  • Check out the title-track for the new Darkthrone album, Pre-Historic Metal

    Norwegian black metal legends Darkthrone have announced that they’ll be releasing their 22nd album, Pre-Historic Metal, on May 8, and shared the title-track. 

    With a cover featuring drummer Fenriz going metal with a gardening fork, and arriving as the band celebrate their 40th year, they promise a primitive, barbaric record.

    Prehistoric is a loose term,” asserts Fenriz. I just figure it’s our vibe, our take on things and it’s more a statement that we use old style to create something new.

    It means that we are metal. With very loud guitars. Frightfully barbaric but not without finesse’, I call it. We collaborated in the studio more than ever, who’s playing what is still in a purple haze, but last but not least it was a sort of hardening of the arteries. We decided to tighten the tourniquet and do eight effective songs brimming with riffs instead of the airy plodding we so much enjoy usually.”

    Check out what he means in the title-track!

    Check out the Pre-Historic Metal tracklisting:

    1. They Found One Of My Graves
    2. Pre-Historic Metal
    3. Siberian Thaw
    4. Deeply Rooted
    5. The Dry Wells Of Hell
    6. So I Marched To The Sunken Empire
    7. Eat Eat Eat Your Pride

  • Neurosis have reunited and surprise-released a new album, An Undying Love For A Burning World

    A decade since their latest album, and seven years since they last played live, Oakland post-metal legends Neurosis have returned with a surprise full-length, and live plans for the future. 

    This afternoon, they dropped An Undying Love For A Burning World in full on DSPs, with the physical release to follow. It’s the band’s first activity since 2019, and a rebirth after the firing of frontman Scott Kelly in 2022 following his admission of domestic abuse, after which they effectively split. The revamped version of the band features Aaron Turner of Isis and Jesu on guitar and vocals.

    We need this, perhaps more than ever, and we suspect we are not alone,” they say. The trials and tribulations in our personal lives and as a band, combined with simply trying to navigate the insanity of our society, with the stress, anxiety and isolation that come with it can be excruciating. Add to that the existential confusion and sorrow of the climate crisis and the sixth mass extinction. It is enough to cause you to completely lose your mind if you can’t find release or catharsis. 

    This strange emotionally charged music has always been our method of trying to survive this and this is what we’ve always been singing about. When you have spent a lifetime engaged with these energies and utilising this form of expression to purge and purify, it feels detrimental to our well being to let it sit idle and neglected. This was now or never.”

    On the addition of Aaron to the ranks – alongside guitarist/singer Steve Von Till, drummer Jason Roeder, bassist Dave Edwardson and keyboard player Noah Landis – the band say that, He came straight out of the gate contributing, writing and presenting ideas. His energy matches ours perfectly. It’s as if he was always meant to be there.”

    From the moment I first heard Neurosis over 30 years ago, I felt this was the music my heart and mind had been seeking but not yet heard,” adds Aaron. Now after many years travelling along various musical paths of my own, the singular sound and spirit embodied by Neurosis continues to speak to the depths of my being. It is an honour and a true pleasure to have been welcomed so warmly into a band that not only shaped my perspective on the limitless possibilities of music – but has lived and exemplified the necessity of upholding creative integrity and camaraderie above all else.”

    Alongside the new music, Neurosis have also announced their return to the stage at Montana’s Fire In The Mountains Festival in July. As well as hosting a bill featuring them as headliners, YOB, Enslaved, Baroness, Full Of Hell and more, the fest works with Firekeeper Alliance, a non-profit dedicated to reducing youth suicide in Indian Country.

    I cannot think of a more appropriate environment for us to return to the stage,” says Steve Von Till, a man also active with Firekeeper Alliance. Last year’s Fire In The Mountains festival was the most profound music event I have ever been a part of. The weekend took on a healing, cathartic ceremonial nature that is difficult to put into words. Using emotionally heavy music to build community and collectively stare darkness in the eye is something we have always believed in, but using it to directly address the heartbreaking reality of suicide, grief, loss and trauma is taking it to another level.”

  • Cowboy Hunters Release Brilliantly Brash New EP ‘EPeepee’

    Cowboy Hunters are the sort of band that only come along once, and their new EP showcases why their existence should make you very excited.

    Titled ‘EPeepee‘, it is five songs of rough, rowdy and ridiculously bold rock and roll, straight out of the heart of Glasgow. As witty as it is wild, it is a vivid portrait of modern life delivered with a tongue firmly planted in cheek and no stone left unturned. From the wondrous takedown of racist ideals at the core of ‘Shag Slags Not Flags’ to the whizz and bang at the heart of ‘Dust Cap’, all the way through to pit-swelling intent of ‘Cuntry Gurl’, there is a bit of chaos for everybody in here.

    Embodying everything that alternative music born in this side of the world should, it’s a step up to the plate as much as it is an excuse to swing from a few chandeliers.

    Have a listen below.


    The band are set to play a few shows and a few festivals in the coming months. Here are all the dates you need to know.

  • Poison The Well Drop Music Video for “Weeping Tones”

    ptw_band26

    Today marks the release of Poison The Well‘s latest album Peace In Place and as such, they dropped a new music video for the next single “Weeping Tones”.

    When speaking about the new single, singer Jeffrey Moreira said it’s all about the struggle of trying to be yourself when the world around you is trying to get you to do the opposite.

    “There’s a quiet loss of control that comes from feeling like you can’t fully be yourself anymore. When you have to shrink who you are just to avoid judgment or conflict, it starts to feel like something is being taken from you. That’s what ‘Weeping Tones’ is about.

    “This video reflects that struggle, but it also holds onto something stronger — the one thing no one can take from you: Your ability to give your love and energy to the people who matter most. No matter how heavy the world gets, no matter how much it tries to pull you apart, you can always choose to keep walking until you reach what matters most — hold it close, and never let go.”

    Peace In Place is available right now wherever you get your music. You can also catch Poison The Well live at any of the dates listed below.

  • Neurosis Drop First Album In 10 Years With Surprise Release And Major Lineup Shift

    neurosis-band-2026

    What Is Neurosis’ New Album And Why Is It A Big Deal?

    Neurosis have released their first album in a decade, introducing new material alongside the addition of Aaron Turner, marking a significant evolution in the band’s sound and lineup.

    TL;DR

    • Neurosis release first album in 10 years
    • New record titled An Undying Love For A Burning World
    • Aaron Turner joins on vocals and guitar
    • Album recorded and finished shortly before release
    • First live performance in seven years confirmed

    Neurosis don’t operate on normal timelines, and this release reinforces that.

    After years without new material, the band has returned without buildup or warning—dropping a full-length record that immediately resets attention around their next phase.

    The Release Arrived Without A Traditional Rollout

    There was no extended campaign leading into this.

    The album surfaced with little advance notice, landing fully formed rather than being introduced piece by piece. That approach reflects how the band has always moved—driven more by internal timing than industry pacing.

    Fans interested in upcoming metal shows can explore current ticket listings here.

    Aaron Turner Steps Into The Fold

    One of the most significant developments is the addition of Aaron Turner.

    Known for his work with ISIS and SUMAC, Turner brings a style that naturally aligns with Neurosis’ foundation. His role goes beyond collaboration, contributing directly to writing and shaping the material from the outset.

    This changes the dynamic moving forward.

    The Album Leans Into Scale And Atmosphere

    The new material continues the band’s approach to long-form composition.

    Tracks expand gradually, moving between:

    • dense, crushing passages
    • restrained, atmospheric sections
    • extended builds that resolve with impact

    The closing piece stretches close to seventeen minutes, reinforcing how committed the band remains to immersive songwriting.

    The Themes Reflect Pressure And Release

    The band describes the album as something that needed to exist.

    The writing draws from:

    • personal strain
    • societal instability
    • environmental anxiety

    These elements shape the tone of the record, giving it weight beyond just sound.

    A Return To The Stage After Years Away

    The band is also set to perform for the first time in seven years at Fire In The Mountains festival.

    The location and intent of that event align closely with the band’s long-standing focus on connection, environment, and shared experience.

    For those planning to attend heavy music festivals this year, current ticket options can be explored here.

    What This Return Signals

    Neurosis have never framed their output as a cycle of releases.

    Their work tends to arrive when it needs to—and that pattern continues here.

    This album doesn’t revisit past eras.

    It extends them.

    Do you see this as a continuation of their legacy, or the start of something different?
