LYNCH MOB, the band led by former DOKKEN guitar legend George Lynch, will release its ninth and final full-length studio album, "Dancing With The Devil", on November 28, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl, marking the final chapter in the group's storied career.

To mark the announcement, the band share the title track, along with an official visualizer, available below.

George Lynch commented: "All the other records of done in my life led me to this one. 'Dancing With With The Devil' is pretty much my magnum opus and swan song."

The album follows the success of their previous effort "Babylon" and showcases elements of classic LYNCH MOB with a modern edge, fusing hard rock, blues, and soulful grooves with an unmistakable passion and energy.

"We've always been about pushing boundaries and staying true to the fans", said Lynch, the band's founding member. "This new album is a reflection of where we are now, both as individuals and as a band. We've taken everything we've learned over the years and poured it into these songs."

With "Dancing With The Devil", Lynch and his band LYNCH MOB deliver a bold and uncompromising last word, a completion of the musical legacy, closing the curtain on a storied chapter in American hard rock history. This album marks the band's definitive farewell, following the conclusion of all touring and live activity — a fitting final act from a group whose impact on the genre has been both lasting and influential.

Sonically, "Dancing With The Devil" revisits the classic LYNCH MOB sound: a potent mix of blues-based hard rock, razor-sharp guitar work, and soulful vocals, delivered with the swagger and confidence of a band that has nothing left to prove. Fans of the early "Wicked Sensation" era will find familiar fire here — but with a modern edge that reflects decades of evolution and road-tested chemistry.

Reuniting the same lineup that lit up 2023's "Babylon" — vocalist Gabriel Colón, bassist Jaron Gulino, drummer Jimmy D'Anda and Lynch himself — this final studio effort captures the chemistry of a band playing at full force.

Together, they've crafted a collection that balances raw intensity with veteran finesse, all under the expert guidance of producer and mixing engineer Chris Collier (known for his work with KXM, PRONG, JOEL HOEKSTRA'S 13). Collier's production brings clarity and punch, allowing the band's dynamic interplay and Lynch's signature tone to shine through every track.

As a special bonus for European fans, this edition of the album includes the exclusive track "Somewhere", not available on the U.S. version — a parting gift to a fanbase that has supported the band throughout their journey.

"Dancing With The Devil" isn't just another release — it's a farewell with force, a record that honors the past while asserting the band's place in rock history one final time. For LYNCH MOB, the devil may have had the last dance... but they set the floor on fire.

LYNCH MOB was formed in 1989 after Lynch parted ways with his former band DOKKEN. Their debut release, "Wicked Sensation", was met with critical and fan acclaim and went on to be certified gold in sales by the RIAA. The band would continue on through the years with a cast of talented players joining Lynch throughout their musical journey over the course of seven more studio albums.

In August 2020, Lynch announced that he was ending LYNCH MOB due to the racial insensitivity of the moniker, saying he would no longer record or perform under that name. Two years later, George had a change of heart, explaining that he had to "live with the fact that [the name LYNCH MOB] has some negative connotations that I probably have to continue explaining for the rest of my life, and I don't mind doing that. But it is a brand that I built, and I'm just gonna stick with it. As far as a marketing thing and a brand thing and a business thing and a working thing, and it keeps my band guys working and it keeps the fans happy, it makes sense."

Today, guitar powerhouse, Jared James Nichols, is proud to release his new single, “Ghost,” marking his first new music since recently signing with Frontiers Music Srl. The new track arrives accompanied by an official lyric video, available to view below.

In addition, Jared James Nichols will be embarking on his European and UK headline tour starting November 5 in Valencia, Spain, at Loco Club and concluding December 6 in London, UK at The Underworld.



On the new single, Jared James Nichols comments: “‘Ghost’ was written with a very good friend of mine, Grammy-winning producer and epic guitarist Tyler Bryant. We have a synergy whenever we get together; it’s infectious, and things happen quickly. Tyler jumped behind the drums, and I started jamming the verse groove with the guitar. Within minutes, we had carved out the entire bones of the song in an old-school way of a jam.

“Lyrically speaking. ‘Ghost’ is something we can all relate to. It’s all about trying to live up to the voices inside your head, staying away from the insecurities and fear we all have running in our minds. It is about facing your fears, accepting the mind wars, and ultimately conquering them.”

He continues, “‘Ghost’ was recorded with super producer Jay Ruston at Dave Grohl’s 606 Studios in Los Angeles, California. Working with Jay is like breathing air; things come out so naturally and fresh. We share a common vision that is always hard to find when working with a producer. We put a lot of trust in each other, which means we care about nothing less than what is best for the song. As a band, our adrenaline was pumping…! Recording this song at such a legendary studio really sparked the fire and energy that you hear in the track.”

oday, Tampa-based hardcore thrashers, Cold Steel, are proud to unleash their new single, “Smoking Mirrors” (ft. Two-Piece), taken from their upcoming debut album, Discipline & Punish. Produced by Arthur Rizk (Power Trip, Blood Incantation), the new full-length will be out on November 7 via Spinefarm. The new track arrives accompanied by a music video, available to view below.



On “Smoking Mirrors” (ft. Two-Piece) Cold Steel comments: “Our goal with ‘Smoking Mirrors’ (ft. Two-Piece) was to create an uncompromising track that stood apart from the rest of the album. We incorporated elements of hip hop and collaborated with our good friend Dusty from Two-Piece. Nothing stands in the way of this track. It’s a calculated, aggressive, unrelenting tale of vengeance and the thousand-yard stare toward retribution.”



Cold Steel’s patented brand of aggressive, hardcore thrash metal takes no prisoners on Discipline & Punish, the band’s full-length debut for Spinefarm. To bring the album to life, the group decamped to Philadelphia and teamed with producer Arthur Rizk (Blood Incantation, Power Trip, Cavalera). In the studio, they drew on influences like Metallica, Machine Head, and Slipknot while sharpening and solidifying their own signature sound.

On the production/mixing of Discipline & Punish and working with Cold Steel, Arthur Rizk comments: “Working with Cold Steel was a lot of fun, mainly because of their attitude towards making the record. They were fully immersed and willing to go down every avenue until something memorable was achieved. Getting to collaborate with Matt Heafy was a killer experience for everyone, as he encouraged and helped with a lot of decisions. Coming from a super successful artist, that kind of validation kept the process powerful.”

Trivium’s Matt Heafy, who contributed to pre-production and arrangements while advising the band, exclaims: “Cold Steel are a band who could change the face and sound of heavy music. Their sound defies barriers: metal kids like them, punk kids like them, hardcore kids like them. They live authentically and unapologetically in their own world and are ready to show the masses what they do best – and that’s being themselves. Get into Cold Steel if you haven’t… now.”
