(Andy Synn was an early supporter of Growth and their debut album, so it only made sense for him to cover their long-gestating sophomore record, out next week) Good things come, or so they say, to those who wait.

The Haunted Youth have shared a new single, murder me.
The track is taken from the Joachim Liebens-led band’s upcoming album Boys Cry Too, which is due out on May 8 via Play It Again Sam.
Speaking about the LP as a whole, the frontman explains, “I was really in touch with the male side of my emotions. The first half of the record is basically how everyone sees a boy when he’s heartbroken: he puts his walls up, he’s paranoid, he’s angry, he’s aggressive. But then the second half is this whole other story – it’s vulnerable.
“I want to show the vulnerable part of men and boys and celebrate it instead of making it this whole stigma that’s been going on for so long.”

Boston stoner/fuzz rock outfit GOZU will release their long-awaited new full-length, Gozu VI, on May 15th through Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records.
“We wanted something that really moved and hit a nerve,” says GOZU singer/guitarist Marc Gaffney on composing the band’s sixth studio album. “I was pretty roughed up emotionally while writing. I played guitar more in the past two years than ever before. I would work, go to the gym, come home, eat and then play guitar until I went to bed.”

The end result is eight action-packed tracks, produced and mixed by Benny Grotto at Boston’s Mad Oak Studios. Emotion is writ loud and large for the band that’s been praised for their “deep grooves, thick riff mechanics, soulful melodies,” and for creating a “musical stew that intoxicates the listener, sweeping them into another aural universe.”
Gaffney has spoken about the band’s, “maturity mixed with a childlike enthusiasm to play music,” and Gozu VI‘s songs are proof positive. “I think this is more of a soulful, straight forward, guitar-driven album. Lyrically, this took on a whole different feel, and it wrote itself.”
“[Lead guitarist] Doug [Sherman] and I are always sending each other phone recordings,” the singer furthers. “So, we had a bunch in the mix when we all got together. It’s usually Doug and I meeting, then [drummer] Seth [Botos] and [bassist] Joseph [Grotto] hop on board and we all hammer it out. Lyrics for these tunes were written way ahead as I was going through some shit. I would write at night in this crappy apartment I was living in so I would not be indulging in cocktails,” Gaffney says. “Sometimes you must have your own therapy sessions, and I had a fuck ton!“
The singular band’s last album, 2023′s Remedy, was reviewed as an “utter triumph” and praised for being “never too testosteroney, even when the songs are at their heaviest.” Of GOZU‘s writing approach, The Obelisk wrote, “This has been GOZU’s method for seven years now, to take the tones, grooves and – particularly in the vocals of guitarist Marc ‘Gaff’ Gaffney, the soul of heavy rock – and recontextualize them with a force of impact born of heavy metal.”
With Gozu VI, the lineup’s melding of intense, fuzzy ’70s-inspired riffs, rich, catchy, grunge-esque vocal melodies, and a touch of oldschool stoner psychedelia has reached a zenith. Categorize them how you will. “We don’t mind if people think we’re stoner, doom, heavy, easy listening with a touch of cayenne pepper. I feel we’re just a heavy soulful band,” Gaff says. “We play music that people can shake their ass to and lyrics that are honest and deal with human nature.”
In advance of the record’s release, today GOZU presents their first single, “Banacek.” Comments Gaffney, “Iron Maiden is a huge favorite for all of us and we wanted a tune with that Steve Harris gallop. Jellyfish has always been a band that has crippled me with their amazing vocal harmonies so intrinsically that’s how the vocals arrived!“

Trafalgar Releasing has unveiled the official trailer for the upcoming Iron Maiden feature documentary, now titled Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition.
Documenting one of the most iconic journeys in music history, the film is set to hit theaters for a limited time only beginning May 7, 2026, with tickets going on sale today, Wednesday, March 18.
Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill At War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits In The Forest – A Depeche Mode Film), the feature-length documentary charts Iron Maiden‘s remarkable five-decade journey.
Alongside the band, the documentary features on-camera reflections from prominent admirers, including Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Chuck D, each speaking to Iron Maiden‘s influence on music, culture and generations of fans worldwide.
When it was first made available in February, the key art by Albert “Akirant” Quirantes offered the first visual look at the documentary.
Formed in East London in 1975, Iron Maiden have grown into one of the world’s most influential and enduring rock bands. Across 50 years they have released 17 studio albums, sold over 100 million records, and performed almost 2,500 concerts across 64 countries.
The documentary arrives as the band continues its two-year Run For Your Lives world tour, which included a triumphant homecoming performance at London Stadium a short distance from where it all began five decades ago.
Iron Maiden was founded in 1975 by bassist Steve Harris and have grown to become one of the world’s most celebrated bands. With a steady recording output beginning with their self-titled 1980 debut, they have released 17 studio albums, 13 live albums and 47 singles which have sold in excess of 100 million copies worldwide. They have played almost 2,500 live shows across 64 countries and were carried to some of these aboard Ed Force One, a Boeing 757 and then later a 747 piloted by singer Bruce Dickinson. They have been the recipients of a Grammy Award and a Brit Award, among many other accolades, most recently joining The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd with their very own Royal Mail stamp set. Their beer, Trooper Beer, is now in its twelfth year and has sold in excess of 40 million pints and is distributed in 68 countries, including six local variants in USA, Germany, Brazil, Spain, Sweden and Australia. 2025 marked the band’s official 50th year and is being celebrated by a two-year world tour titled Run For Your Lives and a range of events and products including their first-ever official hardcover visual history book, Infinite Dreams.

Even in the small tent of the extreme metal community, tech-death resides in an exceptionally cramped corner—and for good reason. The mental math required to compose any of the subgenre’s anthems is already commendable, but the physical dexterity necessary to perform them is downright baffling. Understandably, the list of musicians able and willing to perform at such a high level is quite short. Putting out one capable tech-death record is an accomplishment—Canadian champions Archspire are on the verge of their fifth. Aptly titled Too Fast to Die, the now fully independent quintet are continuing to tell the tale of their sprawling sci-fi epic while pushing their abilities to their outer limits. With that said, are you terribly surprised to find them as the latest player characters in the Kill Feed arcade?
At the time of recording, the group had just returned from a week-long run through Australia, giving them the opportunity to pump the brakes for Decibel’s resident co-nerds. Bassist Jared Smith and newly installed drummer Spencer Moore, playing their part as representative gamers, happily spent the evening discussing the breadth of their gaming credentials. What we found was that though their taste for the technical may factor into the band’s love of the notoriously difficult FromSoft library of games, even Promised Cosort Radahn is ultimately an escape from their warp-speed world. As they gear up to unleash their new album as well as put the pedal to the metal for their upcoming Long Roads, Big Loads Tour with friends of the column Undeath, we hope you stop to enjoy this interview.

With unprecedented access to official band archives, Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition charts five decades of one of the most iconic journeys in music history and the trailer for the film, set to hit cinemas worldwide for a limited time only from 7 May 2026, has been released this afternoon. Tickets are on sale today at ironmaidenfilm.com/intl/.
Directed by Malcolm Venville (Churchill at War) and produced by Dominic Freeman (Spirits in the Forest – A Depeche Mode Film), the feature-length documentary charts Iron Maiden’s remarkable five-decade journey.
“Ultimately, Iron Maiden: Burning Ambition is about endurance,” Director Malcolm Venville told MetalTalk, “a band that refused to follow the changing fashions of music and a global audience that found identity, friendship and meaning in their music. It is the story of a shared culture, built over fifty years, between a group of musicians from East London and millions of listeners around the world.”
Alongside the band, the documentary features on-camera reflections from prominent admirers, including Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich and Chuck D, each speaking about Iron Maiden’s influence on music, culture and generations of fans worldwide.
Iron Maiden’s Burning Ambition documentary delivers a full-scale look at the band’s 50-year career, combining rare footage, behind-the-scenes access and interviews with major figures across music and film.
Iron Maiden aren’t being documented at the end of their story — they’re being captured while still operating at full scale. That alone makes this one different.
The first look at Burning Ambition doesn’t feel like a typical retrospective.
Directed by Malcolm Venville and produced by Dominic Freeman, the film is being framed as a no-holds-barred look at the rise and evolution of Iron Maiden.
That positioning matters. Most band documentaries lean heavily on celebration. This one is being set up as something more complete — and potentially more revealing.
The list of voices featured in the film immediately shows how far Iron Maiden’s influence extends.
Confirmed appearances include:
That range — from Hollywood to metal to hip-hop — isn’t something most bands can pull off. It reinforces the idea that Iron Maiden’s impact goes far beyond their genre. You can watch the trailer below or at this location.
Timing is everything here.
Iron Maiden are currently deep into their 50th anniversary run, and instead of slowing down, they’re scaling up.
Their ongoing “Run For Your Lives” tour focuses exclusively on material from their first eight albums — the era that built their legacy.
The next leg stretches across Europe, North America, South America, Australia and Japan, reinforcing just how global their reach still is.
One of the biggest moments of the tour happens July 11 at Knebworth Park.
Dubbed “Eddfest,” it’s not just a concert — it’s a full festival-style takeover featuring:
along with a full weekend of Iron Maiden-themed experiences.
Fans interested in catching Iron Maiden live in 2026 can find tickets here.
The guest list is strong. The scale is there.
But that’s not what will define this documentary.
Iron Maiden’s history is layered — lineup changes, creative tension, reinvention across decades. That’s the real story.
If Burning Ambition leans into that honestly, this could stand alongside the most important music documentaries ever made.
If it plays it safe, it won’t land the same way.
That’s the difference — and fans will feel it immediately.
Burning Ambition hits cinemas on May 7, 2026.
The film includes Javier Bardem, Lars Ulrich, Tom Morello, Chuck D and Iron Maiden themselves.
They are currently on the “Run For Your Lives” world tour celebrating their early catalog.
Eddfest is a special Iron Maiden festival event at Knebworth Park on July 11 featuring a full lineup and fan experiences.
Iron Maiden formed in London in 1975 and became one of the most influential heavy metal bands of all time. Known for their theatrical live shows, iconic mascot Eddie and relentless touring schedule, they have sold over 100 million albums worldwide and remain a dominant global force decades into their career.
