If you don't know SOLACE, maybe that's on us, or maybe it's on you. It's definitely not on them, since all they've done for the past 30 years is generate some of the most iconic ripping and grinding heavy rock that breaks genre boundaries and places them alongside the best to ever do it every time they do it.
Today SOLACE release their massively anticipated fifth full-length 'Fading Failing Ruin,' streaming everywhere worldwide. Our coldly analytical German publicist says, "Early reviews such as German Rock Hard (9/10) and Legacy Magazine (13/15) indicate the Americans can expect a high level of critical acclaim." Accurate.
This is a band who has fought for every scrap of acknowledgment and recognition they've ever received and battled for every step forward, seemingly dragging against anchors always set on holding them back from staying afloat.
They've fought through canceled tours, broken down tour vehicles, amp explosions, lineup changes, members vanishing mid-tour, death and injury, but somehow they're still here and have made the best record of their seemingly doomed but defiantly still-existent career.
A new SOLACE record is not like any other band releasing an album. It's special. It's rare. It's important. It means something to the heavy rock world and music in general. If you don't know SOLACE yet, you're probably not alone, but you don't get a pass any longer. It's fu***ng time to wake up.
Scandinavian riff rock legends GREENLEAF will headline the inaugural Magnetic Eye Records label showcase at this year's Ripplefest Texas in Austin 🤘🎸 This will mark GREENLEAF's first live appearance ever on a US stage, and the first time Magnetic Eye will take over a full festival day at the premier destination event for desert, stoner, doom and heavy psych in North America 💪
Ripplefest Texas runs September 17-20, 2026 and The Magnetic Eye Records label showcase takes place on Sunday, September 20, the final day of the festival, featuring five of our top live acts supporting their latest MER releases:
GREENLEAF
HIGH DESERT QUEEN
HOWLING GIANT
FRIENDSHIP COMMANDERS
WITCH RIPPER
We'll also be represented at the fest by SOLACE for one of the dirt metal heavyweights' only US performances supporting their new album 'Fading Failing Ruin' 👀
Get your tickets at www.lickofmyspoon.com and we'll see you there in September!
Our own FRIENDSHIP COMMANDERS and HOWLING GIANT have been laying waste to stages throughout the old country all month, and both bands have just over a week left bringing sonic destruction to the fortunate heavyheads of Europe, including a show together tonight👀💪
