Gavin Adcock Releases “Having One Now,” Reveals Tracklist to THE DAY I HANG IT UP

On the heels of performing “Winner At Losing” to fete the hit TV show Landman at ACM Honors on Wednesday (Aug. 19), Gavin Adcock keeps the momentum behind his forthcoming album rolling with the release of “Having One Now,” available now. Listen Below
 
“Having One Now,” written by Adcock, Luke Laird and Rhett Akins, depicts the unexpected joy of finding love after a series of bad luck, and is the latest release hailing from Adcock’s upcoming project, The Day I Hang It Up
 
“‘Having One Now’ is an upbeat song about finding some love when you were down and out,” Adcock shares. “Last week I dropped a sad song, the week before that I dropped a song for all the blue collar people out there. So, get ready… and don’t be surprised if I drop another one next week.”
 
The Georgia native is also unveiling the 26-song tracklist to his highly-anticipated third album in three years. A co-writer on all but four songs, the project also includes collaborations with Treaty Oak Revival, ERNEST, and his previously released fan favorite, “Cheap Thrills” with Hudson Westbrook. 
 
With American Songwriter dubbing him a “modern-day outlaw…building a career reminiscent of artists like Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and more,” Adcock’s upcoming project is a continuation of the signature grit and adrenaline-fueled anthems that have garnered him over 2.4 billion career streams to-date. 
 
His previously released project, Own Worst Enemy, arrived as the top new Country album on the Billboard Top 200 Country Chart and the top streaming new album on the Billboard 200 All-Genre Chart week of release just over a year ago (August 15, 2025).
 
Own Worst Enemy boasted over 25 MILLION US streams in its first week, more than doubling the first-week numbers of Adcock’s previous album, Actin' Up Again, which was released just under a year prior (August 2, 2024).

To celebrate the album, Adcock’s headlining The Day I Hang It Up Tour is now underway with a rotating lineup of special guests including Pecos & The Rooftops, Corey Kent, Tyler Nance, Jake Worthington, The Creekers, Braxton Keith and Mack Geiger. The tour promises to deliver fans across 30 cities with a live show experience denoted by Music Row as a “rowdy, high-octane performance” which Adcock is known for.

JOHN MORGAN REMINISCES WITH NEW SINGLE "ONCE IN A MILE"

Six time #1 hitmaker John Morgan releases a new track today, “Once in a Mile.” Written by Morgan and Brent Anderson, the new song comes as Morgan’s current single “Kid Myself” is inside the Top 10 on the radio charts and climbing. Listen to “Once in a Mile” Below.

In “Once in a Mile,” Morgan turns the drive back home into an unraveling of memories - every passing mile stirring up the ghosts of a love that used to exist there. The production carries its own sense of momentum, a steady, driving pulse that mirrors the highway itself, propelling the song forward even as the lyrics pull backward into the past. Built on classic country instrumentation with a warm, nostalgic glow, the track captures that bittersweet ache of proximity: the closer you get to home, the closer you get to what you lost. Morgan's grounded, emotive vocal delivery sits at the heart of it all, turning a simple road trip into a quietly devastating meditation on memories and heartbreak.

John Morgan will be out on the road this fall.

Black Metal Kings DARK FUNERAL Release New Live Album 'A Beast To Praise' — Out Now via Century Media

Today, the Swedish kings of black metal, DARK FUNERAL, unleash their long awaited new live album, ‘A Beast To Praise,’ out now via Century Media. To celebrate the live release’s street date, the band shares a new live video for “Nail Them To The Cross (Live in Stockholm),” available below. 

Recorded at Fållan in Stockholm in 2022, 'A Beast To Praise' captures DARK FUNERAL's devastating live performance in support of their acclaimed album 'We Are The Apocalypse.'Spanning 13 tracks and nearly 70 minutes, the release showcases the band's relentless stage presence while celebrating an album that entered the charts across Europe upon it's 2022 release, including #6 in Germany, #13 in Finland, #28 in Switzerland, #29 in Austria, and #31 in Sweden.

Watch the Live Video for "Nail Them To The Cross"

DARK FUNERAL’s Lord Ahriman comments on ‘A Beast To Praise’:

‘A Beast To Praise’ (Live at Fållan, Stockholm) captures a very important moment in the history of DARK FUNERAL — not only the live release ritual for ‘We Are The Apocalypse,’but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic. That night at Fållanwas intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience, and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding ‘We Are The Apocalypse.’ At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of DARK FUNERAL and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027. And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape — bigger, darker, and more epic than ever before...”

GEARS Return with Emotionally Charged New Single "Spiraling"

“Spiraling” dives into the darkness of mental health struggles, the feeling of losing control, becoming overwhelmed, and not knowing where to turn. But beneath the weight of the song is an important message: you are not alone.

GEARS captures the struggle of spiraling while reminding listeners that reaching out, asking for help, and refusing to suffer in silence can be the first step toward finding your way back.

There comes a moment when everything feels like it's slipping away. The weight of anxiety. The noise inside your head. The fear that no matter how hard you fight, you're losing control.

Hard rock powerhouse GEARS confronts that battle head-on with their explosive new single, "Spiraling," arriving today across all major streaming platforms.

Known for blending punishing riffs, soaring melodies, and deeply personal songwriting, GEARS once again proves why they continue to resonate with rock and metal fans worldwide. "Spiraling" is more than another heavy track it's a brutally honest reflection of the emotional struggles so many people face but

rarely discuss.

Built on thunderous guitar work, relentless rhythm, and a vocal performance that balances vulnerability with unrelenting power, the song captures the feeling of standing on the edge while refusing to let darkness have the

final word.

“You are not alone. So many of us going through similar or even more difficult struggles. Please reach out to someone. You matter, and you don’t have to face this alone. I’m begging you… PLEASE TALK TO SOMEONE and let them help”. -Tripp Sixx

From the opening note, "Spiraling" pulls listeners into an emotional storm before erupting into a massive chorus that is destined to become a live favorite. The track showcases everything fans have come to expect from GEARS raw honesty, undeniable hooks, and the kind of heaviness that serves the song instead of overshadowing it.

Over the years, GEARS has carved out a reputation as one of hard rock's most authentic voices, building a fiercely loyal fanbase through relentless touring, unforgettable live performances, and music that connects on a deeply human level. Rather than chasing trends, the band continues to evolve while staying true to the passion and intensity that have defined their sound from the beginning.

"Spiraling" represents another bold step forward.It's a song for anyone who has battled self doubt. For anyone fighting anxiety. For anyone searching for hope in the middle of chaos. And for anyone who needs a reminder that even when life feels like it's unraveling, there is always another reason to keep fighting.

With anticipation already building around the release, "Spiraling" is poised to become one of GEARS most impactful songs to date, offering both emotional catharsis and a sonic punch that will leave listeners reaching for repeat.

Prepare yourself. Turn it up.

And let "Spiraling" remind you that sometimes the strongest people are the ones still fighting battles no one else can see.

GEARS isn’t just another rock band—they’re a reminder of why heavy music matters. Real songs, real emotion, and a live show that leaves you buzzing long after the last note.

WE ARE GEARS.

Turn it up. Feel it loud. And don’t forget to move.

Cenobia Signs to Fearless Records + Shares "Swallowed By the World" Video — WATCH // Announces EP

FEARLESS RECORDS is thrilled to welcome enigmatic artist CENOBIA to the worldwide roster.

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Cenobia independently released her debut single "Devour Me" in 2025. Months later, she re-emerged with her second single, "Throne of Want," followed by "Make Us Whole Again." Amidst cryptic ciphers and narrative-driven music videos, she quickly amassed millions of streams, views, and a rabid fanbase. Her rapid ascent has caused many to speculate whether she is real or a product of AI.

But she is, in fact, real.

She crafts music from the dark, without aid, without favor, and without compromise. She simply writes music for someone who will never hear it.

Deeply inspired by her favourite video games, Cenobia has shrouded her art in cryptic lore and immersive visual chapters, cultivating a devoted following: "Her Collective."

She welcomes you in.

Cenobia wil release the Lethal Devotion EP on September 18.Pre-save it here.

Additionally, she has shared the video for new single "Swallowed By the World." Watch it Below:

Cenobia returns upon a dark steed. "Swallowed By The World" is her fourth chapter — a modern metal track that steadily escalates sonic tension through riffs that resonate, haunting melodies, and plate-shifting breakdowns. Exploring themes of internal conflict, obsession, and triumph, "Swallowed By The World" balances delicate emotions with relentless intensity. She has returned to swallow the world whole.

About this latest transmission, Cenobia states, "Cenobia gifts you her fourth chapter, 'Swallowed By The World.' Her end. Her beginning.'A divine awakening is upon us. Her eyes are yet to open.' Devoured whole. A fractured rebirth. She was swallowed by the world, forged in trauma. Her quest to be made whole again draws to an end. Now, her divine awakening is upon us. She is Cenobia. She too will devour the stars."

BBR MUSIC GROUP/BMG NASHVILLE ANNOUNCES THE SIGNING OF JADE EAGLESON

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville proudly announces the signing of award-winning Canadian country artist Jade Eagleson to its recording roster. One of the genre's leading international voices, Eagleson has amassed more than 430 million global streams and 130 million YouTube views while earning five No. 1 singles at Canadian Country Radio, multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications, and widespread acclaim for his modern take on neo-traditional country music.

The Ontario native continues to build on that momentum following a remarkable stretch that includes four JUNO Award nominations, 2025 CCMA Male Artist of the Year, 2024 CCMA Album of the Year, and 2023 CCMA Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year honors.

In addition to signing with the label, Eagleson also expanded his team signing with Range Music for management, CAA for booking and Spirit Music, in a joint venture with Alliance Music Partners, for publishing.

“I’m incredibly excited to begin my journey with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville,” says Jade. “I have always had a profound respect for their team and the way they love and elevate their artists. The whole team feels like family and I’m so very proud to call this label my home. Regarding Range, that team has already been such a strong support for me, and we’re only just getting started. I feel incredibly aligned with them. They are strategic and innovative, and have been a blessing to have in my life. The fine folks that work there have quickly become some of my best friends.  In addition, I love my agents at CAA, and I am so grateful that they rolled the dice on me and my obsession with steel and fiddle. It hasn’t been all that long and I’ve already had experiences that will last a lifetime. I am excited to continue playing and growing new markets with these fine folks. For the Spirit Music team, I remember coming to Nashville close to 10 years ago exploring publishing options, and most folks politely turned me away because what I was doing at the time was too country. Frank Rogers and Derek Wells on the other hand took the time to hear my music, and show interest in what I was doing when nobody else would. I have also had the privilege of working with Abbey for the last year or two and love that I can work with all of these incredible people on my upcoming releases. With these leaders in my corner across all aspects of my career, I am looking forward to what the next few years look like for me, my music and my opportunities to connect and engage with fans globally.”

"Jade represents so much of what everyone loves about this format. He knows exactly who he is as an artist, has an undeniable respect for the genre and has built an incredible career by stying true to that," says JoJamie Hahr, EVP, BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. "What he has already accomplished is impressive, but we believe there is so much more ahead. We're thrilled to welcome Jade to the family and excited to be part of this next chapter."

"Spirit Music has been a big fan of Jade Eagleson for years,” shares Frank Rogers, CEO Spirit Music. We are excited to partner with Jade and help let the rest of the world discover what we (and all of Canada) have been excited about for a long time! Let’s go!”

"Jade has achieved remarkable success, and I am beyond excited to partner with him and Spirit Music on this next chapter,” says Abbey Adams, Co-Founder, Alliance Music Partners. “This is a pivotal point for Jade, the possibilities are endless, and we're thrilled to be a part of creating something even bigger with him." 

About Jade Eagleson

Punk-Metal Pioneers SNOT Officially Sign to BLKIIBLK

Today, BLKIIBLK is proud to announce the signing of legendary California punk-metal pioneers SNOT to a worldwide recording deal. One of the most influential cult bands to emerge from the late-'90s heavy music explosion, SNOT is currently writing and recording its long-awaited new studio album - the band's first collection of new material in nearly three decades – set for release in summer 2027, with new music set to arrive in early 2027, coinciding with the 30th anniversary of their landmark debut, ‘Get Some.’

 

Mikey Doling, founder and guitarist of SNOT, comments:

“I am beyond thrilled to announce SNOT’s signing with BLKIIBLK! From my very first conversation with Mike Gitter, it was clear that the team at BLKIIBLK and SNOT were a perfect fit. They truly believe in what we’re doing, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. We're proud to be joining the Frontiers/BLKIIBLK family. I've got my sunglasses on because the future is so bright! We're fired up to bring the new SNOT songs we've been working on to our fans around the world. This is just the beginning!” 

 

Mike Gitter, Head of A&R, Frontiers Label Group, adds:

BLKIIBLK isn’t merely just proud to be working with SNOT but, more importantly, to be part of fulfilling a legacy that has only intensified as time has gone by. SNOT is really the high-octane stopgap between fellow Santa Barbara punk miscreants, RKL and Generation Nu-Metal. Mikey, John, Jamie and Andy are on fire and not only celebrating their history but making it much more than a classic-album-and-then-we’re-out proposition. F- that! SNOT lives!”

 

SNOT never played by anyone else's rules. Originally formed in Santa Barbara, California, in 1995, they featured the charismatic Lynn Strait on vocals, guitarist Mikey Doling, bassist John Fahnestock, and drummer Jamie Miller. The band forged a sound that blurred the lines between hardcore, punk, funk, groove, and metal with an attitude that refused to fit neatly into any scene. Built around the unforgettable presence of frontman Lynn Strait, the unmistakable guitar work of Mikey Doling, and a rhythm section that balanced precision with swagger, SNOT created music that was as infectious as it was uncompromising.

Released in 1997 through Geffen Records, 'Get Some' has become one of heavy music's defining cult classics. Its explosive combination of crushing riffs, undeniable groove, raw humor, and fearless individuality helped shape the emerging nu-metal movement while standing apart from it entirely. Decades later, the album continues to inspire generations of musicians across metal, hardcore, punk, and hard rock, earning its reputation as one of the era's most distinctive and enduring releases.

Although Lynn Strait's tragic passing in 1998 brought the band's original run to an abrupt end, SNOT's legacy only continued to grow. In 2000, the surviving members honored Strait with the acclaimed tribute album 'Strait Up,' featuring an extraordinary roster of guest vocalists including Jonathan Davis, Corey Taylor, Fred Durst, Serj Tankian, and many others. Meanwhile, SNOT's members went on to help shape bands including Soulfly, Bad Religion, Amen, Lo-Pro, and Channel Zero, extending the band's influence across multiple generations of heavy music.

In 2025, SNOT returned with powerhouse vocalist Andy Knapp, ushering in a new era while honoring the spirit that made the band a cult favorite.

📸: Adriana Torres

Since returning to the stage, SNOT has experienced an overwhelming resurgence, fueled by passionate fans and acclaimed performances at major festivals including Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple, Inkcarceration, Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Download, Graspop, Alcatraz, and Motocultor, alongside sold-out headline club shows throughout North America and Europe. The response has firmly established SNOT as one of heavy music's most celebrated comeback stories.

The current SNOT lineup features Mikey Doling (guitar), John Fahnestock (bass), Jamie Miller (drums), and Andy Knapp (vocals), with Doc Coyle joining the band as touring support guitarist for live performances. 

Now signed to BLKIIBLK, SNOT is preparing to release its first new music in nearly thirty years, opening an exciting new chapter while staying true to the spirit that made the band legendary.

GET SOME. SNOT IS BACK.

Mikey Doling – Guitar

John Fahnestock – Bass

Jamie Miller – Drums

Andy Knapp – Vocals

ENSLAVED - announces new studio album 'Mið' & reveals new track/video 'Solar Will'

Progressive trailblazers Enslaved have officially announced their forthcoming studio album, Mið, set for release on October 30 via Nuclear Blast Records. Throughout their 35 year journey, across 17 albums, the Norwegian vanguard have continually redefined the boundaries of progressive black metal, weaving Old Norse histories and sacred traditions into complex modern soundscapes. With their latest offering, Enslaved turn their gaze toward the fundamental concept of the axis: the middle, the origin, and the infinite reach of the present moment.

Alongside this news, the band have unveiled the transcendant new single 'Solar Will', both a paean to a divine spark, and a testament to the album title’s fundamental concept: a centre whose reach is infinite. It's accompanying video was created by Kolibri Media, long term partners of Enslaved based in Bergen.

Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson stated:
"There have been sun cults as long as Magic Man has been around (at least). The Sun is a nurturing and terrifying parent that can grant as well as obliterate life totally. Such a classic and awe-inspiring object of our worship and myths requires classic and awesome riffs, Bonham-esque drum grooves and blistering melodic flares celebrating its horrific glory. This is what that sounds like to me: “Solar Will”!"

Voicalist / bassist Grutle Kjellson adds:

“Solar Will explores archetypal conflicts, those that manifest in nature, the cosmos, mythology, and, above all, within the human mind. In this instance, the central struggle is expressed through one of the enduring rivalries found in Norse mythology, embodied by two important, though often somewhat overlooked, figures within the pantheon. Readers familiar with the Norse mythological tradition will likely recognize the identities rather instantly, yet I shall refrain from naming them, allowing each reader the opportunity to engage with and decipher the lyrics on their own. After all, perhaps this is one of the essential functions of lyric writing: to invite interpretation and cultivate a sense of wonder? The conclusion, or more precisely, the absence of one, suggests that, for human beings, chaos and dreams are at least as significant as the realities we perceive through our senses. Ultimately, the work advocates not for resolution, but for the acceptance, assimilation, and shaping of these often contradictory forces."

Enslaved live in 2027

27-30 May 27   US - Baltimore @ Maryland Deathfest 2027

Tickets available here: Tour - Enslaved

Never faltering, Norway’s iconic Enslaved continue to exist as one of the most original and dependable components in our scene's indestructible backbone. Possessing the reputation as one of the most riveting live acts around, they never fail to offer us talent of the highest calibre, always doing justice to their signature black/progressive sound. Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, releasing their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, their legendary mini-album Hordanes Land coming out in 1993, and with their debut full-length Vikingligr Veldi arriving in the spring of 1994.

It’s a rare and remarkable feat that 35 years and now 17 albums in, Enslaved’s horizons still continue to expand. Every stage of the Bergen band’s evolution, every new phase entered, has felt like an organic act of discovery and renewal. Their journey has been at once a commitment to a promise that found its embryonic form in the Norwegian black metal scene they emerged from, and a willingness to challenge both orthodoxy and themselves from the off to make that potential manifest.

Enslaved’s new album, Mið, an Old Norse word for ‘centre’, or ‘middle’, marks another departure, and another new beginning. The band have always dealt in states of transition, nor least on the thematically linked, mythology-steeped rites of passage that were 2020’s Utgard and 2023’s Heimdal. What lay beyond, however, was… unexpected.

Mið is an album that sheds light on harmonies and dialogues embedded all around us: between the ways of the past, and how they can bring enlightenment to the present, between small kernels of truth and their ability to project onto the most universal on canvases, and between band members relying on instinct and each other to create a record that galvanises on every possible level.

SIFYN Announce "Self-Encrypted" EP & A New Era Of Pop-Metalcore

Minneapolis pop-metalcore outfit, SIFYN, pull at the threads of pain, connection, and survival on brand new single, "Code", out now. The track also arrives alongside the announcement of the band's forthcoming EP, "Self-Encrypted", set for release on December 4. Fusing the impact of metal with alternative rock, atmosphere, emo vulnerability, and pop-forward melody, "Code" is an urgent first glimpse into SIFYN's evolving sound. Watch the new video for "Code" below.

Beginning with the flicker of a television screen lost in static, the brand new video for "Code" erupts in a kaleidoscope of color and flashing lights to heighten the track's tension of between the urge to protect someone and the reality that they must find their own way forward. As anticipation builds for "Self-Encrypted", "Code" sets the pace for a new SIFYN chapter that is brighter, bolder, and built around an even stronger sense of momentum.

Reflecting on the strain of carrying the weight of someone else's pain on "Code", founding member and frontman Lukas Magyar shares:

"We can't wait to see how people react to our new sound. "Code" is full of brilliant moments and I think our fans will agree. It'll give everyone a glimpse of what is next for us."

Excited to introduce the next era of SIFYN with "Self-Encrypted", founding member and frontman Lukas Magyar emphasizes:

"Self Encrypted is an exciting collection. We packed a lot of substance into this body of work. I look forward to performing every track on this EP. It's challenging and it's emotional and energetic, but mostly it's just a ton of fun."

Drawing weight from metalcore with alt-rock textures, emo's volatility, and pop-minded melodies, SIFYN have found a way to make heavy music with a danceable pulse. Sharpening the contrast between intensity and immediacy, "Code" introduces the upcoming "Self-Encrypted" EP as a new phase for the Minneapolis band, one that is colorful while unbridled.

Founded by (ex-Veil Of Maya) Lukas Magyar, SIFYN made their debut with "Marionette" in 2022 and have continued to expand their palette with every release. What began as a creative outlet beyond Magyar's longtime work in heavy music became a space to follow different instincts: bigger melodic swings, looser genre boundaries, and songwriting that makes room for both technical weight and straight-to-the-chest emotion.

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

ABOUT SIFYN

For nearly a decade, SIFYN have lived in a state of constant evolution, growing from a studio project into a full-fledged metal outfit comprising vocalist Lukas Magyar, guitarists Mike Green and Dustin Korth, bassist/co-writer Derek Sampson and drummer Avery Frisk. Along the way, the Minnesota-based quintet have developed a similar sonic restlessness, spinning a genre-blending sound that pulls from modern alternative rock, metalcore and early-2000s emo – muscular rhythms, skyward guitars, shimmering electronics and tightly layered vocals all filtered through Cyberpunk-sheen production. But rather than pledge allegiance to any one scene, SIFYN follow their instincts wherever they lead.

That freedom reaches a new level on SELF-ENCRYPTED, the band's new five-song EP and most personal collection to date. Where the group’s 2022 debut, Marionette, often channeled pieces of Magyar's life through fictional characters, SELF-ENCRYPTED fully closes the distance between songwriter and subject, grappling with loved ones in crisis, identity, ideology, dreams, reality and personal agency with the urgency of a deathbed confessional. By narrowing its perspective to lived experience, SIFYN’s music feels more universal than ever, leaving room for listeners to enter the story – not simply observing the band’s search for answers, but asking critical questions of their own right alongside them.

Untitled With Drums Premiere New Album Made Flesh

UNTITLED WITH DRUMS have shared the stage with Deftones and Baroness, but the band are giving their hybrid of ‘90s post-hardcore and 2000’s alt metal an even greater emotional charge on their upcoming second album, Made Flesh.

Made Flesh comes out tomorrow, Friday, August 21 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all 10 catchy and cutting songs today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

Made Flesh pushes Untitled With Drum’s familiar but fresh sound like never before. Lucas D.'s riffs cut harder while his more atmospheric passages stretch out further, woven through Nicolas Z.'s increasingly prominent synth work. Rémy D.'s drumming anchors the songs with assertive, sometimes intricate grooves, and Martin L.B.'s vocals and bass carry the record's emotional charge throughout.

No strangers to the specialist press or the festival circuit, Untitled With Drums have been together since 2014. The band released their debut album Hollow in 2020, just days before their native France entered its first COVID lockdown. Despite the timing, the album drew widespread praise and propelled the band to the stages of Hellfest, London’s Desertfest and the Nuits de Fourviere festival, where they opened for the Deftones and Baroness.

While the power of Lucas D.'s riffs is heightened, the ethereal soundscapes he weaves are even more expanded. They blend seamlessly with Nicolas Z.'s synthesizers, now more prominent than ever. Rémy D.'s drumming provides the songs’ backbone, delivering grooves with assertive nuances without neglecting more intricate patterns. This array of strengths wouldn't be complete without bassist Martin L.B..'s vocals, never failing to deliver an infectious emotional intensity. This energy serves Made Flesh's thematic focus: a satirical outlook on our times delivered from a multitude of perspectives, like donning and dropping one mask after another.

With this sophomore album, UNTITLED WITH DRUMS establish themselves as the beacon of a French rock scene struggling to take risks, too often settling for crude heaviness. Theirs cuts deeper — straight to the flesh.

'The Sound Of Letting Go' is a song about change, self-belief, and the courage to let go. Capturing those moments when life takes an unexpected turn, reminding us that these very moments often pave the way for a true new beginning.”

Their debut single, “Euphonia,” immediately attracted international attention, earning Classic Rock Magazine UK's “Best Rock Song of the Week” accolade in October 2024. Momentum continued with the release of their debut album ‘Trail Of Gold’ in September 2025, which received widespread acclaim and was highlighted as a “Tip of the Month” and “Tip of the Year” by leading rock publications including Classic Rock, Rocks, and Rock Hard.

BMG, in partnership with Rhino Entertainment, announces the release of the 40th Anniversary of Ratt’s third studio album, Dancing Undercover

PRE-ORDER HERE


This Limited Edition Gatefold LP features reimagined cover artwork, and a zoetrope vinyl with moving images of the iconic band’s logo and the members themselves, all housed in an opaque bag.

Formed in Los Angeles, RATT was featured as an unsigned act on Uncle Joe Benson’s Local Licks Drive Time Show on KLOS-FM.  This was their first time on radio and led to their signing to Atlantic Records.  

RATT exploded on to the national scene in 1984 with the release of ‘Out Of The Cellar.’ Featuring an undeniable hook and legendary music video, lead single “Round And Round” hit #12 on the Billboard Hot 100, while ‘Out Of The Cellar’ reached #7 on the Billboard Top 200 and was certified triple platinum. Two more charting singles followed with “Back For More” and “Wanted Man”. RATT started the tour as an opening act, but by the end of the tour had climbed to arena headliner.

RATT returned in 1985 with their 2nd full length album, ‘Invasion Of Your Privacy.’ Certified double platinum and also reaching #7 on the Billboard Top 200, ‘Invasion of Your Privacy’ also featured the classics “Lay It Down” (#40 Billboard Hot 100) and “You’re In Love”. 

‘Dancing Undercover’ followed in 1986 as RATT toured North America with a brand new LA band called POISON as the opening act. The lead single “Dance” hit the Billboard Hot 100 and spawned another music video hit with “Slip Of The Lip”, while “Body Talk” was featured in a key scene in the Eddie Murphy film, ‘The Golden Child’. ‘Dancing Undercover’ became RATT 3rd consecutive PLATINUM album and reached #26 on the Billboard Top 200.

Dancing Undercover features the classic line up of Stephen Pearcy (vocals), Warren DeMartini (guitars), Robbin Crosby (guitars), Juan Croucier (bass/vocals), and Bobby Blotzer (drums).

King 810 Return With New Album "La Grande Mort or Silence of God" on 11/27 + Share "Love Kills" Video

KING 810 are knocking at the door once again.

The Flint, Michigan heavy music outliers will unleash their new full-length album, La Grande Mort or Silence of God, on November 27. It not only serves as the band's fourth full-length offering of original new material in 18 months, but you also could call it the spiritual successor to their most-acclaimed and most-streamed 2016 second LP, La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God. Rather than retread the same old ground, they celebrate 10 years since the latter with another violent evolution manifested in the form of the eight tracks on La Grande Mort or Silence of God. It arrives November 27. Pre-order it here.

They signal the dawn of this chapter with the release of a new single entitled "Love Kills" today. Watch the video below.

A dirty riff rumbles beneath entrancing musings from frontman David K Gunnuntil distortion boosts his screams over a head-nodding groove. It culminates on a chantable chorus as he proclaims, "They’re in the company of ghosts. LOVE KILLS." It rolls into the embrace of a final question once he wonders, "Do you love me? Yes I do."

King 810 sink their teeth in — and never let go on this one.

About the track, Gunn commented, "This song is about the most dangerous game us animals play — love. 'Love Kills' reveals there is no ceremonial difference between weddings and funerals. There's a type of devotion that doesn't care whether the other person is alive to receive it. That's what this song is — love that outlives the need for consent from the ultimate authority: Death."

To bring this body of work to life, the musicians—Gunn [vocals, guitar, keys], Eugene Gill [bass], John Paul Vega [drums], and Bryce Ballinger [guitar]—once agan joined forces with longtime producer and creative confidant Josh Schroeder [Lorna Shore] in Flint. The result is a brilliant and bold blood-soaked epic steeped in the lore of a Midwest forgotten by the mainstream, dark magic, and sonic subversion of the highest order, copulating metal, alternative, electronic, hip-hop, and psychedelia into a catharsis of pain, pleasure, and poetry. This is music to wage war, cry, fuck, pray, or change your life to.

This is King 810.

Recently, the group teased the record with "Hungry Gods" at the top of the summer. Beyond amassing hundreds of thousands of streams, it picked up plugs from Lambgoat, The PRP, Brave Words, Distorted Sound, and BLUNT Magazine who hailed it as "dark and atmospheric."

KING 810 are also fresh off an explosive run of the UK and other European festivals. This fall the band will embark on their Autumnal Rites headline tour, with special guests Guerrilla Warfare, culminating in a very special live presentation of La Petite Mort or a Conversation With God in its entirety for the first time ever on October 30 — Devil's Night — in Pontiac, MI.

King 810 are about to break the door down once and for all.

KING 810 LIVE:
9/17 — Louisville, KY — Louder Than Life*

9/20 — New Orleans, LA — Gasa Gasa

Tiny Magnetic Pets explore darker, more cinematic territory on new ‘Astralux’ EP, out August 21

Celebrated Irish electronic / synthwave outfit Tiny Magnetic Pets release their three-track ‘Astralux’ EP on July 21st, boldly reinventing several of their most-loved tracks and blending cinematic synth textures, soaring melodies and electronic pulse. Their musical journey has seen them championed by Blitz Club and Visage legend Rusty Egan, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD), and electronic music pioneer Vince Clarke.

The lead track ‘Lost My Guiding Light (Again)’ offers a stellar transformation of the original version into a vibrant new anthem. Reflecting the search for hope and direction in an increasingly uncertain world, inviting listeners to consider what their own guiding light might be.

The ‘Astralux’ EP also features two remixes of 'Low Places', which appeared on the band's 2025 'Harmonious Grey' EP. For this, the trio teamed up with pioneering producer and DJ Paul Dakeyne, whose innovative work has helped shape electronic dance music for over three decades. A Ministry of Sound resident DJ, he has played sets for U2 and Kraftwerk. Endorsed by Paul Oakenfold and Fatboy Slim, he has created 250+ remixes, including for George Michael, The Cure, Tori Amos, New Order, Enya, Soft Cell, Erasure, Nancy Sinatra, Yello, and The Housemartins.

Based between Dublin and Belfast, Tiny Magnetic Pets has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary electronic music since emerging in 2015. Here, vocalist Paula Gilmer, keyboardist-guitarist Sean Quinn and drummer Eugene Somers are joined by Seamus Quinn on bass.

Mixed and mastered by Tim Dorney, perhaps best known as keyboardist of Republica, he was also a member of Flowered Up and Tin Gun, this release combines classic synth-pop songwriting with contemporary electronic production, bringing together melodic depth and club-ready energy. With the melodic songwriting and electronic textures that have defined Tiny Magnetic Pets' sound, this EP is infused with adventurous new energy, making a confident statement about where they are heading next.

“When we play live we like to do different versions from the records. Last year, we were asked to play a dance music festival in Dublin, so we re-arranged the opening track from our second album ‘Deluxe/Debris’ for an EDM audience, and it has now become the opening tune to our live shows,” explains Sean Quinn.

“We re-recorded this new version in 2026 and we feel it is significantly different from the original to warrant its own release and slight re-title: Lost My Guiding Light (Again) - a wee nod to Bowie’s John I’m Only Dancing (Again).”

Paula Gilmer adds, “A re-imagining of two of our most popular live tracks for the 21st century dancefloor, the lead track is about how everyone at some point loses their way - in life, in work, in relationships, in faith but the theme carries more weight in 2026 with the whole world seemingly losing its way! What is your “guiding light” in 2026? Morality? Truth? Honesty? Love? Empathy? Compassion? Fill in the blank, post it on TikTok and hope it goes viral.”

As of August 21st, the 'Astralux' EP is available from digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The ‘Astralux’ EP follows exactly one month later on August 21st.

IAN MUNSICK DROPS NEW CLOTHING LINE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SCHAEFER OUTFITTER

As Ian Munsick prepares to release his fourth studio album, The Mountain Goatthis Friday – which received early praise from The Tennessean for its “sweeping Western storytelling and vivid landscapes” – the Wyoming native is celebrating with the launch of his capsule collaboration collection with Schaefer Outfitter, available now HERE.
 
"The wait is over! Our clothing line collaboration with Schaefer Outfitter is finally yours. Caroline and I have waited years to deliver the kind of quality and style that this line embodies,” Munsick remarks. “I'll be wearing every single piece both on stage and on the ranch in Wyoming. Make sure to claim yours before they run out!"

As Munsick embarks on his Road to the Mountain Goat western tour, Schaefer Outfitter will join on select stops in Park City, Utah; Laramie, Wyoming; and Deadwood, South Dakota. At each location, fans will have the opportunity to see and try pieces from the collection. The tour's merch operation will also carry Schaefer Outfitter hats and tees for fans to purchase.
 
Founded in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Schaefer Outfitter has spent four decades providing western wear to working cowboys and ranchers. Their collection with Munsick includes custom pearl snap shirts, outerwear, hats and graphic tees designed collaboratively between Munsick and the Schaefer team. 
 
The collaboration was born from hands-on involvement with both Ian and Caroline Munsick providing design inspiration, artwork direction, fabric details, naming inspiration and more. With the line dropping around the arrival of Munsick’s fourth studio album, The Mountain Goat, songs off the project including “Geronimo” draw inspiration in multiple pieces.
 
“New album! New tour! New clothing line! The entire Schaefer Outfitter team is so thankful that we were able to be part of Ian’s journey,” adds Jason Smith, CEO of Schaefer Outfitter. “From the very beginning, we could not believe how much Ian’s commitment to quality, creativity, and giving back to the community of fans directly aligned with Schaefer Outfitter’s core values. We are so excited to get this out into the wild, and we can’t wait to see you singing along in the Ian Munsick + Schaefer Outfitter collection.”
 
The Mountain Goat marks Munsick’s first full-length project released via WEST TO THE REST RECORDS / Triple Tigers Records. Co-produced by Munsick with Jeremy Spillman and Mike Robinson, Munsick also played an extensive role in the instrumentation heard on the 15-track record. 
 
In total, Munsick is credited with playing nine different instruments: acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, piano, bouzouki and kazoo, as well as lending background vocals and programming.

“It was magical to hear the way strings can transform a song when we were in the studio creating this record, and I can’t wait to bring that to life in an even bigger way with our full setlist,” shared Lambert. “We’ve never gotten to play that way on stage, and to have the opportunity to do it for the first time at the opening of a beautiful new venue right here in Nashville is going to be really special.”
 
The opening-night performance comes as Lambert enters a new creative era with Crisco, a vibrant and joyful collection inspired in part by the long-overlooked connection between country music’s dance hall tradition and the energy of disco. Early previews of the project include “Sunset Marquis,” a dreamy, California-soaked song, the previously released title track, “Till The Going’s Gone” and GRAMMY-nominated duet “A Song To Sing” with Chris Stapleton which all join in showcasing the vibrant layers and joyful creative spirit at the heart of Crisco

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