"We are happy to present you with this epic, classic heavy song full of depth and occult moments that go straight under your skin! From a dark time of mankind, this song was composed with respect to all blood that this time has poured. ‘Inquisition’ will stay as a song that moves our engine with power to do more and more..."

“SUCKERPUNCH is a song about getting knocked down so many times that you learn to wear your bruises like badges,” Gaskarth says. “The music and tone of the song are so intentionally steeped in overconfident swagger, while the lyrics tell a very different story about stepping into the ring with an opponent twice your size, waiting for the bell to ring with a smile on your face.”

“The song speaks to universal and painful truths—that love is the source of all suffering, and the bittersweet feelings that coincide with it,” elaborates Jennings. “The lyrics come from an extremely personal place and are set against a melancholy, stripped-back track that helps accent one of our most emotional hymns to date.”

The music video for ‘Leavin’ Here’ is an explosively raucous mixed media visual combining unique model characters and set pieces with archive footage of the band. Originally recorded in 1976, ‘The Manticore Tapes’ features previously unheard recordings from Motörhead’s classic ‘Three Amigos’ line-up.

Commenting on the record, vocalist Nick Holmes says:
"Ascension is a cavalcade of molten misery, a vigorous sorrow filled stroll through a wicked world of glorious triumph and pitiful tragedy."

Today, PARADISE LOST offer a glimpse into their melancholic masterpiece with the record’s first single and music video, ‘Silence Like The Grave.’

"Following the success of The Path, it was clear that we had to immortalise these songs on some form of physical media. We knew the songs were strong, but did not expect them to connect with people the way that have. In light of this, we have a very limited pressing of the EP in coke bottle green with custom etching.” Be sure to grab yourself a copy, and we'll see you on the road - Ali, Ben, Conor & Josh."

“The story behind our new single ‘Hordes Of Khan’ was a great one to take a deep dive into,” says singer Joakim Brodén. “The song actually turned out to have way more depth than we expected. Genghis Khan wasn’t just a conqueror; he was a complex figure who left behind a huge legacy. He built the largest contiguous empire in history, stretching far beyond Mongolia, and his influence only grew after his death. Honestly, we couldn’t have picked a more suitable subject for the new direction SABATON is heading in! ‘Hordes of Khan’ hits hard, and it’s heavy for good reason.”

“So here's a video (of sorts) for your ‘enjoyment.’ We had requests left, right & centre to do one of them measly ‘lyric videos’ or ‘visualizers’ for ‘content.’ Now, right there are three words I despise! I’ve made it clear in our circle of trust that we shouldn’t use the word ‘content’ even if that’s exactly what we’re working on. We’re not some goddamn influencers, now are we? So can we please settle on the old fashioned word ‘video’ without meddling with modern online lingo?”

Fueled by outrage, Savages rips into the blind allegiance that empowers corruption. Burton C. Bell lays bare the moral collapse behind political idolatry.

"Would you be my therapy? will always be a very special song to us," TSS states. "It is the one song that defined our new musical direction, which is now a blend of neo-metal, phonk, emo-core, and industrial music. It's also the first song that really got attention not only from the public but also from our label, Fearless Records. It is then an honor for us to give it a second life through this collaboration with Windwaker, which we consider one of the most innovative band in our label's roster right now.”

“I think it will be very clear to people hearing ‘Captain Goat’, that the rules once again have changed,” states vocalist Eckerström. “It will always be metal. It will always be Avatar. We will never do the same song twice and we will always find ways to reinvent ourselves. It’s the only way we know how to do this, and the only way to give ourselves a shot at being the best we have ever been.”

It’s one of the Japanese metal bands most forceful tracks to date, pairing Slaughter to Prevail’s raw, punishing vocals with BABYMETAL’s soaring, melodic choruses. The result is tense and theatrical, but tightly controlled—a balancing act the band has long specialized in.

“Salt The Wound' is the product of us making a conscious decision to bridge the two faces of Malevolence. On one hand we have the heavy aggressive side, and on the other we have the slower melodic songs, so we wanted a song that could combine the two.” - Alex Taylor

Behemoth’s “Sowing Salt” is a scorched-earth spectacle—part apocalyptic sermon, part retro-futuristic nightmare. Directed by Zev Deans, the video blends bleak landscapes, ritualistic chaos, and industrial decay to match one of the band’s most brutal tracks yet. It’s dark, cinematic, and unmistakably Behemoth.

Parkway Drive make a powerful comeback with “Sacred”, a hard-hitting, impactful track that marks a bold shift in their musical journey.
