Swedish hard-rocking riff machine Blister Brigade is set to release their third studio album ‘Slugfest Supreme‘ on February 21st 2020 by Inverse Records.
The band have released a first single ‘Venomous Twister‘ along with music video.
The band commented on the ‘Venomous Twister‘ single:
“The track kinda represents our new “sound” which is a bit harder than on previous records.”
‘Slugfest Supreme‘ is the third album by Swedish hard-rock´n´rollers Blister Brigade. This eleven-track album is a riff-based, hard hitting and heavy creation that blends classic hard rock with razorsharp heavy metal. With powerful and edgy tunes, Blister Brigade has turned up the heat on an already fiery sound and recorded their best and most relentless album up to date. ‘Slugfest Supreme‘ contains both fast and heavy songs and also more mellow and acoustic material witch makes the album varying without losing any focus on the bands distinct sound.
Blister Brigade offers simply a pure lethal dose of Swedish street metal.

Earlier this year THE WILD! turned up the heat a new video, ‘Playing With Fire‘, which masterfully translates their hard-boiled poetry of the streets into a visually striking aesthetic of noir heroes.
A road paved by fast times and loose morals on the pursuit of personal freedom gave THE WILD! their sound. While always remaining true to their name, it’s their never-say-die attitude that’s proven them to be one of the strongest up and coming rock bands on the market today.
Without a record label, booking agent, or paid promotional team, in 2015 THE WILD! saw their first single, ‘Roadhouse,’ on the Active Rock radio charts in their native country of Canada. This gained them their agent, Ralph James and the interest of Mike Fraser, who was offered Villain’s ’65 Cadillac Deville in lieu of a label budget to make their first record. As a small but rabid fanbase grew, the band made a deal with North America’s biggest indie label, Entertainment One.
THE WILD!’s debut album, ‘GxDxWxB‘, produced the Active Rock radio hit ‘Slow Burn,’ which peaked at Number 5 in Canada while ‘Straight to Hell‘ and ‘What About You?‘ both cracked the Top 20. During this time, the band headlined their own tours and supported Buckcherry, Godsmack, Korn, Rise Against, Wolfmother and more.
In 2017, the band’s second album, ‘Wild At Heart‘, knocked Metallica out of the Number 2 spot on the iTunes Rock Charts when it debuted. ‘Ready to Roll‘ reached Number 4 at Active Rock in Canada and garnered the attention of legendary rock radio DJ and TV personality Eddie Trunk as he spun the song on his syndicated show broadcasted to nearly 40 American radio stations. The band then announced spots on major US rock festivals Carolina Rebellion and Welcome To Rockville. Both headline and support tours followed alongside the likes of Airbourne, Steel Panther and Rose Tattoo as the band continued to travel across North America before later heading overseas for the first time. On their first tour in Europe, the band sold 600 records in just 9 shows. With the demand of their growing fan base overseas, THE WILD! would make their way back to Europe two more times that year.
THE WILD! set 2019 ablaze with appearances on the European Full Metal Cruise, Wacken Open Air, Sweden Rock, and the UK’s Steelhouse Festival. THE WILD! then return to Europe for another headline tour as well as more dates supporting Rose Tattoo, along with a fall Canadian tour run.
This is a band making their name the old-fashioned way, earning their stripes night after night through hard work on the road. From their home in Canada to stages across America and Europe, THE WILD! are here to give rock fans something very real. If you like straightforward, no-bullsh*t rock and roll, THE WILD! is here to deliver.

Mikael Erlandsson from Gothenburg is one of the best singers/songwriters in Sweden today. Between 2006-2018 he was the frontman in the Swedish super group Secret Service on live tours all over the world.
He has recorded five successful solo albums and together with the fantastic guitar player Andy Malecek from the successful German hard rock band Fair Warning he thought of putting a band together. Ian Haugland (d), Mic Michaeli (keys) and John Leven (b) of Europe-fame were asked if they were interested to join – which they did, and the band Last Autum’s Dream was born in 2003. The self-titled debut album was produced by Claes Andreasson and was a great success.
Then the band went on releasing another 14 albums with different line-ups with great musicians like Jamie Borger (d, Treat), Marcel Jacob (b, Talisman) and they all had an impact of the band’s development.
They toured Japan, England and Germany but decided to take a break in 2018.
Then Mikael formed this new group: AUTUMN´S CHILD.
The line-up apart from Mikael Erlandsson: Jona Tee on Keyboard from Swedish melodic sensation H.E.A.T., Robban Bäck, former drummer of Eclipse and currently with Swedish rock band Mustasch, Claes Andreasson from Swedish Westcoast/AOR band Heartbreak Radio. He also produced the first LAD album and “Winter in Paradise“ and “Saturn Skyline“ for LAD as well and finally on guitar: the amazing Pontus Åkesson from the prog rock band Moon Safari.
The album is like a walk through rock history with influences from such different bands like Queen, The Cars, Gary Moore, Journey and of course, LAD.
‘Autumn’s Child‘ is produced by Claes Andreasson and Mikael Erlandsson. Mixed and mastered by Mikael Andersson at Soundport Studio.

Terrorvision are to release a brand new single, the foot stomping festive feel good ‘Our Christmas Song‘ their first new material since 2011 !!
‘Our Christmas Song‘ is a festive present to our fans, and anyone else with a love of the heady days of pop music, when the Christmas No.1 mattered and the main event on Christmas day was settling down to watch Top of the Pops with the last few segments of your chocolate orange, washed down with a cheeky swig of your Gran’s Snowball.’ exclaim Terrorvision.
Formed in 1988, Terrorvision‘s aim to be the biggest band from Bradford (beginning with ‘T’) still holds true. Five hit albums and 13 Top 40 singles (peaking at No.2!) between 1993 and 2001 saw them catapulted from pub gigs in Yorkshire to arena’s and major festival stages across Europe.
Whether they were doo-wopping their way to Oblivion, hailing the advice of whales and dolphins in Perseverance, or celebrating the mind-altering properties of a certain strain of cactus juice, Terrorvision made friends and influenced fans across the world and confirmed themselves as the ‘go to’ rock band for festival fun and games throughout the 90s.
2001 saw an end to the ride. Frazzled and brain-fried after ten straight years on the road, the band went their separate ways to try out other things, in life and in music. Marks’ Blunderbuss delivered the metal, Leigh’s Malibu Stacey some snotty glam-tinged punk and Tony’s Laika Dog alt-rock with a side order of indie.
A handful of gigs and festival appearances from 2005-2010 (which proved, like riding a bicycle, that being back on a stage and rocking the s*** out of it came naturally) led to the band writing and releasing their first album for ten years, Super Delux. Featuring new drummer Cam, it delighted their hardcore fan base with a barrage of hooks and everything turned up to 11!
Touring Super Delux throughout 2012 (with everything turned up to 11) left the band somewhat fried and mangled all over again, so everyone split for calmer waters and new challenges.
An out-of-the-blue invitation from Thunder to guest on their 2016 arena shows was the impetus the band needed to get back in a room together, and since then Terrorvision have been out to play a handful of gigs each year, to increasingly large crowds, in increasingly bigger venues, the likes of which they haven’t played since the 1990s. It seems more and more people want a bit of Terrorvision back in their life.
Downloads of ‘Our Christmas Song‘ are only available from the band’s store, on preorder until December 13th , (for a shot at bothering the Christmas week chart), where you can also buy it alongside a limited edition signed Christmas card from the band that comes exclusively with another new track to download ‘By My Side‘. https://smarturl.it/OurChristmasSong
