PULP RELEASE NEW SINGLE "GOT TO HAVE LOVE"
“‘Love’ is a word I was unable to say until I was approaching 40”, explains Jarvis Cocker,
“I listened to love songs all the time but couldn’t use the word in real life. The words to this song are me having a word with myself about this state of affairs. I gave myself a real talking-to.
I have now learnt how to say it whilst keeping a straight face. ‘You’ve got to have love’. Oh yes you have.”
The song offers a second taste of the new record – the band’s first in almost 24 years, released on 6 June – following their acclaimed return with Spike Island in April.
“It’s a slightly hysterical song that tries to talk about love as I see it now,” Jarvis Cocker reveals of the track, which seems destined for immediate live anthem status when the band kick off their UK & Ireland Arena tour in June
including a full North American tour – later this year.
FALLING IN REVERSE & MARILYN MANSON IN NEW SONG

THE BLACK KEYS, DETAILS OF NEW ALBUM + NEW SINGLE
Earlier this year, the Black Keys announced the No Rain, No Flowers Tour. Soon after, they released the singles
“The Night Before” and “Babygirl.” Now, Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney have announced the new album
No Rain, No Flowers. The duo’s follow-up to 2024’s Ohio Players is out August 8.
The Black Keys produced No Rain, No Flowers, and they worked on it with Rick Nowels, Daniel Tashian, and Scott Storch. “I had worked with Rick Nowels on Lana Del Rey’s Ultraviolence,” Auerbach said in a statement. “We’d never really collaborated with a keyboard player or someone who writes on piano the way he does, but it clicked immediately.”
Carney added, “We wanted to go straight to the source—into the room with people known for their songwriting.
Daniel Tashian was one of the first people I met after moving to Nashville, and we’ve been fans of Scott Storch forever.”
VOLBEAT SHARE NEW SINGLE & VIDEO "TIME WILL HEAL"
Volbeat will release their ninth album, God Of Angels Trust, on June 6.
The track is a supremely catchy, mid-tempo anthem that captures everything you love about Volbeat’s sound.
The visual pairs performance footage with some sanguine-soaked action in a red room. And a G.O.A.T. Literally. Overall, though, it’s an intensely personal track for the band and its frontman.
“Through life, we go through these ups and downs, and sometimes, it’s like turning on a switch and it can change from one minute to another,” says Poulsen. “We suddenly get in a sad, emotional mood where there just doesn’t seem to be a way to see the light or good in anything. But we always find a way to make things good again. I’m good at turning those moments around quickly, but that comes with accepting the good with the bad and using the bad moments to grow and learn instead of letting them bother you more that it should and having your mind manipulate reality.
The important thing is to realize that while nothing can be good forever, do not let the dark side of life take over.
Have the confidence to know there will be better days ahead when we’re dealing with these moments or demons and we’re struggling to find anything good in what we’re doing.”

Lauri wrote the song with revered hit songwriters/producers Marti Frederiksen and Desmond Child.
“It’s about letting go of something that you know is bad for you, but you’re obsessed with.”

Auri thrives on mystery and ambiguity so all is well…”
BATTLE BEAST DEBUT NEW SINGLE "LAST GOODBYE"
Member Eero Sipilä stated excitedly: ”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.”

Both Diablo and Berserk explore themes of good versus evil against a backdrop of terrifying darkness, making this crossover a perfect match for fans.
“The essence that swells in boundless volumes from the juxtaposition of light and darkness, angels and demons, good and evil, the carnal and the spiritual, is the key that seamlessly binds together the aesthetics and narratives of Diablo, Berserk and Beast In Black’’, said Anton Kabanen, guitarist and songwriter on Beast In Black.
MAMMOTH RETURNS WITH INCENDIARY NEW SINGLE "THE END"
“I’ve had the tapping idea on the intro for ‘The End’ since before Mammoth.
I was able to fit it into this world. It’s still over-the-top and shreddy, but it’s also melodic and controlled.
Overall, I was doing some different things on the record, and I knew this was going to be a big step.
Once we finished ‘The End,’ it felt really special to me,” explains Wolfgang Van Halen.
To coincide with the single release, Wolfgang and Mammoth have released a music video for “The End”
that is one for the history books and something rarely seen in music videos anymore.
Wolfgang teamed up with legendary director Robert Rodriguez to do a modern-day interpretation of Rodriguez’s 1996 hit film, From Dusk Till Dawn. The video tells the story of a rock band that is booked to play a show at a dive bar and given an ominous warning from the club owner portrayed by Danny Trejo. Mammoth decides they know better, and things quickly turn dire for the band before a surprising revelation during the final moments tie the complete video lore from the band together. Friends of Mammoth including Slash, Myles Kennedy and Wolfgang’s mother Valerie Bertinelli all show up throughout the short film. Horror effects icon Greg Nicotero offered his talents to the video to create zombies, werewolves and vampires that all bring a deadly end to the attendees of the show.
GHOST DEBUT MUSIC VIDEO FOR "PEACEFIELD"
Ghost, have released the official music video for “Peacefield”, the new single and opening track of the
band’s just released album, Skeletá.
Ghost’s sixth psalm, Skeletá, is its most unflinchingly introspective work to date. Where previous Ghost albums dealt largely with chronicling and/or observing outward facing subject matter such as Impera’s meditations on the rise
and fall of empires and its predecessor Prequelle’s evocations of the ravages of era-defining plagues Skeletá’s
lyrics render the distinct individual emotional vistas of each of its 10 songs in one-on-one fashion, at times as if in a dialogue with oneself in a mirror. The end result is a singular collection of timeless, universal sentiments, all filtered through a prism of a uniquely personal point of view.
HALESTORM RELEVEAL NEW SINGLE "DARKNESS ALWAYS WINS"
Halestorm, have unveiled “Darkness Always Wins”, a slow-building, cinematic rock anthem that marks the band’s
first release of 2025. The song, produced by Dave Cobb (Chris Stapleton, Brandi Carlile, Jason Isbell)
is the first to be revealed from a new album.
“‘Darkness Always Wins’ is not a song of hope, nor is it a song of despair,” says Halestorm frontwoman Lzzy Hale.
“It is reality. History repeating. Evil prevails and the good depart first. But we are not doomed as long as we persist and keep our fires burning. The war may not be won in this lifetime. But our mission is to pass the torch
so that those who follow have a light to fight with.”
SABATON RELEASE NEW SINGLE "TEMPLARS"
“’Templars’ is the first song we wrote for our forthcoming album and it truly brings out the theatrical side of Sabaton,” says bassist Pär Sundström. “From the moment we started working on it, we were overflowing with ideas on how to bring it to life on stage. We didn’t just want to play it—we wanted to show it!”
The video for “Templars” presents a fictionalized depiction of a possible last stand for the Knights Templar.
The band members take on the roles of the last remaining Templars, sworn to protect the secrets of their order.
The story unfolds as the Templars intercept a letter warning them of their impending arrest for heresy. Soon after, an enemy army arrives on their doorstep demanding their surrender on behalf of King Philip IV of France. Refusing to yield, the Templars choose to fight to the bitter end. One by one, they fall in battle until only a single warrior remains. In a final, desperate clash, he defeats the enemy commander before retreating to the keep. There, he makes the ultimate sacrifice, setting fire to the stronghold to ensure the secrets of the order are lost to history.
