DEATH ANGEL REVEALS NEW SINGLE 'THE NEVER WAS' AHEAD OF EURO/AUS TOURS AND HOLIDAY SHOWS

November 5, 2026

Bay Area thrash metal veterans DEATH ANGEL have unleashed a brand new single, ‘The Never Was,’ accompanied by an official lyric visualizer. The track arrives as the band prepares for an extensive run of international touring, including upcoming performances across Europe and Australia, as well as their annual holiday shows.

A relentless display of the speed, precision and aggression that have defined the band's sound for more than four decades, ‘The Never Was’ delivers another dose of the uncompromising thrash metal that has cemented DEATH ANGEL's reputation as one of the genre's most enduring and influential acts.

Vocalist Mark Osegueda comments:

“We’re excited to unleash a brand new Death Angel track, called ‘The Never Was’! Lyrically it’s inspired by self centered people that feel the need to make every conversation, tragedy, including someone else’s success or even death all about themselves. Without fail they do it time and again. They truly think they are glorious in every way. Especially now with social media they have a bigger outlet and platform to glorify what they feel is their brilliance and/or opinion on the matter while always circling back to themselves. Everyone knows someone like this whether it be in business, sports, acting and most definitely in music! The thing that amazes me most is that most of these exhaustingly annoying ego-maniacs have no idea that they are doing it. However it is very apparent to everyone around them.

This song is basically the Thrash Metal bastard spawn of ‘You’re So Vain’ by Carly Simon. As it was inspired by a couple of actual people that are too damn self absorbed to ever realize collectively they were my muse. In the ugliest way! We all know someone like this. And I just wanted to express my disgust in that human trait the best way possible! Angry music!

See you on the road! Thrash!”

The official lyric visualizer for ‘The Never Was’ features original drawings and video production by Tamara Llenas of Aimed & Framed, with single cover artwork created by Mark Richards.

With new music in tow, DEATH ANGEL will soon return to the international stage for a series of highly anticipated performances throughout Europe and Australia. The band will also continue their long-running tradition of year-end holiday shows, bringing their explosive live performance to fans before closing out the year.

ZETRA - Ascend To A New Dimension On The Driving Alt-Pop Of 'Adrena'

November 4, 2026

British alternative duo ZETRA have, since their 2024 self-titled debut, always felt like beings from another dimension. Cloaked and chained with corpse paint adorning their visages, the band’s extreme, forlorn exteriors often felt at odds with their output; grandiose, glistening alternative pop that burrowed deep into the heart more than their presentation would suggest. It’s a paradox that felt key to the emotive core of ZETRA - a band who by their very existence, question whether modern consumers of music are truly listening with their ears or their eyes. Two years on from their debut however, ZETRA are reinventing themselves by returning to the natural form visually, while pushing things even further sonically than ever before on new single ‘Adrena’.

A cosmic fusion of the defiant alternative music that permeated the 90s mainstream from the likes of Republica and Garbage and the total pop mastery of artists such as Pet Shop Boys or Depeche Mode, ‘Adrena’ takes the midnight-tinged atmospherics of ZETRA’s previous output and supercharges it back to the future. Gone too is the corpse paint and cloaked silhouettes, with ‘Adrena’ finding ZETRA landing in a dynamic dystopia where retro-futurism reigns supreme, embodying a sleek, bare-faced version of a band no longer hiding behind pretense, presenting their own precision tuned modification of a sound that they previously communicated through a disguise that no longer felt fit for purpose.

For those who have been truly listening, ‘Adrena’ will feel like a natural evolution in the life cycle of one of the UK’s most beguiling alternative pop bands. For those who took ZETR in primarily through their appearance, ‘Adrena’ acts as a reintroduction to a breathlessly progressive band, in the throes of not so much a reinvention, but a re-emergence after a true advancement in their sound.

With ‘Adrena’, ZETRA open a new chapter in their otherworldly story; one that’s due to not only produce music that’s custom built to plug directly into your pleasure centres, but one that will also open up a new portal to a world of their own design. Escape into that world now and immerse yourself in ZETRA.

ENSLAVED - Celebrate Album Release Day With Visualizer For 'I Am Ice (Ft. Johan Sara Jr.)'

October 31, 2026

Progressive trailblazers Enslaved release their acclaimed seventeenth studio album, Mið (Nuclear Blast Records).

In celebration, the band have released the visualiser for focus track 'I Am Ice', featuring Sami musician Johan Sara Jr.

Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson states: “Mið is out, and I am immensely proud to share it with you. An album exploring the idea of ‘centre’ raises a question: what are we moving towards? For me, that is the quest: following an idea far enough that it begins to challenge your reasons for following it. Mythology, sound and what it means to be human keep giving us things to explore. It feels good to be here, with this record.”

Of the collaboration with Johan Sara Jr., he adds: “‘I Am Ice’ is a world of its own, with the seeds of the whole album hidden within it. Johan Sara’s joik opens a space where different ages and distant places seem to exist at once. Guitars, voices and percussive textures move through that space, with all the tension and friction their meeting brings. Some of what happens here finds its counterpart later on Mið. I like the thought of returning to the song after hearing the whole record and discovering that something familiar has taken on another meaning.”

Vocalist/bassist Grutle Kjellson adds: "I remember struggling a bit to come up with a logical vocal arrangement, so I decided to do something I rarely do: write the lyrics in their entirety without adapting them to the music. Ivar had a few lines lying around, and so had I. At the time, I was also trying to study the metrics, verse structure and origins of the Old Norse skaldic poetry. For some strange reason, I decided to try to create something resembling these ancient verses in the lyrics, and, fascinatingly enough, the lines seemed to take shape quite naturally as I went along! I shan’t claim this is written 100% like a skaldic poem, but still heavy inspired by such.

"The song is about a journey through personal darkness and the process of rising again. Once the lyrics were finished, the arrangement suddenly made sense as well – or at least, it made sense by Enslaved standards."

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.

To celebrate the arrival of Mið, Enslaved will hit the road across the UK and Europe in February 2027 as a co-headline with Iceland's Sólstafir, with support coming from Norway's Gaahls Wyrd.

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.

ROB ZOMBIE SUMMONS 'SIR LORD ACID WOLFMAN' IN NEW HALLOWEEN MUSIC VIDEO

October 30, 2026

Rock and horror icon ROB ZOMBIE celebrates Halloween with the release of his brand new music video for ‘Sir Lord Acid Wolfman,’ taken from his latest studio album, The Great Satan, available now via Nuclear Blast Records.

Arriving on the most fitting day of the year, the new video brings another chapter of Zombie's twisted musical universe to life. Fueled by monstrous riffs, infectious grooves and his unmistakable brand of macabre theatrics, ‘Sir Lord Acid Wolfman’ delivers everything fans have come to expect from the legendary musician and filmmaker.

The track was also featured as the B-side to Sheri Moon Zombie's new single ‘I Love My Robot’ that was recently released on limited-edition picture disc (sold out worldwide).

Released earlier this year, The Great Satan marked Zombie's return to his Hellbilly roots, delivering 15 tracks of high-octane, horror-infused rock and metal. Featuring songs including “Punks And Demons,” “Heathen Days,” “(I'm A) Rock 'N' Roller,” “Tarantula” and “Black Rat Coffin,” the album further solidifies his standing as one of heavy music's most distinctive creative forces.

CROWNSHIFT ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM THE SHADOWS WE BURIED FOR JANUARY 29, 2027 NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO 'IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT' NOW STREAMING

October 29, 2026

Finnish modern metal powerhouse CROWNSHIFT have officially revealed the details of their eagerly awaited second studio album, The Shadows We Buried, set for global release on January 29, 2027. Celebrating the announcement, the quartet has also premiered their thunderous new single, 'In The Dead Of Night', accompanied by a striking official music video.

Following the impact of their critically lauded self-titled debut, CROWNSHIFT - comprising seasoned musicians known for their individual histories in iconic acts such as Nightwish, Children Of Bodom, Wintersun, and Finntroll - have quickly elevated themselves from an exciting collaborative project into a dominant standalone force. Extensive international touring, standout festival appearances, European support runs alongside heavy metal royalty like Dirkschneider, and an acclaimed showing on the 2025 edition of the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise have honed the group into a razor-sharp live unit.

Now, that raw touring kineticism fuels The Shadows We Buried. The forthcoming record represents a natural yet daring evolution of the band’s signature sound, interweaving modern melodic death metal riffs with progressive flourishes, soaring vocal hooks, and dark, cinematic breadth.

The lead single, 'In The Dead Of Night', sets the stage with relentless rhythmic drive and sweeping atmospheres, showcasing the band at their most focused and intense.

WATCH THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR 'IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT' BELOW:

What started as a long-held vision shared by four friends has quickly grown into one of Finland's most exciting modern metal acts. Bringing together musicians renowned for their work with Nightwish, Children Of Bodom, Wintersun and Finntroll, CROWNSHIFT has established an unmistakable identity of its own—one built on fearless songwriting, world-class musicianship and a sound that refuses to be confined by genre boundaries.

The band's self-titled debut album arrived to widespread critical acclaim, earning rave reviews from the international metal press and making an immediate impact on the charts. What followed was an intensive touring cycle that firmly established CROWNSHIFT as a formidable live act. From major Finnish festivals to stages across Europe, including a European tour supporting Dirkschneider (UDO), the band quickly translated its studio ambition into an electrifying live experience. In 2025, CROWNSHIFT also brought its music to the high seas as part of the legendary 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, performing alongside some of the world's leading metal artists.

Musically, CROWNSHIFT continues to blur the lines between melodic death metal, modern metal and progressive influences. Crushing riffs meet soaring melodies, technical precision serves memorable songwriting, and cinematic atmospheres seamlessly coexist with relentless heaviness. Every song is driven by the band's commitment to constant evolution while remaining unmistakably CROWNSHIFT.

Now, the quartet enters its next chapter with its sophomore album, The Shadows We Buried. Building upon the foundation of the acclaimed debut, the new record pushes the band's sonic identity even further—heavier, more melodic and more dynamic than ever before. It captures a band that has grown through countless miles on the road, relentless creative ambition and an uncompromising desire to keep moving forward.

Having already earned the respect of fans, critics and fellow musicians alike, CROWNSHIFT stands ready to take the next step. The Shadows We Buried is not a reinvention, but the sound of a band fully realizing its vision.

BAT PAYS TRIBUTE TO VENOM LEGEND CRONOS WITH PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED COVER OF 'LIVE LIKE AN ANGEL (DIE LIKE A DEVIL)'

October 27, 2026

Channeling the raw, primitive speed that birthed extreme metal, Richmond metal-punks BAT have unleashed a scorching cover of VENOM’s classic 'Live Like an Angel (Die Like a Devil).'

As a foundational influence on BAT’s own brand of heavy speed metal, the cover serves as a direct tribute to Conrad “Cronos” Thomas Lant. Engineered by Ian Whalen and Yavé Rust, mixed and mastered by Joel Grind and featuring original drummer Felix Griffin, BAT’s 2015 rendition captures the relentless, primitive drive that defined a genre. 'Live Like an Angel (Die Like a Devil)' is available now on Bandcamp.

BAT's Ryan Waste comments, “It’s undeniable the impact that Cronos and Venom has had on myself and BAT. In the early days of the band we wore our influences on our sleeve, covering Motörhead and Venom in our live set. When it came time to record our debut full length, “Wings Of Chains” back in 2015, we tracked “Live Like an Angel (Die Like a Devil)” along with the 12 originals. It’s been lying dormant in the vaults for over ten years and upon hearing the news of Conrad’s passing, we decided to resurrect it in his honor.”

ABOUT BAT:
The power trio, including Ryan Waste, Nick Poulos, and Chris Marshall, decamped to Philadelphia in June 2021 where Arthur Rizk recorded the basic tracks for Under The Crooked Claw. Yavé Rust tracked lead guitars and vocals later when the band was back in Richmond, ultimately to be mixed by Rizk and mastered by Joel Grind. The artwork for the album was inked by Brandon Holt and colored by Margaret Rolicki.

Jam-packed with tight, concise songs loaded with punchy choruses and lightning-laced leads, each of the 13 tracks offers a new horror short story mixing the perfect blend of heavy metal, punk, and rock ‘n’ roll or as Waste coins it "primitive heavy speed".

TURMION KÄTILÖT - "Resodance" Out NOW !

October 24, 2026

Finnish industrial metal pioneers TURMION KÄTILÖT proudly announce the release of their highly anticipated twelfth studio album, Resodance, out now via Nuclear Blast Records. The new record marks another milestone in the band's evolution, seamlessly blending their signature electronic-infused metal chaos with deep, conceptual artistry.

Produced by Mikko Tegelman alongside the band, Resodance masterfully captures the raw intensity and immediacy of Turmion Kätilöt's legendary live performances. At the same time, it introduces a carefully constructed conceptual framework that sets it apart from traditional releases.

As vocalist and co-founder MC Raaka Pee describes it:

"Resodance completes a circle while continuing an endless cycle, much like the Ouroboros – the eternal serpent devouring its own tail. Every song represents an hour, every note its own colour and character. Across twelve tracks unfolds a continuous dance of resonance, where every moment finds its own distinct tone."

This overarching philosophy runs deep throughout the record. Rather than simply delivering another collection of individual songs, Resodance presents a dynamic, 12-track journey where tension, melody, and heavy industrial rhythms constantly interact. The result is a sonic experience that feels both grandly cinematic and aggressively immediate.

To celebrate the global release, the band has also dropped an epic, visually stunning music video for the new focus track, ‘Näe Minut’.

Watch the video for 'Näe Minut' below:

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.

To further support the new release, the band will take their legendary, high-octane live show across Europe in February 2027. The tour promises to bring the industrial dance floor to life, featuring a mix of brand-new tracks from Resodance alongside fan-favorite anthems.

BEAST IN BLACK - UNLEASH MAJESTIC NEW POWER BALLAD ‘LOST CHILDREN’

October 22, 2026

International powerhouse BEAST IN BLACK have proudly revealed 'Lost Children', the breathtaking next track from their highly anticipated upcoming fourth studio album, Fear The Beast.

Arriving just in time to fuel the anticipation for their upcoming gigantic headline tour—which officially kicks off in London on October 26—'Lost Children' delivers a sweeping, truly epic power ballad experience. Deepening the band's long-standing creative love affair with the iconic manga Berserk, the track features a towering vocal performance from frontman Yannis Papadopoulos, who pushes his soaring, dramatic voice to phenomenal new heights.

To visually match the grand scale of the song, the band has once again collaborated with award-winning director Katri Ilona Koppanen to deliver a stunning and cinematic music video that perfectly captures the majestic, emotional weight of the track.

Watch the video for 'Lost Children' Below :
Listen to ‘Lost Children’: https://beastinblack.bfan.link/lcsg

Anton Kabanen explains:

”Lost Children Chapter” is one of my absolute favourite parts of Berserk manga, if not my favourite. It had an enormous impact on me when I first read it, some 20 years ago, and ever since I wanted to write songs (or at least one!) about it. I wanted to find my own way to tell this important, tragic and heart-wrenching story, while staying true to its delicate child-like purity and meaningful core.

What makes the story so powerful is its emotional complexity. Children are generally seen as innocent and pure, and in many ways they are also victims of their circumstances. Rosine (girl from the story) is a particularly fascinating example of this contradiction. She becomes the antagonist and commits genuinely terrible acts, yet deep down, she isn't inherently evil. She's a vulnerable child who has been pushed into a tragic situation.

When the God Hand (from Berserk) offers someone a way out of unimaginable suffering, it's difficult to say how most people would respond. You can understand why Rosine makes the choices she does without necessarily being able to forgive what she does.

That's what makes the story emotionally turbulent. You experience anger, horror, sadness and compassion, sometimes almost simultaneously. By the end, there's a sense of emotional absolution, because you realise that the character you've been fighting against is also a victim herself. It's not a straightforward story of good versus evil. The emotions are contradictory, and that's precisely why it's so deeply moving.

I wish to add that with Katri's visual and emotional storytelling abilities she created a beautiful, unique, layered and the most soulful Beast In Black music video to date, which connects to a human heart and reminds us how fragile it is, and yet so sincerely hopeful in its innocent core. We all have been children, we all are someone's children, some of us have children. And we all are drawn to that warm light glowing softly in the window called home."

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. HIT FULL THROTTLE WITH NEW EP 'FOUND ON ROAD DEAD' AND "BIG ASS GUN" VIDEO

October 20, 2026

Southern California's BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. are putting the pedal to the metal with today's release of their explosive debut EP, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD, available now via Nuclear Blast Records. To celebrate, the Inland Empire hardcore wrecking crew has unleashed a brand new music video for the EP's pit-destroying anthem ‘BIG ASS GUN,’ directed by Chris Klumpp (156/Silence, Currents).

Clocking in at just under two minutes, ‘BIG ASS GUN’ is a relentless barrage of crushing riffs, bone-rattling breakdowns and irresistible two-step grooves. Already a fan favorite at the band's notoriously chaotic live shows, the track wastes absolutely no time getting down to business, delivering a concentrated dose of hardcore brutality designed to incite immediate headbanging and full-scale mosh pit destruction. No filler, no wasted motion, just pure, unfiltered aggression.

Stream/Purchase FOUND ON ROAD DEAD: https://bigassmftruck.bfan.link/found-on-road-dead

WATCH ‘BIG ASS GUN’ MUSIC VIDEO BELOW:

The five-track FOUND ON ROAD DEAD EP is a thunderous introduction to one of hardcore's most outrageous new acts. Hailing from California's Inland Empire, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have carved out their own lane in the heavy music underground, combining pulverizing metallic hardcore, massive breakdowns and an unapologetically over-the-top monster truck aesthetic. From the punishing assault of previously released single "DRAGGING MEAT" to the sheer blunt-force impact of "BIG ASS GUN," the EP delivers an uncompromising soundtrack to absolute mayhem.

In addition to its digital release, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD is being offered in several collectible physical editions. The limited Black Tire Edition, a 10-inch tire-inspired vinyl pressing, is available beginning October 20th, alongside a new EP T-shirt. Two additional vinyl variants, the F.O.R.D. Edition and the Crusher Edition (independent record store exclusive), are available for pre-order starting October 20th, with both editions scheduled for release on December 11th.

Coinciding with the release, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. will embark on their first North American headlining tour today, October 20th, kicking things off in San Diego, CA. The extensive coast-to-coast trek will bring the band's explosive live show to more than two dozen cities across the United States and Canada before concluding November 25th in Pomona, CA.

The tour features support from CHAMBER, MUGSHOT, LOAD THA NINE, SURFACED, RESTRICTOR PLATE and LIE on select dates, along with an appearance at Warped Tour Orlando.

Following that, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. will head to the UK in January for a headlining tour with support from local hardcore crew PINTGLASS.

Eivør celebrates album release with new video 'Og Mánin Græt / And The Moon Cried'

October 16, 2026

Faroese visionary artist EIVØR today releases her stunning new album Tungl (16th October, Nuclear Blast Records).

To mark the occasion, you can now watch the new video for 'Og Mánin Græt / And The Moon Cried' below:

Get Tungl here: https://eivor.bfan.link/tungl

Eivør comments: "The song is about a faint memory that still lingers, almost like a dream.

"I remember looking up at the moon in the dark sky when I was little, wondering why it always looked so sad. I would imagine all sorts of reasons, and my imagination would just wander off.

"The music video for this track was created by the incredible Gwenaël Akira. I just love how he understands my music in such a visual way and how he manages to capture the raw emotions, nature and a distorted dream like reality that captures the essence of this song beautifully."

Whether you’re already embedded into Eivør’s ever-expanding world or yet to fall under its spell, Tungl is a far-reaching journey of discovery.

Tungl – a Faroese word for ‘moon’ – sees Eivør 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.

Eivør has spent the summer performing across Europe, presenting a select number of headline concerts and appearing at leading festivals including Paléo Festival, Brutal Assault and Summer Breeze. She has two summer performances left, at ArcTanGent (UK) and Sun and Thunder Festival (Spain).

To celebrate the release of Tungl, Eivør will present three special album release concerts this October. Eivør will be playing two consecutive nights at Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, today 16th and tomorrow 17th October, before she returns to Harpa's Eldborg Hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 23rd 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 Tungl performed 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.

For over two decades, Faroese artist Eivør has been regarded as one of the most bewitching and fearless voices to have emerged from the Nordic music scene. Ranging across rock, pop noir, jazz and folk to electronica over the course of 11 solo albums, various collaborations, live albums and soundtrack work including The Last Kingdom, God of War and God of War Ragnarök, her musical path has revealed both a restless, explorative spirit and a singer deeply connected to her Faroese roots, earning her the Nordic Council Music Prizealong the way.

It’s testament to the singular yet universal nature of her music that her fanbase has grown to include metalheads and the Norse pagan folk scene – for whom her startling voice, hide drum and throat-chant incantation, Trøllabundin, has become an unofficial anthem – as well as the mainstream, all instinctively understanding that music coming from a place of true authenticity knows no boundaries.

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.”

RELIQA - Announce New Album "High Risk Thoughts" - Stream New Single "Serum"

October 13, 2026

Australian metalcore quartet RELIQA have today announced their second album High Risk Thoughts, which lands 12th February via Nuclear Blast.

To commemorate the moment, the quartet have also revealed the record's opening track, the titanic 'Serum'.

Watch the video for 'Serum' Below :

Stream 'Serum':
https://reliqa.bfan.link/serum

Pre-order High Risk Thoughts:
https://reliqa.bfan.link/high-risk-thoughts

The band comment: "'Serum'’s sound represents a sort of bridge from where we were to where we are now, so it felt apt to have it not only open the new record but also mark its announcement to the world. It's low and menacing with a mechanical edge (heavily inspired by the Danish prog legends VOLA), but we’ve also loaded it with some fun twists and turns, all part of our long-held goal to condition our listeners to expect the unexpected and be open-minded. This is the only song on the record that we’ve been consistently playing live for some time now and the reception has been full of energy, giving us high hopes for the rest of the album’s verdict."

RELIQA's debut full-length, Secrets of the Future (2024) was a wonderfully compelling and thoughtful look at what may be possible for the Sydney modern metalcore upstarts. Since then, so much of what they hoped would take place, has.

Racking up over four million streams on Secrets of the Future alone, cementing themselves as a mainstay in the Australian heavy scene, touring nationally with Northlane, Periphery, performing at Good Things and Life's A Beach festivals, and, most importantly, finding their feet as a headlining band, the quartet reached a level that had been the aim ever since they were kids.

Now, the band stand on the edge of a precipice, ready to release their incredible second album High Risk Thoughts. An album that is not just a cementing of so many of the factors that have allowed RELIQA to get to this point, but a mature extension and thrilling expansion of who and what they want to be as they move forward.

Musically, it looks to the greats of the modern genre. Shimmering with the ethereal tranquillity and gorgeous melodic control of Spiritbox at their most open; flickering with the pulsating synths and heightened tension underpinning Northlane; engaging with the forward-moving embracing of change of Bring Me The Horizon - High Risk Thoughts is an album that reaches for the stars.

Lyrically, it builds on the idea that we should give ourselves more grace in the life we are living. A sense of love, understanding and patience embedded into every crystalline refrain and soaring chorus. A reminder that by even considering how to make even more of a splash than you already have, you have already won, and that should be noted and celebrated, no matter where it lands you.

Together, it creates a record as inspiring as it is intense, as spine-tingling as it is sincere, as boundless as it is bludgeoning. A significant factor in keeping everything in check is that the band continues to keep things close to home and DIY at heart.

RELIQA will be touring North America for the very first time, in support of NORTHLANE (dates listed below). As they transform from Australia's best-kept secret to one of their most exhilarating, exuberant and electric exports, RELIQA are fast becoming the figurehead to show what doing things your own way can achieve.

GRAVEYARD - Release Lyric Video For 'Back From The Grave', The Opening Track Of Their New Album "Fever" Which Is Out Now!

October 10, 2026

Rock titans GRAVEYARD have officially released their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Fever, out now worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records. Coinciding with the album’s arrival, the band has premiered an official lyric video for the album’s energetic opening track, ‘Back From The Grave’.

Right from the needle drop, the captivating groove of ‘Back From The Grave’ makes it unmistakably clear where the band is headed this time around: a triumphant return to GRAVEYARD’s heavy psych and heavy blues roots. Channeling the electrifying, vintage power of legendary albums like their much-loved classic Hisingen Blues, the track sets an explosive tone for the entire record—drenched in thick fuzz and fueled by a relentless rhythm section while still maintaining their soul-soaked grit.

The accompanying lyric video perfectly mirrors the hypnotic drive of ‘Back From The Grave’, pairing the track's infectious momentum with vintage visual styling that highlights the raw, bluesy swagger of the opening anthem.

Mixed by Pelle Gunnerfeldt—widely renowned for capturing the ferocious live energy of bands like The Hives, Refused, and Viagra Boys—and mastered by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering, Fever captures the unvarnished, high-voltage power of the Swedish quartet at full tilt.

Complemented by the record's bold visual identity created by Dutch artist Maarten Donders, Fever marks a celebrated return to form for the two-time Swedish chart-toppers. To mark today's release, GRAVEYARD will launch a co-headlining Scandinavian tour alongside BLUES PILLS, ahead of extensive European and UK tours throughout 2027.

As of today you can (and should!) stream Fever in full or puchase a physical copy via the link below.

OBSCURA - Drops Brand New Video For "The Prolonging"

October 6, 2026

Metal masters OBSCURA have surprised fans today with a brand-new music video for 'The Prolonging', a standout track from their latest album, A Sonication.

The surprise release drops just days before the band heads across the Atlantic to kick off the next leg of their A Sonication World Tour in Mexico.

Steffen Kummerer comments: "The Prolonging became one of the shortest and fastest tracks we have delivered to date — and quickly turned into a fan favourite during the recent tours supporting our latest album, A Sonication. We are looking forward to bringing The Prolonging back to the stage on our upcoming tours across North America, Europe & the UK. See you on tour — and don't miss out.“

ABOUT ALCEST:

For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, ALCEST has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, ALCEST seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene ALCEST is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene ALCEST is a weird band- we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. ANNOUNCE DEBUT EP, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD, OUT OCT 20TH VIA NUCLEAR BLAST RECORDS

October 3, 2026

Inland Empire purveyors of vehicular hardcore mayhem BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have announced their catastrophic debut EP, FOUND ON ROAD DEAD, arriving digitally and on limited edition vinyl October 20th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Along with the EP announcement, BIG ASS TRUCK I.E. have unleashed its bludgeoning first single, “DRAGGING MEAT,” accompanied by a music video directed by Astral Media/Zack Perez that captures the band’s full-throttle collision of hardcore, concussive breakdowns and monster trucking chaos.

The track arrives alongside a cinematic, high-energy music video and the official announcement of the band’s European headlining tour kicking off in February 2027.

Known for their signature blend of crushing metal riffs and relentless electronic beats, TURMION KÄTILÖT deliver a true club banger with 'Amon-Ra'. The single raises the stakes for Resodance, showcasing the band's unmatched ability to fuse dark, aggressive themes with infectious, danceable rhythms.

Vocalist Shag-U comments on the track:
“Amon-Ra brings out that delicious sense of twistedness that is absolutely essential to our music. Everyone must find their own interpretation of the world this ritual leads them into. This is a prophecy – the final omen before the album is unleashed.”

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.

ENSLAVED - unveils new single 'Tales Of Trees' + announces co-headline UK & European tour with Sólstafir

September 23, 2026

Last month, progressive trailblazers Enslaved 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.

Building on the momentum of their latest tracks 'Solar Will' and 'Spirit Helper' (feat. Kevin Kicking Woman)', the band have now unveiled the album's next captivating single, 'Tales Of Trees'. The song uses the majesty and fragility of the natural world as a mirror for the human condition. Through a blend of complex progressive structures and searing black metal atmosphere, the band draws a poignant parallel between Mother Nature and the psyche.

Voicalist / bassist Grutle Kjellson states:

"Tales of Trees is indeed tales about trees, but perhaps not first and foremost in a botanical sense. Trees can grow, shine, and flourish, but they can also wither and burn. They need to be tended to and looked after in one way or another, and thus serve as a fitting parallel to the human mind, let alone humanity as a whole. Trees as symbols of something more than mere botanical creatures have appeared throughout history, both in mythological tales and in folklore. So, I think this tale is a fitting accompaniment the the heavy and yet dynamic tunes of this composition”

Guitarist Ivar Bjørnson adds:

“‘Tales of Trees’ can be both a tribute to our wooden relatives on this planet - who have had rather a lot of patience with us; and a metaphor for so much more. The winding time signatures of folk music and the adventurous spirit of classic prog are natural ingredients in my songwriting, and they feel particularly at home here.There is something about our kinship with trees that is both deeply familiar and wonderfully strange: everyday encounters with something we barely understand. That sense of recognition and mystery is at the heart of this song, opening another path into the world of ‘Mið’.”

Stream 'Tales Of Trees' here: https://enslaved.bfan.link/tales-of-trees

To celebrate the arrival of Mið, Enslaved will hit the road across the UK and Europe in February 2027 as a co-headline with Iceland's Sólstafir, with support coming from Norway's Gaahls Wyrd.

Enslaved commented:

“Europe! In February we are heading out on a co-headlining tour with our good friends in Sólstafir. There is a kinship here that goes beyond a shared enthusiasm for questionable weather: the belief that music should be allowed to find its own path, even when it refuses to explain where it is going. Bringing ‘Mið’ into that company, and into a room with all of you, feels very right. Making a record is one part of the adventure; discovering what happens to it when we meet you out there is another. That exchange still means everything to us. See you in the flesh!”

GRAVEYARD - Unleash Video For Energetic New Single 'Tongue Tied'

September 18, 2026

Rock titans GRAVEYARD have officially unleashed their incendiary new single, ‘Tongue Tied’, available today on all digital platforms alongside an energetic official music video. The track serves as a driving second preview of their highly anticipated seventh studio album, Fever, arriving October 9th worldwide via Nuclear Blast Records.

Shaking off the gloomier, introverted atmosphere of 2023’s album Six, ‘Tongue Tied’ shifts the band into high gear. Built on an up-tempo momentum and a relentless, hard-hitting groove, the track stands out as one of the most direct and urgent songs in the band’s catalog. Drenched in thick fuzz and fueled by a blistering rhythm section, GRAVEYARDcaptures an uncompromising, high-velocity energy without sacrificing a drop of their signature, blues-soaked soul.

To visually capture the track's breakneck drive, the band enlisted acclaimed Swedish director Emil Klinta, whose visual palette has previously shaped iconic videos for Ghost and The Hellacopters. Klinta’s video mirrors the song's electric pace, matching performance-driven intensity with a sleek, cinematic rock-and-roll edge.

Mixed by Pelle Gunnerfeldt—widely renowned for capturing the ferocious live energy of bands like The Hives, Refused, and Viagra Boys—and mastered by Robin Schmidt at 24-96 Mastering, ‘Tongue Tied’ displays the raw, unvarnished power at the heart of the upcoming album.

Accompanying the record's bold visual identity created by Dutch artist Maarten Donders, Fever marks a triumphant return to form for the two-time Swedish chart-toppers. Following the album’s release on October 9th, GRAVEYARD will launch a co-headlining Scandinavian tour alongside BLUES PILLS to celebrate the release, ahead of extensive European and UK tours throughout 2027.

Stream ‘Tongue Tied’ now on all major platforms and watch the official video directed by Emil Klinta. Pre-orders for Fever are available now via Nuclear Blast Records.

EIVØR - finds solace within the imperfect in new song 'Spøkilsir / Revenants'

September 16, 2026

Faroese luminary singer-songwriter Eivør has unveiled a new track from her upcoming studio project, Tungl, due out on October 16th. Today's release Spøkilsir / Revenants weaves hypnotic dream-pop and trip-hop textures into an evocative meditation on embracing the ghosts of our past.

Eivør conveys about the song:
“In ‘Spøkilsir / Revenants,’ we find relief in the imperfect.

I think we all carry ghosts. Things in the past we would have liked to have handled differently or little flaws within ourselves we try to hide from the world. But often when we learn to fully embrace each other’s flaws, quirks and darker sides, they become endearing. We become more patient and forgiving, not only towards each other, but also towards ourselves.”

Eivør adds:

“The music video was created by my dear friend Gwenaël Akira, whose enthusiasm and dedication always make working with him inspiring. We wanted to create an inner world, a reflection of the voices, shadows and different versions of ourselves that live inside our heads. Gwenaël conceived a mirrored box, almost like a room inside the mind, and an incredible team of artists in the Faroe Islands brought it to life.”

Director Gwenaël Akira adds:
“At the heart of Spøkilsir was one constructed room: a space where one body could become many and reflections could express what cannot easily be said. Finding the emotional truth within those images with Eivør was a very special process.”

Watch the Spøkilsir / Revenants video below:

Eivør spent this summer performing across Europe, presenting a select number of headline concerts and appearing at leading festivals including Paléo Festival, Brutal Assault, Summer Breeze and ArcTanGent.

To celebrate the release of Tungl, Eivør will present three special album release concerts in October. Eivør will be playing two consecutive nights at Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands, on 16 and 17 October, 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 Tungl performed 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.

For over two decades, Faroese artist Eivør has been regarded as one of the most bewitching and fearless voices to have emerged from the Nordic music scene. Ranging across rock, pop noir, jazz and folk to electronica over the course of 11 solo albums, various collaborations, live albums and soundtrack work including The Last Kingdom, God of War and God of War Ragnarök, her musical path has revealed both a restless, explorative spirit and a singer deeply connected to her Faroese roots, earning her the Nordic Council Music Prize along the way.

It’s testament to the singular yet universal nature of her music that her fanbase has grown to include metalheads and the Norse pagan folk scene – for whom her startling voice, hide drum and throat-chant incantation, Trøllabundin, has become an unofficial anthem – as well as the mainstream, all instinctively understanding that music coming from a place of true authenticity knows no boundaries.

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.”

GREEN LUNG - Release New Studio Album "Necropolitan" & Visualizer For 'Dance To The Grave'

September 11, 2026

The long-awaited fourth album from Green Lung is finally upon us. The masters of occult riff-craft have officially released Necropolitan, which is out now via Nuclear Blast Records. A huge step forward in songwriting and vision, Necropolitan is the album Green Lung have been threatening to make since their inception.

As well as a portrait of the triumph and power of death and nature over the dreams and dominion of humankind, Necropolitan is a grand celebration of the folklore, occult and heavy music scene of the band’s birthplace, the city of London. The album title derives from the seven garden cemeteries (necropoli) circling the city, all built in the Victorian era.

Green Lung stated:
"As the summer dies, the shadows start to move… Necropolitan is finally here. Thanks to everyone who has preordered, supported or spread the word about this album over the past few months – we are eternally grateful, and can’t wait for you to finally hear it. To celebrate the release, we commissioned Joseph Brett at Jackdaw Films to animate Richard Wells’s art and create our own danse macabre. Dance to the grave!’"

Today, the band have also revealed a visualiser for 'Dance to the Grave', the record's first track. The song delivers a memento mori to the current alliance between far-right politics and tech in the face of the climate crisis, with giant, swinging riffs and a chant-along mid-section.

Order Necropolitan here:

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.
