Alaskan rockers 36 Crazyfists have revealed the video for ‘Swing the Noose’
This song lives on the brand new album Time and Trauma, which is 36 Crazyfists' Spinefarm Records debut. Upon release, the band enjoyed the best chart numbers of its career, as Time and Trauma bested the first week performance of its predecessor, which came out back in 2010.
Following their recent extensive run of UK tour dates, 36 Crazyfists will continue out on the road, supporting the album with headline shows all over the US.
March 13, 2015 — Detroit electronic-rock artist and FiXT label owner Celldweller has released End of an Empire (Chapter 03: Dreams) today, featuring a collection of 5 new original vocal & instrumentals tracks along with remixes from Combichrist, Hecq, Tom Player & Mobthrow.
Tracks like "Good L_ck (Yo_'re F_cked)" transport the listener into outer space with a cyber punk delivery that drives pure energy. On the reverse side, listeners hear a softer side of Celldweller in the majestic electronic-orchestral ballad "Just Like You."
Listen to "Good L_ck (Yo_'re F_cked)" and "Just Like You":
Klayton (Celldweller) had this to say about the new record:
"Chapter 03 has probably been the most fun I’ve had making the album so far. On "Good Lck (Yo're F_cked)," I took a moment to shed the concept of being Celldweller and instead wrote from the perspective of someone else.
"Just Like You” was me venturing back into a place from where I’ve come, lyrically. Dreams are generally in constant threat of dying, and it was never more apparent than early on in my career. The concept of total failure and having to abandon my dream — specifically the dream of making music for a living, was sometimes downright debilitating. Pulling those moments into the lyrics and music was very cathartic for me."
Along with all new music, Celldweller has tapped a team of the best electronic and rock artists in the industry to remix the album's premier songs. Industrial rock giant Combichrist, elite composer Tom Player, renowned German-based artist Hecq, and creative electronic musician Mobthrow all provide their unique takes on the new Celldweller tracks.

EUROPE’s place as a legendary classic rock band was platinum-stamped early in their career, having enjoyed an explosive period of worldwide success in the ‘80s, under-pinned by their hit album and single The Final Countdown, before going on hiatus between 1992 and 2003. They reunited and quickly settled into a period of re-establishment which has seen them re-enforce their reputation worldwide as one of the premier purveyors of blues-tinged classic rock with an edge and some kick. Their last album, 2012’s Bag of Bones, saw EUROPE hit the UK top 40 rock album charts and debut at #2 on the Swedish national charts.
EUROPE is:
Joey Tempest – lead vocals, acoustic & rhythm guitar, keyboards
John Norum – lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals
John Leven – bass, backing vocals
Mic Michaeli – keyboards, piano, backing vocals, rhythm guitar
Ian Haugland – drums, percussion, backing vocals
