  • L’Rain – “borderline”

    Last month L’Rain announced her new album fata morgana and shared the phenomenal lead single “soulless cycle,” which some are calling the Song Of The Summer. I would not argue with them. On July 4, she briefly put the track “July 5” on streaming for a day. Now Taja Cheek is back with “borderline.”

  • Mayer’s Picks – the Best of 2026 (So Far), the Albums

    Cat Out of Hell by Fantastic Cat Fantastic Cat’s third album is another classic, nothing but pure pop perfection. Four songwriters with distinct styles blend here in a way that shouldn’t work as well as it does — sharp and spirited in both lyric and melody. And credit where it’s due: any album title that […]

  • BRAINSTORM Announce New Studio Album, Nightfall, To Arrive in Spring 2027 – via Reigning Phoenix Music!

    A new chapter begins. German metal veterans BRAINSTORM have officially announced their brand-new studio album, Nightfall. The band’s forthcoming full-length will be released via Reigning Phoenix Music in Spring 2027, marking the next milestone in a career spanning more than three decades.

    Following the critically acclaimed Plague Of Rats, BRAINSTORM continue to expand the lyrical universe inspired by Indian mythology while delivering the powerful songwriting, memorable hooks and unmistakable heaviness that have become the band’s trademark. At the same time, Nightfall will see the band embracing an even rawer and more dynamic approach, reaffirming the qualities that have made BRAINSTORM one of Germany’s most enduring metal acts.

    Nightfall also introduces BRAINSTORM‘s current lineup, welcoming bassist Danij Perl and drummer Kevin Lütolf. Together with vocalist Andy B. Franck and guitarists Torsten Ihlenfeld and Milan Loncaric, the renewed lineup has forged an album that confidently looks ahead while staying true to the band’s unmistakable identity.

    Andy B. Franck comments:
    “It’s been a while since you last heard from me, right? Well, buckle up because next year sees the release of our new album, Nightfall, which takes us even deeper into the realm of Indian mythology and more demonic realms.

    Nightfall brings you to a world of beauty and grace, but also of death and despair. I’m so excited and can’t wait to drag you all down into these abysses with me, haha! I’m really keen to bring more of that raw, primal power back into the traditional sound. The result is going to blow your minds, and with my friend Seeb (Sebastian ‘Seeb’ Leverman\Orden Ogan) at the mixing desk, we can look forward to an awesome metal album in the spring of ’27! So, get ready for an incredible journey…”

    Further details about Nightfall, including a first single and more info, will be revealed in the coming months.

  • Interpol – “Iron City”

    There’s a deep history of Interpol songs that are maybe sort of ambiguously about the band’s New York City hometown, and now we’ve got another entry in that canon. Next month, the veteran rock fashionistas will release their new album This Mirror Weighs A Ton. They recorded it with big-deal producer Andrew Wyatt, and it’s got a mixing job from psychedelic rock legend Dave Fridmann. We’ve already posted the first two singles, the title track and “See Out Loud,” and now they’ve shared “Iron City,” a majestic slow-burn with murky pianos and nice little music-box chimes. Paul Banks is all the way in the theatrical moody-murmur zone on this one. Listen below.

  • AMON AMARTH Release First-Ever Acoustic Song and Video “Upphaf” as They Ready New Album

    Iconic Swedish heavy metallers Amon Amarth approach a new way of songwriting on their first-ever acoustic excursion “Upphaf“. The song strips away the fury of modern melodic heavy metal to reveal the ancient, skeletal frame of a Norse epic.

  • Elanor Moss – “The Way That It Feels”

    It was evident from last month’s single “Sarah Waiting In The Car” that Elanor Moss’ debut album The Knife, The Needle would be a beautiful affair, and today we get more proof. “The Way That It Feels” is another angelic ballad from a greatly talented singer-songwriter.
