RICK WAKEMAN & SON An All New Show Rick Wakeman Featuring Special Guest Oliver Wakeman Performing a limited run of shows in March 2026

RICK WAKEMAN CBE is pleased to announce his rescheduled US tour dates for 2026. Following the postponement of his July 2025 concerts with vocalist Hayley Sanderson due to Rick’s impending surgery, existing commitments mean that sadly, Hayley is no longer available to join him on the road, but instead, he will be touring for the first time ever with his son, Oliver. Although they have occasionally performed together in the past, this will be the first opportunity to see the pair in their brand new WAKEMAN & SON show.

Both former keyboard players with YES and the Strawbs, as well as being highly successful, award-winning musicians in their own right, WAKEMAN & SON will be performing music which ranges from their joint musical heritage to their latest recordings.

Already one of the most in-demand session players of his generation before joining YES, after leaving the band, Rick became renowned for his prog rock extravaganzas, such as Journey To The Centre Of The Earth and The Myths And Legends Of King Arthur And The Knights Of The Round Table, as well his numerous tours with both his band, the English Rock Ensemble, and as a solo pianist.

Oliver’s solo career encompasses several critically acclaimed solo albums, collaborations with highly regarded musicians like Clive Nolan (Pendragon/Arena), Steve Howe (YES/Asia) and Gordon Giltrap, a series of poetry CD’s which featured Shakespearean actor Derek Jacobi, and a variety of art and music projects with fantasy artist Rodney Matthews.

While father and son have performed on the same stage in the past – most notably, at a performance of The Myths And Legends of King Arthur… at London’s O2 Arena, they have never toured together before.

“It’s always an honour for me to share the stage with one of my wonderful children,” says Rick, “and for the first time, it’s a thrill to be actually doing a tour with my eldest son Oliver. I know it will be very special – especially if, on the odd occasion, he buys me dinner!!”

Don’t miss this unique opportunity to see two legendary keyboard players in concert together!

Future Palace Sign With Century Media + Share Video for New Song "Cyclone"

Germany's FUTURE PALACE are making major moves to catapult their already promising career to the next level. The German band is  thrilled to announce that it has signed with Century Media worldwide. 

To celebrate the partnership, they have shared the video for the new single "Cyclone."

Watch it below. 

This is the first taste of new music since last year's DISTORTION, which arrived in September 2024.

"Cyclone" is about the war that often wages within oneself, with the band saying, "It's about how an old version of yourself kept fighting you, especially referring to depression and how draining it can be to avoid turning back into that old version and trying to represent some sort of rebirth of yourself, focusing on the self-conflict. A cyclone tries to rip you apart and invade your peace and can be almost impossible to fight against."
 
The themes of mental health, growing and healing, distancing yourself from past versions of yourself have long been a part of Future Palace's music and that continues with "Cyclone." The song's energy effectively mirrors the effort it takes to prevent yourself from reverting to the old you that you would like to leave behind. 
 
The band shares, "We used a sample with the word 'amen,' which started just as an and was later interpreted by as a sign of rebirth — amen and goodbye to your old self.”
 
It also boasts the most monstrous breakdown the band has ever put to tape.

Future Palace are also embarking on their first-ever tour of North America this fall. All dates are below.

FUTURE PALACE ON TOUR:
9/25 — Baltimore, MD — Metro Gallery

Hooded Menace Cover Duran Duran

Since making their accursed debut in the late 2000s, Hooded Menace have paved the way for hordes of metal maniacs who enjoy headbanging to more creepily, crushing tempos. On their upcoming seventh album, the Finnish horror lovers still stand between two realms of the underground with the unshakable force of a pillar. But as uncovered by its new single's surprise twist, Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration continues to break the mold that the band set for death-doom.   

Today, Hooded Menace are releasing their cover of "Save a Prayer", the enduring smash from English new wavers Duran Duran. While the song's latest video is styled with gothic flair, when hammered by the band's blood-stained signature, this pop gem glows in a ghoulish new light.    

Watch Hooded Menace cover "Save a Prayer" below.

MicroPitching and other effects aren't the only tricks of the trade that are pulled out from under Hooded Menace's cloak. Traditional death-doomers might have been pleasantly surprised by the band covering W.A.S.P., so imagine the delighted screams upon hearing a Top of the Pops' gem like "Save a Prayer" splattered in their signature blood-soaked dread. Lasse's riffs still cement the rock-solid foundation beneath Lachrymose Monuments of Obscuration, but even he was surprised when sculpting its lead single. What should appear from the double bass swirling amidst "Portrait Without a Face" but the moan of a cello. Like an echo from beyond the grave, the cry of strings reappears during the album's grand finale. Former live bassist Antti Poutanen sorrowfully saws as the band marches, gallops then sinks back "Into Haunted Oblivion".  

On Lachyrmose Monuments of Obscuration, Hooded Menace cast death-doom in a ghostly new light.

BASTARD CROSS Announce New Album 'Crossripper'

This Halloween, blackened metalpunk band BASTARD CRÖSS will unveil the auditory blasphemy that is their forthcoming album, Crossripper via Morbid and Miserable. The debut full-length as been heavily inspired by horror movies, and draws from religious history notably dark and violent documented events. The music video for the first single and title track is available now. 

BASTARD CRÖSS bring "Crossripper" to life through the medium of B-Movie horror. Filled with the harrowing chants of the names of seven demons, aggressive thrash riffs, and shifting dynamics make for a thrilling and gloomy display. The track traverses the heavy weight of slower tempos and sections with a more raucous pace until it reaches its gory end. 

About BASTARD CRÖSS: 
The blasphemous quartet emerged from the crypts in Philadelphia in the grim winter of 2021, releasing their self-titled EP in the same year. This was followed by a Split with BLACK KNIFE in 2022 (released via JEMS), and 2023 saw the arrival of the Beasts of the Night EP and the Faster than the Devil 2 split (released via Wiseblood Records). The upcoming 2025 offering Crossripper (via Morbid and Miserable), sees the band extend even further into the hellish realms of their extreme sound. 

BASTARD CRÖSS' musical influences stem from a menagerie of metallic inspirations from thrash (SLAYER, EXODUS) to black metal (DISSECTION) and punk aggression (ANTI-CIMEX). The band experiment with melodic harmonies layered above loud and dirty riffs. The band's distinctive edge derives in part from the two vocalists who combine influences from early black and death metal.

BASTARD CRÖSS explain that they combine their "love for classic horror media with black metal, thrash and punk to create intense, aggressive metalpunk splashed with twin vocal attacks, powerful guitar harmonies and crusty bass tones. Our songs can appeal to horror fans, metalheads and punks alike."

BASTARD CRÖSS is: 
Blasphemous Axe (Guitars/Vocals)
Heathen Chevalier (Vocals/Guitars)
Beheader of Priests (Bass)
Infernal Bastard (Drums)

We Came As Romans + Currents Release Reimagined Version Of “Bad Luck” Feat. Anthony Notarmaso (After The Burial)

Just weeks after wrapping their triumphant Bad Luck U.S. headline tour, metalcore mainstays We Came As Romans have unveiled a reimagined version of single “bad luck”, this time joined by tourmates Currents and Anthony Notarmaso of After The Burial—two of the standout support acts from the tour’s powerhouse lineup. Stream We Came As Romans & Currents - bad luck feat Anthony Notarmaso HERE and watch the visualizer Below.

Originally released as the lead single from All Is Beautiful…Because We’re Doomed—We Came As Romans’ most thematically ambitious and emotionally honest record to date—“bad luck” quickly became a cornerstone of the album’s reflection on grief, transformation, and survival. Stream the album now HERE. The reimagined version brings new weight and perspective, layering in Brian Wille’s commanding vocals and Anthony Notarmaso’s unmistakable intensity. What began as a personal reckoning now expands, bridging three of the scene’s most respected forces into a single moment of cathartic heaviness.

“We were fans of We Came As Romans and After The Burial long before having the pleasure of touring with them and making some life-long memories together,” shares Brian Wille of Currents. “It was a great time getting to collaborate on this new version of bad luck and we’re very excited to share it with all of you!”

“I’m very flattered and honored that the WCAR boys wanted to include me on such an awesome track,” adds Anthony Notarmaso of After The Burial. “I still have the song stuck in my head!”

The release follows We Came As Romans’ sold-out U.S. tour run and arrives ahead of their upcoming fall headline tour across Europe and the UK with Brand Of Sacrifice and Heavensgate, as well as appearances at major US festivals Louder Than Life and When We Were Young Fest.

ABOUT WE CAME AS ROMANS

We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still—effortlessly moving between metal, alternative, metalcore, and rock.

The Michigan-born five-piece—Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—first broke through with Tracing Back Roots (2013), which cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit #1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.

Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band has continued to honor his legacy with their 2022 album, Darkbloom, their highest-praised record to date. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it "a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend." It featured career-defining tracks like "Black Hole" (ft. Caleb Shomo), now over 102 million Spotify streams, and "Daggers" (ft. Zero 9:36), which surpassed 32 million streams. Media outlets including Loudwire and Consequence praised the album for its emotional range, sonic heft, and unapologetic vulnerability.

Now, with 'ALL IS BEAUTIFUL...BECAUSE WE'RE DOOMED,' the band enters their most ambitious chapter yet—scarred, sharpened, and more fearless than ever.

THE FELL RELEASE SECOND SINGLE “FACE OUT”

The Fell is a modern rock powerhouse fronted by dynamic vocalist Toby Rand, featuring legendary bassist Billy Sheehan, acclaimed producer/guitarist Mike Krompass and explosive drummer Nick Chiarore. The band’s first single, “Killswitch,” has racked up over 65k views since it’s August release while garnering accolades along the way. 
 

“Face Out” is the powerful new single that captures the thrill of breaking free but understanding the gravity of holding on. The lyrics explore the primal tension between escape into the unknown, whilst keeping the anchor of connection and love. “Face Out” is a rock n’ roll dreamscape showcasing Rand’s raw/emotional vocals, with Mike (K.) Krompass’ signature guitar prowess mixed Sheehan’s undeniable Bass supremacy. It’s a bold reminder that sometimes, we have to let go to truly come alive.

'Face Out’ is really about realizing that sometimes the hardest thing to do is let go — but it’s also the only way forward. It’s not the letting go that holds you back, it’s when you can’t. Once you release the weight of the past, you can actually see what’s ahead of you.” – Mike K. (The Fell)

'Face Out’ is a bold reminder that “Sometimes we have to let go to truly come alive"- Toby Rand (The Fell)

Progressive Rock Trio RAIBARD Unveils First Single, "Time", From Upcoming Album 'Postscript'

Progressive rock trio RAIBARD have unveiled the first single, "Time", off of their upcoming album Postscript, arriving on March 2nd. "Time" introduces the album with gorgeous baroque stylings and a classical guitar flair. The lyrics contemplate aging and the loss of youth, offering a pointedly critical perspective and arguing that time is often not on one's side.  

The band asks listeners to consider, "What happens when you reach the age when you realize time is not on our side anymore? When you realize that life is fleeting, and that you may never reach where you wanted to? The song is basically about finding hope, even though and precisely because things haven't gone the way you want."

Watch the lyric video for "Time" Below.

About RAIBARD:
RAIBARD began in March 2016 in the Boston area, three musicians from different corners of rock who heard the same call. Daniel Gil brought a songwriter’s poetry and a composer’s ear. Phil MacKay arrived with a drummer’s intuition and a love of pulse. Greg Dellaria carried the weight and warmth that only a bassist who has lived in heavy music can summon. Together they set out to build songs that lift the listener. The goal was simple and stubborn. Make music that feels like an internal elevation. Offer an alternative to the hyper technological churn and return people to presence.

The sound they forged is rooted in alternative and progressive rock. You can hear the charge of LED ZEPPELIN and DEEP PURPLE, the adventurous spirit of RUSH and KANSAS, the acoustic intimacy that runs through JETHRO TULL and GOMEZ, the grand contours that fans of KING CRIMSON and THE GATHERING recognize. Listeners have compared the band to PEARL JAM, TALKING HEADS, DINOSAUR JR., SOUNDGARDEN, and RUSH, yet RAIBARD lands in its own space. Earth toned. Melodic. Unafraid of risk. Never a nostalgia trip.

That identity comes from process. The trio practices daily on their own, writes through open ended explorations, then meets weekly to do both hard work and flow work. One rehearsal is spent solving problems and tightening parts. The next leans into the moment to let the music breathe. Onstage the band is focused and quietly intense. Interaction happens between songs, and during them the communication moves inward. The energy stays high, the execution stays honest, and the chemistry stays locked.

Key songs have become touchstones for fans. “Angel of the Clockwork” twists from hushed reflection to sky opening release. “Dark Realm of the Daylight” paints in shadow and brass light. “Forest of Song” is a slow build that rewards patience. “The False Prophet” carries a warning and a wall of sound. On the current album, Postscript, “Still Your Name” expands the palette with a guest turn from keyboardist Jeff Kolter.

The three members broaden the canvas beyond RAIBARD as well. Greg plays in OXBLOOD FORGE. Greg and Phil both cut their teeth in ICHABOD. Daniel is also a classical composer whose work has been released on record, and his string quartet earned first round consideration in the 66th Grammy Awards for Contemporary Classical Composition. Those threads feed back into the band, adding grit, scope, and nuance.

RAIBARD writes for people who still crave direct sound and real ideas. The music asks you to set the news cycle down, to loosen the grip on strict computation, to listen with immediate human awareness. These songs are built for rooms where strangers become an audience and an audience becomes a choir. Not machines. Not algorithms. Just three players and a shared current, inviting you to rise.

Savage Lands Release Live Hellfest Video

SAVAGE LANDS are releasing the full video of their star-studded performance at last year’s Hellfest. The metal non-profit, which was founded by Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren and musician-turned-activist Sylvain Demercastel, performed songs off their debut album Army of the Trees on the festival’s main stage alongside Vincent Price (Body Count), Billy Graziadei (Biohazard), Shane Embury (Napalm Death), Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) and other leading voices from across the world of metal.

Watch Savage Lands’ star-studded performance at Hellfest Below.

Army of the Trees is out now on Season of Mist.

Just listening to Army of the Trees helps support Savage Lands. 100% of the song’s royalties fund the musician-run non-profit’s ongoing preservation efforts.

Last year’s Hellfest 2024 marked a turning point for Savage Lands. The festival announced that they are donating €1 million to support the organization’s reforestation and biodiversity initiatives in Costa Rica and Europe. Their performance concluded with a stirring rendition of “Roots Bloody Roots,” which amplified the project’s rallying call for ecological action.

Beyond the stage, Savage Lands continue to grow. In France, they recently launched the Alliance of the Trees with three local associations: Association Francis Hallé, Etats Sauvages and Semeurs de Forêts. Together, these organizations will coordinate reforestation and preservation efforts on a national scale.

Savage Lands is also preparing a landmark initiative for this Saturday, September 20. In collaboration with Heilung, Hellfest Productions, the Jane Goodall Institute France, and Association Protection des Animaux Sauvages (ASPAS), Savage Lands will bring 10 metal fans to witness the inauguration of the first Jane Goodall wildlife reserve in Brittany, France.

Savage Lands' debut album introduces several new species of metalhead to their ecosystem. Eurovision’s darlings Lord Of The Lost spill their blood and glitter over the spiky riffs that puncture “Out of Breath”. Holding court over lead single “Ruling Queen” with her serpentine cleans and lioness roar is none other than Arch Enemy’s Alissa White-Gluz. “Now is the time to take a stand”, the band roar in a fierce rallying cry during the album’s climactic title track, backed by Julien Truchan from Benighted and other pillars from the French metal community.

“Our goals are attainable,” Sylvain and Dirk say. “By converting the land that we purchase into nature sanctuaries, Savage Lands will help set a precedent for environmental activism. But we must work together and quickly. Ecosystems are still under attack. If we don’t, then there won’t be any wildlife left to save”.

Raise your horns and join the Army of the Trees in support of the metal  non-profit.

DIE SPITZ SOMETHING TO CONSUME OUT NOW

'Something To Consume’ lives up to its name, as the four 22-year-olds purge every ounce of anger and sorrow onto the eleven songs that complete their debut. Whether the outcome be metal, shoegaze, punk, or an undefinable hybrid of the aforementioned, one thing remains certain: Die Spitz are not to be fucked with. - CLASH

"Ludicrously urgent and deeply fierce, Die Spitz are vital and explosive" - FLOOD
 
"Future superstars" - Kerrang
 
“A fierce, fearless debut.” - DIY
 
"Four front-grrrls declaring war on your comfort zones" - The London Standard

The Intemperate Sons Release Single "Saturday Is Always Hard" + Music Video via FRAME|WORK ​

Alt-Rockers, The Intemperate Sons, have released the third track, "Saturday Is Always Hard," from their upcoming third studio album, Ephemera, set for release in winter 2025. 

“Saturday Is Always Hard” is a departure from some of the heavier tracks listeners have become accustomed to.  The song is a reflective journey of knowing you’re losing someone and the thoughts that clutter your mind waiting for that day.  The Intemperate Sons venture slightly into more heavier pop territory with this track using haunting keys and dark, yet jazzy guitar tone.  It’s the kind of song that sticks with you, perfect for anyone who loves music that feels real and hits deep. 

Stream/Download "Saturday Is Always Hard":

https://onerpm.link/309017549520

https://linktr.ee/theintemperatesons

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicidein Long Beach, CA.  All mastering is done by Mike Marsh Mastering in the U.K.

In the sweltering Dallas summer of 2019, before the onset of a global pandemic, The Intemperate Sons were born from blood, grit, and a shared obsession with the ghosts of alternative rock’s golden age. The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys—joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create a sound that’s equal parts searing riffs, haunting harmonies, and unapologetic soul. Think Alice in Chains’ brooding intensity, Stone Temple Pilots’ swagger, and R.E.M.’s poetic undercurrent, all filtered through a ‘70s rock haze that refuses to play it safe.

This isn’t just a band; it’s a family affair, where the unspoken bond between father and sons fuels every chord and lyric. Keith, a Dallas stage veteran, pens lyrics that cut deep—tales of regret, resilience, and the chaos of the human condition. Jake’s guitar lines, sharp yet soulful, weave narratives of their own, while Max’s voice carries the weight of a 25-year-old who’s lived a lifetime in his head. Mark, the groove-obsessed bassist, ties it all together.

The Intemperate Sons hit the ground running, catching the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man”that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) on singles like “Running Man” and “Dust to Dust” and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.

For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation—a reminder of why you fell in love with the genre’s raw honesty and a promise that its spirit still burns. The Intemperate Sons aren’t chasing trends; they’re carving their own path, one riff, one lyric, one night at a time.performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style which has a retro vibe with many guitar driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate on a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and even R.E.M.

The Intemperate Sons are:

Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass)

Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)

Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)

Mark Marks (bass)

The Intemperate Sons Show Dates:

Sun Sept 27 @ Red River Revel Music Festival 2025 in Shreveport, LA

Fri Oct 17 @ Whisky A Go Go in Hollywood, CA w/ Julien K, for all the emptiness, Our Frankenstein, Skyplant, Vanta After Dark

Avralize Unleash A New Single

Germany's metalcore force AVRALIZE are entering a new era with their sophomore album liminal, set for release on November 14 via Arising Empire. Following the breakout success of their debut FREAKS, which earned over 5.5 million Spotify streams, the band has already unveiled "upside down," "helium," "wanderlust," "close to you," and "medicine."

Now they return with the crushing new single "bite my tongue."

About the track, the band shares, "'bite my tongue' is a song that embodies the tension we all carry inside – that battle between what we feel and what we’re able to say out loud. It's about the weight of holding back, the pressure that builds up when you bury emotions, and the way it can twist you up until you finally explode. The riffs, the grooves, the heaviness — it all mirrors the choking on your own words and the relief that comes when you finally let it all out. For us, 'bite my tongue' isn't just another single — it's a statement. It's us showing another side of AVRALIZE: Groovier, sharper, but also deeply human. If you've ever felt like you were drowning in the things you couldn't say, this one is for you."

With liminal on the horizon, AVRALIZE are proving once again why they are one of Germany’s most exciting heavy acts — unafraid to evolve, unafraid to hit harder, and ready to define the next chapter of modern metalcore.

From Fall To Spring Unleash A New Single

With "CHASING THE HIGH," FROM FALL TO SPRING are releasing their most emotional and powerful track to date. The single showcases the full range of the band's songwriting: from atmospheric depth to explosive energy. Driven by a haunting topline, cinematic tension and a chorus that instantly sticks, the song balances vulnerability and power in a way only this band can.

Just two weeks before the release of their new album ENTRY WOUNDS, "CHASING THE HIGH" sets the emotional tone. It marks the moment of impact, triggering everything that follows. A deep inner wound, a loss that can’t be undone, a feeling that something is broken and might never return.

Despite the weight of its message, the song is accessible and full of reach. The melodies hit hard and stay. The production is massive, but never overwhelming. It's a modern heavy anthem that still sounds unmistakably like FROM FALL TO SPRING – intense, dynamic, and honest.

With this single, the band once again proves their ability to combine heavy music with emotional clarity and real songwriting instincts.

"CHASING THE HIGH" is more than just a song. It’s the start of the fall.

From Fall to Spring states. "'CHASING THE HIGH'  is our emotional crash in song form. It explores the addiction to something that’s breaking you — but you still can't let it go. Escaping a toxic spiral is hard… whether it's love or your own mind. And sometimes, all that's left is a scar to remind you it was real."

I See Stars Release New Album 'THE WHEEL' & Drop New Music Video "carry on for you" via Sumerian Records

Electronic hardcore pioneers I See Stars have released their new album 'THE WHEEL' via Sumerian Records. The full-length is the band's latest body of music since their smash-hit 2016 album, 'Treehouse'. In celebration of the news, the quartet has released the official music video for the poignant track "carry on for you". Speaking about the album, the band shared:

"The last time we spent this much time on a record was our debut album, '3D'. 'The Wheel' is a time capsule capturing the past seven years of our lives. It’s a culmination of everything we’ve experienced individually, together, and as human beings navigating the chaos of the world. We truly poured everything into it & we are so excited to finally share it with our fans."

I See Stars fans across Australia and Asia will soon have their chance to see the band on the road, followed up by a performance at Vans Warped Tour Orlando in November. 'THE WHEEL' is available now on all streaming platforms at the link here. Watch "carry on for you" below, and be sure to stay tuned for more I See Stars news coming soon.

ABOUT I SEE STARS

Somehow, it’s been nearly a decade since the last I See Stars album. There have, however, been a few hints and glimpses of it over the past couple of years. In 2023, the electronicore pioneers released four songs: “Anomaly”, “Drift”, “are we 3ven” and “D4MAGE DONE”, while in 2024 they put out “SPLIT”. While all five songs do appear on this record, they only revealed a fraction of what the band—these days comprised of Brent Allen (guitar), Andrew Oliver (keyboards/programming), Devin Oliver (clean and unclean vocals) and Jeff Valentine (bass)—had in store. Because THE WHEEL, the band’s sixth full-length, is an album in the truest sense of the word, one designed to be listened to in full from beginning to end, and which truly immerses you in its world when you do. It’s the product of a lot of patience, a lot of care, a lot of time, some of which was by design, some of which was out of the band’s control. 

After releasing Treehouse in 2016 and then touring on it, I See Stars did actually start working on a new album, but when Covid hit, they scrapped pretty much all of it to instead sharpen their focus. There was, after all, nothing but time, so the band decided to spend it making a record that lived up to their own expectations and which fully matched their artistic vision.

“It gave us the opportunity to take a step back and really dive into what we wanted to actually dig in and write,” says Jeff. “Not that what was done before was bad, but this gave the four of us an opportunity to sit in a room with each other and just write.”

As such, THE WHEEL is a fully-formed living memory of both of those eras, and one that places the listener right there with the band. “It's really kind of a special piece,” continues Devin, “and you feel that in the journey when you're listening to the album front to back. You feel us swimming in the mystery of what life was doing and where it was taking us.”

Produced by David Bendeth, and mostly mixed by Zakk Cervini—though Tom Norris also worked on a couple of tracks—THE WHEEL took on a life of its own when the band started making it. The album begins with “Spin It”, which is simply the sound of a wheel being spun. It’s not just for aesthetic purposes, though. In the studio each day, the band would spin a web-based digital wheel to determine which song they would work on, but it was also a way to add some levity to the creative process. 

“We would throw all the songs onto this website wheel,” remembers Andrew, “as well as some dumb, totally not creative thing in there that would like sidetrack us—but purposefully. It was this comedic approach that we were taking every day, where whatever the wheel told us to do, we’d do. It had these zany sound effects, but also created this weird vibe where we were like ‘We've just got to trust fate here.’ We're all obsessed with fate and letting things happen as they might, so the sound effect was an obvious thing for us to include—and then it took shape into a much larger concept.”

“What I really loved about the wheel concept,” adds Devin, “was it wasn't our choice. It was our choice to leave it to chance, yes, but we trusted the universe to point us in the right direction by spinning the wheel. It started off as a joke, but turned into this thing that became really important for us.”

Beyond the idea of fate and purpose, there are some other complex and deeply personal themes on this record. The yearning, tragedy-laced “carry on for you”—undoubtedly one of the saddest, most beautiful songs on the record—was written after Devin and Andrew lost their uncle to pancreatic cancer, while a number of the other songs detail Devin’s struggle with a condition called intracranial hypertension that’s caused as a result of too much fluid in the brain.

“It made me very familiar with the hospital,” says Devin. “I was hospitalized for months on end and that lasted for about two years of my life. So a lot of this record is about that. I don't deal with the chronic pain that I had from that anymore, and some would say the condition is in remission, but it's really hard for me to listen to some of these songs—truly—because there were a lot of moments writing this record where I didn't want to be alive. That's really hard for me to admit, because I'm not that person who talks about this stuff openly. I talk about it through our music—my traumas come out through my artistic expression. So listening to the record really gets emotional for me, because I'm not in the same place I once was. I'm super grateful to not be in all that pain.”

It all combines to make a record that’s as cerebral as it is visceral, as vulnerable as it is powerful, and as pure as anything I See Stars have made in their almost two-decade long career. After a long time in stasis, it’s clear to hear just how rejuvenated and refreshed they are, even as final track “Curtain Call” speeds off into the distance. That song is, as Devin calls it, “a wheel of emotion”, and ends with a question (well, two) repeated over and over again: ‘Will you ever love? Will you ever love me?’ “'Curtain Call' is tapping on every fucking thing we talked about on the whole record in one song,” says Devin. “It's almost like the wheel spinning in song form—it keeps turning round and is just racing through time and emotions. And the question we ask at the end of the song has a lot to do with the band. Will I ever be enough as an artist? Will the fans ever see us for everything we've put into this, which essentially at this point is our entire lives?”

Even just one listen to this record and it’s pretty clear that the answer to both those questions is a resounding yes.

CLAWFINGER New Video Single "Ball & Chain"; From the upcoming Album 'Before We All Die'

After an 18-year silence on the album front, CLAWFINGER are finally back – louder, sharper, and more defiant than ever! Known for their pioneering fusion of metal, rap, and unflinching social commentary, the Swedish-Norwegian powerhouse returns with their brand new record, Before We All Die, that will rekindle the fire which made them one of Europe’s most groundbreaking crossover acts. This long-awaited comeback marks not just a return, but a reinvention – proof that true intensity never fades.

Before We All Die arrives February 20, 2026 on PERCEPTION - A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music. 
 
The first album appetizer "Scum" (listen here) debuted July 2nd and managed to cross the threshold of 100k streams within 2 weeks, a great start after a long absence. Even with a recent live performance of their hit 'Biggest & Best' currently going viral on Instagram, CLAWFINGER are being rediscovered by a new generation of metal fans — showing that their music remains as powerful and relevant as ever, nearly two decades after their last album. Now, CLAWFINGER strike back with their new single "Ball & Chain"!

With "Ball & Chain", the band unleashes a track that fuses relentless riffs and raw energy with frontman Zak Tell’s unflinching honesty. The single, captured in a fiery live video from this summer’s festival stages, reflects on identity, change, and the struggle to find meaning in a chaotic world — all with the band’s trademark mix of power, grit, and tongue-in-cheek self-awareness. It’s CLAWFINGER at their most direct and human: heavy, urgent, and impossible to ignore.

Watch the video clip below.

Loud, furious, darkly humorous and brutally honest, CLAWFINGER’s Before We All Die is everything you forgot you needed - and exactly what you'd expect from a band that never cared much for subtlety.

“This isn’t about finding peace,” Zak says. “It’s about telling the truth - even when it’s ugly. Especially then.”

From environmental collapse to political hypocrisy, personal disillusionment to collective denial, this is CLAWFINGER at full volume - still pissed off, still sharp as ever, and still refusing to shut up while the world pretends it’s all fine.

“This album is part protest, part therapy, and part middle finger,” the band adds. “We’re not offering solutions. We’re screaming because silence is surrender.”

About CLAWFINGER

CLAWFINGER are considered pioneers of European rap-metal. Formed in Stockholm in the early 1990s, the Swedish-Norwegian band made an explosive debut with Deaf Dumb Blind [1993], blending aggressive guitar riffs with politically charged lyrics and rap vocals. The album sold over 600,000 copies worldwide - more than 250,000 in Germany alone - and won a Swedish Grammis award in the hardrock/metal category.

CLAWFINGER’s follow-up Use Your Brain [1995] continued their success with chart placements across Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Sweden. Over the years, they released seven studio albums including A Whole Lot Of Nothing, Zeros & Heroes, Hate Yourself With Style, and Life Will Kill You, selling over 1.5 million records worldwide.

Known for their direct, riff-driven sound and strong political stance, CLAWFINGER address topics such as racism, political delusion, drug policy, environmental destruction, and social inequality. In the 1990s, they toured intensively with acts like ALICE IN CHAINS, MEGADETH and FAITH NO MORE and appeared at major festivals including Rock am Ring, Roskilde, and Monsters of Rock in South America.

After a brief hiatus, the band returned in 2014 and has since released new singles like "Save Our Souls" [2017] and "Environmental Patients" [2022]. In 2025, CLAWFINGER signed a new label deal with PERCEPTION, with more music on the way - still as loud, sharp, and uncompromising as ever.

Beast Eagle- Sorceress Via Golden Robot Records Out 21 November 2025

Mesmerizing groove riffs and fiercely enchanting vocals await in this magical new offering, Sorceress. Highly compelling with guitar-driven arrangements ensnaring melodies and lyrical hooks, Sorceress will arrive on November 21st, 2025, via Golden Robot Records. 

"Sharp Tongue" introduces Sorceress with a gritty edge. The EP's narrative begins here, "telling the story of a witch who’s more afraid of herself than anyone else is. As her powers grow stronger, so does the fear she’s losing control." Balancing light and shade across the high octane instrumentation, the protagonist's fate could fall in either direction. 

The alluring "The Dead Follow" continues the story of a witch awakening - finding herself and her power. "The track channels that disorientation into raw, driving energy, blending mysticism with rebellion." BEAST EAGLE explain. "It’s a gritty anthem for anyone who’s ever grown into something stronger and stranger than the world was ready for."

Increasing the voltage, the electrifying "Send Me Down" sees a consortium of riffs entwine and wind alongside alluring vocal harmonies. The thunderous nature reflects our witch's sinister turn: "banished to a dark realm, the witch doesn't hide or run—she rises. [...] This is her kingdom now. It’s loud, it’s wicked, and it’s hers. Bow down or burn."  

An eerie anticipation emerges through the dark and discordant "Witch Hunt". The vengeance of a tormented village brings to fruition in a blaze of smoke and fire: "this isn’t just a song—it’s a reckoning set to a riot of sound. No one escapes the flames."

A crushing betrayal concludes BEAST EAGLE's mystical tale. Abrasive riffs and intense rhythms reveal the epic twist of fate in the witch's journey as the village she once protected turn against her. It is not the end however, "fire doesn’t silence her—it awakens something deeper. As the flames rise, so does her final, eternal curse."

About BEAST EAGLE
Soaring out of Omaha, Nebraska, heavy quartet BEAST EAGLE evoke a powerful take on hard rock driven by rock 'n' roll sensibilities. Influenced by the likes of KYUSS, HE IS LEGEND, and MASTODON, the band's huge sound is spearheaded by a fury of riffs and unyielding vocals. Since forming in 2019, BEAST EAGLE unleashed their first full length Loud at Flat Black Studios in 2021 with the self-titled EP following in 2023. Most recently, BEAST EAGLE were bestowed the title of Omaha Entertainment Award Association Best Hard Rock Band 2025. The forthcoming guitar-led, blues influenced offering, Sorceress is set to be unveiled on November 21st, 2025, via Golden Robot Records.
