JAH WOBBLE & TIAN QIYI to release 'Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles Psychedelic Psongbook' via Cherry Red Records

August 10, 2026

East London music icon Jah Wobble and Liverpool duo Tian Qiyi are ready to introduce 'Mystic Liverpool: The Beatles' Psychedelic Psongbook' to the world on August 14th via Cherry Red Records and Wobble's label 30 Hertz. Previewed by 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'Tomorrow Never Knows', these reimaginings treat the material as the genuinely mystical music it always was, with 'Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band' and 'Magical Mystery Tour' as particular touchstones.

These ten tracks travel through the most exploratory corners of The Beatles' catalogue. Not simply nostalgic covers, 'Mystic Liverpool' treats these songs as a starting point for something more personal: a meeting point between Liverpool, China and Mongolia, between family tradition and contemporary dub, and between the music Wobble grew up with and the musical world his sons have inherited.

Jointly produced by Jah Wobble (aka John Wardle) and his sons John T Wardle and Charlie Wardle (a.k.a. Tian Qiyi), this album was recorded and mixed by John T at Pagoda Studios in Liverpool. Together, they have made these songs uniquely their own, drawing on Wobble’s signature dub bass, John T’s drums, Chinese percussion and yangqin, and Charlie’s vocals, erhu and morin khuur. The boys' mother Zi Lan Liao — a Royal Academy of Music–trained harpist and the most recognized gu-zheng performer worldwide — also contributes gu-zheng on 'Strawberry Fields Forever'.

As of August 14th, the 'Mystic Liverpool' is available from digital music platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify, where 'Tomorrow Never Knows' and 'Strawberry Fields Forever' can also be found. In addition to the digital version, the album will also be released as a CD Digipack.

Jah Wobble & Tian Qiyi perform that day at Suffield Summer ¡Fiesta! 2026. Throughout 2026, Jah Wobble and The Invaders Of The Heart are also touring, with tickets at https://jahwobble.com/#live

The Intemperate Sons Release New Single + Video "The One That Eats You" via FRAME|WORK

August 10, 2026

Alt-Rockers, The Intemperate Sons, have released their new track, "The One That Eats You," from their upcoming third studio album, Ephemera, set for release in Fall 2026.

Some things you carry. Others carry you, quietly, until there's nothing left to recognize — that's the space The Intemperate Sons live in on "The One That Eats You." Produced with Amir Derakh, the track marks an evolution in the band's alt-rock sound, pulling in the post-punk and goth influences that have been living in their heads lately.

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.

WATCH the Official Music Video for "The One That Eats You" Below:

In the sweltering Dallas summer of 2019, before the onset of a global pandemic, The Intemperate Sons were born from blood, grit, and a shared obsession with the ghosts of alternative rock’s golden age. The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys—joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create a sound that’s equal parts searing riffs, haunting harmonies, and unapologetic soul. Think Alice in Chains’ brooding intensity, Stone Temple Pilots’ swagger, and R.E.M.’s poetic undercurrent, all filtered through a ‘70s rock haze that refuses to play it safe.

This isn’t just a band; it’s a family affair, where the unspoken bond between father and sons fuels every chord and lyric. Keith, a Dallas stage veteran, pens lyrics that cut deep—tales of regret, resilience, and the chaos of the human condition. Jake’s guitar lines, sharp yet soulful, weave narratives of their own, while Max’s voice carries the weight of a 25-year-old who’s lived a lifetime in his head. Mark, the groove-obsessed bassist, ties it all together.

The Intemperate Sons hit the ground running, catching the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man”that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) on singles like “Running Man” and “Dust to Dust” and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.

For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation—a reminder of why you fell in love with the genre’s raw honesty and a promise that its spirit still burns. The Intemperate Sons aren’t chasing trends; they’re carving their own path, one riff, one lyric, one night at a time.performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style which has a retro vibe with many guitar driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate on a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and even R.E.M.

The Intemperate Sons are:

Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass)

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

Saturday, August 29th @ Trees in Dallas, Texas

Saturday, September 12th @ Craft and Growler in Dallas, Texas

Devil Metal Quartet NUNSLAUGHTER Unleashes New Single "Listen to the Lies" + Official Video

August 10, 2026

Today, Cleveland’s unholy denizens of the underground, NUNSLAUGHTER, unleash their new single "Listen to the Lies," taken from the recently released album 'Satanic Chaos Legions,'out now via BLKIIBLK. The new track arrives alongside an official video.

On "Listen to the Lies," vocalist Don of the Dead shares:

"Religion is the biggest, blood-soaked lie ever imposed upon mankind! Rip the blindfold off and use your goddamn common sense, you brain-dead, ignorant bastards! Don't listen to the lies."

Watch the Official Video for "Listen to the Lies" Below:

A constant in extreme metal and an unyielding inspiration for generations of black metal and thrash provocateurs, NUNSLAUGHTER’s latest hymnal of brutality kicks off with a call to irreligious arms and doesn’t let go until the bloody end. Tracks like the grinding “Peukharist”or the uncompromising “Unsacrament” batter the senses like the bastard offspring of Slayerand 'Earth A.D.'-era Misfits, inverting crucifixes while worshipping at the hoof of the ibex.

Having already set fire to the international metal scene with festival appearances across the globe and a European tour on the way, make no mistake: NUNSLAUGHTER’s campaign of world-defilement is just beginning.

On the new album, Don of the Dead shares:

"With BLKIIBLK on our side, NUNSLAUGHTER can ram the black horn of Satan down the throats of every metalhead on the planet, spitting fresh venom and blistering hatred directly into the rotting face of Christianity with 'Satanic Chaos Legions.'"

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: Half Me Drop New Release

August 9, 2026

German hardcore powerhouse HALF ME announce their sophomore album DOGMA, set for release on October 23 via Arising Empire. The album is available for pre-order in a variety of exclusive formats. Following the band's relentless rise over the past years, the record marks their most ambitious and uncompromising work to date, expanding both their sonic identity and the conceptual depth that has become a defining characteristic of their music.

At its core, DOGMA is a reflection on a society willingly taking part in its own collapse. The album explores a world shaped by fear, manipulated through division and consumed by distractions that keep people from questioning the systems surrounding them. Truth and lies dissolve into blurred lines, leaving humanity trapped in a state of trauma induced ignorance where people unknowingly become complicit in their own demise.

According to the band, DOGMA begins from the unsettling assumption that the damage may already be irreversible. Rather than offering solutions, the album challenges listeners to question accepted narratives, confront absolute truths and look beyond the systems that thrive on fear, obedience and complacency. It is not a call to arms, but an invitation to think critically and look behind the dogma.

Musically, DOGMA sees HALF ME pushing their sound further than ever before. Combining crushing metallic hardcore, oppressive grooves and emotionally charged songwriting with an even stronger focus on atmosphere and dynamics, the album delivers some of the band's heaviest, darkest and most emotionally resonant material to date.

With DOGMA, HALF ME present an album that refuses to comfort or provide easy answers. Instead, it invites listeners to look behind the narratives they are taught to accept, question the structures that shape their reality and confront a society that may already be embracing its own collapse.

NEW SINGLE: The Toxhards Unmask “Mr. Clifford”

August 9, 2026

Theatrical alt-rock oddities, The Toxhards, have released their latest track, "Mr. Clifford", a gleefully deranged anthem based on the true story of Clifford Clinton and the kind of off-kilter storytelling that catapulted their smash hit "ÆNGUS, The Prize-Winning Hog" into millions of views. Out now via Hopeless Records, the brand new track flips the perspective to the corrupt politicians painting Clifford Clinton as a neighborhood nuisance with messiah complex tendencies, political delusions, and a smile that never quite reaches the eyes. Watch the video for the brand new track, "Mr. Clifford" BELOW.

Set against a manic, sing along groove, "Mr. Clifford" finds The Toxhards relishing a caricature of charm gone rotten. Equal parts creepy and catchy, the song builds its world around a figure who promises everything, poisons the well, and leaves the whole block wondering how things got so strange.

Following their previous single, "ALLIGATOR CROCODILE", The Toxhards continue to do what they do best - taking bizarre, specific characters and turning them into something universally entertaining. Weirdly fun, "Mr. Clifford" delivers the band's trademark blend of bite, humor, and theatrical chaos.

Armed with songs about hog gods, suburbia-induced panic, and love stories that fray at the edges, The Toxhards are continuing their Get Destructive Tour like a twenty six stop live wire experiment in how far they can push a rock show before it morphs into a full-blown cathartic meltdown with a mosh pit. Each night promises a slightly different strain of chaos, where the band will be swapping instruments, derailing songs into choreographed (and unchoreographed) bits, and crowd interaction that blurs the line between show and shared hallucination. Fans can purchase tickets now HERE.

What started as a casual hobby project among college friends has since grown into one of alternative rock's most distinctive cult followings. The Toxhards built their audience in the modern way, a breakout TikTok moment behind their single, "How Lucky Am I?" that snowballed into a string of increasingly unhinged fan favorites. First, "Doombop", a genre-blending blast of existential noise that cemented the band's reputation for delightful chaos. Then, "Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog", a song about a hog deity that somehow racked up over 7 million views across social media and even caught the attention of Hopeless Records, who signed the band in 2023.

Last year saw the release of their debut full-length concept album, "Your Neighborhood", a record that follows a young man's spiral through heartbreak, grief, isolation, and a brush with death that forces an uncomfortable reckoning. Earning widespread praise from Knotfest and The Needle Drop for the band's songwriting ambition, melodic instincts, and insane live presence, "Your Neighborhood" made it clear that The Toxhards are a band with something for everyone and everything for someone.

Stay tuned for more news from The Toxhards soon.

Weathers Drop New Single "Antidote" And Official Music Video via Big Machine Rock

August 9, 2026

Alt-rock powerhouse Weathers have released their latest banger "Antidote" and the official video. Prior to today, the band dropped "Happy Pills (Higher Dose)", breathing new life into the fan-favorite track "Happy Pills" (via Big Machine Rock). Speaking about the inspiration behind their release, the band shared:

“‘Antidote’ reflects personal experiences with having too much fun to the point of going off the rails. And then finding yourself unable to help yourself, therefore needing someone to help pick you back up even though you’ve hurt them during your downward spiral. We realized early on that the demo of this song captured a sense of vulnerability that couldn’t be recreated leading to most of the song being the original cuts including the vocals.”

Fans will have their chance to see the quartet tear up the stage across the US alongside alt-pop duo VOILÀ and Ella Red, on the theatrically immersive 'Moonbloom' tour, featuring aerial acts, sword swallowers, magicians, and jugglers. The tour kicks off on Tuesday, October 27 in Los Angeles, California at The Fonda, with No Love For The Middle Child joining the lineup for that evening only (ticket info here).

ABOUT WEATHERS

Southern California-based alternative rock band Weathers — lead singer/frontman Cameron Boyer, guitarist Cameron Olsen and bassist Brennen Bates — have been consistently creating finely crafted introspective pop songs heavily inspired by the counter-culture of the 80s and 90s since forming in 2015. The band makes music that speaks to those among us who tend to forget that, regardless of outward appearances, everyone is struggling with something and that no one is alone. Weathers’ story is a tale of growing up, of coming into one’s own, and includes themes of depression or anxiety and the often difficult maintenance of mental health.

They first grabbed listeners' attention with 2016's "Happy Pills," which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Initially, vocalist Boyer and guitarist Olsen met in 2012 while attending a battle of the bands in the Los Angeles suburb of Manhattan Beach. By 2015, they had formed Weathers, recruiting bassist Bates. Signing with RCA Records, they released their debut single, "I Don't Wanna Know," a swaggeringly moody song that drew comparisons to Walk the Moon and The Neighbourhood. Fans followed, and in March 2016 they landed a slot at SXSW. Their follow-up single, "Happy Pills," garnered the band even more attention, becoming the most added track to rock radio in July 2016. In 2018, they issued the Kids in the Night EP, featuring the single "1983."

August 9, 2026

Austin, Texas quartet Colorblind — vocalist Travis Moseley, drummer Tyler Moseley, bassist Nicholas Asper, and guitarist Justin Page — are sharing "LOST IN TRANSLATION," the final track to be released ahead of their upcoming debut album Who Sold You This Truth ++ Was It Yours To Hold. The album arrives on August 28 via Solid State. Pre-order it here.

Offering one last window into their long-awaited debut record, Travis Moseleyreflects on "Lost in Translation," one of the earlier songs written for Who Sold You This Truth ++ Was It Yours To Hold.

But the weird part is, we're probably all caught in the same illusion, even when we feel it alone."

Coated in a soothing, colorful atmosphere, "LOST IN TRANSLATION" pairs its understated pulse with Moseley's unmistakably emotive vocal delivery, offering another glimpse into the dynamic and nuanced world that Colorblind have built on their debut full-length.

Outlier Sign to Oxide Records Release New Single + Video "Digital Hell"

August 9, 2026

Outlier have officially signed with Oxide Records and are wasting no time making their arrival known with the release of their new single and music video, "Digital Hell." The track serves as both a warning and a wake-up call, tackling society's growing dependence on technology and the invisible grip it has on modern life.

"Digital Hell" asks a question few are willing to confront: Are we still controlling technology, or has it quietly begun controlling us?

"We built technology to serve humanity. Somewhere along the way, we began serving it. We traded privacy for convenience, presence for distraction, and truth for algorithms. The most dangerous prison isn’t one with walls, it’s the one we willingly carry in our pockets every day. The next false gods won’t ask to be worshipped, they’ll seek your attention. They’ll promise connection while feeding isolation, promise knowledge while drowning out wisdom, and promise freedom while quietly collecting every piece of who you are. 'Digital Hell' is the soundtrack to a world that may not realize what it’s losing until it’s already gone," says Joey Arena.

He adds, "Not every apocalypse arrives with fire. Some arrive one notification at a time. We surrender our privacy without resistance, mistake constant connection for genuine community, and allow the things we’ve created to define the people we’re becoming."

The release comes on the heels of vocalist Joey Arena's guest appearance on Motionless In White's latest single, "Fight Like Hell," further introducing his voice to an even wider audience.

Reflecting on the collaboration, Arena shared:

"Thank you so much to Motionless In White for having me be a part of something so special and throw down on 'Fight Like Hell.' I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this banger and the creative process. Absolutely loving the fan response and support. Keep running it up!"

With a new label home at Oxide Records and their most ambitious music to date, Outlier are positioning themselves as one of heavy music's most thought-provoking new voices, unafraid to challenge both listeners and the world around them.

"We are extremely excited to welcome Outlier to the Oxide Music roster. This is a band with deep roots in the rock & metal scene who align perfectly with our mission of building the next generation of heavy hitters," says Andrew Wetzel, Founder, Oxide Records.

"Digital Hell" is available now on all major streaming platforms.

FABIO FRIZZI, the iconic Italian composer, orchestrator, and conductor behind more than one hundred film and television scores, is known worldwide for his unforgettable collaborations with director Lucio Fulci.

Ian Munsick Releases New Song, “Palomino Eyes,” Off Upcoming Album

August 7, 2026

Wyoming native Ian Munsick continues to intertwine those Western themes he’s known for into his latest release, “Palomino Eyes,” available now. Listen Below.

Written by Munsick and Phil O’Donnell, “Palomino Eyes” places a cowboy’s lens onto rose-colored glasses, emphasizing the beauty of how the world is seen through a partner’s eyes.“Nine times out of ten a song title hits me days, weeks, months or even years before I actually sit down to write it. It’s extremely rare that an idea is born and I have the time and creative juice to write it from start to finish,” Munsick explains. “But when I was driving through the farmland of Tennessee on my way to write with one of my favorite songwriters, Phil O’Donnell, I saw a beautiful Palomino hanging by the fence with enamoring blue eyes. I thought to myself, ‘I have one of those waiting for me at home… Caroline.’”

He continues, “We wrote ‘Palomino Eyes’ in a few hours, unsure which part was the chorus and which part was the verse. That’s probably one of the reasons why it’s my personal favorite song on the album. It doesn’t follow a formula. It’s free and untamed, just like that Palomino and my beautiful wife.”

“Palomino Eyes” is the latest release off Munsick’s upcoming studio album, The Mountain Goat. Spanning 15 tracks, The Mountain Goat is Munsick’s first independent release via WEST TO THE REST RECORDS in partnership with Triple Tigers Records, and was produced by Munsick, Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson. Pre-save HERE.

Additionally, five D2C fan packs are available to pre-order on his online store, including an exclusive autographed zoetrope vinyl. Pre-order HERE.

Along with co-producing the album, Munsick also played an extensive role in the instrumentation heard on the record.

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.

Gavin Adcock Releases Anthem for the “Workin’ Man”

August 7, 2026

Raised running cattle on a farm in Watkinsville, Georgia, Thrivin Here Records/Warner Records Nashville’s Gavin Adcock is no stranger to hard work. As he prepares for his third studio album in three years, The Day I Hang It Up, due October 2, Adcock arrives today with an anthem for the “Workin’ Man.” Listen Below.

Written by Gavin Adcock, Luke Laird and Jimi Bell, “Workin’ Man” equates the dedication and discipline required for a hard day’s work to a dependable love.

“This song is for working people. The kind of people who put in long hours, take pride in what they do and make time for the people they love,” remarks Adcock. “My fans live that life. They work hard all week and come to our shows ready to have a good time. It’s also about knowing what you deserve. If somebody isn’t treating you right, there’s someone else out there who will. There’s nothing like having a good, hardworking person by your side.”

In an effort to further honor his fans’ work ethic, Adcock personally asked them to submit videos of their blue collar, “Workin’ Man” jobs for a curated music video. The request, made via his Instagram account, received an overwhelming response with nearly 4,000 videos submitted. The final music video, featuring nearly 500 fans, arrives tomorrow, Aug. 7 at 5pm CT to commemorate the end of the work week.

With American Songwriter dubbing him a “modern-day outlaw…building a career reminiscent of artists like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and more,” Adcock’s upcoming project is a continuation of the signature grit and adrenaline-fueled anthems that have garnered him over 2.4 billion career streams to-date.

The Day I Hang It Up limited edition signed vinyl and standard vinyl and CD available for pre-order now HERE.

Showing no signs of slowing down, Adcock’s headlining The Day I Hang It Up Tour is now underway with a rotating lineup of special guests including Pecos & The Rooftops, Corey Kent, Tyler Nance, Jake Worthington, The Creekers, Braxton Keith and Mack Geiger. The tour promises to deliver fans across 30 cities with a live show experience denoted by Music Row as a “rowdy, high-octane performance” which Adcock is known for.

A proven must-see live performer, Adcock has SOLD OUT venues via multiple headline tours spanning cost-to-coast such as the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour Presents: Gavin Adcock, his Actin’ Up Again (Again) Tour, and his Need To Tour. Most recently, Adcock joined Morgan Wallen for select dates on Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem Tour and his 2026 Still The Problem Tour, receiving explosive responses from audiences across the country.

Brake Drops Video For New Track "swingin'"

August 7, 2026

Pulling back the curtain with a wink, Texas-bred and North Carolina-based alternative pop provocateur BRAKE has signed with Better Noise Music and serves up a cheeky and catchy new single entitled "swingin," which is out now.

Listen to "swingin" here. Watch the music video Below.

The track layers his breezy, butter-smooth vocals over sun-kissed guitar and a head-nodding West Coast beat. Pulling no punches and hinting at what comes next, Brake immediately sets the scene —"Butt ass naked by the pool." He flexes his dynamic range on flirty verses until the feels and fire overflow during the refrain as he recognizes, "Something in the way I'm swingin' with you.”

The accompanying visual projects this energy on the screen. Brake personally wrote the treatment, while Graham Bishop directed it. You can practically see his words play out in the NSFW visual as he pulls up to a pool party (sans pants) and enjoys the warmth of a summertime bacchanal. In between, he performs flanked by a lingerie-clad backing band and groove-steady drummer.

It opens up his wild world and invites everyone in.

About the song, Brake says, "I wrote 'swingin' about an eye-opening experience I had at a swingers club in Vegas. I wanted to make a song that fully embraced the free love and body positive lifestyle that I experienced there. This song isn't necessarily about sex, but was written to open the door of acceptance and let people feel free to have an open and expressive mind even beyond their own fears and insecurities."

Better Noise Music Director of A&R Lexie Viklund states, "We're thrilled to welcome Brake to the Better Noise Music roster. From the moment we heard his music, it was clear he was bringing something different. He's an incredibly talented songwriter and performer, but what really stood out was his authenticity. His music is infectious, his artistry feels timeless, and he has a way of connecting with people that's impossible to fake."

Viklund continues, "At Better Noise, we love working with artists who are not only exceptional at what they do, but who are genuinely great people. Brake is exactly that kind of artist. He has an authentic voice, a fresh perspective, and the kind of personality that makes this business fun. Those are the artists who remind us why we do what we do."

This summer, Brake is utilizing the new artist-first concert platform PlayHouse to host and headline backyard and pool party performances. Created by Tyson Ritter of The All-American Rejects, the platform connects artists, fans, and space hosts to set up intimate, pre-sold, and ticketed shows in alternative spaces like backyards, lofts, and rooftops. Artists list a target number of ticket sales needed before committing to a physical venue or touring blind, and attendees are charged once the minimum demand threshold is met. In partnership with PlayHouse, Brake will perform in Tiki Island, TX on August 16. See more details here.

BRAKE'S SWINGIN' SUMMER TOUR DATES:
8/7 — Greensboro, NC
8/16 — Tiki Island, TX

9/15 — Dallas, TX — House of Blues Dallas — Cambridge Room

Norway’s Genre-Defying SHINING Unleashes New Single "NORTH" + Authentically Nordic Music Video

August 6, 2026

Today, SHINING have unleashed their new single “NORTH,” a ferocious collision of industrial metal, distorted screams, punishing riffs and the band’s unmistakable shrieking saxophone. The song is emboldened by a distinctive Nordic saxophone riff that will freeze your blood to ice.

“’NORTH’ is a salute to the ice-cold North—its darkness, its harsh winters and the defiance of the people shaped by them,” says SHINING founder Jørgen Munkeby. “At its core, it’s a song about Northern perseverance and ‘The Northern Way’: that stubborn, self-reliant spirit that has driven SHINING from the beginning.”

True to spirit, SHINING took complete control of the song’s creation; the band wrote, recorded and mixed it themselves in their own studio before travelling to drummer Simen Sandnes’ cabin in the Norwegian mountains to shoot the official video.

Watch the Music Video for "NORTH" Below:

“NORTH” arrives one day before SHINING brings their legendary ‘Blackjazz’ show to Bloodstock festival (UK) on August 7th. Further appearances are as follows:

SHINING Live:

August 7th — Bloodstock Open Air, Catton Park, Derbyshire, United Kingdom

November 3rd — Stengade, Copenhagen, Denmark

Avant-Grind Extremists SQUID PISSER Unleash New Single "Tumors"

August 6, 2026

Today, SQUID PISSER — the brainchild of Tommy Meehan (Grodius Maximus of GWAR) — unleashes their new single "Tumors," taken from their long-awaited full-length EP, 'Throat Slave,' set for release on August 28th via Skin Graft Records / Sweatband Records. The new track arrives alongside an official music video.

On the new single, Baxter Yogurt explains:

"A tumor is just a chaotic mass of cells growing out of control without a purpose. A destructive a**hole feeding off another life form because it can't survive on its own."

He continues, "The song is about people who spread chaos wherever they go while hiding behind manipulation, posturing, fear, and false confidence. People like that can seem larger than life until you realize they're just total parasites with no real personality of their own. They're faking everything they pretend to be, scrambling desperately and loudly for attention, conflict, and other people's pain because there's nothing of substance underneath. Even their identity is borrowed... Stitched together from the people they've used, envied, and tried to become. It's about seeing through that illusion and recognizing these people for what they really are: cowardly, pathetic, and ultimately insignificant."

Watch the Music Video Premiere for "Tumors" Below:

Following the sensory overload of 2024's 'Dreams of Puke,' Los Angeles slime merchants SQUID PISSER return with 'Throat Slave,' a "full-length EP" featuring five original songs, six demented remixes, and a foreboding introduction that pushes the band's increasingly strange universe into darker territory.

While retaining the band's trademark volatility and sonic intensity, 'Throat Slave' marks a significant evolution, embracing greater groove, atmosphere, and dynamic tension. It also serves as the first SQUID PISSER release to prominently feature the creative contributions of guitarists Michael Armendariz and Raz Azraai, expanding the band's sonic palette while preserving its uniquely unstable identity.

Side A explores paranoia, confrontation, self-examination, and release, using imagery of decay and mutation to examine the struggle to reclaim one's identity from manipulation and illusion. Side B transforms that vision through remixes by Plack Blague, Hyper Gal, Drumcorps, Fartbarf, Ecology: HomeStones, dj Embryonic Petit Sac, and KK Null (Zeni Geva), reimagining the material as electronic hallucinations, industrial rituals, mutant dance music, and psychedelic fever dreams.

Paired with the luminous, unsettling artwork of Bora Murmure, 'Throat Slave' emerges as SQUID PISSER's most immersive and adventurous release yet, occupying a space between nightmare and revelation.

As Baxter Yogurt puts it, “'Throat Slave' is a collection of songs about defending your identity from parasites... Whether they're people, institutions, bad habits, or the voice in your own head telling you to play it safe. The record is filled with bodily fluids, vermin, disease, and decay because that's what these forces feel like when they're attached to you and feeding. Every song is a battle between self-determination and surrender. The answer isn't self-improvement or enlightenment... It's trusting yourself enough to reject what's false. Don't become somebody else's 'Throat Slave.'”

TUNGSTEN Ignite the Fire with New Single "Fuego Del Sol"

August 6, 2026

Swedish melodic metal force TUNGSTEN unveil "Fuego Del Sol", the brand-new single from their upcoming studio album Ashes, slated for a release on October 9 via PERCEPTION – Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music. Blending the band's signature heavy sound with unmistakable Spanish and Latin American influences, the track delivers powerful riffs, infectious rhythms and a vibrant atmosphere that sets it apart from anything they've released before.

With its irresistible groove, soaring melodies and captivating hooks, "Fuego Del Sol" stands out as one of TUNGSTEN's most distinctive tracks to date. The single offers another exciting glimpse of the band's forthcoming album while proving there's still plenty of room to expand their signature sound.
Speaking about the track, vocalist Mike Andersson comments:

"Parts of the song are in Spanish, which made sense for the feel we were going for. It's a slightly different track for us, with a more rhythmic and warm character. My wife is Spanish, so that influence is naturally there. Coming from Northern Europe, we're drawn to that kind of atmosphere since it's so different for us."

Stream "Fuego Del Sol" Below:

Following a strong entry into the metal scene with their 2019 debut “We Will Rise” and a steady rise through albums like “Tundra,” and “Bliss,” the band now return with a powerful new chapter. Between touring and live performances throughout 2025, TUNGSTEN focused on writing material for their upcoming album, aiming to create a worthy follow-up to 2024’s “The Grand Inferno.”

Ashes sees TUNGSTEN continue their crusade, delivering irresistible metal with anthemic choruses and a fresh surge of energy that pushes their signature sound even further. The album captures everything the band stands for: powerful songwriting, massive hooks, and a dynamic mix of melody and heaviness that makes it one of their strongest and most focused releases to date!

In support of Ashes, the band will embark on a co-headline tour with INDUCTION, joined by special guests KILMARA. Following the tour, TUNGSTEN will play a string of headlining dates across Sweden and Norway. Find all upcoming shows listed below!

Nordjevel Sign to Season of Mist

August 6, 2026

The Norwegian black metal band are joining Season of Mist’s Underground Activists imprint. Along with the signing, the band are announcing a headline tour of Europe. This 12-date run begins in March 2027. It’s presented by Chäuer Studios Bärn and includes support from Svarttjern, Malphas and Unviâr.

Formed in 2015 by vocalist and lyricist Doedsadmiral, Nordjevel built its founding lineup on established Scandinavian talent, drawing early members from Marduk and Ragnarok. The band's sound shifted decisively in 2018 with the arrival of guitarist Destructhor (ex-Morbid Angel, Myrkskog, Zyklon), moving from the melodic, folk-inflected black metal of their 2016 self-titled debut toward the denser, death-informed attack that has defined Necrogenesis (2019) and Gnavhòl (2022). Doedsadmiral's lyrics, compiled years ahead of the music they eventually accompany, anchor the band's recurring themes of war, death, anti-Christianity, Norse mythology and esoteric darkness in the specificity of Norwegian landscape and history.

Nordjevel's live history includes Inferno, Wacken, Hellfest, Bloodstock, Maryland Deathfest and Brutal Assault. Earlier this year, the band completed a European tour alongside Aeternus.

New music from Nordjevel is coming soon.

Nordjevel Incantation Tour 2027

24 March -Warsaw, PL @ Voodoo Club
25 March - Krakow, PL @ Club Zascianek

TEMPERANCE Release "Death: Right Before We Die" + Video!

August 6, 2026

Italian symphonic power metallers TEMPERANCE delve deeper into their personal deck of Tarot with the release of "Death: Right Before We Die." The second single from their upcoming album Arcani, coming October 16 via Napalm Records, deals with an experience the band members shared while on tour. While having dinner in Tallinn, Estonia, during Sabaton Cruise 2024, the restaurant they stayed at caught on fire. That same day, guitarist Marco Pastorino wrote the main melody for the emotive mid-tempo song that now also features intense vocals.

Kristin Starkey about "Death: Right Before We Die":
"This song explores the existential threat to our mortality through the tarot card, Death. It is human nature to try to avoid this eventuality, but the ferryman always finds us. This song is about facing the inevitable 'end' not with despair, but by anchoring ourselves in the profound beauty of human connection and the love we share in the present moment. Ultimately, it's a personal anthem about survival and presence. It's a reminder to surrender to the journey, seize every single day, and remember that we have the power to define our own fate."

Watch the Official Music Video for "Death: Right Before We Die" Below:

Italian symphonic power metallers TEMPERANCE reshuffle the pack with their eighth album, Arcani, coming October 16, 2026 via Napalm Records. Structured around the divinatory practice of Tarot, each of the new songs follows a different card of the Major Arcana deck. Pouring their passion into 13 spellbinding songs with even catchier symphonic melodies than before, TEMPERANCE's bright future takes shape on Arcani.

Though not a direct concept album, TEMPERANCE position themselves as masters of narrative with their Tarot-themed album, Arcani. Their symphonic grandeur rising to new heights on their memorable seventh album, the Italian five-piece knows how to make their trademark alternating vocalists stand out. With the most personal lyrics of their career, the lines recorded in group sessions binding the band together even more, TEMPERANCE present a strong melodic piece of work, filled with power, passion, and perspective.

Marco Pastorino about Arcani:
"We are finally here to announce our new album Arcani! 13 incredible new songs that we have worked tirelessly on over the past year, and we are confident they will become an essential part of our live show. Epic symphonic arrangements, harmonies woven through our three distinctive voices, huge metal guitar solos, and a fantastic production! After our adventures around the globe supporting the magical world of Hermitage, we have returned with something magical once again. Welcome to the world of Arcani."

NYHC Crossover Pioneers CRO-MAGS Pay Tribute to their Debut Album with 'The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel' Out on November 13th via BLKIIBLK

August 6, 2026

Today, CRO-MAGS, the iconic New York hardcore outfit fronted by Harley Flanagan, proudly announces their new album, 'The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel,' a tribute to their 1986 seminal debut. Following the release of the original single "Wired for Chaos," the band now shares the 2026 version of "World Peace," alongside an official music video, available below.

On the decision to honor 'The Age of Quarrel,' Harley shares:

"It all started with the making of the 'Wired for Chaos' movie, but there were several reasons for revisiting 'The Age of Quarrel.' None of the people who played on the original record ever got paid, and none of us ever received an accounting of the album's sales. For years, I tried to reunite the original lineup to re-record it and reclaim the rights to 'The Age of Quarrel' and 'Best Wishes' through the Copyright Reversion Act. But I couldn't get everyone together to take back ownership of the music, and that window has now closed."

He continues, "We had to re-record a few songs for the 'Harley Flanagan: Wired for Chaos' documentary soundtrack because the original recordings couldn't be licensed. That inspired me to finish the entire album. To honor 'The Age of Quarrel,' I brought together friends, current bandmates, and musicians from other bands to celebrate these songs that have meant so much to so many people, myself included. Forty years later, everyone who wrote these songs will finally be paid through ASCAP and BMI, and the remaining proceeds will go to charity. I'm doing my best to make things right. These songs belong to the fans. I'm washing my hands of the past and trying to clear the bad karma from this record. Love wins. My quarrel is over."

Check Out the Music Video for "World Peace (2026)"

Forty years ago, New York City's CRO-MAGS defined the metal-punk crossover with their landmark 1986 album, ‘The Age of Quarrel.’ The intensity, influence, and groove of that record continue to resonate today, fueled by the band's enduring legacy and hard-earned reputation as one of heavy music's most volatile and influential acts. Now led by founding bassist and vocalist Harley Flanagan, who assumed frontman duties beginning with 1989's ‘Best Wishes,’ CRO-MAGS bring ‘The Age of Quarrel’ full circle with a celebration of the album that started it all.

Joining Flanagan are original ‘AOQ’ guitarist Doug Holland, former CRO-MAGS/ Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George, and members of modern-day acolytes Turnstile and Rise Against for fresh takes on classics including "Hard Times," "World Peace," and "Malfunction," along with the addition of the 1985 demo-era favorite "Everybody's Gonna Die." Drums on all tracks were handled by drum phenom Greyson Nekrutman. Produced and mixed by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Blood Incantation), ‘40 Years of Quarrel’ not merely revisits a pivotal crossover classic, but pours new fuel on the fire for old devotees and new converts to the CRO-MAGS cause.

CHRIS SCHELER Reflects on Life's Highs and Lows with Inspiring New Single "Seasons,"

August 6, 2026

Singer-songwriter and guitarist CHRIS SCHELER releases his powerful new single, "Seasons," today, delivering an emotionally honest, guitar driven pop rock anthem that explores the ever changing journey of life. Blending heartfelt lyricism with soaring melodies and dynamic instrumentation, "Seasons" reminds listeners that even life's darkest moments eventually give way to brighter days.

Built around driving guitars and an uplifting musical backdrop, "Seasons" captures the emotional cycle of triumph, adversity, growth, and renewal. While the song's lyrics embrace moments of reflection and melancholy, they ultimately offer a message of resilience and hope encouraging listeners to keep moving forward, no matter what season of life they find themselves in.

"Seasons is about going through the ups and downs of life. You're having a great time and then suddenly an obstacle presents itself. You go through a struggle, but you overcome the obstacle and grow. The cycle repeats. The song is also about the passing of time and how certain things change and others remain constant."

— Chris Scheler

The single showcases Scheler's ability to blend thoughtful storytelling with infectious rock sensibilities. His expressive vocals and guitar work serve as the emotional backbone of the track, creating a song that feels equally personal and universally relatable.

Recorded at The Kaleidoscope in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, CHRIS SCHELER performed vocals, guitars, and bass on the track. Jon Smith and Ben Roth engineered, mixed, and mastered the song while also contributing additional guitar and bass layers, giving "Seasons" its rich sonic depth. Drums were performed by Robin Diaz, whose energetic performance was engineered by Lionel Andre in West Hollywood, California, adding a powerful rhythmic foundation that drives the song from beginning to end.

With "Seasons," Scheler delivers more than just another pop rock single he offers a reminder that growth often comes through life's greatest challenges. As listeners navigate their own personal victories and setbacks, the song serves as an anthem of perseverance, healing, and optimism.

Releasing today, August 6, "Seasons" is poised to resonate with anyone who has ever faced uncertainty, embraced change, or found strength through adversity. It is a compelling introduction to CHRIS SCHELER'S authentic songwriting and a testament to music's ability to connect through shared human experience.

On August 23, Scheler will open for national touring band, Plush, at Capital City Music Hall in Harrisburg, PA. Major Moment and Observe the 93rd are also on the bill.
