Microtonal Project MAN RABID Launches Debut Single "Seven Days" + Official Music Video

MAN RABID, the boundary-pushing microtonal project from Swedish heavy metal musician Tony Jelencovich Aaberg (Transport League, M.A.N, Mnemic), proudly launches his debut single, "Seven Days."

“Seven Days” deals both lyrically and visually with the endless struggle of life in a world that constantly challenges and puts existence on its edge. In a lost world and when the flame of life is extinguished, another is lit. Through fire life is born, through life fire is lit.

Destroy, Erase, Improve.

Watch the Official Music Video for "Seven Days" Below:

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.

The band has signed a deal with Black Lodge Records and is set to release their highly anticipated third full-length album, 'Shadows Of The Dying Light,' at the end of 2025.

SARAYASIGN returns with the hauntingly cinematic third chapter in their ongoing musical saga: 'Shadows Of The Dying Light.'

Heavier, more intense, and more dynamic than ever before, the album preserves the band's signature cinematic rock sound while delving deeper into a brooding, atmospheric experience. Listeners will be immersed in thunderous riffs, sweeping soundscapes, and lush, evocative melodies—now shrouded beneath a darker sky.

The drums were recorded at the iconic Top Floor Studios in Gothenburg, powered by the explosive talent of Jakob Herrmann, the acclaimed drum producer known for his work with Devin Townsend, Evergrey, and others. Vocals were tracked at Popskolan in Stockholm, while guitars, bass, and keyboards were brought to life at Studio Sarayasound in Örebro, the band's creative stronghold.

This chapter marks a turning point, the band shares:

"With 'Shadows Of The Dying Light,' we're embracing the darkness in both story and sound. It's more aggressive, more cinematic, and more emotionally intense yet still undeniably SARAYASIGN. The melodies remain, but the shadows have grown longer."

Brace yourself for a cinematic rock experience unlike any other.

Chilean Thrashers NUCLEAR Release New EP - 'Violent DNA'

Today, Chilean Death/Thrash outfit NUCLEAR release their highly anticipated new EP 'Violent DNA' alongside a new video for "Siege of Power", a cover paying homage to the legendary Napalm Death.

NUCLEAR's seventh studio release, 'Violent DNA', brings devastating brutality to the table with three new rabid songs and three cover songs. This EP will transport you to the early 90s and won't release its grip until the final note fades. Thick-sounding guitars, insanely fast drumming, and non-stop deafening screams are the key ingredients for this perfect storm.

Standout tracks "Violent DNA" and "Psychological Infanticide" showcase the South American quintet's sonic hostility. Even before listening, the graphic and gruesome cover art captures your attention. Without a doubt, 'Violent DNA' will become a must-have for all metalheads in 2024.

This is something we cannot change: This is our 'Violent DNA'.

NUCLEAR states:

“Humanity has a dark, violent and ruthless side. From our very origins as a species, we have been part of a cruel demonstration of imposing ourselves with violence on others. That is how it has been and that is how it will continue to be. It is that sort violence that inspires this new release. It is our core, our past, and our future and there is nothing we can do to change it”.

STRÖM Release Their Self-Titled Debut Album!

One of this autumn's most anticipated Swedish rock 'n' roll records has arrived!

From the infectious opener “Tiden sjunger” to the closing heaviness of “Blodsband” this album really packs a punch, perhaps most notable in stand-out tracks such as the groovy “Vass tunga”, up-tempo rocker “Ta mig tillbaks” or the anthemic “Hatet”.

Lyric-wise it isn’t all fun and games however, the band touches a few subjects that are not very common in rock’n’roll lyrics. In “Gul & Blå” singer Zdravko Zizmond sings about the thankfulness he felt when arriving in Sweden as a kid, being born in Croatia. The massive epic of “Ensam är stark” has a lyric about the challenges and hardships of being left alone after a painful break-up, sung through the eyes of a single parent.

The band comments:

"Finally, it’s here! We are so pleased to give you STRÖM’s debut album that we have worked so hard to complete from the first chords to the last draw on the cover art. It’s been a fun ride and now we hope you wanna join us on this journey.

Like our name STRÖM, that means 'power' in English, we hope your heart will be strong and full of power!"

STRÖM Signs to Black Lodge Records - Release Video for New Single "Tiden Sjunger"

Black Lodge Records proudly presents their latest high voltage signing, STRÖM! Releasing the Swedish rockers debut single and music video today, with the self-titled debut album scheduled for release on September 23, 2022.

About STRÖM

If you know your rock’n’roll encyclopedia well enough you can easily map out from where this band cherry-picked their influences – such as for example The Darkness, Airbourne, AC/DC, Bon Jovi, or the way that Kiss sounded in the mid-to-late 80’s. And then we still haven’t mentioned any of the fellow Swedish compatriots (such as Hardcore Superstar, Pugh Rogefeldt, Magnus Uggla, Noice), neither have we referenced any Danish counterparts (D-A-D, Pretty Maids), or Norwegian for that matter (Turbonegro et al).

Here’s the catch though: Instead of sounding like any of all those acts in particular, STRÖM kind of sounds like all at the same time. All mixed into one giant concoction of honest, accurate, straight-forward, no-bullcrap, balls-to-the-wall, good-timin’ rock’n’roll.

Zdravko Zizmond (vocals), Calle Sjöquist (guitars), Johan Siljedahl (guitars), Joel Carnstam (bass) and Tomas Salonen (drums) have been playing together under the STRÖM banner for less than three years, but the debut album they’re putting out is a work of excellence.

When encountering a rock’n’roll band like the 5-headed powerhouse of STRÖM, you will never be able to escape the feeling that there’s a “before” and an “after”. That’s how it works – once your ears are exposed to something that you have never heard, but at the same time so damn good, you simply start asking yourself: “How the hell is it possible that no one has done this before?”

The first single, "Tiden Sjunger", is an instant rock 'n' roll banger with a music video filmed under cold sub-zero conditions in Vederslöv, Småland (Sweden) by Damón Zurawski who's previously worked with Stefan Sundström, Backyard Babies, Tribulation, Watain, Anna Järvinen, The Heard and Burnt Out Punks.

STRÖM's self-titled debut album is set for release on September 23, 2022.

Debut Album 'Resan' Coming April 15th

Nordic ambient folk solo project URFERD has released a new single from their upcoming debut album. The new track, "Avfärd", is available now and accompanied by a lyric video. Speaking about the single, Urferd mastermind Daniel Beckman comments:

"AVFÄRD (Departure) signifies the beginning of a journey - a long voyage filled with strife and hardships. It describes the woe of leaving loved ones behind, and entering the unknown vastness of the wilderness. Hope and glory beckons, but supplies are meager and the relentless cold is biting, as we make our way through the deep mountains and windswept woods of the north."

The debut album from URFERD, 'Resan' will see an April 15, 2022 release via Black Lodge Records.

A concept waiting years to emerge, URFERD officially saw the light of day in late 2020.

The first album, 'RESAN', will be released on Black Lodge Records in 2022, and is a musical odyssey in both a literal and figurative sense. The album takes the listener on a journey through dark and olden nordic forests; where strife and hardships follow in our steps, yet where the beauty and vastness of the solemn nordic landscape persists and permeates. From the album opening’s depiction of a serene morning’s dawn, to the closing track’s respite of a hearth at nightfall, RESAN traverses a multitude of captivating musical landscapes and themes throughout its eight songs. URFERD signifies the beginning of a new and additional musical chapter for its founder and sole member, Daniel Beckman (TWILIGHT FORCE, AGES), and brings a refreshing new perspective to the genre, challenging the boundaries of dark atmospheric folk music.

URFERD Releases New Single "Envig" - Debut Album 'Resan' Out April 15

Nordic ambient folk solo project URFERD has released the new single from their upcoming debut album. The new track, "Envig", is available now and accompanied by a lyric video. Speaking about the single, Urferd mastermind Daniel Beckman comments:

"The first half of the 'Resan' takes the listener across barren plains and through dark woods, but the end of the journey is now approaching. The only thing now standing in the way of resolution is battle. 'Envig' (meaning 'duel') depicts a deadly duel - a feud between two factions culminating in a fierce clash. Two combatants, two wills, and two swords locked in battle until only one stands victorious. Join the gathering of onlookers as the beating drums of war forebodes the coming bloodshed. Hear the cries and cheers as the bonfire smoke fills the night air."

WORMWOOD Release Deluxe Edition of New Album 'Arkivet' - Featuring Covers of Nick Cave & Loreena McKennitt

WORMWOOD have released three new bonus tracks on the Deluxe Edition of their newest studio album, 'Arkivet'. The deluxe version includes covers of Nick Cave's "The Weeping Song" and Loreena McKennitt's "Caravanserai", and is available for streaming now!

Commenting on the bonus tracks for 'Arkivet', the band says:

"The reason we picked 'Shipwrecked & Northbound' is because most of our listeners haven't heard our first EP 'The Void: Stories From the Whispering Well'. It was a time of experimentation and getting to know each other's styles. We picked this song specifically because it had fragments of that sound that we wanted to pursue. That sound led to the creation of Ghostlands. Now - years later we decided to re-make it with the knowledge, possibilities, and skills we lacked back then. It's a homage to the old and new.

Speaking on the two covers from the deluxe version, they add:

"The two covers on this deluxe edition were picked because they meant something deeply for some members of the band. Most people know Nick Cave and his mastery of words and music, but fewer know about the enchanting Loreena McKennitt. With our style and vision, we created these two covers with respect to their virtuosity but with our own twist!"
