  • Future Palace Premiere “Tidal Waves” Music Video

    Future Palace have premiered a new video for their new song “Tidal Waves.” You can check out that clip below. The track is taken from the band’s new album, “Resurgence,” which will be released on July 31.

    Singer Maria Lessing commented:

    “This is probably the most important song I have ever written. It was extremely hard for me to write and I have failed to write a good song about this very important topic over and over again these past years. To sum it up: This song is about true love and how it feels. It can be very hard to recognize true love, but I personally found it in the role of being a big sister. Being someone who protects, cares, and always finds the time and patience to be there.

    I tried, and still try, my best to keep my younger sister from the pain that I had to go through. Even though we already went through a lot of pain together in our lifes, but it made our bond only stronger. I feel like no one will ever truly understand you like a close sibling does.”

    Guitarist Manuel Kohlert added:

    “This one started with a request by [drummer] Johannes [Früchtenicht] when he said he wanted a certain kind of ballad. Challenge accepted. The instrumental was actually very easy to write and came naturally. Compared to the rest of the album this track is by far the softest, yet it builds up to a big, still heavy chorus followed by a dreamy acoustic bridge. All in all, this is our rock ballad.”

  • Distant Share Video For “All Will Be (N)one” Featuring Suffocation’s Ricky Myers

    Distant have premiered a new video for their new song “All Will Be (N)one.” You can check that out below. The track, which features Suffocation’s Ricky Myers, is from the band’s new album, “Into Despair,” which will be released on November 6.

    The group commented on the single:

    “‘All Will Be (N)One‘ is a bleak, atmospheric track that explores humanity’s fear of death and the inevitability of time’s collapse. Blending crushing riffs with relentless rhythms, the song builds a sense of slow-burning dread before erupting into moments of raw confrontation. Lyrically, it shifts the perspective from resistance to acceptance. The feature from Ricky Myers of Suffocation adds an extra layer of intensity and authority, reinforcing the track’s central message: that everything fades, and all will be (n)one.”

    They also added the following about the album:

    “Driven by raw honesty and pure emotion, ‘Into Despair’ is an album born from personal battles and lived experiences. Every song carries pieces of each member’s own journey, with moments of pain, reflection, and resilience woven into a deeply intimate body of work. More than just a collection of songs, ‘Into Despair’ is a cathartic expression of vulnerability and a reminder that even in our darkest moments, grief is something we all share. It stands as the band’s most heartfelt and authentic statement yet, transforming personal suffering into something universally resonant.”

    01. “The World“

  • The Warning’s Paulina “Pau” Villarreal Vélez Faints During Münster, Germany Concert, Rock Werchter Set Cancelled

    During The Warning’s July 2 concert at Skaters Palace in Münster, Germany, drummer/vocalist Paulina “Pau” Villarreal Vélez ended up fainting onstage. The incident happened 11 songs in.

    Pau wasn’t feeling well during the performance, but tried to continue. However, the illness caught up to her during a performance of “DISCIPLE.” After she fainted, there was a break before guitarist/vocalist Daniela “Dany” Villarreal Vélez and bassist/vocalist Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal Vélez returned to the stage to perform two acoustic songs.

    Unfortunately, Pau has yet to fully recover. As such, the band’s July 3 set at Rock Werchter has been cancelled. The group commented:

    “To our fans at Werchter Festival,

    We were hopeful that Pau would be ready to perform today, but her illness was tougher than we expected and she needs more time to rest and recover before she can return to stage.

    Unfortunately, we have to cancel today’s performance at Werchter Festival.

    We’re so sorry to everyone who was planning to see us tonight. We were really looking forward to coming back to Belgium and play for you. Thank you for all the love, patience, and understanding you’ve shown us over the last days.

    Veel liefs,
    Dany, Pau and Ale“

  • Disfiguring The Goddess Premiere “Kiss The Dice” Video

    Disfiguring The Goddess have premiered a new video for their new song “Kiss The Dice.” That track is from the band’s new album, “Bloom,” which will be released on July 31.

    Cameron “Big Chocolate” Argon commented:

    “‘Kiss the Dice’ was actually the last song I wrote for the album, and it became a way to pull together a lot of the different directions and influences that shaped this record. Lyrically, it is about an all-nighter in Reno, Nevada, with a bit of Lady Luck woven into it.

    On the surface, the song can feel confident and fun, but underneath that there is something sadder and more lost. It carries the feeling of knowing your truth while still being intoxicated by the sin-driven atmosphere of a city like Reno. Musically, it moves back and forth between gut-punching, pit-driven guitar sections and a simpler, more open chorus.

    The drums stay bouncy and punchy throughout, and there is a subtle dance-oriented thread running through the song until the very end, where some of the buried melodic emotion finally comes to life through the synth arrangements.”

  • Jello Biafra’s Brief Live Return “Took A Lot Out Of Him”

    As previously reported, former Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra recently made a return to the live stage during the Tentacle Fest in San Francisco, CA. The brief appearance was welcomed news amid health setbacks related to a hemorrhagic stroke. Despite this, it appears his recovery is still ongoing.

    Biafra’s partner Anne-Marie commented:

    “Hi,

    Jello would like to let everyone know that even though he indeed got on stage for Tentacle Fest, he still has a ways to go in terms of his recovery. That evening took a lot out of him. It is pretty great that he has come as far as he has. Again, the outpouring of caring is very much appreciated.

    Anne-Marie”

    Alternative Tentacles also issued a statement:

    “A bit of clarification from Alternative Tentacles Records regarding Jello Biafra’s condition.

    Like all of you, we were thrilled to see Jello back on stage at TentacleFEST. That said, it’s important to keep things in perspective. Jello was only on stage for less than 10 minutes, and by the end of the event he was visibly exhausted and pale. It took lot out of him to do even that much.

    He’s continuing to work hard to regain his strength and balance, but that process is going to take time. As much as we’d all love to see him back on stage regularly, it’s simply too soon to expect that of him. Like all of you, we continue to support his recovery and understand it’s going to be a long road. We want him to take all the time he needs.”

  • Queensrÿche Singer Todd La Torre On Upcoming Album: “This Album Is Going To Be Based Around A Concept That Happens On The First Album”

    During a recent interview with Metal-Rules.com, Queensrÿche singer Todd La Torre discussed the band’s next album. He says the effort will “be based around a concept that happens on the first album.”

    La Torre said the following about the band’s progress:

    “I have a ton of songs at home that the guys have worked on and written — a lot of really good demo stuff. I’ve already put vocals down on a couple of songs, but I have a lot of material staring me in the face, waiting for me to write lyrics and melodies. The problem is that we play so much. Even when we leave Europe, I go home for two days, then I’m out for four days in the States. Then I’m home for another two days, and after that I’m gone all through July. So I only get a little break in August when I can really try to work on stuff, because you need your ears to decompress. You also have things at home to take care of. But yeah, we’re writing a new record.”

    He continued when asked if the album will “continue where ‘Digital Noise Alliance’ left off”:

    “No. I’m not going to say what it is, but… I don’t know if you’d call it a concept album. That’s kind of the idea.”

    He also confirmed that it won’t have anything to do with “Operation: Mindcrime”:

    “This is going to touch on a subject that Queensrÿche hasn’t talked about since the very first record… There is, 100 percent, a connection [to the first Queensrÿche LP]. This album is going to be based around a concept that happens on the first album but is never talked about again in Queensrÿche’s history. So, it has nothing to do with ‘Operation: Mindcrime’. We don’t have any interest in that. This is a whole different thing. Musically, I’d say everything I’m hearing sounds much more old school — more like the EP, ‘Warning’ and ‘Rage For Order’, maybe with a little newer flavor — but it definitely sounds like classic Queensrÿche.”

    He then further discussed his mindset:

    “Writing a concept album where every song leads directly into the next one isn’t really what I’m interested in. It’s more like when you watch a movie. Sometimes the beginning starts where the ending is, and then they add pieces throughout the story in different parts of the movie until it all comes together. You could literally move one song over here, and another song over there, and it still works.”

    La Torre discussed lyrical themes as well:

    “The way I’m thinking about it, there’s no way you can tell everything in one album. So, it could be. I think if this were the last record the band ever wrote, there would still be storytelling there, and maybe that could be enough. But it would always be open to evolving further. It won’t be just a beginning, a middle, and an end. It’s a story that can go on and on.”
