Where they from?
Gavle, Sweden. The New York Knicks are in the NBA Finals. Ben Stiller is excited, I’m excited too. Knowing the recent history of New York sports, they are bound to shit the bed at some point, but hey, it’s good to feel things once in a while.

Why the hype?
Gadget have been on the Blast Worship radar — not to mention the general underground metal radar — for many a number of years now as one of the leading propagators of European grindcore and HM-2 worship. Think bands like Rotten Sound, Afgrund and their ilk. Gadget are very good at creating blistering maelstroms of grindage while also keeping things surprisingly melodic, albeit in only the darkest sense of that term. This is grindcore for grindcore purists, so don’t expect anything too flashy or technical but that’s not what we ask for from the Gadgets of the world. We ask for nothing but sheering shrapnel and sheering shrapnel alone.

Latest release?
Coerced out now on De:Nihil Records. This is 13 minutes of hard-nosed grind although a solid five and a half of those come from an experimental noise penultimate track, so we’re really talking about around eight minutes of grind here. And boy is it worth it, as Gadget lacerates and satiates with only the most searing razor grind imaginable. Putting everyone on notice, one blast beat at a time.

LOS ANGELES, CA — The fastest band in the world is shifting into an even higher gear. Power metal titans Dragonforce have officially announced their largest North American tour in over two decades: the “Inhuman Rampage” 20th Anniversary Tour. Commemorating the seminal album that brought “Through the Fire and Flames” to the masses, the 22-city trek marks a historic turning point for the band.

This run serves as the North American debut for their explosive new vocalist, ex-Arch Enemy frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz, whose recent addition has sent shockwaves through the metal community. Joined by Ensiferum and Rhapsody of Fire, Dragonforce is set to redefine extreme power metal for a new generation starting this November.

The Alissa Era: A “New Chapter” of Speed

The announcement follows the earth-shattering news earlier this month that Alissa White-Gluz has officially joined Dragonforce as their first-ever frontwoman. Previewed at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple, Alissa’s debut was hailed by critics as “epic” and “technically breathtaking.”

“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” says lead guitarist Herman Li. “Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better.”

White-Gluz, who recently made waves with her Blue Medusa project, expressed her excitement for the technically demanding setlist. “It feels great to showcase all the colors of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing songs,” she shared.

20 Years of Inhuman Rampage

Released in 2006, Inhuman Rampage became a global phenomenon, fueled by the platinum success of “Through the Fire and Flames”—the legendary “final boss” track of Guitar Hero III. The 2026 anniversary tour promises a heavy dose of the album’s classics alongside an early preview of the band’s impending studio album.
