Stone Broken, who have joined forces with Spinefarm Records, will drop their second studio album, "Ain't Always Easy", on March 2, 2018. The band has released a new single, "Heartbeat Away," from the forthcoming album.

"Heartbeat Away", is a deeply personal song for Stone Broken front person and lyricist Rich Moss; the single tackles the subject of domestic abuse, suggesting that the realities need to be discussed more openly and addressed immediately.

"The subject of 'Heartbeat Away' is a little closer to home than most of the other songs I have written," Moss said. "Seeing the impact that domestic violence has on a person you are close to and the way it affects the people around them isn't a very nice thing to experience. I thought it was time to shine a light on something that usually happens behind closed doors, hidden away from the rest of the world. When people listen to this song, I think they will know that it's personal and that I mean every word."

AIRBOURNE—unswerving champions of the hard rock cause whose spectacular global success, live and on record, has consistently clenched a fist for the genre as a whole— have signed a worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records.
 
Driven by a formidable "Work hard, play hard" ethic, and keen to entertain on the grandest of scales, this award-winning quartet, formed in regional Australia in 2003, have been proudly walking the rock 'n' roll path since their early teenage years, inspired by the music's great and glorious past, yet determined to move things forward on a wave of blurred limbs and boundless energy.
 
Led into action by brothers Joel and Ryan O'Keeffe, vocalist/lead guitarist and drummer, respectively, the lineup is completed by David Roads on guitar and Justin Street on bass. The four have spent the past 10 years establishing themselves as a true force of nature: living on the road, selling out major venues, charting albums and appearing on bills with some of rock's most legendary names, from Iron Maiden to the Rolling Stones.
 
With Airbourne, everything is to the hilt, which means that frontman Joel O'Keeffe is as likely to be climbing the lighting rig or going "walkabout" in the venue as positioned behind the mic; it also means that their three studio albums – Runnin' Wild (2007), No Guts. No Glory (2009) and Black Dog Barking (2013) – are home to some of the most rousing rock anthems of the past few years.

Songs like "Too Much, Too Young, Too Fast," "No Way But the Hard Way, "Live it Up" and "Runnin' Wild" itself comprise a body of work that hasn't escaped the notice of AC/DC's Angus Young, who was recently asked in an interview what he thinks of modern rock music, saying, "I see it as healthy, because there’s newer stuff coming through. I really like Airbourne."
 
Since the release of Runnin' Wild, a silver record in the UK, Airbourne have notched up an impressive array of international facts 'n' stats. These include Top 20 chart entries, No. 1 Rock Chart positions, awards for Best Album and Best Live Act, numerous placements in video games and TV/movie outlets, plus key spots at the biggest festivals around the world, the likes of Wacken and Rock Am Ring/Rock Im Park in Germany and Sonisphere and Download in the UK, with Sweden Rock, Greenfield (Switzerland), Hellfest (France) and Graspop (Belgium) already confirmed for 2015.
 
Now, with sights set on absolute world domination and Album Number 4 likely to be released later this year, Airbourne have joined forces with Spinefarm Records in a new global deal that sees Spinefarm partnering with Universal Germany's Vertigo imprint for the German-speaking markets.
 
"We're pumped up to have signed on the dotted line to the world's toughest and truest hard rock label, Spinefarm. We have worked with some of the guys on this team in the past, and we're extremely confident about having each other's back in the trenches for many hard rockin' years to come. We're chompin' at the bit to get ROCKIN' and KICKIN' ARSE in 2015 and beyond.” – CHEERS from Airbourne.
 
Says Spinefarm General Manager Worldwide, Jonas Nachsin, who previously worked with the group as Roadrunner President, "We are so proud to be the new global home for the amazing AIRBOURNE! They are a band who have thrilled audiences around the world with their insanely energetic live shows and wildly anthemic songs, and all of us at Spinefarm are excited to be part of their ensuing juggernaut."
 
Daniel Lieberberg, Senior Vice President, Universal Music Germany, added, "Germany, Austria and Switzerland have always been strong markets for this unique band. We’re excited to closely collaborate with Spinefarm Records on our mission to bring Airbourne to a new level in our part of the world."
 
2015 finds Airbourne perfectly placed to take things to a new level everywhere, building on their passion, hard graft and heady achievements, and bringing along an ever-growing army of fans for the (white-knuckle) ride; and one thing is for sure, there'll be no resting on laurels…

Ask Joel O’Keeffe about his days in college, and his response neatly spotlights "The Airbourne Way":
 
"I drove by the college on the way to a gig,” he recalls. "This was in the early days, all the gear was in the back of the van. I planned to stop off and pick up the diploma certificate, but in the end, I didn’t bother. I didn’t want anything to fall back on, NO Plan B… I knew what I wanted to do, I was committed to Rock 'n' ’Roll, so as far as I was concerned, it was and still is all or nothing."

Raise the flag for Rock 'n' Roll.

Spinefarm is thrilled to announce the signing of Pittsburgh's incendiary punk rock iconoclasts Anti-Flag, who have served as a constant voice of and agent for change by advocating peace and human rights through their tireless work with and support of organizations like Amnesty International, ACLU, Greenpeace, Planned Parenthood, Rainforest Action Network, PETA and more. Spinefarm welcomes the band to its worldwide roster.

The band, which never has and never will shy away from issuing inflammatory, political statements encased in a fast, furious and unforgettable musical package, will release American Spring, its Spinefarm debut and its tenth album overall, this May. The band last released an album in 2012 in the form of The General Strike.

American Spring, produced by AWOLNATION's Kenny Carkeet, Jim Kaufman (Funeral for a Friend, Skindred, Helmet) and Anti-Flag, features a cameo from fellow punk legend Tim Armstrong of Rancid, who appears on the song "Brandenburg Gate," while Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello is featured on "Without End."

While Anti-Flag spent 2014 hitting stages at major international festivals such as Coachella (U.S.),  Sonisphere (UK), Pukkelpop (Belgium) and Glastonbury (UK), 2015 will find the band as in your face as ever... as if anything less was possible.

Given the state of the world in 2015, it's perfect timing for a new Anti-Flag record, which is full of fist-in-the-air, singalong anthems that represent the band's unique world view and which also serve as informed calls to action.

Full release details, such as the track listing and exact release date, are forthcoming, but the band had issued this statement—or perhaps it's more of a warning to the asleep-at-the-wheel masses—regarding the upcoming record.

"We are excited to announce that our tenth full-length record will be released on Spinefarm Records this spring," the band stated. "There is no shortage of fodder for a new record of commentary on the social and political climate in 2015: Endless wars, the new Jim Crow and American injustice, corprotocracy, environmental coup d'état, the surveillance state, loss, grief and anxiety. We hope that these songs can grant us solace in a seemingly hopeless era."

The band continued, "It has been frustrating to see much punk rock music —and music in general— quiet in the face of so many atrocities that are taking place around the world. This record is not quiet. If you are disillusioned with the status quo, these songs are for you. The American Spring is now."

Spinefarm Records General Manager Jonas Nachsin said, "Anti-Flag are a band with a message certainly, and in addition, the music is just as compelling. This album, our first with the band, is just incredible. While we are happy to help deliver it to their legion of devoted fans, our plan is also to extend it out to those who haven't yet been exposed to this treasured act. We are proud that they chose us to bring on American Spring."

Fans don't have to wait for spring for a taste of Anti-Flag, though!

The band's January 19 show at The Visulite Theatre in Charlotte, N.C. will feature the band performing the classic album The Terror State in its entirety and will be live-streamed as part of Yahoo concert series where fans can stream a show a day for free 365 days a year, all from the comfort of their couch. Tune into Anti-Flag as they slay the Visulite stage HERE.

Don't go quiet... Anti-Flag and American Spring won't let you lapse into complacency or let you give up. If ever there were a soundtrack for an uprising, it's American Spring.

VENOM  —the hugely influential British heavy metal trio, widely revered for driving and shaping many aspects of the music industry, including black and thrash metal as well as for their instinctive blending of metallic power and punk spirit— have confirmed the release of their new studio album, From the Very Depths. It will be released January 27 via Spinefarm Records.

 The band is led by vocalist/bassist and original Venom titan, Cronos, who decided against making fans the world over wait too long for this powerful new 14-track release, which is the follow-up to 2011’s Fallen Angels, also issued via Spinefarm.

 So…Venom will be unleashing their fourteenth studio album, via CD and download, on January 27, with a double vinyl format to follow shortly after.

 Cronos says, "This album is perfect, all three members are totally over-the-top confident with the new songs and the production. We had a great atmosphere in the studio while we were recording. Dante created pure thunder from his drums, while Rage tears the flesh off  your face with his riffs, making everything fall into place so well. It's a strong release and really shows the band maturing into an unstoppable force of pure Black Metal. We can't
 wait to play the new songs live for the Legions… Hell Yeah!"

 Just as the aftermath of Christmas can be laced with reminders of gluttony and false cheer, so Venom will unleash a full-throttle, full-length LP to drag you even further into HELL!

 This is the heaviest Black Fuckin' Metal and is not for wimps.

When Atreyu emerged from their hiatus in 2014, the band was met with fevered excitement from fans and the metal community.
 
The band played a sold-out-in-minutes warm-up show in its native Orange County, were a featured main stage attraction at both AFTERSHOCK and KNOTFEST, released a new song "So Others May Live" as a free download for fans that immediately propelled Atreyu to trending status on social media, and closed out the year by booking a hometown Christmas show at The Observatory in the O.C.
 
Now, the band has confirmed even more good news -- its worldwide signing to the Search and Destroy Records imprint as part of the newly-announced joint venture between the label and Raw Power Management and Spinefarm Records.
 
 Atreyu's new album, due out in 2015, will be released through Search and Destroy/Spinefarm.

"We're truly excited for this union," said Atreyu drummer Brandon Saller. "Signing with Spinefarm/Search & Destroy will truly allow us to create without restraint. We are looking forward to the future."
 
 Raw Power's Vice President Matt Ash concurred, saying, "Raw Power is proud to be representing Atreyu for management worldwide and we're very excited to move forward with the guys in this fresh chapter of their career.
 
"We are beyond excited to welcome Atreyu to the Spinefarm Records roster," said Spinefarm Director of A&R Darren Dalessio. "As one of the pioneering artists of the metalcore movement, it's very exciting to see this new album take shape. The new music they are crafting is nothing short of incredible, and there is a real passion and fire within the band right now that is undeniable. We couldn’t be happier to be a part of this next chapter of Atreyu's already impressive storied career. Expect great things to come in 2015!"
 
 Atreyu, who were one of the key architects of the '00s American metal resurgence, last released an album in 2009 in the form of Congregation of the Damned. While Atreyu simmered on the backburner, the members did other things and flexed different creative muscles during the downtime, but returned to Atreyu earlier this summer.

Like a bear native to the Alaskan tundra, 36 Crazyfists have emerged from a four-year recording hibernation and have signed a worldwide deal with Spinefarm Records. The label welcomes the Alaska-originated band, which is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year, to its formidable and expanding roster, which boasts the best in hard rock and heavy metal.
 
The new album, Time and Trauma, is due out in February 2015.
 
"We have found a new home at Spinefarm Records and although the label is new to us, some of the staff are old friends and we couldn't be more grateful to unleash the beast that is Time and Trauma with their help," said frontman Brock Lindow. "20 years in and it feels like Spinefarm is a killer home to hang our hats. See you all on the road in 2015!"
 
Spinefarm Senior Director of Marketing Tim Brennan echoed that sentiment, saying, "We are thrilled to have 36 Crazyfists be part of the growing Spinefarm family! They are a genuine band of brothers that has grinded for 20 years to create a truly committed fanbase. Time and Trauma is an incredible way to begin the next 20 years for the band.”

36 Crazyfists released their debut Bitterness the Star via Roadrunner Records in 2002. The follow up, 2004's A Snow Capped Romance, is largely considered a sleeper classic in the post-hardcore realm. The band also released several additionally beloved albums, including Rest Inside the Flames (2006) via the now-defunct DRT Entertainment, as well as The Tide and Its Takers (2008) and Collisions and Castaways through Ferret Music. Their Spinefarm debut is their first album in four years and their first since Collisions and Castaways, released in 2010.
 
To celebrate the new label partnership, the band has shared the new song "Also Am I," which is available as a stream. Listen to it HERE. This new song is merely a taste of what is to come.
 
36 Crazyfists will close out 2014 with a slew of tour dates, including a December anniversary show in their native state. Here's to 20 more years of bringing the rock.
