Code:Words Drop New Single "All Consuming" Video

CODE:WORDS, who recently joined The Artery Foundation roster, have just shared their new single "ALL CONSUMING."

It's a masterful slice of electro pop metalcore that will take up real estate in your brain for weeks at a time. It also looks at the kill or be killed stance one often has to take in relationships.

Listen Below.

"'All Consuming' is about struggling with the realization that you can't save someone who doesn't want to save themselves," offers singer John Dillon. "That, over time, you can break yourself down in service of others and not realize the effects it had on you. At some point, you're faced with an uncomfortable choice: Them or me. I think this is a moment a lot of people can relate to. We all have someone in our lives that we'd do anything to protect from the cold realities of the world, but eventually you have to tell them 'I won't set myself on fire to keep you warm anymore.'" 

The band's sound was shaped alongside producer Hiram Hernandez (Blessthefall, Honey Revenge). The approach is deliberate. Clear, and concise with one objective; Give you everything until, you feel it all

.ABOUT CODE:WORDS:

When CODE:WORDS formed in Los Angeles in 2023, they did not arrive quietly. The band showed up with urgency and a sound that already felt lived in — like it had a past behind it, like they'd been a touring act for years before anyone was paying attention.

They first gained attention with "Wash the Blood," a self-released debut that spread without a rollout or a manufactured moment. In this short time, the band has now amassed over two million streams worldwide, not on hype, but on repeat listens and slow-built loyalty. Early 2026 marked another breakout moment for CODE:WORDS as they announced their signing to longtime industry powerhouse The Artery Foundation and released their most dynamic single to date with "Limerence." The song quickly took the industry by storm, debuting on Sirius XM's Octane Test Drive, earning a spot in rotation, and on Kerrang Radio's Unleashed in the UK.

Fronted by John Dillon, with Garrett Lowery and Max Codoceo, CODE:WORDS write from uncomfortable places: Obsession. Shame. Control. Emotional exhaustion. Nothing is exaggerated. Nothing is softened. The music is meant to make you feel something raw, and it leaves you uneasy in the best way.

The Hu Unleash Not One, But Two Songs With "The Men" + "Warrior Chant"

It's a double dose of brand new music from Hunnu Rock pioneers The Hu.

The Gold-certified global phenomenon deliver "The Men" which is accompanied by an official music video, alongside "Warrior Chant," both out now via Better Noise Music. Listen to "The Men" here.

Watch the video Below.

Listen to "Warrior Chant" here.

Traditional Mongolian strings herald the arrival of "The Men." This organic swell gives way to a gritty and gruff groove-laden riff topped off with hypnotic vocals. The band’s signature hybrid of indigenous instrumentation, heavy-as-a-2x4 guitars, and transfixing tribal chanting makes for another essential anthem from The Hu. It’s tailor-made for an epic battle scene, climax of your favorite video game, or workout session. At the same time, it's evocative of the musicians' own tradition and heritage.

About "The Men," Galaa commented, "'The Men' is written based on Mongolian philosophy of 'Man’s Inner Spirit' or 'Хийморь' and the importance of inner strength and kindness of a man to the world. Energy of men should always be reinforced with positiveness, strength and generosity, so this song try to encapsulate that ancient wisdom and share to the rest of humanity. Lyrics are chants that guides young and old men alike to be headstrong and to have dream that cultivate goodness. We only wanted to focus on the positives that can make a man ponder about who he is in this world and wonder about how he can have positive inner spirit when listening to it. Hope our fans will be able to capture every fiber of Mongolian Man’s way of living through this song."

Then, there's "Warrior Chant." It lives up to its title with a hard-charging chorus and a tight and taut metallic soundscape. Between the horse head fiddle and instantly recognizable delivery, it immediately amplifies everything that fans have fallen in love with about the band in the first place.

Regarding "Warrior Chant," Galaa added, "'Warrior Chant' has our signature rhythm that our fans fell in love with and everyone who will listen and know us will say that it is 'our song.' Our third album has bit of everything, rhythm-wise, and we see that as a progress of expanding the Hunnu Rock genre... Enkush and I focused on horse head fiddle solos by imitating the horse gait and you will hear the rhythm throughout the song."

Get ready for more music from The Hu soon.

The Hu will team up with Cello Metal standouts Apocalyptica for a run of shows this May and June. The tour kicks off on May 12 in Silver Spring, MD and will take them across the country before wrapping in Anaheim, CA on June 7. Joining The Hu and Apocalyptica will be platinum-selling Finnish rock band The Rasmus.

Tickets and additional information on VIP packages available HERE

In addition to closing all shows on this tour, The Hu are celebrating the recent release of their latest single "The Real You," which is "the representation of our new album, The Hun," says Temka – Temuulen N (band's tovshuur player, throat singer).  "The Real You" is one of the few songs from The Hu in which Western music components are prominent.

And in other The Hu news, the band recently appeared on the song "Pray to the Sun," featuring Declan de Barra, from the Netflix Japanese manga series One Piece. It's another instance of the band and its music connecting with passionate fandoms, as their song "Sugaan Essena" was also prominently featured in the Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order video game.

Olive Vox Confront Time And Fragility on New Single “14 Years”

Texas-based alternative rock four-piece, Olive Vox return with “14 Years,” a stark and emotionally loaded new single that lands as their fourth release since signing to Big Machine Rock. Arriving in the wake of previous singles -  “BABYDOLL”, “T.A.N.G.O”, and “Dying Breath”, the track follows a breakout year that has seen the band sharpen their identity in real time, both on record and on the road, most recently supporting Badflower across the US. Fans can stream “14 Years” now, Below.

 

There’s a physicality to “14 Years”. Pins and needles, loss of control, the body turning unfamiliar. Parker James’ vocal sits right at the center of that tension, carrying the weight of a narrative that feels both deeply personal yet uncomfortably universal. Providing further context on the song, the band share the following

 

“This song is a reflection of the ultimate betrayal of the “provider” archetype: the moment a person successfully completes the strenuous journey of securing their family’s future, only to have their own body become the very thing that destabilizes it. It explores the agonizing transition from being the “stranger” planting seeds for a legacy to becoming a “patient” who is forced to watch their own fading presence become a burden. This isn’t about lack of success, but about the cruelty of time; it’s the realization that while you finally reached the destination, you’ve been robbed of the right to inhabit it, leaving you to grapple with the hollowed remains of a dream that your family will now have to navigate without you.”

 

Olive Vox channel sonic electricity from the natural chemistry between them. Like four livewires sparking on contact, the Texas-based quartet, Parker James on vocals, Caden Shea on guitar, Dayton Phillips on drums, and Ben Reid on bass, have built a reputation on sweat-soaked shows, phenomenal live energy that could power their home state of Texas, restless experimentation, and a rapidly growing fanbase. Born in Orange County and later rooted in Texas, brothers Parker and Cadenstarted early, developing their sound long before the band formally took shape. Ben joined after seeing their first live set in 2021, with Dayton completing the lineup in 2023.

Pulling from a wide spectrum that runs from Nine Inch Nails and The Smashing Pumpkins through to Turnstile, DIIV, Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines D.C., and Cage The Elephant, Olive Vox have carved out a sound that feels chaotic yet controlled, immediate yet layered. Early releases like “Wash You Away” and “All My Friends Are Dead” set the foundation, while their 2024 cover of “Ain’t No Rest For The Wicked” pulled in over half a million streams and found traction on TikTok. Their recent run of singles has seen their monthly listeners on Spotify hit 85,000. On stage, they’ve shared bills with Ty Segall, Puddle of Mudd, VIOLENT VIRA and Badflower alongside appearances at Summerfest and Levitation Festival.

“14 Years” continues Olive Vox’s steady climb, capturing a band gaining new fans and momentum with each release as they build toward their 2026 debut EP on Big Machine Rock.

LUNGBURNER Releases New Single "Apostasy" Ahead of Upcoming Album Dogma, Out April 17

LUNGBURNER has released their new single "Apostasy," the second track from their forthcoming third full-length album Dogma, due out April 17 - pre-orders are available HERE. A song that has already become a staple in the band’s live sets throughout 2025, "Apostasy" captures a balance of controlled intensity and raw emotion.

The track begins with a sample of philosopher Jiddu Krishnamurti challenging the role of religion in shaping false realities and imposed truths. From there, "Apostasy" builds into a focused and aggressive composition that reflects the tension involved in breaking away from deeply rooted cultural and ideological systems. It presents both confrontation and release, centered on rejecting expectation and inherited belief.

While the title references the act of leaving one’s birth religion, often at significant personal risk, "Apostasy" extends beyond that idea. The song stands as a statement of individual direction and the pursuit of truth and peace, even when it comes at the cost of social acceptance. It reflects a willingness to move forward without guarantees.

The song was the second written for Dogma and developed from an earlier piece by Joshua. Its early creation helped shape the direction of the album, both thematically and sonically. Its reception in live settings has reinforced its place as a defining track in this cycle.

With Dogma, LUNGBURNER continues to explore themes of identity, belief, and autonomy through a direct and uncompromising sound. "Apostasy" offers a clear introduction to the record’s core ideas.

Dogma arriving in full on April 17.

About LUNGBURNER:

LUNGBURNER is an Atlanta, Georgia based heavy music band formed in Athens, Georgia in 2023 by guitarist and vocalist Jens Anderberg, guitarist Joseph Mills, and drummer Dylan Mincey. The band quickly developed a reputation for combining the crushing weight of southern sludge and doom with industrial textures, progressive songwriting, and atmospheric melody. Current members include Jens Anderberg on guitar and lead vocals, Joseph Mills on guitar and backup vocals, and Joshua Broughton on bass, with a new drummer currently being finalized.

Drawing influence from artists such as YOB, HIGH ON FIRE, KILLING JOKE, NINE INCH NAILS, PRINCE, SLOMATICS, OPETH, LED ZEPPELIN, and MINISTRY, LUNGBURNER creates rhythmically mature heavy music built on downtuned guitars, layered samples and synth textures, and dynamic song structures. Their sound blends the density of doom with progressive timing and melodic depth while maintaining a powerful live energy.

The band released their debut album Embers in January 2024 followed by their sophomore record Natura Duale in September 2024 through Electric Desert Records, along with the standalone single "Misery" in 2024. Both releases helped establish the band within the underground heavy music scene, earning placements including #32 on the Doom Charts in September 2024, Rob Hammer Band of the Year 2024, Weedian Top 100 of 2024, and Monster Riff Top 75 of 2024.

LUNGBURNER has performed widely across the southeastern United States, appearing at festivals such as Tampa Doom & Gloom Fest, Gravitoid Heavy Music Doomfest, Seismic Fest, ATL Doom Fest, Stoned Riff Revival, and AthFest, while also touring the region in 2025 on the Fall Into Darkness Tour with FALSE GODS. Additional highlights include opening for BARONESS at their Atlanta New Year's Eve 2025 performance and headlining Doomed and Stoned Fest in Asheville, North Carolina.

Outside of music, all members work professionally in various engineering fields, and none of them originally came from traditional doom or stoner rock backgrounds. Their approach to the genre grew organically from a shared appreciation for heavy music and experimentation, which continues to shape the band's evolving sound as they move toward a more progressive direction while maintaining their doom foundation.

LUNGBURNER is:

Jens Anderberg — guitar, lead vocals
Joseph Mills — guitar, backup vocals
Joshua Broughton — bass

Via Doloris Premiere Debut Album Guerre et Paix

Via Doloris is rooted in an inward journey rather than orthodoxy. Conceived in solitude and shaped by discipline, composer and multi-instrumentalist Gildas Le Pape (ex-Satyricon) traces a melodic, atmospheric and introspective path through black metal’s foundations. On debut album Guerre et Paix, he’s joined by Frost, the legendary drummer of Satyricon and 1349, who provides a sense of persistence, grounded and unyielding.  

Guerre et Paix comes out this Friday, March 20 on Season of Mist, but you can hear all seven piercing songs today by listening to the full album stream on Black Metal Promotion.

Listen to Guerre et Paix Below:

Pre-save & Pre-order

https://orcd.co/viadolorisguerreetpaix

Born in Brittany, France, and based in Oslo, Le Pape first gained attention as guitarist in Satyricon from 2007 to 2013, touring extensively and contributing to the band’s self-titled album. After stepping away to explore a broad range of musical directions, he returned to extreme music with a renewed creative vision and sharpened intent. Via Doloris represents the culmination of that journey: a project shaped by solitude, discipline and an uncompromising sense of craft.

Rooted in Nordic black metal tradition yet guided by melody, restraint and emotional depth, Via Doloris occupies a space distinct from genre convention. Le Pape writes all music and lyrics, performing guitars, bass and vocals. The compositions favor measured, expressive arcs over aggression or spectacle, with melody serving as the driving force rather than ornamentation. Folk and pagan influences surface throughout the arrangements, lending the album a timeless, almost ritualistic atmosphere. Lyrics shift between French, English and Norwegian, each language chosen deliberately for its emotional weight and texture.

Frost’s nuanced playing adds both weight and subtlety to the record. Guest vocals on "Omniprésents" are performed by the late Raido (Ferriterium, Heimsgard, Karne).

Based in Oslo, Gildas Le Pape first gained attention in 2007 when he joined the legendary Satyricon as a guitarist. Over the next six years, he toured the world and contributed to the band’s recorded legacy, before stepping away to explore a broad range of musical directions. In time, this path led him back to extreme music, this time with a renewed creative vision and sharpened intent. In 2023, he invited his long-time collaborator, Frost — arguably one of the most accomplished drummers in the genre — to join him in bringing the debut release to life.

Cursed Awakening Unleashes New Single “The Rift” From Upcoming Album Path Of The Soul

CURSED AWAKENING has released their new single, “The Rift,” taken from their upcoming album Path Of The Soul, due out August 2026.

“The Rift” jumps straight into the verse riff, a jumpy, chaotic and energetic thrashy riff that sets the pace immediately. After its relentless opening, the song suddenly slows into a more melodic bridge that opens into dual lead harmonies. The momentum builds again with a solo before dropping into a breakdown. The track then returns to the second verse riff at a faster tempo and closes with the chorus.

The structure mirrors the central theme of the song. It begins with speed and intensity, slows into reflection, and then surges forward again before breaking apart. The pacing reflects the internal fracture at the heart of the story.

“The Rift” represents a turning point in the narrative of Path Of The Soul. The concept character finds himself deep in the consequences of bad decisions and prolonged suffering. At this point he experiences a mental schism, realizing he must decide whether to continue on his path or attempt to repair the damage he has caused.

The rift itself is a mental dialogue. The character recognizes that the self deception in his life had become his “dominion,” a failed life he created and continued to defend. This realization is captured in the line that appears just before the breakdown: “I’ve burned my life to ash, I am my own demise, entombed in my own lies.”

During early development the band referred to the song as “The Riff.” Through several iterations of the track, the opening riff remained unchanged and ultimately became the foundation for the finished version.

“The Rift” will appear on Path Of The Soul, the upcoming full length album from CURSED AWAKENING, scheduled for release in August 2026.

Stripping the song down to its emotional core, the new rendition highlights the vulnerability and introspective weight behind the original track, offering listeners a more intimate perspective on one of the band’s most powerful songs.

While the original song - released in May 2025 via ROAR here - gained attention for its dynamic blend of heavy modern metal and raw emotional intensity, the piano version reveals another layer of the song’s meaning.

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY RELEASE DEVASTATING NEW TRACK

No rest for the wicked. Since the release of their latest full-length, The Nothing That Is, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY has remained in constant motion. Today, the band marks the kickoff of their massive US tour alongside headliners LAMB OF GOD by unleashing a brand-new standalone single: 'The Wretch.'

Driven by relentless galloping riffs and punishing percussion, 'The Wretch' features the band's trademark earth-shattering breakdowns balanced by haunting, melodic layers in the chorus. It’s the definitive soundtrack for their return to the stage.

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY's Will Putney states, “True to our general nature, "The Wretch" is another relatively pessimistic and grim glimpse into our worldly outlook.  In a time where nothing seems to be getting any better at home or abroad, we find there can always be a moment of comfort in the thought of burning it all down.  We hope this song is that temporary oasis for you as well.  Thank you for listening.”

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY released their seventh studio album The Nothing That Is which featured the singles 'Hostage', 'Savior Of None / Ashes Of All', 'Lower Purpose', and 'Red Horizon'. Stream/purchase The Nothing That Is at https://ffaa.bfan.link/the-nothing-that-is

About:
FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s acclaimed 2022 album On What the Future Holds was the band’s highest-charting release to date, becoming the first of their six full-lengths to reach the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. But while some musicians would take such an achievement as a cue to duplicate whatever worked last time, or maybe even tailor their sound to boost its commercial appeal, the band—vocalist Joe Badolato, guitarists Will Putney, Patrick Sheridan, and Tim Howley, bassist Peter Spinazola, and drummer Josean Orta—simply continued to evolve along their own path. The Nothing That Is, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s seventh and latest album (and third for Nuclear Blast), bears no sign whatsoever of commercial concession or rehashed past glories. Instead, the ten-song album finds the band exploring moodier textures and deeper emotions that add new power and dynamics to their already brutal and complex music, while also completely tuning out the ambient noise of passing musical trends and the expectations of the outside world. Produced by Putney at his Graphic Nature Audio studio in Kinnelon, New Jersey, The Nothing That Is is an album filled with anger, frustration, and crushing despair. Songs like "Hostage", "Red Horizon", "Lower Purpose", and the pummeling title track grapple with the horrors that the human race has unnecessarily inflicted upon the world, while the epic, introspective closer "The Silver Sun" reflects bitterly upon our uncertain future. Built to be listened to in its entirety in a single sitting, The Nothing That Is flows like the gripping soundtrack to a documentary film of our increasingly dystopian existence. A ringing wake-up call for humanity and a thoroughly intense listening experience, The Nothing That Is brims with both aggression and melody, it's bracing music is delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and forged its sense of purpose through fifteen-plus years of all-out live shows. Sufficiently secure of their place in the metal firmament to let their music go wherever feels right for a particular song, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY have delivered what may well be the greatest album of their career.

Frontman Felix Stass explains:
"'Born' is about feeling out of place in your own time and world. It’s for everyone who has ever felt they don’t belong - yet keeps standing."

Formed in 1991 in Mannheim, Germany, CREMATORY have become one of the most enduring and influential acts in European gothic metal. Over more than three decades, the band evolved from their early death metal roots into a distinctive style combining heavy riffs, melodic keyboards, industrial textures, and contrasting vocal approaches.

Throughout their career, CREMATORY have explored themes of life, pain, introspection, and atmosphere, often blending deep growls with clean vocals to create a sound both powerful and haunting. Their growth in the 1990s brought them recognition across Europe through relentless touring and festival appearances.

The upcoming Greatest Hits album reflects the band’s bilingual legacy. English Hymns & Deutsche Hymnen gathers key tracks from across their catalogue in both languages and also includes the band’s earliest demo recordings, offering fans a comprehensive retrospective of CREMATORY’s long and influential journey.

In support of the release, the band will embark on an extensive European run throughout 2026.

With 35 years of history, countless tours, and a legacy that helped shape European gothic, death and industrial metal, Greatest Hits stands as both a celebration of CREMATORY’s past and a powerful reminder that the band remains as vital as ever!

DROP DEAD, GORGEOUS Unleash "Ghosts"

Drop Dead, Gorgeous emerged in the mid-2000s with an emotionally charged take on post-hardcore that helped define the era. As teenagers from Denver, their 2006 debut In Vogue became a landmark for Rise Records, blending synth-laced breakdowns, theatrical flair, and raw vulnerability. Follow-up albums like Worse Than a Fairy Tale and The Hot N' Heavy cemented their place in the scene, influencing a wave of bands that followed.

The tastemakers at VICE tipped the band as that which helped to "perfect a style of post-hardcore that other bands would model themselves after. Where other bands in the scene would regurgitate the same testosterone-tinged bro-rock, Drop Dead, Gorgeous made their mark by putting [emotional] vulnerability into song."

After a decade-long hiatus, core members Daniel "Stills" Stillman, Danny Cooper, and Jake Hansen returned in 2024 with a string of surprise shows and, in 2025, released their first new music in years with the single "Six Feet." The followup "Burn" continued that momentum. They closed out 2025 with "Sink Your Teeth."

"'GHOSTS' captures the feeling of drowning in chaos while daring us to face the flames instead of looking away," says Stills. "It's dark, visceral, and impossible to ignore."

APOSTLE Release New Single and Video "Distortions of Light"

"Distortions of Light" is the new single and video to arrive from ATLANTA, GA metal trio APOSTLE. With a sound designed to encourage emotional connection and catharsis, APOSTLE entwine elements from grindcore and hardcore, post-black metal, shoegaze and post-rock. The band's upcoming full-length album A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, is set for release on June 5, 2026 via Terminus Hate City. 

"Distortions of Light" begins with a recording of E.E. Cummings offering advice to students and aspiring writers. As he states,  “…but the moment you feel, you are nobody but yourself”, it is here that APOSTLE's sonic expression takes charge. 

The musical arrangement is intended to evoke a sense of unease, "the listener is cast without reason into a world of darkness and confusion, the song lurches forward through a barren wasteland of murky and ominous melodies" the band explain. Melodies "beckon the listener like a will-o’-the-wisp to follow down some unseen path to discover what lies beyond the distortions of light."

The imagery and metaphor of the narrative, as envisioned by APOSTLE, is rooted in the concept of reality being represented by a giant diamond suspended in the sky. Upon breaking, and the splinters falling to earth, it is a distorted version of reality that is revealed in the fragments on the ground. 

The album title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, grief, and self-examination. Across six tracks and 27 minutes, the band move through themes of loss, mortality, internal conflict, and eventual healing. The record serves as both a meditation on the human condition and a deeply personal tribute shaped by grief and remembrance.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Connor Ray at Sobek Sound and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE in their most refined and expansive form.

Pre-order A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon here: https://www.terminushatecity.com/product-page/preorder-apostle-a-splinter-in-the-infinite-noumenon-lp

Their latest album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, represents the band’s most fully realized work to date. Drawing from existential philosophy and deeply personal experiences with grief and remembrance, the record explores humanity’s connection to something greater while acknowledging the struggle inherent in being human. Across its runtime, APOSTLE seek connection through shared emotional experience, transforming personal suffering into collective release.

CHRONICLER OF ARDUL Releases New Single "Zarek the Bloody" Ahead of Upcoming Album Sounds of Ardul

The fantasy-driven project CHRONICLER OF ARDUL unveils its latest single, "Zarek the Bloody," offering listeners their first glimpse into the evolving sound and storytelling of the upcoming album Sounds of Ardul, set for release April 10, 2026.

Framed as one final bard’s song, "Zarek the Bloody" explores the blurred line between legend and truth. In the world of Ardul, bards carry the responsibility of immortalizing heroes and villains alike, singing of their triumphs, their infamy, and the complicated truths that lie somewhere in between. Zarek is one such figure, a renowned and widely traveled warrior whose reputation precedes him wherever the songs are sung.

Driven by accordion, bass, percussion, and vocals by David Williams, the track presents Zarek as both myth and man. The verses paint him as a heroic wanderer worthy of praise, while the choruses suggest something more ambiguous beneath the legend. Like many figures etched into history through song, Zarek’s story may depend on who is telling it, or perhaps who commissioned it to be told.

The composition began its life on guitar before evolving into its final arrangement built around accordion, giving the piece a brooding folk character reminiscent of the opening theme from the television series Peaky Blinders. As the song developed, its lyrics shifted and reshaped until the narrative and melody aligned, revealing a layered portrait of a character whose true nature remains open to interpretation.

Zarek himself plays a role in the creator’s larger fantasy trilogy, and "Zarek the Bloody" offers an early glimpse of the character’s presence within that story. The song hints at the deeds that built his legend and raises new questions. Is the feared warrior truly the hero the verses celebrate? And what of the cursed blade whispered about in taverns and camps alike? Could Zarek possess the legendary Sword of Virné?

The single arrives ahead of Sounds of Ardul, the third release from CHRONICLER OF ARDUL. The album represents a new creative direction for the project, leaving behind metal elements in favor of orchestral and fantasy-focused compositions.

In wide brush strokes, Sounds of Ardul paints the emotional landscape of its world. From the dark beauty of the Woodlands to the lurking depths of the Underground, from heroic calls to arms to uneasy encounters with figures whose true nature remains hidden. The album plays like a video game soundtrack set within a classic fantasy setting, built for immersion and storytelling.

And like many great adventures, it all begins in a tavern, with bards singing songs.

"Zarek the Bloody" is available now. Sounds of Ardul arrives April 10, 2026.

Dirty. Groove. Rock. Crobot Unleash High-Octane New Single “Foot Off” From Upcoming Album Supermoon

With “Foot Off,” CROBOT doubles down on the groove that made them dangerous in the first place. The track plows forward on a bluesy bone tingling riff and a chorus built to cut through the roar of a vintage American muscle car. It’s a full-throttle return to the band’s Dirty Groove Rock roots—raw, electrified, and impossible to ignore.

Hard rock powerhouse CROBOT is back with a thunderous new single, “Foot Off,” offering fans another taste of the band’s upcoming album Supermoon. Known for their signature blend of groove-heavy riffs, explosive energy, and undeniable swagger, CROBOT once again proves why they remain one of the most electrifying bands in modern rock.

“Foot Off” hits like a runaway freight train from the opening riff, combining crunchy guitar work, pounding drums, and the unmistakable powerhouse vocals of frontman Brandon Yeagley. The track delivers an adrenaline-fueled anthem built around the idea of pushing forward without hesitation—never slowing down and never taking your foot off the gas.

"Foot Off" puts us right back in the driver's seat of charging our way through open highways at break neck speed with our destination set to our Dirty Groove Rock roots. This one is for the fans that have been with us from the beginning and fans that want to know exactly what we're all about - still after 15 years of being a band." 

- Brandon Yeagley

“It’s somewhere between ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and Clutch. Right where I like to be baby. I’m happy we are back to funkin’. Ever since I was a wee little boy, that’s what’s always got my

motor running.” - Bishop

Lyrically, the song channels themes of determination, rebellion, and relentless drive. It’s a track that captures CROBOT'S high-energy spirit while encouraging listeners to keep charging ahead no matter the obstacles in

their path.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.’s eagerly awaited follow-up to late 2025’s pit anthem “BACK WHEEL STOMP,” is the sound of pure mayhem; a runaway freightliner as it barrels through earholes on a path of sonic destruction.

Commenting on the track the band says:

“We’re super stoked for this track! This idea had been in the tank for a while and we were all very excited to finally bring it to fruition.

SABATON RELEASE BATTLE-READY NEW SINGLE + MUSIC VIDEO "YAMATO" IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WORLD OF WARSHIPS

Making another major move and breaking down walls once again, the Swedish masters of heavy metal Sabaton have joined forces with leading historically accurate naval multiplayer game, World of Warships, and released a brand new single and music video entitled "Yamato" — available in-game and on all DSPs now. It is being released by BETTER NOISE MUSIC on the heels of 2025'sLEGENDS, which marked Sabaton's first album for the label. "Crossing The Rubicon" (Feat. Nothing More) from the album was also the band's first-ever Top 10 single on the Billboard Rock Chart.

This song notably marks the second World of Warships collaboration between the band and developer Wargaming following the mega-popular "Bismarck."  For the first time, a Sabaton-branded Yamato is also available in World of Warships in addition to dialogue by vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström. Along with different bespoke items in game, Joakim Brodén can take the helm of the ship while the standard battle soundtrack replaced by “Yamato” or “Bismarck”, transforming every engagement into an epic metal experience.

Watch the official video Below.

Stream "YAMATO" HERE.

As history will tell you, "Yamato" was the name of a massive Japanese battleship constructed in-secret and unveiled during 1941 as the most dominant vessel of its kind. Designed to win at naval warfare, it represented the ultimate floating symbol of strength. In 1945, it famously hit the high seas on a suicide mission to defend Okinawa. Despite ceaseless fire from aircraft above and an opposing fleet of a far greater number on the water, the "Yamato" and its crew never gave up. Instead, they literally battled until the bitter end when a huge explosion rendered a deathblow to the ship. It sank in a blaze of glory…

As part of the alliance with World of Warships and Wargaming, the band filmed the accompanying music video in Belgrade, Serbia last October. Quite fittingly, it depicts Sabaton aboard the titular ship during its last stand, descending into the unforgiving ocean as the band hangs on for dear life. Waves consume the deck, but each member keeps playing his instrument even as the chaos swallows the guys up one-by-one.

Testing their mettle in real-life, the musicians faced brutally frigid temperatures, weathering a continuous blast of ice-cold water for the duration of the shoot. The band remained submerged in freezing waters with the help of ventilators. Pushing it to the max, the guys even wore weights beneath their stage clothes to truly evoke the sensation of sinking. Maintaining the highest level of safety protocol, professional divers assisted Sabaton throughout.

COLIN STOUGH TAKES ON HARD LESSONS EARLY WITH “21 YEAR OLD MAN BLUES”

Mississippi native Colin Stough digs deeper into the weight of growing up too fast with his gripping new release, “21 Year Old Man Blues,” available now. Listen Below.

Written by Stough alongside Brandon Hood and Marc Beeson and produced by Hood, the track captures the restless tension of youth carrying consequences beyond its years. Set against a gritty, Delta-inspired backdrop, “21 Year Old Man Blues” blends swampy guitar tones, sparse but driving rhythm, and Stough’s signature gravel-edged vocal to deliver a sound steeped in the raw, lived-in spirit of his home state.

“‘21-Year-Old Man Blues’ is about being a young fella and feeling the old man blues,” Stough shares. “It’s about constantly feeling like you're running from something. Brandon Hood and I wrote the song and two days later we were cutting vocals on it. I told him I wanted it to sound like Mississippi with the instrumentation and he absolutely nailed it.”

Through vivid storytelling that moves from Tupelo to the Delta and out onto the open road, the song follows a young man wrestling with mistakes, expectations, and the heavy cost of living wild. It’s a stark, cinematic portrait of reckoning and survival, and another example of Stough’s ability to turn hard truths into compelling, no-frills country storytelling.

With a skinned-raw delivery and an instinct for songs rooted in real life, Stough continues to build momentum as one of the genre’s most authentic emerging voices. He will continue releasing new music and connecting with fans on the road throughout 2026.

About Colin Stough

Born and raised on the Mississippi-Alabama line, 21-year-old Colin Stough was brought up on Southern rock and second chances. A self-taught guitarist and gravel-voiced storyteller influenced by The Allman Brothers, Conway Twitty, and Koe Wetzel, he first picked up a guitar at age eight, later trading prized possessions for a pawn shop acoustic he still plays today. After high school, he worked full-time as an HVAC tech until his mom pushed him to audition for American Idol Season 21. That leap launched a life-changing ride, including a standout third-place finish, a deal with 19 Recordings/BMG Nashville, and breakout songs like “Sober,” “’Til The Day One Does,” and the hard-edged anthem “White Trash.” With a skinned-raw vocal and lyrics carved from lived experience, Stough has built a loyal following of more than 800k across social platforms. His EPs Promiseland and Lookin’ For Homeoffer a no-frills portrait of a young man navigating life with Southern grit, while releases including “White Trash,” “20 Bucks,” and “Best For You” showcase his no-holds-barred storytelling. His new track, “21 Year Old Man Blues,” continues that trajectory, pairing Delta-rooted grit with a hard-lived perspective well beyond his years. On the road, he has opened for acts like Chase Matthew, Drake White, and Kidd G as he continues to build his audience one show at a time. A student of Skynyrd and the outlaw spirit, Stough isn’t chasing trends. He’s telling the underdog’s truth, one song at a time.

TESTAMENT's lauded new album, Para Bellum, stands as both a battle cry and an observation of humanity's uneasy alliance with its own creations. As technology accelerates and disconnection grows, Para Bellum sees TESTAMENT reflecting the modern chaos through music that’s urgent, sharp, and unflinchingly human.
