Finnish rockers Rust N’ Rage are pleased to share the new single and lyric video “Songs Of Yesterday”, title track of their upcoming new album set for release on August 22nd, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band said: “Songs Of Yesterday” shows a bit more melodic side of us and our upcoming album, paired with an anthemic chorus that gets you singing along in seconds! It’s an emotional dive into a story so many of us are familiar with”.
About the new album, they added: “Songs Of Yesterday” is an ultimate collection of nasty riffs and tasty hooks; all forged in the fires of adrenaline filled rock n’ roll! These tracks are sure to get your head banging, so give it a spin and play it loud!”
Through lots of hard work and gigging, Rust N’ Rage have been starting to make a name for themselves in their home country of Finland. With energetic live shows and anthemic songwriting, this rock n’ roll quartet is ready to introduce themselves to the world more than ever before.
Coming from a small Finnish town called Pori, Rust N’ Rage are four musicians – Vince, Johnny, Jezzie, and Eddy – who share a common passion for rock n’ roll. Initially playing individually around their town, it didn’t take long for them to unite under a shared musical vision.
Drawing inspiration from ’80s legends such as Guns n’ Roses, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, and Dokken, the band has crafted a sound rooted in classic hard rock but with a fresh and personal twist.
The band’s debut album, produced by Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire), was filled with hard-hitting, melodic tunes. In 2020, things accelerated for the band as they found a new manager and teamed up with a new producer to bring their vision to life.
Now, their latest release, “Songs Of Yesterday”, produced by Olli Anttila, is the band’s defining statement – a high-energy dose of rock packed with powerful anthems, memorable choruses, infectious guitar solos, and explosive rhythms. It’s a celebration of their influences, but also a testament to their identity and evolution as a modern hard rock force.
“Songs Of Yesterday” Tracklist:
1. One For All (All For One)
2. Songs Of Yesterday

Rock legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes is pleased to unveil his new single and accompanying lyric video, “Voice In My Head”, taken from his upcoming studio album “Chosen”, set for release on September 5th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
This year will also see Glenn Hughes busy touring across Europe and South America, with “The Chosen Years” tour starting in Zoetermeer, Netherlands, on September 2nd, and ending on November 29th in Bogota, Colombia. For the full list of dates, please see below and HERE.
About the new single, Glenn commented: “Voice In My Head” tells the story of what’s goin’ on in my subconscious mind. It’s a song that most definitely needed to be written. Very therapeutic. We all have “this voice”. Observe, recognize and be a witness, & let go…”
Commenting on the new album, Glenn stated: “Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, “Resonate”. There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists, since 2016”.
“When writing “Chosen”, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!”, he added.
Vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is his calling card. He’s known as a singer’s singer. Stevie Wonder once called Glenn Hughes his favorite white singer.
After a nine years hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes is back with “Chosen”, his brand-new solo record: an album which presents Glenn in his most hard rockin’ fashion. An explosive record that offers Glenn Hughes at its absolute best with a state-of-the-art album, both from a songwriting and production standpoint. A truly captivating return!
Glenn Hughes, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, the Beatles and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis left their mark on him.
Glenn Hughes first found success in the early ’70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdale to the group. Despite initial scepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of “Burn” (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.
During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet The Starship, and released two more studio albums, “Stormbringer” and “Come Taste The Band”, before disbanding in 1976.
Glenn’s first solo album “Play Me Out” was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Travers guitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Glenn Hughes made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists’ albums. The endless list includes – among others – Gary Moore, John Norum, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.
Since 1992, Glenn has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith (RHCP), Dave Navarro, John Frusciante and many others.
He also founded or took part in some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.
Glenn has collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket”, which was released on May 22nd, 2025. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time Glenn has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released “Fused” together.
Glenn Hughes has also recently joined forces with Satch Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar”.

Catalonia’s old school black metal emissary Burghâsh rises from the ashes of Burgûli to deliver a savage new chapter with their first official EP under the new moniker: La tríada dels idiotes, out on 29 August 2025, via Wormholedeath.
Forged in 2025 as the ideological successor to the decade-spanning entity Burgûli (est. 2012), Burghâsh is not a reinvention—it is a spiritual weapon sharpened through years of misanthropic creation. Seven releases under the Burgûli name carved their presence deep into the underground with raw sonics and caustic anti-theistic themes, culminating in a linguistic and conceptual turn toward their native Catalan.
Now, with La tríada dels idiotes, Tar-Mairon doubles down on the venom. Across three unrelenting tracks, Burghâsh launches a serrated critique of the so-called “holy trinity” of Abrahamic faiths. The EP is a hate-fueled triptych that drags sacred dogma into the dust and dissects it with contempt.
Grainy analog recording techniques give La tríada dels idiotes its corroded, tomb-cold texture—every riff a rusted blade, every howl an echo from a crumbling altar. The Catalan tongue becomes both cultural anchor and sonic dagger, delivering each word with historical resonance and irreligious fire.
Burghâsh emerges as the purified essence of what Burgûli once was—stripped of compromise, baptized in distortion, and focused entirely on confrontation. La tríada dels idiotes is not just an EP—it’s a spiritual autopsy, composed for those who see faith not as salvation, but as the oldest poison in the bloodstream of mankind.
Swedish metal quartet Stygian Fair unveil their highly anticipated full-length album, The Hidden Realm, out now on all digital platforms and in physical format as of July 11th via Rockshots Records.
The album kicks off with its powerful title track, blending thrashy riffs with a dark, honest narrative. The journey ahead explores the battle between choice and destiny through 11 tracks that touch on themes of social decay, spiritual unrest, and inner reckoning.
No clicks, no gimmicks, just pure, guitar-driven heavy metal. “The Hidden Realm” is sharper, more melodic, and more direct than their previous release “Aradia”, marking a significant evolution in their sound.
From the haunting “Abide Your Master” to the introspective “All Of Us” and the soaring “Rise from the Shadows,” this album is raw and impactful, delivering an unforgettable experience.
Get ready for real music, made by those who believe in albums that speak, challenge, and endure.

All songs written by Andreas Stoltz, Emil Holmqvist, Per-Olov Jonsson and Anders Hedman.
Produced by Stygian Fair, recorded at Ballerina Studios in Umeå.
Mixed by Marcus Jidell and mastered by CJ Grimmark.
ABOUT:
Stygian Fair is a band from a small town called Umeå in the north of Sweden. The band has existed for about nine years now, and it all started when both P-O Jonsson and Emil Holmqvist decided to leave a band called ” Crave” to lay the foundations for Stygian Fair. Erik Andersson joined on bass, and Andreas Stoltz on lead vocals and guitar. This first incarnation of the band never made a big mark, recording or gig-wise… due to life’s crooked path.
In the autumn of 2016, Erik left the band, and a few weeks later, so did Andreas as well. Soon thereafter, the band gathered new momentum by welcoming Anders Hedman as the new powerhouse bass player. After a couple of auditions, Pontus Åkerlund became the new singer, and with this setting, the band recorded and launched an EP named “Into the Coven”. The band began playing live frequently at different local venues. At the end of August 2018, the band entered the studio again, and in October of the same year, came the debut “Panta Rei”. In January 202,0 came the sophomore album “Nadir” and in April 2021, “Equilibrium”.
In September 2021, Pontus Åkerlund decided to leave the band. A few weeks’ search for a new vocalist led to the return of Andreas Stoltz as lead vocalist and guitar player, after his years in Binary Creed and Hollow. In late 2022, Stygian Fair entered the studio once again to record ten new powerful songs with Stygian Fair’s trademark strong melodies. It is titled Aradia after the witch daughter of Diana, the goddess of the hunt and the moon.
Now it’s time for a new chapter with a new album due in 2025 with Rockshots Records.
Italian symphonic metal band HYPERSONIC push their sound to new extremes with the release of their latest single “You Bastard”, featuring the devastating vocals of Francesco Paoli, frontman of extreme symphonic death metal titans Fleshgod Apocalypse.
Taken from the band’s acclaimed third album Kaosmogonia, “You Bastard” is one of the heaviest and most emotionally charged tracks of the record. Musically, it delivers a relentless barrage of blast beats, crushing guitars, dramatic orchestration and male choir vocals recorded by the prestigious Teatro Massimo Bellini in Catania (Italy). The song dives deep into themes of rage, justice, and despair, portraying a father’s fury and anguish over the violation of his child’s innocence.
The lyrics, written by Emanuele Gangemi, carry a raw emotional intensity, mirrored by the extreme and symphonic arrangements crafted by band founder and drummer Salvo Grasso. The duet between Francesco Paoli and Eleonora Russo brings an explosive contrast between fury and fragility.
Hypersonic comment:
“This song is pure chaos and fire. We imagined a desperate and furious father speaking directly to a monster, full of pain, anger, and madness. Having Francesco on vocals was the perfect way to translate that extreme emotional charge into music.”
Hypersonic‘s musical evolution has been shaped by intensive listening, arrangement studies, and a commitment to self-awareness. Their symphonic metal draws influences from various aspects of their lives, resulting in a sound that is rich, dynamic, and wholly their own.
“Kaosmogonia” is a total musical experience deeply connected to Greek philosophy. The title, a fusion of “Kaos” and “Cosmos,” represents the dual nature of humanity—chaotic and ordered. The album explores the interplay between chaos and cosmos, mirroring the Greek understanding of the world.
The album goes beyond the musical realm, delving into the complexities of human emotions, reflections on life, and the impact of historical events. It aims to express the spectrum of human experiences, from restlessness and melancholy to hope and the positive aspects of life.
The lyrics of “Kaosmogonia” were born during a period of historical darkness, reflecting the emotions and challenges faced by humanity. The lockdown served as a catalyst for introspection, inspiring the band to confront human weaknesses such as depression, fears, and unhealthy relationships, while also expressing hope for a better future.
“Kaosmogonia” is not just an album; it’s a musical odyssey that invites metal enthusiasts to explore diverse sonic landscapes, cinematic arrangements, and profound storytelling. The album features by Mark Jansen (Epica), Francesco Paoli & Francesco Ferrini (Fleshgod Apocalypse), Emma Zoldan & Nils Courbaron (Sirenia), the male choir from Teatro Massimo Bellini (Catania-Italy) and more. The artwork was created by the great graphic designer Heilemania (Epica, Kamelot, Lindemann, Turilli/Lione Rhapsody).
Fans ofEpica, Fleshgod Apocalypse, Dimmu Borgir, Nightwish, and Septicflesh will find a rich and diverse sonic experience that goes beyond the genre’s conventions.

Catch The Whip, Khroma‘s first single from their fourth album to be released in October 2025 showcases a renewed side to the Helsinki-based alternative/electro-metal band’s sound. Hip hop and drum’n bass influences have been brought to the surface, and electro elements have been added to give a 2020s feel.
Khroma’s sound of low-pitched grooves, cinematic machine elements and vocal performances from soloist Riku Rinta-Seppälä‘s whispering to screaming is still recognisable, but Catch The Whip twists the single knobs with its catchiness.
Formed in 2010, Khroma has released three albums and toured Europe more than 10 times. The band’s fourth self-titled album will be released in October 2025.
Wormholedeath is proud to announce the signing of one of Australia’s most commanding underground forces: EVOCATUS. The Hunter Valley-based melodic death metal quintet have inked a deal with the label for the worldwide release of their long-awaited new album, Inevitable Death, on August 29, 2025.
Emerging from the scorched battlefields of New South Wales with a bloodstained banner of thrash, death, folk, and symphonic might, Evocatus wield melody and brutality in equal measure. Their latest sonic campaign, Inevitable Death, marks a monumental leap forward—expanding on the saga outlined in 2020’s Path to Tartarus with an epic, war-scarred offering of blistering riffs, sweeping orchestration, and lyrical odes to fate, myth, and warfare.
Produced once again by Ryan Huthnance at Emissary Studios, Inevitable Death captures the sharpened edge of the band’s evolving sound. Fans of Kreator, Amon Amarth, and Machine Head will find familiar fire here, but with an identity that is unmistakably Evocatus—tight, towering, and unapologetically intense.
“We are beyond thrilled—and admittedly relieved—to finally unleash this beast,” the band declares. “INEVITABLE DEATH is the culmination of five years of blood, sweat, and beers. With WORMHOLEDEATH now standing beside us, we’re honoured to present this album to the world. We raise our horns to you, our friends, family, and fans, for your unwavering support over the years and in making this album possible. Here’s to ‘Inevitable Death’, and the tales of battle, myth, triumph, and death within—be prepared for a journey through the ages!”
Wormholedeath’s Carlo Bellotti praises the album as a bold and singular statement:
“It is very difficult to find precise influences, because the conceptual level of the compositions ranges between various stylistic strands, keeping in a very precise way, centred and very focused on a certain Death Metal with a Melodic vein. The project has a lot of personality, thanks also to fluid writing and an absolutely convincing execution. The experience gained over the years is clearly evident. The album has no weak points thanks to unquestionable compositional skills. This is the decisive union that gives you a unique stylistic imprint that always maintains a high maturity and intensity. The songs as well as the project itself, have their own specific identity that is extremely personal. The vocal work is awesome, as well as all the instrumental parts. Guitars and the rhythm section are powerful, and they do a great job in the composition and arrangements. I haven’t listened to a record of this sound matrix for a long time.”
EVOCATUS are:
Nich Shields – Vocals
Vaughan Jones – Guitars
Callan Douchkov – Guitars
Brad Delforce – Bass
Adam Watts – Drums
Finnish metallers Bloodred Hourglass will release their seventh album, We Should Be Buried Like This, on October 3rd. The band’s most aggressive full-length album consists of songs from the end of time, and will also feature guest soloists for the first time. This is how the band describes the upcoming album:
“We Should Be Buried Like This is our most honest and uncompromising album to date. It doesn’t ask questions or embellish; we don’t try to console, explain or prove anything – we say what had to be said.
For us, the album is a collection of end-of-the-world songs – not just about the end of the world, but also about certain feelings, beliefs and illusions. In the songs, love is just an echo, sacrifices feel empty and every feeling is an open wound. We deal with the decay of humanity, the mistakes repeated from generation to generation, the spirit of the times that feeds indifference, hatred and detachment, as well as self-centeredness and individualism that has grown to unhealthy proportions. The future looks black, and unfortunately it no longer scares us, but feels inevitable.
Musically, we are close to our own core: the album exudes raw, intense energy and guaranteed catchy melodic beauty and strength – a recognizable BRHG sound. We have also included a last breath of new elements: guest voices and moments where we reach outside the box. It feels especially good to stand on our own strong foundations, without the need to prove anything to anyone.
At the heart of the album is a feeling: letting go – without twisting, without filters. Total frustration with the status quo and smoldering anger erupt in the lyrics and explode in every riff. This is an album that was born from a compelling need to tear open and say things as they are. Perhaps that is why this became the most aggressive and straightforward whole we have ever made – and perhaps that is why it looks the most like us.”
In addition to the traditional vinyl and CD formats, the album is available as a limited edition Splatter vinyl and a double CD, which includes a bonus live album of a concert with the Mikkeli City Orchestra, “Live With St. Michel Strings”. Pre-orders for the album are now open.

Mexico’s rising groove metal juggernaut Animal Rage has just unleashed their latest sonic assault, “Your Mouth Is Your Downfall”—a punishing anthem ripped straight from the heart of their upcoming full-length, Last Standing Man, arriving soon via Wormholedeath.
Built on groove-laden riffs, primal fury, and a warrior’s spirit, the track hits like a gauntlet thrown at the face of deception. This is a war cry for anyone who’s battled false promises, fake evolutions, and empty words. A brutal reminder: your words can be your weapon—or your ruin.
Forged in the chaos of 2020, Animal Rage emerged from Mexico with a genre-melding style they proudly dub “Fused Metal”—a high-voltage blend of groove, progressive, and heavy metal. Founders Dave Coral (guitar) and Abe Fënix (vocals) laid the groundwork, bringing in key collaborators including the legendary Aquiles Priester (W.A.S.P., Angra) on drums. In 2025, the lineup evolved with Amos Roux (guitar), Gabriel Richer (drums), and Abe Fenix (vocals), marking a bold new chapter for the band.
Crafted over 2024–2025, “Too Late” is the latest release from Finnish Doom Metal band Wizards of Hazards’ upcoming catalog — a track that came together piece by piece, like a puzzle clicking into place.
And we let the Wizards themselves to tell about the song:
“It all started with a riff — originally played in reverse. But in Ville’s head, it kept flipping around. When we finally tried it the other way, everything suddenly made sense. The groove locked in, the energy clicked, and the song found its true shape.
The drums were recorded in full takes, capturing the raw feel of a live performance — we picked the best take, the one that had just the right momentum. Amir brought his signature laid-back style to the bass, composing much of the line on the spot in the studio, letting instinct lead the way.
Vocally, Ville and producer Sam nailed an intense drive that powers the whole track. Originally, the verses felt a bit cramped — until a breakthrough moment where the final line was lifted to the top of the next section. Suddenly, the lyrics had room to breathe, and the phrasing came alive.
And the final touch? A subtle effect on the intro riff with a volume drop — making the moment the full band kicks in hit like a cannon blast.
“Too Late” is a song that came to life through experimentation, intuition, and instinct — and we can’t wait for you to hear it.”
WIZARDS OF HAZARDS are a traditional Doom Metal band from Middle Finland. Sharing the same interest for vintage instruments and heavy music composing. Their musical influences come from the recordings of the analog aeons, mostly 70’s and 80’s heavy metal, and their lyrics are inspired by bygone times, supernatural phenomenons and old tales & beliefs. After decades of jamming and performing as a trio, they shifted their shapes into a four piece and changed their name to WIZARDS OF HAZARDS.
