The journey of Spirit Adrift has come full circle. With Infinite Illumination—the group’s sixth album in a decade—mastermind Nathan Garrett is ready to unleash the heavy metal heroes’ final chapter. And Decibel is honored to help share it with the world via our own exclusive edition on Yellow Smoke colored vinyl limited to a scant 100 copies courtesy of our dear friends at 20 Buck Spin.

Housed in stunning gatefold sleeve (including an insert), the Spirit Adrift swan song is a return to the wellspring that first inspired Garrett, and a testament to a band who in the last 10 years has crafted an impeccable signature thoroughly their own, molded from the elemental matter of more than a half century of heavy metal exaltation.

Every melodic, epic and emotionally charged thread that defines the band’s legacy honors the animating force behind pure creative ambition. And at its core, Infinite Illumination carries both the weight of conclusion and the troubling realization that it is rarely painless to say farewell.

Don’t get left in the dark. Pre-order your copy of Infinite Illumination now!

The Cockroaches, aka The Rolling Stones, are set to release the first music from their 25th studio album

Posted on April 10th 2026, 1:05p.m.

YES, who is Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood & Jay Schellen, are proud to announce their 24th studio album ‘Aurora’ will be released on June 12th, 2026 via InsideOutMusic/Sony Music. As Howe explains: “Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore and give everything to the music. It’s always been about collaboration; somebody can write a song, but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn’t really a Yes song. We’re not trying to echo the past; we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new”.

The band are also launching the first single from the album, and you can watch the beautiful animated video for the title track, created by Matt Hutchings (Greg Lake, Oasis, Iron Maiden), here:

4. Countermovement 13:48

When Yes first began sketching out ideas for what would become ‘Aurora’, the process was loose and exploratory. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece titled “Aurora,” and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light, emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. Jon Davison remembers how “the title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project.”

Work on ‘Aurora’ began almost as soon as the ‘Classic Tales of Yes’ tour ended in 2024. The idea of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label’s encouragement, the band had the time to develop material organically. Rather than gathering in a single studio for months, they embraced a modern workflow; ideas were born in home studios, shaped independently, and then woven together through constant collaboration. Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis, with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed.

Across ‘Aurora’, each track carries its own character. Some echo the classic Yes approach, others push into new territory, but together they form a cohesive whole that honours the band’s heritage while embracing forward motion. With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, keep refining and keep discovering their capacity to create.

Yellowcard have teamed up with global children’s entertainment titan Blippi for a fresh version of their nostalgic track ‘Bedroom Posters’.

It’s the second collaboration the band has produced with Blippi, following the original composition ‘Go Go Go’.

Now, the pair have put a fresh spin on the band’s track, all about looking back on the way things used to be, but made it suitable for the younger generations looking for some inspiration. Rather than ripping down those bedroom posters, it’s now about looking at them and enjoying the aeroplanes and rollercoasters, excavators, dump trucks, trains, and cranes. It has become a carefree and curious song, one that reminds you of what it is to still be learning about everything the world has to offer and to relish the chance to explore it.

Big dreams, bigger imaginations and some of the biggest pop-punk you’re ever going to hear.

Vocalist Ryan Key had this to say about the track, stating, “My favorite part about this process was handing over an instrumental version of ‘Bedroom Posters’ to the Blippi team and letting them completely re-write the lyrics. I had the idea that this feature could be perfect because of the concept of posters on kids’ walls. I think they nailed it and this is hopefully going to inspire a generation of new little rockers!

Whilst Blippi had this to add:

“Music is one of my favorite ways to play and collaborate, so teaming up with my friends in Yellowcard was a blast! We turned ‘Bedroom Posters’ into a version that kids and families can sing, dance, and laugh along with. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it!”

The band also recently released a version of ‘Bedroom Posters’ with a guest appearance from Good Charlotte. That one sounds like this:
