About AGNOSTIC FRONT:
Founded in 1982, AGNOSTIC FRONT stand among the most esteemed pioneers of the hardcore genre. No band comes close in sonic and socio authenticity and sincerity, where the struggles of survival on the streets have quite literally given life to a sound that remains as impactful today as it was over four decades ago. AGNOSTIC FRONT‘s battering, socially critical sounds serve as the foundation of true New York hardcore and helped initiate the emergence of crossover thrash. Following a slew of pummeling offerings, the band, led by the inimitable roar of Roger Miret and Vinnie Stigma's legendary charismatic guitar playing, continue to showcase unapologetically honest lyrics and signature aggression in Echoes in Eternity.

Insomnium Descend Into Darkness With "Gleam in the Black" Video

Finland's undisputed masters of melancholy INSOMNIUM are unveiling their latest single and video "Gleam in the Black," offering an even deeper descent into darkness and the shadowy realms beyond. Blending haunting melodies with crushing heaviness, the track captures the essence of the band's signature sound while exploring the emotional depths that define their upcoming album.

Vocalist/bassist Niilo Sevänen comments, "Being one of the faster songs on the new album, this is a track that should get the crowd moving when played live. It definitely carries a classic INSOMNIUM spirit. The lyrics tell a dark and mysterious love story, capturing the mood and atmosphere of the entire album. We are doomed to wander the nightly woods, searching for something lost long ago, something we can reach only in our dreams. That single gleam of light amidst the blackness."

Atmospheric, powerful, and deeply evocative, "Gleam in the Black" serves as another glimpse into the album's haunting world, where beauty and despair walk hand-in-hand.

Immerse yourself in the darkness and experience the song's captivating visual counterpart, directed and produced by Patric Ullaeus of rEvolver Film Company AB, whose cinematic vision perfectly captures the track's bleak yet mesmerizing atmosphere below.

Heavy Music Disruptor Showing Teeth Shares "Bad Exchanges" — LISTEN // EP Out In September // Signs With Republic/Spinefarm

After quietly emerging as one of extreme music's most talked-about artists this year, acclaimed Nashville-based sonic alchemist SHOWING TEETH unleashes a venomous new single in the form of "Bad Exchanges." 

Listen here.

Additionally, she has signed a freshly minted partnership with Republic Records and Spinefarm — as officially announced.
 
Next up, SHOWING TEETH will unveil her much-anticipated debut EP, A Fate Worse Than Loneliness, dropping on September 4 via Republic Records + Spinefarm. Pre-order/Pre-save here. 
 
On "Bad Exchanges," a woozy beat anxiously tosses and turns beneath her seething verses. Distortion groans, electronics squeal, and a chugging detuned groove explodes in tandem with a high-pitched scream. Amidst the chaos, raw emotion spills out like blood from an open wound as she wonders: "Why can't I just be happy? This feeling always ends." It concludes with an unbridled burst of intense catharsis awash in grainy feedback. 
 
Stay tuned for the premiere of an equally powerful music video to accompany the track.

The song lands in the wake of "Rip," which has already amassed over 1 million streams and counting. Revolver touted it among the 6 Best New Songs Right Now," raving: "Beyond that textual heaviness, Showing Teeth goes next level berserk with her feral shrieks."
 
This fall, she will hit the road as support to President on the band's sold-out North American Campaign 2026 for six weeks across North America. This run commences on September 4 in Nashville, TN at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville, visits major markets coast-to-coast, and closes out on October 14 in Dallas, TX at House of Blues Dallas.

METALITE Release Music Video For New Album Single "Echoes Of You"

Swedish melodic metal force METALITE continues the journey towards their highly anticipated new studio album Discovery with the release of a music video for their brand new single "Echoes Of You".

Following the success of the previously released singles "Our Time Has Come", "Starchild" and "In Case Of Emergency", the band's fourth album single reveals an even more emotional side of Discovery while staying true to METALITE's unmistakable fusion of powerful melodic metal and futuristic soundscapes. Blending soaring melodies and cinematic atmosphere, "Echoes Of You" showcases another captivating facet of the upcoming album. Carried by Erica Ohlsson's stunning vocal performance and packed with emotional intensity, the song leaves a lasting impression long after its final note. 

Guitarist, producer, songwriter and founder Edwin Premberg comments:
"Echoes Of You is one of our most emotional tracks on Discovery. It's about the memories and feelings that never truly fade, the echoes of someone who's still with you, even when they're gone. With a powerful blend of atmosphere, melody, and intensity, it's a song that hits deep and stays with you long after it ends."

Stream "Echoes Of You": https://metalite.rpm.link/echoesPR 

Watch the new video clip below:

Mixed and mastered by acclaimed Danish producer Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Evergrey, Amaranthe), Discovery pushes METALITE’s futuristic vision further than ever before. Across twelve dynamic tracks, the album explores themes of human evolution, technology, survival, liberation and hope in a universe shaped by digital realities and cosmic exploration in the year of 2058, three years after humanity left a collapsing Earth in search of a new beginning.

Building upon the sonic worlds established on Heroes in Time (2017), Biomechanicals (2019), A Virtual World (2021) and Expedition One (2024), the band once again proves why they are regarded as pioneers of modern sci-fi-inspired melodic metal!

NYC art-rock provocateurs ECCE SHNAK debut gloriously unhinged 'Eddie, Legalistic Homeslice'

NYC art-rockers Ecce Shnak present 'Eddie, Legalistic Homeslice', the second single from their full-length album “Dandy Variances", anticipated later this year via Records, Man Records. Recorded and produced by Jeff Lucci, this single was mixed by Grammy award-winning producer Mario McNulty (David Bowie, Prince, Nine Inch Nails, Julian Lennon),

Formed in the mid-1990s and forged in NYC's experimental scene, Ecce Shnak (pronounced Eh-kay sh-knock) is made up of David Roush (composer, bassist and baritone vocalist), Bella Komodromos (vocals), Chris Krasnow (guitar), Gannon Ferrell (guitar), and Henry Buchanan-Vaughn (drums). 

An ode to camaraderie, 'Eddie' reaches its lyrical denouement with what may be the “oldest prayer of friendship", but sounds like a throwaway Rivers Cuomo line: “I pray you don’t be a rat in a rat-suit! Pray you don’t be a rat in a rat-costume!”

"Like 'Larry, Sleepover Friend' from our 2019 'Joke Oso' EP, our new song is a garage-rock homage to a beloved friend of mine. Like 'Larry', 'Eddie' explores big themes in great friendships: their gnarly ambivalences, their absurd misunderstandings, their inside-jokes, and their contradictory mix of irreverence with utmost care," says David Roush.

"We are also overjoyed to feature two great friends as the co-stars of the music video, the preposterously funny and talented comedic duo Syd and Olivia! I was lucky to have met these two pugnaciously podcasting, thoughtfully Thespian, joke-slinging YouTube yokels on a fantastic journey to the Greek island of Crete two years ago, and the rest was thirst’ory."

Bella Komodromos adds, "They absolutely kicked butt at their roles in this Wes-Anderson-hued buddy-comedy music video, directed and produced by DJay Brawner. It is our ardent hope that all fans of Ecce Shnak and Syd and Olivia alike can shart out with their hearts out to this badass collaboration!"

Apart from directing and editing the new video with Brooks Jones, Beth Narducci and David Roush, Brawner also worked on the video for the album's lead track 'Vincent', an homage to superb music videos of yesteryear - for Meshuggah’s “Bleed” and 311's “Down”. Here, operatic trills collide with frantic rock energy in a high-decibel takedown ofa formulaic antagonist through the power of one's own voice.

Ecce Shnak's music a volatile yet meticulously crafted ecosystem, where technical precision meets inspired mayhem. Their 2025 'Shadows Grow Fangs' EP was recorded and produced by Jeff Lucci, mixed by Nicholas Vernhes (Animal Collective, Deerhunter, Wild Nothing, War on Drugs) and mastered by Grammy award-winning engineer Joe LaPorta (David Bowie, The Weeknd, Foo Fighters, Vampire Weekend).

Ecce Shnak recently wrapped up their UK tour with EMF after featuring on EMF's stellar single 'LGBTQ+ Lover' and joint East coast / Midwest tour. That video was filmed during their 2025 West coast tour, along with Spacehog.

'Eddie, Legalistic Homeslice'is out now,available from digital music platforms, includingSpotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp.

Not Enough Space Announce "Weaponize Your Rage" Anniversary Show September 4 in Orlando, FL

Orlando's very own, Not Enough Space, is celebrating the anniversary of their debut album "Weaponize Your Rage", with a hometown show on Friday, September 4th at the Conduit, presented by 152 Productions. Tickets go on sale today HERE.

Released in September of 2025 via Thriller Records, "Weaponize Your Rage", marked Not Enough Space's debut full-length, a record that established the band as one of Florida's most intense rising acts. Describing the record as a rejection of the notion that anger is a weakness, the band choose to frame it as a vehicle for personal growth, a way to face inner conflict and shed what no longer serves you.

Joining Not Enough Space for this milestone celebration are Lilith's Demise, No One Road, and Almost Mine, rounding out an all-Florida lineup to bring the state's hardcore scene onto one stage.

On celebrating one year of "Weaponize Your Rage", vocalist Liv Mitchell shares:

"Getting to celebrate this album a year later, in our hometown, with bands that we genuinely love is special in so many ways. This record came from a very real place for all of us, and seeing people connect with it in the way they have means everything. This show is us saying thank you to anyone who loves "Weaponize Your Rage" as much as we do.”

For fans looking to make the night even more memorable, Not Enough Space will be offering a limited VIP package alongside standard tickets. The package features a limited-edition "Weaponize Your Rage" anniversary show poster alongside a meet and greet with the band complete with a professional photo and a signing session. VIP ticket holders will also get early access to merch, a drawstring bag, their choice of the "Weaponize Your Rage" LP vinyl or CD, a wristband, and a VIP laminate to commemorate the night.

"Weaponize Your Rage" shows Not Enough Space confidently embracing their own sound while being at their most intense and sincere. The album shifts from heavy riffs to surprising melodic moments, reflecting the highs and lows of confronting your own emotions. Released on on September 12th via Thriller Records, it's a bold debut that showcases the band as a force to be reckoned with.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Not Enough Space news coming very soon.

TEMIC Announce Mighty and Magical Second Album 'Ceiba'

From the moment they joined forces, TEMIC appeared as a dream come true for prog fans everywhere. The international supergroup features current and former members of Devin Townsend, Mike Portnoy’s Shattered Fortress, Neal Morse Band, Haken, Shining, Maraton and Big City. The group’s chart-topping debut lived up to the hype, but on their upcoming new album, Ceiba, they’ve grown by leaps and bounds.

Today, TEMIC are officially announcing the mighty and magical Ceiba with a soul-stirring video for the album’s lead single. While rattled by the encroaching shadow of death, “Ceased To Be” positively ascends by crossing the threshold between progressive metal, pop and hard rock.  

“Ceiba is a concept album about loss in all its various forms”, TEMIC says. “While more progressive than our first album, the songs are driven by honesty and emotions. ‘Ceased To Be’ is told from the perspective of someone who’s dying, while surrounded by their loved ones. Death is not feared nor resisted. Rather, it is observed as a sacred rite of passage”.

Watch the music video for “Ceased To Be” below:

Ceiba comes out October 2, 2026 on Season of Mist

Pre-order

https://orcd.co/temicceiba

The video for “Ceased To Be” was directed by Cesar Mendiburu. It was filmed in the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, beneath a Ceiba tree and inside a cenote, where Ah Puch, the Mayan god of death, welcomes a woman to the afterlife.

“Since the moment I received the invitation to be a part of ‘Cease To Be’, I felt an immediate calling to say yes”, actress Anna Kirse says. “Representing all the joy and pain of life, its transformation after death, and the relief of letting go in absolute surrender resonated with me immediately. It was a beautiful artistic challenge”.

“Filming the underwater scenes was a profound experience for me as well. It required me to face my own fear of disappearing beneath the water. Surrendering to the unknown and trusting that I was safe became a significant moment of growth for me. Every day of filming was filled with magic, creativity, genuine collaboration and incredible team spirit. I am deeply grateful, truly happy and very proud to be part of this video”.

No matter how deep Ceiba digs into philosophical terrain, TEMIC continue to branch out in all directions both literally and figuratively. The album treats loss not as an end but as one more step along life’s path. “Your soul will never die”, assures lead single “Ceased To Be”, which crosses between prog’s technical sorcery and pop’s divine melodies with relative ease thanks to shrewd guidance from the group’s newest member and bassist Miguel Pereira (Withem, Big City). Supported by swaying leads, towering cleans and firm groove, 10-minute closer “As Long As We Last” promises to stay with us long after its final epic solo.    

“We wrote this album together with contributions from all five members”, the band says. “We allowed ourselves to explore the songs and really extend ourselves while always keeping the emotions at the front of our minds”.  

With Ceiba, TEMIC return with a thunderous ode of prog.

FROZEN CROWN Release New Single "Reborn" + Video! — WATCH + LISTEN

Italian heavy power metal band FROZEN CROWN share the second single from their upcoming album, The Legend of the Six Kings, out October 2 via Napalm Records. "Reborn" is a powerful anthem of steadfastness as well as a bolstering tale about team spirit, perfectly encompassing the more narrative approach the band takes with their new album. With infinitely catchy "Reborn." FROZEN CROWN also show magnificent instrumental abilities through a majestic guitar solo.

Drummer Niso Tomasini about "Reborn":
"'Reborn' continues the narrative arc begun with 'The One,' with bright light manifesting a rebirth after dark. As Samwise Gamgee said, 'Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines, it will shine out the clearer.' On this track, vocalist Giada 'Jade' Etro's voice takes some melancholic shades in the verses that find a great contrast in the powerful and cheerful anthemic choruses, running on a more straightforward, hard-and-heavy-inspired rhythm. In the video clip, our director Raoul Noise captured the band’s new dark fantasy aesthetic on a clear white background, embracing the theme of frost while keeping FROZEN CROWN’s signature live-performance approach, showing the energy and the alchemy between the band members."

Watch the Official Music Video for "Reborn" Below:

FROZEN CROWN about The Legend of the Six Kings:
"With our sixth album—our second on Napalm Records—we continue our search for the quintessential FROZEN CROWN tune, distilling the key elements of our sound and style into increasingly concise and straightforward songs, stripping away all unnecessary frills.

"The Legend of the Six Kings draws directly from our debut album The Fallen King, continuing the saga of the Kings and the Tyrant, as we are—thanks to a brilliant newly extended team—finally able to do justice to what we had in mind with the original concept of the band. The visionary genius of Raoul Noise (the video maker behind all our new videos and band photos), the masterful craftsmanship of Daria Gislon (who designed and built the throne and the literal 'frozen crown') and of course the outstanding artistic talent of Sheila Franco (who hand painted our album cover art) gave life to the vibrant, obscure, frozen world we had in mind since the very beginning of the band, somewhere between J. R. R. Tolkien’s harmonious and regal aesthetics and Robert E. Howard's brutality.

"The Legend of the Six Kings brings not only new visuals, but also an empowered sound, with the young war hearts getting older on the battlefield and becoming an increasingly leading force of the Crown (with drummer and multi-instrumentalist Niso Tomasini becoming a more integral part of the songwriting together with singer Giada 'Jade' Etro and mastermind Federico Mondelli) and new warriors joining our ranks (Aleksandra Stamenkovic and her scorching, old school, abrasive guitar leads).

This sixth album depicts the strength of our six band members, and our personal idea of Power Metal infused in ten catchy tracks touching the most varied nuances of the genre, from raw and uncompromising Speed ​​Metal, to the sumptuous magniloquence of Symphonic Metal, to the occasional linear chaos of Melodic Death Metal, but always sounding as FROZEN CROWN as ever!"

JOAN AS POLICE WOMAN radiates on "Feed The Light" from new "Real Life Evolutio" album

Iconic NYC artist Joan As Police Woman presents 'Feed The Light', a highlight track from her new 'Real Life Evolution' album, released via UK label Reveal Records. She says, "Songs live beyond their creators. Like us, they settle into themselves over time, finding their own equilibrium. That spirit is the pulse of this new album — ten reimagined versions of every song from the original 'Real Life'".

She also shares the video for the 'Feed The Light (Real Life Anniversary Sessions)', the latest from  series, recorded by Adam Sachs at The Owl Music Parlor in Brooklyn and filmed by Ehud Lazin.

The album version differs markedly with Joan playing Fender Rhodes as her chosen instrument, while the video finds her blissfully at home on bass guitar. Recorded by Danny Blume at Hidden Quarry Studios in Bearsville, NY, the album version involves long-term collaborators Thomas Bartlett  (Rhodes bass) and Parker Kindred (drums and vocals). In the video version, Joan is joined by Jeremy Gustin on drums and Will Graefe on guitar and vocals.

Joan has also announced February 2027 dates for her 'Real Life 20th Anniversary Tour', complimenting her November 2026 dates, bringing her to UK, Italy, Germany, France and The Netherlands. Performing her debut 'Real Life' album as a trio, shows will also include song from her catalogue, fan favourites, deep cuts and many surprises

Joan Wasser, known as Joan As Police Woman since 2004, is a critically acclaimed musician and producer, and a sought-after collaborator, dubbed “the coolest woman in pop” (The Times) and “one of the 21st century’s best musicians” (The Economist). As a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, her music defies easy categorization, crafting her own sound that blends various genres.

‘I wrote this song to survive a tour. I was stuck in a van with a friend who was slowly driving me out of my mind. I kept reaching for compassion — genuinely, I tried — but every generous thought had a way of circling straight back to fantasies of duct tape," says Joan Wasser.

"The arrangement came together with Parker Kindred during a massive blizzard in upstate New York. I wanted to break free from the guitar riff the song was born on and find something with more lift to it. I started playing a line on the Rhodes and sang to that instead — and something opened up. Parker adds his voice to the track as well, and I got happily lost in the vintage synths. Thomas Bartlett is magnificent on Rhodes bass; he absolutely tears it apart in the best possible way."

Joan also recently shared the 'Real Life (Real Life Anniversary Sessions)', confessing “I wrote this song to romance a man. We met once for 3 minutes and I had decided he was The One. Bear in mind, this is ages ago. Conveniently, we lived 6000 miles apart.... I brazenly put his name in the song. Unsurprisingly it didn’t work out between us. But the song did." This follows stripped-down trio-format versions of 'Eternal Flame', 'Flushed Chest', 'The Ride', 'Anyone' and 'I Defy'.

Unveiled exactly 20 years from her debut's release, Joan As Police Woman has reimagined her 'Real Life' album with numerous guests. Through countless performances, these renditions are brought to life by the brilliance of the players who helped define their sound. The result is ten stunning tracks with varied flavours and collaborators.

Renowned for their intense, high-energy and chaotic live performances, the band continues to build momentum with their single "Volatile," featuring Richard Patrick (Filter) and Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails), which has surpassed one million streams. The song's accompanying music video was selected for the Berlin Music Video Awards.

SoCal Metal Band Fraxures Return With Steaming New Single “Trauma Bond" via Cleopatra Records

Los Angeles, California: SoCal metal band Fraxures unleashes the third single from its highly anticipated new album, Hexes. Since forming during the pandemic, the powerhouse five-piece has forged an unmistakable sound, blending crushing heaviness with emotional depth. Hexes is a raw and unapologetic exploration of the darkest aspects of the human condition, told through a deeply personal perspective that follows a journey through the shadows in search of the light.

“'Trauma Bond' is based upon being trauma bonded to someone. No matter how toxic the relationship is, the two cannot seem to break away from each other, yet they find no peace in each other’s presence. So the song outlines the push-pull of that relationship, being helplessly bonded through the chaos the two have built, and finally being able to break that bond and be free of the constant space of trauma that festers in the unity of the two people," says frontman Travis Neal.

HEXES CD/Vinyl is Available HERE

HEXES Digital is Available HERE

WATCH "Trauma Bond" Official Music Video Below:

Formed in 2020 in southern California, Fraxures line up as: Travis Neal (vocals), Fred Aching (drums), Vinny Marvaso (bass), Nolan Davis (guitar, vocals) and Esty Sanchez (guitar) - seasoned musicians from renowned acts such as William Shatner Band, Deadgroove, Kings Of Thrash, Divine Heresy, Powerflo, BillyBio, The Bloodline, and A Hero Within.  The members’ shared passion for creating earth-shattering music saw FRΛXURES emerge as a force to be reckoned with, blending the raw energy of metal with a modern edge. 

Their sound reflects their rich history, while carving a distinct path in the heavy music scene, reflected by the success of live performances alongside some of the biggest names in metal and alternative rock - Fear Factory, Snot, Taproot, Orbit Culture, Of Mice & Men and Unearth among them.

Fraxure’s first release, the critically acclaimed EP Firewater Sessions, was produced by legend Billy Graziadei of Biohazard. Showcasing the band’s ability to channel crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics into a cohesive sonic experience, it led to them joining the Cleopatra Records family last year, since then they have released two singles, “Blackheart Serenade" and "It’s No Good," a hit on into Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart.

Now Hexes is on the horizon, and for the band’s fans, its September 4th release date cannot arrive quickly enough, all the more so after the band announced “Grab the vinyl or deluxe CD to explore the deeper meaning of each track.”

Darius Rucker's "Wagon Wheel" Joins Spotify Billions Club with Surprise Red Rocks Presentation Alongside OCMS's Ketch Secor

Before taking the stage at Red Rocks Amphitheatre on Saturday, July 25, Darius Rucker and Old Crow Medicine Show’s Ketch Secor were surprised with a Spotify Billions Club plaque commemorating Rucker’s iconic version of “Wagon Wheel” surpassing one billion streams on the platform. Later in the evening, the multi-GRAMMY winners combined forces  to perform the chart-topping hit together, bringing the song’s remarkable journey full circle as the songwriter and the artist whose version has been streamed over a billion times shared the milestone with a sold-out crowd.
 
“You never know where a song is going to take you, and I don’t think any of us could’ve imagined ‘Wagon Wheel’ would still mean this much to people all these years later,” marvels Rucker. “To celebrate a billion streams with Ketch right before we walked out at Red Rocks made it even more special. I’m grateful to everybody who’s made this song part of their lives, and I’ll keep singing it as long as y’all let me!”
 
Originally completed by Secor after he heard an unfinished Bob Dylan demo featuring what would become the song’s chorus, “Wagon Wheel” became an instant classic when OCMS released it in 2004. Rucker’s rendition was released in 2013 for his True Believers album and has taken on a life of its own, transcending country radio to become one of the defining songs of its generation while earning both a GRAMMY Award and RIAA Diamond certification.
 
“Songs have a funny way of finding their own path, and ‘Wagon Wheel’ has had one incredible life,” reflects Secor. “Watching Darius bring it around the world over the last decade has been one of the greatest gifts a songwriter could ever receive. Standing beside him at Red Rocks to celebrate this milestone felt like watching another beautiful chapter get written.”
 
Spotify’s Billions Club is the platform’s flagship playlist celebrating tracks that have surpassed one billion streams. Since its launch, it has evolved into one of Spotify’s most prestigious programs, encompassing artist plaques, original video series, live concerts, long-form videos and more.
 
The milestone comes amid another busy chapter for Rucker, who is currently playing cities across the country on his Songs of Summer Tour in addition to select festival dates with his Hootie & the Blowfish bandmates. He was also recently announced as the national anthem performer at the upcoming WWE SummerSlam on Aug. 2 and will host the fifth annual edition of his own Riverfront Revival festival in Charleston on Oct. 9-10. For more information and to purchase tickets to upcoming shows, visit www.dariusrucker.com and follow on social media @DariusRucker

G Major Management continues its growth with the addition of rising country artists Mae Estes and Clayton Mullen, joining an artist lineup that already includes Thomas Rhett and Ella Gibson, alongside the expansion of its team with the hiring of Kenzie Couch and Taylor Venis.
 
“The heart of G Major has always been the people,” shares G Major Founder Virginia Bunetta. “We look for artists who have a clear vision and a strong work ethic. Our team is one that will champion them every step of the way.”
 
Arkansas native Mae Estes joins G Major as momentum continues to build around her career. The Blue Highway Records artist recently released her label debut, “The 90s Called,” a traditional country anthem celebrating the music and artists that shaped her sound. Estes has earned recognition as a member of CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2024, was named the Association of Independent Music Publishers’ Rising Artist-Writer of the Year in 2024 and is a three-time Arkansas Country Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year.
 
“I’m absolutely blown away at the powerhouse staff that makes up G Major,” shares Estes. “Virginia is the ultimate leader and truly surrounds herself with only the best. The alignment of this partnership has been the biggest blessing to me and the rest of my team. I’ve truly never been so excited about the future of my music. I’m so excited to continue to dream with and learn from this incredible group of people!”
 
“Mae Estes is a treasure,” shares Bunetta. “Her songwriting, vocal ability and her love, passion and stewardship for traditional country music is unrivaled. We are thrilled to be a part of her journey.”

Independent singer-songwriter Clayton Mullen also joins the G Major roster following a breakout run that has seen him surpass 40 million career streams and cultivate a rapidly growing fanbase. Preparing to release a new EP this summer with support from CmdShft, Mullen previews the new project with “Can’t Compete with Carolina,” available Friday, July 31. With upcoming dates in Australia supporting Tyler Braden, he has also shared the stage with the likes of Warren Zeiders, Vincent Mason and Logan Crosby and performed on select dates with Sam Hunt and Billy Currington.
 
“I was fortunate to meet the G Major team at exactly the right time in my career,” says Mullen. “I feel like I’m finding my stride as an artist, and I’m ready to take that next big step. From our very first conversation, it was clear we shared the same vision, and I knew I had found a team that truly believed in what I’m building. Their experience, passion and commitment to developing artists made G Major the perfect partner for this next chapter. It already feels like home, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what we’ll accomplish together.”
 
“Clayton Mullen has built a strong foundation through years of consistent touring and a deep commitment to his craft,” shares G Major Sr. Director of Marketing Samantha Thornton. “It’s exciting to see his artistry continue to grow with each new chapter. We’re honored to be part of his journey as he reaches even more fans.”

In addition to its roster expansion, G Major has strengthened its team with the addition of Taylor Venis as Day-to-Day Manager and Kenzie Couch as Assistant Day-to-Day manager. Venis and Couch join team members Thornton, Sr. Director of Business Operations Harry Lyons, Manager of Insights & Fan Engagement Strategy Emilie Gilbert, Digital Manager Madeline Lary and Day-to-Day Manager John Hoskins.
 
Venis brings more than six years of experience across executive operations, artist relations and event management. A Magna Cum Laude graduate of Belmont University’s Music Business program, she has held roles with Red Light Management, SB Projects, Q Prime South and Riser House Entertainment. She joined Big Loud Records in 2021 as Sr. Executive Assistant to the company’s CEO, rising to Day-to-Day manager, where she oversaw merchandise and album launch campaigns, including the record-breaking all-genre No. 1 album One Thing At A Time, as well as Director of Special Events. Venis will serve as Day-to-Day Manager for Estes while working closely with G Major’s roster, helping oversee artist strategy and execution.
 
Couch joins the company as Assistant Day-to-Day Manager after building a strong foundation in Country music promotion. A graduate of the University of Tennessee, she most recently served as Promotions Coordinator at MCA, where she contributed to multiple No. 1 country radio singles for artists including Jordan Davis, Sam Hunt and Luke Bryan, as well as Taylor Swift’s historic return to country radio with “I Knew It, I Knew You.” Recognized as one of Country Aircheck’s 2024 “The ReMix: Power 31 – Who’s Next?” Honorees and a Top 5 nominee for the 2025 CRS/Country Aircheck New Faces of Country Music (Professional), Couch will support artist operations and management across the growing roster.
 
“I am beyond excited for the next chapter of G Major’s growth,” shares Bunetta. “Kenzie and Taylor are incredible additions to our operations team who are already making an impact with their energy and professionalism.”
 
G Major Mgmt was founded by Bunetta in 2014, in partnership with Live Nation’s Artist Nation. Bunetta began her distinguished artist management career in 2007 with Front Line’s Irving Azoff, after serving as General Manager at Raybaw Records (Warner Brothers) and marketing director at Nashville Songwriters Association International.

MALVADA Share New Single “Anymore (English Version of “Aversa~O”)”

Women-led, talented Brazilian Rock band MALVADA are pleased to share the new single and official visualizer for 'Anymore (English version of “Aversa~o”)', as part of the digital deluxe edition of their self-titled album, originally released in June 2025 and out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

The band commented: “Anymore” is about breaking free from a relationship built on manipulation, greed, and lies. It's the moment when someone stops seeing the other person through a fantasy, recognizes the truth behind the mask, and decides to close the door on everything that no longer deserves a place in their life. At its core, the song is about liberation, self-awareness, and reclaiming your own strength”.

Watch the Official Visualizer for

“Anymore (English version of “Aversa~o”)” Below:

The rising star of the Brazilian rock scene has a name: MALVADA, and they are ready to take over the world!

MALVADA was initially formed in March 2020, during the beginning of the pandemic. With a rock n' roll style full of personality, the band quickly attracted attention as one of the most promising acts in the Brazilian rock scene.

In January 2021, MALVADA released their first single entitled "Mais Um Gole", which gained greater prominence in the scene. Shortly afterward, in May of the same year, it was time to release the second single "Cada Escolha uma Renúncia", which preceded the launch of the band's debut album, "A Noite Vai Ferver". 

In the years 2022 and 2023, MALVADA solidified its presence on the national rock panorama, performing more than a hundred shows in several cities in Brazil. The band had the privilege of participating in huge festivals, such as Rock in Rio, Best of Blues and Rock, Angra Fest and Chama Rock, sharing the stage with renowned national and international rock names, like Pitty, Ira!, Angra, Viper, Edu Falaschi, Matanza, Golpe de Estado, Extreme and Tom Morello.

In November 2023, MALVADA, composed of Indira Castillo, Bruna Tsuruda, Rafaela Reoli and Juliana Salgado surprised with a big announcement: the band has become the newest signee of the prestigious Italian label Frontiers Records, which has renowned bands in its catalog such as Mr. Big, Asia, Whitesnake, Jeff Scott Soto, among others, promising to take them to a new level, with opportunities to expand their reach and conquer the global market.

Their latest self-titled album, released last June and produced by the Brazilian Grammy awarded producer Giu Daga, delivers a powerful and exciting musical experience, featuring tracks in both English and Portuguese, setting the bar for the band to conquer a global audience. 

MALVADA recently toured Europe with Michael Schenker, wrapping the tour up last month, and are set to play again at Rock in Rio in September, along with Bring Me The Horizon, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Omens and Poppy.

Indira Castillo - Vocals

Bruna Tsuruda - Guitar

Juliana Salgado - Drums

Gunshine's New Album 'Grand Rising' Out Now! Release Single "Capt'n Save a Hoe"

Florida rock band Gunshine have released their new album, Grand Rising,  along with the focus track "Capt'n Save A Hoe" via vnclm_ / Create Music Group. 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.

"I'm very proud of this record, it's definitely fresh and original. As we continue to put out music, I think our fans and other listeners will see that we are not boxed into one sound or one 'thing'. We love being creative and making true art, just writing whatever comes out. I'm super stoked for everyone to hear this record!" says Austin Ingerman. 

He continues, "'Capt'n Save a Hoe' blends rock, hip hop, and funk elements with a groove that sets the tone throughout the track. Lyrically it's a reminder to not get dragged down by a relationship that's no longer serving you. I had fun with the production on this one and added a lot of hip hop inspired layers. The main groove was actually inspired by Michael McDonald's 'I Keep Forgettin''. I've always liked songs that blend multiple genres and flavors, and we definitely did that on this song."

"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."

MESHUGGAH Release Remastered Anniversary Editions of 'Destroy Erase Improve' and 'Catch Thirtythree'

The Illustrious Swedish extreme metal band MESHUGGAH mark two notable milestones with Destroy Erase Improve: 30th Anniversary Edition and Catch Thirtythree: 20th Anniversary Edition. Released via Reigning Phoenix Music, MESHUGGAH honor two of their most influential works with these remastered anniversary editions. Both titles are available on vinyl, CD digipack, and digitally, featuring the original album artwork and newly remastered audio.

Alongside the arrival of Destroy Erase Improve: 30th Anniversary Edition, the remastered single "Suffer in Truth" is featured as one of the most revered songs on the track list.

Listen to "Suffer in Truth" below:

In celebration of Catch Thirtythree: 20th Anniversary Edition, the remastered "Dehumanization" has been unveiled as one of the album's most momentous offerings. 

Listen to "Dehumanization" here: https://meshuggah.rpm.link/dehumanization20PR

Order the Catch Thirtythree: 20th Anniversary Edition here: https://meshuggah.rpm.link/catch20PR

Originally released in 1995, Destroy Erase Improve marked a decisive turning point not only for MESHUGGAH, but for the future of heavy music itself. The album introduced a sharpened and unmistakable version of the band’s evolving language: machine-like rhythmic precision, dissonant riff architecture, jazz-fusion flashes, and a level of technical control that would become foundational to progressive, extreme, math, and djent-adjacent metal in the decades that followed. Widely regarded as one of the defining metal albums of the 1990s, Destroy Erase Improve remains a blueprint for the sound MESHUGGAH would make entirely their own.

A decade later, MESHUGGAH pushed their vision even further with Catch Thirtythree. Released in 2005, the album stands as one of the band’s most singular statements: a continuous 47-minute composition divided into 13 movements, built around hypnotic repetition, shifting rhythmic illusions, crushing eight-string guitar work, and an atmosphere that remains uniquely immersive within the band’s catalog. Self-produced by MESHUGGAH, Catch Thirtythree also marked the band’s only full-length album built with programmed drums, using Toontrack’s Drumkit From Hell technology as part of its stark, futuristic design.

Both anniversary editions reaffirm the lasting impact of MESHUGGAH’s work across generations of heavy music. From the genre-redefining force of Destroy Erase Improve to the monolithic conceptual scope of Catch Thirtythree, these remastered releases offer longtime followers and new listeners alike the chance to experience two essential chapters in the band’s history with renewed clarity and weight.

V.B.O. Explore Fast-Paced Love And Neon Lights In "Shadow of Your Kiss", Release Debut Album Vice Business Only

Under the neon lights of Miami's streets love burns bright and is fast extinguished in a city that never sleeps. In the new single and video for "Shadow of Your Kiss", V.B.O. expose the light and shade that arises when deep connections are formed and severed in this urban landscape. "Shadow of Your Kiss" arrives alongside V.B.O.'s debut full length Vice Business Only, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music. 

"'Shadow of Your Kiss' is the fourth official video by Vice Business Only, telling the story of a love that ignites and fades within the frenzy and chaos of an American metropolis." Explains Francesco Cavalieri..

"The track captures the emotional intensity of a relationship shaped by fast-paced lives, sleepless nights, and moments that burn bright before disappearing. Love is a central element in life, and it holds the same importance in our music. Like all powerful emotions, it carries both passion and pain — leaving behind memories that are beautiful, intense, and impossible to erase. This song is a reflection of that duality: the light and the darkness that every unforgettable connection leaves behind."

Order Vice Business Only HERE!

With eerie bass tones and retro-synth arpeggios, "Shadow of Your Kiss" explores the centrality of love in our lives and the powerful emotions that accompany it. Risers and vocoders enhance the mood as the dynamics ebb and flow across the track. The catchy lead melody hook and vocal lines throughout "Shadow of Your Kiss" inject an anthemic touch that is matched with the electronic textures. 

Vice Business Only was recorded at LSD-Studios (Lübeck, Germany), produced, mixed and mastered by Lasse Lammert. Photography is by Onofrio Petronella and Tommaso Barletta, with the album cover artwork design by V.B.O.

ESOTERIK Shatter the Binary with New Single “No Absolutes”

ESOTERIK unveil their new single “No Absolutes,” a hypnotic and high-impact track that captures the tension between spiritual awakening and human volatility. Built on down-tuned riffs, syncopated industrial rhythms, and a massive electronic low-end, the song delivers a collision of polished mechanical precision and raw emotional release.

Where the band’s previous single “Cycles” introduced listeners to the agonizing loops of human repetition, “No Absolutes” violently shatters the wheel. The track rejects artificial moral binaries and societal expectations of perfection, urging listeners to embrace the fractured, chaotic, and beautifully imperfect nature of the human journey.

At the center of the song is Allison Eckfeldt’s dynamic vocal performance, moving seamlessly from intimate, haunting whispers to explosive, confrontational anthems. Her delivery mirrors the track’s central theme: the divided self is not something to be conquered, but integrated.

Musically, “No Absolutes” was crafted to feel expansive, heavy, and precise. The band relied on a Mesa Boogie Mark V amplifier to preserve mid-range clarity while cutting through the electronic weight of the production. Rhythm guitars were re-amped and doubled with a wide left-right panning spread, carving out a powerful center channel for Allison’s vocals to strike with maximum impact. Subtle octave layers lift the choruses, giving the track added depth and scale at its most explosive moments.

The single’s visual identity expands the song’s philosophy through sacred geometry. The cover art features the Vesica Piscis, an ancient symbol formed by the intersection of two identical circles and often associated with creation, duality, and the meeting point between the spiritual and physical worlds. Wrapped in protective shielding and untamed thorny vines, the imagery reflects the song’s thesis: we are not fragmented, warring personalities, but one unified being experiencing life across multiple frequencies.

With “No Absolutes,” ESOTERIK deliver a sonic manifesto for anyone caught between contradiction and self-acceptance. Heavy, hypnotic, and emotionally charged, the single stands as one of the band’s most urgent and resonant releases to date.

Melodic Death Metal Quartet FALSIMONIAN Release Video For New Anguish Driven Track "The Enemy"

FALSIMONIAN present a ferocious aggression in their new single offering, "The Enemy". Taken from the forthcoming EP For Survival, scheduled to arrive independently on November 7, 2026, the track is rooted in melodic death metal alongside groove, thrash metal, and black metal influences. 

On the new release, FALSIMONIAN share: 
"'The Enemy' speaks about the manipulation that society has fallen where everyone is pitted against each other to create conflict and a divide in society making enemies of people who may share a common goal."

"The Enemy" sees FALSIMONIAN joined by vocalist Alfredo Rocha Sifuente (ORCUS O DIS) whose performance alongside Erick Valverde contributes to the depiction of argumentative voices in conflict. This vocal arrangement is designed to evoke a state of paranoia and persecution complex. The track's chorus sees the vocal parts join to further emphasize the 'victim/aggressor' dichotomy. Fast-paced and overlapping phrases build a sense of urgency, anger and chaos.

The US and Mexico based melodic death metal band FALSIMONIAN infuse their dynamic heavy sound with influences from Mexican folk and Latin-American roots music, as well as progressive elements and jazz. Centered around a fictional, dystopian world, the upcoming EP considers the everyday impact onto individuals who are living under the threat and fear of a world-ending catastrophe.

For Survival was produced by Jesus Fuentes Valverde, with mixing and mastering by Gil Andrade. Drums engineering was undertaken by Ruben Sanchez at Urvn Studios, with guitars and keyboards recorded by Jesus Fuentes Valverde and vocals recorded by Erick Valverde. Guitar and vocal editing, and bass programming, was by Jesus Fuentes Valverde. Additional guitars on "Limitless", "Judgment" and "For Survival" were recorded and edited by Cesar Robles. 

All artwork photography for the EP and single releases are from X-Rays Erick Valverde has taken over the last 10 years. The artworks utilize original photographs of a colorful sunset as the light source behind the X-Rays. These colors are commonly seen in the desert skies of the US/Mexico border. Ariadne Willis, adjusted the photographs for the layout and design of the EP and single covers. Erick's accidents and health struggles have also indirectly influenced the overall theme of the EP. Additional photography by Rancho Creativo Studios.

CULT ICON SHERI MOON ZOMBIE UNVEILS DEBUT SINGLE & VIDEO "I LOVE MY ROBOT"

Cult icon, actress, designer, and longtime horror favorite SHERI MOON ZOMBIE expands her creative universe today with the release of her debut single and music video, "I Love My Robot." Helmed by acclaimed producer Zeuss and accompanied by a video directed by ROB ZOMBIE, the track blends retro sci-fi, playful camp, and infectious hooks into an irresistibly offbeat anthem that is unmistakably SHERI.

Equal parts tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly timely, "I Love My Robot" offers a witty take on life in an increasingly algorithm-driven world. Beneath its infectious energy and B-movie charm, the song celebrates imagination, individuality, and the simple joy of thinking for yourself. It's a playful reminder that while technology may make life easier, nothing can replace genuine creativity or human connection.

Coinciding with today's release, Nuclear Blast has launched pre-orders for an exclusive 12-inch picture disc featuring "I Love My Robot" on Side A and Rob Zombie's "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman" on Side B. Limited to just 600 copies worldwide (500 US / 100 EU), the one-time pressing is scheduled for release on October 30, making it an essential collector's item for fans of the Zombieuniverse.

The release also arrives ahead of ROB ZOMBIE’s North American summer tour with MARILYN MANSON in support of his latest studio album, The Great Satan, further celebrating a creatively prolific year for the ZOMBIE camp.
