Stereo Terror, who shone in the final of Estonia Eurovision Song Contest 2025 earlier this spring, is releasing a new single that shows no mercy in any direction. The industrial-flavored dance song Murder On The Dancefloor, which moves forward like a steamroller, will also soon be heard at the DJ duo’s gigs.
“After the Estonian Song Contest, we wanted to release new music for the summer that was a little more raucous. At the same time, Murder On The Dancefloor is a small tribute to our biggest influence, Rob Zombie,” says Saku Solin.
Formed by Saku Solin (Turmion Kätilöt) and Henry Uhlgren, Stereo Terror is a musical party space whose doors are open to all nice people and ideas, and so far Stereo Terror has explored its musical paths with, among others, Noora Louhimo and Seksikäs-Suklaa.
On the production and song side, Stereo Terror has done some great things with, among others, musician-producer Lauri Hämäläinen, who also penned Stereo Terror’s Estonian Eurovision entry, Prty Till The End Of The World. The now-released song was also created in collaboration with Lauri Hämäläinen.
“We put our heads together and master Lauri Hämäläinen was able to conjure up a song for us that is perfect for any celebration,” Saku adds.
“And even for christenings?”, Henry points out.
“Well, especially for that, it’s worth starting to listen to the right music early,” Saku grins.
Sparzanza is approaching the release of their new album From Dust To Darkness. The album, which will be released later this year, will be published by Despotz Records. Sparzanza have released a new single from their upcoming album, Bloodborn, which represents the band’s core expertise – heavy riffs, dark melodies and thought-provoking lyrics.
“Bloodborne delves into themes such as darkness, fate and the struggle for existence. This song captures the core of Sparzanza’s unique sound. The lyrics of the song are full of strong imagery and emotional depth, inviting the listener to explore the darker recesses of the human psyche,” the band says.
The upcoming album From Dust To Darkness is a significant milestone in the long-time band’s career. It is their first full-length album since Announcing The End, released in 2017. The pandemic gave the band a long-awaited break, which the band said was able to stretch out a bit.
“Just as our tour was over, the pandemic hit the world. One might think that a forced vacation would awaken the band’s creativity, but we have been working on this band together for two decades and needed a break. The break may have been a little longer, but creativity is not a given and it took time for all of our members to get it back. We would like to thank our fans for their patience, because we know how long the wait has been. However, we have needed this pace of work in order to be able to offer you the absolute best music we can ever create,” the band sends their greetings to their fans.
Sparzanza is:
Calle Johannesson – Guitar
Anders Åberg – Drums
Johan Carlsson – Bass
Fredrik Weileby – Vocals
Magnus Eronen – Guitar

81db‘s new album, titled “Nostos”, was released on June 6th. It is the fourth full-length album by the alt/progressive metal band from Florence, 12 years after their last work (A Blind Man’s Dream, 2013) and with a new vocalist, Luca Giannoni. Two singles had already been released to launch Nostos in 2024, “The Imposter”and “Hybris”, and a third one last May, “Jump to Hyperspace”.
“Nostos” is a Greek word meaning “homecoming”, and for 81db it truly is a return home… A coming back after a long time, to their origins, but with a sense of unpredictability and restlessness, and with an eye towards the future ahead! Nostos marks 81db’s return, not just to the stage, but to the core of what 81db has always been: bold, emotional, and uncompromisingly original. Romantic melodies from the Mediterranean, then the beast of harder Metal unleashed, echoing into poetry. That contrast, that journey, is exactly what Nostos is about.
Awake Again, the rising star of alternative metal, released a brand new song called “shitwreck”.
The song released by Awake Again depicts a personal shitstorm, inspired by a maritime theme. The new song features the madness familiar from System Of a Down, which adds even more fuel to Awake Again’s explosive vibe. The song was released with a lyric video.
“The first version of the song came about when I decided to try to finish the song in two hours and see what came out of it. Not much of it was saved for the final version, but the energy and atmosphere have been there from the beginning,” says the band’s vocalist Matti Österman, and continues:
“I had once written down the word ‘shitwreck’ because, in all its stupidity, I thought it was a fascinating wordplay that could describe a personal shipwreck.”
“I remember when we were thinking about the lyrics of the song together. We decided to go all out for the maritime theme, all the pieces fell into place and all the different parts of the song naturally tied together,” recalls bassist Ville Loukola.
The song was composed, written and produced entirely within the band, with vocalist Österman acting as producer. The song was mixed and mastered by Rami Nykänen, who has become one of the number one mixers in the Finnish metal scene.
Awake Again is:
Matti Österman – Vocals
Ville Loukola – Bass
Petteri Horn – Drums
Maron Lahdenperä – Guitar
The melodic death metal outfit Re-Armed from Finland’s capital region returns with a brand new single Fragments of Time, now streaming on all major platforms!
Staying true to their signature sound, the band delivers a heavy-hitting track filled with soaring melodies, crushing riffs, and a hint of groove. The result is a diverse and atmospheric piece of melodic death metal.
The band comments on the release: “A versatile song layered with strong melodies and a touch of groove. The lyrics explore the concept of time — how we sometimes get stuck in the past or dream too much about the future, while life actually happens right here and now.”
Finnish thrash metal juggernauts BLOODRIDE present the adrenaline-charged music video for their latest single, “Erase and Replace” — a blazing taste of what’s to come on their upcoming full-length Deafening, set for release on 25 July 2025 via Wormholedeath.
“Erase and Replace” rips through the illusion of modern progress with razor-sharp riffs, venomous vocals, and dystopian fury. It’s a no-holds-barred assault on digital mind control, conformity, and the slow erasure of humanity in the face of soulless automation. Fusing insane speed and aggression with groove-laden mid-tempos and razor-edged melodies, the track is both a sonic onslaught and a warning cry from the digital void.
The video — edited by Tomi Niemelä, with footage provided by Thrashing Madness — captures Bloodride’s raw live energy, transporting the viewer straight to the heart of their onstage chaos.
With Deafening, Bloodride continues their relentless mission to deliver unapologetic, old-school-infused thrash with a cutting-edge edge, and “Erase and Replace” sets the tone with unrelenting power.
The band will be taking that very fury to the stage across Finland and Europe in the coming months. Catch Bloodride live on the following dates:

Guitarist Nick Savio commented on the new single: “This song represents our melodic modern rock side, where electronic elements and bombastic rhythm sessions make the perfect wall of sounds for the vocals duo. This song is our perfect radio hit, with fine vocal melodies and a touch of 80’s sound”.
Talking about the new album, he added: “I’m very excited to present to all of you the new Eternal Idol chapter. This new material is so fresh and melodic, with our trademark modern symphonic touch. The connection between band members and production team made something special which I’m very happy to share with all of you. The record is epic, symphonic, modern, mainstream and bombastic as you’ve never heard before. See you out there, Idols!!!”

The album was recorded between the end of 2019 and early 2020, produced by Eternal Idol, and mixed by Simone Mularoni (DGM, Sunstorm). “Behind A Vision” represents a promise and a statement from Eternal Idol: to be one of the absolute best melodic metal releases of the year!

Acclaimed British hard rock band Inglorious are thrilled to release their highly anticipated new studio album, “V”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. The focus track and its accompanying visualizer, “Say What You Wanna Say”, are also available now.
Vocalist Nathan James commented on the new single: “Say What You Wanna Say” is the kind of track that all the Inglorious fans are going to love. It’s that high energy high tempo vibe with lots of punch, but also with a bit of a twist. Colin wrote this musically and I love the chorus. It’s a big tune and one I’m really looking forward to doing live”.
Bassist Colin Parkinson added: “The track is a statement of attitude with a punk meets Mötley Crüe feel. Nathan was very open to changing up vocal styles and trying new approaches on this, which has worked really well. I look forward to playing this one live!”
Regarding the new album, he added: “I am extremely happy to be returning to Inglorious after a while away. It’s the right time to get some kickass new music out there for the fans and to focus on the future.

We’ve all played and sang our asses off on these songs and I know the new album will not disappoint!”
Lead singer Nathan James stated: “In the summer of 2023, I sent a message to Colin and asked him if he wanted to come for a pint. A few meetings and writing sessions later, we had more than an album’s worth of great material and I can honestly say I’ve enjoyed every second of creating this album with him and the new line up. Colin has always been a great songwriter and over the years we’ve both matured as artists, writers, performers and people. This is going to be a great year for Inglorious and I’m excited to welcome Colin back and to share this new music with everyone”.
