  • Saliva Recruit Thousand Foot Krutch’s Trevor McNevan For New Song “Cope”

    Saliva have teamed up with Thousand Foot Krutch’s Trevor McNevan for a new song titled “Cope.” You can find a lyric video for that track below:

    Saliva’s Bobby Amaru commented:

    “‘Cope‘ is about the quiet battles young people fight while trying to figure out who they are in a world that doesn’t always make it easy. It’s for every kid who feels too much, thinks too hard, and is just trying to make it through the noise. Having Trevor McNevan on this track was a blast and I feel that he really brought the song home.”

    McNevan added:

    “‘Cope‘ is about losing control—and realizing you were never meant to have control in the first place. The song really illustrates the feeling of hitting the bottom and realizing the only way up is to surrender.”

  • Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, And Enslaved Announce “Unholy Halloween” Show In Norway

    Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon, and Enslaved have booked a special “Unholy Halloween” show for this fall. The concert will take place at the Oslo Spektrum Arena in Oslo, Norway on October 31. Tickets will be available this Friday (April 10) at 10:00am CET.

    Dimmu Borgir vocalist Shagrath commented:

    “We’re releasing our new album ‘Grand Serpent Rising’ this spring, followed by extensive touring across Europe and other markets. By the time we return to Norway, we’ll be ready to deliver something truly massive. Since it’s been so long since our last headline show at home, we’re going all in. This will be the biggest Dimmu Borgir production to date.”

    Guitarist Silenoz continued:

    “This is more than a concert – it’s a statement. A celebration of a culture we’ve helped build over decades. Sharing the stage at Oslo Spektrum with bands that have been part of that same journey feels both significant and necessary.”

    Satyricon vocalist/guitarist Satyr also commented:

    “It’s been over 20 years since I first explored the idea of bringing together some of the giants of Norwegian black metal on the biggest stages in Europe. We never made it happen back then. Now, two decades later, it’s finally becoming a reality – and on a scale beyond anything we imagined. This will be our Super Bowl.”

    Enslaved guitarist/vocalist Ivar Bjørnson added:

    “We are very excited about being invited to be part of this massive endeavour; which will celebrate the leading edge of Norwegian Metal on the appropriate scale! We will bring our best game as always… and then some!”

  • Bodysnatcher Premiere New Song “Plague Of Flies”

    “To me, ‘Plague of Flies‘ is about giving in to the negativity and pain that the world brings, and becoming numb to the point where you welcome it and even add to it. This is one of the more exaggerated topics of the album. I don’t live in this headspace constantly, but there are times when I just want to say ‘fuck it, everyone else is an asshole, so I should be too.’”

  • Six Feet Under Premiere New Song “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods”

    Six Feet Under have premiered a new song titled “Mutilated Corpse In The Woods.” You can check that out below. The track is from their new album, “Next To Die,” which will be released on April 24. Guitarist Jack Owen commented:

    “This song started when my wife and I were in an antique store and she found an amber quartz pendant that had lines through the whole thing. I asked her what it was and she said it’s a Rutilated Quartz. Well, that’s all I needed for a title and some lyrical ideas. The chorus came easy. The verses were from a true crime show where a woman described being attacked by an assailant who tied her to a tree and slit her throat. She couldn’t speak or scream. In real life she survived the attack, telling her story with a giant scar across her throat. In this song, unfortunately she did not survive… My killer buried her where she will never be found. I wrote the music from scratch around the lyrical ideas.”
