 The eighth album from the leading Hungarian Folk metal band Dalriada was released on September 7th 2015 by Nail Records / Hammer Music, which follows the group’s tradition as it carries the traditional name of the month July. “Áldás” was available at "Rock On! Fest” one day before the official release date. The album release show was at FolkFest in the company of Korpiklaani, Arkona and Kylfingar on November 6th 2015. “Áldás” opened at the second place in its release week on the main Hungarian album chart Mahasz and kept itself in the TOP40 ever since. There was also one week when all of Dalriada’s CDs so far were in the TOP30. The crème of the Hungarian rock / metal scene was featured on “Áldás”. Famous vocals guests were: Schrott Péter (Tűzmadár), Nagy Gábor (Wisdom) and Szebényi Dániel (ex-Avatar, ex-Hard, ex-Kard, ex-Phoenix Files, Atilla Fiai Társulat). In the song called "Úri toborzó” Cserfalvi Zoltán solo guitarist (Iron Maidnem, Chronology, ex-Ossian, ex-Eclipse, ex-Euphoria, ex-Lady Macbeth/Machbeth, ex-Rémkoppantók, etc.) plays. Boross Béla (Iron Maidnem, Chronology, ex-Tequila Sunrise) featured in „Moldvageddon”The new video of Dalriada has arrived. The first short movie from Áldás album was recorded by Mihaszna Film and it has two main characters. The story goes back to the folk tale times. Ficzek András vocalist, guitarist and band leader tells the following about the new video and Dalriada’s future plans: “Our new album was released in September 2015 and at the same time entered the MAHASZ charts. During that autumn / winter we recorded our new video as well for the title song “Áldás”. The crew was Mihaszna Film. They also made our previous video, “A Dudás”. You should see this multi-actor video several times to fully understand. Both concept and design are the work of Nagy Viktor who brought nothing less than wonderful professionalism and creativity to the co-operation. We are planning a new video, to be shot this spring for the song “Moldvageddon”. We are going to use mainly snapshots and short video scenes recorded on tour in 2015. This will be a “backstage” kind of video. The beginning of 2016 is about preparing and recording our long planned acoustic album. The expected release date will be around May. Besides 11 well-known Dalriada songs it will contain two famous Hungarian and one international song cover. Finally we will set a poem from a Hungarian poet to music. That is the structure of our upcoming album, featuring 15 songs. The studio work is already in progress. Our next big event will be on May 13th as we are going to give a big show at Barba Negra Music Club in Budapest. This will be a special night as guests and friends of ours will take part in it as well. The show will be separated in two sections: there will be an acoustic session as the premiere of the acoustic album. The other part will be a pure metal set - containing mainly songs of “Áldás”.

 Orange County, CA-based rock band Of Mice & Men and Rise Records have announced the release of “The Full Circle Story,” a stunning 5-part documentary series that will stream on the band’s website every Monday beginning today. “The Full Circle Story” will only be visible to those who sign up for Of Mice & Men's all new fan club, The Ampersand. A trailer for the series can be viewed at HERE. "It's been an extreme past half year of broken ribs, head, hips, and tour dates. After initial surgeries, followed by more medical exams & tests, and physical therapy multiple times a week, the last few months have been a real hurdle for me, mentally and physically. Now that we've reached the other side, I'm ready to get the relentless machine that is Of Mice & Men back on track. It will start in March with two and a half months in the studio recording our new album. Then a UK / European festival run (taking in Slamdunk and Rock Am Ring/rock Im Park). Next up we will be opening for Slipknot & MM all Summer long in America, playing various American rock radio festivals along the way, including Chicago Open Air Festival. We hope our new documentary series "The Full Circle Story" will hold you over for now. We put a lot of time and energy into it and hope you enjoy watching part of our Artemis journey and just how it all came Full Circle. See you on the road. Tell everyone you know, Of mice & men is back.“ says Austin Carlile. Directed by Jon Stone, “The Full Circle Story” was shot over the course of the past year, following the band as they traveled around the world performing sold-out shows for an international fan-base whose members number in the millions. Along the way, the quintet (vocalist Austin Carlile, guitarist Alan Ashby, drummer Valentino Arteaga, vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley and guitarist Phil Manansala) released Restoring Force, which hit No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart and No. 1 on both the Billboard Top Independent and Top Rock Albums Charts, shared stages with artists such as Metallica, Linkin Park and Queens of the Stone Age, blanketed rock radio airwaves, garnered critical acclaim and amassed over 20 million YouTube views and close to 5 million social media followers on the strength of an blistering sound and live show. “The Full Circle Story” places fans on both sides of the stage: capturing electrifying concert footage, then going behind the scenes for a rare glimpse at the inner workings of the band that’s being hailed as "the leaders of metal's new revolution.” Stone previously worked with Of Mice & Men on last year's “Identity Disorder” video. "’The Full Circle Story’ offers the viewer an incredibly unique perspective—our perspective,” says Pauley. “The 5-part series takes the viewer on a wild international journey through our past few years, as seen through our eyes. It also showcases some of our favourite moments since the release of Restoring Force, complete with live footage from shows played around the world and interviews from the band. With the help of our friend Jon Stone, ‘The Full Circle Story’ captures what it's like to be in Of Mice & Men, and we can't wait to share that experience with our fans in a way we never have before."

They will release "Vista" via the label in 2016. "We're so incredibly excited to be a part of the Spinefarm/Search & Destroy family. We've been crafting this album for two years and can't wait to share it with the world," Saller enthused. Since their inception, Hell or Highwater have earned comparisons to acts like Foo Fighters and Muse, thanks to their knack for crafting unforgettable and uplifting rock songs. Hell or Highwater honed their live chops by securing a spot on the annual Uproar Tour in 2013 and also toured the world with the likes of Avenged Sevenfold, whose frontman M. Shadows contributed vocals on the song "Go Alone," as well as Stone Sour and The Used. They've survived van wrecks and line-up changes but they've emerged stronger than ever and are eager to start their next chapter and deliver new material to fans. Hell or High-water resurfaced last year with a new song and video for "I'll Be Waiting," which you can watch here. www.facebook.com/HellorHighwaterofficial www.hellorhighwaterofficial.com  Metallica announced on Friday that they will reissue their first two albums "Kill ‘Em All" and "Ride The Lightning" on April 15th.
