Nothing Thrives - Tales of Disgrace
Nothing Thrives, the garage/punk/rock'n'roll quartet from Athens, Greece have just released digitally their brand new album "Tales of Disgrace". The album will also be available on vinyl by Ouga Booga and the Mighty Oug Recordings.
Tales of Disgrace is a great specimen of punk rock'n'roll in the same spirit like Hellacopters, Turbonegro, Misfits, Motörhead and Black Flag. The members of the band have been active in the local heavy underground scene for years and this somehow explains the maturity of the release.
Acid Magus - Emperor (single)

Emerging from the shadows of Pretoria’s rock scene, Acid Magus unleash Emperor, the fiery second single from their upcoming album. Known for their intoxicating blend of doom, stoner, punk, and psych rock, Acid Magus has crafted a track that is both an intense journey into sound and a searing exploration of power’s dark allure.
In a swirl of distorted guitars, heavy riffs, and hypnotic rhythms, Emperor introduces the album’s central antagonist—a power-hungry overlord who thrives on destruction. As a metaphor for colonialism and the erasure of culture, the Emperor embodies raw, destructive ambition. The track invites listeners to confront the brutality of conquest, with haunting lyrics that echo the relentless drive for control. Acid Magus’s characteristic musical grit and psychedelic edge deliver a visceral experience, drawing inspiration from the likes of Mastodon, Kylesa, and Baroness, all while infusing their signature South African flair.

[Vid] Weevil - Insomnia (single)
In Weevil's words:
"Insomnia" is a song inspired by wide-open spaces and the strange blend of emotions that come with sleepless nights. It’s about those quiet hours where everything is still, yet your mind is alive with thoughts. We wanted to capture the beauty and the chaos of that feeling. It is the desert of our minds.
"Insomnia" is a bold preview of what’s to come on "Easy Way", which is set for release on December 13, 2024. Produced by the band with the valuable help of engineer Thanos Amorginos, the album promises to balance the raw energy of tracks like "Wake the Dead" with the introspective depth of "Insomnia".

"Death All Over" is their first single/video of several others to come in the near future. Its anti-war lyrics have an obvious inspiration which is directly connected with the current events on the wars taking place at the moment and at the same time they state an obvious message which is as diachronic and timeless as war itself.

lyrics:
I'll state the obvious
We have no lives to spare
For the ambitions of our rulers
The ones that will prevail
Are making history
Lies to feed the population
We're cannon fodder
We're just a number
We are the cogs of the machine
Another day at war
Death all over
No god to save us all
The hunters will feed on their prey
Every man for himself
Every woman and child to their death
Genocidal Generation
Conflict is all they know

Miranda and the Beat are back with a brand new slab of audio splendor. “Can’t Take It” was recorded in King Khan’s Moon Studios Rock n Roll Vortex in a remote village on the German countryside.
Written and recorded in just five days, the album blends all the best flavors from pure punk anthems played at a chair smashing intensity, to grinding R n B, to hypnotic edgy sci-fi alchemy and even some heart smashing balladry to boot.
Miranda Zipse (Lead Vocals and Guitar), Dylan Fernandez (Farfisa and guitar), and Alvin Jackson (bass) have created a rock and roll storm so prepare your ears for a hurricane of blasphemy and tears.
After extensively touring since their debut ‘Self-Titled’ LP release in May 2023, the band is back full force with their classic gut wrenching guitar, tear jerking vocals, and taste for blood.

Loving Jane - Living a Lie

And this is how "Living a Lie" was born!
