apanese Horror Inspired USBM Duo SAIDAN Unleashes New Single, "Immersed by Eternity’s Blade"

Japanese horror-inspired USBM outfit SAIDAN will be releasing its highly anticipated fourth LP, 'FANGDRILLER: Scars Beneath Memory's Wrist,' on June 19 via Avantgarde Music! The band is now unveiling the cinematic new single, "Immersed by Eternity’s Blade" along with a music video, which can be found below.

A prequel to 2023's 'Visual Kill,' 'FANGDRILLER' follows The Student (Junko) as she tries to heal her fractured heart. Haunted by wistful solitude, her isolation makes her the perfect victim for a mysterious cult known as Ethereal Blood.

SAIDAN vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk comments, “Many of the songs on this album offer glimpses into where I was emotionally over the past year. 'Immersed by Eternity’s Blade' is unique in that there’s no metaphor to masquerade my heart. I yearned for a future where the anguish of the present would fade into a distant memory, leaving only the moments of happiness behind.

"This song was, and continues to be, a source of healing for me. I hope that anyone carrying their own sorrow can find some measure of comfort in this song and in the album as a whole.”

While lyrically dealing with topics of depression, heartbreak, loss, and loneliness, the album is musically inspired by the lo-fi nature of classic Visual Kei and gothic black metal. Saidan strives to deliver an album that sounds nostalgic for an era of music that doesn’t exist. Blistering solos, deranged vocals, anthemic-riffage, and diabolical drumming are slammed together with doses of modern breakcore and wrapped in a black metal bow, garnering a feeling of familiarity while offering something that’s boldly unique.

Pre-orders can be found HERE.

Moreover, SAIDAN will be embarking on a U.S. tour in support of prolific atmospheric black metal band Trhä along with Barbelith. The trek will kick off on July 23 in Indianapolis, IN and will lay waste through the East Coast and parts of the midwest until the final stop on August 8 in Charlotte, NC.

In the neverending quest of supporting young and boundary-pushing bands from the underground around the world, Avantgarde Music is proud to announce their collaboration with Saidan, a Japanese horror-themed black metal band from Nashville, TN.

Spawning from tragedy in 2020, Saidan rapidly released a string of demos and splits that caused a stir in the underground Black Metal scene. With their anthem-like riffage, violent imagery, deranged vocal delivery, and heavy metal flair, Saidan has risen above their contemporaries and stood out in a bustling USBM scene. In five short years, Saidan has gone on to release three LPs: 'Jigoku: Spiraling Chasms of the Blackest Hell' (2021), 'Onryō II: Her Spirit Eternal' (2022), and 'Visual Kill: The Blossoming of Psychotic Depravity' (2024), all to critical success. The band's latest offering, 'FANGDRILLER: Scars Beneath Memory's Wrist,' will be arriving on June 19, 2026 exclusively through Avantgarde Music.

'Fangdriller' is the fourth studio album born from the minds of multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk and drummer Hundosai, a new chapter in the narrative concept that links together all Saidan releases. A prequel to 2023's 'Visual Kill,' 'FANGDRILLER' follows The Student (Junko) as she tries to heal her fractured heart. Haunted by wistful solitude, her isolation makes her the perfect victim for a mysterious cult known as Ethereal Blood. 

While lyrically dealing with topics of depression, heartbreak, loss, and loneliness, the album is musically inspired by the lo-fi nature of classic Visual Kei and gothic black metal. Saidan strives to deliver an album that sounds nostalgic for an era of music that doesn’t exist.

Movements Share Visualizer for New Song "Everything Is Fine" — LISTEN + WATCH

Southern California's post-hardcore stalwarts MOVEMENTS will unleash their new album Happier Now on September 4 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, they share the visualizer for new single "Everything Is Fine."

Watch and listen below.

Movements are known for discordant, angular post-hardcore but on the moody and mercurial "Everything Is Fine," the band shows off its ability craft the kind of beautiful melodies that linger for days and that directly request that you sing along. It's a cerebral and contemplative post-punk anthem. When singer Patrick Miranda sings, "Everything is fine," you are left to wonder: Is it, though? That's the beauty of Movements and their new album, Happier Now. It will make you think, all the while nodding your head along to the groove.
 

""Everything Is Fine' is one of those songs that took a while to get right," shares Miranda. "It went through multiple different versions before we landed on this one, and it ended up being one of my favorite choruses on the record. It's a song about anxiety, and I think fans of the earlier Movements subject matter will really enjoy this one."

Movements will embark on a U.S. headline tour in October, with support from Balance and Compsure, Midrift, and NIIS. All dates are below.

ABOUT MOVEMENTS:

Movements are proud to announce their fourth full-length album for Fearless Records, Happier Now, with GRAMMY-winner Will Yip (Turnstile, Title Fight, Circa Survive) once again serving as producer. The result is an album that's as expansive as it is emotional and takes Movements' signature sound to a heightened level that further establishes the band as scene statesmen.
 
"I think at first we weren’t really sure what the record was going to be," vocalist Patrick Miranda admits. "We all had a general idea: We wanted it to bring in the early elements of our sound and blend it with the newer material like [2023's] RUCKUS! and mesh both of those sounds." Two of the songs that came from that initial session were the album’s first two singles: The instantly infectious anthem "Dissolve Me" and moody meditation "Back In My Ways," which collectively acted as sonic north stars to guide the band through the recording process.
 
In many ways, Happier Now is a full circle moment for Movements, who are once again performing on the Warped Tour this summer and slowly becoming veterans of the community that inspired them growing up. The struggle never sounded so sweet.

Stoned Jesus Go Deeper and Darker on New Single “Under the Skin”

Stoned Jesus are true trailblazers. While often associated with the stoner crowd, the heavy progressive rockers have experimented with folk, prog, pop and alternative rock amidst familiar doses of doom. Last year, the band entered the first phase of an expansive album trilogy that promises to take them from the sun to the moon and back. Songs to Sun was named one of the best albums of 2025 by Doom Charts, Rock Hard, The Obelisk and other outlets. Now, as frontman Igor Sydorenko and his bandmates prepare to blaze through the European summer festival circuit, they’re cycling into the next phase of their evolution.

Today, Stoned Jesus are releasing a new single. Though packed with the band’s reliable dose of heaviness, the progressive post-metal contained within “Under the Skin” shows them entering the darkest, most daring and deeply moving territory of their 17-year career.  

“Our upcoming album trilogy started last year with Songs to Sun, which is a loud and heavy album that’s big on choruses and meaty riffs”, Sydorenko says before turning to Stoned Jesus’ latest single. “‘Under the Skin’ begins our next phase in a somewhat similar fashion, but with a sinister twist. The fans of the very first SJ demo will recognize the influence of post-metal, which resurfaced after our tour last summer with the legendary Cult of Luna. But “Under the Skin” is not a step back. It’s darker, bolder and more introspective than anything the band has done before”.

Watch the music video for “Under the Skin” below.

On the surface, “Under the Skin” picks up right where Stoned Jesus left off. The sinking anxiety that swallowed Songs to Sun gives way here to heavy breathing. And while catchy as ever, the song’s weighty riff isn’t the only dark force that’s rattling inside Sydorenko’s head. “I feel it, it’s creeping in”, he strains, backed by bassist Andrew Rodin, who adds some of the harshest vocals the band have ever pressed to wax.  

The video for “Under the Skin” was filmed while Stoned Jesus were recording in Cologne, Germany at Goblin Sound Studio with sound engineer Andy Rosczyk (ex-Ultha). Despite the song’s bleary state of mind (“Promises to keep / I will never sleep”), the band never lose their glow. As drummer Yurii Ciel guides them through a proggy middle passage that leads deeper into the shadows, we catch a glimpse not only into their psyche but the shape of what’s to come. “Sky glider, gone wilder / With the setting sun”.

The video for “Under the Skin” was edited by Marco Menestrina.

Catch Stoned Jesus this summer on the European festival circuit.

Order

https://orcd.co/stonedjesussongtosun

Songs to Sun arrived in 2025 as the first album in a forthcoming trilogy that once complete, will stand as the pinnacle of what's been a decades-long trip for Stoned Jesus. While picking up where Father Light left off, Sydorenko and his new mates nodded to Seven Thunders Roar and The Harvest along the way. But by merging metal's fiery intensity with mind-melting grooves, vintage prog and their catchiest choruses yet, they brought the many distinct phases of Stoned Jesus to a bright, burning head. The album was named one of the best the year by Doom Charts, Rock Hard, The Obelisk, Weedian, Metal Lair and other outlets.

In 2026, Stoned Jesus are moving into the darkest, most daring and deeply moving phase of their career, starting with the band’s latest single "Under the Skin”.

Now, as the band approaches its thirteenth studio album, a deeper and more arcane force begins to stir. The number thirteen bears ancient meaning: endings, thresholds, and the passage into the unknown. Rooted in primordial doctrine, the thirteenth seal is said to bind the final veil between worlds, the last barrier between order and chaos.

With this upcoming release, BELPHEGOR prepares to break that seal, not to follow, but to lead. To summon what lies beyond even their own previous creations: something more primal, more ritualistic, more devastating.

Early glimpses of new material point to a continuation of the dark artistic path begun with The Devils, now delving even deeper. The upcoming album takes shape as a focused ritual: precise, uncompromising, and rooted in the band’s unmistakable vision, the glorification of the Devil.

Prepare. The next chapter is imminent.

BraveWords Records Announces the Signing of AIRFORCE Release Single and Music Video for the Track “Strange World”

BraveWords Records is pleased to announce the signing of AIRFORCE and the release of the single “Strange World” a cover of the Iron Maiden track. Set in the Iron Maiden “Somewhere In Time” universe, the video brings to life the lyrics and themes in the song! Watch as one of the most iconic Maiden cover artworks comes to life!”

Fans can stream and download “Strange World” from Bandcamp at https://bravewordsrecords.bandcamp.com

The band shared their excitement about signing with BraveWords Records, "Airforce are delighted to be joining forces with the phenomenal BraveWords, a highly regarded global media outlet and record label. Airforce are looking forward to a long and successful partnership with BraveWords."

Continuing, the band, (whom features in it's ranks former Iron Maiden drummer Doug Sampson) talked about covering Iron Maiden’s track “Strange World”, “Covering Iron Maiden’s “Strange World” was actually Tony Hatton’s idea. The song has always been a favorite of Chop Pitman since the early days. Plus, our drummer, Doug Sampson, played on the original Iron Maiden version that was recorded during the Soundhouse Tapes sessions, so we thought, “Why not give it a go and see what happens?”

Lino did a great job with the vocals. We didn’t want to simply cover the song as it was originally recorded, so we adapted it to suit Airforce’s style and sound.

Chop Pitman ran the idea past Steve Harris and asked for his blessing.

Steve suggested that we invite Dave Sullivan, one of Iron Maiden’s earliest guitarists, to play on the track—which we did. As a result, we have two former Iron Maiden members performing on the recording.

Chop also came up with the idea of ending the song with the outro from another classic Iron Maiden track, “Remember Tomorrow,” which we felt fit perfectly. Steve and Dave both liked the idea as well.

“Strange World” was played at the funeral of our good friend, Paul Di’Anno, making this recording a tribute to him, too. Paul recorded with Airforce on a couple of occasions, and we miss him dearly.

We would like to thank Steve Harris and Dave Sullivan, as well as Jez Coad, who produced the track, and, of course, my nephew Lee Heffron for creating this amazing video.”

About AIRFORCE:

“A Band of Brothers” is not only a term that best describes this London-based heavy rock band, but it is also the title of one of their most memorable songs. The description is fitting because Airforce began their journey unpretentiously as a true band of brothers in music.

Cutting their teeth on the London club circuit, the band shared a passion for the rock lifestyle, the art of songwriting, and the thrill of performing live. This enthusiasm for their craft led them to experience the magic of the unexpected, taking them to stages across Europe and the United States.

Although the roots of the band date back to the late 1970s under the name EL-34, Airforce has existed under its current name since 1986. With two EPs, three studio albums, and one live album to their credit, the band’s name has become synonymous with the classic legacy of the NWOBHM (New Wave of British Heavy Metal) sound.

At the same time, Airforce became pioneers of a new wave of “blast-from-the-past” bands. Unexpectedly emerging as leaders of the genre, they outlasted many younger bands that failed to make a lasting impact.

Airforce evolved from being the exception... to becoming part of a worldwide movement that spread across numerous countries. Throughout it all, they have proudly carried the flag for British heavy rock.

In the last five years alone, despite the challenges of the lockdown era, Airforce have performed more than one hundred shows in over twenty countries, building an army of loyal fans around the world.

AIRFORCE Members:

Lino - Vocals

Chop Pitman - Guitar & Vocals

Doug Sampson - Drums

Tony Hatton - Bass

The track offers another glimpse into the band’s most ambitious chapter yet, ahead of the album’s release on October 9th alongside the announcement of their summer shows alongside Deep Purple and Alice Cooper and their autumn album tour. 

A sun-soaked reflection on the myths we grow up believing, “L.A. Morning” explores the idealized image of the American Dream through a distinctly British perspective. Built around themes of ambition, escapism, and disillusionment, the track captures the tension between youthful fantasy and reality, while retaining the sense of wonder that made those dreams so alluring in the first place.

The song arrived unexpectedly during the final stages of recording ‘Heavy.’ Initially never intended for the album, “L.A. Morning” was written and recorded in a matter of hours during the band's final studio session, with THE HOWLERS committing to their first instincts and capturing a spontaneity that would ultimately make it one of the record’s defining moments.

“As kids, we all grew up with the idea of the American Dream, a notion that has been dashed significantly in recent years by world events, but the romanticised idea of Hollywood is something that every child knows and grows up wanting,” says frontman Adam Young. “’L.A. Morning’ is sort of the realization of that. It was never meant to end up on the album, but it came together so naturally that we couldn’t ignore it. Those moments are rare, and they’re what making music is all about.”

Following a period of transition at the end of 2024, THE HOWLERS entered a new phase, with frontman Adam Young rebuilding the project as a two-piece alongside drummer Toby Richards — a shift that redefined both the band’s sound and creative direction, bringing a renewed sense of focus and identity.

That reset came off the back of a breakthrough year. Their self-funded debut album ‘What You’ve Got To Lose To Win It All’ landed to widespread European acclaim, breaking into the UK Independent Breakers Charts Top 10 while securing multiple positions across independent, vinyl and physical sales charts. Radio support followed from BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, Radio X and Absolute Radio, alongside international backing and editorial playlisting across Apple Music and Spotify.

That momentum translated directly to the stage. A sold-out 18-date UK headline tour established the band as one of the country’s most exciting live acts, followed by a European run that saw them sell out shows across eight countries — road-testing new material that would ultimately shape what came next.

Where that debut was defined by grief and personal loss, ‘Heavy’ emerges from a very different place. Driven by the tension between desire and consequence, recklessness and reality, it’s an album lit by the pull of the night, the thrill of impulse and the cold clarity that follows.

Written and produced alongside long-time collaborator Chris Ostler (Black Honey), the record deliberately sidesteps traditional studio methods. Instead, it was built remotely — with demos, ideas and reworked compositions exchanged across digital platforms — stripping everything back while pushing each track to its strongest form. Only in the final stages did the band enter rehearsal spaces to capture live drums, grounding its more experimental edges with a raw, physical energy.

Young adds:

“This album is those late night experiences, the after dark conversations, late night phone calls, the seductive nature of impulsiveness that seems so alluring and losing yourself in the addictive nature of recklessness — but it’s also the mirror in the morning, the wake up call, and the harsh reality of knowing those feelings won’t always last. It’s the moment you find yourself again.”

For a band that has always worn its honesty as a badge of honour — and built a fiercely loyal following on the back of it — ‘Heavy’ feels like the album THE HOWLERS were always moving towards. With an extensive UK and European headline tour to follow, 2026 is shaping up to be the year they fully arrive.

Ho99o9 Unleash Blistering New Anthem "Power in Numbers"

Ho99o9 return with “Power In Numbers,” a blistering new anthem that captures the band at their most direct, urgent, and confrontational. Fusing industrial hip-hop with hardcore punk intensity, the single delivers a powerful message rooted in unity, resistance, and collective strength, reinforcing the duo’s reputation as one of the most uncompromising voices in alternative music.

“Power In Numbers” is a cultural statement that channels the chaos of the current moment and emphasizes the strength of solidarity and shared resistance. The track draws from the lineage of protest music, balancing chaos and control to reinforce its central message of collective power. 

Known for pushing boundaries across genre and culture, Ho99o9 continue to blur the lines between punk, rap, industrial, and hardcore, creating music that is as politically charged as it is sonically destructive. “Power In Numbers” further expands the group’s fearless approach, designed to provoke, energize, and unite.

Recently, the band performed a free show for fans in Los Angeles at Pacific Electric, in conjunction with clothing and graphic apparel tastemakers, Civil Regime. The show served as a send-off for Ho99o9, who kick off their summer European and UK dates today (full dates below).  

Tomorrow We Escape, Ho99o9’s third album, was released recently via 999 Deathkult / Last Gang. A true amalgamation of all the band’s influences, including experimental hip-hop, digital hardcore, future-facing punk, metal, jarring industrial, and off-kilter electronics, the album is their most emotional offering to date, rooted in personal struggle and triumph. It exemplifies the outfit’s collaborative spirit, featuring Nova Twins, Chelsea Wolfe, Greg Puciato, MoRuf, Pink Siifu, and more. Trayer Tryon of avant darlings Hundred Waters (and with prod on recent breakthroughs - The Hellp, Sam Austins, 2Hollis, Alto Arc……) mixes and masters the album, further refining a new sonic landscape, harnessing the very best of the chaos that fans have come to know and love, with a fresh injection of newfound melodies, space, and crystalline production.

The New Jersey-bred outfit made its way to Los Angeles over a decade ago. Surging and seething just below the surface, the pair broke through as an apocalyptically fascinating outlier with their 2017 full-length debut, United States of Horror. In the meantime, their infamous live shows became the stuff of legend as they packed houses on their own and shared stages with everyone from Slipknot, Korn, Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie, Ministry, and The Dillinger Escape Plan to Lil Uzi Vert, Denzel Curry, Cypress Hill, and Ghostface Killah. Earning the respect of an elite cohort of peers, popular collaborations placed them toe-to-toe with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, The Prodigy, JPEGMAFIA, Ghostemane, HEALTH, 3TEETH, and N8NOFACE, among others. Jack Black made an appearance in their KULT CABLE series while they guested on The Eric Andre Show. They’ve received further acclaim from The New York Times, NME, The Guardian, Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, The FADER, Revolver, and more. They stand out as the rare phenomenon that can decimate Hellfest and Aftershock Festival and captivate on A COLORS SHOW.

“Power In Numbers” is available now on all streaming platforms. Stream / Get it HERE.

MADBALL | RETURN TO THEIR ROOTS ON NEW SINGLE 'TETHERED'

On July 24th, NYHC icons MADBALL return with their tenth studio album, Not Your Kingdom,via Nuclear Blast. Seamlessly bridging the gap between old-school grit and the modern heavy music landscape, MADBALL remains an unrivaled force. Not Your Kingdom pairs the band's trademark tales of street survival with a deeper, introspective edge, cementing the fact that hardcore still runs deep in their veins.

MADBALL has unleashed their second single, 'Tethered.' The track serves as an unapologetic, deeply personal reflection on everything the band represents. Dissecting pivotal moments from both past and present, frontman Freddy Cricien proclaims: “I’m bound to all the things / That I’ve done and seen / Tethered to everything / All the good the bad / That made me.” Delivering the classic, high-octane groove that serves as the genre's lifeblood, the track is paired with a music video directed by Freddy Cricien and Dave Causa who handled filming—a visual love letter to the streets of New York City where the band first took root.

MADBALL's Freddy Cricien comments, "'Tethered' is the opening song on the record and that’s ironic because it’s one of the last ones written for the album. I love the vibe, very bouncy groovy NYHC that really transported me back to the 90’s - hence the lyrics/theme. To my ears, it has a 'nostalgic' feel but still manages to come across as something new for us! Made sense for it to be the second single to demonstrate the diversity of the album - the whole thing is a story, a ride of sorts and this one as the opener really sets a good pace sonically and lyrically."

They’ve stayed sincere, stayed dangerous, and stayed at the top. Ain’t nothing changed.

LUNA KILLS Unveil "LOWER" Video

Following the release of their album DEATHMATCH last year, Finnish alternative metal powerhouse LUNA KILLS are already charging forward with a brand new single titled "LOWER" via Sharptone Records.

Speaking about the single, the band shares, "The lyrics of the song are about dealing with the feeling that you don't belong anywhere. You feel the weight of not fitting into the expectations that society or others have placed upon you, or even the expectations you have for yourself. It makes you question your reality, and at the same time, you slowly begin to feel like you'e fading away piece by piece and turning into someone you don't recognize. The song carries a theme — both in lyrics and music — about the contrast between the softness of accepting yourself and the world you have built around yourself and the crushing weight of a never leaving dread whispering whether you made the right choices."

Following the explosive momentum of DEATHMATCH and standout tracks including "WAVES," "LEECH," "sugar rush,""slay ur enemies"  and "love u," the band continues to evolve an unmistakable blend of crushing heaviness, modern production, and emotionally charged songwriting.

LUNA KILLS have added new dates to their 2026 tour schedule, featuring major festival appearances and headline shows across Europe, as well as select support slots for Future Palace and Vianova. View tour dates here.

ABOUT LUNA KILLS:
LUNA KILLS are without a doubt the most refreshing modern metal act in the scene, combining alternative and nu-metal vibes with electronics inspired by game soundtracks. Their frontwoman Lotta with her jazz singing background and incredible fry scream vocals brings the audience to their knees - unless they are speeding around in moshpits, as often witnessed in their fiery live shows. Even as newcomers LUNA KILLS have already opened the door to their beloved gaming world as their music is featured in the hit mobile app Beatstar. The band, first formed in 2019, has now taken their first steps on European stages, gained the attention of multiple rock radios in their native Finland and are moving forward towards their first full-length album with SharpTone Records.

Lotta Ruutiainen — Vocals

DUSTIN LYNCH DELIVERS TWO OF CMA FEST'S HOTTEST TICKETS

During CMA Fest 2026, Dustin Lynch once again proved why fans flock to his signature events year after year, bringing thousands together across two unforgettable celebrations that showcased both sides of his high-energy live experience while his latest country radio single “Easy To Love” continues to climb the charts. 

On Thursday (6/4), Lynch kicked off the festivities with the fourth annual DUSTIN LYNCH POOL SITUATION: NASHVILLE at Margaritaville Hotel Nashville. Long before the gates opened, fans lined up downtown eager to secure a spot at Country music's premier pool party. The rooftop quickly reached capacity as Lynch delivered a crowd-pleasing set packed with fan favorites, joined by special guests David Lee Murphy and Two Friends. Returning Wheel-of-Fun activations including the fan-favorite Belly Flop Competition and Mullet Barber Bar helped transform the afternoon into another memorable installment of the now-annual CMA Fest tradition.

On Friday night, Lynch traded the rooftop for downtown nightlife, bringing his DUSTIN LYNCH NIGHTLIFE PARTY CLUB SET back to Barstool Nashville. Inspired by his ongoing WYNN NIGHTLIFE LAS VEGAS residency, the exclusive event showcased another side of the multi-PLATINUM entertainer as he took over the DJ booth for an explosive EDM set. Bryce Vine joined the festivities as fans packed the venue for one of CMA Fest's most talked-about late-night celebrations.

Together, the two events showcased the distinct space Lynch has created within Country music, blending the energy of a summer concert with the atmosphere of a nightlife destination. What began as fan events have evolved into annual CMA Fest traditions, drawing crowds year after year and cementing their place among the week's most anticipated experiences. Whether poolside under the Nashville sun or taking over the late-night scene downtown, Lynch once again delivered the kind of moments fans plan their festival weekend around.

IAN MUNSICK ANNOUNCES 4TH STUDIO ALBUM, THE MOUNTAIN GOAT, ARRIVING AUGUST 21, 2026

As one of modern country’s few Rocky Mountain artists – and the only one to merge its timeless traditions with an electrifying roots-pop edge – Wyoming native Ian Munsick has taken his music to the wild places few singer-songwriters go. With the announcement of his impending fourth studio album, The Mountain Goat, to fans during his fan club party at CMA Fest on Saturday (June 6), Munsick promises to continue doing just that. 
 
Munsick’s first full-length project released via WEST TO THE REST RECORDS / Triple Tigers Records – which he co-produced with Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson – The Mountain Goat arrives on August 21, 2026. Pre-save HERE. 
 
Along with co-producing the album, Munsick also played an extensive role in the instrumentation heard on the record. In total, Munsick is credited with playing nine different instruments: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bouzouki and kazoo, as well as lending background vocals and programming.
 
Reflecting on the creative process, Munsick shares, “‘Way up high in isolation, where most men dare not go…’ Since the very start of my musical journey I've always aspired to be an innovator. My voice has always been different so naturally, my music should be a little different too. When we started making this album, the relationship between my voice and the musical production was always at the forefront of the creative process. You'll hear modern sounds rooted in folky textures, soaked with steel guitar and, of course, plenty of fiddle. Melodies that will, hopefully, haunt you till the end of your days and lyrics that will take you to the place that inspires me most; the west. 
 
“These songs are dedicated to the land and the folks that live with it, not on it,” he adds. “Lord knows we need more of those in country music today. This album will take you horseback through pastures, prairies, up to the foothills, past the timberline and up to the summit... The Mountain Goat is waiting for you.”
 
As his single “Love Is Blind” continues to climb the charts at Country radio, Munsick will release his next song, “World War III,” off the 15-track album this Friday. Additionally, five D2C fan packs are available to pre-order on his online store, including an exclusive autographed zoetrope vinyl. Pre-order HERE.
 
Munsick promises to deliver fans a memorable tour of the west with a series of shows during album release week. As part of “The Road to The Mountain Goat,” Munsick just announced his official album release show will be held at Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater in Park City, Utah on August 22 as part of the Deer Valley Concert Series. 
 
“Some of my favorite shows I've ever played have been in Mountain Time. Home of the Rockies and some of my most die hard fans, I couldn't think of a better place to host my album release show than the gorgeous Deer Valley Amphitheater in Park City,” Munsick beams. “Utah ALWAYS shows up and sings every word to every song and come August 22nd, you'll have 15 more songs to sing along to. 
 
“The Road to The Mountain Goat includes stops in Nevada, Colorado (including the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater), New Mexico, Texas, South Dakota and, of course, Utah,” he adds. “If you've ever seen me and Rocky Mountain Fever live, you know these will be more than just shows.. they'll be experiences. Don't miss us on The Road to The Mountain Goat.”
 
Munsick is also partnering with The Landmark Hotel & Casino to open the Ian Munsick Cowboy Bar & Western Grill in August in Deadwood, S.D on September 18. Built between 1894-1920, The Landmark is Deadwood’s largest historic structure at approximately 35,000 square feet. The Ian Munsick Cowboy Bar & Western Grill will reside within over 2,600 square feet of the footprint. The venue will promote and celebrate country and western music with old school country bar decor, along with two performance stages, one indoors and one outdoors.

Aug 22 || Park City, UT || Deer Valley Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater

About Ian Munsick:
As one of modern country’s few Rocky Mountain artists – and the only one to merge its timeless traditions with an electrifying roots-pop edge – Wyoming native Ian Munsick lives in the wild places few singer-songwriters go. Yet with his fourth album, The Mountain Goat, he climbs farther out on his creative ledge than ever. Marking his first independent album on WEST TO THE REST RECORDS / Triple Tigers Records, Munsick remains as sure footed as his project’s fearless namesake, thriving in the isolation of a Western-flavored modern country frontier. Racking up over one billion career streams with previous albums Coyote Cry, White Buffalo, and Eagle Feather, Munsick has produced one RIAA-Platinum duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson) – No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown – plus two Gold-certified hits: “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Spotify, CMT, and the Grand Ole Opry were among those to recognize Munsick’s vision, and concertgoers across the globe have found a Western authenticity that can’t be faked. Munsick made history in 2025, becoming the first Wyoming-born artist to headline Cheyenne Frontier Days – the iconic rodeo known as the “Daddy of ‘Em All” – and with The Mountain Goat, his quest to bring Western mystique to modern fans continues. Fusing genuine tradition with cutting-edge sonics, 15 tracks feature an “earthy” new organic undercurrent, with the multi-instrumental master more connected to his acoustic roots – and more protective of his territory.

unpeople Announce Debut Album "we are unpeople" Set For 10/9 + New Single "friends" Out Now!

Today, rapidly ascending four-piece unpeople announce their unifying, genre-spanning debut album we are unpeople  out October 9 on SharpTone Records, which takes the philosophy behind the band's name and turns it into a powerful, uncompromising statement of intent.

The announcement is accompanied by brand new single "friends" — listen below.

"'friends' is essentially a love song from the perspective of someone who is wholly skeptical about the very concept of love and what it's come to mean in a modern context," explains vocalist Jake Crawford. "I am essentially saying I am going to kill the very concept of love before it's even had a chance to get a hold of me - I am that afraid of being that vulnerable. I'd rather not bother than risk saying something I don’t mean, and then pay for it emotionally down the line. I'm fully aware that this is not necessarily healthy, but the mind takes you to some strange places when strong feelings are involved."

A seamless ability to connect across boundaries and conjure communal spirit, sits at the very heart of this debut album. Built upon massive choruses, four-part vocal harmonies, and unabated heaviness, we are unpeople captures a band whose ambition is matched by their belief in the power of music to unite people.

With stadium-busting choruses,to '00s Reuben-esque mega riffs, and the stunningly unpredictable eccentricity of System Of A Down, the album is colorful and joyous, yet aggressive and intense, having already spawned infectious tasters that include "clouds," "the garden," and "waste."

Comprised of Jake Crawford, Luke Caley, Em Lodge, and Richard Rayner,unpeople have quickly established themselves as one of the UK's most exciting new alternative bands, earning themselves a reputation for creating music that feels equally at home on the biggest rock stages and the heaviest festival bills — having fittingly been described as the lightest band at Bloodstock, and the heaviest band at Kendal Calling — finding themselves equally at home in both settings.

Originally used to describe those considered politically unimportant or without value, the term "unpeople" has since become another way to dismiss those whose views differ from our own. The band have reclaimed the phrase entirely, transforming it into a celebration of shared humanity, individuality, and belonging.

Since forming in 2023, that approach has seen unpeople rise at remarkable speed, with Kerrang! hailing them as "one of alternative music's best new bands." Live, they've opened for Metallica in Vienna, shared bills with Smashing Pumpkins andCoheed & Cambria, drawn huge crowds at 2000trees, and will a perform a landmark Main Stage-opening set at Download Festival this weekend — as well as appearances at Reading & Leeds Festival, Copenhell, Hurricane, Southside & many more this summer.

The rest of 2026 and beyond is there for the taking for a band rapidly on the ascension. "'we are unpeople is released into the world on October 9 and we couldn’t be more proud of it," says the band. "We collectively put our absolute everything into it and we can’t wait to share it with you all!

we are unpeople.
you are unpeople.
we are all unpeople."

South Arcade Reveal New Single "Deadmeat"

About to embark on a massive summer of festivals, shows, and more music, South Arcade are back with their latest single, "DEADMEAT." The track is available now on all streaming platforms via BKM in partnership with Atlantic Records. Listen Below.

Speaking of the new single, the band says, "We went into writing wanting to tell a sort of modern Romeo and Juliet story (but with a less depressing ending), and we left with 'DEADMEAT.' It has this reckless optimism about it where the two characters' worlds shouldn't really overlap but they've found each other regardless — they want to escape all of that noise, steal a car, and leave town. It had this 'Us against the world' energy that we loved."

The energetic track shows a playful side to the band while keeping their signature sound. The four-piece have revealed the single ahead of a summer packed of festivals including playing mainstage at Download, Rock 4 People, and TRNSMT before heading to the U.S. later this month for the Idobi Summer School Tour and the iconic Vans Warped Tour (see full itinerary below). Recently finishing the huge UK and EU arena tour with global band 5 Seconds Of Summer, South Arcade teased fans with "DEADMEAT," building huge anticipation for the release.

"DEADMEAT" follows on from last single "SUPERMAN" which was released in April and became the band's biggest streaming debut to date with over 1.5 million streams on Spotify alone. The band recently announced their biggest headline show to date, playing the iconic O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 25, 2027, marking a huge milestone in their already incredibly impressive career. The last few remaining tickets are available here.

Named one of "the most exciting rising artists to watch in 2026" by Alternative Press, South Arcade are conquering all areas of the industry, amassing over 180 million global streams, building a social following of over 2.2 million fans across socials, and completely selling out their first-ever North American headline tour last fall. 

Hot off the heels of EPs PLAY! and 2005, both championed relentlessly by BBC Radio 1 across multiple shows, South Arcade have made the kind of noise that's impossible to ignore. With standout cuts "FEAR OF HEIGHTS," "Supermodels," and "Drive Myself Home" turning heads, they're taking over the alternative scene and the loudest chapters are still to come...

Metalcore Band Provenance Release New Single + Music Video "Broken Bonds" via Arson Theory

Massachusetts metalcore band Provenance have released their powerful new single, "Broken Bonds," alongside an accompanying music video that brings the song's themes of betrayal, abandonment, and emotional turmoil to life.

Released via Arson Theory, the four-piece metalcore band from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, formed in 2025 and has quickly begun carving out its place in the modern heavy music scene with an aggressive sound.

At the heart of "Broken Bonds" is a deeply personal message about being left behind when support is needed most. The song's emotional centerpiece arrives in the lyric, "You watched the whole world fall around me," which perfectly captures the song's central theme of feeling abandoned by someone who was expected to stand by your side.

"'You watched the whole world fall around me' heavily reinforces the overall feeling of this song and what it's about being let down and abandoned by someone you counted on for support," says the band.

With "Broken Bonds," Provenance continue to establish themselves as a promising new voice in the metalcore scene, delivering music that resonates with listeners facing their own struggles with loss, disappointment, and fractured relationships.

"Broken Bonds" and its official music video are available now on all major streaming and video platforms.

We believe these songs embody our journey from the very beginning to now, everything we have experienced over the past decade translated into twelve tracks. The first of which is 'One by One,' just under 4 minutes of riffs, grooves, and aggression Guilt Trip have come to be known for.

ABOUT GUILT TRIP:
Historically, Manchester, UK breeds a certain toughness. As a pillar of the 19th century Industrial Revolution in Northern England, factories and warehouses line much of the city's rain-baptized topography. A hardworking lot who shoot straight without apology, its denizens traditionally take an incredible amount of pride in where they come from. Embodying the grit and gusto of Manchester, UK, Guilt Trip bring a blast of homegrown intensity to their hybrid of hardcore and metal. The five piece slide striking melodies in between throat-slitting thrashy riffs and earth-splitting breakdowns. Guilt Trip started to forge a seething signature style without comparison back in 2015. They dropped the Unrelenting Force EP [2016] followed by River of Lies [2019]. The latter spawned "Thin Ice," which reeled in 7.1 million Spotify streams and counting. 2023's Severance marked a turning point. It boasted popular collaborations with LANDMVRKS and Malevolence. KERRANG!hailed their "unique brand of hardcore that sees them delve into elements of thrash, old-school hardcore and fist-pumping metal." Beyond sharing the stage with everyone from Sylosis to While She Sleeps, they lit up festivals, including Download and Hellfest. Attracting Roadrunner Records to their corner, the musicians decamped to StudioOWZ in Clarbeston Wales with producer and engineer Adam "Nolly" Getgood [Periphery] during early 2025 to record their debut LP for Roadrunner Records, Armour Of Angels. They bulldozed the way for the release with the God Forgives EP, which incited the applause of Rock Sound, BLUNT, and CLASH. With Armour Of Angels, they're primed to make Manchester proud as they make a lasting imprint on heavy music.
