LISTEN to ‘At The Edge’ album on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/ffg-edge 

The theme of the album revolves around the title, as it explores the mindset of a person who has been pushed to the edge mentally, with no way out. The lyrics, as usual, touch on the darker side of life, but also address the current state of the world. The compositions on the album are somewhat darker than those on the previous release, “Shattered.” There is also a song on the album, titled “The Creator,” which is a bit different from the band’s usual style. Falling From Grace’s characteristic energy and aggression are also present on this release.

At The Edge combines various genres of metal, with a focus on groove metal and melodic death metal. The songwriting is once again handled by the band’s guitarist Timi Tonteri.

Nils Courbaron (Sirenia, Bloodorn, T.A.N.K.) is featuring on the album’s last track The Creator. 

“With At The Edge, we’ve taken a step forward from the last album and incorporated elements we haven’t used before. The timing of the album release is perfect, with Tuska Festival just around the corner, where we will also perform.”

(new post – new single) NYHC powerhouse The Great Lie released new single from their upcoming record!

Leave a comment

The Great Lie is a powerhouse hardcore band from Long Island, New York, known for its raw energy and deep roots in the scene. Formed in 2014, the band features seasoned veterans—Kerry Merkle on vocals, Scott Martin on bass, Mike Scarola on guitar, and John Lafata on drums—who bring experience from legendary acts such as Madball, Mind Over Matter, Silent Majority, Sheer Terror, Milhouse, Dmize, and Neglect.

Since its inception, The Great Lie has shared stages with hardcore heavyweights like Pro-Pain, Agnostic Front, H2O, Madball, Pain Of Truth, T.S.O.L., D.I., and M.O.D., solidifying their reputation for intense, uncompromising performances. Their 2020 release, Defying Extinction, was recorded with the renowned Martin Bisi, whose impressive resume includes working with Sonic Youth, Unsane, and Season To Risk—as well as ties to Scott and John’s former band, Mind Over Matter—adding a rich layer of influence and expertise to the production.

Continuing to push boundaries, their 2023 release Vertigo was mastered by Arthur Rizk, whose credits include Cavalera Conspiracy, Jungle Rot, and Road Mutant. The band is now set to ignite the scene once again with their upcoming album Songs For A Monday Morning, led by the electrifying single “Fractured,” which also features Rizk’s distinctive mastering touch.

With a legacy of collaboration, innovation, and relentless energy, The Great Lie continues to defy expectations and redefine the sound of modern hardcore.

The Great Lie’s second single off Songs For A Monday, Rinse and Repeat is a raw, driving anthem about the grind of daily life and the fight to push through. With blistering riffs and unrelenting energy, the Long Island hardcore veterans channel frustration and reflection into a powerful call to survive. Gritty and urgent, the track captures the weight of routine, the passage of time, and the struggle to break free. No matter the pain, the goal remains: Make it out alive. 

The single was released April 4th 2025

The E.P. “Songs For A Monday” will be released April 18th 2025 through Lemmis Records

Elm Tree Circle New Single ‘Goodbye’!

Leave a comment

Elm Tree Circle‘s latest release, Goodbye, is an emotional journey through the haunting echoes of lost love. As the music weaves a tale of fractured connections and bittersweet farewells, the poignant chorus resonates, encapsulating the universal struggle of holding on to a love that slips away. Goodbye is not just a song; it’s a soul-stirring testament to the complexities of love and the delicate dance between nostalgia and moving forward.

Elm Tree Circle have evolved towards a style that inherits all the classic influences of their late 90s and early 2000s pop-punk heroes paired with a good touch of emotional lyrics, melancholic chords and distinct vocal lines that spin in your head after the first listen.


The former solo project broke ground in Europe’s emo, punk and D.I.Y.
scene with their Drawn EP in 2016. After getting more international attention with their debut album The Good Life two years later (1 million
streams on Spotify alone), the band followed up with their sophomore
Album NO FOMO in 2020 a few month after their planned tour to promote
the first singles came to a grinding halt due to the start of the pandemic in
march 2020. In the years before the lock down, Elm Tree Circle as a group
as well as a singer songwriter, have engaged in extensive touring playing
numerous shows across Europe, Australia, Japan and recently even India
where they stage was shared with iconic artists like The Ataris, Pears,
Boston Manor and Such Gold. Germany’s Visions magazine once even
praised them as best in class in emo-rock (translated). Song suggestions
are Feel The Burn as well as All About You for friends of Movements,
Modern Baseball, PUP and American Football.


After a creative break during Covid, the band is finally back with an album
in the pipeline and three singles already out in 2023. Singles “Bae”,
Stoned and Common have made it on major Spotify playlists such as
“All New Rock”, “Rock Rotation” and “Alternative Noise” and feature their
classic package of relatable lyrics and catchy hooks.


On January 25th the group released their latest single Goodbye which
experiments with sounds and a production style that’s new to the band’s
portfolio. The song is an emotional journey through the echoes of lost love
and a testament to the complexities of romantic relationships.
