Breathe Carolina, whose current lineup features Schmitt, Luis Bonet on keys, drummer Eric Armenta and guitarist Tommy Coops, kicks off its Feel This Tour tonight with Sleeping With Sirens in San Antonio. Savages, the outfit's new album, is set for release next year.

Immortal Dominion is no more -- at least in name. Brian Villers, who co-founded the Fort Collins-based metal band in the early '90s, says after twenty years, a name change just seemed in order. "There are a ton of reasons," he says, "but after having so many bandmember changes, and myself moving to lead vocals, I just really felt we don't fit the name anymore." Villers and company entered the studio as New Creature, and have emerged with three new tracks recorded at the Blasting Room with Jason Livermore and Bill Stevenson.

Props to Bryarly.
