Legendary Hard Rock Icons STRYPER Unveil New Single "Ashes To Roses" + Lyric Video

Today, legendary Christian metal pioneers STRYPER proudly unveil their new single "Ashes To Roses," taken from their upcoming 18th studio album, ‘Throne Of Thorns,’ set for release on September 25th via Frontiers Music Srl. Decades into their journey, STRYPER continue to reaffirm their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands in classic metal, seamlessly blending their signature message with a sound that remains as powerful and relevant as ever. "Ashes to Roses" arrives alongside an official lyric video, available below.

On the new track, Michael Sweet comments:

“'Ashes To Roses' is definitely a little different for us. It’s got a little bit more of a throwback/classic rock vibe yet it’s got everything you would expect from STRYPER. It’s going to appeal all the people out there who have been wanting a good melodic rock ballad from the band. You asked, we listened!”

Watch the Lyric Video for "Ashes To Roses" Below:

‘Throne of Thorns’ showcases the band at the height of their creative powers, delivering a masterclass in songwriting and musicianship. The album is packed with grand, meticulously crafted arrangements, where thunderous rhythms, soaring guitar harmonies, and anthemic choruses come together in a style that is unmistakably STRYPER. Each track is infused with both intensity and melody, capturing the essence of classic metal while pushing their sound forward with renewed energy and purpose.

At the forefront stands the unmistakable voice of Michael Sweet, whose passionate, powerful, and instantly recognizable delivery continues to define the band’s identity. His vocal performance on ‘Throne of Thorns’ is nothing short of extraordinary, effortlessly moving between soaring highs and emotive depth, adding a timeless quality to every song.

Perry Richardson says:

"The best music doesn't come from comfort. It comes from living, struggling, growing, and refusing to quit. I hope these songs find you exactly when you need them."

With ‘Throne Of Thorns,’ STRYPER not only honors their legacy but expands upon it, offering an album that will resonate with longtime fans and newcomers alike. It’s a bold, inspired statement from a band that refuses to stand still—proof that true metal greatness only grows stronger with time.

Guitarist Oz Fox concludes:

"I’m really happy with the final outcome of this record and of the heart that went into it. Michaelcontinues to pour everything he has into the music and the message; Robert brings the power and energy that has always been the pulse of STRYPER; Perry’s musicianship, vocal talents, and dedication are second to none, and I’m grateful to be on this journey with all of them."

ONLY ECHOES Present New Single And Video For "Born Adrift" Ahead Of Upcoming Full-Length

Denver-based instrumental post-metal band ONLY ECHOES present the title track of their forthcoming full-length Born Adrift. The album is scheduled to arrive on August 14, 2026, via Braeburn Records.

"As a whole, this song really feels like you are lost at sea and fighting for your life, but that you haven't given up yet". Share ONLY ECHOES. 

"That is kind of the idea behind the title and the theme of the album to an extent. It is a heavy emotion, but not a claustrophobic one. It's the idea that this fight is difficult and it's going to stay difficult for the rest of the journey, but that it is still worth taking". 

ONLY ECHOES deliver "Born Adrift" with a striking impact. Wave after wave of intense heaviness brings the track's concept to life. Rhythmic shifts, catchy lead hooks, and uplifting moments not only provide movement but also a sense of anticipation. Shadowy passages feel weighted and inescapable but they are not dwelled upon without hope for too long. 

Alternating between light and shade, ONLY ECHOES deploy carefully curated changes in the track's pace as well as through their instrumental layering. The structure of "Born Adrift", while exploring periods of turmoil and relief, is emotionally complex as the music rises and falls before meeting an abrupt end. 

"Born Adrift" encapsulates key aspects of the band's sound that are also explored elsewhere across the album's track list. With this single release ONLY ECHOES demonstrate their darker side as this is the heaviest offering found on the forthcoming Born Adrift. 

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.

In August 2026, ONLY ECHOES will release their sophomore full-length album Born Adrift through Braeburn Records. Expanding on the emotional and conceptual depth of their previous work, Born Adrift explores the search for meaning through monumental riffs, ethereal atmospheres, and dynamic songwriting that remains both devastatingly heavy and deeply melodic. The album artwork reimagines an 1876 Gustave Doré engraving from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, colored and illustrated by Denver artist Celeste Hayes (@chayesart).

Though the band originally intended to include vocals, no one ever stepped forward to sing. Over time, ONLY ECHOES realized vocals were unnecessary entirely. Their music speaks through dynamics, melody, and sheer sonic force alone, summed up in the band’s defining ethos:

“No gods, no vocals.”

A relentless DIY band at heart, ONLY ECHOES have played more than 75 shows across the United States everywhere from bookstores and backyards to theaters and festivals. Their touring history includes multiple DIY west coast and midwest runs alongside performances with PALLBEARER, BIG|BRAVE, STRAWBERRY GIRLS, and THE ONGOING CONCEPT, including an appearance at the inaugural Ghost Canyon Fest.

Offstage, the band maintains a hands-on approach to nearly every aspect of their operation. Austin Minney screen prints much of the band’s merchandise by hand, often producing shirts just hours before heading out on tour.

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

CHEZ KANE Shares New Single "Bad Girl" + Official Video

Today, British rocker CHEZ KANE unleashes her new single, “Bad Girl,” along with an official video, taken from her latest studio album ‘Reckless,’ out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

CHEZ comments:

“'Bad Girl' is a fun and flirty anthem about embracing that rebellious side we all have. It's all about confidence, chemistry, and not being afraid to say, 'Let me be your bad girl!' 😉”

Talking about the record, CHEZ said:

“Finally, I can tell you! The official announcement of my third album, 'Reckless', is here! My last album, 'Powerzone,' dropped in 2022, and I’ve grown a lot since then. This time around, I got hands-on and collaborated on some writing. I pushed myself hard to make something that’s bigger, bolder, and yeah… sexy as hell.

“Massive thank you to Danny Rexon once again for being incredible to work with. Creating this with you was magic”, she added. “I can't wait for you guys to hear what we’ve made!”

Watch the Official Video for “Bad Girl" Below:

CHEZ KANE is back with her third studio album, 'Reckless' - an explosive blend of arena-ready hooks, slick guitar work, and unapologetic 80s-style swagger. Following the success of her first two records, CHEZ levels up with a collection that’s bigger in sound, richer in emotion, and packed with pure melodic firepower.

Once again, written and produced by Danny Rexon, frontman of Swedish hard rockers Crazy Lixx, 'Reckless' channels the golden age of melodic rock while injecting it with fresh energy and modern production.

The chemistry between CHEZ and Danny continues to shine, resulting in a record that blends 80s-inspired anthems, infectious hooks, and soaring vocals into a modern rock statement with attitude.

From glam-infused bangers to emotional slow-burners, 'Reckless' showcases CHEZ’s growing confidence and undeniable charisma, proving she’s not just riding the revival wave - she’s leading it.

If you’re craving fist-pumping choruses, soaring vocals, and a no-holds-barred throwback to the glory days of rock, look no further. CHEZ KANE’s 'Reckless' is melodic rock done right - bold, catchy, and undeniably alive.

Turn it up loud. This one’s recklessly unforgettable!

ALBERT BOUCHARD'S IMAGINOS IV: RHYME OF THE STARCLOCK ARRIVES SEPTEMBER 25TH, AND THE FIRST SINGLE AND VIDEO, “FOUR WINDS BAR,” ARE AVAILABLE NOW

Albert Bouchard is best known as a founding member of Blue Öyster Cult, whose  original lineup sold millions of albums for Columbia Records and produced such  classics as "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" and the Billboard Mainstream Rock chart-topping  hit "Burnin' for You." Bouchard also contributed songwriting and lead vocals to some of  the band's most beloved tracks, including "Cities on Flame with Rock and Roll." 

For decades, Bouchard has shepherded the Imaginos concept through its many  incarnations, transforming the feverish visions of Sandy Pearlman into a sprawling  musical narrative. The acclaimed Imaginos Trilogy brought together songs spanning  decades into a chronological tale of the ever-changing shapeshifter known as Imaginos. 

Now, the story continues with Imaginos IV: Rhyme Of The Starclock, inspired by a  treasure trove of previously undiscovered writings from Pearlman. 

As Bouchard explains: "After Mutant Reformation, I thought I was done with Imaginos. Those who bought the previous three Imaginos records might have thought the same  thing. Then a cache of Sandy Pearlman's writings was discovered when they sold his  house. Out of the thousand or so pages there were at least 28 song lyrics that were  never recorded. Most of those related directly to the Imaginos saga. Over the past 12  months I have recorded more than 20 of those songs. This new record contains 11 of  them, only one of which was known to me before. I am very excited to bring brand-new  material to this epic story." 

Imaginos IV: Rhyme Of The Starclock will be released on September 25th through Deko  Entertainment. The first single, "Four Winds Bar," inspired by a lyric from the Blue  Öyster Cult classic "Astronomy," was written by Joe Bouchard and Sandy Pearlman and  features Blue Coupe. 

Watch the video below: 

The album is available now for pre-order and features an impressive lineup of guest  musicians, including Ross the Boss Friedman, Joe Cerisano, Keith Roth, RJ Ronquillo,  Sandy Hall, Lenny Kaye, and Jack Rigg. 

Pre-order your copy of Imaginos IV: Rhyme Of The Starclock today and secure one of  the limited-edition bundles while supplies last.

Products Include: 
1 Imaginos IV- Rhyme Of The Starclock Swirl Vinyl

Katerina Nicole Is "Left Behind" In NSFW Video

Katerina Nicole isn't writing songs about surviving— she's writing anthems for the people who refuse to stop becoming who they're meant to be.

Blending the crushing intensity of modern metalcore with soaring melodies and raw emotional honesty, the Canadian-born independent artist continues to carve out her own lane with her new single "Left Behind." Watch the video below.

 More than a song, it's a declaration for anyone who has ever felt pressured to abandon the part of themselves that makes them feel truly alive.

Driven by relentless riffs, cinematic energy, and a message of resilience, "Left Behind" explores the pursuit of identity — not the version the world expects, but the one buried beneath fear, comfort, and expectation. It's about refusing to let your passion, purpose, or fire be left behind, no matter what it costs.

Already building momentum with thousands of listeners across streaming platforms and an expanding international audience, Katerina Nicole has become known for pairing vulnerability with uncompromising heaviness. Her music speaks to outsiders, dreamers, and anyone willing to chase self-discovery even when the road is uncertain.

With "Left Behind," Katerina Nicole isn't just releasing another single—she's inviting listeners to reconnect with the version of themselves they've been fighting to find all along.

You'll be glad that you did!

ICYMI: Check out the video for the gorgeous and haunting, previously released single "Ladybug."

And then check out "Black on White," featuring Johnny Ciardullo of Angelmaker and Carcosa. The vocals sparring between the two is nothing short of electrifying. Listen to the song and watch the visualizer here. 

Future Palace Release "Nixy" Video — WATCH // "Resurgence" Out Now

Germany's FUTURE PALACE unleashed their fourth album RESURGENCE on July 31 via Century Media. Listen and get it here. 

The album is a powerful exploration of isolation, inner conflict, and the struggle to rebuild oneself. Blending post-hardcore intensity with cinematic electronics, soaring melodies, and crushing breakdowns, the Berlin trio dives deep into themes of depression, doubt, and emotional transformation. Ultimately, Resurgence captures the fragile moment where despair slowly turns into strength — and is proof of the redemptive power of music.

Today, they release the video for "Nixy." Watch it below.

"'Nixy' stands out because it focuses on riffs and has an upbeat chorus, which makes the song deliver a unique tension," says guitarist Manuel Kohlert. "Playing it feels like a rollercoaster ride that is over way too quick."

Future Palace will spend the bulk of 2026 touring, with festival appearances and a fall tour on deck. All dates are below, including a return to the U.S. to appear at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville in September.

Breaking In A Sequence Release New Single "Don't Run" via TLG|ZOID ​

Melodic alternative metal band Breaking In A Sequence released their new single “Don't Run” via TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. The track serves as the second single from the band’s completed full-length album INANIMATE, due out later this year.

"'Don’t Run' was the first song written with new drummer BC Vaught. We didn’t write anything for the first year and a half after to give us time to meld together. The song carries the NuMetal torch from the early 2000’s with a perfect blend of melody, groove and aggression. It has a rawness that is absent in today’s music," shares the band.

The single was produced by Chris Collier alongside the band and mixed and mastered by Collier as well. The release marks the beginning of a new chapter for BIAS as they build momentum toward the full album launch.

FiRSUN Sign to SBG Records, Release Album 'Fortitude' Featuring “Oh Preacher” ​

From the pine-lined edges of East Texas to the salt-stained air of Palm Coast, Florida, FiRSUN is the sound of starting over.

FiRSUN has officially signed with SBG Records and celebrates the partnership with the release of its album, Fortitude, featuring “Oh Preacher” and its accompanying official music video.

Led by vocalist, songwriter, and producer Matt Jackson, FiRSUN represents a new chapter built from hard-earned experience. Jackson has shared stages with Nothing More, Set It Off, From Ashes to New, Filter, Dead Poet Society, Oxymorrons, Silly Goose, and many more. Joining him is guitarist Aaron Grove.

“This new chapter isn’t a return—it’s a resurrection,” says FiRSUN.

Influenced by the shadows and shimmer of Deftones, the depth of Failure, the soul of DC Talk, and the angst of early 2000s alt hard rock, this project is unfiltered truth. No more shrinking to fit. No more swallowing songs that should have been sung. 

At the heart of the album is “Oh Preacher,” a song that confronts manipulation, hypocrisy, and the search for validation through the perspective of a narcissist who insists they have done nothing wrong while their actions tell a very different story. Framed through the language and imagery of religion, the song explores the emotional impact of experiencing that kind of behavior firsthand.

“The lyrical aspect of this song is a first-person point of view from a narcissist's standpoint seeking validation for their actions. They say they're not doing anything wrong, but their actions speak otherwise, while being dressed up in a way that is commonly seen through religion. Dealing with it firsthand and seeing how it has affected me, this song was the best way I could let out how I feel. I hope it connects with anybody that has dealt or is dealing with a similar situation," says Matt Jackson.

Fortitude is out now via SBG Records HERE

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: Banks Arcade Have A New Release

"MIRROR" hits with that signature Banks Arcade blend of heavy riffs, electronic tension, and melodic bite, but here everything feels more venomous. The track digs into guilt, rage and self‑destruction, pulling out lines about learned ugliness and stripped worth that land with real weight. The hook snaps hard, the production stays sleek, and the whole song moves like it’s ready to tear down whatever broke you. It’s aggressive, stylish and full of the restless energy that's been pushing the band forward for years. ​

Since forming in Auckland and later settling in Melbourne, Banks Arcade have carved out a lane of their own, mixing metalcore with electronic and hip‑hop elements in a way that feels fresh rather than forced. Their debut album Future Lovers and follow‑up EPs built serious momentum, while touring across Australia, the U.S., and UK, including major festivals and support runs with Northlane and In Hearts Wake, has grown their global fanbase into something loud and loyal.

"MIRROR" captures that evolution in full: Confident, melodic, emotionally charged, and unmistakably Banks Arcade. A track that shows exactly why they're becoming one of the most exciting modern heavy acts to watch.

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: TOK Have A New Release — LISTEN

The new track from TOK aka The Oklahoma Kid marks the first strike of their renewed identity and the beginning of a darker, more confrontational chapter.

With the arrival of Tobias Rische, former singer of Alazka and Novelist, TOK tap into a sharper, more emotionally charged vocal dynamic that instantly reshapes their sound.

"SPIT" channels raw intensity, fractured trust and the moment everything breaks, pairing that energy with a striking early‑2000s aesthetic that underscores the band's shift toward something grittier and more fearless. It’s rupture and reinvention in one hit, a clear signal of where the band is heading next. ​

As one of modern metalcore's most forward‑thinking acts, TOK have built their reputation on precision, creativity, and boundary‑pushing songwriting. They’re kicking off a new chapter with a fresh frontman and a ton of forward drive, and at the same time, they're pulling themselves and their fans straight back 20  years. With a sound and aesthetic shaped by the music they grew up on, they dive back into the early 2000s, right into the breakthrough era of metalcore and the raw energy that defined it. ​

With "SPIT," they channel that momentum into a refreshed vision: Bold, emotional, visually distinct and unmistakably their own, setting the tone for a future defined by evolution and impact. Their entire visual and sonic identity pulls listeners back into a glorified pre‑streaming era, back to a time when everything revolved around the music and the style.

LACRIMAS PROFUNDERE Announce "Lay Me Down O Silent Fear" Album + Share Video for New Single

Four years have passed since Lacrimas Profundere's last full-length album. During this time, they have played well over 100 concerts, including the biggest festivals in Europe, crowned by a European tour supporting their greatest idols, the band Paradise Lost, in autumn 2025!

When a band has been around for 33 years, they mean business and can look back on an eventful history. With the brilliant chart positions of their previous albums, awards such as "Album of the Month", sold-out clubs on their tours, festivals and shows in 40 countries to date, and their ever-growing fanbase, Lacrimas Profundere have already achieved a great deal. But with their new album, they want more, dream bigger, and continue on their path with unwavering determination.
That is the very definition of rock 'n' roll.

What would *Bohemian Rhapsody* sound like if *Bring Me the Horizon* were to cover it?

"We don't know, but at least we tried," says Oliver Nikolas Schmid with a grin, and the opening track "Days Of Doom" answers the question immediately, leaving no doubt: Exactly like that! The song charges across a Mad Max-like wasteland like a herd of wild horses.

Never before has a gothic and metalcore been as close as they are in the song "Faceless." Rarely has a ballad been as captivating and multifaceted as "Veil XV," and it is not often that a Goth rock hit like "Nevermore" stands side by side with the almost Slipknot-like "Sinful Desire." Whether it is the ultra-catchy "Arcane Promises," reminiscent of the great old Sentenced days, the tête-à-tête between Arch Enemy and HIM on "O Silent Fear," or "Heart I Will Break You, Before You Break Me," which feels as though Anathema had suddenly invited Glen Danzig to take over the microphone, Lacrimas Profundere consistently demonstrate their unique talent for profound and exciting songwriting.

No matter which song you choose, the band members have finally emerged from their protective gothic cocoon and present the most spectacular album in their history. Every note reveals a band that refuses to choose between gothic, heavy metal, brutality, darkness, modernity, or old school—simply because there is no reason to.

The debut single "O Silent Fear" became a blend of Amorphis, Arch Enemy and HIM. If someone had told the band such a song existed, it would have wanted to hear it immediately. So for everyone out there who feels the same: Now you finally can!

Swedish Symphonic Metallers ELEINE Release New Single "Watch As We Rise" + Official Music Video

Swedish metal band ELEINE release their new single and accompanying music video,"Watch As We Rise," and unveil the artwork for their upcoming fifth studio album, 'The Water Taste Of Blood.' The album will be released independently on December 4th via the band's own label, Algoth Records, with global distribution through Sound Pollution.

Where the first single, "Empire of Lies," exposed deception and "We March" carried listeners through it, "Watch As We Rise" is the reckoning and the soundtrack to that empire's collapse. The third single from 'The Water Taste Of Blood' is the band's heaviest yet, built on chugging, in-your-face riffs and defiant vocals. It's a song about getting back up in the middle of the fight and burning the whole thing to the ground.

Watch the Music Video for "Watch As We Rise" Below:

In ELEINE’s own words:

“This is our song of reclaiming control of your own life. We’ve been through so much sh*t the past years. Buried under one pile after the other. ‘Watch As We Rise’ is a releasing song that fills you with power and determination through heavy chugging and in your face vocals.”

JOHN COFFEY Announces New Album "Not Alone" + Shares Video for "It's You"

Dutch punk and rock 'n' roll powerhouse John Coffey have announced their new studio album, Not Alone, out October 9 via Long Branch Records. Not Alone is about the power of connection. About discovering that there are other people who feel what you feel. Whether you find that connection through a partner, a friend, a helpline, or a room full of people feeling the same music. Talking helps. Singing helps. Screaming along helps.

Alongside the album announcement, John Coffey have also unveiled their powerful new single "It's You." 

"Sometimes we meet someone who reminds us that we're not alone. Someone who sees us, understands us, and makes us feel that our experiences truly matter," comments the band. "'It's you' is not a love song to one person, but a celebration of human connection. It's dedicated to everyone who deserves to know they matter, and to those who make a difference in another person's life, often without even realizing it."

Miss May I Drop "Hand Me a Halo"

MISS MAY I — Levi Benton [vocals], Jerod Boyd [drums], Ryan Neff [bass], and Elisha Mullins [guitar ] — will drop their new album NO PLACE FOR ME on October 2 via Solid State Records. Pre-order it here.

The band also has issued the video for "HAND ME A HALO." Watch it below.

The song is gritty and guitar-forward, powered by phlegmatic and furious vocals that will make even the finest hairs on your neck stand on end and it's anchored by a memorable melody that just won't quit. The song is like the very halo referenced in the lyrics — and it's what fans want to be handed.

"'Hand Me A Halo' tells the self-narrative of losing one's sense of self and dealing with the intrusive thoughts that come with it," says Benton. "This song came from our own confusion and loss of identity through the changing seasons of life. The fear can be constant, leaving you to question if you just want someone to hand you a halo."

Instead of letting doubts, anxiety, negativity, and intrusive thoughts run wild, Miss May I will catch and turn even the most volatile feelings into airtight anthems. The Ohio-bred quartet ground extreme emotions in a taut framework of technically adroit riffing, hardcore grooves, and unforgettable melodies. The band has expertly honed an uncanny ability to make sense of life on tape. That's why fans worldwide have leaned on the group's music since their emergence in 2007. Following years of grinding, 2012's At Heart marked a breakthrough moment for the group when it bowed at #32 on the Billboard 200. Their impact only expanded with Deathless [2015] and Shadows Inside [2017], which both debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Independent Albums Chart and Top Rock Albums Chart. In 2022, Curse Of Existence received widespread critical acclaim from the likes of Alternative Presswho raved: "Miss May I have penned one of their strongest records yet." V13 hailed it as "packed full of emotion and heartfelt rage," and Outburn marveled at "their fast, aggressive, thrashy metalcore mixed with powerful lyrics." Along the way, they generated hundreds of millions of streams and toured with everyone from Killswitch Engage and Parkway Drive to Motionless In White. In 2026, the collective continue to strike a deep chord with their eighth full-length offering and Solid State debut LP, No Place For Me.

Plain White T's Enlist LØLØ For New Version of 2.5 Billion-Streaming Smash "Hey There Delilah"

PLAIN WHITE T'S — Tom Higgenson [vocals], Tim Lopez [lead guitar, vocals],Mike Retondo [bass], and De'Mar Hamilton [drums] — are enjoying a moment with their 2.5 billon-streaming, platinum smash "Hey There Delilah," one of the most beloved love songs of the 21st century.

The Plain White T’s released "Hey There Delilah" on May 9, 2006, and 21 years later, it hasn't just endured; it has become one of the most timeless love songs of the 2000s. The track has now surpassed 2.5 billion streams, was a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, and earned two Grammy nominations, but its real story is longevity: A stripped-down, simple but powerful, pre-social media love song that continues to connect across generations. In an era before FaceTime and Instagram stories, "Hey There Delilah" defined long-distance relationships. It continues to resurface through covers, viral reinterpretations, and Gen Z discovery. It's not just nostalgia — it's one of the last true monoculture love songs still actively finding new audiences. Now, the band is giving the song another boost with a new version featuring labelmate and acclaimed pop-rock artist LØLØ.

In this fresh re-telling, LØLØ offers Delilah's POV in her honeyed voice, giving it another lyrical lean and a gorgeous layer of harmonizing. It's a full circle moment for the singer, as she released a version providing Delilah's perspective in 2020 and it exploded on TikTok. Now, the T's have given her the chance to make it official with them. Fans finally have a version of the song where Delilah is literally heard alongside the protagonist. The back and forth is just breathtaking and beautiful, and something instantly familiar is made thrillingly new.

SINNER BOOM BANG GOODBYE OUT NOW: SINNER RELEASE FINAL STUDIO ALBUM AND NEW VIDEO FOR “ALL NIGHT LONG”

With Boom Bang Goodbye, SINNER release their final studio album today via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). After more than four decades, 19 studio albums and countless live shows, the band led by Mat Sinner bid farewell with a record that distils their entire career into eleven powerful songs. Alongside the album, SINNER have also released a new video for “All Night Long,” arguably the most carefree and life-affirming anthem on the record, featuring Ronnie Romero on vocals.

What began as Mat Sinner’s vision in 1982 evolved over more than four decades into one of the most enduring and influential institutions of the German hard rock and metal scene. From their early classics to the chart success of Brotherhood (#12 in Germany, 2022), SINNER have always remained a band that refused to follow trends, instead forging their own path with passion, integrity and an unwavering love of rock ’n’ roll.

With Boom Bang Goodbye, this journey does not end quietly. Instead, SINNER bow out with an album that once again brings together everything the band have always stood for: soaring melodies, powerful guitars, anthemic choruses and genuine emotion. Produced by Mat Sinner and completed together with Alex Scholpp, the album spans an impressive range from classic hard rock and melodic metal to modern arena anthems.

Opening track “Dreams Can Come True” immediately sets the album’s emotional tone, telling a story of hope, perseverance and the courage to keep believing in your dreams despite every setback. Songs such as “Wait,” “Leave It All Behind” and “Turn The Page” reflect on farewells, the passing of time and inner strength, while “Hellbreaker” and “Under The Moonlight” deliver the riff-driven heaviness that has defined SINNER for decades.

To coincide with the album release, SINNER have also unveiled the video for “All Night Long.” With Ronnie Romero behind the microphone, the song becomes a musical journey back to the golden days of rock ’n’ roll. Memories of sweaty clubs, endless summer nights and unbreakable friendships meet an instantly infectious chorus. The accompanying video captures exactly that spirit, packed with energy, good times and genuine rock ’n’ roll moments. “All Night Long” is the perfect feel-good soundtrack for the summer and, at the same time, one final collective toast to more than forty years of SINNER history. Because even though Boom Bang Goodbye marks the end of a chapter, one thing remains truer than ever: The party goes on.

For this final statement, Mat Sinner has once again assembled an impressive cast of longtime companions and outstanding musicians. Alex Scholpp (guitar) and Moritz Müller (drums) provide the album’s powerful foundation, joined by Jim Müller (KISSIN’ DYNAMITE), Lisa Müller, returning SINNER guitarist Mathias “Don” Dieth, and Magnus Karlsson, who has worked closely with Mat Sinner for many years.

Vocally, Boom Bang Goodbye also becomes an extraordinary meeting of remarkable voices. Ronnie Romero, Michael Bormann, Michael Sadler (SAGA), Björn “Speed” Strid (SOILWORK), Erik Mårtensson (ECLIPSE), Renan Zonta and Sascha Krebs each bring their own distinctive character to the songs, making the album a fitting farewell filled with exceptional vocal performances.

Mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios, Boom Bang Goodbye combines modern power with the classic SINNER DNA. Every song bears Mat Sinner’s unmistakable signature – as a musician, songwriter and one of the defining figures of the European hard rock and metal scene.

Boom Bang Goodbye is far more than simply the final SINNER album. It is an emotional legacy. A thank-you to the fans. And one last firework display of anthems, memories and passion.
 

Or, as Mat Sinner himself puts it:
“The last one turns off the lights.”

Drown In Sulphur Release their New Single + Video "Groan From The IXth Circle"

Deathcore force Drown In Sulphur from Italy have released their second single and music video "Groan From The IXth Circle" via Noble Demon! The song is taken off their upcoming EP Strix, due out on September 11th.

Pre-save right here: https://music.nobledemon.com/strix

DROWN IN SULPHUR are the latest addition to the German Metal Record Label and proudly present new music with a fresh band line-up. After they dropped a bomb with the first output "New Moon Rising On Florence" in June, the brand new single cements even clearer where the band is heading towards with their revamped sound. Be prepared since the upcoming digital EP Strix is blending the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era deathcore with grim black metal influences, marking a deliberate shift toward a less symphonic, more hardcore sound.

Watch the video for "Groan From The IXth Circle" and enjoy the single below:

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.

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

THE ETERNAL Release Striking Music Video For New Single "Colours Fade" From Upcoming Studio Album 'Obscured Horizons'

Australian/Finnish progressive dark metal collective THE ETERNAL has unveiled a captivating new music video for their latest single, "Colours Fade," offering another compelling glimpse into their forthcoming studio album, Obscured Horizons, set for release on September 18 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM).

Blending haunting melodies with emotional depth and cinematic atmosphere, the track further showcases the band's signature ability to fuse epic heaviness with introspective songwriting. Exploring themes of memory, perception, identity, and the passage of time, "Colours Fade" captures the emotional tension between illusion and reality.

As vocalist Mark Kelson explains, "'Colours Fade' is about the shifting nature of perception, how memory, emotion, and time constantly reshape the way we see our lives. For me, it reflects that internal conflict between what we want to believe and what we know to be true. There’s a recurring sense that we construct these emotional ‘masks’ to protect ourselves, but over time they become part of the illusion that holds us back. The imagery of colours fading speaks to that loss of clarity or meaning, where everything starts to feel muted or indistinguishable, yet at the same time those colours don’t disappear completely, they rearrange, suggesting that nothing is ever truly lost, only transformed. ‘Colours Fade’ is about navigating cycles of emotion, of identity, of time and learning to exist within that flux without losing yourself entirely.” 

Album pre-orders are available at: https://theeternal.rpm.link/horizonsPR

Stream the new single "Colours Fade" 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.

THE ETERNAL Australian Live Dates, with AMORPHIS:
September 23, 2026 The Croxton Bandroom, Thornbury, VIC
September 24, 2026 The Triffid, Newstead, QLD
September 25, 2026 Liberty Hall, Moore Park, NSW
September 26, 2026 The Basement, Belconnen, ACT

Hard Rock Supergroup ICONIC Releases Sophomore Album 'II' — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, hard rock supergroup ICONIC - featuring Michael Sweet (guitars), Joel Hoekstra(guitars), Marco Mendoza (bass), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Nathan James (vocals) – proudly releases their sophomore album ‘II,’ out on now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the release, the band also shares the new single, "Heart Of Stone," alongside an official video, available below.

Joel Hoekstra comments on the new single:

“'Heart Of Stone' has a catchy melody delivered beautifully by Nathan James. It was a pleasure to write the riffs for this one, and of course to record them and dig deep for the solo. Hope everyone likes it!”

Michael Sweet adds:

“We couldn’t be more excited to release 'Heart Of Stone.' To be able to create music with such amazing musicians and then know that this music is inspiring people around the world is such a blessing! I hope you enjoy 'Heart Of Stone'!”

“Another great track! This album has got some gems, this one is no exception!! Enjoy rock & roll at its finest!,” continues Marco Mendoza.

Watch the Official Video for "Heart Of Stone" Below:

ICONIC returns with ‘II,’ a second album that doesn’t just continue the band’s journey - it defines it. Where their debut introduced the chemistry between five world-class musicians, II sharpens that vision into a clearer, heavier, and more confident sonic identity, delivering a sound that is more powerful, more direct, and unmistakably rock.

At the heart of the album lies the electrifying guitar partnership of Joel Hoekstra and Michael Sweet, delivering a masterclass in soaring melodies, blazing solos, and muscular riffs that perfectly balance technical brilliance with pure hard-rock attitude. Beneath them, the rhythm section of Tommy Aldridge and Marco Mendoza drives the record with thunderous authority, creating a groove that is both massive and relentless.

The album kicks off with “Cry No More,” a high-octane opener that immediately sets the tone - an energetic slice of hard rock packed with driving riffs, explosive drums, and a chorus built to stick. 

On the other side of the emotional spectrum, “Tears Keep On Falling” showcases the band’s dynamic range, unfolding as an electrifying power ballad where melody, atmosphere, and intensity come together in dramatic fashion.

Towering above it all is Nathan James, whose performance on ‘II’ is nothing short of extraordinary - powerful, soulful, and commanding, elevating every track with unmistakable presence.

With bigger riffs, deeper grooves, and a stronger sense of identity, ‘II’ captures ICONIC at full force: a band no longer introducing itself but fully owning its sound.

Order 'II' HERE

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH RELEASE "LEGACY," THE DEFINING ALBUM OF A 20-YEAR CAREER, + NEW SONG "NAILS IN THE COFFIN" — LISTEN

Twenty years and 10 albums into one of the most successful hard rock careers of the modern era, Five Finger Death Punch today released Legacy, the record the band regards as the definitive statement of everything they are. The album arrives on the heels of current single "Eye Of The Storm," delivering the band's 18th No. 1 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart, extending their own record for the most consecutive No. 1s in the chart's 45-year history. Few bands reach a 20th anniversary. Fewer still reach it at the height of their commercial power.

Revolver praised the track's blend of battering riffs and melody driven by Ivan Moody's introspective vocal performance, while Loudwire called it "a furious opening statement for the new album cycle."

Founding guitarist  Zoltan Bathory left no doubt about where Legacy stands in the band's catalog: "This album is our loud and clear answer to the question of whether a band can stay true to the signature sound that has become the soundtrack to millions of fans' daily lives and still write something new and exciting. Legacy is an absolute monster, an unapologetic monument to how far we've come, and a clear signal that we're not even thinking about slowing down. If you asked me to pick the one record that best represents the essence of this band, I would hand you this one."

Alongside the album, the band today unleashes new song "Nails In The Coffin" (listen below). Bathory offered his perspective on the track: "Ivan never defines the meaning of his lyrics. He doesn't want to rob the fans of their own interpretation, so a song means whatever it's supposed to mean to each listener. That's by design, and I love that about him. But to me, 'Nails In The Coffin' is about burying the things that tried to bury us. Every doubt, every prediction that we wouldn't last, every catastrophe that was supposed to be the last nail in our coffin. 20 years later, we are still here and we're the ones holding the hammer."

Five Finger Death Punch are currently on the first leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour which takes the band 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 and sponsored by Punch'd Energy, the 48-city North American tour is currently underway and will wrap up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on October 23.

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.

The band's previous albums, Best Of – Volume 1 and Best Of – Volume 2 are available HERE and feature newly re-recorded versions of Five Finger Death Punch's biggest hits from the past two decades.
