  • Gaerea Release New Track and Video “Nomad”

    Gaerea – By Chantik Photography – Hi Res

    We’re just a few weeks from the release or Portuguese black metal outfit Gaerea‘s next album Loss and the band saw it fitting to release a new single and accompanying music video in the form of “Nomad”.

    Released earlier today, it’s the latest single in the pantheon of songs released ahead of Loss’ release on March 20 via Century Media Records, which will be their first release under that label.

    Speaking of the track, the band explained its origins:

    “‘The Nomad’ is the individual who goes through life at a constant moving pace just to avoid facing oneself—physically drifting, but emotionally running from guilt, self-doubt, and a fear of becoming something to despise. At its core, it’s a confession of alienation: a nomad not by choice, but by self-punishment and inner collapse.”

    You can pre-order your copy of Loss today. Gaerea also has some European tour dates, which we’ve listed below.

    Loss Tracklist:

    1. Luminary
    2. Submerged
    3. Hellbound
    4. Uncontrolled
    5. Phoenix
    6. Cyclone
    7. LBRNTH
    8. Nomad
    9. Stardust

  • MOONSCAPE UNVEILS “ENTITY, CHAPTER III: A SUDDEN GLIMPSE OF CLARITY” – THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO THE PROGRESSIVE METAL SAGA – @thebeast

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    MOONSCAPE UNVEILS “ENTITY, CHAPTER III: A SUDDEN GLIMPSE OF CLARITY” – THE EPIC CONCLUSION TO THE PROGRESSIVE METAL SAGA
    Norwegian progressive metal visionary Moonscape , led by multi-instrumentalist Håvard Lunde , returns with the highly anticipated release of Entity, Chapter III: A Sudden Glimpse of Clarity . This monumental 42-minute composition concludes the critically acclaimed “Entity” trilogy, delivering an emotionally charged narrative and the lush, symphonic arrangements Moonscape fans have come to expect.
    Since its inception in 2015, Moonscape has pushed the boundaries of story-driven progressive metal, combining conceptual storytelling with intricate musicianship. In Chapter III , the saga follows the protagonist, known simply as “Man,” as he battles isolation, loneliness, and his inner demon—ultimately recognizing it as the voice of his depression. Guided by the characters “Reason” and “Hope,” the story crescendos toward a heartfelt resolution of struggle, self-confrontation, and personal renewal.
    The album features an array of guest performers, each bringing life to the narrative:
    Matthew Brown (Arkhane) as “Man”/”Demon”
    David Åkesson as “Reason”
    Nina Pohleven (Inflected) as “Hope”
    Instrumental contributions include Cezar Popescu (Vita de Vie) , Andreas Jonsson (ex-Spiral Architect) , Leviathan (Abyss Below) on lead guitars, and Diego Palma (Lord Divine) on keyboards, weaving a rich tapestry of sound that complements the album’s emotional depth.
    “Moonscape is far from a stranger of overcoming such hurdles as its previous works, and it’s in the vast expanse that’s explored throughout the 42-minute continuation of the ‘Entity’ saga, ‘Chapter III: A Sudden Glimpse of Clarity,’ that we see moments of Moonscape as its most daring and colorful,” states Head-Banger Reviews. “An emotionally charged creation that builds off what Moonscape has been carefully composing since its debut album nine years ago, ‘A Sudden Glimpse of Clarity’ is an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and intensity. Just as capable of breaking your very spirit down before building you back up, Moonscape navigates its ambition with passion, precision, and a deep knowledge of the elusive nature of progressive metal itself.”
    Entity, Chapter III: A Sudden Glimpse of Clarity is available digitally on all major streaming platforms and as a strictly limited jewel case CD edition (200 copies, 20-page booklet), exclusively through Moonscape’s Bandcamp page. https://moonscape.bandcamp.com/
    Production Credits:
    Written, composed, arranged, recorded, mixed, and produced by Håvard Lunde at HLP Sound Studio, Norway.
    Mastered by Shaun Rayment at SDR Audio Production, England.
    Fans of Ayreon, Dan Swanö, and Nightwish will find Entity, Chapter III a masterclass in narrative-driven progressive metal, combining conceptual depth with musical prowess.

  • CDN Records Welcomes Buffalo’s Morgue Terror for Upcoming Full-Length Release – @thebeast

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    CDN Records Welcomes Buffalo’s Morgue Terror for Upcoming Full-Length Release
    CDN Records is proud to announce the signing of Buffalo-based death metal force Morgue Terror , gearing up for the release of their highly anticipated full-length album. Known for their unrelenting brutality and frostbitten riffs, Morgue Terror has been carving a vicious path through the underground metal scene since their formation.
    Hailing from the frozen tundra of Buffalo, New York, Morgue Terror began as the brainchild of Dave (guitar) and Steve (bass, vocals), who crafted their debut EP Morgue Terror . With the addition of Dustin on drums in November 2023, the band’s single “Chopped Up Chum” set the tone for what fans would come to expect: relentless, no-holds-barred death metal.
    Their sophomore EP, Violent And Murderous Thoughts , dropped on August 23, 2024, expanding the band’s ferocious sound. Since then, lineup changes have only strengthened the unit: Logan (Lacerate) on drums and Anthony on bass have joined, bringing fresh intensity and solidifying a new era for the band.
    Morgue Terror has shared stages with underground death metal heavyweights like Internal Bleeding , NecroticGoreBeast , Internal Suffering , Malignancy , and Frog Mallet , earning a reputation for bone-crushing live performances. Their latest singles – “Gore Harvest,” “Feasting On The Dead,” “Terror In The Morgue,” and “Cryptid Skin” – are available now, giving fans a taste of the merciless assault to come.
    With CDN Records behind them, Morgue Terror is primed to deliver a full-length album that will set the standard for modern death metal. Stay tuned for release details, pre-orders, and upcoming live dates. https://cdnrecords.com/label-artists/morgue-terror/

    Guitarist JOHN 5 will bring his first-ever solo tour to the UK and Europe in May 2026. Apart from a few shows in 2016, this is John’s first real tour across these shores. For over 30 years, JOHN 5 has been one of the most in-demand guitar players on the planet. John has shared stages and recording studios with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, David Lee Roth, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Meat Loaf, Dolly Parton, and more, and is now a member of Mötley Crüe. As a long-term fan of the guitar maestro, I am really excited about this and about what his shows will be like.



    Since 2011, John has released over a dozen solo albums highlighting his unique style of playing that has entertained and mesmerised audiences around the world.  In 2025, John 5 released his latest album, which was the critically acclaimed “Ghost” – released in October 2025. Available HERE



    The tour will feature twelve UK appearances along with shows in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Poland and the Czech Republic.



    John comments, “I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited for a tour than this one coming up. I haven’t been there in so long, and I can’t wait to say hello and have a great time with everyone. Super SUPER excited.”
