    The album is called ‘Who Sold You This Truth ++ Was It Yours To Hold’, and will arrive on August 28 via Solid State Records.

    It will include the band’s freshly dropped single ‘Pressure’, which is a wicked encapsulation of their atmospheric and visceral sound.

    Speaking on the new single, vocalist Travis Moseley has shared:

    “Pressure is about the weight of your own mind crushing you from the inside out. This was one of the first songs made for the record. I was really feeling the pressure of signing my first record deal, making my first album, and it was all coming to a head. I’m so grateful to have all of this pressure in my life.”

    Take a listen below.

    Titled ‘Dreamstate Of Fear’, it will be released on July 24 and features previously released track ‘Dreamstate Of Hell’.

    The EP will also include the freshly dropped ‘Jericho’, which takes us on a dark detour further into Mimi Barks’ self-defined ‘doom trap’ sound.

    On the track, she’s shared:

    “What looks like collapse is really release, an undoing of everything that was never truly mine. There’s no real enemy unless you choose to become one to yourself. The shift happens when the self remembers itself, when the energy turns inward and transforms. The old world dissolves making space for something unknown. That’s where freedom begins. What will you choose? Heaven or Hell?”

    Released alongside a gnarly video filmed in Bordeaux and central Paris, check it out below.

    Take a look at the artwork and tracklisting for ‘Dreamstate Of Fear’ below.

    1) Dreamstate of Hell

    2) Ophelia

    3) Jericho

    4) Power durch Verrat

    5) Polarity

    6) Butterfly in Chains

    07) States of Consciousness

    Currently rounding out her debut US tour, Mimi Barks will return to Europe this summer for dates with King 810 and Wargasm before her headline tour in September.

  • Five Finger Death Punch / Lamb Of God And Bleed From Within Join Arena Tour

    Five Finger Death Punch - OVO Arena Wembley - 23 May 2024

    Five Finger Death Punch have announced the UK and European leg of their 20th Anniversary World Tour, set for early 2027. The Heavy Metal giants will be joined by Lamb Of God and Bleed From Within for what promises to be one of the biggest Metal tours of the year. FFDP are currently recording their 10th studio album, which will be released this year. Expect the first new single this month.

    Kicking off in Manchester on 16 January 2027, the tour will hit 21 cities before concluding in Helsinki on 22 February 2027. The run celebrates two decades since the band’s formation and their rise to global arena headliners.

    The band are currently recording their tenth studio album, due later this year, with a new single expected imminently. Fans can expect a setlist blending new material with classic hits that have defined their career.

    Guitarist Zoltan Bathory said the tour represents both a celebration and a statement of the band’s continued growth and global reach. “We built this band like a battleship,” Bathory said. “Twenty years of everything life could throw at us, and we’re not just still here, we’re still growing. New fans discovering us every day, the fanbase bigger now than it’s ever been.

    “This World Tour is the celebration that milestone deserves. First leg is America in 2026, then Europe in 2027, and we’re not stopping there! South America, Australia, Asia are all in the talks.

    “This is going to be a big two or three years for Five Finger Death Punch, and we’re just getting started.”

    Lamb Of God bring their trademark intensity and legacy as one of modern Metal’s most respected acts, while Bleed From Within continue their ascent as one of the UK’s most exciting Heavy bands.

    Artist, O2 & Venue Partner Presales Start Wednesday, 6 May at 10 am Local time. Spotify Presale Starts Thursday, 7 May at Noon Local Time. General Onsale Begins Friday, 8 May at 10 am Local Time.

  • Devin Townsend Announces Metamorphosis Solo Tour

    Devin Townsend - Hartford Amphitheater, Bridgeport - 30 June 2023

    Devin Townsend has announced his Metamorphosis solo UK and European tour for 2026, marking his return to the stage following a previously declared hiatus. The tour supports his upcoming album The Moth, released on 29 May, and will see Townsend perform across 23 dates in 10 countries.

    Known for his boundary-pushing approach to Heavy Metal and progressive music, Townsend will deliver an intimate and unpredictable solo performance, drawing from his extensive catalogue including Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Project and more.

    Townsend describes The Moth as the culmination of his musical journey, representing both personal evolution and artistic reflection.

    “The Moth feels like the culmination of all my musical experiences and my journey in life so far,” Devin Townsend said. “And as The Moth spreads its wings, I’m also aware of how much I’ve changed, and consequently how much remains to be expressed.

    “The making of this album took me on quite a journey of self-exploration. This opportunity to get out there, tell my story with this renewed clarity, celebrate my entire anthology of music across a variety of projects (and the stories behind them), offers an opportunity to connect with the audience who made this all happen and do what I love in the process: Play music.

    “I’ve been told The Moth seems like my life’s work and I would agree, though it was a life that no longer exists. Moving into this new life is the path now, and these events offer an introduction to that.”

    Fans can expect varied setlists, storytelling and unique performances throughout the run, offering a rare and unfiltered live experience.

    Devin Townsend’s latest studio album, The Moth, is out worldwide on 29 May 2026 via Inside Out Music (Sony Music). Pre-orders are available from dvn.lnk.to/TheMoth.

    Tickets for the Metamorphosis Solo UK & European Tour 2026 are on general sale on 8 May 2026 at 10 am BST. For more details, visit www.hevydevy.com.
