STIGMA Share Second Chance (Deluxe US/Export Edition) as Touring Plans Take Shape for 2026

January 21, 2026

There’s something quietly powerful about a band that knows exactly who they are and isn’t trying to be anything else. German melodic heavy metal/dark rock band STIGMA are continuing to carve out their own space with the release of Second Chance (Deluxe US/Export Edition), which is an expanded global edition that opens the door to new listeners while staying true to the heart of the band. Formed in Germany in 2021, the band has quietly built a world where melody, shadow, and emotion coexist. Their music lives in that in between space balancing melodic heavy metal with a dark rock edge and where vulnerability doesn’t weaken the sound, it strengthens it. If you’ve ever found comfort in the moody romanticism of HIM, The 69 Eyes, Volbeat, or Type O Negative, STIGMA’s songs will feel like familiar company. On June 4, 2025, STIGMA released their debut album, Second Chance, a record that is rooted in reflection, resilience, and the idea that broken things don’t need to be fixed to be meaningful. Now, with Second Chance (Deluxe [Read More]

Precious Child bring the spotlight on the darkness with their new video for I Fall

August 24, 2015

Dark rockers Precious Child from Baltimore have just released a new video for their song, I Fall. The song is off their debut album, Bloody Knees which was recorded and mixed in Los Angeles, CA by Ulrich Wild, the multiplatinum producer/mixer known for his work with Otep,White Zombie, Deftones, Dethklok… The video brings the spotlight on to the darkness that some experience and is a very intense and powerful video. Singer/songwriter Precious comments about the video: “This is one of the most intense things I’ve ever done. I had no idea that a video shoot would be so involved. When we were initially discussing it, I was pretty unsure about how well the video would turn out. Despite this being his first video project, Precious proved that he has a clear and strong vision and it was wonderful to see our initial storyboard come to life. When I first saw the video, I surprised myself and cried. I myself have dealt with my share of darkness and understood the message of the video quite well.” [Read More]

Number Station revives Alternative Hard Rock!

January 8, 2013

Number Station Sometimes you just need your music a bit heavier!! Well if now is that time, Number Station is the band for you. I recently got their EP sampler sent over and it was one of those rare moments. Those moments when I was in the middle of multitasking a hundred things at once, going over the list of things to have to get done and then popping the CD in. The first song that played was “The Invisible Fire” which has a great dark mysterious intro that just blends into a deep hardcore mix. It is like waking yourself up from a long sleep and seeing that you only have a few hours left of the day. So you wake up and give it all you got, energized and ready to scream out to the world. You are full blown energy ready to take on anything and you give everything of yourself. This song just gives and gives!  Here you can take a listen to that incredible song:   Then you get into the [Read More]
