CRIMSON STEEL Present Theatrical Gothic Offering "Bleed Into One" Ahead Of Upcoming Album Show No Fear

CRIMSON STEEL delve into gothic horror and vampiric mythology in the new single and video, "Bleed into One" featuring guest vocals by James Rivera. The traditional heavy metal band from Raleigh, North Carolina, explore emotive themes of temptation, immortality, surrender, and transformation. "Bleed into One" lands ahead of the forthcoming full-length album Show No Fear is scheduled for release on October 2, 2026 via Heaven and Hell Records.

"Bleed into One" emerges with a dark and enveloping atmosphere. Haunting vocal layers and somber instruments provide a dramatic introduction. Moody and immersive passages are traversed before reaching the track's epic climax. Furthermore, the interplay between Tina Langevin's and guest James Rivera's vocal performance enhances the powerful seductive narrative and ritualistic elements. 

Across the arrangement, "Bleed into One" unfolds with ferocious intensity. This shadowy release sees CRIMSON STEEL venture whole-heartedly into dark fantasy. From the inclusion of Latin phrases to  atmospheric guitar work, the band have crafted an enthralling offering.

Across the album, the band brings together traditional heavy metal force, cinematic atmosphere, progressive-minded arrangements, and emotionally charged performances. The record moves with the scope of dark fantasy while staying rooted in the human struggle to confront fear, endure conflict, and emerge with strength.

With Show No Fear, CRIMSON STEEL delivers an album built for listeners drawn to classic heavy metal storytelling, soaring vocals, driving rhythms, and dramatic musicianship. The production preserves warmth and organic energy while giving the record the clarity and impact of a modern heavy metal release.

SCARHAVEN Share "Clouds" Video

SCARHAVEN — a four-piece grunge revival band originally from Washington, DC but who now call NYC home — just dropped the video for new single "CLOUDS."

"'Clouds' is about a relationship that's dying and how one person is being taken advantage of while the other just disrespects their dreams and goals to better themselves. It's about a dying love and how smoking blurs the lines of what’s real and what isn't," the band says.

 "Clouds" is soaked in betrayal, resentment, and toxic intimacy. Built on a thick, down-tuned, sweat-drenched riff that grinds and churns with raw emotion, the song boils over repeated cries of endurance ("I kept on") and bitter confrontation ("How low"), capturing the ugly cycle of lies, getting high to cope, and one-sided sacrifice. 

With its sludgy grooves, anguished vocals, and claustrophobic atmosphere, it feels like a darker, more personal take on '90s grunge — equal parts Alice in Chains sludge and Soundgarden menace. A raw anthem for anyone who’s carried a dying relationship far longer than they should have.

Live, they're chaos — fury smashing into fragile quiet. Scarhaven — frontman Michael Saint, bassist Jared Edson, guitarist Matt Kilroy, and drummer Shap Shapira — are a middle finger to the polish and pretense of the modern era.

It's the sound of a kid who once hid away in movie theaters, now bleeding through a mic, proving music can drag you out when you're too lost to save yourself.

Bayside Share "Don't Come Easy" B-Side + Announce "Bark at the Moon" EP

Since their 2000 formations, Queens punk rock icons BAYSIDE — Anthony Raneri (vocals, guitar), Jack O'Shea (guitar, vocals), Nick Ghanbarian (bass, vocals), and Chris Guglielmo (drums) — have been the purveyors of heartbreak that you can sing along and sink your teeth into. The Queens' 4-piece consistently craft perfect blends of gritty punk energy and razor-sharp pop hooks, giving the alternative world emotionally raw storytelling wrapped up in punchy catchiness that mirrors the chaotic world we live in.

This summer, the band has been issuing EPs curated and selected by a specific band member, complete with artwork designed by said member. Each collection also features a B-side from 2011's Killing Time that has never been digitally released and was only available via vinyl.

It's time for another Bayside B-side!

Killing Time B-side is "Don't Come Easy," and it appears on the Bark At the Moon collection, assembled by Ghanbarian. Watch the visualizer below.

"Don't Come Easy" paints a vivid and candid portrait of a real American boy trying to figure out who he is and where he fits into this great big world. With its slice of life Americana lyrics, paired with post-hardcore and punk rock's oh-so-familiar three chords and the distinct talk-sing vocal style of Raneri, "Don't Come Easy" is a little bit Gaslight Anthem, a little bit Bruce Springsteen, and even a little bit Taylor Swift in how specific details and information about this American boy becoming a man are so immediate — you'll feel like you know him. It's all wrapped up in a post-hardcore package that only Bayside can deliver.

"'Don't Come Easy’ is the first song we wrote from the Killing Time sessions," Ghanbarian recalls. "I remember being really happy with it and thinking it was going to be a lead single, but after writing more songs for Killing Time, it shaped up to be a bit different. The album ended up having more fast and aggressive songs so the blue collar storyline of 'Don't Come Easy' didn't fit in with the rest of the album by then. It was a tough decision, but we knew it would be released eventually — and here we are!"

Bayside kicked off the B-side and EP series with Anywhere But Here, curated by Guglielmo and featuring "Monster." Watch the visualizer here. They followed with Proxima Centauri B, assembled by Raneri and featuring "Battle Scars." Watch the visualizer here. 

The band recently announced its Fall 2026 tour plans. They will hit the road on a headline run that kicks off September 15 in Fort Collins, Colorado and runs through October 10 in Louisville, Kentucky. Driveways and Grave Secrets will serve as support. Bayside will also appear at several festivals, including Warped Tour, Riot Fest, and more. All dates are below. Tickets and VIP packages are on sale now at this location.

Miss May I Share "Death Threat" Video — WATCH // Band Touring This Fall

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

The band delivers the video for "DEATH THREAT." Watch it below.

 The video is also completely DIY endeavor for the band. The concept was conceived by Benton and produced and directed by William Story and the video was shot at the band's own properties and with whatever they could get their hands on!

The song confronts a harsh but necessary reality so many are unwilling to face in order to grow and learn. And it does so with with groove-centric, anthemic energy.

"'Death Threat' is about being held in an emotional chokehold while someone uses your own flaws against you," declares Benton. "Our darker habits deserve to be seen and worked through, not weaponized. The song walks through that worst-case scenario — someone turning your darkness on you — before landing on clarity; finally hearing what needs to be heard and doing what needs to be done."

Regarding the album, the singer reveals it was a truly cathartic process to write and record it, saying, "No Place For Me is everything I've felt for a long time but never had the words for. Writing it taught me who I actually am even when that hurt to look at. It's a full journey: Where it started, what I discovered, and where I am today." These are the tentpole concepts of the album and are why fans are going to connect with it on a level so deep, it touches marrow.

Miss May I have also announced their Fall 2026 tour plans. They will hit the road on the The Perpetual Iron tour, which is a co-headline trek with Born of Osiris. Convictions and Downswing will also appear. All dates are below. Get tickets here.

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.

From Ashes to New Share New Version of "Die For You" (Feat. Neoni)

FROM ASHES TO NEW are serving up their current single "Die For You," from the recently-released album REFLECTIONS, out now via Better Noise Music, with an exhilarating twist.

The new version features guest vocals from Neoni, the alt-pop sister duo behind the self-proclaimed motto "sisters who argue and write songs."

 Listen here.

"Die For You," which enjoyed a viral moment as the band took a firm and active stance against bullying, climbing the Active Rock Charts and currently sits at No. 15. The song is the follow up to "Drag Me," the band's first-ever No. 1 at rock radio.

The band took an active stance against bullying, which demonstrated the depth of their connection with their fans. The band posted a video of one of their fans singing "Die For You" at a show, and noticed bullying comments being made towards the fan and immediately leapt to her defense. Brandyberry doubled down and addressed this behavior from the stage, reinforcing the fact that the band will not tolerate such antics. The band also reached out to the fan and promised her lifetime guest lists to their shows. 

The track is now available as a new version where the sisters' voices offer a stunning sonic counterpoint to those of vocalists Matt Brandyberry and Danny Case, further amplifying the song's moody melodies and emotional heft.

Watch the visualizer below. 

"Neoni has such a unique identity and brings an energy to their music that we really love," states Brandyberry. "'Die For You' felt like the perfect opportunity to bring our separate sides of the alternative worlds together and create something that feels fresh, emotional, and uniquely ours." 

Neoni echo the excitement, saying, "It was such a pleasure to work with everyone in From Ashes to New to add our perspective to such an incredible song. We had so much fun and we can't wait for you to hear it."

FROM ASHES TO NEW  — Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), and Jimmy Bennett (guitar) — will remain on the road all year, with a massive touring schedule planned.  All confirmed FATN tour dates are below.

Windwaker Share "do or die" Video

Australia's genre-bending WINDWAKER — vocalist Liam Guinane, guitarist Justin Keurntjes, bassist Indey Salvestro, drummer Chris Lalic, and synths/samples specialist Connor Robins — recently announced their third album, smile, you're on camera. It arrives on October 23 through Fearless Records. Pre-order it here.

The band has share the video for "do or die." Watch it below. 

You know those songs that you just can't get out of your head? No matter what you do you, you can't purge it or turn it off? Rather, it insists on taking up real estate in your brain because it's so damn catchy and, well, good? Windwaker's "do or die" is one of those earworms — it takes hold and doesn't let go. With grinding, powerhouse guitar grooves, bouncy, hip-hop-inspired vocals, a sprinkling of smooth and sexy falsetto, and teeth-baring screams, "do or die" courses like an electric current from your scalp down to your toes. Lyrically, the song looks at class vs. culture wars, with the band noting that the track "points out the division we're currently facing and urges the people to embrace the tribe mentality but to unify over the common enemy of leaders who don’t serve our best interests."

"Everywhere we look there is conflict, we are surrounded by it and have never been so divided as a humanity," the band says. "Wars between countries, toxic online discourse over ideology, countries divided over political policy from within, what we think is right and wrong has become a tribe identity and we are at war with one another. Leaders will call it a 'culture war' when in reality it's a way of keeping us distracted from class war that has been happening for decades. 'do or die' points out the division we're currently facing and urges the people to embrace the tribe mentality but to unify over the common enemy of leaders who don’t serve our best interests."

As a whole, smile, you're on camera. ruminates on the weight of time and growth, struggles and sacrifice for the better life and authenticity in spite of a world full of superficial and sinister characters and bad actors. It's a collection of catchy, energetic and heartfelt songs. The album is highly introspective and does not follow a linear narrative, instead presenting a series of personal reflections and snapshots that capture the emotional highs and lows of this period. It's a celebration of how far the band has come and a candid look at the pressure of being seen, leaving listeners with a sense of both resolution and ongoing evolution.

YELLOWCARD ANNOUNCE DIGITAL EXCLUSIVE EXPANDED ALBUM "BETTER DAYS" (DELUXE EDITION) + SHARE NEW SONG "CALVARY DRIVE"

Celebrating a creative renaissance in 2026, multi-platinum pop-punk royalty Yellowcard brighten up a banner year with the release of their brand new, digital-only Deluxe Edition of Better Days on September 18 via Better Noise. Teasing this expanded version, the group also just served up a new and and previously unreleased song, entitled "Calvary Drive," out now.

Pre-order/Pre-save Better Days (Deluxe Edition) here.

Listen to "Calvary Drive" here. 

Watch the lyric video below.

"Calvary Drive" finds Yellowcard firing on all cylinders yet again. It bursts to life with driving guitars, infectious hooks, and the kind of kinetic energy that's become the band's trademark. It culminates on an anthemic chorus spiked with a sunny melody and showcases every bit of what fans have come to love and expect from the four-piece.

"'Calvary Drive' was the very first demo we worked on with Travis Barker and our friend Nick Long," says singer Ryan Key. "We were just getting a feel for working together over a weekend and had no idea that this idea would be the spark for what became Better Days. It’s fun to listen back now and hear where we started, and how much the sound evolved from there.” 

Barker fondly recalls the experience as “such an easy project and easy group of guys to make music with,” with the whole band fully invested in the process: “Everyone in the band was really active and really a part of everything in the studio.” One song became another, a day became weeks, and before long an entire record had emerged from a collaboration that was never originally intended to go that far. “Next thing you know it was like we’re getting back in the studio and we were scheduling weeks to work with each other and recorded an entire album.” What began as Travis Barker simply jumping in for a day had organically become the album Better Days. And it's that partnership that blossomed into a collaboration with another legacy hitmaker: Avril Lavigne.

"My friend Travis [Barker] called me up to say he was producing the new Yellowcard album and I really liked what I heard," Lavigne shared. "When he played me 'You Broke Me Too,' I liked how it can be an anthem people can relate to when finding hope after a relationship." The pairing felt particularly fitting: a song conceived in the spirit of the huge, emotionally charged ballads that helped define the early 2000s ultimately brought together two artists synonymous with that era, with Barker acting as the bridge between them.

The new material notably lands in the wake of the cross-generational phenomenon "Bedroom Posters" (Feat. Blippi). The reimagined track landed looks from Rock Sound and New Noise Magazine, who applauded how, "This version of the song preserves the original's high-spirit energy and Blippi adds his own distinctive spark to it." "Bedroom Posters" marked their second collab with Blippi following "Go Go Go."

At the top of the year, the band teamed up with Good Charlotte for the first collaborative version of "Bedroom Posters." Popping off as a match made in pop-punk heaven, it tallied 2.6 million Spotify streams and vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart. A piece on Consequence applauded how "the song finds Key trading vocals with Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden," while Rolling Stone put it best: "It's the collaboration made in pop-punk dreams."

Two #1 singles coming from the one album, this signals not only a return to form, but a undeniable triumph; a band that still cuts through the noise nearly three decades into their career.

Next up, Yellowcard will canvas North America throughout the rest of August and into September on tour. They make stops at Musikfest 2026, Vans Warped Tour, Oceans Calling Festival, and more. In November, they cross the pond to hit the road in Europe and the UK with Good Charlotte.

Watch the Live Video for "Nail Them To The Cross"

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

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

Cenobia Signs to Fearless Records + Shares "Swallowed By the World" Video — WATCH // Announces EP

FEARLESS RECORDS is thrilled to welcome enigmatic artist CENOBIA to the worldwide roster.

Hailing from Sydney, Australia, Cenobia independently released her debut single "Devour Me" in 2025. Months later, she re-emerged with her second single, "Throne of Want," followed by "Make Us Whole Again." Amidst cryptic ciphers and narrative-driven music videos, she quickly amassed millions of streams, views, and a rabid fanbase. Her rapid ascent has caused many to speculate whether she is real or a product of AI.

But she is, in fact, real.

She crafts music from the dark, without aid, without favor, and without compromise. She simply writes music for someone who will never hear it.

Deeply inspired by her favourite video games, Cenobia has shrouded her art in cryptic lore and immersive visual chapters, cultivating a devoted following: "Her Collective."

She welcomes you in.

Cenobia wil release the Lethal Devotion EP on September 18.Pre-save it here.

Additionally, she has shared the video for new single "Swallowed By the World." Watch it Below:

Cenobia returns upon a dark steed. "Swallowed By The World" is her fourth chapter — a modern metal track that steadily escalates sonic tension through riffs that resonate, haunting melodies, and plate-shifting breakdowns. Exploring themes of internal conflict, obsession, and triumph, "Swallowed By The World" balances delicate emotions with relentless intensity. She has returned to swallow the world whole.

About this latest transmission, Cenobia states, "Cenobia gifts you her fourth chapter, 'Swallowed By The World.' Her end. Her beginning.'A divine awakening is upon us. Her eyes are yet to open.' Devoured whole. A fractured rebirth. She was swallowed by the world, forged in trauma. Her quest to be made whole again draws to an end. Now, her divine awakening is upon us. She is Cenobia. She too will devour the stars."

ENSLAVED - announces new studio album 'Mið' & reveals new track/video 'Solar Will'

Progressive trailblazers Enslaved have officially announced their forthcoming studio album, Mið, set for release on October 30 via Nuclear Blast Records. Throughout their 35 year journey, across 17 albums, the Norwegian vanguard have continually redefined the boundaries of progressive black metal, weaving Old Norse histories and sacred traditions into complex modern soundscapes. With their latest offering, Enslaved turn their gaze toward the fundamental concept of the axis: the middle, the origin, and the infinite reach of the present moment.

Alongside this news, the band have unveiled the transcendant new single 'Solar Will', both a paean to a divine spark, and a testament to the album title’s fundamental concept: a centre whose reach is infinite. It's accompanying video was created by Kolibri Media, long term partners of Enslaved based in Bergen.

Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson stated:
"There have been sun cults as long as Magic Man has been around (at least). The Sun is a nurturing and terrifying parent that can grant as well as obliterate life totally. Such a classic and awe-inspiring object of our worship and myths requires classic and awesome riffs, Bonham-esque drum grooves and blistering melodic flares celebrating its horrific glory. This is what that sounds like to me: “Solar Will”!"

Voicalist / bassist Grutle Kjellson adds:

“Solar Will explores archetypal conflicts, those that manifest in nature, the cosmos, mythology, and, above all, within the human mind. In this instance, the central struggle is expressed through one of the enduring rivalries found in Norse mythology, embodied by two important, though often somewhat overlooked, figures within the pantheon. Readers familiar with the Norse mythological tradition will likely recognize the identities rather instantly, yet I shall refrain from naming them, allowing each reader the opportunity to engage with and decipher the lyrics on their own. After all, perhaps this is one of the essential functions of lyric writing: to invite interpretation and cultivate a sense of wonder? The conclusion, or more precisely, the absence of one, suggests that, for human beings, chaos and dreams are at least as significant as the realities we perceive through our senses. Ultimately, the work advocates not for resolution, but for the acceptance, assimilation, and shaping of these often contradictory forces."

Tickets available here: Tour - Enslaved

Never faltering, Norway’s iconic Enslaved continue to exist as one of the most original and dependable components in our scene's indestructible backbone. Possessing the reputation as one of the most riveting live acts around, they never fail to offer us talent of the highest calibre, always doing justice to their signature black/progressive sound. Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, releasing their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, their legendary mini-album Hordanes Land coming out in 1993, and with their debut full-length Vikingligr Veldi arriving in the spring of 1994.

It’s a rare and remarkable feat that 35 years and now 17 albums in, Enslaved’s horizons still continue to expand. Every stage of the Bergen band’s evolution, every new phase entered, has felt like an organic act of discovery and renewal. Their journey has been at once a commitment to a promise that found its embryonic form in the Norwegian black metal scene they emerged from, and a willingness to challenge both orthodoxy and themselves from the off to make that potential manifest.

Enslaved’s new album, Mið, an Old Norse word for ‘centre’, or ‘middle’, marks another departure, and another new beginning. The band have always dealt in states of transition, nor least on the thematically linked, mythology-steeped rites of passage that were 2020’s Utgard and 2023’s Heimdal. What lay beyond, however, was… unexpected.

Mið is an album that sheds light on harmonies and dialogues embedded all around us: between the ways of the past, and how they can bring enlightenment to the present, between small kernels of truth and their ability to project onto the most universal on canvases, and between band members relying on instinct and each other to create a record that galvanises on every possible level.

SIFYN Announce "Self-Encrypted" EP & A New Era Of Pop-Metalcore

Minneapolis pop-metalcore outfit, SIFYN, pull at the threads of pain, connection, and survival on brand new single, "Code", out now. The track also arrives alongside the announcement of the band's forthcoming EP, "Self-Encrypted", set for release on December 4. Fusing the impact of metal with alternative rock, atmosphere, emo vulnerability, and pop-forward melody, "Code" is an urgent first glimpse into SIFYN's evolving sound. Watch the new video for "Code" below.

Beginning with the flicker of a television screen lost in static, the brand new video for "Code" erupts in a kaleidoscope of color and flashing lights to heighten the track's tension of between the urge to protect someone and the reality that they must find their own way forward. As anticipation builds for "Self-Encrypted", "Code" sets the pace for a new SIFYN chapter that is brighter, bolder, and built around an even stronger sense of momentum.

Reflecting on the strain of carrying the weight of someone else's pain on "Code", founding member and frontman Lukas Magyar shares:

"We can't wait to see how people react to our new sound. "Code" is full of brilliant moments and I think our fans will agree. It'll give everyone a glimpse of what is next for us."

Excited to introduce the next era of SIFYN with "Self-Encrypted", founding member and frontman Lukas Magyar emphasizes:

"Self Encrypted is an exciting collection. We packed a lot of substance into this body of work. I look forward to performing every track on this EP. It's challenging and it's emotional and energetic, but mostly it's just a ton of fun."

Drawing weight from metalcore with alt-rock textures, emo's volatility, and pop-minded melodies, SIFYN have found a way to make heavy music with a danceable pulse. Sharpening the contrast between intensity and immediacy, "Code" introduces the upcoming "Self-Encrypted" EP as a new phase for the Minneapolis band, one that is colorful while unbridled.

Founded by (ex-Veil Of Maya) Lukas Magyar, SIFYN made their debut with "Marionette" in 2022 and have continued to expand their palette with every release. What began as a creative outlet beyond Magyar's longtime work in heavy music became a space to follow different instincts: bigger melodic swings, looser genre boundaries, and songwriting that makes room for both technical weight and straight-to-the-chest emotion.

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

ABOUT SIFYN

For nearly a decade, SIFYN have lived in a state of constant evolution, growing from a studio project into a full-fledged metal outfit comprising vocalist Lukas Magyar, guitarists Mike Green and Dustin Korth, bassist/co-writer Derek Sampson and drummer Avery Frisk. Along the way, the Minnesota-based quintet have developed a similar sonic restlessness, spinning a genre-blending sound that pulls from modern alternative rock, metalcore and early-2000s emo – muscular rhythms, skyward guitars, shimmering electronics and tightly layered vocals all filtered through Cyberpunk-sheen production. But rather than pledge allegiance to any one scene, SIFYN follow their instincts wherever they lead.

That freedom reaches a new level on SELF-ENCRYPTED, the band's new five-song EP and most personal collection to date. Where the group’s 2022 debut, Marionette, often channeled pieces of Magyar's life through fictional characters, SELF-ENCRYPTED fully closes the distance between songwriter and subject, grappling with loved ones in crisis, identity, ideology, dreams, reality and personal agency with the urgency of a deathbed confessional. By narrowing its perspective to lived experience, SIFYN’s music feels more universal than ever, leaving room for listeners to enter the story – not simply observing the band’s search for answers, but asking critical questions of their own right alongside them.

King 810 Return With New Album "La Grande Mort or Silence of God" on 11/27 + Share "Love Kills" Video

KING 810 are knocking at the door once again.

The Flint, Michigan heavy music outliers will unleash their new full-length album, La Grande Mort or Silence of God, on November 27. It not only serves as the band's fourth full-length offering of original new material in 18 months, but you also could call it the spiritual successor to their most-acclaimed and most-streamed 2016 second LP, La Petite Mort or a Conversation with God. Rather than retread the same old ground, they celebrate 10 years since the latter with another violent evolution manifested in the form of the eight tracks on La Grande Mort or Silence of God. It arrives November 27. Pre-order it here.

They signal the dawn of this chapter with the release of a new single entitled "Love Kills" today. Watch the video below.

A dirty riff rumbles beneath entrancing musings from frontman David K Gunnuntil distortion boosts his screams over a head-nodding groove. It culminates on a chantable chorus as he proclaims, "They’re in the company of ghosts. LOVE KILLS." It rolls into the embrace of a final question once he wonders, "Do you love me? Yes I do."

King 810 sink their teeth in — and never let go on this one.

About the track, Gunn commented, "This song is about the most dangerous game us animals play — love. 'Love Kills' reveals there is no ceremonial difference between weddings and funerals. There's a type of devotion that doesn't care whether the other person is alive to receive it. That's what this song is — love that outlives the need for consent from the ultimate authority: Death."

To bring this body of work to life, the musicians—Gunn [vocals, guitar, keys], Eugene Gill [bass], John Paul Vega [drums], and Bryce Ballinger [guitar]—once agan joined forces with longtime producer and creative confidant Josh Schroeder [Lorna Shore] in Flint. The result is a brilliant and bold blood-soaked epic steeped in the lore of a Midwest forgotten by the mainstream, dark magic, and sonic subversion of the highest order, copulating metal, alternative, electronic, hip-hop, and psychedelia into a catharsis of pain, pleasure, and poetry. This is music to wage war, cry, fuck, pray, or change your life to.

This is King 810.

Recently, the group teased the record with "Hungry Gods" at the top of the summer. Beyond amassing hundreds of thousands of streams, it picked up plugs from Lambgoat, The PRP, Brave Words, Distorted Sound, and BLUNT Magazine who hailed it as "dark and atmospheric."

KING 810 are also fresh off an explosive run of the UK and other European festivals. This fall the band will embark on their Autumnal Rites headline tour, with special guests Guerrilla Warfare, culminating in a very special live presentation of La Petite Mort or a Conversation With God in its entirety for the first time ever on October 30 — Devil's Night — in Pontiac, MI.

King 810 are about to break the door down once and for all.

KING 810 LIVE:
9/17 — Louisville, KY — Louder Than Life*

9/20 — New Orleans, LA — Gasa Gasa

Tiny Magnetic Pets explore darker, more cinematic territory on new ‘Astralux’ EP, out August 21

Celebrated Irish electronic / synthwave outfit Tiny Magnetic Pets release their three-track ‘Astralux’ EP on July 21st, boldly reinventing several of their most-loved tracks and blending cinematic synth textures, soaring melodies and electronic pulse. Their musical journey has seen them championed by Blitz Club and Visage legend Rusty Egan, Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark (OMD), and electronic music pioneer Vince Clarke.

The lead track ‘Lost My Guiding Light (Again)’ offers a stellar transformation of the original version into a vibrant new anthem. Reflecting the search for hope and direction in an increasingly uncertain world, inviting listeners to consider what their own guiding light might be.

The ‘Astralux’ EP also features two remixes of 'Low Places', which appeared on the band's 2025 'Harmonious Grey' EP. For this, the trio teamed up with pioneering producer and DJ Paul Dakeyne, whose innovative work has helped shape electronic dance music for over three decades. A Ministry of Sound resident DJ, he has played sets for U2 and Kraftwerk. Endorsed by Paul Oakenfold and Fatboy Slim, he has created 250+ remixes, including for George Michael, The Cure, Tori Amos, New Order, Enya, Soft Cell, Erasure, Nancy Sinatra, Yello, and The Housemartins.

Based between Dublin and Belfast, Tiny Magnetic Pets has become one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary electronic music since emerging in 2015. Here, vocalist Paula Gilmer, keyboardist-guitarist Sean Quinn and drummer Eugene Somers are joined by Seamus Quinn on bass.

Mixed and mastered by Tim Dorney, perhaps best known as keyboardist of Republica, he was also a member of Flowered Up and Tin Gun, this release combines classic synth-pop songwriting with contemporary electronic production, bringing together melodic depth and club-ready energy. With the melodic songwriting and electronic textures that have defined Tiny Magnetic Pets' sound, this EP is infused with adventurous new energy, making a confident statement about where they are heading next.

“When we play live we like to do different versions from the records. Last year, we were asked to play a dance music festival in Dublin, so we re-arranged the opening track from our second album ‘Deluxe/Debris’ for an EDM audience, and it has now become the opening tune to our live shows,” explains Sean Quinn.

“We re-recorded this new version in 2026 and we feel it is significantly different from the original to warrant its own release and slight re-title: Lost My Guiding Light (Again) - a wee nod to Bowie’s John I’m Only Dancing (Again).”

Paula Gilmer adds, “A re-imagining of two of our most popular live tracks for the 21st century dancefloor, the lead track is about how everyone at some point loses their way - in life, in work, in relationships, in faith but the theme carries more weight in 2026 with the whole world seemingly losing its way! What is your “guiding light” in 2026? Morality? Truth? Honesty? Love? Empathy? Compassion? Fill in the blank, post it on TikTok and hope it goes viral.”

As of August 21st, the 'Astralux' EP is available from digital music platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. The ‘Astralux’ EP follows exactly one month later on August 21st.

A Powerhouse Production Team

NIGHTBLOOM was produced by acclaimed hitmaker Howard Benson, whose extensive credits include some of the biggest names in modern rock and metal (My Chemical Romance, Skillet, Daughtry, Halestorm, etc.). Joe Rickard, Neil Sanderson and Henry Flury served as co-producers, while Cameron Pierce Mizell and Evan McKeever provided additional production on “Songbird.”

NIGHTBLOOM showcases Butcher Babies at their most focused and dynamic, combining the band’s signature aggression with soaring melodies and a modern production that pushes their sound forward.

Rick Monroe & The Hitmen Release Explosive Live Version of Motörhead’s “Ace of Spades” ​

Southern rock powerhouse Rick Monroe & The Hitmen unleash their blistering live version of Motörhead’s legendary anthem “Ace of Spades,” available now from their upcoming EP Live From The Asylum via Asylum 1212 Records / TLG / Virgin Music Group.

Recorded live in a raw, one-take performance, Live From The Asylum captures the intensity and unpredictability of the band’s live shows. Rick Monroe & The Hitmen bring their own brand of “Hillbilly Metal” combining Southern rock grit, outlaw attitude and heavy rock power — while honoring the spirit of one of rock’s most iconic songs.

The band’s version of “Ace of Spades” received approval from Lemmy Kilmister, whose uncompromising approach to music continues to inspire generations of artists.

“Lemmy was the definition of authenticity,” says Rick Monroe. “We wanted to honor that attitude and energy while putting our own stamp on a song that means so much to rock fans everywhere.”

The release has also received a major shout out from rock and comedy legends  Don Jamieson and Jim Florentine from “That Metal Show”, longtime champions of hard rock and metal.

Known for their relentless touring schedule and explosive performances, Rick Monroe & The Hitmen have built a loyal following across rock, country, and motorcycle communities. With partnerships including Monster Energy, and Tony Chachere’s, the band continues to prove that independent rock & roll is alive and well.

“Ace of Spades” from Live From The Asylum is available on all streaming platforms.

Rick Monroe And The Hitmen - Ace of Spades (Official Video) Below:

The birth of the Hitmen. For years Rick Monroe has been a solo artist hiring players as needed and doing the Nashville shuffle of interchangeable bands, but during covid everything changed. In 2020, Rick and the band, with Bobby Perkins & Alan Beeler, were set to have an amazing year starting off with a West Coast tour when the world shut down. Instead of everyone going their own way, they all stuck together and started streaming live shows from their basements, garages and living rooms. At the same time Rick and Alan Beeler started a standing Tuesday writing meeting which eventually became the bulk of their current album. Through some mutual friends, Rick met Malcolm Springer and they decided to track a few songs and see how it went. Once in the studio it was obvious that this was quickly becoming more of a band situation and when Malcolm brought Jason Bohl in, the sound finally came together. Rick joked one night about how the band was killing it and bam- someone said “The Hitmen”- and that was that.

Rick Monroe & The Hitmen have long been known for blending heartland rock, classic country, and Southern soul into a sound that feels timeless rather than trendy. With “Our Love,” they reaffirm their place in the Americana and country-rock landscape—delivering a song, and a visual experience, rooted in honesty, nostalgia, and community.
