Originally founded as a solo project by singer Georg Wilfinger (ex-Miasma) in 2010 in Austria, MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY has released three studio albums, an EP and a demo up to now. Previous full-length album “Vile Postmortem Irrumatio” was released in August 2024 and drew roaring reviews worldwide. Those relentless purveyors of auditory violence and “Mindhunters” […]

Melodic death metal outfit Inferi continue to not fuck around leading up to the release of their forthcoming album Heaven Wept, as they dropped their latest single “Godless Sky”.

Featuring all the brutal riffs, pummeling rhythms, and abyssal vocals you’d expect from the band, this new track not only rips, but it helps progress the album’s overarching story. Vocalist Stevie Boiser explains:

“‘Godless Sky’ captures the descent into prophetic mania. A mind fractured by the crescendo of our seemingly inevitable race towards self annihilation. ‘In the absence of our deity we’ve penned a new end to the human odyssey.’ Its the torment of baring witness, and the dreadful revelation that you are hopeless to stop it.”

Heaven Wept will be released on April 10 through The Artisan Era, but you can preorder your copy today.

Additionally, you can catch Inferi live as they support Defeated Sanity on tour this spring. The run of dates will also include Organectomy on all dates, while Excresence, Scasm, and Horrific Vision will show up at various points throughout the tour.

Frontiers Music Srl’s 30th Anniversary celebrations continue with a new milestone moment, as Dave Mustaine of Megadeth congratulates the label following the global success of the band’s latest release, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200.

This achievement is a significant result for Frontiers and its partners, showing the label’s continued growth and global impact.

Mustaine recorded a video message for Frontiers President & CEO Serafino Perugino and the entire team, recognizing the collaboration behind the campaign.

The message follows Frontiers’ recent 30th anniversary celebration in Naples, marking three decades of independent growth, nearly 2,000 releases, and its evolution into a global rock and metal powerhouse.

As part of this milestone moment, Megadeth recently gathered in Nashville for “Thrash The Charts, Megadeth’s #1 Celebration,” an event honouring the album’s chart-topping success.

“The last two private events for Megadeth fans were a reward for all the hard work leading up to this,” Dave Mustaine says. “Thank you to our label Frontiers and BLKIIBLK, our management at CTK Enterprises, BMI, Warner Chappell, The Orchard, and all of our guests and VIP’s. It was a blast!”

“Congratulations to Dave and Megadeth on this historic moment”, says Jeff Stevenson, General Manager, Frontiers Label Group/BLKIIBLK Records. “We, at Frontiers Label Group/BLKIIBLK Records, couldn’t be prouder to have partnered with the band and CTK Management to help achieve this amazing accomplishment, marking a milestone in the legendary career of one of metal’s most important bands.”

Following the performance, commemorative #1 plaques were presented to the band and key partners, including Frontiers Label Group / BLKIIBLK, alongside The Orchard and other collaborators.

Released in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s BLKIIBLK label, the album debuted at #1 in 11 countries worldwide and reached Top 5 positions in 11 additional territories, marking one of the most significant achievements in the label’s history.

Thirty years after its founding in Naples, Frontiers continues to expand its international presence while remaining focused on its core mission: supporting artists, developing long-term careers, and delivering global success through strong creative and commercial partnerships.

How detox helped save Anthony Kiedis’ soul, and possibly his life

Spencer Krug has been enjoying a fun little zeitgeist moment thanks to Heated Rivalry‘s prominent use of Wolf Parade’s “I’ll Believe In Anything.” But now it’s back to new music. Krug is back today with news of a new album, Same Fangs. It’s coming in May via his own Pronounced Kroog label, and lead single…

Jay-Z, whose last solo album arrived nearly a decade ago at this point, is still relevant as ever. This May he’ll be performing with the Roots as the headliner of their annual Roots Picnic, and in July he’ll be playing three hometown shows at Yankee Stadium: One celebrating the 30th anniversary of his debut album Reasonable Doubt, one for 25 years of The Blueprint, and a newly-announced third “Extra Innings” show that we’re assuming will compile his greatest hits from other albums. Sounds like it’s a good time for Jay to sit down for an interview.

“Hello BAAAAAYBY!”  The coolest way to enter in to the new era of post David Lee Roth in 1986 was new singer Sammy Hagar’s intro to “Good Enough,” the opening track on the band’s first collaboration together. 5150 was a milestone for this legendary band, not only because of the dynamic switch in front men, but it was also the first recordings made almost entirely at guitarist Edward Van Halen’s home studio of the same name. Now remixed and remastered along with some expanded tracks, it has been re-released for the 40th anniversary of its 1986 explosive drop, which resulted in the band’s first ever #1 record. Rhino Records has released 5150 (Expanded Edition), a groundbreaking collection on vinyl, CD and Blu-ray, directly from the original master tapes overseen by the band’s longtime engineer Don Landee.

The set also introduces more than 90 minutes of previously unreleased live recordings from the band’s August 27, 1986 concert at New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New Haven, Connecticut. These are joined by a selection of rare 7” single edits and extended 12” versions. The Blu-Ray includes a new high-definition upgrade of Live Without A Net, Van Halen’s double-Platinum 1986 concert video that was also recorded that same August night in New Haven, along with promotional videos for “Dreams” and “Why Can’t This Be Love.” The LPs come in standard black, but a limited Amazon-exclusive green vinyl version is also available. Again, the packaging on all formats has been updated and looks great.

The set sounds incredible when played at a loud volume. All songs are much crisper than the original releases. The extended versions of “Why Can’t This Be Love” and “Dreams” are mostly just repeats on the chorus, but are cool to have included. The real treat is the high-definition upgrade on the Blu-Ray version of “Live Without a Net.” The video is much sharper than the original, and the live recordings sound is outstanding. Relive the joy and excitement of the re-tooled and remastered Van Halen the way it was meant to be heard, cultivated from the original recordings, and brought to a new life. “The Best of Both Worlds” so to speak…
