French post-hardcore/alt-metal Maps And Foils New Album ‘Nulle Part’ Out Now

“4 years after Less Is Mort, we are proud to present Nulle part. This new album is the result of two and a half years of writing, change, doubt, and noise. 10 tracks that explore the place of our musical wanderings. 39 minutes that, we hope, will transport you as much as they have moved us”.

Paris-based post-hardcore/alternative metal band Maps And Foils have officially released their new album, Nulle Part — available now on CD and all major digital platforms.

Blending dissonant hardcore with ethereal melodies, Nulle Part offers a gripping and introspective journey through themes of wandering, self-destruction, and personal transformation.

The release also marks a turning point for the group, closing the chapter on its original lineup while ushering in a new era of creative momentum.

Maps And Foils is an alternative/metal/post-hardcore band from Paris, founded in 2016 by Tristan (vocals, guitar) and Thomas (guitar, backing vocals). Over the years, they have explored a wide musical spectrum, releasing two full-length albums—#1 and Less Is Mort—as well as diverse projects, including the grindcore EP Les Anathèmes and the documentary At Spes Non Fracta.

Following Thomas’s departure, the band evolved into a power-trio, with Ewen on bass and Lucas on drums. In 2024, with its renewed line-up, M&F released the EP Dies Irae, a prelude to their next full-length record.

In 2025, Maps And Foils returned with Après l’éclipse, the first single from their third album, Nulle Part. This conceptual record delves into themes of wandering and self-destruction, blending dissonant hardcore with ethereal melodies to amplify its introspective lyrics. Marking the end of an era with the original lineup, the album also signals a new chapter for the band. With Antoine now on bass, Maps And Foils is stronger than ever, ready to bring their latest work to life on stage.

 

Dråpslag to released third EP “Kir & Komplimanger” on June 27

During the 2020 plague, a man sat at a kitchen table filled to the brim with empty beer cans, a guitar in his hand, in a haunted house contaminated with the deadly disease. A small house in northern Götaland of Sweden, on the plain in the forests around the mountain of Lugnås in Mariestad. From the darkness of the abyss in the deepest despair, memories of a bygone era came back, a happier and simpler time… Alone there at the kitchen table, he took the pen, and a text was created, and the guitar was tuned. With a stocky broken voice, the song idea was documented and posted directly on Facebook where the man has his face. The following week, he wrote a few more songs, and his voice became stronger as he started to break free from the clutches of the plague.

The man is called Markus, the same Markus who once formed a small punk band with his best friends under the name Wolfpack (later renamed Wolfbrigade), which, yes let’s describe it a bit humbly, has made quite an impression in the punk scene since then.

The songs that Markus posted there alone at the kitchen table had started to take on a little life of their own through the algorithms and people started to get in touch and wanted to hear more of Markus’ life reflections. One of these was Pelle, who wondered if it could be a little more distortion. There and then, this meeting became the starting point for the new band Dråpslag. Pelle was invited to the sessions and the empty beer cans were cleaned away in favour of refilled beer cans. A rarely seen acoustic songwriting drunkenness takes over, it was sung, played guitar, tuned up in oi choruses and it was written an uncountable number of 7-inch punk bangers … The band needed a drummer, so Markus invited his drummer from his other band Brute Force Trauma, he said YES on the spot. Dråpslag was then a fact with the trio Markus (bass and vocals), Pelle (guitar and vocals) and Emil (drums).

In the following weeks, the band rehearsed in a more controlled way and went into the studio and the debut EP “Framstupa punkläge” was released in 2024 followed by the second EP “Punkbullterrier” the same year.

Now in the summer of 2025, the band releases their third EP “Kir & Komplimanger” (Distat Records) on June 27, 2025, four songs of punk-oi-bangers of the best kind …

HELLFOX’s New Album “The Spectrum of Human Gravity” Out Now

After months of anticipation, Italian all-female melodic death metal band HELLFOX officially release their new album “The Spectrum Of Human Gravity“ via Rockshots Records.

Preceded by the singles “Seaweed Braids” and “Atlas”, the album marks a crucial step in the band’s evolution, both sonically and emotionally. With its unique blend of melodic death metal, distorted synths, and dual female vocals, “The Spectrum Of Human Gravity” takes listeners on an introspective journey through the fragmented and complex world of human emotions.

The two singles already released have set the tone for this powerful record. “Seaweed Braids” introduced the album’s emotional depth with haunting melodies and symbolic lyrics about loss and identity (Watch on YouTube | Listen). The second single, “Atlas,” explored the crushing weight of societal expectations and inner burdens, offering a cathartic release wrapped in a heavy and immersive sound (Watch on YouTube | Listen).

Now, with the full album out, Hellfox present a cohesive work that delves into universal yet difficult topics—loneliness, mental struggles, the desire to be heard—without ever lapsing into cliché or self-pity. Instead, each track presents a new voice, a new fragment of the self allowing listeners to interpret the songs through their own lens.

Recorded at Eden Studio by Alessio Lucatti and mixed/mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio, “The Spectrum Of Human Gravity” balances raw heaviness with refined production, highlighting Hellfox’s growth as a band and their fearless approach to songwriting. The sound, deeply rooted in Nordic melodic death metal, incorporates pop and electronic nuances, especially in the clean vocals and synth textures, creating a dynamic and deeply personal listening experience.

For fans of Amorphis, In Flames and Dark Tranquillity Hellfox offer more than music—they offer connection, honesty and a mirror into the depths of human gravity.

“The Spectrum Of Human Gravity” is now available on all digital platforms.

ABOUT:

HELLFOX is an ALL FEMALE alternative metal (alt-metal) band with melodic death tendencies. Despite the four completely different musical backgrounds, we share a common inspiration to Amorphis, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity as far as composition is concerned, while for the choice of sounds we intended to move away from the Symphonic, recognizably feminine scenario to include acid and distorted synths so that we could create modern atmospheres that more closely met our tastes and better married the pop timbre of the melodic vocals. The dualism of HELLFOX is not meant to be understood on a conflicting level, it is instead the result of different voices within the human soul, different faces if you will, that mingle and generate the person itself, in its entirety, that although they seem to struggle, they coexist and create harmony and balance. We don’t use masks to conform to a mass, nor do we want to stand out at all costs, we just want to be ourselves in a society where normality is only a surface, the abyss instead is made up of so many facets of personality, both for the group and especially for the individual human being. Ours is a message within everyone’s reach, in which one can recognize oneself: that little voice in the head that either draws you in or drives you away… Because for us, nothing is normal, nothing is different.

NASTYVILLE’s New Album “Rebirth” Out Now

After months of building anticipation through the release of the singles “Power To The People” and “Rocking Through The Night“, Italian hard rockers Nastyville are ready to officially turn the page with the launch of their brand-new studio album: “Rebirth”, out now via Rockshots Records.

The album marks a true turning point for the band. Introduced to fans as more than just a title, “Rebirth” represents a conscious relaunch—a bold affirmation of identity, cohesion, and creative maturity. It’s the first full-length work featuring Nastyville‘s current line-up, which has already proven its strength and chemistry both in the studio and on stage.

The journey began earlier this year with the release of “Power To The People” (video | streaming), a high-energy anthem calling for unity and rebellion, followed by “Rocking Through The Night” (video | streaming), a fiery hard rock track that reaffirmed the band’s signature attitude. Both songs showcased a refreshed and unmistakably confident version of Nastyville, backed by compelling music videos that further amplified the band’s aesthetic and vision.

Recorded at Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio (Somma Lombardo, VA), the entire album was produced by the band and mixed and engineered by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints, Edge of Forever, Giant). Sonically, “Rebirth” blends classic sleaze and glam roots with a gritty, modern edge—offering massive riffs, punchy rhythms and powerful, sing-along choruses that reflect the band’s evolution without losing their raw rock’n’roll soul.

Thematically, “Rebirth” dives deep into both personal and collective experience, channeling the highs&lows and ironies of life through a mix of introspective lyrics and no-holds-barred rock energy. Each track unveils a different layer of the band’s identity—ranging from emotional storytelling to tongue-in-cheek hard rock excess.

“This album is more than just new music—it’s the sound of us reclaiming who we are,” the band states. “Rebirth captures everything we’ve been through in recent years and turns it into raw energy, melody, and attitude. We gave it all, and we can’t wait for people to feel it.”

Since their formation in 2012, Nastyville have shared the stage with icons such as Skid Row, Crashdïet, Enuff Z’Nuff, Steel Panther, The Dead Daisies and more. Known for their powerful live presence and straight-to-the-point attitude, the band now brings that same intensity into the studio with “Rebirth“—a record that encapsulates who they are today and where they’re headed next.

For fans of: Skid Row, Crashdïet, Hardcore Superstar, Steel Panther, The Dead Daisies.

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.

Toronto Prog DEREV Explores The Inner Beast With New Lyric Video “Darker Self” Off Debut Album “Troubled Mind”

Wrapping up their Western Canadian Tour this past May, in support of their first full-length, “Troubled Mind”, Toronto prog rock Derev is sharing their latest lyric video “Darker Self”. It is the album’s closing track and speaks of embracing our true selves. Specifically, the instinctual, animalistic side we often suppress in an attempt to please others. Ignoring the value that this side of us brings in dire times renders us weak, fragile, and miserable.

“Our darker self is portrayed as a beast in hibernation, the lyrics start by enticing this animal to ‘Rise up and shake the dust off..”. As the song progresses, we begin to understand the true value of these traits that were deemed disgraceful and learn to embrace them, rather than bury them,” adds the band.

Watch and listen to “Darker Self” – https://youtu.be/lLDZfkebxkM​

Derev‘s new album “Troubled Mind” is the follow-up to their 2021 debut EP “Leap of Faith,” and takes a deep dive into the intricacies of the human psyche, addressing a spectrum of mental health issues with each track, ranging from temporary mental instability to more severe conditions such as schizophrenia, cognitive immobility (a fixation on the past), and depression stemming from loss.

Offering a diverse range of sounds from mellow, calm tracks to adrenaline-pumping heavy headbangers while maintaining their distinctive progressive rock sound, enriched with Middle Eastern influences. Incorporating more prominent keyboard parts, experimenting with various time signatures, and introducing new instruments such as the Cajon, Darbuka, and electronic elements. This evolution showcases the band’s innovative spirit and commitment to pushing musical boundaries.

The band adds:

“This album is very personal and introspective. It’s full of memorable songs and parts to listen to and digest, both from a musical and lyrical perspective. Every song tackles a different state of mind and takes the listener into their thoughts of a mental state that they can relate to. As this one marks our second official release, we think the fans will be excited about hearing what Derev still has to offer. They’re in for a crazy ride full of energetic ups and heartbreaking downs.”

Derev was conceived after founding member and drummer Michel Karakach, after fleeing the war in the Middle East and finding refuge in Toronto, Canada, reunited with his best friend, guitarist Armando Bablanian, to turn what was once a mere childhood dream into a powerful reality.

Derev‘s dynamic lineup now includes bassist Stan Komarovsky, providing the backbone of Derev‘s sound, and keyboardist Ran Zehavi from the progressive rock band Scalar, adding depth and complexity. Leading the live charge is frontman and vocalist Mike Symons, who has replaced previous singer Adel Saflou, whose recorded vocals are featured on “Troubled Mind”.

Recommended for fans of Opeth, Dream Theater, Porcupine Tree, Soen, and Riverside, “Troubled Mind” was released on March 26th, 2025, and is available at https://www.derevmusic.com/store (on Vinyl, CD, Tour Pass) and all digital platforms (Spotify, Bandcamp).

PARADISE LOST PREPARE FOR ASCENSION NEW ALBUM OUT SEP 19TH

Icons of goth and doom, PARADISE LOST will release their long-awaited, 17th album Ascension on September 19th with Nuclear Blast Records. The band’s first album in 5 years, following 2020’s critically acclaimed Obsidian, was produced by guitarist Gregor Mackintosh and mixed/mastered by Lawrence Mackrory. Ascension is a testament to the band’s longevity and relevance over their 35+ year career, encompassing their signature styles of gothic, death and doom fans have cherished along the way.
Ascension’s album cover fittingly features the painting The Court of Death (1870-1902) by renowned British artist George Frederic Watts, which hangs in the Tate Gallery in London. The painting depicts Death as an enthroned angel flanked by allegorical figures of Silence and Mystery guarding sunrise and the star of hope, while a warrior surrenders his sword and a duke his coronet, showing that worldly status offers no protection. The painting’s bleak, prophetic vision embodies Ascension’s dark, tormented soundscapes as mournful verses collide with dire, foreboding riffs.
Commenting on the record, vocalist Nick Holmes says:
“Ascension is a cavalcade of molten misery, a vigorous sorrow filled stroll through a wicked world of glorious triumph and pitiful tragedy.”

Today, PARADISE LOST offer a glimpse into their melancholic masterpiece with the record’s first single and music video, ‘Silence Like The Grave.’

Wrote Decibel Magazine upon its release, “Chaos Horrific manages to be easily digestible while also being honeycombed with nuance and is a nearly perfect record.” Revolver concurred noting, “They’re one of the hardest working bands in the game, their sound has never gotten a drop less brutal, and their coolness factor has never waned.” Added Metal Hammer, “This band is an imperious, tweaked-to-perfection wrecking machine at this point.”

Chaos Horrific slaughtered Billboard charts upon its first week of release, earning the #7 position on the Billboard Album Sales chart, #2 on the Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Rock Albums chart, #5 on the Independent Label Albums chart, and more!

Commenting on the new album, Glenn stated: “Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, “Resonate”. There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists, since 2016”.

“When writing “Chosen”, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!”, he added.

Vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is his calling card. He’s known as a singer’s singer. Stevie Wonder once called Glenn Hughes his favorite white singer.

After a nine years hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes is back with “Chosen”, his brand-new solo record: an album which presents Glenn in his most hard rockin’ fashion. An explosive record that offers Glenn Hughes at its absolute best with a state-of-the-art album, both from a songwriting and production standpoint. A truly captivating return!

Glenn Hughes, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, the Beatles and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis left their mark on him.

Glenn Hughes first found success in the early ’70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdale to the group. Despite initial scepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of “Burn” (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.

During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet The Starship, and released two more studio albums, “Stormbringer” and “Come Taste The Band”, before disbanding in 1976.

Glenn’s first solo album “Play Me Out” was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Travers guitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Glenn Hughes made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists’ albums. The endless list includes – among others – Gary Moore, John Norum, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.

Since 1992, Glenn has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith (RHCP), Dave Navarro, John Frusciante and many others.

He also founded or took part in some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.

Glenn has collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket”, which was released on May 22nd, 2025. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time Glenn has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released “Fused” together.

Glenn Hughes has also recently joined forces with Satch Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar”.

Multi-hued modern metal with a new generation’s sense of style – STORM released a joint song with Fixation

Norwegian STORM has been signed to Indie Records since he was in middle school, proving that the future of Norwegian heavy music is in good hands. The artist, who enjoys widespread international popularity, joins forces with Fixation, with the single Suffocating released today. The artists’ shared story goes back many years.

“I’ve been working with the guys from Fixation since I was 11 years old. Martin Selen produced my debut EP Invincible, and he mixed the entire upcoming album. Fixation was the first band to make Norwegian heavy music feel like it could have a global impact,” says STORM.

Fixation frontman Jonas W. Hansen says he immediately noticed that Suffocating was special:

“Suffocating emerged as a very special song during the editing process. It had to sound like both STORM and Fixation, so we added a breakdown and more edge and grit.”

“Suffocating is a middle finger to all preconceived expectations. It’s about not being put into a mold or silenced. It’s about the rage that comes when people see your independence as a threat. When the song sings ‘I’m a demon,’ it doesn’t mean evil, it’s about how people treat you when you stop being nice. I’m ready to fight so that no one can stifle my voice,” STORM comments.

The song was released with a chilling music video. The video was shot in the middle of winter in Trondheim, Norway. The video, directed by Helmet Productions, features Jonas performing a demonic version of STORM.
“He was standing in the freezing water screaming while I sat in the warm trailer watching him fully immerse himself in the role of the demon,” STORM laughs. “He looked scary, which is funny because he’s one of the nicest guys I know.”

Suffocating is more than just a song. It’s a boundary-pushing collision of two expressions, two generations, and two artists. The result is raw, intense, and unapologetically authentic. It’s a statement that in 2025, Norwegian heavy music still has something new and important to say.
