The song is the lead single from Black Sunshine's self-titled debut album, which lands in stores on April 13th, 2010 though BreakSilence Recordings.
"'Once In My Life' is a song about living each day like it's your last and getting the most out of life," commented frontman Matt Reardon. "I had a few close calls and lost quite a few friends over the years and it has helped through some rough times."
Black Sunshine's debut was recorded by Grammy award winning producer Bob Marlette (Shinedown, Seether, Filter), who helped the group bang out eleven blistering hard rock songs. Marlette was able to bring out the soaring melodies that Black Sunshine is known for, while polishing the riffs to cut like a machete.

Multi-platinum selling artist Godsmack are preparing to release their highly anticipated album, 'The Oracle'. With two consecutive number one albums on the Billboard Top 200 (Faceless and IV) and their latest single "Cryin' Like A Bitch" rapidly climbing the charts, this is one album you do not want to miss.
Drummer, Shannon Larkin describes the sound of 'The Oracle' as much more like the band's self-titled album, "It's going to be a monster. The drums sound incredible, Sully Erna's voice is on fire; it's gonna be much more like the first record; much heavier, with simple, catchy guitar-driven riffs."
To build anticipation for The Oracle's May 4th release, Godsmack has unveiled a series of webisode's titled "The Making Of The Oracle," which follows the band through the recording process of their first studio album in four years. In the latest installment, the band takes their fans inside the studio and gives them an exclusive peek at two new tracks titled, "What If" and "Forever Shamed." But gears quickly shift from music to sports when frontman Sully decides to place a friendly wager on a New England Patriots vs. New Orleans Saints football game with producer/engineer Jeremy.
Watch the fourth webisode from Godsmack's official YouTube channel below, to find out who loses the bet and see what happens when they take the dispute to the mechanical bull. Also check out Godsmack's lead single, "Cryin' Like A Bitch," which is available now on iTunes.

Sun Mar 07, 2010 11:38 am Obscura drummer Hannes Grossmann has launched his personal website www.HannesGrossmann.com, offering customized online-video drum lessons. These lessons and instructional videos will also be made available via his YouTube channel and can be downloaded to any IPod or IPhone.
Grossmann commented on the site: "I want to give some insights to my playing and show young metal and non-metal drummers new ways to increase their drumming skills and be able to practice efficiently. The practice methods I developed over the years allow me to learn anything that I want within a short time period. When I joined Necrophagist in 2003 I managed to increase my single stroke hand speed from 200 bpm to 240 bpm in four months! No matter what you want to learn - may it be hand or foot technique, speed, odd time signatures, timing, warm-ups or even songs from the bands I played with - you'll get the chance to learn it on my website!"
Check out Hans in Obscura's video for "The Anticosmic Overload" below.
Obscura are currently on tour in the United States alongside The Black Dahlia Murder. Grossmann is updating an exclusive tour blog from this tour online now via www.SickDrummer.com.

Sun Mar 07, 2010 11:29 am Bridge Nine's grooviest family member, Soul Control , is pleased to announce the first US tour of 2010. Soul Control will be gracing the stage with various New England natives such as Daybreaker, Make Do and Mend, and Title Fight (to name a few) until the end of May. With a sound that started out as more straight forward mid-90's influenced hardcore, Soul Control has emerged with a noisier, looser full-length debut album, 'Cycles'. Hailed as "stellar" by Scene Point Blank, 'Cycles' ''takes hardcore in another, more unexpected direction- substituting every day breakdowns with head-spinning shoegaze jams,' (Beyond Race Magazine). Soul Control wears their influences on their collective sleeve and while 'Cycles' is completely cutting edge, it still possesses the familiarity of their hardcore roots while showing the world just how loose and jazzy hardcore can really get.
Boasting a grandiose tour history, Soul Control is THE definition of DIY touring. Guitarist Jim Connolly said, "We don't wait around for offers, we just go. THis is how we do it- we tour hard." Soul Control has toured the US and Europe both solo and along-side peers such as Have Heart, Verse, Blacklisted, 108, Go It Alone and more. While Soul Control took a short break over the winter months, the band will be back at it for the remainder of the year. Spanning from March 5th until May 30th, Soul Control will be on the road with everyone and anyone... here, there and everywhere.
Don't miss your chance to see Soul Control showcasing live songs off of 'one of the coolest records to grace the hardcore genre this year,' (BRM). Tour dates can be found below. Stay tuned for more dates to be confirmed in the coming weeks.
