EXTREMA Unleash “Thrashing ‘Till The End – Live at Slaughter Club” – A 30-Year Thrash Milestone Captured in Full Force

Italian thrash metal pioneers EXTREMA are set to release “Thrashing ‘Till The End – Live at Slaughter Club”, a high-impact live document celebrating the 30th anniversary of their legendary debut “Tension At The Seams”. The performance was recorded at Slaughter Club in Paderno Dugnano (Milan) on October 7th, 2023 – exactly three decades after the album that helped redefine the sonic and cultural framework of Italian metal.

The full show will be rolled out as an episodic live video series on the band’s official YouTube channel, alongside a digital release across all major streaming platforms.

Released in 1993, “Tension At The Seams” stands as a cornerstone of European thrash: a record built on razor-sharp riffing, percussive precision, and an uncompromising compositional approach that pushed beyond genre orthodoxy. Its impact extended well beyond the Italian scene, setting new benchmarks in terms of arrangement density, production clarity, and expressive aggression.

To mark its 30th anniversary, EXTREMA returned to the stage with a purpose-built show engineered for maximum impact – conceived as a full-contact, no-compromise live assault. The setlist moves with surgical intent: a dominant portion of the debut album performed with renewed intensity, seamlessly integrated with key tracks from across the band’s catalog, culminating in material from their latest release, “Headbanging Forever”.

“Thrashing ‘Till The End – Live at Slaughter Club” captures that performance in its entirety – preserving the raw kinetic energy of the band’s live delivery while enhancing it through a modern visual production pipeline.

Beginning April 29th, all 16 tracks from the show will be released on a weekly schedule via the band’s official YouTube channel with three videos dropping per week – structuring the release as a sustained content cycle designed to maintain engagement and narrative continuity.

Filming and direction were handled by Daniele Farina, with the production delivered in 4K. The visual language combines tight shot sequencing, dynamic camera movement, and performance-focused editing, resulting in a final product that translates the physical intensity of the live set into a sharp, high-definition audiovisual experience.

BIOGRAPHY:

Extrema is an Italian thrash metal band formed in Milan in 1986. Known as pioneers of the thrash metal scene in Italy, they have carved out a reputation for their aggressive sound and relentless energy, both in the studio and on stage.

The band’s original lineup included guitarist Tommy Massara, vocalist/guitarist Andrea Boria, bassist Luca Varisco, and drummer Stefano Bullegas. Their debut EP, “We Fuckin’ Care” (1987), marked the beginning of their journey, selling 3,000 copies mainly through word of mouth and cementing their presence in the underground metal scene.

Despite challenges in gaining widespread recognition in Italy during their early years, Extrema gained credibility by opening for international heavyweights like Slayer, D.R.I., and Corrosion of Conformity. By 1993, the band underwent significant lineup changes, featuring Gianluca Perotti on vocals, Mattia Bigi on bass, and Chris Dalla Pellegrina on drums. With this lineup, they released their first full-length album, “Tension at the Seams“, which brought them to international festivals and stages, supporting acts such as Megadeth, The Cult, Suicidal Tendencies, and even Metallica.

In 1995, Extrema released their second album, “The Positive Pressure (Of Injustice)“, showcasing a more groove-oriented thrash sound influenced by contemporaries like Pantera and Machine Head. Although the late ’90s saw a decline in thrash metal’s popularity, the band remained active, producing albums like “Better Mad Than Dead” (2001) and “Set the World on Fire” (2005).

The band released their “Pound for Pound” (2009), followed by “The Seed of Foolishness” (2013). Their ability to adapt while staying true to their thrash roots kept them relevant in a rapidly changing metal landscape.

Their last studio album, “Headbanging Forever” (2019), released through Rockshots Records, marks a triumphant return blending their signature thrash grooves with a modern edge.

In October 2023, Extrema celebrated the 30th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, “Tension at the Seams“, with the release of a special 30th Anniversary Boxset Edition, also under Rockshots Records. The box set includes a remastered version of the album from the original tapes, available in three formats: Blue Vinyl, Cassette, and Digital Download.

When Worlds Collide – Powerman 5000 Meet Die Krupps In A Shattering Remix Of The 1999 Monster Hit

When Powerman 5000 broke through in 1999, with their third album Tonight The Stars Revolt! and the single “When World’s Collide,” the Boston band was already close to celebrating its tenth anniversary.
Now they’re bearing down on the fortieth, but Powerman 5000 continue living up to their name, with a further dozen albums to their credit, and some of the most instantly appealing album titles in music history – from The Blood-Splat Rating System to Somewhere On The Other Side of Nowhere, and on to the still-resonant Anyone For Doomsday, Powerman 5000’s nomenclatural ingenuity is just one more reason to love this band.
Now another of their titular triumphs prepares to come back beneath the microscope as Cleopatra Records prepare a very special reissue of The Noble Rot, the ever-adventurous industrial metal mavericks’ much-praised 2020 album, and one that is already loaded down with major hits… a spellbinding rerecording of “When Worlds Collide” made for a very well-chosen bonus track, but elsewhere on the disc, a dark reimagining of The GoGo’s “We Got The Beat!” joined the band’s own classics-in-waiting “Black Lipstick” and “Cannibal Killers That Kill Everyone”
Streeting on May 29, this new edition of the album includes two further tumultuous tracks, as German industrial legends Die Krupps deliver fresh, dynamic remixes of both “When Worlds Collide” and “Black Lipstick.”
“Black Lipstick” premiered a few weeks back, but today sees the one we’ve all been waiting for, as “When Worlds Collide (Die Krupps Remix)” spin off as Powerman 5000’s latest single.  The biggest song in Powerman’s repertoire is now among their most powerful, as well.

French heavy-metal outfit Parallel Minds unveiled new music video “Sekigahara”

French modern heavy metal outfit Parallel Minds unveil a brand new music video for their latest single “Sekigahara” — a powerful and cinematic new chapter in the band’s evolving universe.

Fusing razor-sharp precision, progressive structures, and sheer intensity, “Sekigahara” stands as one of the most striking pieces taken from their recently released album ‘Cairn’.

The track channels both violence and introspection, echoing the historical weight of its name while delivering a deeply immersive sonic experience.

With ‘Cairn’, Parallel Minds deliver their most ambitious work to date — a modern heavy metal statement driven by emotional depth, technical mastery, and a strong conceptual backbone.

The album explores the human condition through themes of suffering, resilience, and reconstruction, moving seamlessly between progressive complexity, thrash aggression, and epic orchestration.

Parallel Minds is a French modern heavy metal project driven by a clear artistic direction: combining technical precision with strong emotional and conceptual depth.

Their music navigates across genres, drawing influence from the progressive structures of Symphony X, the aggressive edge of Testament, and the epic dimension of Blind Guardian — while maintaining a distinct and cohesive identity.

With Cairn, Parallel Minds expands its scope through international collaborations, reinforcing the album’s thematic focus on shared human experiences.

Finnish melodic death/black metal band Se, Josta Ei Puhuta released the last single from their forthcoming fourth album

The Finnish melodic death/black metal band Se, Josta Ei Puhuta are set to release their fourth studio album, Syvyyden portit on saatava auki, on 29 May 2026 via Inverse Records. The third single ‘Muinaiset jumalat kuuntelevat’ was just unleashed and its accompanying music video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/-nYlC4QHaNg 

The band comments:
“When the shadows grow, they light your path, but too close their radiance will blind you. Ancient gods will hear when you are ready. Great masters will see if you are ready.

Muinaiset jumalat kuuntelevat is a call and a trial. It is a song where darkness is no longer something to escape, but something to kneel before. Where Varis proclaims and warns, this song takes it one step further, into the moment where the listener stands alone and is forced to answer.

The song builds layer by layer, mid-tempo and oppressive, like a ritual tightening its grip. Heavier surges and breathing spaces alternate until everything is pressed into a single movement that cannot be stepped away from. The atmosphere does not explode, it presses down and lingers.

In this world, liberation is not gentle. It demands sacrifice, marks carved into the skin, and a decision that cannot be undone. Ancient forces do not guide, they watch, they listen, and they wait. And when the moment comes, they take what is theirs.

Muinaiset jumalat kuuntelevat is a song about surrender. About the moment when you realize the question is no longer whether you want in, but whether you are ready.”

BIOGRAPHY:

Se, josta ei puhuta is a metal band from Iisalmi. The band was founded in 2007.

That same year, the band recorded a four-track demo titled Se, josta ei puhuta and signed a recording contract with the Sound of Finland label in the spring of 2010. The album Ne, joista ei puhuta was released in May 2010.

In the spring of 2011, the band recorded their second studio album, Musta, kylmä, syvä ja samea (Black, cold, deep and murky), which was released by Spinefarm Records in November 2011.

In 2010 and 2011, Se, josta ei puhuta toured actively across Finnish venues. The band began preparations for a third album, which was, however, put on hold during the production phase in late 2012.

In 2022, as a result of the band’s rebirth, the third album Gehenna was completed and released through Inverse Records. The lineup, which had remained unchanged until then, saw its first change when Jimi Myöhänen was chosen as the drummer following the release of the new album.

The band finished recording their fourth album Syvyyden portit on saatava auki-  in the fall of 2025, and the album is scheduled to be released during 2026.

Over the years, the rawness of the band’s early HC punk and death metal has evolved into a more complex, black metal-influenced death metal, while still proudly maintaining the edginess of their early days.

Prepare For “The Battle of The Dead” – The Title Track From EMBRACE OF SOULS’ New Concept Album Out May 2026

After crossing the 100,000 views mark with the official video for “Desolate Lands”, Italian symphonic power metal band Embrace Of Souls return with “The Battle Of The Dead”, a new single accompanied by an official music video, which is the title track of their upcoming album set for release on May 22, 2026, via Rockshots Records.

A fundamental moment within the album’s narrative, “The Battle Of The Dead,” brings the story to its most critical stage. Set in a medieval world ravaged by a mysterious plague that corrupts human souls, the track captures the escalation of a conflict that inevitably leads to war between the living and the dead, exploring themes of power, sacrifice, and destiny.

“This song represents the core of the entire album. It’s where everything converges – the story, the emotions, the conflict. We wanted it to feel powerful, dramatic, and meaningful, both musically and narratively.”

Musically, the band consolidates its identity within the European symphonic power metal tradition. Driving rhythmic structures and precise double-kick patterns intertwine with Edward De Rosa’s melodic guitar work, while Davide Baldelli’s layered keyboards and choral elements enrich the arrangements, shaping a sound that balances impact and atmosphere with clarity and direction. Xavier Rota’s bass work reinforces the overall sonic framework, adding depth and cohesion. The contrast between Giacomo Rossi’s direct heavy metal vocals and Martina Mazzeo’s operatic voice further defines the band’s sonic signature, enhancing both depth and dynamic range.

The official music video expands the narrative dimension of the track, visually reinforcing the album’s concept and strengthening the connection between storytelling and musical development.

“The Battle Of The Dead” builds on the path introduced by “Desolate Lands”, confirming the band’s evolution toward a more cohesive and concept-driven approach. Together, the two singles offer a clear perspective on the scope of the upcoming album, conceived as a unified listening experience where each track contributes to the overall storyline.

Founded by drummer and composer Michele Olmi, Embrace Of Souls began as a studio project designed to bring together different musicians within a shared creative vision, before evolving into a fully realized band. Over the years, they have shared the stage with Domine, Vision Divine, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, and Rhapsody Of Fire, steadily strengthening their presence within the European metal scene.

The upcoming album “The Battle Of The Dead” will feature 11 tracks, further developing the band’s blend of classic power metal, symphonic elements and narrative ambition.

BIOGRAPHY:

Embrace Of Souls is an Italian power metal band founded by drummer and composer Michele Olmi, conceived with the aim of bringing together talented musicians around a shared vision rooted in collaboration, brotherhood, and a deep passion for classic metal. Initially born as a studio project, the band took shape with the release of their debut album “The Number Of Destiny” in 2021, receiving positive feedback on an international level and notable acclaim in Japan.

Drawing inspiration from ’80s and ’90s heavy and power metal, as well as the epic and symphonic metal of the early 2000s, Embrace Of Souls developed a sound characterized by powerful riffs, epic atmospheres, and strong melodic sensibility. Over time, the project evolved into a full live band, allowing the group to further consolidate its artistic identity and deepen its expressive range.

In 2024, Embrace Of Souls returned with their second full-length album, “Forever Part Of Me,” marking a significant step forward in terms of maturity and songwriting. This phase also introduced important changes within the line-up, bringing renewed energy and a broader musical perspective to the band’s sound.

A key element of this evolution is the current vocal pairing. Giacomo Rossi, already involved in previous releases, now takes on a central role as lead vocalist while Martina Mazzeo, an accomplished soprano vocalist, adds a symphonic and operatic dimension to the band’s music. Together, their voices embody the duality that defines Embrace Of Souls: light and darkness, power and elegance, intensity and emotion.

Having shared the stage with renowned acts such as Domine, Vision Divine, Stratovarius, Sonata Arctica, and Rhapsody Of Fire, Embrace Of Souls continue to refine their identity while looking toward the future. The band is now working on new material, further developing their epic and narrative-driven approach to solidify their presence on the international power metal scene.

Montreal Cult Heavy‑Rock PARADISE Erupts Back In 2026 w/ “Queen of Mars”, A First Taste of New Music Since 2020

After years of silence, speculation, and simmering creative energy, Montreal’s cult heavy‑rock outfit Paradise erupts back onto the scene with their first new music since their 2020 self‑titled album. The band announces their long‑awaited return with the upcoming single and music video “Queen of Mars,” marking the beginning of a bold new chapter in their cosmic, riff‑driven mythology.
​
Formed in 2002 during a lightning‑strike moment of inspiration, Paradise built their identity on what they call “volcanic rock”, a molten blend of heavy rock, classic metal, and stoner‑rock undertones. Their early albums “Rock Anthropologists on the Kon‑Tiki Voyage” (2002) and “Hotel” (2005) became underground favorites, fueled by wild creativity, tongue‑in‑cheek concept worlds, and collaborations with icons like Voivod’s Michel “Away” Langevin and the late Denis “Piggy” D’Amour.​
​
Their 2020 self‑titled comeback album re‑established the band with a harder, sharper edge. Now, in 2026, Paradise resurfaces once more, this time with a fully realized retro‑futuristic vision inspired by the sci‑fi imagery of the ’60s and ’70s.
​
The band’s new single, “Queen of Mars,” introduces listeners to a cinematic, hypnotic space‑rock sound that expands Paradise’s sonic universe while staying rooted in their heavy‑rock DNA.
​
The track paints a vivid portrait of a timeless, wandering figure, the Queen of Mars, who embodies freedom, resilience, and cosmic sovereignty. Moving through a desert of memory and isolation, she becomes a mythic symbol of transformation and inner power. Musically, the song blends atmospheric guitars, ritualistic rhythms, and poetic, controlled vocals, landing somewhere between Hawkwind’s cosmic rock, Dozer’s desert‑space textures, and the dramatic sweep of Muse.
​
​“It’s been a while since we’ve put something out, so I know some fans have been waiting. We’re close to the sound of our last record, but there are surprises. We used ’60s and ’70s sci‑fi imagery to inspire us, sounds and moods from far beyond,” says guitarist Frank Kelly.
​
Kelly remains the band’s primary music writer, working closely with vocalist R.L. Black on lyrics and melodies. For this new material, they also brought in Luc Bourgeois (Sandveiss) to elevate the songwriting even further.
​
​“We just let it go, whichever song was ready first. We’re doing this for fun and to keep the creativity going. We hope people get it, but honestly, we’re having a blast,” adds Kelly.
​
​Paradise has 8–9 new songs in the pipeline, all shaped by their signature approach: naming tracks early in the writing process to set the tone and guide the lyrical world. This time, that world is drenched in analog futures, cosmic psychedelia, and B‑movie sci‑fi charm, a natural evolution of the band’s long‑standing love for heavy music, from Judas Priest and Dio to Kyuss and Fu Manchu.
​
​Paradise’s live reputation remains intact: high‑energy, high‑intensity, and unapologetically fun.
​​
“We’re a party band. Just five guys having a blast. So many bands take this too seriously; it takes the fun out of it,” comments Kelly.
​
With their return, fans can expect a renewed sense of adventure, a deeper dive into their cosmic aesthetic, and a sound that continues to evolve without losing the volcanic spark that defined them from day one.

About: Born in Montreal in 2002, Paradise emerged from a whirlwind of creativity that led to their debut Rock Anthropologists on the Kon‑Tiki Voyage, followed by Hotel (2005). After a long hiatus, the band returned in 2020 with their self‑titled third album, blending hard rock and heavy metal with razor‑sharp riffs and soaring melodies. Now, in 2026, Paradise reclaims their place in the heavy‑rock cosmos with a new sci‑fi–inspired chapter and the upcoming single “Queen of Mars.”

The renewed Segmentia is heavier, darker, and more romantic – new single “Before The Dawn” and music video are out now

The Finnish metal band Segmentia has reinvented itself and now bows to the melancholic culture of their homeland, Finland. The first single “Before The Dawn” from the band’s debut album is weaving together heavy guitar textures, melancholic melodies, and a delicate yet intense performance.

“When I composed the piano melody for the song, I was inspired by Paradise Lost’s One Second. The heavy guitars are the backbone of the track, emphasizing the atmosphere I was aiming for while composing BTD,” says the band’s frontman and composer Jere Luokkamäki.

“Before The Dawn” is dark in atmosphere, yet at the same time a hopeful protest against withering bitterness, acknowledging a love that, in its eternity, never dies.

“Love songs, especially breakup songs, are often some kind of empowerment anthems – I don’t know how to write those. I wanted to approach the lyrics in a broader temporal context — what about when the wounds have healed, when anger and bitterness have subsided? Do we dare to walk the path all the way to grace?” says Kansana, the song’s lead lyricist.

The music video for “Before The Dawn” is visually as rich as a French film, while also serving as the opening chapter of an audiovisual trilogy. The video has previously been shown in a private preview.

“It’s rare that something gives me goosebumps, but this music and video combination did just that. Absolutely incredible!” says Joni Kantoniemi of Inverse Records.

The atmospheric video was filmed in an over 200-year-old Ostrobothnian house called ‘Itämäen talo’. “The music video introduces the first pieces of a larger puzzle we’ve been building. Segmentia is a band whose future is worth watching — and listening to — closely,” says Tomi Salminen (ToJuSa Media), the creator of the music video.

The track, which was previously featured in a preview on a Finnish national radio station, YleX, is now available on all streaming platforms, and the music video can be watched on the band’s YouTube channel.

Heimwerker Video Interview

Austrian chaos‑collective Heimwerker is not just another punk band, they are a full‑blown incursion from an evil parallel universe lurking somewhere beyond the chairs, the furniture, and every horrible planet you would rather not visit. Founded in 2021, the quartet of Aki Streeter, Kami Kaze, Redlight Alley, and FLOP forged their own genre in the debris: Post‑Apocalyptic Province‑Punk, a sound as unhinged and combustible as the world they claim to come from.
By 2023 the line‑up was locked, the mission was clear, and their debut album In Danger Of Collapse detonated into the scene; raw, abrasive, and impossible to ignore. Their live shows have already become the stuff of local legend: energetic, chaotic, and just the right amount of unhinged, like a party thrown at the end of the world with no intention of cleaning up afterward.
With new gigs lined up for summer and fall, Heimwerker’s invasion is far from over. In this interview, founder Aki Streeter opens the portal into their universe, their sound, and the strange forces that keep this PAPP‑band roaring forward.
