💀 LOWLIFE RISES FROM THE WEST COAST UNDERGROUND 💀

Los Angeles heavy hitters Fatalist return with a punishing new visual statement that drags modern metalcore back into the gutter — and dares you to sit with it.

Released just 14 hours ago, LOWLIFE marks the latest chapter in the evolving sonic identity of Fatalist, a project that continues to blur the lines between nu-core aggression, modern metal brutality, and raw emotional confrontation.

There’s no polish-for-radio here. LOWLIFE hits like a clenched jaw and a swinging fist — intentional, uncomfortable, and unapologetically real.

⚠️ A VIDEO THAT STARES BACK

The official music video for LOWLIFE doesn’t just accompany the track — it amplifies it. Shot with a stripped-down, confrontational visual style, the video places the viewer face-to-face with the band’s raw intensity. Stark lighting, claustrophobic framing, and chaotic performance energy combine to mirror the song’s internal tension.

This isn’t escapism. It’s confrontation.

The visuals feel grounded in the same emotional weight as the music — a reflection of frustration, self-awareness, and the grind of existing at the margins. Every frame reinforces the feeling that LOWLIFE isn’t a character — it’s a mirror.

🔥 LOS ANGELES DNA, NO COMPROMISE

Forged in Los Angeles, California, Fatalist channels the city’s volatile underground energy into a sound that feels both modern and feral. This is music born from concrete, sweat-soaked rooms, and the pressure of a scene that doesn’t hand anything out for free.

LOWLIFE continues the band’s trajectory of releases that prioritize impact over comfort, proving Fatalist isn’t chasing trends — they’re documenting a state of mind shaped by survival, grit, and defiance.

💀 The Browning Ascend to the Next Level with “EVOLVE” — A Relentless New Single via FiXT

🔥 The fusion of metal and electronic music has a new apex predator — The Browning have dropped their latest single, “EVOLVE,” through FiXT, and it’s a brutal showcase of human endurance, transformation, and defiance against stagnation. Fronted by visionary Jonny McBee, the track represents a continuation of The Browning’s signature cyber-metal hybrid, pushing their aggressive sound to new, futuristic heights.

💥 “EVOLVE” hits with mechanical precision — blending deathcore breakdowns, industrial pulse, and apocalyptic synths that mirror both the chaos and promise of modern existence. Lyrically, the song captures the struggle to grow in a collapsing world, reminding listeners that pain and persistence are catalysts for true evolution. It’s not just a single — it’s an anthem for anyone refusing to stay static in the face of destruction.

🎧 Produced and engineered by McBee himself, the track balances machine-like brutality with cinematic atmosphere, creating a soundscape that’s both punishing and uplifting. Longtime fans will recognize The Browning’s unmistakable energy, but “EVOLVE” also signals a sharper, more refined sonic direction that could define their next era.

🔥 Since their 2011 debut Burn This World, The Browning have remained a force in the industrial metal scene, uniting EDM, hardcore, and cyberpunk aesthetics into something uniquely their own. “EVOLVE” reaffirms their legacy — and hints at a possible new album that could take their sound even deeper into the digital abyss.

🎶 Listen Now: EVOLVE (Single) by The Browning — available now on all major streaming platforms.

GATES TO HELL Drops New Single ‘Disfigured’ Ahead of Fall Tour Dates


Louisville natives GATES TO HELL are back with a new digital single, “Disfigured.” The track is a brutally heavy, all-killer-no-filler song—essentially one long, punishing breakdown. The single is a B-side from the band’s recent album, Death Comes to All, which was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Randy LeBoeuf.

The band comments that they wrote the track a few years ago and decided to release it now to coincide with their upcoming tour with Dying Fetus. They recall playing it on a 2023 tour where it got the crowd moving every night, and they’re excited to finally have it out for the world to hear.

Starting on September 20th, GATES TO HELL will embark on a 24-day trek that includes performances at the New England Metal & Hardcore Fest and Louder Than Life. They will also join headliners Dying Fetus on their ‘Into The Cesspool’ US/Canadian 2025 tour with Mugshot. Following the tour, the band will wrap up the year with a show in Albany, New York, before kicking off a run in Europe with Sanguisugabogg, Fulci, and Celestial Sanctuary in the new year.

The band’s recent album, Death Comes to All, was fueled by youthful ambition and a sharp creative focus, with producer Randy LeBoeuf elevating their sound to new heights. The album’s artwork, crafted by WYRMWALK, offers a fitting representation of the blood-soaked dread and suffocating darkness within the music. The album is available in multiple formats, including CD and various vinyl pressings.

⛓️🔥 MUGSHOT Blasts Celebrity Culture with Crushing New Single “Next To Your Idols”! New Album “All The Devils Are Here” Arrives June 20th! 🎧💀

San Jose metalcore/hardcore juggernaut MUGSHOT has unleashed their second blistering single, “Next To Your Idols,” from their highly anticipated sophomore album, “All The Devils Are Here,” set to detonate on June 20th via Pure Noise Records. This track is a furious indictment of celebrity worship and the disturbing trend of idolizing those who abuse their power and platform.

“‘Next To Your Idols’ is a critique on celebrity culture and the adornment of those who use their platform to mistreat or take advantage of others,” the band states with righteous anger. “It’s an indictment on Hollywood and the manipulation that surrounds it and similar circles.” The track delivers this message with MUGSHOT’s signature blend of brutal metalcore and hardcore intensity, a sonic battering ram aimed squarely at the toxic underbelly of fame.

“All The Devils Are Here,” a massive 12-track record produced by Randy Leboeuf (known for his work with Kublai Kahn, The Acacia Strain, Gideon, and Bad Omens), marks a significant new chapter for MUGSHOT. Following their hard-hitting 2023 EP, “Cold Will,” and nearly a decade after their acclaimed full-length debut, “Dull Boy,” this album sees vocalist Ringo Waterman, guitarist Michael Demko, drummer Connor Haines, and bassist Ciro Abraham locked into a devastatingly brutal groove. Their sound is a violent storm, a relentless collision of metal and hardcore influences. The album also features the previously released sonic assaults “Vale of Tears,” “Die In Fear,” and “Afore A Waking Nightmare,” all hinting at the sheer rage contained within.

Regarding the new album, the band comments: “This album is the most collaborative we have ever been as a band, every person had a major hand in creating whether that be musically, lyrically or both. It’s also the first album we haven’t self produced and having Randy Leboeuf on board was so invaluable, he really felt like a 5th member. Lyrically this is the most personal and pissed off we have ever been and we think everyone will be able to connect with many tracks on this record.”

MUGSHOT will be taking their sonic fury on the road all summer long in support of “All The Devils Are Here,” including performances at major festivals like Welcome To Rockville and Louder Than Life. Tickets are available now at https://mugshotca.com/.

SICKSENSE Unleashes New Single ‘Follow Me’ 🎤🔥

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.

🔊 Stream “Follow Me”: https://earache.lnk.to/FollowMe
🎥 Watch the “Follow Me” Music Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ht1VWbWfods
💿 Pre-Order Cross Me Twice: http://tinyurl.com/SicksenseStoreUS

🎤 SICKSENSE on “Follow Me”

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. Featuring Agent Phil (guitar), The Gothfather (bass), and Smokin’ J (drums), the band fuses nu-metal, metalcore, and electronic elements to create a genre-defying sound.

🎵 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.”
