  • Ice Nine Kills Premiere “Play Dead” Music Video

    Ice Nine Kills have partnered with the video game “Dead By Daylight” for a new song titled “Play Dead.” A video for the track featuring Devon Sawa (“Final Destination”, “Chucky”), pro-skater Tony Hawk, and actress/musician Krsy Fox (Knee High Fox) can be found below. Notably, cosmetics inspired by the band will also be available in “Dead By Daylight.”

    Frontman Spencer Charnas commented:

    “Ice Nine Kills has always lived somewhere between menace and mischief. ‘Play Dead,’ our take on ‘Dead by Daylight,’ is a collision of hooks, horror, and total chaos. As lifelong horror fans, we find it surreal and an absolute honor to have Ice Nine Kills’ music officially tied to ‘Terrifier,’ ‘Scream,’ ‘Ready or Not,’ and now, the iconic survival horror game ‘Dead by Daylight.’

    Collaborating with ‘Dead by Daylight’ gave us the chance to step into a world that feels deeply aligned with our creative instincts. The game has an incredible legacy, and that chaotic, eerie, immersive energy is something we respect and admire. We wanted the song to feel like a real extension of that universe, not just inspired by it, but genuinely part of it.

    We worked closely with longtime composer Michel F. April to ensure every detail, from the atmosphere to the intensity, felt true to the game, and we spent time on set with ‘Dead by Daylight’ creatives Mathieu Cote and Eric Pope, as well as player experts like SpookyLoopz.

    The video also features iconic genre star Devon Sawa. He’s one of my favorite actors, from ‘Idle Hands’ and ‘Final Destination’ to literally playing ‘Stan’ in the Eminem video. And we’ve got Krsy Fox, one of the new modern horror scream queens, who not only had a showstopping performance in ‘Terrifier 3,’ but is a kickass indie horror film producer, too.

    Having Tony Hawk appear with us felt essential because he isn’t just the Michael Jordan of skateboarding. He’s synonymous with the marriage of music, gaming, and subculture. We bonded over the same offbeat pop-culture touchstones, from punk rock to the irreverent ’80s comedies like ‘The Naked Gun’ that shaped my brain just as much as horror did.

    And of course, Dingbar Tarbani slithered in to make things even stranger.”

  • Colorblind Premiere “Chemical Warfare” Video

    Colorblind have premiered a new video for their new song “Chemical Warfare.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Who Sold You This Truth ++ Was It Yours To Hold,” which will be released on August 28. Vocalist Travis Moseley commented:

    “‘Chemical Warfare’ is about the war between who you are and who you believe you are. When self-perception becomes a weapon, every thought feels like an attack. The song lives in the tension between inherited beliefs and personal truth — the moment you realize the voice tearing you down may not be yours at all.”

  • Behemoth To Take “At Least One Year Off” Following Fall Tour

    Behemoth are planning to go on break following their fall European tour with Dimmu Borgir and Dark Funeral. According to frontman Adam “Nergal” Darski, they are “looking for at least one year off.”

    Nergal told Tons Of Rock the following about the group’s current live plans:

    “The thing was that we either choose to do a full summer run or we do a proper headlining, co-headlining tour in the fall. And we chose the latter. It’s already been announced — DIMMU BORGIR, BEHEMOTH and DARK FUNERAL across Europe, 16 dates. So this is the main focus. So in order not to jeopardize that tour, we just decided to do very selected festivals only in June. So nothing in July or August that would just interfere with those October dates. So just four festivals, big festivals, big slots, and then a full-on production, and then three months nothing, and then the final tour. Because beyond that tour, we plan nothing. So, basically, we wrap that October tour, and BEHEMOTH is on hold.”

    He also futher explained the hiatus:

    “We need to recharge batteries. Basically, we need to rethink rejuvenate, so to say, and for that you need time. So I definitely don’t wanna rush anything. So we’re looking for at least one year off — nothing, no activities. We might be dropping some music. We are releasing a new EP album. It’s 40 minutes of music. So we’re dropping that right before the tour. We’re planning something for the next year as well, some special release. I can’t say much about it now. So there’s gonna be things happening in the BEHEMOTH camp, but there’s gonna be no live activities from us. I have stopped doing interviews for most part as well. So we just wanna chill.”

    Scowl have released a new EP featuring remixes of songs from their latest album “Are We All Angels.” The effort includes Sextile’s remix of “B.A.B.E.” and Machine Girl and Model/Actriz’s remixes of “Special.” Scowl said the following about the updated tracks:

    “We’re so excited to announce the ‘Are We All Angels’ remixes. It’s an honor to work with artists whom we have spent tons of sleepless nights blasting through tour van speakers. During the writing process of ‘AWAA’ we dreamt up what it would be like to have these songs remixed into something you might hear at the club and the reality has been such a pleasant surprise. It’s a treat to collaborate with artists that make music so uniquely engaging. We want to express our utmost gratitude to Machine Girl, Sextile, and Model/Actriz! We hope you dance until your mind goes numb, Scowl 🦋”

  • Floor Jansen (Nightwish) Premieres New Song “Run”

    Floor Jansen (Nightwish) has premiered a new song titled “Run.” The singer commented:

    “To me, ‘Run’ is about no longer making yourself smaller to fit into a shape that was never yours. It’s about taking off the mask, trusting your own movement, and daring to be seen that way. Musically, it feels like the start of something new. A little heavier, a little more direct, but still honest, still melodic, still completely me.”
