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.

The first single and accompanying video, ‘Haunted’, are out now, offering a taste of what to expect with this new record.

Calva Louise burst into 2025 with the release of their relentlessly captivating new single, ‘WTF. ‘ The song delves further into their own cinematic universe.

Fresh from a breakout performance at Shiprocked Festival last week alongside the likes of Parkway Drive, Nothing More, The Ghost Inside, Kid Kapichi and more, they’re setting the start of the year alight with the new single produced by Pendulum’s Gareth McGrillen along with Mazare and Calva Louise’ Jess Allanic.

The video is set in January 1994, and ‘WTF’ introduces the protagonist, Louise, who is experiencing bizarre happenings inside her home. Set in the universe laid out in their previous singles, Louise encounters a feeling of dread signalling danger: someone is inside her home and stalking her.

She catches glimpses of what has been stalking her: an uncanny version of herself, her “double.” We follow her as terror and courage take hold as she experiences a glitch through reality: the real world is not what she had been told. Aligning herself with those circumstances, she voluntarily accepts contact with her double, exclaiming, “WTF!”

Talking about the song, Jess Allanic says, “‘WTF’ is about that feeling of powerlessness that occurs when we are in situations beyond our control. Even being stoic or positive is not enough to withstand and face the challenges thrown at us, but at the same time, we don’t want to completely give up. The song deals with that limbo of falling apart while not wanting to succumb to nihilism. It’s an angry cry at whatever forces are listening, asking: “WTF am I meant to do?”

Rockshots Records and Lay Of The Autumn proudly present the official music video for ‘Thrown Away’, one of the standout tracks from their debut album Of Love And Sorrow released on October 25.

A striking blend of Symphonic Power Metal, cinematic soundscapes, and electronic elements, ‘Thrown Away’ explores struggle, catharsis, and empowerment themes. The song is driven by intense riffs, soaring melodies, and fast, intricate guitar and keyboard solos, complemented by ERIA’s evocative vocal performance, which captures vulnerability and strength.

Electro-emo angst-pop trio AIR DRAWN DAGGER have released new track ‘Apparitions’ featuring Tobi Duncan from Trash Boat. It’s the second track from their upcoming debut album A Guide For Apparitions set for release on April 4 via Long Branch Records. The accompanying music video, directed by Aaran McKenzie (While She Sleeps), also features an appearance from the Trash Boat frontman.

“A return to big guitar riffs, it’s time to take accountability for the mess we’re in or accept our fate. On the other side of this song is an element of the hurt, and sometimes anger, you feel once you realise you’ve outgrown areas of your life and belief systems you held onto for so long. Relish in letting go of what no longer serves you, they’ll have to cross realms if they want to reach you. Featuring Tobi from Trash Boat, we knew this breakdown was the heaviest point of the album, the fight scene, the crescendo; and required an extra element to complete this track,” says the band on the new track.

New York-based band DEADLANDS, who joined the Spinefarm roster in 2024, are kicking off 2025 with a vicious new track. Now, the band has shared the video for new single ‘Kundalini,’ which is a complete collaboration with The Pretty Wild.

“When we started writing ‘Kundalini,’ everything just felt so natural. CJ [Arey] and I walked into the studio and instantly clicked with The Pretty Wild girls (Jyl and Jules), and of course, Andrew (Wade) the producer. From the very start, there was an incredible synergy, and we got right down to business. In just two days, we had created something truly special. The experience was infused with divine, feminine energy, and it was nothing short of inspiring,” says Deadlands singer Kasey Karlsen.

She continues, “I’m beyond thankful to have worked alongside such brilliant and badass women. Jyl and Jules brought their unique artistry and creativity to the table, elevating the song to a whole new level. CJ and I were also blown away by Andrew’s immense talent — his contribution was extraordinary, and we’d love to collaborate with him again in the future.”

Karlsen finishes, “‘Kundalini’ is Deadlands’ first-ever collaboration, and it’s an honor to have teamed up with The Pretty Wild.”

Jules from The Pretty Wild also offers a look into the song, saying, “‘Kundalini’ represents the primal, divine energy waiting to awaken, and that untamed force became the heartbeat of this song, a surge of calling out toxic femininity, empowerment, and transformation. We loved channeling that metal-physical edge, stitching together the spiritual and the brutal. Collaborating with Deadlands was an unforgettable journey, and we all poured everything into this beast, we can’t wait to unleash it live.”

Laurenne/Louhimo – the collaboration between powerhouse Finnish vocalists Noora Louhimo (Battle Beast) and Netta Laurenne (Smackbound) – announce the release of their sophomore album Falling Through Stars, set for release on April 18, via Frontiers Music Srl. The first single and accompanying video, ‘Damned’, are also available now.

Netta Laurenne said: “Falling Through Stars is our second collaborative album with Noora, and it gave us the opportunity to step in and out of our comfort zones to meet halfway. We had a great time writing and recording the album, which I co-produced with my husband, Nino Laurenne”.

“This album takes us on a journey through both the past and future of metal. We’ve aimed to incorporate styles, instruments, and emotions spanning from the ’70s to the present day. It’s a dynamic album that showcases both raw power and delicate moments, and we’re excited to share it with everyone”, she added.

Netta also described the new single: “’Damned’ is our first single release, and it represents the most classic style of melodic metal and hard rock on the album. Full of energy and attitude, we wanted to create a video that shows us performing alongside the musicians who played on the album. The song explores the struggles of battling inner demons, depression and self-doubt – while also capturing the determination to rise above them.”

After the excellent reception of the previous album S.A.V.E., whose lyrics were centered on the deadly sins and theological virtues, the Italian melodic metal band MARBLE returns to the scene with a new, even more, compact and more ambitious album, the third seal of the band from Mortara (North Italy). T.I.M.E. revolves around female characters in the history of Western theatre, marking the time in the stylistic evolution of stage performances, starting with the ancient Greek tragedy of Euripides, passing through the British theatre of William Shakespeare, to the Russian social revolution of Anton Čechov, and on to the modern American theatre of Samuel Beckett. Now, the band presents their first single, ‘Theater Is My Essence’, which is the song that creates the acronym of the album title. It is a very rhythmic song with a heavy guitar sound but with a symphonic and piano arrangement that adds depth to the piece. Eleonora sings about her relationship with the theater, as she has also been an actress for a very long time, how the theater has been her lifeline and escape route and has allowed her to finally be herself wearing the masks of the characters on stage. The growls performed on the track are by guest Clode of the doom metal band Tethra.

FROZEN CROWN have announced a new album! Titled War Hearts, the upcoming album from the Italian power metal band is the follow-up to last year’s Call Of The North, and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Napalm Records. Alongside the announcement of the new album, FROZEN CROWN have released a new music video for a new song lifted from the upcoming album; ‘Steel And Gold’. Speaking about the new song, and its accompanying music video, the band says, “we’re extremely excited to have the ‘Steel And Gold’ official video finally released via Napalm Records. This is the fulfillment of years of hard work, as well as a fresh start! This video doesn’t deviate from the usual FROZEN CROWN style, it just consolidates it. Very often, our videos have been labeled as ‘just a bunch of people having the time of their lives playing metal in some beautiful scenery… plus a lot of hair’. We must say, we totally agree! This time, though, the beautiful scenery is the gorgeous Castello dei Doria, in Dolceacqua, Liguria, in northwestern Italy, and the ‘bunch of people’ is just one more person on guitar, adding firepower (and hair) to the ensemble. Steel And Gold is a song about loyalty, integrity and self improvement. It’s about remaining true to your ideals and about the search for unattainable perfection.” [via Distorted Sound]

Shamanic UK alternative metal collective CRIMSON VEIL string the bow of anticipation even further. As they barrel toward their debut album Hex, due out on September 20 via Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM), the quartet conjured the fourth single which literally spellbinds fans with its haunting lyrics and music video. ‘Ribbons’ is a song firmly rooted in the shadows that lie at the heart of CRIMSON VEIL, completed by lead singer Mishkin‘s writing about when too many choices in life can actually become restrictions. CRIMSON VEIL explain, “This metaphor is brought to life through a Shibari-themed music video that sees the band tied in different rope positions and suspended, mid-air, in cages. Accompanying this striking scene is a backdrop of dreamy, ethereal metal that drifts from delicate melodies into a heavy crescendo.” [via Heavy Mag]

Nightwish have released new single ‘The Day Of….’ The symphonic and choir-stacked track, out now, is the second taste of the Finnish band’s upcoming album Yesterwynde, which will be released on September 20 via Nuclear Blast.
