⚰️ ALLEGAEON Unleashes Video for “Wake Circling Above” from The Ossuary Lens

Brutality meets orchestral darkness in this slow-burning tech-death epic

Colorado tech-death force ALLEGAEON has just dropped a brand-new video for “Wake Circling Above”, a haunting highlight from their latest album The Ossuary Lens, out now via Metal Blade Records.

🎥 Watch “Wake Circling Above”

Guitarist Michael Stancel sheds light on the song’s cinematic weight:

“Ezra wanted something slow and heavy, and I was like, ‘DONE.’ I drew inspiration from Dimmu Borgir and Septicflesh to build those massive orchestral sections. It’s probably the most different track on the record, but still packed with classic ALLEGAEON-isms.”

🔁 Also check out:

💿 The Ossuary Lens – Out Now

ALLEGAEON’s seventh full-length marks the return of original vocalist Ezra Haynes, whose presence fuels a brutal rebirth. The Ossuary Lens dives deep into death’s many forms—each track a perspective, each riff a reckoning. It’s the most unified, visceral ALLEGAEON album to date.

📀 Available Formats:

  • Ossuary Marbled (US)
  • Wine And Lust (US)
  • 180g Black (EU)
  • Red Obsidian Marbled (EU)
  • Ossuary Crystal (EU – Ltd. 200)

  • Apr 9 – Vancouver, BC – Rickshaw Theatre
  • Apr 10 – Portland, OR – Hawthorne Theater
  • Apr 11 – San Francisco, CA – DNA Lounge
  • Apr 12 – Los Angeles, CA – Teragram Ballroom

🗡️ Death Reborn Through Sound

The Ossuary Lens reunites the band with producer Dave Otero (Flatline Audio), known for capturing the balance of uncompromising ferocity and melodic grandeur that has become the band’s signature.

The album is more than technical fireworks—it’s a soul-splitting descent into mortality, sharpened by Haynes’ raw vocal return and thematic depth.

💬 Praise for The Ossuary Lens

“Absolutely fucking blistering.” – Metal Injection
“Maximalist and masterful.” – Decibel Magazine
“A return to form and evolution in one stroke.” – No Clean Singing
“Savage and emotionally potent.” – Hotel Hobies

🔥 Faderhead Unleashes New Single “This Is Not The End” + Mindset Hacks for High-Functioning Controlled Chaos 🧠💥

🎤 New Track Previewed Live in Germany

Kicking off March with explosive energy, Faderhead delivered a sold-out show in Oberhausen, Germany—where fans got a surprise taste of a brand-new track: “This Is Not The End.” Despite never having heard it before, the crowd went off.

📹 Watch the crowd reaction here

The official music video will be filmed this Saturday in Hamburg, where the team hopes for an equally electric audience. The single is scheduled to drop mid-May, just in time to crank momentum before Wave-Gotik-Treffen.

💿 FH20 Album in the Works

In last month’s Patreon studio stream, Faderhead teased plans for a brand-new full-length album in early March 2026.

Why now?
2026 marks 20 years since the release of Faderhead’s debut album “FH1”, and what better way to celebrate than with an “FH20” release.

After a string of singles in 2024, it’s time for something more immersive. Faderhead is back in album mode.

🎛️ 1-Hour Rave Mix: Not Your Typical FH Vibe

March’s 1-hour Patreon-exclusive mix takes a rave-forward detour. Less darkwave, more full-on energy.

It’s rhythmic, pulsing, and designed to attract new listeners—so if you’re into high-octane beats, give it a spin.

🎟️ Upcoming Faderhead Live Dates

Apr 5, 2025 – Bahnhof Pauli, Hamburg (SOLD OUT!)
✨ with special guest: Mechanical Vein

Aug 9-10, 2025 – M’era Luna Festival, Hildesheim

💪 Mindset Hacks: Fuck Your Excuses, Use Microbursts Instead

Q1 is over. Are your New Year’s resolutions collecting dust? Let’s fix that.

We all make excuses—life’s busy, motivation’s low, the timing’s never right. But if you wait for perfect conditions, you’ll stay stuck forever.

⏱️ Microbursts: The 10-Minute Fix

Instead of aiming for a perfect hour-long work sprint, start with 5–15 minutes of focused action.
Set a timer. Do one task. When it dings, you’re done. Or keep going.

That’s the magic of microbursts—small momentum snowballs fast.

🗓️ Temporal Landmarks: Hit Reset on Command

Want a clean slate? Use temporal landmarks like Mondays, birthdays, or the 1st of the month to mentally reset.
Pick a hard start date and commit. No waiting for motivation. Just move.

🧠 Perfection Is a Lie. Progress Is Power

You don’t need the perfect hour or the perfect energy. You need movement.
Start with one push-up.
One sentence.
One small win.

Because motion beats perfection every time.

🚀 Take the Shot

Next time you’re tempted to delay:
Say “fuck that.”
Set a timer.
Start something.

Small wins build big momentum.

🧟 LIK Drop New Single “Morgue Rat” Featuring Linnea Landstedt 💀

Swedish death metal crushers LIK are back with a brand-new single, “Morgue Rat,” taken from their upcoming full-length Necro, out April 18th via Metal Blade Records.

🎥 Watch “Morgue Rat” HERE

This twisted and groovy slab of horror-metal features guest vocals from Linnea Landstedt (Tyranex, Ice Age) and is inspired by infamous necrophiliac Karen Greenlee. “It’s about a mortician who can’t keep her hands off the dead,” says vocalist/guitarist Tomas Åkvik. “It’s also our first track ever with clean-ish guitars.”

Previously released video: Watch “War Praise”

🩸 About Necro

With Necro, LIK have created their most intense, punishing, and twistedly cinematic release yet. Drawing from the putrid depths of old-school Swedish death metal à la Dismember, Entombed, and At The Gates, this record offers ten blood-soaked tracks that are as groovy as they are gruesome.
Think zombie flick meets Stockholm sound—raw, brutal, and utterly irresistible.

The album’s cover art was designed by Stockholm tattoo artist Jens Olsson and serves as a visual appetizer for the carnage within.

🧪 Recorded with Pure Necro Intentions

Neco was tracked live in just three days at Necromorbus Studio (NBS) in Söderfors, Sweden, with production wizard Lawrence Mackrory (Meshuggah, Katatonia, Decapitated). Åkvik’s vocals were laid down separately at Rorysound Studios in Uppsala.
Mackrory’s been behind the board for LIK since their 2015 debut Mass Funeral Evocation, and Necro may just be the band’s defining moment.

The album also features guest appearances from Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath), Lawrence Mackrory himself, and Linnea Landstedt.

  • 180g Black
  • Tombstone Grey Blue Marbled
  • Dark Sky Red Marbled (Ltd. 500)

🌌 FRACTAL UNIVERSE Unleashes New Video “A New Cycle” Ahead of The Great Filters Album Release 💀

Progressive death metal boundary-breakers FRACTAL UNIVERSE have dropped a brand-new music video for their latest single “A New Cycle” — the third and final preview from their upcoming full-length, The Great Filters, out this Friday, April 4th via M-Theory Audio.

🎥 Watch “A New Cycle” HERE

The track dives into the speculative sci-fi concept of directed panspermia — humanity, teetering on extinction, sends probes filled with primordial life across the cosmos to spark new civilizations. But those civilizations, destined to repeat our same fatal mistakes, find themselves trapped in a never-ending loop of rise and ruin.

Directed by Pauline Colombani (www.c3polette.com), the video is the latest visual chapter following “Causality’s Grip” and “The Seed of Singularity,” all showcasing FRACTAL UNIVERSE’s signature fusion of progressive technicality and eerie saxophone-laced soundscapes.

🎧 About The Great Filters

Due out April 4, 2025, The Great Filters is FRACTAL UNIVERSE’s most ambitious and intricate album to date. Merging heavy riffs, jazz-influenced melodies, and philosophical storytelling, it delivers a cerebral experience laced with cosmic awe.
Recorded at Boundless Production Studios and Fractal Headquarters, the album was mixed and mastered by Flavien Morel (Benighted Soul, Catalyst).

💿 Available Formats:

  • Limited-edition red with black splatter vinyl (500 copies)
  • Red and cream marble vinyl (band/label exclusive, 200 copies)

🧬 FRACTAL UNIVERSE – A Legacy of Evolution

Formed in 2015 in Nancy, France, FRACTAL UNIVERSE made their debut with the independent EP Boundaries of Reality before signing to Kolony Records for 2017’s Engram of Decline, a concept record influenced by Nietzsche.
They joined Metal Blade Records for 2019’s Rhizomes of Insanity, exploring fragmented human consciousness with technical brilliance. Their critically acclaimed 2021 album The Impassable Horizon tackled themes of determinism and free will, all while integrating saxophone flourishes into their progressive metal palette.
Having toured with heavyweights like Obscura, Evergrey, Black Dahlia Murder, and God Dethroned, FRACTAL UNIVERSE continue to carve their place as one of the most innovative acts in modern metal.

🧠 IGORRR Unveils Amen – New Album Drops September 19 via Metal Blade Records 💀

French sonic chaos-conductor Gautier Serre, better known as IGORRR, is set to release his fifth full-length album Amen on September 19th via Metal Blade Records. As always, IGORRR defies genre, logic, and expectations, weaving together breakcore, baroque, metal, and absurdism into something that sounds like nothing—and everything—all at once.
The first single, “ADHD”, arrives with a video that’s as demented as it is mesmerizing. Directed by Meat Dept, the visual journey is part therapy session, part brain meltdown, with an AI-glitched aesthetic that takes cringe into addictive territory.

🎥 Watch “ADHD”
🎧 Pre-save/Pre-order Amen

🎼 A Darker, Heavier IGORRR

“This album is darker and more solemn than anything I’ve done before,” says Serre. “I recorded a real choir in a church, and did deep experimental sound design to create something that truly resonates.”
Despite the somber tone, Amen doesn’t skimp on IGORRR’s trademark absurdity. Tracks like “Blastbeat Falafel” and “ADHD” serve as sonic palate cleansers, injecting manic energy and unpredictability into the album’s bleak weight.
“Those wild tracks are necessary,” Gautier explains. “Like a shot of limoncello between courses.”

🧬 The Mind Behind the Mayhem

Gautier describes his process as a constant stream of subconscious composition. “Music happens even in my sleep,” he says. “I create concertos in my dreams—the challenge is filtering through them to find the ones worth bringing into reality.”
On the new video, he adds: “ADHD is kind of autobiographical. It starts in silence and ends in chaos, like a brain spinning out of control but somehow still standing.”
The video’s collaborators, Meat Dept, also known for IGORRR’s viral “Very Noise,” blended 3D visuals with AI for a surreal, twisted vibe. “We leaned into ‘mental cringe’ with aesthetic influences from James Bond to Fantômas,” they say.

📀 Amen Tracklist

  1. Daemoni
  2. Headbutt
  3. Limbo
  4. Blastbeat Falafel
  5. ADHD
  6. 2020
  7. Mustard Mucous

💀 About The Nothing That Is

Released via Nuclear Blast, the band’s seventh album is their most ambitious and emotionally devastating effort yet. Produced by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio, the record trades fleeting trends for timeless terror—delivering ten dense, dynamic tracks that explore everything from planetary collapse to personal despair.

From the crushing “Hostage” to the haunting “The Silver Sun”, this album flows like a descent into modern-day dystopia, demanding to be played start to finish.

“This is not about commercial appeal,” says the band. “This is about rage, reflection, and ripping away the façade.”

Cosmic riff architects DVNE have announced a full-scale European tour this May, bringing their interstellar new album Voidkind to stages across the continent. With a reputation for jaw-dropping live performances and soaring post-metal grandeur, the Glasgow-based five-piece is poised to deliver their most immersive run yet.

Fresh off the critical buzz surrounding Voidkind—hailed as “post-metal album of the decade thus far” by Metal Hammer UK—DVNE will journey from the UK to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and back, with additional festival appearances lined up for summer 2025.

Recorded in rural Scottish isolation, Voidkind strips down DVNE’s sonic density while amplifying their emotional impact. Lyrically, the album follows a dream-haunting godlike entity and the generations of followers it seduces—a concept echoed in Felix Abel Klaer’s stunning artwork and the band’s explosive live execution.

🩸 HARM’S WAY & FULL OF HELL Forge Unholy Alliance for Spring 2025 Tour 💀

Prepare for impact. This May, HARM’S WAY and FULL OF HELL will detonate a co-headlining tour across North America, unleashing sonic violence alongside support from KRUELTY, JARHEAD FERTILIZER, and CLIQUE.

The Spring 2025 run kicks off May 10th in Detroit and runs through June 8th, culminating in Toronto. Along the way, HARM’S WAY will wreck stages at some of the year’s most stacked festivals—Sonic Temple, Welcome to Rockville, and Milwaukee Metal Fest. This relentless campaign also leads into a new HARM’S WAY EP, with further details to surface in the coming weeks.

“We’re building something heavier than just a tour,” said the band in a teaser. “This is about expression, destruction, and evolution.”

The tour follows the acclaimed release of Common Suffering (Metal Blade Records), an album that sees HARM’S WAY exploring grief, disorder, misanthropy, and mental collapse through some of the most diverse and punishing songwriting in their career.

Tickets are on sale now. Brace yourself.

🕳 PSYCLON NINE Descends Into Darkness with Eighth Studio Album “And Then Oblivion” 💀

Twenty-five years into their reign, PSYCLON NINE have returned to the abyss with a vengeance. Their latest full-length offering, And Then Oblivion, out March 21, 2025 via Metropolis Records, is a genre-defying sonic invocation—a twisted ritual that fuses blackened industrial, deathcore, ambient, trap, and metal into something altogether untamed and unclean.

Helmed by longtime visionary Nero Bellum, the album shatters expectation with tracks like “CRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKT” and “I Choose Violence,” merging visceral textures with apocalyptic production and spine-splintering vocals. Bellum explains,

“I specifically set out to break as many genre limitations as possible, while staying true to the concepts and imagery Psyclon Nine evokes.”

Critics across the globe are already losing their minds over it:

🩸 “Doesn’t just cross boundaries – it tears them down…” – Sonic Seducer (DE)
🩸 “Black metal vocals matched with trap and glitch… blastbeats and atmospherics to die for.” – Metal Digest (UK)
🩸 “Creepy and awesome… nursery rhymes forged in hell.” – Jace Media (UK)
🩸 “Suspenseful, sinister, genre-bending.” – Tempelores (NL)

⚙️ Tracklisting – “And Then Oblivion”

  1. DEVIL’S WORK
  2. I CHOOSE VIOLENCE
  3. SHOOT TO KILL
  4. CRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKT
  5. LOCUST OF EVERYTHING
  6. SPEAK EVIL
  7. SAY YOUR PRAYERS
  8. APRÈS TOI LE DELUGE
  9. TAXIDERMY
  10. [Hidden Track]

The visual world of And Then Oblivion is just as intense. The official music video for “CRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKT” arrives 24 hours after the album’s global release, promising a brutal, cinematic descent into the core of PSYCLON NINE’s blackened psyche.

🔥 VOWWS Ignite New Era With Seductive Single “Hurt You” + European Tour with Jerry Cantrell Announced 💀

Out now via Out Of Line Music, rising Australian darkwave duo VOWWS return with the haunting new single “Hurt You” — a brooding, sensual exploration of love, memory, and longing. Following the success of their hard-hitting track “Blood’s On Fire” featuring Josh Freese of Foo Fighters, “Hurt You” brings a more intimate, melancholic energy while maintaining their signature cinematic edge.

“This is probably as close as we’ll get to an actual love song,” VOWWS explain. “But it’s more like a memory of love. A rose-tinted longing… Sometimes these memories change and become their own entity, like an old, flickering movie of the past. That feeling is what the song represents to us.”

🖤 Stream + Watch “Hurt You” now:
Listen + Watch

Known for their fearless fusion of industrial, electronica, and alt-rock, VOWWS (Rizz + Matt James) have already captured the attention of legends like Deftones, Gary Numan, Korn, A Perfect Circle, and Billy Corgan. With their upcoming 2025 album, the duo have sharpened their vision further — collaborating with Billy Howerdel (A Perfect Circle) to bring their sonic storytelling to life.

Beyond music, VOWWS have also made waves in the fashion world, working with Commes des Garçons, Givenchy, Alyx, and Byredo for live performances and brand compositions, reflecting their multi-dimensional artistic impact.

🔥 ONI Drops Haunting New Ballad “Shouldn’t Feel This Way” + Tour With Pop Evil This Spring 💀

Canadian alt-metal trailblazer ONI has returned with a soul-piercing new single, “Shouldn’t Feel This Way,” a powerful acoustic ballad that peels back the distortion to reveal raw emotion and heartbreak. Out now on all platforms, the track marks a distinct shift in tone for ONI—showcasing a softer, more vulnerable side of project founder Jake Oni.

📍 Stream “Shouldn’t Feel This Way”: Click Here

💬 Reflecting on the song, Oni shares:

“‘Shouldn’t Feel This Way’ is about mourning the loss of someone really close to you, and the constant struggle in life to live without feeling lost and alone… It isn’t like anything I have released before. I got to shoot the video on my farm in Canada which is a very important place for me.”

Co-written with John Boecklin, Seth Evans, and Kile Odell, the track follows the recent cover of The Kooks’ “Naive” and ONI’s emotionally charged Genesis EP, setting the stage for a dynamic and deeply personal year in the band’s evolution.

🔥 About ONI

Formed in 2014, ONI has carved out a unique space in metal with his fusion of progressive songwriting, crushing metalcore, and melodic hooks. From his debut Ironshore (2016) to the powerful sophomore effort Loathing Light (2022) featuring Iggy Pop and Randy Blythe, to the genre-defying The Silver Line (2023) with collabs including Howard Jones and Sueco, Jake Oni has proven he’s one of the scene’s most versatile and ambitious voices.

The Genesis EP (2025) continues that upward trajectory with singles like “Deja Vu,” “Walk Away,” and “Erase” leading the charge.

Featuring guest appearances by members of DISTANT, NASTY, TEN56, VISCERA, and AVIANA, this album is a dark hymn for the broken and the cursed.

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.”

New Album on the Horizon

Last month, DIMMU BORGIR returned to the studio with longtime producer Fredrik Nordström to craft the highly anticipated follow-up to 2018’s Eonian. This marks the band’s first album since the departure of longtime guitarist Galder (Thomas Rune Andersen) in August 2024.

In a recent interview with Jerry Kurunen of Rauta, guitarist Silenoz discussed the creative process behind the new material:

“We’ve been working on new material for quite a while. Even during the pandemic, we were each developing ideas individually before coming together to create something truly unique. We take our time to ensure that every album surpasses expectations, and this one will be no different.”

Although details remain scarce, Silenoz hinted at a return to a heavier, more orchestrated sound reminiscent of Abrahadabra and Eonian.

DIMMU BORGIR: Evolution & Lineup Stability

Over the years, DIMMU BORGIR has evolved from its raw Norwegian black metal roots into a symphonic powerhouse, blending cinematic orchestration with blistering intensity. Speaking on the band’s stylistic changes, Silenoz noted:

“We’ve never confined ourselves to traditional labels. Every album represents growth. Whether it’s the orchestrations of ‘Abrahadabra’ or the atmospheric elements of ‘Eonian,’ our music constantly evolves. The new album will take on its own life.”

Despite various lineup changes, the band’s core remains strong. DIMMU BORGIR’s official lineup is now:
