Check out the latest track from INUS @inus.official from their upcoming album on @threeoneg which is now streaming over at @brooklynvegan. INUS (aka The Institute for Navigating the Universal Self) is a pre-postapocalyptic, post-honky-tonk-prog-skronk, space Tropicalia, math-lounge powersilence trio from San Diego, California. Poking fun at the failed for-profit universities of yesteryear, the band’s live performance interweaves blistering, calculated bursts of noise with educational slideshows that riff on subversive political commentary, dada-surrealist sci-fi, scathing social critique, fake news, space cults, infomercials, spoofs on the Department of Defense, and shout-outs to corporate sponsors. The result is an unapologetically bold, utterly ridiculous, and serious-as-all-hell multimedia showcase of sophisticated polyrhythms and hog-wild-future-amusement-park timbres with vocals ranging from ring-modded falsetto to rumbling Tuvan throat skronking. INUS was originally formed as a two-piece under the name Innerds in 2011 by guitarist/vocalist Bobby Bray (The Locust, Holy Molar) and drummer Brandon Relf (Sleeping People). Joined by bassist Chad Deal (Phantom Twins) in 2016, Innerds was reborn as INUS and finished the recording of Western Spaghettification. #inus #threeoneg #brooklynvegan #thechainworld #musicpr

Pitiless premiere the video for their cover of "Human Prey" by Terrorizer over at Metal Injection @metal_injection. The video was banned You Tube but is now back up for everyone to check out. The band is an emerging two-piece from the cold, harsh, desolate Canadian metal scene, in this case, Toronto, ON, Canada, comprised of guitarist/bassist/programmer Matt DeMille and lyricist/screamer Christopher J. Gramlich (Vilipend, Ancress). #pitiless #metalinjection #terrorizer #bannedfromyoutube #thechainworld #musicpr
Check out the new Picastro music video, "Mirror Age," premiered today via @selftitledmag ✨✨ Picastro is the long-running project of Toronto-based songwriter Liz Hysen. For new album "Exit" (the first new album in five years), Hysen enlisted guest vocalists – Xiu Xiu's Jamie Stewart and Great Lake Swimmers' Tony Dekker, among others – to sing her songs, described by Pitchfork as "hushed, spectral"... The “Mirror Age” video is a tribute of sorts to artist Michael Snow, director of "Wavelength" (1968), and new album “Exit" is out now on @sgglossolalia #picastro #xiuxiu #greatlakeswimmers #michaelsnow #thechainworld
Check out the music video for new Jonny Couch single "Vertigo" + artwork by Surfbort guitarist David R. Head Jr, premiered today via @ghettoblastermagazine — “From Brooklyn, New York, Jonny Couch makes soulful, synthy anthems, inspired by power-pop and New Romantic greats, like The Cars, Cheap Trick, Nick Lowe, Bryan Ferry, Duran Duran, etc. The charming '80s aesthetic and catchy melodies are sure to tickle the pop sensibilities of any self respecting ’80s devotee." New album “Mystery Man” (out 8/2) was produced by Peter Mavrogeorgis (Grinderman, Sharon Van Etten). @damagedsofamusic #jonnycouch #powerpop #newwave #newromantic #surfbort #thechainworld
Deaf Club @deafclubband is a savage sound bath dripping with sardonicism: a blastbeat-centric hardcore punk assault channeling crust, thrash, and grind (un)sensibilities. Succinct pauses, surreal frequencies and effects, breakneck pace and sharply hurled vocals characterize the band’s aesthetic, which seems as though it is rooted in a sort of nasty-sound-meets-highbrow-message ethos. Fueled by the onslaught of society’s insanity and driven mad by tinnitus, Justin Pearson (The Locust, Dead Cross, Planet B), Brian Amalfitano (ACxDC), Scott Osment (Weak Flesh), Jason Klein (Run With The Hunted), and Leo Ulfelder (Fissure) approach music as an opportunity to confront our collective sicknesses. We’ve got to try to listen, lest we all frolic headfirst towards the bright side of death, dragging this pillaged planet down with us. So whether you think the music is a radical disruption to the airwaves or just headache-inducing noise, you can feel free to tell them the brutal truth-- they can't hear you anyway. Check out the band’s video for “Bright Side of Death” over at @metal_injection or on the Deaf Club socials. #deafclub #threeoneg #metalinjection #thechainworld #acxdc #thelocust #deadcross #fissure #planetb
@kerrangmagazine_ has premiered new NASTIE BAND track "Circle of Knives": "A sound and image that will remind listeners of the wicked, daughter-tempting, devil-worshipping schlock bands of classic ’80s movies. The band revels in chains, leather, and snarling heavy rock that pulls from all corners of metal, goth, and noise, with a hard polish of NYC degeneracy... Think of the soundtrack to an unholy blasphemous rite held in a slum basement in a scene from one of the Death Wish films, and you’ll have some idea of what the collective is going for." Nastie Band's self-titled debut album comes out 7/26 on @sgglossolalia — band members include Faith No More's Roddy Bottum, octogenarian Chris Kachulis, and current/former members of Merchandise, Pollution, Villains, Cream Abdul Babar, and more. #nastieband #faithnomore #heavymetal #thechainworld
@thenumber12lookslikeyou returns with its first new album in 10 years: Wild Gods. (Out 9/20 on Overlord Music!) First single “Ruin the Smile” is now streaming — check out the awesome lyric vid on Youtube today. The band embarks on a headlining tour of the US and Canada in October (w/ God Mother and Pound)... The Number Twelve Looks Like You made its name as a standout of the mid-'00s mathcore scene, bashing out wildly adventurous, technical music, imbued with the musicality of progressive metal and the urgency of screamo. After a long hiatus, they returned in 2016 — revitalized, having welcomed two new members into the fold, The Number Twelve toured with the likes of The Dillinger Escape Plan and even brought their noise to Russia for the first time. An absolute feast for the ears, new album Wild Gods shows the band to be an evolved, supercharged version of its former self... Frontman Jesse Korman says: “The band ended somewhat abruptly... So as the years went on, Alex and I felt like we never got to write some songs that we knew had to be written – that next sound, that next wild record that would push us even more out of our comfort zones and into new waters. We had built such a foundation, such an amazing following, and before we got too old, we knew we should give this one more big shot. To really make a statement for the world to remember us by." #thenumbertwelvelookslikeyou #wildgods #screamo #mathcore #prog #dillingerescapeplan #thechainworld
The most recent Cult and Culture Podcast from Planet B @planetbband is now streaming over at BrooklynVegan. Episode 12 features David Scott Stone @sirdss, a musician who has been a member of, collaborated with, or toured in an eclectic catalog of bands such as The Melvins, LCD Soundsystem, The Locust, Unwound, Fantomas, Jello Biafra, Get Hustle, and others. Known for his homemade or self-modified instruments, SirDSS (his moniker) creates wonderfully experimental music with great enthusiasm for gear and the technicalities of music, which is highlighted in his conversation with Cult and Culture’s Justin and Luke. Just as much so, his affinity for astrology, articulate nature, and all-around kindness is evident as the trio discuss anything from old memories of Southern California punk scenes to expanding musical futures and searching for sincerity in art. Catch up on all episodes of Cult and Culture podcast, via iTunes, or through Three One G’s Soundcloud. #cultandculture #planetb #threeoneg #davidscottstone #podcast #melvins #thelocust #lcdsoundsystem #jellobiafra #fantomas #brooklynvegan #thechainworld

The new @unnaturalways video makes its debut today via @cvltnation — Fronted by guitarist/vocalist Ava Mendoza, Unnatural Ways "brings together noise, prog, post-punk, metal, free jazz and genres yet to be defined to make sounds that will captivate you and maybe make your head explode!" — Mendoza says: “The song is about a flying saucer named Molly who has a family but runs away from them, blasting into outer space and leaving them and her home planet behind...” — The latest Unnatural Ways album, "The Paranoia Party," is out now on @sgglossolalia and the band plays shows across the US and Canada this summer... #unnaturalways #avamendoza #postpunk #progrock #freejazz #guitarist #aliens #thechainworld

"Darkwave is experiencing an incredible renaissance right now, in part due to stylish and talented duos like Drab Majesty... Another rising act in the genre is Chicago's @wingtipschicago, the devastating twosome of Vincent Segretario and Hannah Avalon." So says @revolvermag who have premiered the music video for the band’s absolutely bangin’ new single “Deaf Pursuit”! In line with The Cure and early, synth-pop Ministry, Chicago duo Wingtips looks and sounds like a million bucks (and that's in 1980s dollars, they were worth more back then!) Crank “Deaf Pursuit” and look for debut full-length album “Exposure Therapy" — out 8/23 on @artoffact_records! Massive North American touring kicks off in August, including Cold Waves VIII Festival and more... #wingtips #goth #darkwave #synthpop #chicago #thecure #ministry #drabmajesty #thechainworld
Epic new music is here from the mighty @multicultband — go to multicult.bandcamp.com to stream new song "Grieflex" now, from upcoming album "Simultaneity Now,” the band's 5th full-length album, out 8/2 on @learningcurverecords! A cold, mechanical base – distorted bass and machine-like drums, courtesy of Rebecca Burchette (ex-Fight Amp) and Jake Cregger (Triac, Backslider) – evokes the Big Black school of punishment or the industrial-grade noise-rock of New Yorkers like Cop Shoot Cop... But on top of that, guitarist/vocalist Nick Skrobisz (The Wayward) brings melodic rapture and soul-baring screams. It is this mix of cold and warm, of inhuman and human, that makes Multicult one of the great bands of today. #multicult #baltimore #noiserock #bigblack #copshootcop #gangoffour #thechainworld

o13 is the dark electronic project of Live Skull members Mark C and Kent Heine – check out the video for new track "Thirty Echoes" now via CVLT Nation! o13's sound is gentle yet ominous... Mark C says the new song is "a response to a news report, of a crimes-against-humanity trial in which the defendant was found guilty on multiple counts, the word guilty echoing out thirty times in the court room..." o13's sophomore album "The Wild Child Takes Charge" is now complete – more details soon. Meanwhile, Live Skull has reformed and is finishing work on its first new album since 1989, to be released this year on Bronson Recordings! “Of the scowling noise-rockers peppering downtown Manhattan throughout the 80s, Live Skull was the leanest and meanest around." –VICE #o13 #liveskull #noiserock #nowave #postpunk #cvltnation #nyc #thechainworld
New @hex_machine_ album “Cave Painting” is now streaming in full via @newnoisemagazine — heavy, jagged noise-rock of the Melvins/Jesus Lizard school brushes up against moody guitars and dramatic vocals nodding to '80s influences like Killing Joke, Psychedelic Furs, and Cocteau Twins! A truly unique slab of sound, marking the return of this long-running Richmond VA band, 2/3 of whom put in some years as members of Today Is The Day... #hexmachine #richmond #noiserock #melvins #jesuslizard #killingjoke #psychedelicfurs #cocteautwins #thechainworld
