SYLOSIS - drop psychological heavy-hitter 'Lacerations' from forthcoming album 'The New Flesh'

SYLOSIS have revealed the third single from their fiercly anticipated record, The New Flesh, due to drop on February 20th via Nuclear Blast Records. The New Flesh is being hailed as a towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force.

Today's new single, the psychological heavy-hitter 'Lacerations', showcases SYLOSIS at a career apex - stacked with anthemic hooks, razor sharp, and heavy-as-hell. The track encapsulates brutality and catchiness in perfect symbiosis.   

Josh Middleton stated,
"Lacerations has become a firm favourite amongst those that have heard the new record. After this song came together during the early stages of writing, I felt a huge sense of relief knowing that we had achieved our best song to date. I couldn’t get the chorus out of my head and that’s usually a good sign. Once we had this song under our belts we knew this album would a big step up in terms of our writing abilities.

Musically it calls back to some of the darker melancholic sounds from Edge of the Earth or even The Supreme Oppressor but with a ton of heavy riffs in there. Lyrically, this song is about facing your own mortality and health anxiety. I think a lot of people can relate to spiralling out of control when they think something’s wrong and how differently you look at your life, and what matters most when confronted with those intrusive thoughts."

When the going gets tough, metal gets heavier. SYLOSIS have always been devoted to the fine art of breaking necks, but in recent times, the urgency of their mission has grown exponentially. Still surfing on a wave of acclaim and the effusive fan response to their last album, 2023’s A Sign Of Things To Come, Josh Middleton’s virtuoso wrecking crew are poised to release their latest and best album, The New Flesh. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, the band’s seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of SYLOSIS in 2025: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.  

The New Flesh is a fearsome statement of renewed intent. Harder, heavier and more ruthless than its predecessor, it is full of the kind of explosive, riff-driven anthems that guarantee carnage in the pit. But this is no exercise in mindless bludgeon: instead, Josh Middleton has penned his most evocative and thought-provoking songs to date. From the punishing grooves and breakneck viciousness of the opening 'Beneath The Surface', to the epic conflagration of album closer 'Seeds In The River', The New Flesh is an artful and nuanced take on the pure metal that SYLOSIS hold close to their hearts. This is brutality and catchiness in perfect symbiosis.   

Dark and destructive, but dynamic and diligent, SYLOSIS are on blistering, career-best form on The New Flesh. The purposeful reset that began with The Sign Of Things To Come has evolved into something unstoppable, and the band’s latest work brims with confidence and authority. If it’s skull-shattering, 21st century heavy metal you want, The New Flesh brings it like never before.  

The Amity Affliction Announce New Album "House of Cards" Out 4/24 + Share Title Track

Embracing a new chapter of artistry as a band, The Amity Affliction announce their long-awaited new studio album, HOUSE OF CARDS. 

Releasing via Pure Noise Records on April 24, HOUSE OF CARDS is the first full-length outing from The Amity Affliction to feature clean vocalist Jonny Reeves, who became a permanent addition to the lineup in 2025. 

Bolstering Joel Birch's signature fusion of intense and open lyricism, the arrangements and vocal duality provided by The Amity Affliction throughout the DNA of this new album is set to reaffirm the band’s status as one of heavy music's most dynamic groups.

Today, the band shares the first taste of the new album — the impactful title track "House of Cards." A song penned by Birch for his brother and sister (and himself), taking stock of the relationship shared with their mother — a central figure at the heart of the album.

Open about the difficult nature of the relationship shared between mother and children, Birch unpacks the thematic nature of "House of Cards," saying, "Our mother died in 2024 and none of us had a healthy relationship with her. She was very self-involved, aggressive, abusive in our early years, and in her later years, spent a good amount of time trying to put a wedge between the three of us. Thankfully, once she passed, the three of us actually became closer as we realized we had individual, but shared trauma related to her."

With lyricism directly related to experiences Birch and his siblings experienced during their formative years, "House of Cards" is a song that matches its sonic intensity with emotional weight threaded through its poignant words. 

The single, both as an individual entry and as part of HOUSE OF CARDS' broader tapestry, is a strong moment of acknowledging trauma but in doing so, navigating it with a redefined perspective on life and human relationships. 

Released alongside the track, is the music video for "House of Cards," directed by Daniel Daly.

Watch the music video below:

As demonstrated throughout 2025 with both music ("All That I Remember") and a huge return to touring across North America, Europe, and the UK, the hunger The Amity Affliction share with their global audience when it comes to new material remains fervent. 

Across a two-decade strong career, the band has continued to take strides forward in delivering music that has brought them countless accolades including five ARIA #1 albums, over 1 billion streams, and numerous sold-out tours in both domestic and international markets. The release of HOUSE OF CARDS in 2026 is set to be a powerful addition to a catalogue that remains one of Australia's best. 

In addition to their current Australian tour dates, The Amity Affliction has also been announced as part of the HELLBOUND HEAVY METAL CRUISE for 2027. Setting sail in January 2027, the band will perform alongside heavyweights including PARKWAY DRIVE, ALPHA WOLF, I KILLED THE PROM QUEEN and THY ART IS MURDER.

INFERI Joins DEFEATED SANITY's North American Spring Tour as Direct Support, Replacing Vulvodynia

Extreme death metal masters INFERI are proud to announce that they will now be joining DEFEATED SANITY as direct support during the band's North American spring tour, in which they will be replacing Vulvodynia. The run will feature additional support from New Zealand’s Organectomy on all dates while Excresence, Scasm, and Horrific Vision will appear on select stops. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are available HERE.

DEFEATED SANITY comments, "Unfortunately due to outside factors Vulvodynia are no longer able to make this tour. Thankfully Inferi were able to step up here and replace them on short notice."

ICYMI: INFERI will be unleashing its latest studio album, 'Heaven Wept,' on April 10, 2026 via The Artisan Era! The band has recently released the pummeling first single, "The Rapture of Dead Light," along with a music video!

The clip sees INFERI vocalist Stevie Boiser, guitarist/vocalist Malcolm Pugh, guitarist Sanjay Kumar, and new drummer Nate Bigelow embark on an Indiana Jones style quest for the elusive Bigfoot. Watch the band square off with the battle-jacket wearing and headbanging entity to find out if their intricate riffs are a match for the enigmatic beast below.

'Heaven Wept' can be pre-order and pre-saved HERE.

In addition, INFERI is now embarking on the "All So Vile" trek through the UK and Europe as support for CRYPTOPSY along with 200Stabwounds and Corpse Pile. The tour has been selling out at nearly every stop and is still decimating the continent until the final stop in Paris (FR) on February 15.

In addition, INFERI will be performing at producer Dave Otero's inaugural Flatline Festival, which takes place June 13 - 14 at the Oriental Theater in Denver, CO. More info and passes can be found HERE.

Since the explosive success of Inferi's critically-acclaimed and chart topping 2018 full-length, 'Revenant,' the death metal battalion has continued to relentlessly churn like a raging maelstrom, dominating everything in its wake with the band's melodic and virtuosic approach to the genre. 'Heaven Wept' picks up where 2021's 'Vile Genesis' left off, putting forth the same mind-bending compositions and other-worldly musicianship that has set the band apart from their contemporaries. Inferi has risen to become a dominant force among modern American death metal acts since their reunion in 2011. 'Heaven Wept' is a master class in progressive extremity and is certain to make its mark as one of the greatest death metal offerings of this decade.

SABATON — THE TOUR TO END ALL TOURS, CONCERT FILM AVAILABLE ON VIDEO STREAMING SERVICES

This means fans can now experience The Tour To End All Tours — which travelled across Europe in 2023 and hit cinemas worldwide in 2024 — from the comfort of their sofas, bringing the SABATON energy straight into their living rooms. 

ABOUT "SABATON — THE TOUR TO END ALL TOURS":

"Sabaton – The Tour To End All Tours" means a great deal to the band. This show was recorded at a completely sold-out Ziggo Dome in 2023 in Amsterdam, where thousands of fans came together to share an unforgettable night.  For those who know SABATON's story, this concert carried special significance. When they first played in the Netherlands six years after they formed, it was in front of a handful of people. Looking back at that moment and comparing it to the packed arena of Amsterdam's Ziggo Dome is truly mind-blowing.

For more detailed information on this project, visit here.

NEW LEGENDS ALBUM:
On October 17, 2025, SABATON entered an exciting new chapter with the release of their eleventh studio album Legends.

Legends marks a bold evolution in SABATON's storytelling, as they plunge headfirst into the heart of some of history's most formidable and enigmatic figures, including the Knights Templar, Genghis Khan, Lü Bu, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Joan of Arc, Vlad The Impaler, Hannibal, Miyamoto Musashi, Senusret III and Gustavus Adolphus.

Listen to Legends here or get your hands on a physical copy of the album here.

Mayhem Drop Video for "Realm of Endless Misery" — WATCH

Black metal's most influential and legacy-defining entity emerges once again with their seventh studio offering, Liturgy of Death.

With this release, Mayhem reaffirm why they remain one of the most relentless pillars of extreme music. After more than four decades shaping the genre's evolution, the band now turns its creative gaze toward the inescapable presence of mortality.

Liturgy of Death explores the philosophy of mortality with stark, uncompromising clarity. The album presents death not as an ending, but as a universal law that touches all life and exposes the fragility of human existence. This impermanence becomes a call to live with full intensity, for every gain and loss ultimately falls back into the same silence. Echoing ancient philosophies, the album portrays life as a transitional state and death as a gateway to a higher form of being, while the solemn, dark beauty of death permeates the entire work.

Stream "Realm of Endless Misery" HERE.

Attila comments on the new track, "'Realm of Endless Misery' is the fourth single from the new Mayhem album and presents a state of human existence in which suffering is not an exception but a governing principle. The song portrays human life as a closed realm sustained by repetition, fear, and manipulation, where time itself becomes a mental trap and hope slowly drains from consciousness. It does not tell a story and offers no redemption. Through its mantra-like structure and cold, oppressive imagery, the track confronts the listener with the mechanics of misery, revealing a world in which destruction is not an endpoint but a permanent condition. Released as the third single in advance of the whole album, 'Realm of Endless Misery' deepens its unified dark vision and brings the listener one step closer to the final revelation."

PRE-ORDER LITURGY OF DEATH HERE

ALBUM COMES OUT THIS FRIDAY

Death Over Europe Headliner Tour starts tomorrow— tickets and more info HERE.

With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Morten Bergeton Iversen, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy of Death celebrates Mayhem's own legacy, a continuation of the raw and uncompromising sound that defined their beginnings. The result is a merciless record — dark, fast, and unrelenting — that captures the band in their most dangerous and vital form. 41 years since their formation in Langhus, Mayhem remain a defining force in Norwegian black metal, continuing to shape the sound they helped create.

MAYHEM LINEUP:

Ghul — Guitar

LORDS OF ACID ANNOUNCE A NEW ALBUM. A NEW TOUR. A NEW ERA.

Electronic provocateurs LORDS OF ACID return to the stage on April 25 with their headline U.S. run, the Cheeky Freaky Tour. The tour marks a bold new chapter for the iconic act—one that honors their legacy while delivering a fully realized,

uncompromising live experience rooted in the band’s unmistakable aesthetic and provocative spirit.

Spanning 29 cities across the United States, the Cheeky Freaky Tour is a high-voltage, multi-artist spectacle featuring both headline club dates and major festival appearances,

including Sick New World (April 25, Las Vegas) and Ritual Noize Fest (May 2, Denver). Each night is designed as an immersive, visceral experience—intense, confrontational, and unmistakably LORDS OF ACID.

“For the first time in eight years, there is truly new material,” says Praga Khan, founder and creative force behind LORDS OF ACID. “A new album is coming, and the ‘Cheeky

Freaky Tour’ ushers in a new era for the band, with respect for the past, but with a clear focus on the future.”

The “Cheeky Freaky Tour” is not a nostalgia tour. The tour reaffirms everything LORDS OF ACID have stood for over decades: a fearless, idiosyncratic approach to electronic music, a strong and unapologetic identity, and a live show that confronts, seduces, and surprises.

Led by the current Acid Queen Carla Harvey, LORDS OF ACID deliver a set in which iconic tracks such as “Pussy,”

“I Sit on Acid,” and “Crablouse” seamlessly merge

with new material. The show focuses on tension, dynamics, and presence, without distancing itself from the band’s roots.

The tour—a blend of pounding electronic beats, glam chaos, club culture, and pure attitude—is supported by a carefully curated line-up, each act contributing to the depth of the evening in its own way:

• Dead On A Sunday brings raw, modern gothic energy.

• Princess Superstar is known for sharp lyrics, and a distinctive, club ready

swagger.

• Tony and the Kiki add alternative, fashion-forward pop flair.

• MZ NEON opens the night with pulsating, underground-inspired electronic sounds.

Audiences will also experience the first live introduction to material from the upcoming LORDS OF ACID album, which features appearances from Princess Superstar and

Tony and the Kiki.

Known for decades of boundary-pushing sound and performance, LORDS OF ACID continue to redefine what a live electronic show can be: loud, visual, playful,

and fearless.

MALEVOLENCE ANNOUNCE CO-HEADLINE SPRING TOUR WITH GUILT TRIP

This spring, UK heavyweights MALEVOLENCE and GUILT TRIP are crossing the Atlantic to co-headline the 2026 'United Kingdom Metal and Hardcore Across North America 2026' tour. The journey begins March 31st in Detroit and spans 17 dates, including stops in Nashville, Houston, and two exclusive Canadian shows. The tour concludes in Milwaukee on April 23rd, with CHAMBER set to provide support for the entire run.

MALEVOLENCE comment, “Where to begin! Our first ever proper US headline tour after all these years and it is only right to be sharing the stage every night with some of our closest friends in the game GUILT TRIP from Manchester. With both bands proudly flying the flag not only for UK metal & hardcore but also more specifically the NORTH OF ENGLAND.

“Our relationship with GT is very well documented - from numerous tours together, collaborating on music & even helping to release their last record, it feels extremely fitting to be venturing onto foreign shores side by side for a big, bad co-headline debut - In our opinion a true demonstration to the American people of what real northern UK heavy music has to offer. We strongly advise you don’t miss this shit.”

"We’re so excited to return to the states with our good friends in Malevolence," states GUILT TRIP vocalist Jay Valentine. "it feels great to come back so soon and share a headlining slot with our UK brothers. After just one run, North America already feels like a second home to us and we can’t wait to see you all again!"

Recorded in California at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana’s Nevermind, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, and Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. For a band that’s always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything MALEVOLENCE stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band’s trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is MALEVOLENCE at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic.

Lyrically, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken reflects the principles that MALEVOLENCE have lived by since day one—honesty, loyalty, and integrity. These are not just themes woven into the album but values the band holds in their personal and professional lives. This record doesn’t deal in facades or empty gestures; it’s an unfiltered expression of the struggles, victories, and unshakable brotherhood that have carried them this far.

Malevolence are:
Alex Taylor | Vocals
Konan Hall | Guitar / Vocals
Josh Baines | Guitar
Wilkie Robinson | Bass
Charlie Thorpe | Drums

Midwinter Drop New Track "Champagne" and Official Music Video via Papercut Recordings

Emerging atmospheric metalcore quintet Midwinter have today unleashed their new single "Champagne" via their new label home, Papercut Recordings. The track captures the band's signature style, blending crushing heaviness and electronic dissonance with soaring vocals and moments of luminous clarity. Accompanying the release is the cinematic music video, which evokes the decadent spirit of the Roaring Twenties but emphasizes the song's theme of emotional divide when paired with the song.When asked about the inspiration and sound design of "Champagne", the band shared:

"'Champagne' is used as a metaphor to celebrate something that is actually hollow. It symbolizes escapism and temporary euphoria. At its core, the track explores abandonment and betrayal but are masked behind something generally associated with a celebration.

Sonically, we wanted to experiment with contrasting emotions. Similar to the lyrics, certain sections of the track emote feelings of beautiful nostalgia but soon give way to extreme and jarring textures. Blending these together creates a push-pull between optimistic reflection and the pain of loss."

Midwinter will also be on the road starting in April alongside Unprocessed and Allt, so be sure to get your tickets now at the link here. Stream "Champagne" here, watch the official music video below, and stay tuned for more Midwinter news coming this year.

Their sound design is immersive and intentional—layered with glitchy textures, dissonant melodies, and experimental production techniques that push genre boundaries and elevate every emotional peak and breakdown.

A.A. WILLIAMS Unveils Haunting New Single "Wolves"

Acclaimed heavy artist A.A. WILLIAMS returns with "Wolves," a mesmerizing new single that delves into the liminal space where consciousness and subconsciousness intertwine. The track marks another powerful addition to her evocative body of work, showcasing her ability to transform abstract emotional landscapes into visceral sonic experiences.

"Wolves" is a meditation on emotional echo, on searching without resolution, and on how even the faintest memories can leave a permanent mark on the psyche. The song captures the sensation of moving through a haze, where meaning feels close but never fully defined, and where longing exists without a clear object. It speaks to the human tendency to chase feelings, moments, or versions of ourselves that exist just beyond reach.

"Wolves describes the blurred lines between dreams and reality," says A.A. WILLIAMS. "Ideas and emotions bleed across the boundary, their imprint faint but profound, a softly etched signature on your psyche. Hazy memories begin to fade, you force your feet to touch the ground, yearning for things that were never yours, hopelessly, endlessly searching for the unattainable."

“Wolves” lands as A.A. Williams continues her track across the UK and Europe. Tickets are available HERE. Both "Wolves" and the previously released single "Just A Shadow" will be available as a tour exclusive vinyl during this run. 

About A.A. WILLIAMS:

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

Standout festival appearances have dovetailed with two album releases - 2020’s Forever Blue and 2022’s As The Moon Rests, which both received widespread critical acclaim and put A.A. WILLIAMS firmly in the slipstream of the wave of female vocalists taking textured, epic and folk-rooted heavy music into new and progressive directions. A BBC session at the legendary Maida Vale Studios only bolstered WILLIAMS’ credentials.

Not one to rest on her laurels, she has also released a selection of ‘companion pieces’ - a collaborative single with Japanese post-rock titans MONO (“Exit In Darkness”); a solo covers collection recorded during 2020’s pandemic lockdown — Songs From Isolation — that garnered praise from THE CURE’s Robert Smith and SMASHING PUMPKINS' Billy Corgan for her unique take on their original songs; and perhaps most impressively, 2021’s arco saw the multi-instrumentalist completely rework her debut EP from rock instrumentation to a string ensemble, utilising her classical training and arrangement skills to stunning effect.

With new label partner Reigning Phoenix Music, 2026 will serve as a major milestone for A.A. WILLIAMS.

Exploring Birdsong Release Video for New Single "42"

Following back-to-back sold-out headline shows in London, alt-pop trio Exploring Birdsong step confidently into a new era with their striking new single "42."

Centered on Lynsey Ward's arresting vocals, the band unveil a richer, more expansive sound that marks a clear evolution from the organic rawness of their piano-led beginnings. "42" balances emotional depth with cinematic ambition, showcasing a maturity and sonic confidence that signals a bold new chapter for the group.

Speaking of the track, Ward shares, "'42' is a song about paranoia, conspiracy theories and confirmation bias — it is written from the perspective of someone who has lost touch with reality, seeing patterns in their day to day life that are leading them to some answer, or a warning — but never quite getting the full picture of what it could all mean. Thematically, the song was drawn from personal experience in childhood, where a few coincidences with numbers could spiral into a feeling of being 'followed' by a number or symbol, and like the storyline of the rest of your life was being written with this at the centre, or as a clue."

She expands, "Conspiracy theories are more rife than ever, especially after spreading like wildfire during the pandemic. We wanted to present this as a sympathetic look at how something so simple can go so wrong, and where that desperation can lead; a state of anxiety, isolation, and losing touch with the world around you. The great irony is that, to some degree, we have now become the people in the story. We each notice the number '42' so regularly now that we update one another every time it pops up somewhere unexpected."

Stream "42" HERE.

Watch the video Below:

Exploring Birdsong have announced a headline UK tour this September. Dates start in Glasgow on the 23rd before stopping off in London and Bristol before concluding in Manchester on the 26th.

Tickets and more info HERE.

Exploring Birdsong have evolved into one of the UK’s most compelling and unclassifiable modern bands. Following a bold shift in sound first signaled by the acclaimed 2024 singles "The Collapse," "Weight in Gold," "All I Lack," and "Stitch," the three-piece have expanded their sonic palette without sacrificing the emotional intimacy and genre-blurring beauty that defines them.

Fronted by the unmistakable voice of Lynsey Ward, alongside Jonny Knight (bass, keyboards) and Matt Harrison (drums), Exploring Birdsong craft a sound that seamlessly weaves vulnerability, heaviness, and intricate songwriting into something entirely their own. Their approach to modern heavy music feels both cinematic and deeply personal, balancing raw feeling with experimental ambition.

By 2025, the band's reputation had translated into undeniable momentum. Exploring Birdsong sold out two headline shows at London's iconic St Pancras Old Church in a matter of minutes, following on from two equally sold-out headline showcases in Manchester and London the year prior. These landmark performances cemented their status as a band whose live presence resonates just as powerfully as their recordings.

The trio have previously shared stages with Katatonia and Sleep Token, alongside main stage appearances at RADAR Festival and Euroblast, further showcasing their ability to connect across scenes and audiences. Straddling pop, progressive rock, and an uncategorizable spectrum of sound, Exploring Birdsong remain largely unplaceable. Touchstones can be found in the inventive edge of Everything Everything, the dramatic flair of Kate Bush, and the synth-driven intensity of Enter Shikari — yet the result is unmistakably, and uniquely, Exploring Birdsong.

EXPLORING BIRDSONG ARE:
Lynsey Ward — Vocals, Piano
Jonny Knight — Bass, Synthesizers
Matt Harrison — Drums, Percussion

Check out the dates for the Swamp Survivor Tour so you can come dance with us!!!”

Rock n Roll Fantasy Camp Celebrates 30 Years of Changing Lives Through Music

For 30 years, Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has done something no one thought possible — bringing everyday musicians into rehearsal rooms, studios, and onto stages with the greatest rock legends of all time.

Founded by music industry veteran David Fishof, Rock Camp has become a global phenomenon, uniting thousands of fans and artists through a once-in-a-lifetime immersive experience. As the camp enters its 30th Anniversary year, it does so with one of the most iconic lineups in its history.

The 2026 camps feature legendary headliners including:
Roger Daltrey (The Who)
Stewart Copeland (The Police)
Tommy Lee (Mötley Crüe)

Together, these artists represent three of the most influential bands in rock history — making this anniversary year a true dream lineup for music fans worldwide. Full dates and talent details are available at rockcamp.com.

Over the years, Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp has attracted an extraordinarily diverse and accomplished community. Past campers have included Coach John Benton (of the Seattle Seahawks), a former Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky, as well as college professors, doctors, lawyers, engineers, and tech innovators. Among them is Ed Oates, co-founder of Oracle, underscoring the camp’s appeal to elite thinkers and creators far beyond the music world.

Equally notable is the camp’s commitment to inclusion. Today, over 40% of Rock Camp participants are women, many of whom are exceptionally accomplished musicians. In an industry long dominated by men, Rock Camp has quietly become a place where women thrive creatively, collaborate fearlessly, and take the stage alongside the legends they admire. The camps also offer 'Women’s Only', and 'Songwriting' camps too.

Beyond the campers, Rock Camp has been equally meaningful for the artists themselves. The late Jeff Beck called the camp “the best way to give back” after everything music had given him. Roger Daltrey says in the documentary Rock Camp that the experience reminds him of what it felt like when he was just starting out. Gene Simmons has said he wishes Rock ’n’ Roll Fantasy Camp existed when he was coming up so young artists could learn directly from the legends.

The Rock Camp story has resonated deeply in popular culture, with appearances and coverage spanning The Simpsons, Billions, Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, and Pawn Stars.

The documentary ROCK CAMP is currently available for free on Amazon, YouTube, and all major streaming platforms. 

The Rock Camp podcast continues to spotlight unforgettable stories from artists and campers alike.

IAN MUNSICK RETURNS TO RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 2026

After selling out his headlining debut at Red Rocks Amphitheatre in June 2024, Wyoming native Ian Munsick is setting his return to the Rocky Mountain’s coveted venue alongside ERNEST and Ned LeDoux for one-night-only on August 25, 2026. Ticket pre-sale begins Wednesday, February 4 using code EAGLE, with general on-sale starting Friday, February 6 at IanMunsick.com. 
 
“Red Rocks we’re coming home!!! After 2 years of reminiscing on that euphoric June night in 2024, Rocky Mountain Fever and I are returning to the most magical stage in the West,” Musick beams. “If you were a part of that magic the first time, just wait til you experience what we have in store for you this time. And if you missed the first time, you best get your rear in gear so you don’t miss the greatest show you’ll see all year (and maybe your lifetime?) see you in August, Colorado 🏔️🎻🔥”
 
Munsick’s 2024 debut saw the singer celebrated by The Tennessean as a "virtuoso entertainer" achieve both career and personal milestones alongside friends and family.

*Festival Date

Steeped as deeply in the wells of gothic country and Americana as they are in black metal, WAYFARER have given a sound and a face to the American West in the world of heavy music.

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, and having carved out their identity for over a decade with five full length albums and tours around the world - the band are putting the final notes on the chapter that started with the heralded release of 'AMERICAN GOTHIC.' 

Released in late 2023 to acclaim for music publications worldwide, the album placed at or near the top in many year-end accolades from sources like Rolling Stone, Metal Hammer, Decibel Magazine and more - and saw the band make their mark at festival and club stages around the world.

They ride across the United States one final time for the 'AMERICAN GOTHIC' era, alongside Finland's mind melting ORANSSI PAZUZU in their first proper US tour in nearly a decade. WAYFARER will take stages across the country with riff soaked elegies of blood and gunpowder in tow.

Lineup:

Isaac Faulk: Drums

James Hansen: Bass, Vocals

Shane McCarthy: Guitars, Vocals

Joey Truscelli: Guitars
