Guitarist Alex Alereza said: “Writing for this release began in the midst of constant touring and right after bringing on a new vocal duo, so we found ourselves in new territories both in terms of pace and creative process. And that ended up being a good thing! We had a blast making this together and hope everyone enjoys these songs as much as we do. And for the Nekro fans that have been with us for a very long time, we decided to include live recordings of five Nekro classics!”

Foo Fighters will release new album Your Favorite Toy on April 24.
The band also released the title track as a single. Dave Grohl said of the track: “’Your Favorite Toy’ really was the key that unlocked the tone and energetic direction of the new album. We stumbled upon it after experimenting with different sounds and dynamics for over a year, and the day it took shape I knew that we had to follow its lead. It was the fuse to the powder keg of songs we wound up recording for this record. It feels new.”

Tongues Of Fire will release their self-titled album on May 13 through Godless America!
Lowell Hobbs said: “This new record isn’t trying to give any answers but instead captures an experience shared by many. It’s about the struggle to stay afloat and remain sane in America. ‘Superficial’ is a response to the endless torrent of surface level media that dominates our every waking moment.”
