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.

Metal has always thrived on power, rebellion, and pushing boundaries and MIDNITE HELLION are kicking down the door with all three on their latest release, “Cross The Line."

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!

It is a song about struggle, growth, and the courage it takes to move forward even when the destination is uncertain.

From the opening moments, “New Horizons”immediately establishes an atmosphere that pulls listeners in before exploding into soaring hooks and driving rock energy.

MIDNITE HELLION Summon The Dark with New Single “THE CONJURING” Their Rendition of the Megadeth Classic

"The Conjuring," located in the depths of the band's rehearsal collection, is one of four bonus tracks featured on the re-release of "Condemned To Hell." Our rendition of this Megadeth classic is fast, loose, and most importantly, fun - a fly-on-the-wall perspective of exactly what we were getting into 9 years ago.

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.

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.

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.

New Southwest Contender in Alternative Rock, LES PALMS Releases Debut Single ‘Second Chance’

New Southwest contender in alternative rock, LES PALMS, releases debut single “Second Chance”. This track is a refreshing take on late 90s/early 2000s indie rock with a pop-punk punch. The lyrics preach a relatable human element, how in even the worst situations everyone deserves a second chance. The single was produced in Las Vegas, NV under Chris Collier

The group’s founder and guitarist Sean Fitz is the bassist for the RIAA Gold Certified American

hard rock band OTHERWISE. Seth Laurent(frontman) and Volkan Tonga (bass) are both

founding members of the high-energy Las Vegas band theguiltyparty. The trio met through

shows with each other's respective bands and bonded over writing music.

Sean Fitz on the single:

“‘Second Chance’ was originally written for my solo project, but once I heard Seth’s version of

the song, I knew we had something I wanted to run with. Flash forward four months, and Les

Palms is more than just an idea.”

Seth Laurent behind the lyrics of

“Second Chance”:

“‘Second Chance’ is very personal to me. Not being adequate enough for someone due to a

drinking problem is not a fictional tale in my life.”

Seth Laurent on recording with Chris Collier:

“Working with Chris Collier was one of the best experiences I’ve had making music. He let me

work through as many takes necessary, giving the track performance room to shine. “

The track will be available everywhere from Apple Music to Spotify, and even your local Touch Tunes on April 10, 2026. You can find more information on the band at their website lespalms.com
