Promo Picture Port Noir

New album to be released May 15^th 2026, via InsideOutMusic, available for pre-order NOW; 

After announcing their 5^th album “The Dark We Keep” in January, the Swedish prog band Port Noir continue with “Ebb and Flow”, another single ahead of the record’s release. The single offers a modern alt‑metal track exploring disconnection, decay, and the struggle to stay awake in a world on autopilot. “Ebb And Flow” speaks to fans of dark, atmospheric rock with progressive edges. 

“Ebb and Flow” is the fourth single the band has released from their upcoming record and follows on “Complicated” , “Redshift”, and “Noir”. “The Dark We Keep” will be the 5^th full length album by Port Noir, to be released May 15^th, 2026, via InsideOutMusic. 

“The Dark We Keep” is available for pre-order here.

The band comments on the new single:

“Sometimes we don’t write songs to arrive somewhere. We write them to move. Instead of verses and choruses, we let ideas drift, repeat, and change shape. The movement is the destination. This is a formula we explored and utilized on our earlier albums and something wewanted to tap back into while writing ‘Ebb and Flow’.

Lyrically it portrays a world caught in endless cycles of numb repetition, where weslowly lose awareness, identity, and agency without resisting.There’s no collapse or climax, only quiet erosion. The Ebb and Flow keepseverything moving just enough to feel alive, while actually preventing change.”

The latest single from atmospheric doom metal outfit Frayle is a happy sounding little cut off their forthcoming album Heretics & Lullabies, titled “Souvenirs Of Your Betrayal”. And according to the band, it comes from some hard-lived experiences.

“We wrote ‘Souvenirs of Your Betrayal’ from a very real place of hurt and clarity. It’s about facing deception head on and turning that experience into something honest, heavy and powerful.”

Hammok hail from Oslo, where they kick up a brisk and invigorating racket that reminds me of Euro post-hardcore acts like Refused and Birds In Row, or even those old Queens Of The Stone Age tracks with Nick Oliveri on lead vocals. They’ve signed to Sargent House for new album When Does This Place Become…
