Savage Hands Bleed Honesty On Their Most Compelling Single Yet "It's Me"

Maryland's unflinching alt-metal catalysts, Savage Hands, are hitting their stride with this latest run of massive singles and their newest track, "It's Me", out now via Oxide Music. Without sacrificing an ounce of their metalcore bite, the band lean into a glossier, hook-driven sound on "It's Me" that doesn't shy away from a pop sensibility. Fans can listen to "It's Me" BELOW.

Touching on a devastation and the agony from knowing your own patterns well enough to fear them, "It's Me" traces the loop of addiction and avoidance while digging into the wreckage of self-destruction. Coming from the perspective of desperation to protect the person they love the most, Savage Hands turn the lens entirely inward, flinching to find the problem staring back at them in the mirror.

Additionally, this summer, Savage Hands will be embarking on The Art Of Love And Power Tour alongside Of Virtue for one of the most unmissable heavy tours of the year. The tour will see both bands trading headlining slots each night, giving fans two high caliber sets under one roof. Tickets are available for purchase HERE.

Speaking to the fear and honest woven into "It's Me", vocalist Mike Garrow shares:

"Coming from a family of divorce, I was forced to see failure with love at a young age. I think that’s where the trouble stems from and I wanted to capture that essence of being scared to try. A lot of people may experience a relationship when it’s going great and there’s only 2 ways to go from there…forever or it doesn’t work out. This is from that in-between point where you have to put 2 feet in or get out. Trying to trust in everything you’re afraid of while putting it all out there is really hard to do, but 100% necessary when you know you’ve found the one."

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, "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 Handscemented 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

Devil Metal Quartet NUNSLAUGHTER Releases New Album 'Satanic Chaos Legions' — Out Now via BLKIIBLK

Today, Cleveland’s unholy denizens of the underground, NUNSLAUGHTER, proudly unleash their new album, 'Satanic Chaos Legions,' out now via BLKIIBLK. To mark the occasion, the band also shares their new single, "Unsacrament," alongside an official music video.

On the new track, vocalist Don of the Dead comments:

"'Unsacrament' is a declaration of war from the grave. Dragging the rotting corpse of faith through the mire of humanity. Ready to be unbaptized with the flesh of a dying god. This is our anti-gospel."

Check Out the Official Video for "Unsacrament" Below:

A constant in extreme metal and an unyielding inspiration for generations of black metal and thrash provocateurs, NUNSLAUGHTER’s latest hymnal of brutality kicks off with a call to irreligious arms and doesn’t let go until the bloody end. Tracks like the grinding “Peukharist”or the uncompromising “Unsacrament” batter the senses like the bastard offspring of Slayerand 'Earth A.D.'-era Misfits, inverting crucifixes while worshipping at the hoof of the ibex.

Having already set fire to the international metal scene with festival appearances across the globe and a European tour on the way, make no mistake: NUNSLAUGHTER’s campaign of world-defilement is just beginning.

On the new album, Don of the Dead shares:

"With BLKIIBLK on our side, NUNSLAUGHTER can ram the black horn of Satan down the throats of every metalhead on the planet, spitting fresh venom and blistering hatred directly into the rotting face of Christianity with 'Satanic Chaos Legions.'"

Five Finger Death Punch Announce New Album "Legacy" + Release New Single "De Oppresso Liber"

Today, multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse Five Finger Death Punch announce their highly anticipated tenth studio album, Legacy. The digital version arrives July 31 pre-order here while the CD, vinyl, and cassette versions will land on September 18 — pre-order here.

"Every album is a snapshot of who we were at that particular moment in time, and Legacy is exactly what the title suggests," declares guitarist Zoltan Bathory. "It's a reflection on the journey, the lessons, the victories, the struggles, and everything we've experienced over the last two decades."

He furthers, "What makes that journey meaningful is that we didn't make it alone. We traveled this road alongside millions of fans around the world and somehow became part of each other's lives. That's an incredible thing to reflect on twenty years later."

Vocalist Ivan Moody continues, "At the same time, Legacy isn't about looking backward. 20 years is a milestone, not a destination. We're incredibly proud of this record because it captures everything people love about Five Finger Death Punch while also pointing toward where we're headed next."

He finishes, "Our philosophy has always been that this journey doesn't come with a self-imposed ceiling. Every goal we've reached simply revealed another horizon beyond it. We never believed the sky was the limit; if anything, it's where the true journey begins. Here's to our shared legacy."

The brand new song "De Oppresso Liber" is out now. Listen to the song and watch the video below:

"'De Oppresso Liber' is more than just a motto," states Bathory. "It's a calling. It's a philosophy. It represents a willingness to stand between danger and those who cannot defend themselves. Throughout human history, there have always been people who were drawn to accept that responsibility. This song is our way of paying respect to that mindset."

The first single from the album released just last month, "Eye Of The Storm," is already Top 5 at Rock Radio this week and has already generated over 3.9 million Spotify streams and 1.6 million YouTube views on the official lyric video. Revolverhailed it as "Huge," going on to praise how "it mixes a flurry of battering metal chugs with a sense of melody, plus Ivan Moody's pensive-but-barked lyrics hinting at fears, regrets, burdens, blame, and the search for some kind of inner peace." Loudwire raved: "The song is a driving, furious banger that kicks off what's expected to be a new album cycle in grand fashion."

This summer, Five Finger Death Punch, will embark on the 1st leg of the 20th Anniversary World Tour which will take them all across North America with special guest Cody Jinks, and Eva Under Fire before hitting arenas in the UK/EU with Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within in early 2027.

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is both a celebration and a statement, honoring the band's journey from their 2005 formation and release of their debut album, The Way Of The Fist, in 2007 to global arena headliners. The tour will showcase material from the new album, alongside classic anthems and #1 hits that defined the past two decades.

Produced by Live Nation, the 48-city North American tour kicks off on Monday, July 20 at Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, NJ, and wraps up in Bristow, VA at Jiffy Lube Live on Friday, October 23. 

In addition to celebrating two decades of music, the band is once again using its platform to give back. Long recognized as one of the most charitable bands in rock, Five Finger Death Punch has spent decades giving back to various causes, including U.S. military veterans and first responders and their families. In 2026, the band is continuing that tradition by supporting Team USA and aligning with the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Games being held on American soil in Los Angeles in 2028. As part of the tour's commitment to championing America's next generation of athletes, a portion of the ticket sales from the 2026 North American Tour will benefit high-performance programs for U.S. Olympic and Paralympic athletes as they prepare for international competition.

The band's most current albums, Best Of – Volume 1 and Best Of – Volume 2, feature newly re-recorded versions of Five Finger Death Punch's biggest hits and are available HERE.

Jenna Paulette Expands 'Back In The Saddle Tour' with 16 Additional Dates

After marking her return to touring in January 2026 with her Back In The Saddle Tour, Leo33 rising country artist Jenna Paulette is expanding her run with 16 new dates added through Fall 2026.
 
“I am so excited to continue this tour this year and for the band and I to perform at some bucket list Honky Tonks,” an enthusiastic Paulette shares. “I love getting to meet so many people that also love country music and hearing which songs of mine they relate to most and making sure we work them into the set. There’s something so special about this time musically and when we’re playing live for you all, and I can’t wait to see you at a show.” 
 
Kicking off on June 26 at Coupland Dancehall in Coupland, Texas, the tour includes stops at the legendary Grand Ole Opry, Gruene Hall, Schoepf’s BBQ and more. 
 
The Back In The Saddle Tour was aptly named to mark Paulette’s return to the road, after spending 2025 navigating the ropes as a new mom. “At the end of 2025, I finally felt like I was finding my footing again after becoming a mom and getting through the first year of parenthood,” Paulette shared earlier this year. “A lot of last year was spent figuring out how to get back in the saddle in every area of my life. I can’t wait to be on the road again and a lot more in 2026.”
 
After releasing her 20-track Horseback (Deluxe) album earlier this year, Paulette continues to tease new music, most recently releasing “High Noon,” which she debuted live at “The Academy of Country Music Presents: Whiskey Jam Welcome Party” in May in Las Vegas ahead of the 61st ACM Awards. 
 
“High Noon” arrived on the heels of Paulette earning her first No. 1 at Texas radio with “Steady” – which she credits her husband, Ross, for inspiring. Together, when she’s not on tour, they ranch in south west Texas.

About Jenna Paulette:
A CMT Next Women of Country honoree and an Apple Music’s Country Riser, singer-songwriter Jenna Paulette – a cowgirl who came of age amid the gritty realities of ranch life – is part of Nashville’s growing wave of female artists who are rewriting the rules and charting their own paths. Paulette settled in Nashville in 2015, where she struck up a mentorship with Ashley Gorley – a veteran songwriter with 80+ No. 1 tunes under his belt – which ultimately led to her publishing deal with Sea Gayle Music in June 2021. Since collaborating with songwriters Will Bundy, Rhett Akins, and Jessie Jo Dillion, as well as opening for Mason Ramsey, Parmalee, John Michael Montgomery, Clay Walker, and most recently Aaron Watson, Paulette has landed brand partnerships with Justin Boots, Boot Barn, Ely Cattleman and Ranch Water.
 
With the arrival of her debut album The Girl I Was in 2023, Grammy.com remarked the project as “transformative,” noting it “fuses the sounds of [Shania] Twain and Miranda Lambert, tackling mental health with the somber ‘You Ain’t No Cowboy’ and waxing philosophical on ‘Country In The Girl.’” She continued to spotlight her authentic Western lifestyle with the launch of her Cowboygirl line with Ely Cattleman and her Sunrise and Sunset boot line with Boot Barn. Paulette signed with independent label Leo33 in 2024. Her 20-track Horseback (Deluxe) album is available now. For more information, visit www.jennapaulette.com.

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

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

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

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

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

Sorry X is an emerging force from Phoenix, Arizona, led by vocalist and songwriter Alexa Graves. In a remarkably short time, the project has amassed more than 18 million independent streams and over 4 million views across TikTok and Instagram, building a rapidly growing audience through authentic storytelling and a fresh perspective on modern rock music.

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

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

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

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

LUTHER Sign To Long Branch Records + Drop "Giving The People What They Want" Video

Following their recent performance at Rock For People (CZ) and after opening for bands such as Escuela Grind, Silly Goose, Urne, and Predatory Void, Berlin-based alternative metal up-and-comers LUTHER sign to Long Branch Records and drop their label debut single "Giving The People What They Want."

LUTHER's take on alternative metal is groovy, heavy, and even a little weird. Centered around electric guitar, their songs merge prog metal, nu metal, and hardcore. Borderline-theatrical screams and clean vocals hold your hand through the night. The band explores isolation, betrayal, rage, and escapism as its core lyrical themes. LUTHER have drawn comparisons to artists such as KORN, POPPY, and KIM DRACULA, resonating with fans of genre-bending alternative metal.

"Giving The People What They Want" is an alternative metal track with strong nu metal influences in the verses, progressive guitar layering in the choruses accompanied by hardcore-style vocals, and pre-choruses built around deathcore-like breakdowns. It perfectly captures LUTHER's vision of metal music: The embrace of metal's archetypes to create something exciting, dynamic, maybe a little weird, but definitely never boring.

"I'll give the people what they want!" shouted just before a drop, encapsulates the lyrical meaning of the track. If life dooms you to constant rejection, endless challenges, and unfair circumstances, find self-realization in romanticizing and dramatizing your role as an entertainer. You might even discover that you’re the best at it!

Stream the single here.

Watch the video for "Giving The People What They Want" below.

The single's production, mixing, and mastering were handled by Enrico Tiberi, current vocalist of The Ocean Collective.

LUTHER were founded at the end of 2024 by musicians who already had a history in Berlin's underground metal and alternative scene. In 2025, the band debuted with its first single, "Next Time Send a Killer," a song that generated unexpected organic engagement across social media and streaming platforms.

The band just played Rock for People 2026 in the Czech Republic, was announced for Reeperbahn Festival 2026, and was recently invited to a double-set show in Quebec City, Canada, for the Envol et Macadam Festival, headlined by Bad Religion and Hatebreed.
 
LUTHER’s upcoming debut album is rumored to draw influence from bands such as KORN; LOATHE, GRAYHAVEN, THE MARS VOLTA, and SYSTEM OF A DOWN. Stay tuned if that's your thing.

LUTHER LIVE:
07/03 — Berlin, DE — Rocktreff Festival
08/14 — Brandenburg, DE — Beer’n’Breakdowns Festival
09/05 — Hamburg, DE — Local Core Festival
09/10–09/12 — Quebec City, QC — Envol et Macadam Festival (headlined by Bad Religion and Hatebreed)
09/18 — Hamburg, DE — Reeperbahn Festival
10/26 — Berlin, DE — Female Fronted Is Not a Genre Festival

Dogma Unleash Cinematic New Single - My Matricidal

Following a breakout year that saw DOGMA sell out every European headlining show, complete its largest Latin American tour to date, and continue its rapid international ascent, the band returns today with “My Matricidal,” the highly anticipated new single and music video. 

"My Matricidal" is a theatrical collision of aggressive guitars, ritualistic percussion, haunting cinematic soundscape, soaring vocal performances, and a relentless series of sonic blows that steadily escalate toward a towering climax. The result is a dark, emotionally charged composition that expands the band's signature blend of hard rock, metal, and provocative storytelling.

Accompanying the single is an ambitious new music video that expands the narrative introduced in “Fate Unblinds,” revealing another key piece of the puzzle while raising new questions about everything that came before.

Regarding the new release, Lilith comments, "The themes explored in ‘My Matricidal’ are not really about betrayal. They are about recognition. There comes a moment in every person's life when something they believed, trusted, or accepted can no longer withstand reality. Most people spend their energy focusing on the deception itself, but I think the more important question is what happens after the truth becomes impossible to ignore. Some people retreat into anger or denial. Others choose to learn from it and move forward with greater clarity. That moment of choice has always fascinated me because it ultimately shapes the direction of a person's life. The truth reveals itself in time. What you do with it is your responsibility. You shape your fate."

The release arrives at a pivotal moment in DOGMA's continued growth. During the first half of 2026, the band completed its largest European and Latin American touring cycle to date, performing for thousands of fans across both continents. Every European headlining show sold out, including appearances in London, Manchester, Wolverhampton, Bristol, Eindhoven, Hamburg, and Munich.

The momentum continues this summer as DOGMA returns to Europe for appearances at major festivals including Copenhell, Basinfire, Tuska, Rockharz, Rock Imperium, and Resurrection Fest, alongside a special headlining performance in Istanbul.

With the release of “My Matricidal,” DOGMA maintains a single position: The truth reveals itself in time.

Upcoming festival dates:

Jun 29: Istanbul, Türkiye · Blind
Jul 2: Ballenstedt, Germany - Rockharz Festival

SKILLET ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE "SCREAM" + FALL 2026 HEADLINE TOUR

23x-platinum rock band SKILLET have announced their explosive new single, "Scream," arriving July 10, alongside the launch of their upcoming "Comatose: 20 Years, Still Screaming Tour," a major fall headline run produced by Live Nation.

The new track serves as the first taste of a new era of music from the band, with additional releases expected later this year. Fans can pre-save "Scream" HERE. 

The announcement follows a monumental start to the year for SKILLET. Their 6x-platinum anthem "Monster" recently surpassed 4 billion global streams, earned a place in Spotify's Billions Club, and solidified its status as one of the most-streamed rock songs of all time. The achievement is particularly historic as "Monster" remains the only song by a Christian artist to surpass 1 billion streams on Spotify. The milestone arrives on the heels of the band's completely sold-out European headline tour, which moved more than 90,000 tickets across 23 cities, bringing SKILLET in front of the largest international audiences of their career.

For the new music, the band returned to familiar ground. "We went back to Memphis and worked with a producer who knew the band before we'd made our first record," says frontmanJohn Cooper. "Life has taken some great turns, but it's also taken some painful turns. Now we're here, and we still have more of a story to tell. The music kept getting heavier, and I said, 'We've got to go all-in.'"

They certainly did with "Scream." Clean electric guitar slips into the undertow of crushing distortion as Cooper delivers a catchy and cathartic chorus:"I wanna scream. I wanna break something beautiful."Ominous keys ring out, the beat snaps, and he wonders, "Will I ever be enough?" before a palm-muted bridge unleashes one final burst of emotion punctuated by glitchy electronics.

"I don't think I'm the only one who's noticing the volatility of the world and how social media is a cesspool where people are constantly yelling at each other," Cooper explains. "It's not helping anyone's mental health. In this landscape, it's easy to feel like nothing matters. "Scream" is about wanting your life to matter when the world feels chaotic and overwhelming."

GLORYHAMMER Announce New Album!

The enemies of Dundee tremble as exalted power metal heroes GLORYHAMMER announce their long-awaited fifth album, Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath! Due for release on October 16, via Napalm Records, the album is a direct sequel to 2015's Space 1992: Rise of the Chaos Wizards, continuing the epic saga of the McFife dynasty. Space 1993: Wrath of Kor-Virliath follows Angus McFife V, the Crown Prince of Fife last seen in 2022's single "Fly Away," as he ventures into a perilous journey across spacetime that will lead him to the distant future of 1993, where his destiny lies.

Across 11 tracks, the band of heroes draws upon a more diverse range of influences than ever before, without ever compromising on the hook-driven, memorable songwriting that they are known for. From classic power metal to thrash, high energy synth rock to vast, sweeping orchestral soundscapes and more. Produced by the band themselves and mixed by Jacob Hansen (Volbeat, Amaranthe), this is GLORYHAMMER as you've never heard them before.

GLORYHAMMER about the new album: "Mighty warriors, rejoice! The almighty GLORYHAMMER return triumphantly with a new chapter in the long and tumultuous history of the Intergalactic Empire of Fife. Multidimensional wormholes, abandoned space stations, and EPIC BATTLES await at the final frontier of Space 1993. FOR THE ETERNAL GLORY OF DUNDEE!"

THE ETERNAL Release Video For New Single "Existing To Expire"

Australian/Finnish dark progressive gothic metal collective THE ETERNAL have unveiled a brand-new video for their latest single, "Existing To Expire." The song is the second track to be released from the band's highly anticipated eighth full-length studio album, Obscured Horizons, which will be released worldwide on September 18 via Reigning Phoenix Music.

Following the acclaimed first single, "Lament For The Hollow," "Existing To Expire" offers another powerful glimpse into what is shaping up to be THE ETERNAL's most immersive and definitive work to date. Expanding on the emotional weight, cinematic scope and haunting atmosphere that have become hallmarks of the band's sound, the new single further reveals the depth and ambition of Obscured Horizons.

The album is available for pre-order starting today: https://theeternal.rpm.link/horizonsPR

About the new single, Mark Kelson reveals:
"Existing to Expire explores that moment where you confront the weight of your own disillusionment—when truth and illusion blur to the point that you feel stripped of clarity and left in the dirt. For me, it’s about reclaiming agency after that collapse. There’s a strong sense of breaking free from passivity, which speaks to an internal turning point, a refusal to simply exist in a state of decay. In that sense, ‘existing to expire’ isn’t just about mortality, it’s about recognising a cycle of stagnation and choosing to rise from it, even when identity itself feels like it’s dissolving.”

Stream "Existing To Expire": https://theeternal.rpm.link/existingPR

Watch the new video Below:

Following the widespread acclaim of their 2024 full-length Skinwalker and the evocative companion EP Celestial, THE ETERNAL return with Obscured Horizons, an album that stands as both culmination and evolution. 

Where Skinwalker was hailed for its emotional weight, cinematic scope and seamless fusion of melancholic atmosphere with crushing heaviness, and Celestial further expanded the band's sonic palette with its introspective depth and dynamic intensity, Obscured Horizons pushes even further into uncharted territory. The album refines THE ETERNAL's signature blend of doom-laden textures, progressive sophistication and haunting melodic resonance, while embracing a broader, more expansive sound that feels both intimate and monumental.

At its core, Obscured Horizons is an exploration of disillusionment, fractured identity and the struggle to reclaim clarity in a world saturated with distortion. The album moves through states of emotional collapse, liminal transition and existential unrest, confronting deception, both external and internal, before emerging into renewal and self-awareness. Rather than surrendering to decay, Obscured Horizons charts a defiant ascent, refusing numbness, rejecting illusion and ultimately reclaiming light from the shadows that threaten to eclipse it.

With Mark Kelson (vocals/guitars) and Richie Poate (guitars) in Melbourne, alongside Niclas Etelävuori (bass; ex-Amorphis/Flat Earth) and Jan Rechberger (drums; Amorphis) in Helsinki, THE ETERNAL remain a truly international collaboration, unified across continents yet bound by a singular artistic vision.

Their sound continues to resonate with listeners drawn to the emotional gravity of dark metal while carving a path distinctly their own. As they enter a new creative chapter with their gaze fixed firmly on the unseen, Obscured Horizons represents a bold statement from a band continuing to evolve while remaining true to its artistic identity.

THE ETERNAL Australian Live Dates, with AMORPHIS:
September 23, 2026 The Croxton Bandroom, Thornbury, VIC
September 24, 2026 The Triffid, Newstead, QLD
September 25, 2026 Liberty Hall, Moore Park, NSW

Pretty Pity Chase The Rush On Addictive New Single "IDK (idk)"!

Sun-soaked pop rock chameleons, Pretty Pity, return today with their latest single, "IDK (idk)", a high-energy, emotionally charged anthem that explodes into a chorus built for thousands to scream back. With a sound that continues to blur the lines between pop, punk, and metal, "IDK (idk)" showcases the band's ability to make the messy and magnetic feel like one and the same. Listen to "IDK (idk)" BELOW.

Blending punchy pop-rock hooks with a darker undercurrent of tension and vulnerability, Pretty Pitydive headfirst through the chaos of craving connection while resisting anything real. Fueled by gritty guitars and an undeniable melodic pull, "IDK (idk)" leans into late-night decisions, blurred boundaries, and the addictive cycle of wanting more without knowing why.

In the midst of a breakout year for the band, vocalist Tani Jade shares:

"Our new single, IDK (idk), is an anthem for those who fear commitment and only find comfort in validation from others. I wrote these lyrics about being in a self destructive phase where instant gratification takes over; getting lost in the moment and craving the feeling of being wanted by everyone around you, yet fearing they’ll change their minds if they dug any deeper.

This summer we'll be playing the biggest shows of our career and our first major festival, Summerfest in Milwaukee on July 2nd. We’re so excited to share the stage with bands like All Time Low, Kenny Hoopla, and Girlfriends at the event, it’s truly a dream come true. 

We’re kicking off our run to Summerfest by joining the Summer School Tour w/ Honey Revenge, Winona Fighter, and South Arcade at House Of Blues in Orlando on June 26th. We also just announced dates around the festival AND we’ll be out supporting Royale Lynn in August! We are beyond grateful for the growing fanbase that has pushed us to grow as artists and set higher goals with every tour and release."

Quickly becoming a name to know, Pretty Pity has been turning heads with a sound that borrows from metal, punk, and classic rock all while landing as an unbelievably catchy pop record. Hot off the heels of their addition to Orlando's Summer School date alongside Honey Revenge and South Arcade, Pretty Pity's Road 2 Summerfest will also lead them into a direct support slot with Royale Lynn in August. For a band on the rise, Pretty Pity has certainly put together one hell of a summer.

Stay tuned for more news from Pretty Pity very soon.

BEHEMOTH UNLEASH NEW SINGLE & VIDEO 'I, SCVLPTOR'

Polish extreme metal legends, BEHEMOTH, unleash 'I, Scvlptor', the first single from their new studio release, I, Scvlptor. The music video was produced by the acclaimed Polish production collective Grupa 13, while the cover artwork and design were created by long-time Behemoth collaborator Bartek Rogalewicz /LODGE.BLACK.
 
Listen to 'I, Scvlptor' digitally via Nuclear Blast: 
https://behemoth.bfan.link/i-scvlptor

Pre-order the physical release of I, Scvlptor:

Massacre Records: 
www.iscvlptor.com

Behemoth Webstore: 
https://behemoth-store.com/en-ea/collections/i-scvlptor

Watch the music video for 'I, Scvlptor' Below:

Nergal commented on the new single:
 
“'I, Scvlptor' is a new Behemoth song rooted in the tradition of monumental tracks like 'O Father O Satan O Sun!', 'Lucifer' or 'Nieboga Czarny Xiądz', while at the same time opening a new chapter. It carries that epic weight but also takes an unexpected turn that makes it feel fresh and different from the previous pieces. Lyrically, it is a metaphor for the endless process of shaping oneself - an uneven struggle with matter and personal limitations. The paradox is that from the moment we are born we are already destined to die, so perhaps it is not about victory itself, but about the constant act of sculpting who we are”.
 
'I, Scvlptor', which will be out 04 September 2026, is an exclusive release featuring eight previously unreleased songs - seven new studio recordings and one live track. It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band's foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth's live energy and intensity. Two tracks - 'Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil' (from The Return of the Northern Moon, 1992) and 'In Thy Pandemaeternum' (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) - are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth - 'In League With Satan' (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and 'The Return of Darkness and Evil' (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ). Available on CD, LP, MC and Limited-Edition Box Set through Massacre Records worldwide and digitally via Nuclear Blast Records.

Nergal commented:
 
“We’re fucking excited about the release of I, Scvlptor. Even though it’s not a regular studio album and is, in fact, more of a compilation, the mere fact that it contains songs nobody has ever heard before makes it a significant release for us. What’s more, some of these tracks are likely a little different from what we offered on our last album, The Shit Ov God. That’s why we see I,Scvlptor as an important record — a connecting piece, a bridge between where we are now and whatever may come next in the distant future.”

In October 2026, two of the most influential forces in extreme metal join together for a monumental tour: Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir will embark on the “In League with Satan” co-headline tour (with special guests, Dark Funeral), storming across Europe and the UK. Details below:

Black Metal Kings DARK FUNERAL Announce New Live Album 'A Beast To Praise' Set for Release on August 21st via Century Media

The Swedish kings of black metal, DARK FUNERAL, proudly announce their long-awaited new live album, 'A Beast To Praise,' set for worldwide release via Century Media on August 21, 2026.

Recorded at Fållan in Stockholm in 2022, 'A Beast To Praise' captures DARK FUNERAL's devastating live performance in support of their acclaimed album 'We Are The Apocalypse.'Spanning 13 tracks and nearly 70 minutes, the release showcases the band's relentless stage presence while celebrating an album that entered the charts across Europe upon it's 2022 release, including #6 in Germany, #13 in Finland, #28 in Switzerland, #29 in Austria, and #31 in Sweden.

The first preview of the upcoming live release arrives today in the form of the single and live video for "The Arrival Of Satan's Empire," which can be viewed below.

Watch the Live Video for "The Arrival of Satan's Empire" Below:

DARK FUNERAL’s Lord Ahriman comments on ‘A Beast To Praise’:

“‘A Beast To Praise’ (Live at Fållan, Stockholm) captures a very important moment in the history of DARK FUNERAL — not only the live release ritual for ‘We Are The Apocalypse,’but also our return to the stage after years of silence during the pandemic. That night at Fållan was intense in every possible way. The energy in the room, the fire, the audience and the atmosphere all came together into something far beyond an ordinary concert. This release is the immortal document of that night. With the release of this live album and the upcoming European touring cycle in the fall of 2026, we now close the chapter surrounding ‘We Are The Apocalypse.’ At the same time, we are already deeply focused on the next era of DARK FUNERAL and hard at work creating new material for what will become our next studio album, planned for release in 2027. And as one chapter closes, a new one is already taking shape — bigger, darker and more epic than ever before...”

SAVE US to Release "Death To Something" on 10/16; Band Shares Video for Title Track

Transcontinental trio SAVE US — Miguel Owls [vocals], Chris Biddiscombe[guitar], and Benji Havercroft [drums] — will release their new album Death To Something on October 16 via Solid State Records. Pre-order the album, produced by Landon Tewers, here.

The band shares the video for the title track. Watch it Below.

"'Death To Something' was the last song we wrote with Landon, and it ended up giving the record its name. Lyrically, it was inspired by my newborn son," says Owls. "The message is simple but powerful: Sometimes there has to be a death to your old life in order to build a better one for the people you love. On this track, I dive into the struggles and hardships of my past, and how I had to finally cut the ties that kept weighing me down. It's raw, personal, and honestly one of the most meaningful songs I've ever written."

The origin story of SAVE us and how the globally-based band came together is quite simple. Back in 2023, Owls was regularly posting covers on social media and quietly cultivating a following online. Hailing from the Central Valley of California, he never expected to find his future bandmates in his DMs. Bristol, UK-based Biddiscombe stumbled upon one of the vocalist's Architects covers and sent a message on TikTok. Clicking right away, they commenced creating music (despite over 5,000 miles between them). Due to a factory day job from 1pm-9:30pm, Owls typically woke up at 5am in order to write with Chris and Benji before work. Prior to meeting in-person, the trio had remotely recorded a few tracks. Eventually, the singer crossed the pond to shoot the visual for "Distance" from their LUCID EP. Reacting with listeners, the track clocked north of 2.6 million Spotify streams. The group maintained their momentum with 2024's EXIST EP. A year later, they inked a deal with Solid State and decamped to Michigan where they recorded with sought-after producer and The Plot In You mastermind Landon Tewers.

Ultimately, the band's name reflects their shared experience.

"Chris and Benji were both ready to stop doing music," Owls reveals. "I was in the same boat. We were all on the edge of letting our dreams go. Out of nowhere, we found each other, went all the way in together, and the band genuinely saved us. We're always dabbling in emotion, so our goal is to reach you on a human level."

Mission accomplished on Death To Something, which in all actuality, brought the band members back to life.

Iconic Hard Rockers NIGHT RANGER Unveil Newly Remastered Single "(You Can Still) Rock in America (2026)" + Visualizer

Today, hard rock legends NIGHT RANGER are proud to unveil their newly remastered version of their 1983 single, "(You Can Still) Rock in America (2026)," taken from their upcoming‘Best Of’ album, set for release on August 28th via Frontiers Music Srl. The new single arrives alongside an official video, available below.

'Best Of' features newly remixed & remastered versions of classic hits spanning NIGHT RANGER’s illustrious career, alongside some standout tracks from the band’s more recent releases. The album will be released on both CD and Vinyl. The double LP is available in 3 different colors: black, gold, & orange splatter.

"The new 'Best Of' is a celebration of not only our classic hits but also what we’ve created over the last 20 years. And we’re just gonna keep cranking it cause we’re having too much fun to stop! So enjoy the ride and see ya on the road!” – Jack Blades

Watch the Visualizer for "(You Can Still) Rock in America (2026)" Below:

Few bands have defined the sound of American melodic rock quite like NIGHT RANGER. From the soaring anthem of “Sister Christian” to the thunderous riffs of “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me," and fan favorites like “You Can Still) Rock in America” this album’s ‘Best Of’ collection captures the very essence of their decades-long career — now refreshed for 2026.

Featuring the classic hits alongside standout tracks from their more recent albums, this compilation spans the full spectrum of NIGHT RANGER’s signature sound: anthemic choruses, blazing guitar solos, and unforgettable melodies. Highlights include the power-pop perfection of “(You Can Still) Rock in America,” the heartfelt balladry of “When You Close Your Eyes,” and the cinematic sweep of “Four in the Morning.”

But the ‘Best Of’ is not just a look back. It also celebrates the band’s creative output over the last 20 years, spotlighting tracks like “Time of Our Lives,” “High Road,” “No Time to Lose,” “Somehow Someway,” and “Truth,” proving that NIGHT RANGER’s energy, songwriting, and musicianship have only grown stronger with time. These songs show that the band continues to innovate while staying true to the melodic rock roots that made them legendary.

The band — Jack Blades (bass and vocals), Kelly Keagy (drums and vocals), Brad Gillis(guitars), Eric Levy (keyboards), and Keri Kelli (guitars) — delivers every track with the energy and precision that have kept NIGHT RANGER at the forefront of rock for more than four decades.

This ‘Best Of” album also features two bonus tracks that make this collection of songs truly special: a fresh take on “Wasted Time” recorded live off the floor at Sweetwater Studios, also accompanied by an exclusive music video, and a festive live performance of “Feliz Navidad” that showcases the band’s playful side.

Perfectly timed ahead of their summer 2026 tour, this ‘Best Of’ album serves as both a definitive introduction for new fans and a must-have collection for longtime followers. Whether revisiting the classics or discovering the new 2026 remasters, NIGHT RANGER’s ‘Best Of’ is a celebration of enduring melodies, electrifying performances, and the unforgettable spirit of one of rock’s most iconic bands.

Sleep Theory Share Video for Their Cover of *NSYNC's "Bye Bye Bye," A Staple of Their Live Shows

Rare is the band that can go No. 1 at Rock Radio and turn around and cover *NSYNC and make it their own.

But SLEEP THEORY — vocalist Cullen Moore, guitarist Daniel Pruitt, bassistPaolo Vergara, and drummer Ben Pruitt — are hardly any other rock band!

With catalog streams at 875 million to date on the back of one album and one EP, Sleep Theory are here to stay... all the while crooning "Bye Bye Bye."

The breakout four-piece has today dropped the video for its flawlessly executed cover of *NSYNC's beloved, '00s pop classic "Bye Bye Bye."

Watch it Below:

Sleep Theory's version is a fan favorite and a staple of the band's live set. Their re-imagining always has heads nodding and bodies dancing at their shows — ultimately, their take on "Bye Bye Bye" is a sharp showcase for a band with a knack for turning something instantly familiar into something fresh. It proves that big hooks and alt-rock muscle can and do coexist. Sleep Theory have continually defied the boundaries of rock and metal by incorporating R&B and pop chops into their original songs and with their choice of covers.

Sleep Theory are coming off their third No. 1 at Rock Radio, a Best New Rock Artist win at the iHeart Radio Awards, a sold-out debut European headline tour, and two sold-out North American headline runs after issuing their debut album, Afterglow, produced by David Cowell and mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Bad Omens, Architects), last spring.

Motionless In White Share Video for "R.I.P." (Feat. Skylar Grey)

Platinum-selling, Scranton, PA powerhouse MOTIONLESS IN WHITE will release their new album DECADES  July 17 via Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here.

Today, the band shares thew new song "R.I.P." (Feat. Skylar Grey).

Watch the video Below. 

The video was directed by Jensen Noen, who also lensed the "Werewolf" and "Sign Of Life" videos.

The track evokes the power of a lover's lament inscribed on a headstone. Piano twinkles through the haze of funereal synths, where the dual male-femal vocals entwine on an epic chorus boosted by soaring harmonies. It's everything you want, love, and expect from Motioneless In White.

"Skylar's voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own," says singer Chris Motionless. "I really love the lyrics for this song. Even though I wrote it through a romantic lens, I love that it can be applied to any moment in your life when you've had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that's a best friend, family member, or romantic partner."

He continues, "The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you've said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It's meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. You want to apologize and make things right, but you don't know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can't live without them, but there's a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you're left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it's destined to be laid to rest and gone forever."

Motionless In White have also announced the second leg of The Sweat and Blood Tour. Dayseeker will serve as direct support. The Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine will also appear. This leg fittingly kicks off the night before Halloween in Worcester and runs through November 20 in Pittsburgh. 

All tickets are available here.

Decades features several high-profile and eclectic guest appearances. In addition to Taylor, Sklyar Grey, and Dark Divine's Anthony Martinez also feature on the album. The band recorded Decades in Upstate New York and Los Angeles with co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin "JD" deBlieck and ultimately incorporated their past, present, and future sounds into one cohesive sound. This is Motionless at their very best.

"We were never afraid to take risks," observes Chris. "This band has not only lasted two decades, but we've also outlasted all of the obstacles we've faced. We're still grinding. No matter how far we expand the universe that is Motionless In White, we're going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from. We are never going to abandon heartfelt, emotional, and heavy songs. We are never going to abandon what mattered to us the most when we started. We're finding new ways to emphasize those stories with exciting sounds and looks, but the vision is the same. It's always been this grand, dramatic, and theatrical entity. I'm proud we haven't gotten comfortable."

He finishes, "Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance."

WEDNESDAY 13 Unveils Video fo New Single "Look What The Bats Dragged In" (Un-Alive from Pol'and'Rock 2025)

Today, dread rock superstar WEDNESDAY 13 gives us the first taste of his forthcoming triumphant live album, Un-Alive from Pol'and'Rock 2025 out September 25 via Napalm Records. Kicking things off with a particularly raucous live rendition of the Transylvania 90210 classic, "Look What The Bats Dragged In," they sound as incendiary as ever. The roaring crowds are inescapable, as Weds and co. barrel through this high octane ripper with devilish delight. 

WEDNESDAY comments  "Look What The Bats Dragged In":
"Oh my God, look at what the bats dragged in. There's no better way to start a WEDNESDAY 13 show than with this graveyard banger. The Poison parody title is still admired to this day. 'Look What The Bats Dragged In' was the first track from the first WEDNESDAY 13 album, it's fast, furious, and never fails to get the audience in a frenzy. This track sets the pace for the whole live album."

Check Out The Official Music Video for "Look What The Bats Dragged In" Below:
