From ’80s synthpop to darkwave and alt-rock, Corlyx continue to bend genres and expectations. Fronted by the magnetic Caitlin Stokes, joined by producer/guitarist Brandon Ashley and bassist Davide Rocco, the band splits their time between the UK and Italy, crafting a sound that resonates across continents.

Following high-profile tours alongside Blutengel, Twin Tribes, Unzucht, and collaborations with scene icons like Lord Of The Lost, Massive Ego, and Ashbury Heights, Corlyx’s influence only continues to grow. Their bold vision reached a fever pitch with Purple Pain, their third studio album—a fearless journey through post-punk decay and dreamlike sonic architecture.

🖤 Recently seen storming the stage at Wave-Gotik-Treffen (DE), Corlyx are already gearing up to mesmerize fans again at M’era Luna Festival (DE) later this year.

🔥 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:

Arimea Releases Music Video for ‘Orchid Street’

Oxford-based nu-metal band Arimea has unveiled the official music video for their latest single, Orchid Street, the title track from their debut EP, which is now available.

Drummer Richard Stedman reflects on the track’s personal significance:
“‘Orchid Street’ feels like coming home. Musically, it’s a place I’ve sought for years, navigating countless genres and styles without losing our unique voice. For me, it encapsulates my childhood memories but reshaped for the real world—authentic, emotionally raw, and confident in its identity.”

Watch the official music video for ‘Orchid Street’:

A Fresh Take on Nu-Metal
The Orchid Street EP showcases Arimea’s refreshingly raw nu-metal style—a nostalgic yet innovative record. Bassist Joe Landles describes the band’s creative evolution:
“Sharing something that feels authentically us is incredibly powerful. With previous releases, we played it safe, sticking to conventions. But this EP breaks boundaries, showing we’re unafraid to take risks. We want listeners to instantly recognize Arimea when they hear us, not just blend into the alternative or metal scene.”

Blending elements from the early 2000s nu-metal greats like Flyleaf, P.O.D., Deftones, and Mudvayne, Arimea injects their sound with modern alt-metal dynamics, progressive touches, and even hints of hardcore and hip-hop. Drawing inspiration from bands like Limp Bizkit, Slipknot, and Linkin Park, Arimea’s Orchid Street EP delivers a sound that’s equal parts nostalgic and groundbreaking.

From Humble Beginnings to Post-Pandemic Charge
Formed in the aftermath of the pandemic, Arimea worked with acclaimed producer MACHINE, whose portfolio includes heavyweights like Suicide Silence, Coal Chamber, and Lamb of God, to refine their distinctive sound.
