Canadian Modern Metal Band OSYRON Release "Higher" With Video, Announce Pre-Sale

Canadian modern metal band OSYRON present an electrifying offering in their new single release, "Higher." Alongside the atmospheric track, the Canadians have launched their pre-sale for the forthcoming, self-titled, full length album. Osyron is scheduled for release on November 27, 2026, via Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music.

Of the DMG signing, the band also comments: 

"We're absolutely thrilled to be joining the Distortion Music Group family for this next chapter of Osyron. After more than a decade of building this band, releasing four somewhat okay albums, playing shows across North America and Europe, developing our sound, and even having a Polish guy in the band, finding the right label for this record was extremely important to us."

"DMG's passion for heavy music, their international reach, and the connections they have throughout the metal community make them the perfect partner for what we want to accomplish with this album."

"This album represents a huge step forward for us, and we couldn’t be more excited to have the babes at Distortion Music Group right there beside us as we enter this new era."

Maurizio Iacono, General Manager of DMG, commented, "We are proud to introduce Osyron to the DMG family. The band is one of Canada’s best-kept secrets that will finally get the chance to shine on a world stage; We are happy to have them on board as they continue their journey through the progressive power metal world!”

Emerging out of an immersive atmospheric haze, "Higher" erupts into life with a ferocious brutality manifested through thunderous guitar rhythms and discordant harmonies. The track's chorus soars with melodic intensity, while the heavy power remains relentlessly impactful. Through compelling vocal melodies to monstrous harsh, OSYRON demonstrate their prowess for balancing a sonic attack and ethereal soundscapes.

In summer 2024, the band returned to Europe for a six-date run, bookended by major festival appearances where they shared the stage with JUDAS PRIEST, BRUCE DICKINSON, AVANTASIA, and ACCEPT at Masters of Rock in Czechia.

OSYRON are now preparing to enter their next chapter with their upcoming self-titled fifth album.

Built around the themes of overcoming adversity, defining one’s purpose and finding one’s TELOS, the record focuses on emerging victorious through struggle and perseverance. It represents everything the band has fought for, everything they have learned, and everything they are becoming.

HOKKA - Release Anthemic New Single "Vampire" Feat. Samy Elbanna & Jussi 69

Finnish rock outfit HOKKA has joined forces with some of the scene's most prominent faces for their latest anthem, ‘Vampire.’ Marking a powerful meeting of two generations of Finnish rock talent, the track features Samy Elbanna (Lost Society) delivering insane guitar solos and riffs that completely carry the song and vocals, alongside thunderous rhythms from legendary The 69 Eyes drummer, Jussi 69.

‘Vampire’ delivers an adrenaline-fueled, modern, and punishingly catchy sound. The high-octane single is accompanied by a spectacular music video that visually captures the track's explosive energy.

Joel Hokka comments:
”What a privilege to share this track with my dearest friends & brothers. Samy, Jussi, Jimi & Pauli know how much this kind of stuff means to me after everything that I’ve gone through lately. Vampire is 100% pure rock’n’roll joyride. I hope this will be the official Halloween 2026 soundtrack for many of you.”

Jussi 69 adds:
”I love doing collabs with friends.I really like Hokka’s stuff and this time when I heard the title of the track I said i’m in! With Samy Elbanna I have a long history playing with him in the Local Band, project started by me and my brother, late great Alexi Laiho. It’s been wild to watch Samy’s incredible talent and growth to one of the best shredders right now and he definitely gave his trademark to the song which is unreal!
Hope you dig the track as much i do!”

Samy Elbanna says:
”When there was talk about jumping on a track with Finland’s finest who just so happened to also be my great friends and brothers, I was already in - and once I heard the track I knew this would be insanely fun to do. A big riff, a massive chorus and a chance to shred louder than ever; what’s not to love. The OG Helsinki vampire and the new generation are coming for you!”

Dosser "Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake" Out 12/11 + Band Shares Video for Title Track

Baltimore's Dosser return with Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake, their second full-length and first for Iodine Recordings. Pre-order the album, out December 11, here.

They have shared the video for the title track. Watch it Below:

Building on the dense, melodic alternative rock of 2023's Violent Picture/Violent Sound, the band pushes further into the tension between heaviness and restraint, drawing from the weight and atmosphere of Failure, HUM, Shiner, Heatmiser, and Jawbox while continuing to carve out a sound distinctly their own.

Formed through Baltimore's DIY scene, Dosser have spent the years since their debut refining a sound built around layered guitars, driving rhythms, and melodies that emerge from beneath the noise. Across eight songs, Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake circles feelings of isolation, exhaustion, disconnection, and the search for something solid in a world that increasingly treats people as disposable.

The album's title came from an unlikely exchange with a suspected bot account that suddenly broke character and called the band "good for nothing, born for nothing, born by mistake." What began as a bizarre interaction quickly became an unexpectedly fitting metaphor for the record. "We felt like that was a good metaphor," the band explains. "How we're all born into a system that doesn't respect us. Then one day, it deems us obsolete and disposes of us."

Recorded, produced, and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, Koyo) and mastered by Mike Kalajian, Born for Nothing/Born by Mistake captures Dosser at their most focused, balancing melodic immediacy with the urgency and tension that have defined the band from the beginning.

DOSSER LIVE:
9/21 — Washington, DC — Union Stage (W/ Saves The Day)
9/25 — Cleveland, OH — The Birdhouse (W/ I Hate It Too + OK Buddy)

A COLD PARADISE Celebrate Release of Much-Awaited Debut Album with New Music Video for "Once Upon A Dream" feat. Musical Star Benét Monteiro!

The wait is over: Modern metal outfit A COLD PARADISE release their highly anticipated self-titled debut album, A Cold Paradise, via PERCEPTION – Powered By Reigning Phoenix Music. Across twelve tracks, the band surrounding vocalist Antonio Calanna present a multifaceted sound where powerful modern metal meets soaring melodies, cinematic atmospheres and electronic elements. Rather than relying on heaviness alone, the quintet put emotion and contrast at the heart of their music, creating songs that deliberately refuse to be confined to a single stylistic formula.

That versatility has also resonated with the press. Metal.de describes the debut as “A well-thought-out, versatile album. A successful debut!”, while No Rush Webzine sums up the band's sound as “Atmospheric modern metal with plenty of emotion – a successful fresh start for Antonio Calanna.” Obliveon Magazine is equally convinced, concluding: “A successful debut that makes you eager to find out where the journey will go next.”

With A Cold Paradise, the band deliver a compelling introduction to what A COLD PARADISE are all about: modern metal balancing power and vulnerability, driven by strong melodies, intense atmospheres and a distinct identity of their own. 

In celebration of the record release, the band is premiering a music video for the song "Once Upon A Dream," featuring musical star Benét Monteiro. Watch the clip now streaming below:

A COLD PARADISE was founded in 2025 by Antonio Calanna, known to many metalheads as the former vocalist of All For Metal. The project was born from a desire to emphasize atmosphere, melody, and emotional depth within heavy music, without compromising its force.

Rooted in genuine feeling, A COLD PARADISE builds its sound from the inside out, letting emotion guide both songwriting and production. Heavy riffs collide with expressive melodies, and carefully woven electronic elements shape the emotional arc of each song. The band works with a defined collective identity: music, lyrics, and visuals all feed into the same artistic world, where storytelling, contrast, and emotional weight matter as much as the breakdowns. Living in the tension between vulnerability and force, A COLD PARADISE blends modern metal and rock with immersive textures to create a dynamic, evocative, and unmistakably human sound.

Since their formation, A COLD PARADISE have quickly proven themselves as one of the most promising new names in modern metal. Seamlessly blending metalcore, alternative metal and contemporary melodic influences, the band creates a sound that is both crushing and cinematic, equally driven by aggression and vulnerability.

The debut release marks an important milestone, presenting a collection of songs that explore themes of inner conflict, personal growth and emotional resilience. Combining massive riffs, memorable hooks and heartfelt lyricism, A Cold Paradise delivers a dynamic and emotionally charged listening experience that highlights the band's musical identity. Order the album now at this location: https://acp.rpm.link/albumPR

Wolf Hoffmann about "Losers and Winners":
"We've known Hansi for a long time. Funnily enough, we've never really toured together or hardly ever played at festivals together, but we've known and respected each other for many years. They've been around forever. I thought Hansi would be a cool guy for that song, and lo and behold, he did a fantastic job. I really like how much effort people put into it. Nobody phoned it in and did a half-assed job. Everyone gave it all."

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: New Release Just Dropped From PLUME — WATCH + LISTEN

Rising alternative heavy act PLUME return with their striking new single "My Cortisol Face," the final release before their highly anticipated debut album Saferooms & Healing Frequencies arrives on September 25 via Arising Empire.

Blurring the lines between hyperpop shimmer, emotional metalcore and futuristic electronic production, "My Cortisol Face" captures PLUME at their most vulnerable and volatile. Glittering electronics collide with crushing guitars, ethereal clean vocals and piercing screams, creating a track that feels equally fragile, chaotic and euphoric.

Lyrically, the song dives headfirst into anxiety, distorted self perception and the exhausting battle against your own reflection. Images of glitter caught in the throat, ribs beneath paper thin skin and rehearsed smiles paint an unsettling picture of someone desperately trying to maintain the surface while everything underneath begins to fracture. The recurring question of whether this experience is a nightmare or everything they have been dreaming about sits at the emotional core of the track.

That conflict erupts in the chorus, where pain and style become almost inseparable. "My Cortisol Face" transforms inner turmoil into something strangely beautiful, balancing vulnerability with an undeniable sense of attitude and immediacy. As the song builds towards its desperate final moments, repeated questions of whether the pain will ever end underline the feeling of being trapped in an emotional freefall.

The single follows PLUME’s recent releases "Digital Waterboarding," "Furious Icon," "Angel Engine," and "A Cure For A Knife's Blade," each revealing another side of the band's rapidly evolving sonic identity. Since signing with Arising Empire earlier this year, the German four-piece has continued to establish itself as one of the most intriguing newcomers in modern alternative heavy music, combining pop sensibility with distorted guitars, synthesizers, fractured rhythms and a visual identity inspired by glam rock and contemporary digital culture.

Fronted by Pascal Pashaee alongside guitarist David Riederer, keyboardist Luka Lorch and drummer Richard Kilian, PLUME approach their music as more than a collection of songs. Their immersive live performances and carefully constructed visual world form an extension of a sound that refuses to sit comfortably within a single genre.

With their debut album Saferooms & Healing Frequencies set for release on September 25, PLUME are preparing to bring that vision into full focus. The 13-track record represents the next major step for a band increasingly determined to reshape the boundaries between pop, metalcore and forward thinking alternative music.

As the final glimpse of the album before its arrival, "My Cortisol Face" feels like a fitting statement of intent: intimate, dramatic, unpredictable and unapologetically PLUME.

Catch the band live:
9/19 — Lyon 07 France — La Petit Salon

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: New Releases Just Dropped From RESOLVE — WATCH + LISTEN

French metalcore force Resolve return with their brand new single "Spread My Ashes Into Space," marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for the band. Cinematic, crushing and deeply emotional, the track arrives alongside the announcement of their new album of the same name, Spread My Ashes Into Space" set for release on January 15. The album is available to pre-order here.

With "Spread My Ashes Into Space," Resolve push their unmistakable sound into vast new territory. Monumental riffs, atmospheric electronics and soaring melodies collide with moments of raw vulnerability, creating a track that feels both intensely personal and almost otherworldly in scale. While firmly rooted in the modern metalcore DNA that has defined the band, the single expands their sonic world with a renewed sense of ambition, depth and cinematic scope.

At its heart, "Spread My Ashes Into Space" explores the overwhelming desire to escape when the weight of reality becomes impossible to ignore. Space becomes a metaphor for absolute freedom, a place beyond expectations, pressure and noise. Against imagery of infinite darkness, solar flares and hyperspace, the song wrestles with the line between surrender and self preservation.

The band comments, "This first single and title track dive into the moment the breaking point is reached, and how that kickstarts a new perspective. The core of this song revolves around one specific question that kept coming up when writing the lyrics: "Is it a cure or an escape?"

"We've had times when the sheer weight of everything, the noise, the expectations, made me almost consider changing up my whole life and escape to a quieter, more serene place. In this song, space represents this: an ultimate silence and isolation. A place with 'no rules, no gods, just infinite black unknown.' It’s about the desperate need to find a sanctuary where you can finally be free from the weight of reality, a place where you can just exist however you see fit. This place has been harder and harder to reach for me these past few years, and we think we're not alone in that.

"Some might read the lyrics and see a dark surrender, but we want the audience to see it as written from a place of hope. It's that feeling of being an 'escape artist with no hands,' trying to find a way out when you're completely backed into a corner. Ultimately, it's a very raw admission that sometimes, the urge to disappear isn't about wanting to escape the actual world, but simply trying to save yourself from a system that feels too loud."

The title track sets the stage for what promises to be Resolve’s most expansive and emotionally charged album era yet.

Following two acclaimed albums, millions of streams, appearances at Hellfest and extensive touring alongside internationally renowned acts, the French quartet continue to establish themselves as one of modern metalcore’s most compelling voices. Heavy without sacrificing atmosphere and vulnerable without losing its intensity, "Spread My Ashes Into Space" captures Resolve at a pivotal moment, redefining their signature sound while remaining unmistakably themselves.

Novelists Release Video for New Single "Ravage" — WATCH // Tour With Bilmuri

Just days after Rock en Seine — one of France's leading music festivals which lineup included Deftones, The Cure, and Tyler and the Creator — and ahead of their North American tour with Bilmuri, Novelists release "RAVAGE," a new single accompanied by a largely self-produced music video. The release marks the beginning of a busy stretch for the Parisian five-piece, leading up to their headline show at the Olympia on April 23, 2027.

Since the release of their acclaimed album CODA in May 2025, Novelists have come a long way. Still releasing through their own label, ACKOR Music, the band continues to refine an increasingly distinctive identity without sacrificing their creativity, underpinned by some of the most accomplished vocal and instrumental performances in their scene. With a frontwoman equally at home in metal and pop, Novelists continue to break the mold. Their visual identity now matches the ambition of a band shaped by extensive touring around the world, as demonstrated by their new video directed by Bastien Sablé, whose credits include work with Aya Nakamura , "RAVAGE" is the latest expression of that artistic vision.

"'RAVAGE' was never meant to play it safe," the band says. "We kept pushing the track further: Heavier, more melodic, wilder… until a baroque cello somehow felt like the most natural thing in the world. The video came from exactly the same impulse. We had the budget to make life easier and hand the project over to a big production company, but we chose to produce most of it ourselves, to make that budget go as far as possible, and achieve the most ambitious result we could. There's something very Novelists about doing everything ourselves, even when it makes our lives unnecessarily complicated, simply because we're obsessed with bringing what's in our heads to life exactly as we imagine it."

The release kicks off a packed schedule for a band who has not slowed down over the past 18 months: Hellfest, Francofolies, Graspop, Download UK, Resurrection Fest, tours across the United States, Europe and China, and a La Cigale show that sold out weeks in advance. Next up: tTeir imminent North American tour with Bilmuri, followed by a European run with The Devil Wears Prada this autumn, before their biggest-ever Paris headline show in 2027.

To celebrate the EP's arrival, she also served up the music video for the new single "Make It Out" . The clip captures the uncontrolled energy of this disarmingly catchy anthem with gritty footage and an appropriately claustrophobic performance. Watch it below:

Musically, the track's glitchy riff slips into a buoyant palm-muted groove, while airy keys carry the verses. Boosted by alternately crunching and chugging distortion, SHOWING TEETH translates anxiety into a transfixing refrain as she accepts, "Maybe it's too late to pick me up…I'll throw myself back down….Even up to now, I'll tell myself, 'You'll never make it out'." 

Amplifying her internal struggle aloud without shame, she fearlessly wrestles with self-defeat on the hook and pushes through with honesty and heart intact.

She teased the EP with the brutal and bludgeoning "Bad Exchanges." The latter is quickly nearing one million total streams. Plus, she delivered a chaotic music video to accompany the song. Watch it here. 

Earning acclaim, Revolver hailed it as "a series of noise-tastic riff swerves, ground-unsettling gravity blasts, deliciously disjointed sound effects and, of course, the ultra-violent screams and squeals of project leader and vocalist Addison." Metal Hammer named it one of "The 12 Best New Metal Songs You Need To Hear Right Now," going on to profess, "Maybe it's the frequent blast-beats, or the shrieking, grindcore like screeches, but the Nashville artist really nails a sense of frenzied mania."

The EP also boasts "Rip," which has amassed over 1 million streams and counting thus far. Revolver touted it among the "6 Best New Songs Right Now," raving: "Beyond that textual heaviness, SHOWING TEETH goes next level berserk with her feral shrieks."

This fall, she will hit the road as support to President on the band's sold-out North American Campaign 2026 for six weeks across North America. This run commences on September 4 in Nashville, TN at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and closes out on October 14 in Dallas, TX at House of Blues Dallas. All dates are below.

President Release "BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE" Out Now // U.S. Tour Starts — SOLD OUT

Multi-million streaming, UK-based collective PRESIDENT are pleased to reveal BLOOD OF YOUR EMPIRE, their debut full length via Atlantic Records. Listen and stream here.

Alongside the album release, the band shares "Sleepwalker."

Listen below. 

The album arrives the same day the band kicks off its first-ever headline tour, which is completely sold out.

PRESIDENT, who embarked on their first-ever full U.S. tour supporting Bad Omens earlier the year, are now headlining venues across North America. The live campaigns will feature support from Showing Teeth on select dates. The tour launches tonight at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, making additional stops across the U.S in Chicago, New York, Toronto, Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, Los Angeles. and more before wrapping up in Dallas at House of Blues on October 14.

The album is truly a moment in the overall President campaign.

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

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

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

Traditional Heavy Metallers THE UNKNOWN Release New Album 'Graveyard of Empires' Out Now via Mission 84 Productions

Traditional thrashers THE UNKNOWN proudly release their sophomore album, 'Graveyard of Empires,' out now via Mission 84 Productions. Celebrating the launch of the new album, the band also shares their new single, "Land of the Pure," alongside an official lyric video.

The band comments on the new track:

“'Land of the Pure' is loosely inspired by the book 'Train to Pakistan' and the 1947 Partition of India and Pakistan, telling its story through the perspective of a small border village made up of people of multiple faiths. At its core, the song is a meditation on the fragility of peace, how quickly neighbors can become divided, and the human cost when that peace begins to collapse."

Musically, the track stands apart through its use of tabla and cello, with the latter performed by Dr. Joe “The Metal Cellist” from Israel. His performance, combined with the tabla and Matt Fisher’s emotional vocal delivery, gives the song a distinctly human character, while the collaboration itself quietly reflects one of the ideas at the heart of the track: that understanding and friendship can create something beautiful in a world where we can so easily be divided.

Watch the Official Lyric Video for "Land of the Pure" Below:

THE UNKNOWN is a U.S.-based heavy metal band forging a powerful blend of traditional metal and thrash. Drawing influence from bands such as Jag Panzer, Manilla Road, Anthrax, and Iron Maiden, their sound combines crushing riffs and driving rhythms with soaring melodies and commanding, emotive vocals.

Their debut album, ‘Vanishing Point,’ released through ZYX/GoldenCore Records, earned strong reviews from metal publications and fans around the world, establishing the band as a rising force in the underground heavy metal scene.

Now, THE UNKNOWN return with their new album, ‘Graveyard of Empires,’ pushing their sound even further with bigger arrangements, deeper atmosphere, and an even sharper edge. Rooted in the spirit of classic heavy metal while bringing their own modern intensity, the band continues their mission to keep true metal alive while carving out their own path within the genre.

The album's title is a conceptual statement. 'Graveyard of Empires' explores the fall not of nations, but of ideas, the collapse of peace, the erosion of the human spirit, the slow unraveling of everything we build and everything we believe in. From the battlefields of World War II to the death of civilizations that never got the chance to flourish, to the quiet question of what remains of humanity when humanity itself is no longer the only answer...

About the album, Aamir Syed comments:

"As an album, it isn't about geopolitics, but there is a running theme throughout the stories that we're telling. The empires that fall in this record are ideas, concepts, and the slow collapse of peace. The belief that we're building toward something, and then it falls apart due to greed and corruption. That's what we're mourning."

Order 'Graveyard of Empires' HERE

September 11th - Hamden, CT @ The Cellar

September 13th - Brooklyn, NY @The Meadows

COUNTRY SPLASH KICKS OFF INAUGURAL WEEKEND IN CABO SAN LUCAS

Country Splash’s inaugural weekend is officially underway, bringing country music against the backdrop of a destination getaway to launch the first-ever multi-day beachfront country festival in Cabo, with performances from Tucker Wetmore, Dasha and more launching the three-day experience at Paradisus Los Cabos.
 
As guests arrived at Paradisus Los Cabos, they were welcomed by sunny skies, oceanfront views and the festival’s service-first hospitality. With the all-inclusive resort and beach open for guests to settle into the destination throughout the day, the anticipation built ahead of the evening’s Main Stage performances.
 
At 7 p.m., Jacob Hackworth kicked things off as the sun began to set over Cabo, performing songs from his upcoming debut EP What Took You So Long, before Dee Jay Silver arrived to keep the energy building, blending country favorites with hip-hop, house and EDM between each act, followed by Blake Whiten, whose performance included his Billboard Hot 100-charting single “Bet On That.”
 
Dasha then took the stage to deliver a high-energy set that included her breakout hit, “Austin,” complete with a full-band show to cap it off.
 
Tucker Wetmore brought the inaugural night to its peak with a set featuring fan-favorites “Wind Up Missing You,” “3, 2, 1,” and “Sunburn.”
 
“Great to be able to do what I love at the beach,” Wetmore enthused a half-dozen songs in. “This is officially night one of Country Splash,” he proudly exclaimed to a ready-crowd before introducing his friend and co-writer, Hackworth, to join him on “Wine Into Whiskey.” With a 90-minute set that included “doing whatever I want up here,” Wetmore took the intentionally-intimate festival crowd back with “Casino” and brought a comedic side with banter in between his cover of "Drops of Jupiter” and leading the at-capacity-crowd through Beethoven, Queen and Journey sing-alongs on piano.
 
As day one came to a close, Country Splash Cabo’s opening night line-up set the tone for the rest of the weekend, with its intimate setting offering the energy of a can’t-miss festival alongside the personalized experience at the heart of Country Splash.
 
Country Splash continues Saturday with morning wellness programming hosted by Sports Research, a daytime pool party featuring Diplo and ADHD, a sunset acoustic performance from surprise guests and evening performances from Jon Pardi, LOCASH and Zach John King.
 
Single day tickets are still available for Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, featuring performances from Riley Green, Cameron Whitcomb, Lauren Watkins, VAVO and more. Tickets are available to purchase HERE.
 
On Saturday, September 5, and Sunday, September 6, Country Splash and official wellness partner Sports Research are bringing opportunities to reset and recharge through the weekend with a Saturday morning movement and meditation session and Diplo’s Wellness Experience on Sunday. Both experiences are scheduled for 9am and are available to book through Country Splash’s concierge team.
 
Throughout the weekend, Sports Research will serve as Country Splash’s wellness concierge, weaving hydration, recovery and self-care into the guest experience. The interactive Recovery Lounge will feature Sports Research Hydrate Electrolytes, Vitamin D3+K2 Gummies and Vitamin C Gummies, with Hydrate also available in the Members Private Club and dedicated wellness support for participating artists. Festivalgoers will also get an exclusive first look at what’s next from Sports Research, previewing a new product ahead of its official launch.

Chart-Topping Rock Heavyweights THEORY OF A DEADMAN Release New EP 'Part 1: Funeral Songs' — Out Now via ONErpm

Chart-topping veterans THEORY OF A DEADMAN are proud to release their new EP, 'Part 1: Funeral Songs,' out now via ONErpm. Celebrating the release, the band also shares the new single, "Monster Truck," alongside an official video.

Marking a new chapter for the band, comprising Tyler Connolly, Dave Brenner, Dean Back, and Joe Dandeneau, the new EP delivers their signature mix of gritty riffs, anthemic hooks, and unfiltered lyricism with a renewed sense of urgency.

On the new track, Connolly shares:

“'Monster Truck' came about when we went and watched grave digger practice one day. The driver Tyler was super cool. It was so loud and huge. I was like this is the sound of america."

On the EP release, he continues, "We're focusing now on a ‘more music more often’ kinda approach. With an EP out this September then another in March. Eventually will put them together as a whole LP with even more new songs for our fans sometime in 2027.”

Watch the Video for "Monster Truck" Below:

THEORY OF A DEADMAN have carved out their own lane as one of modern rock’s most unapologetic forces, racking up multi-platinum hits, chart-topping albums, and sold-out shows worldwide. Blending witty, candid songwriting with undeniable riffs and massive melodic hooks, the Canadian quartet—Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, Dave Brenner, and Joe Dandeneau—have built a career defined by both attitude and staying power.

From fan favorites like “Santa Monica” to gold-certified hit “All Or Nothing,” platinum singles “Hate My Life” and “Bitch Came Back,” and the double-platinum “Not Meant To Be,” the band has delivered a steady stream of rock staples. They’ve landed twelve Top 10 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, including four #1 singles: “Bad Girlfriend,” “Lowlife,” “History Of Violence,” and “Rx (Medicate).” The latter stands as the biggest hit of their career, earning a nomination for “Rock Song of the Year” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Along the way, TOAD have achieved two Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200, four Top 5 debuts on the Canadian Albums Chart, and multiple Juno Award nominations, while drawing praise from outlets including American Songwriter, Billboard, and Classic Rock Magazine.

Better Noise Signs Death Valley Dreams // Band Shares Cover of Chris Isaak's Melancholy Classic "Wicked Game"

BETTER NOISE MUSIC is pleased to welcome the ever-enigmatic DEATH VALLEY DREAMS to the label's roster. The band serves up a cocktail of brooding rock, atmospheric vibes, neo-new wave synths, and gloomy guitars. Indeed, Death Valley Dreams are a master class in gloriously melancholic music — they provide the soundtrack for nyctophiles.

Siphoning influence from '80s pioneers The Cure, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, and Echo & The Bunnymen, as well as early '00s torchbearers The Killers, and Interpol while appealing to fans of newer acts like Nation of Language and Boy Harsher, Death Valley Dreams are magnets for those who prefer the darker side of life.

Lexie Viklund, Director of A&R, says, "Death Valley Dreams brings an exciting new dimension to the Better Noise roster. With a group of seasoned professionals coming together to pursue their shared passion for music, the possibilities are truly endless. We couldn't be more excited to welcome them to the Better Noise family."

Alongside the signing news, the band has shared its cover of Chris Isaak's elegiac "Wicked Game." They've added their own slow-burning spin to this haunting classic. 

Watch the video Below:

The cover is an inspired choice for Death Valley Dreams, whose own music thrives in the same space between darkness, desire, melancholy, and tension. Shimmering guitars, pulsing textures, and an intoxicating sense of suspense amplify the song's underlying ache, turning a familiar classic into something seductive, modern, and unmistakably their own.

There's an undeniable nocturnal quality to Death Valley Dreams’ rendition: Unsettling yet beautiful, like stumbling into a tantalizing late-night scene from a Quentin Tarantino film where you know something dangerous is about to happen. The song feels drenched in neon, shadows, desire, and mystery, capturing the magnetic pull of the original while heightening its cinematic allure. Rather than simply recreating "Wicked Game," DEATH VALLEY DREAMS tap into what made the song so enduring and reimagines it through their own dark-alternative lens.

"It's one of those songs that’s just hauntingly beautiful and dark," offers the band's singer and keyboardist. "I've always gravitated toward that kind of mood, and ‘Wicked Game' has always been one of those songs that stuck with me. It fits the world we've built as a band so naturally that it just made sense to take our own approach to it."

Fans of rock new and old can catch on the road this fall with The Rasmus and Saint Agnes. These September dates offer the perfect chance to experience DEATH VALLEY DREAMS in their element — after dark, surrounded by a room full of people discovering a band that feels destined for much bigger stages. All dates are below.

Fight From Within Release New Single “The End of My Rope” ​

Upstate New York metalcore/hardcore band Fight From Within are back with their latest single, “The End of My Rope,” available now via Arson Theory. Produced by Daniel Thabet of Liquid Studios, the new track marks a new chapter for the band as they continue to sharpen their aggressive blend of metalcore, hardcore, and beatdown while expanding their reach with a newly announced run of dates supporting Tallah.

“The End of My Rope” captures Fight From Within at their most intense, delivering crushing heaviness, relentless energy, and the raw emotional urgency that has become central to the band's sound. Built for the pit but rooted in genuine frustration and perseverance, the track showcases a band continuing to push their sound forward without sacrificing the aggression that brought them together.

Alongside the new single, Fight From Within have announced “The Absence of Good Tour,” a tour supporting Tallah that will bring the band’s high-impact live show to stages across the country.

The new era also comes with a change behind the scenes, as Fight From Within are now under the management of Eric Ellis, formerly of Bury Your Dead. Ellis' experience within the heavy music community brings a new level of momentum as the band prepares to take “The End of My Rope” on the road and introduce Fight From Within to an even wider audience.

“The End of My Rope” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

They have taken the stage at many key festivals, from Sonic Temple to The Gathering of the Juggles to Inkcarceration to Louder Than Life. The band headed into 2027 like a freight train — all gas, no brakes.

ABOUT 156/SILENCE

156/Silence makes intense, foreboding, and haunting music. Their songs are cinematic, blending brutality with intellect. They draw on real and imagined terror, all woven into melody and power. Vocalist and lyricist Jack Murray, guitarist and primary songwriter Jimmy Howell, guitarist Ryan Wilkinson, drummer Kyle O’Connell, and bassist Mike Ernst form a formidable unit, forged through shared passions and losses since the band’s earliest incarnation first formed in Pittsburgh in 2015. 

2024’s crowd pleaser, People Watching, was a watershed moment, boasting breakout anthems “Better Written Villain” and “Character Development (Cold Start).” Distorted Sound wrote, “There is enough in the band’s repertoire to not only keep you entertained but also keep you guessing.”

From a Distance, its spiritual sequel and the band’s first album with Pure Noise Records, ups the ante with gut-wrenching depth and atmosphere. Their sixth album is dark and ponderous yet triumphantly self-assured. (It follows the devastating standalone single “Our Parting Ways,” released in 2025 in loving tribute to longtime bassist Lukas Booker, who passed away unexpectedly earlier that year.)

The group’s reputation as a live force of nature was earned on the road, where they deliver audience connection and sonic devastation while touring with the likes of The Devil Wears Prada, Chiodos, Fit For A King, Counterparts, Silent Planet, and The Acacia Strain, among other contemporaries. 

Produced by Josh Schroeder (King 810, Lorna Shore, The Plot In You), From a Distance finds 156/Silence heavy as hell, while leaning into atmosphere, mood, and emotional impact even harder. The group reverently namechecks classic game scores like Resident Evil and Silent Hill, and the heady concepts of prestige TV like Twin Peaks (a sample from Apple TV’s Severance opens the album). 

Murray’s lyrics remain keenly observational, personal, and incisive. From a Distance serves as a bold thematic companion to its predecessor. While earlier records often documented tension at close range, From a Distance observes from a wider vantage point, examining social behavior, celebrity worship, intrusive thoughts, and interpersonal connection with steely focus. 

That authenticity is crucial to the band’s ever-growing audience.  

No two 156/Silence albums are alike, from the unhinged frenetic chaos of Undercover Scumbag (2018) to the gloriously savage and technical Irrational Pull (2020), which Metal Hammer likened to Converge and Botch. The diverse ruminations found in Narrative(2022) took things even further. BrooklynVegan called that album “bolder and richer” and “an exciting step forward for [the] band.” 

People Watching continued the prolific outfit’s tradition of steadfast evolution and innovation. Revolver praised the dark melodic edge of the Animal Farm-inspired “Better Written Villain,” declaring, “156/Silence may have just penned an instant classic of their own canon.” 

As Howell points out, they’d never really tried singing choruses and hooks prior to People Watching. “It went so well that we decided to double down on that.” From a Distance also features guest appearances from some formidable vocalists: Mike Hranica of The Devil Wears Prada, Alex Reade of Make Them Suffer, and Tony Castrati of Crippling Alcoholism. It also cranks up the soundscapes. 

“I look toward bands we love that grew with their listeners, like Thrice and Bring Me The Horizon,” Howell says of their continuing creative mission. “They have a sound, but they grow and change. Some bands are comfortable repeating the same thing again. I don’t want to do that. I want to make you feel the way you do when you hear one of those important bands, without sounding like them.”

Murray describes the title track as “a love song” and “probably the most Twin Peaks-inspired song.”

From a Distance cuts deeper into People Watching’s lyrical heart. “Proxy Idols” tackles celebrity worship. “Order & Entropy”contemplates maintaining focus amid the utter devastation of things falling apart. “Swept from Under (Call of the Void)” sees Murraywrestling with intrusive thoughts. “They tell you to hurt yourself, even when you don’t feel bad,” he says. “It’s just the ever-looming shadow of weird and intrusive thoughts, and negativity, of just being swept from under by the void.” 

From straightforward hard rock to synth-heavy experimentation and all the way back to the band’s deadly mathcore roots, 156/Silencehave established themselves as unbound by any genre limitation. 

“We could go anywhere now, and that’s the goal,” Howell says. “Nothing is ever off the table.” 

BEHEMOTH - Unleash New Single & Video 'In League With Satan' + New Release "I, Scvlptor" Out Now!

Polish extreme metal legends, BEHEMOTH, unleash 'In League with Satan', the second single from their new studio release, I, Scvlptor, which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records (digitally) and Massacre Records (physically). The music video for 'In League with Satan' was produced by the acclaimed Polish production collective Grupa 13. The song and the video feature very special guest, Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir.

Nergal commented on the new single:
 
“When we were looking for a name for our tour with Dimmu Borgir, I thought it would be great to use a timeless slogan and basically quote the gods of satanic rock’n’roll — Venom and “In League with Satan” perfectly fit my vision. I honestly don’t remember what came first — the idea for the tour name or the idea of recording the song itself. What matters is that we recorded it on seven-string guitars with Shagrath from Dimmu as a guest vocalist. The song gained a massive weight and a completely new dimension. We’re planning to play it live and I think our version turned into something truly powerful.”

Watch the music video for 'In League With Satan' Below:

'I, Scvlptor', which is out today, is an exclusive release featuring eight previously unreleased songs - seven new studio recordings and one live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band's foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth's live energy and intensity. Two tracks - 'Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil' (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and 'In Thy Pandemaeternum' (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) - are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth - 'In League With Satan' (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and 'The Return of Darkness and Evil' (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited-Edition Box Set through Massacre Records worldwide and digitally via Nuclear Blast Records.

Nergal commented:
“We’re fucking excited about the release of I, Scvlptor. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, The Shit Ov God. That’s why we see I,Scvlptor as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”
