Talented Brazilian Rock band Malvada are excited to unveil their new single and official music video, ‘Dead Like You’, out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

Malvada commented on the new single, by saying: “’Dead Like You’ is heavy, modern and surprising. We hope you immerse yourself in the world of this song”.

13-year-old screamer Harper has been showcasing her own twist on metalcore, and has just upped the ante with a heavy and pensive new single called ‘Thorn in My Side.’

The track bounds through noise-fractured riffage and glossy-and-synth-sparkled production work. Throughout, Harper sings and howls about living in a world of suffering, being betrayed by others, and standing her ground (“If it’s war, then ima give it to you”).

“‘Thorn in My Side’ was written when there just seemed to be a lot of bad things happening in the world,” she said in a statement. “Whenever I’d be in the car and the news came on the radio or even watching TV there was just nothing positive happening.”

She added: “Lyrically it’s pretty dark and just a statement of frustration. I also really wanted to push myself on this song, I’m still learning so much about my voice and what It can do, so it’s been really fun challenging myself to become a better vocalist.” [via Revolver]

Gothenburg-based post-metalcore band Aligned is back with their second single of 2025 and it’s a banger. Aligned is now streaming their new single ‘Control’ alongside a captivating and moody music video directed by Linda Florin (Dark Tranquillity, The Unguided).

On the single itself, Aligned offered: “‘Control’ further shows the progression Aligned is headed towards a unique take on modern metal, merging the raw intensity of metalcore with subtle touches of melodic metal and a haunting sense of melancholy.” [via Metal Injection]
