MALEVOLENCE - Release Video For New Single 'Salt The Wound'

May 25, 2025

Steel City Kings MALEVOLENCE have released a new single from their massively anticipated new album, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, which is set to be released on the 20th June via MLVLTD in partnership with Nuclear Blast Records.

Compared to the punishing previous singles, 'Trenches' and 'If It's All The Same To You' the brand new release 'Salt The Wound' shows a more emotional side of MALEVOLENCE, but that only makes its incredibly heavy chorus stand out even more.

Alex Taylor (vocals) commented:
“'Salt The Wound' is the product of us making a conscious decision to bridge the two faces of Malevolence. On one hand we have the heavy aggressive side, and on the other we have the slower melodic songs, so we wanted a song that could combine the two.

The video was entirely shot in Sheffield and the surrounding areas. From the industrial depths of Sheffield, a 900-year-old ruined Abbey, to a perfect sunrise over some of the incredible hills of Derbyshire, there is some incredible scenery in the north of the UK which we sometimes take for granted, so this song felt like the perfect opportunity to show case some of that.

From the moment I heard the guitar solo Josh had written for this song, I pictured him on a mountain top doing the solo, so we made it happen, Malev style!”

ABOUT MALEVOLENCE

MALEVOLENCE have never waited for permission. From the underground to festival main stages, they’ve built their reputation on sheer force of will, crushing live shows, and an unshakable foundation of heavy riffs and harder work. Now, with their fourth studio album Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, Sheffield’s finest step into a new league.

Recorded in California at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana’s Nevermind, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, and Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. For a band that’s always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything MALEVOLENCE stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band’s trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is MALEVOLENCE at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic.

Lyrically, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken reflects the principles that MALEVOLENCE have lived by since day one—honesty, loyalty, and integrity. These are not just themes woven into the album but values the band holds in their personal and professional lives. This record doesn’t deal in facades or empty gestures; it’s an unfiltered expression of the struggles, victories, and unshakable brotherhood that have carried them this far.

Dinosaur Pile-Up Take A Swipe At Freebie Celebrity Culture On New Single "Big Dogs"

May 25, 2025

Dinosaur Pile-Up have just dropped their latest banger, the gnarly "Big Dogs," taken from their first new album in six years, I've Felt Better, which will be released on August 22 via Mascot Records.

Listen to the track below.

Matt Bigland relishes the "power in positivity" of the larger-than-life "Big Dogs" – a gleeful takedown of ass-backwards, celebrity freebie culture where the richest and most successful always "'eat for free' while needy nobodies scrabble for scraps."

"'Big Dogs' is a big dumb song about the fact that when you're rich and famous people give you everything for free — but when you're hustling down at the bottom, nobody gives your broke ass anything. And that doesn't make any sense!!" Bigland says. "It should surely be the other way around!! I love this song because it feels like The Viagra Boys and Pantera fucked, and then Slayer turned up for the solo. It's cool!"

The song features extra vocals from Karen Dió, Larry Hibbitt (Hundred Reasons), and Jaws The Shark. The band has revealed a skit video to accompany it: Matt vs. a big dog —check it out over the DP-U Instagram page here.

"I got to hang out with a giant Doberman for the day, which was so cool!" he says. "I love big dogs like that. Giving it a stroke was like stroking an actual horse. Then, I got to writhe on the ground for a couple hours with a leaf blower on full power pointed at my head. Which was, y'know… weird."

"Big Dogs" is the third single to be taken from the reinvigorated alt-rock heroes. In April, they dropped the raucous and defiant "My Way" and before that "'Bout to Lose It," which was their first new music since 2019's Celebrity Mansions and it announced their return in a big way. The track is five years of pent-up emotion — hope, despair, resignation, and colossal bravery—let loose into a blistering 3:40 minutes of Dinosaur Pile-Up at their absolute best.

There were six people in the ward the second time that Matt Bigland admitted himself to hospital. Three of them didn't make it out alive. It's easy to recognize why they are tightly coiled and ready to go because overcoming life-threatening illness and finding a fresh perspective on life will do that to you. As so much time has passed since their last studio album.

"People need clarity about what happened," Bigland explained. "It's been so cathartic to lay it out." He began documenting his story on the band's Instagram account in December 2024. You can see it in his own words here: Part 1 | Part 2 |Part 3 | Part 4.

I've Felt Better will be released on August 22 via Mascot Records and will be available in CD, LP and digital formats. Pre-order info here.

GRUESOME Shares New Single "Condemned Identity" + Music Video

May 25, 2025

GRUESOME returns with 'Silent Echoes,' a ferocious Death Metal onslaught, fueled by progressive, razor sharp musicianship, out June 6, 2025 via Relapse Records! 'Silent Echoes' marks the band’s first new full-length recording in 7 years!

Today, GRUESOME shares the third single from the upcoming album titled "Condemned Identity." The new single is accompanied by a music video, available to view below.

GRUESOME comments on “Condemned Identity”:

“'Condemned Identity' was a no-brainer as the leadoff track for the record, as it comes out of the gate at full-strength, putting all of our cards on the table. I mean, yeah, it’s more articulate and musical than what we’ve done before, but it’s still very much death metal, which I’m very happy about. Even though we’re incorporating more sophisticated stuff, we can still rip your face off.”

Additionally, GRUESOME has begun releasing a new mini-documentary chronicling the making of their forthcoming full-length, 'Silent Echoes.' The band recently sat down with producers Scott Burns and Jarrett Pritchard for in-depth interviews conducted by David Gehlke at New Constellation Studios in Orlando, FL, where GRUESOME bunkered down to record the album. Watch the first part HERE.

Celebrating over a decade as the finest purveyors of old-school Death Metal inspired by the legendary Chuck Schuldiner and the many iterations of Death, the new album sees GRUESOME transition away from the no-frills riff-fests heard on their 'Savage Land' and 'Twisted Prayers' LPs, and shift towards a more musically advanced, nuanced form of extremity. 'Silent Echoes' is the quartet's true “put up or shut-up” moment for one simple reason: It was written and recorded in the spirit of Death’s 1991 progressive death metal masterpiece, 'Human.'

Watch the Music Video for "Condemned Identity"

The prolonged gestation period between GRUESOME albums was the combination of several factors, yet none more significant than the untimely and unexpected passing of Cynic and Human-era Death drummer Sean Reinert in 2020. Reinert, the best friend and mentor of GRUESOME drummer Gus Rios, was originally slated to produce the album. Instead, Rios, alongside vocalist/guitarist Matt Harvey, lead guitarist Daniel Gonzalez, and bassist Robin Mazen, turned 'Silent Echoes' into a tribute to Reinert, whose influence and presence on 'Silent Echoes' is everywhere.

'Silent Echoes' is GRUESOME’s transmutation into the complex, jazz-influenced fields plouwed on 'Human.' As Harvey states, “there’s less winking at the audience on this one,” which is true: The overtly intentional homages found on the band’s previous two albums have been replaced with fluid, agile drum work from Rios, as well as spiraling, multi-faceted guitar riffing from Harvey and Gonzalez, the latter responsible for the album’s prog-infused leads.

Jarrett Pritchard once again handled the production of 'Silent Echoes.' A veteran of two previous GRUESOME studio albums (and dozens of other respected extreme metal acts), Pritchard’s engineering and technical expertise played a crucial role in enabling 'Silent Echoes' to recapture the feel of early 1990s death metal recorded at Tampa’s famed Morrisound Recording. Not only did Pritchard lean on the advice of Death producer Scott Burns, but Rios also used the same snare drum that Reinert did on Cynic’s 'Focus.'

At a time when the thirst for all things Chuck Schuldiner remains unquenchable, leave it to four accomplished, true, well-intentioned death metal veterans to help continue the man’s legacy.

Jamie's Elsewhere Announce New EP + Share "Traveler" Video

May 24, 2025

JAMIE'S ELSEWHERE, featuring Of Mice & Men vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley, along with Matt Scarpelli [guitar], Chance Medeiros [bass], and Mike Spearman [keys] — are thrilled to announce the release of Alchemical, their new, five-song EP arriving June 20 via SharpTone Records. It follows the July 2023-released Paradise EP, which marked the band's first new music in almost a decade. Pre-order Alchemical here.

The band has shared the video for the new single "Traveler."

Watch the frenetic clip (and listen to the equally frenetic song) below

"We're excited to be sharing Traveler with the world," says Pauley. "From the inception of this project, we set out to make an EP that takes the listener through a familiar and nostalgic JE sound, that introduces new soundscapes and ideas that we've never explored, and that ventures everywhere in between. We want to thank our fans for the many years of support, and we hope you enjoy this EP."

About "Traveler" and the accompanying video, the band says, "Working with Mike Matsui on the 'Traveler' music video was an incredible experience. His vision, along with his team's professionalism and creativity, truly brought the project to life in a way that exceeded all expectations."

Pauley, however, sums the new material up concisely and with confidence, saying, "Shit's rad, just listen to it."

You'd be wise to heed his command!

Jamie's Elsewhere enter an even more ambitious chapter with Alchemical. The California quartet continues to evolve its signature sound by blending emotionally charged heavy music with cinematic electronics, huge melodies, and signature intensity. This time, they craft a layered concept exploring transformation, identity, and inner alchemy — where personal growth feels as volatile and mystic as ancient science.

Since their original emergence in 2005, Jamie's Elsewhere has carved a lasting legacy with fan-favorite releases like Guidebook for Sinners Turned Saints and They Said a Storm Was Coming, touring alongside genre heavyweights such as Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills, and Memphis May Fire. After a period of dormancy, the band reignited its creative flame during the pandemic, returning in 2023 with Paradise, a conceptual comeback that reintroduced their vision with new fire. Now, Alchemical raises the bar yet again.

May 24, 2025

Notorious for incorporating traditional influences from their local culture, JACK THE JOKERincludes musical styles such as maracatu, forró, baião, and frevo. Their unique sound draws inspiration from the eponymous renowned Brazilian novel and explores the metaphysical backlands, where humanity will prevail against the hostility of nature.

Commenting on the new single, the band stated:

“'Sun' refers to the vengeful star that both gives life and takes it away: an allusion to an abusive relationship, in which emotional dependencies are fed by crumbs of affection and countered by emotional abuse”.

Watch the Lyric Video for “Sun" Below;

JACK THE JOKER is a modern progressive metal band with a twist, hailing from the Northeast of Brazil. The band consists of Raphael Joer (vocals), Felipe Faco (guitar), Lucas Colares (guitar), Gustavo Pinheiro (bass), and Vicente Ferreira (drums).

Heavy Rock Outfit Wucan Showcase Their Artistic Depth With New Single + Video for "KTNSAX"

May 24, 2025

Three years after the release of their studio album Heretic Tongue, the German heavy rock outfit Wucan made a strong statement in March 2025 with the single "Irons in the Fire."

Now the band is following up with the song "KTNSAX," proving their ability to develop artistically.

While "Irons in the Fire" offered a more classic rock energy, "KTNSAX" embarked on a significantly different path. The song turns out to be unexpectedly danceable and, with its straightforward beat, inevitably encourages you to tap along before the powerful, distorted guitar finally paves its energetic way.

Watch the "KTNSAX" video below.

Stream the single here.

"'Farm some time, watch it grow,' that line came to me on a Monday morning in September 2024, after two weeks bedridden — and harvesting a solid 12 hours of daily screen time on my phone," says singer Francis Tobolsky. "Twelve hours a day in which I believed I was fully up to date: The latest news, trending memes, my friends' daily lunches – and yet completely disconnected from the world around me. The political climate, social media manipulation, filter bubbles, AI – these were things I needed to process.

"At first glance, it all seems so convenient: The library of the world in our hands, the ability to join any conversation, to be the discourse. And yet we hide behind carefully curated images, profiles on platforms, pretending to be someone we're not… and perhaps even falling for the façades and profit-driven illusions of others. In the end, what remains is the paradoxical truth: Blessed are the ignorant."

Witches Ride is a dark groove machine—part Southern-fried chaos, part industrial ritual. Fusing the bone-crushing swagger of Clutch with the sinister theatrics of Marilyn Manson, this band rides the line between dirty rock ‘n’ roll and occult-fueled spectacle.

RONNIE ROMERO Releases New Album ‘Live At Rock Imperium Festival’ — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

May 24, 2025

Legendary singer RONNIE ROMERO is thrilled to announce the release of his new album, ‘Live At Rock Imperium Festival,’ which is out now via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition, ROMERO also shares a fresh track from the album titled "Crossroad." The focus track is accompanied by an official live video, available below.

'Live At Rock Imperium Festival' sees ROMERO delivering an impressive musical performance in front of a huge, passionate audience, in one of the biggest European festivals, the Spanish Rock Imperium Festival, including songs from the first solo and some other highlights like the Dio cover “Rainbow In The Dark."

RONNIE ROMERO comments on the focus:

“A very special and unexpected song we added to the album back in 2023, we were missing a track, and Jose Rubio came with this bluesy riff, so the songwriting was totally improvised! Anyway, this song became a fav for the audience in the shows!!”

Watch the Official Live Video for “Crossroad” Below:

The tracklist for 'Live At Rock Imperium Festival' is mostly based on RONNIE’s latest solo album 'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters,' which marks the first time that ROMERO has been involved with 100% of the songwriting on an album he sings on.

ROMERO also co-produced the album with Andy C., marking another first for ROMERO. While these 'firsts” certainly add to the excitement for the album, it is the songs that truly take center stage. ROMERO's voice is completely at home on this diverse, hard rockin' set which is certainly going to please any fan of his vocal style and his work with his other bands.

Commenting on 'Live At Rock Imperium Festival', ROMERO states:

“I really wanted to have a live album out, to show everybody how much I enjoy playing music and the capabilities of the musicians I have by my side! It is also a step forward in my solo career. And no better place than my beloved Rock Imperium Festival in Spain! Thanks a lot to Frontiers Music, Manu Giménez, Andy C, and my band for making this possible! I hope that everyone will enjoy this performance!”

Order 'Live At Rock Imperium Festival' HERE

ROMERO's voice and prolific musical activity have brought him to the forefront of the hard rock/metal scene where he can be seen/heard with Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, The Michael Schenker Group, Lords of Black, The Ferrymen, Sunstorm, and the recently launched Elegant Weapons with Judas Priest guitarist Richie Faulkner. With an impressive discography already under his belt, 'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters' is arguably the crown jewel of ROMERO's recorded output thus far.

'Too Many Lies, Too Many Masters' follows ROMERO's first two solo albums, both cover albums. 2023's 'Raised On Heavy Radio' saw ROMERO paying tribute to legendary artists from the metal world like Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Accept, Metallica, and more. It also featured special guests like Gus G. (Firewind, Ozzy Osbourne), Chris Caffery (Savatage, Spirits of Fire), Roland Grapow (Masterplan, Helloween), and more.

ROMERO's first solo album, 'Raised On Radio', featured covers of classics that meant something special to ROMERO over the years and helped forge this talented singer's musical style. Songs by legendary acts like Survivor, Bad Company, Foreigner, Queen, Led Zeppelin, and more were given ROMERO's talented vocal treatment.

Officially impacting radio this Tuesday, May 27 via Broken Bow Records, fans will hear the new track as it world premieres across all major U.S. Country Radio Stations today.

The release adds to yet another triumphant year for Wilson, who won four awards at the 60th Annual ACM Awards earlier this month: Entertainer of the Year (her second consecutive win), Female Artist of the Year (her third consecutive win), Album of the Year (Whirlwind) and Artist-Songwriter of the Year. During the awards ceremony, she also debuted new song, “Trailblazer,” with Reba McEntire and Miranda Lambert, which she wrote with Lambert and Brandy Clark.

Additionally, Wilson is in the midst of her nearly sold-out Whirlwind World Tour, which includes stops at New York’s Madison Square Garden, Los Angeles’ Kia Forum, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Austin’s Moody Center, Baton Rouge’s Raising Cane’s River Center Arena and Denver’s Ball Arena among many others. The upcoming dates follow the tour’s first leg—a completely sold-out extensive run across the U.K and Europe earlier this year. See below for the complete tour itinerary. Full details can be found at www.laineywilson.com/tour.

In just the past year, Wilson was also inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, performed during the Dallas Cowboys’ Thanksgiving Halftime Show, won Best Country Album at the 2024 Grammy Awards and two awards at the 58th CMA Awards, where she also made her hosting debut alongside Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson also received two awards at this year’s ACM Honors: the prestigious Triple Crown Award—presented to those who have won ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female/Male Vocalist of the Year and New Female/Male Vocalist of the Year—and the Milestone Award, which is given to an artist who has had an unprecedented or outstanding year in country music.

A prolific and sought-after songwriter, Wilson has scored eight #1 hits including “4x4xU,” “Watermelon Moonshine” and the 2x Platinum Certified “Heart Like A Truck,” and has collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Nosedive”), Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”), HARDY (“wait in the truck”) and Myles Smith (“Nice To Meet You”). She is also a triple threat within entertainment as a singer, songwriter and actor and will make her feature film acting debut in next year’s adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Reminders of Him, after first acting in Paramount’s hit television series, Yellowstone. Moreover, Wilson wrote and recorded “Out of Oklahoma,” which was featured in the new Twisters movie.

Ryan Woods Shares New Single "Good Swim"

May 23, 2025

FEARLESS RECORDS artist Ryan Woods has shared the new single "Good Swim."

Watch the lyric video below.

"I actually wrote 'Good Swim' for a family member's wedding," Woods shares. "It started off as a poem, and though I had never experienced love enough to get married, it was inspired by an idyllic version of it. I asked myself, 'If I were so in love with somebody that I would marry them, what would that feel like?' I think it would feel like a 'good swim' on a hot summer day. Refreshing, relaxing, and rejuvenating. Like a vacation from life itself. A safe place to unwind and not think about the world, and simply rejoice in the love that we have for each other. A place where fear has little power, and the courage to dive into it is celebrated and rewarded."

Woods finishes, "Love is complex and far from easy, but so is swimming. It gets easier the more you do it. You grow stronger and faster, and once you learn how to swim, it's very difficult to drown."

Indeed, "Good Swim" is your feel good hit of your summer. Kicking off with a lilting and dreamy piano melody, the kind that makes you wake up with a smile only our face, it slowly builds to a pretty, mid-tempo, bedroom-y pop jam. Woods is an old soul with a thoroughly modern lean — he's essentially a Gen Z troubadour! The song's '70s inspired melodies and his delightfully saccharine voice are ALL the serotonin boosters you need.

Woods previously shared "Full Speed Ahead."

The singer will also play a show at The Echo in Los Angeles on July 30, with Jack Newsome. Get tickets here.

ABOUT RYAN WOODS:
After one listen, it would be easy to assume Ryan Woods fell from the heavens and landed smack dab in the middle of modern pop music and culture. He defies genres and eras with an otherworldly je ne sais quoi. Flaunting a sky-high range and head-turning fashion sense, Woods exudes a swaggering gusto befitting of your favorite '70s rock star, yet he opens up with a level of candor decidedly intrinsic to Gen Z. Musically, he laces D.I.Y. pop with psychedelic experimentation and existential ruminations that are both provocative and catchy. Initially, he gained traction with covers on social media, even inciting a retweet from Shawn Mendes. Woods has cultivated his signature style by logging countless hours in both Nashville and Los Angeles sessions. "Bad Texter" was a breakthrough moment in 2021 — reeling in over 28 million Spotify streams and counting, it paved the way for his King of the Basement EP. Of the latter, Thomas Bleach raved, "This EP highlights that growth and introspective manner that has made him an artist you need to keep an eye on," while INTERSECT Magazine applauded, "Woods' lyrics are poetic, witty, and most of all, authentic." Now partnered with Fearless, Woods is ready to bring his dreamy compositions, which are so much more than bedroom pop, to an even wider audience.

The Band Light Unveils Hypnotic New Song "Dreamboat" Out Now via Red Van Records

May 23, 2025

Pop-rock group The Band Light returns with their infectious new song “Dreamboat,” released today on Red Van Records. Written by band members Konnor Dolberry and Trevor Young, and produced by multi-platinum hitmaker John Fields (Jonas Brothers, Switchfoot, Demi Lovato), the track captures the messy magic of infatuation with lyrical bite and sonic sparkle. Listen below.

Fronted by Konnor Dolberry (lead vocals), alongside Jack Glenn (bass/vocals), Garrett Goodrich (lead guitar/vocals) and Trevor Young (drums/vocals), The Band Light formed through a high school music production class and quickly found undeniable chemistry both on and off the stage. Since then, they’ve built a dedicated fanbase and amassed over one million streams across platforms.

Built around a hypnotic groove and late-night confessions, “Dreamboat” captures the messy thrill of desire and emotional chaos. With lines like “So call me up / When we’re both drunk / And fill my cup / I’m all stirred up,” the song mixes raw vulnerability with tongue-in-cheek charm – an intoxicating cocktail of heartache and hookiness. Dolberry and Young blend their lyrical edge with crisp, shimmering production, giving “Dreamboat” a sound both familiar and new.

“‘Dreamboat’ lives in that blurry space between bad decisions and irresistible connection,” the band shares. “It’s equal parts moody and playful – something we think a lot of people can relate to.”

Fans can catch The Band Light live this summer at Musicians Corner in Nashville’s Centennial Park on June 13, joining a season lineup that includes Brittney Spencer, Noah Gundersen, Sixpence None The Richer and more. The group will also perform as special guests for Switchfoot on July 13 at the Devon Lakeshore Amphitheater in Illinois.

With “Dreamboat,” The Band Light continues to carve a distinct lane in the pop-rock landscape with infectious energy, sharp musicianship and irresistible charm.

MÈLANCOLIA - ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM 'RANDOM.ACCESS.MISERY' + SHARE DARK NEW SINGLE 'ALL_IS_RUST'

May 23, 2025

Melbourne blackened nu-metal outfit MÉLANCOLIA announce their sophomore album random.access.misery will be available Friday August 29 via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records. The band share scathing new single 'ALL_IS_RUST' as a vicious taste of what's to come.

'ALL_IS_RUST' serves as both a declaration of evolution and a warning: MÉLANCOLIA are not here to follow trends—they’re here to dismantle them. The new single is the introduction to MÉLANCOLIA’s forthcoming album, blending metalcore, deathcore, industrial noise, blast beats and DJ scratching into a hellish sonic cocktail. The song welcomes listeners to their new sound and a genre the band have coined as “Blackened Nu Metal”.

'ALL_IS_RUST' marries the sound, aesthetic and visuals from their debut album,'HissThroughRottenTeeth', into one cohesive package; "While there has been a departure from straight up deathcore, we feel this song sounds even more representative of MÉLANCOLIA," says vocalist Alex Hill. "And after testing the waters debuting this song in Europe earlier this year we can confirm this one is already a crowd favourite."

Picked as one of four "brilliant new metal bands you need to hear" by Metal Hammer in April, the band are primed and ready and unleash their defining new album this August; "We are bringing a fresh sound to an otherwise stale scene, you will not hear what we are doing from anyone else. We are setting the trend as we set the bar for modern heavy music. Love us or hate us, you will fucking remember us."

Momentum is at an all time high for the band, having toured Australia three times over off the back of HissThroughRottenTeeth' and breaking into Europe and the UK twice on tours with SUFFOCATION (US) and INGESTED (UK). The band will join THY ART IS MURDER on a regional lap of Australia this June and July and will debut some of their new music for the very first time.

After establishing themselves in 2022 with their debut single 'Horror_Ethereal', the band announced the following February their signing to both Greyscale Records for Australia/New Zealand and Nuclear Blast for the rest of the world. They released their debut album HissThroughRottenTeeth April 2023, crafting a unique sound that has already catapulted them to new heights. Their very first show was in 2023 supporting THY ART IS MURDER on their Decade Of Hate Australian Tour alongside STARVE and JUSTICE FOR THE DAMNED. Since this they’ve toured with TO THE GRAVE, FALLUJAH (US), CATTLE DECAPITATION (US), INGESTED (UK), VULVODYNIA (SA), SUFFOCATION (US) and many more.

May 23, 2025

American metalcore band Woe, Is Me released their new single, “Devil in My Mind.”Available everywhere now via SBG Records.

Produced by Scott Seigel and Corey Bautista, the new track serves as an official glimpse into the band’s upcoming full-length effort.

“This song is about the silent battles that come after sobriety—the moments nobody talks about. It’s not just about getting sober; it’s about staying sober when your mind turns against you. It’s an attempt to capture that internal war, the fear of slipping, and the strength it takes to keep holding the line when everything in you wants to let go," explains Hance.

Woe, Is Me is confirmed to perform at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY on Saturday, September 20th.

Stay tuned for more announcements surrounding the upcoming album and future tour dates.

British Rock Icons SKUNK ANANSIE Release New Album 'The Painful Truth' — Out Now via FLG Records

May 23, 2025

Today, British rock icons SKUNK ANANSIE have released their long awaited brand new album, 'The Painful Truth.' To celebrate, the band has also released the focus track, "Shame," which is accompanied by a visualizer available to view below.

'The Painful Truth' is a truly mesmerizing, provocative, powerful and emotional album. It is the sound of SKUNK ANANSIE facing up to who they are and what they want to become. It is more than an album title, it's a reality that they have lived through and has been greeted by rapturous reviews.

Watch the Visualizer for “Shame” Below;

Produced by David Sitek of TV On The Radio fame, 'The Painful Truth' is a fresh, frank, uplifting, and richly textured album that proves SKUNK ANANSIE’s knack for writing big pop songs remains defiantly undiminished. If anything, their hooks are sharper than ever, sinking in quicker and hitting harder.

'The Painful Truth' marks SKUNK ANANSIE’s first release on the newly formed FLG Records, and it carries a vitality that belies their storied career and multi-platinum achievements. With 'The Painful Truth,' SKUNK ANANSIE boldly reclaim their place as one of the most exciting, visionary, and essential bands in British music.

On the new album, Skin confesses:

“When I really think about it, yes, we have made some good records in our time but it’s been a long time since we have made a great album. And that is the painful truth. Understanding that, led us to making what I genuinely think is our greatest record yet.”

Order 'The Painful Truth' HERE

Full details for all live performances can be found HERE

About SKUNK ANANSIE:

SKUNK ANANSIE formed in 1994 in London, and are a truly seminal band. One of the first multi-racial British rock bands, they are known for their powerful sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Fronted by the charismatic and dynamic vocalist Skin, the band blends alternative rock with elements of punk and metal. They remain one of the most important and influential bands of their era.

Their debut album ‘Paranoid & Sunburnt’ (1995) and its follow up ‘Stoosh’ (1996) both hit the Top 10 album chart in the UK, and with hits like “Weak” and “Hedonism,” they established themselves on the international stage, helped by their stunning live performances. In 1999, SKUNK ANANSIE closed the decade off in style by releasing their third studio album, ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’ and headlining Glastonbury Festival, before surprisingly going on a lengthy hiatus in 2001.

The band reconvened in 2008 to embark on the second chapter of their career, releasing three acclaimed albums - 2010’s ‘Wonderlustre,’ 2012’s ‘Black Traffic’ and 2016’s ‘Anarchytecture.’ In 2019, the band marked their 25th anniversary with ‘25LIVE@25,’ a live album that brings together the greatest songs from their six studio albums.

Throughout their career, SKUNK ANANSIE have sold over five million records around the world. The band’s international prominence continues to thrive today, selling out live arenas and headlining festivals across the continent, and now with ‘The Painful Truth’ receiving rave reviews around the world, SKUNK ANANSIE are back at the peak of their powers.

ONSLAUGHT - History-Packed 2CD/LP 'Origins Of Aggression' Out Now; Video For "Thermonuclear Devastation Of The Planet Earth [2025 Version]" Launched

May 23, 2025

English thrash metal legends ONSLAUGHT return in full force with their blistering new release, Origins Of Aggression, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music. Leading the charge is the newly recorded version of "Thermonuclear Devastation Of The Planet Earth" - a scorched-earth anthem packed with apocalyptic riffage. First appearing on the band’s debut album Power From Hell, released in 1985, the track has been re-recorded for Origins Of Aggression to mark the 40th anniversary of ONSLAUGHT’s explosive entry into the metal scene. Four decades later, its message feels just as urgent and relevant as it did back then - if not more so.

Watch the new lyric video below:

Nige Rockett comments: “‘Thermo...’ is the very first song myself and Paul Hill ever wrote for ONSLAUGHT when we formed the band in 1982 and it’s still a very important / integral part of the live show right up to this day as it never fails to induce complete chaos within the crowds. One real highlight I remember was performing it at the Katacombes [R.I.P.] venue in Montreal, Canada. I kid you not, every single person in the venue turned the place into one awesome/brutal circle pit, it was absolutely insane. We still get one massive buzz playing this song live, it has such an incredible energy and a very cool back story to go with it…!”

Origins Of Aggression is a 22-track double album that dives deep into ONSLAUGHT’s history, delivering fierce new takes on early classics alongside covers of key influences such as MOTÖRHEAD, DEAD KENNEDYS, and DISCHARGE. To support the release, ONSLAUGHT will hit the road again next week as part of a global tour, with confirmed dates across Europe, the UK, Mexico, and Australia.

Order/stream Origins Of Aggression: https://onslaught.rpm.link/originsPR
