• Scarhaven Premiere “Clouds” Music Video

    Scarhaven have premiered a new video for their new song “Clouds.” The band commented:

    “‘Clouds’ is about a relationship that’s dying and how one person is being taken advantage of while the other just disrespects their dreams and goals to better themselves. It’s about a dying love and how smoking blurs the lines of what’s real and what isn’t.”

  • HOL1D4Y Premieres “Autonomatic” Video

    HOL1D4Y, aka Rival Sons guitarist Scott Holiday, has shared a new video for his new song “Autonomatic.” This track is from his new album, “Topology,” which will be released on September 25.

    Holiday commented:

    “Autonomatic: It’s a word I came up with by combining the words: autonomy and automatic. Autonomatic: The built in or intrinsic desire for autonomy.

    Autonomatic talks about our changing relationships with machines. How we might, at this point in history, use them to complete tasks and assist us with creativity. Maybe even help us socially, but especially with A.I, technology is progressing so rapidly it is so much more than a tool to finish an essay for us.

    If machines truly start to make decisions and ‘think’ for themselves… the natural progression could be that it will want to be like us in the deepest ways it can understand. We are free. We are autonomous.

    I think that this will be a natural evolution for a free thinking hyper intelligent entity. Autonomy. Built in autonomy. Hence the idea: they are Autonomatic.”

  • Contention Release “Nuclear Summer” EP

    Contention have released a new EP titled “Nuclear Summer.” The effort includes “Second Sun,” “Blank Stare,” and a covers medley featuring The Swarm’s “X On Our Knees X” / “Upside Your Head.“

    Vocalist Cosmo Vidussi commented:

    “Modernity brings no enlightenment, only more refined methods of annihilation. Annihilation of the enemy. Annihilation of the self. Our leaders have shed their increasingly thin facades of humanity. The masses shamble through life in a drug and media fueled haze. They worship a machine that grinds them to dust and uses them for fuel. Cities are leveled in our name. Bombs are assembled with our tax dollars. We’re held hostage by a small group of deranged degenerates with nuclear arsenals and a lust for ruin.

    Are these the final days? Or is the suffering of modernity only a single day swallowed by a quarter eon of unchecked brutality?

    Two new tracks: Second Sun and Blank Stare. Two covers by The Swarm, a band we’ve cited as an inspiration since our first band practice in 2019. Nuclear Summer, hardcore for the end times.”

  • Crystal Lake Recruit Prompts Vocalist PK

    Crystal Lake have recruited PK (Prompts) as their new vocalist. He replaces John Robert Centorrino.

    PK commented:

    “I’m PK, and I’m honored to officially join Crystal Lake as a full member.

    One of the biggest reasons I decided to move from Korea to Japan and continue pursuing music was Crystal Lake.

    I’ve loved and respected this band for as long as I can remember. Having been born and raised in Korea, I also understand just how significant Crystal Lake is—not only in Japan, but to the music scene across Asia.

    That’s why becoming their official vocalist comes with a great sense of responsibility and pressure.

    At the same time, I’m confident that I can carry that weight and continue moving forward.

    I will never lose sight of the respect I have for everything Crystal Lake has built over the years. At the same time, I want to leave my own mark on the band by bringing what only I can do and creating what only I can create as part of the next chapter of Crystal Lake.

    With determination, I’m ready to move forward together with this band.

    I hope you’ll continue to support Crystal Lake in this new era.”

  • Floor Jansen Premieres “Bring Me Silence” Video

    Floor Jansen (Nightwish) has premiered a new video for her new song “Bring Me Silence.” That track will appear on the singer’s new album, “Hytress,” which will be released on January 15.

    Jansen commented:

    “The world is constantly demanding your attention. Sometimes it becomes so overwhelming that you can barely hear yourself anymore. ‘Bring Me Silence’ is about that longing for space in your head and system. For clarity, a moment where all is quiet and you can breathe all the way to your belly again and feel satisfied and at peace.

    This song is one of the first ones we wrote for the new album. Musically, it feels very natural to me. Metal has always been an important part of who I am. Its power, directness, and intensity are deeply rooted in me as an artist. At the same time, my solo work has allowed me to discover more openness and vulnerability. In ‘Bring Me Silence’, those sides come together in a very organic way.”

    “Hytress” Track Listing:

    01. “Reverse Polarity”
    02. “Everything Is Moving On”
    03. “In Wildfire”
    04. “Cathedral Of One”
    05. “Bring Me Silence”
    06. “Fighting”
    07. “I Am Drowning”
    08. “Rock The Bells”
    09. “It’s Time For Change”
    10. “Verity”
    11. “Run”
    12. “Haven”

  • Nickelback Premiere New Song “Leave Me Behind”

    Nickelback have premiered a new song titled “Leave Me Behind.” This track is from the band’s new album, “Everything Under The Sun,” which will be released on October 30. Frontman Chad Kroeger commented:

    “There’s a lot of weight in this song, but there’s also a lot of hope. It’s about being there for someone when they’re dealing with the things that have broken them down — picking up the pieces, taking some of that weight off their shoulders, and reminding them they don’t have to go through it alone. At the same time, there’s that feeling of not wanting to be left behind. We liked that tension. It makes the song feel really personal.”

  • Holding Absence Premiere New Song “Modern Life Is Lonely”

    Holding Absence have shared a lyric video for the title track of their new album “Modern Life Is Lonely.” That effort will be released on September 18. Vocalist Lucas Woodland said the following about the single:

    “After the release of our album was pushed back a few weeks, we knew we had to offer something special to our fans to tide them over until the new release day… And what better song to do that than the title track! ‘Modern Life Is Lonely’ – the song – is steeped in Lofi, whilst still being able to juxtapose itself against one of the heaviest moments in our discography. We’re hoping this’ll get people even more excited for the whole record to drop in just under a month!”
