Hard-hitting rockers Eva Plays Dead have announced a headline run in November, supported by Black Orchid Empire.

Full dates:

02.11 Subside Birmingham
03.11 Cobblestones Bridgwater
04.11 Santiago Bar Leeds
16.11 Frog & Fiddle Cheltenham
17.11 Sanctuary Basingstoke

The short run concludes a highly successful year for the band, who supported - amongst others - DevilSkin and Sumo Cyco across the UK, following their highly regarded single 'Bones'.

First premiered via Kerrang!, you can watch 'Bones' here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQZiIZxHcwU

Previous Kerrang! Fresh Blood spotlight artists Eva Plays Dead are loud, raucous and raw. Fronted by Tiggy Dee's stunning vocals and backed by a tight live show, the back-to-basics rockers are a band on the up (shows with New Year's Day, SOiL, Alien Ant Farm, Steven Battelle - LostAlone) in the face of adversity (including the theft of over £3000 worth of band equipment).

Stay tuned for further news as it comes.

Acclaimed Mongolian folk metal composer and frontman of Tengger Cavalry, Nature G, has released new album Stereotyping, a unique cross-genre album. The release’s name is somewhat surprising at first glance, as Nature G is well known in the metal industry by shirking all of the genre’s norms.

The same man who made Mongolian folk metal a viral sensation is taking on a decidedly more personal tone, harnessing the power of heavy metal with a delicate electronic influence, all filtered via Nature G's unique folk-metal take.

1. XeN0
2. Act I- Elysium 77
3. THORNS
4. Act II- Sonar
5. The Acrobat
6. Act III- Wither
7. The Fountain

Just weeks away from releasing their debut album Worry via Basick Records, CANVAS have revealed the video for new single 'Haunt You'. Taken from the record, out on the 6th October 2017, the track follows previous singles 'Medicate Me' and 'Hospital Beds'. 

Originally premiered via Dreambound, watch the video here: https://youtu.be/_8EM4M5JeDs

Vocalist Ricky Clarke says of 'Haunt You':

"'Haunt You' is a track that I hold very close to my heart. A track that I have been wanting to write for a very long time but could never quite find the right words. 

I’m not one for talking about my personal struggles and battles as openly as some may be able to do. 'Haunt You' has been the first time I have confidently been able to talk about my mental health issues / sleep paralysis in the most honest way I could. This track helped me get a lot off of my chest and if it can resonate with anybody and help them find some comfort for a while I am okay with that! 

This is why the video had to be perfect, visually representing something that is always hanging over you, looming in the background like a dark shadow that never goes away. Living life in a bad dream."

CANVAS have also announced a UK weekender tour for November, joined by special guests and label mates Fall Of Minerva. The short run will follow the band's UK/European tour in October.

Bands that well and truly hit you at the core - whether it's through crushing heaviness or pure emotional atmosphere - are very hard to come by nowadays, yet CANVAS' take on post-hardcore is as hard-hitting as it gets.

Not ones to shy away from getting their hands dirty within their own creations and taking a heavy DIY approach, the quintet have spent the last couple of years jumping in their van and playing shows anywhere and everywhere from clubs and houses, to garages and practice spaces.

CANVAS are:

Vocals - Ricky Clarke
Bass - Jack Rogers
Guitar - Daniel Marsh
Guitar - Christopher Vernon
Drums - Jon Vernon

Parma's DAMNED SPRING FRAGRANTIA return with new EP Chasm, set for release on 17 November via Basick Records.
 
The band also release new video 'Float', check it out here: https://youtu.be/BtDRsEUoxoM

Now with new guitarist Dario Zatti on board, Chasm marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Italian mob. Pre-order the EP via Basick Supplies here.
 
Of the new record, vocalist Nicolò Carrara comments:
 
"Writing this EP was a very cathartic experience. The amount of attention to detail in every riff, in every vocal line, in every song structure, was unprecedented. We threw away lots of ideas to make room for only what every one of us thought was perfect, innovative, and mature. This was obtainable only through the strong and resonant artistic vision of the members of DSF."
 
Damned Spring Fragrantia came into existence in 2006 during the members' high school years in Parma (IT), starting out primarily as a Metalcore/Deathcore band. The quintet's first few years were spent playing anywhere and everywhere, whilst recording their first two EPs Emptiness - Fragments Of A Decayed Society and Damned Spring Fragrantia, released in 2009 and 2011 respectively. Both demonstrated the inclusion of more progressive and mathcore elements to the band's sound, taking influences from Ion Disonnance, The Chariot and The Acacia Strain. 
 
By 2012, the band had signed to Basick Records, who went on to release debut full-length, Divergences - a record which was mixed and mastered at Domination Studio (San Marino).
 
During the years that followed, the band focused on promoting the album in Europe and subsequently played several tours, appearing at UK Tech-Fest and supporting some of the most important bands in the scene such as TesseracT, Veil Of Maya and Northlane. In 2016, the band welcomed a new guitarist and by mid-2017 had a brand new EP recorded. Chasm will be released November 17th 2017. 
 
Autumn tour dates will soon be announced.
