  • Xandria Premiere “Eclipse” Music Video

    Xandria have shared an official video for the title track of their new album “Eclipse.” That effort will be released on August 7. Mastermind Marco Heubaum said the following about the single:

    “‘Eclipse’ is fast, heavy and full of fire. The sun represents the light of civilisation, while the moon slowly moves in front of it and leaves the world in darkness. Musically, the song turns this image into an epic battle, with Ambre moving between powerful rock vocals, operatic singing and growls in a performance that still leaves me speechless. But an eclipse does not last forever. The song is about refusing to accept the darkness as the new normal: ‘No, we won’t let them win this war.’”

  • Accept Recruit Ghost, Korn, And Anthrax Members For New Version Of “Save Us”

    Accept have shared a new version of their song “Save Us.” The updated track features Ghost singer Tobias Forge, Korn drummer Ray Luzier, and Anthrax bassist Frank Bello. You can stream it below. The new take on the song is from Accept’s new guest-filled 50th anniversary album “Teutonic Titans 1976–2026″ (out September 4). Wolf Hoffmann commented:

    “Tobias was not really on my radar. Obviously, I know Ghost, and they’re huge, but last year he turned up at one of our shows when we played in Stockholm, and we were chatting a little bit, and he said that his favorite song was ‘Save Us,’ and at one point. he was considering using it as a cover song on one of their albums, but it never panned out. ‘Save Us?’ I don’t even remember that song. Nobody has even mentioned that song! I had to go back and listen to it. After I saw a Ghost show, it all made sense to me. It really fits his style and I could really imagine him doing that song really well. He’s right, it’s a fun song!”
