I Declare War To Release New Album ‘Malevolence’ In June

Published

on

I Declare War‘s self-produced album, Malevolence, will be released on June 1st as part of the Artery Recordings / Razor & Tie joint venture.  The Seattle-based death metal / metalcore band agrees that the new album is their heaviest and most focused record to date.  Fans can look forward to a heavy and aggressive album that speaks to a variety of subject matters the band finds corrupt in today’s world.

Malevolence was recorded at Red Room Recordings in the band’s hometown of Seattle with engineer Chris Common, who also edited and mixed the album.  When discussing the album, guitarist Evan Hughes states, “The lyrics are based on a lot of what we think is corrupt in the world today – government, religion, and the self-inflicted downfall of humanity.  The title reflects the overall feeling of the lyrics and a basic view of how we see the world today.”  The album can be preordered now at http://ideclarewar.merchnow.com/ or in a variety of different packages, including a selection of official I Declare War t-shirts.   I Declare War is currently on a short tour with Whitechapel and Son of Aurelius, which Hughes says, “Is going to be great for getting our name out there a little more and promoting some of the new songs from the album.”  This summer they will embark on tour with Molotov Solutio, Dr. Acula, and Monsters.  
I Declare War is comprised of Jonathan Huber (vocals), Evan Hughes (guitar), Chris Fugate (guitar), Brent Eaton (bass), and Ryan Cox (drums).  Founded in 2005, the band has gone through a few lineup changes but now feel they have attained the sound they had been looking for.  They have previously released their first full length album, Amidst The Bloodshed, in 2008 through Compton Records.  Hughes also reflects the band’s sentiment towards the Artery/Razor & Tie imprint when he says, “Everyone at Artery and Razor & Tie have been extremely helpful and awesome to work with so far.  There are only good things coming up for us, so we can’t wait to see where it all takes us.”

‘The Lost Boys’ Musical Extends Broadway Run With North American Tour Set for Spring 2028

Published

on

The Lost Boys: A New Musical officially kicked off on Broadway last month, and Deadline now reports that the show’s Broadway run has been extended into next year.

The show was originally set to run through November, but Deadline reports that The Lost Boys: A New Musical “has released a block of tickets through Sunday, March 7, 2027.”

The news comes in the wake of The Lost Boys: A New Musical becoming the most Tony-nominated musical of the season with twelve nominations including Best Musical.

Additionally, “The Lost Boys will launch a North American National Tour in Spring 2028, at Playhouse Square in Cleveland. Additional cities and tour dates will be announced later.”

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is of course an adaptation of the 1987 horror classic from director Joel Schumacher, with the cast including Ali Louis Bourzgui as lead vampire David (originally played by Kiefer Sutherland), Maria Wirries as Star (originally played by Jami Gertz), and LJ Benet as the soon-to-be-turned Michael (originally played by Jason Patric).

The horror musical’s cast also includes Shoshana Bean as Lucy Emerson, Benjamin Pajak as Sam Emerson, Paul Alexander Nolan as Max, Jennifer Duka as Alan Frog, Miguel Gil as Edgar Frog, Brian Flores as Marko, Sean Grandillo as Dwayne, and Dean Maupin as Paul.

The Lost Boys: A New Musical is Directed by Michael Arden, featuring Music and Lyrics by The Rescues, Book by David Hornsby & Chris Hoch, Story by James Jeremias & Janice Fischer, and Produced by James Carpinello, Marcus Chait & Patrick Wilson (The Conjuring) by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.

When a mother and her two teenage sons move to Santa Carla in desperate need of a fresh start, they soon uncover the darker side of this sunny coastal community. While Lucy tries to piece her family’s life back together, Michael keeps pulling away in search of belonging.

As he finds connection with a local rock band and its charismatic leader, his younger brother Sam comes face-to-face with a terrifying reality: When night falls, Michael’s new friends are even more dangerous than they first appeared.

Joel Schumacher directed the original The Lost Boys vampire movie in 1987, wherein two brothers move to a new town and discover that the area is a haven for vampires.
