About the broadcast, Blothar comments:

"GWAR coming at you live from the very gates of hell. Talk about a shitty gated community, who runs this HOA? We decided to do a gig at a real live hellmouth at the Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee. Not since Buffy the Vampire Slayer has a hellmouth seen so much death and destruction. We kicked the devil’s ass, and now you can watch a video stream of the whole bloody affair!"

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

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

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

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

JOHN expressed his excitement by saying:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In regard to the album, DISSONA states: 

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

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

New Recording Artist AUSTEN STARR Releases Debut Single "I Am The Enemy" + Music Video

Having recently signed to Frontiers Music Srl, rising rocker AUSTEN STARR is elated to release her debut single "I Am The Enemy" alongside a music video, available to view below. With this striking debut single, AUSTEN STARR sets the stage for what promises to be an ambitious and emotionally charged musical journey.

AUSTEN STARR comments on signing to Frontiers:

“I'm very excited and very grateful to be working with Frontiers. Despite me being a brand-new artist, they were highly supportive of my vision and they gave me free reign in terms of artistic expression. It's really, really cool of a label to do that for a debut. Thank you, Frontiers!”

On the new single, she adds:

"’I Am The Enemy’ leans slightly into 'pop,' but has been a favorite of everyone involved in the project, and the timing seemed right for a summer release to be this upbeat and deceptively saccharine. The video intends to show the dichotomy that exists around my desire to live within this 'rockstar' persona; one side is really tortured about it and the other is excited about it. The version of me that you see on the Viper Room stage is the culmination and resolution of those two parts.”

Watch the Music Video for “I Am The Enemy"

About AUSTEN STARR:



AUSTEN STARR is a reluctant Bostonian with a penchant for self-induced misery. A natural contrarian, she was raised in a household where being a musician was the last thing she was encouraged to do—so, of course, AUSTEN recorded an album with the help of some heavy-hitters from Frontiers and beyond. While AUSTEN considers herself to be an “anxious wreck,” she’s channeled her inner turmoil and contradictions into a compelling musical statement. AUSTEN's penchant for hypocrisy is almost as defined as her narrative voice. After all, she admits both to hating bad grammar and to using it in one of her own songs because it fits the meter. When she’s not rocking out on stage or recording, AUSTEN is learning guitar, embracing "emo karaoke nights," and forging ahead with a relentless, albeit trepidatious, determination to carve out her place in the music world.

BAND LINE UP:

Vocals: Austen Starr

Guitars: Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Revolution Saints, Iconic, Cher, Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

Bass/Drums: Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Lita Ford)

Keyboards: Steve Ferlazzo (Hugo's Voyage, Avril Lavigne)

Background Vocals: Chloe Lowery (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

British Rock Icons SKUNK ANANSIE Release New Music Video "Shame"

British rock icons SKUNK ANANSIE have released the striking video for their new single "Shame." A deeply personal song for lead singer Skin, reflecting her family background, the video is a cathartic expression of her exorcising past demons.

Skin shares on the video:

“‘Shame’ is one of the most personal songs we’ve ever written. Many of us feel or get unconnected to our families because of the lives we need to lead in order to be happy; sometimes they just can’t understand who we are if we are not like them and there’s a lot of shame and hurt in that. ‘Shame’ is dedicated to those outcasts, to those kids that go on to find new families that support & love them, give them hope and help them find true contentment.”

The song is taken from the UK Top 10 album 'The Painful Truth,' out now via FLG. A mesmerizing, provocative, powerful and emotional collection, it is the sound of SKUNK ANANSIE facing up to who they are and what they want to become. It is more than an album title. It is a reality that they have lived through and has been greeted by rapturous reviews.

Watch the Music Video for “Shame”

Produced by David Sitek of TV On The Radio fame, 'The Painful Truth' is a fresh, frank, uplifting, and richly textured album that proves SKUNK ANANSIE’s knack for writing big pop songs remains defiantly undiminished. If anything, their hooks are sharper than ever, sinking in quicker and hitting harder.

'The Painful Truth' marks SKUNK ANANSIE’s first release on the newly formed FLG Records, and it carries a vitality that belies their storied career and multi-platinum achievements. With 'The Painful Truth,' SKUNK ANANSIE boldly reclaim their place as one of the most exciting, visionary, and essential bands in British music.

On the new album, Skin confesses:

“When I really think about it, yes, we have made some good records in our time but it’s been a long time since we have made a great album. And that is the painful truth. Understanding that, led us to making what I genuinely think is our greatest record yet.”

Order 'The Painful Truth' HERE

About SKUNK ANANSIE:

SKUNK ANANSIE formed in 1994 in London, and are a truly seminal band. One of the first multi-racial British rock bands, they are known for their powerful sound and thought-provoking lyrics. Fronted by the charismatic and dynamic vocalist Skin, the band blends alternative rock with elements of punk and metal. They remain one of the most important and influential bands of their era.

Their debut album ‘Paranoid & Sunburnt’ (1995) and its follow up ‘Stoosh’ (1996) both hit the Top 10 album chart in the UK, and with hits like “Weak” and “Hedonism,” they established themselves on the international stage, helped by their stunning live performances. In 1999, SKUNK ANANSIE closed the decade off in style by releasing their third studio album, ‘Post Orgasmic Chill’ and headlining Glastonbury Festival, before surprisingly going on a lengthy hiatus in 2001.

The band reconvened in 2008 to embark on the second chapter of their career, releasing three acclaimed albums - 2010’s ‘Wonderlustre,’ 2012’s ‘Black Traffic’ and 2016’s ‘Anarchytecture.’ In 2019, the band marked their 25th anniversary with ‘25LIVE@25,’ a live album that brings together the greatest songs from their six studio albums.

Throughout their career, SKUNK ANANSIE have sold over five million records around the world. The band’s international prominence continues to thrive today, selling out live arenas and headlining festivals across the continent, and now with ‘The Painful Truth’ receiving rave reviews around the world, SKUNK ANANSIE are back at the peak of their powers.

Avant-Grind Extremists SQUID PISSER Announce Full US Tour This August + Dates Supporting King Parrot with Bonginator

This August, SQUID PISSER launches a gut-churning month-long U.S. rampage with bloodthirsty Aussies King Parrot and the crushing behemoth Bonginator unleashing a relentless maelstrom of sweat, spit, and sonic bile. Along the way, they’ll infect the twisted chaos of Gathering of the Juggalos before closing the carnage by tearing it wide open for the infamous O Sees in Los Angeles.

After hurling their bile-soaked 2024 full-length ‘Dreams of Puke’ into the world, SQUID PISSER is back in the slime trenches, wrangling fresh abominations with noise conjurer Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business). The new filth is bubbling just beneath the surface, ready to rip open your brain with mutated riffs and corrosive noise.

Frontman Tommy Meehan shares:

“After we dropped ‘Dreams of Puke’ and ‘Vaporize a Neighbor’ and toured a bunch with GWAR last year, we never really stopped. We’re wrapping new recordings with Toshi Kasai (Melvins, Big Business, etc), and we’re deep in the mixing phase right now—it’s some of the nastiest stuff we’ve done.

"This August, we’re heading out for a full U.S. tour with King Parrot and Bonginator, and somehow, we’re also playing the Gathering of the Juggalos? Our homecoming show is in Los Angeles with O Sees, which we are super excited about... It’s a weird, stacked, totally chaotic year, but that’s how we all love it...“

About SQUID PISSER:

Hailing from Los Angeles, SQUID PISSER is a grotesque vortex of hardcore, noise, and avant-grind—founded in 2020 by guitarist/noise alchemist/vocalist Tommy Meehan (GWAR, Cancer Christ, Deaf Club, Sweatband Records) and drummer Seth Carolina (Starcrawler), joined by guitarists Michael Armendariz (Duck Duck Goose, Melted Bodies), Raz Azraai (Cancer Christ), and bassist Corey Wolford, the band summons a slime-soaked chaos that’s as unhinged as it is surgically precise.

Two full-length releases, 'My Tadpole Legion' (2023,Three One G/Sweatband) and 'Dreams of Puke' (2024,SKiN GRAFT/Sweatband), along with the EP 'Vaporize A Neighbor'(packaged as a comic-book/vinyl set), showcase the band’s breakneck fusion of grungy sludge, grindcore intensity, and grotesque humor.

'My Tadpole Legion' launched with a cavalcade of guest vocalists, including names from Melt-Banana, The Locust, Punch, Nekrogoblikon, and more. Mixed by Converge’s Kurt Ballou, the album is a head-on collision of manic pedalboard wizardry, savage drums, and creepy alien vocals. Following that, 'Dreams of Puke' pushed the band’s sonic depravity even further—melding grind, noise rock, and mathcore into a dizzying, high-speed barrage. The album features even more left-field experimentation, unhinged tempo shifts, and grotesque lyrical absurdity. Visually tied together by the disturbing artwork of Gregory Jacobsen (Lovely Little Girls), 'Dreams of Puke' cements SQUID PISSER’s reputation as genre-melting chaos dealers with zero interest in playing it safe.

On stage, the band resembles a horde of mutant cephalopods: flickering lights, fuzzy coats, crowd-invading vocals, mosh-pit invasions, and pure disorientation. Vocalist Tommy Meehanfrequently breaks the fourth wall—storming into the audience, screaming face-to-face, and turning every set into a sweaty, chaotic ritual. SQUID PISSER has been tearing up venues across the U.S. while opening for bands like GWAR and Melt-Banana.

Described as “blazing and shredding buckets of hot vomit and creamy Skittles at breakneck speeds,” SQUID PISSER thrives on controlled chaos: blistering noise, savage drumming, and slime-drenched vocals that defy convention. This isn’t for the faint-hearted—it’s unabashed, unsettling, utterly original hardcore from the underbelly of L.A.

Seth Carolina - Drums

Rock Icon GLENN HUGHES Unveils New Single “Voice In My Head” + Lyric Video

Rock legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee GLENN HUGHES is pleased to unveil his new single and accompanying video, "Voice In My Head," taken from his upcoming studio album 'Chosen,' set for release on September 5, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

“'Voice In My Head' tells the story of what’s goin’ on in my subconscious mind. It’s a song that most definitely needed to be written. Very therapeutic.

"We all have 'this voice.' Observe, recognize and be a witness, & let go…”

Watch the Lyric Video for "Voice In My Head"

Commenting on the new album, GLENN stated:

“Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, 'Resonate.' There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists since 2016.

“When writing 'Chosen,' I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith, and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!"

Vocalist, bassist, and songwriter GLENN HUGHES is a true original. No other rock musician has so distinctively blended the finest elements of hard rock, soul, and funk. His astonishing voice is his calling card; he's known as a singer's singer.

After a nine-year hiatus as a solo artist, GLENN HUGHES returns with 'Chosen,' a brand-new solo album that finds him at his most hard-rocking. Explosive and dynamic, 'Chosen'showcases HUGHES at his absolute best, both in songwriting and production. A truly captivating return!

Pre-Order 'Chosen' HERE

GLENN HUGHES, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, The Beatles, and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis also left their mark on him.

GLENN HUGHES first found success in the early '70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdaleto the group. Despite initial skepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of‘Burn’ (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.

During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet, The Starship, and released two more studio albums, ‘Stormbringer’ and ‘Come Taste The Band,’ before disbanding in 1976.

GLENN's first solo album, ‘Play Me Out,’ was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Traversguitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the '80s and '90s, GLENN HUGHES made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists' albums. The endless list includes, among others, Gary Moore, John Norum, and Tony Iommiof Black Sabbath.

Since 1992, GLENN has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith, Dave Navarro, John Frusciante, and many others.

HUGHES also founded, or took part in, some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.

GLENN recently collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket,” which was released on May 22nd, 2025. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time GLENN has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released “Fused” together.

GLENN HUGHES has also recently joined forces with Satch Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar.”

Melodic Hard Rockers LAGUNA Release Debut Album 'The Ghost Of Katrina' — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

Melodic hard rockers LAGUNA are excited to announce the release of their debut album, 'The Ghost Of Katrina,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. In addition, the focus track, “Electric High,” is out now accompanied by a visualizer, available to view below.

Vocalist Andrés Espada describes the focus track:

“This song is an unrelenting, high-octane ride from start to finish, with intensity cranked up to ten. It's all about unleashing raw energy, losing control, and breaking down doors.”

Watch the Visualizer for “Electric High"

Hailing from the northern part of Mexico, from the arid desert of Torreón, Coahuila, LAGUNA is a five-piece hard rock band ready to take the world by storm with their debut album, ‘The Ghost Of Katrina.’

Drawing from the European and Scandinavian melodic hard rock scene, LAGUNA’s sound is an electrifying blend of powerful production, anthemic choruses, and in-your-face guitar riffs deriving from influences like One Desire, H.E.A.T., and other renowned acts from the scene.

'The Ghost Of Katrina' is produced by Jimmy Westerlund (known for his work with One Desire and more recently Giant), and perfectly captures LAGUNA's high-energy and dynamic style, bringing to life a heavy yet melodic sound that's both thrilling and emotionally charged. The songs feature strong hooks, vibrant instrumentation, and an intensity that reflects the band’s unrelenting passion for hard rock.

Order 'The Ghost Of Katrina' HERE

Formed in 2018 by a group of hard rock and heavy metal enthusiasts, LAGUNA’s sound is rooted in hard rock but with a distinctive modern twist. Their music is crafted to make listeners scream at the top of their lungs and throw their fists into the air – a perfect soundtrack for anyone who craves a high-octane, fist-pumping experience.

LAGUNA’s meteoric rise is a testament to their tireless dedication to their craft. Over the years, they have built a solid reputation in the North and Latin American rock circuits, performing at major festivals like Hell and Heaven Fest (one of Latin America's biggest rock festivals) and the infamous KnotFest. The band has had the privilege of opening for iconic acts such asW.A.S.P., Timo Tolkki, and The Warning, further solidifying their place in the international rock scene.

LAGUNA’s music is a reflection of the barren desert from which they hail – a place where resilience and tenacity are born out of hardship. As guitarist José Mesta explains, “Long before it was a desert, it was a lagoon, but dried out thousands of years ago, leaving nothing but snakes and rats, yet deep down beneath the surface, water flows through the caverns of this great desert”. This metaphor speaks to the essence of LAGUNA – a band born from the depths of hardship, yet ready to rise with the power and energy that only hard rock can bring.

LAGUNA is set to make waves across the global rock scene. Their blend of melodic hooks, heavy riffs, and explosive energy will leave listeners craving more. This is only the beginning for LAGUNA, and they are poised to continue proving that Mexicans can indeed rock!

US Melodic Rockers DOUBLE VISION Release Self-Titled Album of All Original Material — Out Now via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, US melodic rockers DOUBLE VISION take a bold step forward with the release of their new self-titled album of all original material, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate, DOUBLE VISION has released the focus track "Prison Of Illusion," which comes alongside a visualizer, available below.

About the new single, lead singer Chandler Mogel comments:

“This is the opening song on the album, and one of the first songs we wrote for it (along with Aleena Gibson who co-wrote half of the record with us!). A big energetic, ballsy track, with a modern edge, huge chorus - and Tony (our sax player) really shines here! We hope you dig it.”

Watch the Visualizer for “Prison Of Illusion"

Known for delivering pitch-perfect recreations of Foreigner’s timeless hits, DOUBLE VISIONnow solidifies their transition into original music with a track that captures the soaring spirit and emotional depth of classic '80s rock while injecting a fresh, modern edge.

About the new album, DOUBLE VISION comments:

"We wanted to make a record that would be totally our own, but still contain a hat tip (or more) to Foreigner. We didn't want something derivative, but at the same time, something that would appeal to fans of the band. We wanted our own identity and stamp. However, we do feel that a good way to describe the album is that if you took all the different eras of Foreigner and rolled them into one, along with some other sporadic influences, it would sound something like DOUBLE VISION."

Check out this EPK about DOUBLE VISION

THE SPEAKER WARS Premieres Lyric Video for "When The Moon Cries Wolf"

Texas-based rock band THE SPEAKER WARS, featuring legendary drummer Stan Lynch(formerly of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers) and acclaimed singer-songwriter Jon Christopher Davis — has released a brand-new lyric video for “When The Moon Cries Wolf,” one of the standout tracks from the band's recently released self-titled debut album, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

Blending heartfelt lyricism with a driving classic rock spirit, “When The Moon Cries Wolf” captures the band’s signature sound—equal parts seasoned craft and raw energy. The song began to take shape when Davis tossed out the evocative title during a writing session, and from that moment, the song had a life of its own.

Stan Lynch reflects on the track:

“‘When The Moon Cries Wolf’ is a rocker that had me goin’ from the moment JCD blurted out the title. It was a gas to record; it just kept getting stronger the more we played it. Jon sings the snot out of it, and once he had the vocal, the tune reminded me of Mad Dogs & Englishmen's early records. It's even better when we play it live."

Watch the Lyric Video for “When The Moon Cries Wolf”

STAN LYNCH, Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, long-time drummer and founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, announces today the formation of THE SPEAKER WARS. After two decades of recording and touring multiple albums with The Heartbreakers, STANmoved to the other side of the recording console and shifted his focus to production and songwriting. Over the years, STAN has written and produced hits for artists in multiple genres, including the Eagles, Don Henley, Tim McGraw, The Mavericks, Ringo Starr, The Byrds, Toto, and The Fabulous Thunderbirds.

While writing in Nashville, a publisher introduced STAN to Texas singer-songwriter, Jon Christopher Davis, who was gathering material for a solo record on a major label. After accumulating an album’s worth of songs, Jon abandoned working on a solo record and the two decided to start a band to perform the newly created material. Adding Jay Michael Smith on guitar, Brian Patterson on bass, Steve Ritter on percussion, and Jay Brown on keyboards, THE SPEAKER WARS was born.

Powerhouse Alternative Rock Trio THE HUNNA Return with New Single "Hide & Seek" + Music Video

Today, powerhouse alternative rock trio THE HUNNA return with their triumphant and anthemic new single, “Hide & Seek.” Accompanying the track is a five-minute cinematic video, directed by Modern Day Auteur, available to view below.

Marking their first new music in three years, “Hide & Seek” sees the powerhouse trio back with a bang. The track was self-produced by the band, mixed by Tarrant Shepherd, and mastered by Katie Tavini (Bloc Party, Kids In Glass Houses, Sam Ryder).

Vocalist/guitarist Ryan Potter comments:

"'Hide & Seek' tells a story of a midway transitional part of a relationship. Built from love & compassion of overcoming the trials & tribulations life can throw at two people yet reaching a point of the natural ebb & flow of life that creates a drifting & transformation between the two."

Watch the Music Video for "Hide & Seek"

THE HUNNA, formed by Jack Metcalfe, Ryan Potter, and Daniel Dorney, burst onto the scene in 2015 with standout singles “Bonfire” and “She’s Casual,” followed by their explosive debut album, ‘100,’ in 2016, which secured their first top 20 record, reaching number 13 on the UK album chart.

Bolstered by global fan support, the band swiftly earned major festival slots, including headlining the Festival Republic Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival and performing a secret set that attracted one of the largest crowds to date. They also performed at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, All Points East, and festivals across Europe and North America, alongside their own sold-out tours.

Between 2017 and 2018, the band’s second album, ‘Dare,’ climbed to number 12 on the UK album chart, sparking a sold-out tour in Australia and further sold-out shows across the UK and Europe. Notable achievements included selling out Brixton Academy three times, as well as Camden Roundhouse, Rock City, Manchester Apollo, and other prominent venues. In the US, they achieved success with multiple sold-out performances at iconic venues like The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Mercury Lounge, and Webster Hall in New York.

For their third album, ‘I’d Rather Die Than Let You In,’ THE HUNNA collaborated with renowned producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, Goldfinger, Twenty One Pilots, All Time Low) in Calabasas, working alongside artists such as Travis Barker (Blink-182), Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots), Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Phem, and others. The trio followed this in 2022 with their self-titled album ‘The Hunna,’ partnering with Grammy Award-winning producer Gil Norton. Adored by their loyal fanbase of nearly a decade, this album marked a significant new chapter for the band.

Now, in 2025, after a few years without new music, THE HUNNA return with renewed energy and their signature powerful sound. Stay tuned for more information soon.

Black Lodge Records Welcomes SARAYASIGN to the Family

Black Lodge Records is thrilled to announce that Swedish cinematic rock storytellers SARAYASIGN have officially joined the label's growing roster. The band has signed a deal with Black Lodge Records and is set to release their highly anticipated third full-length album, 'Shadows Of The Dying Light,' at the end of 2025.

SARAYASIGN returns with the hauntingly cinematic third chapter in their ongoing musical saga: 'Shadows Of The Dying Light.' This new release takes a bold leap into darker and more emotionally charged territory. Heavier, more intense, and more dynamic than ever before, the album preserves the band's signature cinematic rock sound while delving deeper into a brooding, atmospheric experience. Listeners will be immersed in thunderous riffs, sweeping soundscapes, and lush, evocative melodies—now shrouded beneath a darker sky.

The drums were recorded at the iconic Top Floor Studios in Gothenburg, powered by the explosive talent of Jakob Herrmann, the acclaimed drum producer known for his work with Devin Townsend, Evergrey, and others. Vocals were tracked at Popskolan in Stockholm, while guitars, bass, and keyboards were brought to life at Studio Sarayasound in Örebro, the band's creative stronghold.

To bring this monstrous new chapter to life with clarity and impact, mixing and mastering duties have been entrusted to none other than Jacob Hansen of Hansen Studios.

Based out of the state-of-the-art Hansen Studios in Denmark, Jacob Hansen has spent over two decades delivering world-class audio services. A cornerstone of modern heavy music production, Hansen has produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered countless renowned acts, including Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Volbeat, Katatonia, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Pretty Maids, Epica, Delain, Evergrey, and many more. His success stems from consistently delivering powerful, modern productions, making Hansen Studios a trusted one-stop shop for both established artists and emerging talent alike.

This chapter marks a turning point, the band shares:

"With 'Shadows Of The Dying Light,' we're embracing the darkness in both story and sound. It's more aggressive, more cinematic, and more emotionally intense yet still undeniably SARAYASIGN. The melodies remain, but the shadows have grown longer."

Brace yourself for a cinematic rock experience unlike any other.

'Shadows Of The Dying Light' — Coming Late 2025.

Swedish supergroup CROWNE is excited to share “Timing Is Right," the second single taken from their upcoming studio album 'Wonderland,' set for release on August 22, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

About the new single, Jona Tee stated:

"'Timing Is Right' is about keeping moving forward and rolling with the punches life throws at you."

Vocalist Alexander Strandell commented on the new record by saying:

“It feels incredible to share this third chapter with all of you. Working alongside the amazing team at Frontiers and my brothers Jona, Kicken, John, and Love has been an absolute honour. If you’re a fan of Art Nation, The Poodles, H.E.A.T., Dynazty, or Europe - this one’s for you."

Watch the Music Video for "Timing Is Right" Below

Swedish-based supergroup CROWNE are back with their highly anticipated third studio album, ‘Wonderland.’ Continuing their musical evolution, the band builds on their signature blend of melodic rock infused with powerful, metal-tinged soundscapes.

‘Wonderland’ delivers an unforgettable listening experience filled with epic atmospheres, anthemic choruses, and technical brilliance that showcase the band’s top-tier musicianship.

At the helm is Alexander Strandell, renowned for his soaring vocals with Art Nation, Lionville, and Nitrate. His impassioned delivery adds intensity and depth throughout the album. Guitarist Love Magnusson (Dynazty) provides electrifying riffs and solos, while Jona Tee (H.E.A.T) crafts lush keyboard textures that elevate the album’s cinematic feel. Legendary bassist John Leven (Europe) offers a thunderous low end, and drummer Christian Lundqvist (ex-The Poodles) drives each track with precision and force.

One of the standout moments on the record is “Warlords Of The North,” a powerful anthem featuring a songwriting contribution from Biff Byford, the iconic frontman of Saxon. This collaboration adds majesty and weight to an already monumental track.

With ‘Wonderland,’ CROWNE continues to push the boundaries of melodic heavy rock, delivering a collection of songs that are as emotionally compelling as they are technically impressive. It’s an essential release for fans of melodic metal and arena-ready anthems.

HIGH PARASITE - Featuring Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride - Releases New Single "Cold" + Music Video

Today, UK outfit HIGH PARASITE, led by Aaron Stainthorpe of My Dying Bride, unveil their brand-new single, “Cold.” Though previously unreleased, the track has become a staple of the band’s live set and arrives alongside a music video, available below.

Bassist/Vocalist Tombs comments on the single:

“'Cold' was lyrically inspired by Plato's analogy of the cave, an allegory used to illustrate the relationship between reality and illusion, the journey from ignorance to knowledge. The idea of a person realising too late in life that there is no God, no heaven, no hell, no divine retribution, no absolution, and the panic and anger they would feel when it dawns on them that they are truly alone and can only hold themselves responsible for their actions.”

Watch the Music Video for "Cold"

In addition, “Parasite,” taken from their debut studio album 'Forever We Burn,' has been newly remixed by acclaimed producer Lewis Johns (Employed To Serve, Earthtone9, Loathe). This updated version is now available on all major streaming platforms, having previously only been accessible via YouTube.

Listen to "Parasite (Vampiric Mix)" HERE

Produced by Gregor Mackintosh (Paradise Lost), 'Forever We Burn' was released on September 27th, 2024 via Spinefarm, supported by a series of singles and videos.

Having completed a successful UK tour with Cradle of Filth last year, and more recently a short stint with Unto Others, HIGH PARASITE play a one-off show with Cradle of Filth on July 6th at Epic Studios in Norwich; they then continue their run of European festivals, including first-ever appearances at the UK’s Bloodstock event in August and the Eindhoven Metal Meeting in December.

Additionally, High Parasite are confirmed to join Paradise Lost on their October 2025 UK tour,

Melodic Rockers GIANT Share New Single "It's Not Right" + Lyric Video

Today, melodic rockers GIANT are excited to share their new single, "It's Not Right," taken from their recently released album 'Stand And Deliver,' out now via Frontiers Music Srl. The new single comes accompanied by a lyric video, available to view below.

GIANT is entering a powerful new chapter in their storied career, featuring a fresh lineup that propels the band's signature sound to exhilarating new heights.

Drummer and founder David Huff expressed his excitement for the new album:

“Making GIANT records has always been our passion! Thanks to everyone at Frontiers, we can make our dreams happen. I know it’s a bit of a different lineup, but whoever is in the lineup, the legacy of GIANT lives on."

'Stand And Deliver' showcases once again the talents of David Huff on drums, Mike Brignardello on bass, Kent Hilli (of Perfect Plan) as the commanding lead vocalist, with the addition of Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire) on guitars. Westerlund also takes on mixing duties alongside Alessandro Del Vecchio, who adds his touch on keyboards as a featured guest.

Watch the Lyric Video for “It's Not Right"

As if this dynamic combination of talent was not enough, the album also includes some gems penned by the original guitarist and singer Dann Huff including “Time To Call It Love” (a collaboration with the late Mark Spiro), “Holdin’ On For Dear Life” and “Paradise Found”, coming both from his sessions with Van Stephenson, which strongly link the new album with the sound of the classic album 'Time To Burn'.

However, with this new album, GIANT delivers the hard-hitting rock and melodic hooks that fans have come to expect while pushing the boundaries of the genre with a state-of-the-art production. 

Order 'Stand And Deliver' HERE

Originally formed in the late '80s by brothers Dann and David Huff, together with the experienced jazz and rock keyboardist Alan Pasqua and Nashville session bass player Mike Brignardello, GIANT would soon become one of the most respected bands of the melodic hard rock scene, with the release of their debut album 'Last Of The Runaways' (A&M Records, 1989).

Following countless live performances in support of their debut, the band released the follow-up 'Time To Burn' (Epic, 1991), an album still regarded as a main source of influence for many melodic and hard rock bands who came after. With the sudden change of musical climate in the early '90s, GIANT disbanded with their members becoming involved in different projects, with both Dann and David Huff becoming well respected producers.

In 2001, Frontiers prompted GIANT to release 'III', an album that would prove to be a landmark in the growth of the new era Melodic Rock scene, particularly in Europe. Unfortunately, Dann's busy schedule along with the other members' commitments made the reunion impossible to carry on as had originally been planned; however, the vision of bringing GIANT back as a band with a recording and touring line-up was something that the band was still open to exploring, even if Dann had to step away.

Thus, original members, drummer David Huff and bassist Mike Brignardello, with the blessing of Dann started endless research for the right musicians that could be part of a renewed GIANT line-up. In the end, the choice fell on vocalist Terry Brock (ex-Strangeways) and guitarist John Roth (Winger, Starship).

The resulting album, 'Promise Land' soon became a fan favorite, showcasing top quality songwriting and performances. GIANT, however, went into hibernation again, with the exception of a one-off show in 2017, where the original band members reunited on a Nashville club stage for a charity event.

That event piqued fan interest and Frontiers and David Huff started talking again to see if they could manage to find the right formula for a new album from GIANT. When the Swedish bandPerfect Plan released a cover version of the GIANT’s original hit “Stay” in 2019, all the pieces of the puzzle started to fall into place.

Huff and Brignardello were keen on the idea of Kent handling lead vocals for the next GIANTrelease. Dann Huff gave his seal of approval, appearing on lead guitar on the single “Never Die Young”, which anticipated the successful release in 2022 of the 'Shifting Time' album.

GIANT are:

Kent Hilli - Lead Vocals

Jimmy Westerlund - Lead Guitar

Mike Brignardello - Bass

British Melodic Rock Legends FM Announce New Album 'Brotherhood' Out September 5, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl

Today, British melodic rock legends FM are proud to announce the release of their 15th studio album, 'Brotherhood,' due out September 5, 2025 via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announce, FM has released the lead single "Living On The Run" alongside a music video, available to view below.

Once again delivering their signature blend of hook-laden AOR and blues-tinged hard rock on'Brotherhood,' FM reaffirms their status as masters of the genre.

Vocalist/Guitarist Steve Overland shares on the new single:

“First single, 'Living On The Run,' is a great hard-hitting melodic fast-moving track. The song is about what the title suggests, a real Bonnie and Clyde storyline. A very instant big chorus, which makes for a good first single choice.”

Overland comments on the new album:

“I am proud of the new album. It is one of our strongest song albums to date. It is another milestone, as it’s FM’s 15th album. It’s very well paced and has great variation in song styles throughout. The album’s big ballad, 'Just Walk Away,' is one of our best. I hope our fans feel the same way as we do about 'Brotherhood.'”

Watch the Lyric Video for "Living On The Run"

‘Brotherhood’ showcases a band still at the top of their game, with highlights including the infectious anthem "Living on the Run," the unforgettable anthemic rocker “Don’t Call It Love,” the punchy and powerful "Coming For You," and the emotionally charged "Time Waits For No One" – all tracks that echo the spirit and melodic strength of FM’s early classics yet are unmistakably fresh and vibrant.

The opening track, "Do You Mean It," brings a bluesy, soulful vibe that echoes the Doobie Brothers’ classic “Takin’ It To The Streets” sound, setting the tone for the album. 'Brotherhood' also features one of FM’s most powerful ballads to date, "Just Walk Away" – a beautifully emotional song that highlights the band's mastery of melodic rock. Wrapping up the album is "The Enemy Within," a track that introduces exciting new sonic ideas while retaining the powerful and melodic qualities FM fans love.

Supporting vocals from a female guest choir add warmth and dynamic depth to "Do You Mean It" and "Just Walk Away," perfectly complementing Steve Overland’s consistently exceptional lead vocals.

LOVE IS NOISE Releases Two Brand-New Tracks “Hole In Me” And “All Eyes Shut” — Out Now via Century Media

Following widespread acclaim for their February 2025 debut album 'To Live in a Different Way' released via Century Media Records, UK powerhouse LOVE IS NOISE returns with new music much sooner than fans might have expected. The band is dropping two brand-new tracks, “Hole In Me” and “All Eyes Shut,” along with an electrifying new music video for the lead single “Hole In Me,” available below.

Alongside the dual single release, LOVE IS NOISE is also unveiling what might be their strongest music video to date and officially introducing a new chapter in the band’s evolution. The updated lineup now includes Sam Clark (Bass), Alex Ioannou (Guitar), and Joe Pink(Drums), joining founding vocalist Cameron Humphrey to form the newly solidified quintet.

Cam shares about the new line-up:

“It’s an absolute pleasure to welcome Sam, Joe and Alex into the fold. They’ve been touring with LOVE IS NOISE over the past year and the chemistry we had between us all was unmatched. This made the decision to offer them full time roles very easy. We’re brothers and I can’t wait to tour the world over and over with them.”

He adds about the new singles:

“'Hole In Me' begins a new chapter in the life of LOVE IS NOISE. 1 becomes 4. This song is heartbreak at its finest, accompanied by the heaviest instrumentation from ourselves to date. This is the future! On the other hand, 'All Eyes Shut,' alongside a guitar solo from our friend Erik, leans more into our alternative rock influences. This song sounds like if 'Everlong' era Foo Fighters was created today. To us, this is a perfect combo and a great addition alongside 'Hole In Me.'”

Watch the Music Video for "Hole In Me" Below

Watch the Visualizer for "All Eyes Shut" HERE

LOVE IS NOISE began its journey in 2021 as a collaboration between Humphrey and former guitarist Tom Mellon (who recently left the band to explore other musical endeavours) balancing the ethereal and intense. While sonic signposts include modern-day shoegaze as well as the likes of Glassjaw and Deftones, the band’s 2022 EP, 'Euphoria, Where Were You?' (released on FEVER 333 frontman Jason Aalon Butler’s 333 WRECKORDS CREW) pointed towards a soul-crushing sonic heartache all their own.

A string of singles led to the band inking with Century Media and beginning work on their debut album. LOVE IS NOISE released the first taste of new music with the acclaimed singles“Soft Glow,” “Jawbreaker” “To live in a different way, “take.one.minute,” and “It Hurts To Know You're There,” which appeared on numerous playlists across the streaming platforms and were featured on BBC Radio One, Kerrang! Radio and Total Rock. The band’s Century Media debut, ‘To live in a different way,’ straddles the roughshod riffing and volume of their DIY origins while embracing shoegaze-facing melodiousness, hints of Brit-pop, and a beating (and bleeding) heart erupting from Cam Humphrey’s plaintive vocals. Co-produced by the band with engineer Kel Pinchin and mixed by John Markson (Drug Church, Drain, The Story So Far), ‘To live in a different way’ is a startling debut album.

DIY Punk Rock Band KEDDIES RESORT Unleashes New Single "Fireworks" + Premiere Music Video on Punk News

Today, Portland’s punk rock outfit KEDDIES RESORT is excited to unleash their new single "Fireworks," taken from their upcoming album, 'American Spirit,' out on July 4th via Sweatband Records. Raucous, unfiltered, and bursting with raw energy, “Fireworks” finds KEDDIES RESORT in full ignition mode.

The music video for "Fireworks" is premiering with Punk News

Leaning into their scrappy DIY roots, the band blends jagged punk rhythms with razor-sharp power pop sensibilities, delivering a track that crackles with urgency. Fueled by overdriven guitars and an acerbic vocal bite, “Fireworks” erupts as both a fiery personal outburst and a sardonic snapshot of modern chaos — a noisy, hook-laced detonation set against the backdrop of their signature lo-fi grit.

Keddie Smith comments on the new single:

"This song sums up the concept character's narcissistic view of himself and the world around him. It marks a celebration and turning point in the story, a sick daydream coming to life."

Watch the Music Video Premiere for "Fireworks" Below:

KEDDIES RESORT is a three-piece explosion with a catalogue consisting of 4 EPs and 4 LPs titled 'Makita', 'KYST', 'A Killer Goodbye,' and most recently, 'American Spirit.'

Since their first show on April 2nd of 2022, they’ve quickly climbed the ranks in the Portland music scene, gaining popularity and solidifying a strong fan base. This power trio punches above its weight, with a striking mix of Alt-rock, punk, and harmonic pop sensibilities.

Their stage antics have gained the band major notoriety in the all-ages scene, landing them the title “Portland's most infamous band.” When they’re not inducing indoor crowd tornadoes, you can find them playing generator shows under bridges and in the basements and garages that have served as the backbone of underground youth culture in Portland for years.

Their upcoming album, 'American Spirit,' delivers sweet, fuzzed-out power pop packed with infectious hooks and raw energy. KEDDIES RESORT captures the spirit of Portland’s youth and counter culture with a sound as vibrant and unfiltered as it is unforgettable — a blast of pure DIY exhilaration on wax.
