Legendary rock icons and 2025 Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame nominees The Black Crowes today announce the release date of their highly anticipated new studio album, A Pound Of Feathers, due out March 13 via Silver Arrow Records.

Produced by Jay Joyce, the new album pushes The Black Crowes‘ iconic blend of blues, soul, and rock into electrifying new terrain. With a career spanning four decades, the band’s upcoming release stands as a towering testament to their enduring artistic fire and significance in rock and roll.

The first two singles from the album, “Profane Prophecy” and “Pharmacy Chronicles”, can be heard below.

“We made this record in eight to ten days,” says The Black Crowes singer Chris Robinson. “Bringing the high and inspiration from Happiness Bastards into this album, it was a natural progression. We experimented more, we wrote on instinct, and how we were feeling in the moment. Rich brought a spontaneity to the record that I can’t describe, but it’s the best shit he’s ever done.”

Rich adds, “This album feels transformative to us. Going back to our roots, we felt that spark in the studio and how we work together. Lighting a fire that hits harder, more jagged, but is still true to our musical essence.”

A Pound Of Feathers marks a bold creative evolution — marrying the rugged swagger of their early classics with fresh perspectives and dynamic, hard-hitting rhythmic textures. Recorded in Nashville with Grammy-winning producer Jay Joyce and curated with visionary energy and deep musical empathy, the record showcases a fearless band operating at the height of their powers.

Drawing from a legacy of emotive songwriting, formidable musicianship, and true rock ‘n’ roll grit, the project — solely written by the brothers — moves effortlessly between the weightless beauty of A Pound Of Feathers and the heavy truth of “a pound of lead,” infusing all 11 tracks with an ambivalent depth and honest purity.

Released today, the spiked opener “Profane Prophecy” sets the trajectory for the whole album, packing the track with cheeky, fun, and funky lyricism only Chris and Rich could bring to life, while the cynical slow-burning “Pharmacy Chronicles” sings of reckoning rather than retreat, urging people to face their vices, as freedom comes with recognition.

Affirming The Black Crowes as one of today’s most compelling and influential rock bands ever, A Pound Of Feathers follows their critically acclaimed 2024 effort Happiness Bastards, which was nominated for “Best Rock Album” at the 2025 Grammy Awards.

Gibson Films has a new docuseries lined up for 2026, and it puts the spotlight where it belongs: on Tony Iommi, the riff writer who set heavy metal’s DNA in motion. The series is titled “Tony Iommi: The Godfather Of Heavy Metal,” and it’s set to stream exclusively on Gibson TV throughout 2026, starting with the worldwide premiere of Volume One, which you can watch below.

The angle here is origin and impact. The story runs from Birmingham’s factory-town grit to arenas and festival stages, following Tony Iommi from his early years into the moment Black Sabbath became the template. Volume One also leans into the aspect that matters to players: how his tone, tuning choices, and riff-first writing style became the blueprint that countless bands built upon.

Interviews are a big part of the hook. Volume One features Tony Iommi alongside a heavy lineup of guitar heroes and scene lifers: Brian May, Slash, Zakk Wylde, Yungblud, Scott Ian, John 5, Philip Anselmo, and Blackie Lawless. There are also appearances by Tom Morello and Troy Van Leeuwen, as well as a firsthand perspective from notable Birmingham names, including Rob Halford and Justin Broadrick.

Tony Iommi summed up his side of it without overplaying the moment: “I’m very grateful to Gibson for this new documentary series and for honoring my role in the story of heavy metal”. He also added, “Hearing the kind words from so many incredible artists is really humbling. Thank you all for telling the story with such heart—and to the fans who’ve kept it alive. Long may it continue!”

From the Gibson camp, the praise is loud and specific. Cesar Gueikian – President and CEO of Gibson – put it in plain terms: “Tony Iommi is the godfather of heavy metal — the creator, the sonic architect, the rifflord who started it all. El Padrino, as I like to call him”. He followed that with: “It’s an incredible honor for all of us at Gibson to pay tribute to Tony with this epic Gibson Films release.”

The Director of Brand Experience at Gibson, Mark Agnesi, pointed to a familiar pattern anyone in metal journalism has seen up close: “No matter what regional metal scene or sub genre we explored, every artist we interviewed always pointed the finger back to Tony,” and then drove the point home with, “He is the Riff Lord!!!!”

Producer Todd Harapiak framed the series as both tribute and lineage tracking: “Tony Iommi remains the undisputed godfather of heavy metal. Through his iconic riffs and uncompromising vision, he gave birth to a sound that was rooted in darkness and became the foundation for generations of musicians.” Then he added, “It’s been truly remarkable to have so many artists unite for this series and hear how Black Sabbath changed the course of their musical lives. The Godfather Of Heavy Metal not only celebrates the journey of Lord Iommi and Sabbath but also shines a light on the stories of the countless bands who carried their torch forward.”

There’s also a forward-looking note for anyone waiting on new music. In a year-end video message, Tony Iommi said he will “definitely, definitely” release his new solo album in 2026. He kept it simple after that: “I’m really looking forward to that,” and “I’m enjoying doing it, and it’s been great fun, and I really hope you enjoy it.”

Leveling the world, one city at a time.

The road that thrash metal has taken since its early 80s inception has been anything but a straightaway track, especially for those who were there from the beginning. Since the resurgence of the subgenre to public prominence at the turn of the millennium, it has become a safe venture for newcomers to the sonic foray to adopt an established style that hearkens back to the traditional synthesis of classic heavy metal riffing with aggressive hardcore sensibilities. However, the changing musical landscapes and label pressure in the 1990s presented a far different prospect for those among the old guard.

For their part, Kreator was one of the veteran outfits that balanced the pressures to mix groove, gothic, and industrial elements into their auditory template while still maintaining a reasonable semblance of who they originally were throughout the aforementioned decade. Few would contest that they not only fully recaptured their former glory, but were among the more consequential bands in bringing about the rebirth of the style via 2001’s Violent Revolution.

Granted, the early 2000s also saw this premier part of the 80s German thrash scene continue to evolve as they rekindled past glory in the recording studio, introducing a strong degree of Gothenburg brand melodic death metal elements into the picture. In the time since this niche has continued to pay dividends, and has arguably been taken to its most logical conclusion with the advent of 2026’s Krushers Of The World, Kreator’s 16^th and latest studio LP.

Taking heavy cues from the formative works of In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, and Arch Enemy and blending them into their more frenetic and chaotic brand of Slayer-influenced mayhem, this Teutonic quartet has bottled up the best of both worlds and shipped it out in 10 concise cases of uncompromising thrash metal aggression.

Between the melodic luster streaming through the dueling riff work and virtuosic soloing work of Mille Petrozza and longtime fellow axe-man Sami Yli-Sirnio and the unrelenting battery provided by co-founder and drummer Jürgen “Ventor” Reil and ex-Dragonforce bassist Frederic Leclercq, the synchronicity of sound that emerges is nothing short of exhilarating, topped off with a vicious vocal display out of Petrozza that blurs the line between 80s Essen and 90s Gothenburg.

Though not Kreator’s first venture into sonic largess, one can’t help but notice a certain cinematic, if not quasi-symphonic character to how Krushers Of The World makes its presence known. The introductory resound of the opening speed machine of an entry “Seven Serpents” could almost be likened to the sort of looming sonic danger that can come with the recent work of Cradle Of Filth, though the ambient mixture of orchestral sounds comes adorned with a mournful melodic guitar line that couldn’t be any more In Flames-inspired if it were included as a B-side to The Jester Race.

But in true master thrashing fashion, this anthem explodes into a full-blown riff-happy assault quickly and refuses to relent for the duration of its 4 and a half minute duration. The Gothenburg elements are no less apparent on the more bulldozer-like crusher with a slight metalcore flair, “Satanic Anarchy” and the dreamy serenade turned Arch Enemy-like beast “Tranenpalast”, the latter featuring a gut-wrenchingly nasty guest vocal display out of Hiraes front woman Britta Gortz, herself a near dead-ringer for Angela Gossow in her prime. Rounding out the lion’s share of melodeath-infused entries in this opus’ opening half is an earworm anthem of a title entry, “Krushers Of The World,” that draws back the tempo a bit but stomps the ground like a 40-story-tall iron golem.

Roughly halfway to this mighty musical codex’s conclusion, the stylistic palette at play becomes a fair bit more centered in traditional thrash territory. The neck-destroying speed and bone-pulverizing riff display adorning “Barbarian” could have easily been featured on Terrible Certainty or Extreme Aggression had the production clock been turned back roughly 40 years and a few melodic nuances in the songwriting been downplayed a tad. A similar story is told with more of a menacing Slayer-like vibe on “Blood Of Our Blood,” save for a hopelessly infectious and slower chorus section.

Even though the mid-paced “Combatants” begins with a more ambient prelude that could almost be mistaken for the intro to a Dark Tranquillity album, the old school thrash bona fides of the ensuing metal storm that follows and the wild solo exchange between Petrozza and Yli-Sirnio are impossible deny. “Psychotic Imperator” goes a bit longer and has several moving parts that hearken back to the melodic schemes and cinematic character of the first half of the album and “Deathscream” comes with plenty of harsher vocalizations that blur the lines between thrash and death metal, but the dominant character of sound is definitely that of an old school Teutonic thrash assault in a modern package.

Following a return to the heavily orchestrated pomp and bluster of the opus’s opening in “Loyal To The Grave,” effectively bookending what could easily be mistaken for a conceptual studio offering, the lasting impression is of a warrior leaving the battlefield victorious. There are no weak links in this auditory chain; you could start with any of its 10 chapters in any order and still come away with a similarly potent experience, though the original sequence naturally proves the most methodical in terms of pacing and flow.

Arguably, the only strike against this highly dynamic and forceful presentation is its relatively short length and general sense of safety from a structuring standpoint. Compared to even modern predecessor entries like Enemy Of God and Gods Of Violence, this tends to the well-rounded and concise character of 2022’s Hate Uber Alles with a slightly more predictable song set.

Nonetheless, when the riffs and the unrelenting angst hit the airwaves, Krushers Of The World is the sort of metallic gauntlet to the gut that thrash maniacs and melodeath addicts of every stripe are sure to take as a call to show no mercy in the pit.

There’s one thing that most people readily agree on: Live concerts are the icing on the cake for musicians and fans alike. Every show is a very special experience and sometimes even creates an almost magical performance. Such moments are beyond explanation; you just have to be there to believe it or, in a best-case scenario, have them recorded for posterity — as American Metal act Prong have done with their latest live album. 

It is exactly what guitarist/vocalist Tommy Victor and bandmates Christopher Dean (bass) and Tyler Joseph (drums) have achieved on Live And Uncleansed.

 Recorded over seven nights in July and August 2025, they are now ready to present 11 powerful live songs, plus three live bonus tracks, all pure and unadulterated, authentic and honest, which is the reason why the result is so incredibly captivating.

 “We were really well rehearsed, this is truly a live (!) record, everything is as it is,” explains Victor, proudly adding: “You can hear some of the little mistakes here and there, but that makes it cool!”

Live And Uncleansed will be out on March 6 and will be available on Steamhammer as CD, LP, stream, and for digital download here.

Founded in 2010, the Italian hard’n heavy band “BangOut” has two albums; they’re style characterized by a modern sound is aggressive and powerful, keeping at the same time solid roots in music wich is influencing since the early years totally dedicated to pureblood straight hard rock, those years gave birth to the first studio album “ROTTEN ROLL” that followed them back and forth between gigs, tours and festivals. After a period off to the point of the current line-up, Nash (lead vocal – rhythm guitar), Fill (drums), Mäkk8 (bass – vocal), Vic (lead guitar – vocal), the “bangers” decided to lock themselves in the studio to let the band’s evolution come out, so there it is “PARADISE ’99”. The new album has its own brand new powerful style, contaminated by a spread scissor from pop, to grunge, hard rock, and heavy metal.

To play live as much as possible. We want to tour, promote the album, and reach a wider audience. The stage is where we feel truly alive, and performing live as much as we can is definitely a top priority.

 All-star hard rock collective Black Swan unveil their new single and official video, “Paralyzed”, title track of the upcoming studio album set for release on February 27, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.- The four-piece Meldodic rock band features Robin McAuley (McAuley Schenker Group), Reb Beach (Winger, Whitesnake), Jeff Pilson (Foreigner, The End Machine, ex-Dokken), and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big). Lead vocalist Robin McAuley commented on the release: “Nowadays, it’s difficult not to become submerged in the news and negative comments presented to us through all media sources. That feeling of being numb and unsafe with an overpowering feeling of anxiety. Desperate for change, I get back to the good old days when things seemed simpler. Craving to hear something positive and yet helpless and repeatedly overwhelmed by so much negative space, leaving us feeling paralysed”.

Good Day Noir Family,
Listening to Lana Crow and the single What Brings You Back for the first time feels like walking into a nocturnal scene lit by distant streetlights and quiet memories.

What Brings You Back is Lana Crow’s Single Out Now

 A heavily reverberated guitar opens the track, and its arpeggio is like a mirage hovering in the air. Immediately after, a steady drum pattern enters with a clear nod to the 1980s.

Then the voice arrives, and it becomes the true center of gravity. Lana Crow delivers with a tone that is unmistakable and personal. It sounds direct and honest, yet it also hints at something guarded beneath the surface. Some moments recall the elegance of Vanessa Paradis, especially in the subtle phrasing and restrained emotion. At the same time, the dramatic poise and clarity bring to mind Annie Lennox, although Crow’s approach feels more inward and reflective. Still, these references never overpower her identity.

The arrangement shows careful attention to balance. The verses leave space, which allows the vocal lines to resonate without pressure. Meanwhile, the rhythm section keeps everything grounded and gently propulsive. Because of this, the song never feels static. It moves forward while maintaining a reflective mood. One of the most striking moments arrives during the guitar solo. Here, the track seems to pause for a brief moment, almost floating in another dimension. That suspension creates contrast, and then the song resumes with renewed emotional weight.

Lyrically and musically, What Brings You Back carries the feeling of night drives and unanswered questions. It suggests longing without spelling everything out.

This single works because it trusts subtlety. Lana Crow invites the listener into a quiet, reflective journey, and she does so with confidence and restraint. The song lingers afterward, like headlights fading into the distance, leaving behind curiosity and emotion rather than clear conclusions.

Good Day Noir Family,
Listening to Tears On Denim and their single Overboard for the first time is like diving into a sharply defined emotional space.

Overboard is Tears On Denim’s Single out now

A confident guitar riff opens the track, and a wave of clear 1980s-inspired energy settles in. However, the song does not stay anchored in nostalgia.

Instead, it pushes forward with intent, blending past influences with a modern alternative edge.

Soon after, the dual vocals take center stage. The male and female voices intertwine naturally, and their interaction becomes one of the song’s strongest features. Rather than competing, they support each other, shaping a melodic line that feels intense and cohesive. The chorus lands with a sense of scale that feels epic and slightly dystopian. Moreover, the band clearly understands dynamics. The verses pull back just enough, while the chorus expands confidently, giving the song a satisfying sense of movement.

The distorted guitars play a crucial role throughout. They sound aggressive, yet they never overwhelm the vocals. Instead, they add drive and texture, reinforcing the emotional tension without cluttering the arrangement. Meanwhile, the rhythm section remains tight and purposeful, keeping the track grounded even as the melodies reach outward. Because of this balance, the song feels big and real, not overproduced or artificial.

Influence-wise, Overboard carries echoes of Foo Fighters in its muscular alternative backbone. At the same time, the layered guitars and emotional shifts recall moments associated with Smashing Pumpkins. Additionally, the opening guitar riff brings to mind the direct, arena-ready confidence often linked to Bryan Adams. Yet, despite these references, the band never loses its own identity.

What stands out most is the sense of chemistry. This sounds like a band that has spent serious time in a rehearsal room, refining details and learning how to leave space for one another. As the song reaches its final moments, the emotional weight feels earned rather than forced. Overboard does not rely on tricks. It relies on connection, structure, and conviction.

Tears On Denim deliver a track that feels powerful, balanced, and emotionally direct.

Intense!

---

Tears on Denim blends the romance and bombast of ’80s arena rock with a modern indie edge—neon-lit nostalgia, big choruses, and harmonized male/female lead vocals that feel both familiar and fresh.

Formed by longtime Boston collaborators David Drouin (vocals, guitar) and Aaron Zaroulis (drums), the project took shape when Alice Austin (vocals, guitar) joined from Los Angeles. Austin is the frontwoman of the internationally touring Black Sabbath tribute Black Sabbitch and a prolific solo artist with eight studio albums.

Together, Tears on Denim channel a retro-futuristic rock energy that nods to Dirty Dancing and Blade Runner, embracing heartfelt hooks, romantic longing, and unapologetic rock-and-roll escapism.

Good Day Noir Family,
The Plastic Pals return with Keep It Burning, an album that feels like a transmission from a parallel era where music still breathes, grooves, and speaks directly without filters.

Keep it Burning  is The Plastic Pals’ Album Out Now

This project holds a raw, soulful heartbeat—songs feel played by humans in the same room, sweat and emotion fused with string vibrations, not programmed by machines.

The record opens with “Saturday Night and Sunday Morning.” The guitar progression immediately evokes a late-80s indie mood, while its attitude recalls the cool detachment and poetic grit once carried by The Velvet Underground. Yet, the band never falls into imitation. Instead, their identity shows through tone, looseness, and the natural chemistry between members. The vocals give the narrative a confessional intimacy, and although the music remains minimal, it has presence.

“Flames of Fate” continues the journey. The chords feel dreamy, like sun-faded photographs. There is a slight 70s spirit here—something that hints at soft psychedelic colors—and then, almost unexpectedly, a melodic turn reminiscent of The Beatles. It feels hypnotic, almost like staring into a campfire and losing track of time. The Plastic Pals are masters at creating space without excess; no instrument ever overstays its welcome.

“The Blue Train” introduces a folk-leaning tone. The acoustic body of the song is warm, and its melodic arc feels honest. The vocal phrasing is simple and direct—never over-performed—and that restraint becomes the very thing that draws a listener closer. This track also showcases how well the band understands dynamic flow: verses carry light, choruses open the sky a bit wider.

Then comes the title track, “Keep It Burning.” Here, the swagger changes. The tune feels loose and gritty, almost as if The Rolling Stones walked into the studio and plugged in. The riff is catchy, the rhythm section walks confidently, and you can almost see the band smiling between takes. It is vintage rock energy without nostalgia-fatigue; instead, it is a statement on how real instruments still ignite something primal.

Across the album, the biggest strength is authenticity. While many modern releases lean toward quantized perfection and digital gloss, The Plastic Pals choose warmth, minor imperfections, and emotional connection. That choice makes the project feel alive. It invites listeners to stop scrolling, sit still, and simply listen.

Keep it Burning is The Plastic Pals’ Album Out Now!

Human!

The Plastic Pals, hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, are a dynamic band that expertly blends fiery twin guitars reminiscent of Television and The Dream Syndicate with powerpop melodies, garage rock grooves, and New York-style psychedelia. Their sardonic and darkly witty lyrics add depth to their soulful and groovy sound, influenced by rock and roll legends ranging from Hank to Hendrix, from Kinks to Big Star. With their fourth album, “Keep it Burning,” released on 12th December 2025, The Plastic Pals celebrate 20 years of creating music that resonates with fans of The Flamin’ Groovies, The Long Ryders, and more.

“IOTUNN was for me the best kept secret in the Danish metal scene, so I am grateful that I got to work with these fine lads. Their no-compromise songs and meticulously crafted atmospheric parts really transported me to distant galaxies.” – Jacob Hansen (producer Volbeat, Evergrey, Asinhell)

“After all these years, IOTUNN is one of those rare bands that still gives me the chills. With the release of their fabulous album Access All Worlds in 2021, I was introduced to a musical adventure on familiar grounds but yet so refreshing, unique and powerful! With the new album, they evolve and solidify their musical grounds, and pull me even further into their vast and wondrous soundscapes. The distinct signature sound, brilliant songwriting, stunning vocals, and superb production makes this album a breathtaking journey for all those who seek adventurous and powerful music. Music bigger than life, music beyond this world. What a stellar album!” – Øystein G. Brun, Borknagar

“I am heavily into the Danish band IOTUNN these days. I have seen them labelled as melodic death metal, but in my head progressive extreme metal is more fitting. A particularly amazing aspect is the clean vocals (makes me think of another favorite of mine, Hamferd). And yes, they are fellow travellers on the Norse path!” – Ivar Bjornsson, Enslaved

“IOTUNN is a band I’ve known for almost ten years with whom I’ve developed a good friendship. They create great songs with good energy, catchy melodies, and solos. With Arcturus, I’ve played with them and I have good insight into how they work which is very professional and with lots of passion. They’re just a great band that delivers both on record and stage” – Knut M. Valle, Arcturus
