TEAZE, the iconic Canadian rock band, is back and stronger than ever, ready to captivate audiences on major stages worldwide. Known for their explosive sound and electrifying live shows, the band continues to build on a legacy that stretches back to the mid-1970s while proving that their best days are far from behind.

Formed in Windsor, Ontario, in 1975 by bassist and vocalist Brian Danter, guitarists Mark Bradac and Chuck Price, and drummer Mike Kozak, Teaze quickly earned a reputation for their high-energy live performances and powerful melodic hard rock sound. Their early albums produced fan favorites like “Rockin’ With The Music”, “Boys Night Out,” and “Sweet Misery,” helping the band build a loyal following in Canada, Europe, and Japan.

Now, decades later, Teaze is experiencing a resurgence. Recent live performances have drawn enthusiastic crowds, including sold out shows in their hometown region and memorable appearances alongside legendary acts. The band’s chemistry, musicianship, and passion remain undeniable, connecting longtime fans with a whole new generation of rock audiences. 

The next chapter for Teaze arrives with their highly anticipated new album, Rev Your Engines. The album captures everything fans love about Teaze, soaring vocals, huge guitar riffs, memorable hooks, and the unmistakable energy that has always defined the band. At the same time, it introduces a fresh, modern edge that proves Teaze is not simply reliving the past but pushing forward with purpose and confidence. They just dropped their new single “Man of Vision” and as founding member Bradac comments, “Man Of Vision is a powerful rock anthem in the grand tradition of Teaze classics like “Heartless World & Touch The Wind”.  MOV speaks of a righteous person living in a world of chaos, facing uncertainty, searching for truth, and rising above all fear.”

Rev Your Engines is everything Teaze has always been about, big guitars, powerful vocals, great songs, and that same energy that made people fall in love with the band in the first place,” says the band. “We’re proud of where we came from, but this album proves we’re not living in the past. This is Teaze, right now, louder and stronger than ever.”

As Teaze continues to perform live and prepare for the release of Rev Your Engines, the band is proving once again why they remain one of Canada’s most enduring and exciting rock acts.”

US Funeral Doom Act SUTRATMA to Release Vinyl Edition of “Adrift” on May 15th

Aesthetic Death will release the vinyl edition of “Adrift”, the latest album by US funeral doom metal band SUTRATMA, on May 15, 2026.

Originally issued on CD in late 2025, “Adrift” now receives its long-awaited LP version, offering a fully realized physical counterpart to the band’s nautical-themed, melodic funeral doom opus. The album expands on SUTRATMA’s established sound, combining crushing weight and slow-burning atmospheres with a more pronounced sense of melody and dynamic depth.

Marking the band’s fifth full-length, “Adrift” also represents a period of transition and renewal within SUTRATMA’s ranks. The record introduces new members while refining the group’s compositional approach, particularly in its vocal arrangements and textural layering.

The band comments:

“‘Adrift’ is the 5th Sutratma album, and whilst somewhat of a transitional album for the band, everything with the album turned out remarkably well. Founding member Adi and longtime drummer Kevin Torres welcomed new members Danial Larios to take over growl vocals and second guitar, along with Dave Sanders for bass duties. On this record we started to incorporate more elements of clean singing to blend with the low growls we’ve used since our beginnings. With a stable line up and newly constructed studio, we got to writing and self recording in 2024 and 2025, with everyone contributing to both the music and lyrics. There was more attention on the vocal arrangements, with those elegant clean passages finding their way easily into songs, weaving between the heavy melodies, and dirge riffs. Adrift became a serene funeral doom album of texture and ethereal light – forming an album we hadn’t anticipated, but are very proud of.”

With its layered interplay between ethereal passages and monolithic heaviness, “Adrift” stands as a distinctive entry in the contemporary funeral doom landscape, balancing solemn intensity with an unexpected sense of openness and light.

The vinyl release via Aesthetic Death offers a renewed opportunity to experience the album in its most immersive and fitting format.

Today, rock icon JOHN CORABI is proud to release his long-awaited solo debut, ‘New Day,’ out now via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the release, JOHN also shares his new single “1969,” alongside an official music video, available below.

On the new track “1969,” JOHN comments:

“‘1969’ is a great song inspired by the current situations in America, which made me think of another turbulent time in the 60’s-70’s…The riff throughout is compliments of Stevie D (from Buckcherry) and inspired by one of my favorite bands Creedence Clearwater Revival.” 

‘New Day’ marks JOHN CORABI’s first full-length solo album of original material. Recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by multi-platinum songwriter and producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Buckcherry), the album fuses classic ’70s rock, soul, and blues influences into a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

The record features the previously released singles “Così Bella (So Beautiful)” (2021) and “Your Own Worst Enemy” (2022), now presented as part of a rich collection of tracks that spotlight his commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the album, CORABI is joined by Marti Frederiksen, who adds backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen on drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming; Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses) on lead guitar; Paul Taylor (Winger, Steve Perry) contributing piano, organ, and clavinet, as well as Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) offering guitar solos. Together, they create an organic, instrument-driven sound built on real performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.

More than just a solo debut, ‘New Day’ serves as CORABI’s personal testament to rock’s enduring spirit—an exploration of melody, soul, and authenticity, played with passion and conviction at every turn.

JOHN shares:

“I’m very excited for everybody to hear this new collection of songs! I wanted to put together an album of eclectic, organic songs that are reminiscent of the music I grew up listening to, and I truly believe the mission was accomplished! This is a 60’s-70’s sounding classic rock and roll record…Turn it up, and enjoy!!!”

DHARMA GUNS Pour Gasoline on Flaming Map of Action Rock with Second Album “Nightmares and Broken Dreams”

Helsinki-based dandy punk band Dharma Guns return with their scorching second album, declaring themselves the kings of action rock and delivering a dark, feverish take on the state of the world. Nightmares and Broken Dreams will be released on April 24, 2026. 

The album was released not only on digital platforms, but also on vinyl and CD.

Dharma Guns planted their flag firmly on the flaming map of action rock with their debut album Ex-Generation Superstars, which tackled generational divides. The new album turns its focus to the legacy we leave for future generations.

The sheer joy of rock ’n’ roll runs deep in the band’s DNA. It sparks throughout the album, and tracks like “King of Action Rock” kick the engine into overdrive.

“Writing ‘Shock O’clock’ marked the beginning of Nightmares and Broken Dreams. The lyrical world of the song set the tone for the entire album, and the guitar riff carries a hint of Nirvana. There’s something delicious about opening the record with the most hopeless track, featuring the line ‘we’ve had our chance / humankind won’t last’,” says vocalist-guitarist Pete, and continues: “But so it’s not all despair, the closing track ‘The Voice of the Underdogs’ carries a glimmer of hope and a message for humanity: be fucking kind.”

Dharma Guns have refined their rock ’n’ roll into a distinctive sound, carrying forward the legacy of bands like MC5, The Hellacopters and The Lords of the New Church. The second album is a tight, focused statement from the very heart of action rock. Song titles like “Devil’s Beat”, “Fear of Getting Bored” and “Clowns in the Castles” set the tone, but the band also explores new shades: “Bruised Body and a Broken Knee” leans heavily into blues, while “Black Cloud” even features acoustic guitars.

“‘Black Cloud’ is our grunge ballad. It’s a slowly building ode to a planet struggling with the climate crisis and denialism. It could have been born on the rainy streets of Seattle in the early ’90s. Our drummer Olli even calls it our ‘Stairway to Heaven’. And the recording process got emotional too — during mixing we were on the verge of falling apart over a single shaker. Some wanted it gone, others insisted it had to stay. In the end, everyone won: we re-recorded it and kept it in,” Pete laughs.

“‘Bruised Body and a Broken Knee’ was written while I was recovering from knee surgery last year. At its core, it deals with our relationship to the physical body — a temple of love for some, a temple of doom for others. The chorus swings like a drunken schlager band playing Tom Waits,” Pete describes.

The album has been preceded by the singles “King of Action Rock”, “Devil’s Beat”, “Scale of the Universe” and “The Voice of the Underdogs”. Dharma Guns’ debut album Ex-Generation Superstars was released in 2024.

Following the release, Dharma Guns will head out on a UK tour with glam punk legend Steve Vincent. The two will also share the stage in Helsinki and Turku at Dharma Guns’ album release shows.

SULPHUR AND MERCURY – Feat. Misery Index’s Jason Netherton – Reveal New Single ‘Sulphur Eternal’

Traditional heavy metal force SULPHUR AND MERCURY unveil their new single “Sulphur Eternal”, marking another step forward in the band’s evolving path.

Built upon their unmistakable foundation of occult-tinged classic metal, the track carries a renewed sense of purpose, shaped by the band’s reconfigured line-up and a sharpened creative direction.

“Sulphur Eternal” blends brooding atmospheres with riff-driven intensity, drawing from the spirit of late ’80s heavy metal while forging a distinct identity. The result is a dark, immersive composition that balances melody, weight, and arcane mood, reaffirming SULPHUR AND MERCURY as a compelling force for those drawn to the more esoteric side of traditional metal.

The band comments:

“‘Sulphur Eternal’ is our anthem – an unabashed affirmation of our dedication to the trade and task of sonic metallurgy. We wanted to make a triumphant ode to the classics of metal’s yesteryear, but also a song we could call ‘our own’ – a battle cry of sorts. Melodic passages and exultant choruses combine to make it an instant call to arms. ‘Under the fist of Mercury, the sulphur legions unite!”.

As time-travellers from 1987… SULPHUR AND MERCURY have arrived.

Born in the Cerverteri Necropolis under the blood moon of the Italian summer solstice, SULPHUR AND MERCURY forge haunted dirges of occultic heavy metal from the fires of its glorious past. Elements of Frostian apocalyptic doom are summoned and collide with the melodic instincts of the NWOBHM, manifesting caustic anthems to the arcane arts.

The group came together in 2021, when guitarist Francesco Conte and vocalist Jason Netherton bonded over their shared affinity for the darker incantations of 1980s heavy metal, along the lines of Mercyful Fate, Celtic Frost, Satan and Sabbat (UK). The pair were later joined by drummer Dario Casabona and bassist Marco Mastrobuono, after which they commenced to songwriting and then recording in 2022. Like soothsayers channelling the spirit of ‘87 (a year pivotal for both Conte and Netherton in their metal edification), the band explicitly invoke the ghosts of metal’s past, in order to hammer it into a distinctly modern vision.

The outcome is the 6 track EP “Alchemia Prophetica”. Featuring 4 original songs and a cover of Satan’s demo-era anthem “Heads Will Roll”, the EP stands as an ode to the glory of heavy metal’s yesteryear in the form of haunting anthems to the unknown and otherworldly.

Following its release, the group relocated to Finland, carrying their arcane craft to new northern frontiers. With vocalist Jason Netherton long established in Helsinki and guitarist Francesco Conte now permanently based there, the band’s line-up has become predominantly Finnish, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its esoteric journey.
