Erica: This video takes a wild and shocking path of endless twists and turns. Various old school scenes from television commercials are speckled between flashes of the band members. The beginning calls to awaken you from your mindless wandering, whereas the end points towards death instead, making this a wild ride from start to finish.
Alison: As the first single and music video to their upcoming record 'Amo' we have much to anticipate from Bring Me The Horizon. When might you predict the release of a second single or music video? Visit their 2018 & 2019 tour dates below!

FAME Studio has done it again! Thursday August 30th, 2018 brought big news of a tribute album to be released from the famous Muscle Shoals studio. Sporting the clever and commendable title, Muscle Shoals: 'Small Town, Big Sound,' this album connects artists across an array of genres and styles to recreate timeless songs that originated at FAME Studio. Each song maintains the integrity of the original piece and transports you back in time, while simultaneously conveying a fresh and exciting variation, both instrumentally and vocally.
The full album releases on September 28th, 2018 with a preorder and video trailer available now. Linked here: http://smarturl.it/MuscleShoalsTribute; screen below! 
The [pre-order] includes an instant download of “Brown Sugar” by Steven Tyler & Nuno Bettencourt; watch below or stream on the Muscle Shoals YouTube.
FAME Studio | Muscle Shoals | Promotional Video | Album Trailer
With the news of this album, a promotional video was released that included interviews with the contributing artists, clips of the recordings in action, as well as footage from the 2013 documentary surrounding FAME studios titled simply Muscle Shoals. This video gets you hyped up and prepares your ears for the incredible experience this album will deliver. Watch the video for a taste of what is to come, and view the track list above!
I had the pleasure of getting an exclusive behind the scenes look into the making of this album. Bob Wray, a studio musician of 48 years and a brilliant bassist, played bass on four songs with the artists Michael McDonald, Alan Jackson, Brent Smith, and Steven Tyler. “Getting called to play on this project was a huge compliment to me and I am proud to be a part of the album,” he stated. “After 48 years of being a session player, I am pleased to have this project included in my credentials.”
Steven Tyler brought his signature scream and unique edgy vocals to this experience, transforming the song into a modern twist of the classic original. The Alabama soul-flow resonates throughout the song as the saxophone blasts the listener back to the old Muscle Shoals days. Just one track off this album is all that is needed to demonstrate the pure, unique, and timeless sound that comes out of FAME each and every time. “If you stop for a moment and think about the most influential songs of all time, I guarantee you a vast majority of those songs were recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama,” Brent Smith of Shinedown expressed. “Muscle Shoals was, and is, all about the artist, the songs, and the attitude. What an honor to be a part of this special project with my version of “Mustang Sally” [original version by Wilson Pickett below].

Counterparts Debut "Selfishly I Sink" Music Video; 2018 EP 'Private Room' Out September 27th8/29/2018

Facebook: @counterpartsband Instagram: @counterpartsband Youtube: @counterpartsVEVO Twitter: @counterparts905 http://purenoise.net/
This particular song, “Selfishly I Sink,” has been defined by vocalist Brendan Murphy as, “one of the few b-sides from You’re Not You Anymore. Although it doesn’t really have a place on the record I’m still excited that the song finally gets to see the light of day.”
Mixing together melodic tones and heavier ‘mosh-pit’ riffs, Counterparts has such a diverse sound that metal lovers of all backgrounds can enjoy. With emotion-provoking lyrics and a powerful message, “Selfishly I Sink” comes straight from the heart of the members of the band. This song is open for interpretation per each individual listen, but one of the most powerful lyrics I listened to would have to be, “Emotions cast like stones skipped across empty lakes, and selfishly I sink.” Anybody that’s ever felt like their feelings have been thrown aside or proclaimed unreasonable can definitely find comfort in this song. Unlike traditional music video standards, this song has a video unique all on its own. Mixing together various live show clips from all over the world, as well as bloopers from life on the road with the band members, the video for “Selfishly I Sink” is creative and individual.

Watch the premiere of the newest Shinedown music video, "GET UP," out since August 8th, 2018; it is track #11 from ATTENTION ATTENTION [05.04.18].
Press Here comments, "["GET UP"] was born out of vocalist, Brent Smith watching his friend, Shinedown bassist Eric Bass, deal with depression. Offering a light in a time of darkness, especially with mental health issues, is something Brent is deeply connected to after battling his own personal demons. Reaching far beyond any genre or label, "GET UP" speaks to the human spirit in a time of need, and it's a song that has already resonated with the masses - becoming a fan favorite at arena shows on tour where the crowd response is palpable, and racking up more than 5 million total streams totally organically."
Multi-platinum Shinedown includes Brent Smith [vocals], Zach Myers [guitar], Eric Bass [bass, production], and Barry Kerch [drums]. The band has sold more than 10 million albums and 10 million singles worldwide.
Shinedown recently announced a European headlining tour, set to kick off October 29, 2018 with tickets on sale. They are currently on the road this summer for a co-headlining U.S. tour with Godsmack. Visit shinedown.com or click the photo below!
Shinedown's music video for, "GET UP" was directed by the mesmerizing Bill Yukich who has previously released with Wiz Khalifa ["See You Again" 2015], Beyonce ["Sorry" 2016] and Marilyn Manson ["Kill4Me" 2017]. For an index of his work, reference IMVDb at the link here. The music video for "Get Up" [Track #11] from ATTENTION ATTENTION [04.04.18], features a diverse cast narrating the song's lyrical theme of self-empowerment and optimism; the ending leaves room for ambiguity and audience interpretation.
*✧･ﾟ:* [Spoiler] | The ending to Shinedown's "GET UP" MV | Gif Below *:･ﾟ✧*
Directed By: Bill Yukich
We're met with elegance throughout the entirety of the film; the protagonist is dressed for an important event. Throughout the video she reflects on a positive relationship with her partner and child. At the threshold of the lyrics, "I believe you can be whatever; and I agree you can do much better; trust me" we encounter a change in mood. The character begins to interlace fights with loving memories. Shinedown perform in a formal theatre; the room decorated with funeral candles yet ambient sunlight. Impeccable cinematography!

Rick Genest, known as Zombie Boy, was born on August 07, 1985, and departed at age 32 on August 1st, 2018; announced by Billboard. The Canadian [LaSalle & Montreal, Quebec] actor, model and musician appeared in Lady Gaga's infamous, "Born This Way" [2011] music video; Lady Gaga painted her face to match his tattoos - Gif below. We delve into Zombie Boy's music appearances in the global rock and metal stage within the last decade; sharing [2013 to 2015] music videos where Rick Genest was vocalist or instrumentalist for collaborated projects; join us in our tribute.
Revolver published, "[Rick Genest] grew up in the city's underground punk scene; he got his first tattoo at age 16. By the time he turned 20, his body was practically covered with morbid, skeletal-inspired ink; giving him the appearance of a corpse (hence the nickname)." The NY Times adds, "In 2011, [Genest] made it into The Guinness World Records for most insects tattooed on the body - 176." In People Magazine, on August 3rd, 2018; Dulcedo Management, who represented Genest, stated they are: "- shocked and saddened by this tragedy.” They shared: “Zombie Boy, Rico, was loved by everyone who had the chance to meet and know him. Icon in the artistic scene and in the fashion and entertainment industries, this innovator has charmed all hearts.” In a statement obtained by PEOPLE from Dulcedo Management, they wrote that “contrary to reports,” the classification of Genest's death “is yet to be determined.”

Revolver describes prior to the release of "Born This Way:" "Genest was approached by Nicola Formichetti — creative director for fashion mogul Thierry Mugler, and Lady Gaga's stylist — who catapulted him to international fame: this time as a supermodel, as opposed to a side-show attraction. In addition to his starring role in Gaga's "Born This Way" video, Genest appeared in a Mugler ad campaign, modeled for GQ, Vanity Fair, and Vogue Hommes, made cameos in blockbuster films like 2013's 47 Ronin. Genest turned his focus to music; at the time of his death, he had been working on an original LP alongside Rob Zombie guitarist Mike Riggs."
By "side-show" attraction, Mirror.CO.UK interviews Rick Genest who describes his teenage years, "Aged 15, I found out I had a brain tumour. I was told I could die or be left disfigured; I guess this spiralled me into becoming obsessed with the morbid and macabre. As it happened, the operation to remove the tumour went without a hitch, but since then, I’ve known life was too short to not fulfill my dreams of tattoos and body modifications." Genest adds, "I had my first tattoo – a skull and crossbones on my left shoulder – aged 16 after my operation. I was an outcast Goth as a teen and ran away from home after my first inking. I had an argument with my parents, over something I can’t even remember now, and running away was an act of rebellion."

Anthony Cannella  Recently, Good Charlotte released their second single "Shadowboxer" off their upcoming highly anticipated seventh studio album 'Generation Rx;' scheduled to be released to the public on September 14, via a newly issued global partnership between the band's MDDN label and BMG. 'Generation Rx' signifies a new chapter for the group-brothers Joel (Vocals) and Benji Madden (Guitar and Vocals), Billy Martin (Guitar), Paul Thomas (Bass), and Dean Butterworth (Drums), while also staying in touch with their old roots that speak directly to the youth. Good Charlotte is promoting their album head-on by releasing their singles "Actual Pain" [link to archives here] and "Shadowboxer" early; along with the announcement of a massive 2018 North American Tour with a European/UK tour to follow in 2019. If you haven’t seen the new music video for the single "Shadowboxer" yet check it out below! "Shadowboxer" is an extremely personal and meaningful track that is followed by a heartfelt video that was directed by Jake Stark. Good Charlotte, in this track, addresses the issue of mental health and the struggles that come with depression. The video for "Shadowboxer" is a direct look at everyday people confronting the pain and struggle that is reflected at them as they hopelessly look at themselves in the mirror. In this type of situation, pain is often not visible to the other people around you, which allows mental illness to overcome that person as they suffer in silence. If you or anyone you know is struggling with depression, know that someone is always there. The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-273-8255. You can pre-order Generation Rx right now at https://store.goodcharlotte.com/collections/generation-rx. Also, view below to check out where you could see Good Charlotte this year!
