Metalcore outfit August Burns Red have a new album titled Season of Surrender coming out this June and it’s with that in mind that they dropped their new single “Sonic Salvation”. The new track features Polaris vocalist Jamie Halls.

Clocking in at just over four minutes, guitarist JB Brubaker said the track was the very first he wrote for the new record.

“‘Sonic Salvation’ was the first song I wrote for Season of Surrender. I set out to write a song that created more space for Jake vocally and leaned a little more into our hardcore influences. I love how this song came out and Jamie’s guest vocal really takes it over the top for me.”

As for the meaning behind it, vocalist Jake Luhrs said it’s a pretty introspective song that seeks to find strength when things get tough.

“‘Sonic Salvation’ is about finding power and strength in music. The fact that music can bring us back to a memory, help us decompress from the outside world and how music is what has created our world that is the metal scene.”

Season of Surrender will be released on June 5 via Fearless Records, but you can preorder your copy today.

It’s beginning to sound like new Baroness is on the horizon, as the band gets ready to head into the studio this summer. Details surrounding the sludge metal band’s seventh album and follow up to 2023’s STONE have been scarce at best, but some new details have emerged thanks to guitarist Gina Gleason.

While speaking with Guitar World about the band, her side project Ecliptor, and a whole buncha other stuff, Gleason admitted that the band’s been eyeing new tunes for some time.

“The past year we’ve been touring the Red and Blue records. I’m a huge fan of those records, especially Blue. We’ve also been working on new music for the better part of a year and a half. The challenge now is whittling it down and finding the identity of the album, before going into the studio around July.”

That last bit about finding the album’s identity is huge for a band like Baroness. When we last spoke with Gleason and frontman John Baizley, they spoke at great lengths about STONE‘s identity and how it’s its own thing compared to all the albums named after colors.

I don’t know about you, but hearing about new Baroness has me extremely excited. These guys don’t miss, so it’s going to be a blast to learn and hear more about this upcoming record as things materialize.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Red Vinter Unleash New Single “Cryptic Site” From Upcoming Album Ghost In The Fog
St. Paul, MN – Doom and death metal crushers Red Vinter are back with a vengeance, dropping their brand new single “Cryptic Site” today, April 24, 2026. Serving as the first glimpse into their forthcoming second full-length album Ghost In The Fog , the track hits like a slow-moving freight train wrapped in fog and fire.
Recorded at Minneapolis’ renowned 14:59 Studios, Ghost In The Fog marks a serious step forward for the band. The album was co-produced by vocalist/bassist Mike Bullock alongside engineer Will Maravelas, the same force behind their debut Lumbering Menace . This time around, Red Vinter lean even harder into the abyss, delivering eight tracks that crank up the weight, atmosphere, and emotional punch.
“Cryptic Site” sets the tone right out of the gate. It’s tense, suffocating, and cinematic in all the right ways. Built on crawling riffs and a sense of looming dread, the song pulls listeners into a nightmarish scene of confusion, fear, and survival. Lines like “What – what is this place? Where – where am I?” and the desperate cry of “RUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!” paint a vivid picture of being trapped in something unknown and dangerous, while the band’s signature low-and-slow heaviness drives it straight into your chest.
The single also shows how far the band has come since Lumbering Menace , which continues to gain traction across underground radio. Tracks like “Ashes” and “Insurgent” have been making the rounds on stations including WXAX, KFAI, KMSU, and beyond, building a loyal following the old-school way… one spin at a time.
Fans won’t have to wait long to hear “Cryptic Site” in its natural habitat either. Red Vinter are set to bring the new material to the stage at Sinkfest II, where they’ll debut the track live alongside crowd favorites. Expect it to be loud, slow, and absolutely punishing.
With Ghost In The Fog on the horizon and “Cryptic Site” now out in the wild, Red Vinter are doubling down on what they do best… heavy, haunting, no-frills doom that sticks with you long after the speakers stop shaking.
