GREEN LUNG - reveal new track/video 'Necropolitan Line'

Albion's masters of folklore, riffs and legends return with another slab of tomb-shaking, crypt-kicking occult rock. Green Lung have revealed their latest track, 'Necropolitan Line', a Motorhead-meets-Deep Purple subterranean rampage across London's infamous Necropolis Railway.

'Necropolitan Line' is taken from Green Lung's forthcoming new record, Necropolitan, due out on Friday September 11th 2026. A monumental portrait of the power of nature over the dreams and dominion of humankind, Necropolitan is also a grand celebration of the occult lore and heavy music scene of the band’s birthplace, the city of London.

Green Lung stated:
"Is there a more fitting subject for a Green Lung song than the Necropolis Railway, a real-life train line that carried corpses and mourners across London in the late 19th Century? Mix in some inspiration from 1972's London Underground-set shocker Death Line, a madcap neoclassical organ/guitar duel that evokes Richie Blackmore and Jon Lord at their finger blistering best, and a record Lung BPM of 180, and you have the second single from our fourth album. We can't wait to play this one live for the first time at the Acid Bath show in Manchester on Thursday. Mind the doors!"

The video, directed by Tracy Mathewson and featuring animation from Joseph Brett, is a tribute to the early 70s German TV show Beat Club, which featured Lung antecedents such as Sabbath, Purple and Lucifer's Friend. Featuring an introduction from longtime roadie Metal Joe, we enter the band's own warped version of the show, titled Crypt Club. Will future episodes follow? Only time will tell...

A cult band in every sense of the word, Green Lung emerged from London’s heavy rock scene with self-released debut EP Free the Witch (2018).

Drawing on a host of peculiarly British musical influences, from doomy hard rock to pastoral prog and psych to the Hammer Horror theatrics of the NWOBHM, the band have swiftly risen to the forefront of the UK metal scene.

Lyrically celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of Britain, they conjure the wild and witchy spirit of their forebears for a new generation.

Green Lung have released three critically acclaimed albums, Woodland Rites (2019), Black Harvest (2021) and This Heathen Land (2023). They have toured internationally with Clutch, Opeth and Unto Others, and performed on festival stages from Roadburn to Download. Their latest album This Heathen Land landed at #1 on the UK’s Official Rock and Metal Album Chart.

AMBERIAN DAWN Share "Moon" Video — WATCH + LISTEN

FIRST ALBUM WITH NEW SINGER NICOLE WILLERTON, TEMPTATION'S GATES, RELEASES JUNE 26 VIA NAPALM RECORDS — PRE-ORDER

Finnish symphonic metal band AMBERIAN DAWN push into their new era with an invocation to the "Moon." The fourth single off of their upcoming album, Temptation's Gates, shows yet another facet of their fresh sound, turning up the speed to blast beat intensity. Still, "Moon," which features prominent keyboard and guitar solos, remains magical up until its unexpected end. The final screams show the change the band is making with their new singer, Nicole Willerton—AMBERIAN DAWN are more determined than ever. The accompanying album, Temptation's Gates, will be out this coming Friday, June 26 —make sure to get your copy of their first step into the new era! Additionally, the band will play a record release show in Helsinki on June 28 at the official afterparty of Tuska Festival.

Tuomas Seppälä about "Moon":
"I composed this song just a few weeks after we had recruited our new vocalist. From the very beginning, it carried an exceptionally dark and haunting atmosphere, and I wanted to preserve that exact feeling throughout the entire process. For the first time in my career, I decided to introduce growling vocals into the arrangement. It felt completely natural in this song, and I knew Nicole could deliver it with the right intensity and emotion. It had been a long time since I last recorded a guitar solo myself, and stepping back into that role made the experience even more personal. This track captures a darker and more haunting side of our new era."

Nicole Willerton about "Moon":
"The song "Moon" is about finding hope, tranquility, and inner peace in a world filled with destruction, greed, and suffering. The moon serves as a guiding light and a symbol of beauty, reminding us that even when life feels overwhelming or full of misery, it's important to cherish the simple beauties of life, such as nature and the freedom of the spirit."

Rising from the home of symphonic metal are AMBERIAN DAWN: The Finnish five-piece is set to open Temptation's Gates, their new album, out on June 26 via Napalm Records. The band's first release with new singer Nicole Willerton takes them onto a more modern, occasionally even surprisingly rough path. With it, AMBERIAN DAWN, led by founder, guitarist, and main composer Tuomas Seppälä, slowly emancipate themselves from being "just" the band who—gloriously!—covered Swedish pop legends ABBA with their previous album, Take a Chance — A Metal Tribute to ABBA (2022).

Infusing their epic keyboard sounds with guitar-driven melodic metal, AMBERIAN DAWN reach into a world unknown and prove their versatility while their catchy anthems remain strong and charming as ever. Temptation's Gates has the band determined for a future sparkling temptingly bright — and they're ready to step through that gate.

Tuomas Seppälä about Temptation's Gates:
"When I started working with our new singer, I felt the same kind of excitement I had years ago when I began creating our debut album back in 2007 and 2008. At that time, AMBERIAN DAWN were still newcomers to the band world, even though we were already experienced musicians. With Temptation's Gates, I felt that same spark of creating something new for the first time in a long while. I hadn't composed many songs yet when I began collaborating with our new vocalist. Most of the material came together surprisingly fast once I realized how easy and natural it was to work with her. I was deeply inspired by Nicole's enthusiasm, dedication, and efficiency. I truly feel that the band has been reborn with her joining us. Musically, our style has evolved once again, perhaps moving slightly back toward a heavier, more metal-driven direction. At the same time, elements of our classic sound and identity are naturally still present. In many ways, creating this album felt like going back to my roots. For the first time in a long while, I also took on a bigger role as a guitarist. I focused more on crafting guitar riffs, played roughly half of the guitar leads on the album, and even performed one full guitar solo myself."

Nicole Willerton about Temptation's Gates:
"Temptation's Gates is the first album I've sung on and recorded with AMBERIAN DAWN, and it has been a beautiful experience. While writing the lyrics, each song was inspired by feelings, memories, and moments that were especially prominent during the creation of the album. Writing the lyrics felt like diving into the subconscious, bringing these emotions to the surface. It was wonderful to explore the creative process of arranging the backing vocals. I especially love how AMBERIAN DAWN's music makes strong use of backing vocals, helping to create a fuller, richer sound around the lead vocals. It's definitely a fiery album that combines a broad spectrum of emotional depths, ranging from love and melancholy to darker elements such as fear and inner struggles. A recurring message throughout the album is to embrace one’s true desires and to accept and acknowledge one’s honest feelings."

California dreampop outfit Soft Science return with 'Spinning', heralding novel 'Sand' album

Sacramento-based outfit Soft Science presents 'Spinning', a propulsive and emotionally charged track and the first offering from their fifth album 'Sand', scheduled for release on September 4th via Shelflife Records in North America and Spinout Nuggets in the UK. The accompanying video was created by directed and edited by Matthew Maxwell. 

Building on the band’s signature blend of dream pop, shoegaze and indie rock, ‘Spinning’ captures the dizzying frustration of being caught in an emotional loop—repeating the same conversations, hoping to be heard, and wondering if anything is finally getting through. Pairing shimmery atmosphere with a sense of restless momentum, the band manage to turn relationship fatigue into something hypnotic, melodic, and deeply relatable.

Comprised of longtime collaborators Katie Haley (lead vocals, percussion), Matt Levine(lead guitar), Ross Levine (guitar, backing vocals), Tony Cale (drums), Becky Cale (bass, backing vocals), and Hans Munz (atmospheric electronics), Soft Science crafts immersive dream pop defined by layered guitars, ethereal vocals, synth textures, and post-punk-influenced propulsion.

"Spinning is one of my favorite songs on 'Sand' - It has such strong energy. It’s the kind of song that is catchy and you can’t help moving to it, but it also has a lot of tension, which fits so well with the lyrics. Matt’s guitar work really adds to the mood and tension felt in the song," says Katie Haley.

"We had the melody and the idea of “Round and Round” and then Ross came up with the chorus lyrics “You got me spinning round, am I getting through now.” I loved it and felt inspired immediately to come up with the verses. Generally, I find ruminating on things, talking about the same issue over and over with no resolution, and prolonged indecision really irritating and I was dealing with a couple situations with these themes at that time. Once Ross set the chorus the rest of the words poured out."

With ethereal vocals, twin 12-string guitars, bass, drums, and synthesizers, the band layers luminous melodies, celestial harmonies, and propulsive rhythms into lush, transportive songs. As showcased via KEXP sessions and noted by critics, Soft Science pairs a bright melodic sensibility with a melancholy undertow, creating music that is both immediate and deeply atmospheric.

"I've always loved using straightforward driving guitars with a looping hook on the bass to create a constant sense of propulsion. On 'Spinning', I was looking for that energy. Katie's soft, flowing melody, aginst that really brought it together. The last thing we recorded was the chorus harmony she came up with - it really kicked it up a level. The missing link it needed, lifting the whole track," says Ross Levine.

Highlighting the track’s experimental approach, Matt Levine shares, "Spinning is really special.  We were talking about doing backwards guitar leads, which, in a way, seemed easy, but how do you make it feel intentional?  So I started high and descended with the general idea that I wanted the lead to do the opposite. To my amazement, the result of the first take was amazing. The next challenge was how to play a backwards lead forward live, something I've never had to work through before."

Across the ten tracks on 'Sand', Soft Science expand their sound while retaining the melodic clarity and emotional resonance that define their work. The album explores impermanence—how love, memory, and identity shift under pressure—and what it means to keep choosing connection in a world with no guarantees. Across ten tracks, the band balances shimmering atmosphere with urgency and movement, shaping one of their most immersive and emotionally direct releases to date.

Soft Science's latest album was 'Lines' (2023), preceded by 'Maps' (2018), 'Detour' (2013), and 'Highs and Lows' (2011), along with singles including a split 7” with The Luxembourg Signal (2015), and The House of Lovecover ‘I Don’t Know Why I Love You’and their rendition of Northern Picture Library's ‘Paris’ (both 2018).

Having earned critical acclaim over the years, Soft Science has done live sessions at KEXP, WFMU, and Part-Time Punks in Los Angeles, and has performed at New York Popfest, Paris Popfest, The Big Takeover’s 35th Anniversary show, Schellraiser Festival, Tremolo Fest and Dreamgaze PDX, apart from select US and European shows.

As of June 23, 'Spinning' available digitally everywhere, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The 'Sand' album will be released via Shelflife Records (US) and Spinout Nuggets (UK) - on both CD and vinyl - on September 4th.

Dogma Unleash Cinematic New Single - My Matricidal

Following a breakout year that saw DOGMA sell out every European headlining show, complete its largest Latin American tour to date, and continue its rapid international ascent, the band returns today with “My Matricidal,” the highly anticipated new single and music video. 

"My Matricidal" is a theatrical collision of aggressive guitars, ritualistic percussion, haunting cinematic soundscape, soaring vocal performances, and a relentless series of sonic blows that steadily escalate toward a towering climax. The result is a dark, emotionally charged composition that expands the band's signature blend of hard rock, metal, and provocative storytelling.

Accompanying the single is an ambitious new music video that expands the narrative introduced in “Fate Unblinds,” revealing another key piece of the puzzle while raising new questions about everything that came before.

Regarding the new release, Lilith comments, "The themes explored in ‘My Matricidal’ are not really about betrayal. They are about recognition. There comes a moment in every person's life when something they believed, trusted, or accepted can no longer withstand reality. Most people spend their energy focusing on the deception itself, but I think the more important question is what happens after the truth becomes impossible to ignore. Some people retreat into anger or denial. Others choose to learn from it and move forward with greater clarity. That moment of choice has always fascinated me because it ultimately shapes the direction of a person's life. The truth reveals itself in time. What you do with it is your responsibility. You shape your fate."

The release arrives at a pivotal moment in DOGMA's continued growth. During the first half of 2026, the band completed its largest European and Latin American touring cycle to date, performing for thousands of fans across both continents. Every European headlining show sold out, including appearances in London, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Eindhoven, Hamburg, and Munich.

The momentum continues this summer as DOGMA returns to Europe for appearances at major festivals including Copenhell, Basinfire, Tuska, Rockharz, Rock Imperium, and Resurrection Fest, alongside a special headlining performance in Istanbul.

With the release of “My Matricidal,” DOGMA maintains a single position: The truth reveals itself in time.

Upcoming festival dates:

Jun 29: Istanbul, Türkiye · Blind
Jul 2: Ballenstedt, Germany - Rockharz Festival
Jul 4: Viveiro, Spain · Resurrection Fest
Jul 5: Cartagena, Spain · El Batel Park

Blake Shelton Hits Top 30 at Country Radio with "Let Him In Anyway"

Country music superstar Blake Shelton continues to build momentum with his latest single, “Let Him In Anyway,” which has climbed into the Top 30 on Country radio and experienced a 30% increase in streaming.

Written by Michael Hardy, Zach Abend, Kyle Clark and Carson Wallace, “Let Him In Anyway” has become one of Shelton’s most personally meaningful recordings.

“If you can hear this song and it doesn’t punch you in the gut and break your heart, you probably need to be examined in other ways,” Shelton said.

“I just wanted this song to have a platform and a way to be heard. That’s what I love about our writers in Nashville and what I love about country music in general. Great songs come out of this town every day, and every now and then you're lucky enough to get your hands on one. I think this is one of those songs.”

The song's impact extends beyond radio, with fans quickly connecting with the official music video, further fueling the track's growing success across streaming and digital platforms. The music video is available below.

The song's momentum comes on the heels of Shelton's performance at CMA Fest earlier this month. Fans who weren't able to attend the Nashville event can catch the performance when “CMA Fest presented by SoFi” airs Thursday, June 25, at 8/7c on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu.

“I love coming to CMA Fest and everything I get to do here, but the stadium show is the centerpiece of it all,” Shelton said. “My first appearance at CMA Fest was in 2001, and 25 years later I'm still getting invited back. I know how lucky I am and how rare that is, so I'm taking it all in and enjoying every minute.”

Hosted by Riley Green and Good Morning America co-anchor Lara Spencer, “CMA Fest presented by SoFi” is a three-hour television event featuring unforgettable performances, special collaborations and standout moments captured during the 2026 CMA Fest in Nashville, giving fans front-row access to one of Country Music's most star-studded weekends.

ETERNAL RECURRENCE Unleash New EP Eternal Recurrence, Release Music Video For "Precious Stones"

ETERNAL RECURRENCE presents the debut self titled EP, Eternal Recurrence. Led by composer and multi-instrumentalist C. Alex Luke, ETERNAL RECURRENCE embraces the symphonic metal genre from an alternative perspective with orchestral arrangements drawn from chamber music. The new EP release arrives alongside a music video for the track "Precious Stones". 

The creative process behind “Precious Stones” differs from the rest of the track list on Eternal Recurrence as it was the first song written for the EP dating back to the COVID pandemic. Initially composed as a straightforward metal track with no symphonic elements, “Precious Stones” was subsequently reworked to incorporate the chamber music arrangement and adhere to the new creative direction for ETERNAL RECURRENCE. 

"Precious Stones" features two guest vocalists. Mordian of DIAMORTE and SHIELD OF WINGS delivers a powerful alto performance during the chorus and bridge, while James Dorton of BLACK CROWN INITIATE, DIAMORTE and NE OBLIVISCARIS contributes harsh vocals to the heavier sections of the song.

Furthermore, “Precious Stones” is the only song on the EP not written by C. Alex Luke. The lyrics were written by Jake Thiele, Luke’s former bandmate from UNTIL EXTINCTION. On the lyrical theme Thiele shares, "In short, ‘Precious Stones’ is about the futility and stupidity of the things that divide us and how we let them suck the enjoyment out of life.”

All material on Eternal Recurrence was composed around a chamber ensemble led by German Dmitriev on violins, Steven Schumann on cellos, Maciek Szczyciński on double bass, and C. Alex Luke on piano. These elements are combined with aggressive guitars, lead work, and drumming rooted firmly in modern metal. The EP cover artwork and layout is by Timur Khabirov at All4band Design, and the project's logo was designed by Pavel Kurbanov at All4band Design.

About ETERNAL RECURRENCE:

ETERNAL RECURRENCE is a symphonic metal project based in Chicago, Illinois, founded in 2025 by multi-instrumentalist and composer C. Alex Luke. Known for blending progressive and extreme metal with classical instrumentation, the project takes a chamber music approach to symphonic metal, prioritizing the nuance and expressiveness of real musicians over large-scale orchestral simulation.

Drawing influence from bands such as KAMELOT, EPICA, OPETH, DREAM THEATER, and REVOCATION, ETERNAL RECURRENCE balances intricate compositions with aggressive modern metal. While traditional symphonic metal often relies on massive orchestras or dense sampled arrangements, ETERNAL RECURRENCE was created around the belief that the human touch of live performance remains essential, especially in an era increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

Rather than emulating 19th and 20th century symphonic traditions, the project looks to chamber music for inspiration. Chamber ensembles are designed for smaller spaces and intimate performances, emphasizing clarity, interaction, and detail. This philosophy defines the sound of ETERNAL RECURRENCE.

All material on the debut release, Eternal Recurrence, was composed specifically for a chamber string ensemble alongside full metal instrumentation. The ensemble features German Dmitriev on violins, Steven Schumann on cellos, Maciek Szczyciński on double bass, and C. Alex Luke on piano, integrated with heavy guitars, technical leads, and aggressive drumming.

Released independently in 2026, Eternal Recurrence serves as both an introduction and a mission statement, presenting symphonic metal that values realism, restraint, and emotional detail without sacrificing heaviness or intensity. The project exists at the intersection of classical tradition and modern metal, focused on authenticity, composition, and the expressive imperfections that only human performers can provide.

THE ETERNAL Release Video For New Single "Existing To Expire"

Australian/Finnish dark progressive gothic metal collective THE ETERNAL have unveiled a brand-new video for their latest single, "Existing To Expire." The song is the second track to be released from the band's highly anticipated eighth full-length studio album, Obscured Horizons, which will be released worldwide on September 18 via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Following the acclaimed first single, "Lament For The Hollow," "Existing To Expire" offers another powerful glimpse into what is shaping up to be THE ETERNAL's most immersive and definitive work to date. Expanding on the emotional weight, cinematic scope and haunting atmosphere that have become hallmarks of the band's sound, the new single further reveals the depth and ambition of Obscured Horizons.

The album is available for pre-order starting today: https://theeternal.rpm.link/horizonsPR

About the new single, Mark Kelson reveals:
"Existing to Expire explores that moment where you confront the weight of your own disillusionment—when truth and illusion blur to the point that you feel stripped of clarity and left in the dirt. For me, it’s about reclaiming agency after that collapse. There’s a strong sense of breaking free from passivity, which speaks to an internal turning point, a refusal to simply exist in a state of decay. In that sense, ‘existing to expire’ isn’t just about mortality, it’s about recognising a cycle of stagnation and choosing to rise from it, even when identity itself feels like it’s dissolving.”

Stream "Existing To Expire": https://theeternal.rpm.link/existingPR

Watch the new video Below:

Following the widespread acclaim of their 2024 full-length Skinwalker and the evocative companion EP Celestial, THE ETERNAL return with Obscured Horizons, an album that stands as both culmination and evolution. 

Where Skinwalker was hailed for its emotional weight, cinematic scope and seamless fusion of melancholic atmosphere with crushing heaviness, and Celestial further expanded the band's sonic palette with its introspective depth and dynamic intensity, Obscured Horizons pushes even further into uncharted territory. The album refines THE ETERNAL's signature blend of doom-laden textures, progressive sophistication and haunting melodic resonance, while embracing a broader, more expansive sound that feels both intimate and monumental.

At its core, Obscured Horizons is an exploration of disillusionment, fractured identity and the struggle to reclaim clarity in a world saturated with distortion. The album moves through states of emotional collapse, liminal transition and existential unrest, confronting deception, both external and internal, before emerging into renewal and self-awareness. Rather than surrendering to decay, Obscured Horizons charts a defiant ascent, refusing numbness, rejecting illusion and ultimately reclaiming light from the shadows that threaten to eclipse it.

With Mark Kelson (vocals/guitars) and Richie Poate (guitars) in Melbourne, alongside Niclas Etelävuori (bass; ex-Amorphis/Flat Earth) and Jan Rechberger (drums; Amorphis) in Helsinki, THE ETERNAL remain a truly international collaboration, unified across continents yet bound by a singular artistic vision.

Their sound continues to resonate with listeners drawn to the emotional gravity of dark metal while carving a path distinctly their own. As they enter a new creative chapter with their gaze fixed firmly on the unseen, Obscured Horizons represents a bold statement from a band continuing to evolve while remaining true to its artistic identity.

“'I, Scvlptor' is a new Behemoth song rooted in the tradition of monumental tracks like 'O Father O Satan O Sun!', 'Lucifer' or 'Nieboga Czarny Xiądz', while at the same time opening a new chapter. It carries that epic weight but also takes an unexpected turn that makes it feel fresh and different from the previous pieces. Lyrically, it is a metaphor for the endless process of shaping oneself - an uneven struggle with matter and personal limitations. The paradox is that from the moment we are born we are already destined to die, so perhaps it is not about victory itself, but about the constant act of sculpting who we are”.
 
'I, Scvlptor', which will be out 04 September 2026, is an exclusive release featuring eight previously unreleased songs - seven new studio recordings and one live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band's foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth's live energy and intensity. Two tracks - 'Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil' (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and 'In Thy Pandemaeternum' (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) - are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth - 'In League With Satan' (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and 'The Return of Darkness and Evil' (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited-Edition Box Set through Massacre Records worldwide and digitally via Nuclear Blast Records.

Nergal commented:
 
“We’re fucking excited about the release of I, Scvlptor. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, The Shit Ov God. That’s why we see I,Scvlptor as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”

In October 2026, two of the most influential forces in extreme metal join together for a monumental tour: Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir will embark on the “In League with Satan” co-headline tour (with special guests, Dark Funeral), storming across Europe and the UK. Details below:

Drown In Sulphur Sign with Noble Demon and Release their New Single + Video "New Moon Rising On Florence"

Italian blackened deathcore heavyweights Drown In Sulphur sign with Noble Demon and release their brand new single and music video "New Moon Rising On Florence"! The song is taken from their upcoming EP Strix, out on September 11th and is available to pre-save here: https://music.nobledemon.com/strix

 

As the latest addition to the German Metal Specialist Record Label, DROWN IN SULPHUR proudly present new music with a fresh band line-up.

Serving as a definitive look into the band’s revamped sonic direction, "New Moon Rising On Florence" unveils a track that is raw, visceral, and uncompromisingly heavy. The single serves as a focal point for the wider narrative of Strix, blending the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era deathcore with grim black metal influences, marking a deliberate shift toward a less symphonic, more hardcore sound.

 

Stream the single here: https://music.nobledemon.com/florence

 

Watch the video for "New Moon Rising On Florence" Below:

"With 'New Moon Rising On Florence,' we wanted to capture a sound that is entirely authentic and recognizable to the Drown In Sulphur name," the band shares. "Following our recent lineup changes, we entered a period of deep reflection. We knew we needed a change—a return to something rawer and more grounded in our origins, yet adapted for the modern era. We stripped back the symphonic layers to let the pure, unfiltered aggression take over. The result is a track that feels incredibly organic and devastating."

 

They continue: "Thematically, this song and the wider EP dive deep into esoteric, biblical, and dystopian contexts, heavily intertwining Masonic references. It all revolves around the mythological figure of the 'Strix'—the ancient nocturnal bird of ill omen. Florence becomes the backdrop for this dark ritual, signaling a new, rebellious vision of the world where ancient horrors resurface in modern times."

With Strix, Drown In Sulphur delivers a desperate and focused body of work born out of a renewed hunger for reinvention. The upcoming EP leaves behind traditional symphonic tropes to deliver a sound driven by raw energy and complex, occult storytelling—blurring the lines between theological dread and sonic violence.

 

As the first Deathcore band on Noble Demon, the label is expanding its style further into more extreme realms and CEO Patrick Walch comments about the brand new signing:

“I’ve been following this band for quite a while since personally I adore Deathcore and DROWN IN SULPHUR’s sound is outstanding. Intense and unique, right in your face and the right match for everyone who digs Death Metal, Metalcore, Modern Metal and anything in between. Check out their impressive catalog and watch out for our legendary and practical pre-save links since new music is already around the corner.”

 

The band shares the excitement and adds:
"We're delighted to announce our partnership with Noble Demon Records, a new growing and professional label. We can't wait to embark on a new journey and a new adventure with their help and support. There will be lots of news and, above all, new music on the way. Stay tuned".

 

Formed in Milan, Italy in 2014, Drown In Sulphur quickly shook the underground metal scene, securing millions of streams and views with their explosive early singles "An Epilogue to the Arrogant" and "Blackwind." Through a relentless creative fire and an evolving lineup, the project dropped a string of powerful full-lengths, including Sulphur Cvlt (2021), Dark Secrets Of The Soul (2024), and the rebellious Vengeance (2025).

 

Now, reinforced by their current definitive lineup, the band enters their most authentic era yet.

 

Drown In Sulphur is:

Manuel Riboldi – Vocals

Erik Bellan – Rhythm Guitar

Ciprian Grigore – Lead & Rhythm Guitar

Domenico Francesco Tamilia – Drums & Backing Vocals

 

Strix will be available on Sept. 11 on all major streaming platforms. You can pre-save and pre-order the EP at this location: https://music.nobledemon.com/strix

Recorded at Fållan in Stockholm in 2022, 'A Beast To Praise' captures DARK FUNERAL's devastating live performance in support of their acclaimed album 'We Are The Apocalypse.'Spanning 13 tracks and nearly 70 minutes, the release showcases the band's relentless stage presence while celebrating an album that entered the charts across Europe upon it's 2022 release, including #6 in Germany, #13 in Finland, #28 in Switzerland, #29 in Austria, and #31 in Sweden.

Watch the Live Video for "The Arrival of Satan's Empire" Below:

DARK FUNERAL’s Lord Ahriman comments on ‘A Beast To Praise’:

“‘A Beast To Praise’ (Live at Fållan, Stockholm) captures a very important moment in the history of DARK FUNERAL — not only the live release ritual for ‘We Are The Apocalypse,’but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic. That night at Fållan was intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding ‘We Are The Apocalypse.’ At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of DARK FUNERAL and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027. And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape — bigger, darker and more epic than ever before...”

SAVE US to Release "Death To Something" on 10/16; Band Shares Video for Title Track

Transcontinental trio SAVE US — Miguel Owls [vocals], Chris Biddiscombe[guitar], and Benji Havercroft [drums] — will release their new album Death To Something on October 16 via Solid State Records. Pre-order the album, produced by Landon Tewers, here.

The band shares the video for the title track. Watch it Below.

"'Death To Something' was the last song we wrote with Landon, and it ended up giving the record its name. Lyrically, it was inspired by my newborn son," says Owls. "The message is simple but powerful: Sometimes there has to be a death to your old life in order to build a better one for the people you love. On this track, I dive into the struggles and hardships of my past, and how I had to finally cut the ties that kept weighing me down. It's raw, personal, and honestly one of the most meaningful songs I've ever written."

The origin story of SAVE us and how the globally-based band came together is quite simple. Back in 2023, Owls was regularly posting covers on social media and quietly cultivating a following online. Hailing from the Central Valley of California, he never expected to find his future bandmates in his DMs. Bristol, UK-based Biddiscombe stumbled upon one of the vocalist's Architects covers and sent a message on TikTok. Clicking right away, they commenced creating music (despite over 5,000 miles between them). Due to a factory day job from 1pm-9:30pm, Owls typically woke up at 5am in order to write with Chris and Benji before work. Prior to meeting in-person, the trio had remotely recorded a few tracks. Eventually, the singer crossed the pond to shoot the visual for "Distance" from their LUCID EP. Reacting with listeners, the track clocked north of 2.6 million Spotify streams. The group maintained their momentum with 2024's EXIST EP. A year later, they inked a deal with Solid State and decamped to Michigan where they recorded with sought-after producer and The Plot In You mastermind Landon Tewers.

Ultimately, the band's name reflects their shared experience.

"Chris and Benji were both ready to stop doing music," Owls reveals. "I was in the same boat. We were all on the edge of letting our dreams go. Out of nowhere, we found each other, went all the way in together, and the band genuinely saved us. We're always dabbling in emotion, so our goal is to reach you on a human level."


Mission accomplished on Death To Something, which in all actuality, brought the band members back to life.

Sleep Theory Share Video for Their Cover of *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," A Staple of Their Live Shows

Rare is the band that can go No. 1 at Rock Radio and turn around and cover *NSYNC and make it their own.

But SLEEP THEORY — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassistPaolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — are hardly any other rock band!

With catalog streams at 875 million to date on the back of one album and one EP, Sleep Theory are here to stay... all the while crooning "Bye Bye Bye."

The breakout four-piece has today dropped the video for its flawlessly executed cover of *NSYNC's beloved, '00s pop classic "Bye Bye Bye."

Watch it Below:

Sleep Theory's version is a fan favorite and a staple of the band's live set. Their re-imagining always has heads nodding and bodies dancing at their shows — ultimately, their take on "Bye Bye Bye" is a sharp showcase for a band with a knack for turning something instantly familiar into something fresh. It proves that big hooks and alt-rock muscle can and do coexist. Sleep Theory have continually defied the boundaries of rock and metal by incorporating R&B and pop chops into their original songs and with their choice of covers.

Sleep Theory are coming off their third No. 1 at Rock Radio, a Best New Rock Artist win at the iHeart Radio Awards, a sold-out debut European headline tour, and two sold-out North American headline runs after issuing their debut album, Afterglow, produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects), last spring.

Motionless In White Share Video for "R.I.P." (Feat. Skylar Grey)

Platinum-selling, Scranton, PA powerhouse MOTIONLESS IN WHITE will release their new album DECADES  July 17 via Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band shares thew new song "R.I.P." (Feat. Skylar Grey).

Watch the video Below. 

The video was directed by Jensen Noen, who also lensed the "Werewolf" and "Sign Of Life" videos.

The track evokes the power of a lover's lament inscribed on a headstone. Piano twinkles through the haze of funereal synths, where the dual male-femal vocals entwine on an epic chorus boosted by soaring harmonies. It's everything you want, love, and expect from Motioneless In White.

"Skylar's voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own," says singer Chris Motionless. "I really love the lyrics for this song. Even though I wrote it through a romantic lens, I love that it can be applied to any moment in your life when you've had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that's a best friend, family member, or romantic partner."

He continues, "The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you've said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It's meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. You want to apologize and make things right, but you don't know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can't live without them, but there's a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you're left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it's destined to be laid to rest and gone forever."

Motionless In White have also announced the second leg of The Sweat and Blood Tour. Dayseeker will serve as direct support. The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine will also appear. This leg fittingly kicks off the night before Halloween in Worcester and runs through November 20 in Pittsburgh. 

All tickets are available here.

Decades features several high-profile and eclectic guest appearances. In addition to Taylor, Sklyar Grey, and Dark Divine's Anthony Martinez also feature on the album. The band recorded Decades in Upstate New York and Los Angeles with co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin "JD" deBlieck and ultimately incorporated their past, present, and future sounds into one cohesive sound. This is Motionless at their very best.

"We were never afraid to take risks," observes Chris. "This band has not only lasted two decades, but we've also outlasted all of the obstacles we've faced. We're still grinding. No matter how far we expand the universe that is Motionless In White, we're going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from. We are never going to abandon heartfelt, emotional, and heavy songs. We are never going to abandon what mattered to us the most when we started. We're finding new ways to emphasize those stories with exciting sounds and looks, but the vision is the same. It's always been this grand, dramatic, and theatrical entity. I'm proud we haven't gotten comfortable."

He finishes, "Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance."

WEDNESDAY 13 Unveils Video fo New Single "Look What The Bats Dragged In" (Un-Alive from Pol'and'Rock 2025)

Today, dread rock superstar WEDNESDAY 13 gives us the first taste of his forthcoming triumphant live album, Un-Alive from Pol'and'Rock 2025 out September 25 via Napalm Records. Kicking things off with a particularly raucous live rendition of the Transylvania 90210 classic, "Look What The Bats Dragged In," they sound as incendiary as ever. The roaring crowds are inescapable, as Weds and co. barrel through this high octane ripper with devilish delight. 

WEDNESDAY comments  "Look What The Bats Dragged In":
"Oh my God, look at what the bats dragged in. There's no better way to start a WEDNESDAY 13 show than with this graveyard banger. The Poison parody title is still admired to this day. 'Look What The Bats Dragged In' was the first track from the first WEDNESDAY 13 album, it's fast, furious, and never fails to get the audience in a frenzy. This track sets the pace for the whole live album."

Hardcore Punk Criminal Enterprise U.S. BASTARDS (Ex-GWAR) Unleash Cover of Judas Priest's "Heading Out to the Highway" + Visualizer

Today, U.S. BASTARDS, spearheaded by Brent Purgason (ex-GWAR), proudly unleash their latest single, a cover of Judas Priest's classic "Heading Out to the Highway," taken from their upcoming new album, 'Negligent Discharge,' due out this Friday, June 19th. The new track arrives alongside a visualizer, available below.

On the new track, Brent shares:

"We are a punk rock band at our core and we wanted to rock one of our favorite songs, by none other than Judas Priest, to show we could do more than simple fast tunes. The song meaning holds true for anyone feeling stuck and dealing with the frustrations of road life while also embracing the adventure and journey that comes with it. Plus, if Rob Halford can listen to it and text me a thumbs up emoji I can die a happy man."

Check Out the Visualizer for "Heading Out to the Highway" Below:

In a world full of pleasantries and kiss-assing, U.S. BASTARDS are neither. A four-piece hardcore punk criminal enterprise from Virginia, the band has re-formed after a chance meeting in county lockup. Brent and Robby knew the four members didn’t land in the same cell for no reason. It was fate calling them back to life on the road; back to sleepless trips, dungeon whips, gas station speed, and canned meat. Doug agreed fate was calling them back to teach the masses what a truly bad time could be. … and Brendan just happened to be in the room.

“I’ve been doing so much hard time lately, it's time to be hard on the road.” – Brent

“...[two middle fingers]...” – Doug

Ran-when-parked, the outlaws took straight to the van to get the message out. After a ten-year hiatus, they have agreed to utilize their newfound freedom from the state to write harder, catchier, faster, harder-er, hell-raising songs glorifying their exploits and shine a light on the gatekeeping tendencies in the music scene that has never accepted them.

When the rest of the world goes quiet, the BASTARDS get loud and angry, blazing across the country with a wall of cranked Marshall stacks. This is the way punk rock should be: loud, unapologetic, pandering to no one, and having no qualms with being the bad guy.

Stream / Listen to "Heading Out to the Highway" HERE

U.S. BASTARDS new album ‘Negligent Discharge’ is set for release June 19th featuring bonus track covers of Judas Priest and Motorhead songs. 13 tracks of hard and fast music that kicks the door off its hinges. Best to listen with a shotgun in one and a 40oz duct taped to the other, these are anthems for the outcasts among the outcasts. Skip work! Give your neighbors kid a cig! This is full throttle, no brakes, speed-rocking crime metal. Full stacks and gun racks packed, these delinquents are coming to your town. Clutch your pearls! U.S. BASTARDS are back.

With "Scars Of The Abyss", STORMHAMMER unleash another impressive preview of their forthcoming studio album Wrath Of The Hammer, set for release on July 17 via ROAR – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music. Blending anthemic choruses, dynamic musicianship and emotionally charged songwriting, the band once again demonstrates their ability to merge classic power metal traditions with contemporary heaviness and depth.

Watch the official music video Below:

Following the acclaimed album Seven Seals, STORMHAMMER open a new chapter with Wrath Of The Hammer. The album combines traditional heavy metal roots with thrash-driven guitars, epic melodies and progressive elements while staying true to the band’s unmistakable identity.

“This album feels honest and alive," guitarist Christos Efstathiou states. "We challenged ourselves creatively while staying true to what STORMHAMMER is about. There’s power, emotion and adventure in these songs.”

“Wrath of the Hammer reflects all generations of Heavy Metal," Phil Meyer (guitar, backing vocals) says. "The old school, the melodic, the anthemic and the modern. That’s exactly who STORMHAMMER are as a band today. We didn’t want the album to be purely melodic power metal. STORMHAMMER has always had a more raw side, and we wanted to push that further by bringing in thrash elements, modern metal and even some ’90s punk roots without losing the band’s heavy metal identity.”

Vocalist M.Nox adds: “We went into this album with the idea that we didn’t want to play it safe. We mixed in elements of Thrash, Symphonic and Classic Metal while keeping it true to STORMHAMMER’s Power Metal roots. With this album, you will hear STORMHAMMER in a way you have not heard before.”

Recorded at Mastersound Studio with producer Alexander Krull, the album delivers a massive production, atmospheric arrangements and renewed creative energy throughout, showcasing a band that continues to evolve while remaining a vital force in modern power metal!

Brand of Sacrifice Return With Explosive Double Single "Seeing Red" & "This Place Wasn't Meant For Us"

Canadian deathcore titans Brand of Sacrifice have returned with a devastating double single, “Seeing Red” and “This Place Wasn’t Meant For Us,” marking the band’s first new music since late 2023 and the opening strike of a major new chapter. Arriving with the scale, precision, and emotional force that have made Brand Of Sacrifice one of heavy music’s most singular modern bands and serious contenders for the modern deathcore crown, the two tracks feel both newly sharpened and deeply connected to the sound, scale, and conviction that the band are known for.

Since their formation in 2018, Brand of Sacrifice have built a world around a lethal combination of force and feeling. Across every era, their sound has carried the feeling of standing at the edge of something enormous, where beauty, violence, grief, and transformation all collide in the same frame. With the two new tracks released today, Brand of Sacrifice reconnect with the atmosphere and emotion of early releases The Interstice, their 2019 debut EP, and their 2021 Billboard-charting, Juno-nominated sophomore album Lifeblood. The result is a continuation of the band’s formative instincts: visceral heaviness, cinematic unease and emotional immediacy, sharpened through the force and command of the band they have become.

“Seeing Red,” sees the band come out swinging with one of their most direct and overwhelmingly brutal tracks to date. Built for devastating impact, the track is arguably one of the heaviest in the band’s catalog but underneath the brutality is something more human. The track speaks to the desperate search for agency when everything feels unstable, turning the guttural chaos of the music into something listeners can connect to on an emotional level.

Its companion, “This Place Wasn’t Meant For Us,” leans into the band’s gift for atmosphere and tension. Hauntingly eerie, cinematic, and slow-burning before the earth finally gives way, the track pulls the listener deeper into the darker, moodier sonic world-building side of Brand of Sacrifice.

Speaking on the new singles, vocalist Kyle Anderson shares:

“Seeing Red” and “This Place Wasn’t Meant For Us” mark an incredible moment for us as our first new material since 2023. While these songs push Brand of Sacrifice forward, they also reconnect with elements of our past, drawing inspiration from the atmosphere and emotion of The Interstice and our sophomore release Lifeblood. We wanted to strip things back and focus on something more visceral, and honest while capturing a sense of nostalgia without simply repeating ourselves. We’re very proud of these tracks and can’t wait for everyone to experience this next chapter with us.”

Today’s new tracks follow the band’s 2023 EP Between Death and Dreams and standalone single “Purge,” which also marked their signing to Nuclear Blast Records after their incendiary independent rise. That chapter expanded Brand of Sacrifice’s emotional and thematic range, with Anderson moving away from the anime themes of previous releases and looking inward to explore the darker trenches of the human condition while the band continued to stretch their sound into increasingly cinematic territory.



With “Seeing Red” and “This Place Wasn’t Meant For Us,” Brand of Sacrifice pull the atmospheric world building and cinematic violence of their formative work into the present with the same level of brutality and a closer examination of the human condition. Every detail feels sharpened by the band they are now: heavier in impact, broader in theme and atmosphere, and more direct in intent. It is the sound of a band stepping into their next chapter with total command of the world they have built.

ONLY ECHOES Announce New Single “So Tightly Bound” from Forthcoming Album Born Adrift

ONLY ECHOES return with “So Tightly Bound,” the latest single from their forthcoming full-length album Born Adrift, due out August 14, 2026 on Braeburn Records.

A cinematic and emotionally charged instrumental piece, “So Tightly Bound” moves with the urgency of a high-stakes escape sequence. Built around an anxious opening act, a climactic surge, and a triumphant final stretch, the track captures a sense of danger without surrendering to despair. There is a sinister undertone woven through its atmosphere, but the song never loses sight of hope.

For ONLY ECHOES, “So Tightly Bound” has held a unique place in the band’s writing process. As an instrumental band, song titles often remain fluid, shifting as compositions evolve through rehearsal, performance, and rewriting. This track, however, has carried the same name from the day it was written.

“This song is the only one that has never gone through a name change,” the band says. “As an instrumental band, we have a lot of freedom to change song titles at any time, and we often do after songs have gone through significant changes through playing and rewriting. This one, however, was called “So Tightly Bound” from the day that it was written. It’s just the right name.”

The band continues: “It does have a bit of a sinister undertone, but it never loses hope. If this was a movie, this song would be the part where our hero is captured and battles his way out to make a daring escape. After the anxious first act and the climactic escape, this song ends very triumphantly and keeps its eyes on the horizon.”

With “So Tightly Bound,” ONLY ECHOES offer a striking preview of Born Adrift, a record shaped by movement, tension, release, and the search for something beyond the present moment.

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). Born Adrift arrives August 14, 2026 via Braeburn Records.

With Born Adrift, ONLY ECHOES continue their mission to push instrumental post-metal forward, carrying the torch for a genre with few modern American bands operating at this intersection of atmosphere, melody, and crushing heaviness.

ONLY ECHOES is:

Austin Minney — Guitar
Dustin Yourishin — Guitar
Ben Rosenberg — Bass
Zach Sirotkin — Drums
