Flint, Michigan’s most notorious heavy outfit King 810 have unleashed their latest single “I Don’t Mind”, another brutal preview of their upcoming record Rustbelt Numetal 2, set for release on October 31, 2025.
🩸 Raw Violence Meets Vulnerability
“I Don’t Mind” continues King 810’s uncompromising tradition of fusing crushing nu-metal riffs with David Gunn’s visceral, narrative-driven vocal delivery. The track balances moments of raw aggression with hauntingly melodic undertones, showing once again why the band is both feared and revered within the modern metal scene.
🏭 Forged in the Rustbelt
Like its predecessor, Rustbelt Numetal 2 was recorded in a single day in front of a live studio audience of just 45 people, capturing the unfiltered chaos, immediacy, and street-born energy that defines King 810. The new record promises to dive even deeper into the band’s gritty storytelling and industrial Midwest atmosphere, amplifying their reputation as one of the most dangerous and authentic acts in heavy music.

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.
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.”

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.”

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.

Cultus Black, a name whispered in awe, transcends the ordinary confines of a band. They are a collective, a movement, where fans, collaborators, and artisans unite under a cloak of anonymity, allowing their art to resound with primal, unfiltered truth.
For the enigmatic figures behind Cultus Black, music was not merely a passion but a lifeline amidst the tumultuous currents of adolescence. In the shadows of societal misunderstanding, the likes of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson became beacons of empowerment, guiding this solitary soul towards a destiny woven in sonic rebellion.

Though mastery eludes their grasp, the echoes of NIN, Deftones, and Slipknot reverberate within their souls, guiding their hand in the creation of sonic tapestries. Yet, it is the ethereal specter of David Bowie that imbues their artistry with an ineffable allure, a beacon of boundless creativity.
