Avatar, who have built a large and loyal fan base with their distinctive and theatrical music, continue their steady journey towards the top of the global metal scene. The new single Captain Goat is now available on all streaming services.
“I think when people listen to Captain Goat, it becomes clear that the rules have changed again. We never do the same song twice, and we are always looking for new ways to reinvent ourselves. It’s the only way we know how – and the only way to give ourselves the opportunity to be better than ever before. The song uses Satan and the spirit’s journey through the underworld as a meditation tool. It’s about negotiating with the hard truths of existence – and finding acceptance as you walk through the darkness of a merciless life,” says singer Johannes Eckerström, and continues:
“In the music video for the song, we play with this theme shamelessly, borrowing imagery from various myths, folk tales and legends. And besides – every day I get to see the boys undress for a role is a good day for all of us.”
On the tour front, Avatar is, as usual, in full swing. In the summer, the band will embark on a tour with Iron Maiden. In February, the band will be on their own European tour. Next year, Avatar will also perform at four Metallica shows in Germany, Hungary, Ireland and the UK. See all the show dates here.
Finnish extreme metal band Vanguardian releases their fourth single from the upcoming debut album.“LI-2 XA-1” drops on 28th of May 2025.
The first conscious moment of life is an existential crisis. In the case of LI-2 XA-1, the first conscious moment is tinged with destruction and terror. The band explains:
“The song is one of the most straightforward compositions on our upcoming release, full of aggressive command and rhythmic playfulness. LI-2 XA-1 underlines the theme of the forthcoming release by addressing the limits of consciousness, humanity and technological development. Blast this one loud!”
The song is produced by Vanguardian. Mixing and mastering was done by Jami Honkala.
Waking Iris is a band of rock misfits from Finland who finally found a band to call home. Their debut single “Rock Forever” is an ode to a life spent in the endless pursuit of rock glory, one dive bar at a time. The band shakes off another rough night, takes the stage again and delivers an anthem for every rocker who never made it, but will never back down. The song is the perfect introduction for Waking Iris, a collection of talented rockers from the thriving underground rock scene in west Helsinki.
Waking Iris was born in the heart of the underground rock scene in Kivenlahti Finland. Canadian singer/songwriter Brian Forth fronts the group of Finnish rockers including Tim Norrgrann (Gtarzee) on lead guitar, Reda Kramdi on drums, Pauliina Järvisalo on keyboards and Ilkka Pättiniemi on bass. The sound has echoes of 80’s melodic rock infused with grunge-style grit, epic lead guitar, high energy percussion and fast-moving bass lines.
The song was partly recorded in Soundwell Studio with the aid of Valtteri Kallio and in Groundzero Studios in Stockholm by producers Joakim Hillson and Johan Öberg, both of whom also mixed the track. The song was mastered in Carisma Studio in Sweden by Tomas Caris Andersson.
Finnish blackened death metal band Progeny of Sun is set to release the second studio album ‘Prophets of the Void’ on September 5th 2025 via Inverse Records. The second single ‘Decimation’ is out now.
Guitarist Jaakko Hautamäki comments:
“Niko kindly suggested to Joni that we should have a “pumping song” so it wouldn’t get cold on stage. I looked at my phone to see what the hell this was about. Joni had written the song and Niko immediately wrote the lyrics. Pepe was allowed to record the drums exactly as he wanted, as long as they matched Joni’s demo tracks made by mouse. I tried to participate in the project by adding massive synth sections to the song. In the end there was only one left, but I had to do something. Töle had been complaining for years that the songs could be a bit more challenging. Joni relented and immediately added two bass solos to the song. Niko also surprised everyone with his kindness by giving Töle a record amount of backing vocals, some of which were even solo parts. So there you have it, and the main thing is that the bassist now has something fun to do at gigs.”
BIOGRAPHY:
In the beginning, Progeny of Sun was a two-man band formed by Jaakko Hautamäki and Niko Aromaa. Jaakko was responsible for the instrumentals, mixing, and mastering, while Niko handled the vocals, lyrics, visuals, etc.
The songs Jaakko introduced were very versatile. Some had speed, some were slow, some painted a picture with their atmosphere, and some were more straightforward bangers. Despite the diversity in style, everything worked exceptionally well in tandem, and from this premise, the band started to develop and pave its own way forward.
To start with, Progeny of Sun created a 6-song self-titled EP and discovered that their music was met with great reception. The duo behind the band did all the mixing, mastering, videos, and artwork themselves. The project as a whole was very fun and rewarding to work on.
After the EP release, Jaakko and Niko began to think that something more was still needed. They still had a burning desire to spread their music around the world, but with just two people, it would have been impossible.
Subsequently, Jaakko found two local musicians from the Seinäjoki area: Joni Kiviniemi (guitar) and Juha Peura (drums). Joni and Juha were initially brought on board just to offer their vision and play their assigned instruments for new material. Soon, however, it began to feel like they were part of the family, and so it was decided that they would become full-fledged members of the squad and a part of the band’s story. Not long after, Tuomo Tolkki (bass) was also welcomed to join, and in a matter of a few months, the full lineup was formed.
The first release with the full lineup, a 3-track EP ‘Dark Wanderer’, was released in 2021. Next in line were the single releases ‘Worthless’ and ‘Anguish’, which were released in 2022. Thanks to the aforementioned experimental phase, Progeny of Sun has gained self-confidence and started to understand its own identity. The band worked hard on the debut album ‘Throne of Desolation’, which was released at the end of 2023. Progeny of Sun’s second album ‘Prophets of the Void’ will be released in September 2025. Following their debut album, the band has identified their strengths, which are utilized and showcased even more prominently on the second album.
Line-up:
Niko Aromaa – Vocals
Jaakko Hautamäki – Guitar
Joni Kiviniemi – Guitar
Tuomo Tolkki – Bass

Famed Rockers HONEYMOON SUITE are proud to announce that their highly anticipated ninth studio album is dropping this summer! Entitled ‘Wake Me Up When the Sun Goes Down,’this new full-length will be released via Frontiers Music Srl and hits on July 25, 2025.
As a follow-up to their electrifying 2024 release ‘Alive,’ ‘Wake Me Up…’ marks another exciting chapter in the band’s storied career. Known for their infectious blend of melodic rock, powerful hooks, and captivating lyrics, this legendary Canadian band continues to honor its classic 80s-inspired sound while embracing contemporary production techniques. The new album showcases the group’s signature style — a fusion of hard-hitting rock energy and smooth, melodic anthems — but with an updated sonic twist, adding a modern touch that fans have come to expect after their previous successes.
Celebrating the announcement, HONEYMOON SUITE shares the album’s first single, “I Fly,” along with a new music video.
About the single, Derry Grehan comments:
“I had originally come in with the music that ended up becoming ‘I Fly.’ We had a great chorus, and we knew the track could be super cool if we finished it right. There were several re-writes over the course of a few months, but we finally hit on a really great verse and pre-chorus that rolled perfectly into the ‘I Fly’ chorus. I felt bad for Johnnie as Mikepushed him to his limits when cutting the vocal, but sometimes that’s what it takes, and the results speak for themselves. Johnnie is singing better than ever!
“The lyrics are metaphorical. They talk about being on a plane, taking off into a new life, and leaving a bad situation behind on the ground. Finding a new freedom and the strength it takes to change. It’s a very positive song, and I think a lot of people can relate.”
‘Wake Me Up When the Sun Goes Down’ sees the band continuing their commitment to the rock genre, staying true to the powerful, melodic music that made them a household name in the 1980s. Fans can expect driving rhythms, soaring guitar solos courtesy of Derry Grehan, and the signature emotive vocals of lead singer Johnnie Dee. HONEYMOON SUITE’s earlier work, including iconic hits like “New Girl Now,” “Feel It Again,” and “Lethal Weapon,” established them as one of Canada’s most beloved rock bands, and their ability to evolve while keeping their classic sound intact continues to resonate with both old and new listeners alike.
Once again, the band has joined forces with acclaimed producer and songwriter Michael Krompass (Steven Tyler, Theory of a Dead Man, Smash Mouth), who helped shape the sound of their 2024 album ‘Alive.’ Krompass’s ability to blend the past and present is evident here, as the album resonates with the same nostalgic vibe that has defined HONEYMOON SUITE’s enduring legacy, while incorporating the latest production trends that elevate their sound to new heights.
Derry comments on ‘Wake Me Up When the Sun Goes Down’:
“The new album actually came together pretty quickly compared to ‘Alive.’ We didn’t have a pandemic to deal with. Also, our producer, Mike Krompass, had moved back to Canada, and this put us all much closer together. We recorded most everything at Mike’s home studio outside of Toronto. A lot of the songs were written quickly by Johnnie, Mike, and me in the studio, and I think they have a very fresh, live sound with a sense of urgency and excitement. I had also brought in a few much older ideas that we re-worked and made into great new songs. The album is classic HONEYMOON SUITE. Every song is different and great in its own way. It’s an album that will grow on you the more you listen, and we think people are going to love it.”
From their self-titled debut album in 1985 to the success of ‘Racing After Midnight’ and ‘Monsters Under the Bed,’ HONEYMOON SUITE has maintained a loyal fan base, producing a series of chart-topping records that continue to define the rock genre. Their latest effort proves that, nearly four decades later, the band is still firing on all cylinders.
With this new album, HONEYMOON SUITE demonstrates their ability to stay relevant and energized in today’s music scene while still tapping into the timeless essence that made them a staple of the 80s rock era. The album delivers a collection of tracks brimming with both high-octane rockers and more introspective moments, all marked by the band’s trademark energy and musicianship. From its anthemic choruses to its emotive lyrics, ‘Wake Me Up When the Sun Goes Down’ reaffirms that HONEYMOON SUITE remains one of rock’s most enduring and exciting acts, ever evolving but never straying from the heart of what made them legends.

HONEYMOON SUITE was originally formed in 1981 by lead vocalist and guitarist Johnnie Dee from Niagara Falls, Ontario. After the departure of the original lead guitarist, fellow Niagara Falls native Derry Grehan joined the band. Together, Johnnie and Derryrebuilt the lineup, adding Dave Betts on drums, Ray Coburn on keyboards, and Gary Lalonde on bass. The band quickly hit the road, performing six nights a week and writing relentlessly with hopes of securing a record deal.
In 1983, they entered a demo of “New Girl Now” into a homegrown contest hosted by Toronto rock station Q107. Winning the contest led to a multi-album deal with WEA Canada, signed by industry legend Bob Roper.
Their debut self-titled album, released in July 1984, was an immediate success. With massive airplay, videos in heavy rotation on MTV and MuchMusic, and national touring, the album went on to sell over 300,000 units in Canada alone.
Since then, HONEYMOON SUITE has released seven studio albums, with over 1 million units sold worldwide. They’ve produced a string of classic rock hits, including:
“New Girl Now,” “Burning In Love,” “Wave Babies,” “Stay in the Light,” “Feel It Again,” and “What Does It Take.”
The band has earned numerous accolades, including:
· A Juno Award for Group of the Year (1986)
· Triple platinum sales in Canada for their first three albums
· Platinum sales for their 1989 greatest hits release, ‘The Singles’
· A 2015 SOCAN award recognizing 100,000+ radio performances in Canada for multiple tracks
They’ve toured extensively across Canada, the U.S., and Europe, sharing the stage with artists such as ZZ Top, Heart, Billy Idol, Journey, Bryan Adams, Saga, Loverboy, Jethro Tull, and .38 Special.
Their songs have also appeared in major TV shows like Miami Vice and Bones, and films including Lethal Weapon and One Crazy Summer.
While the 1990s brought lineup changes, the early 2000s saw the reunion of the original members — Johnnie, Derry, Gary, and Dave — along with the addition of keyboardist Peter Nunn, a lineup that remains strong to this day.
In 2020, with a renewed creative spark and a catalog of new songs, Johnnie and Derryconnected with acclaimed Canadian producer and songwriter Mike Krompass (credits include Everybody Loves An Outlaw, Steven Tyler, Theory of a Deadman, and Smash Mouth). Mike brought a fresh, modern edge to the band’s signature melodic rock style. His role as co-writer and producer was key in shaping the sound of their highly anticipated eighth studio album.
The first single, “Tell Me What You Want,” dropped in October 2019 and was met with strong support from fans and radio. The follow-up single, “Find What You’re Looking For,” released in June 2020, became a Top 30 hit on Canadian Billboard AOR radio, marking HONEYMOON SUITE’s first chart appearance in 19 years.
Their 2023 release, ‘Alive,’ confirmed that the band is still at the top of their game. Produced by Mike Krompass, the album blends soaring vocals, unforgettable guitar riffs, and tight production into a timeless collection of arena-worthy rock anthems.
HONEYMOON SUITE are: Johnnie Dee – lead vocals
Derry Greham – guitars / keyboards / backing vocals
Dave Betts – drums
Gary Lalonde – bass
Peter Nunn – keyboards

Hailing from Vantaa, Finland, Shiraz Lane started their musical journey in 2011. Their vision of a perfect blend of sonic combustion and elegant delicacy started to blossom and reach its potential when the current line-up was solidified in 2014 and the band released their first EP “Be The Slave Or Be The Change”.
The band gained great international attention from the very beginning, and soon the young Finns
were flying from Japan to South America, playing in Europe’s coolest clubs & summer festivals and had their warm first contact also with the US audience on the Monsters of Rock cruise.
Shiraz Lane resonates through their double-edged guitar sound (provided by Jani Laine and Miki
Kalske), percussive ground-pounding clockwork (Ana Vilkkumaa, drums & Joel Alex, bass) and the supersonic melodies chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. They are one of the most intriguing and entertaining bands in the current Hard Rock scene, bringing in a fresh breeze in terms of both compositions and live performance.
In addition to their debut EP, other most notable releases include the albums “For Crying Out Loud”, “Carnival Days”, “Vibration I”, “Forgotten Shades Of Life” and “Acoustic Archives’’.
Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their predecessors, the sound and style of Shiraz Lane is unique, bold and contemporary. This has manifested in collaborations such as extensive international touring (sharing stages with bands such as KISS, Deep Purple, H.E.A.T &
Crashdïet), national TV appearances, the gaming world and, most importantly, an exponentially growing & dedicated fanbase around the world.
Line Up:
Hannes Kett – Vocals
Jani Laine – Guitar

Belgian death metal force WOUND COLLECTOR has inked a worldwide deal with Wormholedeath Records for the release of their sophomorealbum. More info coming soon!
Renowned for their audacious fusion of brutal death metal and avant-garde saxophone, the band carves a unique niche alongside acts like Nile and Imperial Triumphant, delivering relentless aggression with an unorthodox twist.
Formed in 2015 by saxophonist/composer Peter Verdonck (Thelema Trio, Ambrassband), WOUND COLLECTOR merges technical death metal with haunting saxophone melodies, defying genre conventions. The current lineup—Guy Van Campenhout (7-string guitar), Stijn Deldaele (bass), and Nico Veroeven (drums)—continues to push boundaries, building on a legacy that includes 2020’s Depravity (featuring Aeon’s Tommy Dahlströhm) and 2023’s self-released EP Begging For Chicxulub.
The debut album, Eternal Bloodcult, was released in 2018 via Profane Records, cementing the band’s reputation for unrelenting intensity and innovation.
Having shared stages with Brujeria, Cattle Decapitation, and The Monolith Deathcult, the band continues to electrify audiences with their visceral live performances.
Italian folk metal band Aexylium proudly returns with their third studio album, “Myth of Mankind,” out now via Rockshots Records. With this new chapter, the band takes a decisive step forward in style and substance, offering their most mature and focused work.
Formed in 2014, Aexylium has always stood out for its ability to merge the raw intensity of modern metal with the warm, evocative tones of traditional instruments, building a sound that is both powerful and atmospheric. With “Myth of Mankind,” the band pushes that blend even further, refining every aspect of their songwriting and production while exploring deeper, more introspective themes. The album moves away from the more mythological narratives of the past, instead embracing abstract reflections on the human condition, identity, and the complexity of existence in the modern world.
Musically, “Myth of Mankind” is an intense yet melodic journey, built on technical guitar work, immersive orchestration, and the interplay between aggression and elegance. The album also marks a turning point in the band’s lineup, introducing vocalist Sam Biganzoli, whose expressive and multifaceted vocal range brings new emotional depth and narrative strength. Alongside him, drummer Alberto Mezzanotte (ex-Frozen Crown, Nekomata, Apple Sauce) and guitarist Luca Perrone (founder of Apple Sauce) contributed to a renewed creative energy that flows through every track on the record.
To celebrate the album’s release, Aexylium has also unveiled the official music video for the track “Hexe”.
“Hexe” perfectly represents the spirit of the album—a high-impact, rhythm-driven song that combines rich melodic lines with a powerful vocal performance from Sam Biganzoli delivering intensity and momentum without ever losing the folk essence that defines the band’s DNA. Visually and sonically, the video amplifies the track’s energy and emotion, offering a powerful introduction to the album’s vision.
With previous albums “Tales from This Land” (2018) and “The Fifth Season” (2021), Aexylium laid the groundwork for their identity within the folk metal genre. But with “Myth of Mankind”, they go further, crafting a sound that is not only rooted in tradition but shaped by modern sensibilities, progressive elements, and a cinematic scope. The result is an album that speaks both to long-time genre fans and to those seeking a richer, more evolved take on folk metal.
Aexylium’s music draws inspiration from acts like Eluveitie, Korpiklaani, Amorphis, Folkstone, Alestorm, and Mago de Oz, yet remains unmistakably their own. With “Myth of Mankind”, the band reaffirms its place as one of Italy’s most promising names in the scene, ready to leave a mark far beyond national borders.
The album was recorded by Davide Tavecchia at Twilight Studio and features stunning artwork created by the renowned artist Gustavo Sazes (Arch Enemy, Machine Head, Amaranthe).
Aexylium was formed in 2014 in Italy, merging the distinctive sound of traditional instruments with the modern intensity of metal.
The band has performed at many renowned European festivals including Dong Open Air, Tanzt!, Mead & Greed, Montelago Celtic Festival, Malpaga Folk & Metal, Druidia, and more. During these events, Aexylium shared the stage with several notable bands such as Blind Guardian, Elvenking, Wind Rose, Týr, Vision Divine, Furor Gallico, Temperance, and others.
Their debut album, ‘Tales From This Land’ (2018), was released through Underground Symphony Records. It was recorded at Twilight Studio by Davide Tavecchia and mastered by Simone Mularoni (Elvenking, DGM, Secret Sphere, etc).
In 2021, Aexylium signed a deal with Rockshots Records for their second album, ‘The Fifth Season’. The album was recorded at Twilight Studio with the artwork designed by Jan Yrlund of Darkgrove Design (Testament, Manowar, Korpiklaani). To date, the band has released six music videos as singles.
Compared to the last studio album, the band has welcomed Alberto Mezzanotte (drums), Luca Perrone (Guitar) and the frontman Sam Biganzoli into its lineup.
Aexylium’s partners include Solar Guitars, Footblaster, Liuteria Cocopelli, and Firebird Strumenti Musicali.
Danish virtuoso musician Nicklas Sonne shares his new single and accompanying lyric video “Helldivers Anthem”, taken from the upcoming studio album “Electric Dreams”, set for release on June 27th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Talking about the new single, Nicklas Sonne commented: “From one gamer to another – this is my tribute to the Helldivers. Loud riffs, big explosions, and just the right amount of sarcasm. Freedom never sleeps – and neither do we”.
Describing the album, he added: “This record is a deeply personal journey back to where it all began for me – to the raw energy and spirit of my earliest musical inspirations. It blends the soul of old school hard rock with the punch and clarity of a modern production, creating a soundscape that feels both nostalgic and new”.
Nicklas Sonne is a Danish musician, vocalist, guitarist, and producer known for his powerful presence in progressive and heavy metal. He began his musical experience as a drummer before moving onto the guitar and ultimately becoming a singer songwriter in an array of metal and hard rock projects, starting with Defecto, one of Denmark’s leading metal bands – created in 2010.

The dynamic duo released their debut album on Frontiers Music Srl on October 18th, 2024. It is a groundbreaking project that seamlessly fuses the evocative allure of film music with the raw power of heavy metal, creating an auditory experience that is nothing short of extraordinary.
A multi-instrumentalist from an early age, Nicklas honed his skills by playing along to Metallica and Dream Theater, later diving into songwriting and production. His talent quickly gained industry attention, leading to collaborations with renowned producers Jan Langhoff (Aqua) and Flemming Rasmussen (Metallica). This pivotal moment shaped his signature sound – progressive metal infused with orchestral and choral elements.
Other bands include Evil Masquerade, Theory, Hank Shermann, One Machine, Waving Memories, Section A, Metallica Jam, Wasted, Omvendt Korstog. His long career has included international tours in places such as Japan, and opening for Metal heavyweights including Metallica and Rammstein.
With a relentless work ethic and a passion for musical innovation, Nicklas Sonne continues to push the boundaries of modern metal, cementing his reputation as one of the most dynamic artists in the genre today.
