Fallujah is getting ready to release Xenotaph, their sixth album set for release on June 13th via Nuclear Blast Records. For now, you can check out the latest single, “Labyrinth of Stone”, right here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJoMprAuRX0&feature=youtu.be. Guitarist Scott Carstairs says, “‘Labyrinth of Stone’ is nearly six minutes of pure, mind-bending tech death and prog. From start to finish, this track will tear your face off. We guarantee you’ve never heard Fallujah like this before. Prepare your ear holes and eyeballs for one of the most ridiculous tracks and music videos we’ve ever produced”.

Seven Spires has just dropped a new single, “Love’s Souvenir”, off their latest album, A Fortress Called Home. Check out the music video here: https://youtu.be/QKWh42dxMY8?feature=shared. Frontwoman Adrienne Cowan comments, “‘Love’s Souvenir’ was born on one of the darkest days of the production of our fourth studio album A Fortress Called Home. It’s a song about believing you must be extraordinary to be loved, and the aching marble museum that carves inside. It was a way to confront the shame of craving connection, and the long-standing fear of loss when there’s no energy left to perform. I always had the feeling ‘Love’s Souvenir’ needed a music video. Nearly ten months after the album’s release, we finally get to show it to the world: brocade-and-silk-clad agony filmed in a desecrated church in subzero temperatures. It’s beautiful and ugly, polished and raw as the album itself. Working with Chris Kells’ team again was cathartic and wonderfully arty as always. And, if it’s possible to say about something so painful, I’m incredibly happy with and proud of the final result ”. Keep up with the band via: https://www.sevenspiresband.com/.
