Leave a comment
Uk Gothic rock/metal phenomenon Lesbian Bed Death has officially joined forces with Wormholedeath for the release of their thrilling new album “Midnight Lust,” slated to drop on March 1st, 2024.
Lesbian Bed Death is a Gothic Punk / Heavy Metal band from Stoke-on-Trent, UK. Blending their love of Horror movies and aesthetics with raucous riffage, gothic undertones, and insanely catchy choruses, Lesbian Bed Death has been tearing up the underground for some time.Following the inclusion of their newest lead singer, JJ, in February 2023, Lesbian Bed Death has reached new heights with a successful UK tour, jaw-dropping new music videos, and now, their finest album yet, Midnight Lust.
About Midnight Lust
Horror, Love, Sex, Death, Passion, Empowerment, and Fun are the key ingredients of this new album, providing a rollercoaster of excitement, emotions, and entertainment. The band wants to take their fans on an unforgettable journey, and with this cohesive collection of songs, they continue to both spark the imagination and get the dance floors moving.Midnight Lust is effectively the twin sister of the previous album, The Witching Hour, as both were produced by Steve Lethal and Dan Peach with the pair taking on the majority of the writing. With Midnight Lust, the band decided to take the band in an overall more ‘Heavy Metal’ direction, with a focus on crushing, dark riffs.Lyrically, there are stories told, such as in the title track ‘Maria’ and ‘Horrors of the Crown Hotel’, songs with a dark, personal touch about mental health and personal reflection such as ‘Your Love Makes Everything Worse’ and ‘The Woman Who Drinks Tears’, and full-on party anthems like ‘Satanic Suicide Sex Cult’ and ‘Reykjavik Nights’. There is also a song about Art the Clown from the Terrifier movies (Art of Terror).
Midnight Lust has everything a fan would expect from a Lesbian Bed Death album and more. It’s a mix of Goth, Punk, and Heavy Metal, with killer choruses and a few surprises. You could call it “LBD-XTRA”.
Meet the Band:
Dan Peach – Rhythm Guitar
Aimee Violet – Drums
Leisl Heath – Bass
JJ – Vocals
Steve Lethal – Lead Guitars, Synths, and Additional Rhythm Guitars

Finnish goth rockers LAMORI release captivating single and lyric video for ‘Never Alone’!

Leave a comment

Acclaimed rock dark metal band LAMORI is set to enthrall fans once again with the release of their latest single and accompanying lyric video, ‘Never Alone.’ The track, which offers a unique blend of haunting romanticism and dystopian science fiction, serves as a precursor to their highly anticipated album, ‘NEON BLOOD FIRE.’

‘Never Alone’ transports listeners to a near-future world teetering on the edge of self-destruction, where two lovers dare to face the chaos surrounding them and unearth the chilling secrets of their own existence. Against the backdrop of a dying sun, they cling to the enigmatic cyber-legend known as The Athanasia Project. The track’s compelling narrative weaves a tragic tale of love and loss, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of those who dare to venture into LAMORI’s dark and enchanting realm.

LAMORI’s band members, including Matias Juselius (vocals), Marcus Pellas (guitar), Mikael Westerlund (bass), Jens Wickholm (keys), and Emanuel Sanchez (drums), have poured their artistic vision into ‘Never Alone.’ Demonstrating their versatility, the band chose to include a slightly softer song within their repertoire of hard-hitting bangers, a tradition they’ve maintained across their previous albums. ‘Never Alone’ seamlessly blends heartfelt emotions with a powerful musicality, culminating in a bridge that delivers an intense punch, emblematic of LAMORI’s signature style.

NYC artist GUITARMY OF ONE presents retro sci-fi inspired ‘Soylent Seafoam Green’ ahead of ‘The Wave Files’ LP!

Leave a comment

Guitarmy of One presents his latest adventurous offering ‘Soylent Seafoam Green’, the third single from his forthcoming crowdfunded album ‘The Wave Files’. With the title and mood inspired by the 1970s cult sci-fi movie ‘Soylent Green’, this song mixes dark ominous guitar riffing with surf guitar swells and foreboding reverb drenched melodies.

This is surf rock with a gothic edge from guitarist Scott Helland, an ex-hardcore punk bass player turned instrumental songwriter, whose first band (Deep Wound) was formed with alt-rock trailblazers J Mascis and Lou Barlow (Dinosaur Jr). He would later join hardcore/ crossover thrash stalwarts Outpatients, School of Violence and Darkside NYC before ultimately forming post-punk duo Frenchy and the Punk in 2005.

This solo project combines the thrilling sounds of spy-themed instrumental surf guitar music with punk vitality. Taking listeners on a sonic adventure to the realms of intrigue, danger and surf-soaked excitement, Helland channels that raw and unconventional spirit into a quirky fusion of genres.

‘Soylent Seafoam Green’ is in keeping with my blend of the spy and surf sound and is quite dark for a surf song. However, it fits the theme of the 1973 dystopian thriller film ‘Soylent Green’ of which the song’s title is based, but don’t worry, listening to the song repeatedly won’t lead to cannibalism!” says Scott Helland.

Earlier, Guitarmy of One released ‘Kolchak meets the Sea Mobster’, with a Spanish guitar-influenced twist and lead track ‘Top Secret Agent Man on a Wire Tapped Phone at Sea’, along with a fun spytastic video.

This record picks up where his latest album ‘The Spy Detective Collective’ left off. Helland explains, “I wanted this album to be music you want to travel with – in your mind or physically. It’s action music, and I think it should ignite your imagination and take you on a journey. Wordless music relies on the visuals it creates so if it can take you on a sonic adventure across continents, or at least counties, my work is done. The idea for this album is rooted in spy and detective shows from the 60s, 70s and 80s. I want the music to be a sonic equivalent of those shows and movies where you’re riding the waves of intrigue and espionage so the music has to match that sense of urgency and excitement.”

As a full-fledged espionage-inspired surf rock act, Guitarmy of One takes us on a thrilling musical journey, blending the realms of instrumental guitar, surf music and the mystique of spy themes within the one person band format. Helland weaves his mysterious and generous acoustic-electric melodies over propulsive spy riffs and electro beats, layering and building patiently toward engrossing payoffs.

Influenced by Spanish guitar, punk and metal, Guitarmy of One conjures up images of secret agents, high-speed chases, and hidden agendas through his intricate layered compositions. His mix of surf guitar techniques (i.e. reverb-drenched chords, lightning-fast tremolo picking, and tremolo bar vibrato albeit with a Bigsby bridge pedal) creates a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking.

As of July 26, ‘Soylent Seafoam Green’ is available across digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where the full album can already be ordered. On August 18, ‘The Wave Files’ album will be released on CD, as well as digitally.
