Frontman Felix Stass explains:
"'Born' is about feeling out of place in your own time and world. It’s for everyone who has ever felt they don’t belong - yet keeps standing."

Formed in 1991 in Mannheim, Germany, CREMATORY have become one of the most enduring and influential acts in European gothic metal. Over more than three decades, the band evolved from their early death metal roots into a distinctive style combining heavy riffs, melodic keyboards, industrial textures, and contrasting vocal approaches.

Throughout their career, CREMATORY have explored themes of life, pain, introspection, and atmosphere, often blending deep growls with clean vocals to create a sound both powerful and haunting. Their growth in the 1990s brought them recognition across Europe through relentless touring and festival appearances.

The upcoming Greatest Hits album reflects the band’s bilingual legacy. English Hymns & Deutsche Hymnen gathers key tracks from across their catalogue in both languages and also includes the band’s earliest demo recordings, offering fans a comprehensive retrospective of CREMATORY’s long and influential journey.

In support of the release, the band will embark on an extensive European run throughout 2026.

With 35 years of history, countless tours, and a legacy that helped shape European gothic, death and industrial metal, Greatest Hits stands as both a celebration of CREMATORY’s past and a powerful reminder that the band remains as vital as ever!

Evil Island Sign to Blowed Out Records & Announce Release Date For Debut Single "Tiger Baby"

Evil Island have announced their signing to Blowed Out Records today along with the news that their debut single, "Tiger Baby," will be officially released on DSPs with a full music video on April 15th and also as a limited edition 7” vinyl pressing of 300 copies, all hand signed by the band, that will feature a second single only available physically for now. Pre-orders for the “Tiger Baby” 7” vinyl are available now from evilisland.lnk.to/tigerbaby Fans can check out a 15s teaser clip of "Tiger Baby" below.

.

Evil Island brings together Johnny Whitney (vocals), Cody Votolato (guitar/vocals), and Mark Gajadhar (drums) of Seattle post-hardcore band The Blood Brothers alongside bassist Autry Fulbright of OFF! and ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead. Four musicians converging around new material, recorded with producer Ross Robinson over five months to create an album that surpassed all their expectations. 

Providing further context on how the project came together, Cody Votolato shares

"Ross Robinson came to my surprise birthday party last May 2025. I mentioned Evil Island and he instantly said 'Fuck yes, let's make a record.' By October we were in the studio and signed to Blowed Out Records. Now on April 15th, 2026 we are releasing our first single Tiger Baby with a limited press of 300 copies on 7". It will include our second single that you can only hear early on the 7" at first. We are super proud of it and it's now available for preorder!"

That Robinson - the producer behind Korn's debut, Slipknot's Iowa, At The Drive-In's Relationship of Command, and The Blood Brothers' own Burn Piano Island, Burn - heard two demos at a birthday party and cleared five months of his calendar says everything that needs to be said about what Evil Island brought into that room.

Adding further context to the Evil Island origin story, Ross Robinson shares

"This is a record I've wanted to make for way too long, ever since signing and producing The Blood Brothers 'Burn Piano Island, Burn' .. I feel Evil Island is the coolest fucking band on earth and dare anyone to step up to the unleashing fire these guys throw down- they're the king of kings .. I can't believe we got to make this thing, it's an artistic/emotionally violent dream come true for me!"

“Tiger Baby” is just the beginning. More coming from Evil Island very soon.

About Evil Island

Evil Island is Johnny Whitney (vocals), Cody Votolato (guitar/vocals), and Mark Gajadhar (drums) - three fifths of Seattle post-hardcore band The Blood Brothers - alongside bassist Autry Fulbright, a veteran of OFF! and ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.

Their debut single "Tiger Baby" is the first taste of five months in the studio with legendary producer Ross Robinson. What came out of that room is funky, catchy, chaotic, and completely unhinged in the best possible way. It sounds like nothing these four people have made before but also like it could only be made by them.

Pre-orders for "Tiger Baby" are available now on limited edition 7-inch vinyl, pressed to 300 copies, each hand signed by the band with an exclusive B-side that will only be available on the 7 inch, at least for now. The single and music video arrive on streaming platforms April 15th via Blowed Out Records.

Stoned Jesus Release New Video for “See You on The Road”

After 17 years of trailblazing, Stoned Jesus are still reaching new creative peaks. Last year, the heavy progressive rockers embarked on an expansive three-album journey that will take them from the sun to the moon and back. Songs to Sun, the trilogy’s mind-melting opener, was named one of the best albums of 2025 by Doom Charts, Rock Hard, The Obelisk, Weedian, Metal Lair and other publications. While the second album is fast approaching on the horizon, the trio are now firing up the engine with their latest road-burning anthem ahead of a co-headlining European tour with Wheel.

Today, Stoned Jesus are releasing a new video for “See You On The Road”. While the song reflects the wear and tear of life on tour, the accompanying footage from the band’s recent treks across Australia and South America is the perfect place for the song’s headbanging riffs and shout-along chorus.    

“‘See You On The Road’ is a hymn to playing shows’”, frontman Igor Sydorenko says. While the song’s title is common parlance among touring musicians, Stoned Jesus are still guided by a burning need for innovation. “The jumpy main riff is as Soundgarden as it gets, while the closing chants are perfect for stoking a huge crowd”.

Watch the music video for “See You On The Road” below:

Songs to Sun is out now on Season of Mist.

Songs to Sun is the first album in a forthcoming trilogy that once complete, will stand as the pinnacle of what's been a decades-long trip for Stoned Jesus. While picking up where Father Light left off, Sydorenko and his new mates still nod to Seven Thunders Roar and The Harvest along the way. But by merging metal's fiery intensity with mind-melting grooves, vintage prog and their catchiest choruses yet, they bring the many distinct phases of Stoned Jesus to a bright, burning head.

Rainy Park Release Debut Single “Dumb” - Out Now

"Dumb" tells the story of falling for someone you knew you shouldn’t trust from the start. Warning signs appear early, but hope and attraction blur your judgment. What begins as excitement slowly turns into attachment, and eventually into pain. - RAINY PARK

Emerging rock band RAINY PARK are making a statement with the release of their brand new single “Dumb,” a track that blends gritty honesty with powerful modern rock energy. The song delivers a relatable and unapologetic look at the moments in life when emotions, mistakes, and self-reflection collide.

With “Dumb,” RAINY PARK taps into the frustration and vulnerability that come from recognizing the choices we sometimes make when emotions take over. The track captures that universal feeling of looking back on a moment and realizing you might have known better, but did it anyway.

Driven by punchy guitar riffs, a tight rhythm section, and emotionally charged vocals, “Dumb”balances attitude with authenticity. The song builds from reflective verses into a powerful chorus that hits with both energy and honesty, showcasing the band’s ability to combine raw storytelling with emo dynamics.

RAINY PARK is an alternative rock trio from the South Side of Chicago delivering emotionally charged songs, driving guitars, and a brutal level of honesty. Born from years in the underground touring circuit, the band blends raw vulnerability with high-energy intensity, creating a sound that feels both cathartic and anthemic.

The B.O.S. Release" Video for New Single SCISSORS" From "Vol. 2" Album

Next Gen Classic Rock Band THE B.O.S. have shared the video for their addictive new single "SCISSORS." It features another tasty riff written by band founder Tom Neely. The song was produced and engineered by Neil Citron.

"SCISSORS" will have fans of slasher movies, will be thoroughly satisfied.

Watch the video below.

SCISSORS" is the second single from the band's upcoming album Volume 2.

This latest single takes a different turn from the band's first single "ICE CREAM CONE," which was more of a playful blues rock song about a girl's new crush. "SCISSORS," however, is about a Trad-Con's vengeance on a couple of L.A players, one being a weightlifter, and the other being a filmmaker who played with her just a little too hard, turning her into the village 304. Many fans will recognize the song as a cross between punk and old school hard rock, with all of the elements of classic B.O.S tones found in many of their writings.

"SCISSORS is now streaming and available for download on all platforms.

The B.O.S., comprised of Tom Neely (guitars), Adi Argelazi (lead vocals), Dylan Wilson (bass), Matt Lesser (drums), and Dave Schulz (keys), has been rocking out since 2002. Fun fact: Wilson and Lesser make up the rhythm section of  Richie Kotzen's band. Schulz also has an impressive resume, as the original keyboardist for Goo Goo Dolls and who has also performed with Wang Chung, Berlin, and more.

 The B.O.S are a hard rock band that draws deep inspiration from the golden age of '70s hard rock, particularly the powerful and unforgettable riff-driven sound that defined the era. The band's output is marked by heavy, groovy riffs, and a raw, soulful intensity that fans of vintage rock will instantly recognize and appreciate. The band boasts an all-star lineup of seasoned musicians, each bringing their exceptional talents and years of experience to the mix. Their performances are a blend of technical and emotional depth, with each member contributing to the collective energy that drives the band's signature style.

There ain't nothing AI about The B.O.S.

APOSTLE Release New Single and Video "Distortions of Light"

"Distortions of Light" is the new single and video to arrive from ATLANTA, GA metal trio APOSTLE. With a sound designed to encourage emotional connection and catharsis, APOSTLE entwine elements from grindcore and hardcore, post-black metal, shoegaze and post-rock. The band's upcoming full-length album A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, is set for release on June 5, 2026 via Terminus Hate City. 

"Distortions of Light" begins with a recording of E.E. Cummings offering advice to students and aspiring writers. As he states,  “…but the moment you feel, you are nobody but yourself”, it is here that APOSTLE's sonic expression takes charge. 

The musical arrangement is intended to evoke a sense of unease, "the listener is cast without reason into a world of darkness and confusion, the song lurches forward through a barren wasteland of murky and ominous melodies" the band explain. Melodies "beckon the listener like a will-o’-the-wisp to follow down some unseen path to discover what lies beyond the distortions of light."

The imagery and metaphor of the narrative, as envisioned by APOSTLE, is rooted in the concept of reality being represented by a giant diamond suspended in the sky. Upon breaking, and the splinters falling to earth, it is a distorted version of reality that is revealed in the fragments on the ground. 

The album title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, grief, and self-examination. Across six tracks and 27 minutes, the band move through themes of loss, mortality, internal conflict, and eventual healing. The record serves as both a meditation on the human condition and a deeply personal tribute shaped by grief and remembrance.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Connor Ray at Sobek Sound and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE in their most refined and expansive form.

Pre-order A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon here: https://www.terminushatecity.com/product-page/preorder-apostle-a-splinter-in-the-infinite-noumenon-lp

Their latest album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, represents the band’s most fully realized work to date. Drawing from existential philosophy and deeply personal experiences with grief and remembrance, the record explores humanity’s connection to something greater while acknowledging the struggle inherent in being human. Across its runtime, APOSTLE seek connection through shared emotional experience, transforming personal suffering into collective release.

APOSTLE is:

Murice White – vocals, guitar
Michael Thomas – bass, vocals
Evan Price – drums

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. RELEASES NEW SINGLE 'PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK’

Breakout hardcore wrecking crew BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have returned with a brutal new single, ‘PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK,’ out now via Nuclear Blast Records.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.’s eagerly awaited follow-up to late 2025’s pit anthem “BACK WHEEL STOMP,” is the sound of pure mayhem; a runaway freightliner as it barrels through earholes on a path of sonic destruction.

Commenting on the track the band says:

“We’re super stoked for this track! This idea had been in the tank for a while and we were all very excited to finally bring it to fruition. The KILLDOZER is a legendary vehicle/event and id like to think we did it justice in showing how maniacal that whole situation was/is. We’re hoping this track can resonate with anyone else who feels life is just punching down on you everyday.”

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. is currently en route through Europe delivering their ferocious music to the masses with BODYSNATCHER and PSYCHO FRAME.

About BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.:

Born in the Inland Empire. Fueled by diesel and bad decisions.

2000 horsepower breakdowns. 12-ton riffs. Anyone in the way catches the back wheel stomp.

Not a band. A wrecking crew on bald tires.

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. isn’t here to partake in hardcore. It’s here to run it over, back it up, and run it over again.

Big riffs. Big energy. BIG ASS TRUCK.

SABATON RELEASE BATTLE-READY NEW SINGLE + MUSIC VIDEO "YAMATO" IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WORLD OF WARSHIPS

Making another major move and breaking down walls once again, the Swedish masters of heavy metal Sabaton have joined forces with leading historically accurate naval multiplayer game, World of Warships, and released a brand new single and music video entitled "Yamato" — available in-game and on all DSPs now. It is being released by BETTER NOISE MUSIC on the heels of 2025'sLEGENDS, which marked Sabaton's first album for the label. "Crossing The Rubicon" (Feat. Nothing More) from the album was also the band's first-ever Top 10 single on the Billboard Rock Chart.

This song notably marks the second World of Warships collaboration between the band and developer Wargaming following the mega-popular "Bismarck."  For the first time, a Sabaton-branded Yamato is also available in World of Warships in addition to dialogue by vocalist Joakim Brodén and bassist Pär Sundström. Along with different bespoke items in game, Joakim Brodén can take the helm of the ship while the standard battle soundtrack replaced by “Yamato” or “Bismarck”, transforming every engagement into an epic metal experience.

Watch the official video Below.

Stream "YAMATO" HERE.

As history will tell you, "Yamato" was the name of a massive Japanese battleship constructed in-secret and unveiled during 1941 as the most dominant vessel of its kind. Designed to win at naval warfare, it represented the ultimate floating symbol of strength. In 1945, it famously hit the high seas on a suicide mission to defend Okinawa. Despite ceaseless fire from aircraft above and an opposing fleet of a far greater number on the water, the "Yamato" and its crew never gave up. Instead, they literally battled until the bitter end when a huge explosion rendered a deathblow to the ship. It sank in a blaze of glory…

As part of the alliance with World of Warships and Wargaming, the band filmed the accompanying music video in Belgrade, Serbia last October. Quite fittingly, it depicts Sabaton aboard the titular ship during its last stand, descending into the unforgiving ocean as the band hangs on for dear life. Waves consume the deck, but each member keeps playing his instrument even as the chaos swallows the guys up one-by-one.

Testing their mettle in real-life, the musicians faced brutally frigid temperatures, weathering a continuous blast of ice-cold water for the duration of the shoot. The band remained submerged in freezing waters with the help of ventilators. Pushing it to the max, the guys even wore weights beneath their stage clothes to truly evoke the sensation of sinking. Maintaining the highest level of safety protocol, professional divers assisted Sabaton throughout.

ATAVISTIA Present New Single “Seeker of Time", Ahead of The Upcoming Album Old Gods Awaken

ATAVISTIA embrace an adventurous spirit in the magical new single "Seeker of Time". Accompanied with a lyric video this is the latest offering to land ahead of the forthcoming album Old Gods Awaken, set for release on May 15th, 2026 via Blood Blast Distribution.

Leaning further into folk metal realms, ATAVISTIA's new compositions delve into an array of folk tales and fantasy-led themes. “'Seeker of Time' is our first song to not be written in the 1st person perspective". The band reveal. "It tells the story of a sorcerer’s pursuit of time."

Musically, this track delivers a shorter and sharper impact driven primarily by a riff-focused structure. It's powerful and explosive while remaining characterful as ATAVISTIA seamlessly blend folk metal with a blackened edge. The narrative behind "Seeker of Time" is aptly portrayed through the instrumental arrangements, along with the wider themes of Old Gods Awaken, to ensure the effect is one that is fully immersive. 

"Seeker of Time" follows the celebratory mood of their first single "Mystic Tavern", presenting fans with a further glimpse into the alluring world of Old Gods Awaken.

Due out May 15th, 2026, Old Gods Awaken runs 43 minutes and 21 seconds and represents the uplifting first chapter of a two album concept. Incorporating Swedish and Finnish lyrics for the first time in the band’s catalog, the album draws from Nordic heritage and mythic atmosphere while delivering some of ATAVISTIA’s most memorable hooks to date. From tavern revelry to forest mysticism and epic progressive climaxes, the record marks a confident evolution in their sound.

With “Mystic Tavern” and "Seeker of Time" now unleashed, ATAVISTIA invite listeners to step inside, raise a horn, and prepare for the awakening.

ATAVISTIA lineup:

Mattias Sippola - Guitar, Vocals, Composition, Production
Max Sepulveda - Drums, Engineering

Wes Parker Releases New Single And Official Visualizer "Bad Doggie" via Big Machine Rock

Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, rising alt-rock artist Wes Parker has delighted fans with his new single, "Bad Doggie" and the accompanying visualizer, the first release since his 2025 EP 'fantom' (via Big Machine Rock). Built around an easy-rolling groove and catchy, distorted guitar hooks, "Bad Doggie" showcases Parker's innate knack for blending indie rock attitude with a clever yet mischievous streak of humor. When asked about the inspiration behind the track, Parker shared:

"'Bad Doggie' is an upbeat tune about what it feels like to be someone’s… bad doggie! About someone knowing your unruly, troublemaking nature will never change and loving you anyway, forever.”

Stream "Bad Doggie" here, and watch the official visualizer below.

Following the release of "Bad Doggie", Parker will soon bring the track's guitar-driven energy on the road across the US starting next week, launching a tour with singer-songwriter Liz Cooper on Wednesday, March 18. Shortly thereafter, he'll begin his headlining tour in April, followed by a run alongside indie-folk juggernaut Shakey Graves in June.

About Wes Parker

For Wes Parker, sounds interlock like puzzle pieces. A ruddy guitar riff might click next to a broken piano melody, or a hauntingly angelic vocal could mesh just right with an off-kilter chord progression and D.I.Y. beat. All of these elements fit together in order to paint the personal portrait depicted in his music. It’s almost like he’s a mad scientist in his home studio, architecting poetically primal alternative rock that could’ve appeared in the MTV Buzz Bin back in the day or would make for a fiery sunset set at Coachella. The Richmond native grew up as the youngest of four kids with two older brothers and a sister. Mom bought a copy of Green Day’s American Idiot from PACSUN for him, and it proved life-changing. He honed his skills as a songwriter and producer and also devoured classics from the likes of Muse, Radiohead, and more. He dropped out of college after one semester and co-founded the band Camp Howard alongside a cohort of childhood friends. The band saw some success on DSPs and the road, touring with everyone from Stone Temple Pilots to Backseat Lovers. Though the group eventually parted ways, Wes continued to write and record on his own. After quitting a day job, he dropped his first solo single “Why Won't You Pick Up The Phone?” in February 2024 followed by “Annie Moore” and “Tattoo.” Gaining momentum, he ignited 2025 with the Splinter EP applauded by VPM and more. Signing to Big Machine Rock in 2025, he emerges as just the alchemist rock music needs with his fantom EP, presenting an arresting perspective on the devil’s downfall over a cinematic soundscape threaded together by eerie piano, glitchy beats, off-kilter guitar, and transfixing vocal transmissions.

CELESTIAL DEATH Unleash New Single “Seed Corrupted"

Rooted in dystopian themes and extreme, yet melodic black metal ferocity, “Seed Corrupted” introduces listeners to the opening chapter of CELESTIAL DEATH’s larger conceptual narrative that explores corruption, power, and the cyclical nature of destruction and rebirth.

Musically, “Seed Corrupted” merges modern melodic black metal with dark, post-metal atmosphere. A distorted lead melody establishes a dissonant tone before erupting into thunderous percussion and obliterating vocal delivery. The arrangement shifts between relentless high-speed aggression and slower, oppressive passages, creating a dynamic soundscape that mirrors the tension within the song’s narrative.

While the track stands on its own as a powerful single, it also serves as an entry point into a much larger conceptual story that CELESTIAL DEATH’s founding guitarist and vocalist, Forrest Jessup, has been developing for years. At its core, “Seed Corrupted” presents a conversation between two figures navigating morality, power, and survival in a corrupted world.

Part of the narrative draws inspiration from the mythology surrounding Al Capone, who famously spent time imprisoned in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary - located only two miles from where Jessup grew up. Within the story, Capone appears as a mentor figure speaking to an unnamed protégé about the realities of power, violence, and the moral compromises required to survive within ruthless systems.

The title “Seed Corrupted” acts as a metaphor for how corruption rarely begins with a single act of evil, but instead grows from the environments people are forced to navigate. In harsh societal conditions - particularly in impoverished urban environments shaped by systemic oppression - organized crime often becomes less a matter of choice and more a mechanism of survival. Within the narrative, the mentor figure reflects on his rise to power while acknowledging both the brutality and the intoxicating nature of chaos itself.

One of the song’s central lines captures this duality:

“We planted this seed, corrupted this society, enchanted by our anarchy.”

While figures like Capone are condemned by society, they are also mythologized and romanticized in cultural memory - often framed through outlaw folklore that blurs the line between villain and antihero.

Growing up in Atlanta heavily influenced the themes behind the track. The city’s cultural identity - built on resilience, struggle, and an uncompromising survival mentality - shaped Jessup’s perspective and writing. Atlanta has long been a place where artists and communities have fought to build something from nothing, embodying a spirit often summarized as “got it out the mud.” That mindset of relentless survival and self-determination echoes throughout the worldview of the characters within CELESTIAL DEATH’s unfolding story.

The artwork for “Seed Corrupted,” created by Jim Bob Cooter Jr. (who did the band’s debut single, "Anti-Preacher"), visually reinforces these themes. The illustration depicts a decaying urban skyline and fractured cityscape amidst a bleak natural environment, in the center of which is a body of water, and dying tree of life… Above the surface lies the decay, symbolizing a society already consumed by corruption. The inverted reflection in the pool, however, reveals a thriving city of prosperity and abundant tree of life. The imagery suggests that corruption has already taken root in the present world, while the reflection represents either a forgotten past or a possible future that humanity has lost - or may one day reclaim.

“Seed Corrupted” serves as the first glimpse into the broader conceptual world of CELESTIAL DEATH - a narrative built around cycles of corruption, collapse, and rebirth. Much like the ancient symbol of the ouroboros, the story exists within a continuous loop where endings become beginnings and fallen systems inevitably reform themselves. This philosophy also mirrors the band’s deeper artistic identity and the ethos behind Terminus Hate City itself: the understanding that decay and creation are inseparable forces. Like the phoenix rising from ash, destruction becomes the catalyst for transformation, and new life inevitably grows from the ruins of the old.

SCHATTENMANN Release New Studio Album “Endgegner” Out Now Via PERCEPTION.

German metal act SCHATTENMANN have released their brand-new studio offering, entitled Endgegner, today via PERCEPTION. At the same time, the band has started their album release tour, bringing the new material to stages across Germany and Austria.

With Endgegner, SCHATTENMANN lean into a heavier and more metaldriven sound. International press reactions have been strong. Devolution Magazine notes that the record shows “the industrial metallers at their most focused,” adding: “You’ll bang your head, you’ll sing along and you’ll groove like nobody’s watching. It’s a fun-fuelled romp well-worth your time.”

FFM Rock writes: “The album convinces across the board, the sound is fat and pumps pure energy, so it gets 8 out of 10 points here.” Powerplay Magazine UK goes even further, awarding 9/10 and stating that a “Future classic album status [is] guaranteed!” while Metalhead.it sums it up perfectly: "An album that stings, that cuts, that annihilates, that captivates. A sinful album that creates a wonderful addiction!"

To coincide with the album’s arrival, today SCHATTENMANN have also unveiled an official music video for the track “Wir sind das Ende der Welt”, watch below:

Frontman Frank Herzig says about the track: 
"The song is an explosive declaration of love on the edge of the apocalypse - wild, unrestrained and uncompromising. Although it begins almost like a ballad, it unfolds into a modern metal track with metalcore elements. Far removed from kitsch and clichés, it tells the story of two people who break every boundary, summon storms and stubbornly give the world the middle finger. A hurricane of passion, chaos and raw intensity that sets everything on fire.”

Endgegner sets the tone for a new chapter in the musical journey of SCHATTENMANN, presenting themselves sharper and more focused than ever. Produced by Henning Verlage, the album represents a clear cut and a deliberate evolution of the band’s sound.

Following four studio albums and their first Top 10 chart entry with Día de Muertos, SCHATTENMANN continue to prove that change and progression remain at the core of their identity. Heavier, more aggressive, and unapologetically metal, Endgegner sees the band reborn in steel and fire, poised to claim their place in today’s heavy music landscape!

Without A Face Announce Papercut Recordings Signing With New Double Single “Needful Things” & "Resurfacing (feat. Jacob Mathes of Orphan)"

Toronto musician and producer Kevin Rolly today introduces the next chapter of his unbridled deathcore powerhouse Without A Face with the release of “Needful Things,” a new double single out now alongside the official announcement of the project’s signing to Papercut Recordings. Listen to the double single HERE and find the YouTube visualizer BELOW.

The double single release features tracks "Needful Things" and "Resurfacing" (featuing Jacob Mathes of Orphan). Written and performed by Rolly, Without A Face channels unbridled aggression, pressure, frustration and catharsis into something visceral. The goal is simple, the music should provoke a reaction. Whether that response is discomfort, rage or recognition, indifference has no place in the equation.

The project first began gaining attention with the release of the EP Rat Poison, a short, apoplectic and explosive introduction that quickly found an audience within the modern deathcore community. The release earned strong support from platforms including Slam Worldwide and The Brutality Podcast, whose listeners helped amplify the project and ultimately recognized Rat Poison in the outlet’s year-end awards with a nomination for 'New Deathcore Band of the Year'.

That early momentum helped push Without A Face past 930,000 Spotify streams, 125,000 Apple Music streams and more than 340,000 YouTube views, establishing the project as one of the most promising new names emerging from the underground extreme music space.

“Needful Things” now serves as the first release of a new era for Without A Face and the first under the Papercut banner.

Without A Face emerged after years of Rolly working professionally in music through production, engineering and underground rap. Although the work built experience and connections, he eventually felt pulled back toward the kind of heavy music that first shaped him. Records that felt volatile, visceral and impossible to ignore. Without A Face became the vehicle for returning to that space with intent.

The aggression that defines the music is grounded in real stakes. A neck injury in recent years, combined with ongoing hearing issues, left Rolly needing an outlet for his rage and frustration. Those searing emotions sit at the core of Without A Face, fueling the project’s unflinching intensity.

With “Needful Things” now released and the partnership with Papercut Recordings in place, Without A Face enters its next phase with momentum already building and more music expected to follow.

ABOUT WITHOUT A FACE

Without A Face is the solo project of Toronto musician and producer Kevin Rolly, created as an outlet for heavy music that carries real emotional weight. After years working professionally in music through production, engineering and underground rap, he returned to the extreme music that first shaped him, creating a project built on catharsis, urgency and impact.

Written and performed by Rolly, Without A Face turns lived experience, frustration and creative pressure into music designed to provoke a real emotional response.

Since launching the project, Without A Face has amassed over 1 million cross platform streams, and more than 340,000 views on YouTube, with early support from platforms including Slam Worldwide and The Brutality Podcast helping introduce the project to a rapidly growing heavy music audience.

Without A Face announced their signing to Papercut Recordings in March of 2026 with the release of double single "Needful Things" and the threat of more new music on the horizon.

SÉANCE OF SORROW UNVEIL 'FORSAKEN': A MELODIC DESCENT INTO THE SHADOWS OF TRAUMA

Born from the wreckage of a brutal crime, SÉANCE OF SORROW bridges the gap between the earthly and the ethereal.

While the band’s debut releases chronicled the downfall and death of Michael Morrison, their new chapter shifts from introduction to immersion. Through a series of "visions," Michael is forced to inhabit the memories of those linked to his demise. In this psychological chessboard, nothing is as it seems. Michael must relive pivotal traumas from both the perspective of the victim and the aggressor, experiencing the rage and irreversible consequences of each act to uncover the truth.

The new single, 'Forsaken,' serves as the first step into this haunting trek. A melodic, somber ballad, the track pairs a ghostly instrumental backdrop with raw, emotive vocals. It is the most unsettling entry in the saga to date, unflinchingly addressing the psychological fracture caused by sexual violence and trauma. Eschewing glorification, "Forsaken" presents these acts as devastating turning points—moments that shatter identity and set lives on a path of no return.

SÉANCE OF SORROW comments,“Forsaken is the first Vision. These aren’t dreams. These events actually happened. I’m not watching them — I’m inside them. I experience them from both perspectives. First person. Third person. Victim. Aggressor. In this chapter, I’m shown as the attacker — but that isn’t who I am. It’s how the Vision forces me to feel what truly took place. The violence isn’t spectacle. It’s evidence. Every Vision introduces someone connected to my death. Every one of them carries a moment that changed them forever. Forsaken is about trauma, about survival, and about how one irreversible act can send someone down a path they never come back from. The Visions aren’t random. They’re clues.”

Experience the visuals for 'FORSAKEN.'Directed and edited by Tomi Jo Mouser, with additional post-production by Jason Todd. Watch it below:

Listen to 'FORSAKEN' here. https://open.spotify.com/album/1GDJutGX6LFhHwYZ589acG?si=SNuoFLylTX-dZmEw0KlvxA

'FORSAKEN' was produced, mixed and mastered by Josiah Wiswell.

Each song serves as a psychic vision for vocalist Michael Morrison, unearthing fragments of former lives, the shadows of grieving loved ones, and the echoes of tragic endings.

Condemned to ‘The Black’—a purgatory for forsaken souls with unfinished business—the band is driven by a singular purpose: to write the one song that will finally reveal the identity of their killer. Until that truth is found, SÉANCE OF SORROW broadcasts their cryptic hard rock from the depths of eternal darkness.

Step deeper into the darkness at seanceofsorrow.com, where the music videos are reborn as interactive comic book installments. Secure your piece of the ritual with exclusive band apparel, and follow along as each new single unearths another chapter of this tragic tale.

Close your eyes, open your hearts, and let the ritual begin.
This is the SÉANCE OF SORROW.

UADA Unveils Haunting Cover of Neo-Folk Outfit ROME's "Der Brandtaucher"

Enigmatic black metal masters UADA is now unveiling a haunting version of ROME's "Der Brandtaucher." The release comes just before UADA embarks on their next North American journey alongside MORTIIS, in which Jerome Reuter’s ROME will be among the support. The song can be heard below.

'Interwoven' will be released on April 10 via Eisenwald Records. The album represents an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of UADA's discography as well as various covers from the bands who've inspired them. 'Interwoven' is now available for pre-orders HERE.

UADA comments, "Originally composed by Jerome Reuter and Patrick Damiani, this rendition was the final track chosen for Interwoven. Having followed Rome since 2008’s Masse Mensch Material, “Der Brandtaucher” held deep personal resonance, especially during the most difficult chapter of my life. Its inclusion was not simply artistic - it was necessary."

In addition, UADA has joined forces with industrial metal artist MORTIIS for a very special co-headliner, featuring exclusive anniversary sets and supporting performances by Jerome Reuter’s ROME and WRAITH KNIGHT. UADA will be performing their seminal 2016 debut album 'Devoid of Light' in its entirety + a special CERMONIAL CASTINGS 30-year anniversary set featuring Wraith Knight. In addition, MORTIIS shall be performing songs from his groundbreaking 2001 full-length, 'The Smell Of Rain,' along with other volumes of dystopian despair. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are now available HERE.

Moreover, after much demand from fans, UADA will be returning to Milwaukee Metal Fest for the second time since leaving their mark during the 2024 edition. The festival will take place at The Rave/Eagle's Club from June 4 - 7, with UADA performing on the 7th. More info and tickets can be found HERE.
