IMMINENT SONIC DESTRUCTION (ISD), hailing from Metro Detroit, have carved out their niche in the metal world with their signature Progressive Super Metal sound. Since their debut album 'Recurring Themes' (2012), produced by Roy Z, the band has toured with the likes of Pain of Salvation, Kingcrow, Fates Warning, and Circus Maximus, steadily building their reputation.

After their critically acclaimed concept album 'Triumphia' and their emotional third release 'The Sun Will Always Set', ISD are set to return in 2025 with their fourth album, 'Floodgate', once again produced by Nick Hagen. 'Floodgate' promises a dynamic mix of concise, heavy, and epic tracks, rich with vocal harmonies and standout performances from every member. This album pushes the band’s progressive metal songwriting even further, marking another milestone in their evolution.

About the album, Piccoli states:

"'Floodgate' is the idea that after a significant event in life, artists and musicians alike tend to open up the floodgate of creativity and let it all out. This album is a celebration of that floodgate opening up. We’re super proud of this one, and we hope you’ll enjoy the different paths this album will take you.”

Danish Musical Virtuoso NICKLAS SONNE Announces New Album ‘Electric Dream’ Set For Release On June 27th, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, Danish musical virtuoso NICKLAS SONNE is excited to announce the release of his new studio album, 'Electric Dreams,' due out on June 27, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition, following his latest singles “Route 65” and “Limitless,” SONNE has unveiled the album’s title track along with an accompanying lyric video, which you can view below.

Talking about the title track, NICKLAS SONNE commented:

“'Electric Dreams' tells the story of that fleeting, electric connection - the kind that leaves your mind spinning long after the moment has passed. It’s about being completely drawn to someone you barely know, and the haunting question that lingers: did she feel it too, or was I just another guy in a bar?”

Describing the album, he added:

“This record is a deeply personal journey back to where it all began for me - to the raw energy and spirit of my earliest musical inspirations. It blends the soul of old school hard rock with the punch and clarity of a modern production, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and new."

Watch the Lyric Video for “Electric Dreams"

NICKLAS SONNE is a Danish musician, vocalist, guitarist, and producer known for his powerful presence in progressive and heavy metal. He began his musical journey as a drummer before moving on to guitar and ultimately becoming a singer-songwriter in a variety of metal and hard rock projects—starting with Defecto, one of Denmark’s leading metal bands, formed in 2010.

In addition to Defecto, NICKLAS is part of Aries Descendant alongside Jonah Weingarten(Pyramaze, Catalyst Crime). The dynamic duo released their debut album via Frontiers Music Srl on October 18th, 2024. It’s a groundbreaking project that seamlessly fuses the evocative allure of film music with the raw power of heavy metal, creating an auditory experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.

A multi-instrumentalist from an early age, NICKLAS honed his skills by playing along to Metallica and Dream Theater, later diving into songwriting and production. His talent quickly gained industry attention, leading to collaborations with renowned producers Jan Langhoff(Aqua) and Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). This pivotal period helped shape his signature sound—progressive metal infused with orchestral and choral elements.

Other bands SONNE has been involved with include Evil Masquerade, Theory, Hank Shermann, One Machine, Waving Memories, Section A, Metallica Jam, Wasted, and Omvendt Korstog. His long career has included international tours in countries such as Japan and support slots for metal heavyweights like Metallica and Rammstein.

With a relentless work ethic and a passion for musical innovation, NICKLAS SONNE continues to push the boundaries of modern metal, cementing his reputation as one of the most dynamic artists in the genre today. His solo album is a collection of songs that showcases the immense talent of this artist—who also handled production duties himself.

Ian Munsick Releases 3rd Studio Album, ‘Eagle Feather’

When Wyoming native Ian Munsick performed his sold-out Red Rocks Amphitheatre debut last year, a surprise on-stage adoption by the Crow Tribe moved him to his core, setting him on a creative trajectory toward his third album. Inspired by the gifts his Native friends presented him that night, including an eagle feather he proudly wears in his hat, the concept and title of Eagle Feather was born.
 
Listen to Eagle Feather, available everywhere now, HERE.
 
Eagle Feather is the culmination of a three-part thematic trilogy where Munsick used animals as inspirational spirits, which started with Coyote Cry, his debut album. With the eagle feather representing honor, strength and wisdom, it highlights Munsick’s personal growth through life experiences and lessons learned that have shaped him into who he is. 
 
“If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve been listening to my music for at least a couple years. Some of you have probably even been spreading the word of the west for a decade. No matter what side of the coin you’re on, Eagle Featheris for YOU,” Munsick proclaims. “I can confidently say that this is the best album I’ve made. But it’s not mine anymore… it’s yours. 
 
“All the countless hours we spent pondering lyrics, crafting melodies and tweaking tones were all because we want you to love every second of this project,” he adds. “You have blessed my career beyond belief. Thank you will never be enough, but hopefully this album will. Your next favorite song of mine awaits.”
 
Eagle Feather opens with the first of three Prairie Laments that bookend the project, appearing at the beginning, middle and end. Setting the tone for the album, Munsick longingly declares his love for Wyoming, and his desire to set his legacy there.
 
In between, Munsick sets forward the pillars upon which the album’s meaning and message are based: honor, love and authenticity, which in turn, is a code of how to live. 
 
Tapping into his friends was pivotal for this album, as evident in the title track, co-written with singer-songwriter Stephen Wilson Jr. Getting together to write on a late afternoon in Nashville, Munsick shared with him the honor of being adopted into the Crow Tribe. As he listened, Wilson started to play his gut string in his unique tuning. From that, Wilson said, “Gave you my heart like eagle feather,” and just like that, a song was formed. 
 
For a good portion of 2024, Munsick was on the road with another rising Wilson: Lainey. While on the road, he cooked up the deeply personal and delicately poignant “Feather In My Hat.” Munsick knew that if Wilson lent her vocals, it would give it another layer of emotional depth. After a show at New York City’s legendary Radio City Music Hall, Munsick asked Wilson if she’d contribute her vocals. The answer was a resounding yes. 
 
Watch the “Feather In My Hat” official music video, out now, below.

Munsick was also able to draw from personal experiences and stories to show how life’s little moments can be its most impactful. One example of this can be found on “Wolf Creek Road,” a powerful moment where Munsick reflects on a true story after a night out at the rodeo when he was a teenager, when he had a close call and rolled his car. His father, none too pleased, drove him back to that area to show him a wooden cross on the side of the road and didn’t say a word. For Munsick, the silence was deafening and said everything. That “what might have been if you weren’t careful” moment is somberly reflected throughout the song’s gut-wrenching four minutes. 
 
The heaviness of the album culminates in its last track, “The Gate.” The track features three generations of Munsicks, with his father and young son participating in the intro and outro, symbolizing leaving the world, or in this case, the gate, just as good as you found it.
 
To commemorate the album’s release, Munsick partnered with Montana Silversmiths to launch an exclusive jewelry collection featuring unique pieces that blend traditional Western style with contemporary flair, available now exclusively at Boot Barn Nashville stores and BootBarn.com.

About Ian Munsick
A native son of Wyoming, Ian Munsick has accumulated over 900 million global streams across two albums – Coyote Cry and White Buffalo – and a host of accolades, including 19 awards and 14 festival selections for his documentary, White Buffalo: Voices of the West. Having painted a stampeding, spirited portrait of the American West with his sophomore album White Buffalo in 2023, Munsick is expanding on the concepts of the land, people, culture and stories that inspire him, readying the project’s follow-up 20-track album, Eagle Feather, due on April 18, 2025 via Warner Music Nashville. In addition to selling over 100,000 headlining tickets in 2024, Munsick also opened on select dates of Lainey Wilson’s Country’s Cool Again Tour and supported Morgan Wallen on select dates of his record-setting One Night At A Time Tour. Munsick is currently headlining his spring Horses Are Faster Tour. He has been named an “Artist to Watch” by Spotify, CMT, Fender, MusicRow and most recently was named a Martin Showcase Artist. Standout duet “Long Live Cowgirls” (with Cody Johnson) off of White Buffalo hit No. 1 on SiriusXM’s The Highway Hot 30 Countdown, was named one of Amazon Music’s Best Country Songs of 2022 and recently received RIAA Gold-certification alongside “Long Haul” and “Horses Are Faster.” Fans of Ian Munsick will always find an open heart, natural awe and plainspoken honesty as he rides on… bringing the West to the rest.

FRANK RAY TAKES COUNTRY MUSIC ON A SUN-SOAKED DETOUR WITH “MIAMI IN TENNESSEE”

“Looking brighter than ever” (CMT), Frank Ray’s “Miami In Tennessee” transports listeners to a sun-soaked paradise, blending the energy of South Beach with the heart of country music. With smooth vocals and an infectious rhythm, the track delivers a breezy, feel-good escape. Ray’s heritage shines through on this release; consequently, it’s easy to see why he’s impacting fans and earning critical praise and industry accolades like this spotlight from Good Morning America as a “Latino country artist expanding the genre while honoring his roots.” Written by Chase McGill, Lindsay Rimes and Joybeth Taylor, “Miami In Tennessee” is now available, HERE—turn it up and take a trip with this new single produced by Grammy-nominated Dave Pittenger.

“‘Miami In Tennessee’ is a straight-up party—it’s everything I bring to the stage wrapped into one song,” Ray shares in anticipation. “It’s country with a splash of my Latin roots, high energy, and just the right amount of heat. Turn it up, feel the rhythm, and get ready—because Miami just rolled into Tennessee!”

Frank Ray brings a fresh perspective to country music—an artist rooted in authenticity, culture, and connection. Known for his magnetic stage presence, Ray infuses his Mexican-American heritage into the country genre, creating a sound that’s uniquely his own. Whether he’s dancing between English and Spanish lyrics or energizing crowds with his dynamic performances, Ray consistently pushes boundaries with heart and charisma. As a proud girl-dad, mental health advocate, and former first responder, his storytelling goes beyond music—it’s about resilience, identity, and joy. Frank Ray isn’t just making music—he’s making space for an inviting new sound in the ever growing Country format.

About Frank Ray:

Frank Ray is a country music rulebreaker fusing Latin flair with his soulful, smooth vocals and amplified, party-starting energy. A former police officer from New Mexico, Ray left law enforcement to chase his passion for music, quickly making waves in the genre with his bilingual style and infectious connection with his fans via live performances and online. Signing with BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville, Ray’s impact and sound caught the industry’s attention leading to his Grand Ole Opry debut in 2022. Since then, he’s been named an “Artist to Watch” by Rolling Stone and a “Listen Up Artist” by CMT. Additionally spotlighted among the Country Radio Seminar’s New Faces Class of 2023, Ray dropped his debut self-titled album that year and has subsequently shared stages with Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Old Dominion, Luke Bryan, Kip Moore and more.

 

Praised by Good Morning America as one of the “Latino country artists expanding the genre while honoring their roots,” Ray's music delivers sun-soaked vibes, catchy hooks and a south-of-the-border steamy nightlife kick. His latest single, “Miami In Tennessee,” is another testament to his ability to transport listeners with feel-good storytelling and undeniable charm. Beyond music, this girl-dad is a passionate advocate for first responders’ mental health through his FRAY initiative, offering support and training to those who serve. With a magnetic presence and a sound that blurs boundaries, Frank Ray is proving that country music has room for every story.

Wolves at the Gate Drop "LAW OF THE [Waste]LAND" Visualizer

Wolves at the Gate will release new album Wasteland on May 30 via Solid State Records. Pre-order it here. 

Today, the band has shared the "LAW OF THE [Waste]LAND"  visualizer. 

Watch it below. 

"The song is a reflection on a world and humanity that has lost its grip on true justice," says singer/guitarist Stephen Cobucci. "But this isn't anything new. History tells endless stories of war, genocide, and injustice and a seemingly endless list of atrocities. There is something terribly broken in us by nature that exalts self-preservation. I've seen it firsthand in my own heart. I saw this confirmed to me by the words of an old Psalmist when he said, 'None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.' As much as I tried to fight the reality of that truth, an honest look at myself told the same story."

He continues, "The song explores how we become both victims and enforcers of a merciless code. We cry out for justice but live by vengeance, doing what seems right in our own eyes while blaming the fallout on anything but ourselves. In the Wasteland, we crown ourselves as judge, jury, and executioner, all while crying out for peace we can't create. While confronting the chaos, we've normalized. We were hoping to ask a deeper question: What is left for the soul, when we abandon mercy and truth in pursuit of self-rule and self-preservation? Can mercy still come to the merciless?"

The song starts out ominously and quickly escalates to all fists and fury, alongside a groove that just won't quit. It's got ALL of the bounce.

Wolves At The Gate have quietly and naturally evolved since their emergence out of the Midwest in 2008. Their vision unfolded across albums such as Captors [2012], VxV [2014], Types & Shadows [2016], Eclipse [2019], and Eulogies [2022]. Blabbermouth rated the latter "9.0-out-of-10.0," while mxdwn summed it up as "powerfully moving." Along the way, the group tallied tens of millions of streams fueled by the likes of "Counterfeit," "Deadman," "Lowborn," "Peace That Starts The War," and more. Not to mention, they've performed alongside everyone from The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and Red to Fit For A King, August Burns Red, and Born Of Osiris. In 2024, a core idea screamed out to guitarist Steve Cobucci, shaping the creative direction of the band's next evolution. It slowly, but surely seeped into the DNA of the music and his words.
 
"As I was working on the album and especially the lyrics, I began to realize that the Wasteland was a metaphor for a frame of mind that I don't want to live in, but a world I feel myself drawn back into over and over again," Cobucci reveals. "I hate it. It's a world of empty promises. It's a mirage. A counterfeit."

The musicians carefully pieced together what would become Wasteland. Cobucci co-produced the 13-track body of work with Josh Gilbert of Spiritbox, while the band recorded in New Jersey, San Diego, and Los Angeles. This time around, they added multiple dimensions to their signature sound, layering intriguing interludes and electronic overtures into the framework.

WOLVES AT THE GATE ARE:
Steve Cobucci — Vocals/Guitar
Nick Detty — Vocals
Joey Alarcon — Guitar
Abishai Collingsworth — Drums
Ben Summers — Bass

Out Today! - Exterminatus - Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1

Formed in the depths of Vancouver, Canada, in 2013, the death metal colossus EXTERMINATUS is poised to unleash their third studio assault, Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, on April 18, 2025. The album is a culmination of over a decade of relentless crafting and intense recording sessions, symbolizing the band's evolution into a formidable force within the metal scene.

The narrative of Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1 unfolds across its tracks, each serving as a chapter in a grand cosmic saga that explores the origins of the universe and the haunting truths hidden within its expansive reach. The journey begins with the turbulent force of "Cosmic Disturbance" and traverses through a series of dark revelations, culminating in an unexpected twist with a metal rendition of "Rock Me Amadeus."

Drawing inspiration from the cosmic and dystopian visions found in the works of Isaac Asimov and Arthur C. Clarke, as well as the expansive narratives of "Stargate SG:1" and the "Mass Effect" series, the album offers a profound exploration of existence through its lyrical and musical depth. Songs like "Primordial Sea" and "Starbound" feature brutal drum patterns and shredding riffs, echoing the thematic and sonic complexity that EXTERMINATUS is known for.

The formidable lineup delivering this sonic onslaught includes Max Sepulveda on drums, Tabreez Azad wielding guitar and vocals, Elia Baghdaniyan on guitar, Luka Bresan as the lead vocal force, and Lucas Abreu anchoring the low end on bass. The band themselves drove the production, with recording, mixing, and mastering helmed by Max Sepulveda and Zack Ohren at The Beat Lab, ensuring every note conveys the intended ferocity. The album's striking visuals were crafted by Mark Cooper, encapsulating the album's thematic essence.

Key tracks like "Cosmic Disturbance" come alive with an accompanying music video, while "The Signal" and "Primordial Sea" are depicted through haunting lyric videos, offering a window into the album’s dark narrative.

Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1 marks a pivotal chapter for EXTERMINATUS, as they delve into the abyssal depths of death metal, challenging the boundaries of the genre with philosophical narratives and thunderous compositions. 

About EXTERMINATUS:

Since their formation in 2013, EXTERMINATUS has evolved into a dominant force within the technical death metal scene. Their journey began with the debut album Veni Vidi Vici, which immediately set the tone for their aggressive style characterized by rapid-fire riffs, relentless drumming, and devastating vocals. By the time their second album Laniakea was released in 2018, EXTERMINATUS had firmly established themselves not just as a project but as a mainstay, pushing the boundaries of technical death metal.

The current lineup features the dual-guitar attack of Tabreez Azad and Elia Baghbaniyan, combined with the unstoppable rhythm section of Max Sepulveda and Lucas Abreu, and the ferocious lead vocals of Luka Bresan. This potent combination creates a sound that is both brutally precise and expansively atmospheric, drawing comparisons to luminaries like Aeon, Decapitated, and The Faceless, yet with a distinct identity that is entirely their own.

Thematically, EXTERMINATUS ventures into the cosmic unknown, exploring vast astronomical themes and the fundamental forces of the universe. Their narratives delve into complex physical phenomena and the chilling mysteries of space, a theme that resonates deeply in their upcoming release, Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, scheduled for release on April 18, 2025. This album promises to fuse their signature technical complexity with a hauntingly eerie cosmic atmosphere.

EXTERMINATUS's impact on the scene is underscored by their dynamic live performances, highlighted by appearances at festivals such as Armstrong Metalfest and Loud As Hell Festival. Collaborations with notable figures like Andrew Baena, Dean Lamb, and Mike Greenwood have further solidified their reputation, expanding their influence and showcasing their ability to innovate within the genre.

With their intricate compositions, powerful performances, and forward-thinking approach, EXTERMINATUS not only captivates their audience but also promises a continual evolution. As they prepare to release Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, they stand at the forefront of technical death metal, ready to explore new sonic territories and deepen their exploration of the cosmos.

HEAVEN'S GATE (ft. Members of MUNICIPAL WASTE, CANNIBAL CORPSE, etc.) Releases New Album, 'Tales From a Blistering Paradise'

Hardcore punk outfit HEAVEN'S GATE is now releasing its brand new full-length, 'Tales From a Blistering Paradise,' today, April 18! The album is now available worldwide digitally as well as vinyl via Beach Impediment and CD and cassette via To Live A Lie. Listen and order HERE.

The cover artwork was created by Steak Mountain aka/Christopher Norris and can be found below along with the tracklisting.

When most people think of Florida, they might picture retirement villages with seniors playing pickleball, luxurious Lamborghinis cruising to the beach, or leather-skinned swamp folks with a passion for NASCAR. However, Florida is also home to some of the fiercest punk bands imaginable. HEAVEN'S GATE is one such band. Instead of exuding the raw grime of ASSÜCK, HEAVEN'S GATE channels their rage into a powerful, concise, blast-beating behemoth. With members of bands that will wow you, the band really wants their music to speak for itself, so we won’t mention that they have the ranks of CANNIBAL CORPSE, MUNICIPAL WASTE, REVERSAL OF MAN, or WARTHOG members aboard. Their riffs are infectious in the way that bands like BIB and BLOODKROW BUTCHER haunt you but more in a way if you spit-shined the sound and added a good measure of blast beats to put a smile on the face of those who worship at the altar of SPAZZ, INFEST, Dystopia or DRI. This album fills so many wants in an album while not being derivative or really being a copy of any related bands. Without boring you more with a description, do yourself a favor and check out HEAVEN’S GATE and you won’t be disappointed.

Lineup: Vocals: Tony Foresta

Finnish Powerhouse Vocalists LAURENNE/LOUHIMO Release New Album 'Falling Through Stars' via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, LAURENNE/LOUHIMO - the collaboration between powerhouse Finnish vocalists Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast) and Netta Laurenne (Smackbound) – are proud to release their sophomore album 'Falling Through Stars,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate, the band has released a new single titled "All For Sale" which is accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.

LAURENNE/LOUHIMO is one of the most exciting projects on Frontiers Music Srl and, in this second chapter, deliver a full force metal assaults with the power to blow you away. 

Talking about the new single, Netta Laurenne commented:

“'All For Sale' is one of the metal ballads on the new album. It is a story of lost love that evolves into the realization that love is never truly lost but instead serves as a teacher. That heartache has a deeper purpose in our lives as a catalyst and healer.”

This new album from LAURENNE/LOUHIMO offers listeners a mix of heavy metal and hard rock tracks that explore the variety of the genre while maintaining a straightforward, easy-to-enjoy appeal.

 

'Falling Through Stars' has shades of all eras of Rainbow here and there, as well as Judas Priest and many other 80s icons of the style. All of these influences are expertly filtered into Netta and Noora's way of composing music. 

Watch the Visualizer for “All For Sale” Below:

The idea of a possible collaboration between Netta and Noora became a reality once the pandemic started and cleared out calendars for both artists. It felt like a perfect time to start the project and share all the things they have in common, from the same original town to similar idols and influences.

The main highlights of the album are, naturally, the vocal melodies created and shared by Netta Laurenne and Noora Louhimo.

'Falling Through Stars' has been once again produced at the Sonic Pump studio under the guidance of Nino Laurenne (who also played the guitars and contributed to the songwriting). The production is clear and powerful and gives the deserved value to the two stars here.

 

Songs like “Falling Through Stars,” “Damned,” “Loud And Clear,” or “Wait” are just a few of the highlights of a great album that will please all melodic metal fans!

Commenting on the album, Netta states:

“'Falling Through Stars' is the second collaborative album with Noora, and it gave us the opportunity to step in and out of our comfort zones to meet halfway. We had a great time writing and recording the album, which I co-produced with my husband, Nino Laurenne. This album takes us on a journey through both the past and future of metal. We’ve aimed to incorporate styles, instruments, and emotions spanning from the ’70s to the present day. It’s a dynamic album that showcases both raw power and delicate moments, and we’re excited to share it with everyone.”

Wind Walkers Drop New Track "The End Aesthetic" + Official Music Video With New Record Label Home Fearless Records

It's a great day to be a Wind Walkers fan! Today, the genre-blending metalcore powerhouse made their triumphant return with their new single "The End Aesthetic" (produced by Nick Matzkows and Jon Eberhard) and the official music video. Furthermore, Wind Walkers announced signing with their new label home, Fearless Records. When asked about the inspiration behind today's track, the band shared:

“I think that lyrically this song ended up being a lot more self-observant than I had intended it to be. I started with the chorus which is more of an outward projection, expressing the feeling that everyone is hiding something about themselves. Whether that be hidden anxieties, fears, or vices. As I wrote more, this song kind evolved into something that looked more inward. It talks about my own issues with numbing to distract myself from how sick the world is and asks the question, “Was our environment designed to make us feel this way?”

Stream "The End Aesthetic" at the link here, and watch the music video  below.

Coinciding with today's release is the band kicking off their tour alongside Memphis May Fire, Caskets, and Elijah on The Shapeshifter Tour beginning tonight in Little Rock, Arkansas, and performing at fan-favorite festivals Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville.

Savage Hands Drop Double Single "Reload, Repeat" + "Trace Erase"

Hailing from the DMV area, SAVAGE HANDS have positioned themselves at the forefront of the new wave rock scene. 

Driven by powerful instrumentals paired with belting vocal hooks, the band has cut its teeth working with writer/producer Andrew Baylis (Jellyroll, Yung Gravy, Brantley Gilbert) to develop a truly fresh sound. Backed by an absolutely electric live show, Savage Hands bring it all to the stage — and leave it there — at every show. 

Today, the quintet has dropped a double single, featuring "Reload, Repeat" and "Trace Erase." Listen below.

"'Reload, Repeat' and 'Trace Erase' are as raw as it comes from Savage Hands," says singer Mikey Garrow. "The cynical lyricism stems from situations that seem to present themselves in our every day lives so we chose to talk about it in a sense of 'rolling with the punches.' We wanted to shed light on some more personal issues and that's where these songs come from — deep personal issues that involve family and livelihood. We've held onto these songs for over a year and felt that this was the exact moment they needed to be released." 

There's something about just knowing when it's right...

Mikey Garrow — Vocals
Justin Hein — Guitar
Nathan O'Brien — Bass

Wallen Reveals 37-Song Tracklist feat. Collabs with Tate McRae, Post Malone, Eric Church & More

After spending the past few weeks teasing song titles from his upcoming album I’m The Problem on NBC’s Saturday Night Live and Theo Von’s This Past Weekend podcast, Morgan Wallen is revealing the full tracklist to the robust 37-song project. Featuring collaborations with pop superstars Post Malone and Tate McRae, plus close friends Eric Church, ERNEST and HARDY, I’m The Problem arrives May 16. Pre-save HERE.
 
The album opens with the title track, “I’m The Problem,” a cutting double-edged confession that reveals the complexities of a relationship at its lowest point. It concludes with “I’m A Little Crazy,” a quiet, self-reflective song that looks inward while examining the world outside. Between all of that, Wallen displays his ability to reach listeners on a granular level. 
 
While Wallen co-wrote 22 of the tracks on the album, he tapped into 49 songwriters, curating a tracklist that’s both deeply personal and resonant, while viewing life events through a different lens than he’s used in the past.
 
“A lot of the concepts and things we said were a little more difficult with this album,” Wallen says of the writing and refining process. “We were trying to dig deep on things and trying to find new angles. And I feel like we did that. I feel like there's a lot of stuff that I haven't said in this record, which I'm really, really proud of.” 
 
“I Ain’t Comin’ Back (Feat. Post Malone),” available Friday, marks the duo’s second collaboration following the crossover success of “I Had Some Help” last year, which recently topped two billion global streams. Written by Wallen, Louis Bell, Michael Hardy, Austin Post, Ernest Keith Smith and Ryan Vojtesak, and produced by Joey Moi, “I Ain’t Comin’ Back” teases a cheeky play-on-words, as the guy leaves the relationship, vowing never to return: There’s a lot of reasons I ain't Jesus / But the main one is that I ain’t coming back.
 
Pre-save “I Ain’t Comin’ Back (Feat. Post Malone)” ahead of Friday, HERE.

Wallen recently became the first artist ever to have two albums spend over 100 weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart. With each album, Wallen has refined his music, but with this one, Wallen digs even deeper, providing a glimpse into his life that feels more intimate, more grounded and closer to his core.
 
The project sparked Wallen’s 2025 I’m The Problem Tour. Kicking off June 20 at NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas, Wallen’s 20-show run will include stops in Seattle, Washington; Foxborough, Massachusetts; Toronto, Ontario and more. With a second stop recently added in Madison, Wisconsin, Wallen’s appearances will mark the first time an artist has played two consecutive nights at Camp Randall Stadium.
 
A rotating lineup of guests including Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett and Koe Wetzel join in direct support with Gavin Adcock, Corey Kent, Ella Langley and Anne Wilson as first-of-three across select dates. Coupled with Wallen’s Sand In My Boots Festival, these 21 shows are the only place to see the superstar in 2025.

About Morgan Wallen:
Morgan Wallen sets the pace in, and beyond, country music – with Billboard calling him “the biggest country star in the world” and The New York Times doubling down, declaring he’s “one of the biggest stars in pop, period.” With 17 No. 1 singles at Country radio, 19 Billboard Music Awards to-date, more than 170 weeks spent atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart (the most in country music history), the highest selling country tour under his belt and more, Wallen has propelled country music to a global level in less than five years. As Las Vegas Review Journal puts it: “Wallen’s appeal is remarkable as it is fueled by his ability to connect to a crowd.” 
 
With Dangerous: The Double Album, Wallen solidified his place as the “dominant country superstar,” with the project recently being named Billboard’s No. 1 Album of the 21st Century. One Thing At A Time’s groundbreaking success saw Wallen’s crossover appeal reach a global scale, as he topped the Australian ARIA charts for the first time, along with a host of other accolades. With two No. 1’s already hailing from his forthcoming album release I’m The Problem, due May 16 via Big Loud / Mercury, Wallen digs even deeper, uncovering a side that’s both more vulnerable and more resolute than ever before.
 
As Wallen prepares a refreshed setlist for his 20-stadium-show I’m the Problem Tour, kicking off on June 20 in Houston, Texas, he’s also highlighting some of his favorite artists by bringing the personally-curated, multi-genre Sand In My Boots Music Festival to Gulf Shores, Alabama, this May, which sold out in less than two hours.
 
Wallen continues to donate a portion of every ticket sold to his Morgan Wallen Foundation — which supports youth music and athletic programs and gives communities access to essentials in times of crisis. More at MorganWallen.com.

FALLUJAH DEBUTS NEW SINGLE 'LABYRINTH OF STONE'

Progressive death metal masters FALLUJAH have revealed the second single, ‘Labyrinth of Stone,’ from their upcoming 6th album, Xenotaph, that’s due out June 13th from Nuclear Blast Records.

Commenting on the new single, founding guitarist Scott Carstairs states:

“‘Labyrinth of Stone’ is nearly six minutes of pure, mind-bending tech death and prog. From start to finish, this track will tear your face off. We guarantee you’ve never heard Fallujah like this before. Prepare your ear holes and eyeballs for one of the most ridiculous tracks and music videos we’ve ever produced.”

Pre-order Xenotaph: https://fallujah.bfan.link/xenotaph

Stream ‘Labyrinth of Stone’: https://fallujah.bfan.link/labyrinth-of-stone.app

‘LABYRINTH OF STONE’ MUSIC VIDEO BELOW;

FALLUJAH’s eagerly awaited 6th album, Xenotaph, is available for pre-order now on limited edition vinyl, CD and cassette.

Watch the video for the band’s previously released single ‘Kaleidoscopic Waves’: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iA1m63buh8

Speaking about the album, vocalist Kyle Schaefer says:

“We are excited to finally reveal Fallujah’s new album Xenotaph, marking the sixth chapter in our discography. This is our most ambitious record yet, and is certainly the band’s most technical, dynamic and progressive material to date. The music carried out by these eight tracks is matched with an equally ambitious concept, a lyrical story that traverses unfolding layers of time and reality in an otherworldly, post-death realm of existence.

Xenotaph is also our most collaborative album, with broad input from the current lineup leading us to expand the scope of our songwriting while simultaneously highlighting the true potential of everyone involved. We hope you’ll join us in welcoming this bold new stage of the band’s evolution.”

About FALLUJAH:

Prog death-metal outfit FALLUJAH expand horizons and solidify their position as one of America’s most exciting acts on their new album, Xenotaph, through Nuclear Blast. The quintet’s confidence in the lineup that made their previous album, Empyrean (2022), such a resounding success—earning high marks from Metal Injection, New Noise, and Guitar World—has been reconfigured slightly, with guitarist Sam Mooradian (INHALE EXISTENCE, SAM MOORADIAN) and drummer Kevin Alexander (DISEMBODIED TYRANT, BROUGHT BY PAIN) bringing their jaw-dropping musical proficiency to the fold, as vocalist Kyle Schaefer, guitarist Scott Carstairs, and bassist Evan Brewer enter a new chapter with FALLUJAH. Moored by singles ‘Kaleidoscopic Waves,’ ‘Labyrinth of Stone,’ and ‘Step Through the Portal and Breathe,’ Xenotaph is FALLUJAH personified, reinvigorated, and re-imagined.

Xenotaph was produced by FALLUJAH, engineered by Dave Otero (CATTLE DECAPITATION, ARCHSPIRE) and Mike Low (VITRIOL, ABORTED) at Flatline Audio in Denver, Colorado and Top Track Studios in Nashville, Tennessee. Otero also mixed and mastered Xenotaph. The main goal was elevation, building upon yet soaring upward from Empyrean, one of the group’s strongest productions to date. The team focused the separation of FALLUJAH’s breakneck pace, meticulous songcraft, euphonious leads, and unrivaled intensity, creating an experience pulls the listener into Xenotaph’s high-caliber music and concept.

Beyond releasing Xenotaph to an anticipating fanbase, FALLUJAH take aim at the road, drawing upon the success of their Empyrean runs. Indeed, attendees to the group’s live performances have witnessed some of Xenotaph’s songs already, namely the shimmery prog-bounce and inner world horror of ‘The Obsidian Architect.’ FALLUJAH are in a perpetual state of evolution, and Xenotaphdemonstrates the group’s hard-won, if profound journey. For there is no reverse—only forward progress, and the path ahead is illuminating before them. Step through the portal if you dare…

INCITE "Savage New Times"

Phoenix-based groovers and thrashers INCITE present their most ferocious incarnation in the forthcoming full length, Savage New Times set for release on August 15, 2025, via Reigning Phoenix Music.

INCITE will stop at nothing in striving to attain their most powerful version of themselves, and in Savage New Times they present a truly impressive and visceral sound.

SEVEN SPIRES Shares New Single "Love's Souvenir" + Music Video

Today, SEVEN SPIRES is excited to share their new single, "Love's Souvenir," taken from their recent album 'A Fortress Called Home,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. The new single is accompanied by a music video, available below.

SEVEN SPIRES vocalist Adrienne Cowan comments on the new single and video:

“'Love’s Souvenir' was born on one of the darkest days of the production of our fourth studio album 'A Fortress Called Home.' It’s a song about believing you must be extraordinary to be loved, and the aching marble museum that carves inside. It was a way to confront the shame of craving connection, and the long-standing fear of loss when there’s no energy left to perform. I always had the feeling 'Love’s Souvenir' needed a music video. Nearly ten months after the album’s release, we finally get to show it to the world: brocade-and-silk-clad agony filmed in a desecrated church in subzero temperatures. It’s beautiful and ugly, polished and raw as the album itself. Working with Chris Kells’ team again was cathartic and wonderfully arty as always. And, if it’s possible to say about something so painful, I’m incredibly happy with and proud of the final result 🤍"

Watch the Music Video for "Love's Souvenir" below:

SEVEN SPIRES is an American symphonic metal band. Since their inception in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, these best friends have forged their home in the darker corners of the melodic metal world. Known for their penchant for pushing genre limits, they draw influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching ravenously into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music, and cinematic soundscapes.
