Danish metal outfit, GRADIENCE has dropped their latest video, “Vermin.” The track comes off the band’s debut full-length, Anomaly, out now on Metal Blade Records.
Guitarist/vocalist Jakob Harris comments, “‘Vermin’ is the opener for our album Anomaly, for good reason. It encapsulates everything the album represents in a flurry of riffs, rap bars, melancholic melodies and screams. It’s a personal favorite on the album for me.”
Watch GRADIENCE’s previously released videos for “Agony,” “Deathwish,” “Master To The Slave,” “White Noise,” and “Undone” HERE.
GRADIENCE has announced an eight-date debut UK tour with Survivalist starting in Huddersfield on March 2nd, 2027.

We’ve drawn so much inspiration from UK bands over the years, and many of those influences found their way into the writing and sound of Anomaly. To finally bring the album to the UK and play these songs for the audience that comes from such a huge part of our musical inspiration is incredibly exciting. And we’re stoked to be doing it alongside our friends in Survivalist!”

On the inaugural full-length from this shrewdly named Danish duo, the usually clear-cut boundary between apocalyptic, sludgy blackened death metal and dark urban trap-rap is thrillingly pulverized. Lines of musical convention are further blurred by disarmingly emotive and intimate vocal lines, and a vibrant sound picture heaving with glacial synths and hypnotic sonic details. At first, it might daunt and confuse those who like their boundaries clear-cut, but at the heart of GRADIENCE‘s brash and radical new sound is an authentic and heartwarming new friendship.
Anomaly is available now on CD, LP and digital formats. Preview/purchase the record at metalblade.com/gradience.

In 2022, vocalist Gavin Mistry and guitarist Jakob Lærke Harris struck up an immediate creative rapport at a Copenhagen show for local deathcore heroes Cabal. Gavin had been signed to Sony in Denmark with his “grunge/rock/trap duo” KXDS – a project stymied by the COVID disaster. Before that, he’d been involved with an underground hip-hop label/collective. “I had gained a little performance experience and was known as the authentic trap-rapper with emotional and melodic bits,” says Gavin.
His efforts attracted the ear of Jakob, who knew he’d found a kindred soul, with a voice that he was keen to work with. “It was an immediate musical and creative match,” enthuses Jakob. “I admired Gavin’s vivid lyrics and his ease, switching between delicate melody lines and hard flows; it just opened so many doors to explore in the songwriting process.”
GRADIENCE audibly generates real “planets aligning” energy. The tension and turbulence of Jakob’s extreme metal growl finds counterintuitive new context alongside Gavin’s fierce rhythms and rhymes, further enlivened by the spontaneous crackle to the performances, not least drummer Frederik Kjelstrup Hansen’s and bassist Patrick Petersen’s hammering rhythm section.
American rock titans Aerosmith, who announced their return to live action earlier this month, have shared several photographs taken during rehearsals for the shows.
Alongside the images (below), which were shot by legendary rock photographer Ross Halfin and show drummer Joey Kramer resuming his place behind the drum kit, the band write, “The Bad Boys from Boston are back. Who’s coming to the Hollywood Bowl next week?”
Aerosmith are scheduled to perform a pair of California, Dream On: Aerosmith & Friends shows at the Bowl on October 29 and November 1, with an impressive supporting cast in place.
Joining the band will be Guns N’ Roses, Black Crowes, RUN DMC, Heart, Andrew Watt, Billy Idol, Chad Smith (RHCP), Duff McKagan (GN’R), Eric Church, Jerry Cantrell (Alice in Chains), Marcus King, Mike Inez (Alice In Chains), Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme), Pat Monahan (Train), Sammy Hagar, Slash (GN’R), Steve Stevens, Sully Erna (Godsmack), Tom Morello, Adam Wakeman, Audley Freed and Kenny Aronoff, with Don Was acting as musical director.
It is understood that the line-ups will vary by night, and that other guests will be announced.
Drummer Joey Kramer hasn’t played with the band since their Deuces Are Wild residency in Las Vegas, Nevada, in early 2020, while Aerosmith themselves haven’t performed live since abandoning their Peace Out…Farewell Tour in September 2023 after frontman Steven Tyler sustained a fractured larynx.
At the time of writing, tickets are still available for the October 29 show, ranging in price from $335 for standard tickets to $660 for Platinum seats. The November 1 performance is sold out, with resale tickets available.
Wolves in the Throne Room return with a new album and make a huge leap through time—at least conceptually.

Rock legends The Rolling Stones have released a new single. Who You Callin’ Crazy, a breezy, upbeat affair powered by saxophonist Courtney Pine, comes from Foreign Tongues, Loose Lips, the upcoming expanded deluxe edition of their current album Foreign Tongues.
The deluxe set includes four previously unreleased recordings. In addition to Who You Callin’ Crazy, there’s Where There’s A Will (featuring Steve Winwood on organ), Human Tide, and She Still Comes Around.
A fifth “new” song, Bad Luck Hideaway (a duet by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards featuring drums by the late Charlie Watts), first appeared as a bonus track on the iTunes edition of Foreign Tongues, and then as the B-side to the recent Stones single Mr Charm.
Who You Callin’ Crazy was premiered by BBC Radio 2 DJ Vernon Kay, the lucky recipient of a voice note from Stones’ singer Mick Jagger.
“Hi Vernon, it’s Mick here,” said Jagger. “I’m excited for you to press play for the first time on Who You Calling Crazy on BBC Radio 2. It’s The Rolling Stones’ new single, so I hope you like it. Bye!”
Foreign Tongues, the band’s 25th British studio album, was released in July, and was produced by the in-demand Andrew Watt, who has also worked with Ozzy Osbourne, Iggy Pop, Pearl Jam and Paul McCartney, swiftly developing a reputation as the go-to guy for bands wishing to recapture some of their youthful zest.
Foreign Tongues, Loose Lips will be released on November 27 as a standalone vinyl edition, a deluxe 2CD edition, and across digital formats. The standalone vinyl edition features all five Loose Lips recordings on LP, alongside a CD of the original Foreign Tongues album. The 2CD edition includes the original 14-track Foreign Tongues album on CD1 and the five Loose Lips recordings on CD2.

Since forming in 1992, Everclear has enjoyed a lengthy career by any measure, spanning 11 studio releases, including four that have been certified Gold or Platinum, selling over 6 million records, and achieving 12 Top 40 Hit Singles on Mainstream Rock, Alternative, and Adult Top 40 radio, including “Santa Monica,” “Father of Mine,” “I Will Buy You A New Life,” “Wonderful” and “Everything To Everyone,” as well as numerous videos, thousands of shows, and various other accolades, including a 1998 GRAMMY nomination. The band’s 1993 debut album, World Of Noise, released on the Portland independent label Tim/Kerr Records, paired with their significant efforts to break into college radio and the buzz they’d created within the Portland music scene, attracted the attention of major labels, including Capitol Records, which signed the group soon after. Beginning with their major label debut, 1995’s platinum-selling album Sparkle and Fade, and its massive chart-topping hit “Santa Monica,” Everclear was soon a household name and catapulted into the masses. To celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary in 2022, Everclear reissued World Of Noise as a special remastered, deluxe edition, making the album available for the first time on digital streaming platforms with 6 bonus songs in addition to its original 12 tracks. Adding to the celebrations that year, Everclear released a commemorative anniversary video “Everclear – 30 Years Gone: A Retrospective,” hosted by former MTV VJ, current radio host and longtime friend Matt Pinfield – PRESS HERE to watch.
In 2023, Everclear released their first official live album, Live at The Whisky a Go Go (Sunset Blvd Records), showcasing the band’s acclaimed and energetic live performance. The 17-track collection features the live recording of the Los Angeles show on Everclear’s 30th Anniversary Tour, showcasing the hits and hidden treasures from throughout the band’s extraordinary catalog as well as two new bonus studio tracks: “Sing Away,” a powerful single addressing teen suicide, and their 2022 politically-charged single “Year Of The Tiger.” Continuing to celebrate their acclaimed career and provide the band’s dedicated fanbase with long-awaited content, Everclear released their platinum-selling album Songs From AnAmerican Movie Vol. One on vinyl for the first time ever in 2024 via Intervention Records and released the Sparkle and Fade 30th Anniversary Remastered Deluxe Edition in 2025 on vinyl and streaming platforms via Universal Music Group, an expanded edition featuring bonus content pulled from the vault.
In addition to his thousands of Everclear performances over the band’s lengthy career, Alexakis released his first solo album, Sun Songs, in 2019. That same year, Alexakis revealed his diagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS) and has since donated one dollar from every ticket purchased for his performances to charities such as Sweet Relief Musicians Fund and National MS Society. The now 64-year-old shows no signs of slowing down and, more than three decades later, Everclear’s enduring legacy and ongoing appeal as a live band continues.
Everclear is: Art Alexakis (vocals, guitar), Davey French (guitar), Freddy Herrera (bass), Brian Nolan (drums).
