BraveWords Records Announces the Signing of the TAZ TAYLOR BAND

BraveWords Records is pleased to announce the signing of the Taz Taylor Band. All of the Taz Taylor Band releases are now available to stream or download on Bandcamp at https://bravewordsrecords.bandcamp.com.

Guitarist Taz Taylor first came to attention when he released "Welcome To America" the debut Taz Taylor Band album in 2006. This album featured legendary vocalist Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, MSG, Alcatrazz) and was met with widespread critical acclaim. Over the next couple of years the band toured extensively in Europe and the U.K. Since then Taz has collaborated with other notables such as Mark Boals, Doogie white and Deep Purple keyboardist, Don Airey as well as maintaining a presence on the live scene in his adopted home of Southern California. 2025 finds Taz Taylor Band releasing their 8th album, "The Other Side Of Midnight." But this time there is a difference...a female vocalist!

Taz explains... "After we completed our last album (Nocturnal) with all of the guest vocalists, we needed to find a guy who could cover all of that material in the live setting. Well as it turns out, that wasn't as easy as we thought. In fact we had to turn to a girl instead!".

So into the frame enters Laura K. Vreeland.

Taz continues... "The cool thing about this is that after working with so many guest vocalists whilst still doing a lot of fully instrumental shows in between, this is actually the very first time that we have made an album with a vocalist who is actually IN the band! By the release of the album we will have been playing together for almost three years and the musical chemistry is incredible."

Giles Lavery, A&R. BraveWords Records, comments on signing the Taz Taylor Band, "I have known Taz for many, many years and I can absolutely say I am delighted to have him as part of the BraveWords family! My first awareness of Taz's great work was the "Welcome To America" album...which, thanks to Taz, was a strong comeback for Graham Bonnet at the time"

About TAZ TAYLOR:

In January 1997 UK-born Taz Taylor took a leap of faith and boarded a plane to Los Angeles with nothing more than a guitar, a backpack and roughly $2,000... 

He spent much of his first year in the USA as a long haul truck driver, criss-crossing the country countless times in an 18-wheeler and spending the downtime in his sleeper berth practicing guitar. Eventually he settled in San Diego CA and set about recording his debut instrumental album "Caffeine Racer" which was released in July 2004. A band was formed and live shows commenced. 


Caffeine Racer got the attention of legendary vocalist Graham Bonnet, most notable for working with the best guitarists in rock (Ritchie Blackmore, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai) and they set about recording the Taz Taylor Band album "Welcome To America" which was released on the UK label Escape Music in Aug 2006. 


International tours followed in 2007 and 2008, taking the band to UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary and Czech Republic.

In 2009 the band recruited another ex-MSG vocalist, Keith Slack for the "Straight Up" album, also on Escape Music, and also featuring a guest appearance from Deep Purple's Don Airey on keyboards.

2010 saw the band returning to Taz's instrumental roots with the release of "Big Dumb Rock" and the band played a string of dates to promote BDR opening for MSG (5 times), Uli Jon Roth (6 times), UFO (twice), Gary Hoey (5 times), Pat Travers (3 times), Dokken, Skid Row, Great White, Molly Hatchet, LA Guns (3 times), Lynch Mob, Wishbone Ash, Tony McAlpine (4 times), Alan Holdsworth, Ace Frehley, John 5 (4 times) and Eric Johnson.


In 2014 TTB released "Deja Voodoo", an all instrumental offering of eight songs and the band took to the road playing shows all across the UK as well as in California.


June 2017 saw the release of “Pressure And Time”. This album featured the vocal talents of Chandler Mogel and also the return of Taz’ acoustic guitar playing which featured prominently on 3 of the songs on this album, most notably on a complete re-working of “Highway Song” originally recorded by Blackfoot.

This album was released on Escape Music in Europe and on Rubicon Music in Japan. The Japanese version included a live bonus track, Explorations… recorded on the band’s 2014 tour in the U.K.

2019 saw the release of “Hats, Tats And Guitars”…Taz’ favorite Instrumental release!

2022 heralded a new beginning for TTB. Now managed by Giles Lavery Management and signed to new label Global Rock Records, TTB released “Nocturnal” an album of Melodic Hard Rock featuring a handful of world class guest vocalists including Graham Bonnet, Mark Boals and Doogie White amongst others and showcasing the continuing evolution of Taz’ guitar playing!

Melodic Death Metal Force SIGYN Signs to Noble Demon and Unleashes Lyric Video for "The Crawlers" ​

Finnish melodic death metal force SIGYN has officially joined the ranks of Noble Demon and are now unveiling their brand new single and lyric video "The Crawlers", taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore full-length album "From Nation To Chaos", set for release on July 10th.

Blending razor-sharp riffing, epic melodies, and relentless energy, "The Crawlers" showcases SIGYN’s trademark sound while also exploring slightly new sonic territory, further underlining the band’s evolving approach to modern melodic death metal.

 

Speaking about the track, guitarist Markus Suomela reveals:

"The starting point of the song differed from our earlier SIGYN material, and at first I wasn’t sure which direction it would take. However, the orchestration and keyboard parts composed by Valtteri brought exactly the right atmosphere to it, and now the track is one of my favorites on the upcoming album."

 

Watch the lyric video for "The Crawlers" below:

Originally formed in 2008 in Helsinki, SIGYN operate within what can best be described as "Epic Melodeath" - a powerful blend of heavy riffs, fast-paced aggression, and memorable melodies, occasionally enriched with symphonic elements. Drawing inspiration from the early 2000s Finnish metal scene, the band fuses intensity and atmosphere into a modern yet unmistakably classic melodic death metal sound.

 

Following their debut album "Dehumanized" (2023), which earned a spot in Kaaoszine’s "Top 10 Albums of the Year" list, SIGYN quickly established themselves as one of the rising names in the Finnish extreme metal underground. The album’s single "The Real Me" further expanded their reach, receiving airplay on both Radio Helsinki and Radio Rock.

 

With "From Nation To Chaos", SIGYN continue to refine their identity - combining soaring melodies, relentless riffing, and an epic sense of scale that will appeal to fans of Children Of Bodom, Wintersun, Arch Enemy, Nightwish, Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, and Cradle Of Filth.

Reflecting on the band’s new chapter with Noble Demon, Markus Suomela comments:"SIGYN is proud to join the Noble Demon family and to take this next step in our journey. It feels like a great home to our music, and we can’t wait to share what we have been working on. Exciting times ahead!"

 

Noble Demon CEO Patrick Walch adds: "Another Finnish band, yes. We could claim once again ‘it must be something in the water or in the mother’s milk in the land of the thousand lakes’, indeed. So, I can’t help but do it as the Finns would — be sparse with words and suggest you check out SIGYN’s first album single ‘Blind Prophet’, which is already out on all streaming services. Listen for yourself and you’ll understand why there is no way to get around this band in 2026. New album out very soon! Of course on NobleDemon \m/"

"From Nation To Chaos" will be released digitally on July 10 via Noble Demon and is available for pre-save at THIS LOCATION

Untitled With Drums Sign to Season of Mist and Share New Single "Matter"

Season of Mist is proud to welcome Untitled With Drums.

To celebrate their signing, Untitled With Drums are releasing a new single. “Matter” pushes the band’s hybrid of alt. rock and ‘90s post-hardcore to greater heights. The song speaks to the almost irrepressible need to exist for oneself, to put oneself above everything else and dominate one's own world. It calls out a reflexive tendency toward conflict and the relentless pursuit of superiority over others, as seen through a pathologically self-centered point of view—a satirical account of feelings we must each confront and tame within ourselves.

Stream “Matter” - Listen below

https://orcd.co/untitledwithdrumsmatter

No strangers to the specialist press or the festival circuit, Untitled With Drums have been together since 2014. The band released their debut album Hollow in 2020, just days before France's first COVID lockdown. Despite the timing, the record drew widespread praise before propelling the band to the stages of Hellfest 2022, the Nuits de Fourviere festival (opening for the Deftones and Baroness), and London's Desertfest. Their signing to Season of Mist marks the next chapter for a band that has spent the intervening years consolidating around their current four-piece lineup and sharpening everything that makes them distinct.

More information about Untitled With Drum’s next album is coming soon.

Black Lodge Records Announces the Signing of MAN RABID

Black Lodge Records announces the signing of MAN RABID, the boundary-pushing microtonal project from Swedish heavy metal musician Tony Jelencovich Aaberg, known for his work with Transport League, M.A.N, and Mnemic.

MAN RABID marks a bold new chapter in Aaberg’s career, diving deep into microtonality through the use of custom-built instruments tuned to a 19-EDO syntonic temperament. The result is a strikingly unconventional sound—warped riffs, dissonant grooves, and intense, visceral vocals that challenge the limits of traditional heavy music.

By stepping outside standard tuning systems, MAN RABID crafts a sonic landscape that feels both unsettling and forward-thinking, blending technical experimentation with raw aggression.

The project’s debut EP, ‘The Messiah Complex I,’ is set for release in 2026 via Black Lodge Records, promising a powerful introduction to this uncompromising new vision.

Nytt Land Sign with Season of Mist

Since forming in 2013 in Western Siberia, the shamanic family duo have followed a ritual path that’s guided by a living connection with ancient traditions and beliefs. During their formative years together, Natalia and Anatoly Pakhlaenko independently released three albums that established Nytt Land’s enchanting style, which is built around deep vocal techniques, throat singing, shamanic drums, tagelharpa, jaw harp, flutes, natural field recordings and hypnotic rhythms.

While signed to Napalm Records and later Prophecy Productions, Nytt Land shifted closer to the languages and indigenous spiritual traditions of their Siberian homeland. By continuing to explore vocal traditions, ancient percussion, organic soundscapes, archaic texts and incantations of the Manchu-Tungusic peoples, the duo strengthened their reinterpretation of Siberian shamanic musical heritage. Their new album, Aba Khan, was inspired by their travels across Siberia, where they encountered new landscapes and deepened their experience with the spiritual traditions of their homeland.  

Now, Nytt Land are continuing their journey with Season of Mist, where they join a roster that includes Heilung, Danheim, Garmarna, Eihwar, Sowulo, Vévaki and Kriigerkvlt.

“We’re proud to announce that we are joining the Season of Mist family”, Nytt Land says. “Throughout all these years, we have followed our own path, preserving the sincerity and essence of our music. We are ready to start this new chapter with a label that deeply respects traditions and authentic vision. The path continues!”

Catch Nytt Land on their current European headline tour and upcoming tour of Australia.

Nytt Land is a Siberian ritual / dark folk family duo founded in August 2013 by Natalia and Anatoly Pakhlaenko in the town of Kalachinsk, Western Siberia, on the banks of the Om River. Natalia and Anatoly author its music, visual language, philosophy and spiritual direction. Their art was born from life in Siberia and speaks in the voice of this ancient land: harsh, mystical, living and infinitely deep.

From the very beginning, Nytt Land developed as a family creative union in which music was perceived not simply as concert or studio art, but as a ritual path expressed through voice, breath, rhythm, silence and a living connection with the ancient traditions and beliefs of Siberia. The official description of the project defines Nytt Land as a “ritual path expressed through sound,” inspired by the traditional spiritual practices of the indigenous peoples of Siberia.  

The early period of Nytt Land was closely connected with northern mythology, ancient texts, archaic folk and world music aesthetics. During its first years, the band independently released the albums Nytt Land (2013), Hávamál (2015), and Sköpun: Songs from the Elder Edda (2016), followed by Fimbulvinter (2017) and Oðal(2018). These releases established the duo’s recognizable sound: deep vocal techniques, throat singing, shamanic drums, tagelharpa, jaw harp, flutes, natural field recordings and hypnotic rhythms.

 

Over time, Nytt Land gradually shifted the center of its creativity away from purely Northern European sources toward the band’s own Siberian homeland, languages and indigenous spiritual traditions. An important milestone became the album Ritual (2021) through Napalm Records. The album was presented as a deep immersion into ancient percussion and vocal traditions, while the band itself described its music as Shamanic Dark Folk.  

In 2023, Nytt Land released Torem, continuing their exploration of archaic texts, ritual atmosphere and organic soundscapes. In 2025, the band released Songs of the Shaman through Prophecy Productions — a work dedicated to traditional shamanic songs and incantations of the Manchu-Tungusic peoples of Siberia. This album became one of the band’s most significant steps toward the direct exploration and musical reinterpretation of Siberian shamanic heritage.  

The culmination of this creative direction is Nytt Land’s new tenth full-length album Aba Khan, released on February 20, 2026 through Prophecy Productions. The material for the album was inspired by a year of traveling across Siberia, where they encountered new landscapes, people and the real spiritual traditions of indigenous culture of their homeland. While echoes of ancient mythological sources remain present in the music, the focus increasingly shifts toward the languages, imagery and ritual worldview of Siberia itself. The band dedicated Aba Khan to the ancient, beautiful and immense land of Siberia.  

Today, Nytt Land is more than simply a musical act. It is a complete artistic world where sound, voice, rhythm, costumes, visual imagery and stage action merge into a unified ritual experience. The duo’s live performances are often perceived as entering a ritual circle: a space where the modern stage transforms into a meeting point with ancient memory, nature, spirits and shamanic breath.  

Lineup
Natalia “Baba Yaga” Pakhalenko - Vocals, Throat Singing, Drums, Flutes

Anatoly “Shaman” Pakhalenko - Throat Singing, Talharpa, Flutes, Jew-harp, Percussion

CARNIFEX Sign To Sumerian Records & Drop New Single “ROSES AND ROTTING CORPSES”

Southern California deathcore titans Carnifex have officially signed to Sumerian Records, marking the beginning of a powerful new chapter for one of extreme music’s most enduring forces. To celebrate the announcement, the band have released their brand new single, “Roses and Rotting Corpses,” stream the single HERE and watch the music video Below. 

For nearly two decades, Carnifex have occupied the darker edge of American deathcore, building a catalogue defined by punishing heaviness, blackened atmosphere and a visual world steeped in death, horror and the occult. Emerging from Southern California in 2005, Carnifex were seminal in shaping the genre’s first wave and have remained at its pinnacle since. 

With “Roses and Rotting Corpses,” Carnifex open the door on their next era. The track arrives with the weight and menace fans expect, but there is a renewed sense of intent behind it, a sharpened vision that pulls the band’s apocalyptic heaviness further into darkness while setting the stage for what comes next.

Speaking on the signing and new single, the band shares: 

“We’ve entered a new era of Carnifex, and I couldn’t be happier to do it with Sumerian Records. Carnifex and the team at Sumerian have parallel histories going back nearly two decades, so to finally be working together on what will arguably be our best album is an incredible feeling. Our new song ‘Roses & Rotting Corpses’ is just the beginning of this next chapter.”

For Carnifex, the move signals more than a label change. It marks a fresh creative phase for a band that continues to honour deathcore’s roots while expanding its atmosphere, extremity and emotional scope.

Known for their visceral live performances and relentless global touring history, Carnifex have become a fixture across death metal, black metal, metalcore and hardcore lineups, bringing their chaotic, emotionally charged sound to stages around the world. From packed clubs to major festival crowds, the band’s live presence remains one of the clearest expressions of what has kept them vital for two decades.

Carnifex are currently touring the US on the Chaos & Carnage Tour with Bodysnatcher, 200 Stab Wounds, Ingested, Gates To Hell, and Bodybox and will be playing Welcome To Rockville this weekend and Sonic Temple on May 14th. Remaining dates below. Tickets available HERE.

ABOUT CARNIFEX

Since emerging from the sun-scorched depths of Southern California in 2005, Carnifex have remained one of extreme music’s most uncompromising forces, a band that helped define deathcore’s first wave and has spent two decades pushing well beyond it. Blending blackened atmosphere, relentless aggression and emotionally charged songwriting, Carnifex have built a body of work that turns darkness into catharsis for a global audience.

That legacy runs through landmark releases including Dead in My Arms, Hell Chose Me, Die Without Hope, Slow Death, World War X and Necromanteum, each one pushing the band further into cinematic, melodic and blackened territory without sacrificing the crushing intensity that made them genre staples in the first place. Their music pairs apocalyptic heaviness with themes of grief, anxiety, isolation and survival, forging a connection with fans that runs far deeper than shock value or brutality alone.

Known for their devastating live performances and relentless touring history, Carnifex have become a pillar of modern extreme music, sharing stages worldwide with acts across death metal, black metal, metalcore and hardcore while headlining sold out tours and major festivals across the globe. Whether in intimate clubs or massive festival crowds, the band’s live presence remains visceral, chaotic and emotionally unfiltered.

Now entering a new era in 2026, Carnifex continue to expand the scope of what deathcore can be. With new a new label partner in Sumerian Records, new music on the horizon and a sharpened creative vision, the band stands as both torchbearers and innovators, honouring the genre’s roots while pushing its atmosphere, emotion and extremity into darker and more ambitious territory than ever before.

For Carnifex, heaviness has never been just about sound. It is about confronting the darkest parts of existence head on and forging something powerful enough to survive them.

FRONTIERS MUSIC SRL Signs THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT Featuring Stone Sour’s Josh Rand and Casandra Carson

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT, the dynamic collaboration between guitarist and songwriter Josh Rand (Stone Sour) and powerhouse vocalist Casandra Carson (Paralandra, Casandra’s Crossing).

This new partnership marks an important step forward for the band, bringing their musical vision to a broader international audience. With Frontiers Music Srl’s support and a new album on its way, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT is set to further expand its reach and continue building on its distinctive sound.

Josh Rand commented:

"I’m pleased to announce that THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT will be joining the Frontiers family. It was important to me to be on a label that wanted to be cutting edge in the industry, but still have that mom and pop relationship with the artist. I’m looking forward to working with Jeff and Tom to bring THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT to our loyal fans!”

Jeff Stevenson, General Manager at Frontiers Label Group, added:

“We’re incredibly proud to welcome THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT to the label. From the moment we heard the new music created by Josh and Casandra, it was clear they continue to bring a unique vision and emotional depth that aligns perfectly with our mission here at Frontiers. We’re excited to partner with them and help bring their artistry to a larger global audience.”

Born from a shared musical vision and an undeniable creative chemistry, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT represents a fresh and compelling artistic union. While Rand had long envisioned launching a female-fronted project, it wasn’t until 2020 - when a mutual connection introduced him to Carson - that the idea truly began to take shape. What started as an exploratory collaboration quickly evolved into something far more meaningful, laying the groundwork for a project driven by purpose and artistic synergy.

Musically, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT fuses Rand’s signature heavy riffs and affinity for strong melodic hooks with Carson’s commanding and versatile vocal delivery. Drawing inspiration from classic metal, thrash, and progressive influences, the project channels the raw energy and spirit that first inspired Rand to pick up the guitar, while offering Carson the opportunity to explore new sonic and emotional territories.

Over time, the band has crafted a distinct sound that balances intensity with accessibility, underpinned by a natural creative partnership. Their material reflects a thoughtful and organic development process, allowing ideas to evolve freely and cohesively.

Lyrically, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT sets itself apart by venturing beyond traditional rock themes, embracing broader narratives and concepts. Their songs often draw from history, social issues, and real-world tensions, exploring themes such as empowerment, resistance, and societal challenges. This approach adds depth and substance to their music, complementing its powerful sonic foundation.

Wailin Storms Sign to Season of Mist

Season of Mist is proud to welcome Wailin Storms.

Born the son of a church pianist and Baptist preacher, Justin Storms founded Wailin Storms in his hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. After a pass through New York City, the band settled in Durham, North Carolina, where they’ve caught fire with their noisy explosions of Southern gothic rock. Together, the four-piece throw raw-boned blues punk, the gothic country of 16 Horsepower and the howling desires of Nick Cave into a raging fire that’s fed by the bones of a dead god.

Wailin Storms’ four studio albums have been showered with high praise from NPR, Brooklyn Vegan and Metal Hammer. Their third full-length, Rattle, was featured by The Needle Drop and named one of the best albums of 2020 by Treble, Riff Magazine, Angry Metal Guyand Machine Music.  "When someone asks me my favorite active bands, I always mention Wailin Storms”, Sean Frasier wrote for Decibel upon the announcement of the band’s previous album, The Silver Snake Unfolds. “[…] their music is heavy, their lyrics haunting, and their live show furious”.    

Now, fresh off sharing the stage with Acid Bath, Eyehategod and Black Tusk, Wailin Storms are fanning the flames with reckless abandon ahead of their soon-to-be-announced fifth album. Recorded by Matt Talbott of Hum in full analog, their first offering for Season of Mist promises to deliver a fiery baptism of Southern gothic rock.

“Our upcoming album was forged in the fires of love, death, fear, anxiety and other pangs of the heart”, Justin Storms says. “The songs draw from blues, folk, punk and metal, as well as René Magritte, Flannery O’Connor, David Lynch and my own obsession with fire as a kid. With Season of Mist’s backing, we are excited to bring its dark and fiery message to a wider audience across the international stage”.    

                                          Watch a simmering sneak peak from the album below>

Hot on the heels of critical high praise and thunderous applause from crowds on both sides of the Atlantic, Wailin Storms are ready to fan their flames with reckless abandon.

Kriigerkvlt Sign to Season of Mist with New Single "Mahakala"

Formed in 2025, Kriigerkvlt is a new collective that features Heilung founding member Kai Uwe Faust and members of the Heilung warrior choir. The collective debuted live on stage in Copenhagen alongside industrial doom raver John Cxnnor and the occult feminist black metal band Witch Club Satan with an exclusive premiere of their collaborative song “Hypothermia”.    

Kriigerkvlt is not tied to a specific cultural identity, historical time period or genre. They explore a wide range of expressions: harsh gutturals, throat singing, drone, piano, harp, marimba, guitar and nyckelharpa. No matter what form they take, their focus remains rooted in intensity, atmosphere and the spirit of collaboration.  

To commemorate their signing to Season of Mist, today, Kriigerkvlt are releasing their first official single. From its opening bells, “Mahakala” ventures deep into a realm of fire, only to emerge transformed after a confrontation with one’s shadow self.

“We are excited to announce our signing with Season of Mist”, Kriigerkvlt vocalist Kai Uwe Faust says. “We have seen firsthand how the label has supported Heilung’s artistic freedom. As a flexible collective that specializes in extreme vocal textures and unconventional soundscapes, we felt that was also important for Kriigerkvlt”.

“In an age where sacred symbols are often commercialized or stripped of context, Kriigerkvlt stands apart”, Faust continues. “‘Mahakala’ is not a spectacle. It is a call to confront the hidden forces within us all, not through blind violence, but through awareness, discipline and transformation”.

Watch the music video for “Mahakala” below:

Stream “Mahakala”

https://orcd.co/kriigerkvltmahakala

“Mahakala” invokes a wrathful deity from Tibetan Buddhism. But even though his appearance is frightening, Kriigerkvlt reveal that Mahakala is not evil. Instead, their new single is a reminder that the real enemy lies within ourselves. “Our attachments, our delusions, our inner chaos, these are the shadows Mahakala consumes in his black fire”, Faust says.

Kriigerkvlt approach “Mahakala” with deep respect. The song is not an act of cultural appropriation but a deeply felt offering. Martial drums, ritualistic chanting, harsh vocals, heaves of bass, fragile piano and choral singing come together to honor what Mahakala truly represents. Long before his appearance in Buddhism, he was revered amongst the Bön shamanic tradition as a spirit of protection and wild nature. His black skin represents absorption, swallowing duality, illusions and all sense of fragmentation.

“Kriigerkvlt taps into Mahakala not as outsiders, but as seekers of the same fire that burns in every human tradition”, Faust says. “The song is intense, raw and uncompromising. It evokes the confrontation with the shadow self, the spiritual warrior’s path and the dissolving of the ego”.  

The video for “Mahakala” was directed and filmed by Kai Uwe Faust. It was edited by Christian Medea and Anda Lupulet.

The Artery Foundation Signs Srata, Band Drops "SOAR"

THE ARTERY FOUNDATION is thrilled to welcome California's gold-selling rock band STRATA to the roster. The band, which had a massive hit with "Piece by Piece," which earned its RIAA certification after being featured on the 2004 The Punisher soundtrack and an appearance on Madden NFL 2005. In the '00s, Strata built a devoted following on soaring melodies, cinematic heaviness, and emotionally unfiltered songwriting, a sound that blurred the lines between post-hardcore intensity and atmospheric modern rock long before genre boundaries began dissolving across the scene.

Today, the band shares its first single for the label with "SOAR." The track, which was produced by Eric Ron (Papa Roach, Bad Omens), does exactly that, thanks to rising and falling tension and angular guitar work. Listen below.

This isn't a nostalgia play. It's forward progress at its finest.

"'Soar' captures the collapse of someone who once felt untouchable, tracing that fall from clarity and confidence into doubt, temptation, and self-betrayal," says singer Eric Victorino. "It's a dark spiral where faith glitches, identity fractures, and the pull of the algorithm becomes impossible to ignore. Equal parts confession and confrontation, the song wrestles with the most human truth of all: sometimes the person you trust the least is yourself."

Expect more from Strata sooner rather than later!

Fronted by vocalist Eric Victorino, whose unmistakable voice moves effortlessly from fragile intimacy to explosive power, Strata carved out a reputation for music that feels both deeply personal and undeniably massive. Now, decades into their career, Strata aren't revisiting who they were; they're redefining who they are. The band has re-emerged sharper and more focused, channeling years of life experience into a sound that is stronger, faster, heavier, and more energetic than ever.

Rather than chasing trends, Strata has leaned into evolution, expanding their sonic palette while staying rooted in the emotional authenticity that first defined them. The result is a band operating at full power: seasoned musicians with nothing to prove and everything to say.

Strata isn't a reunion story. It’s a continuation. Louder, bolder, and very much alive.

Archers Drop Visualizer for Dynamic New Single "Say So"

FEARLESS RECORDS recently welcomed rising Wisconsin-based rock bandARCHERS — Nathanael Pulley [vocals], Ben Koehler [guitar] and Grayson Mesarosh [drums] —to the label's global roster.

Fresh off their winter tour supporting Nothing More and Catch Your Breath, Archers drop another banger! They have shared the visualizer for new single "Say So." Below.

Co-written and co-produced by Erik Ron (Bad Omens, From Ashes to New, Motionless in White) and Jon Eberhard (I Prevail, Wind Walkers, Hollywood Undead, Sleeping with Sirens), the song deftly demonstrates the band's mastery of dynamics. The moody verses collide into the explosive and frenetic choruses and a ballistic breakdown, making for a overall thrilling listen.

"'Say So' is a song about the frustration of knowing a relationship is coming to an end," offers the band. "Knowing that and wanting to rip the band-aid off instead of simply waiting for the inevitable."

Archers are returning to the road this month, heading to Europe for a run of performances. All dates are below. They will also appear at Welcome to Rockville in the U.S. next month, in addition to Inkcarceration in July and Louder Than Life in September.

"SAY SO" follows "THE DIRT," the band's debut single for the label.

9/17 — Louisville, KY — Louder Than Life

SANCTUARY Officially Signs to BLKIIBLK

Legendary American heavy metal band SANCTUARY is proud to announce their official signing to BLKIIBLK. To celebrate, the band returns with a powerful new chapter in their storied career: the brand-new single “Not Of The Living.” A new lyric video comes along with the track and is available to view below.

On the signing to BLKIIBLK, SANCTUARY founder Lenny Rutledge comments:

"SANCTUARY is really excited to sign with BLKIIBLK. We are looking forward to working with our new team to bring future SANCTUARY music to metal fans all over the world!"

"Not Of The Living" marks SANCTUARY’s first new material since the passing of original vocalist Warrel Dane and stands as a bold statement of rebirth as they celebrate 40 years of uncompromising heavy metal.

Mike Gitter, Global Head of A&R for Frontiers Label Group and BLKIIBLK Label Head, exclaims:

“We’re excited to be working with SANCTUARY. Already a legendary band, in 2026, they’re building upon that legend and taking it one step further. When [European head of A&R] Aldo Lonobile and I heard the songs, they had begun recording for their first full-length since their last full-length ‘The Year The Sun Died’ [2014], it was clear, SANCTUARY were back making some of the most vital music of their career.

"Vocalist Joseph Michael (Witherfall) has stepped in for the late Warrell Dane (Nevermore) and carried the ball magnificently. Lenny Rutledge (SANCTUARY founding guitarist) is not only taking SANCTUARY’s legacy forward, but it already feels like he’s intent on exceeding it."

Produced and mixed by acclaimed producer Zeuss (Queensrÿche, Metal Church, Rob Zombie, and Witherfall), “Not Of The Living” captures SANCTUARY’s classic blend of dramatic songwriting, soaring melodies, and crushing riffs while delivering a modern sonic impact. The track also features a blistering guest guitar solo by Jake Dreyer (Witherfall, Demons & Wizards, Iced Earth).

Joseph Michael, vocalist for SANCTUARY, shares:

“The band and I are very happy to announce our partnership with heavy metal's PREEMINENT record label BLKIIBLK! We hope you enjoy this new chapter in the history of SANCTUARY. We look forward to bringing you new music while also honoring the past.”

BANK ARCADE DROP VIDEO FOR COMEBACK SINGLE "SEVERANCE"

Arising Empire have never been ones to play it safe—but with their newest signing, they've doubled down on something far more volatile. Enter Banks Arcade and their ferocious new single "Severance": A track that doesn't just blur genre lines — it tears them apart and leaves the pieces smoldering. Watch the video Below:

Built on a collision of punishing metalcore, glitchy electronic textures, and the swagger of modern hip-hop, "Severance" feels less like a song and more like a system overload. It's aggressive, cinematic, and calculated chaos—exactly the kind of statement you'd expect from a band that has never acknowledged the idea of staying in one lane.

And Banks Arcade didn't arrive here by accident. What started as a project between two best friends—shaped by wildly different worlds spanning jazz academia and professional MMA—has evolved into one of the most unpredictable forces in modern heavy music. Their sound reflects that tension: Precision meets violence, control meets collapse.

Over the past few years, the band has carved a path from Southern Hemisphere outsiders to global contenders. They've sold out headline runs across Australia and New Zealand, while stepping onto some of the biggest stages in heavy music, including Download Festival, and touring alongside genre leaders like Northlane, Thornhill, and The Plot in You. Each tour tightened their grip on an international audience that thrives on exactly this kind of forward-thinking aggression.

"Severance" captures that momentum at full speed. There's a maximalist intensity running through the track—industrial electronics colliding with downtuned riffs, hooks that feel like they've been dragged through a rave at 3 am, and a sense that everything could fall apart at any second, but never does. It's controlled destruction.

What makes Banks Arcade hit differently, though, is the intent behind it all. Born out of constant relocation, reinvention, and the kind of struggle that either breaks you or rebuilds you into something sharper, the band operates with a clear purpose: redefine what "heavy" even means in 2026.

With Arising Empire now backing the project, "Severance" isn't just a new single—it's a warning shot. Banks Arcade aren't here to join the scene. They're here to rewire it.

Graphic Nature Announce Century Media Signing And Release New Single "Faceless" And Official Music Video

London quartet Graphic Nature have returned with new single, "Faceless", a feral slab of nu-metalcore, digging into identity, pressure and the urge to strip everything back. It leans into that raw, cathartic side of the band while keeping things direct and grounded. The release, the band’s first for new label home Century Media, lands just ahead of their one-off London headline show on April 30th. "Faceless" is a track to sit with when things feel a bit too real, or simply just to play loud and get out of your head for a minute.

“'Faceless' is the beginning of the new era of Graphic Nature,” states frontman Harvey Freeman. “We spent a lot of time working on what we wanted to get out of the new sound, our collective influences helped pave the way for what we've created. We are pleased to announce this single will be released via our new record label Century Media.”

Graphic Nature are fast becoming one of the most uncompromising voices in modern heavy music, fusing the grit of nu-metal with the weight and precision of contemporary metalcore. Since emerging with their debut album ‘A Mind Waiting To Die’ (2023) and its follow-up, ‘Who Are You When No One Is Watching?’ a year later, the band have built a reputation for crafting visceral, groove-driven tracks that channel frustration, identity and the pressure of modern life into something raw and immediate.

With a growing live presence and a string of increasingly confident releases behind them, Graphic Nature are stepping into their next chapter with purpose. Leaning further into heavier textures and sharper conceptual ideas, the band continue to refine a sound that feels both familiar and forward-thinking, positioning themselves as one of the UK’s most vital and confrontational new heavy acts. Stream "Faceless" here and watch the official music video below.

FLESHCRAWL Sign to Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music, Unveil New Single "Blood Dominion"

The long-established German death metal ensemble FLESHCRAWL has signed a worldwide deal with Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music. The signing marks a new chapter as the band prepares to unveil their tenth studio album, Epitome of Carnage on June 12, 2026. FLESHCRAWL's obliterating new single "Blood Dominion" marks the first release under this collaboration, following a series of prior releases that saw select DMG roster artists issued via Reigning Phoenix Music.

On the single release, FLESHCRAWL comments: "Choosing 'Blood Dominion' as our first single is a statement. It is the ultimate teaser for what this album delivers: no mercy. It captures the very essence of FLESHCRAWL - fast, raw, and straight to the point. An uncompromising and pure reflection of what that band is about." The band continue, "We didn't want any long-winded intros or other stuff - we wanted to hit the ground running and go straight all in. From the second you put this on, you know exactly what’s coming: pure, rough chaos. That was always the plan."

"Blood Dominion" is unforgiving in its brutal nature. Striking ferociously with untamable rhythms, thunderous percussion and bloodthirsty vocals, "Blood Dominion" offers a thrilling display of unrestrained intensity that makes a clear statement. 

The long-awaited Epitome of Carnage is constructed on the foundation of an expansive career. FLESHCRAWL remain devoted to the death metal genre despite having encountered loss and change along the way. As the tenth full-length release, the new album stands as testament to FLESHCRAWL's unwavering creativity and drive. Arriving seven years after 2019's Into the Catacombs of Flesh, Epitome of Carnage reveals a renewed vigor and power that bleeds through the track list. 

Contained within Epitome of Carnage are twelve vicious onslaughts that showcase FLESHCRAWL's unimpeded speed and power. Materializing alongside demonstrations of inescapable heaviness, explosive riffs, and melodic touches amongst the shadows, they leave behind no survivors. 

Epitome of Carnage is set for release on June 12, 2026. Pre-order Epitome of Carnage here: https://fleshcrawl.rpm.link/epitomePR

Frontiers Music Srl Announces Signing of NELSON

Today, Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of legendary melodic rock duo NELSON to the label’s roster. The band, led by master songwriting twin brothers Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, will also appear at the upcoming Frontiers Rock Festival on Sunday, May 3, 2026, further strengthening their renewed partnership with the label.

The band comments:

“We’re honored to re-join the Frontiers family. NELSON’s now classic 'Lightning Strikes Twice' was the first release for Frontiers in America when the label opened up their US office years ago- and as such, we’ve always felt like a valued part of the team. NELSON is and has always been truly unique - and our family at Frontiers has always valued that, as well as our exhaustive process to write, record, and produce world-class albums that endure the test of time.”

“We’re honored to reconnect with a roster that celebrates melodic rock music with such passion. We can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on and to deepen our connection with our fans around the world. Be warned: the new NELSON record is amazing,” they add.

Mario de Riso, A&R and Business Affairs VP at Frontiers, shares:

“It is an absolute thrill to have NELSON back to the Frontiers roster. Matthew and Gunnarhave a very special place in the history of melodic rock, and their talent, identity, and consistency as artists continue to shine. Their music represents the kind of quality, emotion, and craftsmanship we deeply believe in. We look forward to sharing this new music with their loyal fans and with a new generation of listeners.”

Matthew and Gunnar Nelson have built a career that truly stands the test of time. Rising to global prominence in the early 1990s with NELSON’s multi-platinum debut 'After The Rain,' the twins topped the Billboard Hot 100 with “(Can’t Live Without Your) Love And Affection,” earning a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. With seven Top 40 singles, five #1 MTV videos, and over 6.5 million albums sold worldwide, NELSON became a defining force of their time.

Deeply rooted in one of America’s most storied entertainment families, Matthew and Gunnarbring a rare perspective to longevity in music. Their grandparents, Ozzie and Harriet, made television history with “The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet,” while Ozzie also pioneered early music-video concepts long before MTV. Their father, Rock & Roll Hall of Famer Ricky Nelson, sold over 200 million records and helped found the country rock genre. Carrying this legacy forward, the twins have consistently evolved and continue to connect with audiences across generations through authenticity, craftsmanship, and heart.

Beyond music, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson have also become best-selling authors with their book “What Happened To Your Hair?”, adding another dimension to their creative journey.

Today, Matthew and Gunnar Nelson continue to explore fresh creative territory, carrying forward their unmistakable melodic sensibility and soaring sibling harmonies. With a career defined by reinvention and longevity, NELSON remains a vital presence on the rock scene.

The Artery Foundation Signs SAGE + Bands Shares "Deep End" Video

THE ARTERY FOUNDATION is proud to welcome SAGE to its global roster.

To celebrate the partnership, the band has shared the video for new single "DEEP END." Watch it below.

SAGE, who hail from the fertile musical grounds of New Jersey, were founded in 2023. Comprised of vocalist Mike Rafter, vocalist and guitarist James Benedetto, guitarist Chris Coletti, and drummer Nick Perrone, the members connected over a shared passion for timeless rock with a more modern energy and quickly forged a sound that feels both nostalgic and new.

That connection is evidenced in "Deep End."

"'Deep End' is really about breaking free from someone who keeps trying to pull you back into their chaos," says Benedetto. "It's about setting boundaries, standing your ground, and reclaiming your power after being hurt. It uses that 'deep end' metaphor to represent consequences. At some point, you have to let people face the tide on their own in order to learn. We actually flew out to L.A. to work with producer Hiram Hernandez, and that experience took the band's sound to a whole different level. He helped bring so many ideas to life and really pushed us to be our best selves when writing. We're pumped on what we created together."

In 2024, SAGE released their debut EP, Heartwired, marking a major milestone in the band's journey. The EP showed off the band's natural talent in songwriting, helping to expand their audience and build momentum throughout the scene. It also introduced listeners to their unique blend of heavy riffs, melodic hooks, and heartfelt lyrics, proving that they are a band to look out for.
Looking to spread positivity and good vibes through their music, SAGE aim to remind the world of the healing power of music and the importance of self expression. With high energy live performances and a genuine connection to their fans, the band continues to grow, evolve, and make their mark.
