Anthea Unveil New Single “Phantom in the Masquerade”

January 16, 2026

Los Angeles symphonic metal outfit Anthea have unveiled their powerful new single “Phantom in the Masquerade,” officially out now via Rockshots Records and on all digital platforms. The track is the first glimpse into the band’s forthcoming third full-length album, Beyond The Dawn, and signals the beginning of Anthea’s most ambitious and theatrical era yet. “Phantom in the Masquerade” dives deep into the emotional weight of feeling unseen while surrounded by others. That sense of isolation is translated into a dramatic and immersive soundscape, pairing haunting atmosphere with a strong melodic core.  The track pulls you into a darker, more introspective space, one that feels designed for late-night listening rather than casual background play.  It balances vulnerability and intensity and still sets the emotional tone for what lies ahead. “‘Phantom in the Masquerade’ is one of the most theatrical songs we’ve written. We wanted it to feel both catchy and haunting, with lyrics that capture the experience of being surrounded by people yet completely unseen. It sets the stage for the dramatic direction we’ve been [Read More]

NEW MUSIC/VIDEO: Black Veil Brides kick off 2026 with CERTAINTY

January 8, 2026

Black Veil Brides know how to kick off the new year right. They have just released a new song and video for “Certainty” and it will jumpstart 2026! The song is off their upcoming album which is set to release later this year on Spinefarm. This will be the 7th album for the band which is comprised of vocalist Andy Biersack, guitarists Jake Pitts and Jinxx, bassist Lonny Eagleton, and drummer Christian Coma. Andy Biersack comments, “The concept of ‘Certainty’ is central to this record and appears throughout the album. The song was inspired by the film Conclave, particularly its reflections on religious certainty and how rigid belief systems can become prisons of our own making. When certainty hardens, curiosity, growth, and the willingness to change become impossible. Much of today’s political and social discourse exists inside these echo chambers of absolute belief, and that tension drives the narrative of this record.” “This was the final song written and recorded for the album. It started from an idea Jake sent over, and it came together quickly over [Read More]

December 4, 2025

Norwegian progressive rockers Gazpacho have just released a lyric video for their track Starling.  In addition they have announced tour dates for their Spring European tour. Speaking on the news, songwriter and keyboardist Thomas Andersen shared the following in his usual enigmatic fashion – “We are adding an extra touch to the festive season and without fully disclosing all of our plans let us just softly allude to what is coming with the following clues, hints and other clever ways to say that we are going on a tour without saying we are going on a tour even if we are going on a tour which we are. The bags are packed. Mostly with equipment as is our custom, but also with clothes to protect the gear from damage. These clothes may be worn as well. A double whammy. Passports are freshened up and looking fantastic! Set lists have been written, memorised and discarded and that process has been repeated many times and yes, “Starling” might still be on the list. Our collegues and bosses have been [Read More]

In this realm, we are no longer solitary beings, but shining stars drawn together into galaxies, each one a reminder that we are participants in a cosmic symphony far larger than ourselves.” About the video Evoking John Everett Millais’ classic painting Ophelia, the exquisite and haunting video directed by Tas Limur features Azam submerged in a pool filled with verdant flowers and flora.

January 21, 2026

Today, Roman Candle share a new song that hits hard and refuses to let go. “Can We Watch Something Happy?” arrives with an accompanying music video, delivering a fierce, high-energy surge that immediately demands your attention. Written from the perspective of vocalist Piper Ferrari’s childhood self, the song channels a storm of intrusive thoughts, compulsive prayer, and the crushing guilt of believing your own mind is something sinful. The intensity isn’t just sonic—it’s emotional. The track moves with urgency, balancing raw aggression and vulnerability in a way that feels both overwhelming and deeply real. Piper comments, “‘Can We Watch Something Happy’ is written from the perspective of my childhood self. I struggled with severe OCD growing up, which was intensified by being raised in a religious household. I wasn’t diagnosed until much later, so for most of my youth I didn’t understand what was happening — I just remember being scared all the time.There was a constant cycle of praying for the intrusive thoughts to go away, eventually giving in to them, and then praying [Read More]
