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]

They were describing exactly where my heart lies. Rock n’ roll that’s loud, raw, unfiltered, built for a foreign landscape. This song has that unhinged wild energy, the one I felt when I first picked up a guitar. It’s real and it’s rowdy, just like the music I worshipped growing up.” Borderlands is one of the best-selling and most beloved video game franchises of all time. For the fourth installment, Des Rocs brings the raw energy and grit he’s known for, taking the helm for the main theme song, and following in the footsteps of Cage [Read More]

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]
