🚢 GRAVEYARD & GOAT Unleash Psychedelic Storm with “Ship of Fools”

A twin blast of vintage swagger and cosmic chaos—now streaming everywhere!

Swedish rock torchbearers GRAVEYARD have joined forces with their longtime psych-rock comrades GOAT to release a mind-expanding collaborative 7″ single for Record Store Day—and the second track, “Ship of Fools,” has officially hit the digital realm.

🔥 Stream “Ship of Fools” now
🎥 Watch the visualizer

This double A-side release—featuring the previously premiered “Light As A Feather”—is a smoky blend of GRAVEYARD’s soul-drenched rock and GOAT’s psychedelic ritualism. Born from freeform jam sessions at GOAT HQ, “Ship of Fools” crashes over listeners with crashing waves of fuzzed-out guitar, booming low-end, and the kind of vintage swagger that would make the ’70s blush. It’s GRAVEYARD’s grandeur polished by GOAT’s experimental grit—a stadium-worthy stomp with the haze of a late-night seance.

On the flip side, “Light As A Feather” levitates into full-blown astral projection, ditching conventional song structure for a groove-heavy swirl of harmony and acid-drenched leads. It’s the sound of a sonic séance conducted by Father Yod at the wheel of the Rolling Stones’ tour bus.

UK death metal pioneers BENEDICTION have officially unleashed their new album Ravage Of Empires, and they’re kicking things off with a brand-new lyric video for the explosive opener “A Carrion Harvest”—a relentless old-school ripper primed to flatten everything in its path.

“Brace for impact, or be blown away.” These aren’t just lyrics—they’re a warning.

Ravage Of Empires is a masterclass in pure death metal devastation. Eleven blistering tracks steeped in guttural power, buzzsaw riffage, and thunderous groove. With this record, BENEDICTION reasserts their rightful place on the genre’s throne.

“A crusher of an album that rolls forward like a heavy tank.” – Rock Hard Germany (Album of the Month)
“Even in 2025, everyone else can just die off and bow to the forefathers.” – Metal Hammer Germany

🌹 GHOST BATH Release Haunting New Single & Video

“Well, I Tried Drowning” unleashes raw beauty from the abyss—Rose Thorn Necklace drops May 9 via Nuclear Blast Records

Emerging from the shadows with sharpened sorrow and suffocating atmosphere, GHOST BATH unveil their second single “Well, I Tried Drowning”—a visceral ode to despair pulled straight from their upcoming full-length Rose Thorn Necklace.

🩸 The Sound of a Bleeding Soul

“‘Well, I Tried Drowning’ is a plea for death—not by my own hand, but by someone else,” confesses frontman Nameless (Dennis Mikula). “It’s a fantasy rooted in wishful thinking… that someone would cut my throat in my sleep, finally ending my life as I drown in my own blood. Wish fulfillment in blunt, gory detail.”

The video, directed by Claudio Marino (Artax Film), translates this brutal beauty into a somber cinematic experience—a reflection of GHOST BATH’s signature style: depressive black metal with ethereal weight and unbearable honesty.

🕯️ Rose Thorn Necklace—Out May 9, 2025

Forged from the ashes of a conceptual trilogy (Moonlover, Starmourner, Self Loather), Rose Thorn Necklace finds Nameless diving deeper into the abyss. It’s GHOST BATH’s most intimate and intense offering yet, featuring blackened blasts, melancholic melodies, and moments of delicate emotional collapse.

Recorded across the first half of 2024, drums were tracked by Mike Heller at Heaven and Heller Studios, while all other elements were recorded by Nameless at his home studio. The record was mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley, with cover art by Ksenija Tarasova.

Obscura Unveils Second Chapter in Trilogy with “A Sonication”

Germany’s progressive metal icons Obscura have returned with their highly anticipated album, A Sonication, marking the second chapter of their ambitious trilogy. Released today via Nuclear Blast Records, this seventh full-length album showcases the band’s ongoing evolution while staying true to their complex, signature sound.

A Sonication bridges past and future, written during extensive touring in support of 2021’s A Valediction. The album was produced by award-winning Fredrik Nordström at Studio Fredman (In Flames, Architects) in Gothenburg, Sweden. Frontman Steffen Kummerer completed vocals and acoustic guitar sections using custom-built ENGL amps, creating a heavier yet brighter sonic experience. The result is a deeply personal record that blends scientific themes with philosophical introspection, offering fans an immersive experience.

Acclaimed artist Eliran Kantor designed the album’s silver-toned artwork, perfectly complementing its sonic identity. To celebrate the release, the band has shared the music video for In Solitude.

Listen to the album on all platforms: A Sonication

Steffen Kummerer on A Sonication:

“With A Sonication, our seventh full-length album sees the light of day, and we couldn’t be prouder. This record has an introverted, melancholic vibe that fits perfectly with the trilogy’s theme. It’s a fragile, human touch—best experienced on a good system or high-quality headphones. We’ll be touring relentlessly in the coming years. Listen to the record and see you at a venue near you!”
