CONJURER have evolved radically since the release of their debut album (Mire, 2018), and their second release (Páthos, 2022) saw them lauded among the most exciting British metal bands. Whilst award nominations and accolades accumulated, the four-piece band retained their very simple mission: to make heavy music and have fun whilst doing so. Preferring to use their spotlight to showcase technicality and musicality rather than centring politics or opinions, CONJURER lived in the moment and embraced everything that came their way.
  
Within the tumult of forging a renewed identity as a band, on Unself there is a more intense, more personal voyage of discovery unfurling for vocalist/guitarist Dani Nightingale. Diagnosed with autism at age 31, their long-held view of self, and perception of their place in the world began to unravel. Unself documents much of the piecing back together around the diagnosis, alongside the realisation they were non-binary. 
  
These vignettes of processing and self-actualisation take place against the backdrop of a society careening towards glassy-eyed capitalist dystopia; finding firm footing eludes many of us - and CONJURER delve headfirst into exploring these suffocating new societal parameters.
 
Within Unself's nine tracks, CONJURER deliver the writhing post-metal sound they’ve become known for, but have loosened their grip on the desire to fill every moment with sonic obliteration. Instead, they have leaned into utilising space, gifting listeners a little breathing room which serves to make the heavy elements feel all the more intense. 
  
A more direct, organic approach to songwriting was facilitated by the ever-strengthening bonds within the band, and the supportive environment created by producer Joe Clayton. Allowing themselves more time than with any previous recording experience, they committed to preproduction sessions, followed by an elongated recording period in order to do justice to the material they had crafted. Stripping back the excesses of previous outings to reveal their solid songwriting chops allowed for more clarity and more dynamics to shine through. To their ears, the mood, the core of the lyrical content and the music are more aligned than ever before. 
  
This record is the sound of four individuals living with more purpose and as a consequence creating with more purpose. Unself sees them reaching out to offer community, catharsis and connection. CONJURER remain true to their original mission - they’re still having fun, playing interesting heavy music - but now that music is imbued with the power that comes from opening themselves up to others, at first within the band, and now beyond.

Joan As Police Woman shares 'Anyone' video from 'The Real Life Anniversary Sessions'

Renowned NYC artist Joan As Police Woman presents a live performance video for her now-classic track “Anyone”, following another recently-shared video, "The Ride". Both of these personal and up-close offerings preview "The Real Life Anniversary Sessions", a string of videos commemorating the 20th anniversary of her much-loved debut album "Real Life", released via UK independent Reveal Records.  

Joan Wasser, known professionally as Joan As Police Woman since 2004, is a critically acclaimed musician and producer. As a singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist, she defies easy categorization, crafting her own sound that blends various genres. She has released ten albums of original material, two cover albums, and an anthology.

Recorded live on November 11, 2025 at The Owl Music Parlor, these endearing videos feature Wasser delivering a powerful, stripped-down performance on vocals and piano, accompanied by fellow NYC artists Will Graefe (guitar and vocals) and Jeremy Gustin(drums and vocals).

"I wanted to take “Anyone" out of its original 6/8 triplet-based soul ballad territory. Will Graefe, Jeremy Gustin and I have been creating a new sound together since we began touring in October 2024," says Joan Wasser, adding "This arrangement came together quickly when we shifted it into a more exploratory folk / jazz feeling reminiscent of Van Morrison".

Joan As Police Woman is a sought-after collaborator who’s collaborative spirit has guided her to record and/or perform live with hundreds of artists,including Afrobeatlegend Tony Allen (with whom she made the The Solution Is Restless album) Lou Reed, Anohni & The Johnsons, Meshell Ndegeocello, Rufus Wainwright, John Cale, David Byrne, Dave Okumu, Chris Dowd, Lau, Scissor Sisters, Sparklehorse, Beck, Laurie Anderson, Lloyd Cole, Afel Bocoum, Dave Gahan, Tanya Donelly, David Sylvian, Steve Jansen and Damon Albarn who duetted with Joan on her song Get My Bearings and invited her to  feature on the Gorillaz album Song Machine. She's currently enjoying life as a member of Iggy Pop's touring band (playing keys and singing).

Joan As Police Woman will soon be touring, bringing more "Real Life" to audiences internationally. While tickets for the Real Life 20th Anniversary Tour can be obtained at https://linktr.ee/japw or www.joanaspolicewoman.com/tour.

Roman Candle Tackle Misogyny And Survival On Latest Single "LADY LAZARUS"

Roman Candle release their latest single, "Lady Lazarus", today. A brutally honest confrontation with misogyny, survival, and the violence of shrinking for comfort. Named after Sylvia Plath's incendiary poem and fueled by the same defiant energy, the track lives in the tension between tenderness and rage, refusing to soften or apologize for taking up space. Listen to the blistering new offering HERE and watch the music video BELOW.

Piper Ferrari's vocals cut through with fearless precision. The band matches that intensity, building a sonic landscape that dares you to look away. Piper explains

"'Lady Lazarus' is me confronting misogyny head-on and refusing to shrink for anyone. The title comes from the Sylvia Plath poem, and like her, I'm pulling something powerful out of something painful. Lines like 'Tender when I wanna be / Callous when I have to be' came from recognizing how women are expected to bend, soften, or apologize just to exist - but also how we learn to harden ourselves for survival.

"When I sing 'Give me your dead stare, I eat men like air,' it's not about hating men - it's about reclaiming the space that was denied to me, the anger I was taught to bury, and the fear I was meant to carry. This song is the sound of unlearning all of that. It's rage, it's release, and it's me deciding I'm no longer shrinking out of anyone's comfort."

"Lady Lazarus" marks the sixth single since Roman Candle signed to Sumerian Records last year, continuing a run that has seen the Las Vegas quartet sharpen their voice with each release. "Fire In The Night Sky Forever.", "This Band Has Led Me To Places I Wouldn't Go With A Gun," "Nothing Is Original" and most recently, last week's "Bite Harder Than You Bleed". Last October's sold-out Las Vegas hometown show marked a defining moment, proof of swelling local and national attention.

To date, the band has amassed 2.8 million streams across all platforms and 400,000 YouTube views, steadily building a devoted following through relentless live performances and emotionally resonant songwriting.

ABOUT ROMAN CANDLE

Hailing from the desert underground of Las Vegas - Roman Candle - Piper Ferrari, Jonas Vece, Sergio Lopez, and Alex Dupuis - form one of the most emotionally raw and compelling new voices in modern screamo.

What began as a creative spark between Piper and Jonas has evolved into a fully realized four-piece, blending serrated aggression with vulnerable lyricism and a deep sense of place within the current hardcore landscape.

Onstage, the band operates with total commitment. Piper's commanding vocal presence, Jonas's tense and dynamic guitar work, Sergio's driving low end, and Alex's explosive percussion combine into a live experience that feels both communal and cathartic. Their hometown support has swelled alongside national attention, positioning them firmly at the forefront of a new generation of screamo artists.

High-Octane Rock Trio DANKO JONES Unveil Video For "I Love It Louder"; Announce European & UK Dates

Following the release of their critically-acclaimed, twelfth studio album Leo Rising, Canada's DANKO JONES continue their roaring celebrations with the launch of the new music video for "I Love It Louder" and unveil dates for the "Rising Tour 2026". Released through PERCEPTION - A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music and Sonic Unyon (Canada)!, Leo Rising may be their most electrifying and uplifting record yet, and is certain to energize venues across Europe and the UK this fall. 

DANKO JONES comments on the forthcoming tour: "We are bursting at the seams to let the world know we are going out on the road this fall to play our songs for you! Our new album, Leo Rising, is just too fun to play live for us to stop, so get your tickets now before they’re all gone (like our last fall tour). See you on the road!!!

And we’re taking out SPLIT DOGS to open up the tour so you know this tour is gonna rule!!!"

Produced to perfection by longtime collaborator Eric Ratz, the trio's new studio offering Leo Rising is a masterclass in sweat-soaked, no-nonsense rock. Packed with razor-sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and infectious hooks, the album reaffirms that DANKO JONES are keeping rock alive by doing it better than anyone else.

John Calabrese laid down bass tracks from Finland, Rich Knox flew to Toronto to record drums, and Danko worked with producer Eric Ratz in the same city to capture vocals and guitars. Despite recording separately once again, the band’s chemistry is unmistakable. The result is pure DANKO JONES: tight, loud, and built for the stage.

Watch "I Love It Louder".

About DANKO JONES
Every time someone announces the death of rock ‘n’ roll, Canada’s most incendiary power trio roll with the punches and keep rocking with maximum commitment to the cause. DANKO JONES are a three-piece rock ‘n’ roll band from Toronto. They never sleep. They sweat blood. And they are keeping rock alive by doing it better than anyone else.

On duty since 1996, these unstoppable road-hogs have devoted their lives to rousing the people with blistering, no-bullshit, all-action rock. They have rallied a global army of rock-hungry fans, and blown them away with a steady stream of explosive, anthem-packed albums and an absurd number of live shows. From early underground smashes like We Sweat Blood [2003] and Sleep Is The Enemy [2006], to the band’s recent, triumphant triumvirate of A Rock Supreme [2019], Power Trio [2021] and Electric Sounds [2023], DANKO JONES have been a relentless force for rock ‘n’ roll good, both in the studio and on the road. And they have absolutely no intention of stopping.

“You know what? I like the routine of recording, touring, writing, and repeat,” states singer/guitarist, Danko Jones himself. “I can do that till I’m dead! It may sound boring, but it’s so hard for a band to achieve. I don’t take this lightly. Also, it’s a page out of the MOTÖRHEAD handbook so it works! Since Electric Sounds we’ve been touring and touring. We managed to play in Mexico and Greece for the first time, and we even played Prince Edward Island, a province in Canada we’d never been to before. Other than that, it’s been a life of gigs and writing more songs to play more gigs!”

Proving that their time was well-spent, Danko, bassist John Calabrese and drummer Rich Knox have conjured yet another blazing banquet of nourishing rock goodness on their 12th studio record Leo Rising, that is out now on PERCEPTION.

TYLER BOOTH IS JOINED BY JAMEY JOHNSON ON NEW SONG “CLEAN DIRT” OUT FEB. 27

Kentucky singer-songwriter Tyler Booth unveils “Clean Dirt,” his new song featuring Jamey Johnson, on Friday, February 27, marking Booth’s debut song with his joint venture with Average Joes Entertainment and Johnson’s Big Gassed Records. Pre-save/pre-add Booth and Johnson’s “Clean Dirt” here.
 
Booth wrote “Clean Dirt” with Phil O’Donnell – whose songs have been recorded by artists including George Strait, Blake Shelton and Montgomery Gentry – and Brian Davis whose songs have been cut by Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Jason Aldean. O’Donnell also produced the track.
 
“Phil and Brian had that title forever and had started writing it,” Booth says. “They had the hook: ‘three boards, two nails and one man to clean dirt.’ We wrote it that day.”
 
“Clean Dirt” is about the unwavering strength of God’s love and forgiveness, no matter how many times we lose our way and find ourselves at a crossroads feeling unworthy of love. Just one of several deeply visceral and spiritual songs he has recently recorded for his upcoming full-length project. 
 
“Everybody has their trials and tribulations and has to go through life dealing with struggles,” Booth comments. “Everybody has it. It doesn’t matter how much or little money you have. There is always room for redemption.”

The Erv Woolsey Co.’s Allen Mitchell, Booth’s manager, played the song for Johnson, who loved it and offered to join Booth on the song.
 
“We live in a day and age where people are starting to be a little more vocal about their religious views, so I like the way he’s unashamed, and in fact, it might be unapologetic,” Johnson says. “He is just putting it out there: this is who I am. It’s also a part of his story and my story. I wish I had written the song with him.
 
“It’s about redemption and God’s grace,” Johnson says. “It points out that it isn’t what we do – you can’t be good enough. Romans tells us we have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, so it’s not something we do to earn salvation. It’s something Jesus Christ has already done and all we have to do is accept it. It’s a wonderful message that Tyler has woven into this song.”
 
“Clean Dirt” is the first release on Booth’s joint venture with Average Joes Entertainment and Johnson’s Big Gassed Records, with more music to come.

About Kashus Culpepper
Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper encompasses the sound of the South. A student and reverent purveyor of Southern music – country, soul, blues, folk and rock – Culpepper’s husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. Finding his voice in church as young as five years old, it wasn’t until 2020’s global pandemic that Culpepper went from listener to performer, picking up a guitar and learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on U.S. shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent sound that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence, Culpepper sold out headline club shows throughout the South before formally releasing a single song. With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records. Culpepper has joined Leon Bridges, Sierra Ferrell and Darius Rucker on tour – embarking this year on a headlining run as well as dates with Wyatt Flores and Eric Church. Named one of the 2026 Shazam Fast Forward Class, WXPN’s Artist to Watch for January 2026, 2026 Nashville Scene Artist to Watch, GRAMMY.com’s 25 Artists to Watch in 2025, Apple Music Zane Lowe’s 25 Artists for ’25, 2025 Variety Power of Young Hollywood Impact Report, Opry NextStage Class of 2025, Billboard’s February 2025 Country Rookie of the Month, 2025 Amazon Music Bonfire Artist to Watch, Apple Music’s February 2025 Country Riser of the Month, 2025 Pandora Country Artist to Watch and Martin Artist Showcase Class of 2025, Rolling Stone declares: “If what we’ve heard so far is any indication, expect 2026 to be a breakthrough year for this Alabama singer.” Culpepper’s debut album Act I is out now.

DEATH ANGEL ANNOUNCE SPRING 2026 US TOUR

Thrash metal legends DEATH ANGEL have announced the second leg of their Act III US Tour. The excursion, featuring guests VIO-LENCE and INCITE, will kick off May 1st in Phoenix, AZ and will wrap June 21st in Santa Cruz, CA. Presale tickets are available now, and public onsale starts Friday.

Commenting on the tour, vocalist Mark Osegueda says:

“Truth be told, when we realized that Act III was approaching the 35 year anniversary of it’s release date we toyed with the idea of doing a tour of playing it in it’s entirety hoping that it would appeal to some of our die hard fans and we decided to test the waters with a quick three week run in select markets in the States to see if the appreciation and fond memories of that era and time resonated with Death Angel fans today.

Well, that tour was so fulfilling for us in the band because nightly we could see and even more-so hear it at every show. That you guys appreciated it beyond our wildest expectations! So, due to very humbling and overwhelming, dare we say demand!, we are so proud to announce the second leg of the Death Angel ACT III U.S. Tour.

We will be playing ACT III in its entirety. Plus, more select songs from our catalog! We very much look forward to celebrating ACT III with all of you!

Amulets Announce "Rem(a)inders" EP + Share "Black Sheep"

Amulets, the project of Portland-based audio + visual artist Randall Taylor, has unveiled the new single "Black Sheep," the first taken from new EP Rem(a)inders, out April 10 via Pelagic Records.

Against a hazy analogue backdrop, ambient guitars reverberate and echo through the sonic landscape, creating a sensation of weightlessness that is both calming and unsettling. Melancholic and soaring, "Black Sheep" evokes a presence of isolation and longing in the emptiness. Through patient unfolding, this minimalist, poignant atmosphere raises in intensity, deliberate in its unhurried movement, leaving room for each sound to breathe, evolve, and fade into the next.

Amulets' new album Rema(i)nders marks the debut for Pelagic Records, a fitting home for a record that thrives in the liminal space between heaviness and fragility. Deeply immersive, the album navigates the dreamy boundaries between the tangible and the ethereal, where sound behaves as memory itself: Unstable, layered, and quietly transformative. 

Randall Taylor's work uses analog tape and its imperfections to explore themes like degradation and nostalgia and their relationship to technology and to the self. By constructing and modifying tape loops and repurposing antiquated cassette players, Taylor creates dense, never-ending, looping soundscapes for both his live performances and sculptural sound art installations.

Known for his ability to weave soundscapes that evoke powerful emotions with minimalistic instrumentation, Taylor's newest project is a masterful exploration of mood, atmosphere, and texture.

Taylor comments, "Rema(i)nders started as a fragmented collection of songs, memories, ideas, and feelings that I wanted to mash and warp together beyond recognition. What I ended up creating was a beautiful mosaic of texture and light in this darkening world. To remain is to remind. To remind is to remain."

DEAD REGISTER Announces Fiber (10th Anniversary Deluxe Remaster)

Atlanta-based doomgaze trio DEAD REGISTER announces the release of Fiber (10th Anniversary Deluxe Remaster), arriving May 22, 2026 via AVR. Marking ten years since the band’s first full-length album reshaped their trajectory, the anniversary edition restores the original recordings with renewed depth and clarity while preserving the immediacy and emotional weight that made the record endure far beyond its initial release.

Alongside the announcement, DEAD REGISTER unveils the remastered version of the album’s defining centerpiece, "Fiber," available now on all streaming platforms.

Originally recorded in 2016 with minimal overdubs and performed largely live in the studio, Fiber (10th Anniversary Deluxe Remaster) captures DEAD REGISTER at a formative moment when instinct guided every decision. Built entirely from bass instruments, synthesizers, live drums, and voice, the album established the band’s unmistakable low-frequency identity and laid the foundation for a decade of touring and subsequent releases.

"Fiber" stands as one of the most essential compositions in the DEAD REGISTER catalog. Driven by hypnotic repetition and slow-burning tension, the track moves with ritualistic momentum, balancing heaviness with dark melodic restraint. Over the years, it has become a staple of the band’s live performances, frequently closing sets as audiences demand its immersive and cathartic release.

The remastered edition enhances the sonic density of the original recordings without sacrificing their raw human energy. Engineer and mastering specialist Dan Dixon revisited the material to reveal new dimensionality within the performances, allowing the interplay between rhythm, atmosphere, and vocal presence to resonate with greater physical impact.

Fiber (Remastered 10th Anniversary Ed) documents a band discovering its voice in real time. Sequenced as a continuous emotional arc, the album moves through isolation, intimacy, existential reflection, and controlled destruction before returning to its origin point through a newly included live bonus track, "Reverse (Live Bonus Track)," captured during the band’s original 2016 album release performance.

Since its initial release, DEAD REGISTER has continued to evolve through relentless touring and critically acclaimed releases, yet Fiber remains a cornerstone of the band’s identity. The anniversary edition serves both longtime listeners and new audiences, presenting the album as it was meant to be experienced: immersive, physical, and deeply human.

About DEAD REGISTER:

DEAD REGISTER formed in Atlanta, Georgia in 2013 with a singular intention to explore emotional and sonic weight through sound existing almost entirely in the lowest possible register. Built around bass instruments, synthesizers, piano, live drums, and a commanding baritone vocal presence, the band constructs immersive environments that favor atmosphere, tension, and physical impact over convention. The absence of guitar became foundational early on, allowing DEAD REGISTER to carve out a distinct identity rooted in density, space, and hypnotic repetition.

Founded by M. Chvasta and Avril Che, the project quickly evolved from experimentation into a fully realized live entity, later solidified through years of touring across the United States and Canada. The band’s performances emphasize raw execution with no backing tracks or artificial reinforcement, translating studio material into an immediate and visceral live experience shaped by volume, movement, and human interaction. Visual presentation remains inseparable from the music, with Che directing and producing the band’s video work and visual media entirely in-house.

Across multiple releases including Fiber, Captive, Don’t Fail Me, and Alive, DEAD REGISTER has developed a body of work defined by bleak romanticism, dark humor, noir atmosphere, and moments of unexpected vulnerability. Their sound draws from post-metal, gothic rock, industrial textures, and experimental songwriting while remaining resistant to easy classification. Each release expands the emotional vocabulary established at the band’s inception while maintaining an unwavering commitment to authenticity and physical sonic presence.

DEAD REGISTER operates as an ongoing exploration of connection, collapse, desire, and survival.

London-based Liverpool troubadour ANDREW DEEVEY shares 'Money Can't Buy Me Love' single

English troubadour Andrew Deevey presents his new single 'Money Can’t Buy Me Love', a lean, hook-laden cut that taps straight into the anxiety of belt-tightening Britain. A timely and true reflection of our credit-crunch era, the track pairs melodic immediacy with a clear-eyed take on life where paychecks feel fleeting and everyday expenses steadily chip away at what’s left.

This is Deevey's latest offering in what can only be described as a storied musical career. After being a member of The Decemberists (UK), Hellfire Sermons, The Caretaker Race and The Bitter Springs, Deevey has stepped into a bold solo chapter, stripping his sound back to its essentials while sharpening his songwriting focus.

Following up his impressive 'Northern Soul' album, Deevey's new single is about valuing love and personal connections over money or material goods. Built around driving vocals, ringing guitar, harmonica and drum machine, the track delivers melodic indie-pop with soulful undertones and a sharp eye on modern financial pressures.

"'Money Can’t Buy Me Love' reflects on austerity-era realities — the squeeze of the credit crunch, rising costs, having no money and the sense that even when you do earn money, it quickly disappears," says Andrew Deevey.   “It feels like someone is always making money out of you — taxes, parking, fines, bills — it never stops. But the things that really matter can’t be bought.”

With its raw, minimal setup and anthemic hook, 'Money Can’t Buy Me Love' captures Andrew Deevey at his most direct and self-assured — an artist distilling decades of experience into a lean, resonant statement. showcases Deevey’s evolution into a self-contained, uncompromising solo artist whose strength lies in melody, authenticity and direct connection.

Recorded at One Cat Studios, Antenna Studios in South London, this single was mixed, produced and mastered by Jon Clayton, reknowned for his work with The Monochrome Set, Band of Holy Joy, Vic Godard and The Subway Sect, The Near Jazz Experience and Carter USM frontman's project Jim Bob.

Originally from Liverpool, Deevey cut his teeth in the city’s rich music scene. Early projects gained London shows and coverage in the music press, Single of the Week recognition in NME. After relocating to London in search of new opportunities, he narrowly missed out on joining The La's — arriving just minutes too late to secure the role.

He soon joined The Caretaker Race, touring the UK and Europe extensively, including dates with The Darling Buds and The House of Love. During the 'Hangover Square' sessions, producer Stephen Street famously described Deevey as “the next Johnny Marr,” while Melody Maker praised his playing as “a guitar incendiary of startling hugeness.”

He later played guitar for The Bitter Springs, contributing to 'Everyone’s Cup of Tea' and 'The Odd Shower', touring as the backup band for Vic Godard and The Subway Sect, and recording a session for The Marc Riley Show.

Deevey recorded the album 'Northern Soul' within a year of going it solo, with the lead track 'I Got The Feeling' earning international airplay and receiving Album of the Weekaccolades on numerous UK stations. With songwriting shaped by the melodic guitar traditions of The Beatles and the direct acoustic energy of Jake Bugg and Gerry Cinnamon, Deevey now performs in a stripped-down format, embracing independence and immediacy on stage.

Andrew Deevey shares, “I wanted the songs to work acoustically or with a full band. I now play live with guitar, harmonica and drum machine — no waiting around.  I’ve been playing these songs and getting good feedback from people. At one festival, someone told me, "You just blow them away"... That’s the reaction I’m after.”

As of March 2, 'Money Can't Buy Me Love' will be released via Waterline Records across digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, where it is now available for pre-order.

Gunshine Releases Second Single "Valentine" Ahead of Upcoming Album Grand Rising

Florida rock band Gunshine released their second single, “Valentine,” offering fans a taste of their forthcoming full-length album, Grand Rising, due out digitally on July 24 through vnclm_ /  Create Music Group.

 

The album is now available on limited edition vinyl and CD here:

https://gunshine.diggers.store/

 

 The band unveiled the official music video February 14, Valentine's Day

Watch it Below:

While the digital release of Grand Rising arrives later this summer, fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the record. Physical copies of the album, including CD and double vinyl editions, alongside exclusive Gunshine merchandise, are available for purchase online at https://gunshine.diggers.store/ The CD and double vinyl will also be sold through the band at upcoming live shows.

 

"It's the oldest song in my collection and I'm glad it made the cut.  The lyrics were written when I was 15 years old," says Jordan Benson. "Austin and I sat down, came up with an arrangement and there it was.  The song was written about the kind of relationship I wanted to have, perfectly in love.  Regardless of life problems, the love between a couple should always be the easiest."

"Jordan, along with being a great singer, is a great piano player as well.  We wanted to showcase that a bit more on this record.  When he and I were going through song ideas for the record, he mentioned he had an old idea and played me a rough version of the song with piano and one vocal track.  I thought it was really interesting, and had a cool chord progression.  I then took it home and put my spin on some melodies, and had fun with the production. I had a vision to pull it into a dramatic, epic 80's kind of vibe adding a Phil Collins inspired drum loop, Boston inspired lead guitar with the use of the Rockman, and many extra vocal layers," adds Austin Ingerman.

"We tracked the whole record, (except "Goth Girl" and "Single Looks Good On You"), in Las Vegas with producer/mixer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake, Lynchmob).  I've been working with Chris for about 9 years now.  He's incredibly talented, has a great ear, and adds a heavy hitting production value that makes the songs sonically translate very well."  

"'Valentine' was one of the last songs we tracked for the record.  When Chris heard the song he really liked it, and further dug into the production.  He added a really cool string arrangement, and just made everything sound massive.  He also tracked the bass and drums on this song, and mixed and mastered it as well."  

"Valentine" is just another example of the depth and diversity of Gunshine. 

Hailing from Pensacola, Florida, Gunshine have built a reputation on catchy vocal melodies, clever lyrics, blistering guitar riffs and solos, and a lethal rhythm section. Their sound blends edgy, raw Rock ’n’ Roll attitude with a melodic, Pop-forward sensibility, creating music that hits hard while remaining instantly memorable. Combined with their high-energy, commanding live performances, Gunshine continue to enthrall listeners and prove themselves a force to be reckoned with.

 

With Grand Rising, Gunshine raise the bar yet again in an exciting evolution of the band. The album takes listeners on a dynamic journey filled with genre-bending twists and turns, shifting moods, and unexpected vibes—all while staying true to the core elements that set Gunshine apart. Featuring 13 tracks, each single-worthy in its own right, Grand Rising is poised to become a modern-day rock classic.

Deathcore Ensemble SARCOMA Present Video For "Sucio Carbón"

The ferocious thrash infused "Sucio Carbón", that translates to "Filthy Coal", is the newest offering from Ecuador's SARCOMA. Descending into a plethora of extreme styles, the initial intensity of the track soon leads into the realms of death and grind before reaching an obliterating end. SARCOMA's forthcoming full-length album is set to arrive later in 2026. 

"Sucio Carbón" addresses the destructive and damaging impact of consumerism in Latin America. The lyrics of the song are written "about how millions of lives are turned hollow by the intoxicating effect of materialism and greed, and how they cast a veil of fog on our reason, in favor of collecting junk and soon to be junk. There’s metaphorical instances of drowning in a sandglass and being willfully thrown into slave labor in an office, painting a tumultuous picture of consumerism delirium."

Amidst the thundering heaviness, brutal gutturals and engrossing arrangements, SARCOMA include a number of audio samples across their tracks. "Sucio Carbón" is no different, featuring a clip taken from the “Planet of the Apes” film, 1968.

"Sucio Carbón" was produced by Juan Pablo Flores and recorded at Valley of the Death recording studio. The single was mixed and mastered by Juan Pablo Rivas. 

About SARCOMA:
SARCOMA is the first Spanish-language deathcore band in the world. Formed in Quito, Ecuador, in 2006, the quartet launched their debut EP Silenciosa Tortura independently that same year. 2016 brought a hiatus until seven years later, in 2023, original members Santiago Romero and Juan Pablo Flores returned to write new music, now joined by Andrés Jaramo (drums) and Andrés Éguez (bass). 

During SARCOMA's first incarnation, following the first EP, the band released the debut, self-titled full-length album in 2008 with the Esclavitud del Siglo XXI EP arriving in 2013. The band embarked on a heavy national and international touring schedule in neighboring countries. 

SARCOMA's unmistakable style, technical precision, and impressive live performances led them to be considered, by the media and the public alike, as the undisputed "fathers of deathcore" in South America. In early-mid noughties, the band's unique mix of hardcore and death metal elements was something unheard of in the country at the time.

The band's sound draws influence from the likes of DECAPITATED, DYING FETUS, KNOCKED LOOSE, SEPULTURA, DESPISED ICON, GOJIRA, with the addition of progressive elements and a thematic focus on their life experiences and environment of Latin America.

2023 saw the band return with renewed vigor and intent unleashing the EP Mesak, the live releases Al Rojo Vivo and En Vivo En Quito in 2024, and "Divino Poder" single in 2025, all via Valley of the Death. SARCOMA wasted no time returning to the live stage in 2023 venturing on the Mesak Ecuador National Tour, along with performances at Mechanimal Fest and Quitofest. 

Via Doloris Release Luminous New Single “Un Franc Soleil”

Via Doloris is rooted in an inward journey rather than orthodoxy. Conceived in solitude and shaped by discipline, composer and multi-instrumentalist Gildas Le Pape (ex-Satyricon) traces a melodic, atmospheric and introspective path through black metal’s foundations on upcoming debut album Guerre et Paix. He’s joined by Frost, the legendary drummer of Satyricon and 1349, who provides a sense of persistence, grounded and unyielding.  

Today, Via Doloris are releasing the second advanced single from Guerre et Paix. Standing among the album’s most luminous moments, “Un Franc Soleil” captures a fleeting sensation of release after prolonged inner unrest. An atmospheric depiction of an illusion glimpsed from afar, the song evokes the distant promise of a life freed from struggle, a vision radiant yet never fully attained.

Listen to “Un Franc Soleil” below.

Guerre et Paix comes out March 20 on Season of Mist.

Pre-order & Pre-save

“Un Franc Soleil” captures Via Doloris at their most expansive and textural. The song unfolds in measured restraint; layered guitars trace gentle melodic figures across a patient rhythmic foundation.  Frost’s nuanced drumming anchors the gradual ascent of each chord progression, allowing melody to emerge from distortion and clarity from dissonance. Written in French, the lyrics carry vulnerability and resolve in equal measure, portraying serenity not as certainty, but as something only ever approached.

Within the broader architecture of Guerre et Paix, “Un Franc Soleil” functions as a threshold: a contemplative pause before the album returns to denser and more conflicted terrain.

Based in Oslo, Gildas Le Pape first gained attention in 2007 when he joined the legendary Satyricon as a guitarist. Over the next six years, he toured the world and contributed to the band’s recorded legacy, before stepping away to explore a broad range of musical directions. In time, this path led him back to extreme music, this time with a renewed creative vision and sharpened intent. In 2023, he invited his long-time collaborator, Frost — arguably one of the most accomplished drummers in the genre — to join him in bringing the debut release to life.

Line-up:

Gildas le Pape — Lead Vocals, Choirs, Guitars, Bass

Frost — Session Drums

Drums and vocals recorded at Red Room Studios, Norway.
Drums and vocals engineered by Mattis Elvestuen, guitars engineered by Gildas Le Pape & Mattis Elvestuen.

PHILADELPHIA’S SLIK HELVETIKA IS BACK WITH THE NEW FULL RELEASE , FEATURING THE BRAND-NEW TRACK, “WALK THROUGH FIRE"

One of the heaviest bands to emerge from the Philadelphia rock scene is Slik Helvetika. From the glory days of the Philadelphia and New Jersey rock scene of the 80s that spawned Cinderella, Britny Fox, Pretty Poison, John Eddie, and an entire laundry list of artists who went forward to be stars, there was a band called Destroyer. Led by Michael Myers, the band had unknowingly sidestepped all the woes and pressures of being “that commodity” and unwanted influences. Taking some time to let the songs and playing develop to be the best it could resulted in that band today called Slik Helvetika. Lots of driving energy, melody, memorable chorus hooks, great playing and strong lyrics. 
 
The line up has always featured Michael Myers on lead guitar and vocals – who has had the privilege of playing alongside a variety of talented musicians, such as Kjell Benner [formerly of Quiet Riot] and Vern Parsons [Greg Howe]. The newest full release, Walk Through Fire, which drops through Deko Entertainment on February 20th, kicks off with the first single that was released in December Solar Head. Which, begins with an unsettling actual recording of solar wind, then erupts into full ass kicking mode.

Walk Through Fire consists of 13 blistering tracks including a cover of the Sweet’s “Fox on the Fun” and the title track, which the group's long-time singer/guitarist/songwriter Myers was happy to elaborate on. 
 
"Do you ever feel like you are walking through fire just contending with the daily insanity and events of this world? Question everything! Humans have been giving up their power and potential by letting those who think they are in power create a mental box of falsities and limitations.  We all should be different people today than yesterday if we continue to learn as we go. Right?  Many stopped asking questions, acquiesced and bowed down to so-called 'authority figures' and put the blinders on. Those same authority figures run highly advanced psychological operations to divide us, keep us fighting with each other while they rob us mentally and literally. Those who noticed and objected to this system since birth are not alone.”

August Burns Red Re-Sign With Fearless Records + Share Video for New Single Behemoth"

August Burns Red — Jake Luhrs (vocals); JB Brubaker (guitar); Brent Rambler (guitar); Dustin Davidson (bass); and Matt Grenier (drums) — need no introduction. For over two decades, the Lancaster, Pennsylvania-based act has been crafting its own unique brand of metalcore that has established ABR as one of the foremost acts in the genre. Their career milestones speak for themselves: Multiple placements in the top 10 on the Billboard Top 200; tours with everyone from Bullet For My Valentine to A Day To Remember; an accumulation of 600 million streams. However the band — nominated for Best Metal Performance Grammys in 2016 for the song "Identity" and again for "Invisible Enemy" in 2018 — have never stopped pushing the limits of their sound. Which brings us to today — the release of the new single "Behemoth," along with their triumphant return to Fearless Records.

Watch the "Behemoth" video below. 

"Behemoth" is, well, exactly what its title suggests. It's massive in every way — from the Herculean breakdowns to the battering ram percussion to the battle cry choruses that demand singing along! But ABR also prove that being heavy AF doesn't always mean fast and loud. They drop a quiet moment amidst the maelstrom and as they close out the song, and it's those moments that illustrate just how ferocious they are.

There's a reason ABR are one of the most enduring and beloved bands in the metalcore scene. They're as consistent as ever, yet always evolving.
 

"'Behemoth' is a song that probably went through more revisions and changes than any song we've ever written," says Brubaker. "While frustrating at times, the conversations and re-writes were worth the effort as we collectively feel very proud of how this song turned out. I believe it's one of the heaviest and most raw songs we've ever delivered."

"Lyrically, 'Behemoth' speaks about the realization of past pains living through present actions in life," states Luhrs. "With the determination to face this reality, a process of healing and breaking old ways leads to a rebirth. It's about cutting the ties to your past, giving it no space to live in the present, and inevitably, changing the course of your life."

ABR will hit the road on a co-headline run with The Amity Affliction this Spring. All dates for the Spring Horizons tour are below.

NONPOINT Announce 'The Outta Control Tour' with Special Guests SOiL and Sumo Cyco ​

NONPOINT have announced The Outta Control Tour, a high-energy U.S. run featuring special guests SOiL and Sumo Cyco. NONPOINT will be performing new material from their forthcoming album, giving fans an early taste of what’s next from the band while continuing to deliver the sound that has defined their career.

 

This tour marks SOiL’s first U.S. tour in two years, making it a highly anticipated return for the Chicago-based metal staples. SOiL is slated to have new material coming out later this year.

 

In addition, the run reunites Nonpoint with Sumo Cyco following their recent collaboration with frontman Elias Soriano.

 

Elias Soriano shares, “We’re gonna be playing some new tracks on this tour that are some of my favorites on the new record. One being our lead track 'IS IT'. It’s about that internal conflict where you question getting too involved. Did I push too hard? Did I ask too much? It’s that feeling of wondering if doing what you thought was right actually meant being okay with hurting the people around you. We’re also performing our collab with Skye from Sumo Cyco, 'RED YETI'. That one is gonna blow people away. Add the return of Soil to the stage after some time off in the US, new production and you got a night people are going to talk about.”

 

"During all the years SOiL and Nonpoint have been friends, we’ve never done an actual tour in the states together. I’m excited to see our two bands finally being brought together here. This will be a great tour for the fans," adds Tim King.

 

Tickets and VIP packages will be available at

Hardline Announce New Album "Shout" + Share "Rise Up" Video

It's impossible to tell the full story of Hardline's new studio album Shout without mentioning their 1992 classic Double Eclipse. 

After all, that was the moment when this exceptional hard rock act's unique artistic DNA was created — its first draft almost perfect. Since then, Hardline have released six studio albums — each considered to be a highlight of the genre. 

Shout, arriving April 17, sees the band — helmed by American vocalist Johnny Gioeli (Axel Rudi Pell, Crush 40) and his Italian teammates, keyboardist Alessandro Del Vecchio (Vanden Plas, Jorn); guitarist Luca Princiotta; bassist Anna Portalupi; and drummer Marco Di Salvia — take up where their 1992 masterpiece left off. 

"Our current album features our typical choruses and the classic songwriting style of Double Eclipse supported by a contemporary production and state-of-the-art sound. The album gives you that feeling you get when you roll down your car window and turn up the radio on full blast," says Gioeli, describing the ten new songs.

He adds, "This band doesn't want to reinvent its music. Hardline is Hardline, and our fans know what to expect from us!"

First single "Rise Up" is the perfect foretaste of the album which spews the historical, current, and future melodic consistency of Hardline.

Watch the "Rise Up" video below:

Shout will be released on April 17 through Steamhammer worldwide in the following configurations:

*CD DigiPak
*LP, 140 g, black vinyl, padded inner sleeve, coloured insert
*Exclusive CD/LP Bundles with a shirt only at the Steamhammer shop

BADSQUATCH Releases New Single "Such A Burden"

BADSQUATCH is an American singer/songwriter/producer based in the Midwest. A big man with a big voice, BADSQUATCH is an artist with one overwhelming presence.  Adopting such a moniker would suggest nothing less, though along with the rough and gruff appearance, the music that comes out of this massive human ranges from soft and pensive acoustic tunes to bold and abrasive alt rock bangers. The material he creates generally addresses a large range of gritty subjects that are inspired by his own journey of self-discovery and what it truly means to be human.

  

One may recognize BADSQUATCH from his work as the frontsquatch of midwestern dystopian party rock trio The Party After, who recently released their powerhouse album Dopamine Machine in July 2025.  During the recording process for the album, BADSQUATCH also wrote and recorded a large amount of material that didn’t fit the picture for the band, so he is deciding to reach into his personal archives and begin releasing music as a solo artist.  

 

His first single, out February 20th, is a dark and brooding song broaching the subject of self-loathing with inspirations from alternative and industrial artists alike. This release, titled “Such a Burden”, is the first from a collection of songs that BADSQUATCH is considering a concept album/mental health piece rooted in subjects of shadow work and addressing the darker parts of oneself, all with a goal of awareness, healing, and growing into our potentials in this unique human experience. 

 

"To dig deep into the music to come, much like the healing process, we must first start with addressing the darkness and the shadows that are difficult to own," says Badsquatch.

 

Badsquatch has officially signed with new management under Pamela Parks at Headity.com. Stay tuned — strategic moves, fresh momentum, and powerful next steps are in motion.  

 

 STREAM "Such A Burden" HERE

BADSQUATCH LIVE SHOWS:

Fri. February 20  @ Brokedown Palace, Omaha, NE

Sun. February 22 @ Chelsea's, Eureka Springs, AR

Tue. February 24 @ Knight Moves, Hazel Green, AL
