SINNER Release First Single "Wait" From Final Studio Album Boom Bang Goodbye

German hard rock legend SINNER present the energized new single "Wait" alongside a music video. This is the first single to land from the band's forthcoming, and final, full-length studio offering, Boom Bang Goodbye. The album will arrive on July 31, 2026, via RPM. For over four decades SINNER have delivered massive hooks, powerful guitars, emotional depth and pure hard rock energy with an uplifting sound, and "Wait" is no different. 

On the new single "Wait", Mat Sinner shares:
“For the first song from the album, I wanted a positive good-time track that simply puts people in a good mood. The political madness we’re living through doesn’t need another depressing soundtrack. ‘Wait’ is also a very representative song for the entire album. Working with Michael Bormann again after 10 years immediately clicked — the chemistry was there right away. And just like on the whole album, there’s an unbelievably great performance from drummer Moritz Müller and my partner Alex Scholpp, plus the absolutely brilliant mix by my friend Jacob Hansen. Mat was 100% happy!”

The video for "Wait" also captures the song’s positive energy, welcoming the summer with ease, optimism and feel-good vibes.

With Boom Bang Goodbye, SINNER enter the final chapter of an extraordinary career. Since 1982, the band led by Mat Sinner has been one of the most consistent forces in the German hard rock and metal scene. Following 19 studio albums, international tours and most recently the successful album Brotherhood, the band is set to end on a high note.

For this final statement, Mat Sinner has once again gathered an epic lineup of longtime companions and high-profile guests. Alex Scholpp (guitar) and Moritz Müller (drums) provide the album’s powerful foundation, joined by Jim Müller of KISSIN’ DYNAMITE, Lisa Müller, and former SINNER bandmate Mathias Dieth, who performed on the influential early albums Comin’ Out Fighting and Dangerous Charm. Another renowned guitarist on board is Magnus Karlsson — closely connected to Mat Sinner through the PRIMAL FEAR camp — who contributes vocals on Boom Bang Goodbye.

All-star appearances on Boom Bang Goodbye continue with vocal performances from Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW), Michael Bormann, Michael Sadler (SAGA), Björn Strid (SOILWORK), Erik Mårtensson (ECLIPSE), Renan Zonta and Sascha Krebs. Each guest brings their own distinctive touch to the track list, making the album an impressive gathering of international hard rock and metal greats.

Mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark, the album combines modern heaviness with classic SINNER DNA. Every song bears the unmistakable signature of Mat Sinner as a musician, songwriter and personality who has helped shape the European metal scene for decades.
Boom Bang Goodbye will be released on July 31, 2026. The first single, "Wait", is available now on all platforms.

“Don’t wait – pre-order, press play, repeat.”

IWAN Ignites with the Release of Two Singles — “WAIT” AND “WARRIORS” — Unleashing Emotion, Power, and Purpose

Rising from the heart of the modern rock revolution, IWAN have arrived with not one, but two thunderous statements of intent. Their brand-new singles — “Wait” and “Warriors” — mark a bold step forward in the IWAN's sonic evolution, blending anthemic power with raw emotion, and proving once again that rock’s heartbeat is alive and roaring.

"Warriors" is a battle cry for the broken yet unyielding. With searing vocals and a relentless groove, the track delivers a message of defiance and survival in a world that often tries to silence individual power.

"Wait" takes a more introspective turn-digging into the emotional wreckage of a toxic breakup and the spiritual warfare that comes with healing from it. Both songs showcase IWAN's signature sound: a visceral mix of heavy guitars, haunting melodies, and lyrical vulnerability.

"IWAN isn't just a new artist-she's a force," says producer Tamas Vajda, who helped bring her vision to life at Savaria Studios in Brooklyn, NY. "She's got the story, the voice, and the fire. You don't hear it-you *feel* it."

With early support and growing attention on platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube, IWAN is quickly becoming one of the most compelling new voices in modern rock. Fans have responded to her authenticity, visual intensity, and fearless voice with emotional clarity-qualities that set her apart in

a crowded field.

Her journey-from law enforcement to the frontlines of music-is as bold and unapologetic as her sound. And with more releases lined up in the coming months, IWAN is just getting started.

Both tracks showcase IWAN’s dynamic range and fearless songwriting — two sides of the same coin that define who they are: passionate, powerful, and unapologetically real.

Listen to IWAN now on Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and all major platforms.

LISTEN TO IWAN

BIO:

A former NYPD officer turned powerhouse vocalist, IWAN isn’t just another name in rock—she’s a movement. Her journey has been one of solitude and resilience, of standing alone but never backing down. That relentless fire fuels her music, turning raw emotion into anthems that cut deep and refuse to be ignored.

Drawing inspiration from icons like Scott Stappand Creed, IWAN blends the grit of classic rock with the intensity of alternative, channeling struggle into strength. Her songs don’t just play; they ignite. With searing riffs, haunting vocals, and lyrics that hit like a gut punch, she crafts a sound that’s both defiant and deeply human.

Her music is a battle cry for the fighters, the outsiders, and those who refuse to break. Somewhere between Joan Jett’s rebellion and Mad Max’s recklessness, IWAN is both force and fury—polished yet raw,

powerful yet unfiltered.

Set for a 2025 launch, she isn’t just stepping onto the scene—she’s commanding it. With a fan base craving realness and a no-BS attitude, she’s here to leave a mark.

“I want to be remembered,” she says. “I want someone to say my music helped

them through.”

IWAN: Remember the name. You won’t forget the music.

We Are In Transit (WAIT) Release New Single "I Climb Downhill" - Debut Album 'The End of Noise' out February 11, 2022

Baltimore tech-metal outfit WAIT (We Are In Transit) have released a new single from their upcoming debut album. The new track, titled "I Climb Downhill", is out today and accompanied by a visualizer.

WAIT first took shape when guitarist Charlie Eron partnered with Max Phelps (of Cynic and Defeated Sanity fame). The band released their self-titled EP in 2019, with bassistAlex Weber and drummer Anup Sastry rounding out the lineup at this point.

The debut studio album from WAIT, 'The End of Noise', will see a February 11th, 2022release via The Artisan Era!

Speaking on the new album, the members of WAIT comment:

"'The End of Noise' is a synonym for the stillness of the mind when one is either in a deep meditative state, asleep, or dead. "Noise" refers to the mental static one hears and feels resulting from a neverending barrage of stimuli. In the process of writing 'The End of Noise', Charlie turned 30, and the typical existential crisis that occurs at that stage in life influenced the dramatic nature of the writing and lyrical content. While the previous EP could be described as esoteric and under-the-skin deep, 'The End of Noise' aims to conceptually drill to the very core of the Earth."

Pre-Order 'The End of Noise' HERE

About WAIT:

WAIT was formed circa 2016 by guitarist Charlie Eron and vocalist/guitarist Max Phelps (Exist, Cynic, Defeated Sanity, Death To All). With the addition of bassist Alex Weber (Exist, Malignancy, Svengahli, Ex-Sabbath Assembly, ex-Jeff Loomis), the trio released their debut EP "We Are in Transit" in 2019 with drums by Anup Sastry. WAIT's music is about the process of living, and how time is starkly linear and unrecoverable. Their debut full-length record, "The End of Noise", is about the inner mercilessness of everyday existence.
