IN THIS MOMENT KICK OFF NEXT ERA WITH NEW SINGLE + MUSIC VIDEO "CRAWL" — WATCH // NEW ALBUM "WITCH" OUT 8/28

IN THIS MOMENT, the GRAMMY® Award-nominated, multi-platinum heavy alternative force of nature, return today with a new single and music video entitled "Crawl." Listen HERE. Watch the music video BELOW.

Most importantly, however, it heralds the arrival of their ninth full-length offering and debut LP for Better Noise Music, WITCH, on AUGUST 28. Pre-order + pre-save HERE.

"Crawl" seethes and surges in signature IN THIS MOMENT style. Anchored by a gut-punching riff and seismic vocals courtesy of inimitable frontwoman MARIA BRINK, the song sets its hooks in, holds tight, and never lets go. It's worthy of obsessing over—like all of the group's best material over the years.

About the track, IN THIS MOMENT, Brink offers, "'Crawl' is a reckoning — a reflection that those who dominate and cause pain will ultimately reap what they sow. As above, so below. The fall is inevitable. Bearing witness to the harm they inflict, the song declares that those who once stood tall will be brought to their knees."

Co-founder and guitarist CHRIS HOWORTH furthers, "'Crawl' is a visceral track that delivers the undeniable observation of powerful entities dominating and abusing the weaker and compromised masses — something that continues to repeat itself throughout human history. The song empowers and, at its core, is about standing up and fighting back." 

However, it's just the beginning. WITCH showcases every side of IN THIS MOMENT: The fury, the femininity, and the fire. It's an 11-track opus that does not relent in intensity and introspection. However, the band didn’t go it alone. This time around, the band tapped friends Dayseeker for "I Want To Believe,"; Kim Dracula for "Heretic,"; and Kat Von D for a cover of the Pink Floyd classic "Another Brick In The Wall." 

"WITCH is my declaration of inner transformation," states Brink. "It's about embracing the duality within — taking pain, persecution, and struggle — and alchemizing them into strength and power. The album reflects both ancient trials and my own journey — where being a 'witch' means being a creator, connected to the universe, manifesting my own reality."

The spell has been cast. Allow WITCH to possess you.

ITM teased this chapter with "Sleeping With The Enemy." Beyond reeling in over 1 million streams, it earned critical acclaim. Rock Sound hailed it as “blistering,” and Revolver plugged its power.

Led by the magnetic presence of Brink, the band has turned its fusion of spectacle, vulnerability, and massive melodic hooks into a global phenomenon, earning platinum-certified success and more than two billion career streams along the way.

IN THIS MOMENT will tour this fall as part of Taste Of Chaos. All dates are below.

MOONSPELL Announce North American Tour as Special Guests of CRADLE OF FILTH

Fresh off the release of their brand-new, internationally acclaimed studio album Far From God via Napalm Records, Portuguese gothic metal pioneers MOONSPELL have announced their long-awaited return to North America this fall as special guests of extreme metal legends CRADLE OF FILTH. The extensive U.S. and Canadian run will also feature WORM GLOOM and BLACK SATELLITE, bringing one of the season's most compelling dark and extreme metal packages to stages across the continent.

Armed with songs from their latest offering Far From God alongside fan favorites and timeless classics, MOONSPELL will also celebrate the 30th anniversary of their landmark album Irreligious, delivering a set that spans the band's remarkable career.

Fernando Ribeiro comments:
"Moonspell and Cradle of Filth, came a long way… We first played together in 1994 and since then we've sharing stages all around the globe. It's also our return to the North America and we sure want to make it count! Cradle is on a creative and touring roll so we’ll try to get ourselves some of their charm and deliver you amazing nights to the sound of our very own Portugal brand of Gothic Metal. We’ll be promoting our new album Far from God, the 30th anniversary or Irreligious and will go deep into our history and legacy. See you under the spell!"

Local Ticket Presales start on Thursday, July 16 at 10am local time
Public On Sale: Friday, July 17 at 10am local time

Released on July 3, 2026 via Napalm Records, Far From God has quickly established itself as one of MOONSPELL's most celebrated works to date. The album earned several international cover stories and entered the charts at #3 in Portugal, #19 in Austria, #27 in Germany, #46 in Switzerland, and reached #22 on the French Rock & Metal Albums Charts, underscoring both the band's enduring international appeal and the overwhelming response from fans and critics alike.

Born out of five years of creative searching, doubt and ultimate rediscovery, Far From God marks a powerful return for the band. Far from playing it safe, MOONSPELL deliver a work that feels like a rebirth: darker, sharper and emotionally unfiltered. Rather than bending to modern trends, the band double down on identity and substance, presenting a bold and beautiful statement of Gothic Metal in its purest essence: dark, romantic, dramatic and unapologetically heavy.

Far from God – produced with Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Sólstafir, Ghost among many others) – shines like a black diamond, luminous yet shadowed in texture and colour, both musically and sonically. It reconnects with the darker spirit of MOONSPELL's classic era while sounding powerful and contemporary. Far From God is not nostalgia; it is a statement. A Gothic Metal hallelujah. MOONSPELL's 21st century Irreligious. It's not only a powerful reminder that MOONSPELL remain a defining force in the genre they helped shape, but an album that truly saves Gothic Metal from boredom and predictability.

Get Far From God HERE!

OCEAN SLEEPER Release "My Forever Drug"

Regional Victorian metalcore four-piece Ocean Sleeper today reveals the third taste from their forthcoming sophomore album Peace When I'm Deadout August 21, in the form of new single "My Forever Drug." Listen below.

"My Forever Drug" was written in collaboration with Ocean Sleeper and L.A. producers Jon Lundin (Point North, Sleeping With Sirens) and Curt Martin (Catch Your Breath, Kami Kehoe). It was engineered in Melbourne at Ocean Sleeper guitarist and clean vocalist's Ionei Heckenberg's Studio and mixed and mastered in Portland by Jeff Dunne (Wage War, Knocked Loose, Motionless In White, Disturbed).

Right before kicking off their US tour last year, the band holed up in L.A. to write. It was the band's final day in the US, and a session that almost didn't happen at all. A chance, last-minute call brought them together with Jon Lundin (co-writer on "Break The Cycle") and Curt Martin at Curt's L.A. studio. What followed was pure lightning in a bottle: "My Forever Drug" was written, recorded, and finished, start to finish, in just six hours. No overthinking it, no second-guessing — just a song that showed up fully formed and got out of its own way.

Arriving alongside a haunting music video that completes a three-part narrative journey — one that began with their debut single "Break The Cycle" and continued through "Peace When I'm Dead." The visual pulls no punches, portraying a man trapped in an agonizing time loop, forced to relive the same devastating moment again and again: The loss of his partner to suicide. True to form, Ocean Sleeper refuse to look away from life's darkest corners. With "My Forever Drug" and its gut-wrenching accompanying video, the band once again prove their rare gift for confronting the heaviest, most deeply buried emotions — naming them, honoring them, and setting them free into the world so others might find their own reflection in the pain.

"My Forever Drug" is the final single to arrive prior to the release of Ocean Sleeper's sophomore album Peace When I'm Dead. Capturing the weight of grief, guilt and regret, Peace When I'm Dead showcases Ocean Sleeper's ability to vulnerably explore the darker corners of the human experience, confronting inner turmoil, depression and profound emotional lows head on. The exploration of acknowledging, expressing and releasing deeply felt negative emotions gives Ocean Sleeper's music a great sense of catharsis and connection. 

"After finally breaking into global touring and just returning from another tour throughout the UK and Europe, it gives new meanings in multitudes, appreciation and gratitude for people connecting with our songs," says Karl Spiessl, Ocean Sleeper's vocalist and manager. "Playing the sold out shows overseas and having people already knowing every word to the new songs as well as the old songs is an incredible feeling."

Having fully warmed up on their recent UK/EU tour, Ocean Sleeper will treat Australian fans this September when they hit the road on the Peace When I'm Dead Tour presented by New World Artists and Fireball AU. Their biggest national headline tour begins at Liberty Hall in Sydney on Friday 4th September, hitting The Princess Theatre in Brisbane on Saturday 5th (SOLD OUT), Magnet House in Perth on Thursday 10th, Hindley St Music Hall in Adelaide on Friday 11th, and ending with a massive home state show at the Forum in Melbourne on Saturday 12th September. With Brisbane sold out and tickets to remaining shows flying, fans are urged to get in quickly to avoid missing out. These shows mark just 5 of the 82 shows the band will play across the world in 2026/2027. 

Ocean Sleeper hails from Gippsland in regional Victoria and now stands as the region's biggest and one of the country's most exciting metalcore exports. Their background is core to their identity and the deep connection they share with fans. Despite hailing from a small country town, Ocean Sleeper have never let geographical limits stand in their way — tearing down barriers and defying expectations at every turn. Through fierce self-sufficiency and brutal persistence, the metalcore four-piece have built a vehemently loyal fan base and following throughout Australia, the U.S., and Europe.

GLORYHAMMER Release Video for New Single "Ultimate Sacrifice"

Power metal heroes GLORYHAMMER share the first single off of their upcoming album, Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath, coming October 16 via Napalm Records.

"Ultimate Sacrifice" is a sweeping track filled with epic storytelling. Elder God Kor-Virliath is back to conquer the universe after Zargothrax’s failed ritual, and the Space Kingdom of Fife seems forsaken. But GLORYHAMMER are ready to fight and tell the tale of one of the biggest battles yet — the choirs and orchestral arrangements of "Ultimate Sacrifice" are a first glimpse into the more diverse range of influences and higher production value that the band brings to their catchy songwriting on Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath. The new track is accompanied by an animated video directed by Alex Henderson. In the style of a TV series, it follows the summoning of Kor-Virliath and the heroes' quest to fight him – to the bitter end.

GLORYHAMMER about "Ultimate Sacrifice":
"Mighty warriors! Prepare for battles of galactic steel! Will Angus McFife V fulfill his dream of flying away on a unicorn? What was the true fate of the Hootsman after he imploded? Find out now, in the next episode of GLORYHAMMER!"

Watch the Animated Video for "Ultimate Sacrifice" Below:

The enemies of Dundee tremble as exalted power metal heroes GLORYHAMMER announce their long-awaited fifth album, Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath! Due for release on October 16 via Napalm Records, the album is a direct sequel to 2015's Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards, continuing the epic saga of the McFife dynasty. Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath follows Angus McFife V, the Crown Prince of Fife last seen in 2022's single "Fly Away," as he ventures into a perilous journey across spacetime that will lead him to the distant future of 1993, where his destiny lies.

Across 11 tracks, the band of heroes draws upon a more diverse range of influences than ever before, without ever compromising on the hook-driven, memorable songwriting that they are known for. From classic power metal to thrash, high energy synth rock to vast, sweeping orchestral soundscapes and more. Produced by the band themselves and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe), this is GLORYHAMMER as you've never heard them before.

Will Angus and his allies prevail in this titanic struggle? Or will the galaxy plunge into demonic chaos? Join GLORYHAMMER and find out – For the Eternal Glory of Dundee!

GLORYHAMMER about the new album:
"Mighty warriors, rejoice! The almighty GLORYHAMMER return triumphantly with a new chapter in the long and tumultuous history of the Intergalactic Empire of Fife. Multidimensional wormholes, abandoned space stations, and EPIC BATTLES await at the final frontier of Space 1993. FOR THE ETERNAL GLORY OF DUNDEE!"

Iconic Hard Rockers NIGHT RANGER Share Newly Remastered Single "Sister Christian (2026)" + Visualizer

Today, hard rock legends NIGHT RANGER are proud to share the newly remastered version of their classic power ballad, "Sister Christian (2026)," taken from their upcoming ‘Best Of’ album, set for release on August 28th via Frontiers Music Srl. The new single arrives alongside an official visualizer, available below.

'Best Of' features newly remixed & remastered versions of classic hits spanning NIGHT RANGER’s illustrious career, alongside some standout tracks from the band’s more recent releases. The album will be released on both CD and Vinyl. The double LP is available in 3 different colors: black, gold, & orange splatter.

"The new 'Best Of' is a celebration of not only our classic hits but also what we’ve created over the last 20 years. And we’re just gonna keep cranking it cause we’re having too much fun to stop! So enjoy the ride and see ya on the road!” Jack Blades

Watch the Visualizer for "Sister Christian (2026)" Below:

Few bands have defined the sound of American melodic rock quite like NIGHT RANGER. From the soaring anthem of “Sister Christian” to the thunderous riffs of “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me," and fan favorites like “You Can Still) Rock in America” this album’s ‘Best Of’ collection captures the very essence of their decades-long career — now refreshed for 2026.

Featuring the classic hits alongside standout tracks from their more recent albums, this compilation spans the full spectrum of NIGHT RANGER’s signature sound: anthemic choruses, blazing guitar solos, and unforgettable melodies. Highlights include the power-pop perfection of “(You Can Still) Rock in America,” the heartfelt balladry of “When You Close Your Eyes,” and the cinematic sweep of “Four in the Morning.”

But the ‘Best Of’ is not just a look back. It also celebrates the band’s creative output over the last 20 years, spotlighting tracks like “Time of Our Lives,” “High Road,” “No Time to Lose,” “Somehow Someway,” and “Truth,” proving that NIGHT RANGER’s energy, songwriting, and musicianship have only grown stronger with time. These songs show that the band continues to innovate while staying true to the melodic rock roots that made them legendary.

The band — Jack Blades (bass and vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums and vocals), Brad Gillis(guitars), Eric Levy (keyboards), and Keri Kelli (guitars) — delivers every track with the energy and precision that have kept NIGHT RANGER at the forefront of rock for more than four decades.

This ‘Best Of” album also features two bonus tracks that make this collection of songs truly special: a fresh take on “Wasted Time” recorded live off the floor at Sweetwater Studios, also accompanied by an exclusive music video, and a festive live performance of “Feliz Navidad” that showcases the band’s playful side.

Perfectly timed ahead of their summer 2026 tour, this ‘Best Of’ album serves as both a definitive introduction for new fans and a must-have collection for longtime followers. Whether revisiting the classics or discovering the new 2026 remasters, NIGHT RANGER’s ‘Best Of’ is a celebration of enduring melodies, electrifying performances, and the unforgettable spirit of one of rock’s most iconic bands.

The Stevenson Ranch Davidians return with radiant single 'Love, Light, Beauty & Truth'

New York-based collective The Stevenson Ranch Davidians embrace hope, resilience and timeless psychedelic soul on their luminous new single 'Love, Light, Beauty & Truth', with accompanying video by Jacob Kedzierski.

Blending the rich traditions of '60s psych, folk and soul, woven with strands of early American roots music, this is a stirring reminder of the enduring power of the human spirit and its endless emanation throughout the ages into the face of an ancient and unrelenting evil.

Steeped in the aura of the perennially mythologized psychedelic culture of Southern California, The Stevenson Ranch Davidians has revealed itself in shifting configurations, their sound balances spiritual yearning with earthy authenticity. While the lineup has continually coalesced around lead singer-songwriter Dwayne Seagraves and bassist Jessica Latiolait, the collective has always had a guiding vision and goal: to create music that seeks to simultaneously demystify and deify the human experience.

The other members bring a range of talent, experience, and inspiration, including producer and longtime Brian Jonestown Massacre member Rob Campanella on guitar and lap steel, British drummer Misha Bullock, and Sara Minsavage on keyboards, shakes and jangles. On the current single, Andy Campanella also contributes background vocals..

"This song is from a collection of material that was recorded in the spring of 2019, just over a year after the release of our last LP, 'Amerikana', and just under a year before the entire world was abruptly thrown into one of its darkest periods in modern history," says Dwayne Seagraves.

"To say that the music felt relevant at the time is an understatement, yet, somehow the time was not quite right for its release. Now here we are some seven years later and the songs’ relevance hasn’t faded. Maybe that makes it timeless. Maybe that’s exactly what we intended it to be."

Jessica Latiolait adds, "We will be releasing a series of brand-new singles over several months, each pulled from sessions we recorded back in 2019s. These songs have been waiting a long time to be heard, and we're excited to finally share them with you. We can't wait for you to hear what we've been holding onto all these years."

Following the release of their acclaimed third album 'Amerikana', the band embarked on two extensive European tours while also recording a full length collection of songs. The band began a monthly residency in the Bay Area until taking indefinite hiatus due to various governmental mandates during the Covid outbreak. In 2024, the band re-emerged to the live music circuit, touring with acts such as Micah Nelson and Particle Kid, Levitation Room and Habibi, while writing new material.

Most recently, The Stevenson Ranch Davidians have wrapped up recording their fourth full-length album at Rick Rubin’s Shangri-La Studio in Malibu, California, with its release planned for early-2027. 2026 also brings a string of performances, including three with Elephant Stone.
 
As of July 15, 'Love, Light, Beauty & Truth' is available on streaming platforms, including SpotifyApple Music and Bandcamp

Kami Kehoe Goes All In: "THE END" Out Now, New Album "LOVE IS A WEAPON" Coming August 28

Alt-rock star on the rise, Kami Kehoe, bares her heart on new single, "THE END", out now via Atlantic Records, alongside the announcement of her highly anticipated record, "LOVE IS A WEAPON", arriving on August 28th. Following the runaway success of her "KANDY" EP, which racked up millions of streams and over 100 million views in short form content, Kami Kehoe continues to raise the stakes with "LOVE IS A WEAPON", a full-length album rooted in a defining truth: love can destroy you, or it can rebuild you. Pre-save the upcoming album "LOVE IS A WEAPON" HERE.

Exploring the duality of love as both a source of empowerment and destruction, "LOVE IS A WEAPON" finds Kami Kehoe turning heartbreak, vulnerability, and resilience into 15 tracks that lean into danger and desire. Pivoting away from her "KANDY" EP, which chronicled heartbreak and healing,"THE END" builds on the central theme of devotion on the upcoming record, finding Kami Kehoe in the aching promise of loving someone throughout distance, doubt and everything in between.

Hot on the heels of her latest singles "DIRTY", "PSYCHO", smash hits "DOPAMINE" and "FADE OUT,", and a nationwide tour supporting Daughtry, Seether, and POD (which saw her regularly invited to join them on stage), Kami continues to cement her place as one of the genre's most magnetic rising voices. Named as one of Pandora's Artists to Watch in 2026 (The Pandora Ten) and continuing to rack up spins on Sirius XM's Octane, Kami is set to take on some of the country's biggest stages this fall as support for Breaking Benjamin.

With signature gritty guitars, atmospheric production, and Kami's evocative vocals, her smash hit, "FADE OUT" closed out 2025 as one of her most emotionally charged releases to date. The track capped off her "KANDY" EP era that documented the full arc of heartbreak and healing, garnering millions of streams, 100 million views in short form content, and viral popularity worldwide. Her hit single, "DOPAMINE", earned over 30 million streams and hit #11 on Sirius XM Octane's "Big Uns" Countdown, spotlighting her growth in the modern rock landscape.

Carving out her own space in the alt-rock world, Kami Kehoe has impressively amassed over 105 million streams and more than 2 million social media followers by blending a sultry, velvety vocal with a hard-charged rock energy. Since breaking out with the viral hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD”, she has continued to evolve her sound—infusing shoegaze, metal, and hip-hop influences into her music while remaining unapologetically authentic.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Kami Kehoe news coming very soon.

Adding to an already landmark year, Kami will be joining rock's most established names at Rock Fest (WI) this weekend before embarking on a run alongside Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Starset for a nationwide tour this fall, hitting Louisville's iconic Louder Than Life Festival along the way.

NAPALM DEATH Make History With NPR Tiny Desk Performance

For more than four decades, NAPALM DEATH has challenged expectations and redefined the limits of extreme music. Now, the legendary UK grindcore pioneers have added another milestone to their storied career with an appearance on NPR Music's celebrated Tiny Desk concert series, bringing their uncompromising intensity to one of music's most unexpected stages.



Widely regarded as one of the heaviest acts ever to perform behind the iconic Tiny Desk, the band's set offers a rare glimpse of NAPALM DEATH in an intimate setting while proving that their relentless energy, razor-sharp musicianship, and socially conscious message resonate just as powerfully outside the walls of a packed club or festival stage.

NAPALM DEATH vocalist Barney Greenway comments:

"I've dipped in and out of Democracy Now! via NPR Radio for decades now to get my unvarnished yet thoughtful North American news. So when the NPR Tiny Desk thing came up, it kind of blew my tiny mind a little bit. We realised that we were going to reach far more people than usual with the TD performance, but as you might expect from Napalm Death, we were never going to temper the performance to any degree. We hope everybody at least gets something from it, even if it's just an understanding of musical abrasion being pushed to the nth degree. Please always support public access broadcasting in view of the ongoing relentless attacks upon it."

The performance was curated by NPR Music producer and writer Lars Gotrich, whose long-standing appreciation for heavy music helped make the appearance possible and further underscores the growing recognition of extreme music within the broader cultural landscape.

NPR Music's Lars Gotrich shares:

"The first grindcore band at the Tiny Desk had to be the founding fathers. I turned down or said 'maybe later' to so many others — that’s how important it was to me to get this right. There is only one NAPALM DEATH, not only exemplary of extreme music but also what it takes to be human in what feels like an inhumane time."

VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY Release Haunting Video For Album Title Track "Venceremos"

Greek heavy rock torchbearers VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY have unveiled an official music video for their monumental new single, "Venceremos," the powerful title track of their forthcoming studio album, set for release on September 18 via Napalm Records.

Standing at the emotional core of the record, "Venceremos" surges forward with dynamic shifts, crystal-clear vocal delivery, and a commanding crescendo that masterfully balances tension and release. Blending crushing heaviness with soaring bagpipe melodies and an unrelenting forward momentum, the epic title track captures the band's signature sound while delivering a powerful message of resilience, hope and perseverance.

The band comments:
""Venceremos" is a promise that even in the darkest moments, hope endures. 'Venceremos' isn't about winning; it's about refusing to break. It’s about resilience and overcoming fear, choosing to stand your ground, and believing that freedom, no matter how distant, it will come in the end."

Watch the haunting music video for "Venceremos" Below:

Set in a dystopian future shaped by illusion, control, and fear, Venceremos unfolds as a journey through exile, resistance and awakening. It follows those who rise against a broken world, rejecting gods and modern kings in order to reclaim freedom and meaning. Through struggles, hopes, fears, and deep reflections on existence, one truth remains constant: The quest is one, and its name is freedom.

Rather than bending to trends, VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY sharpen their identity. The upcoming album presents itself as heavy, direct, and intense, driven by a raw and immediate energy. It leans decisively into heavy rock and metal, pushing into more aggressive territory while unfolding with a genuinely progressive spirit, where each composition evolves with purpose and depth.

Ritualistic rhythms, expansive arrangements, and traditional instrumentation such as bagpipes and zourna are not mere embellishments, but essential elements of the band's sonic language. Folk and Hellenic elements meet powerful riffs and dynamic structures in a sound that feels direct, distinctive and entirely their own.

Produced and recorded by Alex Karametis at Magnanimous X Studio in Greece, and mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Venceremos captures clarity and depth in equal measure. With this release, VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY deliver a powerful statement and a journey through darkness, defiance and the unbreakable force of rebellion. As one of the key names in post-stoner and heavy prog rock, the band once again reinforces their place within the scene, with Venceremos standing as a defining step in their ongoing evolution. 

Pre-order Venceremos HERE.

In support of Venceremos, VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY will play an album release show in Athens taking place on September 20 at the Lycabettus Theatre, one of the city's most legendary open-air venues, before the band embarks on a series of shows across Greece's major cities and an extensive European Tour in March 2027 with dates to be announced soon.

VILLAGERS OF IOANNINA CITY ARE:
Alex Karametis — Vocals, Guitars, Synths
Akis Zois — Bass
Aris Giannopoulos — Drums
Dimitris Brentas — Winds

Shock Rock Legends GWAR Celebrate 20th Anniversary of ‘Beyond Hell’ with Fully Remastered Deluxe Edition on September 25th via Pit Records

Two decades after dragging listeners into the depths of the underworld, GWAR are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2006 opus ‘Beyond Hell’ with a newly remastered deluxe edition, available for the first time ever on vinyl. The album is set for release on September 25th via the band's own Pit Records.

Remastered by Paul Logus (Anthrax, Killswitch Engage), the anniversary edition breathes new life into one of the band's most ambitious and theatrical releases. Alongside the remastered album, the release also includes a previously unreleased outro track recorded during the original ‘Beyond Hell’ sessions that was left off the original release.

Marking the announcement, the band also shares the remastered version of "Eighth Lock,"alongside it's long-lost music video, available below.

Check Out the Official Video for "Eighth Lock" (Remastered) Below:

Originally released in 2006, 'Beyond Hell' marked a defining moment in GWAR's legendary career. Produced by Devin Townsend, the album brought together two of metal's most unique creative forces, with Townsend helping shape one of the band's most ambitious and beloved releases.

"I had been a GWAR fan since I was a kid. I loved the freedom, the metal, the spectacle, and the passion that went into it all," recalls Townsend. "I met Brockie on a tour we did together and, after cornering him in an elevator basically telling him I'd work for free, I found myself co-producing 'Beyond Hell.' Dave and Corey came to Vancouver to stay with me, and we recorded at Profile Studios. The drums and basic tracks were done at Slave Pit in Richmond, Virginia, and the whole process took about three months."

He continues, "GWAR were, and are, an amazing combination of artistic freedom, absurdity, and hard work bundled up with metal and performance. Loved them then, love them now."

Chronicling the band's descent into Hell to rescue their long-lost comrade Flattus Maximus,'Beyond Hell' remains one of GWAR's defining releases, featuring fan favorites including "Back in Crack," "Womb With a View," "Tormentor," and "The Ultimate Bohab."

Twenty years later, 'Beyond Hell' is ready to rise once again, louder, heavier, and more gloriously blasphemous than ever before.

Pre-Order the 'Beyond Hell' 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition HERE

The first ever vinyl pressing of 'Beyond Hell' arrives on 180-gram vinyl housed in an elaborate tri-fold jacket that unfolds into an inverted cross. The CD edition also receives the deluxe treatment, featuring a fold-out poster.

The standard Gold vinyl edition will be limited to 2,000 copies. Fans looking for something even more exclusive can pick up the "Blood Moon" vinyl variant, limited to just 300 copies, exclusively at GWAR.net, while Metal Injection will offer an exclusive "Blood Smear" vinyl variant, limited to only 200 copies.

GWAR hits the road again starting in August with a slate of festival appearances, including Endless Fires Fest, Louder Than Life, and Riot Fest, followed by a brief headline run with support from Weedeater and BRAT. The Scumdogs will then embark on the "Gor Gor Must Die!" Tour featuring direct support from Midnight, with Mac Sabbath opening every night and X-COPS and Atomic Rule joining on select dates.

Bay Area Thrash Legends HEATHEN Celebrate Iron Maiden's 50th Anniversary With Incendiary Cover of "The Prisoner"

Quickly following their triumphant returning single "Never A God" earlier this year, Bay Area thrash legends HEATHEN break back out with another offering.

In celebration of the mighty Iron Maiden's 50th anniversary, HEATHEN have taken a stab at the Number of The Beast classic, "The Prisoner." Pulling samples from the TV show of the same name, enlisting artist Dan Goldsworthy (known for his work with Accept, Inhuman Condition, and Haken) to Eddie-ify the goblin from "Goblin's Blade"—a callback to their HEATHEN's 1987 record Breaking The Silence—and reworking their logo to look like Maiden's, HEATHEN pull out all the stops to ensure this was more than just homage. Mixed and mastered by Zeuss at Planet Z (known for his work with 3 Inches of Blood, Municipal Waste, and Shadows Fall, amongst others), the lively track showcases HEATHEN's studied reverence of the subject material, unleashing metal greatness with a modern edge and seasoned orchestration. 

About the track guitarist Kragen Lum says:
"What can we say about the legendary Iron Maiden that hasn't already been said? They've given us 50 years of energetic, melodic metal that's inspired Heathen and legions of other bands in the genre. 'The Prisoner' was an easy choice for us to cover, with its heavy intro, uptempo verses, catchy chorus, and classic instrumental section. We added a few touches to 'Heathenize' the song while staying true to what made it so great when it was first released in 1982. Enjoy this recording as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of heavy metal's greatest bands. Up the Irons!"

This cover comes right in time for the band's extensive North American tour encompassing two legs. The first opening for fellow thrash greats Metal Church, followed by a string of headlining dates over Louisiana horror thrashers Void. Kicking off July 17 in Derry, NH the tour supporting Metal Church will hit a series of major cities including Montreal, QC, Pittsburgh, PA, and Rochester, NY before its conclusion July 26 in Leesburg, VA. Not missing a beat, HEATHEN picks up Void for their headline run kicking off the next day in Raleigh, NC on July 27. The headline run will hit a slew of intimate venues in major cities including Atlanta, GA, Philadelphia, PA, Milwaukee, WI, and Detroit, MI before wrapping up on August 9 in Toronto, ON.

About the tour the band says:
"We're stoked to join the legendary Metal Church on this short tour of the Northeastern U.S. and Canada. We'll be bringing our A-game for these shows before heading out on a run of headlining dates across the Midwest, Northeast, and Canada with the killer Void as direct support. We've put together a set packed with classics, fan favorites, and a few surprises that you won’t want to miss. Grab your tickets, and we'll see you in the pit!"

JAH WOBBLE & TIAN QIYI recast 'Strawberry Fields Forever', heralding 'Mystic Liverpool' album

Legendary bassist and producer Jah Wobble and Liverpool-based duo Tian Qiyipresent 'Strawberry Fields Forever', ushering in their new album 'Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles' Psychedelic Psongbook', out August 14th via Cherry Red Records and Wobble's label 30 Hertz. Previewed by the lead track 'Tomorrow Never Knows', this is a deeply personal reimagining of The Beatles’ psychedelic period, these songs are framed within a soundscape of Chinese, Mongolian and dub traditions.

These songs may have been penned by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, but Jah Wobble (aka John Wardle) and his sons John T Wardle and Charlie Wardle (aka Tian Qiyi) have made these songs uniquely their own. 'Mystic Liverpool' draws on Wobble’s signature dub bass, John T’s drums, Chinese percussion and yangqin, and Charlie’s erhu and vocals, while 'Strawberry Fields Forever' sees Charlie play morin khuur with the boys' mother Zi Lan Liao — a Royal Academy of Music–trained harpist and the most recognized gu-zheng performer worldwide — joining on gu-zheng.

Jah Wobble is a founding member of Public Image Ltd (PiL) and formed Invaders of the Heart in 1982. In his 50-year career, he has achieved chart success, a Mercury Music Prize nomination and a rich discography. He has collaborated with Can's Holger CzukayJaki LiebezeitU2's The Edge and producer François Kevorkian, in addition to Sinéad O’Connor, Massive Attack, Ginger Baker, Björk, Brian Eno, Pharoah Sanders and, most recently, Horace Andy on his 'Timeless Roots' album, Ken Boothe on his 'Old Fashioned Ways' album, and Jon Klein on the 'Automated Paradise' album.

Tian Qiyi takes their name from John T Wardle and Charlie Wardle's Chinese middle names, Tian Qi and Tian Yi. Meshing British, Chinese, Mongolian and dub traditions, their music bridges cultures to forge a sound that also weaves in post-punk and experimental production, their sound imbued with magnetic tension between ancient tradition and dub futurism, East and West, land and spirit.

"This is the one that started everything for me — the song that opened my psyche as a small boy in the East End. So it was always going to be the centrepiece of this record. It’s a family track in every sense with Charlie on erhu, morin khuur and vocals, John T on drums and yangqin, and Zi Lan on guzheng," says Jah Wobble.  

"The dub sensibility runs right through it — there’s a lot of space in the mix, a lot of trust in the listener. I don’t think we’ve tried to compete with the original. What we’ve done, I hope, is honour the mystery of it — let it breathe in a slightly different room, with different instruments, and see what happens. It still feels like more than music to me."

JAH WOBBLE TOUR DATES
AUG 14–16 - Suffield, UK @ The Suffield Arms (Suffield Summer ¡Fiesta! 2026)
OCT 3 - Stourbridge, UK @ Katie Fitzgerald's
OCT 16 - Todmorden, UK @ Unitarian Church

MULTI-PLATINUM COUNTRY ROCKER BRANTLEY GILBERT EXTENDS HEADLINING REAL AMERICAN TOUR

As he readies the release of his eighth studio album SINS OF THE FATHER for Friday, July 24, multi-Platinum trailblazer Brantley Gilbert announces additional tour stops, extending his headlining Real American Tour through November 2026. With direct support from John Morgan, along with Jay Webb and Atlus on select dates, the newly announced dates include stops in Boston, Mass., Savannah, Ga., Cincinnati, Ohio, Biloxi, Miss. and more.

General on sale begins this Friday, July 17 at 10am local time at BrantleyGilbert.com. Fan club members in the Gold & Silver tiers can begin purchasing tickets tomorrow, July 14 at 10am local time and Bronze can begin purchasing tickets Wednesday, July 15 at 10am local time. Pre-sales will run through Thursday, July 16 at 10pm local time.

On Father’s Day, Gilbert released two new tracks from his forthcoming album: title track “SINS OF THE FATHER” and “GOOD OL’ BOYS,” which followed lead single “GOOD DAMN,” currently climbing the charts at Country radio, and the deeply personal “F****D ME UP,” with MusicRow praising, “his gripping, broken vocal on this ballad grabs ahold and doesn’t let go…it’s a powerful thing.” 

No stranger to pushing country’s evolutionary curve, SINS OF THE FATHER goes beyond sonic innovation, to confront the ugly truth. Fusing heartfelt country values with explosive energy and barbed-wire R&B swagger, he describes the project as a deeply personal playlist, once again ready to meet fans where they are.
 
“As long as there’s a box in country music, I know where I belong,” the Georgia-born hitmaker says. “And that’s right on the outside of it. All of my albums are a chapter of my life and this one’s no different. I don’t have skeletons in the closet – my shit’s out in the open. So if there’s any piece of my story that could help somebody, I’m cheating them if I keep it to myself.”
 
Co-produced with rock-schooled collaborator Brock Berryhill (Twenty One Pilots, Kane Brown), SINS OF THE FATHER marks some of the hardest-hitting work of Gilbert’s career, yet the diesel-fueled two-lane trap he helped pioneer is never far away. Bottomless distortion and pounding drums join melodic, gravel-road grooves, while the bare bones of country soul turn painful realities into three-chords-and-the-truth.
 
He also launched Real American Beer Zero after becoming an investor and equity partner of Real American Beer (RAB). RAB Zero is the company’s first non-alcoholic beer with $1 per case sold of RAB Zero going to the USO in addition to ongoing donations tied directly to sales, supporting active-duty service members and their families.

Teen Mortgage Release KEXP Live Session

With a blistering, no-frills assault, Washington, DC punk duo TEEN MORTGAGE —guitarist/vocalist James Guile and drummer Ed Barakauskas — deliver raw, fuzzed-out riffs over pounding, minimalist drums, locking into a relentless groove that feels equal parts grit-infused punk and hardcore urgency. Their recent live performance at alt-favorite KEXP is sweaty, stripped-down, and confrontational, with zero dead space — just pure, amplified energy from start to finish. Recorded during their successful Spring 2026 tour run with Joyce Manor, the KEXP team captured the essence of the D.C. duo's DIY ethos in one of the most impressive displays of punk rock of recent memory.

Watch the TEEN MORTGAGE x KEXP session below:

For those hooked by TEEN MORTGAGE's live performance, the band comes stacked with a round of new tour dates, including stops at this summer's Rocklahoma (Pryor, OK), Riot Fest (Chicago, IL), Vans Warped Tour (Orlando, FL) and more. TEEN MORTGAGE will be joining punk rock mainstays, Rise Against and Alkaline Trio, for a trip around the States starting September 22 in Dallas, TX. All dates are below.

Ready to take their debut Roadrunner Records LP, Devil Ultrasonic Dream, on the road again, in addition to crowd favorites like the newly released single, “Burn”, fans will also be treated to a brand new track, "Democracy Manifest," premiering worldwide August 7 and on stage at Portugal’s SonicBlast Festival.

For rock fans still chasing that jolt of something real, loud, and dangerous, TEEN MORTGAGE aren't asking for your attention — they are demanding it. As the genre evolves, the duo stand at the front of the charge, and ignoring them isn't just a miss, it's a mistake.

Omen//Skye Release New Single + Video "Further" via Arson Theory

Maryland-based metalcore outfit Omen//Skye have released their powerful new single and music video, “Further” available now via Arson Theory.

 

Blending cinematic atmosphere, crushing riffs, and emotionally charged melodic hooks, Omen//Skye continue to establish themselves as one of the Mid-Atlantic's most promising heavy acts. Built on the foundation of explosive live performances, the band seamlessly merges the intensity of classic metalcore with the innovation of the genre's modern wave, forging a sound that is both familiar and unmistakably their own.

 

Their latest release, "Further," dives deep into conceptual storytelling, delivering a chilling narrative wrapped in towering guitars, relentless rhythms, and dynamic vocal performances.

 

"'Further' serves as an esoteric warning to anybody searching for knowledge of things they couldn't possibly comprehend as a human. It's a conceptual track that speaks from the perspective of an ancient demonic presence that offers an occultist the knowledge he seeks regarding the secrets of the universe, with a cryptic warning that runs parallel to the being's beckoning," shares Josh Grzywacz (Guitar/Vocals), writer of "Further".

 

The single is accompanied by an equally immersive live performance music video that captures the song's uncompromising heaviness.

 

The band sums up the single with one simple invitation:

"Go Further with me..."

OMEN/Skye:

Nick Troisi - Lead Vocals

Joshua Grzywacz - Vocals / Rhythm Guitar

Dillon Thatcher - Drums

Dominic Buie - Bass

Brian Baugus - Lead Guitar

 

UPCOMING TOUR DATES:

 

7/11 - Beef & Beer & Beatdowns Festival @ Peabody Heights Brewing in Baltimore, MD

8/2 - Supporting Fight From Within and Yung Mosh @ Morsberger's Tavern in Catonsville, MD

9/13 - Supporting ENOX @ Metro Gallery in Baltimore, MD

Unverkalt Release New Video for Grief-Stricken “Ænæ Lithi”

After drawing closer and closer to the edge with each album over the past decade, Unverkalt are receiving high praise for the post-metal band’s heavy and heartfelt new offering.

As they bring Héréditaire to the world stage, today, Unverkalt are releasing a video for the album’s most gut-wrenching song. Dedicated in memory to the victims of the Asia Minor Catastrophe, “Ænæ Lithi” turns a historical tragedy into an aching monument for grief.  

“It is a great honor for me to create and share this video”, Unverkalt guitarist Themis Ioannou says. “The story behind our song ‘Ænæ Lithi’ is deeply personal to me, as it is part of my own family’s history. I dedicate it to my beloved grandmother and my father, who are no longer with us. This video is for them, and for the millions of people who lost their lives or were forced to abandon their ancestral homes during and after the Asia Minor Catastrophe of 1922”.  

Watch the video for “Ænæ Lithi” below.

Héréditaire is out now on Season of Mist.

Before they emerged as blackened beacons for post-metal, Unverkalt rose through the Greek underground. In lifting the veil from our cursed existence, Héréditaire bares the weight of a traumatic moment in their home country’s history. “Ænæ Lithi”, which in English roughly translates to “Eternal Oblivion”, mourns the years between 1914 and 1923, when Greek communities across Pontus, Ionia and Eastern Thrace were subjected to persecution, forced deportations, death marches and mass killings during the final years of the Ottoman Empire.

“The memory of those who suffered from the Asia Minor Catastrophe continue to be honored by their descendants and communities around the world”,  Ioannou says. “The music video for ‘Ænæ Lithi’, which uses historical photographs from this tragic event, is dedicated to preserving their memory and to the generations forever marked in its aftermath”.  

Amidst its smoky and simmering modern-day atmosphere, “Ænæ Lithi” stirs with sounds from a past that refuses to stay buried. Creeping dissonance and a slow pounding of toms intertwine with clarinet and qanun, hand drums, strings and lyrics in Greek.  “We are the source”, Unverkalt vocalist Dimitra Kalavrezou chants with her mesmerizing cleans. As the band rise with overwhelming force, “Ænæ Lithi” comes crashing down with the weight of what was lost and all the pain that remains.

Catch Unverkalt live throughout 2026.
