SONS OF ARRAKIS Releases "Rise of Disaster," Announces New Album 'Volume III'

Using the cinematic universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune as a creative foundation, Canada's SONS OF ARRAKIS define their sound as melange rock / cinematic Sci-Fi rock. Blending raw, riff-driven rock with storytelling, atmosphere and evolving sonic landscapes, SONS OF ARRAKIS is preparing to release the full length Volume III on January 22, 2027, via Black Throne Productions. The new single "Rise of Disaster," featuring guest vocals by Luc Bourgeois (SANDVEISS), provides a first glimpse of the forthcoming album. 

"'Rise of Disaster' deals with war, manipulation and the way fear, suffering and collective trauma can be exploited by political and economic powers." The band explain. "One of the major influences behind the lyrics was Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine and its examination of how moments of crisis can be used to impose new forms of control.

The recurring question 'Whose side are you on?' deliberately has no simple answer. It reflects the pressure to choose between competing narratives while the same cycle of violence, destruction and retaliation continues underneath them."

Musically, "Rise of Disaster" evokes a dark soundscape. Urgent, heavy rhythms inject movement and momentum into the track's verses while the melodic choruses provide a contrasting and uplifting quality. Returning to the gloom, "Rise of Disaster" ends with a chaotic instrumental finale.

Produced by SONS OF ARRAKIS, Volume III was recorded at Red Tube Studio & Home studios with Luc Boivin, Frederic Couture & Francis Duchesne. The album was mixed and mastered by Karl Daniel Liden. Album artwork and single covers are by artist Alexandre Goulet at Goulet Design. 

Volume III will be available on vinyl, CD, cassette, and digital formats. 

SONS OF ARRAKIS continued to focus on live shows across 2026 returning to Europe for a festival tour including performances at Krach am Bach, Rock im Wald, Free & Easy and Sauzipf Rocks. As well as joining VOIVOD for a Western Canada tour and appearing at Infest Edmonton. Now the band are turning to focus on their next full length offering, Volume III, scheduled for release on January 22, 2027, via Black Throne Productions.

Enter Shikari Return With Surprise New Single "Higher Ground"

Enter Shikari today return with brand new single, the resolute and optimistic HIGHER GROUND. A totally unexpected release with no prior warning, it’s their first offering of new music since their surprise album release in April, HIGHER GROUND can be heard below. 

Frontman Rou has said of the new track

"Our music has often been about zooming out. Looking at the bigger picture on things gives us perspective, clarity, and often a strange calm in today’s relentless and difficult times. HIGHER GROUND is about just how pivotal taking the broad perspective is. Whether in our personal lives or when looking at the biggest problems that humanity faces, we often gain clarity and see connections that were previously hidden when we find time to zoom out. The track was written during the recording sessions for Lose Your Self but felt like its own entity so was parked and finished off slowly over spring and summer this year.”

The band recently announced that they will play two intimate shows later this month as a warm up to their November arena tour. These shows will also be the first since they announced their indefinite hiatus. The four-piece took to Instagram and shared this statement regarding the future of Enter Shikari, just last week.

Enter Shikari are gearing up for their biggest UK and EU headline arena tour, in November. The EU dates kick off on 3rd November at the Sporthalle in Hamburg, and include the band’s biggest ever German headline show. They will then begin the UK leg of the tour in Nottingham at the Motorpoint Arena on 13th November. They will be joined by Holding Absence and The Callous Daoboys as support for both the EU and UK leg. All dates, information and tickets for all live dates can be found here.

With zero announcements or teasers, Enter Shikari surprise released their new album in April this year. Lose Your Self (released via So Recordings) spans 12 tracks exploring themes of desolation, futility and complete despair at the state of the world, but with glimmers of hopefulness and optimism threaded throughout. Whilst the likes of major pop stars including Beyoncé, Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber who have famously released albums out of the blue over the years, Enter Shikari managed to not only release Lose Your Self digitally, but also physically, unlike their predecessors. Listen to the album here.

Lose Your Self was preceded by the band's 2023 album A Kiss For The Whole World, which delivered their first ever UK No.1 album in the Official Charts, where they had previously scored 6 Top 10 albums! The 2024 tour of the same name included their raucous debut Wembley Arena show. Last year, Enter Shikari released Live At Wembley, making the full live show available on streaming services, and on a limited run of vinyl available at only four record stores worldwide. Fans can watch the full set here, which features footage from the first FPV (first-person view) drone to be flown live at Wembley Arena! 

During their remarkable and celebrated career, Enter Shikari have received several accolades in the form of gongs from NME, Kerrang!, Rock Sound, Heavy Music Awards and more. They have played a whopping 3000+ live shows around the world including three headline arena tours in the UK, supported the likes of The Prodigy and Linkin Park and played festivals such as Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Download and Slam Dunk where they also headlined in 2023 and Warped Tour, Riot Fest and Sonic Temple in the US.

Bastion Rose Drops Creeping October Single "Supernatural" Announces January 15 Release for 'Blue Rising'

Timed perfectly for October, Bastion Rose returns with "Supernatural," a refreshingly dangerous sounding track that tackles the human tendency to beliefs in the supernatural as a shield against the threat of the unexplained. The song serves as the final, unsettling advance single before the band releases their highly anticipated album, Blue Rising, on January 15.

 

With 3 million catalog streams and counting, Bastion Rose continues to build a heavy sonic architecture defined by precision and aggression, coupled with the hallmark vulnerability and sensuality the band has become known for. 

 

"Supernatural" delivers sharp commentary disguised in ritualistic imagery. The track opens with themes of possession and moonlit communion before crashing into a soaring chorus demanding, "Bury me, bury me / And cover me in snake oil." The track delivers Bastion Rose’s usual progressive rhythmic approach, but this time features slide guitar, banjo, harmonica, and ghostly vocal harmonies.

 

"The song carries this inherent creepiness because it deals with what terrifies us most," says the band. "We surround ourselves with myths, prayers, and superstitions because the alternative—that we are nothing more than matter, destined to decay—is an unsettling possibility to face. The song is a look at how we use the supernatural as a ward against our own mortality."

 

While Blue Rising prepares for its January launch, the band refuses to slow their momentum. Bastion Rose is already back in the studio with three-time Grammy-winning producer David Bottrill (Tool, Godsmack, Mastodon, Coheed and Cambria, Rush) recording their next record, setting the stage for an aggressive release schedule throughout 2027.

 

"Supernatural" is available on all major streaming platforms.

Based in Bloomington, Indiana, Bastion Rose has emerged as a high-caliber hard rock project born from a pursuit of light within the darkness. Their sound is a sophisticated collision of post-grunge grit and alternative metal intensity, defined by potent, intelligent guitar work, ethereal soundscapes, monumental riffs, and powerful, impassioned vocals and lyrics. It is a sonic identity that caught the attention of three-time Grammy Award-winning producer David Bottrill. Known for his work with legendary visionaries like Tool, Godsmack, Muse, Peter Gabriel, and Rush, Bottrill describes Bastion Rose as a "new embodiment of classic heavy rock... the sounds, the tones, everything. They are reverential to the style of music from the past, bringing it into the modern world."

 

Bottrill’s involvement provided the blueprint for Bastion Rose’s world-class production standards. From the debut EP Fade To Blue to the full-length powerhouse Traces of Gold, the collaboration resulted in a sound that is both polished and visceral—music that balances the technical, rhythmic intelligence of Tool with the riff-centric, soaring melodic energy of Audioslave. This cinematic depth is not a studio trick; it is a reflection of a journey through hardship. The creative mission is inextricably linked to the personal story of Austin Frink, who navigated a period of staggering loss, including the sudden deaths of both parents and a cancer diagnosis that threatened to permanently silence his singing voice. Frink turned his pain and survival into a universal message. His lyrics explore the heavy themes of existence, hope, and the fleeting nature of life, transforming personal tragedy into a rallying cry for resilience.

 

The world has taken notice of this ascent. In less than a year, Bastion Rose has experienced a meteoric rise, with a catalog surpassing 2 million streams and a global community of over 60,000 YouTube subscribers and 53,000 social followers standing behind them. With critical acclaim from industry pillars like SPIN Magazine, Metal Hammer, and Classic Rock Magazine, Bastion Rose has scaled from a studio project into a market-ready force. Striking while the iron is hot, the band is currently unveiling their next prolific chapter: Blue Rising. Spearheaded by the haunting single, "Dust," the record is a philosophical exploration of transience. As Traces of Gold continues to dominate playlists, Blue Rising serves as a clear indicator of the band’s relentless creative pace. For those seeking music that is emotionally resonant and sonically massive, Bastion Rose is the essential melodic voice in the new era of heavy music.

Austin Frink: Vocals and Guitar
Austin Mudd: Guitar
Steve Pierce: Bass
John Donlon: Drums
Barrett Abraham: Keys

SAOR Release Re-recorded Version of "The Awakening MMXXVI"

SAOR, the one-man Scottish atmospheric black metal project of Andy Marshall, have released "The Awakening MMXXVI," the second single from the upcoming new album Caledonia, which comes out November 6 on Season of Mist. The track is a re-recording of a song first heard on 2014's Aura, and follows lead single "Carved in Stone MMXXVI" ahead of an album revisiting five songs from Saor's first three records.

Listen to The Awakening MMXXVI Below :

The song opens on an instruction: to truly understand the essence of antiquity, learn the lore of the land and become the atavist. From there it moves through a Gaelic cry of “èirich,” meaning “rise,” and a call to follow the celestial compass beyond the illusion of God, before settling on a vow to reignite the flame, forge an iron will, and keep to the overgrown path the forefathers once trod. It is among the most direct lyric writing on the album, now carried by the scale and atmosphere Marshall always heard in it, shaped by years of live performance.

"The Awakening MMXXVI" is one of five tracks on Caledonia. Rather than a nostalgia exercise, the album presents these songs as they exist today, after years of live performance and refinement, closing a circle between early Saor and the band's current form.

Pre-order & pre-save: https://orcd.co/saorcaledonia

Caledonia does not reinvent SAOR's past. It completes it, offering listeners the chance to hear where these songs have been all along, and where, after more than a decade, Marshall has finally brought them.​

Line-up:
Andy Marshall — Composition, Vocals, Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Bass, Pads

Production Credits:
Produced, mixed & mastered by Chris Fielding (https://www.chrisfielding.co.uk/).

Guest Musicians:

Carlos Vivas — Drums
Ella Zlotos — Female Vocals, Tin Whistle, Low Whistle, Uilleann Pipes
Àngela Moya Serrat — Violins

BADSQUATCH Releases New Single + Video “All My Friends Are Parasites”

Once again, in his newest single, BADSQUATCH gets gritty and he’s still not pulling any punches whatsoever.  The new track titled “All My Friends Are Parasites” is straight out of an old-school thrash catalogue complete with ripping guitars (featuring Cinthya Blackcat on lead) and a snarling attitude of somebody who is completely fed up with the people around them.  This will be the final single from his upcoming debut album, a fourteen-track mental health piece that he says is an account of his journey of learning what it is to be human.

 

As we grow into more knowledgeable, centered, and complete versions of ourselves, there’s a common experience that happens during stages of growth where one finally wakes up to realize that certain relationships are more one-sided than others. It’s a difficult moment to understand that people you may even love don’t reciprocate the same respect or value for the connection that you do, and when you are only pouring into others, yet they never pour back, it becomes a very draining relationship to be in.  Harder still, is learning to set new boundaries with these people as you move forward in your life on the journey to becoming the best version of yourself. Sometimes in that learning process, those boundaries can be vehemently and even harshly laid down.

 

BADSQUATCH’s journey to understand what it means to be human speaks on this with an explosion of exasperation in this new song. He talks of drowning in empathy, some unapologetic boundary-setting, and even straight up pointing the finger at you with a big “you suck”.  Following all of his gnashing of teeth, he does round out the song to include himself by changing the lyric to “we” all suck.  Maybe he’s reminding himself, or us, that we all can be an emotional vampire, and the journey that it is to be human involves a sense of self awareness, especially when one wants to grow.

Montreal indie rock artist Martin Saint explores the art of leaving on “Endless Bridge" single

Montreal-based indie rock/alt-pop artist Martin Saint presents his new single "Endless Bridge", a poignant exploration of love, loss, forgiveness, and letting go. The song follows a relationship from its tender, snow-covered beginnings through heartbreak and separation, ultimately arriving at the possibility of reconciliation and emotional release.

Drawing on the atmospheric DNA of ’80s artists such as The Mission, The Church and Echo and the Bunnymen, "Endless Bridge" evokes changing seasons, long distances, and the passage of time. Its imagery moves between the innocence of early romance, a sense of divine grace, and the vulnerability of confronting what remains after two people part.

At its core, the song is about what happens when love is tested by time and distance. Rather than holding on at all costs, the narrator gradually arrives at a place of acceptance—where forgiveness becomes a form of freedom, and letting go becomes its own expression of love. The final image, like an offering carried out to sea, captures that surrender: painful, beautiful, and ultimately liberating.

Martin Saint is a Montreal-based singer-songwriter who is perhaps best known as lead singer and guitarist of The Ember Glows and Citylake prior to that. Since The Ember Glows parted ways in 2024 after half a decade and a solid string of releases, Martin has established himself as a solo artist. Apart from writing, recording and performing his own music, he also collaborates with a handful of fellow Montreal artists, such as Johnny Couteau, SU, DJ Sarcastic, and HJ & The Constellations.

"Endless Bridge" is Martin's first new music since his full-length "Seekers" album, released in spring of 2025. With glimmers of Nick Cave, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Bauhaus and The Doors infused through his work, his music presents a unique cinematic mood permeated by poetic lyrics, baritone vocals, and hooks over soundscapes.

"The song "Endless Bridge" is about as close to a love song as I’ll ever get, but there’s a bittersweetness to it. Beginnings, endings, renewals. It expresses faith in the future and letting go of forces holding us back, even if this may take a lifetime. There’s definitely a spiritual undertone tucked in there. Musically, I wanted something that’d sound epic. Something that is melancholic and foggy, but ultimately also uplifting and catchy," says Martin Saint.

"In between the two albums, I went back into the studio to re-record "Endless Bridge", one of my holder songs that I had originally released back in 2017 with my former band Citylake. I felt this song, in particular, deserved a dedicated rework and a new release — under my own name this time around. This song and its performance reflects where I am at this moment in time, as well as how far I’ve come since the period that the song was penned."

On 'Endless Bridge', Martin Saint is accompanied by Julie Abel on piano, Frank Bones on drums, and Jack Vignavong on bass. Recorded and co-produced by Frank Bones and Martin Saint at Indica Studio 24, Studio Pacifique and Martini Lounge, with recording assistance from Olivier René de Cotret, the single was mixed by Frank Bones with cover photography and design by Ursa Minor.

Martin Saint has also published "Under The Full Angry Moon", a quality collection of song lyrics spanning a few years, along with a number of short poems and his own drawings to illustrate specific songs. The book comes with QR codes that lead to the respective recordings. Just as his music combines some of the dark elements of 80s UK post-punk with a touch of psychedelia, this book also blends cinematic imagery with dramatic delivery.

Out October 6th, "Endless Bridge" is available everywhere online, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. Work is already underway towards Martin's next full-length album in 2027.

SIGNS OF TRANQUILITY UNLEASHES “THE RISE” AN ANTHEM FOR BREAKING FREE, FINDING YOUR WAY OUT, AND BECOMING YOUR BEST SELF

SIGNS OF TRANQUILITY confront that difficult truth head on with their powerful new single, “The Rise,” an emotionally charged anthem about breaking free from the life that is holding you back and having the courage to build something better.

“The Rise” isn't simply a song about change. It's about the pain, fear, uncertainty and strength required to completely reinvent your life.

At its heart, the song explores what happens when the things you've built your entire world around are ultimately the very things hurting you. Walking away can feel impossible. Starting over can feel terrifying. And sometimes, the dream of becoming the person you were meant to be seems impossibly far away.

But that's where “The Rise” begins.

“The Rise is all about losing everything you’ve ever known in the search of becoming your best self, and creating a life that you wake up feeling excited about, and above all, living in peace.”

The song serves as a reminder that sometimes the first step toward a better life is recognizing that the life you're currently living isn't the one your heart is calling for.

Whether it's a life you hate, a dream that seems impossible, an environment that continues to hold you back, or an addiction that has taken control, “The Rise” carries one central message: There is always a way out.

The imagery behind “The Rise” is rooted in the idea of seeing the life you truly want and making the decision to climb toward it.

That climb isn't supposed to be easy.

There will be fear. There will be setbacks. There will be moments when letting go seems easier than continuing upward. But the song refuses to surrender to that fear.

“I promise you, if you are brave enough to look up and see the life you truly want for yourself and get on that rope and climb… There is always a way out, and a chance to live the way your heart truly calls for.”

It's a message about resilience without pretending that transformation is painless.

Because sometimes you fall.

Sometimes you lose your grip.

Sometimes you have to start again.

And that's okay.

“Be Brave, Fearless, and if you fall off that rope, dust yourself off and get right back on.”

That philosophy is the emotional heartbeat of “The Rise.”

SIGNS OF TRANQUILITY is working on two brand-new EPs of original music, with the first singles, The Enforcer, and Forgotten available now. To truly experience what the band has become, fans are encouraged to catch them live—because that’s where the magic happens.

THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT—Feat. Stone Sour’s Josh Rand & Casandra Carson—Unveils Cover of Led Zeppelin’s “Immigrant Song” + Visualizer

Today, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT - the dynamic collaboration between guitarist and songwriter Josh Rand (Stone Sour) and powerhouse vocalist Casandra Carson (Paralandra, Casandra’s Crossing) – are thrilled to reveal their latest reimagining, a hard-hitting take on Led Zeppelin’s iconic “Immigrant Song,” out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

 

Josh Rand comments: 

“Like 'Call Me,' we never planned to release 'Immigrant Song.' In 2019, we moved into a new house, with a new home studio. Really, the music was all put together with me just messing around with the vintage gear I had. Once I started working with Casandra, I asked her if she wanted to take a shot at this for the fun of it.”

 

Casandra Carson also states:

“Ironically, the first time I remember hearing 'Immigrant Song' was in Shrek the Third, haha!! The second I heard Snow White sing that Viking war cry, my soul and my senses lit up like I’d been struck by lightning. My dad told me it was a song by Led Zeppelin, and I became as obsessed as a kid who just tried chocolate for the first time. I couldn’t get enough. Years later, when I started performing in bands, 'Immigrant Song' remained at the top of my list of songs I wanted to cover. It was only fitting that I would suggest it to Josh, as well, when we first began working together. I guess now I’ll have to watch Shrek the Third again to celebrate our new release.”

Watch the Official Visualizer for “Immigrant Song” Below:

Stream/Listen to "Immigrant Song" HERE

Born from a shared musical vision and an undeniable creative chemistry, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT represents a fresh and compelling artistic union. While Rand had long envisioned launching a female-fronted project, it wasn’t until 2020 - when a mutual connection introduced him to Carson - that the idea truly began to take shape. What started as an exploratory collaboration quickly evolved into something far more meaningful, laying the groundwork for a project driven by purpose and artistic synergy.

Musically, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT fuses Rand’s signature heavy riffs and affinity for strong melodic hooks with Carson’s commanding and versatile vocal delivery. Drawing inspiration from classic metal, thrash, and progressive influences, the project channels the raw energy and spirit that first inspired Rand to pick up the guitar, while offering Carsonthe opportunity to explore new sonic and emotional territories.

Over time, the band has crafted a distinct sound that balances intensity with accessibility, underpinned by a natural creative partnership. Their material reflects a thoughtful and organic development process, allowing ideas to evolve freely and cohesively.

Lyrically, THE L.I.F.E. PROJECT sets itself apart by venturing beyond traditional rock themes, embracing broader narratives and concepts. Their songs often draw from history, social issues, and real-world tensions, exploring themes such as empowerment, resistance, and societal challenges. This approach adds depth and substance to their music, complementing its powerful sonic foundation.

Manchester's CAULBEARERS announce new album, sharing the lead track 'Brothers At The Wheel'

Manchester-based outfit Caulbearers return with ‘Brothers At The Wheel’, an urgent and uncompromising single that confronts the structures of power governing modern life, while ultimately offering solidarity and collective action as an alternative to despair. It's is a rich and timely preview of their forthcoming album 'Come Back Home', out on October 30th via Single Cell Recordings..

A collective of musicians formed in 2007 and led by Damien Mahoney, Caulbearers are known for blending diverse musical styles, including soul, funk, hip-hop, dub, nu jazz, folk and post-punk influences. With contributors hailing from around the UK and Europe, their DIY ethic has coursed through every element of their releases, from design, production, videos and gigs to the recording process itself.

Mixed by Seadna McPhail (Badly Drawn Boy, Jah Wobble, Everything Everything, I Am Kloot, Happy Mondays) and mastered by Jim Spencer (New Order, Johnny Marr, Charlatans, Factory Floor) at Eve Mastering, this song was recorded by Mahoney and Chris Hamilton at Toast Recordings and Seadna McPhail at Airtight Studio..

'Brothers At The Wheel' traces a journey of political awakening - from a naive plea for those in power to change course before disaster hits, to disillusionment at the resulting hollow words and empty promises that leave the status quo intact.

“If we truly consider humanity as a brotherhood and sisterhood of equals, it seems the ultimate betrayal of our family to exploit, to oppress and to victimise others whilst creating structures that concentrate wealth in the hands of an ever-smaller, unaccountable minority,” explains Damien Mahoney.

“The 'wheel' in the title is that system -- a machine built to keep turning for profit and power, regardless of the cost to people, communities, or the planet.”

The song's resolution isn't despair but solidarity: a call for unity at the grassroots level, recognising that the same struggle echoes in other streets, other words, other languages. In resisting the forces intent on dividing us, the lyrics point to real power within the collective -- like a seed that can grow into something more balanced, harmonious, and connected.

The song's urgency isn't just lyrical -- it's built into the music itself. 'Brothers At The Wheel' comes straight out of the traps with an unrelenting groove: strings, bass, and keys locked into a single insistent pattern, guitar answering in the gaps, percussion driving it forward, while the vocal melody cuts its own path in short, sharp phrases that swap between landing on and off the beat.

Past the tempo shift, the song opens into a second movement: a soaring, wordless lament from ethereal folk artist Ruth Blake — beautiful and mournful, yet defiant, a celebration of the human spirit. Underneath, the arrangement builds in waves — guitars layering, cello and violin rising, keys, bass and drums gathering weight — swelling to a crescendo before dissolving.

'Brothers At The Wheel' is available everywhere digitally from September 29th, including  Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp, the latter version also including a bonus radio edit, capturing the awakening in full — appeal, disillusionment, and the turn toward unity — within a tighter arc. On October 10, Caulbearers' album release show will take place at The Carlton Club in Manchester, joined by Ruth Blake and number of special guests, and support from John Haycock.

Guess I’m doin’ one thing right
Yeah I’m Bad Off, up to no good tonight

Electronic trailblazers DELERIUM & iconic avant-garde singer DIAMANDA GALÁS present “Into The Light“

Legendary Canadian electronic duo Delerium presents "Into The Light", a stunning collaboration with iconic American avant-garde singer and performer Diamanda Galás, released via Metropolis Records. An exquisite work of downtempo electronica, this track reveals itself as an opus of shadowy ethereal brilliance.

Delerium is a Canadian electronic music group founded in 1987 by the globally renowned duo of Bill Leeb and Rhys Fulber. Over the course of four decades, their music has encompassed a diverse range of styles that include dark instrumental soundscapes, ambient trance and electronic pop music.

"Into The Light" is the first offering from “Exaudire" -- Delerium's 16th album to date -- out in January 2027.  It embodies portions of “Deliver Me From Mine Enemies: IV. Ε Ξελόυ Mε [Deliver Me]“, which was written and performed by Diamanda Galás and included on her 1986 album “The Divine Punishment".  Produced by Leeb and Fulber, this was mixed and mastered by Greg Reely.

"Delerium has always been inspired by ancient spiritual callings through the ages.  Having followed and listened to Diamanda Galás music and voice, I felt there was a certain connection. I have always wanted to work with her on a collaboration and now was the right time. 'Into The Light' is a perfect example of how Diamanda channels pain into beauty, and her inner demons are exorcised into art," says Bill Leeb. 

Before forming Delerium, Leeb and Fulber had made a name for themselves with the highly influential electronic-industrial group Front Line Assembly (Leeb was also an early member of Skinny Puppy). Originally intended as a side project for exploring dark ambient instrumental compositions, Delerium ultimately took on a long and beautiful life of its own.

Since their 1994 album 'Semantic Spaces', Delerium has received two Juno awards and grown to massive fame through collaborations, involving vocals by Leigh Nash (Sixpence None the Richer), Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance), Kirsty Hawkshaw (Opus III), Emily Haines (Metric), Jacqui Hunt (Single Gun Theory), Matthew Sweet and Kristy Thirsk (Rose Chronicles). 

Worldwide chart success came in 2000 with the anthem "Silence (featuring Sarah McLachlan)", reaching #1 in numerous countries. Its remixes are also hailed among the greatest trance songs of all time (with the Tiësto remix voted the 12th-greatest dance track of all time by Mixmag readers).

With Front Line Assembly already part of the Metropolis Records roster, Delerium signed to the label for the release of the albums "Mythologie" (2016) and "Signs" (2023). Bill Leeb also released his widely acclaimed debut solo album "Model Kollapse" via Metropolis in 2024.

Delerium has also seen sync licensing placements with songs appearing in films such as "Brokedown Palace" and "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider". “Silence" was also recently heard in the hit BBC drama "Industry".

“Into The Light“ is out now across fine digital platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music and Bandcamp. Already available for pre-order, 'Exaudire' will be released digitally, on CD and as a double album on Oxblood vinyl on January 22nd, 2027.

DAVID REECE (BANGALORE CHOIR) & ROB ROBBINS Release “Remembering Rhett Forrester”

BraveWords Records went deep into the vault to bring you two tracks that have never been heard before, recorded by David Reece (Banagalore Choir) and Rob Robbins. The songs were recorded to remember the late Rhett Forrester, famous for singing on two classic Riot albums - Restless Breed (1982) and Born in America (1983).

David Reece & Rob Robbins "Remembering Rhett Forrester” is now available to stream or purchase hi res audio downloads from Bandcamp.

Stream of Download Hi-Def Audio files:

Giles Lavery, A&R BraveWords Records: “I met Rob Robbins back in 2019, when I reached out to him to see if he would be interested in working on releasing some of his work with the late, great Rhett Forrester, much of which had gone unreleased. During this project and process, we came up with an idea to revisit two classic Rhett tracks. I put Rob in touch with a singer named David Reece (Bangalore Choir), who had that Rhett vibe (in more ways than one). We picked Rhett's solo tune 'Assume The Position"' and the Riot classic 'Restless Breed'! These tunes sat around for a while as Covid got in the way, but now is the perfect time to unleash them! So, get comfortable and ASSUME THE POSITION!”

David Reece & Rob Robbins - “Assume The Position” below:

In 2024, BraveWords Records released Rhett Forrester & Rob Robbins - The Complete Dr. Dirty Sessions, a collection of songs celebrating a little known chapter in the musical journey of much missed rock vocalist, the one and only... the late Rhett Forrester during his time spent living in Canada in the early '90s. Originally billed under the band-name Dr. Dirty from 1992-1993, the songs were written by Scot Gaines and Rob Robbins before Forrester joined to complete the then new band.

Stream or purchase at: rhettforresterrobrobbins.bandcamp.com/

Produced by Robbins, this album features Forrester's distinct vocals accompanied by a talented ensemble of musicians including Rob Robbins on guitar, keys, and vocals, Rod Albon on bass, Brent Gattoni on drums and Matt Whale contributing keys on the track "Hold On". Rhett Forrester, known for his powerful voice and stage presence, takes center stage on this album.

Aeternum Release New Single "Spatial Memory", Announce Tour with Ventana and Deadly Apples ​ 

Modern rock band Aeternum continue a breakout year with the release of their new single “Spatial Memory,” while simultaneously announcing their upcoming Saints of Sickness Tour this November alongside Ventana and Deadly Apples.

 

Produced by Scott Wilson (Saving Abel) and co-written by Paul Bartolome (Asking Alexandria), “Spatial Memory” captures Aeternum at their most vulnerable and introspective, transforming a difficult personal moment into a powerful modern rock anthem. The band tracked all of the material at Sunshine Studios Live in Colorado Springs, creating a sonic foundation that balances atmosphere, intensity, and emotional honesty.

 

At the heart of “Spatial Memory” is the struggle to remain present when everything feels overwhelming. For vocalist Kayla, the song emerged from a particularly difficult day when she arrived at band rehearsal struggling emotionally. What began as frustration with a familiar grounding exercise ultimately became a deeper realization about the power of attention and awareness.

 

Kayla explains:

"With 'Spatial Memory', on a particularly hard day, I met with my band to write. I was straight up not doing well. my mindset at the time led me to the repetition of a grounding method I'd heard since I was a kid. 'Can you list 5 things you feel? 4 things you see? 3 things you hear?' etc. I felt annoyed thinking about this simple list of questions. Then annoyed with myself, why is the simplicity of a solution frustrating me? In reality I was resisting awareness. I underestimated the power of my attention, and where i place it. I really leaned into that feeling.” 

 

That willingness to confront difficult emotions has become an important part of Aeternum’s identity. After a year filled with new music, festivals, new cities, and an ever-growing fanbase, the band is ready to take that momentum back on the road.

Jose reflects on the band’s 2026 journey:

“2026 has been a year of growth for us, releasing new music, meeting a ton of new fans and playing some great festivals!”

 

Bass player Cam adds:

"It’s been exciting playing more new places with and engaging with fans old and new! We can’t wait to hit the road again this fall once more with Ventana and Deadly Apples.  We plan to be on the road again quite a bit next year as well as releasing a lot more music and videos." 

 

The Saints of Sickness Tour marks another major milestone for Aeternum, with the band heading out for their fifth tour in just two years. Drummer Kris says the opportunity to hit the road again with familiar friends makes the upcoming run especially exciting:

“Going out on our 5th tour in 2 years is surreal. Being out with our friends in Ventana once again, plus sharing the stage with Deadly Apples every night, is going to be mind-alteringly epicl!”

 

With “Spatial Memory” now available and another tour on the horizon, Aeternum are showing no signs of slowing down. The band plans to spend much of 2027 on the road while continuing to release new music and videos, building on the momentum of a 2026 that has already taken them to new stages and introduced their music to fans across the country.

SOUTH ARCADE REVEAL NEW SINGLE "F.A.M.O.U.S" — LISTEN

Riding a wave that shows no signs of slowing down, South Arcade return with their new single "F.A.M.O.U.S," out now via BKM Artists in partnership with Atlantic US. Listen to "F.A.M.O.U.S" below. 

Fans have been lucky enough to have a taste of the track live, with the band performing "F.A.M.O.U.S" at a run of festivals in Europe, as well as Summer Sonic in Japan last month. The band continue to tease what is yet to come as they release their third single of the year with their signature Y2K energetic sound. "F.A.M.O.U.S" follows on from previous singles "DEADMEAT" and "SUPERMAN," which was their biggest streaming debut to date. 

Speaking of "F.A.M.O.U.S," the band said, "It feels like everyone around you sometimes has an opinion on how you could be 'bettering' yourself or what you do. People love to chime in and tell you their negative opinions of you but when you strip it back, it always comes from a place of their insecurity. This song is essentially a big 'F you' to outside fickle opinions. This track is basically saying 'What have you got to lose' and 'Go for it' — if you've got something different or an 'edge,' make that your strength and leave those types of people behind."

South Arcade have made 2026 the year they became impossible to ignore. Across their catalog, South Arcade have generated nearly 200 million global streams and 277 million+ YouTube views, alongside a combined social following of over 1.8 million and more than 1 million monthly Spotify listeners. The band has sold over 40,000 tickets across the UK and EU. The band has racked up over 10,000 plays and 35 million impressions across UK and EU radio to date. On BBC Radio 1 alone, they've notched 420+ plays, 5 playlist singles, an appearance at flagship live event Big Weekend, and slots on Radio 1 stages at multiple UK festivals, alongside 3 singles premiered as Radio 1's "Hottest Record."

It's been a huge year of touring for the four-piece, with their first-ever Australian headline tour, a run supporting 5 Seconds Of Summer across EU and UK arenas, a string of summer festival dates across Europe including the main stage at Download, Warped Tour and  the Summer School Tour in the US. The band will close out this run of momentum with their biggest headline show to date, a now sold-out night at the iconic O2 Academy Brixton in London on February 25.

There's just no stopping them…

SOUTH ARCADE 2026 TOUR DATES:
11/14 — Orlando, FL — Vans Warped Tour

Savage Hands Choose Love Before The World Ends On "One Last Kiss"

Maryland's unflinching alt-metal catalysts, Savage Hands, stare down the end of everything their latest single, "One Last Kiss", out now via Oxide Music. Clinging to connection even as the world burns, "One Last Kiss" transforms an apocalypse into a final, bright romance that finds meaning in the moment right before goodbye. Fans can listen to "One Last Kiss" BELOW.

Fresh off the momentum of "It's Me" being featured on SiriusXM Octane and "Bruise" mapping out the complicated comfort of scars, Savage Hands turns to solace in surrender, choosing love as the last word before the end. Less about the fall of everything and more about the one person you'd choose to fall with, "One Last Kiss" opens tenderly and swells into an anthem, where the two halves never feel at odds with one another.

Explaining the idea that even the end of the world deserves a love song like "One Last Kiss", vocalist Mike Garrow shares:

"One Last Kiss is finding your special someone and traversing through all aspects of life. The world at often times can be bleak, so when you have someone breaking down the doors with you, it can seem a little more pleasant."

Guided early on by multi-platinum producers Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Sleeping With Sirens, etc) and Lee Rouse (The Funeral Portrait, Teddy Swims, etc), Savage Hands have sharpened their craft into a volatile blend of ominous atmosphere, sledgehammer riffs, and skyscraping choruses. A hybrid sound that dissolves the lines between post-hardcore, metalcore, and alternative rock, all while hitting with precision and purpose.

Propelled by the success of previous singles, "Demon", "Washed Away", and "Halo", the quintet have been in constant forward motion since their 2018 debut, amassing over 55 million streams along the way. From steely Maryland roots to festival stages, Savage Hands' relentless drive has shaped a previous that thrives on the collision of chaos and catharsis bleeding into one another. With their latest releases, "It's Me", "Feel Me", "POWER", "Trust Issues", "Reload Repeat", and "Trace Erase", Savage Hands are opening the door to a new chapter, one that's heavier, sharper and more unapologetic than anything that's come before.

Be sure to stay tuned for more Savage Hands news coming very soon.

ABOUT SAVAGE HANDS

After their breakout tracks “Demon”, “Washed Away”, and “Love No More”; Savage Hands cemented themselves as leaders in a new, modern rock sound. The band’s ability to balance heavy instrumentation with memorable hooks and raw vocal delivery catapulted their 2020 album “The Truth In Your Eyes” beyond 45 million streams, underscoring the band’s growing global reach. Beyond streaming, Savage Hands dropped two limited vinyl variants which immediately sold out due to large demand.

Like many artists, the global pandemic foiled and unwound plans that were years in the making for Savage Hands. Despite this, the band remained active in touring, supporting acts like Magnolia Park, Wage War, and While She Sleeps; as well as co-headlining with fellow up-and-comers Archers. Savage Hands made their debut DWP festival appearance at Louder Than Life in 2025, marking the Bourbon stage’s largest crowd of the day.

Savage Hands parted ways with Sharptone Records in 2025 and promptly began working on assembling a new album. Joining forces with Oxide Records, the band is preparing to launch a non-stop wave of campaigns starting May 2026.

“We are excited to finally close the chapter on all of the uncertainty the pandemic forced into our career. This album has been a long time coming, and we are so extremely grateful for Wetzel and Anthony at Oxide Records for believing in us and pushing us to become the band we were always meant to be.” - Mike Garrow

Swim the Current Release New Single “The Price We Pay" via TLG|ZOID, Distributed by Virgin Music Group

An Emotional Reflection on Loss, Memory, and the People Who Help Us Through the Hardest Days — Featuring Piano by Black Label Society’s JD DeServio

 

TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group, announces the release of “The Price We Pay,” the powerful new rock single from Swim the Current. Produced by George Pond, Chris Reyes, and David Caplinger, the track is an emotionally charged reflection on loss, grief, and the memories that help carry us forward when life feels impossibly heavy.

 

“‘The Price We Pay’ is really about losing someone you love and trying to hold on to the good times while you’re living through the bad ones. Loss is something we all deal with eventually, and sometimes those memories—the laughs, the stories, the moments you’ll never forget—are what get you through the hardest days,” says George Pond, bassist for Swim The Current

 

Adding an especially meaningful layer to the track is JD DeServio of Black Label Society, who contributes piano to the song. Pond and DeServio share a friendship that spans years of touring, conversations, and a mutual love of music. Both are accomplished bass players, but their long-standing friendship had never translated into a musical collaboration—until now.

While DeServio is widely recognized for his work as a bassist with Black Label Society, Pond emphasizes that his talents extend far beyond the instrument.

 

"This song became even more special to me because my good buddy JD DeServio from Black Label Society plays piano on the track. JD and I are both bass players, and after all these years of friendship, touring and talking just about every day, we’ve always wanted to do something together musically but somehow never had the opportunity. People obviously know JD as an incredible bass player, but he’s also an amazing multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer—and just an all-around amazing dude."

 

"More importantly, he’s one of my closest friends. Having him play on a song this personal means more to me than I can really put into words. He absolutely crushed the piano part and brought an emotion to the song that was exactly what it needed. After being friends for so many years, it’s an honor to finally have our names together on a piece of music. I couldn’t be prouder of what he brought to ‘Price We Pay.’”

 

“The back story on this one is very personal. I had written the music as an instrumental the week my pup Kodi passed away.  When George and Greg heard it, they asked if they could use the music for an STC song, and I agreed.  The lyrics that George and Marcos wrote capture all the emotions of losing a loved one.  It was the perfect marriage of music and lyrics," adds Joe Gareri, the band's lead guitarist.  

 

“The Price We Pay” is out now via TLG|ZOID, distributed by Virgin Music Group.

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.

Swim The Current delivers a high-impact blend of rock-driven musicianship, modern country-rock grit, and deeply personal storytelling. Built around guitarist and songwriter Greg Antine’s vision, the band transforms real-life experiences into anthemic, emotionally charged songs with a sound that is both cinematic and immediate.

 

Greg began developing the project with longtime collaborator and bassist George Pond in George’s home studio. The lineup soon expanded with Joe Gareri on guitar and keyboards, whose cinematic writing added depth and atmosphere, and drummer Chris Moore of Ultraphonix and Rock of Ages. The band’s final piece came with the addition of longtime friend Marcos Leal of Ill Niño, whose commanding vocals and creative songwriting gave Swim The Current its unmistakable identity.

 

Following the release of their debut single, “We Are Not The Same,” the band built serious momentum through a fully organic DIY campaign, earning thousands of streams, YouTube views, and followers without relying on traditional industry machinery. That grassroots growth reflects the direct connection Swim The Current creates with listeners—both online and in the room.

 

Drawing inspiration from Koe Wetzel, Lakeview, Treaty Oak Revival, and Hardy, Swim The Current combines hard-hitting guitars, soaring melodies, cinematic textures, and honest lyrics into a live experience designed to leave an impression. Now writing, recording, and releasing new music through TLG Zoid, distributed by Virgin Music, the band is bringing its distinctive sound and high-energy performance to audiences everywhere.
