Swedish heavy rock outfit Sister Sin has dropped a second new single, “Drive”, continuing its return after more than a decade without new material. The track follows last month’s “Suicide Hill”, which marked Sister Sin’s first new music in 12 years.

Both “Drive” and “Suicide Hill” were recorded by the band’s current lineup: Liv Jagrell on vocals, Jimmy Hiltula on guitar, Andreas Strandh on bass, Dave Sundberg on drums and Sebastian Svedlund on rhythm guitar. The songs were mixed and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios.

“Suicide Hill” pulls inspiration from the 1988 cult film Maniac Cop and the novel Suicide Hill by James Ellroy, tying horror themes into the band’s hard-edged sound.

Although Sister Sin announced its reunion in December 2019, the pandemic stalled live plans. The band finally returned to the stage in June 2022 with a show at Backstage Rockbar in Trollhättan, Sweden.

The group originally called it quits in November 2015. In a statement at the time, the band explained that its “relentless” touring and recording schedule had taken a toll and that “the motivation for some members just wasn’t there anymore.” Even then, the door was left open for another chapter: “It is our hope that the flame will burn once again and hopefully resurrect this Swedish bastard sometime in the future. Time will tell…”

Eleven years ago, Jagrell reflected on the breakup in an interview with Sleaze Roxx. “We toured too much and we got burned out. That’s the simple answer. They just felt like they did not want to do this anymore. [In 2015], we had been out for almost four months or something so it’s a lot of time away from family. It’s a lot of time away from friends. And also just to survive in the business is hard, so I think we maybe worked too hard in the last years.”

With two new singles now out, Sister Sin is clearly pushing forward again, picking up where it left off — only this time with a reset and a renewed focus.

Tårfödd Announces New Album Mörker täcker livets ljus – Purity Through Fire Sets March 28 International Release Date
Sweden’s depressive black metal underground just keeps churning, and this time the storm rolls in under the banner of Purity Through Fire. The label has officially set March 28 as the international CD release date for the sixth full-length from Tårfödd, titled Mörker täcker livets ljus.
Formed in 2022, Tårfödd has wasted zero time carving out a name in the DSBM scene. In just a few short years, mastermind Simon Lindgren has unleashed five full-length albums, nine singles, two EPs, and multiple collaborations. That kind of output is not normal. It is obsession-level dedication. And it shows. His sound trades in supreme melancholy, bittersweet majesty, layered textures, and that soul-draining emotional weight that fans of the genre crave when they want to stare into the abyss and have it stare right back.
While Purity Through Fire does not often dip into depressive black metal territory, they made a notable exception in 2025 with the release of Lidande. Now, with Tårfödd’s entire catalog housed under the label’s banner, the partnership feels locked in. With Mörker täcker livets ljus, Lindgren pushes even deeper into cathartic darkness.
The new album runs a formidable 62 minutes and features nine tracks soaked in cold atmosphere and raw emotion. Adding even more weight to the record, Revenant of Sarkrista, Order of Nosferat, Siechknecht, and Velmorth lends his tortured vocals to five of the nine tracks. His unmistakable presence seals the pact between artist and label, dragging the album further into sublime misery.
Musically, Lindgren sharpens every weapon in his arsenal. Cold, slicing riff work collides with transcendent lead lines. Heartbroken piano passages drift in and out like fading memories. Tempos shift almost effortlessly, yet always with a clear understanding that this is black metal first and foremost.
The title track stands as the album’s emotional centerpiece. Over nine minutes, it pulls listeners into undulating waves of obsidian sorrow before downshifting into a breathtaking ethereal passage that feels almost redemptive. It is the kind of track where time dissolves and you willingly drown in the atmosphere. Then it closes the circle, bringing that bittersweet ache home in a way that lingers long after the final note.
Fans can get a first taste of the album now with the brand-new track “Farväl till allt,” streaming at Purity Through Fire’s official YouTube channel.
Mörker täcker livets ljus arrives March 28 on CD. For devotees of depressive black metal and those who appreciate immersive, emotionally charged songwriting, this release is set to be one of 2026’s essential listens.

The New Hampshire producer Maya Bouldry-Morrison has been crafting house tracks under the name Octo Octa since 2011, and she’ll release her new album Sigils For Survival this spring. The LP is Octo Octa’s first since 2019’s Resonant Body, and it marks a full decade since she came out as transgender. She drew a sigil…

Two years ago, Billy Morrison—the British guitarist, singer, and songwriter, primarily known as Billy Idol’s rhythm guitar player for the past 17 years alongside lead guitarist Steve Stevens—released The Morrison Project via TLG/ZOID/Virgin Music Group. It marked his third solo album (and first since 2015) and produced the #1 Active Rock Song (Mediabase) in America: “Crack Cocaine” featuring Ozzy Osbourne and Steve Stevens and co-written by all three artists. A deluxe edition of the album followed in 2025 and bonus track, “Gods Of Rock and Roll (Orchestral)”—another seismic collaboration with Osbourne and Stevens—landed in the Active Rock Top Ten (Mediabase).

Morrison will build on that success with his upcoming album Hollow, out sometime in August via TLG/ZOID/Virgin Music Group. The album will launch with the March 27 release of its first single and video “Becoming” which was written by Morrison, Sully Erna (Godsmack) and Brett Scallions; it features Erna on lead vocals and Grammy Award-winner Nuno Bettencourt (Extreme) on lead guitar.

Hollow will follow the success of 2024’s The Morrison Project format with 12 songs, half sung by Morrison and half sung by a handful of Morrison‘s friends. Guests include Dexter Holland, Marilyn Manson, Chuck D, B Real, Duff McKagan, Steve Stevens, DMC, and the above-mentioned Sully Erna and Nuno Bettencourt, among others. “Forgive Me,” “The Tailor,” “No Suspects,” “Another Day,” “Leave No Trace,” and “Becoming” are among the song titles.

“The last album was so much fun and such a creative experience for me that I got the band back together for a follow up record,” says Billy. It’s on the same label (TLG/ZOID/Virgin Music Group), with the same crew (Barry Pointer mixing the record, Dave Donnelly mastering and all art and photography by Jane Stuart) and I’m excited to share this body of work with the world.” He adds: “The guests on this record are at the core of the collaborative spirit that I try to put in the center of these records. Every single person I worked with stepped up, brought their A game and helped me produce an album that crosses genres, features some really diverse songwriting, and yet has a truly cohesive, and powerful sound. Ultimately, I am just grateful to everyone involved for allowing me to do this again.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
DETERIOROT’s New Video “Fallen Misery” Premieres at Decibel Magazine
U.S. death metal legends DETERIOROT have returned to the forefront of the underground with the premiere of their crushing new video for “Fallen Misery” —exclusively hosted today on Decibel Magazine , one of the heaviest trafficked metal platforms online. Metal Devastation PR is proud to have facilitated this premiere, showcasing the band’s uncompromising legacy to a global audience.
Decibel writes:


“There are death metal bands who chased trends. And then there are bands like Deteriorot—who stayed in the shadows long enough to become part of them.
Formed in the late ’80s, Deteriorot have always operated in that suffocating space where doom-drenched atmosphere collides with American underground brutality. They never pivoted. Never softened. Never polished the edges off what made them dangerous in the first place. And now, nearly four decades deep, they return with a new video for ‘Fallen Misery,’ the exclusive single from Echoes From The Past —out February 4 via Faithless Entertainment.”


The track is pure DETERIOROT: guitars that crush with weight over speed, vocals exhaling ancient menace, and a slow-burning ritualistic tension that fans of Immolation and Incantation will instantly recognize. The accompanying video amplifies the oppressive atmosphere, a visual extension of the band’s cavernous, liturgical approach to death metal.
Echoes From The Past , out now via Faithless Entertainment, is the definitive archival presentation of DETERIOROT’s early era. This deluxe edition restores the band’s full 2002 demo, includes the seminal 1993 EP Manifested Apparitions of Unholy Spirits , and adds three new tracks—including “Fallen Misery” —exclusive to vinyl and digital formats.
Fronted by founding member Paul Zavaleta , DETERIOROT have maintained their singular, doom-laden identity since the late ’80s, refusing trends and compromise. Long hailed by Blabbermouth as essential death metal history, they continue to define the darker, more oppressive side of American death metal.
Watch the premiere of “Fallen Misery” at Decibel Magazine and experience a band that never left the abyss, only learned how to command it.
