Hard Rockers NESTOR Unleash Live Version of "Teenage Rebel"

Swedish hard rockers NESTOR are set to release their first ever live album Live at Gothenburg Film Studios this August 14 via Napalm Records! Today, the band has revealed the final single with a powerful live version of their celebrated '80s-inspired anthem "Teenage Rebel," together with a live video. "Teenage Rebel" was originally released as the title track of the band's critically acclaimed latest studio album (2024) that received international chart success, including reaching #12 on Official German Album Charts and #19 in Sweden. Drenched in nostalgia, the song features epic riffing, emotion-loaded melodies and a massive chorus that shines even brighter than before on the live version. Watch the captivating live video below, and secure your copy of Live at Gothenburg Film Studios now!

Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:
"'Teenage Rebel' is all about lost youth. About being careless. About being fearless and living every day like there's no tomorrow. We believe that message really shines through in this live performance of the song."


Check Out the Live Video for "Teenage Rebel" Below:

Live at Gothenburg Film Studios treats fans old and new to a hefty selection of live versions of future classics from NESTOR's celebrated catalogue. The band brings the heat with a new rendition of the track "Firesign" (originally from Kids in a ghost town, 2021) — catchy riffs and rhythms carry the heavily '80s-inspired, authentic sound that is topped with impressive rock vocals. The nostalgia-drenched following track "Teenage Rebel" (title track of the latest studio album, 2024) gets audiences singing along without a failure with its irresistible chorus that is accompanied with emotion-loaded melodies and massive riffs. Further highlights of this extensive, 16-track offering include a live rendition of one of the biggest NESTOR hits to date, "On The Run" (also from the praised debut Kids in a ghost town, 2021).

This comprehensive live album, available even as a DVD, draws from NESTOR's impressive repertoire of arena-worthy anthems and rock ballads, polished with the very best AOR and classic '80s rock influences. Without a doubt, NESTOR continue their steady mission to restore the glory of rock!

Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:
"When I listen to Live at Gothenburg Film Studios, it becomes clear to me that it shows everything that NESTOR was about, from the beginning. A live performance with all the little quirks and mistakes that makes it human, a thing that I have learned to love even more in an era of AI-generated music. Live at Gothenburg Film Studios is less clinical and more of a human experience in comparison to our studio albums and shows a different side of NESTOR. I hope you will enjoy it as much as we did recording it up on stage."

Deardarkhead unveils 'In Another Life' video, highlighting 'The Pendulum Swings', first album in 26 years

New Jersey alternative rock outfit Deardarkhead present their new video for 'In Another Life', a highlight track of 'The Pendulum Swings', their first album in 25 years and the second full-length record released via their own imprint Fertile Crescent Records. Built around soaring guitar leads and melodic bass hooks, they balance tension between crystalline guitar arpeggios, fuzzed out tremolo, and melodic baselines. With an introspective atmosphere about what could have been, drummer Robert Weiss was also particularly inspired by sitar music for the rhythmic droning lead sections.

The accompanying video was created by Italian visionary Francesca Bonci, kno wn for her work with Federale (Brian Jonestown Massacre's Collin Hegna), The Dandy Warhols, Pete International Airport and Slowdive's Rachel Goswell, and Tombstones In Their Eyes, among others.


Capturing an ever-evolving band, refining their voice through texture, atmosphere, and emotional momentum, these ten tracks were recorded at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia. Produced, engineered and mixed by Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey(The War on Drugs, Kurt Vile, Sharon Van Etten), it was mastered by Grammy-nominated engineer Joe Lambert (Animal Collective, Blonde Redhead, Beach House, M83, Wild Nothing).

Formed in 1988 in Atlantic City, NJ, Deardarkhead is made up of guitarist Kevin Harrington, drummer Robert Weiss and bassist James Malizia, who recently replaced Brandon Howard following the recording of this album. Deardarkhead has built a distinctive identity since the departure of vocalist Michael Amper in 2009, shifting fully into melodic texture-rich instrumental composition.

The record moves through shifting moods ranging from soaring, psychedelic-tinged guitar anthems to driving post-punk rhythms and more ambient, abstract passages. The result is a dynamic and cohesive work that highlights the band’s signature blend of shimmering guitars, pulsing bass, and powerful percussion. The band pushes the envelope with their instrumental approach, using drum loops, unusual time signatures, ebow, bass VI, and expanded guitar layering.

"'The Pendulum Swings' is a collection of both older and newer material that we are very proud of. Each song has its own distinct vibe, but they collectively make up the DDH sound. This was the second time we recorded at Miner Street Recordings and we focused on trying new things with drum loops, different time signatures, backing keyboard tracks, using an ebow and bass VI, plus more guitar tracks than ever," says Robert Weiss.

Deardarkhead earlier shared the lead track 'Letting Go', a collaboration with keyboardist Joe McGinty, known for his work with The Psychedelic Furs, Nada Surf, Ryan Adams and Deborah Harry, who added additional layers of atmosphere and texture. A song about growth and change, it espouses releasing old patterns and embracing new directions.

Taking their name from the 1867 Irish poem “Cean Dubh Dilis” by Samuel Ferguson -- a work about a beautiful dark-haired girl, Deardarkhead's identity is rooted as much in mood as in melody. Their music blends atmospheric dreampop, shoegaze shimmer and ethereal rock, unfolding as an original, guitar-driven psychedelic tightrope walk balancing moody textures and shimmering melodies.

Over nearly four decades, Deardarkhead have had many notable milestones, including shows with Supergrass, The Psychedelic Furs, Everclear, Nothing and The Lilys. They released five recordings via Fertile Crescent Records, debuting with the 1998 album 'Unlock the Valves of Feeling', they also featured on numerous US and Japanese compilations. In 2011, Captured Tracks released 'Oceanside: 1991-1993', a retrospective of their early material (and second release in their Shoegaze Archives series). They joined Saint Marie Records to release their acclaimed 'Strange Weather' EP in 2016.

'The Pendulum Swings' is out now, available from music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. It is now available for pre-order on CD, digitally, and on 180-gram vinyl.

BURIAL PATH Release New Single And Video For "Lilitu (Ft. Abigail Bexx)"

In a display of utter devastation and dark grandeur, post-deathcore act BURIAL PATH have unleashed their foreboding new offering, "Lilitu" featuring guest vocals by Abigail Bexx. "Lilitu" is accompanied with a powerful performance video. The track follows the band's previous harrowing single release "A Display of Penance". 

Abigail Bexx shares, “There’s a quiet pressure that comes with being a woman in extreme music. Before you open your mouth, people have already decided what you’ll sound like, what you’ll be capable of, or whether you belong at all. 'Lilitu' was born from that tension. It’s about every woman who’s ever felt reduced to someone else’s expectations and choosing to stand anyway.” 

Guitarist Matthew McClure comments, "'Lilitu' is about rejecting imposed identity. The song progresses through several emotions, from recognizing the oppression of imposed identity to reclaiming one's true identity and the freedom from that imposition. This is a psalm of rejecting the 'authority' that imposes identity and fighting the ideology that sustains it."

In "Lilitu", BURIAL PATH unearth obliterating intensity through crushing rhythms, deafening gutturals and ethereal orchestration. The power and anguish of this track is inescapable. The musical arrangement provides no moment of rest; the momentum is unceasing from its onset. "Lilitu" exposes the suffering and oppression of women. Lyrically, BURIAL PATH draw upon religious imagery and ideas that are often used to reinforce patriarchal inequality.

About BURIAL PATH:

Formed in 2023, BURIAL PATH consists of Maya Pobst (vocals) and Christian Caringer (bassist) from Missouri, Nebraskan Matthew McClure (guitar), Nola Veru (drums) from Texas and Martin Rosa III (guitar) from Florida. Their sound is a refined evolution of Deathcore, leveraging modern production to craft an atmosphere that is both entrancing and resonant, designed to evoke deep emotions and provoke thoughtful introspection through their music.

Post-punk torchbearers THEN COMES SILENCE deliver "Judgement Day", announcing "Requiem Ballroom" album

Stockholm-based post-punk trio Then Comes Silence makes a brazen return with their new single 'Judgement Day', a dark and driving anthem that embraces failure, reckless choices, and the thrill of living without regrets. Along with a high-energy video by Damon Zurawski, this song celebrates those who burn brightly on borrowed time as doomsday looms. This is the first single from their 'Requiem Ballroom' album, to be released via Metropolis Records.

Formed in 2012 by vocalist-bassist Alex Svenson, Then Comes Silence has operated as a tightly focused trio since 2022, along with drummer Jonas Fransson and guitarist Hugo Zombie. Together, they have refined Then Comes Silence into its most direct, powerful and uncompromising form.

'Judgement Days' opens with a catchy Euro techno melody, contrasting with the band’s roots and signature sound. A brooding yet danceable collision of post-punk intensity and unexpected Euro-techno flourishes, it paints a portrait of sinners embracing their final celebration before the inevitable reckoning.

"'Judgement Day' was the first song I wrote for this album - an homage to our musical heroes Killing Joke. Hugo came up with the guitar sound early in the process. This song celebrates the wicked ones having a good run til their end days. In some people's eyes, we too are rock 'n' rolling, beer drinking geezers that most likely will be the first to go. So be it. We had a good run," says Alex Svenson.
 
Hugo Zombie adds, "The guitar is inspired by Killing Joke and is a little tribute to Geordie. We haven't played it live, but we will perform it for the first time at M’era Luna Festival in August. It should go well."
 
'Judgement Day' is about failure, bad decisions, and poor behavior - a nod to those who will be first in line on doomsday. The techno element is juxtapositional given the subject matter. Ultimately, the band “fails” by letting something completely unexpected and out-of-character takeover. A swaggering gothic rocker that turns self-destruction and the ticking of time into an irresistible celebration of the wicked,

"We gave a performance in the photo studio when shooting the music video. It was like a regular concert with the extras dancing around the band. People seemed to enjoy being involved in the making of this video - it's easy to dance to and has a good dynamic," says Alex Svenson.
 
Jonas Fransson shares, "We invited a bunch of friends to join us for the music video shoot, and one of them happens to be a 16-year-old Miniature Pinscher. He is almost completely deaf, so he didn't mind walking around the studio while we were playing. The video isn't cut and finished yet, but there's a good chance he'll end up in it."

'Requiem Ballroom' is divided into two parts, the 'Ballroom' mixed by Jon Bordon (Nicole Sabouné, Melody Club, The Exploding Boy) and the 'Requiem' half mixed by Tom van Heesch (Rammstein, Apocalyptica, Backyard Babies). This album was then mastered by Svante Forsbäck / Chartmakers (Rammstein, Amaranthe, Ville Valo, The Rasmus, Apocalyptica). 

Then Comes Silence has become one of the leading names on today’s goth, post-punk and darkwave scene. Driven by a fascination with horror, the occult and the raw intensity of underground music, the band has forged a distinctive sound that has earned them a devoted international following.

With the German post-punk scene their second home, they have, for years, toured relentlessly. Continually expanding their geographic reach, they have cemented their reputation as one of the scene’s hardest working bands. With several releases through Metropolis Records, they have further strengthening their international presence. Their impending eighth album follows ‘Trickery’ (2024) and 'Hunger' (2022), jointly released by Metropolis and Nexilis Records / Schubert Music.

With dark atmospheres, driving rhythms, razor-sharp hooks and explosive performances, Then Comes Silence continue to push forward. They have earned their place at the forefront of the modern gothic rock and post-punk movement, proving themselves to be a vital contemporary live acts with frequent touring across North America, Latin America and Europe.

Then Comes Silence have shared the stage with acts such as The Fields of the Nephilim, Clan of Xymox, The Chameleons, A Place To Bury Strangers, Pink Turns Blue and The Bellwether Syndicate, while appearing at many of Europe’s premier alternative festivals, including M’era Luna, Wave-Gotik-Treffen, Amphi Festival, Castle Party, Tomorrow’s Ghosts Festival and W-Festival.

As of August 7, 'Judgement Day' is available digitally everywhere, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where the latest 'Trickery' album is also available on vinyl and CD. Tickets for Then Comes Silence performances can be obtained at https://thencomessilence.eu

Liverpool's The Room unveils 'Things Have Learnt To Walk That Ought To Crawl', teasing new album

Liverpool post-punk pioneers The Room present 'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl', an adrenaline-fueled blast of melodic post-punk that celebrates one of the band's earlier compositions, now with a contemporary sheen. Reaffirming the relevance of its themes in today's increasingly uncertain world, this is the second single from their third album 'Doom Pop!', released via 9x9 Records, following the lead track 'Drill, Baby, Drill!'. 

Driven by jangling guitars, relentless momentum, and distinctive drumming, the accompanying video was produced by Marco Cecere. In re-envisioning their 1982 cult classic, the band revisits their roots, exploring themes that remain topical today, proving the enduring power of this music, 

Recorded and mixed at Ark Studios in Liverpool, this album was co-produced by Dave Jackson and Steve Powell (Michael Head & the Red Elastic Band, Autour De Lucie, Echo & The Bunnymen).

Favourites of John Peel, The Room was formed by singer Dave Jackson and bassist Becky Stringer in 1979, during the golden years of northern English post-punk. Reforming in 2022 after disbanding in 1985, they are now joined by guitarist Darren Brown, keyboardist Ethan Kyme, and original drummer Clive Thomas. They have since performed at Shiiine On festival and Preston Pop Fest, and have toured or played with The Red Guitars, Blue Orchids, Trupa Trupa, and Estonia with Shelton San.

The Room recorded four John Peel sessions, appeared on The Whistle Test and worked with Television's Tom Verlaine and John Porter (Roxy Music, TheSmiths, Billy Bragg) on their 'In Evil Hour' LP (1984), aside from releasing three other albums ('Bitter Reaction' in 1980, 'Indoor Fireworks' in 1982 and 'Clear!' in 1983. Recordings from Janice Long's BBC Radio One programme and Saturday Live were used for the 1985 release 'Jackpot Jack' EP. 

The Room toured the UK and the USA, and performed with The Fall, The Birthday Party, Bauhaus, Southern Death Cult, Violent Femmes, Tom Verlaine, John Foxx and The Red Guitars. Following the band's split, Becky and Dave went on to form Benny Profane, Dust and Dead Cowboys. Dave has also recorded under his own name and as The Room in the Wood (with Paul Cavanagh).

'Doom Pop!' is The Room's third album with 9x9 Records, preceded by 'Restless Fate' (2023) and 'The Telling'(2024). This a collection of ten hook-driven post-punk songs confronts the anxieties of modern life, balancing political urgency with imagination and nostalgia.

"We aimed at shorter, sharper, more pop-oriented songs than on our previous album 'The Telling', which was a continuous story told in eleven songs without repetition or distinct choruses. The ‘pop’ element mainly harks back to the roots of our music, updating our original spiky, post-punk independent sound with Ethan’ Kyme’s keyboard stylings. Lyrically, it is a response to the current climate of emerging fascism and paranoia that increasingly colonizes all media," says Dave Jackson.

"'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl' is a the only older song re-envisioned for this album, and one of only three 1980s songs by The Room to survive in our live set. We decided to re-record and release it as it fits neatly into our new repertoire with its exhilarating jangly forward thrust, and also highlights Clive Thomas’ unique drumming."

In examining the strange days in we are living, ‘Doom Pop!’ explores the rise of authoritarianism, disinformation, war and paranoia. But it equally draws inspiration from science fiction, horror, and cinematic liminal spaces, influenced by Béla Tarr's films, Tarkovsky's 'Stalker', and a science fiction story, called 'Trespassing', that Dave Jackson is currently developing as a screenplay.

As of August 12th, 'Things Have Learnt to Walk that Ought to Crawl' is available digitally, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. On September 4th, the full 'Doom Pop!' album will be released digitally, on CD and on limited edition mixed eco-vinyl. In North America, both physical formats are available via Darla Records.

BEAUTIFUL SKELETONS Release New Album Pulse/ Line/ Scar August 21st via WURMgroup

Rising alternative metal band Beautiful Skeletons have announced the release of their forthcoming album, Pulse/Line/Scar, arriving August 21st via WURMgroup. Produced by legendary heavy music producer Ulrich Wild (Pantera, Static-X, Breaking Benjamin, White Zombie), the album captures a band unafraid to tear everything apart in pursuit of something honest, powerful, and enduring. Coinciding with the album's release, Beautiful Skeletons will also premiere the official music video for "Myrkur," giving fans a powerful visual to one of the album's standout tracks.

 

More than a collection of songs, Pulse/Line/Scar serves as a deeply personal yet universally relatable body of work, exploring resilience, identity, loss, and the invisible threads that connect every human experience.

 

The band shares, "Pulse Line Scar is a universal anthology of lived stories, brought together by the thin red pulse line that connects us all, the same line that brings us life and the same line that leaves a permanent impression."

 

Set for release on August 21st through WURMgroup, Pulse/Line/Scar showcases a band that has found strength in vulnerability and purpose through perseverance. Every track reflects the tension between chaos and clarity, pain and healing, creating an album that is as emotionally immersive as it is sonically crushing.

 

With Pulse/Line/Scar, Beautiful Skeletons are poised to establish themselves as one of alternative metal's most compelling emerging acts, delivering an album that doesn't simply ask to be heard, it demands to be felt.

 

Stream/Buy Pulse/Line/Scar

Beautiful Skeletons didn't come together cleanly and that's exactly the point. 

 

The band was formed in 2017 after guitarist Einar posted a Craigslist ad searching for a vocalist. What began as an instinctive collaboration gradually evolved through lineup changes, setbacks, and creative discovery. Over time, the project transformed from an idea into something none of the members were willing to walk away from—a defining commitment that became, in their words, a "do or die decision you can only make once."

 

That commitment intensified in 2022 when the band received management support and hit the road alongside Yngwie Malmsteen. The experience offered an unfiltered look at the realities of the music industry and solidified their determination to push Beautiful Skeletons beyond potential and into purpose.

 

Trying to categorize Beautiful Skeletons has never been easy—and they prefer it that way.

 

Drawing inspiration from Deftones, Alice In Chains, Sevendust, Korn, and Nine Inch Nails, the group seamlessly blends crushing riffs, haunting atmosphere, soaring melodies, and modern heaviness into a sound that refuses to stay confined to one genre.

 

That fearless approach reached its fullest expression during the recording of Pulse/Line/Scar. Recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Ulrich Wild at WURMgroup, every song was challenged, dismantled, and rebuilt until it carried the emotional and sonic weight the band envisioned. The process forced Beautiful Skeletons to confront not only their songwriting but also their identity as musicians, resulting in their most focused and powerful work to date.

Guitar Powerhouse JARED JAMES NICHOLS Releases New Video For "Dust N' Bones"

JARED JAMES NICHOLS is stoked to drop a new video for his latest single "Dust N' Bones." The track is taken from his fourth studio album, 'Louder Than Fate,' which was released earlier this summer via Frontiers Music Srl.

NICHOLS comments on "Dust N' Bones":

"Dust N' Bones is an all-out anthem for anyone who lives and breathes good old-fashioned rock & roll. I wrote this one with my good friend Jacob Bunton, and we pulled absolutely no punches. This track has no mercy—just loud guitars, big hooks, and pure rock attitude. Turn it all the way up!"

Watch the Video for "Dust N' Bones" Below:

'Louder Than Fate' was produced and mixed by Jay Ruston (Anthrax, Stone Sour, Amon Amarth, Skindred, and Steel Panther) with additional production by Roger Alan Nichols(Larkin Poe, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown and Hayley Williams of Paramore), 'Louder Than Fate' balances muscle and melody, combining thunderous riffs, searing solos, and emotionally charged vocals with a modern, punchy production. The songs move effortlessly between hard-hitting rock anthems and more reflective, dynamic moments, showcasing NICHOLS’ ability to fuse classic influences with a contemporary edge. Tracks like “Bending or Breaking” and “Killing Time” expand the sonic palette with subtle keyboards and cinematic string arrangements, adding depth without ever sacrificing power.

Since his breakout debut, JARED JAMES NICHOLS has built a reputation as one of the most electrifying guitarists and performers of his generation. Known for his unmistakable tone, fearless playing style, and commanding stage presence, he has toured extensively across the US and Europe, sharing stages with some of the biggest names in rock and earning praise from fans and critics alike.

'Louder Than Fate' is not just an album — it’s a declaration. A record that speaks to resilience, conviction, and the unstoppable force of an artist who plays every note as if it truly matters. Loud, honest, and deeply human, this is JARED JAMES NICHOLS at his absolute best.

The Intemperate Sons Release New Single + Video "The One That Eats You" via FRAME|WORK

Alt-Rockers, The Intemperate Sons, have released their new track, "The One That Eats You," from their upcoming third studio album, Ephemera, set for release in Fall 2026.

 

Some things you carry. Others carry you, quietly, until there's nothing left to recognize — that's the space The Intemperate Sons live in on "The One That Eats You." Produced with Amir Derakh, the track marks an evolution in the band's alt-rock sound, pulling in the post-punk and goth influences that have been living in their heads lately.

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.  

 

WATCH the Official Music Video for "The One That Eats You" Below:

In the sweltering Dallas summer of 2019, before the onset of a global pandemic, The Intemperate Sons were born from blood, grit, and a shared obsession with the ghosts of alternative rock’s golden age. The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys—joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create a sound that’s equal parts searing riffs, haunting harmonies, and unapologetic soul. Think Alice in Chains’ brooding intensity, Stone Temple Pilots’ swagger, and R.E.M.’s poetic undercurrent, all filtered through a ‘70s rock haze that refuses to play it safe.

This isn’t just a band; it’s a family affair, where the unspoken bond between father and sons fuels every chord and lyric. Keith, a Dallas stage veteran, pens lyrics that cut deep—tales of regret, resilience, and the chaos of the human condition. Jake’s guitar lines, sharp yet soulful, weave narratives of their own, while Max’s voice carries the weight of a 25-year-old who’s lived a lifetime in his head. Mark, the groove-obsessed bassist, ties it all together.

The Intemperate Sons hit the ground running, catching the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man”that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) on singles like “Running Man” and “Dust to Dust” and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.

For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation—a reminder of why you fell in love with the genre’s raw honesty and a promise that its spirit still burns. The Intemperate Sons aren’t chasing trends; they’re carving their own path, one riff, one lyric, one night at a time.performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style which has a retro vibe with many guitar driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate on a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and even R.E.M.

The Intemperate Sons are:

Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass)

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

 

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

Saturday, August 29th @ Trees in Dallas, Texas

Today, Cleveland’s unholy denizens of the underground, NUNSLAUGHTER, unleash their new single "Listen to the Lies," taken from the recently released album 'Satanic Chaos Legions,'out now via BLKIIBLK. The new track arrives alongside an official video.

On "Listen to the Lies," vocalist Don of the Dead shares:

"Religion is the biggest, blood-soaked lie ever imposed upon mankind! Rip the blindfold off and use your goddamn common sense, you brain-dead, ignorant bastards! Don't listen to the lies."

Watch the Official Video for "Listen to the Lies" Below:

A constant in extreme metal and an unyielding inspiration for generations of black metal and thrash provocateurs, NUNSLAUGHTER’s latest hymnal of brutality kicks off with a call to irreligious arms and doesn’t let go until the bloody end. Tracks like the grinding “Peukharist”or the uncompromising “Unsacrament” batter the senses like the bastard offspring of Slayerand 'Earth A.D.'-era Misfits, inverting crucifixes while worshipping at the hoof of the ibex.

Having already set fire to the international metal scene with festival appearances across the globe and a European tour on the way, make no mistake: NUNSLAUGHTER’s campaign of world-defilement is just beginning.

On the new album, Don of the Dead shares:

"With BLKIIBLK on our side, NUNSLAUGHTER can ram the black horn of Satan down the throats of every metalhead on the planet, spitting fresh venom and blistering hatred directly into the rotting face of Christianity with 'Satanic Chaos Legions.'"

LED BY VULTURES RELEASES LATEST SINGLE “WAVES“. FULL-LENGTH DEBUT ALBUM TO ARRIVE AUGUST 28TH THROUGH DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

Renowned drummer, vocalist, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Tichy is stepping into the spotlight with his latest musical venture, Led By Vultures, an explosive new band blending raw intensity, arena-sized hooks, uncompromising musicianship, and a fresh vision for modern hard rock.

Known for his powerhouse performances alongside some of rock’s most legendary artists, Tichy now takes center stage as the driving creative force and frontman behind Led By Vultures. The project marks a bold evolution in his career, fusing crushing riffs, thunderous rhythms, melodic aggression, and emotionally charged songwriting into a sound that is both timeless and urgent.

Drawing inspiration from the spirit of classic hard rock while pushing into fresh sonic territory, Led By Vultures delivers music built on unapologetic energy, powerful storytelling, and the electrifying chemistry that comes from decades of experience at the highest levels of rock performance.

The band's latest single, “Waves,” showcases a more melodic and reflective side of Tichy’s songwriting. As he states, “Waves” is a song I’ve had for a long time. It’s a metaphorical idea about trying to find contentment as we travel through life. I had this “Floydian / Zeppish” chord progression I was messing with on an acoustic guitar tuned to open C. My bud Derek Sherinian who co-wrote and played keyboards on it, heard me messing with it, dug it, and said, “that needs The Pipes of Pan!” He immediately came up with the first flute lines. I answered that with the arpeggiated guitar line and a rotary effect. From there we knew the chorus should get big and anthemic.”

Watch the music video for “Waves” Below:

Tichy continues, “We wrote the bridge for the guitar solo with the intent of taking you on a little majestic trip, away from the repetitive, hypnotic nature of the rest of the song. When I started making the Led By Vultures record, Derek brought Waves up as a contender. I instantly agreed and re-recorded it. It’s nice to have seen this song through! The video was shot at El Matador Beach in Malibu by Keita Hagiwara, who also shot the second Led By Vultures video, “Massivity.” We ended up with an overcast day but I think in the end it worked out.” 

Watch the story behind the song here: https://youtube.com/shorts/3_aaVqOLDo8?si=7bAoQjjPVhEwh_Cg

The self-titled debut album from Led By Vultures arrives on August 28, 2026, delivering a dynamic collection of songs that capture the grit and fire of rock’s golden era while maintaining a distinctly modern edge. Fans can expect soaring vocals, blistering musicianship, and a relentless sonic attack designed to resonate with both longtime rock devotees and a new generation of listeners.

The album will be available on Limited Edition Purple Vinyl, CD, and digital formats. A special bundle featuring a personally signed 10" x 10" album flat by Brian Tichy will also be available in limited quantities.

ARISING EMPIRE MEDIA ALERT: Sable Hills Drop New Release

Following the global momentum of their single "Namu," Japanese metalcore frontrunners Sable Hills return with "Scars," an emotionally charged anthem that perfectly bridges the gap between classic and modern metalcore. Combining crushing riffs, soaring melodies, heartfelt clean vocals, visceral screams, and a massive, unforgettable chorus, the track captures the nostalgic spirit of the genre's golden era while delivering the polished intensity of today's heavy music.

At its core, "Scars" is a song about perseverance. Inspired by the marks left behind by pain, loss and struggle, the lyrics transform scars into symbols of survival rather than defeat. Instead of hiding from the past, Sable Hills embrace it, finding strength in every wound as they continue chasing the guiding light. Themes of resilience, rebirth and refusing to surrender run throughout the song, culminating in an uplifting message that reminds listeners their darkest moments can become the foundation for a new beginning.

Musically, the band effortlessly balances technical precision with raw emotion. Thunderous breakdowns collide with intricate guitar work, huge melodies and an anthemic chorus that lingers long after the final note. The result is a song that feels instantly familiar to longtime metalcore fans while sounding unmistakably fresh and contemporary.

Formed in Tokyo by brothers Takuya and Rict Mishima, Sable Hills have established themselves as one of the leading forces in Japan's modern heavy music scene. Their acclaimed albums, millions of streams, international touring, and collaborations with artists including Unearth and Darkest Hour have steadily expanded their global audience. Most recently, "Namu" introduced a bold new side of the band, blending traditional Japanese influences with crushing modern metalcore and quickly becoming one of their most talked-about releases to date.

With "Scars," Sable Hills continue that upward trajectory. It is a powerful reminder that even life's deepest wounds can become a source of strength, wrapped inside one of the band's most compelling and emotionally resonant songs yet.

SABLE HILLS LIVE:
11/3 — London, GB — The Underworld
11/28 — Stockholm, SE — Kollektivet Livet

NEW SINGLE: The Toxhards Unmask “Mr. Clifford”

Theatrical alt-rock oddities, The Toxhards, have released their latest track, "Mr. Clifford", a gleefully deranged anthem based on the true story of Clifford Clinton and the kind of off-kilter storytelling that catapulted their smash hit "ÆNGUS, The Prize-Winning Hog" into millions of views. Out now via Hopeless Records, the brand new track flips the perspective to the corrupt politicians painting Clifford Clinton as a neighborhood nuisance with messiah complex tendencies, political delusions, and a smile that never quite reaches the eyes. Watch the video for the brand new track, "Mr. Clifford" BELOW.

Set against a manic, sing along groove, "Mr. Clifford" finds The Toxhards relishing a caricature of charm gone rotten. Equal parts creepy and catchy, the song builds its world around a figure who promises everything, poisons the well, and leaves the whole block wondering how things got so strange.

Following their previous single, "ALLIGATOR CROCODILE", The Toxhards continue to do what they do best - taking bizarre, specific characters and turning them into something universally entertaining. Weirdly fun, "Mr. Clifford" delivers the band's trademark blend of bite, humor, and theatrical chaos.

Armed with songs about hog gods, suburbia-induced panic, and love stories that fray at the edges, The Toxhards are continuing their Get Destructive Tour like a twenty six stop live wire experiment in how far they can push a rock show before it morphs into a full-blown cathartic meltdown with a mosh pit. Each night promises a slightly different strain of chaos, where the band will be swapping instruments, derailing songs into choreographed (and unchoreographed) bits, and crowd interaction that blurs the line between show and shared hallucination. Fans can purchase tickets now HERE.

What started as a casual hobby project among college friends has since grown into one of alternative rock's most distinctive cult followings. The Toxhards built their audience in the modern way, a breakout TikTok moment behind their single, "How Lucky Am I?" that snowballed into a string of increasingly unhinged fan favorites. First, "Doombop", a genre-blending blast of existential noise that cemented the band's reputation for delightful chaos. Then, "Ængus, The Prize-Winning Hog", a song about a hog deity that somehow racked up over 7 million views across social media and even caught the attention of Hopeless Records, who signed the band in 2023.

Last year saw the release of their debut full-length concept album, "Your Neighborhood", a record that follows a young man's spiral through heartbreak, grief, isolation, and a brush with death that forces an uncomfortable reckoning. Earning widespread praise from Knotfest and The Needle Drop for the band's songwriting ambition, melodic instincts, and insane live presence, "Your Neighborhood" made it clear that The Toxhards are a band with something for everyone and everything for someone.

Stay tuned for more news from The Toxhards soon.

Weathers Drop New Single "Antidote" And Official Music Video via Big Machine Rock

Alt-rock powerhouse Weathers have released their latest banger "Antidote" and the official video. Prior to today, the band dropped "Happy Pills (Higher Dose)", breathing new life into the fan-favorite track "Happy Pills" (via Big Machine Rock). Speaking about the inspiration behind their release, the band shared:

“‘Antidote’ reflects personal experiences with having too much fun to the point of going off the rails. And then finding yourself unable to help yourself, therefore needing someone to help pick you back up even though you’ve hurt them during your downward spiral. We realized early on that the demo of this song captured a sense of vulnerability that couldn’t be recreated leading to most of the song being the original cuts including the vocals.”

Fans will have their chance to see the quartet tear up the stage across the US alongside alt-pop duo VOILÀ and Ella Red, on the theatrically immersive 'Moonbloom' tour, featuring aerial acts, sword swallowers, magicians, and jugglers. The tour kicks off on Tuesday, October 27 in Los Angeles, California at The Fonda, with No Love For The Middle Child joining the lineup for that evening only (ticket info here).

ABOUT WEATHERS

Southern California-based alternative rock band Weathers — lead singer/frontman Cameron Boyer, guitarist Cameron Olsen and bassist Brennen Bates — have been consistently creating finely crafted introspective pop songs heavily inspired by the counter-culture of the 80s and 90s since forming in 2015. The band makes music that speaks to those among us who tend to forget that, regardless of outward appearances, everyone is struggling with something and that no one is alone. Weathers’ story is a tale of growing up, of coming into one’s own, and includes themes of depression or anxiety and the often difficult maintenance of mental health.

They first grabbed listeners' attention with 2016's "Happy Pills," which peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart. Initially, vocalist Boyer and guitarist Olsen met in 2012 while attending a battle of the bands in the Los Angeles suburb of Manhattan Beach. By 2015, they had formed Weathers, recruiting bassist Bates. Signing with RCA Records, they released their debut single, "I Don't Wanna Know," a swaggeringly moody song that drew comparisons to Walk the Moon and The Neighbourhood. Fans followed, and in March 2016 they landed a slot at SXSW. Their follow-up single, "Happy Pills," garnered the band even more attention, becoming the most added track to rock radio in July 2016. In 2018, they issued the Kids in the Night EP, featuring the single "1983."

But the weird part is, we're probably all caught in the same illusion, even when we feel it alone."

Coated in a soothing, colorful atmosphere, "LOST IN TRANSLATION" pairs its understated pulse with Moseley's unmistakably emotive vocal delivery, offering another glimpse into the dynamic and nuanced world that Colorblind have built on their debut full-length.

Philly Hard Rockers HEAVENS EDGE Announce New Album 'Philadelphia' Set for Release on November 13th via Frontiers Music Srl

Following the critically acclaimed success of 'Get It Right' and a triumphant return to stages across the U.S. and Europe, Philadelphia hard rock legends HEAVENS EDGE return with the announcement of their new album, 'Philadelphia.' Celebrating the city where their remarkable journey began nearly four decades ago, the album arrives November 13th via Frontiers Music Srl. The band also shares their new single "What's He Got," accompanied by an official music video.

About the album, HEAVENS EDGE explains:

“This album represents 40 years of our time together as a band. The album has a greater variety of songs than anything we’ve ever done before. This is because we are more comfortable than ever with who we are and what the music means to us. We make music for the love of it, for those who have supported us over the years and for those just discovering us now. It's never too late.”

On the new single, they continue:

“'What’s He Got’ is a simple theme of longing and wanting to be a better person to catch the attention of someone you admire. We wanted to lead with a track that felt familiar and upbeat, with a sound that reminds everyone why they love rock n roll. Let’s not complicate things!”

Watch the Official Video for “What's He Got” Below:

For a band whose story includes major label success, personal tragedy, long periods of silence, and one of hard rock’s most inspiring comebacks, ‘Philadelphia’ represents both a tribute to their roots and a bold statement about their future. Rather than relying on nostalgia, HEAVENS EDGE continue to build on the creative momentum that made ‘Get It Right’ such a surprise critical and fan favorite, delivering another collection of memorable songs packed with hooks, heart, and unmistakable attitude.

Produced by the band with additional production from Jacob Bunton, mixed by Jay Ruston and mastered by Jens Dreesen, 'Philadelphia' captures HEAVENS EDGE at their most confident and energized. From the fist-pumping anthem “LFG” to the infectious first video single “What’s He Got” and the irresistible melodic punch of “Definite Maybe,” the album showcases a band firing on all cylinders, combining classic American hard rock swagger with contemporary songwriting and production.

Led by the unmistakable voice of Mark Evans and the stellar guitar work of founding members Reggie Wu and Steve Parry, alongside drummer David Rath and bassist Jaron Gulino, HEAVENS EDGE prove once again that their second act is every bit as compelling as their first.

Pre-Order ‘Philadelphia’ HERE

Named after the city that shaped them and inspired generations of hard rock fans, ‘Philadelphia’ is more than just a new album—it's a celebration of resilience, brotherhood, and the enduring power of great songs.

Outlier Sign to Oxide Records Release New Single + Video "Digital Hell"

Outlier have officially signed with Oxide Records and are wasting no time making their arrival known with the release of their new single and music video, "Digital Hell." The track serves as both a warning and a wake-up call, tackling society's growing dependence on technology and the invisible grip it has on modern life.

 

"Digital Hell" asks a question few are willing to confront: Are we still controlling technology, or has it quietly begun controlling us?

 

"We built technology to serve humanity. Somewhere along the way, we began serving it. We traded privacy for convenience, presence for distraction, and truth for algorithms. The most dangerous prison isn’t one with walls, it’s the one we willingly carry in our pockets every day. The next false gods won’t ask to be worshipped, they’ll seek your attention. They’ll promise connection while feeding isolation, promise knowledge while drowning out wisdom, and promise freedom while quietly collecting every piece of who you are. 'Digital Hell' is the soundtrack to a world that may not realize what it’s losing until it’s already gone," says Joey Arena.

 

He adds, "Not every apocalypse arrives with fire. Some arrive one notification at a time. We surrender our privacy without resistance, mistake constant connection for genuine community, and allow the things we’ve created to define the people we’re becoming." 

The release comes on the heels of vocalist Joey Arena's guest appearance on Motionless In White's latest single, "Fight Like Hell," further introducing his voice to an even wider audience.

 

Reflecting on the collaboration, Arena shared:

"Thank you so much to Motionless In White for having me be a part of something so special and throw down on 'Fight Like Hell.' I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this banger and the creative process. Absolutely loving the fan response and support. Keep running it up!"

 

With a new label home at Oxide Records and their most ambitious music to date, Outlier are positioning themselves as one of heavy music's most thought-provoking new voices, unafraid to challenge both listeners and the world around them.

 

"We are extremely excited to welcome Outlier to the Oxide Music roster. This is a band with deep roots in the rock & metal scene who align perfectly with our mission of building the next generation of heavy hitters," says Andrew Wetzel, Founder, Oxide Records.

 

"Digital Hell" is available now on all major streaming platforms.

CORELEONI Release Video for New Single "Howling At The Moon"

Following the announcement of their upcoming album Generection and the recent release of its first single, "Generation Rock," which perfectly captured the record's generational spirit, CoreLeoni, led by GOTTHARD founding member Leo Leoni, have unveiled an official music video for "Howling At The Moon." The new single offers another powerful glimpse into their forthcoming studio offering, further showcasing the heavier, more hard-hitting direction CoreLeoni have embraced on their latest release.

Rooted in an idea dating back to the early '90s, "Howling At The Moon" was originally conceived by Jgor Gianola and the late Steve Lee during songwriting sessions for GOTTHARD before being rediscovered and reimagined for Generection. Driven by crushing riffs, a commanding vocal performance from Gent Bushpepa, and CoreLeoni's unmistakable blend of melodic hard rock and metal, the song bridges the band's present with a remarkable piece of their musical history.

Stream "Howling At The Moon": https://coreleoni.rpm.link/howlingPR

Watch the official video Below:

Marking the band's fourth album since its formation in 2017 and the second featuring vocalist Gent Bushpepa, Generection sees CoreLeoni returning to their roots with their heaviest and hardest-hitting record to date.

Built on a foundation of unreleased tracks, the album showcases the powerhouse lineup of Alex Motta (drums), Mila Merker (bass), and Jgor Gianola (guitars), standing as unshakable pillars of the band's sound. While heavier and harder than its predecessors, Generection never sacrifices warmth or atmosphere, especially in its most intimate moments. With the entire band contributing more to the songwriting than ever before, the result aligns perfectly with Leo Leoni's unmistakable signature sound.

The analog mix is one of the defining characteristics of Generection, recreating the magic of '70s and '80s recordings while injecting a modern edge. Razor-sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and just the right touch of sweetness and dimension make this an album that opens a door to the past for younger listeners while reconnecting older rockers with their roots.

Since launching CoreLeoni in 2017, Leo Leoni has built the project into a celebrated hard rock force that bridges generations. With Gent Bushpepa once again delivering a commanding vocal performance and a band firing on all cylinders, Generection stands as a powerful statement of intent, honouring classic rock traditions while pushing confidently forward.

Set to be released on September 11 through Reigning Phoenix Music, Generectionis available for pre-order at: https://coreleoni.rpm.link/generectionPR

The Digipak CD edition also includes a bonus disc featuring the "Live At Hallenstadion" concert, recorded in Zürich, Switzerland, in July 2025 and previously available only as a digital release.

CoreLeoni is:
Leo Leoni – Guitars
Gent Bushpepa – Vocals
Jgor Gianola – Guitars

Crossbone Skully Release Video for "Thunder Love" (Feat. Phil Collen) Ahead of New Album

Crossbone Skully ignite the skies with their brand new single "Thunder Love," featuring Def Leppard's Phil Collen.

Capturing a thunder-shaking midnight encounter between two sinners, the song is a shot of lightning and lust-fueled chemistry, delivering the first strike from their upcoming sophomore album, Condemned to Rock n' Roll, via earMUSIC.

Fronted by Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), Crossbone Skully are a gritty hard rock band, featuring fellow Alice Cooper guitarist Anna "Blackthorn" Cara and a revolving cast of Rock 'n' Roll Misfits. By teaming up with Phil Collen and legendary producer Mutt Lange, Henriksen has crafted the perfect storm on "Thunder Love." 

The track also features powerhouse studio drumming from Glen Sobel (Alice Cooper, Hollywood Vampires), whose thunderous performance helps drive the song's explosive energy.

"I'’s great to be singing with Mutt again," said Collen. "It's a vocal blend we’ve shared for many years, and having Tommy's voice in the mix adds another dimension. 'Thunder Love’''is pure fun rock 'n' roll — loud, thunderous guitars, huge drum sounds, and punchy vocals. Tommy’s got a powerful rock voice, but what really stands out is how versatile he is. He can shape his voice to fit whatever a song needs, and that’s a rare gift. He brings incredible energy to everything he does, which makes him so easy to collaborate with. He and Mutt share the same philosophy: It's all about the vibe. When you get that right, everything else falls into place, and I think that’s a big part of what makes Crossbone Skully unique."
