Rob Zombie’s ‘The Munsters’ Premieres Sept. 27 on Digital and Blu-Ray Before Heading to Netflix

Rob Zombie‘s movie reboot of the classic 1960s sitcom “The Munsters” will be made available on Blu-ray/DVD on September 27. You can also purchase your own digital version that same day. The Blu-ray will include lots of bonuses that won’t be available on the version that will come to Netflix the same month, such as over 60 minutes of extra footage with a making-of documentary about the movie’s production.

On Wednesday (July 20), Rob took to social media to clear up rumors that the film was originally going to open in theaters, possibly with a simultaneous release on Peacock, and he shot down reports that “The Munsters” had a $40 million budget.

“How the hell did everyone get the idea that The Munsters cost 40 millions dollars?” Rob wrote. “Fuck, I wish I had that kind of budget.

“To put a little perspective on it all if you add up the budgets of Halloween 2, The Lords of Salem, 31, 3 From Hell and The Munsters all together it wouldn’t even add up to 30 million.

“Also the movie was never going to theaters or Peacock or Paramount. It was always being made for Netflix which is fine since it is the largest of the streaming services. This was done way before I ever got involved in the project. I have no control or say over this type of stuff. This is a Universal deal. But the internet loves to invent rumors which somehow turns to facts so the fans can get all bend out of shape.

Zombie‘s film reboot of “The Munsters”reportedly began filming in May 2021 and will feature Zombie‘s wife, Sheri Moon Zombie, cast as Lily Munster, and Jeff Daniel Phillips as Herman Munster. The cast will also include Daniel Roebuck co-starring as Grandpa Munster. Richard Brake (“31”, “3 From Hell”) is playing Dr. Henry Augustus Wolfgang. Catherine Schell (“Space: 1999”, “The Return Of The Pink Panther”) is playing “Zoya Krupp the gypsy queen.” Dee Wallace, Cassandra “Elvira” Peterson and Jorge Garcia will also star.

Zombie told EW that “The Munsters” is more family-friendly than his previous films.

Valley of Great Dismay

(Lyric Video)

https://youtu.be/KMZRwJJaCrE

LAMORI has been developing their own take on the goth rock genre for over 10 years now. Combining gothic rock and metal with electronics and dark wave to produce their own neon-lit flavor. Founded in 2009 on the Aland Islands of Finland, the constellation has stayed unchanged – however, their sound is ever-evolving. NEON BLOOD FIRE, the band’s fourth album to be released by Wormholedeath, will refine the soundscapes heard on the 2020 released NEO NOIR, but also introduce completely new elements to the mix. This album will have some of the heaviest LAMORI songs ever heard!

M-Theory Audio – GRAVESHADOW Release “Vengeance Of Envy” Video Off New Album “The Uncertain Hour” Out Now!

Last Friday GRAVESHADOW released their anticipated new album, ‘The Uncertain Hour,’ and kicked off a west coast tour. Today GRAVESHADOWrelease their next music video“Vengeance of Envy.” Check it at https://youtu.be/oY6UCM7PPhQ​

“I’m excited to release this song because of its straightforward and rock heavy sound,” states singer Rachl “Raxx” Quinn. “Rock ‘n roll is a large part of my origin, and the mesh of hard rock and heavy metal culminates in something I think that is truly special.”

GRAVESHADOW’s third album, ‘The Uncertain Hour,’ was produced by Miss May I guitarist Justin Aufdemkampe (Clutch, War of Ages), mastered by Alberto De Icaza (Crobot, Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist) and features artwork by Roman Ismaylov (Battle Beast, Beast In Black). The Sacramento-based quintet deftly mixes symphonic/gothic metal with elements and influences from a variety of styles to create something epic, progressive, melodic and powerful.

‘The Uncertain Hour’ sees a new lineup for GRAVESHADOW now augmented by the newfound energy that has been brought into the band by the soaring melodic performance of new vocalist Rachl “Raxx” Quinn and the rumbling rhythm section of new bassist Luci Rae and new drummer Bones Padilla. The returning guitar duo of William Lloyd Walker and Aaron Robitsch once again deliver a beautiful display of guitar histrionics that tastefully mixes searing shred with warm melody, while Aaron even adds some harsh backing vocals. GRAVESHADOW are back on the scene with a story to tell. Intertwining melodic highs and crushing lows to sweep listeners away on a journey of self-discovery, loss and the will to carry on.

CDs and limited-edition vinyl (200 copies) of ‘The Uncertain Hour’ are available in stores or can be ordered online from www.smarturl.com/graveshadow, as well as digital downloads/streaming.

Three digital singles and videos have been released in the buildup for the album. The first taste of new music from the reformed lineup came with The Witcher inspired song “Gwynnebleidd” https://youtu.be/XrorDG70g3Q back in May 2020. It proved the revamped quintet could create new music and be accepted by their existing fanbase and a new audience. Collaborating on more new music further sessions continued and were evidenced by “Soldier Of 34” https://youtu.be/qXDzhkfRjuM and “The Swordsman” (the latter even featuring guest vocals from Chelsea Murphy of Dawn of Ouroboros, Cailleach Calling and Tegmentum) https://youtu.be/WnFOUN9S4aw.

Remaining Dates GRAVESHADOW “The Uncertain Hour Tour 2022” w/VINTERSEA: 7/22 – Dante’s – Portland, OR 7/23 – Cafe Colonial – Sacramento, CA GRAVESHADOW‘s previous album, 2018’s ‘Ambition’s Price,’ was given accolades by Metal Utopia for being “a great record with lots of great moments for fans of Nightwish and The Birthday Massacre.” Metal Nation praised ‘Ambition’s Price,’ declaring that “GRAVESHADOW has taken what has become a somewhat complacent and stagnant style of metal and breathed fresh life into it, creating something vibrant and memorable.” The fantastical lyrical themes that were explored by the band on ‘Ambition’s Price’ – their debut record for M-Theory Audio and the follow-up to the group’s incubatory 2015 debut full-length ‘Nocturnal Resurrection’ – were applauded by critics and fans alike. The band followed the release of ‘Ambition’s Price’ by winning over new audiences with extensive touring alongside bands such as Arkona, Sirenia, Exmortus, Night Demon, and Unleash The Archers.

Hallowed Be Thy Train

From Ed Force One to Train 666, Iron Maiden does things in grand fashion. IRON MAIDEN played a sold-out concert on its “Legacy Of The Beast” tour in front of 61,867 fans at the football arena Ullevi in Gothenburg, Sweden on July 22. A joint venture between MTRX and Warner m music provided a special event train service for fans from Stockholm to Gothenburg where each of the 244 passengers received a special gift bag filled with limited edition Maiden merch for 244 lucky passengers including an Eddie mask, a special 12-inch vinyl single and the train was decorated inside and out in full Maiden regalia.

Darren Edwards, international product manager at Warner Music explains in a video released by SVT. “Sweden has always been important to Maiden, so we thought they deserved us to go an extra 110 percent, and we wanted to put on an experience and event for their fans,” the whole band flew in early. Steve’s playing football the day before the show, as he often does when he’s in Sweden, Nicko is probably playing golf, so there’s just this special connection. They love Sweden, and they know the fans are really special over here.”

The coolest part? According to Sweden’s Trainspotting Channel on YouTube, the train continues to operate with its new make over as Train 666.

EATEN BY SHARKS Question Survival Extremes In “Dead Weight” Off Upcoming Album “Eradication” Out Aug 2022

The ocean is a vast, unforgiving world where things can go horribly awry. This is the topic of Eaten By Sharks’ latest single “Dead Weight” off the upcoming album “Eradication” – a technical death metal horror story that takes a deep dive into the gruesome possibilities that can result from daring to enter the untamed sea.

The single hits quickly, revealing some of the hells we face out on the open waters, alone out in the elements, what will you do to survive? What would you do in the fight for your life while battling infection and madness? Will you leave a trail of carnage behind you? These questions are presented alongside down-picked speed chugging, odd times, progressive movements, and a punishing ending. The band comments on the song:

“’Dead Weight’ is the follow-up to the punishing groove of ‘Shallow Water’. No intro, No standing around, just straight into the madness! This song is the fastest that we offer on the album, the most aggressive and progressive. Lyrically, Matt whips up another nautical disaster story, shipwrecked and alone. To what atrocities man will resort, to stay alive? His vocals are put to task, he keeps up to tempo, pulls out all the stops, and delivers yet another perfectly matched vocal performance, punctuated with a squeal that slurps up the grime from the deepest trench that the ocean has to offer.”

Eaten By Sharks was hatched out of a desire to start a punishing metal project and as soon as the moment was right, the heavy techy riffs started flowing. Adding blast beats and breakdowns to them along with a healthy appetite for horror movies, the band was formed with a campy nautical horror theme and serious musicianship.

With elements of slam, thrash and deathcore, Eaten By Sharks up the ante when it comes to technical death metal. Fans of Cattle Decapitation, Revocation, and Gojira will be especially interested in testing the waters.

2022 – Eradication
2013 – We’re Gonna Need A Bigger Boat – EP

“Shit, did they put on a solid show and constantly required crowd interaction. They seamlessly blended classic and modern death metal with some technical flare here and there. I was thoroughly impressed with this awesome band, and can only add another solid band to the ever-growing laundry list of opening bands that may or may hit hit the spot…..and Eaten By Sharks fucking shredded!” – Technical Music Review (Live Review – Eaten By Sharks Opening for First Fragment – St. Catharines, ON -12-2-18)

“They groove a ton, with some sweet guitar licks for good measure to keep your ears engaged. They’re a mix of classic and new death metal, and just as ferocious.” – Technical Music Review

Alchemia releases video for ‘Ashes’ and introduces a new bass player

“Ashes” is part of the repertoire of the debut “Inception”, released in Europe and Japan by the label Wormholedeath and in Brazil by Shinigami Records.

The horror metal band Alchemia from São Paulo presents the music video for “Ashes”, a track from their debut album, “Inception”, released in the Brazilian market by Shinigami Records and in Europe and Japan by the label Wormholedeath. “‘Ashes’ is a song that talks about getting rid of toxic people, who, in addition to stealing our time, always have some hollow advice but never accomplish anything,” said vocalist Victor Hugo Piiroja. “We worked a lot on this material, having special attention to details, from the team, the location to the costumes which, in my case, was developed by the stylist Luisa Clauson and will now be incorporated into our shows, including the first European tour. The costume was inspired by Pinhead, from the classic ‘Hellraiser’, and the character from the game Assassin’s Creed, which I’m a big fan of”, detailed Piiroja.

As in previous works, the clip was directed and edited by Xtudo Obze, who worked on the premises of the Libertà studio (SP). “The location made it possible to use chroma key,which greatly expanded our creative possibilities. We also had the makeup artist Meinside Makeup and the presence of the dancer Daphne Faria, who made exceptional participation, and the photographer Edu Lawless, who also made the new official photos of the band”, detailed the founder of Alchemia.

Check out the video for “Ashes”

The clip marks the debut of bassist G. Morazza with the band. Morazza graduated from the Conservatory of Tatuí/ (SP) and has accompanied great artists in different musical genres, such as Supla, Priscilla Alcântara, Yudi Tamashiro, Stanley Swann, and Mike Kerr, among others. He recorded the album “The Fire” (Mike Kerr) and was a member of Vikram, with which he participated with compositions and recorded the first album. In addition, he has a vast career as a teacher and is the author of “The Digitizing Book”material with over 1000 hand-eye coordination exercises. “When I received the invitation to join Alchemia, I was really excited because I had already recorded the bass lines for the entire album in the studio and I realized that there was something different about their sound. It brings to the listener different colors, they are not randomly played notes, but something well thought out. We’ve made history, I think we created our own style”, analyzed G. Morazza, who will make his stage debut with the band on July 22 at Bar Opinion, in Porto Alegre (RS), next to HIBRIA and It’s All Red.“This is the debut show of the ‘Inception Tour 2022/2023’, which will pass through several cities in Brazil, and Latin American countries, in addition to the first part of the European tour this year and, in 2023, in the second part, with shows in Europe and Asia.

Tickets with the ‘double pack’ promotion (valid for two tickets for the price of one) for the show at Bar Opinião, in Porto Alegre (RS), alongside HIBRIA and It’s All Red can be purchased at bit.ly/hibria-poa

Out Now! Ft. Guests From Megadeth, Soilwork, Kamelot and more! Norway’s TONIC BREED “Fuel The Fire” of Their Thrash Evolution w/ New EP

Norway’s Tonic Breed has been reborn to evolve into a one-man thrash tank led by founding member Patrik K. Svendsen. Since first forming in 2006, Tonic Breed operated as a full contingent with tons of experience in the European metal community. Following the release of their 2018 album “Install Memory” and after 13 years of moshing, the band members decided to part ways in 2019 with Patrik K. Svendsen taking the reins to reinvent the band for its next release, the EP entitled “Fuel The Fire” that includes guest appearances from Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth), Bernt Jansen (Artch/Wig Wam), Björn Strid (Soilwork), Martin Skriubakken (Endezzma) and Oliver Palotai (Kamelot).

Set to be unleashed on July 22nd, “Fuel the Fire” is raw, energetic hard-hitting thrash, with melodic and groovy elements. The record is four songs all composed by Svendsen, each with their unique touch and sound. The EP will not disappoint the Tonic Breed fanbase, the songs are similar to the styling of past TB recordings, but with new enlightening elements such as EP closing track “Blood Moon”, a melodic piece demonstrating some experimental songwriting from Svendsen. 

The songs were recorded over 18 months with multiple sound engineers from different countries, along with various guest musicians. Svendsen explains in further detail the decision on continuing as a one-man band and putting out the EP:

“The re-branding of Tonic Breed came to life after the lineup was divided. All the other previous band members started their new band projects, but I had not that same momentum going on at the time. I did not then, or have never since, considered making this a full band again to play live shows with Tonic Breed. At the same time, I had a couple of unfinished songs I wanted to finish. So after a little while, I started to take action and continue my musical path as well. The songs I worked with then were meant for a new project. Every now and then on this journey, I did consider officially ending Tonic Breed with a statement to our fans from time to time. You know, instead of just silently fading away. So while this was happening in one part of my brain, I thrived forward with my songs in another. I experimented with different images and styles of music (within the metal genre). Eventually, I also came up with the idea of having guests onboard. But instead of creating something new, I restarted something old. Small details made me choose this path. Not to forget, it was very spontaneous. My logic at the time was that by releasing the singles within the old name, the fanbase was already there. The music was not too different after all. Also, it gave me reasons to talk about the previous albums and continue to boost life in those. There are many reasons I think back on this choice. If we’re going to look at the practical ones, I have learned that to re-brand a band must be more difficult than starting up something new. But hey, the choice is made, and it is too late to turn around now.”

“Fuel the Fire” is available on all digital platforms Spotify, Apple Music.

New GWAR Documentary This Is GWAR Coming Next Month

Shudder, AMC network’s premium streaming service for horror, thriller, and the supernatural, has acquired rights to the “This Is Gwar” documentary. The film gives rare insight into the 30-plus-year career of one of the world’s most outrageous heavy metal bands, known for its grotesque costumed characters and notoriously wild, fluid-soaked stage shows.

“This Is Gwar”, which world-premiered at Fantastic Fest in Austin, Texas and won the 2021 Audience Award at Nightstream, will be available exclusively on Shudder in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand on Thursday, July 21.

“For more than three decades, GWAR has set the standard for heavy metal horror with larger-than-life personas and gore-filled stage shows that were unlike anything anyone had ever seen,” said Shudder general manager Craig Engler. “But even their most ardent fans have never seen them like this, as the band and director Scott Barber reveal in moving detail the literal blood, sweat and tears that have made GWAR the true legends they are today.”

Added GWAR: “GWAR is founded on horror, humor, and heavy metal. Of course, we love Shudder! It’s our favorite. Every movie is like a home movie for us. Are you kidding me?? Monsters, demons, the undead, dinosaurs? Those are our people! GWAR and Shudder. Two terrifying tastes that taste terrifying together.”

null

“This Is Gwar” is the powerful story of the iconic heavy metal art collective, as told by the humans who have fought to keep it alive for over thirty years. The feature documentary includes interviews with the band members, both past and present, and other artists, including Weird Al Yankovic, Thomas Lennon, Alex Winter, Bam Margera and Ethan Embry, including never-before-seen footage of legendary GWAR frontman Dave Brockie(Oderus Urungus).

“This Is Gwar” is directed by Scott Barber(“Orange Years: The Nickelodeon Story”),with producers Tommy Avallone(“Bill Murray Stories”) and Josh Goldbloom (“V/H/S/94”). Executive producers include Bill Parks, Zach Blair, Matthew Helderman and Luke Taylor.

The deal was negotiated by Josh Goldbloom on behalf of the filmmakers, and Emily Gotto, VP, global acquisitions and co-productions, on behalf of Shudder.

Brockie, who fronted GWAR under the name Oderus Urungus, was found dead in his home in Richmond, Virginia in March 2014. According to Virginia’s State Medical Examiner’s Office, he died from acute heroin toxicity by accidental means.

Brockie was last remaining original member of GWAR, which was founded 38 years ago. He was 50 years old.

The satirical metal band earned a following for its macabre, over-the-top costumes, offensive lyrics and graphic, gore-soaked shows, in which the bandmembers performed as the descendants of alien warriors who arrived on Earth to enslave and slaughter the human race.
