Metal heroines NERVOSA unleash a new single from their upcoming album, Slave Machine, out on April 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. “Ghost Notes” lets loose a storm of heavy, yet easily recognizable riffs, driven by impelling drums and the ever-so-furious vocals of Prika Amaral. Culminating in a powerful guitar solo, “Ghost Notes” shows yet another side of the versatile Brazilian thrash band. Once again working with producer Martin Furia of German legends DESTRUCTION for their upcoming release, the women bridge the gap between old-school power and critical modernity. NERVOSA are ready for a fierce new era!

NERVOSA about “Ghost Notes”:
“Strong and heavy riffs with a lot of groove showing deep feelings in a very poetic way, this song is definitely special in many ways.”

NERVOSA unleashes another round of fury on their new album, Slave Machine, out April 3, 2026 via Napalm Records. Their sixth album shows the Brazilian modern thrash metal band releasing their inner beasts at staggering speed and with formidable emphasis. Having performed at the biggest metal festivals worldwide, from Wacken to Hellfest, and making a lasting impression on fans and critics alike, NERVOSA aims to consolidate their standing as genre frontrunners. With founding guitarist Prika Amaral established as their new singer with their previous record, Jailbreak (2023), they tear through the scene with the force of a sledgehammer.

NERVOSA erupts as a metal volcano with their latest record. Never settling, always exploring, one staggering riff after another, Slave Machine is a crushing statement—it comes, sees, and conquers.

NERVOSA about Slave Machine:
“Slave Machine is the most brutal and melodic album of NERVOSA, and we are proud to take this step further, keeping our roots.”

Twelve new songs show the five-piece exploring their crushing style in an enhanced way. Opening “Impending Doom” builds up menacingly, using thunderous riffs and jagged drums to establish the women’s dominance in the scene. The title track, “Slave Machine”, instantly turns up the speed and adds a surprising alternative bridge to the already catchy chorus, showing a slightly different side of the metal powerhouses. The following “Ghost Notes” unleashes a storm of heavy, yet easily recognizable riffs, driven by impelling drums and the ever-so-furious vocals of Prika Amaral, crowned by an astounding guitar solo. Through “Beast Of Burden”, NERVOSA shows their harshest side, while “You Are Not A Hero” offers a grand chorus, gifting Slave Machine a true anthem. “Hate” unfolds with raw brutality, and “The New Empire” looks for destruction with melodic precision. “30 Seconds” rises up to new heights, while “Crawl For Your Pride” combines NERVOSA’s trademark social criticism with gut-punching songwriting. Throughout “Learn Or Repeat” and “The Call”, the band once again sprinkles in some pieces of modern groove with old-school vibes before Slave Machine rears up one final time on the threateningly sinister “Speak In Fire”.

THE INTEMPERATE SONS Release New Single + Video ‘Sensory Deprivation’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 3, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE INTEMPERATE SONS. Leave a comment

Alt-Rockers, The Intemperate Sons, have released their new track, “Sensory Deprivation,” from their upcoming third studio album, Ephemera, set for release in Spring 2026.

On “Sensory Deprivation,” The Intemperate Sons turn a lucid dream into sound. The track opens in suspended atmosphere — hypnotic, almost weightless — before spiraling into a jagged, distorted drop that hits like waking up mid-fall. It’s tension stretched thin, then snapped. Psychedelic haze collides with grungy abrasion in a slow-building rush toward impact.

Stream/Download “Sensory Deprivation”:

–https://linktr.ee/theintemperatesons

The Intemperate Sons release all their music through the Frame|Work record label at the direction of Amir Derakh and Ryan Shuck. All Intemperate Sons’ tracks are mixed by Amir Derakh at Synthicide in Long Beach, CA.

In the sweltering Dallas summer of 2019, before the onset of a global pandemic, The Intemperate Sons were born from blood, grit, and a shared obsession with the ghosts of alternative rock’s golden age. The Watson family—Keith on drums, Jake on guitars, and Max on vocals, guitars, and keys—joined forces with longtime friend and bassist Mark Marks to create a sound that’s equal parts searing riffs, haunting harmonies, and unapologetic soul. Think Alice in Chains’ brooding intensity, Stone Temple Pilots’ swagger, and R.E.M.’s poetic undercurrent, all filtered through a ‘70s rock haze that refuses to play it safe.

This isn’t just a band; it’s a family affair, where the unspoken bond between father and sons fuels every chord and lyric. Keith, a Dallas stage veteran, pens lyrics that cut deep—tales of regret, resilience, and the chaos of the human condition. Jake’s guitar lines, sharp yet soulful, weave narratives of their own, while Max’s voice carries the weight of a 25-year-old who’s lived a lifetime in his head. Mark, the groove-obsessed bassist, ties it all together.

The Intemperate Sons hit the ground running, catching the ear of rock heavyweights Ryan Shuck and Amir Derakh (Orgy, Dead By Sunrise, Julien-K), who signed them to their Frame|Work label in 2021. Even a global pandemic couldn’t derail their momentum—holed up in The Kitchen Recording Studios, they crafted their debut album, The Color Within (2022), with tracks like “Dust to Dust” and “Running Man” that pulse with raw emotion and retro grit. Collaborations with legends like Tony Franklin (Whitesnake, The Firm) on singles like “Running Man” and “Dust to Dust” and Derakh’s production on singles like “Game of Keep Away” and “Dark Day’s Night” featured on their second and highly successful album, Dark Day’s Night (2024) pushed their sound further, blending post-grunge edge with folk and hard rock undercurrents.

For fans of alternative rock, this band is a throwback and a revelation—a reminder of why you fell in love with the genre’s raw honesty and a promise that its spirit still burns. The Intemperate Sons aren’t chasing trends; they’re carving their own path, one riff, one lyric, one night at a time.performing tracks that scratch deep into the backbone of the human experience. There is no shortage of darkness in their writing style which has a retro vibe with many guitar driven tracks stacked on top of a groovy rhythm section. The heavier style fits perfectly with the two and three-part vocal harmonies that are a huge part of their overall sound. It has been said that musicians that are related form unique sounds and communicate on a frequency only they can understand. This frequency has become engrained in their songwriting, arrangements, guitar melodies and vocal harmonies. The band has been compared to Alice in Chains, Stone Temple Pilots, and even R.E.M.

Next The Intemperate Sons Show Date:

Friday MAY 15 @ Whisky A Go Go in West Hollywood, CA w/ Gene Loves Gezebel, Vanta After Dark

The Intemperate Sons are:
Max Watson (vocals, backing vocals, guitars, keys, bass)
Jake Watson (guitars, bass and backing vocals)
Keith Watson (drums, backing vocals)
Mark Marks (bass)

MR. JACK to Release New Album “Destiny and Hope” on March 30th, Feat. Distinguished Guests

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 3, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: MR. JACK. Leave a comment

March 30, 2026 marks the official release of “Destiny and Hope”, the new and ambitious album by MR. JACK, released through Wanikiya Record / Promotion.

A powerful, intense and deeply identity-driven work that blends rock, melodic metal, symphonic atmospheres and emotional songwriting capable of merging introspection with sonic impact.

“Destiny and Hope” is not simply an album:
it is an artistic manifesto, a declaration of vision, a journey through the dualism between destiny and hope, between the trials imposed by life and the strength to react, transform and be reborn.

THE CONCEPT

The title encapsulates the essence of the work:

Destiny represents what seems written, inevitable, the challenges life imposes.
Hope is the conscious choice not to give up, to transform pain into energy, to react with strength and faith.

The entire album revolves around this balance between shadow and light, between fall and redemption, alternating epic tracks, introspective moments and pure rock energy.

THE LEAD SINGLE: “SPIRIT OF HEAVEN”

The emotional core of the album is “Spirit of Heaven”, chosen as the official single.

An intense and spiritual power ballad dedicated to the artist’s father. The song addresses the theme of loss by transforming it into a dialogue between earth and heaven, between physical absence and inner presence.

The solemn melody, the growing arrangement and the deep vocal performance make “Spirit of Heaven” one of the most touching moments of the entire project.

Originally released in March 2024, the track received important international recognition:

• Nomination for “Single of the Year” at the ELITE MUSIC AWARD
• Finalist at the World Songwriting Awards (USA)
• ISSA (International Singer-Songwriters Association) Certification

A piece that perfectly represents the soul of “Destiny and Hope”.

IRON MAIDEN Announce Final 2026 Live Dates Ahead of Major Touring Break Until 2028

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 3, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Iron Maiden. Leave a comment

Iron Maiden have now set an end point for the Run For Your Lives World Tour. The band has released the final tour dates for 2026, and bassist Steve Harris shared his excitement:

“We are very excited to be bringing this Run For Your Lives World Tour to Japan later this year. And even more so as we are ending the entire two year world tour in Yokohama. I have always loved spending time in Japan, and we enjoy coming back whenever we can to play for our fans there. So it feels extra special for us to be sharing the final two nights of this incredible tour with you all in Japan. It’s going to make it a truly memorable occasion for us all.”

However, Iron Maiden will still play a wide range of shows across Europe this year, including several festivals and stadium concerts. In contrast, 2027 will be much quieter for the British icons. A statement on their website reads:

“These two shows will be extra special as they are the very last shows the band will play until at least 2028, as they take a well-earned break from being on the road for the whole of 2027.”

URLUK Announce New Album “Memories in Fade”, Out April 10th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 3, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: URLUK. Leave a comment

Italy’s URLUK will release their highly anticipated second full-length album, “Memories in Fade”, on April 10, 2026, via Pest Records. Following the atmospheric and introspective journey of their previous works, this new record marks a clear evolution in the band’s sound, embracing a more sinuous and emotionally driven approach.

“Memories in Fade” expands the band’s black-doom foundation with layers of ’90s alternative rock, ambient textures and neo-folk influences, creating a complex yet cohesive sonic narrative. Unlike conventional song structures, the album seeks a storytelling quality, where each track contributes to a broader, immersive experience while remaining grounded in the project’s artistic identity.

Throughout the album, clean vocals and intense screaming alternate, complementing a diverse palette of riffs that shift from melancholic and brooding to sharp and dynamic. The mood is consistently dark and enveloping, reflecting both personal introspection and the uncertainties of contemporary life. The result is a record that feels cinematic in scope, balancing heaviness and subtlety in equal measure.

Recorded with meticulous attention to atmosphere and texture, “Memories in Fade” represents URLUK’s ongoing exploration of emotional depth within extreme metal. The band continues to intertwine local identity, narrative sensibility, and musical experimentation, offering listeners a journey that is both intimate and expansive.

The first single “Angles of Hauntology” is now streaming HERE.

Tracklist:

01. Angles of Hauntology
02. Lying There
03. Yesterday’s Letters
04. Liminal Vortices
05. The Last Watch

URLUK was formed in July 2020 in Lombardy, Italy. The band’s name refers to a nocturnal bird of prey native to the region, reflecting a strong connection to its territory, an element also expressed visually through booklet photographs taken by the members themselves. Their sound, defined as black doom melancholic metal, merges black metal and doom into a dark and melancholic sonic landscape.

The lineup has remained unchanged since the beginning: M. (screaming and clean vocals, drums; formerly in Black Oath 2006–2010) and U. (clean vocals, guitars, bass, and lyrics), ensuring a coherent and recognizable identity.

The debut EP, “Loss” (2022), released via Black Mass Prayer and later reissued by Depressive Illusion Records, explores the theme of loss as a condition of profound human vulnerability.

The first full-length album, “More” (2023), released by Remparts Productions, represents a natural evolution. Conceptually centered on melancholy as the enduring aftermath of loss, the album expands the band’s sound, from ’90s black metal and doom to ambient and subtle folk influences, while featuring guest contributions from Carlo Altobelli (Vision Deprived, Camposanto, ex-Moral Values), Giovanni (Mindful of Pripyat, Corporal Raid, Henoa), and Luxitan (ex-Gosforth).

Work on a new album began at the end of 2023. Conceived as a sonic journey through memory and dreamlike dimensions, the record blends ’90s alternative rock, ambient, hauntology, neo-folk, and black metal within a vision described as ALT B/L/A/C/K/. Recorded at Orion Recording Studios between 2025 and early 2026, and featuring Francesco Cucinotta (Felis Catus, Sinoath), the album marks a further step in the band’s ongoing artistic evolution.
