21 years after their last studio album, rock kings Gluecifer have re-signed with Steamhammer and proudly announce Same Drug New High, a new studio album arriving January 16 of next year.

At a time when the world’s inflationary desire for change seems to stop at nothing and no one, Gluecifer appear to be the proverbial solid rock.

The Norwegian band, one of the most successful in their country, immediately returned to their former strength after their reunion in spring 2018. Gluecifer continue to play their passionate melange of irresistible punk rock, traditional rock ‘n’ roll, and dazzling glam elements — just the way their fans want to hear it. The new studio album, Same Drug New High leaves no doubt that founding members Biff Malibu (vocals) and Captain Poon (guitar), plus long-standing bandmates Raldo Useless (guitar), Danny Young (drums), and Peter Larsson (bass), sound not only more mature and skilled, but also more versatile and determined than ever.

In conjunction with today’s album announcement, Gluecifer have also released the video for new single “The Idiot”. Watch below.

“Fast lyrics have always spelled rock ‘n’ roll. It hails back to the great Little Richard. The song draws on Gluecifer’s core influences. Fast and heavy, and some double bass drums thrown in for good measure,” says singer Biff Malibu. “The lyrics are a string of observations I’ve made on the streets surrounding a park in Oslo actually called The Idiot (“Iddioten” in Norwegian). This also happens to be the neighborhood where I live. You can call this a piece of hyper-local and short-haul rock.”

Columbus, OH based rock band South Of Eden has issued their newest, classic rock gem "Lone Riders". Vocalist Ehab Omran talks about the ferocious, guitar-driven single:


“We chose ‘Lone Riders’ as our first single because we felt the high-energy music and down to earth lyrics encapsulate everything about this band. It’s about being broke, overlooked, and over being on the outside looking in. You deal with it by getting high and watching life go by because you can’t afford to keep up with it.


It’s a mixture of a lot of things. We’re ‘classically rock’ influenced, but listen to so many different genres and eras that there are a lot of different feelings in our music. When you hear us, I want you to walk away thinking, ‘That was honest and different'. We’re just doing what we do. We’re proof you can do anything you want and shouldn’t compromise your dreams.”

“We’re a band that writes, records, and plays like the pioneers of rock before us. We aren’t looking to bring anything back, but instead to remind people what rock n roll means. No rules. This music represents what we believe is real, raw music.”


“Our goal is to help open the doors for rock in the modern era. We want to sound the way we hear rock n roll in our heads; vintage with a sprinkle of today. The objective is to give listeners the feeling of discovering the genre for the first time. We think now is the moment to be a rock band.”


On their previous record, The Talk, the musicians headed to Los Angeles to record with Grammy Award-winning producer Greg Wells (Adele, Twenty One Pilots, Deftones). “When I first heard the band, it had its own original identity,” explains Greg. “That was something I had waited years to find. I emailed them back saying, ‘I want to be your Mutt Lang’.”


When it came to recording, South Of Eden honor the methods of those who come before them and “tape in a vintage way, with no click track, pitch correction, copy-paste, or any of that nonsense” and have kept the same approach on their newest release, "Lone Riders", produced by Ehab and Jakob Mooney.


In live news, South Of Eden will be playing The Southgate House Revival in Newport, KY on February 18th.


 

CARNIVORE A.D., featuring bassist/vocalist Baron Misuraca (SHEER TERROR, DARKSIDE NYC),guitarist Chuck Lenihan (CRUMBSUCKERS, CHRISTIAN DEATH) and drummer Joe Cangelosi (KREATOR, MASSACRE, WHIPLASH),will release its first-ever studio EP, "Transmutation", on March 27, 2026 via Apostasy Records. The official lyric video for the EP's second single, "I Stand Alone", can be seen below.

Dedicated with love and honor to the memories of Peter Steele and Keith Alexander, CARNIVORE A.D. emerged as a post-Armageddon neo-barbaric soundscape — a relentless force keeping the primal energy of CARNIVORE alive on stages and festivals around the world. Formed by New York City hardcore and metal veterans Misuraca, Lenihan and Cangelosi and co-founded with full endorsement by original drummer Louie Beateaux, CARNIVORE A.D. has honored its roots by performing the explosive and brilliant works of Peter Steele with intensity, respect and raw power.

But now, with the release of "Transmutation", CARNIVORE A.D. transcends tribute. They have challenged themselves to write new material — not to replace the original legacy, but to continue its spirit through their own lens. While the legacy of CARNIVORE remains sacred, CARNIVORE A.D. has become something more than its origin — a band with its own scars, its own instincts, and now, its own songs.

Beateaux says: "Think of CARNIVORE A.D. as a renowned dining establishment where its chef passed on years ago but the recipes remain and folks still want to dine there instead of cooking the food themselves. And Chef Pete wouldn't mind because his friends are making it with love."

"Transmutation" track listing:

01. Prologue
02. Transmutation
03. I Stand Alone
04. Social Decomposition
05. Mine Is the Hand

The music was recorded and mixed at Soundlodge by Jörg Uken, with artwork by Simon Bossert.

Over the past years, CARNIVORE A.D. has appeared at established metal festivals (including Brutal Assault and Hellfest) as well as stages at events like Rock Hard Festival, Lisbon Tattoo Rock Fest, Ruhrpott Metal Meeting and Maryland Deathfest, reinforcing its reputation through consistent live performances and international presence.

With over 50,000 albums sold, 700,000+ monthly Spotify listeners, and more than 100 million streams, American hard rock experts, Throw The Fight, have already developed impressive numbers throughout their band history.


Three years after the release of their latest album, Settle Your Sins, the band marks their return as they officially announce the release of their upcoming full-length, entitled Strangeworld, out June 30 via Long Branch Records. Produced by Josh Gilbert and Joseph McQueen (As I Lay Dying, Bad Wolves, Light The Torch, Upon A Burning Body), the record is a potent distillation of the strengths of their catalog and a huge step forward to the future.


In conjunction with this announcement, today, the band released their new single, "Hourglass," alongside a brand new video - marking the second track released off Strangeworld - following the single, "Cover Your Tracks". Watch both videos below.




Singer Kade Katz comments: "An hourglass resembles the passage of time and serves as a reminder that time and moments are precious. It's a reminder to embrace life and be grateful for our limited time on this planet."


With a diehard audience earned the old-school way, and modern rock anthems suited for the digital age, Throw The Fight celebrates two decades of passion and perseverance. Mixing soaring melodicism and heavy bombast without ever sacrificing hooks, this Minnesota outfit was built to last.





Strangeworld will be released as LP Edition incl. transparent vinyl with blue streaks, CD Edition, Stream and Download. Exclusive T-Shirt+CD/LP Bundles are available for pre-order at the Long Branch Records Shop. Pre-order Strangeworld here:
