FLESHCRAWL Release Video For "Chapel of Guts" Alongside New Album 'Epitome of Carnage'

FLESHCRAWL unveil a torrent of ferocious bloodshed, chaos and power in their tenth studio album, Epitome of Carnage, out now via Distortion Music Group (DMG) - Powered by Reigning Phoenix Music. Accompanying the full length release is a rampage of gloom in the new music video for "Chapel of Guts".

On "Chapel of Guts" FLESHCRAWL share, "with 'Chapel of Guts' we wanted to showcase the full spectrum of our sound. This track stands out from our more classic Swedish Death Metal tracks, making it the perfect contrast to the other singles and the album as a whole. It's a short break from the more straight-forward tracks, offering a more dark contrast."

"It digs a bit deeper into the Fleshcrawl roots, combining heavy, doomy passages with intense blast beats and a lot of dynamics. It captures that darker atmosphere we wanted to have on the record. It is Death Metal with a room to breathe and then to choke."


On the writing process the band explain, "We didn't force it into a specific direction; we just let the track develop its own flow and energy during the writing process."

A foreboding darkness awaits in "Chapel of Guts". A haunting, enveloping atmosphere swells and hurriedly subsides as the pace increases and intensity rises. As the heaviness ebbs and flows through chaos, it's ferocious brutality leaves nothing in its wake. 

Watch "Chapel of Guts" Bellow:

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.

BLOODHUNTER Release New Album 'Sons Of The Abandoned'

Spanish melodic death metal powerhouse BLOODHUNTER have officially released their brand-new studio album “Sons Of The Abandoned” via ROAR - A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music.  

Marking this milestone, the band are not only kicking off a run of Spanish live dates alongside CRYPTA , but are also premiering a brand-new music video for “Masters Of Deceive”, one of the album’s most dynamic and emotionally charged tracks. 

Guitarist Dani Arcos comments: "This song is insane. We mixed guttural and melodic vocals, slow and melodic choruses with the most extreme riffs on the album... and there's even a recorded piano that you only realize has been there the whole time at the end of the song."

Vocalist Diva Satánica adds: "This song includes my very first clean backing vocals in BLOODHUNTER. I really wanted to give it a try because it represented the eternal disappointment of people trying to pull out from me a different version of myself but which I didn’t really feel identified with as a vocalist. This song speaks about toxic environments and how hard is to step out from there to follow your own path. It was the first song that we wrote for this album: it goes from a very dramatic chorus to the most enraged verses, to represent the complex dynamics in a relationship."

Formed in Galicia, BLOODHUNTER have steadily carved their name into the international extreme metal scene through relentless touring, uncompromising sound and a clear artistic vision. Fronted by Diva Satanica, the band blends extreme metal aggression with melodic depth, groove and narrative ambition, forging a sound that is both ferocious and emotionally charged. 

Since their inception, BLOODHUNTER have stood out for their conceptual approach and strong identity. Their music has always balanced brutality with atmosphere, drawing from themes such as ancient civilizations, power, human conflict and transcendence. Over the years, the band has evolved naturally, refining their songwriting and pushing beyond genre boundaries without losing their aggressive core.

“Sons Of The Abandoned”, produced by Tue Madsen, marks a turning point in BLOODHUNTER’s career. It is their most personal and honest album so far, shifting the focus inward to explore identity, vulnerability, personal struggle and the cost of pursuing one’s own path. For the first time, the lyrics speak directly from the heart, addressing inner demons, toxic environments, generational disconnection and the feeling of being lost in a world driven by individuality and superficial values. Musically, the album expands the band’s palette. Crushing riffs coexist with elegant grooves and striking melodic passages, while sharp contrasts define the songwriting: rage against beauty, speed against atmosphere, darkness against clarity.

With “Sons Of The Abandoned”, BLOODHUNTER solidify themselves as a band unafraid to evolve, challenge expectations and expose their own scars. This is not just another extreme metal album, it is a statement of identity, resistance and survival in a world that constantly demands compromise.

FIT FOR A KING  — Ryan Kirby, vocals; Bobby Lynge, guitar; Daniel Gailey, guitar; Trey Celaya, drums; and Ryan "Tuck" O'Leary — bass/vocals — dropped their eighth album Lonely God last summer via Solid State Records. Get it here

The band returns today with new music in the form of the standalone song "Blood Pact." It's full of piss, phglem, and palpable rage — just as fans like it.

"'Blood Pact' is a song that, unfortunately, has become more relevant as time goes on," explains Kirby. "It's about how the decisions of people in power affect the rest of us. And how as a human race, we face the reality of destruction, even when it's not the majority making the decision."

The song arrives ahead of FFAK's summer tour with Motionless in White, which kicks off July 14 and runs through August 15.

FFAK will remain on the road through 2026 and into 2027. The band will embark on a headline run of Latin America in October and then head to Australia with Beartooth in January. All dates are here. [[ADD LINK]]

apanese Horror Inspired USBM Duo SAIDAN Unleashes New Single, "Immersed by Eternity’s Blade"

Japanese horror-inspired USBM outfit SAIDAN will be releasing its highly anticipated fourth LP, 'FANGDRILLER: Scars Beneath Memory's Wrist,' on June 19 via Avantgarde Music! The band is now unveiling the cinematic new single, "Immersed by Eternity’s Blade" along with a music video, which can be found below.

A prequel to 2023's 'Visual Kill,' 'FANGDRILLER' follows The Student (Junko) as she tries to heal her fractured heart. Haunted by wistful solitude, her isolation makes her the perfect victim for a mysterious cult known as Ethereal Blood.

SAIDAN vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk comments, “Many of the songs on this album offer glimpses into where I was emotionally over the past year. 'Immersed by Eternity’s Blade' is unique in that there’s no metaphor to masquerade my heart. I yearned for a future where the anguish of the present would fade into a distant memory, leaving only the moments of happiness behind.

"This song was, and continues to be, a source of healing for me. I hope that anyone carrying their own sorrow can find some measure of comfort in this song and in the album as a whole.”

While lyrically dealing with topics of depression, heartbreak, loss, and loneliness, the album is musically inspired by the lo-fi nature of classic Visual Kei and gothic black metal. Saidan strives to deliver an album that sounds nostalgic for an era of music that doesn’t exist. Blistering solos, deranged vocals, anthemic-riffage, and diabolical drumming are slammed together with doses of modern breakcore and wrapped in a black metal bow, garnering a feeling of familiarity while offering something that’s boldly unique.

Pre-orders can be found HERE.

Moreover, SAIDAN will be embarking on a U.S. tour in support of prolific atmospheric black metal band Trhä along with Barbelith. The trek will kick off on July 23 in Indianapolis, IN and will lay waste through the East Coast and parts of the midwest until the final stop on August 8 in Charlotte, NC. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets can be found HERE.

In the neverending quest of supporting young and boundary-pushing bands from the underground around the world, Avantgarde Music is proud to announce their collaboration with Saidan, a Japanese horror-themed black metal band from Nashville, TN.

Spawning from tragedy in 2020, Saidan rapidly released a string of demos and splits that caused a stir in the underground Black Metal scene. With their anthem-like riffage, violent imagery, deranged vocal delivery, and heavy metal flair, Saidan has risen above their contemporaries and stood out in a bustling USBM scene. In five short years, Saidan has gone on to release three LPs: 'Jigoku: Spiraling Chasms of the Blackest Hell' (2021), 'Onryō II: Her Spirit Eternal' (2022), and 'Visual Kill: The Blossoming of Psychotic Depravity' (2024), all to critical success. The band's latest offering, 'FANGDRILLER: Scars Beneath Memory's Wrist,' will be arriving on June 19, 2026 exclusively through Avantgarde Music.

'Fangdriller' is the fourth studio album born from the minds of multi-instrumentalist Splatterpvnk and drummer Hundosai, a new chapter in the narrative concept that links together all Saidan releases. A prequel to 2023's 'Visual Kill,' 'FANGDRILLER' follows The Student (Junko) as she tries to heal her fractured heart. Haunted by wistful solitude, her isolation makes her the perfect victim for a mysterious cult known as Ethereal Blood. 

While lyrically dealing with topics of depression, heartbreak, loss, and loneliness, the album is musically inspired by the lo-fi nature of classic Visual Kei and gothic black metal. Saidan strives to deliver an album that sounds nostalgic for an era of music that doesn’t exist. Blistering solos, deranged vocals, anthemic-riffage, and diabolical drumming are slammed together with doses of modern breakcore and wrapped in a black metal bow, garnering a feeling of familiarity while offering something that’s boldly unique.

Stoned Jesus Go Deeper and Darker on New Single “Under the Skin”

Stoned Jesus are true trailblazers. While often associated with the stoner crowd, the heavy progressive rockers have experimented with folk, prog, pop and alternative rock amidst familiar doses of doom. Last year, the band entered the first phase of an expansive album trilogy that promises to take them from the sun to the moon and back. Songs to Sun was named one of the best albums of 2025 by Doom Charts, Rock Hard, The Obelisk and other outlets. Now, as frontman Igor Sydorenko and his bandmates prepare to blaze through the European summer festival circuit, they’re cycling into the next phase of their evolution.

Today, Stoned Jesus are releasing a new single. Though packed with the band’s reliable dose of heaviness, the progressive post-metal contained within “Under the Skin” shows them entering the darkest, most daring and deeply moving territory of their 17-year career.  

“Our upcoming album trilogy started last year with Songs to Sun, which is a loud and heavy album that’s big on choruses and meaty riffs”, Sydorenko says before turning to Stoned Jesus’ latest single. “‘Under the Skin’ begins our next phase in a somewhat similar fashion, but with a sinister twist. The fans of the very first SJ demo will recognize the influence of post-metal, which resurfaced after our tour last summer with the legendary Cult of Luna. But “Under the Skin” is not a step back. It’s darker, bolder and more introspective than anything the band has done before”.

Watch the music video for “Under the Skin” below.

https://orcd.co/stonedjesusundertheskin

On the surface, “Under the Skin” picks up right where Stoned Jesus left off. The sinking anxiety that swallowed Songs to Sun gives way here to heavy breathing. And while catchy as ever, the song’s weighty riff isn’t the only dark force that’s rattling inside Sydorenko’s head. “I feel it, it’s creeping in”, he strains, backed by bassist Andrew Rodin, who adds some of the harshest vocals the band have ever pressed to wax.  

The video for “Under the Skin” was filmed while Stoned Jesus were recording in Cologne, Germany at Goblin Sound Studio with sound engineer Andy Rosczyk (ex-Ultha). Despite the song’s bleary state of mind (“Promises to keep / I will never sleep”), the band never lose their glow. As drummer Yurii Ciel guides them through a proggy middle passage that leads deeper into the shadows, we catch a glimpse not only into their psyche but the shape of what’s to come. “Sky glider, gone wilder / With the setting sun”.

The video for “Under the Skin” was edited by Marco Menestrina.

Songs to Sun arrived in 2025 as the first album in a forthcoming trilogy that once complete, will stand as the pinnacle of what's been a decades-long trip for Stoned Jesus. While picking up where Father Light left off, Sydorenko and his new mates nodded to Seven Thunders Roar and The Harvest along the way. But by merging metal's fiery intensity with mind-melting grooves, vintage prog and their catchiest choruses yet, they brought the many distinct phases of Stoned Jesus to a bright, burning head. The album was named one of the best the year by Doom Charts, Rock Hard, The Obelisk, Weedian, Metal Lair and other outlets.

In 2026, Stoned Jesus are moving into the darkest, most daring and deeply moving phase of their career, starting with the band’s latest single "Under the Skin”.

Metalcore Forces RISING INSANE + ACCVSED Release Video for Collaborative Single "Dark"

Building on the massive momentum of their million-streaming hit "Good Enough," RISING INSANE have joined forces with ACCVSED for their explosive new single "DARK." The track offers a standout testament to the band's relentless creative drive and serves as the latest taste of their upcoming album, DEATHRACE, arriving on August 21 via Long Branch Records.

Reflecting on the song's turbulent journey from the cutting room floor to center stage, RISING INSANE share, "'DARK' was actually on the chopping block for the album for a long time before it unexpectedly transformed into a single. When Sven played the instrumental for the first time, some incredible vocal ideas immediately clicked. But as it often goes, initial ideas don't always pan out the way you hope. As a result, the song ended up gathering dust for a while. Yet, that initial spark from the instrumental version never truly faded, which pushed us to give it a second shot — and that definitive rewrite finally brought 'DARK' to life. Being able to bring ACCVSED on board for a feature was an absolute blessing, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out."

Watch the video for "DARK" (Feat. ACCVSED)  below.

Pre-order the new album + stream the single here.

Since their debut, Rising Insane have evolved from a fierce independent quintet into a global heavy-hitter, amassing millions of streams across their previous catalog. Their journey to the top has been defined by elite company, having shared stages with genre icons like Papa Roach, Of Mice & Men, and Stray From the Path, transforming them into an unstoppable live force.

This momentum is now reaching a fever pitch with their upcoming album, DEATHRACE. The record includes the standout track "Good Enough" (Feat. CASKETS), alongside the dark and mature "Error" (Feat. Steven Jones of Bleed From Within). Fans can also look forward to explosive new collaborations on the album David Schneider (The Butcher Sisters), as well.

DEATHRACE marks the band's most radical chapter yet, stripping away polished refinement in favor of raw power and primal riffs. It is a limit-breaking statement that finally pushes their sound to the absolute limit — Rising Insane have never stood still, but now they are finally flooring it.

RISING INSANE ARE:
Aaron Steineker — Vocals
Sven Polizuk — Guitar
Ulf Hedenkamp — Bass
Florian Köchy — Guitar
Robert Kühling — Drums

Ho99o9 Unleash Blistering New Anthem "Power in Numbers"

Ho99o9 return with “Power In Numbers,” a blistering new anthem that captures the band at their most direct, urgent, and confrontational. Fusing industrial hip-hop with hardcore punk intensity, the single delivers a powerful message rooted in unity, resistance, and collective strength, reinforcing the duo’s reputation as one of the most uncompromising voices in alternative music.

“Power In Numbers” is a cultural statement that channels the chaos of the current moment and emphasizes the strength of solidarity and shared resistance. The track draws from the lineage of protest music, balancing chaos and control to reinforce its central message of collective power. 

Known for pushing boundaries across genre and culture, Ho99o9 continue to blur the lines between punk, rap, industrial, and hardcore, creating music that is as politically charged as it is sonically destructive. “Power In Numbers” further expands the group’s fearless approach, designed to provoke, energize, and unite.

Recently, the band performed a free show for fans in Los Angeles at Pacific Electric, in conjunction with clothing and graphic apparel tastemakers, Civil Regime. The show served as a send-off for Ho99o9, who kick off their summer European and UK dates today (full dates below).  

Tomorrow We Escape, Ho99o9’s third album, was released recently via 999 Deathkult / Last Gang. A true amalgamation of all the band’s influences, including experimental hip-hop, digital hardcore, future-facing punk, metal, jarring industrial, and off-kilter electronics, the album is their most emotional offering to date, rooted in personal struggle and triumph. It exemplifies the outfit’s collaborative spirit, featuring Nova Twins, Chelsea Wolfe, Greg Puciato, MoRuf, Pink Siifu, and more. Trayer Tryon of avant darlings Hundred Waters (and with prod on recent breakthroughs - The Hellp, Sam Austins, 2Hollis, Alto Arc……) mixes and masters the album, further refining a new sonic landscape, harnessing the very best of the chaos that fans have come to know and love, with a fresh injection of newfound melodies, space, and crystalline production.

The New Jersey-bred outfit made its way to Los Angeles over a decade ago. Surging and seething just below the surface, the pair broke through as an apocalyptically fascinating outlier with their 2017 full-length debut, United States of Horror. In the meantime, their infamous live shows became the stuff of legend as they packed houses on their own and shared stages with everyone from Slipknot, Korn, Alice in Chains, Rob Zombie, Ministry, and The Dillinger Escape Plan to Lil Uzi Vert, Denzel Curry, Cypress Hill, and Ghostface Killah. Earning the respect of an elite cohort of peers, popular collaborations placed them toe-to-toe with Corey Taylor of Slipknot, The Prodigy, JPEGMAFIA, Ghostemane, HEALTH, 3TEETH, and N8NOFACE, among others. Jack Black made an appearance in their KULT CABLE series while they guested on The Eric Andre Show. They’ve received further acclaim from The New York Times, NME, The Guardian, Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, The FADER, Revolver, and more. They stand out as the rare phenomenon that can decimate Hellfest and Aftershock Festival and captivate on A COLORS SHOW.

“Power In Numbers” is available now on all streaming platforms. Stream / Get it HERE.

MADBALL | RETURN TO THEIR ROOTS ON NEW SINGLE 'TETHERED'

On July 24th, NYHC icons MADBALL return with their tenth studio album, Not Your Kingdom,via Nuclear Blast. Seamlessly bridging the gap between old-school grit and the modern heavy music landscape, MADBALL remains an unrivaled force. Not Your Kingdom pairs the band's trademark tales of street survival with a deeper, introspective edge, cementing the fact that hardcore still runs deep in their veins.

MADBALL has unleashed their second single, 'Tethered.' The track serves as an unapologetic, deeply personal reflection on everything the band represents. Dissecting pivotal moments from both past and present, frontman Freddy Cricien proclaims: “I’m bound to all the things / That I’ve done and seen / Tethered to everything / All the good the bad / That made me.” Delivering the classic, high-octane groove that serves as the genre's lifeblood, the track is paired with a music video directed by Freddy Cricien and Dave Causa who handled filming—a visual love letter to the streets of New York City where the band first took root.

MADBALL's Freddy Cricien comments, "'Tethered' is the opening song on the record and that’s ironic because it’s one of the last ones written for the album. I love the vibe, very bouncy groovy NYHC that really transported me back to the 90’s - hence the lyrics/theme. To my ears, it has a 'nostalgic' feel but still manages to come across as something new for us! Made sense for it to be the second single to demonstrate the diversity of the album - the whole thing is a story, a ride of sorts and this one as the opener really sets a good pace sonically and lyrically."

DEAD BY WEDNESDAY Drops Devastating New Single + Video “Flesh,” via Combat Records

Veteran New Haven, Connecticut metal band Dead By Wednesday, featuring current and former members of Ellefson, Cro-Mags, and Tantric has officially signed with the newly revived iconic heavy metal label Combat Records to unleash their devastating new single and video “Flesh" worldwide on all major streaming and digital platforms.

 

After building major momentum during recent live performances, “Flesh” quickly became a fan favorite leading the band to prioritize the song as the first release from their upcoming new EP, due out in early 2027 via Combat Records / Mindsnap Music. The single will also appear on the official Milwaukee Metal Fest promotional compilation album.

 

Dead By Wednesday was part of the Milwaukee Metal Fest 2026, curated by Jamey Jasta of Hatebreed this past weekend. The band performed on Sunday, June 7 at 4:45 PM on the BLK II BLK / Copycats Media Stage at The Rave Bar alongside an explosive lineup of heavy acts.

 

Guitarist Dave Sharpe shares, “This is probably one of our toughest songs to date but still captures the true essence of the old school DBW sound & heavy grooves that are known to be the foundation of the band.”

It was an absolute pleasure mixing this new release, and I’ve got nothing but respect for these guys. A band I’ll always hold close to my heart, and I’m beyond stoked for everyone to finally hear this one," says Ricky Bonazza.

Holissstik Announce Debut Album Chapter I: This Endless Solitude

After more than 30 years, Tor-Helge Skei remains one of the most consistent and surprising talents in extreme music. A founding member of the critically acclaimed group Manes, the Norwegian mainstay, multi-instrumentalist and producer has pushed the boundaries of black metal and the avant-garde. Now, with his new collaborative project, Holissstik, he’s expanding his vision like never before.

Today, Skei is announcing Holissstik’s debut album Chapter 1: This Endless Solitude. The album is the first in a trilogy and arrives with a captivating music video for its genre-busting lead single. While full of regrets, “The Rhythm of Silence” speaks to the collective spirit that makes Holissstik such a unified force.  

“Collaboration is the heart and soul of Holissstik”, Skei says. “The name comes from the Greek word Hólos, which, in English, is the root word for ‘whole’. The idea is that the music as a whole is greater than its individual contributions”.   

“With Hollissstik, we’ve built something that transcends traditional metal by focusing on the ‘holos’ - the beauty of the complete, interconnected whole”, says Manes member Tor-Arne Helgesen, who contributes drums to “The Rhythm of Silence”.

Fellow Manes member Eivind Fjøseide, who contributes guitar to “The Rhythm of Silence”, agrees. “Skei and I have worked together on music for more than 30 years. Together, we have a special chemical musical reaction that makes things very exciting”.

Watch the video for “The Rhythm of Silence” below.

Chapter 1: This Endless Solitude comes out August 14, 2026 on Season of Mist.

Although the very nature of Holissstik demands that we expect the unexpected, the collective’s future certainly seems to guarantee obsidian horizons and torrential deluges of artistic truth. In other words, the project promises to persistently and ritualistically pummel us with devastating yet necessary, epic masterworks. Skei and his collaborators truly present the most immersive experiences possible and, in Manes language, offer a safe place in the unsafe; dive in with your hands bound, and be submerged within the imprisoning brilliance. Skei continues to participate in a range of outstanding groups, and yet Holissstik stands as the most unpredictable and, counterintuitive as it might sound, accessible undertaking in the history of his illustrious career.

LUNA KILLS Unveil "LOWER" Video

Following the release of their album DEATHMATCH last year, Finnish alternative metal powerhouse LUNA KILLS are already charging forward with a brand new single titled "LOWER" via Sharptone Records.

Speaking about the single, the band shares, "The lyrics of the song are about dealing with the feeling that you don't belong anywhere. You feel the weight of not fitting into the expectations that society or others have placed upon you, or even the expectations you have for yourself. It makes you question your reality, and at the same time, you slowly begin to feel like you'e fading away piece by piece and turning into someone you don't recognize. The song carries a theme — both in lyrics and music — about the contrast between the softness of accepting yourself and the world you have built around yourself and the crushing weight of a never leaving dread whispering whether you made the right choices."

Following the explosive momentum of DEATHMATCH and standout tracks including "WAVES," "LEECH," "sugar rush,""slay ur enemies"  and "love u," the band continues to evolve an unmistakable blend of crushing heaviness, modern production, and emotionally charged songwriting.

LUNA KILLS have added new dates to their 2026 tour schedule, featuring major festival appearances and headline shows across Europe, as well as select support slots for Future Palace and Vianova. View tour dates here.

ABOUT LUNA KILLS:
LUNA KILLS are without a doubt the most refreshing modern metal act in the scene, combining alternative and nu-metal vibes with electronics inspired by game soundtracks. Their frontwoman Lotta with her jazz singing background and incredible fry scream vocals brings the audience to their knees - unless they are speeding around in moshpits, as often witnessed in their fiery live shows. Even as newcomers LUNA KILLS have already opened the door to their beloved gaming world as their music is featured in the hit mobile app Beatstar. The band, first formed in 2019, has now taken their first steps on European stages, gained the attention of multiple rock radios in their native Finland and are moving forward towards their first full-length album with SharpTone Records.

LUNA KILLS ARE:
Lotta Ruutiainen — Vocals

Gunshine Releases New Single "My Oh Miley" Ahead of Upcoming Album Grand Rising

Florida rock band Gunshine released their fifth track, “My Oh Miley,” offering fans a taste of their forthcoming full-length album, Grand Rising, due out digitally on July 24 through vnclm_ /  Create Music Group.

 

“My Oh Miley” is a hard rock track that channels high-energy riffs and infectious melodic hooks into a playful, tongue-in-cheek tribute to Miley Cyrus. Built around clever lyrical references to titles from her catalog and key moments from her public life, the song weaves those nods into an original narrative rather than simply name-dropping. The result is a driving, anthemic cut that balances grit and melody—blending distorted guitars, punchy rhythms, and a soaring chorus designed for singalongs. Equal parts homage and rock spectacle, “My Oh Miley”captures the chaos, charisma, and cultural impact of its subject while standing firmly as a hook-heavy, modern rock anthem in its own right.

 

The song was tracked in Las Vegas with producer/engineer Chris Collier.  Chris also mixed and mastered the track, as well as, the whole record. 

STREAM "My Oh Miley" HERE

 

The album is now available on limited edition vinyl and CD here:

https://gunshine.diggers.store/

 

WATCH "My Oh Miley" Below:

While the digital release of Grand Rising arrives later this summer, fans won’t have to wait long to get their hands on the record. Physical copies of the album, including CD and double vinyl editions, alongside exclusive Gunshine merchandise, are available for purchase online at https://gunshine.diggers.store/ The CD and double vinyl will also be sold through the band at upcoming live shows.

 

"We tracked the whole record, (except "Goth Girl" and "Single Looks Good On You"), in Las Vegas with producer/mixer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake, Lynchmob).  I've been working with Chris for about 9 years now.  He's incredibly talented, has a great ear, and adds a heavy hitting production value that makes the songs sonically translate very well," says Austin Ingerman.  

Hailing from Pensacola, Florida, Gunshine have built a reputation on catchy vocal melodies, clever lyrics, blistering guitar riffs and solos, and a lethal rhythm section. Their sound blends edgy, raw Rock ’n’ Roll attitude with a melodic, Pop-forward sensibility, creating music that hits hard while remaining instantly memorable. Combined with their high-energy, commanding live performances, Gunshine continue to enthrall listeners and prove themselves a force to be reckoned with.

 

With Grand Rising, Gunshine raise the bar yet again in an exciting evolution of the band. The album takes listeners on a dynamic journey filled with genre-bending twists and turns, shifting moods, and unexpected vibes—all while staying true to the core elements that set Gunshine apart. Featuring 13 tracks, each single-worthy in its own right, Grand Rising is poised to become a modern-day rock classic.

Metalcore Band Provenance Release New Single + Music Video "Broken Bonds" via Arson Theory

Massachusetts metalcore band Provenance have released their powerful new single, "Broken Bonds," alongside an accompanying music video that brings the song's themes of betrayal, abandonment, and emotional turmoil to life.

 

Released via Arson Theory, the four-piece metalcore band from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, formed in 2025 and has quickly begun carving out its place in the modern heavy music scene with an aggressive sound.

 

At the heart of "Broken Bonds" is a deeply personal message about being left behind when support is needed most. The song's emotional centerpiece arrives in the lyric, "You watched the whole world fall around me," which perfectly captures the song's central theme of feeling abandoned by someone who was expected to stand by your side.

 

"'You watched the whole world fall around me' heavily reinforces the overall feeling of this song and what it's about being let down and abandoned by someone you counted on for support," says the band.

 

With "Broken Bonds," Provenance continue to establish themselves as a promising new voice in the metalcore scene, delivering music that resonates with listeners facing their own struggles with loss, disappointment, and fractured relationships.

 

"Broken Bonds" and its official music video are available now on all major streaming and video platforms.

ABOUT GUILT TRIP:
Historically, Manchester, UK breeds a certain toughness. As a pillar of the 19th century Industrial Revolution in Northern England, factories and warehouses line much of the city's rain-baptized topography. A hardworking lot who shoot straight without apology, its denizens traditionally take an incredible amount of pride in where they come from. Embodying the grit and gusto of Manchester, UK, Guilt Trip bring a blast of homegrown intensity to their hybrid of hardcore and metal. The five piece slide striking melodies in between throat-slitting thrashy riffs and earth-splitting breakdowns. Guilt Trip started to forge a seething signature style without comparison back in 2015. They dropped the Unrelenting Force EP [2016] followed by River of Lies [2019]. The latter spawned "Thin Ice," which reeled in 7.1 million Spotify streams and counting. 2023's Severance marked a turning point. It boasted popular collaborations with LANDMVRKS and Malevolence. KERRANG!hailed their "unique brand of hardcore that sees them delve into elements of thrash, old-school hardcore and fist-pumping metal." Beyond sharing the stage with everyone from Sylosis to While She Sleeps, they lit up festivals, including Download and Hellfest. Attracting Roadrunner Records to their corner, the musicians decamped to StudioOWZ in Clarbeston Wales with producer and engineer Adam "Nolly" Getgood [Periphery] during early 2025 to record their debut LP for Roadrunner Records, Armour Of Angels. They bulldozed the way for the release with the God Forgives EP, which incited the applause of Rock Sound, BLUNT, and CLASH. With Armour Of Angels, they're primed to make Manchester proud as they make a lasting imprint on heavy music.

APOSTLE Release New Album A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon Alongside New Music Video for "Exiting The God Hologram"

Metal trio APOSTLE have released their dynamic and emotionally charged new full-length album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, out via Terminus Hate City. Alongside the album’s arrival, the band have also unveiled a new music video for the opening track, "Exiting The God Hologram".

"Exiting The God Hologram" introduces A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon with the approaching rumble of a train passing by at night, a sample recorded from vocalist and guitarist Murice White’s apartment. The track explores the idea that there is no singular “correct” way to experience or move through life. Its lyrics conjure striking imagery of a blood-filled sea splitting in half to reveal two paths, each offering only one view of reality, of “truth.” Musically, the song moves through a progression of sonic heaviness, emotive passages, and expansive textures that set the tone for the record’s deeply introspective journey.

Across six tracks and 27 minutes, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon finds APOSTLE moving through themes of grief, mortality, internal conflict, oppression, intuition, and eventual healing. The album’s title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, loss, and self-examination.

From the personal weight of "Illusion of Loss" to the urgent anger of "Swine", the fractured realities of "Distortions of Light", the instinctual force of "Oscillating Polarities", and the vulnerable, bittersweet closing passage of "At Ease", A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE at their most refined, expansive, and emotionally resonant.

The album title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, grief, and self-examination. Across six tracks and 27 minutes, the band move through themes of loss, mortality, internal conflict, and eventual healing. The record serves as both a meditation on the human condition and a deeply personal tribute shaped by grief and remembrance.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Connor Ray at Sobek Sound and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE in their most refined and expansive form.

Pre-order A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon here: https://www.terminushatecity.com/product-page/preorder-apostle-a-splinter-in-the-infinite-noumenon-lp

Their latest album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, represents the band’s most fully realized work to date. Drawing from existential philosophy and deeply personal experiences with grief and remembrance, the record explores humanity’s connection to something greater while acknowledging the struggle inherent in being human. Across its runtime, APOSTLE seek connection through shared emotional experience, transforming personal suffering into collective release.

VOÏVOD Releases New Live Album ‘Symphonique’ Featuring the Quebec Symphony Orchestra Out Now via Century Media Records

After more than 40 eventful years of existence, Canada's progressive sci-fi metal innovators VOÏVOD return with ‘Symphonique,’ a special live release together with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra, out now via Century Media Records.

‘Symphonique,’ which functions like an epic piece of cinema, showcases VOÏVOD’s pioneering futuristic metal with the strains of a symphony orchestra, and features a carefully curated VOÏVOD best-of setlist composed of 12 songs across 73 minutes, recorded live on June 4th, 2025, at the Grand Théâtre in Québec City, Canada.

Today, a next appetizer for ‘Symphonique’ can now be seen in a visualizer created by Luc Leclerc / Above The Void, featuring background animation by Sébastien Fournier / Cirkus Animation for the song “The Unknown Knows (Symphonique),” available below. 

The previously launched 'Symphonique' live-songs can still be viewed here:

VOÏVOD’s drummer and founding member Michel “Away” Langevin comments on ‘Symphonique’:

“This live album with the Quebec Symphony Orchestra is a longtime dream turned reality. Thankfully, we will experience it again in 2027 with the Orchestre Symphonique du Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean, right in the region where VOÏVOD formed back in 1983. We wish to take this show across the globe with local orchestras one day, but in the meantime, I hope you will enjoy this epic release. It’s the closest we’ve ever come to sounding like a dystopian sci-fi movie soundtrack, another dream of ours!”

'Symphonique' follows the release of VOÏVOD’s latest Juno Award-winning studio album,'Synchro Anarchy' (2022), which reached #7 on the official album sales charts in Germany, #64 in Switzerland, #67 in Austria, and #88 in the Netherlands upon release. It also arrives after the band’s special 40th anniversary release, 'Morgöth Tales' (2023), from which a selection of videos can be found.
