Swollen Teeth Release Latest Single "Foster" + Official Music Video (via Blowed Out Records)

Swollen Teeth have today unleashed their emotionally charged new single "Foster" and the accompanying music video (via Blowed Out Records). Amidst punishing grooves and haunting melodic tension, the track highlights an often overlooked topic in modern heavy music: the importance of a safe home, particularly for children. Today's release is taken from the band's forthcoming new album 'Ask Nothing', out on Friday, September 5 and produced by legendary producer Ross Robinson (Korn, Glassjaw, At The Drive In) and Slipknot's Sid Wilson. When asked about the inspiration behind "Foster", the band commented:

"Home is a place where you feel safe and plant your roots deep enough to grow. We want to provide a permanent home for feelings and emotions. Every child deserves to know they are loved, protected, and cared for unconditionally."

Stream "Foster" at the link here, and watch the official video below. Pre-save 'Ask Nothing' here and pre-order the vinyl here, first pressing limited to 300 copies.

Don't miss your chance to see Swollen Teeth at their newly announced show in Old Town, Maine, on Saturday, July 5, before hitting the stage at this year's FEQ Festival in Quebec on Monday, July 7 and Inkcarceration 2025 in Mansfield, OH, on Saturday, July 19.

ABOUT SWOLLEN TEETH

The sound, the look, the atmosphere, the lore. Swollen Teeth are as much a ritual as a performance, summoning primal ferocity in clouds of intrigue with a thundering rumble. Each musical outburst arrives shrouded in mystery, enveloped by a sense of dread, with passion and purpose. Heavy percussion, riffs, punk gang chants, dive bombs, turntables, breakdowns, shrieks, guttural screams, and powerfully unashamed anthemic melodies coalesce in Swollen Teeth. The collective absorbs the raw intensity of the most potent subculture and spits it back with a determined uniqueness. They’ve spent countless hours in the lab, lobbing out occasional missives online like Molotov cocktails. Each of the scattered, chopped-up, and explosive clips unleashed to the world, culled from a handful of shadowy live appearances, built anticipation for the group’s inevitable ascension. They travel in our dimension but are not of it. This is otherworldly chaos without apology.



Swollen Teeth burst onto the scene in 2021 with their self-titled EP, a visceral blend of brutality and raw emotion that garnered praise from heavy music outlets and fans alike. Singles "EMPTY", "LETHAL" "CAR CRASH" and "SWOLLENTEETH" showcased their unpredictable, frenetic energy, which Revolver Magazine described as "brutal as hell." with Metal Hammer enthusing that "there’s an air of grotesque nu metal nastiness that feels like a re-vamped take on the misanthropic nihilism of Iowa’s finest." and Kerrang! musing "What's really heavy, masked, mysterious, sounds like it was made by complete lunatics, and involves Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson and producer Ross Robinson?."

TALLAH Add Experimental Twist To Nu-Core Roots With New Single, "augmented"

Following the chaos of their last two singles, Tallah return with “augmented”—a brutal, groove-heavy offering that throws back to their nu-core roots while flexing the wild experimentation that defines their upcoming album Primeval: Obsession // Detachment, out September 5 via Earache Records. Watch the official music video now below. Listen to the track on DSPs HERE.

Bassist Max Portnoy, who made the creative leap from drums to bass for this album, shares:

“Probably the most ‘nu-core’ track on the record. It feels very reminiscent of where we came from but still steps into the sonic world of Primeval, with acoustic guitars and live strings at points. The experimentation is sprinkled on every song this album. I also wrote ‘Augmented’ at the peak of my slap bass interest, and it made for the most intricate bass track in our discography. So many weird techniques crammed into this one. It’s a bitch to play.”

Commenting on the official music video, Portnoy continues

"In the studio, we wanted to use Josh's VHS camera to film some cool content, and we decided on 'augmented', as it was the first song we jammed together as a unit for this session. It was the song that really got us situated and in the right headspace for this record, so it made sense to film the studio video of this track."

The new track is Tallah at their most rhythmically unhinged—toggling between jagged grooves, acoustic breaks, and dense basswork that cements Max’s evolution as one of heavy music’s most creative rhythmic masterminds. Paired with Justin Bonitz’s raw, one-take vocal performance and a recording process that scrapped all editing and click tracks, “augmented” captures the primal, chaotic energy that’s earned the band over 29.7 million Spotify streams and 66 million YouTube views to date.

Like its predecessors “What we know” and “A primeval detachment,” “augmented” also ties directly into the album’s layered sci-fi narrative. The concept follows two characters, Ana and Sheelah, on a morally destructive journey across an alien world. Fans can dive deeper into the lore through The Primeval Game, a playable story-world that’s updated monthly with new clues, song teasers, and narrative expansions. Explore the game, built in collaboration with Enzo Interactive at primevalgame.com

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment arrives September 5 via Earache Records. Tracked completely live with no edits or safety nets, it’s Tallah’s most dangerous and defining work to date.

ABOUT TALLAH

Emerging from Pennsylvania in 2018, Tallah fuse the percussive force of second-generation drummer-turned-bassist Max Portnoy with the unpredictable dexterity of vocalist and viral phenom Justin Bonitz and the phenomenal guitarist duo of Derrick Schneider and Alex Snowden to form a sound that’s part brutalist nu-metal, part theatrical meltdown, and entirely their own. What began as a raw homage to the early-2000s metal they were raised on—Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park—has since evolved into something far stranger and far more singular.

After making waves with their 2020 debut 'Matriphagy', a twisted concept album soaked in trauma and noise, the band were hailed by Knotfest as delivering “one of the best metal releases of the year” and by Metal Hammer as “leading the charge on the new wave of nu-metal.” The follow-up, 'The Generation Of Danger' (2022), saw them push their hybrid sound further into chaos—earning millions of streams, high-profile festival slots, and nominations at both the Heavy Music Awards and AIM Independent Music Awards.

But it’s on album three, 'Primeval: Obsession // Detachment' (out September 5, 2025 via Earache Records), that Tallah truly shatter what’s left of the mould. Decamping to Michigan to record the entire project live with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the band abandoned edits, clicks, backing tracks, and rules. What remains is pure instinct—feral, volatile, and unrelentingly human.

Conceptually, the record unfolds across a sci-fi narrative that follows Ana, a nurse, and Sheelah, an assassin—two strangers manipulated by a shadowy force and driven to the edges of their morality. The mirrored structure, warped sonic callbacks, easter eggs and ambiguous lyrical layering reflect a story full of tests, dualities, and spiraling identity shifts.

To date, Tallah have clocked up 29.7 million Spotify streams and 6 million YouTube views.

Wind Walkers Release New Music Video "Eating My Heart Out" (via Fearless Records),

Genre-blending metalcore outfit Wind Walkers have today released the official music video for their poignant new track "Eating My Heart Out" (via Fearless Records), directed by Alex Kouvatsos at Blackwolf Imaging. Speaking about the inspiration behind the song, vocalist Trevor Borg commented:

"This song captures the guilt, feeling of distance and identity conflict that comes with life as a musician and being on the road. You can feel such a divide in identity, having to be what your career needs and who your family needs at the same time. I’m sure this song will resonate with people dealing with turmoil in a relationship, but I truly wrote this song to be a portrait of guilt in having uncertain dreams, with the intent to resonate with other artists and people who share the same conflicts. I also intended for it to serve as a message to the fans and lovers of music about the sacrifices that go into the art form they hold so dear to their heart."

Prior to today, the quintet announced signing with Fearless Records and dropped "The End Aesthetic" through their new label home which has clocked up 164k views and counting on YouTube and nearly 1.2 million streams on Spotify alone. Watch "Eating My Heart Out"  below, and stream the track here,

ICE NINE KILLS: Score First RIAA Certified Gold Single & Drop New Live Album on DSPs

As they continue slashin’ their way through the GOLDen age of the Silver Scream, playing to sold-out crowds across the US on their  Silver Scream-A-Thon headline tour and at stadium dates with Metallica, Ice Nine Kills are celebrating yet another huge career milestone with the news that they have officially earned their first RIAA-certified gold single for the 2018 fan-favorite “A Grave Mistake.” Inspired by The Crow and taken from their smash hit album The Silver Scream, the track has now surpassed 100 million streams, cementing its place as one of the band’s most resonant and enduring releases. Watch the official music video for “A Grave Mistake” Below. 

In an unusually worded, somewhat robotic statement, Ice Nine Kills creative mastermind and frontman, Spencer Charnas shares 

"I am filled with human emotions after ingesting the data that my musical ensemble has achieved a golden status for the very first time. Programmed with a hauntingly harmonic minor cadence, 175 bpm, and a 3/4 time signature, it sufficiently garnered more than half a million sales equivalents."

Fans can also hear the band play the freshly minted gold single on their brand new live album, I Heard They Kill Live 2, available digitally today HERE. Captured during their sold-out home state show at the Tsongas Center in Lowell, MA on November 17, 2022, the record showcases the phenomenal energy of the band’s meticulously ferocious live performances, with an all-killer-no-filler setlist that spans the staggering array of mega-hits from seminal albums The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome To Horrorwood . Full tracklist below.

Charnas adds further context with the following statement

“Captured in optimal performance conditions during a sold-out operation in the geographical region of Massachusetts, this album contains high-energy sonic outputs calibrated for maximum efficiency. As a result, these auditory data files will undoubtedly prove supremely satisfactory to the devoted Ice Nine Kills user base, aka, the Cyclos!”

All of this unfolds as the band continues their landmark, sold-out  Silver Scream-A-Thon tour—an immersive two-night headline event celebrating their cult-classic albums The Silver Scream and The Silver Scream 2: Welcome to Horrorwood. The band is also playing to stadium audiences on Metallica’s M72 World Tour, and will launch their own Hell of A Summer US headline tour beginning August 10, joined by Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, The Funeral Portrait, and Mest. Tickets and VIP packages available HERE.

In this rare, in-depth sit-down, Spencer talks about his journey into horror, getting banned by Disney, scrapped storylines for the “A Work of Art” music video, and more. 

"Two months ago, I had a conversation with my colleague and spiritual mentor, the renowned music and pop culture journalist, Ryan J. Downey of Nazareth,” reads a post on Spencer’s official X account. "We discussed musical pursuits as well as the challenges and hardships of life.”

The full FIRE w/ FIRE episode can be watched in full HERE.

SHADOW OF INTENT Drop New Single & Music Video "Mechanical Chaos"

With just weeks to go before the release of their most ambitious album yet, Shadow of Intent drop “Mechanical Chaos,” the fourth single from upcoming new album Imperium Delirium, out June 27 via Blood Blast Distribution. Watch the official music video below and pre-order the album or stream the new track here.

Driven by an unrelenting barrage of dissonant riffing, symphonic unease, and unflinching lyrical focus, “Mechanical Chaos” is the band at their most sonically and ideologically severe. Vocalist Ben Duerr offers the following statement:

“Mechanical Chaos was written to confront the cold, dehumanized reality of modern warfare—one increasingly shaped by the rise of drone technology. As unmanned systems redefine the battlefield, we find ourselves at a crossroads of power, ethics, and consequence. They have become the equalizer of nations. But with this shift comes a new era of destruction—one marked not by strategy, but saturation. The result is a battlefield soaked in attrition, where both sides bleed endlessly and blindly. Mechanical Chaos doesn’t celebrate this evolution—it laments it. It’s a cry against the dehumanization of war, where soldiers are reduced to dots on a screen, and civilians caught in the crossfire become collateral in a game of endurance.

The future hinted at in our music is not distant—it’s already unfolding. This song is for the forgotten, the vaporized, and the haunted—those left beneath the specters above.”

Lyrically and thematically, Imperium Delirium continues Shadow of Intent’s descent into the real-world horrors that define our past and foreshadow our future. From mythic allegory to modern bloodshed, the band’s subject matter confronts the sickness of empires, the seduction of violence, and the machinery of death that fuels it all. As always, the sound is enormous—melding symphonic grandeur, blackened melody, razor-sharp technicality, and punishing breakdowns into a style that remains utterly their own. The three previously released singles from the album - 2024's "Flying The Black Flag", "Feeding The Meatgrinder" feat Corpsegrinder and "Infinity of Horrors" have clocked up 1.4 million views on Youtube and 4 million streams on Spotify alone.

Since their formation in 2014, Shadow of Intent have garnered a reputation for crafting mind-blowingly technical, prog tinged symphonic deathcore. Widely acknowledged as one of the forerunners of the current deathcore renaissance, the band's debut album 'Primordial' was named as one of Revolver Magazine's '15 Essential Deathcore Albums', with Metal Sucks giving their 2019 album 'Melancholy' a perfect 5/5 review, stating "you can expect Shadow of Intent to send echoes across metal for as long as they feel like making music". To date, they amassed over 203 million streams, 64 million YouTube Views and have 460,000 monthly listeners on Spotify.

Following the album release, the band will hit the road this fall with Lorna Shore, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Enterprise Earth for one of the year’s most anticipated deathcore tours. Full dates below with tickets available HERE

HANABIE. Drop New Track "Spicy Queen" + Official Music Video via Sony Music Japan

Harajuku-core trailblazers HANABIE. are bringing the heat on their new single "Spicy Queen" and the official music video (via Sony Music Japan). Taking inspiration from experiences on their recent US co-headlining tour with Kim Dracula, today's release is in celebration of the band's 10-year anniversary and is a counterpart to the fan-favorite track "We love sweets". When asked about "Spicy Queen", vocalist Yukina commented:

"The song 'WE LOVE SWEETS,' which we released in 2021, has become a gateway track for listeners to discover our music. It’s a very meaningful track for us. As time has passed and we have matured, we thought, “Let’s make a spicy version of the song!” during our tour. Inspired by the famous “Nashville Hot Chicken”, we decided to create this new rendition that features a spicy and stimulating musical progression. It also has an addictive quality that will make you want to ‘eat’ (listen to) the track on repeat!"

Guitarist and vocalist Matsuri said:

"This song was born during our U.S. tour from the sudden thought, "Let’s create a track that marks our 10th anniversary year.” It’s also the first track we crafted collaboratively as a band through constant discussions and was incredibly fun to make!! We included plenty of moments for our fans to shout along with us, designing the track with the vision that all the parts will come together during a live performance. So, we hope you listen to it a lot and come join us at our live shows!"

Bassist Hettsu also added:

"To celebrate our 10th anniversary year, we created this song that captures the essence of HANABIE.! It’s a track where everyone can shout together during the chorus and has parts that pay homage to our past songs. We feel it encapsulates the 10 years of HANABIE.! Listen to it a lot and let’s sing this track together at our live shows!"

HANABIE. drummer Chika shared:

"This song was created through discussions among us during our U.S. tour and marks the milestone for the band’s 10th anniversary year! My favorite drum phrase is in the second verse, where the rhythm alternates every measure between on-beat and off-beat! Aside from the drums, I also love Matsuri’s vocal slides at the beginning of the second verse! I hope everyone will shout along with us during the chorus when we perform at live shows."

Prior to today, the quartet released the official music video for "Tasty Survivor", the featured ending theme song for the anime series 'Momentarily Lily', available for streaming now on Crunchyroll, after releasing their latest EP 'Bucchigiri Tokyo'. Stream "Spicy Queen" here, watch the official music video, and be sure to stay tuned for more exciting HANABIE. news coming soon.

STARACE Announce Debut Album With New Single "When The Light Has Gone"

Brazil’s genre-blurring rock trio StarAce are proud to announce their debut full-length album Real due out this fall, with the release of their electrifying new single “When The Light Has Gone.” Listen to the new track HERE and watch the accompanying lyric video below.

Following the anthemic hope of debut single “My America,” StarAce shift into darker, swaggering territory with “When The Light Has Gone,” a hypnotic shuffle that channels heartbreak through a haze of syncopated, seductive elegance. Described by the band as “an outrage with class,” the track fuses the unruly spirit of early rockabilly and gypsy jazz with their signature rock ’n’ roll roots. In singer/guitarist Julio’s words “Imagine Post Pop Depression-era Iggy Pop jamming with Django Reinhardt in a smoky backroom bar.”

Driven by theatrical swing, jagged edges, and vivid storytelling, “When The Light Has Gone” tells the story of love lost—and the strange, lucid clarity that follows. It’s a song about letting go, without losing the joy of what once was. With its bruised glamour and rhythmic pulse, the single sets the tone for a record that’s as emotionally complex as it is sonically adventurous.

Raised in São Paulo, Brazil, and shaped by a household soundtracked by everything from The Beatles and Zeppelin to Metallica and Muddy Waters, brothers Julio, Luiz, and Thomaz Starace make music built on contrast: light and dark, melody and muscle, joy and survival. Their debut album, produced by David Frangioni (Aerosmith, KISS, Ringo Starr), dives deep into that duality—balancing fun and fire with depth and soul.

With each track, the brothers showcase a different side of their collective identity:

• Julio Starace (vocals/guitar): The band’s emotional compass and principal songwriter, channeling Dylan-esque storytelling with a modern bite.

• Luiz Starace (bass): The groove anchor, blending McCartney-like melodicism with rhythmic precision.

• Thomaz Starace (drums): A powerhouse percussionist and producer whose dynamic approach fuses Bonham grit with Brazilian flair.

StarAce aren’t here to save the world—they’re here to give fans the soundtrack to save themselves. Their music is both an escape and a reckoning. It’s rock ‘n’ roll that remembers its roots, but isn’t afraid to wander off into darker alleys, swing a little harder, and come back swinging.

Their debut album, Real is set to arrive this fall, with more music and live dates to follow. For StarAce, this is just the beginning.

ABOUT STARACE

StarAce is more than just a band—it’s a brotherhood of sound and spirit. Hailing from São Paulo, Brazil, brothers Julio, Luiz, and Thomaz Starace have spent years refining their craft, creating a distinct fusion of classic rock, blues, and American roots music with a modern edge. Raised in a household filled with music, their early exposure shaped their passion for storytelling and musicianship. After experimenting under various names like Ferrorama and Ted Marengos, they ultimately returned to StarAce, a name that embodies both their family heritage and artistic evolution.

With influences spanning a who's who of rock 'n' roll legends such as Led Zeppelin, Bob Dylan, The Rolling Stones, and Muddy Waters, StarAce’s music is a blend of raw energy, intricate vocal melodies, and heartfelt lyricism. Their sound bridges past and present, layering soulful guitar riffs, grooving bass lines, and dynamic drum beats with emotionally driven storytelling. Their upcoming debut album, produced by David Frangioni (Aerosmith, KISS, Ringo Starr), captures this fusion of classic and contemporary, delivering a collection of hard-hitting anthems and soul-stirring ballads that showcase their depth as musicians.

Each member brings a unique essence to the band’s chemistry—Julio leads with his powerful vocals and intricate guitar work, drawing from the greats like Neil Young and Jimmy Page. Luiz anchors the rhythm section, blending Paul McCartney’s melodic sensibilities with Geddy Lee’s technical prowess, while Thomaz commands the drums with precision, balancing raw energy and a refined flare with a producer’s ear for sonic excellence.

With their roots deeply embedded in classic rock and their vision set on the future, StarAce is ready to carve their own path and bring timeless rock ‘n’ roll into a new era. They're not here to save the world, they're here to bring people together and provide fans with the soundtrack to their own salvation. After years of refining their vision and sound, their long-awaited debut album, Real, is a bold, genre-spanning statement from a band ready to leave their mark on the world.

WE CAME AS ROMANS Drop New Single "no rest for the dreamer"

Fresh off their explosive performance at Welcome To Rockville, metalcore vanguards We Came As Romans have released their brand new single, “no rest for the dreamer,” today. Debuted live in front of a sea of delighted fans this past weekend, the track continues the band’s powerful new era—first introduced by their previously released anthem “Bad Luck” —and further sets the stage for the band's upcoming Bad Luck World Tour. Stream "No rest for the dreamer" HERE and watch the accompanying visualizer below.

The track continues the defiant, emotionally charged new chapter the band kicked off with “Bad Luck”— their first release of 2025— and raises the stakes yet again. Rooted in perseverance, ambition, and the refusal to be broken, “no rest for the dreamer” is a raw and unrelenting anthem for anyone still clawing toward something better.

“This song is for the ones still fighting for their future,” says frontman Dave Stephens. “The ones who can’t sleep because they’re not done yet. It’s about carrying the weight of your past, knowing you’re still not where you want to be—but refusing to stop anyway.”

Built on a pummeling riff and one of the band’s most hauntingly melodic choruses to date, the song’s lyrics confront internal trauma, self-doubt, and the compulsion to run straight into the storm: “So why are you standing in the rain? What do you want to wash away?”

The release follows the huge momentum of “Bad Luck”, which launched the band's new 2025 chapter with a thunderous statement of resilience. With a stacked schedule of touring, festival appearances, and more new music ahead, “no rest for the dreamer” is both a battle cry and a brutal reckoning.

We Came As Romans hit the road this summer for the Bad Luck 2025 World Tour, beginning with a huge North American run on July 22 in Toronto and wrapping August 23 in Detroit, followed by an extensive European/UK leg in the fall. North American support includes After The Burial, Currents, and Johnny Booth, with Brand of Sacrifice joining for Europe. Tickets for the tour can be purchased HERE.

The band will also appear at major festivals Warped Tour, Inkcarceration and When We Were Young, reinforcing their role as one of heavy music’s most vital live acts.

ABOUT WE CAME AS ROMANS

We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still—effortlessly moving between metal, alternative, hardcore, and rock.

The Michigan-born five-piece—Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—first broke through with Tracing Back Roots (2013), which cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit #1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.

Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band has continued to honor his legacy with their 2022 album, Darkbloom, their highest-praised record to date. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend.” It featured career-defining tracks like “Black Hole” (ft. Caleb Shomo), now over 102 million Spotify streams, and “Daggers” (ft. Zero 9:36), which surpassed 32 million streams. Media outlets including Loudwire and Consequence praised the album for its emotional range, sonic heft, and unapologetic vulnerability.

Now, with “Bad Luck” and “no rest for the dreamer” the band charges into a new era—scarred, sharpened, and more fearless than ever.

ICE NINE KILLS: Hell of A Summer US Headline Tour

ce Nine Kills have announced the ICE NINE KILLS: HELL OF A SUMMER TOUR, a brand new US headline run kicking off this August. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will bring the band’s twisted theatricality and cinematic carnage to arenas and amphitheaters across the country, closing out with a homecoming performance at Worcester’s DCU Center as part of the band’s annual Silver Scream Con.

The tour’s lineup spans a cross-section of modern heavy music’s most dynamic voices. From August 8 through August 31, Ice Nine Kills will be joined by Dayseeker, Kim Dracula, and The Funeral Portrait. Beginning September 2, pop-punk cult icons Mest will also join the bill, continuing through the final dates in Florida. The September 13 show at Silver Scream Con will feature Dayseeker, The Funeral Portrait, Mest, and a very special guest appearance by A Loss for Words, closing out the run in chaotic style.

Spencer Charnas, vocalist and creative architect of Ice Nine Kills, shares:

“The HELL OF A SUMMER TOUR will be a celebration of all things INK — past, present, and future.

It’s an eclectic bill, and having MEST on some of the shows is a particularly full-circle moment for me. As many Psychos will remember, I formed the band after seeing Goldfinger and MEST in Worcester 25 years ago.

The date is so important to me that I have it tattooed behind my ear.

The tour culminates in a sure-to-be historic performance at the DCU Center, where I experienced some of my first arena shows as a kid, including the Family Values Tour with our current tourmates, Limp Bizkit, and home of the Silver Scream Con.

The HELL OF A SUMMER TOUR’s last stop, at the Silver Scream Con, will also feature some New England punk rock royalty as a very special guest.”

Tickets will be available starting with an artist presale via Ice Nine Kills 'Psychos Only’ app, beginning Monday, May 19 at 11am ET / 8am PT. Additional presales—including Citi, Live Nation, Spotify, Knotfest, and more—will run throughout the week. The general on sale begins Friday, May 23 at 10am local time at IceNineKills.com/tour.

Rising metaphysical metalcore powerhouse The Pretty Wild has today unleashed their powerful new track "Omens" and the accompanying visualizer, with an official music video to follow (via Sumerian Records). When asked about the track, Jylshared:

"'OMENS' is an anthem for those done performing. Our song calls out the masks we all are subconsciously conditioned to wear to survive in life and the tragic loops they lead us into. It's about finally choosing inner truth over applause, and the painful realization that to find true coherence, the mask must be ripped off, along with the life, lies, and illusions built around it.”

Tallah Release Heaviest Song To Date - 'A Primeval Detachment'; Accompanying Music Video Out Now

One of modern metal’s most unpredictable forces, Tallah, have dropped their latest single, “A primeval detachment,” from the forthcoming album Primeval: Obsession // Detachment, out September 5 via Earache Records. A sonic gut punch that heralds the start of the album’s second act, the track barrels into the darker depths of the record with no warning and absolutely no mercy.

The accompanying music video captures Tallah’s live insanity in all its sweat-drenched, limb-flailing glory. Shot in an underpass packed with fans, the video showcases the band in their natural habitat—raw, unhinged, and erupting with volatile energy like Mt. Vesuvius on steroids. At one point, frontman Justin Bonitz is seen hanging upside down from the ceiling mid-scream. Watch the video now below. The track will go live on streaming platforms from midnight, fans can pre-save it HERE.

Speaking on their latest single, Tallah share

“This is not only the heaviest entry on the record, but potentially the heaviest in our entire discography. It’s relentless, top to bottom. Acting as the opening track of Act 2, the intro to the song really sets the tone. The pretty string quartet from Act 1 is falling apart, and the album takes a much darker turn. The final breakdown of this track is going to be a highlight at live shows, guaranteed.”

Elaborating on the music video for “A primeval detachment”, Max Portnoy shares:

“Shooting this video affirmed one thing for me… We have the best fans. So many people rolled up to this random underpass on short notice. We had our friend pull up with a truck full of scaffolding, and we weren’t sure if the shoot would be shut down after 15 minutes of setting up, but our fans jumped in to help set up and tear down everything as fast as possible. Legitimately could not have done this video without them.”

In true Tallah fashion, the band has also launched The Primeval Game, a playable extension of the album’s concept designed in collaboration with Enzo Interactive. The immersive web-based experience drops players into the alien world that Primeval: Obsession // Detachment takes place in, and is updated monthly with new story content, song teasers, and hidden easter eggs. Play the game HERE. Speaking on the game, Justin Bonitz shares

“The ‘Primeval’ Game is a way to fully immerse yourself into this album. You get to interact with the world we’ve created and follow the story first hand. We’re updating the game every month, with new content that furthers the story, along with tons of album and song teasers and easter eggs scattered around. It’s a really fun and unique way of promoting an album that I’m surprised more bands aren’t doing.”

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment is Tallah’s third full-length—an uninhibited, ferocious concept record tracked entirely live with no click and no edits, just pure, unadulterated sonic chaos. Pre-order bundles are available now HERE.  Primeval: Obsession // Detachment arrives September 5th via Earache Records.

ABOUT TALLAH

Emerging from Pennsylvania in 2018, Tallah fuse the percussive force of second-generation drummer-turned-bassist Max Portnoy with the unpredictable dexterity of vocalist and viral phenom Justin Bonitz and the phenomenal guitarist duo of Derrick Schneider and Alex Snowden to form a sound that’s part brutalist nu-metal, part theatrical meltdown, and entirely their own. What began as a raw homage to the early-2000s metal they were raised on—Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park—has since evolved into something far stranger and far more singular.

After making waves with their 2020 debut 'Matriphagy', a twisted concept album soaked in trauma and noise, the band were hailed by Knotfest as delivering “one of the best metal releases of the year” and by Metal Hammer as “leading the charge on the new wave of nu-metal.” The follow-up, 'The Generation Of Danger' (2022), saw them push their hybrid sound further into chaos—earning millions of streams, high-profile festival slots, and nominations at both the Heavy Music Awards and AIM Independent Music Awards.

But it’s on album three, 'Primeval: Obsession // Detachment' (out September 5, 2025 via Earache Records), that Tallah truly shatter what’s left of the mould. Decamping to Michigan to record the entire project live with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the band abandoned edits, clicks, backing tracks, and rules. What remains is pure instinct—feral, volatile, and unrelentingly human.

Conceptually, the record unfolds across a sci-fi narrative that follows Ana, a nurse, and Sheelah, an assassin—two strangers manipulated by a shadowy force and driven to the edges of their morality. The mirrored structure, warped sonic callbacks, easter eggs and ambiguous lyrical layering reflect a story full of tests, dualities, and spiraling identity shifts.

To date, Tallah have clocked up 29.7 million Spotify streams and 6 million YouTube views.

ABOUT WE CAME AS ROMANS

We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still—effortlessly moving between metal, alternative, hardcore, and rock.

The Michigan-born five-piece—Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—first broke through with Tracing Back Roots (2013), which cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit #1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.

Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band has continued to honor his legacy with their 2022 album, Darkbloom, their highest-praised record to date. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend.” It featured career-defining tracks like “Black Hole” (ft. Caleb Shomo), now over 102 million Spotify streams, and “Daggers” (ft. Zero 9:36), which surpassed 32 million streams. Media outlets including Loudwire and Consequence praised the album for its emotional range, sonic heft, and unapologetic vulnerability.

“Bad Luck” is the next step in their journey—an anthem born of loss, scars, heart, and unrelenting drive.

Wind Walkers Drop New Track "The End Aesthetic" + Official Music Video With New Record Label Home Fearless Records

It's a great day to be a Wind Walkers fan! Today, the genre-blending metalcore powerhouse made their triumphant return with their new single "The End Aesthetic" (produced by Nick Matzkows and Jon Eberhard) and the official music video. Furthermore, Wind Walkers announced signing with their new label home, Fearless Records. When asked about the inspiration behind today's track, the band shared:

“I think that lyrically this song ended up being a lot more self-observant than I had intended it to be. I started with the chorus which is more of an outward projection, expressing the feeling that everyone is hiding something about themselves. Whether that be hidden anxieties, fears, or vices. As I wrote more, this song kind evolved into something that looked more inward. It talks about my own issues with numbing to distract myself from how sick the world is and asks the question, “Was our environment designed to make us feel this way?”

Stream "The End Aesthetic" at the link here, and watch the music video  below.

Coinciding with today's release is the band kicking off their tour alongside Memphis May Fire, Caskets, and Elijah on The Shapeshifter Tour beginning tonight in Little Rock, Arkansas, and performing at fan-favorite festivals Sonic Temple and Welcome To Rockville.

We Came As Romans Return With Defiant New Anthem "Bad Luck"

Beloved metalcore torchbearers We Came As Romans are back today with a searing new single, “Bad Luck”. The track marks the band’s first release of 2025 and kicks off a bold new chapter following their critically acclaimed 2022 album 'Darkbloom'. Fueled by thunderous grooves, anthemic hooks, and raw reflection, “Bad Luck” is a statement of defiance from a band that’s weathered more than most. Listen HERE and watch the visualizer below.

Speaking on their new single, frontman Dave Stephens shares

“Bad Luck is a song that is so important to each of us. Lyrically, it’s about our journey as a band since the very beginning. We’ve faced so many setbacks and problems behind the scenes, and sometimes it feels like Bad Luck is all we have — but the way that we’ve persevered through all of them to become who we are today is the real story, not the issues along the way.”

“Bad Luck” opens with an eerie, looped vocal sample before exploding into a hammering riff and a soaring chorus. The lyrics lay bare years of struggle, survival, and growth, culminating in another of their signature, arena-ready choruses -  “I spent all my life wondering why the bad luck always comes so easy… All this time, I’ve realized the worse things in life are free.” It’s a fierce reckoning with everything the band has persevered through together and a hard-earned rally cry—one that captures the essence of We Came As Romans’ evolution and unwavering commitment to push forward.

With performances already announced at major US summer festivals including Welcome To Rockville, Inkcarceration, the returning Warped Tour, Louder Than Life and When We Were Young and with plenty more news to come from We Came As Romans, 2025 is shaping up to be another stellar year for a band that have remained a defining force in heavy music for almost two decades. Keep an eye out for more coming very soon.

NEVEN Eyewear Founder & Fit For An Autopsy Guitarist Launch SIGHT FOR SOUND Initiative

Touring is a grind. Long drives, little sleep, and gruelling schedules. For many musicians and crew, it also means no health care and no vision coverage. That’s why independent brand NEVEN Eyewear has launched Sight for Sound a new initiative providing free glasses - prescription, non-prescription, eyeglasses or sunglasses from their collection of 66 different frame styles, and 6 different lens colors -  to U.S.-based touring musicians and crew. No catch. No red tape. Just support from people who’ve lived it.

If you’re a U.S.-based touring or music industry professional and work on 75+ shows per year, you’re eligible. Just head to neveneyewear.com, choose the pair you want, then submit your request via the very simple form HERE. Once approved, you’ll receive your free pair, shipped with no strings, no red tape and zero hassle. Those who meet the criteria but are not US-based can apply for non-prescription glasses or sunglasses but are not eligible for prescription glasses at this time. 

The program is created by company founder Jonathan Strauss and Pat Sheridan, one of the founding members and guitarist for Fit For An Autopsy and NEVEN’s Director of Partnerships. Born out of the passion and authenticity of the NJHC scene, NEVEN isn’t a corporate eyewear brand playing dress-up in band shirts. It was built by lifers—for lifers. Strauss and Sheridan grew up in the scene, attending shows and playing in their respective bands, whilst everyone around them hustled to make their dreams a reality with no access to healthcare. Sight for Sound is their way of giving back.

“A lot of people think musicians or people in the industry are living the dream, but what they don’t see is the reality behind the scenes — no health care, no safety net. And when a tour ends, the realities of life kick in fast.:” Says Strauss “We started Sight for Sound because we wanted to change that, even in a small way. This is the least we can do — to support a community that often gets overlooked once the lights go down.”

“Our Sight for Sound program is life-changing for musicians and crew members,” adds Sheridan. “I’ve been in the Extreme Music Scene since the 90s, and vision has never been addressed before. Musicians aren’t offered a 401K plan, health insurance or vision benefits. It’s an honor to save music industry professionals thousands of dollars a year.”

NEVEN eyewear prescriptions are fulfilled in partnership with Robertson Optical Laboratories, the largest independent optical wholesaler in the U.S. and every pair is covered by NEVEN’s Everlast Guarantee: if they’re lost, broken, or stolen, they’ll be replaced—no questions asked.

NEVEN Eyewear embodies the same passion, determination and DIY ethos as the culture that has shaped its founder. Strauss started the brand with his wife, in the bedroom that would become their daughter’s nursery hand packing orders. Since then, NEVEN has grown to a $30 million-a-year brand, shipping millions of pairs of glasses whilst always staying true to its core: make durable, affordable, and good-looking eyewear for real people. 

Their frames are inspired by life on the road. Look closely, and you’ll find the brand’s signature three tildes (~~~) etched into every pair, symbolizing air, land, and sea—wherever the road takes you.

“Metal fans can smell bullshit from a mile away,” says Strauss. “NEVEN doesn’t fake it. We’re not some polished, corporate eyewear brand trying to be edgy. We’re real people who built this brand from the ground up, with grit, heart, and a DIY mentality that mirrors the energy of the scene.

With artist collaborations from names like Zach Johnson (The Ghost Inside), Tanner Wayne (In Flames), Gary Holt (Exodus/Slayer),Tony Foresta (Municipal Waste), and Phil Sgrosso (Saosin), NEVEN is already a trusted name in the heavy music world. Sight for Sound is their next step in building something even bigger and giving back to the community that shaped them.

ABOUT NEVEN

NEVEN Eyewear was born from a moment of frustration—a lost pair of expensive sunglasses during a jet ski ride—and built with a mission to make high quality, functional and stylish sunglasses, prescription eyewear, blue light glasses and accessories that are both durable and affordable. Customers can choose from, 594 design options within the NEVEN Eyewear collection. The line features 66 different frame styles, and 6 different lens colors: clear, black, brown, coastal blue, rose-pink and silver. 

Inspired by the palindrome "Never Odd Or Even," it is based on a mission to encourage customers to explore new horizons, no matter how they get there.” NEVEN Eyewear is based in Melbourne, Florida. Today, they have shipped millions of glasses, their growth being fueled by authenticity and customer loyalty -  not hype.

NEVEN blends design, and purpose to serve real people with real lives. Millions of glasses later, the brand remains committed to the same values: no BS, no pretension, and no compromise on quality.

The “Hollywood Forever (Funny Man Remix)” is a gritty, genre-blending rework of the fan-favorite anthem—an unmistakable tribute to Los Angeles, the city firmly rooted in the DNA of all three artists. The track seamlessly blends explosive rap verses that trade off between Funny Man’s laid-back swagger, Lefty Gunplay’s raw charisma, and N8NOFACE’s signature punk-meets-rap delivery, building in intensity before culminating in the original track’s epic chorus.

ABOUT LEFTY GUNPLAY

Lefty Gunplay sheds light on another path. He knows how easy it is to link up with the wrong crowd, get into trouble, and wind up behind bars—especially in a neighborhood like Baldwin Park where he grew up in Los Angeles. He’s living proof that your environment doesn’t have to define you. In less than a year, he returned home from prison and launched his rap career into the stratosphere. He broke through with prolific musical output, intense live shows, and a guest spot on Kendrick Lamar’s blockbuster GNX. Entangled in the streets, he spent a total of 19 years of his life in prison. However, he made a decision to change once and for all in 2024. He turned heads with “Blvd Babies” and dropped his first tape Rookie of the Year. He picked up the pace with Famous Gangbanger and Pre-Season in addition to collaborating withJeremih and OHGEESY. He popped off with Most Valuable Gangbanger, including “What The West Bout” [feat. Snoop Dogg]. Lamar also handpicked him for “tv off,” which exploded to the tune of 455 million Spotify streams, captured #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and went platinum. During 2025, Santa Fe Klan tapped Lefty Gunplay for “Lumbre” and welcomed him to perform live during Calibash. Now, he continues to push forward on his album, Can’t Get Right [EMPIRE], and more to come. Full bio HERE

ABOUT N8NOFACE

A self-described “Cholo goth father,” N8NOFACE has carved his own lane in the underground with a fierce blend of synth-punk, hip hop, and industrial no wave. Born in Tucson and based in Los Angeles, his prolific output and raw energy have earned him cult status and a growing audience of genre-agnostic listeners. N8’s latest LP Bound to Let You Down continues his streak of uncompromising releases that reflect real-life struggle and creative rebellion. Full bio HERE

WITHIN DESTRUCTION Release New Album 'ANIMETAL', Drop Video for New Track "HIDE & SICK

Slovenian cyber-metal disruptors Within Destruction have officially unleashed their highly anticipated new album, ANIMETAL today via Sumerian Records. Alongside the release, the band has dropped a brand-new music video for the track “HIDE & SICK,” further pushing their vibrant, hyper-stylized ANIMETAL universe into overdrive.

Listen to ANIMETAL HERE

Watch the video for brand new track “HIDE & SICK” below.

Speaking on today’s release, drummer Luka Vezzosi shares:

“We believe that Animetal is our most authentic release to date—a true fusion of who we are as individuals smashed together into a cohesive, high-energy experience. At its core, the music is still metal, but we’ve pushed the boundaries of borrowing and blending elements from other genres to make things even more dynamic, unpredictable and exciting. We hope listeners can connect with it and enjoy the ride as much as we had while writing it.”

True to its name, ANIMETAL delivers an audio-visual blitz of glitchy brutality, trap-influenced breakdowns, and J-pop-inspired earworms—all wrapped in the band’s signature aesthetic. With each track, Within Destruction expands their genre-defiant sonic palette while maintaining a core heaviness that anchors the chaos.

ANIMETAL features previously released singles including “CYBERGIRL,” “KANASHIBARI,” “DEMON CHILD,” and the emotionally charged “INCOMPLETE.” The album sees Within Destruction continue their streak of evolution, seamlessly weaving in clean vocals, gutturals, electronic and anime inspired flourishes, and a flair for the theatrical.

Stream the album and purchase accompanying merch bundles (including the infamous instant noodles) are available now at https://sumerian.lnk.to/animetal
