Jamie's Elsewhere Announce New EP + Share "Traveler" Video

JAMIE'S ELSEWHERE, featuring Of Mice & Men vocalist/bassist Aaron Pauley, along with Matt Scarpelli [guitar], Chance Medeiros [bass], and Mike Spearman [keys] — are thrilled to announce the release of Alchemical, their new, five-song EP arriving June 20 via SharpTone Records. It follows the July 2023-released Paradise EP, which marked the band's first new music in almost a decade. Pre-order Alchemical here.

The band has shared the video for the new single "Traveler."

Watch the frenetic clip (and listen to the equally frenetic song) below 

"We're excited to be sharing Traveler with the world," says Pauley. "From the inception of this project, we set out to make an EP that takes the listener through a familiar and nostalgic JE sound, that introduces new soundscapes and ideas that we've never explored, and that ventures everywhere in between. We want to thank our fans for the many years of support, and we hope you enjoy this EP." 
  
About "Traveler" and the accompanying video, the band says,  "Working with Mike Matsui on the 'Traveler' music video was an incredible experience. His vision, along with his team's professionalism and creativity, truly brought the project to life in a way that exceeded all expectations."

Pauley, however, sums the new material up concisely and with confidence, saying, "Shit's rad, just listen to it."

You'd be wise to heed his command!

Jamie's Elsewhere enter an even more ambitious chapter with Alchemical. The California quartet continues to evolve its signature sound by blending emotionally charged heavy music with cinematic electronics, huge melodies, and signature intensity. This time, they craft a layered concept exploring transformation, identity, and inner alchemy — where personal growth feels as volatile and mystic as ancient science.
 
Since their original emergence in 2005, Jamie's Elsewhere has carved a lasting legacy with fan-favorite releases like Guidebook for Sinners Turned Saints and They Said a Storm Was Coming, touring alongside genre heavyweights such as Motionless In White, Ice Nine Kills, and Memphis May Fire. After a period of dormancy, the band reignited its creative flame during the pandemic, returning in 2023 with Paradise, a conceptual comeback that reintroduced their vision with new fire. Now, Alchemical raises the bar yet again.

WE CAME AS ROMANS Drop New Single "no rest for the dreamer"

Fresh off their explosive performance at Welcome To Rockville, metalcore vanguards We Came As Romans have released their brand new single, “no rest for the dreamer,” today. Debuted live in front of a sea of delighted fans this past weekend, the track continues the band’s powerful new era—first introduced by their previously released anthem “Bad Luck” —and further sets the stage for the band's upcoming Bad Luck World Tour. Stream "No rest for the dreamer" HERE and watch the accompanying visualizer below.

The track continues the defiant, emotionally charged new chapter the band kicked off with “Bad Luck”— their first release of 2025— and raises the stakes yet again. Rooted in perseverance, ambition, and the refusal to be broken, “no rest for the dreamer” is a raw and unrelenting anthem for anyone still clawing toward something better.

“This song is for the ones still fighting for their future,” says frontman Dave Stephens. “The ones who can’t sleep because they’re not done yet. It’s about carrying the weight of your past, knowing you’re still not where you want to be—but refusing to stop anyway.”

Built on a pummeling riff and one of the band’s most hauntingly melodic choruses to date, the song’s lyrics confront internal trauma, self-doubt, and the compulsion to run straight into the storm: “So why are you standing in the rain? What do you want to wash away?”

The release follows the huge momentum of “Bad Luck”, which launched the band's new 2025 chapter with a thunderous statement of resilience. With a stacked schedule of touring, festival appearances, and more new music ahead, “no rest for the dreamer” is both a battle cry and a brutal reckoning.

We Came As Romans hit the road this summer for the Bad Luck 2025 World Tour, beginning with a huge North American run on July 22 in Toronto and wrapping August 23 in Detroit, followed by an extensive European/UK leg in the fall. North American support includes After The Burial, Currents, and Johnny Booth, with Brand of Sacrifice joining for Europe. Tickets for the tour can be purchased HERE.

The band will also appear at major festivals Warped Tour, Inkcarceration and When We Were Young, reinforcing their role as one of heavy music’s most vital live acts.

ABOUT WE CAME AS ROMANS

We Came As Romans continue to progress and evolve at lightspeed, maintaining a place at the forefront of heavy music and culture. Never content to follow, they seamlessly alchemize crushing groove-driven catharsis, spacey electronics, and arena-size singalongs into a sound that refuses to sit still—effortlessly moving between metal, alternative, hardcore, and rock.

The Michigan-born five-piece—Dave Stephens, Joshua Moore, Lou Cotton, Andy Glass, and David Puckett—first broke through with Tracing Back Roots (2013), which cracked the Billboard 200 Top 10 and hit #1 on both the Independent Albums and Top Hard Rock Albums charts. Their self-titled 2015 album followed, debuting at #11 on the Billboard 200, cementing their status as modern metalcore royalty.

Following the tragic loss of original vocalist Kyle Pavone in 2018, the band has continued to honor his legacy with their 2022 album, Darkbloom, their highest-praised record to date. Kerrang! awarded it 4 out of 5 stars, calling it “a carrier for a knot of emotion, and a tribute to their friend.” It featured career-defining tracks like “Black Hole” (ft. Caleb Shomo), now over 102 million Spotify streams, and “Daggers” (ft. Zero 9:36), which surpassed 32 million streams. Media outlets including Loudwire and Consequence praised the album for its emotional range, sonic heft, and unapologetic vulnerability.

Now, with “Bad Luck” and “no rest for the dreamer” the band charges into a new era—scarred, sharpened, and more fearless than ever.

Levels Share Video for "Strange Things"

SharpTone Records welcomed Central Arkansas-based quartet Levels — Kolby Carignan [vocals], Jager Felice [guitar], Jacob Hubbard [bass], and Dalton Kennerly [drums] — to its global roster back in 2023. The band dropped  Pulse EP last year. Get it here.

Levels are back with their first taste of new music in a year in the form of the video for "Strange Things."

Watch it below. 

"'Strange Things' captures the chaos, irony, and dark humor of a world spiraling out of control," explains the band. "It's a raw reflection societal and personal collapse; blending apocalyptic imagery with a rebellious spirit and a grim sense of liberation. It's about facing the end with your eyes open, a drink in hand, and no apologies."

Raise a pint, then! The song's industrial crunch and thick and hefty grooves will push it to the top of any workout playlist! 

LEVELS are a cyber/industrial metal boy band from Arkansas known for fusing heavy music with elements of pop, electronic, and drum and bass. Since forming in 2016, they have independently amassed millions of streams, drawing influence from artists as diverse as Billie Eilish, The Prodigy, Static-X, and The Weeknd.

Following the success of their 2023 EP Pulse on SharpTone Records, which surpassed 1 million streams, LEVELS aren't adding to the noise; they're building something new, sharp, and unapologetically their own. Their sound fuses digital grit with raw emotion: Fark, distorted, and built to break through the static. LEVELS have built their rise on a fierce DIY ethic, steadily growing from small rooms to bigger stages, playing alongside bands such as Kittie, ERRA, Beartooth, The Devil Wears Prada, and more. LEVELS are more than a band. Their ever evolving world is built from cinematic visuals, visceral performances, and immersive storytelling, standing out in a hyper-connected yet emotionally disconnected era. With each track, they seek to reignite authentic connection. As they continue to carve their path through the metal landscape, their mission remains clear: don’t bury emotion – embrace it, channel it, and turn it into something that makes you feel again.

Caskets Release New Single + Video "Make Me A Martyr"

Yorkshire melodic metallers Caskets have today released their brand new single "Make Me A Martyr" via SharpTone Records.

Speaking of the new single, frontman Matt Flood says, "'Make Me A Martyr' refers to an exploration of self-destruction and emotional turmoil."

He continues, “‘Break me down, I'm nothing, I'm yours' shines on the raw vulnerability of letting yourself become so lost in someone else. 'You make me feel nothing, leave me to rot' is a nod to the numbness that comes from being so depressively and deeply trapped in a toxic connection. It's a cry for a real connection even if that means completely losing your own self-worth in the process of finding it."

Watch the "Make Me A Martyr" music video below:

There's an art to looking back — and an even greater one in knowing how to move forward. For Caskets, 2025 marks a new era built on reflection, resilience, and reinvention. After the breakout success of debut album Lost Souls — catapulting them across the U.S. and Europe with appearances at Download and Slam Dunk — the band took a deeper, more introspective turn with their followup, Reflections. Where the first album channeled frontman Matt Flood's influence personal struggles, Reflections offered a broader lens, weaving together the individual stories, tensions, and triumphs that shaped the band as a unit.

The often difficult second album became a vital step in Caskets' evolution — not only musically, with its blend of soaring hooks and ambient power, but also interpersonally, fostering the kind of creative collaboration that bands only reach through honesty and hard-earned growth.

Now in 2025, with over 350 million career streams to date, Caskets return stronger and more focused than ever. With new music on the horizon, the band continues to explore the space between melodic vulnerability and explosive catharsis, connecting deeply with a fanbase that grows with every release.

dead7 Announce "LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU STILL GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE" Out 7/11 + Share "Hole" Video

New SHARPTONE RECORDS signing dead7 are pleased to announce their new album LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU STILL GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE. It arrives July 11. Pre-order it here. 

On the album, the St. Louis, MO quintet — Jason Kozik [vocals], Dexter Greer[guitar], Tim Quinn [guitar], Stephen Salyer [bass], and Zach Guinn [drums] — temper guitar-driven grooves with electronics, atmospheric keys, and evocative vocals. Simultaneously, death and romance become interchangeable, rotating around an axis of relatable emotional turbulence. 

The band has shared the video for new single "HOLE."

Watch it Below:

"The song depicts a relationship where you’re walking on eggshells," says Kozik about the track. "You're dancing around all of the hard topics. You feel like every little thing you do is never enough, but you love this person dearly. It’s very self-reflective. No matter the circumstances or what you might do to please your partner or make them happy, you'll end up feeling lower than you ever have."

Regarding the album and its over-arching theme, Kozik says, "It's a look into the highs, lows, and the overwhelming feelings and effects that a relationship can have on a person. There are harsh realities that a lot of people go through when they are with their partner, and they might have a difficult time expressing those feelings. We hope to provide some comfort and solace in the fact that they are not alone."

Mission most definitely accomplished.

The album also features guest spots from Invent Animate's Marcus Vic and vocalist Aaron Matts.

Armed with this boundary-breaking style, dead7 initially rose up out of St. Louis during 2022. Following "unwanted" and "bite it," the group collaborated with Nathan Johnson of Fox Lake on "heaven only knows." Meanwhile, "tape mouth" surged with over 433K Spotify streams, paving the way for the new pain collection EP and all time does is pass and all i do is remember EP. Along the way, they packed headline gigs and graced the bills of festivals such as POINTFEST with Incubus, Bad Omens, Coheed and Cambria, The Pretty Reckless, and more. In late 2024, they caught the attention of Sharptone Records and inked a deal with the label. Hitting the studio, the band reteamed with frequent collaborators and producers Caleb Freihaut and Ben McGuiness to record what would become LOVE WHAT YOU CAN WHILE YOU GOT SOMETHING LEFT TO LOVE. This time around, the guys nodded to inspirations such as Loathe, Bring Me The Horizon, and Three Days Grace.

SENNA Unleash Video for "Drunk Dial Anthem"

German metalcore band SENNA have dropped the video for their explosive new single "Drunk Dial Anthem," the latest taste of their debut album Stranger To Love, out May 23 via SharpTone Records.

"You never imagined a time without this person," the band shares about the song. "For reasons beyond your reach, they are not part of your life anymore, may it be through circumstances that life throws at you or the sudden realization that your personalities reshaped each other incompatible. 'Drunk Dial Anthem' captures the exact moment and feeling — something between loneliness, comfort, and obsession — where you just want to hear 'It's fine' by this very person."

Following the momentum of previous singles "High Note," "Rain," "Blackout," and "Hurricane," the new song "Drunk Dial Anthem" continues to showcase SENNA's knack for combining visceral energy with emotional depth. Each track brings listeners closer to the heart of Stranger To Love — a record that navigates the intricacies of identity, connection, and quiet transformation.

 "Stranger To Love is a collection of anecdotes from our own personal lives," explains the band's very own Marcel. "These stories are not special in the sense that they are not extraordinary or unique to just us. They’re the kinds of experiences that happen quietly, in everyday moments... What makes these stories meaningful is not that they are special, but that they are real."

With its powerful rhythm and captivating sound, we wanted to capture the chaos of the mind and the struggle to find clarity amidst it. It’s a song for anyone navigating their own storm, seeking release and strength in the face of adversity."

Following the success of their previous singles "High Note," "Rain," and "Blackout," new track "Hurricane" further cements SENNA's ability to craft music that resonates on a deeply personal level while pushing the boundaries of their sound. With Stranger To Love, SENNA present an intimate and deeply reflective collection of songs that explore the subtleties of human connection and personal growth.

Marcel, speaking on the album's themes, shares, "Stranger To Love is a collection of anecdotes from our own personal lives. These stories are not special in the sense that they are not extraordinary or unique to just us. They are not these once-in-a-lifetime experiences that change everything. They're the kinds of experiences that happen quietly, in everyday moments. A conversation that didn't go as planned. Feelings that linger longer than they should. Slowly realizing that things have changed in a relationship. What makes these stories meaningful is not that they are special, but that they are real. They happen to us, they happen to people everywhere, every day. Sometimes they happen in obvious ways, sometimes in ways that barely get noticed. They’re part of what it means to figure things out. In the end, these moments connect us, even if we experience them in our own way."

LUNA KILLS Unveil "WAVES" Video

Finland's electrifying alt-metal powerhouse LUNA KILLS continue their ascent with the release of their captivating new single "WAVES." Watch the video below.

 Taken from their upcoming album DEATHMATCH, set for release on April 4 via SharpTone Records, the track dives deep into the struggles of repetitive cycles, self-doubt, and the painful realization of misplaced trust. The song's stunning music video, which premiered exclusively on Finnish television MTV3's Levyraati last Friday, delivers a visually striking interpretation of the song's emotionally charged themes.

"We all have patterns we struggle to break, and 'WAVES' is about drowning in the same mistakes, searching for a way out," shares vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen. "The song is about believing in someone or something that constantly lets you down; yet being unable to walk away because it feels like giving up on something you've worked so hard for."

With "WAVES," LUNA KILLS masterfully blends soaring vocal melodies, crushing guitar riffs, and atmospheric production, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting new acts in the alt-metal scene. The track serves as the fourth single from DEATHMATCH, following the success of "LEECH," "sugar rush," and "slay ur enemies." It further sets the stage for what promises to be a defining album for the band.

ABOUT LUNA KILLS:
LUNA KILLS are, without a doubt, one of the most refreshing modern metal act in the scene, combining alternative and nu-metal vibes with electronics inspired by game soundtracks. Their frontwoman Lotta, with her jazz singing background and incredible fry scream vocals, brings the audience to their knees — unless they are speeding around in moshpits, as often witnessed in their fiery live shows. Even as newcomers, LUNA KILLS have already opened the door to their beloved gaming world as their music is featured in the hit mobile app Beatstar. The band, first formed in 2019, has now taken their first steps on European stages, gained the attention of multiple rock radios in their native Finland and are moving forward towards their first full-length album with SharpTone Records.

SENNA Announce New Album "Stranger To Love" + Share Video For New Single "High Note"

German metalcore band SENNA are proud to announce the release of their debut album, Stranger To Love, on May 23. Ahead of the full-length project, the band unveiled its lead single, "High Note," available to stream everywhere.

Watch the official video below:

With Stranger To Love, SENNA present an intimate and deeply reflective collection of songs that explore the subtleties of human connection and personal growth.

Marcel, speaking on the album's themes, shares: "Stranger To Love is a collection of anecdotes from our own personal lives. These stories are not special in the sense that they are not extraordinary or unique to just us. They are not these once-in-a-lifetime experiences that change everything. They're the kinds of experiences that happen quietly, in everyday moments. A conversation that didn't go as planned. Feelings that linger longer than they should. Slowly realizing that things have changed in a relationship.

"What makes these stories meaningful is not that they are special, but that they are real. They happen to us, they happen to people everywhere, every day. Sometimes they happen in obvious ways, sometimes in ways that barely get noticed. They're part of what it means to figure things out. In the end, these moments connect us, even if we experience them in our own way."

The first taste of the album comes with "High Note," a track that dives deep into the emotional struggle of moving forward while wrestling with the past.

Simon describes the song, saying, "In a world that demands constant motion, there’s an undeniable tension between the pull of escape and the weight of what’s left behind. Our latest track 'High Note' captures that struggle—a raw exploration of navigating life’s harsh realities and the fleeting comfort found in temporary highs. It's a reflection on vulnerability, the search for refuge, and the relentless push to keep moving forward, even when the path feels uncertain."

SENNA have been steadily carving out their space in the alternative music scene with their raw lyricism and dynamic sound. With Stranger To Love, the band expands their sonic landscape, delivering a record that is both deeply personal and universally relatable.

Adding to the excitement, SENNA will join The Devil Wears Prada as support on their highly anticipated EU/UK tour next month sharing the stage with SeeYouSpaceCowboy and Kingdom of Giants. 

Stray From the Path Drop Video for New Single "Kubrick Stare" — WATCH // Band Signs to SharpTone

STRAY FROM THE PATH — Drew Dijorio, vocals; Tom Williams, guitar; Anthony Altamura, bass; and Craig Reynolds, drums — have fired off the video for the ferocious new single "Kubrick Stare."

Watch it below. 

In conjunction with the new song and visual, the band is pleased to announce that it has signed with SharpTone Records.

For "Kubrick Stare," Stray From the Path returned to the studio with longtime producer and frequent collaborator Will Putney [Body Count, Knocked Loose, Vein.fm]. They tapped into a groove almost immediately. Backed by a jarring beat, a stomping guitar riff punctuated by eerie squeals sets the tone for the track. It gives way to a vitriolic verse from Dijorio who wonders: "How much can we fucking bare?" Finally, the hard-hitting hook takes hold: "Oh you traumatized, just walk it off?"

About the track, which is somewhat of a commentary on our digitally driven society, Williams states, "It felt like we were capturing lightning in a bottle. We built the song around those scary chords. Every day, people on the Internet see the craziest things they've ever seen in their lives. Sometimes, it's hard to feel seriously about these atrocities because we see them all day. You're so numb to it that you're just staring blankly."

He continues "It's unfortunately become normal, and it's driving us crazy. Hence, the 'Kubrick Stare' reference — which was a tactic Stanley Kubrick used to show a character losing his mind. We're locked into our phones, and we probably look like Jack looking out of the window in The Shining."

Expect even more from Stray From the Path in 2025.

But for now, it's all about that "Kubrick Stare."

The band will hit the road later this month for a European tour supporting Spiritbox. All dates are here.

Since the turn of the century, the New York quartet has infused hardcore with metallic precision, hip-hop attitude, punk spirit, and unapologetic politically-charged songwriting unafraid to point out injustice. As such, they've engendered obsession among a diehard fanbase, selling out shows worldwide.  In 2025, an unbreakable creative and personal bond continues to drive the band as they prepare more music for release.

God Complex Announce New EP "He Watches in Silence" + Share Video for "Depraved Idol"

GOD COMPLEX have announced the details of their upcoming EP, He Watches In Silence, to be released on February 21 via SharpTone Records. Pre-order and pre-save the EP here.

To coincide with the announcement, the band have released the video for their caustic new single "Depraved Idol."

Watch the video below.

On their new EP, the band comments, "We're incredibly proud of this EP and we're thrilled for people to finally hear it. As a comeback effort, we felt it was important to do things differently, so we deliberately avoided lengthy pre-production and allowed small variations in the recordings to embrace the mess and chaos that sit at the heart of our sound. We wanted to create something more refined and savage than anything we've previously attempted."
 
God Complex continue, "The metaphor most people use to describe rebirth is the phoenix or a change of seasons but a more accurate image for this EP is a cornered animal. Something a bit feral with its drive to sustain itself untethered from restraint."

In regards to "Depraved Idol," the band states, "The title of the first single ('Salt and Ash') evokes what is left behind when everything has been destroyed — but we were also interested in exploring rebirth imagery in the idol of The Green Man. He's almost never depicted as a god demanding sacrifice, so our imagining is one where the renewal he symbolizes can only be attained through suffering and loss — a 'Depraved Idol.'"

GOD COMPLEX ARE:
Danny Skarratts — Guitars
Harry Rule — Vocals
James Lyon — Drums
Kyle Holt — Guitars + Vocals
Luke Lomas — Guitars
Sam Morris — Bass

OVERSIZE Share Video For New Track "Vacant' —

OVERSIZE have revealed their new single "Vacant," another glimpse of their stunning debut album Vital Signs, due February 28 via SharpTone.  

Watch the video below.

Stream the song here.

Of the single, the band comments, "''Vacant' is one of the few album tracks that made its way into our live set pre-release, it's one of our favorite songs to play live, and we're really stoked to release it as the last single before our album comes out."

Oversize continue, "Lyrically, the song focuses around a lack of connection and communication with the people around you, how easy it is to get complacent, and not check in with someone, or open up with how you're really feeling."

OVERSIZE have already turned the heads of many tastemakers in the UK scene, with rave reviews and rapt attention from Dan P Carter, Alyx Holcombe, and Jack Saunders at BBC R1. In their short time as a band, OVERSIZE have already performed at Outbreak Festival, and supported Militarie Gun, Higher Power, Fiddlehead, Boston Manor, and many more.  

Although still very much in its infancy, the group — which formed in the South West of England — has already developed a fully-formed, personal sound. Elements of post-hardcore, alternative metal, shoegaze, and emo combine to deliriously heady effect. While the band doesn't shy away from its love of alternative '90s music, and a love of HUM, Smashing Pumpkins, Deftones, and Pixies, OVERSIZE have very little interest in being sonically tied to the past. 

The band members and the shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene in just a handful of years. Exploring the vast range of dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals.

Psycho-Frame Sign With SharpTone, Band Shares "FEED" Double Single Feat. "NO REVIVES" + "FEED"

SharpTone is pleased to announce it has signed PSYCHO-FRAME to its roster.

Today, the band has shared the FEED double single, featuring the songs "NO REVIVES" + "BREATHING NAPALM." Watch and listen here. 

"'NO REVIVES' is a high-paced track containing all of the elements that have defined PSYCHO-FRAME thus far, sonically consisting of innate technicality and crushing heaviness," the band says. "The song focuses lyrically on destroying narcissistic thought patterns and eliminating an ego that would convince someone they are above others."

Viscerally technical, crushingly heavy, PSYCHO-FRAME are a band comprised of several veterans of metal's various subgenres with a purpose of creating aggressive and immolating music. Emerging onto the scene with debut single "24 Hours Left" in April of 2023, Psycho-Frame referred to themselves as the last deathcore band — a legacy they continue to uphold with the release of two highly acclaimed EPs, Remote God Seeker in May 2023 and Automatic Death Protocol in December 2023. Vocalist Michael Sugars is also formerly of the band Vatican.

Since then, the band have hit the road, touring alongside Balmora (Ephyra), Dying Fetus (Relapse Records), SPITE (Rise Records), and more, refusing to limit their exposure and influence to the realm of contemporary deathcore. In a short period of time, Psycho-Frame has solidified their place in the underground music community. Combining consistent intensity with a captivating live performance and an aesthetic that pulls from retro sci-fi, horror and anime to complement the chaos of their sound, the band will settle for nothing less than total domination.

PSYCHO-FRAME ARE:
Michael Sugars — Vocals
Hunter Young — Guitar + Vocals
Aiden 'Dave' Bessent — Guitar 
Jordan Crain — Guitar
Colter Cuthbertson — Vocals
Leo McClain — Drums

SENNA Share Video For New Single "Blackout"

Progressive metalcore powerhouse SENNA have returned with an adrenaline-charged standalone single, "Blackout," available now on all streaming platforms via SharpTone Records.

Renowned for their ability to weave intricate compositions with atmospheric intensity, SENNA raise the bar once again with a track that is both dynamic and deeply evocative.

Following their recent release of the emotionally charged single "Rain," SENNA continue to evolve their sound with "Blackout," delivering a masterful blend of raw energy and technical precision. The band has solidified their reputation as one of modern metalcore's most innovative forces, building on the foundation of their breakout debut EP, A Moment of Quiet.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the song, band shares, "In 'Blackout,' we really wanted to capture the raw, emotional journey of confronting self-doubt, and overcoming those inner fears that hold us back. It's about facing those personal battles head-on, and ultimately finding the strength to rise above them. The song is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there' always a way to move forward."

"Blackout" is now streaming worldwide via SharpTone Records HERE.

Adding to the excitement, SENNA will join The Devil Wears Prada as support on their highly anticipated EU/UK tour next month sharing the stage with SeeYouSpaceCowboy and Kingdom of Giants.

LUNA KILLS Share Video For New Single "LEECH"

LUNA KILLS, Finland's rising alt-metal sensation, have unleashed their ferocious new single, "LEECH," the third track taken from the recently announced album, DEATHMATH, set for release on April 4 via SharpTone Records. 

The album promises to be a defining statement for the band, showcasing their emotionally charged lyrics and unrelenting sound. Previously, LUNA KILLS released "sugar rush" and "slay your enemies," both of which earned critical acclaim and cemented the band’s place as a rising force in modern alt-metal.

Watch the video below. Stream the song here.

Vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen commands the track with haunting, powerful vocals, while the band’s signature combination of heavy riffs, thunderous drums, and driving bass amplifies the song's dark yet anthemic energy.

"'LEECH' is a raw depiction of battling depression and thoughts of self harm,' vocalist Lotta Ruutiainen explains. "Its lyrics portray the denial and avoidance of facing the depths of the illness, even as it spirals out of control. Ultimately, it conveys the painful understanding of staying in that place, where fear and self-hatred have entwined so tightly with one's identity that they seem impossible to separate."
 
Ruutiainen shares a surprising insight into the creative process, saying, "The song was one of the last few we wrote for the album, and the music came together in a more relaxed and joyful manner than the lyrics might suggest. It's one of those songs that came together quickly because everyone instantly connected with the melodies and rhythms and had a shared vision for it."

LUNA KILLS are, without a doubt, one of the most refreshing modern metal act in the scene, combining alternative and nu-metal vibes with electronics inspired by game soundtracks.

God Complex Sign With SharpTone Records + Share Video For New Single "Salt and Ash"

Beloved UK metal band GOD COMPLEX have returned with their vicious new single "Salt and Ash" and announced their signing to SharpTone Records.

On signing to their new label, the band comment:
"We’re thrilled to be working with SharpTone on this release. We have longstanding friendships with other bands on the label and have always been impressed with their vision and the support they’ve extended to our peers. We’re humbled to be part of such an amazing roster of artists and elated to start this new chapter for the band."

On their new single, the band continue:
"Salt and Ash begins with a reprise of the melody from Worthy Host that closed the album. We wanted to show that in one sense we’re picking up exactly where we left off and to tie the new songs to what came before. It was important that we respect our previous body of work but demonstrate that we’re not content to rest on our laurels and retread old ground, which is why the song immediately veers into absolute chaos. The title Salt and Ash evokes a terminus, the emptiness left behind when everything has been destroyed."

Janine Shilstone comments, "'SNO' is a raw, emotional journey that captures the fragility and power of confronting your inner shadows. Vulnerability dancing with heavy-as-fuck guitars felt like the perfect soundtrack for an exorcism of trauma."

ABOUT VUKOVI:
As the world waited with bated breath for new material, VUKOVI embarked on their first co-headlining tour across the United States with brethren Calva Louise, supported metal titans Babymetal across the UK, and conquered a number of major music festivals such as Welcome To Rockville, Sonic Temple, Download Festival, Rock For People, and Graspop (to name a few). How they found the time to crisscross the globe, leaving a trail of electrified audiences in their wake, remains a mystery.
 
Some say that when VUKOVI takes the stage, the air hums with a strange electricity, and time itself seems to bend, as if the band is channelling something otherworldly.
 
We asked the band for comment, but were offered no answers, only more questions. 
 
Their songs tell stories that are both intensely personal and universally relatable, exploring themes of mental health, love, and the human condition with a sharp edge. Yet, beneath the surface, there's always an undercurrent of something darker, a sense that the music is a portal to a world just beyond the veil of our reality.
 
As VUKOVI continue to carve their path through the rock landscape, one thing is certain: they are a band unlike any other, a force of nature that refuses to be tamed or fully understood. They invite us to join them on their journey, to explore the uncharted territories of sound and emotion, but they do so on their terms. In the end, perhaps it's the mystery that makes VUKOVI so compelling — a reminder that in a world where everything seems knowable, there are still secrets worth keeping

No Cure Share "Hang Me From the Bible Belt" Video — WATCH // Band Drops EP Today

 NO CURE — comprised of Blaythe Steuer [vocals], Aesop Mongo [guitar], Kyle Ray [guitar], Jake Murnane [bass], and Duncan Newey [drums] — have dropped their concept EP I Hope I Die Here , December 6, via SharpTone Records. Grab the eight-track EP here, which will include a limited run of double 7" vinyl, cassettes, and a CD. 

Today, they have shared the video for "Hang Me From the Bible Belt," which features Gideon's Daniel McWhorter. Watch it below.

"I am so proud of this song," says Steuer. "I sat on the intro riff for a couple years and I'm so happy it finally found its place. This song came together so well and it says what I've needed to say my whole life. Thank you so much to Dan singing on this with us."

On the EP, the band delivers an inimitable hybrid of gritty basement-bred hardcore boosted by death metal proficiency and explosive unpredictability. The EP also features guests on every track. All features are highlighted in the track listing below. "Every track features someone that has made an undeniable mark on Alabama hardcore over the years," the band explains about inviting so many of its friends to contribute to the release. "We do not expect you to recognize every name on this record, and that's the point."

As for the EP as a whole, the band has stated, "I Hope I Die Here is a love letter to Alabama and the Southeastern experience. It is an acknowledgment of suffering, and a proclamation of strength. This record is conceptually driven and more musically diverse than our previous EPs, on purpose. There is a distinct reason for each song to exist. We approach many topics, including what it's like to grow up under the boot of religion, fraternity culture, the dark side of a beloved landmark, local ecological exploitation, and more. We do not believe the world needs any more songs about how craaaaaazyyy of a guy you are, how much you hate your town, or how your ex was such a *checks notes* bitch for breaking up with you because you cheated on her."

Expect more from No Cure in 2025.

LUNA KILLS Announce New Album "DEATHMATCH" + Share Video For New Single "sugar rush"

Rising Finnish alt-metal force LUNA KILLS are making waves with the announcement of theird ebut album DEATHMATCH, set for a worldwide release on April 4 via SharpTone Records. DEATHMATCH is a powerful collision of vulnerability and aggression that captures the chaos and conflict within the mind with unflinching honesty. The album's raw and electrifying tracks delve into the complexities of mental health and the longing for escapism. Pre-orders available here. 

Following the success of their crushing debut single "slay ur enemies," LUNA KILLS are keeping the momentum alive with the release of their second single, "sugar rush." The electrifying track balances ferocious riffs with haunting melodies, capturing the exhilarating highs and devastating lows of chasing fleeting thrills.

The band explains, "'sugar rush' captures the drive to pursue happiness in the face of persistent self-doubt. Centered around the struggle to find happiness despite a constant sense of never measuring up, the song delves into the pressures of a world that demands overachievement and monetization of everything, ultimately draining the joy from passions that once gave life meaning."

Reflecting on the song's creation, the band adds, "At the time, before we started writing 'sugar rush,' we had been working on other songs for a long period of time and we felt really exhausted and after multiple failed attempts of trying to force ourselves to focus, we felt that we needed to reset our brain and mindset. 'sugar rush' became a powerful outlet for all that we were going through, a way to channel exhaustion and frustration with the pressures of perfectionism and constant productivity. The creative process itself almost became a form of catharsis, a reset, allowing us to confront those feelings directly and then transform them into something meaningful."

LUNA KILLS have also revealed an exciting lineup of tour dates and festival appearances, starting with select shows in Finland and culminating in an album release show on April 5, 2025, at On The Rocks in Helsinki. They'll hit the stage both as headliners and in support of notable acts such as Blind Channel and Warmen, bringing their ferocious live energy to fans across Europ

OVERSIZE Announce Debut Album "Vital Signs" + Share Video For Title Track

OVERSIZE have announced their stunning debut album Vital Signs, due February 28 via SharpTone.

To commemorate the news, the group has unveiled the title track "Vital Signs."

Watch the video below.

Stream the track here.

Of the single, the band comments, "While 'Vital Signs' is technically the title track of the album, it was originally written as an album closer and from start to finish was written comfortably in under an hour. The simplicity of the song and the free-flowing structure, combined with extra production elements — drum loops and super saturated and effect heavy guitars — give this song a unique feel within our catalogue of songs. Lyrically, much like the rest of the album, the song revolves around a journey of grief and the acceptance of loss. We felt the lyric 'Vital Signs' was the perfect summary for the album as a whole."

On the album, the band continues, "It feels very surreal to finally be releasing our debut full-length. Pretty much since the start of the band, we knew we wanted to be an 'album band.' Even through we had released two EPs previously, we've always had enough material written to make a full-length, so we knew after the second EP it was time to make the jump. Recorded in under two weeks at The Ranch Production House, we closely collaborated with producer Lewis Johns to create something we’re really proud of.

"It was always our aim to write an album where each song has its own identity yet still works holistically as an album, we were really conscious of the album not sounding too 'samey,' yet at the same time, not feeling like a playlist of random songs. We're still so honored that SharpTone shares our passion and vision for the record and can't wait for people to finally hear it."

The band members and the shared experience of writing and playing live together has found them carving out their own space within the alternative scene, in just a handful of years. Exploring the vast range of dynamics within their music, songs drift between atmospheric textures to loud fuzzy riffs, magnifying and complimenting the personal and often venerable vocals.
