10th April 2026: YES, who is Steve Howe, Geoff Downes, Jon Davison, Billy Sherwood & Jay Schellen,

are proud to announce their 24th studio album ‘Aurora’ will be released on the 12th June 2026 via

InsideOutMusic/Sony Music.  As Howe explains: “Making this record was joyful, a chance to play, explore

and give everything to the music. It’s always been about collaboration, somebody can write a song,

but until everybody puts their contribution in it isn’t really a Yes song. We’re not trying to echo the past;

we’re carrying the spirit of Yes forward and turning it into something new”.

The band are also launching the first single from the album, and you can watch the beautiful

animated video for the title track, created by Matt Hutchings (Greg Lake, Oasis, Iron Maiden),

When Yes first began sketching out ideas for what would become ‘Aurora’, the process was loose and
exploratory. There was no preconceived concept at the start, just a collection of musical fragments
that gradually began to find one another and take form. Among these early sketches was a piece
titled “Aurora,” and it quickly became clear that the name carried certain gravity. It suggested light,
emergence, and a sense of vastness, qualities that resonated deeply with the band. Jon Davison
remembers how “the title immediately resonated with Steve Howe and sparked visual inspiration
for artist Roger Dean, setting a conceptual tone that would guide the project.”

Work on ‘Aurora’ began almost as soon as the ‘Classic Tales of Yes’ tour ended in 2024. The idea
of a new album surfaced quickly and with the label’s encouragement, the band had the time to
develop material organically. Rather than gathering in a single studio for months, they embraced a
modern workflow; ideas were born in home studios, shaped independently, and then woven
together through constant collaboration. Downes and Howe often acted as the central creative axis,
with Howe, as producer, serving as the point through which all ideas eventually flowed.

Across ‘Aurora’, each track carries its own character. Some echo the classic Yes approach,
others push into new territory, but together they form a cohesive whole that honours the band’s
heritage while embracing forward motion. With their 24th studio album, Yes demonstrate not just
longevity, but a sustained curiosity, a desire to keep exploring, keep refining and keep discovering their
capacity to create.

The upcoming tour schedule follows last week’s premiere of two fiery new songs, “Derecho Demonico” and “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs,” available now via Third Man Records on all DSPs and streaming services. Black 7” vinyl is on sale at thirdmanrecords.com and Third Man shops in Nashville, Detroit, and London. Black 7” vinyl arrives at independent record stores worldwide later this week.

Produced by White, “G.O.D. and the Broken Ribs” and “Derecho Demonico” mark the recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee’s first new music since 2024, a year highlighted by the release of his critically lauded sixth studio album, No Name. The acclaimed collection was honored with a 2025 GRAMMY® Award nomination for “Best Rock Album” – White’s 34th solo-career nomination and 46th overall, along with 16 total GRAMMY® Award wins. No Name includes the consecutive #1 U.S. radio hit singles, “That’s How I’m Feeling” and “Archbishop Harold Holmes,” the latter of which is joined by an electrically charged official music video starring legendary actor and renaissance man John C.

Evanescence release their first new song of 2026, underground doom heroes Warning make a comeback and beleagured nuns Dogma offer a defiant new sound in this week’s best new metal songs

New York death metal icons Immolation have unleashed their twelfth studio album, Descent. This monumental release arrives on the eve of the band’s North American takeover.

To commemorate their new release, the band has unleashed their latest single, “Bend Towards The Dark”. The track is a sonic assault, fusing the band’s trademark sound with menacing leads and a barrage of merciless blasts.

Immolation comments: “We are excited to get one more single out as our new album Descent is finally released! “Bend Towards The Dark” is definitely one of the more ambitious tracks of the record. It has just about every element you would expect from Immolation, but takes things a bit further. It’s intense and heavy, yet becomes very epic and almost orchestral at times, really embodying a lot of feeling and emotion throughout. We really look forward to having “Bend Towards The Dark” out there to ignite the release of Descent! We hope everyone enjoys it!”

Descent was captured across two locations: Justin Passamonte tracked guitars, bass, and vocals at Jpass Music, while drums were recorded at Mercinary Studios with Noah Buchanan. The production was a collaborative effort between the band and long-time engineer Zack Ohren, who also handled the mixing and mastering. The result is a muscular, high-fidelity production that captures the band’s most fiery and brooding moments with equal clarity. To call Descent “heavy” or “brutal” is an understatement; this is death metal with a unique, elevated voice that stands entirely alone.

Visually, the band has once again tapped Eliran Kantor to craft a haunting cover masterpiece—a true hallmark of the Immolation aesthetic— complemented by Santiago Jaramillo’s (Triple Seis Design) internal booklet illustrations. With this release, Immolation reinforces their status as one of the most enduring and vital forces in the genre.

Order Descent here.

Immolation are currently trekking across North America for their Spring 2026 run. The tour features the band alongside Behemoth on the massive The Godless IV lineup, joined by Deicide and Rotting Christ, with several additional dates interspersed throughout the journey.
