THE ASYLUM Joins OFNR

For those of you who haven't followed the history of THE ASYLUM you might not know that Official FN Radio was a big part in the early days of the show. They helped with technical things I needed while I was still cutting my teeth in radio. So we've become radio family over the years as opposed to competing against each other.

So with that I am happy that announce that as of Wednesday, January 8th 2014 you can tune in every Wednesday from 1pm - 4pm EST to catch THE ASYLUM midday for those who aren't night owls.

A big thank you to OFNR for having THE ASYLUM as part of their programming.

BLACK WATER RISING to Tour North America Supporting Kill Devil Hill

"...Raw salt of the earth blood of stoner and sludge metal...cutting edge production giving sharp teeth to the churning grooves...

-Outburn Magazine

"A well-rounded album with great melodies and as always, amazing guitar riffs!"

- The Aquarian

"A thumping heavy rock band that rolls over you like a dump truck filled with uranium"

-DangerDog Music Reviews

This past summer BLACK WATER RISING released their sophomore album Pissed and Driven through Metalville/E1. The band is now ready to take the new songs on the road and will be doing so this fall supporting Kill Devil Hill (featuring Rex Brown and Vinny Appice). The tour will also feature Eyes Set to Kill and Girl on Fire on select dates, and is set to kick off on October 26^th in Ramona, CA and will wrap up November 23^rd in Steger, IL.

Drummer Mike Meselsohn had this to say about the tour with Kill Devil Hill:

"We are beyond psyched to be hitting the road with Kill Devil Hill. This is a great fit for BWR and we are honored to be sharing the stage with Rex, Vinny and the guys. These shows are going to be killer and we look forward to bringing it live every night!"

Before they hit the road with Kill Devil Hill, BLACK WATER RISING will be playing a show this Friday October 18^th at Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ with Seven Witches.

Pissed and Driven is available on Amazon or iTunes. The digital versions of Pissed and Driven feature an exclusive bonus track. The album art was created by Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design (Manowar, TYR).

Invigorated and eager to capitalize on the success of their debut album, the band's new material continues to be riff heavy and proudly anchored in the foundations of traditional hard rock and metal song writing with hooks and catchy choruses to pull you in and leave you wanting more.

Pre-Orders Available Now For DEEP SWELL's Debut Album Featuring Tim Sult of CLUTCH

Lore of the Angler October 15^th via Weathermaker Music

DEEP SWELL is a true rock band rising from the banks of the Potomac River near the historic town of Shepherdstown, WV. Now with their sound crafted, their first album Lore of the Angler is set to be released on Maryland Rockers CLUTCH's record label Weathermaker Music on October 15, 2013. In addition to being released on CLUTCH's label, CLUTCH guitarist Tim Sult is a member of the band. With a powerful female lead vocalist and precise rhythmic force, their sound is a mix of riff-based rock, psychedelia and mysterious poetic lyrics.

Lore of the Angler is available for pre-order now from the Weathermaker Music Store. Pre-order your copy at http://www.indiemerch.com/weathermaker

Years of friendship and mutual appreciation for each other's talents brought guitarist Tim Sult into collaboration with drummer Jesse Shultzaberger and bassist Logan Kilmer. Sult earned his stripes as the guitarist and one of the founding members of the popular rock band, Clutch. Shultzaberger is a versatile drummer who currently tours with the Americana band, The Woodshedders. Kilmer, who honed his technique and methods with Noetic Pull, plays five-string with a smooth bass style to the depth of which helped spawn the band's name. At the beginning of 2012 they met Briena Pearl and invited her to join the trio. Pearl, a lifelong student of voice, theater, and dance, quickly proved the sheer force of her talent as a singer and songwriter, thus establishing an instant chemistry with the band and a clear direction for their emerging sound. With this final addition in place DEEP SWELL's dynamic sound was forged.

In February 2013, the band recorded Lore of the Angler at Magpie Cage Recording Studio in Baltimore, MD. Three months later, they were signed with Weathermaker Music, with the label overseeing distribution, touring and publicity for the album starting this fall. The current is pulling hard and for Deep Swell the tale is just beginning.

DEEP SWELL have scheduled a handful of dates supporting the release of Lore of the Angler, including a CD release party set of October 19^th Shepherdstown, WV at Opera House Live. Following that show the band will out through October 23^rd with Lionize providing support. A complete list of dates is below.

TesseracT - Launch Video For "Nocturne" Continue Heavy Touring

TesseracT have posted their video for the track "Nocturne", taken from their critically acclaimed album, "Altered State". The video, directed by Ben Thornley for Sitcom Soldiers, can be seen here:

http://youtu.be/get0cXOsSXg

The band comments on the video: "As we haven't taken part in our promo videos for a while we felt now was the time to make an appearance. But, we also wanted to create a journey with the video that was similar to the journey portrayed by the music. A pretty straightforward step from the night, what it hides and the fear it generates, into the reassurance and safety of the dawn. We have always really liked the idea of creating silhouettes (we tried to something similar with our first video, "Deception"), so we decided upon using back lights for the majority of the video, which is then reversed when the feeling of the music changes towards the end of the track. We feel the guys at Sitcom Soldiers have really captured the mood of the song, and also produced a video that draws you in."

Ben Thornley who produced the video for Sitcom Soldiers: "Working with TesseracT for us was about capturing something which did a great song justice with a memorable performance, whilst providing an equally provocative atmospheric narrative. The band naturally looked great and the creative process went very smoothly and shows in the final video."

TesseracT are currently on a US tour with Katatonia, Cult of Luna and Intronaut and then immediately venture off in a headlining run with Scale the Summit throughout North America. Next up are Mexico, the UK with Karnivool as well as a trip to India. 2014 kicks off on the road with in Europe and UK with The Safety Fire, Protest The Hero and Intervals before TesseracT are part of the Soundwave Festival in Australia.

GWAR ENDORSES SUPER BOWL PETITION, ANNOUNCES RUN OF HOLIDAY DATES

"Madness at the Core of Time" Tour Kicks off October 2nd

After a week and over 35,000 signatures, Antarctic overlords GWAR finally have officially reacted to the petition started by Jeff Cantrell of Morehead, Kentucky on Change.org to have GWAR play the Super Bowl Halftime Show. The petition can be signed at Change.org/GWARBOWL.

"It has long been the joy of GWAR to submit the human race to any number of hideous tortures, and I can't think of anything more horrible than you having to watch acts like The Black-Eyed Peas and Bruno Mars perform. So the temptation to ignore this is great! But then you start thinking about all of the people that who have never experienced GWAR before, and will be forced to do so if we do get the gig, well, at that point my colossal mega-ego kicks in and I am all over it."

After a long and wet fart, Oderus continued..."I really don't think we should be limited to playing the halftime show...I am offering GWAR as an actual team that could complete in the NFL. Think of the titanic struggle involved as the NFL submits their best players, hell, we could play against all the teams at once and still emerge victorious. For too long has the NFL ignored the obvious fact that the players should be naked, blind-folded and armed with battle axes, that land mines should litter the field and whalers should hurl harpoons randomly from the stands. GWAR is throwing our entire cosmic weight (and we are fairly hefty) behind this petition, and command all of our followers, their families, and indeed anybody who has ever existed to sign this fucking thing, and in fact for those who have already signed it to create multiple fake email addresses and sign it again!"

And now to top it all off, today GWAR is ready to bring everyone a little holiday cheer with a select number of shows this December. That's right it's Christmas Time with Santa Oderus. These three shows are set for December 27^th in New York at Irving Plaza, December 28^th in New Haven, CT at Toad's Place and finally a show in Richmond, VA on December 29^th at The National. Tickets for all three shows go on sale this Friday.

In support of Battle Maximus,GWAR will be heading out this fall on the "Madness at the Core of Time" tour. The tour, which features a completely brand-new show full of slavering creatures and deserving victims, is set to kick off October 2^nd in Columbus, Ohio and runs through November 17^th in Washington, DC. GWAR shall be joined by deathcore heavyweights and label-mates Whitechapel, Richmond, VA thrashers Iron Reagan (featuring Municipal Waste singer Tony Foresta) and A Band of Orcs (who are actually a band of Orcs).

GWAR's Battle Maximus features twelve brand new tracks that not only honor their departed ally, but tells the story of GWAR's latest struggle against what may be their greatest enemy yet...the insidious "Mr. Perfect", who has travelled through time itself to steal the power of GWAR--the power of immortality, and use this power to mutate the human race into his twisted vision of what the "perfect" human should be. Once again GWAR finds themselves as the only thing standing between the human race and the latest super-powered shithead bent on the destruction of GWAR and the enslavement of their worshippers.

The title track from Battle Maximus is streaming HERE.

Check out a stream of the song "Bloodbath" HERE.
