We’ve obviously only got a couple more hours before Yelawolf drops his final realease on Shady Records. And, like the everyone else, I’m stuck waiting to see what he’s got planned next. However, what I do know is, Trunk Muzik 3 is the most anticipated album from the Alabama rapper.
Well over on his FB page, Yela just dropped the ENTIRE album on a YouTube playlist, and that playlist is below.
I don’t know about you guys, but he outi on one helluva performance, and I would be nowhere near mad if he ended up SOOPA Gathering with us.
The Gathering isn’t the only festival happening this summer. The newly debuted Sonic Temple (taking the place of Rock On The Range) is set to kick off May 17th at MAPFRE Stadium in Columbus, Ohio. The lineup is MASSIVE! Boasting the likes of Foo Fighters, System Of A Down, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Lamb Of God, and many more!
Tonight though, I’d like to get everyone hip to a band that will be there, Fever 333! This is a band that has been setting stages ablaze since their inception almost two years ago. Their blistering mix of Hip Hop, Punk Rock, and Metal makes for a sound that will stick with you well after you’ve finished their CD. I’d like to personally think of them as the RATM, but that’s me.
Their debut 7 track EP, titled ‘Made An America’ dropped on March 23rd 2018, featuring the singles “We’re Coming In” and “Hunting Season” which features drumming from Travis Barker. Fueled with political and socially charged lyrics and themes, Fever 333 are taking a stand against injustices and inequality, as well as ignorance and hatred, and they’re doing it with passion and fury.
On January 18th 2019, Fever 333 would release their full length album, ‘Strength In Numb333rs’. An album full of passion, anger and anthemic charges that make you want to raise your fist. The Albums lead single “Burn It” was the perfect introduction into what the album had in store.
I highly recommend you giving this band a chance, you might find something you’ve been missing all along.
Check out Fever 333 at Sonic Temple and on tour.

BAND TO EMBARK ON THE MIDNIGHT WORLD TOUR PART 3 BEGINNING JUNE 11
NEW ALBUM MIDNIGHT OUT NOW
Set It Off have announced their summer 2019 U.S. tour plans. The band will embark on the Midnight World Tour Part 3. It’s the third leg in support of their Fearless Records debut Midnight, out now. This leg follows Part 1, which canvassed the U.S., and Part 2, which rolled through Europe.
For Part 3, the band will hit the road on a headlining trek with support from Emarosa, Broadside, and Lizzy Farrall. The tour starts on June 11 in Colorado Springs and runs through July 18 in Los Angeles. The band will also appear at two Warped Tour 25th Anniversary Weekend shows and Sad Summer. All Set It Off tour dates are below.
“Parts 1 and 2 of the Midnight World Tour have been such a success for us that we immediately started working on coming back to the U.S. to play some areas we didn’t get to see on the first run,” said singer Cody Carson. “The overall support has been overwhelming, and we cannot thank you enough! A lot of the shows sold out on our last tour so PLEASE don’t wait and get your tickets now at setitoffband.com.”
Midnight was produced by Mike Green (Neck Deep, All Time Low, State Champs) with additional production by Brandon Paddock (Panic! At the Disco, Papa Roach, The Used, Daughtry). The album demonstrates a depth and breadth of musicianship. Carson played clarinet, and guitarist Dan Clermont played trumpet on the record, while the band also incorporated live strings, live horns, and a live gospel choir into the album. Midnight also includes intricate, instrumental features by Reel Big Fish’s Matt Appleton and Issues’ Skyler Accord, as well as a vocal feature by Wayfarers.

PARTING GIFT RELEASE VIDEO FOR “3:07 (MOONLIGHT)” — WATCH!
ENSOM EP OUT TODAY THROUGH FEARLESS RECORDS Parting Gift have released the music video for “3:07 (Moonlight).” Watch it here.
The song appears on the the UK band’s new EP, Ensom, out today viaFearless Records.
“This is the first cry for help, the plea to the enemy,” says vocalist Zac Vernon of the composition. “When one attempts to face their nemesis and ask it what it wants, only to realize it wants nothing but the suffering. It is the understanding that the paralysis it brings about one can only endure without fighting it. This is where one surrenders themselves to the black water.”
Parting Gift previously issued “Without Sin” and “Pale.” The atmosphere, beauty, darkness, and depth of Parting Gift’s black metal roots can be pinpointed throughout their own sound and aesthetic. Combined with the layered shimmer of shoegaze, gorgeous simplicity of indie rock, and bludgeoning weight of post-hardcore, it is a smorgasbord of influences designed to ensnare and enrapture.
Parting Gift is a place of expression through the emotions that this existence deals out. Be it through love or loss, hatred or hardship, the music exists to be dissected. Using the darkness of the world we live in to create something beautiful is a very special trait and one that Vernon doesn’t take lightly.
“As you grow up, you realize that the world isn’t always a happy place to live in,” Vernon said. “Speaking from personal experience, I have seen a lot of bad things happen. Going into Parting Gift, I was viewing everything in a really negative light. Even though things have changed now, I can still channel all of that negativity into the way I write. I could be in the best mood but I could still come up with the darkest lyrics. I just couldn’t write something happy now.”
Ultimately, Parting Gift are more than just a band. It is a feeling of release that we all possess. An urge deep inside that wants to break out, letting us be as happy, sad, angry or passionate as we want to be. Even at such an early stage in their journey, the band is serving as a vessel for the most human parts of existence and Vernon hopes that can continue as they venture deeper in what it truly means to be. “Going forward, I want to hone in on the craft of enabling people to feel like they belong to something. We want people to feel like they are an integral part of all of this,” he stated.
PARTING GIFT ARE: Zac Vernon — Vocals Peter Vybiral — Guitars Jack Dutton — Guitars George Barnes — Drums
ABOUT PARTING GIFT: Art is not just a one-dimensional construct. It is a multi-faceted, richly woven and engrossing prospect from whichever angle you view it. This is a philosophy that defines and inspires Manchester’s Parting Gift. Shrouded in mystery, Zac Vernon [vocals], Peter Vybiral [guitar], Jack Dutton [guitar], and George Barnes [drums] have been leaving things open to interpretation with their minimalist visual style and deeply enriching sound since their emergence in early 2017. Building up a rapturous and devoted fan base through a handful of beautifully constructed singles, including the rousing double A-side Vein & Rensing (2018), the band has since penned a deal with Fearless Records and toured with the likes of Neck Deep, Blood Youth, Holding Absence, and many others. Even at such an early stage in their journey, the band is serving as a vessel for the most human parts of existence as they look to venture deeper into what it truly means to be in this dark and confusing world.

SOOPA STAGE LINEUP
ANYBODY KILLA
The spirits of our Ancestors are called to the sacred grounds of Shimmer Forest, lending their energies to empower the living, lyrical embodiment of The Warrior Soul. His booming voice and supernatural cadence compel you to move amongst an ocean of Juggalo Homies, splitting and mixing together in a kinetic mass as though under the influence of a shaman’s spell. The Shapeshifting abilities of this MC have allowed him to transcend his mortal restraints and move freely through the Hallowed Halls of Hatchet History. Now the time has come for The War Chief to emerge once again, rattling the earth with wardrum sounds of Native Funk and testing the worthiness of all who claim Warrior in his presence with a microphone in his hand and a medicine bag at his hip.
Ancient scripts written from an order of dark voodoo tribes foretell of an entity that will come upon our world as a shadow of death, reigning destruction and speaking in a rhythmic tongue that will instill madness, murder, and chaos. His passage will herald an age where the light of the world will dim and the vilest of magic will flow, ushering in a new age infused with unmentionable evil. It is foretold that with his passage the seas will boil, the skies will rain with blood, and the very dead will walk again. He goes by many names whispered amongst those who study the very darkest of occult lore, but you may know him by his true name…Big Hoodoo!
POW! From the start they have been electrifying the senses with their uncanny abilities on the mic, in the studio and on stage as they continue to mutate throughout the years to remain the undisputed super heroes of the underground world! WHAM! For more than 25 years they have brought to you music, movies, comics, games, wrestling, laughter, and this very festival as a testament of the love they have for their Juggalo fam, as they stand with them through thick and thin! CRASH! Now they take the stage for the 20th time for the 20th annual with an explosive performance that will transcend across every multiverse throughout known time and space! BANG! They always remain the epitome of dopeness, as they continue to fly into the stratosphere of legendary status powered by pure Juggalo love…Clown on Muthafakoos! KABOOM!
Feel the Ruusshhhh as the Psychopathic Monstar takes the stage in an explosive verbal assault of machine-gun-style mayhem. This tried and true battle-born and bred MC from Flint MI has paved a way of success that tunnels deep beneath the underground. He is considered to have one of the highest energy live performances to ever ignite a mic, and now he comes to completely obliterate the Gathering grounds, leaving all in his wake empowered, mesmerized, and feeling the flow of high-octane adrenaline that only he can infuse. Get ready to get live as you get lit for LYTE!
Emerging from the all-consuming flames of the Trashfire and the murky, bottomless depths of the Gutterwater, the underground rumbles with ominous sounds and bass that pounds from the one known as the Future of the Wicced Shit. Ouija Macc is one Juggalo on an eternal mission. With his legions of Guttergods and original sound that has made its mark on the Juggalo World forever, he invites us all to join him on an epic and arduous quest on streets strewn with blood to gather the elements for the absolute mayhem of Darc Planet. So light it up and start a pit. 40 bodies ain’t enough cuz that’s that Gary Way, Bitch. Who will survive?
P-P-P-POW! Let the impact hit you as your wig splits back upon impact! You are now toe to toe with The Notorious! The Infamous! The Wickedest! The Feared and Deadly Forces hostile forces of none other than…the SOOPA Villainz! Making their Gathering debut, the soopa group of ICP and Esham are ready to devastate and annihilate, laying waste to all in their path, flying at lightning speed with fists of fury, crunching your teeth into the back of your skull. Get ready to get decimated as the nefarious sounds pound the stage. SOOPA DOOPA!

I PREVAIL RELEASE NEW SONG + VIDEO FOR “PARANOID” — WATCH + LISTEN
BAND TO DROP NEW ALBUM TRAUMA ON MARCH 29
HEADLINE TOUR KICKS OFF IN APRIL
Detroit’s I Prevail have shared the video for the song “Paranoid” from their second full-length Trauma.
Watch + listen here. Trauma will be released on March 29 through Fearless Records and is available for pre-order in physical and digital formats here.
I Prevail will embark on a headline North American tour next month. The first leg of the band’s headline tour kicks off on April 24 and runs through May 24. The second leg launches on July 11 and runs through August 9, and includes several major festival appearances. Joining the band for these dates will be special guests Issues and Justin Stone. Tickets for the tour are available here. All dates are below.
Trauma represents a moment of triumph in the wake of a series of trials and tribulations endured by the Michigan quartet—Brian Burkheiser [clean vocals], Eric Vanlerberghe [harsh vocals], Steve Menoian [lead guitar], and Dylan Bowman [rhythm guitar]. Even as they catapulted towards mainstream notoriety with 2016’s breakout Lifelines, they faced unforeseen hardship that might’ve broken any other band. Burkheiser dealt with a debilitating vocal injury that jeopardized his future as a singer. He made it through, but dealt with the aftershocks of stress and anxiety. Conflicted with thoughts of potentially leaving the band, he made a decision. He got together with his band brothers in 2018 and they decided to craft the record they wanted to hear without outside input. Joined by producer Tyler Smith [Falling In Reverse], they emerged from 10 months in the studio with Trauma.
Trauma also represents a realization of I Prevail’s full potential. The band elevates rock music by making it unpredictable again, leaping from moments of metal, alternative, electronic, and heavy rock. This air of danger powers the hard-hitting single “Bow Down.” Watch + listen here.Companion single “Breaking Down“pairs glitchy flourishes with a hypnotic and heartfelt vocal performance and impactful refrain. Watch + listen here.
With an equally melodic and momentous offering, I Prevail soar on Trauma. Smarter and more confident, rock music gets the band it needs to carry it to the frontlines of heavy music: I Prevail.

ABOUT I PREVAIL: Gold-certified Michigan quartet I Prevail refashion, reup, and recharge rock music on their anxiously awaited 2019 sophomore offering, Trauma [Fearless Records]. If anybody can elevate the genre to mainstream ubiquity once more, it’s this band. Since their 2014 arrival, they set a precedent to catalyze rock’s evolution. The band put up astounding numbers rarely synonymous with the genre or their peers, for that matter. Nearing half-a-billion streams and 115 million YouTube views, they moved over 500,000 albums worldwide, notched three #1 singles on SiriusXM Octane, and played 500-plus shows in just three years. Not to mention, they achieved a gold single in the form of their take on Taylor Swift’s “Blank Space” from the Heart Vs. Mind EP. On the mega-anticipated 2019 offering Trauma, they uplift rock to a plateau where soundscapes can unpredictably toss and turn between heavy metal, alternative, hip-hop, and electronic moods without warning, boundaries, or rules. Meanwhile, the lyrics team with confessional emotionality as if ripped from the pages of a secret diary. Vulnerable, vital, and visceral, the 15-track opus illuminates the future, and it’s as bright and bold as the singles “Breaking Down“and “Bow Down.”Rock may never be the same after this Trauma.
In the short time the site was actually live, we were able to get a few bits of info as it pertains to the festival, such as the rules and campground details. Here’s what we have so far:
SHIMMER FOREST
This year’s GOTJ is being held on a 400-acre fenced-in outdoor music venue known as Shimmer Forest, with an address of 99 Moore Lane, Springville IN, 47462. It is owned and operated by a super cool group of ninjas who are excited to bring our event to their home, and for that alone they deserve our respect. There is enough space at Shimmer Forest to allow everyone to camp directly on the grounds (most of which is beneath the shade of trees) for a truly 24-hour experience.
PARKING
There is a 20-acre field located near the front entrance to Shimmer Forest where you may park your vehicle for free. Keep in mind there is no camping allowed in the parking area! Due to fire codes, any campsites set up in the parking lot will be moved (go to the Info Tent for help locating your stuff if this happens to you).
CAMPING
Once you enter Shimmer Forest with your GOTJ wristband you are free to camp in any of the designated camping areas on a first come first serve basis. These locations will be clearly marked on the GOTJ map of Shimmer Forest, which will be available in the GOTJ program, and on this website. Keep in mind that the Gathering staff reserve the right to move any tent, vehicle, or campfire, to handle disputes. Or, if they are located on a road, or an unofficial camping area. There are some key rules that everyone must follow when camping:
There is no camping in the Parking Lot or in the field in front of the Soopa Stage.
All tents and vehicles must be 15 feet from any other tent, vehicle, or campfire in all directions.
Do not camp in-between any row of metal poles, as these mark fire lanes.
Make sure to safely contain, maintain, and extinguish all campfires.
All vehicles at a campsite must have an appropriate vehicle sticker pass.
Please be respectful of your neighbors, especially when it comes to excessive noise at night.
RULES
The following is a list of key rules to help keep everyone safe and ensure a good time. We ask that you treat everything on the grounds of Shimmer Forest with respect to show proper respect to the owners who have welcomed us into their homes. We also ask ninjas to refrain from showing up early to the Gathering.
No selling of illegal substances or the breaking of any other laws.
No underage or excessive drinking, or substance abuse.
NO GOLF CARTS, FOUR WHEELERS, OR MORTORIZED VEHICLES.
