Combichrist, King810, A Killer’s Confession, Heartsick Announce U.S. Tour!!!

Industrial cult leaders Combichrist and their rock n roll counterparts KING 810 have announced U.S. tour dates that begin on April 3rd in Winter Park, Fl at Soundbar and conclude on April 26th in Atlanta, GA at The Masquerade. The tour also boasts support bands A Killer’s Confession featuring ex-Mushroomhead frontman Waylon Reavis, and the Michigan Metalcore band Heartsick featuring our friend the uber talented vocalist Alfonso Civile.  You may often see the genre “Dance” thrown around when critics talk about Combichrist, but let me tell you now; the only dancing that Combichrist inspires is some of the roughest moshing I’ve seen to date.  I first witnessed Combichrist when the band was opening for a co-headlining tour of Coal Chamber and Filter in 2015. I had little to no knowledge about the band and honestly wasn’t eagerly awaiting their performance because of the “dance” references about their sound. As they winded down performing their first song of a short set I was picking my jaw up off the floor. The band sounds amazing and its non-stop action and entertainment on stage. The band was hand picked to open a 4 month tour for Rammstein during a world tour that put them in front of hundreds of thousands of new faces, if that doesn’t demonstrate the need to see them I don’t know what will. They are true performers and something that must be witnessed live. They inspire moshing and stimulate everyone one of your senses, maybe even some you wasn’t aware of.

Clint Lowery is most known as the guitarist and vocalist in Sevendust, whom have endured lineup changes, fads in genres and more and still stand as one of the most underrated bands out there today.  Clint’s penchant for punishing riffs and saccharine choruses have helped Sevendust last for over 2 decades, while also seeing him spend time in Seether, Korn  and Dark New Day to name a few during his time away from Sevendust. 2020 finally sees Clint release his long awaited solo debut, God Bless The Renegades, which showcases all of Clint’s song writing strengths and sees him taking center stage as the sole vocalist.

NOTHING MORE Guitarist “Rock Bands Have No Balls To Take Risks”

Texas rockers Nothing More have had quite the stranglehold on the active rock scene for the last few years.  Erupting on the scene with their uber catchy single “This Is The Time” (Ballast) in 2014 off the bands Self Titled album, the band hasn’t slowed down wining over fans with their aggressively heavy brand of hard rock, with emotive lyrics and penchant for saccharine choruses, and a stage show that has to be seen to be believed Continue reading

What Are 7 Content Creation Tips We Should Keep in Mind for 2020

Content takes a significant if not the leading role in brand building and business promotion. Users and potential customers have become more hypercritical and picky in terms of the content they receive. Therefore, brands must treat this aspect of marketing responsibly and provide their customers with what they request if they want to succeed. You have to keep up with the upcoming trends or become a trendsetter yourself. Experts at https://essayshark.com/ prepared a list of content creation tips that you should consider while compiling your 2020 business development plan.

Create More Video Content

According to Google, 90% of users discover new brands with the help of YouTube videos. People want to get fascinating, entertaining, informative videos from companies that produce goods they consume or services they benefit from. Statistics state that people spend 88% more time on websites that have video content. How can your business use this? Your marketing department can broadcast live and show your customers the backstage of getting things done inside your company. Live stream educational or informative videos with your partners or opinion leaders. Invite celebrities, bloggers, and experts. Offer your customers videos that will highlight your expertise but will not look like you are boasting.

Educate Your Audience

Use videos and posts to give your subscribers or users more information about creating or using something. Webinars are still an excellent instrument for attracting customers in B2B. However, you should alter a format a bit and offer some new forms. Thus, try providing your target audience with intense courses that last for just one hour, a series of workshops, interactive engagements, or gamification. In addition to that, do not forget about the simple “How to” videos that can be used literally for everything — from packing a Christmas present to using your application on various devices.

STEEL PANTHER Frontman “Bands Are Afraid To Connect Themselves With Our Brand Of Getting Laid, Doing Blow And Fucking Bitches”

Steel Panther have carved out quite the career for themselves, by not being themselves.  The band started out under the moniker Metal Skool, and quickly became the toast of the strip with their blistering covers sets of classics from Van Halen and countless other mainstays of the 80’s hair metal scene.  After changing the name the band would earn a name for their raunchy lyrics and over the top playing with a live show that was equal parts a metal show and a comedy set complete with stage banter that would make Sam Kinison blush. Steel Panther have lasted longer than most would’ve expected spanning 10 years and 5 studio albums, including 2019’s Heavy Metal Rules. Continue reading

PRONG Vocalist Reflects On Bands Fans Leaving After Success Of Hit Song “We’ve Never Gotten Those People Back, And I Don’t Know Why”

Tommy Victor started Prong back in the late 80’s and quickly established themselves among the hardcore/punk ranks with their EP Primitive Origins and quickly followed that up with their first full length, Force Fed.  Over the next 2 decades Tommy would steer Prong into various sonic territories, all while solidifying the bands “sound”. Various iterations of bands lineup have come and gone over the years with Tommy being the sole original member, but the band still sounds as good as ever with their most recent release, “Age of Defiance”.
