HOUSE OF LORDS shares a new single, "Cry of the Wicked", from their latest album 'Full Tilt Overdrive', the band's twelfth studio album, via Frontiers Music Srl. The album is produced by vocalist James Christian and keyboardist Mark Mangold and is an inspired collection that proudly stands among the best in the band’s repertoire. The new single, "Cry of the Wicked", is accompanied by a music video available to view below.

About the song, vocalist James Christian states:

"Drowning in the tears of the innocent, you hear the 'Cry of the Wicked'—retribution unleashed for evil deeds."

HOUSE OF LORDS stands for superb hooks and majestic atmospheres that bring back the memories of their stellar debut album, monumental guitar riffs, and a production to die for. All of these ingredients you will find in abundance on 'Full Tilt Overdrive'.

Watch the Music Video for "Cry of the Wicked" Below:

HOUSE OF LORDS is now formed by the legendary singer James Christian – the sole member who appeared on all the band’s albums - guitarist Jimi Bell, who has been with the band since their return with 'World Upside Down,' the charismatic keyboardist and songwriter Mark Mangold (Touch, Michael Bolton, Drive, She Said) along with Swedish drummer Johan Koleberg (Lions Share, Ignition, Therion). This is the same line-up that appeared on the previous album 'Saints And Sinners' however they are now definitely more gelled and have produced a more focused and extremely ambitious new album with no weak points.

With plans to bring these new songs to stages across Europe and the States, HOUSE OF LORDS continues to be a driving force in the hard rock scene.

HOUSE OF LORDS debuted in 1989 with the release of their self-titled album, a record that is still regarded as one of the best arena rock releases of the 1980s. The colossal sound, the soaring vocals of Christian, and the instrumental capabilities of the band (which featured ex-Angel and Giuffria keyboardist Gregg Giuffria, along with luminaries Lanny Cordola, Chuck Wright, and Ken Mary), were reminiscent of such frontrunners as Whitesnake, Deep Purple and Van Halen and immediately brought the band to the attention of the mainstream music media and the masses of '80s hard rock fans.

With their sophomore release, 'Sahara,' HOUSE OF LORDS had considerable radio and video chart success with their cover of Blind Faith's "Can't Find My Way Home." After a tour with Nelson in 1991, the group disbanded, eventually coming back together with a new lineup (featuring original members Giuffria and Christian) in 1992 with "Demon's Down." With the change in musical climate at the time, HOUSE OF LORDS hibernated until the original lineup came back together in 2000, releasing the controversial "Power And The Myth," an album that featured a sound leaning more towards progressive hard rock with '70s rock influences.

After a short European tour, Christian decided to go back to the trademark arena rock sound of HOUSE OF LORDS, putting together a new lineup with the blessing of founding member Giuffria, who opted out right before the release of "Power And The Myth." New members Jimi Bell on guitars and B.J. Zampa on drums supplied a true powerhouse sound to the fifth studio album, "World Upside Down,' a record that caused a real stir in the hard rock and melodic rock scenes. That album was followed up by the equally impressive "Come To My Kingdom" in 2008, "Cartesian Dreams" in 2009, "Big Money" in 2011, "Precious Metal" in 2014, and "Saint Of The Lost Souls" in 2017.

HOUSE OF LORDS have toured relentlessly in Europe and the States in support of their releases and are a true staple of the hard rock scene on both continents.

HOUSE OF LORDS are:

James Christian - vocals, bass

Jimi Bell - guitars

Mark Mangold - keyboards

Johan Koleberg - drums

Just To Say We Did: Kenny Chesney's Sphere Sales Are Almost Gone

Kenny Chesney knew when he signed on to a series of shows at the groundbreaking Sphere, he was going to bring his songs into a world of wrap-around visual, sound quality that defies the imagination and the opportunity to bring No Shoes Nation into another dimension. Something that almost defies comprehension, the notion of “you have to see it to believe it” didn’t stop the people who have made the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar’s summer stadium tours a celebration of living, loving, friends, fun and positivity.
 
With the official on-sale day seeing most of the tickets snapped up, most of the inventory is gone. With only a few Sandbar tickets, VIP packages and scattered tickets available, the rush to see the man Variety called “country music’s only true long-term stadium act” demonstrates a curiosity for new experiences that matches Chesney’s own.
 
“You never know when you do something outside the box if people will follow you,” Chesney admits. “I had a feeling as hard as No Shoes Nation sings all these songs back to me summer after summer, the chance to take this singular deep dive into them would hit them the same way it hit me. To be wrapped in this sound quality and all new visuals means a whole different way to get inside the music, and they’re as ready as I am.”
 
Only the sixth act and first country artist to play Sphere, Chesney understood it would mean re-thinking various aspects of how he and his band approach his legendary live shows. From the wrap-around 160,000 square foot screen that extends from the stage across the domed ceiling, as well as sound dialed in almost to each specific seat, the experience of how the music will hit wasn’t lost on him. Plus, these shows will be his only tour dates for 2025.
 
“Sometimes you want to go where other acts haven’t been yet,” Chesney explained. “You don’t always know what’s going to happen, but that adds to the excitement. Anyone who loves music wants to get as immersed in it as possible. For me, Sphere offered something you can’t experience anywhere else – and even before we get there, I’m already finding myself in spaces with the songs and visuals I’d never thought of. It’s like magic, only better.”
 
Many fans are making a weekend of it. Whether seeking to bundle tickets through Vibee VIP packages offering The Venetian Resort Las Vegas and Virgin Hotels Las Vegas special rates as part of the block of rooms set aside for these shows, or merely purchasing one of the remaining tickets, No Shoes Nation can have a weekend in Vegas as part of country music history in the making. As Chesney’s rousing “Just To Say We Did” is scaling the country radio charts, few songs capture the spark and shoot your shot of this moment.

Kenny Chesney Live at Sphere Las Vegas is presented by Blue Chair Bay® Rum.

Disciples of Verity Release New Single "Thread The Needle" via TLG|ZOID ​

Disciples of Verity, fronted by the legendary Corey Glover (Living Colour), have unveiled their latest single, "Thread the Needle," through TLG|ZOID and distributed by Virgin Music Group.

The song is from their sophomore album titled NEXUS that was produced by George Pond and co-produced by Sahaj Ticotin. Accompanying the release of the single is a music video that offers a powerful visual representation of the song’s message.

Corey Pierce shares, "'Thread the Needle' is such a dynamic song as it's based in the roots of pessimism versus hope in an abstract call to all of us moving into an unforseen future."

"Thread the Needle" is now available on all major streaming platforms, and the accompanying music video can be viewed on the band’s official YouTube channel.

WATCH the video below:

Fueled by an insatiable urge to create and collaborate, this heavy metal incarnation seeks to challenge all that they believe to be true with their project, Disciples of Verity (DOV). The band features heavy-hitters such as Corey Glover (Living Colour), Corey Pierce (God Forbid), George Pond (Negative Sky, Swim The Current), Mark Monjoy (Sekond Skyn), and Zack Miranowic (Sekond Skyn, Riversend). This all-star band unleashes an onslaught to the senses with a new sound that can only be described as “a new breed of crossover Metal.”

The band formed just over four years ago after mutual projects brought the five members together. With Pond as the common denominator, having played with each of these artists throughout his career, his songs with Corey Glover were quickly embraced by the others, which evolved into their debut album, Pragmatic Sanction.

Over the next eight months, DOV feverishly cranked out eight heavy, hook-laden songs with one distinct element—their infectious, melodic grooves. Ranging from Hardcore, Metalcore and even Active Rock, the band knew that their debut would be like nothing else in the industry and brought in a veritable “who’s who” of the hard rock and metal industry to up the ante.

Four years have passed since the release of their first single from Pragmatic Sanction. However, now comes the dawn of a new age. They have been quietly working on 12 new tracks for their sophomore album titled NEXUS. The band worked with producer Sahaj Ticcotin, who has worked with Starset, Motley Crue, RA, Bad Wolves, and many more.This monster of a record is set to be released in 2025 through TLG/ZOID, and distributed through Virgin Music Group.

Disciples of Verity:

UK Metal Legends RAGING SPEEDHORN Come Out Swinging On New Video "Every Night’s Alright For Fighting"

Corby sextet RAGING SPEEDHORN return with a new, wrestling-themed music video for "Every Night's Alright For Fighting" off of their upcoming album 'Night Wolf', out on March 7th via Spinefarm.

On the video, RAGING SPEEDHORN shares:

“We all love the late 80’s/90’s wrestling era (the Golden age) and this is a video we have wanted to film for a long time. Finally we wrote ‘Every Night’s Alright For Fighting’ and we knew this was the song straight away to pay homage to some of our childhood heroes of the squared circle. The song itself embraces the more classic SPEEDHORN sound, and we’re stoked to finally release our tongue in cheek tribute to the masses. We hope you all like it! Oooooh Yeahhhh!”

Watch the Video for "Every Night's Alright For Fighting" Below:

'Night Wolf' marks another powerful collaboration between RAGING SPEEDHORN and acclaimed producer Russ Russell (Napalm Death, At The Gates, and Dimmu Borgir) at Kettering's Parlour Studios. Having previously helmed the band's 'Lost Ritual' and 'Hard To Kill' albums, Russell helps deliver 10 ferocious, riff-centered tracks that showcase the band's signature intensity.

“I think ‘Night Wolf’ is more of a progression of the last record,” states ringleader Morison, “that's what we've gone for really. When we first got back together after our hiatus, we didn't really know what we wanted to do. [2016’s] ‘Lost Ritual’ came quite quickly, because we didn't have enough time to write it. With [2020’s] ‘Hard To Kill’, we took more time to do it, and with‘Night Wolf’ we've taken a lot of time to do it really, we just wanted to make sure it was right this time. It's probably the longest we've ever taken to write a record; we wanted to make sure it was just right, and we were happy with it before we went in to record.”

Pre-Order 'Night Wolf' HERE

RAGING SPEEDHORN joined the Spinefarm roster in 2024 and sees ‘Night Wolf’ as a new chapter in the continued legacy of RAGING SPEEDHORN; perfectly capturing the magic the band have concocted over their 25-year plus career. Flipping between sludge, crushing doom and high-energy dirt-fueled rock ‘n’ roll riffs, they’ve matured like a fine wine.

Since the release of their eponymous debut in 2000, RAGING SPEEDHORN have enjoyed a career built on unhinged, raucous live shows and albums to boot. They’ve played countless worldwide shows and festivals, sharing stages with Slipknot, Clutch, Biohazard, Enter Shikari, Skindred, earthtone9 and many more. 

Notably, SPEEDHORN opened the infamous 2001 UK Ozzfest at Milton Keynes Bowl, playing in front of 50,000 metalheads, received Kerrang! Award nominations and spent a night behind bars in Spain while on tour with Biohazard. Then, there’s the havoc they caused during the 2002 Kerrang! Awards in London, which resulted in Placebo’s Brian Molko joining in on the action and flipping over the band’s alcohol-laden table.

Their last album, ‘Hard To Kill’, was released during the global pandemic on the band’s own label Red Weed Records. Successfully navigating the difficulties that ensued during that time, ‘Hard To Kill’ was RAGING SPEEDHORN’s biggest release in years and made numerous UK chart appearances: #11 Rock & Indie Chart, #7 Indie Breakers Chart, #26 indie charts, and #95 physical charts – the first time the band had chart success since 2001.

RAGING SPEEDHORN are:

Frank Regan – vocals

Daniel Cook – vocals

James Palmer – guitar

Daf Williams – guitar

Andy Gilmour – bass

Gordon Morison – drums

The Intemperate Sons Release Single "Broken Door" (Live) via FRAME|WORK ​

The Intemperate Sons are stoked to announce the release of the first single from their first ever live EP, recorded during their electrifying performance at the legendary Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, CA in November 2024. This amped up rendition of a fan-favorite track from their debut album delivers a powerful, full-throttle energy, showcasing a heavier and dynamic new edge!

Stream "Broken Door"

https://onerpm.link/289181206036

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.  All mastering is done by Mike Marsh Mastering in the U.K.

The band's latest album Dark Day's Night is available HERE

The Intemperate Sons emerged onto the rock scene in the summer of 2019 in Dallas, TX, to bring their distinct sound to the genre. A deep love for music brought family members Keith Watson (drums), Jake Watson (guitars) and Max Watson (vocals, guitars, keys) together along with close friend Mark Marks, who provides the groove on bass to unite everything together. The band's sound has been described as a 90's alternative style that is obsessed with the 70's.

Keith is well acquainted with entertaining massive crowds of concert goers and has played with many successful bands in Dallas, such as Gun Hill, Natural Born Thrillers and Agents of Solace, on top of opening for Lynch Mob, Joe Lynn Turner and Sponge. He is the primary lyricist for the band and has written the music for some of their most successful songs, including “Dust to Dust,” “The Color Within,” and “Unrealized.”

Multi-talented and gifted with the ability to play various instruments, Max is also the lead vocalist of the group. Along with being musically dexterous, he has also collaborated with Keith to write lyrics on the released songs “Going Crazy” and “Way Back When.” In the studio, Max usually surmounts expectations and goes above and beyond to prepare prior to a session with his own vocal harmonies.

Jake is the song architect of the Sons and extremely instrumental in the crafting of the music. His inventive ways of bringing lyrics to life in clever ways are unprecedented and fascinating to see in the studio setting. He is a prolific writer of music as well and is credited with helping create the songs “What’s Done is Done,” “Remission,” “Way Back When” and “Wading in the Gray.” Both Max and he play lead guitar on many of the songs as well. The other members of the band fondly refer to him as the “art director” since he enjoys taking charge in those areas for the group.

Prolific and unifying, Mark is an accomplished bass player and well known in Dallas. He was in the regionally successful band, Haggard, and had opened for Sebastian Bach of Skid Row. His input in song writing has been invaluable to the process of creating captivating melodies.

Despite the pandemic putting a pause on many major events, The Intemperate Sons lived up to their name and let nothing hold them back from making music. Constantly hard at work in the studio, they have collaborated with Amir Derakh (Julien-K, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy, Rough Cutt) and Ryan Shuck (Julien-K, Adema, Dead by Sunrise, Orgy). Both have lent their musical talents to various songs and ultimately have brought the Sons on to their label, Frame|Work. This led the band to also recently join the management roster at The Label Group. Ryan worked with Amir to produce the band’s upcoming track, “Game of Keep Away,”and has had a huge impact on the group. He’s been especially influential on Max’s vocal melodies and delivery. Amir also plays guitar on this latest ballad and has been mixing all of the band’s music as well as performing on multiple songs.

Another notable collaboration has been with Tony Franklin (The Firm, Roy Harper, Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Whitesnake), primarily on the first album, The Color Within. He has been a valuable friend of the band and has played bass on some of their best tracks from that album, including “Running Man,” “Dust to Dust” and “The Color Within.”

The Intemperate Sons’ take on alternative rock is a dark and powerful concoction of hard rock mixed with folk and grunge concepts. The band has earned a serious reputation for writing and performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style, which has a retro vibe with many guitar-driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate at a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots and even R.E.M.

The Intemperate Sons are:

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

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

Bloodywood Announce New Album "Nu Delhi" Out 3/21 + Share "Tadka" Video

Bloodywood, torchbearers and metal barrier-breakers hailing from India, are thrilled to announce their new album NU DELHI, out March 21 via Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

To celebrate the good news, the band has shared the video for new single "TADKA." Watch it below.

With "TADKA," the band offers up another gritty and groove metal anthem with traditional instrumentation. The song packs a nu metal punch, pairing monster truck-sized riffs and hellbound screaming with classic sounds that reflect their culture. Bloodwywood walk the line between genres fearlessly and without a net, and the result is a hard rock banger unlike which you've heard before.

It's quite a tasty track — literally.
 

"'Tadka' is a metal tribute to Indian food," the band declares. "The word 'Tadka' is a cooking process in Indian cuisine where spices are heated in hot oil or ghee to create a more aromatic flavor... It's about going the extra mile in the pursuit of a greater flavor."

The band continues, "The song highlights the multi-faceted chaos of Indian kitchens that are tasked with perfectly executing centuries-old recipes on a daily basis as well as the immense joy they brings to most people. This is a never-ending love story that connects an entire nation. From the fanciest fine dining restaurants to the simplest road side stall, everyone brings something magical to the table, but the undisputed champion of the cuisine is the Indian household kitchen. When you fuse these recipes and techniques with the love of an Indian family home, the result is unbeatable."

It's the kind of joy that Bloodywood just had to share — so they did.
 
"Tadka' follows the video for "BEKHAUF," the band's collaboration with BABYMETAL, which was lauded by Consequence, Revolver, Brave Words, Rock Sound, Crunchyroll, and more. Watch the video here. It was a true Asian metal cultural collision that grabbed the scene and beyond by the throat and forced the music world to pay attention!
 
Bloodywood will spend most of 2025 on tour. All currently confirmed dates are here, with additional dates, including U.S. tour planned for 2025. So stay tuned for more Bloodywood world domination.

International Powerhouse Rock Group W.E.T. Announce New Album 'Apex' Out on March 28th via Frontiers Music SRL

International powerhouse rock group W.E.T. are pleased to announce the release of their highly anticipated new studio album, 'Apex', set for release on March 28th via Frontiers Music Srl. The new track, “Where Are The Heroes Now”, and its accompanying lyric video are out now and available to view below.

Guitarist Erik Mårtensson describes the new single:

“This track embodies everything we love about W.E.T. – a true heavy classic. It was an absolute honor to share vocals with Jeff, backed by our incredible band delivering powerful performance after powerful performance. The epic solo by Magnus Henriksson at the end elevates the song to unimaginable heights. Stellar work by maestros Jeff Scott Soto, Robert Sall, Jamie Borger, Andreas Passmark, and Magnus Henriksson!”

“The song carries a dark yet hopeful tone, addressing the overwhelming challenges and hardships we face, both past and future ones, while expressing a longing for light and guidance amidst the darkness”, he adds.

'Apex', the fifth studio album of the melodic supergroup, is a bold statement in the band's confidence that they have delivered their best work to date. Eleven tracks full of big choruses and hooky melodies, all served on a platter of smooth heaviness.

Watch the Lyric Video for "Where Are The Heroes Now" Below:

The acronym W.E.T. comes from the members’ association with other bands, Robert Säll & Andreas Passmark from Work of Art, Erik Mårtensson & Magnus Henriksson from Eclipse and Jeff Scott Soto from Talisman. And now, for the first time ever, the T is emphasized as Talisman drummer Jamie Borger has joined forces with the band’s original core members.

W.E.T. truly epitomizes what melodic rock has become in the new decade. The key element at the foundation of W.E.T. has always been to create a modern melodic hard rock sound that will drive the genre into the future. Combining powerhouse rhythms and top-notch production (courtesy of Erik Martensson), the music is equally classic and contemporary. 

Although a side project to the members’ original bands, over the course of the band’s existence, W.E.T. have reconvened regularly over the last 15 years to produce four studio albums and a live record.

Starting with a genre-defining self-titled debut, Robert Säll (the “W” from Work of Art), Erik Mårtensson (the “E” from Eclipse), and Jeff Scott Soto (the “T” from Talisman) accepted the daunting task to give that debut a follow-up, 'Rise Up'. After that stellar follow-up, their third opus, 'Earthrage', cemented a legacy of music which will stand the test of time.'Retransmission', their latest album, is nothing else than an absolute milestone, which is well in keeping with the tradition established by the three amazing records that have preceded this one.

Erik Mårtensson says:

“It’s always a challenge to find that sweet spot in our calendars when we are all available, not to mention the fact that Jeff lives in California and the rest of us in Sweden. But I also believe that adds to our ambition once we are able to gather. We are all aware that we don’t get too many shots at this, so when we do we gotta make it count.”

Morgan Wallen Releases Title Track to 4th Studio Album: “I’m The Problem”

With two No. 1 singles already hailing off his highly-anticipated upcoming fourth studio album, I’m The Problem, two-time 2025 GRAMMY nominee Morgan Wallen releases the title track today. “I’m The Problem” is available everywhere now, listen HERE.
 
“I’m The Problem” was written by Wallen, Ernest Keith Smith, Ryan Vojtesak, Grady Block and Jamie McLaughlin, and produced by Joey Moi and Charlie Handsome. The song seamlessly blends the metallic ring of keys, played by Dave Cohen, with the steady strum of the electric guitar, played by Tom Bukovac, and acoustic guitar, played by Bryan Sutton.
 
“I’m The Problem” follows Wallen’s latest, “Smile,” which reached No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and was lauded by Good Morning America as “a moody heartbreak number.” Previous release “Love Somebody” recently became Wallen’s 17th No. 1 at Country radio. Upon its release in October, the song became Wallen’s first solo song to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It additionally debuted on 11 charts globally and led Wallen to become the first artist to have three singles each sit atop the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts simultaneously.
 
The upcoming project sparked Wallen’s recently announced 2025 I’m The Problem Tour. Kicking off June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Wallen’s 20-show run will include stops in Seattle, Washington; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Toronto, Ontario and more. With a second stop recently added in Madison, Wisconsin, Wallen’s appearances will mark the first time an artist has played two consecutive nights at Camp Randall Stadium.
 
A rotating lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel join in direct support with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson as first-of-three across select dates. General on-sale for I’m The Problem Tour begins tomorrow, Jan. 31, at 10 a.m. local time at MorganWallen.com. Coupled with his much buzzed about inaugural Sand In My Boots Festival taking place in Gulf Shores, Alabama May 16-18, these 21 shows are the only place to see the superstar in 2025. 
 
I’m The Problem comes as Wallen’s preceding projects, Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing At A Time, landed No. 1 and No. 6 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums of the 21st Century, respectively, following their blockbuster success. His third studio album, One Thing At A Time, sat atop the Billboard 200 Albums chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks – the most at No. 1 by a Country album – and yielded seven No. 1 singles at Country radio.

About Morgan Wallen
Dubbed Country’s “dominant superstar” by Stereogum with more than 3.1 million fans attending his One Night At A Time World Tour, the genre’s highest-selling tour ever, two-time 2025 GRAMMY nominee Morgan Wallen is entering 2025 with a refreshed setlist at hand, releasing new music, and preparing to headline his I'm The Problem Tour beginning June 20 in Houston, Texas. Before the tour kicks off, Wallen’s all-genre Sand In My Boots Music Festival, which sold out in less than 2 hours, hits Gulf Shores, Alabama in May.
 
With both Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing At A Time checking in at No. 1 and 6 on Billboard’s Top 200 Albums of the 21st Century, respectively, Wallen’s reign atop the charts has landed him 19 Billboard Music Awards to-date in just four years. The instant success of One Thing At A Time left The New York Times proclaiming Wallen as “one of the biggest stars in pop, period.” Recent release “Love Somebody” debuted at No. 1 globally across five countries and 11 charts, leading Wallen to become the first artist to have three singles sit atop the Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs charts simultaneously.
 
Wallen donates a portion from every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation. More at MorganWallen.com.

Additionally, in just the past year, Wilson was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, performed during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Halftime Show, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards, three awards at the 59th ACM Awards and two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she also made her hosting debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson also received two awards at this year’s ACM Honors: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.

A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored seven #1 hits including “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x PLATINUM Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has also collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor, as she made her acting debut in season 5 of Paramount’s hit series Yellowstone and recently returned for its final episode of the series. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.

Anuv Jain and AP Dhillon Deliver a Genre-Defying Track with “Afsos” Indie Meets Punjabi

Anuv Jain, one of the most celebrated voices in South Asia, has released his thirteenth single, marking a pivotal moment in his illustrious career. For the first time, the Ludhiana-based singer-songwriter has collaborated with Punjabi rapper and global sensation, AP Dhillon, on their new

single, "Afsos." This Punjabi track delivers a heartfelt, genre-defying masterpiece that will resonate with audiences worldwide.

"Afsos" dives into themes of regret and lost love, staying true to Jain’s renowned lyricism. The song tells the poignant story of a person reflecting on a past relationship, grappling with their mistakes and the inability to fully comprehend their partner’s love. The lyrics and production, crafted by both Jain and Dhillon, evoke heartbreak and longing, illustrating the irreversible nature of time. Through its soulful verses, "Afsos"captures the narrator’s profound sorrow, leaving them to navigate solitude and regret.

Sharing his thoughts on this track, Anuv Jain says, “‘Afsos’ is my first music collaboration and working on it has been such a crazy but memorable experience! It’s been a while since I last sat down to write a song in Punjabi. It was quite a lot of fun, even if I was constantly asking the people around me to check if a sentence made sense. I’m so glad my mom was sitting and working on it with me.

Once AP got on board with the song and added his verse, it just went to the next level. I’m so pumped that my first collaboration ever is with such an incredible artist. I really hope everybody loves the song like I do.”

Expressing his excitement about this release, Dhillon shares, “I am thrilled to be collaborating with Anuv on ‘Afsos’. I’m so glad we were able to connect and create this beautiful track together. The song represents a soundscape I’ve been wanting to share with my fans, and I’m excited to experiment musically alongside one of India’s biggest music artists. I am so happy that Anuv is singing in Punjabi again; his voice adds so much soul to the track. It was great to share the stage and perform the song live in Chandigarh with him and I hope to be back soon to recreate that moment and for everyone to experience ‘Afsos’ – it’s truly special!”

Over the years, Anuv Jain has established himself as a musical powerhouse with achievements that underscore his influence and talent. His breakout single, "Baarishein," which has surpassed 1 billion streams across all platforms, set the foundation for a career defined by lyrical depth and melodic resonance. Jain’schart-topping success continued with hits like "Husn" and "Jo Tum Mere Ho"; each having over 500 million streams, topping Viral and Top Songs charts globally across Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, and JioSaavn (#1 in India, Pakistan, UAE, and Maldives). With over 1.5 billion Spotify streams and over 19 million monthly listeners, Jain’s music continues to bridge cultural and emotional divides.

Beyond his musical achievements, Jain has been recognized for his cultural impact. Named in Forbes India’s "30 Under 30" and GQ India’s "35 Most Influential Young

Indians," Jain has earned accolades for his cultural contributions. His performances include opening for Post Malone at the Feeding India Zomato concert and headlining sold-out tours across India. In April 2024, he was chosen as one of the select artists for UN LIVE’s Sounds Right campaign, showcasing his commitment to environmental conservation. 2024 was a landmark year for Anuv. After his "Guldasta" Tour across India, selling 35000 tickets in 10 cities, he took his touring journey global by playing sold out shows across 5 cities in Australia, Auckland NZ, 2 sold out shows in London, Dublin, and Manchester, Kathmandu Nepal and Dubai.

AP Dhillon has redefined Punjabi and Desi pop music on a global scale. Known for his breakthrough hit "Brown Munde," Dhillon’s career highlights include being the first Punjabi artist to perform at the Juno Awards in 2023 and Coachella in 2024. With over 3.49 billion total Spotify streams, Dhillon’s music resonates with millions worldwide. His 2023 Amazon documentary, "AP Dhillon: First of a Kind," chronicles his journey from Punjab to global stardom, further cementing his legacy as a transformative figure in music.

The track delves deep into themes of fear and inner turmoil, with founding member Janne Markus commenting, "The song is about the endless struggle with one's own fears. Seers, who live in all of us. A seer, who draws his strength from the prevailing negativity."

The band adds: "We can’t wait to be able to finally share this first song with everyone, and fairly soon the whole album! 'Seer' is a direct, heavy, even angry song at the beginning of a new, just like the band itself at this point!"

The song is released alongside a brand new music video directed by Petri Marttinen and Kore Creative, which you can watch below:

with all their favorite art, movies, ethnic background and life

The doll within is dark, she embraces her inner darkness and travels with her demons who protect her from the ones who seek to take her inner power. She is the key.

ABOUT THE HELLACOPTERS

Less than three years after their triumphant, chart-storming comeback record, Eyes Of Oblivion, which entered at #1 in their home country, at #3 in Germany, and on #6 in Finland, Sweden's most consistently great rock outfit is back with another banger of an album called Overdriver, due out on January 31st, 2025.

In the meantime, THE HELLACOPTERS have celebrated their triumphant return by playing a show with the mighty Iron Maiden in Gothenburg in July 2022, and gigs with Ghost in Germany in June 2023, apart from their own string of headline shows throughout Europe. Eager to keep the rock flowing, February 16th, 2024 saw THE HELLACOPTERS release not one, but two stunning versions of their classic Grande Rock album, which was originally released in 1999. Grande Rock Revisited included a remastered original version and a remixed and partially re-recorded version as a companion piece, showing how the album could have sounded in a parallel universe with guitarist Dregen being in the band at the time. After making rock grande again, the group set sights on new material, debuting the phenomenal single 'Stay With You'  in May 2024 and releasing it as a limited 7inch via Lightning Records.

Their ninth full-length Overdriver was recorded at Strawberry Studio & The Honk Palace and is the first HELLACOPTERS album entirely produced by Nicke Andersson. As you might expect from a HELLACOPTERS album it's filled to the brim with roaring guitars and earth-shattering grooves, fist-raising energy, and anthemic choruses, while keeping the variety richer than ever before. The striking cover for Overdriver was created by German illustrator Max Löffler.

Swedish Retro Rockers SPIDERS Release New Single "Mess With My Emotions" + Music Video

The wait is almost over. Swedish retro rock sensation SPIDERS are back with a bang, releasing their latest single, "Mess With My Emotions", as the final teaser before their highly anticipated new album, 'Sharp Objects', sees the light of day on February 14th via Wild Kingdom/Sound Pollution. In addition, the single arrives with an eye-catching music video that matches the track's intensity, available to view below.

True to the band’s signature style, "Mess With My Emotions" fuses nostalgic seventies vibes with a fresh, modern edge. The track showcases an electric interplay between John Hoyles' masterful guitar work and the powerhouse vocals of Ann-Sofie Hoyles. Together, they create a sound that’s both deeply rooted in classic rock and unmistakably relevant for today’s music scene. 

Hoyles shares her thoughts on the single:

“Our time is precious, our emotions are sacred, and there's a fine line between happiness and madness. No one is a total master of their own universe, so take care of your own mind and thoughts, and don't mess up anybody's emotions.”

Watch the Video for "Mess With My Emotions" Below.

"Mess With My Emotions" is now available on all major streaming platforms. Mark your calendars for the release of 'Sharp Objects' on February 14th, and prepare to experience SPIDERS like never before!

UK electronic duo Dragon Welding shares 'We Dance Among You', an uptempo tale of planetary decline

UK electronic-synthpop duo Dragon Welding presents their latest single 'We Dance Among You', the second offering from their forthcoming album 'The Naughty Step', out February 28 via Dimple Discs. 

Dragon Welding is an anagram of Andrew Golding, perhaps best known as co-founder and guitarist of Essex-based indie noise-pop legends The Wolfhounds. He shares, "The theme here is how climate change denial has elevated ignorance to ridiculous levels. ‘Drill Baby, Drill’. The next generations of people will look back at our generation in absolute horror. It’s about those hiding amongst us in plain sight. Profit over the planet every time with a complete disregard for the next generations...

We have failed to engage society
Leaving clues for the future to guess
Agendas built on real anxieties
Elvis left the building in a terrible mess

This insanity is perfectly captured in a dynamic 'stop-start' animation, created by award- winning graphic artist Andy Royston, who also designed the album's cover.

For this album, Golding is joined by vocalist Nik Cockshott (formerly of leftfield indie rockers The Spores and The Keatons). In late 2024, the duo shared the album's first single ‘Up And Away’, a clarion call to a dozing generation, released as a 3-track offering. Initially joining Golding for a one-off show in 2023, Cockshott and Golding soon began working together on new material, resulting in the 2024 single 'These Are Dangerous Times', a radical electronic reworking of Dragon Welding's debut release five years prior, essentially marking Dragon Welding's rebirth as a group.

After debuting in 2019 with a well-received eclectic eponymous album, Dragon Welding released the all-instrumental 'Lights Behind The Eyes’ (2021) and then ‘Fictionary’ (2023), which featured guest appearances by Anthony Chapman of Collapsed Lung and Alice Golding of The Othyrs.

With a consistent voice, a solid focus on idiosyncratic and, at times, dark electronic backing, augmented by an increasing plethora of obtuse instrumentation, unpretentious ecologically and socially-relevant lyrics, this incarnation of Dragon Welding is ready to present their new material. The new album continues DW's tradition of blending clever guitar with mischievous sonic and rhythmic manipulations.

“Dragon Welding is very much about following the noise and seeing where it goes. We never deliberately set out to create a particular sound but, for these songs, I was trying to ensure that my contributions on guitar were overlaid onto the sparsity of the sound. I deliberately left gaps in the canvas to fill out later once the music had dried," says Andrew Golding.

"It is an expansion of the Dragon Welding sound of the previous albums. Having Nik sing on all the tracks gave me an impetus to focus on the lyrics and music, letting him interpret them in his own way. It’s very much ‘80s electronica meets glam rock via paranoia.”

'We Dance Among You' is out now via Bandcamp.  'The Naughty Step' album, set for release on February 28, is now available for pre-order. Vinyl and CDs will be available from Rough Trade, Amazon and Resident Records.

On March 1, Dragon Welding's album launch show will take place at Betsey Trotwood in London, along with krautrock-folkrock outfit (and label-mates) The Othyrs.

Floya Share Video For New Single - "CLOUD9"

Following the debut album Yume, FLOYA embark on one final journey through the dreamlike world they've crafted — before setting course for new sonic frontiers.

"CLOUD9" is the explosive send-off, an adrenaline-fueled fusion of rock, hyperpop, and drum and bass/jungle that pushes the band's dynamic range to new heights.

Driven by pulsating electronic beats, "CLOUD9" bridges the ethereal soundscapes of Yume with the raw intensity of what's to come. Lyrically, the song is a moment of clarity—"I see you, I know who you are, but you’re not even in my orbit anymore." It's a euphoric rush— both a celebration and a transition — announcing a more grounded chapter in FLOYA's evolution.

The music video, filmed in Tokyo and Osaka, captures this shift. Neon-lit streets and vast cityscapes provide the perfect setting for a track that’s all about moving forward without looking back.

Watch the video Below.

To coincide with the announcement, the band have released the video for their caustic new single "Depraved Idol."

Watch the video below.

On their new EP, the band comments, "We're incredibly proud of this EP and we're thrilled for people to finally hear it. As a comeback effort, we felt it was important to do things differently, so we deliberately avoided lengthy pre-production and allowed small variations in the recordings to embrace the mess and chaos that sit at the heart of our sound. We wanted to create something more refined and savage than anything we've previously attempted."
 
God Complex continue, "The metaphor most people use to describe rebirth is the phoenix or a change of seasons but a more accurate image for this EP is a cornered animal. Something a bit feral with its drive to sustain itself untethered from restraint."

In regards to "Depraved Idol," the band states, "The title of the first single ('Salt and Ash') evokes what is left behind when everything has been destroyed — but we were also interested in exploring rebirth imagery in the idol of The Green Man. He's almost never depicted as a god demanding sacrifice, so our imagining is one where the renewal he symbolizes can only be attained through suffering and loss — a 'Depraved Idol.'"

EPICA Announce New Album "Aspiral" + Share Video For New Single "Cross The Divide"

Symphonic metal titans EPICA are excited to announce that their ninth studio album Aspiral, out on April 11. 

The album title is derived from the eponymous bronze sculpture made by Polish sculptor and painter Stanisław Szukalski back in 1965 and stands for renewal and inspiration — key words that define Epica in 2025. In Szukalski's work, every detail is a piece of art on its own and there's always more to the story than you initially think. The band saw this as the perfect analogy for the creation of this ninth album: Each song stands on its own with a distinctive vibe and meaning, while together they enforce each other into a monumental effort. 

The album, featuring stunning cover artwork by Hedi Xandt (Rammstein, Ghost, Parkway Drive), is now available for pre-order in the below mentioned formats. The special editions even include the BluRay and audio recordings of the full monumental "Symphonic Synergy" performance in Amsterdam that the band recorded in 2024, with an orchestra and choir.

Recorded once again at Sandlane Studios and expertly mixed and produced by Joost van den Broek, Aspiral boasts 11 new tracks.

If you want to get another appetizer of the new tracks, you can check out the band's music video for the up-tempo anthem "Cross The Divide," directed by Kunststoff below.
