  • Havok Sign With BLKIIBLK, Premiere New Song “Fifth Generation Warfare”

    Havok have signed a new deal with BLKIIBLK. The band’s first release through the label, a single titled “Fifth Generation Warfare,” can be found below:

    The group commented on the deal:

    “We’re excited to sign with a new label that is hungry and eager to make a name for themselves, while still being led by a seasoned veteran. The music we’re releasing with BLKIIBLK is a continuation of HAVOK’s history of fast and tight heavy metal and we can’t wait for everyone to hear what we’ve been working on.”

    They also added the following about the song:

    “‘Fifth Generation Warfare’ is the first release with our new guitarist, Brett Rechtfertig. The song showcases a wide variety of HAVOK sounds; incorporating guitar harmonies, punk attitude, pummeling drums, bass lines that deviate from the guitar parts, and a message about a gnarly topic, while still leaning into optimism. A lot of HAVOK lyrics discuss negative topics, but we always try to put a positive spin on things.”

  • The Barbarians Of California Premiere “THE GNARLYCORE CLASS” Music Video

    The Barbarians Of California have premiered a new video for their new song “THE GNARLYCORE CLASS.” This track is from the band’s new album, “MEGATONS,” which will be released on August 21.

    Eric Stenman said the following about the single:

    “Sometimes when writing a new song, the goal is to land on a tempo that hasn’t been used anywhere else on the album. ‘GNARLYCORE’ was just that. I think Aaron [Bruno] has been wishing for something in this vein for a while now. This was the second to last song that we came up with for ‘MEGATONS,’ and it seemed to come together quickly and effortlessly.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “Everyone has heard of the sophomore slump. Making a second album can be a fraught process full of overthinking and self-doubt. Perhaps, the benefit of us starting this band, at this later point in our lives, relieves some of that pressure. This felt so easy, and is a seamless continuation of whatever we started with the first batch of song — just bigger and better.”

    “MEGATONS” Track Listing:

    01. “BACK TO THE VALLEY”
    02. “THE GNARLYCORE CLASS”
    03. “VANILLA LATTE”
    04. “BOMB TO A KNIFE FIGHT”
    05. “REALLY REALLY RAD”
    06. “MEGATONS SEGUE”
    07. “EARTHQUAKE”
    08. “THIS IS SHREDICAL”
    09. “HIDE ALL YOUR RECORDS”
    10. “MODERN FASHION”
    11. “SHARK OUT OF WATER”
    12. “I AM THE SUBMARINE”

  • Tarja Turunen Premieres “The Trace Outlives” Video

    Tarja Turunen (ex-Nightwish) has premiered a new video for her new song “The Trace Outlives.” You can check that out below. The track, which features Sayo Komada, is from the singer’s new album, “Frisson Noir,” which will be released on June 12.

    The following was said about the single:

    “Inspired by the Japanese phenomenon of ‘Johatsu,’ people who deliberately disappear from their lives, ‘The Trace Outlives’ tells a story of vanishing without a trace, exploring the emotional weight of leaving one’s identity behind to start anew in anonymity, while reflecting on regret, freedom, and the invisible marks that remain even in absence. Rooted in this concept, the song also incorporates the sound of the shamisen, a traditional Japanese instrument resembling a guitar but with a distinctly more percussive character, brought to life by the young talent Sayo Komada.”

    Turunen added:

    “I was looking for a sound that would take me to Japan and found a beautiful ancient instrument that resembles a guitar, but has a more percussive sound – the shamisen, traditionally used in puppet theaters. I invited the young talent Sayo Komada to blend her art with my song.”
