BEHEMOTH - Polish Court Dismisses NERGAL's “Republic Of The Unfaithful” Artwork CaseIn late 2017, Behemoth frontman, Adam "Nergal" Darski, was questioned by Polish authorities in the case of “The Republic Of The Unfaithful”, with the band’s t-shirt design accused of being disrespectful of Poland’s national coat of arms. He, along with two other men (Behemoth webmaster Maciej G. Cała and graphic artist Rafał W.) were eventually charged officially.
Nergal has now shared the following news via social media: "Legions! Huge win! 🇵🇱 After 8 years, Polish court dismissed “Republic of the Unfaithful” case. Censored design is back - symbol of artistic freedom! Coming soon to Behemoth Webstore. Stay tuned!"
A short history of the situation can be found in Nergal's post, below:

MORK Debut Lyric Video For New Single "Heksebål"Black metal legends, Mork, have released a lyric video for "Heksebål", the second single from their new album Syv, set for release on September 20 on Peaceville. Watch the clip below:
Following on from Thomas Eriksen’s self-titled Udåd project debut earlier this year; a dark release which explored the more underground & murkier-sounding waters of primitive black metal from a by-gone era, Syv emerges as the new pinnacle of Mork’s and Eriksen’s ever-evolving journey, as well as a creative expansion both sonically & compositionally over all prior works.
Syv also undoubtedly represents Mork’s most expressive and diverse works to date, with exquisite melodies interspersed with brutal and even occasionally progressive riffs amid an ever-present air of melancholy. This forms a perfect backdrop for Eriksen’s thematic dive through the contemplations of looming mortality, and digressions through the depths and contrasts of human existence; from the blackness of despair, to the pride & strength in overcoming, as well as absorbing additional inspiration from tales of old.
“We have reached the seventh chapter of the Mork saga. As I have stated earlier, it has been important for me to let the music evolve over the span of albums. It has really been a rewarding couple of years writing and recording Syv. When listening back the finished product I felt a great satisfaction. Brutal riffs meeting melancholy and melodic passages with a slight progressive approach. Lyrically scraping the bottom of human existence and frailty as well as touching an immense pride and strength. This is probably my most varied album to date. Which in my mind makes a perfect outcome and addition to the Mork catalogue.” – Thomas Eriksen
Syv was performed, recorded & mixed by Eriksen himself, with engineering assisted by Freddy Holm (who also contributes with strings and synths). Mastering work on the album was carried out by studio mastering guru Maor Appelbaum (Sepultura) in collaboration with Jack Control at Enormous Door (Darkthrone).
Syv will be released on black vinyl gatefold LP, cream white vinyl gatefold LP, jewel case CD with 12-page booklet and digitally on September 20. Pre-order at this location.

JASON BONHAM Leaves SAMMY HAGAR's 'Best Of All Worlds' Tour Due To Family Issue; KENNY ARONOFF Steps InJason Bonham was forced to leave Sammy Hagar's "The Best Of All Worlds" tour due to an unspecified family issue. The drummer was replaced at Hagar's concert on Tuesday night (August 27) at Riverbend Music Center in Cincinnati, Ohio by Kenny Aronoff, who had previously played with Hagar, bassist Michael Anthony and guitarist Joe Satriani in CHICKENFOOT.
"Tonight I'm going to dedicate this to the Bonham family in England," Hagar said while introducing the song "Eagles Fly". "Hope everything works out okay over there, and to our brother Jason."
At the end of the show, Hagar gave a special shout-out to "the man who saved the day, Kenny fucking Aronoff."
Aronoff replaced Chad Smith in CHICKENFOOT's touring lineup from 2011 to 2012. Smith was forced to step away from CHICKENFOOT's touring activities due to his commitments with the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS.
CHICKENFOOT recorded two albums between 2009 and 2011 and toured across America but never performed any VAN HALEN material. More recently, Hagar and Anthony have played some of the VAN HALEN catalog with guitarist Vic Johnson and Bonham in SAMMY HAGAR AND THE CIRCLE.
Back in 2012, Aronoff told Ultimate Classic Rock about his stint with CHICKENFOOT: "The cool thing about this band is that the level of musicianship is so high. Everybody’s been in so many bands that we're starting at such a high experienced level… There's a lot of stuff that you don't have to discuss. It's like if you took a bunch of NFL players and put them together, they're already starting with a lot of experience, so it's just a matter of making it gel… it gels so well, personality-wise and musically. And I think maybe that's what Chad was thinking when he picked me. He picked me personally — he kept telling them, 'This is the guy you should get to replace me while I'm out with the CHILI PEPPERS.' And it's worked — he's right. It was just the right combination of people."
For "The Best Of All Worlds" tour, Hagar and his bandmates in THE CIRCLE — Anthony and Bonham — are being joined by Satriani and multi-instrumentalist Rai Thistlethwayte.
"The Best Of All Worlds" setlist consists largely of VAN HALEN material, including the opening track "Good Enough", from 1986's "5150" album, as well as two songs from 1991's "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge", "Poundcake" and "Runaround", and a pair of David Lee Roth-era VAN HALEN classics, "Panama" and "Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love", as well as a section of "Jump".
The rest of the set includes Satriani's "Satch Boogie", the rousing rock-swing guitar instrumental that put him on the map in 1987 and helped propel his second album, "Surfing With The Alien", to platinum status. and several of Hagar's solo classics, such as "There's Only One Way To Rock", "Eagles Fly", "Heavy Metal" and "I Can't Drive 55".
Produced by Live Nation, the 28-date "The Best Of All Worlds" tour will conclude on August 31 in St. Louis, Missouri. 3

MICK FLEETWOOD & JAKE SHIMABUKURO Release "Whiter Shade Of Pale" Single And Music VideoRenowned ukulele virtuoso, Jake Shimabukuro, and drumming legend and Fleetwood Mac co-founder, Mick Fleetwood, have teamed up to release a new rendition of the classic "Whiter Shade Of Pale". The single, a reimagining of Procol Harum's iconic song, is the second taste of their collaborative album, set to drop on October 18 via Forty Below Records.
Stream/download “Whiter Shade Of Pale” here, and watch a music video below.
"Whiter Shade Of Pale" has long been regarded as a timeless classic, and now, in the hands of these two iconic musicians, it takes on a new life. The collaboration marries Jake Shimabukuro’s masterful ukulele playing with Mick Fleetwood’s dynamic drumming, creating a soundscape that is both haunting and uplifting.
Mick Fleetwood shares his excitement about the project: "This is a song I’ve always wanted to play… of course, the song recorded by Procol Harum was a world-renowned classic… with a melody so strong that it became a gift to us! And Jake totally commands the full need for dynamics and a passionate delivery. At last, I got to play and record this song!!!"
Jake Shimabukuro reflects on the collaboration: "This was a song that Mick suggested. Such an iconic piece of music. It truly plays like an anthem. And Mickʻs drumming makes the track feel amazing. I was just transported through his drum sounds."
The upcoming album, Blues Experience, promises to be a powerful fusion of their distinct musical styles, blending Jake’s innovative approach to the ukulele with Mick’s legendary rhythm. Fans can look forward to an album that pushes boundaries while honoring the timeless quality of the music they both cherish.
Pre-order the album here.
Joining Shimabukuro and Fleetwood on the album are bassist Jackson Waldhoff and keyboard player Michael Grande. Special guest Mark Johnstone from The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band also lends his keyboard prowess to "Need Your Love So Bad" and "Rockin' In The Free World." Over two intense three-day sessions, the band recorded nine tracks live in the studio, with Sonny Landreth contributing slide guitar to the Jeff Beck/Stevie Wonder classic "Cause We've Ended As Lovers."
Blues Experience promises to be a landmark release. It combines the formidable talents of Jake Shimabukuro and Mick Fleetwood with fresh, innovative interpretations of blues classics. Fans can expect a bold and forward-looking album deeply rooted in tradition.
Tracklisting:
"Cause We’ve Ended As Lovers"
"Rollin’ N Tumblin’"
"Need Your Love So Bad"
"Kula Blues"
"Whiter Shade of Pale"
"I Wanna Get Funky"
"Still Got The Blues"
"Rockin’ In The Free World"
"Songbird"
"Songbird" (Mick spoken word)
"Rollin’ N Tumblin’" video:
Over the past two decades, Jake Shimabukuro has proved that there isn’t a style of music that he can’t play. While versatility for any musician is impressive, Jake showcases his transcendent skills as he explores his seemingly limitless vocabulary through a variety of genres – on perhaps the unlikeliest of instruments: the ʻukulele. Called "one of the hottest axemen of the past few years [who] doesn't actually play guitar" said Rolling Stone, Jake Shimabukuro has become one of the most exceptional and innovative ʻukulele players in the history of the instrument—an artist who has drawn comparisons to musical titans such as Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis.
As drummer and co-founder of one of the best-selling bands of all time, Fleetwood Mac, Mick Fleetwood has sold over 100 million records worldwide and established his place in rock ‘n roll music history. Having created a distinctive sound that endures today, the Grammy-award winning artist was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. With countless chart-topping albums and singles, the band’s 1977 album Rumours remains one of the best-selling albums of all time. Fleetwood completed the An Evening With Fleetwood Mac Tour in 2019 and, in 2015, the On With The Show world tour, where he toured as a five-piece for the first time since 1998, featuring the five band members from the classic and most successful lineup back together, with Christine McVie rejoining band mates Fleetwood, John McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. The tour sold out arenas across the globe and showcased the classic hit songs from the band’s career that spans more than four decades.

HOUSE OF LORDS Announces New Album 'Full Tilt Overdrive'Hard rockers HOUSE OF LORDS will release their twelfth studio album, "Full Tilt Overdrive", on October 11 via Frontiers Music Srl. Recorded and produced once again by the band's singer and mastermind, James Christian along with keyboardist Mark Mangold, "Full Tilt Overdrive" does not change nor alter the band's winning formula but instead offers an inspired and credible album that stands shoulder to shoulder with the best albums from the band's repertoire.
To celebrate the announcement, the band is also sharing a new single "Bad Karma" along with a music video, available below.
This is an album that will be remembered as one of the strongest ever from the band. HOUSE OF LORDS has toured relentlessly in Europe and the States becoming a true staple of the hard rock scene on both continents. The band plans to bring the new songs on stage soon!
HOUSE OF LORDS is now formed by the legendary singer James Christian — the sole member who appeared on all the band's albums — guitarist Jimi Bell, who has been with the band since their return with "World Upside Down", the charismatic keyboardist and songwriter Mark Mangold (TOUCH, MICHAEL BOLTON, DRIVE, SHE SAID) along with Swedish drummer Johan Koleberg (LION'S SHARE, IGNITION, THERION). This is the same lineup that appeared on the previous album "Saints And Sinners". However, they are now definitely more gelled and have produced a more focused and extremely ambitious new album with no weak points.
HOUSE OF LORDS stands for superb hooks and majestic atmospheres that bring back the memories of their stellar debut album, monumental guitar riffs, and a production to die for. All these ingredients you will find in abundance on "Full Tilt Overdrive", especially with songs such as the nine-minute epic closer "Castles High" and the lead single "Bad Karma", not forgetting "Taking The Fall" which has a nod to the band's biggest hit "Can't Find My Way Home" and the riveting title track.
"Full Tilt Overdrive" track listing:
01. Crowded Room
02. Bad Karma
03. Cry of the Wicked
04. Full Tilt Overdrive
05. Taking The Fall
06. You're Cursed
07. Not The Enemy
08. I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye
09. Still Believe
10. State Of Emergency
11. Castles High
12. I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye (acoustic version) (bonus track for Japan)
HOUSE OF LORDS debuted in 1989 with the release of their self-titled album, a record that is still regarded as one of the best arena rock releases of the 1980s. The colossal sound, the soaring vocals of Christian, and the instrumental capabilities of the band (which featured ex-ANGEL and GIUFFRIA keyboardist Gregg Giuffria, along with luminaries Lanny Cordola, Chuck Wright and Ken Mary),were reminiscent of such frontrunners as WHITESNAKE, DEEP PURPLE and VAN HALEN and immediately brought the band to the attention of the mainstream music media and the masses of '80s hard rock fans.
With their sophomore release, "Sahara", HOUSE OF LORDS had considerable radio and video chart success with their cover of BLIND FAITH's "Can't Find My Way Home". After a tour with NELSON in 1991, the group disbanded, eventually coming back together with a new lineup (featuring original members Giuffria and Christian) in 1992 with "Demon's Down". With the change in musical climate at the time, HOUSE OF LORDS hibernated until the original lineup came back together in 2000, releasing the controversial "Power And The Myth", an album that featured a sound leaning more towards progressive hard rock with '70s rock influences.
After a short European tour, Christian decided to go back to the trademark arena rock sound of HOUSE OF LORDS, putting together a new lineup with the blessing of founding member Giuffria, who opted out right before the release of "Power And The Myth". New members Jimi Bell on guitars and B.J. Zampa on drums supplied a true powerhouse sound to the fifth studio album, "World Upside Down", a record that caused a real stir in the hard rock and melodic rock scenes. That album was followed up by the equally impressive "Come To My Kingdom" in 2008, "Cartesian Dreams" in 2009, "Big Money" in 2011, "Precious Metal" in 2014, and "Saint Of The Lost Souls" in 2017.
HOUSE OF LORDS have toured relentlessly in Europe and the States in support of their releases and are a true staple of the hard rock scene on both continents.
HOUSE OF LORDS 2024 is:
James Christian - vocals, bass
Jimi Bell - guitars
Mark Mangold - keyboards
Johan Koleberg - drums

LINKIN PARK Is Planning Special Event Next ThursdayLINKIN PARK is inviting fans to "be part of something" on Thursday, September 5.
The invite comes less than a day after LINKIN PARK's mysterious 100-hour countdown came to an end, only to glitch, reset and start counting upwards from zero. A short time later, LINKIN PARK took to social media to post that "It's only a matter of time…" At 00:09:05, the numbers glitched again for a couple of seconds, with several fans capturing the moment and sharing it on social media. Some fans had speculated that the numbers 9 and 5 referred to the date September 5, which has now been confirmed as the day when more details will be revealed.
A message on the official LINKIN PARK web site reads simply: "Be part of something. September 5."
In addition, members of Linkin Park Underground (commonly referred to as the LPU),the official fan club of LINKIN PARK, have reportedly been e-mailed about an event in Los Angeles that's happening on the same day as the above-mentioned announcement. The event is only open to LPU members, with tickets being randomly assigned. It will reportedly take place between 12:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. local time.
LINKIN PARK launched the 100-hour countdown timer on its web site and official social media accounts on Saturday, August 24. The same countdown timer was shared by the Instagram account of Welcome To Rockville, fueling speculation that some of the band's surviving members will perform at next year's edition of the Danny Wimmer Presents-produced festival, set to take place May 15-18, 2025 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
This past May, Billboard reported that LINKIN PARK was considering a possible 2025 reunion tour with a female vocalist stepping in for late lead singer Chester Bennington.
LINKIN PARK's booking agency WME was reportedly taking offers for a potential tour along with headlining festival dates that would feature Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson and Dave Farrell, Billboard's sources said.
One of the sources told Billboard that LINKIN PARK was hoping to find a female vocalist to front the reunited band, a rumor which was first started in April by ORGY frontman Jay Gordon who mentioned during a radio interview that he had "heard" that LINKIN PARK was working with a "girl singer now". When pressed, Gordon continued by saying: "Don't quote me on that. I'm not sure who the singer is going to be, but I heard it was gonna be female. They might just try to move on like that. That ought to be interesting." Jay later seemingly walked back his comments, writing in a Facebook post that he knew "nothing about any of that" and accused "people" of taking his words "out of context.".

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY Release New Single + Video ‘Savior Of None / Ashes Of All’Metal band FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY is thrilled to share their brand new single “Savior Of None / Ashes Of All”. Along with the track comes a new music video, which fans can watch below. “Savior Of None / Ashes Of All” comes from the band’s forthcoming album The Nothing That Is which is set to be released on October 25th via Nuclear Blast. Pre-order/pre-save the album now at https://ffaa.bfan.link/the-nothing-that-is.
On the new track, the band shares: “’Savior Of None / Ashes Of All’ is a reflection of the inherent darkness surrounding one’s struggle to find a place of peace within the pressures of existence. The root causes of suffering that leads us to depression, addiction, etc. can be ever-present in everyone. Whether or not it materializes in a controlling way, it certainly exists as a stain on the human psyche. It’s a powerful thought knowing that we all share this potential to self destruct, and how that can bring comfort in not feeling alone, or more chaos to an already fractured human.”

About:
Success hasn’t spoiled FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY—but as any fan of the New Jersey metal sextet could tell you, there was never much chance of that happening in the first place. FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s acclaimed 2022 album On What the Future Holds was the band’s highest-charting release to date, becoming the first of their six full-lengths to reach the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. But while some musicians would take such an achievement as a cue to duplicate whatever worked last time, or maybe even tailor their sound to boost its commercial appeal, the band—vocalist Joe Badolato, guitarists Will Putney, Patrick Sheridan and Tim Howley, bassist Peter Spinazola, and drummer JoseanOrta—simply continued to evolve along their own path. The Nothing That Is, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s seventh and latest album (and third for Nuclear Blast), bears no sign whatsoever of commercial concession or rehashed past glories. Instead, the ten-song album finds the band exploring moodier textures and deeper emotions that add new power and dynamics to their already brutal and complex music, while also completely tuning out the ambient noise of passing musical trends and the expectations of the outside world. Produced by Putney at his Graphic Nature Audio studio in Kinnelon, New Jersey, The Nothing That Is is an album filled with anger, frustration and crushing despair. Songs like “Hostage“, “Red Horizon“, “Lower Purpose“,and the pummeling title track grapple with the horrors that the human race has unnecessarily inflicted upon the world, while the epic, introspective closer “The Silver Sun” reflects bitterly upon our uncertain future. Built to be listened to in its entirety in a single sitting ,The Nothing That Is flows like the gripping soundtrack to a documentary film of our increasingly dystopian existence. A ringing wake-up call for humanity and a thoroughly intense listening experience, TheNothing That Is brims with both aggression and melody, its bracing music delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and forged its sense of purpose through fifteen-plus years of all-out live shows. Sufficiently secure of their place in the metal firmament to let their music go wherever feels right for a particular song, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY have delivered what may well be the greatest album of their career.

BLESSTHEFALL Shares Video For New Single 'Drag Me Under'In spring 2023, BLESSTHEFALL — Beau Bokan (vocals),Eric Lambert (guitar),Jared Warth (bass) and Elliott Gruenberg (guitar) — dropped "Wake The Dead", its first new track in five years. It has already accrued a whopping 10 million streams.
Today, the band has shared the video for the recently released single "Drag Me Under", featuring ALPHA WOLF's Lochie Keogh. The song was co-written by Tony Cappocchi from DRAGGED UNDER and produced and mixed by Hiram Hernandez.
"The first time I heard the instrumental for 'Drag Me Under', my mind was absolutely blown away," says Bokan. "This song punishes you relentlessly then lets you breathe for about four seconds then continues to punish. I knew we needed a top-tier feature to really make this song stand out so we recruited Lochie Keogh from ALPHA WOLF. It's pretty obvious this song is totally different than anything we're ever done but still sounds like BLESSTHEFALL."
BLESSTHEFALL will embark on a headline tour. It kicks off August 28 in Berkley, California and runs through September 28 in Davenport, Iowa.
BLESSTHEFALL's notched back-to-back Top 25 debuts on the Billboard 200 with "Hollow Bodies" (2013) and "To Those Left Behind" (2015) while 2018's "Hard Feelings" marked their third straight Top 5 bow on the Top Alternative Albums chart. With the latter, Unclear claimed the band "may have struck serious gold," while Alternative Press applauded how "BLESSTHEFALL blend old-school vibes and a fresh new sound." Speaking to their enduring legacy, they've racked up hundreds of millions of streams with "Hey Baby, Here's That Song You Wanted" at 33.8 million Spotify streams followed by "Hollow Bodies" at 26.2 million Spotify streams in addition to landing syncs in franchises such as Splinter Cell. In the wake of a successful tenth-anniversary tour to celebrate "Witness" in 2019, BLESSTHEFALL went quiet for the next two years. Between the global pandemic and various other gigs, the members still kept the lines of communication open. The band now emerges from a half-decade of dormancy, and not a moment too soon.

LEAGUE OF DISTORTION To Release Galvanize Album In October; Title Track Music Video Postedto galvanize (verb, [ˈɡæl.və.naɪz]): to cause someone to suddenly take action, especially by shocking or exciting them in some way
The time has come to galvanize. Modern metal force League Of Distortion make a ferocious statement with their second album, Galvanize, set for release via Napalm Records on October 25. Two years ago, the band entered the scene with their bombastic self-titled debut album, delivering a fresh sound and unique style that interprets modern metal in a creative way.
This is showcased on their newest single and title track, “Galavanize”, which dropped today to kick start the anticipation. The song features a powerful electronic intro, hard-hitting verses, a catchy chorus and showcases frontwoman Ace’s commanding vocals alongside guitarist Arro’s dynamic riffs.
The band is composed of the aformentioned, talented vocalist Anna “Ace” Brunner (Exit Eden) and exceptional guitarist Jim “Arro” Müller (Kissin’ Dynamite), who succeeds on this album as vocalist as well. Together with the strong and steady beats of drummer Tino “Aeon” Calmbach and edgy rhythm of bassist Felix “Ax” Rehmann, the quartet is ready to add to their wins with their newest onslaught. Their most successful song, "Wolf or Lamb”, reached over 1 million streams, and beyond this, they demonstrated their raging live performance at major festivals like Metalfest, Rock Harz, Baltic Open Air, Castle Rock, as well as an absolute kick-ass show at Summer Breeze in 2023. In addition, they took various stages by storm as support for German stadium rockers Kissin’ Dynamite, metalcore heroes Caliban on their German tour, and the legendary Kamelot on their European tour. Later this year, League Of Distortion will hit various stages for their very first headline tour in fall and winter, kicking off November 15 in Cologne.
League Of Distortion on “Galvanize”: "Life has its own inexplicable rules, and it feels like the world is on the verge of destruction. Each individual existence is vested with chains and challenges. Life sometimes seems like a video game - but it’s not, this is real. With the song ‘Galvanize’, we want to encourage everyone to have the audacity to break free from what holds you back. Fight for the right thing, make a change and become the best version of yourself. Don’t let your life pass by. Be brave and take action - now is the time to GALVANIZE."
Watch the official music video for “Galvanize” below.
Starting off, the brute title track sets the tone for this relentless album, as an electronic intro is followed by a stomping verse. This soon melds with a blasting chorus and catchy melody, as Ace’s forceful vocals unleash her power and incredible skills. Followed by previously released single "My Hate Will Go On”, the intense track is a raw onslaught embodying everything League Of Distortion stands for - sincerity, honesty and incredible power - topped by hard beats and bludgeoning guitar riffs. Interchanging and irresistible, soft and aggressive vocals fire with emotion, reflecting Ace’s inner “hate” that can no longer be contained. The indisputable center of the music is her voice, as the quartet bleeds the essence of League Of Distortion into the track - bravely reflecting on the painful, dark parts of life. But instead of falling deeper into despair, the musical force turns darkness into relentless power, taking these obstacles head on.
The band also reflects this energy on tracks like “Chainsaw”, which convinces with a hymn-like chorus. With intense and empowering tracks like the aggressive and forward stomping “My Enemy” and “Suck My Blood”, the band is self-assured with lyrics reflecting toxic relationships and defending against an oppressor. Thematically similar, speeding “The Crown” further impresses with incredible synthesizers evoking invincibility. Another standout track is “In our DNA”, featuring guest genre-mates Cypecore, which addresses the long-standing debate of nature vs. nurture and is underlined by stunning male and female vocal lines. This potent combination can also be found on “Crucify Me”, which bribes with a stomping rhythm. Musically, the band doesn’t shy away from crossing genre-boundaries, proven on tracks like “What's Wrong With Her?”, which deals with the theme of envy and competitive behavior among women. The song boasts a reggae inspired intro before bursting into an intense modern metal wall of sound with electronic elements and rap-like vocals. Similarly, genre-fusing is “Anti-Hero”, with rap and hip hop-beats in the verses that build up to a hymnic metal chorus.
Galvanize is like a brutal thunderstorm of unbound energy, guiding the listener into eternal darkness while still shining with the bright, lightning-like energy that lies within. The quartet proves they’re a perfect modern metal match, combining creative performance, composition, provocation and pure emotion. It’s clear that this album is only the beginning of an untamable modern metal storm.
League Of Distortion on Galvanize: “We are excited and euphoric to share this second album with you. Yes, the relentless modern metal storm is raging on. Untamed and rampant we are again, openly and honestly speaking our minds, trying to process what's going on in this world, sharing very personal topics and lyrics and providing a badass sound-wall. Fearless of crossing lines and musically borders we created an album which has its own personality and sound.”
Galvanize will be available in the following formats:
- 1LP Gatefold Red
- CD Digisleeve + Shirt Bundle
- 1CD Digisleeve
- Digital Album

DREAM THEATER Announces 'Vol. 1' Seven-LP Vinyl Box SetProgressive metal legends DREAM THEATER have announced "Vol. 1", a seven-LP vinyl box set dropping on September 27, 2024 via Rhino. The collection includes the albums "Images And Words", "Awake", "Falling Into Infinity" and "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory".
"Vol. 1" traces DREAM THEATER's trajectory throughout the 1990s, highlighting the natural evolution of their signature sound in the span of an important decade and their uncanny interplay. Among many accolades, "Images And Words" (1992) not only reached gold status, but it also claimed a spot on Rolling Stone's coveted "100 Greatest Metal Albums Of All Time." Not to mention, it housed signature staples such as "Pull Me Under", "Another Day" and "Metropolis - Part 1: "The Miracle And The Sleeper". Meanwhile, Guitar World placed "Awake" (1994) at No. 1 on its "Superunknown: 50 Iconic Albums That Defined 1994." They maintained the momentum of this creative run with "Falling Into Infinity" (1997). Finally, "Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes From A Memory" (1999) has cemented a surefire legacy of its own. In a Rolling Stone poll, audiences overwhelmingly cast votes in favor of "Metropolis Pt. 2" as the "number one all-time progressive rock album." Classic Rock chose it as the "15th greatest concept album."
Limited to just 2,500 copies worldwide, "Vol. 1" will be followed by "Vol. 2" and "Vol. 3", coming in 2025.
Drummer Mike Portnoy returned to DREAM THEATER last October after a 13-year-absence.
Portnoy co-founded DREAM THEATER in 1985 with guitarist John Petrucci and bassist John Myung. Mike played on 10 DREAM THEATER albums over a 20-year period, from 1989's "When Dream And Day Unite" through 2009's "Black Clouds & Silver Linings", before exiting the group in 2010.
Mike Mangini joined DREAM THEATER in late 2010 through a widely publicized audition following the departure of Portnoy. Mangini beat out six other of the world's top drummers — Marco Minnemann, Virgil Donati, Aquiles Priester, Thomas Lang, Peter Wildoer and Derek Roddy — for the gig, a three-day process that was filmed for a documentary-style reality show called "The Spirit Carries On".
This past April, DREAM THEATER announced the European leg of its "40th Anniversary Tour 2024 - 2025". The trek — presented as "An Evening With Dream Theater" — is the first outing since Portnoy's return.
The European leg of DREAM THEATER's "40th Anniversary Tour 2024 - 2025" consists of stops in 23 cities and kicks off on October 20 and runs through November 24.

It's a huge challenge, because also I had new members in the band. So, it's many things to manage. So, this was a really big challenge for me. That's why it was the difference. Like, wow! Now I felt the difference of the lineup change."

Canada's A SCAR FOR THE WICKED Share "Despicable Existence" Lyric VideoDizzying deathcore powerhouse A Scar For The Wicked are preparing to decimate with their forthcoming release Acolythus on November 7th, 2024. Today, they offer their a fresh taste with their new single "Despicable Existence".
The band comments on "Despicable Existence," sharing: "Theme: self-hatred, focusing on a man who is writing a suicide letter to his friends and family. He is grappling with the decision to end his own life, reflecting on how each choice he has made has led him to a profound sense of self-disgust and disdain.
Musically, This song is one of our personal favorite. Powerful, crushing riffs drive the track, emphasizing the gravity of the theme. Fast tremolo picking adds intensity over a melodic solo mirroring the emotional turmoil of the lyrics. A beautiful neoclassical chorus provides a melodic contrast, enhancing the emotional depth of the song with subtle synths in the background to add atmospheric depth, enriching the overall soundscape."
Acolythus artwork and tracklisting:
"Seven Wraiths"
"The Ophidian Offspring"
"Drowned In Gluttony"
"Golden Touch Of Eternity"
"Despicable Existence"
"Acolythus"
"Into A Coalescent Damnation"
"Sacrificial Genocide"
"Son Of Dawn"
Based out of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, A Scar For The Wicked formed in 2011 drawing primary influences from the likes of The Black Dahlia Murder, Dimmu Borgir, The Zenith Passage, and Belphegor, and the gory blood-soaked realms of horror. The following year saw the release of the debut EP, Scars, with subsequent EPs The Necrobutcher and The Unholy landing in 2014 and 2018 respectively. Across their career, the band have have brought their unyielding energy to festivals around their home province, and notably have shared stages with heavyweight acts including Whitechapel, Thy Art Is Murder, Born Of Osiris, Archspire and Chelsea Grin.
