Rock artist ALYXX has released a powerful new heavy interpretation of the iconic Bonnie Tyler hit “Holding Out For A Hero.” The track is currently available to stream across all major digital platforms. This new recorded version serves as a direct tribute to the legendary singer while simultaneously introducing the classic anthem to a brand new generation of modern rock listeners.

Originally established as a highly requested staple within her live concert sets over the past several years, the song quickly evolved into a massive fan favorite. By translating the classic pop rock hit into a heavier sonic landscape, the artist blends driving guitars and aggressive drum patterns with her soaring vocal melodies, capturing the desperate energy of the original composition through a distinctly modern lens.

To support the newly released cover, ALYXX is bringing her high energy live performance to the summer festival circuit. This weekend, the artist is scheduled to perform at the Upheaval Festival as well as the INKcarceration Camp Party, where the new single will be featured prominently alongside her established catalog of original heavy material.

Japanese rock trio TRiDENT has released a new digital single titled “Candle” via JPU Records. The track officially arrived on July 15 for audiences across Europe and North America. Coinciding with this new release, the label also announced the first international CD edition of the band’s latest five track mini album, BLUE DAWN, which is currently available for preorder.

Written as the theme song for a Japanese television drama, the new single showcases an emotionally driven side to the group. Vocalist and guitarist ASAKA penned the lyrics and music to capture the resilience required to navigate adulthood, while Shota Horie handled the arrangement. The accompanying BLUE DAWN mini album expands on this melodic evolution, featuring collaborations with prominent rock musicians like Nob and ROLLY, alongside a powerful interpretation of the classic Studio Ghibli anthem “Country Road.”

Since reforming in 2020, the three piece band has steadily built a massive international audience by blending traditional rock instrumentation with electronic elements to create a massive live sound. Operating with a massive online following of over 26 million YouTube views, TRiDENT continues to expand their global presence. “Candle” introduces an emotionally mature new chapter for the group as they prepare to deliver the physical edition of BLUE DAWN to their dedicated international fanbase.

Heavy alternative band In This Moment has released a new single and accompanying music video titled “Crawl.” The track arrives alongside the official announcement of the group’s ninth full length studio album, WITCH. The new record serves as their label debut for Better Noise Music and is officially scheduled for release later this summer on August 28.

Musically, the new track delivers a heavy, visceral sound anchored by driving guitar riffs and the powerful vocal delivery of frontwoman Maria Brink. Thematically, “Crawl” explores concepts of reckoning and fighting back against abusive power dynamics. This empowering message sets the stage for the overarching concept of WITCH, which focuses heavily on inner transformation, overcoming persecution, and alchemizing personal pain into strength.

Co founded by Brink and guitarist Chris Howorth, the band continues to expand their highly theatrical and melodic sound. The upcoming eleven track opus will feature a variety of notable guest appearances, including Dayseeker on the song “I Want To Believe,” Kim Dracula on “Heretic,” and Kat Von D contributing to a cover of the classic Pink Floyd anthem “Another Brick In The Wall.” “Crawl” follows the earlier release of the album’s first preview track, “Sleeping With The Enemy,” as the band prepares for the full arrival of WITCH this August.
