sace6 Announce New Forthcoming Album 'brutalist' Out Friday, May 8 via Sumerian Records

Enigmatic, genre-bending R&B-metal duo sace6 have today announced their forthcoming new album, 'brutalist', out on Friday, May 8 (via Sumerian Records). In celebration of the news, the band have dropped their latest offering "covet"and the official video. When asked about today's release, the band commented:

"Our second single off of 'brutalist' - “covet” remaining anchored to the definition of the word this song is an audible representation for jealousy, wanting what/who someone else has to the point of being inept at moving within my own connection." 

Pre-order 'brutalist' at the link here, stream "covet" here, and watch the official video below.

North American fans will soon have their chance to see sace6 hit the stage on The Pale Moonlight Tour with Dayseeker, Northlane and Wind Walkers starting on Friday, May 1, through Saturday, May 30.

Eihwar Premiere New Album 'Hugrheim'

Hot off a year of electrifying performances at Wacken Open Air, Midgardsblot and dates with The Hu, Eihwar are back to pull the world deeper into their Viking War Trance with hotly anticipated new album Hugrheim.

“Eihwar drags ancient, blood soaked combat directly into the heavy throb of the underground”, Folk N Rock writes in a track-by-track feature on Hugrheim. “They hammer voltage directly into iron battle axes, bringing sharpened steel to the dancefloor and burying war chants under some brutal weaponized distortion”.

Hugrheim comes out tomorrow, Friday, March 13 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all 10 pulse-pounding tracks today below.

Pre-order & pre-save

https://orcd.co/eihwarhugrheimalbum

With Hugrheim, Eihwar invite listeners into the hidden tenth world of Yggdrasil. The album is a thunderous trip, powered by war drums, pagan chants and questionable life choices.

Blending Nordic folk instrumentation with electro-industrial pulse and thunderous ritual percussion, Hugrheim captures the chaotic energy that has already rattled festival grounds from Wacken Open Air to Midgardsblot. Eihwar treat Norse mythology less like a museum piece and more like a very loud celebration. Ancient symbolism collides with trance languages, pounding rhythms and the kind of ritual enthusiasm that tends to make crowds forget they are supposed to stand still.

Across ten tracks, Hugrheim unfolds like a guided tour through the stranger corners of this unseen world. From the rune-bound trial of lead single “Nauðiz” and the invocation of “Freyja’s Calling” to the victorious chant of “Heill Óðinn,” each composition opens a new gateway into Hugrheim’s shifting landscapes, including the album’s eponymous track “Hugrheim”. There are battle rites, shadow realms and luminous gardens. There are also quite a lot of drums.

At the center of the story stand Mark and Asrunn, wandering spirits whose memories of Hugrheim slowly return while inhabiting human bodies on Midgard. Through chants, war drums and trance-driven rhythms, the duo translate that mythology into sound. The result is a concept album that moves easily between ritual atmosphere and outright pagan dancefloor energy.

There is something truly unique about Eihwar. In a way, the band relates to Vikings much like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles relate to turtles: wild, over-the-top superheroes who don’t take themselves too seriously. And yet, from their mischievous spirit and contagious joy emerges a deep and moving poetry. A kind of childlike wisdom.

Following the release of Hugrheim, Eihwar will carry the Tenth World across Europe on a headline run presented under the banner Pagan Folk Nights, joined by special guest Mira Ceti. After commanding major festival stages and igniting packed club shows, the duo now bring their ritual drums, trance chants and industrial folk pulse into an extended continental campaign.

Line-up:
Asrunn — Vocals, Shamanic Drums
Mark — Vocals, War Drums, Lute, Folk Guitar, Tagelharpa, Percussion & Programming

Production Credits:

Rising Rock Trio THE GEMS Reveal Single "Happy Water" Video

SOPHOMORE ALBUM, YEAR OF THE SNAKE, OUT THIS FRIDAY, MARCH 13 VIA NAPALM RECORDS — PRE-ORDER

Ready to unleash their highly anticipated sophomore album Year Of The Snake this Friday, March 13, THE GEMS strike with another new single!

"Happy Water" is the album's closer — and is one of the most explosive songs on it. The Swedish trio kicks the party off by serving pure rock 'n' roll energy so addictive it’ll make you forget the musicians' Thundermother past.

THE GEMS made their status as a strong player in modern hard rock clear from the very beginning: The band hit #2 on the German Rock Radio Airplay Charts with their first-ever single and impressed fans and critics alike with the 2024 debut album Phoenix (2024). Now, Year Of The Snake continues to prove the band's standing in the scene, with beyond others hitting #1 on the German Rock Airplay charts with the title track "Year Of The Snake." 

Don't miss out on pre-ordering your copy of the new album now (first editions are already sold out!) and make sure to check the official reel for "Happy Water".

THE GEMS on "Happy Water":

"The song is a Motörhead-inspired banger about Vietnamese moonshine, a snake-infused liquor called 'Happy Water.' It’s a party song about just letting go, not knowing where the night will take you. Sometimes you just need to play with fire."

THE GEMS return with their second album Year Of The Snake, out on March 13. The Swedish trio solidifies their position as a strong player in modern hard rock. Their very first single, "Like A Phoenix," instantly hit #2 on the German Rock Radio Airplay Charts and they impressed both fans and critics with their debut record Phoenix (2024). With one album under their belt, and numerous electrifying live shows, THE GEMS quickly established what Year Of The Snake now effortlessly proves: this is the future of rock!

THE GEMS on Year Of The Snake:
"Year Of The Snake is about facing previous hardships in your life, letting go and moving forward to a brighter chapter. It's packed with strong and empowering themes, just like a snake shedding its skin and now standing strong in its own power! Year Of The Snake is a homage to our fans at our live shows. We wrote the songs envisioning an excited festival crowd; from our loyal diamonds in the front row, knowing all lyrics by heart to the crazy headbangers in the back. The album is packed with Van Halen and Europe-inspired hard hitting grooves and riffs that will take you back to the 80s. Yet, the production is modern and fresh. In an increasingly artificial world, we want to stay true to our roots - solid musicianship and songwriting from the heart. Our aim is to always create a great sounding album with the live show in mind. The future is live and heavy glam rock is here to stay!"

Pre-Order Year Of The Snake NOW

THE GEMS LIVE 2026:
Following their formation in 2023, THE GEMS quickly showed the exceptional live energy of the new band, with highlight performances including Sweden Rock Festival 2024. After the release of the upcoming full-length, THE GEMS will hit the road on their "Slithering Through Europe" tour.

THE GEMS ARE:
Guernica Mancini —Vocals
Emlee Johansson — Drums
Mona "Demona" Lindgren — Guitar, Bass

A.A. WILLIAMS Announces New Album Solstice And Releases New Single And Video "Hold It Together"

After wrapping up a successful UK and European tour, musician, singer, and songwriter A.A. WILLIAMS, known for her atmospheric, emotionally charged music, returns with her new single "Hold It Together" taken from her newly announced forthcoming album Solstice, due for release on 5th June via RPM. Pre-orders for the album open on April 22nd.

"Hold It Together" explores the fragile tension between resilience and internal collapse. With her characteristic blend of haunting atmosphere, immersive sound and emotional intensity, the London-based artist captures the experience of carrying deep feeling while presenting calm on the surface.

Speaking about the song, A.A. WILLIAMS explains:

“Silence exists where you long for answers, a bleak fragility that you daren’t disturb. Where beauty stood only the faintest glow remains, afraid of smothering it you shrink into a mould of your own making. Your edges dulled, your features disappearing, you put on that brave face not knowing whether you do it to protect others or yourself. You smile, you carry on, feeling everything, showing nothing.”

The track unfolds with quiet intensity, balancing vulnerability and restraint while drawing listeners into its immersive and emotionally rich soundscape.

Watch the video Below: 

Solstice finds A.A. WILLIAMS standing at the threshold between shadow and renewal, shaping songs that feel carved from storms and starlight. Known for her haunting vocals, cinematic dynamics and emotional clarity, Williams expands her sonic world with music that moves like a ritual through shifting seasons. Moments of stark intimacy open into surging crescendos as guitars swell and crash like gathering weather, anchored by a formidable sense of weight and scale. Strings glow with fragile warmth before giving way to waves of heavy distortion and all-encompassing catharsis, while her voice rises from quiet confession to commanding intensity. Drawn from years of global touring, acclaimed collaborations and boundary-pushing reinterpretations, Solstice captures an artist in full command of her craft. The album is intimate yet immense, delicate yet thunderous — guiding listeners through darkness with both vulnerability and force toward a distant, resolute dawn.

About A.A. Williams

Having made her debut live appearance at the prestigious Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands off the back of a self-titled EP, A.A. WILLIAMS has since toured across the globe with the likes of CULT OF LUNA, EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, RUSSIAN CIRCLES, SLEEP TOKEN and THE SISTERS OF MERCY, as well as establishing herself as a headline artist - including a show at the iconic Queen Elizabeth Hall inside London's Southbank Centre.

Standout festival appearances have dovetailed with two album releases - 2020's "Forever Blue" and 2022's "As The Moon Rests" - both of which received widespread critical acclaim and placed A.A. WILLIAMS at the forefront of a wave of artists taking textured, epic and folk-rooted heavy music into new and progressive directions. A BBC session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios only bolstered her credentials.

Never one to rest on her laurels, she has also released a series of "companion pieces": a collaborative single with Japanese post-rock titans MONO ("Exit In Darkness"); a solo covers collection recorded during 2020's pandemic lockdown - Songs From Isolation - that drew praise from THE CURE's Robert Smith and SMASHING PUMPKINS' Billy Corgan; and perhaps most impressively, 2021's arco, in which the multi-instrumentalist completely reworked her debut EP from rock instrumentation to string ensemble, drawing on her classical training to stunning effect.

Now signed to Reigning Phoenix Music, the singles "Just A Shadow" and "Wolves" - the first taste of forthcoming album Solstice, due 5th June 2026 - have already turned heads, with Rock Sound calling her "one of the most vital voices in modern alternative culture" and Kerrang! declaring her work "typically spell-binding."

HELLRIPPER Unleashes Music Video for Sinister New Single, "Mortercheyn"

Scotland's ibex-obsessed blackened thrash bastard of Hades, otherwise known as HELLRIPPER, is now delivering yet another crushing blow from his forthcoming opus! The ominous new single, "Mortercheyn," can be found along with a sunning music video that was video produced, directed and edited by David Gregory below.

"Mortercheyn" is taken from HELLRIPPER's upcoming fourth studio album, 'Coronach,' which will be released worldwide on March 27, 2026 via Century Media Records, making it his debut to the label! 'Coronach' can be pre-ordered HERE.

Hellripper mastermind, guitarist/vocalist and songwriter James McBain comments, "Much like the previously released 'Kinchyle (Goatkraft and Granite),' the lyrics on this track come from a more personal place. The title itself is a little nod to a track on the previous album, 'The Nuckelavee,' and mortercheyn is said to be the disease spread by the creature in its wake. It is a contagious and lethal sickness that primarily affects horses, and is used in the song to represent the decay and downfall of the world.

"Musically, 'Mortercheyn' is a crust track at its core, drenched in a sinister atmosphere that lies between the black metal vibe of Watain and the raw aggression of bands like Martyrdöd and Skitsystem. Hints of Whiplash and Agent Steel are clearly evident in the guitar work and are paired with some uncomfortable ambience inspired by the likes of Aphex Twin and Venetian Snares. On the surface, it may feel like one of the less 'complex' songs on the album, but I think there's quite a lot going on throughout”.

In addition, Hellripper has recently announced a string of support shows for thrash metal legend Testament in Spain and France. In addition, Hellripper will next embark on European headline tour alongside Schizophrenia and Sarcator to promote 'Coronach' and has also revealed a number of festival appearances and two performances in Mexico.

Enter the GOAT KVLT HERE.

The brainchild of guitarist/vocalist/solitary force, James McBain, Hellripper has been running like a denim-vested, backpatch-encrusted William Wallace, bravehearting his way through metal's bloodiest battlefields since first coagulating his personal darkness in 2014. Taking armaments from “Kill 'Em All” era Hetfield and “Welcome to Hell” era Mantas, McBain has immersed his fascination with darkness and speed with Scottish history and come with bloody masterpieces like 2023's “Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags” that Metal Injection stated: "Bursts with growth and a mature exploration of darkness and eeriness while maintaining that original high-octane burning”. McBain is presently sharpening his blades and casting new spells that will transmogrify into Hellripper's Century Media debut “Coronach”.

The Noise Who Runs (Sneaker Pimps' Ian Pickering) releases scathing 'Bang Bang' single, heralding new 'RE: GEN X' album

UK alternative electro-pop artist The Noise Who Runs is back with the topical single 'Bang Bang' and accompanying video, capturing the psychic exhaustion of life lived inside permanent crisis mode. It’s a song about running on empty — physically, emotionally, politically — where outrage replaces thought and reaction substitutes for responsibility. Previewing the new 'RE: GEN X' album, forthcoming via TNWR Records, he also presents the similarly-minded 'The Bodies Are Under The Bus Again' with a video that will resonate with folks at their very core.

The Noise Who Runs is songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Ian Pickering, known for his work with Sneaker Pimps and Front Line Assembly. Native toHartlepool in the north-east of England, Pickering co-authored such Sneaker Pimps hits as 'Spin Spin Sugar', '6 Underground' and 'Tesko Suicide'. In 2019, he launched this project, three years after relocating to Lille, France.

“Bang Bang is a day in the life of a typical 21st Century employee. The verses are the day to day reality, the mundane grind of routine for little reward, struggling against soaring costs and stagnant wages, watching idiots with fortunes dictate the agenda for destroying, first, the post-war dream, and second, the entire planet on which we depend," says Ian Pickering.

“This is the reality for everyone, but it’s Generation X, the true beneficiaries of the post-war dream, who marched everyone up to the top of the hill and sat down to enjoy its ultimately selfish, me-first view, while Generation Y, Z and all who follow have to navigate life on the knife-edge precipice. And seemingly, it’s Disney lemmings time - honey, we fucked up the kids!”

The lyrics collapse the serious and the trivial into the same breath, mirroring a culture where catastrophe, misinformation and distraction coexist without hierarchy. Repeated questions about “bringing it back” point to our compulsion to recycle failed systems and ideas, even after recognising their damage, while the refusal of false enlightenment rejects the comforting myth that awareness alone leads to change.

The Noise Who Runs' new offerings follow the 2024 EP ‘Come and Join the Beautiful Army’ and the 2023 debut album ‘Preteretrospective’, both released to rave reviews and airplay in more than 60 countries. As with those, the new record was mixed and mastered by Colin C at The Cell Studio.

'RE: GEN X' is both a reckoning and a reply — a response from within a generation that inherited progress, equality, and expanding liberty, but failed to defend them when they came under threat. Framed by the cultural optimism of late-1980s youth and the 1990s second summer of love, the album questions how a generation defined by scepticism, freedom, and possibility became comfortable with inaction as those gains were slowly dismantled and how scepticism hardened into detachment, irony replaced action, and silence came to feel like neutrality. Rather than nostalgia, it offers a critique of passivity: what happens when a generation knows better, but does nothing.

Across the record, exhaustion, outrage, and repetition form a recurring loop. Political failure, cultural denial, and performative morality are examined not as abstract forces, but as habits — things learned, tolerated, and repeated. The album resists slogans and solutions, instead holding up a mirror to complicity, comfort and collapse. This record doesn’t ask to be forgiven; it asks to be examined — and leaves open the question of whether awareness, this time, will finally lead to action.

On March 10, 'Bang Bang' is available from fine music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. On May 8, the "RE: GEN X" album will be released via TNWR Records.

Green Carnation Seize the Moment on New Single “I Am Time”

Three decades into a storied career, Green Carnation continue to stand the test of time. Just last year, the Norwegian prog bards reached crushing new highs during the grand and gloomy opening chapter of their long-awaited album trilogy. Now, as the band descend into deeper, darker and more personal depths on Part II of A Dark Poem, they are breaking past the surface with the album’s emotional peak.

Today, Green Carnation are releasing the second advanced single from A Dark Poem, Part II: Sanguis. While awash with melancholy over the past, “I Am Time” seizes the moment with the band’s unwavering control and raw emotions.

“‘I Am Time’ is one of the songs from the forthcoming A Dark Poemalbum trilogy that discusses the fragile nature of our lives”, Green Carnation vocalist Kjetil Nordhus says. “We do not have control over time. We should try and live in the here and now, before suddenly, it’s too late”.  

“To make the song a bit more interesting, the lyrics personify time”, says Green Carnation bassist and lyricist Stein Roger Sordal. “They’re about how we should respect and cherish the time that we have”.

Listen to “I Am Time” below:

ACIDOSIS Release New Single “Tied To The Tracks” From Upcoming Album Arrival

Crossover thrash band ACIDOSIS have released their new single, “Tied To The Tracks,” taken from the upcoming full-length album Arrival, arriving March 27, 2026.

“Tied To The Tracks” traces back to the earliest origins of ACIDOSIS. The song was first written in 10th grade after the band’s frontman was kicked out of a friend’s band, channeling feelings of betrayal, confusion, and emotional fallout into what became the first fully realized ACIDOSIS song. A homemade music video for the track unexpectedly went viral on MySpace, helping build a grassroots cult following throughout Florida during the band’s formative years.

The track delivers a direct punch of crossover thrash energy driven by speed, precision, and raw emotion. The opening riff spins up with mounting tension before launching into a relentless climb of shredding guitars and driving momentum. Lyrically, the song explores the moment when trust collapses and emotions shift from shock to acceptance, capturing the realization that there is no turning back.

Influenced by classic thrash songwriting and fueled by a massive, chant-ready chorus, “Tied To The Tracks” remains a live favorite during the band’s Florida performances, where crowds continue to shout along to its arena-sized refrain.

Arrival marks the band’s next chapter and will be released worldwide on March 27, 2026.

ACIDOSIS will support the album with a run of U.S. tour dates this spring.

ACIDOSIS Tour Dates

3/11 | Milwaukee, WI @ Falcon Hall*
3/12 | Chicago, IL @ Sleeping Village
3/26 | Brooklyn, NY @ Market Hotel
3/27 | Boston, MA @ Haymarket Lounge

4/4 | Orlando, FL @ Will’s Pub
4/8 | Los Angeles, CA @ Non Plus Ultra*

* Ben Katzman only

Tickets: https://app.getpinpoint.io/bkdegreaser

Arrival is a full-length album nearly 20 years in the making. Originally drafted during Ben Katzman’s teenage years, the songs have been brought back to life by a re-formed ACIDOSIS lineup featuring Katzman on bass and vocals, Diego Edsel, Deo Budnevich, and Jonathan Rusten on guitars, and Harry Schwarz on drums. The album was produced by Katzman and Ryan Haft, mixed by Haft, and mastered by Howie Weinberg. Art is by Juan Montoya (TORCHE) and layout by Perry Shall (GREEN DAY, BLACK KEYS).

Jah Wobble & Jon Klein present scathing single 'Who Wins?' ahead of ‘Automated Paradise' LP

Previewing their new 'Automated Paradise' album, Jah Wobble (Public Image Ltd) and guitarist Jon Klein (Siouxsie & The Banshees, Specimen) reveal the fire-buster 'Who Wins?', a song about distrust — about the growing sense that the grand halls of power have become echo chambers of empty promises. The question echoes long after the final note fades — we probably wouldn't like the answer.

The title itself acts as a refrain and a provocation. Who wins? Not answered outright, the song understands something important: the most powerful question in politics is often the one that leaves the listener finishing the sentence themselves. Less of a statement and more like a mirror, this song fits squarely inside the long lineage of protest music. Songs that capture a moment when the atmosphere shifts — when dissatisfaction becomes a chorus and the private complaint becomes public noise.

'Automated Paradise' is Wobble & Klein's third collaborative record and also their debut album as a duo with Dimple Discs, previewed by the motorik lead track ‘Fading Away’, pulsating with the raw electrical tension of British post-punk and new wave. These two legends first combined forces on the 'Metal Box – Rebuilt In Dub' album in 2021, they continue to collaborate live and in the studio.

"'Who Wins?' is a good old protest song, pointing fingers and making a racket! It was a bass line that turned into a metal riff. The noisier songs on this album tend to reflect on today’s information overload, where there’s no security, and people are becoming more polemic and stressed, but there seems to be a thread of hope that truth and justice will maybe prevail," says Jon Klein.

"Working with Jah Wobble is always an inspiring experience. When I started working with him in recording sessions, he often quoted the words of Holger Czukay, the bass player of German band Can: “First we play, then afterwards we talk! We like to make things happen in the moment. Often we complete a working draft to a piece of music from scratch in a few hours.”

Jah Wobble adds, "The music comes from that silent place. It’s pre-existing. You just allow it to flow...  Proper post punk. Angry and humorous. Okay, it’s the end of civilisation. But nothing lasts forever right? We shouldn’t take it to heart."

This is Jah Wobble’s first post-punk album in recent years, these brash guitar-driven tracks reflecting his preoccupation with the declining state of the nation. Driven by his weekly experience with Klein, working at the "Tuned In" music community project in Merton, this record recalls the spirit of Mark Stewart - angry in an empathetic, constructive way. The lyrical content mainly came together on the spot in the studio.

This album follows two 2025 albums for Wobble -  ‘Dub Volume 1' (Dimple Discs) and the expanded reissue of the 2017 album 'The Usual Suspects', featuring 25 career highlights, re-recorded and including some of Wobble’s finest material, alongside tracks by Invaders Of The Heart and PiL.

Guitarist and producer Jon Klein was a member of Siouxsie and the Banshees from 1987 until 1994 (the 'Peepshow', 'Superstition' and 'The Rapture' era). Originally in the Bristol band Europeans, he then formed the glam-goth act Specimen and relocated to London, where he co-founded The Batcave nightclub. He has worked with Talvin Singh and Sinéad O'Connor, and co-produced a string of No. 1 albums for Warner-signed Fangoria, fueling a decade-long streak of chart-topping success in Spain. 

Born John Wardle, bassist and vocalist Jah Wobble is from East London. An original member of Public Image Ltd (PiL) from 1978-80, he made two seminal albums with the band, including the iconic ‘Metal Box’. Wobble formed Invaders of the Heart in 1982, collaborating with Can's Holger Czukay, Jaki Liebezeit, U2's The Edge and producer François Kevorkian. By the 1990s, he was well known, had chart success and a Mercury Music Prize nomination for the album ‘Rising Above Bedlam'. After releasing the top-40 album ‘Take Me To God’ and then ‘Heaven and Earth' via Island Records, Wardle fled record company constraints to more experimental recordings.

Wobble has collaborated with Sinéad O’Connor, Massive Attack, Ginger Baker, Björk, Brian Eno and Pharoah Sanders, was part of the supergroup The Damage Manual, worked with Julie Campbell aka LoneLady on ‘Psychic Life’, and with his wife Zi Lan Liao on the album ‘Chinese Dub, winning the Songlines Magazine World Music Award. He also plays and records with his sons Charlie and John Wardle in Tian Qiyi.  2024 brought his 'Timeless Roots' album with Horace Andy, followed by 2025's 'Old Fashioned Ways' album with Jamaica's Ken Boothe. Wobble played on Richard Russell’s album ‘Everything is Recorded' (notably ‘Losing You’ feat. Sampha).

Wobble published his autobiography ‘Memoirs of a Geezer: Music, Life, Mayhem’ via Serpent’s Tail in 2009, following his 2008 radio documentary on Sid Vicious for BBC Radio 3. 30 Hertz Records, the independent label Wobble launched in 1997, still releases music in collaboration with Cherry Red,  including 'Dark Luminosity – The 21st Century Collection' and 'In Dub II: Deluxe'.

On March 27, 'Automatic Paradise' is available on CD and transparent vinyl, limited to 800 copies. The digital download can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp. Jah Wobble & The Invaders Of The Heart continue touring the UK in 2026, for which tickets are available at https://jahwobble.com/#live

The Amity Affliction Tease Upcoming Album With Video for "Bleed"

THE AMITY AFFLICTION continue to tease the arrival of their much-anticipated new studio record, HOUSE OF CARDS, with the reveal of a blistering new single — "BLEED."

Released as the band continues their extensive tour of regional Australia, the latest from THE AMITY AFFLICTION lands with impact: A ferocious stride forward for the group into a brand new era of artistry. 

Where previous single "HOUSE OF CARDS" was an emotionally weighted insight into the relationship songwriter JOEL BIRCH and his siblings shared with their mother, "BLEED" has manifested itself into an avenue for Birch to look at public perceptions and personas, versus the reality he exists in every day.

As he explains, "This song is a bit of a 'fuck you' to people online who leave comments like they know me personally, or know anything about what's happening in my life, and a bit of a reminder to myself that I am not beholden to that idea, and I am the person I know myself to be. 'I bleed the way I bleed...' is my way of saying that I am the way I am not the way I am perceived to be by people who don't actually know me and have formed or projected an idea of me onto me by way of social media."

Released alongside the single, THE AMITY AFFLICTION share the music video for ‘BLEED’, directed by [DIRECTOR NAME].

Watch "BLEED" music video Below:

The release of "BLEED" further positions the HOUSE OF CARDS era as one of the most exciting and defining for THE AMITY AFFLICTION — a band that has been driven by the desire to navigate new creative territory, music that empowers both them as a unit as well as their community of fans who have been with them throughout all their previous chapters. 

HOUSE OF CARDS, the first full-length record to feature clean vocalist JONNY REEVES, is a moment of reinvention — and it is one the band is set to unleash in its full glory across a jam packed year of international touring to come.

Bike Routes Announce New Album "Prairie" + Share "Delicate" Video

New Jersey-based, indie alternative artist BIKE ROUTES, the alter ego of multi-instrumentalist David Osterhout, is pleased to announce the June 26 release of his third album PRAIRIE via Blue Grape Music. Pre-order it here.

Today, Bike Routes has shared the video for their first single "DELICATE." It's a pulse-pounding, feel-good anthem for the underdogs that's anything but what its title might suggest! The track also features a woozy saxophone, courtesy of none other than Jake Clemons of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band. The connection is always Jersey Strong.

Watch the video below. 

"The quintessential Bike Routes song, 10 years in the making," Osterhout says. "It's about fighting for yourself and for your dreams and for everything that you've ever loved." 

Prairie follows the Rush of Energy EP, which was Bike Routes' Blue Grape debut and yielded the Top 20 hit Alternative Radio hit "World Apart."

Bike Routes will be hitting the road and bringing his intimate compositions on tour with Worry Club this spring. All dates are below, including some headline shows!

Listening to Bike Routes is a lot like watching a montage from a classic coming-of-age flick.  Illuminated in the glow of warm synths, sparse guitar, and rich beats, you might catch a glimpse of a small town (much like the one you call home), a lovestruck young couple (as they make their escape into a new life), or an extraordinary feat accomplished by a seemingly ordinary person. Set to a soundtrack-esque patchwork of indie, emo, post-punk, and pop, a flurry of memories, experiences, and emotions flicker in and out of focus under the auteur-like direction of singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer David Osterhout. 

"For this album, we had two years of careful and precise planning," Osterhout says. "These 11 songs are the perfect encapsulation of what Bike Routes was meant to be from the beginning. Even back when I was playing coffee shops ten years ago, this record is what I've been building towards." 

Ever since his childhood, the South Jersey native has harbored an intense and obsessive passion for music. After years of grinding locally with an acoustic guitar, he introduced the world to Bike Routes with his 2020 debut Let It Go. His songcraft naturally evolved across Love Is An Action [2022] and the Rush of Energy EP [2024]. Along the way, he developed his stage presence, touring with Hawthorne Heights. Capitalizing on this momentum, he architected what would become Prairie with longtime producer Zach Tuch. David made a series of trips to Los Angeles where he brought these songs to life in Tuch's Woodland Hills studio. This time around, he leaned on his formative musical inspirations and nodded to favorite authors like Iris Murdoch, Kurt Vonnegut, and Cormac McCarthy whose Border Trilogy proved to be especially influential.

"New Jersey is big for me," he goes on. "As a kid, I listened to a lot of Bruce Springsteen in addition to My Chemical Romance. Then, my mom introduced me to ABBA. I'm a huge hip-hop fan, but I love hardcore, grind, and death metal too. My music pulls from all directions. I want my voice and lyrics to fit over anything. I added full band elements on Love Is An Action and expanded the sound even more on Rush of Energy. I'm in a different place again. Bike Routes will still be Bike Routes no matter what."

As Everything Unfolds Release Video for New Single "DENIAL"

As Everything Unfolds are gearing up for the release of their highly-anticipated new album, DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?, on April 10 via Century Media.

The release of new single "DENIAL." 

"Denial is the hardest thing to watch someone go through," shares Charlie Rolfe. "You can say or do nothing that will make them realize the horrible situation they're in, you see small moments of clarity where they're screaming out for help but they fall back into denial. It's their closest friend, their comfort. I found it the hardest phase to watch someone in addiction recovery go through. Their disregard for your emotional and physical well-being, your feelings don't even come into their mind. No matter how much you try to sympathize and say that you understand the pain they’re going through, it's never enough to convince them that they're not alone and their own destructive misery feels like they find joy in inflicting pain upon others, they feel better spreading their pain rather than facing it."

Depth. An infinity loop of layers that unravel over time. In the case of Charlie Rolfe, the importance of depth has come to define both the art that she creates — as frontwoman and lead vocalist of As Everything Unfolds — and re-contextualize the art she holds dearest.

"As I've gotten older, I've appreciated the depth of anything in my life," she explains. "I can never accept something for how it is on the surface, I have to understand it." Whether it’s the allegories and social commentary in Blade Runner,that desire for artistic depth flows through Charlie.

"I love absorbing information," she adds. "I think that information is one of the most powerful tools in the world, and it's undervalued by a lot of people. The more you know, the more you can potentially set yourself free." Which brings us to just one thread of the concept behind DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE?, the first album from the Buckinghamshire quartet since signing to Century Media Records.

Set free from who? What? The rigor of that question is what characterizes the fluidity of As Everything Unfolds' third full-length, which grapples with the tightrope between a dream state and reality. Should you walk the tightrope and risk leaving your safe haven of fantasy? Whatever the choice – conscious or  otherwise – will you find 'freedom' at the end of the road? That never-ending labyrinth of questions is what shapes the crux of the record.

Tragedy hit camp As Everything Unfolds in August 2024 when drummer Jamie Gowers, who was also Charlie's boyfriend, passed away. Midway through writing this album, the quartet banded together to re-ignite the flames of As Everything Unfolds.

"It’s going to be shit and it's going to be horrible, but running away from it felt like the wrong thing to do," recalls Charlie. "This is the hardest record we will ever have to do — how can we flip it into something we're proud of, and give it the longevity and legacy it deserves?'"

Taking two years to give writing and pre-production the TLC it deserved, the album was recorded across three weeks in February 2025.

Despite initially feeling like a record of two halves, Charlie was never going to settle for anything other than a unified concept. It was when an old university mate recommended a book called The Creative Act by Rick Rubin that inspired the eureka moment for this record.

Ultimately, DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE? is an alternate lens through which Charlie examines reality, and the never-ending dichotomy between hiding and confronting it. As someone who experienced a lot of maladaptive daydreaming during the early days of her trauma, the tool and throughline was there for Charlie to tell her story.

After a turbulent few years, there is a creative depth to DID YOU ASK TO BE SET FREE? that ensures it’s their strongest album to date.

"It’s told its story, and I don’t feel like I need to take it any further," she boldly declares. "It’s a capsule of that moment, of the things that happened to me, and I’m now in a new part of my life. That’s why drawing the line under it is important."

Evergrey Announce New Album "Architects Of A New Weave" + Share Animated Video For "Architects Of The New Weave"

Shortly after announcing their fifteenth (!!!) studio album, Architects Of A New Weave, set for release on June 5, 2026 via Napalm Records, EVERGREY unveil their new single and manifest of beautiful darkness, "Architects Of The New Weave", alongside a visually-striking animated video. Once again, Gothenburg’s finest export proves its unmatched ability to craft timeless melodies, powerful riffs, and gripping lyrics,  while continuing to surprise their devoted fans with an innovative approach, even after more than 30 years of existence.

EVERGREY ’s new full-length, Architects Of A New Weave, will be released just days before the band takes the stage as special guest to the undisputed kings of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, for two shows on their "Run For Your Lives" World Tour. This is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed: A plunge into thinning air, burning worlds, and lingering guilt—only to break free with fierce momentum. The album refuses to wallow. It ascends—fast, heavy, and cinematic. But it refuses to hide in the dark. It rises: Quick, fierce, and utterly transformative.

Tom Englund about the new single "Architects Of The New Weave":
"'Architects Of The New Weave' – It’s a blistering first single from our 15th studio album, Architects Of A New Weave, (or the second ferocious strike if you're counting our standalone powerhouse "OXYGEN!" as its own beast)! I am not afraid to claim this is a no-brainer, sing-along friendly, straight-up great metal song! It came ignited from Rikard Zander's killer keyboard riff, which we hammered into a short, but massive headbanger! When crafting that chorus keyboard line, 'Rainbow In The Dark' was blasting in my head – pure epic inspiration, giving it that timeless, fist-pumping edge. There are dual guitar solos, trading fire in classic old-school style, melodic and memorable. We can't wait to let this rip live! I'm torn on music videos sometimes – I adore them as an art form, but too often the visuals steal focus from the music itself."

Watch the animation video for "Architects Of The New Weave" Below:

Tom Englund about the animation video:
"We went bold: a stunning, immersive introduction to Mattias Norén's absolute magnum opus of album artwork. Every tiny, intricate detail comes alive on screen, with the track thundering as the perfect dark soundtrack.
- It's hypnotic, lets the art breathe, and pulls you deeper into our world -
We could've chosen any track from the album as the lead, but this one's the perfect explosive opener to our new era of beautiful darkness. I've never been more fired up. Crank it loud, join the weave, and let's build something unstoppable together."

Pre-Order Architects Of A New Weave — NOW!

Dive into Architects Of A New Weave’s standout tracks like "The World is on Fire", "Leaving The Emptiness", "Heaven", and "The Prophecy", and the breathtaking title anthem "Architects Of The New Weave". Their choruses break through like sunlight piercing storm clouds: enormous, cinematic melodies that pull you upward, riffs with genuine weight and bite, and vocals dripping with raw, unflinching truth. In one breath, you’re shouldering buried longing; in the next, you’re weightless, fearless, endless. Scars transform into badges of survival, fractures fuel reinvention. In the second half of the album, fellow Gothenburg icon Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Grand Cadaver, Cemetery Skyline) joins Tom S. Englund in vocal duties for "A Burning Flame", the voices of the two scene legends intertwined compellingly. Architects Of A New Weave was produced by Tom S. Englund and Vikram Shankar, with a stellar mix by Adam "Nolly" Getgood.

Among other exclusive formats, Architects Of A New Weave comes with a bonus album, containing bonus tracks "Heights" and "One Heart", as well as an album mix of the previously released standalone single "OXYGEN!" (2025). Additionally, it features a demo version of "Longing", instrumental tracks of
"Leaving The Emptiness", both new songs, as well as a live version of "Falling From The Sun", the hit single off the previous record, Theories of Emptiness (2024) and continuation of “Ominous” off of A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) (2022).

LOST IN HOLLYWOOD RELEASE "CAN YOU FEEL THE PAIN" FROM THEIR UPCOMING SELF-TITLED ALBUM

Lost In Hollywood keep the momentum going with their new single "Can You Feel The Pain." 

Following a run of well-received releases that have steadily put the band on the map, the track marks the next chapter in the band's fast-growing journey — all leading up to the release of their self-titled album, set to arrive on March 20.

With "Can You Feel The Pain," Lost In Hollywood expand on their evolving sound. The song leans into a darker atmosphere and sharp, modern songwriting, combining heavy moments with melody while staying grounded in the emotional intensity that defines the band’s music. Built on strong dynamics and a constant sense of tension, the track unfolds with a drive that keeps listeners locked in from beginning to end.

To celebrate the release, the band will host a special show at Hamburg's renowned Passage Kino, turning the iconic cinema into a unique setting for fans to experience the new material live.

The momentum continues this April, when Lost In Hollywood hit the road alongside Archers, bringing their energetic live performance to stages across Europe.

With "Can You Feel The Pain," Lost In Hollywood underline their growing presence in the modern metalcore scene and show no signs of slowing down.

From Ashes to New Drop "Die for You" Song + Video

FROM ASHES TO NEW — Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), and Jimmy Bennett (guitar) — recently announced their new album REFLECTIONS, out April 17 via Better Noise Music. Pre-order it HERE.

The Lancaster, PA-based quintet shares the latest single from the album with "DIE FOR YOU."

Watch the video, featuring Cruella Morgan, below.

According to Brandyberry, the song reflects "the fallout of a relationship built on control, desire, and guilt. It's a song that captures the exhaustion of giving endlessly to someone who keeps asking for more and mistaking survival for love. At its core, the song is about the moment clarity breaks through, forcing you to question how much of yourself you're willing to lose."

Case echoes these sentiments, furthering, "'Die For You' is about bending over backwards, doing everything you possibly can to please someone in a relationship, and it just never ends up being enough. And it feels like no matter what you do, it is just never good enough."

The weight of the subject matter is matched by the heft of the layered vocals and accompanying razor sharp riffs and moody melodies. Fans cannot help but feel the song's very real beating heart.

The 12-track REFLECTIONS is the follow-up to 2023's BLACKOUT, which achieved the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. It was a massive success. Yet, in late 2023, FROM ASHES TO NEW arrived at a creative crossroads. The group wrapped up demos for 16 songs for what was supposed to be their fifth studio album. However, instead of sprinting towards the finish line and completing the record, the band scrapped those demo sessions. The process went against everything the band had ever done before. But largely starting anew —they kept two songs— was liberating. The band collectively knew it had to make something that remained true to their traditional sound yet broadened the tent to capture the ears and focus of a fresh audience. "I wanted to take what we are good at and push it even further," Brandyberry says. "That was the process for this whole record."

As a result, fans can hear a reinvigorated FROM ASHES TO NEW on REFLECTIONS.

In other From Ashes to New news, the single "Drag Me" is Top 20 on Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart.

FROM ASHES TO NEW will remain on the road all year.

First, they head to Europe. Two of the shows sold out within 30 minutes of going on sale, highlighting the band's international demand! Then they will hit the road for a 42-date U.S. tour supporting Black Veil Brides, along with TX2, and As December Falls, starting April 25 in Riverside, CA. Tickets are available HERE.

They will join Shinedown for a leg of the band's summer tour in July and August, as well. All dates are below.

Their latest singles, 'Aurora' and 'Pills From The Start' mastered by Ted Jensen (STERLING SOUND – BRING ME THE HORIZON, GREEN DAY, KORN, and many more), proved once again that THE NARRATOR is essential for every modern metal playlist. With their sophomore album 'Phosphor' due out on May 8th and a European headline tour as well as festival appearances later this year, one thing is certain: the best is yet to come!

ANGUS McSIX Share New Single & Video "Dig Down" Featuring Van Canto

ANGUS McSIX teams up with Van Canto for the new single, "Dig Down", an out-of-the-box harbinger from their sophomore album, Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye, out March 13, 2026 via Napalm Records. Mixing their epicness with the German acappella troupe's signature style, the power metal supergroup crafts an undeniably entertaining and inciting hymn. Led by their new hero, Adam McSix, the band is ready to face the perils of the universe on the follow-up to their chart-storming debut, Angus McSix and the Sword of Power, which reached #10 in Germany, #16 in Switzerland, and #26 in Austria, and with its lead single amassing over three million Spotify streams. Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye is an exciting passing of the torch, and "Dig Down" invites you to pick up a sword!

ANGUS McSIX on "Dig Down" (feat. Van Canto): 
"Our three heroes Adam McSix, Orz Zero, and The Dwarf are taking a break in a cave in the mountain "Ironpick Peak" when Adam suddenly notices that The Dwarf might have set her eyes on the Orc. At least, that's what he assumes. Throughout the song, he makes fun of The Dwarf. Finally, she’s had enough and quickly orders barbarians from "Only Heroes" to teach Adam a lesson. Unfortunately, she misspells the order and the bards of Van Canto arrive. They initially reprimand Adam for bullying, which is not appropriate for a prince, but then quickly realize that the song is "really catchy" and end up joining in..."

ANGUS MCSIX rise from the aftermath of previous historic battles with Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye, out March 13, 2026 via Napalm Records. Following the chart-storming debut (Angus McSix and the Sword of Powerinstantly rose to the top 10 of the German Album charts in 2023), Angus’ brother, Adam McSix (Sam Nyman, Manimal), now steps forth as the main character and lead singer. Also adding the brute force of new guitarist, The Dwarf (Jasmin Pabst) besides guitar Amazon Thalestris (Thalia Belazecca, Primal Fear), the power metal supergroup is thrilled for new adventures, one being to save the legendary hero Angus from his cruel fate of being frozen in an ice block prison in which his nemesis, the Archdemon Seebulon (Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann, Orden Ogan), trapped him. ANGUS McSIX embark on their absurd journey wielding the power of metal and a tongue-in-cheek attitude as their mighty weapons!

Pre-Order Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye — NOW!

The eleven tracks of Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye feature the band’s one-of-a-kind storytelling, proving even more epic, absurd, and magnificent than ever. Previously released "6666" still features their now-imprisoned frontman Angus McSix (Thomas Winkler) on vocals, passing the torch to Adam McSix and placing nothing less than the fate of the universe on his shoulders. "The Fire Of Yore" bridges the gap between Manowar, Modern Talking, and Electric Callboy and fully opens up the new chapter – Angus, after all, possesses no memory of his previous adventures, leaving all the more room for more lore to be introduced through Adam! ANGUS McSIX gain further help on their quest from a cappella group Van Canto on "Dig Down" and Finnish Turmion Kätilöt on "Techno Men". "Ork Zero", referencing their monstrous drummer (Gerit Lamm, ex-Xandria), and "Starlight Stronghold" are electrifying disco bangers, while "Let The Search Begin" – following instrumental break "Aetheriyja" – is another true metal hymn. "The Power Of Metal" adds Freedom Call to the party before the mighty heroes take their final stand in "Into Battle".

Charmingly quizzical and undeniably entertaining, Angus McSix and the All-Seeing Astral Eye crafts one catchy anthem after another. With rich storytelling and over-the-top pathos, ANGUS McSIX invite you to pick up a sword and fight side by side with them against ancient powers to fulfill Adam’s destiny!

THE WHO ANNOUNCE LIVE AT EDEN PROJECT: A HISTORIC PERFORMANCE WITH THE HEART OF ENGLAND PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA

IN STORE MAY 29 — PRE-ORDER

FIRST SINGLE "PINBALL WIZARD" OUT NOW — LISTEN

Few bands have shaped the landscape of rock music with the force and longevity of The Who.

For nearly six decades, their sound, spirit, and unmistakable energy have echoed across generations, influencing artists and audiences around the world. In 2026, the band adds a remarkable new chapter to their legacy with Live at Eden Project — a landmark live recording that captures the raw power, emotional depth, and artistic ambition of their unforgettable July 2023 performance at Cornwall's iconic Eden Project.

Set within one of the UK's most sustainable and visually striking venues — a breathtaking network of biomes nestled in the Cornish countryside — the concert stands as a testament not only to The Who's musical evolution but also to their enduring cultural relevance. Backed by the Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra, founding members Pete Townshend and Roger Daltrey delivered a performance that fused classic rock intensity with orchestral grandeur. The Eden Project's natural acoustics and enclosed structures created a warm, detailed sonic environment that offered a clarity and intimacy unmatched by traditional stadium settings.

The recording reflects this unique atmosphere. Fans have long cherished The Who's "special location" shows, and Eden stands among the most memorable — a once-in-a-lifetime convergence of music, environment, and artistic vision. The smaller capacity fostered a deeper connection between the band and audience, allowing for heightened interaction, greater emotional resonance, and a sense of being inside the performance rather than observing it from afar. This intimacy, combined with the band's refined orchestral approach, captures The Who at a defining moment in their modern era.

Live at Eden Project also presents one of the strongest and most focused setlists of The Who’s orchestral period. Alongside beloved anthems such as "Baba O'Riley" and "Pinball Wizard," the album includes rarely performed gems like "Cry If You Want," "Anyway, Anyhow, Anywhere," and "The Rock," creating a career-spanning journey that balances hits, deep cuts, and orchestral showpieces with remarkable fluidity.

Today's announcement coincides with the launch of the first single, "Pinball Wizard," which is available for streaming and download immediately. The track offers a powerful first glimpse into the atmosphere and artistry of the Eden performance, capturing the heightened clarity, emotional nuance, and orchestral depth that define the full release.

Scheduled for release on May 29th, Live at Eden Project will be available as a 2CD Digipak, a limited 3LP Gatefold edition pressed on recycled vinyl with no plastic shrink wrap and packed in a separate paper wallet, a standard 3LP Gatefold, and across all major digital platforms. Every format showcases the full emotional and sonic range of a night that stands among the most compelling in The Who's recent history.

Vibrant, immersive, and uniquely alive, Live at Eden Project is the definitive document of The Who's orchestral era — a recording that captures not only a legendary band in peak form but also the spirit of a venue whose environmental ethos and natural beauty mirror the band's own commitment to evolution and innovation.

POWER PALADIN Release New Single “Aegis Of Eternity”

Icelandic heavy metal torchbearers POWER PALADIN have released their new single “Aegis Of Eternity.” The track is taken from the band’s upcoming album Beyond The Reach Of Enchantment, set for a release on March 27th via ROAR - A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music, and offers another glimpse at what’s to come.

Guitarist Atli Guðlaugsson says about the song:
"A high tempo thrashy power metal song with some influences from JPM, Aegis of Eternity tells a spooky story of some sinister dealings with witchcraft and sorcery."

Witchcraft, sorcery, metal - “Aegis Of Eternity” conjures it all!

With their forthcoming offering Beyond The Reach Of Enchantment, POWER PALADIN take the next step in their musical journey. The album features eight epic tracks, each unfolding like a chapter in a sweeping saga of power, mystery and adventure. 

Building on the success of their debut With the Magic of Windfyre Steel, the band delivers a more mature and refined sound while fully retaining the energy and spirit that defined their early days. The album was mixed by Haukur Hannes (AUÐN, DYNFARI) and mastered by Frank de Jong (BLEEDING GODS), resulting in a production that is both powerful and crystal clear.

Once again, POWER PALADIN pay homage to their influences - IRON MAIDEN, DIO and HELLOWEEN - while confidently carving out their own place in the modern power metal landscape. The album artwork, created by James Child (Astral Clock Tower Studios), perfectly captures the adventurous and fantastical essence of the record, that promises to be a bold and immersive next chapter for POWER PALADIN!

Crippled Black Phoenix Release New Single “Colder and Colder”

CRIPPLED BLACK PHOENIX return with “Colder and Colder”, the second advanced single off their upcoming album Sceaduhelm. The new single stands as one of the album’s starkest meditations on emotional finality, articulating the quiet shock of love slipping irretrievably away. The band are premiering the song today via Decibel Magazine.

Listen to Colder and Colder  Below:

Sceaduhelm comes out April 17th via Season of Mist.

Composed by Justin Greaves, with lyrics & vocals by Justin Storms of Wailin Storms, “Colder and Colder” unfolds with restrained intensity.

“I received this song from Greaves along with the title and immediately was drawn to the melancholic sound”, Justin Storms reflects. “I remember when I first put on my headphones and listened to ‘Colder and Colder’. I started to hum a few melodies while listening to the song.”

Those early fragments quickly solidified into the song’s core lyrical motif. “It didn’t take long to write down some of the phrases that became the song’s verses,” Storms continues, “‘colder and colder, see your hand on my shoulder, colder and colder, see your eyes looking over’. I wanted to create a rhythmic sort of pattern with the song title and the vocal elements.”

Justin Greaves positions “Colder and Colder” as a bridge within Sceaduhelm. “Musically, ‘Colder And Colder’ is one of my favorites on Sceaduhelm. It’s the link between classic CBP style and the more austere dark pop aspect of how I write.”

The song’s title, which was selected from an existing list of ideas, crystallizes the mood. “Working with Storms on this song was a total victory”, Greaves says. “He’s an awesome vocalist and his lyrics really give it a chilling tragic story.”

Recorded between 2023 and 2025 across Chapel Studios in Lincolnshire, Kapsylen Studio in Stockholm, and House Of Foto in Louisville, Sceaduhelm was produced by Justin Greaves, mixed by Iver Sandøy at Solslottet Studio in Bergen, and mastered by Magnus Lindberg in Stockholm.

Within Crippled Black Phoenix’s wider catalogue, Sceaduhelm does not seek to resolve previous narratives or replicate past high points. Instead, it documents a moment of exposure and endurance, listening closely to what remains when spectacle fades and outrage exhausts itself. It stands as a severe, human record, concerned less with declaration than with persistence, and affirms once more the band’s refusal to stand still, soften its gaze, or offer easy answers.
