FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH RELEASE "LEGACY," THE DEFINING ALBUM OF A 20-YEAR CAREER, + NEW SONG "NAILS IN THE COFFIN" — LISTEN

Twenty years and 10 albums into one of the most successful hard rock careers of the modern era, Five Finger Death Punch today released Legacy, the record the band regards as the definitive statement of everything they are. The album arrives on the heels of current single "Eye Of The Storm," delivering the band's 18th No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, extending their own record for the most consecutive No. 1s in the chart's 45-year history. Few bands reach a 20th anniversary. Fewer still reach it at the height of their commercial power.

Revolver praised the track's blend of battering riffs and melody driven by Ivan Moody's introspective vocal performance, while Loudwire called it "a furious opening statement for the new album cycle."

Founding guitarist  Zoltan Bathory left no doubt about where Legacy stands in the band's catalog: "This album is our loud and clear answer to the question of whether a band can stay true to the signature sound that has become the soundtrack to millions of fans' daily lives and still write something new and exciting. Legacy is an absolute monster, an unapologetic monument to how far we've come, and a clear signal that we're not even thinking about slowing down. If you asked me to pick the one record that best represents the essence of this band, I would hand you this one."

Alongside the album, the band today unleashes new song "Nails In The Coffin" (listen below). Bathory offered his perspective on the track: "Ivan never defines the meaning of his lyrics. He doesn't want to rob the fans of their own interpretation, so a song means whatever it's supposed to mean to each listener. That's by design, and I love that about him. But to me, 'Nails In The Coffin' is about burying the things that tried to bury us. Every doubt, every prediction that we wouldn't last, every catastrophe that was supposed to be the last nail in our coffin. 20 years later, we are still here and we're the ones holding the hammer."

Five Finger Death Punch are currently on the first leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour which takes the band all across North America with special guest Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire before hitting arenas in the UK/EU with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within in early 2027.

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band's journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album,The Way Of The Fist, in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades. Produced by Live Nation and sponsored by Punch'd Energy, the 48-city North American tour is currently underway and will wrap up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on October 23.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour's commitment to championing America's next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

The Swedish kings of black metal, DARK FUNERAL, proudly launch their new single, "We Are The Apocalypse (Live in Stockholm)," taken from the band's long-awaited upcoming live album, 'A Beast To Praise,' set for worldwide release via Century Media on August 21, 2026. The track marks the second single from the forthcoming release and arrives alongside an official live video.

Recorded at Fållan in Stockholm in 2022, 'A Beast To Praise' captures DARK FUNERAL's devastating live performance in support of their acclaimed album 'We Are The Apocalypse.'Spanning 13 tracks and nearly 70 minutes, the release showcases the band's relentless stage presence while celebrating an album that entered the charts across Europe upon it's 2022 release, including #6 in Germany, #13 in Finland, #28 in Switzerland, #29 in Austria, and #31 in Sweden.

Check Out the Live Video for "We Are The Apocalypse" Below:

DARK FUNERAL’s Lord Ahriman comments on ‘A Beast To Praise’:

‘A Beast To Praise’ (Live at Fållan, Stockholm) captures a very important moment in the history of DARK FUNERAL — not only the live release ritual for ‘We Are The Apocalypse,’but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic. That night at Fållanwas intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding ‘We Are The Apocalypse.’ At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of DARK FUNERAL and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027. And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape — bigger, darker and more epic than ever before...”

President Share "dark heaven" Video — WATCH // "BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE" Out 9/4

Multi-million streaming, UK-based collective PRESIDENT continue to exist at the intersection of heavy music, electronic experimentation, and cinematic atmosphere. 

They will release BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE, their debut full length, on September 4 via Atlantic Records. Pre-order it here.

Ahead of the release, the band shared the visualizer for "dark heaven." Watch it Below:

"'dark heaven' is a reflection on the contradictions of faith, and how something intended to unite humanity has so often been used to justify division, violence, and power. It's about the way greed can wear the mask of righteousness,' President say. "It isn't an attack on belief itself; it's about searching for something real beneath the noise, and asking what remains when certainty begins to crumble."

One could certainly regard "dark heaven" as a personal state of the union address from President. The track's seasick distortion drains into a buoyant 808-laden beat during the verses. The song goes for broke with a command on the pre-chorus:"Gather ‘round children, sing Hallelujah." A glitchy and detuned riff takes over, giving way to a powerful confession: "I used to stare at the cross and cry out for God, but I’m not the person I was."

The accompanying visual records the actual first reactions of various fans hearing "dark heaven" for the first time in a church. Their feelings spill across their faces, but it’s another magnetic anthem from alternative metal’s incumbent supreme leader.

"Blood Of Your Empire was born out of my own struggle with existential crisis and trying to make sense of belief, mortality, and humanity's relationship with faith," President says. "Religion has inspired incredible compassion, purpose, and beauty in the world — but it has also been responsible for unimaginable suffering and bloodshed throughout history. This album lives in the tension between those two truths. Writing it became a way for me to confront the fear, confusion, and questions I've carried for years, and turn them into something I'm truly proud of."

The album cover is a Eugène Delacroix painting, The Battle of Poitiers, which, consequently, hangs in the Louvre. 

Launching in 2025 and operating under the cloak of minimalism and anonymity, PRESIDENT have been cultivating intrigue with each single and live performance. Refusing to conform to the traditional structures of genre or identity, PRESIDENT prioritize intent over image.

Fresh off their first-ever full U.S. run supporting Bad Omens, PRESIDENT will return this fall to headline venues across the continent. The live campaigns will feature support from Cenobia and Showing Teeth on select dates. The tour is set to kick off September 4 at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, making stops across the U.S in Chicago, New York, Toronto, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles. and more before wrapping up in Dallas at House of Blues on October 14.

The entire tour is already sold out.

About SEVEN KINGDOMS:

SEVEN KINGDOMS, a power metal band hailing from Deland, FL, was formed in 2007. After solidifying their lineup in 2009, the band signed with Nightmare Records and began gaining momentum in the metal scene. Their big break came in 2010 when they were handpicked by BLIND GUARDIAN to support their North American tour, which introduced SEVEN KINGDOMS to a wider audience. Following this, they played notable tours and festivals, including ProgPower USA and the 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise, while releasing The Fire is Mine in 2012, which marked a pivotal moment in their career with its refined sound and strong reception.

In recent years, SEVEN KINGDOMS has continued to expand their reach with international tours alongside acts like STRATOVIRUS, AMARANTHE and EVERGREY. The band’s latest full-length album, Zenith (2022), was released through Distortion Music Group, further cementing their place in the power metal world where they were featured as the sole support for the first US Tour of POWERWOLF and then with WIND ROSE in the USA and Europe shortly after. In 2024, they released their highly anticipated EP, The Square, under Reigning Phoenix Music which hit the stages in Europe with UNLEASH THE ARCHERS and again with BLIND GUARDIAN 15 years later in North America. With world-wide touring view on the horizon, SEVEN KINGDOMS continues to elevate their status in the global metal scene.

Ferociously melodic in their approach, the quartet fuse high octane energy and intensity with compelling harmonies in their charismatic, modern take on power metal. With recording for the new album, Sono Sola, now complete, SEVEN KINGDOMS are gearing up to ignite this next chapter.

TURMION KÄTILÖT - Announce 12th Studio Album 'Resodance'; Watch The Video For 'Raivotarjonta'

High-octane Finnish industrial metal masters TURMION KÄTILÖT have officially announced their highly anticipated 12th studio album, Resodance, scheduled for global release on October 23, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Produced by Mikko Tegelman alongside the band, the upcoming record perfectly captures the ferocious, raw energy of the band's legendary live performances. Musically and lyrically, Resodance dives deep into sonic experimentation, exploring dark, interconnected themes of universal cycles, resonance, and personal transformation.

To celebrate the announcement, the band has unleashed the album's fierce first single, 'Raivotarjonta', accompanied by a high-octane, sweaty, fast-paced music video. The track serves as a perfect blueprint for the album's overall direction: crushing guitar riffs meet pulsating electronic beats, while aggressive vocal deliveries collide head-on with unforgettable melodic hooks.

Known for wrapping dark, heavy subject matter in an irresistible sense of rhythm and theatrical spectacle, TURMION KÄTILÖT promises that Resodance will be their most electrifying and transformative chapter yet.

Watch the video for 'Raivotarjonta' below:

Pre-order Resodance: https://turmionkatilot.bfan.link/resodance

Vocalist Shag-U comments on the single:
"The lyrics started from the saying, "It can't really hurt if it doesn't even draw blood," which took on a life of its own as I watched the strange world of social media and the way people speak to one another. The idea that words can't destroy someone is absurd. Most of us know, at the very least, of someone who ended up doing something irreversible because of them. From there, the story began to take shape around a person who finally snaps. Rage boils over from beneath despair as the situation hurtles towards its inevitable breaking point. Pain doesn't need a face. All you have to do is look in the mirror. Add a touch of personal experience, the title Raivotarjonta suggested by MC Raaka Pee, and there it was."

MC Raaka Pee adds:
"Raivotarjonta doesn't move forward – it breathes. Driven by restless rhythms and stripped-back harmonies, it draws inspiration from the cold, uncompromising machine music of the late '90s and early 2000s, where simplicity becomes overwhelming through tension, contrast and sheer weight."

About Turmion Kätilöt:
Formed in 2003, Turmion Kätilöt (Midwives of Destruction) have carved out a unique legacy as the undisputed kings of Finnish industrial metal. Melding fierce metal instrumentation with danceable electronic beats, the band has earned gold records, topped national charts, and built a reputation for delivering some of the most chaotic, energetic, and visually spectacular live shows in the European heavy music scene.

Modern Metalcore Band IRIDIUM Signs With Napalm Records

Hailing from London, UK, IRIDIUM are one of the most exciting new names in modern metalcore. Combining razor-sharp riffs and crushing breakdowns with atmospheric electronics and emotionally charged songwriting, the band has forged a sound that is both dynamic and forward-thinking. Their blend of technical precision, introspective lyricism, and uncompromising heaviness has quickly earned them a dedicated and rapidly growing fanbase.

Following the release of their EP HELL IS JUST A HALFWAY HOUSE earlier this year, IRIDIUM have surpassed 115,000 monthly Spotify listeners and amassed more than three million streams worldwide. Now, the band embarks on an exciting new chapter by signing with Napalm Records and unleashing "ENDGAME," their first single for the label.

IRIDIUM about the signing:
"We are delighted to be working with Napalm Records. Napalm is renowned for its exceptional roster of heavy bands, and we are honored to be joining such a highly regarded team. It has always been our ambition to push IRIDIUM as far as it can go, and it's fantastic to be working with a label that shares our vision for the band."

With "ENDGAME," IRIDIUM continue to evolve their sound, seamlessly blending technical precision with emotional depth. Progressive riffing collides with soaring melodies before erupting into crushing, pit-ready breakdowns, while acoustic guitars and haunting clean vocals bring the track to a reflective close. Lyrically, "ENDGAME" explores existentialism, questioning whether there is more to life in the face of human corruption. The result is the band's most ambitious and emotionally powerful material to date.

IRIDIUM comment about the single:
"Our first single with Napalm, "ENDGAME", takes the IRIDIUM sound further than ever before, combining our most technical riffs to date with the raw emotional energy established on HELL IS JUST A HALFWAY HOUSE. Touching on existentialism and grounded in personal experience, "ENDGAME" explores whether there can be more to life in the face of human corruption. This is a new chapter. The journey is just beginning."

Symphonic Metal Legends KAMELOT Unveil Video for Grandiose New Single "Godlike Alchemy"

 KAMELOT reveal the second single from their forthcoming masterpiece, Dark Asylum, out August 28 via Napalm Records.

The grandiose "Godlike Alchemy" emerges larger than life with its soaring string arrangements accompanying frontman Tommy Karevik's goosebump-inducing wails. Dynamically expansive and rhythmically infectious, the band flawlessly oscillates between ornate and brutal, with Thomas Youngblood wielding some serious melodic firepower in the solo and breakdown department. Biblical atmosphere with an anthemic chorus, "Godlike Alchemy" sees KAMELOT firing from all cylinders.

Singer Tommy Karevik on "Godlike Alchemy":
"This song encapsulates the overarching theme of the Dark Asylum. What if you don't need to look outside of yourself to find peace and happiness... What if you already possess the power you need to heal and create the reality you want to see? What if we are all magical, powerful beings with unlimited potential? It's a mind boggling thought..."
 

Pre-Order Your Copy Of Dark Asylum NOW.

Check out the official video for "Godlike Alchemy" Below:

Set within a shadowed Neo Victorian-era world, Dark Asylum invites listeners beyond the gates of RavenHill Asylum — an imposing institution once built as a grand cathedral, now repurposed into a place where science, faith, and madness uneasily coexist.

KAMELOT pushes further into cinematic and atmospheric territory on Dark Asylum, diving deeper into theatrical darkness while preserving the signature hooks that define their sound. Candlelight trembles along towering arches and cold stone corridors as you are greeted familiar spectres: Avantasia mastermind Tobias Sammet, Eluveitie's Lea-Sophie Fischer, Visions of Atlantis' Clémentine Delauney, Decessus frontwoman and current reigning Miss World Chile champion Ignacia Fernández, Rannveig Sif Sigurðardóttir and Sólveig Sara Leupold, and Billy King! Identity fractures, reality bends, and control slips into unseen hands, guiding its central figure through a descent into psychological darkness that ultimately leads toward transformation… and perhaps sanctuary. From the cinematic sweep of "Ashen World" to the introspective depth of "Sanctuary," and the layered mystique of "Ivy, My Dear," Dark Asylum unfolds as a fully immersive journey, blending orchestral grandeur, haunting melodies, and theatrical storytelling into one cohesive vision.

Will you find sanctuary?

Or will you wander its halls for eternity?

Green Carnation Perform Prog Miracle on New Single “The Messiah Complex”

After reaching crushing new peaks and delving into the deepest, darkest and most personal depths of their storied career during its opening chapters, the Norwegian prog bards Green Carnation are ending their critically-acclaimed album trilogy with a bold and uncompromising exclamation.

A Dark Poem is by far our biggest achievement since Light of Day, Day of Darkness”, Green Carnation vocalist Kjetil Nordhus. “Our new album trilogy returns to the epic storytelling that put us on the map back in 2001. While the reception to Part I and Part II has been overwhelmingly positive for us, we do believe that Part III saves the best for last”.

Today, Green Carnation are releasing the title track as the second advanced single from A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex. By performing a prog miracle, trilogy highlight “The Messiah Complex” reveals a dark truth about human nature.

“The title track from Part III of A Dark Poem is about our need to find external excuses for our behavior”, Green Carnation bassist and primary lyricist Stein Roger Sordal says. “This is nothing new, but with our uncritical way of working with our increasingly digital world, we seem unable to cope with the consequences of our actions”.

“‘The Messiah Complex’ is a standout song in the trilogy”, Nordhus adds. “The vibe to this song is quite unique for us, but it doesn’t take long to recognize that it is still very much a Green Carnation song. Bjørn’s guitar work lifts the song up, together with Jonathan’s drumming and, of course,  Stein Roger’s bass and vocals during the bridge”.

Listen to “The Messiah Complex” below:

   

A Dark Poem, Part III: The Messiah Complex comes out September 4, 2026 on Season of Mist.

Australian Hard Rockers AIRBOURNE Release New Single "Here She Comes" - Co-Written with Mutt Lange & Bryan Adams

When you're making an album that offers a 21-gun salute to hard rock’s proud past, its history and its heart, it makes perfect sense to align with writers and producers who have played a key role in championing the music worldwide, and who continue to do so.

Highly fitting, therefore, that AIRBOURNE’s latest single, "Here She Comes," out today, should and was co-written with Bryan Adams & Mutt Lange – names responsible for hundreds of millions of sales and for creating some of rock’s most revered and timeless releases, the likes of ‘Reckless’ and ‘Waking Up The Neighbours’ (global chart-toppers for Adams, the latter No. 1 in 11 different countries), and ‘Back In Black’ and ‘Hysteria’ (seminal albums produced by Lange for AC/DC and Def Leppard respectively, game-changers for the genre as a whole).

Watch the Visualizer for "Here She Comes" Below:

Add in the talents of producer Brian Howes (who helmed 2013’s ‘Black Dog Barking’ for AIRBOURNE), engineer Mike Fraser (who worked on 2010’s ‘No Guts. No Glory’ & 2016’s ‘Breakin’ Outta Hell’), mixing engineer Zakk Cervini (BMTH, Architects, Evanescence) and mastering legend Ted Jensen, and you have a track – Single 5 from the forthcoming self-titled studio album, out September 4th via Spinefarm that manages to both box and charm the ears at the same time.

First there was do-or-die anthem ‘Gutsy’, then ‘Christmas Bonus’ (“Ho-ho-ho – let’s go!”), then ‘Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)’, officially No. 1 at German Rock Radio, and most recently ‘Kid In A Candy Store’, a rite-of-passage rocker in the spirit of AC/DC’s "Whole Lotta Rosie"; and now, blowing in hard on a festival-ready chorus and enough full-blooded ‘woahs’ to lift an arena roof or part the lower clouds, there’s ‘Here She Comes’, complete with guitar solo cranked high in the mix for maximum shoulder-straddling impact.

Lyrics like, "Here she comes, raising a hurricane, there she goes blowing my mind" might sound like they’re about one of vocalist/guitarist Joel O’Keeffe’s favourite subjects, women – which, to be fair, they are – but they also nod to the tropical storm that bore down on Music Farm Studio in Byron Bay, south-eastern Australia, as AIRBOURNE were recording, adding to a list of tribulations topped up by dangerous, potentially lethal wild-life and uncooperative vintage gear.

“It was like a hurricane came through,” recalls drummer Ryan O’Keeffe. “I remember screaming, ‘Get away from the windows!’ Streetie [bassist Justin Street] was sleeping in an old bus outside the studio, and a tree fell right next to it and almost crushed him!”

Adds brother Joel: “That’s how the song came about. It’s just out of this storm that blew in. Everyone was sitting there going, ‘Here she comes!’ Then we flipped it, and it became a bit of a double entendre. It’s so much fun.”

Pre-Order 'Airbourne' HERE

When AIRBOURNE – brothers Joel and Ryan O'Keeffe (vocals/guitar and drums, respectively), bassist Justin Street, and guitarist Brett Tyrrell – entered Music Farm Studioin southeastern Australia to record their new album, they effectively drew a line in the Byron Bay sand. The mission was clear: to create not only the greatest body of work in the AIRBOURNE canon ("Real blockbuster sh*t!," to echo their own words), but to scale the highest possible peak – shirtless, naturally, in true AIRBOURNE style – in the name of hard rock; to break new ground, defend the territory won by the heroes who came before them, and strengthen and celebrate the sacred bond with rock fans around the world.

In short, go forth and GET GUTSY!

Ryan: “This record distils everything we stand for into one place. Everything we love. It’s the best album we could possibly have made.”

“Everything we are as a band, our heart and soul, is in this record,” confirms Joel.

Airbourneis The Album, the statement recording, that only one band could have created; for proud sons of Warrnambool, Joel and Ryan, it was all about stepping up to the mighty task, staunchly protecting their beliefs and keeping the vision alive – no compromise, no corners cut, still no ballads (or bullshit); and if that meant staring down deadly snakes and even deadlier super-sized spiders, then so be it. Bring it on, Big Boy!

Airbourne’. Made with passion. Made in Australia. The Great Barrier Riff.

Guitarist Eric Steckel Announces "Sandstorm" Out 9/11 + Shares "She's a Goldigger"

Internationally acclaimed blues-rock guitarist, singer, and songwriter Eric Steckel has announced the release of his brand-new studio album Sandstorm on September 11 via OPEN/SPV Recordings

To coincide with the album announcement, Steckel has released "She’s A Golddigger" — another glimpse into the new album. Stream the single and pre-order the album here.

Watch the video below.

"'She's a Golddigger' is just plain fun," comments Eric Steckel. "It was one of the songs that I just couldn't wait to record for this album and I can't wait for you guys to hear it. The lyrics are just hilarious, very relatable, especially to those who are musicians or in the arts. But even if you're not, I think you'll get a kick out of this song."

In an era where pedalboards, laptops, and samples have become commonplace, American blues rock/metal guitarist and singer Eric Steckel goes against the grain and harkens his listeners back to the days when great guitars were played loudly through great amps. Hailed by many as the top rising star of blues and rock, Steckel delivers a powerhouse performance that has left audiences in 30 countries (and counting) mesmerized. 

Steckel has toured worldwide, sharing the billing with Steve Vai, Gregg Allman, Johnny Winter, John Mayall, Ray Charles, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, and others, and was voted into Total Guitar magazine's list of "The 100 Greatest Blues Guitarists of All Time."

"My forthcoming new album, Sandstorm is the most fun I've had making a record in my career thus far," comments Steckel. "The incredible vibe in the studio brought forth tons of new and spontaneous material such as the title track 'Sandstorm,' which instantly became my favorite track on this album and a perfect representation of this body of work."

About AGNOSTIC FRONT:
Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stand among the most esteemed pioneers of the hardcore genre. No band comes close in sonic and socio authenticity and sincerity, where the struggles of survival on the streets have quite literally given life to a sound that remains as impactful today as it was over four decades ago. AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s battering, socially critical sounds serve as the foundation of true New York hardcore and helped initiate the emergence of crossover thrash. Following a slew of pummeling offerings, the band, led by the inimitable roar of Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma's legendary charismatic guitar playing, continue to showcase unapologetically honest lyrics and signature aggression in Echoes in Eternity.

Insomnium Descend Into Darkness With "Gleam in the Black" Video

Finland's undisputed masters of melancholy INSOMNIUM are unveiling their latest single and video "Gleam in the Black," offering an even deeper descent into darkness and the shadowy realms beyond. Blending haunting melodies with crushing heaviness, the track captures the essence of the band's signature sound while exploring the emotional depths that define their upcoming album.

Vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen comments, "Being one of the faster songs on the new album, this is a track that should get the crowd moving when played live. It definitely carries a classic INSOMNIUM spirit. The lyrics tell a dark and mysterious love story, capturing the mood and atmosphere of the entire album. We are doomed to wander the nightly woods, searching for something lost long ago, something we can reach only in our dreams. That single gleam of light amidst the blackness."

Atmospheric, powerful, and deeply evocative, "Gleam in the Black" serves as another glimpse into the album's haunting world, where beauty and despair walk hand-in-hand.

Immerse yourself in the darkness and experience the song's captivating visual counterpart, directed and produced by Patric Ullaeus of rEvolver Film Company AB, whose cinematic vision perfectly captures the track's bleak yet mesmerizing atmosphere below.

Heavy Music Disruptor Showing Teeth Shares "Bad Exchanges" — LISTEN // EP Out In September // Signs With Republic/Spinefarm

After quietly emerging as one of extreme music's most talked-about artists this year, acclaimed Nashville-based sonic alchemist SHOWING TEETH unleashes a venomous new single in the form of "Bad Exchanges." 

Listen here.

Additionally, she has signed a freshly minted partnership with Republic Records and Spinefarm — as officially announced.
 
Next up, SHOWING TEETH will unveil her much-anticipated debut EP, A Fate Worse Than Loneliness, dropping on September 4 via Republic Records + Spinefarm. Pre-order/Pre-save here
 
On "Bad Exchanges," a woozy beat anxiously tosses and turns beneath her seething verses. Distortion groans, electronics squeal, and a chugging detuned groove explodes in tandem with a high-pitched scream. Amidst the chaos, raw emotion spills out like blood from an open wound as she wonders: "Why can't I just be happy? This feeling always ends." It concludes with an unbridled burst of intense catharsis awash in grainy feedback. 
 
Stay tuned for the premiere of an equally powerful music video to accompany the track.

The song lands in the wake of "Rip," which has already amassed over 1 million streams and counting. Revolver touted it among the 6 Best New Songs Right Now," raving: "Beyond that textual heaviness, Showing Teeth goes next level berserk with her feral shrieks."
 
This fall, she will hit the road as support to President on the band's sold-out North American Campaign 2026 for six weeks across North America. This run commences on September 4 in Nashville, TN at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and closes out on October 14 in Dallas, TX at House of Blues Dallas. All dates are below.
 
Experience A Fate Worse Than Loneliness and more to come from Showing Teeth this fall.

Not Enough Space Announce "Weaponize Your Rage" Anniversary Show September 4 in Orlando, FL

Orlando's very own, Not Enough Space, is celebrating the anniversary of their debut album "Weaponize Your Rage", with a hometown show on Friday, September 4th at the Conduit, presented by 152 Productions. Tickets go on sale today HERE.

Released in September of 2025 via Thriller Records, "Weaponize Your Rage", marked Not Enough Space's debut full-length, a record that established the band as one of Florida's most intense rising acts. Describing the record as a rejection of the notion that anger is a weakness, the band choose to frame it as a vehicle for personal growth, a way to face inner conflict and shed what no longer serves you.

Joining Not Enough Space for this milestone celebration are Lilith's Demise, No One Road, and Almost Mine, rounding out an all-Florida lineup to bring the state's hardcore scene onto one stage.

On celebrating one year of "Weaponize Your Rage", vocalist Liv Mitchell shares:

"Getting to celebrate this album a year later, in our hometown, with bands that we genuinely love is special in so many ways. This record came from a very real place for all of us, and seeing people connect with it in the way they have means everything. This show is us saying thank you to anyone who loves "Weaponize Your Rage" as much as we do.”

For fans looking to make the night even more memorable, Not Enough Space will be offering a limited VIP package alongside standard tickets. The package features a limited-edition "Weaponize Your Rage" anniversary show poster alongside a meet and greet with the band complete with a professional photo and a signing session. VIP ticket holders will also get early access to merch, a drawstring bag, their choice of the "Weaponize Your Rage" LP vinyl or CD, a wristband, and a VIP laminate to commemorate the night.

"Weaponize Your Rage" shows Not Enough Space confidently embracing their own sound while being at their most intense and sincere. The album shifts from heavy riffs to surprising melodic moments, reflecting the highs and lows of confronting your own emotions. Released on on September 12th via Thriller Records, it's a bold debut that showcases the band as a force to be reckoned with.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Not Enough Space news coming very soon.

TEMIC Announce Mighty and Magical Second Album 'Ceiba'

From the moment they joined forces, TEMIC appeared as a dream come true for prog fans everywhere. The international supergroup features current and former members of Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse Band, Haken, Shining, Maraton and Big City. The group’s chart-topping debut lived up to the hype, but on their upcoming new album, Ceiba, they’ve grown by leaps and bounds.

Today, TEMIC are officially announcing the mighty and magical Ceiba with a soul-stirring video for the album’s lead single. While rattled by the encroaching shadow of death, “Ceased To Be” positively ascends by crossing the threshold between progressive metal, pop and hard rock.  

Ceiba is a concept album about loss in all its various forms”, TEMIC says. “While more progressive than our first album, the songs are driven by honesty and emotions. ‘Ceased To Be’ is told from the perspective of someone who’s dying, while surrounded by their loved ones. Death is not feared nor resisted. Rather, it is observed as a sacred rite of passage”.

Watch the music video for “Ceased To Be” below:

Ceiba comes out October 2, 2026 on Season of Mist

Pre-order

https://orcd.co/temicceiba

The video for “Ceased To Be” was directed by Cesar Mendiburu. It was filmed in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, beneath a Ceiba tree and inside a cenote, where Ah Puch, the Mayan god of death, welcomes a woman to the afterlife.

“Since the moment I received the invitation to be a part of ‘Cease To Be’, I felt an immediate calling to say yes”, actress Anna Kirse says. “Representing all the joy and pain of life, its transformation after death, and the relief of letting go in absolute surrender resonated with me immediately. It was a beautiful artistic challenge”.

“Filming the underwater scenes was a profound experience for me as well. It required me to face my own fear of disappearing beneath the water. Surrendering to the unknown and trusting that I was safe became a significant moment of growth for me. Every day of filming was filled with magic, creativity, genuine collaboration and incredible team spirit. I am deeply grateful, truly happy and very proud to be part of this video”.

No matter how deep Ceiba digs into philosophical terrain, TEMIC continue to branch out in all directions both literally and figuratively. The album treats loss not as an end but as one more step along life’s path. “Your soul will never die”, assures lead single “Ceased To Be”, which crosses between prog’s technical sorcery and pop’s divine melodies with relative ease thanks to shrewd guidance from the group’s newest member and bassist Miguel Pereira (Withem, Big City). Supported by swaying leads, towering cleans and firm groove, 10-minute closer “As Long As We Last” promises to stay with us long after its final epic solo.    

“We wrote this album together with contributions from all five members”, the band says. “We allowed ourselves to explore the songs and really extend ourselves while always keeping the emotions at the front of our minds”.  

With Ceiba, TEMIC return with a thunderous ode of prog.

FROZEN CROWN Release New Single "Reborn" + Video! — WATCH + LISTEN

Italian heavy power metal band FROZEN CROWN share the second single from their upcoming album, The Legend of the Six Kings, out October 2 via Napalm Records. "Reborn" is a powerful anthem of steadfastness as well as a bolstering tale about team spirit, perfectly encompassing the more narrative approach the band takes with their new album. With infinitely catchy "Reborn." FROZEN CROWN also show magnificent instrumental abilities through a majestic guitar solo.

Drummer Niso Tomasini about "Reborn":
"'Reborn' continues the narrative arc begun with 'The One,' with bright light manifesting a rebirth after dark. As Samwise Gamgee said, 'Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.' On this track, vocalist Giada 'Jade' Etro's voice takes some melancholic shades in the verses that find a great contrast in the powerful and cheerful anthemic choruses, running on a more straightforward, hard-and-heavy-inspired rhythm. In the video clip, our director Raoul Noise captured the band’s new dark fantasy aesthetic on a clear white background, embracing the theme of frost while keeping FROZEN CROWN’s signature live-performance approach, showing the energy and the alchemy between the band members."

Watch the Official Music Video for "Reborn" Below:

FROZEN CROWN about The Legend of the Six Kings:
"With our sixth album—our second on Napalm Records—we continue our search for the quintessential FROZEN CROWN tune, distilling the key elements of our sound and style into increasingly concise and straightforward songs, stripping away all unnecessary frills.

"The Legend of the Six Kings draws directly from our debut album The Fallen King, continuing the saga of the Kings and the Tyrant, as we are—thanks to a brilliant newly extended team—finally able to do justice to what we had in mind with the original concept of the band. The visionary genius of Raoul Noise (the video maker behind all our new videos and band photos), the masterful craftsmanship of Daria Gislon (who designed and built the throne and the literal 'frozen crown') and of course the outstanding artistic talent of Sheila Franco (who hand painted our album cover art) gave life to the vibrant, obscure, frozen world we had in mind since the very beginning of the band, somewhere between J. R. R. Tolkien’s harmonious and regal aesthetics and Robert E. Howard's brutality.

"The Legend of the Six Kings brings not only new visuals, but also an empowered sound, with the young war hearts getting older on the battlefield and becoming an increasingly leading force of the Crown (with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Niso Tomasini becoming a more integral part of the songwriting together with singer Giada 'Jade' Etro and mastermind Federico Mondelli) and new warriors joining our ranks (Aleksandra Stamenkovic and her scorching, old school, abrasive guitar leads).

This sixth album depicts the strength of our six band members, and our personal idea of Power Metal infused in ten catchy tracks touching the most varied nuances of the genre, from raw and uncompromising Speed ​​Metal, to the sumptuous magniloquence of Symphonic Metal, to the occasional linear chaos of Melodic Death Metal, but always sounding as FROZEN CROWN as ever!"

JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN radiates on "Feed The Light" from new "Real Life Evolutio" album

Iconic NYC artist Joan As Police Woman presents 'Feed The Light', a highlight track from her new 'Real Life Evolution' album, released via UK label Reveal Records. She says, "Songs live beyond their creators. Like us, they settle into themselves over time, finding their own equilibrium. That spirit is the pulse of this new album — ten reimagined versions of every song from the original 'Real Life'".

She also shares the video for the 'Feed The Light (Real Life Anniversary Sessions)', the latest from  series, recorded by Adam Sachs at The Owl Music Parlor in Brooklyn and filmed by Ehud Lazin.

The album version differs markedly with Joan playing Fender Rhodes as her chosen instrument, while the video finds her blissfully at home on bass guitar. Recorded by Danny Blume at Hidden Quarry Studios in Bearsville, NY, the album version involves long-term collaborators Thomas Bartlett  (Rhodes bass) and Parker Kindred (drums and vocals). In the video version, Joan is joined by Jeremy Gustin on drums and Will Graefe on guitar and vocals.

Joan has also announced February 2027 dates for her 'Real Life 20th Anniversary Tour', complimenting her November 2026 dates, bringing her to UK, Italy, Germany, France and The Netherlands. Performing her debut 'Real Life' album as a trio, shows will also include song from her catalogue, fan favourites, deep cuts and many surprises

Joan Wasser, known as Joan As Police Woman since 2004, is a critically acclaimed musician and producer, and a sought-after collaborator, dubbed “the coolest woman in pop” (The Times) and “one of the 21st century’s best musicians” (The Economist). As a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, her music defies easy categorization, crafting her own sound that blends various genres.

‘I wrote this song to survive a tour. I was stuck in a van with a friend who was slowly driving me out of my mind. I kept reaching for compassion — genuinely, I tried — but every generous thought had a way of circling straight back to fantasies of duct tape," says Joan Wasser.

"The arrangement came together with Parker Kindred during a massive blizzard in upstate New York. I wanted to break free from the guitar riff the song was born on and find something with more lift to it. I started playing a line on the Rhodes and sang to that instead — and something opened up. Parker adds his voice to the track as well, and I got happily lost in the vintage synths. Thomas Bartlett is magnificent on Rhodes bass; he absolutely tears it apart in the best possible way."

Joan also recently shared the 'Real Life (Real Life Anniversary Sessions)', confessing “I wrote this song to romance a man. We met once for 3 minutes and I had decided he was The One. Bear in mind, this is ages ago. Conveniently, we lived 6000 miles apart.... I brazenly put his name in the song. Unsurprisingly it didn’t work out between us. But the song did." This follows stripped-down trio-format versions of 'Eternal Flame', 'Flushed Chest', 'The Ride', 'Anyone' and 'I Defy'.

Unveiled exactly 20 years from her debut's release, Joan As Police Woman has reimagined her 'Real Life' album with numerous guests. Through countless performances, these renditions are brought to life by the brilliance of the players who helped define their sound. The result is ten stunning tracks with varied flavours and collaborators.

VENTANA and DEADLY APPLES Team Up for the "Saints of Sickness Tour" Across North America This November

Industrial metal bands Ventana and Deadly Apples are teaming up this November for the Saints of Sickness Tour, an 18-date run across the United States and Canada.

 

Cleveland-based Ventana, founded by Richard "Stitch" Thomas (Mushroomhead, Crossbreed, A Killer’s Confession) and Daniel Fox (Mushroomhead, Dope, Wednesday 13), have spent more than two decades carving out their place in the industrial metal scene, earning a reputation for highly entertaining live shows. The band has toured alongside acts including Fear Factory, Dope, Mindless Self Indulgence, Hellyeah, Static-X, Powerman 5000, Hed PE and The Birthday Massacre, while also performing on select dates of the Mayhem Festival. Ventana recently unveiled their latest single and music video, "Iron Over Blood."

Montreal's Deadly Apples have toured throughout North America, South America, Europe and Japan supporting artists such as Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Korn, Deftones and Rammstein, while also appearing at major festivals such as Hellfest, Knotfest and the Vans Warped Tour. Renowned for their intense, high-energy and chaotic live performances, the band continues to build momentum with their single "Volatile," featuring Richard Patrick (Filter) and Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), which has surpassed one million streams. The song's accompanying music video was selected for the Berlin Music Video Awards.

 

Special guest Aeternum will appear on all dates. The female-fronted band recently released their new single, "Knives at Midnight," and blends elements of electro, pop and metal. Aeternum has toured with acts including A Killer’s Confession and Dogma.

Tickets are on sale now through participating venues. For additional information, visit the official social media pages of Ventana and Deadly Apples.
