Hammerfall have released a visualizer for their brand new single, "Venerate Me", which features a special guest appearance from legendary metal vocalist King Diamond.

Guitarist Oscar Dronjak had this to say about the new song, "The second single is here, and I'm very, very proud of it! The music was written during the darkest, most uninspiring days of the pandemic and still came out as one of the strongest on the whole album. Joacim's fantastic lyric idea makes this track really stand out, and the special guest appearance towards the end really pushes it over the edge!" (read more)

Chicago based musician Peter Joly recently released his new album, "Easy Has Never Been the Way," and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the song "Friend". Here is the story:

In 2001 my best friend, best man [at my wedding] and music collaborator killed himself. We had celebrated life and music together but I couldn't bring myself to attend his memorial service. I was angry. I will always feel shameful of that. In a "2001 moment" I wrote and recorded the song "Peter Flynn" in defiance of who knows what. Twenty years removed and with two decades of perspective, I wrote another song about that same friend. I titled it "Friend." This most recent song addresses a painful truth: sometimes people take their own lives. Those left behind wish, in retrospect, [that] they had said this or that and had prevented such horror. But, what's done is done. Hindsight is pointless. Life is beautiful. (continue)
