Chances are, if you have never heard of the band Sweet, you have almost definitely heard one of the many classic Sweet Songs that the band released at the height of their career in the 1970s. The band had a long string of hits in the United States, starting with their 1972 mega-hit “Little Willy” and ending with their late-1970s song “Love Is Like Oxygen.” In between, the band’s look and sound defined the 1970s glam rock genre. The band was initially formed in 1968 in London, England. The release schedules for singles and albums differed between the United Kingdom

This Wild Life have shared another cover version, and this may be the pick of the bunch so far, as they take on Sleep Token’s vulnerable epic ‘Caramel’.

Though the original darts between pop beats and blistering blastbeats, this take lets the words hit all the harder. Softly plucked strings, both on guitar and on violin, showcase just how beautiful the song is below the surface, and such a delicate approach also shows how striking the sentiment at the centre of it is.

It’s a melding of worlds, but a reminder that the set of emotions that we all feel are so intricately intertwined. That’s where connection truly lies, and why music is so impossibly vital in allowing us to find each other.

For Kevin and Anthony to continue doing that in their own unique ways is truly a blessing.

Have a watch and a listen for yourself. It is effortlessly beautiful.

It’s the band’s third cover of the year so far. It follows on from their take on Bilmuri’s ‘BETTER HELL’, where they made it even more country-soaked than it already was.

And that followed on from their reimagining of Sabrina Carpenter’s megahit ‘Manchild’, where, once again, stripping away the layers allows those lyrics to bite that little bit harder.

A new force is rising in heavy music.

After more than a decade at the forefront of modern metal, internationally acclaimed vocalist Alissa White-Gluz is entering a powerful new chapter with the launch of her new band, BLUE MEDUSA.

Known for her commanding voice, unmistakable stage presence, and trailblazing role in extreme metal, White-Gluz has built a career defined by momentum and reinvention. Widely recognized as one of the longest-serving female death metal vocalists, she has spent two decades performing on the world’s biggest stages and earning a reputation as one of the genre’s most electrifying frontwomen.

White-Gluz was at the forefront of Arch Enemy’s most successful years in the band’s history, expanding their global audience and performing on the world’s biggest metal stages. Across multiple bands, collaborations and projects throughout her career, White-Gluz has consistently helped push heavy music into new territory. Now, with BLUE MEDUSA, White-Gluz sets her sights on pushing that legacy even further.

Fans can expect the same signature ferocity, theatrical energy and vocal firepower that have defined White-Gluz’s career, now unleashed in a fresh, expansive and electrifying setting.

“Blue Medusa is the next evolution of everything I’ve been building toward for years,” says White-Gluz. “It’s my creative melting pot. Everything fans enjoy about the energy, intensity, and performance they’ve always experienced on stage with me over the past two decades is still here, even stronger. That is me, that is who I am and who I’ve always been. And now it’s amplified and unleashed in a fully sovereign artistic vision. Our music has blazing guitar solos, crushing riffs, brutal vocals, fast and aggressive drums, thoughtful melodies and most importantly (to me), really cogitative lyrics.”

Known for pairing ferocious vocals with thoughtful and introspective lyricism, White-Gluz’s writing channels catharsis, resilience, philosophy and intellectual and emotional depth.

BLUE MEDUSA consists of a trio of world-class musicians; White-Gluz has guitarists Alyssa Day and Dani Sophia at her sides. “The musical chemistry I feel with these women is really bringing me back to life. It is so refreshing and exciting,” says White-Gluz of her fellow gorgons. On stage, on drums and bass, White-Gluz hints that two women at the top of their musical game will be joining her; Delaney Jaster and Alicia Vigil respectively.

“I specifically chose to share this news on International Women’s Day because building stronger platforms for women in heavy music is something I care deeply about. I am brewing up a lot of ideas right now, my brain is in full creative flow. I’ve been carving my own path in this genre for a long time, and I want to help pave the way for the next generation of women who love metal as much as I do. Medusa turned people to stone… I want to pave the road in sapphire.”

With new music coming very soon and live performances already lining up with the band’s live debuts at Louder Than Life and Aftershock festivals, BLUE MEDUSA is taking off like lightning and marks the beginning of an exciting new era for metal fans.

More details will be announced soon.
