LUNA KILLS Unveil "LOWER" Video

Following the release of their album DEATHMATCH last year, Finnish alternative metal powerhouse LUNA KILLS are already charging forward with a brand new single titled "LOWER" via Sharptone Records.

Speaking about the single, the band shares, "The lyrics of the song are about dealing with the feeling that you don't belong anywhere. You feel the weight of not fitting into the expectations that society or others have placed upon you, or even the expectations you have for yourself. It makes you question your reality, and at the same time, you slowly begin to feel like you'e fading away piece by piece and turning into someone you don't recognize. The song carries a theme — both in lyrics and music — about the contrast between the softness of accepting yourself and the world you have built around yourself and the crushing weight of a never leaving dread whispering whether you made the right choices."

Following the explosive momentum of DEATHMATCH and standout tracks including "WAVES," "LEECH," "sugar rush,""slay ur enemies"  and "love u," the band continues to evolve an unmistakable blend of crushing heaviness, modern production, and emotionally charged songwriting.

LUNA KILLS have added new dates to their 2026 tour schedule, featuring major festival appearances and headline shows across Europe, as well as select support slots for Future Palace and Vianova. View tour dates here.

Gunshine Releases New Single "My Oh Miley" Ahead of Upcoming Album Grand Rising

Florida rock band Gunshine released their fifth track, “My Oh Miley,” offering fans a taste of their forthcoming full-length album, Grand Rising, due out digitally on July 24 through vnclm_ /  Create Music Group.

“My Oh Miley” is a hard rock track that channels high-energy riffs and infectious melodic hooks into a playful, tongue-in-cheek tribute to Miley Cyrus. Built around clever lyrical references to titles from her catalog and key moments from her public life, the song weaves those nods into an original narrative rather than simply name-dropping. The result is a driving, anthemic cut that balances grit and melody—blending distorted guitars, punchy rhythms, and a soaring chorus designed for singalongs. Equal parts homage and rock spectacle, “My Oh Miley”captures the chaos, charisma, and cultural impact of its subject while standing firmly as a hook-heavy, modern rock anthem in its own right.

The song was tracked in Las Vegas with producer/engineer Chris Collier.  Chris also mixed and mastered the track, as well as, the whole record.

The album is now available on limited edition vinyl and CD here:

While the digital release of Grand Rising arrives later this summer, fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the record. Physical copies of the album, including CD and double vinyl editions, alongside exclusive Gunshine merchandise, are available for purchase online at https://gunshine.diggers.store/ The CD and double vinyl will also be sold through the band at upcoming live shows.

"We tracked the whole record, (except "Goth Girl" and "Single Looks Good On You"), in Las Vegas with producer/mixer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake, Lynchmob).  I've been working with Chris for about 9 years now.  He's incredibly talented, has a great ear, and adds a heavy hitting production value that makes the songs sonically translate very well," says Austin Ingerman.  

Hailing from Pensacola, Florida, Gunshine have built a reputation on catchy vocal melodies, clever lyrics, blistering guitar riffs and solos, and a lethal rhythm section. Their sound blends edgy, raw Rock ’n’ Roll attitude with a melodic, Pop-forward sensibility, creating music that hits hard while remaining instantly memorable. Combined with their high-energy, commanding live performances, Gunshine continue to enthrall listeners and prove themselves a force to be reckoned with.

With Grand Rising, Gunshine raise the bar yet again in an exciting evolution of the band. The album takes listeners on a dynamic journey filled with genre-bending twists and turns, shifting moods, and unexpected vibes—all while staying true to the core elements that set Gunshine apart. Featuring 13 tracks, each single-worthy in its own right, Grand Rising is poised to become a modern-day rock classic.

MALVADA Shares New Single “Aventura Favorita” Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, women-led, talented Brazilian Rock band MALVADA are pleased to share their new single, “Aventura Favorita,” along with an official visualizer, available now via Frontiers Music Srl.

The band states:

“’Aventura Favorita’ is about finding someone who makes the world seem bigger and somehow still feels like home.”

The rising star of the Brazilian rock scene has a name: MALVADA, and they are ready to take over the world!

Watch the Official Visualizer for "Aventura Favorita" Below:

MALVADA was initially formed in March 2020, at the beginning of the pandemic. With a rock n' roll style full of personality, the band quickly attracted attention as one of the most promising acts in the Brazilian rock scene.

In January 2021, MALVADA released their first single entitled "Mais Um Gole," which gained greater prominence in the scene. Shortly afterwards, in May of the same year, it was time to release the second single, "Cada Escolha uma Renúncia," which preceded the launch of the band's debut album, 'A Noite Vai Ferver.'

In 2022 and 2023, MALVADA solidified its presence on the national rock panorama, performing more than a hundred shows in several cities in Brazil. The band had the privilege of participating in huge festivals, such as Rock in Rio, Best of Blues and Rock, Angra Fest,and Chama Rock, sharing the stage with renowned national and international rock names, like Pitty, Ira!, Angra, Viper, Edu Falaschi, Matanza, Golpe de Estado, Extreme, and Tom Morello.

In November 2023, MALVADA, composed of Indira Castillo, Bruna Tsuruda, Rafaela Reoliand Juliana Salgado surprised with a big announcement: the band has become the newest signee of the prestigious Italian label Frontiers Records, which has renowned bands in its catalog such as Mr. Big, Asia, Whitesnake, Jeff Scott Soto, among others, promising to take them to a new level, with opportunities to expand their reach and conquer the global market.

Their latest self-titled album, released last June and produced by the Brazilian Grammy-award-winning producer Giu Daga, delivers a powerful and exciting musical experience, featuring tracks in both English and Portuguese, setting the bar for the band to conquer a global audience.

MALVADA recently toured Europe with Michael Schenker, wrapping the tour up last month, and is set to play again at Rock in Rio in September, along with Bring Me The Horizon, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Omens, and Poppy.

Alternative Metal Trailblazers COLEPITZ Return with "End of Everything" + Lyric Video Premiere on The PRP

After a 17 year hiatus, COLEPITZ return with their brand new single, "End of Everything." Driven by founding members Rob Korhonen and Ray Suhy, the band is now rounded out by Shane Kinney, an early collaborator from the origins of COLEPITZ.

"End of Everything" was built in collaboration with Grammy award winning singer and songwriter Dave Gutter and mixed by renowned producer Sky Van Hoff (Sleep Token). The new track arrives alongside a lyric video premiering on The PRP, available to view below.

Vocalist Rob Korhonen shares:

"'End of Everything' is our first new drop in 17 years. Nobody gets eased in. The song is a list of things already lost — the prayer, the dog at the gates, the child, the king, the god.”

Check Out the Lyric Video Premiere for "End of Everything" below:

COLEPITZ started in Biddeford, Maine, a beat-up mill town. Birmingham had Sabbath. Biddeford had this.

They tore through the Portland scene in less than a year, leading Wonderdrug Records out of Boston to sign them. The band released its self-titled debut in 1999. Touring behind the record, they played hundreds of shows, crossing the country in a van with Chimaira and sharing stages with Glassjaw, Candiria, Shadows Fall, and Unearth. One song, "Puppet," ended up in an episode of Supernatural, introducing the band to a whole new audience.

Then they stopped.

In 2008, original members Ray Suhy and Rob Korhonen rekindled their friendship, seven years after the band dissolved. They started writing again. 'No Tomorrow Tonight' came out of it, self-released, expansive, ambitious. The two of them were a creative force again.

Life moved on. Rob had two boys and wanted them to have what he did not. They did. Raywent on to join East of the Wall, then Cannabis Corpse, then Six Feet Under. He also released jazz quartet records on Sunnyside. Shane built a booming drum shop and business.

Now, the band returns swinging like they never left with their brand new single, "End of Everything."

This is not a reunion. It is a continuation. The reaper takes his time.

Metalcore Band Provenance Release New Single + Music Video "Broken Bonds" via Arson Theory

Massachusetts metalcore band Provenance have released their powerful new single, "Broken Bonds," alongside an accompanying music video that brings the song's themes of betrayal, abandonment, and emotional turmoil to life.

Released via Arson Theory, the four-piece metalcore band from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, formed in 2025 and has quickly begun carving out its place in the modern heavy music scene with an aggressive sound.

At the heart of "Broken Bonds" is a deeply personal message about being left behind when support is needed most. The song's emotional centerpiece arrives in the lyric, "You watched the whole world fall around me," which perfectly captures the song's central theme of feeling abandoned by someone who was expected to stand by your side.

"'You watched the whole world fall around me' heavily reinforces the overall feeling of this song and what it's about being let down and abandoned by someone you counted on for support," says the band.

With "Broken Bonds," Provenance continue to establish themselves as a promising new voice in the metalcore scene, delivering music that resonates with listeners facing their own struggles with loss, disappointment, and fractured relationships.

Merrimack Cover Depeche Mode’s “Wrong”

Veteran French black metal band Merrimack are releasing a cover of “Wrong” by Depeche Mode. Originally appearing on the UK synth-pop band’s 2009 album Sounds of the Universe, “Wrong” reached the Top 10 in nine countries and peaked at Number #1 on the U.S. Billboard Dance Club Songs chart. While faithful to the original, Merrimack’s cover is black metal in every breath.

Listen to “Wrong” Below:

https://orcd.co/merrimackwrong

Merrimack’s latest album, Of Grace and Gravity, is available now on Season of Mist.

Order

https://redirect.season-of-mist.com/MerrimackGraceGravity

Merrimack’s cover of “Wrong” is rooted in long-standing devotion. Guitarist, Perversifier, who proposed the cover to his bandmates,describes Depeche Mode as having "only grown better over the years". He singles out "Wrong" for "already carrying more darkness than even Black Metal rarely reaches."

Merrimack recorded their cover of “Wrong” during the sessions for  their 2012 album The Acausal Mass. The cover was shelved for more than a decade before the band returned to record vocals. Perversifier says their cover "highlights just how dark the original song already is". They preserved all the notes from the original, only bringing "the level of violence that Black Metal can bring”. Where Depeche Mode channel obsessive self-negation through cold synth-pop, Merrimack strip away any distance the original might have offered.

Although MERRIMACK decided to reach out to a larger audience with the release of their first full-length 'Ashes of Purification', the Parisians did not sever their roots with the underground at any time. With the following albums, 'Of Entropy and Life Denial' (2006) and 'Grey Rigorism' (2009), MERRIMACK closed ranks with the most influential, active, and authentic acts of the French black metal scene. Their classic combination of harsh sound with epic structures appealed to critics and fans alike and put the band on their celebrated first US tour with MARDUK and NACHTMYSTIUM in 2009.

After recording 'The Acausal Mass' (2012) in the legendary Necromorbus Studio (WATAIN, DESTRÖYER 666) again, MERRIMACK embarked on a European tour with Norwegian icons MAYHEM and accepted invitations to prestigious festivals such as Hellfest in their native France, Germany's Party-San Open Air and Summer Breeze as well as Montreal's Messe des Morts in Canada. With their latest album, 'Omegaphilia', MERRIMACK were breathing fresh life into an exhausted genre. While ignoring epithets such as progressive, post-, and avant-garde, the French focused on razor-sharp songwriting, captivating melodies, and close to perfect arrangements.

ABOUT GUILT TRIP:
Historically, Manchester, UK breeds a certain toughness. As a pillar of the 19th century Industrial Revolution in Northern England, factories and warehouses line much of the city's rain-baptized topography. A hardworking lot who shoot straight without apology, its denizens traditionally take an incredible amount of pride in where they come from. Embodying the grit and gusto of Manchester, UK, Guilt Trip bring a blast of homegrown intensity to their hybrid of hardcore and metal. The five piece slide striking melodies in between throat-slitting thrashy riffs and earth-splitting breakdowns. Guilt Trip started to forge a seething signature style without comparison back in 2015. They dropped the Unrelenting Force EP [2016] followed by River of Lies [2019]. The latter spawned "Thin Ice," which reeled in 7.1 million Spotify streams and counting. 2023's Severance marked a turning point. It boasted popular collaborations with LANDMVRKS and Malevolence. KERRANG!hailed their "unique brand of hardcore that sees them delve into elements of thrash, old-school hardcore and fist-pumping metal." Beyond sharing the stage with everyone from Sylosis to While She Sleeps, they lit up festivals, including Download and Hellfest. Attracting Roadrunner Records to their corner, the musicians decamped to StudioOWZ in Clarbeston Wales with producer and engineer Adam "Nolly" Getgood [Periphery] during early 2025 to record their debut LP for Roadrunner Records, Armour Of Angels. They bulldozed the way for the release with the God Forgives EP, which incited the applause of Rock Sound, BLUNT, and CLASH. With Armour Of Angels, they're primed to make Manchester proud as they make a lasting imprint on heavy music.

Modern Metal Supergroup CYHRA Release New Album Requiem For A Pipe Dream And Unveil "Venom In Me" Guitar Playthrough

Swedish melodic metal supergroup CYHRA (Featuring AMARANTHE Co-Founder Jake E and current THE HALO EFFECT, KAMELOT, THE CROWN, and SUBURBAN TRIBE members) celebrates their 10th anniversary year with their fourth studio album Requiem For A Pipe Dream, released via Reigning Phoenix Music. Alongside the arrival of the full-length, CYHRA present the high-powered track "Venom In Me".

"'Venom In Me' isn’t just about a person — it’s about anything that slowly poisons you while you’re trying to survive. It could be a relationship, a memory, an addiction, or even your own inner voice. It’s that force that keeps pulling you back into patterns you know aren’t healthy, but feel impossible to escape.

The song explores how some things don’t just hurt you — they embed themselves in you. They shape your reactions, your trust, your sense of self. And over time, you realize the real battle isn’t against something outside… it’s against what it left behind in you.

'Venom In Me' is about recognizing that poison — and deciding whether you’re going to let it define you, or cut it out for good."

About CYHRA
As they approach their 10th anniversary next year, CYHRA have carved out a notable place in the metal scene since their founding in 2016 by Jake E (AMARANTHE Co-Founder) and Jesper Strömblad (THE HALO EFFECT, formerly IN FLAMES). They were soon joined by drummer Alex Landenburg (KAMELOT, Luca Turilli’s RHAPSODY), guitarist Euge Valovirta (SUBURBAN TRIBE), and bassist Peter Iwers (THE HALO EFFECT, formerly IN FLAMES). Their debut album Letters To Myself was released in 2017 to glowing reviews, catapulting the group to global stages, crowned with a massive North American tour supporting SABATON and KREATOR.
 
Following Iwers’ departure, Valovirta also took over bass duties, and the band released their second album No Halos In Hell in 2019, which blended groovy metal with a poppy flair and featured the hit single "Out Of My Life," amassing about 11 million streams on Spotify. Their success continued with a European tour with BATTLE BEAST, UK dates alongside DELAIN, headline shows in select countries including Finland and Japan, and performances at major festivals like Masters of Rock, Bloodstock Open Air, Sabaton Open Air, and 70,000 Tons of Metal.
 
In 2020, guitarist Marcus Sunesson (RONNIE ATKINS, THE CROWN) joined, expanding the line-up. The pandemic pause allowed the band to craft their third album The Vertigo Trigger, released in 2023. The album’s tour brought them back to Finland to open for SMASH INTO PIECES and to headline shows in early 2024. CYHRA ended the cycle with a Scandinavian tour with EVERGREY, and leading into 2025 and through to 2026 the band began to introduce the new album with a series of single releases. Requiem For A Pipe Dream is out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.

APOSTLE Release New Album A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon Alongside New Music Video for "Exiting The God Hologram"

Metal trio APOSTLE have released their dynamic and emotionally charged new full-length album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, out via Terminus Hate City. Alongside the album’s arrival, the band have also unveiled a new music video for the opening track, "Exiting The God Hologram".

"Exiting The God Hologram" introduces A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon with the approaching rumble of a train passing by at night, a sample recorded from vocalist and guitarist Murice White’s apartment. The track explores the idea that there is no singular “correct” way to experience or move through life. Its lyrics conjure striking imagery of a blood-filled sea splitting in half to reveal two paths, each offering only one view of reality, of “truth.” Musically, the song moves through a progression of sonic heaviness, emotive passages, and expansive textures that set the tone for the record’s deeply introspective journey.

Across six tracks and 27 minutes, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon finds APOSTLE moving through themes of grief, mortality, internal conflict, oppression, intuition, and eventual healing. The album’s title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, loss, and self-examination.

From the personal weight of "Illusion of Loss" to the urgent anger of "Swine", the fractured realities of "Distortions of Light", the instinctual force of "Oscillating Polarities", and the vulnerable, bittersweet closing passage of "At Ease", A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE at their most refined, expansive, and emotionally resonant.

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

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

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

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

The songs move effortlessly between hard-hitting rock anthems and more reflective, dynamic moments, showcasing NICHOLS’ ability to fuse classic influences with a contemporary edge. Tracks like “Bending or Breaking” and “Killing Time” expand the sonic palette with subtle keyboards and cinematic string arrangements, adding depth without ever sacrificing power.

I am honored they decided to release my story."

VOÏVOD Releases New Live Album ‘Symphonique’ Featuring the Quebec Symphony Orchestra Out Now via Century Media Records

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, out now 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.

Today, a next appetizer for ‘Symphonique’ can now be seen in a visualizer created by Luc Leclerc / Above The Void, featuring background animation by Sébastien Fournier / Cirkus Animation for the song “The Unknown Knows (Symphonique),” available below. 

The previously launched 'Symphonique' live-songs can still be viewed here:

Watch “The End Of Dormancy (Symphonique)” 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!”

'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.

Pop-Rockers AS IT IS Release New Single "Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles" + Official Music Video

Transatlantic pop-rock quartet, AS IT IS release “Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles,”the latest single from their forthcoming self-titled album, out on July 17th via FLG. A bombastic blast of E-Street band inspired Americana, which sets politicized, dark social commentary in stark contrast with rousing saxophone hooks and driving grooves.

Speaking of the track, the band shares:

“We weren't planning on releasing another single before the album. In fact, this song wasn't even on the original tracklisting. But, during album tracking in January 2026, the news and our social feeds were flooded by the ICE raids across the USA. Multiple murders by ICE agents in Patty's home state of Minnesota, and almost one mass shooting per day. We watched the USA descend into violence whilst the 'Rich Televangelist' at the top stoked the fires further. The song was about Patty's relationship with America and being an American in the current political climate, but with that added real-world context, it suddenly became even more urgent and essential, not only to the album but to the album campaign. As tensions continue to rise and the global resurgence of the far right continues, we felt that this song, its message, and the video deserved their moment to be seen, heard, and felt. Fu*k Fascism."

Watch the Official Video for "Live, Laugh, Love, Los Angeles" Below:

To create art for art’s sake is as pure an intention as a band can have. Writing a song that may never even see the light of day, but speaks to the very reason that you want to create in the first place. Putting joy, connection and fulfilment above anything else, and reaping the rewards that come from pushing such human endeavors. It’s a noble and selfless position to place yourself in, one that sits at the very root of why we all fall in love with music in the first place.

For AS IT IS, it was an absolute necessity to do things like this.

It is everything that AS IT IS was, is, and will be, and it means the absolute world to them.

“You can never manufacture genuine connection with people,” Ben remarks. “Just find what is honest to you and honest to your journey, and that’s all any artist has to offer to the world. This is our reality, and reality is looking a bit more positive these days. We’re a band known for four quite depressing albums. But days fluctuate, and things change. That’s mental health. But to be able to look at everything with a different and more positive outlook on the future is all that we wanted to say.”

“This is the spirit and intention of the joy that formed AS IT IS in the first place,” Patty adds. “It is reconnecting with the kids that we were when we started to write songs. And now, we’re showing up with life in our eyes. We can listen to and support each other. This is the most in control and confident the band has been in a long time, but also the most proud. In the past, I had no choice but to be in AS IT IS. This new era of the band is my choice. Our choice. A choice. But in having it back, it means having maybe the biggest piece of myself back, too.”

Scarlett O'Hara Release "Common Side Effects" Video

They say everything is bigger in the Lone Star State, and that is undoubtedly the case for South Texas metalcore outlaws Scarlett O'Hara.

The band has stormed into 2026 with a pair of vicious singles: "REDRUM" and "BREAK ME."

They drop another larger than life track and video in the form of "COMMON SIDE EFFECTS," a glitchy rager packed with potent, industrial-influenced grooves and crunchy riffs. Watch the video below.

"'COMMON SIDE EFFECTS' is a heavier, faster track than both 'REDRUM' and 'BREAK ME,' leaning more into a cyberpunk-industrial metal atmosphere than ever before," says singer Logan Burns. "We wanted the track to be a solid blend of both heavy and electronic elements, exploring different facets of the industrial sound while still maintaining the signature Scarlett O'Hara DNA."

Mission accomplished.

The band's heavy fusion of electronics, powerful riffs, and polished vocals, has solidified regular placement on the Billboard charts for three consecutive releases, rotation on Sirius XM Octane, and a lineup spot at Welcome To Rockville (2021 and 2022), Louder Than Life, and Inkcarceration. They've teamed up with Grammy-nominated producers and spared no expense to conjure up an unrelenting discography for metalheads to relish.

Scarlett O'Hara have shared the stage with some of the biggest acts in the genre such as Bring Me The Horizon, The Devil Wears Prada, Asking Alexandria, Underoath, Motionless In White, and many more. Formed in 2008, Scarlett O'Hara have been a mainstay in the metalcore community ever since.

Stay tuned for more from Scarlett O'Hara. 2026 has been and shall remain a busy year for the band.

UltraViolent Drop "Eyes of God" Video

Born out of Pennsylvania's renowned heavy metal scene, UltraViolent is the brainchild of vocalist Brett Anspach (Galactic Empire, Monument Of A Memory) and bassist/vocalist Avery LeVan.

They have just dropped the video for corrossive new single "Eyes of God." Watch it Below. 

"'Eyes of God' is one of the first songs this current lineup has written," says Anspach. "We're moving past an old era and revamping the definition of UltraViolent. The song comes from a place of anger towards the reverence of a deity who allows corruption and blind faith to dictate the world's decisions and foster immorality. The song’s punishing energy leads to a climatic final act that treats seeing the eyes of god not as salvation, but as a final confrontation. I truly feel this song is just the start of something special for this band."

Since 2024, the band has been refining their signature blend of thunderous riffs, dynamic vocals, and unrelenting energy. In 2024, the band released two powerful singles, culminating in their explosive self-produced EP, AFTERMATH. The band's momentum carried into 2025, where UltraViolent was honored to perform on behalf of August Burns Red during their induction into the Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame — and was voted "Best Metal Band" by the Hall of Fame committee that same year.

Charging into 2026, UltraViolent, who have performed with All That Rmains, Gideon, If Not For Me, Polaris, Silnt Planet, Varials, and more, show no signs of slowing down. With the SUPERMASSIVE" already released, the band is following up with "EYES OF GOD," the first single from their upcoming project NOTHING IS WORTH BELIEVING — a bold step forward in their uncompromising evolution.

ULTRAVIOLENT ARE:
Brett Anspach — Vocals 
Avery LeVan — Bass/Vocals
 Danny Koury — Guitar
 Bryce Delp — Guitar
Kevin Abt — Drums

Sage Drop "Lost" Video

SAGE are an East Coast rock band hailing from the extremely fertile musical grounds of New Jersey. Founded in 2023, the band consists of accomplished musicians — vocalist Mike Rafter, vocalist and guitarist James Benedetto, guitarist Chris Coletti, and drummer Nick Perrone. Connecting on a shared passion for timeless rock with a more modern energy, the four piece quickly forged a sound that feels both nostalgic and new.

They share the video for new single "LOST."

Watch it below.

"'LOST' is about being stuck in something you feel too deeply to walk away from, even when you know you probably should," says Rafter. "It's that kind of connection where every goodbye feels temporary, and every moment apart just pulls you back in harder. It lives in that tension between letting go and not knowing who you are without that person. We're really proud of this one, and we hope it resonates with anyone who’s ever felt caught in a cycle.” 

The song is hooky AF and boasts a brutal (and somewhat unexpected) breakdown mid-song that will incite furious moshpits.

In 2024, SAGE released their debut EP, Heartwired, marking a major milestone in the band's journey. The project showed off the band's natural talent in songwriting, helping to expand their audience and build momentum throughout the scene. The EP introduced listeners to their unique blend of heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and heartfelt lyrics, proving that they are a band on the rise.

Looking to spread positivity and good vibes through their music, SAGE aim to remind the world of the healing power of music and the importance of self expression. With high energy live performances and a genuine connection to their fans, the band continues to grow, evolve, and make their mark.

"LOST" follows "DEEP END," their debut single for new label The Artery Foundation

ALISON NICHOLS STRIPS IT BACK ON "DRESSIN' DOWN" – OUT NOW

Alison Nichols pulls back the curtain for something personal on her new release, “Dressin’ Down,” out now via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Written by Nichols with Sherrie Austin, Will Rambeaux and Brenna Bone, and produced by Rambeaux and Ilya Toshinskiy, the track blends modern wit, lived-in country warmth and romantic honesty into a song about choosing real connection over a world built for show. Listen HERE.

Smart, self-aware and instantly relatable, “Dressin’ Down” centers on a simple truth: sometimes the best version of yourself is not the one dressed for everybody else. Across the song, Nichols swaps red dresses, high heels and uptown energy for vinyl records, old t-shirts and being fully seen by someone who knows the real her.

“Sometimes I just feel like throwing my cell phone out the window. Sometimes it feels like our digital devices are stealing our lives. I’d rather be home with someone I love watching reruns of Schitt's Creek than out on the town filming ourselves pretending to have a good time. This song, ‘Dressin' Down,’ is my way of honoring comfortable t-shirts, vinyl records and someone who loves me for me,” says Nichols.

Watch the official "Dressin' Down" music video below:

Sonically, the track wraps that message in a dreamy, romantic atmosphere. Finger-picked acoustic guitar leads the way while chiming steel, fiddle touches, and warm keys add texture and movement, creating a rich, cinematic sound that feels both timeless and current. The result balances humor, heart and undeniable chemistry throughout.

Following the carefree spirit of “Box Wine Problems,” Nichols reveals another layer of her artistry on “Dressin’ Down,” proving she can deliver personality and depth in equal measure while turning everyday moments into something memorable.

Kami Kehoe Embraces Sexuality & Desire In X-Rated New Video "DIRTY" During Pride Month

Alt-rock star on the rise, Kami Kehoe, embraces her darkest impulses on sultry new single, "DIRTY", out now via Atlantic Records. A seductive pivot from the unraveling spiral of "PSYCHO", "DIRTY" leans into a raw, sensual reckoning with sexuality and desire. Watch the new video for "DIRTY" Below.

Amplifying the dark allure behind "DIRTY", the music video finds a dimly lit Kami Kehoe, surrounded by women whose hypnotic movements and intimate touch blur the line between seduction and control. The visuals simmer with a dangerous, magnetic tension, culminating into a striking final moment as the darkness overtakes Kami Kehoe in an unsettling yet sensual embodiment of indulgence pushed to its edge.

Hot on the heels of her latest single "PSYCHO", smash hits "DOPAMINE" and "FADE OUT,", and a nationwide tour supporting Daughtry, Seether, and POD (which saw her regularly invited to join them on stage), Kami continues to cement her place as one of the genre's most magnetic rising voices. Named as one of Pandora's Artists to Watch in 2026 (The Pandora Ten) and continuing to rack up spins on Sirius XM's Octane, Kami is set to take on some of the country's biggest stages this fall as support for Breaking Benjamin.

Consider "DIRTY" Kami Kehoe's gift to the girls during Pride Month as she shares:

“I know you guys like it DIRTY...

Happy Pride Month, this one's for you.”

With signature gritty guitars, atmospheric production, and Kami's evocative vocals, her smash hit, "FADE OUT" closed out 2025 as one of her most emotionally charged releases to date. The track capped off her "KANDY" EP era that documented the full arc of heartbreak and healing, garnering millions of streams, 100 million views in short form content, and viral popularity worldwide. Her hit single, "DOPAMINE", earned over 30 million streams and hit #11 on Sirius XM Octane's "Big Uns" Countdown, spotlighting her growth in the modern rock landscape.

Carving out her own space in the alt-rock world, Kami Kehoe has impressively amassed over 105 million streams and more than 2 million social media followers by blending a sultry, velvety vocal with a hard-charged rock energy. Since breaking out with the viral hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD”, she has continued to evolve her sound—infusing shoegaze, metal, and hip-hop influences into her music while remaining unapologetically authentic.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Kami Kehoe news coming very soon.

Adding to an already landmark year, Kami will be joining rock's most established names at Rock Fest (WI) in July before embarking on a run alongside Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, and Starsetfor a nationwide tour this fall, hitting Louisville's iconic Louder Than Life Festival along the way.

ABOUT KAMI KEHOE

KAMI KEHOE has never been one to wait for permission. At just 22, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and drummer has blazed a fearless musical path, most recently with her latest EP, “Kandy”, out now via Atlantic Records, Coup D’Etat Recordings, and 10K Projects. Since emerging, she’s spun a chameleonic, hard-charged rock sound into over a million Instagram followers, 10 million TikTok likes, and over 75 million streams in 2025 alone.

Unapologetic authenticity propelled her breakout hit “SLEEP WHEN I’M DEAD,” from her 2024 album REVIVED (Coup D'état/10K Projects), to audiences around the world in stratospheric fashion. Almost overnight, the garage-punk suckerpunch – the snarl of Joan Jett with the timeless melodicism of the Ramones – ripped through social media at lightning speed, netting Kami 100,000 new TikTok followers a day and further cementing her as a rising force in the underground. 

Diving headfirst into the emotional rollercoaster of heartbreak, obsession, and self-discovery, her latest EP, “Kandy” blends dark melodic rock with pop, metal, and metaphor-rich songwriting. Using candy and drugs as symbols for dangerous pleasures, each of the five tracks explore the tangled interplay between allure and risk, offering a bittersweet reflection on the complexities of desire and the consequences that follow. It’s another bold step forward for Kami as she continues to kick down the guardrails of her sound, another entry in her omnipresent push to rewrite what’s possible for her musical future. 

After making waves with a standout performance at Warped Tour and playing her very first headlining show, Kami has just wrapped her largest tour yet, joining forces with industry legends, Daughtry, Seether, and P.O.D. She’ll continue to evolve as an artist with the same freedom and fearlessness that’s led her here, another chapter in a career that’s continually defied expectations – not that she’s ever really cared about those in the first place.
