BROCARDE Unveils “Feed My Soul” ft. KORN’s Ray Luzier – A Haunting Dive into Theatrical Horror Metal

Known for her haunting vocals, theatrical visuals, and ghostly whispers, Brocarde returns with her next sonic séance, blurring the line between the living and the dead. A gothic siren of symphonic metal and supernatural storytelling, her most visceral offering yet, “Feed My Soul,” is a thunderous single featuring the legendary Ray Luzier of KORN on drums.

“I love Brocarde’s very unique vocal style and vibe. She has mass aggression to sweetness and everything in between in her voice! The very interesting song arrangements and theatrical segments make the whole package a dynamic, fun adventure to listen to. I see great things ahead for her!” says Ray Luzier.

The track was recorded remotely across three cities: Brocarde in London, Luzier in Nashville, and producer Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars, Whitesnake) in Las Vegas. Though the trio never met during the recording process, fate intervened at Wacken Open Air, where Brocarde bumped into Luzier in the canteen.

“Watching Ray perform with Korn side stage was a powerful reminder of what I’m fighting for. That’s the level I want to reach,” adds Brocarde.

The “Feed My Soul” music video was shot in a haunted hunting lodge deep within Germany’s Black Forest, ominously known as The Demon Hotel. The setting mirrors Brocarde’s signature theatrical horror aesthetic, equal parts Phantom of the Opera and Edgar Allan Poe nightmare. From hushed whispers to guttural screams, she commands every moment with chilling precision, layering her vocals like a spectral choir and saturating each frame with raw emotion. The walls, adorned with taxidermy heads frozen in terror, serve as eerie spectators to the song’s themes of toxic entanglement and psychological warfare. Ray Luzier’s thunderous drumming injects a primal pulse, anchoring Brocarde’s ethereal delivery in a maelstrom of cinematic intensity.

“Feed My Soul is more than a song; it’s a spiritual experience. I wrote it alone in the dark, channeling voices from beyond and emotions I couldn’t explain. It’s about craving connection in a world that feels increasingly disconnected. I want listeners to question everything they see as normal,” adds Brocarde.

The single offers a glimpse into Brocarde’s long-awaited debut album, set for release in 2026, a decade in the making. While details remain under wraps, fans can expect a musical journey that’s as emotionally raw as it is visually spellbinding.

Brocarde’s rise has been anything but ordinary. From marrying (and exorcising) a Victorian ghost named Edwardo, to conducting paranormal investigations at Download Festival and Wacken Open Air, she’s carved a niche as rock’s most fearless medium. Her column “Terrifying Travels” in The Daily Star chronicles her encounters with the dead, while her website Brocarde.com documents her haunted adventures around the globe.

With “Feed My Soul,” Brocarde invites fans to step into her world, a place where music, magic, and madness collide.

BERIEDIR Released Music Video for “As Tight As Phantoms Hold” Off New Album “Liminal Spaces”

Following the release of their album “Liminal Spaces,” Italian progressive metal act Beriedir unveil the official music video for “As Tight As Phantoms Hold”.

First introduced live in 2024, “As Tight As Phantoms Hold” quickly became one of the band’s most energetic and impactful songs to perform on stage. Musically, the track blends tight rhythms, ambient sections, electronic drum passages, and crushing breakdowns, embodying Beriedir’s ability to merge atmosphere with sheer intensity. Lyrically, it portrays the image of an anonymous guard stationed in a desolate outpost and condemned to fleeting encounters with nameless passersby, a metaphor for loneliness, transience, and betrayal.

“An isolated box, a guardhouse at the entrance of a parking lot. Cars come and go, strangers pass by, some of them wave. Nameless, every day, no one meant to stay. That’s what some of us feel like. A keeper of nothing, only meeting ghosts. The only connection afforded was that of a stab in the back.”

The band comments:

“This song stands out as one of the most energizing to bring on stage. We wanted to push variety in composition, mixing ambient layers, electronic touches, and breakdowns to create something that constantly shifts in intensity.”

The official video visually translates this restless duality, amplifying both the haunting isolation and explosive release at the heart of the track.

With “Liminal Spaces”, Beriedir continues their stylistic evolution, moving further from their power metal roots toward a darker and more progressive identity. The record explores trauma, nostalgia, longing, and emotional fragmentation, offering an immersive experience that resonates with anyone navigating moments of solitude and transition.

Now fully embracing a modern progressive and alternative metal aesthetic, Beriedir’s sound invites comparison to Pain of Salvation, Leprous, Katatonia, Gojira, Trivium, and Dark Tranquillity. Mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio, “Liminal Spaces” combines sonic depth with lyrical weight, marking a bold new chapter in the band’s journey.

The man behind Valontuoja, Jal’zoroth comments the single:

“In the heart of the forest, where the wind speaks only in whispers and the stars vanish from the sky, a predator moves unseen.”Välikappale” is a raw invocation of the hunter spirit a vessel of death, a servant of bloodthirsty gods, cloaked in silence and shadow.

The wolves howl. The earth drinks. Fate is written in blood.”

Formed in 2024, Valontuoja channels the primordial essence of black metal, weaving a sonic tapestry that is both ferocious and hauntingly melodic. Valontuoja’s soundscape is a maelstrom of raw, unyielding black metal fused with ethereal and melodic elements.

Fantasy Meets Prog CEPHEIDAE VARIABLE “Carving a Dragon” Opens The Gates To Debut “Primordial Reverie” Out Nov 2025

Cepheidae Variable, the one-man progressive metal project helmed by Kelowna, Canada, guitarist and composer Ryan Koepke, has officially unveiled its debut single, “Carving a Dragon,” accompanied by a playthrough video. The track serves as the first glimpse into Cepheidae Variable’s upcoming debut full-length instrumental album, “Primordial Reverie,” set for release on November 7th, 2025.

Originally conceived as a personal exploration of musical growth, Cepheidae Variable evolved into a deeply emotional and ambitious endeavour following Koepke’s father’s cancer diagnosis and the news of his own impending fatherhood.

“I stopped waiting around and created something I’d be proud of. This album became a reflection of emotional turbulence, hope, and transformation,” shares Koepke.

“Carving a Dragon” was the first track written for the album, and one of the most challenging. Inspired by Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Quest, the song symbolizes pouring one’s soul into creation and marks the beginning of Koepke’s journey as a solo recording artist. With its energetic, uplifting fantasy feel, it stands in contrast to the moodier, sci-fi-themed tracks that follow.

“There were many times during the writing process I considered scrapping this song. The result is something that has stuck with me and has a lot of meaning to not only myself, but also friends and family who supported me,” says Koepke.

The album itself is a genre-defying instrumental narrative, weaving through symphonic fantasy, sci-fi textures, and progressive complexity. Koepke describes the sound as “spacey, weird, melodic, melancholic, happy,” and cites influences ranging from Dream Theater and Haken to Wintersun and Caligula’s Horse. Divided into three distinct acts, “Primordial Reverie” challenges listeners to experience the full arc of its story, with recurring motifs and evolving themes that reward repeat listens.

The album artwork, created by renowned collage artist Alex Eckman-Lawn, evokes feelings of loneliness, wonder, and cosmic mystery, mirroring the tonal shift that occurs midway through the album.

“I especially enjoyed this artwork because of the amount of interpretation it allows from the viewer. It was a heavy influence on the tonal shift this album undergoes.” Koepke notes.

With “Primordial Reverie,” Koepke aims to release a new album every 2–4 years, continuing to push the boundaries of solo composition and progressive storytelling. Though currently instrumental, Cepheidae Variable may evolve into a collaborative or vocal project in the future.

Recommended for listeners of Dream Theater, Haken, Intervals, Wintersun, and Caligula’s Horse, “Carving a Dragon” can be heard and watched via its playthrough premiere on TheProgSpace HERE.

Symphonic/Prog Metal Force The Wave and the Particle Unveil “Electric Sheep”

Innovative female-fronted symphonic/prog metal band The Wave and the Particle have just released the official video for “Electric Sheep,” the title track from their latest album. 

With its mix of cinematic synth layers, symphonic textures, and heavy guitars, “Electric Sheep” captures The Wave and the Particle’s signature fusion of industrial rock, symphonic metal, and progressive rock. The song explores the pull of collective thinking in the digital age and the loss of individuality in the face of ideological conformity. The video tells this story through the journey of a painter in a black-and-white world who, drawn into a powerful movement, loses his sense of self and becomes one with the faceless crowd.

Founded in 2015, The Wave and the Particle fuses symphonic metal, industrial, and progressive rock. Their music blends soaring vocals, layered synths, and intricate guitars. Electric Sheep showcases their signature genre-bending style and cyberpunk-inspired themes of technology, identity, and the future.

Line up:

Abhiram – Drums
Alessandro Castelli – Bass
Chandra Garud – Guitar
Katharina Huang – Vocals
Vasiliy Sharikov – Keys, Synths, Programming

NASTYVILLE Release Supercharged Video “Run Wild, Rev High!” For New Album “Rebirth” Out Now

After igniting the scene with the explosive singles “Power To The People” and “Rocking Through The Night”, Italian hard rockers Nastyville strike again with the release of their brand-new single and official video “Run Wild, Rev High!”. The track is taken from their latest album “Rebirth“, out now via Rockshots Records.

“Run Wild, Rev High!” encapsulates the band’s raw and unfiltered rock’n’roll spirit: adrenaline-fueled riffs, pounding rhythms and a chorus built to be shouted loud and proud. Co-written by guitarist David “Dave Wild” Visin and Christian “Dega” De Gaudenzi, the song delivers the perfect balance between classic sleaze/glam roots and a modern hard rock punch.

The official video further amplifies the track’s energy, capturing Nastyville’s trademark attitude and stage-ready presence. It’s a declaration of freedom, rebellion, and unapologetic rock’n’roll excess, a theme that resonates throughout “Rebirth“, an album described by the band as their truest statement of identity and cohesion to date.

Recorded at Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio (Somma Lombardo, VA), “Rebirth” was produced by the band and mixed and engineered by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints, Edge of Forever, Giant). With its blend of gritty riffs, punchy hooks, and high-octane choruses, the record represents a bold new chapter for Nastyville—one that has already led them to stages alongside Skid Row, Crashdïet, Enuff Z’Nuff, Steel Panther, The Dead Daisies, and more.

“Run Wild, Rev High!” is a call to let go of boundaries and embrace the chaos,” the band comments. “It’s about living with no brakes, no apologies, and turning life’s madness into pure energy.”

ABOUT:​
Nastyville is an Italian hard rock band formed in 2012 by drummer Danny Boy and guitarist David “Dave Wild,” with the aim of refreshing the rock genre. The first studio album, “Viva Hell-A” (released in 2015), features old-fashioned guitar riffs and the flavor of the best street/glam rock with Lex on vocals, Kruska on bass guitar, and Manuel on guitar. After Lex and Kruska left, the band continued its journey with Marco “Mark Lee” on vocals and Fabian Anderchen on bass guitar, releasing in 2017 their second studio album, “Glam Caramel”. This album, marked by heavier sounds, gave the band the opportunity to open the Italian tour dates for Skid Row, Crashdïet, Enuff Z’Nuff, Adam Bomb, John Corabi, Simon Wright, and many others. “Songs of Threesome”, released in 2022, was their third studio album and featured a new lineup with Christian “Dega” on guitar and Paul “Cannibal” (ex-Thee S.T.P.) on bass guitar.
​
In 2023, founding member and drummer Danny Boy and bassist Paul left the band and were soon replaced by Christian “Chris Tabeat” on drums and Carlo “The Horv” on bass guitar. After the release of the two singles “Red Black…Or Green?” and “Livin’ in A Mess”, the band with its new lineup consisting of Marco “Mark Lee” on vocals, David “Dave Wild” on guitar, Christian “Dega” on guitar, Christian “Chris Tabeat” on drums and Carlo “The Horv” on bass guitar, worked tirelessly on new studio material. The year 2024 was a very good year when the band played many dates across Italy and abroad. The opening act for Steel Panther in Milan (Alcatraz) deserves special mention. The band spent the last months of the year working on a brand-new album, entering the studio in December to start recording their fourth studio album under the supervision of producer, singer, and songwriter Alessandro Del Vecchio.

Radelmare, one of the newcomers to the metal scene, has a new single about the sudden end of life – New Sparklings EP out now.

Radelmare, a newcomer to the Finnish metal scene, just released their new EP Sparklings, which also sees the light of day for the EP’s title track. The song Sparklings takes the listener from the sensitivity of a ballad to the depths of brutal metal. Sparklings deals with the sudden end of life and lost love. It tells how in the last seconds of life, all the most important moments flash before our eyes.
“Especially during wartime, it is emphasized how life can be over in an instant. We hope that in the last moments everyone gets to relive the best memories of their life, before moving from time to eternity,” the band describes.

Radelmare, who released their first releases and gigs this year, combines the raunchy riffs of the 80s with the intensity of modern metal. The band, which has had a good start to its career, has released four singles over the past year, which have appeared on Spotify playlists and received airplay on YleX.

Sparklings track listing:
1. Let’s Go (One More Time)
2. You Don’t Know Anything
3. F.T.S
4. Sparklings
5. Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

Radelmare’s gigs have also been going well. The band has had time to support Luna Kills, perform at Möysän Musaklubi in Lahti, and play a festival gig at Varparock together with, among others, Awake Again and I Am Your God.
The future also looks busy – Radelmare is currently preparing material for their debut album and will head to the studio in 2026. Before that, the band will be seen at club gigs during the autumn and early winter. Radelmare will next perform at Varjobaar in Tampere on 14.11.

Henri Kyrö – Bass
