REPENTANCE Announce New Album Retaliate Unleash Crushing Title Track as First Single!

May 14, 2026

Chicago metal outfit REPENTANCE has announced their upcoming third full-length album Retaliate, set for release on July 17th, 2026 via Noble Demon. Alongside the announcement, the band has unleashed the record’s title track as the first single, offering an intense glimpse into what promises to be their most hard-hitting and focused release to date.

"'Retaliate' is a straight punch to the teeth. Coming out swinging", vocalist Adam Gilley comments about the track. "This song has that take no prisoners intensity and hooks. So tune in and turn that sh** up!!!!"

Stream the single below:

Formed in 2018 by guitarist Shaun Glass (ex-Soil, Dirge Within), REPENTANCE have steadily carved out a name for themselves in the modern metal landscape with a sound built on groove, heavy riffs, technical precision, and unrelenting intensity. Emerging from the Chicago scene, the band quickly gained traction on the live circuit, sharing stages with acts such as Trivium, DevilDriver, Jinjer, Sacred Reich, and Toxic Holocaust, among others.

Their debut album God For A Day (2020) received strong critical attention, leading to a worldwide signing with German label Noble Demon in 2021. This partnership marked a new chapter for the band, beginning with the EP Volume I - Reborn (2021), which introduced vocalist Adam Gilley and featured a guest appearance from Trivium guitarist Corey Beaulieu.

In 2023, REPENTANCE followed up with their sophomore album The Process of Human Demise, a record that further solidified their reputation for blending groove metal intensity with modern thrash precision. Produced by Alex Lackner and mixed/mastered by Chris Collier, the album also featured guest contributions from Corey Beaulieu and Milo Silvestro (Fear Factory), drawing comparisons to genre heavyweights such as Pantera and Lamb of God.

Now, with "Retaliate", the band push their sound even further. Once again produced by Alex Lackner at Accelerated Sound, the record was mixed by Ari Mihalopoulos at Inner Light Studio - a pairing that brings both familiarity and a fresh sonic perspective to the band's most aggressive material yet. The album arrives with punishing groove and nonstop aggressive hooks, pushing the band's sound forward while staying rooted in the intensity that has defined them since day one.

"Retaliate" will be released digitally on July 17 via Noble Demon and is available for pre-save at THIS LOCATION.

Adam Gilley – Vocals 
Shaun Glass – Guitar 
Eric Burns – Guitar 
Eric Karol – Bass

March 28, 2026

Finnish doom metal act GRAIN OF PAIN celebrates the release of their highly anticipated new album "Behind Us All", out now via Noble Demon. To mark the occasion, the band has unveiled a haunting lyric video for the track "Ruins of the Heart".

Mastermind Timo Solonen reflects on the song’s meaning: "There is always someone who wants to lead and use religion or anything to rule others.

Juho’s solo captures perfectly the meaning of the song and the melody in the end haunts you forever."

Mastermind Timo Solonen comments: "So many stones, so many hopes. We are very happy to have Pekka Olkkonen to feature on our first single and to play solo on our song. Song is about life choices we made to earlier in life to chase dreams which weren’t worth it in the end. When you grow older you will find what is most important in life and the struggle to leave old life behind is not always easy. But you can do it as it becomes clear in the end of the song".

Hailing from Finland, GRAIN OF PAIN delivers a powerful and emotionally charged take on doom/death metal.

THE VICE Release Music Video for "Waltz de Anima"; New 3-track EP "The Red Tape Sessions" out now via Noble Demon!

December 8, 2025

Stockholm-based dark metal four-piece THE VICE have unveiled the music video for "Waltz de Anima", the epic closing track from their newly released 3-track EP "The Red Tape Sessions". The EP is available now via Noble Demon.

About the track, the band comments: "Waltz de Anima", in my opinion is definitely our most 'epic' song to date. The chorus was the first segment written and it immediately felt like one of the 'big choruses' we'd wanted to write for a long time, but it just hadn't come to us yet. But from the first demo-recording of the song we knew that this was one for the books. It has a very majestic, regal tone to it which we kept close in mind when writing the rest of the song. And with the strange, smoke-drenched, early 1900's jazz-club-vibe in the intro and the interlude reminiscing of parties of the bourgeoisie in huge ballrooms centuries ago, or some twisted night at the Royal Opera or Ballet even, I think we did quite well in highlighting that mood throughout the entire song."

Watch the video for "Waltz de Anima" Below;

Listen to "The Red Tape Sessions" in full HERE

From the very beginning, THE VICE has followed their own crooked path, driven by a desire to carve out a place of their own within the scene.

And that grimy, wildhearted, metal/rock/pop fusion, with one foot firmly planted in the windswept, frozen North and the other cemented to the concrete of the streets, sure sounds like nothing else. Dark, blackened metal, ferocious rock 'n' roll, posh punk and harsh, hardcore attitude; mixed with a huge dose of the cultural colossi of the 90's such as Guns & Roses, Pantera, Prince, Grunge, Oasis, Neometal, Fight Club, The Matrix and Terminator 2 to name a few. All of that - and everything in between - comes close to describing the very essence of THE VICE.

Three full-length albums and numerous EPs into their career, the band stands as a confident, adrenaline-pumping unit - a bunch of loose cannons at the starting blocks, ready to commence the next chapter in THE VICE saga.

"The Red Tape Sessions" - a striking collection that builds upon the foundations of March’s "A Great Unrest" (Noble Demon), elevating both the production and songwriting while drenching it all in a strange, electrifying neon glow - is out now and available for purchase HERE.

The Vice are:
Rickard - Vocals & Guitars
Charlie - Bass
Petter - Drums
Joel Öhman - Guitar

Dark Metal Band THE VICE Unleash First Single/Video From Upcoming EP "The Red Tape Sessions"!

November 2, 2025

Stockholm-based dark metal four-piece THE VICE has announced the release of their brand new 3-track EP "The Red Tape Sessions", set to drop on December 5 via Noble Demon. With the track "Cardinal Tropes", the band offers a first glimpse of what’s to come. The single is accompanied by a striking music video, available to watch below:

THE VICE about the song: "Sometimes things don't have to be too complicated, pretentious. 'Cardinal Tropes' began with only a couple of lines spat out on top of a simple, cool rhythm. Those first few seconds made it very clear as to what kind of a song it was going to be, so writing and arranging the rest was nothing but smooth sailing. And the end result is a dazzling display of The Vice firing on all cylinders, a purple freaking haze of mean rock 'n' roll, dark metal, self-indulgence and a juvenile tenacity to always take the road less traveled."

From the very beginning, THE VICE has followed their own crooked path, driven by a desire to carve out a place of their own within the scene.

All of that - and everything in between - comes close to describing the very essence of THE VICE.

The first leg of this new era is marked by "Cardinal Tropes", the opening track from "The Red Tape Sessions" mini-EP, closing out 2025 with a colorful bang. The track is a straightforward, mean-sounding statement piece - a perfect representation of THE VICE in 2025.

"'Savage Strength' is a fierce anthem honoring the true guardians of our planet - wildlife", the band states. "The lyrics channel raw power and urgency, reminding us that while humans are invaders destroying balance, nature continues to resist, fight back, and reclaim its place. This song is not just music, it’s a call to respect, protect, and recognize the wild as the ultimate force of resilience and wisdom. The countdown has begun… and nature will prevail."

About NO RAZA:

From the landscapes of Colombia, forged in 1997, death metal powerhouse NO RAZA has taken root in Florida, USA, continuing their relentless sonic assault. More than just a band, NO RAZA delivers a visceral experience, their live staging a stark recreation of a world ravaged by conflict. Through their crushing riffs and guttural pronouncements, they embody the spirit of resistance, standing as sentinels of truth, fiercely defending ancestral cultures and the remnants of a world teetering on the brink.

Thorugh the years, the band has performed on international stages across Mexico, the UK, the USA, and Colombia, sharing the spotlight with renowned bands at major festivals and tours.

After releasing three solid full-length studio albums between 2004 and 2014, NO RAZA was one of the very first signings of Germany-based metal record label Noble Demon (est. 2019) and successfully released their latest masterpiece, "Transcending Material Sins", back in 2020. Now, five years after that success, this powerful alliance is reignited with the unveiling of "Tyrona", the band's newest masterpiece.

The band offers insight into the single’s core message: "The new single is a song that speaks to everyone. It’s about all the sacrifices we do just so we can keep on living. At the end we all turn to the lord and ask for a hero that can help lead the way. My problems in life are different from yours but we all sometimes need to do sacrifices to keep on moving forward. The hardest work is to sacrifice something without regrets. But in the end we always wonder if he hears you calling out."

Formed in 2017, S.O.R.M quickly made a name for themselves with the release of their outstanding "Hellraiser" EP (2020), which introduced the band to the world and captivated audiences with their infectious hooks right from the start. The band's 2023 debut album, "Under My Skin" (Noble Demon), further solidified their position in the hard rock scene, featuring guest appearances by legendary guitarists Doug Blair of W.A.S.P. and Nick Petrino of Dee Snider.

THE MAN-EATING TREE Unleash New Single "Ruins Of Insanity"!

March 28, 2025

On April 11, 2025, Finnish atmospheric metallers THE MAN-EATING TREE will release their brand new studio offering, "Night Verses", via Noble Demon. The pre-sale is available at https://music.nobledemon.com/verses

With "Night Verses", THE MAN-EATING TREE returns with renewed energy and a desire to push the boundaries of their sound.

Vocalist Manne Ikonen (ex-Ghost Brigade) tells us about the song:
"'Ruins of Insanity' tells a horrifying story about a couple struggling with a severe addiction and acquisitiveness in a dystopic world of chaos and misery, mind taken over by blinding lunacy so strong that reality and common sense is no longer in hand."

Founding member Janne Markus adds:

"Melancholy, own, common, hated, ashamed, loved, desired. The disintegration of two people's world and its reflection in everything around them. Leaving only emptiness. As a song this is the most straight-forward, catchy, melodic, not as heavy as the other songs on the album."

THE VICE Release "A Great Unrest" EP and"From The Barricades" Music Video!

March 8, 2025

Swedish dark metal act THE VICE has unleashed its brand new 5 track EP A Great Unrest via Noble Demon. To celebrate the release in a fitting manner, the band has released a music video for the track "From The Barricades".

THE VICE about the song:
"Sometimes rock 'n' roll shouldn't be more complicated than one middle finger and zero f*cks to give. And that's what "From The Barricades" is all about.It's punk song cast in our blackened mold of ferocious rock and die-hard metal, accelerating all the way until the very end. Nothing more, nothing less, but one hell of a ride.."

Watch the video for "From The Barricades" below:

Listen to "A Great Unrest" HERE

Following the success of their latest full-length album, Dead Canary Run (2024, Noble Demon), THE VICE embarked on an exciting journey to create a series of EPs. The addition of Joel Öhman, a long-time collaborator, has transformed the band into a finely-tuned quartet, enriching their sound with fresh perspectives and innovative approaches.

The first offering from this new chapter, A Great Unrest, has this growth on full display, amplifying every inch of the foundation made of blackened metal, ambient pop and unbridled rock'n'roll.

The five tracks - three new ones, a cover of "1 Sun" by Miley Cyrus and a rearranged version of "Welcome The Storm" from the latest album - were recorded in the fall of 2024 at Studio Underjord (Skraeckoedlan, Magna Carta Cartel, Haystack among others) in rural Sweden.

Fresh off of writing and recording a full album, this EP was the perfect way to musically break the "limitations" that can come when working to create a really unified piece of art.

And while it wasn't exactly Fantomas-levels of diverse tracks, sound engineer and owner of the studio, Joona Hassinen really pulled his 'A' game giving it a coherent sound. A Great Unrest sounds a bit lighter, yet more harsh than Dead Canary Run with an electrified, distorted tension running throughout.

"A Great Unrest" is out now on Noble Demon and available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

The Vice are:
Rickard - Vocals & Guitars
Charlie - Bass
Petter - Drums
Guest appearance by Joel Öhman (Piano)

Formed in 2005 as Tuomas Saukkonen's (WOLFHEART, BEFORE THE DAWN) creative outlet, DAWN OF SOLACE quickly established itself with their debut album, "The Darkness" (2006). Despite a hiatus due to legal complications, the band's loyal fanbase remained unwavering, keeping the flame alive. A triumphant return came in 2019 with the signing to Noble Demon. This partnership revitalized DAWN OF SOLACE, leading to two successful full-length albums - "Waves" (2020) and "Flames of Perdition" (2022) - alongside an unplugged EP.

THE VICE Announce New EP "A Great Unrest" and Unleash Gloomy Video for First Single and Title Track!

February 8, 2025

Swedish dark metal act THE VICE has announced the release of the band's upcoming five track EP A Great Unrest, set to be released on March 7 via Noble Demon.

Following the success of their latest full-length album, Dead Canary Run (2024, Noble Demon), THE VICE embarked on an exciting journey to create a series of EPs. The addition of Joel Öhman, a long-time collaborator, has transformed the band into a finely-tuned quartet, enriching their sound with fresh perspectives and innovative approaches.

And while it wasn't exactly Fantomas-levels of diverse tracks, sound engineer and owner of the studio, Joona Hassinen really pulled his 'A' game giving it a coherent sound. "A Great Unrest" sounds a bit lighter, yet more harsh than "Dead Canary Run" with an electrified, distorted tension running throughout.

In support of the upcoming release, THE VICE have unleashed the first single and title track of the EP. The song is accompanied by a new & gloomy music video, which you can watch below.

Listen to "A Great Unrest" HERE

Guitarist Rickard about the track: "To me, 'A Great Unrest' is everything that The Vice is all about, boiled down to its purest form. One sinister fucking riff, a couple of choruses trembling with fierceness, passion and rebellion, and a final act to release all that built up tension in a beautiful, yet most ominous way. All in under three and a half minute, really think we obliterated every head of every nail with this one."

Regarding the EP's themes, the band adds: "Thematically there wasn't any other ideas, thoughts, than usual when entering the studio. The Vice is, has always been, and will forever be about unrest, rebellion, those mixed feelings of unease and ecstacy when balancing on the last inches of the edge, about to plunge into the void. Some songs here and there have more specific themes, but in general it's reflections and ideas about this existence from a quite calm, gathered perspective though always prepared, anticipating the moment when the tension breaks and the unknown madness begins. Somewhere along the way the visual representations like the cover art, music video, title etc all started to lean towards some kind of cold war aesthetics. This was absolutely not intentional, never discussed and nothing we'd naturally turn to. Sure some things led to the other, but at least some of it feels like the music just had an inherent vibe of that, cold, metallic, bleak, post-war vibe."

"A Great Unrest " will be coming out on March 7 via Noble Demon and is now available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

The Vice are:
Rickard - Vocals & Guitars
Charlie - Bass
Petter - Drums

DAWN OF SOLACE Unleash Crushing New Single "Invitation" From Upcoming Album "Affliction Vortex"!

January 17, 2025

Finnish melancholic metal heavyweights DAWN OF SOLACE have dropped their crushing new track, "Invitation", taken from the forthcoming full-length album, "Affliction Vortex". Due for release on February 14th via Noble Demon, "Affliction Vortex" promises to be a dark and captivating journey straight into the depths of Nordic melancholy.

Following the first two singles "Murder" and "Fortress", "Invitation" is another powerful statement that showcases the band's signature blend of heavy riffs and haunting melodies.

Mastermind Tuomas Saukkonen (WOLFHEART, BEFORE THE DAWN) comments on the track: "Invitation is a crushingly heavy and beautiful song at least from the writers point of view. Sometimes a song and lyrics are born like a stream of thought and with effortless creation but once all is done and you hear the song as a complete piece of art it ties a knot inside you that you struggle to open even after dozens of times of listening and even speaking certain parts of lyrics remains unpleasant."

Listen to "Invitation" below.

Formed in 2005 as Tuomas Saukkonen's creative outlet, DAWN OF SOLACE quickly established itself with their debut album, "The Darkness" (2006). Despite a hiatus due to legal complications, the band's loyal fanbase remained unwavering, keeping the flame alive.

A triumphant return came in 2019 with the signing to Noble Demon.

"This song represents a darker and more aggressive side of Voidfallen: relentless beats, ominous choirs and truculent vocals create the soundtrack for the message of the song", the band comments. "Branding of Souls can mean a different thing to everyone. To one it might be spiritual but to another it might be political. The core message is still the same: fight and resist the ill and draconian oppression that is forced upon you."

Originally a two-piece project formed in 2019 by guitarists Tommi Kangaskortet and Henri Vuorenmaa, VOIDFALLEN has since expanded into a full band, bringing their powerful compositions to life on stage. Their debut album, "The Atlas of Spiritual Apocalypse", released in 2021, established them as a force to be reckoned with in the melodic death metal scene. With "The Rituals of Resilience", VOIDFALLEN are set to deliver a crushing blow, elevating their sound to new heights.

"The Rituals of Resilience" will be out on January 24, 2025, via Noble Demon and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

Voidfallen are:
Lauri Honkola: Vocals
Henri Vuorenmaa: Guitars
Tommi Kangaskortet: Guitars
