Following a year highlighted by postponed tours and the tragedy of living through a global pandemic, North Carolina, USA groove metal warriors WoR announced this past June that they recruited new drummer Dylan Jenkins after parting ways with Hunter Crews.

With upcoming performances at Metal In The Mountains on Aug 28th in Pipestem, West Virginia and Blue Ridge Rock Festival on September 11th in Danville, Virginia plus tour dates in October with Battlecross and The Convalescence, the band entered a hunting cabin in the middle of the Appalachian Mountains in Asheville, NC to rehearse their set with new W.O.R. member Jenkins who has put his own spin on some of the older material and injected it with new life.

Perfectly titled "The Asheville Sessions", the first video from a series of more to be revealed, WoR presents "Hiraeth", which can be viewed at - https://youtu.be/J-NRDd81lqo 

The band comments:

"During the pandemic, we spent a lot of time behind closed doors working on refining our craft. We worked on old music and wrote a bunch of new music. We decided to film one of these sessions, isolated in a hunting cabin in the Appalachian Mountains, away from the chaos of everyday life. Just the 5 of us jamming".

Throwing in elements of thrash, metalcore, and even hardcore punk, everyone in WoR has taken a different musical path and the variety of influences shows through in the unique and original sound on their debut release "Prisoners", which is an extremely energetic journey from start to finish. Groovy, raw, and old school, WoR is suitable for all fans of metal especially those with an interest in Machine Head, Sepultura, and Gojira.

"Prisoners" (released Aug 7, 2020) is available on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon, Google Play.

REVIEW Promotional Cd Area Sismica volume 4

  I received a rock and metal compilation called Area Sismica volume 4 in CD format from Italy and promoted by Mirko DeFox, producer and promoter with his various activities.. I am a big fan of such initiatives, compilations in general. Although they seem to be a medium of the past and are losing their relevance. Due to lack of time I do not like to surf the vast, endless expanse of the world wide web. Now, about the musical content. How can I handle it? Mentioning some biographical notes on each of these thirteen bands would make this review a horrible reading material. Especially since they all lie within the boundaries (or lack thereof) of rock and metal. Each of these acts has a certain something to distinguish themselves from the others. Some of them strive to reach traditional hard rock, some even dive into the extremes of heavy metal, while a number of acts here simply follow the examples set long ago by the legends of the genre. There are also a couple of truly origina...

The Dood - 13 new video

The D.O.O.D. is a nationally touring theatrical heavy metal band out of Sarasota, Florida. Their 5th studio album "Firefly", produced by the Legendary Matt Laplant (Soil, Skindred, Nonpoint etc). They have graced the stages of many a venue in America with their horror circus brand of theatrics and hard-hitting music. Originally formed by Raynus and Jonzey DOOD, their music is high energy, thought provoking, and fun.  They are often cited as having notes of traditional metal, akin to Pantera and such, NUmetal, Mushroomhead/Slipknot, as well as a classical metal feel with a little industrial thrown in for good measure as well. The D.O.O.D. Is currently endorsed by Sinister Guitar Picks. Check out these videos! https://youtu.be/V4MZwYL-B3g Check them out on Spotify and add them to your playlists! https://open.spotify.com/track/26pXekgffbwG5gpVLstGnP THE D.O.O.D. is Brian "Monkeyboy" DOOD Vocals Raynus DOOD Guitars Jonzey DOOD Bass India...
