Finnish modern metal force Blind Channel unleash “Into The Void”, the final standalone single ahead of their highly anticipated new studio album Painstream, out October 30th via Century Media Records.

Featuring Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men, “Into The Void” sees Blind Channel turn their attention far beyond Earth while confronting a distinctly human question: what if we really are alone? Against a crushing, high-impact backdrop, Blind Channel transform that cosmic uncertainty into something painfully immediate: if nobody is coming to save us, the future of our only home is entirely in our own hands.

With Pauley’s commanding vocals adding further weight and contrast, “Into The Void” offers another formidable glimpse into Painstream.

Blind Channel comment: “‘Into The Void’ is our final standalone single from the upcoming Painstream album before the whole thing drops. The song was inspired by the Fermi Paradox and the Wow! signal. If Earth really is the only place in the universe where life exists, we’re not exactly doing a great job of sustaining it.

Aaron from Of Mice & Men jumped aboard for this one and made sure the moshpits will suck people in like black holes.” Aaron Pauley comments: “I’m honored to feature on this track – it’s an absolute banger! Had a lot of fun working on it & I’m excited for the world to hear it.”

After 1.5 years of deliberate silence, Blind Channel returned earlier this year to open a new chapter with the announcement of their sixth studio album, Painstream. Across its 12 tracks, the album navigates the pain of growth, sharp self-reflection and explosive energy, pushing the band’s sound into new territory while retaining the intensity that has defined them.

Painstream will be released on October 30th via Century Media Records and is available for pre-order now in the following formats:

• Ltd. CD Digipak
• Ltd. CD Digipak – The 500 Frames Edition (limited edition with 1 of 500 unique Polaroids, shot by the band)
• Standard CD Jewelcase (US & Japanese versions)
• black LP
• Ltd. transp. coke bottle green LP
• Ltd. black-white marbled LP (exclusively available at blindchannelofficial.com)
• Digital album

Today, Jim Peterik & World Stage proudly share their new single, “Everest (featuring Toby Hitchcock and Bree Gordon),” taken from the upcoming new album, River of Music: The Power of Duets Vol. 2, set for release on December 4th via Frontiers Music Srl.

Jim Peterik shares: “’Everest’ is one of my favorite tracks from The Power Of Duets Volume 2. It features the amazing vocal chemistry between Toby Hitchcock of Pride of Lions and the powerful voice of Bree Gordon. ‘Everest’ is about the challenges we face every day- the mountains we climb- the rivers we cross- the set backs we all face each and every day. When we make it back alive we will live to fight another day. And try and make the world a better place.”

Few songwriters in the history of American rock have left a legacy as enduring as Jim Peterik. From timeless anthems such as “Eye of the Tiger,” “Burning Heart,” “High On You,” “Vehicle” and “Caught Up In You” to countless collaborations spanning generations of artists, Peterik has always understood that great music begins with great songs—and great voices.

With River Of Music – The Power Of Duets Vol. 2, Jim Peterik & World Stage return with a remarkable collection celebrating the magic that happens when exceptional singers come together in service of unforgettable melodies.

Produced by legendary producer Ron Nevison (Led Zeppelin, Heart, Bad Company, Survivor) and featuring an all-star cast of musicians including Phil X, Tony Franklin, Kim Bullard, Denny Fongheiser, and more, the album showcases ten powerful performances that blend soaring AOR, melodic rock, heartfelt balladry and Peterik‘s unmistakable gift for storytelling.

At the heart of the album is a series of inspired vocal pairings featuring Jim Peterik alongside an outstanding lineup of guest singers including Bree Gordon, Cathy Richardson, Kaity Heart, Tony Hitchcock, Dave Mikulskis, and Colin Peterik. From the nostalgic warmth of “Back In The Day” and “Trains,” to the uplifting power of “Everest,” “The Best In Us” and “The Power Of Two,” each song captures a unique emotional connection while remaining unmistakably rooted in the classic melodic sensibilities that have defined Peterik‘s extraordinary career.

Elegant, uplifting, and filled with world-class musicianship, River Of Music – The Power Of Duets Vol. 2 is more than a collection of songs—it’s a celebration of friendship, collaboration and the enduring power of melody. For fans of classic AOR and melodic rock, this is another essential chapter in the ever-evolving World Stage story.
