ALCATRAZZ Release the Re-Record of "Jet To Jet" and Announce the album PRIOR CONVICTIONS on BraveWords Records

BraveWords Records releases the re-record of "Jet To Jet" by Alcatrazz. The single is available on all digital services. "Jet To Jet" has been one of my favorite Alcatrazz songs all of my life, even if the riff is a little similar to Rainbow's "Spotlight Kid"!... actually, it's like "Spotlight Kid" on steroids!!! What a great song and so much fun to perform live... I hope everyone checks out and enjoys our new 2025 version of this Alcatrazz 1983 classic! - Giles Lavery.

Alcatrazz "Jet To Jet" video below.

Stream or Purchase Alcatrazz "Jet To Jet": https://smarturl.it/jettojet

In advance of their forthcoming 2026 studio album, Alcatrazz reveal a new release to land just in time for their extensive November/December European tour. PRIOR CONVICTIONS contains newly re-recorded versions of nine 1980s era Alcatrazz songs, all featuring new vocalist Giles Lavery. Plus two brand new band compositions “Transylvanian Requiem” and “Stand And Wait Your Turn”.

These new versions of classic Alcatrazz tunes (plus the pair of new songs) continue the powerful hard hitting metal direction Alcatrazz have demonstrated since reactivating in 2020! This is now their forth release this decade, and the band show no signs of winding down any time soon!

"Shredlord" Joe Stump delivers hi-octane intensity with his neo-classical approach to the guitar…

While founding members Jimmy Waldo and Gary Shea continue the Alcatrazz musical legacy they started in 1983! Giles Lavery (Warlord/Jack Starr/Dragonsclaw) honors that same muscial legacy of these classic metal anthems and proves that he is indeed the right choice to take the band forward into their next Heavy Metal chapter!

Dizzy shares, "The song is about working our asses off and never actually seeing any money at all. And starting off our lives with incomprehensible debt from the cost of our education to do something else altogether while being pummeled with information about what we should like, want and need. The music was born from my love of metal and my hero John Lord. Thank you Johnny Kelly, Mike Duda and Jason for making it like it needed to be."

Eli Young Band’s New Album, ‘Strange Hours,’ Out Now

18x RIAA-certified country hitmakers Eli Young Band launch a new era with Strange Hours, out now. As the band’s first independently released album via UnLevel Records and their first full-album release in over three years, Eli Young Band shares why they keep Strange Hours. Listen to the album below.
 
Strange Hours comprises 13 songs, all co-written as a band or with long-trusted collaborators, and introduces a new chapter driven by experience and a million miles of wisdom, from a band of brothers who grew from hometown heroes into globe-trotting, chart-topping pioneers still very much in their prime. Eric Arjes and Jimmy Robbins produced 12 of the 13 tracks, while “Bad Luck” was produced by Julian Raymond and Scott Borchetta. 

“We started this thing when we were like 20 years old, and it’s been such a crazy road and such a longer road than any of us could have conceptualized at the time,” says bassist Jon Jones. “I think right now feels a little full circle, in a really nice way.”
 
Seeking both a fresh start and a return to their roots with this project, the never-changing lineup of Mike Eli, James Young, Jon Jones and Chris Thompson sought out Panhandle House Studio in their hometown of Denton, Texas – the birthplace of the college friends-turned-bandmates’ 2005 debut album Level, which spawned fan-favorites such as “Small Town Kid” and set the stage for the numerous hits that have followed in the 20 years since.
 
“Now, we get to step back into our Texas shoes,” vocalist Eli agrees. “I think this new stuff finds us reaching deep into our past as a band. We’re remembering where the magic was – all those songs we wanted to record for our Level record, that felt way too edgy for Country Radio at the time.”
 
For the band, being independent again for the first time in years isn’t a challenge, it’s a reward – and they took the chance to embrace not just renewed creative freedom, but the fun of their self contained live-band philosophy. 
 
“Going back to Panhandle House where we recorded Level, it feels like we got to remind ourselves why we started making the kind of music we make,” Eli says. “When this music comes out, I think fans will know it is 100% coming from us.”
 
“Honestly, going to Panhandle House feels like going back to your childhood home in a way,” Jones notes. “It just evokes these memories, like this slightly-younger version of ourselves comes out.”
 
“One thing that’s really special is we’ve come full circle and remember that energy, but we’re also older and wiser,” drummer Thompson adds. “We have years of studio, songwriting and performing experience under our belt, so we have more of a honed edge going in. That’s a really cool advantage.”
 
The comfort level is plainly evident. Exploring new corners of their patented sound by day, and going home to their families each night, the band members were free to bring every ounce of the last 25 years to bear. Tracks like the lead single “Home In Hometown” are proof, featuring all the elements that made EYB what it is – from the electric vocal delivery to the deeply textured sonics and soulful theme.
 
A true-to-experience ballad of life on the highway, “Home In Hometown” stands as a heart-on-their-sleeve tribute to those the band loves most – and what they’ve learned from 20+ years away. While atmospheric guitars and a steady rhythmic pulse capture a sense of anticipation, another euphoric chorus helps the band unpack what “home” really means.
 
“I was digging deep into our Texas roots,” Eli says of the modern-classic midtempo. “I wanted to write something that felt like Pat Green or Jack Ingram would cut. And when you travel like we do, a lot of times you’re thinking about coming home and being with your family – but, it’s almost like if they meet you on the road, anywhere can be home. It just feels right. I wanted to capture that.”
 
Strange Hours also includes a head-nodding, foot-tapping feature from Corey Kent in “Whiskey Told Ya” as Kent delivers humorous lyrics with raspy vocals throughout the track that lyricizes the story of when alcohol meets honesty:

From feel-good singalongs and heart melting wedding anthems to pure, untamable romance and clever comebacks of love, they show the same stage-rocking Texas-country hit makers fans know and love, undaunted and with new maturity baked in.
 
“It’s been a blessing just to be able to do this for so long, and over our career we’ve seen a lot of bands come and go,” guitarist Young says. “This feels like family, and we can take that with us as we go down this next part of the road.”
 
“Our music, since it’s been the four of us making it from day one, has such a strong through line,” Jones agrees. “The way we sounded in the beginning, that’s the way we’re going to sound in the end.”
 
As the ACM Award-winning and CMA and GRAMMY-nominated band unveils their newest project, they also continue on a celebratory road journey with their headlining Strange Hours Tour, underway now. The thrilling foursome return to their element – packing a live-show setlist with No. 1 smashes like the 5x Platinum single “Crazy Girl,” 3x Platinum “Even If It Breaks Your Heart,” 2x Platinum “Love Ain’t” and Platinum “Drunk Last Night.”

ZETRA - Release Dreamlike Video For 'The Spider'

Enigmatic synth rock duo, ZETRA, have released a dreamlike video for their crushingly beautiful single 'The Spider'. Alongside other recent single 'So', 'The Spider' is taken from their forthcoming EP 'Believe', set to be released digitally on August 22nd via Nuclear Blast Records.

Watch the video for 'The Spider' below.

On 'The Spider', ZETRA commented:

The silken strands entice you, but do not linger.
Will you climb to brighter heights?
Or descend into madness.
And ever he waits.
And ever he watches."

Genre-Bending Pop Rock Band ALLBROOK STATION Release New Single "SHARPSHOOTER" via SAMSA ​

Rising pop rock trailblazers ALLBROOK STATION have officially released their bold new single, "SHARPSHOOTER," available now on all streaming platforms via SAMSA/Create Music Group. The explosive track is from the band’s highly anticipated album All We Have Is Pain, set for release in 2026.

"I wrote 'Sharpshooter' at a point where I was finally done romanticizing a relationship that had already done enough damage. There’s that phase after a breakup where you start questioning everything—did I mess up, do they miss me, should I have fought harder? This song came after all that. It’s when the fog clears and you realize, “Wait, no. I actually don’t miss you anymore," shares Burke Louis.

He adds, "By the time I finished this song, I didn’t care who they were with now or what version of themselves they were trying to be. It was like—cool, go be someone else’s problem. I wasn’t gonna reload, rewind, or relive any of it. 'Sharpshooter' is just me finally saying—you weren’t worth my time then, you’re certainly not worth my future now."

“SHARPSHOOTER” showcases ALLBROOK STATION's signature genre-blurring sound, blending pop sensibilities with high-octane rock energy and emotionally-charged lyricism. The track sets a fiery tone for what fans can expect from the band’s upcoming full-length release.

Fans can stream “SHARPSHOOTER” now! Stay tuned for more updates!

Following the explosive comeback single "Bang," "The Chosen One" delivers another taste of an incredible record — the first Sweet Savage studio album in 14 years.

Australian Rock Sensation CASSIDY PARIS Unveils New Single "Stronger" Featuring Special Guest Pete Lesperance + Visualizer

Today, Australian rock sensation CASSIDY PARIS is thrilled to unveil her new single, “Stronger,” featuring a special guest appearance by Pete Lesperance of Harem Scarem, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. "Stronger" arrives accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.

CASSIDY comments on the new single:

“This is a song about my experiences in life dealing with situations that can be difficult to get through. I thought it would be only fitting to record this as it's become an anthem to remind me that in life there will always be people who try and bring you down. I love performing this song on stage with my dad and Wicked Smile, even though some people thought I didn't belong here. A big thanks to all the people who got behind me on this and helped put my own stamp on this song - my dad, Paul Laine, Pete Lesperance, Pete Newdeck, Harry Hess & Frontiers Music.”

Watch the Visualizer for “Stronger"

As a teenager growing up in Australia, there’s likely very few others out there with ambitions of being a “rock star.” Especially considering rock music isn’t exactly regarded by the mainstream as the “coolest” thing in the 2020’s. However, 22 year old CASSIDY PARIS is an exception.

CASSIDY is determined to make rock music a ‘cool’ thing again and inspire a new generation of younger fans to not only listen to rock ‘n’ roll, but maybe even pick up a guitar, instead of a phone.

At the age of 11, CASSIDY met singer songwriter Paul Laine (ex Danger Danger, The Defiants), who developed a unique mentoring role. Paul took CASSIDY under his wing to help develop her as an artist and songwriter, collaborating with her in songwriting and producing her music.

From early on, CASSIDY has wanted to deliver a strong message through her music. In 2018 she released the song “Stand,” a heartfelt song about standing up for yourself as a young woman.

CASSIDY continues to deliver that message, promoting anti-bullying through performances at many schools around Melbourne, Australia and is an active campaigner for the worldwide ‘Metalheads Against Bullying’ organization. CASSIDY has also built up a strong connection with her growing worldwide fanbase that has already seen her perform in America, Japan and the UK with the band.

CASSIDY PARIS released her debut full length album titled ‘New Sensation’ in December 2023 to critical acclaim. “My debut album is 80s infused, mixed with a current vibe. Influenced by Rock Gods such as Debbie Harry, Pat Benatar, Joan Jett & Lita Ford, I'm keen to put my spin on things in a modern original way”, she declared.

CASSIDY PARIS recently embarked on a European Tour where she supported AOR legends Harem Scarem in April 2025. She also performed at festivals such as Frontiers Rock Festival Italy and Chti Rock France. CASSIDY is looking forward to performing at the Monsters Of Rock Cruise in 2026 and returning to the UK for a full headline tour.

CASSIDY is endorsed by Fender Guitars, Ernie Ball & Wornstar Clothing.

Cassidy Paris - vocals

Pete Lesperance - guitar solo

Stevie Janevski - guitar & bass

Paul Laine - keyboards & backing vocals

Sainthood Reps Release New Single "Dizzy" + Announce Upcoming Album "Dull Bliss" via Smartpunk Records

Sainthood Reps announce their new album "Dull Bliss" coming out on September 26 via Smartpunk Records. Since the late 2000s, Sainthood Reps have been known for their unique and dreamy blend of grunge, post-hardcore, and shoegaze; their mastery in the genre is more evident than ever on their new single "Dizzy" below.

According to the band, each song on the new album is either about dullness, pure bliss, a juxtaposition of those two feelings, or how those feelings can be one in the same.

Pre-save the album here.

Speaking about the new single, Sainthood Reps vocalist and guitarist Cesco Montesanto shares, "This is the last song we wrote for the record, and it almost didn't make it. It started out much heavier, but then drifted into Gin Blossoms/Nada Surf territory. A lot of my lyrics revolve around anxiety in some way, and this song is no different. Specifically, it’s about the anxiety I get when I try to open my mouth to talk to anybody about anything whatsoever."

ABOUT SAINTHOOD REPS
Sainthood Reps have been known for their unique blend of grunge, post-hard, and shoegaze since the late 2000’s. After releasing Monoculture in 2011, Headswell in 2013, and a couple of singles here and there, the band spent several years pursuing other projects before eventually regrouping during COVID. Since 2022, the band has been in and out of the studio compiling new music that marks a definitive step forward without straying too far from their signature sound. 

Sainthood Reps consists of Derrick Sherman, Cesco Montesanto, Bradley Cordaro, and Jani Zubkovs, with Chris Smith featuring in live performances.

Finnish Rock Band SHIRAZ LANE Announces New Album ‘In Vertigo’ Set for Release on October 24, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, the Finnish rock band SHIRAZ LANE is pleased to announce the release of their new studio album, 'In Vertigo,' on October 24, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announcement, the band also shares its new single “Come Alive” alongside a visualizer, available below.

SHIRAZ LANE comments on the new track:

“'Come Alive' is the perfect summer banger built on an irresistible groove. It’s the ultimate soundtrack for letting loose and living in the heat of the moment. The track has all the elements for a true SHIRAZ LANE classic - a quirky, distinctive guitar riff, seductive song structure, and an anthemic singalong chorus. The explosive production and addictive hooks make it a standout song. With this wild and untamed energy, we invite you to 'Come Alive' with us and enjoy the rush of pure Rock N’ Roll!”

Check Out the Visualizer for "Come Alive"

‘In Vertigo’ marks a bold new chapter in SHIRAZ LANE’s evolution. It’s an ambitious, modern, and emotionally charged rock album born from relentless creativity, exploration and collaboration.

'In Vertigo' was produced and co-written once again by longtime collaborator Per Aldeheim(Def Leppard, H.E.A.T, Pain). Packed with razor-sharp hooks, soaring melodies and high-octane attitude, 'In Vertigo' pushes the band’s sound into exciting new territory, fusing pop-metal energy with a modern production edge and fearless genre crossovers.

Preceded by the explosive singles “Dangerous,” “Bullsh!t,” and the emotionally charged “Plastic Heart,” the album showcases SHIRAZ LANE’s evolution while staying true to their raw rock roots.

With Aldeheim’s polished yet powerful production and standout performances by Hannes Kett (vocals), Jani Laine (lead guitar), Miki Kalske (rhythm guitar), Joel Alex (bass), and Ana Vilkkumaa (drums), 'In Vertigo' is the band’s most daring and dynamic release to date.

Brilliantly unpredictable and unapologetically melodic, 'In Vertigo' proves that SHIRAZ LANEis not just riding the wave of modern melodic rock, they’re reshaping it!

Pre-Order 'In Vertigo' HERE

Hailing from Vantaa, Finland, SHIRAZ LANE started their musical journey in 2011. Their vision of a perfect blend of sonic combustion and elegant delicacy started to blossom and reach its potential when the current line-up was solidified in 2014 and the band released their first EP'Be The Slave Or Be The Change.'

The band gained great international attention from the very beginning, and soon the young Finns were flying from Japan to South America, playing in Europe’s coolest clubs & summer festivals and had their warm first contact also with the US audience on the Monsters of Rockcruise.

SHIRAZ LANE resonates through their double-edged guitar sound (provided by Jani Laineand Miki Kalske), percussive ground-pounding clockwork (Ana Vilkkumaa, drums & Joel Alex, bass) and the supersonic melodies chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. They are one of the most intriguing and entertaining bands in the current Hard Rock scene, bringing in a fresh breeze in terms of both compositions and live performance.

In addition to their debut EP, other most notable releases include the albums 'For Crying Out Loud,' 'Carnival Days,' 'Vibration I,' 'Forgotten Shades Of Life' and 'Acoustic Archives.'

Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their predecessors, the sound and style of SHIRAZ LANE is unique, bold and contemporary. This has manifested in collaborations such as extensive international touring (sharing stages with bands such as KISS, Deep Purple, H.E.A.T & Crashdïet), national TV appearances, the gaming world and, most importantly, an exponentially growing & dedicated fanbase around the world.

SHIRAZ LANE are:

Hannes Kett – Vocals

Jani Laine – Guitar

Miki Kalske – Guitar

Joel Alex – Bass

Ana Vilkkumaa – Drums

HELLOWEEN Take Fans On Fantastical Journey With Lyric Video For New Long-Track ‘"Universe (Gravity For Hearts)"

Strap on your astronaut helmets and say sayonara to Japan! HELLOWEEN are blasting off, leaving behind the electrifying energy of their powerful lead single "This Is Tokyo" and setting a course for something even more spectacular: outer space.
 
Written by guitarist Sascha Gerstner, "Universe (Gravity For Hearts)" is a stunning, cinematic journey that does more than evoke the vast mystery of the cosmos. It reminds us of the boundless possibilities that lie beyond our world. The universe is an endless expanse, a place where it’s easy to get lost in thought, but also where we can tap into unknown energy and find the strength to overcome life’s greatest challenges.
 
HELLOWEEN’s latest single is a wild, emotional ride and a powerful reminder of something we too often forget: never stop dreaming.
 
“Everything in the universe is connected, and what looks like infinite stars could in reality be moments, hearts, and choices,” explains Gerstner.
 
"Universe (Gravity For Hearts)" opens with spacey guitar work and Michael Kiske’s signature high-pitched yet deeply soulful vocals, just before a thunderstorm of guitars, bass, and drums launches the 8.5-minute epic into full motion. It’s a high-speed musical escape from everyday life, crafted in the unmistakable style only the German metal legends can deliver.
 
Breathing room is a rare commodity in HELLOWEEN’s world, and their new track is no exception. With relentless drumming, intergalactic guitar tapping, and a jaw-dropping solo section, "Universe (Gravity For Hearts)" confidently joins the ranks of iconic long-form tracks like "Halloween,’" "Keeper Of The Seven Keys," and 2021’s "Skyfall."
 
So buckle up and enjoy the ride!
 
Watch the lyric video Below.

HELLOWEEN will celebrate four decades of metal mastery with a global 40th anniversary tour. The European leg begins in mid-October, with initial dates selling out quickly and additional shows in Madrid and Bochum already on sale. Featuring an ultimate set list packed with surprises, the tour will showcase the band’s unparalleled legacy and ongoing creative power.
 
Giants & Monsters pushes the boundaries of HELLOWEEN’s sound, thanks to the instincts of producers Charlie Bauerfeind and Dennis Ward, as well as the band’s relentless pursuit of excellence. Per example, drummer Dani Löble recorded all tracks using three different drum kits to capture the perfect vibe for each song, a testament to their attention to detail and love of experimentation.
 
The band’s chemistry continues to drive their success. “What keeps motivating us is the fact that we’re extremely different. It generates creative energy,” says guitarist Michael Weikath. Kai Hansen adds: “We try not to take ourselves and everything around us too seriously.” Deris sums it up: “In the end, we’re just seven guys who want to make music and enjoy the incomparable force that arises when we’re together. HELLOWEEN is way more powerful than the sum of its parts.”
 
With Giants & Monsters, HELLOWEEN boldly step into their fifth decade, proving once again why they remain one of the most influential and beloved bands in heavy metal.
 
Mixed at the legendary Wisseloord Studios in Hilversum, Netherlands (IRON MAIDEN, JUDAS PRIEST, DEF LEPPARD etc.), Giants & Monsters reaffirms the band’s position at the pinnacle of the metal world. Pre-order/pre-save Giants & Monsters: https://helloween.rpm.link/giantsmonstersPR

CHRONICLER OF ARDUL Unveils "Woodlands"

Dark fantasy infused symphonic death metal is the offering from CHRONICLER OF ARDUL. In the new single "Woodlands", composer and project mastermind David Williams extends an invitation to venture into a magical, orchestral led soundscape. It's serene and ethereal, yet something sinister lies beneath. Stream "Woodlands" Below.

"Delving deeper into the world of Ardul, 'Woodlands' captures the experience of wandering into the forest. Dark and mysterious, beautiful, and yet not comforting. There are dangers lurking in the shadows. Nature is unforgiving."

David Williams continues, "My next album will expand on the world already established by the symphonic death metal releases of Myrewood and Sword of Virné, as well as the short stories detailing further the events of the Myrewood's corruption. It will draw inspiration from countless video games and movies that had amazing music bring their worlds to life, such as Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda, Lord of the Rings, and Octopath Traveler."

About CHRONICLER OF ARDUL:
CHRONICLER OF ARDUL was started as a passion project by David Williams when he wanted to combine his love of metal music and dark fantasy to tell a story that spanned over songs and albums. After graduating from Berklee College of Music, he puts his skills to the test to create the music for a story he had been working on for 9 years. The debut EP called Myrewood released late 2023, with its written short story partner, Myrewood Part 1, published in May 2024. The following EP, Sword Of Virné arrived in the summer of 2024. Musically, CHRONICLER OF ARDUL draws from the likes of SHADOW OF INTENT and MENTAL CRUELTY in the metal world, while also taking inspiration from Japanese composer Nobuo Uematsu.

INNERWISH Unleash Spy-Thriller Anthem with New Single ‘The Enemy Inside’

INNERWISH return with "The Enemy Inside," a spine-tingling ride through the shadowy world of espionage, laced with thunderous riffs and an irresistible groove that will burrow deep into your brain. With lyrics inspired by the moral complexities of spy life - most notably portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s “Munich” - the new single fuses classic heavy metal power with cinematic storytelling and an unmistakable nod to metal giants ACCEPT.

"Well, we love ACCEPT,” states the band. “And songs like this one show our love for their characteristic straightforward riffing. Almost in every album of ours, we have a song of that type. Never the same, yet the influence and inspiration is there. What can we do? We love that groovy metal! The lyrics are actually inspired by the movie “Munich” and the life of spies, plus the continuing moral dilemmas occurring through their decisions and acts.”

Watch the lyric video Below.

The Estes Method Unleashed a Torrent of Raw Emotion with NEW SINGLE “WITHERING AWAY”

Emerging from the shadows of heartbreak, fury, and self-reckoning, The Estes Method has arrived with their most haunting and powerful release to date: “Withering Away.”This brand-new single is a relentless sonic exorcism—an anthem for those who’ve walked through fire and come out burned but breathing.

Fusing jagged riffs, pulse-pounding drums, and soul-tearing vocals, “Withering Away” delivers a visceral gut punch wrapped in cinematic atmosphere. It’s the sound of drowning in your own mind, clawing at the walls of isolation, and finding the strength to scream through the silence.

The Estes Method doesn't just perform music

—they bleed it.

"Withering Away" captures the slow, internal collapse that happens when comfort turns into confinement. It reflects the numbness that sets in when you’re chasing relief but sinking deeper—watching the person you used to be slip further into the background. The song explores the isolation, shame, and quiet destruction that lives just beneath the surface—where you can’t breathe, can’t feel, and can’t see a way out. But it also marks a turning point: the moment you see the storm for what it is and start fighting your way back. In the end, "Withering Away" is about finding the strength to face yourself and begin again.

LISTEN BELOW:

THE ESTES METHOD BIO

THE ESTES METHOD is a female-fronted metal band forged in the shadows of Kansas City, MO. Blending haunting melodies with brutal riffs, they explore themes of personal ruin, rebirth, and the chaos in between. Fusing heavy metal with dark atmospheres and cinematic tension, their sound is a descent into emotional extremes — equal parts raw vulnerability and unrelenting power.

HAYEFIELD Unleashes Raw and Grit with Exposive NEW Single “BOTTOM SHELF”

Rising from the grit of the underground and fueled by unapologetic truth, HAYEFIELD is back with a vengeance. Their new single, “BOTTOM SHELF,” — and it’s a bruising, soul-shaking anthem that

refuses to be ignored.

"BOTTOM SHELF" is one of our favorite songs to date. Not only does it encapsulate our satirical perspectives as writers and musical artists, but it’s a true story about growing up. Being the underdog or a wallflower. Trying to fit in and find yourself, truthfully, wanting to have cool shit like a lot of the kids around you but just not being able to afford it. It just always felt like we were on the bottom shelf. 

Stylistically we were able to capture the essence of our influences, (ADTR, Pierce the Veil and Weezer) and mold it into our newly developed sound. It’s bright, but heavy, it’s kinda comedic but ironically uplifting by the end of it. To me it feels like a strong representation of what 2025 is; the next generation of music with a nod to nostalgia. 

HAYEFIELD BIO

Hailing from the unlikely breeding ground of Arkansas, HAYEFIELD sounds like they were born and bred on West Coast sunshine and distortion. This explosive power trio blends the infectious energy of pop-punk with the raw lyrical power of hip-hop, creating a sound that’s as unique as it is nostalgic. Think A Day To Remember crashing a Weezer pool party with Blink-182 / Outkast, and you’re halfway there.Their satirical lyrics tackle the universal struggles of self-improvement, the sting of being underestimated, and the ever-present angst of relationships–all with a healthy dose of self-aware humor.

HAYEFIELD's live show is a high-octane affair, fueled by catchy, instantly recognizable guitar riffs that will have you singing along by the second chorus. Their drummer lays down a thunderous foundation, seamlessly weaving southern rap beats into his organic yet aggressive style, creating a rhythmic backbone that’s both familiar and refreshingly new.They're the soundtrack to your existential crisis, the anthem for anyone who's ever felt like they didn't quite fit in, and the band that will leave you feeling strangely hopeful.

Morgan Wallen Releases “Miami” ft. Lil Wayne & Rick Ross

After teasing a new rendition of his Keith Whitley-inspired “Miami” in The Magic City itself during his walkouts at Hard Rock Stadium on July 11 and 12, Morgan Wallen’s remix featuring rappers Lil Wayne and Rick Ross is available now. Listen Below.
 
Wallen first tossed the idea of featuring a rapper on the Charlie Handsome produced song during his interview with Theo Von in April, stating at the time, “It seemed like it could use a rapper on there. I didn’t end up using a feature… it’s one of those songs where it wouldn’t be surprising if we got a remix and did that once it’s out.” 
 
“Miami” is track 35-of-37 on Wallen’s fourth studio album, I’m The Problem, released in May. I’m The Problem remained atop the Billboard 200 chart for eight consecutive weeks in the US and Canada, and has already yielded four No. 1’s at Country radio, including “Just In Case,” which is on its third week at No. 1, and the title track, which remained at No. 1 for eight weeks.
 
Upon its release, I’m The Problem debuted at No. 1 globally across seven countries, while Wallen also broke his own record for the most simultaneous entries in Billboard Hot 100 History, with 37 songs charting on release week – claiming all top three spots. Wallen has since claimed 10 weeks with at least three songs in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the only country artist to achieve this feat. Wallen is on his ninth consecutive week atop the all-genre Billboard Artist 100 chart – marking 28 career weeks on top.
 
Abroad, I’m The Problem became Wallen’s first album to debut at No. 1 on the UK Official Charts, making him one of only five artists to debut at summit with a country album. In Australia, I’m The Problem became the longest-running No. 1 album by a country artist in 10 years, with three consecutive weeks atop the ARIA albums chart, while “What I Want (feat. Tate McRae)” recently topped Australia’s Country Airplay chart.

The project sparked Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem Tour, which is currently underway, with just 12 dates remaining. I’m The Problem Tour included previous stops in Houston, TX; Miami Gardens, FL; Glendale, AZ and two consecutive nights at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, WI, marking the largest concerts in the state’s history.
 
With upcoming stops in Seattle, WA; Cleveland, OH; Foxborough, MA and more, I’m The Problem Tour features a rotating lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel in direct support with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson as second-of-four, and Zach John King added as first-of-four on all remaining dates.

About Morgan Wallen:
Morgan Wallen sets the pace in, and beyond, country music – with Billboard calling him “one of the biggest stars in the music world right now” and The New Yorker adding “[he’s] popular on a scale that seems to circumvent genre entirely.” With 19 No. 1 singles at Country radio, 19 Billboard Music Awards to-date, more than 190 weeks spent atop Billboard’sTop Country Albums chart (the most in country music history), the highest selling country tour under his belt and more, Wallen has propelled country music to a global level in less than five years. 
 
Wallen’s fourth studio album, I’m The Problem, available now via Big Loud / Mercury, debuted at No. 1 globally across seven countries; while his preceding albums – Dangerous: The Double Album and One Thing At A Time – have remained in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart for more than 100 weeks each, making him the first artist ever to achieve that feat. I’m The Problem – which Hits Daily Double observes is “a 37-song cycle of self-reckoning” – has already yielded four No. 1’s at Country radio, including the title track, which remained at No. 1 for eight weeks. Wallen also broke his own record for the most simultaneous entries in Billboard Hot 100 History, with 37 songs charting on release week.
 
Wallen’s 20-stadium-show 2025 I’m the Problem Tour kicked off on June 20 in Houston, Texas. Coupled with his personally-curated, multi-genre Sand In My Boots Music Festival in Gulf Shores, Alabama and album release show at The Roundhouse in London in May, these 22 shows are the only place to see the superstar this year.
 
Wallen continues to donate a portion of every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation — which supports youth music and athletic programs and gives communities access to essentials in times of crisis. More at  MorganWallen.com.

ALL HELL Unleash New Single “The Bleeding” from Forthcoming Album Sunsetter

Blackened metal trio ALL HELL has released “The Bleeding,” the first single from their upcoming album Sunsetter, due out October 10, 2025 on Terminus Hate City.

A blistering, high-speed descent into vampiric hunger and ritualistic violence, “The Bleeding” offers the first glimpse into the apocalyptic narrative of Sunsetter, a concept album spanning millennia of exile, resurrection, and mythic doom. The track also features a scorching guest guitar solo by Nate Garnette of SKELETONWITCH, a longtime friend and collaborator of the band.

Lyrically, “The Bleeding” places listeners in the mind of a predator, one of the cursed children of Cain, seeking blood offerings for a long-slumbering sire. The result is pure sonic ferocity, blending d-beat punk energy with the band’s signature blackened edge and occult atmosphere.

Sunsetter is the fifth full-length from ALL HELL, following a string of acclaimed releases including The Grave Alchemist and The Witch’s Grail. Known for their punishing live shows and genre-defying sound, the band has toured with RINGWORM, BLACK TUSK, and PROFANATICA, and has performed at Decibel Metal and Beer Fest, RPM Fest, and more.

About ALL HELL:

ALL HELL is a blackened metal trio from Asheville, North Carolina, known for their relentless fusion of first wave black metal, deathrock, punk, and horror-driven storytelling. Since forming in 2013, the band has carved out a distinct identity rooted in occult themes, razor-sharp riffs, and a fierce DIY ethos. Their sound is aggressive, stripped-down, and deeply atmospheric — a raw, unfiltered descent into myth, violence, and the supernatural.

With five full-length albums and an EP to their name, including 2025’s apocalyptic concept record Sunsetter, ALL HELL has evolved from a local cult favorite into a powerful underground force. Their live presence has taken them across the U.S., sharing stages with acts like RINGWORM, BLACK TUSK, PROFANATICA, and TURN COLD, and performing at festivals such as Decibel Metal and Beer Fest, Dark Lord Day, and RPM Fest.

The current lineup, Jacob Curwen (guitar and vocals), Erik Ballantyne (bass), and Elanti (drums), continues to push the band’s sound forward while staying true to its core. With each release, ALL HELL digs deeper into a unique mythos that spans history, horror, and apocalypse, embracing the dark, the ugly, and the eternal night.

ALL HELL is:
 

• Jacob Curwen – Guitar and Vocals

• Erik Ballantyne – Bass

• Elanti – Drums

Thy Catafalque Release Live Video Ahead of First Latin American Tour

Even when it was only thought of as a studio project, Thy Catafalquehad a vision that extends beyond borders and boundaries. Over the past two decades, Hungarian mastermind Tamás Kátai and his growing cast of collaborators have brought the deadly art of extreme metal into close conversation with the avant-garde.

"XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek is a feast for the ears", New Noise wrote in a 5 star review of Thy Catafalque's latest opus. "[it's] a celebration of the powers of music, bursting to express itself in whatever form it chooses to inhabit. An album to inexorably fall in love with". 

Now, fresh off their debuts at Hellfest and Kilkim Žaibu, followed by a resounding return in front of their home crowd at Fishing on Orfű, Thy Catafalque are preparing to tour Latin America for the very first time. As the group prepare to ignite crowds from Mexico to Argentina, today, they are releasing a live video from last year's hometown performance of the most chilling epic off their dark and dreamy twelfth album.      

"This is a massive step-up for Thy Catafalque", Kátai says. "We are very excited to play for our fans in places where we've never gone before".

Watch Thy Catafalque perform "Ködkirály" live at Dürer Kert  Below

XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek (The Beautiful Dreams Are Yet to Come) is out now on Season of Mist.

Heading into Thy Catafalque's twelfth album, Tamás Kátai set out to make a straightforward metal record. But A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek wound up taking him on another surreal headtrip.

In English, "Ködkirály" translates to "King of Fog". The song unfolds somewhere between dreams and nightmares. Martina Veronika Horváth and Ivett Dudás rise amidst cosmic synths like fog beneath a sinking moon. Their chilling cleans left the sold-out crowd at the influential Hungarian underground venue completely mesmerized. With his deep rippling bass lines, Kátai only deepens the spell.       

Of course, Thy Catafalque aren't ones to leave their fans in suspense. Halfway through "Ködkirály", a death metal riff comes thundering down from the blackened sky. When dueling guitarists Zoltán Vigh and Krisztián Varga  unfurl a procession of gloomy tremolo picking, it's harrowingly clear that the king has come. "Hullj, nehéz eső / Fall, heavy rain", roars Gábor Dudás, commanding the group's many followers to bang their heads.

The video for "Ködkirály" was recorded on November 23, 2024 at Dürer Kert, Budapest, Hungary.
