EXODUS have announced their 12th studio album the follow up to their highest charting record ever and Napalm Records debut, Goliath, out March 20, 2026! The band have revealed the massive opening track "3111" – the sinister single strikes dissonant chords before careening into breakneck thrash intensity. This album standout showcases EXODUS' ever-increasingly dynamic approach, even decades into their historic reign.

MØL’s Dreamcrush moves between floating synths, clean melodies, and bursts of heavy vocal fry. Across the album, light and darkness sit side by side, shifting between dream and nightmare as hopes, tension, and emotional weight are explored through layered sound and atmosphere.

Hammers’ ‘Death Wobbles’ delivers heavy alternative rock with metal edge and unmistakably Australian character. Packed with local slang, clean and fry vocals, and thick guitar work, the album moves from chaotic nights out to darker reflections on life, loss, and consequence, closing on the eerie mythos of ‘Yowie’.

Experience the first taste of the devastation with their new single "Adversary"—a crushing blend of blast beats, intimidating leads, and cavernous vocals. Defined by merciless percussion, dissonant riffing, and Ross Dolan’s commanding growls, the track is a monumental display of the band's enduring power.

Moodring symbolize transformation. The musical entity's name hints at volatility — color, emotion, and temperature in flux.

It's survival, reflection, and metamorphosis. It is art made from the raw materials of pain, purpose, and persistence.

 Zakk began writing ENGINES OF DEMOLITION in 2022 during his relentless Pantera Celebration World Tour and continued through 2025, when he wrote his most personally profound and heartfelt ballad to date ‘Ozzy’s Song’. A song for the man who started this all for Zakk Wylde.
