Rising hardcore band from Arizona, Bite The Hand, share their newest single, ‘Razorblade,’ and it’s a searing anthem and rallying cry for anyone who’s ever been told to stay small, silent, or in their place.
“It’s definitely an anthem for anyone who has to deal with constant, violent misogyny,” vocalist Echo Breen (she/her) says.
International all-female metal collective Chaos Rising release their twenty-ninth single and video.
‘The Worst Is To Come’ is a thrash metal song written by Stéphanie Nolf (Unsafe- France) & Pitchu Ferraz (ex-Nervosa – Brazil), featuring Haru Cage on vocals (Corja !-Brazil), Pitchu Ferraz (As Mercenarias, Wonder Maidens – Brazil) on drums and percussion instruments, Dé Bermudez on bass (Wonder Maidens – Brazil), Stéphanie Nolf (Unsafe- France) on guitar.
Founded by French multi-instrumentalist Stéphanie Nolf, Chaos Rising is a unique project that brings together female metal musicians from across the globe. ‘ The Worst Is To Come’ is inspired by old school thrash metal, a song reminiscent of Sepultura’s first albums.
The lyrics are committed, they address social problems, violence, corruption and therefore the need to come together around common values to defend peace and justice.
Progressive symphonic metal band Scardust are thrilled to announce the release of their anticipated new studio album Souls, out on July 18 via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band also share the new single and accompanying official video, ‘Dazzling Darkness’, available now.
Italian metallers Eternal Idol are pleased to announce the release of their new studio album Behind A Vision, scheduled for release on July 11 via Frontiers Music Srl.
The first single, ‘Empire Of One’, and its accompanying video, offer a taste of what to expect from the new record.
Guitarist Nick Savio commented on the new single: “’Empire Of One’ will be easily chosen as one major hit in our next live set list. This masterpiece has all the right cards to be one of the best songs ever written by Eternal Idol. Solid high class modern rock riff with the co-lead male and female vocals singers at their best”.
‘Oubliette’, the latest single from Kelowna power trio FREEZE THE FALL, is a tightly crafted cut blending aggressive riffs, soaring melodies and intense lyrical themes. The track marks a significant step forward for the metallers showcasing their ability to write songs that are both blistering and emotionally resonant. ‘Oubliette’ has a certain je ne sai quoi with its use of secret French language messages encoded throughout the song. This hard-hitting progressive piece, sends audiences into a twisted Parisian silent film of a bygone era with its accompanying visualizer. The single comes off the group’s EP, The Red Garden, out everywhere June 18 via 604 Records. Reminiscent of acts like ARCHITECTS, SPIRITBOX, and early BRING ME THE HORIZON, the EP is produced, mixed and mastered by Jordan Chase and engineered by Colton Douglas at Oo-de-lally Recordings in British Columbia, Canada.
‘Oubliette’ is a reflection of longing for a simpler time, a past version of oneself, or of one’s innocence. “Don’t we all wish to immortalize a younger version of ourselves in some way?” explains the band. [via GRIMM Gent]
BATTLE BEAST have released a new music video. The new music video, for the track ‘Last Goodbye’, is the brand new single from the Finnish power metal band and marks their first new music since 2022’s Circus Of Doom. The new single gives a first glimpse into the band’s upcoming new album, information of which will be unveiled in due course.
Speaking about the new single, bassist Eero Sipilä shares, “the spark for ‘Last Goodbye’ was lit in the least rock ’n roll place imaginable: a hospital. In 2020, I spent a few weeks there and met an older woman battling cancer—a fight she’d been waging on and off since 1985. It made me wonder: how much can a person take before they give up? But she never did. She kept showing up, kept pushing through the treatments, kept being around. Last Goodbye is a tribute to that human fighting spirit—the will to rise every time life knocks you down. As long as you’re breathing, you’re still in the game.”
Moonlight Haze has released a video for ‘Awakening’, third single taken from the new album Beyond to be released on May 23 by Scarlet Records.
THE PRETTY WILD have released a brand new song. The new song, titled ‘Omens,’ is the brand new single from the Las Vegas-based metalcore sister duo and follows on from their previous single, button eyes, which was released back in March.
Speaking about the new song, Jyl from the band shares, “’Omens’ is an anthem for those done performing. Our song calls out the masks we all are subconsciously conditioned to wear to survive in life and the tragic loops they lead us into. It’s about finally choosing inner truth over applause, and the painful realisation that to find true coherence, the mask must be ripped off, along with the life, lies, and illusions built around it.”
