NEW RELEASES for October 19, 2018: Bohemian Rhapsody Original soundtrack to the 2018 motion picture. Greta Van Fleet: Anthem of the Peaceful Army from the critically acclaimed rockers. Greta Van Fleet recently set a record as the first band in 15 years to hit 1 airplay at Active Rock radio with two consecutive singles. Greta Van Fleet formed in 2012 in Frankenmuth, Michigan. The band was signed to Lava Records in March 2017 and a month later, they released their debut studio EP, Black Smoke Rising. A second EP From the Fires, containing the four songs from Black Smoke Rising and four new songs, was released on November 10, 2017. Disturbed unwaveringly cling to the uncompromising spirit that solidified them as a history-making force, while boldly progressing at the same time. This record is truly unique, and very special to us, and we can only hope that upon listening to it, that the world will feel the same. In 2012, King released her debut EP, The Elle King EP, on RCA. She released her debut album, Love Stuff on February 17, 2015. The album earned her two Grammy Award nominations. King has toured with acts such as Of Monsters and Men, Train, James Bay singer , The Dixie Chicks, and Michael Kiwanuka. She is the daughter of actor and comedian Rob Schneider and former model London King. The album features 13 live versions of songs from their last three critically acclaimed, award-winning studio albums — Southeasten 2013 , Something More Than Free 2015 , The Nashville Sound 2017. Soulfly: Ritual Both ancient and modern cultures rely heavily on rituals. Perhaps more than any other art form, ceremonious behavior defines heavy metal. Thousands of fans worship at the altar of a speaker or congregate in person for the sermon of a live show. Two decades into their storied career, Soulfly continue to engender near cultish zeal with each subsequent album and tour. Formed in 1997, Soulfly has become a mainstay in contemporary heavy metal. Led by former Sepultura vocalist Max Cavalera, Soulfly has released 10 full-length albums with combined sales of over 1MILLION records. Mixing many styles of metal with Brazilian tribal, world music and punk, Soulfly are known for crafting something completely unique in the modern heavy music landscape. Revisiting and reimagining 13 songs from her past work, spanning 1970-2009, the lyrics and messages are still pertinent-perhaps even more pertinent-in 2018. Recent US presidents and many of our world leaders have never served in the military, yet they continually nourish and serve the corporate-infused military industrial complex, keeping the world in a perpetual warfare. Warzone further builds the legacy of an artist unparalleled in her unique and singular vision. Neneh Cherry: Broken Politics How do we conduct ourselves in extraordinary times? By what metric do we judge our own capacity to make change? In an era where the signal-to-noise ratio is more uneven than ever, what are the measures we must take to retain and remember our own personhood? Look Now is an outstanding 12-strong addition to his song catalog. The album was co-produced by Elvis and Sebastian Krys — the Latin Grammy Producer of the Year for 2007 and 2015, whose love and understanding of music spans both hemispheres. Travis Scott: Astroworld the third studio album by rapper Travis Scott. The album follows his second studio album Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight 2016 , and his collaborative album Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho 2017 with Quavo. The album features guest vocals from Kid Cudi, Frank Ocean, Drake, The Weeknd, James Blake, Swae Lee, Gunna, Nav, 21 Savage, Quavo, Takeoff, Juice Wrld, Sheck Wes and Don Toliver, among others. Production was handled by multiple high-profile producers, including Mike Dean, Allen Ritter, Hit-Boy, WondaGurl, Tay Keith, Tame Impala, Frank Dukes, Sonny Digital and Thundercat. Atreyu: In Our Wake Following a short hiatus, Atreyu returned firing on all cylinders with Long Live during 2015. It crashed the Top 30 of the Billboard Top 200 and earned widespread acclaim. The band sold out countless headline shows in addition to sharing the stage with everyone from Slipknot to Linkin Park. After a two-year tour cycle for Long Live, Atreyu regrouped in Southern California for what would become offering number seven, reuniting with producer John Feldmann who famously helmed Lead Sails Paper Anchor. Atreyu has been described as metalcore and post-hardcore. Recorded at the legendary Sunset Sound studio in Los Angeles, Wasteland boasts the kind of irresistibly raw and exuberant sound that only the greatest bands can generate. Bit Logic is a different sort of album for the St. Louis natives and shows them at their most self-aware, self-challenging, and socially alert. Kurt Vile: Bottle It In the first solo album in three years from the acclaimed indie musician. The record was produced by Kurt Vile, the Violators Rob Laakso, Kyle Spence, and Jesse Trbovich , Peter Katis, Shawn Everett, and Rob Schnapf. Colter Wall: Songs Of The Plain After two years of relentless touring, Colter Wall wanted to make an album about home. Real magic happens when a cranked guitar chord, wailing harmonica, saucy beat, and soulful vocal conjure up a psychedelic scene, a warm family memory, or a romance-gone-wrong or -right, for that matter. What do you see? A familiar figure; a stranger; a monster? What we forget to realize is that the image that reflects is just an illusion. Like the world, we are made up of fictions of things people tell us. How we should dress, what we should believe in, what type of stock to invest in, how we should vote. What is our free will, if we trudge across tracks already traveled? If there is nothing else we control; nothing else new, we are at least in control of ourselves; can make our paths novel and undefined; shatter categories, stereotypes, and roles. Do what we want to do, think freely and not how others tell us to-live beneath the surface of things. Now look at the mirror again. What do you see? Only you are the master of what comes next. Graham Parker: Cloud Symbols The inimitable Graham Parker is back with a new album entitled Cloud Symbols. With his Rumour packed away, Graham enlists a new gang, The Goldtops Martin Belmont, Geraint Watkins, Simon Edwards and Roy Dodds , on this record who, incidentally feature former Rumour member Martin Belmont. Additionally, The Rumour Brassalso feature on six of the tracks. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Laughing Gravy: Gram Parsons and Beyond!
