Dangerkids Announce Release Date For 'Blacklist_' With New Single

/

We've been waiting on the follow-up to Dangerkids' 2013 debut Collapse for a long time, and as time went on, things were starting to seem dire for the band. 2017's about to change all of that up.

The band's long-awaited Blacklist_ is due out on January 27, 2017 via Paid Vacation Records. The band has been working on material for nearly two years now, revealing the title of the record all the way back in 2015. It seems the band has parted ways with former record label Rise Records, which may be the reason why.

The band has released another single for the record, the eponymous single 'Blacklist_.' This song feels more at home with the band's core sound than the lead single 'Things Could Be Different,' which had a stronger and more electronically rooted vibe. Both songs show a growth of the band's sound, however, and leave Blacklist_ looking very promising.

Here's the album art and tracklist; both new tracks the band has played throughout 2016 ('Blacklist_' and 'Kill Everything') are found on it:

  1. Kill Everything
  2. Blacklist_
  3. Inside Out
  4. Crawl Your Way Out
  5. Things Could Be Different
  6. Ghost In The Walls
  7. Nothing Worth Saving
  8. Singularity
  9. Summoner's Rift
  10. Glass On Water
  11. Invincible Summer

The new single 'Blacklist_' can be heard below:

Pre-orders and bundles for the new record are available at wearedangerkids.com. Who's ready for new Dangerkids?

Starset Reveal Art for New Album 'Vessels'

/

Alternative rockers Starset announced their follow up to 2014's Transmissions last month, and over the last few days, they've been dropping teaser images of new artwork. It seems that the band has shared the cover for their next record, too!

The band's new record Vessels is dropping on January 20 in the new year. The band has shared the single 'Monster' with us already, which revealed that the band would be taking away some of the edge of their first record. 'Monster' stepped away from the heavy, powerful guitars that really build Transmissions, replacing them with massive synths.

Guitars are not absent, of course. It's still a massive track that lives up to the former. It's just a question of whether or not Starset will be following suit and be taking on an entirely more poppy sound in their new record. Vessels will undoubtedly be an intense record, but it's sonic soundscape is yet to be seen.

The band tweeted out this image today, which seems to be the album cover for Vessels. Be sure to check out their Twitter for more cool images.

 

Who's ready for new Starset music? It's been a long time coming, and we're excited to hear the new direction for the band. Stay tuned for our review of their new record when it drops.

New Imagine Dragons Song 'Levitate' Dropping Tonight!

/

Fans patiently awaiting Imagine Dragons third record are getting a little taste of what's coming. The band is releasing a new song at midnight tonight, entitled 'Levitate!'

The song is an original written for the upcoming movie Passengers starring Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt. The movie features two people cryogenically frozen for a century before thawing out and living in a new age as they travel through space together.

'Levitate' seems to be a poppier direction for the band. Imagine Dragons' previous two records Night Visions and Smoke + Mirrors (read our review here) both featured some more radio-friendly tunes, but this is a different level of pop rock. It's sparkling with bright synths and sweet melodies, and it's bound to be a fresh sound from the band. Let's hope there's some past ID flair added in there, though!

Watch the teaser of the song and movie below. Stay tuned for our review of the song, coming soon!
