New Album Cross Me Twice Drops March 28th + U.S. Summer Tour Announced! 🎸
The countdown is officially on! Phoenix-based nu-metal powerhouse SICKSENSE is gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated debut full-length album, Cross Me Twice, arriving March 28th via Earache Records. As the final taste before the album’s drop, the band has just unveiled their electrifying new single, “Follow Me”, a track packed with raw emotion, crushing riffs, and anthemic melodies.
Co-vocalist Killer V shares the deep meaning behind the track:
“‘Follow Me’ is about two people being together at the wrong place at the wrong time in that point of their lives. It’s a story of realizing and acknowledging that they just aren’t meant to be together. It doesn’t mean they’re bad people, they just aren’t right for each other.
We’re all flawed, we’ve all done or said things we regret. Growth comes from learning from our mistakes, recognizing when we’re wrong, and moving forward.
I love that this is the final track on Cross Me Twice. It doesn’t leave on a positive or negative note—it leaves the future open with possibilities, just like our journey as a band.”
🔥 Cross Me Twice – Out March 28th!
💿 Tracklist: 1️⃣ Sellout 2️⃣ Wildfires 3️⃣ Throwback 4️⃣ Fever Dream 5️⃣ Invisible 6️⃣ On Repeat 7️⃣ Masquerade Parade 8️⃣ In This Carousel 9️⃣ Here Come All The Memories 🔟 Follow Me
From the creative minds of Vicky “Killer V” Psarakis (ex-The Agonist) and Rob The Ripper (Stuck Mojo), SICKSENSE is redefining nu-metal with a fresh, high-energy approach.

🎵 Listen to previous singles:Wildfires, On Repeat, Masquerade Parade, and In This Carousel.
Killer V on Cross Me Twice:
“Cross Me Twice takes listeners on an emotional rollercoaster. We’ve evolved from our traditional nu-metal roots by incorporating modern metal and electronic elements. The heavy parts got heavier, the soft parts got softer, and the catchy parts got catchier.
We faced challenges while making this album, parting ways with former members and bringing in new ones. Those struggles inspired the lyrics, making this our most personal and powerful record yet.
Working with producer Joey Doherty elevated the record’s sound to the next level, and we believe this will be one of the best-sounding albums of 2025. We poured our hearts into this, and we hope it resonates with our fans just as much as it does with us.”

Industrial music legends KMFDM are set to unleash a remastered 2025 re-release of their classic album Hau Ruck, bringing fresh power and intensity to the groundbreaking 2005 record. This reissue will be available on a high-fidelity 45rpm 2-LP vinyl and CD, ensuring fans can experience the album’s crushing industrial beats and razor-sharp lyricism like never before.
To mark the occasion, KMFDM is also dropping an exclusive commemorative T-shirt, celebrating this milestone release—so don’t sleep on it! Once it’s gone, it’s gone!
Founded in 1984 by Sascha Konietzko, KMFDM (Kein Mehrheit Für Die Mitleid) has been a driving force in the industrial rock and electronic body music (EBM) movements for four decades. Known for their signature fusion of hard-hitting beats, aggressive guitars, and politically charged lyrics, KMFDM has influenced countless bands in the realms of industrial, metal, and electronic music.
From their early experimental sounds in Germany’s underground scene to their rise in global prominence, KMFDM’s relentless work ethic and bold sonic identity have kept them at the forefront of heavy electronic music. With albums like “Naïve” (1990), “Angst” (1993), “Nihil” (1995), and “Xtort” (1996), the band pioneered a style that blended pounding electronic rhythms with razor-sharp riffs and biting social commentary.
KMFDM’s ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to their signature ultra-heavy beat has made them an enduring force in the industrial scene. Their fans—often known as the KMFDM Army—have stood by the band through every evolution, keeping their legacy alive in clubs, live shows, and underground playlists worldwide.
The Impact of “Hau Ruck”
Originally released in 2005, “Hau Ruck” marked a new era for KMFDM. The album introduced a heavier, more guitar-driven sound, incorporating elements of industrial metal and hard rock while still retaining the electronic backbone that made KMFDM famous. Tracks like “Free Your Hate,” “Professional Killer,” and the title track “Hau Ruck” delivered a crushing sonic assault, filled with rebellious energy and anti-authoritarian themes.
Now, with the 2025 remastered edition, the album is set to sound bigger, bolder, and even more explosive than ever before. Fans old and new will get to experience “Hau Ruck” in stunning high-definition audio, ensuring every beat, riff, and lyric punches through with maximum impact.

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.

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.
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

Standard CD Single

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.

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.”

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.
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.”
ALLEGAEON Hits the Road with Warbringer for The Vortex of Violence Tour 🎤🔥
Starting March 18th, 2025, ALLEGAEON will co-headline North America with WARBRINGER, alongside Skeletal Remains and Summoning The Lich. The 26-date tour will take the bands across the US and Canada, wrapping up on April 12th in Los Angeles, CA.
The Ossuary Lens: A Monumental Return for ALLEGAEON 🎶⚡
Produced by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio in Denver, The Ossuary Lens promises to be a career-defining record for ALLEGAEON. Consequence raves about its “brutal intensity and progressive sophistication,” while MetalSucks calls it “a relentless masterclass in technical death metal.”

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.

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.

🔻 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.

“Prophecy” – A Nightmarish Fusion of Synthwave & Metal 💀⚡
GOST’s latest album, “Prophecy”, is out now on Metal Blade Records and has already made a massive impact, landing multiple Billboard chart positions: 🏆 #1 Electronic Albums 🏆 #14 Current Hard Rock Albums 🏆 #20 Top New Artist Albums
Blending darkwave, industrial, and black metal, GOST’s sonic world is as eerie as it is electrifying. The Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer has been a genre-defying force since the release of “Radio Macabre” (2013) and “Skull” (2013). Prophecy marks a return to the project’s harsher and more aggressive roots, delivering a relentless assault of pounding synth-driven brutality.
🔥 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.”
