AEGROR Present New Lyric Video for ‘Rapist of Minds’

German extreme metal band Aegror have released the lyric video for “Rapist of Minds”, a track taken from their acclaimed album Reign of Disease.

Rooted in Aegror’s long-running Plaguebreeder Universe, “Rapist of Minds” explores psychological manipulation and the destruction of free will. Through torture and experimentation, a ruthless figure turns broken minds into obedient puppets, building an army for a greater force. As his plans unfold, the track reveals how the abuse of control can ultimately consume the one who wields it.

Reign of Disease

Rooted in Aegror’s Plaguebreeder Universe, Reign of Disease follows an interdimensional entity whose influence spreads through disease, fear, and psychological decay — exploring how control, paranoia, and systemic collapse corrupt both mind and body.

Musically, the album pushes Aegror beyond conventional extreme metal: relentless aggression meets haunting melody, progressive songwriting, and atmospheric depth. Crushing riffs and blast beats sit alongside melancholic, introspective passages, with each track serving the larger narrative while standing on its own.

About Aegror / Universe of the Plaguebreeder

Aegror is an extreme metal band from Kerken, Germany, founded in 2009.
The name is derived from the Latin word for “disease.”
Aegror is a conceptual artistic project combining music, storytelling, and visual identity into a dark, immersive universe.

Their sound blends atmospheric black metal with progressive and melodic elements, exploring themes of disease, psychological extremities, and real-world crises. At the center of this concept stands the Plaguebreeder — an interdimensional entity attempting to enter the human world, brought to life both in the lyrics and on stage, turning live performances into intense, narrative-driven experiences.
Since their debut, De Morbis (2010), Aegror i has continuously evolved its sound and storytelling. Forgotten Tales (2013) and Dead Man’s Diary (2017) further refined their progressive direction and conceptual depth.

After lineup changes, founding vocalist Narthaas and guitarist Abyssus continued as the band’s creative core. Their third studio album, Reign of Disease, marks a new milestone. The album received critical acclaim and achieved international chart placements, highlighting the band’s growing presence beyond the European underground. Aegror continues to push its vision forward.

LEE AARON to Release New Album “Re-Vamp” on January 22nd

The internationally known, multi-platinum-selling singer, songwriter and producer will drop “Re-Vamp”, her 20th album worldwide via Metalville.

“Re-Vamp” is a powerful overview of the very best of Aaron’s music to date, featuring 8 modern re-records of classic tracks (including “Metal Queen” and “Whatcha Do to my Body”) and 4 brand new songs – mixed to kick-ass perfection at the hands of Juno Award winner Ben Kaplan (Mother Mother, Biffy Clyro, Kittie).

“Fight Like a Girl,” the NEW lead single, hits hard: a modern-day rock anthem about standing up for oneself. “I’m a lion wearing heels, a butterfly made of steel,” Aaron challenges the notion that women are the weaker sex, asserting that determination and attitude are one’s greatest strengths.

Lee started her career at 19 with the Lee Aaron Project, but it was her 1984 sophomore release Metal Queen that cemented her as a trailblazer for women in rock internationally. In 2023, she was inducted into Canada’s Walk of Fame, recognized as one of the seminal female hard-rockers. Her fiery voice and fearless creativity helped break down barriers for women in the genre. Female empowerment and rising above adversity are recurring themes throughout her work.

CHART Magazine declared Aaron’s BodyRock one of the 20 most influential albums of the 1980s with its impact on the next generation of female rockers – undeniable.

She’s shared stages with Heart, Bon Jovi, Joan Jett, Suzi Quatro, Sinead O’Connor, Iron Maiden, Guns N’ Roses, Mötley Crüe, Van Morrison… and has also performed at some of the world’s biggest festivals: Wacken, Sweden Rock, Reading, Montreal Jazz, Heavy Sound Belgium, and many others.

Her accolades include 10 JUNO nominations, a CMPA Songwriters Award, 3 Toronto Music Awards, a MUCH MUSIC Award, and a star on The Brampton Arts Walk of Fame in her former hometown.

Lee will be touring again in 2027 with her band of A-list musicians, bringing her invincible voice, timeless energy, and vibrant stage presence to venues around the globe.

Re-Vamp is for fans who have been rocking with Lee Aaron throughout her legendary career and a chance for new listeners to dive into her world.

SERAINA TELLI Releases New Single And Video ‘Chameleon’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 3, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

SERAINA TELLI releases her new single and video ‘Chameleon’.

There are people who seem to know exactly who they are. And then there are the others. Those who are trying things out. Who ruffle feathers. Who switch roles. Who constantly reinvent themselves, and are somehow restless.

SERAINA TELLI knows this feeling.

Her new single, “Chameleon” tells the story of trying to live up to other people’s expectations and, in the process, eventually losing touch with oneself. A theme that could hardly be more personal. Because before you learn to be true to yourself, you often try the opposite first. 

“I changed myself a thousand times. Didn’t know how to be mine.”

The song begins where self-doubt arises: with the question of who one is actually supposed to be; with the constant adapting, pretending and comparing. But “Chameleon” turns this perspective on its head: what if it’s perfectly fine to change your colour?

It doesn’t have to be a bad thing not to know from an early age exactly how to do everything. There are people who are simply chameleons: they try things out, change, move on and keep discovering new sides to themselves. Not because they don’t know who they are – but because they’re curious and know they don’t have to be just one colour. And isn’t that exactly what makes this creature so unique?

“Chameleon” is about taking the liberty to change. To be weird. To stay curious. And to go your own way – even if not everyone understands it.

At its heart lies a realisation that sounds simpler than it is:

“I’m already good at being me.”

Musically, Seraina Telli blends the song’s vulnerable mood with her unmistakable mix of rock and glam-pop, catchy melodies and emotional directness. The song evolves from a reflective stock-taking into a liberating statement with the kind of conviction that comes from finally listening to your own voice. 

Ever since her chart-topping albums “Simple Talk”, “Addicted To Colour” and “GREEN”, Seraina Telli has repeatedly explored themes such as self-determination, courage and personal freedom. With “Chameleon”, she continues this thread – this time with a declaration of love to all those who aren’t just one colour. To all those who are searching, changing, growing, rediscovering themselves and perhaps finding their home precisely in that process.

Because perhaps ‘home’ isn’t a fixed place. And perhaps identity isn’t something you find once and then never change again. Perhaps ‘home’ is sometimes simply wherever you want to be at that moment.

Former HADES/Current PATRIARCHS IN BLACK Songwriter DAN LORENZO Hosts on Ozzy’s Boneyard

The founding member of HADES and NON-FICTION Dan Lorenzo hosted Ultimate Sinner yesterday, on November 2nd on Ozzy’s Boneyard on Sirius/XM.

Lorenzo who is now in the project PATRIARCHS IN BLACK with former TYPE O NEGATIVE and current QUIET RIOT drummer Johnny Kelly spun songs and talked about some of his favorite bands including AC/DC, Aerosmith, Black Sabbath and Kiss.

Patriarchs In Black are set to release their 6th album in 5 years on January 8th 2027 on Germany’s MetalVille Records.

“My wife and I just got home from an amazing trip to Denver and Aspen Colorado and one of the few things I love as much as traveling is having the opportunity to pick some of my favorite songs and gab a bit about my favorite bands. I’ll be 64 in January and still feel like a kid on Christmas morning getting on Ozzy’s Boneyard. Plus this Thursday November 5th Patriarchs In Black release our 2nd single Spoiler Alert from our 6th album. I would never have imagined life being this great at 63 when it feels like not that long ago my old band NON-FICTION once ended a tour in Denver and we had no money for a hotel and drove home 36 hours to NJ without a hotel. No tour bus, just a van. That was 1992. Life DOES get better!”

JAMES KENNEDY AND THE UNDERDOGS to Release New Album “Rebel” on 30th November

South Wales hard-rockers James Kennedy and The Underdogs will release their brand new album ‘Rebel’ on November 30th through Konic Records. It follows their powerful debut album ‘Make Anger Great Again’ and includes the singles ‘Us and Them’, ‘Shadows’, ‘Kill the Machines’ and ‘Revolution’ which features guest vocals from Skindred’s Benji Webbe.

Much like the bands’ live shows, the album is a high energy, punky, rip-roaring rebellious rally against the state of the world right now with abrasive riffs, street chants, pounding drums and songs about pirates, police, billionaires and psychopaths.

Singer James Kennedy says that the whole album was inspired by the writings of the famous French writer and existentialist thinker, Albert Camus. “I’m a huge Camus nerd and his philosophy of rebellion both politically and against the absurdity of the human condition speaks to me on every level. Mixing the message of a high-culture figure like Camus with the gritty urgency of punk rock makes me happy”

The literary interest makes sense as Kennedy is also a 2x published author, including his #1 best selling autobiography ‘Noise Damage’ which Sirius XM host Eric Alper described as “easily one of the greatest books ever written about music and being in a band”.

Musically, ‘Rebel’ takes the hard rock swagger of its predecessor and dials it up another ten notches. It’s faster, more urgent and rougher around the edges. Guitarist Jack Davies adds: “It was recorded the old-school way. Battered guitar pedals scattered everywhere, straight into an old beaten up amp, gear you can actually get your hands on, two takes and onto the next. No scrolling through digital menus and absolutely NO AI”

The album was mixed and mastered by long time Kennedy collaborator, Jeff Rose who has also worked with Bullet for My Valentine and Kennedy’s former band, Kyshera.

Tracklist:
System Breakdown
Skulls and Bones
Revolution featuring Benji Webbe
Shadows
Us and Them
The Rebel
Bad Apples
Kill the Machines
She’s a Riot

Preorder the album here: https://www.jameskennedyofficial.com/rebel

James Kennedy and The Underdogs are an alternative rock / punk band from Newport, South Wales, formed in 2023 by singer, author, podcaster and former Kyshera frontman, James Kennedy. The band includes Jack Davies on guitar, Elliot Blake on bass, and Aggy Nowicka on drums, all former and current members of the bands Kane’d, Catalysts, and Ravenbreed.

In their mere three years as a band they have already earned a reputation for their anarchic and high-energy live shows, described by the Moshville Times as “pure rock ‘n’ roll energy” and as “Wales’ most vital live act” by Uber Rock.

‘Rebel’ is set for release in November 2026 via Konic Records and will be available on all streaming platforms with vinyl and CD editions available from the band’s online store at: https://jameskennedystuff.bandcamp.com / https://www.jameskennedyofficial.com/rebel

PRONG Unleash Explosive New Single + Static Video ‘New Commission’

New York’s alternative metal legends PRONG are back — and with their triumphant Napalm Records debut. Pummeling, punishing, and unrelenting, New York’s alternative metal legends return with “New Commission”, a cataclysmic thrash rager. Built upon machine-gun kicks, discordant riffage, and frontman Tommy Victor’s venomous barks, this one is bound to kick pitgoers back a few reading levels once it hits the stage. With their boundary-pushing fusion of classic New York Hardcore, infectious grooves, and industrial textures, PRONG reaffirms why they are not just the model, but still the standard.

About “No Commission,” Tommy states:
“This is a barn burner, banger thrasher of a song with a huge hook and a ferocious breakdown. It’s got it all!”

The master of the groove riff is back—and showcasing his versatility.
Prong sounds crisp, powerful, and refreshingly straightforward.
Anyone who loves sharp, punchy riffs will find plenty to enjoy here.
Metal Hammer  – DE

We are talking about world-class songwriting and an ideal fusion of elements from the great 90s classics with fresh, new ideas.
this deserves the highest possible rating. A future classic!
Legacy  – DE

As the band’s mission statement, Prong incorporates the well of styles their legacy is built on. Blistering thrash sections open into lush choruses on the opening anthem “The Banner”, before somehow pushing the intensity even further on “New Commission”. “The Uprising” reintroduces the band’s industrial edge, weaponizing textured synths over a pulsating two-step, before “Uncertain Truth” flexes its melodic chops, offering a transcendently sweet hook. Immediately, the band dropkicks listeners in the chest with the pummeling “Fear The Sun,” inciting classic New York Hardcore pit violence. Iconic vocalist and guitarist Tommy Victor’s chops come out in full swing on “Proportionate Response”, a smoldering incitement of retaliatory justice, before the blistering kicks of “Simulated Drowning” propel us forward. Album closer “Our Continuance” brings things to a cataclysmic close with its menacingly methodical pulse and pummelingly discordant breakdowns, tied together with a lush chorus amplified with swelling synth textures.

Mixed and mastered by Andy Sneap, the album sounds crisp and punchy; Victor’s biting lyrics are confrontational and infiltrating, driving listeners to contemplate complex matters like the validity of truth, self-inhibitors, and altruism. Dynamically bold, ideologically driven, and melodically infectious, Prong honors their legacy, reminding us why the band has had such a successful longevity.

Prong Tracklist:
1             The Banner
2             New Commission
3             The Uprising
4             Uncertain Truth
5             Fear The Sun
