In this 2001 interview, we found that musical maverick Mike Patton relished his musical freedom following Faith No More’s split

(Below you will find Comrade Aleks’ very engaging discussion with the humble founder of the French epic black metal band Eminentia Tenebris, whose latest album, their fourth, was released last year by Antiq Records.)

Colorado deathcore wrecking crew Crown Magnetar have returned with a vicious new standalone single, “Impaled Genesis,” released today, May 26th, via Unique Leader Records. Alongside the track, the band also unleashed an intense new music video that further cements their reputation as one of the heaviest and most relentless acts in modern extreme metal.
Fans can check out the official video for “Impaled Genesis” here:

Vocalist Dan Tucker commented on the new single, stating:


“Our new single ‘Impaled Genesis’ is us dialing in our sound just how we like it…a great blend of death metal and -core. It’s more riff-based and focused, super deadly, but with the same Crown Magnetar vibes everyone has come to know. No filler. No gimmicks. We’re really excited to unveil this new era of Crown.”


He also noted that fans attending the current tour with Archspire have already experienced the new material live, hinting that even more may be on the horizon for the band later this year.
The release follows the band’s previously dropped standalone crusher “Desecrate Infinite,” which showcased the group’s continued evolution into a tighter, more riff-driven sonic assault while maintaining the punishing brutality fans crave.

Currently, Crown Magnetar are tearing across North America as part of the “Long Roads Big Loads Tour” alongside Archspire, Undeath, and Mutilation Barbecue. Remaining tour dates include stops in Colorado Springs, Albuquerque, Mesa, Los Angeles, Seattle, Vancouver, and more.
Later this year, the band will head overseas for a massive European and UK run with Archspire, The Zenith Passage, and Analepsy.
Since emerging from Colorado’s extreme metal underground, Crown Magnetar have built a rapidly growing global fanbase through their devastating blend of deathcore and brutal death metal. The band has shared stages with heavy hitters including Lorna Shore, Dying Fetus, Suicide Silence, Born of Osiris, Carnifex, Spite, and Enterprise Earth among many others.
Their latest release, the 2025 Punishment EP, continued the band’s streak of yearly releases and delivered what many fans consider some of the band’s most focused and destructive material yet. Produced by bassist Michael Sahm, the EP followed the re-mixed and re-mastered edition of The Prophet of Disgust EP in 2024.
Fans can also revisit previous videos from the Punishment EP here:

The post FROZEN CROWN Announce new Album “The Legend Of The Six Kings”; pre-orders available! appeared first on Metal-Rules.com.

DragonForce have announced their largest North American tour in more than two decades. In celebration of the 20th Anniversary of their monumental album, Inhuman Rampage – the record that birthed the Platinum-selling global phenomenon of “Through the Fire and Flames,” and spent 23 consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200 – the cross-country run will soon bring the world’s fastest band to 22 cities this November and December, with support from Ensiferum and Rhapsody of Fire.

Beginning at San Diego’s Observatory on Friday, November 13th, dates will stretch from New York City’s Palladium Times Square to Chicago’s Riviera Theatre, Los Angeles’ Wiltern, and beyond, further marking 2026 as the start of DragonForce’s biggest, boldest, and most electrifying era yet. 

Following this month’s earth-shattering announcement of Alissa White-Gluz as their new vocalist and first frontwoman, DragonForce previewed the forthcoming tour with two festival performances at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple. But with White-Gluz at the helm, this fall will see sets that are as exhilarating as they are technically breathtaking, filled with even more time-warping precision, spectacular set design, hits from Inhuman Rampage, and an early taste of their impending studio album. 

Public on-sale for DragonForce‘s Inhuman Rampage 20th Anniversary Tour begins at 10 am local time this Friday, May 29th, with Citi and artist presales starting at 12 pm ET today. See the full list of dates below, and find tickets at this location.

As the preeminent pioneers of extreme power metal, now joined by one of metal’s legendary vocalists, DragonForce have welcomed tens of millions of listeners into the fold through the seismic history of Inhuman Rampage and their eternally joyous, adrenaline-filled music. Founded in 1999 and based between Los Angeles and London, they have rewritten the rules of heavy metal while redefining the possibilities of their respective instruments.

“Alissa joining the band is an expansion of everything we’ve done up to this point,” said DragonForce co-founder and lead guitarist Herman Li, at the time of White-Gluz‘s announcement. “Twenty years is a long time to do anything, let alone survive the music industry and still be so inspired to continue doing what we love. Together, we will honor what made Inhuman Rampage matter, while showing people exactly where we’re going next. Having Alissa in the room changes everything. She doesn’t just sing, she makes all aspects of our music better. And she sounds incredible live! I can’t wait for the fans to see her and hear what we have been working on.”

“As a long-time fan of DragonForce, having seen them in concert multiple times over the last 20 years, I am beyond excited to be bringing such iconic music to life with these amazingly skilled musicians in such a fun and inspiring environment,” said Alissa White-Gluz, whose ferocious, melodic theatricality and creative fearlessness spans 15+ hours of recorded music, 60+ music videos, 40+ collaborations and 2,000+ concerts across a myriad of subgenres.

“It feels great to showcase all the colours of my voice in technically challenging, deeply energizing, highly addictive songs. Creating and performing with musicians who deeply care about the music and concerts as much as I do is so refreshing. Plus, with Blue Medusa going full throttle and gaining so much momentum in parallel, I feel like I am permanently in the creative zone, which is exactly where I want to be! I am so thankful for the amazing support I have been lucky enough to receive from the metal world; I want to keep pushing my boundaries and delivering exceptional music and live experiences to the fans that we cherish so much.”

“With every shift in style we lost fans”

Last week, the late Ozzy Osbourne’s family announced ghoulish plans for an interactive AI hologram version of the rock icon. By way of selling this enterprise, Ozzy’s widow Sharon Osbourne said, “You can ask Ozzy anything, and he will answer you in his own voice, and the answers will be what Ozzy would have said. We’re going to take it all around the world. People can talk to him and he will talk back.” That sucks! Don’t do that!
