  • AN NCS PREMIERE: POX — “TO GREIFSWALD!”

    (written by Islander) As their name signifies, the Belgian black metal band Pox draw their inspiration from the history of plague and disease in northwestern Europe, but they also find inspiration in the obscure and often bleak folklore of the same region, more often than not connecting with pre-Christian archetypes and heathen concepts. The music […]

  • Song Review: PolishManiac “Happiness”

    Song Review: PolishManiac "Happiness"

    PolishManiac released his latest single, "Happiness" in May of 2026. The song explores the complexity of life, emotion, and the fake happiness displayed on the internet. When your life is happy, sometimes it isn't so simple, and you are still met with helplessness and confusion.

    PolishManiac about the song:

    "Happiness has different forms and shapes, but to be honest, it never tells you what to do."

    "Happiness" begins with slow acoustic guitar strumming as gentle leads fill the higher registers. Soft, melancholy singing is met with vocal harmonies that create a dream-like and infectiously catchy sound. Distant woodwinds add another element to the acoustic sound, creating a sense of variety as the song builds. Suddenly the song picks up in pacing, keeping the acoustic backbone of the track but adding a more upbeat drum pattern and vocals growing in speed and dynamics.

    At just over 4 minutes, "Happiness" is a slow-building track that stays mostly gentle and acoustic throughout its runtime while growing in energy as the track goes along. A clean electric guitar solo builds a blues style to the song that matches the acoustic guitar before the song ends suddenly with a few more vocal deliveries.

    PolishManiac creates a gentle song that evokes an emotional response in the listener, building a sound that seems to blur the lines between happiness and melancholy. You can stream "Happiness" available on streaming platforms now!

  • Song Review: Turn Two “Nice Thing”

    Song Review: Turn Two "Nice Thing"

    Pop-punk quartet Turn Two released their single "Nice Thing" in April of 2026. The Jersey Shore band mixes inspiration from early pop-punk like Fall Out Boy and Jimmy Eat World, and a rock edge from the likes of Coheed and Cambria.

    "Nice Thing" starts with upbeat guitar strumming as punk singing is introduced as screams, emphasizing individual words to keep things interesting. The full band kicks in as a classic pop-punk sound is instantly recognizable with scream-singing, slamming drum beats, and dramatic, bright guitar rhythms, building a catchy, rock sound.

    Turn Two does an excellent job of bringing the nostalgic days of pop-punk back to life while keeping a modern touch that keeps it exciting and new. At just under 3 minutes, "Nice Thing" keeps it short and sweet, with a bridge that creates a massive soundscape as distant choir vocals, energetic guitars, and vocal harmonies create an anthemic sound. The song bursts into a final chorus before suddenly fading out.

    Overall, Turn Two showcases a polished pop-punk sound that harnesses the energy of acts like Fallout Boy and Blink-182 into a modern sound with excellent production. You can stream "Nice Thing" available on all platforms now.

But that’s obviously good news. This guy is great at what he does, and he can keep flooding the zone as long as he wants. Last year, Segall released the solo LP Possession. Since then, he’s helped out on records from people like Upchuck and White Fence. Now, he’s got his band back together, and they’re about to hit you with some riffs.

    Crown Magnetar Announce Co-Headlining North American Tour with To the Grave

    Colorado deathcore heavyweights Crown Magnetar have announced a massive co-headlining North American tour with Australia’s To the Grave, bringing one of the most punishing lineups of the year under the banner The Sawed Off Suffering Tour .
    The run will feature direct support from Face Yourself, with rotating appearances from I Declare War, Ameonna (ex-Chelsea Grin), Tracheotomy, Backbiter, and Squelching on select dates. Tickets go on sale Friday at 10AM local time. Get tickets here: https://bnds.us/lv9ika
    The tour arrives in support of Crown Magnetar’s recent singles “Impaled Genesis” and “Desecrate Infinite,” which also mark the debut recordings featuring new guitarist Rob Maramonte (formerly of The Zenith Passage and Fallujah). With new material already circulating and momentum building, fans are already speculating that a full-length announcement may not be far behind.
    Vocalist Dan Tucker comments:


    “We’re beyond excited to announce ‘The Sawed Off Suffering Tour’ alongside our friends in To The Grave. This package represents some of the most punishing bands in heavy music, and we wanted to build something that delivers pure intensity from start to finish. With Face Yourself joining us as direct support and a rotating lineup featuring Backbiter, Tracheotomy, Squelching, I Declare War, and Ameonna, every night is going to be an absolute assault. If you’re looking for a tour built around relentless brutality, and the heaviest bands in the scene, ‘The Sawed Off Suffering Tour’ is exactly that.”


    The routing spans the United States and Canada from mid-September through mid-October, hitting major markets including Chicago, Toronto, New York, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Denver. Each night will feature different support combinations, ensuring no two shows feel the same.

    Beyond the North American run, Crown Magnetar will head straight into Europe to join tech-death titans Archspire as direct support on the European Vacation Tour , alongside The Zenith Passage and Analepsy.

    The European trek kicks off October 23 in Köln, Germany, and runs through November 21 in Helsinki, Finland, hitting major cities across the UK and Europe including London, Paris, Berlin, Madrid, Milan, Copenhagen, and more.
    With back-to-back touring cycles, a stacked lineup, and new material already in circulation, Crown Magnetar are clearly entering a new era of momentum. And if The Sawed Off Suffering Tour name is any indication, they’re not planning on slowing down anytime soon.
