Voivod guitarist, Dan "Chewy" Mongrain, has released the video below, along with the following message:

"This song I covered is from one of my favorite and MIND BLOWING band, Cardiacs. Their art is VERY unique, complex, unexpected, mad, strange... there is not enough words in the languages of this planet to describe it. So let's just have a listen! I Hope you enjoy and discover their music if you don't know them already, also, you can help Tim Smith (Composer, Gtr, Vox) health care by purchasing merch (see the link below).

"As many people noticed, I wear Cardiacs shirts onstage most of the time, I always have 5 Cardiacs shirts in my suitcase on tour, sharing the love of that band that enlightened my musical journey and the life of many others! Join in!

"Here is the official link where you can find CD, DVD, Shirts etc...: cardiacs.net."

Century Media Records, in cooperation with EMP, proudly present the Isolation Festival. The Century Media Isolation Festival is a free online festival that will be hosted on Century Media’s YouTube channel on May 14. The stream will begin at 8 PM, CET / 2 PM, EST / 11 AM, PST and is going to be online for 24 hours.

Even though there is no way to fully replace a real live experience, Century Media and EMP would like to bring at least a kind of similar festival atmosphere in everyone’s living room. Therefore, the label is happy to host the Isolation Festival together with thirteen Century Media Records artists from all over the world, who recorded and filmed exclusive sets to premiere during the event.

The following bands will participate in this festival:

- Angelus Apatrida (Spain, Thrash Metal)

- Dead Lord (Sweden, Hard Rock)

In times where most of us are isolated at home, a festival breaks us free, gives us hope and most importantly shows us that the music we love is still out there. We cannot bring you a full festival experience right now, but who ever said that it is impossible to build up a tent in your living room, enjoy canned ravioli and cheap warm beer indoors?
