Beabadoobee has shared another piece of her upcoming album ‘Pylon’, a tribute to her love of emo, and it delves deeper into the roots of the genre.

The track is called ‘Switchblade’ and is a glitching, shifting, machine-like piece of slow-burning melody, full of changes of pace and tempo. There are glimmers of noodly riffs hiding below the surface, as there are The Postal Service-esque quips and churns, all serving as a curious amalgamation of the passion and purpose that has inspired this era.

The album ‘Pylon’ will be released on on September 18 via Dirty Hit and Interscope Records. It serves as the follow-up to their 2024 record ‘This Is How Tomorrow Moves’.

The album is set to see Beabadoobee expressing their affection and adoration for emo and alternative music, which is where the guests that bolster it come in. You have Hayley Williams, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Deftones’ Chino Moreno, Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall and Title Fight’s Shane Moran all offering up their talents, as well as The 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniels helping out on production on ‘Write Me a Letter’.

Here is ‘Sun Has Set’:

You might think of Massive Attack’s glimmering, perfect 1998 song “Teardrop” as the lead single from their classic album Mezzanine or as the theme of the TV show House. I think of “Teardrop” as the song that was playing on my Walkman headphones during a moment that’s always somewhere near the top layer of my memory.

Where they from?
Arizona. We are at the MLB All-Star break, which means it’s officially the slowest sports week of the year. Even the World Cup doesn’t have any games until Wednesday. All this means I have to dive deep introspectively and find a personality outside of sports, which for those who like to disassociate from reality, is incredibly hard. I think I’ll watch the Spongebob Movie for the 13th time.

Why the hype?
If nothing, this band belongs in the Hall-Of-Fame of difficult band names to explain to your parents. Outside of that, these guys are one of the most punishing units to ever dance along the line between powerviolence and hardcore. The breakdowns are these lumbering oafs that mash and splatter your face into the bedrock concrete of fastcore and the vocals are pure misanthropy and self-loathing in audio form. This band is Tough with a capital T. Great music to lose teeth to, if I don’t say so myself.

Latest release?
Cautionary Tale out now on To Live A Lie Records. Despite taking a few years off, this band hasn’t missed a single step, slathering the listener with angular groove intermittent with ferocious single-pedal powerviolence. The world just keeps burning itself to a crisp and this band is providing the perfect soundtrack for it.

Nickelback has announced its next studio album, Everything Under The Sun, scheduled for release on October 30, 2026, through Virgin Music Group. At the same time, the Canadian rock veterans have released the album’s first single, “Rattle The Cage”, which features guitarist John 5.

The new record is Nickelback‘s first full-length studio release since Get Rollin’ arrived in 2022. The band enters this album cycle following a strong run that included the success of the documentary Hate To Love: Nickelback and the Get Rollin’ world tour, which became the fastest-selling and best-attended tour of the group’s career.

According to the band, Everything Under The Sun reflects the different sides of Nickelback‘s songwriting. The album combines hard-hitting rock tracks with more melodic and reflective material while maintaining the guitar-driven sound that has remained a constant throughout the band’s career.

Leading the release is “Rattle The Cage”, a high-energy track built around heavy riffs, driving hooks, and a fast pace. Featuring John 5, the song aims to capture the atmosphere that has become a trademark of Nickelback‘s live performances.

Frontman Chad Kroeger said: “This album has every side of the band on it. There are songs that hit as hard as anything we’ve ever done, songs that take chances, and songs that remind us why we’ve been doing this together for so long. “Rattle The Cage” felt like the perfect way to kick the door open — it has the energy we’ve been feeding off every night on stage, and we can’t wait for people to hear it.”

From its beginnings in Hanna, Alberta, Nickelback has become one of the most commercially successful rock bands of the past 25 years. The band’s breakthrough came with Silver Side Up, powered by the hit song “How You Remind Me”, and it has since built a catalog that earned Grammy Award nominations along with American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, JUNO Awards, and worldwide recognition.

Over the course of its career, Nickelback has sold nearly 60 million albums, accumulated billions of streams across digital platforms, and continues to attract more than 50 million monthly listeners. Its music continues to connect with longtime fans while reaching new audiences through streaming services.

The band’s momentum continued in recent years as the Netflix documentary Hate To Love: Nickelback reached the platform’s Global Top 10 for multiple weeks, giving viewers a closer look at the band’s history. At the same time, the Get Rollin’ world tour drew record crowds and reinforced Nickelback‘s standing as a major live act.

The upcoming album also marks Nickelback‘s first release through Virgin Music Group. Jacqueline Saturn, president of Virgin Music Group North America, said: “Nickelback has built one of the most remarkable careers in music, and it’s a huge honor for everyone at Virgin Music Group to work alongside a band with such an enduring legacy and global impact. We’re thrilled to partner with them as they begin this exciting new chapter and can’t wait for fans to experience ‘Everything Under The Sun’.”

Now more than three decades into its career, Nickelback continues to expand its catalog while holding on to the sound that established the band as one of modern rock’s biggest names. With Everything Under The Sun, the group opens another chapter with new music and a fresh partnership behind it.

Beabadoobee’s new album is set up to be a big deal. In March, Beatrice Laus returned with “All I Did Was Dream Of You,” a new collaboration with the Marías that served as a non-album appetizer for her new era. When she circled back with “Sun Has Set” in June, we learned the new LP is called Pylon and includes contributions from many other noteworthy figures including Hayley Williams, Chino Moreno, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, the 1975’s Matty Healy and George Daniel, Basement’s Andrew Fisher, Title Fight’s Shane Moran, and Pinegrove’s Evan Stephens Hall.

Metalcore pioneers Walls Of Jericho have announced their sixth studio album, “System Error: Humanity,” arriving November 13 via Napalm Records — their first new full-length since 2016. The record is led by first single “The Ascent” and features a serious guest list, including Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe on “Broken Mouths Can’t Speak” and The Red Chord’s Guy Kozowyk on “Humanity,” with production from Converge guitarist Kurt Ballou.

‘System Error: Humanity’ — The Return Detroit’s Been Waiting For

Walls Of Jericho don’t need an introduction for anyone who came up in 2000s metalcore, but the timeline is worth laying out for everyone else. Formed in Detroit in 1998 — taking their name from a Helloween album, of all things — the band’s 1999 debut “The Bound Feed The Gagged” and 2004’s “All Hail The Dead” helped write the genre’s early rulebook. 2008’s “The American Dream” debuted at No. 11 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart, and 2016’s “No One Can Save You From Yourself” hit both the US Heatseekers and German charts on Napalm Records. In the decade since, the band has stayed a relentless live presence — Louder Than Life, Hellfest, Furnace Fest — without a new studio record to promote. That gap ends November 13.

Frontwoman Candace Buckingham (longtime fans will know her as Candace Kucsulain) didn’t undersell the stakes: “‘System Error: Humanity’ is a raw, unapologetic, and most aggressive record to date. We set out to capture the chaos, intensity, and raw energy of our live show rather than chase perfection.” She frames the album’s themes bluntly — a rebellion against “comparison, conformity, distraction, and the endless pressure to perform instead of live.” Her mission statement for the record: “Kill the noise. Reclaim yourself.”

‘The Ascent’ Kicks The Door In

The first single sets the tone hard. “‘The Ascent’ is a crushing blend of dissonant riffs, massive breakdowns, and raw intensity,” Buckingham said. “Lyrically, it’s about confronting yourself one hard truth at a time, shedding ego, silencing the noise, and discovering that real strength isn’t found at the summit, but in the discipline and honesty it takes to climb. Because growth begins where comfort ends.”

A Guest List That Means Something

The features on “System Error: Humanity” aren’t drive-by cameos. Randy Blythe — Lamb Of God’s frontman and, in recent years, a published author and photographer as much as a vocalist — joins Buckingham on “Broken Mouths Can’t Speak” for what’s described as a “ferocious duel attack.” The Red Chord’s Guy Kozowyk shows up on “Humanity” itself, and closer “A Brighter Fire” brings in Patsy Puopolo and Matthew Ruby for a slower, transcendent turn before the album’s final track, “The Reckoning,” closes things out. It’s a lineup that speaks to how much cross-genre respect Walls Of Jericho has banked over 25-plus years — the band has shared festival and cruise bills with Lamb Of God as recently as 2025.

Kurt Ballou Behind The Boards

Production duties fall to Kurt Ballou, the Converge guitarist whose resume as a producer (Nails, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Code Orange, Every Time I Die) makes him one of heavy music’s most trusted hands for capturing a band’s live ferocity without sanding off the edges. Given Buckingham’s stated goal of chasing raw energy over studio perfection, Ballou is about as fitting a choice as exists.
