REBEL RAMPAGE Highlights Victims Of Climate Change In New Video, “Scorched Earth”

Not everyday you come across bands that sing about grave topics like climate change, environmental protection etc. GOJIRA did roll the ball when it came to environmental subjects, so much so that they were heralded as “eco-metallers”, just another sub genre in the palette. Like wise, today we have another fresh, new and young band from Los Angeles, by the name of REBEL RAMPAGE, who are singing along the same lines. In their brand new video, “Scorched Earth“, off their debut album, Divided We Fall‘, the band can be seen dedicating the song to the victims and first responders of the disastrous effects of climate change. More specifically, the ravaging wildfires that smoked the state of California, a couple of months ago. As climate change progresses, we are likely to see more and more people displaced as a result of wildfire. The victims of climate change may even want to head to sites like https://lawtx.com/, where they can find a lawyer who will represent them in a climate change lawsuit.

Flaw “Divided We Fall” Review

flaw_pic2

Flaw is one of the legends as far as Kentucky metal bands go. They put the Bluegrass State on the map for something other than country when they hit the airwaves in the late 90’s thru early 2000’s. Their last major release was 2004’s ‘Endangered Species’. The band has been back together and playing some live shows over the past couple years and we even got a taste of the new album pretty early with “Bleed Red”. At the Louder Than Life festival in 2015 we had a chance to speak with the band about the upcoming album and music in the current era. Singer Chris Volz and guitarist Jay Daunt both stated that rock and metal was on a 10 year cycle and that it was time for popularity to sway back towards rock rather than pop. After hearing the latest record by the band ‘Divided We Fall’ not only do I agree that rock is making its way back but I believe Flaw is leading the way. The new album will be released via Pavement Music. The album was recorded with Rick Lander (Dead Horse Trauma, Under Pike Skies) at Crisis Lab Studios. The album is the monumental comeback record we have all hoped for. It was always FLAW fans’ connection to their songs that carried the band on.  “We would not be where we are today without our hardcore fans,” says Volz. The Flaw Family is the motor that drives the band and this album will just double the size of that family once it’s released. ‘Divided We Fall’ is scheduled to hot stores August 19th. Make sure to pick the album up directly from the band on their upcoming tour with Dope and Motograter, or pre-order here.   Continue reading

Flaw has been back together for a few years now and touring all over the country. Three of the bands core member remain in the band. Vocalist Chris Volz, Guitarist Jay Daunt, and Ryan Jurhs have an amazing chemistry together that is seen and heard in their music. Drummer Corey Sturgill was a great addition to the band and he has helped add another dimension to the band, and he is an entertaining drummer to watch. The band has released one new single in the past year titled “Bleed Red” which dominated air play on Sirius XM Octane when it was released to them exclusively. This song shows the band can still put out emotionally driven heavy music that touches a nerve with any listener. The band last release major release was “Endangered Species” back in 2006. Flaw has a loyal fan base that has been craving new music for quite sometime and they just got the news they have been waiting for. We spoke to the band back in October at the Louder Than Life festival about the new album and their timeline to release it. The band signed a deal with Pavement Entertainment and have no announced a date for the release of their new album Divided We Fall. Continue reading
