CEDARS Sign With Split Screen Management, New Album "Cowards" Out June 11th! - @thebeast

ICYMI: CEDARS Sign With Split Screen Management, New Album "Cowards" Out June 11th! Split Screen Management has a pleasure to announce the signing of Texas' electronic rockers CEDARS into its roster family! In addition, the band's new album "Cowards" is coming out on June 11th. More details TBA.  The band stated: "We’re so excited to take the next step as a band with Split Screen Management. We’re looking forward to continuing to build our relationship with Roberto, Tarja, Kimmo and the rest of the Split Screen family, as we work together to share our music and art with the world."  CEDARS is an electronic rock band from central Texas whose music incorporates the DIY ethos of bands like The Pixies and PJ Harvey, the haunting atmospheres of Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, and the infectious grooves of MuteMath. CEDARS is more than just a band: it’s is a vision of community, a community driven by the idea that beauty can save the world. Led by longtime friends Sandeigh Kennedy and Drew Heaton, they blend industrial and organic textures, drawing together disparate elements to marry complex sonic landscapes with compelling stories. Gritty synths and wispy vocals; hard hitting beats and delicate textures are the tools they use to tell powerful, authentic stories that explore truth and beauty.

Extreme Management Group’s Artist Manager Scott Eames has signed Thrash Metal act AMKEN to a Worldwide Deal - @thebeast

Extreme Management Group (EMG), home to bands like Suffocation, Cattle Decapitation, Rings Of Saturn, Misery Index and more, has announced their partnership with Greek Thrash Metallers, AMKEN. AMKEN was formed in 2011 in Athens, Greece. Blood-pumping thrash metal that bridges the gap between old-school and the new-era, crafted by the band's unique style. With the new album “Passive Aggression”, AMKEN really elevated their game. A wall of sound is created by the constant "dialog" between their singers, the super tight rhythm section that the bass provides alongside with the relentless pummeling drumming, combined with intricate riffs and emotional melodies that the guitars unleash. Fotis Benardo (Sixfornine, ex-Septicflesh) was behind the mixing desk, inspiring the band to shape their new sound which blends originally their vintage roots with modern elements and influences. The mastering was completed by George Nerantzis (Abbath, Dark Funeral, Pain Of Salvation), and artwork fashioned by Adam Burke (Vektor, Fit for an Autopsy, Hooded Menace, Creeping Death). In the course of their brief existence, playing 2018’s Japanese Assault fest in Tokyo, Japan and with a European tour alongside Norwegian black metallers GORGOROTH in their arsenal, AMKEN has shared the stage with world-renowned metal acts such as SODOM, DESTRUCTION, SUICIDAL ANGELS, SIX FEET UNDER, MERCILESS, NERVOSA, SKELETONWITCH, SKULL FIST and others; following their debut full length album “Theater of the Absurd” (2017) which was released by No Remorse Records and their first EP “Adrenaline Shot” (2014). With an upcoming full-length album and subsequent tours set in their sights, AMKEN plans to cover more territory and expand their style of electrifying metal. Now, having inked a worldwide deal with Extreme Management Group (EMG), the band says: "We are very excited to be a part of the EMG family and take AMKEN to a whole new level! With our second full length album on the way and our yearn for live shows being stronger than ever, we can't wait to get on the road and bring our music to you all, so stay tuned!" EMG said, "We are thrilled to be working with Amken and look forward to a great partnership!"

May MOTÖRHEAD Madness and Lemmy Celebrated by Ozzy - @thebeast

May has seen the Grammy Award winning legends  MOTÖRHEAD  continue to show the world that they remain not just immortal, but a major part of hundreds of thousands of international music adventures. Their latest release on SL Music,  Louder Than Noise…Live In Berlin , smashed its way into the international charts with typically impressive numbers, including a #4 entry in the German official album charts, a #1 in the official UK Rock & Metal top 40, a top 40 slot in the official Swedish album charts and a top 40 slot in the US rock albums chart. Album charts weren’t the only ones showing their love, the legendary  Ozzy Osbourne  declared Lemmy as his “all-time rock God” in an interview with the BBC’s Johnnie Walker. Ozzy  said the following:  “My rock god is Lemmy Kilmister. Lemmy was a guy - he shot from the hip every time. 'That sucks,' or, 'I like that.' "I'm good at starting lyrics, but I can't finish them. And he'd go - he'd write a bunch of lyrics for my songs - 'Mama, I'm Coming Home.' "So, I'd give him a tape, and I had this book on World War II. I haven't read it and I told him, 'Tell me what you think. And I have a bunch of these lyrics - whenever you can...' I'm thinking, it's gonna be a week. And he says, 'Come back in about four hours.' So I got back, and he goes, 'What do you think about these?' And I go, 'Oh, great.' He then goes, 'What about these?' I go, 'Oh, you got two...?' "He goes, 'No, I got another one - three.' I go, 'You had written three sets of lyrics?!' He said, 'Yeah, and that book was crap!' I said, 'What book?' He says, 'The book you gave me.' "He was a speed-reader! He could read really fast. He was amazing! You look at people like Lemmy and you think, 'Oh, he's a yob [a rude, noisy, and aggressive young person].' But he was very well-educated.” Listen to the full interview  HERE . There was also the annual 8th of May Celebration, which saw BMG/Murder One unveil the first of what will be an ongoing series of archival live material -  The Löst Tapes Vol. 1- Madrid ‘95 , which saw over 60,000 fans enjoy a blistering performance from Lemmy, Phil and Mikkey thanks to this surprise drop. With various social media events going on throughout the day, hundreds of thousands of fans engaged in celebration of  MOTÖRHEAD  and their music. All of this culminated in streaming peaking at its highest ever with 4m streams on the day (a 15% increase). May has also been the month which has seen The Motörcast podcast (hosted by Howard H Smith and available on all podcast platforms, including Apple, Spotify, Amazon, Google Podcasts and Deezer) pass 40,000 listens. MOTÖRHEAD  will continue taking their immortal music to the people this June with the 40th anniversary release of their chart-topping live spectacular  No Sleep ’Til Hammersmith , which will feature the original album plus all three full shows from which the album was originally compiled, as well as unseen photos, the story of the album and other collectibles. The album is currently available for  pre-order  from all your favorite music outlets. In such times of madness, it is wonderful to see that  MOTÖRHEAD  continue to be a major international rock’n’roll force, smashing eardrums and finding new ears to deafen at an ever-increasing rate.

IRE Announces 4th Release “Smile and Watch it Burn” Pittsburgh— 05/14/2021 — IRE announces the upcoming release of their 4th single, a much-anticipated release after Red Ink, Paris Green, and Lost Your Faith. “Smile and Watch it Burn brings out the absolute best of IRE’s previous releases but takes it to another level adding faster-paced, more aggressive metalcore elements similar to that of All That Remains, As I Lay Dying, and Killswitch Engage,” said Brandon Fandel (lead vocals, guitars, drums) of IRE. Classic 2000’s Metalcore Sound Smile and Watch it Burn sings a message of broken relationship, internal struggle, and triumph into new beginnings. Those who have listened to the pre-release of the new single have sung its praises. Fans are saying “There’s no way this doesn’t become a #1 hit”. Smile and Watch it Burn will be available across all major streaming platforms (including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube) Friday, May 14th, 2021. Founded in 2019, IRE consists of Ari Esmi (guitars, vocals), Brandon Fandel (lead vocals, guitars, drums), and Joe Leo (bass, vocals). These three have been playing music together for over 10 years since being early teenagers. Working with top producers, Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak (responsible for August Burns Red, Polaris, Lorna Shore, ERRA, and others), this Pittsburgh-local group of lifelong friends has managed to get radio time on Pittsburgh rock station - 105.9 The X, and has driven over 200,000 streams across multiple major streaming platforms since their first release in February of 2020 – Red Ink. Red Ink has received mass praise from fans across multiple genres and has maintained thousands of streams per month on Spotify which has been IRE’s biggest success, however those who have been a part of the pre-release feel that Smile and Watch it Burn will far surpass the success of Red Ink. https://ireband.com/
