WHAT IF YOU’RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY? 🤔
Let’s be real for a moment: this whole “pursuit of happiness” thing is getting a tad annoying, right? 🙄 Happiness is everywhere! Instagram reels screaming about “highest vibrations,” ads promising happiness through protein powder and coffin-shaped lamps, and podcasts titled “How To Finally Be Happy (And Make Millions…).” 💸🛋️💊✨ And honestly, does it really work? Not for many, even those who are financially stable and healthy. 🤷♂️ So, the thought arises: what if you’re not supposed to be happy all the time? 🤔 What if that was never the point? 🎯 What if this modern obsession with constant happiness is just another marketing scheme for a life that doesn’t actually exist? 🛍️
Broken GPS 🧭
When Faderhead was 25, the goal was a record deal. ✍️ Got it. Then, it was people at shows. 🚶♂️ Got that too. Then, people singing along. 🎤 Check. And guess what? Faderhead was still the same moody, overthinking, slightly-depressed, alcohol-fueled dude with endless half-finished projects and a mix of genius/garbage ideas. 🤷♂️🍺📝 Happiness, it turned out, was a moving target – and Faderhead was chasing it with a faulty GPS. 😵💫
The Alternative 🕊️
What if peace is better than happiness? 😌 What if “content” is better than “ecstatic”? 😊 What if waking up without dread and sleeping with a calm mind is the real win? 🏆 A few weeks ago, someone much younger asked, “Are you happy?” 🤔 Faderhead’s answer: “No. But I’m at peace with most things. And I’m doing stuff that matters to me.” 🙏 Maybe that quieter space, where work feels meaningful and the mind isn’t at war, is the real destination. 🧘 Getting older helps with this perspective. 👴 At 20, it’s all about “more.” ➕ More stuff, more success, more experiences, more “likes.” 👍 Approaching 50, “less” starts to look like freedom. ➖ Less chaos, less drama, less noise, less bullshit. 🚫 Suddenly, quiet moments, close friends, and doing your own thing without external validation become more appealing. 🤫🤝 And somehow, that feels… good. Solid. Real. A quiet kind of content. 💯
What’s The Goal Then? ➡️
So yeah, maybe you’re not supposed to be happy all the time. 🤔 Maybe you’re supposed to be useful. 🛠️ Maybe you’re supposed to grow through pain instead of avoiding it. 🌱 Maybe life isn’t a 24/7 Disneyland ride, but a well-built road that gets you where you need to go, even if it’s bumpy. 🛣️ And maybe, just maybe, you’re doing better than you think. ❤️ Now stop scrolling for happiness and go do something that actually matters to you. ✨
TesseracT are landing back in North America this week for a string of tour dates! 🎸 But that’s not all – they’re also announcing an exclusive premiere screening of their ‘Live at Radar’ performance! 🔥
EXCLUSIVE SCREENING, Q&A & MEET & GREET IN BROOKLYN, NY ON MAY 8TH – ONLY 60 TICKETS AVAILABLE! 🎟️
TesseracT proudly present the premiere screening of ‘Live at Radar’ – their full headline performance filmed at Radar Festival 2024 – taking place at Nitehawk Williamsburg in Brooklyn, NY on Thursday, May 8th! 🌃
Presented in collaboration with Metal Injection 🤘, this exclusive screening offers fans a sneak peek at the show before its wider release via streaming and Blu-ray in late 2025. This special event aligns with TesseracT’s 2025 U.S. tour, which includes dates across North America and select performances with Devin Townsend.
Following the screening, attendees are invited to a Q&A and meet-and-greet with the band, where each person will receive a signed, personalized souvenir print! ✍️
TESSERACT ‘LIVE AT RADAR’ PREMIERE SCREENING VIP EVENTTICKET PRICE: $100 – LIMITED TO 60 TICKETS TIME: 18:30 – 22:30, Thursday May 8th VENUE: NITEHAWK WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN NY
Speaking about the upcoming event, TesseracT songwriter and bassist Amos Williams shared: “Radar was a huge event for us. It felt like the culmination of not just TesseracT’s ambition, but also Radar Festival’s vision. Drawing from not only War Of Being, but also our entire back catalogue, we had such a great time exploring and expanding upon these songs, aided by the phenomenal Choir Noir. Their involvement allowed us to bring an extra dimension to the show unlike anything we have ever experienced before. To then have our longtime collaborator Richard Oakes from Dark Fable Media there to film and produce the resulting movie was perfect. So we are once again privileged to bring this film to a cinema for the North American premiere, for our friends in the US to enjoy along with us. Radar is a step up for TesseracT, and a small hint at the journey that lies before us.”
North America shows with Devin Townsend: May 2 – Nashville, TN – Marathon Music Works May 3 – Atlanta, GA – Tabernacle May 4 – Lake Buena Vista, FL – House of Blues (Orlando) May 6 – Cincinnati, OH – Bogart’s May 7 – Raleigh, NC – The Ritz May 9 – New York, NY – Palladium Times Square May 10 – Silver Spring, MD – The Fillmore Silver Spring May 11 – Boston, MA – House of Blues May 13 – Montreal, QC – MTELUS May 14 – Toronto, ON – Queen Elizabeth Theatre May 16 – Detroit, MI – Masonic Cathedral Theatre May 19 – Dallas, TX – Granada Theatre May 21 – Denver, CO – Ogden Theatre May 23 – Los Angeles, CA – The Wiltern

🎂 Simon Carter Celebrates Birthday with Experimental EP “Arrival”! 🚀
Today is Simon Carter’s birthday, and it’s one of those special ones ending in a ‘0’! 🎉 To thank you for all the incredible support you’ve shown Simon Carter and his projects over the years, Simon Carter wanted to share another free (or pay what you want) release. This one’s a bit different and might not be for everyone, but here are the details:
‘This experimental EP aims to capture the emotions of an epic filmesque electronic sci-fi soundscape. With expansive melodies combined with subtle hints of techno and trance throughout, it’s the perfect soundtrack to explore uncharted frontiers.’ 🌌
Today, three epic forces collide: Diablo®, the legendary Action RPG; Berserk, the iconic manga by Kentaro Miura; and Finnish heavy metal band BEAST IN BLACK! 🤘 They’ve joined forces to unleash ‘Enter The Behelit,’ an exclusive new track! 🎶 The song is available on limited-edition vinyl and digitally worldwide, accompanied by a brand-new music video! 🎬
The Berserk crossover event begins in Diablo® IV on May 6th and in Diablo Immortal on May 1st. Both Diablo and Berserk explore the eternal struggle between good and evil, making this a perfect match for fans! 😈
The Maxi Single 💿
The limited-edition maxi single includes ‘Enter The Behelit,’ a brand-new track inspired by Berserk, plus remastered versions of ‘Die By The Blade’ and ‘The Fifth Angel.’ Beast In Black’s music often mirrors Berserk’s themes of struggle and battling inner demons, a perfect fit for the Diablo universe.
Limited to 200 copies, the vinyl features artwork from Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal, created in collaboration with the Diablo art team and the Berserk IP holders. It also includes a turntable zoetrope slipmat, band stickers, behind-the-scenes photos, and concept art.
“The essence that swells in boundless volumes from the juxtaposition of light and darkness, angels and demons, good and evil, the carnal and the spiritual, is the key that seamlessly binds together the aesthetics and narratives of Diablo, Berserk and Beast In Black’’, said Anton Kabanen, guitarist and songwriter on BEAST IN BLACK.
“To somewhat poetically reflect on this extraordinary yet congruous collaboration I can say it feels almost as if this newborn and destined-to-be trinity has been designed by the God Hand itself. On behalf of Beast In Black’s team I express our sincerest gratitude to the dedicated teams at Blizzard, Berserk and Nuclear Blast. Thank you for making this happen. And finally, my individual acknowledgement and bottomless gratitude goes – as always – to Kentaro Miura’’.
The track is digitally distributed by Nuclear Blast.
The Music Video 🎥
The ‘Enter The Behelit’ music video, directed by Katri Ilona Koppanen, blends the worlds of Diablo, Berserk, and Beast In Black. It features an animated trailer inspired by Diablo and Berserk, bringing the song’s story to life.
A behind-the-scenes “making of” video will also be released.
Berserk Crossover in Diablo Games 🎮
Diablo IV Season 8: Belial’s Return launches on April 29th, bringing back Belial and continuing Diablo’s dark storyline.
Throughout May, Diablo players can acquire Berserk-themed cosmetics, including Berserker armour for the Barbarian, a Skull Knight skin for the Necromancer, and the “Chimimoryo” pet in Diablo IV. Diablo Immortal players can gear up in Guts’ or Griffith’s armour, fight alongside a Golem, and even face off against Nosferatu Zodd.

This masterpiece of modern metal masterfully combines melodic death metal with Celtic traditions. Eluveitie will hit the road again with Arch Enemy, Amorphis & Gatecreeper in October 2025. All dates are listed below. 📅
Eluveitie commented: “And along comes – on this special day – our brand new single and video clip off ANV: TARANOÍAS! It’s the opening track of the album and pretty much wrapping up the entire essence on which the album is based in one single song! It’s quite a hard and dark track and surely one of these roller-coaster-feeling songs, like “Rebirth” or “Aidus”, for instance. What we’ve tried when writing this track is to create a song that in itself becomes some kind of a dark entity that comes upon you with the first note of it! Enjoy the ride!”

ELUVEITIE:
ELUVEITIE, formed in 2002 by Chrigel Glanzmann, has consistently merged modern metal with Celtic musical traditions. Originating from the Swiss Alps and deeply rooted in Celtic history, mythology, and spirituality, the band has become a cornerstone of the modern metal scene. Their debut, Vên (2004), set the stage for a unique blend of melodic death metal and traditional folk. Subsequent albums like Slania, Everything Remains (As It Never Was), Helvetios, and Origins solidified their reputation. The acoustic albums Evocation I – The Arcane Dominion and Evocation II – Pantheon showcased their versatility.
In 2022, ELUVEITIE released the singles ‘Aidus’ and ‘Exile of the Gods,’ marking a new chapter in their musical journey and thematical cycle pursuing the lyrical concept opened by their last studio album Ategnatos. These tracks were followed by the announcement of their upcoming album, ÀNV, set for release in April 2025. The first single sfrom this album, ‘Premonition’, and ‘The Prodigal Ones’ has just been unveiled, offering a glimpse into the band’s evolving sound.
Over the years, ELUVEITIE has undergone lineup changes, including their latest addition with Lea-Sophie Fischer on violin in May 2024. Despite these changes, the band’s essence and soul remains untouched. With nine studio albums, numerous tours all around the globe, and headline shows worldwide, ELUVEITIE continues to be a dynamic force in the metal genre.
As they approach the release of ÀNV, ELUVEITIE remains committed to their roots while exploring new musical horizons. Coming as one of their most profound and earnest albums, ÀNV presents a result of more than 20 years of intense involvement with Celtic mythology and spirituality, translating deeply pagan knowledge for a modern generation. ELUVEITIE’s journey reflects a dedication to authenticity and innovation, ensuring their place as a defining presence in modern metal.

New Single/Video, “A Dream About Starving To Death,” Streaming Now
From the shadowy crypts of New York comes the malevolent new band, BLOOD VULTURE. Created by Jordan Old (2 Minutes To Late Night), this gothic sludge metal entity lures listeners in with a mesmerizing blend of romanticism, metallic vibes, and brutal reckoning on their debut album, Die Close, which will be released on June 27th via Pure Noise Records.
Today, BLOOD VULTURE reveals the video for their first single, “A Dream About Starving To Death.” Jordan Olds comments on the track:
“’A Dream About Starving To Death’ is a song I wrote about a vampire who realizes he is about to watch the world end. He has lived past the extinction of humanity and lost count of how many days he has been hungry, and he realizes that soon there won’t be an earth anymore. He’s not sure whether it will explode or just rot and crumble, and he’s curious about whether he’ll disintegrate or just float forever in space.
The music video was inspired by the “Freddy coming through the wall” scene from “A Nightmare On Elm Street.” I then built it around a sleep paralysis narrative and had a lot of fun creating a Gullermo Del Toro style Hat Man and a goopy void reminiscent of Aliens and the symbiote from Spiderman alongside one of my main visual collaborators for this project, Kelly Harris. She also built and designed “Montague” the puppet from the “Blood Vault” segment at the beginning of the video. She’s a genius.”
Deep in the heart of a dark, mythical land (New York) in a bygone era (2025), BLOOD VULTURE has awakened ominous, morose tales of mortality, grief, madness and obsession. The self-described “Gothic sludge” project is the brainchild of Jordan Olds (Two Minutes to Late Night.) On his debut LP, DIE CLOSE (Pure Noise), Olds melds the emotive vocal stylings of grunge’s golden era with death metal, goth rock, and doom metal through a vampiric lens. The album tells the story of a reclusive vampire long locked away as he grapples with what it means to live forever in a world of impermanence. Blood Vulture’s songs are deeply personal, filtering real life ruminations through fantastical set pieces as tracks like “A Dream About Starving To Death” and the three-part “Die Close” suite ask: What good is immortality if there’s no one to share it with? What’s the true cost of isolation?

One Assassination Under God – Chapter 1 Tracklist:
Brace yourself for a descent into digital decay and emotional warfare. UNTER NULL, the infamous aggrotech/industrial force forged in fire and feedback, joins EVOL Radio for a live interview that cuts deep into the circuitry of creation, collapse, and rebirth. 🖤
🎙️ From raw sonic brutality to the quiet spaces between chaos, Erica Dunham opens up about the return of Unter Null, the future of harsh electronics, and the ghosts that still whisper behind the beats.
Step into a realm where apocalyptic sermons and celestial incantations collide—“Fall Damage” is here. Out now via darkTunes Music Group, this hypnotic collaboration unites CIRCUIT PREACHER, enigmatic leader of the Church of the Final Days, and CZARINA, the mystical High Priestess of the Coast of Death, for a spellbinding dive into gothic elegance and cinematic intensity.
With CZARINA’s haunting, ethereal vocals weaving through CIRCUIT PREACHER’s fiery proclamations of inner strength, “Fall Damage” creates a soundscape that is as emotionally transcendent as it is sonically immense. Orchestral darkwave, gothic synths, and brooding industrial rhythms merge into a track that feels like the soundtrack to a dream collapsing into starlight.
“Fall Damage” isn’t just a song—it’s a portal. 💫 A sweeping score for shadow travelers. 🕯️ A love letter to resilience in the face of chaos.
💎 Rarely do two singular forces align this perfectly—“Fall Damage” is the glorious result of such a union. A must-listen for fans of gothic electro, ethereal industrial, and dark cinematic soundscapes.
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.”
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.

Canadian sludge-noise duo Mares of Thrace are back with another crushing chapter in their journey through sorrow and sonic chaos. Their latest single, “Anticipatory Grief,” is out now, offering a raw and relentless preview of their upcoming full-length record The Loss, due out May 16 via Artoffact Records.
The third track to emerge from The Loss, “Anticipatory Grief” erupts with an ominous guitar riff that spirals into crushing distortion. Thérèse Lanz delivers a feral vocal performance that feels like a cathartic exorcism, while drummer Casey Rodgers smashes forward with thunderous precision. Together, they create a suffocating wall of sound steeped in dread, anxiety, and inevitability.
Lanz explains the meaning behind the song:
“The songs on The Loss follow the sequence of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ famous stages of grief, but in my reading I found descriptions of very specific flavors of grief that often go unacknowledged—bonus grief, if you will. Anticipatory Grief is the pain of watching loss creep slowly toward you, knowing it’s coming, and feeling helpless in that long descent.”
Following their previous release, Complicated Grief, this new single continues the band’s emotional excavation through the psychological terrain of mourning and survival. Gritty, visceral, and unapologetically dark, “Anticipatory Grief” is more than a song—it’s a confrontation with pain.
Produced by Scott Evans (Sumac, Sleep, Yautja), The Loss is the band’s fourth full-length and most personal release to date. A thematic reflection on the complex stages of grief, each track dives deeper into human vulnerability and strength. It’s an unflinching gaze into mortality, transformation, and the universality of emotional wreckage.
🔥 About Mares of Thrace
Formed in Canada, Mares of Thrace fuse sludge, doom, noise rock, and hardcore into a pulverizing sound that defies easy categorization. Frontwoman Thérèse Lanz (hailed as “an unrivalled monster of a frontperson” by Exclaim!), and drummer Casey Rodgers (also known for stepping in for Gene Hoglan in Zimmer’s Hole) bring a devastating presence to both stage and studio.
After re-emerging in 2022 with The Exile, the band toured extensively across North America and Europe with heavyweights like Conan, Bell Witch, and KEN mode, all while earning critical acclaim. Now signed to Artoffact Records (Kaelan Mikla, GGGOLDDD), their upcoming album marks their most ambitious evolution yet.
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.
“‘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.

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.
Louisville’s harbingers of brutality, GATES TO HELL, have arrived with their long-awaited full-length release, Death Comes To All — a ferocious and unrelenting slab of molten death metalcore now unleashed upon the world via Nuclear Blast Records. 💀🔥
To mark the occasion, the band has also dropped a stunningly aggressive video for the fan-favorite “21 Sacraments,” inspired by the twisted lore of the Silent Hill game series. Directed and edited by Errick Easterday, the clip drips with horror aesthetics and iconic visuals that elevate the song’s sheer intensity. 💀📺
💬 The band shares: “We are beyond stoked for Death Comes To All to finally be in your hands. We put everything into this record, and working with Randy LeBoeuf brought our sound to new depths. Huge thanks to Nuclear Blast and all the maniacs who’ve been streaming and pre-ordering. Now it’s time to hit the stage and raise hell.”
Recorded with Randy LeBoeuf, this record rips open the floodgates of sheer sonic annihilation. The art, created by WYRMWALK, visually channels the nightmarish dread echoed in every track.
