Heavy Rock Collective THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE Release New Single, "Sister"

Back with another tribute offering to the Heavy Rock and Roll Gods, THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE, spearheaded by Alex Knoll, returns with their much anticipated second single "Sister." Available on October 7, on all major streaming platforms, "Sister" is accompanied by a new lyric video release. Watch Below. 

Surprises are abound with TDBH’s signature fusion of psychedelic hard rock and metal. From the ABBA-inspired strings in the bridge to the blast beat passage during the outro chorus; soulful melody is intertwined with punch, cyclic riffs are intertwined with textures and depth.

The Knoll/Lynne core duo is once again supported by an all-star lineup comprised of Johan Niemann and Rikard Zander (Evergrey) on bass and keyboards respectively, whereas drum duties are handled by Emily Dolan Davies (The Darkness) on this ride. A very special guest appearance by Aarón Serfaty on bongos (Jon Anderson, Sérgio Mendes, Alan Pasqua) sets the tone early for an explosive, prog-tinged hard rocking journey.

The vision for a unique artistic flair to the sonic landscape prompted TDBH to partner with Mixing Engineer Marcus Jidell (Grammy Nominated and Swedish Grammis Winner - Candlemass, Avatarium, Soen) on “Sister”. Mastering is once again handled by Robert Pehrsson (The Hellacopters, Lucifer, Tribulation, Imperial State Electric) at Studio Humbucker.

After the collective’s introduction with their first single "Dragon," "Sister" will leave enthusiastic listeners wondering what may be next. The Devil’s Blind Horse is surely as excited to find out.

Following the recent release of “Dragon,” THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE are embarking on the beginning of an exciting chapter. The group is already gaining buzz for their forthcoming EP, “…Alas, we ride…”, more to revealed anon. 

“THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE is an unabashed celebration of all of the things that I love about music” says Alex - adding: “It is the journey in pursuing the music that I hear in my head... It’s my definition of that perfect collection of sounds and songs, artistically earnest and uncompromising, from beginning to end.”

Knoll, a veteran of the Los Angeles metal scene with a storied past in 999 Society and a brief stint in SPINESHANK, has crafted a unique soundscape with THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE. Drawing inspiration from legends like BLACK SABBATH, DEEP PURPLE, ROBIN TROWER, GRAVEYARD and OPETH, the band’s music transports listeners to a golden era of rock and roll, imbued with fresh energy and innovation.

About THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE:

Founded by Brazilian-born guitarist Alex Knoll, THE DEVIL'S BLIND HORSE is a heavy rock and roll project that blends 60s, 70s, and early 80s influences with progressive metal aesthetics.

LAINEY WILSON’S NEW SONG “KINDA LOVE IT”

Multi-platinum global superstar Lainey Wilson’s new song, “Kinda Love It,” is out today via BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville. Listen HERE and watch the official music video BELOW. 

Written by Wilson, John Mayer, Kid Harpoon and Jon Decious, the infectious, upbeat track explores new sonic territory for Wilson and captures the thrill of being swept up in an exciting, yet unpredictable romance. 

The release adds to yet another landmark year for the 12x CMA-winner and reigning Entertainer of the Year, who will return to host the 60th Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 18. This is Wilson’s third time hosting following her solo debut last year (the first solo female host since Reba McEntire in 1991) and her first appearance in 2024 with Peyton Manning and Luke Bryan. Wilson is also nominated in three categories this year—Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Single of the Year (“Somewhere Over Laredo”)—and recently received the CMA International Artist Achievement Award. 

Additionally, Wilson will join Harry Styles for four shows at Toronto’s Rogers Stadium in May, while her single, “Phone, Keys, Wallet” (feat. John Mayer on guitar), is currently top 15 at country radio and continuing to climb. 

Earlier this year, Wilson released two additional tracks ("Younger You" with Miley Cyrus and "Can't Sit Still"), joined Chris Stapleton for a run of stadium shows and was the subject of an in-depth Netflix documentary, Lainey Wilson: Keepin' Country Cool (watch HERE). Wilson also made her film acting debut in Universal's adaptation of Colleen Hoover's Reminders of Him, before appearing in season two of Netfllix's sitcom, Leanne.

The Grand Ole Opry member is a prolific, sought-after songwriter, who has scored nine #1 hits including “4x4xU” (3x Platinum), “Watermelon Moonshine” (3x Platinum) and “Heart Like A Truck” (4x Platinum), in addition to award-winning collaborations with Cole Swindell (“Never Say Never”), Jelly Roll (“Save Me”) and HARDY (“wait in the truck”). Moreover, Wilson has collaborated with artists such as Reba McEntire, Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton and Post Malone, made her acting debut in Paramount’s hit television series, Yellowstone, and recently launched a new collaboration with MacKenzie-Childs, her fifth collection with Wrangler and her own boot (Golden West Boots) and jewelry lines (The Lainey Wilson Jewelry Collection).

Darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday revisit ‘Call Silence’ with 2 distinct electronic music visionaries

Pittsburgh-based darkwave-shoegaze pioneers Lowsunday present 'Call Silence Remixed', a 2-track released via Projekt Records, involving two artists with deep histories in the dark-music world, each of them finding their own unique way to re-envision the same song. Taking the original 'Call Silence' in radically different directions, together, they create a striking conversation between post-punk, EBM, industrial, darkwave, drone and ethereal music. 

The 'Silent Tribe Remix' by Psychotribe (aka Peter Guellard from DEATĦ B¥ LØVE) pushes the song into EBM and electronic territory, transforming its post-punk tension into something darker, more mechanical and hypnotic. The 'Call Silence' Remix by Sam Rosenthal (founder of Projekt Records and the creative force behind Black Tape For A Blue Girl), uses stark drones, spacious electronic layers and distant vocals to uncover a more vulnerable, emotional and atmospheric side.

Formed in 1994 as Low Sunday Ghost Machine, they emerged as a "retro-futurist" pioneer, blending darkwave and shoegaze long before the genres saw their modern revival. Their legacy was cemented with extended re-releases of their 1996 debut album 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine' and 1999 masterpiece 'Elesgiem' (for their 30th and 25th anniversaries). Having played an integral role in Lowsunday’s history over the years, Rosenthal served as an important catalyst in their return to music in 2025 after a nearly 25-year hiatus, now a duo made up of original member Shane Sahene (vocals, guitar, synth, bass, drums) and Bobby Spell (bass, guitar, drums). 

Their recently-released 'Low Sunday Ghost Machine - Black EP' and preceding ‘White EP' (ranked second in Post-Punk.com's Best EPs of 2025) presents the band's first new material released since 1999. Both a reflection and a resurgence, these Lowsunday releases usher in a welcome return, marked by superb production and a renewed creative clarity, bridging three decades of distinct sonic legacy with balanced doses of escapism, dreamlike sounds, drones and feedback.

Lowsunday also present a stunning noir video for 'Call Silence - Silent Tribe Remix by Psychotribe', starring Shane Sahene and Sereny Welsby. Capturing tension between partners, perfectly set amidst brutalist backdrops like the University of Pittsburgh’s Posvar Hall, this video was filmed, produced and directed by Peter Guellard.  Enormous concrete surfaces, repeating geometric patterns, tunnels, corridors, and overwhelming architectural scale provided exactly the intended atmosphere.

"Peter Guellard is an incredibly driven and talented musician and producer. He takes this somewhere completely outside of anything we would've done and his video offers an entirely different experience. What began as a Hitchcock type drama, full of possible endings and unanswered questions, became something deeper—a beautifully constructed mystery. He has captured its coldness, its darkness, its depth, and its contrasts with awesome precision. The imagery has the power of a still ocean: seemingly calm on the surface, yet immense, mysterious, and full of worlds beneath it," says Shane Sahene.

"Sam Rosenthal’s remix captured a vulnerability we seldom show, bringing a completely different vision. The stark, droning layers and almost percussive reverbs create a palpable mood. He managed to uncover and amplify the emotional sentiment within the song, while making it feel entirely new. It’s been an honor to have our song reimagined by two people we have so much respect and appreciation for."

Bobby Spell adds, "Peter’s visual interpretation is as stark as that particular architecture and surroundings, visually creating a feeling of insignificance and loneliness. The feeling of isolation it creates is palpable and Sereny’s and Shane's characters compound that feeling with their apparent detachment. Peter had a clear vision of exactly what he wanted to do with it".

As of October 9, 'Call Silence Remixed' is out everywhere, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. Lowsunday's two limited edition vinyl EPs and their expanded anniversary reissue albums are also available via Projekt Records' store. Further, Lowsunday's 'She Follows Rain' was also recently released as part of Cherry Red Records' 4-CD boxset 'We Are The Beautiful'.

Lowsunday perform next at Pittsburgh's Brillobox on Friday, October 9. Presented by Play Alone Records, they join Choir Boy., along with Crash Davidian and DJ Krass Advert.

IMPUREZA Release Bass Playthrough for “Covadonga”

IMPUREZA, the Franco-Spanish pioneers of Hispanic Metal, release a bass playthrough of “Covadonga” today via the Season of Mist YouTube channel. Taken from their third album Alcázares, the video places Florian Saillard’s fretless bass in the foreground of the song that recounts where the Reconquista began.

“Covadonga” runs 4:02 and tells of the battle in Asturias whose Astur victory is held to have started the Reconquista. Sung in Spanish, the lyrics climb the sacred mountain with the prophetic king Don Pelayo, set lancers and archers against the Muslim forces, and watch the arrows hide the sun, with the title itself spelled out syllable by syllable as a refrain: CO-VA-DON-GA. The song also carries the legend of the battle, in which the attackers’ arrows turned back on them and rocks broke loose from the mountain to bury them. The fretless bass, one of the band’s signature voices, sits here beside flamenco guitar and orchestral arrangement.

Watch the playthrough of “Covadonga”Below :

“Alcázares”, released on July 11th, 2025, via Season of Mist, is a concept album on the Reconquista, the medieval conflict that ran from 722 to 1492. It moves from Covadonga through the legend of El Cid, Templar mysticism, the Inquisition under Torquemada and tales of black magic. The album was recorded and mixed by Sébastien Camhi at Studio Artmusic and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios.

MPUREZA is a Franco-Spanish metal band formed in 2004 by guitarist Lionel Cano Muñoz from Orléans. Their music is distinguished by a unique fusion of extreme metal and Spanish sounds inspired by Andalusian culture and flamenco, creating an atypical style known as Hispanic Metal. IMPUREZAremains an innovative project in the international metal scene, making it a pioneer of the genre.

Concept:

The entire concept of the band revolves around the voluptuousness of Latin atmospheres, the ferocity of metal, and Spanish culture and history, explored through a fictional and esoteric aspect. Their compositions feature both clean and guttural vocals sung in the language of Cervantes, flamenco guitar, acoustic fretless bass, extreme metal, and orchestral arrangements that evoke the colors of Spain. The very essence of their music lies in the duality between two seemingly opposed musical genres, which, through clever composition, give birth to a new and avant-garde style. Their fiery music is literally the union of traditional Hispanic folklore and extreme metal. These metal warriors brandish their Iberian sounds as weapons with pride. This ingenious alliance is matched only by the singular and unprecedented creative originality of its founder Lionel Cano Muñoz and his compañero Esteban Martín, both of Spanish nationality. IMPUREZA’s conquistadors draw inspiration from their strong identity, which defines the band’s very essence. Often nicknamed the “French Nile” due to their primary influences, combining the complex and brutal lines of death metal with the most ardent and undulating Latin flames. IMPUREZA‘s members are also influenced by many Spanish artists such as flamenco guitarist Paco de Lucía and gypsy singer Camarón de la Isla, as well as bands like Behemoth, Morbid Angel, Krisiun, and Fleshgod Apocalypse, among others.

SOMOS IMPUREZA!

Line-up:
Esteban Martín – All Vocals
Lionel Cano Muñoz – Rhythm, Lead & Spanish Guitars
Florian Saillard – Fretless Bass
Guilhem Auge – Drums

GRAVEYARD - Release Lyric Video For 'Back From The Grave', The Opening Track Of Their New Album "Fever" Which Is Out Now!

Rock titans GRAVEYARD have officially released their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Fever, out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records. Coinciding with the album’s arrival, the band has premiered an official lyric video for the album’s energetic opening track, ‘Back From The Grave’.

Right from the needle drop, the captivating groove of ‘Back From The Grave’ makes it unmistakably clear where the band is headed this time around: a triumphant return to GRAVEYARD’s heavy psych and heavy blues roots. Channeling the electrifying, vintage power of legendary albums like their much-loved classic Hisingen Blues, the track sets an explosive tone for the entire record—drenched in thick fuzz and fueled by a relentless rhythm section while still maintaining their soul-soaked grit.

The accompanying lyric video perfectly mirrors the hypnotic drive of ‘Back From The Grave’, pairing the track's infectious momentum with vintage visual styling that highlights the raw, bluesy swagger of the opening anthem.

Mixed by Pelle Gunnerfeldt—widely renowned for capturing the ferocious live energy of bands like The Hives, Refused, and Viagra Boys—and mastered by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering, Fever captures the unvarnished, high-voltage power of the Swedish quartet at full tilt.

Complemented by the record's bold visual identity created by Dutch artist Maarten Donders, Fever marks a celebrated return to form for the two-time Swedish chart-toppers. To mark today's release, GRAVEYARD will launch a co-headlining Scandinavian tour alongside BLUES PILLS, ahead of extensive European and UK tours throughout 2027.

As of today you can (and should!) stream Fever in full or puchase a physical copy via the link below.

MENTAL CRUELTY Storms the Gates of Valhalla with Epic New Single “Ride of the Valkyries” + Cinematic Music Video by Grupa13

With ‘Echoes of a Forlorn Land’ drawing closer, MENTAL CRUELTY unleashes its grand finale with “Ride of the Valkyries,” accompanied by the cinematic intro “Dämmerbruch.”

 

Serving as the closing chapter of the upcoming record, the two tracks bring its world to a monumental conclusion. Sweeping orchestration and triumphant melodies collide with MENTAL CRUELTY’s extreme metal force, channeling the mythology of the Valkyries and the journey of fallen warriors to Valhalla.

 

The scale reaches another level with the accompanying video. Created together with renowned production company Grupa13 (Behemoth, Amon Amarth), MENTAL CRUELTY’s most ambitious visual production to date plays more like a short Viking film than a traditional music video, bringing both “Dämmerbruch” and “Ride of the Valkyries” to life on a truly cinematic scale.

Watch the Official Video for “Dämmerbruch” and “Ride Of The Valkyries” Below:

Vocalist Lukas Nicolai comments:

“‘Ride of the Valkyries’ is the grand finale ahead of the release of our new LP 'Echoes of a Forlorn Land.' It closes the album (alongside intro 'Dämmerbruch') with heroic atmosphere, bombastic orchestration and uplifting melodies to tell the tale of Norse mythology’s angelic deliverers of the dead.

Symphonic death metal’s epic riffing serves as the perfect soundtrack to fallen warriors’ journey to Valhalla, as well as the battlefield below, where the likes of Children of Bodom, Wintersun and Ensiferum clash with each other and influences like black metal and deathcore.

We matched that with the biggest, most expensive and over-the-top production we’ve ever done, both musically and visually. We teamed up with production company Grupa13(Behemoth, Amon Amarth) to create our own blockbuster, complete with a captivating intro and epic emotional ending. Throughout are stunning shots centered around a historically-accurate Norse village and re-enactors who focus on the time period to keep it true. This is basically our own little Viking movie!”

Stream / Listen to "Ride of the Valkyries" HERE

Produced, mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (Dimmu Borgir, Behemoth, Kreator, Amon Amarth, Opeth), ‘Echoes of a Forlorn Land’ pushes MENTAL CRUELTY beyond the foundations laid on ‘Zwielicht,’ further expanding their uncompromising blend of extreme metal and dark atmosphere. Join their text list to stay up to date and be the first to hear about new tour dates and more.

Vaux Records Welcomes All My Senses + Band Shares "Burning Out" Video

VAUX RECORDS is thrilled to welcome For Collins, Colorado-based band ALL MY SENSES to the roster.

The band has shared the video for new single "BURNING OUT." Watch it below.

"'Burning Out' is an artistic, lyrical, and sonic display of what our band is about," the band says. "Hopefully when you listen to it, you feel the emotion we put into it."

The band offers a modern take on emo, punk, and post-hardcore. Featuring Erich Albrecht, Miles Stevenson, Jarod Ford, and Jordan Pasquin, the band dropped the self-produced EP Conquered in 2025. It paved the way for what was to come and where they are now!

The buzz caught the attention of Craig Ericson, owner of newly formed Vaux Records. Craig had previously worked with Stevenson's Dad, Bill Stevenson (Descendents, ALL, Black Flag), when he was running his former company Rise Records. This led to a record deal and the making of their forthcoming full-length album to be released in 2027.

"Signing All My Senses was a no-brainer," Ericson states emphatically. "The band is hard working and they rule. They remind me of Propaghandi — fast, tight, melodic and powerful. I can't wait to break this band!"

Recorded at the Blasting Room (Rise Against, Hot Water Music), the younger Stevenson took the helm and produced with some help from his dad and Jason Livermore. 

"We are beyond stoked to be signing with Vaux Records and working with Craig Ericson. Craig has worked with so many bands that influenced us as musicians. We’re thankful to be part of the Vaux team," the band says.

Kottonmouth Kings Unveil Music Video for "California Burning", Announce Tour Dates  

Southern California’s legendary rip-hop pioneers Kottonmouth Kings have unveiled the official music video for their single "California Burning", available now via Kottonmouth ReKordz and distributed worldwide through Virgin Music Group.

 

The Kottonmouth Kings are back, and they’re shaking things up with a new era of rip-hop that’s louder, harder, and more unapologetic than ever. D-Loc rolls deep with Judge D, Taxman, and Chucky Chuck, and it’s the youngest members who’ve stepped up to clean house restructuring the business and pushing the kingdom to new heights. 

Hailing from the renegade streets of Southern California, the Kottonmouth Kings have been challenging the mainstream since the ‘90s, building a legacy of freedom, chaos, and cannabis-fueled anthems. Now, free from old contracts, the Kings are ready to take the energy worldwide. The team’s rebuilt with purpose, five of six original music producers are back in the fold: Mike Kumagi, D-Loc, Judge D, Steve Dang, and Jim Perkins crafting beats with big-name collaborations that’ll turn heads.

Country legend Kenny Rogers’ great nephew, Judge D, sings with The Kottonmouth Kings on the song “California Burning”. The song speaks to the state of emergency that California is in. 

 

A deeply personal statement about the band’s home state, “California Burning”addresses the devastating wildfires that have impacted communities throughout California while delivering a message of awareness, resilience, and hope. 

 

"This song is an outcry of hope meant to create awareness about today's issues facing the band's home state of California. Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone affected by the wildfires," says D Loc.

 

The official music video brings the song’s message to life, pairing the Kings’ signature sound with powerful imagery inspired by the realities facing their home state. “California Burning” is featured on the band’s latest EP, also titled California Burning.

 

Following the release of the new video, Kottonmouth Kings will hit the road this fall, kicking off their tour October 22 in Seattle, Washington. The upcoming dates will give fans an opportunity to experience the legendary group live as they continue their next chapter while celebrating their latest music.

For nearly 30 years, Kottonmouth Kings have been the defiant heartbeat of underground rip-hop, blending hip-hop, punk, reggae, and cannabis culture into a movement that has outlasted industry trends and internal storms. Founded in 1996 by Dustin “D-Loc” Miller and fallen member Steven “Saint Dog” Thronsonin Placentia, California, KMK grew from backyard cyphers to a global force, challenging the mainstream with albums like Royal Highness and Rollin’ Stoned. Led by D-Loc’s vision and fueled by a creative crew including Judge D, Johnny Richter, Pakalika and others, the Kings weathered ownership disputes, catalogue sales, fallen members, and lineup shifts, always staying true to their ethos of peace, love, unity, and respect. KMK’s story spans nearly three decades of rebellion, resilience, and reinvention against a backdrop of cannabis culture and music industry shifts.

 

Today the youngest members have the throne and are seasoned for industry success. The legacy lives on with D-Loc, Judge D, Chucky Chuck, and the Taxman. With tours booked and a new EP, the anticipation is building. Come see them live at a show near you!

Now, Best of the Witch brings together highlights from across the band's extensive catalog in a collection personally curated by Jack Frost. This definitive 2-CD set has been completely remastered, delivering the power, precision, and intensity of Seven Witches like never before.

As Frost explains:
"I'm thrilled to see this Best Of record being put out by DEKO... 27 years in the making, I'm so proud of every one of these albums and to see my dream turned into reality through the success of Witches. I'm beyond thankful for all the incredible musicians that have been involved with Seven Witches, and I truly hope that everyone enjoys this landmark release as much as I do. It's been an honor to work with everyone over the years and now to have this coming out for the fans who have stuck by me for this long. I'm still pinching myself and can't believe that I'm seeing almost 30 years of my work compiled into one amazing collection."

Best of the Witch is the ultimate collection for longtime fans and the perfect introduction to the enduring legacy of Seven Witches.

Swedish Symphonic Metallers ELEINE Release New Single "Ich Sehe Dich" + Official Music Video

Today, Swedish metal powerhouse ELEINE drops their new single and music video “Ich Sehe Dich,” taken from their highly anticipated fifth studio album, ‘The Water Taste Of Blood,’ arriving December 4th via Algoth Records / Sound Pollution. 

Where previous singles painted the picture of falling empires of lies, betrayal, and the damage left in their wake, “Ich Sehe Dich” brings the reckoning face-to-face as the most direct statement from the upcoming album. The song thrives on the striking contrast of beautifully melodic verses that steadily build tension until heavy, static, chuggy riffs shatter the calm and a three-word German chorus lands like a verdict: “Ich Sehe Dich.” I see you.

Standing shoulder to shoulder with the ELEINE Legion’s favorite “Mein Herz Brennt,” the track is stern, heavy, and unapologetic. It unmasks manipulation and toxic shame, written for the exact moment you stop letting someone’s lies shape you and the people around you. Unflinching and brutal, it cuts straight through deceit, unveiling an intense, powerful new dimension in ELEINE’s signature sound.

Watch the Music Video for "Ich Sehe Dich" Below:

What began in southern Sweden has grown into a loyal global community united by music, perseverance, and the refusal to give up. Led by vocalist Madeleine Liljestam and guitarist/vocalist Rikard Ekberg, ELEINE have spent recent years building one of metal's most dedicated fan communities through acclaimed releases, including a #1 album on the Swedish sales charts, successful headline tours, and a direct connection with their audience that extends far beyond the stage. 

Along the way, the band has shared stages with Arch Enemy, Kamelot, PAIN, Sonata Arctica and W.A.S.P., while steadily building a headline presence of their own. Their 2024 European headline tour sold out multiple dates and led directly to a second headline run in spring 2025.

Today, ELEINE connect with nearly 700,000 followers across their social and streaming platforms, while their music videos have surpassed 60 million views on YouTube. Now with ELEINE’s new album 'Water Taste of Blood' arriving December 4th, 2026, and their most extensive European and UK headline tour already underway, ELEINE are ready to be heard on the biggest stage of their career and continue to expand the world they have built together with the Legion, their fans, who have grown alongside them and who have become the heart of the band.

Pre-Order 'The Water Taste Of Blood' HERE

Tonight, ELEINE will kick off the biggest headline run of their career, taking their high-adrenaline live shows across Europe and the UK for 31 shows across 13 countries, through London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Warsaw, and Copenhagen, before coming home to Sweden for an exclusive album release show at Mejeriet in Lund on December 5.

Trivium Announce New Album "Crown in the Grave" + Share Video for Title Track

GRAMMY-nominated heavyweights TRIVIUM — vocalist/guitarist MATTHEW K. HEAFY; guitarist COREY BEAULIEU; bassist PAOLO GREGOLETTO; anddrummer ALEX RÜDINGER — are thrilled to announce their new album CROWN IN THE GRAVE. It arrives November 20 through Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here.

Trivium today share the title track, which builds from a gradual progression of layered riffs into an explosive wall of metal, pairing crushing heaviness with the precision, melody, and technical firepower that have defined the band for more than two decades. The song is vintage Trivium — galloping riffs, robust solos, and battering ram percussion, seamlessly sewn together with three-tiered vocals. But like the rest of the album, it stays true to the band's signature sound, all the while pushing it further into new sonic terrain.

The accompanying, Japanese Noh theater-inspired, post-apocalyptic music video brings the album's artwork and themes into a smoke-filled dojo, where the main characters prepare for an impending showdown through a series of tense, atmospheric sequences. Drawing on the band's longtime passion for classic Japanese theater and martial arts, the visual captures the discipline, drama, and focused physicality at the heart of the song's storytelling.

 Watch the video, directed by Pavel Trebukhin, Below:

For the first time, the group crafted Crown In The Gave in their own creative hub and de facto clubhouse—The Hangar—in Orlando. Plus, they officially welcomed drummer Alex Rüdinger (Rüdi) in the studio. During 2015, the drummer nearly joined Trivium, but opted to focus on other endeavors. A decade later, he heeded the call. "It happened when it was meant to," Heafy declares. "Rüdi didn't just kill it on the drums; his contributions as a writer made a huge difference."

Reteaming with longtime producer Josh Wilbur [Korn, Lamb of God] and working with mixer Jacob Hansen [Volbeat, Amon Amarth] for the first time, the musicians rallied around a shared vision. "We took all of the  elements of Trivium, honed in on them, and focused on writing songs with big riffs and big hooks,” notes Beaulieu. "We made the record we'd been dying to make. The late great Shaun Glass [Soil] was a big Trivium fan. He'd always say, "You guys don't cook the same meal.' Even though we use the same ingredients, we always make a new dish."

"Any band who has been around this long starts to ask: Where do we go from here?" says Gregoletto. "We decided to challenge ourselves to top everything we've done. We referenced a lot of '90s albums. If you look at The Black Album by Metallica, Countdown To Extinction by Megadeth, or Superunknown by Soundgarden, the choruses are so important, and the songs are relatable. That's what we strived for."
 
Thematically, Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood served as a north star. Gregoletto brought the film to the group’s attention. "Kurosawa took Macbeth and set it in a feudal Japan," the bassist elaborates. "There's minimal dialogue, yet the storyline is powerful. There are these haunting elements of being tempted by fate and this man's downfall."

Trivium will hit the road on November 5 in St. Petersburg, Florida and run through December 19 in Charlotte, North Carolina for a North American headline run with In Flames, Orbit Culture, Fit for an Autopsy, and Frozen Soul in tow. It is a truly stacked lineup that cannot and should not be missed. Get tickets here. 

"This fall's Trivium tour is a huge one for us," the band declared upon announcing the tour earlier this year. "The lineup is stacked from top to bottom, and we're honored to have special guests In Flames, who not only influenced our early years but continue to prove time and again why they're one of the greatest metal bands of all time. With Orbit Culture, Fit For An Autopsy, and Frozen Soul rounding out the bill, we can't wait to get out there, kick off this next era of Trivium with Rudi behind the kit, and give you a taste of the new music we've been working on. We'll see you soon!"

DARKEST HOUR ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO "WARRIOR" HEADLINING U.S. TOUR DECEMBER 2026

Washington, D.C. metalcore pioneers DARKEST HOUR release their new single and video, "Warrior," today. This is the second single from the band’s forthcoming album, Suffer Divine, out on October 30.

Guitarist Mike Schleibaum comments, “This song showcases our melodic death metal tendencies with a bit of a modern twist. It draws you deep into a fresh yet familiar DH sound. I love the progressiveness of Nico’s solo, the intricacy of Travis’ drum work, Deal’s devastating low end, John’s vocal delivery, and lyrical density. This album is full of both rage and technicality. It’s furious with focused intent, and this song is a perfect example of that in action.”

Vocalist John Henry adds, “Lyrically, this song is meant to reach out to the intrapersonal warrior. The internal struggle is often the most important battle we ever fight. This song touches on the idea of gaining control of your thoughts, actions, and purpose. It's meant to be fuel for action.”

Acclaimed filmmaker Thomas Mignone directed the accompanying video for “Warrior” for DOOM Inc.

Schleibaum says, "The video for ‘Warrior’ is heavily inspired by one of our favorite movies, Raging Bull AND one of our favorite music videos, ‘Mama Said Knock You Out.’ This video is both fun and tough at the same time.”

The band has also announced a headlining U.S. tour with direct support from Judiciary. The dates kick off on December 1 in Austin, TX, right after the band wraps up their run with Fear Factory.  

A bastard child born from the mid-'90s punk, metal, and hardcore movement, DARKEST HOUR emerged from Washington, D.C. with a sound that fused the passion, energy, and soul of punk and hardcore with the speed, vengeance, and fury of melodic speed, thrash, and death metal. Widely regarded as pioneers of modern metalcore, the band played a key role in defining the sound that would become known as the New Wave of American Metal.

Throughout their career, DARKEST HOUR has continually evolved without abandoning the intensity that has defined them from the beginning. Their blend of melodic death metal and metalcore has earned them a devoted following and critical acclaim.  In 2024, the band released its tenth full-length album, Perpetual Terminal.

As AllMusic has noted, "Modern metalcore pioneers Darkest Hour employ an uncompromising sonic attack rooted in melodic speed, thrash metal, and the righteous fury of punk and hardcore."

That relentless approach remains central to the band's identity. New Noise Magazine has praised DARKEST HOUR for maneuvering "with an unrivaled level of dedication" as they continue developing their distinctive melodic fusion of heavy metal and hardcore. The publication also noted that, while remaining true to their punk-rock mentality, the band continues to embrace new methods of expression with each album.

For vocalist John Henry, that longevity is rooted in something deeper than simply making music.

"This has been such a constant in my life that I can't live without," Henry told New Noise. "Any time we ever felt dragged down, something would happen where we would write a song, or we would do a tour, and it'd be, like, okay, we can't stop. This is what we know. This is what we love, and we love doing it too much."

With "Warrior," DARKEST HOUR continue that decades-long journey, delivering another chapter in a career built on intensity, perseverance, and an unwillingness to stand still.

DARKEST HOUR is:
John Henry – vocals
Mike Schleibaum – guitar
Nico Santora – guitar
Aaron Deal – bass
Travis Orbin – drums

OBSCURA - Drops Brand New Video For "The Prolonging"

Metal masters OBSCURA have surprised fans today with a brand-new music video for 'The Prolonging', a standout track from their latest album, A Sonication.
The video was once more directed by Mirko Witzki (Arch Enemy, Powerwolf, Kreator).

The surprise release drops just days before the band heads across the Atlantic to kick off the next leg of their A Sonication World Tour in Mexico.

Steffen Kummerer comments: "The Prolonging became one of the shortest and fastest tracks we have delivered to date — and quickly turned into a fan favourite during the recent tours supporting our latest album, A Sonication. We are looking forward to bringing The Prolonging back to the stage on our upcoming tours across North America, Europe & the UK. See you on tour — and don't miss out.“

Progressive Metallers MAESTRICK Return with New Single "Zion" + Official Video

Today, Brazilian progressive metallers MAESTRICK return with their new single and official video “Zion,” out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

 

The band comments:

“'Zion’ marks the beginning of a new chapter for MAESTRICK. We have a new lineup, renewed energy, and a real sense of excitement about what lies ahead. We’re grateful for everything we’ve created so far, but this song takes us into new territory - and we can’t wait to explore it.”

 

“‘Zion’ brings MAESTRICK’s symphonic side to the forefront, drawing on the cinematic scale of composers like Hans Zimmer and Gustav Holst. At the same time, we’re exploring modern sounds in both the instrumentation and vocals, with electronic and atmospheric elements inspired by artists such as Muse, VOLA, Spiritbox, and Bad Omens,” they add.

Watch the Official Video for “Zion” Below;

Founded in São José do Rio Preto/SP by three friends, MAESTRICK has been active since 2006, and in their sound bring elements of rock and progressive heavy metal, Brazilian regional music, world music, and classical music.

The band has released two albums in Brazil, Europe, United States and Japan, and are recognized for drinking from different artistic aspects - cinema, plastic arts, visual arts and literature – for their compositions, which results in a unique and, according to specialized critics, innovative style.

Not surprisingly, MAESTRICK captivates movie fans, notably those of Tim Burton, George Méliès, Guillermo del Toro, and Christopher Nolan. In music, it attracts listeners of both modern rock/metal, such as Muse, and also of more niche styles within metal, such as Dream Theater, Haken, Jinjer, Spirit Box, and classics like Queen, Yes, and Gentle Giant.

Their songs address everyday complex themes of human nature. The album ‘Espresso Della Vita: Solare,’ from 2018, was rated by BURRN!, one of the most respected music publications in the world, with a score of 86/100 – quite high for the publication's standard. ‘Solare’'s success led to a tour of Europe with nine shows in Switzerland, Italy, Poland and the Czech Republic.

Their latest album ‘Espresso Della Vita: Lunare,’ was released in 2025, showcasing the ability of the band to push the Progressive metal boundaries.

“Zion” now opens a new chapter for MAESTRICK, with a new album coming in 2027 and the band ready to take their distinctive and adventurous sound to an even wider international audience.

Stream / Listen to "Zion" HERE

MAESTRICK are:

Fabio Caldeira - Vocals

Renato "Montanha" Somera Jr - Bass

Chris Oliveira - Drums

Charles Soulz - Keyboards

Gabriel Velloso – Guitars

ABOUT ALCEST:

For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, ALCEST has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, ALCEST seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene ALCEST is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene ALCEST is a weird band- we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

ALCEST is:
Neige | vocals, guitars, bass, synths
Winterhalter | drums

From Ashes to New Announce Spring 2027 Headline Tour + Donate $1 For Every Ticket Sold to Musicians On Call

 FROM ASHES TO NEW  will hit the road on their Spring 2027 “REFLECTIONS” Tour. The band will headline with support from Nevertel, Dark Divine, and Hollow Pact. The tour kicks off March 12 and runs through April 18. All dates and cities are posted below. From Ashes to New will donate $1 from every ticket sold to Musicians On Call, an organization which brings live and recorded music to patients, families, and caregivers in hospital and healthcare environments.

"The 'Reflections' tour lineup is absolutely killer and we couldn't be more excited to have Nevertel, Dark Divine, and Hollow Pact joining us," says singer Matt Brandyberry. "We wanted to bring you this headline tour in 2026, but never had the opportunity to put it together the way we hoped. Now we get to start 2027 off right. Reflections has been absolutely crushing and we already know this tour is going to be insane!"

About the Musicians On Call initiative, drummer Maty Madiro says, "We're excited to be able to take the healing power of music outside of the live environment we co-create with our fans while on the road, into places where it is needed, for people that need it the most. Musicians On Call is a phenomenal organization and it's an absolute honor to be able to support their work!"

In other FROM ASHES TO NEW news, the band recently unleashed an emotionally charged new single entitled "Love Me," out now via Better Noise Music. This hard-hitting yet hypnotic anthem sets the stage for the forthcoming Deluxe Edition of their acclaimed album REFLECTIONS, which arrives November 13.  Listen to "Love Me" here. Watch the official video here.  Pre-order/pre-save Reflections (Deluxe Edition) here.

"Love Me" sees FROM ASHES TO NEW seamlessly evolve, while clinging tightly to the punchy rhymes, walloping choruses, and inventive soundscape architecture that transformed the band from Pennsylvania independent favorites to a Gold-certified international phenomenon who've achieved their first No. 1 single with "DRAG ME" (from Reflections) earlier this year. "Love Me" follows the release of their new version of "Die For You," featuring quarreling alt-pop sister duo Neoni.

The band have been hard at work on the road: Following a great performance at Aftershock last week, the rest of 2026 sees the band  playing to packed venues in Australia, a quick Stopover at Shinedown's Lunatic Ball, and then ending the year with their annual SOLD OUT hometown holiday shows in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania at Capital City Music Hall set for Friday, December 11. and Saturday, December 12. Zero 9:36 and Sage will serve as support.

In 2027, after the North American headline tour, the band will be performing for the first time in years at European Festivals: Slam Dunk Festival (UK), Rock The People (Czech Republic), Nova Rock (Austria), Jera on Air Festival (Netherlands), with many more being announced in the next weeks and months.

FROM ASHES TO NEW ON TOUR:
2026:
10/9 — Sydney, AUS — Factory Theatre

Progressive Metal Project BETWEEN RIVERS Unveil Visualizer For "Freedom Denied"

Combining progressive metal with thrash and death-metal elements, BETWEEN RIVERS strives to balance the monstrous aggression of metal with a somber mood of melody and drama. Created by Stockholm-based Italian multi-instrumentalist Emanuele Viali, "Freedom Denied" is the first offering to arrive ahead of Form Without Soul. The project's debut mini album Form Without Soul will be released independently on March 26, 2027.

On "Freedom Denied" Viali comments: 

"The song is about the contradiction between the idea of personal freedom and the reality of living inside systems that constantly restrict it. We are told that we are free, but every movement, choice, and basic need seems to come with a cost. That sense of restriction also extends to the lack of privacy in contemporary life. The modern lifestyle often demands that we remain visible, trackable, and economically useful at all times."

Musically, "It is probably the most aggressive track on the album, built to feel like a short burst of pressure rather than a long progressive construction."

Emanuele Viali wrote and produced the release and performed all instruments except vocals and selected guest guitar solos. Lyrics on "Brightest Eyes" were written by Viali. Recording, mixing, and mastering were handled by Emanuele Viali and Dmitry at Ozone Hole Studios. Vocal performance, vocal arrangement and lyrics on all tracks except "Brightest Eyes" are by Vladimir Lalic (ORGANIZED CHAOS); Francesco Domenichetti performed guitar solos on "Silicon Paradise" and "Insides"; Fabrizio Milo plays the guitar solo on "Brightest Eyes". The cover art is by Niklas Sundin (ex-DARK TRANQUILLITY

About BETWEEN RIVERS:

Based out of Stockholm, Sweden, BETWEEN RIVERS is the solo project of Italian musician Emanuele Viali. Originally from Terni, Italy, multi-instrumentalist Viali holds a degree in jazz bass, he also plays guitar and keyboards, and programs virtual instruments, and works professionally with music and sound for video games. Before establishing BETWEEN RIVERS, Before Between Rivers, Viali played in the folk metal band BLODIGA SKALD among other smaller projects.

The sound of BETWEEN RIVERS incorporates a wide array of influences and styles drawn from both within metal and beyond its borders. For example, elements of AYREON, DEVIN TOWNSEND, DEATH, NEVERMORE, GENESIS, 90s Disney film music, death/thrash metal, progressive metal, and Italian songwriters such as Fabrizio De André, Franco Battiato, and Giorgio Gaber, can all be heard in the project's diverse sonic mix. 

BETWEEN RIVERS' debut mini album, Form Without Soul, will be released independently on March 26, 2027. "Freedom Denied" provides a first look at the upcoming album.

FENDER & JOHN 5 Announce 3 New Signature Telecasters

Today, Fender Musical Instruments Corporation (FMIC) and the Fender Custom Shop (FCS) announce three new signature Telecasters celebrating the genre-defying artistry of John 5: the Fender John 5 Phantom Telecaster, Fender John 5 Ghost Telecaster and Fender Custom Shop John 5 “Phantom” Telecaster. Each of these Telecasters captures a different facet of his technical prowess, unmistakable style and musical versatility, bringing his signature sound and design to more players across a range of price points.

 

“I don’t know if the Telecaster picked me or I picked it. I was so drawn to that shape,” said John 5. “Ever since I was little, Fender was always just the pinnacle, the greatest, and I just wanted nothing more to have the best guitar for me and have the people enjoy it as well.”

 

John 5’s approach to the Telecaster showcases the instrument’s boundless versatility, pushing its iconic design into bold new territory. Equally at home with distortion-drenched shredding and country chicken-picking, John 5 has spent his career proving there’s no genre, style or vibe off limits. A lifelong Telecaster devotee, his technically demanding, theatrical playing has made him one of rock’s most distinctive guitarists.

 

"John 5 is one of the most distinctive players in modern guitar, pushing the Telecaster across genres and beyond convention, and these three instruments reflect that versatility,” said Justin Norvell, Fender Chief Product Officer, Guitars. “Bringing the Ghost back into the Fender lineup puts his signature design within reach of more players. Together, this collection gives fans at every level a way to plug into his sound."

 

The three signature models translate John 5’s sound and visual style into distinct instruments, from the Fender lineup to the Fender Custom Shop:

 

  • John 5 Phantom Telecaster®

John 5’s hard-rock take on the classic Telecaster. Finished in commanding black with a matching headstock, the Phantom pairs DiMarzio® D Activator™ humbuckers with a Floyd Rose® FRTS2000 Special Series tremolo for high-output tones and extreme pitch-bending capabilities. Its stripped-down control layout, featuring a single volume knob and killswitch, keeps the focus on playing, while the streamlined design pushes the Telecaster into bold new territory.

  • John 5 Ghost Telecaster®

A stripped-back, high-output Telecaster built for John 5’s signature sound. The Ghost continues the Fender line in an eye-catching Arctic White finish with matching headstock, chrome hardware and red accents. A nyatoh body gives this model a distinct feel, while DiMarzio® D Activator™ humbuckers deliver the high-output, high-gain tones John 5 is known for. Streamlined controls, including a single volume knob and killswitch, keep the design focused and performance-ready.

  • Fender Custom Shop John 5 “Phantom” Telecaster®

Crafted by the Fender Custom Shop, this modernized Telecaster pairs a gloss black two-piece select alder body with Ultra Contours and a maple neck featuring a Modern “C” profile, 10"–14" compound-radius flat-laminated ebony fingerboard and 22 medium jumbo frets. A pair of DiMarzio® D Activator™ humbuckers delivers tight, high-output tones, while a Floyd Rose® Original double-locking tremolo enables extreme pitch manipulation with tuning stability. Additional premium appointments include Luminlay® side dots, black hardware, locking tuners and a satin urethane neck finish.

 

Watch The Fender Custom Shop explore the John 5 "Phantom" Telecaster and an in conversation video with John 5 as he walks through the John 5 "Phantom" Telecaster.

In celebration of the new guitar models, John 5 also releases a brand-new song and video for “Phantom” today. See the music video HERE, filmed by Mike Savage and featuring drummer Joey Aguirre. The song was mixed by Barry Pointer.

 

“Phantom” follows the release of John 5’s latest album Ghost, which offered anchor tracks including “Hollywood Story” (about the first time John 5 picked up a guitar and the path that led him to the incredible career he has today) as well as "Fiend," "Deviant," “Moon Glow” and “You Me and the Devil Make Three.”

 

Fans can stream Ghost HERE and order limited-edition vinyl variants of the

album, including exclusive bundles with Ghost T-shirts HERE. Vinyl variants include green splatter, red fire splatter and opaque red options.

This fall, John 5 will head out on tour with solo dates planned in the UK, Mexico, South America and Thailand. Find the full itinerary below and more information at John-5.com.

MIND INCISION Unveils "SILENCE" the Second Chapter of the Bands Three Part Cinematic Saga feat. Zoë Marie Federoff

SILENCE is the second chapter of MIND INCISION three- part cinematic saga, continuing the story established in Y.W.A.War and setting the stage for its final chapter, KILL CODE.

Y.W.A.War was the beginning of the war.

Silence is the moment humanity begins to understand its enemy. Kill Code will determine what survives. have passed since humanity emerged from hiding and walked toward war.

The survivors are no longer running.

They are the Resistance. After months of relentless combat against the Machines,

As the Resistance attempts to understand what they’ve recovered, a distress signal leads them to a massive crater under heavy Machine attack. Trapped inside is another group of survivors led by Zoë Marie Federoff. The Resistance enters the battle, helps destroy the Machines surrounding them, and brings Zoë’s people

to safety.

Jason and his group along side of Zoe's group  make a decision that could change the course of the war: instead of simply destroying one of the massive Machines, they bring it down intact and begin salvaging

its technology.

Using salvaged optics, sensors, and mechanical

components, the Resistance develops crude computerized glasses capable of seeing inside the Machines’ systems. For the first time, they can identify how the enemy thinks, how it functions—and how it can be hacked into, and destroyed.

For a brief moment, humanity reconnects.

Food, medicine, ammunition, and supplies are shared. Wounds are treated. Hope returns. Zoë and her survivors eventually continue their journey, but their discovery proves something far greater: scattered across the devastated world, humanity is still alive—and still fighting. Meanwhile, the technology recovered from the fallen Machine begins revealing its secrets.

The war isn’t over.

But humanity is no longer fighting blind.

ONLY HUMAN Release New Live Video for "Breach"

With their debut album, ONLY HUMAN are on the verge of a major discovery. Critics are praising Planned Obsolescence for its cutting-edge fusion of prog metal, hard rock, electronics and existential dread over our dystopian future.

Now, after storming the stage at Sweden Rock Festival and ahead of their 2027 European tour with Uuhai, ONLY HUMAN are releasing their first-ever live video. Filmed in Copenhagen during the release party for Planned Obsolescence, the band’s chilling performance of “Breach” is further proof that their future is impossibly bright.

“The release party for Planned Obsolescence was so special for us that we decided to document it”, ONLY HUMAN says. “It was our very first time headlining. Performing our new record in front of our home crowd was an incredible feeling. ‘Breach’ ended the evening on an extremely high note! Special thanks to the whole team behind us for pushing the extra mile”.    

Watch ONLY HUMAN perform “Breach” live in Copenhagen below:
