German Symphonic Metal Icons XANDRIA Announce New Album "Eclipse" + Share New Video

Chart-topping German symphonic metal icons XANDRIA will release their new studio album, Eclipse, on August 7 via Napalm Records. The upcoming full-length features eleven tracks that represent the most diverse body of work in the band’s discography so far: every song has its own identity — a journey full of discoveries — yet they all belong to the same world. Classic, '80s-inspired metal riffs stand alongside low-tuned modern metal guitars; cinematic orchestral sounds meet Celtic folk influences, and dark electronic elements blend with intimate rock moments, even including a guitar solo that owes more to Pink Floyd than to any metal genre.

With "The Shannon’s Home," XANDRIA unveils the first offering cut from the upcoming record. The song weaves dreamlike melodies, cinematic opulence, and folk elements, all driven by the soaring vocals of Ambre Vourvahis. Both intimate and epic, XANDRIA once again prove that they belong among the leading acts in the scene! "The Shannon’s Home" is now available on all streaming services worldwide and comes with an official music video that can be seen below.

Band mastermind Marco Heubaum comments on "The Shannon's Home":
"A song like a beautiful, slightly dark fairytale — which makes sense, as it is an analogy of life, pictured as the river Shannon, flowing from its source to the sea. And just one of the many colorful facets of our new album, which will be a journey full of diverse elements and surprises. We felt this song had a mysterious magic that captured our hearts from the very beginning. In fact, it was the first song we wrote for this next voyage of wonders — so we instantly knew this was the first song we wanted you all to hear. For all you wonderful people out there — enjoy!"

Watch the official music video for "The Shannon’s Home" Below:

Eclipse marks XANDRIA’s most outspoken and cinematic album so far: a dark, colorful, and defiant statement for reason, empathy, and democracy in times when all three are under attack, brought to life by a band fueled with new energy, new ambitions, and a clear artistic direction, aiming higher than ever and not looking back!

Pre-order your version of Eclipse NOW.

While The Wonders Still Awaiting (2023) marked the rebirth of XANDRIA with a new line-up — an album that opened the door to a new era — Eclipse goes further. It is more focused and direct, the lyrics are more outspoken, dealing almost entirely with what is happening to our civilization right now. The contrasts are stronger, and the different musical and vocal colours feel even more naturally integrated into the songs. As XANDRIA's sole composer, Marco Heubaum musically draws inspiration from all aspects of his surroundings: music, stories, and emotions that have shaped him since childhood. It is no secret that film scores have always been another major influence, especially composers like Hans Zimmer and John Williams.

Black Veil Brides Release Music Video For "Cut" (Feat. Lilith Czar)

With their seventh studio album VINDICATE out , Black Veil Brides are back with the last advance song and music video from the release. 

"Cut" featuring Lillith Czar is the latest song (the eighth if you are keeping score) from their Spinefarm debut. The track showcases the epic side of the band with their use of symphonic orchestration, which has become something the fans have come to love about them. The song shows the creative diversity of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma with a special guest appearance by Biersack's wife, Lillith Czar (Juliet Simms, Automatic Loveletter), on vocals. 

The music video directed by Max Moore (Spiritbox, Motionless In White) is available today. The video is a live-action re-telling of the Tim Burton classic The Corpse Bride" The video shows the band performing as Biersack sews his beloved wife back together. They get to have one last dance together before he loses her forever. The couple wore their actual wedding attire from 10 years ago and even renewed their vows on set. 

"'Cut' is a song that for me, is one of those songs in your catalog that feels like you were able to achieve exactly what you wanted to achieve when making it," explains Andy Biersack. "I feel like Lillith's voice and presence on this song is absolutely perfect. On the lyrical side, just knowing how much the concepts resonate with both me and Lilith makes it all the more special and then to get to shoot this incredible video together it just feels like a career highlight all around. It's one of my favorite songs we've ever done."

The music video for "Cut" (Feat. Lillith Czar) can be seen below:

With anticipation building at every turn, Black Veil Brides announced their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Vindicate. The record will be released worldwide on May 8 via Spinefarm.

Previously released singles including "Bleeders," "Hallelujah," "Certainty" and "Vindicate" and "Revenger" feat. Machine Head have already showcased the band’s continued musical evolution while maintaining the theatrical intensity that has defined their sound. The band recently made headlines when the track "Woe & Pain" from VINDICATE was used in the hype package between Cody Rhodes vs. Randy Orton for Wrestlemania 42. The track "Sorrow" was just seen during the broadcast of UFC Fight Night this past weekend. 

The album is now available for order HERE.

The Iron Roses Announce New Album "Molotov Nights" Out 8/6 + Share "Dead Eyes"

THE IRON ROSES, your favorite provocative punk rockers with a clear mission, are back with a brand new album. The band will self-release Molotov Nights on August 6. Pre-save it here (US) and here (EU).

Today, the band, previously lauded by SPIN for being "more ambitious both musically and thematically than most artists choose" and by New Noise as "a great fucking listen," are sharing their new single "Dead Eyes." Listen below.

"'Dead Eyes' is an unyielding statement that shines a light on the bottom line of war: Money," states Natasha Gray. "Greedy billionaires have always seen the working class as expendable pawns. In the words of Tupac Shakur: 'They got money for wars, but can't feed the poor,' and it is time to stand up and firmly demand that the financial rewards of our hard labor be used to enrich, feed, and care for our world, not destroy it. 'Dead Eyes' insists that silence is no longer an option, and drives that point home with deliberate intention, speaking to global atrocities happening around us, right now."

About the album as a whole, Becky Fontaine says, "Molotov Nights is a collection of anthems we poured every bit of our rage and frustration into, taking care to swaddle it in defiant joy and affirming hope. When we wrote this album, we set out to create protest punk that still honored autonomy, humanity, and compassion, and as we moved through our collective grief while bearing witness to new horrors of the world in our news feed every single day, an undeniable frenzy took over."

Fontaine continues, "What came together over the last two years of writing are 10 songs that take the backbone of our sound and make space for more rage, more vulnerability, more defiance, more romancing of the human experience, and more celebration of self. Molotov Nights is a love letter we tucked into the pockets of our community as we link arms and push forward in our resistance — one that we hope will become lovingly worn at the edges from being pulled out to read, re-read, and chant along to on the darkest of nights when hope feels impossible."

            With Gray and Fontaine's soaring dual melodies, acerbic lyrics, and unmatched intensity, Molotov Nights is the most cohesive and most necessary record of their career. Covering topics most bands shy away from — genocide, ICE, fascism, femicide — The Iron Roses stand for everything punk was always supposed to fight for. And they do it without ever losing the melody, the hook, the moment where the song grabs you by the collar and will not let go. This is what we needed. Not consolation. Not nostalgia. Not the comfortable lie that things will sort themselves out. We would have preferred the world where this record didn't have to exist — where there was nothing to be this angry about, nothing to grieve, nothing to scream. We'd take that world in a heartbeat. But we don't live in that world. We live in this one. And in this one, The Iron Roses just made Molotov Nights.

Ever the road warriors, The Iron Roses will tour through the rest of the year. All dates are below.

IATT Release New Album 'Etheric Realms of the Night' Alongside Video For "To Lie Beneath"

"To Lie Beneath" embraces discomfort and unquiet. IATT craft a haunting soundscape in this track as they explore the sensation of sleep paralysis, and "To Lie Beneath" sees the band joined by Jerome Burns who provides a dizzying trumpet solo. The thrilling accompanying music video brings to life this song's themes in line with the overarching concept of the new album. Etheric Realms of the Night is out now via Black Lion Records.

In "To Lie Beneath", shrill black metal vocals traverse above an immersive, textural instrumental arrangement. The extreme genre influences are placed alongside progressive styles reflecting the tension and disjointed impact of sleep paralysis. Symphonic elements from orchestral instruments entwine throughout the discordant layers. Specifically, IATT's use of harp alludes to the feeling of being immobilized during sleep paralysis.

Returning to the central theme of Etheric Realms of the Night, the instrumental section in "To Lie Beneath" represents being torn between reality and the dream world. The song's ethereal piano led outro is joined by a flute accompaniment. Serene yet somber, this conclusion introduces the idea of somniphobia, the fear of falling asleep, which is the focus of the following track on the album. 

IATT's cinematic music video for "To Lie Beneath" incorporates imagery of entanglement. The narrative's heroine is tied and bound with rope, and has cloth over her eyes restricting her senses further. Attempting to navigate her way through woodland, under the watchful eyes of cloaked figures, the protagonist is left stumbling while trying to make sense of this warped reality. Enlisting the help of two guides, something hooded and sinister follows close behind. 

Once her sight is restored, the heroine encounters objects, reminders, from 'reality' manifesting in this dream realm. The video ends showing her physical form situated firmly in the real world, while her mind ventures in plains elsewhere. 

IATT will be bringing Etheric Realms of the Night to the stage. In support of the new album and full-length film, the band has announced a run of live dates spanning the East Coast and into Canada marking IATT’s first time performing north of the border.

For this run, Etheric Realms of the Night will be performed in its entirety, offering a rare opportunity to experience the full narrative as it was intended live, immersive, and unfolding in real time.

The tour also features a number of special engagements, including the official release event for the band’s “Draft Away” beer collaboration, as well as the red carpet premiere screening of Etheric Realms of the Night - the Complete Album Film.

Vana Drops Official Music Video For "In Your Name"

Auckland’s pop-tinged industrial metal vanguard, Vana has today released the official music video for her current single “In Your Name,” out now via Sumerian Records. Arriving as the latest visual chapter in Vana’s expanding creative universe, the “In Your Name” video pushes deeper into the lore and world-building first introduced in the official video for “Pray.” Where that clip opened the door into Vana’s dark, devotional world, “In Your Name” steps further inside. Watch the video Below. Stream the track HERE 

Since release a month ago, “In Your Name” has already surpassed 500,000 streams, continuing the momentum behind Vana’s first wave of music for Sumerian Records. The track follows “Pray,” which has amassed over 3.7 million streams on Spotify alone and 672,000 YouTube views and counting.

Speaking on the track, Vana previously shared:

“Falling in love is painful. Where there is equal love, there will inevitably be equal loss. Sometimes you fall in love even when it hurts you. Sometimes, loving someone you know is bad for you hurts less than grieving the loss of that love.

“In Your Name” demonstrates how far some would go in the name of love, no matter how toxic that love may be.”

Adding further context to today’s video release, Vana goes on to share 

“The ‘In Your Name’ music video lives in that space where love and grief become indistinguishable.  It explores the aftermath of love and when it decays. The video explores the anger and lingering tenderness that come with loss how we try to bury pain instead of facing it and how it inevitably resurfaces.’ 

The video lands as Vana’s first US headline run, The Lady In Red Tour, continues to build serious heat across North America. The tour has already sold over 15,000 tickets including sold out shows in Atlanta, Orlando, Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Kansas City, Denver, Portland, Sacramento, Anaheim, Phoenix and Dallas as well as festival appearances on Warped Tour (DC, LB, Orlando), Louder Than Life Festival, Knotfest Mexico & is featured on the 2027 Shiprocked cruise lineup.

Having already amassed over 85 million streams across platforms, nearly 1 million Spotify monthly listeners, and a combined social following of over 1.2 million across TikTok and Instagram, Vana is fast establishing herself as one of alternative music’s most compelling new voices. With “In Your Name,” she sharpens the edges of a world that is growing darker, bigger, and more fully realised with every release.

About Vana:

Vana (pronounced VAH-NAH) is a New Zealand-based artist whose industrial alt-metal sound merges brutal riffs with haunting electro-pop elements, trap-influenced production, and visceral breakdowns. Raised in Auckland (originally born in Anaheim, California), Vana is entirely self-taught, building her sound and fanbase independently before signing to Sumerian Records in 2025.

Her breakout single "Beg!" amassed over 18.8 million Spotify streams and 1.7 million video views, earning her acclaim from Rolling Stone Australia, Vice New Zealand, NZ Musician, and Rova. With over 85 million cross-platform streams, 765,000 monthly Spotify listeners, and a combined social following of over 1.2 million across TikTok and Instagram, Vana has established herself as one of alternative music's most compelling new voices.

Drawing influence from Pierce the Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, Bring Me The Horizon, Brakence, and Chase Atlantic, Vana's music is equally informed by gothic literature, Lovecraftian horror, fantasy role-playing games like Baldur's Gate 3, and fragrance descriptions on niche perfume forums. She co-produces all her music with Vincent Ernst of Magnolia Park, crafting a sonic world as lore-driven and visually ambitious as it is sonically uncompromising.

A passionate advocate for inclusion, mental health awareness, and female empowerment in male-dominated spaces, Vana uses her platform to create a safe space for women, LGBTQ+ audiences, and anyone who's ever felt like an outsider. Her debut album, arriving fall 2026 via Sumerian Records, will introduce a dystopian fantasy world rooted in dark femininity, villainy, and the perspective of the misunderstood.



Vana is endorsed by Fender Guitars and Jackson Guitars.

CARNIFEX Sign To Sumerian Records & Drop New Single “ROSES AND ROTTING CORPSES”

Southern California deathcore titans Carnifex have officially signed to Sumerian Records, marking the beginning of a powerful new chapter for one of extreme music’s most enduring forces. To celebrate the announcement, the band have released their brand new single, “Roses and Rotting Corpses,” stream the single HERE and watch the music video Below. 

For nearly two decades, Carnifex have occupied the darker edge of American deathcore, building a catalogue defined by punishing heaviness, blackened atmosphere and a visual world steeped in death, horror and the occult. Emerging from Southern California in 2005, Carnifex were seminal in shaping the genre’s first wave and have remained at its pinnacle since. 

With “Roses and Rotting Corpses,” Carnifex open the door on their next era. The track arrives with the weight and menace fans expect, but there is a renewed sense of intent behind it, a sharpened vision that pulls the band’s apocalyptic heaviness further into darkness while setting the stage for what comes next.

Speaking on the signing and new single, the band shares: 

“We’ve entered a new era of Carnifex, and I couldn’t be happier to do it with Sumerian Records. Carnifex and the team at Sumerian have parallel histories going back nearly two decades, so to finally be working together on what will arguably be our best album is an incredible feeling. Our new song ‘Roses & Rotting Corpses’ is just the beginning of this next chapter.”

For Carnifex, the move signals more than a label change. It marks a fresh creative phase for a band that continues to honour deathcore’s roots while expanding its atmosphere, extremity and emotional scope.

Known for their visceral live performances and relentless global touring history, Carnifex have become a fixture across death metal, black metal, metalcore and hardcore lineups, bringing their chaotic, emotionally charged sound to stages around the world. From packed clubs to major festival crowds, the band’s live presence remains one of the clearest expressions of what has kept them vital for two decades.

Carnifex are currently touring the US on the Chaos & Carnage Tour with Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox and will be playing Welcome To Rockville this weekend and Sonic Temple on May 14th. Remaining dates below. Tickets available HERE.

ABOUT CARNIFEX

Since emerging from the sun-scorched depths of Southern California in 2005, Carnifex have remained one of extreme music’s most uncompromising forces, a band that helped define deathcore’s first wave and has spent two decades pushing well beyond it. Blending blackened atmosphere, relentless aggression and emotionally charged songwriting, Carnifex have built a body of work that turns darkness into catharsis for a global audience.

That legacy runs through landmark releases including Dead in My Arms, Hell Chose Me, Die Without Hope, Slow Death, World War X and Necromanteum, each one pushing the band further into cinematic, melodic and blackened territory without sacrificing the crushing intensity that made them genre staples in the first place. Their music pairs apocalyptic heaviness with themes of grief, anxiety, isolation and survival, forging a connection with fans that runs far deeper than shock value or brutality alone.

Known for their devastating live performances and relentless touring history, Carnifex have become a pillar of modern extreme music, sharing stages worldwide with acts across death metal, black metal, metalcore and hardcore while headlining sold out tours and major festivals across the globe. Whether in intimate clubs or massive festival crowds, the band’s live presence remains visceral, chaotic and emotionally unfiltered.

Now entering a new era in 2026, Carnifex continue to expand the scope of what deathcore can be. With new a new label partner in Sumerian Records, new music on the horizon and a sharpened creative vision, the band stands as both torchbearers and innovators, honouring the genre’s roots while pushing its atmosphere, emotion and extremity into darker and more ambitious territory than ever before.

For Carnifex, heaviness has never been just about sound. It is about confronting the darkest parts of existence head on and forging something powerful enough to survive them.

Maddox Batson is “Fallin’ Easy” in Latest New Music, Out Now

Sixteen-year-old breakout Maddox Batson leans into the rush of young love on his new track “Fallin’ Easy,” out now via Prosper Entertainment/ Warner Records. Listen to “Fallin’ Easy” here and watch the official music video below.

Batson co-writes the song with Jackson Foote and Grant Averill, with Foote producing, “Fallin’ Easy” captures the kind of effortless connection that defines young relationships. Built around acoustic textures and a sing-along chorus, the song finds Batson caught up in the moment–from late-night conversations under the stars to the dizzy feeling of being pulled toward someone you cannot quite explain. The hook lands on a simple truth that drives the song: falling might be out of your control, yet the right person makes it easy.

Batson recently wrapped the North American leg of his Live Worldwide Tour with a hometown stop at Nashville’s The Pinnacle on May 3, heading overseas for a European run kicking off May 12 in Dublin, with stops in Glasgow, Manchester, London and Amsterdam, among other cities.

About Maddox Batson:
Rising country-pop artist Maddox Batson is making a name for himself this year as the only 16-year-old on a headlining international, world tour. The Nashville-based songwriter first gained attention for his covers of popular songs before showcasing his own songwriting talent with singles like “I Wanna Know” and “Tears In The River,” in addition to a co-write on “Tough” recorded by Lana Del Rey and Quavo. Batson’s First Dance (The After Party) deluxe EP was released in 2025 to support his sold-out I Need A Truck Tour with singles “Coincidence,” “Girl In Green” and “No More” sang back to him by crowds night-after-night. Batson kicked off 2026 with “Any Other Night” and “If I See Her Again.” Batson is the youngest male artist to ever appear on Billboard’s 21 Under 21 list, and he is currently on his 44-city Live Worldwide Tour. The 16-year-old star will also make his acting debut in the upcoming Nate Bargatze and Mandy Moore film The Breadwinner on May 29. Fans can expect more music from Batson in 2026.

sace6 Release New Album 'brutalist' And "nepenthe" Official Visualizer via Sumerian Records

Genre-blending R&B metal sensation sace6 have today released their eagerly anticipated new album, 'brutalist'(via Sumerian Records). In celebration of the release, the duo shared the official visualizer for "nepenthe" from the full-length. Leading up to today, the band shared tracks "ego", "covet", "allured", and "reverie ft. jxdn" and the accompanying official videos. Speaking about the album release, sace6 commented:

"'brutalist' - our debut album, the sound designed from the most honest and vulnerable parts of our minds, it took a shape of its own to change the way our ears digest music and to reinstate what “pop music” is. yes there was intention and influence, but most importantly there was confidence in our own emotions to display sonically how we truly feel, furthering our statement one song after the other.

'brutalist' is the sonic catharsis of our lives throughout the past year. everything that we have felt, seen, and experienced is lived through every moment, lyric, melody and sustain of this record. as crushing as it is, we offer it to our listeners as a true experience of loss, grief, and redemption in self. we hope that not only do our listeners understand what’s being said, but feel it as deeply as the moment that pain was birthed."

'brutalist' is available now on all streaming platforms at the link here. Watch the official "nepenthe" visualizer below.

Fans now have their chance to see the band on fully sold-out The Pale Moonlight Tour across North America with Dayseeker, Northlane and Wind Walkers. Afterward, the band will kick off their first-ever US headlining tour starting Wednesday, June 10, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, followed by the 'It's Not You, It's Me' tour alongside Chiodos, 156/Silence, and Calva Louise beginning Thursday, July 30, in Denver, Colorado. sace6 will also be performing at all 5 Warped Tour dates and at Louder Than Life on Sunday, September 20 in Louisville, Kentucky.

THE NARRATOR - Release Music Video For 'Iron Grip' + New Album "Phosphor" Out Today!

Today, modern metalcore wrecking crew THE NARRATOR are thrilled to finally unleash their highly anticipated sophomore album Phosphor, available now for purchase and streaming worldwide.

Serving as the powerful follow-up to their acclaimed debut Lore, the new record delivers ten crushing tracks that channel the emotional weight of a world in crisis into raw intensity and cathartic heaviness. Exploring themes of inner exhaustion, resilience, and the razor-thin line between hope and self-destruction, Phosphor captures THE NARRATOR at their most intense, honest, and uncompromising.

To celebrate the release, the band has also unveiled a brand-new music video for the hulking, groove-laden anthem 'Iron Grip' — a track built for the pit and destined to satisfy breakdown worshippers and fans of modern heavy music alike.

Be sure to follow THE NARRATOR and become part of the story as the band enters an exciting new chapter.

Following several appearances at major summer festivals, THE NARRATOR will hit the road for an extensive EU & UK headline tour, bringing the crushing energy of Phosphor to stages across Europe and the United Kingdom.

KHEMMIS REVEAL NEW SINGLE/VIDEO, 'BENEATH THE SCYTHE’

KHEMMIS continue the march toward their towering new self-titled album with the release of ‘Beneath The Scythe,’ the latest single from the Denver heavy metal institution’s massively anticipated fifth full-length, due out June 12th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Following the explosive first single “Invocation of the Dreamer,” ‘Beneath The Scythe’ digs even deeper into the band’s sharpened sense of purpose—melding colossal riffs, soaring melodies, and the unmistakable emotional weight that has defined KHEMMIS for over a decade. Taken from an album that finds the band reconnecting with the pure exhilaration of making heavy music together, the track captures both the darkness and triumphant spirit at the heart of Khemmis.

Commenting on the new single, guitarist/vocalist Ben Hutcherson states:

“‘Beneath the Scythe’ is a track wherein all four of us just it rip. Dueling guitar solos? Check. Ripping drum fills? Check. A beautiful bass solo over a haunting, atmospheric interlude? Check! In some ways, “Scythe” feels like “classic Khemmis,” but we made sure that the song took the listener on a journey unlike anything we’ve done before. As always, this tune is best enjoyed at high volume while holding an ice-cold beverage in a room adorned with posters of Mercyful Fate, Iron Maiden, and At the Gates (RIP Tompa!).”

Alongside the release of ‘Beneath The Scythe,’ KHEMMIS is also unveiling pre-orders for a new band-exclusive vinyl variant of the new record. Limited to just 400 copies worldwide, the exclusive LP is pressed on transparent magenta vinyl with white splatter and is expected to move quickly—especially following the band’s previous exclusive pressing, which sold out in less than 24 hours. Demand for the new album continues to surge, with the recently announced Decibel exclusive vinyl edition already completely sold out, further proving the overwhelming anticipation surrounding KHEMMIS’ return.

‘BENEATH THE SCYTHE’ MUSIC VIDEO BELOW:

Khemmis—the follow-up to 2021’s acclaimed Deceiver—features eight tracks of unrelenting, monolithic heavy metal adorned by stunning artwork from Christopher Remmers. More than just another chapter, the record represents the band in their truest form: a celebration of heavy music, forged through camaraderie, conviction, and an enduring love of the riff.

Across eleven years, KHEMMIS have become one of modern metal’s most revered names, beginning with their 2015 debut Absolution and continuing through landmark releases like Hunted—named Decibel’s Album Of The Year—Desolation, and Deceiver. But while the band’s legacy is firmly established, Khemmis finds them energized by something more immediate: the joy of simply playing loud, heavy music together.

As Hutcherson explains:

“We decided early in the songwriting process that we wanted to write a tight, high-energy album that retained the essential ‘Khemmis sound’ while also embodying the joy of creating, experiencing, and loving heavy metal. Ours have always been deeply personal songs born from tragedy and sorrow; while the songs on Khemmis are still undeniably dark, they are not mined from our suffering. Instead, this record is a celebration of the music world that has sustained us.”

KHEMMIS will perform a special one-off show with ACID BATH in May before embarking on a headlining tour in early summer with support from NECROFIER and WRETCHED, followed by an excursion with MONOLORD soon after. Tickets and additional tour information are available at khemmisdoom.com/live.

Pop-Rockers AS IT IS Release New Single "Do You Remember?" + Official Music Video

Today, transatlantic pop-rock quartet AS IT IS proudly releases their new single ‘Do You Remember?,’ the latest track from their forthcoming self-titled album, out on July 17th via FLG.

Speaking on the reflective track, a live favorite in-waiting, frontman Patty Walters shares:

“‘Do You Remember?’ is about the countless nights we’ve spent retelling all our favourite stories from the road, the studio, and everywhere else that music has taken us over the years. When we were on top of the world and when we hit rock bottom, we went through every moment of it together, and the memories and the friendships are something we cherish every day. We wrote the song with Max Helyer (You Me At Six), someone who knew exactly what we wanted to say and capture in a song, both in its lyrics and its heart, and ‘Do You Remember?’ wouldn’t be half the song it is without him.”

Max himself adds:

“Working with the lads was a real pleasure. I remember when Patty and myself spoke about doing something at a Marshall writer camp in early 2025, a couple of months later, we were in his studio together writing this song. We shared stories of being on tour with your brothers and what AS IT IS have been through as a band, and I thought, hey, why don’t you write about that side of it? We wanted it to be a triumphant celebration of where they have been and what they’ve gone through together, but most importantly, coming back and doing it for the right reasons."

Of the accompanying music video, Walters comments:

“It was a blast filming the music video in a living room in Brighton, surrounded by partners, friends, and so many of the fans who have supported this band since the very beginning. We love this song so much, and it’s always special getting to share something unreleased with a handful of people before it officially drops. Once the video was wrapped, we played a headline set for everyone who came down, and it was a show I’ll absolutely remember forever. The band’s first-ever show was in a similar living room, no more than a ten-minute walk away from where we shot the video, and it felt so special to, nearly 14 years later, reconnect with the band’s most humble of beginnings, and to know that the video itself was becoming one of those same stories that inspired us to write this song in the first place."

Watch the Official Video for "Do You Remember?" Below:

It is everything that AS IT IS was, is, and will be, and it means the absolute world to them.

“You can never manufacture genuine connection with people,” Ben remarks. “Just find what is honest to you and honest to your journey, and that’s all any artist has to offer to the world. This is our reality, and reality is looking a bit more positive these days. We’re a band known for four quite depressing albums. But days fluctuate, and things change. That’s mental health. But to be able to look at everything with a different and more positive outlook on the future is all that we wanted to say.”

“This is the spirit and intention of the joy that formed AS IT IS in the first place,” Patty adds. “It is reconnecting with the kids that we were when we started to write songs. And now, we’re showing up with life in our eyes. We can listen to and support each other. This is the most in control and confident the band has been in a long time, but also the most proud. In the past, I had no choice but to be in AS IT IS. This new era of the band is my choice. Our choice. A choice. But in having it back, it means having maybe the biggest piece of myself back, too.”

Dominum Present New Single "Doctor Doctor" Plus Official Video

DOMINUM, the rising stars of modern metal, unveil the second track cut from their upcoming full-length Night Is Calling, set for release on July 3 via Napalm Records. The infectious anthem, entitled "Doctor Doctor," is driven by crushing riffs and irresistible hooks, showcasing the band's signature blend of theatrical horror themes and massive sing-along choruses, destined to echo across festival crowds. Following their previously released banger, "The Circus is in Town," the second single, "Doctor Doctor," is served alongside a high-quality official music video, telling the bittersweet story of sickening love. 

With their sophomore studio album, The Dead Don't Die (2024), DOMINUM, led by mastermind and singer Felix Heldt —better known as Dr. Dead— stormed into the top 10 of the German charts. Together with his zombies, Tommy Kemp (guitars), Patient 0 (bass), and Victor Hilltop (drums)—DOMINUM have already taken this undead spectacle to major stages across Europe. Touring alongside icons such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Battle Beast, and Peyton Parrish, the band has proven its strength both at major festivals and during their own headline shows.

Dr. Dead comments on "Doctor Doctor":
"What if a doctor needs to go to the doctor? When the one who heals everyone else can't heal himself anymore. 'Doctor Doctor' is my confession, wrapped in obsession.
A story about a love that feels like a cure at first… but slowly becomes the disease. My pulse races, the symptoms worsen, and suddenly the medicine stops working. I know it's killing me. But still, I crave another dose. Because some love won't save you. Some love just eats you up alive. And when the fever rises and my heart won't listen to reason, there’s only one question left: Is there anyone left who can save me. Yours, Dr. Dead"

Watch the official music video for "Doctor Doctor" Below:

DOMINUM open the next chapter of their dark, theatrical universe with their new full-length Night Is Calling. With their bombastic sound and outstanding stage presence, the band continues its rapid ascent on the international metal scene, without losing sight of its strengths: theatrical, melodic, and uncompromising modern metal — driven by the dark charisma of Dr. Dead and his zombies. One thing is certain: The Living Dead Squad continues to grow.
 
Night Is Calling is now available for pre-order, with selected formats including the bonus album Live at Wacken 2025.
 
Dr. Dead on Night is Calling:
"They grow up so fast." – Ugh. It makes me sick. And now I feel it myself: My zombies have grown up. Our creation… has grown up too. But unlike the pitiful rest, we don't mourn our childhood. No. We revel in who we are. Being a child, being an adult — what does that even mean? — the world lies at our feet, and we can do whatever we damn well please. Believe me from firsthand experience: An army of zombies makes everything a hell of a lot easier… and way more fun with every bit of trouble getting the punch it deserves. We have the power to reshape our world. And oh, we do. 'Night is Calling' — This is our outlet. Stronger melodies, heavier riffs, sharper, unflinching lyrics — honesty as our deadliest weapon. We are who we are. And you… you're in this whether you like it or not. The undead are on the march, more relentless than ever. Join us – immediately, willingly… or a little later when we come to your neighborhood. Either way… we'll be seeing you — Dr. Dead."

KOE WETZEL DELIVERS THE NIGHT CHAMPION WILDLY AWAITED SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM ARRIVES JUNE 12

Koe Wetzel didn’t have a master plan, beyond play loud, play hard – and hopefully have a place to sleep – when he began chasing music in Texas’s roughest bars and roadhouses, then Oklahoma, Arizona, Colorado and beyond. Little more than a decade later, the hard-charging performer/songwriter finds himself as a force for the music industry, even more than the law, to reckon with.
 
After his Gold-certified 9 Lives delivered a five-week No. 1 and the most played song at Country radio in 2025 with “High Road,” Wetzel returns with The Night Champion. Capturing the aftermath of a wild run, it delivers all the signature force, punch and ragged details people expect, tempered by the clarity that comes with surviving it. Set for release June 12 via Columbia Records, the album is available to pre-order / pre-save HERE.

Turning chaos, excess and hard-earned perspective into something built to endure, The Night Champion fuses all that’s happened since Wetzel first hit the road with a van and the drive to see how far he could take it. He didn’t foresee sold-out arenas across the U.S., Europe and Australia, a headlining turn in front of 70,000+ at the Houston Rodeo and award nominations spanning both country and rock; but those things sharpened the contrast between where he started and where he realized he could go.
 
“It’s a continuation of 9 Lives, from that record to now,” Wetzel offers of the follow-up to his globally connecting release. “Really, it’s everything that’s happened – because you don’t go from kids playing for beer to headlining Red Rocks, arenas all over the country, partying and trying to make sense of it all and not shift. My head space is clearer now. I can look back, see how it fits together. It doesn’t make sense, exactly, but it all happened. That search for what it all means keeps bringing me back.”
 
That tension sits at the heart of the new record, moving between hard-edged rock and wide-open, desolate ballads, balancing the chaos that defined his early years with a perspective that only comes from living through it. Feeling like both reckoning and release, the album grounds in the reality of all the things Wetzel’s outlasted. “It’s crazy I’m not in jail or dead as hard as I went these last 15 years,” he marvels. “Right now, I’m the best version of myself I’ve ever been. I survived the night side of me. I’m coming out of it a champion. That’s the essence of the record.”
 
Across The Night Champion, that reality plays out in full. It echoes on the muscular “Time Goes On,” weighing what was, what could’ve been and what’s happened since he was a kid who didn’t know better, shooting out the lights and living a reckless life on the edge. On the jaggedly propulsive “Hurts Like You,” arriving this Friday, May 8, Wetzel offers the raw intensity fans expect, but with a vulnerability and surrender to desires that cut you open.
 
“It’s kind of where I am now: an edgy roughness to all the songs that doesn’t give a fuck, but there’s a tenderness to it, too,” he explains. “Whatever happens, I’m man enough to deal, but the focus and headspace have shifted; I’ve grown up and become okay with looking back.”
 
Written beyond the confines of rigid sessions, leaning into his instincts rather than schedule, The Night Champion reflects his continuing creative growth. “You’ve gotta go in and get the music behind the feeling,” Wetzel explains. “When you force it, people feel it. I know what I want to say now, where the songs should go, and I want them to come from a space, not an appointment.”
 
Whether fans were there from those first nights in Texas, the wake of his indie breakout Noise Complaint or found the music during last year’s radio rush, The Night Champion is built to offer a sense of all the phases as it brings the disparate audiences together. “I’m not torn between the worlds,” Wetzel says of the convergence. “This is where all the fans meet.

THEORY OF A DEADMAN and SEVENDUST Join Forces for 36-Date Co-Headline Tour of North America

A tour partnership over two decades in the making, THEORY OF A DEADMAN and SEVENDUST are teaming up for The Dead / Seven Tour. This 36-date co-headline tour promises to be more than just another show. It’s an unforgettable evening comprised of hard rock anthems, raw energy, and decades of fan-favorite hits. Whether you’ve been with them since day one or just found your new favorite track, this tour promises to deliver it all!

The Dead / Seven Tour is scheduled to kick off on August 7th in Duluth, MN, and run through September 29th, where it ends in Bozeman, MT.  Along the way, it will make stops in Fargo, ND (August 11), Detroit, MI (August 23), Atlanta, GA (September 5), Corpus Christi, TX (September 12), and Riverside, CA (September 20) to name a few. 

“We are beyond pumped to hit the road with one of the most beloved rock bands and friends, Sevendust. Playing shows with them going back to 2002, man, this tour is gonna crush! Cannot wait to play some new tracks and some old ones too. Excited for rockers Return to Dust to join us as well,” explains Tyler Connolly of THEORY OF A DEADMAN. 

“Man, hearing Tyler say that takes me back. We’ve been throwing down together for a long time, and it’s always been nothing but love and high energy. Theory of a Deadman always brings it, so we already know this tour is going to be something special. We’re beyond excited to get out there, share the stage again, and give the fans moments you can’t recreate anywhere else. Our friends in Return to Dust will be there too.  Much respect to those guys, and we’re ready to crush this thing together,” adds Lajon Witherspoon of SEVENDUST.

THEORY OF A DEADMAN returns with their hard-hitting new single, “Barricade.” Marking a new chapter for the band, comprising Tyler Connolly, Dave Brenner, Dean Back, and Joey Dandeneau, the track delivers their signature mix of gritty riffs, anthemic hooks, and unfiltered lyricism with a renewed sense of urgency.

Driven by a tense, simmering energy, “Barricade” builds from restrained verses into a massive, cathartic chorus, capturing the push-and-pull emotion at the core of the song while maintaining an undeniable arena-ready punch.

Watch the Official Visualizer for "Barricade" below:

Touring in support of their 15th studio album 'ONE,' GRAMMY® Award–nominated metal icons Sevendust prove once again why they remain a vital force nearly three decades into their career. Comprised of Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Clint Lowery (guitar), John Connolly (guitar), Vince Hornsby (bass), and Morgan Rose (drums), the band once again delivers the signature sound that has earned them both critical acclaim and a fiercely loyal fanbase. Early reviews of 'ONE' make it clear: Sevendust has not lost their edge.

'ONE' is now available via Napalm Records in multiple configurations, including digital downloads now: http://lnk.to/Sevendust-One. 

Evergrey Unveil Third Single + Video "Leaving The Emptiness"

EVERGREY, Gothenburg's masterminds of melancholia, release another song leading up to their upcoming fifteenth album, Architects Of A New Weave, out June 5 via Napalm Records. The encouraging new single "Leaving The Emptiness" offers a chorus that breaks through like sunlight piercing storm clouds. More than 30 years into their career, EVERGREY reshape their future masterfully, turning their inner fire into something unstoppable.

This is melodic, progressive, dark metal at its most massive and intimate: Dream weavers rising. Architects are stepping up to claim what comes next. The new track comes with an official music video that’s visually underlining its signature character.

Tom S. Englund about the new single "Leaving The Emptiness":
"Our new single is a high-energy firecracker that makes you want to jump—we know, because we just played it in Brazil twice and people were more in the air than on the ground. But don't let the adrenaline fool you. Underneath the surge is something rawer—a song about the moment you stop running from what hurts and finally turn to face it. 'Leaving The Emptiness' hits hard because it earns it. The tension between the euphoric, major-key drive and the weight of the lyrics is completely intentional—we want you to feel joy and ache at the same time, because that's what it actually feels like to face your demons and come out the other side. We also made a video that matches that energy in every way, and we genuinely cannot wait for you to see it. If you've ever stood in a crowd and felt the music pull something out of you that you didn’t know was still there—for us, this is that song."

Watch the official music video for "Leaving The Emptiness" Below:

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. 

Tom Englund about Architects Of A New Weave:
"We've literally never had this much trouble picking singles. And honestly? That's the best problem we could possibly have. Every song on this record is fighting to be the one you hear first—because we poured everything into making an album we're flat-out obsessed with. Like always there are no fillers, no compromises, just twelve tracks we're stupidly proud of and will be for the rest of our lives. Pre-order the album now and join the weave!"

A Killer's Confession Teams Up With DJ/Producer Zardonic for “In Case of Emergency Remix" ft. J Mann

Alternative/nu-metal force A Killer’s Confession has joined forces with internationally acclaimed producer Zardonic for a high-octane reimagining of “In Case Of Emergency (ft JMANN).” The remix brings Zardonic’s signature aggressive drum & bass sound to the track, bridging the raw intensity of modern metal with the pulse and precision of global bass music.  Watch the visualizer below:

The original track joined A Killer’s Confession vocalist Waylon Reavis with fellow former Mushroomhead vocalist JMann, and was the first single from AKC’s early 2025 album Victim 2. 

For A Killer’s Confession, the remix continues the band’s evolution into hybrid soundscapes that blend industrial textures, electronic elements, and emotionally charged songwriting. The track further expands the sonic universe of their ongoing Victim album trilogy, which explores the psychological tension between morality and darkness.

HEMLOCK Unleashes New Video for “Crooked Smile” Ahead of Pigeonholed Vinyl Re-Release

HEMLOCK and Continental Touring are proud to announce the release of a brand-new official video for “Crooked Smile,” arriving just in time for the long-awaited vinyl re-release of their landmark album Pigeonholed available on vinyl for the first time ever in celebration of its 25-year anniversary.

Originally produced in 2001 by Mikey Doling (Snot, Soulfly, Channel Zero) in Malibu, California, “Crooked Smile” has returned with renewed intensity, capturing the raw power and chaos that Hemlock has built their legacy on. To honor the anniversary release, the band made the decision to not only press the album on vinyl for the first time, but to also bring the song to life visually with a new performance-driven video.

Filmed and edited by Gearly Beloved Productions, the “Crooked Smile” video pulls footage from two explosive live performances delivering the kind of unfiltered stage energy Hemlock fans know all too well. It’s loud, real, and unapologetic… a celebration of the scars, the survival, and the crooked grin that comes with it.

“Crooked Smile” is more than a song, it’s a rally cry for the misfits and the battle-tested. It’s about taking what’s broken, what healed wrong, and turning it into something ferociously alive.

STREAM "CROOKED SMILE"    

Watch the Official Music Video for “CROOKED SMILE” Below:

With the vinyl release approaching and major tour plans underway, Hemlock is gearing up for a huge year, including U.S. May tour dates followed by a five-week European tour this summer, featuring appearances at major events including:

Till-Fest (Leipzig, Germany) w/ Till Lindemann, Ministry, and more

Sticky Fingers (Marktredwitz, Germany) w/ Tankard, Stick To Your Guns, and more

Additional European dates (23 more shows) will be announced soon.
