Skindred have announced their full UK Showtime Tour for September 2021 and will be joined by special guests Swedish rockers Royal Republic. The band were scheduled to play at London’s Roundhouse this coming November but due to ongoing Covid restrictions, the show has now been rescheduled to Saturday October 2, 2021. All purchased tickets remain valid for the new date.

Skindred drummer Arya Goggin said, “Playing live is the lifeblood of what we do as a band so to be back on the road again and seeing fans and friends and all those that we have missed is something that we simply cannot wait for. Being locked down has been hard for everyone so we would like to take all that pent up energy and let it out in a fun run of adrenaline fuelled shows across the country.”

Skindred also raised over £10,000 for NHS Charities recently by releasing a special edition NHS shirt. Goggin adds, “The work the NHS have been doing through these difficult times has been incredible so it’s great to have been able to do something in return and we would like to thank all our fans for supporting us in our efforts to support them.” The first instalment of money has been paid to the Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport Wales Charity and the University College London Hospital Charity respectively.

The band’s songs ‘Kill the Power’ and ‘Ninja’ have both been added into the new British comedy horror movie Paintball Massacre featuring Katy Brand , Nicholas Vince (Hellraiser) and Ian Virgo (Black Hawk Down) for release later this year.

Melodic metal act Jaded Star was formed by Maxi Nil (ex Visions Of Atlantis) and Raphael Saini (ex Iced Earth), the band's debut album, Memories From The Future ( 2015 / Sensory Records), took the heavy scene by storm and not only brought Jaded Star to sharing stages with with acts like Moonspell, Epica, Xandria, Draconian and many more while also building a loyal and worldwide fan base.

The band says about the signing, “On this new era for Jaded Star our paths crossed with Nuclear Blast's veteran Patrick Walch and his amazing team of the up and coming German metal force Noble Demon records. Patrick believed in us from day one and we share the same mindset. We're really looking forward to what the future shall bring, and we invite you all on this new adventure with us!”

Jaded Star 's brand new opus, Realign, is set for release on November 6, being the charismatic and dynamic, beautiful but heavy, follow-up record, that their fans have been waiting for. An impressive first peek of what to expect from the upcoming full-length album can now be heard and seen in form of the music video for ‘Female Fronted’.

Maxi Nil explains: "I never really understood the term ‘Female Fronted Metal’, why should we use the sex of the singer to define a music genre? You see a woman behind the mic, you hear a woman singing...isn't that obvious enough? Our song ‘Female Fronted’ is an ode to music that is meant to unite and not to divide. Let's put an end on this new trend, sexism doesn't belong in this world, we can all do better than this."
