FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH NEW ALBUM "LEGACY" NOW AVAILABLE ON LIMITED EDITION VINYL, CD, + CASSETTE

September 18, 2026

Today, Five Finger Death Punch released various physical editions of their brand-new 10th studio album, Legacy, which arrived digitally on July 31 via Better Noise Music. The collection includes limited-edition vinyl, CD, and cassette variants featuring exclusive artwork, available now through the band's official store HERE, with the European and UK vinyl release following on October 9. Adding to today’s release, the band also dropped the official music video for the album’s title track "Legacy." Watch it BELOW.

Celebrating two decades of Five Finger Death Punch, each physical variant stands out as a singular collectible, arriving as the band continues its current North American leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour through October 23.

Since its digital release in July, Legacy has already yielded over 60 million streams and counting. Upon release, the album claimed spots on 18 international charts. Most notably, it vaulted to #2 on the US Top Digital Albums Chart, hot on the trail of only Ariana Grande's Petal. On Spotify, it hit #6 on the US Top Albums Chart and #8 globally.

The album arrived in the wake of the first single "Eye Of The Storm," delivering the band's 18th No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, extending their own record for the most consecutive No. 1s in the chart's 45-year history. It held the top slot for three consecutive weeks. Current single "Nails in the Coffin" is steadily climbing the rock charts and is already at #21 this week. Revolver praised the track's blend of battering riffs and melody driven by Ivan Moody's introspective vocal performance, while Loudwire called it "a furious opening statement for the new album cycle."

The band is currently on the first leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour, traveling across North America with special guests Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire. The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band's journey from their 2005 formation and the 2007 release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, 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 and sponsored by Punch'd Energy, the 48-city North American tour is currently underway and will wrap up in Bristow, VA, at Jiffy Lube Live on October 23. Check out the full tour routing below. For tickets, VIP offerings, and more, visit here.

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of rock's most charitable bands, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans, first responders, and their families. In 2026, the band continued that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games, to be 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 20th Anniversary World Tour also marks the newest addition to the Death Punch family: Punch'd Energy joins as the tour's official sponsor, bringing a whole new way to get energized. Their stackable caffeine gummies each contain 10mg of pure, natural caffeine, so fans can stack as many as they need to build their own dose. At every show, fans 18 and over can scan the on-screen QR code for a free sample shipped straight to their door, no purchase necessary. For more info, visit here.

Next up, after the North American tour, 5FDP will head across the pond for an early 2027 UK/EUROPEAN arena tour with Lamb of God and Bleed From Within. The second leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour will kick off in Manchester, UK, on Saturday, January 16, and will see the band perform in 21 cities across the continent, ending in Helsinki on February 22, 2027.

Evil Invaders Unleash New Standalone Single "Dreamstate (Single Version)"

September 17, 2026

Belgian Thrash and Heavy Metal unit EVIL INVADERS strike with their huge new standalone single "Dreamstate (Single Version)," out now alongside a cinematic official music video! The anticipatory intro of the song builds into a relentless storm of sounds, defined by the heavy-hitting drums, roaring guitars, and multi-faceted vocals. Drawing lyrically from the rat race and sensory overload that defines modern society, EVIL INVADERS unleash a true heavy metal banger with their first music release since the 2022 album Shattering Reflection, reinforcing their standing as a rising force in the international scene.

Having toured with Dirkschneider and Sepultura earlier this year, EVIL INVADERS have proved that they are ready for the big stages, and recently announced more exciting tours for 2027. The band will be co-headlining continental Europe with HEATHEN and Exhorder, bringing WARFIELD along as a special guest, and co-headlining with HEATHEN only in the UK. Immerse yourself into the thrilling music video for the new single below and stay tuned for more new music coming soon!

Vocalist Joe on the new single and video:
"'Dreamstate' is about overwhelming stress and how our mind deals with it. In a world where there's no time for rest or any peace of mind, we lay awake at night and rejoin the rat race by day. Our body gets ignored when it tells us to slow down, we push through while we're multi-tasking our way through life. Suddenly, we realize we're not really awake or living in 'the now' anymore...Can you escape the Dreamstate?

"The whole video concept was made by our friend Jens De Vos from Panda Productions. He wanted to make a video clip that was not mainly based on quick editing and fast camera movements. Instead, he chose a more cinematic way of filming. It resulted in a video that feels like you're watching a movie moreso than a music video. Something completely different. We also want to make clear that there was no AI used for the special effects in the video. Everything is real work done by human beings."

Pittsburgh's LOWSUNDAY turns loneliness into darkwave seduction on 'Someone To Talk To'

September 17, 2026

US darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday lean straight into the heavy ache of isolation on their intoxicating new single, 'Someone to Talk To', exploring the painful tension between the desperate need for connection and the harsh realization that the person we trust may not be who they seem.

Following the adrenaline-infused 'You’re So Wired' and 'This Is Not Heaven', the new single is lifted from their scorching 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine - Black EP' recently released via Projekt Records, the very label that supported them before disbanding decades ago. Wrapping listeners in a shadowy, dreamlike atmosphere, this song turns heartbreak and disillusionment into something strangely serene.

The lyrics follow someone reaching out for companionship while getting caught in a web of deception, emotional dependence, and misplaced trust. It hits on a central truth about chronic loneliness: how it can cloud our judgment, causing us to mistake basic attention for genuine care and completely overlook warning signs until the truth is impossible to ignore. The repeated declarations of love set against accusations of cruelty capture the song’s core emotional contradiction, showing how attachment can survive even after trust has been destroyed.

Formed initially as Low Sunday Ghost Machine back in 1994, the band emerged as retro-futurist pioneers, blending darkwave and shoegaze long before either genre experienced its modern revival. After a nearly 25-year hiatus, Lowsundayresurfaced in 2025 as a duo featuring original members Shane Sahene on vocals, guitars, synth, bass, and drums, alongside Bobby Spell on bass, guitars, and drums.

Their return was cemented by extended 30th and 25th-anniversary re-releases of their 1996 debut album 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine' and the 1999 masterpiece 'Elesgiem' through Projekt Records, followed closely by their late 2025 ‘Low Sunday Ghost Machine - White EP', which ranked second on Post-Punk.com's best EPs list. Now, the 'Black EP' -- their second release of all-new material released since 1999 -- serves as the darker counterpart and definitive statement to that release.

"This song goes into darker, more abstract places," explains Shane Sahene, talking about interacting with people who walk through life handing out broken hearts as a form of exchange. "The figurines with the eyeball heads almost suggest being naive—that we sometimes think with our eyes and not our heads—that we can love at face value and totally miss the underlying reality that some people actually don't want to be loved. As the song goes, 'when you said you had my back, it was your first attack.'"

Shane Sahene also notes the curious irony of the track: "It makes us very happy to play. It’s so dark in concept that it emotionally feels like being in a calm ocean at night or walking into a cave."

The release is further anchored by a striking companion music video crafted by creative partner Jer Herring. "This video perfectly captures the delicate coldness, detachment, and loneliness of this song," says Bobby Spell. "Jer has a way of drawing on the essence of a song and bonding it with imagery that demonstrates isolation and miscommunication in a variety of modern scenarios."

Blending shimmering, pristine textures with infectious choruses, Lowsundaybridges three decades of distinct sonic legacy with a renewed creative clarity. The 'Black EP' is available now across digital platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, with a physical vinyl edition (limited to 200 copies) available through Bandcamp.

Kenny Chesney Rocks The Plaza; Debuts Animated "Goldfish" TONIGHT

September 17, 2026

They came from Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, North Carolina, Philadelphia and beyond – and started lining up long before midnight – to be part of Kenny Chesney’s kick-off for Silver Sands Marina on the Plaza with “TODAY”’s Citi Concert Series. They brought license plates saying “SS Marina,” signs that said “Skipped School for This,” “Too Old for High Heels, But Not No Shoes,” “Virgina Is For Kenny Chesney Lovers” and “My First Kenny Chesney Concert,” as well as Pirates Flags, tennis pros, bags of Goldfish and sundry tokens of No Shoes Nation for the show that saw the live debut of the title track, “Goldfish” and “Carry On.”

“I figured if we’ve got the band in place, we might as well open it up,” said the East Tennessee songwriter-superstar. “To play these songs for the people, to feel the energy and see how they light people up is what it’s all about… And it was great they gave us five songs, so we could go deep – and have some fun. And it was.”

Photos from Chesney's "TODAY" performance will be added HERE with photo credit as they become available.
Performances will be available later today HERE.

With the new songs landing with a big smile and bigger energy, Chesney has gotten his 21st album underway like only he can. Live on several ESPN shows this afternoon, he will join his friends at the table on “The View” tomorrow. Even more, the Country Music Hall of Fame inductee is set to world premiere a special animated clip of “Goldfish” tonight as part of his second TalkShopLive appearance, where he will further unpack his new album and take questions from the people watching. Watch the premiere and conversation HERE.

“Since we’re all gonna be together, this is the place to show off this new, animated take on our ‘Goldfish’ video,” Chesney shares. “We were talking about how much fun the video we shot was and childlike this song is, and figured, ‘Why not take it all the way… and make a cartoon out of it?’ It’s amazing what you can do when you add in animation.

“All of the animals not only come to life – and have some pretty good rhythm. But through some really creative people’s magic, they even brought Poncho and Da Ruba Girl to the party! What could be better? And the people at TalkShopLive worked so hard to figure out how we can make world premiering this video a part of tonight’s stuff.”

Next week, Chesney joins Gayle King on “CBS Mornings,” as well as Joe Torre for “NBC Nightly News” segment “Great Americans.” As “Carry On” crests the top of the charts and the Original Vibe Room 2027 Tour tickets for 19 stadium shows go on sale, Silver Sands Marina arrives with a flourish and a lot of fun.

“It’s been three years since I put out a record, and we’ve got new music to play,” Chesney says. “This has been such a creative time for me and the band, and we’re loving every moment. If it’s this much fun now, I can’t imagine what next year’s tour is gonna be like – because these songs are landing now, it’s going to be crazy when we get to Tampa. Just the way we like it.”

Pre-order, pre-save/pre-add Silver Sands Marina HERE.

Purchase the signed vinyl, CDs and limited vinyl picture discs, or watch Chesney’s first in-depth conversation about Silver Sands Marina on TalkShopLive HERE.

Ray Hawthorne Can't Outrun Where He's From On New Single "When It Rains"

September 17, 2026

Pop punk's most lovable liability, Ray Hawthorne, returns today with another brand new track, "When It Rains", taken off his forthcoming new record, "Ray Hawthorne Can't Be Trusted", set for release on October 15. Candid vulnerability, relatable angst, and a strong dislike for your hometown all in one track. Pre-save the upcoming record, "Ray Hawthorne Can't Be Trusted".

Fresh off the placement of "Habits (ft. Pouyan Afkary of Scary Kids Scaring Kids)" at Halloween Horror Nights: Los Angeles, Ray Hawthorne leans into the buzz to deliver a fun, pop-punk deep cut. Miming the ache of small-town stagnation and self-doubt, "When It Rains" captures the suffocating pull of a hometown you can't quite leave behind.

Where "Ray Hawthorne Sucks" was earnest and "Ray Hawthorne Isn't Real" was chaotic, "Ray Hawthorne Can't Be Trusted" continues a catalog that treats humor, self-awareness, and self-destruction as adjacent concepts. As a whole, Ray Hawthorne leans into emotional whiplash and damage control on his earlier records, while "Ray Hawthorne Can't Be Trusted" (produced by Pete Zen) is aimed at the part of the cycle where the damage has already become too familiar.

Setting sail on the emo seas with "When It Rains", Ray Hawthorne shares:

"To be read in a pirate voice:

Arrrrggg matey. How’s goes life for you land lubbers? Everybody thinks they be a pirate because they went to Disneyland once. Posers yee be. And yee know posers be walking the plank on this ship. Alas, this shanty has me favorite line on the record, “When it rains in New Jersey it bathes me, it burns me, it breaks me, it cures me.” The crew and me be singing it until the wee hours. Shiver me timbers and such. It’s like the drinking songs of old but also if the drinking songs of old were inherently emo. Emo pirates we be. Yo ho yo ho a crying life for me."

Renowned for his work in North Kingsley, the acclaimed project alongside Shavo Odadjianof System of a Down, Hawthorne initially captured hearts as the Heartbreak Hero with his inaugural solo release "Heartbreak Feels Good in a Place Like This". Building on his solo work, his debut record "Ray Hawthorne Sucks" further cemented his status as a bold new voice in pop punk, quickly amassing a devoted following and over 20 million streams across all streaming platforms for his magnetic charm and razor-sharp wit.

Blending heartbreak, sarcasm, and just the right amount of emotional stability, Ray Hawthorne leads with a messy kind of hope, turning emotional freefall into something you can scream along to. Where debut album and his firstborn, "Ray Hawthorne Sucks", leaned into an earnest DIY vulnerability, his previous record, "Ray Hawthorne Isn't Real", took a turn and tapped into the restless defiance of a secondborn. The 15 tracks helped embrace the chaos, laugh at the pain, and maybe, just maybe, allow us all to find a little redemption along the way.

Starting from the very real possibility that Ray Hawthorne is just a guy screaming into the ether (and somehow making it sound catchy), his catalog has become a refuge for anyone who's ever felt too loud, too sensitive, or too much. Loud, petty, and deeply cathartic, Ray Hawthorneis proudly one of the most unapologetically honest voices modern pop-punk.

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

Nytt Land Premiere Ritual of Stone Sun (Live 2026)

September 17, 2026

For more than 20 years, Nytt Land have followed their living, breathing connection with ancient traditions and beliefs. Earlier this year, on March 22nd, the dark folk family duo of Natalia and Anatoly Pakhalenko welcomed the spring equinox with a career-spanning live performance in Moscow. Now, fans around the world can partake in this shamanic ritual with their new live album Ritual of Stone Sun (Live 2026).

Ritual of Stone Sun (Live 2026) comes out on all digital platforms tomorrow, Friday, September 18, 2026 on Season of Mist, but you can experience the entire performance today by watching below.

“Ritual of Stone Sun is dedicated to the spring transition and the awakening of nature”, Nytt Land vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Anatoly Pakhalenko says. “Many of the songs from the album are performed today by the nomadic people of Siberia during ceremonies, shamanic rituals and folk festivals”.

Pre-save Ritual of Stone Sun

November 19 - Sydney @ Factory Floor [TICKETS]

November 20 - Brisbane @ Crowbar [TICKETS]

November 21 - Melbourne @ Croxton [TICKETS]

Much like the symbol of the sun itself, Ritual of Stone Sun traces back through Nytt Land’s history. The dark folk family duo’s new live album spans from the throat singing and shamanic drums of their early Nordic cycle to their most recent explorations of the ancient percussion and vocal traditions that are performed by Siberian shamans to this day.

Lead single “Ragnarök” remains a core pillar for Nytt Land’s live ritual since first appearing on the duo’s 2018 album, Oðal. Anatolly’s throat singing and mystical talharpa recall scenes from a Nordic epic. “U-Gra”, a more recent fan favorite, calls out in dedication to ancient Siberia with pounding drums and Natalie’s hypnotic chanting. In the five years since the song was released off the 2021 album Ritual, it has been played more than 3 million times on YouTube and Spotify.

The full video of Nytt Land’s March 2026 performance in Moscow includes three songs that do not appear on Ritual of Stone Sun. “Taiga”, “Totem” and “Tygir Tayii (Heavenly Sacrifice)” are all featured on the duo’s latest studio album, Aba Khan, which was released this February by Prophecy Productions.

The live video of “Ragnarök” was filmed by Sergei Kaputanuk.

After signing with Season of Mist in May of 2026, Nytt Land announced Ritual of Stone Sun (Live 2026). Recorded and filmed in Moscow on March 22, 2026, the live album is dedicated to the beginning of spring and the awakening of nature. The tracklist spans from their 2026 single “Equinox” to “Ragnarök” and other songs from their early Nordic cycle.

FALSIMONIAN Release New Single "Judgment" With Visualizer, Ahead of Forthcoming EP 'For Survival'

September 17, 2026

Melodic death metal quartet FALSIMONIAN have released their most experimental single offering, "Judgment" alongside a visualizer created by audio-visual artist Brian Pinke aka pinkenoise. The track delivers a sonic fusion of death metal, progressive metal, and jazz. FALSIMONIAN's forthcoming EP, For Survival, is scheduled to arrive independently on November 7, 2026.

FALSIMONIAN is pleased to announce an exciting collaboration with audio-visual artist Brian Pinke, out of South Carolina. Pinke performed multiple reactive takes to the track using a modular synthesizer connected to his custom video generating rig. He edited the takes to create the final version, resulting in a bespoke analog video experience.

Each video performance is unique and impossible to replicate, and the intricate analog circuitry creates glitch-like art that is both haunting and beautiful fusing retro and modern aesthetics.

"We are beyond excited to collaborate with Brian, this video aligns with our values of supporting human-made art, and we are honored to have a custom visualizer that was performed alongside our music"

The US and Mexico based melodic death metal band FALSIMONIAN infuse their dynamic heavy sound with influences from Mexican folk and Latin-American roots music, as well as progressive elements and jazz. Centered around a fictional, dystopian world, the upcoming EP considers the everyday impact onto individuals who are living under the threat and fear of a world-ending catastrophe.

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.

Erick Valverde - Vocals
Jesus Fuentes Valverde - Guitars, Keyboards
Cesar Robles Sanchez - Lead Guitars

GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES Share New Single "A New Spark" + Official Video

September 17, 2026

Today, GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES share their new single and official video, “A New Spark,” ahead of the release of their new album ‘Disintegrate,’ scheduled for release on November 20th via Frontiers Music Srl.

Girish Pradhan states:

“It was a small idea that I had recorded back in 2019 during the ‘Rock The Highway’ era, and now it has finally found its home in our new album. I think this is the highlight of the album for all of us. There are times in life when we feel stuck, surrounded by negativity, and desperate for new beginnings. ‘A New Spark’ is a song about the search for that ‘spark,’ an inspiration, which helps us shed the darkness and gather strength and courage to explore new possibilities in life. There is a whole other world out there.”

Watch the Official Video for “A New Spark” Below:

The band is also thrilled to announce that they will support Guns N’ Roses on November 14th in Bangalore, India.

They commented: “Supporting GNR for the third time is a surreal feeling, considering how small we started and how far we’ve come as a band. It used to be a daydream that nobody would dare to dream, especially in a relatively hidden Himalayan state like Sikkim. This is literally us living our dreams!”

Over the last few years, GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES have evolved from one of India’s best-kept hard rock secrets into a truly international force. Fueled by extensive European touring and a widely acclaimed appearance on the hit American television show “America’s Got Talent,” the band has experienced remarkable growth, expanding its audience far beyond its homeland and earning recognition among rock fans across the globe.

Now, with their highly anticipated new album for Frontiers Music Srl, GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES take another step forward. While staying true to the melodic hard rock and classic heavy metal foundations that have always shaped their sound, the band has also explored some new territory on ‘Disintegrate.’

The band comments:

“With this album, we just wanted to play around with the sound a bit. It’s heavier, groovier and darker in places, with some alternative elements coming through, but it still feels like GATC. We didn’t want to overthink it. We just went with what sounded good.

They continue, “There are definitely some different sides of us on this record, both musically and lyrically, and we just want our old and new fans to hear it for themselves.”

At the heart of it all is frontman Girish Pradhan, whose unmistakable voice continues to set the band apart. Possessing a rare combination of power, range, grit, and emotion, Girish channels the spirit of the great rock singers of the past while maintaining a personality and charisma that are entirely his own.

This new release captures a band continuing to grow while staying true to the spirit, passion, and songwriting that have defined GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES from day one.

‘Disintegrate’ is the sound of GIRISH AND THE CHRONICLES moving forward while remaining true to who they are.

Wolves At The Gate have quietly and naturally evolved since their emergence out of the Midwest in 2008. Their vision unfolded across albums such as Captors [2012], VxV [2014], Types & Shadows [2016], Eclipse [2019], and Eulogies [2022]. Blabbermouth rated the latter "9.0-out-of-10.0," while mxdwn summed it up as "powerfully moving." Along the way, the group tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by the likes of "Counterfeit," "Deadman," "Lowborn," "Peace That Starts The War," and more. Not to mention, they've performed alongside everyone from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Red to Fit For A King, August Burns Red, and Born Of Osiris. In 2024, a core idea screamed out to guitarist Steve Cobucci, shaping the creative direction of the band's next evolution. It slowly, but surely seeped into the DNA of the music and his words. The band released WASTELAND the following year.

XTC's Colin Moulding releases 'Want It Bad' EP on 47th Anniversary of 'Making Plans for Nigel'

September 17, 2026

XTC founding member and acclaimed songwriter Colin Moulding releases the 'Want It Bad (The Pep Talks and Playing Fields of Old England)' EP, available on CD via Burning Shed on September 18th, marking 47 years to the week since the release of XTC's seminal single 'Making Plans for Nigel'.

Penned and sung by Moulding, 'Making Plans for Nigel' was the lead single from XTC's third studio album 'Drums and Wires' and became the band's first UK Top 20 hit. Nearly five decades on, its anniversary provides a fitting backdrop for the release of a new solo work from the songwriter whose distinctive melodic voice helped shape XTC's music and legacy.

Previewed by the title track and an accompanying video, shared last month, this EP offers a tantalising glimpse into the creative process of one of the UK’s finest songwriters, these three tracks offering a compact portrait of the ideas, inspirations and experiments behind the music.

At the EP's centre is 'Want It Bad', which began as a pep talk before taking on a broader meaning. Moulding shares, "Although this song started life as a sporting pep talk, it was clear that it could easy be thought of as a mantra for ones own life ambitions whatever they may be. If you want something in this life you have to really want it. And if you really want it, you’ll get it -- that was my mantra.

Moulding's distinctly English pop sensibility is present throughout the release, showcasing his English pop vision with XTC's trademark qualities of melody, rhythm, variety, and idiosyncratic subject matter, mixed in with nostalgia and a degree of pensiveness.

The artwork, created by Andrew Swainson, and video, created by Thomas Walsh, are derived from ‘Les Coureurs’ by Robert Delaunay, whose depiction of runners perfectly captured the spirit Moulding wanted to convey.

Moulding explains, "I was scouting around for a cover that would signify human endeavour. I had written 'Want It Bad', which basically amounted to a pep talk by a sporting coach to his team. Football perhaps... something made me think of the runners on the beach in the film “Chariots of Fire". After many permutations, Andrew, my artwork designer, said "What about Delaunay and his runners?" and when he showed me, there was no doubt. So it was derived from “Les Coureurs” by Robert Delaunay, a French painter from the early part of the twentieth century. Check him out!"

The second track, ‘Something About The Boy (James Bond Demo for Female Voice)’, reveals a very different side of Moulding's songwriting. Inspired by the James Bond films of his childhood, the song grew from a long-held ambition to one day work with legendary composer John Barry.

Moulding shares, "I was a big James Bond fan. My father had taken me to see the first three - 'Dr No', 'From Russia with Love', and 'Goldfinger'…..In the 1960’s. I had secretly nursed an ambition that one day John Barry and I would work on a theme together (hey ya got to have dreams kid!). So here then was my idea to put to John Barry. Only trouble was I had to sing it myself to demonstrate the female lead. The key could have been a problem, but it had not occurred to me. I’m still a dreamer even today."

The EP closes with ‘Want It Bad (Demo)’, an immediate document of the bare-bones initial phase of Colin's songwriting process. He notes, "Quite simply, it's my working demo knocked out in about an hour with a hand-held 57 microphone, different lyrics, and no bass. This is something for the musos, I guess."

The ‘Want It Bad’ CD is out on September 18th. Presented in a four-panel digisleeve, it is avaialble exclusively via Burning Shed, where 'The Hardest Battle' can also be obtained, along with music and merch from TC&I and Colin's other projects.

JADE EAGLESON & MIDLAND ARE “COMING SOON TO A HONKY TONK NEAR YOU” – OUT NOW

September 17, 2026

Jade Eagleson has never been interested in sanding down the edges of country music. Now, kicking off his next chapter with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, the award-winning artist teams up with neotraditional country revivalists Midland on “Coming Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You,” doubling down on the sound he has championed from the start. Available everywhere HERE.

Co-written by Eagleson, Matt Roy, Casey Brown and Travis Wood, the rowdy heartbreak anthem sends a newly single cowboy on an all-night barroom tour rather than home to nurse a broken heart. Produced by Todd Clark and Wood, the track was deliberately built to feel at home in the kind of honky tonks that first shaped Eagleson’s musical instincts, bringing fiddle and pedal steel to the forefront. Midland’s unmistakable harmonies meet Eagleson’s twang, pairing two acts united by a shared reverence for classic country.

“We really wanted this song to feel like you’re right inside some honky tonk in the middle of nowhere,” shares Eagleson. “From the writing to the musicians we brought in and the way we produced it, every choice was made with that in mind. It was important to me that it sound like the country music I grew up playing and still love today.”

For Eagleson, that commitment to country tradition predates the accolades that have followed. Raised on a family farm, he stepped away from some of his duties there in 2017 to pursue music full time, carrying with him a sound rooted in the country music he had long loved and played. When he began making trips to Nashville nearly a decade ago, Eagleson recalled being politely turned away by some in the music industry because what he was doing was considered “too country.” Rather than change his sound, he made it his calling card.

That conviction has since taken Eagleson from the farm to more than 430 million global streams, 130 million YouTube views and five No. 1s at Canadian Country Radio, alongside multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications. His self-titled 2020 debut introduced an artist intent on bringing neo-traditional country forward on his own terms, while subsequent releases continued to build a career around the steel, fiddle and storytelling at the center of his musical identity. His momentum continues this year, with Eagleson earning CCMA Award nominations for Male Artist of the Year and Fans’ Choice.

“This song marks the beginning of my next chapter musically, and I couldn’t be more excited,” says Eagleson. “Having Midland on it makes it even more special. I’ve been a fan since day one, and there ain’t too many folks out there that can twang like them.”

“Jade is cut from the same cloth as us. He’s a troubadour and a honky tonk revivalist taking traditional country music into the modern era,” says Midland’s Mark Wystrach. “He hit us up to join him on this up-tempo bar banger, and it was a no-brainer. He’s our little brother and a helluva artist. Midland x Jade Eagleson are comin’ to a honky tonk near you soon!”

With “Coming Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You,” Eagleson lets the sound that got him here lead the charge into his next chapter.

About Jade Eagleson
Jade Eagleson built his career by betting on the kind of country music he knew long before he had the accolades to prove the bet paid off. Raised on a family farm, Eagleson stepped away from some of his duties there in 2017 to pursue a longtime dream of making music, setting his sights on bringing neo-traditional country back to the forefront. Early trips to Nashville found some politely turning him away for being “too country,” but Eagleson never saw that as a reason to change course. His 2018 debut “Got Your Name On It” became his breakthrough, with its music video surpassing 100 million views and the song becoming the first debut single by a Canadian artist to achieve PLATINUM certification. Since then, Eagleson has amassed more than 430 million global streams, including 215 million in the United States, alongside 130 million YouTube views, five No. 1s at Canadian Country Radio and multiple GOLD and PLATINUM certifications across three albums. That commitment to the music that first shaped him remains at the center of Eagleson’s work today. With steel, fiddle and country storytelling as guideposts, the 2025 CCMA Male Artist of the Year and four-time JUNO Award nominee enters his next chapter with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville not by leaving his roots behind, but by taking them to a bigger stage with his latest release “Coming Soon To A Honky Tonk Near You” with Midland.

About Midland
Footloose and free, working hard and drinking harder, always riding into the sunset or sunrise, GRAMMY-nominated trio Midland makes country music feel viscerally alive and timeless, with songs for people to drink, swing, love and, yes, lose to. Name inspired by a Dwight Yoakam song, the Dripping Springs, TX-born trio channels a distinctly 21st century post-modern traditionalism, recapturing that classic country essence through thick harmonies, steel guitars and a worn-in cool that has made their music a dive bar staple worldwide. Honed in barrooms, it’s a sound that’s been imitated but never duplicated since their now 5X PLATINUM, No. 1 “Drinkin’ Problem.”

For Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy and Jess Carson, music isn’t just something to play in your car. It envelopes their aesthetics, from the Nudie Cohn-inspired rhinestone suits, their Insolito Tequila and Kingsmaker cigar line to their album-focused musical explorations and lean, song-forward live presentation. From head-turning debut On The Rocks through the Billboard Top Country Albums chart-topping Let It Roll and into The Last Resort: Greetings From and Barely Blue, Midland has built a catalog that bridges conceptual ambition with roots-driven songwriting, continuing through projects like The Sonic Ranch and Live From The Palomino. Alongside “Drinkin’ Problem,” their catalog also includes PLATINUM-certified “Burn Out” and GOLD-certified favorites “Cheatin’ Songs,” “Make A Little” and “On The Rocks.” The band's commitment to the sounds, stories and places that define country music persists on Stages, out now via Blue Highway Records. Braiding Laurel Canyon country-rock, Texas outliers, and a shot of vintage Nashville, the critically acclaimed project pulls together the many phases of their journey, further staking their claim as one of country’s most engaging acts.

Vana Releases New Single and Music Video - "Bleeding Heart"

September 16, 2026

Auckland-based industrial alt-pop artist Vana returns today with brand new single “Bleeding Heart”, out now via Sumerian Records. Following previous singles “Pray” and “In Your Name”, the release lands at the front end of a stacked US live run, with Vana hitting Riot Fest and Louder Than Life this weekend before joining the returning Hollywood Undead, In This Moment, I See Stars and Melrose Avenue on the returning Taste Of Chaos tour across the US beginning September 22.

Stream “Bleeding Heart” HERE and watch the official music video Below.

Since signing with Sumerian Records in 2025, Vana has been introducing the dark, lore-driven world surrounding her forthcoming debut album. Across “Pray” and “In Your Name” and their accompanying music videos, Vana has paired her signature blend of industrial alt-metal, pop, melodic hooks and visceral breakdowns with an expansive visual mythology rooted in gothic imagery, dark fantasy and the perspective of the misunderstood that Vana has been building across her recent work, opening another window into the lore surrounding her forthcoming debut album.

Inspired by the bleeding heart flower, Lamprocapnos spectabilis, “Bleeding Heart” draws a parallel between the cycle of a flower in bloom and the fragile, finite nature of human emotion. Speaking on her new single, Vana shares

"The song began with the flower itself, "Bleeding Heart" or *Lamprocapnos spectabilis*. This song showcases how feelings grow like flowers do; beautiful but destined to wither. Perhaps that's pessimistic, but flowers blossom just to die in winter, and they do it every year. I think there's a sort of beauty in that. This song and video further explores a world of oppression and betrayal. Adah can't hold us both. Hail Mara."

Earlier this year, Vana completed her first US headline run, The Lady In Red Tour, which sold over 15,000 tickets. Vana also just wrapped a completely sold out Australia tour that included support dates with Ocean Sleeper and also featured 2 sold out headline shows in Sydney & Melbourne, adding to a rapidly growing audience that includes more than 125 million cross-platform streams and over 1.4 million combined followers across TikTok and Instagram.

This weekend, Vana hits Louder Than Life in Louisville on September 18 and Riot Fest in Chicago on September 19 before joining Hollywood Undead and In This Moment on the returning Taste Of Chaos Tour, alongside I See Stars and Melrose Avenue. The 23-date run kicks off September 22 in Charlotte, North Carolina and wraps October 26 in Anaheim, California.

From there, Vana heads overseas for three shows in Japan with DEATHBYROMY and MAZE, before returning stateside for Vans Warped Tour Orlando on November 15. She’ll close out 2026 at Knotfest México in Mexico City on December 5, followed by ShipRocked 2027, sailing from Miami to Roatán and Cozumel January 24-30.

NYHC Crossover Pioneers CRO-MAGS Unleash New Version of 1985 Demo Favorite "Everybody's Gonna Die (2026)"

September 16, 2026

Today, September 16th, is the 40th anniversary of the iconic CRO-MAGS debut ‘The Age of Quarrel’ and the seminal New York hardcore outfit, fronted by Harley Flanagan, is proudly launching their new version of "Everybody's Gonna Die (2026).” Taken from the 1985 demo, and featured on the upcoming album 'The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel,' the track is a tribute to their unforgettable 1986 debut.

Written by Harley in 1985, "Everybody's Gonna Die" didn't make the final track list for 'The Age of Quarrel,' though it proved to be a demo-era fan favorite. Now, the track reclaims its rightful spot on 'The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel,' alongside an official lyric video.

Watch the Lyric Video for "Everybody's Gonna Die (2026)" Below:

Forty years ago, New York City's CRO-MAGS defined the metal-punk crossover with their landmark 1986 album, ‘The Age of Quarrel.’ The intensity, influence, and groove of that record continue to resonate today, fueled by the band's enduring legacy and hard-earned reputation as one of heavy music's most volatile and influential acts. Led by founding bassist and vocalist Harley Flanagan, who assumed frontman duties beginning with 1989's ‘Best Wishes,’ CRO-MAGS bring ‘The Age of Quarrel’ full circle with a celebration of the album that started it all.

Joining Flanagan are original ‘AOQ’ guitarist Doug Holland and former CRO-MAGS/ Suicidal Tendencies guitarist Rocky George, plus Meg Mills, Zach Blair, and Arthur Rizk for fresh takes on classics including "Hard Times," "World Peace," and "Malfunction," along with the addition of the 1985 demo-era favorite "Everybody's Gonna Die." Flanagan is also joined by current band members Dominic Dibenedetto and Dave Sharpe. Drums on all tracks were handled by drum phenom Greyson Nekrutman. Produced and mixed by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Blood Incantation), ‘40 Years of Quarrel’ not merely revisits a pivotal crossover classic, but pours new fuel on the fire for old devotees and new converts to the CRO-MAGS cause.

The decision to revisit 'The Age of Quarrel' began during the making of the "Wired for Chaos" documentary. Several songs had to be re-recorded for the film’s soundtrack because the original recordings couldn't be licensed, inspiring Harley Flanagan to re-record the entire album.

The project also provided an opportunity to address the complicated history surrounding the original record. None of the musicians who performed on 'The Age of Quarrel' were ever paid or received an accounting of the album’s sales. For years, Flanagan tried to reunite the original lineup to re-record the album and reclaim the rights to 'The Age of Quarrel' and 'Best Wishes' through the Copyright Reversion Act, but couldn't bring everyone together before that window closed.

For the new recording, Flanagan brought together friends, current bandmates, and musicians from other bands to celebrate an album that has impacted generations of fans. Forty years later, everyone who wrote the songs will finally be paid through ASCAP and BMI, with the remaining proceeds going to charity.

The project is Flanagan’s way of honoring the music, its creators, and the fans who have carried these songs forward for four decades while putting the past behind him. The songs belong to the fans. Love wins. The quarrel is over.

Pre-Order 'The Age of Quarrel: 40 Years of Quarrel' HERE

CRO-MAGS Live:

September 26 — Daytona Beach, FL @ Party Weekend

October 4 — Sacramento, CA @ Aftershock Festival

December 3-5 — Denver, CO @ Decibel Metal & Beer Fest

December 12 — Los Angeles, CA @ The Belasco - For the Children

More Dates TBA!

The history of Harley Flanagan and his band CRO-MAGS is integral not just to the history of hardcore, but to modern metal, rock, and punk itself. With roots stretching from the shadow of Warhol and the Velvets to CBGB’s hardcore matinees and L’Amour Brooklyn thrash-a-thons, all the way through current generations of punk and extreme metal, CRO-MAGS are the connective tissue. Just ask the likes of Dave Grohl, Green Day, and Turnstile. CRO-MAGSstand side by side with Black Sabbath, Motörhead, and Metallica as both an influence and a gamechanger.

The brainchild of a 14-year-old Harley Flanagan, CRO-MAGS began in 1981 while Flanaganwas playing drums for The Stimulators. By 1982/83, he had recorded the primal CRO-MAGSdemos — four songs that would become the blueprint for the seminal 1986 release, 'Age of Quarrel.' Initially a solo vision, Flanagan wrote and played all of the music himself. In 1985, alongside guitarist Parris Mayhew, vocalist John Joseph McGowan, and drummer Mackie Jayson, the genre-defining 'Age of Quarrel' demo was recorded. The full-length album followed in 1986, with Doug Holland of Kraut joining on second guitar.

Explosive both on and offstage, CRO-MAGS have had a tumultuous history, to put it mildly. Through multiple lineups, six studio albums beyond the original demos, and more than four decades of worldwide touring, CRO-MAGS remain one of the most iconic bands in American hardcore and metal.

EIVØR - finds solace within the imperfect in new song 'Spøkilsir / Revenants'

September 16, 2026

Faroese luminary singer-songwriter Eivør has unveiled a new track from her upcoming studio project, Tungl, due out on October 16th. Today's release Spøkilsir / Revenants weaves hypnotic dream-pop and trip-hop textures into an evocative meditation on embracing the ghosts of our past.

Eivør conveys about the song:
“In ‘Spøkilsir / Revenants,’ we find relief in the imperfect.

I think we all carry ghosts. Things in the past we would have liked to have handled differently or little flaws within ourselves we try to hide from the world. But often when we learn to fully embrace each other’s flaws, quirks and darker sides, they become endearing. We become more patient and forgiving, not only towards each other, but also towards ourselves.”

Eivør adds:

“The music video was created by my dear friend Gwenaël Akira, whose enthusiasm and dedication always make working with him inspiring. We wanted to create an inner world, a reflection of the voices, shadows and different versions of ourselves that live inside our heads. Gwenaël conceived a mirrored box, almost like a room inside the mind, and an incredible team of artists in the Faroe Islands brought it to life.”

Director Gwenaël Akira adds:
“At the heart of Spøkilsir was one constructed room: a space where one body could become many and reflections could express what cannot easily be said. Finding the emotional truth within those images with Eivør was a very special process.”

Pre-order Tungl here: https://eivor.bfan.link/tungl
Listen to Spøkilsir / Revenants here: https://eivor.bfan.link/spokilsir
Watch the Spøkilsir / Revenants video below:

Whether you’re already embedded into Eivør’s ever-expanding world or yet to fall under its spell, Tungl is a far-reaching journey of discovery.

Tungl – a Faroese word for ‘moon’ – sees Eivør reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.

Eivør spent this summer performing across Europe, presenting a select number of headline concerts and appearing at leading festivals including Paléo Festival, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze and ArcTanGent.

To celebrate the release of Tungl, Eivør will present three special album release concerts in October. Eivør will be playing two consecutive nights at Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, on 16 and 17 October, before she returns to Harpa's Eldborg Hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 23 October for a unique performance featuring special guest musicians in one of the Nordic region's most iconic concert halls. These intimate events will offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience Tungl performed in a special setting before Eivør embarks on her extensive international tour.

Eivør will also be undertaking an extensive headline tour across North America later this year, and across Europe and the UK into 2027.

For over two decades, Faroese artist Eivør has been regarded as one of the most bewitching and fearless voices to have emerged from the Nordic music scene. Ranging across rock, pop noir, jazz and folk to electronica over the course of 11 solo albums, various collaborations, live albums and soundtrack work including The Last Kingdom, God of War and God of War Ragnarök, her musical path has revealed both a restless, explorative spirit and a singer deeply connected to her Faroese roots, earning her the Nordic Council Music Prize along the way.

It’s testament to the singular yet universal nature of her music that her fanbase has grown to include metalheads and the Norse pagan folk scene – for whom her startling voice, hide drum and throat-chant incantation, Trøllabundin, has become an unofficial anthem – as well as the mainstream, all instinctively understanding that music coming from a place of true authenticity knows no boundaries.

If Eivør’s last album, Enn, marked the beginning of a darker, more atmospheric phase, her forthcoming release, Tungl – the Faroese word for ‘moon’ – and her first for the powerhouse German metal label Nuclear Blast, sees her reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.

As Eivør herself says:

“Tungl explores the ever-changing cycles of life – its songs move between moments of tenderness and heartache, love and loss, and the emotional tides that shape us. Like the moon that inspired its title, Tungl serves as a gentle guide through life’s darker passages, illuminating the beauty, resilience, and transformation found along the way.”

IAN BLURTON'S FUTURE NOW Release "Siren Of The Song," Announce Album Imperial Filth

September 16, 2026

IAN BLURTON'S FUTURE NOW return with "Siren Of The Song," the first single to land from the forthcoming full length venture, Imperial Filth. Delivering guitar-led rock with lashings of overdrive, "Siren Of The Song" brings a wall of rhythms, charismatic melodies and a warm analogue sound. Imperial Filth is schedule for release via Pajama Party on October 23, 2026.

Ian Blurton comments on the new single:
"'Siren Of The Song' is a riff fest that connects the unlikely dots between Cheap Trick, Slayer, Voivod and ZZ Top and includes 3 guitar solos in 3 minutes. It seemed like a good first single as it encompasses influences from 4 of our favourite bands."

"1/2 of Imperial Filth was recorded with no click, 80% of it was live off the floor using real British tube amps and no drum samples or AI". Explains Burton. "We tried to go for a live feel as much as possible, left in a human touch and then overdubbed upon the bed tracks. This record has a bit more of a proggy feel than our last LP as we wanted to explore arrangements that lived outside the world of verse/chorus/verse/chorus/bridge/chorus.

We loved working with Daryl Smith and he really helped let us focus on the playing while he took care the sounds."

Produced by Daryl Smith and Ian Blurton at Blurton's very own ProGold Studios, Toronto. Imperial Filth was mixed by Daryl Smith at Chemical West and Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Special guests appearing on Imperial Filth include guitarist Liam Deak of TUMBLE and Lee Rose of ACE OF WANDS performing strings. Cover art for Imperial Filth is by Lydia Sam Planetta and the layout design is by Louis Durand.

Upcoming Canadian Tour Dates:

Sat Oct 24 - Toronto - St Anne's Church
Fri Nov 13 - London - Supply and Demand
Sat Nov 14 - Montreal - Turbo Haus
Fri Nov 20 - Ottawa - House Of Targ
Sat Nov 28 - Sudbury - The Lounge

CORONER Announces USA Co-Headliner with NILE

September 16, 2026

Next spring, NILE and technical thrash pioneer CORONER take on North America together: a co-headline run that puts two of metal's most singular forces on the same stage every night, with strong guest support from SYN ABSENCE and one more special guest to be announced! The trek will kick off on March 2, 2027 in Greenville, SC and will conquer the states until it ceases fire on April 11 in Leesburg, VA. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets will be made available HERE.

Both bands arrive with their latest albums fully integrated into the live arsenal - Nile's 'The Underworld Awaits Us All' and Coroner's 'Dissonance Theory' – alongside the legendary material both bands built their names on: live, sharp, and carrying both the weight of their history and the force of what they have become.

Underworld Dissonance brings both catalogues to 31 stages across the United States: two headline sets a night, for full impact from coast to coast.

'Dissonance Theory' was released worldwide on October 17, 2025 via Century Media Records. It can be ordered, streamed, or downloaded HERE.

'Dissonance Theory' contains ten new songs across 47 minutes, recorded by Tommy Vetterli at New Sound Studios in Switzerland and mixed/mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden (Opeth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, etc.).

'Dissonance Theory,' in totality, is rich in sonic detail, a stereophile’s delight. Part of that can be attributed to the expert mixing/mastering by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. But the production, arrangement and soundscape details are largely the work of Vetterli and a longtime creative partner at his own New Sound studio. Vetterli notes, “At some point, I felt something was missing — a kind of creative counterweight. Someone to reflect things back with a fresh, critical ear. That’s when I brought in a longtime collaborator I’ve worked with for years at my studio. He helped push things into new territory and gave me the clarity and momentum Dissonance Theory needed to move forward. We made a point throughout the production to record as many authentic, organic sounds as possible. The studio was packed with tube amps, analog synths, and vintage instruments — including a harmonium and a grand piano — and we put them all to good use. We've worked together on many other productions, so the trust was already there. We get into that whole collaboration — and how it evolved — more deeply in the CD mediabook edition.”

Coroner are offering a work that proves they know themselves and what their band should sound like. No Coroner fan could possibly be disappointed in Dissonance Theory. It’s like a massive bonus from a band we all thought had spent their creative energies decades ago. “They don’t make albums like this anymore”. Ever heard that one? Coroner proves they were not only always in metal’s top tier, but that anything less than a ferocious return such as this would never have been the Coroner way.

Lineup:

Ron Royce - Bass/vocals

Tommy T. Baron - Guitars

Diego Rappachietti - Drums

Recording: Tommy Vetterli at New Sound Studios in Switzerland

Mixing + Mastering: Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden

GRAVE DIGGER Set to Release New Album Faces Of Pain in January 2027

September 16, 2026

German heavy metal legends GRAVE DIGGER return with a brand-new studio album: Faces of Pain will be released on January 15, 2027 via Reaper Entertainment. The striking cover artwork was created by Uwe Jarling.

For more than four decades, GRAVE DIGGER have been one of the defining forces of German heavy metal. From classics such as Heavy Metal Breakdown and Tunes of Warto the immortal anthem “Rebellion (The Clans Are Marching)”, the band around frontman Chris Boltendahl have played a major role in shaping the sound of German heavy metal.

Following the straightforward old-school approach of their 45th-anniversary album Bone Collector, GRAVE DIGGER are now ready for the next chapter. Faces of Pain consistently continues down this path, presenting the band as energetic, uncompromising and diverse as ever.

Chris Boltendahl comments:

“The time has finally come: With our new album 'Faces of Pain', we are opening the next furious chapter. This record is filled with an incredible amount of heart, sweat and pure passion. How can the result best be described?

What lies behind us was an extraordinary creative effort. In particular, my collaboration with Tobias Kersting on guitar has grown incredibly strong and developed into a deeply rooted creative partnership. His riffs, my lyrics and our shared vision unleashed an incredible dynamic. The result is a mature yet highly explosive late-career work that uncompromisingly combines all the classic trademarks our fans have loved for decades.

Faces of Pain shows us at our most diverse in a long time. Grave Digger consistently follow their very own style – a style we have shaped ourselves over the years. The remarkable thing is that we never copy ourselves for a single second, yet every song and every note unmistakably carries the band’s typical, mighty sound. Get ready for a true metal monster!”

Razor-sharp riffs, massive choruses and Chris Boltendahl’s unmistakably rough vocals form the foundation of the album. Fast-paced heavy metal bangers such as “Faces of Pain” and “Satan’s Tango” meet riff-driven mid-tempo anthems including “The Number”, “Legends Never Die” and “When The World Is Calling You”. With “Dead Sun” and “Say Hello To The Devil”, the band also reveals a particularly heavy and dark side.

More than 45 years after their formation, GRAVE DIGGER are clearly nowhere near ready to call it a day. Faces of Pain is an album full of energy and classic heavy metal – firmly rooted in the band’s history, yet with its sights set firmly on the future.

The album was produced by Chris Boltendahl at Graveyard Studios in Senden, Germany. The cover artwork was created by Uwe Jarling.

Starting in January 2027, GRAVE DIGGER will also bring the new material to the stage. On the “Legends Never Die Tour”, fans can experience the unbroken live power of this German heavy metal institution.

Thy Catafalque Announce New Album 'XIII: Sárga erdő"

September 16, 2026

Today, Thy Catafalque, the two-time Fonogram winning project of Tamás Kátai, is announcing its thirteenth album, XIII: Sárga erdő.

On XIII: Sárga erdő (Yellow Forest), Kátai wanders through an old, half-remembered time from a quietly expansive direction. Thy Catafalque’s new album features more than 30 collaborators, including a 20-person choir and, for the first time in the project’s history, a live drummer. However, the folk and classical elements that flooded 2024’s XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek are handled here with a lighter touch. Just as a forest doesn't explain its colors, the album turns inside you, until you look up to discover that you’re somewhere new.

Watch the music video for lead single “Búcsú a piros madártól” below:

XIII: Sárga erdő comes out November 20, 2026 on Season of Mist.

Written and produced by Kátai, lead single "Búcsú a piros madártól" (A Farewell to the Red Bird) opens XIII: Sárga erdő on a note of departure and resignation. A voice calls after something already gone, its sound swallowed by fog and distance. Live drums sit under layered vocals, kamancheh and lead guitar, giving the song a heavier, more physical pull than its title suggests.

Kátai shot the music video for "Búcsú a piros madártól" himself in the woods a 10-minute walk from his family home in Makó, Hungary. Sitting beside the river Maros, these woods are the same stretch of ground where Thy Catafalque’s very first video was filmed 25 years ago (and where another is already in the works).

In the video, live footage from Thy Catafalque's shows in Brazil, France and Hungary is cut together with hand-made and digital animation, left rough by design. "I wanted to keep it that way," Kátai says, "because it has a more personal touch."

Sárga erdő, out this autumn via Season of Mist, was recorded across various locations and at Miracle Sound Szeged with Gábor Vári again handling engineering, mixing and mastering. It marks another first for the project: real drums, played rather than programmed, for the first time in Thy Catafalque's history. Thirty-four musicians and vocalists appear across the record, along with a twenty-voice male choir, but the folk and classical textures that flooded XII—sitar, kamancheh, zither, strings—are handled with a lighter touch here, chosen with more precision for the moments that call for them. There's no unifying story across the twelve tracks, only that same felt sense of wandering through old, half-remembered time. A forest doesn't explain its colours—it just keeps turning them, until you look up and you're standing somewhere new.

Tamás Kátai — Guitar, Bass, Keyboards & Vocals

THE STARS AND PLANETS ALIGN ONCE AGAIN AS KELLY DECO AND EMMY AWARD-WINNING ARTIST WAYNE WHITE UNITE FOR "KNOW REALITY"

September 16, 2026

Steeped in the magic and mystery of an artist's life navigating the machinery of Hollywood, vintage-futurism storyteller Kelly Deco continues his journey through space and time with imaginative tales inspired by the figures we sometimes see in the sky and know in our hearts.

His album Constellation was produced by legendary Grammy Award-winning producer Val Garay (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Kim Carnes) and featured one of the final original artworks created by renowned artist Ioannis (Deep Purple, Alan Parsons Project, Styx). The album's exploration of time's endless progression—from past to present to future—continues with Venus, a collection of songs that serves as both a reflection and a warning, highlighting how history, human behavior, and political climates often repeat themselves.

As a rare six-planet parade once again graces the skies, the stars have aligned to bring together Kelly Deco and Emmy Award-winning artist Wayne White for the video "Know Reality." White, the acclaimed American painter, puppeteer, animator, cartoonist, and illustrator, is celebrated for his distinctive visual style and groundbreaking work directing and creating memorable music videos and television projects.

The collaboration perfectly complements Kelly Deco's unique artistic vision, blending cosmic storytelling with striking visual imagery.

Watch the "Know Reality" video below:

An archive of Kelly Deco's lifelong songwriting adventures, the music of Venusspeaks directly to the world around us. Each song offers its own artistic interpretation of reality while exploring themes of life, love, galactic exploration, and the social and political landscape of our time. Together, these songs continue the vintage-futurism narrative that has become a hallmark of Kelly Deco's work.
