Outlier Sign to Oxide Records Release New Single + Video "Digital Hell"

Outlier have officially signed with Oxide Records and are wasting no time making their arrival known with the release of their new single and music video, "Digital Hell." The track serves as both a warning and a wake-up call, tackling society's growing dependence on technology and the invisible grip it has on modern life.

 

"Digital Hell" asks a question few are willing to confront: Are we still controlling technology, or has it quietly begun controlling us?

 

"We built technology to serve humanity. Somewhere along the way, we began serving it. We traded privacy for convenience, presence for distraction, and truth for algorithms. The most dangerous prison isn’t one with walls, it’s the one we willingly carry in our pockets every day. The next false gods won’t ask to be worshipped, they’ll seek your attention. They’ll promise connection while feeding isolation, promise knowledge while drowning out wisdom, and promise freedom while quietly collecting every piece of who you are. 'Digital Hell' is the soundtrack to a world that may not realize what it’s losing until it’s already gone," says Joey Arena.

 

He adds, "Not every apocalypse arrives with fire. Some arrive one notification at a time. We surrender our privacy without resistance, mistake constant connection for genuine community, and allow the things we’ve created to define the people we’re becoming." 

The release comes on the heels of vocalist Joey Arena's guest appearance on Motionless In White's latest single, "Fight Like Hell," further introducing his voice to an even wider audience.

 

Reflecting on the collaboration, Arena shared:

"Thank you so much to Motionless In White for having me be a part of something so special and throw down on 'Fight Like Hell.' I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this banger and the creative process. Absolutely loving the fan response and support. Keep running it up!"

 

With a new label home at Oxide Records and their most ambitious music to date, Outlier are positioning themselves as one of heavy music's most thought-provoking new voices, unafraid to challenge both listeners and the world around them.

 

"We are extremely excited to welcome Outlier to the Oxide Music roster. This is a band with deep roots in the rock & metal scene who align perfectly with our mission of building the next generation of heavy hitters," says Andrew Wetzel, Founder, Oxide Records.

 

"Digital Hell" is available now on all major streaming platforms.

Blacklist Union Release New Single + Video "Madame Butterfly" ​

Los Angeles hard rock band Blacklist Union released their new single, "Madame Butterfly," available now on all streaming platforms. Accompanied by a seductive new music video featuring rock icon Lorraine Lewis of Femme Fatale, the release captures the band's signature blend of swagger, grit, and modern rock energy.

 

The official video for "Madame Butterfly" was filmed, edited, and directed by Michael Sarna of Inmotion Entertainment in Hollywood, California, delivering a cinematic visual experience that perfectly complements the song's dark allure and raw intensity. Lorraine Lewis brings her unmistakable charisma and signature sensuality to the video, making for a memorable collaboration between two enduring forces in rock music.

 

Following the release, Blacklist Union will head overseas this September for a European tour alongside legendary glam rockers Faster Pussycat and Lorraine Lewis, bringing their high-energy live show to audiences across the continent.

 

Tony West says, “Everything that is happening right now is like walking through the keyhole to my biggest dreams. I’m here to bring the wow factor and the fire to the firefight… so let’s rock this shit.”

 

Lorraine Lewis adds, “Working with Tony has been icing on the cake for me. Having newly signed with Cleopatra Records, FEMME FATALE is slated to release our full album in August, produced by Steve Brown. The timing couldn’t be more perfect for the FASTER PUSSYCAT / BLACKLIST UNION tour.”

 

With Femme Fatale’s upcoming Cleopatra Records release produced by Steve Brown — known for his work with Trixter and Ace Frehley — and Blacklist Union gearing up for a massive European run, all signs point to a breakout moment for both camps.

 

"Madame Butterfly" is available now on all digital streaming platforms. Watch the official music video now and stay tuned for additional tour announcements and more new music from Blacklist Union.

WATCH "Madame Butterfly" Below:

Tony West formed Blacklist Union because he wanted to play music that he wanted to hear. They put out the first Blacklist Union record, After the Mourning, in 2006. The band’s name comes from getting the best musicians in town with the worst reputations. With a shamanistic blend of Stone Temple Pilots, Guns N’ Roses, Warrior Soul, The Cult, and Mother Love Bone... Blacklist Union was born.

 

Blacklist Union have built a reputation on their explosive live shows and unapologetically bold sound. Their previous record, Letters from the Psych Ward, racked up over two million streams, setting the stage for the band’s new album. The band's latest release was Slay the Dragon that came out in September 2025.

 

Frontman Tony West, known for his larger-than-life presence, took time out to dive deep into several transformative ayahuasca journeys in the heart of the Amazon, preparing for this next era of music.

 

As West put it, “Ayahuasca isn’t a drug—it’s powerful spiritual medicine from another realm. It helped me heal in ways I never thought possible, releasing layers of trauma, heartache, and sorrow. I’m not perfect—not Gandhi or anything—but it changed everything. My entire view of myself, love, the world, people, and my children changed because of those experiences.”

 

West was raised in the Bronx on The Ramones, Bad Brains, and NYHC. Hearing the call of the wild west, he made his way to Los Angeles at 19 years old. West took a break from L.A. to try out Memphis in 1998. While he was there, he attended the first Saliva gig with Paul Crosby on drums. This marked the beginning of a lifelong friendship between Crosby and West, leading to management, song collaborations, and guest video appearances. West collaborated with guitarist Todd Youth (Murphy’s Law /Danzig) and Malfunkshun, which was kept active by Andy Wood’s brother Kevin Wood. Andy Wood is West’s muse, and he was honored to sing in his hero’s band.

Breaking In A Sequence Release New Single "Don't Run" via TLG|ZOID ​ 

Melodic alternative metal band Breaking In A Sequence released their new single “Don't Run” via TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group. The track serves as the second single from the band’s completed full-length album INANIMATE, due out later this year.

 

"'Don’t Run' was the first song written with new drummer BC Vaught. We didn’t write anything for the first year and a half after to give us time to meld together. The song carries the NuMetal torch from the early 2000’s with a perfect blend of melody, groove and aggression. It has a rawness that is absent in today’s music," shares the band.

 

The single was produced by Chris Collier alongside the band and mixed and mastered by Collier as well. The release marks the beginning of a new chapter for BIAS as they build momentum toward the full album launch.

FiRSUN Sign to SBG Records, Release Album 'Fortitude' Featuring “Oh Preacher” ​  

From the pine-lined edges of East Texas to the salt-stained air of Palm Coast, Florida, FiRSUN is the sound of starting over.

 

FiRSUN has officially signed with SBG Records and celebrates the partnership with the release of its album, Fortitude, featuring “Oh Preacher” and its accompanying official music video.

 

Led by vocalist, songwriter, and producer Matt Jackson, FiRSUN represents a new chapter built from hard-earned experience. Jackson has shared stages with Nothing More, Set It Off, From Ashes to New, Filter, Dead Poet Society, Oxymorrons, Silly Goose, and many more. Joining him is guitarist Aaron Grove.

 

“This new chapter isn’t a return—it’s a resurrection,” says FiRSUN.

 

Influenced by the shadows and shimmer of Deftones, the depth of Failure, the soul of DC Talk, and the angst of early 2000s alt hard rock, this project is unfiltered truth. No more shrinking to fit. No more swallowing songs that should have been sung. 

 

At the heart of the album is “Oh Preacher,” a song that confronts manipulation, hypocrisy, and the search for validation through the perspective of a narcissist who insists they have done nothing wrong while their actions tell a very different story. Framed through the language and imagery of religion, the song explores the emotional impact of experiencing that kind of behavior firsthand.

 

“The lyrical aspect of this song is a first-person point of view from a narcissist's standpoint seeking validation for their actions. They say they're not doing anything wrong, but their actions speak otherwise, while being dressed up in a way that is commonly seen through religion. Dealing with it firsthand and seeing how it has affected me, this song was the best way I could let out how I feel. I hope it connects with anybody that has dealt or is dealing with a similar situation," says Matt Jackson.

DROWNING POOL & SALIVA Announce Co-Headlining U.S. Tour Celebrating 25 Years of Sinner and Every Six Seconds

Twenty-five years after releasing two of the most recognizable albums in modern hard rock, Drowning Pool and Saliva are joining forces for a special co-headlining U.S. tour celebrating the legacies of Sinner and Every Six Seconds.

 

Launching October 8 and running through October 25, the tour brings together two bands whose breakout records became the soundtrack of the early 2000s. Rather than looking back, both acts are bringing the energy that made them festival favorites while continuing to evolve with new music, new lineups, and decades of road-tested performances.

 

Released in 2001, Drowning Pool's debut album Sinner became one of the defining heavy records of its era, propelled by timeless anthems including "Bodies," "Tear Away," and "Sinner." The album helped launch the band onto the global stage and remains a cornerstone of modern hard rock.

 

That same year, Saliva exploded onto radio with Every Six Seconds, delivering unforgettable hits including "Click Click Boom," "Your Disease,"and "Always." The album established the band as one of the era's biggest rock acts and continues to resonate with fans more than two decades later.

 

"We are beyond grateful and thankful to still be here rockin out with everyone after 25 Years of Letting the Bodies Hit the Floor!  Looking forward to sharing the stage on tour again with our friends in Saliva performing the 25th Anniversary of two amazing albums! A very sincere thank you to all of the amazing friends and family who have supported us throughout this Rock & Roll Roller coaster ride that we’ve all had together! Come share this once in a lifetime experience of celebrating 25 years of Sinner with us!" says CJ Pierce.

Drown In Sulphur Release their New Single + Video "Groan From The IXth Circle"

Deathcore force Drown In Sulphur from Italy have released their second single and music video "Groan From The IXth Circle" via Noble Demon! The song is taken off their upcoming EP Strix, due out on September 11th.

 

Pre-save right here: https://music.nobledemon.com/strix

 

DROWN IN SULPHUR are the latest addition to the German Metal Record Label and proudly present new music with a fresh band line-up. After they dropped a bomb with the first output "New Moon Rising On Florence" in June, the brand new single cements even clearer where the band is heading towards with their revamped sound. Be prepared since the upcoming digital EP Strix is blending the nostalgic fury of MySpace-era deathcore with grim black metal influences, marking a deliberate shift toward a less symphonic, more hardcore sound.

 

Watch the video for "Groan From The IXth Circle" and enjoy the single below:

With Strix, Drown In Sulphur delivers a desperate and focused body of work born out of a renewed hunger for reinvention. The upcoming EP leaves behind traditional symphonic tropes to deliver a sound driven by raw energy and complex, occult storytelling—blurring the lines between theological dread and sonic violence.

 

Formed in Milan, Italy in 2014, Drown In Sulphur quickly shook the underground metal scene, securing millions of streams and views with their explosive early singles "An Epilogue to the Arrogant" and "Blackwind." Through a relentless creative fire and an evolving lineup, the project dropped a string of powerful full-lengths, including Sulphur Cvlt (2021), Dark Secrets Of The Soul (2024), and the rebellious Vengeance (2025).

 

Now, reinforced by their current definitive lineup, the band enters their most authentic era yet.

 

Drown In Sulphur is:

Manuel Riboldi – Vocals

Erik Bellan – Rhythm Guitar

Ciprian Grigore – Lead & Rhythm Guitar

Domenico Francesco Tamilia – Drums & Backing Vocals

 

Strix will be available on Sept. 11 on all major streaming platforms. You can pre-save and pre-order the EP at this location: https://music.nobledemon.com/strix

SoCal Metal Band Fraxures Return With Steaming New Single “Trauma Bond" via Cleopatra Records

Los Angeles, California: SoCal metal band Fraxures unleashes the third single from its highly anticipated new album, Hexes. Since forming during the pandemic, the powerhouse five-piece has forged an unmistakable sound, blending crushing heaviness with emotional depth. Hexes is a raw and unapologetic exploration of the darkest aspects of the human condition, told through a deeply personal perspective that follows a journey through the shadows in search of the light.

 

“'Trauma Bond' is based upon being trauma bonded to someone. No matter how toxic the relationship is, the two cannot seem to break away from each other, yet they find no peace in each other’s presence. So the song outlines the push-pull of that relationship, being helplessly bonded through the chaos the two have built, and finally being able to break that bond and be free of the constant space of trauma that festers in the unity of the two people," says frontman Travis Neal.

 

 STREAM "Trauma Bond" HERE

HEXES CD/Vinyl is Available HERE

HEXES Digital is Available HERE

 

WATCH "Trauma Bond" Official Music Video Below:

Formed in 2020 in southern California, Fraxures line up as: Travis Neal (vocals), Fred Aching (drums), Vinny Marvaso (bass), Nolan Davis (guitar, vocals) and Esty Sanchez (guitar) - seasoned musicians from renowned acts such as William Shatner Band, Deadgroove, Kings Of Thrash, Divine Heresy, Powerflo, BillyBio, The Bloodline, and A Hero Within.  The members’ shared passion for creating earth-shattering music saw FRΛXURES emerge as a force to be reckoned with, blending the raw energy of metal with a modern edge. 

 

Their sound reflects their rich history, while carving a distinct path in the heavy music scene, reflected by the success of live performances alongside some of the biggest names in metal and alternative rock - Fear Factory, Snot, Taproot, Orbit Culture, Of Mice & Men and Unearth among them.

 

Fraxure’s first release, the critically acclaimed EP Firewater Sessions, was produced by legend Billy Graziadei of Biohazard. Showcasing the band’s ability to channel crushing riffs, soaring melodies, and thought-provoking lyrics into a cohesive sonic experience, it led to them joining the Cleopatra Records family last year, since then they have released two singles, “Blackheart Serenade" and "It’s No Good," a hit on into Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart.

 

Now Hexes is on the horizon, and for the band’s fans, its September 4th release date cannot arrive quickly enough, all the more so after the band announced “Grab the vinyl or deluxe CD to explore the deeper meaning of each track.”

Gunshine's New Album 'Grand Rising' Out Now! Release Single "Capt'n Save a Hoe"

Florida rock band Gunshine have released their new album, Grand Rising,  along with the focus track "Capt'n Save A Hoe" via vnclm_ / Create Music Group. With Grand Rising, Gunshine raise the bar yet again in an exciting evolution of the band. The album takes listeners on a dynamic journey filled with genre-bending twists and turns, shifting moods, and unexpected vibes—all while staying true to the core elements that set Gunshine apart. Featuring 13 tracks, each single-worthy in its own right, Grand Rising is poised to become a modern-day rock classic.

 

"I'm very proud of this record, it's definitely fresh and original. As we continue to put out music, I think our fans and other listeners will see that we are not boxed into one sound or one 'thing'. We love being creative and making true art, just writing whatever comes out. I'm super stoked for everyone to hear this record!" says Austin Ingerman. 

 

He continues, "'Capt'n Save a Hoe' blends rock, hip hop, and funk elements with a groove that sets the tone throughout the track. Lyrically it's a reminder to not get dragged down by a relationship that's no longer serving you. I had fun with the production on this one and added a lot of hip hop inspired layers. The main groove was actually inspired by Michael McDonald's 'I Keep Forgettin''. I've always liked songs that blend multiple genres and flavors, and we definitely did that on this song."

 

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

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

Lyric Noel Releases Single + Video "Acid Bloom" feat. Mixi of Stitched Up Heart 

The Two Artists Transform their Real Life Creative Connection into a Dark Exploration of Betrayal, Survival, and Rebirth

 

What began as a connection between two artists quickly blossomed into a close friendship and an inevitable creative partnership. Now, Lyric Noel and Mixi Demner of Stitched Up Heart bring that bond to life through “Acid Bloom,” a powerful new single and cinematic music video released today via Judge & Jury Records.

Lyric and Mixi first connected through their shared passion for music and storytelling. Plans to meet in person at a Stitched Up Heart show soon developed into a genuine friendship, with the two artists immediately recognizing a kindred creative spirit in one another. As their bond grew, Mixi introduced Lyric to Judge & Jury Records, helping open the door to an exciting new chapter in Lyric’s career.

A collaboration between the two soon felt inevitable. With its themes of transformation, emotional entanglement, and the complicated line between love and destruction, “Acid Bloom” became the perfect project through which to capture their chemistry. In many ways, their friendship bloomed alongside the song itself.

WATCH "Acid Bloom" feat. Mixi Demner of Stitched Up Heart Below:

“Flying out to Texas to work with Lyric Noel on ‘Acid Bloom’ was such a dream,” says Demner. “The music video was insane, and the art department killed it with the whole science lab set. Everything about it was perfect. The whole team was amazing, but building a real friendship with Lyric made it extra special. I’m so honored I got to be part of such an incredible experience.”

Beneath that real life friendship lies a much darker fictional story. “Acid Bloom” explores what happens when pain becomes the force that changes you and survival requires becoming something entirely new. Told through the metaphor of a scientific experiment gone wrong, the song follows something beautiful emerging from something corrosive and destructive. The “acid” represents the experiences, people, and circumstances that slowly erode a person’s identity, while the “bloom” symbolizes the stronger, stranger, and uncontrollable version of oneself born from surviving them.

Lyrically, “Acid Bloom” is about reclaiming power after manipulation and betrayal. Rather than allowing those experiences to define the survivor, they become the catalyst for transformation. Sonically, that evolution unfolds through chaotic, cinematic production that builds from mounting tension into an explosive release, mirroring the moment an experiment can no longer be contained.


“‘Acid Bloom’ is about what happens when the thing that promises to heal you is the very thing that’s poisoning you,” explains Lyric. “It’s the moment survival turns into transformation, not because you wanted it to, but because you had no other choice. Sometimes growth isn’t beautiful. Sometimes it burns.”

The accompanying music video, directed by rising visionary Michael Levine, with Maxton Donnell serving as creative lead and Levine assisting in the creative development before taking the director's chair, expands the song's narrative into a disturbing cinematic world. Following a laboratory accident, scientist Lyric Noel transforms into Acid Bloom, an uncontrollable organism that binds her to a captured test subject portrayed by Demner. What begins as a tense captor and captive dynamic gradually develops into a disturbing symbiotic relationship. As both characters become physically and emotionally consumed by the organism’s invasive growth, the video reveals a powerful metaphor for toxic codependency and the ways love, control, healing, and destruction can emerge from the same connection.

With “Acid Bloom,” Lyric continues to establish herself as one of modern rock’s most compelling emerging voices, combining emotionally vulnerable songwriting, explosive production, and ambitious cinematic storytelling. Demner’s unmistakable voice and commanding presence deepen the release’s emotional intensity, resulting in a collaboration that feels both deeply personal and completely unrestrained.

 

STREAM "Acid Bloom"

https://ffm.to/acidbloom

Lyric Noel is built around personifying Lyric Hollar’s lived experience with different mental illnesses and emotional struggles. This project exists to say the things people are usually expected to carry quietly, the intrusive thoughts, the instability, the exhaustion of trying to appear okay. Lyric writes from inside that reality, not from metaphor or distance, turning pain into something raw, visible, and honest. The work does not soften or romanticize struggle, but it does make it beautiful in its truth, giving listeners language and reflection for experiences they already know but rarely hear spoken out loud.

 

As a band, Lyric Noel amplifies that voice with intention. Alongside guitarist, primary composer, and producer Russell Hollar, guitarist Robby Gray, and drummer Jerrin Castillo, the project blends heavy, atmospheric, and alternative elements into music and visuals that match the weight of Lyric’s message. That honesty has connected with more than 900,000 people across social platforms and is now entering its next chapter through a new partnership with Judge and Jury Records. Lyric Noel exists because it is not built on image or trend, but on lived truth, emotional visibility, and the courage to anthropomorphize these intense emotions.

WATCH Marylane - "SEVEN" Official Music Video Below: 

Once upon a time, nestled in a corner of the bustling city, there existed a magnificent amusement park named Marylane, which was operated by Marymaker the Clown. He was perceived by the public as both terrifying and captivating, and there were rumors that he possessed the ability to attract both light and darkness simultaneously, as if he were a master of duality. During the park's prime, one could hear the excited cheers of visitors from afar and the sound of carousels roaring under the summer sun. However, as the years went by, fewer and fewer people found the time to visit the amusement park, leaving Marymaker with a deep sense of abandonment.

 

The very thing that he had once been so passionate about now seemed to wither away and rely solely on artificial respiration. Filled with desperation, Marymaker embarked on a journey to find himself, only to encounter chaos and despair at every turn. One evening, while lost in his own thoughts, Marymaker overheard a group of people gathering on the Tivoli stage to compose music. There was one particular melody that caught his attention, as it exuded both sadness and hope. Intrigued, he felt compelled to venture out and discover the source of this captivating music. Could it be that the songs were about him?

 

Marylane is a swedish rockband formed in 2023 and draws inspiration from vintage sounds infusing them with a modern intimate touch. With their music they delve into the depths of the human experience exploring the paradoxial and existential questions that haunt our minds. Their sound is a harmonious blend of captivating melodies, groovy rythms, ephic choruses and introspective lyrics.

Bastion Rose Announces Progressive Hard Rock Anthem "Someday"

Rock’s darker angels fly again. Bastion Rose release a new single called "Someday." It is loud. It is heavy. It carries the weight of a two-million-stream catalog and the daily expectations of hundreds of thousands of monthly listeners. But those are just numbers.

 

To understand the sheer, triumphant energy of this track, you have to understand the silence that came before it.

 

“Only a few years ago, the silence was literal. Cancer,” says Bastion Rose singer and guitarist, Austin Frink. “I had recently watched my parents pass on, and I fought my own physical war not to join them. I did not sing. After surgery and treatment, I couldn't. But hope has a way of coercing those in despair back to motion. To build. To survive. The whisper became a croak. The croak became a quiet, hoarse note. That note became a roar. Bastion Rose is the roar."

 

Musically, the track is a towering achievement of progressive rock. Building on the world-class sonic blueprint established with three-time Grammy-winning producer David Bottrill (Tool, Godsmack, Mastodon, Muse) on the band's earlier records, "Someday"pairs relentless, aggressive instrumentation with an undeniable, aspirational hook.

 

Where previous releases explored the grit and dirt of sheer survival, "Someday" is the breakthrough.

 

"It is the moment you finally stand up," Frink explains. "You realize that you alone have the power to rebuild your reality. You are the creator of your world."

 

That reality is scaling rapidly. Supported by recent acclaim from SPIN, Metal Hammer, and Classic Rock Magazine, Bastion Rose is translating massive digital leverage into a formidable real-world footprint, with their eyes already beyond their upcoming album, ‘Blue Rising,’ to their following record and international campaign of live shows.

 

“There is no light without the weight of the dark. Scars persist, but in fact compose the art of ourselves. We are powerful, fragile things, expanding and dissolving. How beautiful it is to build and to grow and to reach for the sky as long as we live and breathe.” - Austin Frink, Bastion Rose

 

"Someday" is available on all major streaming platforms.

Omen//Skye Release New Single + Video "Further" via Arson Theory

Maryland-based metalcore outfit Omen//Skye have released their powerful new single and music video, “Further” available now via Arson Theory.

 

Blending cinematic atmosphere, crushing riffs, and emotionally charged melodic hooks, Omen//Skye continue to establish themselves as one of the Mid-Atlantic's most promising heavy acts. Built on the foundation of explosive live performances, the band seamlessly merges the intensity of classic metalcore with the innovation of the genre's modern wave, forging a sound that is both familiar and unmistakably their own.

 

Their latest release, "Further," dives deep into conceptual storytelling, delivering a chilling narrative wrapped in towering guitars, relentless rhythms, and dynamic vocal performances.

 

"'Further' serves as an esoteric warning to anybody searching for knowledge of things they couldn't possibly comprehend as a human. It's a conceptual track that speaks from the perspective of an ancient demonic presence that offers an occultist the knowledge he seeks regarding the secrets of the universe, with a cryptic warning that runs parallel to the being's beckoning," shares Josh Grzywacz (Guitar/Vocals), writer of "Further".

 

The single is accompanied by an equally immersive live performance music video that captures the song's uncompromising heaviness.

 

The band sums up the single with one simple invitation:

"Go Further with me..."

OMEN/Skye:

Nick Troisi - Lead Vocals

Joshua Grzywacz - Vocals / Rhythm Guitar

Dillon Thatcher - Drums

Dominic Buie - Bass

Brian Baugus - Lead Guitar

 

UPCOMING TOUR DATES:

 

7/11 - Beef & Beer & Beatdowns Festival @ Peabody Heights Brewing in Baltimore, MD

9/13 - Supporting ENOX @ Metro Gallery in Baltimore, MD

Goroda Release New Single + Video “Do Something Wrong” feat. Bobby Amaru of Saliva

Hard rock band GORODA have unleashed their new single and music video, "Do Something Wrong," featuring Bobby Amaru of Saliva, available now via Judge & Jury Records.

 

After GORODA opened for Saliva at a sold-out show earlier this year, the bands connected. The mutual respect and appreciation they developed led them to join forces and create “Do Something Wrong.”

 

“Our song 'Do Something Wrong' showcases our creative potential and highlights the genres in which we particularly excel in. The track features a striking musical break, as well as a collaboration with a band that has inspired us for many years. In many ways, the song is a scream, not so much for help, but rather as a response to the tense situations unfolding in the modern world. Through this piece, we aim to show that there is always another way to act…that things can be done differently,” shares the band. 

 

Bobby Amaru adds, "When they sent me the song idea, the first thing that grabbed me was the message. From the lyrics alone, I knew they were writing for the world, not just for themselves. It carried a powerful message of unity and hope, and I felt connected to it right away. I also have a lot of respect for their work ethic and the passion they put into everything they do, so it was an easy yes for me."

Lyrically, "Do Something Wrong" challenges the notion that people should be forever defined by where they come from, the mistakes they've made, or the history they've inherited. Instead, the song emphasizes that what truly matters is where you stand today, what you stand for, and who you choose to stand beside. Through its message, GORODA encourages listeners to connect across differences, reject division, and embrace shared humanity. "Do Something Wrong" captures that spirit while introducing the band to an even broader audience through their collaboration with Bobby Amaru.

 

Musically, GORODA has carved out a sound all their own. Drawing from influences that span synth-wave, progressive jazz, classical music, and modern hard rock, the band blends technical musicianship with emotionally charged songwriting to create an unmistakable sonic identity. Their songs serve as vehicles for collective reflection, urging society to confront its mistakes and resist the corrupt officials and institutions of power. 

 

“Do Something Wrong” feat. Bobby Amaru of Saliva is available now on all major streaming platforms!

A Life in Metal, A Future for His Son: Shaun Glass

At Noble Demon, we have always believed that music is ultimately about people. While Shaun Glass's legacy as a guitarist, songwriter, and pioneer of Chicago metal will continue to inspire generations, the greatest legacy he leaves behind is the countless lives he touched with his generosity, kindness, and unwavering belief in others.

The tribute below was written by Troy Dixler on behalf of Shaun's family. We hope you'll take a moment to read it, remember the remarkable man behind the music, and, if you're able, help honor the legacy he cared about most: his son, Maddux.

 

On July 1, 2026, the world lost Shaun Glass, a legendary musician who spent over four decades shaping the Chicago metal scene through Terminal Death, Sindrome, Broken Hope, SOiL, Dirge Within, The Bloodline, and most recently Repentance. He shared stages with some of the biggest names in the genre and left behind music that fans still play on repeat.

But if you ask anyone who actually knew Shaun, the music was never the most impressive thing about him.

Shaun's wealth was never in a bank account, it was in every room he ever walked into. You could know him for five minutes and walk away feeling like you'd known him your whole life. He introduced bands, friends, and strangers to chances they never would have found on their own, not because it benefited him, but because that's just who he was, and he never once asked for anything back. Ask around the metal scene and you won't find one person who claims to be his best friend. You'll find fifty. That's not an exaggeration. That was just Shaun.

On May 31, 2026, Shaun suffered a stroke brought on by undiagnosed high blood pressure. He spent nearly a month in the hospital on life support, surrounded the entire time by people who truly loved him, before passing peacefully on hospice care. Shaun's insurance is pending, and anyone who has ever dealt with a hospital bill knows what even a few days in intensive care can cost. A month on life support has left behind an overwhelming amount of medical debt and final expenses.

 

A fundraiser has been set up for Shaun's family by Troy Dixler. 

https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-life-in-metal-a-future-for-his-son-shaun-glass

Every donation goes into the Maddux Glass Irrevocable Trust. Shaun's medical and final expenses are paid from it first, but the heart of this fund is Maddux, giving him the education, stability, and future his father always wanted for him. That future is protected in this trust, permanent, and something no one can ever take from him.

If Shaun ever made you feel like family, connected you to someone, or picked up the phone when you needed him, this is the moment to give back a fraction of what he gave so many of us for free.

Shaun Glass made thousands of people feel like they mattered. Now it's our turn to make sure his son knows he mattered too. 

Nonpoint Announces 11th Studio Album The Last Word Arriving September 18, 2026 Releases Music Video for “Is It”

Nonpoint have officially announced their highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Last Word, arriving September 18, 2026, through 361 Degrees Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has released the official music video for their powerful new single, "Is It," now available below.

 

Fans will be able to secure the album beginning July 2, 2026, when the official pre-save and pre-order campaign launches across all major digital platforms and participating retailers.

Already making an impact at Active Rock radio, "Is It" was the #1 Most Added track when it came out and has quickly climbed into the Top 50 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart.

Music Video Director of Photography and Editor: Drew Johnston.

Elias explains the concept behind the song "Is It."

 

“‘Is It’ is that internal conflict where you question getting too involved? Did I push too hard? Did I ask too much? It’s that feeling of wondering if doing what you thought was right actually meant hurting the people around you.”

 

The album itself represents far more than another release in the band's celebrated catalog.

 

"In a world that sometimes wants to put a timestamp on creativity, The Last Wordis our way of saying we're just getting started. We're pushing back against expectation and pushing forward into our own next chapter."

 

The album artwork carries an equally powerful message. Soriano describes the symbolic pencil featured on the cover as a reflection of both longevity and perseverance.

 

"This album cover tells a piece of our story. After years of making music, we feel more aligned than ever—musically, visually, and creatively. We’re writing some of the strongest material of our career, our live shows are as powerful as they’ve ever been, and the band feels focused and energized. The pencil on the cover represents what it’s like to be handed one last tool and expected to fit everything you have left to say into it. Not because the ideas are gone, but because longevity often comes with assumptions and limits. The Last Word isn’t about accepting an ending. It’s about challenging that narrative. If this is the pencil we’re being handed, we’re going to use it—and make sure the words written with it still matter."

 

Coinciding with the album announcement, Nonpoint has also revealed "The Even More Outta Control Tour," kicking off July 25, 2026. Renowned for their explosive live performances, the band will be performing brand-new material from The Last Word alongside the fan favorites that have become staples of their live set. The tour offers audiences an early look at what promises to be one of the band's most dynamic records to date.

 

For more than two decades, Nonpoint has remained one of hard rock's most resilient and respected acts, earning millions of streams, multiple charting singles, and a fiercely loyal global fanbase through relentless touring and uncompromising musicianship. The Last Word finds the band firing on all cylinders, proving they have no intention of slowing down.

Further underscoring the band's momentum, Nonpoint has also joined the roster of artists endorsed by Heavys, the world's first audio company engineered specifically for rock and heavy music fans. Designed for listeners who treat music as identity—not background noise—Heavys produces premium headphones, earbuds, and audio gear.

Gunshine Release New Single + Video "Shark Lounge"

Florida rock band Gunshine has unleashed their latest single and music video, "Shark Lounge," the sixth track revealed from their highly anticipated forthcoming full-length album, Grand Rising, due out digitally on July 24 via vnclm_ / Create Music Group.

 

Packed with sleazy riffs, larger-than-life storytelling, and an unapologetic rock 'n' roll attitude, "Shark Lounge"draws inspiration from one of Florida's most infamous nightlife landmarks, a notorious Daytona Beach strip club that became legendary for its outrageous atmosphere before ultimately being shut down.

 

Capturing the absurdity and excess of the venue, "Shark Lounge" embraces a fun, raunchy energy that perfectly complements the band's hard-hitting sound. To elevate the track even further, Gunshine enlisted Michael Starr, frontman of Steel Panther, whose unmistakable vocals and larger-than-life personality make him a natural fit for the song's tongue-in-cheek celebration of rock excess.

 

"The song is based on a famous strip club in Daytona Beach that was known for all kinds of debauchery," Austin Ingerman explains. "There were stories of prostitution, drugs, grandma strippers, pregnant strippers, even a dancer with a peg leg and they all performed above a live shark tank with an actual shark swimming below. The lyrics have a fun, raunchy vibe and we thought it would be fitting to feature Michael Starr from Steel Panther."

 

The songs guitars, bass, vocals, were tracked by Austin Ingerman in Pensacola, FL.. Chris Collier played drums (tracked at Ray Luzier’s studio in Nashville called “lose yer ear studios”). 

Chris also mixed and mastered the track, as well as, the whole record. 

 

"Shark Lounge" continues to showcase the diverse sonic landscape of Grand Rising, an album that finds Gunshine pushing their sound while remaining rooted in the swagger, hooks, and high-energy spirit that have earned them a loyal following.

 

Grand Rising arrives July 24 on all major digital streaming platforms.

 

STREAM "Shark Lounge" HERE

 

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

https://gunshine.diggers.store/

 

WATCH "Shark Lounge" Below:

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

 

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

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

 

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

SYMETRIA Release New Single + Lyric Video "The Game" via Curtain Call Records

Hard rock/metal band SYMETRIA have unveiled their powerful new single, "The Game," available now through Curtain Call Records, alongside an official lyric video. Recorded at SoundMine Studio in East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, "The Game" was produced and mixed by acclaimed producer Dan Malsch.

 

"The Game is really about the two games of life," explains the band. "The finite game is one you can play to win, and then it's over. The infinite game is different. It's played so that existence can continue and future generations have a game left to play. If not enough people are participating in that infinite game, everything eventually falls apart, and there are no games left to play at all."

 

The accompanying lyric video brings the song's themes to life, highlighting the tension between competition, purpose, and the enduring struggle to preserve what matters beyond ourselves.

 

Symetria has hit their 10 year mark running full steam ahead with a new EP All or Nothing releasing summer of 2026 on Curtain Call Records. This marks Symetria's 3rd release, and their second with Curtain Call.  Behind that comes a support lineup that makes it hard to deny the bands presence is growing both locally and on a national scene.

 

The band will be in New Jersey on Saturday, June 27th with an appearance at The NJ Metalfest XI. A show that has itself grown to be one of the NJ underground metal scene's premier annual events. After that they make their triumphant return to Reverb in Reading PA on Saturday, July 25th as the sole local opener for this summers first leg of the Metal Church tour. 

 

A few short weeks later on Friday August 14th at the Schuylkill County Fairgrounds, Symetria is in the company of an impressive list of local and national talent selected to support the Coal Region Music Fest. This is an event put on annually to raise funds and awareness to the local veterans support agencies in the region.

 

Then comes a huge road trip out to Bloomville, Ohio, where Symetria gets to stretch their legs for the Smoking Cole's Bike Rally an 8 Day event where the band lands themselves a Saturday night slot opening for the legendary Lita Ford. After that run of 4 shows Symetria makes their first appearance in Allentown PA in 8 years at the Allentown Arts Gallery.

 

The band then wraps up it's current schedule with their 2nd straight appearance on B'N'R fest Saturday November 7th in Birdsboro PA a local Reading area music festival that brings together some of the longest running local and regional acts in the eastern PA music scene. The band has plans in the works to tour for the first time with intentions of late summer or fall of 2027.

Sorry X Set to Release Debut Album ‘EXES’ on July 24th via SBG Records 

Alternative heavy artist Sorry X will release her highly anticipated debut album, EXES, on July 24 via SBG Records. The record marks a defining moment in the artist's evolution, capturing both personal transformation and creative discovery.

 

Written during a period of intense heartbreak and self-reflection, EXESchronicles the emotional aftermath of lost relationships while showcasing the sound that would ultimately define Sorry X's place within the heavy music landscape. Blending raw vulnerability with crushing intensity, the album serves as both a deeply personal statement and a bold artistic arrival.

 

“This album was critical in helping me find my sound,” says Alexa Graves of Sorry X. “It was written through intense heartbreak and the growth that followed, but it was also the record that helped me find my place within heavy music. It’s a Sorry X origin story.”

 

In support of the release, Sorry X will join The Art of Love & Power Tourbeginning July 16 in Greensboro, North Carolina at Hangar 1819, alongside Of Virtue and Savage Hands. The tour will introduce audiences across the country to the artist's energetic live performance and emotionally charged songs ahead of the album's release.

In a remarkably short time, the project has amassed more than 18 million independent streams and over 4 million views across TikTok and Instagram, building a rapidly growing audience through authentic storytelling and a fresh perspective on modern rock music.

 

Already being championed as "the next generation of Active Rock," Sorry Xis bringing a youthful and contemporary edge to the genre. The project is managed by Gary Avila, whose career includes work with bands such as Papa Roach, while the visual identity has been shaped by creative talent Shan Dan, known for work with Volbeat and Greta Van Fleet.

 

Produced by Billboard-charting producer Hiram Hernandez and Shea Moore, with co-writing from Tobin Esperance (of Papa Roach), "EXES represents the culmination of Alexa's artistic growth and the clearest statement yet of where Sorry X is headed. Throughout the album, themes of loss, resilience, identity, and self-discovery are woven into a powerful collection of songs that balance vulnerability with strength.

 

With EXES, Sorry X delivers her most authentic and fully realized work to date, a record born from heartbreak but ultimately defined by empowerment, evolution, and finding one's voice.

 

EXES will be available on all major streaming platforms on July 24 via SBG Records. Please get in touch if you would like to review the record or interview Alexa.
