  • Meridian Veil (Cryptopsy, Etc.) Premiere “The Watcher” Video

    Meridian Veil, the project featuring guitarist Danny Marino (ex-The Agonist), vocalist Matt McGachy (Cryptopsy), drummer Dylan Gowan (Seven Spires), and cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne (Leprous live), have premiered a new video for their new song “The Watcher.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Forgotten Sun,” which will be released on January 22.

    “Forgotten Sun” Track Listing:

    01. “The Watcher“
    02. “Orpheus Before The Light“
    03. “Ashen Genesis“
    04. “False Shepherd“
    05. “Only Perfection“
    06. “Downfall “
    07. “Children Of Betrayal“

    Marino told Metal Injection the following:

    “From the beginning, more than 20 years ago, I wanted Meridian Veil to be deeply emotional. Even though ‘Forgotten Sun’ gets heavy, there’s a deep longing that runs through the cautionary tale at the album’s core.”

    He also discussed the album’s AI theme:

    “Technology is evolving far faster than the actual evolution of our species. It’s going so fast that soon we’ll be at the point where we are completely disconnected from it.”

  • Gatta Morta (Melvins, Butthole Surfers, Etc.) Premiere “Music For Furbies” Music Video

    Gatta Morta, the new project featuring Buzz Osborne (Melvins), JD Pinkus (Butthole Surfers), Coady Willis (Big Business), and Clinton Jacob (mr.phylzzz), have premiered a new video for their new song “Music For Furbies.” You can check that out below. The track is from the band’s new album, “Immaculator,” which will be released on February 12.

    Jacob commented on the single:

    “I brought ‘Music For Furbies’ in and everyone just ran with it. I love what each of these guys brings to a song, and unsurprisingly, with this group, we managed to make something completely badass. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. I’m pretty sure the Furbies would approve.”

    Osborne also added the following about the album:

    “I figured we’d go in and write a few songs and see if there was anything there. There was. Everybody came in with ideas, and nobody was precious about them. Things just started happening. The initial hope was to write three songs, and we left with six in the first five days! Everyone contributed something to these songs. A real team effort.”

    01. “Black Hall“
    02. “Taco Bellboy“
    03. “Jailbake“
    04. “Clear Smoke“

    09. “Music For Furbies“
    10. “Child Of A Burning Tire“

  • King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard Announce New Album “Entropy” And 2027 North American Tour

    King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard have announced a new album titled “Entropy.” The effort will be released on December 4 via (p)doom records.

    “Entropy” Track Listing:

    01. “Aeon“
    02. “Heaven & Hell“
    03. “Hard Sync“
    04. “Rogue Wave“
    05. “Angel“
    06. “To Mercury…“
    07. “Face Of The Earth“
    08. “Entropy“

    Stu Mackenzie commented:

    “Entropy began to feel like its own project, something that could stand on its own, and needed a little longer to simmer. We were like, ‘Let’s commit – let’s dig deeper, mine this sound further, and challenge ourselves a bit more.’ Entropy’s definitely coming from its own place.

    Alien Metal’s tracks are 143bpm and in F sharp; Entropy’s tracks are at 160bpm and in the key of A. Entropy’s a lot faster, and has a different energy, and we leaned into a lot of different rhythmic things on this one. And where Alien Metal had a grungy dirtiness about it, Entropy is prettier, more harmonic, more cosmic.”

    With this news, the band have also announced a 2027 North American tour. Here’s the dates:

    08/05–08/06 Los Angeles, CA – Hollywood Forever Cemetery

  • Justice For The Damned Premiere New Song “Torn In Two”

    Justice For The Damned have premiered a new song titled “Torn In Two.” You can check that out below. Vocalist Bobak Rafiee commented:

    “Written during a time of two ongoing wars, one connected to my own bloodline’s homeland, the song reflects on how easily even the people we consider wise or educated can be influenced by what they see online. We’re all bound by our own knowledge and awareness, meaning what feels like reality to one person can look like an illusion to another. The song ultimately builds toward a bleak realisation about how much of our public concern for others can become performative, and whether, beneath it all, we’re ultimately more concerned with ourselves.”
