Ukrainian metal juggernauts JINJER unleash their brand new single 'Rogue', showing once more their refusal to conform to the musical genre rule book.

The ferocity of vocalist Tatiana Shmayluk combined with a sonic rollercoaster of chugging riffs, pulverizing bass lines and intricate drums makes JINJER’s upcoming outputs some of the most anticipated in heavy music. 'Rogue' is another raging reminder that JINJER never minces words when it comes to their music and always keep the pressure on with each new release. 

JINJER comment on 'Rogue': ““Our new single ‘Rogue’ is a reaction to many things … it’s brutally honest, it’s in-your-face and one of the most intense tracks JINJER has ever released. We are so excited about this new track, about the new album and everything that‘s on the way ….”

Over the past 15 years, JINJER have attained remarkable milestones, touring globally and captivating millions at prestigious festivals. They’ve headlined sold-out shows across Europe and North America, and have thrilled audiences in destinations like Dubai, Philippines, Türkiye, Japan and South Africa. As they continue their journey this year, JINJER are set to make a major impact on the music scene. The relentlessly hard-working outfit will kick off with appearances at several European festivals this summer, followed by a headline tour across North America. Additionally, JINJER will support Sepultura in Europe and conclude their tour with a headline run through Latin America.

Previously unreleased Klaus Schulze album 101, MILKY WAY coming 15th November

For more than 50 years, the composer, musician and producer Klaus Schulze paved a way for avant-garde, ambient music, with his extensive sounds and legendary sequences.

In close consultation with the relatives of the electronic legend, who passed away in 2022, his label home at SPV is now revisiting the archives of the master of the Moog synthesiser. 101, MILKY WAY will be the first release of this renewed collaboration, coming 15th November (SPV Recordings).

101, MILKY WAY is a real treasure from Klaus Schulze's musical legacy. It is one of those Klaus Schulze works that absolutely needed to be presented to the world, and as such it is part of our obligation to share all of his music with all of you. And of course the genesis of this album - as always - has its very own history.

It all began at the end of 2008 with an enquiry from a German film production company asking if Klaus would perhaps create the score for a planned film documentary about computer hackers. In the end, this turned into a complete Klaus Schulze album, from which the director of the documentary film Hacker - Alex Biedermann - was only to use small parts as soft background music.

With 101, MILKY WAY, the complete work created in 2009 is now available for the first time - a greeting from Klaus' new cosmic home somewhere in the universe.
 
Pre-order 101, MILKY WAY here: https://klausschulze.lnk.to/101milkyway

"Klaus Schulze’s music has never been as relevant as it is now. The world has finally caught up with a true pioneer. More than ever is Klaus’ work the perfect balance between the soul and technology. Electrons as messengers of romance. Acute and profound understanding of electronics as conduits of all things human. A master, an influence and influencer on countless others, still connecting us all with a deep sense of humanity and mystery." 
Hans Zimmer,  December 2021

74 year old composer, musician and producer Klaus Schulze, born in Berlin, was known all over the world as the pioneer of electronic music and master of the Moog synthesiser. He shaped the 'Berlin School' and is the forefather of innumerable electronic music styles and genres. The ‘godfather of Techno Music' – as he was fondly called by some internationally-known DJs and remixers – rolled out his extensive sounds, played his legendary sequences and created his unique 'Schulze atmosphere' for more than 50 years. Beginning with Tangerine Dream and Ash Ra Tempel, Klaus created over 50 solo albums, including Irrlich, Mirage, X, Dune, Farscape, Kontinuum, Silhouettes, and lastly Deus Arrakis. Creating either under the moniker of Richard Wahnfried or in his various collaborations with great artists like Arthur Brown, Michael Shrieve, Rainer Bloss, Lisa Gerrard or lately Hans ZimmerKlaus Schulze always remained faithful to his unmistakable style of making music, while keeping an open mind for innovations and experiments. 

101, MILKY WAY will be available as 2LP Gatefold Edition incl. black 180g vinyl and LP insert, CD Edition in a digipak, stream and download.

101 Milky Way Tracklisting:

1 INFINITY 14:50
2 ALPHA 04:59

Wrestling and heavy metal come together for the Lucha Britannia and Slay Duggee - Xmas Slaycation

Lucha Britannia and Slay Duggee announce Xmas Slaycation - The "greatest afternoon of all-ages heavy metal and wrestling action in the history of the world" hosted at indigo at the O2 on 28th December 2024.

A new family-friendly package combines the greatest entertainers from the worlds of grappling and metal music; a fully integrated live heavy metal and high-flying wrestling show featuring mystery masked performers. Attendees will experience:

-    High-flying wrestling from Lucha Britannia with 14 masked wrestlers
-    Family-friendly live heavy metal from Slay Duggee
-    An inclusive show for all ages
-    Wrestling, metal, comedy, dancing

The event promo video descends into bedlam when the two entertainment empires disagree over who the ‘real headliner’ is. A taster of the high energy madness to come at the event.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/JBj0_NZYr04

Lucha Britannia - women wrestle men, men wrestle ducks, fish wrestle Gods.

Lucha Britannia top dog Vanderhorne is no stranger to combining music and grappling. He previously promoted RAMWA (Rock and Metal Wrestling Action) that combined live metal and wrestling. Orange Goblin and Mallory Knox both played early gigs as part of these memorable events.

Vanderhorne’s masked luchadores have been entertaining crowds for over a decade at events including Download Festival and Soccer AM. And Lucha Britannia was part of Will Ospreay’s wrestling journey to world domination with AEW. Now they’ll find a new audience with this unique collaboration.

Slay Duggee - five dogs that play hardcore metal versions of family favourites and kids theme tunes. 

Slay Duggee return for their first show since a triumphant summer playing to 9000 metalheads at Download Festival, partying on stage with Download Do and replacing their drummer with 9-year old drum prodigy Caleb H Drummer at Teddy Rocks. Slay Duggee were also the heaviest performance at this year’s Kendal Calling

Expect to hear songs like 'Baby Shark', 'Stick', 'Bluey', 'Spongebob Squarepants' and 'I’m Still Standing' as Slay Duggee teach kids and parents how to headbang, pogo, and create increasingly complicated geometric shapes of mosh pit.

Throughout the show there will be opportunities for the crowd to meet all performers for signings, selfies and headlocks.

Vanderhorne, creator of Lucha Britannia commented: "This may well be the greatest coming together of two epic entities this country has ever seen!"

Black Shuck, singer Slay Duggee commented“The moment we saw that wrestling duck we knew that we needed to collaborate. Dogs and ducks are natural friends. We present absolutely no danger to duck wrestlers *wink*”

Jerry Bakewell, "Britain's least successful Mexican wrestler" commented: "It's ridiculous, outrageous and mildly dangerous...Lucha Britannia & Slay Duggee combined will be a once in a lifetime, not to be missed explosive spectacular extravaganza!"

Mütley Crüz, guitarist Slay Duggee commented: “Prepare for the greatest three hours of entertainment humankind has ever witnessed.”

"Lucha Britannia has everything! The excitement, the thrills, the spills, the involvement with the crowd will blow you away! If Monty Python with Muscles had a love child with Bruce Lee & the Muppets, You'd be close, but it has to be seen to be believed!"
Jonathan Ross, Lucha Britannia superfan, TV host and broadcaster

PATRIARKH, Formerly Batushka, unveil new band name

Photo Credit: Jacek Jaca Wisniewsky

Founded in 2018 by mastermind and lead vocalist Bartłomiej "Варфоломей" Krysiuk and propelled by their critically acclaimed album, Hospodi, and relentless touring around the globe, the Polish Orthodox black metal icons formerly known as Batushka have revealed their brand new band name, PATRIARKH.

Originally founded by Krzysztof Drabikowski in 2015, Batushka released their successful first album, Litourgiya, with vocals handled by Bartłomiej "Варфоломей" Krysiuk. Three years later, the band split up and both parties decided to keep going with the same name, until a legal dispute resulted in Krysiuk recently changing his band’s name.

PATRIARKH is finally free from litigation, and with a clear and fresh vision, the new band looks towards a bright future. Deeply rooted in Eastern Orthodox tradition and music, PATRIARKH combine black and doom metal and ushers in a new era with outstanding, ominous religious schemas that conceal their identities amid remarkable liturgies with their fans. 

Conveying the spirit of true patriarchs and Orthodox sacredness, the band just returned from an intensive run through Latin America. PATRIARKH will soon possess European audiences on their “Prophecy” tour, wrapping up their last shows in Poland before heading to 28 cities in 13 countries. The final Batushka show will take place on 13th December in Melbourne, Australia. 

PATRIARKH states:

“DEAR PILGRIMS, FANS, AND FRIENDS! 

"As you may have noticed over the past few weeks, we have been spreading the word about our latest concerts in various parts of the world. The time has come for which we have been preparing for the past few weeks – a time of FINAL CHANGES. 
Over the past two years, we have been working on new music, a new album, and a new stage. It has cost us a lot of sacrifices and effort. Along with the new musical stage, we have decided to embrace a new chapter of the band under a completely new name. This is also the perfect time for all your attention to be focused on our music and what we have to say through it, rather than on legal or personal struggles that have plagued our minds like a cancer. 

"Now that we see how important it is for many people to discredit our hard work and divert attention from what really matters, our MUSIC, we have decided to lift this burden so as not to negate our efforts. We want to completely disassociate ourselves from all of this, change the band's name entirely, and start a new chapter for ourselves as individuals and for the band. 

"On the other hand, we appreciate how many people value us, the dedicated fans we have all over the world, and how much we owe to you. Therefore, we want to bury all negative emotions, disputes, and dramas along with the old name
Batushka

"With new music and a new name, we aim to set a new direction and begin a new story. A story that we hope you will join us in building together worldwide because without you, our Pilgrims, it doesn't make sense! 

"The change will not happen overnight, this phase will last until the end of the year. In the meantime, prepare for new music, a new image, and a new quality of performances that we want to introduce along with the new music.

"December 13th will be a symbolic date. In Melbourne, Australia, the final farewell concert of
Batushka will take place, and we will collectively bury this stage during the last liturgy. 

"Right after the new year, with the new publication,
PATRIARKH will be born. The patriarch, along with the new covenant, will begin his reign and send his Prophet into the world! 

"Anticipate the blessing of your new
PATRIARKH and the new Great Orthodoxies!”

Prog group Aisles return with new single and new singer

Photo Credit: Ignacio Gálvez

After more than a year of searching, prog rock group Aisles welcome their singer, Boris Seeder, with their new single 'The Dream'.

Stream 'The Dream' here: https://ffm.to/the-dream

"This single was developed after all our lineup changes for the last year or so", says Germán Vergara, Aisles’ guitarist and producer. "When Boris joined, he brought new colours to the melodies, which we really enjoyed and thought were ideal for this new process we are living as a band." 

Boris replaces vocalist Israel Gil, who stepped down as frontman of Aisles in 2023.
 
'The Dream' was produced by Germán Vergara, mixed by Fernando Cubillos, mastered by GRAMMY award-nominated producer & mix engineer Jacob Hansen (Vola, Arch Enemy, Katatonia, among many more), and the artwork was created by the Chilean design studio Medu1a. The track brings up the notion of never letting go of your dreams, and it was written after the creative process of their previous album, Beyond Drama (2023), with a strident heaviness inspired by Muse and Leprous.

The track is available on all streaming platforms through Presagio Records.

Aisles’ new vocalist, Boris, is a music teacher and experienced singer who has performed with musicians such as Bobby Kimball (Toto), Eric Martin (Mr. Big) and with Brazilian heavy metal band Angra. “I’m happy to join Aisles, a band that is so consolidated, real and challenging. Aisles motivate me to grow constantly but also to trust in my own instinct.” After an intense audition process that included men and women of different musical backgrounds, Boris was chosen because of his discipline and talent, and because he shares the same work ethic with the band.

Aisles, formed also by Juan Pablo Gaete (keyboards, synth), Daniel Concha (bass), and Alvaro Poblete (drums) are working on new songs that will be released soon, taking a turn towards a heavier sound with a substantial use of sequences. 'The Dream' marks the beginning of a new era in the band, and it is the first piece of original material released by the group since 'Bahamut', in June, 2023.

Having released five highly acclaimed studio albums, progressive rock band Aisles have created an unparalleled musical approach that combines intricate melodies and sonic openness. They have toured the Americas, Europe, and performed with prog legends Marillion, Focus, and Riverside.
 
In 2005, Aisles released their debut album, The Yearning, recognised for its elegant and delicate melodic work. In 2009, their second album, In Sudden Walks, inspired by existential literature and by theatre, was nominated for Best Foreign Record at the Prog Awards in Italy. Their third record, 4:45 AM (2013) was ranked among the best albums of that year in numerous publications specialised in progressive rock.
 
Their fourth studio album, Hawaii (2016), a conceptual double album that narrates the life of humanity in space after the destruction of the Earth, was called a “masterpiece”. The success of the album allowed Aisles to tour in Europe, the United States and Mexico.
 
In 2018, they released the EP Live from Estudio del Sur, complemented by four live-recorded videos available on YouTube. The band released their fifth album, Beyond Drama, on April 5, 2023, after the departure of three members and the reconfiguration of the group. On June 30, 2023, they released the instrumental suite Bahamut, inspired by the science fiction novel of the same name written by Chilean author Francisco Ortega. On August, 2024, they released the single 'The Dream', introducing the new singer Boris Seeder.

Swedish progressive metal band Allt stream new single 'Echoes'

Photo Credit: Aslak Junttu @grimvisions

Swedish progressive metalcore alchemists Allt have released 'Echoes', one last musical gem from their debut album FromThe New World, set for release on 4th October via Century Media Records.

Directed by Tuomas Kurikka, watch the video for 'Echoes' here: https://youtu.be/CpSO7Gtuv1k

Stream 'Echoes' here: https://alltband.lnk.to/Echoes-Single

Pre-order FromThe New World here: https://alltband.lnk.to/FromTheNewWorld-Bio

With 'Echoes', Allt reveal an ace that they had up their sleeves. Arguably one of the most mesmerising tracks on the upcoming album, 'Echoes' is the perfect cliffhanger for everyone looking forward to dive into the musical dystopia that is From The New World.

The band comment: "We believe that music should be authentic, not heavy just for the sake of being heavy. With 'Echoes', we explore a softer side of our sound, demonstrating that we are never afraid to try new things. 'Echoes' reflects the struggle of letting go of something or someone and the difficulty of accepting the permanence of certain situations. As the release date of From The New World rapidly approaches, sharing 'Echoes' with the world marks a significant milestone for us.”

Vocalist Robin Malmgren comments: “A softer track like 'Echoes' needs a vocal delivery that fits. Recording the vocals for this track was a challenging process; getting the balance right took a lot of time, but I think we nailed it. Along with the rest of the singles, it serves as a strong showcase of the album’s range—there’s still much more to be revealed.”

From The New World will be out 4th October via Century Media Records and is available for pre-order. The 10-track album is a sonic testimony of a post-nuclear world, exploring both the chaos and stillness that follows.

The band share about the album: "We are beyond excited to finally announce our debut album, From The New World. This album is the product of two years of hard work, writing, world-building, and growth, and on October 4th, it will finally be yours to enjoy.

"When we started working on the album, we were struck by how the world seemed on edge, with all these tensions and fears about the future. So, we got into the idea of exploring what happens after everything falls apart. Each track is its own story, showing different sides of loss, hope, and that stubborn spirit that keeps people pushing forward. The album has got a cosmic twist, too. We were drawn to the Fermi paradox, that big question of why it feels like we're alone in the universe with all these stars and planets. The album asks if we can still connect and if there's room for human bonds in an upside-down world.

"What makes this album truly unique is the time we spent isolated in a cabin deep in the forest. This retreat allowed us to immerse ourselves in the creative process, away from distractions and surrounded by the quiet of nature.
From The New World is a journey, and we're inviting everyone to join us."

Following the album release, Allt head out as support on Imminence’s “The Black Tour”, alongside Aviana.

Finnish hair-metalcore eccentrics One Morning Left are back with a bang as they announce their highly anticipated new album, Neon Inferno, set for release on 25th October via Arising Empire. The album promises to be a high-octane blend of the band’s signature sound with fresh, electrifying elements, including a guest feature from Olli Herman of Reckless Love.

To give fans a taste of what’s to come, One Morning Left have dropped their latest single, 'Michael, The Knight'. The track pays homage to the iconic Knight Rider television show, weaving in nostalgic synths with the band’s fierce energy.

Pre-order the album here: https://arisingempire.com/neoninferno

It's a dynamic fusion of 80s vibes and modern metalcore that fans are sure to love. In addition to the single, pre-orders for Neon Inferno are now live, offering fans exclusive bundles and limited-edition merchandise. With the album’s release just around the corner, this is shaping up to be one of the band’s most ambitious and buzzworthy projects yet.

Founded in 2008 in Vaasa, Finland, One Morning Left are well known for their unique blend of electro, hardcore and metalcore influences, as well as their entertaining and energetic live shows where absolutely anything can happen.

One Morning Left's fourth album, Hyperactive, marked their first new material in five years and began a whole new chapter in their story. Drawing inspiration from retro electronic and video game music, as well as 80s hard rock, the band stayed true to their heavier roots while exploring fresh musical territories.

Now, the band are set to continue this evolution with their upcoming album, Neon Inferno. This new album promises to build on the foundation laid by Hyperactive, further blending their eclectic influences into a high-energy, genre-defying sound.

Changes have occurred not only in their musical style but also in their lineup. Returning from the cast of 2016’s Metalcore Superstars are frontman Mika Lahti, singer-guitarist Leevi Luoto, and drummer Niko Hyttinen. Additional firepower is provided by new members Tuukka Ojansivu on guitar and Miska Sipiläinen on bass guitar, along with the return of keyboard player Touko Keippilä from the band’s original Panda <3 Penguin lineup.

With Neon Inferno, the band invite fans to join them on their quest to make the world a bit more epic.

Leevi Luoto | Guitar & Lead Vocals

KK's Priest release video for 'The Sinner Rides Again'

This past Saturday at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go in Los Angeles, CA, heavy metal kings KK’s Priest - featuring Judas Priest alum and GRAMMY Award winning/nominated musicians K.K. Downing (guitar) and Tim “Ripper” Owens (vocals) - and Teutonic metal originators Accept kicked off the most iconic metal tour of the season. The tour is stopping in a slew of major cities in the USA and Canada before coming to an end in San Francisco, CA on 7th October.

Today, in celebration of the tour's kickoff, KK’s Priest have revealed a brand new music video for their latest album's title track, 'The Sinner Rides Again'. Featuring mythical, dark fantasy imagery, astonishing, soaring vocals by Tim “Ripper” Owens and high flying guitar solos from K.K. Downing and A.J. Mills - who together are redefining the seminal metal guitar duo for a new generation - the video enters the band's catalog as one of their most epic to date.

In 2023, KK’s Priest unveiled their blistering sophomore offering, The Sinner Rides Again, to rave reviews. Blabbermouth dubbed it "an absolutely ripping metal record", while Paste stated, "…with all respect to Rob Halford and co., nothing they’ve produced in recent years feels as dynamic and as heavy as the material that their former guitarist has been forging with his project KK’S PRIEST." The album debuted at #1 on the US Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Top New Artist Albums chart and #6 on the Current Rock Albums chart. The Sinner Rides Again also landed at #6 on the end of year NACC Heavy radio chart, while resulting as one of the top spun albums of the year at Metal Contraband.

With The Sinner Rides Again, KK’s Priest double down on the ripping melodic force of their debut, Sermons Of The Sinner - which Metal Hammer UK dubbed “hugely enjoyable” and Metal Injection cited as boasting “catchy hooks and plenty of guitar wizardry”. The Sinner Rides Again wields nine tracks of pure hellfire, produced and written by Downing and mixed/mastered by Jacob Hansen. The celebrated new album is a call for the classics while speeding full force into the future, delivered by some of heavy metal’s most essential performers.
