Photo gallery: Avatar live in Munich at the Tonhalle

March 8, 2026

The Swedish visionaries of Avatar returned to Munich last week. This time, they played a bigger venue, the Tonhalle, and managed to sell it out completely in advance! The atmosphere was, as always, loaded with anticipation, and the “citizens of Avatar country” were not disappointed. It was an energetic show that led through many albums of the band. Most of the songs, though, came from their recent record “Don’t Go In The Forest”, but they also played all-time favorites like “The Eagle Has Landed” and “Bloody Angel”. After almost two hours, they closed their set with two more fan favorites, “Smells Like A Freakshow” and “Hail the Apocalypse”. Here’s the complete set-list: Captain Goat Silence in the Age of Apes The Eagle Has Landed In the Airwaves Bloody Angel Death and Glitz Blod The Dirt I’m Buried In Colossus Torn Apart Howling at the Waves Glory to Our King Legend of the King Let It Burn Tonight We Must Be Warriors Encore: Don’t Go in the Forest Smells Like a Freakshow Hail the Apocalypse Of [Read More]

The Amity Affliction share new song and announce new album

February 8, 2026

The Amity Affliction released a new song last Friday. Have you checked out “House Of Cards” yet? “House Of Cards” is a song penned by Joel Birch (singer) for his brother and sister (and himself), taking stock of the relationship shared with their mother; a central figure at the heart of the album. Open about the difficult nature of the relationship shared between mother and children, Birch unpacks the thematic nature of ‘House Of Cards’, “Our mother died in 2024 and none of us had a healthy relationship with her. She was very self-involved, aggressive, abusive in our early years and in her later years, spent a good amount of time trying to put a wedge between the three of us. Thankfully once she passed, the three of us actually became closer as we realised we had individual, but shared trauma related to her.” The new song came with the long-awaited announcement of a new album. “House Of Cards” will be the first full-length record with the band’s new clean vocalist Jonny Reeves, who became [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]
