HOKKA - Release Anthemic New Single "Vampire" Feat. Samy Elbanna & Jussi 69

September 9, 2026

Finnish rock outfit HOKKA has joined forces with some of the scene's most prominent faces for their latest anthem, ‘Vampire.’ Marking a powerful meeting of two generations of Finnish rock talent, the track features Samy Elbanna (Lost Society) delivering insane guitar solos and riffs that completely carry the song and vocals, alongside thunderous rhythms from legendary The 69 Eyes drummer, Jussi 69.

‘Vampire’ delivers an adrenaline-fueled, modern, and punishingly catchy sound. The high-octane single is accompanied by a spectacular music video that visually captures the track's explosive energy.

Joel Hokka comments:
”What a privilege to share this track with my dearest friends & brothers. Samy, Jussi, Jimi & Pauli know how much this kind of stuff means to me after everything that I’ve gone through lately. Vampire is 100% pure rock’n’roll joyride. I hope this will be the official Halloween 2026 soundtrack for many of you.”

Jussi 69 adds:
”I love doing collabs with friends.I really like Hokka’s stuff and this time when I heard the title of the track I said i’m in! With Samy Elbanna I have a long history playing with him in the Local Band, project started by me and my brother, late great Alexi Laiho. It’s been wild to watch Samy’s incredible talent and growth to one of the best shredders right now and he definitely gave his trademark to the song which is unreal!
Hope you dig the track as much i do!”

Samy Elbanna says:
”When there was talk about jumping on a track with Finland’s finest who just so happened to also be my great friends and brothers, I was already in - and once I heard the track I knew this would be insanely fun to do. A big riff, a massive chorus and a chance to shred louder than ever; what’s not to love. The OG Helsinki vampire and the new generation are coming for you!”

BEHEMOTH - Unleash New Single & Video 'In League With Satan' + New Release "I, Scvlptor" Out Now!

September 4, 2026

Polish extreme metal legends, BEHEMOTH, unleash 'In League with Satan', the second single from their new studio release, I, Scvlptor, which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records (digitally) and Massacre Records (physically). The music video for 'In League with Satan' was produced by the acclaimed Polish production collective Grupa 13. The song and the video feature very special guest, Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir.

Nergal commented on the new single:

“When we were looking for a name for our tour with Dimmu Borgir, I thought it would be great to use a timeless slogan and basically quote the gods of satanic rock’n’roll — Venom and “In League with Satan” perfectly fit my vision. I honestly don’t remember what came first — the idea for the tour name or the idea of recording the song itself. What matters is that we recorded it on seven-string guitars with Shagrath from Dimmu as a guest vocalist. The song gained a massive weight and a completely new dimension. We’re planning to play it live and I think our version turned into something truly powerful.”

Watch the music video for 'In League With Satan' Below:

'I, Scvlptor', which is out today, is an exclusive release featuring eight previously unreleased songs - seven new studio recordings and one live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band's foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth's live energy and intensity. Two tracks - 'Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil' (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and 'In Thy Pandemaeternum' (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) - are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth - 'In League With Satan' (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and 'The Return of Darkness and Evil' (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited-Edition Box Set through Massacre Records worldwide and digitally via Nuclear Blast Records.

Nergal commented:
“We’re fucking excited about the release of I, Scvlptor. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, The Shit Ov God. That’s why we see I,Scvlptor as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”

In October 2026, two of the most influential forces in extreme metal join together for a monumental tour: Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir will embark on the “In League with Satan” co-headline tour (with special guests, Dark Funeral), storming across Europe and the UK. Details below:

THE SYSTEM IS ONLINE: FEAR FACTORY UNLEASHES MACHINE-DRIVEN NEW SINGLE "ROBOTICIST"

August 30, 2026

For more than three decades, industrial metal pioneers FEAR FACTORY have explored the friction between man and machine, tracing the rise of artificial intelligence and humanity's loss of control over its own creations.

The band launches a bold new era with 'Roboticist.' The latest single, which premiered on Sirius XM Liquid Metal, marks the recording debut of the band's current lineup featuring vocalist Milo Silvestro, drummer Pete Webber, and bassist Tony Campos. Blending crushing mechanical aggression with a haunting, melodic hook, the track explores a dystopian reality where flesh fails and only consciousness endures.

Produced, engineered, mixed, and mastered by Damien Rainaud, the single arrives alongside a cinematic music video directed by Vincente Cordero and produced by Arion Csihar. System activated: the next chapter of FEAR FACTORY has officially begun.

FEAR FACTORY guitarist Dino Cazares comments, "The future isn’t coming. It’s already here, ‘Roboticist’ is the next evolution of Fear Factory. Man, Machine and the war for what comes next. I can’t wait for everyone to hear the beginning of a new era of Fear Factory."

Stream 'Roboticist' here: https://fearfactory.bfan.link/roboticist

Death is no longer the end, it is the next evolution. The machine no longer needs humanity; it inherits the future.

Stand by, critical intel on the upcoming album is imminent. In the meantime, prepare for the live assault. Experience FEAR FACTORY as they tear across Europe and the US on the Cybernetic Domination Tour.

TURMION KÄTILÖT - UNLEASH FEROCIOUS SECOND SINGLE ‘LUNASTAKAA’

August 27, 2026

Following the massive wave of anticipation sparked by their recent album announcement and the chaotic first track "Raivotarjonta," Finnish industrial metal pioneers TURMION KÄTILÖT are doubling down. Today, the band strikes again with 'Lunastakaa,' the fiercely energetic second single from their upcoming twelfth studio album, Resodance, arriving globally on October 23, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Known for blending heavy industrial metal, pulsing electronic music, and wicked dark humor into a genre completely their own, the band continues to push creative boundaries with 'Lunastakaa.' The high-octane track arrives with an epic, visually striking music video that reflects the band's trademark theatrical intensity and unmatched ability to turn extreme metal into a relentless dancefloor party.

Watch the video for 'Lunastakaa' below:

Listen to 'Lunastakaa': https://turmionkatilot.bfan.link/lunastakaa

Pre-order Resodance: https://turmionkatilot.bfan.link/resodance

Composer of the song, RunQ, comments:
"Various demos have usually ended up waiting for the right moment to be released. When I was doing this, I immediately felt that this might not end up on the waiting list, at least not for a very long time ;) "

Shag-U adds:
“I often write songs by looking in the mirror, but with ‘Lunastakaa’, the mirror became a window. The lyrics grew out of news stories about the abuse of power and exploitation, and questions about how deeply a person can be broken and whether there can ever be justice or compensation for what has happened. I love the contrast between the song’s upbeat, energetic feel and the way the lyrics twist that world into something grotesque – that’s one of the things I love most about Turmion Kätilöt. Later, someone also found a more self-ironic interpretation in the lyrics: artists turning themselves into commodities in exchange for money, visibility or approval. That fits this world frighteningly well, too.”

The Ultimate Live Spectacle: Colossal Disco

The strategic release of Resodance serves as the perfect fuel for the band's most massive headlining milestone to date. On October 24, 2026—just one day after the full record drops—TURMION KÄTILÖT will host their monumental "Colossal Disco" event at the legendary Helsinki Ice Hall (Helsingin jäähalli).

Several thousand fans are set to pack the arena, ready to bring the ice-ring to a definitive boil.

August 23, 2026

Denver heavy metal torchbearers KHEMMIS have unveiled their recent in-studio performance for Seattle's legendary KEXP, delivering a crushing showcase of the band's signature blend of doom, melody and classic heavy metal.

Filmed at KEXP's Seattle studios, the session captures KHEMMIS in their natural element, bringing the towering riffs and emotional weight of their celebrated live show into one of independent music's most revered performance spaces.

WATCH KHEMMIS LIVE ON KEXP BELOW:

The performance arrives on the heels of the release of the band's acclaimed fifth studio album, Khemmis, available now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records. The eight-song record marks KHEMMIS' first full-length since 2021's Deceiver and finds the band channeling more than a decade of evolution into a focused celebration of the heavy music that brought them together.

Featuring the singles "Invocation of the Dreamer," "Beneath the Scythe" and "Gilded Chambers," Khemmis further expands the band's unmistakable sound, balancing monolithic doom, soaring melodies, searing leads and moments of extreme-metal ferocity across eight tracks.

ENSLAVED - announces new studio album 'Mið' & reveals new track/video 'Solar Will'

August 20, 2026

Progressive trailblazers Enslaved have officially announced their forthcoming studio album, Mið, set for release on October 30 via Nuclear Blast Records. Throughout their 35 year journey, across 17 albums, the Norwegian vanguard have continually redefined the boundaries of progressive black metal, weaving Old Norse histories and sacred traditions into complex modern soundscapes. With their latest offering, Enslaved turn their gaze toward the fundamental concept of the axis: the middle, the origin, and the infinite reach of the present moment.

Alongside this news, the band have unveiled the transcendant new single 'Solar Will', both a paean to a divine spark, and a testament to the album title’s fundamental concept: a centre whose reach is infinite. It's accompanying video was created by Kolibri Media, long term partners of Enslaved based in Bergen.

Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson stated:
"There have been sun cults as long as Magic Man has been around (at least). The Sun is a nurturing and terrifying parent that can grant as well as obliterate life totally. Such a classic and awe-inspiring object of our worship and myths requires classic and awesome riffs, Bonham-esque drum grooves and blistering melodic flares celebrating its horrific glory. This is what that sounds like to me: “Solar Will”!"

Voicalist / bassist Grutle Kjellson adds:

“Solar Will explores archetypal conflicts, those that manifest in nature, the cosmos, mythology, and, above all, within the human mind. In this instance, the central struggle is expressed through one of the enduring rivalries found in Norse mythology, embodied by two important, though often somewhat overlooked, figures within the pantheon. Readers familiar with the Norse mythological tradition will likely recognize the identities rather instantly, yet I shall refrain from naming them, allowing each reader the opportunity to engage with and decipher the lyrics on their own. After all, perhaps this is one of the essential functions of lyric writing: to invite interpretation and cultivate a sense of wonder? The conclusion, or more precisely, the absence of one, suggests that, for human beings, chaos and dreams are at least as significant as the realities we perceive through our senses. Ultimately, the work advocates not for resolution, but for the acceptance, assimilation, and shaping of these often contradictory forces."

Tickets available here: Tour - Enslaved

Never faltering, Norway’s iconic Enslaved continue to exist as one of the most original and dependable components in our scene's indestructible backbone. Possessing the reputation as one of the most riveting live acts around, they never fail to offer us talent of the highest calibre, always doing justice to their signature black/progressive sound. Enslaved was formed in 1991 by Ivar Bjørnson and Grutle Kjellson, releasing their first demo Yggdrasill in the summer of 1992, their legendary mini-album Hordanes Land coming out in 1993, and with their debut full-length Vikingligr Veldi arriving in the spring of 1994.

It’s a rare and remarkable feat that 35 years and now 17 albums in, Enslaved’s horizons still continue to expand. Every stage of the Bergen band’s evolution, every new phase entered, has felt like an organic act of discovery and renewal. Their journey has been at once a commitment to a promise that found its embryonic form in the Norwegian black metal scene they emerged from, and a willingness to challenge both orthodoxy and themselves from the off to make that potential manifest.

Enslaved’s new album, Mið, an Old Norse word for ‘centre’, or ‘middle’, marks another departure, and another new beginning. The band have always dealt in states of transition, nor least on the thematically linked, mythology-steeped rites of passage that were 2020’s Utgard and 2023’s Heimdal. What lay beyond, however, was… unexpected.

Mið is an album that sheds light on harmonies and dialogues embedded all around us: between the ways of the past, and how they can bring enlightenment to the present, between small kernels of truth and their ability to project onto the most universal on canvases, and between band members relying on instinct and each other to create a record that galvanises on every possible level.

Tickets will be available to the public on Friday, August 21st at 10:00AM Local Time at BIGASSTRUCKIE.COM.

“We’re super stoked to hit the road this fall for our record release headliner with our homies in Chamber and Mugshot, many friends will be made and many pits will be moshed. Come through and do a backflip, this might be the biggest tour ever conceived.”

The upcoming run will see BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. hauling their high-octane brand of hardcore across the U.S. and Canada, bringing a rotating cast of some of the scene’s most punishing up-and-coming bands along for the ride as well as performances at Warped Tour dates and Furnace Fest. The tour follows a relentless year on the road for the Inland Empire crew, who have been steadily building a reputation for chaotic, no-holds-barred live shows.

The band recently unleashed their latest single, “PUSHED BEYOND THE BRINK,” via Nuclear Blast Records. A full-throttle follow-up to 2025’s pit anthem “BACK WHEEL STOMP,” the track delivers another dose of BIG ASS TRUCK I.E.’s signature combination of massive riffs, crushing breakdowns and pure vehicular mayhem.

GRAVEYARD - release stomping new single 'A Means To An End' + start pre-order for new album 'Fever'

August 16, 2026

One of the most distinctive and revered forces in modern rock music, Sweden's very own GRAVEYARD are back with a brand new single, 'A Means To An End', the first glimpse at their highly anticipated 7th studio album Fever, which will be released on October 9th, 2026 worldwide on Nuclear Blast Records.

Arriving three years after the gloomier, introverted Six, GRAVEYARD are literally turning up the heat by delivering a sonic experience that is drenched in fuzz and distortion, sporting massive Sabbath-ian grooves on opener ‘Back From The Grave’, CCR fuelled grandeur on ‘Time To Tell’ and straight-forward, hard hitting rock on ‘Room Tempered’, ‘Tongue Tied’ and ‘Means To An End’. Formed in 2006, the band collectively emphasizes the fierce spirit of the album.

With Fever, the band returns to the forefront of the scene with a noticeably heavier, more direct sound. They’ve entrusted the mixing duties to Pelle Gunnerfeldt who is widely renowned for capturing the ferocious energy of bands such as The Hives, Refused, and recently Viagra Boys whereas mastering was handled by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering. Amidst its sheer drive, GRAVEYARD retained the undeniable, blues-soaked soul that originally defined their breakthrough album, Hisingen Blues, on slower songs like album closer ‘Dead Note’ yet with a good dose of fiery anger.

After the fairly subtle, mysterious art on Six, GRAVEYARD went for a striking visual approach on Fever relying on acclaimed Dutch artist Maarten Donders who cooperated with the band on their Split 7” with Goat, and whose work has been prominently showcased at cult festival Roadburn, featuring designs for more than 50 artists, ranging from Acid King to legendary Frank Zappa.

With two number-one albums in Sweden already to their name, GRAVEYARD will initiate the touring cycle with a co-headline run through Scandinavia with Blues Pills to properly celebrate the release of Fever, followed by Europe/UK wide touring and festivals in 2027.

Brace for impact, GRAVEYARD came back from the grave and they caught a Fever.

GREEN LUNG - Hijack The Airwaves With New Single 'Black Magick Radio'

August 13, 2026

In the outlaw spirit of 1960s pirate radio, Green Lung have hijacked the airwaves to broadcast their own distinctive form of sonic propaganda. Turning the dial left and tuning into vintage influences from Lucifer’s Friend to Black Widow, new single 'Black Magick Radio' traces the history of occult rock itself, as well as namechecking London proto-goth landmarks such as Le Macabre (a Soho cafe where you could ‘drink your coffee off a coffin’) and The Process Church of the Final Judgement (a pre-Manson cult based in Mayfair). A celebration of magickal rock through the ages and around the world, this new transmission will charm initiates and ipsissimi alike.

'Black Magick Radio' is taken from Green Lung's upcoming studio record, Necropolitan, due out on Friday September 11th 2026. A monumental portrait of the power of nature over the dreams and dominion of humankind, Necropolitan is also a grand celebration of the occult lore and heavy music scene of the band’s birthplace, the city of London.

A video directed by Billy Howard Price premieres today, featuring a model suburban family rendered helpless in the radius of the song’s occult power.

With producer Tom Dalgety (Opeth, Ghost) at the helm, this time handling everything from recording to mixing, the band decamped to Rockfield Studios in January 2026, following in the muddy footprints of some of their key inspirations, from Black Sabbath to Queen to Judas Priest. Sonically, they were set on capturing their megalithic live sound more accurately than ever - stripping back their usual dense, multilayered arrangements to their rawest, leanest form and recording much of the album live to capture their Sabbathian heaviness, frenzied Hammonds and haunting Mellotrons as faithfully as possible.

The result is an album that combines the soaring hookiness of This Heathen Land with an uncompromising rawness and heaviness, and takes the band’s distinctive brand of sonic storytelling to macabre new heights.

If, a year after Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning show and the death of Ozzy Osbourne, you had any doubts about the future of traditional British metal, Necropolitan will lay them to rest. Here is a band taking the torch from the heavy metal godfathers and running with it, bursting with all the musicianship and storytelling flair that has kept the genre’s flame burning for a half-century, and using it to temper a lyrical and sonic world that is entirely their own.

A cult band in every sense of the word, Green Lung emerged from London’s heavy rock scene with self-released debut EP Free the Witch (2018).

Drawing on a host of peculiarly British musical influences, from doomy hard rock to pastoral prog and psych to the Hammer Horror theatrics of the NWOBHM, the band have swiftly risen to the forefront of the UK metal scene.

Lyrically celebrating the folklore, myths and legends of Britain, they conjure the wild and witchy spirit of their forebears for a new generation.

Green Lung have released three critically acclaimed albums, Woodland Rites (2019), Black Harvest (2021) and This Heathen Land (2023). They have toured internationally with Clutch, Opeth and Unto Others, and performed on festival stages from Roadburn to Download. Their latest album This Heathen Land landed at #1 on the UK’s Official Rock and Metal Album Chart.

STELLAR CIRCUITS RELEASE NEW SINGLE 'IN THE SMOKE'

August 4, 2026

Alternative metal innovators STELLAR CIRCUITS have unveiled their powerful new single, ‘In the Smoke,’ alongside an official visualizer, available today via Nuclear Blast Records.

Following an impressive run of standalone releases throughout 2026, including ‘Spotlight,’ ‘Wounded Healer,’ and ‘Stargazer,’ ‘In the Smoke’ finds STELLAR CIRCUITS continuing to expand their signature blend of crushing heaviness, immersive atmosphere, and emotionally charged songwriting. Equal parts forceful and introspective, the track further demonstrates the band's ability to balance technical precision with deeply expressive composition.

Moving between driving intensity and moments of fragile restraint, ‘In the Smoke’ explores the uneasy space where clarity dissolves into fixation. Crushing riffs give way to disoriented calm as the song lingers in themes of failure, surrender, and obsession, capturing the feeling of becoming consumed by something that clouds every thought until nothing else remains in focus.

Stream ‘In The Smoke’: https://sc.bfan.link/in-the-smoke

‘IN THE SMOKE’ VISUALIZER BELOW:

Released in late 2025 to widespread praise from fans and critics alike, Phantom :: Phoenix represented a defining moment for STELLAR CIRCUITS, showcasing the band's ability to merge progressive complexity, crushing heaviness, and cinematic atmosphere with deeply personal songwriting. Exploring themes of rebirth, perseverance, and self-discovery through tracks such as ‘I See Your Spirit,’ ‘Corridor,’ and ‘Bury The Ashes,’ the album further cemented the band's reputation for crafting emotionally resonant music without sacrificing technical prowess or intensity.

Building on that momentum, STELLAR CIRCUITS have spent 2026 on an impressive creative run, releasing a string of standalone singles including ’Spotlight,’ ‘Wounded Healer,’ ‘Stargazer’ and now ‘In The Smoke.’ Each release has further expanded the band's sonic palette while reinforcing the dynamic songwriting and emotional depth that continue to define their evolution.

Later this year, STELLAR CIRCUITS will embark on an extensive European tour with EVERGREYand IGNEA, bringing their latest material to fans across the continent.

TURMION KÄTILÖT - Announce 12th Studio Album 'Resodance'; Watch The Video For 'Raivotarjonta'

July 30, 2026

High-octane Finnish industrial metal masters TURMION KÄTILÖT have officially announced their highly anticipated 12th studio album, Resodance, scheduled for global release on October 23, 2026, via Nuclear Blast Records.

Produced by Mikko Tegelman alongside the band, the upcoming record perfectly captures the ferocious, raw energy of the band's legendary live performances. Musically and lyrically, Resodance dives deep into sonic experimentation, exploring dark, interconnected themes of universal cycles, resonance, and personal transformation.

To celebrate the announcement, the band has unleashed the album's fierce first single, 'Raivotarjonta', accompanied by a high-octane, sweaty, fast-paced music video. The track serves as a perfect blueprint for the album's overall direction: crushing guitar riffs meet pulsating electronic beats, while aggressive vocal deliveries collide head-on with unforgettable melodic hooks.

Known for wrapping dark, heavy subject matter in an irresistible sense of rhythm and theatrical spectacle, TURMION KÄTILÖT promises that Resodance will be their most electrifying and transformative chapter yet.

Watch the video for 'Raivotarjonta' below:

Pre-order Resodance: https://turmionkatilot.bfan.link/resodance

Vocalist Shag-U comments on the single:
"The lyrics started from the saying, "It can't really hurt if it doesn't even draw blood," which took on a life of its own as I watched the strange world of social media and the way people speak to one another. The idea that words can't destroy someone is absurd. Most of us know, at the very least, of someone who ended up doing something irreversible because of them. From there, the story began to take shape around a person who finally snaps. Rage boils over from beneath despair as the situation hurtles towards its inevitable breaking point. Pain doesn't need a face. All you have to do is look in the mirror. Add a touch of personal experience, the title Raivotarjonta suggested by MC Raaka Pee, and there it was."

MC Raaka Pee adds:
"Raivotarjonta doesn't move forward – it breathes. Driven by restless rhythms and stripped-back harmonies, it draws inspiration from the cold, uncompromising machine music of the late '90s and early 2000s, where simplicity becomes overwhelming through tension, contrast and sheer weight."

About Turmion Kätilöt:
Formed in 2003, Turmion Kätilöt (Midwives of Destruction) have carved out a unique legacy as the undisputed kings of Finnish industrial metal. Melding fierce metal instrumentation with danceable electronic beats, the band has earned gold records, topped national charts, and built a reputation for delivering some of the most chaotic, energetic, and visually spectacular live shows in the European heavy music scene.

CULT ICON SHERI MOON ZOMBIE UNVEILS DEBUT SINGLE & VIDEO "I LOVE MY ROBOT"

July 27, 2026

Cult icon, actress, designer, and longtime horror favorite SHERI MOON ZOMBIE expands her creative universe today with the release of her debut single and music video, "I Love My Robot." Helmed by acclaimed producer Zeuss and accompanied by a video directed by ROB ZOMBIE, the track blends retro sci-fi, playful camp, and infectious hooks into an irresistibly offbeat anthem that is unmistakably SHERI.

Equal parts tongue-in-cheek and surprisingly timely, "I Love My Robot" offers a witty take on life in an increasingly algorithm-driven world. Beneath its infectious energy and B-movie charm, the song celebrates imagination, individuality, and the simple joy of thinking for yourself. It's a playful reminder that while technology may make life easier, nothing can replace genuine creativity or human connection.

Coinciding with today's release, Nuclear Blast has launched pre-orders for an exclusive 12-inch picture disc featuring "I Love My Robot" on Side A and Rob Zombie's "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman" on Side B. Limited to just 600 copies worldwide (500 US / 100 EU), the one-time pressing is scheduled for release on October 30, making it an essential collector's item for fans of the Zombieuniverse.

The release also arrives ahead of ROB ZOMBIE’s North American summer tour with MARILYN MANSON in support of his latest studio album, The Great Satan, further celebrating a creatively prolific year for the ZOMBIE camp.

EIVØR - announces new studio album Tungl; unveils song Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden

July 19, 2026

Transcendent Faroese artist Eivør has unveiled the next phase of her remarkable artistic journey. On October 16th this year, Eivør will release her new studio album, Tungl, the Faroese word meaning ‘moon’.

Eivør has offered a deeper glimpse into her newest musical vision with the release of new song Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden accompanied by a breathtaking video filmed in Svínadalur, Iceland, by director Krassasig (Kristinn Arnar Sigurðsson). Watch Below.

Eivør imparts about the song:

"I’m excited to share my new song, Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden, with you.

The song is a tribute to the fierce, intuitive force that lives within us all. While my previous single, Healer, explored resilience, Dragon Maiden feels more like an awakening, a reminder of the power that has always been within you.

The song began as a poem that had been quietly living in the back of my mind for a long time. I wanted to capture that beautiful, liberating feeling of letting go of the need to control everything and opening yourself to whatever life may bring. I invited one of my favourite poetic minds, Marjun S. Kjelnæs, to finish the poem with me, and I’m so proud of what we created together.

I produced and recorded the song with my partner in crime, Tróndur Bogason, and my band. I wanted it to feel playful and danceable, while still carrying an undercurrent of melancholy. I love the contrast between movement and stillness, light and shadow, and I think this song lives somewhere between those worlds.

Dragon Maiden is about trusting your intuition, embracing uncertainty, and finding the courage to surrender to life's unfolding. Sometimes the strongest thing we can do is stop trying to control everything and simply allow ourselves to be carried forward. I hope this song encourages people to reconnect with that part of themselves."

To celebrate the release of Tungl, Eivør will present two special album release concerts this October. The first takes place on 17 October at Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, before she returns to Harpa's Eldborg Hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 23 October for a unique performance featuring special guest musicians in one of the Nordic region's most iconic concert halls. These intimate events will offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience Tunglperformed in a special setting before Eivør embarks on her extensive international tour.

Eivør will also be undertaking an extensive headline tour across North America later this year, and across Europe and the UK into 2027.

If Eivør’s last album, Enn, marked the beginning of a darker, more atmospheric phase, her forthcoming release, Tungl – the Faroese word for ‘moon’ – and her first for the powerhouse German metal label Nuclear Blast, sees her reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.

As Eivør herself says:

“Tungl explores the ever-changing cycles of life – its songs move between moments of tenderness and heartache, love and loss, and the emotional tides that shape us. Like the moon that inspired its title, Tungl serves as a gentle guide through life’s darker passages, illuminating the beauty, resilience, and transformation found along the way.”

SABATON - Announce The Last Stand (10th Anniversary Edition) Out On September 11th

July 15, 2026

Swedish metal Heavyweights SABATON have officially announced that on September 11th, 2026, their definitive blockbuster album, The Last Stand, will be re-released as a limited 10th Anniversary Edition via Nuclear Blast Records.

To do justice to this incredible milestone, the album will not only be released for the first time with all bonus tracks, but there will also be limited editions available featuring alternative artwork, along with live videos recorded at Sabaton Open Air 2016.

First released in 2016, The Last Stand conquered the world, cracking the Worldwide Top 10 and hitting #1 in multiple countries. The grand-scale concept album delivered SABATON's signature, explosive heavy metal, unleashing fan-favorite tracks and setlist favourites such as 'The Last Stand', 'Winged Hussars', 'Shiroyama' and many more!

Pär Sundström commented:
“Who would have believed that 10 years could fly by so fast? We have so many great memories tied to 'The Last Stand', so we're really happy to celebrate its 10th anniversary with the special edition vinyl and digibook with all the extras.

If you get your hands on the digibook, you'll find bonus video footage that captures Thobbe - our guitarist - playing his final show with us at Sabaton Open Air in 2016 before stepping away for an eight-year vacation. In a way, it became his own "Last Stand"! Of course, none of us knew at the time that he'd eventually return to the band in 2024, which makes looking back at those moments even more meaningful. It's a poignant chapter in our history, and the perfect thing to share as we celebrate the album's 10th birthday.”
