"This track hits very close to home," says vocalist Lizi McIntosh. "It's about victims not being believed about their abuse because of the stigma that surrounds domestic violence as a whole. The video represents that abuse comes in all forms, shapes and sizes; even if it’s not what's stereotypically perceived by societal norms."

"'Tränenpalast' is our tribute to the great tradition of Italian cinema. We drew inspiration from Dario Argento’s classic “Suspiria” and Luca Guadagnino’s epic masterpiece remake. Musically, we bow to the great Goblin, in direct conversation with maestro Claudio Simonetti. We hope you enjoy the song as much as we do. Only love to the greats! Hail to the Hordes!"

CONJURER’s co-vocalist and guitarist Dani Nightingale says: “This song reflects the first bricks in the metaphorical wall between yourself and the world. For me, that sense of disconnection began at school—being misunderstood and forced to conform. It’s about being vilified for traits that feel natural, yet make you someone you’re not.”

Max Cavalera states, "To me this is the ultimate guest song and video. Nikolas Motta, Biaggio, Dino, Igor A, Bootsie, Gabe, and Ben made this a collective masterpiece! Zyon took this album and video to the next level. It’s the first time he wrote a script and directed a music video. Mixing UFC and Metal will hopefully inspire a whole new generation of fans!

THOUGHT LEADER explores digital isolation, cynicism, and emotional numbness in the modern age - it is HEALTH at their most existentially charged and sonically ferocious. Trapped in a loop of screens, self-doubt, and consumer emptiness, the song captures the crushing sense of burnout and lost meaning that defines the post-digital psyche.

The single is accompanied by a dark, haunting video, directed by Noah Sebastian and filmmaker Nico Poalillo, their third collaboration which has set the stage for this next chapter in BAD OMENS' evolution. The cinematic, story-driven visual — a hallmark of the band's creative identity.

Lyrically, the song is a haunting reflection on mortality and the psychological weight of illness. "The song moves through the experience from multiple angles: the person living inside a failing body, the friends and family watching from the edges, and the lingering ache of loss that outlives the diagnosis," says the band.

"Everybody Knows is about feeling out of place- when your anxiety takes over and you can't hide it anymore," the band says. "It's that moment when you realize everyone can see you're not holding it together, but you don't know how to escape it."

"Crawl Back To My Coffin is a metaphor for love that hurts you when you're guarded and causes your walls to go up even further," says Rodriguez. "The excitement in meeting someone new when you're 'dead' and feeling like they bring you back to life only to feel pain and wish you had never left your grave at the end of it."

Niclas Engelin recalls the song’s lasting impact:
“I got hit by lightning in the 7th grade when I got to borrow the album by Phenomena from my friend Emil Olsen. The song Dance With The Devil struck me hard, and I recorded the whole album on cassette — which I played into dust.”

Commenting on the single, vocalist Ben Beddick says: “This was my first time doing that type of fast screaming in one of our songs…I really wanted to utilize a more percussive and almost, rapping style vocal during the verse section. I thought it was a nice contrast to other parts of the song.”

After surprisingly releasing their collaboration single ‘Instrument Of War’ featuring Stick To Your Guns, Switzerland’s unstoppable heavy export PALEFACE SWISS are back with another neck-breaking track: ‘Let Me Sleep.’ The new single marks the official announcement of their upcoming EP The Wilted, set for release on January 2nd, 2026, a continuation of the haunting world the band established with their charting album Cursed.

DESPISED ICON's Eric Jarrin comments, "We are really stoked to present this third single to all of you. 'The Apparition' holds a special place in my heart as it is the last song I wrote for this record. With the help of Alex for the arrangements, I allowed myself to push the melodic enveloppe a bit further and came up with one of the most crushing breakdowns on the album.

On ‘Matter Of Life & Death’, AGNOSTIC FRONT and DMC prove that they have far more to offer than mere nostalgia. In a refreshingly modern take on genre-blending, the single charges into a snarling street fight between hardcore punk and old-school hip-hop swagger.

‘Diamond In The Rough’ channels the raw, unfiltered energy of 1970s arena rock. Friedman’s fiery fretwork ignites the song, adding his unmistakable touch of guitar heroism that takes the band’s signature power-trio sound into overdrive.
