Cobra Spell on 666: “Unleash the power of our upcoming album, 666 - an album that defines convention and rebels against the limitations imposed on us, women. This is a sonic journey that embraces the devil’s number as a symbol of personal autonomy and freedom. ‘666’ is not just music; it’s an act of rebellion against gender inequality, a scream for freedom of expression, and a fight to destigmatize sexual expression for women. Join us in this unapologetic quest for equality and empowerment.”

Boston's Pathogenic is set to make a triumphant return with the release of Crowned In Corpses, a brutal and immersive display of progressive tech death. This marks their first full-length release in over half a decade, promising a bold evolution of their signature brand of progressive tech death, while retaining the intensity that has defined the band for years.
This is evident in the album's first single, "Mass Grave Memory". The official music video for the song can be seen below.
Pathogenic vocalist Jake Burns reveals the song's lyrical themes: “'Mass Grave Memory' asks the ultimate question: What do we gain when we destroy everything? It’s a vivid portrayal of nuclear war’s aftermath — the searing light, the choking ash, and the silence of a world undone. Above all, it stands as a stark warning of what will await us if humanity loses control.”
Skepsis Recordings will release Crowned In Corpses on February 7, 2025. Pre-order the album now at this location.

As to the choice, the band claims: "Lost In Flames became the album title because it embodies the theme of the entire album: feeling lost, while our world around us was going up in flames. Everyon

Melodic / power thrashers Among These Ashes have revealed the official video for "The Undertow", a track from their forthcoming album, Embers Of Elysium.
The video was filmed and edited by Akuro Productions in Detroit, Michigan. It features Brooke Rousseau from Lady Luna And The Devil on harmony vocals.
Among These Ashes will release Embers Of Elysium December 6th via Alone Records. The album clocks in at over an hour of music and features 12 new tracks, plus a bonus song, from the band.
In discussing the new level reached on Embers Of Elysium, guitarist Richard Clark states that, "It is quite the leap for us in every aspect from Dominion Enthroned. Where Dominion was a full concept album, the first eight tracks on Embers Of Elysium are standalone, and the last four tracks are part of a fictional sci-fi/horror concept called Chronicles Of The Obsidian Reign. I can say with confident humility that every song on this album was crafted and delivered without compromise. The wide range of all of our influences is on display on this album. I think we executed it tastefully and with precision, and I hope it resonates powerfully with listeners."

"Serpents Among Rats"

Finnish progressive heavy psychedelic rockers Craneium are thrilled to announce they’ve officially signed with Majestic Mountain Records. To celebrate this exciting occasion, the band will release their brand-new single "Empty Palaces" this Friday, available on all digital platforms. In addition, the track's accompanying video can be seen below.
In a statement from the band, guitarist Martin Ahlö shared: “A friend of the band gifted us a book on old Egyptian magick, and some of the spells carried really empowering messages. It also inspired the themes that we explored a lot in our music at the moment: the inevitable decay of mankind’s empires and monuments at the hands of nature and time.”
Drummer Joel Kronqvist added, “We’re beyond excited to share a new single called ‘Empty Palaces’ with the world. This track is the perfect blend of our signature '90s edge mixed with the soulful, retro vibes of the '70s.”

InsideOutMusic recently announced the signing of Italian instrumental, prog-metal fusionists, Asymmetric Universe, to a new worldwide deal.
The band, formed by brothers Federico Vese & Nicolò Vese, played some select live shows this past summer, including a rapturously received set at Arctangent Festival in the UK. Today the band are pleased to launch a brand new track titled "Opaco", Italian for ‘opaque’, and you can watch the video (directed by Edoardo Giuliani) below.
The band comment: "'Opaco' is the most technically challenging song we have ever composed. It’s inspired by the modern guitar style of bands like Animals As Leaders, Polyphia but with a genre-bending jazz sections inspired by Pat Metheny, Victor Wooten, Jacob Collier. We wanted to set aside the heavy arrangement of the previous song in order to sound like a jazz/metal quartet.”
Watch the video for the band's previous single, "Don’t Go Too Early":
Formed in 2018, with the goal of pushing the limit of modern prog and fusing disparate genres, they combine metal with jazz & ambient music, alongside chamber orchestration. In 2023, the band released their second EP The Sun Would Disappear As I Imagined All The Stars, which was mixed by Forrester Savell and mastered by Ermin Hamidovic. They also embarked on their first European tour as support to Australian progressive metallers Ne Obliviscaris, as well as opening for Caligula’s Horse in Italy.
Both brothers are mostly self-taught musicians, who have been heavily involved in comp
Poland’s pioneering and leading progressive rock band Riverside are proud to announce their definitive line album release, Live ID.. Recorded on June 1st, 2024 at COS Torwar in Warsaw, Live ID. culminates the ID.Entity album cycle with a massive live rendition of 12 songs across over 110 minutes playing time and will be released worldwide via InsideOutMusic on January 24th, 2025.
Riverside’s vocalist/bass-player and main songwriter Mariusz Duda comments about the upcoming live release as follows:
“I would argue that Riverside always come across better in concerts than on studio albums. In fact, it’s only during live performances that our songs gain their full potential. What’s more, some song arrangements are much better in live versions than in studio recordings. There are a lot of nuances, quirks, and, above all, explanations of what Riverside’s music is all about. That’s why Live ID. is not just an ordinary live album. It’s an album that reveals the band’s true identity.”
Live ID. not only contains thrilling performances of songs off Riverside’s latest and much acclaimed 2023 studio album ID.Entity, but also re-visits catalogue favourites in a compelling way, once more stressing the band’s unique stance and relevance within the current progressive music scene.
For a first taste of Live ID., feel free to check out the release’s first single “Landmine Blast (Live ID.)” out now across all digital platforms, or check out the live-clip taken from the live Blu-ray, directed by Paul Green below.

rld of Dutch symphonic metal band Blackbriar's next single release, "Floriography". This piece blends powerful riffs and delicate orchestrations, creating a captivating atmosphere. The lyrics evoke a hidden world where mysterious flowers carry secret messages, revealing Easter eggs throughout the melody.
Zora Cock comments: "'Floriography' marks the start of our upcoming third studio album. It's a song full of mystery, dark academia meets Sherlock Holmes. The song's protagonist deciphers hidden messages from a secret lover through the Victorian language of flowers, cryptic poetry, lyrical acronyms, and marks carved in trees. She may have even left some for you."

To mark the release of the remixed, remastered and extended Queen 1 boxset, the band have released the video below, featuring their performance of "Liar", filmed live at the Rainbow Theatre in London, 1974.
A promo video made for Queen’s first ever single release, "Keep Yourself Alive", has been re-edited and restored. Now complete with the stunning new 2024 mix of the song, this video has been created by returning to the original rushes and producing an entirely new edit. The footage has then been painstakingly restored so it can be shared with fans in all its glory.
The 6CD + 1 LP Queen I box set (out now) contains 63 tracks with 43 brand new mixes, comprising the original album with its intended running order restored, intimate fly-on-the-wall audio of Queen in the studio, demos, rare live tracks, and previously unheard recordings from Queen’s first ever live performance in London, August 1970. Absent from the 1973 release, the song “Mad the Swine” has been reinstated to its original place in the running order. A 108-page book containing handwritten lyrics and memorabilia accompanies the release.
“This is not just a remaster,” writes Brian May in the CD sleeve insert notes, “this is a brand new 2024 rebuild of the entire Queen debut album, which, with the benefit of hindsight, we have re-titled QUEEN I.”
May continues, “All the performances are exactly as they originally appeared in 1973, but every instrument has been revisited to produce the ‘live’ ambient sounds we would have liked to use originally. The result is “Queen“ as it would have sounded with today’s knowledge and technology – a first.”
“Queen I is the debut album we always dreamed of bringing to you.”
Modern rock powerhouse POP EVIL follows its scorching single "What Remains" with new, dark track "Deathwalk", produced by Zach Jones and KJ Strock.
The band shared the cinematic music video, directed by Sam Shapiro. Fans will plunge into the dark, fragmented landscape of lead singer Leigh Kakaty's psyche, unraveling the thin line between self-identity and survival. Kakaty confronts existential questions of his own mortality and legacy.
"We are the accused, the guilty, the damned," the singer says about the harrowing track. "At the end of our 'deathwalk', judgment awaits. Are you at peace with what you will leave behind?"
POP EVIL returned in August by showcasing their new sound with single "What Remains". It was produced by WAGE WAR's Cody Quistad and serves as the dawn of a new era for POP EVIL, which the band promises will be its most sonically heavy. "What Remains" currently sits at No. 8 on the Mainstream Active Rock chart.
The six-time RIAA gold-certified band, plus newly platinum-certified track "Torn To Pieces", is gearing up for its forthcoming eighth studio album, set for release in spring 2025.
POP EVIL are currently finishing up the final dates of the "Animal Instinct" tour with BAD WOLVES. SIERRA PILOT and ONI are serving as support.
The latest addition to the POP EVIL lineup is Blake Allison, who replaced departed member Hayley Cramer on drums, joining Kakaty and fellow bandmates, guitarists Dave Grahs and Nick Fuelling, and bassist Joey "Chicago" Walser.
POP EVIL first rose to international prominence with debut album "Lipstick On The Mirror", featuring RIAA-certified-gold single "100 In A 55". After Kakaty famously tore up the band's major label contract onstage, POP EVIL signed with eOne Music (now MNRK Heavy). 2011's "War Of Angels" debuted in the Top 10 of the Rock Albums chart and produced three Top 10 singles.
The band's 2013 album, "Onyx", put them in the Top 40 of the Billboard 200 for the first time and boasted three consecutive No. 1 rock songs, two RIAA gold singles, and one platinum single "Torn To Pieces". POP EVIL's next release, "Up", was the No. 1 Independent Album in America and made it to No. 25 on the Billboard 200. It featured several Top 5 rock songs and a chart-topper with "Footsteps", which also went gold.
POP EVIL's 2018 self-titled set included the No. 1 hit and newly certified gold single "Waking Lions" and two other Top 10 hits. 2020's "Versatile", meanwhile, scored two No. 1 rock songs: "Breathe Again" and "Survivor". In 2023, the band released its seventh studio album "Skeletons", which spawned their eighth and ninth No. 1 singles: "Eye Of The Storm" and "Skeletons".
Houston's premium occult heavy rock merchants Warlung are set to return with their new album The Poison Touch, to be released on February 14, 2025 through Heavy Psych Sounds. Their brand new single / video, "29th Scroll, 6th Verse", is available below.
"This song is an ode to classic sci-fi, this song warns against the destructiveness of human nature. It’s an interpretation of the Law Giver’s sacred scriptures from The Planet Of The Apes lore," explains the band.
Their upcoming fifth studio release, The Poison Touch, delves deeper into atmosphere, while maintaining the gritty undertone that defines these doom rock specialists. From start to finish, th
