Underoath announces new album

Underoath, the iconic and genre-defining band, has once again shattered expectations with their forthcoming album, 'The Place After This One,' to be released March 28, 2025 via MNRK Heavy. Renowned for their ability to transform chaos into harmony and aggression into anthemic survival, the Florida-based group delivers a record that promises to redefine heavy music and expand their already massive audience. With two RIAA certified gold albums, three Grammy nominations, and a legacy of uncompromising authenticity, Underoath is back—and they’re louder, bolder, and more essential than ever, while continuing to push boundaries in ways that few bands dare.


'The Place After This One' marks a truly momentous occasion in the band's history. It is a stunning document and a remarkable collection of songs, signaling a renaissance period in the beloved act’s storied career. The album showcases where they’re from, and more importantly, where they're headed. It's a masterpiece, from musicians at the top of their game. Sonically, its references are varied and complex, and is a distillation of everything they’ve accomplished thus far: a crystalline vision blending hard rock, electronic experimentation, guttural screams and anthemic, call-to-arms choruses.


Following a string of new singles beginning last year—including “Generation No Surrender,” “Survivor’s Guilt,” and “Teeth”—the band returns today with a punishing new song from their upcoming album, “All The Love Is Gone,” alongside its accompanying music video.

Speaking on the song , vocalist Spencer Chamberlain calls it “...one of the most out-there songs we've ever written. We really wanted to create a track that was drum-and-bass-driven, kind of in the vein of The Prodigy, The Chemical Brothers, Noisia, etc. We also pulled elements from Justice and The Streets. There’s a darkness to those artists that’s so heavy and interesting to me, and we really wanted to embrace that on this song. To me, this is kind of our version of that—sharing a lot of those elements and vibes but still keeping the heaviness of Underoath at its core.”


He continues, “Lyrically, I wrote it from the place I used to go whenever something went wrong in my life, which I think we can all relate to. It's a place I now consciously avoid when things fall apart. But it’s that moment when everything in your life has fallen apart, you’re at the bar, and you just don’t care anymore. Maybe it’s the end of a relationship, the loss of a friend or family member, or you just got fired—whatever it may be, we've all had a night like this. It’s a scary feeling, and it’s a place I never want to go back to, but that’s the song in a nutshell. It’s pretty on the nose, so to speak, but I felt like I needed to write it down to remind myself to never go there again.”

In 2025, Underoath will be visiting Australia for the first time since 2019, performing They’re Only Chasing Safety in its entirety along with an encore set, as direct support for Alexisonfire . Soon after their jaunt in Australia, the band will return to North America for a run of shows supporting Rise Against and Papa Roach as part of their Rise of the Roach tour. The band will also be performing at Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival on May 10, 2025 in Columbus, OH and at Welcome to Rockville in Daytona Beach, FL on May 16, 2025 .

DIAMOND DOGS & CHRIS SPEDDING Pay Homage to Little Richard with 'Macon Georgia Giant' - Out Now via Sound Pollution

DIAMOND DOGS & CHRIS SPEDDING are proud to release their newest album 'Macon Georgia Giant' via Sound Pollution, an homage to the true king of Rock 'n' Roll - Little Richard.

To celebrate the album release, the band has released a new single titled "King of Rock 'n' Roll" which is accompanied by a music video, available to view below.

DIAMOND DOGS may be a bunch of renaissance rockers deeply rooted in the early 70s British rock and roll, but just like their forerunners, they owe almost everything to Little Richard, the architect of it all! It's impossible to even imagine rock and roll without him.

One of DIAMOND DOGS' early tunes is called "Lunatic Eye-Rolling Delivery" which is a line nicked from a concert review of Little Richard, and we believe it sums up the essence of his greatness pretty well. He was much more than a rock pioneer, the way he dressed up and spoke was something the world had never experienced before.

Little Richard got Paul McCartney to write "I Saw Her Standing There", got James Browna new haircut, and put a silly little mustache on Prince!

So, the idea of recording a homage to the true king of rock and roll had been with the band for many years when CHRIS SPEDDING one day called Sulo and asked if they should record something together. Of course, Sulo immediately said yes, and then asked him to join DIAMOND DOGS in the upcoming studio session to record some well selected Little Richard gems for an LP. All said and done, and CHRIS was extra thrilled that his favorite "Send Me Some Lovin'' was among the songs that were picked.

And, on a cold and windy January day, the DOGS gathered with the new old puppy in the sweet premises of Dog Pound Studios, along with their beloved friend and engineer Jonas Åhlén.

The result is a breathtaking and beautiful homage to the king Little Richard. 'Macon Georgia Giant' ladies and gentleman – prepare to get your socks rocked.

SEVEN SPIRES Celebrates 5 Year Anniversary of 'Emerald Seas' with Re-Recorded Version of "The Road" + Music Video

SEVEN SPIRES celebrates the five year anniversary of their acclaimed album 'Emerald Seas' with a re-recorded version of "The Road", which is accompanied by a music video.

"The Road", originally only released as a bonus track on the Japan edition of 'Emerald Seas', has now been revitalized with new recording, mixing, and mastering as well as featuring Dylan Gowan's drumming on a recorded SEVEN SPIRES song for the first time.

About the re-recorded version of "The Road", the band comments:

"'The Road' was a very fun and special song that was originally the exclusive bonus track for the Japanese release of our second album, 'Emerald Seas'. It’s hard to believe it, but now, for the album’s 5-year anniversary, we wanted to give a facelift and update to this track and release it for the rest of the world to enjoy.

"Aside from a couple of orchestral and keyboard parts, this version of 'The Road' is entirely re-recorded, remixed, and remastered, including Dylan Gowan’s fantastic drumming for the first time on a recorded SEVEN SPIRES song. It’s a fitting one, because Dylan basically jumped in the deep end with our recent show schedule, and as you can see from the accompanying video we put together for the release, it’s been nothing but a blast having him on tour with us!

"It’s a fast-paced, technically-challenging, super uplifting anthem celebrating the shared joy of live metal shows, and we hope you love our new version of 'The Road' as much as we loved making it for you."

To end 2024, SEVEN SPIRESembarked on their first-ever headlining tour of Japan with Lords of the Trident.

In 2025, SEVEN SPIRES is slated to perform at Wacken Open Air and Rock in Rautheim in Germany, Leyendas del Rock in Spain, and Legions of Metal in the United States.

The band’s previous touring history includes North America with Eluveitie and Omnium Gatherum in 2023, Europe with Twilight Force and Silver Bullet in 2023, as well as North America with Dragonforce, Firewind, and Visions of Atlantis in 2022. They have also performed at prestigious metal festivals, such as 70000 Tons of Metal, Metaldays, ProgPower USA, and Mad With Power Fest, where they played a sold-out, nearly two-hour headline show in 2023.

TESLA Release Music Video for "ALL ABOUT LOVE" (Electric Version); Announce New Tour Dates! ​   

Legendary rock band TESLA has unveiled the electric version of the music video for their latest single, "All About Love." The track is part of their All About Love EP, which is now available as a special edition release on limited collector's 12" vinyl.

WATCH the video below:

What you will hold in your hands is a one of a kind collectors edition 12” VINYL EP that showcases TESLA’s new song “All About Love” in the three formats that TESLA the band is famously known for: ELECTRIC, ACOUSTIC, and LIVE performances. Multiple versions of this new song are presented here on this EP. 

 

 Music lovers will state that a great “song” will sound great played in any of these formats, so TESLA’s Brian Wheat and Frank Hannon have teamed up to produce this 12” Vinyl EP of their new single  “All About Love” showcasing these different versions of the song. 

 

Captured by Brian Wheat in his upstate NY recording studio, there is an electric version that shows how the band performs the song in full force, as well as two stripped down acoustic versions that showcase the dynamics of his mixes. Thus, Jeff Keith’s heartfelt lyrics about sharing love can be felt and to honor TESLA’s tradition of  adding an acoustic instrumental to their love ballads, Frank Hannon recorded here a new classically influenced acoustic guitar solo piece titled “From The Heart” that is a nod to their 1987 hit “Love Song”. 

 

Furthermore, to present the “live in concert”  element of TESLA, a rendition of "All About Love" segues into James Gang’s classic song "Walk Away", both were recorded live at a Las Vegas concert earlier this year. They are included here as bonus tracks! 

 

Throughout their nearly 40 year career, TESLA the band has performed diligently showing their prowess in these diverse environments. Both their electric and acoustic formats are received with love and acceptance by their loyal fanbase and TESLA the band is still selling out concerts to this day. 

 

 So put on your headphones or crank up your sound system to enjoy this audiophile vinyl treat; the ALL ABOUT LOVE E.P. with special edition single on a Limited Collectors 12" vinyl.

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.

The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s “Signs.” Other 90s albums from TESLA include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000.

 

TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

LOVE IS NOISE Release Debut Album “To live in a different way” via Century Media Records

LOVE IS NOISE release their debut album “To live in a different way” on the heralded metal label Century Media. Already receiving incredible reviews across the board, with Metal Hammer claiming the album is “the first truly great debut of 2025” and scoring it 9/10, and Kerrang! also praising the record.

 After an incredibly busy and successful 2024, this year is set to be another massive one for LOVE IS NOISE. February 14th sees the release of their highly anticipated debut album, ‘To live in a different way.’ With influences from Portishead, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, Oasis, Bowery Electric, Boards of Canada, and Deftones, the band set about to create a record that makes you feel every emotion possible.

Speaking of the album, Cam says:

“‘To live in a different way’ is the story of a kid from Bolton trying to understand the world he lives in. It's 11 tracks full of love, heartache and dream-soaked melody, I believe we’ve created something special.”

He continues,

“What Tom and I have created is the debut album WE wanted to make without any compromise. No matter how well it does, 'To live in a different way' is an honest representation of what a band can do when they push the boundaries. LOVE IS NOISEdoesn’t exist without the listener, and this album brings a form of comfort to your busy everyday lives.”

To celebrate the album's release, the band has shared a new video for the single, "It hurts to know you're there" - see below.

Watch the Music Video for "It hurts to know you're there" below:

Be sure to catch LOVE IS NOISE live in London at their record release show

“A Night In The Capital” which will take place at The Lower Third on February 22nd

LOVE IS NOISE is an exercise in empathy, both lyrically and musically. The band’s Century Media debut, ‘To live in a different way’, straddles the roughshod riffing and volume of their DIY origins while embracing shoegaze-facing melodiousness, hints of Brit-pop, and a beating (and bleeding) heart erupting from Cam Humphrey’s plaintive vocals. Co-produced by the band with engineer Kel Pinchin and mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Drain, The Story So Far), ‘To live in a different way’ is a startling debut album. From the opening track, “Devotion,” where Humphrey’s voice invokes passion and positivity, to the second track, “Soft Glow,” the album’s first single where he croons, “You are the one that shines on me,”before launching into a throat-shredding exaltation of emotion amidst a crushing battery of slashing guitars and battering drums, it’s clear from the onset that LOVE IS NOISE’s heartbeat is a thunderous one.

 

“We made a conscious decision to make the record feel like a live band, mistakes included!”says Cam. “In an era where perfection is heavily favoured, we wanted to do the complete opposite and dive headfirst into creating something our idols would’ve set out to create.”

 

LOVE IS NOISE began its journey in 2021 as a collaboration between Humphrey and former guitarist Tom Mellon (who recently left the band to explore other musical endeavours) balancing the ethereal and intense. While sonic signposts include modern-day shoegaze as well as the likes of Glassjaw and Deftones, the band’s 2022 EP, 'Euphoria, Where Were You?' (released on FEVER 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler’s 333 WRECKORDS CREW) pointed towards a soul-crushing sonic heartache all their own.

A string of singles led to the band inking with Century Media and beginning work on their debut album. LOVE IS NOISE released the first taste of new music with the acclaimed singles “Soft Glow” and “Jawbreaker” which appeared on numerous playlists across the streaming platforms and were featured on BBC Radio One (Daniel P Carter, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton all showing their support).

Southern California Punk Rockers INFAMOUS STIFFS Release the Single and Video "No Static"

Southern California punk rockers INFAMOUS STIFFS have released the single and video "No Static" taken from their upcoming six song EP titled “The Ornery Six”, an attitude that has remained consistent with the band since their first release. Their mix of good ol’ fashion Punk Rock n Roll flares with gruffness and an irritable disposition that is reflected in this new batch of tunes. The relentless, crunching guitars, powerful drum beats and driving bass lines set the stage, while the vocals are spit out with gravelly piss and vinegar and the shot of venom necessary to deliver the goods. A Frankenstein’s monster of influences are defused in songs such as “No Static” “Evel Mann” and “Walk Away”, while the soul toucher “Lonesoul” and the bassackward antics of “Loose Screwz” encapsulate the craziness of the world we live in now. The cover track “Top Secret” pays homage to LA’s own Kaos and Johnny Stingray (RIP) and revels in a classic style of punk rock that’s sure to chip a tooth or two.  So grab yourself these tunes and turn it up loud as you drive 100 MPH or do some toe tapping to your own giddy up while your fists fly through the air. This is an explosion of energy from these 4 punkers from California!

Infamous Stiffs came onto the scene in 2019, just before the world shutdown. Hailing from Southern California cities, the members have spent decades playing punk rock ‘n’ roll in various incarnations... all roads leading to the sonic condition that is Infamous Stiffs. A relentless assault of loud infectious hooks and grooves, that’ll make you shout & shake and make ya move your hips with an uncanny swing!

CRAZY LIXX Share Track "Who Said Rock N' Roll Is Dead" + Unofficial Soundtrack Music Video

Swedish hard rockers CRAZY LIXX are thrilled to release their new studio album 'Thrill Of The Bite', available via Frontiers Music Srl.

To celebrate this release, they have shared the new track “Who Said Rock N' Roll Is Dead,”also out now, alongside an unofficial soundtrack music video, made with clips from the cult classic 1992 comedy film “Wayne's World” starring Mike Meyers, Tia Carrere and Dana Carvey (and featuring a cameo by rock legend Alice Cooper).



On the focus track, vocalist Danny Rexon comments:

“I'm so excited to finally have the album out and this track right here is one I've been dying for you guys to hear. It was close to being a single but in the end we decided to make it the album release day focus track instead. You know, a certain legendary bass player from a certain world-famous rock band recently said that 'rock n' roll is dead' but I'm not sure I agree. Why don't we just let you guys listen and decide for yourselves - Is rock n' roll really dead or is it still in fact alive and kicking?”

Watch the Video for "Who Said Rock N' Roll Is Dead" Below:

Since the latest studio album release with 'Street Lethal' back in the winter of 2021, fans have been eager to hear new CRAZY LIXX material, and even though the compilation album 'Two Shots At Glory' (2024) gave the listeners some covers, fresh takes on old songs and a couple of new tracks, this next studio album is what they have all been dying to hear. 

'Thrill Of The Bite' promises to elevate CRAZY LIXX’s rock music to new heights. Following the success of their previous album 'Street Lethal' (2021), this new record is packed with powerful anthems, memorable riffs and melodies, electrifying guitar solos, and the larger-than-life sing-along energy that fans have come to expect from the band, delivering what is already shaping up to be one of the bands strongest works in their 20+ year career. 

The album features tracks that highlight the band’s ability to balance their nostalgic, sleaze-metal roots with their love for the 80s and early 90s, drawing inspiration from the flamboyant heavy metal and movies of that era alike. CRAZY LIXX have teased a few tracks, suggesting a turn to a heavier, riff-driven style while maintaining their signature melodic choruses and glam-influenced attitude.

 

With 'Thrill Of The Bite', CRAZY LIXX are poised to continue their reign as one of Sweden’s premier retro hard rock bands, solidifying their legacy in the global scene while pushing their creative boundaries even further. 

On the album release, Danny Rexon expresses his enthusiasm:

“So stoked to finally reveal 'Thrill Of The Bite'. Even though we did release some new songs on the compilation album earlier this year, it has been quite a while since the fans got a proper full length studio album with all originals, but now we can finally fill the void. And dare I say that this album is one really worth waiting for? Personally, I'm really proud and happy with how it came out and I think that the response to the two singles we've put out so far ('Midnight Rebels' and 'Hunt For Danger') gives us a clear indication that our fans seem to agree.”

Everyone really liked it and after a few elements were trimmed off and Doug toughened up some of the guitar parts, they all really loved how it came out!!

“Love That’ll Never Be” is a bluesy 70’s Rock ballad reminiscent of The Allman Brothers about a girl who thought the grass was greener until she realises that what she wanted....she already had!!! Now, it’s too late to get it back...” –John Corabi

It’s a timely reminder to be happy with what you have and to love the one you’re with!!

Singer/Songwriter Katie Kadan Releases New Track "I Do" + Debut EP set for May 9, 2025

With one of the boldest, brashest, turn-your-day-around vocals in music, soulful singer/songwriter Katie Kadan is back with another original track, “I Do.” The hopelessly romantic new song released for Valentine’s Day is giving fans a another taste of what to expect from her debut EP set for release on May 9, 2025.  Listen to “I Do” HERE
 
Written by Kadan with Thomas “Tawgs” Salter and Johnny Reid who also serves as producer, “I Do” captures the undying optimism of the heart for what is sure to be an instant classic wedding song.

For the forthcoming EP fans can expect Kadan to keep pulling big emotions from simple, self-penned songs and delivering them with a blowtorch of a vocal. Kadan set the tone for the EP last year with her first release, "Without You.” Pairing a rich swagger and almost-spiritual self-confidence with a propulsive rhythm and stadium-sized vocal, Kadan calls it her “women's anthem” – a much-needed message of freedom.
 
She followed that release with the sultry, “Unless I Fall In Love,” where she finds the self-worth we all need … waiting within. “Sometimes life can be like ‘If I'm not this certain way, do I have value? Am I ever going to have purpose?’” she says. “’Am I ever going to be worthy of love, or will I keep falling short?’”
 
A classically-inspired soul diva for a brand-new age, sharing her growth toward self-respect through the empowering joy of music has become Kadan’s calling – her sense of purpose. A born entertainer and the youngest of four in a church-centered, deeply-musical family, it took Kadan her whole life to find her purpose. But now that she has, it seems almost inevitable. 
 
Praising her “big, loud family,” the vocal phenom learned to harmonize as soon as she could talk and delivered her first performance in front of her church congregation at 3 years old. Homeschooled by a songwriting mother who loved the ‘60s folk revival, and with a father whose taste kept Otis Redding, James Brown and the giants of soul on repeat, music was embedded in Kadan’s daily life – so deep that when she couldn’t concentrate on her studies, the fix was to play some piano and quiet her mind. 
 
Obviously talented, her parents helped a teenaged Kadan join one of Chicago’s top choirs, and they even scraped enough money together to send her to conservatory. But feeling like she had no shot at a career, she dropped out, taking odd jobs and teaching vocal lessons instead. “I was unhappy,” she admits now. “That's not what I wanted to do, but I had no idea how to get into the music business. And honestly, I didn't think I would have a place … because I'm a fat lady.”
 
Needing some joy in her life, Kadan knew where to turn. She found her way to the female owned and operated Underground Wonder Bar and got herself a life-changing gig. Thrilling local crowds with her dynamic voice – an explosive, all-natural mix of raspy soul and gospel power – she made a point to go her own way, performing original songs right from her first night … and people took notice. A producer from NBC’s The Voice soon got in touch, but still feeling unworthy, Kadan turned them down.
 
“I didn't want to do it. I thought, it's kind of a sellout,” she says with a laugh. “I was going to go back to school actually, because I was tired of the hustle. I was going to go for psychology, and I'm like, ‘Music to me is the healer. And if I can't be a singer, I’ve got to help people in a different way.’”
 
Eventually, though, Kadan changed her mind. Determined to give herself just one chance – and feeling like she had nothing to lose – she showed up for The Voice and stood out immediately, taking third place on Season 17 in 2019. Impressing judges and fans alike with her big style, big voice, and ability to leave her heart on the stage each night, Kadan’s joyful personality and clear comfort in her own skin tore through countless stereotypes. She became an inspiration to millions. 
 
“I Do” follows Christmas release “Hey, Mr. Santa” as well as “Without You” and “Unless I Fall in Love,” which will both be featured on her forthcoming, debut EP to be released May 9, 2025. For more information and to stay updated on the latest news and tour dates, visit katiekadan.com and follow along on Instagram @KatieKadanOfficial and @KatieKadan on FacebookTwitter and TikTok

Dela Kay Reflects on Love and Loss in New Single “Anybody Else”

Alt-Pop artist, Dela Kay, unveils her latest single, "Anybody Else," a heart-wrenching ballad that captures the bittersweet nostalgia of lost love. Written October of last year in Nick Cozine’s East Nashville studio, the song was born out of deep reflection and raw emotion, making it one of Dela Kay’s most vulnerable releases to date.

The track was co-written by Dela Kay, Nick Cozine, and Whitney Fenimore—the same trio behind her previous single, "Remedy." "As soon as the three of us got together, we knew we were going to write a ballad," shares Dela Kay. "I was still processing a

painful breakup just a few months before, and with the Halloween spookiness looming in the air that day, nostalgia was all around us. We started to walk down memory lane with my past relationship, coming up with lyrics detailing my first date, then letting the current reality hit when writing the chorus."

Nick Cozine first introduced the "any anybody else" hook, which instantly resonated with the team. "Whitney and I loved it and knew we wanted to keep it," Dela Kay recalls. "With both Nick and Whitney rooted in the folk/indie scene, the melodies we developed felt so organic and real to all of us. Sometimes when you're speaking directly from the heart, things flow super easily, and they definitely did that day."

In an unconventional move, the final vocal in "Anybody Else" is actually Dela Kay’s original scratch vocal from the writing session. "We loved it so much, we kept all of it—it’s the same vocal you hear in the final track!" she reveals.

Sonically, "Anybody Else" evokes the drama and intensity of early 2000s romance films. "It’s kind of giving ‘A Cinderella Story’ when Chad Michael Murray runs up on the bleachers in the rain to kiss Hilary Duff after the football game," Dela Kay explains. "We wanted the verses to feel bare, with acoustics leading the track alongside strings, but then have the choruses come in strong with booming drums and electric guitar swells—absolutely wrecking our hearts."

At its core, "Anybody Else" explores the complexity of love and heartbreak, offering both understanding and vulnerability. "The second verse acknowledges their past and offers reassurance that I’m strong enough to handle their pain," Dela Kay says. "And as painful as it was in the moment writing this song, I have peace looking back. Even though the relationship didn’t work out, knowing my heart has the capacity to love that deeply—despite the pain—is something to be hopeful for in my future."

Dela Kay
, who hails from the vibrant music scene of Nashville, TN, draws inspiration from artists such as The Maine, Maggie Lindemann, Paramore, and Avril Lavigne. “The One” follows the success of her debut EP, Falling Into Place, with singles that have amassed almost 1M streams collectively, and secured a spot on Shazam's Best New Music Apple Playlist. Dela Kay, who identifies as a songwriter first and foremost, believes that the past year of her career has been her most authentic to date. With a commitment to continue releasing singles throughout the rest of this year, she is determined to leave a lasting impression and make her mark on the music industry with her unique voice and perspective.

At the start of Dela Kay’s career in 2014, her electro-pop style began to emerge through a collaboration with Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and producer, Femke Weidema; which eventually led to her first electro-pop/European-infused single release, “9 out of 10.”

Named by Earmilk as an artist who was gifted “with a rich, distinctive vocal style” for her 2018 release of “Make You Mine,” Dela Kay went on to continue releasing singles and garnering hundreds of thousands of streams. In 2019 Dela Kay released “All My Love” through Sony Music, which ended up charting 49 on the top 150 global artist charts for Digital Radio Tracker as well as in the top ten for the Top Independent Charts. After a brief hiatus, Dela Kay marked her return by debuting a new, more alternative sound in 2021 with the release of “The Worst Part,” via Wonderland Magazine, and has been releasing this style of music ever since.

Suicide Puppets Drop "Where Killers Go to Die" EP + Share "Piggy" Video

Suicide Puppets, featuring Twisty Suicide on vocals, Jonny Suicide on bass and backup vocals, Steven Suicide on lead guitar, Invictus Suicide and Z Suicide on rhythm guitar, and Veritas Suicide on drums, have released their devilishly evil new EP, Where Killers Go to Die.

It's perfectly acceptable to ghoulishly gift yourself or your loved one with this music on Valentine's Day!

Get the EP here.
 

At the intersection of crushing riffs, intricate orchestration, and the darkness of industrial goth resides the monolith known as Suicide Puppets. 

The Harrisburg-based sextet has been showcasing their unique blend of metal, goth, and industrial to an ever-growing fanbase. This was captured most recently during their 2021 tour with Soulfly, where they delivered their intense energy and visuals nightly.


Today, the band shares the video for "Piggy." Watch it below:

"'Piggy' is a dark, guttural anthem that pulls no punches," the band says. "It's a raw, unapologetic reflection on the underbelly of society, where every distorted riff and tortured scream exposes the grotesque truths we often ignore — a visceral journey into the heart of despair."


Where Killers Go To Die is a brutal symphony of chaos, where the line between agony and exhilaration fades into a haunting reality. It's not just music — it's the soundtrack to a soul’s final descent. 
 

Suicide Puppets' music is featured in several upcoming indie horror films, including The Boy From Below, Skate To Hell, Deathwoods, Blood On The Bleachers, and The Slasher Nurse.

HANGMAN'S CHAIR - RELEASE NEW ALBUM SADDICTION

Today French doom metal pioneers HANGMAN´S CHAIR release their brand new album Saddiction via Nuclear Blast. Together with the album the band released their new visualizer for 'Healed?' a song where every heavy riff and slow beat reveals the torments of the mind. The harrowing lyrics evoke depression, anxiety, and inner struggles, capturing pain and isolation in an oppressive, cathartic atmosphere.                  

HANGMAN'S CHAIR comments about 'Healed?': "The last song of an album is always a special one. “Healed?” is no stranger to that process, it was thought and written to be the final act of Saddiction since the beginning and it sums up all the themes of the album. It’s a classic Hangman’s Chair tune, that opens a new chapter. The question mark at the end leaves you the choice, are you healed or just denying?"    

About Saddiction: "Feeling depressed on St Valentine’s Day? February 14th is the perfect day to release our new album when the ultra-modern solitude of big cities starts to kick in.
Saddiction or 9 ways to say I love you. Now, please don’t blame us for your saddiction, It has always been here."

W.A.S.P. - BONUS TRACKS and B-SIDES Digital Release Out Now on All Digital Platforms

Madfish Music announces the digital release of Bonus Tracks & B-Sides from the W.A.S.P. The 7 Savage boxset.

 

Purchase or stream the digital release of Bonus Tracks & B-Sides - https://orcd.co/wasp_bonus_listen


W.A.S.P. has always been a band that embraced the raw power of heavy metal while pushing the boundaries of its creative vision. Bonus Tracks & B-Sides, the final disc in The 7 Savage box set, is a treasure trove for die-hard fans, offering a glimpse into the unpolished, experimental, and daring side of W.A.S.P. This collection compiles rare tracks, dynamic covers, and deep cuts that showcase the band’s versatility and passion for their craft.

Kicking off with the incendiary “Animal (F**k Like A Beast),” the disc immediately reminds us why W.A.S.P. carved their name into the annals of rock history. This controversial anthem, unapologetically provocative, set the tone for the band’s rebellious spirit.

Among the gems, “Paint It Black” and “Mississippi Queen” highlight the band's knack for reinterpreting classics with a ferocious metal edge, paying homage to their influences while making the tracks undeniably their own. Similarly, their take on Jethro Tull’s “Locomotive Breath” and Led Zeppelin’s “When The Levee Breaks” demonstrates their ability to merge technical mastery with unrelenting energy.

Original tracks like “Savage” and “Flesh and Fire” ooze with the raw, theatrical intensity that defines W.A.S.P.’s signature sound, while “D.B. Blues” offers a playful departure into an unexpected, almost tongue-in-cheek territory.

The haunting “Phantoms In The Mirror” and the reflective “The Eulogy” offer a darker, more introspective tone, contrasting beautifully with the thunderous “War Cry.” And then there’s “The Story Of Jonathan (Prologue To The Crimson Idol),” a sprawling 16-minute opus that provides a deeper dive into the conceptual world of The Crimson Idol, revealing the depth of Blackie Lawless’s storytelling ambition.

Bonus Tracks & B-Sides isn’t just a collection of outtakes—it’s a celebration of the chaos, creativity, and charisma that made W.A.S.P. one of the most electrifying bands in rock history.

Crank it up and let the beast roar one more time.
 
BraveWords, Sleaze Roxx, Metal Insider and The Metal Voice all picked the Album ONE Alive tour as one of the best tours in 2024. W.A.S.P. are bringing the Album ONE Alive tour to South America, Europe and the UK in 2025. Dates and tickets are available at WASPnation.com/tour

About W.A.S.P.
Few Bands in the history of Rock N’ Roll have ever incited the love, the hate, the raw emotional effect this Band has had on the world. From the very beginning, in the small venues of Los Angeles California, and later to the numerous countries worldwide that banned these Winged Assassins from performing live, the Band’s unique style of Shock and Rock caused Religious organizations, Local City Councils, Parliaments, and the Washington D.C. Senate to hold hearings in an effort to bar this group from selling records and trashing stages everywhere they played.

The band’s founding member, frontman Blackie Lawless, has led the group as its lead vocalist and primary songwriter since its beginning. His unique brand of visual, social and political comment took the group to worldwide heights and sold millions of records alongside a legacy of sold out shows across the globe for 4 decades.

Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne release Epic New Single! ​   

On the heels of the tremendous success of The Morrison Project and #1 song "Crack Cocaine", rock guitarist Billy Morrison and Ozzy Osbourne release an epic new single "Gods of Rock N Roll" today, Valentine's Day,  through TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. Fans got their first listen when Ozzy's Boneyard on Sirius XM premiered the song on January 17th, and now the song is already a Top 20 Billboard Mainstream Rock hit coming in at #18 this week!!

“Ozzy and I have breathed new life into what we always felt was a huge song. GODS OF ROCK N ROLL was written ten years ago in a South American hotel room, but with this re-recording we both feel we have finally made the song what it was always meant to be - a huge emotive ballad," says Morrison.
 

He adds, “A huge portion of the song was completely re-recorded, the 61 piece Budapest Scoring Orchestra recorded the orchestral score composed by Fred Coury, and then the John Burroughs High School choir were added. Barry Pointer had the unenviable task of mixing 132 tracks and he did an incredible job. The end result is what happens when Ozzy Osbourne makes some suggestions, and Billy Morrison listens!”

 

The orchestral score was composed and arranged by Fred Coury, and the song was mixed by Barry Pointer and mastered by David Donnelly. The recording features the renowned Budapest Scoring Orchestra. ”Gods of Rock N Roll" showcases the talents of Billy Morrison on guitar, Ozzy Osbourne on vocals, and Steve Stevens on lead guitar.

 

The video premiered worldwide on Kerrang! today!

Morrison states, "Having the opportunity to include everyone that was involved in the making of Gods of Rock ‘n’ Roll and shoot it all for the video at NRG Studios was a dream come true for me. It was an amazing vibe, Ivo the Director captured the intimacy, and the fun that we had, and I believe the video truly represents the spirit of the song that Ozzy and I wrote. It’s wide reaching, cinematic and shows just how amazing Ozzy is to work with. I’m honored to be putting this out into the world."

 

Ozzy told Kerrang!, “Billy and I wrote GODS OF ROCK N ROLL together in a hotel room while I was touring in South America about 10 years ago.  This re-recorded version of the song finally has all the bells and whistles.  I told Billy then that it needed an orchestra and a choir, but it took 10 FUCKING YEARS for him to listen to me."

 

STREAM "Gods of Rock N Roll"

To add to the excitement, Morrison is set to release a deluxe digital edition of The Morrison Project album on February 21st.  This special edition will be released through TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. The deluxe edition features six previously unreleased bonus tracks, including "Gods of Rock N Roll."  There is also a “stripped down” mix of just the orchestra and Ozzy that will be available soon.

 

Morrison explains, “I have always wanted the opportunity to do an expanded, 'Deluxe' version of a record. It’s basically where you get to have some fun, remix some things, and include songs that mean something personal. Thanks to the guys at TLG ZOID, I have been given that opportunity! So to have YOUTH from KILLING JOKE actually mix an amazing dub version of We Are The Dead, to have JEFF LANE throw down an incredibly different remix of Crack Cocaine, and to have my track with Cypress Hill all on the extra disc is just a fantastic feeling! Plus I got the opportunity to remix Dystopia myself and did the whole half-time vibe that I was originally playing with, back when I wrote it."
