HEADLESS Unveils New Single “Weightless” Ahead of Upcoming Album ‘Transitional Objects’

European progressive hard rock outfit HEADLESS has returned with their latest single, “Weightless,” available now on all streaming and download platforms. Fans can also watch the animated music video directed by Dime Stamenov (Sabaton, Uriah Heep, Saxon) HERE.

A Preview of ‘Transitional Objects’

“Weightless” serves as the first glimpse into HEADLESS’ forthcoming album, ‘Transitional Objects,’ set for release in late summer 2025. Mastered by Ted Jensen (Dream Theater, Metallica), the track encapsulates the band’s signature fusion of intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and soaring melodic vocals.

Guitarist Walter Cianciusi describes the single as “a hyper-prog song” filled with complex rhythmic textures and a deeply personal lyrical theme:

“This single delivers a brand-new level of complexity. It’s a hyper-progressive song where the rhythm section creates an intricate tapestry at the limits of human performance. At the same time, the vocal melody remains smooth and uplifting, narrating the growing bond between a father and son.”

He further explains that the new album is:

“A no-frills heavy release featuring eight solid prog songs that mark the absolute peak of HEADLESS’ career. We achieved a level of chemistry and craftsmanship that will likely remain unparalleled in future releases.”

A Legacy of Excellence in Hard Rock and Progressive Metal

One of the defining elements of HEADLESS’ sound is the unmistakable voice of Göran Edman, the Swedish singer renowned for his work with Yngwie Malmsteen, John Norum, Vinnie Vincent, Madison, Swedish Erotica, Glory, Karmakanic, and many more.

Formed in 1996 by cousins Walter (guitars) and Enrico Cianciusi (drums), the band initially released ‘Future to Past’ (1996) and ‘Inside You’ (1998) before disbanding in 2000. Walter later revived the project in 2011 with a fresh lineup, incorporating elements of progressive metal, melodic rock, and AOR-style choruses.

The band’s comeback album ‘Growing Apart’ (2013) featured Queensrÿche’s Scott Rockenfield on drums, followed by ‘Melt the Ice Away’ (2016) (featuring Jim Matheos of Fates Warning). Their 2021 release, ‘Square One’, marked their debut with M-Theory Audio and introduced bassist Martin Helmantel (Elegy), further strengthening their sound.

Praised by Critics and Fans Alike

  • “The right combination of technique and melody.” – Metal Hammer
  • “Fans will find catchy choruses, excellent melodies, and well-crafted songs—a fine piece of hard rock.” – Metal Temple
  • “Flawless melodic hard rock.” – PowerMetal.de

A Respected Live Act Across Europe

HEADLESS has shared the stage with Geoff Tate, Fates Warning, Queensrÿche, Tygers of Pan Tang, Angra, Skid Row, Bonfire, D.A.D., Candlemass, The Dead Daisies, and more.

Guitarist Walter Cianciusi is currently on tour with David Ellefson and has previously toured with Geoff Tate, even appearing on his ‘Sweet Oblivion’ album.

Izzy Reign: Defying Doubt, Embracing Chaos, and Building a Movement Through Music

1 Comment

Izzy Reign’s journey into music wasn’t born out of convention or industry expectations—it was a calling, a necessary act of self-expression that almost never happened. The first spark ignited when she saw Enter Shikari’s music video for “Sorry You’re Not a Winner,” a moment that set her on the path to forming a band and stepping onto a stage. But becoming the artist she is today? That came much later, through a different kind of battle—one fought in therapy rooms between 2023 and 2024. It was there she learned to strip away the fear, to embrace the discomfort of true creative freedom. No more molding herself to fit industry standards. No more second-guessing what she was “supposed” to do. She was finally able to create exactly what she needed to, no matter how different or unconventional it seemed.

Her influences are just as unexpected. While many would assume her sound is shaped solely by metal, her creative DNA includes Imogen Heap’s atmospheric innovation, the pulsing energy of Eiffel 65 and late ‘90s techno, and the bold genre-defying presence of Missy Elliott. They all left their mark, weaving together into the raw, emotionally charged music she now brings to life in metal.

Doubt has never been a stranger. It lingers in the background every day, whispering reasons to stop, to hesitate. But Izzy has learned to ignore it. “Do it anyway,” she tells herself. Life is temporary, and there’s no sense in holding back. The music industry didn’t erase her insecurities, but it did teach her to keep pushing forward, to grow both in her craft and within the ever-expanding community that now defines her.

Her latest work isn’t just about sound—it’s a message. A reminder that no one is alone. That mental health matters. That empathy is everything. Life’s struggles don’t have to mean the end, and it’s okay to not be okay. But finding a way to navigate those struggles, to seek help, is just as vital.

Staying true to her artistic vision means ignoring the idea of balance entirely. There is no calculated strategy to meet expectations or industry trends. Izzy writes from experience, crafting songs that reflect her own life in ways others can relate to. Connection is the only goal, the only expectation.

Collaboration is on the horizon, but so far, her journey has been a largely solo endeavor. That’s changing soon, and she’s ready to dive into creative partnerships that push boundaries even further. Signing with FiXT has already proven to be a turning point—not just for the opportunities it brings but for the community it offers. That, above all else, has been the most exciting part of the partnership.

When she’s not creating, Izzy finds solace in streaming on Twitch three times a week, connecting with fans in real time. She’s also a self-proclaimed nature addict, happiest when surrounded by trees, camping under the stars, or adding yet another plant to her already overgrown collection.

Despite her fearless stage presence, every performance is a battle against anxiety. The fear never fades. The nerves never go away. But that doesn’t stop her. She does it anyway. Forces herself onto the stage, into the moment—and once she’s there, she loves it.

The future is a blur of controlled chaos. There are no limits, no neat genre boxes. Fans can expect even more unexpected twists in her upcoming projects—more boundary-pushing, more unpredictability. Five years from now, she doesn’t just see a career. She sees a massive, thriving community. Not just fans, but people who uplift and inspire each other, who recognize their own worth. Music is just the vehicle. The mission is so much bigger.

As the industry shifts with the rise of AI and evolving technology, Izzy remains unfazed. Creativity has always thrived on tools, whether they’re instruments, production techniques, or even artificial intelligence. As long as the heart of music remains intact, innovation will never be a threat.

Beyond music, her ultimate goal is simple but profound: to make people feel seen. To remind them they are loved. And whether that’s through a song, a message, or simply existing as herself, she plans to do exactly that—for as long as she has breath.

Till Lindemann Unleashes New Solo Single “Meine Welt” Ahead of 2025 Tour

Rammstein frontman Till Lindemann has released his latest solo single, “Meine Welt”, marking a bold and thought-provoking addition to his growing catalog of solo work. Initially launched digitally on December 20, 2024, the single has now been made available in physical formats as of March 14, 2025, through Out of Line Music.

“Meine Welt” (translated as My World) showcases Lindemann’s signature deep, commanding vocals paired with an intense, cinematic arrangement. The track dives into themes of personal identity, defiance, and resilience, reinforcing his reputation as one of the most expressive and provocative artists in modern German music.

A Sonic and Visual Statement

The single arrives alongside a visually striking music video that reflects Lindemann’s dark, avant-garde artistic vision. With haunting imagery and cryptic symbolism, the video echoes the song’s theme of constructing one’s own reality despite external pressures.

“Meine Welt” was composed by German musician Nicolas Ludwig and produced with a distinct fusion of industrial rock, orchestral elements, and electronic flourishes. Its release comes at a pivotal moment in Lindemann’s career, following a turbulent period of public scrutiny, which the song appears to confront head-on.

A Special Edition Release

Fans can now purchase “Meine Welt” in multiple physical formats, including:

  • Standard CD Single
  • Limited Edition Picture Minimax CD
  • 7-Inch Vinyl (Regular and Limited Edition Picture Vinyl)

These collectible versions highlight the track’s stark and confrontational aesthetic, with cover art featuring “Kill Till” spelled in Cyrillic, an apparent reference to past controversies.

A Remix from Avenged Sevenfold’s Zacky Vengeance

Adding a unique twist to the single, Lindemann enlisted Zacky Vengeance of Avenged Sevenfold to craft an exclusive remix of “Meine Welt,” injecting a fresh, aggressive dimension into the track. The collaboration merges Lindemann’s theatrical style with Vengeance’s hard-hitting guitar work, creating an electrifying reinterpretation.

The “Meine Welt” Tour: A Grand Spectacle Awaits

The release of “Meine Welt” sets the stage for Lindemann’s highly anticipated Meine Welt Tour 2025, kicking off on October 29, 2025, in Leipzig, Germany. The extensive tour will see Lindemann perform across multiple European cities, delivering his signature mix of industrial metal, theatrical storytelling, and boundary-pushing performances.

With “Meine Welt”, Till Lindemann reaffirms his artistic independence and unapologetic vision, proving once again that his world—his music, his storytelling, and his raw, unfiltered emotions—belong solely to him.

DROUTH Announces New Album The Teeth of Time – Out May 16th via Eternal Warfare Records 🔥⚔️

New Single “False Grail” Streaming Now! 🎶💀

Portland’s blackened death metal force DROUTH returns this spring with the highly anticipated release of their third full-length album, The Teeth of Time, arriving May 16th via Eternal Warfare Records. Following their critically acclaimed 2020 release Excerpts From a Dread Liturgy, the new record is an unrelenting storm of doom-laden intensity, existential dread, and sonic brutality.

A Manifestation of Torment and Chaos 🖤🔥

DROUTH comments on the upcoming release:
“We are proud to present The Teeth of Time, a culmination of several years of blood, sweat, and pain. It is a nightmare made manifest, and we are both eager to share our creative work and grateful to the many people who helped make it possible.”

To mark the album’s announcement, the band has unveiled “False Grail,” a harrowing preview of the hellscape awaiting listeners within The Teeth of Time. First premiered at Invisible Oranges, the track delivers an ominous, suffocating atmosphere that perfectly sets the tone for the album.

Matt Solis on “False Grail”:

“‘False Grail’ was the last song we wrote before entering the studio. It came together relatively quickly based on ideas that Stikker brought in—he had it well fleshed out, but we expanded the closing doom section to really emphasize the dynamic shift in the song. We also knew we wanted string accompaniment, so we had Eva Vonne from Isenordal add mournful viola layers after tracking was completed.”

Matt Stikker on the Song’s Concept:

“Lyrically, the song is a nightmare reflecting the disconnect between the true and projected self, and the increasing tension between those poles that we all experience. The map is not the territory, but when the map prefigures and gradually dictates the territory, our agency is threatened forever.”

ALLEGAEON Unleashes “The Swarm” Video Ahead of The Ossuary Lens Release + North American Tour Kicks Off Next Week 🎸🔥

Technical death metal visionaries ALLEGAEON have just dropped their latest single, “The Swarm,” accompanied by a powerful new video, now premiering at Metal Injection. The track is taken from their forthcoming full-length album, The Ossuary Lens, set to be released on April 4th, 2025, via Metal Blade Records.

🔗 Watch “The Swarm” Now

Guitarist Greg Burgess shares insight into the track’s origins:
“This is a piece written by [guitarist] Michael Stancel. The frantic intro riff was actually written on tour in the UK on a boat in Bristol. I remember filming him playing it so we wouldn’t forget how to play it. The show was sold out and ruled, and then all of our gear got rained on because they had us load out so they could have a disco after the show. Shame!”

Stancel adds:
“If I could have set that venue adrift, I would have—but at least we got a song out of it.”

The Ossuary Lens: ALLEGAEON’s Most Brutal and Technically Dazzling Album Yet 💀🎶

The Ossuary Lens marks ALLEGAEON’s seventh studio album and the highly anticipated return of original vocalist Ezra Haynes, rejoining the band after nearly a decade. The album explores various perspectives on death, delving into themes both philosophical and visceral.

“Each song is a different topic, but there’s always a perspective of death tied in,” explains Haynes. “Since the entire album revolves around this theme, we felt that ‘Ossuary’ was a fitting concept, and thus, The Ossuary Lens was born.”

SINthetik Messiah Unveils Haunting New EP “The Lost Tribe” 🌿🔮

Louisiana-based tribal industrial project SINthetik Messiah returns with a powerful and immersive new EP, The Lost Tribe, delving into themes of alienation, ancestral pain, and cultural identity. Available exclusively on Bandcamp today, the EP will hit all streaming platforms in April.

A Sonic Journey Through History and Identity 🌎🎶

Created by Cajun songwriter and sound designer Bug Gigabyte, The Lost Tribe blends industrial, electro, dance, rock, and ambient elements to craft a deeply emotional and thought-provoking soundscape. The EP’s two tracks explore historical trauma and personal struggle, rooted in the untold narratives of Louisiana’s indigenous people.

🔹 “Nature’s Magik” captures the anguish and raw energy stemming from the 1706 attack by French soldiers on the Chitimacha people, an event that left a lasting scar on the region’s history.

🔹 “Poison To Our Hearts” addresses the harsh reality of racial exclusion within the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana, where members of African descent have been denied recognition for over a century. The song paints a stark picture of injustice, longing, and the painful search for acceptance within one’s own heritage—an issue that continues to define Louisiana’s so-called Lost Tribe.

Hocico Unleashes New Single & Video “The Screen” 💀🎶

📺 Watch & Listen Now: The Screen

Mexican electro-industrial pioneers Hocico return with “The Screen,” a scathing new single that takes direct aim at the toxicity of the digital world. Known for their aggressive beats and uncompromising lyrics, Hocico delivers a powerful critique of online cruelty, exposing the cowardice and deception that thrive behind the anonymity of a screen.

🔹 A Brutal Callout of Digital Deception 🔹

“You spit your filth, while you’re unseen” – With “The Screen,” Hocico paints a vivid portrait of the internet’s darker corners, where trolls and keyboard warriors attack from the shadows without facing real consequences. The lyrics cut deep, unmasking the false boldness of those who hide behind their devices, only to crumble when faced with real-world confrontation.

The chorus, “You lie, you dream, you live behind the screen,” encapsulates the disconnect between digital personas and real-life insecurities, a theme vocally charged by Erk Aicrag’s impassioned delivery.

🎹 Classic Hocico Energy with a Modern Edge 🔥

Musically, “The Screen” is pure, unrelenting Hocico – pounding industrial beats, distorted synths, and an intensity that mirrors the song’s scathing message. The track blends the duo’s signature dark electronic style with a modern, urgent sound, ensuring it hits hard for longtime fans and new listeners alike.

🔻 Facing the Reality of the Digital Age 🔻

Hocico doesn’t just create music—they hold a mirror to society, forcing listeners to confront the cruelty lurking behind digital facades. “The Screen” serves as a wake-up call, demanding awareness of how the online world enables false identities and unaccountable aggression.

Critics Rave About “Prophecy” 🔥📢

🔥 Decibel Magazine – “Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”

🔥 Revolver Magazine – “Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”

🔥 Kerrang! – “The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’

🔥 No Clean Singing – “GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”

THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE Joins Metal Blade Records and Embarks on European Tour with Distant and Enterprise Earth

Metal Blade Records proudly welcomes THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE, the Pennsylvania-based deathcore juggernauts, to its renowned roster. Known for their relentless touring and unyielding sound, the band continues to carve its place among the elite in the deathcore scene.

A Legacy of Crushing Innovation

Formed in 2010, THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE quickly established themselves with their self-released debut album, Know Your Exits, and have since become a staple in the metal community. By 2013, the band had signed with Density Records to release their second album, Invivo [Exvivo], and embarked on tours with heavyweights such as I Declare War, Fit For An Autopsy, Thy Art Is Murder, and Kublai Khan. Their evolution across five more full-lengths earned them Billboard chart placements and critical acclaim worldwide.

Their 2024 release, No Name Graves (via Unique Leader Records), marked a significant milestone in their career. Knotfest described it as “reasserting their position as innovators and leaders in the deathcore genre,” while New Transcendence called it “a cinematic, crushing experience.” No Clean Singing praised its “primal intensity and potent, primitive nihilism,” likening it to acts like Black Tongue and Humanity’s Last Breath, but with a stripped-down, raw approach.

Excitement for the Future

Speaking on their new partnership with Metal Blade Records, the band shared their enthusiasm:
“We are beyond excited to announce that we have signed with the legendary Metal Blade Records. It is an honor to be on the same roster as such iconic acts past and present. Shout out to Ryan Williams and the rest of the Metal Blade team for giving us the opportunity to riff.”

The Origin of Madness Tour

Massive Ego Return with Dark yet Hopeful Single and Music Video: “(My) Death Song”

Release Date: February 6, 2025
Label: Out Of Line Music

Massive Ego, the UK-based dark synth-pop band, is back with their striking new single, “(My) Death Song”. Accompanied by an emotionally charged music video, the track offers listeners a bold evolution in sound—combining dark themes with an unexpected message of hope and self-reflection.

“I’m bruised, but I’m alive,” declares frontman Marc Massive in one of the standout lyrics, setting the tone for a song that journeys from vulnerability to defiance. Opening with softer vocals, the track lures listeners into a false sense of security before delivering a punch of raw emotion, channeled through snarling vocals, gnarly guitars, and climactic synth-driven energy.

Catharsis through Creativity

Reflecting on the track’s deeply personal nature, Marc Massive explains, “This song became a necessary cathartic exercise. I was in such a bad headspace that writing this track helped me work through it. Had I not discovered self-help books, meditation, and professional support, I wouldn’t have made it through. The process of rising from despair has been miraculous for my creativity, and this new album reflects that transformation in every song.”

A New Era for Massive Ego

The single also signals a major shift in the band’s musical direction. Long known for their synth-heavy sound, Massive Ego now incorporates a raw guitar edge that brings a fresh intensity to their music.

Guitarist Porl Young, formerly of Rosetta Stone, describes the experience: “Adding guitars to Massive Ego’s synth-driven sound has been an exciting challenge. ‘(My) Death Song’ gave the guitars space to breathe, allowing for a seamless blend of arpeggios and heavy chords that adds a raw, distorted edge to the electronic foundation.”

Keyboardist Lloyd Price adds: “This single is a real departure from our past work. The combination of electronics with heavy guitars offers a glimpse into the eclectic mix on the upcoming album.”

Visual Evolution

As the band prepares for their 30th anniversary in 2026, drummer Olly Frost—known for his constantly evolving appearance—hints at a new visual direction. “For Marc, his iconic look became both a trademark and a prison. Personally, I intend to explore less makeup-driven styles and focus more on form and color saturation, which fascinates me.”

Looking Ahead

Massive Ego is currently working on a new full-length album while gearing up for a busy live schedule. Their first confirmed performance will be at Germany’s M’era Luna Festival on August 9–10, 2025, with additional dates to be announced soon.

Stay tuned for more updates on Massive Ego’s latest projects and performances!
