The Cure had a busy weekend. On Saturday, they headlined Primavera Sound 2026 at Barcelona’s Parc del Fòrum and performed some rarities. The following day frontman Robert Smith made a special appearance during bestie Olivia Rodrigo’s surprise Primavera set for the debut of their collab “what’s wrong with me.” To cap off the weekend, yesterday, the Cure closed out the last night of the North Festival in Porto, Portugal.
A borderline Breaking Boundaries show in Glasgow this evening, with Sofia Isella being listed as a rock act in some place, but “not the kind of rock that I know” according to one of our crew. So ideal fodder for us to spread our wings and find out why tickets for tonight’s gig were going … Continue reading Gig Review: Sofia Isella / Seb Lowe – Academy, Glasgow (3rd June 2026)

7D Media is proud to announce Transmogrify, the bold new album from Jane Getter Premonition, arriving July 10, 2026. At once a mirror and a metamorphosis, Transmogrify is a record about change — personal, political, and musical — rendered through the lens of progressive rock at its most exploratory and emotionally alive.
Jane Getter Premonition is Jane Getter (Saturday Night Live Band, Jack McDuff), Adam Holzman (Miles Davis, Steven Wilson) Alex Skolnick (Testament, Trans-Siberian Orchestra), Paul Frazier (David Byrne, Niles Rogers), and Gene Lake (Marcus Miller, Nile Rogers & Chic). Joining them are special guests Russell Holzman (Caroline Polachek), Mark Egan (Pat Metheny), and Chandra Rule (Kirk Lightsey).
Together, they form one of progressive rock’s most compelling ensembles — a band whose command of technical virtuosity never comes at the expense of emotional depth. Transmogrify is their latest act of creative courage: a record that reflects our turbulent times without losing sight of beauty, transformation, and the possibility of change.
Most of the songs on this album began as something else entirely, transforming through the creative process into the forms they now inhabit. The album’s title track reflects on the artist’s evolving desires and experiences while acknowledging the shifting currents of a world in flux. He’s Gone Away delves into the illusion of escape — the realization that what haunts us follows wherever we go. Blinded confronts the dangers of blind allegiance. And Little Steps — a solo acoustic guitar piece — stands as a tender tribute to the late, great Ralph Towner.
Lyrically and sonically, Transmogrify is an album that holds out hope even as it confronts difficult truths — a record for a world that is, like the music itself, in the midst of becoming something new.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Severed Sun Announce New Studio Album Complexities of Conflict
Central Florida heavy hitters Severed Sun are set to return with their third full length studio album, Complexities of Conflict , a release that pushes deeper into their signature blend of groove, aggression, and melody while carving out new sonic territory. Release date is currently listed as TBD.
Rooted in the Orlando and Clermont music scenes, Severed Sun have built a reputation over more than a decade of relentless live shows, tight musicianship, and a sound that swings from bluesy hard rock swagger to down tuned sludge, speed driven metal, and atmospheric clean passages without losing its edge.
The band features Kevin (guitars), Ricky (guitars), Rod (vocals), Daryl (bass), and Gavin (drums). Together they continue to refine a sound built on hook driven riffs, strong vocal range, and blistering lead work that hits just as hard in a club as it does on record.
About the New Record
Complexities of Conflict marks the band’s third studio release and follows their earlier EPs Strength Judged By Power and Catacombs , the latter released worldwide through Metal Scrap Records .
A band statement on the record sums it up plainly:
“This will be the 3rd studio album release from Severed Sun, featuring explorations of new directions, familiar grooves, and even more brutal but memorable riffs.”
If the past releases were about proving impact, this new chapter is about expanding it. Expect heavier lows, sharper hooks, and a wider emotional range without losing the grit that defines the band.
Live Legacy
Severed Sun are no strangers to the road. Their touring history includes the Last Rites Tour in 2018 and the Call to Arms Tour in 2024, both stretching across the U.S. east coast and landing them on stages in 11 states, including legendary stops like Dingbatz in Clifton, NJ and The Rooster in Gastonia, NC.
Over the years, they have shared stages with acts such as Quiet Riot, Green Jellÿ, Madam Mayhem, The D.O.O.D., From Blue to Grey, Meka Nism, F.I.L.T.H., Murderfly, and SoulSwitch, proving their ability to hold their own alongside both legacy and rising names in heavy music.
Sound and Influences
Fans of classic and modern heavy music will find familiar ground here. Severed Sun draw from the raw weight of Black Sabbath , the groove aggression of Pantera , the melodic precision of Iron Maiden , and the modern punch and swagger of Black Label Society , blending it into something that sits comfortably in today’s heavy music landscape while still respecting the roots.
About Severed Sun
Severed Sun are an experienced metal and hard rock band based in Central Florida, known for high energy performances and a diverse but consistently heavy sound. Their catalog includes two EPs and a growing catalog of live experience that has made them a steady presence in the underground metal circuit.
With Complexities of Conflict , the band steps forward with intent, heavier, sharper, and more dialed in than ever.
