Badsquatch Releases New Single + Video “Nakupenda"

The continuously polarizing artist known as BADSQUATCH offers up
the fourth single from his debut album, a fourteen-track double EP that he
refers to as a mental health piece. The dark and light contrasts that have
been present in the first releases by this new creative are even more
present as this song “Nakupenda” almost seems to come from a
completely different world as the previous single.

Following up that last tune about soul-crushing heartbreak wrought
with heavy guitars and blistering vocals, the new song “Nakupenda” does a
complete turnaround, opening with sounds of a babbling brook followed by
slow and beautifully methodical acoustic chords that lead into
BADSQUATCH’s soft, yet warm and inviting vocals. The name of the song,
the phrase for “I love you” in Swahili, is confirmed to be a kind of title-track
of the I LUV YOU side of the album, but it is also a nod to the
African-inspired percussion instrumentation and lyrical themes of flowing
with the river toward the ocean, mentioned by the artist to be further
inspired by stories of the Nile River.

In this song, these lyrical themes set this single even further apart
from the rest of his recent releases, speaking with an air of wisdom that can
only come from somebody that has experience with not just pain and
suffering, but also the coming to terms with it, the process of ‘healing’, and
moving forward in life. Utilizing metaphors and thought-provoking lines
alluding toward a search for peace, the themes of the song directly match
the very calm, inviting, and disarming instrumentation delivered to us.

With this acoustic single, BADSQUATCH has now shown us four
completely different looks as an artist: first an industrial anthem about
self-loathing, followed by an 80’s dance/workout song about moving your
body, and most recently, a gritty and gut-wrenching song painting a picture
of the moment your heart breaks. Now, we get to experience this acoustic
adventure down a river of gratitude and healing. It seems whatever
BADSQUATCH has for us next, like Sasquatch legend, is a total mystery.

MARILYN MANSON RELEASES ONE ASSASSINATION UNDER GOD – CHAPTER 2

Rock/metal icon MARILYN MANSON has released his highly anticipated new album, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2, available now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records. To mark the occasion, MANSON has also unveiled the official music video directed by Anthony Silva (@poisonpix) for the album's opening track, ‘Unalive,’ expanding on his signature dark, cinematic vision.

Co-written and co-produced alongside longtime collaborator Tyler Bates, One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 finds MANSON pushing even deeper into the stark, cinematic landscape introduced on its predecessor. Balancing crushing industrial intensity with haunting melody and moments of unsettling beauty, the nine-song collection, including ‘Unalive’ and recent singles ‘Exit Wound’ and ‘Front Toward Enemy,’ stands among his most focused and immersive works to date.  

Following today's release, MARILYN MANSON returns to the road next week for a major North American tour, bringing One Assassination Under God – Chapter 2 to audiences across the U.S. alongside Rob Zombie before continuing with additional headline performances this fall.

CAGE FIGHT Releases Remix of "Oxygen" by French Multi-Instrumentalist Kabbel

Today, UK metal outfit CAGE FIGHT, fronted by vocal powerhouse Rachel Aspe, release a new version of their recent single and video, “Oxygen.” This latest take on their most-streamed track has been reworked by Kabbel, the French multi-instrumentalist based in Sweden who has previously collaborated with artists including Perturbator, Cemetery Skyline, and Imer6ia.

The original version of “Oxygen,” which is “about a fight against time, when everything becomes overwhelming and suffocating,” according to Rachel, appears on the band’s second studio album, ‘Exuvia,’ released via Spinefarm on May 1, 2026.

Discussing the fresh interpretation of the fast-paced, energetic track, the band explains:

“We agreed that a hard electronic version would be awesome. Given that we're playing multiple festivals in France, and it's Rachel's home country, we thought it would be great to collaborate with a French artist, and Kabbel couldn't have been more perfect. His work on ‘Oxygen’ captures the intensity and stressful feeling of the original, but his skilful production and eclectic synth take the song into an entirely new realm. Play this loud!”

Stream / Listen to "Oxygen (Kabbel Remix)" HERE

Recorded by Sam Bloor (Graphic Nature, Dream State) and mixed by Jim Pinder (Sleep Token, Malevolence), ‘Exuvia’ retains the raw, hardcore heart of CAGE FIGHT, whilst also exploring more multi-layered terrains, making the music sound bigger, tighter, more epic.  

Throughout the album, the band proves their desire to experiment… and have a bit of fun, too – "Pick Your Fighter" is inspired by French pop number "Et C'est Parti…" by Nâdiya, who recently revisited the song.

The bulk of the lyrics on ‘Exuvia’ are written by Rachel, and the results are deeply personal; the expansive final track, "Élégie," is about losing her grandfather and the regret that can come from things left unsaid.  

On "Pig," meanwhile, she calls out the creepy men who send women unsolicited messages online, while the title track was inspired by her grandmother, currently battling cancer, who also contributed to the lyrics.

Order 'Exuvia' HERE 

Since launching onto the scene with their debut self-titled album (2022), CAGE FIGHT have built a reputation for visceral, high-energy live performances; they’ve toured with acts such as Sepultura, Cro-Mags, Napalm Death and Employed To Serve, and played numerous European festivals, including Summer Breeze, Bloodstock and RADAR.

Wage War Share "Sweet Dreams" Video — WATCH // Band Gearing Up for Fall 2026 Headline Tour

Florida's WAGE WAR — Briton Bond [lead vocals], Cody Quistad [rhythm guitar, clean vocals], Seth Blake [lead guitar], Chris Gaylord [bass], and Stephen Kluesener [drums] — recently released the It Calls Me By Name EP via Fearless Records. Listen here. It was a vicious selection of tracks where the band elected to indulge the more brutal side of its sound.

Today, they the release the video for the brand new standalone single "SWEET DREAMS." And it continues the recent trajectory. While Wage War may have titled the new song "SWEET DREAMS," it sounds like the soundtrack to your nightmare. And if you are a musical masochist who likes it loud, fast, brutal, and bloodcurdling, this song answers the call. But it's not all bluster and sonic fists of fury. Rather, the band drops melodic vocals smack dab in the middle of the maelstrom to give you a bit of a breather and to make you think. It's an excellent execution of dynamics. 

Watch the video Below. 

"'Sweet Dreams' is a song about being deceived by the world around you," the band explains. "About safety in a sense of blissful ignorance. Sonically, it draws inspiration from all of our previous work over the last 10 years."

Indeed, it combines Wage War's past and present to create something entirely explosive and new.

Wage War will return to U.S. stages for a headline tour this fall, with We Came As Romans, Varials, and Cane Hill as support. The "Emergncy Broadcast" tour kicks off October 25 in San Antonio and runs through Novemebr 27 in Orlando in the band's native Florida. Get tickets here.

The Drowns "Have a Heart" —WATCH + LISTEN

Seattle punk rockers The Drowns have shared "Have A Heart" from their upcoming full length album Harsh Reality, which releases September 18 via Pirates Press Records.

Watch the video Below.

Harsh Reality features 13 new songs produced by punk rock legend Bill Stevenson (Descendents, Black Flag) at The Blasting Room in Fort Collins, CO. Pre-orders are available from Pirates Press Records, as well as Coretex Records in Europe & Plastic Head Megastore in the UK.

All in all, Harsh Reality, recorded by Stevenson and mixed by Jason Livermore(Teenage Bottlerocket), is an unapologetically political punk record.

Stevenson certainly got the best out of the band's songwriting and playing. Vocalist/guitarist Rev Peters, vocalist/bassist Andy Wylie, and drummer Jake Margolis largely bashed out the tracks themselves, with the exception of additional guitar work on "Vengeance" by Zach Blair (Rise Against, Only Crime, GWAR), and a touch of accordion on "3rd & Pike" courtesy of Matt Hensley (A-100s, Flogging Molly). This collection of 13 new songs fuses everything fans have loved about the band's previous sonic experimentation and focuses it into laser-tight melodic songwriting firmly rooted in punk rock, but with the potential to reach listeners from all walks of life.

It's a record poised to give the band's hard-earned position as a fan-favorite in the global punk scene an even greater trajectory. For a band that has won over fans around the globe, record by record and show by show, it is a big statement, but simply put: Harsh Reality is The Drowns at the top of their game.

Harsh Reality is now available for pre-order the album from the Pirates Press Records webstore on 12" Classic Black Vinyl (/100), 12" Iridescent Green Vinyl (/600), 12" Into the Deep Marble Vinyl (/600), or 12" Halloween Orange Vinyl with Blood Red Ripple (/1400)! 12" Stardust Torrent Vinyl (/100) has already sold out during pre-order. The album is also available on CD.

Along with the album, brand new merch is also available now, including T-shirts, hoodies, hats, enamel pins, and patches!Fans in Europe can order from Coretex Records and get a Coretex Exclusive 12" Metallic Gold Vinyl variant (/100), while Seattle locals can inquire with Georgetown Records about their exclusive 12" Sea Blue Smoke Vinyl variant! Both of these limited edition variants are while supplies last! And finally, fans in the UK can order from Plastic Head Megastore!

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: Blacktoothed Drop A New Release

With their new single "WILL YOU SURVIVE WHEN I DEVOUR YOUR HEARTBEAT" arriving on August 13, Leipzig based modern metalcore trio blacktoothed reach a new level of emotional and sonic intensity. As another chapter of the band's evolving FERAL BLOOM era, the track explores the unsettling relationship between pain, repression and transformation. Here, the greatest threat is not an external force but the voice that has always existed within.

Watch the video Below:

Driven by crushing riffs, soaring melodies and emotionally charged vocal performances, "WILL YOU SURVIVE WHEN I DEVOUR YOUR HEARTBEAT" gives shape to trauma itself. The song speaks from the perspective of an inner darkness that refuses to disappear, confronting the listener with every wound they have tried to bury. Rather than glorifying suffering, blacktoothed reveal the consequences of suppressing emotional pain until it inevitably demands to be acknowledged.

Lyrics such as "I am the ringing sound inside your ear, the numbing pain you'd wish to disappear" and "Did you ever care to feel your wounds?" turn internal conflict into something almost tangible. The song builds towards its haunting central question, "Will you survive when I devour your heartbeat?" Not as a threat, but as an invitation to confront what has long been ignored. It asks how long a person can continue running from the parts of themselves they refuse to face.

The closing image of a "feral bloom inside your chest" perfectly captures the song's central message. Growth and destruction exist side by side, suggesting that true healing can only begin once buried emotions are allowed to surface. The result is a cinematic and uncompromising piece that balances crushing heaviness with striking vulnerability.

Since their formation, blacktoothed have become one of Germany's most exciting modern heavy acts, seamlessly combining metalcore, alternative rock, electronic elements and memorable hooks into a sound that is unmistakably their own. Their acclaimed releases JULI, Headway and the Antidote EP have demonstrated a band that continues to evolve while staying emotionally fearless.

The trio has shared stages with artists including Bad Omens, The Ghost Inside, The Amity Affliction, Emmure, Polaris, Wargasm, Annisokay, and Thundermother, earning a reputation for intense live performances and uncompromising songwriting. With a rapidly growing international audience and millions of streams across digital platforms, blacktoothed continue to establish themselves in the new generation of modern metal.

With "WILL YOU SURVIVE WHEN I DEVOUR YOUR HEARTBEAT", blacktoothed deliver one of their most powerful and emotionally charged songs to date. It is a relentless collision of vulnerability and aggression that perfectly embodies the spirit of FERAL BLOOM and proves once again that the band's greatest strength lies in transforming deeply personal struggles into music with universal impact.

8/15 — Dinkelsbühl, Germany — Summer Breeze Open Air 2026

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: Thrown Drop A New Release

Swedish metalcore phenomenon thrown return with "critic," a ferocious new single arriving via Arising Empire. Sharp-tongued, crushingly heavy, and unapologetically confrontational, the track takes aim at self-appointed tastemakers, performative outrage and the endless cycle of online commentary, proving once again that thrown thrive where others merely make noise.

Watch the video Below:

Fueled by venomous vocals, bone-crushing grooves and explosive breakdowns, "critic" is a ruthless response to a culture obsessed with opinions, metrics and manufactured controversy. Rather than entertaining the constant stream of unsolicited judgment, thrown turn every accusation, hot take, and clickbait headline into pure creative fuel. With lines like "All of a sudden everyone's a critic"and "You really think I care if you don't fuck with it?," the band makes one thing abundantly clear: Outside validation means nothing when the music speaks louder than the noise surrounding it. Lyrically, "critic" dismantles the obsession with streaming numbers, self-proclaimed experts and those desperately chasing relevance through negativity. It's a fearless statement about staying true to your vision while refusing to be distracted by online outrage or empty commentary. Brutal, direct and relentlessly infectious, the track captures thrown at their most confident and uncompromising.

Since emerging from Stockholm, thrown have established themselves as one of the fastest-rising forces in modern heavy music. Their debut EP EXTENDED PAIN surpassed 50 million streams and remained in Spotify's Global Metal Top 200 for nearly a year, while their acclaimed debut album EXCESSIVE GUILT catapulted the quartet onto the international stage. Extensive touring alongside acts including Knocked Loose, Counterparts, Fit For A King, While She Sleeps, Wage War, and many more has cemented their reputation as one of metalcore's most explosive live bands. The band has also been honored with Heavy Music Awards wins for Best Breakthrough Live Artist (2024) and Best Breakthrough Album (2025). Today, thrown continue their meteoric rise with well over one million monthly Spotify listeners and hundreds of millions of streams worldwide.

With "critic," thrown refuse to soften their edges or hold back their frustration. Instead, they deliver another devastating anthem built to ignite stages, silence doubters and remind everyone why they have become one of the most talked-about names in contemporary metalcore. "critic" is out August 14, 2026 on all streaming platforms.

GREEN LUNG - Hijack The Airwaves With New Single 'Black Magick Radio'

In the outlaw spirit of 1960s pirate radio, Green Lung have hijacked the airwaves to broadcast their own distinctive form of sonic propaganda. Turning the dial left and tuning into vintage influences from Lucifer’s Friend to Black Widow, new single 'Black Magick Radio' traces the history of occult rock itself, as well as namechecking London proto-goth landmarks such as Le Macabre (a Soho cafe where you could ‘drink your coffee off a coffin’) and The Process Church of the Final Judgement (a pre-Manson cult based in Mayfair). A celebration of magickal rock through the ages and around the world, this new transmission will charm initiates and ipsissimi alike.

'Black Magick Radio' is taken from Green Lung's upcoming studio record, Necropolitan, due out on Friday September 11th 2026. A monumental portrait of the power of nature over the dreams and dominion of humankind, Necropolitan is also a grand celebration of the occult lore and heavy music scene of the band’s birthplace, the city of London.

A video directed by Billy Howard Price premieres today, featuring a model suburban family rendered helpless in the radius of the song’s occult power.

With producer Tom Dalgety (Opeth, Ghost) at the helm, this time handling everything from recording to mixing, the band decamped to Rockfield Studios in January 2026, following in the muddy footprints of some of their key inspirations, from Black Sabbath to Queen to Judas Priest. Sonically, they were set on capturing their megalithic live sound more accurately than ever - stripping back their usual dense, multilayered arrangements to their rawest, leanest form and recording much of the album live to capture their Sabbathian heaviness, frenzied Hammonds and haunting Mellotrons as faithfully as possible.

The result is an album that combines the soaring hookiness of This Heathen Land with an uncompromising rawness and heaviness, and takes the band’s distinctive brand of sonic storytelling to macabre new heights.  

If, a year after Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning show and the death of Ozzy Osbourne, you had any doubts about the future of traditional British metal, Necropolitan will lay them to rest. Here is a band taking the torch from the heavy metal godfathers and running with it, bursting with all the musicianship and storytelling flair that has kept the genre’s flame burning for a half-century, and using it to temper a lyrical and sonic world that is entirely their own. 
 

A cult band in every sense of the word, Green Lung emerged from London’s heavy rock scene with self-released debut EP Free the Witch (2018).

Drawing on a host of peculiarly British musical influences, from doomy hard rock to pastoral prog and psych to the Hammer Horror theatrics of the NWOBHM, the band have swiftly risen to the forefront of the UK metal scene.

Lyrically celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of Britain, they conjure the wild and witchy spirit of their forebears for a new generation.

Green Lung have released three critically acclaimed albums, Woodland Rites (2019), Black Harvest (2021) and This Heathen Land (2023). They have toured internationally with Clutch, Opeth and Unto Others, and performed on festival stages from Roadburn to Download. Their latest album This Heathen Land landed at #1 on the UK’s Official Rock and Metal Album Chart.

As a second glimpse into their upcoming album, Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath, coming October 16 via Napalm Records, the new single describes the chaos the album’s protagonist, Angus McFife V, has to deal with in the face of intergalactic battle. The alleged safe haven is overrun by demons in this memorable track, the future is uncertain.

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.

Hard Rock Legends NIGHT RANGER Unveil Newly Remastered Single "When You Close Your Eyes (2026)" + Visualizer

Today, hard rock veterans NIGHT RANGER are proud to unveil the newly remastered version of "When You Close Your Eyes (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.

'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 "When You Close Your Eyes (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.

DISTANT Drop New Single and Video for "Flesh and Nails" from Album "Into Despair"

While the release day for their upcoming album, Into Despair, is slowly approaching, DISTANT are releasing another single that showcases the strong bonds within the deathcore community. After already appearing on fan-favorite "Argent Justice," Kyle Medina has once again lent his vocals to the latest single and video “Flesh and Nails." If you've ever wondered what deathcore in a haunted pool looks and sounds like, watch the video below, which was produced and filmed by Bart Sperling.

The band comments, "On 'Flesh & Nails,' we join forces with our longtime friend Kyle Medina for a powerful and uncompromising exploration of betrayal, deception, and broken trust. The track confronts the reality of those who hide behind false loyalty, only to turn their backs when it matters most. Channelling anger, frustration, and hard-earned clarity, 'Flesh & Nails' captures the emotional weight of discovering who people truly are when the façade falls away. It stands as a visceral statement on betrayal and the lasting scars left by those closest to us."

It is the next single taken from the upcoming album, Into Despair, which will be released on November 6. Pre-order HERE. 

Into Despair is DISTANT's most personal and emotional work to date, exploring real-life struggles, loss, and the shared grief that connects humanity. The album dives deep into the darker corners of the human experience while finding solace in collective understanding. DISTANT elaborate, "Driven by raw honesty and pure emotion, Into Despair is an album born from personal battles and lived experiences. Every song carries pieces of each member's own journey, with moments of pain, reflection, and resilience woven into a deeply intimate body of work. More than just a collection of songs, Into Despair is a cathartic expression of vulnerability and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, grief is something we all share. It stands as the band's most heartfelt and authentic statement yet, transforming personal suffering into something universally resonant."

DISTANT are keeping things busy and their grim, ultra-heavy deathcore on the road. After already touring Europe with Sylosis, they just finished another U.S. run including several shows with In Flames and Thrown. Come January of 2027, you can catch them on the "New World Killer EU/UK 2027" tour with Spite, Emmure, and Mauled.

(Hed) P.E. Launch Creator One Records, Release New Single + Video "Violent Girl" ​

For more than three decades, (HED) P.E. have refused to follow trends, choosing instead to forge their own path through a fearless fusion of punk, metal, hip-hop, and hard rock. Now, the California pioneers are taking that independent spirit to the next level with the launch of their own record label, Creator One Records, built around one simple philosophy: Created By The People. For The People.

Kicking off this exciting new chapter, (HED) P.E. have unleashed their new single and music video, "Violent Girl." The track is from their forthcoming new album Relapse due out this October and delivers the raw intensity and unmistakable attitude that have defined the band's career while leaving listeners with plenty to unpack beneath the surface.

Frontman Jahred Gomes explains:

"Violent Girl is not a song about a girl! It's an analogy, a metaphor. I'd rather the listener figure it out than just give away the secrets."

Rather than offering easy answers, "Violent Girl" invites fans to interpret its meaning for themselves, continuing the band's tradition of pairing hard-hitting music with thought-provoking themes.

The launch of Creator One Records represents another milestone in (HED) P.E.'senduring DIY legacy. Built on the belief that artists should maintain creative freedom and connect directly with their audience, the label embodies its mission statement: Created By The People. For The People.

Fans can catch the band on the road this fall as they join Nonpoint and Spineshank on the "Even More Outta Control Tour," bringing their legendary live show to audiences across the country while ushering in this bold new era.

With the launch of Creator One Records, the release of "Violent Girl," and a nationwide tour, (HED) P.E. continue to do what they've always done best: create music on their own terms while staying true to the fans who have supported them every step of the way.

French Folk Band SKÁLD Release "Himinbjǫrg" Video

French ritualists SKÁLD lift the veil to reveal another glimpse into our ancient destiny. "Himinbjǫrg," the second single off of their upcoming album, Ørlǫg (coming September 25 via Napalm Records), reaches far out to the edge of Asgard, realm of the Gods. At the eponymous castle in the sky, Heimdall keeps watch for invaders at the rainbow bridge, Bifröst. SKÁLD lend Asgard's guardian an assertive voice, letting the song serve as an emphatic yet reassuring guide through our sometimes-clouded destiny. The drum-driven song extends the folk musicians' invitation to step into ancient times and dance among reawakened spirits.

SKÁLD about "Himinbjǫrg":
"'Himinbjǫrg' invites us to step onto the threshold, to the gateway at the edge of the sky, to face the guardian's gaze—are we ready to be judged as we reach the end of the bridge? These cliffs in the sky are a mirror of our actions, our ambitions, our Ørlǫg; it is a long journey toward something greater — let us ride on without fear."

Watch the Official Music Video for "Himinbjǫrg"Below:

Ancient spirits come alive as SKÁLD extend an invitation into times long gone but not forgotten. Ørlǫg, coming September 25, 2026, is their first album via Napalm Records, and it is our destiny. As the Norns weave our future, this album is a fascinating passageway into our pristine origins and the consequences of our choices. Ten new songs as stepping stones, Ørlǫg is an offering to listen, to dwell, to reflect—and to find something within yourself previously unknown. SKÁLD don't just play music, they awaken ancient ways.

A staple band in the genre, SKÁLD deliver a striking work of art with their latest album, deferentially using their sources to keep old spirits alive and form the enchanting world of Ørlǫg. The language might sound unfamiliar, but the music still touches the soul.

SKÁLD about Ørlǫg:
"Ørlǫg is the cosmic web that influences the world and every person. Part of our Ørlǫg is determined by our birth, our past actions, and our upbringing, but Ørlǫg is not set in stone; our daily choices are constantly shaping it. What we do now and what we have done in the past determines what will happen to us in the future; we cannot escape the consequences of our actions. This album makes us question our choices—both individual and collective—and the patterns we accept or reject. The Norns weave our destiny, but we can take control of certain things: travel, ride worlds, and grow. Each song on this album describes a situation, a place, a choice to be made. Let's take hold of our Ørlǫg."

Hard Rockers NESTOR Unleash Live Version of "Teenage Rebel"

Swedish hard rockers NESTOR are set to release their first ever live album Live at Gothenburg Film Studios this August 14 via Napalm Records! Today, the band has revealed the final single with a powerful live version of their celebrated '80s-inspired anthem "Teenage Rebel," together with a live video. "Teenage Rebel" was originally released as the title track of the band's critically acclaimed latest studio album (2024) that received international chart success, including reaching #12 on Official German Album Charts and #19 in Sweden. Drenched in nostalgia, the song features epic riffing, emotion-loaded melodies and a massive chorus that shines even brighter than before on the live version. Watch the captivating live video below, and secure your copy of Live at Gothenburg Film Studios now!

Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:
"'Teenage Rebel' is all about lost youth. About being careless. About being fearless and living every day like there's no tomorrow. We believe that message really shines through in this live performance of the song."

Check Out the Live Video for "Teenage Rebel" Below:

Live at Gothenburg Film Studios treats fans old and new to a hefty selection of live versions of future classics from NESTOR's celebrated catalogue. The band brings the heat with a new rendition of the track "Firesign" (originally from Kids in a ghost town, 2021) — catchy riffs and rhythms carry the heavily '80s-inspired, authentic sound that is topped with impressive rock vocals. The nostalgia-drenched following track "Teenage Rebel" (title track of the latest studio album, 2024) gets audiences singing along without a failure with its irresistible chorus that is accompanied with emotion-loaded melodies and massive riffs. Further highlights of this extensive, 16-track offering include a live rendition of one of the biggest NESTOR hits to date, "On The Run" (also from the praised debut Kids in a ghost town, 2021).

This comprehensive live album, available even as a DVD, draws from NESTOR's impressive repertoire of arena-worthy anthems and rock ballads, polished with the very best AOR and classic '80s rock influences. Without a doubt, NESTOR continue their steady mission to restore the glory of rock!

Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:
"When I listen to Live at Gothenburg Film Studios, it becomes clear to me that it shows everything that NESTOR was about, from the beginning. A live performance with all the little quirks and mistakes that makes it human, a thing that I have learned to love even more in an era of AI-generated music. Live at Gothenburg Film Studios is less clinical and more of a human experience in comparison to our studio albums and shows a different side of NESTOR. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did recording it up on stage."

8/15 — Falköping, SE — NestorFest 2026

Gåte Release New Single "Strandvaskar"

Gåte are one of the most distinct bands to come out of Norway. The band have topped the Norwegian charts, won a Norwegian Grammy and represented Norway in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. Now, they are expanding their groundbreaking mix of Nordic folk and modern rock on their upcoming new album Sigil.

Today, Gåte are releasing “Strandvaskar” as the second advanced single from Sigil.  With Hardanger fiddle and mystical electronics, the song pulls from the Norwegian superstition that a body washed ashore must be given a proper burial, lest the sea return to reclaim what it’s lost.  

Listen to “Strandvaskar” below.

Sigil comes out September 25 on Season of Mist.

Pre-order

https://orcd.co/gatesigil

Sigil is Gåte’s most ambitious album yet. The album recounts ancient legend and folk narratives to ask what survives once illusion falls away.

"Strandvaskar" names the drowned rather than the finder. The song stages a quiet, unresolved dialogue between the two: a voice with no sound that speaks, eyes that flicker and slowly fill with blue as the sea reclaims its own. The narrator is pulled toward the dead and pulls back, not from horror but fear, letting go rather than being able to hold on.

Gåte’s upcoming fall tour will bring the band to nine cities across Norway, plus one date in Istanbul, Turkey. During this ten date run, they will perform  new songs from Sigil, along with fan favorites from their celebrated discography.

October 23 - Trondheim, Norway @ Havet [TICKETS]

Finnish Modern Metal Outfit BLIND CHANNEL Announces 6th Studio Album ‘Painstream’ Out on October 30th via Century Media

Finnish chart-topping modern metal outfit BLIND CHANNEL are back. 

After 1.5 years of deliberate silence, the 5-piece outfit returns with a grown attitude and hunger for a new musical chapter.

‘Painstream’ is BLIND CHANNEL’s 6th studio album, which will be out via Century Media on October 30th. The 12 new powerful tracks lead through the pain of growth, sharp self-reflection, and explosive energy. 

As a taste of what’s to expect from ‘Painstream,’ BLIND CHANNEL reveals an official music video containing the first new musical pieces, “Diana” / “No Encores In A Swan Song,”since their last album ‘Exit Emotions,’ which was released on March 1st, 2024.

Watch the Official Video for "Diana" / "No Encores In A Swan Song" Below:

On 'Painstream,' the band comments:

“In a world filled with uncertainty, conflict and division, pain is one thing all humans share. Rather than separating us, 'Painstream' explores the idea that pain can unite us, reminding us of our common humanity. We examine pain from personal, societal and existential perspectives, while also uncovering something unexpected: hope.”

Post-punk torchbearers THEN COMES SILENCE deliver "Judgement Day", announcing "Requiem Ballroom" album

Stockholm-based post-punk trio Then Comes Silence makes a brazen return with their new single 'Judgement Day', a dark and driving anthem that embraces failure, reckless choices, and the thrill of living without regrets. Along with a high-energy video by Damon Zurawski, this song celebrates those who burn brightly on borrowed time as doomsday looms. This is the first single from their 'Requiem Ballroom' album, to be released via Metropolis Records.

Formed in 2012 by vocalist-bassist Alex Svenson, Then Comes Silence has operated as a tightly focused trio since 2022, along with drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie. Together, they have refined Then Comes Silence into its most direct, powerful and uncompromising form.

'Judgement Days' opens with a catchy Euro techno melody, contrasting with the band’s roots and signature sound. A brooding yet danceable collision of post-punk intensity and unexpected Euro-techno flourishes, it paints a portrait of sinners embracing their final celebration before the inevitable reckoning.

"'Judgement Day' was the first song I wrote for this album - an homage to our musical heroes Killing Joke. Hugo came up with the guitar sound early in the process. This song celebrates the wicked ones having a good run til their end days. In some people's eyes, we too are rock 'n' rolling, beer drinking geezers that most likely will be the first to go. So be it. We had a good run," says Alex Svenson.
 
Hugo Zombie adds, "The guitar is inspired by Killing Joke and is a little tribute to Geordie. We haven't played it live, but we will perform it for the first time at M’era Luna Festival in August. It should go well."
 
'Judgement Day' is about failure, bad decisions, and poor behavior - a nod to those who will be first in line on doomsday. The techno element is juxtapositional given the subject matter. Ultimately, the band “fails” by letting something completely unexpected and out-of-character takeover. A swaggering gothic rocker that turns self-destruction and the ticking of time into an irresistible celebration of the wicked,

"We gave a performance in the photo studio when shooting the music video. It was like a regular concert with the extras dancing around the band. People seemed to enjoy being involved in the making of this video - it's easy to dance to and has a good dynamic," says Alex Svenson.
 
Jonas Fransson shares, "We invited a bunch of friends to join us for the music video shoot, and one of them happens to be a 16-year-old Miniature Pinscher. He is almost completely deaf, so he didn't mind walking around the studio while we were playing. The video isn't cut and finished yet, but there's a good chance he'll end up in it."

'Requiem Ballroom' is divided into two parts, the 'Ballroom' mixed by Jon Bordon (Nicole Sabouné, Melody Club, The Exploding Boy) and the 'Requiem' half mixed by Tom van Heesch (Rammstein, Apocalyptica, Backyard Babies). This album was then mastered by Svante Forsbäck / Chartmakers (Rammstein, Amaranthe, Ville Valo, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica). 

Then Comes Silence has become one of the leading names on today’s goth, post-punk and darkwave scene. Driven by a fascination with horror, the occult and the raw intensity of underground music, the band has forged a distinctive sound that has earned them a devoted international following.

With the German post-punk scene their second home, they have, for years, toured relentlessly. Continually expanding their geographic reach, they have cemented their reputation as one of the scene’s hardest working bands. With several releases through Metropolis Records, they have further strengthening their international presence. Their impending eighth album follows ‘Trickery’ (2024) and 'Hunger' (2022), jointly released by Metropolis and Nexilis Records / Schubert Music.

With dark atmospheres, driving rhythms, razor-sharp hooks and explosive performances, Then Comes Silence continue to push forward. They have earned their place at the forefront of the modern gothic rock and post-punk movement, proving themselves to be a vital contemporary live acts with frequent touring across North America, Latin America and Europe.

Then Comes Silence have shared the stage with acts such as The Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, The Chameleons, A Place To Bury Strangers, Pink Turns Blue and The Bellwether Syndicate, while appearing at many of Europe’s premier alternative festivals, including M’era Luna, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Amphi Festival, Castle Party, Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival and W-Festival.

As of August 7, 'Judgement Day' is available digitally everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where the latest 'Trickery' album is also available on vinyl and CD. Tickets for Then Comes Silence performances can be obtained at https://thencomessilence.eu

Liverpool's The Room unveils 'Things Have Learnt To Walk That Ought To Crawl', teasing new album

Liverpool post-punk pioneers The Room present 'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl', an adrenaline-fueled blast of melodic post-punk that celebrates one of the band's earlier compositions, now with a contemporary sheen. Reaffirming the relevance of its themes in today's increasingly uncertain world, this is the second single from their third album 'Doom Pop!', released via 9x9 Records, following the lead track 'Drill, Baby, Drill!'. 

Driven by jangling guitars, relentless momentum, and distinctive drumming, the accompanying video was produced by Marco Cecere. In re-envisioning their 1982 cult classic, the band revisits their roots, exploring themes that remain topical today, proving the enduring power of this music, 

Recorded and mixed at Ark Studios in Liverpool, this album was co-produced by Dave Jackson and Steve Powell (Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band, Autour De Lucie, Echo & The Bunnymen).

Favourites of John Peel, The Room was formed by singer Dave Jackson and bassist Becky Stringer in 1979, during the golden years of northern English post-punk. Reforming in 2022 after disbanding in 1985, they are now joined by guitarist Darren Brown, keyboardist Ethan Kyme, and original drummer Clive Thomas. They have since performed at Shiiine On festival and Preston Pop Fest, and have toured or played with The Red Guitars, Blue Orchids, Trupa Trupa, and Estonia with Shelton San.

The Room recorded four John Peel sessions, appeared on The Whistle Test and worked with Television's Tom Verlaine and John Porter (Roxy Music, TheSmiths, Billy Bragg) on their 'In Evil Hour' LP (1984), aside from releasing three other albums ('Bitter Reaction' in 1980, 'Indoor Fireworks' in 1982 and 'Clear!' in 1983. Recordings from Janice Long's BBC Radio One programme and Saturday Live were used for the 1985 release 'Jackpot Jack' EP. 

The Room toured the UK and the USA, and performed with The Fall, The Birthday Party, Bauhaus, Southern Death Cult, Violent Femmes, Tom Verlaine, John Foxx and The Red Guitars. Following the band's split, Becky and Dave went on to form Benny Profane, Dust and Dead Cowboys. Dave has also recorded under his own name and as The Room in the Wood (with Paul Cavanagh).

'Doom Pop!' is The Room's third album with 9x9 Records, preceded by 'Restless Fate' (2023) and 'The Telling'(2024). This a collection of ten hook-driven post-punk songs confronts the anxieties of modern life, balancing political urgency with imagination and nostalgia.

"We aimed at shorter, sharper, more pop-oriented songs than on our previous album 'The Telling', which was a continuous story told in eleven songs without repetition or distinct choruses. The ‘pop’ element mainly harks back to the roots of our music, updating our original spiky, post-punk independent sound with Ethan’ Kyme’s keyboard stylings. Lyrically, it is a response to the current climate of emerging fascism and paranoia that increasingly colonizes all media," says Dave Jackson.

"'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl' is a the only older song re-envisioned for this album, and one of only three 1980s songs by The Room to survive in our live set. We decided to re-record and release it as it fits neatly into our new repertoire with its exhilarating jangly forward thrust, and also highlights Clive Thomas’ unique drumming."

In examining the strange days in we are living, ‘Doom Pop!’ explores the rise of authoritarianism, disinformation, war and paranoia. But it equally draws inspiration from science fiction, horror, and cinematic liminal spaces, influenced by Béla Tarr's films, Tarkovsky's 'Stalker', and a science fiction story, called 'Trespassing', that Dave Jackson is currently developing as a screenplay.

As of August 12th, 'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl' is available digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. On September 4th, the full 'Doom Pop!' album will be released digitally, on CD and on limited edition mixed eco-vinyl. In North America, both physical formats are available via Darla Records.

Guitar Powerhouse JARED JAMES NICHOLS Releases New Video For "Dust N' Bones"

JARED JAMES NICHOLS is stoked to drop a new video for his latest single "Dust N' Bones." The track is taken from his fourth studio album, 'Louder Than Fate,' which was released earlier this summer via Frontiers Music Srl.

NICHOLS comments on "Dust N' Bones":

"Dust N' Bones is an all-out anthem for anyone who lives and breathes good old-fashioned rock & roll. I wrote this one with my good friend Jacob Bunton, and we pulled absolutely no punches. This track has no mercy—just loud guitars, big hooks, and pure rock attitude. Turn it all the way up!"

Watch the Video for "Dust N' Bones" Below:

'Louder Than Fate' was produced and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Amon Amarth, Skindred, and Steel Panther) with additional production by Roger Alan Nichols(Larkin Poe, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown and Hayley Williams of Paramore), 'Louder Than Fate' balances muscle and melody, combining thunderous riffs, searing solos, and emotionally charged vocals with a modern, punchy production. The songs move effortlessly between hard-hitting rock anthems and more reflective, dynamic moments, showcasing NICHOLS’ ability to fuse classic influences with a contemporary edge. Tracks like “Bending or Breaking” and “Killing Time” expand the sonic palette with subtle keyboards and cinematic string arrangements, adding depth without ever sacrificing power.

Since his breakout debut, JARED JAMES NICHOLS has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying guitarists and performers of his generation. Known for his unmistakable tone, fearless playing style, and commanding stage presence, he has toured extensively across the US and Europe, sharing stages with some of the biggest names in rock and earning praise from fans and critics alike.

'Louder Than Fate' is not just an album — it’s a declaration. A record that speaks to resilience, conviction, and the unstoppable force of an artist who plays every note as if it truly matters. Loud, honest, and deeply human, this is JARED JAMES NICHOLS at his absolute best.

Miranda Lambert Announces Billy Bob's Album Release Show to Celebrate 'Crisco'

In celebration of her highly anticipated new album Crisco arriving Oct. 2 via MCA, Miranda Lambert will return to her home state for a one-night-only album release show on Tuesday, Oct. 6, with tickets on sale to the general public this Friday, Aug. 14 at 10 a.m. CT via MirandaLambert.com.
 
Fittingly, the celebration will take place at Billy Bob’s Texas, where generations of fans have filled one of country music’s most iconic dance floors. It’s a natural homecoming for Crisco, an album inspired by the long-overlooked kinship between country music’s dance hall tradition and its shared heartbeat with disco clubs.
 
“When I was in the studio recording Crisco, I kept picturing the rhinestone saddle at Billy Bob’s,” shares Lambert. “It’s the perfect visual for a country disco album: honky tonk with some extra rhinestones and shine. I’ve played some of my all-time favorite shows at Billy Bob’s and it felt like the best place to bring everyone together to have fun and live out the feeling of this album.”
  
The show announcement comes on the heels of Friday’s release of “Sunset Marquis,” a dreamy, California-soaked song that joins the previously released title track plus “Till The Going’s Gone” and GRAMMY-nominated duet “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton in showcasing the vibrant layers and joyful creative spirit at the heart of Crisco. 
 
For more information, visit MirandaLambert.com and pre-order / pre-save the album HERE.

About Miranda Lambert
Critically acclaimed groundbreaker/songwriter/superstar Miranda Lambert has defined her multifaceted career as an artist, entertainer, producer, entrepreneur, advocate and businesswoman with an unflinching quest for excellence, honesty and conviction. GRAMMY-nominated single “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton arrived recently as the biggest streaming debut of her career, with Rolling Stone praising its “dreamy disco groove and lovestruck devotion.” The song appears on her forthcoming album Crisco arriving October 2 via MCA. The new project follows her 2024’s GRAMMY-nominated Postcards from Texas, which continued her unbroken streak of 10 consecutive Top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart. The most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, including their top honor for Entertainer of the Year, she has also won three GRAMMYs and 14 Country Music Association Awards. A TIME100 honoree and perennial best-of-the-year list maker at the New York Times, TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, People and more, NPR has called her “the most riveting country star of her generation.”

Lambert has taken those standards to become a label co-founder, teaming with longtime collaborator Jon Randall to launch their own imprint, Big Loud Texas, in partnership with Big Loud Records. She is also a New York Times bestselling author and the first female restaurateur on Lower Broadway with her Tex-Mex cantina Casa Rosa, while also expanding her creative reach with her Wanda June Home collection as well as Idyllwind, her western clothing, accessories and footwear brand at Boot Barn. Her passion for animals inspired the creation of MuttNation Foundation, a 501c3 nonprofit which has raised over $13 million since inception to promote shelter pet adoption, support rescue organizations nationwide, advance spay & neuter and help shelters recover from natural disaster.
