Comments guitarist Greg Burgess, “‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ is a very special song for me. Having the opportunity to explore my love for steel string acoustic music, and bringing it into the fold with ALLEGAEON, will forever be a source of pride. Not only that but exploring this marriage of two styles with an acoustic heavy weight Adrian Bellue was equally special.”

"Blood Pact is a song that, unfortunately, has become more relevant as time goes on," explains Kirby. "It's about how the decisions of people in power affect the rest of us. And how as a human race, we face the reality of destruction, even when it's not the majority making the decision."

A warm and delicate song, "Sunshine" establishes itself as a thoughtful, softer offering from Garden Eyes. Pretty harmonies and feel-good chord choices create a light sonic palette that contrasts with the heavy subject of loss. The song works through the process of losing someone you love and the intimate, painful moments that come with it, balancing love and grief.

With “Flowers To A Knife Fight”, Norwegian deathpop punks Blood Command turn betrayal, disappointment and emotional exhaustion into a blazing modern punk anthem built for sweaty clubs and massive festival singalongs alike. 

Comments vocalist Travis Ryan, "We're now sending Terrasite off to go live with the rest of our discography, so as a going away present for our fans we present to you the ‘Dead End Residents’ official music video that was shot live during our European tour last year as well as some footage from the No Fear For Tomorrow Tour.”

Electric Callboy on their new single and the collab with Dexter Holland and The Offspring: “The Offspring have been one of the bands that shaped us from the very beginning. Their music was part of our lives long before Electric Callboy even existed, so having Dexter on this song honestly feels surreal.”

"Respawn is the start of a new chapter for the band — and for me stepping in," Gutierrez enthuses. "I've been working for 15 years trying to get to where I am today, and joining this band marks a turning point in my life that I will forever be grateful for.”

Dez on ‘Dead in the Water’: “This is one of the most positive songs I’ve ever written lyrically, coming from a very dark time straight into blinding light. I needed to empower others to do the same as I did, and tell them to ‘stay the course,’ life turns around if given the chance to flourish.”

Heidi Shepherd shares: “There are certain nights, certain moments, and certain connections you never fully shake. ‘Blame It On The Wind’ came from one of those nights that should have disappeared in the morning. In 2012, what started as a one-night stand morphed into a connection that would haunt me for years.”

“For me, ‘Your Ghost Again’ is about when you lose somebody that’s close to you that you existed with for most of your life—or your whole life,” Dailor says. “It’s those moments when you’re in those familiar places that you’ve always been with that person, and then, after they’re gone, you see them out of the corner of your eye, and it makes you sad because they’re not there.”

Australian melodic death metal force Destruction of the Healer continue the march towards their highly anticipated new full-length album, “A Universe Bereaved” (out July 9), with the release of their crushing second single, "Sekhmet".

Inspired by the Japanese phenomenon of “Johatsu” people who deliberately disappear from their lives “The Trace Outlives” tells a story of vanishing without a trace, exploring the emotional weight of leaving one’s identity behind to start anew in anonymity, while reflecting on regret, freedom, and the invisible marks that remain even in absence.

For more on the single, Brink offers, "With 'Sleeping with the Enemy' and our upcoming album, we're confronting the darkness — whether it's inside us or external. It's about looking that darkness in the face and transforming it into empowerment. We feel so exhilarated and ready to show the world what we’ve conjured up."

Speaking of the new single, vocalist Mercedes Arn-Horn shares, “We’re exhausted, disgusted and horrified by the blatant violation of human rights and fearful of the very real threat of fascist dictatorship. We’re worn out from debating, educating, and simply existing in these times. There are no more excuses. No justifications.”

Victoria says that Oh So Weary "is a song I am so extremely proud of! I wanted to create something that I would listen to and just kind of let go of the boundaries of what ‘Victoria K’ sounds like, and write for fun, I think that’s why I genuinely love this song.”
