  • SIX STRING REVOLVER Unleashes Hard-Hitting New Single and Video “Sick Mind” – @thebeast

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    SIX STRING REVOLVER Unleashes Hard-Hitting New Single and Video “Sick Mind”
    Southern Utah Hard Rock Powerhouse Takes a Stand Against Internet Predators With an Unapologetic New Anthem

    HURRICANE, UT – August 25, 2026 – American hard rock powerhouse SIX STRING REVOLVER is turning up the volume and shining a light into some of the darkest corners of the internet with the release of their powerful new single and video, “Sick Mind,” available now via Ragebreed Records and Earache Digital Distribution .
    Released August 21, “Sick Mind” is more than another hard rock anthem. It is a direct confrontation of internet predators and sexual deviants who hide behind screens while exploiting vulnerable people. With its heavy riffs, thunderous groove, commanding vocals, and unapologetic message, SIX STRING REVOLVER delivers a song designed not only to make listeners move, but to make them pay attention.


    “Sick Mind” is a statement song confronting internet predators and sexual deviants who hide behind screens to exploit others. This song was written to expose the predators who perpetrate these heinous acts and to shine a light into some of the darkest corners of the internet.


    The band continues:


    “When we witness evil in this world, we believe we have a responsibility to speak up and expose it. Six String Revolver will never hesitate to stand against abuse, exploitation, or those who prey upon the innocent.”


    Musically, “Sick Mind” captures everything SIX STRING REVOLVER stands for: loud guitars, honest lyrics, massive grooves, and the kind of hard rock attitude that refuses to disappear. The band combines classic rock swagger with modern intensity, creating a sound that feels equally at home blasting from a stage or through a pair of headphones.
    The track was produced by Peggy Foster and Robert Cantu and mixed by Tom Chandler at Elite Studios in Hollywood, California .
    A HARD ROCK FORCE BUILT ON EXPERIENCE

    Based in Hurricane, Utah, SIX STRING REVOLVER has quickly established itself as a Southern Utah hard rock force built on grit, soul, musicianship, and an old-school commitment to putting on a killer rock show.
    At the front of the band is Raven Cain , whose life story and musical career have shaped him into the charismatic driving force behind SIX STRING REVOLVER. A vocalist, occasional guitarist, songwriter, and veteran touring musician, Cain has performed alongside major acts including Henry Rollins, L.A. Guns, Sevendust, Ratt, Saliva, Faster Pussycat, BulletBoys, and Hed PE .
    Cain’s career has also included work with major labels including Universal Music Group, multiple #1 hits on the 365 Music Charts, and appearances as the subject of books, television programs, and educational films. His soulful delivery and introspective, hard-hitting songwriting provide the emotional core of SIX STRING REVOLVER.
    On lead guitar, Hawkeye Pearce brings years of experience, technical firepower, and arena-sized melodic instincts to the band. Pearce has opened for legendary artists including Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar, Great White, Nazareth, and Rick Derringer , while also performing with a Las Vegas Best Entertainer-nominated act.
    Bill “Ash” Dent anchors the low end with a combination of precision, power, and decades of experience as a bassist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, session musician, and audio engineer. His massive grooves provide the foundation for the band’s relentless sound.
    Behind the kit is Robert “Monster” Cantu , a high-octane drummer whose influences range from John Bonham, Buddy Rich, and Peter Criss to modern masters Mike Mangini and Matt Garstka. A veteran of venues including the Whisky a Go Go, The Troubadour, The Roxy, and Galaxy Theatre, Cantu has toured extensively and shared bills with King’s X, Fates Warning, and George Lynch .
    Together, these four seasoned musicians have created a band that is less interested in following trends and more interested in keeping real rock music alive.
    SIX STRING REVOLVER doesn’t follow trends. They load the chamber, pull the trigger, and let the music speak.

  • Lifesick Unleashes Annihilating New Video/Single, “Hard to Kill”

    – September 2nd, 2026 –

    Danish death/metallic hardcore practitioners LIFESICK today unleash their new stand alone single, “Hard To Kill,” a ceaselessly riotous auditory torrent that embodies the band’s celebrated ferocity.

    Issues the band, “‘Hard To Kill’ blends a groovy death metal-inspired riff with fast hardcore energy before collapsing into a series of crushing breakdowns, closing with the statement ‘Hard to Kill!’ Lyrically, it’s pure defiance shaped by pain but impossible to break.”

    Watch LIFESICK‘s video for “Hard To Kill” HERE.

    Watch the band’s previously released videos for “Die With Me” HERE and “At War With You” HERE.

    LIFESICK was forged in 2014 by guitarists Nikolai Lund and Nicolai Lindegaard following the dissolution of their previous band, No Love. Created with a vision of delivering a more uncompromising and aggressive sound, the band quickly established itself within the Scandinavian hardcore scene.

    The band’s name, suggested by vocalist Simon Shoshan, was inspired by life’s hardships and the challenges people face throughout their lives – a theme that continues to influence LIFESICK‘s music and identity.

    Blending metallic hardcore, beatdown, and hardcore punk, LIFESICK is notorious for its intense live performances, crushing sound, and emotionally charged songwriting. Since their formation, the band has toured extensively and built a strong reputation through a series of hard-hitting releases exploring themes of struggle, conflict, and perseverance.

    Stand by for more news on LIFESICK in the weeks to come.

  • “Shared generational trauma was the only thing that was ever going to come out of us.” How djent, gospel and personal turmoil inspired the UK’s most exciting new post-hardcore band

    In a scene where bands increasingly write in clichés, Love Rarely’s authenticity cuts through like razor wire. Hailing from Leeds and combining math rock with elements of djent, gospel and hardcore, right from their inception, this quintet vowed that their music would always be authentic.

    “Shared generational trauma was the only thing that was ever going to come out of us, really,” explains guitarist and vocalist Lew Taylor. “Otherwise, you’re just writing love songs.”

    Across 12 tracks, debut album Pain Travels bravely unpacks Love Rarely’s experiences of growing up in volatile households, unflinchingly navigating the complexities of living under the shadow of addiction. But you probably won’t parse this underlying darkness on first listen.

    Music always was seen as a coping mechanism – or escape – from chaos

    Dan Dewsnap

    Album opener Will confidently veers from djent-ridden groove to hip-shaking R’n’B with joyous abandon, the interplay between Lew’s soulful croon and lead vocalist CJ Levitt’s anguished cries taking the listener on a thrillingly unpredictable sonic journey.

    “Music always was seen as a coping mechanism – or escape – from that sort of chaos,” says guitarist Dan Dewsnap.

    After heading out on a nine-date UK tour with The Callous Daoboys and turning heads at 2000trees, their singular sound has swiftly found an audience. It’s a reaction that this five-piece are still trying to wrap their heads around.

    “We’re from a time where you do a band for 10 years and don’t really get anywhere,” says Lew. “In my old band, we got to a point where we’d get enough money to cover fuel, and that was it. But we came to do Love Rarely anyway, because we simply had to write this music… we just never thought that people would be that bothered.”

    “I really didn’t think it was possible to even break through without having a rich dad,” adds CJ.

    Pain Travels is out now via Big Scary Monsters.

    The anonymous, cult-beloved South Korean shoegaze auteur known as Parannoul has made a lot of music over the past few years, but he has been relatively quiet in 2026 — nothing since the one-off track “연말 다짐 (New Year’s Resolutions)” in early January. But the same artist also makes music under the alter-egos Huremic and Mydreamfever, and now he’s got a new Huremic record out in the world, following last year’s Seeking Darkness and the compilation track “3.”

  • GDP Announces New Album Cross Off Matthew: Hear “Island In The Sky”

    The New Jersey artist Matthew Miller has been releasing music under the name GDP for nearly two decades, but he was off the radar for quite a while. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, GDP found a lane for himself making skate-rap on the punk/emo/indie label Run For Cover, at a time when RFC was helping the emo revival pop off. But eventually, he turned his attention to other concerns, mostly related to film and photography.
