  • HEALTH, Ice Nine Kills, And Periphery Members Contribute To “Crimson Moon” Soundtrack

    HEALTH, Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills), Misha Mansoor (Periphery), and YouTuber/musician Jared Dines have contributed music for boss fights in the new video game “Crimson Moon.” That roguelike RPG was released on September 1. The soundtrack will follow on September 4. Armellino commented:

    “When I got invited to collaborate with the incredible team at ProbablyMonsters to help bring Crimson Moon to life, I was so honored. The game is an epic action RPG that brings gothic and classical elements together with heavy metal, and making these tracks was a blast. I can’t wait for players to hear them in the game.”

  • Nails Sign With Closed Casket Activities, Release New EP “Fear Based Life”

    Nails have signed with Closed Casket Activities. With this news, the band have also released a new EP titled “Fear Based Life.” The effort features the title track and “Dollar Bin Generation.” Limited edition vinyl pressings will also be available on October 9.

    The group commented:

    “NAILS has been very fortunate to work with great labels. All throughout the band’s existence, there’s not a bad label that the band have worked with. In fact, they’ve all been great. A look into the backend of Nails, I’ve been working with Justin Louden of Closed Casket Activities since 2011. All NAILS decisions regarding tour decisions, business decisions….all the behind the scenes stuff…. we conferred with him to help with perspective and insight regarding how we made our moves and executed the vision for NAILS. There hasn’t been a more instrumental asset to NAILS than Closed Casket Activities in the past 15 years. Signing a record deal with Closed Casket Activities is the best move for NAILS and we know this is going to serve NAILS the best for the band’s needs. We hope you enjoy our new 2 song ‘Fear Based Life’ single, we will have our fifth LP out Summer 2027. Thank you for supporting NAILS.”

    They also added:

    “NAILS put these 2 songs together November/December 2025. Writing them was a true collaborative effort between the 3 of us. We decided to release them as we thought they complimented each other well together. Jef Whitehead aka WREST did an incredible job with the front cover artwork as well as Cavan Hoover with the inner artwork. The photography was done in Berlin, Germany by Duran Levinson. The layout and text was completed by our friend Martin Stuart. It was a great experience putting this release together and working with everyone who collaborated on it including Closed Casket Activities. We hope you enjoy it.”

  • To The Grave Premiere “LIFE AMONG THE SEPTICS” Video

    To The Grave have premiered a new video for their new song “LIFE AMONG THE SEPTICS.” This track is from their new album, “LIBERATION FRONT,” which will be released on October 2. Bassist Matt Clarke had the following to say about the single:

    “This song was us leaning hard back into the same influences as our ‘Director’s Cuts‘ album. It’s got all those elements in it: bouncy riffs, some fast stuff and just lots of dynamics. We’re looking forward to playing this one on the upcoming tours
that start today. Australia now, North America in two weeks! For the video, we wanted to do something a bit different to the other performance videos. We got a bunch of our mates to come down and hang with us. We did something that’s somewhere between serious and fun.”

  • Crown Magnetar Premiere “Dead Crown” Video

    Crown Magnetar have premiered a new video for their new song “Dead Crown.” This track is from the band’s new album, “The Hollowing Of Godflesh,” which will be released on September 25. Vocalist Dan Tucker said the following about the single:

    “‘Dead Crown‘ takes one of the darkest concepts on the record and turns it into one of the heaviest songs we’ve ever written. It’s centered around a crown being surgically driven into someone’s skull until it fuses with their flesh, slowly corrupting them from the inside. The riffs never let up, the drums are relentless, and the ending strips everything back into a primitive, caveman breakdown that is undoubtedly one of the heaviest moments on the record.”

  • Alex Van Halen Honored As Knight Of The Order Of The Netherlands Lion

    Van Halen’s Alex Van Halen has been honored as a “Ridder in de Orde van de Nederlandse Leeuw” (aka Knight in the Order of the Lion of the Netherlands). The drummer received the royal decoration earlier today (September 1). Alex commented:

    “My cousin organized most of this. But I’m very grateful. I think institutions like this are important in people’s lives because it adds a dignity and a gravity to what we do. Whether it’s actually deserved or not, that’s another question. But we can live up to it. That’s the whole thing, is you gotta have something to live up to.”
