There Is No Memory is an album steeped in life (and lives) lived, in recollections of the past, in the absence of what once was, in the lacuna brought on by the memories of what had been. Jorgensen knew he wanted to write an album about memories, and while demoing tracks, something happened that felt connected.

Shadow Work by Canadian deathcore legends Despised Icon is a scorched-earth assault of guttural roars, bone-crushing riffs, and machine-gun drumming. Featuring guests from Kublai Khan, Carnifex, Tom Barber of Chelsea Grin, and Misstiq, it’s pure chaos and adrenaline from start to finish, the perfect soundtrack to the zombie apocalypse.

“ALL THAT FOLLOWS marks the end of The Death We Seek and the start of a new chapter. These songs reflect our independence, experimentation and collaboration like never before. We explore disillusionment, inequality, betrayal and life’s ambiguity, pouring every experience into our music. It is rarely a happy story but always a cathartic one,” says Wille.

Speaking about the EP, Taylor said: “Taylor Momsen’s Pretty Reckless Christmas started as just one song, but the moment we got into the studio, it took on a life of its own. There was so much emotion, nostalgia and chaos wrapped up in it that it didn’t feel right to leave it standing alone. To really honor it, I needed to build a whole world around it.”

Brisbane nu-metal provocateurs Headwreck have dropped their electrifying new EP 'Attitude Adjustment', and share the video for new single "Razor". Headwreck are poised to make a loud, unapologetic statement in the alternative metal scene.

From releasing three brand-new tracks to touring across their own country with the title in blind sight, Japanese band coldrain have kept anticipation high. Now, the quintet has finally unveiled their new EP “OPTIMIZE ”

The Light We Chase exposes darkness and finds clarity in pain. Bloom wrestles with loss, self-worth, and time itself, creating an album that burns with honesty and reflection.

This album is hauntingly beautiful but it still rocks hard with synths, guitar riffs and brutal breakdowns. Even in its hope that experimenting with raising “the dead with miracles” might be a thing, the album is about how the unstoppable road in life unfolds into the horror of time passing and leads inexorably to the grave.

“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.”
