🔥 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.

MARES OF THRACE Unleash Ferocious New Single “Anticipatory Grief” Ahead of New Album The Loss

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.

Listen to “Anticipatory Grief”

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.

Pre-order The Loss now via Bandcamp

🎧 Stream “Anticipatory Grief”

💿 About The Loss

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.

🔥 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.
