Watch / Stream VOMITORY’s “Wrath Unbound” HERE

“Wrath Unbound” is the latest single from Swedish death metal institution VOMITORY. The brutal new track comes by way of the band’s In Death Throes full-length, set for release on April 10th via Metal Blade Records.

Comments drummer Tobias Gustafsson, “‘Wrath Unbound’ is inspired by dark powers and built for headbanging! This is probably the heaviest song on the album. The catchy melody combined with lots of double bass drums will roll over you like a tank. Musically it’s influenced by British giants like Iron Maiden, Bolt Thrower, and Carcass. Lyrically, I don’t really know where [vocalist/bassist] Erik [Rundqvist] found the inspiration. Probably somewhere far, far away…“

In any serious conversation about death metal, VOMITORY‘s name is a must-mention. Formed in 1989, the Swedish band unleashed eight blistering albums between 1996 and 2011, cementing their status as genre titans before parting ways in 2013. However, their retirement was short-lived, as they returned to the stage in 2019 to mark their 30th anniversary. Now, three years after the release of their critically acclaimed 2023 comeback album All Heads Are Gonna Roll, VOMITORY are back with their latest beast, In Death Throes.

The band didn’t miss a beat in getting back to writing. According to drummer Tobias Gustafsson, while the unmistakable VOMITORY sound remains, the new album cranks up the intensity. “In Death Throes picks up where All Heads Are Gonna Roll left off, but we’ve turned the intensity up a notch. [New guitarist] Christian [Fredriksson] quickly found his place and even contributed music to four killer tracks. These additions bring a bit of diversity to our sound without straying too far from the formula.”

Of the band’s first single, Metal Injection gushed, “If the previous record marked a triumphant resurrection, In Death Throes is the sound of a band tightening the screws. The track is pure forward momentum, weaponizing grind, D-beat chaos, and groove-laden breakdowns into a single, unrelenting charge.” MetalSucks agreed, “‘For Gore And Country’ is every bit as brutal and stomach-turning as you’d expect from a band that’s been doing this for three decades.”

The recording on In Death Throes took place across multiple studios in late 2025. Drums and vocals were recorded at Leon Music Studios in Karlstad, Sweden, with producer Rikard Löfgren, who previously worked on Terrorize Brutalize Sodomize, Carnage Euphoria, and Opus Mortis VIII, handling the engineering. Guitars and bass were tracked at Goff Studios in Karlstad, with Christian Fredriksson taking the reins as the engineer. For mixing and mastering, the band once again turned to Lawrence Mackrory (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath, Lik) at Rorysound Studios in Uppsala, Sweden, who delivered a crushingly heavy sound that still manages to breathe.

As with All Heads Are Gonna Roll, the album artwork was handled by Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design (Evergrey, Suffocation, The Crown), while Seiya Ogino of Ogino Design handled the layout. The result is an album that’s as ferocious as it is visually stunning.

VOMITORY‘s In Death Throes will be released on CD and digital formats as well as LP in the following color variants:

180g black
Dark Rose Marbled
Desert Sunset (Coral Metallic Marbled) (Ltd. 300)
Green Black Splatter (Exclusive Band/Tour Edition – Ltd. 300)

Band:	Zerre
Release:	Rotting on a Golden Throne
Genre:	Thrash Metal
Country:	Germany
Release Date:	27th of March, 2026
Released via	Dying Victims Productions

From the rotten cellars of Würzburg, Germany, the mighty Zerre have returned and they might just be better than ever. The Thrash Metal maniacs are set to release their new album Rotting on a Golden Throne on March 27thvia Dying Victims Productions. Delivering nine riff-loaded tracks that won’t just destroy your neck, but also crush your brain.

When it comes to thrash metal, Germany is known for its legendary sound. Bands like Sodom, Kreator, Tankard and Destruction paved the way for generations. But Zerre are not your typical German Thrash band. Their approach leans much more towards the raw aggression of Exodus or the crossover energy of Power Trip.

From start to finish, this record is all about aggressive riffs and pure, unfiltered power. Tracks like “Pigs Will Be Pigs” not only hit hard musically but also showcase the band’s political edge. The production on Rotting on a Golden Throne is razor sharp! You could probably cut air with it. Everything sounds tight, direct and straight to the point.

And then there are the gang shouts… holy smokes. They are everywhere, and they hit every single time. Songs like “Pigs Will Be Pigs” or the title track “Rotting on a Golden Throne” deliver some of the most infectious gang shouts you’ll hear in modern crossover thrash. It’s impossible not to shout along.

The riffing and solos are absolutely on point. Zerre prove themselves as true riff wizards throughout the entire album. Neck-breaking tempos and raw insanity take over on tracks like “Deception of the Weak” or “Tin God”. The band still manages to maintain that punk-driven, no-fucks-given attitude that makes everything even more enjoyable.

Songs like “Concrete Hell” are straight-up pit anthems, filled with mosh parts that will leave no one standing still. Zerre give you absolutely no room to breathe. It’s banger after banger, packed with fast-paced guitar work, blasting drums and aggressive gang vocals.

Honestly, who needs coffee in the morning when you can just blast this record? It hits like a sledgehammer straight to your skull. Rotting on a Golden Throne is easily the best work Zerre have released so far. A true milestone for German Crossover Thrash and a serious contender for album of the year.

Don’t sleep on Zerre.

“There was a lot of pain from all the death and drugs and corporate destruction”

Last year, Throwing Muses released their 11th studio album, Moonlight Concessions. Today, Kristin Hersh is back with a new solo song called “Sundial,” which serves as the first preview of a new album coming later this year. “Musicians’ heartbeats align right before they start a song together,” Hersh says of the track. “Real musicians, anyway……

Last year, Sean “Diddy” Combs was sentenced to 50 months in prison for two counts interstate transportation related to prostitution. After an extremely publicized sex-trafficking trial, a jury found Combs not guilty of the most serious charges against him, and he’s now trying to appeal his current sentence. Whether or not they were proven in court, the many allegations against Combs paint an extremely troubling picture. So it’s notable when a superstar on the level of Usher goes out of his way to defend the man.

When Is Upon A Burning Body Touring The U.S. In 2026?

They’ll be on the road from June 4 through June 20 across the U.S., hitting smaller, high-impact venues.

TL;DR

Upon A Burning Body are taking a June 2026 U.S. headlining run through tightly packed venues with Traitors, Carcosa, and Swollen Teeth. Tickets go on sale March 27, and this setup leans heavily into intensity over scale.

This Isn’t A Victory Lap Tour—It’s Pressure In Small Rooms

There’s a very deliberate choice here.

Instead of stretching this into larger venues, they’ve leaned into tighter spaces where everything feels louder, closer, and less controlled. That changes how these shows play out. You don’t get distance from the stage. You don’t get a breather between bands.

Traitors bring weight. Carcosa bring precision. Swollen Teeth bring unpredictability. Stack those together in rooms that weren’t built for comfort, and the tone of the night is already set before Upon A Burning Body even walk out.

Blood Of The Bull Still Has Teeth Live

This tour lands in that window where new material still feels volatile onstage.

Blood Of The Bull hasn’t settled yet. The songs are still being pushed, adjusted, tested in front of crowds that are hearing them live for the first time. That tends to produce a different kind of set—less polished, more aggressive.

That works in their favor.

Some Cities Will Break Faster Than Others

There’s always a pattern with runs like this, even if it doesn’t look obvious on paper.

Atlanta, Detroit, Nashville—those are the ones that tend to tighten up quickly. But smaller markets can flip just as fast when the room size is limited and the lineup hits the right crowd.

Waiting usually means fewer options, not better ones.

Upon A Burning Body Bio

Formed in San Antonio, Texas in 2005, Upon A Burning Body carved out a lane by blending groove-driven metalcore with heavier death metal influences and a distinctly rhythmic, breakdown-focused approach. Their rise accelerated with a Billboard 200 breakthrough in 2014, and they’ve maintained a reputation for physically intense live shows ever since.

Rooted in a strong Texas identity, the band has continued evolving without abandoning the core sound that built their following. Their latest release, Blood Of The Bull, dropped in December 2025 and feeds directly into this current tour cycle.

For those of us who grew up in the 1970s, whether you were in middle school, high school, or even college, most of us were huge Elton John fans. Of course, I can only speak for myself, but just about all my friends and everyone I knew loved Elton John. There really was no bigger artist in the 1970s than Elton John, with maybe the exception of Paul McCartney. I only say this because those of us who lived through that time know Elton John’s music inside and out. We lived that music; we bought every album that came out,
