Grammy nominated alt-metal act SPINESHANK has released their new album ANGER DENIAL ACCEPTANCE today, the band's first studio album in nearly a decade.  The band has also teamed up with Loudwire.com to premiere their new music video for "Nothing Left For Me," the lead single off of ANGER DENIAL ACCEPTACE. 

"The 'Nothing Left For Me' video is the first video that we have ever done that truly captures the energy of the band and emotion behind the song," says drummer Tommy Decker of the clip, which was directed by Kevin Estrada [Serj Tankian].  "The video ends in a very dark place that really represents the lyrical content of the song."

The music video for "Nothing Left For Me" can be seen here:

It is with great pleasure that Century Media announces the worldwide signing of Swedish progenitors, VILDHJARTA! One of the most respected bands in the scene today, VILDHJARTA mixes ambient, peaceful moments with brutal and dark music to create some of the most awe inspiring and unique musical output in modern metal.

After years of courting, VILDHJARTA now joins forces with metal label giant Century Media and will be unleashing a new full length in the coming months. The band had this to say in regards to the singing:

"THALL"

7 HORNS 7 EYES are one of the most talented and engaging bands to hit the metal scene in quite some time. Combining the technical ferocity of Meshuggah with the deep, grisly growls reminiscent of Mikael Akerfeldt and the dark atmospheric elements of Katatonia, 7 HORNS 7 EYES has developed the skills to electrify the younger scene while still maintaining the brutality and musical prowess to appeal to traditional metal fans as well. Now, Century Media Records is excited to announce that a multi-album deal has been signed and will see a Fall release of 7 HORNS 7 EYES' debut full-length, 'Throes of Absolution'. The European release will be handled by Basick Records.

'Throes of Absolution' features a guest appearance by Jeff Loomis (NEVERMORE) and will see the band touring heavily in support of the record. Fans will have their first shot to see the gargantuan stage show of 7 HORNS 7 EYES at the Official Pre-Party on April 19th at the Revolver Magazine Golden GodsKey Club in Los Angeles. The band will support Winds of Plague along with As Blood Runs Black, The Devastated and Suffer Well. More information regarding 7 HORNS 7 EYES and 'Throes of Absolution' will be released in the coming weeks.

Music Review: Bring Me the Horizon New Single "It Never Ends" By Natalie Perez:

"Six years have passed since their formation in 2004 and Bring Me the Horizon cease to amuse me. Since the release of their newest single 'It Never Ends', off their upcoming third album release There Is a Hell, Believe Me I've Seen It. There Is a Heaven, Let's Keep It a Secret, due out on October 4th via Visible Noise Records, the band has managed to go in a whole another direction". READ FULL REVIEW
