October 8, 2025

International singer Azam Ali releases new video for title track off her new album; Synesthesia which is set for a November 14th release via COP International. The title track truly transports listeners into an ethereal space. About the new track and album, Azam Ali comments, “My music is an invitation to step beyond the confines of time, place, and the fragile vessel of flesh, into a universe without borders, I want the listener to feel carried into the vastness of the ethereal, where freedom breathes and every note reveals our part in a greater design. 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. The visual parallel is striking: in Millais’s painting, the drowned Hamlet character floats among blossoms; in Azam’s video, she swims and contorts beneath [Read More]

The Last Dinner Party release new track and video for The Scythe, off their upcoming album From the Pyre

September 5, 2025

We are very excited to share new music from The Last Dinner Party. They have just released their new track, The Scythe which is off their forthcoming album, From the Pyre which is set for a release on October 17th via Island Records. The song was conceived by Abigail Morris in her teens as a breakup song. Abigail Morris on ‘The Scythe’: “This song began 9 years ago, like a prophecy. I wrote it before I had known anything of grief or heartbreak, how a relationship ending feels exactly the same as that person dying. Once you know how it feels to lose someone you enter a new realm from which you can never return. You’re trying to reach them telepathically through psychics or song lyrics (sometimes those two become the same) and sometimes they give you a reply. It can take 9 years to realise you’re even grieving at all but once you do you see them everywhere – in a robin, in a street fox, in a Wim Wenders film. The Scythe comes [Read More]

Ice Nine Kills unleash new single/video for The Great Unknown

July 9, 2025

  Today, RIAA Gold-Certified horror metal madmen Ice Nine Kills unleash “The Great Unknown”, a hard-hitting, high-concept single and video sees the band stepping into the glitching heart of dystopian sci-fi inspired by The Matrix. Watch the official music video for “The Great Unknown”   “The Great Unknown” pairs cinematic worship with melodic grandeur, pushing Ice Nine Kills’ signature sound into uncharted territory while retaining the polish, precision, and razor-wire wit that have defined the INKverse to date. The official music video drops the viewer into a parallel simulation—an adrenaline-fueled, bullet-time mindwarp where perception is fragile, control is an illusion, and nothing is quite what it seems. Will you wake up, press play and follow the white rabbit into The Great Unknown or choose the blissful ignorance of The Matrix? Red pill or blue pill. The choice is yours! The release of “The Great Unknown” follows weeks of escalating online speculation surrounding frontman Spencer Charnas’ increasingly cryptic and eerily odd behavior. What began as an unforced marketing misfire quickly snowballed into full-blown internet hysteria, as fans, critics, and commentators dissected increasingly [Read More]

PREMIERE: Highway Terrier is Reviving Rock with new release Covid Blues

August 28, 2025

Highway Terrier is a rising new band out of Davis, California, and they are ready to make big waves with the release of their new track Covid Blues. The song carries the grit of early blues-influenced classic rock, fueled by raw energy and an authentic sound that feels both fresh and nostalgic. We had the chance to chat with Ben Sherstinsky and what you to get to know your new favorite band! Founder/Guitarist Ben Sherstinsky shares how Highway Terrier came about, In the fall of 2024, I had recorded four songs where I played all or most instruments on each track, and did the lead vocals on two of them. The time came to form a live band, so I brought together some people I had played and performed with in the past, as well as some new people, most of whom I knew from UC Davis. I knew I wanted a singer with a raspy, gritty timbre, and once I heard Christian Bush sing I knew he was the guy. One Sunday night, both [Read More]

We Came As Romans release new single “One By One”

August 20, 2025

Michigan metalcore titans We Came As Romans have announced their highly anticipated new album, ‘ALL IS BEAUTIFUL…BECAUSE WE’RE DOOMED’, a while ago. Time is flying fast and the release is almost upon us – Friday, August 22nd! The announcement arrived alongside the release of the album’s third single, “culture wound,” and its accompanying official music video. Following the defiant anthems “bad luck” and “no rest for the dreamer,” this track dives deep into the battle between our best and worst impulses. “culture wound” confronts the fundamental question at the heart of human existence: are we inherently good or inherently bad? The track wrestles with the forces—both internal and external—that shape who we become, delivered through the band’s signature blend of crushing riffs and soaring melodies. “culture wound is about taking a look inside and deciding which side of yourself is going to control your life. This song was written to question our human nature – is it inherently good or inherently selfish? Are we here to try and make something better for everyone or just [Read More]
