CORELEONI Celebrate Release of New Album Generection and Unveil Digital-Only Cover of "Lady Marmelade"

Swiss hard rock force CORELEONI is celebrating the release of their brand-new studio album Generection, out today via Reigning Phoenix Music. Packed with powerful riffs, infectious melodies and the unmistakable spirit that has defined the band from the start, the new record marks another strong chapter in CORELEONI’s journey. Adding a little extra flavour to release day, the band is also presenting their cover of the classic “Lady Marmelade”, which is available exclusively as a digital track.

Marking the band's fourth album since its formation in 2017 and the second featuring vocalist Gent Bushpepa, Generection sees CORELEONI returning to their roots with their heaviest and hardest-hitting record to date.

Built on a foundation of unreleased tracks, the album showcases the powerhouse lineup of Alex Motta (drums), Mila Merker (bass), and Jgor Gianola (guitars), standing as unshakable pillars of the band's sound. While heavier and harder than its predecessors, Generection never sacrifices warmth or atmosphere, especially in its most intimate moments. With the entire band contributing more to the songwriting than ever before, the result aligns perfectly with Leo Leoni's unmistakable signature sound.

The analog mix is one of the defining characteristics of Generection, recreating the magic of '70s and '80s recordings while injecting a modern edge. Razor-sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and just the right touch of sweetness and dimension make this an album that opens a door to the past for younger listeners while reconnecting older rockers with their roots.

Since launching CORELEONI in 2017, Leo Leoni has built the project into a celebrated hard rock force that bridges generations. With Gent Bushpepa once again delivering a commanding vocal performance and a band firing on all cylinders, Generection stands as a powerful statement of intent, honouring classic rock traditions while pushing confidently forward.

Set to be released on September 11 through Reigning Phoenix Music, Generectionis available for pre-order at: https://coreleoni.rpm.link/generectionPR

The Digipak CD edition also includes a bonus disc featuring the Live At Hallenstadion concert, recorded in Zürich, Switzerland, in July 2025 and previously available only as a digital release.

Suicide Silence Share Video for Title Track of New Album "Graceless" Out 11/20

Deathcore didn't invent itself.

The crushing combination of classic death metal ferocity with hardcore-punk spirit was created in garages and grimy venues. It was celebrated on message boards, in comment sections, and in sweaty, anarchic spaces where hardcore kids and death metal obsessives gathered. As the burgeoning sub-genre formed, teenage metalheads dared one another to get heavier. SUICIDE SILENCE made their logo synonymous with the most volatile and definitive stomp of the postmodern sound. Since their first rumblings in California's Inland Empire in the early 21st Century, the band's fusion of sonic violence, punk confrontation, and unapologetic nü-metal bounce put a fresh face on extreme metal.
 
They are thrilled to share "Graceless," the title track from their upcoming album, which is set for release on November 20.

The band comments, "This is the title track off our new record. It's a short 'n' sweet crusher that gives you a taste of what this record is all about. Check out our podcast where we go in detail about the song, video and album."

Watch the ferocious video, which captures the essence of what put deathcore on the map in the early 2000s, below.

Be sure to check out the accompanying podcast, which offers in-depth background information on "Graceless," here.

First pre-orders are available here.

SUICIDE SILENCE remain stubbornly communal. They have always written best with bodies in a room, amps cranked, and friendly arguments evolving into arrangements. That collective instinct gives Graceless its strange comfort amid the chaos. It is vicious, ugly, physical, immediate, and fully inhabited by a band that survived every argument about what it was supposed to be.

As Garza puts it, the goal was to "just get out of the way and serve that band logo. When we choose to do that, great things follow. We're back to doing it exactly as we did it when we were kids: Just playing heavy shit and doing it from the heart."

"Deathcore" was once a word thrown at them as a limit. Today, it's a flag planted in the dirt. 24 years after their first noise from SoCal, SUICIDE SILENCE stand in rare company: Survivors who never mistook endurance for safety, craftsmen more than capable of making instinct sound like impact. Graceless is the circle closing, hard, with newly sharpened teeth, hungry for future conquest.
 
First on their agenda is the North American "Reminders of Hell" headlining tour, featuring support from Emmure, AngelMaker, and Synestia.

Progressive Duo CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE Explore Restraint And Internal Pressure In The New Single, "The Waiting Storm"

In "The Waiting Storm," CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE present an immersive sonic offering representing internal turmoil between patience and appeasing a restless mind. The track lands ahead of their forthcoming album Primordial Reverie Ascendant, out January 8, 2027.

"The song centers on restraint and internal pressure," CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE explain. "This is heard in lines like 'I sit and lie in wait, a tempest ruminating'. As the track progresses, the 'beast' and 'storm' imagery point to something growing beneath the surface. An increasing urgency that can no longer be ignored. What begins as patience shifts toward inevitability.

Outside of the narrative, the lyrics also reflect periods of creative stagnation. Lulls in momentum where progress feels stalled. That tension between inactivity and pressure mirrors the track’s central themes."

Musically, "The Waiting Storm" contains the duo's most straightforward arrangement on Primordial Reverie Ascendant's track list. The song's catchy riffs convey a darker mood throughout the verses accompanied with fierce harsh screams. "The Waiting Storm" emerges into a soaring chorus with memorable lead vocal melody lines. 

Primordial Reverie Ascendant was produced, mixed and mastered by Ryan Koepke at Chromatic Variable Soundworks. The album cover artwork was created by Alex Eckman-Lawn (Original Artwork), with the Ascendant version and single artworks by Ryan Koepke.

About CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE:

CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE began in 2024 by British Columbia-based multi-instrumentalist Ryan Koepke as an instrumental project. Musically, Koepke seeks to produce grand soundscapes through carefully constructed layers of instrumental textures and tones. A key component of CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE is chaos and unpredictability. Emotive storytelling is interwoven through each track's arrangement. 

Following the release of the instrumental album, Primordial Reverie, in 2025, Chad Bernatchez (VOIDCHASER) joined CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE which led to a progression in creative direction to now incorporate clean and harsh vocals. With input from Bernatchez, the new release delves further into CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE's fictional realms bringing a new way of understanding the concepts first glimpsed in Primordial Reverie.

Then Comes Silence share 'Remaker Redeemer', second taste of 'Requiem Ballroom' album

Stockholm post-punk trio Then Comes Silence presents 'Remaker Redeemer', the second single from their forthcoming 'Requiem Ballroom' album, due in November via Metropolis Records. The music video, filmed by Damon Zurawski of Future Legends Films, captures the song perfectly, descending into the space between death and rebirth, where the final journey into darkness becomes a passage toward transformation, renewal and the possibility of another world.

Then Comes Silence has also just launched their European tour, which runs throughout September and October, bringing them to venues and like-minded music lovers in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Italy and Czech Republic, before returning home to Sweden for the final show on this leg.

A tightly focused trio since 2022, Then Comes Silence was formed in 2012 by vocalist-bassist Alex Svenson in 2012. Drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie, round out the band in its most direct, powerful and uncompromising form. One of the leading names on today’s goth, post-punk and darkwave scene, they are driven by a fascination with horror, the occult and the raw intensity of underground music, having forged a distinctive sound and a devoted international following.

The 'Requiem Ballroom' album itself is divided into two parts: 'Ballroom' was mixed by Jon Bordon (Nicole Sabouné, Melody Club, The Exploding Boy) and the 'Requiem' half was mixed by Tom van Heesch (Rammstein, Apocalyptica, Backyard Babies). Svante Forsbäck / Chartmakers (Rammstein, Amaranthe, Ville Valo, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica) assumed mastering duties.

"'Remaker Redeemer' introduces the second part of the album 'Requiem Ballroom'. It’s about new life, and being reborn with the old sins washed away. A kind of cleansing, a fresh start, and the feeling of beginning again. The choice of instruments and sound on this track is a way to explore something different this time," says Alex Svenson.

"Death is generally regarded, across many cultures, as the final blackout where nothing follows. Yet in another sense, death can also serve as a metaphor for change and transformation. To take the next step, change is inevitable."

Then Comes Silence earlier released 'Judgement Day', a driving anthem that embraces failure, reckless choices and the thrill of living without regrets, embracing a final celebration before the inevitable reckoning. The vivid behind-the-scenes documentary by Marzipan Moonlight offers a glimpse into the video's creation and the thriving spirit of Stockholm's goth community.

With the German post-punk scene their second home, Then Comes Silence has toured relentlessly for years. Continually expanding their geographic reach, they have cemented their reputation as one of the scene’s hardest working bands. With several releases through Metropolis Records, they have further strengthening their international presence. Their impending eighth album follows ‘Trickery’ (2024) and'Hunger' (2022), jointly released by Metropolis and Nexilis Records / Schubert Music.

With dark atmospheres, driving rhythms, razor-sharp hooks and explosive performances, Then Comes Silence continue to push forward. They have earned their place at the forefront of the modern gothic rock and post-punk movement, proving themselves to be a vital contemporary live acts with frequent touring across North America, Latin America and Europe.

Then Comes Silence have shared the stage with acts such as The Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, The Chameleons, A Place To Bury Strangers, Pink Turns Blue and The Bellwether Syndicate, while appearing at many of Europe’s premier alternative festivals, including M’era Luna, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Amphi Festival, Castle Party, Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival and W-Festival.

On September 11, 'Remaker Redeemer' is out everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where their latest 'Trickery' album is available on vinyl and CD. The 'Requiem Ballroom" album will be released on November 20. Concert tickets can be obtained at https://linktr.ee/tcsontour

Denitia's Fourth Studio Album 'Texas Angel' Arrives 2/5/27; Title Track Available Now

Acclaimed singer, songwriter Denitia announces her fourth studio album, Texas Angel, arriving Feb. 5, 2027, marking her first release in partnership with Thirty Tigers for distribution. The album’s title track, “Texas Angel,” is available today, offering the first taste of new music from the forthcoming project and introducing a deeply personal collection of songs about love, belonging, family and the search for peace.

PRE-SAVE TEXAS ANGEL HERE AND LISTEN TO “TEXAS ANGEL” BELOW

Produced by Brad Allen Williams (Brittany Howard, Brandy), Texas Angel finds the country music songstress looking inward, reflecting on the pursuit of happiness and the desire to find a place and a feeling that can truly be called home. The album finds her walking through the highs and lows of love, success and self-discovery while looking beyond herself for wisdom from the generations who came before her.

“This record is me reflecting on the experiences of looking for peace and happiness in love, success and chasing that feeling of belonging,” says Denitia. “In these songs I’m walking my way through the ups and downs and ultimately taking a good long moment to look for answers in the people that came before me. Finding solace in simplicity. Trying to figure out if I can glean some wisdom from my ancestors, living and beyond.”

The title track, “Texas Angel,” captures one of the album’s central themes: the realization that loving someone does not always mean you can save them. The song explores the emotional exhaustion that comes from continually trying to fix the person you love and the moment when self-preservation means finally letting go.

“This one is the age-old tale of being convinced you can fix the one you love,” Denitia explains. “All their problems and shortcomings are there for you to pick up after. And there comes a time when you just can’t swoop in and save the day anymore. Your angel wings are all worn out.”

With Texas Angel, Denitia enters a new chapter, bringing hard-earned perspective to a collection that explores the complexities of love, identity, resilience and finding where you belong. The forthcoming album continues her evolution as an artist while placing emotional honesty and deeply personal storytelling at its center.

There were her relatives who worked in the industrial plants and the corporate offices of the oil refineries in greater Houston where the singer-songwriter grew up. Then there were the musicians that those relatives loved and introduced her to, creating an artistic lineage of similarly hardy stock. That included folks like Dolly Parton, George Strait and Loretta Lynn, who combined hustle with creativity and inspired Denitia to express herself.

With Texas Angel she isn’t just standing on the shoulders of these giants, she is actively reaching back down and patting those shoulders in gratitude, tipping her musical cap by building something that is distinctly her own but pays tribute to those efforts and influences.

That concept, of honoring her forebears while telling her own story, began taking shape during a songwriting session following her first appearance at the Grand Ole Opry in 2024.

“Getting invited to play the Opry was momentous for me because my grandmother, my great-grandmother, they all listened to WSM and now there was somebody in our family who was on that stage,” shares Denitia. “It was this mixture of feeling like, ‘Wow, I just want to be a part of the fabric and the lineage of country music’ and realizing my positioning in my family. And then also just the idea of standing in one's own power.”

Given its roots, it is no surprise then that Texas Angel is an unadulterated country affair, its 14 tracks suffused with warm acoustic instrumentation, wistful steel guitars and Denitia’s inviting vocals, toggling between tender vulnerability and fiery flintiness as she exorcises romantic and professional demons of the past, embraces the quotidian pleasures of the present and explores the freedom of an unwritten future.

“I feel like I'd been circling it with my last two records,” she says of the album’s traditional sound. “I kept getting closer and closer and I thought, all right, enough. I'm going to go directly for it. I want to make a classic country record that is inspired by the people that I love in this genre — Dolly Parton, Randy Travis, Glen Campbell, Loretta Lynn, George Strait.”

Her forthcoming album Texas Angel, produced by Brad Allen Williams (Brittany Howard, Brandy), finds Denitia digging into her musical and familial roots to produce an album of classic country with a contemporary edge.

Stoned Jesus Get Theatrical on Proggy New Single “Jackal”

With their forthcoming album trilogy, the heavy progressive trailblazers in Stoned Jesus are reaching a new creative peak. After topping best of 2025 lists with its scorching opener, Songs to Sun, this year, frontman Igor Sydorenko and his bandmates are cycling into the darkest, most daring and deeply moving territory of their career with Songs to Moon.

Today, Stoned Jesus are thrilled to release the album’s mini prog opera as the second advanced single from Songs to Moon. While hounded by grim hopes for the future, the wily “Jackal” will leave progressive rockers of all stripes pleasantly surprised.

“‘Jackal’ is Stoned Jesus at our most theatrical. Even though the time signature is 4/4 through and through, it’s the proggiest song on Songs to Moon”, Sydorenko says before adding. “Bonus challenge for all the true prog nerds. See if you can find the early Marillion line that I quoted word for word”.

Watch the video for “Jackal” below:

Songs to Moon comes out October 16, 2026 on Season of Mist.

The Songs trilogy spans the many phases of Stoned Jesus. While an existential shroud hung over Songs to Sun, Songs to Moon plunges the band into a dark night of the soul. Like the bogeyman, “Jackal” stalks through a house of horrors. “In the darkness of the future past”, Sydorenko whispers over drums that rattle like Alice in Chains on Jar of Flies. “Hear me walking over skulls and dust”. Behind each locked door lies a disturbing scene that one expects to find when reading Aldous Huxley or George Orwell.

“Lyrically, the question that ‘Jackal’ poses is pretty much on the nose”, says Sydorenko. “When you sell your soul for comfort, what kind of future do you get in return?”.

But even though Songs to Moon is their most melancholic album, Stoned Jesus can’t be confined to just one shade of blue. As shadows often do, “Jackal” shifts its shape in the blink of an eye. “Go to sleep”, Sydorenko commands before kicking down the doors with the album’s heaviest - and funkiest - blues riff. The facts of the matter are grim (“No money, no future, no reason to fight”), but the song’s epic symphonic coda builds a clear case that for Stoned Jesus,  both the present and future are blazingly bright.  

The video for “Jackal” was created by Phobia Artworks.

Catch Stoned Jesus this fall as they debut Songs to Moon on European stages.

Stoned Jesus 2026 European Festival Dates

October 30 - Vallet, France @ WeStill Fest [TICKETS]

Following in the steps of Led Zeppelin III, Opeth’s Damnation or Alice In Chain’s Jar of Flies, during its final lap, Songs to Moon strips down to acoustic guitar and Sydorenko’s hushed vocals. “And when the sun goes down / It brightens up my mood”. As the dreamy desperation of “Window In My Room” fades beneath the stark reminder of closer “One More Empty Day”, Stoned Jesus return to earth weary but wise beyond their years and ready to explore the next frontier.

Canadian modern metal band OSYRON present an electrifying offering in their new single release, "Higher." Alongside the atmospheric track, the Canadians have launched their pre-sale for the forthcoming, self-titled, full length album. Osyron is scheduled for release on November 27, 2026, via Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music.

Of the DMG signing, the band also comments: 

"We're absolutely thrilled to be joining the Distortion Music Group family for this next chapter of Osyron. After more than a decade of building this band, releasing four somewhat okay albums, playing shows across North America and Europe, developing our sound, and even having a Polish guy in the band, finding the right label for this record was extremely important to us."

"DMG's passion for heavy music, their international reach, and the connections they have throughout the metal community make them the perfect partner for what we want to accomplish with this album."

"This album represents a huge step forward for us, and we couldn’t be more excited to have the babes at Distortion Music Group right there beside us as we enter this new era."

Maurizio Iacono, General Manager of DMG, commented, "We are proud to introduce Osyron to the DMG family. The band is one of Canada’s best-kept secrets that will finally get the chance to shine on a world stage; We are happy to have them on board as they continue their journey through the progressive power metal world!”

Emerging out of an immersive atmospheric haze, "Higher" erupts into life with a ferocious brutality manifested through thunderous guitar rhythms and discordant harmonies. The track's chorus soars with melodic intensity, while the heavy power remains relentlessly impactful. Through compelling vocal melodies to monstrous harsh, OSYRON demonstrate their prowess for balancing a sonic attack and ethereal soundscapes.

Built around the themes of overcoming adversity, defining one’s purpose and finding one’s TELOS, the record focuses on emerging victorious through struggle and perseverance. It represents everything the band has fought for, everything they have learned, and everything they are becoming.

Dosser "Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake" Out 12/11 + Band Shares Video for Title Track

Baltimore's Dosser return with Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake, their second full-length and first for Iodine Recordings. Pre-order the album, out December 11, here.

They have shared the video for the title track. Watch it Below:

Building on the dense, melodic alternative rock of 2023's Violent Picture/Violent Sound, the band pushes further into the tension between heaviness and restraint, drawing from the weight and atmosphere of Failure, HUM, Shiner, Heatmiser, and Jawbox while continuing to carve out a sound distinctly their own.

Formed through Baltimore's DIY scene, Dosser have spent the years since their debut refining a sound built around layered guitars, driving rhythms, and melodies that emerge from beneath the noise. Across eight songs, Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake circles feelings of isolation, exhaustion, disconnection, and the search for something solid in a world that increasingly treats people as disposable.

The album's title came from an unlikely exchange with a suspected bot account that suddenly broke character and called the band "good for nothing, born for nothing, born by mistake." What began as a bizarre interaction quickly became an unexpectedly fitting metaphor for the record. "We felt like that was a good metaphor," the band explains. "How we're all born into a system that doesn't respect us. Then one day, it deems us obsolete and disposes of us."

Recorded, produced, and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Koyo) and mastered by Mike Kalajian, Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake captures Dosser at their most focused, balancing melodic immediacy with the urgency and tension that have defined the band from the beginning.

DOSSER LIVE:
9/21 — Washington, DC — Union Stage (W/ Saves The Day)
9/25 — Cleveland, OH — The Birdhouse (W/ I Hate It Too + OK Buddy)
9/26 — Evansville, IN — Fuchsia Fest (W/ Footballhead, Day Aches + MORE)

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: New Release Just Dropped From REVNOIR — WATCH + LISTEN

French modern metalcore force REVNOIR return with their powerful new single "Fracture," a gripping anthem that channels fear, resistance and the determination to keep fighting when hope feels increasingly difficult to hold onto. The release also marks the beginning of the pre-order for the band's highly anticipated debut album, Sometimes I feel you, sometimes I don't, set for release on November 27.

Described by the band as "a collective cry of resistance: the surrounding fear, and, in spite of it all, the refusal to give up," the track captures the tension of living in a world where silence, uncertainty, and helplessness can become overwhelming.

Built around the question of whether we simply stand by or find the courage to speak up, the track moves between raw vulnerability and outright defiance. Its lyrics paint a bleak picture of fear taking hold, voices being swallowed before they can be heard and people desperately searching for better days. Yet beneath that darkness lies a powerful sense of unity. "Fracture" ultimately refuses resignation, transforming anxiety, and isolation into a collective call to stand together.

Musically, REVNOIR deliver one of their most commanding statements to date. Stunning vocals collide with intricate, virtuosic instrumentation, and colossal modern production, steadily building toward a towering and unforgettable chorus. Heavy, atmospheric and deeply emotional, "Fracture" showcases the band's ability to balance vulnerability with sheer force while pushing their distinctive take on modern metalcore further forward.

Since emerging in 2023, REVNOIR have quickly established themselves as one of the most exciting new names in the French and European modern metal scene. Across their first two EPs and subsequent releases, the band have already accumulated more than 8 million streams, while their rapid rise earned them the title of Best Breakthrough Artist at Les Foudres 2025. Their growing reputation has also taken them to major stages across Europe, including Hellfest Main Stage, alongside extensive touring and festival appearances.

Their momentum has been equally evident on the live front. Following sold-out headline shows in Paris, REVNOIR have continued to expand their reach beyond France, including a European tour alongside Future Palace, proving that the intensity and emotion behind their music translate just as powerfully to the stage.

Pre-order here.

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: New Release Just Dropped From PLUME — WATCH + LISTEN

Rising alternative heavy act PLUME return with their striking new single "My Cortisol Face," the final release before their highly anticipated debut album Saferooms & Healing Frequencies arrives on September 25 via Arising Empire.

Blurring the lines between hyperpop shimmer, emotional metalcore and futuristic electronic production, "My Cortisol Face" captures PLUME at their most vulnerable and volatile. Glittering electronics collide with crushing guitars, ethereal clean vocals and piercing screams, creating a track that feels equally fragile, chaotic and euphoric.

Lyrically, the song dives headfirst into anxiety, distorted self perception and the exhausting battle against your own reflection. Images of glitter caught in the throat, ribs beneath paper thin skin and rehearsed smiles paint an unsettling picture of someone desperately trying to maintain the surface while everything underneath begins to fracture. The recurring question of whether this experience is a nightmare or everything they have been dreaming about sits at the emotional core of the track.

That conflict erupts in the chorus, where pain and style become almost inseparable. "My Cortisol Face" transforms inner turmoil into something strangely beautiful, balancing vulnerability with an undeniable sense of attitude and immediacy. As the song builds towards its desperate final moments, repeated questions of whether the pain will ever end underline the feeling of being trapped in an emotional freefall.

The single follows PLUME’s recent releases "Digital Waterboarding," "Furious Icon," "Angel Engine," and "A Cure For A Knife's Blade," each revealing another side of the band's rapidly evolving sonic identity. Since signing with Arising Empire earlier this year, the German four-piece has continued to establish itself as one of the most intriguing newcomers in modern alternative heavy music, combining pop sensibility with distorted guitars, synthesizers, fractured rhythms and a visual identity inspired by glam rock and contemporary digital culture.

Fronted by Pascal Pashaee alongside guitarist David Riederer, keyboardist Luka Lorch and drummer Richard Kilian, PLUME approach their music as more than a collection of songs. Their immersive live performances and carefully constructed visual world form an extension of a sound that refuses to sit comfortably within a single genre.

With their debut album Saferooms & Healing Frequencies set for release on September 25, PLUME are preparing to bring that vision into full focus. The 13-track record represents the next major step for a band increasingly determined to reshape the boundaries between pop, metalcore and forward thinking alternative music.

As the final glimpse of the album before its arrival, "My Cortisol Face" feels like a fitting statement of intent: intimate, dramatic, unpredictable and unapologetically PLUME.

9/19 — Lyon 07 France — La Petit Salon

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: New Releases Just Dropped From RESOLVE — WATCH + LISTEN

French metalcore force Resolve return with their brand new single "Spread My Ashes Into Space," marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for the band. Cinematic, crushing and deeply emotional, the track arrives alongside the announcement of their new album of the same name, Spread My Ashes Into Space" set for release on January 15. The album is available to pre-order here.

With "Spread My Ashes Into Space," Resolve push their unmistakable sound into vast new territory. Monumental riffs, atmospheric electronics and soaring melodies collide with moments of raw vulnerability, creating a track that feels both intensely personal and almost otherworldly in scale. While firmly rooted in the modern metalcore DNA that has defined the band, the single expands their sonic world with a renewed sense of ambition, depth and cinematic scope.

At its heart, "Spread My Ashes Into Space" explores the overwhelming desire to escape when the weight of reality becomes impossible to ignore. Space becomes a metaphor for absolute freedom, a place beyond expectations, pressure and noise. Against imagery of infinite darkness, solar flares and hyperspace, the song wrestles with the line between surrender and self preservation.

The band comments, "This first single and title track dive into the moment the breaking point is reached, and how that kickstarts a new perspective. The core of this song revolves around one specific question that kept coming up when writing the lyrics: "Is it a cure or an escape?"

"We've had times when the sheer weight of everything, the noise, the expectations, made me almost consider changing up my whole life and escape to a quieter, more serene place. In this song, space represents this: an ultimate silence and isolation. A place with 'no rules, no gods, just infinite black unknown.' It’s about the desperate need to find a sanctuary where you can finally be free from the weight of reality, a place where you can just exist however you see fit. This place has been harder and harder to reach for me these past few years, and we think we're not alone in that.

"Some might read the lyrics and see a dark surrender, but we want the audience to see it as written from a place of hope. It's that feeling of being an 'escape artist with no hands,' trying to find a way out when you're completely backed into a corner. Ultimately, it's a very raw admission that sometimes, the urge to disappear isn't about wanting to escape the actual world, but simply trying to save yourself from a system that feels too loud."

The title track sets the stage for what promises to be Resolve’s most expansive and emotionally charged album era yet.

Following two acclaimed albums, millions of streams, appearances at Hellfest and extensive touring alongside internationally renowned acts, the French quartet continue to establish themselves as one of modern metalcore’s most compelling voices. Heavy without sacrificing atmosphere and vulnerable without losing its intensity, "Spread My Ashes Into Space" captures Resolve at a pivotal moment, redefining their signature sound while remaining unmistakably themselves.

Swedish modern melodic metal frontrunners METALITE have unleashed a visualizer video for their brand-new single "The Metal Elite," another electrifying taste of their highly anticipated studio album Discovery, set for release on September 25 via PERCEPTION – Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music.
The new single captures METALITE at full intensity: Powerful, energetic and made to connect with a crowd, the track channels the adrenaline of a live show into an unapologetic celebration of metal and the bond between band and fans.

Guitarist, producer, songwriter and founder Edwin Premberg comments:
“The Metal Elite is all about stepping on stage and giving everything you’ve got, like it’s the last day of your life. It’s about that raw energy, the connection with the crowd, and delivering every note with full intensity. No holding back, just pure, unstoppable metal.”

Mixed and mastered by acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe), their new album Discovery pushes METALITE’s futuristic vision further than ever before. Across twelve dynamic tracks, the album explores themes of human evolution, technology, survival, liberation and hope in a universe shaped by digital realities and cosmic exploration in the year of 2058, three years after humanity left a collapsing Earth in search of a new beginning.

Building upon the sonic worlds established on Heroes in Time (2017), Biomechanicals (2019), A Virtual World (2021) and Expedition One (2024), the band once again proves why they are regarded as pioneers of modern sci-fi-inspired melodic metal!

ABOUT METALITE

Their evolution continued with A Virtual World and reached new conceptual heights with Expedition One, a visionary sci-fi journey set in the year 2055.

In 2024, drummer Erik Junttila joined METALITE, bringing renewed energy and precision to the band’s explosive live and studio performances.

Progressive Rock Duo DATURA LODGE Present A Psychological Thriller In Horror Inspired Video For "Hole"

Progressive rock duo DATURA LODGE delve into themes of regret and self-destruction through the warm analog comfort of David Lynch inspired visuals in the new release "Hole". Directed by Samantha Feyerabend-Muljat, the music video for "Hole" manifests in the form of a psychological horror as the protagonist spirals into self-sabotaging behaviors. The track is taken from the forthcoming, self-titled album set for release on October 2, 2026, via ARQUEN Records.

On the new release Nicky B explains the compositional process: "Musically this started for me with the small seed of the intro guitar and some effects I was playing with. It kind of fell together from there. One of the late additions to the arrangement that I am really happy with is the vibraphone in the bridge section. I was thinking specifically of the song 'Drifting' by Jimi Hendrix and knew Adam [Holzman, keys] would nail it since he had used similar sounds in his work with Steven Wilson. 'W' delivers an epic and emotional guitar solo that could not have been any more perfect for the song."

“W” adds: "This is undoubtedly the best song on the album. When we recorded this one, Ben proclaimed that 'this is the single!' Nicky B knocked it out of the park in the writer’s room and I think the band did a particularly good job handling the dynamics starting with the soft melancholy beginning and constantly building it up until it detonates with Nicky B belting the final chorus."

Director Samantha Feyerabend-Muljat comments on her creative approach:
"Since the band wanted to avoid a literal interpretation of the lyrics, I aimed to translate the emotional baggage into a tense, psychological mystery."

Emotional and captivating, the soundscape of "Hole" contains a dream-like atmosphere. The instrumental and vocals layers across the track are enveloping and immersive; they shut out the external world allowing one to become lost in their internal thoughts.

The band's debut self-titled album, Datura Lodge, is scheduled for release later this year via ARQUEN Records. 

Datura Lodge was produced by DATURA LODGE and Ben Karas. Tracks 1-5 were recorded at Frightbox Recording in Passaic, NJ, while tracks 6-9 were recorded at Frost Gauntlet Recording in Lyndhurst, NJ, all with engineer Ben Karas who mixed the album. The release was mastered by Andy VanDette at Evolve Mastering. The cover artwork for Datura Lodge was created by Samantha Feyerabend-Muljat.

Across the album, DATURA LODGE is joined by Adam Holzman on keyboards and Russell Holzman performing drums, with Ben Karas lending violin to "Stone". 

About DATURA LODGE:

DATURA LODGE is the latest musical endeavor from Nicky B and “W". Based out of Bergen County, New Jersey, USA, the duo has been performing music together since their early teens. From taking to stages locally in cover bands to releasing a video performing “Starless” by KING CRIMSON with John Wetton that amassed over 350,000 views on YouTube, the duo brings an array of experiences into their new project. 

Musical inspiration is primarily drawn from legendary progressive rock acts including GENESIS, KING CRIMSON, THE MARS VOLTA, and RUSH. DATURA LODGE strives to inject approachability into their sound while delivering hard-hitting hooks. Taking a bold creative direction, the band incorporates unexpected twists and turns across their tracks.

Glam Rock Star BOBBIE DAZZLE Unveils New Single "Wonder" + Official Video

BOBBIE DAZZLE, the catsuit-sporting queen of UK Glam Rock, is proud to unveil her new single, "Wonder," taken from her upcoming sophomore album, ‘Star Power,’ set for release on October 2nd via Rise Above Records. The new track arrives alongside an official video.

Watch the Official Video for "Wonder" Below:

Since the release of her debut, BOBBIE DAZZLE has rapidly established herself as one of the most distinctive new voices in UK Glam Rock, sharing stages with legendary artists including Alice Cooper, Sweet, Lita Ford and Thunder’s Luke Morley, as well as appearing at London’s Hyde Park with Jeff Lynne’s ELO. Along the way, the artist born Siân Greenaway has transformed her flamboyant alter ego into a fully realized musical world built on infectious melodies, theatricality, dazzling musicianship and unapologetic fun.

Now, BOBBIE DAZZLE channels that whirlwind experience into ‘Star Power,’ an album that expands upon the sonic and visual identity established on ‘Fandabidozi’ while introducing a little more grit and bite. The eleven-song collection was overwhelmingly written by BOBBIEand keyboardist Chris Dando and was recorded in the same studio as her debut, creating a natural connection between the two records.

Star Power' features several notable collaborations. Former Runaways guitarist Lita Ford contributes a blazing guitar solo to the closing track, "Feel It Too," while Pendulum’s Gareth McGrillen co-wrote and plays bass on "Snakes And Ladders," bringing an unexpected connection between BOBBIE’s glam rock world and the electronic intensity of drum & bass.

Throughout ‘Star Power,’ BOBBIE’s love of classic rock, glam, progressive rock and theatrical songwriting remains at the forefront. The album’s opening title-track picks up where‘Fandabidozi’ left off, while songs such as "Jack Rabbit" showcase her willingness to embrace the grand, elaborate arrangements of her influences. Her signature flute playing also remains an integral part of the sound, adding another dimension to an album that refuses to be confined to a single era or genre.

Chris Dando once again plays a key role in shaping the BOBBIE DAZZLE sound, particularly through his intricate stacked vocal harmonies, while guitarist Ash Baker and bassist Leon Smith, both members of her live band, contribute throughout the record and to its production.

At its core, ‘Star Power’ is an album about joy, escapism and the power of music to provide a world away from everyday struggles.

Wage War Announce New Album "LANDFALL" Out 10/9 + Band Shares Title Track

Florida's WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — continue to absolutely dominate 2026. After releasing the It Calls Me By Name EP this past spring, the band is now pleased to announce the new album Landfall, out digitally October 9 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

The band has shared the visualizer for the vicious title track. Watch and listen below. 

Opening with a foreboding emergency broadcast-style alarm before erupting in a bludgeoning riff, Wage War continue to indulge their heaviest side with "Landfall." It's a groove-heavy, guitar-forward anthem that sounds like... vengeance. The hellbound screams of Bond are punctuated by Quistad's melodic singing, making it a gloriously unpredictable listen. Wage War are at their heaviest and most melodic — EVER — with this track, as they continue to push their own boundaries. It's Wage War, but bigger, stronger, louder, and as impactful as ever.

"'Landfall' is a song about imminent danger and the realization that we aren't in control," Wage War offer. "Referencing our Florida roots, the hurricane imagery became a way of talking about that feeling of being completely at the mercy of something bigger than yourself. Musically, we wanted the verses to feel heavy and threatening, with the chorus being somber and inevitable."

Wage War will return to U.S. stages for a headline tour this fall, with We Came As Romans, Varials, and Cane Hill as support. The "Emergncy Broadcast" tour kicks off October 25 in San Antonio and runs through Novemebr 27 in Orlando in the band's native Florida. Get tickets here.
