New York band DEADLANDS exorcise stress, anxiety, doubt, and trauma via the unforgettable melodic metalcore that defines their new EP, titled SEVEN. SEVEN, a concept EP in which each song correlates to one of the seven deadly sins, will be released on June 27 via Spinefarm.
DEADLANDS have shared the video for the new single ‘Limbo,’ which examines the deadly sin of lust. This is founding member and frontwoman Kasey Karlsen at her most diverse yet, mixing melodic vocals with spine-chilling growls.
Regarding the single and video, she offers, “‘Limbo’ describes the story of falling in love with someone who is purely using you to satisfy their own desires. The purpose of this song is to focus on the destructive aspects of lust and how it can not only hurt someone else but also lead to self-destruction whether you’re the one with the feelings or not. We’ve all had the experience of wanting to hold onto something that feels so right, even when you know it could end badly.”
Temtris are ready to unleash their highly anticipated 8th studio album, Queen of Crows, on August 8 through Wormholedeath Records.
Queen of Crows is a bold, emotion-charged metal album, with nine killer tracks that turn a razor-sharp lens on the actions and consequences of the human condition. This album delivers thought provoking lyrics delivered with soaring power metal vocal stylings, leading the listener through skillfully crafted musical arrangements, resplendent with the powerful, driving rhythms and duelling guitar wizardry that have become the hallmark of this band’s unique and distinctive sound.
It all starts with the release of the first single ‘The World is Bleeding Out’.
Out of the darkness and on the heels of their Mortal Deluxe Album announcement Daedric returns with ‘Night Mother’, the first single from their upcoming full-length sophomore album.
‘Night Mother’ was the first track to go into production for the sophomore album, and it set the tone in the most chaotic way possible. Creative differences, technical issues, and behind-the-scenes struggles made the process feel more like a disaster than a starting point. “It was like walking into a party, and instead of someone handing you a drink, they hit you in the mouth with a lamp,” the band recalls. But through the turmoil, they knew they had something special. Rob’s initial track idea was inspiring, and Kristyn’s vocal approach brought fresh energy to the song. The struggle was worth it—the final result was so powerful that ‘Night Mother’ became the album’s first single.
Lyrically, ‘Night Mother’ explores themes of deception, blind trust, and painful disillusionment. It tells the story of someone who placed complete faith in another, only to realize they had been manipulated. “I fully trusted you. I thought everything you wanted for me was good, that I should follow everything you say because you have all this knowledge and power and authority,” Kristyn Hope explains. The chorus delivers one of the album’s most haunting lines: “I’m so naïve I would burn in a fire if you told me to stay.”
The song balances anger toward the deceiver with an underlying sense of shame and self-blame. “It sounds like all the anger is directed at someone else, but honestly, it’s more like, ‘Damn, I was so dumb,’” the band admits. [via GRIMM Gent]
OMINOUS RUIN have released a new music video. The new music video, for the track ‘Eternal,’ is taken from the San Francisco-based technical death metal band’s brand new album, Requiem, which was released on Friday, via Willowtip Records. The new material from the band is the first to feature new vocalist Crystal Rose.
Speaking about the song, and its accompanying new music video, the band shares, “there were a few goals behind the Eternal music video. Firstly, we wanted to capture the immense performances by all individuals, because the track is such a unique ripper, everyone has their moment to shine. Second, capitalize on the lyrical themes by capturing added strain and stress. And lastly, highlight the musical elements that we really think stand out from other bands and songs.”
Eville redefined the definition of provocative with their latest single, ‘Get with Me’. Splintering psyches with feral nu-metal volition, antagonising through teasing derision, Brighton’s rising brat metal band pulled no punches while launching an atomic attack on digitally endemic unsolicited lechery.
Produced by bassist Jude Richards, ‘Get with Me’ exhibits a gnarled atmosphere of intensity as filthy as the phenomenon that inspired the single. Giving her candied-with-feral-venom voice to the unspoken issue, Eva Sheldrake used real-life experiences to barb the protest against the lines crossed through fetid fantasy at the cost of women who dare to log in.
With basslines that rattle like rusted chains clashing with the detonations of percussion and hypersonic hooks, ‘Get with Me’ is a raw manifesto that refuses to sanitise the rage that inspired the creation of the cathartic call-out.
Eville seized the moment to forge a track straight from the heart and the gut—unapologetically honest, fiercely self-produced, and boiling with the kind of visceral intent that only comes when the artist holds every piece of the creative reins.
‘Get with Me’ is permission to reclaim the narrative, transform uncomfortable online encounters into sparks of defiance, wit and empowerment. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms; be a part of the resistance.
