DANNY WORSNOP ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE UK IN-STORE PERFORMANCES

Danny Worsnop, the newly-returned frontman for UK metalcore pioneers ASKING ALEXANDRIA, has announced two special in-store performances ahead of the release of his debut solo album.

Due to be released on February 17th worldwide, 'The Long Road Home' sees a slight musical departure from Danny's previous work with ASKING ALEXANDRIA, now forging a deeper and often darker path through the British-born, Nashville-based musician's mind and displaying a truly stunning singing voice only hinted at in his previous work.

UK fans will be able to celebrate the upcoming release with Danny himself at two exclusive, intimate performances in Leeds and Kingston-upon-Thames shortly before the album's launch.

SINGAPOREAN GRINDCORE TRIO WORMROT SPEAK OUT OVER CONCERNS OF TOURING DONALD TRUMP'S AMERICA

Singapore grindcore outfit WORMROT have expressed "disbelief and concern" over Donald Trump's election and the problems which might face them entering the United States for their upcoming 2017 tour dates.  WORMROT hail from Singapore (a country with a large Muslim population) and play a blistering brand of grindcore - a genre notorious for being highly politicised - with latest album 'Voices' featuring tracks such as "The 1st World Syndrome", "Fake Moral Machine" and "Compassion Is Dead".  Donald Trump infamously called for "a complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States" during his election campaign.

WORMROT guitarist Rasyid said:

"I'm still in disbelief that this actually happened.  How did they get the pre-election estimates so wrong?  Didn't he sabotage himself out of the race numerous times?  Throughout the whole campaign you hear nothing but how he fucked himself over with the shameless things he's said, accompanied by violent repercussions and reactions from his own supporters, and yet here we are looking at an almost 50/50 hairline (hah) win.

"We're a little concerned how it's gonna affect our well-being, but a little part of me wants to experience America as it is right now.  Who knows, we might be deported back upon arrival (some people back home would be happy to see that) but we shouldn't cower at the first sign of danger.  Things have gotten more interesting to say the least.  It's like an episode of Black Mirror, proving that reality can be scarier than fiction.

"We wish all Americans to stay safe and keep a lookout for each other, especially your friends of colour and LGBTQ.  Never discount their experiences, never say they're overreacting.  You can't see or imagine mental scars and how it'll negatively affect individuals in the long run.  The least you can do for each other now is to listen.

"I've learned from living in Singapore that you don't have to love your country to protect the ones you love.  Whatever's happening in your country, whoever is elected to run/ruin the nation, your devotion is to your friends and family."

WORMROT are due to tour the USA in May/June, including an appearance at Maryland Deathfest in Baltimore.

May 26 - Baltimore, MD - Baltimore Soundstage
Jun. 02 - Mesa, AZ - 1FEST
Jun. 03 - Los Angeles, CA - 1FEST
Jun. 04 - Oakland, CA - 1FEST

Prior to that, WORMROT will be playing the following gigs across Europe:

Feb. 22 - Antwerp, Belgium - Het Bos
Feb. 23 - London, UK - The Underworld
Feb. 24 - Manchester, UK - Rebellion
Feb. 25 - Leeds, UK - Temple of Boom
Feb. 27 - Hamburg, Germany - Hafenklang
Feb. 28 - Berlin, Germany - Cassiopeia
Mar. 01 - Vienna, Austria - Viper Room
Mar. 03 - Tilburg, Netherlands - Netherlands Death Fest

WAKRAT: SELF-TITLED DEBUT ALBUM OUT NOW ON DIGITAL TO COINCIDE WITH U.S. PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

The self-titled debut album from politically-charged punk rock trio WAKRAT is out now worldwide on digital platforms.

The hard-hitting debut is one of the most anticipated punk records of the year and has been timed to coincide with the US presidential election with its songs fuelled by political dissent, social commentary and an undiminished subversion and questioning of authority.

Self-described as two French nationals and one American anarchist, WAKRAT are promising to shake up the system and attack modern music with their contemporary take on aggressive punk rock.  The band features Tim Commerford of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE fame on vocals and bass, with Mathias Wakrat on drums and Laurent Grangeon on guitar and vocals.

Get WAKRAT's self-titled debut album now on iTunes at http://bit.ly/wakrat-itunes

The album is due to be released on physical formats this Friday, November 11th, including ultra-limited edition signed stencil vinyl, coloured vinyl, CD and merch bundles.  Reserve your copy now at http://www.earache.com/wakrat

Back in July, WAKRAT famously claimed Parliament Square in London as their own independent sovereign state in an audacious protest against the political elite.  The process was documented for the band's "Generation Fucked" music video, which opens with an iconic red double-decker bus driving around central London with #GenerationFucked plastered on the side before descending on Parliament Square to make a bold statement on one of the most politically-charged patches of turf in the world.

WAKRAT: SIGN UP TO BE A CITIZEN OF 'REPUBLIC OF WAKRAT' AND HEAR DEBUT ALBUM BEFORE ANYONE ELSE

One of the most anticipated punk records of the year is nearly upon us and now you can listen to the full album for free (from Monday) by signing up to become a citizen of the new protest state 'Republic of Wakrat'.

In the words of Tim Commerford (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, PROPHETS OF RAGE), bassist and frontman of WAKRAT, the protest state was formed to "throw a wrench in the establishment" and to offer an alternative to people who have become disillusioned with corrupt and elitist governments around the world, as explained in the constitution:

"The current system is oppressive and elitist, promoting racist ideologies in order to push a self-serving agenda whilst an entire generation is put in jeopardy.  We condemn this behavior and Republic of Wakrat exists to expose it."

You can watch this audacious protest unfold in WAKRAT's official video for the track "Generation Fucked" at http://youtu.be/kkc2jhdFJXU

Explaining the legality of the daring manoeuvre on their website, the band highlight an ancient loophole which they say gives them the authority to start the Republic of Wakrat on what was formerly known as Parliament Square.  The land now known as Westminster is actually an island called Thorney Island.  Originally the property of King Offa back in the 700s, WAKRAT claim that it has never been officially claimed by anyone else: "this area remains the property of King Offa, Mercian King under his charter which is in [Westminster] Abbey."

Self-described as two French nationals and one American anarchist, WAKRAT are promising to shake up the system and attack modern music with their contemporary take on aggressive punk rock.  Notorious for his infamous bass lines in RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, Commerford fronts WAKRAT on vocals and bass over a tight mix of punchy, rhythmic and dynamic punk rock, fuelled by political dissent, social commentary and an undiminished subversion and questioning of authority.

Sign up to be a citizen at http://www.republicofwakrat.com and receive a link to hear the album on Monday, November 7th, the eve of the US Election.  The album will be available digitally from November 8th and physically from November 11th.  Pre-order the signed CD and vinyl now at http://www.earache.com/wakrat

The album is also available to pre-order on iTunes including instant downloads of "Generation Fucked" and "Sober Addiction" at http://bit.ly/wakrat-itunes

DANNY WORSNOP PREMIERES 'MEXICO' VIDEO ON CLASSIC ROCK

Danny Worsnop, the newly-returned frontman for UK metalcore pioneers ASKING ALEXANDRIA, has released the first single and video from his upcoming debut solo album, 'The Long Road Home'.

The official video for "Mexico" was filmed with director Blake Judd and sees the singer escaping from the toils of life with the help of sunshine, sexy cars, ice cold beer and some scantily-clad companions.

Watch the "Mexico" video premiere now on Classic Rock at http://bit.ly/2evuo19

Danny Worsnop comments: "The new single, Mexico, came out of nowhere for me.  I was on tour with my rock act We Are Harlot, in a bar in Columbus, Ohio and that first verse just jumped right out of my eighteenth glass of Jameson and right into my mind.  Knowing my brain, I immediately excused myself and waited for the lightning to strike.  I then proceeded to pace outside the bar singing into my phone until the song was done, which was probably about 20 minutes later.

"I had the video in my head from that exact moment and was very excited to realize it.  I had already written the treatment when I was introduced to Blake Judd, with whom I worked at getting what was in my mind onto film.  He was very open to letting me take the reins which was very important to me, and we are already discussing what we're doing together next.

"The song was so much fun to write, record, and film, which is appropriate as however much it is in ways about being exhausted and done with one's reality, it is at its core a fun, upbeat song about letting loose.  Something we all need to do every once in a while."

'The Lond Road Home' is due to be released worldwide on February 17th and is available to pre-order now on limited edition signed CD and coloured vinyl, along with a range of merch bundles.  Reserve your copy now at http://www.earache.com/danny

The album is also available to pre-order now on iTunes, including an instant download of "Mexico", at http://bit.ly/longroadhome-itunes

'The Long Road Home' sees a slight musical departure from Danny's previous work with ASKING ALEXANDRIA, now forging a deeper and often darker path through the British-born, Nashville-based musician's mind and displaying a truly stunning singing voice only hinted at in his previous work.

Long-time fans will see a much more personal and reflective side of Danny's, with brutally honest lyrical themes ranging from loss and heartache to Danny's past (and often public) struggles with drugs and alcohol.  Backed by authentic, blues-soaked outlaw country, the album is also interspersed with a few more upbeat tracks, showing that Danny's ability to craft catchy melodies which will have listeners singing along in no time is still very much alive and well.

EARACHE RECORDS ACQUIRES NACHTMYSTIUM BACK-CATALOGUE TITLES

Long-standing British independent record label Earache Records has acquired the majority of back-catalogue titles from American psychedelic black metal band NACHTMYSTIUM.

Formed by notorious frontman Blake Judd in Illinois in 2000, NACHTMYSTIUM stormed onto the scene with their raw, true-to-the-roots black metal sound, releasing their debut full-length 'Reign of the Malicious' in 2002.  Following the band's second studio album, 2004's 'Demise', NACHTMYSTIUM expanded their style to incorporate more psychedelic elements, drawing influence from groups such as BLACK SABBATH and leading to comparisons as a darker, heavier PINK FLOYD.

Earache's new deal with NACHTMYSTIUM includes the rights to five of the band's studio albums, four EPs, a demos collection, and a remixes and rarities album which was previously only released on YouTube.

Earache's Al Dawson comments: "We've been fans of Blake's music for a long time now and I am excited in the fact that we are now the official home of his extensive catalog of some of the finest American black metal ever."

NACHTMYSTIUM frontman and founding member Blake Judd comments: "I am proud to announce a new cooperation in the lengthy release history of Nachtmystium.  I have teamed up with the folks at the legendary, UK-based metal label, Earache Records, to reissue the majority of Nachtmystium's back catalog recordings.  Earache will also be releasing a brand new compilation LP of unreleased studio tracks, covers and remixes, titled 'Retox'.  Some of the back catalog titles will also feature brand new artwork, never-before-seen photographs, and all albums will feature extensive liner notes I have written specifically for each release.  These specific reissues will stand as the final versions of these recordings to be released, so I have worked closely with each artist featured on these releases and am currently working closely with Earache's production department to ensure that these reissues will honor each record appropriately and that we have created something special for the fans who choose to purchase these new (and final) versions of these albums and EPs."

Regarding the musician's previous and widely-publicised personal issues, Judd adds: "Many people on the internet, understandably due to some issues that occurred in the past that I am very ashamed of, will be quick to jump on me personally and most likely Earache as well for announcing new releases without having directly addressed and taken action regarding the past issues mentioned above.  Of course, what is being referred to here, is the issue of unfulfilled orders.  When these releases have been actually scheduled and given proper release dates, another press release will go out and within this will be an e-mail address created specifically for this project and detailed instructions on how to receive records/CDs from me directly if you, at any point in time, ordered a record, t-shirt, etc. and did not receive the item(s).  More information concerning this will be in the press release announcing the official release dates for these recordings.

"Thank you all for your patience and I do hope to make things right with everyone I can who fell victim to my addiction issues by not receiving orders for music or merchandise.  I intend on giving away every single record and CD I receive of these reissues if that's what it takes to make things right with the fans whom I wronged and did not fulfil orders for."

The full list of NACHTMYSTIUM titles acquired by Earache is as follows:

Reign of the Malicious
Nachtmystium (EP)
The First Attacks - Demos 2000-2001
Demise
Eulogy IV (EP)
Instinct: Decay
Worldfall (EP)
Assassins: Black Meddle, Pt. I
Doomsday Derelicts (EP)
Addicst: Black Meddle, Pt. II
Retox: Remixes and Rarities

Listen to the song "Bones" from the 'Doomsday Derelicts' EP at http://youtu.be/IsrAcQpmgN8

Lookout for the Earache re-releases of these titles on digital platforms in the coming weeks.

DANNY WORSNOP SIGNS TO EARACHE; DEBUT SOLO ALBUM DETAILS AND PRE-ORDER AVAILABLE

Danny Worsnop, the newly-returned frontman for UK metalcore pioneers ASKING ALEXANDRIA, has signed a worldwide record deal with UK-based independent label Earache Records for his upcoming debut solo album.

Titled 'The Long Road Home', Danny's first solo release sees a slight musical departure from his previous work with ASKING ALEXANDRIA, now forging a deeper and often darker path through the British-born, Nashville-based musician's mind and displaying a truly stunning singing voice only hinted at in his previous work.

Long-time fans will see a much more personal and reflective side of Danny's, with brutally honest lyrical themes ranging from loss and heartache to Danny's past (and often public) struggles with drugs and alcohol.  Backed by authentic, blues-soaked outlaw country, the album is also interspersed with a few more upbeat tracks, showing that Danny's ability to craft catchy melodies which will have listeners singing along in no time is still very much alive and well.

Danny Worsnop comments: "With the help of some incredible and very talented people, I am pleased to announce that in 2017 I will be releasing my first album as a solo artist.  It has been an emotional roller-coaster creating these songs, but the end result has left me humbled, proud, and more excited about a project than I ever have been in my life.  Writing as deep and personal as I have on this record brought up a lot inside me from my years, allowing me to grow and move on from demons I didn't even acknowledge having.  I've done everything in my power to keep this album honest and pure, and it gives me chills every time I hear it.  I'm beyond proud of what I've made and cannot wait to share it with the world.  These songs are a reflection of my soul, and I hope you all enjoy them.  See you on the other side!"

On his return to the band he founded: "It was a long week pondering the decision and figuring out what the right thing to do was.  After all, my album 'The Long Road Home' is about to release, which is of course my primary focus."

'The Long Road Home' is due to be released on February 17th, with the album's first single, "Mexico", launching on November 1st alongside a brand new music video.  Watch a behind-the-scenes preview now at http://youtu.be/aKCIePTwEtU

WORMROT: NEW ALBUM 'VOICES' OUT NOW

'Voices', the brand new album from Singaporean grindcore trio WORMROT, is out now worldwide.

Over five years since the band's last full-length release - 2011's 'Dirge' - WORMROT are finally back with the same intensity which put them comfortably alongside the likes of NAPALM DEATH, TERRORIZER, BRUTAL TRUTH and the rest of the grindcore elite.

'Voices' features 20 raging new tracks and is the first release to feature the band's new drummer, Vijesh, who brings a fresh and fitting sound to one of the most original bands in the grindcore scene.  Combined with guitarist Rasyid's godlike grind riffage and frontman Arif's distinct vocals switching effortlessly between deep guttural growls and rasping screams, the band's third full-length goes far beyond expectations from a band that can seemingly do no wrong.

ROLLING STONE PREMIERES NEW WAKRAT SINGLE "SOBER ADDICTION"

Punk rock trio WAKRAT are on a mission to deliver this year's most unapologetic, uncensored and outspoken album of 2016!

Recorded at BlakCole Studio over the last year and produced by the band along with co-producer Erik Colvin, the self-titled, debut LP features new single "Sober Addiction" which is now streaming on RollingStone.com.  Listen to the track at http://rol.st/2buFq5e

'Wakrat' will be digitally released on November 8th to coincide with the date of the US General Election Day, with the album being made available physically (CD and vinyl with several limited edition packages) worldwide on November 11th on Earache Records.

Tim Commerford (RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, PROPHETS OF RAGE) fronts the trio on vocals and bass, along with Laurent Grangeon (guitar and vocals) and band namesake Mathias Wakrat (drums) to formulate a solid mix of punchy, rhythmic and dynamic punk rock.  The 9-track collection hits its apex of bruising assault lyrics that battled cry of societal angst within songs like "Generation Fucked" [LINK TO VIDEO].  The song and #GenerationFucked helped to establish the Republic of Wakrat [INSERT LINK] - as the band recently claimed Parliament Square in London as their own sovereign state, which took place last month in an audacious protest designed to expose the failings of the current political system.  Hundreds of supporters descended on what was formerly known as Parliament Square to join in the protest with WAKRAT.  On the flip side of the album being fueled by political dissent and questioning of authority, the project also captures some heartfelt personal issues at the forefront of tracks like current single "Sober Addiction", that is lyrically about missed opportunities.  The debut's raw delivery is surely set to shock the system of its listeners.

Pre-order 'Wakrat' now on ultra-limited, hand-stencilled and signed vinyl, signed CD and coloured vinyl, regular CD and vinyl, and t-shirt bundles at http://www.earache.com/wakrat

The album is also available to pre-order now on iTunes, including an instant download of "Generation Fucked", at http://bit.ly/wakrat-itunes
