AIRBOURNE’S New Self-Titled Album Out Today: A “Big, Bombastic” Blast Of Pure Aussie Thunder

September 4, 2026

AIRBOURNE’s NEW self-titled studio album, out today, September 4th, is a true rock ‘n’ roll tale of no compromise, no sleep and still no ballads (or bullshit); a story fuelled by the riveted will of four musicians, brothers Joel & Ryan O’Keeffe, ably supported by Justin Street & Brett Tyrrell, to create a body of work that proudly offers a full 21 gun salute to hard rock’s glorious traditions, its heritage and its heartbeat, whilst keeping sights firmly trained on the road ahead.

To celebrate the album's release, the band has dropped their new video for the song 'Kid in a Candy Store.'

Watch the Video For 'Kid in a Candy Store' Below:

AIRBOURNE’s sixth studio album is the one that plants the flag deepest for everything the Aussie outfit stands for, their unwavering commitment to The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Cause, leaving everything (apart from Lemmy’s Bar, of course) on the stage on a nightly basis.

“When I look up to the sky, rub the blood and sweat from my eyes

Hell, no, I ain't dead yet, as long as I can breathe, I can get…” ‘Gutsy’

PRODUCED BY Brian Howes (who helmed 2013’s ‘Black Dog Barking’); engineered by Mike Fraser (who worked on 2010’s ‘No Guts. No Glory’ & 2016’s ‘Breakin’ Outta Hell’); mixed by Zakk Cervini (BMTH, Architects, Evanescence); and mastered by the legendary Ted Jensen, ‘Airbourne’ The Album is the statement, line in the sand recording that only one band could have made.

For staunch sons of Warrnambool, Joel & Ryan, here was the moment: to create not just the finest body of work in the Airbourne canon, but to raise the bar as high as possible in the name of the hard rock community; to seek out new turf, to protect the ground hard won by heroes past, some sadly fallen, and to both strengthen and celebrate the special, sacred bond with rock fans everywhere…

“Our aim from the start was to create something iconic, gargantuan,” states vocalist / guitarist Joel, “real blockbuster shit. It’s a rocket we’ve been building and building; we’ve filled it with fuel, now we’re ready to let it go.”

“We said, this is it, let’s make the oracle,” continues drummer Ryan, “and if we’re going to do it, no corner can be cut. All of the things we love most about rock‘n’roll are on this record. I firmly believe it’s our very best work…”

In order to embrace the mighty task, AIRBOURNE felt it wise to stay close to home, with Music Farm Studio in the “jungle” outside Byron Bay, South Eastern Australia, the chosen locale; not only does Music Farm host the original Neve console from Albert Studios in Sydney, the desk on which AC/DC, Rose Tattoo and The Angels recorded their classic early albums, but it’s also home to late AC/DC guitarist / founding member Malcolm Young’s eight-track Neve, and naturally both were put to full an’ fruitful use on the

AIRBOURNE sessions.

By choosing vintage gear (and recording to tape), these sessions were never going to be gremlin free, but as things turned out, technical issues were just a part of the story, with near cyclonic storms, deadly snakes and even deadlier super sized spiders (the fabled Big Boy!) adding to the list of perils. They say what doesn’t kill (or bite) you makes you stronger, and for musicians and studio team alike the overriding vision never blurred; nights around the fire pit were spent talking about the big, bold, bombastic albums they’d skipped their homework to listen to; those layered, beautifully crafted records, the recognised classics, that had made them rock fans in the first place…

Next stop, Hothouse Studios in Melbourne; here, all recording was completed alongside engineer / studio owner, Craig Harnath. Rounding things off at Hothouse was an easy choice to make; not only was it where the band had recorded their first EP, but the console, also a Neve, is from Alberts Studio 2, allowing the connection to prime rock history to be maintained.

The challenge was there. The game on.

‘Here She Comes’, one of the two Lange / Adams co-writes, the other being ‘Who Put The Rhythm In You?’, followed in late July, which brings us on a mighty wall of Eddie Van Halen inspired feedback to album focus track, ‘Bogotá’, complete with lashings of EVH ‘Frankenstein’ action, the first time Joel had wielded the instrument!

It’s surely impossible to be a guitarist and not realise the significance of EVH, who (along with Lemmy, Doc Neeson, John Bonham, Bon Scott, Little Richard, Malcolm Young & Ozzy) gets a hand on heart namecheck on album closer, ‘Send Me To Rock‘N’Roll Heaven’, the song that most clearly defines the album’s key themes of lifestyle and legacy; of artists being kept alive in the hearts and minds of fans; of the rock ‘n’ roll torch being passed from one generation to the next, the flame still burning…

‘When you play this riff, you give me back my hands

When you drop the needle, I'm back in the band…’ ‘Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)’

‘AIRBOURNE’. Made with passion. Made in Australia. The Great Barrier Riff.

Now officially out of its cage.

Wage War Announce New Album "LANDFALL" Out 10/9 + Band Shares Title Track

September 4, 2026

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] — continue to absolutely dominate 2026. After releasing the It Calls Me By Name EP this past spring, the band is now pleased to announce the new album Landfall, out digitally October 9 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

The band has shared the visualizer for the vicious title track. Watch and listen below.

Opening with a foreboding emergency broadcast-style alarm before erupting in a bludgeoning riff, Wage War continue to indulge their heaviest side with "Landfall." It's a groove-heavy, guitar-forward anthem that sounds like... vengeance. The hellbound screams of Bond are punctuated by Quistad's melodic singing, making it a gloriously unpredictable listen. Wage War are at their heaviest and most melodic — EVER — with this track, as they continue to push their own boundaries. It's Wage War, but bigger, stronger, louder, and as impactful as ever.

"'Landfall' is a song about imminent danger and the realization that we aren't in control," Wage War offer. "Referencing our Florida roots, the hurricane imagery became a way of talking about that feeling of being completely at the mercy of something bigger than yourself. Musically, we wanted the verses to feel heavy and threatening, with the chorus being somber and inevitable."

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.

Liverpool stalwarts The Room explore the dark side of Modern Life on new ‘Doom Pop!’ album

September 3, 2026

Liverpool post-punk pioneers The Room present their third album 'Doom Pop!', released via 9x9 Records, as well as the video for the album focus track ‘The Room’. Inspired by the strange days in we are living through, ‘Doom Pop!’ explores the rise of authoritarianism, disinformation, war and paranoia. But it equally draws inspiration from science fiction, horror, and cinematic liminal spaces.

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).

"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.

"While the songs ‘Drones’, ‘Drill, Baby, Drill’, ‘Continent of Lies’ and ‘Doom Patrol’concern the paranoia and destruction emanating from worldwide warmongers and oligarchs, other songs are influenced by a love of science fiction, horror and liminal spaces. ‘The Room’ is about the film 'Stalker' and a man who guides ‘tourists’ through a Zone corrupted by alien technology. ‘Temptation Harbour’ references three films by the late director Bela Tarr.

Earlier, the band shared the lead track 'Drill, Baby, Drill!' and 'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl', an adrenaline-fueled blast of melodic post-punk driven by jangling guitars, relentless momentum, and distinctive drumming. In re-envisioning their 1982 cult classic, The Room revisits their roots, exploring themes that remain topical today, proving the enduring power of this music,

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

"'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," says Dave Jackson.

‘No One Comes Here From The Town’ is a response to Shirley Jackson’s 'The Haunting Of Hill House', and ‘Trespassing’ attempts to sum up Dave Jackson’s unproduced science fiction screenplay 'Trespassing' in a 3-minute pop song, tangentially influenced by Dave Bowie’s ‘Drive In Saturday’.

In a lighter, nostalgic vein, ‘Magic Games’ tells the story of a child in his grandmother’s parlour in the early 1960s, while ‘Stories’ is about an inspirational oral storyteller who once said, “Stories told thrice become our possessions”.

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).

As of September 4th, the 'Doom Pop!' album is out on CD and limited edition mixed eco-vinyl with both physical formats available in North America via Darla Records. It is also available digitally, including on Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

LUTHER Share "Five of Cups" Video

September 3, 2026

September holds plenty in store for LUTHER: Coinciding with their live appearances at Reeperbahn Festival (for the "Spotlight on: Heavy Reeperbahn"/MoreCore.de showcase), Envol et Macadam Festival in Québec, Canada (alongside Hatebreed and Despised Icon), and Local Core Festival in Hamburg, the Berlin group presents the brand new single "Five of Cups."

Watch the video below:

"The lyrics tell the true story of a trip to Naples, where a vacation turns into an unexpected journey through mystical and folkloric experiences, including a prophetic tarot reading and a series of appearances of occult signs. These forced encounters trigger a harsh but inescapable revelation: Sometimes in life, no one is ever completely on your side, and many of those around you may only be there to pick at the remains," explains singer Leo Luther.

The track showcases a new facet of LUTHER's sound. Whereas the last single drew heavily from nu-metal and deathcore influences, "Five of Cups" explores progressive post-hardcore and melodic alternative metal — with a hint of emo. This sonic spectrum appeals to fans of bands such as Loathe, Knocked Loose, Poppy, Korn, Kim Dracula, and The Mars Volta.

Production, mix, and mastering were handled by Enrico Tiberi, current lead vocalist of The Ocean Collective.

LUTHER LIVE:
9/5 — Hamburg, DE — Local Core Festival
9/10–9/12 — Quebec City, QC — Envol et Macadam Festival (headlined by Bad Religion and Hatebreed)
9/18 — Hamburg, DE — Reeperbahn Festival
10/26— Berlin, DE — Female Fronted Is Not a Genre Festival

Siamese Drop New Single "nevermore"

September 3, 2026

Modern metal outfit SIAMESE just dropped their brand new single "nevermore," answering the calls of their fanbase. Initially featured as an exclusive track on the physical edition of their new studio album dissolution, released June 26 via Long Branch Records, "nevermore" is now available across all streaming platforms. Listen below.

Vocalist Mirza Radonjica offers insight into the highly relatable story behind the song, saying, "'nevermore' is about realizing that what looked like passion was actually conflict addiction. Some people don't fall in love with you, they fall in love with the chaos you bring into their story. The dramas and the war. The mythology they get to build around themselves by breaking someone else."

'nevermore' pushes the signature SIAMESE sound to the next level, blending heavy metalcore intensity with a catchy alt-metal chorus and wild EDM elements. Following a recent U.S. headline tour and mainstage appearances at festivals like Vainstream and Impericon, the Danish band will be hitting the road across the EU and UK this winter alongside DAYSEEKER and NORTHLANE.

Following Home (2021) and Elements (2024), over 100 million streams, and global tours with some of the biggest acts in the world —including KORN, COREY TAYLOR, and DAYSEEKE R— dissolution is the album SIAMESE never planned to make, but ultimately had to. It marks the band's most personal release to date. Written during a period defined by the departure of one of their primary songwriters, the record forced the band into a fundamental reset of their processes and intentions. With dissolution, SIAMESE evolved from a songwriting camp into a true, cohesive unit. The result is a sound heavier than anything SIAMESE have ever released: <ore instinctual, aggressive, and introverted. At the core of dissolution lies a deeply complicated father-son relationship.

The album represents the most comprehensive body of work SIAMESE has crafted so far. Throughout the creative process, the band collaborated with a tight circle of trusted contributors — including Zachary Baker, Mads Zelasny, Zach Jones, KJ Strock, and Paul Spirou. Each brought fresh perspectives to the table without compromising the core identity of the record.

Siamese will tour the EU and UK later this year, in support of DAYSEEKER + NORTHLANE.

Heavy Rock Force AUDREY HORNE Reveal Title Track "Achilles"

September 2, 2026

Norwegian hard rock force AUDREY HORNE unleashes a hard-hitting new single with "Achilles," the title track of the band's upcoming 8th studio album, out this Friday, September 4, 2026 via Napalm Records! Roaring guitars meet impactful rhythms, all topped with powerfully captivating vocals. The band showcases the more progressive side of its sound on this ambitious single, arriving with a lyric video, and the strong sonic contrasts support the lyrics. Following the release of Achilles, AUDREY HORNE are set to head out on a European headline tour next month.

AUDREY HORNE on "Achilles":
"'Achilles' is a song about the 'us vs. them' situation in today's increasingly polarized world. It is also the title track from our new album and shows a bit more progressive side of the band. When we started recording the album, this song stood out immediately as a perfect opening track, and it has an energetic drive that will fit us perfectly on stage as well. We hope you guys like it as much as we do. Peace and love, AUDREY HORNE."

Watch the Lyric Video for "Achilles" Below:

Pre-Order Your Copy of Achilles NOW.

AUDREY HORNE's latest studio albums Blackout (2018) and Devil’s Bell (2022) received critical praise internationally, and the band was even awarded a Spellemannprisen (Norwegian equivalent to a Grammy) for their 2005 debut album. With previous international tours both as headliners and together with bands such as Papa Roach and Backyard Babies, as well as support slots for AC/DC and Mötley Crüe, AUDREY HORNE are one of Norway's most interesting rock exports.

The new album features 11 multi-faceted tracks, ranging from high-energy, heavy rock pieces to more melodic and progressive songs, leaving no questions about the songwriting capabilities of this five-piece, which consists of vocalist Toschie, guitarists Ice Dale (Enslaved) and Thomas Tofthagen, bassist Espen Lien and drummer Kjetil Greve.

Following the hard-hitting title track "Achilles," more hit material is delivered through songs like "God Damn Beautiful"; this groovy Thin Lizzy-inspired track brings bass player Espen Lien to center stage on lead vocals. The band stays true to its sound on the high-energy rock 'n' roll number "Insanity" that features a catchy chorus and twin guitars — and a gripping storyline inspired by the classic Iron Maiden tune "Hallowed Be Thy Name!" Closing track "New Star Falling" wraps the album up beautifully, showcasing the melodic side of AUDREY HORNE's sound.

With Achilles, AUDREY HORNE return with an atmospheric heavy rock album that combines classic '70s and '80s influences with lyrical themes spanning escapism to commentary on the instability of the world we live in. A perfect fit for both rock radio and live stages!

Kingdom Collapse Drop "Victorious" Video Feat. Wrestler Thunder Rosa

September 2, 2026

San Antonio, Texas-based rockers KINGDOM COLLAPSE have unleashed the beast! The band has shared the video for new single "Victorious," featuring champion AEW professional wrestler and former MMA star Thunder Rosa.

Watch it below.

The song is a high octane rager that comes out of the gates hard. The band deftly strikes a balance between aggression and melody, fearlessly toeing the line and kicking some ass. The video features Thunder Rosa doing what she does best — kick some ass.

"'Victorious' is a signature Kingdom Collapse anthem that we did for our diehards," states singer Jonathan Norris. "Big riff, sing-along chorus, and a resilient attitude."

As for the accompanying video, bassist Aaron Smith says, "Since this one has such a motivational vibe, we invited our friend and AEW wrestler Thunder Rosa to be featured in the video. She's a badass so we knew she'd do a great job."

The song lives on their debut album Survivor, which will be released on October 30 via Mascot Records.

Pre-save it HERE.

Kingdom Collapse have hit the road hard in the U.S. and have spent the last month touring with Nashville rockers RED, and they will pause for breath before storming the festival stages and touring with Royale Lynn in July and then spending August on the road with Of Virtue and Savage Hands. Catching them live will make you understand how that kinetic energy has seen them share stages with the likes of Three Days Grace, Nothing More, 10 Years, From Ashes To New, Fire From The Gods, Saliva, Hinder, ATTACK ATTACK!, and Adelita's Way.

Kingdom Collapse originated from the childhood friendship between Norris and Smith, who grew up together, discovered music around the same time, and recognized its power after Jonathan lost his father at eight years old.

In order to cope, he immediately retreated into music and the embrace of a small community, which included Aaron's family. This was the turning point where both boys realized the power of friendship, the power of music, and their potential together. "I saw my father die right in front of my eyes," Jonathan sighs. "I didn't even know what was happening. In some ways, that darkness has never left. Music became my light. I connected with it, and it gave me hope for the future. Kingdom Collapse is a band that carries that torch."

The band's current single is Top 30 at Active Rock and building.

Aussie Deathcore Titans TO THE GRAVE Unleash New Single "LIFE AMONG THE SEPTICS" + Video

September 2, 2026

Today, TO THE GRAVE, the world's preeminent vegan deathcore band, proudly unleash their new track, "LIFE AMONG THE SEPTICS," the fourth single taken from their upcoming BLKIIBLK debut album, 'LIBERATION FRONT,' set for release on October 2nd. The new single arrives alongside an official music video, available to view below.

On the new single, bassist Matt Clarke shares:

"This song was us leaning hard back into the same influences as our 'Director’s Cuts' album. It’s got all those elements in it: bouncy riffs, some fast stuff and just lots of dynamics. We’re looking forward to playing this one on the upcoming tours…that start today. Australia now, North America in two weeks!"

He continues, "For the video, we wanted to do something a bit different to the other performance videos. We got a bunch of our mates to come down and hang with us. We did something that’s somewhere between serious and fun."

Since forming in 2010, TO THE GRAVE have become one of Australia's most uncompromising heavy exports, earning acclaim for crushing releases including 'Global Warning,' 'Epilogue,' 'Director's Cuts,' and 2024's 'Everyone's a Murderer.' Armed with a singular mission to confront animal cruelty and environmental destruction through some of modern metal's most punishing deathcore, the Sydney outfit have forged a reputation for pairing unrelenting heaviness with fearless activism. Their live assault has taken them around the globe alongside Lorna Shore, Thy Art Is Murder, Shadow of Intent, Carnifex, Oceano, and more, with Revolver hailing them as "one of the country's heaviest exports" and Distorted Sound calling them "one of the most intense, enthralling bands the genre can offer."

Now, the band returns with 'LIBERATION FRONT,' their fifth album and BLKIIBLK debut, a statement of pure intent. Brutal and uncompromising in both sound and message, TO THE GRAVE transform their death metal-infused assault into a vehicle for activism, raging against animal cruelty and environmental destruction while delivering their most direct and fully realized work to date. From the breakdown-laden opener "MEAT THE HUMANS," 'Liberation Front'marks a ferocious return to the band's deathcore roots. While recent releases leaned further into hardcore, the new album embraces deathcore at its most savage and relentless.

Evans comments about the album:

"'LIBERATION FRONT' was born as a concept on tour last year in Australia after we decided we wanted to make the sequel to 'Director’s Cuts.' What came out was something between that and a more pissed off brother to 'Everyone’s A Murderer.' It’s got so many things I love about the band and a bit of everything pushed to 100 with a really bleak kind of aggression that’s just reaching for your throat the entire time. Very keen to play some of these songs live and it’s an exciting chapter to add.”

Pre-Order 'LIBERATION FRONT' HERE

TO THE GRAVE will be kicking off "The Sawed Off Suffering Tour" with co-headliner Crown Magnetar on September 17th in Chicago. The entire run will be supported by Face Yourselfand on select dates by the likes of I Declare War, Tracheotomy, Backbiter, Squelching and Ameonna (the new band featuring former Chelsea Grin members Alex Koehler, Jake Harmond and Pablo Viveros, making their live debut). For a full list of dates, please see below.

Bassist Matt Clarke exclaims:

“These are the heaviest lineups we’ve ever put together, and we can’t wait for these shows across North America and at home in Aus. For North America, all these bands have a different approach, but the one thing that brings it all together is intensity! We’re stoked to be teaming up with Crown Magnetar for this run, and having Face Yourself on the package just makes it more crushing. We’re very excited that we get to play with OG Chelsea Grin members back on-stage for the first time in Ameonna, and I Declare War hopping on for some shows is awesome! Backbiter, Tracheotomy, and Squelching will all bring their own brands of brutality to the tour. No matter what show you’re hitting, you’re in for a treat.”

As Evans puts it, “this is our way of establishing order. The band is built around our way of doing things and to me this title is just waving that flag. These songs are about direct action, open rescue, abolition and liberation by any means necessary.”

unpeople Unveil Video for Anthemic Single "blueprints"

September 2, 2026

After a weekend of tearing up Reading & Leeds Festivals, unpeople today announce their stunning, anthemic new single "blueprints," taken from their forthcoming debut album we are unpeople, out October 9 on SharpTone Records.

A lighter touch that takes no prisoners when it comes to anthemic ambition, "blueprints" reveals another side of unpeople. Built around skyscraping four-part harmonies and soaring melodies, the track makes a compelling case for a band ready for the world's biggest stages.

Listen here and watch the official video below.

"The subject matter of this song is not an easy one to get into, personally," singer and guitarist Jake Crawford explains. "It's broadly about propping up people who have behaviours that are clearly not good for them or the people around them. People who only want what is best for them. Take from that what you will. Luke wrote the lion's share of the song and presented it to us with the chorus lyrics and melody already in place. I loved it so much we kept it almost exactly as it was and I just elaborated on the overall feeling of the tune with the verses."

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

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

With Kerrang! hailing them as "one of alternative music's best new bands," live, they've opened for Metallica in Vienna, shared bills with Smashing Pumpkins and Coheed & Cambria and drawn huge crowds at 2000trees.

With support tours incoming with both Royal Blood and Don Broco, the band are ready to take things to the next level. Across January 2027, unpeople will take on their biggest headline tour to date across the UK — with most dates selling out almost instantly. The tour will end on January 28, with a truly special night at London's Electric Ballroom, matching the ambition of a band on the cusp of truly breaking through. Tickets here.

Emily Wolfe Releases New Single + Video "Power" via Judge & Jury

September 1, 2026

Austin Powerhouse Guitarist and Songwriter gets Unapologetically Honest About Desire on the Second Single from her Forthcoming Judge & Jury Records Album

Coming off her tour with Yungblud, Emily Wolfe returns with “Power,” a new single that continues her pursuit of rawness, honesty, and authenticity. The track marks Wolfe’s second single from her forthcoming new album due out this year through Judge & Jury Records.

"What do we all really want? If you strip everything away, what is it? Power. Sex. Honey. Flesh. Primal. The most fundamental human desires. I think everybody wants those things, they just don’t always say it out loud. That song is me saying it out loud.” shares Wolfe.

It is a refreshingly unapologetic answer and an especially bold one coming from a woman in rock who has never been interested in playing it safe.

While desire is often softened, hidden, or wrapped in euphemism, Wolfe confronts it head-on. “Power” is about stripping away the expectations, shame, and self-censorship that can keep people from saying what they truly want. The result is a song that embraces desire as something primal, human, sensual, and powerful.

For Wolfe, the four words are more than a provocative hook. They represent the raw, fundamental urges that exist beneath everything else. The need to want. The need to feel. The need to possess power and to claim ownership over your own desires.

“Power” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

STELLAR CIRCUITS UNVEIL EXPANDED PHANTOM :: PHOENIX (DIRECTOR’S CUT)

September 1, 2026

North Carolina progressive alt-metal innovators STELLAR CIRCUITS have released Phantom :: Phoenix (Director’s Cut), the definitive edition of their acclaimed third studio album, available now digitally via Nuclear Blast Records. The release pairs the original record with four additional tracks unveiled over the past several months: ‘Spotlight,’ ‘Wounded Healer,’ ‘Stargazer’ and ‘In The Smoke.’

Cinematic, visceral and emotionally charged, Phantom :: Phoenix (Director’s Cut) further explores the album’s themes of transformation and rebirth, moving between light and darkness, destruction and renewal. The new material builds upon the progressive intricacy, crushing heaviness and atmospheric depth that have become hallmarks of STELLAR CIRCUITS’ evolving sound.

About AMORPHIS
With Borderland, the title of the album couldn’t have been chosen more fittingly. Throughout their career, spanning over more than three decades, AMORPHIS -- Tomi Joutsen (vocals), Esa Holopainen (guitars), Tomi Koivusaari (guitars), Olli-Pekka Laine (bass), Santeri Kallio (keyboards) & Jan Rechberger (drums & percussion) -- have been an ever-evolving act, wandering on an exciting boundary-pushing path. From their sinister death metal debut Karelian Isthmus over genre-defining mid-90s melodic death works like Tales From The Thousand Lakes and Elegy as well as the melodic 2000’s grandeur of Eclipse or Skyforger to records combining the very best of all prior eras to refreshing new soundscapes (f.e. Under The Red Cloud or Queen Of Time): Whatever this group works on promises long-range success.

With 2022’s Halo, the Finn’s were rewarded for their researching musical approach once again: The album marked AMORPHIS’ sixth no. 1 album in Finland, even cracked the top 3 of the official German album chart, and last but not least the sextet took home two awards from the prestigious Emma Gaala (“Band of the Year” & “Export of the Year”).

The impact of Halo became a driving force for what’s to come. Rather than rushing into a follow-up, the band chose to step back from live performances and focus fully on their next chapter. The result is Borderland - a meticulously crafted opus that builds on their celebrated recent era, while seamlessly weaving in new, timely elements. It’s a bold, organic continuation of their journey, shaped by experience and guided by vision.

Esa Holopainen | guitars

Tomi Koivusaari | guitars

Olli-Pekka “Oppu” Laine | bass

Santeri Kallio | keys

STARSET RETURN WITH VIDEO FOR RECENTLY RELEASED NEW SINGLE "p a r a d 0 x 1 c"

September 1, 2026

TOURING WITH BREAKING BENJAMIN, CHEVELLE, + KAMI KEHOE THIS FALL

STARSET, who've existed at the intersection of music and sci fi for most of their billon-streaming career, kick off their newest era with the new single "p a r a d 0 x 1 c."

This is STARSET at their most seductive — dark, synth-driven alt rock with a hypnotic pulse.

Known for their interstellar, world-building atmospheres, Starset bridge the gap between cinematic EDM and guitar-forward, textured rock. Here, genres collide, with massive, emotionally-charged, sci-fi-bred hooks and an explosion of riffs. Ultimately, it's a neon-soaked, synth-infused track that feels like a transmission from the future. "p a r a d 0 x 1 c" stands as a world of its own — layered and encapsulating, and a harbinger of what's to come.

Watch the accompanying video Below:

Since emerging in 2013, Columbus, Ohio's STARSET have become one of modern rock's most distinctive and commercially successful acts, amassing nearly 5 billion global streams, including more than 1.7 billion on Spotify alone, earning RIAA Platinum and Gold certifications, scoring multiple Billboard Mainstream Rock Top 10 hits, and building a devoted global fanbase through cinematic storytelling and immersive live productions that blur the line between concert and science-fiction experience.

Lauded by Forbes as having "one of the most firmly established brands of any modern rock band," STARSET are creating a true multimedia empire with music at its core. STARSET are one of the most successful and visually and conceptually ambitious acts in rock music. The band's impact is best captured in its massive numbers: STARSET have accumulated billions of streams worldwide. Their breakout hit "My Demons" has become a rock staple, earning multi-platinum certifications and dominating alternative and active rock charts. Meanwhile, their cinematic, sci-fi–driven live shows sell out venues across North America, Europe, and beyond — due to the passionate vigor with which their fanbase follows the band.

Continuing to push creative boundaries both on and off the stage, STARSET will bring their transportive live production to cities across North America throughout September and October.

THEN COMES SILENCE turn "Judgement Day" into celebration with Behind-the-Scenes film + tour dates

September 1, 2026

Stockholm-based post-punk trio Then Comes Silence recently released 'Judgement Day', a dark and driving anthem that embraces failure, reckless choices and the thrill of living without regrets. The high-energy video was filmed by Damon Zurawski of Future Legend Films. Painting the picture of those celebrating sinners embracing their final celebration before the inevitable reckoning, this is the first single from the band's 'Requiem Ballroom' album, out later this year via Metropolis Records.

The band has also shared a vivid behind-the-scenes documentary, created by Marzipan Moonlight, on the making of the video. This offers a fun-loving personal glimpse of the process involved in the video's creation and the thriving and warm spirit of Stockholm's goth community over an array of cinematic sequences. The footage immortalizes Then Comes Silence's professionalism, the genuine camaraderie of those involved, and the delightful involvement of a tiny canine companion named Hugo.

A tightly focused trio since 2022, Then Comes Silence was formed in 2012 by vocalist-bassist Alex Svenson in 2012. Drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie, round out the band in its most direct, powerful and uncompromising form. One of the leading names on today’s goth, post-punk and darkwave scene, they are driven by a fascination with horror, the occult and the raw intensity of underground music, having forged a distinctive sound and a devoted international following.

"'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."

'Judgement Day' is out everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where their latest 'Trickery' album is available on vinyl and CD. The 'Requiem Ballroom" album will be released on November 20. Now touring Europe, tickets can be obtained at https://linktr.ee/tcsontour

The Ghoulstars may be undead, but there’s nothing pale or lifeless about The Dark Overlords of the Universe. The title track crosses surf beats, heavy riffing and a hair-raising transition into a chorus that’s absolutely to die for. “We can’t wait to unleash this delightful horror upon the world”, Laakso says with an ominous glint in his bloodshot eye. “As V. Santura told me: ‘The record is unique, catchy and a really fun listen’”.

With The Dark Overlords of the Universe, The Ghoulstars direct a monstrously catchy mash-up between metal, punk and B-horror.

DOKKEN, SLAUGHTER, AND WARRANT, ALL LIVE, ALL THE HITS, ALL ON REMASTERED 180G COLORED VINYL WITH LIMITED AUTOGRAPHED BUNDLES

August 31, 2026

Three legendary bands. Three unforgettable live albums. One epic collection.

Deko Entertainment proudly presents The Trifecta of '80s Hard Rock Live, featuring classic live performances from Dokken, Slaughter, and Warrant, all newly remastered and available on stunning 180g colored vinyl.

Formed in Los Angeles in 1978, Dokken became one of hard rock's defining acts with Billboard Hot 100 hits including "Alone Again," "In My Dreams," and "Burning Like a Flame." The band has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide and remains one of the most influential names in melodic hard rock.

Slaughter, formed in Las Vegas in 1988, exploded onto the scene with their platinum debut Stick It To Ya. The album produced three Billboard Hot 100 singles, including "Fly To The Angels" (#19), "Up All Night" (#27), and "Spend My Life" (#39), helping establish the band as one of the era's premier hard rock acts.

Formed in Hollywood, California, in 1984, Warrant achieved worldwide success with more than 10 million albums sold. Their double-platinum debut Dirty Rotten Filthy Stinking Rich featured the smash hit "Heaven," which climbed to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while subsequent releases cemented the band's place in rock history.

First up is Dokken’s Live From The Sun, available as a double LP housed in a deluxe gatefold jacket on blue vinyl, with limited bundles (100 copies only) signed by Reb Beach. Recorded on November 4, 1999, at the Sun Theatre in Anaheim, California during the Erase The Slate tour, the album captures the band delivering classics including "Alone Again," "In My Dreams," and more. As guitarist Reb Beach recalls: "That was a great time in my life and I had so much fun on that tour. I was a big Dokken fan and I was so thrilled to play those classic songs every night. Luckily, I had a good show. There is a super long solo in the song 'Too High To Fly' that was totally improvised every night, and I just lucked out that it was a good one, haha! That album rocks, for sure!"

Next is Slaughter's Eternal Live, featuring performances recorded during late-1997 shows in Mexico City and Las Vegas. Available for the first time ever on vinyl, this LP comes packaged in a beautiful gatefold jacket on orange vinyl, with limited bundles (100 copies only) signed by Mark Slaughter and Dana Strum. One of the most significant aspects of Eternal Live is that it serves as a tribute to original guitarist Tim Kelly, who tragically lost his life in an automobile accident in 1998. These recordings capture some of Kelly's final performances with the band and feature fan favorites including "Fly To The Angels" and "Up All Night."

Rounding out the collection is Warrant's Live 86-97, making its vinyl debut as a double LP, with limited bundles (100 copies only) signed by Erik Turner and Jerry Dixon. Recorded at Harpos Concert Theatre in Detroit, Michigan, on November 22, 1996, during the tour supporting Belly To Belly, the album delivers electrifying performances of hits including "Heaven," "Cherry Pie," "Down Boys," and more. Original guitarist Erik Turner comments: "Warrant Live 86-97 captures the energy, attitude and good times that we are known for. These recordings are a snapshot of Warrant doing what we've always loved most, playing live. Crank it up!"

All three titles have been newly remastered for vinyl and pressed on audiophile-quality 180g colored vinyl, giving fans the opportunity to experience these classic live performances with enhanced sound and collectible packaging.

Dokken – Live From The Sun, Slaughter – Eternal Live, and Warrant – Live 86-97 are available now for pre-order from Deko Entertainment: https://www.dekoentertainment.com/specials

THE SYSTEM IS ONLINE: FEAR FACTORY UNLEASHES MACHINE-DRIVEN NEW SINGLE "ROBOTICIST"

August 30, 2026

For more than three decades, industrial metal pioneers FEAR FACTORY have explored the friction between man and machine, tracing the rise of artificial intelligence and humanity's loss of control over its own creations.

The band launches a bold new era with 'Roboticist.' The latest single, which premiered on Sirius XM Liquid Metal, marks the recording debut of the band's current lineup featuring vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber, and bassist Tony Campos. Blending crushing mechanical aggression with a haunting, melodic hook, the track explores a dystopian reality where flesh fails and only consciousness endures.

Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Damien Rainaud, the single arrives alongside a cinematic music video directed by Vincente Cordero and produced by Arion Csihar. System activated: the next chapter of FEAR FACTORY has officially begun.

FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares comments, "The future isn’t coming. It’s already here, ‘Roboticist’ is the next evolution of Fear Factory. Man, Machine and the war for what comes next. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the beginning of a new era of Fear Factory."

Stream 'Roboticist' here: https://fearfactory.bfan.link/roboticist

Death is no longer the end, it is the next evolution. The machine no longer needs humanity; it inherits the future.

Stand by, critical intel on the upcoming album is imminent. In the meantime, prepare for the live assault. Experience FEAR FACTORY as they tear across Europe and the US on the Cybernetic Domination Tour.

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

August 30, 2026

Maryland-based metalcore band Omen//Skye have released their new single and lyric video, “Vanquish,” available via Arson Theory. The track is the latest single from the band’s most recent EP, The Thoughts That Haunt Us, and is available on all major streaming platforms.

Produced by Drew Licurgo and Six:Eight Audio, “Vanquish” is an emotionally charged track centered on one of life’s darkest battles: finding the strength to keep going when everything feels lost.

The composition for “Vanquish” was largely written by former guitarist Brian Baugus, with chorus lyrics composed by Josh Grzywacz. Vocalist Nick Troisi developed the verse lyrics and overall concept, drawing directly from his own battle with addiction.

At its core, “Vanquish” is about reaching the lowest point imaginable and making the conscious decision to persevere. The song explores the struggle against addiction, depression, and suicidal thoughts while ultimately delivering a message of resilience and choosing life.

Troisi shares, “I was down and out, I thought that this was the end. But I picked myself up and started fighting again. It's a conscious choice between life and death, and when it comes for you... DON'T. GIVE. IN.”

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

With its crushing instrumentation and deeply personal message, “Vanquish” captures the moment when surrender and survival stand on opposite sides of a decision. Rather than romanticizing the darkness, Omen//Skye confront it head-on, transforming personal struggle into an anthem for anyone fighting to find their way back.

“Vanquish” is available now on all major streaming platforms via Arson Theory.

Their growing catalog of releases and relentless drive have earned them support slots alongside artists including If Not For Me, Tallah, Resistor, Yosemite In Black, Waking the Cadaver, The Wise Man's Fear, and Softspoken, positioning the band for continued expansion onto the national touring circuit.
