HELLFIRE 76 New Video “Rags to Rage” Is A Rip Roaring Rock Title Track Off New Album Out End of Nov 2024

North Carolina, USA’s, Southern Metal duo Hellfire 76 has just dropped their rippin’ new video for single “Rags to Rage” the title track from their upcoming first full-length, which hits speakers on November 29th. The song showcases the band’s signature combination of fuzzed-out grooves and occult-themed storytelling, drawing from founding member Von Bury’s New Orleans roots. The band comments on the single:

“Musically, it’s fast and aggressive; lyrically, it’s pretty much an “action/reaction” lyric- each to its own interpretation. Simply put, we wanted a song that kicked down the door right from the start. It’s full of fast grooves with rapid-fire lyrics.”

The two-piece outfit, featuring Von Bury (guitar/bass/organ/vocals) (formerly of the Southern Gothic act LOVESUCKER and the Occult Rock act and Napalm Recording artist BLOODY HAMMERS) and Mike McGuiness (drums) (formerly of the Industrial Metal act FACE THE WORLD), delivers a massive wall of sound that belies their minimal lineup. Recorded in a single take, “Rags to Rage” demonstrates the raw power and precision that has earned Hellfire 76 recognition as one of the heaviest two-piece acts in the local scene.

Looking to branch out further, the act challenges metal and rock fans to indulge with their new music video, which can be seen and heard via its premiere on GhostCultMagazine HERE.

All killer-no filler, this two-piece brings 110% to their album “Rags To Rage”. The overall theme of this record is dark, taboo, spooky, tongue-in-cheek, fuzzed-out southern metal. Von Bury explains further:

“The album RAGS TO RAGE is a continuation of our first release, in that the subject matter is all thought-provoking. As for a lot of music, we want the lyrics to be literal but also open to the listener’s interpretation. Sticking with the theme and ideas of Voodoo, Witchcraft, The Occult, and other oddities. We want to take the listeners on a dark and ominous journey into a place they don’t normally think about.”

For fans of Melvins, Clutch, Killing Joke, and Fu Manchu, “Rags To Rage” is available for album pre-order at https://hellfire76.bandcamp.com.

“Dark, mysterious, foreboding, yet strangely inviting. This is the latest single (The Omen) from HELLFIRE ‘76, a band that brings together the things you love about heavy music: bold, swinging riffs, gruff manic vocals, crunchy chugging rhythms. “The Omen” has got it all going on, which lyrically “is about how religion uses fear to prey on weak minds to do the dirty work.” – Doomed and Stoned

“Drink the concoction prepared by the band, a cocktail of blood riffs, genuine rhythms and distorted vocals that you can find in the dirtiest pubs in New Orleans! Fans of Kyuss, ZZ Top, Killing Joke, The Melvins and Clutch will be thrilled!” – Heavy Mag

“In the radius of bituminous rhythms, nevertheless animated by a Rock energy, we frankly opt more for cousinage with CLUTCH, a formation that has always been able to evolve between thickness, melody and conciseness. With, as a bonus, these hints of greasy and oily Blues which inject a kind of groove and sap within a Metal which should not silence or ignore its affinities with the severe and groovy Metal proper to Pantera.” – Integral Metal

“Hellfire 76 comes at you hard and heavy and without mercy.” – Doomed Nation

“Hellfire 76, A duo devoted to rampaging Stoner-Doom-Psych-Metal, which swings to dense blues licks that suggest a Triceratops mating with a Sherman Tank!” – Q C Nerve

The Hellfire 76 use the masks of voodoo, witchcraft, the occult and tarot cards to tell us stories of how Evil has taken over our world, ruled by liars, impostors and careerists. People are flooded with a river of lies, perpetrated by governments and the Church, which obscure our view of the Truth.” – Progressive Rock Journal

Handsome Pants Is Here To Get Your Unstuck With Energetic, Peppy “Rut”

Premiere Single via TheObelisk

Handsome Pants is the kind of band that shows up to a gig dressed haphazardly in mismatched Value Village clothes they picked out for each other. The kind of band that doesn’t take themselves seriously just wants to rock out and have a good time with their fans. Handsome Pants proves fun does not be sacrificed to make lively, highly creative music.

Loud and obnoxious is the name of the game for Handsome Pants and the rambunctious uniqueness really shines through with their new single, “Rut” which follows a concept that a lot of people are familiar with. The feeling of being stuck in a rut and turning to alcohol. The band explains the single in more depth:

“Rut is the second release in our early existence as a band. This song is something Andrew has been sitting on for a long time and rewriting lyrics. Finally finding the right content and lyrics putting it together at this time seems perfect. It seems to relate to a lot of people right now and what they are going through with the pandemic and everything else happening right now.”

The most mainstream track the band has to date still holds on to its originality with the layered vocals and prominent harmonica.

“Rut” is suitable for all kinds of rock radio, it’s punchy and tight, for fans of Royal Blood, Highly Suspect, and Clutch, Handsome Pants is just getting started and anticipates more music coming down the pipe.

Listen to “Rut” via its premiere on TheObelisk.net HERE.

About:
Emerging from the remnant of another band, Jordan Nodwell (bass), Kyle Nodwell (drums), and Andrew Bateman (guitar/vocals), created Handsome Pants to get the fulfillment they missed. Looking to add something a little extra, they found Chuck Smith who rocks the harmonica, bringing with him a unique and different element that is layered with effect and not the conventional lyric or style.

Bateman has historically written the majority of ideas for songs and of late Smith and Nodwell have come up with song good song ideas. Once the idea is brought to the table the rest of the band throws in ideas and parts that make the song better and sometimes an unseen turn around on the song for the better.

Loud, and obnoxious, Handsome Pants is the kind of band that plays a gig clad in loud thrift store clothes they picked out for each other. Fun, lively and no pretentious attitudes is half of the Handsome Pants formula, the other being unique, punchy, and tight music for listeners of all kinds.

Handsome Pants is currently not focused on completing an album, just making good music on their time, song by song.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – August 15, 2019

For fans of The Bronx, Queens of the Stone Age, High On Fire, Eye Hate God, Fu Manchu

WAINGRO’s New Album ‘III’ Streaming In Full via Stoned Meadow of DoomOut August 16, 2019 Sludgelord Records (UK vinyl, worldwide digital) / September 13, 2019 No List Records (Canada vinyl)

WAINGRO is not just a crazy, terrible human for hire trying to make his life in L.A. as portrayed in the 1995 film Heat. It’s also the name of a crazy rock n’ roll band who are making their way through the Canadian music scene and beyond with the release of their upcoming third album “III” set to be released in the UK on vinyl and digitally worldwide via Sludgelord Records on August 16th along with its Canadian vinyl release on September 13th via No List Records.

Using the character from Mann’s movie as a jumping-off point, the Vancouver band imagines further scenarios of pre-Heat WAINGRO situations. Releasing three singles ‘Red Death’, ‘Bay Area Cult’ and ‘Merrin’ in preview to the upcoming album, the band is now ready to share with fans the full length’s complete stream YouTube channel Stoned Meadow of Doombefore it is officially out.

The band adds:

“The first album was kind of chaotic, the second one explored the stoner/doom side of things a bit more, and this new and third one is a mix of the two, but with a more grunge/noise element to it. It’s a nice addition to anyone’s heavy, noisy rock catalogue.”

“III”, as suggested, is the third album from WAINGRO and has shown considerable growth from their previous releases “Mt. Hood” (2015) and Self-Titled (2014).

Listen to ‘III’ in full at the following here.

9. Pacino (1:53)
10. Monaco (3:29)
11. Greenwater Manifesto (4:59)
12. Cardinal (4:42)
Album Length: 40:06

The experienced musicians have honed their craft in several other bands over the years, but it wasn’t until they formed Waingro that Sepanzyk (guitar/vocals), Nesdoly (drums), and Nate Pennell (bass/backing vocals) were truly able to explore their talents in the abrasive desert rock band. While their earlier material can be considered stoner hardcore with releases Self Titled (2014) and Mt. Hood (2015); Waingro adds a grunge edge with their upcoming album “III due out August 15, 2019, its UK vinyl and worldwide digital release via Sludgelord Records and is Canadian vinyl release on September 13, 2019, via No List Records.

Not ones to be conventional, Waingro gives a glimpse into their writing process: “It usually starts with Sepanzyk coming up with some riffs, then going out to a cabin and locking ourselves away for 2-3 days while we BBQ and play Bocce.”

Bringing a ton of energy, while still remaining super tight, Waingro’s main lyrical concepts explore the character of the same name from the film Heat. Writing about situations from the character’s potential point of view complemented with visual landscapes for his possibilities, Waingro have played several festivals across Canada and with their latest album around the corner, will be looking to further their reach in the future.

“Waingro have crafted an impressive debut that should soon see them mentioned alongside fellow Vancouverites Baptists and Bison B.C. as a reliable source of West Coast heaviness.” – Exclaim

“Think Queens of the Stone Age but with Nick Oliveri fully supplanting Josh Homme on the mic.” – BeatRoute

“There is no escaping from the fact that Waingro have something special about them. As they have the sound and vision to turn some heads within the Hard Rock/Stoner Rock scene.” – Sludgelord

“Waingro came out swinging, with a masterful energy and stage presence that immediately turned heads across the board.” – BeatRoute

“Melodically dissonant in the best way possible, these guys play rock ‘n roll the way it should be, drawing on influences from all over the place to concoct something that they’ve made entirely their own.” – CVLT Nation

(contact info below)

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – July 12, 2019

For fans of Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains, Fu Manchu, Led Zeppelin

Out Now! Kingston’s JIMBO EP “Where The Vultures Gather”

JIMBO, out of Kingston, Canada is here to deliver their sophomore EP entitled “Where The Vultures Gather”, which is now available as of July 12, 2019. Creating and performing rock music with dramatic artistic value that blurs between dark psychedelia, JIMBO draws inspiration from groovy fusion, hard rock, goth rock, and shoegaze. Their goal is to first and foremost be musicians and artists that are able to create an immersive musical experience that will have a lasting effect on their fans. The band aims to create rock music that pays respect to the past, acknowledges the future but makes the listener dissolve in the present. Fans of bands like Soundgarden, Smashing Pumpkins, Alice in Chains and grunge influences will sure to be happy to sink their teeth into “Where The Vultures Gather”.

The new EP sits on the line between hope and despair, taking a step away from the current status quo by embracing 90’s alternative rock that doesn’t make concessions for the everyday listener, but is rather geared for the underground. With lyrical content aimed at those who find themselves in a ‘me vs. the world’ mindset, JIMBO is ready to add ammunition to attack mode.

The band adds:

“The tracks on this EP were decided early on as they are our favourite songs to play live and ones that we see get the most audience response. ‘Mamawawa’ and ‘Where The Vultures Gather’ were made to be headbanging songs made to play loud with aggressive guitars and drums. ‘Pyrethrin’ maintains that heaviness, but demonstrates the progressive rock tendencies of the band. JIMBO’s main goal is to make artistic rock music. We find most other bands nowadays embrace the internet culture and fads. You probably won’t get that vibe from JIMBO. JIMBO is darker than most of the bands that are in the scene right now.”

“Where The Vultures Gather” is now available for streaming and download on the following links:

“Let us introduce you to the budding Kingston, Ontario-based band, JIMBO. The group, who sell fiery and bluesy psychedelic rock ” – PureGrainAudio

“These three songs are quite interesting, especially if you love flashing guitar solos ” – Merchants of Air

““Where The Vultures Gather,” is a riff monster. With the drums beating down the listener’s skull it comes barrelling in, shifting and shaping the wind and blowing everything away with grace and power.” – The Median Man

“a great mix of alternative rock, dark psych and a drop of acid blues ” – Hard Rock Heavy Metal

“Jimbo is a solid band name and I was excited to have a listen to this psych-rock band from Kingston. “Thunderbird” opens their debut EP with a thumping pace before the guitars kick in with a classic blues driven lick. It’s a nice mix of 70’s hard rock and 90’s stoner tunes. There’s also a real face melter of a solo in this track as well. Grab this EP when ya got 15 minutes available to rock out.” – Kris Gies, Deli Magazine

Using the character from Mann’s movie as a jumping off point, the Vancouver band imagines further scenarios of pre-Heat WAINGRO situations, such as their first single‘Red Death’ off their upcoming album “III”. For those unfamiliar with the movie, the band explains the premise behind the lyrics for the track and the musical influence:

“The second track always needs to be a heavy hitter. It was fun to play into Converge influences on this one at the end. The lyrics talk of WAINGRO’s recipe for Red Death, which is a form of meth that’s swept the streets. It’s a shameful thing to brag about but that falls in line with what a shitty dude like him would do. And it’s a recipe that he will take to his grave – what an asshole…”

“III”, as suggested, is the third album from WAINGRO and has shown considerable growth from their previous releases “Mt. Hood” (2015) and Self-Titled (2014).

The band explains:

Fans of The Bronx, Queens of the Stone Age, and High On Fire will appreciate the heavy, abrasive, high energy sound of ‘Red Death’, which can be heard streaming on Doomed & Stoned at the following link: https://doomedandstoned.com/post/185908670483/waingro

Kingston’s JIMBO New Single ‘Mamawawa’ Off Upcoming EP Out July 2019

Self-Titled Sophomore EP Out July 12, 2019

JIMBO, out of Kingston, Canada is here to provoke the masses with their latest politically charged single ‘Mamawawa’. An acronym for the psychological concept men are men and women are women assumption the track explores an event that occurred at Queen’s University when a riot broke up during a controversial speech by Dr Jordan Peterson.

‘Mamawawa’ comes from the second EP from JIMBO entitled “Where the Vultures Gather” slated for release in 2019. Sitting on the line between hope and despair, JIMBO takes a step away from the current status quo by embracing 90’s alternative rock that doesn’t make concessions for the everyday listener, but is rather geared for the underground. With lyrical content aimed at those who find themselves in a ‘me vs. the world’ mindset, JIMBO is ready to add ammunition to attack mode.

A stealthy combination of alternative rock and dark psychedelia, ‘Mamawawa ‘ was written by Alex Van Der Heyden after him and Joe Narducci attended the event it was inspired by. They explain a bit of the occurrence:

“It became clear that there was no real dialogue between the Social Justice Warriors trying to shut down Peterson and the people who came out to hear him talk. The rioters shouted offensive slurs and violently banged on the walls and windows of the lecture hall. This just resulted in Jordan Peterson shouting louder into the microphone and his followers cheering and becoming more supportive of his side of the argument. It was like watching the divide in our society getting wider and wider and it was pretty heartbreaking.”

‘Mamawawa’ can be heard via its premiere on PureGrainAudio.com at the following link: https://puregrainaudio.com/audio/kingston-rockers-jimbo-get-political-on-their-fiery-new-single-mamawawa-song-premiere
