Der Weg Einer Freiheit Release Haunting New Single 'Eos'

German black metal visionaries Der Weg Einer Freiheit are unveiling “Eos” as the lead single from their upcoming sixth album Innern. The song is a visceral meditation on destruction and renewal; it adopts the voice of a fallen soldier, whose final hope is to become one with the earth, a vessel for life rather than a casualty of violence.

Watch the music video for “Eos” Below;

Innern comes out September 12th on Season of Mist.

On Innern, Der Weg Einer Freiheit continue their evolution as one of the most emotionally resonant voices in modern black metal. Anchored in existential introspection and produced entirely by the band’s vocalist and guitarist Nikita Kamprad, the album presents six tracks that move from disintegration to reckoning and renewal.

“Eos” stands at the heart of the album’s journey. The song reminds us that from the grave of war, life returns rooted in sorrow, reaching toward light. Its journey begins in restraint, with guitars echoing in mournful dialogue. Then a pulse emerges beneath, a low-end rumble of bass accompanied by the drums’ ritualistic cadence. From this stillness, the track bursts into a maelstrom. Searing guitars and a punishing rhythm come together, presenting black metal at its most unrelenting. Kamprad’s anguished vocals tie the violence to its aftermath, rendering grief inseparable from transformation.

Within Innern, “Eos” functions as both accusation and elegy. The song reflects on nature’s quiet, uncompromising justice. Over time, life stirs in silence; the red, blood-soaked soil gives way to green. The Earth begins to dance once more. During the song’s final act, the war’s architect is overtaken by the same regenerative force, dragged down from his throne and absorbed into the soil.

The video for “Eos” was directed and produced by Paloosa Productions.

In light of their introspective new journey, Der Weg Einer Freiheit are embarking on a headlining tour of Europe this fall in support of Innern. Next year, the band will finally make their long-awaited return to the U.S. with their first-ever performance at Maryland Deathfest.    

Der Weg Einer Freiheit stand now at the peak of a fifteen-year evolution.Their music is as concerned with silence as it is with sound, as shaped by introspection as by fury. As they prepare to bring Innern to European stages in autumn 2025, they do so not as provocateurs of extremity, but as artists navigating the fragile space between collapse and clarity. In a genre often defined by spectacle, Der Weg Einer Freiheit remain committed to vulnerability, transformation, and truth.

ENEMY INSIDE Unleash Music Video For Furious New Single "Innocent"

Just days before returning to the holy grounds of Wacken Open Air, modern metal sensations ENEMY INSIDE are proud to announce the digital release of their haunting track ‘Innocent’ alongside its visually striking official music video. Previously only available as part of the physical edition of their acclaimed current album Venom (February 28, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music), both the track and video are now accessible worldwide on all major streaming platforms and YouTube.
 
ORDER/STREAM “VENOM”

Being a fan favourite since its original release, "Innocent" dives deep into the shadows of human morality. With its cinematic soundscapes, thunderous guitars, and the emotionally-charged varied vocals of singer Nastassja Giulia, the new single continues the band’s signature blend of heavy riffs and dark elegance that has earned them international attention. The supporting video is a visual metaphor for inner conflict and moral duality, complementing the track’s lyrical themes with bold, provocative imagery while solidifying ENEMY INSIDE’s status as one of the most exciting acts in the modern metal scene.
 
The band adds: “It’s a song about guilt, hypocrisy, and the human tendency to judge others while ignoring our own flaws. Inspired by the biblical quote ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone,’ it’s a reminder that before we point fingers, we should take a hard look at ourselves.”

British Rock Icons SKUNK ANANSIE Release New Music Video "Shame"

British rock icons SKUNK ANANSIE have released the striking video for their new single "Shame." A deeply personal song for lead singer Skin, reflecting her family background, the video is a cathartic expression of her exorcising past demons.

Skin shares on the video:

“‘Shame’ is one of the most personal songs we’ve ever written. Many of us feel or get unconnected to our families because of the lives we need to lead in order to be happy; sometimes they just can’t understand who we are if we are not like them and there’s a lot of shame and hurt in that. ‘Shame’ is dedicated to those outcasts, to those kids that go on to find new families that support & love them, give them hope and help them find true contentment.”

The song is taken from the UK Top 10 album 'The Painful Truth,' out now via FLG. A mesmerizing, provocative, powerful and emotional collection, 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 is a reality that they have lived through and has been greeted by rapturous reviews.

Watch the Music Video for “Shame”

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.”

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.

AMORPHIS Release Crushing Second Single "Bones" From Upcoming 'Borderland' Album

AMORPHIS have released their new single "Bones," a powerful preview of their upcoming album Borderland, set for release on September 26, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music. In contrast to the album’s first single, "Light And Shadow," which showcased a more uplifting tone, "Bones" dives into darker, heavier territory. Emerging from the mythical depths of Finland’s thousand lakes, the track delivers thunderous riffs and Eastern-tinged strings and keys, creating a dense, textured soundscape. Despite its intensity, the song allows space for moments of hope, culminating in a cathartic chorus driven by Tomi Joutsen’s soaring clean vocals. Lyrically, "Bones" reflects the struggle for survival faced by Finland’s ancestors, adding depth and weight to its sonic force.
 
“As a starting point, I wanted to prove that even a keyboard player can create an AMORPHIS song which is based on a heavy riff, and to everyone's surprise, ‘Bones’ turned out to be the heaviest “Borderland” song,” reveals keyboardist Santeri Kallio.
 
"Bones" also arrives with the first music video from Borderland, directed by Patric Ullaeus, who has previously helmed several AMORPHIS videos including ‘The Moon’ and ‘Wanderer.’ Known for his cinematic style, Ullaeus has also worked with other major names in the metal scene such as IN FLAMES, ARCH ENEMY, PRIMAL FEAR, and many more.

Hansen Studios (Jacob Hansen, Denmark; VOLBEAT, AMARANTHE, PRIMAL FEAR etc.) were the destination of choice in late 2024 and early 2025 to track “Borderland.” The album artwork was designed by Dutch artist Marald Van Haasteren (METALLICA, BLACK SABBATH, KVELERTAK, ALCEST etc.) while long-time partner Pekka Kainulainen once again wrote the album’s meaningful lyrics.

About AMORPHIS
 
With Borderland, the title of the album couldn’t have been chosen more fittingly. Throughout their career, spanning over more than three decades, AMORPHIS -- Tomi Joutsen (vocals), Esa Holopainen (guitars), Tomi Koivusaari (guitars), Olli-Pekka Laine (bass), Santeri Kallio (keyboards) & Jan Rechberger (drums & percussion) -- have been an ever-evolving act, wandering on an exciting boundary-pushing path. From their sinister death metal debut Karelian Isthmus over genre-defining mid-90s melodic death works like Tales From The Thousand Lakes andElegy as well as the melodic 2000’s grandeur of Eclipse or Skyforger to records combining the very best of all prior eras to refreshing new soundscapes (f.e. Under The Red Cloud or Queen Of Time): Whatever this group works on promises long-range success.
 
With 2022’s Halo, the Finn’s were rewarded for their researching musical approach once again: The album marked AMORPHIS’ sixth no. 1 album in Finland, even cracked the top 3 of the official German album chart, and last but not least the sextet took home two awards from the prestigious Emma Gaala (“Band of the Year” & “Export of the Year”).
 
The impact of Halo became a driving force for what’s to come. Rather than rushing into a follow-up, the band chose to step back from live performances and focus fully on their next chapter. The result is Borderland - a meticulously crafted opus that builds on their celebrated recent era, while seamlessly weaving in new, timely elements. It’s a bold, organic continuation of their journey, shaped by experience and guided by vision.

PROFANE ELEGY Unleashes "Haunted," A Harrowing New Single from Upcoming Album Herezjarcha

Pennsylvania-based black metal collective PROFANE ELEGY has released the second single, "Haunted," from their forthcoming sophomore album Herezjarcha, due out January 30th, 2026. With this track, the band begins unveiling the eight-part sonic descent that defines their most ambitious and emotionally charged work to date.

Lyrically, "Haunted" is a meditation on existential dread, a haunting reflection on the curse of clarity. Through blistering guitars, sweeping orchestration, and anguished vocals, PROFANE ELEGY explores the loss of innocence that comes with realizing the inevitability of death. The track asserts that ignorance truly is bliss, and once the veil of illusion is lifted, there is no returning to peace.

The single showcases the evolving sound of PROFANE ELEGY: genre-defying, expansive, and emotionally visceral. Drawing from a foundation of black metal, the band integrates orchestral flourishes, progressive shifts, and subtle clean vocal passages to amplify the thematic weight of the song. "Haunted" stands as both a sonic assault and a philosophical lament.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Kevin Antreassian (THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN) at Backroom Studios, Herezjarcha is shaping up to be a defining statement from a band unafraid to confront the sacred and the profane alike. Each of the album’s eight tracks will be released as a standalone single, each with its own accompanying music video, building a cohesive but fractured narrative that culminates with the album’s release.

About PROFANE ELEGY

PROFANE ELEGY is a black metal band from Bangor, Pennsylvania, formed in late 2021 by guitarist J Gulick and vocalist Mikael L. Originally conceived as a two-man studio project, the band quickly evolved into a full lineup with the addition of bassist David G and drummer Sean M in 2023. What sets PROFANE ELEGY apart is their refusal to remain confined within genre boundaries—while rooted firmly in black metal, their sound incorporates elements of death, doom, and progressive metal, often enhanced by orchestral arrangements and clean vocals.

The band’s debut album When All Is Nothing (2023) was released independently and drew attention for its blend of atmospheric aggression and emotional vulnerability. The release earned praise for its ability to move fluidly between blistering speed and melancholic melody, with Doom Heart calling it “a massive Doom delight.” Following the album’s release, PROFANE ELEGY made their live debut and began performing across the northeastern United States, including a notable support slot for Dark Funeral in late 2024.

Lyrically, the band explores themes of nihilism, mortality, philosophy, and religious symbolism—often invoking figures like Satan not as dogmatic statements, but as metaphors in a broader spiritual and existential dialogue. Their work is poetic, introspective, and often challenges the listener to confront uncomfortable truths about life, death, and belief.

Their upcoming full-length album Herezjarcha, set for release in January 2026, represents the band’s most ambitious and expansive work to date. With a more dynamic sound, deeper orchestration, and a clear conceptual throughline, the record pushes their sonic and thematic boundaries further than ever before. The album title—a made-up word meaning “arch-heretic”—encapsulates the spirit of the band: rebellious, introspective, and unafraid to question the sacred.

PROFANE ELEGY continues to forge a unique path within the underground metal scene. Blending bleak intensity with philosophical weight, they aim not just to be heard—but to be felt.

PROFANE ELEGY is:
 

  • Mikael L – Vocals, Orchestration

  • J Gulick – Guitars, Orchestration

  • David G – Bass, Orchestration

  • Sean M – Drums

Seth Cover Serge Gainsbourg

French black metal vanguard SETH are unveiling a radical reinterpretation of Serge Gainsbourg’s infamous 1968 ode to Brigitte Bardot. Originally steeped in orchestral melancholy and sensual decadence, Seth’s cover of “Initials B.B.” emerges as a ceremonial descent through the fractured heart of post-Christian France—a realm haunted by divine absence, erotic delirium and the relics of fallen gods.

Watch the music video for “Initials B.B.” below:

Seth’s latest album La France des Maudits is out now on Season of Mist.

“Initials B.B.” emerges as a new chapter in Seth’s ongoing rite of desecration. Falling on Bastille Day and the first anniversary of the French black metal institution’s latest album, the song deepens the image that the band have been conjuring of a France scorched by desire and spiritual collapse. As the republic recalls its hour of uprising,  the band conjure another insurrection: one of shadows and silhouettes, where sound and image bleed together in an unholy communion.

As with the iconoclastic cosmology of La France des Maudits, Seth reimagine Brigette Bardot. In their blackened visage, she is as a mythic seductress, a corrupted Marianne veiled in red, muse to apostasy and forbidden glamour. Where Gainsbourg once sighed,  the band now roars, threading the actresses memory into the album’s scarlet lineage of insurgent saints, diabolical poets and cast-out lovers.

The video for “Initials B.B.” was created by Pierre Reynard (@pierrereynard)

Prepare to march beneath the banner unfurled by SETH, in the grand tradition of those unyielding souls who once stormed the Bastille and dared to dream of a world remade. La France des Maudits beckons - not to the gallows, but to glory.

Awake The Dreamer Release Brand New Single + Music Video "Save You"

Awake The Dreamer are back once again, and they're not pulling any punches.

After reigniting their flame with the emotionally charged comeback single "Years Begin To Fade," the Stockholm-based, post-metalcore outfit offer up "Save You"— a towering and urgent anthem.

"Save You" dives even deeper into themes of inner turmoil and redemption, laced with cinematic textures, razor-sharp riffing, and the soaring vocal power of frontman Max Andrén. Where "Years Begin To Fade" introduced us to the band's rebirth, "Save You" punches through the darkness with raw vulnerability, showing Awake The Dreamer at their most fearless — and most refined.
 

Now bolstered by a powerhouse new lineup of musicians from acts like Normandie, Aim For The Sunrise, and Is It Tomorrow Yet, Awake The Dreamer are pushing further into uncharted territory while keeping their melodic roots intact. With a third full-length album on the horizon, "Save You" stands as another stark reminder: This isn't a comeback. This is a rebirth.
 

Watch the gripping new video for "Save You" below and brace yourself for what comes next.

Awake The Dreamer are no longer dreaming — they're wide awake, and louder than ever.

Sweet Savage Return With New Album "Bang" + Share Video for Title Track

Belfast metal pioneers Sweet Savage announce the release of their new album BANG on September 12. To mark the occasion, they unleash the sharp title track today, accompanied by a gritty music video that captures the band’' intense live energy.

Listen to the title track "Bang"

Formed in Belfast in 1979 by bassist and vocalist Ray Haller and future Dio/Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell, Sweet Savage were part of the first wave of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

But unlike their peers, Sweet Savage never released a full album during their first run. Instead, they became underground legends, gaining wide recognition after Metallica covered their track "Killing Time" and released it as the B-side of their multi-platinum single "The Unforgiven." The friendship between the two legendary bands continues to this day.


Watch the "Bang" music video below.

Sweet Savage are not here to revive nostalgia, but still, on the new album, their roots are unmistakable — aggressive, fast-paced metal infused with industrial textures and punk rock's DIY ethos.

From the explosive title track to the slower, hard-hitting "Live and Die" and the anthemic "The Chosen One," the album keeps shifting gears without losing punch. Every track feels urgent and direct — this is the sound of a band with nothing to prove and everything to say.

Frontman Ray Haller is backed by longtime drummer Marty McCloskey and guitar force Phil Edgar. The album features guitar work by former band member Simon McBride, who toured and recorded with the band before launching his solo career and joining Deep Purple.

Sweet Savage is back with BANG — and yes, the album hits as hard as the title suggests.

Psych-rockers Tombstones In Their Eyes present anthem 'I Am Cold', transmuting inner turmoil

Los Angeles psychedelic rock outfit Tombstones In Their Eyes present their new single 'I Am Cold', born from a period of intense personal freefall. It's a raw, unflinching look at vulnerability and the chilling acknowledgment of emotional detachment, transforming inner turmoil into a powerful, resonant anthem.  

 'I Am Cold' is released by Kitten Robot Records, along with the B-Side 'Take It Down', which was recorded during the 'Asylum Harbour' sessions. Spawned from a dark night of the soul, is a visceral outpouring of longing and a stark confrontation with a perceived numbness. A testament to creativity salvaged from the depths, this song is a gripping sonic journey forged in a crucible of personal hardship.

'I Am Cold' is the final offering from the band's latest 'Asylum Harbour' album, following psychedelic audio-visual trips for the singles 'By My Side', 'Gimme Some Pain', 'I Like to Feel Good' and 'Mirror'. Recorded at Kitten Robot Studios, this album was recorded produced and engineered by Paul Roessler (known for his work with Josie Cotton, Nina Hagen, Hayley and the Crushers and Gitane Demone) and co-produced by John Treanor.

Today, Tombstones In Their Eyes is made up of long-time members John Treanor(vocals & guitar), Stephen Striegel (drums), Courtney Davies (vocals), Phil Cobb(guitar) and Paul Boutin (guitar), along with new band members Nic Nifoussi (bass) and Clea Cullen (vocals).

What started as a demo-swapping exercise between Treanor in LA and James Cooper in NYC a decade ago evolved into a powerhouse band crafting expansive psychedelic soundscapes. For Treanor, these sonic explorations are not only an immersive subliminal journey, but a way to grapple with anxiety and depression by channeling it into art that boldly gazes outward at the universe while diving deep into the soul. Literally a cosmic therapy session.

The video for 'I Am Cold' was created by Italian multi-arts visionary Francesca Bonci, known for her work with Federale (BJM's Collin Hegna), British bard Philip Parfitt,The Dandy Warhols' Peter G. Holmström a.k.a. Pete International Airport and Slowdive's Rachel Goswell.

'I Am Cold' is out now, digitally everywhere, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where the 'Asylum Harbour' album is also available on CD and on snazzy red vinyl.

New Band PREYRS Release Video for Debut Single "Wave of Wisdom"

PREYRS, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, announce their birth onto the world stage, with their debut single "Wave of Wisdom" — out now via Pelagic Records.

Watch the music video below. 

Stream the single here. 

Fusing raw alternative rock energy with the weight of metal, the quartet's music is an electrifying clash of aggression and euphoria, darkness and uplift, chaos and control. Elements of artists as disparate as Nine Inch Nails, Chelsea Wolfe, Sonic Youth, and Julie Christmas combine to delirious and heady effect.
 

Debut single "Wave of Wisdom" is a perfect introduction to the band, encapsulating their fierce yet gothic anthemic sound — where healing and rage collide in perfect harmony. A defiantly discordant clash of alt-folk slide guitar, and Mormecha's pummeling industrial percussion, "Wave of Wisdom" provides a great bedrock for Montgomery's incandescent delivery of uncertainty.


Of the new single, Montgomery comments, "'Wave of Wisdom' is about turning pain into power — tracing the roots of trauma through our own history and the wider collective to find truth, strength, and healing. It's a raw reclamation of voice, born from the fire. It was written during a stark Canadian winter on Wolfe Island, looking out over the frozen expanse of Lake Ontario, a setting that mirrored the stillness, intensity, and clarity of the song's creation. Self-produced by PREYRS drummer Michael Mormecha at Tree Song Studios, Ireland and mixed by Alex Loring."


Busking on the streets of Belfast from the age of 15, Montgomery met multi-instrumentalist Mormecha a few years later and they've been working together ever since. Both songwriters in their own right, Michael fronted renowned Irish post-hardcore outfit Mojo Fury and worked as a producer for artists including The Bonnevilles, Mojo Fury, and Joshua Burnside. They're joined as PREYRS by longtime guitarist Nolan Donelly and new bass player Ciarán McGreevy.

Known for electrifying live performances, PREYRS will make their UK festival debut at Bloodstock Open Air this August, as well as appearing at Stendhal Festival in Ireland. Nominated as "Best Live Act" and "Best Artist" at the Northern Ireland Music Prize, Montgomery's undeniably fierce and captivating frontperson energy has been her secret weapon often described as "otherworldly" or "a force of nature.'"For those seeking the epic, the healing, the aggressive, and the unrelenting pulse of alternative rock and metal, PREYRS is it.

PREYRS will be supporting punk legends New Model Army across Europe this winter.

Amy Montgomery — Vocals

ABOUT BEARTOOTH:
Caleb Shomo first turned the pain of his struggle with mental health and self-image into music in 2013. Beartooth began as a living document, a diary, a journal of repressed rage and depression. Alone in his basement studio, screaming and singing, playing all the instruments, and self-producing a batch of furious but melodic songs filled with reflection and confession, the Ohio native stared into the abyss, initially with no intention of returning to the heavy music world that burned him as a teen. 

A decade later, the different pieces of his body of work connect in title, sound, and spirit. As the frontman hits 30, Beartooth's fifth album, The Surface, completes this era in 2023. Even more importantly, it kicks off a new chapter filled with surprising optimism and just as honest. Depression is a sick, disgusting, aggressive disease below the surface. Caleb stands ready to bask in the light.

In its celebrated debut, The Surface hit #1 on Billboard’s Hard Rock Albums chart and #5 across Billboard’s Album Sales, Alternative Albums, Top Current Albums, and Vinyl Albums charts. A product of Beartooth's fervent fanbase and radio-ready hits, the band also earned their first #1's on the Mediabase Active Rock and Billboard Mainstream Rock Airplay charts for both "Might Love Myself" and "I Was Alive."

Like Nine Inch Nails, Beartooth remains a one-person band in the studio. On the heels of the introductory Sick EP (2013), Disgusting (2014) produced BEARTOOTH’s first Gold single, "In Between." Aggressive (2016) and Disease(2018) expanded on the desperation and pain, each a step closer to a balance between the blood and tears of classic recordings and the shimmer of modernity.  

Rolling Stone heralded Beartooth as one of 10 Artists You Need to Know. The rabid response to Caleb's music demonstrated how many people related to his struggle for self-acceptance. Below (2021) topped the Rock and Alternative charts and several Best Rock/Metal Albums of the Year lists. Today, the Beartooth catalog boasts more than 1.3 billion streams across all platforms. 

 

Beartooth began as both bomb and balm, an outright refusal to suffer in silence, weaponizing radio-ready bombast, delivering raw emotion mixed with noise-rock chaos. Other bands play the "devastating riffs and catchy hooks" game, but this music is the difference between life and death, and now, a sort of life after death while still here. The band Forbes sees "inching towards a tipping point of becoming the latest arena headliner" is now one step closer.

Rock Icon GLENN HUGHES Unveils New Single “Voice In My Head” + Lyric Video

Rock legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee GLENN HUGHES is pleased to unveil his new single and accompanying video, "Voice In My Head," taken from his upcoming studio album 'Chosen,' set for release on September 5, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

About the new single, GLENN commented:

“'Voice In My Head' tells the story of what’s goin’ on in my subconscious mind. It’s a song that most definitely needed to be written. Very therapeutic.

"We all have 'this voice.' Observe, recognize and be a witness, & let go…”

Watch the Lyric Video for "Voice In My Head"

Commenting on the new album, GLENN stated:

“Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, 'Resonate.' There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists since 2016.

“When writing 'Chosen,' I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith, and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!"

Vocalist, bassist, and songwriter GLENN HUGHES is a true original. No other rock musician has so distinctively blended the finest elements of hard rock, soul, and funk. His astonishing voice is his calling card; he's known as a singer's singer.

After a nine-year hiatus as a solo artist, GLENN HUGHES returns with 'Chosen,' a brand-new solo album that finds him at his most hard-rocking. Explosive and dynamic, 'Chosen'showcases HUGHES at his absolute best, both in songwriting and production. A truly captivating return!

Pre-Order 'Chosen' HERE

GLENN HUGHES, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, The Beatles, and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis also left their mark on him.

 

GLENN HUGHES first found success in the early '70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdaleto the group. Despite initial skepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of‘Burn’ (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.

 

During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet, The Starship, and released two more studio albums, ‘Stormbringer’ and ‘Come Taste The Band,’ before disbanding in 1976.

 

GLENN's first solo album, ‘Play Me Out,’ was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Traversguitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the '80s and '90s, GLENN HUGHES made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists' albums. The endless list includes, among others, Gary Moore, John Norum, and Tony Iommiof Black Sabbath.

 

Since 1992, GLENN has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith, Dave Navarro, John Frusciante, and many others.

 

HUGHES also founded, or took part in, some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.

 

GLENN recently collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket,” which was released on May 22nd, 2025. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time GLENN has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released “Fused” together.

 

GLENN HUGHES has also recently joined forces with Satch Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar.”

Glenn Hughes – Vocals

Soren Andersen - Guitar

Ash Sheehan - Drums

Melodic Hard Rockers LAGUNA Release Debut Album 'The Ghost Of Katrina' — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

Melodic hard rockers LAGUNA are excited to announce the release of their debut album, 'The Ghost Of Katrina,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition, the focus track, “Electric High,” is out now accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.

Vocalist Andrés Espada describes the focus track:

“This song is an unrelenting, high-octane ride from start to finish, with intensity cranked up to ten. It's all about unleashing raw energy, losing control, and breaking down doors.”

Watch the Visualizer for “Electric High"

Hailing from the northern part of Mexico, from the arid desert of Torreón, Coahuila, LAGUNA is a five-piece hard rock band ready to take the world by storm with their debut album, ‘The Ghost Of Katrina.’

 

Drawing from the European and Scandinavian melodic hard rock scene, LAGUNA’s sound is an electrifying blend of powerful production, anthemic choruses, and in-your-face guitar riffs deriving from influences like One Desire, H.E.A.T., and other renowned acts from the scene.

 

'The Ghost Of Katrina' is produced by Jimmy Westerlund (known for his work with One Desire and more recently Giant), and perfectly captures LAGUNA's high-energy and dynamic style, bringing to life a heavy yet melodic sound that's both thrilling and emotionally charged. The songs feature strong hooks, vibrant instrumentation, and an intensity that reflects the band’s unrelenting passion for hard rock.

Order 'The Ghost Of Katrina' HERE

Formed in 2018 by a group of hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts, LAGUNA’s sound is rooted in hard rock but with a distinctive modern twist. Their music is crafted to make listeners scream at the top of their lungs and throw their fists into the air – a perfect soundtrack for anyone who craves a high-octane, fist-pumping experience.

 

LAGUNA’s meteoric rise is a testament to their tireless dedication to their craft. Over the years, they have built a solid reputation in the North and Latin American rock circuits, performing at major festivals like Hell and Heaven Fest (one of Latin America's biggest rock festivals) and the infamous KnotFest. The band has had the privilege of opening for iconic acts such asW.A.S.P., Timo Tolkki, and The Warning, further solidifying their place in the international rock scene.

 

LAGUNA’s music is a reflection of the barren desert from which they hail – a place where resilience and tenacity are born out of hardship. As guitarist José Mesta explains, “Long before it was a desert, it was a lagoon, but dried out thousands of years ago, leaving nothing but snakes and rats, yet deep down beneath the surface, water flows through the caverns of this great desert”. This metaphor speaks to the essence of LAGUNA – a band born from the depths of hardship, yet ready to rise with the power and energy that only hard rock can bring.

 

LAGUNA is set to make waves across the global rock scene. Their blend of melodic hooks, heavy riffs, and explosive energy will leave listeners craving more. This is only the beginning for LAGUNA, and they are poised to continue proving that Mexicans can indeed rock!

Andrés Espada – Lead Vocals

José Mesta – Lead Guitars

Firio Verástegui – Rhythm Guitars

Daniel Mesta – Bass

DREAMS OF GRAY Unleashes New Single "Beyond The Sky" Ahead of Upcoming EP

Emerging from the shadows of loss and into the full light of artistic rebirth, DREAMS OF GRAY announces the release of their blistering new single, “Beyond the Sky”, from the upcoming EP A Beginning, arriving September 5, 2025. The track is an unapologetic riff-driven anthem that asks deep spiritual questions while channeling the fury and force of melodic extreme metal at its most raw and relentless.

“Beyond the Sky” is the most direct and aggressive track on A Beginning. It is a headbanger’s delight rooted in death metal and thrash, yet laced with DREAMS OF GRAY’s signature melodic sensibility. It is fast, it is loud, and it is destined to open live sets. Beneath the savage riffs and relentless pace lies a meditation on the eternal: a soul adrift, seeking peace in the life beyond.

Based in Chicago, DREAMS OF GRAY began as Rivera’s solo project after a long hiatus from music. Formerly of ABOLISHER, a band praised in Metal Maniacs and Brave Words and Bloody Knuckles, Rivera stepped away to pursue a career in medicine. Now a Family Medicine physician, he brings the same intensity to music that he brings to his patients. A Beginning marks a powerful return.

Joining Rivera on A Beginning are elite collaborators: Maria Kosma (bass), Nicole Trinchero (drums on the title track), and Scott Elliot, who provided drum programming for “Beyond the Sky” and “Across the Endless Sea”, while also handling engineering, mixing, and mastering for both songs. Josh Middleton contributed engineering and mastering on the opening track “A Beginning”.

About DREAMS OF GRAY:

DREAMS OF GRAY is the melodic extreme metal project of Chicago-based musician and physician Luis Rivera. Blending elements of melodic death, doom, thrash, and traditional heavy metal, the music is as emotionally resonant as it is sonically intense. Founded in 2022, DREAMS OF GRAY quickly made an impact with the independently released debut EP The World After in 2023, earning critical acclaim across the international metal press.

Known for its compelling fusion of melody and heaviness, DREAMS OF GRAY stands out for intelligent songwriting, deeply human lyricism, and an uncompromising creative vision. Rivera’s music confronts themes of loss, grief, resilience, and existential reflection—delivered through dynamic vocals and powerful, layered instrumentation.

Now joined by a cast of talented collaborators, DREAMS OF GRAY continues to evolve with the upcoming EP A Beginning (2025), a bold and immersive follow-up that further refines the project’s genre-defying sound. Whether you’re drawn to the introspection of OPETH, the melodic fire of IN FLAMES, or the weight of PARADISE LOST, DREAMS OF GRAY offers something uniquely honest and unforgettable in today’s extreme metal landscape.

Maximo Park maestro Duncan Lloyd releases 'Unwound' LP, an exercise of coping & catharsis

At long last, Duncan Lloyd has released his sixth album 'Unwound'. Previously with Warp Records, this is his first album of new material via Scotland's Reveal Records, who previously reissues of Lloyd’s early solo albums, including the colossal 31-track selected works collection 'Green Grows Devotion' (2022) and 'Fun City' (a trilogy of EPs recorded in 2024).

Written during a difficult personal period, this 12-track record came into being as a form of sonic therapy - a means of coping and catharsis, forging a sound with greater depth and ambition than past releases. Lloyd earlier shared the singles 'Laugh So Loud'and 'Rituals', blending a modern sound with a deeply personal message about habits and healing, voiced through a circular, radio-like musical journey.

A critically acclaimed solo artist, Lloyd is the primary musician behind internationally renowned art-rockers Maximo Park and also half of Nano Kino (with Sarah Suri). He is a Mercury Music Prize nominee, has won an NME award, had A-listed singles at BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music (including lyric of the year), and has seen success with worldwide platinum and gold selling records. His songs have featured on eight hit albums with Maximo Park, consistently charting in the Top 10 U.K.

With cover artwork derived from Lloyd’s own paintings, this record weaves a unique musical maze of free and varied personal expression, deep and transient, spare, intense and urgent with a balance of grit, beauty and melody. Things got moving when Lloyd set to work with Julie McLarnon (The Vaselines, Lankum, King Creosote, Brigid Mae Power) at Analogue Catalogue Studios in Ireland. Gaining impetus from his trip across the Irish sea, Lloyd returned to Newcastle to complete the rest of the album, each song carefully crafted with more anarchical arrangements than previous outings.

“I needed a break from all things online. Stepping away from it and being closer to nature reignites the imagination, it’s kind of obvious but easy to forget how important it is.  It’s an album about experience, throughout you get the sense that dynamics, speed and space were all careful considerations. I am sort of looking under the soil trying to shape the sounds I imagine and if possible create something relatable that has a heart. I didn’t want it to be one produced sound, I wanted it to feel like different rooms, many spaces," says Duncan Lloyd.

"I partly had the book "The Poetics of Space" by Gaston Bachelard in mind, every song is it’s own room with it’s own signature. This is probably my heaviest album, in sound and mood. There are songs that lean towards post-punk and with hypnotic rhythms that are darker in tone. I wanted it to feel like the listener can climb inside the sound rather than be on the outside looking in. I don’t want them to be in the cinema I want them to be in the film or in the room, so it’s almost spooky."

The album features a host of Lloyd’s musician friends, including Maximo Park keyboardist Jemma Freese and drummer Tom English, Andrew Mills (Purploid Zing) and Joe Boyer (Cloud Nothings, Autopolitan, Nicole Yun).

'Unwound' is imbued with a darker mood than Lloyd’s previous works, but with a continuing sense of melancholy at its core. Restrained yet intimate lyrics are housed in inventively evolving structures. The album draws to a close with 'A World Away Now', a song of lost opportunity. Sometimes simply making a connection is enough.

"Sometimes on a song the bass or percussion talks louder than a voice, so I mixed it like that. Sometimes nothing else contends if the emotion isn’t clear. When you hear musicians playing together, you are invited into something far more personal or engaging. You can’t always tell the detail, yet you can feel the dynamics -- you can sense it is living," says Duncan Lloyd.

"I may let guitars get loud and careen around if that’s where it wants to go. It can then go the other way and be minimal, economical. Although it is a very personal album, it’s also addressed to the stranger and, if the listener can relate and even laugh about what life throws at us, then a connection lives”.  

Writing and recording under his own name for the last decade, Lloyd has enjoyed many collaborations, including with Paul Epworth (Bloc Party, Glass Animals, Rihanna), Gil Norton (The Pixies, Echo & The Bunnymen), Nick Launay (Nick Cave, Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Ben Allen (Gnarls Barclay, Deerhunter), Rudimental, Dave Okumu, Batidaand legendary Afrobeat drummer Tony Allen.

'Unwound' is out now, available digitally via Bandcamp and digital music platforms, including Apple Music and Spotify. It is also released on CD, the first 200 ordered coming with a bonus live four-track recording in 'The Polestar Sessions' EP.

AFTER THE BURIAL Strip Everything Down on Crushing New Single; Their First In Over Two Years

Minneapolis progressive metal powerhouse After The Burial have returned with their first new single in over two years, "Hum From The Hollow". The punishing new track finds the band excavating dark emotional territory and serves as a brutal reminder of why After The Burial remain an essential voice in modern heavy music. The release is accompanied by an official visualizer and arrives ahead of their upcoming N. American run with We Came As Romans on their "Bad Luck" headline tour. Watch the visualizer below and stream the song HERE.

"Hum From The Hollow" showcases the band's signature blend of mathematically precise 8-string guitar work and crushing rhythmic foundations. Lyrically, it navigates themes of internal decay and psychological torment. Sonically, the single balances the band's insane technical prowess with a visceral, almost suffocating sense of fury that perfectly complements the track's exploration of existential dread. Speaking on the new track, founding guitarist Trent Hafdahl explains

"This song is one of many from the new album that have the same theme: pissed off. Sometimes you have to strip it all down and give the fans something to let their anger out to, so that's what we did here."

With Anthony Notarmaso's devastating vocal performance perfectly mirroring the song's exploration of psychological torment, Trent Hafdahl's innovative, jagged guitar work anchoring their sound and the unflinching rhythm section of Adrian Oropeza(bass) and Dan Carle (drums) providing a brutally heavy, unshakeable foundation, "Hum From The Hollow" confirms that After The Burial continue to be a band that understands the therapeutic power of pure, unrelenting heaviness who are unafraid to confront the uncomfortable realities of human experience through their brutal sonic lens.

The new single arrives as After The Burial prepare to join We Came As Romans on the highly anticipated N. American leg of their "Bad Luck" World Tour. Tickets are available now HERE. Full routing below.

About After The Burial

Minneapolis progressive metal heavyweights, After The Burial have spent two decades forging the blueprint for modern heavy music. Since forming in 2004, the quartet—Anthony Notarmaso (vocals), Trent Hafdahl (lead guitar), Adrian Oropeza(bass), and Dan Carle (drums)—have emerged as architects of the djent movement while consistently pushing the boundaries of what heavy music can be. Their signature blend of mathematically precise 8-string guitar work, crushing grooves, and Notarmaso's devastating vocal range has influenced an entire generation of metalcore and progressive metal acts.

With six full-length albums under their belt, including career-defining releases like Rareform (2009), Dig Deep (2016), and Evergreen (2019), After The Burial have proven their staying power through both triumph and tragedy. Their 2023 return with the emotionally charged double single "Embrace the Infinity" marked their first new music in four years, showcasing a band that refuses to compromise their artistic vision.

Currently signed to Sumerian Records, After The Burial have shared stages with everyone from Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive to The Black Dahlia Murder and Spiritbox. Now, with "Hum The Hollow" setting the tone for both their upcoming US tour with We Came As Romans and the dawning of a new chapter, After The Burial continue to deliver the crushing live performances and innovative songwriting that have made them essential figures in the modern metal landscape.

MIKE TRAMP Announces New Album 'Songs of White Lion — Vol. III' Out on September 19, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl

Esteemed rock vocalist and guitarist MIKE TRAMP is pleased to announce the release of his new album, 'Songs of White Lion — Vol. III,' due out on September 19th via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announcement, the lead single "Cherokee" is out now, accompanied by a music video, available below.

Mike comments on the track:

"Revisiting 'Cherokee,' one of the first songs Vito Bratta and I wrote in 1983, was so amazing, I always loved that song, and the new version only confirms what a great song it still is."

Watch the Music Video for "Cherokee" Below.

MIKE TRAMP, the unmistakable voice and principal songwriter of White Lion, concludes his heartfelt trilogy with 'Songs of White Lion — Vol. III,'  a powerful and deeply personal tribute to one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s melodic hard rock scene.

Tramp speaks on how this series of recordings came together:

"For me, the point of re-recording the old classic White Lion songs was all about letting the audience know HOW the band would sound if they come to see us live. Bringing the sound up today and away from a world no more. When I started with 'Vol. I' I must admit, I never thought I’d do 'Vol. II' and now 'Vol. III.' But having done it all now, makes all the more sense to me. If I have to be active playing White Lion in 2025 and onward, there's got to be a natural progression in every way. That is exactly what this Trilogy is all about. 

 

In this final installment, TRAMP revisits and reimagines ten more essential songs from the White Lion catalog, bringing them back to life with the passion, perspective, and authenticity that only decades of experience can deliver.

Once again backed by his trusted bandmates — Marcus Nand (guitar), Claus Langeskov (bass), and Morten Hellborn(drums) — TRAMP offers fresh but respectful renditions of these classic tracks, capturing their spirit while elevating them with a more refined, seasoned sound.

From the raw defiance of "Fight To Survive," to the cinematic power of "Warsong," and the infectious rhythm of "Radar Love," this album is both a celebration and a reawakening.

Standing as more than a simple re-recording project, 'Songs of White Lion — Vol. III' is the emotional conclusion of a trilogy — a journey through time, memory, and music that connects the past to the present with integrity and fire.

This is not just a tribute, it’s MIKE TRAMP reclaiming and honoring his legacy.
