    10 Scorching Rock Songs With The Word 'Train' In The Title

    As one of the earliest forms of mass transportation, the train forever changed the landscape of civilization, linking cities and communities across vast distances. It not only transformed travel but also became a powerful metaphor for life’s journey, momentum, and the unstoppable forces of change. In rock music, the imagery of the train has long symbolized energy, escape, and raw power, as shown in the scorching tracks featured in this list. This article explores ten electrifying rock songs with the word “train” in the title, focusing on legendary artists who embodied the spirit of hard-hitting, blues-based rock. While we include

  • glaive Joins Tiffany Day To Debut New Song In San Francisco

    Next month, glaive and Tiffany Day will join forces a big North American tour. Even though he’s only 21 now, glaive has been in the hyperpop game for years, starting when he was a North Carolina teenager posting music online during the pandemic and leading to him becoming one of the first underground hyperpop artists to sign a major-label deal. Wichita native Tiffany Day’s self-released breakout Halo is one of our favorite albums of the year so far. Ahead of their tour, the two artists teamed up onstage in San Francisco last night, debuting a brand-new unreleased song together.

    DevilDriver – Houe of Blues Anaheim – September 5, 2026

    When DevilDriver’s frontman Dez Fafara recently described the band’s 2026 live show as “Insane, intense, visceral, high voltage”, I took him at his word.  Saturday night’s show at the House of Blues Anaheim was the last date of the Strike and Kill Tour, in support of the 2026 album of the same name, and DevilDriver were going to make sure the hometown show was memorable.  The House of Blues Anaheim hosts a lot of heavy bands, but none that I’ve seen have ever managed to get the fans moving more than DevilDriver on this night.  Dez doesn’t use his pulpit to ask the audience to mosh or crowd surf – he simply wills it to happen – the music does the rest, and people are powerless to resist. 

    DevilDriver

    Upon a Burning Body was originally in the lineup, but had to drop off the tour a week ago due to illness in the band.  While I was initially bummed they wouldn’t be playing, I knew that DevilDriver, coupled with opening bands Ov Sulfur and Cultus Black would make up for it, and that’s exactly what happened.

    This is important music made by an important band, and their live show has always been a huge part of the appeal.  This was my first time seeing them since Dez’s two-year health hiatus, and I wasn’t sure what to expect – would the show live up to the hype?  The answer was a resounding yes – a constant ball of energy and flying hair, Dez was in great form and sounded amazing, having lost nothing in the downtime.  The rest of the band was similarly stellar, and seeing bassist and founding member Jon Miller back in the band and killing it made the performance even more memorable.  Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold traded impossible licks on guitar, while drummer Davier Ortega was a standout – somehow remaining in the pocket as he pulverized his kit song after song.

    The crowd weren’t the only ones having fun – you could tell the entire band was having a good night on stage.  Smiles were infectious, and the crowd at the 1700 capacity House of Blues had the time of their lives.  It was impossible to take your eyes off Dez – he’s a born performer, and gave everything he had to the show.  From high-fiving crowd surfers as security was catching them in the pit, to constantly patrolling the stage and unleashing his powerful and unique vocal delivery seamlessly and without effort – the night was his.  I believe Saturday night’s reception by the fans in Anaheim assured him that even after two years away from the Los Angeles/Orange County area, he and the rest of the band had only gotten better.

    DevilDriver is:

    • Dez Fafara – Vocals
    • Gabe Mangold – Guitar
    • Alex Lee – Guitar
    • Jon Miller – Bass
    • Davier Ortega – Drums

    Setlist:

    1) Clouds Over California

    2) Not All Who Wander Are Lost

    3) I Could Care Less

    4) Head on to Heartache (Let Them Rot)

    5) Strike and Kill

    6) Meet the Wretched

    7) Swinging the Dead

    8) Dig Your Own Grave

    9) Dead in the Water

    10) Hold Back the Day

    11) Cry for Me Sky (Eulogy of the Scorned)

    12) The Mountain

    13) End of the Line

    Ov Sulfur

    Ov Sulfur are a blackened deathcore band from Las Vegas that formed during the height of the pandemic in 2020.  Vocalist Ricky Hoover looks like an NFL linebacker, and is equally capable of throttling you with his voice as well as his arms.  The audience was already in a frenzy before Ov Sulfur took the stage, but things ramped up as soon as the first notes hit the air.  These guys were great live, and their energy translated seamlessly into the crowd – a wall of death was requested and delivered, and the mosh pit was off the hook.  Ov Sulfur was the ideal complement to this bill, slotting in perfectly between Cultus Black and DevilDriver.

    Ov Sulfur is:

    • Ricky Hoover – Vocals
    • Chase Wilson – Guitar
    • Christian Becker – Guitar
    • Ryan Rivard/Levi Xu – Drums

    Cultus Black

    While I knew what to expect from DevilDriver, I didn’t know anything about Cultus Black.  They emerged from the side of the stage in total darkness, and when the lights came up, four men in masks were standing behind their instruments, while vocalist L was painted white with black accents.  Their set was short, but beyond memorable – their percussionist/vocalist Z jumped off of everything in sight (risers, drums, the stage), went crowd surfing, got face to face with fans on the barricade, and generally tore the place up.  Nobody was conversing with their significant other, watching from the sidelines, or checking their watches wondering when the next band would go on – Cultus Black was no joke, and people were engaged – it was impossible not to be.  

    Cultus Black is a great live band, and definitely someone to pay attention to – I’m sure being on this tour with DevilDriver brought them a lot of well-deserved attention, and I expect to see and hear a lot more from them going forward.  They certainly brought an amazing amount of energy to their early opening slot, and set the tone and expectations for the rest of the night.

    Cultus Black is:

    • L-237 – Vocals
    • G-382 – Percussion/Vocals
    • J-451 – Bass
    • M-1335 – Guitar
    • R-405 – Drums

  • Stonedead Festival 2026 – Europe Lead A Glorious Day Of Mud And Metal

    Europe - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    In its eighth year, Stonedead experienced a first – a properly wet festival. In the past there have been occasional showers, and one memorably major storm, but these were isolated incidents, compared to this year, when it rained on and off – but mostly on – throughout.

    Stonedead Festival 2026

    Newark Showground – 29 August 2026

    So with the excellent showground drainage, how muddy could it get? Really, really muddy.

    Unprepared trainer-wearing punters gradually developed a look of regret as the afternoon wore on and they gingerly picked out the least worst paths through. Other downsides were the undeniable reduction of the social aspect, and the need for strategic timing when it came to sampling the excellent food options. Nobody likes a soggy chip.

    Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    Still, these niggles were minor. There is no way that the rain could have spoilt the day. Bands and audience leaned right into it. Nobody cared about getting a soaking, and as always, a fantastic time was had at what has deservedly become one of the highlights of the season. 

    With the maestro of comperes Krusher Joule keeping us entertained with another batch of shaggy dog stories including terrible monkey behaviour, wrestling James Hetfield, and trying to outwit Don Arden, this is yet another legendary Stonedead.

    Aethoria

    It is pretty early in the day – 11:30 AM – when Aethoria, winners of Stonedead’s opening band poll, take the stage. Not an easy mission, as it is raining and everyone is just getting used to the surroundings. 

    Aethoria - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    Aethoria – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    They do not let this faze them, though, and they play an energetic set. Vocalist Mecia-Jade Holden announces that they have their debut album out, encouraging everyone to buy it, so they can eat a bit more than just beans.

    Jokes aside, the East Anglian band provides those present with a generous serving of catchy hard rock that gets a good reaction from those present (more than I personally would have imagined).

    Fools Gold, the title track of the new album, is a highlight, with some impressive guitar work, and so is Stepping Stone, with a very nice rolling riff. Definitely worth keeping an eye on them in the future. 

    Asomvel

    Talk about false hope. The sun comes out for a minute as Asomvel take the stage. So do six full Marshall stacks. This can only mean it is time for Asomvel.

    It is hard not to mention some similarities to Motörhead in terms of sound and vision, but this is a band that stands quite well on its own.

    Asomvel - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    Asomvel – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    They are a lot of fun live, playing high-octane rock ‘n’ roll and having some firm Stonedead crowd favourites in their setlist. If It’s Too Loud, You’re Too Old basically says it all, and I cannot see any complainers on that front.

    Born To Rock ‘N’ Roll is equally fun, and so is the new track Rock ‘N’ Roll In Your Blood, which they wrote only last week and saw fit to debut. 

    Asomvel - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    Asomvel – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    It is fun, unpretentious, pedal-to-the-Metal rock music, and it is just what the doctor ordered. They finish on a track Lemmy could have easily written, The Nightmare Ain’t Over, driven by a great double bass drum. 

    Before Crobot’s performance, a representative of Andy’s Man Club takes the stage for a minute to discuss what they do. It is great to see Stonedead supporting a charity that does such great work to get men to share and improve their mental health. 

    Crobot

    The rain stops for a little bit, and this time it is the Orange amps coming out. It can only mean one thing. Crobot and their fuzz-filled riffs are about to make their appearance. And boy, is it an appearance to behold, as frontman Brandon Yeagley wears a purple sequined open shirt, completing the ensemble with gold trousers.

    Crobot - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    Crobot – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    He is all over the stage, prowling it as if possessed, dancing, jumping, and showing his great vocal chops.

    It is a great set, showing off the fact that Crobot certainly have the tunes. Supermoon, their latest record, appears in the set early on, with Foot Off, a song that has the mother of all grooves, and enough fuzz to donate to other, less fuzz-blessed, bands.

    Crobot – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    There is a lot of funk and a rhythm section with tons of groove all over those tracks, but also quite a bit of humour. At one point, the crowd is informed of the band’s desire to educate. What follows is the brilliant Me And Your Mother. You know, just in case you need an explanation of the birds and the bees thing.

    Lowlife ends their set on a high note. So high that the frontman needs to sing it while climbing on the guitarist’s shoulders.

    Great set indeed.

    The Damn Truth

    The band is already on stage, setting up, when their intro, Jefferson Airplane’s White Rabbit, starts playing, almost in full. And it is a portal straight into ’60s rock, visually and, to a certain extent, musically.

    The Damn Truth - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    The Damn Truth – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    If you do not know them, The Damn Truth play catchy retro-tinted hard rock, and they do it in a very contagious way. Today is no exception, in what is probably the most treacherous weather of the day. That does not deter anyone, though, with rock ‘n’ roll making room early on for the absolutely epic The Willow, with Tom Schemer’s guitar and Lee-La Baum’s vocals truly shining, as they do on The Lonely. 

    The Damn Truth - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    It turns into a true and very wet singalong later, especially on the very catchy This Is Who We Are Now, which you surely must have heard on the radio. Or, if you have not, you can play it now and have it stuck in your head for a few days.

    They mention having been nominated for a Juno (the Canadian Grammy) for Rock Album Of The Year. Despite not having won, it is a sign that rock ‘n’ roll is back. 

    Armored Saint

    It is starting to heat up now. Not the weather, of course. It is still raining and getting heavier now, but the Metal is burning bright. What a treat to hear ’80s American legends Armored Saint come out all guns blazing, grabbing us by the shoulders and reminding us of exactly why they were regarded as the Kings of Metal.

    Not a nostalgia band, the two tracks played from this year’s Emotion Factory Reset showed that the band have lost none of their vibrancy.

    Frontman John Bush leaned right into the rain, spending plenty of time right at the front beyond the stage canopy, getting as wet as we did. As the stage crew were kept busy continually mopping the floor, the quintet were unfazed and impressively delivered the goods.

    Last Train Home was atmospheric, and the crowd joined in with gusto. A dive into the pit to get up close and personal with the audience is always welcome, and the sight of Bush singing the classic Can U Deliver along with a guy in a scream mask will stay long in the memory. 

    Battle Beast

    This was always going to be a must-see set, for Finland’s Power Metallers Battle Beast have replaced their vocalist. Noora Louhimo has left to focus on solo pursuits, and today is the first UK show for her replacement, Marina La Torraca, from Brazil.

    Battle Beast - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    It took precisely twenty seconds of singing before the verdict was in. What a fantastic replacement. Noora is an exceptional and unique vocalist, and Marina’s tone is different. Still, she suited the material beautifully, is immensely talented and looked fantastic in a magnificent black leather long-fringed outfit.

    There were some technical gremlins before the second song, The Last Goodbye, but this was quickly sorted, and the rest of the set was flawless.

    Everyone was cheering up and keeping warm by bopping about to the very best kind of cheesy Euro Metal. Their set was so much fun (you can never go wrong with a keytar), with a fair amount of grit to keep things from descending into pop territory.

    Towards the end of the set, Eden was a real highlight, with the crowd singing along in a call-and-response, contributing to the many layers and driving rhythm. Battle Beast’s power thunders on unchecked. 

    Magnum

    The death of co-founder Tony Clarkin in 2024 sent shock waves of loss throughout the community, and it was difficult to see how Magnum could continue without him. After a short hiatus, his compadre, frontman Bob Catley, announced some shows specifically to pay tribute to Clarkin.

    These were such a success that the band continued, with long-term guitar tech Brendan Riley stepping into the lead guitarist position, and a brand new album is due later this year. 

    There is so much love for the melodic hard rockers. You could feel it in waves across the arena as the band took to the stage. Bob Catley, only a couple of weeks short of his 79th birthday, was resplendent in an embroidered velvet jacket and led the band through a selection of the most beloved anthems. 

    Magnum - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    Magnum – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    No one expects a voice to sound as good at 78 as it did at 38, that’s a given, but unfortunately something went badly wrong in the sound mix for the first few songs, to Catley’s detriment. This was a pity. However, goodwill carried the band through, and there was a definite improvement as the set went on.

    The epic and treasured tracks were well chosen to celebrate the band’s legacy and indeed keep the night light burning.

    How Far Jerusalem, Lost On The Road To Eternity, On A Storyteller’s Night, Kingdom of Madness, it was so good to hear these anthems. The songs are far too good to be mothballed. It was indeed a sacred hour. 

    Accept

    A huge air of excitement gathered as the sky darkened at sunset and German Metallers Accept took to the stage.

    We knew it was going to be good as the band played some UK dates this week as part of their 50th anniversary tour and went down a storm. This shorter festival set cut straight to the chase and delivered top-grade premium Heavy Metal to swoon over. 

    Metal Heart was the opener, Mark Tornillo’s gritty, powerful voice telling the dystopian tale that seems all too relevant today. That was quickly forgotten, though, as a confetti cannon exploded at the end, scattering bespoke Accept confetti over the joyful assembled masses.

    The imposing presence of Wolf Hoffman dominated proceedings. The axeman is now 66 and looks so damn good, muscular and honed. With his Flying V, he plays so fast and yet so clean. There is daylight between every note. 

    The stage set was visually arresting, with the drum riser set high up above the band’s giant logo while the wide platform at the front gave plenty of opportunity for some glorious showboating, either from Hoffman alone or with a combination of band members, with synchronised moves that would make any boyband envious.

    In honour of the anniversary, a collaboration album, Teutonic Titans, has been recorded, featuring a ridiculous amount of A-list guests to recreate classics from the back catalogue. One such guest is Armored Saint’s John Bush, which was super handy as he came out as guest vocalist on To The Limit.

    The set continued to delight all the way through, with Pandemic and Princess Of The Dawn being particular highlights.

    Proceedings drew to a close with Fast As A Shark (complete with inflatable shark in the arena), the contrast of the German folk melody blasting into the ultra-fast aggressive riff simply never gets old. 

    There was only one song to end on, Balls To The Wall, of course. There was a complete power failure at one point, and everything went silent. However, we all took up the slack and carried the song on from the arena until, by the sheer power of Heavy Metal, the electricity was restored, and the finale came to a suitably epic close.

    A thrilling, joyful set that left at least one of our team needing a sit down afterwards.

    Europe

    There are bands with a glorious past. There are also bands choosing to dwell on that past, only playing the hits and making new music in exactly the same vein.

    Europe - Stonedead Festival 2026 - 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk
    Europe – Stonedead Festival 2026 – 29 August 2026. Photo: Matt Pratt/MetalTalk

    And then there are bands capable of constantly evolving, while being completely capable of returning to the most important parts of their past. That is what Europe have chosen to do since coming back to life in 2003.

    Tonight’s set, a typical festival one, going through parts of their whole career, is living proof of this.

    With a Joey Tempest leading them and sounding and looking much younger than his age, the Swedes show what a fantastic live band they are. They start with On Broken Wings, from their early Heavy Metal days, and throw in Rock The Night, a song other bands would easily save for an encore, second in the set.

    Newer tracks, like Walk The Earth or War Of Kings, as well as the two new singles, One On One and The Cult Of Ignorance from the forthcoming Come This Madness record, sound great alongside some of their old hits, like Sign Of The Times or Superstitious.

    The latter even has a passage from Whitesnake’s Here I Go Again, sung by everyone present. And speaking of everyone singing, I do not believe I need to describe Carrie. Or an Open Your Heart with Tempest on acoustic guitar, and the added lyrics “I’m not going to bed, ‘Cause I’ve been to Stonedead,” and the singer’s remark that they finally did a good song.  

    The whole band is in fantastic form, guitarist John Norum showing why he is one of the best in the business.

    Of course, they end on an encore of Cherokee. And the inevitable song that everyone knows them for, and some people very wrongly reduce them to, The Final Countdown.

    A great choice of headliner and a band that still has a lot left to say. Definitely catch them live if you can.

  • Gallows Announce Represses Of ‘Orchestra Of Wolves’ & ‘Grey Britain’

    Gallows have revealed that they are repressing their first two albums, ‘Orchestra Of Wolves’ and ‘Grey Britain’ on vinyl.


    ‘Orchestra Of Wolves’ was first released in 2006, and introduced the band as one of punk’s most volatile and vicious new assets. A crushing, gritty, bile-drenched collection of savage tracks, it still feels as visceral and violent 20 years later.

    And ‘Grey Britain’ followed in 2009. More slick but no less sensationally bleak, a concept album set at the end of all things, that feels even closer to reality right now than it did at the beginning of the century, it is a heavy-hitter in every sense. Ambitious, antagonistic and outrageously brilliant.

    Both records have been completely remastered and, especially on the digital editions, are packed with loads of bonus tracks, too.

    For ‘Orchestra Of Wolves’, here is the tracklisting:

    1. Kill The Rhythm
    2. Come Friendly Bombs
    3. Abandon Ship
    4. In The Belly Of A Shark
    5. Six Years
    6. Rolling With The Punches
    7. Last Fight For The Living Dead
    8. Just Because You Sleep Next To Me Doesn’t Mean You’re Safe
    9. Will Someone Shoot That Fucking Snake
    10. Stay Cold
    11. I Promise This Won’t Hurt
    12. Orchestra Of Wolves
    13. Gold Dust
    14. Sick Of Feeling Sick
    15. Black Heart Queen
    16. Nervous Breakdown
    17. Staring At The Rude Bois (feat. Lethal Bizzle)
    18. Wrathchild
    19. If Credit’s What Matters I’ll Take Credit
    20. Abandon Ship (BBC Radio 1 Punk Session)
    21. Rolling With The Punches (BBC Radio 1 Punk Session)
    22. Will Someone Shoot That Fucking Snake (BBC Radio 1 Punk Session)
    23. Six Years (BBC Radio 1 Punk Session)
    24. Just Because You Sleep Next To Me (BBC Radio 1 Rock Session)
    25. In The Belly Of A Shark (Live At BBC Radio 1)

    Whilst ‘Grey Britain’ looks like this, including all of the parts of the band’s accompanying film:

    1. The Riverbank
    2. London Is the Reason
    3. Leeches
    4. Black Eyes
    5. I Dread the Night
    6. Death Voices
    7. The Vulture (Acts I & II)
    8. The Riverbed
    9. The Great Forgiver
    10. Graves
    11. Queensberry Rules
    12.Misery
    13. Crucifucks
    14. Grey Britain Pt. 1

    Classic Rock Songs About Fall

    Autumn is a season of change, reflection, and transformation, and it’s no surprise that many classic rock songs have been inspired by its unique atmosphere. In crafting this list of 10 Best Classic Rock Songs About Fall, we’ve intentionally avoided the most obvious picks, instead digging deeper to uncover tracks that truly capture the spirit of the season. From the fading daylight to the crisp air and the sense of time slipping away, these songs explore the emotional layers of fall, sometimes directly, other times through more metaphorical expressions. # 10 – Autumn Leaves – Bob Dylan I was a

  • Wolfbrigade: Swedish Lycanthro Punk Outfit to Release “Howl from Underground” Full-Length October 9th on Metal Blade Records

    – September 8th, 2026 –

    “Cold War Bootlicker” Video/Single Now Playing + Pre-Orders Available

    Watch/stream WOLFBRIGADE’s “Cold War Bootlicker” HERE

    Swedish lycanthro punk outfit WOLFBRIGADE will release their Howl From Underground full-length on October 9th through Metal Blade Records.

    With the amps still warm from 2024′s coruscating comeback Life Knife Death, veteran Swedish punk-metal masters WOLFBRIGADE strike back like a wounded cobra with their loudest, fullest, thickest-sounding record yet. And that’s no happy accident. On their twelfth LP (the first three released under the Wolfpack moniker, 1996-99), Howl From Underground, the quintet concertedly resolved to shake up their habitual processes and interrogate their customary methodology.

    “As the songs started to fall into place, we decided to do something we hadn’t done in many years,” explains the band. “For the last decade we’ve recorded, produced, and mixed our albums ourselves. This time we wanted to work with someone from outside the band whose work we respect and who we felt would understand what WOLFBRIGADE is about.” The honor fell to Lawrence Mackrory – already a trusted collaborator with the likes of Meshuggah, Katatonia, Paradise Lost, and Bloodbath – at Necromorbus Studio, the converted Baptist church where Watain and Mayhem refined their occult chaos.

    The urge to initiate a new working environment may have been emboldened by the return of drummer David “Dadde” Stark, who originally hammered the d-beats for WOLFBRIGADE from 2002-2015. “Everything clicked immediately. The chemistry was still there,” attests the band.

    The term “lycanthro punk” recurs throughout the band’s 30+ year history, a catchy coinage acknowledging their d-beat raw punk roots and adding a maniacal bloodthirst and superhuman strength to the mix. It abides as the band’s preferred musical identity, so their own definition is essential: “Lycanthro Punk has always been about that force which refuses to be tamed. The same force that runs through myth, folklore, and philosophy throughout history. The wolf is one name for it. Dionysus another. A restlessness that survives civilization.” That force drives Howl From Underground.

    In advance of the record’s release, today the band presents first single, “Cold War Bootlicker,” noting of the track, “‘Cold War Bootlicker’ is about false opposites. We divide the world into competing camps, but the machinery never changes. Two heads fighting over the same body. Every master speaks a different language of obedience.”
