Hematite Introduces Gothic Country with New Single “Adios”

“Adios” is the newest single from new country music project Hematite. Set for release on February 10, the second single is leading up to their debut EP “Speak of the Devil” set for release on March 3. 

Hematite, a duo of rock scene veterans Davey Muise (Vanna) and Andrew Gaultier (He is Legend), are joining forces “to turn country music upside down.” Influenced by both metal and country, the new project is focussing on combining the best of the genres. 

Their music video for “Adios” reflects this focus, with a dark aesthetic supported by gothic but true country imagery. The single itself is hauntingly rough and tough with lyrics that harken back to Wild West narratives, perfect to accompany a ghost story told by a campfire. 

“”Adios” was the first or second song Andrew and I sat down with. He sent over an older demo version and by the time I had vocals on it, he’d already had a sicker version in my inbox,” wrote the pair. “To me, it’s where it all started, where the vibes hit me and I was taken into this new journey. I’m excited to see the feeling ‘Adios’ gives folks who listen.” 

Fans of Tom Waits, Nine Inch Nails, and Johnny Cash should check out Hermatite’s newest single, “Adios.” Find more amazing music like this on our Alchemical Multigenre Mixdown playlist on YouTube and Spotify.

Foghat’s Roger Earl Refuses to Slow His Ride

By this point in his life, Foghat founding drummer Roger Earl has visited quite a few doctors. But what may be surprising is that the percussionist, 77, is quick to point out that many of the medical professionals who have worked on him also enjoy rocking out.

“Nearly all the doctors and surgeons I know, they all play something: trumpet, sax, violin, guitar,” Earl said recently. “There’s not too many drummers that are surgeons, there’s probably a good reason for that!”

Earl half-jokingly invites his surgeon-rockers to join him and the other members of Foghat onstage at the Fillmore in Silver Spring March 9, where they will be headlining the Rock and Roll for Children Foundation benefit for the Children’s Inn at NIH. Earl, the only original member of Foghat still in the band, will be banging the skins behind guitarist Bryan Bassett and other members Scott Holt and Rodney O’Quinn. “Slow Ride,” the band’s 1975 megahit, is all but assured to be on the setlist, along with tunes from Foghat’s most recent record, “Sonic Mojo.”
