ATTILA Rally The Disenfranchised With New Single "America's Rejects"; Add Butcher Babies & DED To America's Rejects Tour

Atlanta’s party metalcore heavyweights Attila are back with their new anthem “America’s Rejects”, out now on all major platforms. The track is a bold declaration of defiance and serves as an unapologetic anthem for outcasts, misfits, and anyone daring to defy the status quo. Fans can listen to the track HERE and watch the visualizer below.

The new single coincides with the announcement that the band's America’s Rejects Tour, just got even bigger. Joining Attila and previously announced special guests Dealer and Nathan James on the road will be heavy hitters Butcher Babies and Ded, making this tour one of the biggest and loudest parties of the year. Tickets are on sale now HERE

Speaking on their new track and the new additions to their upcoming tour, Attila frontman Chris 'Fronz' Fronzak shares:

“‘America’s Rejects’ is an anthem for anyone who’s ever felt like they didn’t belong—a big middle finger to the status quo. Adding Butcher Babies and Ded to this lineup takes it to a whole new level. This tour isn’t just a show; it’s a movement. We’re uniting the rejects, the outcasts, and anyone who’s ready to throw it all in the face of the norm. 2025 is our year, and this tour is going to be a big f** you to everything holding you back!”*

The America's Rejects Tour starts on March 4 at Club L.A. in Destin, FL, and continues through 22 cities before culminating at The Orpheum in Tampa, FL, on April 5. Full routing below. Tickets are on sale now HERE

ABOUT ATTILA

Chris Fronzak (vocals), Chris Linck (guitar), and Kalan Adam (bass) aka ATTILA have been churning out metalcore anthems for nearly two decades, shaping and defining the genre as they go.

 

Formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2005, ATTILA has released eight studio albums, including their infamous 2013 smash hit, "About That Life" which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 at #22. The band are best known for their uniquely aggressive heaviness, their incendiary, high-energy live shows and their tongue-in-cheek, not-giving-a-fuck attitude. Their music has amassed over 290 million streams and they currently have 737k monthly listeners on Spotify alone.

 

ATTILA has continued to thrive and evolve over the years, cementing their status as one of the most influential bands in the modern metalcore genre. ATTILA began a new era in April of 2023 with the release of “Bite Your Tongue” which shocked fans around the world with the surprise addition of clean vocals from Fronz for the first time ever on one of the band's tracks. A string of stand-alone singles then followed - "Mia Goth", "FU4EVR", "Timebomb", "New Devil" Ft. Dickie Allen, "Dog Pack" Ft. Sn8ke and "Wasteland" Ft. DED Between them, the new singles have racked up 12.8 million streams on Spotify alone and 860,000 YouTube views.

CROSSFAITH Announce HYPER PLANET 2025 Festival Lineup Feat. UNDEROATH, ENTER SHIKARI, WARGASM, PALEDUSK, SIM, + More

Formed in Osaka, Japan in 2006, CROSSFAITH have represented the very best of what Eastern metalcore has to offer each year since. Combining their heavy roots with their love of electronic and dubstep elements, the band has solidified a space in the hearts of millions by meeting and surpassing the expectations of genre purists everywhere. 
 

In their mission to spread the love of live music, CROSSFAITH proudly present the HYPER PLANET 2025 Festival — a celebration of musicians performing their respective crowd favorites on Sunday, February 2. HYPER PLANET will take place at Japan's largest convention center, Makuhari Messe in the 7-8 Hall, and will host bands including but not limited to: Enter Shikari, Underoath, Wargasm, Paledusk, and more.

"From the moment we started Crossfaith, hosting our own festival has always been one of our biggest dreams. With HYPER PLANET, a festival we are proud to host, that dream is now coming true," says Crossfaith's Kenta Koie.
 
He continues, "This will be a place where artists from around the world, Japanese artists, and people who resonate with music can unite as one. HYPER PLANET breaks the boundaries of traditional rock festivals by featuring music that has shaped us — genres like hip-hop, electronic and more. Here, you'll experience a world where music knows no borders."
 
Koie finishes, "We are pouring everything into this festival and truly hope the movement we create will reach not only Japan but expand and evolve globally too!"

With multiple nominations over the years for being the Best International Band, CROSSFAITH remain a fixture in the music community and strongly believe in bringing the best bands to every music fan, no matter the destination, and this mentality has brought them around the globe to share the very best from their catalog of five studio albums. So, armed with metalcore favorites and their own tricks up their sleeve, join CROSSFAITH in Japan this February to honor some of the very best to grace the stage.

MORE ABOUT CROSSFAITH:
"Playing heavy music is how I feel alive," says singer Kenta Koie. "We want Crossfaith to be the band making music that no one has ever heard before. Crossfaith formed in 2006 and released their debut album The Artificial Theory for The Dramatic Beauty in 2009, followed by The Dream, The Space (2011), Apocalyze (2013), Xeno (2015), and Ex Machina (2018). Each one saw the band blend its love of punk rock, metal, and electronic music in daring new ways. "Good art is how I express myself to other people. It's hard to talk from the bottom of my heart, that's why I write these songs," Koie says. In keeping with their progressive musical journey, 2020's SPECIES EP saw the band continue to push their own sonic soundscape to new grounds.The band dropped the pandemic-penned single "Gimme Danger" in 2022.

Close Enemies with Tom Hamilton of Aerosmith Sign to TLG|ROCK for Management and Label Partnership ​   

Close Enemies, a powerhouse band featuring legendary musicians Tom Hamilton, multiple Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and bassist of the biggest-selling American rock band of all time, Aerosmith, is joined by legendary drummer Tony Brock (The Babys and Rod Stewart), touring veterans Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow and Don Henley) and Trace Foster on guitar, and singer Chasen Hampton, who has been singing professionally since the age of 11, as a member and co-host of the famed 90s Mickey Mouse Club and pop group The Party, proudly announce their signing with TLG|ROCK for management and label services. The record will be distributed through Virgin Music Group. Unlike the name suggests, these five guys are close friends, each with an illustrious musical career.

 

The band will release their debut single "Sound Of A Train" on January 17th and will be playing shows in support (dates below).

 

Tom Hamilton (Bass): "We’re really excited to be working with TLG/Virgin on the release of the Close Enemies record! They’re genuinely as excited about putting it out as we are! Can’t wait to see what happens!"

 

Tony Brock (Drums): "TLG/Virgin are the perfect match for Close Enemies as we are both SUPERGROUPS! 👌 Can’t wait to see the results!!"


Trace Foster (Guitar): "After spending a year on the writing and recording of this record, we were not going to sign with just anyone to put it out. Once we spoke with Dennis Sanders and his team at TLG/Virgin, we knew we had an ally with the same vision."

 

Chasen Hampton (Vocals): "Honored to join forces with history! TLG/Virgin/Universal Music Group are all proven visionaries and a perfect fit for this band of brothers. We are excited to get this music heard and be a part of this new family."

 

Peter Stroud (Guitar): "We could not ask for a better partner with Denny and The Label Group. His experience across all fronts of the industry is a perfect fit for Close Enemies. And I always prefer flying Virgin! It’s an honor to be playing with these musical brothers and now working with the ultimate team."

 

Denny Sanders, CEO of TLG|ROCK: "My good friend Andy Gallagher of the band Overhaul sent me the music. I absolutely loved it, then to find out who's in the band, well that was just icing on the cake. We are all thrilled here at TLG to be working with Close Enemies."

ALIEN WEAPONRY to Support Kerry King (Slayer) along “North American Headline Tour 2025”

Following the Tribeca film festival debut of their documentary, "Alien Weaponry: Kua Tupu Te Ara," New Zealand's global metal frontrunners, ALIEN WEAPONRY are slated to join the legendary Kerry King with his new band (featuring members of Slayer, HELLYEAH, Machine Head, and Death Angel) as well as special guests Municipal Waste on King’s bombastic “North American Headline Tour 2025!” The tour is set to launch in San Francisco on January 15, 2025, and wrap at House of Blues in Las Vegas on February 22.

ALIEN WEAPONRY won over fans and critics alike with their latest album, 'Tangaroa.' The album coalesces the band’s growing maturation with an undisturbed songwriting process, resulting in their most inspired, honest and informed material yet. In addition to lyrics written in te reo Māori, many 'Tangaroa' tracks feature traditional instruments, called taonga puoro, providing the tracks their own warrior-like attitude. While ALIEN WEAPONRY sourced inspiration from their culture and environmental surroundings while writing most of 'Tangaroa,' the band also looked inward - drawing vision for other portions of the album from within.

The lead single and most popular song from the album, "Make Me Famous", delivers a gluttonous feast of violence, chaos, and satire. Extreme and multi-faceted both lyrically and visually, this track dwarfed Dracula's previous musical output by abrasively blending multiple styles, all composed instrumentally by Kim Dracula themselves. Genres include metal, industrial, jazz, trap, and Latin music, all within a single song without flying off the rails. This eclectic combination of musical styles is consistent throughout the entire album.

 

Still at the beginning of their career, their distinctive and unique musical style has already begun making waves, inspiring numerous emerging artists. With their musical compositions, extreme visuals, and refusal to fit into any specific box, Kim Dracula is gaining a devoted following all across the world and in all different communities.

Chase Rice Brings Two Unique Acoustic Shows to Chief’s on Broadway in February

Multi-talented country artist Chase Rice will perform two exclusive acoustic shows this coming February at the Neon Steeple, the intimate venue inside Chief’s on Broadway. The special evenings will spotlight Rice's two most recent critically acclaimed and deeply personal albums while also featuring fan-favorite hits and unreleased new music. Tickets to both dates go on sale this Friday, Dec. 20 at 12 p.m. CT via Chase Rice.com.
 
February 13: A Night of I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go to Hell
Rice will delve into the storytelling and raw emotion of his record hailed for its authenticity and connection to his roots, with Forbes heralding the project as “a full-circle, career defining journey for Rice, as both a singer and a songwriter,” and Billboard celebrating it as “one of 2023’s most unexpected artistic pivots” on their all-genre best albums list. Featuring hits like “Bench Seat” and “Oklahoma” this album captured Rice's journey of loss, self-discovery and reconciliation with his past.  
 
February 14: A Night of Go Down Singin’
On Valentine’s Day, Rice will feature his recently-released independent album praised by Rolling Stone as “an excellent collection of poignant, often anthemic country,” which finds Rice “trying to do what creative people are supposed to: grow and change,” while Cowboys & Indians proclaimed that “maturity and clarity are the reality on Chase Rice's new album…what is sure to be one of 2024’s most well-received country albums of the year.” With tracks such as “Hey God It’s Me Again” and “You In ’85,” the album showcases Rice’s continued evolution as an artist, embracing vulnerability, soulful melodies and rich instrumentation. 
 
Set within Eric Church’s newly opened multi-level venue, Chief’s, the Neon Steeple offers an intimate and unforgettable concert experience, giving fans an opportunity to see Rice perform these critically acclaimed albums in a rare setting. The two-story, 400-capacity performance space situated in the heart of the building is designed to prioritize the connection between artists and audiences, creating an atmosphere that feels personal and immersive while spotlighting original music performances on Nashville’s famed Lower Broadway.
 
Following this pair of unique shows in the heart of Music City, Rice will embark on his recently-announced Go Down Singin’ International Tour 2025 spanning Australia, the U.S. and Canada. Kicking off on March 8 and running through late August, the tour visits major markets such as Sydney, Melbourne, New York, Boston, Fort Worth, St. Louis, Oklahoma City and more, with Rice also appearing on several major festival lineups.

About Chase Rice
With more than 2.6 million albums sold and over 2.8 billion total streams, plus a legion of passionate fans at his high-energy concerts across the globe, Chase Rice has established himself as a powerful force in Nashville and beyond. With independent album Go Down Singin’ available everywhere now as the follow-up to the critically acclaimed I Hate Cowboys & All Dogs Go To Hell, and both brought together on brand new offering Fireside Sessions, Rice’s sound continues to evolve to reflect the realities of his life; from emotional reckoning to an admiration of the American West. The new music serves as a follow up to his three-part project, The Album, which featured his latest Platinum-certified No. 1 hit, “Drinkin’ Beer. Talkin’ God. Amen.” and the Platinum-certified Top 10 hit “Lonely If You Are.”
 
This is the same gravelly-voiced Chase Rice fans first fell in love with years ago – but better, freer; unbeholden and uninhibited. The new music builds upon the success of his sophomore album, Lambs & Lions, which featured the 3x Platinum, two-week chart topper “Eyes On You” – Rice’s first No. 1 as an artist and the most-streamed song of his career. Lambs & Lions followed Platinum-certified Ignite the Night, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums and No. 3 on the all-genre chart, producing a pair of Top 5 hits; Platinum-certified “Gonna Wanna Tonight” and Double Platinum “Ready Set Roll.” In addition to guesting on sold-out stadium shows with Kenny Chesney and Garth Brooks, Rice served as direct support on Dierks Bentley’s 2024 Gravel & Gold Tour and consistently sells out venues on his own headlining tours across the U.S. and beyond, with the Go Down Singin’ International Tour set to kick off in early 2025

CAVALERA - ANNOUNCE 'THIRD WORLD TRILOGY' U.S. TOUR!

CAVALERA has become synonymous with extreme metal music, a name that to this day still holds the highest regard, a family legacy built upon decades of musical aggression. In 2023, Max and Iggor Cavalera achieved what some would say was an impossible feat; they revisited their earliest releases, Morbid Visions, and Bestial Devastation, and re-recorded them with bone-breaking intensity. A risk that few would dare to even attempt, yet they artfully and prolifically attained their trademark raw sound by means that could only be described as magic or time travel. 

Today, the band announce their 'Third World Trilogy' U.S. Tour.

Max Cavalera states, "We are really excited to bring the 'Third World Trilogy', featuring Schizophrenia, to the US! If you want to hear  fast riffs, pummeling drums, thunderous bass, and schizophrenic leads, jump in our pit!!"

Iggor Cavalera comments, “I’m super excited about this upcoming us tour, is one of those rare chances to see our first releases on our most purest form performed live. I hope to see you all in the pit!!! Don’t sleep on these dates. You have been warned. X”

No stranger to collaborations, the Cavalera brothers enlisted Travis Stone (PIG DESTROYER) on lead guitars, and that choice becomes obvious within the first song. The full lineup would consist of more Cavalera alumni, as Igor Amadeus Cavalera (GO AHEAD AND DIE, HEALING MAGIC) once more brought his talents on bass to the fold. Thundering and thrumming the low end with brute force, it is clear that the double Iggor and Igor combination is a rhythm section to be reckoned with.

It should come as no surprise that the CAVALERA brothers always felt that these songs deserved a fresh take with modern production. From April 15th to June 5th, 2023 the band re-recorded the album at Focusrite Room in Mesa, Arizona. Mixing and mastering was handled by Arthur Rizk (SOULFLY, GO AHEAD AND DIE, TURNSTILE) and engineering was completed by John Aquilino.

Schizophrenia’s album cover has obsessed and fascinated fans for decades. The brothers left no stone unturned and no detail unnoticed, also revisioning the original cover artwork of the album, restored in hand-painted watercolors by Eliran Kantor

With the impressive catalog that the CAVALERA brothers have created over the years, you will soon see that Schizophrenia will also sit amongst their greatest achievements. Max and Iggor have relinquished an album that for many years was locked away behind rusty, iron cell doors, barred by straight jackets and haunted by madness. From the past comes the storms as Schizophrenia is set loose on the world once more!

The Intemperate Sons Release New Single "Meat Suit" Along with Music Video ​ 

Alt-rock band The Intemperate Sons have unveiled their new single, "Meat Suit," accompanied by a compelling music video, now available via FRAME|WORK.

 

The band describes the track as “a sludgy and honest expression of surviving in a world where everyone wants to have a bite.” They go on to explain, “The emptiness in the ritual of living to die starts and ends under the ‘Meat Suit,’ a relentless cycle of hunger and thirst that only deepens with each passing day.”

 

With its raw and unfiltered sound, "Meat Suit" delivers heavy, sludgy riffs and honest lyrics that reflect the band’s unique style and gritty worldview. The accompanying music video intensifies the song’s themes, offering a visual journey.

 

This release marks another bold step in The Intemperate Sons' evolution, showcasing their ability to blend thought-provoking storytelling with dynamic musicality.

 

The single "Meat Suit" is now streaming on all major platforms.

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.  All mastering is done by Mike Marsh Mastering in the U.K.

The band's latest album Dark Day's Night is available HERE

 

WATCH the official music video for "Meat Suit" below:

The Intemperate Sons’ take on alternative rock is a dark and powerful concoction of hard rock mixed with folk and grunge concepts. The band has earned a serious reputation for writing and performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style, which has a retro vibe with many guitar-driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate at a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and even R.E.M.

 

The Intemperate Sons are:

Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass)

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

 

 

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

Sat Feb 1 @ Hanovers Draught Haus in Pflugerville, TX with Dogs and Diamonds

Fri Mar 14 @ Fitzgerald's Bar and Live Music Venue in San Antonio, TX

BEYOND THE GATES 2025 Reveals Full Lineup; OPETH, CANDLEMASS, PARADISE LOST + More Added

BEYOND THE GATES 2025 FESTIVAL PASSES + TICKETS

Beyond the Gates Festival 2025 is now unveiling the final lineup for next summer, which is the festival's most varied lineup to date as 18 of the bands have never performed at BTG before! The festival now welcomes Opeth, Paradise Lost, Candlemass, Taake, Tribulation, Lucifer, Hexvessel, Misþyrming, Attic, Helheim and Gehenna to the already-stacked lineup.

In addition to Taake doing a special 20 year set of 'Doedskvad,' this will be Gehenna's first show ever with the original line-up! They will be performing a set based on their newly re-released first three albums - 'The First Spell,' 'Seen Through the Veils of Darkness (The Second Spell),' and 'Malice.'

The four-day extravaganza will once again take place in Bergen (NO) from July 30 - August 2, across several venues, including USF and the iconic Grieghallen, where many of Norway's seminal black metal artists recorded their legacy records.

Festival booker Torgrim Øyre comments:

"So this is it, the full line-up for Beyond the Gates 2025 - Chapter XIII. What is more natural than announcing our thirteenth chapter on Friday the 13th?

"What can we say - we are immensely proud of what is without a doubt our most varied line-up to date. 18 of the announced bands have never played the festival before, which we think is a statement of good health for a niche festival operating for 13 years. 

"The 2025 line-up boasts a wide selection of curated sets, including a first ever live appearance of the original Gehenna line-up. The reformed band will perform a set based on their newly re-released three first albums. These are jewels in the Norwegian Black Metal canon and their brilliance can not be overstated. Pure class.

"King Diamond will play his first solo concert in Bergen ever, and his first show in Norway in 19 years. 

"Opeth has just released their barnstormer 'The Last Will and Testament' to great acclaim. The album sees the band return to some of their metal roots, while still keeping their timeless prog elements firmly in place. What an album and what a treat it will be to see the Swedish master in the legendary Grieghallen.

"Abbath Doom Occulta will close the festival by bringing his incredibly awesome ‘Return to the Raven Realms’ tour to Grieghallen, featuring songs from his period in Immortal exclusively. Mind you, the production is a sight to behold."

The full lineup is now as follows:

“As a festival, Beyond the Gates is immediately lovable. Bergen is intrinsically part of that embrace… Sure, Norway’s expensive, but seeing the best bands out there, taking in a Tolkienesque fjord or two, pilgrimaging to Fantoft church, hitting up Gaahl’s art gallery (Galleri Fjalar) nestled in the quaint houses at Bryggen while Freyr gleefully and continually pisses rain on you from the heavens? All worth its weight in hordes of kroner.” - Decibel Magazine, December 2022 issue

Since the inception of the Beyond the Gates festival, fans have been coming to Bergen to see performances of their favorite Norwegian artists in their home environment. As most visitors know, nature and local culture has always been a poignant source of inspiration for the bands emerging from the Bergen scene. Yet again, Beyond the Gates will give all of the traveling fans the opportunity to get an unique insight into all aspects of the Norwegian Metal scene and the local culture in general. In that regard, we’re putting together a series of events before and during the festival so that all of you can discover what inspired – and still does - the Norwegian metal scene.

More special events will be announced, including exclusive listening parties, music and culture panels, in-depth live interviews, and a wealth of of events and activities that will give you a Beyond the Gates Experience that will last for a lifetime. Stay tuned for more...

AU's Windwaker Announce "HYPERVIOLENCE" Expansion Pack + Share "Apathy"

Australia's WINDWAKER — vocalist Liam Guinane, guitarist Jesse Crofts, bassist Indey Salvestro, drummer Chris Lalic, and synths/samples specialist Connor Robins — released HYPERVIOLENCE this past summer via Fearless Records. The band also crashed domestic shores for their first-ever U.S. tour this summer, supporting Northlane. It was truly a smashing success where Windwaker won the audience over each and every night!

The band is thrilled to announce that it is dropping the HYPERVIOLENCE EXPANSION PACK deluxe record on February 14. Pre-order it here.

The EXPANSION PACK will feature three new tracks, plus a new version of "SIRENS" featuring TSS, the further details of which will be announced at a later date.

But today, they are sharing the visualizer for "Apathy." Watch and listen below.

"'Apathy' is a reflection of the growing fatigue in today's society — a catchy upbeat anthem wrapped in a dark biting tone," the band states. "It tackles the overwhelming noise of politics and the relentless chatter both online and offline that leaves so many feeling disillusioned and detached."

Shattering all restraint, Windwaker tear at the seams of their sonic boundaries, refining and finessing their craft into something truly unique. Concocting an unsuspecting recipe of electro-charged violence, sickly sweet pop hooks, bouncing hip-hop moments and slick riffage, the charismatic quintet move towards exciting new territory with each new release. And HYPERVIOLENCE is the summit of their efforts.

Windwaker will return to the U.S. for their second-ever tour of the market this coming winter with fellow Aussies Make Them Suffer. All dates are below.

Emerging out of Melbourne, Victoria, the Australian outfit has cultivated a dedicated and passionate fanbase, amassing millions of digital streams since their inception in 2017. Last July's release, "SIRENS," has cracked over 4.5 million Spotify streams in just a few months time, and saw the band travel across the nation in celebration on the Love In The Dark Tour with Caskets (UK) and alt., selling out nearly every date along the way.

The band's debut album Love Language was released in 2022 via Fearless Records and Cooking Vinyl, demonstrated an unpredictable and undeniable exploration of love across 12 tracks. Windwaker translate their electric and eclectic energy on record to the live stage, with JB Hi-Fi's STACK Magazine last year reviewing: "From full-on mosh to sensitive slowdance, the five-piece delivered a propulsive statement on the status of modern metalcore." The band have carved their name into the core of Australia's alternative music community and have toured alongside some of metal's most favored acts — Beartooth (US), I Prevail (US), Motionless In White (US), Enter Shikari (UK), Caskets (UK), Creeper (UK), Northlane, and more.
