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]

The Last Dinner Party announce new album and release new single

July 17, 2025

One of our absolute favorite bands, The Last Dinner Party have just announced the news for their second album. Their second album FROM THE PYRE is set to release on October 17th via Island Records. In addition to announcing the album news, they have released a new single, “This Is The Killer Speaking”. The band share about their new album: “This record is a collection of stories, and the concept of album-as-mythos binds them. ‘The Pyre’ itself is an allegorical place in which these tales originate, a place of violence and destruction but also regeneration, passion and light. “The songs are character driven but still deeply personal, a commonplace life event pushed to pathological extreme. Being ghosted becomes a Western dance with a killer, and heartbreak laughs into the face of the apocalypse. Lyrics invoke rifles, scythes, sailors, saints, cowboys, floods, Mother Earth, Joan of Arc, and blazing infernos. We found this kind of evocative imagery to be the most honest and truthful way to discuss the way our experiences felt, giving each the [Read More]

Why can the simplest interactions [Read More]
