S.O.R.M Unleashes Intense Heavy Rock Offering 'The Sacrifice'!

July 6, 2025

Swedish hard rock outfit S.O.R.M has officially unleashed their brand new track, 'The Sacrifice', which offers another powerful statement from the Lidköping-based four-piece. The stand-alone single is out now via Noble Demon and available for streaming.

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.

June 29, 2025

Australian alternative rock band Awaken I Am has officially released their highly anticipated new album, The Only Way Out Is Through, today through SBG Records. Alongside the album, the band has also dropped their new single, “Somebody Else”, now available on all major streaming platforms.

Marking their first release under SBG Records, The Only Way Out Is Throughintroduces a bold new era for Awaken I Am — one filled with raw emotion, dynamic soundscapes, and a renewed sense of purpose. The band’s signature blend of atmospheric alt-rock and emotionally charged lyrics continues to evolve, offering fans their most introspective work to date.

The band states, "Somebody Else” came from a really raw place — it’s about realizing you’ve been holding onto someone who never really saw you, and the pain of letting go. It’s a song for anyone who’s felt like they were stuck in a cycle, chasing a love that was never really theirs. Writing this helped me process that, and I hope it can help someone else feel less alone."

With a growing global fanbase and a reputation for delivering heartfelt, immersive performances, Awaken I Am is gearing up for a big year ahead!

Stay tuned for updates and tour announcements by following Awaken I Am on social media and streaming platforms.

STREAM/BUY The Only Way Out Is Through

https://linktr.ee/awakeniam

Awaken I Am is an alternative rock band from Australia, fronted by producer and vocalist Jimmy Alexander.

The band’s journey has been marked by resilience and evolution. In 2018, as they wrapped their first U.S. tour, tragedy struck back home in Brisbane. Guitarist Connor Verner-Oakley, just 22, lost his life in a devastating incident involving an intentional reckless driver. In the wake of this unimaginable loss, Awaken I Am channeled their grief into creativity, diving into the writing and recording process. The resulting songs became a cathartic tribute to their fallen bandmate—honoring his memory while confronting the pain of his absence.

As the world faced lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic, the band continued forging ahead, writing what would become their most personal and powerful work to date. Produced by Jimmy Alexander (Rain City Drive), their full-length album, The Only Way Out Is Through, released today, June 27, 2025.

The band's sound, shaped by tragedy, growth, and perseverance, continues to evolve. Their recent singles have showcased this transformation—starting with “Relic,” followed by “Turn To Stone,” which earned a spot in SiriusXM Octane’s rotation in February. "Vacant" released on Friday, April 25th, offering yet another glimpse into the raw emotional landscape the band explores with every release.

Awaken I Am stands as a testament to turning pain into power, always moving forward—through loss, through change, and through sound.

Stripping the Pistol Release New Single "Sunshine in the Rain" via TLG|ZOID

June 23, 2025

Chicago’s own Stripping the Pistol have unveiled their new single, “Sunshine in the Rain,” out now via TLG|ZOID and distributed by Virgin Music Group. The emotionally resonant track is accompanied by a lyric video and marks the band’s fifth single, continuing their tradition of rule-breaking, straight-in-your-face rock 'n' roll.

In a remarkable endorsement, the late Roy Thomas Baker—iconic producer behind Queen, The Cars, and Journey—was an outspoken fan of the song. He compared it to “music the greats made in the 1970s,” noting that while it’s not retro in sound, “it’s audacious enough to try and reach those heights.”

The band shares:

"In a bleak world people often don’t see the sunshine through the rain. For many music can provide the sunshine. We believe this song can do that for some of those listeners. While it has a feel of a ballad, we weave in some heavy elements. The ying and yang works. The dual vocals represent the two extremes of life. We believe this is a special song the like of which isn’t heard today. The late great Roy Thomas Baker who produced all the amazing Queen records was a huge fan of the song. He claimed it sounded like music the greats made in the 1970s. Not that it is a 1970s inspired track, but that it is audacious enough to try and reach those heights."

This band is about straight-in-your-face rock n’ roll. Stripping the Pistol formed with the intention of breaking the rules. The Chicago band blends aggression with melody. The seamless interplay of the dueling vocalists is balanced by the precision, power, and energy of the music.

WATCH 40 CYCLE HUM - “RISE UP” Lyric Video Below:

In a world overwhelmed with musical diversity, ideology and artistic bias, it can sometimes be a daunting task seeking out those talents truly worthy of praise. Let’s face it - everyone is aware that it should all be about the music, but in a society that thrives on social media influencers, overblown pop star frenzies dictating everything and force feeding social & corporate money making gimmicks, the music has regrettably taken a back seat. Still there are those few uncompromising musicians scattered among us that prefer to rely on good old-fashioned brow-beating hard work rather than succumb to the prefabricated mainstream success that is so prevalent in today’s modern musical arena.

Enter 40 Cycle Hum, whose genuine approach to writing and performing is sure to cause fans and industry types everywhere to stand up and take notice. This latest powerhouse offering boasts a massive punch and will no doubt have even the most docile fans throwing their fists to the air. Produced and engineered by Stevo Bruno (Five Finger Death Punch, Motley Crue, Prong), and mastered by the late great George Marino of Sterling Sound. The album features 12 scorching tracks including “Seven Stitches”, "Rise Up”, and more. In addition the CD is packaged with original artwork by famed horror director Clive Barker (Hellraiser, Lords of Illusion, Gods & Monsters). 40 CYCLE HUM is the long awaited triumphant follow-up to the band’s 2006 debut, Secret Skin!

The band’s inception featured Singer/Frontman/Guitarist Brandon Mitchell, Guitarist Rocky George (of Suicidal Tendencies/ Infections Grooves), Bassist Mike Duda (of W.A.S.P., and Drummer Francis Ruiz (Buckcherry) who were involved in much of shaping the band’s direction and songwriting approach. The industry would then call on Rocky George and Mike Duda to fulfill their responsibilities in their other respective bands. Mike was called back to W.A.S.P., and Rocky was called to FISHBONE.

It was at that time guitarist Mark Zavon (Kill Devil Hill), and Bassist Kenny Lefort joined the fold and began forging a new path ahead. As fate would dictate, the musical climate changed among other developments, and eventually resulted in the band members pursuing other musical endeavors.

While the guys have individually and collectively paid their dues, and have been a part of many musical collaborations and bands, the fact that what they created together is “worthy”. Worthy of being heard, shared, loved by true music fans, but also worthy of being performed and recognized along side of their established musical cohorts & peers. With the band members having remained in touch with each other and remaining active in the music world, the universe has now set the stage to allow 40 Cycle Hum to share the great music they have created!

“Music is a tough business; the cards are stacked against you before you even get started. But if you're in it for the right reasons it becomes its own reward. We all have to pay the bills, but at the end of the day, nothing beats doing something you really love.”

Originality is a scarce thing in music anymore, although once in a while there are definitely worthwhile exceptions. 40 Cycle Hum are no different than other musicians in that the are a product of their influences, but by combining their influences, they make music that remains fresh and relevant to today’s listeners.

Beyond Forgiveness Release New Single "Drown In Your Promises" + Lyric Video

June 15, 2025

Beyond Forgiveness unveils their latest offering, their new single “Drown In Your Promises”, accompanied by a visually captivating lyric video. This track serves as a glimpse into their upcoming album, set for release July 18, 2025.

The band states, "This song is about broken promises, and falling into a repetitive cycle of how you always find reasons to get your hopes up again, but then get devastated over and over again. Talia really likes to think about emotional concepts by using metaphors. This sort of thing seemed very similar to the cycle of rains and floods and evaporation, and storms all over again, which became the foundational concept for the song’s clean vocal lyrics. Then Richard wrote the heavy vocal lyrics from the perspective and role as an antagonist in a dramatic sense, if you consider the clean vocal lyrics as the role of the protagonist, so the exchange between the two vocal styles is also meant to be somewhat a dialogue or characterization of the sort of conflict embodied in the song’s concept."

In addition, the band will be performing at the SouthWest Power Fest on Sept 20 in El Paso, TX USA.

The forthcoming album dives deeper into the wilderness of universal human experience, pushing the boundaries of symphonic metal even further.

Where light and darkness interweave, where brutal death metal and angelic classical voices coexist on the same plane, and a story land of myth and legend transport you away into a realm of symphonic beautality, you will encounter the band Beyond Forgiveness.

The U.S. based band emerged in 2014 as a studio project formed by death metal guitarists Greg Witwer and Richard Marcus. Eventually the band solidified its lineup collaborating with classical vocalist and orchestrator Talia Hoit, drummer Sean Rogers, and bassist Jim Lasselle, combining contrasting musical styles into an epic adventure of symphonic metal.

In 2016, the band released an EP, The Ferryman’s Shore. The release was embraced by the underground symphonic metal scene with rave reviews, and the band’s signature sound was dubbed “beautality”. The band followed with touring in Europe and two additional full length albums, The Great Wall in 2017, and Live to Tell the Story in 2019, each becoming more symphonically charged. With lyrics ranging from emotional turmoil to Tolkien-esque fantasy, the music explores the paradoxes of a wide range of human experience and musical style. Incorporating extreme metal elements, as well as classical composition, the band continues to push boundaries to create art as a metaphor of life.

Fans can experience the grandeur of “Drown In Your Promises” now, as Beyond Forgiveness continues their journey—blending extreme metal, classical composition, and storytelling into a soundscape unlike any other.

Beyond Forgiveness is:

Vocals/Orchestration: Talia Hoit
Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals: Greg Witwer
Drums: Sean Rogers

With additional performances on the album:

Rhythm Guitar/Vocals: Richard Marcus

Bass: Jim Lasselle

Flute: Ann Vest

Disciples of Verity Release New Single "Break The Cycle" via TLG|ZOID

June 14, 2025

Disciples of Verity, fronted by the iconic singer Corey Glover of Living Colour, have dropped their new single, "Break the Cycle," via TLG | ZOID, with distribution by Virgin Music Group.

The track is the latest preview from their highly anticipated sophomore album, NEXUS, produced by George Pond and co-produced by Sahaj Ticotin (RA). Alongside the single, the band has released a lyric video that visually amplifies the song’s message.

Corey Pierce states, “We all face constant struggle every day and everyone seems to feel overwhelmed by many things that are happening from maintaining work, friends and family as well as the strain of politics and ever changing cultural issues. We all need to band together in order to break this cycle and move forward to a better day.”

"Break The Cycle" is now available on all major streaming platforms, and the accompanying lyric video can be viewed on the band’s official YouTube channel.

STREAM "Break the Cycle"

https://tlgent.ffm.to/dov-btc

WATCH the lyric video below:

Fueled by an insatiable urge to create and collaborate, this heavy metal incarnation seeks to challenge all that they believe to be true with their project, Disciples of Verity (DOV). The band features heavy-hitters such as Corey Glover (Living Colour), Corey Pierce (God Forbid), George Pond (Negative Sky, Swim The Current), Mark Monjoy (Sekond Skyn), and Zack Miranowic (Sekond Skyn, Riversend). This all-star band unleashes an onslaught to the senses with a new sound that can only be described as “a new breed of crossover Metal.”

The band formed just over four years ago after mutual projects brought the five members together. With Pond as the common denominator, having played with each of these artists throughout his career, his songs with Corey Glover were quickly embraced by the others, which evolved into their debut album, Pragmatic Sanction.

Over the next eight months, DOV feverishly cranked out eight heavy, hook-laden songs with one distinct element—their infectious, melodic grooves. Ranging from Hardcore, Metalcore and even Active Rock, the band knew that their debut would be like nothing else in the industry and brought in a veritable “who’s who” of the hard rock and metal industry to up the ante.

Four years have passed since the release of their first single from Pragmatic Sanction. However, now comes the dawn of a new age. They have been quietly working on 12 new tracks for their sophomore album titled NEXUS. The band worked with producer Sahaj Ticcotin, who has worked with Starset, Motley Crue, RA, Bad Wolves, and many more.This monster of a record is set to be released in 2025 through TLG/ZOID, and distributed through Virgin Music Group.

Disciples of Verity:

Corey Glover (Living Colour) – Vocals

Corey Pierce (God Forbid) - Drums

George Pond (Swim The Current, Negative Sky)- Bass

Archers New EP 'Temporary High' Out Now via SBG Records! Release new Single "Crooked Smile"

June 14, 2025

Wisconsin metalcore powerhouse ARCHERS have just dropped their new single, “Crooked Smile,” now available on all major streaming platforms. The track is taken from their brand-new EP, Temporary High, released today via SBG Records.

Produced by acclaimed producer Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Sleeping With Sirens), Temporary High captures ARCHERS’ continued evolution, blending crushing breakdowns, atmospheric textures, and emotionally charged lyrics.

In regards to the EP, the band states, "Temporary High is all about finding catharsis. It’s about breaking free from toxic cycles and finding value in oneself apart from anyone or anything that would try to usurp one’s own identity."

“Crooked smile is about finding the courage to break negative cycles. It’s about learning to cut out toxic people from your life and to move forward," says the band about the latest single.

Temporary High is available at:

https://merchnow.com/collections/archers

In addition, the band has shared some huge news! They will be hitting the road with Nothing More and Catch Your Breath from mid January through mid March 2026. The nationwide run will introduce ARCHERS’ explosive live show to even more fans as they continue building momentum into the new year.

"We are so excited and genuinely honored to be hitting the road with Nothing More in 2026! Touring with a band of this caliber is not something we take lightly and we are very excited to learn as much as we can from such seasoned vets. It will be such a treat getting to watch the incredible show they put on every night."

The band's EU/UK run kicked off June 10th in Berlin, Germany at Kantine am Berghain. Then in July, they’ll hit the road again—this time headlining a U.S. tour with support from Rivals, Of Virtue, and Dead Eyes.

Wisconsin-based band ARCHERS is making serious waves. Formed in 2015 by Ben Koehler (guitar) and Nathanael Pulley (vocals), ARCHERS quickly became known for their raw mix of metalcore and pop-rock, tackling everything from mental health to relationships with a brutally honest edge. With Oscar Porter (bass) and Grayson Mesarosh (drums) rounding out the lineup, the band’s sound has only gotten sharper.

2020's New Normal EP was a game-changer, with its powerful blend of heavy riffs and introspective lyrics drawing comparisons to bands like Dayseeker and Sleep Token. Singles like "Bitter" and "Say This Sober" showcase their ability to balance vulnerability with intensity, earning them a fiercely dedicated fanbase. ARCHERS’ music is a journey of strength and catharsis, turning life's darkest moments into anthems of resilience.

June 13, 2025

Florida-based metal juggernauts DETHFX, known as Death’s Favorite Band, have just dropped their latest sonic assault: “Recycled Souls”, the crushing lead single from their upcoming full-length album Recycled Souls. The track is now available on all streaming platforms, delivering a relentless barrage of riffs, groove, and fury that fans of classic and modern metal will feel in their bones.

Stream “Recycled Souls” HERE

WATCH "Recycled Souls" (Official Music Video) Below:

Formed in 2021, DethFx exploded onto the scene with a sound that hits like a dump truck barreling off a cliff. Powered by founding members Brett Kaffenberger (bass), Rob Tetro (drums), Rod Mariani (lead guitar), and Raul Salas (vocals/guitar), the band fuses the spirit of Slayer, Pantera, and Iron Maiden with a modern, razor-sharp edge. The result: tight harmonies, thrashing grooves, and technical prowess that stomp the line between chaos and control.

“Recycled Souls” doesn’t just mark the beginning of a new era for DethFx—it’s a battle cry. Heavy, raw, and unapologetically loud, the track is a taste of the full-throttle madness to come on their debut album.

And the band isn’t slowing down. This October, DethFx will join forces with metal legends Kings of Thrash and Gravel for a run of shows across Florida—a tour that promises carnage, volume, and a front-row seat to one of the most exciting new bands in metal.

DETHFX also proudly announces new management under Pamela Parks of Headity.com, who brings decades of artist development experience and joins a roster of seasoned artists including David Ellefson (Kings of Thrash, DIETH, Ellefson-Soto), Cultura Tres, Andry, Dead By Wednesday, Kill Devil Hill, and now serves as the band’s booking agent at Continental Touring. With new leadership and a ferocious vision, DethFx is poised to take the metal world by storm.

Prospect Hill Unleashes Hard-Hitting New Single “Victim”

June 10, 2025

After roaring back onto the scene with last year’s Catalyst EP,
Boston hard rock band Prospect Hill unleashed their new single “Victim” today
via Oktapus Rights Management / Red 13 Records . This heavy, hard-hitting track channels a nu-metal influence and takes aim at toxic blame culture with unflinching lyrics. “Victim” was produced by Shaun Lichtenstein, Derek Rousseau, and Mark Roberge; co-written by Rousseau, Roberge, Lichtenstein, Zach Gamache, and frontman Edgar Troncoso; and mixed by Lichtenstein.

Stream the single here:

https://go.fanflowy.com/victim-EP

Heavy Sound, Powerful Message in “Victim”

Blending downtuned guitars, aggressive grooves, and a fresh nu-metal edge, “Victim” stands out as one of Prospect Hill’s most intense and personal songs to date. The track’s confrontational theme targets the toxic blame culture of those who dodge accountability. “‘Victim’ is a call to action for anyone who makes excuses for their problems instead of taking meaningful steps to fix them,” says drummer and co-founder Mark Roberge, voicing the song’s core message. “Too many people are out there playing the victim, and it’s not a good look. The real solution is taking ownership of your struggles and making the necessary changes to rise above
them.” The band’s passion behind these lyrics is palpable, delivering both a sonic punch and a rallying cry for personal responsibility.

Back from Hiatus with New Lineup and Momentum

“Victim” arrives as the latest milestone in Prospect Hill’s triumphant return to the rock scene. After nearly a decade-long hiatus, the band made a powerful comeback in late 2024 with the Catalyst EP—a three-song release that introduced fans to Edgar Troncoso as the band’s new lead vocalist. Troncoso, formerly the group’s bassist, stepped up to the mic and brought a commanding new voice to Prospect Hill’s sound. Longtime guitarists Derek Rousseau and Johnny Roberge, along with drummer Mark Roberge, remain at the core of the lineup. The band celebrated their return with a sold-out EP release show in New England, proving that their fanbase’s enthusiasm is as fierce as ever. Building on their legacy, Prospect Hill boasts an impressive track record from their earlier years. The Boston-based quintet has shared the stage with rock heavyweights like Disturbed, Slipknot, and Breaking Benjamin, earning their stripes on national tours. They also scored a
Billboard-charting single with “Come Alive,” a breakout track that climbed into the Top 50 of the Active Rock charts and became a fan favorite. With the release of “Victim,” Prospect Hill continues a series of new singles leading up to a full-length album due later in 2025 – a clear sign that this comeback is just getting started.

Aftermath Releases There is Something Wrong - Redacted, A Stripped-Down Version of their 2019 Album

June 7, 2025

Chicago metal legends Aftermath have unveiled a new version of their critically praised 2019 concept album with the release of There is Something Wrong – Redacted. This leaner, more direct version of the record features eight songs, omitting the intros, interludes, and outros.

Released 25 years after their groundbreaking debut Eyes of Tomorrow, There is Something Wrong marked Aftermath’s return with a bold and disturbing message—one that challenged listeners to confront uncomfortable truths. The album’s dark themes and intense lyrical content proved polarizing at the time of its release.

𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝑺𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑾𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 is a dark concept album meant to disturb the listener.

"Back in 2019, the lyrics and concept were too much for some listeners, but for some that feeling has changed since Covid. Regardless, we always intended on releasing a version with only the songs," says the band.

The Redacted edition strips the album down to its core—eight explosive tracks delivered without preamble. It offers a new way to experience the raw energy and pointed social commentary that define There is Something Wrong.

There is Something Wrong – Redacted is available now exclusively on all streaming services here: https://ffm.to/aftermath-tisw-redacted

Currently, the band is in the studio recording their fourth studio album. Aftermath promises to deliver 11 tracks of pure, uncompromising metal.

The band states, "We are excited to be back in the studio. We can’t wait for everyone to hear this album. It’s heavy, it’s catchy, and in typical Aftermath fashion it sounds totally different from our previous albums."

The new album is being recorded at Electrowerks Recording, with engineering and mixing by Chuck Macak. Additional details, including the album title, tracklist, and release date, will be announced in the coming months.

Chicago based Aftermath, fronted by Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis, formed in October 1985 when Charlie and his schoolmate Steve Sacco (Guitar) got together. This early incarnation with Adam (Bass) and Ray Schmidt (Drums) released their first demo in 1986 featuring “Sentenced to Death”, “Revenge”, “Shotgun” and “The Aftermath”.

In 1987, they unleashed their second demo entitled Killing the Future featuring the tracks “When Will You Die”, “Going No Place”, “Chaos”, “Meltdown” and “War for Freedom”. The band pursued a mind-blowing speed and technical brand of thrash that soon set them apart from the pack and in the process made them a pioneering crossover thrash band.

The tracks "War for Freedom" & "When Will You Die" were both featured on the British Metal Forces magazine_compilation LP Demolition: Scream Your Brains Out in 1988. Their appearance on the Metal Forces compilation further expanded the band's international appeal.

In 2020, Aftermath released a re-imagined version of the John Lennon classic, "Give Peace a Chance". The song was remixed and remastered for the new album and included on the record because of the message.

“John Lennon’s urgent call for peace in Give Peace a Chance is more important today than ever, and our call for peace with this cover is the perfect message to follow up our previous album. We released a dark concept album with a bleak message and felt it was important to follow that up with something positive. The visuals in the video are as important as the lyrics in a way. We live in a visual world today and this video needed to get out the message of HOPE. Having a young girl be the focus of the video was our way of getting that across. Seeing only positive acts when she puts on Lennon’s famous glasses was the perfect visual metaphor. Lennon’s message is transmitted not only through his lyrics but also through the perspective created by his unique lenses” says the band.

The video was directed by critically acclaimed video director Steven Nathan in New York City.

Aftermath unleashed their highly awaited masterpiece, No Time to Waste, through Zoid Entertainment/TLG/INgrooves on March 17, 2023. This release stands as the triumphant conclusion to a powerful trilogy, representing a notable departure from the somber tones of its predecessor.

In an exclusive statement, Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis shared, "We take immense pride in this album, a culmination of a trilogy that commenced with our debut. Crafted during a challenging era in contemporary history, 'No Time to Waste' emerges as an anthem of hope. In contrast to our previous dark conceptual endeavor, we've refined this record. The ten tracks within are both weighty and charged, delivering a potent metal experience coupled with a profound message - that collectively, we can overcome, but time is of the essence."

Kyriakos "Charlie" Tsiolis - Vocals

Swiss Goth / Horror / Shock Metal Band DARKFLOW Release New Album "Imminent End", OUT NOW!

June 1, 2025

Swiss Goth / Horror / Shock Metal band DARKFLOW have released their highly anticipated new album Imminent End, out now!

Produced, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Andy LaRocque (legendary guitarist of King Diamond) at Sonic Train Studio in Sweden, Imminent End is a concept album that takes listeners through a dark and chaotic vision of the world’s collapse. LaRocque not only helmed the production but also contributes a blistering guest solo on the epic track “The Last Symphony.” Brian Bendahan did the orchestration of all the songs.

The album Imminent End explores themes of divine judgment, human depravity, and cosmic destruction. DARKFLOW crafts a world where each track reveals a different path to ruin—tsunamis, wars, existential despair—culminating in a battle between heaven’s wrath and hell’s vengeance.

“This album is about the world’s end, each track a vision of how everything falls apart. I embody Sean Horror, returning from hell to destroy the Earth before God can. It’s a race for apocalypse. ‘Press The Button’ finds Sean forcing a powerful man to unleash nuclear chaos. And the final song, ‘Whistles From The Sky,’ is my laughter as I’ve outdone God—winning the destruction of mankind and ushering in the end of all civilization.”

With Imminent End, DARKFLOW cement their place as masters of sonic horror, blending goth, shock metal, and theatrical narrative into a terrifying and unforgettable experience.

Rock Band Swim the Current Release New Single "Storylines" via TLG|ZOID

May 31, 2025

The dynamic rock band Swim the Current is excited to announce the release of their latest single, "Storylines", via TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. This incredible new track was co-produced by George Pond and David Caplinger.

STREAM "Storylines"

https://ffm.to/stc-storylines

The band's vocalist, Marcos Leal states, "The song defines everything Swim The Current is and the message we carry, a little bit of Texas country mixed with our heavy metal roots, and a FUCK YOU attitude that won’t lay down for anyone, get on board and enjoy the ride! It’s the echo in the tale you tried to bury , rising soft but sharp through the silence. A thorn in the story you spun in gold , blooming louder each time lied .”

Bringing together an all-star lineup of rock talents, including vocalist Marcos Leal(formerly of Ill Niño), bassist George Pond (Disciples of Verity), guitarist Greg Antine, drummer Chris Moore (George Lynch, Ultraphonix, Rock of Ages), and lead guitarist Joe Gareri, takes the band's sound to new heights.

WATCH the Official Lyric Video Directed by Tom Flynn for "Storylines" Below:

Having played in numerous bands throughout the years, Guitarist Greg Antine came to a point in his career where he wanted to branch out and write songs that had more depth and were inspired by his personal life experiences. Having worked with Bassist George Pond for several years in previous projects including, Disciples Of Verity, Greg expressed his concept for Swim The Current to George in hopes of collaborating with him on this new music venture. The two began to flesh out ideas in George’s home studio and realized quickly that they were on to something special, but still needed something more to see their ideas through to complete their concepts. Greg was introduced to Joe Gareri, Guitar/Keyboards, by George during the Disciples Of Verity debut album recording sessions which Joe is also featured on as a guest artist. The three of them immediately hit it off and worked extremely well together. Greg and George realized that Joe’s cinematic writing style would be a perfect match for their concepts and Joe was then brought in as a full time member. After two songs were completed and demo’d in George’s studio utilizing programmed drums, it was suggested by their friend Allyson Song River Jaynes, that they reach out to her friend, drummer Chris Moore of Ultraphonix, Rock Of Ages, to see if he would be interested in working with the project. Upon hearing the strength of songwriting and musicianship of the band, Chris was all in and signed on as the fourth full time member of STC and now the band, from an instrument’s perspective, was complete.

The final missing piece for STC was a lead vocalist who could capture the sound they envisioned for their music. After working in the studio with a few different vocalists, George ultimately reached out to his friend Marcos Leal, of legendary international touring band Ill Nino. Marcos loved the music of STC as well as having the freedom and creativity of writing lyrics for the project. After recording their first song together with Marcos, "We Are Not The Same", everyone new that this lineup was something special and Swim The Current was now complete! The release of "We Are Not The Same" took off instantly, and amassed thousands of streams, YouTube views and followers through a total organic DIY social media campaign.

Swim The Current’s sound is influenced and reminiscent of many of their favorite artists including, Deftones, Faith No More, Sevendust, POD, and Stabbing Westward. They continue to write new music and look forward to sharing their future releases with the world!

CULTURA TRES Feat. SEPULTURA's PAULO XISTO PINTO JR. and JUANES Unite on “Cien”

May 29, 2025

“CIEN” releases worldwide on May 29, 2025, via ONErpm. For fans of fearless metal, Latin fusion, and socially conscious art—this is a must-listen.

Stream "CIEN": https://music.culturatres.com/cien

CULTURA TRES, the South American metal powerhouse led by Sepultura’s Paulo XistoPinto Jr., joins forces with Latin music icon JUANES on a daring new collaboration: “Cien,” set for release May 29, 2025, through ONErpm.

A seismic blend of thrash, grunge, and Colombian folklore, “Cien” evokes the spirit of ‘90s metal while honoring the rich musical traditions of Latin America. The track is as sonically heavy as it is emotionally evocative—rooted in themes of environmental loss, particularly the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest.

Not a surprising topic, considering these Colombian, Brazilian and Venezuelan musicians, are all from countries with the rainforest in their backyard.

“It’s a pleasure to share a song with Juanes, not only a legend of Latin music, but also a true heavy metal fan,” says Paulo Xisto.

“Man! It’s been a pleasure to make this song with you. Since my teenage years, metal has been a part of my essence, and having the opportunity to record the solo and sing has been amazing,” says JUANES.

A Cross-Cultural Creative Journey

The collaboration unfolded over six months, beginning with CULTURA TRES sendingJUANES a batch of punk-infused riffs. When JUANES returned with haunting, psychedelic guitar additions, the song’s energy shifted entirely—prompting a complete rewrite of the original material. This creative back-and-forth resulted in a track that balances dark melodies with abrasive power.

“JUANES is an incredible metal guitarist—when we first heard his solo on ‘Cien,’ it blew us away,” says frontman Alejandro Montoya.

Originally drafted in English, the lyrics only truly resonated when the band followed Paulo’s suggestion to switch to Spanish. The change added a deeper sense of authenticity and emotional weight. The contrasting vocal styles—JUANES’ melancholic chants and Alejandro’s screaming vocals—reflect the song’s central tensions: beauty versus destruction, tradition versus progress.

“Blending metal and Latin music in one of our native languages (Spanish), helps showcase the power and potential of South American metal!” says Paulo.

Metal Meets Legacy: How It All Came Together

What may surprise casual fans is that JUANES—known worldwide for his Latin pop-rock hits—started his career in a metal band (Ekhymosis, 1988). His admiration for Sepultura and deep respect for Paulo’s legacy created a natural bridge for this collaboration. After one of JUANES’ shows in Amsterdam, Paulo and Alejandro were invited backstage, where they had a chance to check out JUANES’ newly released signature Fender guitar. Mutual admiration, shared roots, and even common crew members eventually led to exchanging riffs and ideas and “Cien” was born.

“Once a metalhead, always a metalhead,” says Paulo.

About CULTURA TRES

With members from Colombia, Brazil, and Venezuela, CULTURA TRES is a genre-defying metal act known for blending sludge, thrash, and traditional South American sounds. Their 2023 album Camino de Brujos (Universal Music) solidified their reputation across Europe, Japan, and Latin America as a truly innovative force in heavy music.

About JUANES

A global ambassador for Latin music, JUANES has earned 25 Latin Grammys, 4 Grammy Awards, and international acclaim for his signature fusion of rock, pop, and Latin folk. Beyond his music, he is a dedicated activist through his Fundación Mi Sangre, championing peace and social justice in Colombia and beyond.

May 24, 2025

Prepare for the ritual. Dark groove band Witches Ride are set to unleash their long-awaited new album Collector on June 19th, 2025. Alongside the album announcement, the band has dropped a gripping new music video for the single, “Among the Crowd.”

Described by the band as “a bit of a dark rock opera about a preacher who loses his following and sells his soul to the devil in hopes of getting it back,” Collector plunges listeners into a shadowy world of damnation and redemption.

Welcome to Witches Ride.

Pre-Order Collector

https://loadedbomb.com/collector-pre-order

WATCH the Official Music Video for "Among the Crowd" Below:

Witches Ride is a dark groove machine—part Southern-fried chaos, part industrial ritual. Fusing the bone-crushing swagger of Clutch with the sinister theatrics of Marilyn Manson, this band rides the line between dirty rock ‘n’ roll and occult-fueled spectacle. Think smoke, sweat, and distortion—wrapped in velvet and barbed wire.

Driven by thunderous riffs, hypnotic rhythms, and snarling vocals, Witches Ridebrings a unique alchemy to the stage. With the keys casting eerie atmospheres and haunted textures, the sound is as cinematic as it is feral—blues-born, hell-bound, and soaked in gasoline.

Every show is a ceremony. Every song is a spell. And once you’re under, there’s no turning back.
