Brighton’s CLT DRP haven’t released anything since 2024’s one-off “Until You Showed Me,” but they’ve been touring non-stop alongside the likes of Lambrini Girls, Bob Vylan, and DITZ. That wait has not been in vain. The trio returned the other day with a fucking killer new single “What Is She For?” With unrelenting force, CLT…

Cage Fight have just dropped a new single, Pick Your Fighter, featuring Benighted’s Julien Truchan.
Taken from their forthcoming album Exuvia – which is due out on May 1 via Spinefarm – vocalist Rachel Aspe announces, “We wanted to write a fun, sing-along party song with themes of determination and fighting spirit, and the result is Pick Your Fighter.
“I also wanted to pay tribute to a French artist who marked my teenage years, and my dad suggested Nâdiya, an R&B singer who is huge back home. Musical and lyrical motifs in Pick Your Fighter nod to Nadiya’s hit Et C’est Parti, a motivational party song that was a huge hit.
“The crowning touch is some very heavy guest vocals from my French friend Julien Truchan of the band Benighted. And there are pig squeals, many pig squeals!”
Check out the very apt 8‑bit combat video for Pick Your Fighter below:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LLOTH UNLEASH NEW RITUALISTIC VIDEO “ACHERODAS” FROM ARCHEES LEGEONES (ANCIENT LEGIONS)
From the shadowed depths of the Hellenic underground, Greek black metal veterans LLOTH return with a chilling new visual offering for their track “Acherodas,” taken from their latest album Archees Legeones (Ancient Legions) , out now via Theogonia Records.
Watch the official video here:
Drenched in a cinematic and obscure atmosphere, “Acherodas” is more than just a music video, it is a full descent into myth, ritual, and darkness. Built on haunting imagery and layered symbolism, the video channels the ancient spiritual undercurrents that define LLOTH’s sound. The result hits like a late-night horror flick meets old-world mythology, pulling you straight into the abyss and not letting go.
The release builds on strong momentum for the band, following the success of their previous video “Black Throne,” which received high praise and was featured by BraveWords, further cementing LLOTH’s powerful return to the global metal spotlight.
The video was brought to life by Bob Katsionis and Alex Haritakis, whose vision transforms the track into a hypnotic visual ritual. Performances from Nina Kefallogiani and PNOE, alongside Kostas Petratos, add a theatrical, almost ceremonial weight to the experience. With costumes crafted by Natali Christaki and a concept developed by PNOE and Nicolas Maiis (Melanomorfos), every detail feeds into the larger mythos surrounding Archees Legeones .
Adding another layer of depth, the track features haunting female vocals from Androniki Skoula, whose ethereal presence elevates the song’s emotional pull and reinforces its connection to themes of death, rebirth, and ancient power.
“Acherodas” continues LLOTH’s relentless march through epic Hellenic black and death metal, where crushing riffs, dark melodies, and mythological storytelling collide. It’s raw, it’s atmospheric, and it stays true to the roots while still pushing forward, exactly how it ought to be done.
Following their triumphant return and the legacy forged in honor of founder Tristessa, LLOTH prove once again they are not here to revisit the past, they are here to expand it and drag it into darker territory.
Archees Legeones (Ancient Legions) is out now worldwide.
Enter the darkness. Cross the river. Descend into “Acherodas.”

American original Tom Waits doesn’t. make new music too often anymore. He’ll reportedly appear on an upcoming Shane MacGowan tribute album, but that’ll be a rare thing. He hasn’t released an album since 2011’s Bad As Me, and he doesn’t seem to be in a hurry to drop another one. Nevertheless, Waits will still take character-actor roles in auteurist movies. In recent years, he’s been in pictures like The Ballad Of Buster Scruggs, The Old Man & The Gun, and Licorice Pizza. Last year, Waits was the nominal lead in his old collaborator Jim Jarmusch’s family anthology Father Mother Sister Brother, which got international festival attention but didn’t make much critical or commercial noise in the US. Next, he’ll be in Martin McDonagh’s new film Wild Horse Nine.
