  • Undeath Sign With Relapse Records

    Undeath have signed a new deal with Relapse Records. The band’s new album will be released through the label later this year.

    Vocalist Alexander Sason commented:

    “It’s time to unveil the next chapter for Undeath: We’re honored to announce that we’ve signed to Relapse Records. Relapse is a label every member of this band has admired and respected since we were young metalheads obsessing over Necrophagist and Dying Fetus, and for our band to now be a part of that amazing history (and such a badass roster full of bands we love) feels like a dream actualized.

    Our fourth album is recorded and in the chamber. We’ll have more details on that a little later, but for now just know that our fastest, darkest and most straight up evil record to date is on the way, and Relapse putting it out just feels right.”

  • Heathen Share Cover Of Psychosis’ “Twist Of Faith”

    Heathen have shared a new cover of Psychosis’ “Twist Of Faith.” You can check that out below. Notably, Heathen’s Kragen Lum and Jason Mirza were members of Psychosis. The band commented:

    “Let’s keep things rolling with new music for 2026! ‘Twist Of Faith’ is another early 1990s-era song that we gave the Heathen treatment. Demo collectors may have heard the original Psychosis recording of the song (with Kragen Lum on guitar and Jason Mirza on bass), but we’ve added some new elements and taken it to the next level! We have another 15 songs in various stages of production right now so enjoy the ‘Never A God’ 12″ maxi single with ‘Twist Of Faith’ and get ready for the new album (and more).”

  • Armored Saint Premiere “Hit A Moonshot” Video

    Armored Saint have premiered a new video for their new song “Hit A Moonshot.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Emotion Factory Reset,” which will be released on May 22.

    Members of the band commented:

    Singer John Bush:

    “It’s like you knocked something out of the park. I use a lot of sports analogies because I love sports. Sports IS entertainment…’Hit A Moonshot’ is inspired by the people who keep landing on their feet. Like, no matter what the fuck this person does… Some people just get lucky. This applies to anyone. And landing on your feet is commendable. So, I’m busting balls, but I’m also giving accolades. Sometimes people can do that all the way to their grave. Then there are other people who are so good or talented or creative, and they struggle forever. I don’t think life is balanced all the time, and I don’t think it’s fair.

    It has a ferocious riff, cool tempo changes, scorching leads, huge chorus with lots of backing vocals. We love Queen and The Sweet! It’s a cool breakdown with an epic ending. Once again, it sounds just like Armored Saint.”

    Bassist Joey Vera:

    “The intro riff is an echo of a memory from age 17 when I was in a garage band in Los Angeles. After I came up with this new version, the familiarity of it revealed itself once I stood back and listened. The riff is very different from the original one but there’s no doubt the feel and vibe has stuck with me ever since then. I added a half-time feel to the chorus to steer the arrangement away from predictability. It feels like classic Saint to me.”

    Guitarist Jeff Duncan:

    “I think the song defines what Armored Saint sounds like now. I used my Les Paul and an EVH amp for the rhythm guitars on everything. My solos were done with a couple different guitars; it’s simple, just good guitars plugged into a good amp and let it rip.”

  • Black Veil Brides Recruit Machine Head’s Robb Flynn For New Song “Revenger”

    Black Veil Brides have premiered a new song titled “Revenger.” The track, which features Machine Head’s Robb Flynn, is from the band’s new album “Vindicate,” which will be released on May 8.

    Frontman Andy Biersack commented:

    “I have always been interested in the sort of ethical dilemma that we have culturally of cheering for justice. I thought it would be an interesting exercise to write lyrics from the perspective of someone who is trying to seek out the ultimate form of justice.

    Because I was writing from someone else’s voice, this felt like the kind of song that would be best served by having someone else’s voice on the song. So, we brought in Robb Flynn of Machine Head. The reason he came to mind first was of course his voice, tonality and style I thought was perfect for this. He is also someone who was one of the first real defenders of Black Veil Brides. In the early days when we were getting absolutely shit on by every other metal band, Robb Flynn and Machine Head stood up for us and said positive things about us and has maintained that for years and years.

    I think it’s one of my favorite songs on the record.”

    Notably, Biersack has also released a new book based on “Revenger.” Here’s a synopsis:

    “Known only as The Revenger, he punishes the unforgivable and dismantles a sprawling criminal empire known as The Syndicate. But as he descends deeper into his crusade, The Revenger uncovers a web of betrayal that ties directly into his own fractured past.

    Blending the brooding aesthetic of classic noir with the visceral intensity of horror and revenge thrillers, Revenger interrogates guilt, corruption, and the thin line between hero and monster. This chilling, relentless tale announces a bold new voice in Horror Noir—a book destined to captivate fans of vengeance-driven stories and cinematic darkness.”
