LORDS OF ACID ANNOUNCE “CHEEKY FREAKY TOUR – PT. 2”

After a wildly successful first leg, LORDS OF ACID are bringing the party back for another round with the Cheeky Freaky Tour – PT. 2, featuring 15 brand-new U.S. dates this October.

The first Cheeky Freaky Tour recently wrapped after an unforgettable run filled with sold out shows, enthusiastic crowds, outrageous performances and the wild live energy that has defined Lords of Acid for decades. The response was so strong that the band decided there was only one thing to do: take the show back

on the road.

“We’re doing Cheeky Freaky Part 2 for one simple reason: the fans asked for more,” says LORDS OF ACID founder Praga Khan. “The energy, the sold out shows, the incredible response - it all made us realize one thing: we weren’t ready to say goodbye just yet. So we’re coming back louder, freakier and more outrageous than ever.”

Joining LORDS OF ACID once again will be Princess Superstar, Tony & The Kiki and MZ NEON—three artists whose own fearless, freaky and outrageous performances helped turn the first tour into a full-night spectacle from the moment the doors opened.

This is far more than a traditional concert bill. Each artist brings a distinct mix of attitude, sexuality, theatricality, chaos and larger-than-life energy, building toward a night that feels more like an immersive underground party than a standard rock show. Together, the entire lineup creates the kind of unpredictable, and wildly entertaining experience that made the first Cheeky Freaky Tour such a success. But this one goes further!

The Cheeky Freaky Tour – PT. 2 begins October 15 in Norwalk, Connecticut, and concludes October 31 in Philadelphia. LORDS OF ACID will also make a special appearance at Sick New World Texas in Fort Worth on October 24.

Loveless & Company Confront Emotional Exhaustion with Powerful New Single "I'm Done"

There comes a moment when pretending everything is okay is no longer an option.

For LOVELESS & COMPANY, that moment arrives with the release of their emotionally gripping new single, "I'm Done."Blending soaring melodies, raw rock energy, and deeply personal lyricism, the band delivers a song that speaks to anyone who has ever carried invisible burdens while trying to convince the world they were fine.

"I'm Done" isn't about giving up.It's about reaching a breaking point where honesty becomes the only path forward.

Fueled by dynamic instrumentation and a vocal performance that balances vulnerability with unwavering conviction, the track captures the emotional weight of burnout, isolation, and the relentless pressure to keep moving forward when life refuses to let up.

Lead vocalist and guitarist Aaron Loveless explains the heart behind the song:

"I'm Done" is about carrying the world on your shoulders for so long that it stops feeling temporary and starts feeling permanent. Life gets heavy, and you keep pushing through it anyway, because you don't have the luxury of quitting. No matter where you go, there you are just you and the truth and in that moment the mask falls. You've reached the end of the rope. You don't negotiate with it. It's been trapped under your ribs until it finally rips out of your chest, screaming, 'I'm Done.'"

That emotional honesty is exactly what makes "I'm Done"resonate so deeply. Rather than relying on clichés or manufactured angst, LOVELESS & COMPANY confront the realities of emotional fatigue with sincerity, crafting a song that feels deeply personal while remaining

universally relatable.

Musically, the band strikes a compelling balance between heavy, emotionally charged rock and memorable melodic hooks. Driving guitars, thunderous rhythms, and cinematic dynamics create a soundscape that mirrors the song's emotional arc building tension before erupting into an unforgettable chorus that refuses to let go.

The result is a track that doesn't simply ask listeners to hear it, it invites them to feel every word. In an era where many people quietly battle anxiety, burnout, depression, and the overwhelming demands of everyday life, "I'm Done" serves as both a cathartic release and a reminder that vulnerability is not weakness. Sometimes the strongest thing a person can do is admit they've reached their limit.

With "I'm Done," LOVELESS & COMPANY continue establishing themselves as a band unafraid to tackle difficult emotions through authentic songwriting and powerful musicianship. Their ability to transform deeply personal experiences into anthems of resilience positions them as one of the most emotionally compelling voices

in modern rock.

ABOUT LOVELESS & COMPANY:

Loveless & Company is an Arizona based outlaw rock band known for blending southern rock, country western swagger, and raw rock and roll energy. Characterized by fierce live theatrics and gritty anthems, the group is led by frontman and guitarist Aaron Loveless alongside drummer and producer Mikey Loveless, guitarist Billy Loveless & bassist Wayne Loveless.

DEAD/ASLEEP Unleash Crushing New Single "Victimless" – A Powerful Statement from Rock and Metal's Newest Supergroup

"Victimless" is a cautionary tale of the many possible perils of immersing one’s self in sympathetic introspection and/or the lengths one may go to in order to justify karmic debt accrual. Part defiance. Part guilt. The paradox of straddling the line between ignorance and self awareness. Half awake or half dead? #sleepwalkyolowithorwithoutconscience

Some collaborations are born from opportunity. Others are forged through experience. DEAD/ASLEEP is the latter.

Comprised of members from Drowning Pool, Fire From The Gods, Flyleaf, Live, and Crobot, DEAD/ASLEEP arrives with a sound that refuses to fit neatly into a single genre. Fusing crushing grooves, atmospheric heaviness, emotionally charged melodies, and deeply introspective lyricism, the band delivers modern heavy rock and metal that is both sonically punishing and emotionally resonant.

Their debut release, "Victimless," introduces listeners to a band unafraid to confront uncomfortable truths. Driven by massive riffs, haunting textures, and an undeniable sense of urgency, "Victimless" examines the dangerous cycle of self justification, guilt, and personal accountability.

ABOUT DEAD/ASLEEP:

DEAD/ASLEEP is a heavy rock/metal band featuring members from Drowning Pool, Fire From The Gods, Flyleaf, Live, and Crobot. Combining crushing grooves, massive hooks, and darker emotional themes, the band’s debut singles “Better Off Dead” and “Victimless” explore paranoia, identity, and survival through a raw, atmospheric sound built for fans of emotionally charged heavy music.

RAZORWIRE HALO Take On NINE INCH NAILS Classic with Haunting New Cover Of "SOMETHING I CAN NEVER HAVE"

"When approaching the cover of "Something I Can Never Have", our goal was not to reinvent the song, but to honor what made it special while incorporating elements of our own musical identity. We stayed closely aligned with the original piano and synth-driven foundation, preserving the mood and intimacy that define the track. At the same time, we introduced our own stylistic touches through the performance, production and overall sonic texture to create a version that feels both familiar and uniquely ours."

The recording process focused heavily on atmosphere and emotion. We wanted every piano note, synth layer, and vocal phrase to contribute to the emotional journey of the song. Rather than overcomplicating the arrangement, we concentrated on capturing the sense of longing and reflection that has made the original such a timeless piece. Finding the right balance between staying faithful to the source material and expressing our own artistic voice was the most important part of the process.

Covering "Something I Can Never Have" was an opportunity to pay tribute to a song that has inspired us for years, and we are excited to share our interpretation with listeners who have loved the original as much as we do.

RAZORWIRE HALO has never been a band afraid to embrace darkness, vulnerability, and raw emotion. Now, the band is paying tribute to one of the most influential acts in alternative and industrial rock history with their powerful new rendition of the Nine Inch Nails classic, "Something I Can Never Have."



Originally appearing on Nine Inch Nails' groundbreaking 1989 debut Pretty Hate Machine, the song has long stood as one of Trent Reznor's most emotionally devastating compositions. Rather than simply recreate the original, RAZORWIRE HALOdigs deep into the song's haunting core, delivering a version that is both respectful of its legacy and unmistakably their own.

From the opening notes, RAZORWIRE HALO transforms the familiar track into a cinematic journey of heartbreak, obsession, loss, and longing. Atmospheric textures, crushing dynamics, and emotionally charged vocals breathe new life into a song that has resonated with listeners for generations.

BIO:

Heavy Metal Rock 'n Roll - MIDNITE HELLION does it best. Founder/drummer Drew Rizzo, long-time bassist/backing vocalist Rach Kubik, and lead guitarist Charles Koegler create the power that amplifies every town.

Their distinctive style – classic, no-frills heavy metal serving tremendously infectious spurts of thrash riffs with a straight, fun stage attitude – made them a top pick for world-class acts to ignite their respective crowds. Bringing their strong regional fan base to the table, MIDNITE HELLION shared the stages with OverKill, Dirkschneider, Grim Reaper, Flotsam & Jetsam, Obituary, Diamond Head, Raven, Exodus, Yngwie Malmsteen, and many more.

Their electrifying debut album Condemned to Hell (2017) proved to be just the kind of wrecking ball that the band needed. Picked up and widely spread by multiple Marconi award holder WSOU 89.5 FM, the album successfully leveled a solid path into the wider US metal scene. In less than a year, Condemned To Hell became a national phenomenon – and so did MIDNITE HELLION as a touring act, spawning intense mosh pits left, right, and center. The touring cycle in support of the album peaked in late 2018 when the band shared stages with OTEP and THE WORLD OVER in the Midwest and Mountain regions of the United States.

Fueled by the sheer awesomeness of their fans and the energy received from this crowd, and driven by a bag of new songs and ideas that they brought back home, MIDNITE HELLION entered Pyramid Sound Studios in Ithaca, NY in August 2019. The recording of their second album Kingdom Immortal took them only six days with the help of iconic producer Alex Perialas, who in the past contributed to shaping the signature thrash sound of Anthrax/S.O.D, OverKill or Testament, while also adding a pound or two to Joe Bonamassa’s music. Mixing took place in March and Mastering in May 2021, before Daniel Bacigalupi (Barry Gibb, Dolly Parton, Stray Cats, Willie Nelson) cut the vinyl mastering at Infrasonic Sound.

Kingdom Immortal became successful with radio stations in the United States from the get-go, landing within the top 5 added albums on radio throughout the nation. As a result, MIDNITE HELLION toured the US with Anvil for 39 dates in summer 2022 supporting the album, followed by a second US leg with Anvil for an additional 25 dates in spring 2023. After completing a bombastic 2024 with the first world-wide release including Europe and hitting the road for an extensive US and Canada tour with German metal machine U.D.O., MIDNITE HELLION took some well-deserved time off in 2025 to recharge.

2026 is proving to be a legendary year for MIDNITE HELLION. Pounding their past, they are reissuing their long out-of-print debut album, Condemned To Hell, complete with bonus material just in time for its 9th Anniversary. To honor this milestone, Midnite Hellion and Anvil are joining forces for an extensive Canadian and US tour to celebrate their shared history of pounding metal.

"We dug deep into our archives and located some gems that have never been available to the public before now! A rehearsal demo recording of Black and White shows the band's raw, unhinged, and snarling energy, ready to strike. This collection also includes three cover tunes, recorded fast and loose in the studio as a fun venture, offering fans a perfect fly-on-the-wall view from 9 years ago. Megadeth, King Diamond, and even Satan himself have been conjured...pick up a copy of the reissued CD to hear what we've got in store for ya! See you this summer in your city to pound our past together!"

This Halloween, Midnite Hellion teams up with Marc "Skippy" Price (Family Ties) for the 40th Anniversary of "Trick Or Treat," starring Marc Price, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, and the late Tony Fields as Sammi Curr. Under Sammi's spell, Midnite Hellion is taking on the role of his band, Omniarch, performing along with the film for the ultimate fan experience for three exclusive shows...unless Sammi demands they play his songs again...

The best is yet to come, as the blast from the past is far from over!

MIDNITE HELLION return with fire in their veins and darkness at their command, unleashing their latest single, “The Conjuring.” This isn’t just a song, it’s a full-scale sonic ritual that pulls listeners into a world of mysticism, aggression, and relentless metal energy.

From the moment the track begins, “The Conjuring” casts its spell. Driven by razor-sharp riffs, thunderous drums, and soaring yet menacing vocals, the song channels classic heavy metal spirit while pushing forward with modern force. It’s a track built to hit hard, stick with you, and demand repeat listens.

Lyrically, “The Conjuring” dives deep into themes of power, transformation, and the unknown drawing from dark imagery and arcane influence to create a narrative that feels both cinematic and visceral. The band doesn’t just play the music… they summon it.

This Halloween, Midnite Hellion teams up with Marc "Skippy" Price (Family Ties) for the 40th Anniversary of "Trick Or Treat," starring Marc Price, Ozzy Osbourne, Gene Simmons, and the late Tony Fields as Sammi Curr. Under Sammi's spell, Midnite Hellion is taking on the role of his band, Omniarch, performing along with the film for the ultimate fan experience for three exclusive shows...unless Sammi demands they play his songs again...

The best is yet to come, as the blast from the past is far from over!

CROBOT Dive Headfirst into “Trouble” with New Single and Video from Supermoon Album

“Trouble” is the kind of song you’d be proud blowing the speakers out of that ‘69 Nova (or that 2024 Prius…) - either way, this one is made to be jammed LOUD.  This brand new CROBOT track off of their new record Supermoon features the fuzzed-out, wooly intro riff from guitarist Chris Bishop, Brandon Yeagley’s moon-beaming vocal screams, and the funkified and unified rhythmic brotherhood of Nico and Willie Jansen on drums and bass. “Trouble” stares danger right in the face and asks it to stay a little while longer, just to see what happens.

Rock heavyweights CROBOT recently released their highly anticipated new album, Supermoon, arriving today which has received significant media coverage. Known for their thunderous riffs, infectious hooks, and larger than life swagger, the band returns with a record that is both a natural evolution and a bold expansion of their sonic identity.

With Supermoon, CROBOT tap into something bigger, something louder, dirtier, and undeniably cosmic. The album channels the band’s raw energy into a collection of tracks that blend crushing hard rock, fuzzed out grooves, and psychedelic textures into an experience that feels as expansive as it is explosive.

Lyrically and sonically, the album reflects a band fully locked in confident, creative, and ready to take listeners on a ride that’s as electrifying as it is immersive. Whether it’s the swaggering, riff driven stompers or the more expansive, mood driven moments, Supermoon proves CROBOT are operating at full power.

MIND INCISION Delivers With Explosive New Single “Y.W.A.WAR"

MIND INCISION has officially unleashed their blistering new single, “Y.W.A.War (You Wanted A War)” a no-holds-barred sonic assault that doesn’t just push boundaries…

it obliterates them.

Fueled by aggression, precision, and unapologetic intensity, “Y.W.A.War” is a battle cry for anyone who’s ever been underestimated, overlooked, or pushed to their breaking point.

This isn’t just a song, it’s a declaration.

From the opening moments, MIND INCISION wastes no time setting the tone. Crushing riffs, relentless percussion, and venom-laced vocals collide to create a track that feels like controlled chaos. Every second hits with purpose, building a wall of sound that’s as punishing as

it is addictive.

Lyrically, “Y.W.A.War” cuts deep, channeling frustration, defiance, and raw truth into a message that hits hard and resonates even harder. It’s confrontational, it’s cathartic, and it refuses to back down.

“Y.W.A.War” is only the beginning.

The first chapter in a three-part cinematic saga, MIND INCISION is unleashing a full-scale visual and sonic war over the next year... each release revealing another piece of a dark,

unfolding narrative.

Set in a not so distant future, the story dives into a world where humanity’s greatest creation becomes its greatest threat… as AI machines rise, rebel, and turn on the very masses that built them.

The story begins with “Y.W.A.War” a brutal awakening in the aftermath of a nuclear winter, set in a shattered world around the year 2043. Humanity emerges from beneath the earth, broken but not finished. The video follows a small group of survivors as they begin to rebuild, searching for purpose… and for a leader strong enough to guide them into the war that’s coming.

This isn’t just a trilogy.

It’s a full scale rebellion.

A cinematic war for the future of humanity.
