Veteran Swedish metallers TAD MOROSE have released a new video for the song “I Am Night”, taken from the band’s tenth album, titled Chapter X, which was released on June 15 via GMR Music. Chapter X opens with the powerful “Apocalypse”, a semi-proggy, symphonic melodic metal tune loaded with a chorus that kicks the listener in the ass while “Deprived Of Light” is straight-up double bass melodic power metal with a stench of ’80s Germany yet very modern at the same time. “I Am Night” is a fist to the face with a chorus that screams for an audience sing-along and album closer, “… Yet Still You Preach” calms things down with an atmospheric feel. Watch the video below.

One of the most promising and active formations of the Hard Rock / Heavy Metal scene, the Italian SISKA, band of the six-string virtuoso Mattia Sisca, guitarist who played with Blaze Bayley (Iron Maiden) in Brazil and Europe, Dennis Stratton (Iron Maiden), Michael Angelo Batio (US shredder), and Jennifer Batten (Michael Jackson) has been signed by Big Tuna Records.

A musical project, SISKA, that made a tour in South America together with Tim “Ripper” Owens (Judas Priest, Yngwie Malmsteen), and played as shoulder group of the legend of world rock SKID ROW, and soon in concert at the Roman Arena in Bucharest on 6 July together with CHILDREN OF BODOM, SONATA ARCTICA, EPICA, and SOULFLY. SISKA‘s album, titled Romantic Dark & Violent, will have worldwide distribution in vinyls and CDs and will be available starting from July 13th 2018 in stores and on all the most important digital platforms.

FALLING IN REVERSE released the standalone single “Losing My Mind” earlier this year. It was a sonic triumph for a band that constantly thrills its fans with unpredictable musical left turns, accompanied by a neon-tinged, rebellious, and futuristic video. It racked up nearly 7 million views and nearly 3 million streams since its release. The band has followed with the frenetic sequel — “Losing My Life.” Watch the video below
