THE DUSKFALL: “THE EVERLASTING SHADOWS”
(This is DGR’s review of the first new album by The Duskfall in a dozen years. It was independently released earlier this month.) There is no such thing as the phrase “did not have that on my bingo card for the year” when said bingo card has effectively been shot to shreds and has existed […]

Crucial Velocity Returns with “Mortal Fallacy,” First in a Trilogy of New Singles – @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Crucial Velocity Returns with “Mortal Fallacy,” First in a Trilogy of New Singles
Veteran hard rock/metal band Crucial Velocity is set to unleash their latest single, Mortal Fallacy , within the next four to six weeks via Golden Robot Records’ distribution platform, Robot Distro. Marking their first new music in over a year, the track also serves as the opening strike in a planned series of three singles set for release over the coming months.
Mortal Fallacy dives into the eternal search for something pure, only to uncover that the so-called “new messiah” is no better than the last. Frontman Androo O’Hearn delivers soaring, Queen-inspired layered vocals, while guitarist Michael Harris brings his signature virtuosity with a sharp prog edge. Behind the kit, Matt Thompson, fresh off touring with King Diamond, lays down the heaviest and most technical drum performance ever captured on a Crucial Velocity release.
“All music and lyrics are written by Nate Bauer,” the band states. “Musically, we’re picking up right where we left off after the Controller album. After two full-length releases, we’ve really locked in a sound that blends classic ’80s and ’90s metal with something modern. Heavy groove, strong melody, and a clear identity. This single is exactly what Crucial Velocity stands for.”
Fans of Queensrÿche, Black Sabbath, and Ghost will find plenty to latch onto, but Mortal Fallacy stands firmly on its own with layered harmonies, driving riffs, and a powerful, modern production.
Mortal Fallacy will be distributed digitally through Golden Robot Records and available on all major streaming platforms.

Guilt Trip Announce New Album ‘Armour Of Angels’
Guilt Trip have upped the ante once more with the announcement of their new full-length, the follow-up to 2023’s ‘Severance’.

Titled ‘Armour of Angels’, it will be released on June 05 via Roadrunner Records.
The band had this to say about the announcement:
“We hope these three years have been worth the wait. Thank you to everyone that has and everyone that continues to support Guilt Trip.“
The artwork is hard as nails and looks like this:
Whilst the tracklisting looks like this:1. Blood Atonement
2. Cut From God
3. Dirt
4. Angel Eyes
5. Veins
6. No Love Lost
7. Intermission
8. Burn
9. Suffer Me
10. Resurrected (Feat. Sonny Sandoval)
11. The Banner of HeavenThose who have been paying attention will see that the record features the tracks that appeared on the band’s EP ‘God Forgives’, which was released earlier this year. They are ‘Dirt’, ‘Angel Eyes’ and ‘Burn’.
Though there is also a new track out right now for you to get your teeth into.
That’s ‘No Love Lost’, a blistering slice of metal riffing and hardcore intensity. Brilliantly vicious, dizzyingly aggressive and sensationally bold, it is everything that is undeniable about the band in one devastating blow.
“’No Love Lost’ is all the best of Guilt Trip spliced into a fast and unrelenting 2.5 minutes. This is just a taste of things to come as we prepare to unleash our third LP, Armour of Angels. We are immensely proud of this record, combining everything special about Severance with an added swing of heaviness and a more mature writing style.”
The band are hitting the road across the US alongside longstanding friends Malevolence later this week, bringing UKHC to the world. Here’s what the dates look like.

Ukrainian riot grrrl trio Death Pill provide update ahead of hometown show in Kyiv this week
Ukrainian riot grrrl trio Death Pill provide update ahead of hometown show in Kyiv this week
Following on from their short Euro tour and appearance at the LOUD WOMEN fest in September 2025, Mariana, Natalia and Anastasiia once again went their separate ways to rest, regroup and plan. With so much going on in the world today it’s easy to forget that the war in Ukraine has now entered its fourth year, with no real end in sight.
For the band, and indeed any musicians in Ukraine the only thing to do is get on with life as much as is possible.
And such is the bond between these three women ‘getting on with it’ is always the driver, irrespective of the fact that they are in separate countries. When they told us of their latest plan to play a gig in Kyiv, we had to share it. The last time they managed that was a one-off show in 2023 prior to their first ever tour outside Ukraine, a part of which was captured in the video for ‘Monsters’.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bbvbiWHHB14
Plus, Dan Baskerville’s documentary film of the UK leg of that 2023 tour is available to view/stream over at Doc ‘N’ Roll TV.
https://www.docnrollfestival.com/docn-roll-tv/
Now, over to Death Pill for the latest.
“There’s been a long-standing idea within Death Pill — to bring the band back home to Kyiv. It’s something we’ve spoken about for years, trying to fit it between tours, schedules, and life in different countries. But it always felt complicated, like something that would need “the right moment.
After our UK/EU tour in 2025, we made a conscious decision to slow down — for the first time in a while, there was space to think about something more personal.
Around the same time, Nataliia planned her first trip home in three years, timing it around Easter to see family. Anastasiia also tries to return to Ukraine whenever she can, despite everything. Somehow, all of this aligned — and the idea of a Kyiv show stopped being abstract and became real.
Mariana, still based in Kyiv, has been carrying that connection to the city every day — and this show is something she’s been deeply, genuinely excited to finally make happen.
In the current reality of war, organising a gig is not just about logistics — it’s about intention. This show is not meant to be big or flashy, that didn’t feel right. Instead, we chose something closer to who we are.
The show will take place on 4th April at Теплий Ламповий (Tepliy Lampoviy — literally “Warm & Cozy”) a venue that carries its own history for the band. It’s where, about five years ago, Mariana and Anastasiia first asked Nataliia if she wanted to join Death Pill. Coming back to this space now feels like closing a circle.
When planning the show, we also knew we couldn’t approach it like a regular concert. In the current situation, trying to treat it as just another gig feels out of place — even painful. So, we decided to make it a charity show, with all proceeds going to the Front + Rear Foundation. It felt like the only honest way to do it — to keep the night meaningful not just for us, but for something bigger than us.
The lineup is just as personal: — Zombie Attack, our close friends
— Terrorscum, a band tied even closer to us
No distance, no hierarchy — just people who share the same scene, the same history.
For us, playing in Kyiv now is something deeply meaningful. It’s not just a concert — it’s a moment of return. Even briefly, it brings back a sense of life as it used to be. Seeing friends, being together, feeling present.
War changes your understanding of things. You realise how simple happiness actually is — having your health, your home, and your people nearby. That’s enough.
This show is also a chance to reconnect with family — to see loved ones who remain in Kyiv, including grandparents who have chosen to stay despite everything. It’s not an easy decision, but it’s theirs, and we understand it.
So, for us this gig is small but special. It doesn’t matter how many gigs and tours you’ve made, you still belong to and are proud of your local scene.”

We only wish New Heavy Sounds could be there with them. However, Death Pill being the kind of hard working ‘pro’ outfit that they are, they’ve hatched a plan to provide a few extras. Something brand new … as Natalia says.
“It’s fabulous how 4-hour rehearsal can be helpful and productive – be ready we are dropping a single soon.”
Plus, a video of that song/single captured live at the gig.
Hold on to your hats because one thing is for certain.
Nothing’s gonna keep Death Pill down.
