SELLING POINTS

A�er the dust settles and the apocalypse runs its course, art will still persist in the wake of insanity. Society may crumble, but music endures and even thrives. �e Acacia Strain document this deconstruction from the front row. �e metal institution—Vincent Bennett [vocals], Kevin Boutot [drums], Devin Shidaker [guitar], Gri�n Landa [bass], and Tom “�e Hammer” Smith, Jr. [guitar]—survey humanity’s fate with seasick grooves, thrash precision, doom vulnerability, and vocal convulsions in 2020 throughout a series of �ve digital and physical two-song seven-inches. �ese releases ultimately comprise their eighth full-length o�ering, Slow Decay - out July 17th via Rise Records.

Founded in 2001, such ponderousness always crept between the cracks of the band’s menacing maelstrom of metal and hardcore. As such, they engendered diehard fandom within a cult audience and put up unprecedented numbers for an extreme act with over 45 million streams and 272,000 albums sold across their catalog. Along the way, they toured with the likes of Architects UK, Hatebreed, and Crowbar in addition to selling out countless headline gigs.

The Upward Spiral is Nicolas Bougaïeff’s debut full-length album release on Mute, following the release of three EPs on the seminal electronic label’s techno offshoot, NovaMute. The album will be released digitally and on limited edition double blue vinyl on July 24.

The Upward Spiral explores elements of acid, techno and tempo modulation through a compositional lens, drawing on the Canadian-born, Berlin-based artist’s love for avant-garde forms and long-standing relationship with the electronic music community. Bougaïeff hails from a diverse musical background, having studied in a conservatoire setting whilst foraying into anti-authoritarian rave culture. He is also a respected lecturer, regularly teaching masterclasses in composition and speaking at global events such as Mutek and Ableton Loop.

Following the completion of his PhD on minimal techno at the University of Huddersfield, Bougaïeff designed the controllers for Richie Hawtin’s Plastikman Live tour, and co-founded Liine, the company behind the landmark music app Lemur used by astronaut Alexander Gerst on the International Space Station in a live jam with Kraftwerk.

Brandy, a multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning R&B/pop singer, songwriter, and actress, was one of the most successful multi-media stars of the ’90s, thanks to her constant presence on both the pop and R&B charts, her popular hit sitcom Moesha and the classic made-for-TV movie phenomenon Cinderella, which attracted more than 60 million viewers. She has sold more than 40M albums worldwide and is ranked one of the best-selling female artists in American music history by the RIAA. She has also earned a Grammy®, an AMA, two Soul Train Music Awards, two NAACP Image Awards, three Billboard Awards, four MTV Awards, six Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards, and many more. Brandy also gained fame for starring in several film and TV projects including the 1998 horror sequel, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, BET Networks series The Game, and as a judge on the #1 rated talent competition, America’s Got Talent.

Her last single (with Daniel Caesar) soared to #1 at Urban AC radio, has over 36M streams on Spotify alone, and was nominated for a GRAMMY® for Best R&B Performance.

ALCATRAZZ TO RELEASE BRAND NEW ALBUM BORN INNOCENT THROUGH SILVER LINING MUSIC

The hard-hitting, melodic heavy metal band Alcatrazz will once again throw down a studio gauntlet on June 26th 2020 with Born Innocent, their first studio venture since 1986’s Dangerous Game. Alongside the unique vocal prowess and range of star frontman and founding member Graham Bonnet, Born Innocent also features fellow founding members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea. And from the classic album art, featuring the mighty rock itself, Born Innocent is a journey into the sort of heavy, melodic and supremely articulated hard rock that is a cornerstone of the likes of Rainbow and the Michael Schenker Group, territory Alcatrazz successfully strode in the ‘80s before going on hiatus. Born Innocent features guest appearances from Chris Impellitteri, who wrote the music and played all guitars on the arpeggio-powered “Born Innocent”, with Bonnet’s vocals soaring to old-school heights, as did Bob Kulick for the majestic “I Am The King”. Virtuoso Japanese guitar maestro Nozomu Wakai similarly wrote and played guitars on the double-kick steel-plated Irish warrior ode “Finn McCool”, while the six-string legend that is Steve Vai wrote “Dirty Like The City”, with Bonnet once again powerfully hitting notes that are beyond the business of most humans. Besides the supreme musicianship, Born Innocent features genuine storyteller lyrics courtesy of Bonnet who revels in showing he loves the scent of an entertaining tale, proudly illustrated on the storming lead single “Polar Bear” which bristles with robust old-world adventure. Though Alcatrazz might well have been Born Innocent, their new album shows they’ve obviously learnt some robust and rawkus things along the way.

DESCRIPTION:A new crusade arises from the sinister clutches of the underworld: The mighty WARKINGS enter the battleground and face ghoulish demons with a formidable weapon made of pure Heavy Metal. Join the clan of the reincarnated with the new full-length album, Revenge, to be released on July 31, 2020 via Napalm Records. The four ancient kings, a roman Tribune, a wild Viking, a noble Crusader and a martial Spartan, gathered in the golden halls of Valhalla, escaped from the realms of obscurity and stole their souls from the Lord of the abyss. In a bloodthirsty furor, the demons seek revenge on the WARKINGS, but Odin‘s legates are more than ready to vanquish the Monarchs of the dusk with their hard-hitting anthems. The opener “Freedom“ initiates the valiant battle with folklore-like heroic elements coalescing with uncompromising heavy pieces. The WARKINGS’ swords are forged with iron riffs, thundering drums and emblematic, powerful vocals, as their epic hymn “Warriors“ and the death angel’s chant “Azrael“ prove with unmeasurable vigor. Accompanied by the multi-faceted, growling battle cries, by the Queen of the Damned, the bellicose epos “Odin’s Sons“ rises with the sons of the North. With the wisdom of heroic battles and divine power, the WARKINGS spark a fire of harsh tunes and remarkable belligerent elements straight out of Valhalla. The legendary four-piece is back to defeat the underworld with their sharpened anthems - I am a Warking!

YUSUF/CAT STEVENSBack To Earth(Super Deluxe Box)Anniversary EditionRelease Date: 7/31/20

H 5CD, 2LP and Blu Ray in Super Deluxe BoxsetH Includes the original album remastered, plus rare and previously unreleased recordings and live material.H Also includes a 60 page hardcover book telling the fascinating story behind Back To Earth plus replica original release press pack, pamphlet, fanzine & posters.H Original tape audio remastered at Abbey Road Studios.H All original pressing artwork fully restored.

Originally released 3 December 1978, Back to Earth would be Cat Steven’s 11th studio album and his last for almost 30 years. 1977 and 1978 were a period of great change for Cat Stevens. He had formally embraced the Muslim faith, changed his name to Yusuf Islam, been awarded the Sun Peace Award by the United Nations and had reunited with producer Paul Samwell-Smith and guitarist/collaborator Alun Davies to embark on one last record before turning his back on the music industry, seemingly for good. Sonically, the album was a return to the acoustic sound of Yusuf’s earlier work. Intended, in part, as his swan song to the recording industry. 2006’s An Other Cup saw Yusuf return to music and with a re-found verve for his exceptional catalogue of work.

YUSUF/CAT STEVENS“Butterfly”/”Toy Heart”7” SingleRelease Date: 7/31/20

Released for the very first time as part of the super deluxe reissue of Yusuf/Cat Stevens 1978 recordBack To Earth; two previously unheard tracksrecorded during the original sessions, “Butterfly”and “Toy Heart.” YUSUF chose to discount the tracks from the finalcut of the record because he considered them tolyrically have too much of a “pop single flavor.” “When I recorded” Yusuf explains, “there would always be one or two songs left over which somehow didn’t fit the mood of the album I wanted to build. Though the songs were good, they were parked on the side.” Both tracks are now released as a very specialdouble A side 7” single. With artwork contribution by Yusuf himself. “Butterfly” is a soaring, groove-based stylisticshift into Philly soul, replete with swooning strings.“Toy Heart,” meanwhile, is a propulsive rocker thatin its writer’s mind was “like a song for Elvis.”
