Twin Temple have shared the title track of their new album “Doomed Lovers.” That effort will be released on October 9. Pre-orders can be found HERE.
The group commented:
“This is the philosophical centerpiece of the album — a theatrical and confessional take on all or nothing love, the dark side of devotion and centuries old mythic literary Romantic themes. It longs for a love so enduring and eternal that it ultimately consumes, obliterates, and drives one to madness and death. At its core, it asks the question — ‘What happens when your lover dies?’
But what makes the song unique is that it rejects the conventional and culturally accepted answer… ‘I know I should tell you to find someone new,’ in favor of raw, unfiltered and selfish desire, things that would be shameful to speak in mundane reality.”
They also added the following about the album:
“We poured everything into this new record that we made with [producer] Shooter [Jennings]. We wanted to push ourselves creatively and expand the production further than we have before, drawing inspiration from the lush orchestral productions of Roy Orbison, The Ronettes and The Shangri-Las and added in some Countrypolitan flair. We brought in some incredible musicians like Matt Chamberlain and Jay Bellerose and a 37-piece orchestra. We wanted to make something as beautiful as we possibly could — of course with our dark spin on things.
The truth is, this album was made during one of the darkest periods of our lives. We had been struggling with grief, health issues, addiction and depression. But day by day, going into Sunset Sound, making music with incredible people who believed in us and being surrounded by that creativity slowly brought us back to life. We started smiling and laughing again. I was becoming alive again. It connected us to why we fell in love with music in the first place and became our most personal album yet.”

Walls Of Jericho have premiered a new video for their new song “The Ascent.” That track will appear on the band’s recently announced album, “System Error: Humanity,” which will be released on November 13.
Frontwoman Candace Buckingham had the following to say about the new single:
“‘The Ascent’ is a crushing blend of dissonant riffs, massive breakdowns, and raw intensity. Lyrically, it’s about confronting yourself one hard truth at a time, shedding ego, silencing the noise, and discovering that real strength isn’t found at the summit, but in the discipline and honesty it takes to climb. Because growth begins where comfort ends.”
She also added the following about the album:
“‘System Error: Humanity’ is a raw, unapologetic, and most aggressive record to date. We set out to capture the chaos, intensity, and raw energy of our live show rather than chase perfection. Lyrically, it’s a rebellion against the modern forces that fracture identity: comparison, conformity, distraction, and the endless pressure to perform instead of live. At its core, this album is about reclaiming your attention, owning your choices, and becoming who you were before the world told you who to be. Kill the noise. Reclaim yourself.”
According to Billboard, Iron Maiden have sold 50% of their assets to Pophouse Entertainment. This includes “publishing and master music rights, and a stake in their name, image, and likeness (NIL) rights.”
Pophouse CEO Jessica Koravos commented:
“We are 50-50 partners with the band, and the plan is that we’re going to work together turbo charging Maiden’s plans for the future. With Pophouse, we’re always thinking around the visual identity and … there’s lots of world building that’s possible both in [Maiden’s] artwork, but also in the storytelling within the songs. The heavy metal genre, especially with the addition of Eddie, lends itself to a treatment potentially in the world of horror.”
She continued:
“One of the attractions of this catalog is the incredible fandom that surrounds them, and they’ve done the most incredible job over the years of giving those fans amazing shows every single time. I have a deep understanding of the Maiden fan, and I think the band would say they’ve brought us on board to turbo charge them, [not] to help them hang up their boots.”
Iron Maiden manager Rod Smallwood added:
“I am very excited about our relationship with Pophouse and the ability we now have to pursue, facilitate, and finance our many plans and dreams quicker than we ever hoped. The interest in the band has never been bigger and [with] this strategic partnership … the fans can be assured there is a great deal more to come for Maiden, and Eddie will rule, OK!”
Nickelback have recruited John 5 (Mötley Crüe, etc.) for a new song titled “Rattle The Cage.” You can find a video for that track below. Nickelback’s new album, “Everything Under The Sun,” will be released on October 30. Frontman Chad Kroeger commented:
“This album has every side of the band on it. There are songs that hit as hard as anything we’ve ever done, songs that take chances, and songs that remind us why we’ve been doing this together for so long. ‘Rattle The Cage’ felt like the perfect way to kick the door open — it has the energy we’ve been feeding off every night on stage, and we can’t wait for people to hear it.”

01. “Rattle The Cage” (feat. John 5)

Heathen have shared a new cover of Iron Maiden’s “The Prisoner.” You can stream that track below. Guitarist Kragen Lum commented:
“What can we say about the legendary Iron Maiden that hasn’t already been said? They’ve given us 50 years of energetic, melodic metal that’s inspired Heathen and legions of other bands in the genre. ‘The Prisoner’ was an easy choice for us to cover, with its heavy intro, uptempo verses, catchy chorus, and classic instrumental section. We added a few touches to ‘Heathenize’ the song while staying true to what made it so great when it was first released in 1982. Enjoy this recording as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of one of heavy metal’s greatest bands. Up the Irons!”
