Hard rocking band HVALROSS releases third and final new 2023 single: ‘Helios”

Leave a comment

Third and last 2023 single “HELIOS” OUT NOW!

Stream on Spotify HERE!!
Lyric video HERE!

                            Also available on all other streaming platforms

Dutch hardrocking metal band HVALROSS is coming out with their third and last song of 2023, and what a song it is!!  “HELIOS”, a rocking, melodic song with nice, harmonized vocals and a proggy midsection featuring guest keyboard player Jochem Brok!

“Helios” written by Hvalross

Recorded by Walter Poppelaars and Maarten Vermeulen
Mixed and mastered by Erwin Hermsen at Toneshed studios
Guest keyboards by Jochem Brok

Hvalross is:
Barry Veeke: Guitar
Gerben van Oosterhout: Vocals
Marc van Gastel: Drums and Percussion
Maarten Vermeulen: Bass Guitar & Backing Vocals

Hvalross is a four piece hard rocking band, not from Norway as the name would suggest, but from the South of the Netherlands. The band saw first light in the spring of 2018, but the members have been rocking since they were teenagers in the late eighties. Hvalross wants to honour these times. The hard rock and heavy metal from the seventies and eighties therefore has a strong base in their sound and lyrics, supplemented with influences from contemporary stoner and heavy rock music. It is said that you can hear influences from Mastodon, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden. Expect the classic compact four-piece rock band, in a set up just like our heroes Black Sabbath, with melodic classic hard rock vocals over a rhythmic band. Heavy and monstrous like a walrus combined with an energetic stage performance.

In October 2020 Hvalross released their debut album ‘Cold Dark Rain’ on the regular streaming platforms. Because of the bands sentiments for the good old eighties, it is also released on ‘cold rain’ coloured vinyl. The album was well received and Hvalross got representation by Hard Life Promotion. Sadly, Covid did not make it possible to promote the album live and made original drummer Tristan decide to quit the band in 2021. Hvalross quickly got back in battle formation with our good friend and drummer Marc.

Continuing to unleash new music on the world, after “Running the Gauntlet” and “Mercenary Knight” it is now time for “HELIOS”!!

Aussie Metal/Hard Rock Band Emergency Rule Joins Forces with Wormholedeath

Leave a comment
Head-banging rock‘n’roll powerhouse Emergency Rule proudly announces their signing with Wormholedeath for the release of their debut album, “The King of Ithaca,” slated to hit the airwaves on February 9, 2024.Emerging from the pulsating heart of the Aussie rock scene, Emergency Rule has shattered genre boundaries, forging a unique sound that weaves together rock, stoner, and metal influences into a sonic tapestry of raw power and innovation.“We are absolutely stoked to be joining the WormholeDeath family,” exclaimed the band in an exuberant statement. “Our debut album ‘The King of Ithaca’ is the culmination of numerous recording sessions completed throughout Covid lockdowns. It comprises riff-laden songs we have honed live on stage over the course of several years, and Jarrad Nettle (Co-Producer, Engineer) has managed to perfectly capture the sound and energy of our live shows in a studio environment.
With lyrical themes of corporate greed, revenge, heartache, domestic violence, drug addiction, death, mental health, religion, and regret, this album truly is a reflection of the world and a sign of the times we live in.
We can’t wait for everyone to hear “The King of Ithaca”, and we are thrilled to be partnering with WormholeDeath to deliver it to the masses.”Emergency Rule
It’s Sabbath with attitude, Down with a swagger, Skynyrd with power. The band’s laid-back vibe is a smokescreen to the musicians’ earth-shaking riffs.
Bringing heavy grooves, V8 style booming bass lines, and pounding room-quaking drums, Emergency Rule is a foot-stomping, head-banging rock ‘n’ roll sensation.

They’re a band of gifted musicians with a diverse history featuring Doug Clark (Universum) on bass/vocals, former 63 Stone guitarists Chris George and Cal Wegener, with Travis Dragani (Bruce Kulick, Mike Tramp) on drums.

They have supported acts as prestigious as Corrosion of Conformity, Suicidal Tendencies, Buckcherry, Sasquatch, Dozer, and Hardcore Superstar, and after a few years of teasing us with singles they are about to drop their thumping debut album ‘The King of Ithaca’.
Whether it’s the deal with the devil ‘Snake Eyes’ or the bar room barfly ‘Bartender’, Emergency Rule is a good time, no-nonsense-boogie-grooving infectious vibe. Pull up a chair, get a drink, and roll that dice.
