Smile Empty Soul with Evolove and Inside The Black at the Whisky Jan 25

On Wednesday, January 25, 2012, Inside The Black will perform at the Whisky with heavy alternative band Smile Empty Soul, who had a Top 10 Alternative hit with “Bottle Of A Bottle.” You know the chorus when you hear it, as it features the memorable line “I do it for the drugs.”

Buy discount tickets for this show at http://bit.ly/smileemptysoultickets for only $11 total. The show is all ages! Also performing will be Evolove.

Smile Empty Soul formed while its three members were still in Santa Clarita, CA, high schools. After honing their sound with numerous hometown gigs, the band began venturing to the Sunset Strip, and eventually signed a deal and released their self-titled debut in May 2003. With its screeching guitars and singer Danielson’s rage-filled vocals, the album was indebted to the alternative sounds of the early ’90s.

This is going to be a bad ass show and will sell out!!! Get your discount tickets at http://bit.ly/smileemptysoultickets before they’re gone!

HEAVY METAL MAGAZINE RELEASES OFFICIAL SOUNDTRACK TO “GATES,” BENEFITING THE RONNIE JAMES DIO CANCER FUND

This past Tuesday, August 9, marked the release of Heavy Metal magazine’s official soundtrack to Gates, titled “Volume 1 – Ascension,” which features our brand new song “Is This Over Now?” This is an honor for us on many levels, not least of which is because all net proceeds from the sale of the audio companion to the comic will benefit the Ronnie James Dio “Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund.”

Ronnie James Dio appeared on the 1981 soundtrack for the Heavy Metal film while a member of Black Sabbath, so it just made sense to donate all sales to his cancer fund.

We’re excited to be a part of this soundtrack which features a lot of other great bands — some you’ve heard of before, and some that are underground — including Black ‘N Blue, CrimsonFaced, Friend Slash Lover and Nineball, to name a few.

Please download the soundtrack on iTunes or AmazonMP3.

TRACK LISTING:
1. “Introduction”
2. “Never Forever” – Elysion
3. “M.O.D.” – Hemoptysis
4. “Is This Over Now?” – Inside The Black

All net proceeds from the sale of the audio companion to the comic, will benefit the Ronnie James Dio “Stand Up And Shout Cancer Fund.”

Ronnie James Dio appeared on the 1981 soundtrack for the Heavy Metal film while a member of Black Sabbath. In homage to the original soundtrack, Hal Hefner assembled an international collection of eclectic sounds that span styles from Metal to Ambient and everything in between.

Hal Hefner, the creator of Heavy Metal Presents: Gates worked with artists LoveKrafty and Inside The Black to create all-new music to accompany the comic, and brought in other artists including Deltanaut, Hemoptysis and Black ‘N Blue to complete the comic’s music companion.

“This is a solid lineup of talented artists from across the world that have come together to form a transmedia experience that is very unique,” said Hal Hefner. “I’m excited and honored to bring these artists together to be paired with my comic book art and writing. It is also an honor to be donating the entire proceeds of the sale of the soundtrack (only minus the retailers’ percentage) to the Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout Cancer Fund.”

The complete soundtrack will be available August 9 for digital download on iTunes and AmazonMP3.
