The Paranoyds are back with LATE NIGHTER

“We didn’t know it at the time, but it all started with a vanity plate: L8 NYTR,” say The Paranoyds. “Then there was the tour with the Kills, the two most genuine people and authentic rockers we might have ever crossed paths with. We spent most of August going to Jamie’s home studio with the goal of writing a song a day. We eventually recorded our demos with him later that November. daylight savings comes in, and it gets dark so early--perhaps the depth and grit that our summertime demos needed? We would leave the sessions and come back the next day to find that Jamie had worked total studio magic on the tracks after we left. he was our late nighter, el capitán, guiding everything to exactly where it needed to be.”

Cryptopsy Performing at Billy Strings’ Ionia Freak Fair

Fresh off crushing cities across North America during their headline run on this year’s Decibel Magazine Tour, Cryptopsy remain insatiable as ever. The Montreal legends’ latest album, An Insatiable Violence, received their second nomination for Best Metal/Hard Music Album at this year’s JUNO Awards, a category they won two years ago. Now, ahead of their summer European headline tour, they are revealing a freakish surprise that shows once more why they are the most vile band in death metal.

Today, Cryptopsy are announcing that they are performing later this summer at Billy Strings’ annual Ionia Freak Fair. The band will headline The Pyramid Scheme Pinball & Metal Tent on Saturday, August 29. The news arrives almost a year since they collaborated with the Grammy Award-winning bluegrass star on “Blasphemy Made Fresh”.

“We’re incredibly grateful and honored to be part of something as unique as the Ionia Freak Fair”, Cryptopsy says. “Music has always been about breaking boundaries. We can’t wait to bring something heavy to this year’s festival. Who knows, maybe Billy will even stop by for a song…”

Cryptopsy recognize that not every death metal band sticks around long enough to win a Canadian Grammy 30 years into their career. The cover art for An Insatiable Violence was created by the late, great vocalist Martin Lacroix.  "The album artwork has got to be one of the most important things to us!”, the band says. “Martin Lacroix was one of our vocalists, one of our great friends and one of the nicest people that anyone could have the privilege to meet. We really wish he was here with us to share this moment. His perfect smile would say it all! Rest in peace brother".

With Cryptopsy’s latest career renaissance showing no signs of slowing down, the recent accolades are only the beginning. An Insatiable Violence reaches a new peak in a career loaded with them.

Loveless & Company Confront Emotional Exhaustion with Powerful New Single "I'm Done"

There comes a moment when pretending everything is okay is no longer an option.

For LOVELESS & COMPANY, that moment arrives with the release of their emotionally gripping new single, "I'm Done."Blending soaring melodies, raw rock energy, and deeply personal lyricism, the band delivers a song that speaks to anyone who has ever carried invisible burdens while trying to convince the world they were fine.

"I'm Done" isn't about giving up.It's about reaching a breaking point where honesty becomes the only path forward.

Fueled by dynamic instrumentation and a vocal performance that balances vulnerability with unwavering conviction, the track captures the emotional weight of burnout, isolation, and the relentless pressure to keep moving forward when life refuses to let up.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Aaron Loveless explains the heart behind the song:

"I'm Done" is about carrying the world on your shoulders for so long that it stops feeling temporary and starts feeling permanent. Life gets heavy, and you keep pushing through it anyway, because you don't have the luxury of quitting. No matter where you go, there you are just you and the truth and in that moment the mask falls. You've reached the end of the rope. You don't negotiate with it. It's been trapped under your ribs until it finally rips out of your chest, screaming, 'I'm Done.'"

That emotional honesty is exactly what makes "I'm Done"resonate so deeply. Rather than relying on clichés or manufactured angst, LOVELESS & COMPANY confront the realities of emotional fatigue with sincerity, crafting a song that feels deeply personal while remaining

universally relatable.

Musically, the band strikes a compelling balance between heavy, emotionally charged rock and memorable melodic hooks. Driving guitars, thunderous rhythms, and cinematic dynamics create a soundscape that mirrors the song's emotional arc building tension before erupting into an unforgettable chorus that refuses to let go.

The result is a track that doesn't simply ask listeners to hear it, it invites them to feel every word. In an era where many people quietly battle anxiety, burnout, depression, and the overwhelming demands of everyday life, "I'm Done" serves as both a cathartic release and a reminder that vulnerability is not weakness. Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is admit they've reached their limit.

With "I'm Done," LOVELESS & COMPANY continue establishing themselves as a band unafraid to tackle difficult emotions through authentic songwriting and powerful musicianship. Their ability to transform deeply personal experiences into anthems of resilience positions them as one of the most emotionally compelling voices

in modern rock.

ABOUT LOVELESS & COMPANY:

Loveless & Company is an Arizona based outlaw rock band known for blending southern rock, country western swagger, and raw rock and roll energy. Characterized by fierce live theatrics and gritty anthems, the group is led by frontman and guitarist Aaron Loveless alongside drummer and producer Mikey Loveless, guitarist Billy Loveless & bassist Wayne Loveless.

Melodic Death Metal Ensemble FALSIMONIAN Reveal New Single "Limitless"

Delve into the chaos of the cosmos with "Limitless", the new single release from the US and Mexico based melodic death metal band FALSIMONIAN. The quartet's dynamic heavy sound is influenced by Mexican folk and Latin-American roots music, as well as progressive elements and jazz. FALSIMONIAN's forthcoming EP For Survival is set to arrive independently on November 7, 2026.

Drawing inspiration from concepts such as autotheism, the big bang, and relativity, the band takes a more abstract approach with their lyrics in "Limitless". The track's narrative is positioned from the perspective of a celestial being, leaning into the cosmic horror realm, which is a personified form of the universe.

A chaotic mood emerges from "Limitless" which begins with an onslaught of sharp and aggressive rhythmic stabs. The violent intensity creates a sense of disturbance and discomfort. Stylistically, "Limitless" is rooted in melodic death metal though progressive sections and groove passages are incorporated across the track. This song also features the first guitar solo heard by Cesar Robles on the upcoming EP in a display that is initially melodic before developing into intricate, technical shredding. 

Presented through the lens of a fictional, dystopian world, the EP considers the everyday impact onto individuals who are living under the threat and fear of a world-ending catastrophe. "Limitless" is a key moment for the narrative's protagonist in which, through a moment of introspection, they decide to take action against the imposing darkness. 

For Survival was produced by Jesus Fuentes Valverde, with mixing and mastering by Gil Andrade. Drums engineering was undertaken by Ruben Sanchez at Urvn Studios, with guitars and keyboards recorded by Jesus Fuentes Valverde and vocals recorded by Erick Valverde. Guitar and vocal editing, and bass programming, was by Jesus Fuentes Valverde. Additional guitars on "Limitless", "Judgment" and "For Survival" were recorded and edited by Cesar Robles. 

All artwork photography for the EP and single releases are from X-Rays Erick Valverde has taken over the last 10 years. The artworks utilize original photographs of a colorful sunset as the light source behind the X-Rays. These colors are commonly seen in the desert skies of the US/Mexico border. Ariadne Willis, adjusted the photographs for the layout and design of the EP and single covers. Erick's accidents and health struggles have also indirectly influenced the overall theme of the EP. Additional photography by Rancho Creativo Studios. 

About FALSIMONIAN:

Rooted in melodic death metal, FALSIMONIAN began as the brainchild of Jesus Fuentes and Erick Valverde in 2024, who welcomed Cesar and Mauricio in 2025 completing the band's line-up. Their sound is unique to the members' life experiences as bi-cultural individuals hailing from the harsh desert in the US-Mexico border. 

With members based out of El Paso, Texas, USA; Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, USA; and Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico, FALSIMONIAN incorporate genre influences from Mexican folk and Latin-American roots music, as well as jazz. Musically, the band draw inspiration from metal acts including OPETH, DARK TRANQUILLITY, DREAM THEATER, CHILDREN OF BODOM, and BORN OF OSIRIS. 

FALSIMONIAN take their name from the Latin word "falsimonia", meaning: trick, imposition, deception. Situated in a fictitious dystopian world, the forthcoming EP explores the mundane daily realities of survival in the midst of dark times of war, hate and manipulation. For Survival arrives on November 7, 2026.

THE NOCTAMBULANT Release Video For “Skeleton Key”, New Album Revival Out September

Following their recent signing to Terminus Hate City, THE NOCTAMBULANT reveal the next few pages of this Southern Gothic chapter. Steeped in the traditions of Blues, Rockabilly, Goth rock and American Country, THE NOCTAMBULANT embrace this aesthetic and sonic niche while maintaining their signature black metal sound. THE NOCTAMBULANT will release their forthcoming full length album Revival on September 18, via Terminus Hate City. 

On the new single "Skeleton Key" THE NOCTAMBULANT share,
"this track captures the desire to achieve salvation and transcendence—by any means necessary. It tells the story of using one body to reach immortality in another. The weakness of the flesh must be overcome in the pursuit of something greater."

"Skeleton Key" unleashes a dire savagery through a blackened haze. It foreboding onslaught marches steadily onward as weighted rhythmic strikes soon erupt into a fury of high-speed intensity. As the darkness consumes, the inevitable end is inescapable. 

Recorded at Tri-Rush Studios, Revival was engineered and produced by E. Helvete and D. Franseth. The album was mixed and mastered by Daniel Thabet at Liquid Studios, with the cover art designed by Dream Creatures. 

About THE NOCTAMBULANT:

In 2013, THE NOCTAMBULANT formed in Jacksonville, Florida, with a mission to spread the culture of Southern Appalachia through their unique interpretation of black metal. Merging the genre’s primal aggression with the crushing weight of blackened death metal and the haunting atmospherics of Southern Gothic, they sought to honor the myths, spirits, and eerie folklore of the region.

Founded by E. Helvete (Guitars, Vocals) and D. Franseth (Drums) following the breakup of their psychobilly band, THE NOCTAMBULANT emerged as they delved into the darker realms of black metal. With the addition of Lars Goerschafft (Bass) and, later, Rev Beaumont (Guitar), the band fully embraced a sound that merges relentless intensity with ghostly Appalachian storytelling, crafting an auditory spell of sorrow, brutality, and mysticism.

Their music weaves a sonic tapestry of feral blackened riffs, ominous melodies, and immersive soundscapes steeped in spectral Appalachian lore. Drawing inspiration from metal legends such as VENOM, CELTIC FROST, BATHORY, and DARK FUNERAL, THE NOCTAMBULANT channels both ferocity and haunting atmosphere, merging the unrelenting force of extreme metal with the ghostly echoes of ancient myths and the desolation of the Southern Gothic landscape. Their next album is set to emerge in 2026.


THE NOCTAMBULANT is:

E. Helvete - Guitars/Vocals
D. Franseth - Drums
Lars G - Bass
Rev. Beaumont - Lead Guitar

Kenny Chesney Takes You to "Silver Sands Marina" in Video Out Today

In a world of singles and tracks, it’s easy to forget the power of a song that delivers not just the smallest details, but the emotional tidal waves that exist long after a moment has faded. For Kenny Chesney, who announced his 21st album and second teaser with the title track to Silver Sands Marina, the sweeping midtempo so completely painted the place and sensations, there was only one thing to do: make a video.
 
“When you hear the song, it’s so perfectly drawn, you almost can’t believe it’s real,” the man Wall Street Journal called “The King of the Road” says. “But, of course, it is a real place – located on Lake Winnipesaukee – where generations of families and friends have tied up their boats, checked in, enjoyed the water and being together. You can feel all the happiness and fun people have had there the moment you step on the property.”
 
Ablaze with curiosity, Chesney wanted to see what inspired the song’s ability to hold such subtly indelible feelings. Realizing it was a family owned business, the 2025 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee decided to – almost in keeping with the song’s off-season storyline – check-in, and create a video that instills hyper-local, off-the-beaten-path places with an innocence and charm that transcends the bigger, slicker reality of today’s escapes.
 
Filming on a grey day shortly after recording the title track of his Sept. 25 release, Chesney is seen in single performance pieces around the pier, the motel and marina’s property. Filming outside the traditional tourist seasons, the Silver Sands Marina delivers that anticipatory tension that it isn’t abandoned, but waiting on something – and Chesney’s to-the-camera vocals and guitar-playing suggest a witness to all that has happened there.

“Like the song, there’s a sense this place can’t be real,” Chesney says. “When you pull up, it’s even more wonderful than the pictures. You can feel people’s lives have played out here; kids who’ve met, grown up together, occasionally gotten married and brought their kids there; fishing trips and reunions. And, as my song suggests, the occasionally unexpected encounter where you meet someone who sees you for all that you are – even if it’s only for a moment.”
 
Working with longtime collaborator Shaun Silva, Chesney fashions a clip that surrenders expectations for a full immersion in the moment. Those downstrokes on his acoustic guitar an extension of the passion; his vocals transporting himself – and the viewer – to a memory that retains all of its vibrance. Whether an empty pool waiting for summer, knotty pine wood and tired pink paint, or lake water rippling, the clip offers a real-world escape from the mundane.
 
So taken with the setting, Chesney and photographer Allister Ann documented the day turning to night. Whether portraits of the East Tennessee songwriter/superstar or almost portraits of the setting itself, the photographs delivered a different feel for the stadium-sized headliner. They also suggest the emotional depth beneath the album’s feel-good moments and simple wisdom.
 
Built around a memory that will last a lifetime, the song and video suggest escape is as much a state of mind as it is the rainy afternoon, 20-dollar blinds, pink painted walls, wet sand, bicycles propped up, a sky that’s red, orange and blue and a mug stolen as a talisman of the encounter.
 
Like “Carry On,” which closed out the entire country radio reporting panel in its first week, “Silver Sands Marina” provides a new way of looking at something pretty common. But in that truth that exists right where you are, there’s also the freedom of knowing magic has a way of arriving in unlikely places.
 
“When the song came in, it took me some place,” Chesney marvels. “But it also said a lot of things about where we can find real fulfillment. For me, the more I listened, the more I knew I had to see this place… And once I did, I knew I had to show it to all the people like me, who dream of freedom and escape, but who also know showing up is the spark that makes it happen.”

FRANK RAY RELEASES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED NEW EP, GOOD FOR THE SOUL

Today, country artist Frank Ray released his brand-new EP Good For The Soul via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Produced by Seth Mosley and Michael “X” O’Connor, the five-song collection showcases Ray’s signature blend of heartfelt storytelling and modern country sound. Listen HERE.

“I’m so excited for everyone to hear my new EP, Good For The Soul. This project is a direct reflection of both my love for ’90s country music and where my life is at right now. Every song tells a piece of that story. I’m incredibly grateful to my amazing collaborators and producers whose creativity and support helped bring this project to life,” says Ray.

Ray’s latest EP blends modern country energy with the timeless charm of classic honky-tonk. Featuring nostalgic romance and barn burner vibes, the collection is a direct reflection of his faith journey, the reality of watching his kids grow up, and what it means to keep falling in love with his wife through every season. With two tracks co-written by Ray and a special appearance from country star Tracy Lawrence on the title track, Good For The Soul captures the authentic sound that first inspired him as an artist.

The lead song, “Third Row George Strait” was written by acclaimed Nashville songwriters Ben Hayslip, Dan Isbell and Ben Stennis, and previously released on May 1st, paying tribute to country legend George Strait with a catchy melody and fresh up-tempo energy.

Fans will be able to see Ray perform at the Grand Ole Opry on July 4th as the Opry celebrates America's 250th. Tickets are available HERE.

About Frank Ray
Blessed with a smooth country vocal, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville artist Frank Ray is a long road singer-songwriter who built his career on medicinal-strength performances, making the world a slightly-happier place, one night at a time. But with a new understanding of his “duty,” the hit-making former police officer has gone back to his roots. Growing up amid the intense collision of cultures in border towns Laredo, Texas and Columbus, New Mexico, everything from Tracy Lawrence and Rascal Flatts to Tejano, Ranchera, and Norteño music formed his musical foundation, with service in his blood. Spending 10 years as a law enforcement officer in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Ray wrote tickets by day and worked honky tonks by night, until a battle of the bands scored him a gig opening for Keith Urban. A bright fusion of organic honky-tonk pop and smooth Latin twang led to two Texas radio #1s, while the R&B-inflected “Country’d Look Good on You” reached the Top 20 of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart in 2022. Ray’s good-time credentials were solidified on nationwide tours with Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Luke Bryan, and more, and he was hailed by TIME Magazine, Good Morning America, Rolling Stone, Country Radio Seminar, Pandora, Amazon Music, and beyond. A 2023 album debut played up his vibrant Tex-Mex flavor. But on the new EP, Good For The Soul, sunny honky-tonk tones from the ‘90s and 2000s combine with epic balladry and mood-boosting vocals, in a sonic prescription for the good life.

Savage Hands Bleed Honesty On Their Most Compelling Single Yet "It's Me"

Maryland's unflinching alt-metal catalysts, Savage Hands, are hitting their stride with this latest run of massive singles and their newest track, "It's Me", out now via Oxide Music. Without sacrificing an ounce of their metalcore bite, the band lean into a glossier, hook-driven sound on "It's Me" that doesn't shy away from a pop sensibility. Fans can listen to "It's Me" BELOW.

Touching on a devastation and the agony from knowing your own patterns well enough to fear them, "It's Me" traces the loop of addiction and avoidance while digging into the wreckage of self-destruction. Coming from the perspective of desperation to protect the person they love the most, Savage Hands turn the lens entirely inward, flinching to find the problem staring back at them in the mirror.

Additionally, this summer, Savage Hands will be embarking on The Art Of Love And Power Tour alongside Of Virtue for one of the most unmissable heavy tours of the year. The tour will see both bands trading headlining slots each night, giving fans two high caliber sets under one roof. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

Speaking to the fear and honest woven into "It's Me", vocalist Mike Garrow shares:

"Coming from a family of divorce, I was forced to see failure with love at a young age. I think that’s where the trouble stems from and I wanted to capture that essence of being scared to try. A lot of people may experience a relationship when it’s going great and there’s only 2 ways to go from there…forever or it doesn’t work out. This is from that in-between point where you have to put 2 feet in or get out. Trying to trust in everything you’re afraid of while putting it all out there is really hard to do, but 100% necessary when you know you’ve found the one."

Guided early on by multi-platinum producers Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Sleeping With Sirens, etc) and Lee Rouse (The Funeral Portrait, Teddy Swims, etc), Savage Hands have sharpened their craft into a volatile blend of ominous atmosphere, sledgehammer riffs, and skyscraping choruses. A hybrid sound that dissolves the lines between post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative rock, all while hitting with precision and purpose.

Propelled by the success of previous singles, "Demon", "Washed Away", and "Halo", the quintet have been in constant forward motion since their 2018 debut, amassing over 55 million streams along the way. From steely Maryland roots to festival stages, Savage Hands' relentless drive has shaped a previous that thrives on the collision of chaos and catharsis bleeding into one another. With their latest releases, "Feel Me", "POWER", "Trust Issues", "Reload Repeat", and "Trace Erase", Savage Hands are opening the door to a new chapter, one that's heavier, sharper and more unapologetic than anything that's come before.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Savage Hands news coming very soon.

ABOUT SAVAGE HANDS

After their breakout tracks “Demon”, “Washed Away”, and “Love No More”; Savage Handscemented themselves as leaders in a new, modern rock sound. The band’s ability to balance heavy instrumentation with memorable hooks and raw vocal delivery catapulted their 2020 album “The Truth In Your Eyes” beyond 45 million streams, underscoring the band’s growing global reach. Beyond streaming, Savage Hands dropped two limited vinyl variants which immediately sold out due to large demand.

Like many artists, the global pandemic foiled and unwound plans that were years in the making for Savage Hands. Despite this, the band remained active in touring, supporting acts like Magnolia Park, Wage War, and While She Sleeps; as well as co-headlining with fellow up-and-comers Archers. Savage Hands made their debut DWP festival appearance at Louder Than Life in 2025, marking the Bourbon stage’s largest crowd of the day.

Savage Hands parted ways with Sharptone Records in 2025 and promptly began working on assembling a new album. Joining forces with Oxide Records, the band is preparing to launch a non-stop wave of campaigns starting May 2026.

“We are excited to finally close the chapter on all of the uncertainty the pandemic forced into our career. This album has been a long time coming, and we are so extremely grateful for Wetzel and Anthony at Oxide Records for believing in us and pushing us to become the band we were always meant to be.” - Mike Garrow

DEAD/ASLEEP Unleash Crushing New Single "Victimless" – A Powerful Statement from Rock and Metal's Newest Supergroup

"Victimless" is a cautionary tale of the many possible perils of immersing one’s self in sympathetic introspection and/or the lengths one may go to in order to justify karmic debt accrual. Part defiance. Part guilt. The paradox of straddling the line between ignorance and self awareness. Half awake or half dead? #sleepwalkyolowithorwithoutconscience

Some collaborations are born from opportunity. Others are forged through experience. DEAD/ASLEEP is the latter.

Comprised of members from Drowning Pool, Fire From The Gods, Flyleaf, Live, and Crobot, DEAD/ASLEEP arrives with a sound that refuses to fit neatly into a single genre. Fusing crushing grooves, atmospheric heaviness, emotionally charged melodies, and deeply introspective lyricism, the band delivers modern heavy rock and metal that is both sonically punishing and emotionally resonant.

Their debut release, "Victimless," introduces listeners to a band unafraid to confront uncomfortable truths. Driven by massive riffs, haunting textures, and an undeniable sense of urgency, "Victimless" examines the dangerous cycle of self justification, guilt, and personal accountability.

ABOUT DEAD/ASLEEP:

DEAD/ASLEEP is a heavy rock/metal band featuring members from Drowning Pool, Fire From The Gods, Flyleaf, Live, and Crobot. Combining crushing grooves, massive hooks, and darker emotional themes, the band’s debut singles “Better Off Dead” and “Victimless” explore paranoia, identity, and survival through a raw, atmospheric sound built for fans of emotionally charged heavy music.

SOURCE Release Cover Of RADIOHEAD's "Optimistic"

Rooted in heavy psychedelic prog rock, dynamic and introspective trio SOURCE present the new single "Optimistic". In their take on RADIOHEAD's track, SOURCE demonstrate their compositional style with a modern sound that carries depth through intentional instrumental layers. 

On the new release the band shares,
"When we decided to cover 'Optimistic' we really wanted to showcase our love for the song while bringing our own voice to the arrangement. I think our version has a lot of similar ingredients, but the way we choose to highlight those ingredients really displays our unique approach and sound. The tones are much heavier, the tempo is faster so it feels like there's more energy, and the way we flip the ending into a heavy riff is my favorite part of our version."

While honoring the dark mood and atmosphere of the original, SOURCE bring an assortment of brighter and more distinctive textures into their design. The band's use of enhanced contrasts from the grounding bass lines to melodic vocals and heavy distortion to subtle backing harmonies, leads to striking full-bodied sonic impact.  

About SOURCE:
Based out of Boulder, Colorado, SOURCE was originally formed in 2014 by Benjamin Gleason, Dan Crisafulli, and Georges Bou Serhal. With founding member Benjamin Gleason now joined by Justin Mirarack on drums and percussion and Pascal Faurie on bass, the trio craft immersive music inspired by their own introspection and transformative practices. 

While SOURCE explore self awareness, healing and personal evolution through their lyrics, musically they situate themselves in the realms of heavy psychedelic prog rock. Instrumental layers, powerful and emotive harmonies and a wide range of dynamics leads to a sound that is melodic with an enveloping feel. 

The band's first album Return To Nothing released in 2016 via Pavement Entertainment and that same year saw the band embark on the Forged in Fire Tour opening for HELLYEAH, IN FLAMES, and FROM ASHES TO NEW. Totality arrived in 2019 through Pavement Entertainment, followed by independently released albums Ethereal Self in 2021 and Emergence in 2023.

SOURCE's interpretation of RADIOHEAD's "Optimistic" lands ahead of their forthcoming fifth full-length album.

Devil Metal Quartet NUNSLAUGHTER Releases New Album 'Satanic Chaos Legions' — Out Now via BLKIIBLK

Today, Cleveland’s unholy denizens of the underground, NUNSLAUGHTER, proudly unleash their new album, 'Satanic Chaos Legions,' out now via BLKIIBLK. To mark the occasion, the band also shares their new single, "Unsacrament," alongside an official music video.

On the new track, vocalist Don of the Dead comments:

"'Unsacrament' is a declaration of war from the grave. Dragging the rotting corpse of faith through the mire of humanity. Ready to be unbaptized with the flesh of a dying god. This is our anti-gospel."

Check Out the Official Video for "Unsacrament" Below:

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

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

On the new album, Don of the Dead shares:

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

The PWR/UP World Tour takes its name from AC/DC’s 2020 album, which reached #1 in 21 countries. It began with the band’s long-awaited return to the stage at Power Trip in California in 2023 and has since sold out dozens of stadiums across four continents. Now, as the massive tour enters its final leg, the AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up gives fans a place to gather before show day and be part of the high voltage energy surrounding the tour.

Each location will feature exclusive pop-up merchandise, AC/DC-themed food and drink, iconic props, custom visuals, interactive photo moments, ticket giveaways, PWR/UP Fan Preview events, and the opportunity to enter to win a guitar signed by Angus Young.

Each city will also offer early access to a limited quantity of the official city event shirt and poster, available at the pop-up one day before they go on sale online or at the stadium.

LOCAL VENUES, CUSTOM MENUS + CITY-SPECIFIC MOMENTS

Each AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up will be shaped by the city and venue hosting it, giving every stop its own local character while staying connected to the larger tour.

The venues were chosen as places where fans already gather, music culture lives, and each city can put its own stamp on the pop-up. Custom AC/DC-themed food and drink menus will make each location feel like a true pre-show gathering place, with select stops offering specialty menu items and custom collectible cups.

Select locations may also feature live performances from local School of Rock house bands and local radio broadcasts, adding more city-specific energy to the tour celebration.

PWR/UP FAN PREVIEW, GIVEAWAYS + FAN ACTIVATIONS

Each city will host PWR/UP Fan Preview, a special first-look event for press, media, partners, and a limited number of fans before the pop-up opens to the public.

Fans can register at pwruptour.acdc.com for the chance to attend. In each city, 100 fans will be selected by random draw to enter early alongside press and invited guests and receive a free exclusive gift created only for the preview event.

Throughout the tour, fans attending the AC/DC PWR/UP Pop Up will also have the chance to enter exclusive in-person giveaways, including concert tickets, merch prize packs, VIP bags, city event shirts, and other fan-focused prizes.

Each pop-up will feature a mock stage environment where fans can take photos with a replica Angus guitar and enter on-site for the chance to win the guitar at the end of the North American run. After traveling to each pop-up location, the guitar will be signed by Angus Young in Philadelphia and awarded to one eligible fan who entered in person.

STEVE HACKETT & STEVE ROTHERY launch ‘The Black Sea’; first track taken from their long-awaited collaborative album ‘The Roaring Waves’

Two titans of progressive music, Steve Hackett (Genesis) and Steve Rothery (Marillion), come together on ‘The Roaring Waves’ - a striking and deeply atmospheric instrumental album shaped by memory, imagination, and the elemental power of the sea. The record has been much talked about over the years, and it will now finally see the day on August 28th 2026 via InsideOutMusic. 

Years in the making, The Roaring Waves brings together seven instrumental compositions that move fluidly between the cinematic and the intimate, as Hackett explains, “It’s not the kind of album that guitarists normally make together.”

Written and recorded intermittently over nearly a decade - with sessions at Racket Club and the duo’s home studios - the album emerged from an organic, improvisational process. Jams and shared ideas form the backbone of the music, allowing both players to explore a collaborative dynamic defined by sensitivity and mutual respect. 

Throughout ‘The Roaring Waves’, the duo embrace a painterly, almost filmic approach to composition - crafting music that invites listeners to drift, imagine, and immerse themselves. “You’re trying to create an atmosphere… like painting a picture,” says Rothery. “Taking people on a journey.”

Coinciding with the announcement is the launch of the album’s first single, ‘The Black Sea’, accompanied by a stunning video featuring Hackett & Rothery performing alongside album collaborators Riccardo Romano (who also co-wrote, mixed and played keyboards & bass), & Leon Parr (drums). Watch the video, directed by Tim Sidwell, below:

Steve Rothery comments: “I think The Black Sea is the perfect introduction to the sonic world we’ve created between us. We have a very special chemistry.”

Steve Hackett adds: “For ‘The Black Sea’, our joint guitar sounds with the keys created a strong vibe of intrigue along with a sense of a musical dark sea adventure…”

The album is also available to pre-order on several formats, including a Ltd CD+Blu-ray mediabook edition including Dolby Atmos (by Andy Bradfield) & High Resolution Stereo mixes. The album will also be available as a Standard CD & a Gatefold 180g LP, cut at half-speed at Abbey Road Studios by Miles Showell. All feature artwork and layouts by Simon Ward.

Single Gun Theory / Delerium vocalist Jacqui Hunt unleashes ethereal masterpiece 'Desiderium'

Iconic Australian indie-pop singer-songwriter Jacqui Hunt has officially released her deeply anticipated "Desiderium" album with focus track "Cape of Light". Marking a profound artistic milestone, the album is a superb collection that moves through deeply personal reflections on grief, loss, healing and love. Released through her independent label QUSP alongside musical collaborator and husband Brian Conolly, "Desiderium" beautifully pairs sonically abstract, smooth synths with raw, organic pop structures—resulting in a cinematic body of work fused together by the ethereal thread of Jacqui’s poetic radiance.

Best known as the iconic vocalist and co-writer for electronic pioneers Single Gun Theory and a prominent guest vocalist for dreampop trailblazers Delerium, Hunt makes a triumphant return to center stage with this solo record. Merging elements of Kate Bush, Tori Amos, and Beth Gibbons, she describes the sonic landscape of the album as "like stepping out of your body for a while and grounding back to earth — floating on a synth wave while holding the raw reality of a simple piano. The bones that connect to the human voice like a string of air as it floats to the ether and returns to base."

Her first album in 18 years, "Desiderium" serves as both an ending and a beginning, deeply rooted in the circle of life and the passage of time. Named after the Latin noun for a profound yearning for something lost that cannot be replaced, this record reflects the emotional weight Hunt felt when unexpectedly losing both of her parents within a two-year span. With an overarching theme of longing and devotion, Hunt explores the desire to reconnect with what is now absent, delivering a poignant reminder to embrace one's authenticity and honour the "inheritance" of life.

The album's focus tracks showcase this striking versatility. "Planet" is an electro-ethereal soundscape building to a rhythmic frequency of dreamy vocals that merge into space, initially born from a poem sent by Conolly from overseas and transformed spontaneously by Hunt into a long-distance love song. Conversely, "Cycles" presents a raw, melancholic piano ballad of heartfelt simplicity. Enveloped in powerful symmetry, its music video was created by Kade Stenders, a young filmmaker whose parents (famed film director Kriv Stenders and photographer Lisa Stonham) directed several videos for Hunt's pioneering electronic band, Single Gun Theory, decades prior.

38 years after the debut of Single Gun Theory's landmark release "Exorcise This Wasteland", the band's timeless relevance was highlighted just recently when their music was featured on the Paris runway for French fashion house Chloé’s Winter 2026 parade. Hunt also achieved global recognition 29 years ago through her pivotal involvement with Delerium, collaborating as songwriter and vocalist on "Euphoria (Firefly)" for the seminal "Karma" album.

Jacqui Hunt’s stellar trajectory stands as a testament to her enduring impact across the global independent landscape. Her diverse solo and collaborative catalog includes her 2008 debut album "Auraphonic"—featuring the film-licensed track "Calisthenics" —and creative pursuits like the design duo CiiVE, alongside standout vocal contributions for Paul Mac, Vision Four 5, and David McClymont of seminal post-punk band Orange Juice.

'Desiderium' is out June 26th on CD and limited edition vinyl. Also available digitally,the album experience is complemented by the "Alice Magic (K.I.M Remix)", a re-envisioning of the original track by K.I.M (Kim Moyes) of legendary Australian electronic duo The Presets. All of this music is available across digital platforms such as Spotify and Apple Music.

Five Finger Death Punch Announce New Album "Legacy" + Release New Single "De Oppresso Liber"

Today, multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch announce their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Legacy. The digital version arrives July 31 pre-order here while the CD, vinyl, and cassette versions will land on September 18 — pre-order here.

"Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and Legacy is exactly what the title suggests," declares guitarist Zoltan Bathory. "It's a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we've experienced over the last two decades."

He furthers, "What makes that journey meaningful is that we didn't make it alone. We traveled this road alongside millions of fans around the world and somehow became part of each other's lives. That's an incredible thing to reflect on twenty years later."

Vocalist Ivan Moody continues, "At the same time, Legacy isn't about looking backward. 20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We're incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about Five Finger Death Punch while also pointing toward where we're headed next."

He finishes, "Our philosophy has always been that this journey doesn't come with a self-imposed ceiling. Every goal we've reached simply revealed another horizon beyond it. We never believed the sky was the limit; if anything, it's where the true journey begins. Here's to our shared legacy."

The brand new song "De Oppresso Liber" is out now. Listen to the song and watch the video below:

"'De Oppresso Liber' is more than just a motto," states Bathory. "It's a calling. It's a philosophy. It represents a willingness to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves. Throughout human history, there have always been people who were drawn to accept that responsibility. This song is our way of paying respect to that mindset."

The first single from the album released just last month, "Eye Of The Storm," is already Top 5 at Rock Radio this week and has already generated over 3.9 million Spotify streams and 1.6 million YouTube views on the official lyric video. Revolverhailed it as "Huge," going on to praise how "it mixes a flurry of battering metal chugs with a sense of melody, plus Ivan Moody's pensive-but-barked lyrics hinting at fears, regrets, burdens, blame, and the search for some kind of inner peace." Loudwire raved: "The song is a driving, furious banger that kicks off what's expected to be a new album cycle in grand fashion."

This summer, Five Finger Death Punch, will embark on the 1st leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour which will take them all across North America with special guest Cody Jinks, and Eva Under Fire before hitting arenas in the UK/EU with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within in early 2027.

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band's journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades.

Produced by Live Nation, the 48-city North American tour kicks off on Monday, July 20 at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, NJ, and wraps up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on Friday, October 23. 

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour's commitment to championing America's next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

The band's most current albums, Best Of – Volume 1 and Best Of – Volume 2, feature newly re-recorded versions of Five Finger Death Punch's biggest hits and are available HERE.

Miranda Lambert's CRISCO Arrives 10/2; "Till The Going's Gone" Available 6/26

Miranda Lambert has spent more than two decades building one of the most celebrated catalogs in country music by trusting her instincts. On her forthcoming album, Crisco, arriving October 2 via MCA, she does exactly that once again. From dance floors and dive bars to desert highways and kitchen-table conversations, Crisco celebrates the many worlds that have always existed within country music.
 
Produced by Lambert together with Jesse Frasure, Crisco is a vibrant, free-spirited collection that embraces every side of the artist fans have come to love: the storyteller, the wanderer, the romantic, the troublemaker, the traditionalist and the dreamer. Across 12 tracks, Lambert explores heartbreak and hope, highways and honky-tonks, rhinestones and reflection, creating a record that feels both timeless and refreshingly alive. Pre-order / pre-save HERE.
 
“I've always loved every corner of country music,” Lambert shares. “The heartbreak songs, the honky-tonk songs, the songs that make you think and the songs that make you dance. Making this record reminded me that those things don’t have to be separated. We followed the songs wherever they wanted to go, trusted our instincts and ended up with something that feels really fun and really honest to who I am.”
 
That spirit runs throughout Crisco. The album’s previously released title track nods to the long-shared connection between country music and the dance floor, while songs like “Whiskey Business,” “Cuttin’ Onions,” “Cowgirl Curtsy” and “Two Things Can Be True” showcase Lambert’s signature blend of wit, vulnerability and hard-earned wisdom.
 
Elsewhere, “Till The Going’s Gone” – arriving tomorrow, June 26, as a further preview of the album to come – captures the restless quest for freedom that has long defined her songwriting, while “To Everything” embraces uncertainty and adventure, “Sunset Marquis” drifts toward escapism and possibility and “Right Where We Left It” reflects on nostalgia and second chances.
 
From the mythic cowgirl energy of “Snakeskin Boots” to the timeless devotion of the Chris Stapleton duet “A Song To Sing” and Lambert’s take on Jim Croce’s “I’ll Have To Say I Love You In A Song,” the album finds her honoring country music’s past while remaining open to wherever curiosity and inspiration might lead.
 
Written alongside a trusted circle of longtime collaborators including Natalie Hemby, Ashley Monroe, Waylon Payne, Aaron Raitiere, Josh Osborne and more, Crisco remains rooted in the storytelling and songwriting tradition that has defined Lambert’s career. The result is an album that serves not to redefine country music but to widen its lens, showcasing an artist reconnecting with and embracing the full spectrum of sounds, stories and influences that have always existed within it.
 
CDs & vinyls, including signed options, are available to pre-order now via MCA.com and MirandaLambert.com.

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

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

KOE WETZEL TAKES THE NIGHT CHAMPION ANOTHER ROUND WITH FIVE NEW SONGS ARRIVING THIS FRIDAY, JUNE 26

Just two weeks after releasing The Night Champion, Koe Wetzel is giving fans five additional songs this Friday. Rather than making them wait months for additional music, Wetzel is rewarding listeners now with another batch of songs born from one of the most prolific creative periods of his career. If The Night Champion was the first round, these are what keep the party going long after last call.
 
“Anyone who’s followed me for a while knows I’m not very good at calling it a night,” Wetzel shares slyly. “With how much love the fans have been showing this album already – and knowing we had these additional songs we believe in just as much – we figured we’d go ahead and turn ’em loose while the night’s still young.”
 
The five-song expansion – which Wetzel first shared with loyal fans via Community messaging – features “Magnet,” “Bad Decisions,” “Ronnie Ray,” “Rolling & Smoking” and “Meet You There,” each offering another glimpse into the creative chapter that produced The Night Champion. Written and recorded alongside the album's original 11 tracks, the songs further showcase the fearless songwriting, hard-earned perspective and genre-bending approach that have earned Wetzel widespread critical acclaim.
 
“Koe Wetzel is making music you think no one makes anymore,” proclaims VICE of the project praised by the Los Angeles Times as “brawny yet soulful.” “Wetzel’s dynamic vocal is commanding…his melancholy, aching vocal giving the razor-sharp lyrics a convincing sense of hard-won weariness” adds Billboard of The New Yorker’s “hell-raising country rocker who conquered country radio,” with Rolling Stone declaring The Night Champion “a record that’s poised to really put Wetzel, the ultimate if-you-know-you-know artist, over the top.”
 
With a collaboration with Corey Kent (“Rocky Mountain Low”) sitting in the Top 10 and climbing, and his single “Hurts Like You” already charting, fans will have the chance to experience so much new music live when The Night Champion World Tour launches its U.S. and Canadian leg on July 8. Shane Smith & The Saints, Ole 60, Wyatt Flores, Corey Kent, Wade Bowen, Bayker Blankenship, Kolby Cooper and Logan Jahnke join as support in varying combinations.

About Koe Wetzel
Roughneck, rule-breaking, red-dirt rocking, Koe Wetzel forged a harder kind of country that drew on grunge, rock and Texas’s outlaw sound. Starting as a kid in a beat-up van, he rose to regional then national prominence with Rolling Stone declaring him “the ultimate if-you-know-you-know artist.” Headlining arena tours even before signing with Columbia, his raw, unabashed music that prompted the cover headline on touring bible Pollstar “Red Dirt Renegade Smashes Confines and Rocks the F out!” found even greater success in the mainstream. 4x Platinum hit “High Road,” his debut Country radio single, spent five weeks at No. 1 and became the most played record of 2025. The Night Champion, his wildly anticipated new project out now, amplifies all the pieces of Wetzel’s musical attack to deliver an album that takes 2025’s American Music Awards Favorite Rock Album and Favorite Country Song nominee to deeper places.
 
Exhaustively touring the U.S., Europe and Australia, Wetzel built a global audience, amassing over 6 billion worldwide audio streams en route to 15 RIAA certifications. Having appeared on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” “This Past Weekend with Theo Von,” covers of USA Today, the LA Times, Pollstar, Billboard and more, he kicked off 2026 playing to over 70,000 fans at the storied Houston Rodeo. His 50+ date The Night Champion World Tour sees the fever pitch growing for the Pittsburg, Texan who’s tough, tender, ready to shoot out the lights, but also willing to reckon with where he comes from.

"This new chapter is truly a dream come true. To be signed to a label I looked up to and I also looked up to the artists on it. Im excited for this journey and it’s up to the world now. Welcome to the Pact."

When asked about the inspiration behind "Tear", the band commented:

"'Tear’ lives in the space between comfort and collapse - a broken reflection of attachment, erosion, and the weight of holding on to something for too long."In other words everything you don’t need but crave."

SYMETRIA Release New Single + Lyric Video "The Game" via Curtain Call Records

Hard rock/metal band SYMETRIA have unveiled their powerful new single, "The Game," available now through Curtain Call Records, alongside an official lyric video. Recorded at SoundMine Studio in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, "The Game" was produced and mixed by acclaimed producer Dan Malsch.

 

"The Game is really about the two games of life," explains the band. "The finite game is one you can play to win, and then it's over. The infinite game is different. It's played so that existence can continue and future generations have a game left to play. If not enough people are participating in that infinite game, everything eventually falls apart, and there are no games left to play at all."

 

The accompanying lyric video brings the song's themes to life, highlighting the tension between competition, purpose, and the enduring struggle to preserve what matters beyond ourselves.

 

Symetria has hit their 10 year mark running full steam ahead with a new EP All or Nothing releasing summer of 2026 on Curtain Call Records. This marks Symetria's 3rd release, and their second with Curtain Call.  Behind that comes a support lineup that makes it hard to deny the bands presence is growing both locally and on a national scene.

 

The band will be in New Jersey on Saturday, June 27th with an appearance at The NJ Metalfest XI. A show that has itself grown to be one of the NJ underground metal scene's premier annual events. After that they make their triumphant return to Reverb in Reading PA on Saturday, July 25th as the sole local opener for this summers first leg of the Metal Church tour. 

 

A few short weeks later on Friday August 14th at the Schuylkill County Fairgrounds, Symetria is in the company of an impressive list of local and national talent selected to support the Coal Region Music Fest. This is an event put on annually to raise funds and awareness to the local veterans support agencies in the region.

 

Then comes a huge road trip out to Bloomville, Ohio, where Symetria gets to stretch their legs for the Smoking Cole's Bike Rally an 8 Day event where the band lands themselves a Saturday night slot opening for the legendary Lita Ford. After that run of 4 shows Symetria makes their first appearance in Allentown PA in 8 years at the Allentown Arts Gallery.

 

The band then wraps up it's current schedule with their 2nd straight appearance on B'N'R fest Saturday November 7th in Birdsboro PA a local Reading area music festival that brings together some of the longest running local and regional acts in the eastern PA music scene. The band has plans in the works to tour for the first time with intentions of late summer or fall of 2027.
