🚀 Awake Consciousness Ignite Evolution on Into A Quantum Leap

Spanish metalcore unit blends djent, post-core, and progressive fury with a message of awakening.

Awake Consciousness are not your average heavy band. Emerging from Spain’s ever-growing underground metal scene, this progressive metalcore powerhouse fuses djent, groove metal, and post-core into a sound that’s as technically brutal as it is spiritually uplifting. Their mission? To awaken the human soul—one riff at a time.

💿 Their debut album, Into A Quantum Leap, dropped via ON FIRE Records in February 2022, and it’s a full-throttle, soul-shaking declaration of intent.

Formed in 2018 by guitarist Danfred and vocalist Ira Kero, the band evolved quickly into a tight, high-impact force. With Manu Valler on second guitar bringing production chops and technical expertise, and bassist Erik Grajo rounding out the group with sonic weight and visual flair, Awake Consciousness became a vessel for change—musically and thematically.

🧠 The Message Behind the Mayhem

Into A Quantum Leap explores the seismic shift from the Piscean Age to the Aquarian Age, a symbolic leap into a higher vibration of awareness. With lyrics rooted in daily struggles, spiritual introspection, and societal critique, Awake Consciousness aren’t just breaking necks—they’re breaking paradigms.

This album is a social wake-up call, a rallying cry to smash fear, reject apathy, and embrace conscious living. If you’re a fan of Jinjer, Monuments, Meshuggah, or Veil of Maya, Awake Consciousness might just be the next mind-melting discovery on your radar.

🎧 Tracklist:

  1. We, The Outsiders
  2. Neptune
  3. Entropy
  4. Masquerade
  5. Eris
  6. Quit
  7. Evolution Is Fear

⚔️ BYZANTINE Announce New Album Harbingers—Coming June 13 via Metal Blade Records

Metal veterans return with crushing riffs, dystopian themes, and a lineup forged for war.

West Virginia metal juggernauts BYZANTINE are back with their long-awaited eighth studio album, Harbingers, dropping June 13th via Metal Blade Records. And to kick things off, the band just unleashed their punishing new single “Floating Chrysanthema”—a futuristic tale of AI domination set to one of the heaviest tracks they’ve ever written.

🎥 Watch the video for “Floating Chrysanthema”
💿 Pre-order Harbingers now

Produced by Peter Wichers (Soilwork, Nevermore), Harbingers sees BYZANTINE pushing their sonic and lyrical intensity to new heights. Clocking in at 45 minutes across 9 tracks, the album is a bold evolution from one of the most unsung yet relentless forces of the New Wave Of American Heavy Metal.

💬 “After 25 years of riding the struggle bus, we’re ready to show the rock and metal world what we’re truly about,” says frontman Chris “OJ” Ojeda.

“Floating Chrysanthema” hits like a sledgehammer—fueled by Wichers’ sharp production and a post-human narrative where artificial intelligence enslaves humanity. With towering riffs and neck-snapping rhythm, it’s the perfect preview of what’s to come.

🖼️ The album cover, designed by Ashley Hoey, features a powerful portrait of Irene of Athens, the first female ruler of the Byzantine Empire, tying directly into the album’s title—Harbingers, or “ones who usher in great change.”

💣 Harbingers Tracklist:

  1. Consequentia
  2. A Place We Cannot Go
  3. Floating Chrysanthema
  4. The Clockmaker’s Intention
  5. Riddance
  6. Harbinger
  7. The Unobtainable Sleep
  8. Kobayashi Maru
  9. Irene

🔥 A Legacy Reignited

Discovered by Lamb Of God’s Chris Adler, BYZANTINE broke onto the scene with 2004’s The Fundamental Component, setting a benchmark for groove-thrash hybrid aggression. Despite breakups, lineup changes, and label shifts, they’ve remained a cult favorite and metal lifer’s band—releasing genre-defying albums like To Release Is To Resolve and 2017’s The Cicada Tree.

Now, armed with a five-piece lineup (for the first time ever) that includes Tony Rohrbough’s return on guitar, BYZANTINE are ready to dominate. With Harbingers, they aren’t just making a statement—they’re making history.

💬 “If you’ve slept on BYZANTINE for the past 25 years,” Ojeda warns, “Harbingers will awaken you.”

🚢 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.

New Music Release, Tinnitorturous

☢️ IN ABSENTIA Resurfaces with Long-Lost “Enola Gay” Cover After 30 Years

A forgotten EBM gem revived from the archives—out April 18th via Tinnitorturous

Originally recorded in 1995, IN ABSENTIA’s fierce electro cover of Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark’s iconic anti-war anthem “Enola Gay” is finally seeing the light of day. After spending three decades entombed on a DAT tape, the track has been digitally restored, remastered, and will be released April 18th, 2025 as a pay-what-you-want download via Bandcamp.

🎧 A long-lost relic from the early Danish EBM scene returns—louder, sharper, and more relevant than ever.

💣 From Vault to Victory

Founded in 1990, IN ABSENTIA became a cornerstone of Denmark’s early EBM movement, releasing two full-lengths and a mini-album before disbanding in 1996. Their cover of “Enola Gay” was never officially released—until now. Unearthed and mastered for a new generation, it pulses with vintage urgency and freshly polished grit.

🧛 Back from the Shadows

Since reigniting in 2012 and returning fully in 2020 to celebrate their 30th anniversary, the band has steadily reissued old material and unveiled new sonic assaults through Tinnitorturous. In 2024, they performed live for the first time in nearly three decades at Rust, Copenhagen, and 2025 sees the launch of two brand-new albums—Reanimated and Resurrected—along with festival performances across Europe including Familientreffen in Germany.

Negative Gain Productions, New Music Release

☔ ASTARI NITE Releases New Single “Ms. Rain On My Parade” via Negative Gain Productions

A moody synthwave anthem challenging validation, illusion, and emotional solitude

Miami-based darkwave romantics ASTARI NITE return with their haunting new single “Ms. Rain On My Parade”, out now via Negative Gain Productions. The track arrives hot on the heels of their recent success “Unisex Games”, further cementing their signature blend of cinematic melancholy and glittering post-punk noir.

🎧 Listen Now on Bandcamp

💔 A Song for the Misunderstood

Frontman Mychael reflects on the deeper meaning behind the track:

“Validation is not love, and some people are confused by the two. It’s unfortunate how many live their lives yearning for that certain approval by others. This world can be very dishonest if you allow it to be—and the longer you continue to dive into someone else’s sea of lies, you’ll always be alone, with your telephone, and all four walls of the room.”

“Ms. Rain On My Parade” paints a bittersweet portrait of isolation in the modern age—wrapped in shimmering synth textures, aching vocals, and infectious grooves that echo both vulnerability and defiance.

🛰️ A Star Reignites

After disbanding in 1999 following the release of their critically adored third album Satellite People, THE NORTHERN TERRITORIES left behind a trail of broken hearts and unanswered questions. Now, a quarter-century later, they’re back—not just with a new track, but with a fully-realized full-length album aimed straight at the soul of the synthpop faithful.

A Star in Orbit Still will mark a triumphant return for the duo, reminding longtime listeners why they were considered one of the hidden gems of the Scandinavian electronic scene.

💥 BELLHEAD Fire Warning Shots with Explosive New EP THREATS

Death, revenge, drowning, heartbreak, and murder—Chicago’s bass duo returns louder, darker, and more dangerous than ever.

Chicago’s rising industrial post-punk duo BELLHEAD have officially dropped the hammer with the announcement of their new EP THREATS, set for release on April 8, 2025 via Oppressive Sky Records. Available on CD, digital download, and all major streaming platforms, the title track is already live now via Bandcamp preorder.

🔥 THREATS is the first new material since their 2023 EP Good Intentions, and it’s a full-throttle evolution in both sound and style. Familiar themes of femme fatales, heartbreak, murder, and sorrow are back—but this time, the duo have cranked up the intensity and peeled back the curtain.

🎯 A New Era Begins

Gone is the signature black-and-white branding. In its place: vibrant yellow and a sharp, full-color portrait. For the first time, you can see the faces behind the menace: Ivan Russia and Karen Righeimer-Schock are making good on their threats.

Engineered by Neil Strauch and mastered by Carl Saff, the 7-track EP includes five new songs plus two remixes—each dripping with venom and vision. Highlights include:

  • “Heart Shaped Hole” twisted into a hallucinogenic haunt by Clubdrugs
  • “Bad Taste” reimagined with Stabbing Westward’s Chris Hall, giving it a dancefloor stomp you won’t soon forget

🩸 THREATS Tracklist

  1. Threats
  2. Heart Shaped Hole
  3. Shutters + Stutters
  4. No Dead Horses
  5. Double Jeopardy
  6. Bad Taste (Stabbing Westward Remix)
  7. Heart Shaped Hole (Clubdrugs Remix)

⚔️ BELLHEAD Live 2025

Fresh off a relentless national touring schedule that saw them supporting legends like Stabbing Westward, Clan of Xymox, Julien-K, and Night Club, BELLHEAD is heading back on the road in support of THREATS.

Spring Tour Dates:

  • 3/27 – Indianapolis, IN – Black Circle Brewery
  • 3/28 – Kenosha, WI – Port Of Kenosha

🌹 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.

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.

⚰️ 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.

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