Soul Glo are back with a fresh batch of hardcore punk poetry and seething social commentary via their new full-length album.
‘NA I’M GON GRAB ALLAT’ will be released on January 15 2027, via Epitaph. It serves as the follow-up to the band’s ‘Diasporsa Problems’.
Vocalist Pierce Jordan has immediately dedicated the record to, “everyone who has known the joy and pain of loving a man. All different types of love: platonic, romantic, familial, self.”
The artwork looks like this:

You can also hear the first taste of it right now, and it is the opening track. ‘February Theory’ is as frantic, fierce and furiously fun as you should expect from the band. A stunning, savage and slick introduction to what is sure to be an emotional listen.
New York’s thrash metal kings Anthrax – Scott Ian [guitar], Jon Donais [guitar], Charlie Benante [drums], Frank Bello [bass], and Joey Belladonna [vocals] – opened Iron Maiden’s September 5th show at Sports Illustrated Stadium in Harrison, NJ, with a fast-paced 30-minute set.
As the opening chords for “Among the Living” rang out and the sun began to set, the crowd responded immediately by moshing and crowd surfing.
In their 7-song set, the band delivered a career-highlight collection of classics, fan favorites, and a new song, “Do it for the Kids,” from their upcoming album Cursum Perficio. Their last three albums have served as a renewed call to arms for metal fans, with each release surpassing the last. The band continues to deliver tremendous records, and fans are clearly loving it!
Scott and Jon formed a formidable guitar team, with Ian laying down the muscular rhythms while Donais handled the lead work with precision and speed. Ian’s powerful right hand drove the rhythm of the songs, while Jon added fast legato runs and scorching solos. Behind them, Charlie attacked his drum kit with increasing intensity, matching Frank‘s relentless bass lines. Frank never stopped moving, headbanging and engaging the crowd while providing the powerful low-end foundation that drove each song. Joey remains one of metal’s great frontmen, hands down. His voice was smooth, commanding, and unfaltering throughout the set as he moved across the stage, putting up the devil horns, and engaging the crowd with his half-mic stand.
The band crushed New Jersey with an angry, high-energy display of raw emotion. No props, pyro, or stage gimmicks were needed, just five guys rocking out to groove-driven songs packed with killer riffs, searing solos, and plenty of attitude. It was a relentless performance that left the crowd little room to breathe, from “Metal Thrashing Mad,” which still carried the urgency of its early days, to “Madhouse,” to “Antisocial,” and closed with “Indians” with a final frenzy.
The band and their fans never let up on headbanging throughout the show, delivering the kind of sweaty, hard-hitting performance that reminded everyone why they remain one of thrash metal’s defining bands. Paired with Iron Maiden and Megadeth, this was a night built around heavy metal history, proving that decades into their careers, they still have plenty of fire left to burn.
Siouxsie and the Banshees’ long-out-of-print Downside Up, the expansive collection of B-sides and other non-album recordings first released in 2004, will return this fall in newly remastered five-LP and three-CD editions.
Due Nov. 20, the revised box set brings together 51 tracks — 49 studio recordings and two live performances — covering material originally issued between 1978 and 1995, from “Voices (On the Air),” the flip side of the band’s debut single “Hong Kong Garden,” through late-period cuts “B Side Ourselves,” “Hang Me High” and “Black Sun.”
Along the way, Downside Up collects some of the Banshees’ finest work outside their studio albums, including “Pulled to Bits,” “Drop Dead/Celebration,” “Eve White/Eve Black,” “Red Over White,” “Tattoo,” “Umbrella,” “Something Blue,” “El Día de los Muertos,” “Return” and “Sea of Light.” The set also features the band’s versions of T. Rex’s “20th Century Boy,” Ben E. King’s “Supernatural Thing” and the Modern Lovers’ “She Cracked.”
Both configurations have been remastered from the original tapes. The five-LP edition, which marks the collection’s vinyl debut, was cut to lacquer by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios and comes with a 32-page booklet featuring new imagery drawn from the Banshees’ original single sleeves. The three-CD clamshell box includes a 68-page booklet.
The original four-CD edition contained 55 tracks. The new reissue carries over its first three discs in full: 49 studio recordings plus two performances taped at KROQ’s 1991 Acoustic Christmas, “Swimming Horses” and the Velvet Underground’s “All Tomorrow’s Parties.”
The only material omitted is the original box’s fourth disc, which contained the four orchestral rerecordings from the Banshees’ 1984 The Thorn EP: “Overground,” “Voices (On the Air),” “Placebo Effect” and “Red Over White.” The earlier B-side versions of “Voices (On the Air)” and “Red Over White” remain in the new collection.
Box-set preorders placed through the official Siouxsie and the Banshees webshop will include an exclusive print hand-signed by Siouxsie while supplies last. The print will accompany the first 500 five-LP box-set orders and the first 300 three-CD box-set orders.
For U.S. fans, a new Siouxsie and the Banshees shop will launch Friday, Sept. 11, at 11 a.m. EDT, allowing customers to order with domestic postage. A separate allocation of box sets accompanied by the signed print has been reserved for the U.S. store. The shop link will be available through the band’s official Linktree.
Things used to be so simple. The band Muse did not invent the word “muse,” but they got to be the main “Muse” on the social media landscape. On both Facebook and Instagram, Muse were simply @Muse. But then yesterday Meta, the company formerly known as Facebook, announced the launch of its new personal AI agent, which is also called Muse.
Today, legendary Christian metal pioneers Stryper return with a commanding new chapter in their storied career, their 18th studio album, Throne of Thorns, set for release on September 25th via Frontiers Music Srl. Decades into their journey, Stryper continue to reaffirm their status as one of the most influential and enduring bands in classic metal, seamlessly blending their signature message with a sound that remains as powerful and relevant as ever.
About Throne of Thorns, drummer Robert Sweet says: “Soon our new Stryper record will be out, and can you believe it? It’s album number 18! I really believe you’re all going to love it. Michael worked incredibly hard writing these songs and bringing everything together. Oz, Perry, and I also worked hard to make this, which I feel is our best record yet. I’m confident that once you hear it, you’ll agree. Thank you all for your incredible loyalty and for continuing to support what we do.”
To celebrate the announcement, the band shares the title track from the upcoming album, alongside an official music video, available below.
On the title track, Michael Sweet comments: “Throne of Thorns is a powerful message. Christ is on the throne, and we are redeemed because of the crown of thorns that He endured. This song is a perfect representation of our 43 years and who we were and who we are. Heavy yet melodic, classic yet modern, and 100% Stryper!”
Throne of Thorns showcases the band at the height of their creative powers, delivering a masterclass in songwriting and musicianship. The album is packed with grand, meticulously crafted arrangements, where thunderous rhythms, soaring guitar harmonies, and anthemic choruses come together in a style that is unmistakably Stryper. Each track is infused with both intensity and melody, capturing the essence of classic metal while pushing their sound forward with renewed energy and purpose.
At the forefront stands the unmistakable voice of Michael Sweet, whose passionate, powerful, and instantly recognizable delivery continues to define the band’s identity. His vocal performance on Throne of Thorns is nothing short of extraordinary, effortlessly moving between soaring highs and emotive depth, adding a timeless quality to every song.
Perry Richardson says: “The best music doesn’t come from comfort. It comes from living, struggling, growing, and refusing to quit. I hope these songs find you exactly when you need them.”
With Throne of Thorns, Stryper not only honors their legacy but expands upon it, offering an album that will resonate with longtime fans and newcomers alike. It’s a bold, inspired statement from a band that refuses to stand still—proof that true metal greatness only grows stronger with time.
Guitarist Oz Fox concludes: “I’m really happy with the final outcome of this record and the heart that went into it. Michael continues to pour everything he has into the music and the message; Robert brings the power and energy that has always been the pulse of Stryper; Perry’s musicianship, vocal talents, and dedication are second to none, and I’m grateful to be on this journey with all of them.”
Four decades and counting, Stryper shows no signs of slowing down. The band will be back on the road this summer with a full U.S. tour beginning July 17 in Arlington, TX.
A celebration of life for Andy Williams, who passed away earlier this week, will be taking place in Buffalo later this month.
Andy was a founding member of Every Time I Die, playing on each of the group’s nine studio albums, from 2001’s ‘Last Night In Town’ through to 2021’s ‘Radical’, until their disbanding in 2022.
Most recently, he played in metalcore group Atomic Rule, releasing two 3-track EPs in 2025, alongside a career in wrestling, appearing in AEW as ‘The Butcher’ in a tag-team duo alongside Jesse ‘The Blade’ Guilmette.
He experienced a medical emergency during an ‘Enjoy Wrestling’ match in Millvale, Pennsylvania on Saturday night (September 05) and was rushed to hospital. It was then reported that Williams had passed away.
The celebration of life will take place at Buffalo River Works on September 27, with attendance being free of charge. A ticket can be reserved here.
There will be acoustic tributes throughout the occasion, with the first names to be announced being Stephen Brodsky & Adam McGrath of Cave In, Dan O’Connor & Alan Day of Four Year Strong and Anthony Green, with more to be confirmed.
There will a special video tribute played at the event too, full of pictures and videos submitted which, if you have one, can be sent to andywilliamsforever@gmail.com
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MURDERY Unleash New Death Metal Assault With “Killing Grandma” Spanish-Polish Death Metal Force Return With the First Taste of Their Upcoming Full-Length
Release Date: October 2026
MURDERY are back to deliver another dose of crushing, groove-driven death metal with their upcoming new single “Killing Grandma,” arriving worldwide in October 2026. The track serves as the first official preview of the band’s forthcoming studio project, with the first four songs from the upcoming album being unveiled as part of this next chapter.
Formed in Murcia, Spain, in 2018 and now operating between Spain and Poland, MURDERY have carved out a sound that combines the brutality and authenticity of old-school death metal with a powerful groove-oriented attack. Their music is raw, aggressive, tightly played, and built around the kind of crushing riffs that demand to be experienced at full volume.
Following the band’s 2023 release Bloodshed , “Killing Grandma” signals an even heavier and more uncompromising direction. The song captures the experience MURDERY have accumulated throughout their career while refusing to bury the music under unnecessary production or studio gloss.
“This next work sums up the production, technique, rawness and aggression learned and forged in all of our career.”
Produced by JFT Studio , “Killing Grandma” represents the first taste of a larger body of material that will soon reveal more about MURDERY’s next era. The band is also preparing to unveil the full album details, with additional announcements and the accompanying music video expected soon.
The track has already proven itself in the live environment, becoming a centerpiece of MURDERY’s performances during their Spring Annihilation Tour across Poland. That live-tested intensity is at the heart of the band’s approach: aggressive, tight, direct, and designed to hit with maximum impact.
MURDERY bring considerable experience to their attack, featuring former and current members of respected Spanish acts including Vendetta FM, 91Suite, and Siberia . Over the years, the band has also shared stages with international heavyweights including Napalm Death, Brujeria, Hatebreed, Crisix, and Dust Bolt , further establishing their reputation as a formidable live act within Europe’s underground metal scene.
Rather than chasing trends, MURDERY remain focused on what makes death metal hit hardest: massive riffs, crushing grooves, raw aggression, dynamics, and authenticity.
“Killing Grandma” is the beginning of the next chapter.
And if the first taste is any indication, MURDERY are preparing to make one hell of a racket.
“Killing Grandma”
MURDERY Release Date: October 2026 Genre: Groove / Old School Death Metal
