  • Heartsick Premiere “Sinister” Music Video

    Heartsick have premiered a new video for their song “Sinister.” That track is from the band’s latest album “Break The Curse.” Vocalist Alfonso Civile commented:

    “All of us are big monster-movie fans—films like ‘Cloverfield‘, ‘Pacific Rim‘, and the entire ‘Godzilla‘ vault. They’re the kind of movies that get us excited. In recent years, Godzilla has made a huge comeback in theaters, and when we were in the studio putting songs together, someone asked what the lyrics for this track should be. I don’t know—In that moment I just said, ‘Let’s make it about Godzilla.’ It felt angry, visceral, like some giant beast was coming to wreak havoc.”

  • As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis On The Band’s New Lineup: “They Deserve To Be Part Of The Good Things Ahead”

    As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis has reflected on this past year in a new post commemorating his 45th birthday. The vocalist described 2024 as “dark,” while also looking ahead to the future. He also took time to praise the band’s new lineup, saying “they deserve to be part of the good things ahead.”

    Lambesis said the following:

    “Last year’s birthday was the worst of my entire life.
    I was carrying more anxiety and depression than I’d ever known — feeling trapped, threatened, and unsure if there was even a safe way to make the changes I desperately needed.
    It was dark. And the thought of wishing I had never been born was something I wrestled with more than I’d ever admit.

    But facing that fear forced huge transformations in both my personal and professional life.
    Slowly, the weight started to lift, and meaningful connection with the people closest to me began to give me life again.

    This year looks completely different.
    I’m in a place where I genuinely appreciate — and feel appreciated by — the people around me.
    There’s a deeper level of friendship in my life than I’ve ever known, and a sense of peace I’ve been missing for most of my life.

    I get to have weekly dinners with my whole family.
    I fall asleep knowing my needs are met without having to plead, over-explain, or even ask.
    That community lines up beautifully with the personal work I’ve been doing — sometimes alone, sometimes with the guidance of someone who really knows what they’re doing.

    And on top of that, I get to finish writing all the music I started earlier this year with a group of guys I’ve known for a long time — guys who took the time to understand me even more deeply when I was at my lowest.
    They deserve to be part of the good things ahead.

    Thank you to everyone who reached out for my birthday.
    I’m sorry for the slow replies — social anxiety still sneaks up on me, especially with the pressure of our phones — but your messages meant the world.
    I felt loved. And I’m grateful.”

    As I Lay Dying’s latest return follows a 2024 mass exodus that saw everyone exit the band except Lambesis. The controversial vocalist, who previously served prison time for trying to hire a hitman to kill one of his former wives, was left in that position after footage of him engaging in altercations with his latest wife and their dog surfaced online.

  • SPEED Awarded New South Wales Music Prize

    SPEED have scored $80,000 AUD (about $52,000 USD) after winning the New South Wales Music Prize. The band were recognized for the “significant impact” made by their latest album “ONLY ONE MODE.”

    SPEED commented:

    “Respectfully, our culture has never been a game nor a competition. But we are honoured to receive this recognition and see this as acknowledgment of the values cultivated by the passionate souls around us.”

    They also added:

    “In 2025, we have a whole new generation of amazing kids all over the country making Sydney and Australian hardcore the sickest it’s ever been. With that being said, this award belongs to them – the people around us who make it what it is – and we’ll take some time to think about the best way we can pay that forward to keep growing this the right way.”
