You never thought you’d see this day, but nu metal is definitely back for good and the time is right for a new party powerhouse: DROPOUT KINGS. The Arizona-based six-pack managed to fuse everything that was awesome back then with a modern edge that is blowing everyone’s minds right now. You might not have seen it coming, but the DROPOUT KINGS are ready to hook you up with their debut album AudioDope!

Today the band releases the music video for their second single “Scratch&Claw”.

The band on the song:

“This is the first song we ever worked on as a band. This song is about the everyday struggle we all go through. When you look in the mirror are you happy with what you see? The feeling of not being good enough. We all know what that feels like. This song is about dealing with those struggles and overcoming them. Every challenge is an obstacle you must overcome in your life.”

AudioDope track listing:

1. Something Awful
2. Burn1
3. Going Rogue (ft. Landon Tewers)
4. Been A Bad Day
5. 503
6. Nvm
7. Scratch&Claw
8. 20 Heads
9. Street Sharks
10. AudioDope


DROPOUT KINGS join the Napalm Events family!

Napalm Events will take care of all booking issues for DROPOUT KINGS in Europe.
The band is highly motivated and states:
„We want to take over the world with nu metal! We’re bringing the heavy riffs and vocals, and we’re bridging the gap with the smooth flows and word play from our modern hiphop influence. Become a part of the nu metal revolution with your favorite degenerates. We love to party and came from absolutely nothing to bring you the jams you NEED to hear. We’ve been where you are. You will feel that when you give our stuff a spin. Don’t sleep on us!“

On September 7th STONED JESUS will deliver their next solid load of progressive stoner rock on Napalm Records: Pilgrims.

With their fourth album the Ukrainian trio offers much more than an average desert session: Pilgrims is a rather multi-faceted affair mixing groove with noise rock elements, lots of proggy infusions and maybe even a sick bass line reminiscent of good old Deftones („Thessalia“). Giants such as Mastodon and Melvins come to mind since STONED JESUS can’t be pigeonholed.

The band comments on the new album:
"This record was inspired by our relentless touring and the feelings you get - or more precisely you lose - because of it. It's weird how disconnected one becomes when constantly surrounded by people. Musically it's pretty different from what we've done, it's more song-oriented but simultaneously more challenging than before - sonically and structurally"

The full track listing of Pilgrims reads as follows:

1. Excited
2. Thessalia
3. Distant Light
4. Feel
5. Hands Resist Him
6. Water Me
7. Apathy

Pilgrims will be available in the following formats:

- 1 LTD Edition 4 Page Digipack
- Various LP Gatefolds (different colours)
- Digital Album

Pre-Orders will be available shortly, keep your eyes open!
