‘New Self’ is its name, and it will be released on June 12. It follows on from 2022’s ‘Bellevue’ and is the band’s first body of work since their return from hiatus, which began in 2023 and continued until late 2024.

They have also shared the title track, and it’s going to be stuck in your head instantly. A self-referential, bizarre piece of bleary-eyed storytelling, it’s a song that embodies every era of punk brilliantly. Just snotty enough, just savage enough, just sincere enough. It’s a reawakening as much as it is a raucous escape.

What Is The Blood4Blood Event Featuring Alex Terrible?

Blood4Blood is a new hybrid event combining bare-knuckle fighting and live metal performances, headlined by Alex Terrible both as a fighter and as the frontman of Slaughter To Prevail.

TL;DR:

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has partnered with Danny Wimmer Presents to launch Blood4Blood, a new combat sports and heavy music event created by Slaughter To Prevail vocalist Alex Terrible. The May 6 event in Daytona Beach will feature four bare-knuckle fights and four live bands — with Alex Terrible fighting Cameron “The Bull” Delano and performing with Slaughter To Prevail the same night.

I’ve covered metal festivals and fight promotions long enough to know when something genuinely different shows up on the calendar.

This one definitely qualifies.

Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship has teamed up with Danny Wimmer Presents and Alex Terrible to launch Blood4Blood, a brand-new hybrid event that merges bare-knuckle fighting with heavy music.

And the concept is as intense as it sounds.

A Fight Card And A Metal Show — In The Same Arena

The inaugural Blood4Blood event takes place May 6 at the Ocean Center in Daytona Beach, Florida, serving as the official kickoff to the Welcome To Rockville festival’s 15th anniversary weekend.

The format is simple but wild:

• Four professional bare-knuckle fights
• Four heavy music performances
• One arena
• One night

The headline bout features Alex Terrible stepping into the ring against middleweight fighter and PBR star Cameron “The Bull” Delano.

But that’s only half the story.

Terrible will also headline the music portion of the night with Slaughter To Prevail, meaning he’ll literally fight and perform on the same stage during the event.

The Lineup Is Built For Maximum Chaos

Blood4Blood isn’t just about the fight card.

The musical lineup already stacks several heavy hitters across the modern metal spectrum:

• Black Label Society
• Crowbar
• Malevolence
• Slaughter To Prevail

Additional acts are expected to be announced.

The entire concept leans into the shared DNA between heavy music culture and combat sports — aggression, intensity, and the kind of crowd energy that doesn’t translate well to traditional arenas.

Alex Terrible’s Vision For Blood4Blood

For Alex Terrible, this event isn’t a gimmick.

It’s personal.

“Fighting and heavy music have always been my world, my passion, my lifestyle,” he said while announcing the event.

“We have four real fights and four powerful bands. I will step into the ring and on the stage. I give everything. This is my heart. This is Blood4Blood.”

If you’ve seen Slaughter To Prevail live, that statement tracks.

Their shows already feel like controlled chaos.

Now imagine that energy inside an arena where actual fights are happening between sets.

Why Promoters Think This Will Work

Danny Wimmer, founder of Danny Wimmer Presents, believes the crossover between metal and combat sports audiences makes this concept feel inevitable.

Blending the adrenaline of bare-knuckle fighting with heavy music performances, he says, creates a natural extension of both cultures.

BKFC founder David Feldman echoed the same idea, calling the event a “groundbreaking moment” for fans of both bare-knuckle fighting and hard rock.

And strategically, the timing is perfect.

Blood4Blood lands the night before Welcome To Rockville begins, effectively turning Daytona Beach into a full week of metal and combat sports chaos.

The Fight That Could Steal The Night

The headline bout pits Alex Terrible — who holds a 1-1 record in bare-knuckle competition — against rising middleweight fighter Cameron “The Bull” Delano.

Delano is already promising violence.

“When two fighters refuse to give an inch, it turns into a war… and I am coming to win this blood bath,” he said while promoting the fight.

That alone would draw attention.

Add the live bands, the festival tie-in, and the fact that Terrible will perform with Slaughter To Prevail the same night…

…and suddenly this event looks less like a novelty and more like a prototype.

Could This Become A New Type Of Metal Event?

Metal culture has always overlapped with extreme sports.

But a full hybrid fight card and concert experience inside the same event is something we haven’t really seen executed at this scale before.

If Blood4Blood works, don’t be surprised if more promotions start experimenting with similar formats.

Because fans of both worlds are used to intensity.

And this event might deliver it in a way neither industry has tried before.

So here’s the real question:

Would you go to a metal show where the singer fights in the ring before hitting the stage?

Or is this the most metal event idea anyone has had in years?

“The Blind Eye Of Antichrist” Video / Single Now Playing + Pre-Orders Available

Watch / Stream YOTH IRIA’s “The Blind Eye Of Antichrist” HERE

“This time we entered the studio with the clear intention of creating a landmark album for the band.” It’s a noble and challenging mission statement from Hellenic black metal troop YOTH IRIA, and one that has amply succeeded in the form of Gone With The Devil, the Attica quartet’s stellar third album, set for worldwide release May 8th on Metal Blade Records.

Photo by Alex Haritakis

YOTH IRIA‘s trajectory has been on a steep ascent since crafty 2021 debut As The Flame Withers and 2024′s hypnotic Blazing Inferno, but there has audibly been a concerted determination to develop and expand in sinister new directions. “The creative workflow was similar to Blazing Inferno, yet we deliberately pushed ourselves to bring new elements into our music. We kept the immediacy of Blazing Inferno, the psychedelia of As The Flame Withers, and all the characteristics people expect from Hellenic black metal, while adding fresh sounds and atmospheres never before heard from YOTH IRIA.”

The daemonic avatar YOTH IRIA was first explicitly summoned on Rotting Christ‘s legendary debut Thy Mighty Contract in 1993. Bassist/lyricist Jim Mutilator formed that band as Black Church in 1984, before also becoming a founder member of cult Athenian BM heroes Varathron for their first five years. Renewing the otherworldly atmospheres and occult ravishment for a new era, YOTH IRIA functions almost as the third panel in an apocalyptic triptych of Hellenic black metal excellence.

With its windswept intro, rock-steady snap, jubilant solo and duelling harmonies, album opener “Dare To Rebel” is a useful pointer to the more accessible, classic heavy metal influences of Gone With The Devil. The elegant sound and smooth, sinuous arrangements mark a distinct hike in quality at every level, each song ready to roll as an engaging addition to the live set. Predominantly stately tempos ensure the dark riffs, memorable melodies, and flamboyant leads have space to breathe their fire, so that the blastbeats, when they come – as during the mid-section of haunting highlight and lead single “The Blind Eye Of Antichrist” – devastate even more utterly. Flecks of Mediterranean folk and gothic cadences further expand the band’s sonic palate, while there are countless melodies so atavistically simple and primally satisfying they could be a thousand years old.

The band further comments on “The Blind Eye Of Antichrist,” “True change begins when we refine our character, discipline, and inner power. A transformed person creates a transformed reality. Personal evolution becomes a universal shift – a new order of existence. The world changes when the self is reborn.”

Watch YOTH IRIA‘s video for “The Blind Eye Of Antichrist” HERE.

There’s a thrilling balance of ancient and modern, good and evil, harmony and dissonance on Gone With The Devil advancing YOTH IRIA as a hungry contender for extreme metal’s big leagues – an ever-improving unit with a glorious future. Appropriately, however, Gone With The Devil is best summed up with a line already coined by the band to describe their ongoing body of work: “Every note tells a story of rebirth, tradition, and the relentless pursuit of musical transcendence.“

YOTH IRIA’s Gone With The Devil will be released on CD (jewel case – US / digipak – EU) and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

Red Electric Blue Melt (US)
180g Black (EU)
Oxblood Black Merged (EU – Ltd. 500)
