“Same Old Song” starts with Wolfgang waking up from a dream and realizing things are back to normal as the band rehearses the new song. Directed by JT Ibanez, the video shows Mammoth depicting their trademark live-performance style that they have come to be known for. 

San Francisco punks Spiritual Cramp return with their sophomore album RUDE, expanding their kaleidoscopic punk sound. The band pairs the release with a video for ‘You’ve Got My Number’ featuring Sharon Van Etten. “A lot of these songs are about keeping your side of the street clean,” says vocalist Mike Bingham.

Five Finger Death Punch celebrate 20 years with Best Of – Volume 2, featuring 16 re-recorded hits, three live tracks, and their new single ‘The End’ featuring BABYMETAL—the first song with Japanese lyrics to break into U.S. Active Rock radio. Following Volume 1, both collections reimagine fan favourites and pay tribute to two decades of 5FDP’s legacy.

Soulfly’s Chama is their fiercest work yet — a 10-track storm of groove, tribal percussion and unflinching socio-political fire. Burning with ferocity and soul, it channels Indigenous struggles, favela life and Brazil’s resilience, standing as both a war cry for the dispossessed and a love letter to survival, with fury tempered by reflection.

‘Simulacra’ lands as Bad Juju’s darkest, most polished release yet — all bite and distortion with a pulse you can feel in your teeth. It’s big, cinematic, and uncomfortably human. It’s the sound of someone clawing through the static to find something real. The EP’s a mirror cracked wide open, and we’re all staring into the reflection.

VICTORIUS have signed with PERCEPTION and released their new single ‘Dino Race From Outer Space’. The track continues the band’s sci-fi metal theme, combining fast riffs, catchy melodies, and their signature larger-than-life storytelling.

The wait is over: superhero metal warriors GRAILKNIGHTS have officially unleashed their brand-new studio album Forever. Packed with anthemic choruses, powerful riffs, and the band’s trademark mix of heroism and humour, Forever marks the Knights’ most dynamic and unifying chapter yet.

Angel Du$t have announced their new album COLD 2 THE TOUCH and shared its title track, a hyperactive cut of galloping drums, razor sharp riffs, and Justice Tripp’s one-of-a-kind delivery. “This is who I am,” says Tripp. “These are people who are always going to be playing aggressive rock & roll. It’s happening whether you like it or not.”

Digging into themes of isolation, guilt, anger and that space between feeling everything and feeling nothing, Pincer+'s upcoming album is about what's left when the noise stops and you're stuck with yourself. "It's about losing control, pulling yourself apart, and trying to figure out who you are," says the band.

‘I Can’t Look For You’ delves into the dark-indie-rock space that defined Bad Neighbour’s debut Millions. Written after their March shows with Sweet Pill, it captures emotional disillusionment. “It’s about separating yourself from things and places not aligned with where you’re headed, learning to let go of what you love, and confronting the toll of crippling alcoholism,” says Cooper Riley.

On RUDE, Spiritual Cramp find their balance between feisty punk attitude, cheekiness and humour paired with their raw energy. Nothing on this album overstays its welcome. Short, sweet and on point, these songs capture their love of their hometown with pure pop-punk spirit and heart.

"[No Escape is] about feeling suffocated by our everyday lives. We grind and work our jobs while we’re home, and then grind some more out on the road. All of this is happening while the world feels like a daunting thundercloud over our heads.”

With Poster Child, Taylor Acorn continues to shape her own lane in pop-punk. Across twelve tracks, she moves through love, self-doubt, and reflection. From the raw emotion of ‘Hangman’ to the nostalgia of ‘Home Videos’, each song shows her growth as a singer and songwriter.

Story Of The Year have announced their eighth studio album A.R.S.O.N., described as the next evolution of their signature sound and raw lyricism. The band have also shared its first single, ‘Gasoline (All Rage Still Only Numb)’, “a song about hitting your breaking point and saying fuck everything,” explains guitarist Ryan Phillips.

All Time Low have delivered in ‘Everyone’s Talking!’ an album of songs fixed in lived experience that sound like the journey has been painful. The melancholy running through the songs is brilliantly written and expressed through metaphor, imagery and wonderful contrasts.

From the chanting monks of ‘Templars’ to Gustav Vasa’s stand in ‘Till Seger’, Legends pushes history through thunderous riffs and brooding synths. Sabaton move across centuries with tales of Caesar, Joan of Arc and Vlad the Impaler. This is history told as only Sabaton can, fierce, melodic and larger than life.

Australian deathgrind act Gorotica unleash their second album Daily Grind of the Medieval Age via BandCamp. A 35-minute feast of extreme metal carnage, it fuses grisly death metal, grindcore, and dark humour into a grotesque medieval spectacle—complete with torture, cannibalism, and gluttonous riffs.

Para Bellum brings together Testament’s classic heavy sound with moments of experimentation, blending thrash, groove, and melody that revisit different parts of their history while keeping things fresh. It’s a varied and adventurous mix that shows the band still has plenty of fire left, delivering a solid and well-crafted album that plays to their strengths.

RADAR is the culmination of a fifteen-year journey that has seen TesseracT rise from underground beginnings to one of the most vital forces in modern metal music. 

Perturbator’s ‘Age Of Aquarius’ is a darkly cinematic fusion of synthwave, rock, and electronica. With collaborations from Ulver, Author & Punisher, and Alcest, the album explores humanity’s self-destructive path through war, fascism, and despair, balancing haunting instrumentals with moments of fragile beauty. A dystopian soundtrack for our times.
