Century Media/InsideOutMusic: CEMETERY SKYLINE u.a
CEMETERY SKYLINE veröffentlichen “The Coldest Heart (Live Semi Acoustic 2024)”.
Als herzliches Dankeschön für all die Unterstützung der letzten Wochen veröffentlichen CEMETERY SKYLINE „The Coldest Heart (Live Semi Acoustic 2024)“, das kurz vor der Veröffentlichung ihres Debütalbums „Nordic Gothic“ im Oktober in einer intimen Atmosphäre aufgenommen wurde.
Hier könnt ihr euch ein Video von der Session ansehen: https://youtu.be/oCo4tzN_WUY
Markus Vanhala (guitar) erinnert sich: "We went all the way to New York City to celebrate the release of our album, “Nordic Gothic”, and besides all the partying at Duff's we played a special secret show and did it the old school 90's MTV Unplugged trio way. So here's one result of that night, ‘The Coldest Heart’, in its most gentle and stripped down acoustic way. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed this special moment."
Die Veröffentlichung kommt kurz nachdem CEMETERY SKYLINE mit Freude erfahren haben, dass sie für die finnische Emma 2025 in den Kategorien „Bester Rock“ und „Bester Künstler (Publikumswahl)“ nominiert wurden. Außerdem schaffte es „Nordic Gothic“ in mehrere Bestenlisten zum Jahresende, einschließlich der Leserwahl bei Metal Injection: https://metalinjection.net/lists/metal-injection-readers-have-chosen-their-albums-of-the-year-2024

BIG BIG TRAIN PRÄSENTIEREN NEUE VERSION VON BREW & BURGH
‘Good friends are made and sometimes lost
A fellowship can fall to dust
But brothers, sisters found at last
Guide me from a wilderness’
Zur Feier des fünfzehnten Jahrestages der ursprünglichen Veröffentlichung ihres sechsten Albums The Underfall Yard haben Big Big Train eine neue „Winter Version“ des Songs Brew & Burgh veröffentlicht. Brew & Burgh wurde erstmals als Teil der neu abgemischten und erweiterten Neuauflage von The Underfall Yard im Frühjahr 2021 veröffentlicht und wird von der Band als wichtiger Teil der endgültigen Version des Albums angesehen.

“The Underfall Yard was a pivotal album for Big Big Train,” drummer Nick D’Virgilio comments. “It was our late, great friend David Longdon’s debut for the band and represented the start of an upwards curve, which apart from leading us to record a series of great albums, eventually resulted in us playing live from 2015 onwards.”
“Brew & Burgh has a universal message, but it’s also a very personal song and has become even more poignant following the loss of David in late 2021,” adds bassist Gregory Spawton. “As a band we’ve been through a lot over the last few years and we are very grateful that our audience has been there for us. In this season of goodwill we thought that releasing what we’ve called a ‘Winter Version’ of the song with a new arrangement would be a nice way to thank our fans for their steadfast support.”
“I love the original version of Brew & Burgh,” says lead vocalist Alberto Bravin. “We didn’t want to simply re-record the song but instead decided to re-arrange it to suit the winter season. Oskar Holldorff played a lovely piano part, Clare Lindley supplied some beautiful violin and Paul Mitchell, who toured with us in the autumn, makes his recording debut with us playing trumpet on this song.”
The original recording Brew & Burgh, featuring David Longdon, Gregory Spawton, Nick D’Virgilio, Rikard Sjöblom and former BBT band members Rachel Hall and Danny Manners, can be heard here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsS0Fpo4g9k
Big Big Train recently announced 7 shows to take place in April 2025 in North America. In addition to returning to the United States (following a successful short run of shows in March this year) where the tour will include shows in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, New York State, Massachusetts and New Jersey, the band will also make its debut in Canada (with details expected to be announced shortly). The majority of these shows will take place following the band’s co-headlining appearance on board Cruise To The Edge. In addition, the band will play for the first time in Portugal at the beginning of May at the Gouveia Art Rock festival.
At these performances the seven piece band will be promoting their recent studio and live albums The Likes Of Us and A Flare On The Lens, which were released by InsideOut/Sony in March and September respectively this year to great critical acclaim. These are are likely to be band’s only appearances in 2025.
