SOEN RELEASE NEW SINGLE "PRIMAL" + ALBUM
Soen announces their forthcoming new studio album, Reliance, set for release on January 16.
The first single, “Primal”, is a provoking, barrel-chested roar detailing the existential fight between the human spirit and our current world, with Ekelöf’s incredible vocals leading the heavy charge.
Founding member and drummer Martin Lopez comments: “’Primal’ is a song that came from a place of frustration with the world we’re living in. The corruption, the division and the suffocating grip that technology has on all of us.
It’s heavy and straight to the point, built on riffs and raw energy, but it also opens up into a chorus that feels hopeful,
like a reminder that light can still break through the dark.”
“For us, it’s about more than just aggression,” continues Ekelöf. “It’s about encouraging people to find that fire again,
to reconnect with passion, and to take those steps out of the darkness together.”

BEYOND THE BLACK RELEASE VIDEO FOR "THE ART OF BEING ALONE"
Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK are excited to share the third single from their eagerly awaited upcoming studio album, Break The Silence, which is due to be released on January 9th, 2026.
The emotional anthem 'The Art Of Being Alone' features none other than Chris Harms of acclaimed German metal band Lord Of The Lost on guest vocals, and lyrically deals with important contemporary issues such as mental health, self-empowerment and positive life perception. A video that has been released alongside the single illustrates the feeling of being alone and cornered, but towards the end, it shows the path to self-awareness and ultimately,
a way out of this mental prison.
Singer Jennifer Haben commented:
“‘The Art Of Being Alone’ is one of the most emotional songs for us since it‘s born from personal battles and quiet reflections. We wanted it to be fragile and powerful at the same time and we believe many of you will find your own story between its lines. Having Chris Harms join us with his uniquely intense voice and personality felt absolutely perfect
and brought a depth to this track that made it even more special.”
Chris Harms (Lord Of The Lost) added:
"This duet was long overdue! For more than 10 years now, LORD OF THE LOST and BEYOND THE BLACK have been crossing paths we like and appreciate each other and it was kind of obvious that Jenny’s and my voices would work great together. Now we’ve finally made it happen and created this powerful, goosebump-inducing song together!
I’m really happy about it!"
SMASHING PUMKINS RELEASE NEW MUSIC
“Chrome Jets” is a crunchy riff-jam with a direct connection to ’70s boogie-metal, as well as some glassy synth action. The song comes from the Aghori Mhori Mei sessions, but it hasn’t been released before today.
Billy Corgan is selling a 12″ vinyl single of the song, backed with a live B-side cover of U2’s “Zoo Station,”
through his Madame Zuzu’s tea shop.
THE RASMUS RELEASE "WEIRDO" ALBUM+ MUSIC VIDEO
Finnish rock outfit, The Rasmus, have released their 11th studio album, Weirdo.
“I find it comforting that our 11th album, Weirdo, has pretty much the same message as on our first album released in 1996,” explains frontman Lauri Ylönen. “It is to defend and praise the ones who are different from the masses and proudly being themselves as they are. It has been our philosophy from the very beginning.”
Ylönen further explains the power behind being a “weirdo.” “In this society I’ve always felt that I’ve had to prove myself for being the way I am or doing the things I do. I’ve always felt like an outsider not fitting the norm.
I’ve been called a weirdo, misfit and a freak. That used to make me angry but not anymore. It’s become my source of strength and confidence. I’ve realized the power of it. All the people I find exciting and inspiring are somehow strange. We, the Weirdos, unite and feed off people’s judging attitudes. The fact is they’re just afraid of us.
Afraid of our capability to create new and change the future. Are you a Weirdo? Join us…”
The Rasmus is excited to share the title track with their legions of fans, especially since they teamed up with
The Funeral Portrait singer Lee Jennings for the song.
LACUNA COIL RELEASE "IN NOMINE PATRIS"
“Once we decided to make a lyric video for the song ‘In Nomine Patris’, we thought we should use the opportunity to bring some of Roberto Toderico’s drawings to life”, says Andrea Ferro (vocals). “He did such an amazing job in designing the art for Sleepless Empire that it would deserve a complete animated version of the whole album! Obviously, we can only do so much and we’ve opted for this specific song that’s been striking so many people’s hearts. It’s a song about facing the fear of being influenced by things much bigger than us, that we can’t totally comprehend or that we think we’re not ready to face, something we consider sacred in a way.
We need to take it one step at the time, day by day…it takes time to build an empire.”
“The new year will finally see us go back to the Middle East, Australia and Asia, we can’t wait to bring the new songs and also the classic LC tunes. We don’t get to visit very often but whenever we travel there, it’s always very special,
it feels like a journey into ourselves, it reminds us of how great and diverse the world is and how much music
unites us all even in these weird times.
DREAM THEATER RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR "BEND THE CLOCK"

The track from the quartet, shows the band is back and ready to pick up where they left off in 2023.
The brooding track begins with the signature guitar tones of Kennedy and Tremonti before the rhythm section of Marshall and Phillips join in. The chorus is powered by Kennedy’s haunting descent as he sings:
“Keep your head down, ride out the silent divide.”
A music video for “Silent Divide” is also available today that the band has been teasing for days. A comedic opening skit was released of Tremonti, Marshall, and Phillips calling Kennedy’s mom to get the band back together as Myles hangs in his mom’s basement. That scene gives way to a performance of the four guys playing together in a small room – a throwback to the way it all started for them. The video was directed by JT Ibanez.

Following OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 the opening chapter of their ambitious album trilogy released this past August the band continues to push boundaries showcasing once again their unrivaled versatility with its second installment, OPVS NOIR Vol. 2.
Chris Harms about “Raveyard”: “Käärijä was our band’s internal Eurovision favorite in 2023. We embraced the Eurovision motto United By Music not only during the contest itself, but also beyond. Our friendship with Käärijä is rooted in the fact that both he and Lord Of The Lost are constantly dancing between genres a spirit that shines through in the stylistic rollercoaster of ‘Raveyard’!”
Käärijä adds: “It was an honor to do a song with my German brothers I hope we can perform this song live soon because the song is fire!”

AVATAR RELEASE NEW SINGLE + ALBUM IN OCTOBER
The band is thrilled to announce the thoroughly fitting October 31 release of their latest masterwork,
Don’t Go In The Forest.
“It has become a necessity to me over the years to be able to answer one question: Why is this important? It can’t be just another album. We need to discover something, try something else. It has to come from the heart. What is being said matters,” says vocalist Eckerström regarding the release of single “Tonight We Must Be Warriors.” He continues, “In days of isolation and despair, maybe we need to be reminded that we are not alone? We are one of many. Maybe we also need a reminder that the burden is on our shoulders? To get it done, we need to do the fighting ourselves.”
He finishes, “In our shared pain, we find solidarity.”
HELLOWEEN SHARE NEW SINGLE + ALBUM
The long-awaited record will certainly be celebrated by the Pumpkinheads around the world on the band’s upcoming “40 Years Anniversary Tour.”
The global tour will be more than exciting for the fans with a career-spanning set list and a brand-new live show, starting in Europe this autumn and followed by tours in Asia, North and Latin America.
The album release is accompanied by a 90’s MTV style music video with “A Little Is A Little Too Much”.
Under complete banishment of AI, it beams the viewer into a miniature doll house, making the artists not look like monsters, but Giants indeed. Playing with optical illusions, the video captivates eyes, ears, and all other senses with Helloween’s trademark sense of humor and shows the fun within the band. The song itself is a veritable hit with a hook that carves its way into the fans’ minds and captivates immediately.
Andi Deris comments on the song: “I wanted to write something about the last drop that causes a huge flooding a little is a little too much. The story itself is a bit erotic. It’s about my first experiences when I was a teenager. You always dream about having sex and finally once you have it you realise: Okay, it took one second that something happened that you didn’t want in that moment. And here we go: A little is a little too much, better don’t move or don’t touch.
But in the end, it is about all the minor things that get out of hand with this little bit more, and then it’s a little too much.”
THE HALO EFFECT UNVEIL COVER OF KENT "IF YOU WERE HERE"
The Halo Effect surprise fans with a brand-new release – a cover of the beloved 1997 hit “If You Were Here” by Swedish alternative pop-rock icons Kent (originally released in Swedish as “Om du var här”).
Peter Iwers reflects: “Kent was a band that left a mark on many, weaving together pop rock and synth in a way that deeply moved me. This song remains one of my personal favorites. Out of respect for their artistry, we aimed to create our own version without straying too far from the soul of the original.”
BURNING WITCHES RELEASE NEW SINGLE "SOUL EATER"
Now, the band drops their third single from Inquisition, “Soul Eater”. The all-woman act combines classic heavy metal elements with the energy and drive of ’80s thrash metal, as “Soul Eater” pounds the listener with unrelenting
heavy metal power. Thrashing drums, aggressive riffs, and screeching vocals complement the
memorable chorus within the track.
The band comments: “This is the sound of Burning Witches, which represents our soul, mood and ravenous character in the love of Heavy Metal. Fast, heavy, screamy – just how we like it! So play it as loud as you can, metalheads!”
THE PRETTY RECKLESS RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE
“With For I Am Death, I want the music to speak for itself, allowing the listener to decide what it means to them,” explains vocalist Taylor Momsen. “The interpretation of the song might align with my own, or it might come from the heart of the audience. Either way, I’m excited to see what people take away from it and what it means to them.
Oh, and rock’n’roll will never die.”
