Hollywood Undead Sample Legendary Slayer Riff On Ruthless New Anthem "1x1"

Los Angeles, CA -- Hollywood Undead release new single "1x1" today via Sumerian Records. The track is built around a sample of the legendary riff from Slayer's "Raining Blood" and arrives as the band carries the momentum of a massive 2025 straight into a spring and summer festival circuit spanning North America and Europe. Stream "1x1" HERE and watch the accompanying music video below.

"1x1" makes no apology for what it is. Built on hard-pounding beats and the unmistakable bones of one of metal's most revered tracks, it finds Hollywood Undead in full victory-lap mode, the chorus landing like a verdict: one by one they fall, let the reaper take them all. The band has spent seventeen years earning the right to talk like this, and the numbers back it up. With over 3.2 billion cross-platform streams and 4.1 million monthly Spotify listeners, "1x1" is the natural evolution of a band that knows exactly where they stand.

Matt Good (Skrillex and The Haunt), handles production. The nu-metalesque beats lay the foundation, the slowed down "Raining Blood" riff builds the vibe and the punchy rap verses build to a huge chorus to create an undeniable banger, the likes of which Hollywood Undead have spent nearly two decades perfecting.

Speaking on today's release, Hollywood Undead share

“This song is about resilience. People are always going to doubt you or try to bring you down, but the point is getting back up every time and reminding them you’re still here, and that you can’t be replaced.”

"Hollywood Forever," the band's October 2024 Sumerian Records debut, set the tone for this chapter, cracking 20.3 million cross-platform streams and peaking at #18 at Active Rock radio. "SAVIOR" followed in June 2025, pulling the band in a darker, more emotionally exposed direction. "1x1" lands as the third piece, and the pivot back is deliberate. Where "SAVIOR" was confession, this is confrontation.

In between, 2025 kept Hollywood Undead busy. A co-headline run with Tech N9ne. Mainstage slots at Sonic Temple, Welcome to Rockville, and Louder Than Life. A full run supporting Falling In Reverse on the God Is A Weapon tour through arenas and amphitheatres across North America. The band also continued work on their ninth studio album.

"1x1" arrives with that momentum fully intact and nowhere to go but forward as Hollywood Undead head into a festival run that spans two continents, opening with Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach in May, moving through a full European circuit this summer, and closing out stateside with Rocklahoma in September.

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

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

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

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

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

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

THE GEMS on "Happy Water":

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

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

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

Defences Unveil Metamorphosis" Video

Defences are your new favorite alternative metal band.

Known for their eclectic mix of synth-heavy melodies and crushing riffs, fronted by the sultry and androgynous tones of singer Cherry Duesbury, Defences have taken what we've all come to love about metalcore to the next level.

Over 10 years, two EPs, and three LPs, the underlying theme of the necessity for introspection, self-reflection, and finding your inner strength bears strong. It's self-acceptance-core at its finest.

Today, the band, hailing from Hertfordshire, UK, returns, with their new single "Metamorphosis" — a motivational reminder to keep going, a reminder that you get to write your own story, and sometimes that can mean burning everything down to start over. In the wake of the single's release, Defences will tour the UK with Mason Hill, perform at summer festivals in the UK and EU, and support Future Palace on their UK run in November.

Watch the "Metamorphosis" video below. 

Stream the single here.

"'Metamorphosis' is all about transformation, and surrendering to it," comments Defences. "We are evolutionary beings, constantly growing and adapting to the different paths life takes us down, constantly saying goodbye to old versions of ourselves. It can be painful, uncomfortable, and terrifying, even when we know it's meant for us. This song is a motivational reminder to keep going, a reminder that you get to write your own story, and sometimes that can mean burning everything down to start over."

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enter the GOAT KVLT HERE.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ACIDOSIS Tour Dates

3/11 | Milwaukee, WI @ Falcon Hall*
3/12 | Chicago, IL @ Sleeping Village
3/26 | Brooklyn, NY @ Market Hotel
3/27 | Boston, MA @ Haymarket Lounge
4/3 | Miami, FL @ Las Rosas
4/4 | Orlando, FL @ Will’s Pub
4/8 | Los Angeles, CA @ Non Plus Ultra*

* Ben Katzman only

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Born John Wardle, bassist and vocalist Jah Wobble is from East London. An original member of Public Image Ltd (PiL) from 1978-80, he made two seminal albums with the band, including the iconic ‘Metal Box’.

Teen Mortgage Drop "Burn" — WATCH // Touring With Joyce Manor

Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE — guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer Ed Barakauskas — have shared the brand new single "BURN" ahead of their late winter/spring tour with Joyce Manor. 

The lyric video premiered over at Brooklyn Vegan. Watch and listen below.

"BURN" boasts push and pull tension and noisy riffs, and was co-produced by Zac Carper of FIDLAR.

"There was a compelling urgency to record 'Burn,'" says Guile. "It called to us from the ether like the green goblin mask. It's sick to get a break from being on the road to record something that feels like a progression from our first album, Devil Ultrasonic Dream, and in time to throw in the set for our tour supporting Joyce Manor...As far as the lyrics go, I'm just saying what we're all feeling."

Teen Mortgage, who have shared stages with the likes of Weezer and Smashing Pumpkins, are in the middle of a headline tour. Get tickets here. They will hit the road hard in 2026, as they are set to tour with Joyce Manor, Militarie Gun, and Combat next spring.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Watch "BLEED" music video Below:

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

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

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

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

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

Watch the video below. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“With a promise made, a promise kept, we discovered a sound that is unapologetically us fused with all of our inspirations," Thomas says. "This EP has soaked up the blood, sweat and tears of all five members, and we hope you can feel it coursing through your veins when listening. This EP brought many challenges but also many victories, including the opportunity to headline a favorite hometown venue kicking off a headline tour, the release of vinyl for the very first time and our upcoming April tour supporting The Last Ten Seconds Of Life and Traitors."

He finishes, "To celebrate the release of this EP, we share with audiences one final music video for the EPs closing song 'Dust To Dust'.' This is personally my favorite video and single off of the record. It'ss the fastest, heaviest, most intense and definitely the most lyrically real to me."

With punishing unconventional vocals, Asher creates depictions of bodily and psychological horror through lyricism centered around mental health awareness. The rest of the band reflects these themes musically through brutal riffs, tight drum grooves, and a gut-wrenching low end. In 2023, the band released its debut EP Lust in the End, which Idioteq described as "a surreal journey…delving into the darkest corners of the human experience."

Nailed Shut MA have performed in many iconic venues across the northeast as well as 2024 Inkcarceration Festival. Bands they have shared the stage with include All Shall Perish, Peeling Flesh, Power Trip, Kaonashi, End It, Gatecreeper, and many more. Their energetic performances are sure to knock the wind out of you. With much more new music and many more shows planned for the coming months, Nailed Shut MA are here to wreak havoc in 2026 and beyond. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Pre-Order Architects Of A New Weave — NOW!

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

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

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

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

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

Watch the video, featuring Cruella Morgan, below.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

"The surprise guest vocalist and alternate versions really make this the most exciting deluxe edition in the history of our career," declares Ronnie Winter. 

To celebrate the release, the band has also shared the lyric video for "Not Today." Watch and listen below.

The 11 original songs on X's For Eyes found the band revving up their caffeinated pop sensibilities, throwing down the punishing riffola, delivering more electronic and ambient flourishes, and topping all of it off with Winter's high-pitched emoting. Factor in some A-list cameos from Sleeping With Sirens' Kellin Quinn( "Always The King") and Escape The Fate frontman Craig Mabbitt ("Worth It") and the end result is one of the best offerings of the band's career. For this album, Winter was able to reconcile the deep, sometimes nagging thoughts he'd been harboring, post-pandemic. When the proceedings get melancholy or troubling lyrically, the band is ready to propel these songs into pogo-popping dance floors, furious mosh pits or moments of reverent, tribunal phone-waving. It's always been a cathartic listen and now it has been super-sized with four additional songs that are sure to please the RJA faithful!
 
Formed in 2004 in Jacksonville, Florida, the band has accrued Gold and multi-Platinum singles—including their massive 5x Platinum hit single "Face Down" (which has over 176 million views on YouTube), 2x Platinum "Your Guardian Angel"(which has over 37 million views on YouTube) — and 2x Platinum-certified debut album, DON'T YOU FAKE IT, alongside numerous high-ranking radio chart positions and a robust digital history of over 1.5 billion career streams. "The core fanbase has always been there," Winter says. “It's a family band. Why? Because we stick up for people." Sometimes it's hard to believe that THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS began their expedition into the hearts and minds of a generation 20 years ago. Their blazing 2006 single "Face Down" delivered both anthemic choruses and a strident message about domestic abuse, achieving both sales accolades and adoration from crowds all over the planet.

THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS will be touring through Spring, with a run of dates in their native Florida and a brief stint in South America. They will also appear in the Philippines and at Sonic Temple in May. All forthcoming dates are below.

Diamante Releases New Track and Official Video "Bite of the Beast" via Sumerian Records

Charismatic chanteuse Diamante has today released her new single "Bite of the Beast", a cinematic rock anthem about the addictive yet self-destructive embrace of romantic obsession, and the accompanying official video (via Sumerian Records). When asked about the inspiration behind the song, Diamante shared:

“‘Bite of the Beast’ was inspired by the dark romance novels I’ve been reading and the song is set in a twisted fairytale world. It’s about a kind of all-consuming infatuation that changes you forever — the kind where, once it’s over, nothing else can ever compare. I wanted the song to feel visceral and dangerous, like falling under a spell you know will ruin you. It’s the kind of heartbreak that you don't want cured.”

After being featured as a Stowaway earlier this year on ShipRocked 2026, fans now have the chance to see her electric energy live on the SPIN THE WHEEL US TOUR alongside labelmates I See Stars and special guests Mothica and Until I Wake. Diamante will also be performing at the recently announced Louder Than Life 2026 festival on Saturday, September 19 (ticket information here).

RYAN AND RORY LEAN INTO LAST-CALL HONKY-TONK CHAOS WITH “WASN’T THINKIN’” – OUT NOW

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s Ryan and Rory turn up the neon-soaked mischief with their new track “Wasn’t Thinkin’,” available everywhere now. Listen Below.

Produced by Kevin Bard and written by Joey Hyde, Ryan Follesé, and Emma-Lee, “Wasn’t Thinkin’” is a high-energy honky-tonk rocker built for last call and the stories that come with it. Driven by cranked-up guitars, a boot-stomping groove, and a head-bobbing rhythm that feels tailor-made for crowded dance floors and late-night singalongs, the track that they premiered earlier this week when they returned to the Grand Ole Opry captures the reckless fun of a night where good decisions take a back seat to good times.

“Yep, the song is about ‘one of those nights,’” says Ryan Follesé. “‘Wasn’t Thinkin’’ is exactly the point. Sometimes, you don’t need to overthink a good time. Just roll with it!”

“Even in the fog of a morning-after hangover,” adds Rory John Zak. “Once you piece together what happened the night before, this song makes you want to run it back again in real life as soon as possible.”

Packed with vivid snapshots of karaoke bars, double pours, and questionable rides home, the track leans into the duo’s signature mix of humor, relatability, and rowdy charm, turning small regrets into big memories and reminding listeners that sometimes the best nights are the ones you never planned. 

With music that is connecting with audiences globally, the duo will make their C2C debut with a three-show run in London starting on March 14. More information and tickets are available HERE. 

Following a string of fan-favorite releases that showcase both their heart and their high-energy live spirit, Ryan and Rory continue to build momentum with a sound that blends modern country polish with throwback honky-tonk attitude. With “Wasn’t Thinkin’,” the SiriusXM Highway Find duo deliver another crowd-ready anthem built for neon lights, raised glasses, and stories worth laughing about the next morning.

HUNTERGIRL SERVES UP A NO-NONSENSE ANTHEM WITH “COME AND GET YOUR BOY” — OUT NOW

With “Come and Get Your Boy,” out today via 19 Recordings/BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, HunterGirl leans into her sharpest instincts yet, delivering a mid-tempo, barroom-ready anthem built on truth-telling, solidarity, and a little well-earned side-eye. Written by HunterGirl alongside Brock Berryhill, Jessie Jo Dillon, Jesse Frasure, Jaxson Free, and Taylor Phillips, and produced by Trent Willmon, the track plays like a knowing nod across the room between two women who’ve seen this story before. Listen Below. Fans can catch a premiere performance of the new release when HunterGirl makes her return to the Grand Ole Opry tonight, tickets are available HERE. 

Driven by a steady groove and a hook that lands like a warning bell, “Come and Get Your Boy” unfolds with the kind of sly confidence that only comes from hard-won experience. HunterGirl’s vocal carries equal parts grit and charm, turning the chorus into both a call-out and a call-in, where honesty hits harder than any heartbreak and the truth is poured straight, no chaser.

“I performed for years on Broadway in downtown Nashville and I have seen firsthand this story behind ‘Come and Get Your Boy’ play out in real life. This was such a fun song to write. As women, we all need to look out for one another, and most of the women I know have some fierce private detective skills. We have all witnessed that guy with the red flag waving,” says HunterGirl.

“Come and Get Your Boy” follows “Somewhere Wild,” which opened HunterGirl’s 2026 with a windswept, introspective turn, and continues a steady run of releases that showcase the full range of her voice as a storyteller. With nearly 80 million global streams, a Grand Ole Opry debut to a standing ovation, and praise from outlets like People, CMT, and MusicRow, who called her “a major, major new talent,” she continues to build momentum on her own terms. After touring with Luke Bryan and Kimberly Perry, HunterGirl steps into this next chapter with a song that proves honesty, humor, and heart can still own the room.

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

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

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

Watch the Official Music Video for "Dig Down"(feat. Van Canto) Below:

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

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

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

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

ANGUS McSIX are:
Adam McSix (Samuel Nyman) – Vocals
The Dwarf (Jasmin Pabst) – Guitars
Thalestris (Thalia Bellazecca) – Guitars
Archdemon Seebulon (Sebastian "Seeb" Levermann / Rafael Dobbs Roa) – Guitars
Ork Zero (Gerit Lamm) – Drums
