SERPENT LORD Shares Title Track from Upcoming Album, 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old'

Solo pagan black metal project SERPENT LORD will be releasing its debut album, 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old,' on May 29, 2026 via Eisenwald Records. The project is now releasing the title track of the offering. Unlike the previous two singles, which were Bandcamp exclusives, "The Once Forgotten Way of Old" is now available on all streaming services and can be found at THIS LOCATION.

SERPENT LORD first slithered into existence in 2003, emerging as a solitary pagan black metal vessel forged by Jake Superchi (UADA, Ceremonial Castings). Though the project's first true album was recorded in 2005, the work was abruptly shelved and lay dormant for twenty years. Now, in the Year of the Snake, the ancient offering has been reborn and reimagined as 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old,' preserving every note of its primordial conception.

The album was re-recorded in the cold heart of the Pacific Northwest between 2022 and 2025, engineered and mixed by Jake Superchi, and mastered by Arthur Rizk. The release features new artwork and the original logo created by Kris Verwimp, along with photography by Peter Beste.

Pre-orders are now live via the Obsidian Spells Shop (North America), Eisenwald (EU/UK), and Bandcamp (Worldwide).

Originally formed over two decades ago, SERPENT LORD existed largely in the shadows, issuing only a handful of demos before entering an extended period of dormancy. Yet, the creative force behind the project never faded. Ideas, fragments, and compositions endured across the years, shelved for the right moment, only fully taking shape and being realized in the Year of the Snake, when the vision was finally forged into its definitive form.

Early demo material already hinted at what SERPENT LORD would become: a severe balance between melodic grandeur and unrestrained aggression, with transitions between atmosphere and brutality, produced to enhance rather than obscure its intensity.

Founded by Jake Superchi (known for its creative force in UADA and CEREMONIAL CASTINGS), SERPENT LORD channels the spirit of ’90s pagan black metal. The album stands as a triumphant and immersive work - melodic, fierce, and steeped in ritualistic energy. Expansive riffing, evocative passages, and a dynamic interplay between harsh and atmospheric elements, both timeless and fully awakened.

The album was recorded and mixed by Jake Superchi, and mastered by Arthur Rizk, achieving a sound that retains raw edge while delivering clarity and depth. The cover artwork, created by Kris Verwimp, along with photography by Peter Beste, further underscoring the album’s mythical and arcane atmosphere.

With 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old,' SERPENT LORD emerges from decades of silence with a work that fulfills the promise of its early recordings; it's an album shaped by time, and driven by an uncompromising vision of black metal.

EIVØR - reveals otherworldly new song 'Healer'; announces North American and EU tours

Uniquely talented Faroese artist Eivør has revealed a brand-new song. With her new single 'Healer', Eivør opens the door to a new chapter, one rooted in vulnerability, strength and transformation.

Listen to Eivør's new track 'Healer': https://eivor.bfan.link/healer
Watch the 'Healer' video Bellow:

Marking her first release since the 2024 album ENN, 'Healer' arrives after an extended period of international touring, where Eivør has performed across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand, steadily deepening her connection with a global audience.

Set within a dark, atmospheric sound world, 'Healer' blends a distorted piano-led bass line with cinematic strings and ambient textures. Driven by a steady, pulsing rhythm and carried by Eivør’s raw, expressive vocals, the track moves between fragility and release, like letting go in a storm while still carrying everything you’ve been through.

At its core, the song is a reflection on self-worth and resilience. It captures the tension between falling and finding your footing again, holding space for both doubt and quiet strength.

Eivør explains:
“‘Healer’ is a conversation with my younger self - the one who once doubted everything and didn’t feel like she was enough. It lives in the space of falling and finding your footing. The song holds onto the idea that even in those moments, something stronger is quietly building.”

The accompanying video, directed by Faroese filmmaker Katrin Joensen-Næs, extends the emotional world of the song through a stark and symbolic visual language. Shot entirely in black and white, the film unfolds around two mirrored figures, exploring themes of identity, transformation and inner dialogue. All production design and costumes are created within this monochrome palette, reinforcing a visual language that reflects an inner emotional landscape. The video is inspired by the idea that time heals all wounds.

Following a period of near-continuous touring, 'Healer' signals a shift towards a more direct and emotionally immediate form of songwriting, while retaining the depth and physical intensity that define her work. 

Eivør continues: “I poured my heart into this song. I hope it meets you where you are, and maybe offers you a sense of strength and healing.”

Eivør is also very proud to announce new, extensive tour dates across North America, Europe and the UK.

Tickets for North America and Europe will go on general sale on Friday May 1st.
A pre-sale is available now, sign up here: https://laylo.com/eivor

Eivør is one of the most distinctive voices to emerge from the Nordic music scene, an artist whose work bridges ancient tradition and contemporary sound. Raised in the Faroe Islands, her music is deeply shaped by the stark landscapes and communal singing culture of her homeland, where music is both ritual and everyday expression.

Blending elements of Nordic folk, cinematic composition and modern production, Eivør has built a genre-defying catalogue across 11 studio albums. Her sound moves fluidly between the primal and the refined, combining raw vocal techniques, atmospheric textures and rhythmic intensity. In 2021, she was awarded the Nordic Council Music Prize, recognising her unique artistic voice and contribution to contemporary music.

Alongside her solo work, Eivør has gained international recognition for her compositions for film, television and games, including The Last Kingdom and God of War, where her voice and writing have helped define expansive, emotionally driven sound worlds.

Eivør is an established international live artist, having toured extensively across Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand in recent years. Following the release of her latest album ENN, she has continued to grow her global audience through major headline touring. Her live performances are known for their intensity and emotional depth, translating the physical and atmospheric qualities of her music into a powerful on-stage experience.

Eivør’s music occupies a dark, atmospheric space shaped by cinematic composition, ambient electronic elements and touches of alternative and Nordic -influenced sound. Rooted in tradition yet distinctly contemporary, her work carries a strong emotional undercurrent and a sense of physical presence. Now signed to Nuclear Blast, her latest music marks the beginning of a new chapter, more direct, intimate and sonically focused, while retaining the depth that defines her work.

Swim the Current Bassist Survives Heart Attack as Band Releases "Already Dead"

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

 

The title of the track has taken on a deeper meaning in the wake of a frightening real-world event involving bassist George Pond.

 

Pond recently traveled overseas to perform shows in Japan with Mass Punishment, but during the run he suddenly fell ill and suffered a massive heart attack far from home, away from friends and family. Fortunately, the band is relieved to share that George is now making a strong recovery, and is expected to return to the U.S. soon.

 

In a powerful coincidence, Swim the Current’s new single “Already Dead” arrives as a reminder of how quickly everything can change and how resilience can rise from even the darkest moments.

 

Alongside the single, Swim the Current also unveiled the lyric video for “Already Dead."

STREAM "Already Dead"

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

 

WATCH the Official Lyric Video for "Already Dead" Below :

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

 

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

 

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

CURSED AWAKENING Deliver Thrash And Neoclassical Elements In The New Single "Rest In Chains"

Chicago's CURSED AWAKENING have unleashed their latest single offering, "Rest In Chains". Taken from their upcoming concept album Path Of A Soul, which follows a fresh born soul as it navigates its new existence, this track sees the creature distraught at the realization of having damaged its own future. 

In "Rest In Chains", having dissociated from the reality of the hellscape in which it inhabits, the protagonist has seen through its delusions and subsequently fallen into destructive tendencies. The creature has begun its dark descent following a path formed of anger and hate. 

CURSED AWAKENING power into life with unceasing ferocious heavy thrash riffs. This brutal bombardment aptly mirrors the highly intense narrative focus of the track. Unrelenting in its attack, the heavy rhythms storm ahead before giving way to a slower, more emotional section performed on classical guitar by the band's former guitarist Zayd Acevedo. Segueing into a neoclassical solo, the track then delves once again into the untamed anguish of the chorus arrangement. 

About CURSED AWAKENING

Formed in Chicago, Illinois in 2021, CURSED AWAKENING (formerly known as ARRHYTHMIA) delivers a thrashy death metal sound rooted in classic influences such as DEATH, BOLT THROWER, AT THE GATES, SLAYER, THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER, and SUFFOCATION. Their music combines old school riffing, melodic passages, neoclassical soloing, and introspective lyricism that goes beyond surface level extremity.

After reforming under the CURSED AWAKENING name in early 2026, the band solidified their creative identity and lineup. The current lineup consists of Abraham Verdin on rhythm guitar and lead vocals, Michael Nystrom Bala on lead guitar, Brady Dukart on bass and backing vocals, and Ronnie James Keough on drums.

With 2024 bringing notable live performances in Chicago and beyond, CURSED AWAKENING continues to sharpen their sound and vision. The band's latest release of singles including "Past Newtonium" and "The Rift", alongside the newest "Rest In Chains", are further testament to the band's continuation and escalation, marking a darker and heavier chapter as the band moves toward their upcoming 2026 album.

CURSED AWAKENING is:

Abraham Verdin – Rhythm Guitar, Lead Vocals
Michael Nystrom Bala – Lead Guitar
Brady Dukart – Bass, Backing Vocals
Ronnie James Keough – Drums

Dan Marshall Releases New Song "Middle Man"

Singer-songwriter Dan Marshall releases his new single “Middle Man” , a grounded, blue-collar anthem that leans into the perspective on which country music has always been built. The new single, on Red Van Records, is out now.

Written by Marshall alongside Walker Wilson and John Stephens, “Middle Man” captures the pride, grit and resilience of everyday Americans. Built around boots to work before sunrise, putting food on the table and getting back up when life knocks you down, the song paints a clear picture of a life lived somewhere between tradition and survival, or as the chorus puts it, “somewhere between Jesus and Jones.”

“I grew up and my values are somewhere in the middle, working hard, figuring it out as you go,” said Marshall. “That’s been my story since I moved to Nashville. ‘Middle Man’ felt like the right way to say that and hopefully connect with people who see themselves the same way.”

“Middle Man” finds Marshall leaning into a sound that feels both classic and current, pairing plainspoken lyrics with a steady, singalong chorus that speaks directly to the genre’s core audience. It is a song rooted in identity, one that recognizes the value of hard work, community and the people who often go unseen.

A Virginia native, Marshall began his musical journey on piano at age 12 before teaching himself guitar at 18. He started sharing original music in 2021 and quickly found traction with his authentic voice and storytelling. His 2023 releases “She Wants A Ring” and “Heaven’s Honky Tonk” marked early milestones, with the latter generating more than one million views on TikTok.

Since moving to Nashville in the fall of 2022, Marshall has become an active presence in the songwriting community and was named one to watch by Country Wire in 2024 alongside Ella Langley and Zach Top.

With “Middle Man,” Marshall continues to carve out his space, delivering a song that feels lived in and familiar, while reminding listeners that there are still plenty of stories left to tell from the middle.

“Middle Man” is available everywhere.

THE ESTES METHOD Deliver Hauntingly Raw New Single "Forgotten"

Alt-rock force THE ESTES METHOD returns with a gripping new single, “Forgotten,” a track that cuts deep, hits hard, and refuses to be ignored. Blending raw emotion with thunderous instrumentation, “Forgotten” marks a bold step forward for a band that continues to carve out its own lane in the modern rock landscape.

“Forgotten" is a dark, atmospheric track centered on the experience of hitting your lowest point and feeling lost and disconnected while searching for a way back to yourself. The song moves through themes of fragility, uncertainty, and internal struggle, using imagery like a ‘glass soul’ and the night sky to represent both vulnerability and guidance. At its core, it’s about following the ‘shine’ through the darkness and allowing that pull to lead you toward strength, clarity, and self-rediscovery.”

From the first note, “Forgotten” pulls listeners into a storm of atmosphere and intensity. Driven by haunting melodies, crushing guitars, and a vocal performance that feels both vulnerable and defiant, the song explores the fear of being erased of slipping through the cracks of memory, relationships, and time itself.

THE ESTES METHOD BIO

THE ESTES METHOD is a female-fronted metal band forged in the shadows of Kansas City, MO. Blending haunting melodies with brutal riffs, they explore themes of personal ruin, rebirth, and the chaos in between. Fusing heavy metal with dark atmospheres and cinematic tension, their sound is a descent into emotional extremes — equal parts raw vulnerability and unrelenting power.

Solo Artist Zack Miranowic Releases New Single & Visualizer “What Do You See?”

Southampton, New Jersey–based solo artist Zack Miranowic has released his new single "What Do You See?", accompanied by a visualizer. The single is the second offering from his forthcoming full-length album Sinking Low, and continues Miranowic’s solo vision — channeling darker themes through massive riffs, dynamic songwriting, and powerful melodic vocals with a touch of grit.

 

Miranowic shares, "Oftentimes people do not assess what kind of life they've lived until the very end - more specifically, what kind of people they were in their life and to those around them. I think it's important every now and again to check in with yourself. Are you where you want to be or is there room to grow and improve? Were you kind to others or were you cruel? The even bigger question is, were you even aware?"

 

Notably, Miranowic handled every aspect of the release himself. “The album was completely produced, mixed, and mastered by me."

 

His music dives into deeply personal territory, exploring mental illness, anger, the passage of time, and lived experiences with honesty and intensity. Balancing aggressive instrumentation with atmospheric depth and strong melodic sensibility.

 

“What Do You See?” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

Melodic Metal Act DEAD KARMA Release New Single "Settra"

Heavy melodic quartet DEAD KARMA explore tales of immortal gods, conquest and power in the new single, "Settra". The release presents a change in creative direction from the Canadian act, as the band deliver a more aggressive, technical sound. 

Lyrically, "Settra" follows an ancient and immortal desert god who seeks to reclaim a throne that is rightfully theirs. The track is situated from the perspective of Settra, with imagery around subjugation, otherworldly forces, and gold drawing in elements from the tale of King Midas. Fantasy novels and games also became a source of inspiration. 

Channeling the spirit of punk, prominent percussion centers the track's rhythmic quality though it diverts away from a more conventional punk beat. A combination of power chords, harmonized leads, and a technical solo produce a heavy yet intricate sonic texture from the guitars that are positioned alongside a more explorative bass line. Employing vocal layering and group vocal sections, the overall impact is more dynamic. 

"Settra" was recorded, produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Rowan at Skaldic Studios. The cover artwork was designed by Andrew Cannell with the photo by Paola Koenig.

About THE BAND:

Based out of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, DEAD KARMA formed in 2022 with Andrew Cannell (vocals/guitars), Raman Kambo (guitars/vocals), Sean Frankruyter (bass/vocals), and Jacob Jansen (drums). Kambo subsequently departed at the end of 2023, and 2024 brought the release of the band's debut, four-track EP The Space Camaro. 

The band draws musical inspiration from across post-hardcore, metal, prog rock and punk with primary influences taken from acts such as THRICE, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, TOOL, and MASTODON. Melodic leads are central to DEAD KARMA's sound, with riffs predominantly crafted around memorable hooks.

2025 saw the recording of new material and DEAD KARMA welcomed Dylan Meiler (guitars/vocals) in fall of the same year. The new single, "Settra", showcases a more aggressive, stylistic shift away from their first EP release.

Romanticide Unleash Powerful New Single “Modern American Nightmare (Wake Up)”

Rising rock force ROMANTICIDE return with their latest single, “Modern American Nightmare (Wake Up),” an emotionally charged and sonically explosive track that confronts the harsh realities facing targeted immigrant communities in today’s social climate.

Blending atmosphere with aggression, the song pulls listeners in with eerie, melodic verses before erupting into a massive, crashing chorus. Layers of vinyl scratching add a raw, unsettling texture throughout, while a tense and atmospheric bridge builds anticipation before detonating into a crushing breakdown. The track’s climax delivers a relentless surge of heavy guitar riffs, nu-metal inspired rapping, and visceral screams—capturing both fury and urgency in equal measure.



“Modern American Nightmare (Wake Up)” showcases ROMANTICIDE'S ability to fuse genres while delivering a message that hits as hard as the music itself. It’s not just a song—it’s a statement.

ROMANTICIDE shares:

“The song was born out of watching the decline of American society and the rise of fascist rhetoric surrounding immigrants. We wanted to channel our anger and frustration towards the system perpetuating all these awful things into a song about our marginalized and targeted community members.”

With this release, ROMANTICIDE continues to push boundaries both musically and thematically, using their platform to amplify voices and confront uncomfortable truths.

“Modern American Nightmare (Wake Up)” is available now on all major streaming platforms.

ROMANTICIDE BIO:

Often politically charged and full of anger while other times moody and reflective, ROMANTICIDEis a Midwest Nu-Metal band. A trio based out of Indiana, vocalist Matthew Ruin, guitarist Collin Adams, and bassist Isaac Asberry make music that is important to them. With influences ranging from Limp Bizkit, Korn, and Deftones, all the way to Ozzy and Ghost; the band is eager to embrace their roots while excited to traverse new sounds and never put out the same song twice in a row.

Her Head's On Fire Announce New Album "Am I Not Your Girl?" + Share "We're Not Running"

Her Head's on Fire announce their new record Am I Not Your Girl?, out via Iodine Recordings on July 17. Pre-order it here.

Alongside the album news, the band has shared first single "We're Not Running." Listen below.

"If you stand alone with a brick in your hand against an oncoming wave of tanks with no hope of success, you still throw the brick," vocalist Syd Jagger says. "If there is an overreaching theme to 'AINYG? It would be hope in the face of adversity. This song was the last one written for the album, a late night jam sent to me by the band. 10 minutes later, I had the melody and chorus, sometimes they write themselves. I wasn't trying to but you can hear me starting to blow out the vocal microphone during the 'I won't let go' part. All of the vocals for this album were done in one day so I waited til the end of the session to record this one because I knew I wanted a raspier spent sound."
 
Am I Not Your Girl? is the latest from a band that's excelled at weaving past and present to deliver rock music that hits a sweet spot of post-hardcore grit and genuine songcraft. Am I Not Your Girl? is an exercise in simplicity born from years of consistency, prioritizing true-blue songwriting that draws on a lifetime of influences, from Revolution Summer sincerity to the conciseness modeled by The Replacements: Big choruses, big moments, big emotions.

Despite its members having played in a murderer's row of beloved, important bands in the worlds of post-hardcore and emo (Garrison, Saves the Day, The Bomb, and more), the four-piece have locked in on what the band really is across two previous records, College Rock and Clove Cigarettes and Strange Desires. Her Head's on Fire isn't trying to coast off those acts but rather push their work forward.

Mixed by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Joyce Manor), the album excels at making the listener feel like they're in the room with the band as it happens, with production focused on capturing the music live rather than creating anything artificial. 

Nowhere is the band's philosophy better illustrated than in Am I Not Your Girl?'s cover art. Painted by Joy Johnson and inspired by the photography of Nan Goldin, it's a collage of illusory moments all occurring within the same space, one emotion bleeding into the next. In the same way that different feelings melt into one another, the record's emotive highs do the same, each beat of exuberance, pain, and sadness flowing into the one that follows. "Maybe this record's on in the background while people have a beautiful conversation, fall in love, or navigate a brutal moment," Jagger says. "I am honored to be any part of that soundtrack."

At the core of the band's mission is community: Playing shows and inviting the world in. Having shared stages with the likes of Quicksand, Hey Mercedes, and The Suicide Machines, there's a sense of connection that threads through both the music itself and their consistent activity as a touring act. "This thing attracted us because we were outliers, and we needed to feel less alone in the world," Jagger says. "We can't let the ugly trappings of the world creep in and take a hold of this thing. This community, this love is what it is all about."

HER HEAD'S ON FIRE ARE:
Jeff Dean — Guitars
Syd Jagger — Vocals
Rodrigo Palma — Bass, Keyboards
Michael Soucy — Drums and Percussion

Adam Ezra Group -Pocket Full of Seashells — Out Today

Over the last months I’ve been playing this song out...solo in the middle of our sets - and I've heard you singing it back to me. Softly, sweetly…and usually with less lyric mistakes. :) 

It hadn't even been released, and you already know it…yet another reason I am so grateful for the path I’ve chosen.

It’s officially in the world today. As personal as it gets for me - about being out there missing my girls and choosing every single day to believe in this journey I'm on. I know most of you know it live…can’t wait for you to hear the raw recording from the studio. ♥️ 🐚👧 👶

Revelate

With “Pocket” out, we are officially on the home stretch toward the Revelate album release. Something is happening right now that I honestly don’t have words for. You’ve already bought more tickets to the album release in Boston than we’ve ever sold for a show before. You’ve already ordered more signed and numbered first editions than any of us had imagined. Your streaming is the reason our music is reaching so many new listeners. We are not taking a single second of it for granted. 

Swedish Thrashers BLOODSTAIN Unleash New Single "Something Sinister" via Threeman Recordings / Sound Pollution

Today, BLOODSTAIN release their new single “Something Sinister” via Threeman Recordings / Sound Pollution. The track marks the band’s second release of the year and plays a key role in building momentum toward their debut album, set for release this fall.

With “Something Sinister,” BLOODSTAIN further sharpens their musical identity. The song is driven by a strong, cohesive riff structure, a well-defined dynamic progression, and a sound that fuses classic hard rock roots with a modern production suited for both streaming platforms and the live stage.

What distinguishes BLOODSTAIN in today’s expanding hard rock scene is their precision and instinct for songwriting dynamics. “Something Sinister” highlights the band’s ability to craft compelling hooks and sustain energy throughout, resulting in a track that resonates equally well in curated playlists and larger live settings, a balance many aim for, but few execute effectively.

The single also reinforces the band’s sonic direction, featuring a production that is powerful without excess, and aggressive while remaining accessible. Each element is carefully considered to strengthen their identity, making this release a strategically important step ahead of their upcoming album. It demonstrates not only consistency but also a clear sense of progression in their sound.

Alex Hellid (Entombed) comments:

“I am incredibly proud of what these guys have achieved so far, and being able to follow their development up close is truly fantastic. The sky is the limit! BLOODSTAIN is one of the most outstanding young hard rock bands right now — Sweden’s next major hard rock export!"

Stream / Listen to "Something Sinister" HERE

BLOODSTAIN formed in late 2023 in Stockholm, Sweden, and quickly became one of Sweden’s most talked-about new metal bands. Built on classic metal and thrash foundations—and sharpened by relentless rehearsal and stage time—BLOODSTAIN delivers fast, heavy songs with hooks, precision, and a youthful intensity that translates instantly live.

After a breakout year with the self-released debut EP 'I Am Death,' the band’s live momentum accelerated rapidly. In 2024, BLOODSTAIN’s Stockholm show at Debaser caught the attention of Alex Hellid (Entombed), leading to a long-term management and production partnership with Threeman Recordings.

2025 became the band’s “proof year”: festival appearances, headline-level crowd reactions, and high-profile support shows—most notably on tour supporting Dark Tranquillity (with Iceland’s Múr). BLOODSTAIN also continued building an audience that actually buys physical releases and merch—an increasingly rare advantage for a new band.

BLOODSTAIN are:

Oskar Lindroos - Guitar/Vocals

Tobias Lindström - Guitar/Backing Vocals

Jonathan Thyberg - Bass/Backing Vocals

Benjam Norgren - Drums/Backing Vocals

Gåte are one of the most distinct bands to come out of Norway. Starting in the early 2000s, the band broke new ground by mixing Nordic folk tradition and modern rock. In 2002, their debut album entered at #1 on the Norwegian Albums chart and won them the Spellemann Award (Norwegian Grammy) for Best Newcomer. Following two more successful albums, the band took a hiatus before returning in 2017 to critical acclaim and sold-out performances. They represented Norway in the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest and toured throughout Europe in 2025 with Leprous.

As they open a new chapter with Season of Mist, today, Gåte are releasing  “Sannsiger”, the first single from their soon-to-be-announced sixth studio album. Featuring Maria Franz from Season of Mist labelmate Heilung, the song sets a decisive tone for what the band has in store. It weaves Hardanger fiddle and nyckelharpa into their contemporary sound, threading together into an intense and immersive expression that’s shaped by repetition, tension and ritual movement.

“Signing with Season of Mist reflects a shared ambition to work without compromise and with a long-term vision for reaching an international audience”, Gåte says. “The title of our  new single, ‘Sannsiger’, is a figure who is found in folklore and belief systems across cultures. They are understood as someone who interprets signs, visions and divine messages, in order to foresee what lies ahead. Within the context of this song, they also represent those who dare to speak uncomfortable truths. Throughout history, and still today, such voices have often been silenced, punished or attacked for challenging what others wish to keep hidden”.  

“‘Sannsiger’ hit me from the very first moment that I heard it”, Heilung vocalist Maria Franz says. “The song’s raw energy immediately resonated with me. I’ve been a fan of Gåte for many years, so accepting the invitation was a no-brainer. The band were wonderful to work with, and I’m very excited to hear the rest of their upcoming album”.

In anticipation of their upcoming new album, today, Gåte are also announcing a fall headline tour. The tour will bring the band to nine cities across Norway, plus one date in Istanbul, Turkey. During this ten date run, they will perform “Sannsiger”, along with other new songs and fan favorites from their celebrated discography.

Gåte are also performing an acoustic set at Castlefest in the Netherlands on August 1, plus another acoustic set as special guests for Wardruna at the Nordic Night event in Oslo on June 13.

Rooted in the intersection of Nordic folk tradition and contemporary rock, Gåte have spent over two decades developing a sound that feels both ancient and fiercely present. Drawing on centuries-old ballads, oral traditions and traditional vocal forms, the band transform these sources into music that is physical, emotionally direct and unmistakably their own.

“Gåte have been drawing from traditional music and transforming it with modern means into something new right from their beginning”, Metal Hammer writes.

Rather than treat tradition as a fixed reference, Gåte approach it as a living force. Old material is not preserved for its own sake, but reworked and recontextualized, allowing it to resonate with contemporary urgency and relevance.

“Our music comes from a place where tradition is not something fixed, but something alive” the band says. “We draw from old sources because they still speak to us, and because they allow us to express something honest and human today.”

SERPENT LORD Emerges with New Album, Debuts First Single via Bandcamp

Solo pagan black metal project SERPENT LORD will be releasing its debut album, 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old,' on May 29, 2026 via Eisenwald Records. The project has debuted the haunting first single, "Aries Ram," can now be streamed below.

SERPENT LORD first slithered into existence in 2003, emerging as a solitary pagan black metal vessel forged by Jake Superchi (UADA, Ceremonial Castings). Though the project's first true album was recorded in 2005, the work was abruptly shelved and lay dormant for twenty years. Now, in the Year of the Snake, the ancient offering has been reborn and reimagined as 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old,' preserving every note of its primordial conception.

The album was re-recorded in the cold heart of the Pacific Northwest between 2022 and 2025, engineered and mixed by Jake Superchi, and mastered by Arthur Rizk. The release features new artwork and the original logo created by Kris Verwimp, along with photography by Peter Beste.

Pre-orders are now live via the Obsidian Spells Shop (North America), Eisenwald (EU/UK), and Bandcamp (Worldwide).

The artwork was created by Kris Verwimp and can be found below

Originally formed over two decades ago, SERPENT LORD existed largely in the shadows, issuing only a handful of demos before entering an extended period of dormancy. Yet, the creative force behind the project never faded. Ideas, fragments, and compositions endured across the years, shelved for the right moment, only fully taking shape and being realized in the Year of the Snake, when the vision was finally forged into its definitive form.

Early demo material already hinted at what SERPENT LORD would become: a severe balance between melodic grandeur and unrestrained aggression, with transitions between atmosphere and brutality, produced to enhance rather than obscure its intensity.

Founded by Jake Superchi (known for its creative force in UADA and CEREMONIAL CASTINGS), SERPENT LORD channels the spirit of ’90s pagan black metal. The album stands as a triumphant and immersive work - melodic, fierce, and steeped in ritualistic energy. Expansive riffing, evocative passages, and a dynamic interplay between harsh and atmospheric elements, both timeless and fully awakened.

The album was recorded and mixed by Jake Superchi, and mastered by Arthur Rizk, achieving a sound that retains raw edge while delivering clarity and depth. The cover artwork, created by Kris Verwimp, along with photography by Peter Beste, further underscoring the album’s mythical and arcane atmosphere.

With 'The Once Forgotten Ways of Old,' SERPENT LORD emerges from decades of silence with a work that fulfills the promise of its early recordings; it's an album shaped by time, and driven by an uncompromising vision of black metal.

Once To Die Release New Single "Endure" via Mindful Recordings

Southern California band Once To Die released their brand new single “Endure” via Mindful Recordings. The track serves as the second song on The Conquest: Volume 1, the band’s upcoming release and the first chapter in their developing campaign.

 

"Endure" was formed with the idea of reminding every individual that there is a power inside us all to endure anything in life.  Tragedy and loss are inevitable but the strength inside you is the answer.

From the chaotic depths of Southern California, Once To Die was formed in the spirit of introducing powerful yet rupturing experience. Forcing an untainted memorandum that what we face in this life can be conquered against overwhelming odds.  The path of conquest we leave in our wake is yet a distinction of the hereafter.

 

With “Endure,” Once To Die begins the next step in their path forward, setting the tone for what’s to come on The Conquest: Volume 1—a release built on resilience, confrontation, and the relentless will to survive.

New Southwest Contender in Alternative Rock, LES PALMS Releases Debut Single ‘Second Chance’

New Southwest contender in alternative rock, LES PALMS, releases debut single “Second Chance”. This track is a refreshing take on late 90s/early 2000s indie rock with a pop-punk punch. The lyrics preach a relatable human element, how in even the worst situations everyone deserves a second chance. The single was produced in Las Vegas, NV under Chris Collier

The group’s founder and guitarist Sean Fitz is the bassist for the RIAA Gold Certified American

hard rock band OTHERWISE. Seth Laurent(frontman) and Volkan Tonga (bass) are both

founding members of the high-energy Las Vegas band theguiltyparty. The trio met through

shows with each other's respective bands and bonded over writing music.

Sean Fitz on the single:

“‘Second Chance’ was originally written for my solo project, but once I heard Seth’s version of

the song, I knew we had something I wanted to run with. Flash forward four months, and Les

Palms is more than just an idea.”

Seth Laurent behind the lyrics of

“Second Chance”:

“‘Second Chance’ is very personal to me. Not being adequate enough for someone due to a

drinking problem is not a fictional tale in my life.”

Seth Laurent on recording with Chris Collier:

“Working with Chris Collier was one of the best experiences I’ve had making music. He let me

work through as many takes necessary, giving the track performance room to shine. “

The track will be available everywhere from Apple Music to Spotify, and even your local Touch Tunes on April 10, 2026. You can find more information on the band at their website lespalms.com

DOKKEN'S ERASE THE SLATE IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR THE FIRST TIME ON 180G VINYL IN THE UNITED STATES

Dokken, formed in Los Angeles in 1978, had several hit singles which charted on the Billboard Hot 100, such as "Alone Again", "In My Dreams", and "Burning Like a Flame", and has sold more than 10 million albums worldwide. The classic Dokken line-up consisted of founder Don Dokken on vocals, George Lynch on lead guitar, Mick Brown on drums and Jeff Pilson on bass.

Released in 1999, Erase the Slate had marked a fresh chapter for Dokken, introducing Reb Beach (best known for Winger and later Whitesnake) as the band’s lead guitarist. Erase the Slate blends Dokken’s classic melodic metal roots with a more modern, late-'90s hard rock edge. Reb Beach brought a technically sharp yet fluid guitar style that differed from the flashier, more aggressive approach of former guitarist George Lynch. His playing added a polished, groove-oriented feel while still delivering strong solos and riffs,

Now it is available through Deko Entertainment for the first time in the United States on 180g vinyl. Completely remastered, repackaged, and limited to only 500 copies of each variation including a beautiful Green Smoke and classic Black.

HEY THANKS. RETURN WITH SOPHOMORE ALBUM AVOIDANCE ALBUM ARRIVES JULY 3 VIA IODINE RECORDINGS BAND SHARES "RECOLLECTION"

hey thanks. have returned — and with a darker, more deliberate sound.

Blending post-punk and new wave influences, their sophomore full-length, Avoidance, reflects on time, identity, and the weight of isolation.

The album will arrive July 3 via Iodine Recordings. Pre-order or pre-save it here.

Today, the band shares the moody, new wave and '80s-influenced single "Recollection." Listen Below":

"Lyrically, this song is an expression of trying to understand the difference between love and desire," says singer Travis Opal. "The feeling of fulfillment that certain social and romantic relationships can give a person, etching them into feeling a sense of community and/or belonging. But trying to understand where that intent comes from within."

As for the song itself, Opal shares, "The production was created using a lot of the live drum samples we made and fiddling with live percussion and guitar performances. Blending that in with a wide array of synth landscapes that we recorded in our home studio."
 
Overall, Avoidance finds hey thanks. stepping back from trying to explain everything and sitting in the uncertainty instead.
 
 Across these songs, nothing fully resolves. Moments repeat, thoughts loop, and meaning stays just out of reach. It lives in that in-between space, caught between experience and understanding.
 
As mentioned by Opal, Avoidance was recorded in their home studio. The album took shape piece by piece using live drum samples, layered percussion, guitar performances, and dense synth work, giving Avoidance its character. The band allowed the songs to unfold naturally, arriving somewhere more honest in the process.
 
Built on synth layers, live percussion, and bright, driving rhythms, the songs move with a steady pulse while never fully settling. There is a constant push and pull throughout, something that feels light on the surface but carries weight underneath.
 
Rather than offering clarity, Avoidance stays with the questions.

HEY THANKS. ARE:

Jaron Dufrene — Guitar
Trevor Lee — Drums

CRIMSON GLORY Release New Track “Beyond The Unknown” from the Upcoming Album “Chasing The Hydra”

Crimson Glory recently announced their brand new album “Chasing The Hydra”, the first new album in 26 years. The album will be released worldwide on all digital services, CD and vinyl on April 17th via BraveWords Records. The early reviews have been incredible and today the band releases a new track to YouTube for the fans… “Beyond The Unknown”

“Encapsulated, “Beyond The Unknown” was inspired by the thought of being comfortable with not knowing the answers to questions that pertain to the cosmos, our origins, our purpose, etc., and in some cases, even being apathetic towards it. Since the dawn of time, man has never been comfortable with not knowing things, and many times he has settled for not only unsatisfactory answers, but answers that are provably wrong. Whatever we fill in the gaps with, there will always be things we don't know, and may never know. So, we could say that there will always be things beyond the unknown.”

SALIVA Release New Single "COPE" feat. Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch via Judge & Jury ​    

A Rock Anthem Rooted in Resilience and Redemption, “Cope” Delivers a Message of Hope for Those Struggling Through Life’s Darkest Moments

 

Saliva have returned with their new single “Cope,” featuring Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch, available now via Judge & Jury Records. 

 

“Cope” is a rock song that illustrates a vision of hope to people in a dark place. The track blends the crisp rap cadence of Bobby Amaru with the soaring vocals of Trevor McNevan of Thousand Foot Krutch. The song was produced by Cameron Pierce Mizell (Machine Gun Kelly, Sleeping with Sirens) and Luke Fiadino (Locked Shut, Dixon Dallas, Jackson Rose). 

 

Resurfacing the sonic aesthetic of Saliva’s #1 Modern Rock hit “Always,” and #2 Mainstream Rock hit “Your Disease", “Cope” was inspired by a mutual passion shared by both Bobby and Trevor to help people afflicted by addiction and personal demons.

 

Bobby Amaru, frontman of Saliva says, “Cope is about the quiet battles young people fight while trying to figure out who they are in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. It’s for every kid who feels too much, thinks too hard, and is just trying to make it through the noise. Having Trevor McNevan on this track was a blast and I feel that he really brought the song home.”

 

Trevor McNevan adds, “Cope is about losing control—and realizing you were never meant to have control in the first place. The song really illustrates the feeling of hitting the bottom and realizing the only way up is to surrender.”

 

“COPE” feat. Trevor McNevan is available now on all major streaming platforms!

In 2023, the band suffered the devastating loss of founding guitarist Wayne Swinny, whose legacy continues to shape their music and live shows. Reflecting on his passing, Amaru shared, “This band meant more to Wayne than music itself, and he wanted us to continue in its current form.” 

 

Most recently, Saliva released Revelation: Retold (2025) via Judge & Jury Records, a deluxe reimagining of their 2023 album featuring guest vocals, unreleased tracks, and new takes on fan favorites, reinforcing the band’s resilience and continued evolution.
