Mark Morton Talks Chester Bennington, Solo Album Without The Pain & Lamb Of God's Future On The Loaded Radio Podcast TL;DR: Lamb Of God guitarist Mark Morton joins the Loaded Radio Podcast to talk about his soulful new solo album Without The Pain, collaborating with late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, the creative process in Lamb Of God, and his honest thoughts on both current and former bandmates. Mark Morton Unleashes His Blues-Driven Side With Without The Pain Mark Morton isn't just the riff-slinging guitar beast from Lamb Of God. On this week's episode of the Loaded Radio Podcast, the guitarist pulls back the curtain on his newest solo release Without The Pain, a record steeped in blues, southern rock, and emotional depth. Released via Rise Records, Without The Pain features a diverse lineup of guests, including Cody Jinks, Neil Fallon (Clutch), Grace Bowers, Jason Isbell, Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke), and Jaren Johnston (The Cadillac Three). It's a sharp turn from the punishing rhythms of Lamb Of God, yet unmistakably Mark Morton. During the podcast, Morton explains how the album was years in the making, allowing him to fully explore the stylistic roots that shaped his musical identity long before he ever set foot on a metal stage.  Collaborating With Chester Bennington: The Story Behind “Cross Off” One of the most emotionally resonant points of the podcast is Morton's reflection on working with late Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington. The two teamed up on “Cross Off,” a standout track from Morton's 2019 debut solo album Anesthetic. Morton opens up about the power of that collaboration — how Bennington brought a raw intensity to the track, and how the session still resonates with him today. Lamb Of God, Sobriety, And Looking Forward Of course, no conversation with Mark Morton is complete without diving into Lamb Of God. In this episode, he shares honest reflections on the band's internal dynamics — both past and present. Morton touches on his long journey with sobriety, how it's impacted his creative process, and how the band's chemistry continues to evolve after more than two decades of making heavy music together. Morton also hints at what's ahead for Lamb Of God, suggesting that while his solo work is a vital creative outlet, there's plenty of fuel left in the fire when it comes to the band's future output. Listen To The Full Interview Want to hear Mark Morton discuss songwriting secrets, guest collaborations, Lamb Of God's legacy, and his love of southern blues? Hit play on the podcast episode below and get the full story straight from the man himself. FAQ Q: What is Without The Pain by Mark Morton? A: It's Mark Morton's second solo album, exploring blues and southern rock influences with a range of guest musicians. Q: Who features on Without The Pain? A: The album includes appearances by Cody Jinks, Neil Fallon, Grace Bowers, Jason Isbell, Jaren Johnston, and more. Q: Did Mark Morton work with Chester Bennington? A: Yes, on the track “Cross Off” from his first solo album Anesthetic in 2019. Q: Is Mark Morton still in Lamb Of God? A: Absolutely. Morton continues to be a key creative force in Lamb Of God while exploring other musical avenues through solo work. Q: What did he say about Chris Adler? A: Morton remains reluctant to discuss the former Lamb Of God drummer and the reasons behind his departure. Mark Morton Bio Mark Morton is the longtime lead guitarist for the Grammy-nominated groove metal band Lamb Of God. Known for his tight, aggressive riffing and technical solos, Morton has been a core part of the band since its early days as Burn the Priest. Outside of Lamb Of God, Mark has carved out a distinct solo identity that explores blues, southern rock, and deeply personal themes. His 2019 debut solo album Anesthetic featured collaborations with artists like Chester Bennington and Jacoby Shaddix, while his 2025 release Without The Pain leans further into heartfelt, roots-driven territory. Morton is also open about his sobriety and personal growth, often using music as a vehicle for emotional expression. He remains one of heavy metal's most versatile and thoughtful guitarists.

In the latest episode of the You Make The Scene podcast, I had a great conversation with Salem Vex, the creative mind behind the band CRUCIFICTION. We covered a wide range of topics, starting with his transition from his previous band/project, Bloodbather, to this fresh and exciting venture with CRUCIFICTION. Salem shared the challenges and the excitement of stepping into a new chapter and how that has influenced the writing and sound for CRUCIFICTION's upcoming album, "Will To Power", which is set to release on October 11th via Rise Records.A key highlight of our conversation was Salem's unique approach to crafting conceptual albums. He discussed how he begins writing in the middle of the story, allowing the natural progression to lead him toward both the beginning and the end. This unconventional method not only brings a dynamic structure to the album but also adds a cinematic, non-linear arc to the overall narrative. Salem gave us a deeper look into the themes and emotional depth of "Will To Power", offering insight into the album's powerful message and what fans can expect from this new chapter of his artistic journey.We also explored the intricacies of songwriting, the importance of authenticity in his music, and the transition into this new project after Bloodbather.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Keith Wallen over Zoom video!BREAKING BENJAMIN guitarist KEITH WALLEN will drop his latest solo album Infinity Now on May 3 via Rise Records.Wallen has shared the video for "The Wolf”. "'The Wolf' is a song and a concept that I felt a lot of us can identify with," Wallen says. "We've all known those people that for whatever reason we just can't break ourselves away from them. An addiction on every level, all the while knowing it's a toxic situation. You break all those promises to yourself that you'll stay away, but ultimately there you are again."Commenting on the video, he shares, "The video for 'The Wolf' was shot in a beautiful house in south Nashville. Directed by Courtney Dellafiora, we wanted an intimate look and setting that was reminiscent of waking from a dream in the middle of the night, and then grabbing the guitar and playing the song. The most exciting thing of all with getting to work with 'Bane,' the real live wolf actor and his amazing training staff for the shoot! That was a first for me, and I couldn't be happier how the video turned out."ABOUT KEITH WALLEN:Keith Wallen is a prolific songwriter responsible for soaring melodies and hypnotic hooks heard across modern rock radio. The West Virginia-born troubadour uses his solo work as a vehicle to explore his multifaceted passions, moving seamlessly from the smart pop of '80s favorites like The Police and Depeche Mode to the big moody riffs of '90s grunge heroes like Alice In Chains, Soundgarden, and Stone Temple Pilots. His co-writing collaborations include compositions with Saint Asonia, Fuel, We Came As Romans, Red, Dorothy, and Korn guitarist Brian "Head" Welch's Love And Death. Wallen bares his soul as a solo artist with earnest resolve, powering his honest anthems with commanding vocals. A former member of Adelitas Way, Keith was among his first calls when Benjamin Burnley decided to reform and reconfigure his band. Dark Before Dawn, Breaking Benjamin's powerhouse comeback, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Ember followed in 2018.Keith's self-produced acoustic and piano-driven Allies EP arrived in 2014. His debut solo album, 2021'sThis World Or The Next, featured "Dream Away," a song streamed 1.4M times on Spotify alone. His second solo album, Infinity Now, includes production and co-writing contributions from Kevin Thrasher (RIVALS, Jelly Roll) and work with Dan Braunstein (Spiritbox, Dayseeker) and Andrew Baylis (Sleeping With Sirens, Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert).Produced by Kevin Thrasher (Jelly Roll, RIVALS) and mixed by Joel Wanasek (Rain City Drive, Scott Stapp), Keith's sophomore solo album, Infinity Now, extends a warm invitation into the singer/songwriter's heart and mind. Hard rock bombast meets intimate pensiveness via engaging songs like "Blackout," "Strings," and first single, "Headspace Holiday."As guitarist for Breaking Benjamin, a solo artist or songwriting collaborator, the common threads through Keith Wallen's work are honesty, authenticity, and heartfelt spirit.We want to hear from you!

A midyear report by US market monitor Luminate—the same company behind the Billboard charts—has revealed the alarming fact that “new”/”current” music is becoming less popular in the country, and this statement can be backed up by facts and statistics, as first reported by Music Business Worldwide. In the first half of 2022, Total Album Consumption (all streams and downloads, as well as physical album sales) of “Current” music (which means released in the 18 months before being streamed or purchased) dropped by 1.4% when compared to 2021. With 131.3 million album sale-equivalent units reported for this year, “Current” music dropped almost 2 million units from the first half of 2021, which means that new music is not only selling less but is also being less popular in terms of streaming platforms. There was a drop of 3.7 between 2020 and 2021, which officially makes this a downward trend. This tendency is opposed to the Total Album Consumption for “All” music in the US, which grew by 9.3% in comparison with 2021, standing at 475.4 million units sold. Even more surprising is the news that “Catalog” music, which includes any release older than 18 months, grew by 14% in the year's first half. The report also found that “Current” music's on-demand audio streams dropped by 2.6% this year, with an even more drastic decrease of 10.4% in video streaming platforms versus a 19% increase by “Catalog” music. In his latest update, Music Biz host James Shotwell examines the possible contributing factors to our declining interest in current music. As he touches on the inherent lucrative nature of legacy acts, he also ponders who—if anyone—will become the next generation of “timeless” musicians.

Jesse Rhys Cannon on the Virtual Sessions presented by The DJ Sessions 6/22/22   About Jesse Rhys Cannon -   I somehow got my first work being paid in the music business when I was 15. Since then I've managed to work in nearly every facet of the music business. If a stranger happens to know who I am, they usually know me from being lucky enough to have worked on records in various capacities with bands like The Cure, Animal Collective, The Misfits, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Brand New, Limp Bizkit, Man Overboard, Somos, Basement, Kevin Devine, Weird Al Yankovic, NOFX and The Menzingers.    I'm also known for writing the book Get More Fans: The DIY Guide To The New Music Business, which has gone on to be one of the most popular books on the music business as well as the best selling book on creativity in music Processing Creativity: The Tools, Practices And Habits Used To Make Music You're Happy With. I also host two podcasts, Off The Record and Noise Creators and write articles on the music business for various sites like Alternative Press and Party Smasher Inc. along with a handful of others.   But that doesn't explain how I got to do all of that and that's what I'm supposed to explain here. When I was 15 I started to get paid for doing live sound at concerts and spoken word events. Two years later, a hilarious and fun guy by the name of Stork liked my mixes and invited me to engineer live performances at the world-renowned freeform radio station WFMU. There I was lucky enough to work for 9 years recording acts like The Magnetic Fields, Spoon, The Sea and The Cake, Olivia Tremor Control and a couple hundred others. Because of this I started doing live sound at local clubs The Pipeline and Connections. In time, I started booking shows for the company that booked those clubs and the legendary Coney Island High in NYC. Somewhere in this time I got my first credit on a record singing back up vocals on a song with Joey & Dee Dee Ramone, which I still question if I've ever topped.    Those jobs gave me enough courage to put on my own concerts, and be crazy enough to think I knew what I was doing enough to start recording local bands. But all of this would happen at night, so I needed a day job. I then started working at my local punk record store (Let It Rock), which then qualified me to work at Soapbox Records on St. Marks Place in NYC. This was great since it also housed esteemed indie label Go-Kart Records where I ran the record store and did publicity. While I love marketing, PR is way too social for me and I preferred talking to creative people instead of cranky zine editors. I was also writing for the esteemed zines of the day like Tape Op, Punk Planet and Maximum RockNRoll. So I decided to stop doing live sound and working at record labels in order to focus on record production. My boss at Go Kart was kind enough to give me a recommendation to Alan Douches at West West Side Music, who happens to be the engineer with the most credits in all of music history.   At West West Side I got to learn how to engineer and master from the best in the business. Not only did I get to work under Alan's amazing talent, the best producers in the business were coming by every day (J. Robbins, John Agnello, Brian McTernan) as well as the coolest bands around seemed to walk in the door every day (Fatboy Slim, Fall Out Boy, LCD Soundsystem, Brand New). In that time, I met Steve Evetts (one of my favorite producers growing up) and got to work with him on great records by The Dillinger Escape Plan, Senses Fail, Saves The Day and Say Anything. He then brought me to work with Ross Robinson (my other favorite producer growing up) and I got to work with The Cure & Limp Bizkit among others under him.   While all that was happening, two other significant parts of the story happened. I harnessed my own production skills and they became so in demand I started my own studio Cannon Found Soundation, which I still run to this day working with hundreds of bands a year. In that time these two interests collided and I decided to start a blog on the things other blogs weren't writing about in music and wanted to show all the secrets being hidden since that's the most punk thing you can do and punk is the closest thing I have to a religion.   This blog became Musformation, a blog I continued through 2015, when I decided to diversify my writing across sites with bigger audiences. The blog's music business articles seemed to be very popular and really resonated, so I decided to go with it. I started helping and then managing the two most promising bands I was producing — Man Overboard and Transit, so I could experiment with the ideas I was writing about. These ideas turned out to be right and both signed with one of the biggest indies in the world (Rise Records) and built massive fan bases under my watch.   That was fun and all, but managing and producing records full-time do not mix. So those bands went their way and I kept producing records. A lot of bands asked me to manage them, but I like sleep and hate stress so I decided against that option. I instead put out my book Get More Fans, so every band could learn everything I did working with them and researching the new music business. Because of that book I got a reputation for knowing music tech, which led me to getting approached to do the podcast, Off The Record and form Noise Creators, a service I co-founded that helps connect musicians with the best producers in music today. I now host Atlantic Records Inside The Album where I make audio documentaries on the creative processes of some of the best artists in music like Dashboard Confessional, nothing.nowhere, Jason Mraz and Vance Joy.    In 2017 I released Processing Creativity to much praise, I am presently working on a bunch of conversations I want to have on how we change the way people create music to reflect when creative science says enhances creativity. I am trying to change the way records are made and always looking for bands who are interested in doing something new and interesting. I am presently producing, mixing and mastering records 7 days a week and developing a documentary.   In 2019 I relaunched Musformation as a YouTube channel to start distributing the knowledge I've acquired to a new audience. As well I relaunched MusforMGMT where I am handling marketing and label services to established artists.   In 2020 I took on production duties for the hit podcast The Daily Beast's The New Abnormal as well as their other fantastic podcasts Fever Dreams & The Last Laugh. In 2021 I opened Podstream Studios a live streaming & podcast studio in the heart of Times Square as well as Brooklyn Recording Paradise Brooklyn's most enjoyable recording environment.   About The DJ Sessions - “The DJ Sessions” is a Twitch/Mixcloud "Featured Partner” live streaming/podcast series featuring electronic music DJ's/Producers via live mixes/interviews and streamed/distributed to a global audience.

Every life is unique, but there are only so many relatable experiences that can be mass-marketed through song. That's why there are so many love songs and an equally large amount of heartbreak anthems. The same goes for songs about realizing life is short, mourning the dead, aspiring to better oneself, and of course, the timeless desire to flee one's hometown and chase big-city dreams. Your story is unique, but you have to know how to sell your story for tastemakers to understand that. Each day, in offices and remote workspaces around the globe, playlist curators and industry gatekeepers sift through countless songs from artists hoping they'll give them one of the very limited spaces available on editorial playlists. Certain tastemakers who specialize in things like mood-themed playlists may hear upwards of one hundred or more tracks with a similar theme or story in a single day. If you want to be the ONE song that stands out from the competition, there are two factors you have to nail: The song needs to be GOOD. Obviously. You need to sell the heck out of that song. Part one is up to you. As for part two: The only thing separating your story of wanting to leave home and every other dreamer is in the way you sell it to someone else. Start by breaking your song down to the simplest description possible. "My song is about growing up in a small town and waiting to escape." Great! We have a relatable perspective that millions, even billions, can easily recognize. The only problem is—everyone has a song about wanting to leave your hometown. If you want to attract playlist curators, tastemakers, or anyone at all, you need to be more specific. Let's start with the "why" of it all. WHY do you want to leave your hometown? "My song is about growing up in a small town and waiting to escape because I have big dreams." That's better. You've narrowed the target audience slightly, but you've also gotten closer to your true market. Let's add another detail, perhaps explore WHAT made us want to leave our hometown. Was it our family, the community, or something more existential? Maybe it's all three! "My song is about growing up in a conservative small town and how nobody, not even my family members, can relate to your ambitions of a life outside the village limits." The significance of your song and your perspective on life increases exponentially with each detail we add to our story. Those same details attract the gatekeepers of entertainment and inspire countless passive listeners to seek out more of your music. With a little effort, our song about growing up in a small town and waiting to escape can be sold as an epic tale of wanderlust and misadventure inspired by unfortunate yet relatable circumstances. "My song is about growing up in a conservative small town and how nobody, not even my family members, can relate to your ambitions of a life outside the village limits. It's about taking advantage of the opportunities presented to you and exploring them. Sometimes we will fail, but that's okay because failure is part of the journey. What's more important, to me, is that we try in the first place."

⚡️Our first IN PERSON interview since March 2020! ⚡️We had the pleasure of interviewing Matty Mullins of Memphis May Fire over Zoom video!Memphis May Fire makes anthems for the broken. The four-piece rock band channel a generation's worth of angst, frustration, and pain, with a focused blend of gigantic melodic hooks and crushing aggression. Even after topping Billboard's Hard Music Albums chart and breaking into radio's Active Rock Top 20, Memphis May Fire refuses to sacrifice who they are or the people who made them. In fact, Remade in Misery, their seventh full-length album, is the heaviest Memphis May Fire record yet.It is the first Memphis May Fire album to be both produced and mixed by Kellen McGregor, the band's guitarist who co-founded the group roughly 15 years ago. The longtime rhythm section of bassist Cory Elder and drummer Jake Garland inject the songs with infinite depth and focus. Cameron Mizell, who coproduced 2014 fan-favorite Unconditional with McGregor, produced Matty's vocals.Mullins enlisted his friend Cody Quistad, guitarist and clean vocalist for the band Wage War, during part of the writing process. Fire From The Gods singer AJ Channer guests on “Only Human.” At the heart of any collaboration is the Memphis May Fire mission: to connect with the brokenhearted.The guys are family to the million-plus fans who follow Memphis May Fire on social media, revered by the people who discovered their early albums in 2009 and 2011; those who made Challenger (2012) the biggest selling debut in the history of Rise Records at the time; and everyone who championed their music since. Unconditional debuted at Number One on Billboard's Rock, Independent, and Hard Music charts. In 2016, This Light I Hold made inroads into radio while rooted in heaviness. Boasting the singles “The Old Me,” “Live Another Day,” and “Heavy is the Weight,” Broken was a distillation of what the band does creatively, with the group's signature passion and fearless genre-bending.Remade in Misery is the sum total of all that's come before with a forceful charge into the future.We want to hear from you!

If you are listening outside of Spotify, we highly recommend visiting our YouTube channel for the full experience. http://youtube.com/musicbiz** TikTok has been celebrated as a revolutionary platform for music discovery and fan engagement. The video-sharing app has already helped over a hundred artists land on the Billboard charts, and it has made several more household names. In less than five years, TikTok has become one of the—if not the most—influential platform for artists looking to raise awareness for their talent worldwide. But there's a catch. There's ALWAYS a catch. When TikTok ushered in a new way for musicians to market themselves, the company unintentionally broke music marketing. It didn't happen overnight, and it wasn't intentional, but TikTok has created a space where the lines between fact and fiction blur in ways never previously thought possible. Users now question the legitimacy of everything, the good and the bad, which makes getting any message across increasingly difficult. In his latest video, Music Biz host James Shotwell examines how we reached this point and what actions artists should take in response. Through numerous examples, James explains how misdirection and deception have fueled an age of discovery where every success story has another, often far less surprising, truth behind it.

When I was beginning my career, my grandfather offered me advice that I carry to this day. “Wherever there are dreamers,” he told me, “there will be people looking to make a quick buck by exploiting that dream.” He knew scam artists were everywhere, but I'm not sure even my grandfather understood how prevalent such tricksters would be in 2022. Every artist with an online presence has encountered a scammer. Maybe they posed as a fan to get friendly before trying to sell them special services, or perhaps they're pretending to be a major record label exec. Either way, scammers are everywhere, and they target the hungriest artists because they know desperate people rarely think things through. Ever since our first article on scam artists, musicians worldwide have contacted us regarding direct messages, emails, phone calls, and even business cards they've received from people they felt were trying to scam them. More often than not, those concerns were later validated when we uncovered the truth behind the false goods these individuals were promising. We are still receiving messages from concerned artists. One musician, Jamal, even sent us screenshots and an in-depth description of their interactions with a scammer. We asked for permission to share their experiences with you, and thankfully, they agreed. Music Biz host James Shotwell shares a step-by-step guide to understanding how scammers operate on social media in the video below.

Two years and several vaccine shots later, however, Slater is riding high on a wave of positive press from the release of her first EP. She's become one of the most sought-after new stars of alternative music, and she's done so largely from the comfort of her home. Sitting in the center of a Venn diagram consisting of rock, pop, and alternative music, Slater draws influence from every corner of pop culture. She would probably tell you her home lies in the hearts of anyone who dreams of Vans Warped Tour returning, but I'd argue she's not that easy to classify. Slater may sell herself as alt, but she's a storyteller above all else, and her knack for engaging songwriting is making her a household name. But getting to this point was never easy. Many artists launched projects during the pandemic. Most of those efforts came and went without much fuss if they ever got released at all. Consumers were overwhelmed by the amount of content promoted to them, not to mention their worries over the global pandemic, and most couldn't find the time or mental space to care about music discovery. But Ali Slater made people care. By utilizing skills she gained through working in the beauty field, Slater could maneuver social media with ease, which was helpful during a time when everyone was stuck at home on their phones. The world is opening up now, and Slater is preparing to meet her fans face-to-face, many for the first time. In our latest ‘Fast Five' interview, Music Biz host James Shotwell chats with Ali Slater about her quick rise through the alternative ranks. Slater explains her approach to marketing, how paid advertising helped her gain fans early on, and how she's pivoting her promotional efforts as the world reopens.

Music Discovery: The Uncomfortable Truths

Visit http://haulix.com/signup for details. In 2022, there are more ways to discover music than ever. Listeners can utilize multiple streaming platforms, dive into artists' playlists, enjoy algorithmic internet radio, find songs playing in public via Shazam, and—as always—exchange mixes with their closest friends. That doesn't account for countless music blogs and publications, charts, and other social metrics one could use to learn who is hot in entertainment right now. As the avenues for music discovery have increased and the barriers to accessing music decreased, the number of artists vying for your attention has reached an all-time high. That in itself isn't bad. Everyone who desires to make and promote music should be able to do so easily. However, the impact of that demand for attention on consumers is something we still don't fully understand. Think about it for a second. As a consumer, you always want to find the next great thing. It's instinctual. We cannot help being this way. It doesn't matter if we're discussing restaurants or bathroom cleaners; people want the best. The same is true in music. We love the artists we love and have preferences, but a part of us is always looking for the next song or album or person or group that can make us feel alive all over again. So, consumers want the next thing great song or artist as fast as possible, and more artists than ever are promoting more songs than ever to meet that demand. What could go wrong? In short, burnout. On both ends. Artists are becoming so conditioned to the constant churn of the modern industry that they abandon material almost as soon as it is released. It's as if the three-to-six-month promotional cycle that precedes an album's release is the only push the songs will receive outside of the artist's subsequent touring. When those shows end, they will release more music, and it too will be largely forgotten in a few months. Meanwhile, listeners look to playlists such as Spotify's New Music Friday and Discover Weekly as the go-to destinations for new music. If an artist doesn't make it into one of the very limited spots on this list, they have to hope an influencer with a decent playlist following or a massive brand uses their song. Otherwise, it's up to fate and luck and whatever good word-of-mouth that artist has been able to build. But that is an incomplete picture of discovery. Music discovery extends far beyond release week. The long tail of music promotion is never-ending, and the proof is everywhere. Catalog streams are on the rise, as are catalog sales. Industry professionals realize that all material has value in the digital age, and they are scrambling to find ways to promote the content they'd previously left to rust. Before you fall victim to thinking your opportunity to be discovered has already come and gone, please remember these five cold hard truths about music discovery.

Ahead of their third studio album, Stone Broken chats with Haulix about the secret to successful rock promotion in 2022. Let's face it: The rock marketplace is in a weird place. Never in the history of the genre have there been so many artists with countless unique takes on rock competing for the finite attention of listeners. It is both the best and worst of times because you can never listen to everything worth hearing, but that's not even the worst part. Before worrying about scaling the rock hierarchy, artists must first find a marketing angle that works. Marketing is everything. That has always been the case, but it feels more important than ever in 2022. The demand for consumer attention is endless, and your budget for fighting alongside every IP and musician on Earth is limited. You have to find a path to success that doesn't waste time or break the bank, and you have to do so while also attempting to make the best music of your career. Not that there is any pressure or anything. The amount of great rock music available now vastly outnumbers the finite amount of time listeners have to experience it. The only way forward is through finding your audience and catering to them. It's not an easy feat to accomplish, but one that is well worth the effort. In the latest Fast Five interview, Music Biz host James Shotwell chats with UK rock band Stone Broken about how a constantly shifting marketing strategy has led to long-term success. The band's third studio album, Revelation, arrives on April 15, 2022, through Spinefarm Records. Music Biz is brought to you by Haulix, the music industry's leading promotional distribution platform.

How Undeath Is Resurrecting American Death Metal

Undeath vocalist Alex Jones appears in the latest Music Biz ‘Fast Five' interview to discuss music promotion, branding, and more. When was the last time you heard people talking about death metal? I don't mean you and your friends hanging around chatting. I'm asking when, if ever, you can recall hearing death metal disgust in the wild? The genre has been around for decades, yet I'm willing to bet you don't often hear it discussed. American death metal is in the midst of a revival, unlike anything the genre has seen in decades. Determining why this is happening or how it came to be is anyone's guess, but there is a new wave of fans and musicians fiercely passionate about music, art, and everything in between. These individuals and groups are ushering in a new era of death metal that is more inclusive, exciting, and fun. It's serious music that doesn't always take itself too seriously, and perhaps no group better personifies this idea right now than New York band Undeath. After bursting onto the international stage with 2020's Lesions Of A Different Kind, Undeath quickly ascended through the metal underground with propulsive jams that expertly blend ultraviolent lyricism with equally brutal musicianship. The band toured as much as the pandemic allowed but spent most of their time crafting the material to carry them into the next chapter of their career. That album, It's Time…To Rise From The Grave, hits shelves this April with a cacophony of heavy themes and sounds sure to please and disturb in equal measure. It's a fitting continuation for Undeath and one that leaves plenty of room for the band to explore on future releases. In this Music Biz update, host James Shotwell chats with Undeath vocalist Alex Jones for the latest edition of our ‘Fast Five' interview series. Jones speaks about music promotion, artist branding, merchandising, and more as a timer counts down. There's even some discussion about the state of death metal today.

Tenacity. It's something that describes the talented Brandon Elgar. No matter the scenario, he's ready to take advantage of any opportunity, even if it means transitioning into the main vocalist for a band that's trending on the rise. The frontman of Jersey-based post-hardcore outfit Palisades talks about his long journey within the band that has been through trials, tribulations, losses, and victories. The band has also seen lineup changes throughout the years, which, at the same time, included performing at notable festivals such as Download, Rock Am Ring, and the upcoming So What?! Festival in Dallas, TX. The biggest change, however, is when the previous vocalist Lou Miceli left the band which opened the door for Brandon to take center stage (literally). Previously the band's bassist, Brandon mentions how the chemistry has always been the same regardless of losing a band member. It proves an example of how tight he and his other bandmates have kept their musicality. The new version of Palisades is not only the most mature offering the band is putting on display but also the most complete. The new album, “Reaching Hypercritical,” is a chapter that is shaping up to be the best yet. The past few years have changed them as people, but also have changed what Palisades' music has stood for, and for the better. The themes of the new record touch on mental health, anxiety, and dissociative disorders. At a time like today, it will strike a chord of positivity in the fans and listeners. Brandon has been thankful of his experiences and couldn't be more appreciative to continue composing the music he loves so much. Tune in now to our interview with Brandon, and be sure to buy and stream “Reaching Hypercritical”, due out July 22 via Rise Records.Stay connected with Palisades, visit: https://wearepalisades.com/, https://www.instagram.com/wearepalisades/ and https://www.facebook.com/WeArePalisadesStay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

The new EP, titled “The Lowest From Of Animal,” serves as one of the more intense 15-minute offerings that the band has released. Isaac takes us through the draft process within the production, and how the compositions of songs differ for him from his bandmates. We also asked him about the time that movie star Kate Beckinsale shared their song on her Instagram story (WHAT?!)– which definitely turned a lot of heads in their direction. Whatever the case may be, this is Kublai Khan's year, and with the new EP out, it's only a matter of time that things get rolling for their next full length. And finally, Isaac takes a moment to appreciate his love for drumming, while looking back on other notable drummers in the industry who influenced him into who he is today.

If you've spent any time on YouTube, you've undoubtedly seen the hordes of reaction channels that exist in response to virtually any product or piece of entertainment you can name. Some channels review beauty products, and others cover toys. Some even cover music, which we're going to talk about today. Music reaction and reviews channels are, by and large, all the same. From one to five people (or more) gather in front of a camera while enjoying a notable artist's latest song/video. If it's a reaction, the people on camera consume the song/video in real-time while capturing their response. Hearing/seeing the music is far less likely if it's strictly a review, but the commentary remains. A short time ago, Pedro Almeida sought a way to connect with his teenage son. A lifelong fan of metal, Pedro believed his son could similarly benefit from the genre, and together the pair launched an unassuming YouTube channel called A&P Reacts. A couple of years and hundreds of heavy metal reviews later, the channel boasts more than 76,000 subscribers and has yet to monetize. For them, it's all about the music and the togetherness. Everything else is a distant second. Now, the father-son duo is gearing up for their biggest adventure yet. In the coming month, Pedro and his son will be headed to Iceland to judge a battle of the bands in connection with the Wacken Music Festival. This is the second time the team has traveled internationally because of their channel, and we have a feeling it won't be the last. In the latest edition of our ‘Fast Five' interview series, Music Biz host James Shotwell chats with Pedro Almeida about his channel, its growth, and where he sees reaction channels going in the future. Pedro's goals for his videos are among the purest we've heard, but make no mistake—The Almeidas plan to see how big their channel can become.

On today's edition of "Flashback Friday's", I highlight a record that came out in the year 2017. The record I have chosen for this week comes from The Movielife and it's called "Cities In Search of A Heart". The Movielife is a Long Island punk rock band composed of vocalist Vinnie Caruana, guitarist Brandon Reilly, and drummer Brett Romnes. The band originally formed in 1997 and disbanded in 2003, but announced their official reunion in December 2014. Caruana and Reilly re-connected as friends and shortly afterwards began talking about a potential the Movielife reunion. The band subsequently began rehearsing in December 2014, performing their first shows since 2011 in New York City at Irving Plaza in February 2015. Asked whether a new album would be released, Caruana said he would "never rule that out". The Movielife performed several additional shows in the US later in the year, including an appearance at Today's Mixtape Festival, as well as a tour of the UK in June. In March 2016, Caruana revealed that the band were in the process of writing new material. The following month, the band released "Future Feeling (Afraid of Drugs)" as a single. In 2017, the group performed at Slam Dunk Festival in the UK. All promotional materials posted to the band's Twitter after the 2016 Presidential election feature only Brett Romnes, Brandon and Vinnie, implying they are the only current members of the band. The band's fourth album, Cities in Search of a Heart was released in September 2017 through Rise Records. In May and June 2018, the band supported New Found Glory on their Sick Tour in the US.

With a decade of technical death metal under their belt, including several massive concept albums, the group has established a pocket in the metal community where they alone reside. Their fans are open to whatever wild ideas and experimentation the group wish to utilize, and they're patient with the creative process. It doesn't matter if the group takes one year to write a record or three. Rivers Of Nihil fans will wait because they know the final product will be great. Rivers Of Nihil will release their long-awaited new album, The Work, on September 24. The ambitious LP explores the necessary regimen behind progress. The album is about doing 'the work' of being an artist in a very literal sense. There is no finish line or mountain top for a group such as Rivers Of Nihil, and their sole mission is to continue excavating the depths of their creativity until they die or run out of ideas. It's an endless pursuit for a group that is nothing more than a constant work in progress, and they wouldn't want it any other way. On this episode of Inside Music, host James Shotwell visits Rivers Of Nihil during a recent tour stop in West Michigan. Bassist Adam Biggs opens up about doing 'The Work,' returning to the road, and how songwriting works within the band. Biggs shares insight into how Rivers Of Nihil approach concept record, as well as the lessons he's learned trying to promote a unique sound in a cluttered music market.
