Groundbreaking Germany raised, London relocated artist Mimi Barks erupts with her intoxicating new single ‘WORMGIRL’. With the release of Mimi Barks’ anticipating debut full-length album THIS IS DOOM TRAP out in just over a month, ‘WORMGIRL’ sees Mimi Barks take things to a whole new level with the addition of featuring LA-based artist Raven Gray, who offers a contrasting ethereal vocal to Mimi Barks’ self-christened DOOM TRAP world. Commenting on the new single Mimi Barks shares, ”You look like you could be my fix. I’m ready to be destroyed by you. Leave me where you hurt me and I’ll writhe in the blood in isolation. Out of the other end of it. Here‘s what you’ve created; The worm enclosed to an angel of vengeance.” After collaborating with Mimi Barks on ‘WORMGIRL’, Raven Gray mentions, “I was kept inside your chrysalis now look what has become.. WORMGIRL.”
BEX shares new single ‘Taste Better’. ‘Taste Better’ is co-written and produced by WARGASM’s Sam Matlock. A personal battlecry for every woman who has been belittled by men. BEX says: “It’s about female power, fighting back against the patronising men and condescending tones we know all too well. It’s a fierce track that emphasises female empowerment and rejecting expectations.”
Following last month’s surprising single ‘Turbulence,’ Escuela Grind have now unleashed the second track from their upcoming album Dreams On Algorithms. The grindcore crew share the suitably brutal ‘Concept Of God,’ which they say is about “the chaos that ensues when humans come together; the good and bad things that happen when opposites and like-minded individuals attract. The main lyrics in the song are, ‘The concept of god only exists because of people.’” [via Kerrang!]
Having treated festival fans to the track live over the summer, Heriot have now released ‘At The Fortress Gate’ in its full studio glory. The single is taken from the band’s debut album Devoured By The Mouth Of Hell – which is due out on September 27 via Century Media – and follows previous ragers ‘Foul Void’ and ‘Siege Lord’. “’At The Fortress Gate’ blends elements from both our early and newer influences,” say Heriot in a collective statement. “It’s been one of our favourite unreleased tracks to perform live over this festival season, and we can’t wait to add it in the set for the Fit For An Autopsy tour later this year!” [via Kerrang!]
REDHOOK have released a new music video. The new music video, for the track ‘Pyromaniac’, is the brand new single from the Australian alternative rock band and follows on from their previous single, ‘Cannibal,’ which was released back in June. The new song was produced by Stevie Knight [STAND ATLANTIC] and mixed by James Paul Wisner [UNDEROATH, PARAMORE] and its accompanying music video was directed by frequent REDHOOK collaborator Colin Jeffs of Ten Of Swords Media [Imposter, Cannibal]. Speaking about the new single, vocalist Emmy Mack says, “’Pyromaniac’ is a song about making an urgent decision to get professional help with your mental health. It soundtracks this brutally catalytic moment – standing alone in the wreckage of your past mistakes and desperately resolving to change before it kills you. To figure out the root of your self-destructive patterns so you can finally break them. It’s about reflecting on every bridge you’ve ever burnt and asking for help to figure out how to not burn anymore.” [via Distorted Sound]
