LA-based rockers THE BRONX return for their sixth studio album "Bronx VI" which was released worldwide on Cooking Vinyl August 27th.
“The feelings I got when writing for this sixth record is the same type of feeling I got writing “Heart Attack American”. It all comes from the same place and it’s all still 100% genuine and real. Believe me – I’m still feeling the raw emotion that I felt when this band first started. That’s just who I am, that’s who we are as people. You can’t fake stuff like that when it comes to music or art. You have to stay connected. You’ve just got to be real” - Matt Caughthran, vocalist.
"Bronx VI" was produced by Joe Baressi (MELVINS, TOOL, BAD RELEGION).
The band have released a live video for their song "Breaking News". The live version was recorded by Tim Armstrong of RANCID. The song is off their album "Bronx VI". THE BRONX will be touring Europe and the UK in 2022 and will be touring the UK with EVERY TIME I DIE in winter 2022.
These long-going purveyors of stoner-doom metal return with an epic comeback album that is being hailed as their strongest effort to date!
"Remember the Story" is FIREBALL MINISTRY 1st album in nearly seven years and it delivers their tried and true signature stomp and fuzzy swing with an even broader scope and deeper emotional range. The album mines the depths of loss, pain, and confusion, exorcising demons with the spirited uplift this kind of music best delivers.
"Remember The Story is about moving forward while staying connected to your past. With this album we've reached a new stage of crystallization and prowess in our riffage." – Emily J Burton
"This is a very personal record to me and was written from down deep. It's also an honor to be playing alongside Emily (Burton) and John (Oreshnick) for the last 20 years. Having Scott (Reeder) with us along for the ride has made our greatest music to date in my humble opinion." – James A Rota
"Remember the Story" was produced/mixed by Paul Fig, the engineer behind important records from ALICE IN CHAINS and GHOST. SABBATH soaked rhythms, PRIEST worshipping melodies, and no-nonsense THIN LIZZY mayhem collide in the Hollywood, California band, a group that has humbly but confidently flown the flag for rock authenticity since the hard-partying year of 1999.
Remember The Story’s cover artwork was created by Caitlin Mattisson and conveys the album’s theme of death and renewal. Speaking about the art, Mattisson says, “the vulture represents renewal and transformation and has connections to many mythologies and cultures, from being descended from Griffins in Greek Mythology to the scientific (Latin) name of Turkey Vulture translating to Golden Purifier, which ties in to Jim's theme about a 2nd chance at life. Elements inspired by Hildgard of Bingen have been worked into the border shapes, as well as 2 blown out candles on the front. The book on the front is a FIREBALL MINISTRY hymnal shooting light. On the back of the album the candles are lit again and the vulture is flying away towards a new moon, new beginning.”
FIREBALL MINISTRY is:
James A. Rota II – Vocals/Guitar
Emily J. Burton – Guitar/Backing Vocals

This evening FIREBALL MINISTRY is playing with CLUTCH, THE BRONX, and RED FANG at Lexington, KY Manchester Music Hall
Today's tune "The Answer" is taken from "Remember the Story", released October 6, 2017. Enjoy!
