London based, horror influenced, Metal beast, Possessor, have recently released today's Track Of The Day, ‘Bloodsuckers’, the second single to be taken from their new album ‘Damn The Light’, set for release on Friday 30th October via APF Records. Following shows with the likes of Conan, Black Moth and The Shrine, their 2019 album, 'Gravelands', cemented the London band’s reputation as a heavier-than-hell primitive force to be reckoned with. With ripping amps about to blow, a barrage of overdriven bass attack and pile-driver drums from beyond the grave, this mausoleum of riffs and madness will take your soul and wake the dead. 44 minutes of horror drenched Metal, nine tales of mayhem and one vulgar ritualistic interlude await those brave enough to enter this twisted realm between life and death. Will you survive or will you succumb to The Strangeness?

Today's Blues On The Radio Track Of The Day is another hour of fabulous music from the likes of Larkin Poe, Alex Dixon's Vintage Dixon, Elles Bailey (pictured), Lloyd Jones, Starlite Campbell Band, Elvin Bishop & Charlie Musselwhite, Kai Strauss & The Electric Blues Allstars, Rebecca Downes, Saints & Sinners, Mike Ross, Danielle Miraglia, Richard Koechli, Kim Wilson and When Rivers Meet.

Revered Melodic Rock act Pride Of Lions, featuring legendary Survivor founder Jim Peterik and powerhouse American vocalist Toby Hitchcock, returned last Friday with their sixth album, 'Lion Heart', of which 'Carry Me Back' is today's Video Of The Day. Pride Of Lions is the perfect outlet for the duo to showcase their renowned skills: the songs on the new record demonstrate what a phenomenal songwriting and performing ‘lionheart’ Peterik still is a full five decades after his first chart success in 'The Ides Of March', while Hitchcock has developed his trademark style since first coming to the attention of genre afficionados via the debut 'Pride Of Lions' album in 2003, with a voice that initially drew comparison to Bobby Kimball (Toto), Jimi Jamison (Survivor) and Lou Gramm (Foreigner).

Legendary Thrash Metallers EvilDead, who formed in 1986 and released one riotous EP and two cranium crunching landmark albums before imploding in 1992, have reunited and re-signed to Steamhammer/SPV to release their stunning third album, ‘United $tate$ Of Anarchy’, on Friday 30th October. The US band's sound was unique, highlighting a blend of speed and Thrash Metal guitar riffs along with hyper drumming locked in with an over the top thundering bass with Punk overtones, complemented with lyrics that explored political, thought provoking social ideas, as well as horror and nuclear war themes. United $tate$ Of Anarchy’, which contains nine original new studio songs, plus a Metalised cover version of the B-52’s ‘Planet Claire’, is a a collection of vital tracks that are a throwback to their roots of Thrash, returning more powerful than ever, and have reawakened again to annihilate the masses.

After celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2019 with the release of the '25LIVE@25' album, the British Rock icons have also added new shows due to phenomenal demand, including a brand new date at London’s O2 Academy Brixton.

Today's Video Of The Day is Mason Hill's new single and title track, taken from their forthcoming debut album, 'Against The Wall', due to be released next year on Friday 5th March. Having performed at the recent Planet Rock Rock The Asylum pay per view show in Birmingham, the band, consisting of Scott Taylor (lead vocals), James Bird (lead guitar), Marc Montgomery (guitar), Matthew Ward (bass) and Craig McFetridge (drums), legged it back up to Scotland to go straight into the video shoot with director Scott McKay and BAFTA nominated writer David Barras, from award winning Scottish production company, Strangeboat. The new album showcases the loyal and committed fanbase the band have rallying around them raising recording funds through Kickstarter, and in November last year the group recorded 11 songs at Riverside Studios in Glasgow, with Scott later travelling to New York to track his vocals.

For fans of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica, Stratovarius, Helloween and Avenged Sevenfold - indulge yourself with today's Track Of The Day, 'Revelation', taken from Lyonen’s debut album, 'This is Lyonen', released in August. Luis “Tato” Rivas' solo-project is fueled by a passion for music and a willingness to spread his message, which will have listeners engulfed into the world he creates with his innate talent and powerful compositions. 'Revelation' is about not being engrossed in the lives of others and how you need the courage to do your own thing. With soaring powerful vocals provided by the UK’s Craig Cairns, this release is just the tip of the iceberg for Lyonen; music is constantly being written and there are plans for a follow-up album next year.

UK Rock trio Skam recently released, via X-Ray Records, today's Video Of The Day for 'Green Eyes', which is the first single taken from their forthcoming EP, 'Intra', due to be released next year on Friday 26th February, which combines the familiar Skam power with melodic choruses to showcase a significant step forward by the band. Combining an early Def Leppard crunch with a touch of the Foo Fighters and the grit of Rival Sons - the track’s focus is on jealousy and how the grass can look greener on the other side of the fence, but to overcome it, you need to suck it up, swallow it down, and concentrate on your own life. It's the first EP of a two-part anthology, making up their fourth full length release, and have gone back to basics and put together a collection of hard hitting inspirational tracks.

"So all in all a nice listen, with Innes’ compositions faring best to these ears after the first few auditions, and definitely a band that I’ll hope to hear in a live setting." That was part of our take on Malone Sibun's debut album, 'Come Together', earlier this year, and despite the fact that we will be seated and socially distanced when they play London's New Cross Inn, on Sunday 22nd November, at least gigs have begun again at the iconic venue in New Cross Road SE14.

Originally featured on Matt's 2019 eponymous debut album, 'Unavailable' tells a story of someone who is trying to find themselves in a world of fast living artistic lifestyle and ending up amongst people that all seem to be trying their luck at doing the same thing. So behind all the smiles, nights out, bad habits, poker faces, living high life and experiencing many lows; they end up just feeling mentally exhausted and frayed.
