Conceived by vocalist Doedsadmiral as an outlet for something far more uncompromising than most, the band quickly drew in a formidable lineup — members […]

Lip Critic’s Theft World is shaping to be as wild as its premise. The album was allegedly inspired by a real-life theft of frontman Bret Kaser’s identity by a fan who was convinced Lip Critic’s music contained clues for an elaborate scavenger hunt. Early singles “Legs In A Snare” and “Jackpot” have fleshed out the…

The start of 2026 seems to be all about excellent guitarists, at least in terms of the live shows I’ve attended.

ENTHEOS released their “Empty On The Inside” standalone single last Fall with an accompanying video directed by Malcolm Pugh. Said Crabb, “’Empty On The Inside’ is a raw, cathartic song about pouring your entire soul into something that you thought would bring fulfillment to your life, but it only makes you feel empty in return. It is ENTHEOS in our purest form, expanding on our grunge and alternative metal sound. This track truly marks the beginning of a new era for our band.”

Watch the video for “Empty On The Inside” HERE.
