Rotting Christ Announce Re-Recording of Aealo

As they continue to celebrate 35 years of evil existence, Rotting Christ are beginning what is sure to be a monumental new year by reinforcing one of the pillars in their mighty discography.  

Today, the Greek legends are announcing a re-recorded version of the band’s 11th album. Chiseled with modern production, polished by a rich mix and draped with fresh cover art, the new and improved AEALO enhances every aspect that makes this album a cornerstone from Rotting Christ’s Hellenic era.

“Dear friends”, begins the band’s vocalist and guitarist Sakis Tolis. “We have re-recorded, remixed and remastered our 11th album AEALO with deep respect for the original recording. We are proud to present to you the first sample from the album with a new video for its title track”.

Watch the new lyric video for the album’s classic title track below.

The re-recorded version of AEALO comes out January 23, 2026 on Season of Mist.

Long-held as one of Rotting Christ’s defining anthems, “AEALO” is a fierce yet tragic portrayal of warfare. In English, the title means “I destroy” or “I thrash”. Martial percussion, ceremonial melodies and a female choir evoke the spirit of ancient Greek rituals and the psychology of the battlefield. The re-recorded version unearths new layers that were once hidden, strengthening the song’s mythic resonance while reflecting on the album’s larger themes of sacrifice and the cost of conflict.  

In 2019, Rotting Christ’s epic journey continued with The Apocryphal Spell compilation, which offers fans an intimate glimpse into unreleased and rare material. This allowed them to gather strength, preparing for the release of their next, highly anticipated, 14th full-length studio album: Pro Xristou.

Pro Xristou (‘Before Christ’ in Greek), serves as a fervent tribute to the last Pagan kings who resisted the onslaught of Christianity, guarding their ancient values and knowledge. In this thematic odyssey, intricately woven through tracks such as ‘The Apostate’ and ‘Ygdrassil’, Rotting Christ delves into the legacies of historical figures such as Flavius Claudius Julianus and Nordic mythological kings, embodying the might of Pagan wisdom in the face of Christian adversity. The album encapsulates the essence of Rotting Christ’s signature style – melodic, yet harsh at times – reinventing themselves yet again, while remaining rooted in their 35-year legacy.

LETHAL, Blending Power Metal with Melodic Heavy Metal, Release PROGRAMMED Remastered By Rob Colwell on Brutal Planet Records

When Programmed landed in 1990, Kentucky’s Lethal delivered an album that many hailed as “the best Queensrÿche record since Operation: Mindcrime.” Blending the muscle of American power metal with the sophistication of melodic heavy metal, the band achieved songs that combine intelligence, melody, and might in perfect balance.

Frontman Tom Mallicoat commands every moment with soaring, expressive vocals, while brothers Eric and Glen Cook drive the music with dynamic twin-guitar harmonies and intricate arrangements. From the opening firestorm “Fire in Your Skin” to the title track “Programmed” and the emotional centerpiece “Another Day”, the album never falters—each song delivering technical mastery and heartfelt conviction. Remastered by Rob Colwell and presented in a jewel case with a 12-page photo/lyric booklet, this Metal Icon Series edition restores Programmed with vivid clarity and punch. For fans of Queensrÿche, Fates Warning, Crimson Glory, and Helloween, this is one of the defining melodic metal releases of its era—timeless, powerful, and fully realized.

EVICTION, Pittsburgh Crossover Thrash Metal, Release THE WORLD IS HOURS AWAY Remastered By Rob Colwell on Brutal Planet Records

In 1990, Pittsburgh’s Eviction unleashed The World Is Hours Away — a volatile mix of thrash power and punk rebellion that instantly earned cult status among crossover metal fans. Fueled by blue-collar grit and raw conviction, the album captured a scene that valued energy over polish and truth over trends.

Brutal Planet Records now brings this underground classic back to life with a striking Nuclear Green Vinyl pressing, complete with a full-color 12″ × 12″ lyric and collage insert that celebrates Eviction’s history and the Pittsburgh scene that forged them. It’s a sonic time capsule of American thrash at its most honest — loud, fast, and full of heart.

From the relentless drive of “Listen” and “Drunken State” to the defiant anthem “American Way,” every track oozes authenticity and attitude. For fans who live at the intersection of punk ferocity and metal precision — where Suicidal Tendencies, D.R.I., and C.O.C. collide — this is the definitive way to experience The World Is Hours Away.

ATAVISTIA Unleash New Single “Through The Hollow Raven’s Eyes (Reforged)” from The Winter Way (Reforged)

Symphonic melodic death metal band ATAVISTIA return with renewed ferocity on their upcoming single “Through The Hollow Raven’s Eyes (Reforged),” set for release on November 14, 2025 via Blood Blast Distribution. The track serves as the second offering from their completely reimagined and re-recorded album The Winter Way (Reforged), arriving December 12, 2025.

Originally released in 2020, The Winter Way marked a defining moment for ATAVISTIA’s ambitious fusion of extreme metal and orchestral soundscapes. However, founder Mattias Sippola admits the band was never satisfied with its production or execution, saying, “It was simply not even close enough to being ready. From fat trimming, performance during the recording stage, and the overall production, it just wasn’t there.” After the original release, the album became a forgotten and dark chapter until the idea of reforging it brought it new life.

While working on a brand new album, unforeseen delays left a void in ATAVISTIA’s creative path. During this pause, Sippola decided to completely reconstruct The Winter Way from the ground up. This new version is not a remix or remaster but an entirely new recording, featuring reworked arrangements, modern production, and rewritten orchestral and atmospheric elements. Some of the original drum and bass recordings remain but have been refined for tighter performance. The addition of Spencer Budworth’s powerful growls brings an entirely new energy to the mix, elevating the album to new heights.

“Through The Hollow Raven’s Eyes (Reforged)” stands as the fastest and most complex composition on the record. Trimmed and refined to sharpen its impact, the song features adjusted vocal melodies and lyrics that better match the pacing and atmosphere of the updated arrangement. The result is a dynamic and emotionally charged piece that captures ATAVISTIA’s evolution as both musicians and producers.

The Winter Way (Reforged) showcases ATAVISTIA’s ability to merge cinematic orchestrations with ferocious metal intensity. It was produced, mixed, and mastered by Matthew Richard Sippola at Atavistic Studios with engineering support from Maximilian Sepulveda. The recording lineup includes Mattias Sippola on vocals, guitars, orchestrations, and production, Max Sepulveda on drums, Spencer Budworth on backing vocals, and D’wayne Murray on bass. The album artwork was created by Simo Häsänen.

ATAVISTIA lineup:

Mattias Sippola - Guitar, Vocals, Composition, Production
Max Sepulveda - Drums, Engineering
Elia Baghbaniyan - Guitar
Spencer Budworth - Bass, Vocals
 

About ATAVISTIA:

Formed in 2017 in Vancouver, Canada, ATAVISTIA takes their fans on a spellbinding journey though vast sonic landscapes of snow covered forests, desolate tundras, and permafrost-laden landscapes. Fans of WINTERSUN, ENSIFERUM, DIMMU BORGIR, and XANTHOCHROID will be enthralled by the elements of melodic death metal, black metal, and Scandinavian folk that is intricately woven together throughout their diverse soundscape.

Taking inspiration from the majestic natural landscapes of their homeland, earthly seasons, and ancient Norse culture, ATAVISTIA’s grandiose sound matches these lyrical themes in an impressive symphony of destruction. Their debut EP, One With The Sun (2017) introduced their unique blend of beauty and ferocity, which they followed up with a stormy full-length in 2020 through The Winter Way. The next two releases, the full-length Cosmic Warfare (2023) and the EP Inane Duncam (2024), saw the band spreading their wings and exploring a wider variety of influences. Through it all, ATAVISTIA balances graceful melodies with a brutal rhythmic cacophony, swirling elegance and fury together like a ferocious northern blizzard.

On stage, ATAVISTIA is a force of nature, like waves crashing against a rocky shore. Their music washes over audiences worldwide, leaving them gasping for more long after the last note has faded. They have toured Europe twice alongside notable acts such as SKÁLMÖLD, METSATÖLL, and SEVEN SPIRES, and have opened locally for MOONSPELL, ELEINE, and OCEANS OF SLUMBER. ATAVISTIA has firmly established its presence in a niche among a wide swath of metal genres.

Are you ready to lose yourself in the juxtaposition of lush and arid, the dichotomy of hope and despair, and welcome the inevitable and beautiful end?

AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN Announce Repress of 'Misty Woman'

The psychedelic desert rock ensemble AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN evoke an expansive and immersive soundscape in their acclaimed album Misty Woman. This December, the band's debut full-length release returns including a brand new bonus track on cyan and magenta vinyl, as well as on CD, via Black Throne Productions. 

The album was thoroughly shaped by the landscape traversed in its making. The San Diego, CA, based psychedelic desert rock trio road tripped from San Diego, CA, to Austin, TX, to record the album at Electric Deluxe Recorders with Grammy-award winning producer Adrian Quesada. The sun-scorched and mirage-laden Texas environment of the record’s creation sets the tone for the music therein.    

Misty Woman will be unleashed on December 19th, 2025. The vinyl is available for pre-order via Black Throne Productions HERE. AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN has recently signed with Atomic Music Group.

About AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN:
AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN is comprised of San Diego’s Brennan Justice (guitar, lead vocals), Anthony DeFreitas (bass, vocals) and Jeremy Luvaas (drums, percussion). Beginning as a duo, Justice and DeFreitas' previous time in a surf rock ensemble saw the pair develop their signature Western tones with an excessive use of spring reverb, translating now to the ethereal, dusty sound of psychedelic desert rock. The band’s name is born from a fictional 1970s murder mystery novel dreamt up by the trio on a drunken night, capturing their embrace of “strange and heavy”, aptly fitting of the uncanny elements entwined in their music. AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN produce an neo-psychedelic style that carries an eerie quality. The sonic atmosphere envelopes each listener with nostalgia. 

The trio began as a self-recording band with a home-brew analog-meets-digital rig set up. The DIY approach was left behind in 2019 when the outfit ventured from their hometown of San Diego, CA to Austin, TX to record Misty Woman in a studio they felt would best fit the vibe of their new compositions. Working with producer Adrian Quesada (The Black Pumas, 7-time Grammy-nominee) at Electric Deluxe Recorders, the very sun-beaten landscape that surrounds the studio fed into the quality and mood of the recordings. 

Initially released by Nasoni Records in February of 2020, the enthralling textures and captivating character of AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN's Misty Woman returns including the new track "Magic Touch", on vinyl and CD via Black Throne Productions on December 19th, 2025.

AUNT CYNTHIA'S CABIN is:
Brennan Justice (guitar, lead vocals)

KT TUNSTALL CELEBRATES 20 YEARS OF MULTI MILLION SELLING DEBUT ALBUM WITH SPECIAL 20TH ANNIVERSARY RE-ISSUE OF ‘EYE TO THE TELESCOPE’ VIA BMG – OUT NOW

Multi-platinum, BRIT Award-winning and Grammy®-nominated artist KT Tunstall announces the 20th anniversary re-issue of her iconic debut album, Eye To The Telescope, due for release in exclusive collector’s edition vinyl and CD formats, featuring B-sides and exclusive live tracks, on October 31st, full track listing below. Included on the album and to mark this major milestone, fans will be treated to three previously unheard tracks: the title track "Eye To The Telescope," "Cancerian" and "Anything At All."

Originally released at the tail end of 2004, the Eye To The Telescope album catapulted Scottish Singer Songwriter KT Tunstall into the global spotlight, fuelled by an unforgettable live debut on Later… with Jools Holland - a career-defining moment that saw Tunstall seize a last-minute opportunity to fill in for rapper Nas, and perform with nothing but her guitar, loop pedal, and tambourine. Her performance of “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” became instantly iconic, one of the first examples of a ‘viral moment’ and launched a record that features several hit singles, which was given its full push in 2005 on the back of that moment. The album contained several hits, including the massive “Suddenly I See” - a song that became inextricably linked to pop culture history with its full-length feature in the opening scene of The Devil Wears Prada, forever associating both the song and Tunstall with a ubiquitous zeitgeist moment.

 

Stream Eye To The Telescope 20th Anniversary re-issue here.

From her fearless solo looping to her emotive, genre-spanning songwriting, KT Tunstall has never been one to stand still creatively. Recipient of several awards, most recently the prestigious Ivor Novello Award for outstanding Song Collection, Tunstall has continued to tour the world and release eight critically acclaimed albums.

As many have pointed out, Tunstall is relatively rare example of a small but exclusive line of female singer songwriters, either from or adopted by this country, whose guitar playing, both acoustic and electric, is unapologetically front and centre; think Chrissie Hynde, PJ Harvey, and (Tunstall collaborator) Suzi Quatro.

A highlight of the anniversary re-release is the addition of three new songs, including current single "Cancerian," "Anything At All," as well as the title track "Eye To The Telescope." These songs were started during the original writing sessions and left unfinished until this year. These three new tracks were also released on October 24th as their own stand alone digital EP - The Stargazer EP, which contains the original versions as well as the “Still” acoustic versions. Speaking about the new songs and album title, Tunstall shares:

EYE TO THE TELESCOPE: “The title for my first album was inspired by the times when my physicist Dad, who had a spare set of keys for the Observatory at Andrew’s university, would randomly get us up in the middle of the night and bundle us into the car in our pajamas to go and look through the huge telescope to see the night sky; the Moon, Saturn, Halley’s comet, all of which completely blew my mind as a kid. When I decided to call the album ‘Eye to the Telescope’, I thought I’d have a go at writing a title track, but what I began writing was so delicate, and I felt that a title track of a first album surely had to be a banger, so I abandoned it. My label BMG encouraged me to finish the song for this special re-release, and it’s been such a thrill to complete something over 20 years in the making. Having the album’s original string arranger David Davidson add his gorgeous orchestration on it, as well as Shabaka’s magical wooden flute performance, feels like a cosmic full-circle moment.”

CANCERIAN: "After deciding on my first album title, it got me thinking about horoscopes and how we have always looked to the stars for guidance. "Cancerian" is written from that middle ground of awe and skepticism, and pokes some gentle fun at anyone being sure of how the future will turn out. It was a lot of fun to record an old song for the very first time, and I loved getting the chance to work with the truly excellent Producer and Mixer Robert Adam Stevenson on this track.”

 

ANYTHING AT ALL: “I wrote this song with Martin Terefe who also produced it. It’s a song about finding it impossible to communicate with someone you love. It is such a thrill to finally get "Anything At All" out into the world. I have adored this song since writing it in the early 2000’s - for almost every album I’ve made I’ve wondered if it could make the track listing. But I’m glad to have waited until now, as it feels like the perfect moment, a gift from my younger self. I got very emotional in the studio, singing backing vocals along to my 20 years younger self. A beautiful experience. When I listen to it now, it could almost be a message from this future me to my younger self during times of struggle.” 

The 20th anniversary re-issue of Eye to the Telescope is a heartfelt celebration of KT Tunstall’s enduring artistry, and a time capsule of the record that changed everything. The re-issue of the iconic debut album, Eye To the Telescope, “Stargazer Editions” are available physically today - full format/ tracklisting below. The Stargazer EP, containing three new songs, is also available digitally via BMG.

TRUSTcompany and Smartpunk Records Team Up to Release "The Lonely Position Of Neutral" on Vinyl

A defining album for TRUSTcompany and the greater scope of rock music, "The Lonely Position Of Neutral" is a must-have record in the collection of any die-hard 2000s rock music fan who wants to hold a piece of history in their hands.  It is the band's most successful release to date, and was certified gold with over half a million copies sold.

The album was originally released on July 22, 2002, and after 23 years, Smartpunk Records has exclusively teamed up with the band for a special vinyl release of 2,000 total pressings, 500 of which are Smartpunk Exclusive. This is the first time the album is on vinyl, and it is available for purchase online now.

Order here.

Kevin Palmer, vocalist of TRUSTcompany, commented, "It’s wild to think that 23 years after its release, The Lonely Position of Neutral is finally available on vinyl. This record changed our lives, and we’re beyond thankful that it continues to connect with people all these years later."

Speaking about the release, Smartpunk Records Label Manager Matt Burns says, "This record, and specifically 'Downfall', created a core memory in my mind from when you'd discover new music on the radio. I remember in the early 2000s, I would find out about so many new bands from MTV or MuchMusic, but I got turned onto TRUSTcompany from our local South Florida rock station (shoutout ZETA 94.9)! I got tickets to see the band at the Halloweenie Roast, which also had  KoRn and I think Theory of a Deadman? Tickets were probably only like $30, but I remember the band blew my young mind away! I picked up the CD from a local shop shortly after, and to be able to work with the band over 20 years later on this release is so insane to me!"

UGLY KID JOE 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF MENACE TO SOBRIETY ON BOTH SINGLE AND DELUXE DOUBLE VINYL COMING IN NOVEMBER FROM DEKO ENTERTAINMENT

In 1995 Ugly Kid Joe released their 2nd full length record, Menace To Sobriety. A heavier and darker album than the predecessor, which fit the time, and Kerrang! Magazine called it “the album of year”, yet the album received little to no promotion in the US, validating vocalist, Whitfield Crane’s claim that their label was backing away from them.  

30 years later Menace To Sobriety’s true power is evident, without the bias of the times, and with the years having shown that many of the albums that were ignored by the labels prove to have much more life than the ones they spent their PR budgets on, Ugly Kid Joe may have recorded the heaviest and most consequential album of their careers. Menace saw the addition of drummer Shannon Larkin from Wrathchild America, and later of  Godsmack, and his impact was obvious from the opening of the powerful lead off track “God”. His playing propels the doom of the lead off single “Tomorrow’s World”, a track that shows how big of an influence Black Sabbath was on the band, and one of the stand outs on this album. The bands songwriting shines throughout this album, as does the musicianship, and of course the infamous Ugly Kid Joe sense of humor. “Milman’s Son” shows the depth of the band’s writing, and the different textures of Whit’s voice from smooth to snarl, the melody is memorable and so are the lyrics, sincere, yet humorous.  As the record rolls on we hear the powerful chemistry of the guitar duo of Dave Fortman and Klaus Eichstadt with riffs like “Clover” and the amazing “Jesus Rode A Harley”, and the heavy and funky bass playing of Cordell Crockett.  

View “Milkman’s Son” below:

Deko is proud to bring this album back to vinyl for its first Official Repress in two different formats! The single album reissue is on Ugly Kid Joe Ghostly Green, and a double LP pressed at 45RPM on an explosive Orange A-Side / B-Side Splatter that comes in a gatefold, both featuring the bonus track “Slower Than Nowhere”, which was not included on the US release of the album originally.  Both in limited pressings!  

Ugly Kid Joe was formed in 1989, and has released five full-length albums, two compilation albums and two EPs. They burst on to the scene with As Ugly as They Wanna Be (1991) and America's Least Wanted (1992), which were both certified double platinum by the RIAA; the former is notable for being the first EP to go platinum, and propelled by the hit songs “Everything About You”, “Neighbor”, “So Damn Cool” and the huge cover of “Cats In The Cradle”. The band broke up in 1997, and after a 13 year absence, reformed, and have been recording and touring almost annually ever since, and they show no signs of slowing down.

This is a must have for Ugly Kid Joe fans and continues Deko Entertainment’s mission to bring you some of the best reissues with the best sound quality and packaging from some of your favorite bands. Bringing some of these releases to vinyl for the first time including recent reissues from Union, Trapeze, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Dokken, Slaughter and Warrant.

Deep Purple's "Rapture of the Deep" Album Marks 20 Years With Remix + Unreleased Tracks

IS THIS DEEP PURPLE'S UNFAIRLY FORGOTTEN ALBUM?

RAPTURE OF THE DEEP MARKS 20 YEARS WITH A STUNNING REMIX + UNRELEASED TRACKS

RAPTURE OF THE DEEP 20TH ANNIVERSARY REMIX TO BE RELEASED AUGUST 29

Deep Purple's Rapture of the Deep turns 20 – and i'’s celebrated with a complete remix and remaster, striking new artwork, plus a bonus CD/LP featuring never-before-released recordings.

Listen to "Junkyard Blues" below:

It's no secret that Rapture of the Deep isn’t the first album that comes to mind when listing Deep Purple's classics – and while it was met with interest at the time, it gradually faded from view. Despite solid sales, the album arrived during a period when there was little spotlight on the world of classic rock, and over the years, Rapture of the Deep developed into an overlooked chapter in Deep Purple's rich discography.

It's equally true that this record, and the story behind it, marked a turning point — the quiet beginning of a run that would eventually lead to four consecutive No. 1 albums (2013, 2017, 2020, 2024) and the kind of success few bands experience even once, let alone decades into their career.

New insights by Kerrang! founder and Classic Rock magazine writer Geoff Bartonpull back the curtain on a time when Deep Purple were navigating an uncertain era in the music industry that saw the downfall of many once-great artist careers — and unravel the strange chemistry that gave birth to Deep Purple's 18th studio album.

As bassist Roger Glover reflects, "We were going through a bit of a hard time when we started the songwriting and production of Rapture of the Deep and, strangely enough, we didn't have a record company at that point. Let's face it, we were a bit lost (…)."

But from that uncertain moment emerged an album bursting with sharp songwriting, masterful playing, and pure Deep Purple grit.

Now, newly mixed with the supervision of Glover, analogue-mastered at renowned Chameleon Studios in Hamburg, and presented with bold new artwork, Rapture of the Deep finally shines with clarity and color. "It's a new album now to me," says Roger Glover. Fans will hear it blooming for the first time.

This new edition also includes a bonus CD/LP featuring previously unreleased instrumental takes and studio rehearsals recorded during the songwriting process — providing a rare, unfiltered insight into the band’s creative work in the studio. Captured on multi-track in 2005 and mixed for the first time in 2025, it’s one of those rare instances where recordings resurface decades later from archives long thought lost.

Among the highlights is the track "Closing Note," a never-before-heard piece by former guitarist Steve Morse — recorded during the album sessions and now officially released for the first time.

These tracks are available exclusively on all three physical formats — CD Digipak, 3LP Vinyl (black, 180g), and the strictly Limited 3LP Transparent Sky-Blue Vinyl.

With Deep Purple riding high on the success of their latest No. 1 record =1, the time is right to (re)discover the album that set the path for Deep Purple in the 21st century.

UFO ‘NO PLACE TO RUN’ SCHEDULED TO RELEASE ON DELUXE, EXPANDED, REMASTERED AND REISSUED DOUBLE CD AND TRIPLE VINYL

Chrysalis Records are proud to present UFO’s classic 1980 album ‘No Place To Run’, newly remastered from the original production tapes transfers at AIR Mastering and reissued on stunning 3LP tri-fold sleeve 180gm vinyl and 2CD Digipak formats on August 15th, 2025.

‘No Place To Run’ was the eighth studio album by UFO and the first with Paul Chapman on guitar, following the departure of Michael Schenker. It was produced by legendary Beatles producer George Martin and recorded at his newly launched AIR Studios in Montserrat in the Caribbean, a stark difference from the bands’ usual surroundings.

Reflecting on the album forty five years later Phil Mogg said: “The thing that sticks in my mind from recording ‘No Place To Run’ was the complete miss match with UFO / George Martin (who was a lovely chap) and nothing summed it up more than when George would say to Geoff (sound engineer): ‘Well Geoff, it’s six o’clock, time for a G&T out on the veranda.’ How very civilized!”
  
The reissue includes a new and previously unreleased mix of ‘Live at The Marquee, London, November 16th 1980’, mixed by revered engineer Brian Kehew from the original multi-track tapes, giving a powerfully fresh sound. Only three tracks have ever been officially released before (‘Lettin’ Go’, ‘Mystery Train’ and ‘No Place to Run’). The other eleven tracks from this legendary show have not been available until now. The set will take fans right back to the electric atmosphere of the Marquee, with a band at the very top of their game.

Brian Kehew said:
“Paul Chapman’s guitar sound here is really superb, a thick and singing B.C.Rich-into-Marshall tone… No Place To Run is certainly a special time for the band, the peak of their public acceptance. With the music world shifting into new wave and synth-pop around them, they stayed true to their roots and delivered yet another classic album.” (quote taken from liner notes)

Both formats feature new liner notes by Michael Hann featuring interviews with front-man vocalist Phil Mogg and drummer Andy Parker.

UFO ‘No Place To Run’ (2025 Remaster – Deluxe Edition) is released on double CD and 3LP on August 15th, 2025 on Chrysalis Records. Order link: https://UFO.lnk.to/NPT

‘Young Blood’ (Single Version) - 2025 Remaster will be released on DSPs as a single on May 29th, 2025

10TH ANNIVERSARY REISSUE OF DEBUT SOLO ALBUM FROM ANGEL VOCALIST FRANK DIMINO ANNOUNCED

Best known for being the frontman of the legendary Hard Rock band ANGEL, who were discovered (similarly to VAN HALEN) by KISS bass player Gene Simmons and signed to Casablanca Records. With that label ANGEL released 5 critically acclaimed studio and one live album in the second half of the 70’s before disbanding and being resurrected by both DiMino and Punky Meadows in 2018. After the band’s initial break up, Dimino went on to work with UFO’s Paul Raymond and worked as a singer for Soundtracks, scoring a Platinum album for the inclusion of his Cycle V song “Seduce Me Tonight” on the “Flashdance” soundtrack.

 

Frank Dimino released his first solo project Old Habits Die Hard in 2015, a fine Melodic Hard Rock album which saw him collaborate with some heavyweights of the Vegas music scene where he currently resides. Under the production of Paul Crook (MEAT LOAF), Old Habits Die Hard sees the participation, among others, Oz Fox (STRYPER), Eddie Ojeda (TWISTED SISTER), Rickey Medlocke (BLACKFOOT, LYNYRD SKYNYRD), Jeff Duncan (ARMORED SAINT), and former ANGEL bandmates Punky Meadows (on guitar) and Barry Brandt (co-writing with Frank the song” Even Now”).

Watch video for “Never Enough” Below:

To celebrate the 10th Anniversary, it is now being remastered and repackaged with the bonus acoustic track “Even Now” and liner notes by rock journalist Dave Reynolds. It will be available for the first time on 180g White Vinyl and as a 6-Panel Digipak on June 6th. DiMino explains the origins of the album “Ken Ciancimino as executive producer and Paul Crook as the musical producer is the reason I did a solo album. Having Oz Fox and Jeff LaBansky to collaborate with was so inspirational and the reason for writing all new songs for the album. I’m so thankful to all the musicians and friends that played on this album.  Everyone working together on this project is what made this album so special and that’s what makes it so worth it!”

There are only 300 of the vinyl available with a limited number of LP/CD bundles signed by DiMino. Pre-order here:  https://www.dekoentertainment.com/frank-dimino

Miranda Lambert Celebrates 20 Years of 'Kerosene' with First-Ever Vinyl Pressing + Vault Track "I Don't Love Here Anymore"

NPR’s “backbone of contemporary country music” Miranda Lambert is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking major label debut, Kerosene, with a special milestone release. Today, Lambert unveiled the never-before-released “I Don’t Love Here Anymore,” recorded during the original album sessions, while on April 25 fans can get Kerosene on vinyl for the first time ever. Listen to the new release below and pre-order the vinyl HERE.
 
“This album changed everything for me,” Lambert shares of the project named by New York Magazine as one of the year’s best debuts across all genres. “It’s where my journey truly began, and I can hardly believe it’s been 20 years. Releasing Kerosene on vinyl for the first time—and sharing a never-before-heard song from that era—feels incredibly special. I can’t wait for y’all to hear it and relive the fire that started it all!”
 
Kerosene debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart upon its March 15, 2005 release, eventually gaining Platinum certification by the RIAA and earning praise from AllMusic as a “thoroughly winning debut,” with Rolling Stone celebrating “the songs’ sustained excellence” when revisiting the project on its 10th anniversary a decade ago.
 
With the breakthrough album setting the stage for the storied career that followed – including her latest critically-acclaimed project, Postcards from Texas, marking the 10th consecutive Top 10 album for the most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history – Variety proclaims that “Whoever the entertainer of the year may be at any given recent point, Lambert has a strong claim on being country’s entertainer of the last two decades.”
 
Today’s anniversary release follows her latest single “Run,” which arrived at Country radio on Feb. 24 with 73 first-week adds. The three-time GRAMMY Award-winner is also set to join Morgan Wallen for several stadium dates of the upcoming I’m The Problem Tour, while headlining sets at festivals and one-off dates this summer including Two Step Inn, Country Stampede, Lakefront Music Fest, Field & Stream Music Fest and more.

About Miranda Lambert
Critically acclaimed groundbreaker/songwriter/superstar Miranda Lambert has defined her multi-faceted career as an artist, entertainer, entrepreneur, advocate and businesswoman with an unflinching quest for excellence, honesty and conviction. Her 10th solo studio album, Postcards from Texas, available everywhere now via Republic Records, continued her unbroken streak of 10 consecutive Top 10s on the Top Country Albums chart. The most-awarded artist in Academy of Country Music history, including their top honor for Entertainer of the Year, she has also won three GRAMMYs and 14 Country Music Association Awards. A TIME100 honoree and perennial best-of-the-year list maker at the New York Times, TIME, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Stereogum, People and more, NPR has called her “the most riveting country star of her generation.”
 
A multi-dimensional superstar, she’s earned seven No. 1 solo albums, 10 No. 1 hit radio singles, more than 80 prestigious awards and countless RIAA certifications; conquered Las Vegas with her twice-extended Velvet Rodeo residency; blurred genres with Leon Bridges, the B-52s, Loretta Lynn, Enrique Iglesias, Sheryl Crow and Elle King; and delivered her LGBTQ+ inclusive anthem “Y’all Means All” for Netflix’s “Queer Eye.” She’s taken those standards to become a New York Times bestselling author and the first female restaurateur on Lower Broadway with her Tex-Mex cantina Casa Rosa, while also expanding her creative reach with her Wanda June Home collection exclusive to Walmart and her Idyllwind clothing and boot line at Boot Barn. Her passion for rescue animals inspired the creation of her MuttNation Foundation, which has raised over $10 million since inception to promote adoption, support shelters across the country, advance spay & neuter and assist with the transport of animals during times of natural disaster.

Cryptopsy Reissuing 'None So Vile'

They made blasphemy sound fresh on their debut, but for their follow-up, Cryptopsy claimed the crown as the most vile band in all of death metal.

None So Vile established death metal as a truly vulgar art form. With each slurp from his chalice, Lord Worm smears the line between what's sacred and profane until it's dead and dripping. Lead guitarist Jon Levasseur shouldered more of the songwriting duties while seamlessly shredding between gut-slitting chugs, blistering technical riffage and orgiastic solos, though Cryptopsy still followed the textbook drumming of Flo Mounier. Trampled underfoot by a relentless piling-on of blast beats and oddly-timed bursts of double bass, "Graves of the Fathers" quickly cemented itself as a sacred rite amongst circle pits.

"In writing None So Vile, the idea was to create something heavier, faster and more technical than Blasphemy Made Flesh", Flo says. "We were growing as musicians and so was our love for extreme music! At no point in time had we ever thought it would turn out to be one of the essential albums in death metal history. We are very happy that our fans did!"

Season of Mist is reissuing None So Vile on May 9, 2025.

Cryptopsy would win a JUNO after continuing to push the limits of extremity for the next three decades. Still, while only the band's second album, None So Vile is worshiped by gatekeepers and fresh heshers to the underground. “You won’t find a more deserving album to be the first-ever Canadian entry into the Decibel Hall of Fame”, the magazine wrote about None So Vile, which they named the tenth best death metal album of all time.

On None So Vile, Cryptopsy claimed their crown as the most vile band in all of death metal.  

Though now revered as the most vile band in death metal, before Ungentle Exhumation, Cryptopsy were still just a whisper among the Canadian underground.

After settling on a new name and several lineup changes, Cryptopsy recorded their first demo as a five-piece in 1993. While the band would go on to re-record most of these songs for their blasphemous full-length debut, Ungentle Exhumation already bore their unmistakable mark on death metal. “Gravaged: A Cryptopsy” is split open by the hair-raising screech and brutal barks of Lord Worm, while Flo Mounier flogs closer “Mutant Christ” with unhinged technical precision.

“Ungentle Exhumation was the first release in the band’s transition from Necrosis to Cryptopsy”, says drummer Flo Mounier. “It’s more death-metal type music. The songs have more blasts, more chunky grooves, and were recorded on good old analog, in one room, with all the musicians together!”

Season of Mist is reissuing Ungentle Exhumation on April 11, 2025.

Ministry Announces ‘The Squirrely Years Revisited’ Out 3/28, Celebrating The Early Synth Pop Years With New Studio Takes

Al Jourgensen is finally making peace with the past. After the incredible reception to Ministry’s With Sympathy and Twitch-heavy set at Cruel World 2024, Jourgensen decided it was time to reexamine his long-dormant synth pop hits and give them a fresh polish 40 years later. The result is the forthcoming album, The Squirrely Years Revisited, out March 28 via Cleopatra Records.

 

Featuring 9 tracks (3 additional bonus tracks on CD), the album offers reworked versions of cult classic hits like “Everyday Is Halloween,” “Work For Love,” “I’m Not An Effigy,” and “I’ll Do Anything For You.” New music videos will soon be released for several tracks as well.

 

To celebrate the album and the new-old era of Ministry, the band — also including John Bechdel (keyboards), Monte Pittman and Cesar Soto (guitars), Pepe Clarke Magaña (drums) and Paul D’Amour (bass) —will embark on The Squirrely Years Tour beginning April 29, with a set dominated by Jourgensen’s earliest works. Opening support will come from Ministry’s old-school comrades, including Nitzer Ebb for the first half of the tour, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult for the second half of the tour; and Die Krupps on all dates. Tickets go on sale this Friday, February 14 at 10 AM local time in each market.

 

“Since I hated my early stuff for decades, I decided to take ownership of it and do it right,” says Jourgensen.

 

The Squirrely Years Revisited follows the release of Ministry’s 16th studio album in 2024, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES, and comes ahead of the final new studio album from Ministry in 2026, a record that has Jourgensen teaming up with Paul Barker once again.

ABOUT MINISTRY

Born in 1981 in Chicago, Ministry has been the lifetime passion project of founder Al Jourgensen, considered to be the pioneer of industrial music. In its early days, Ministry was identifiable by its heavy synth-pop material in line with the new sounds and technology that were being developed in the ‘80s. Ministry’s output began with four 12” singles on Wax Trax! Records in 1981 before the first LP With Sympathy in 1983 via Arista Records. As time progressed however, so did Ministry, quickly developing a harsher, and more stylized sound that the band soon became infamous for on seminal albums Twitch (1986), The Land of Rape and Honey (1988), and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992), Ministry hit an all-time high in the mainstream musical realm and received its first Grammy nomination. In total, Ministry has been nominated for a Grammy award six times. Eight more albums would follow before an indefinite break in 2013, only to be unearthed again in 2018 with AmeriKKKant, continuing to reflect Jourgensen’s views on the frightening state of society and politics. The 2021 album Moral Hygiene marked a new creative era of Jourgensen and the band. Ministry’s 16th studio album, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES, was released March 1, 2024 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Comeback Kid Release Video for 20th Anniversary Version of Classic Song "Wake the Dead"

Winnipeg hardcore band COMEBACK KID are celebrating the 20th anniversary of their seminal album WAKE THE DEAD.

The band is releasing a re-recorded version of the title track of the record.

"The title track of our album Wake The Dead, which that we released two decades ago, provided us with more opportunities and brought us to more places around the world than we could have ever imagined," remembers singer Andrew Neufeld with fondness for how the album impacted the band's life and that of fans. "The song lands as the biggest moment in every single set that we've played — from Asia through South America to Europe, Africa, and North America."

He continues, "We wrote and recorded the song while I was still playing guitar in the band. After 19 years of being the vocalist, and singing the song every night, we would like to celebrate and commemorate a song that gave us wings that we never knew existed by re-recording it with our current lineup and with a fresh mix provided by Will Putney."

Watch the video for the re-done version of the song Below:

Neufeld finishes, "We will be releasing the single alongside an unreleased B-side from the original 2005 Wake The Dead recording sessions on 7", along with a number of variations of the full length re-pressed with new packaging!"

The 20th anniversary edition of the song was recorded by John Paul Peters and mixed and mastered by the aforementioned Putney.

Comeback Kid are also embarking on the album's 20th anniversary tour later this month. They will of course play the album in its entirety. It's no coincidence that the first show is in the band's hometown on the date of the original's release — February 22.
