East Ov Eden Push Boundaries With Crushing Debut Album BOUNDLESS

May 13, 2026

Memphis heavy hitters East Ov Eden just dropped their debut full-length album BOUNDLESS, and it’s an absolute monster of a release. The band pulls from deathcore, technical death metal, orchestral elements, and even atmospheric melodies without ever sounding forced. One minute the album is crushing and chaotic, the next it shifts into cinematic layers and massive choruses. It honestly feels like they refused to put any limits on what this record could be. If you’re into bands like All Shall Perish, Signs of the Swarm, or Cattle Decapitation, there’s definitely something here for you, but East Ov Eden still manages to carve out their own identity with the cinematic atmosphere and technical twists throughout the album. Tracks like “…TO A MOONLIT GARDEN” and “PERPETUAL HORROR” show off how dynamic the band can get, while songs like “SOULWEAVER” and “IT ENDS IN FEAR” lean harder into the deathcore side with punishing breakdowns and nonstop aggression. What makes this release stand out is how ambitious it feels for a debut. Instead of playing it safe, the band [Read More]

May 12, 2026

Balmora are bringing the intensity with their new track “Moon Light Hysteria,” giving fans another crushing preview of their debut album These Graven Halls, due out May 29th via Daze. The song hits hard with punishing breakdowns and relentless energy, while still weaving in melodic tones that add depth without ever pulling back on the heaviness. The screams feel raw and emotionally charged, driving the track with an urgency that keeps you locked in from beginning to end. Balmora balance chaos and atmosphere perfectly here, creating a song that feels both brutal and immersive all at once. The band comments about the track, ‘Moon Light Hysteria’ is what the band refers to as the ‘title track.’ We wanted to simulate being trapped in a nightmarish cathedral or dungeon while an entity is hunting you. It also serves as a metaphor for life. We shan’t soon leave these graven halls of our lives’ suffering. The halls are you, the entity is only known to you.” Stream “MOON LIGHT HYSTERIA” HERE and HERE, and preorder THESE GRAVEN HALLS through DAZE. Along with the [Read More]

The Last Dinner Party release new single “Big Dog”

May 8, 2026

Today, The Last Dinner Party released their new single “Big Dog,” a track that’s already become a standout favorite during their live shows. The song was co-produced by the ban, marking their first production credit alongside Animesh Raval. “Big Dog” leans into a darker, more intense art-pop sound with shades reminiscent of PJ Harvey. Alongside the single, the band also shared “Come All You Beasts,” a spoken word piece they often perform before the song during concerts. Band member Georgia Davies explained that “Come All You Beasts” was created to introduce the mythic and storytelling themes that connect From the Pyre and “Big Dog.” She said the piece blends themes from the song with Bible passages, twisting traditional ideas about women’s safety. Drawing inspiration from poetry and performance art, the band felt spoken word and improvised music naturally fit their creative style. Fans can stream “Big Dog” and watch the accompanying music video now: The band has also added more dates supporting Olivia Rodrigo after strong demand. Their residency now includes ten shows at [Read More]

Last weekend, I once again had the chance to catch a show at my favorite venue, the Backstage in Munich. This time it was in the Halle, the medium-sized club on the areal. The show has long been announced and in the end sold out. Three female-fronted bands, really tore down the venue with their energy-driven sets. The line-up was a good match. With breaks between sets of about 20 minutes, it was like a three-hour-long, almost uninterrupted set, including intensive crowd-surfing and numerous circle pits. Enjoy the photos, and I’ll see you in the pit! ~ Alex Black Spikes Butcher Babies Infected Rain For more information on the bands, follow their social media and make sure to catch them live: Infected Rain https://www.facebook.com/infectedrain https://www.infectedrain.com/ https://x.com/InfectedRain https://www.instagram.com/infectedrain_official/ Butcher Babies https://www.facebook.com/butcherbabies https://butcherbabies.com/ https://www.instagram.com/butcherbabies/ https://x.com/ButcherBabies Black Spikes https://www.facebook.com/Blackspikesband https://www.instagram.com/blackspikes_band https://www.youtube.com/@blackspikes_band Backstage Munich https://www.backstage.eu/ https://www.facebook.com/backstagemunich Thanks to the bands and the local promoter for the chance to cover the show!

Three Chairs, One Magical Night: Maya Hawke in San Francisco

April 19, 2026

The venue, the Intimate Chapel in San Francisco, set the tone for something special. On a sold-out Saturday night, it truly was the place to be. The line wrapped around the block, and you could feel the anticipation building with every step closer to the door as fans made their way in for an evening with Maya Hawke. Inside, the venue’s stunning architecture as it was originally built as a church in early 1900s, and that sparkly disco ball hanging overhead gave it an almost dreamlike glow, an iconic setting that felt perfectly suited for what was about to unfold. With just three chairs on stage, you knew right away this wasn’t going to be a typical show, it was going to be something intimate, something magical. Maya was joined by her husband, Christian Lee Hutson, along with an amazing violinist (my apologies for not having her name) who added a beautiful layer to the performance. Throughout the night, Maya not only performed but opened up, sharing stories behind the songs, engaging with the [Read More]

A Night of Pure Chaos – Behemoth and The Godless IV Tour in San Francisco

April 16, 2026

There are metal shows… and then there are nights like The Godless IV Tour when the intensity hits on another level entirely. When Behemoth brought their relentless force to The Regency Ballroom on April 15th, it wasn’t just a concert, it was a full-on assault that left the crowd stunned and exhilarated. The night kicked off strong with Immolation, who came in with incredible energy and absolutely shredded the stage. Their set leaned heavy into their older material while still showcasing tracks from their newer album and the crowd was loving every second of it. The mix of old and new hit perfectly, keeping the momentum high right from the start. Rotting Christ traveled all the way from Greece and brought a powerful, immersive presence that had the California crowd in awe. Their stage presence was intense and captivating, feeding off the crowd while giving that energy right back. From crushing riffs to thunderous drums, their set built into a full-blown frenzy, with a solid circle pit forming as the energy surged through the room. [Read More]
