This is the third album from Chat Pile, a noise/sludge rock band from the US.

It’s not often we get to premiere a more or less brand new band and their first release, but Baltimore blackgazers Stellar Rot are so fresh they aren’t even listed on Metal Archives (though the duo’s previous USBM outfit Unendlich are on there). The outfit was formed in 2025 by Scott Ferguson (drums/vocals) and Mike Connors (guitar/bass/synth) and we’re introducing them via the track “Through the Stairs of Eternity,” drawn from their upcoming debut, Where the Formless Ones Dwell. “Through the Stairs of Eternity” offers a juxtaposition of clean, melodic affected guitar layered over a harsh black metal framework. The result provides the track with a psychedelic buoyancy that somewhat smooths the abrasive edge.

Where the Formless Ones Dwell was recorded by Eric Ferguson and Mike Connors, while mixing and mastering was handled by Matheus Vidor at VOIDSEA Studio. It’s set for release on CD, vinyl and digitally via Hypnotic Dirge Records on September 25. Place your preorder (North America) here or here (overseas).

Drummer/vocalist Scott Ferguson described the featured track like this:

“‘Through the Eternity Stairs’ transports the listener on a cruel journey into the void beyond the mortal realm, where unfathomable horrors exist. This is where the sinister god of a thousand faces shifts the fate of all mortal beings, as he weaves his twisted plans through the fabric of reality. This track showcases what Stellar Rot embodies as a band—choral and symphonic atmospherics over a cold, black-metal spine.”

Scorpions are marking six decades of hard rock with a new official book documenting the band’s career from its beginnings in Hannover to worldwide success.

Scorpions – 60 Illustrated Years is being released through Rufus Publications and has been assembled over more than two years with the band’s involvement. The book spans more than 670 full-color pages and includes hundreds of rare and previously unseen photographs covering the band’s history.

Scorpions have sold more than 100 million albums around the world, establishing themselves among the most commercially successful hard rock acts ever. The new book traces that journey through archival photography and material from across the band’s six-decade run.

The collection will be available in three editions, with the Deluxe and Epic editions featuring signatures from Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, Matthias Jabs, Mikkey Dee, Paweł Mąciwoda, and Uli Jon Roth.

The Standard Edition measures 220mm square and features a hardback cover housed inside a cloth slipcase. It is priced at £95 plus worldwide shipping.

The Signed Deluxe Edition is larger at 300mm square and is hand-signed by Rudolf Schenker, Klaus Meine, Matthias Jabs, Mikkey Dee, Paweł Mąciwoda, and Uli Jon Roth. The recycled leather-bound book comes in a red slipcase featuring an inlaid 3D lenticular. Only 500 numbered copies will be produced, with the edition priced at £300 plus worldwide shipping.

At the top of the range is the Epic Leather and Metal Edition. Measuring 375mm square, the edition is hand-signed by Klaus Meine, Rudolf Schenker, Matthias Jabs, Mikkey Dee, Paweł Mąciwoda, and Uli Jon Roth. The recycled leather-bound book is hand-bound and housed in a unique hand-welded metal slipcase with an inlaid 3D lenticular. Just 100 numbered copies will be available, priced at £595 plus worldwide shipping.

The project gives Scorpions fans a substantial visual record of a career that has taken the band from Hannover’s rock scene to arenas and stages around the world, with three collector-focused editions aimed at fans who want something more than another standard band biography.

Scorpions – 60 Illustrated Years is available to pre-order here.
