Exclusive: MASK OF JUDAS Release Video For “The Mesmerist”

 

Progressive Tech Metal band Mask Of Judas is based in Chichester in the United Kingdom. The band formed in 2010 and has quickly become a favorite to tech-metal fans both at home and abroad. The band released their debut EP ‘Axis’ in 2014, and followed that up with the release of their full length ‘The Mesmerist’ in May 2018. The band is comprised of Jo Challen on vocals, Sam Bell and Reece Fullwood on guitars, Jof Walsh behind the drums and George Bell laying down the thunder on bass. The way in which vocalist Jo Challen is able to switch back and forth with her harrowingly deep screams and moments later sing in her beautiful melodic tone is simply amazing. Combine her jaw dropping vocal abilities and the technical onslaught of the band and it really shows why Mask Of Judas stands apart from other bands not only in their genre but in metal as a whole. In the past the band has supported Tesseract, Veil of Maya, Periphery, Monuments, and various others over the years. Mask Of Judas also preformed at  Tech-Fest which is iconic for the genre and is now preparing for Radar Fest 2019 at Casino Nightclub, in Guildford, United Kingdom on August 2nd – 4th where the band will be performing along side Animals As Leaders, Monuments and others.

SKUNK ANANSIE Set To Kick Off UK Tour With Several Sold Out Dates! [More Dates Added]

Skunk Anansie were born radical and have stayed that way ever since. It’s there in their music, which slips effortlessly between the confrontational and the tender, the politically charged and the nakedly emotional, the upfront and attention-grabbing and the quiet and restrained. But it’s there in the band’s essence too – in the blend of influences, cultures and personalities they have so successfully brought together. When the band emerged from the sweat-drenched backrooms of London in 1994, electrifying everyone who saw them and jamming an adrenaline shot into the arm of a decadent music scene, they sounded and looked like nothing that had come before them. “Nobody in our manor had seen anything like us before”, says singer Skin, who co-founded the band with bassist Cass and guitarist Ace. “We were an earthquake.” Continue reading

The Bourbon and Beyond festival along with Louder Than Life and the brand spanking new festival “Hometown Rising” will be home to the Highland Festival Grounds in Louisville, KY. This new location will prevent the rain from stopping the great music and the heads moving! Last year’s Bourbon and Beyond festival was super thrilling even though it just went for one day. Acts like Larkin Poe, Swimming With Bears, Lenny Kravitz, John Mayer, Mindi Abair and The Boneshakers, you can’t go wrong! I had such a good experience last year watching all these acts come together and showing Louisville what it was all about! The rain didn’t stop the crowd from rocking! Even though I thought for sure we were going to be washed away, it did not stop the crowd from enjoying the music whatsoever! When you have a heart for music, nothing gets in the way!
