ALL HELL Unleash New Single “The Bleeding” from Forthcoming Album Sunsetter

Blackened metal trio ALL HELL has released “The Bleeding,” the first single from their upcoming album Sunsetter, due out October 10, 2025 on Terminus Hate City.

A blistering, high-speed descent into vampiric hunger and ritualistic violence, “The Bleeding” offers the first glimpse into the apocalyptic narrative of Sunsetter, a concept album spanning millennia of exile, resurrection, and mythic doom. The track also features a scorching guest guitar solo by Nate Garnette of SKELETONWITCH, a longtime friend and collaborator of the band.

Lyrically, “The Bleeding” places listeners in the mind of a predator, one of the cursed children of Cain, seeking blood offerings for a long-slumbering sire. The result is pure sonic ferocity, blending d-beat punk energy with the band’s signature blackened edge and occult atmosphere.

Sunsetter is the fifth full-length from ALL HELL, following a string of acclaimed releases including The Grave Alchemist and The Witch’s Grail. Known for their punishing live shows and genre-defying sound, the band has toured with RINGWORM, BLACK TUSK, and PROFANATICA, and has performed at Decibel Metal and Beer Fest, RPM Fest, and more.

About ALL HELL:

ALL HELL is a blackened metal trio from Asheville, North Carolina, known for their relentless fusion of first wave black metal, deathrock, punk, and horror-driven storytelling. Since forming in 2013, the band has carved out a distinct identity rooted in occult themes, razor-sharp riffs, and a fierce DIY ethos. Their sound is aggressive, stripped-down, and deeply atmospheric — a raw, unfiltered descent into myth, violence, and the supernatural.

With five full-length albums and an EP to their name, including 2025’s apocalyptic concept record Sunsetter, ALL HELL has evolved from a local cult favorite into a powerful underground force. Their live presence has taken them across the U.S., sharing stages with acts like RINGWORM, BLACK TUSK, PROFANATICA, and TURN COLD, and performing at festivals such as Decibel Metal and Beer Fest, Dark Lord Day, and RPM Fest.

The current lineup, Jacob Curwen (guitar and vocals), Erik Ballantyne (bass), and Elanti (drums), continues to push the band’s sound forward while staying true to its core. With each release, ALL HELL digs deeper into a unique mythos that spans history, horror, and apocalypse, embracing the dark, the ugly, and the eternal night.

ALL HELL is:
 

• Jacob Curwen – Guitar and Vocals

• Erik Ballantyne – Bass

• Elanti – Drums

Thy Catafalque Release Live Video Ahead of First Latin American Tour

Even when it was only thought of as a studio project, Thy Catafalquehad a vision that extends beyond borders and boundaries. Over the past two decades, Hungarian mastermind Tamás Kátai and his growing cast of collaborators have brought the deadly art of extreme metal into close conversation with the avant-garde.

"XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek is a feast for the ears", New Noise wrote in a 5 star review of Thy Catafalque's latest opus. "[it's] a celebration of the powers of music, bursting to express itself in whatever form it chooses to inhabit. An album to inexorably fall in love with". 

Now, fresh off their debuts at Hellfest and Kilkim Žaibu, followed by a resounding return in front of their home crowd at Fishing on Orfű, Thy Catafalque are preparing to tour Latin America for the very first time. As the group prepare to ignite crowds from Mexico to Argentina, today, they are releasing a live video from last year's hometown performance of the most chilling epic off their dark and dreamy twelfth album.      

"This is a massive step-up for Thy Catafalque", Kátai says. "We are very excited to play for our fans in places where we've never gone before".

Watch Thy Catafalque perform "Ködkirály" live at Dürer Kert  Below

XII: A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek (The Beautiful Dreams Are Yet to Come) is out now on Season of Mist.

Heading into Thy Catafalque's twelfth album, Tamás Kátai set out to make a straightforward metal record. But A gyönyörű álmok ezután jönnek wound up taking him on another surreal headtrip.

In English, "Ködkirály" translates to "King of Fog". The song unfolds somewhere between dreams and nightmares. Martina Veronika Horváth and Ivett Dudás rise amidst cosmic synths like fog beneath a sinking moon. Their chilling cleans left the sold-out crowd at the influential Hungarian underground venue completely mesmerized. With his deep rippling bass lines, Kátai only deepens the spell.       

Of course, Thy Catafalque aren't ones to leave their fans in suspense. Halfway through "Ködkirály", a death metal riff comes thundering down from the blackened sky. When dueling guitarists Zoltán Vigh and Krisztián Varga  unfurl a procession of gloomy tremolo picking, it's harrowingly clear that the king has come. "Hullj, nehéz eső / Fall, heavy rain", roars Gábor Dudás, commanding the group's many followers to bang their heads.

The video for "Ködkirály" was recorded on November 23, 2024 at Dürer Kert, Budapest, Hungary.

Frontiers Music Srl Welcomes Rock Icon JOHN CORABI to Its Artist Roster

Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the signing of legendary rock vocalist JOHN CORABI to its roster of iconic artists.

Known for his powerful voice and rich legacy with bands like Mötley Crüe, The Dead Daisies, Union, and The Scream, CORABI is looking forward to releasing new music in collaboration with producer/songwriter Marti Frederiksen.

He promises an organic 60’s-70’s style record and can’t wait to get back on the road with a talented solo band featuring his son Ian on drums, and a few great friends.

JOHN expressed his excitement by saying:

“I’m thankful to Frontiers Records for the opportunity to give you guys some new music!! I’ve been writing and recording with my good pal Marti Frederiksen here in Nashville, and I can’t wait for you to hear it all!”

Tom Lipsky, Head of A&R of North America for Frontiers Label Group, commented:

“It is exciting to bring JOHN into the Frontiers Label Group. He has fans around the world, and he is respected by the artist community as a musician, singer and songwriter. JOHN’s new music will take his accomplished career to an even higher level”.

JOHN CORABI is a journeyman singer-songwriter and guitarist who burst onto the music scene with Hollywood Records recording artists The Scream in 1991. Touring extensively throughout the United States on the strength of their songs “Man In The Moon," “I Believe In Me," and “Father Mother Son," JOHN attracted the attention of radio, MTV, fans, and critics alike.

Mötley Crüe’s Nikki Sixx reached out to JOHN after the departure of Vince Neil in 1992 and asked him to join the band for the writing and recording of their 1994 self-titled record. During the recording process of the follow-up 'Generation Swine' album in late 1996, Vince Neil returned to the band, and JOHN started the band Union with former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick.

Union headed into a studio to record their debut self-titled album in 1998. With Union, JOHNreleased three albums between 1998 and 2001. Afterwards, JOHN left Union to join the band RATT on their 2001 summer tour, handling guitar and backing vocal duties. Touring constantly from 2001 - 2008, JOHN eventually left the band to go out on his own.

JOHN has released the acoustic album 'Unplugged' in 2012 and a live album, “Live 94, One Night In Nashville,' in 2018, as well as multiple original and tribute singles. JOHN received a phone call in 2015 to join the all-star collective called The Dead Daisies, and has since recorded the albums 'Revolución,' 'Make Some Noise,' 'Live And Louder,' 'Burn It Down,' 'Light Em’ Up,' and a recently released blues covers record 'Looking For Trouble.'

For the last ten years, with The Dead Daisies and as a solo acoustic artist, JOHN has toured extensively in Europe, the United States, Japan, South America, Australia, and the United Kingdom, playing all the major festivals and selling out shows to a growing, loyal fan base.

With his 2022 autobiography “Horseshoes And Hand Grenades," and 19 full-length records under his belt, spanning a 35-year career, JOHN is anxious to release record number 20, and play the new songs live. The future looks bright for JOHN!

Dead Poet Society Share "Running In Circles (Stripped)"

Los Angeles quartet DEAD POET SOCIETY, who were tipped by The New York Post's Page Six as a band to know, dropped their second album FISSION in 2024 via Spinefarm. It's available here.

Today, they share a stripped down and reimagined, piano-driven version of their hit single "Running In Circles."

Listen to "Running In Circles (Stripped)" below. 

How the song came to be is quite the plot twist involving a fan and social media!

"A little while ago, we came across our longtime fan (and now friend) Marissa's piano cover of 'Running In Circles' on Instagram. Everything about it — the expression, chord changes, and emotion — moved us. We knew right away that we needed to release this version of a song that's so special to us," the band explains. "Shortly after, we decided to fly Marissa out from Texas and have her officially record the version with Jack singing. We couldn’t be more excited about the result."

DPS will hit the road this summer supporting Chevelle and Asking Alexandria. All dates are below.

ERRA Share Visualizer for New Single "Echo Sonata"

Prolific metalcore progressives ERRA — J.T. Cavey, vocals; Jesse Cash, vocals + guitars; Conor Hesse, bass; Alex Ballew, drums; and Clint Tustin, guitar — dropped the new song "Gore of Being" last week. Watch the video here. It was the first new music from the band since 2024's critically acclaimed CURE and was lauded by Rock Sound for its "stunning collision of brutality and melody we've come to expect from the band" and by Knotfest as "a potent meld of precision and power."

They've followed it immediately with another typically brainy metallic track titled "Echo Sonata."

Watch the visualizer and listen below.

The song nods to both ERRA's past and its future!

"'Echo Sonata' feels like a return to form for the band," explains Cash. "It hearkens back to the spirit of our Drift album, something we didn't initially plan on but something our friends were quick to point out when we were showing them the song. It's a proper representation of the kind of melody and emotion we're going for on the next record."

ERRA will hit the road this summer as main suport for Architects. All dates are below.

CHILEAN ROCKERS CONSEQUENCE OF ENERGY UNLEASH DEBUT SINGLE, "FREEDOM"

Consequence of Energy is a politically-charged hard rock act from Chile, whose lead-off single, "Freedom," marks their thunderous debut into the international arena. Released on July 18, 2025, "Freedom" features explosive riffs, relentless grooves, and an urgent vocal performance – which hits like a protest anthem born in the heat of global unrest. 
 
Comprised of Michael Bianchi "Sirius" (vocals), Diego Sagredo "Caminantecosmico" (guitar / synths / others), Roli Cortes (guitar / synths), Pedro Javier (bass / backing vocals), and Amaru López Campbell (drums), Consequence of Energy has also issued a music video for the tune via YouTube, which features a performance in front of a festival-sized crowd:
 
Audio: Freedom
 
Video: Consequence of Energy - Freedom (Live)

"Freedom" captures the desperation and defiance of a generation pushed to the brink — a song tailor-made for mosh pits and gym playlists. The production is raw but laser-focused, with modern metal sheen and South American fire. Produced by legendary rock producer Garth Richardson (Rage Against the Machine, Biffy Clyro), mixed by Dave Schiffman (System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers), and mastered by the iconic Howie Weinberg (Nirvana, Soundgarden), the sonic pedigree speaks for itself. 
 
The song is a preview of what is to come in the near future, when the band drops their full-length debut, We Are One – which will be released sometime in late 2025/early 2026. With distribution via AWAL and support from the underground powerhouse Los Lobos Records, the band is set to make a global mark. "Freedom" is the first strike from a full campaign aimed at tearing down borders — sonically and socially.
 
"'Freedom' captures everything I love about a great rock song — raw energy, emotional weight, and total honesty," Richardson said. "Consequence of Energy came into the studio with something urgent to say, and you feel it in every riff and every beat. I'm proud to have worked with them on this track — it's a modern hard rock anthem that hits with purpose."
 
"The song questions the very concept of freedom in a world where structure, ego, and belief systems often masquerade as liberation," the band adds. "It mocks the idea that louder voices or purer ideologies can set us free, when in truth, we're often trapped by the very tools we use to define ourselves. Freedom is not a protest song—it's a mirror. A bold, biting, and brutally honest reflection of a society addicted to control while crying out for release. Consequence of Energy doesn't offer easy answers—just a challenge: What does freedom really mean? And are you ready to face what's in the way?"
 
Fueled by the rhythms of Latin America and shaped by the influence of genre giants like Audioslave, Gojira, and System of a Down, Consequence of Energy delivers music that is equal parts catharsis and confrontation. And soon, rock fans worldwide will get a chance to experience this exciting up and coming band.

Her debut album, Wine On Venus, was produced by John Osborne (Brothers Osborne), released independently, and garnered widespread acclaim after its release in August of 2024.  

She has further headlined sold-out shows in Japan, New York City and Los Angeles and has also appeared at prominent festivals such as Bourbon & Beyond, Telluride Blues and Brews, Bottlerock, Sea.Hear.Now., Pilgrimage Music & Cultural Festival and “Let Freedom Sing,” Nashville’s 4th of July concert.  

Grace recently won Instrumentalist of the Year at the 2024 Americana Music Association Honors & Awards, made her Grand Ole Opry debut on her eighteenth birthday and was named a U.S. Global Music Ambassador by the U.S. Department of State and YouTube’s Global Music Diplomacy Initiative.

Zac Brown Band-Let It Run (Feat. Snoop Dogg) Out Now

Eric Church's 3 Nights at Red Rocks: Full Band Firepower to Stripped-Back Solos, Same-Day New Song & More

With an American Flag scarf given by a fan hanging loosely around his neck on night two-of-three as the band finished “Springsteen,” the sunglass-clad superstar had just downed an airplane bottle of Jack, and was clearly living in the moment as much as the audience as he grinned and acknowledged, “2012 broke out in here real quick.” It was a statement that both acknowledged the jubilance as well as the journey that Eric Church embarked on 20 years ago.
 
Earlier this week, arriving at the venue for the first time in nine years, Church joked with his crew, “I was a younger man the last time I walked this ramp.” Between reminiscing of his youngest son first attending in a Baby Bjorn and headphones to now standing side stage for “Holdin’ My Own,” Church’s teary eyes reflected the magnitude of the moment and mirrored its lyrics – “If the world comes knocking, Tell ‘em I'm not home, I'm finally holdin’ my own” – holding the crowd right along with him.
 
“The thing about these shows is you can’t really plan for or manufacture what happens. Either a night, a moment, a show or a melody captures it, or it doesn’t, and this week, every night – and I mean this – for me, it was magic,” Church shared after. 
 
From staying up until 4:22 a.m. on night one and brilliantly deciding during the late-night celebration to add covers on night two like “Gimme Shelter” (during which longtime cohort Joanna Cotten mouthed to him sarcastically in between Merry Clayton’s chorus, “you son of a...”), to being so moved that he debuted a song, “New Old Me,” written that very afternoon on night three, his three-night stint was a creative filled sabbatical in Colorado. 
 
Monday delivered a full-scale production, with a complete horns and strings sections plus a choir for Eric Church vs. The Machine. He played the entire Evangeline vs. The Machine album front to back – and then played 14 more songs. There were some favorites, including “Knives of New Orleans,” and there were some rarities, including “Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones” outside the state of Alabama for only the second time in the last three years.
 
“I’ll see you in another nine years,” Church told the crowd at the conclusion of the evening. Then he chuckled. “Nah, I’m just kidding,” he said. “Shit, I’ll see you tomorrow night.”

Indeed, with his masterful road crew tearing down that extremely complicated set and loading in a completely new one over the course of just a couple hours, the stage was set for night two – Eric Church vs. The ECB – to make its own mark. It was quickly clear that he and the ECB weren’t just playing the songs that have defined the past two-decades – you could see them living those moments again, too. They started playing “Lotta Boot Left to Fill” in Denver at the Grizzly Rose in November of 2006. Tuesday night, it was back.
 
“Damn, we were punks,” Church laughed at the conclusion of the song. But he also knew that being a punk is occasionally what navigated him through a career that has never been stereotypical, and also a key reason why he was standing in the spotlight at a sold-out Red Rocks. “Sorry,” he told the crowd with a grin, “I’m enjoying that more than I should.”
 
Except for “Springsteen” – which still came with a different “Born To Run” intro, because Church just can’t help but push himself to deliver something new with each performance – each of the 23 songs was different on Tuesday, making for 45 different songs played over the first two nights alone.
 
And yet, there was still one more show to come, with Wednesday’s finale delivering an epic clash of Eric Church vs. The Guitar. The scene was set early, with a heavy rain setting in just before Church took the stage and making for an incredible setting as he opened with the instantly recognizable first few chords of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah,” immediately letting the crowd know they were in for one of those special nights that wouldn’t soon be forgotten.
 
The rain came and went initially, but then it unloaded around 11 p.m. It happened to coincide with Church breaking into a 12-song medley in the middle of “Record Year.” By the time he got to the sixth song of the medley, “Tiny Dancer,” it was pouring. In “Through My Ray-Bans,” there’s a line that says, “Tonight we don’t give a damn.” By the time Church and Cotten finished “Like Jesus Does,” it was a borderline monsoon, and this crowd decided they absolutely, positively did not give a damn.
 
The unscripted backdrop of the night enabled Church to give a performance that instantly goes into his career pantheon. You will never be able to make a list of best Eric Church shows without the Red Rocks rain show in 2025. Likewise, you may not be able to make a list of most memorable Red Rocks shows from any artist without including the Eric Church rain show of 2025. Late in the show, long past midnight and nearly 30 minutes after Church had finished the night’s planned set list and was completely improvising, every single seat was filled as the house lights turned on to illuminate the crowd singing along to “Talladega.” At 12:25 a.m. on a Wednesday, in miserable conditions, there wasn’t a visible empty seat anywhere.
 
In total, he played 32 songs plus that 12-song medley, putting the total at 44 for the nearly two and a half hours he was on stage (and nearly 100 over the three days). Across the unique trilogy of performances, members of the Church Choir also got a sneak peek at the format of his upcoming Free the Machine Tour that kicks off Sept. 12 in Pittsburgh, Pa., as Church will meld what fans saw across three nights at Red Rocks into one show with robust musical arrangements, original band rock outs and powerful stripped configurations of his catalog.
 
“You don’t want nights like these to end, and I think that’s what I chase,” adds the North Carolina native. “Everyone who comes to our shows knows what I mean and it’s why they chase it, too.” 
 
Fans can relive all three nights by re-watching the trilogy of livestreams exclusively on Nugs, now through July 27.

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s rising duo Ryan and Rory are ready to turn any space into a makeshift dance floor with their latest release, “Them Boots,” out now. Listen below.

Fueled by a boot-stomping beat and tongue-in-cheek charm, “Them Boots” puts the spotlight on the kind of fun that doesn’t require a honky-tonk to get going. From riverbanks to red dirt backroads, the track is a playful nod to the country fans who know how to move—no neon lights needed. Directed by Randy Shaffer, Ryan and Rory have audiences line dancing across bar rooms and truck beds in their latest music video, watch Below. 

Coming off the heels of “Together Again (feat. Jamey Johnson),” a decades-in-the-making, cross-generational collaboration, Ryan and Rory continue to build steam. With viral traction, a growing tour resume (including dates with Brett Young, Sam Hunt, and Jamey Johnson), and a celebrated Opry debut, the duo is carving out their own lane, blending legacy, charisma, and undeniable hooks.

"'Them Boots’ will rock your face off,” says Ryan Follesé. “It is a pure and simple summertime banger."

"This song's built to fire up the party on the lake or beach…and even better to burn down a dance hall,” continues Rory John Zak.

SiriusXM Highway Finds Ryan and Rory are readied for a breakthrough moment, with MusicRow calling them “poised to make major waves on the country music scene” and The Tennessean praising their “commercial polish and honest storytelling.” “Them Boots” is the next chapter in a breakout year for the duo, proving that when the beat hits just right, the dancefloor is wherever you want it to be.

About Ryan and Rory:
BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville’s breakout duo Ryan and Rory “are bursting onto the scene” (Country Swag) with their self-titled debut EP & viral momentum to match. Named a SiriusXM Highway Find, their high-energy track “Pour Decisions” launched the six-song project, which includes the Billboard “must-hear” anthem “This Town.” They’ve continued to build buzz with “What’s Mine Is Yours,” a standout ballad, & the rowdy fan-favorite “Truck Stop,” now shifting into high gear with a growing online following. Ryan Follesé, an American Music Award winning Nashville native & 2X PLATINUM-selling songwriter, brings a legacy of success as the former frontman of Hot Chelle Rae. Rory John Zak, a powerhouse vocalist & multi-instrumentalist from North Carolina, delivers harmonies & a magnetic live presence built across 300+ shows annually. They’ve toured with Sam Hunt, Jamey Johnson, Brett Young & Tyler Braden, made a celebrated debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage, & were praised by MusicRow as “poised to make major waves on the country music scene.” With “commercial polish & honest storytelling” (The Tennessean), Ryan and Rory are “the next heir apparent to the country duo throne” (Country Swag), & “poised to be a staple on countless playlists” (PopCulture). This summer, they released “Together Again (feat. Jamey Johnson),” a decades-in-the-making, cross-generational collaboration, & now they have audiences turning any empty space into a makeshift dance floor with “Them Boots,” out now.

Miranda Lambert & Parker McCollum Announce “Band Together Texas,” A Benefit Concert for Central Texas Flood Aid

Texas natives Miranda Lambert and Parker McCollum present Band Together Texas, a star-studded benefit concert on Sunday, August 17 at Moody Center in Austin, benefiting The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, the leading charity behind the ongoing flood relief efforts, and Central Texas Community Foundation. 
 
The July 4 flooding was one of the deadliest natural disasters in Texas history, claiming the lives of more than 130 adults and children. As of today, over 100 individuals remain missing. Entire communities were inundated, homes and livelihoods were swept away, and families are still reeling from the devastation. Band Together Texas aims to rally critical support for flood-impacted communities and their ongoing needs as they recover and rebuild.

“One of the things I love about both our artist community and our community in Texas is that we show up for one another, especially in times of such great need like folks in my home state are facing after the flood,” shares Lambert. “There is so much devastation and loss, yet what’s given me hope are the stories of those that have come to the aid of so many. That’s what we want to do with Band Together: Texans helping Texas. We hope it is a night that helps with healing while raising awareness and funds for The Community Foundation of Texas Hill Country and the Central Texas Community Foundation.”
 
Band Together Texas will feature performances from an all-star roster of Texas talent in addition to Lambert and McCollum – including Ryan Bingham, Wade Bowen, Kelly Clarkson, Ronnie Dunn, Dylan Gossett, Jack Ingram, Cody Johnson, Lyle Lovett, Lukas Nelson, Jon Randall and Randy Rogers Band. 
 
In addition to the musical performances, notable Texans lending their support to the event include actors Matthew McConaughey and Dennis Quaid, former UT Longhorns coach Mack Brown and players Emmanual Acho, Colt McCoy and Vince Young, MLB star and Houston native Roger Clemens plus television host and Dallas native Chris Harrison, with more to be announced. 
 
The evening will also feature tributes to first responders and flood victims, including stories of rescue and resilience shared on stage by emergency personnel. 
 
“The flooding in the Hill Country of Texas is truly heartbreaking,” adds McCollum. “This place and these people are my community. There is a long road ahead rebuilding and even though so many families are facing the unimaginable, we’re Texas strong. Miranda is inspiring in both her music and how big her heart is, and I’m honored to be joining her for this benefit concert to support our fellow Texans and share a night of healing through music.”
 
Band Together Texas proceeds benefit The Community Foundation of the Texas Hill Country, a Kerrville-based 501(c)(3) public charity that supports both urgent relief and long-term rebuilding following the floods, and Central Texas Community Foundation. 
 
Tickets for Band Together Texas at Moody Center will first be made available via presale registration open now through Monday, July 21 at 5 p.m. CT at bandtogethertexas.com. Presale passwords will be issued Tuesday, July 22 via registered email. Presale starts Wednesday, July 23 at 10 a.m. CT. Any remaining tickets will be available at general on sale beginning Friday, July 25 at 10 a.m. CT.
 
Band Together Texas is made possible with the generous support of partners including H-E-B, Kendra Scott, Poncho Outdoors, Tecovas and Whataburger.

Whiskey Myers Introduce "Midnight Woman;" New Album 'Whomp Whack Thunder' Arrives 9/26

As anticipation builds for Whomp Whack Thunder, their first new album in three years, Whiskey Myers continue to peel back the curtain on what’s to come with the release of “Midnight Woman,” available everywhere now. Listen Below and pre-order/pre-save the album HERE.
 
Following the hard-hitting “Tailspin” and fiery lead single “Time Bomb” – currently climbing the Top 40 at Active Rock radio, further solidifying Whiskey Myers’ growing crossover appeal – “Midnight Woman” showcases a different kind of power. The track’s swampy intro explodes into a hard-driving groove laced with classic rock energy. Equal parts grit and seduction, it paints the portrait of a spellbinding force of nature:
 
“‘Midnight Woman’ is that raw, late-night energy you can’t shake off – part voodoo, part rock ’n’ roll fever dream,” shares lead singer Cody Cannon. “It’s about the kind of woman who doesn’t just walk into your life – she storms in like thunder and leaves you dizzy in her wake.”
 
The latest release adds to the excitement for Whiskey Myers’ highly anticipated seventh studio album arriving Sept. 26 via the band’s own Wiggy Thump Records. Born from the piney woods of East Texas and shaped in the soul of Nashville during an immersive three weeks with renowned producer Jay Joyce – known for bringing edge, atmosphere and unpredictability to every project (Eric Church, Cage the Elephant, Halestorm, Lainey Wilson) – Whomp Whack Thunder is a strong statement from the multi-Platinum independent band. 
 
“We didn’t set out to chase a specific sound – we set out to make a Whiskey Myers record,” reflects lead guitarist John Jeffers. “Jay pulled something out of us that’s raw and real, and every track’s got a piece of our story in it. This album’s about where we’ve been, what we’ve lived and the scars we earned along the way – and I think Whomp Whack Thunder might just be our most fearless album yet.”
 
Whomp Whack Thunder is the sound of a band at the height of its powers, marrying Southern swagger with arena-sized rock and soul-searching songwriting. Cannon penned all eleven tracks solo, delivering stories that hit with the emotional weight of lived experience and the firepower of the band’s signature sound to craft a record born of the road and shaped by nearly two decades of defiant, grassroots momentum.
 
The forthcoming album features the full force of the six piece – Cannon (vocals, guitar), Jeffers (guitar), Cody Tate (guitar), Jamey Gleaves (bass), Jeff Hogg (drums) and Tony Kent (percussion, piano) – with Joyce also contributing keys, organ and guitar, crafting a sonic landscape that stretches from greasy blues-rock riffs to gospel-tinged country soul.
 
Ahead of the fall release, fans can catch early previews of the new music with the What We Were Born To Do Tour, hitting a sold-out Nashville stop tomorrow, July 19, and visiting cities across the U.S. throughout the summer. Whiskey Myers also co-headlines 14 dates of the Live in 25 Tour with Tedeschi Trucks Band later this year in addition to headlining their own personally curated Moon Crush “Whiskey Moon” music vacation taking over Miramar Beach, Fla. Nov. 7-9.

Randall King Releases Ballad, “I Keep Your Memory Around”

Hereford, Texas native Randall King has been dubbed a “hardcore country vocalist" by Billboard, and celebrated by Holler as “the genre's neo-traditional figurehead.” As he continues to tease a new album, King is doubling down on his allegiance to his traditional country roots with the release of his latest ballad, “I Keep Your Memory Around,” available now. Listen Below.
 
“This song is a special one that I hope brings you some comfort and healing,” King shares. “Whether you’re dealing with the loss of a loved one, a heartbreak, or you just love country music, I hope you find meaning in knowing you’re not alone. This one is close to my heart.”
 
Written by Drew Parker, Adam Craig and Matt Rogers, “I Keep Your Memory Around” depicts the heartbreak of losing a loved one, and the reluctance to let go of the memories shared. 
 
I keep your memory around
I don’t care how bad it hurts
I know forgettin’ about you
Would hurt even worse
I know that I should move on
But I can’t let it move out
No you won’t ever be gone
If I keep your memory around
 
King most recently released “Cheatin’ On My Honky Tonk” feat. Braxton Keith, which Billboard declared a “barroom-ready track.” As King returns to the studio, readying his next album for 2026, he will continue touring throughout 2025, with a mix of headlining shows and support dates on Luke Bryan’s Country Song Came On Tour.
 
King’s sophomore album, Into The Neon, was released Jan. 26, 2024 to critical acclaim, leaving Texas Monthly observing “his Texas bona fides are unimpeachable.” Into The Neon was also named among the top country albums of 2024 by Entertainment Focus and Whiskey Riff. The album yielded King’s first country radio single, “I Could Be That Rain.”

ABOUT RANDALL KING:
A West Texas native and self-described “old soul," Warner Music Nashville's Randall King has never wavered in his honky-tonk allegiance – in fact, he’s worn it like a badge of honor, growing with pride into a leading voice for today’s traditional country. Amassing nearly 500 Million streams with singles like “You In A Honky Tonk,” “Hey Cowgirl” and “Mirror, Mirror,” he’s kept the twang alive in country’s mainstream while also earning acclaim through deeply personal EPs like 2020’s Leanna, and his 2022 major label album debut, Shot Glass – which landed on both Whiskey Riff’s Top 40 Country Albums of 2022 and Billboard’s All Genre 50 Best Albums of 2022 (So Far). Schooled on icons like Keith Whitley, George Strait, Alan Jackson and John Anderson, but inspired by modern masters like Dierks Bentley and Gary Allan, King first built an independent, grass-roots following on the strength of his electrifying live shows – each one a harrowing mix of rowdy roughnecking, romantic tenderness and breathtaking emotion – never asking for permission to explore his creative vision. He has since gone on to headline all across the U.S., the U.K. and Europe, where he continues to play nearly 150 shows a year and hone his craft where it matters most. Named a Country Artist to Watch by everyone from Pandora and Country Now to Music Mayhem Magazine, his sophomore major label album Into the Neon, available now, takes that craft to the next level, as King’s neo-traditional roots meet the blood-pumping rhythms and sharp, arena-sized grooves of Y2K-era country and beyond. Co-produced by King and Jared Conrad, and featuring 18 tracks, punchy sounds exist side-by-side with timeless swagger, further blurring the line between yesteryear and today–even as King renews his forever-country vows. Into The Neon was named among the best country albums of the year by Whiskey Riff, Country Now & Entertainment Focus, and yielded King’s debut single, “I Could Be That Rain.”

Black Veil Brides Debut Video for First New Track of 2025 — The Blistering "Hallelujah"

On the heels of a successful tour alongside Baby Metal, Black Veil Brides are back with their first piece of new music since 2024's chart-topping single "Bleeders." The band — comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma — return to their roots with the aggressive new track "Hallelujah." The Tampa, Florida based choir "One Voice Ensemble" also lent their talents to the recording. The song is being released by their label partners Spinefarm and was produced by Biersack and Pitts. "Hallelujah" is now available via all digital service providers here.

"'Hallelujah' is an important song for us, not only because it is the first track from the new record, but also as a signifier of what's to come for the band. On a narrative level, it represents the themes and ideas I am exploring lyrically on the album. I am fascinated by the current state of discourse and how often we seem to prioritize ideological certainty over the heart and soul of humanity. Over the years, we have developed a tremendous connection with our audience, which is often dismissed or misinterpreted by the 'scene.' We stand at a unique inflection point culturally and I want to be able to speak openly about how much I believe in being true to yourself over the fear of mass hysteria or in-group recriminations," explains Biersack. "When my grandfather's voice spoke to 'the outcasts' in the first moments of our first record in 2010, it was a sincere call to arms for all those who feel different. In many ways this record is the natural evolution of that same idea. This is the heaviest and most vitriolic BVB record by far but more importantly I believe it is the most sincere and honest record we have ever made."

To coincide with the new single, Black Veil Brides are releasing an animated video for "Hallelujah." The video is directed by Marco Pavone (The Black Dahlia Murder, Pink Floyd, Shadow of Intent). The band will continue to release more visual content over the coming months to support the new song. A teaser for the track got fans in a frenzy when it was released last week.

The official music video for "Hallelujah" can be seen below.

The band will also be touring in support of the new single. The song will make its live performance debut at Warped Tour in Long Beach, CA on July 26. Black Veil Brides will also be making appearances at Louder Than Life in Louisville, KY (September 20), Rock The Locks Festival in Umatilla, OR (September 26), and Aftershock Festival (October 5) before heading to South America for six headline shows. The We Missed Ourselves Tour 2025 will also feature Underoath, Silverstein, Senses Fail, and I Set My Friends On Fire.

OF LIMBO Share Introspective New "Unplugged" LP

Long Beach, CA Rockers OF LIMBO are sharing an introspective side of their music with the release of the new “Unplugged” album.  Known for their raucous live shows and hard driving, heavy rock & roll, this new LP showcases a more thoughtful and deeper dive into their lyrical and musical abilities. The album showcases a reflective, acoustic sound with a mix of original songs and covers of 3 of their personal favorites.  The LP was self-produced and mixed at their home studio, and mastered by Brian Frederick of Long Beach Mastering.

The LP’s focus track is a cover of the iconic Radiohead track “Street Spirit”.  The song delves into the seeming inevitability of troubles and strife in life – and ultimately finding solace in love. The ethereal vocals, supported by the steady acoustic guitar line resemble the constant beating of a heart.  OF LIMBO’s Jake Davies says “My all-time most loved Radiohead song. I am so proud of Luke’s guitar work on this cover.  He wrote some guitar harmonies that really take it somewhere special. Our friend Lucas Holter from Whiskey & The Wolves is featured with us on this one and knocked it absolutely out of the park with his vocals. I got chills hearing him lay down his takes.”

The video for “Street Spirit” was directed by Brandon Vancour.  It was filmed on a beach in the Belmont shore neighborhood in Long Beach.  Jake explains “Radiohead’s video for this song is one of my favorite videos of all time. We knew we weren’t gonna be driving an airstream onto the beach and slow-mo me falling off it etc.  But we wanted to pay homage to the source material. Black and white, slow-motion moments - very dreamy. Lucas Holter gave a great performance in the video as well - Super proud of this one.”

The band is starting to play live shows in support of the album release, with a more extensive tour being booked for the fall.

The band has been steadily releasing music for the last 6 years, building a solid catalog.  In 2023 the release of “California Demon” saw band’s profile grow as the song was placed on multiple playlists on all major DSP platforms, and garnered widespread press acclaim including Loudwire, HEAVY, BraveWords, The PRP, Substream, Medium, Ramzine, Rock N’ Load, and more.  2022’s “Let’s Go” also received adds on multiple playlists on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and Pandora. The “Let’s Go” video made several Top 10 lists for Video Of The Year.  Other previously released songs include ‘Happened Again, ‘Nothing But Now’; ‘Nicotine’; and ‘Fight For Your Right’ (Beastie Boys cover).

Chicago Progressive Metal Aberrants DISSONA Set to Release Next Full-Length Album, 'Receptor,' on October 1, 2025

Beginning production in 2020, 'Receptor' was poised to be the immediate successor to DISSONA’s 2016 album 'Paleopneumatic' before the pandemic dashed the industry’s momentum upon the rocks. Time, however, has a curious way of reviving what was once forced into dormancy. Now completely realized and tangible, 'Receptor' is an electrifying journey that embodies DISSONA’s dynamic and unmistakable approach to the metal medium. DISSONA’s third album, 'Receptor,' is coming on October 1, 2025, via Earache Distribution.

First single, “Receptor”, is available right now for streaming. The title track is the culmination of everything DISSONA has built themselves to be and effectively serves as the overture to the 'Receptor' album. The song is at once a showcase of DISSONA’s inimitable sound, more mature and robust than ever, as well as a scene-setting piece to immerse the listener into the album’s distinct aural realm. Featuring the siren-like guest vocals of Laura Guldemond of Burning Witches fame, “Receptor” bursts forth with ferocious urgency and crackles with a fiery intensity. A churning rhythm section acts as the propulsive undercurrent, carrying waves of raging guitar, seething synth-work, and a powerhouse vocal performance, ultimately cresting to an iconic duet both haunting and captivating. “Receptor” can be heard right now on all streaming platforms and BandCamp.

In regard to the album, DISSONA states: 

“With 'Receptor,' we challenged ourselves harder than ever before to not only create something that tests our limits as performing musicians, but also burns bright with raw energy and real emotion. It is by far the most dynamic and focused work we have created–unadulterated and unyielding.”

DISSONA’s newest single, "Receptor," is available now digitally on all streaming platforms HERE. Digital and physical pre-orders of the full-length album, 'Receptor,' are available immediately HERE. Physical editions include two bonus tracks that will be unavailable digitally anywhere, ever. Additionally, the physical edition of the album includes a 12-page, hand-drawn art booklet designed solely by lead vocalist, David Dubenic.

Integrating tribal rhythms and ancient instruments into groove metal has won these modern day Mapuche warriors respect from the Chilean Grammys and scene elders like Mercyful Fate, Mastodon, Slipknot and Gojira. Now, with their third album and first for Season of Mist, the band are summoning a towering defense of their ancestral land. 

"Sung entirely in Mapudungun, it's as thematically enlightening as it is musically distinct", Metal Hammer UK writes about ÜL in an 8/10 review. "...these up-and-comers feel close to fully formed and vital to listen to".

"In a genre that too often forgets its own roots, Mawiza are digging deep into language, into legacy, into land and returning with something eternal", writes Metal Lair. "Not just a great Latin American metal record. One of the year's most important".  

ÜL comes out tomorrow, Friday, July 18, but you can hear all nine defiant anthems today by listening to the full album stream below.

"ÜL is the voice of the land, the origin of feeling, the first call to connect with emotions", Mawiza says. "Our new album is the materialization of a part of the spirit that, for a few seconds, becomes one with the wind - a force we can hear, feel resonating, communicate with, and return to. It is our indigenous chant, and like smoke, it rises as a message to the skies".

Hear Mawiza perform ÜL during their ongoing European tour with fellow Chilean metalheads Ater. 

Mawiza are a force of nature on ÜL. With sky-scraping riffs and earthshaking grooves, these nine chants call for the protection of Mapuche territory. Opening ceremony "Wingkawnoam" stomps to an industrial groove, but the song's bounding rhythm mirrors the way a deer dances while eluding its predators. "History is normally written by the colonizers", the band says. "We have to show the indigenous vision".

Mawiza have seen the Mapuche Nation endure tremendous hardships. With its storming leads and blood-pumping chants, "Ngulutu" echoes the ancient battles between the Spanish and Mapuche by channeling the strength of the Mapocho and Maipo rivers. Half of the video for “Mamüll Reke” was filmed on Mapuche territory in southern Chile, outside the city of Valdivia, that is now controlled by two timbre companies.

But the band are steeled by the resistance of not only their Mapuche ancestors but also their land. Soaring above the clouds with brightly piercing flute, "Mamüll Reke" draws its harmonious energy from a mournful Afafan war cry. "Mamüll reke / Lhalu witxan / Afafalen / Lhayaiñ ka (Just like the tree / that dies standing / chanting the war cry / we will die too)". 

"The Mapuche are still standing", Mawiza's vocalist and guitarist Awka says. "You can cut us down, but if one falls, ten shall rise".

ARION Ignite The World With Lyric Video For "From An Empire To A Fall"

Finnish melodic metal force ARION have released a brand new lyric video for ‘From An Empire To A Fall,’ the original third single from their acclaimed new album The Light That Burns The Sky (out now via Reigning Phoenix Music). Set against a cinematic, post-apocalyptic backdrop, the video captures the song’s explosive energy and themes of defiance, struggle, and rebirth.

Guitarist and songwriter Iivo Kaipainen shares: “‘From An Empire To A Fall’ is finally getting a video of its own! This song is about former underdogs feeling empowered and showing their big bad opponent what they’re made of. Fire with fire!”

Fuelled by thunderous drumming, searing riffs and a soaring chorus, "From An Empire To A Fall" is one of the standout tracks on The Light That Burns The Sky, a record hailed for its modern melodic metal mastery.

About ARION

Formed in 2011, ARION first made a significant mark on the metal scene with their debut album Last Of Us in 2014. Their sophomore effort, “Life Is Not Beautiful,” featuring the breakthrough single "At The Break Of Dawn [feat. Elize Ryd]," solidified their status and earned them major support slots with Finnish bands like BATTLE BEAST, WINTERSUN, and SONATA ARCTICA.

The release of Vultures Die Alone in 2021 during the pandemic propelled their burgeoning career even further, leading to extensive touring in subsequent years. While supporting established metal bands such as GLORYHAMMER and BLOODBOUND, the quintet also performed at a selection of prestigious European festivals and celebrated their US live debut at ProgPower USA in 2022, before closing their “Vultures Die Alone” live chapter supporting prog metal giants DREAM THEATER in 2023.

With their new album The Light That Burns The Sky ready for release and years of touring experience, including many headlining dates in their home country, ARION are poised to extend the reach of their melodic metal legacy worldwide. The group additionally celebrated the album’s launch with a Central European co-headlining tour alongside their label mates BRAINSTORM as well as more Finnish shows with heavyweights SONATA ARCTICA and STRATOVARIUS.
