Second track from upcoming album ‘Indigo’ has strong links to the supergroup’s past. Continue reading…

Knocked Loose have donated $8,000 to Jamie Ulshoffer, the woman who was paralyzed from the waist down during the band’s Louder Than Life set in Louisville last weekend. She was standing at the back right corner of the tented stage with her husband when a man climbed one of four trees behind the tent and fell onto her, severing her spinal cord.

The band are now the single largest contributor to her GoFundMe by a wide margin. They have not posted about it, issued a statement, or told anybody they did it — it was found because their name is on a public fundraising page. Police have said there will be no criminal investigation, and the festival has declined to comment on the incident.

What Happened Behind The Tent

There are four trees behind the tented stage at Louder Than Life. Anyone who has been to that festival has walked past them a hundred times without registering them.

Jamie Ulshoffer and her husband Conor were at the back right corner of that tent watching Knocked Loose. Somebody climbed one of those trees, presumably to get a view over the crowd. He fell.

Conor’s account of it, given to press this week, is short and it is the worst thing you will read today: ‘We were actually at the backside of the tent and there’s four trees in the back… We were on the back right corner. I turn around and see her on her back… Then everyone said some dude fell out of a tree.’

She was taken to hospital. Her spinal cord was severed. She is paralyzed from the waist down.

From her bed in intensive care, Jamie said this: ‘I can’t feel my feet. Can’t do anything that I used to.’

That is the whole story and there is no version of it that makes sense. She was standing still, watching a band, doing nothing wrong, at the back of a tent. The man who fell has not been publicly identified.

Knocked Loose Gave $8,000 And Said Nothing

Here is the part I did not expect.

Knocked Loose donated $8,000 to her fundraiser. As of yesterday that GoFundMe sat at roughly $28,000 against a $40,000 goal, and the band’s contribution is the largest single line on it by a distance — it is not a gesture, it is close to a third of everything raised.

And there is no announcement. No Instagram post. No statement to the press. No story on the band’s page. Nobody from that band has said one word about it publicly. It surfaced because the donation is visible on a public page with their name attached to it.

I want to be blunt about why that matters, because I have watched this industry for a long time and I know exactly how this normally goes. A band in that position issues a statement. There is a graphic with a link. There is a line about family and community. Sometimes it is sincere and sometimes it is reputation management, and from the outside you frequently cannot tell the difference.

Knocked Loose did the thing and skipped the part where they get credit for it. That is rarer than it should be.

Louisville is their hometown. Louder Than Life is their hometown festival. She was at their set. They had no idea any of it was happening while it happened, they had no part in causing it, and nobody has suggested for a second that they did.

No Criminal Investigation, And No Comment From The Festival

Police have said there will be no criminal investigation into what happened. Their position is that this is a civil matter.

The festival’s entire public comment is this: ‘Due to patient privacy, we are unable to comment on or provide additional details regarding specific medical incidents.’

Both of those statements are defensible. Neither of them is any use to Jamie Ulshoffer.

‘Civil matter’ means nobody is being charged, and it also means that if she wants anything from anyone she has to sue for it. Suing a private individual who climbed a tree is only worth doing if that individual has assets, and most people who climb trees at festivals do not. Patient privacy is a real legal obligation and it is also an extremely convenient thing to be able to say when the alternative is discussing your site plan.

I am not accusing Louder Than Life of negligence. I do not know what their fencing looked like, what their site assessment said, or what their duty of care actually extended to, and neither does anybody else writing about this today. Danny Wimmer Presents run a serious operation and that festival has a long safety record.

But somebody got up a tree at a major festival and stayed up there long enough to fall out of it. Whatever the legal answer is, that is an operational fact, and there will be trees behind that tent again next September unless somebody decides otherwise.

Who Actually Ends Up Paying

This is the part that has been sitting with me.

A woman went to a festival and came home unable to walk. The police are not pursuing it. The festival will not discuss it. The man responsible is unnamed and, in practical terms, probably unreachable. Her medical costs and the rest of her life have to be paid for by somebody.

So the bill lands where it always lands. On her. On her husband. On strangers on the internet in twenty-dollar increments. And on a hardcore band from Louisville who happened to be on stage and who owed nobody anything.

Eight thousand dollars is a lot of money for a band at Knocked Loose’s level, whatever their profile looks like from the outside. They are not a stadium act with a foundation and a tax advantage. They wrote a cheque they did not have to write and then said nothing about it.

Good on them. Every word of that is meant.

And it should not be the safety net. A band’s conscience is not a system. If the only thing standing between a catastrophically injured festival-goer and a GoFundMe shortfall is whether the act on stage happens to be decent, then something upstream is not working — and that is a conversation for promoters and insurers, not for a band that was three songs into its set.

How To Help

The GoFundMe for Jamie Ulshoffer’s recovery and medical costs is live, and it is short of its goal. If you have anything spare, it is a good place to put it.

TL;DR

• Knocked Loose donated $8,000 to Jamie Ulshoffer and are the single largest contributor to her fundraiser.
• She was paralyzed from the waist down at Louder Than Life in Louisville last weekend when a man climbed a tree behind the tented stage and fell onto her, severing her spinal cord.
• She was standing at the back right corner of the tent with her husband Conor, watching the band’s set.
• The band made no announcement. No statement, no post — the donation was only visible because the fundraiser is public.
• Her GoFundMe stood at roughly $28,000 of a $40,000 goal as of yesterday.
• Police say there will be no criminal investigation and are treating it as a civil matter.
• The festival’s only comment cites patient privacy.
• The man who fell has not been publicly identified. Knocked Loose had no involvement in the incident and nobody has suggested otherwise.

South Carolina stoner metal veterans CALUS are making their long-anticipated return with The Evolution of Social Exclusion.

This six-song EP marks CALUS’ first newly recorded work since 2006’s Spiritual Warfare. And the band hasn’t missed a step. At times sludgy, at times trippy and always heavy, The Evolution of Social Exclusion delivers non-stop, bottom-heavy groove, crushing riffs and a hazy Southern swagger.

CALUS has thus far released two singles off The Evolution of Social Exclusion – “No Curses,” a more aggressive cut that pushes the band’s attack into proggier territory, and the sludge-forward stomper “Perdition Anthem.”

Stream both now on Spotify.

The Evolution of Social Exclusion is due out October 2nd on digital and CD formats. Vinyl treatment for the album is coming soon.

Swedish hard rock queens Thundermother are back with their Napalm Records studio debut, “Mothers of Thunder”, out on February 5, 2027. Their seventh album once again proves that the genre’s leading ladies can do everything men could—and maybe even better. Their rock’n’roll vibe comes in with dirty riffs and cheeky lines, the powerful delivery begging for energetic live shows. Thundermother have previously proven to excel at just that: after opening for the legendary Scorpions and Judas Priest, playing at iconic festivals like Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, or Sweden Rock, and releasing their first live album, “Live’n’Alive”, in 2026, the four-piece is ready for a new era. “Mothers of Thunder” is high-energy encouragement for women as well as thrilling, head-bopping fun for everyone else.
 
Along with the announcement, Thundermother turn the genre on its head with the first single, “Bimbo Boost”. Playing the epic riff to Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water”backwards, the four-piece addresses the pressure on female artists to always look perfect when going on stage—an expectation that passes by male musicians.
 
Thundermother about “Bimbo Boost”:
“It’s damn hard being a woman. We have to do our makeup, straighten our hair, reverse aging, and always look our best. It’s exhausting. We wish we had a magic guitar booster pedal that instantly did all of that for us!
We love making fun music videos, and this time we went bananas!”

Watch the Official Music Video for “Bimbo Boost” NOW!

With their seventh album, Thundermother take a step to become nothing less than rock goddesses. “Mothers of Thunder” is their time to shine, putting genre colleagues in their places with ease. The future belongs to Thundermother!
 
Thundermother about “Mothers of Thunder:”
“We know that it’s what every band says when they’re releasing a new album, but this time it’s true. This is the best THUNDER-MOTHER album yet! The songwriting, the playing, and the lyrical themes have reached the next level, and we can’t wait to share Mothers of Thunder with the world!
 
Mothers of Thunder has killer riffs, groovy grooves, and powerful vocals paired with fun energy and the occasional serious tone. But most importantly, it has Filippa, Joan, Linnéa, and Majsan! Our musicianship gets a real chance to shine, and I think you can hear how much fun we’re having through your speakers.
 
This album is for you, the old fans, the new fans, and the future fans. Together we will make sure to keep rock’n’roll alive and kicking! We are THUNDER-MOTHER, and this is Mothers of Thunder. Play it loud, sing along, and don’t forget to ROCK!”

Get Your Copy Of “Mothers of Thunder” NOW!

The somewhat self-titled opening title track, “Mothers of Thunder”, is an ode to all women as well as an invitation to join Thundermother in their ride. Calling mothers, daughters, and sisters as well as girlfriends and wives, the Swedish band is paving the way with this speedy track for those whom the future belongs to. “Restless” is another emancipatory manifesto: Singer Linnéa Vikström Egg teams up with her father, THERION’s Thomas Vikström, for a daddy-daughter argument turned song—a parent’s concerns on the one side, a child’s longing for freedom on the other, this song is as authentic as can be with real family delivering the vocals. Following, “Time Is Never Wasted (When You’re Wasted All The Time)” gifts “Mothers of Thunder” an instant rock classic, best played at clubs, pubs, or on the road, whereas “Front Row Bangers” goes straight back to the aforementioned live shows. The singalong hymn goes out to their most dedicated fans and the love they pour into the musicians on stage: “We do the show, but you’re the stars” lovingly underlines the importance of their support. Mid-tempo, blues-infused hard rocker “The Wet Blues”, dealing with a certain lust and loneliness, continues Thundermother‘s track record of delivering highly contagious bangers with strong vocal performances, having “Stalker” kick extra hard afterwards. Featuring Wild West vibes, this scarily calm song deals with a harsh reality of being a woman—from the perpetrator’s perspective. “Bimbo Boost” has the quartet return to their genre’s roots, only to turn them on their head: Playing the epic riff to Deep Purple’s “Smoke On The Water”backwards, Thundermother address the pressure on female artists to always look perfect when going on stage—an expectation that passes by male musicians. “Get Up” is another self-empowerment hymn for women, whereas “Perfectly Miserable” is the slower song (not a ballad!) every good rock album needs. The question “Do I Need A Doctor” is easily answered with a song this infectious, and raw “Dirty Word” follows in its footsteps. Closing off the album, “Shake Your Money Maker” adds a certain feel-good summer feeling to “Mothers of Thunder”.

1. Mothers of Thunder
2. Restless
3. Time Is Never Wasted (When You’re Wasted All The Time)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
METAL DEVASTATION RADIO AND PR SURPASS 30 MILLION VIEWS
Independent Metal Platform Reaches Historic Milestone With More Than 30.2 Million Lifetime Views
The milestone is official.
Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR have officially surpassed 30 million lifetime views , reaching an incredible 30,234,002 total views following another 305,524 views during August 2026 .
After closing July at 29,928,478 lifetime views , Metal Devastation crossed the 30 million mark and continued climbing, marking one of the biggest milestones in the platform’s history.
Built independently from the ground up through a relentless commitment to heavy music, Metal Devastation has spent more than a decade connecting underground artists with listeners, media outlets, labels, promoters, festivals, and metal fans around the world.
30 million views. One independent platform. More than a decade of underground metal.
30 MILLION AND COUNTING

August delivered another powerful month of growth for Metal Devastation, adding 305,524 views and bringing the platform’s all-time total to:
30,234,002 VIEWS

The August numbers also demonstrate just how far the platform’s reach continues to expand:


305,524 total views
161,000 active users
160,000 new users
1.1 million tracked events
1.22 million Google Search impressions
11,600 Google Search clicks
30,234,002 lifetime views

The growth from July to August pushed Metal Devastation from 29,928,478 views to 30,234,002 , adding more than 305,000 views in a single month .
But the milestone isn’t just about the number of views.
It’s about the people behind them.
160,000 NEW USERS DISCOVERED METAL DEVASTATION

One of the biggest stories behind August’s numbers was the platform’s continued ability to reach people who were discovering Metal Devastation for the first time.
Of the 161,000 active users recorded during August, approximately 160,000 were new users .
That means thousands upon thousands of people who had never previously interacted with the platform were discovering Metal Devastation, its artists, its coverage, its radio programming, and its growing collection of underground metal content.
Every new visitor represents another opportunity for an artist to be heard.
Another band to be discovered.
Another song to be played.
Another interview to be read.
Another metalhead to find something new.
SEARCHING FOR METAL

Google Search continues to be a major source of discovery for Metal Devastation.
During August, the platform generated 1.22 million Google Search impressions , resulting in 11,600 clicks from search results .
That means Metal Devastation content continues appearing in front of people actively searching for heavy music, bands, albums, interviews, reviews, news, festivals, and other metal-related content.
For independent artists, that visibility matters.
A band doesn’t necessarily need a massive corporate machine behind it to be discovered.
Sometimes it starts with a search.
A story.
A review.
An interview.
A premiere.
A radio stream.
A single click.
And then another.
1.1 MILLION EVENTS IN ONE MONTH

August also produced more than 1.1 million tracked events across the Metal Devastation platform.
Those events represent the constant activity happening across the network, including content views, radio activity, clicks, submissions, artist engagement, and other interactions throughout the platform.
Behind every statistic is something happening within the metal community.
Someone discovering a band.
Someone checking out a release.
Someone listening to MDR.
Someone reading an interview.
Someone sharing an article.
Someone finding their next favorite record.
That’s what the numbers represent.
FROM THE UNDERGROUND TO 30 MILLION

When Metal Devastation was built, the goal wasn’t to create another corporate media machine.
It was to create a platform where heavy music could exist on its own terms.
Since its founding in 2013 , Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR have continued building an independent ecosystem centered around underground metal.
That includes:


Metal Devastation Radio , delivering heavy music and programming to listeners worldwide
Metal Devastation PR , providing promotional campaigns and media exposure for independent artists
Artist interviews and original programming
News, reviews, premieres, and feature coverage
Support for independent labels and releases
Worldwide media outreach
Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest
Continued partnerships with artists, promoters, labels, DJs, journalists, and metal media

The platform has continued growing without losing sight of where it came from.
The underground.
FROM THE FRONTLINES

“Thirty million views is absolutely fucking incredible,” says Zach Moonshine .
“When we started this, there was no giant corporation behind us, no major investor, and no industry machine pushing this thing forward. It was built because we love heavy music and we believed the underground deserved a platform that would keep showing up.”
“Looking at that number now, 30,234,002 views , it’s hard to put into words. But what really matters to me isn’t just the number itself. It’s what happened inside that number.”
“Every one of those views represents somebody discovering something. A band. A song. An album. An interview. A festival. A radio show. Maybe even an artist that somebody had never heard before.”
“That’s the whole reason we do this.”
BUILT BY THE METAL COMMUNITY

Reaching 30 million views isn’t something Metal Devastation claims as an achievement belonging to one person.
It belongs to the community that continues making the platform possible.
To the bands creating the music.
To the labels putting out the records.
To the promoters putting shows together.
To the venues opening their doors.
To the festivals bringing people together.
To the DJs spinning new music.
To the journalists and media outlets covering the scene.
To the fans buying records, attending shows, sharing music, and keeping the underground alive.
And to every artist who has trusted Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR to help spread their music.
This milestone belongs to all of them.
THE NEXT 30 MILLION STARTS NOW

Crossing 30 million views doesn’t mean the mission is finished.
It means the next chapter has started.
Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR will continue supporting independent artists, promoting new releases, interviewing musicians, covering the underground scene, delivering heavy music around the clock, supporting live events, and creating opportunities for bands to reach new audiences.
The numbers will continue to change.
The artists will continue to evolve.
The scene will continue to grow.
And Metal Devastation will continue doing what it has done since 2013.
Showing up.
Turning up the volume.
And keeping the underground moving.
THANK YOU FOR 30 MILLION

30,234,002 views.
More than 30 million moments of discovery.
More than 30 million connections between music and listeners.
More than 30 million reasons to keep pushing forward.
To every band, musician, label, promoter, venue, festival organizer, journalist, DJ, media outlet, listener, and fan who has been part of this journey:
Thank you.
The underground doesn’t wait for permission.
It builds its own stage.
And this stage just crossed 30 million views .

Following “Ten Of Swords” comes the second single: On September 24, 2026, the Zurich-based metalcore/hardcore band Expellow released “Embers” with an official music video. After the rather metalcore-focused “Ten Of Swords,” “Embers” hits harder and brings a solid dose of hardcore and Nu Metal groove.

Straight to the clip: Youtube: Expellow – Embers (Official Video)

Mik (Vocals): “With Embers we wanted to venture stylistically into new territory. As kids of the 90s and 2000s, we love Crossover and Nu Metal, and finally with Embers we had a track that allowed this experiment to happen. Even if – or maybe especially because – the rap parts are something totally new for us, we had a lot of fun during the production and recording process. The song has real energy, and we’re very much looking forward to throwing it live. We think Embers will bring plenty of groove and probably account for one or two headaches. A little homage to the best time growing up, a touch of Nu Metal, Crossover and Hardcore – and 100% Expellow DNA.”

The video was shot at the same location and same weekend as the previous single “Ten Of Swords,” once again directed by Mirko Witzki (Witzki Vision) at Rusty Reel Studios.

In 2025, Expellow became the first Swiss band ever to win the international Wacken Metal Battle. In 2026, the Zurich-based metalcore/hardcore quintet celebrates its 20th anniversary (founded in 2006), with the same lineup since 2015. With over 100 shows in clubs, at festivals, and on tour, they have established themselves in the Swiss scene and beyond. The finale of their anniversary year comes on November 28th with the Heartline Festival at Dynamo Saal in Zurich, which the band created themselves. “Embers” is the last release before this highlight.

SCATTERBRAIN just keeps the bangers coming thick and fast with their latest track, another honest and heartfelt alt-rock epic.

Titled ‘ADDICTED TO THE HABIT’, it once again shows off Brian’s insatiable knack for penning a catchy hook alongside his crystalline vocals. And lyrically, it speaks of the highs and lows that come with not just life as a musician but within life in general, and just how dangerous it can be to just carry on just because it feels normal. Breaking away from the routine, making a change for the better and noticing when things have turned toxic; it is all a part of the process.

With every song, Brian reveals another piece of where his mind has been and points towards how much better he is now. And that is a pleasure to behold every time.

It follows on from ‘BITTER’, which sounds a lot like this:

SCATTERBRAIN was on the cover of Rock Sound earlier this year.

It’s easy to see why the label scooped RinRin up and signed her! She doesn’t just blur genre lines — she completely obliterates them like a head-on collision into hyper-pop, fuchsia-soaked madness.

Her new single and label debut “fever dream” is a whirlwind that is perfect for the TikTok generation in search of its next North Star. Her musical style and songs feel like their own elaborate universe, weaving together soaring euphoric melodies, blistering guitar work, pulsing electronics, and emotionally charged lyricism into an experience that’s equally suited for a festival main stage, an anime opening sequence, or a late-night drive with the windows down. 

“This song’s a hype song for when you’re feeling down,” says RinRin. “You’re not going to let your sadness stop you from achieving your goals and dreams. Being sad is basic bitch shit… who wants to do that?”

RinRin is here to uplift anyone who listens.

RinRin is also pleased to announce that she has partnered with Immortal Music Group for management. The company stated: “The first time we met RinRin and saw her performance, we were blown away — she’s a generational talent. We’re so excited to welcome her to the Immortal Music Group roster and see her next era unfold.”

In a 2024 lawsuit, an anonymous woman identified as Jane Doe accused Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs of raping her in 2000, when she was 13. Soon afterward, she admitted inconsistencies in her story and dropped her lawsuit, and Jay-Z sued her, calling the accusation “a false, malicious story.” Now, Jay’s accuser has recanted her allegations completely, saying that she has never even met the rapper.
