Bringers of Disease emerge with Sacred Heart of the Abyss, the first wound from their debut record Sulphur, arriving April 2026. This is not an introduction but ignition—a dense, suffocating statement carved in distortion and ritualistic weight. The track advances with crushing force, riffs folding inward as drums hammer with militant precision. Dual vocals feel less like delivery and more like invocation, amplifying the track’s oppressive atmosphere. There is no excess here, only intent. Focused, unrelenting, and heavy in both sound and presence, Sacred Heart of the Abyss sets a stark and uncompromising tone.

“I was feeling a bit despondent because Free had broken up. I met a lady who was Brazilian and she said: ‘Come down and stay with me’”: How a supergroup formed from the ashes of one of the UK’s greatest bands wrote one of rock’s ultimate outlaw anthems

Kelvin McKisic’s Coolness lives up to its title, delivering a slick instrumental blend of jazz swing and hip-hop groove. Driven by punchy drum breaks and a fluid bassline, the track finds its standout moments in the vibrant horn arrangements, which inject personality and flair throughout. There’s a playful balance between retro influences and modern rhythm, keeping the energy light but engaging. Without needing vocals, Coolness lets its tight musicianship and rhythmic confidence do the talking, resulting in a smooth, feel-good instrumental that flows effortlessly from start to finish.

Obicham’s Inner Bully dives into dark, industrial-pop territory with a sharp, high-impact edge. Driven by aggressive synths and a relentless beat, the track mirrors the intensity of internal conflict, turning self-doubt into something urgent and physical. The production is polished yet heavy, balancing club-ready energy with a brooding atmosphere. Vocals cut through with purpose, reinforcing the track’s confrontational tone without losing control.

Inner Bully stands out as a bold, high-energy piece that transforms psychological tension into a powerful, forward-moving sonic experience.

Ushering in a new wave of heavy metal, New Jersey hellraisers WHO ON EARTH have announced their forthcoming album, It Takes The Village. Set for release on May 8th, the band’s second full-length features 12 headbanging tracks of unfiltered, high-octane mayhem.

Commenting on the new album, bassist Pete Rizzi says:

“It Takes The Village is a true representation of the diversity of Who On Earth, demonstrating the lack of self-imposed boundaries in our music. Our brand-new material showcases our continued growth as songwriters, and we’ve also included a few reimagined versions of earlier tracks that feel fresh and more powerful than ever. After five years of building, this release is our way of saying, ‘This is Who On Earth.”

Coinciding with the announcement, WHO ON EARTH have unveiled their second single, “Any Other Way” – an anthemic rocker primed for the stage, arriving just ahead of the band’s upcoming U.S. tour with FOZZY.

Rizzi adds:

“‘Any Other Way’ is a rearranged, re-recorded, remixed, and remastered version of ‘Black Swan’ from our debut album, Blame. It’s a song about accepting the events in our lives and the choices that brought us here. Regret has no place in that process, the past is the past. Would we do things differently? Of course. But maybe everything had to unfold exactly as it did. It’s about embracing where you are, learning from it, and ultimately saying, ‘I wouldn’t have it any other way.’”

The new single follows the previously released track “Vigilance,” which also appears on It Takes The Village.

Megadeth .

The post Megadeth frontman Dave Mustaine’s autobiography ‘In My Darkest Hour: A Memoir’ out September 8th first appeared on Sleaze Roxx.

Marc Broussard unveils two new singles, “Going Home” and “Trying To Do Right,” offering a deeper look into his anticipated forthcoming album, Chance Worth Taking – his first collection of all-original blues and soul songs, arriving April 17th on Joe Bonamassa’s KTBA Records.

The Double Single “I’m Going Home” / “Trying To Do Right”, out today, features the masterful fretwork of Joe Bonamassa, which perfectly complements Broussard’s signature vocal grit and emotive songwriting, further defining the renowned soul singer’s latest artistic chapter. Stream the new tracks HERE.

“I’m Going Home” builds on an infectious, steady groove and a lush, horn-infused arrangement driven by Bonamassa’s searing guitar riffs. The song takes flight on Broussard’s expressive vocals, creating a powerful, emphatic sound that mirrors the deep emotional stakes of his lyrics.

“‘I’m Going Home’ is one of those songs that speaks to my undying love for my beautiful wife,” Broussard explains. “I’d die without her.  I wouldn’t even have the will to continue living. Joe played his butt off at every turn, which probably speaks to his love affair with the guitar.”

The slow-burning blues ballad “Trying To Do Right” opens with Bonamassa’s commanding guitar, setting a reflective tone. Broussard’s stirring vocals blend feeling and finesse, culminating in a confessional chorus. This delivery highlights the heartfelt sentiment pervading the song, while Bonamassa’s riveting guitar provides a rich, atmospheric weight throughout.

“‘Trying To Do Right’ came in a flurry,” Broussard recalls. “I had to harken back to the earliest days of my relationship with my wife. I wasn’t always a good boyfriend—in fact, I was a terrible one in those early days.  The regret is somewhat softened by the knowledge that I can draw on those memories for inspiration in my writing. Thanks to Joe for providing the added emotional emphasis.”

Both “I’m Going Home” and “Trying To Do Right” were co-written by Broussard and Calvin Turner, with the recording beginning when Turner sent him the instrumentals. Broussard explains, “These songs were both part of the initial batch Calvin and I wrote, which came together over 3 days in a bit of a writing frenzy. Calvin came up with the hook and arrangement for ‘Right,’ and like a good hunting dog, once I’m onto a scent, I’m gonna find it. I was a madman who couldn’t resist the pull of the writer’s room from sunup to sundown.”

Chance Worth Taking, produced by blues heavyweights Joe Bonamassa and Josh Smith alongside Calvin Turner, is a stunning 14-track collection that includes the album’s dynamic lead singles, “Fever” / “No More”. The album reunites Broussard with Bonamassa, who takes the helm to contribute mesmerizing guitar solos on 10 tracks, including three songs co-written with Broussard.

This stellar creative circle is rounded out by Josh Smith, who features on and co-wrote four tracks, and Calvin Turner, who joined forces with Broussard to co-write 10 of the album’s original songs and contributes to the album’s lush string and horn arrangements. Chance Worth Taking is out April 17 on KTBA records.
