“Driving, psychedelic-pop, the pumping electronics blend perfectly with the wonderful guitar work.” – Handwritten Mag
The Legendary Pink Dots began work on So Lonely in Heaven during the global pandemic, writing collaboratively across continents and cyberspace. The album explores themes of technology, humanity, and isolation in a world increasingly dominated by machines.
Frontman Edward Ka-Spel reflects:
“The machine sees everything, hears everything, knows everything… It’s an invitation from Heaven, where anyone can be anything they want to be, but it’s a Nation of One. You’ll be everything we are. You’ll be desperate for some kind of explanation. You’ll be lonely. So very lonely….”
The Legendary Pink Dots will be embarking on a European tour starting January 29, 2025, to promote So Lonely in Heaven.

Swedish industrial rock powerhouse MORLOCKS kick off 2025 with the release of their brand-new EP, Amor, Monstra Et Horrore Profundi, available today, January 10, 2025, via Metropolis Records. This ambitious five-track offering blends industrial rock, neo-classical, darkwave, and metal into a bold and cinematic sound.

The EP features five tracks, including reimagined versions of rare gems and iconic covers:
Formed in Gothenburg, Sweden, in the early ’90s by J. Strauss, MORLOCKS has evolved from a guitar-driven electronic rock sound into a grand industrial symphonic powerhouse. The addition of Innocentius Rabiatus (Andreas Wandegren of Dark Side Cowboys) in 2003 saw the group lean into heavier industrial rock influences, culminating in their celebrated 2011 album The Outlaw of Fives.
Notable collaborations include working with KMFDM’s Sascha Konietzko, dark ambient electro artist Karin My, and black metal vocalist Heljarmadr (Grá/Dark Funeral). Their most recent full-length release, Praise The Iconoclast, was hailed as a masterpiece in the industrial and darkwave scene.

This afternoon, the holy ground for heavy music, the sacred space for metal heads, saw the beginning of another glorious chapter for one of the brightest modern metal stars to date. Swedish six-piece AMARANTHE announced the release of their upcoming album The Catalyst live on stage after their bedazzling performance on Wacken’s main stage.
“So at last it is official! This has been a long time in the making, and more effort went into this album than any previous AMARANTHE record. You have already gotten a taste of what’s to come on Damnation Flame, but as the most varied and eclectic AMARANTHE album to date, expect the unexpected! We cover a lot of musical ground on ‘The Catalyst,’ but the core of what we are about creatively is completely intact. It will be immediately obvious that you are listening to AMARANTHE, as much as it will be immediately obvious that this is both a leap forward as well as a step up. Can’t wait for all of you to hear what we have been cooking, as well as seeing us perform these pristine new songs on the road SOON!”, guitar player Olof Mörck states about this moment.
The Catalyst will see the light of day on February 23rd, 2024, via Nuclear Blast Records. The album will be available digitally and in different physical formats including CD, Vinyl, and a 2CD Special Edition.

The Catalyst is the most conceptually coherent piece of work in AMARANTHE’s storied history. Dedicated to notions of transformation and revelation, it delves deeper than any previous album, as Olof Mörck explains.
“We’ve done these things before, but we’ve never been as theatrical as we have this time,” Mörck grins. “In fact, we all questioned whether we went too far this time, but I also figured that this band was always this way. Literally, the first seconds of our first video was a big explosion! But yes, The Catalyst is more theatrical than ever. We’ve never really been symphonic or orchestral before, but this time we just thought why not? Because we can! The key to this album is that we let go of the boundaries and decided to do something even more adventurous.”
The Catalyst represents the culmination of 15 years of hard work and the breathless pursuit of a wholly original musical vision. Change is inevitable. Victory is assured.

Formed in 2008, AMARANTHE walked their own unique path from the start. With a sound that combined the sharpest, cutting edges of melodic metal, electronic rock, and razor-sharp pop, their impact was immediate and undeniable. Kicking off with their self-titled debut in 2011, the Swedes blazed a trail through the European metal scene and beyond, swiftly establishing themselves as a dazzling one-off, not least due to the unprecedented triple vocal attack that paired clean tones with exquisite melodic sensibilities and feral growls. Over the next few years, the sextet steadily grew in stature, releasing a series of praised studio records that jabbed persistently at the boundaries of modern metal.
