FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH – AFTERLIFE
In recording Five Finger Death Punch‘s ninth album, AfterLife, the band took an “anything goes” approach. That’s according to guitarist Zoltan Bathory, who says the group’s fan base has grown to the point where he and his bandmates can afford to experiment a little when they’re in the studio.
“At this point we have legions of loyal fans and our signature sound is more than established. It became its own island, our ground zero we operate from and we can always come back to. So when we started this record, there was an excitement of impending musical adventures. We knew we could step away as far as we wanted to; there was a freedom of truly ‘anything goes.’ This resulted in an album that is way more diverse than our previous ones while it feels more unified.”

THE MOUNTAIN GOATS – BLEED OUT
Mountain Goats are following up their 2021 critically acclaimed 20th studio album, Dark in Here, with an album which is a tribute (of sorts) to actions movies from the 60s-80s.
Regarding Bleed Out, frontman John Darnielle says:
Thanks to the actors and directors in the dozen or so action movies from the 60s, 70s, and 80s that I devoured while writing these songs, a practice similar to the one I used in the early days of the Mountain Goats and which was a joy to revisit. May your blood stain the concrete, the asphalt, the Miami streets, and the carpet of the banquet room in the upstairs of a Little Italy restaurant forever.
