New Zealand's metal stars Alien Weaponry team up with Lamb of God's Randy Blythe in new music video

Photo Credit: Frances Carter

New Zealand's ALIEN WEAPONRY have today dropped a brand new music video for their album
single 'Taniwha', featuring an intense guest appearance from metal icon Randy Blythe (Lamb Of
God
).

Taken from the trio's acclaimed newest album Te Rā (out now via Napalm Records), you can now watch the video here: https://youtu.be/2S7Mo8cJlGc

In the video, the modern groove metal trio find themselves face to face with puppet masters of corporate greed and overconsumption, providing a thought-provoking backdrop to one of the album's most aggressive, death-metal leaning offerings.

ALIEN WEAPONRY say about the 'Taniwha' video: "We are super excited to share something we have been working on for a while.

"We felt honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with the mighty
Randy Blythe on our song
'Taniwha' off of our latest album, so it only made sense to have him be a part of the music video too! We wanted to create something special for this one, and we are stoked with how it turned out!"


ALIEN WEAPONRY have recently announced a UK and Europe tour supporting Avatar. UK dates as follows:

14.02.26 UK - London / Exhibition
15.02.26 UK - Manchester / Academy
16.02.26 UK - Glasgow / Barrowland
17.02.26 UK - Nottingham / Rock City
18.02.26 UK - Bristol / O2 Academy

Order Te Rā here: https://lnk.to/AlienWeaponry-TeRa/napalmrecords

Alien Weaponry have solidified themselves as one of the greatest young metal bands of their generation with renewed musical tenacity and crucial messaging. Te Rā is a bold, unwavering cry for a future in which we can all take part in the legacy of peoples like the Māori and others all around us – people who, if they aren’t seen, most certainly need to be heard.

With their third full-length album, Alien Weaponry expand on their hallmark messages of cultural, societal and environmental resilience while delivering their most massive-sounding, focused musical output ever. In the hands of veteran producer/mixer Josh Wilbur (Lamb Of God, Gojira, Megadeth) and featuring a guest vocal appearance from longtime Alien Weaponry champion Randy Blythe of Lamb Of God, Te Rā’s gnashing blend of groove, nu, math and thrash metal shines with anthemic choruses and refreshed technical skill.

On Te Rā, listeners can hear the band doubling-down on the aggression in the verses before applying temperance, especially in the case of 'Taniwha', a death metal-leaning banger featuring the particularly raw guest vocal from Randy Blythe. Lyrically, there’s a noticeable tilt towards despondency, hopelessness, and frustration on Te Rā. While bassist Tūranga Porowini Morgan-Edmonds' lyrics in Māori on songs like 'Tama-nui-te-rā' and Ponaturi' draw from the themes of history, battle lore and mysticism that made the first two albums so rich, frontman/guitarist Lewis Raharuhi de Jong's English-language lyrics illustrate the impact when culture collides with disenfranchisement day to day.

'Crown' and 'Hanging by a Thread' take us into the headspace where struggle pushes people to the brink of desperation, while on 'Blackened Sky' and '1000 Friends', Lewis addresses universal woes like the looming threat of World War III and the damaging effects of social media. On album closer 'Te Kore', Tūranga dives into primordial nothingness at the root of the Māori origin story, while on 'Mau Moko', he finds the middle ground between these perspectives. Taken as a whole, Te Rā grapples with what it’s like to be caught in the pull of divergent cultures – not just for the descendants of colonized people, but for all of us.

British metalcore band Shields return with powerful single and video 'Abuser'

Photo Credit: Jennifer McCord

Founded in 2012 by primary songwriters Joe Edwards (vocals) and Samuel Kubrick Finney (guitar/vocals), Shields quickly made an impact in the heavy music scene with their viral single I Just Feel Hate - a track they re-released in a newly reimagined version in April 2025.

Their EP GUILT cemented their refined sound, blending brutal instrumentation with poignant, emotionally driven lyrics. With this release, they demonstrated an aggressive adaptability to the ever-evolving alternative music landscape, winning over fans from across adjacent genres. The momentum of their powerful breakthrough led to tour cycles alongside acts such as LoatheIce Nine Kills, and Escape the Fate.

Shields’ debut full-length album Life in Exile (2018) received critical acclaim for its raw honesty and musical maturity. However, the album cycle was tragically cut short by the sudden passing of guitarist George Christie - an event that ultimately led to the band’s untimely and abrupt disbandment.

Their return marks a bold decision, given the tragic circumstances surrounding their 2018 split. Yet, Shields re-emerge with the powerful single 'Abuser' (released via Long Branch Records), inviting audiences to witness the next evolution of their sound - matured, refined, and fearless. This new chapter is supported by a fortified lineup, featuring founding members Joe Edwards and Samuel Kubrick Finney, now joined by Alastair Wain (drums) and Krishan Pujara (bass).

"The intention of this song is to convey as much rage, regret and ferocity as possible. The lyrics are blunt and authentic, It is either clear what this song is about, or you have been lucky enough not to experience cohesive control and manipulation."  Samuel Kubrick Finney

If Shields’ discography is any indication of what lies ahead, audiences can expect a torrent of unrelentingly bold strides into new sonic territories.

German hard rockers Wucan announce new album Axioms

Photo Credit: Joe Dilworth

After three years hard at work, German hard rockers Wucan return with news of new album Axioms - showcasing their characteristic artistic ingenuity, and continuing the transformation first hinted on their charting Heretic Tongues record.

Axioms, the fourth studio album from the Dresden rockers, will be released on 29th August 2025 via Long Branch Records and is now available for pre-order here: https://wucan.lnk.to/axioms

True art is characterised above all by its constant renewal - a combination of the tried and tested with the innovative. Like all influential artists who follow this golden rule, Wucan demonstrate their capacity for artistic evolution with their new album, Axioms.

On the new record, the four-piece heavy rock outfit led by frontwoman Francis Tobolsky blend the distinctive elements of their previous studio records - Sow The Wind (2015), Reap The Storm (2017), and Heretic Tongues (2022) - with fresh ideas, resulting in a broader stylistic range and a more clearly defined conceptual approach. While the band continues to reference hard rock, krautrock, East German rock, and metal, the eight new tracks are also infused with touches of progressive rock, isolated electronic elements, and a playful jazz attitude. Or as Francis Tobolsky aptly puts it: “The foundation of our music is international 70s hard rock enriched by contemporary influences – this time with even more bombast, brutality, and complexity.” 

The already released singles 'KTNSAX' and 'Irons In The Fire' give a first taste of the new album. Watch the two music videos here: https://wucan.lnk.to/axioms/youtube

"The title Axioms stands for the fundamental convictions our band is built upon, convictions we no longer question," says bandleader Francis Tobolsky. "After ten years of making music together – seven of them in this lineup – there were moments when everything could have fallen apart. This album was created during a time when each of our lives was changing significantly, and it bears the imprint of those personal experiences. The fact that we’re still making music together is neither a coincidence nor a matter of convenience – it’s our axiom."

Swedish rockers Smash Into Pieces have revealed their new single 'A Sky Full Of Stars', their most heartfelt ballad yet. A soaring tribute to love, distance, and connection that transcends time and space, this song wraps emotion in a blanket of cinematic sound. With haunting lyrics and celestial melodies, it’s a reminder that even in darkness, we shine together.

Listen: orcd.co/smashintopiecesaskyfullofstars

​This summer, Smash Into Pieces will electrify audiences at over 25 major festivals, including Rock am Ring, Graspop, and Download Festival - where they will take to the Avalanche stage on Saturday 14th June.

They continue their meteoric rise, building on their last single 'Paradise' [ft. Amaranthe], and the momentum of their chart-topping hits 'Six Feet Under' (double platinum) and 'Heroes Are Calling' (Gold-certified within weeks of release). Their futuristic, apocalyptic aesthetic and immersive storytelling—evident in their cinematic ‘ARCADIA WORLD’ series—set them apart in the rock scene, creating a unique fusion of music and visual storytelling.

With over a billion streams and views, the band has solidified its global presence. Their 2023 and 2024 tours saw them perform worldwide, including a major North American tour and headline runs across Europe and Scandinavia. Their groundbreaking Swedish Eurovision performances, with 'Six Feet Under' securing #3 in 2023 and another top placement in 2024, cemented their status as one of Sweden’s biggest rock exports.

Their ever-growing fanbase and consistent global radio presence—with 40,000+ spins in 2024 alone—prove that Smash Into Pieces is more than just a band; they are a movement. 

With 'A Sky Full of Stars' Smash Into Pieces invite fans to dive even deeper into their world, where dreams and reality blur into an electrifying musical journey.

"Anything standing between us and our dreams, we Smash Into Pieces."

Hiroe (Pelagic Records) unveil new single 'Collider'

Photo Credit: Chris Sikich

Hiroe, the new darlings of the American post-rock underground, have revealed their latest single 'Collider', taken from their forthcoming debut album, Wield, due 20th June via Pelagic Records.

Watch the new video here: https://youtu.be/a4UbQXwywj8
Pre-order Wield here: https://orcd.co/hiroe

'Collider' is a 10-minute epic, presenting listeners with a sonic journey into the heart of modern existence, reflecting life's often opposing and overwhelming demands. Its elaborate structure provides the band with an opportunity to showcase diverse instrumentation, from the resonant standing bass and the delicate chime of a glockenspiel to captivating guitar tapping sections that crescendo into a powerful three-part harmony. Embodying a musical representation of the contradictory elements in balancing life's competing priorities, it evokes the moment when all facets of life come to a head, resulting in a profound convergence, just as its title, 'Collider', implies.

Hiroe's guitarist Eric Kusanagi comments: "'Collider' is a song that when we play live seems to be a crowd favourite.  It's the longest song in our catalogue, at about 10 minutes long, and we wanted to take the listener on a journey that goes through a lot of peaks and valleys."

The single is another glimpse of the forthcoming album Wield, showcasing the Philadelphia-based quintet mastering their craft, of creating compelling melodies that sound larger than life.

2022 saw Hiroe burst onto the scene with an explosive debut EP full of soaring anthems and sublime soundscapes. Combining the sonic expansiveness of Deftones with the dynamic heaviness of bands like Isis and Caspian, Hiroe immediately already figured out how to make the most majestic sounding post-rock early in their career. "Our first album, Wrought was a statement of creation," explains principal songwriter Eric Kusanagi (guitars).
 
For the recording of Wield, Jill Paslier moved from bass to guitars, with Brian Kong (guitars), Jon Seiler (bass) and Dan Sagherian (drums) joining to complete the lineup. Produced once more by Mario Quintero (Spotlights) Wield capitalises on everything the band learned in the creation of its predecessor, adding to it a new focus on textural intricacies and compositional detail.
 
“We wanted to show a larger range of musical themes on this record,” continues Eric. “You’ll hear us dive into some synth work, some piano work, some really interesting effects that Mario helped us dial up.” Wield as a result packs in a huge range of details, which reveal themselves over repeated listens. 
 
Nevertheless, Wield is still an affair of instant gratification for fans of guitar driven post-rock. From the soaring leads of 'Tides' to the epic finale of 'I’ve Been Waiting For You All My Life', Hiroe show they’ve upped their game in every department, but especially that which tugs at your heartstrings.

Wield presents the brave new future we all need in these confusing times. A new American frontier on which we can build our wildest dreams and our most daring ambitions.

Watch Hiroe live:

JUN 06 – Baltimore – Monument City Brewing

Lord Of The Lost reveal heavy second single / video 'I Will Die In It'

Photo Credit: VD Pictures

Lord Of The Lost are back with the beautiful darkwave-metal epic, 'I Will Die In It', the second single released from their upcoming full-length album, OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, out 8th August, 2025 via Napalm Records. The track weaves through melancholic soundscapes, echoing a call to rise above stagnation and fleeting comfort, to become the architect of your own fate. It is accompanied by an official music video that perfectly complements the song’s dark, mystical and hard-hitting atmosphere.

Watch the video to 'I Will Die In It' here: https://youtu.be/SQI1HKn31Q4

Pre-order OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 here: https://lnk.to/LOTL-OPVSNOIR/napalmrecords

In the world of Lord Of The Lost, inspiration comes from everywhere, and the #1 charting band havereturned to their darker, atmospheric roots after their glamorous Blood & Glitter chapter, where the band represented Germany in the 2023 Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) finals and broke into mainstream press. OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 is Lord Of The Lost’s first album of an exciting album trilogy, featuring several strictly limited special editions. 

Vocalist Chris Harms comments: “'I Will Die In It'” is a musical motivational speech to find the strength to pursue happiness that is self-determined and born of one’s own will. No matter the circumstances we were born into or raised in, we all carry the power within us to change our lives and the world around us, to give love and to receive it. At least, this is what I want to believe in – because without that belief, everything would be hopeless.

“I was not born in love, but I will die in it.”

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 Harmscomments 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...”

Lord Of The Lost will tour the UK in November with support from UK metal outfit Skarlett Riot and the synth-rock pioneers JULIEN-K (featuring Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh of ORGY) from the US. Dates:
