When not stealing valor from seven-footers like Victor Wembanyama and our Tom Breihan, the so-called Tallest Man On Earth continues to release lovely user-friendly folk-rock. Today the Swede born Kristian Matsson resumes that pursuit with the release of “Colors,” his first new song in three years. This song is really working for me. “I need…

There’s no point in doing a track premiere, when an album only contains two tracks, so, what the hell, here’s the whole damn thing. Callous Faulter is the solo project of Aussie J. Angus (ex-Greytomb, Paroxysmal Cavitation)—assisted by R. Stone (drums) and Tim Stoker (sax solo)—and this self-titled effort features “The Isolationist” and “Ocean View,” each clocking in at over 16 minutes running time. And what does Angus get up to in those quarter-hour creative bursts, you ask? A whole lot actually. At its heart, Callous Faulter is a cinematic, extreme metal landscape of harsh sounds ranging from grimy sludge to jackhammering, dissonant death metal with some post-metal languidity thrown in for relief. Like the album’s cover art, it’s gray, imposing and monolithic.

Callous Faulter was recorded, mixed and mastered by Tristan Barnes at Underland Recordings. It’s set for release on CD and digitally via Gutter Prince Cabal Records on June 1. Place your preorder here.

Angus described his latest effort as such:

“This Callous Faulter album was written across two separate periods of my life, dealing with loss and self discovery. like opposite faces of the same coin. ‘The Isolationist’ and ‘Ocean Views’ move with a shared language, each branching off in their respective paths of dissonance, and blackened sludge. I think we all deal with the human condition in our own weird human ways, mine just happens to be playing guitar and making extreme music. Making this music left me feeling profoundly whole and deeply alienated at the same time. It’s the strange paradox of the work: the more personal it becomes, the more it seems to reach outward, searching for connection across the void. My main goal with Callous Faulter is to explore certain aspects of different genres and be truly experimental If only one person finds something true in Callous Faulter, that’s enough.”

Jesus Is The Path To Heaven is a musical trio led by singer-songwriter Jordan Hoban alongside bandmates Thommy Underhill and Zach Jordan. A band name like that one leads me to expect music loaded with spiritual and emotional tension, and on their new single out today, the band delivers on the implied promise. I don’t…

Yes celebrates the 50th anniversary of one of its most storied performances on July 17 with Live At Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, 17 June 1976. The live album’s first official release arrives on the heels of the band’s new studio album, Aurora, debuting on June 12.

2CD and 3LP versions of Live At Roosevelt Stadium are available to pre-order HERE. Rhino.com is offering an exclusive vinyl LP edition (limited to 500) that includes a 12×12 lithograph of of new original album artwork by Roger Dean. A special Spirit of ’76 vinyl edition will also be available at select independent retailers with an insert. The album will also be available to download and stream.

On June 17, 1976, the formidable Relayer lineup of Yes—Jon Anderson, Steve Howe, Chris Squire, Alan White, and Patrick Moraz—performed in front of a capacity crowd at Roosevelt Stadium in Jersey City, NJ. The quintet was captured mid-tour during a live broadcast on New York’s WNEW-FM. While the performance has remained one of the band’s most popular bootlegs for decades, this release marks its first official appearance.

The recording finds the band at a creative peak during the “Solo Albums Tour.” Following the success of Relayer (1974), the members spent 1975 recording five individual solo projects; this 1976 tour was the first time these new arrangements were integrated into the live set. The performance balances full-band epics like “The Gates Of Delirium” and “Ritual” with staples like “Siberian Khatru” and “Heart Of The Sunrise.” The set also features rare individual spotlights for Anderson’s ethereal selections from Olias of Sunhillow and Moraz’s rhythmic explorations from The Story of I, alongside Howe’s acoustic signature, “Clap.” The performance concludes with a rare rendition of “I’m Down,” a high-energy classic originally by The Beatles.

Ahead of the full release, the live version of “Roundabout” is out digitally today.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EGOKILLS UNLEASHES CRUSHING NEW SINGLE “KNUCKLE CHOKE” OUT NOW
Finnish Metal Force Delivers A Violent Blast Of Aggression, Groove, And Old-School Studio Power
From the cold streets of Tampere, Finland comes a fresh sonic assault as Egokills officially unleashes their brand new single “Knuckle Choke,” released May 27th, 2026 through Mellowhead Creations Ltd .
A furious combination of hard rocking metal, raw aggression, blast beats, and sweat-soaked intensity, “Knuckle Choke” is the first taste of the band’s upcoming fourth full-length album. For fans of In Flames , Pantera , and Alice In Chains , the track hits like a steel pipe to the jaw while still carrying the groove and melody that have become trademarks of the Egokills sound.
“Get ready for a strong stranglehold!” says songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist Janne Selo .
Founded in 2011 by Selo, Egokills has spent the last fifteen years carving their own path through the European metal underground. After releasing three albums and performing across 13 countries, the band has quietly built a loyal global following with their layered blend of alternative metal and heavy rock. Now, after years of relentless writing, rehearsing, touring, and rebuilding, the band is revealing its most explosive chapter yet.
Produced by Juha Nevala at Lammaskallion Audio in Tuusula, Finland, the new material embraces a classic recording philosophy: real instruments, real amps, real volume, and real chemistry between musicians playing together in the same room. The result is a massive, organic sound deeply rooted in the spirit of 1990s metal and rock.
“Fifteen years of frustration… turned into intense inspiration! I feel like it’s the fuel for our fire now,” says drummer Vilho Rajala .
“There’s a new confidence in Egokills now. We’ve got a ‘fuck you’ mentality but with a wide grin. I really like that,” adds guitarist Niko Viita-aho .
The upcoming album was mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde and promises to deliver the heaviest and most authentic version of Egokills to date. A full-scale social media campaign is already underway, featuring behind-the-scenes studio footage, rehearsal clips, documentary-style content, interviews, and more as the band gears up for the album rollout.
More details on the upcoming album and future live plans will be announced soon.
