atmospheric rock

For many who lived through it, 2020 will forever be the year that time stopped. Especially for those who thrive in packed, sweaty environment – musicians, concertgoers, even humble record label operators – this led to some pretty fundamental changes in the way we spent our time.

Quiet Panic has signed LA’s acclaimed Tennis System and is unveiling the new single and music video for “Truth Hurts”, the first track off the forthcoming release “Autophobia”, scheduled for release in Summer 2021.

Written and recorded entirely during the pandemic, “Autophobia” is Tennis System’s first new full-length since 2019’s “Lovesick” and marks a thrilling new chapter and a logical shift in sound for the project, led by guitarist/vocalist Matty Taylor.

Swedish multi-instrumentalist Per Wiberg will release his brilliant new solo EP, “All is Well in the Land of the Living, But for the Rest of Us... Lights Out”, on May 14th, 2021, via Despotz Records.
 

World-renowned guitar virtuoso, Joe Satriani, has rescheduled his Shapeshifting European & UK Tour to Spring 2022, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Tickets for his April and May 2021 UK “Shapeshifting” tour dates remain valid for the rescheduled Spring 2022 dates.

Tickets are available here and here. See all dates below.

Romanian psychedelic doom and post-rock collective Methadone Skies has announced the details of their upcoming, fifth studio album, entitled “Retrofuture Caveman”, which is slated for a released on May 7th, 2021.

Coming off a well-deserved break after the dissolution of the band Nosense (RIP), 2 of its former members get together and decide to form Pulse.

With more energy, maturity and musical experience, Carlos Belmont and Carlos Torres begin to compose their first album “ImPulse”, 7 songs with nostalgic and progressive overtones, that will be released on April 2nd, 2021, via Wormholedeath worldwide.

Band Statement:

Legendary Rock Band Angel is set to start recording a brand new album on Cleopatra Records. This will be the second album on Cleopatra and a follow up to the very successful album “Risen” released in 2019. Founding members Punky Meadows and Frank DiMino have been working with new partner and band member, guitarist Danny Farrow to write and craft the new songs.

Minimalism and instinct, structure/freedom and meticulous timing form the cornerstones of Big|Brave’s precise, rhythmical sound.

Lyrically, the new album “Vital” explores the weight of race and gender, endurance and navigating other people’s behaviours, observation and protest. The band further commented “this album involves what it means navigating the outside world in a racialized body and what it does to the psyche as a whole while exploring individual worth within this reality”.
 

Napalm Records is pleased to welcome an outstanding new post rock discovery to its growing roster. Germany’s There’s A Light has just inked a worldwide record deal with the premier rock and metal label!

Formed in 2014 by guitarist/songwriter Jessica Murillo; drummer Mark Carcamo and bassist Chris Dunaway, there’s no question that Cactus Flowers’ star has been in the ascension for quite some time.
 
Since the release of their beguiling debut album Incantations in 2019, the Houstonians have continued to conjure, inspire and craft an irresistible identity around lush cadences, pedal soaked riffs, and Murillo’s impassioned vocals.
