(news – new video) Dead Serious welcomes THE YEAR – new video ‘Overthinker’ out now!

It’s with great pleasure to announce that THE YEAR signed with DEAD SERIOUS Recordings. We can’t wait to show you the next moves! Expect some new killer tunes very soon! Meanwhile listen to the new single OVERTHINKER on Spotify or all other digital outlets.

The Year (based in Lisbon, Portugal) is a band that creates a eclectic blend of genres to produce a sound that is both timeless and cutting-edge. Their music is characterized by dynamic arrangements, soaring vocals, and simple instrumentation that evokes vivid musical emotions. With each song, The Year explores themes of growth, change, and self-discovery, creating a sonic journey that is both introspective and universal.

A band made up of a hardened music outfit who have not only worked together but toured many countries in previous years. They may have only officially got together in the Summer of 2012 but all the systems and processes were in place way before then! The self titled debut album received very positive reviews from across Europe. The Year have been the support act for bands such as Architects, More Than a Thousand, Comeback Kid, Devil In Me, Desolated, Deez Nuts, Your Demise, Martyr De led and many others.

(review) Atreyu – Baptize

Long time running California´s Atreyu are back with a new studio full length. I am not an avid fan of metalcore but this band has always been an exception from that rule, besides couple more. This band cleverly incorporates metalcore, melodic hardcore and nice use of electronics and samples in some song structures. Also, I always love that mix of brutal screaming vocals and then come fantastic clean vocals and melodic parts. These new songs offer some anthems that are going to be in my opinion standard parts of Atreyu´s setlist like Broken Again, Weed and Baptize. There are couple of prominent guests on this album, Matt Heafy, Jacoby Shaddix and Travis Barker. This album made me listen to it over and over again. Great catchy melodic guitar work, uplifting songs and energy is what makes this one a must if you like this kind of music.

Tokyo based metalcore outfit Sailing Before The Wind released their new single “Break the Silence (Rerecorded)”.This single is a re-recording of the original track that was on their EP – A Ray Of Light.

The band has been centered around bassist and composer Bitoku Sakamoto who is the only constant member of the lineup, he is also known as a former touring bassist of Crystal Lake. This self-released single features vocalist Kneeya and guitarist Takaya both are founding members of the band to celebrate the band’s 10th anniversary. The track was produced, mixed and mastered by Bitoku.

The lyrics have been rewritten around the theme of the band’s 10 years struggle to get out of Japan’s small metalcore scene. Some of the riffs and lead guitars have also been rearranged to make it more guitar oriented metalcore.


“Break the Silence (Rerecorded)” now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and most other online streaming platforms.
