Melodic metalcore newcomer Lust For Lily kicks off a new era with the massive single and video “Deathbeds”

Two years after turning heads in the music scene with their first singles, Lust For Lily is starting this year strong. The band has now signed a deal with Ranka Kustannus – the label that has also propelled acts like Blind Channel and Cyan Kicks onto the international stage – and Lust For Lily now released the first single of their new era, “Deathbeds,” accompanied by a striking music video.

Already known for skillfully blending dark atmospheres with raw energy, the band has grown significantly over the past two years. The quartet is clearly aware of this evolution, and “Deathbeds,” which explores themes of despair, detachment, and finality, sets the direction for what’s to come on a larger scale as well. The track was co-produced by Cyan Kicks songwriter-producer Niila Perkkiö.

“We wanted a new but natural direction, and came to the conclusion that we needed to start with something dystopian and big. As a natural continuation of that vision, the story of ‘Deathbeds’ emerged around acceptance. The single came together quickly, and at the same time we realized what we want to do in the future too,” the band explains.

Building their sound on emotional intensity and modern heavy production, the young group represents a new wave of metalcore unafraid of broad expression. The full spectrum of their style is also reflected in the video, directed by Pekka Keränen.

“During the shoot, we got to dive underwater and experience for the first time what a professional music video production is really like. From the very beginning, the whole project had an amazing vibe, and this is exactly how we want to present ourselves as this new chapter begins,” the band sums up.

Lust For Lily is:
Aku Olli – vocals, rhythm guitar
Oskari Hyökyvaara – lead guitar
Aaro Kankaanpää – bass
Verneri Hyökyvaara – drums

From Ashes To New released their new album Reflections

From Ashes To New, an American band that combines modern rock and metal with rap, released their new album Reflections. The publisher is Better Noise Music. In conjunction with the release, the band also presents a music video for the album’s lead single, “Forever.” On “Forever,” calm, atmospheric verses are combined with explosive choruses and heavy breakdowns. The band made the music video in collaboration with director Orie McGuinness.

The band’s singer Matt Brandyberry says that the song “Forever” was created at the very end of the album’s making process:

“Forever was created at the very end of the album, as if it was waiting for everything else to fall into place first. The song has a kind of finality – like standing in the middle of something that can no longer be fixed, and realizing too late where everything went wrong. It describes that feeling when regret won’t let go.”

According to Brandyberry, the band has approached the album with a bolder attitude than before:

“This time we pushed ourselves further than ever. We made choices that felt uncomfortable, but that’s what made this different for us. The intention was not to play it safe, but to evolve and make something that will haunt us. This is not exactly a concept album, but it has one feeling: like you’re stuck in some kind of in-between state. You see something better in front of you, but something always pulls you back down.”

The band had originally made demos of no less than 16 songs to form the basis of the new album, but unexpectedly decided to scrap all the material and start from scratch. Only two songs from the original demos ended up on the final album.

Reflections track listing:

1. Drag Me
2. Forever
3. Villain
4. Die For You
5. Black Hearts
6. Upside Down
7. (Not) Psycho
8. Parasite
9. New Disease
10. Darkside
11. Falling From Heaven
12. Your Ghost

From Ashes To New is:

Danny Case – vocals
Matt Brandyberry – vocals
Lance Dowdle – guitar
Maty Madiro – drums
Jimmy Bennett – guitar

The single was created by Harri Sarpavaara and Joel Kuortti.

SIEGE PERILOUS’ New Video “Ancient Rite” Is A Power Metal Quest To Conquer Fear and Destiny

Colorado power metal storytellers Siege Perilous have released the brand‑new lyric video for “Ancient Rite,” the second chapter in their sweeping 2026 concept album “Becoming the Dragon.” The track introduces listeners to the prophecy that binds the album’s protagonist, setting the stage for the epic, ten‑part saga that follows.
​
“Ancient Rite begins with a somber, almost foreboding tone. It’s the moment where the world of the prophecy opens up, and the listener steps into the story. It’s airy, it’s ominous, and it lays the foundation for everything that comes after,” says vocalist Shaughnessy McDaniel.
​
The lyric video arrives as the band continues to roll out material from “Becoming the Dragon,” following the acclaimed singles “As the Dragon Falls” (feat. Fabio Lione) and “Echoes of Home” ft. Kristin Starkey (Twilight Force, Temperance) and the album’s thunderous title track.

“Becoming the Dragon” is a fully realized narrative concept album chronicling the rise, fall, and transformation of the “Child of Prophecy.” “Ancient Rite” serves as the album’s first true narrative step after the orchestral overture, introducing the mythic forces that shape the hero’s destiny.
​
The track’s somber, spacious atmosphere, driven by a steady, commanding verse, reflects the uncertainty and weight of prophecy. It’s the calm before the storm that erupts in later tracks like “As the Dragon Falls,” “Chieftain,” and “Eschaton.”

Watch and listen to the lyric video for “Ancient Rite” at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKSsUhIQt-E​
​
Formed in Colorado by longtime friends and LARP companions Shaughnessy McDaniel (vocals), Scott Hancock (guitar), and Mark Girard (drums), Siege Perilous grew from a shared passion for fantasy storytelling and the electrifying inspiration of seeing Unleash the Archers live in 2021. Joined by Eric Fischer (bass) and later Ryan Flanagan, the band has evolved into a fully collaborative creative unit. Every track on “Becoming the Dragon” was shaped collectively, with each member contributing to the story beats, arrangements, and narrative flow. The result is a unified musical saga with each chapter standing strong as an individual song.

“We could not possibly be more excited to share Becoming the Dragon. This album represents our collective experience, skill, hopes, and dreams as musicians. Getting to collaborate with Fabio and Kristin, two artists who inspired us long before this band existed, has been surreal. We can’t wait for people to hear the full story,” adds McDaniel.

Epic, melodic, powerful, cinematic, and story‑driven, Siege Perilous is recommended for fans of Battle Beast, Sabaton, Blind Guardian, Rhapsody, Helloween, and Avantasia.

“Becoming the Dragon” (released March 27th) is available via Crunchtronic Records on all digital platforms, along with physical CD and Vinyl, plus merch at the following links:

Küntsquäd Release Provocative Video “Piss and Purge”

Melbourne’s premier purveyors of crust-infused death metal, Küntsquäd, are back with the release of their shocking new music video, “Piss and Purge.” The track is taken from their critically acclaimed album Satan’s Cock, out now via Wormholedeath.

Piss and Purge is a song … challenging the ideology around the normalisation of humanity’s excesses and its obsessions with disposable consumerism, which manifests both on a personal and broader level. The visuals particularly highlight the humour around the end results of rockstar like consumption of drugs of choice or other ‘fast’ consumables. The visuals also highlight how this greed manifests more broadly, asking the questions around the disposability of human life through classist warfare, and how the acquisition (consumption) of goods or territory is steadfastly sold as a necessary evil, always resulting in the death or genocide (purging) of human life. In short, it’s a satirical foray into the monstrous absurdity of what this may actually look like through the eyes of a passive observer.

Following their 2022 self-titled debut, which sold out multiple pressings and carved a cult following across the underground, KÜNTSQUÄD (pronounced Kountskard) double down on everything grotesque, unholy, and deliberately absurd. There are no genre walls here—only a relentless descent into sonic madness.

With the album “Satans Cock”, the band delivers a grotesque yet calculated assault—layering blast-beaten fury, apocalyptic riffs, and sneering satire into a weaponized soundscape for the damned.

KÜNTSQUÄD (pron. Kountskard) is a crusty death metal band from Melbourne blending guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and blackened chaos. Their 2022 self-titled debut on Wormholedeath Records earned global acclaim and sold-out pressings. Raw, extreme, and satirically twisted—this is metal with no genre boundaries.

Enter The Dark with HEAVENFALL’s New Video “No Candelight” From Upcoming Album “Thorn” Out May 2026

Italian heavy metal act Heavenfall unveil their new single “No Candlelight”, taken from the forthcoming album “Thorn“, set for release on May 15th, 2026, via Rockshots Records.
​
With “No Candlelight”, the band sharpens the direction introduced by the previous singles, moving deeper into darker and more introspective territory where classic heavy metal foundations intersect with progressive structures and a brooding tonal palette. The track unfolds with precision, shifting between tension-driven riffing and carefully structured melodic passages while maintaining a clear and controlled trajectory.
​
At its core, “No Candlelight” conveys a persistent sense of displacement and inner unrest. The lyrics revolve around the search for belonging, addressing not only younger generations but anyone confronting uncertainty in purpose and identity. Rather than offering resolution, the song embraces that instability, turning it into a central emotional driver.
​
This perspective aligns with the broader framework of “Thorn“, conceived as a cohesive exploration of human fragility. The album draws on melancholic textures and introspective themes, resulting in a listening experience that is both emotionally charged and structurally deliberate.
​
Written by Giovanni Sorrentino and Mattia Pavanello with lyrics by Andrea Mereghetti, “No Candlelight” reflects the band’s collaborative songwriting approach, where musical and lyrical elements develop in parallel rather than as separate layers.
​
From a production standpoint, “Thorn” maintains a defined and balanced sonic identity: produced by the band with drums recorded by Maurizio Cardullo at Crono Sound Factory and mixed and mastered by Davide Tavecchia at Twilight Studio, the album achieves clarity without sacrificing weight, supporting its dynamic arrangements with restraint and focus.
​
Formed in 2003, Heavenfall has steadily refined a sound rooted in classic heavy metal while integrating more personal and introspective elements over time. With “Thorn“, the band consolidates that evolution into their most coherent and self-aware release to date, avoiding nostalgia in favor of a more deliberate and contemporary expression of their identity.

ABOUT:
​
Heavenfall was formed in 2003 by four teenage friends united by a shared urgency to express themselves through heavy music. What started as a raw and instinctive project, built with limited means but strong determination, gradually evolved into a defined artistic identity rooted in classic heavy and thrash metal, enriched by darker and more introspective elements. From the outset, the band focused on developing a personal sound rather than adhering strictly to genre conventions.

Following years of rehearsals, songwriting, and live activity, Heavenfall released their debut full-length “Falling From Heaven” in 2012, receiving positive feedback from both audiences and specialized press. The 2017 EP “The Besiders” confirmed the band’s steady growth, highlighting a more mature compositional approach and a stronger inclination toward introspective and emotionally layered songwriting.

A consistent live presence has played a key role in the band’s development. Heavenfall is known for delivering intense and engaging performances, built on direct interaction with the audience. Over the years, they have shared the stage with established acts such as Q5, Domine, Elvenking, and Crying Steel, strengthening their position within the European heavy metal circuit.

In 2026, the band will release their new full-length album “Thorn” via Rockshots Records, marking a further step in their artistic evolution. The record reflects a natural progression toward a heavier, more introspective and structurally refined sound, consistent with the trajectory the band has been shaping since its early years.

Now active for over two decades, Heavenfall stands as a cohesive and experienced act whose path has been defined by continuity, stylistic coherence, and a clear commitment to their own vision of heavy metal.

Earthblood’s new Hatchet in Hand single tells about a man with an axe

Earthblood’s new single “Hatchet in Hand” is continuing in the same footsteps as the previous EP, embracing the more melodic Heavy Metal soundscape, but still tightly holding on to the bands key characteristics like: The fuzz guitar rumbling, the dirty bass growls and the drums beating like thunder. The song tells about a man with an axe.

Listen to ‘Hatchet in Hand’ single: https://push.fm/fl/earthblood-hatchet

Not wasting any time, the second EP bearing the name “Witchburner” was released in April 2024.

Now after two years, the apes of the Earthblood have returned with two thunderous singles “Ape Warrior” and “Hatched in Hand” which is set to be released on April 16th 2026. They continue the mighty and powerful soundscapes of both previous EP’s.

Prog Collective LUFEH Unveils Album Title Track “Overwhelmed” From New Album Out May 2026

Progressive rock collective LUFEH announces the release of their powerful new single “Overwhelmed,” the title track from their forthcoming album, arriving May 29th, 2026. The song follows the recently released first single, “He Commands the Sun and the Stars,” which introduced fans to the band’s evolved sound and the new creative chapter ahead.
​
Recorded at the iconic Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and produced by keyboardist Gera Penna, “Overwhelmed” represents LUFEH’s most melodic, emotionally charged, and musically refined work to date. This album fuses the band’s trademark progressive intricacy with a renewed focus on memorable vocal lines and dynamic, accessible arrangements.

Its title track, “Overwhelmed,” captures this evolution perfectly. Written by guitarist Deio Tambasco, the song opens with a haunting violin passage performed by LUFEH’s new featured vocalist and internationally acclaimed electric violinist Ginny Luke, setting the tone for a piece that leans boldly into vocal‑driven storytelling without sacrificing the band’s technical edge. Known for her work with Foo Fighters, Britney Spears, Snoop Dogg, Miguel, and others, Luke brings a commanding vocal presence and electrifying violin work to the album. Her violin performances also appear on“Feels Like I’m a Ghost” and “Live the New Today.”

“Ginny brought a whole new dimension to our sound. Her voice and violin elevated everything we wrote,” adds drummer and band founder Lufeh Batera.

Lyrically, “Overwhelmed” reflects the sensation of being mentally submerged, caught between pressure, fatigue, and the urgent need to pause and breathe. This emotional depth is echoed visually in the album’s artwork, which portrays a lone figure underwater reaching toward the light above the surface.
​
​“It’s about reaching that point where you can’t keep running. Life gets heavy, but there’s always a light above the surface. This song represents that moment of stopping, breathing, and finding your way back,” says Batera.

The forthcoming album “Overwhelmed” also marks the return of guitarist Deio Tambasco, reuniting him with Lufeh Batera and bassist Duca Tambasco, continuing a musical partnership that began in 1993. Despite living on different continents, Batera in Los Angeles and the rest of the band in São Paulo, the group wrote nearly 70% of the album remotely, exchanging ideas daily and refining each track collaboratively.
​
While LUFEH’s 2020 debut “Luggage Falling Down” leaned heavily into technicality, “Overwhelmed” strikes a new balance of complex musicianship, catchy, sing‑along choruses, fusion, jazz, and Brazilian influences, and emotional storytelling. The result is a progressive rock album that is both intricate and accessible, offering fans a deeper connection to the band’s evolving sound.

Recommended for fans of Rush, Dream Theater, Haken, Sleep Token, and Tool, LUFEH‘s new album “Overwhelmed” marks a bold new era, one defined by melody, maturity, and a renewed creative spark.

Canada’s NOX Unleashes Debut Single “Night Terror,” a Cinematic Descent into Goth‑Metal Darkness

Recognized for his guitar work and production roles in Ottawa bands A Scar For The Wicked, DAEDFALL, and previously Sovereign Council, solo goth‑metal artist NOX emerges as the newest creative vessel for cinematographer and visual storyteller Joe Moon. To introduce the launch of this fully self‑realized project, one that fuses heavy music, horror‑driven aesthetics, and immersive worldbuilding into a singular, shadow‑forged identity, Moon unveils NOX‘s debut single and music video for “Night Terror.”​
​
​NOX embodies Moon’s long‑standing drive to create something darker, more personal, and more cinematic than anything in his past body of work. After years spent shaping visuals, music, and production across multiple mediums, the project stands as the culmination of that experience, a space where sound, imagery, and storytelling merge without restraint. Moon writes every element himself, from synths and drums to guitars, crafting each track around mood, tension, and emotional gravity. Sonically, NOX pulls from modern metal, melodic death metal, industrial metal, symphonic black metal, and gothic/alternative metal, while weaving in the scale and emotional depth of cinematic scoring.
​
​“NOX is a dark, creative force rooted in heavy music, cinematic tension, and immersive atmosphere. Influenced by metal, horror, sci‑fi, and shadow‑driven visual storytelling, the project exists to create music that feels larger than sound alone, a world built on power, fear, transformation, and emotional weight. The goal is to give people something immersive, something oppressive, emotional, haunting, and atmospheric. Every song should feel like a chapter in a larger story,” says Moon.
​
​“Night Terror” serves as the first entry point into that world. The track is dark, intense, and deeply atmospheric, built around the sensation of being hunted by something both psychological and real. Moon describes it as a reflection of fear, paralysis, and the loss of control, emotions that shape the song’s heavy, immersive sound.
​
​“‘Night Terror’ leans into fear and tension, turning those emotions into something cinematic and overwhelming. It’s meant to feel like stepping into a nightmare you can’t wake up from,” adds Moon.
​
As a cinematographer and visual creator, Moon approaches NOX with a filmmaker’s eye. The music video for “Night Terror” introduces the project’s aesthetic, a blend of horror, sci‑fi, surrealism, and metal imagery designed to feel like a window into a larger universe. The result is a sound that is dark, cinematic, immersive, and vicious.

Recommended for fans of Sleep Token, Lord of the Lost, Lacuna Coil, Dimmu Borgir, and modern Swedish melodic death metal, NOX delivers the same sense of weight and atmosphere, but pushes further into something more visual, more narrative‑driven, and unmistakably its own.

About:

NOX is the dark creative project of Joe Moon, a cinematographer, visual creator, and storyteller driven by heavy atmosphere, bold imagery, and genre-blending worldbuilding. Working across film, music, design, and concept development, Joe builds immersive visuals and identities that live somewhere between horror, sci-fi, metal, and the surreal. NOX is an extension of that vision: a space for darker ideas, original characters, striking aesthetics, and unapologetically cinematic expression. Through NOX, Joe brings together his work in visual storytelling, production, and creative direction to create something visceral, mysterious, and unmistakably his own.

Volucrine’s second single, ‘Talk’, is out now and is taken from the forthcoming fifth album

Finnish modern metal band Volucrine are set to release their fifth album via Inverse Records on September 25th 2026. The second single ‘Talk’ is out now and it’s available on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/volucrine-talk 

The band’s mastermind Jupe Velin comments:
“The words burn in my throat. It feels like a year has passed since the last time, even though barely a week has gone by. It took only a few encounters, and without a second thought, I handed over the keys to my mind. Then you stole my dreams, robbed me of my appetite, and cast a shadow over my view of the future. It’s tragicomic that the purpose of our meetings is to heal, not to shatter me further, yet I’m starting to feel 

like sawdust. Do you recognize any of this? I bite my lip so I don’t think out loud. 

You’re a potent medicine; you replace one form of anxiety with another. The remedy is addictive, and attraction turns into possessiveness. Feeding the addiction comes at the cost of healing. If only I were strong enough not to care, or cared enough not to turn regret into new trauma, adding to my list of psychological symptoms. I know our time is limited, but I want to finally tear down the fence. How will you respond when 

I cross that finish line and ask: “Shall we talk?”

Culmination! That’s the first word that comes to mind when listening to the Talk single with fresh ears. It perfectly combines Volucrine’s technical prowess, melodic flair, and storytelling, not to mention rock ’n’ roll! Does it annoy metal purists? Absolutely, but at the same time, it offers the most open-minded and life-hungry music fans a dose of alternative metal whose buzz lasts for weeks! You hear the song once, and the 

chorus melody immediately lodges itself between your ears like a peregrine falcon that’s a bit more territorial than usual!

The theme? Well, the song is about love in a way, though a self-destructive and one-sided kind. Even though the story doesn’t reveal what happened to the characters in the lyrics, I would still encourage everyone to always acknowledge when a bottled-up emotional life begins to poison their inner self. Life is far too short to spend our old age looking back and cursing the stones we didn’t turn over along the way. With pure words, the mouth sings of freedom!”

VOLUCRINE are a Finnish alternative metal collective, who released their debut album in 2011. Four albums, two EP’s and countless live shows later, the band’s personal style has been honed to its peak, still emphasizing bold testing of boundaries within their genre. The band has a strong focuson their lyrics, which, due to their deeply personal nature, give Volucrine’s music a human voice.

After the ETNA LP (Inverse Records 2024), which garnered a lot of positive attention worldwide, the band is finally ready to present new material from their upcoming album, which will be released in the fall. With the theme of rebirth, we can expect the unexpected from this album as a great circle is closed.
