It’s a sure sign that we’re all getting old when a band we’ve followed since the beginning is now hitting the 30+ year career mark and releasing their fifteenth studio album. It’s as if it were yesterday that Sevendust were the new kids on the block, giving the more established acts a run for their money. This week they release ‘One’ and find themselves as the established act having continued their glittering career for more than three decades.
The album opens with its title track, an alarm bell of an intro brings you to attention, alerting the listener to the oncoming aural assault. ‘Unbreakable’ has a softer intro, complete with keys before the unmistakable vocals of Lajon Witherspoon kick in, the passion in his voice oozes through, hooking you from the off.
The album sees Sevendust thrive with a new lease of life, ‘Is This The Real You’ and ‘We Won’ have an upbeat feel with their ever-so-catchy riffs, whilst ‘Construct’ will have the listener headbanging to the explosive beat, the bands power at full throttle by this point.
A lot of the songs on the album have a jarring, abrasive intro, almost industrial in nature, but as those opening seconds fade the songs explode into life. This is evident on ‘The Drop’ where the intro fades into another burst of energy accompanied by Witherspoons silky smooth vocal style. As we enter the latter part of the album ‘Blood Price’ has a battering ram of a riff that hits from the off, it feels like your head is strapped to a firing Gatling gun as it explodes into life. Whilst album closer ‘Misdirection’ lives up to its name, averting us from the chaos we have just witnessed with a mellowed, come down feel.
Sevendust stepped up to the plate on their recent UK run with Alter Bridge and the album ‘One’ builds on their momentum. It shows a band growing into a beast and heightens anticipation for their first UK headline tour in eight years, coming this December.

California’s favorite mincecore practitioners, HAGGUS, will release The Mincecore Manifesto 12″ EP via Tankcrimes on June 26th.

Arriving just one year after their critically adored Tankcrimes debut, Destination Extinction, the freaks are back and they’re faster, filthier, and more […]
Eivør has returned with a powerful new single, Healer, marking a new chapter in her evolving sound and artistic journey. Blending atmospheric textures, cinematic elements and raw vocals, Healer explores themes of self-worth, resilience and transformation.
The track reflects a deeply personal narrative. “Healer is a conversation with my younger self,” Eivør says, “the one who once doubted everything and didn’t feel like she was enough. It lives in the space of falling and finding your footing. The song holds onto the idea that even in those moments, something stronger is quietly building.”
The accompanying black-and-white video expands on the emotional depth of the song, using symbolic imagery to explore identity and healing. “I poured my heart into this song,” Eivør says. “I hope it meets you where you are, and maybe offers you a sense of strength and healing.”
Alongside the new release, Eivor has announced extensive touring plans. These include a North American tour in October and November 2026, followed by a European tour in spring 2027. Tickets for North America and Europe will go on general sale on Friday, 1 May 2026. A pre-sale is available now. Sign up here: https://laylo.com/eivor.

Chronologically progressing through albums from their formative years, from I’m A Rebel (1980) to Eat The Heat (1989), Accept present their songs with an all-new, all-star lineup, alongside the signature voice of Mark Tornillo and Wolf Hoffmann’s unmistakable riffs.
By enlisting a Who’s Who of Metal, no two songs on Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 are the same. Every track features a different combination of vocals, guitars, bass, and drums, giving each classic a fresh edge.
Tobias Forge delivers a commanding performance on the track Save Us (I’m A Rebel, 1980), joined by Ray Luzier on drums. Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee tear through the Speed Metal classic Fast As A Shark (Restless And Wild, 1982).
Balls To The Wall surges with the powerful range of Metal God Rob Halford, alongside the guitar work of Matthias Jabs, while the reimagined Love Child is elevated by Billy Corgan and David Ellefson (both songs from Balls To The Wall, 1983).
Other guest stars on Accept’s extraordinary release include K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund, and Jeff Loomis.
The album also features a re-recording of Hellhammer (Eat The Heat, 1989), performed by Accept’s current lineup of Wolf Hoffmann, bassist Martin Motnik, guitarist Philip Shouse and drummer Christopher Williams, joined by Jason McMaster on vocals.
