Wailin Storms Release Haunting New Video for “Its All Dark Now Where Your Eyes Used To Be”

Wailin Storms are catching fire with noisy and bluesy explosions of Southern Gothic Rock. Like moths to a flame, critics are mesmerized by the Durham, North Carolina band’s new album, The Arsonist.

As the band prepare to burn rubber on their upcoming U.S. East Coast Tour for The Arsonist, today, Wailin Storms are releasing a new video for the album’s chilling closer. Filmed in one take and recorded live with no editing inside an old church, the gothic ballad “It’s All Dark Now Where Your Eyes Used To Be” will haunt you to the grave.

”’It’s All Dark Now Where Your Eyes Used To Be” is about coming to terms with the realization that death comes for us all”, Wailin Storms vocalist and guitarist Justin Storms says. “I started writing this song when I was in Belgium, after I saw an old church that looked like a skull. It’s the last song on The Arsonist and is very spare and sad, but there’s also a sliver of hope. Life is temporary and that’s where its beauty lies”.

Bay Area Thrashers FORBIDDEN Announce Self-Titled Album Set for Release on October 23rd via BLKIIBLK

Today, thrash metal pioneers FORBIDDEN are proud to announce their new self-titled album, set for release on October 23rd via BLKIIBLK, marking the band's first full-length release since 2010. To celebrate the announcement and offer fans a taste of what to expect, FORBIDDEN unleashes their new single, "Psyclops," alongside an official video.

About the new single, guitarist Craig Locicero shares:

"'Psyclops' was the final song completed for our newest self-titled offering. It was part of the last batch of music completed with Jeremy Von Epp & myself on the home stretch of our writing sessions & it came together quickly. The song itself is a hypnotizing stomper. Heavy footed like millions of people marching against how things stand in the status quo. Norman’s lyrics for 'Psyclops' should be left to the interpretation of the listeners. The chorus paints a vivid picture…'Forsaken, fast asleep and trapped inside a maze, Complacent eyes securely locked in an obscure gaze.'”

Watch the Official Video for "Psyclops" Below:

FORBIDDEN’s legacy is one of being the youngest, hungriest and most ambitious of the Bay Area brethren that has launched metal paradigm-shifters from Metallica to Machine Head. With a reconstituted lineup, guitarist Craig Locicero and bassist Matt Camacho, have crafted an hour-plus masterpiece of thrashy predilection, emotive musical movements, and prog-scraping sonic ambitions. From the intensity of opening track, “Single Point Failure” to the philosophical shades of the 9-minute closer, “Flower of Life,” this is FORBIDDEN not merely stretching beyond the steely foundations of 1988’s classic ‘Forbidden Evil’ or the quantum leap of 1990’s ‘Twisted Into Form,’ but the sound of a band with a new sense of scope and purpose. Produced by Locicero, Kontos & Zach Ohren (Machine Head), ‘Forbidden’ isn’t merely a revival for quintet, but full-blown reinvigoration and purgative endpoint for this Bay Area metal institution.

Locicero comments on the album:

"Making 'Forbidden' felt more like an odyssey than a typical recording process. We set out to create a record that reminds people why they fell in love with thrash and heavy metal in the first place, embracing raw energy, melody, and the imperfections that give heavy music its character. Every member brought their best, and having Brann Dailor (Mastodon) join us on'Sycophantasy' was an incredible addition. 'Forbidden' is five lifetimes of experience forged into one piece of metallic art."

Hollywood Vampires Drop Live "Ace of Spades" Video

Hollywood Vampires, the rock supergroup featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry, and Tommy Henriksen, are releasing "Ace Of Spades" as the second single from their upcoming live album At Montreux Jazz Festival. Recorded during the band's 2018 appearance at the legendary Montreux Jazz Festival, the track is a powerful tribute to one of rock's most beloved icons — Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead.
 
Accompanied by a live video filmed in Montreux, the performance captures the raw energy and chemistry that have made Hollywood Vampires a standout live act.
 
"Lemmy was one of a kind," the band says. "'Ace Of Spades' remains one of the defining songs in rock history, and this performance honors his legacy."
 
A highlight of the upcoming album, “Ace Of Spades” reflects the band's long-standing mission of celebrating the artists who shaped rock music. Few songs embody the rebellious spirit of rock 'n' roll quite like Motörhead's signature anthem, making it a fitting addition to a set that bridges the Vampires' own material with tributes to their musical heroes.

156/Silence Release New Single "Swept From Under (Call of the Void)" And Music Video From Upcoming New Album 'From A Distance' via Pure Noise Records

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania atmospheric metalcore quintet 156/Silence have released their latest offering, "Swept From Under (Call of the Void)" and the official music video. The track is taken from the band's upcoming new full-length, 'From A Distance', out on September 4 via Pure Noise Records. Elaborating on the inspiration behind the track, the band shared:

"The call of the void is the voice in our heads that wants to self-destruct even when we don’t feel bad. A compulsion to hurt ourselves even if we don’t want to. Being swept from under by intrusive thoughts."

'From A Distance' is available now for pre-order at the link here. Stream "Swept From Under (Call of the Void)" here and watch the music video below.

Rotting Christ Announce Reissue of Sanctus Diavolos

ROTTING CHRIST are announcing the reissue of Sanctus Diavolos. Originally released through Century Media in September 2004, the Greek legends’ eighth full-length is the final pillar from their gothic period and one of the band’s most extreme and cohesive albums  

Season of Mist will reissue Sanctus Diavolos on black and colored vinyl on September 11, 2026.

Pre-order

https://redirect.season-of-mist.com/RCReissues

Sanctus Diavolos was the first album Rotting Christ frontman Sakis Tolis wrote after the departures of the band’s longtime guitarist Costas Vasilakopoulos and keyboardist Georgios Tolias. Sakis absorbed both roles himself, handling guitars, keys and vocals alongside his brother Themis Tolis on drums and Andreas Lagios on bass. Across ten songs, the album moves from the aggression of opener "Visions of a Blind Order" through mid-tempo, riff-driven black and gothic metal, pausing at the string-and-choir interlude "Sanctimonious," before closing on the sprawling, choir-drenched title track.

Thematically, Sanctus Diavolos frames its central figure as Lucifer the light-bearer, a seductive, welcoming presence. This distinction sets it apart from the band's earlier work and from most of the genre's stock devil-worship posturing. Symphonic and choral writing plays a larger role here than on any previous Rotting Christ album. “Visions of a Blind Order” features a guest solo from Gus G and choir arrangements by Christos Antoniou of Septicflesh, which were performed live by an eight-person choir.

Sanctus Diavolos was recorded at SCA Studios in Athens and mixed by Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman in Sweden.

Current Line-up:

Sakis Tolis — Vocals, Guitar

Themis Tolis — Drums

Kostis Foukarakis — Guitars

Kostas Cheliotis — Bass

Original Line-up:
Sakis Tolis — Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards
Themis Tolis — Drums
Andreas Lagios — Bass

Guest Musicians:
Gus G — Guest Solo on "Visions of a Blind Order"
Christos Antoniou — Choir Arrangement

The Barbarians of California Are "Really Really Rad" — WATCH // New Album "MEGATONS" Out 8/21

The Barbarians Of California, featuring Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION and Eric Stenman of Tinfed and a noted producer, remain equal opportunity iconoclasts with each new song and video they drop. Described as "so f**king good" by VICE, they prove that they are, in fact, "REALLY REALLY RAD." And they do so with the video for their latest track, titled "REALLY REALLY RAD."

Watch it below.

Here, we find the fearless Barbarians rollerblading while frolicking the ocean; while doing one-armed "push ups"; and while playing guitar by the beach. Don't try this at home folks; instead, let the Barbarians do it for you. Musically, they remain riff lords, doling out dissonance by the tonnage, with some disco fun closing out the track.

"'REALLY REALLY RAD' was really fun to make. ' REALLY REALLY RAD' has really fun dynamics. 'REALLY REALLY RAD' is really good," says Bruno. (We think he meant it is "REALLY REALLY RAD," actually.)

The song lives on the band's really, really rad second album MEGATONS, which arrives in just four weeks on August 21. Pre-order and pre-save it here.

With MEGATONS, The Barbarians of California are unleashing fresh chaos straight from the sun-soaked, teeth-gnashing heart of the Golden State. Blending raw hardcore energy, riffs by the pound, and that signature mix of ferocity and tongue-in-cheek humor, these new songs hit like a caffeine-fueled fever dream. Through and through, the band delivers unapologetic anthems that feel both brutally fun yet dangerously addictive.

"Everyone has heard of the sophomore slump," states Stenman. "Making a second album can be a fraught process full of overthinking and self-doubt. Perhaps, the benefit of us starting this band, at this later point in our lives, relieves some of that pressure. This felt so easy, and is a seamless continuation of whatever we started with the first batch of song — just bigger and better."

The Barbarians aren't slowing down — they're just getting louder, meaner, and more ridiculously entertaining.

TBOC have also confirmed their first set of headline tour dates, alongside shows with Guns N' Roses and festival apperances.

All upcoming and confirmed live shows are below.

Hatebreed Announce New Album "Fatal Paradox" Out 11/6 + Share Video for "Kill Count Increase"

Studied, imitated, but never replicated, the Grammy-nominated hardcore legends HATEBREED have remained a fixture of the hardcore and metal scenes for the better part of three decades. After writing the playbook with their genre-defining releases Under The Knife (1996) and Satisfaction Is The Death Of Desire (1997), HATEBREED continued to carry the banner for metallic hardcore with albums likePerseverance (2002), The Rise of Brutality (2003), and Supremacy (2006) dominating charts globally. In recent years, the band's undisputed offensive continues with modern records The Concrete Confessional (2016) and Weight of the False Self (2020), remaining fixtures on charts globally. The band's core values of self actualization, perseverance, and honest living have carried them from backyard and basement shows to festival dominators, selling out shows consistently across the world, effectively practicing what they've preached. 

Today, the band announces its long-awaited studio return with FATAL PARADOX, arriving November 6 via new label BLKIIBLK. Pre-order it here.

Hatebreed also offer the first taste of new music with the video for "KILL COUNT INCREASE." Watch it Below:

Enlisting long-time collaborator Zeuss (Rob Zombie, Accept, Shadows Fall), "Kill Count Increase" is crossover excellence with accelerating speeds, crushing riffage, and frontman Jamey Jasta's venomous bark inciting crimson flashes of carnage.

"'Kill Count Increase' is the lead track on Fatal Paradox and a perfect way of summing up our first album in six years from the start," Jasta states. "It's straightforward, in-your-face Hatebreed. Fast. Hard. It gets down to business and comes up for air two-and-a-half minutes later. The room and everyone in it gets wrecked and comes back wanting more."

Holding no punches, and taking no prisoners Fatal Paradox see the Connecticut-born juggernaut operating at full tilt, bludgeoning listeners with a barbarous blend of breakdowns, d-beats, and dogpiles. Whether it’s the thrash stylings of "Kill Count Increase" or "Total Invincible," capital H hardcore excellence of "The Carrion Choir" and "Truth Is A Lion," rage remains the unifying spark to blow the keg in glorious flashes of violence. 

Hatebreed will spend the summer doing what they do best — touring and bringing venues across the U.S. to their knees. All upcoming dates are below. Get tickets here.

THE DAMN TRUTH Releases Stunning Live Version of "Be Somebody" OUT NOW via Frontiers Music Srl

Following the success of their critically acclaimed, JUNO Award-nominated self-titled album and ahead of the worldwide release of 'The Damn Truth (Deluxe Edition)' on September 11, 2026, Canadian rock powerhouse The Damn Truth continues the exciting campaign with the release of "Be Somebody (Live at Hotel2Tango)", accompanied by an intimate live performance video recorded at Montreal's legendary Hotel2Tango studio.

The live track is included as a bonus track on 'The Damn Truth (Deluxe Edition).' Originally opening the band's acclaimed Bob Rock-produced self-titled album, "Be Somebody" has become one of the defining moments of THE DAMN TRUTH's live show. After more than a year of performing the song night after night across Canada, the UK, Europe, and the United States, the band returned to Montreal's legendary Hotel2Tango studio to record a new live version that captures how the track has evolved on the road. 

Rather than simply recreating the original recording, the band teamed up with Charlie Agadjanian, Jordan Forlini, and Zach Manni-Mirolla to capture the raw energy, chemistry, and emotion that have made "Be Somebody" such a standout moment in their live set.

Inspired by classic tarot card imagery, the accompanying artwork reflects the song's themes of identity, self-belief and embracing individuality.

Says the band:

"'Be Somebody' was written about the duality that comes with that teenage lust of wanting to fit in yet remain true to your individuality. We've carried this song with us from stage to stage over the past year, letting it grow and transform a little more every night. There's something beautiful about how a song keeps revealing itself when it's shared with people night after night.

"Teaming up with Charlie Agadjanian, Jordan Forlini, and Zach Manni-Mirolla at the legendary Hotel2Tango to re-record "Be Somebody" felt incredibly special. Breathing new life into this song and celebrating how music continues to evolve long after it's written."

Originally released in 2025 and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Bob Rock, 'The Damn Truth' marked a defining moment in the band's career, blending timeless rock and roll, blues-infused swagger and fearless songwriting.

The release of "Be Somebody (Live at Hotel2Tango)" offers fans a fresh perspective on one of the band's most loved songs, celebrating the way music continues to grow and evolve through live performance.

As THE DAMN TRUTH prepares for another packed year of touring, the band will continue touring across the UK, Europe and Canada, including special guest appearances on Europe's The Final Countdown – 40th Anniversary Tour, alongside festival appearances and headline shows.

Uncle Acid And The Deadbeats Announce New Album "Shapes of Midnight" + Share Title Track

Two years on from the mesmeric Nell' Ora Blu, their synth-laden soundtrack for an imaginary Giallo movie, orphic Cambridge heavies Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats return with their seventh full-length, Shapes Of Midnight. A brilliantly macabre concept album partly inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's The Masque Of The Red Death and the too-real nightmares of our modern age, Shapes Of Midnight refines the group's "Evil Beatles" sound: A thrilling, expertly composed fusion of eerie harmonies, pop hooks, Thin Lizzy-esque twin-guitar brilliance, and the kind of fleet-footed heaviness that's become their trademark.

Shapes Of Midnight was tracked at Abbey Road Studios — live to analogue tape, natch — in a blessed, three-day blitz in the company of storied engineer Chris Bolster, whose previous clients include Phil Spector, Ozzy Osbourne, and Paul McCartney. The band employed era-appropriate tech, from antique Neumann mics once breathed upon by the Fabs and the Floyd, to consoles and compressors from the peak era of recorded sound. The mastering, meanwhile, was completed by Grammy-nominated engineer Noel Summerville (The White Stripes, The Clash, My Bloody Valentine).

The album marks a return to the guitar-forward attack of their earlier records, but also an evolution. Their blessed invocation of proto-metal heaviness is gilded by blasts of uncanny melancholic pop, bruising NWOBHM gallop, jazzy textures and complexities, and Krautrock-y cro-magnon synth damage. It's a deliciously dark listen, for sure; as songwriter Kevin Starrs says, "Our albums exist in an alternate universe to our own. They're all stories that could happen here, but everything's just a bit 'off.’"

Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats spent their summer laying waste to festivals such as Sweden Rock, Hellfest, and Graspop and will tour North America, the UK, and Australia/New Zealand later this year. Further dates across Europe for next year to be announced soon.

Firmly established as cult heroes, Uncle Acid and the deadbeats consolidated The Night Creeper's triumph by touring the world extensively, including a string of sold out shows in the U.S., U.K., Europe and Australia. The dystopian soaked Wasteland followed, cementing their reputation, before releasing the bizarro "audio film" concept album Nell'ora Blu, which challenged their audience with its exploration of new sounds.

While most musicians seem content to chase their own (or other people's tails), Uncle Acid and the deadbeats remain resolute individualists. Masterfully echoing the magical atmospheres of heavy music’s turbulent past while sounding entirely unlike anything else available to human ears. Having set up their own label Killer Candy Records, with the single "Don't Let It Control You" and new album set for 2026, Uncle Acid and the deadbeats continues to be the deadliest show in town.

Kevin Starrs — Vocals/Lead Guitar

EIVØR - announces new studio album Tungl; unveils song Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden

Transcendent Faroese artist Eivør has unveiled the next phase of her remarkable artistic journey. On October 16th this year, Eivør will release her new studio album, Tungl, the Faroese word meaning ‘moon’.

Eivør has offered a deeper glimpse into her newest musical vision with the release of new song Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden accompanied by a breathtaking video filmed in Svínadalur, Iceland, by director Krassasig (Kristinn Arnar Sigurðsson). Watch Below.

Eivør imparts about the song:

"I’m excited to share my new song, Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden, with you.

The song is a tribute to the fierce, intuitive force that lives within us all. While my previous single, Healer, explored resilience, Dragon Maiden feels more like an awakening, a reminder of the power that has always been within you.

The song began as a poem that had been quietly living in the back of my mind for a long time. I wanted to capture that beautiful, liberating feeling of letting go of the need to control everything and opening yourself to whatever life may bring. I invited one of my favourite poetic minds, Marjun S. Kjelnæs, to finish the poem with me, and I’m so proud of what we created together.

I produced and recorded the song with my partner in crime, Tróndur Bogason, and my band. I wanted it to feel playful and danceable, while still carrying an undercurrent of melancholy. I love the contrast between movement and stillness, light and shadow, and I think this song lives somewhere between those worlds.

Dragon Maiden is about trusting your intuition, embracing uncertainty, and finding the courage to surrender to life's unfolding. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is stop trying to control everything and simply allow ourselves to be carried forward. I hope this song encourages people to reconnect with that part of themselves."

Pre-order Tungl here: https://eivor.bfan.link/tungl
Listen to Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden here: https://eivor.bfan.link/drekafljod

Eivør will spend the summer performing across Europe, appearing at leading festivals including Paléo Festival, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze and ArcTanGent, while also presenting a select number of headline concerts, including a special open air performance at the iconic Openluchttheater De Goffert amphitheatre in Nijmegen.

To celebrate the release of Tungl, Eivør will present two special album release concerts this October. The first takes place on 17 October at Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, before she returns to Harpa's Eldborg Hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 23 October for a unique performance featuring special guest musicians in one of the Nordic region's most iconic concert halls. These intimate events will offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience Tunglperformed in a special setting before Eivør embarks on her extensive international tour.

Eivør will also be undertaking an extensive headline tour across North America later this year, and across Europe and the UK into 2027.

If Eivør’s last album, Enn, marked the beginning of a darker, more atmospheric phase, her forthcoming release, Tungl – the Faroese word for ‘moon’ – and her first for the powerhouse German metal label Nuclear Blast, sees her reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.

As Eivør herself says:

“Tungl explores the ever-changing cycles of life – its songs move between moments of tenderness and heartache, love and loss, and the emotional tides that shape us. Like the moon that inspired its title, Tungl serves as a gentle guide through life’s darker passages, illuminating the beauty, resilience, and transformation found along the way.”

Colorblind Drop New Song "The Countdown"

Austin, Texas quartet Colorblind — vocalist Travis Moseley, drummer Tyler Moseley, bassist Nicholas Asper, and guitarist Justin Page — are sharing "THE COUNTDOWN," the latest track from their upcoming debut album Who Sold You This Truth ++ Was It Yours To Hold. The album arrives on August 28 via Solid State. Pre-order it here.

 Listen to the song and watch the visualizer below.

The song offers the band's fresh take on a familiar and relatable topic — heartbreak.

"This one felt like it fit so beautifully with the album's themes because it's not really about heartbreak alone—it's about the beliefs we carry into love," says Moseley. "I've always been so trapped between hope and the expectation of loss. The relationship becomes a mirror reflecting old wounds, fears, and identities that haven't fully healed."

Ultimately, Colorblind stand apart because they've never tried to fit in.

Since forming in 2017, the Austin, Texas quartet has forged its own lane in modern heavy music, one captivating song, one sold-out show, and one explosive festival set at a time. They've grown into one of the scene's most compelling new voices, powered by breakout singles like "Motionless," "Needle Eye," and "Letdown" (as featured on SiriusXM Octane), racking up more than 30 million streams in the process.

Their "dreamcore" sound thrives on contrast, blending thundering, detuned riffs with ambient textures and pop-forward melody – pairing weight and atmosphere in a way that feels both immediate and immersive. Beneath that dynamic lies an emotional honesty that has shaped their music from the very beginning: Early independent releases, including their self-titled EP, introduced that core, with songs like "Ghosts" revealing a deeply personal perspective that quickly resonated with listeners. The connection carried into their label debut, WHO SOLD YOU THIS TRUTH, expanding their sound and reach onto tours with blessthefall, Miss May I and Dayseeker, along with major festival stages. Now, with a debut full-length on the horizon and their first headlining tour ahead, Colorblind's future remains wide open, with many more career-defining highs on the horizon with each and every step forward.

Colorblind will return to the road this fall with Catch Your Breath. All dates are below.

Avant-Grind Extremists SQUID PISSER Release New Single + Music Video

SQUID PISSER — the brainchild of Tommy Meehan (Grodius Maximus of GWAR) — shares their new single "Fart F***** F*** Face," taken from their long-awaited full-length EP,'Throat Slave,' set for release on August 28th via Skin Graft Records / Sweatband Records. The new track arrives alongside an official music video.

On the new single, Baxter Yogurt explains:

“Our new single is about what can happen when you spend your life pretending to be someone you’re not. Denying yourself doesn’t make those feelings disappear. It can turn them into anger, bitterness, and hatred toward people who have the courage to live honestly. The song is about trusting yourself and refusing to become another miserable hypocrite telling everyone else how to live.”

Watch the Visualizer Below:

Following the sensory overload of 2024's 'Dreams of Puke,' Los Angeles slime merchants SQUID PISSER return with 'Throat Slave,' a "full-length EP" featuring five original songs, six demented remixes, and a foreboding introduction that pushes the band's increasingly strange universe into darker territory.

While retaining the band's trademark volatility and sonic intensity, 'Throat Slave' marks a significant evolution, embracing greater groove, atmosphere, and dynamic tension. It also serves as the first SQUID PISSER release to prominently feature the creative contributions of guitarists Michael Armendariz and Raz Azraai, expanding the band's sonic palette while preserving its uniquely unstable identity.

Side A explores paranoia, confrontation, self-examination, and release, using imagery of decay and mutation to examine the struggle to reclaim one's identity from manipulation and illusion. Side B transforms that vision through remixes by Plack Blague, Hyper Gal, Drumcorps, Fartbarf, Ecology: HomeStones, dj Embryonic Petit Sac, and KK Null (Zeni Geva), reimagining the material as electronic hallucinations, industrial rituals, mutant dance music, and psychedelic fever dreams.

Paired with the luminous, unsettling artwork of Bora Murmure, 'Throat Slave' emerges as SQUID PISSER's most immersive and adventurous release yet, occupying a space between nightmare and revelation.

As Baxter Yogurt puts it, “'Throat Slave' is a collection of songs about defending your identity from parasites... Whether they're people, institutions, bad habits, or the voice in your own head telling you to play it safe. The record is filled with bodily fluids, vermin, disease, and decay because that's what these forces feel like when they're attached to you and feeding. Every song is a battle between self-determination and surrender. The answer isn't self-improvement or enlightenment... It's trusting yourself enough to reject what's false. Don't become somebody else's 'Throat Slave.'”

Chart-Topping Rock Heavyweights THEORY OF A DEADMAN Releases New Single "Funeral Song" + Lyric Video

Chart-topping veterans THEORY OF A DEADMAN are proud to release their new single, "Funeral Song," taken from the upcoming EP, 'Part 1: Funeral Songs,' set for release on September 4, 2026 via ONErpm.

Marking a new chapter for the band, comprising Tyler Connolly, Dave Brenner, Dean Back, and Joe Dandeneau, the upcoming EP delivers their signature mix of gritty riffs, anthemic hooks, and unfiltered lyricism with a renewed sense of urgency.

On the new track, Connolly shares:

“We’ve all had that person that we wish would go away or just crawl up and die. That's the anthem here with 'Funeral Song.' But like a lot of things we do over here at the THEORYheadquarters, it’s to be taken in jest as we always promote taking the moral high ground. Ironically after all these years this is the first song we’ve written about a 'DEADMAN.'"

Watch the Lyric Video for "Funeral Song" Below:

Stream / Listen to "Funeral Song" HERE

THEORY OF A DEADMAN have carved out their own lane as one of modern rock’s most unapologetic forces, racking up multi-platinum hits, chart-topping albums, and sold-out shows worldwide. Blending witty, candid songwriting with undeniable riffs and massive melodic hooks, the Canadian quartet—Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, Dave Brenner, and Joe Dandeneau—have built a career defined by both attitude and staying power.

From fan favorites like “Santa Monica” to gold-certified hit “All Or Nothing,” platinum singles “Hate My Life” and “Bitch Came Back,” and the double-platinum “Not Meant To Be,” the band has delivered a steady stream of rock staples. They’ve landed twelve Top 10 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, including four #1 singles: “Bad Girlfriend,” “Lowlife,” “History Of Violence,” and “Rx (Medicate).” The latter stands as the biggest hit of their career, earning a nomination for “Rock Song of the Year” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Along the way, TOAD have achieved two Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200, four Top 5 debuts on the Canadian Albums Chart, and multiple Juno Award nominations, while drawing praise from outlets including American Songwriter, Billboard, and Classic Rock Magazine.

Now, THEORY OF A DEADMAN are ready to further their prolific career with the release of their new EP, 'Part 1: Funeral Songs,' out on September 4th with ONErpm.

The album is now available for pre-save and pre-order: https://seriousblack.rpm.link/keeperPR

To celebrate the announcement, SERIOUS BLACK have released the album's first single, "Last Man Standing," accompanied by a brand-new official music video. The song delivers an uplifting anthem about perseverance, self-belief and refusing to give up, even when faced with doubt, ridicule and resistance.

"For me, this song is more relevant than ever when you look at today's society", Mario Lochert reveals. "Someone who believes in themselves, pursues their own goals and wants to achieve something is often laughed at or not taken seriously. You hear comments like: 'You'd be better off learning a proper trade' or are simply labelled a weirdo. It was no different for me back then. But the initial laughter later turned into envy and resentment. Last Man Standing is precisely about this journey and about staying true to your own path despite all the opposition."

Since their formation, SERIOUS BLACK have established themselves as one of the leading names in modern power metal. Combining the experience of musicians from renowned metal acts with memorable songwriting, crushing guitars, anthemic choruses and emotionally charged melodies, the band has built a strong international reputation. 

With multiple charting releases, more than 200 concerts worldwide, and acclaimed performances at major festivals and tours across Europe, Asia and beyond, SERIOUS BLACK continue to prove why they remain one of the genre's most compelling live acts. Keeper Of The Light perfectly captures the band's trademark blend of power, melody and passion while pushing their sound forward with renewed energy.

All of the eleven songs on the album will see SERIOUS BLACK stylistically return to its roots. Straight, classic power metal - the sound the band once became known for - reigns again. "The return to what once characterized us was already indicated on "Vengeance Is Mine" and "Rise Of Akhenaton"," Lochert explains the natural evolution of the band and adds: "Since joining five years ago, our singer Nikola Mijic has turned out to be a real jewel for us. Because of his expressive voice and his intuitive feeling for great melodies, the songs have gained more clarity and a more direct presence."

SERIOUS BLACK is:
Nikola Mijic – Vocals
Mario Lochert – Bass
Dominik Sebastian – Guitar
Maurus Mayer – Guitar, Keys
Christian Widmann – Drums

Olive Vox Announce Debut EP; Drop New Single "Hear Me Out"

Texas alt-rock quartet Olive Vox return with their new single and official video “Hear Me Out”, out now via Big Machine Rock. The track arrives alongside the announcement of the band’s forthcoming EP, Trace It Back, set for release on Friday, September 18. Fans can stream “Hear Me Out” HERE, watch the official video BELOW, and pre-order / pre-save Trace It Back HERE.

Built around the exhausting weight of guilt, memory, and self-punishment, “Hear Me Out” pulls Olive Vox deeper into the emotionally direct world that has been taking shape across recent singles “BABYDOLL”, “T.A.N.G.O.”, “Dying Breath”, “14 Years”, and “We Are Not The Same”. Sharp, urgent, and unflinching, the track finds the band wrestling with the version of yourself you cannot quite outrun, even when everyone else has already made peace with leaving it in the past.

Speaking on the new single, Olive Vox share:

“Hear Me Out” is about being trapped in a loop of guilt where you just can’t seem to move past your own history. While you recognize that others can judge you based on your past actions—and you accept their right to see you that way—the real struggle is your inability to do the same for yourself. You feel stuck in a cycle of self-punishment, constantly replaying old mistakes and making healing impossible. It’s that raw, exhausting feeling of knowing you deserve to move on, but being unable to let go of the version of yourself you used to be.”

The accompanying video mirrors that emotional pressure, drawing viewers into the band’s increasingly defined visual world of distorted nostalgia, fractured memory, and familiar spaces made strange. Across both the song and video, Olive Vox continue to sharpen the contrast that sits at the centre of their rising identity: a young band writing with uncommon weight about grief, self-destruction, regret, and the slow, ugly work of trying to change.

The single also opens the door to Trace It Back, a debut EP that gathers the band’s recent output into one emotionally connected body of work. Across the EP, Olive Vox move through past mistakes, toxic cycles, personal reckoning, and the uneasy freedom that comes with finally saying the quiet part out loud.

Speaking on the EP, vocalist Parker James shares:

“The Trace It Back EP compiles past and pre-existing transgressions. I aimed to be more direct and honest in my lyrics, rather than being elusive. I found myself oversharing personal details, which led to regret and overthinking. Due to my anxieties, I became very closeted and shut off. Realizing that it was actually affecting me more than just being my true self, I decided I wouldn’t care about what I wrote as long as it made me happy. This EP serves as a collection and a snapshot of a time and place in my life where I was struggling.” 

The announcement comes as Olive Vox continue to build serious momentum both online and onstage, now surpassing 1.5 million cross-platform streams and 1.89 million YouTube views. Following recent US runs with Badflower and Raue, and a recent appearance at Camp Woodward, the band will join The Toadies for a full US support run beginning August 6 in Charleston, SC and wrapping October 3 in Ventura, CA.

Corey Kent & Jason Aldean Unite for Anthem "Rather Be Here"; 'Heartland Rock and Roll' Arrives 9/25

Multi-Platinum Sony Music Nashville recording artist Corey Kent is joined by country superstar Jason Aldean on his new song, "Rather Be Here," available everywhere today. The collaboration marks another preview of Kent's forthcoming album, Heartland Rock and Roll, due Sept. 25. 

Listen to “Rather Be Here”  Below.

Written by Michael Hardy, James McNair, Josh Miller, Morgan Wallen and Daniel Ross, "Rather Be Here" is a rowdy, feel-good anthem celebrating the unmistakable magic of a Saturday night at the local honky tonk. Fueled by a sing-along hook and southern rock swagger, the track captures this simple truth:

"There's nothing I love more about music than playing live, which is why this song resonated so deeply with me," shares Kent. "The energy from a rowdy Saturday night honky tonk crowd is the spirit of this track."

Kent continues, "I really wanted to capture a '70s-style southern rock vibe, and I'm so lucky to have my big brother in country music, Jason Aldean, on this one. It's still surreal every time I hear his voice come in on verse two. Nobody has blended country and rock & roll better than Jason. His early stuff was such an inspiration to me as an artist, so having him on this song is perfect. It has such an infectious, sing-along quality to it, and I can't wait to hear folks sing it with us at shows."

"Rather Be Here" continues the rollout of Heartland Rock and Roll, Kent's highly anticipated third major-label album and the project that finally puts a name to the sound he's spent years building.

"Heartland Rock and Roll is my third major label album, and it's really the first time I've been able to finally name the sound I've been working towards my entire career," shared Kent. "These songs sound like where I'm from. The lyrics span from nostalgia, to honest regrets and gratitude for the simple things I value most in life. From top to bottom, this is me. Every artist wants to leave their mark in music... a way to say, 'I was here and I did it my way.' This feels like mine. This is heartland rock and roll."

Produced primarily by Austin Goodloe, with additional production from Jon Randall and Chris Farren, Heartland Rock and Roll captures golden-hour nostalgia, rugged honesty and the peace that comes with staying true to yourself. Across 16 tracks, Kent blends country, rock and soul into the signature sound that has defined his career.

The new collaboration follows a string of standout releases from the album, including his recent blockbuster single,"Rocky Mountain Low" featuring Koe Wetzel, fan favorite and current single, "Empty Words," which is already Top 50 and climbing on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart following early release due to overwhelming demand and millions of weekly streams, along with "Wannabe," and "Cigarette Burns."

Infusing Oklahoma roots with the untamed energy of a rebel rocker, Kent has built his career on doing things his own way. From dancehalls and dive bars in Bixby, Oklahoma to earning two No. 1 singles at country radio, more than 1 billion career streams and multiple RIAA certifications, Kent's rise has been steady, hard-earned and fueled by conviction.

"I've been fighting my differences for so long, but now it's like, 'Let's just use those,'" Kent explains. "I'm not trying to be anybody else. Bigger fades, 'better' lasts."

The forthcoming album follows Kent's breakout projects Blacktop and Black Bandana, which established the singer-songwriter as one of country music's most compelling and unconventional voices. To date, Kent has earned Platinum certification for "Something's Gonna Kill Me," Gold certification for "This Heart" and Triple-Platinum certification for his No. 1 breakthrough hit "Wild As Her."

Rolling Stone has praised the Oklahoman-native for giving "the region's signature sound a shot of mainstream sensibility," while CMT and the Opry NextStage program have recognized him as an artist to watch. He has toured alongside Morgan Wallen, Jason Aldean, Parker McCollum, Jon Pardi and Koe Wetzel.

CARLY PEARCE RETURNS TO APPALACHIAN ROOTS IN TIMELESS NEW BLUEGRASS TRACK “WHAT IF YOU LOVED ME” WITH DAN TYMINSKI AND MOLLY TUTTLE

GRAMMY, CMA and ACM-Award winning country star Carly Pearce highlights her Bluegrass and Appalachian roots in timeless new song out today, “What If You Loved Me” with two of the genre’s powerhouses, Dan Tyminski and Molly Tuttle. Rich vocal performances melt into tight harmonies as they sing about longing and possibility, layered on top of Tyminski’s mandolin and Tuttle’s clawhammer banjo and guitar. Simultaneously classic and contemporary, “What If You Loved Me” honors tradition for a standout offering from the trio. Listen to the track HERE and watch the official music video BELOW.

“Bluegrass is such a cherished part of who I am as it’s where I got my start,” says Pearce. “To record a song that honors my roots with two artists that I have deep respect and admiration for is not only a special moment, but very emotional. 10-year-old Carly who grew up singing in bluegrass bands would be over the moon to know she has a song with Dan and Molly (as is present-day Carly!). This is the perfect moment in my career to show fans this side of my heart.”

“What If You Loved Me”  is the latest preview of Pearce’s highly anticipated fifth studio album, Honest Woman, which will arrive August 28 via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Co-produced by Pearce with longtime collaborator Ben West, Honest Woman sees Pearce embrace every aspect of who she was, is, and will become through narrative-driven lyrics and a sonic return to form. Including features with Riley Green, Dan Tyminski and Molly Tuttle, the album leans into her bluegrass origins and focuses on authentic country craftsmanship. Honest Woman is an ‘honest’ portrayal of life’s journey delivered by a woman who understands that it’s the fullness of time that defines you. Pre-order, pre-add, and pre-save the album HERE and find the full track list below.

In addition to today’s release, Pearce’s forthcoming album will include current single and “blockbuster duet” (Billboard) with Riley Green, “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay,” along with the “lilting portrait of a femme free spirit” (MusicRow) “She Don’t,” the “delightfully snarky & sassy” (Music Row) “You Can Have Him,” “honest anthem” (Rolling Stone) “Church Girl” and the “unfiltered, introspective” (Billboard) “Dream Come True.” As Pearce is readying Honest Woman, each track continues to define “the tone for her most vulnerable era yet” (The Tennessean).

To support the album, Pearce will be performing special two-night residencies across North America. Kicking off September 10 with two nights in Detroit, Pearce will bring her “Honest Woman: Up Close” live shows presented by Conundrum Wines to intimate venues in Chicago, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Toronto and Boston before concluding with two nights in New York City. Belle Frantz will join Pearce as support. Tickets are on sale now.
