Power metal outfit KingCrown has renewed contract with Rockshots Records for the release of their fifth studio album Moonfall in September, 2026. The latter was mixed and mastered by Simone Mularoni (Domination Studio). First single, “Lost Horizon”, drops on May 1st.

Too Early to Tell’s Old Timer is a fuzz-drenched blast of grunge-infused indie rock, balancing raw urgency with textured depth. Built on thick, distorted guitars and hazy shoegaze layers, the track moves from tense, restless verses into explosive, cathartic choruses that hit with full force. There’s a palpable live energy running throughout, giving the song an unpolished, immediate edge. Melodic instincts cut through the noise, keeping everything grounded and memorable.

Old Timer is gritty, dynamic, and emotionally charged—alt-rock with bite and atmosphere.

DES ROCS has shared details of their upcoming full-length, and it’s set to be a leather-clad rock-and-roll rager.

It’s titled ‘To Hell And Back’ and will be released on June 12 via Sumerian Records. It serves as the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Dream Machine’.

Mastermind Danny Rocco had this to say about what the record represents for him:

“This record is about anyone who’s ever been knocked down and gotten back up. It’s for the people who keep goin’, even when it feels like the world’s against them. To Hell and Back is for the fighters, the dreamers and the survivors. This record is the culmination of everything I’ve ever done. It’s all those years of struggle wrapped up into one sonic battle cry. None of this music would’ve been possible without riding the roller coaster of tryin’ to make it in a band outta NYC.”

The artwork looks like this:

Whilst the tracklisting is more like this:

1. When The Love Is Gone
2. Fall Together
3. Sing Me Back To Sleep
4. The More She Wants
5. The Riders Of Red Hook (Legends Never Die)
6. The King
7. This Land
8. War
9. The Juice
10. Supernaturalize
11. The Way

As well as being able to hear opening banger ‘When The Love Is Gone’, you can also check out the newly released ‘Fall Together’. A dramatic, building piece of orchestral genius, akin to the atmosphere Led Zeppelin created with ‘Kashmir’, it shows off the density and the different directions Danny is daring to go with this outing. Nothing is too grand.

Danny had this to add:

“Sometimes you find yourself stuck in a place where no matter what you do, you’re gonna lose. This song’s about that dead-end feeling, when both roads lead to the same place. Nothing good. It’s a heavy one, but it’s a real part of the story of this album. I hope this song can help those navigating those tough roads we have to travel in this thing called life.”

You’ll be able to experience the record live and direct when DES ROCS hits the road around Europe later this year.

Here are all the dates:

Cryptworm’s third LP, Infectious Pathological Waste, quite charmingly arrives at the perfect time for yours truly; the deeper, choppier musical waters I’ve been swimming in the past few weeks have made for an often rewarding but exhaustingly challenging adventure. Conversely, this Infectious Pathologic Waste, though hardly stupid, is that specifically filthy brand of brutal and disturbed OSDM that is just a smidge catchier than it probably has any right to be. Suffice to say, it has left me feeling “Maimed and Gutted” in the best way.

Admittedly, Infectious Pathological Waste may be third Cryptworm LP but it’s the second Cryptworm LP I’ve heard. A brief journey on the wayback machine to the year 2022 would likely reveal me reclining ever so slightly in my rocking chair—earbuds on, iced coffee in hand, a tired but genuine smile on my face, listening to Cryptworm’s debut, Spewing Mephitic Putridity at approximately 7:15 am, another episode of Daniel Tiger blaring in the background. I can picture that brown and yellow cover vividly enough. What a fun little sojourn that record was. Yet I don’t recall ever having heard the follow-up, Oozing Radioactive Vomition. Not sure why, aside from sheer ignorance, because this new one may just end up my favorite OSDM of the year.

It’s a weird, almost embarrassingly contradictory exercise, what I am doing now, in attempting to carefully describe a record titled Infectious Pathological Waste. But it deserves that careful description. What we have here is a grimy death metal record that exists in a world free from apology, free from irony, free from revivalism, and in some sense free from the trappings of criticism and consumption. If you should understand anything about this record, it’s that there’s a free-spirited, jackassery level of fun happening here. Imbecilic fun. Nay, inherently critic-proof imbecilic fun. Almost.

Tibor Hanyi’s top class gurgling is all the announcement a listener needs to know Infectious Pathological Waste rules. But if you need to know what the album actually sounds like, a wiser colleague once described Cryptworm’s sound as Demilich but played like Autopsy. And that seemed entirely accurate and fair to me; that specific and pulverizing mix of distortion and technicality, double dipped in filth, grime, and pus. That Cryptworm executes it so flawlessly is what makes it so impressive. In its raw form, it’s delightful enough; as performed by Cryptworm, it’s art.

Highlighting or even discussing specific songs is kind of pointless when an entire album delivers like this one does. If pushed, the impossibly catchy title track, the also impossibly catchy and frenetic “Drowning in Purulent Excrementia,” and the punishing and extra gurgly “Embedded with Parasitic Larvae” are among the standouts. Those infrequent but not totally uncommon moments of doomier respite are where the Autopsy creeps in. And it’s where Cryptworm play with that dynamic the most—the freneticism, the filth, and the fun—that they sound best.

Shockingly impressive, this one. I am probably not recommending it to family or anything. Certainly not my wife. But if you have any interest at all in death metal of any variety, you owe it yourself to give Cryptworm’s Infectious Pathological Waste a listen.
