SAOSIN Announces SELF-TITLED 20th Anniversary Tour

Fresh off the release of their latest single “Starting Over Again”, rock band Saosin is excited to announce plans for a special 20th anniversary tour to celebrate their debut SELF-TITLED album. Originally released in 2006, the album charted at #22 on the Billboard 200 and featured hit singles “VOICES”, “BURY YOUR HEAD”, and “YOU’RE NOT ALONE”. Additionally, the album is now officially certified RIAA GOLD. The tour kicks off on October 23rd with special guests Silent Planet, Like Moths to Flames, and Save Us.

“During the creation of SELF TITLED, I don’t think we fully understood the album we were making at the time. We were just doing the same thing we have always done, and are still doing now. And that’s making the best music we can,” reflects guitarist Beau Burchell. “We had no idea the impact it would have on so many people’s lives and the genre. Getting to revisit it 20 years later, with that appreciation and perspective, gives us a new invigorated energy that we are so excited to bring to the stage.”

He continues: “There’s a different weight to these songs when you’ve lived with them for two decades. Not only for us, but for all the fans who have shared their stories with us over the years. The connection people have to these songs is unreal, so the opportunity to share and celebrate our SELF-TITLED record across the U.S. in a live setting is something very important to us. It’s crazy to think we are at peak performance 20 years into our career, but it really does feel that way, and we are chomping at the bit to bring this show to as many people as we can.”

“Our SELF-TITLED album defined a major chapter of my life, as well as the lives of so many others,” adds vocalist Cove Reber. “I grew up through these songs, the shows, and the touring we did together. Celebrating this record now is not only about honoring the fans who grew up alongside us, but also the new fans who are growing up with us today. We’ve come to understand what that musical era of our lives truly meant, and I’m excited to bring it back to the stage with a renewed sense of energy and excitement.”

Saosin made their explosive return this year, signing to Sumerian Records and releasing the new single “Starting Over Again.” Produced by the guitar players in the band, the track marks Saosin’s first new music in over a decade and the first in 14 years with returning vocalist Cove Reber. The current lineup features guitar players Beau Burchell and Phil Sgrosso, bassist Chris Sorenson, and drummer Alex Rodriguez.

Fans around the world can look forward to seeing Saosin live this year. The band recently had their most successful tour of New Zealand and Australia, followed by dates in Southeast Asia. They’ll be in the UK at Slam Dunk Festival later this month and will be performing at Vans Warped Tour in Mexico City and Aftershock Festival in Sacramento later this year. Following the upcoming headline tour, they’ll be setting sail from Miami with the Emo’s Not Dead Cruise at the top of 2027. For a full list of upcoming shows, please visit: https://saosin.com/.

MOTIONLESS IN WHITE ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM DECADES 

SUMMER 2026 HEADLINE TOUR SET FOR JULY

Platinum-selling, Scranton, PA powerhouse MOTIONLESS IN WHITE have just announced their new album DECADES. It arrives JULY 17 via Roadrunner Records. Pre-order it here. 

Motionless In White are at home in the dark. For over 20 years, the quintet — Chris Motionless [vocals], Ricky Olson [guitar], Ryan Sitkowski [guitar], Vinny Mauro [drums], and Justin Morrow [bass] — have resided in their own shadowy corner of alternative music and culture. The group's uncanny alchemy of metal, hardcore, goth, industrial, and electronic has magnetically attracted an ardent audience, fueling a quiet rise out of the Rust Belt and into arenas as a headlining force of nature.  Their D.I.Y. work ethic drives the evolution of an immersive world where stunning visuals match the scope of the sound.

The collective come full circle on their seventh full-length offering Decades. For as much as it conjures their signature style, the LP sees them continue to confidently cut a path through uncharted territory, spreading a little darkness in their wake.

Today, the band has also dropped the lyric video for the ferocious new single "Playing God" (Featuring Corey Taylor).

"I can't believe how aggressive Corey sounds," Chris Motionless declares. "It's an observational commentary on toxic internet culture and the people who perpetuate it. The internet has gotten worse and worse to the point where only negativity, hatred, and lies are at the forefront of everything you see. It's very frustrating because I thought social media was supposed to be a mechanism to connect, but all it does is divide."

Decades features several high-profile and eclectic guest appearances. In addition to Taylor, Sklyar Grey, and Dark Divine's Anthony Martinez also feature on the album. The band recorded Decades in Upstate New York and Los Angeles with co-producers Drew Fulk and Justin "JD" deBlieck and ultimately incorporated their past, present, and future sounds into one cohesive sound. This is Motionless at their very best.

"We were never afraid to take risks," observes Chris. "This band has not only lasted two decades, but we've also outlasted all of the obstacles we've faced. We're still grinding. No matter how far we expand the universe that is Motionless In White, we're going to preserve the heart, soul, and roots of where we came from. We are never going to abandon heartfelt, emotional, and heavy songs. We are never going to abandon what mattered to us the most when we started. We're finding new ways to emphasize those stories with exciting sounds and looks, but the vision is the same. It's always been this grand, dramatic, and theatrical entity. I'm proud we haven't gotten comfortable."

He finishes, "Decades is definitely heavier than some of our past albums. Our current world bred more aggressive energy, anger, and resistance."

DRAGONFORCE ANNOUNCE NEW VOCALIST + FRONTWOMAN ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ

Watch Alissa White-Gluz Tease the Song HERE!
 
Spring Festival Performances Preview Extensive Touring Plans + Much More To Be Revealed Throughout 2026

Today, the world's fastest band speeds up and into its biggest, boldest, and most electrifying era to date: DRAGONFORCE have announced Alissa White-Gluz as their newest member and first frontwoman. In a momentous union of two storied and unstoppable forces, the preeminent pioneers of extreme power metal will now be joined by one of metal's legendary vocalists, unleashing both an intrepid evolution of the genre and the start of a seismic year ahead.
 
Beginning this Saturday, May 9, at Welcome To Rockville, and Sunday, May 17 at Sonic Temple, DRAGONFORCE's debut live performances with Alissa White-Gluz will also kick off the 20th Anniversary of Inhuman Rampage. As the 2006 album that birthed the Platinum-selling global phenomenon of "Through the Fire and Flames," which spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 and was certified Gold, Inhuman Rampage introduced the band and their music to tens of millions of new fans and counting. With extensive touring plans to be revealed, and a 10th studio album currently in the works, DRAGONFORCE are bringing more listeners than ever into this next chapter of their eternally joyous, adrenaline-filled journey.
 
Herman Li on their lineup addition:
"Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we've done up to this point. Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we're going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn't just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can't wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on."
 
Through her work with everyone from The Agonist to Kamelot, Arch Enemy and her newly-launched Blue Medusa, Alissa White-Gluz has become an icon synonymous with strength, independence, versatility and creative fearlessness, representing a new standard for women at the highest levels of heavy music. Over two decades spent on the stage, blending ferocious and melodic theatricality with lyrical themes of philosophy, psychology, ethics and the human experience, she has built a history spanning 15+ hours of recorded music, 60+ music videos, 40+ collaborations and 2,000+ concerts across a myriad of subgenres.
 
Alissa White-Gluz on joining DRAGONFORCE:
"I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment. It feels great to showcase all the colors of my voice and utilize all my singing styles in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world over this wild career I've built; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that I cherish so much."

Founded in 1999 and based between Los Angeles and London, DRAGONFORCE have rewritten the rules of heavy metal, while redefining the possibilities of their respective instruments. Since the release of Inhuman Rampage and its signature anthem "Through the Fire and Flames" – the notoriously unbeatable final boss of Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock – the GRAMMY®-nominated band have continued to blow the minds of musicians and gamers everywhere. They have been heard in Despicable Me 4, Fortnite Festival, Brawl Stars, Asphalt Legends, and beyond, and seen on the covers of dozens of magazines. They have played for millions of fans and shared stages with Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Slipknot, Metallica and many more, but one thing has always been certain: The fastest band in the world will not slow down.

You feel it before you hear it. And once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. A low, persistent noise throbbing in the background. Scientists say it registers between 30 and 40 hertz. It’s been heard in Ipswich, Massachusetts; Auckland, New Zealand; and Windsor, Ontario. It has haunted the population of Taos, New Mexico, for decades. It’s been linked to suicides in the UK. Not everyone can hear it. No one knows where it’s coming from. They call it The Hum. Converge have taken this mysterious real-world phenomenon and reimagined it as a physical manifestation of human suffering. Then an idea struck. “What if 'The Hum' is the culmination of all the pain in the world, creating an audible signal across the universe?” vocalist and lyricist Jacob Bannon posits. “Something noticeable to others operating on a similar emotional plane.”

Hum of Hurt follows Love Is Not Enough as Converge’s second full-length release of 2026. Like its predecessor, the album offers a bleak yet empathetic assessment of the human condition and its ongoing deterioration. With this album, the songs are more raw and exposed. “When we came together to write, we ended up with a wealth of material,” Bannon says. “As work progressed we realized we had created two separate albums, and treated them as such.”

The album's latest single— "Doom In Bloom"— is raw and bloody, as guitarist Kurt Ballou’s spiky riffs scrape against Nate Newton’s bass and Ben Koller’s drums. You can practically hear Bannon’s throat tearing apart in every scream. “It’s dark and pointed right at you,” he says. “Lyrically, I’m exploring how my own middle-aged introspection doesn’t always bring a brighter light. I see my own trappings reflected in those around me. Here I am imploring them to slip the noose to see another day.”

Hum of Hurt was recorded and mixed by Kurt Ballou at God City in Salem, Massachusetts, with engineering assistance from Zach Weeks. Bannon and renowned UK artist Thomas Hooper collaborated on the album artwork.

“For the cover, I had a vision of an EKG signal fusing with some kind of volatile seismography. This amalgamation represents the conditions that would theoretically create a ‘Hum.’ Specifically the heart skips beats before dissolving into static. The signal is then interrupted by a seismic event at the center point of the cover. In conversation, I shared some of these ideas with artist Thomas Hooper, who offered to illustrate them using scientific diagrams as a source of inspiration. I then spent months creating a mixed media piece for the interior,” Bannon says. “The figures represent the five elements of our planet, or ‘Pancha Bhuta’: Prithvi (Earth), Ap (Water), Agni (Fire), Vayu (Air), and Akasha (Aether). I present them in the throws of chaos, as if the elements themselves are entangled in the Hum of Hurt.”

Five new heavy songs worth hearing. What are you listening to?

Loathe “Revenant” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3khI3vqV0FY
Northlane “Evian” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4e40N3We-U
Elder “Capture Release” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vo73AyUfVz0
Cage Fight “Oxygen” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TRCl9exrTtM
Boundaries “Death Will Follow Me” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Nnw_97fasU

“Loathe are back, but “do you accept the invitation?” Nearly a year on from delivering their stunning “Gifted Every Strength” single, the U.K. metalcore-expanders have now officially unveiled plans to release their first album in 6 years. Though their A Stranger to You is out in the summer, they’ve just introducing us to a groove-bombed new wrecker called “Revenant.” While last year’s “Gifted Every Strength” possessed jazzy flourishes, outside of a microdose of ambient synth in its final seconds, “Revenant” is a monster, through-and-through. Loathe lean into dissonant kick-mosh, while Kadeem France runs his throat raw while raging on the mic “with intent to kill.” The song also features contributions from NOWHERE2RUN’s Jami Morgan and Eric “Shade” Balderose, who had France hop on their “Ant in the Afterbirth” track back in 2024.” (Revolver)

CAGE FIGHT

Releases New Single"Oxygen"

New Album 'Exuvia' Due for Release May 1st via Spinefarm

UK metal band, CAGE FIGHT – fronted by vocal powerhouse Rachel Aspe – have released a new single/video, "Oxygen."

Rachel Aspe explains, “When your worries occupy all the space in your head, you’re navigating

through fog; every task, every move, feels like a challenge. 'Oxygen' is about a fight against time, when everything becomes overwhelming and suffocating.”

About the video, Aspe adds: “The mask on the album cover is the radiotherapy mask my grandmother wore every day for her cancer treatment. It was moulded to her, and I'm now wearing it as she lives through me. The process was painful and exhausting. This is a symbol of strength, perseverance, and healing. It represents a cage you fight in, until you shed your skin and are reborn. The mask also has specific meanings for each song on the album.

"In 'Oxygen', we wanted to portray the feelings of fear, oppression, and anxiety. To be locked in this cage, pushed down by its weight. The mask here is our own mind, and overwhelming thoughts, while seeing time passing by and being powerless.”

CAGE FIGHT will release their second studio album, ‘Exuvia,’ on May 1st via Spinefarm.  

Recorded by Sam Bloor at Lower Lane Studios and mixed by Jim Pinder (Sleep Token, Malevolence), ‘Exuvia’ retains the raw, old school hardcore heart of CAGE FIGHT – vibrating with meaty grooves, pummelling rhythms, plus a wave of furious anger that feels like a punch to the gut. At the same time, it also explores more multi-layered terrains, atmospheres, and melodies, making CAGE FIGHT sound bigger, tighter, and more epic than ever before.

Throughout the 11 pieces of music, the band proves they aren’t afraid to experiment… and have a bit of fun. A case in point is "Pick Your Fighter," which features Julien Truchan from Benighted on guest vocals, and was inspired by a French pop song – "Et c'est parti…" by Nâdiya – though you’d never guess it from the song’s crushing heaviness.

The rest of the lyrics on ‘Exuvia’ are written by Rachel – the first time she has expressed herself in this way, and the results are deeply personal, taking in anxiety, assault, and having to deal with grief. The expansive final track, "Élégie," is about losing her grandfather, and the regret that can come from things left unsaid.

On "Pig," meanwhile, she calls out the creepy men who send women unsolicited messages online, while the title track was inspired by her grandmother, who is currently battling cancer, and helped Rachel write the song's lyrics. 

In celebration of the forthcoming release of 'Exuvia,' CF will host a sold-out album release party on May 1st at legendary London dive bar, Blondie’s.

Radio City Beer Works is also brewing a new batch of “Pick Your Fighter” beer, which will be available on tap at the event.

Since their inception, the band has become known for their visceral, high-energy live performances; already, they’ve toured with acts such as Sepultura and Cromags, supported the likes of Napalm Death and Employed To Serve, and played numerous festivals, including Summer Breeze and Bloodstock.

A new Northlane era is loading. The heavy music trailblazers have returned to the fore with their exhilarating new single “Evian,” out now via independent release.

Another bold step in Northlane’s evolution, “Evian” shapeshifts through a duality of euphoric trance and seismic breakdowns. The song expands and contracts as its affecting lyrics explore facing trauma to be better for the ones you love.

Frontman Marcus Bridge opens up about the track: “Evian is about self-improvement through confronting trauma then finding your way back to someone from a healthier place. It explores the choice to grow on your own rather than dragging others down with you, making a conscious effort to heal before your struggles start affecting the people you care about.” 

The video for “Evian” was directed by Colin Jeffs.

More than a decade into their career, Northlane continue to stand at the forefront of heavy music globally with a highly influential and singular sound that shifts the genre’s landscape with every release. With multiple ARIA #1 albums, awards and over 500 million streams, the band has built a legacy defined by innovation. Their signature fusion of metal and electronic elements has consistently shattered boundaries, cementing their reputation as one of the most forward-thinking and cerebral acts in the space.

“Evian” lands as Northlane continue their relentless international touring schedule, which will see them deliver their hypnotic live show on tour with Dayseeker across North America, kicking off May 1, before returning to Europe for a packed summer festival circuit with stops at Bloodstock, Summer Breeze, Re-Load and more with a bunch of headline dates wedged in between. After that the band will return to Australia to jump onboard the Hellbound Cruise for its maiden voyage and more to be announced at a later date.

Invent Animate Release New Single And Official Visualizer “Fall Like Rain”

On The Lonely God North American Tour
With Fit For A King, Ten56 And Acres
Beginning Friday, May 1
Ticket Info HERE

Atmospheric metalcore trailblazers Invent Animate have dropped their new single “Fall Like Rain“ and the official visualizer, their latest release of original music since 2023’s full-length album ‘Heavener’ (via UNFD). When asked about the inspiration behind the track, vocalist Marcus Vik shared:

“‘Fall Like Rain’ is about my lifelong struggle with insomnia and anxiety.

When I quit alcohol a few years ago, my sleeping problems surfaced in a new way. I was forced to confront my restless mind without a way to escape or quiet my thoughts. The line ‘I am a swarming blood red cloud’ is me admitting that I am my own insomnia; it’s the storm of my own thoughts that comes nightly to torment me. 

Because there is so much dread in being wide awake, I wanted the vocals to feel raw and desperate. But in the face of these overwhelming feelings, the chant ‘I wasn’t born to be afraid’ is a refusal to be paralyzed by ‘whispers that fall like rain’. The quiet thoughts that get louder and louder until there is a downpour of anxiety and panic. Every night I have to choose to believe there is a place of safety on the other side of that storm.” 

North American fans will also be able to see the band’s incredible live show on the Lonely God Tour starting May 1, with Fit For A King, Ten56, and Acres, followed up by an Australian run with I Prevail and Imminence in June (tickets available here).

“Coachella have unveiled several official videos of the first proper Nine Inch Noize set. Performing at the festival’s Sahara Stage on Saturday, April 11, the band – Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, plus Alex Ridha aka Boys Noize – made their official debut following months of playing together on NIN’s stunning Peel It Back Tour. Their 11-song setlist featured an appearance by Trent Reznor’s wife (and How To Destroy Angels singer) Mariqueen Maandig Reznor, and consisted of nine NIN tracks, one from How To Destroy Angels, plus a cover of Soft Cell’s Memorabilia. As well as playing again very soon at the second weekend of Coachella, Nine Inch Noize will also be dropping their debut self-titled album this Friday, April 17 via Interscope.” (Kerrang)
