NEWS: Tribe of Ghosts drop 'Hive', play Bloodstock next week

Brighton-based metallers Tribe of Ghosts are back with another brand new track, serving as a great addition to their fearsome stream of singles. Seemingly emerging out of nowhere just over a year ago, they have made some serious waves since last year's appearance at Bloodstock's New Blood Stage. Most recently to this, they had Ben Mason from Bound in Fear guest on Deny The Rot - and they're appearing on the Sophie stage at Bloodstock in just over a week.

Hive opens with a frantic, agitated guitar riff and punishing electronic sounds before introducing the iconic twin-vocal synergy for a couple of verses from Beccy and Adam, calling and responding with each other, the two disparate styles - importantly - complementing the other. The drumming in particular is very powerful, technical, and locked in with the fret-burning riffs, giving the track a bit of a Gojira-style feel in its groovier verses. The key change into the melodic chorus is really nice, and Beccy's clean vocals truly soar over the top of it. Leading into a chest-thumping buildup and a storming breakdown with powerful lyricism, it's almost over too quickly!

Hive is up there in quality with everything else that the band have released, boasting some serious sonic power, wild rhythms and a killer chorus section. Its intensity is matched by its emotivity, and this track will surely prelude another important Bloodstock performance for TOG.

From the band:

Brighton’s Industrial / Post Metal band Tribe Of Ghosts have today shared a brand new single titled ‘HIVE’. ‘HIVE’ is an all out barrage of frenetic and furious sound design and a vicious addition to Tribe Of Ghosts genre-melting discography that depicts a first person view of a world spoilt by dehumanisation and barbarous oppression.

“When we were writing Hive, we felt that we were at a point where we understood our sound and what we wanted to create. With this in mind, we wanted to craft a song that sets the scene of the world that we build with our music, that explores the electronic and the organic, and declares our intent of giving into the chaos that oozes out of us on stage and in the writing process." - Guitarist Adam Sedgwick.

Tribe Of Ghosts have released ‘HIVE’ ahead of their appearance at this year's Bloodstock Open Air Festival. The band will be performing on the Sophie Lancaster stage on Saturday 12th August 2023.

Tribe Of Ghosts have had an exciting year since relaunching their live show in June 2022; having released their previous single Sunburner (Deny The Rot) with Ben Mason to rave reviews, supported Imperial Triumphant and Forlorn, performed at Doomsday 2023; Tribe Of Ghosts look forward to their hotly anticipated return to Bloodstock 2023 and their first performance at Rabidfest. Full details of upcoming live performances below:

12/08/2023 - Bloodstock Festival, Derbyshire

05/11/2023 - Rabidfest, Oxford

‘HIVE’ IS OFFICIALLY OUT NOW!

REVIEW: Man in the Arena - a rebirth for The Sound of Origin

Image
The Sound of Origin are back with their second full-length in three years, Man in the Arena . After the release of the excellent The All Seeing Eye during lockdown, the band appeared at Bloodstock Festival for the first time in 2021 and recorded a cover of Alice Cooper's Sick Things for Pale Wizard Records. A rebrand followed, introducing a new drummer in Jack Walker, also of Gandalf the Green . On Man in the Arena , he brings a distinctly different flavour compared to the previous drummer, assuredly stamping his mark onto the band. Other than that, the deliciously fuzz-soaked riffs are still present and the other addition to personnel is Kyle Thomas, famously of Trouble , Alabama Thunderpussy and Exhorder , who lends his distinctive vocal prowess to two songs on the record. What does it sound like, then? Sound of Origin - Lockjaw/Morning Bird (live at Bloodstock 2021) The two Kyle Thomas-guested songs are a neat encapsulation of the two sides to Man in the Arena .

ARTICLE: Why I love Sabbath Bloody Sabbath

On this day 50 years ago, Black Sabbath released Sabbath Bloody Sabbath on Vertigo I didn't grow up in a household of heavy music, so my first memory of hearing metal is being in my friend's kitchen at around seven years old, at the time when The Osbournes was on the telly. I didn't know what Black Sabbath or metal was back then, but I picked up on a couple of earworms that turned out to be Sabbath songs later down the line. Fast forward to the age of 13 and I was chatting to an older mate of mine about music. When I told him that I was listening to a lot of Green Day and Kings of Leon, he turned his nose up and told me I should try a bit of Black Sabbath and get into metal. I went to a youth club in my village back then and a few months after that conversation I noticed a CD lying by the player at the end of a night with 'Black Sabbath Greatest Hits' written on the front. I stole it, put it on my mp3 player (showing my generation here) and brought it back the n

LIVE REVIEW: Bands, breakdowns & beers on Sunday at Rabidfest 2023

Image
Rabidfest is a yearly event in Oxford that's seen the likes of Discharge , Diamond Head and Blaze Bayley headline through the years. I was there for the first time last year as a performer and was really impressed at how well-run the event was; this year is no different, with friendly security, bar staff, organisers and front of house, as well as a ton of incredible bands. I'm only able to make the Sunday this time unfortunately, but I'm still left with some serious local and national talent to enjoy for a full day.  I get to the Bullingdon to the sweet, dulcet tones of Fetus Destruction blaring out of the speakers. With a band name like theirs, and directly titled songs such as 'Kunt', you can make a good guess at what to expect, but what you wouldn't necessarily take for granted is just how tight they are as a live unit, with particularly intense drumming and an excellent lead vocal. Despite playing around two in the afternoon, there's a sizeable and
