Day in Rock Part 2

Nightwish Share The Secret To Success In Music

The group is led by former Crippled Black Phoenix members Karl Demata and Chris Heilmann alongside singer Keith Gladysz of Diet Kong and Typical Reptiles, keyboardist Elisa Montaldo of Il Tempio Delle Clessidre and drummer Mattias Olsson, formerly of Anglagard.

The promo was shot across various locations in the south of England and was directed by Felix Brassier, who also collaborated with the band on their last video for album opener Circles.

"Colchester is a small town, with a close-knit music scene," says The King Is Blind guitarist Lee Appleton. "Nick Alexander was someone we knew from the pubs and gigs in our home town for many years and we felt tremendous shock and sadness when we heard about his death, along with so many others in the Paris attacks in November 2015."

Following the attacks, Eagles Of Death Metal announced the Play It Forward campaign, for which artists would record a cover of I Love You All The Time with all publishing royalties and proceeds going to The Sweet Stuff Foundation to aid those affected.

"Tom Donovan is a producer and owns Tom Donovan Studios in Essex where The King Is Blind recorded their demos, The Deficiencies Of Man EP and full-length debut Our Father," says Lee. "Tom took the concept that EODM had presented, and took it to the extreme by offering free studio time to bands wishing to record their version of the song. Jumping head-first into the project to record as many covers of the EODM track as humanly possible, he asked if TKIB were interested in getting involved. I've known Tom for nearly 20 years so I know what he's like when he's fired up about an idea, so I said yes on behalf of the band before I'd even heard the EODM song.

Frontman Claudio Sanchez says: "Over the years, the UK has become very important to us. The fact that we are still able to come over to play shows and experience festivals like Reading and Leeds, and have fans who are passionately interested in what we do - we consider ourselves lucky."

On the same day, J Willgoose Esq and Wrigglesworth take over the Space Gallery at London's Science Museum for a special silent disco launch party. They'll be joined by Manchester indie band Dutch Uncles who contributed a remix of E.V.A for the release. Tickets are on sale now.

The video was animated by artist Elliot Bech. Speaking to The Fader, the band say Elliot "brought the video to life with frantic back-and-forth animation that's at one moment childish and fun, and the next, dark and perverse."

Also announced for the event at Pwllheli, Gwynedd, North Wales from March 16 to 19 are IQ, The Enid, Gong, Curved Air, The Strawbs, The Pretty Things, David Cross Band, Davy O' List, Panic Room, Gandalf's Fist, Karnataka, Jump, Hexvessel, Dream Circuit, Credo, Haze, Maschine and Red Spektor.

Now he says: "As with the previous studio album, Closer Than Skin, King Crimson lyricist Richard Palmer James has created high-impact lyrics, both dark and beautiful. The titles evoke big events and big feelings - Starfall, Sign Of The Crow, The Pool, Spiderboy - this is a great album."
