My Chemical Romance (ART CREDIT: Dan Schenker) Art Inhuman is a collaborative effort between Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) artist Dan Schenker and writer Matt Horowitz. Dan takes band names, lyrics, and song names and with the help of A.I., manipulates them into what he feels best represents them visually. If you have a suggestion for an upcoming addition to this series, Tweet Matt at @SharpChedder856 and/or Dan at @heydanschenker and Tag the band or artist you'd like us to feature next. This project spawned from Dan's decades-long love of music. Dan had been a fan of the band FOLLY since early high school—for the blend of Punk, Ska, and Hardcore they seamlessly wove, for the energy their music made him feel, and for the almost disproportionately poetic lyrics and topics they covered. So, when Dan thought to input some of his favorite FOLLY lyrics, song titles, and album titles into Midjourney, the results were staggering. He posted them to Facebook, which caught the atte...

No Devotion, L-R: Stuart Richardson, Geoff Rickly & Lee Gaze (CREDIT: Richard Kern) It's been seven years since No Devotion—featuring vocalist Geoff Rickly (vocalist of Thursday,) bassist Stuart "Stu" Richardson, and guitarist Lee Gaze (ex-Lostprophets)—released their outstanding, Kerrang Album of The Year-winning debut, Permanence. Following a string of extremely unfortunate events, the members began to re-imagine the project as a personal lab of new sounds; a private vault where they could store some of their most personal experiences. That is... until now. Out this September 16, No Devotion will release No Oblivion, their long-awaited follow-up album recorded and produced/mixed by Richardson. Getting to hear what the trio has been creating over the years, solely for one another and the joy of the process, is a blinding feat—its songs deeply rich in texture, innovative in form, and full of pain. No Oblivion stand-out "Starlings" marks the first new ...

Let's just say this: if you're still not listening to Barttes Strange, you're missing out! Strange is a producer and song-writer based out of Washington, D.C. His mother is an Opera singer and His dad served in the military for decades. Strange traveled widely for his parents' jobs—born in Ipswich, England in 1989, his family did stints living in Germany, Greenland, and a number of states across America before he hit his 12th birthday when they settled down in Mustang, Oklahoma. Bartees Strangr released his debut full-length, Live Forver, last year on producer, engineer and song-writer Will Yip's impring, Memory Music, formed in partnership with Run for Cover Records.

Live Forever Deluxe Edition by Bartees Strange Strange has sin...
