Society 1 Signs to DSN Music!

s1-promo-mattHOLLYWOOD, CA – Legendary Southern California Industrial Metal group SOCIETY 1, has signed a deal with DSN Music, to release their new album RISE FROM THE DEAD due this March. SOCIETY 1 which was founded in 1996 by the infamous Lord Zane on lead vocals, also features veteran guitarist Maxxxwell Carlisle, bassist Dirt Von Karloff, and drummer Lorden Mitev.

“It feels good to be back at it again, like an old lover who fucked you better than anyone before or after” said Zane, during a decadent signing party at the DSN Music complex in Malibu, California. “Everyone has those moments when you resurrect and reinvent. This album Rise From The Dead is one of those moments.”

The comeback for Zane follows a hiatus, that lead to a successful Hollywood career as music video director, working on projects with such acts as Zakk Wylde, John 5, DMC, and Orgy.

“For me this isn’t so much of a return for the band but more a return of my understanding of how necessary musical exploration is to my existence” said Zane.

SOCIETY 1 gained a name for itself nationally for their wild stage antics, including the Download Festival in 2005, where Zane broke several records by performing the entire set suspended from 4 meat hooks through his back.

“Lord Zane is one of the most talented individuals you will ever come in contact in our industry these days” said DSN President Guy Giuliano. “He has conquered every media platform, with a level of true professionalism, and he’s only really just getting started!”

RISE FROM THE DEAD from SOCIETY 1 goes on sale worldwide Tuesday March 7th, via online and mobile stores such as iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and hundreds more.

Max Joins Society 1!

MAXXX PROMO 6Industrial Metal veterans Society 1 have announced Maxxxwell Carlisle (HELLION) as the band’s new guitarist. Carlisle most known for his shredding guitar style and collaboration with world renowned cellist Tina Guo is expanding his musical expression into the realm of industrial rock. The new lineup will debut this Friday at Schecter’s Annual NAMM Indie Party.

“I’m honored, really honored, to be joining a band with such a rich and storied history. Between the deep metal roots of Hellion and now the boundary pushing mentality of Society 1, I feel like I have access to a full array of methods to express myself as a musician. At this
point I’m confident that I can stay committed to both bands and I look forward to challenging myself artistically and meeting new fans”, says Carlisle.

Society 1 will be releasing a new album entitled “Rise From The Dead” in early 2017.

Carlisle and Society 1 frontman Lord Zane previously worked together on the production of several music videos including Carlisle’s solo 
release “Full Metal Thunder”.

Hellion’s Maxxxwell Carlisle has released his 3rd single for his upcoming covers solo album.
The 3rd single from Carlisle’s upcoming solo album, When The Clock Strikes Metal, has been released. Featuring Frank Casciato (Shades of Crimson, Just Like Priest) on vocals, the track is a cover of Queensryche’s “Queen of the Reich” originally from their 1984 self-titled, debut album.
“I’ve had a great time recording these covers and this track is no exception. Frank Casciato brought his A-game and I think he really did the track justice. Plus, it was great to work with Frank’s brother Andy, who contributed backing vocals. “Queen of the Reich” has been a favorite of mine since the first time I heard it. I think it’s a song that deserves to be recorded again and again, in tribute.” – Maxxxwell Carlisle
The single features cover art by Jozef Klopacka.
“Queen of the Reich” is available on iTunes and Amazon.com and can be streamed on SoundCloud.
