Eivør reflects on the track:

"Verjugarðar / Walls is an epic and dark electronic rock ballad about two people who have lost what once bound them together behind walls of silence.
The paradox is that the walls we build to protect ourselves can also be the very walls that keep us apart.

"Maybe I’ll Come Around" turns inward, exploring the familiar cycle of wanting someone who was never emotionally available and convincing yourself that whatever fragments of affection they offer are enough. "You know it's a bad idea, but the little bits of attention keep pulling you back in," says vocalist Josh Baker.

Kat says she has "never fit in with mainstream society and I've always been a bit of an outcast living my own life...I always questioned everything about how we were taught to live...Running Wild is about breaking the rules of society and living life the way you want."

The band comments, "'The Joyful Stain' is an homage to 'the lucky country' that we call home. A second-rate first-world dystopia governed by corruption, stupidity, and indifference."

Sydney melodic death metal outfit Besomora return with their new single "Before I Die". This is the second single taken from the band's forthcoming EP, Devotion to the Fear, due for release on September 18.

Fresh from launching their European tour in front of thousands of enthusiastic fans in London and Cardiff, Hollywood Vampires, the rock supergroup featuring Alice Cooper, Johnny Depp, Joe Perry and Tommy Henriksen, have released their new live album “At Montreux Jazz Festival.”

One of the most distinctive and revered forces in modern rock music, Sweden's very own GRAVEYARD are back with a brand new single, 'A Means To An End', the first glimpse at their highly anticipated 7th studio album Fever, which will be released on October 9th, 2026 worldwide on Nuclear Blast Records.

"I used to spend so much time trying to hide the messiest parts of myself, but lately I realized those parts are the most interesting. I wrote ‘pretty little wreck’ when I decided to embrace the chaos instead of apologizing for it.”

Vocalist Tobias Gustavsson comments:

"'Teenage Rebel' is all about lost youth. About being careless. About being fearless and living every day like there's no tomorrow. We believe that message really shines through in this live performance of the song."

SKÁLD about “Himinbjǫrg”:

“‘Himinbjǫrg’ invites us to step onto the threshold, to the gateway at the edge of the sky, to face the guardian’s gaze—are we ready to be judged as we reach the end of the bridge? These cliffs in the sky are a mirror of our actions, our ambitions, our Ørlǫg; it is a long journey toward something greater—let us ride on without fear.”

The Hootsman about “Die with a Sword in My Hand”:

“I don’t always die, but when I do, it’s with a sword in my hand.”

A few words from the band about the song:
"Creature Of The Night is about a person or being so irresistible that they take pleasure in ruining relationships and destroying people's lives, watching them burn to the ground…"

Green Lung stated:
‘’Black Magick Radio’ is our love letter to occult rock itself, and a promise to spread its gospel as widely as we possibly can. All together now… Eko Eko Azarak, Eko Eko Zomelak…"

Live by the Sword is a sonically frantic exercise, with hushed vocal chants and guitar-forward motion. The song's thrust is powered by the mid-tempo tension that has become such a definitive hallmark of Movements' sound.

"Sweet Dreams is a song about being deceived by the world around you," the band explains. "About safety in a sense of blissful ignorance. Sonically, it draws inspiration from all of our previous work over the last 10 years."
