Eminence has released the official music video for their new single, “Silent March,” featuring a guest appearance by guitarist Andreas Kisser of Sepultura. The video was directed by bassist Davidson Mainart.

The track was recorded at AntFarm Studios in Denmark during a landmark 2025 session produced by Tue Madsen (Heaven Shall Burn, Meshuggah, Behemoth) — the fulfillment of a long-held dream for the band to record on European soil. Guest drummer Charles Moreira (Pense, Colid) also performed on the track, with visual identity handled through artwork by Rafael Moco.

Eminence was formed in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, and has been active for nearly three decades. Led by guitarist and founding member Alan Wallace, the band has completed over 30 international tours, performing in Colombia, New Zealand, Japan, Suriname, Mexico, the United States, China, and across Europe.

They were among the first Brazilian representatives to perform in the United Arab Emirates at the Sandstorm Festival. Festival highlights include Rock in Rio (2015, 2019, and 2022), Woodstock Festival in Poland, South by Southwest in the U.S., Summer Breeze Brazil (2024), and Knotfest Brazil (2024). The band was also invited to join Sepultura‘s farewell tour, playing historic shows in Belo Horizonte and Juiz de Fora.

In 2021, Eminence released Dark Echoes with Tue Madsen, featuring guest appearances from Björn “Speed” Strid of Soilwork, among others. The current lineup is Alan Wallace (guitar/synths), Bruno Paraguay (vocals), Davidson Mainart (bass), and Thiago Caeiro (drums).

Canadian progressive rock icons Saga have announced “Saga 50 — 1977–2027: The Generations Tour,” a special 50th anniversary tour set for 2027. The announcement comes as the band prepares to return to live performances later this month with a series of carefully selected Canadian engagements.

For those upcoming shows, frontman Michael Sadler will rejoin guitarist Ian Crichton and keyboardist Jim Gilmour in the core lineup following his extended recovery after being diagnosed with cancer. Mike Thorne remains the primary drummer, though the highly capable Brad Park may step in for selected dates. On bass, Mike Borkosky returns after performing with Saga on the 2024 tour, marking the end of Dusty Chesterfield‘s time with the band.

Last July, Sadler denied that he was terminally ill, a day after revealing that the rare form of aggressive, muscle-invasive cancer with which he was diagnosed in 2024 was “incurable and untreatable.” His wife, Gwen, first revealed the diagnosis in September 2024, describing it as “a highly aggressive form of muscle-invasive cancer, a rare type that occurs in only 3–5% of cases.”

Saga formed in 1977 in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, and released their first album in 1978. The band has sold 10 million albums and performed in over 20 countries to more than 15 million people. Their most recent studio album is Symmetry, released in March 2021 via earMusic. Hits include “Don’t Be Late,” “Wind Him Up,” “On The Loose,” “The Flyer,” and “Scratching The Surface.”

The band is widely regarded as one of the most influential progressive rock bands in Canada and around the world.

Wednesday 13 — the namesake band of the former frontman of the Murderdolls — has announced Un-Alive at Pol’and’Rock 2025, a live album recorded at the Czaplinek-Broczyno airfield in northwestern Poland.

It was a hot day in the Polish summer, and over 750,000 fans had crammed their way into the Czaplinek-Broczyno Airfield for the 2025 Pol’and’Rock Festival, a storied tradition for over 30 years. The Duke of Spook, Wednesday 13, hot off his smash hit album Mid Death Crisis, took the stage and proceeded to decimate onlookers with a triumphant hit parade, commanding the crowd with excitement and awe.

Wednesday 13 said, “I’m so excited for the release of our new live album. And it’s not just a live record in front of a few people; this is the biggest concert we’ve ever played. Over 750,000 people in attendance for the Pol’and’Rock festival, where we delivered one of the most memorable Wednesday 13 concerts of our career.”

The album is a career-spanning set drawing from both the Wednesday 13 and Murderdolls catalogs. Murderdolls classics “Summertime Suicide” and “197666” appear alongside solo highlights including “Look What The Bats Dragged In” and “Bad Things” from Transylvania 90210, “Too Fast For Blood” from The Dixie Dead, “Good Day To Be A Bad Guy” from Horrifier, and a clutch of tracks from Mid Death Crisis including “In Misery,” “When The Devil Commands” and “Rotting Away.”

Un-Alive from Pol’and’Rock 2025  will be available in the following configurations:

• Digipak CD
• 2 LP Translucent Red
• 2 LP Cross White/Red (Limited to 200 Worldwide)
• 2 LP White Label (Limited to 50 Worldwide)
• Digital Album

Wednesday 13 will also embark on the “Shocktober Blood” North American tour this fall, kicking off Sept. 23 in San Jose, Calif., and haunting major cities including Portland, Las Vegas, Raleigh, N.C., and Nashville, Tenn. before concluding on Halloween in Denver.

Mid Death Crisis — previously described by Wednesday 13 as a fun, campy, “leave-your-brain-at-the-door” rager and a true return to his hard-rocking roots — was produced by guitarist Alex Kane (Life, Sex & Death, Enuff Z’Nuff, Antiproduct) and mixed by Steve Evetts (The Dillinger Escape Plan, Prong, DevilDriver). The album features a guest vocal from Faster Pussycat‘s Taime Downe. The current lineup is Wednesday 13 (vocals), Jack Tankersley (guitar), Ashes (lead guitar), Troy Doebbler (bass), and Mike Dupke (drums).
