Rock ’n’ roll mainstay Suzi Quatro will release her new album Freedom on March 27. The second single from the record, “Little Miss Lovely”, is now available, following the title track “Freedom”.

Speaking with Dawn Osborne of TotalRock, Suzi Quatro explained how the album took its final shape. “I was going through the master mixes, and the album was gonna be called “Choose Yourself”, which was the top song for a long time. So I’m going through the mixes to approve, and this “Freedom”, it just kept coming out and smacking me in the face. And I went, ‘Okay, this is the first single, this is the title of the album.’ And have you ever seen and heard a picture and a song, and a title that all says exactly the same thing? Doesn’t it scream it to you freedom?”

The decision also guided the artwork: “Once I decided on that track for the single, I actually had a vision — [it was] so strange — a vision of this album cover and the single cover. And I couldn’t get it out of my mind. So I put out little notes to all my people who photographed me for years. I said, ‘Here’s what I’m looking for.’ And so I have a girl in Australia who’s done me for — I don’t know — since the ’80s. And she had a photograph of me from the back with my bass on, on stage. And the art team then got together and created the image around it. And it’s exactly the way I saw it in my mind’s eye. And it’s important.”

Lyrically, Freedom reflects where she stands now. “I’m 75. I have achieved freedom in myself, in my attitude. I’ve dropped my excess baggage. I don’t have that anymore. I don’t have anything to prove. I’m comfortable in my skin. So it’s a very important personal thing. Also, in this world we live in, I say freedom — what is more precious than freedom? Nothing.”

She expanded on that idea in a separate statement: “It’s all about getting back to who you are, and it applies universally. We all wear masks to get by in this world. For me it’s all about being comfortable in your own skin, having nothing to prove to anyone, and not accepting any B.S.! This is the journey this album takes you on. Here I am, warts and all. Take it or leave it. Choose yourself…and finally FREEDOM. Which also applies to the world we live in today. A very important word, a very important attitude and very important reality… ‘FREEDOM’!”

The album also features a duet with fellow Detroit rocker Alice Cooper on a take of the MC5 classic “Kick Out The Jams”.

From the early chart-toppers “Can The Can” and “Devil Gate Drive” onward, Suzi Quatro has sold more than 55 million records worldwide. Her catalog runs deep, with staples like “48 Crash”, “Daytona Demon”, “The Wild One”, “If You Can’t Give Me Love”, “She’s In Love With You”, “Rock Hard”, and the U.S. million-seller “Stumblin’ In”, her duet with Chris Norman, which returned to million-seller status worldwide in 2024.

Beyond music, she built a strong acting résumé, including her three-season run as Leather Tuscadero on Happy Days, where she received the second most fan mail after The Fonz.

Freedom was produced by L.R. Tuckey and mastered by Christian Wright at Abbey Road Studios, closing the loop on a record that Suzi Quatro sees as a statement of identity and purpose.

Swedish heavy rock outfit Sister Sin has dropped a second new single, “Drive”, continuing its return after more than a decade without new material. The track follows last month’s “Suicide Hill”, which marked Sister Sin’s first new music in 12 years.

Both “Drive” and “Suicide Hill” were recorded by the band’s current lineup: Liv Jagrell on vocals, Jimmy Hiltula on guitar, Andreas Strandh on bass, Dave Sundberg on drums and Sebastian Svedlund on rhythm guitar. The songs were mixed and mastered by Lawrence Mackrory at Rorysound Studios.

“Suicide Hill” pulls inspiration from the 1988 cult film Maniac Cop and the novel Suicide Hill by James Ellroy, tying horror themes into the band’s hard-edged sound.

Although Sister Sin announced its reunion in December 2019, the pandemic stalled live plans. The band finally returned to the stage in June 2022 with a show at Backstage Rockbar in Trollhättan, Sweden.

The group originally called it quits in November 2015. In a statement at the time, the band explained that its “relentless” touring and recording schedule had taken a toll and that “the motivation for some members just wasn’t there anymore.” Even then, the door was left open for another chapter: “It is our hope that the flame will burn once again and hopefully resurrect this Swedish bastard sometime in the future. Time will tell…”

Eleven years ago, Jagrell reflected on the breakup in an interview with Sleaze Roxx. “We toured too much and we got burned out. That’s the simple answer. They just felt like they did not want to do this anymore. [In 2015], we had been out for almost four months or something so it’s a lot of time away from family. It’s a lot of time away from friends. And also just to survive in the business is hard, so I think we maybe worked too hard in the last years.”

With two new singles now out, Sister Sin is clearly pushing forward again, picking up where it left off — only this time with a reset and a renewed focus.

Tårfödd Announces New Album Mörker täcker livets ljus – Purity Through Fire Sets March 28 International Release Date
Sweden’s depressive black metal underground just keeps churning, and this time the storm rolls in under the banner of Purity Through Fire. The label has officially set March 28 as the international CD release date for the sixth full-length from Tårfödd, titled Mörker täcker livets ljus.
Formed in 2022, Tårfödd has wasted zero time carving out a name in the DSBM scene. In just a few short years, mastermind Simon Lindgren has unleashed five full-length albums, nine singles, two EPs, and multiple collaborations. That kind of output is not normal. It is obsession-level dedication. And it shows. His sound trades in supreme melancholy, bittersweet majesty, layered textures, and that soul-draining emotional weight that fans of the genre crave when they want to stare into the abyss and have it stare right back.
While Purity Through Fire does not often dip into depressive black metal territory, they made a notable exception in 2025 with the release of Lidande. Now, with Tårfödd’s entire catalog housed under the label’s banner, the partnership feels locked in. With Mörker täcker livets ljus, Lindgren pushes even deeper into cathartic darkness.
The new album runs a formidable 62 minutes and features nine tracks soaked in cold atmosphere and raw emotion. Adding even more weight to the record, Revenant of Sarkrista, Order of Nosferat, Siechknecht, and Velmorth lends his tortured vocals to five of the nine tracks. His unmistakable presence seals the pact between artist and label, dragging the album further into sublime misery.
Musically, Lindgren sharpens every weapon in his arsenal. Cold, slicing riff work collides with transcendent lead lines. Heartbroken piano passages drift in and out like fading memories. Tempos shift almost effortlessly, yet always with a clear understanding that this is black metal first and foremost.
The title track stands as the album’s emotional centerpiece. Over nine minutes, it pulls listeners into undulating waves of obsidian sorrow before downshifting into a breathtaking ethereal passage that feels almost redemptive. It is the kind of track where time dissolves and you willingly drown in the atmosphere. Then it closes the circle, bringing that bittersweet ache home in a way that lingers long after the final note.
Fans can get a first taste of the album now with the brand-new track “Farväl till allt,” streaming at Purity Through Fire’s official YouTube channel.
Mörker täcker livets ljus arrives March 28 on CD. For devotees of depressive black metal and those who appreciate immersive, emotionally charged songwriting, this release is set to be one of 2026’s essential listens.
