FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
HUBRIS UNVEIL NIGHTMARISH ANIMATED LYRIC VIDEO FOR “LIGHTLESS LANTERN” FROM NEW ALBUM ACTS OF SEDITION

Buffalo, NY — Underground black metal force Hubris have released a brand new animated lyric video for “Lightless Lantern,” taken from their recently unleashed full-length Acts of Sedition , out now worldwide.
The track comes from what is already being called a modern underground statement piece, a relentless 51-plus minute barrage of extreme black metal fury that continues to push Hubris further into the upper ranks of American USBM intensity. Drawing comparisons to the uncompromising styles of Gorgoroth , 1349 , and Tsjuder , the band’s sound remains razor sharp, violent, and unfiltered.
“Lightless Lantern” is not just a lyric video in the traditional sense. It is a fully realized animated short film created by Daniel Oakes, an industry veteran known for his work on the long running animated series Archer . Built through months of collaboration between Oakes and Hubris songwriter Hellskald, the result is a cinematic descent into dystopian chaos that mirrors the song’s lyrical themes.
The visual narrative plunges into a Nietzschean collapse of order, where humanity is stripped of illusion and replaced by something far more primal. As civilization burns under the weight of its own delusions, the imagery evolves into a direct visual extension of the Acts of Sedition cover art by Santiago Jamarillo of Triple Seis Design.
Musically and visually, “Lightless Lantern” reinforces the central concept of the album: collapse, rebellion, and rebirth through destruction.
Acts of Sedition is available now:

Rock legend Sir Roger Daltrey has confirmed a dynamic line-up of special guests set to join him on the much-anticipated solo trek dubbed – A Great Night Out! Artists include Dan Bern, Jeffrey Gaines, Amy Helm, and Leslie Mendelson will appear on various shows (see schedule below.)

The tour will kick off August 23rd at the Mesa Arts Center in Mesa, AZ, and run through early October, including a rare Daltrey performance at New York City’s The Town Hall on September 27th and wrapping up with two additional shows in Brookville, NY at the Tiles Center on October 2nd and Shelbyville, DE at the Freeman Arts Center on October 3rd (see all dates below.)

The recently knighted rock stalwart will be backed by the same musical lineup he performed with on his 2024 tour, featuring a hand-picked ensemble of musicians. Simon Townshend – guitar, Billy Nicholls – mandolin, Jody Linscott – percussion, Doug Boyle – guitar, John Hogg – Bass, Katie Jacoby – violin, Steve Weston – harmonica, Geraint Watkins – keyboards/accordion, Scott Devours – Drums.

The 2026 dates will spotlight Roger’s unmistakable voice and deep catalog, blending iconic selections from his remarkable solo material, reimagined cover songs and Who rarities. Roger will be building on the momentum of his 2024 performances, which were widely celebrated for their acoustic intimacy, storytelling, and enduring vocal presence, with him also offering up renditions of songs seldom performed live by The Who or Roger Daltrey.

The 2024 tour drew raves, with USA Today commenting, “Put Roger Daltrey on a stage and he’s going to rock” and Forbes calling attention to the casual interplay of songs and stories delivered by a relaxed and funny Roger Daltrey – “witty, charming, and engaging. An absolute masterclass…’’  The upcoming shows promise another fresh, revealing glimpse of the charismatic singer, with more banter and straight-shooting rapport as he continues to reign as one of rock’s most commanding live performers.

Sir Roger comments, “Well it’s one more for the road. After finishing The Who’s final tour of the US, it’s time for me as a solo artist to possibly do the same.  After touring solo with different bands of musicians for the last 17 years, a less grueling life becomes more attractive, I’ll see. With my present line up of nine musicians, I have this opportunity to see your beautiful country and enjoy the hospitality you have shown me over so many years. I’ll be off the backing tracks and always searching for different soundscapes to present the songs. It’s a lot of fun and gives me the chance to have a Great Night Out.”

Roger was honoured with a knighthood, by The Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle, this past December for his contribution to charity and music. Roger launched and curated the Teenage Cancer Trust concerts initiative at the Royal Albert Hall which has raised millions for the charity over the past 25 years.

Kiss have unveiled a packed schedule of activities for the second edition of KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas, which returns to Virgin Hotels Las Vegas from November 13-15.

The event follows last year’s successful debut, which attracted fans from all 50 U.S. states and 32 countries. Created in partnership with co-producers Pophouse, Vibee and Topeka, the gathering will once again bring members of the Kiss Army together for a weekend centered around the band’s legacy and its members.

One of the biggest draws is that KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas will feature the only live Kiss performances scheduled anywhere in the world during 2026. Attendees will also have opportunities to interact with Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer through a variety of exclusive fan experiences.

Among the newly announced activities is “Gene Simmons’s Private KISS Collection Show & Tell”, where Gene Simmons will showcase rare memorabilia and share stories from his personal archive alongside “KISSbySienna” host Sienna Hernandez.

Food will take center stage during “Paul Stanley’s KISS Cook-Off”, which sees Paul Stanley preparing one of his signature dishes while fans attempt to recreate it with assistance from Chef Colin. Participants will compete for the title of Cook-Off champion.

Music fans can step into the spotlight during “Tommy Thayer’s KISS Army Live Band Karaoke”. The event will feature Tommy Thayer on guitar, backed by Ace Frehley‘s solo band, while attendees perform classic Kiss songs and hear stories behind some of the band’s most recognizable riffs and tracks.

Meanwhile, “Eric Singer’s KISS Kruiser Drum Off + Q&A” will give fans the opportunity to sit behind the drum kit and compete in a guest drum challenge judged by Eric Singer. The session will also include a fan Q&A moderated by Modern Drummer’s David Frangioni.

Last year’s event featured acoustic and electric performances from Kiss, marking the band’s first live appearances together since ending its farewell tour in 2023. Fans also attended question-and-answer sessions with all four members, longtime manager Doc McGhee, producers Bob Ezrin and Eddie Kramer, photographer Lynn Goldsmith, and Kiss Army founders Bill Starkey and Jay Evans.

Building on those experiences, organizers are introducing an expanded “KISSperience” this year. The program will include artist panels, Q&A sessions, a Kiss look-alike contest, karaoke events, “Ask Doc” sessions with Doc McGhee, meet-and-greets, late-night DJs, interactive exhibits, merchandise shopping opportunities and a “Future Of KISS” panel. Renowned Kiss photographer Barry Levine is also scheduled to appear.

The weekend will feature two unmasked performances from Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer, giving fans a rare chance to see the band in a smaller setting.

Additional performances will include an Ace Frehley all-star tribute featuring guest appearances from members of Kiss and other surprise performers. The lineup also includes Night Ranger, former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick, Slaughter, Faster Pussycat, Keel, and Chris Jericho‘s Kiss tribute band Kuarantine. Other appearances will come from the Rock And Roll Over Kiss tribute band, radio personality Tommy London, and School Of Rock.

Festivities begin on November 12 with an official pre-party featuring Enuff Z’Nuff, the Ace Frehley Band performing a “Tribute To Ace”, including material from Rock And Roll Over, and Beasto Blanco, fronted by longtime Alice Cooper bassist Chuck Garric.

The event also serves as a celebration of the 50th anniversary of Rock And Roll Over, one of Kiss‘s most successful releases.

More activities are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. Fans purchasing packages will receive access to performances, premium theater seating, exclusive Kiss gifts and other benefits. A limited number of packages will also include photo opportunities with members of the band.

Tickets go on sale May 5, while Kiss Army VIP members will receive access to a special pre-sale beginning April 30. Previous KISS Kruise attendees and Kiss Army members will also receive early access before general ticket sales open.

The Las Vegas event follows 11 previous Kiss-branded cruises that departed from Los Angeles, Miami and New Orleans. Last year’s transition from KISS Army Storms Vegas to KISS Kruise: Land-Locked In Vegas marked a new chapter for the fan gathering, celebrating both the band’s 50-year history and the 50th anniversary of the Kiss Army. The 2025 edition featured unmasked performances from Kiss alongside appearances from Quiet Riot, Stephen Pearcy, Warren DeMartini, Bruce Kulick, Sebastian Bach, Black ‘N Blue, Kuarantine, School Of Rock and others.

There’s a surfeit of post-punk bands these days; it can be hard to stand out. That’s not a problem for Sweeping Promises, though. The first You Say I Romanticize single “Shooting Shadows” was a memorable banger, and its followup “Cocoon” is even better.
