Finnish extreme metal band Underwater Father releases the first single from their upcoming debut album

“Kärsimysten Tie” is the first single from the upcoming album Taivas Kaareutuu Narkissoksen Yllä by the Finnish extreme metal band Underwater Father, set for release early next year.

The track represents the heavier side of the album—drawing on Satanic themes—and explores internal struggle, confronting one’s own shadow, the purification from sins, and the price of such purification.

It also serves as a hymn to the fire that burns away the old, compelling a person to look at themselves stripped of the masks of illusion. The song invites the listener to face their own shadows and burn away their sins within this lifetime, so that the journey through the flames of the afterlife might be “more pleasant.”

Underwater Father is a metal band from Kotka, Finland founded in 2024. The band serves up a blend of the darkest growls and beautifully bitter melancholy.

Rather than relying on dominant posturing, the band leans into something more deeply entwined with suffering. On stage, we scream at our fears, rather than trying to project an image of something we are not.

The songs explore suffering, madness, despair, and other shadows of the human condition—both in concrete terms and as an internal experience. Some tracks are colored by fantasy; even when they don’t originate in reality, they strive toward it.

The lineup consists of the following renegades:

Samu Haatainen – Guitar, vocals

Jan Lindberg – Guitar

Antti Lampinen – Bass

Joonas Nieminen – Drums

“How far can we go before everything starts falling apart?” – Dead End Finland’s Mercy of Fools single out now

Finnish melodic metal band Dead End Finland are set to release their sixth studio album ‘Carbon’ on March 12th 2027 via Inverse Records. The new single ‘Mercy of Fools’ is out now and it’s available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/def-mercy-of-fools

 

The band comments:
“How far can we go before everything starts falling apart?

“Mercy of Fools” is a song about a world where madness takes control, leaving ordinary people to clean up the destruction left behind by others. It speaks of powerlessness, anger and despair – but also of a longing for peace that seems increasingly difficult to reach.
As the world becomes divided by ever-deeper conflicts and hostility, one question remains: will we ever find a way out of this cycle?
Sometimes, there is nothing we can do to stop everything happening around us. We can only close our eyes, take a breath, and hope that somewhere in the midst of all this, there is still a path towards tranquility.“
BIOGRAPHY:
Dead End Finland is a melodic metal band from Helsinki founded in 2007. The lineup, which has remained unchanged since the beginning, has enabled the band’s sound to develop into its current rich form. Dead End Finland is difficult to place into any specific genre, and in the songs you can hear tones from classical music to death metal. During the years, the band’s style has become even more bombastic and melodic. The compositions have gained more depth and insight. The upcoming sixth album takes the band in a more modern direction, although Dead End Finland’s recognizable sound and basic elements are still easily heard.

Line-up:
Mikko Virtanen – Vocals
Santtu Rosén – Guitars & Bass
Miska Rajasuo – Drums
Jarno Hänninen – Keys

I Think We’re Alone On The Edge Of 17. Tiffany, Chris Holmes And Vinny Appice Give Stevie Nicks A Magnificent Metal Make-Over

It’s kinda cheating, isn’t it – a Fleetwood Mac tribute album that includes a song that wasn’t by Fleetwood Mac in the first place?

But it was written and recorded by a member of Fleetwood Mac, and hey!  If you can’t include the solo Stevie Nicks on a heavy metal Mac reworking, then you’re obviously playing by the wrong set of rules.

Besides, when “Edge of 17” first appeared on the radio back in 1981, a lot of people thought it was Fleetwood Mac, a hard rocking follow-up to the multifarious majesty of their last album, Tusk, with Nicks at her magical, mystical best and a guitar line (by Waddy Wachtel) that captivated even the most disinterested listener.  Quite frankly, it was brilliant… and that’s why it belongs.

SINGLE: https://orcd.co/tiffany_edgeofseventeen

Steel Rumours – The Songs Of Fleetwood Mac Reforged In Metal has already leaked a few captivating singles, so we already know that it’s loaded with some (you could say “most”) of the band’s greatest moments, replayed by a host of metal legends… DORO, Candice Night, Lorraine Lewis, Cherie Currie, Chris Holmes, George Lynch, Vinnie Moore, Ronnie Romero, Joel Hoekstra, Tim “Ripper” Owens, Charlie Parra del Riego and more!

“Edge of 17,” though, demanded something extra special, and it got it. On vocals, Tiffany – yes, best known for her cover of “I Think We’re Alone Now,” a 1987 worldwide chart-topper, but still possessed of a captivating voice that instills a whole new depth to the lyric,

On guitar, Chris Holmes, who could never have dreamed, in the days of W.A.S.P., that he would one day be covering a Stevie Nicks song, but who nails it harder than a ton of tumbling bricks.  And, on drums Vinny Appice… ditto a million times. It’s a long way from Black Sabbath to a Tiffany single, but Vinnie makes it sound like a quick hop down the road.

“Edge of 17” itself… well, legend reckons the title came from a conversation Nicks was having with Tom Petty’s wife, about how she and her husband met at the age of 17,  Nicks misconstrued Jane Petty’s southern accent, and the rest is history.  Maybe the original single did climb no higher than #11 on the Billboard chart (the same position, strangely, as her first songwriting hit, “Rhiannon”). But it not only became a lifelong favorite among Nicks’s fan base, it also spawned a movie, back in 2016.  And there’s not many songs that can say that!

As for the rest of Steel Rumours, it’s a no-holds-barred assault that takes us from such primal Peter Green-era classics as “Black Magic Woman” and “The Green Manalishi (With The Two Pronged Crown),” to “Little Lies” and “Everywhere,” via ““Gypsy,” “Dreams,” the aforementioned “Rhiannon” and more.  The result is a breathless journey through the career of one of rock’s most remarkable institutions.

Steel Rumours – The Songs Of Fleetwood Mac Reforged In Metal will be released on November 27 on CD and black/clear/white splatter vinyl.

Unén’s New Single “Love Story” Is a Vampire Romance – Modern melodic metal sextet has also released an intense music video for the track

Unén, champions of modern melodic metal, released their powerful single “Dancing In Flames” earlier this year and have now unveiled the next taste of their upcoming album. With their new single “Love Story”, the band explores new territory, although the apparent calm is merely an illusion.

“Our previous single, ‘Dancing In Flames’, was a kind of release of energy for us – a heavy rock track that really went full throttle. With ‘Love Story’, we wanted to do something completely different. We deliberately decided to slow things down and give more room to melody and the story itself. We wanted to create a really tight, concise track with all the excess stripped away – every second and every word has a purpose,” the band explains.

Despite its slower pace, the new single may be even more emotionally gripping and intense than its predecessor. The same theme is brought to life in the accompanying music video, starring Unén’s frontwoman, Stina Girs.

“I’ve always been fascinated by the idea that somewhere out there, the right person is waiting for me – someone I’ve already loved in a previous life. The wait may last for years or even until the next lifetime, but when we finally meet, there’s no doubt that we recognise each other. ‘Love Story’ is a vampire romance.cA love that lasts from one life and era to the next, forever.”

Stina Girs, who first came to public attention through Finland’s Idols competition, joined Unén as their vocalist in 2023. Since then, the band has released their album Forever Winter through Frontiers Music Srl in 2025. Now, Unén are already looking ahead to their next studio album and live shows planned for 2027, with dates to be announced later.

Unén are:
Stina Girs – vocals
Kimmo Pitkänen – guitar
Petteri Sinervä – keyboards
Harri Moilanen – guitar
Tomi Kallava – bass
Timo Larjo – drums

Finnish grind-crust trio Unborn Generation has released the first single, “Kuolleena eläjät” from the upcoming EP

Finnish grind/crust trio Unborn Generation has released the first single, “Kuolleena eläjät” from the upcoming EP ”Suo kuolema”, set for release in January 2027.

Thematically, the EP continues in the same vein as the band’s latest album, ”…and All We Forget” (2024). The release explores various scenarios regarding what the world might look like after the current era of overconsumption and examines the growing malaise among people in today’s age of disinformation.

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Qobuz, Deezer, Tidal, YouTube Music etc.): https://push.fm/fl/unborngeneration-kuolleenaelajat

Watch the music video: https://youtu.be/R6OQD36byDc

Musically, the release is rooted in crust punk, spiced with bleak and stripped-back melodic elements. It also marks a departure for the band, as the entire release is sung in Finnish.

The first single, “Kuolleena eläjät,” tells the story of how people are deliberately steered toward a desired outcome using false and misleading information—even when it is known that the result will be detrimental to the individual.

Unborn Generation is a grind/crust trio from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2002.

Band members:

Herkko Huttunen – Vocals / Guitar

Eetu Huttunen – Drums

Arto Kettunen – Bass / Backing vocals

Finnish progressive rock band Kuumet releases the final single and music video “Never Enough” from their upcoming album

Finnish progressive rock band Kuumet has released the final single and music video “Never Enough” from their upcoming album “Nova” to be released on November 27th 2026.

The singer Anna-Kaisa Kettunen tells about the track:“When Jussi Moilanen brought this song to the band, the melody and lyrics immediately started playing in my head. Once the lyrics were finished, we refined the melody with Matti Mielikäinen, and the song took its final shape together with the band. I’m a big Skunk Anansie fan, and I think that comes through here. The lyrics are for all of us who have suffered because a loved one has struggled with substance abuse or mental health issues.”

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Bandcamp etc.): https://push.fm/fl/kuumet-neverenough

Both the song itself and its accompanying music video draw inspiration from 1990s aesthetics.

The guitarist Jussi Moilanen tells: “The influences behind the track were diverse. A 7/8 time signature was chosen for its drive and groove. In the intro riff—the leitmotif—of ‘Never Enough,’ one can hear guitar work reminiscent of Alice in Chains, while the middle section has a Radiohead-esque quality.

For the direction of the video—much like for the lyrics—I drew inspiration from Skunk Anansie. The off-kilter aesthetic of the band’s videos, particularly those for ‘Weak’ and ‘Charlie Big Potato,’ really resonated with me back in the day. Certain scenes also brought to mind Madonna’s ‘Human Nature’ and Marilyn Manson’s ‘The Beautiful People.’

The video was filmed on an island near Oulu, inside the office building of the Varjakansaari sawmill—a structure abandoned 50 years ago. Light artist Timo Remes was involved in the production; his piece ‘LightBar’ (2023)—known from various light art festivals—makes an appearance in the footage. The video was shot by aurora borealis photographer Hannu Tiainen, and edited and cut by his daughter, Milla.”

Kuumet started in 2019 in the aftermath of a tribute gig for a Finnish prog legend. The band, which was put together at the initiative of Vesa Ranta (ex-Sentenced, The Abbey, Cemetery Skyline), who had once hung up his drum sticks at the time, ended up with players from Oulu, including The Aeon, THJKB and Hietaketu. Musically, Kuumet operates on the more prog side of rock, the songs may be rambling, but avoiding the pitfalls of indulgent gimmickry. The influences are most found in the legacy of the sprawling rock bands of the 1970s and the more melodic side of heavy rock that rose to prominence in the 1990s.

The songs also reveal the band’s fascination with cinematic expression.

Kuumet’s debut album Nova depicts the struggle of modern man in time: it contains dystopian images, addictions and death, but also glimpses of hope here and there, whether in the form of a bright exploding supernova or the belief that life continues after man.

The Finnish modern metal band Ode Of Disgrace released a new single and music video ‘Chronus’

Järvenpää-based modern metal band Ode Of Disgrace, formed in 2011, has continued to forge new material alongside their live performances throughout 2026. The band’s latest release, Chronus, takes the listener in a heavier direction than their previous material. The massive sound of Chronus is further reinforced by tuning the instruments even lower than usual. 

The single is released in cooperation with Inverse Records and is available here:

https://push.fm/fl/ode-of-disgrace-chronus

Lyrically, the main themes of Chronus are time, as well as its dimensionality and inevitability. Echoes of the themes explored in the lyrics can be heard in the sorrowful, distant melodies, as well as in the verse and breakdown riffs that at times grow into furiously pulsating beat. Despite its epic nature, the powerful chorus speaks of despair and a sense of finality, foreshadowing an existential crisis.

Chronus takes its name from the personification of time in Greek mythology. The song is among the first compositions written for the band by guitarist Valtteri Rautanen, who joined Ode Of Disgrace in 2025.

Ode Of Disgrace’s previous release, EP called Under Grey Skies, was released in 2025. Prior to that came the 2022 ORBIS EP, alongside which the band has also released several standalone singles. Over the years, the band has remained faithful to its metalcore-influenced sound while developing its music in a more modern and distinctive direction, without ever letting go of its hard-hitting riffing.

Line-up:

Roope Meriläinen – Vocals

Pessi Laine – Guitar & Vocals

Valtteri Rautanen – Guitar

Ville Lehtonen – Bass

Lauri Halme – Drums

Celebrate A Blood Red Black Halloween With WARFIELD

Spooky Season is here once more and what better way of getting ready than throwing yourself into the new single by WARFIELD – the so aptly-titled “Black Halloween”?

 “For years,” says frontman Justin Warfield, “I’ve dreamed of writing a Halloween song which could not only be the kind of song I wished existed for my own playlists and listening, but so that I could contribute something to the pantheon if you will. Like, why can’t I write an evergreen holiday song for the goths, punks, death rockers, and freaks who live it before and after October?”

And then it happened, unplanned and unexpected.  “One day I walked in the studio, picked up a guitar, and immediately started playing. As luck would have it, and as sometimes is the case, what came off my fingers straight away felt right.”

Rather than record it in a traditional way, however, “I took to Instagram and went live, writing the song in front of a live audience. At the end, I gave away the title, and tucked it away as I got ready for a tour.

“A few days before the tour, I wrote the chorus, but I still wasn’t happy with the verses. Then, a few hours before I had to leave for the airport for a European tour, I sat down, rewrote the verses, sang them, did a rough mix of the song, sent it off to the label, and to my mixer so he could put the finishing touches on it while I was flying overseas.”

The result first appeared as a truly captivating video this time last year.

VIDEO: https://youtu.be/oTSp2XyM2tk

Today, however, this joyous, rambunctious and deliriously illustrative celebration of lifestyle, culture and lust makes its vinyl debut, but NOT, surprisingly, on scary black vinyl.

No, this one is bright red, blood red, and to make things even more entrancing (not to mention exclusive), there’ll only be 85 copies pressed – a super limited white label edition that is a must-have not just for WARFIELD’s dedicated band of followers, but for everyone who celebrates Halloween by digging out their seasonal singles and spinning them through the night.

And you can flip it over, too, because the b-side features a hypnotic remix by acclaimed darkwave duo The KVB!

“I tasked myself with a heavy lift,” concludes Justin, “to not only write something I loved, but which could stand the test of time, and though it came about in a truly unorthodox manner, and was finished just in the nick of time, I have to say I’m really pleased with how it turned out, and cannot wait for people to hear it and hopefully make it a part of their tradition and lives”.

“Sleep with all the lights on,” sings Justin… and indeed, you should.  But only so you can see what you’re doing, while you do it, and who you’re doing it with.  Happy Halloween!

International symphonic metal group The Erinyes return with sophomore album “Hide And Seek” out December 18

The Erinyes – the international symphonic metal project featuring vocalists Justine Daaé (known for her project Elyose), Mizuho Lin (Semblant) and Nicoletta Rosellini (Alterium) – are pleased to announce the release of their sophomore studio album, “Hide And Seek”, scheduled for December 18, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.

To celebrate the announcement, they unveil the new single and official visualizer, “Agony & Ecstasy”, available below.

Nicoletta Rosellini commented: “Agony & Ecstasy” perfectly represents this new chapter of The Erinyes. It hits you right from the start, with powerful melodies and an incredibly catchy chorus that is meant to stay in your head. We couldn’t have chosen a better song to give you the first taste of what’s coming with the new album.”

Watch the official visualizer for “Agony & Ecstasy” HERE

Pre-Order “Hide And Seek” HERE

The exciting new musical force, fronted by three incredible vocalists, The Erinyes, strikes back.

The band name is derived from Greek mythology, where The Erinyes, also known as the Furies, are a trio of chthonic deities of vengeance.

Vocalists Justine Daaé, Mizuho Lin, and Nicoletta Rosellini once again share lead vocal duties bringing their talent into The Erinyes.

The Erinyes’ singers come from exciting, up-and-coming bands on the metal scene. Justine Daaé is known for her symphonic/industrial French project Elyose, Mizuho Lin from the Brazilian symphonic/dark metal band Semblant, and Nicoletta Rosellini is an Italian singer who fronts Alterium.

Nicoletta Rosellini stated: “I’m excited for this new chapter of The Erinyes. With the experience we gained from the first album, we’ve learned to know each other better as vocalists and to understand how to make the most of our individual voices. The album feels more cohesive and balanced, while still keeping all the elements that people loved about the first record.”

“This album gave us the chance to fully embrace the contrast between our vocal timbres, ranges and artistic identities. I loved exploring how those differences could complement each other and create a unique richness and synergy throughout the record”, added Justine Daaé.

Mizuho Lin also commented: “I feel this second album shows a natural evolution of The Erinyes. I felt like we had more freedom to explore our voices. This album still carries the essence of the first one, but on a more mature way. I’m really excited to finally release it!”

Their self-titled debut album was a concept album centered on three amazons who are having a dispute centered around their love interests, this new chapter, concerning the lyrics explore more Fantasy territories, taking inspirations from famous novels like “Narnia”.

Musically, this new album is more aggressive and symphonic than the first chapter and has been once again produced by Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere, Archin Angel, Sweet Oblivion, etc), written together by Aldo and Marco Pastorino ( Temperance, Serenity); the majestic orchestrations as usual are provided by Antonio Agate and they are even more bombastic than the first album.

The first album caught the attention of media and fans around the world and the second album, “Hide And Seek”, is set to be one of the hottest symphonic releases of the year, confirming the act as a new bright star of the symphonic scene; expecting big choruses, intricate vocal melodies and a good dose of metal!

1.    Agony & Ecstasy
2.    Hide And Seek
3.    Close Your Eyes
4.    Lies
