Degreed new digital EP “The Leftovers – Volume I” and “If It Wasn’t For Me” lyric video out now

Swedish rockers Degreed are excited to release the EP “The Leftovers – Volume I”, digitally available now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The new single and accompanying lyric video, “If It Wasn’t For Me”, are also out now.


Stream/Listen to “The Leftovers – Volume I” HERE

Talking about the new single, vocalist Robin Eriksson said: “I wrote this song on acoustic guitar, years ago. Probably 2017-2018, I think. Then we made an arrangement together in the band, that developed over several years until it became this version. It’s a modern melodic rock/AOR tune. Classic Degreed if you ask me. Great guitar solo by Daniel as well!”

Degreed have been releasing critically acclaimed music since the start of their career with their first album “Life, Love, Loss” in 2010. Over the course of their career, the band has gone from strength to strength with every release, touring and gaining fans all over the world. Their sound mixes classic melodic and hard rock sounds with more contemporary influences, offering the fans a very personal, fresh and exciting mix of great rock music.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band wasn’t able to tour on the heels of the release of the album “Lost Generation” in 2019. The band released the song “The World We Knew”, their musical summation of the year 2020 (the song became “Track of the Week” at Classic Rock Magazine’s website a week after its release) and then in 2021, Degreed began working on what would ultimately become “Are You Ready”, released in 2022.

The latest Degreed album, “Public Address”, was released on July 7, 2023, and it sees the band delivering on all of the promise of earlier efforts and reaching an absolute premiere moment in their musical creativity.

“The Leftovers – Volume I” Tracklist:

1. If It Wasn’t For Me
2. Good Enough
3. Love Your Enemy
4. Wildchild (tribute to Alexi Laiho)

TWELVE BACK STONES Release New Single and Video ‘Aniconic Superstar’

Out on all digital platforms, ‘Aniconic Superstar’ is the brand-new single by Italian hard rock band TWELVE BACK STONES, a project that blends rebellious attitude and modern vision into a sharp and meaningful track. Released by Volcano Records & Promotion, ‘Aniconic Superstar’ is a declaration against the decline of icons and superstars in today’s society.

 

The lyrics explore the loss of meaning behind symbolism and the media-driven collapse of iconic figures, replaced by shallow and fleeting attention. With a powerful sound inspired by legends like Velvet Revolver, Cult and L.A. Guns, Twelve Back Stones offer a blend of gritty energy and conceptual depth that hits hard both sonically and intellectually. The track is supported by an official music video now available on YouTube, a strong visual interpretation that echoes the track’s message.

Listen to Aniconic Superstar now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major streaming platforms.

Argon releases debut single “MARSSIE”

The Italian solo project Argon has released his first single “MARSSIE”.

Argon is an Italian musician and composer, coming from musical genres such as metalcore, progressive and djent, but now, after years spent in bands and various projects, he works as a soloist trying to express what he feels inside, without any kind of mental limitation or musical genre.
This time he brings his experience in a predominantly electronic genre, to create a relaxing sound that can be listened to by all types of people.

“MARSSIE is the first track of this new adventure. An adventure that is not only linked to my progressive musical expansion, thanks to an important change undergone in my personal life. Even in the most hostile place, against all premises, a seed is born, grows and matures. Change always happens, new life.”

This track will be part of an EP composed of three tracks. This will be the first release of many future EPs characterized by various genres. The idea for this first work is to produce songs in which the voice is the mind of the listener at any moment of his life.

Mors Silens Unleashes New Lyric Video for “Scorn” | New Album “Infernal Legacy” Coming May 9th

Hungarian extreme metal force Mors Silens unleashes a furious new lyric video for “Scorn”, a relentless descent into the rot of modern humanity. With searing riffs and unrelenting aggression, the track confronts a world poisoned by hatred, division, and decay, posing a haunting question: When hope is gone and only death remains, will we finally see what we’ve done?

Pre-save the album: orcd.co/infernallegacy

Formed in 2006, Mors Silens blends blistering speed with crushing heaviness. With multiple acclaimed releases—Call of the Nether Realm, World of Pain, and Under the Dark Sun—the band has toured internationally and shared stages with acts like Fleshgod Apocalypse and Kataklysm.

SVNTH Unleashes Unconventional Metal Versatility with New Album “Pink Noise Youth” + EU Tour Dates

Meshing styles like post-metal, gothic/doom, punk, post-hardcore/screamo, post-rock, shoegaze, black/death metal, and alternative rock, Italian experimental metal outfit SVNTH‘s fourth studio album, “Pink Noise Youth,” is ready for its coronation today via These Hands Melt Records.

The band comments on the release of “Pink Noise Youth”:

“If the previous record Spring in Blue was about facing life’s struggles from a childhood perspective, Pink Noise Youth is based on exploring awareness as an adult in late youth, trying to give a voice to a generation emotionally unstable and chaotic as pink noise. It is the second part of the band’s own “trilogy of colors”. Musically, we intended to stay outside of genres and labels where elements of hardcore, metal, shoegaze, post-rock, and unconventional instrumentation such as electric indian sitar, classical, and 12-string guitars are blended in the same pot. People will surely welcome it with curiosity.”

Vocalist and bassist Rodolfo Ciuffo adds:

“Lyrically, most of the inspiration comes from personal life events, relationships, and conversations with people and reflections about existential topics; in several cases, it also comes from movies and books.”

Following SVNTH‘s 2020 “Spring in Blue”, “Pink Noise Youth” demonstrates the band’s continued evolution, deliberately transcending genre boundaries. The album promises to take listeners on a cohesive journey through its carefully crafted track sequence, maintaining the band’s tradition of creating conceptually unified works. The music from SVNTH always has aimed to give the listener emotional vibes. This record, in particular, is conceptually based on exploring late youth emotions, and the music created reflects such instability.

Recommended for fans of Deafheaven, Alcest, and Agalloch, “Pink Noise Youth” is due out on April 18, 2025, on Vinyl, CD, and Digital via These Hands Melt Records and is available for pre-order / pre-save at https://lnk.to/SVNTH​

About:

With a various background of musical influences and artistic inspirations, SVNTH (written all caps and pronounced “Seventh”, formerly “Seventh Genocide”) from Rome, Italy has been shaping a unique equilibrium of sounds through the years moving across a huge variety of directions on the palette of contemporary alternative music to create a distinctive soundtrack for inner emotions, life scenarios, and existentialist questioning. Expanding the energy of black and post-metal over the mellow and contemplative boundaries of shoegaze, art pop, and cinematic post-rock.

From the vivid early black gaze melodies of the debut “Breeze of Memories” (2015) to the long song structures with acoustic overtures and Godspeed You! Black Emperor inspired sections of the monumental “Toward Akina” (2017); SVNTH confirms this more complex approach on the double LP “Spring in Blue” (2020), the childhood chapter of a trilogy of colors based on emotions in different phases of life.

The upcoming “Pink Noise Youth” (2025) gets back to a more traditional song format, introducing a unique use of Indian sitar, and an array of acoustic instruments and singing expressions, which develops SVNTH to a one-of-a-kind sound and personality.

As of today, the band has done several tours and single shows all over Europe and in the USA touching even non-frequently toured countries such as Albania and Turkey and performing at notable festivals like Rockstadt and Frantic Fest, bringing a defining cathartic live energy.

Seven Spires share new video “Love’s Souvenir” from latest album ‘A Fortress Called Home’ out now

SEVEN SPIRES is excited to share their new single, “Love’s Souvenir,” taken from their recent album ‘A Fortress Called Home,’ out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

SEVEN SPIRES vocalist Adrienne Cowan comments on the new single and video:

“’Love’s Souvenir’ was born on one of the darkest days of the production of our fourth studio album ‘A Fortress Called Home.’ It’s a song about believing you must be extraordinary to be loved, and the aching marble museum that carves inside. It was a way to confront the shame of craving connection, and the long-standing fear of loss when there’s no energy left to perform. I always had the feeling ‘Love’s Souvenir’ needed a music video. Nearly ten months after the album’s release, we finally get to show it to the world: brocade-and-silk-clad agony filmed in a desecrated church in subzero temperatures. It’s beautiful and ugly, polished and raw as the album itself. Working with Chris Kells’ team again was cathartic and wonderfully arty as always. And, if it’s possible to say about something so painful, I’m incredibly happy with and proud of the final result 🤍”

SEVEN SPIRES is an American symphonic metal band. Since their inception in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, these best friends have forged their home in the darker corners of the melodic metal world. Known for their penchant for pushing genre limits, they draw influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching ravenously into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music, and cinematic soundscapes.

To support the release of their fourth studio LP, ‘A Fortress Called Home,’ SEVEN SPIRES toured on three continents: first in Europe as direct support to Skálmöld with Atavistia as first support, then in North America directly supporting Kamelot with Ad Infinitum also featured on the bill. To end 2024, SEVEN SPIRES embarked on their first-ever headlining tour of Japan with Lords of the Trident.

In 2025, SEVEN SPIRES is slated to perform at Wacken Open Air and Rock in Rautheim in Germany, Leyendas del Rock in Spain, and Legions of Metal in the United States, before embarking in the fall on a run of UK dates with Sonata Arctica, quickly followed by a European tour with Ad Infinitum and Phantom Elite.

The band’s previous touring history includes North America with Eluveitie and Omnium Gatherum in 2023, Europe with Twilight Force and Silver Bullet in 2023, as well as North America with Dragonforce, Firewind, and Visions of Atlantis in 2022. They have also performed at prestigious metal festivals, such as 70000 Tons of Metal, Metaldays, ProgPower USA, and Mad With Power Fest, where they played a sold-out, nearly two-hour headline show in 2023.

German folk metal sensation Feuerschwanz delights with wild cover of Gangnam Style

Feuerschwanz, one of Germany’s most successful folk metal bands, released quite a surprise from their upcoming album yesterday – The band covers the party hit of the last decade, Gangnam Style, in their joyful style! The epic metal version of PSY’s most famous song is also accompanied by a music video, which is just as wild as you would expect from these warriors.

“The only real cover song on our album – a K-pop hit from 2012! This is like a kind of dance between worlds, now with violins, bagpipes and a hefty dose of metal! No one asked us to do this – but we did it anyway!”, the band says.

The Knightclub album has previously featured Lords Of Fyre feat. Lord of the Lost, which is preparing for the upcoming joint tour, as well as the title single Knightclub, with which Feuerschwanz attracted widespread attention in the German Eurovision qualifiers. The album, which will be released on July 25th, will be released by Napalm Records. It is also the band’s first album with an English title and bilingual lyrics.

Track listing for the Knightclub album:
1. Knightclub (feat. Dag/SDP)
2. Tanz der Teufel
3. Avalon
4. Drunken Dragon
5. Eisenfaust
6. Name der Rose
7. Valhalla (feat. Doro Pesch & Miracle of Sound)
8. The Tale of Sam The Brave
9. Testament
10. Lords of Fyre (feat. Lord Of The Lost)
11. Gangnam Style

Feuerschwanz has been forging its own path for two decades, and the work has paid off in the form of successful arena tours and top spots on the official German album chart. The tongue-in-cheek attitude has been with the band since its inception. Feuerschwanz’s sole founding member, bassist Peter Henrici, has said that he thinks the genre is taken too seriously in folk circles.’

Cheeky rock ‘n’ roll and organic sound – Serpico releases first single from upcoming album

Serpico, who holds the flag of Pori rock high, delights fans of organic rock ’n’ roll by announcing their new album! Recorded at Astia studio and produced by Anssi Kipo, Dressed In Flesh is made entirely in analog, respecting tradition. With the new album, Serpico was signed to the American Golden Robot Records, who will be the album’s publisher. The entire album will be available later this year.

However, before the album’s release, there will be a taste of the album with single releases. The Hard as a Cannonball single, released today, opens the game with an explosive vibe.

“The story of the song Hard as a Cannonball is a modern interpretation of the battle between David and Goliath. Today, we could talk about the fight between Rocky Balboa and Ivan Drago. The song takes the listener into the middle of the battle, emphasizing its inevitability. You stand tall and fight for your life, because it’s the only way to survive. There is no shelter or escape,” the band says.

“A sense of danger, a brazen rock attitude, genuine and honest playing and singing – these are what Serpico’s new single Hard as a Cannonball is made of. The band has stepped on the turbo gear and delivers a delightful breath of the old alliance. And the song is really confusingly good,” Serpico producer Anssi Kippo comments.

Hard as a Cannonball is released accompanied by a gas-guzzling music video. The video features Finnish Drift Series Pro champion Riku Autere, and the video features authentic race scenes. The video was directed and shot by renowned rock photographer Ville Juurikkala.

“The best thing about this band is their authenticity and desire to throw themselves into doing their own thing 100 percent without caring too much about whether everything is polished to perfection. We need performers like this in today’s world, where both the music business and art in general are starting to be far too calculated and perfectionist,” Juurikkala reflects.

Founded in 2005, Serpico has experienced a lot along the way, including an appearance on the Soittakaa Paranoid program, a custom Harley Davidson that was unveiled during the show, and eventful international tours with Rust ’n’ Rage, Bloody Heels, and Princess. Serpico has also warmed the stage for Finnish greats such as Michael Monroe and The 69 Eyes. The band once ended up performing at a sold-out London club, The Garage, on short notice, where Serpico opened the night with a Geoff Tate celebration gig.
