“Fantastic metal quartet THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON have released the fourth single and their first original song, the harmonic “The Gates of Time”. The fourth single from debut album, Metamorphosis, highlights Melissa Bonny’s distinctive voice, combined with the beautiful harp playing by Jenny Diehl.” 

“Formed by members of Feuerschwanz, Amaranthe and Ad Infinitum, THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON has charmed fans with their three previous singles – the enchanting soundtrack covers “Jenny Of Oldstones”, “May It Be” and “Double Trouble / Lumos! (Hedwig’s Theme)”. The band is set to release their astonishing debut album, Metamorphosis, on May 12, 2023 via Napalm Records.”

THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON on “The Gates of Time”:             
“We are beyond proud to present to you the very first song we’ve ever written together as a band! We started this journey with covers of famous songs from movies, series, and video games but soon we realized that writing our own stories and melodies was a must. Four creative minds with so many ideas to share – “The Gates Of Time“ is just the beginning!”

“THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON started with a bet between AD INFINITUM singer Melissa Bonny and Hans Platz, the guitarist of FEUERSCHWANZ. Whoever lost owed the other a “dare”. Hans won and challenged Melissa to record a metal version of their first ever single “Jenny Of Oldstones”, and the rest is history! Exploring the fantastical lives of famous pop culture heroes since their childhood, the multitalented musicians transform soundtracks of worldwide known movies, TV shows and video games into powerful metal tracks on the debut album Metamorphosis.

“THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON don’t just limit themselves to cover versions, but also include new, original songs dedicated to their favorite warriors. Marching into the great worlds of The Lord of the Rings, the band paints the Grammy-nominated soundtrack “May It Be”, featuring Charlotte Wessels (ex-DELAIN), in a new light, while the mystic song “Misty Mountains” (feat. EVERGREY’s Tom S. Englund) of The Hobbit film trilogy underlines the tragic story through melodic folk vocal lines and rousing guitar riff choirs.”

“Like the seven untamed seas, the melodies appear in energetic and rousing waves, while others head towards the shore in an exciting, elegant and soulful rhythm. Exploring the untouched sides of these multifaceted selected songs, the multinational band shifts the world famous soundscapes into new adventures which will take listeners back to forgotten times. The multi-million streamed League of Legends soundtrack theme, “Legends Never Die”, comes back to life through a stunning makeover due to the incredible vocal lines of Melissa Bonny. Just like the moon, every song has an unexplored side, now discovered by THE DARK SIDE OF THE MOON.”

As fans anxiously await the studio follow up to CRADLE OF FILTH’s highly-acclaimed 2021 full-length album, Existence Is Futile, the extreme metal legends led by iconic frontman Dani Filth have unleashed a thirst-quencher of epic proportions – their first live album to be released in over 20 years, Trouble And Their Double Lives, set for release on April 28, 2023 via Napalm Records.

CRADLE OF FILTH mastermind Dani Filth says about the track:
“This track and the other original track on this album, ‘Demon Prince Regent’, were both written after the recording of Existence Is Futile and present a perfect, but not necessarily related, bridge between our Nuclear Blast days and the forthcoming album on Napalm Records. It was always intended to be a double album, so we just thought, ‘f**k it! Let’s cram some original material on there as well! The absolute worst of both worlds!
The song itself is about the epitome of burning passion; the dark inspiration of love and the creature that has ignited it.”

Why You Still Need Cradle of Filth’s ‘Existence Is Futile’ LP In Your Life!

When Cradle of Filth unleashed ‘Existence Is Futile’ (2021), the band delivered yet another massive album, This gothic metal masterpiece featured an intense and dark sound that was sure to capture the attention of metal fans around the world.

NOFX formed in 1983, and their 40-year career has been a rollercoaster of successes and failures. The band was one of the pioneers of the West Coast punk scene and launched a decade’s worth of music that blended punk with elements of ska, funk, and pop. Over time they evolved from brash outsiders to adults who never lost sight of their original mission – to make honest music that speaks to real life issues. Now after decades together, NOFX has announced their last tour as a band.

The announcement came as an ultra shocking surprise to many fans because NOFX seemed to still be going strong with new music coming out constantly over the years. But the members felt it was finally time for them close this chapter in their lives together so they can focus on individual projects and families.

Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein Unleashes Evil Noise with “Abominator”

Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein, the poster child and originator of horror punk, has released a new evil noise upon an unsuspecting world with his first release, “Abominator,” by his eponymous band, Doyle. This sonically thick and lyrically evil slab of metal is a logical progression upon the genre of music he helped create and is not the sound of some punk guitarist gone metal but the roaring return of one of extreme metal’s original architects to his blood-splattered drawing board.

The Annihilator’s tone, sharp as a butcher’s knife in the wrong hands, cuts through on every tune like a sonic fingerprint, immediately recognizable to fans of the Misfits. On tunes like “Headhunter” and “Land of the Dead,” the riffs are relentless and remorseless, while “Dreamingdeadgirls” brings a blackened-blues swing, and “Love Like Murder” shows a healthy appreciation for all things Sabbath. “Blood Stains” moves from primal sludge to ripping off-time thrash with ease, making “Abominator” a cohesive and well-executed piece of work that takes the listener on a bloody journey to places that some fear to tread.

Doyle’s new project needed a singer with brass balls, cast-iron pipes, a suitably twisted mind, and a vocal delivery style that could switch seamlessly from raw-throated roars to rough-edged yet melodic, clean vocals. Enter Alabama’s Alex Story of Cancerslug, a Southern fiend whose sand-blasted scream opens the record. The evil doesn’t relent until the ending growl of “Hope Hell Is Warm,” the album’s defiant closer. Alex’s live performances can only be described as unforgettable, disturbing, and strangely addictive – a perfect complement to Doyle’s already mammoth stage presence.

As befits songs as musically dark as “Abominator,” the album’s lyrics are not for the faint of heart. Penned entirely by Story (probably in blood), they are entirely and uncompromisingly dark—absolutely zero attempts to balance evil with any good counterpoint throughout the record. Music fans looking for feel-good anthems had the best look elsewhere – those who enjoy strolling through the shadows will be greatly satisfied.

In conclusion, “Abominator” is a masterpiece of horror punk and an unapologetically evil album that will leave listeners feeling like they have been on a bloody journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche. With Doyle Wolfgang Von Frankenstein’s signature Annihilator guitar and Alex Story’s unforgettable vocal performance, this album is a must-listen for any fan of the genre.

So how did this Jersey devil and crew wind up with a Dixie-bred howler? “

Doyle: After I had written all this music, I realized I had to get someone to sing this stuff- once I’m done recording guitars, all I can see is myself just playing that riff, ya know? That’s my thing, not lyrics and singing,” Doyle says, with typically blunt candor. “I’ve known Alex for a while, so I called him up, then sent him a bunch of the tunes. Two days later, he sent me back ‘Mark of the Beast’, just like it is on the record. I said, ‘That’s exactly what I want!’, and the rest is history. I only wrote the word ‘abominator’- all the rest of that stuff is Alex. He’s just crazy, man”. It’s a match made in hell. But no metal band would be complete without a complete animal behind the drum kit. Brandon “The Crusher” Pertzborn (of Black Flag) delivers all the aggression and insanity necessary (and then some) with his exquisite musicality and showmanship.

So what can fans expect at a Doyle show?

Doyle: “To get fucking pummeled, man. And then go home and ask themselves ‘What the fuck just happened to me?!?’, hahaha…” he replies with a laugh that, this time, no joke about it, actually sounds evil. Loud, aggressive, and technically proficient, Doyle and crew are set to show the world how true horror metal sounds today.

So crank up Abominator until your speakers blow, check out Doyle on tour, and let the beatings begin!”
