As Everything Unfolds Release "POINT OF VIEW" + Video

September 16, 2025

As Everything Unfolds, who recently announced their signing to Century Media, have today released a brand new single, "POINT OF VIEW," hot on the heels of "SET IN FLOW," which released earlier this summer.

Speaking of "POINT OF VIEW," vocalist Charlie Rolfe says, "You give everything you have, your whole being, your whole life, to help someone but it's never enough if they don't want to help themselves. I really struggled to understand how someone close to me couldn't see my point of view in the awful situation we were in. They were angry when I helped, they were angry when I gave them space, they were angry when I stayed, they were angry when I left."

She continues, "It destroyed my confidence and my self-worth having to live in an environment where nothing I ever did was good enough. It hurts deeply to watch what can only be described as a car crash in slow motion, being unable to stop it but just having the strength to walk away and value your own mental health, your own sanity helped me gain back a small amount of those parts of me I lost. I really hope that some day, that person can listen to this song, and truly understand what it was like to be in that situation from my point of view."

Watch the "POINT OF VIEW" music video below.

Ignoring traditional genre boundaries with their distinctive sound, As Everything Unfolds have aspired to create a unique listening experience, combining a multitude of genres within the alternative realm and beyond. With over 30 million streams of their catalogue to date, their craft does not go unnoticed.

As Everything Unfolds have been nominated for three Heavy Music Awards, including Best Album in 2024, and have appeared at iconic European festivals including Download Festival, Graspop, Rock For People, Resurrection and Wacken. They have also toured extensively alongside bands including Electric Callboy, Enter Shikari, Skindred, Bury Tomorrow, Holding Absence and many more.

Off the back of signing to Century Media, the remainder of 2025 and 2026 promise to be huge years for the band, showcasing their new era across numerous tours and festivals.

We Came As Romans + Currents Release Reimagined Version Of “Bad Luck” Feat. Anthony Notarmaso (After The Burial)

September 15, 2025

Just weeks after wrapping their triumphant Bad Luck U.S. headline tour, metalcore mainstays We Came As Romans have unveiled a reimagined version of single “bad luck”, this time joined by tourmates Currents and Anthony Notarmaso of After The Burial—two of the standout support acts from the tour’s powerhouse lineup. Stream We Came As Romans & Currents - bad luck feat Anthony Notarmaso HERE and watch the visualizer Below.

Originally released as the lead single from All Is Beautiful…Because We’re Doomed—We Came As Romans’ most thematically ambitious and emotionally honest record to date—“bad luck” quickly became a cornerstone of the album’s reflection on grief, transformation, and survival. Stream the album now HERE. The reimagined version brings new weight and perspective, layering in Brian Wille’s commanding vocals and Anthony Notarmaso’s unmistakable intensity. What began as a personal reckoning now expands, bridging three of the scene’s most respected forces into a single moment of cathartic heaviness.

“We were fans of We Came As Romans and After The Burial long before having the pleasure of touring with them and making some life-long memories together,” shares Brian Wille of Currents. “It was a great time getting to collaborate on this new version of bad luck and we’re very excited to share it with all of you!”

“I’m very flattered and honored that the WCAR boys wanted to include me on such an awesome track,” adds Anthony Notarmaso of After The Burial. “I still have the song stuck in my head!”

The release follows We Came As Romans’ sold-out U.S. tour run and arrives ahead of their upcoming fall headline tour across Europe and the UK with Brand Of Sacrifice and Heavensgate, as well as appearances at major US festivals Louder Than Life and When We Were Young Fest.

ABOUT WE CAME AS ROMANS

We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still—effortlessly moving between metal, alternative, metalcore, and rock.

The Michigan-born five-piece—Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—first broke through with Tracing Back Roots (2013), which cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit #1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.

Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band has continued to honor his legacy with their 2022 album, Darkbloom, their highest-praised record to date. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend." It featured career-defining tracks like "Black Hole" (ft. Caleb Shomo), now over 102 million Spotify streams, and "Daggers" (ft. Zero 9:36), which surpassed 32 million streams. Media outlets including Loudwire and Consequence praised the album for its emotional range, sonic heft, and unapologetic vulnerability.

Now, with 'ALL IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED,' the band enters their most ambitious chapter yet—scarred, sharpened, and more fearless than ever.

The Intemperate Sons Release Single "Saturday Is Always Hard" + Music Video via FRAME|WORK

September 14, 2025

Alt-Rockers, The Intemperate Sons, have released the third track, "Saturday Is Always Hard," from their upcoming third studio album, Ephemera, set for release in winter 2025.

“Saturday Is Always Hard” is a departure from some of the heavier tracks listeners have become accustomed to. The song is a reflective journey of knowing you’re losing someone and the thoughts that clutter your mind waiting for that day. The Intemperate Sons venture slightly into more heavier pop territory with this track using haunting keys and dark, yet jazzy guitar tone. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you, perfect for anyone who loves music that feels real and hits deep.

Stream/Download "Saturday Is Always Hard":

https://onerpm.link/309017549520

https://linktr.ee/theintemperatesons

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

In the sweltering Dallas summer of 2019, before the onset of a global pandemic, The Intemperate Sons were born from blood, grit, and a shared obsession with the ghosts of alternative rock’s golden age. The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys—joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create a sound that’s equal parts searing riffs, haunting harmonies, and unapologetic soul. Think Alice in Chains’ brooding intensity, Stone Temple Pilots’ swagger, and R.E.M.’s poetic undercurrent, all filtered through a ‘70s rock haze that refuses to play it safe.

This isn’t just a band; it’s a family affair, where the unspoken bond between father and sons fuels every chord and lyric. Keith, a Dallas stage veteran, pens lyrics that cut deep—tales of regret, resilience, and the chaos of the human condition. Jake’s guitar lines, sharp yet soulful, weave narratives of their own, while Max’s voice carries the weight of a 25-year-old who’s lived a lifetime in his head. Mark, the groove-obsessed bassist, ties it all together.

The Intemperate Sons hit the ground running, catching the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man”that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) on singles like “Running Man” and “Dust to Dust” and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.

For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation—a reminder of why you fell in love with the genre’s raw honesty and a promise that its spirit still burns. The Intemperate Sons aren’t chasing trends; they’re carving their own path, one riff, one lyric, one night at a time.performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style which has a retro vibe with many guitar driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate on a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and even R.E.M.

The Intemperate Sons are:

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

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

Sun Sept 27 @ Red River Revel Music Festival 2025 in Shreveport, LA

Fri Oct 17 @ Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, CA w/ Julien K, for all the emptiness, Our Frankenstein, Skyplant, Vanta After Dark

KING ULTRAMEGA Partners With Joe Satriani On New Single "Be Yourself", A Heartfelt Tribute to Chris Cornell

September 13, 2025

Alternative rock collective KING ULTRAMEGA, featuring members of ALICE IN CHAINS, ANTHRAX, MASTODON, and SOUNDGARDEN, have returned with a haunting instrumental rendition of the AUDIOSLAVE classic, "Be Yourself". This new single release once again aims to celebrate Chris Cornell’s musical genius while raising funds and awareness for MusiCares. MusiCares is the Recording Academy’s nonprofit that provides mental health, addiction recovery, and emergency services to those in the music community.

“Be Yourself” features legendary guitarist Joe Satriani on lead guitar, echoing vocalist Chris Cornell's melodic motifs and building on the song's phrasings. Though following in Cornell's footsteps on a different instrument sounds like a tall order, Satriani rose to the challenge, proud to show his love for a fallen hero. Expertly replicating the essence of the song with crystal-clear lead tones, tasteful vibrato, and subtle pedal effects, Satriani lets his guitar sing with all the passion and tenderness that the song's lyrics originally conveyed. This loving instrumental homage proves that the message and power behind AUDIOSLAVE's composition transcends words.

Satriani comments, "[Chris Cornell] was a brilliant vocalist and communicator. He often used his voice like an instrument, shaping the tone of his voice like a guitarist would finesse riffs and phrases. I took a deep dive into his magical sensibilities and came up with a multi-tracked guitar production approach that I felt would pay proper homage to his brilliance."

The concept for an instrumental rendition of "Be Yourself" originated with the bassist, producer, and mastermind of KING ULTRAMEGA, Mark Menghi. As a producer, he envisioned a version of the song that deftly balanced the art of paying respect to the original, while also reimagining the song with a unique musical voice from Satriani. As a bassist, Menghi strove to keep the bass parts nearly identical to the original song, allowing Satriani the freedom to lend his own voice to the music. Renowned drummer Kenny Aronoff, who has been named one of the greatest drummers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, and has toured and recorded with a who’s who of legendary artists such as THE ROLLING STONES, THE SMASHING PUMPKINS, PAUL MCCARTNEY, JOHN FOGERTY and many more, provides the laid-back, but emotionally-resonant groove of "Be Yourself", laying the foundation with Menghi for Satriani's melodies to shine.

Menghi comments, "I remember like it was yesterday, I was on a run through some crazy trail, just zoning out and the original song came on through my headphones… as I was running, I remember hearing Chris sing 'to be yourself is all that you can do' it was like he was talking to me… then thought to myself 'I can totally hear this as an instrumental a-la Satch style'... My hope is that whomever is listening to this song hears Chris over Joe’s guitar and understands that we are paying homage to Chris with our take on this tune."

Aronoff comments, "I listened to 'Be Yourself' over and over again, absorbing the lyrics and the feel and vibe of this song, then I recorded my drums. Their recording had an emotional impact on me and that had a big effect on my performance."

KING ULTRAMEGA is a passion-driven musical project honoring the life, voice, and genius of Chris Cornell, one of the most gifted artists of our time. It launches in conjunction with SOUNDGARDEN’s long-overdue induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

This project did not begin with a single, dramatic moment. Instead, it grew quietly and gradually, an organic result of years of conversations, inspiration, and deep reverence for a musician whose impact remains immeasurable.

"There is not a singular moment in time that led to this project," says bassist and producer Mark Menghi, the driving force behind KING ULTRAMEGA. "It was a trail of events that led to the formation of KING ULTRAMEGA and the evolving creation to pay tribute to the voice of a generation."

Mudvayne Drop ANOTHER New Track With "Sticks and Stones"

September 13, 2025

It's feast or famine!

A mere two weeks ago, '00s hard rock provocateurs MUDVAYNE — Chad Gray[vocals], Greg Tribbett [guitar], Ryan Martinie [drums], and Matthew McDonough [drums] — thrilled fans by dropping their first new single in 16 years with "HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE" via Alchemy Recordings. The song has already accumulated over half a millions streams and counting. Watch the visualizer and listen to the song here.

The band has shared ANOTHER new track. This time, they've issued "Sticks and Stones." Watch and listen via the visualizer here. The official music video is forthcoming.

While "HURT PEOPLE HURT PEOPLE" immediately clamped down on the jugular and was a primal scream return for the band, "Sticks and Stones" is a bit more measured in its ferocity. It showcases the band's mastery of quiet-loud dynamics and steadily escalates to an utterly monstrous breakdown.

"I was always told 'sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me,'" says Gray. "Well, it's a great nursery rhyme, but I couldn't disagree more. I've carried a lot of words throughout my life as if they were just spoken to me. The reality is — they do hurt. I've tried my best to shed them, but when they come from dear friends, family — people that are suppose to love you — the words have teeth and they won't let go. Blood doesn't wash out; iit stains. I think I'm just trying to remind people to love their children. Don't use them as a bullet to fire into your ex or whomever you're with now. They're innocent and they are impressionable. And trust me, as a child, that was used as a weapon, your words will hurt them...long after you say them."

The band has also launched a pre-order for a double A Side 7" vinyl featuring both songs. There will be a standard version, as well as a variant that is signed and limited to 500 units. Both are available exclusively through the band's webstorealongside a brand new merch capsule. Go here to get yours.

Additionally, there will be a variant available exclusively through Revolver.

Mudvayne are looking towards their future as they also celebrate their impactful past. The song arrives on the eve of the band's L.D. 50 25th Anniversary headline tour, which kicks off today, September 11, and runs through October 26. L.D. 50was the band's debut studio album, arriving in August 2000 via Epic Records and established the band as a new yet major player in the hard rock scene. It eventually went on to achieve a Gold certification. Years after its release, both Revolver and Metal Hammer deemed the album an essential of the '00s metal class, rightfully so. The tour will feature support from Static-X, while Vended will open. All dates are below. Get tickets here.

The six-song collection marks the next chapter for the viral hitmaker whose career has grown from underground phenom to a billion-plus on-demand streams, four independent studio albums, a Platinum single, national touring, and millions of fans across social platforms.

“The songs on Secondhand Smoke are more than just individual tracks; they are chapters from my life,” says Atlus. ”Each one tells a story that I’ve lived through and it’s my hope that they push somebody out there to keep fighting, dreaming, and that there is something in one of those chapters that helps them keep showing up."

Pulling back the curtain on his past to forge a new path forward, Secondhand Smoke sees Atlus writing on each track, confronting deeply personal themes, from a turbulent home life and his mother’s resilience, to his sister’s battle with addiction and his own journey with mental health. Pre-Save/Pre-Add Secondhand Smoke HERE.

Out today, “IOD on YOU” is the second release from the project. The song transforms a family history of addiction into a striking love story. Over an ethereal, dream-like soundscape that builds toward an uplifting crescendo, Atlus revisits past vices of loved ones before revealing the twist, his newest and most consuming addiction is love itself. Listen Below.

“IOD on YOU” joins the previously released “Devil Ain’t Done” and its official video on the forthcoming project. Listen HERE / Watch Video HERE

Atlus will mark the release of Secondhand Smoke with a special Nashville preview performance on October 9 at Cannery Hall. A limited number of public tickets are available HERE.

About Atlus:

Raised in a single-parent home marked by poverty and addiction, Atlus had to grow up fast, building resilience and a lifelong commitment to authenticity in his music. Phonetically named after the mythological Titan who held up the heavens, he began writing while working long hours as a commercial truck driver, crafting lyrics and melodies behind the wheel to help support his family and fund studio time.

That pavement-pounding grind became both his classroom and his engine, fueling the rise of a loyal underground following. Breakthrough moments soon followed, including performing alongside Jelly Roll at a packed Red Rocks Amphitheatre in his home state and landing a Top 5 album on Spotify’s Global Album Chart. With over a billion on-demand streams, millions of followers across socials, and a Platinum single to his name, Atlus continues to turn personal stories into universal anthems. Now signed to BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, he is preparing to share his most revealing project yet, Secondhand Smoke, available October 10.

MORS PRINCIPIUM EST Unleash Uncompromising New Single "All Life Is Evil'

September 12, 2025

While they’re taking the final step into the depth of Darkness Invisible, Finnish melodic death metal legends MORS PRINCIPIUM EST strike again with their new single "All Life Is Evil." Musically also marching towards an imaginary abyss in a highly majestic way, the song is taken from the group’s ninth studio album, which will finally be unleashed in two weeks, on September 26, 2025, through PERCEPTION - A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music.

Unapologetically vicious yet intricately melodic, "All Life Is Evil" pushes MORS PRINCIPIUM EST’s signature sound to its most uncompromising extreme: this is a relentless storm of apocalyptic riffing, soaring lead work, and lyrical nihilism. With "All Life Is Evil," the band make a definitive statement: in their world, beauty and brutality walk hand in hand.

“‘All Life Is Evil’ is about facing the void without flinching. It’s pure and raw, built on everything MPE stands for: heaviness, melody, and absolute conviction. We wanted a song that leaves no room for compromise,” they state.

Stream or download "All Life Is Evil" here: https://mpe.rpm.link/aliePR

Pre-order/pre-save Darkness Invisible: https://mpe.rpm.link/darknessinvisiblePR

Darkness Invisible was recorded at Ansa Studio in Finland and mixed by Jens Bogren and mastered by Tony Lindgren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. The album record blends razor-sharp riffing, sweeping orchestration, and Ville Viljanen’s unmistakable vocals with a more cinematic and emotionally dynamic sound.

LA electronic duo LUCKYANDLOVE reveals 'Lonely At Night', rich taster of coming album

September 10, 2025

LA-based synthwave outfit LUCKYANDLOVE presents their new single 'Lonely At Night', a sultry retro-futuristic delight previewing their third album 'Humaura' (hu • mau • ra), defined by the duo as the atmosphere that emanates from the feelings of the human spirit void of technological control.

Inducing a melancholy dream state of layered sounds, 'Lonely At Night' brings a waterfall of cascading analog strings into shuttering bass lines as syncopated percussion splashes around. With haunted swirling vocals, buzzed out synths, and electrified vibes, they propose a sonic escape from the loneliness through this vortex-sea of sound.

Evoking a brand new art school originality, LUCKYANDLOVE is the raw sonic experiment of Loren Luck and April Love, whose music transcends genres. Their live analog synth beats, Moog instrumentation and beautiful, harmonic vocals trigger an immediate download of fuzzy sunset synthgaze, blue-black neon darkwave, and tigerprint electro punk.

"Picture of a vacant dorm room, where almost everyone left for holiday, leaving the character almost completely alone in a haunted dorm building. The track speeds up in the end, guitars and harmonies a cheerful finale," says April Love.

Loren Luck adds, "Loneliness is a killer. The song describes human feelings of being lonely and reconnecting. We are social animals that require human interaction in the flesh. Life is more enjoyable with someone to share it. Entrapments of modern day keeps people imprisoned. A romantic song."

'Lonely At Night' arrives on the back of their angst-laden anthem ‘I Am Human’, delicately fused together with pulsating molten kicks, abrasive fuzz-laden analog synths and confident sensual vocals. Calling out to make our own choices and take back our lives, this song underlines the need to reconnect with being Human.

This album was recorded, mixed and mastered for digital release by Grammy award-winning engineer Be Hussey (Modern English, Swervedriver, The Church, Alcest, Twin Tribes, Boy Harsher, Luna, Kim Deal) at Balboa Studio and Catwater for the digital music, and mastered for vinyl and lathe cut by Grammy-nominated engineer Nicholas Townsend (Cheap Trick, Weezer, Garbage, Dr. Dre, 2Pac, Grimes, Iron Maiden) at Townsend Mastering.

LUCKYANDLOVE’s visceral, urgently-present dark electro-pop appeal continues to stretch through time and space. Their 'Lucky + Love' and 'Transitions' albums earned them a global fan following and led to US and UK tours, while their tracks 'It's a Mistake', 'Animal' and 'Summertime Frolic' appeared in the film 'Tiger Within' (Ed Asner's final performance), featuring music supervised by Tony Knox, DJ at KXLU's No More Heroes show.

Blending raw analog synth sounds with driving punctuated percussion and punchy analog bass, the compositions on ‘Humaura’ feature enchanting lyrics rooted in emotions ranging from melancholy and sorrowful glom to a state of blissful trance. Shaped by the embers of Siouxsie and The Banshees, Cocteau Twins, and Bauhaus, resonant specters carry over from synth-laden galaxies, where the needle hit the vinyl groove and Doc Martens marched to basement dance floors.

On September 9, 'Lonely at Night' is available on all music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The 'Humaura' album will be released on October 3 via SRD - Southern Record Distributors and can now be pre-ordered from the LUCKYANDLOVE Store or Bandcamp.

LUCKYANDLOVE's record release party is October 11 at The Slipper Clutch in LA via Deathrecordzz Presents, with appearances by Warsaw Pact, Amore De Paris, No Exits, and a DJ set by Echolust.

Steve Gordon MIA (Top 20 Metal Contraband Artist) With Ray West (Spread Eagle) on Dark New Anthem “Broken”

September 7, 2025

After reaching top 20 on Metal Contraband Radio charts in the USA - with his explosive single “We Go To War,” guitarist/producer/mixer Steve Gordon MIA is back with his most uncompromising track yet. His new single “Broken” features the unmistakable voice of Ray West (Spread Eagle) and delivers a Hard rock/Metal assault rooted in obsession, addiction, and the chaos that follows when desire spins out of control.

Steve Gordon MIA – BROKEN (feat. Ray West): Below

The single continues Gordon’s creative partnership with Ray West, best known as the frontman of NYC hard rockers Spread Eagle. Together, they deliver another explosive performance that blends modern heavy metal intensity with the raw, emotional edge of classic hard rock.

“BROKEN is heavy, aggressive, raw, relentless, ferocious, but also personal. Ray brought it to life in a way that’s both haunting and powerful.”

Because of his consistent ability to rescue and transform songs just days or hours before a release, Steve Gordon was often referred to as the “SECRET WEAPON”—the guitarist who could elevate a track to Top 40 Billboard chart success with his parts and additions. His behind-the-scenes work helped many artists achieve recognition that pushed them to icon status.

As Gordon was fully aware in his role as a ghost guitarist for some of rock and pop’s most iconic artists, he knew his name would not appear in the liner notes. However, his contributions were still formally recognized after release through lifetime royalties paid by AIE for all his ghosting sessions, cementing his status as an essential but often unseen contributor to many top charting records still played worldwide on radio every day worldwide.

In addition to his recording and session work, Gordon has placed about 27 songs in major films and soundtracks, including “The Little Things” starring Denzel Washington, “80 For Brady” starring Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, and NFL legend Tom Brady, and “Mafia Mama” starring Toni Collette and Monica Bellucci. His work also extends to Disney movies & soundtracks, as well as placements across Netflix, HBO, and Paramount, showcasing his versatility and wide-reaching impact.

With “We Go To War” still gaining traction on rock and metal radio stations across the country, “BROKEN” builds on that momentum. Backed once again by Munsey Ricci (Skateboard Marketing Ltd.) on radio promotion, ) and Michael Brandvold Marketing handling social media, press and digital strategy, Gordon continues to position his music for maximum impact in both the commercial and underground rock scenes.

Expect “BROKEN” to be a defining statement in Steve Gordon MIA’s evolving story—raw, relentless, ferocious, and unafraid to push boundaries.

BLACKLIST UNION Release New Single "Dyin' 4 U"; New Full Length Album "Slay The Dragon" Drops 9/12

September 7, 2025

Blacklist Union has officially released their latest single, “Dyin' 4 U,” available now on all streaming platforms.

The track delivers a raw and emotional punch, drawing from frontman Tony West’spersonal struggles. “‘Dyin’ 4 U’ is about the hideous divorce and pain I went through and even though I still deeply love her, I refuse to die for her,” West shares.

“Dyin’ 4 U” is taken from the band’s highly anticipated upcoming album, Slay the Dragon, scheduled for release on September 12, 2025. The record will mark Blacklist Union’s sixth full-length release, further cementing their place as one of modern hard rock’s most uncompromising voices.

With their signature mix of gritty rock ’n’ roll attitude and unflinching honesty, Blacklist Union continues to deliver music that is as powerful as it is personal.

STREAM "Dyin' 4 U"

https://untd.io/r/Ay5V4DQT4Vnc

https://linktr.ee/blacklistunion

Blacklist Union have built a reputation on their explosive live shows and unapologetically bold sound. Their previous record, Letters from the Psych Ward, racked up over two million streams, setting the stage for the band’s new album.

Frontman Tony West, known for his larger-than-life presence, took time out to dive deep into several transformative ayahuasca journeys in the heart of the Amazon, preparing for this next era of music.

As Tony put it, “Ayahuasca isn’t a drug—it’s powerful spiritual medicine from another realm. It helped me heal in ways I never thought possible, releasing layers of trauma, heartache, and sorrow. I’m not perfect—not Gandhi or anything—but it changed everything. My entire view of myself, love, the world, people, and my children changed because of those experiences.”

"Dyin' 4 U" was written by Tony West / Christopher Johnson, produced and mixed by Christopher Johnson. It was recorded at East West Studios in Hollywood, CA.

Blacklist Union frontman Tony West was raised in the Bronx on The Ramones, Bad Brains, and NYHC. Hearing the call of the wild west, he made his way to Los Angeles at 19 years old.

Tony took a break from L.A. to try out Memphis in 1998. While he was there, he attended the first Saliva gig with Paul Crosby on drums. This marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Paul and Tony, leading to management, song collaborations, and guest appearances in a few videos. Tony collaborated with guitarist Todd Youth (Murphy’s Law /Danzig) and Malfunkshun, which was kept active by Andy Wood’s brother Kevin Wood. Andy Wood is Tony’s muse, and he was honored to sing in his hero’s band.

I formed Blacklist Union because I wanted to play music that I wanted to hear, and we put out the first Blacklist Union record, After the Mourning, in 2006. The band’s name comes from getting the best musicians with the worst reputations in town. With a shamanistic blend of Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N’ Roses, Warrior Soul, The Cult, and Mother Love Bone... Blacklist Union was born.

Jenna Paulette Releases “Steady,” Readies CowboyGirl Fall Collection for 9/15 Launch

September 5, 2025

Leo33’s rising country artist Jenna Paulette, who teased new music in 2026 in a recent COWGIRL Magazine profile, is previewing her upcoming project with the release of “Steady,” available everywhere now. Listen Below.

“Ross and I were working cattle one day and I looked over at him, his handle on his horse looked so light and good, and I thought, 'he holds my hand like he holds the reins…steady.' I put that into my phone and ended up talking about the idea with Rhett Akins and Will Bundy on a writers retreat,” Paulette recalls of the writing process. “The song was way slower when we work taped it. My manager said on a call with the label, what about “Steady,” but think of it as more uptempo with soaring steel guitar. I’m so glad he could hear the potential through a rough version of the song.”

Written by Paulette, Will Bundy and Rhett Akins, and produced by Bundy, “Steady” is a testament to the understated strength of a dependable partner.

Alongside new music, Paulette is celebrating the one-year anniversary of her CowboyGirl women’s range wear collection, in partnership with Ely Cattleman, with the launch of the CowboyGirl fall line on September 15. The fall drop introduces fresh seasonal details, including new autumn-oriented colors, a seasonal plaid and an expansion of the line to include the Little CowboyGirl collection — designed with the same fabrics in a “mommy down” style for mothers and daughters to wear together.

Reflecting on this chapter in her life, Paulette shares, "I feel like I'm getting into the groove of motherhood while being a touring musician, things are picking up in all aspects of my life. It’s feeling more like a moving train that I'm riding. It's picking up speed—I’m excited for the momentum of it all, with the way the music and Cowboygirl work together.”

The Fall line builds on CowboyGirl’s focus of functional fit, with classic tone-on-tone styles available in both seasonal colors and classic solids of white and black — designed for dressier occasions or for rodeo competitors in need of dependable gear. CowboyGirl’s fall collection will be available at local retailers or elycattleman.com.

CHAYCE BECKHAM DIVES DEEP INTO THE “OCEAN BLUE” WITH POIGNANTLY SEA-SOAKED CLASSIC COUNTRY HEARTBREAKER

September 5, 2025

Platinum-selling, chart-topping country riser Chayce Beckham returns following his acclaimed debut album, Bad For Me, and #1 smash "23" with the hauntingly deep “Ocean Blue.” Rooting the lonesome groove in classic country, the poignant heartbreaker - produced by Bart Butler - is amplified by rich fiddle, striking steel guitar and timeless rhythm. Reminiscent of the storytelling spirit of country legends like George Strait, Merle Haggard and Johnny Cash, listen Below.

Joining Warren Zeiders on his Relapse, Lies & Betrayal Tour this fall, following shows with Luke Bryan, Parker McCollum, Tyler Hubbard and more, the 2025 Grand Ole Opry NextStage artist captures the vulnerability of a breakup on this latest release, aligning feelings of sadness and longing with the vast, restless sea.

“I wrote this song last fall with Brandon Kinney and John Pierce on my tour bus,” Beckham shares. “This is one of my favorites. I love songs that sound like this, and I am very proud of how it came out and who I wrote it with. I’m excited to finally have it out in the world. This is the first of several songs I’ll be releasing, happy and sad, and I’m excited for y’all to hear them all.”

Recounting a love gone too soon, heartbreak can feel like being caught in a stormy ocean. When all that remains are the memories, those waves of sadness wash over you and a different shade of blue emerges.

“One of the genre’s most exciting rising stars,” this “poster child for impactful and meaningful Country music right now” (Entertainment Focus), leans hard into his signature, authentic brand of songwriting that “country music needs more of” (Taste of Country).” With more music on the way, the chart-topper is one of few country risers who have “fully solidified themselves as industry players and have become household names” (American Songwriter).

Brooklyn's CLONE announces coming 'Care To Try' EP, with first offering 'Galvanized'

September 5, 2025

Brooklyn alt rockers CLONE have released their single 'Galvanized', an adrenaline-inducing offering that vibrantly foreshadows their new 'Care To Try' EP, out October 3 via Portland label Little Cloud Records.

Written over the past year with Clone's original lineup of LG Galleon (Dead Leaf Echo), Gregg Giufree (Pilot to Gunner), Max Idas and Dominick Turi, this EP was produced by LG Galleon and Martin Bisi (Sonic Youth, Swans, Brian Eno, John Zorn, Herbie Hancock, Iggy Pop, Helmet, Dresden Dolls) at his famed BC Studio (built with Brian Eno), and mastered by Fred Kevorkian (The White Stripes, Sonic Youth, Juliana Hatfield, Regina Spektor, Lloyd Cole).

The band has also announced autumn tour dates with current members LG Galleon, Paul Liziragga (Namesake) and Alex Cox (The Veldt) now joined by new drummers Avery Brooks and Jeremy Duvall.

“Sliding away from our standard programming, we have just a silly little live song about that moment when u first lock eyes with the possible “one” and think to yourself "could this be it?" - a moment frozen in time and then you both move into stimulated action.… galvanized," says LG Galleon.

"These songs were again recorded with the legendary Martin Bisi, who helped bring the determination and drive in the studio to the forefront when recording these songs. A different lineup makes for a novel live experience every time, yet always with incendiary results. The full tour in October should prove a very fruitful experience and we are looking forward to playing these new songs from the EP live."

Last year, Clone debuted their 'CL. 1' album and 12" vinyl LP, born from a seemingly lost wellspring of shared imagination and youthful transformative power, via Little Cloud and North Carolina's 5BC Records, previewed by the iconoclastic singles 'Immutable', 'Dividing Line' and 'Redeemer'.

A passionate attempt to revive the kind of music that once profoundly resonated with the isolated and vulnerable, Clone's music possesses a transformative power, capable of inspiring through its galvanizing, redemptive power. Drawing on the raw energy and boundless creativity of youth, Clone has created a personal sonic world that they now invite us all to experience.

The past few years has seen Clone tour with Christian Death, Twin Tribes, Wand, La Witch, Live Skull, and The Veldt, among others. With recent stops including SXSW, they continue touring, soon to appear at INKFEST and the Purple City Music Festivalin Providence, RI and Edmonton respectively.

'Galvanized' is out digitally, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. On October 3, the 'Care To Try' EP will be released on 7" vinyl, as well as digitally.

The Apocalypse Is Here: Satellite Citi Drop New Single ft. Ray Hawthorne

September 4, 2025

Los Angeles-based hard rock duo, Satellite Citi, have today returned with their latest single, "Give Me Apocalypse" and they've brought pop punk disruptor, Ray Hawthorne with them. Driven by heavy riffs and searing emotion, the track reflects Satellite Citi's ability to channel real-life struggles into powerful anthems, serving as an invitation to confront the end as the beginning of something new. Fans can watch the brand new video for "Give Me Apocalypse" ft. Ray Hawthorne BELOW.

Speaking on the inspiration behind today's single release, Satellite Citi share:

"We wrote “Give Me Apocalypse” during a time when everything felt out of our control. It’s about the idea that sometimes the world has to burn around you before you can let go of fear and face reality.

It’s even more special to us, because we co-wrote this with Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace and the very badass Ray Hawthorne, who also delivered some absolutely killer guest vocals. Massive thanks to them, as well as Kodeblooded for producing and Joe Rickard for mixing/mastering this one. We hope everyone loves the track as much as we do.”

Renowned for his work in North Kingsley, the acclaimed project alongside Shavo Odadjian of 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 15 million streams across all streaming platforms for his magnetic charm and razor-sharp wit.

Satellite Citi have been steadily building momentum, with over 1.5 million Spotify streams, previous single “Anxious Hearts” featured on KROQ’s Locals Only, latest single "Triggers" ft. Love Ghost featured on Good Day LA, and a standout performance for Guitar Center x Jam in the Van — watch it HERE. With no plans of slowing down, the band will be releasing a new single every eight weeks, collaborating with a diverse lineup of producers across Los Angeles.

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

ABOUT RAY HAWTHORNE

Do you remember that episode of Degrassi where Ashley really wants Craig to tell her he loves her, but Craig gets all panicked and can’t tell her that he does? It causes so much drama in their relationship. She begins to question her feelings for him and because of that, he becomes seemingly unsure of his feelings for her. So, in an effort to quell the bad vibes, Craig writes a song that includes lyrics IMPLICITLY AND EXPLICITLY stating that he loves her. (Total banger by the way, the only song of his I like better is the one he sings at the battle of the bands after the two inevitably break up, it’s also about Ashley. I believe it’s called ‘What I Know’) Anyway, Craig was only able to admit he loved Ashley in song form, but you as the viewer are left wondering ‘Does he really love her, or was this just his solution to end the drama?’ Or, ’Is this truly the only way he can express himself because he’s kind of nervous about speaking his true feelings outside of the structured environment of a song?’. I tend to believe it’s a mixture of both. So what I’m trying to say is, this collection of songs is kind of like that. I always feel like I have so much to say but often feel a bit too vulnerable when discussing my actual feelings. So for the majority of my life, I’ve just written them into songs instead. These songs can be quite vulnerable even if they seem silly at times. So now you’re left to wonder... am I telling the truth or just trying to get rid of Ashley’s bad vibes?

Green Carnation Premiere First Part of A Dark Poem

September 4, 2025

A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia comes out this Friday, September 5, but you can hear all six grand and gloomy songs today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel.

Listen Below.

"Today is a milestone in Green Carnation's history, as we're now finally able to share the first part of A Dark Poemwith the world", says the band's vocalist Kjetil Nordhus. "The incredible amount of work behind this album, and the time it took to finish it on the level we wanted, makes it even sweeter to finally be here. This is indeed a proud moment for Green Carnation. We are looking forward to the journey ahead".

Green Carnation will perform all of A Dark Poem live in their hometown of Kristiansand, Norway on September 12, 2026. During this once-in-a-lifetime 3-hour performance, the band will perform all three parts of their epic album trilogy in full, one after another, alongside some very special guests and the Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra.

No matter how long or where the journey has taken them, Green Carnation have always sought to climb the highest mountains. While founded by Emperor's former bassist Tchort in the early '90s, the Norwegians quickly blazed their own trail through fields of symphonic doom, hard rock, acoustic plucking and progressive metal. The idea for an album trilogy stems back to the band's very first opus, Light of Day, Day of Darkness, though the inspiration for A Dark Poem dates back even further to Arthur Rimbaud's 1870 poem "Ophelia".

"We like to purse things that are extremely ambitious", says Nordhus. "Creating a trilogy of albums felt like it might be just out of our reach, which is what made us want to see if we could do it".

Though only the beginning of the band's latest epic journey, The Shores of Melancholia pulls a page from across Green Carnation's storied 25-year discography. The album's opening one-two punch landed a direct hit during the band's set yesterday at ProgPower USA. "As Silence Took You" opens its sails with majestic, billowing leads before "In Your Paradise" chugs full steam ahead after the clarion call of a flute. "It makes you want to bang your head a little", Nordhus says with a pleased smile. "I think melancholia suits Green Carnation very well".

While navigated with the band’s familiar mastery, the view from The Shores of Melancholia is no palatial retreat. "The album reflects the troubled relationship between our personal lives and the external world", Nordhus explains. "It's about losing faith in the world we've come to know and how that leads to an inner dystopia". Judgement day appears around every corner, steering them from the title track’s anxious war-torn tide to the Floydian whirlpools of paranoia that drench "Me, My Enemy". The dark and stormy "The Slave That You Are" even claws back to Green Carnation's budding days in extreme metal thanks to the blackened howl of Enslaved's Grutle Kjellson.

“A lesson learned, now bridges burn”, Nordhus cries out with impassioned cleans, as if tied to the mast during the album's bright and blazing closer "Too Close to the Flame".

On A Dark Poem, Part I: The Shores of Melancholia, Green Carnation set sail on an epic journey into a dark night of the soul.
