SICKSENSE Return With Defiant New Single “Newsflash” + Official Music Video

SICKSENSE are back with “Newsflash,” a hard-hitting new single and music video that marks the next chapter for the band while signaling even more music to come later this year. Blending the band’s signature intensity with a fresh sonic direction, “Newsflash” is both a fearless statement of identity and a bold evolution of the SICKSENSE sound.

Driven by infectious hooks, crushing grooves, and the band’s unmistakable energy, “Newsflash” taps into the frustration of living in a world obsessed with conformity and judgment while turning that tension into an empowering rally cry.

“Newsflash is about being unapologetically you,” says vocalist Vicky Psarakis. “We live in a world where people feel a constant pressure to fit into societal standards that are always evolving, leaving us confused and afraid to show our real self. ‘Newsflash of the week, everyone’s a freak’ is the hook in the chorus that empowers you to be different, weird, quirky. Embrace it, own it. Life is short, we shouldn’t spend it always worrying about what others think.”

Vocalist Robby J. Fonts adds: “People love finding excuses to tear others down. Instead of building their own lives, they live to make everyone else around them as miserable as they are. Newsflash is about pointing out that irony and telling everyone: ‘You know what? Stay miserable. I’m going to live my life how I choose without worrying about what you think of me’.”

He continues: “It’s a fun anthem that’s a throwback to SICKSENSE’s original ‘in-your-face’ attitude while sonically pushing the band forward from where we left off with our ‘Cross Me Twice’ album.”

Accompanied by a visually explosive new music video, “Newsflash” captures the raw personality and fearless spirit that have made SICKSENSE one of the most exciting emerging acts in modern heavy music. The single also serves as a harbinger of more material on the horizon.

With “Newsflash,” SICKSENSE are making one thing clear: individuality is power, and they’re louder, bolder, and more fearless than ever.

At their core, SICKSENSE represent resilience, individuality, and fearless self-expression. Whether through brutally honest lyrics, high-energy live performances, or their hands-on approach to every aspect of the band’s creative vision, SICKSENSE continue to prove that heavy music has no boundaries when authenticity leads the way.

SICKSENSE is:

  • Vicky Psarakis — vocals, lyrics, keys

  • Robby J. Fonts — vocals, lyrics

  • Jackson Snowden — guitars

  • Richard Regier — bass, violin

  • Sam Neumann — drums

Ocean Sleeper Share Powerful New Video + Single "Break The Cycle"

Regional Victorian metalcore kings Ocean Sleeper return in 2026 transformed — sharper, heavier, and more emotionally resonant than ever before. Following a relentless two-year stretch of international touring and writing, the four-piece now steps into a new age with their most defining release to date — their powerful and defiant new single "Break The Cycle" (via BMG/Rise Records). Marked as the shining start of the next Ocean Sleeper era, "Break The Cycle" captures the band's enduring resilience in the face of adversity. 

"Break The Cycle" was born from a creative partnership sparked when Ocean Sleeper brought Point North to Australia to support their sold-out 2025 tour. Following this connection, and after landing in the U.S. for their headline tour and attending the Warped Tour to watch their friends Lil Lotus, Sace6, and Point North play, they headed into the studio the following day with Jon Lundin of Point North (Falling In Reverse) to co-write the track. The result is one of their most anthemic and emotionally-charged releases to date. 

"This song captures our struggle in breaking out of Australia and into the global touring market as an independent band," Ocean Sleeper says. "It's fast-paced, heavier than before, while still keeping the emotional depth with one of our biggest choruses to date. We instantly knew this song was going to be something special."

Hailing from Gippsland in regional Victoria, and all working trades by day, Ocean Sleeper's background is core to their identity and the deep connection they share with fans. Despite hailing from a small country town, Ocean Sleeper have never let geographical limits stand in their way — tearing down barriers and defying expectations at every turn. Through fierce self-sufficiency and brutal persistence, the metalcore four-piece have built a vehemently loyal fan base and following throughout Australia, the U.S., and Europe.

Forging a sound that is heavy, melodic and atmospheric, FIMBUL WINTER honor the legacy of their death metal foundations producing music that feels familiar yet is modern in its approach. "Crowned In Ash" is the latest release from FIMBUL WINTER following the 2025 debut EP What Once Was. 

With a line-up formed of three previous members of AMON AMARTH, and completed with Clint Williams, FIMBUL WINTER embarks on greater exploration and development of melodic death metal. Drawing from their knowledge and experience in AMON AMARTH, and expanding further their artistic boundaries, FIMBUL WINTER brings power, energy and intensity into all of their sonic offerings. 

"Crowned In Ash" emerges from the flames in an enticing soundscape infused with intriguing melodic leads. Driving rhythms take precedence pushing the track's momentum forward while guitar leads continue to entwine across the instrumental layers and Clint Williams' monstrous vocals are unleashed above. 

The band states "There was never a question of what we should sound like, we’ve been shaping this sound/genre for decades, this is in our DNA"

An authoritative force prevails across the choruses in "Crowned In Ash". The fast-pace lessens its grip to allow the progressions and vocal performance the space to land with thunderous impact. FIMBUL WINTER ensure the track's main riff remains compelling and constant throughout, while deploying enveloping, shifting dynamics throughout the musical arrangement. 

About FIMBUL WINTER:

Comprised of three former members of AMON AMARTH, including founding members Niko Kaukinen and Anders Biazzi, FIMBUL WINTER strive to redefine melodic death metal. Based out of Stockholm, Sweden and Melbourne, Australia, FIMBUL WINTER formed in 2023 building upon their roots and the members' legacies in Swedish death metal. 

FIMBUL WINTER's beginnings grew from a spontaneous reunion performing AMON AMARTH's 1994 demo titled The Arrival Of The Fimbul Winter. The instant connection between the musicians ignited a desire to create something new that captured the essence of Swedish death metal in an updated style that is clean and modern without being polished to its detriment. 2025 brought this vision to life with the unveiling of the ensemble's first EP, What Once Was.

The new single release, "Crowned In Ash" marks the band's continuing trajectory. FIMBUL WINTER push their compositional creativity while striving to remain truly authentic to a sound they helped to craft.

Steve Hogarth Revists "Ice Cream Genius" In Expansive New Deluxe Edition

To mark Steve Hogarth's 70th birthday, Ice Cream Genius returns in its most complete form to date. Originally released in 1997, the album was Hogarth's first solo studio work outside of Marillion, a deeply personal, experimental and intimate record that has grown into a cult favourite over the years.

Ice Cream Genius was never intended as an extension of Marillion. Built around minimal arrangements, spoken-word passages, and unfiltered lyrical moments, the album explores identity, isolation and creativity with striking directness. Its strength lies not in scale, but in its vulnerability: A record that feels exposed, unusual and unmistakably human.

At the center of the reissue is the 3CD+Blu-ray Mediabook, the most expansive presentation of Ice Cream Genius ever assembled. Featuring more than 11 hours of material, the vast majority previously unreleased, this edition opens up the full creative world behind the album including all available live videos of the much-acclaimed "h Band" upscaled and remixed by the artist.

Complementing the Mediabook, Ice Cream Genius will also be released for the first time on vinyl as a heavyweight black 2LP gatefold edition. This format includes "The Last Thing," a track previously unavailable on physical formats in Europe, making it a notable addition for collectors.

Recorded at the Racket Club, with vocals added at Chris Rea's Sol Mill Studios in Cookham and mixed at Van Morrison's Wool Hall Studios in Somerset, the album was completed on July 20, 1996, following a break during Marillion's Made Again tour. The core band was handpicked from "the last people on earth anyone might have expected me to work with" and includes members of Blondie, XTC, Japan, and Eurythmics.

The title itself originated from producer Craig Leon, who would exclaim, "I scream genius!" in the studio when particularly inspired, a phrase Hogarth later transformed into the album's distinctive name.

Across demos, writing sessions, studio recordings and live material, the set traces the evolution of Ice Cream Genius from its earliest sketches through to the finished record. Alongside the music, new reflections from Steve Hogarth provide personal insight into the ideas, emotions and circumstances that shaped the album, offering a rare, in-depth look at one of his most intimate and uncompromising projects.

Full album available for pre-rder now!

ONLY ECHOES Unveil Crushing New Single “Steps Ahead Of Drowning”

Denver, Colorado post-metal band ONLY ECHOES return with “Steps Ahead Of Drowning,” the first single from their forthcoming full-length album Born Adrift, due out August 14, 2026 on Braeburn Records.

Built on towering riffs, slow-burning atmosphere, and crushing dynamic shifts, “Steps Ahead Of Drowning” captures the band’s signature approach to instrumental post-metal: immersive, emotionally charged, and relentlessly heavy. Accompanied by a new music video, the seven-minute track serves as the first glimpse into Born Adrift, a record shaped by isolation, movement, collapse, and survival.

ONLY ECHOES describe themselves simply:

“No gods, no vocals.”

Without relying on lyrics, the Denver quartet channels weight and tension through layered guitars, massive low end, and cinematic percussion, crafting songs that feel equally meditative and catastrophic. “Steps Ahead Of Drowning” moves from fragile restraint into tidal waves of distortion, embodying the album’s themes of drifting, endurance, and transformation.

Born Adrift was produced, engineered, and mixed by guitarist Austin Minney at All Aces Studio, with mastering handled by Brad Smalling at Evergroove. The album artwork features an original 1876 engraving by Gustave Doré, reimagined with color and illustration work by Celeste Hayes (@chayesart).

VOÏVOD Launches New Single “The End Of Dormancy (Symphonique)” + Visualizer

After more than 40 eventful years of existence, Canada's progressive sci-fi metal innovators VOÏVOD return with ‘Symphonique,’ a special live release together with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, set for release on June 5, 2026, worldwide via Century Media Records.

‘Symphonique,’ which functions like an epic piece of cinema, showcases VOÏVOD’s pioneering futuristic metal with the strains of a symphony orchestra, and features a carefully curated VOÏVOD best-of setlist composed of 12 songs across 73 minutes, recorded live on June 4th, 2025, at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City, Canada.

The next appetizer for ‘Symphonique’ can now be heard online via DSP’s with the launch of the second single “The End Of Dormancy (Symphonique),” alongside an official visualizer curated by Cloud Motion Design, available to view below.

Previously, the song “Forgotten In Space (Symphonique)” was launched HERE.

VOÏVOD’s drummer and founding member Michel “Away” Langevin comments on ‘Symphonique’:

 

“This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality. Thankfully, we will experience it again in 2027 with the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, right in the region where VOÏVOD formed back in 1983. We wish to take this show across the globe with local orchestras one day, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this epic release. It’s the closest we’ve ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours!”

 

VOÏVOD’s guitarist Daniel “Chewy” Mongrain shares the following about the second single "The End Of Dormancy (Symphonique)”:

“This one is very special to me. I wrote the riffs imagining Roman naval battles with a full orchestra, like the movies from the 50’s and 60’s. It has a very dramatic vibe. Little did I know that what we synthesized for a four-piece band would eventually explode into its primary, original imagined form. It’s one of the most orchestral pieces on the album, and I remember vividly the crowd’s reaction after the grand finale, it was one of these rare life’s perfect moments. I’m very grateful for that incredible experience.”

Symphonique' follows the release of VOÏVOD’s latest Juno Award-winning studio album,'Synchro Anarchy' (2022), which reached #7 on the official album sales charts in Germany, #64 in Switzerland, #67 in Austria, and #88 in the Netherlands upon release.

The Artery Foundation Welcomes Kage Archer to the Roster

The Artery Foundation continues to expand its roster with an exciting clutch of new talent. The label has also signed 13-year-old social media wunderkind KAGE ARCHER to the roster.

He shares the heavier-than-granite "Carry the Weight," featuring Taylor Barber of Left to Suffer. Listen here.

Watch the video below. 

Yes, he's really 13. And yes, his music is brutal AF and he represents the future of heavy music.

"'Carry the Weight' isn't just another heavy song; it's a look at envy," Archer says, showcasing an astuteness beyond his years. "People see the highlight reel, the good side of my life, and say, 'I want that.' Sometimes wanting to be in my shoes, but they have no idea the work that goes on when the camera isn't rolling. Or the work that had to happen as a 10-year-old to right now to get to this point."

Wichita, Kansas-based vocalist Kage Archer is redefining the future of heavy music at just 13 years old. A multi-instrumentalist who mastered drums at four and self-taught guitar and bass shortly after, Kage found his true calling behind the mic. His rise began when a TikTok video of him covering Motionless in White's "Slaughterhouse" went viral, landing him on stage with the band at age 10 in front of 6,000+ fans, a performance Chris Motionless (Motionless in White Vocalist) dubbed a "Top-10 career moment."

Known to collect high-profile performances like Infinity stones, Kage has demolished stages with Fit For A King, From Ashes to New, Alphawolf, and I Prevail. Now, with guidance from industry heavy-hitter Hiram Hernandez (Producer for Blessthefall, Saosin, Left To Suffer, etc.) and backing from The Artery Foundation, Kage Archer is stepping out of the cover scene to unleash his own original music and dominate the heavy music world.

Miranda Lambert Slathers “Crisco” – ACM Awards Get Country & Disco’d

When it comes to music, Miranda Lambert isn’t playing. The fierce songwriter from Lindale, Texas has always leaned hard into Lone Star traditions, while moving what country music can be forward with a strong set of roots. Leave it to the woman who co-wrote and co-produced Ella Langley’s tsunami of a song “Choosin’ Texas” to return with music that takes a whole new spin on what dance hall cowboys can embrace with a strong sense of retro and a whole lot of fun.
 
Expanding on “A Song To Sing,” one of her two ACM Music Event of the Year nominations, Lambert takes the Chris Stapleton duet’s roller rink innocence – and deep dives into a pair of distinctive retro dancefloor sounds. Drawing on the good timing two steppery of “Urban Cowboy” and the sleek, disco urbanity of “Saturday Night Fever,” Lambert pioneers of a whole new sound with her first release with MCA, “Crisco.” 
 
Literally, country and disco twisted together by luxurious strings and a melody that twirls around listeners. With lyrics that invoke in a real life way Starland Vocal Band’s “Afternoon Delight,” Glen Campbell’s “Southern Nights” and Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton’s “Islands in the Stream,” as well as outright name-checking Conway (Twitty), Loretta (Lynn) and the Seventies, one can’t help but feel brighter, lighter and ready to kick up their heels. 
 
“We wanted something that feels familiar but also fresh, which is really hard to do,” Lambert enthuses. “We leaned into all the things I grew up loving about country music – Glen Campbell, Kenny and Dolly; very ’70s and ’80s. It’s a fun mix of all these sides of country music that I’ve never fully explored before, even down to using strings in a bigger way. I almost can’t believe I’ve made this many records without really going there, but it was magical to hear how much strings can transform a song.” 

To really bring that recipe home, the song co-written with Aaron Raitiere, Jesse Frasure and Chill Fellacheck boasts a chorus that breaks it down: 
        Baby, we’ve been cooking with Crisco
        Ain’t we mixin’ country and disco
        Stir it around, give it a spin
        And it’s a rhinestone world we’re livin’ in…
 
Further paying homage to the era and the influences, Lambert will debut the ebullient confection at the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards this Sunday, May 17, streaming live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET.
 
Beyond her pair of Music Event nods – the second for “Trailblazer” with Lainey Wilson and Reba McEntire – plus both Song and Visual Media of the Year with Stapleton, Lambert is nominated for Female Artist of the Year and for Song and Single as co-writer and co-producer of Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas.” As a strong advocate for females, new artists and Texas, the 2022 Entertainer of the Year rides into the 2026 ACM Awards strong.
 
“There’s nothing that makes me happy like music,” Lambert says. “Going to Vegas, nominated with old friends, new friends and on my own, as an artist, but also a producer and writer, that makes me feel like we’re just getting started. With ‘Crisco,’ it’s gonna be a great time seeing where it’s all gonna go.”

"Ride The White Storm" delivers ATAVISTIA's signature style. It appears later in the track list on Old Gods Awaken to allow the band's more experimental compositions to take the lead. "Ride The White Storm" makes it clear that ATAVISTIA have not abandoned their established sound so many long-time listeners connect with, instead it sits alongside their creative evolution. 

A dramatic flurry of orchestral layers, highly melodic and intricate guitar leads, ferocious blast beats and monstrous harsh vocals collide in "Ride The White Storm". Clean vocal harmonies and technical guitars intertwine and soar across the intense textural arrangement that progresses beneath. 

The new album Old Gods Awaken showcases ATAVISTIA’s most folk-inspired material to date. Featuring shorter, catchier, and more direct compositions, the record reflects the band’s evolving creative direction while staying rooted in their signature sound. Drawing influence from folk metal, black metal, and a wide spectrum of styles in between, the album captures the band’s commitment to following inspiration wherever it leads.

Known for their fluid approach to genre and songwriting, ATAVISTIA continues to push boundaries while maintaining the essence that defines them.

Old Gods Awaken was produced, mixed and mastered by Mattias Sippola. The album was recorded at Atavistic Studios by Mattias Sippola and Max Sepulveda. Cover artwork for the release was created by Costin Chioreanu.

Melodic Metal Pioneers NARNIA Release New Single "Jerusalem" + Official Music Video

Today, Swedish melodic metal pioneers NARNIA proudly release their new single, “Jerusalem,” taken from their upcoming tenth studio album 'X,' set for release on May 29th via Sound Pollution. The new track arrives alongside an official music video.

 

“Jerusalem” is one of the standout tracks on ‘X,’ bringing a slightly different flavor while still resting firmly on NARNIA’s melodic foundation. With its refined sense of grandeur, strong harmonies, and subtle progressive elements, the song adds a distinct shade to the album while remaining deeply rooted in the band’s identity.

 

The video was animated and edited by bassist Jonatan “Jono” Samuelsson, adding a visual dimension that reflects the song’s themes of faith, perseverance, and the hope of eternity.

 

Vocally, the track adds further depth to the album, with CJ Grimmark and Jonatan Samuelsson contributing lead lines in the verses, while Christian Liljegren continues to carry the song with his unmistakable voice and presence.

Watch the Music Video for "Jerusalem" Below:

NARNIA's upcoming album, 'X,' marks the band's 30th anniversary and nearly three decades of unwavering presence on the international metal scene.

While their previous release ‘Ghost Town’ (2023) reaffirmed the band’s melodic metal foundation, ‘X’ expands NARNIA’s sonic landscape. The album moves confidently between soaring, arena-ready choruses and more adventurous, progressive passages, without ever losing the band’s unmistakable identity.

Songs like “Oceanwide,” “Every Breath,” and “Heaven’s Calling” showcase NARNIA’s gift for strong hooks and uplifting melodies. At the other end of the spectrum, the high-energy “Remedy (SOS)” pushes the tempo to new heights, while tracks such as “God Under Fire”and “Jerusalem” explore more intricate arrangements and progressive textures.

Multiple lead vocalists share the spotlight throughout the album. Guitarist CJ Grimmark and bassist Jonatan “Jono” Samuelsson step forward on selected tracks, adding new tonal colors, while Christian Liljegren’s unmistakable voice continues to anchor the sound.

The album also reconnects with the band’s legacy. “The Man from Nazareth Pt. II” serves as a continuation of a fan-favorite from the 2006 album ‘Enter the Gate,’ while “The War that Tore the Land (Reprise)” offers a reflective callback to 2019’s ‘From Darkness to Light.’

Guitarist CJ Grimmark comments:

“This album represents both where we come from and where we’re heading. It’s heavier, broader, and more dynamic, but still unmistakably NARNIA.”

Following last week's announcement of their 2027 Europe dates —  the third leg of their 2026–2028 World Tour — the band posted various snippets of new music on social media, which detonated amongst fans and industry alike, sparking worldwide speculation and excitement. Twenty years in, the band shows no signs of slowing down — they are entering a new era, simultaneously embracing the best of their past while reinventing themselves. After an astonishing 30 Top 10 hit singles, "Eye Of The Storm" is poised to be the next — with even the pre-release snippets going viral and earning immediate embrace from fans and industry alike. The band’s forthcoming 10th studio album is expected to be released this year.

Listen to the new single "Eye Of The Storm" HERE and watch the lyric video Below:

Zoltan Bathory, Founder + Guitarist, Five Finger Death Punch: "The new music has been turning out heavier than anything we've done in years, with a cinematic undertone running beneath it. We had three years to write this record and really live with it. We started with nearly 30 songs and carved it down to 14 or 15, we even considered a double album at one point. This is our 10th studio album and our 20th anniversary as a band, we knew we had to hit it hard. What excites me most is that I'm hearing the early era again, that grit, that bite, that aggression, while simultaneously exploring completely new territories. I wrote the music for the entire first album and most of the second, so that energy isn't nostalgia for me, it's where I come from. Those are my roots. It feels like coming home at full speed, while my brother Ivan is bringing some incredible lyrics and melodies, and his voice sounds absolutely huge on this record. I am really looking forward to the next decade."

This summer, Five Finger Death Punch will embark on the first leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour, which will take them all across North America with special guest Cody Jinks and Eva Under Fire before hitting arenas in the UK/EU with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within in early 2027.

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band's journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades. 

Produced by Live Nation, the 48-city North American tour kicks off on Monday, July 20 at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, NJ, and wraps up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on Friday, October 23. The North American tour lineup will be rounded out by Eva Under Fire, whose current single "Villainous" (featuringMaria Brink of In This Moment) from the forthcoming album of the same name, is currently climbing the Rock Charts, sitting at #15 this week.    

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour’s commitment to championing America’s next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition  

5FDP's 2027 UK/EUROPEAN tour leg with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Withinwill kick off in the UK in Manchester on Saturday, January 16, 2027 and will see the band perform in 21 cities across the continent, ending in Helsinki on February 22.

Holding Absence Announce New Album 'Modern Life Is Lonely' Out August 28 via Sumerian Records

South Wales trio Holding Absence have today announced the release of their third album, ‘Modern Life Is Lonely’, on August 28th via new label partner Sumerian Records. To mark the announcement, the band have also released a brand new single, "Reflection", a bruised, deeply introspective anthem about confronting self-destruction, distorted self-image and the painful process of learning to heal, evolve and finally accept your own reflection. 

Speaking of the track and today’s announcement, frontman Lucas Woodland shares, “We are ecstatic to release our new single "Reflection", taken from our upcoming album ‘Modern Life Is Lonely’. This album is our boldest and most creative body of work to date, so we can't wait for you to hear the whole thing in August! In the meantime, we hope you enjoy "Reflection.” 

'Modern Life Is Lonely' is a deeply human exploration of grief, love, identity and emotional survival in an overstimulated world, tracing the fragile line between despair and rebirth through imagery of broken mirrors, fading memories, fractured bodies and ghost-like connections. Across the record, Holding Absence wrestle with loneliness, trauma, mortality and the search for meaning, balancing crushing vulnerability with moments of transcendence and hope as the album’s characters attempt to reconnect with themselves and each other before time, distance and modern existence pull them apart completely. Pre-save the album at the link here.

After bringing the heat at last week's Welcome To Rockville, Holding Absence will next be setting their sight on Sonic Temple this weekend, Louder Than Life in September, and Aftershock in October. For ticket info, please click here.

Darkwave-shoegaze pioneers LOWSUNDAY unveil ‘Black EP’, new offering after 25-year hiatus

US darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday is back with new music via Projekt Records - the 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine - Black EP', the second release of all-new material released since 1999. The album released focus track 'Shattered', the band has also shared a darkly fascinating video for 'This Is Not Heaven', produced by Jer Herring.

Lowsunday (initially Low Sunday Ghost Machine) emerged as a "retro-futurist" pioneer, blending darkwave and shoegaze long before the genres saw their modern revival. Their legacy was cemented with their debut album 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine' and the 1999 masterpiece 'Elesgiem', both re-released via Projekt Records in the past 18 months (for their 30th and 25th anniversaries, respectively).

When they dissolved, they left behind a cult reputation for mercurial sounds and blistering guitar work that set the stage for subsequent generations of alternative artists. Following a nearly 25-year period of inactivity, the band resurfaced as a duo in 2025—consisting of original members Shane Sahene (vocals, guitar, synth, bass, drums) and Bobby Spell (bass, guitar, drums).

Earlier, the Pittsburgh-based duo released their ‘Low Sunday Ghost Machine - White EP', ranked second among Post-Punk.com's Best EPs of 2025, and showcased by the singles 'Love Language', 'Soft Capture' and 'Nevver'. Both a reflection and a resurgence, Lowsunday's two new EPs usher in a welcome return, marked by superb production and a renewed creative clarity, bridging three decades of distinct sonic legacy with balanced doses of escapism, dreamlike sounds, drones and feedback.

With a sound defined by atmosphere, precision, and heartfelt shadow and depths since 1994, Lowsunday is now asserting their presence with a new force. While the 'White EP' explored light and texture, the 'Black EP' is the darker counterpart and definitive statement. Shadow and intensity, layered guitars, tight rhythms, and austere synths, this new EP' distills the duo's vision into a sharper, more potent form — a bold declaration of their enduring artistic power. 

"The 'Black EP' was an exciting record to make — it just flowed through us, as did the White EP. We have many moments on the record where we don’t understand how the songs got to where they did. We recognize that the songs are somehow more than us — that’s the magic that keeps us coming back for more. I can’t help but view this new EP like the Jungian shadow. We let ourselves indulge in some of the darkest emotions we experience -- there is a confessional nature to it," says Shane Sahene.

"Musically, it’s a natural extension of the 'White EP'. We dreamed of releasing the two EPs back to back - one white, one black -- like a big, heavy record that looks like an Oreo. The cover art makes a completed 12 x 24 image when placed one above the other. This EP series will go down as a very pivotal moment for the band in that it has cleared our emotions and let out many creative impulses."

Their crystalline shimmer, classic song structures and melodic hooks makes for and atmospheric sound that is timeless and as relevant as ever, elevating the elements that defined their earlier work. A bold evolution into more cavernous soundscapes, oscillating between walls of chaotic feedback and fragile, ethereal passages, their resurgence delves into shadowy and vast acoustic realms, shifting from abrasive ripples of distortion to brittle, shoegaze-infused moments of intense longing.

Bobby Spell shares, "For me, this EP is deceptive, opening with energetic and wistful 'You’re So Wired' but followed by songs that are melancholy and introspective. These are the strongest songs we’ve yet done. With strong and memorable melodies, they invoke feelings of isolation (not a new theme for us) and sadness, but in a way that feels familiar instead of depressing, leaving a sense of hope".

As of May 15th, the 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine - Black EP' is available across digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where the limited edition 7" of 'Static / Besides', can also be ordered. The vinyl edition of the album (limited to 200 copies), released on May 29th, can be pre-ordered via Bandcamp and the Projekt Records website.

MADBALL RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM NOT YOUR KINGDOM; LEAD SINGLE 'REBEL KIDS' OUT NOW!

NYHC kings Madball remain one of the few legacy acts capable of seamlessly bridging the gap between the old-school era and the modern heavy music landscape. To say hardcore is in the band’s DNA is an understatement—it is their lifeblood. On their tenth studio album, Not Your Kingdom which will be released on July 24th via Nuclear Blast, the band delivers their trademark tales of survival, but with a deeper, more introspective edge. The lyrics offer a raw look into Freddy Cricien’s perspective on the current state of the world and the human condition, marking their most personal release to date.

The first glimpse into the album arrives with 'Rebel Kids.' An anthemic track at its core, it leans into the band’s classic groove and unrelenting energy while striking a chord with the new generation of hardcore fans. The accompanying music video was co-directed by Freddy Cricien and Dave Causa, with Causa also handling filming and editing duties.

MADBALL's Freddy Cricien comments, "Funny enough, Rebel Kids was the first track written for this album and actually was completely put together probably 2 years ago … or so. The sentiment, vibe and message of the song really became the catalyst for what came after. We all loved the song immediately but I couldn’t have known it would be the first single. We have several songs that we feel could be first “out of the gate”.  But in the end Rebel Kids made the most sense musically, lyrically etc. We look forward to releasing this song and album. It’s a special one for us and we’re hoping the rest of the world feels the same once they hear it!"

A COLD PARADISE Release Music Video For Brand-New Single “Here I Rise”!

Modern metal act A COLD PARADISE have released a new music video for their latest single “Here I Rise”. The project is led by Antonio Calanna, known to many metal fans as the former vocalist of ALL FOR METAL. Marking a bold new chapter, the track combines modern heaviness, emotional intensity and soaring energy into a powerful statement of intent.

Driven by massive riffs, cinematic atmosphere and an uncompromising performance, “Here I Rise” perfectly captures the core identity of A COLD PARADISE. The song reflects themes of growth, resilience and transformation while channeling raw emotion into an explosive and deeply personal listening experience.

Calanna comments: “‘Here I Rise’ is a statement. After our first live shows, we felt the connection with the audience and knew this was just the beginning. This song captures exactly what A Cold Paradise stands for: the will to grow, to rise, and to turn emotion into something powerful. It’s raw, energetic, and unapologetically intense.”

Stream / Download “Here I Rise”: https://acp.rpm.link/risePR 

Watch the video clip below:

A COLD PARADISE is a modern alternative metal band founded in 2025 by Antonio Calanna, signed to Perception – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music. The project was born from a desire to emphasize atmosphere, melody, and emotional depth within heavy music, without compromising its force.

Rooted in genuine feeling, A COLD PARADISE builds its sound from the inside out, letting emotion guide both songwriting and production. Heavy riffs collide with expressive melodies, cinematic atmospheres, and carefully woven electronic elements that shape the emotional arc of each song. The band works with a defined collective identity: music, lyrics, and visuals all feed into the same artistic world, where storytelling, contrast, and emotional weight matter as much as the breakdowns. Living in the tension between vulnerability and force, A COLD PARADISE blends modern metal and rock with immersive textures to create a dynamic, evocative, and unmistakably human sound.

DREW BALDRIDGE IS BRINGING COUNTRY MUSIC BACK TO THE FARMLAND WITH EXCLUSIVE TOUR STOPS

Following the announcement of his upcoming FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour, Drew Baldridge revealed today that he will once again bring live music directly to rural fans by giving them the chance to win free private concerts on their own farms. Fans can enter HERE. 

Baldridge first launched the idea during the height of the pandemic in 2020 and 2021, when he began performing intimate backyard concerts for fans across the country, ultimately playing more than 400 shows. What started as a handful of performances quickly grew into a grassroots movement that helped define a new chapter of his career.

“A few years ago, I posted on social media asking if anyone wanted me to come play in their backyard,” said Baldridge. “Over the span of three years, I received more than 20,000 messages. I only intended to do a few shows, but it grew beyond my wildest dreams. I miss those personal, intimate performances, so being able to give back to the fans who supported me during that time is something I can’t wait to do. We want to visit farms and small towns that may not regularly get concerts at theaters, amphitheaters, or arenas — people who grew up in communities just like I did.”

The tour will feature songs including his current radio single, “Rebel,” which continues climbing the charts following his Top 10 hit “Tough People” and history-making No. 1 single “She's Somebody's Daughter.” Baldridge also recently released his new song, “Love Needs You,” written alongside Josh Thompson and Matt Dragstrem. Inspired by memories of his early relationship with his wife Katie in his hometown of Patoka, Illinois, population 550, the song reflects on the simple moments that helped shape their life together as parents of two young boys. Get it HERE.

These select farm concerts will be woven into his headlining FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour, with tickets available now at DrewBaldridgeMusic.com. 

The 14-date headline run kicks off June 11 in Omaha, Nebraska, and wraps October 18 in Newport Beach, California. Support will come from Alyssa Flaherty and Chase Wright on select dates.

FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour dates:

June 11 — Omaha, NE — Barnato ^
July 9 — Cincinnati, OH — Ludlow Garage *
July 19 — Newberry, SC — Newberry Opera House *
July 23 — El Dorado, AR — Murphy Arts District *
July 24 — Houston, TX — Heights Theatre *

September 24 — Greensboro, NC — The Pyrle * 
October 9 — Little Rock, AR — Stickyz ^ 
October 18 — Newport Beach, CA — VEA Hotel ^ 
^ Alyssa Flaherty 
* Chase Right

With more momentum than ever, fans can catch Drew Baldridge on the road this year not only on his FARM FAITH FAMILY Tour, but also on select dates supporting Luke Bryan and Cody Johnson, in addition to appearances at fairs and festivals nationwide.

He will also bring the spirit of FARM FAITH FAMILY back home to Patoka on September 19 for the fourth annual The BIG Baldridge and Bonfire. The one-day country music festival celebrates his grassroots Baldridge and Bonfires Tour. First launched in 2022 with three consecutive nights, the event returns in 2026 following a one-year hiatus. Adam Sanders is the first artist announced alongside Baldridge, with additional performers to be revealed soon. Get tickets HERE.
