(Below you will find Daniel Barkasi’s review of a new album by the Icelandic band Mannveira which is being released today on Dark Descent Records.)

Doro Pesch has released a video for “You R Not Alone,” the second single from her upcoming special release Wild At Heart. The German metal queen is timing the whole package to land ahead of her Winter Magic tour, which kicks off Dec. 11, 2026.
“You R Not Alone” follows “Rock You 2 Death,” the lead single that surfaced in September. This one is a big, sweeping ballad, and the press materials call it one of the most gorgeous and grandiose in her catalog.
Pesch said, “This song totally gets under your skin, has a very positive message and hits right in the heart. “You R Not Alone” has an incredible amount of feeling and could become a second ‘forever’!”
The track is one of nine on the Wild At Heart lineup, which Pesch assembled with rock and metal diehards in mind. The pre-Christmas timing suits the title well.
Pesch explained, “The new tracks on Wild At Heart are all songs close to my heart, many of which have been created in the past few months. I wanted to have brand new songs for the upcoming tour that ignite on the album and live.”
That means fans should hear plenty of fresh material on the winter run.
Pesch added, “This special release really packs a punch. I can immediately add two or three new hits to the setlist, which will certainly be celebrated by the fans!”
Wild At Heart – Special Release (Tour Edition) arrives on Pesch‘s own label, Rare Diamonds Production, with distribution through Edel. Formats include:
Doro’s most recent studio album, Conqueress – Forever Strong And Proud, came out in October 2023 through Nuclear Blast.

Faroese visionary artist EIVØR today releases her stunning new album “Tungl” (16th October, Nuclear Blast Records).
To mark the occasion, you can now watch the new video for ‘Og Mánin Græt / And The Moon Cried‘ here:
Get “Tungl” here: https://eivor.bfan.link/tungl
Eivør comments: “The song is about a faint memory that still lingers, almost like a dream.
“I remember looking up at the moon in the dark sky when I was little, wondering why it always looked so sad. I would imagine all sorts of reasons, and my imagination would just wander off.
“The music video for this track was created by the incredible Gwenaël Akira. I just love how he understands my music in such a visual way and how he manages to capture the raw emotions, nature and a distorted dream like reality that captures the essence of this song beautifully.”
Tracklist:
01. Og mánin græt / And The Moon Cried
02. Drekafljóð / Dragon Maiden
03. Verjugarðar / Walls

Whether you’re already embedded into Eivør’s ever-expanding world or yet to fall under its spell, “Tungl” is a far-reaching journey of discovery.
“Tungl” – a Faroese word for ‘moon’ – sees Eivør reach further into elemental realms than ever before. Immersive, unmoored and steeped in a sense of time-stretched drama where familiar marker points give way as an inner compass emerges over its 10 searching tracks, it’s an album also in tune with a very contemporary need for navigation, self-belief and rejuvenation in the most uncertain of times.
Eivør has spent the summer performing across Europe, presenting a select number of headline concerts and appearing at leading festivals including Paléo Festival, Brutal Assault and Summer Breeze. She has two summer performances left, at ArcTanGent (UK) and Sun and Thunder Festival (Spain).
To celebrate the release of “Tungl”, Eivør will present three special album release concerts this October. Eivør will be playing two consecutive nightsat Nordic House in Tórshavn, Faroe Islands,today 16th and tomorrow 17thOctober, before she returns to Harpa’s Eldborg Hall in Reykjavík, Iceland, on 23rd October for a unique performance featuring special guest musicians in one of the Nordic region’s most iconic concert halls. These intimate events will offer audiences a rare opportunity to experience Tungl performed in a special setting before Eivør embarks on her extensive international tour.
Eivør will also be undertaking an extensive headline tour acrossNorth America later this year, and across Europe and the UK into 2027.

Tarja releases “Tango”, her spectacular collaboration with Finnish cello metal pioneers Apocalyptica and the latest single from her studio album “Frisson Noir”. Arriving alongside an official music video, the track unites two of Finland’s most iconic musical forces, on record and on screen.
Opening on a seductive tango rhythm carried by Apocalyptica’s cellos, the song builds tension until guitars, drums and cellos crash in for a huge, cinematic chorus. Tarja’s voice rises from intimate restraint to full power as she tells the haunting story of a life that passes by almost unnoticed.
Tarja says: “I wanted this song to be a special one, and as I have always loved the sound of the cello, Apocalyptica was the perfect artist to work with. Eicca, Perttu and Paavo made my dream come true.”
Apocalyptica add: “We have known Tarja since the mid-90s and working with her has always been at the top of our list of featuring artists or collaborators. It was so great to finally find the time and the song to work together. She originally redefined what it means to combine classical singing with metal and we are so happy for this collaboration.”
The official video brings Tarja together with all three members of Apocalyptica: Eicca Toppinen, Perttu Kivilaakso and Paavo Lötjönen, in a dark, cinematic performance that matches the drama of the song.
