Maple’s Pet Dinosaur, the teenage metal sensation from down under, have announced the details of a new EP called ‘Child’s Play’ and unveiled the title track.
The track itself is an absolute bruiser. A hard-hitting riff-filled and violent piece of horror movie metal that not only showcases the personality and fun-loving nature of the band but also what incredible musicians they are.
Maple had this to say about the song’s intentions:
“I thought it would be fun to fuse Ariana Grande or Xtina-style vocal runs over something really dirty and heavy. I love exploring new ideas inside heavy, alt-metal – or whatever people want to define my genre as.”
And it will appear on an EP also called ‘Child’s Play’, which will be released on October 30 via their new label Warner.
Maple had this to say about the signing:
Signing a global deal with Warner and In Bloom ahead of my debut EP ‘Child’s Play’ is a dream come true. Dan and the team at Warner in Australia have confidently empowered my creative vision and process at home, while Johnny’s A&R chops and personal support coupled with his team at In Bloom’s global footprint puts me in a great position to spread the project internationally. I’m genuinely grateful for this level of belief from one of the best labels in the world and I can’t wait to see what we will be able to do together – this will be fun!”
Whilst Johnny Minardi, SVP, A&R Atlantic Music Group, had this to add:
“Maple’s music felt special from the very first listen. Thankfully, she had a handful of new songs that painted a complete picture of her unique creative vision. She’s a true force of nature, with a rare combination of talent, conviction, and relentless drive. We’re thrilled to help bring the world of Maple’s Pet Dinosaur to many many more people!”
The artwork looks like this:
And the tracklisting is like this:

Imminence have shared a new track titled ‘If Not Now, When’, further developing the expansive audio and visual universe of their upcoming album ‘Axis Mundi’.
The track feels like an extra string in the band’s ever-blossoming bow, adding in layers of Deftones-esque tranquility and ambience, whilst still being defined by the caustic metalcore and beautiful violins that help to define the band.
It’s delicate, patient and compelling, an added layer of the intrigue and magic that is revealing itself to be a defining factor of this era.
Plus, you need to see the dog that steals the show in the latest chapter of the album’s visual tale.
