Savage Lands Premiere Star-Studded Album

After hearing firsthand how land developers are tearing down Costa Rica's rain forest, two angry metal heads decided they weren't going to sit around and rust in peace. Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren and his old guitarist Sylvain Demercastel started Savage Lands, the music industry's first artist-run environmental non-profit.   

100% of the royalties from Savage Lands' debut album support their ongoing preservation projects in Costa Rica and other countries. Army of the Trees comes out this Friday, February 14, but you can hear all 10 star-studded songs today by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel. 

"Metalheads have always been powerful and passionate people in my eyes", says Arch Enemy front woman Alissa White-Gluz, who stars as the queen of the jungle on the latest single from Army of the Trees. "I hold deep gratitude for Savage Lands and their relentless work in safeguarding the fragile beauty of Costa Rica's ecosystem".   

Listen to Army of the Trees below.

Savage Lands' roots run deep. Dirk and Sylvain first met in France during the late ‘90s, when they both played in the socially conscious thrash metal band Artsonic. But like the limbs of a tree, the organization is supported across many different fields. They partner with local scientists, forest engineers, ecological parks and other non-profits on the ground in Costa Rica, as well as international organizations like Hellfest, who are donating 1 million Euro to Savage Lands over the next five years. 

"Nature is music. Trees have music", says Dr. Jane Goodall, whose global institute is partnering with the metal non-profit's European branch on preservation projects in France and Africa. "Savage Lands are using their music to support projects that promote biodiversity, which will help make the world better for future generations". 

Whether they're out planting trees or hunkered down in the studio, Savage Lands foster the spirit of collaboration. Any metal supporter will recognize Dirk's swiveling left foot behind the drum kit. But alongside Sylvain's shredding solos and melodic riffs, the core band is backed by Loco Muerte's Florian Pons and Poun and Etienne Treton from veteran French metalcore band Black Bomb A. 

"When Sylvain and Dirk introduced us to Savage Lands at Hellfest in 2023, we instantly saw the passion and necessity behind this endeavor and were absolutely thrilled by the opportunity", says Chris Harms and Pi Stoffers of Lord of the Lost, who pour their blood and glitter into the chest-pounding "Out of Breath". "Music can not only offer a refuge to every single person on this earth, but it can be used as a sanctuary for the existential nature around us".   

Army of the Trees is loaded with more metallic force. "The Last Howl"pays a fitting tribute to the endangered howler monkey. Sepultura guitarist Andreas Kisser swings through not one, but two acrobatic solos, and Obituary swamp king John Tardy unleashes his inner primate with some ferocious, spit-flinging growls. While a wicked downpicked stroke of black 'n' roll, "Black Rock Heart" aims at more spiritual concerns. Channeling protective powers from the Obsidian stone, visionary artist Chloé Trujillo and Heilung's chief of ceremonies Kai Uwe Faust warn of a doomsday scenario that's unfolding right before our eyes. 

"Supporting what Savage Lands is doing was an easy decision", says fellow Heilung warrior Maria Franz, whose soothing high notes grace the melancholic power ballad “No Remedy”. The Nordic collective  donated $1 for every ticket sold during their most-recent U.S. tour to their Season of Mist labelmates.  
Army of the Trees hammers its message home with Francophone force. Eight pillars from the French metal scene join Savage Lands on the album's roaring title track in the fight to protect the world's ecosystems. "Now is the time to take a stand" they shout, bonded together in a fierce rallying cry. 

"Our goals are attainable", say Dirk and Sylvain. "By converting the land that we purchase into nature sanctuaries, Savage Lands will help set a precedent for environmental activism. But we must work together and quickly. Ecosystems are still under attack. If we don’t, then there won’t be any wildlife left to save”.

Raise your horns and join the Army of the Trees in support of the metal non-profit.

Just listening toArmy of the Treeshelps support Savage Lands. 100% of the song’s royalties fund the musician-run non-profit’s preservation efforts.

The CD Digisleeve for Army of the Trees is made from eco paper, while the LP is pressed on BioVinyl.

Dorothy Shares Official "Tombstone Town" Video (Feat. Slash) — WATCH // Announces Tour Dates

Rock sensation DOROTHY is kicking off 2025 with a bang, confirming her forthcoming headline tour immediately following the premiere of her trailblazing new music video for "Tombstone Town," featuring legendary guitarist Slash. All dates and details are below, including select support acts and key festival appearances.

 The single, a gritty, boot-stomping anthem, which landed on Rolling Stone's "Songs You Need To Know" list and was lauded as a hit by Forbes, has been steadily climbing the charts and just hit No. 14 at Active Rock Radio — a testament to its undeniable power and Dorothy's growing impact in the rock world. 

Watch the official music video for "Tombstone Town," which was directed by Rich Ragsdale, below. 

The video made its broadcast premiere on MTV Live, MTVU, and MTV Biggest Pop, marking a career milestone for Dorothy as she continues her meteoric rise.

"I'm so honored to have Slash join me on 'Tombstone Town,'" says Dorothy. "The song is an excerpt from my diary — born out of betrayal and heartache. The music video has a plot twist at the end, but ultimately, I wanted to send a message of forgiveness and resilience, rather than revenge. Writing this song was therapy for me."

Slash himself sums it up perfectly: "'Tombstone Town' is a sexy rock 'n' roll grind, featuring Dorothy's inimitable swagger and a killer guitar hook." 

Building on the momentum of the single, Dorothy is hitting the road for a headline tour in support of her highly anticipated new album, The Way, arriving March 14 via Roc Nation. The album is truly a watershed moment for the artist, ultimately cementing her place among hard rock's elite players.  Pre-order it here.

About the album, the vocalist enthuses, "This album is a love letter to the fans. I'm letting them know everything is going to be okay, and we'll help each other find the way — even if we get lost at times."

The aforementioned tour dates are below, including what is sure to be a show-stopping performance at Welcome to Rockville in May.

5/18 — Ocean City, MD — Boardwalk Rock*
*FESTIVAL

Projecting a full-bodied voice with every inch of her being, Dorothy Martin kindles a spark of hope into a flame as bright as the sun itself. The Budapest, Hungary-born maverick singer, songwriter, performer, and frontwoman of the Los Angeles-based eponymous band, Dorothy brings gusto, grit, and glory back to hard rock, exuding superstar-size confidence coupled with the quiet resolve of an old school Western anti-hero. She has unassumingly blazed her own trail with sold out tours, major collaborations, and over 1 billion streams already in the rearview. 

However, her vision really catches fire on her fourth full-length album, The Way[Roc Nation].

Dorothy arrived with the force of a hurricane back in 2016, serving up the full-length debut ROCKISDEAD. Surging on all platforms on which fans discover new music, "Raise Hell" reeled in over 85 million Spotify streams followed by "Wicked Ones" with 77 million Spotify streams. The band organically attracted a diehard global fanbase with 28 Days in the Valley [2018] and Gifts From The Holy Ghost [2022]. KERRANG! hailed the latter as "a hot-blooded rock ‘n' roll record through and through," and RIFF raved, "Holy Ghost serves as a triumphant battle cry and a return to form." Perhaps, Outburn put it best, "It's her most bombastic and gloriously, victorious rock and roll work yet." Simultaneously, the singer took flight as the rare dynamo equally at home on a track with Slash and Nita Strauss of Alice Cooper or Staind and Scott Stapp of Creed. She even notably dueted with Stapp at the Grand Ole Opry. 

Over the course of 2024, she carefully architected what would become The Way alongside songwriter and producer Scott Stevens [Halestorm, Shinedown, Daughtry]. Expanding the creative palette, they leaned into heavier rock spiked with a healthy helping of Southern swagger and country-style storytelling.

FORMER SPIN DOCTORS GUITARIST ANTHONY KRIZAN JOINS DEKO ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM "COOL SHADE OF BLUE" FEATURING "WHITE LINES" SINGLE OUT NOW

Anthony Krizan’s rock roots run deep. He was lead guitarist of the Spin Doctors, opening 15 dates for the Rolling Stones with audiences
of 70,000, and for the Allman Brothers. He played guitar with Jimi Hendrix’s legendary bassist, Noel Redding and is an original member of Amphibian, with Phish lyricist Tom Marshall. Anthony has also penned rock/soul staples such as Stand By My Woman with Lenny Kravitz, 5 songs on the Spin Doctors Greatest Hits, the theme of the Spin City TV series and The Howard Stern “Miss America” theme. Recently, Krizan co-wrote the title track to former Baby’s singer and solo artist John Waite’s 2022 EP, Anything, and also co-wrote the title track to John Waite’s Mercury release When You Were Mine.

But Anthony’s true passion lies in his solo work. Anthony’s solo band performances and songs are an electrifying, swampy, rock/blues/soul, genre crossing solo-coaster ride. His latest single “White Lines” has a slamming blues infused groove and Krizan explains the inspiration, ““White Lines” is a nod to one of my biggest guitar influences and heroes Jimi Hendrix. I set out to write a song that had the vibe and spirit of Voodoo Child. I played with Noel Redding, Hendrix ‘s bassist for about 10 years on and off. I hope Noel and Jimi are looking down and smiling and saying yeah man thank you.”

Watch “White Lines” below:

Cool Shade of Blue was produced by Krizan at his Sonic Boom Studios and has thirteen tracks in total, featuring other standout tracks like “Into The Groove”, Strawberry Wine”, and “Sin and Redemption”. Cool Shade of Blue as well as Krizan’s previous release Dust And Bone are both now available through Deko Entertainment.

Changeling Announce Debut Album (ex-Obscura)

With the arrival of Changeling, a boldly progressive new chapter in the history of death metal is bound to unfold. Conceived by fretless guitar virtuoso Tom "Fountainhead" Geldschläger - who's previously played with Amogh Symphony, Belphegor, Defeated Sanity and Obscura - this new project dives into the deepest recesses of our subconscious, where realities' boundaries blend into the infinite possibilities unlocked by the imagination.

On Changeling's self-titled debut album, Geldschläger is joined by core band members drummer Mike Heller (ex-Fear Factory, Malignancy, Raven), vocalist Morean (Alkaloid, ex-Dark Fortress) and bassist Arran McSporran (Virvum, Vipassi). The album also features contributions from Bill Hudson (Trans-Siberain Orchestra, Doro, I Am Morbid), Jason Gobel (ex-Cynic, ex-Monstrosity), Yatziv Caspi (ex-Orphaned Land), James Dorton (Ne Obliviscaris, Black Crown Initiate), Andy Laroque (ex-Death, King Diamond), plus more special guests, including a 50-piece orchestra.  

The album's lead single is the ultimate immersion into subconsciousness. "Abyss" is impossibly heavy; cavernous vocals, crushing guitars, gravity-defying orchestration and a microtonal choir inspired by avant-garde composer György Sándor Ligeti sink into ego-death, only to swirl into transcendence.     
 

Watch  the video for "Abyss" below:

Changeling comes out April 25th via Season of Mist.

Pre-order & Pre-save
https://orcd.co/changelingchangeling

Geldschläger is already widely considered a modern-day guitar legend. His fearless fretless guitar playing has earned endorsements from Aristides Guitars, Neural DSP Plug-ins, Steinberg Software, Loxx Products, Engl Amplification, Deadweald Audio Engineering, Elixir Strings, MONO cases and Bareknuckle Pickups. But while he's already pushed technical death metal to further extremes - most noticeably on "Weltseele", the 15-minute epic that he contributed to Obscura's album Akróasis - Changeling defies all categorization.     

"Abyss" serves as both a mirror and a gateway. The lead single off Changeling's debut album is the culmination of an evolution that is years in the making. Unblemished by studio trickery, the song is reflective and introspective while also charting new sonic dimensions that are as vibrant and otherworldly as a dream. 

The video for "Abyss" was created by Chris Hesse / Strangeworks

In a significant development in early 2024, Fountainhead, now branded under the name CHANGELING for his new project and album, signed with the label Season of Mist. This venture marks a new chapter in Tom’s career, amplifying his visionary approach to music. Accompanied by an all-star band featuring members from Fear Factory, Alkaloid, and Virvum, the project CHANGELING showcases a 60-minute concept album that takes all aspects of Tom’s artistry to new heights.

The album, sharing its name with the project, blends progressive metal, death metal, jazz/fusion, and world music, enriched with complex orchestrations by a 50-piece ensemble of guest musicians. It includes the eagerly anticipated “Part 2” to his renowned composition “Weltseele,” an orchestral metal epic from Obscura’s billboard-chart-entering Akroasis album, which broadly introduced Fountainhead to the metal community in 2016.

Tom Fountainhead (ex-Obscura, Amogh Symphony, Belphegor, Defeated Sanity) - Fretted & fretless electric & acoustic guitars, oud, keyboards, composition and arrangements.

Gritty, Grunge-Infused Heavy Rockers ROLLIN' COFFIN Release New Single "Sun and Rain" + Visualizer via Static Era Records

Today, gritty, grunge-infused heavy rockers ROLLIN' COFFIN, the latest musical venture from Vision of Disorder and Bloodsimple veteran Tim Williams, deliver their new single "Sun and Rain" via Static Era Records. The track is accompanied by a visualizer.

Currently sitting at #4 on the Metal Contraband and NACC Heavy radio charts respectively, "Sun and Rain" marks the reunion between producer Machine (Lamb of God, Clutch, Suicide Silence) and Tim Williams (Vision of Disorder, Bloodsimple), who last worked together on the landmark Bloodsimple album 'Red Harvest'.

Watch the Visualizer for "Sun and Rain" Below:

Commenting on "Sun and Rain", Tim Williams states:

"Getting back into the studio with Machine was a long time coming. We have a relationship that goes back 25 years. He is one of my favorite producers to work with, especially when it comes to vocals. My ideas for 'Sun and Rain' pretty much set when we started tracking the song. The vocals had to really carry the song; they needed to carry the song to the next level. The ideas started flying all over the place; the further we got the harder we worked, and the song was just getting bigger and better. It was a very exciting day in the studio, to say the least. 

"I’m always working on some sort of self-expression- mostly music, writing, and art. So I had the ruff demo to 'Sun and Rain' kicking around. I was away on vacation in a hot tub after a long ski day. The chorus just popped into my head, and I said to myself- this song has to be heard; it’s a killer song. When I got back to town, I immediately started brainstorming on production, scheduling, and flights. It came together very quickly and sure sign of a good idea. 

"The track is inspired by the forces cast upon us in life. The push and pull, the strength and fear, good and bad. These threads of light take us on our journeys. The randomness of it all and how in a moment, it all can be taken away. 'Who are you to take away my life.'“

Stream "Sun and Rain" HERE

Tim Williams has been a major influence in the Hardcore and Metal scenes since his early days fronting Vision of Disorder and Bloodsimple. ROLLIN' COFFIN marks the latest chapter in his storied career which has been constantly evolving and continuing to push the envelope. 

WARBRINGER Unleashes Explosive Second Single "The Sword And The Cross" | New Album "Wrath And Ruin" Out March 14

Modern thrash titans WARBRINGER recently set the world ablaze with the announcement of their highly anticipated new album, Wrath And Ruin, out March 14, 2025 via Napalm Records. Today, they return to unleash the furiously charged second single "The Sword And The Cross," alongside an official lyric video. 

"The Sword And The Cross" continues the band's righteous crusade for justice and riffs, lambasting listeners with unrelenting blasts, and unsettling, gothic guitar duels. Frontman John Kevill remains steadfast in his convictions, lyrically exploring the dismay of modern conditions through the voice of a medieval lord cruelly mocking the listener.

About the single, frontman Kevill says: "'The Sword and the Cross' was the first song we wrote for Wrath and Ruin and sets the tone for the album. We have a dark, epic thrashing number where a callous lord tells the audience how and why he owns them. First, establishing himself with brute violence (the Sword). Second, legitimating himself with ideology (the Cross). The end of the song was written first, where this lord says that he is still present, and reigns in skyscrapers rather than castles, that his sons will own your sons, and he will own you long after he dies. I love this section and it feels absolutely maniacal and evil to sing.

"One of the chief themes on the record is 'techno-feudalism.' Though our rulers may have given up their crowns and titles, they never relinquished their power. The modern lords are no less our masters than the medieval ones were. 

"Bend the knee, peasants, for we bring to you Wrath and Ruin. We bring the sword!"

Check Out "The Sword And The Cross" below.

Pre-Order New Album Wrath And Ruin HERE.

Wrath And Ruin's destructive opening duo of "The Sword And The Cross" and "A Better World" quickly kick the gates of cataclysm open with broodingly dark guitar work and virtuosic precision. Frontman John Kevill's passionate proclamations are as potent as ever, mocking those who scoffed at clear harbingers of societal collapse with their misguided optimism. "Neuromancer" rides low and steady with blast master Carlos Cruz putting some serious stank on an irresistible battle vest fist pumper. "The Jackhammer" sees the band explode into a frenzy with chaotic riffage and ear splitting pinch dives. "Through A Glass, Darkly" indulges in deliciously gothic chord work and melodic leads embellishing Kevill’s already hellish vocal fry. "Strike From The Sky" is trademark thrash excellence quickly followed by the atmospheric, true cult epic "Cage Of Air," with its tensely ornate dueling guitars on full display. Album closer "The Last Of My Kind" continues this dark gothic path with syncopated octave runs dancing around tightly dueling melodeath riffage.Wrath And Ruin sees WARBRINGER indulging in the darker elements of their sound, for an uncompromising and unflinching exploration of life’s most bitter pills.

WARBRINGER are currently gearing up to embark on the massive “Infernal Bleeding Over Europe 2025” tour in support of death metal legends Decapitated alongside Cryptopsy, and Carnation kicking off May 3, 2025 at London’s Incineration fest.

ROBIN MCAULEY Shares New Single "Wonders Of The World" + Visualizer

Today, ROBIN MCAULEY proudly shares a new single, titled "Wonders of the World", from his upcoming solo album, 'Soulbound,' due February 28th via Frontiers Music Srl.

About the single, ROBIN's co-writer Giancarlo Floridia states:

"'Wonders of the World' was a song presented to me by David Julian that I absolutely fell in love with and started working on together with Robin.

"I really feel as a writing team David, myself and Robin came up with something very special that I think you’re all going to enjoy.

"TURN IT UP!!!!!"

Watch the Visualizer for "Wonders Of The World"

His new solo album sees MCAULEY's voice continuing to defy time, sounding as inspired and powerful as ever. Definitively more guitar-driven straight hard rock compared to his previous albums, 'Soulbound' is still wonderfully melodic, infectious, and fist-in-the-air uplifting.

MCAULEY comments on the album:

"I can't wait to share Record #3 with you all from Frontiers Music SRL. 'Soulbound' is a much edgier, harder guitar-driven record than my previous two for the label. In addition, I'm working with a new producer from the Frontiers label, Aldo Lonobile, who brought these songs to life with his Kick-Ass production."

'Soulbound' showcases the respected Irish rock singer's desire to make a strong musical statement in what is proving to be his most creative period.

After reemerging on the recording side of the music industry with guest spots on

Michael Schenker Fest albums and tours in addition to fronting the hard rock supergroup Black Swan, MCAULEY was (and still is) feeling invigorated and ready to explore even more creative output to let the world see that his voice is still as powerful as ever.

Work for 'Soulbound' began in early 2024, following an intense musical period in between tour dates and studio work. With a slightly different production approach compared to the previous album, ROBIN’s vocal performance here is simply outstanding. Truly an iconic voice of the genre, 'Soulbound' solidly delivers the more hard and heavy aspects of this respected artist.

ROBIN's backing band includes some of the previous artists who appeared with him on previous efforts, including guitarist Andrea Seveso, as well as some new talent such as guitarist Alessandro Mammola and drummer Alfonso Mocerino.

'Soulbound' is produced by Aldo Lonobile.

Robin McAuley is widely recognized as one of the great singers of a golden period in hard rock music. His voice can be heard on albums from Grand Prix and Far Corporation, and of course, on the chart-topping MSG records 'Perfect Timing,' 'Save

Yourself,' and 'MSG.' Through these releases, he was introduced to hard rock fans around the globe, who no doubt recognized the inherent talent and skill in his vocal abilities.

Once he departed MSG, McAuley released one solo record in 1999, then joined AOR

legends Survivor. He then re-grouped with Schenker in Michael Schenker Fest on their recent records 'Resurrection' and 'Revelation,' And of course, in what was an absolute revelation to hard rock fans around the world, in 2020, he came out swingin' as the frontman of the supergroup Black Swan, where he joined forces with Reb Beach (Whitesnake, Winger), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr Big).

Goth rock stalwart THE AWAKENING shares 'Haunting', darkest taster of eponymous 12th album

Gothic Rock / Darkwave act The Awakening shares 'Haunting' with its new music video. This is the latest taster of their eponymous album, released via Intervention Arts on vinyl, CD, digitally and various limited-edition formats.

'Haunting' follows 'Mirror Midnight', which has already amassed over 1.1 million views, establishing The Awakening's return to its dark roots. Once again, Nyte created the music video in his trademark black-and-white format.

"'Haunting' is a celebration of old-school Gothic Rock, with a suitable dose of Post-Punk swagger and a wink at the camera. It's probably the most whimsical song on the album and one I greatly look forward to playing live later this year", says frontman Ashton Nyte. "I wanted the video to capture some campy Horror B-Movie goodness, and I am very happy with the result," says Ashton Nyte.

"After the intensity and social commentary of 'Mirror Midnight', it was a lot of fun to create a video on the other side of the spectrum. It is best enjoyed at very high volume!"

Now US-based, The Awakening was formed in Johannesburg, South Africa in the late ’90s as the creative expression of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Ashton Nyte, who was anointed as "Johannesburg's Bowie" for his widely varying musical styles and theatrical performances. Having morphed over the years, The Awakening's sound incorporates numerous genres, including gothic rock, darkwave, post-punk, electronic rock, folk noir, new wave and more.

'The Awakening' follows Nyte's second book and eighth solo album 'Autumn's Children', which was selected as one of American Songwriter's Top 17 Albums of 2023. This new album is a celebration of the band's roots and influences. The last two Awakening albums were departures, with 'This Alchemy' (2021) exploring the electronic side of his musical personality, and 'The Passage Remains' (2022) including his previously-unreleased heavier material.

Ashton Nyte is a core contributor to LA-based supergroup Beauty In Chaos, involved with every album released to date, including the latest 'Dancing With Angels' and 'Signs in the Heavens Reality Upside Down'. Nyte has collaborated with members of The Cure, The Mission, Tricky, Peter Murphy's band and All About Eve.

Having toured extensively and headlined music festivals in the USA, Europe, and South Africa to upwards of 30,000 people, Nyte has also written and performed in theatrical productions and hosted philanthropic events, including his “Rock Against Rape” concert series. He has also presented a lecture series at US universities focusing on tolerance and acceptance. Nyte is also an author and actor.

With a catalogue of over 300 songs, Ashton Nyte and The Awakening have enjoyed airplay and chart success worldwide, with songs featured in popular TV shows like 'Pretty Little Liars: Original Sin' and 'The Purge'. Nyte has contributed to several scores, working with composer Ethan Gold for 'Don't Let Go' (premiering at the Sundance Film Festival) and 'Pale Horse', directed by the late Pearry Teo.

'The Awakening' album is out now on vinyl, CD, digitally and limited-edition formats. It can be found on Spotify and other digital platforms, and can be ordered directly from the artist.  Tour dates will be announced soon with The Awakening set to tour extensively in the EU, USA, Mexico and the UK.

 https://septicflesh.bfan.link/amphibians

SEPTICFLESH has a remarkable ability to maintain continuity from album to album, while at the same time building on what has they have created in the past. Lyrical elements incorporated in all of their albums are based on opposites. For example, the ideas of heaven and hell, good and evil, or development and destruction have often served as metaphorical images in SEPTICFLESH's lyrics. Musically, the band also plays on opposites, using the dynamic differences between dissonant vs. melodic and dark vs. light to create a blend of gentle orchestral passages with the heavy wall of sound that produces something very unique in the world of Metal music. With the release of their most recent EP, Amphibians, SEPTICFLESH continues to create a story that is equally as compelling as the music. So, dive in and become immersed in the world of amphibian demigods, the Nommo. Behold the Amphibians!

Arch Enemy Heroine Joins Savage Lands on New Single

Feast your eyes on the blockbuster video for their star-studded new single and even those outside of the metal scene will know that Savage Lands are fierce defenders of our natural habitat. But this supergroup aren't acting when it comes to preserving the world's ecosystems. 

After witnessing how land developers are tearing down Costa Rica's rain forest, Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren and his old guitarist Sylvain Demercastel decided they weren't going to sit around and rust in peace. In 2022, they started Savage Lands, the music industry's first artist-run environmental non-profit.

100% of the royalties from the organization's first feature-length album support their ongoing preservation projects in Costa Rica and other countries. Army of the Trees features members of Sepultura, Heilung, Lord of the Lost and other metallic superstars. On the album's new single "Ruling Queen", Savage Lands call on metal's blue-haired heroine along with one of its strongest axemen to help defend their turf. 

"Art and activism converge in a space of meaning, and that is where I choose to stand", says Arch Enemy front woman Alissa White-Gluz. "Metalheads have always been powerful and passionate people in my eyes. I hold deep gratitude for Savage Lands and their relentless work in safeguarding the fragile beauty of Costa Rica's ecosystem".  

"It has been my pleasure and honor to be part of this unbelievable project", Obituary guitarist Kenneth Andrews says. "Let's do our part!"

Watch the video for "Ruling Queen" featuring Alissa White-Gluz and Kenneth Andrews below.

Army of the Trees comes out February 15, 2025 on Season of Mist.

Pre-order & Pre-save

Scenes from "Ruling Queen" were shot on location in the 100,000 square feet of high-risk Costa Rican rainforest that Savage Lands has preserved using royalties from their music. But while the video opens on a peaceful mountain vista, the rumble of drum fills from Loco Muerte's Florian Pons warn that trouble is afoot. Before the guitars can even sink their teeth into the song's biting riff, a band of armed soldiers come storming through the forest hellbent on turning a profit. 

It's a sight and sound that Savage Lands' co-founders know all too well. "After hearing chainsaws tear through Costa Rica on a daily basis, we knew it was time to act", says Sylvain, "because the buzzing is only getting louder".

Savage Lands is backed by environmental activists and angry metalheads alike. The world-famous Nordic collective Heilung donated $1 for every ticket sold during their most-recent U.S. tour to support their Season of Mist label mates. Hellfest followed by donating 1 million Euro to the organization over the next five years. During their performance on the main stage at last year's festival, Sylvain and the core band were joined by members of Napalm Death, Biohazard, Body Count, Textures, The Gathering, Nasum and Cultura tres. Savage Lands is also partnering with the Jane Goodall Institute on biodiversity projects in France and Africa. 

Now, with their new single, Savage Lands are adding the queen of the jungle to their ranks. As the softly swirling melody of "Ruling Queen" appears like a break in the clouds, who else should appear but the leading lady of the Swedish melodeath dynasty Arch Enemy. "Fall of the universe", Alissa White-Gluz sings as she stalks the video's unsuspecting invaders from the treetops. Even her soaring cleans are heavy with disdain for her soon-to-be prey. "We're nothing special, we're no heroes".  

Joining forces with Alissa came naturally to Savage Lands. While she and Dirk have crossed paths with their respective bands on the international touring circuit, they're also both vegans and animal rights advocates. "That's important to us", Dirk says about the partnership behind "Ruling Queen". "Obviously, it's great when Savage Lands receives support from a huge star like Alissa, but that she also buys into the philosophy behind our organization makes it even better".

Sharing similar beliefs about the environment led Savage Lands and the Arch Enemy front woman to develop an organic songwriting chemistry. Though slotted toward the top of the album's tracklist, "Ruling Queen" was one of the last songs that Sylvain and core vocalist Poun wrote for Army of the Trees. It came together quickly, too. Shredding leads, crashing cymbals and the booming bass of Poun's Black Bomb A bandmate Etienne Treton surge together into a raging chorus that's as powerful and free-flowing as a waterfall.

"The good songs tend to come together easily", Sylvain says, though Savage Lands needed some guidance from the song's namesake when carving out the verses. "Alissa is a true professional", he continues, "She has a very analytical way of working but also understands the power of symbols". She helped strike the right balance between Poun's bat-like scream and her cavernous growl. "The whole world is sick with fear", they shout in unison, a bone-crushing refrain that sticks in your head long after you're finished headbanging.    

"To walk among the flora and fauna of Costa Rica has been a long-held aspiration for me", Alissa says. "To do so while creating music and championing their protection was not just a privilege but a reminder - true purpose lies in something greater than oneself".  

Making the video for "Ruling Queen" wasn't always such a breeze. Gornoss directed Savage Lands and company on a 10-day trek through Costa Rica. Setting up inside the heart of the jungle did give them a bird's-eye view of a hard-working colony of leafcutter ants, but filming at night besides a giant, roaring campfire tested everyone's mettle. "It was so hot", Sylvain remembers. "I couldn't touch the side of my guitar".

While certainly no stranger to the swamps, Obituary's Kenneth Andrews had some mild reservations about joining the video team's excursion. After hearing his bandmate John Tardy unleash his inner primate on Savage Land's first-ever single, the seasoned vet was dying to flex his chops on "Ruling Queen". "Once I got the call, everything came together naturally and very quickly", Andrews says. "Before I knew it, I was flying to Costa Rica to shoot the video". The extreme metal guitarist was sweating over filming amidst the beasts of the jungle but seeing the calming beauty of Costa Rica's ecosystem up close and personal restored his timeless cool.

"The experience was very surreal", Andrews continues. "I will never forget the hospitality and professionalism of the whole crew, not to mention being part of a very important movement that I honestly didn't understand the scope of until meeting everyone involved. My eyes have been opened...wide!" Flanked by Alissa's knockout belt, his courageous solo brings the video's villains to their knees. 

"That makes me really happy", Sylvain says. "It shows that it's possible to change the way people think about nature. Our goals are attainable. By converting the land that we purchase into nature sanctuaries, Savage Lands will help set a precedent for environmental activism. But we must work together and quickly. Ecosystems are still under attack. If we don’t, then there won’t be any wildlife left to save”.

Raise your horns and join the Army of the Trees in support of the metal non-profit.

Just listening to "Ruling Queen" helps support Savage Lands. 100% of the song’s royalties fund the musician-run non-profit’s preservation efforts.

The CD Digisleeve for Army of the Trees is made from eco paper, while the LP is pressed on BioVinyl.

American Power Metallers JUDICATOR Announce New Album 'Concord' due to release on March 28th! ​

American power metallers JUDICATOR have announced their highly anticipated new album Concord, due to release on March 28. Concord marks the band’s 7th full-length album, and was funded by a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign.  Pre-save the new album on Spotify HERE.

Pre-order the album on Bandcamp and order new merch HERE.

Judicator have also shared their triumphant new single, the eponymous “Concord,” along with a music video. “Concord” is as relentless as it is poignant. The song calls out to a world at odds with itself, ready to embrace its own collapse with hopes that something better might rise from the ashes.

“We wanted to capture the tension between despair and hope — how beauty and devastation coexist, and how we, as individuals and groups, are tasked with choosing which force to nurture,” says vocalist John Yelland. “The lyrics embody that struggle.”

Watch: Judicator - “Concord” Below:

Judicator will release Concord one week prior to the band’s debut performance in Europe, at Epic Fest in Roskilde, Denmark. This special, 60-minute performance will serve as a celebration of Concord's release, and will also close out the festival.

“I can’t think of a more special way to celebrate our new album,” says guitarist Chad Anderson. “Performing in Europe has been a personal goal of ours since we first became musicians. We think that Epic Fest embodies the future of metal festivals, and we’re thrilled to be a part of it.”

Judicator is one of modern power metal’s most dynamic, up-and-coming bands. Since their formation in 2012, the band has become well known for their intricate character studies about historical figures like Napoleon Bonaparte and Frederick the Great, as well as personal explorations of life and loss. Their new album Concord explores ideas and themes centered around the American West.

Concord is an epic exploration of American identity, blending historical events, folklore, and themes of cultural disconnection. With powerful storytelling that navigates both awe and tragedy of the American West, the album confronts the complexities of survival, power, and loss, offering a deeply resonant and thought-provoking journey through the nation’s fractured heritage.

Over seven albums now, Judicator have continually expanded their musical horizons. Their album The Last Emperor featured a guest appearance by Blind Guardian’s Hansi Kürsch, and in 2024, they had the surreal opportunity to open for Blind Guardian in Salt Lake City on their God Machine North American tour. From their humble beginnings to global recognition, Judicator continually demonstrates why they are indisputably one of power metal’s most innovative acts.

Simon McBride (Deep Purple) Announces "Recordings: 2020-2025" + Shares "Ordinary World"

Simon McBride, one of the most celebrated guitarists to emerge in recent years, announces the release of his new album Recordings 2020–2025 out March 14 on earMUSIC. 

The first single, a fascinating take on Duran Duran's 1992 hit track "Ordinary World," is available now for streaming and download. "This is such a beautiful song," Simon McBride shares about the single. "I wanted to try a different feel on it. Like with any version of a song, it's important to me to be creative but also pay respect to the original."

McBride’s meteoric rise has been nothing short of remarkable. Since joining Deep Purple in 2023, he has captivated audiences worldwide, playing a crucial role in the band's latest chart-topping album =1. His journey — from years of hard work as a solo artist to gracing the covers of music magazines and celebrating multiple number one chart positions — is the kind of story rock and roll dreams are made of.

Recordings 2020–2025 showcases McBride’s unique musical style, a dynamic blend of blues, hard rock and jaw-dropping guitar mastery. Featuring raw, intense studio sessions, it captures the essence of McBride’s high-energy live performances. Alongside original material, the new album includes handpicked covers such as "Ordinary World"; Mr. Mister's "Uniform of Youth"; and Bryan Adams’ "Kids Wanna Rock."

With flawless performances and exceptional production quality, this collection of rare tracks is essential for rock fans. For those who have followed Simon McBride’s journey with Deep Purple, the new album offers an exciting glimpse into his versatility and musical brilliance.

Chris Davidsson comments on the album release:

”Finally our new album is about to be released! It has been a long process and we are very happy with how it turned out. Can’t wait to hear what you all think about it! The album has a lot of dynamics, reminding about a train ride, it goes fast, slows down, mid-tempo, full on again, and so on. I think it has something for everyone, so jump on board the train and enjoy the ride! All aboard!”

Tommy Johansson continues: ”The song ’Battle Cry’ takes you back to when Vikings sailed the seas in a fast, melodic and sing-along pirate metal tune.
The sound is very much inspired by Running Wild with some glorified elements from the old ReinXeed era. Set your sail and listen to our battle cry!”
