Genrefluid visionaries Lord Of The Lost captivate with their first single, 'My Sanctuary', and its official music video, offering a mesmerising glimpse into their upcoming full-length album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, set for release on 8th August, 2025 via Napalm Records.

With 'My Sanctuary' – and the coming entire OPVS NOIR trilogy as a whole – the #1 charting band return to a much heavier sound compared to their latest hits. Razor-sharp riffs blend seamlessly with gothic harmonies and orchestral grandeur, while Chris Harms' deep baritone vocals create a sonic sanctuary, inviting listeners to embrace their inner darkness.

A work, a transformation, a re-entry into the melancholic self – OPVS NOIR is in no danger of becoming an offspring of understatement, neither in its title nor in its musical opulence. And rightly so: Not only will it be the first album as a six-piece band, but it also marks the beginning of an album trilogy, available in multiple editions, including, of course, strictly limited collector's items. Each volume contains 11 songs, totaling 33 tracks that not only conclude the eccentric chapter of Blood & Glitter, but also initiate an uncompromising return to the dark core of the band. 

Vocalist Chris Harms commented on the new single: “We have 33 songs to choose from, but which one will be the first single to pave the way into a new era and mark the beginning of a trilogy? We chose 'My Sanctuary', which for us is a kind of gateway song that opens the door to the world of OPVS NOIR. It shows that darkness isn't just about sadness - for many of us, darkness is a life force.”

What is the essence of Lord Of The Lost in 2025? That is one of the questions OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 fearlessly begins to answer. Once again, the band proves not only musical excellence but also masterful craftsmanship: Produced by Chris Harms, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the legendary CHAMELEON STUDIOS in Hamburg, the 11 tracks hit with a force and brilliance that immediately transport us into a dark yet colourful ballroom. From there, the tone is set: Dark Wave Metal on an amphitheater scale.

Chris Harms comments on the album: “Darkness, melancholy, loneliness - all words that often have negative connotations, that we may associate with danger, sadness and loss, and not without reason. But darkness can also be security, melancholy the warm and sentimental feeling of our memories, and loneliness becomes necessary silence, peace and inner contemplation. OPVS NOIR is a travel guide, or perhaps also a travelogue, through the dark sides of our inner world, which so often move precisely in the area of tension between what we emotionally categorize as positive or negative. And with Vol. 1, all of this is just the beginning of this 3-part journey...”

OPVS NOIR is not only a musically exciting step but also a bold one. This becomes clear when looking at Lord Of The Lost's immediate past: support for Iron Maiden on two European tours, followed by their first North American shows in over a decade, sold-out headlining tours, participation in the final of the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2023, a #1 chart entry with the previous album Blood & Glitter, celebrated performances at the biggest festivals worldwide – they even had the honour of meeting King Charles in person. Hand on heart: How easy would it have been to keep riding this wave of success just a little longer? But that’s not how Lord Of The Lost operate – the only constant remains change.

Everything is new, yet every note feels familiar. Behind each chorus awaits a surprise, in every line, a new door opens to further uncharted paths within the LOTL universe. This band takes the expectations of its ever-growing fanbase and molds them into songs that transcend genre boundaries – and turn moments into monuments that carry us all along: No one lost behind!

Following the worldwide acclaim for their 2023 release, Vol. 10, Buckcherry today announce the release of their eleventh album, Roar Like Thunder, on 13th June via Earache Records.

A video for the title track was filmed in Los Angeles by director Tom Flynn and premieres today. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/S2IaohwKL7k?si=I43pFCfNJKjiwr3_

As with Vol. 10, and its predecessor Hellbound, Roar Like Thunder was recorded in Nashville at Sienna Studios and produced by Marti Frederiksen. All 10 tracks were written by vocalist Josh Todd, guitarist Stevie D, and Frederiksen.

The album will be released in North America by Round Hill Records; in Japan by Sony Japan; and in the remainder of the world by Earache Records.

Pre-order the album from Earache here: EARACHE.COM/BUCKCHERRY

As previously announced, the band commence a co-headline tour with Steel Panther on 11th April in Redding, California.

The two-time GRAMMY-nominated band have created an album that's bursting at the seams with lightning-hot rock'n'roll. From the the horn-swelling swagger of 'I Go Boom' and the honey-dripping riffs of 'Blackout', to the AC/DC stomp of 'Come On' and the frantic runaway train rhythm of the title track, Roar Like Thunder sees a band that bring live rock'n'roll to the stage more days a year than the sun is seen in Britain, and set that energy off like a bottle rocket in the studio. The album was mastered by Anthony Focx [Metallica, Aerosmith].
 
Frontman Josh Todd comments: “Roar Like Thunder rocks from beginning to end. It grooves, it thumps, and there is subject matter in each song everyone can relate to. Strap in and enjoy the ride.”
 
Guitarist Stevie Dacanay affirms: “It’s the pure, uncut, rock’n’roll music you’ve been jonesing for…”

For the past 40 years, the Bay Area thrash pioneers Heathen have abided by their never-say-die attitude. The Heathen brand of intelligent yet aggressive thrash appealed not only to the genre’s core demographic but also to metal fans looking for brains behind the brawn. 

Today, Heathen release their latest offering: Bleed The World: Live. The album features songs from each of the band’s albums, including recent tracks such as ‘Sun in My Hand’ and ‘The Blight’ as well as classics such as ‘Hypnotized’ and ‘Goblin’s Blade,’ mirroring the band’s crushing live setlist. The band also revealed today the video for the track 'The Blight (Live)'.

Watch 'The Blight (Live)' here: https://youtu.be/saoKIp-YiSQ

Heathen comment: "After 3 years of touring for Empire of the Blind, we are super stoked to finally release Bleed the World: Live! We poured our blood and sweat into the performances on this album and we can't wait to share them all. Thank you to everyone who attended a show, bought merch, and supported the band on this tour. We'll be heading into the studio to start work on the new Heathen album soon and look forward to seeing you on the road once again!"

Poland’s Demeted return with their captivating and dynamic Rituals EP, released 9th May via Seek & Strike. 

A modern metalcore masterpiece, you can hear a glimpse of the EP with the first single 'Basilisk'. 'Basilisk' is an absolute banger that goes straight for the jugular, and which perfectly sets the tone for the rest of this hard-hitting new offering.

Watch the video for 'Basilisk' here: https://youtu.be/2QzxunG1PzQ
Pre-save Rituals here: https://orcd.co/demetedrituals

This is the follow-up to Demeted's debut EP Lunacy, which earned them national recognition and saw the band push their songwriting to new heights, crafting more epic hooks and infectious melodies, while maintaining their overall aggression.

Demeted state:  "The EP’s first single, ‘Basilisk,' was inspired from a legend about a literal basilisk in Warsaw’s catacombs, where the monster was wreaking havoc and turning everyone to stone with its gaze. The lyrics focus on the perspective of the beast, where the power it possesses makes it invincible, but it’s also incredibly lonely and sad. This is an allegory to the reality where sometimes immense power takes away most genuine people from a person’s life. Most of these songs were inspired by indigenous Polish folklore legends. We all come from Poland and want to embrace the culture behind us. Musically, this song was especially challenging, because the guitar tunings forced us to come up with vocals that are really something different and unique when compared to the rest.

"This EP is also the manifestation of our continuous evolution as a band. The sound has turned to a darker, more aggressive and mysterious tone, but the imagery was adjusted to resemble the offering's main themes. Everything in the new release falls under the concept of displaying the forgotten and mysterious, indigenous culture of Poland from hundreds of years ago. The one specific element that clearly helps separate us from the rest of the bands in our genre is our sound flexibility. We can always find a way to create a catchy chorus, even if the song is really heavy and it would be impossible at the first glance. 

"If there’s anything we can share with the world, it would be one thing - be proud of who you are, because your intrinsic value is immense. You just need to show it to the world and eventually there will be someone that’s going to cherish it."

Welsh powerhouse rock trio Häxan have today released their new single 'Death of Me', the title track of their forthcoming EP, released 23rd May.

Stream: https://ditto.fm/death_of_me_haxan
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/o7e7sXTNHus

Pre-order Death of Me EP here: https://haxan.co.uk

The new single revolves around the themes of betrayal, feeling trapped and inner conflict. Lyrically it depicts a struggle between wanting to break free and knowing you probably wouldn’t, even if you could. There is a clear, almost desperate, plea and need for salvation but also a push and pull between giving in to the destruction and hoping for a release. 

The band comment: "It was one of the later songs we wrote for the EP, and we played around with lots of ideas for the melody in the verse as we wanted something quite rhythmic but still melodic and catchy. Once we had this melody, albeit with very different words, we all couldn’t stop singing it days, even weeks, later so we knew it was the one. 

"This is the first new song Häxan fans will hear since our debut album release in 2020, so we hope they will see and love the band’s and our sound's evolution. It’s still Häxan. Still big riffs, big choruses, but bolder, heavier, and bigger than ever."

Produced by Grammy nominated Romesh Dodangoda, Häxan's new EP showcases the band’s evolution, blending rock and metal influences - bigger, bolder and more intense. From the uncompromising title track and first single 'Death of Me', Häxan delivers big riffs, big vocals and driving energy, setting the stage for what’s to come. 

Recorded at Longwave Studios with the same passion and fire that fuels their high-energy live shows, Death of Me captures the essence of a band that has made waves on major festivals such as Download, Bloodstock, and Planet Rockstock, international stages such as the Monsters of Rock Cruise Miami and Malmo Rock Festival, as well as sharing the stage with the likes of Foreigner, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, and Florence Black.

Face your inner struggles head-on, because you are stronger than you believe. With this mindset, Our Mirage embarks on a bold new chapter — one that is heavier, more powerful, and more intense than ever before. As life evolves, so does our music. Prepare yourselves for Our Mirage 2.0 — a sound forged to inspire strength in the face of adversity.

Nuclear Blast Records is proud to welcome Missouri’s burgeoning extreme metal wrecking crew DISEMBODIED TYRANT to the label’s thriving roster. With one of the most distinct new sounds in heavy music, the volatile four-piece have already amassed a global cult following with their intense amalgam of blackened deathcore and progressive symphonic metal.

In the span of only a few short years, DISEMBODIED TYRANT have released a handful of singles and an EP. Garnering millions of streams. the band also performed a mind-blowing set at New England Metal & Hardcore Festival, and a North American tour with FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE and SHADOW OF INTENT that have sparked a firestorm of anticipation for what’s next for the band.

Along with the signing announcement, comes the brand new single ‘8.6 BLACKOUT’; an unrelenting track of raging chaos.

Founding songwriter, guitarist and vocalist Blake Mullens says of the song: "This song was one of those rarities where the vision stayed consistent throughout the entire process, it became exactly what I imaged it would from day one. This is a huge pivot thematically from the previous material, coupled with the video I think it’s quite the statement."

Commenting on the signing to Nuclear Blast, Mullens says: "It’s an honor to be joining the Nuclear Blast roster, alongside some of my all time favorite bands/artists. DISEMBODIED TYRANT has only ever been supported by myself internally, and to now have an entire team behind us is a dream come true, I’m very eager for what the future holds!"

Nuclear Blast America’s label manager and head of A&R, Tommy Jones adds:

"I’ve never signed an artist that never played a show live, until DISEMBODIED TYRANT. I just felt so solid on their music and their team, that I rolled the dice. I saw the band’s 8th show ever at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest while they were supporting Fleshgod Apocalypse. After the performance, I hugged Blake and said in his ear ‘thank you for confirming my decision’.

"The world is not ready for the insanity of DISEMBODIED TYRANT, but you don’t have a choice. It’s about to get disgusting.”

Fans can catch DISEMBODIED TYRANT on their North American tour with CHELSEA GRIN, SHADOW OF INTENT and SIGNS OF THE SWARM this spring.

Fearlessly experimental, deliciously irreverent and defiantly unclassifiable for 25 years, Stockholm’s Gösta Berlings Saga have announced the release of Forever Now, their highly anticipated 7th studio album, on 6th June via Pelagic Records. The quintet have also unveiled the first single / video 'Through The Arches'.

Watch the video to 'Through The Arches' here: https://youtu.be/1PT_MGo4TW0

Pre-order Forever Now and stream the single here: https://orcd.co/gostaberlingssaga

The band comment on the new single: "'Through the Arches' is GBS in 2025 - pure and amplified. One of the first tracks completed for the new album, it packs all the classic GBS ingredients, but turned up a few notches. Melodic, cosmic, chaotic, euphoric—all in one track. The accompanying video, crafted by Martin Gustafsson, is a visual journey into the everlasting and beyond, perfectly capturing the song’s essence."

A masterful collision of intricate songwriting, raw rock spontaneity and their signature disregard for genre limitations, Forever Now rests on no laurels; it’s a driving continuation of a journey that suggests, even after two decades and counting, the band’s best work may still be ahead of them.

On the new album, the band continue: "Super stoked to soon unleash Forever Now upon the world. It’s an album we’ve put our heart, soul and every atom of our beings into. Written, recorded, mixed and produced by ourselves it fills us with great pride that even after 20+ years we still find joy, creativity and new ways to approach music. Forever Now is a journey in search of small fragments of eternity within the present moment - where time dissolves, and music becomes the gateway to the infinite."

Stockholm, the Saga began in 2000 with a creative spark keenly felt between keyboardist David Lundberg and drummer Alexander Skepp. Taking formative inspiration from the ‘60s jazz fusion improvisations of fellow Swedes Hansson & Karlsson, Gösta Berlings Saga broadened their sonic palette with the addition of bassist Gabriel Tapper and guitarist Mathias Danielsson before the release of their debut album Tid Är Ljud in 2006. Danielsson subsequently left the project to be replaced by Einar Baldursson, contributing to the darker and more complex sound of 2009’s Detta Har Hänt, 2011’s Glue Works and 2016’s Sersophane.

The overt manipulation of sound and melody on this trio of early releases helped set Gösta Berlings Saga apart from the rest of the progressive pack, swerving easy cliché and navel gazing nostalgia in favour of a fervently forward-thinking ethos. Undoubtedly influenced by the greats of prog, art-rock, electronica and the avant-garde, Gösta Berlings Saga have remained thrillingly impervious to categorisation.

2017 saw another evolution within the band as Baldursson left to be replaced with Rasmus Booberg whilst percussionist and multi-instrumentalist Jesper Skarin also joined the ranks. Rejuvenated and revitalised, Gösta Berlings Saga’s subsequent albums, ET EX (2018) and Konkret Music (2020), introduced a whole new audience to the band’s idiosyncratic fearless experimentation, breakneck rock ‘n’ roll infused with even more found sound electronics and sonic obscura. Uncompromising and utterly distinct, these albums solidified the band’s belief that staying true to their own artistic vision was always the only way forward.

Forever Now is 10 tracks of hand-crafted chaos that bear all the brilliance of Gösta Berlings Saga’s 25 years of irreverent innovation. Entirely written, recorded, produced and mixed by the band for the very first time, the album sees synthesizers and arpeggiated guitars spiral ever higher, colliding with helter skelter percussion and pulse-racing drums on the way, whilst the band’s innate trust in each other and in their music form the propulsive core of a perpetual energy engine five years in the making.

Although not established as a concept album as such, personal tragedies during the early writing process ultimately left their mark. For a time the band tried to separate their collective creativity from the events of their private lives but, rather than grief and darkness making their presence felt, Gösta Berlings Saga built this album on the pursuit of the eternal - a euphoric glimpse beyond time, where music becomes a bridge between the present and what was and will be, echoing connections that never fade.

Gösta Berlings Saga are:
Jesper Skarin - Percussion
Gabriel Tapper - Bass
David Lundberg - Keys
Rasmus Booberg - Guitars
Alexander Skepp - Drums
