  • EUROPE Shares Music Video For Latest Single “The Cult Of Ignorance” From Upcoming Album “Come This Madness”

    Europe have released “The Cult Of Ignorance”, the second single from their upcoming album Come This Madness, which arrives on September 25 through Silver Lining Music.

    Built around a strong hook and an arena-ready chorus, “The Cult Of Ignorance” pairs a catchy hard rock approach with lyrics that reflect modern society while maintaining an upbeat feel.

    The song arrives with a video featuring several well-known guests alongside Europe, including actress Malin Åkerman, former world No. 1 tennis player Stefan Edberg, astronaut Christer FuglesangHowling Pelle of The HivesMikael Åkerfeldt and Fredrik Åkesson of OpethE-Type, and a range of personalities from the worlds of music, film, sports, fashion, and science.

    Frontman Joey Tempest said: “I love this track! It’s a straightforward rock anthem with lyrics reflecting the times we live in, written slightly tongue in cheek. Mic [Michaeli, keyboards] came to me with this song idea while on tour in South America — I thought it was crazy good! We finished it together and it’s become a real banger! The title was inspired by a phrase coined by author and biochemist Isaac Asimov. It reflects some of the negative tendencies emerging in our world today, though it is written in a slightly light-hearted tone.”

    More than four decades into their career, Europe continue to move forward while staying connected to the sound that made them one of Sweden’s most successful hard rock exports. The new album explores themes found throughout songs such as “One On One”, “The Cult Of Ignorance”, and the title track, “Come This Madness”.

    The first single, “One On One”, was released in April and served as the first preview of the band’s latest studio effort. Built around a driving bass line, layered melodies, and a powerful chorus, the track blends classic Europe elements with a modern production style.

    Come This Madness was recorded at RMV Studio in Stockholm and features guest appearances from Tobias Forge of Ghost and Mikael Åkerfeldt of Opeth. Production duties were handled by Tom Dalgety, known for his work with GhostRammsteinPixiesThe Cult, and Opeth. The album was mixed by Mike Fraser, whose résumé includes AC/DCVan HalenMetallicaThe Cult, and Loverboy.

    Speaking about Dalgety‘s involvement, Tempest said: “It was a true pleasure working with Tom. He’s creative, musical, and incredibly intuitive — he really became a sixth member of the band during the writing and recording of this album. We even invited him to co-write on some of the songs.”

    In addition to the album release, Europe are preparing for an extensive touring schedule that includes festival appearances and The Final Countdown 40th-anniversary tour. The trek begins in Glasgow on September 30 and will celebrate one of the band’s most recognizable records while showcasing material from Come This Madness.

    The artwork for Come This Madness was created by Storm Studios, whose previous work includes projects for Pink FloydLed Zeppelin, and Muse.

  • TIM MONTANA Announces New Album Featuring SLASH, JERRY CANTRELL, & BILLY F GIBBONS

    Tim Montana has announced the release of his new album, Entire State Of Tim Montana, arriving July 31 via BMG. The 16-track effort features contributions from several major names in rock, including Jerry Cantrell of Alice In ChainsSlash of Guns N’ Roses, and Billy F Gibbons of ZZ Top. The record also includes appearances from actors Martin SheenCharlie Sheen, and Robert Patrick.

    Alongside the album announcement, Tim Montana has released the second single, “Brown Sugar”, a collaboration featuring Billy F. Gibbons and Slash.

    Discussing the track, Montana said: “Recording ‘Brown Sugar’ with Billy F Gibbons and Slash was a full-circle moment for me. My first brush with music was finding a Guns N’ Roses tape, and later I became a die-hard ZZ Top fan. Billy is like family, and seeing him play ‘Brown Sugar’ at our Wise River Club made me realize it had to be the one. To have these childhood heroes, Billy, who’s become a mentor, and Slash, who lit that early spark on this track with me, is beyond a dream.”

    The album follows the release of “Break Me Down”, the first single from the upcoming record. Driven by heavy guitar riffs and a strong melodic chorus, the song offered an early look at the direction of Montana’s latest material.

    Speaking about Entire State Of Tim Montana, he explained: “This record is a collision of my heroes and my scars, the loudest moments I’ve ever lived and the quiet truths I couldn’t outrun. Don’t worry there’s some fun moments too. It’s not over-polished, it’s not safe, but it’s exactly who I am.”

    Over the past several years, Tim Montana has built a reputation for combining Southern rock influences, hard rock energy, and a blue-collar approach to songwriting. His music often draws from themes of independence, perseverance, and life in the American West, backed by distorted guitars and direct, no-frills hooks.

    His path to success has been anything but conventional. Growing up in Montana under modest circumstances, he eventually relocated to Nashville and worked his way into the music industry. Along the way, he caught the attention of television host David Letterman, who personally invited him to perform on The Late Show With David Letterman.

    Montana also developed a longstanding creative relationship with Billy F. Gibbons, resulting in collaborations such as “This Beard Came Here to Party”, a song adopted by the 2013 World Series champion Boston Red Sox and the Nashville Predators during their 2017 Stanley Cup playoff run. He later co-wrote songs for Kid Rock, including “Tennessee Mountain Top” and “Greatest Show On Earth” from Sweet Southern Sugar, which debuted in the Billboard 200 Top 10.

    His connections within the entertainment world extended beyond music as well. Charlie Sheen publicly supported Montana’s work and later directed the video for “Mostly Stoned”.

    Following the release of Long Shots in 2021, Montana continued incorporating grunge influences into his sound while maintaining a focus on storytelling. With Entire State Of Tim Montana, he brings together hard rock riffs, personal reflections, and contributions from some of the biggest names in the genre, making it one of the most notable releases of his career to date.

  • DEVILDRIVER Shares Music Video For Latest Single “Dead In The Water”

    Devildriver have unveiled “Dead In The Water”, the latest single from their upcoming album Strike And Kill, due out July 10 through Napalm Records.

    The release follows the strong response to the album’s first single, “Dig Your Own Grave”, which surpassed 400,000 streams across platforms, earned regular rotation on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal, and quickly climbed the Metal Contraband charts.

    Built around aggressive drumming, sharp guitar work, and the band’s trademark groove-metal attack, “Dead In The Water” carries a message of perseverance through difficult times. Frontman Dez Fafara described the song as one of the most personal tracks on the record.

    Speaking about the new single, Fafara said: “This is one of the most positive songs I’ve ever written lyrically, coming from a very dark time straight into blinding light. I needed to empower others to do the same as I did and tell them to ‘stay the course,’ life turns around if given the chance to flourish. The vibe musically on this is very old-school Devildriver, and the entire band is cracking hard here. If you’re a long-time listener you’re gonna love this one! Enjoy!”

    The upcoming album features the current Devildriver lineup of Dez Fafara, guitarists Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold, drummer Davier Ortega Perez, and returning founding bassist Jon Miller. According to Fafara, the record reconnects with the heavier elements that helped establish the band’s identity.

    Discussing Strike And Kill, he said: “My headspace hasn’t changed. I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record we focused on ‘getting it all out’ lyrically, and backing those lyrics with savage, relentless music that fuels the heavy California groove like no other. Devildriver has never sounded like any other band; we do our own thing in our own way, and I’m the most proud of that”.

    “I’m so proud of these musicians, this music, and the vibe around this record,” he adds. “Devildriver sounds like no one else out there right now, we are here to strike and kill!”

    Fafara previously explained the meaning behind “Dig Your Own Grave”, saying: “‘Dig Your Own Grave’ is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively ‘digging’ your own grave… it’s that simple. It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there’s the line ‘Six feet ain’t deep enough for you,’ because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you’ve done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at midnight.”

    The album opens with “Dig Your Own Grave” before moving into “Dead In The Water”, while tracks such as “Sanctified In Scars”, “Strike And Kill”, “In The Moonlight”, “Never Coming Home”, “Ride Or Die”, “Headed For The Fall”, “You’re Just A Ghost”, “Summoning Shadows”, “Shut The Silence On”, “Oath Of Iron” and “All Bets Are Off” round out the record.

    In support of the release, Devildriver will launch the Strike And Kill North American Tour 2026 alongside Upon A Burning Body and Ov Sulfur. The trek begins August 14 in San Diego and runs through several major U.S. cities before wrapping up on September 5 in Anaheim, California.

  • ANTHRAX’s CHARLIE BENANTE On “It’s For The Kids” Single: “We Wanted to Release Something That Shows We’re Not Slowing Down”

    In a new interview with Talk Is Jericho, the podcast hosted by wrestling superstar and Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho, Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante discussed the band’s long-awaited 12th studio album, Cursum Perficio, which will be released Sept. 18 via Megaforce in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast in Europe. It is the band’s first record in 10 years since 2016’s For All Kings, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The phrase “Cursum Perficio” is Latin for “My journey has come to an end” or “I complete my journey.”

    Benante said (transcribed by Blabbermouth) about the response to lead single “It’s For The Kids”: “Well, for me, I’ve been waiting so long for this moment because I’ve lived with this song for so long. And I knew once people heard it… You know how it is, man. It’s like when you have a song, and you think it’s really good, but you can’t really… How do you know how good it is until people hear it, and then you get that feedback? And it’s so important, for me at least, to hear that feedback.”

    On why “It’s For The Kids” was chosen as the first single, Benante explained: “The first song, we wanted to release something that really represents the band and shows that we’re not slowing down. We’re hitting as hard as we feel we are. So it was definitely a statement. Someone said this was a love letter to our fans, and when they said that to me, I was, like, ‘You’re right.’ That’s exactly what this is.”

    On why it took a decade to follow up For All Kings, Benante said: “The honest answer I can give is, me personally, I didn’t have it to write. I didn’t feel it. It just wasn’t the right time. I was, like, ‘Well, I don’t have anything to say right now. I don’t think the band has anything to say.’ And then the whole pandemic happened, which we started to actually write before the pandemic, and then that happened, and then that set us back — what? — two years. But a lot of these songs on this record — there’s a song called ‘Target On My Back’ [‘T.O.M.B.’]; that’s from 2015. There’s a lot of stuff that was old that I had, and then there’s some new songs that I felt, ‘This is too good to hold back and wait. I want this out.’”

    Benante described how the songwriting process evolved: “A song like ‘It’s For The Kids’ — I would do these demos and I would put them in a Dropbox, and then Scott [Ian, Anthrax guitarist] would listen to them… I would just do the demo and throw it in there. So all of a sudden, we started to get an abundance of these songs, and then we would get together — me, Scott, and Frankie [Bello, Anthrax bassist] — and kind of play them live. And it was such a great feeling to be back with them and just playing some new songs. If you’re in a band, you kind of know what that feels like. It’s almost like spring training. You’re getting together with the guys again, and you’re doing the thing that you love, but there’s this new vibe happening.”

    Benante spoke movingly about the song “The Long Goodbye”: “For me, it’s a very personal and emotional song. It’s about Scott‘s dad, who had Alzheimer’s. And it’s called ‘The Long Goodbye,’ and that, to me, even when I talk about it, I think about his dad, ’cause I loved his dad. His dad was one of the greatest — just such a great person. And it makes me sad just to think about that whole thing that happened because it brings me back to my parents and stuff like that.”

    Benante also described how the album title came to him: “I was watching this documentary on Marilyn Monroe, and in her home in L.A., in Beverly Hills, she had this tile, this plaque, and it said ‘Cursum Perficio.’ And when I was watching it and the narrator was saying what it was and what it meant, dude, a light just went off in my head. I’m, like, ‘That’s it. That’s the title right there.’”

    On the album cover, Benante said: “I was looking for an artist who did… those old Harry Houdini posters, the way they looked, like a Coney Island type of art. I was watching this magician, David Blaine, doing a docuseries, and after every episode, there was a piece of art that would basically summarize the episode. And when I saw the art, I’m, like, ‘That’s it. That’s exactly the style that I want.’ So I went to the credits, and I found the artist’s name, and we contacted him… It’s a very strange kind of Salvador Dalí-esque type of piece of art. And there are a couple of Easter eggs in the art. I see fans trying to pick it out… but each character on the cover has a backstory too, which will come out later.”

    Cursum Perficio was recorded at Dave Grohl‘s Studio 606 in Los Angeles during 2022 and produced by Jay Ruston and Anthrax. The album will be available in multiple limited formats, including standard CD, black double LP with pop-up gatefold, and various exclusive vinyl variants.

  • THE OCEAN Announces New Album “Solaris”, Shares Lead Single “Light Pollution”

    Post-metal visionaries The Ocean have announced their 12th studio album, Solaris, and shared its lead single, “Light Pollution.” A near-70-minute journey to the stars and back, Solaris is based on the late Soviet filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky‘s masterpiece of the same name, and is described as the most ambitious album of the band’s 25-year career.

    From 2022 to 2025, The Ocean lost two-thirds of its members — the lineup that had made fan-favorite albums Phanerozoic I (2018), Phanerozoic II (2020), and Holocene (2023) gradually disbanded, culminating in a victorious final bow at Hellfest last year. Only founding guitarist, songwriter and lyricist Robin Staps, longtime bassist Mattias Hägerstrand, and new drummer Jordi Farré (also of Crippled Black Phoenix) remained. Rather than call it quits, they rebuilt: Emmanuel Jessua (Hypno5e) and Marco Gennaro joined on guitar, while vocalists Enrico Tiberi and Lane Shi (Elizabeth Colour Wheel, Otay:Onii) stepped in to replace Loïc Rossetti.

    New vocalist Enrico Tiberi sings at the beginning of the song. Orbital motion is not only the gravitationally curved trajectory of a celestial body; in another context — alluding to early scenes in the film Solaris — orbital motion in water refers to the circular or elliptical paths water particles follow as waves pass through, transferring energy without moving the water itself forward.

    “Light Pollution” begins with synth textures that connect seamlessly to its predecessor, Holocene, before gradually picking up momentum and culminating in a towering, slow-burning finale of orchestral grandeur, suffocating heaviness, and subdued rhythmic complexity. The song explores the pitfalls of 21st-century technology and humanity’s growing obsession with simulated reality.

    Pre-order the album here.

    Staps commented: “We’ve witnessed several communication revolutions throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, but have we actually become any better at communicating? Has there really been forward movement, or has the motion been orbital — have we merely been treading water? Light pollution symbolizes the transparency of the postmodern age, permeating everything and everyone. Everything is constantly visible; we’ve lost the darkness to hide in, and with the relentless glare of communication, we’ve also lost our privacy.”

    The music video for “Light Pollution” was directed by filmmaker Craig Murray (Mogwai, Converge) and combines the arrival of new vocalists Lane Shi and Enrico Tiberi with the song’s lyrical themes. Staps described Murray as “a one-man army — every detail of the film exists in his head before he starts to shoot, he’s got hand-drawn sketches of every single scene. He gets up at 6:30 to make molds, shoot and direct, and he’s still up at 2 a.m., gluing tentacles or smearing slime and sand over faces.”

    For the recording of Solaris, the band expanded its creative circle with contributions from Thorsten Quaeschning of Tangerine Dream on modular synthesizers. Jens Bogren, who previously mixed the band’s landmark albums Pelagial, Phanerozoic I, and Phanerozoic II, once again handled mixing and mastering. The full album lineup also includes Orestis Zafiriou (keys), Simen Eifring (trombone), and Jiawei Zhang (vibraphone).

Along with the previously released “Heretic” (featuring Kim Dracula), the track marks the first taste of the band’s upcoming, as-yet-untitled ninth album and debut for Better Noise Music. More details will be announced in due course.

    Maria Brink commented: “With ‘Sleeping with the Enemy’ and our upcoming album, we’re confronting the darkness — whether it’s inside us or external. It’s about looking that darkness in the face and transforming it into empowerment. We feel so exhilarated and ready to show the world what we’ve conjured up.” Elsewhere, Brink also features on the current Eva Under Fire single “Villainous,” which is climbing toward the Top 10 at Active Rock radio.

    In This Moment has been active since 2005, led by Brink (vocals) alongside co-founder and lead guitarist Chris Howorth, bassist Travis Johnson, guitarist Randy Weitzel and drummer Kent Diimmel. The band has amassed over two billion streams globally, earned a Grammy nomination for “The In-Between” (Best Metal Performance, 2020), and placed albums including Black Widow (2014) and Ritual (2017) in the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. Their seventh full-length, Mother (2020), was produced by longtime collaborator Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch). Most recently, the band released their eighth studio album, Godmode (2023, BMG), featuring “The Purge,” a cover of Björk‘s “Army of Me,” “Damaged” (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills) and “I Would Die for You,” which appeared on the John Wick: Chapter 4 soundtrack.
