• Desmadre Part Ways With Vocalist Carlos Moreno

    Desmadre have parted ways with vocalist Carlos Moreno. According to the band, his departure was related to “unforeseen circumstances.”

    The group commented:

    “To the Desmadre Family,

    First and foremost, we want to thank each and every one of you for the years of support, love, loyalty, and admiration you have shown us. From the very beginning, you have stood by our side through every show, every song, every struggle, and every victory. None of what we have accomplished would have been possible without you.

    It is with heavy hearts that we announce that, due to unforeseen circumstances, Los will no longer be serving as the frontman of Desmadre. This was not an easy decision, and we know this news may come as a surprise to many of you who have supported him and this band throughout the years.

    For the time being, a good friend of ours will be stepping in to help fill that void as we move forward into this next chapter of Desmadre. While change is never easy, we remain committed to continuing the legacy, passion, and energy that this band was built on.

    We also want to reassure everyone that our upcoming EP, is still very much in the works. The music continues, the vision remains strong, and our commitment to this band and to all of you has never wavered.

    Desmadre is not going anywhere.

    We understand there may be questions, emotions, and uncertainty surrounding this transition. All we ask is for your patience and understanding as we navigate these changes and continue building what we have all created together.

    A new chapter is beginning. New music. New energy. New everything.

    Thank you for believing in us, standing by us, and allowing us to continue doing what we love. We promise to give you everything we have and make you proud to be part of the Desmadre family.

    With love, gratitude, and respect,

    –Desmadre“

  • No Cure Premiere “Slowly Turning Blue” Video

    No Cure have premiered a new video for their new song “Slowly Turning Blue.” This track is from the band’s new album, “It Is Going To Get Dark,” which will be released on July 10. Vocalist Blaythe Steuer said the following about the single:

    “‘Slowly Turning Blue‘ is a song I needed to write before No Cure was even an idea. Unfortunately, it’s pretty emotionally challenging for me, so instead I will talk about how much I love the static pinch riff, the harmonized guitars in the bridge, and the Sepultura drums section. I can’t wait to play this one live starting next month across the US because to be honest you are dancing.”

  • Beartooth Premiere “Bullshit” Lyric Video

    Beartooth have shared a lyric video for their new song “Bullshit.” As previously reported, the last-minute clip was created after a previous artist lied about using AI on the original lyric video. The track will appear on the band’s new album, “Pure Ecstasy,” which will be released on August 28. Vocalist Caleb Shomo said the following about the single:

    “‘Bullshit‘ is a familiar song I’ve written many times. I wanted to revisit the musical style that was the catalyst of so much healing and discovery in my earlier years of Beartooth. It’s an exercise in letting the truth out about what you’re sick of in your own life. Sometimes the easiest way to deal with something is to yell about it as loud as you can. Can confirm, it felt as amazing to do this exercise now as it did when I was 19.”

  • Dark Funeral Announce New Live Album “A Beast To Praise”

    01. “Unchain My Soul”
    02. “The Arrival Of Satan’s Empire”
    03. “My Funeral”
    04. “Leviathan”
    05. “We Are The Apocalypse”
    06. “Open The Gates”
    07. “When I’m Gone”

    13. “Where Shadows Forever Reign”

    Lord Ahriman commented:

    “‘A Beast To Praise’ 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…”

  • Samael Premiere “Hail To The Sun” Video

    Samael have premiered a new video for their new song “Hail To The Sun.” You can check that out below. The group commented:

    “In troubled times, it is good to come together around something that is meaningful to us all… and what better thing than the sun, which is one but experienced differently by each of us? ‘Hail To The Sun’ is an anthem that will see you through the summer and keep you warm when winter comes. The song is about overcoming adversity and seizing life’s opportunities.”

  • Five Finger Death Punch Have Scored Two More Gold Singles In The United States

    Five Finger Death Punch have scored two more gold singles in the United States. “Darkness Settles In” from the band’s 2020 album “F8“ and “Welcome To The Circus” from the band’s 2022 album “AfterLife“ were both certified by the RIAA on June 17.

  • Behemoth Premiere “I, Scvlptor” Video

    Behemoth have shared an official video for the title track of their new compilation album “I, Scvlptor.” That effort will be available digitally and as a CD, LP, MC, and limited edition box set on September 4. As previously reported, it will include new music, re-recorded tracks, a Venom cover, and more.

    Frontman Nergal commented on the 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.”

    He also added the following about the album:

    “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.”

  • SAVE US Premiere “Death To Something” Video

    SAVE US have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Death To Something.” That effort will be released on October 16. Vocalist Miguel Owls said the following about the single:

    “‘Death To Something’ was the last song we wrote with [producer] Landon [Tewers], and it ended up giving the record its name. Lyrically, it was inspired by my newborn son. 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.”

    “Death To Something” Track Listing:

    01. “Chains”
    02. “Last Of Me”
    03. “Mente Fragmentada”
