ROB ZOMBIE DELIVERS GRITTY VIDEO FOR 'THE BLACK SCORPION'

Rock and metal icon ROB ZOMBIE has unveiled the music video for his latest single, “The Black Scorpion,” taken from his acclaimed new album, The Great Satan. Bathed in eerie green light, Zombie and his crew rip through the blistering punk-metal track, which clocks in at under two minutes.

“The Black Scorpion,” along with recent standouts “F.T.W. 84,” “(I’m a) Rock ’N’ Roller,” “Heathen Days,” and “Punks And Demons,” marks ROB ZOMBIE’s return to the forefront of heavy music, further solidifying his already legendary status.

Across more than four decades, Zombie has cemented himself as a singular cultural force. Fusing avant-garde aesthetics with monstrous, groove-driven rock, his work has consistently defied convention. With The Great Satan, Zombie extends that legacy, delivering one of the boldest and most fully realized records of his career.

XCOMM Announce Debut Album 'Time To Burn' Out May 22 via Blowed Out Records; Drop New Single "Borrowed Happiness"

Venice Beach hardcore unit XCOMM announce their debut album Time To Burn, due Friday, May 22 via Blowed Out Records, and share new single and music video "Borrowed Happiness" today. Watch Below. Stream HERE.

Produced by Ross Robinson (Korn, The Cure, Slipknot, Glassjaw, At The Drive In), Time To Burn is the full statement that previous singles - "Reasons," "Fake ID," and "Hot Pursuit / One And Nothing" have been pointing toward since XCOMM first broke cover in September 2025. In the months since, "Fake ID" surpassed 2.5 million views, the band opened for the Foo Fighters at a sold-out Kia Forum charity show, they earned a spot on the prestigious NME 100 of 2026, and built a following of nearly 80,000 Instagram followers in a matter of weeks.

.

Speaking on the making of Time To Burn, drummer Revel Ian shares:

"Ross Robinson transformed us into musical weapons that will blow your head off when you play our record."

Frontman Michael Gatto adds:

"I'll forever be grateful for having the opportunity to record this album, the whole process from tracking to mixing was truly incredible. Borrowed Happiness is one of my favorite tracks on the record, shooting the music videos with Darren and all the dudes in the van was super cool and I love when we play this one live."

Producer Ross Robinson says:

“Nothing brings me more satisfaction as a producer than sharing that undeniable life force of untainted expression…XCOMM, being the youngest band I’ve ever worked with, I had to nickname the studio sessions as “daycare.” It was so fun and alive throughout the whole process. Made me realize on another level how important the pulse of youth truly is.”

The release arrives with XCOMM's live presence already in full swing. Fresh off opening for the Foo Fighters at a sold-out Kia Forum charity show in January and an appearance at the 3rd Anniversary Parking Lot Show at The Punk Rock Museum in Las Vegas alongside Spike and the Gimme Gimmes, Kate Clover, The Whops, and River Ratts, the band head to Pacific Electric in Los Angeles on April 11th for California Chaos Festival alongside Militarie Gun, Stateside, Grave Secrets, Blossom, Jawdropped and Star 99, before joining Warped Tour 2026 in Washington D.C. on June 13th and 14th and Long Beach, CA on July 25th and 26th.

NEW WAVE ICON HOWARD JONES CURATES FEEL-GOOD 80S EVENT OF SUMMER: “THINGS CAN ONLY GET BETTER” NORTH AMERICAN TOUR CONFIRMED

New wave icon Howard Jones is very proud to announce the “Things Can Only Get Better” North American tour for summer, 2026. The feel-good 80s event of the summer features a bill curated and headlined by Jones himself with support from fellow British 80s greats Wang Chung, The English Beat and Modern English and will be hosted by SiriusXM’s Richard Blade. All four artists will perform full sets. Fans can expect to hear the biggest hits from the decade including “Things Can Only Get Better,” “What Is Love, “No One Is To Blame,” “Dance Hall Days,” “Everybody Have Fun Tonight,” “Save It For Later,” “I Confess” and “I Melt With You”. Please see below for tour dates; more tour dates will be announced shortly. Click here to purchase tickets.  

In other imminent Howard Jones news, he will be appearing on SiriusXM’s First Wave Hollywood Happy Hour with Richard Blade on Friday, April 10th. The segment will feature both a live interview and performance in front of a studio audience. Tune in to First Wave (channel 33) on SiriusXM at 4:00PM, PST/7:00PM, EST that day to listen.

Of the upcoming tour, Howard Jones commented, “I dreamed of curating a tour with my favourite bands that could bring some positivity in our troubled times. I’m thrilled that this is actually happening this summer with the Things Can Only Get Better Tour. Joining me are my friends Wang Chung, The English Beat, Modern English, and Richard Blade. I’m so excited to be touring with these amazing talents. Our aim is to bring some joy with the banging pop anthems that we all know and love. “Things Can Only Get Better” is a message of hope for a future that we can create, when we stand up for the world we want to live in. Can’t wait to see you this summer!

Wang Chung’s Jack Hues and Nick Feldman stated, “We are very excited to be joining Howard on this tour. We have known each other since the 80s but have never toured extensively together before. We have worked with Dave Wakeling and the English Beat and Modern English more recently. They are all great guys and exciting bands - 4 British bands bringing their hits and that unique 80s energy to your hometown - don’t miss it!"

Modern English’s Robbie Grey added, “Will be great touring with old friends again. Every night will be a top night. We will play songs from our latest album 1234 and of course the classic early material and that song “I Melt With You”.

Electronic music pioneer Howard Jones has been a constant presence on the international touring scene for the past four decades, playing live in several different configurations including intimate solo shows and dates with his full high-tech band set-up. He first burst upon the contemporary music scene in 1983, with his very English songwriting and pioneering synthesizers with “New Song”. His first two albums HUMAN’S LIB and DREAM INTO ACTION were worldwide hits. HUMAN’S LIB reached #1 in 1984 in the UK and featured the hits “New Song,” and “What Is Love?” In 1985, Jones released the follow-up, DREAM INTO ACTION, which quickly became a Top Ten Platinum album in the United States and featured the smashes: “Things Can Only Get Better,” “Life In One Day,” “No One Is To Blame,” and “Like To Get To Know You Well.”  

Howard Jones has sold upwards of 10 million albums worldwide and continues to make new music and tour the world. Jones has performed on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! As well as NBC’s top-rated morning and nighttime shows respectively, Today and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. His ubiquitous hits can be heard in such high-profile television series and films such as “Stranger Things,” “Breaking Bad,” “Watchmen,” “The Carrie Diaries”, “Superstore” and “Bumblebee.”

Wang Chung came out of the post-punk, New Wave scene in the UK, going on to achieve global success, selling millions of records. Throughout their 40 plus year career they have released 7 albums and 3 Greatest Hits compilations. They have had 6 US Top 40 hits including a number 1 and other international smash hits including 'Dance Hall Days' and “Everybody Have Fun Tonight.” They achieved cult status with their soundtrack for legendary director William Friedkin’s movie “To Live and Die in LA,” as well as their original song contribution to John Hughes’ legendary movie, “The Breakfast Club.” More recently Wang Chung’s music has been featured in TV shows “The Walking Dead,” “Breaking Bad,” “South Park,” “This is Us,” and “Righteous Gemstones” amongst many others.

The English Beat is a band with an energetic mix of musical styles and a sound like no other. The band's unique sound has allowed it to endure for nearly four decades and appeal to fans, young and old, all over the world. The English Beat (known as The Beat in their native England) first came to prominence as founding members of the British Two-Tone Ska movement, with their classic first album “Just Can't Stop It” fitting squarely in that genre.

Band leader Dave Wakeling never felt constrained by the movement. The band crossed over fluidly between soul, reggae, pop and punk, and from these disparate pieces they created an infectious dance rhythm. The band's sound continued to evolve over their three studio albums, through the General Public era (a band formed by Dave with The Beat’s toaster, Ranking Roger), and it has continued its evolution with their 2016 release, “Here We Go Love”, a PledgeMusic crowd-funded album, the band's first new album since 1982's “Special Beat Service”. Consummate showman that he is, Dave Wakeling continues to keep The Beat alive and strong, touring the world as The English Beat with an amazing all-star ska backing band playing all the hits of The Beat and General Public.

Modern English, formed in Colchester, England, remain one of the defining bands of the post-punk era, with their original core lineup of Robbie Grey (vocals) and Michael Conroy (bass), intact since 1977. Widely regarded as innovators of the genre, the band is best known for their iconic hit “I Melt With You” which became a defining song of the ’80s and continues to resonate with new generations of listeners. MTV era songs like "Hands Across The Sea" and "Someone's Calling" still thrill audiences. Modern English continue to bring both their enduring catalog and renewed creative energy to audiences worldwide. Their most recent album, 2024’s 1234, remained in the Top 20 at college radio for six months.

Richard Blade is one of the most popular and best-known DJs in America, hosting a daily radio show on both SiriusXM 1st Wave Ch. 33 and middays on KCBS, Jack FM. In the 1980s, he was the top-rated morning drive DJ on KROQ, Los Angeles, and hosted and directed numerous TV shows and series including Video One, MV3 and VideoBeat. In 1991 he created Richard Blade’s Flashback Lunch which aired daily at noon and was copied by many stations across North America. It also spawned a series of six CDs on Sony Music, Richard Blade’s Flashback Favorites. He has won numerous awards, including, most recently, a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Richard is the best-selling author of World In My Eyes, his autobiography, and five novels: SPQR, Birthright, Imposters, Ghosts of the Congo, and Slapton Sands, all of which made #1 on Amazon’s best-seller lists. He also has two non-fiction music books, The Lockdown Interviews and The Unlocked Interviews, which feature Howard Jones. An expanded version of World In My Eyes was released in 2024.

Bodysnatcher Release New Single "Plague Of Flies" And Official Music Video via MNRK Heavy

South Florida deathcore mainstays Bodysnatcher have unleashed their latest rager "Plague Of Flies" and the official video (via MNRK Heavy). The track is taken from their soon-to-be-released new album 'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home', out this Friday, April 10. 'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home' will be the band's fourth full-length and newest body of work since 2024's 'Vile Conduct', and promises to be their most furious and bloodthirsty work yet. Leading up to today, the quartet has released "Blade Between The Teeth", "The Maker", and most recently, "Violent Obsession". Speaking about "Plague Of Flies", guitarist Kyle Carter commented:

"To me, "Plague of Flies" is about giving in to the negativity and pain that the world brings, and becoming numb to the point where you welcome it and even add to it. This is one of the more exaggerated topics of the album. I don’t live in this headspace constantly, but there are times when I just want to say “fuck it, everyone else is an asshole, so I should be too.”  

'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home' is available now for pre-order at the link here. Watch the "Plague Of Flies" official video below, and stream the track here.

After having wrapped up their first UK/EU headliner, Bodysnatcher will next embark on the Chaos & Carnage 2026 tour across the US starting in May alongside Thy Art Is Murder, Carnifex, 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell and Bodybox.

Lord Of The Lost Release New Single + Final Video "The Days Of Our Live" | Album Trilogy Finale "OPVS NOIR Vol. 3" Out 4/10

LORD OF THE LOST show their emotional side and present the final video of the OPVS NOIR trilogy with the music video for their single "The Days Of Our Lives," unveiled today. With the release of OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 this Friday, April 10, the band concludes the album trilogy that began in the summer of 2025. "The Days Of Our Lives" is a soulful and seemingly hopeless ballad, situated somewhere between a soundtrack and cold electronica, and, as the closing track, serves as the curtain call for the entire work.
 
With nearly half a million listeners on Spotify, their appearance at the Eurovision final in 2023, followed by a number-one album and international tours with Iron Maiden, LORD OF THE LOST are proving themselves to be one of the most exciting and successful acts on the scene right now. OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 represents the creative peak of a band whose repertoire leaves no room for stagnation. The year started with shows in the USA, Canada, and Australia, and now continues with a headline run across Europe. All tour dates are noted below.

Watch the official music video for "The Days Of Our Lives" Below:

The most out-of-the-box of the full album trilogy, OPVS NOIR Vol. 3, the third and final chapter of LORD OF THE LOST's latest journey, sees the six-piece close this era on a fulminant high note, intertwining heavy guitars and dark electronica with compassionate messages and cinematic orchestrations. It continues to push the band’s unpredictable path without settling for the familiar. Rounding off this impressive work, the album takes listeners by the hand and guides them through their darkest paths.

Get your copy of OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 NOW — first formats are already sold out!

Following the captivating BLOOD & GLITTER, which brought them to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and a #1 chart entry in their native Germany to go along with it, LORD OF THE LOST once again demonstrate their unmatched diversity on OPVS NOIR Vol. 3. Initiated by beautiful cello melodies, "Kill The Lights" is an overture like no other, setting a dark mood, but also unafraid to switch it up to make room for catchy and reassuring "I'm A Diamond." Stomping "I Hate People" invites horror punk icon WEDNESDAY 13 to an industrial duet about equality, after which gentle "The Shadows Within" hits twice as hard with its symphonic arrangement.

Next, Chris Harms and parting KISSIN’ DYNAMITE frontman Hannes Braun deliver "La Vie Est Hell," before going back to "Square One." "When Did The Love Break?" is a heartfelt song of lost love – the addition of whimsical vocals by Ambre Vourvahis of XANDRIA drives the emotions of this universal topic right home. After "Your Love Is Colder Than Death," LORD OF THE LOST team up with Damien Edwards of British glam rock band CATS IN SPACE for the captivating duet "Take Me Far Away", before the album closes with a ballad, "The Days Of Our Lives" – the sweeping track simultaneously being the closest LORD OF THE LOST have ever been to a cinematic soundtrack. The happy ending is skipped, almost making it sound like a goodbye…
 
OPVS NOIR Vol. 3: the trilogy is finally concluded.

LORD OF THE LOST ARE:
Chris Harms – Gesang, Gitarre
Pi Stoffers – Gitarre
Benjamin "Benji" Mundigler – Gitarre, Synths
Klaas Helmecke – Bass
Gerrit Heinemann – Piano, Synths, Percussion
Niklas Kahl – Schlagzeug

SALIVA Release New Single "COPE" feat. Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch via Judge & Jury ​

A Rock Anthem Rooted in Resilience and Redemption, “Cope” Delivers a Message of Hope for Those Struggling Through Life’s Darkest Moments

Saliva have returned with their new single “Cope,” featuring Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, available now via Judge & Jury Records. 

“Cope” is a rock song that illustrates a vision of hope to people in a dark place. The track blends the crisp rap cadence of Bobby Amaru with the soaring vocals of Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch. The song was produced by Cameron Pierce Mizell (Machine Gun Kelly, Sleeping with Sirens) and Luke Fiadino (Locked Shut, Dixon Dallas, Jackson Rose). 

Resurfacing the sonic aesthetic of Saliva’s #1 Modern Rock hit “Always,” and #2 Mainstream Rock hit “Your Disease", “Cope” was inspired by a mutual passion shared by both Bobby and Trevor to help people afflicted by addiction and personal demons.

Bobby Amaru, frontman of Saliva says, “Cope is about the quiet battles young people fight while trying to figure out who they are in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. It’s for every kid who feels too much, thinks too hard, and is just trying to make it through the noise. Having Trevor McNevan on this track was a blast and I feel that he really brought the song home.”

Trevor McNevan adds, “Cope is about losing control—and realizing you were never meant to have control in the first place. The song really illustrates the feeling of hitting the bottom and realizing the only way up is to surrender.”

“COPE” feat. Trevor McNevan is available now on all major streaming platforms!

Their major-label debut Every Six Seconds (2001) went double-platinum, followed by Back Into Your System (2002), which produced hits including “Always,” “Raise Up,” and “Rest In Pieces.” 

Since 2011, frontman Bobby Amaru has led the band through a new era with releases including Rise Up (2013), Love, Lies & Therapy (2016), 10 Lives (2018), Every Twenty Years EP (2021), and Revelation (2023). In 2023, the band suffered the devastating loss of founding guitarist Wayne Swinny, whose legacy continues to shape their music and live shows. Reflecting on his passing, Amaru shared, “This band meant more to Wayne than music itself, and he wanted us to continue in its current form.” 

Most recently, Saliva released Revelation: Retold (2025) via Judge & Jury Records, a deluxe reimagining of their 2023 album featuring guest vocals, unreleased tracks, and new takes on fan favorites, reinforcing the band’s resilience and continued evolution.

It’s no surprise to hear that they’re inspired by emo pop originators like Jimmy Eat World, Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance, with the duo’s flair for the dramatic and knack for an earworm melody resulting in an album filled to the rafters with anthems. These are songs you can imagine ringing out from the biggest of stages and being sung back at the band by rapt audiences the world over. Envelop yourself in GREYWIND’s ‘Severed Heart City.’

Norwegian Black Metal Titans DIMMU BORGIR, SATYRICON + ENSLAVED Unite for Historic Halloween Arena Show

On October 31, black metal history will be written in Oslo (NO). For one night only, three of Norway’s most influential and globally revered bands – Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon and Enslaved – will unite at Oslo Spektrum for a landmark event set to become the biggest black metal show ever staged on Norwegian soil. Tickets go on sale this Friday, April 10, 10:00 CEST at THIS LOCATION.

Few genres have had the global cultural impact of Norwegian black metal – and today, its dominance is undeniable. From headlining Europe’s premier festivals to selling out venues worldwide, Norwegian acts continue to define and push the genre forward. UNHOLY HALLOWEEN brings together three of its most pioneering forces for an exclusive, once-in-a-generation celebration of the scene’s past, present and future.

Each band arrives at this moment at the height of its powers. Dimmu Borgir recently headlined Tons of Rock, Satyricon has sold out the Oslo Opera House and delivered a critically acclaimed commission for the Munch Museum, while Enslaved continues to redefine the genre – earning multiple Norwegian Grammy Awards for their groundbreaking work.

For Dimmu Borgir, the night also marks a long-awaited homecoming. It has been 15 years since their last headline show in Oslo – a landmark performance with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra at the very same venue.

“We’re releasing our new album 'Grand Serpent Rising' this spring, followed by extensive touring across Europe and other markets. By the time we return to Norway, we’ll be ready to deliver something truly massive. Since it’s been so long since our last headline show at home, we’re going all in. This will be the biggest Dimmu Borgir production to date,” says DIMMU BORGIR vocalist Shagrath.

“It’s been over 20 years since I first explored the idea of bringing together some of the giants of Norwegian black metal on the biggest stages in Europe. We never made it happen back then. Now, two decades later, it’s finally becoming a reality – and on a scale beyond anything we imagined. This will be our Super Bowl,” says SATYRICON's Sigurd Wongraven.

“We are very excited about being invited to be part of this massive endeavour; which will celebrate the leading edge of Norwegian Metal on the appropriate scale! We will bring our best game as always… and then some!" comments ENSLAVED's Ivar Bjørnson.

DIMMU BORGIR guitarist Silenoz (Sven Atle Kopperud) emphasizes the broader significance of the event:

“This is more than a concert – it’s a statement. A celebration of a culture we’ve helped build over decades. Sharing the stage at Oslo Spektrum with bands that have been part of that same journey feels both powerful and necessary.”

DIMMU BORGIR will be releasing its new full-length, 'Grand Serpent Rising,' on May 22 via Nuclear Blast Records. The band has recently commemorated the upcoming opus with an official music video for the first single, "Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel," which can be found Below.

In addition, DIMMU BORGIR will be co-headlining the "In League with Satan" tour with BEHEMOTH in October 2026 with support from DARK FUNERAL. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are available HERE.

Paul Cauthen Brings "Texas Swagger" to "The Kelly Clarkson Show"

To celebrate the release of his latest album Book of Paul, available now via Velvet Rose Records/Thirty Tigers, country iconoclast Paul Cauthen performed “Texas Swagger” on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on Friday, April 3. Watch his performance Below and listen to Book of Paul HERE.
 
With Book of Paul, Cauthen continues both his streak of against-the-grain attitude, and his genuine fascination with spiritual truth. But at this point in his career, he’s less interested in the wild-eyed abandon of revival, and more in his own path. A path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud, and with two middle fingers in the air. “I wanted to take it back to my roots and where it all began in East Texas,” he says.
 
And “Texas Swagger,” with its bronc-bucking beat, dark twang and barely contained sense of danger, serves as a mission statement:
 
“If all else fails, just remember where you came from,” Cauthen proclaims, noting he co-wrote the track with Rob Ragosta and Sam Martinez, who also produced. “We got it hot and cooking, put a little drumbeat on it, built that son of a bitch in 30 minutes. I was like ‘Alright, last time I felt like this was ‘Cocaine Country Dancing.’ It’s got a really fierce feel to it. It’s danceable as shit.”
 
With his nearly sold-out Tonkin’ ‘N Tejas Tour, Cauthen has added stops at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Sept. 11 and Denver’s The Mission Ballroom on Oct. 9. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit paulcauthenmusic.com.

Paul Cauthen Tour Dates:
April 18  |  Kalispell, MT  | Majestic Valley Arena
July 11 | Saint Paul, MN | Minnesota Country Club Festival
July 16  |  Jackson, WY  |  Snow King Mountain
Sept. 11  |  Nashville, TN  |  Ryman Auditorium
Sept. 19 | Pryor, OK | Born & Raised Festival
Oct. 9  |  Denver, CO  |  The Mission Ballroom
 
About Paul Cauthen
Whether he knows it or not, every man lives by a code. And for country provocateur Paul Cauthen, that code is simple. Always bet on yourself. A singer-songwriter with a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the East Texas native spent two decades clawing his way through the country underground, embodying the independent spirit with a monolithic Big Velvet vocal. Fusing classic-country grit, gospel power and a rhinestoned rock edge, four previous albums proclaimed his singular style with a booming baritone and near-biblical swagger. Taught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen Texas attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. Cauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks and Lana Del Rey. With favorites like “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “Fuck You Money” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey on “Last Of My Kind,” he counts over 442 million global streams. Cauthen’s fifth album, Book of Paul, takes him further down his path of utterly authentic country music; fearless, proud and with two middle fingers in the air. Co-writing 12 of 13 tracks, the troubadour confesses to his wild side and wrestles with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise. For more information, visit paulcauthenmusic.com.

Limberlost Release New Single "Babylon (Redux)" New EP Villian Due Out Later This Year!

Limberlost returns with “Babylon (Redux)”, a powerful reimagining of their 2017 track "Babylon," rebuilt with the band’s current lineup and evolved modern rock sound. The new version captures everything Limberlost has become—bigger guitars, cinematic energy, and emotionally charged vocals, while revisiting a song that feels more relevant now than ever.

“Babylon (Redux)” dives straight into the chaos of today’s social climate, touching on division, media noise, shifting truths, and the tension that defines modern life. Driven by powerful hooks, dynamic instrumentation, and the band’s signature blend of alternative rock and hard rock intensity, the track transforms the original concept into something darker, heavier, and more urgent.

With “Babylon (Redux),” Limberlost proves that some songs aren’t finished, they simply wait for the right moment to rise again.

Backed by their acclaimed new album Beautiful Scars, three SMR Top 50 singles, and 2 award winning videos with over a million views each, Limberlost proves once again that their fire only burns hotter with time.

Mimi Barks Drops "Dreamstate of Hell" Video — WATCH // Touring The U.S. This Spring

Mimi Barks returns with her brand new single and video, "Dreamstate Of Hell," a dark and emotionally charged statement that opens the next chapter of her DOOM TRAP world. Rooted in the collision of metal, industrial energy, and trap, the track feels raw, urgent, and deeply personal, pushing further into the tension, grit, and truth that have come to define her sound. Co-written and produced by Ruben Cardenas of SMLE, and mixed once again by Owen Claxton, who also mixed Mimi's album This Is Doom Trap and has worked with Bring Me The Horizon and MOSKITO, "Dreamstate Of Hell" arrives with a striking new video directed, produced and filmed by Death Tour singer Demi Yo'Ko and Mimi Barks in her new neighborhood of Downtown Los Angeles.

With its late-night, surreal visuals and a constant sense of motion, fire, and collapse, the video mirrors the unrest at the heart of the song and marks the beginning of Mimi's darkest and most focused era yet.

Listen to "DREAMSTATE OF HELL." Watch the video below.

"Sometimes it feels like the world is slipping into a dreamstate of hell and most people do not even realize they are asleep inside it," Barks says. "Everywhere I look, I see noise, decay, violence, distraction, and now war becoming part of the daily landscape again."
 
She continues, "But to me, heaven and hell are not places waiting for us when we die. They're states of consciousness we create every day while we are here in the flesh. The real question is what you choose to feed: the poison or the light."

She finishes, "'Dreamstate Of Hell' was the first song I wrote after moving to Los Angeles, and it became the starting point for everything that followed. It is also the first single from my upcoming EP, Dreamstate of Fear."
 
From the underground scenes of Berlin and London to major stages across the UK and Europe, Mimi Barks has built a sound and identity entirely her own. Her brand new EP will be released in Summer 2026 on her own label imprint — DEATHKISS Records. Later this year, Mimi will make her U.S. touring debut on a 26-date run with Little Miss Nasty and GG Magree. She will then head back to Europe for dates with Wargasm, before wrapping up that run with her own UK tour in September.

Mimi Barks is touring the U.S. this spring as part of the DEADDOLLZ TOUR 2026 with Little Miss Nasty and GG Margie. The tour kicks off on April 8 in Salt Lake City and runs through May 10 in San Diego. Get tickets here.

It marks her first time crashing domestic shores.

"This tour announcement feels surreal," the artist states. "My debut appearance in the U.S. has been a long time coming. The flock has been asking for this moment for a minute, and I've been manifesting it long before that. Joining Little Miss Nasty on the DeadDollz Tour 2026 alongside GG Magree is proof that when you stay focused and trust the process, things unfold in their own divine timing."

The Barbarians of California Serve Up "Vanilla Latte" Video

The Barbarians Of California, featuring Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION and Eric Stenman of Tinfed and a noted producer, remain equal opportunity iconoclasts, gleefully thrashing the left and the right in the hardcore-punk tradition of nonconformity and raw fury. VICE summed up the band simply and effectively, saying: "They're so f**king good." #Facts

TBOC's raucous and DGAF spirit is evident in their explosive new single "Vanilla Latte." Watch the frenetic video, featuring ships and Shaq, and marked by the band's trademark, never-take-yourself-too-seriously sense of humor, below. 

"For 'Vanilla Latte,' we dip back into our thrashy side with the usual dose of sarcasm and irreverence," shares Stenman. "The music video for this one has to be my favorite yet. It was shot entirely during our time on the ShipRocked cruise... so much fun!"

Earlier this year, TBOC shared the roaring new single "Bomb To A Knife Fight." Watch the video here.
The band will also embark on several dates supporting Poison the Well and Converge in May, as well as booking two opening dates for Guns N' Roses later this summer.

Paul Cauthen Delivers Unfiltered 13-Track Album BOOK OF PAUL

With four albums and 442 million streams to-date, country iconoclast Paul Cauthen propels into a new chapter with Book of Paul, out now on Velvet Rose Records/Thirty Tigers. Fusing classic country grit, gospel power and a rhinestone rock-and-roll edge, Cauthen delivers 13 tracks filled with a booming baritone and personal truth. 
 
Listen to Cauthen’s Book of Paul Below.

With a well-documented distaste for playing by anyone else’s rules, the singer-songwriter known as “Big Velvet” returns to his East Texas roots, writing his own creative code in permanent ink with Book of Paul.
 
“It’s just being who you are – unapologetically yourself – and that’s every one of my records,” Cauthen says. “Does it dance? Does it make you cry? Does it make you feel? As far as I’m concerned I’ve made it already. I can already do whatever I want musically. And when you get to this point you look back. I have built my whole career going against the grain, and that’s what this record is. The freaking trials and tribulations of Paul. It’s everything I wanted on an album.” 
 
Tapping the strengths of longtime family friend and chart-topping co-writer Ryan Tyndell, Steve Rusch (Jessie Murph, Koe Wetzel), Sam Martinez (Tyler Braden, Carrie Underwood), Fustin (Priscilla Block) plus Nate Ferraro (Beyoncé) for production, they captured Cauthen’s unruly essence with all the charm of a rattlesnake (and the vocal venom to match). 
 
Cauthen co-write 12 of the 13 tracks while also playing bass and drums on select tracks, making sure each song had the twisted backbone he craved. “It’s a nitty gritty, swampy, East-Texas-muddy-roots kind of feel,” Cauthen says with pride. “My claws are deep in it.”
 
Cauthen wastes no time getting to his point. Led by his burly, vibrato-laden baritone, “Book of Paul” opens the album on a minimalist mix of acoustic guitar and snare, as the troubadour confesses to his wild side, while wrestling with the sin. He spares no detail – and makes no compromise. 
 
“If you look at the Bible, there is no book of Paul,” he explains. “I just wanted to write something that embodies me, because I’m sick of hearing records catered to what’s hot and what’s working. Me, I’ve always been this country boy, East Texas guy. Roots, rock and roll, Texas gospel. If you look back at all my albums, I’m proud to say I meant everything I’ve said.” 

Tracks like “Texas Swagger,” which Cauthen will perform on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” today (check local listings HERE), serve as a mission statement, with its bronc-bucking beat, dark twang, and barely contained sense of danger. Cauthen started off with a frenetic guitar riff and some eerie “yee haw” background vocals, then added a strong dose of Big Velvet attitude.
 
Meanwhile, Cauthen puts his code to the test on “Dark Horse,” a cosmic-Western ballad fueled by epiphany he calls “a long ride on the back of a mule on a bunch of mushrooms.” The lonesome “Road Dog” recalls the bleak resignation of Johnny Cash’s “Hurt,” with coyote yips and an acoustic-industrial vibe. And with the warm, relaxing shimmer of ‘70s rock, “Cigarettes & Billy Graham” burns with an easy self acceptance – an anthem for those preachers of the open road. 
 
Elsewhere, Cauthen enters a kind of voluntary lockup with the hypnotic, outlaw-country romance of “Ain’t No Crime,” and taps a “Chattahoochee” groove for the hazy, summertime twang of “Tossin’ Back Time” (feat. Jake Worthington). 
 
Soul pop and gospel twang reach a slow-rolling confluence on the East Texas love story “Bayou By You,” and Cauthen teams with Delaney Ramsdell for the aching barstool ballad, “Chain Smoking.” “Breakaway” saunters into the sunset with a supremely casual indie-roots strut. And a colorful, character-driven country throwback unfolds on “Blue Denim & Black Gold” (the album’s only outside cut, written by Tyndell and Jeff Hyde). 
 
Meanwhile, “Texas Gravel Road” unleashes every weapon in Cauthen’s creative arsenal. Built off a slowed-down latin beat, it’s a bellowing tribute to the blood, sweat and tears behind the star’s pockmarked path – a grungy gutter rocker draped in distorted dark twang. And with the album ending on “The Voice Inside (Silence),” Cauthen enters a state of acoustic prayer. With that velvet vocal at its most raw, an anguished internal battle between dark and light unfolds. … Yet those voices may be something else entirely. Knowing them is the key to Cauthen’s code, and the driving force behind his country music. 
 
“That’s what God is. That’s the spirit. That’s you. The un-talked about. That’s the good shit,” he explains. “This record is the Book of Paul, but I would say everybody needs their own book, and the chapters in life create that. What I mean is, bet on your own. Everybody pointing fingers at you because you’re the black sheep, or because you have this trait or that, that’s what actually makes you different. So bet on that.” 
 
Cauthen was taught to sing by his grandfather in a Church of Christ, and Cauthen hit the scene with the duo Sons of Fathers in 2009, before My Gospel, Room 41, Country Coming Down and Black on Black unveiled a vulnerable, fire-and-brimstone songwriter with brazen attitude – craving deliverance, yet possessed by a “bird dog” instinct for theatrical rapture. Cauthen has toured the world, collaborating with Margo Price, Orville Peck, Cody Jinks and Lana Del Rey. Fan favorites include “Cocaine Country Dancing,” “Fuck You Money” and his GOLD-certified collab with Shaboozey,“Last Of My Kind.” 
 
With his nearly sold-out Tonkin’ ‘N Tejas Tour, Cauthen continues to hit the Texas touring scene while adding stops at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on Sept. 11 and Denver’s The Mission Ballroom on Oct. 9. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit paulcauthenmusic.com.

ARCHSPIRE, the world's fastest band, proudly release their ferocious new single, "The Vessel," taken from the upcoming album 'TOO FAST TO DIE,' set for release on April 10th. The new track arrives alongside an official music video showcasing the dangers of AI in music production.

Watch the Music Video for "The Vessel" Below:

Since 2009, ARCHSPIRE has aimed to be one thing above all else: extreme. With their upcoming release, ‘TOO FAST TO DIE,’ they’ve once again raised the bar for what extreme music can be.

“We’re like a bit of meth in your cigarette,” says vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron, describing the band’s unhinged live show. “I think people don’t quite know how to describe what they’re hearing.”

In 2025, ARCHSPIRE announced their new drummer, Spencer Moore, marking a shift in the band’s trajectory. New blood brings new influences, and with the first single “Carrion Ladder,”they intended to show exactly how quickly he proved himself.

“I had to step my game up fast to pull off the new material,” Spencer explains. “But once we started tracking, everything felt comfortable and natural.”

Recorded in 2025, the album reunites the band with world-renowned producer Dave Otero(Cattle Decapitation, Khemmis) for the third time. They locked themselves inside his Denver studio for several months, cutting out distractions and dedicating themselves entirely to the record.

‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ follows the critically acclaimed Juno Award-winning ‘Bleed the Future,’ and marks the band’s first fully independent release. Early in the writing process, they chose to crowdfund the album, a strategy they’d used before, but nothing prepared them for the scale of what came next.

They raised nearly $400,000 CAD in 30 days, blowing past their goal in under 24 hours and confirming that independence was the right move.

“I was actually shaking when I pressed launch,” says guitarist Dean Lamb. “We’d never taken on something this big, and all I could think was, ‘man, I hope we don’t mess this up.’”

‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ is set for release on April 10, 2026, and represents a new chapter for ARCHSPIRE. Now fully independent and armed with a revitalized lineup, they’re intent on expanding their already rabid fanbase, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal, and having a great time doing it.

ABOUT THE PLOT IN YOU

During 2023, The Plot In You kickstarted a new era with 'Vol. 1' with “Divide”, having generated over 44 million Spotify streams and counting followed by “Left Behind”, exploding to the tune of 82.9 million Spotify streams with no signs of slowing down. Upon the arrival of “Forgotten”, Revolver praised it among the “6 Best New Songs Right Now”. The Plot In You's 'Vol. 2' EP is a powerful showcase of the band's evolution, blending raw emotion with polished musicality, and stands as a testament to the band's growth and artistic maturity, captivating listeners with its intense yet introspective narratives with tracks “Closure”, “Don’t Look Away”, and “All That I Can Give” further solidifying their place as one of the genre's most compelling acts. Built on the momentum of the previous installments, the penultimate 'Vol. 3' sees the band pushing their sonic and emotional boundaries even further, amplifying their inimitable blend of industrial-tinged textures, crushing heaviness and deeply introspective songwriting, leading up to the grand finale of 'The Volume Series', out Friday, July 10.

In the quartet's latest offering and first release from 'Vol. 4', "You Get One" comes out of the gates swinging with existential fury. With haunting, glitchy electronics, a driving rhythm, and vocals that fluctuate from eerily digitalized murmurs to in-your-face screams, the track serves as an observation on the counterintuitive nature of current society, and the expanse between being a human versus what it means to be human.

MORGAN WALLEN CELEBRATES LAUNCH OF SIRIUSXM CHANNEL W/ PINNACLE UNDERPLAY

As Morgan Wallen readies his return to the road with his upcoming 23-date Still The Problem Tour, the RIAA’s highest-certified country artist of all time partnered with SiriusXM for a 16-song, intimate underplay to a crowd of nearly 4,000 SiriusXM subscribers at The Pinnacle in Nashville, TN. The show commemorated the launch of his new exclusive year-round channel, Morgan Wallen Radio. Relive this special performance on launch day, April 7th at 4pm CT on Morgan Wallen Radio (channel 64).
 
Wallen opened the night playing his current single, “Don’t We,” as fans enthusiastically welcomed him to the stage with a sea of phones capturing the superstar’s first show of 2026. 
 
“I haven’t played a show in a few months,” Wallen remarked after singing the title track of his fourth studio album, I’m The Problem. “I’ve been hanging out with my family, hanging out in the woods a little bit, making some new music. Every time I get on stage after a few months off, I think to myself, ‘Man, why did I take so much time off?’ because I always enjoy being up here. I appreciate you guys showing up everywhere I play.
 
“Big shout out to SiriusXM as well,” he added. “I remember the first time I ever heard my song on the radio was on SiriusXM. I didn’t even know that artists had their own radio stations at that point when I was listening to it. So, to fast forward ten years from that to be able to say that they’re letting me have a radio station that’s going to be on 24 hours, 7 days a week – it’s an honor and a privilege for me, for my team. It wouldn’t be possible without every single one of you here tonight. I just want to say thank you for all the milestones that you’ve given me during my career so far.”
 
Among the 16 songs, Wallen offered a taste of his Still The Problem Tour setlist with certified hits off his latest album, while also revisiting fan-favorites. Before introducing “Chasin’ You,” Wallen remarked, “I haven’t played this one in a couple of years. We gotta bring it back – this is one of the first songs I wrote.” 
 
Wallen also treated fans to deep cuts from I’m The Problem, including his nod to his homestate, “TN,” and the Billboard-dubbed “heavy-hearted” “Dark Til Daylight.” Returning to his roots, Wallen ushered out a piano for a surprise duet of his Dangerous-era longing anthem, “Sand In My Boots” alongside Problem tourmate Ella Langley. 
 
Bringing it home, Wallen ended the night with two of his biggest hits: his 12x Platinum, 16-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 “Last Night” and 13x Platinum “Whiskey Glasses.” Once again expressing his gratitude to his fans, Wallen remained on stage signing autographs and tossing guitar picks to the crowd. 
 
SiriusXM’s Morgan Wallen Radio, curated and presented by Wallen, will include his biggest hits and fan favorites. In addition to his catalog, subscribers will hear hand-picked songs from Wallen’s musical influences and unexpected favorites. Listeners will also hear exclusive commentary and behind-the-scenes stories from the country megastar on the making of his music, artists that have left a major impact on him, and untold stories from the road as he prepares for his upcoming Still The Problem 23-date stadium tour. Plus, drop-ins from the people that make up Wallen’s life on and off the stage.

ALICE COOPER INTRODUCES NEW GUITARIST ANNA CARA

Alice Cooper has introduced British guitarist Anna Cara in place of his longtime guitarist Nita Strauss, who announced earlier this year that she was taking a break to welcome her first child this summer.

22-year-old Anna, from Newcastle, England, has previously worked with Marc Storace (from the Swiss band Krokus) and Tommy Henriksen (guitarist with both Alice and the Hollywood Vampires). She has built an Instagram following with her videos.

Anna will make her debut April 2-4 with Alice at his special "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows in Las Vegas. These unique shows are a collaboration with illusionist Criss Angel and take place in his theatre at Planet Hollywood.

Alice has his U.S. "Alice's Attic" tour April 14 through May 9, and then returns to Las Vegas May 22-24 for three more "Welcome To Our Nightmare" shows with Criss Angel.

Keeping his usual busy schedule, Alice then has a European "Alice's Attic" tour June 13-July 12, and promises more shows in the fall.

Said Alice, "Nita found a brilliant British female guitarist to fill in for her while she is on maternity leave. Anna Cara is a beautiful dynamic shredder in the vein of Nita but with a style of her own. She will fit in with our gang perfectly while Nita is away and we can't wait for the sick things to meet her. Welcome to the show, Anna!"

Anna, for her part, said, "This is like a dream come true, to join Alice and his great band. Back when I started playing guitar at 14, I was watching Alice Cooper live shows on YouTube dreaming of joining one day! Nita Strauss is a tough act to follow, and she's been so encouraging to me this past month, so I am looking forward to showing everyone who I am and what I can do."

Nita said, "When I was asked in an interview who I thought was the best up and coming guitarist, I had no hesitation in answering 'Anna Cara.' Anna's precision and soulful, emotional playing will make her an amazing asset to the Cooper tour! Working with Alice for 12 years has been the experience of a lifetime and I look forward to seeing you all back on the road (with a +1 along for the ride!) Until that time comes, I know that the show is in good hands and the fans are in for a treat!"
