Pretty much since the release of AB III and their third-top slot at Download 2011, Alter Bridge have been in the conversation of headlining said festival. Their 2014 slot before Aerosmith was them saying “We’re ready,” whilst that 2017 performance was headline-worthy of itself and, frankly, blew Aerosmith off the stage that year. So their … Continue reading Festival Review: Blackbird Festival 2026

Proto-metalists Blue Cheer put forth the suggestion that there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues, but we’d like to rebut that assertion with a fistful of old school New Mexico death metal courtesy of Santa Fe ragers Street Tombs and their new single, “Upset the Grave.” Consider your summertime blues cured. And by cured we mean stomped on, ravaged and set on fire. This five-minute cranium walloper, from their upcoming second full-length, Existence Is Corruption, relies on simple feral savagery to deliver blow after blow. These dudes—Damian Jacoby (vocals/guitar), David McMaster (guitar/backing vox), Ben Brodsky (drums), Galen Baudhuin (bass)—offer up basic blood and guts DM with glee. Bye bye blues.

Existence Is Corruption was was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Greg Wilkinson at Engine 70 Studios in Santa Fe, New Mexico and Earhammer Studio in Oakland, California, with additional recording by bassist Galen Baudhuin. It’s set for release on CD, vinyl, cassette and digitally via Carbonized Records on August 21. You can place North American preorders here, European here, other international orders here and digital orders here.

Here’s guitarist/vocalist Jacoby had to say about the new single:

“‘Upset the Grave’ plays into themes of human entrapment and addiction. It culminates at the point in which humans choose to remain complacent in their self destruction. The nature of our pain and suffering differ, but ‘Upset the Grave’ thrashes to something universal, as consuming destructive thoughts collectively contaminate and rip apart our apathetic minds.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
WOODEN UNLEASHES EPIC NEW SINGLE “VEIL OF MANKIND”

Montreal Heavy Metal Outfit Delivers Their Most Ambitious Composition Yet, Blending Thrash Fury, Traditional Metal Power, and Progressive Depth

Montreal, Canada heavy metal force WOODEN has unleashed their powerful new single “Veil Of Mankind,” out now as of August 1st, 2026. The seven-and-a-half-minute epic showcases the band’s evolution as songwriters, combining the aggression of classic thrash metal with soaring melodic passages and progressive influences while delivering a thought-provoking lyrical journey.
Formed in 2020, WOODEN is a five-piece heavy metal band dedicated to blending the spirit of 1980s traditional metal with the intensity and modern edge of 2000s metal. Often described as a heavier take on the legendary sound of Iron Maiden, the band brings together crushing riffs, dynamic arrangements, and memorable melodies inspired by the foundations of heavy music.
“Veil Of Mankind” represents a major step forward for the band, pushing their songwriting further than ever before. The track moves through blistering thrash sections, powerful traditional metal moments, and intricate progressive passages while telling a reflective story through its lyrics.


“This is the most ambitious song we have written to date,” says WOODEN. “It’s a seven and a half minute long journey going from fast paced thrash metal to more melodic progressive metal sections, all while telling a story through reflective and thought-provoking lyrics. Compared to the tracks on our first album, this definitely has more creative songwriting, and was a collaborative effort from all the band members. It has that signature Wooden sound, just with a step up.”


The new single was produced, mixed, and mastered by Antony Lepage , capturing the full power and atmosphere of WOODEN’s evolving sound.
WOODEN first made their mark with their self-titled debut album “Wooden,” released October 18th, 2024. The album quickly gained attention worldwide, earning over 12,000 streams across 45 different countries through platforms including Spotify, Bandcamp, YouTube, and Apple Music. The release received features from outlets and platforms including The New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal, The Circle Pit, Decibel Metal Radio Show on CIBL 101.5, and GMPQ Media.
Following their debut success, WOODEN continued building momentum throughout 2025, competing in the first round of the Wacken Metal Battle Canada and performing throughout Quebec. The band also appeared at the inaugural Montreal Power Fest and opened for touring American metal act The Anchor, further establishing themselves as one of Canada’s rising heavy metal acts.
For fans of Metallica, Testament, and Pantera , WOODEN delivers a modern interpretation of classic heavy metal traditions while carving out their own identity through powerful songwriting and relentless musicianship.
“VEIL OF MANKIND” IS OUT NOW.
