NARGAROTH Announce New Album “Apocalyptic Steel”, Video for Lead Single ‘Requiem Germania’ Out Now

Nargaroth are announcing their upcoming eighth album. Apocalyptic Steel is the German black metal firebrands at their most uncompromising. These nine songs are forged from pure black metal furry in the attitude of Judas Priest, Accept, Deicide and Obituary.

Apocalyptic Steel comes out June 26th on Season of Mist: Underground Activists.

Watch the official video for lead single “Requiem Germania”:

Written entirely in German, “Requiem Germania” stands apart from the rest of Apocalyptic Steel in both language and register. Where the album is built on the direct, unadorned attitude of old-school metal, its lead single moves through a slower, more interior space, its weight carried by the accumulated grief of someone who left and cannot cleanly return. The lyrics draw on imagery of harvest fields, ancestral graves and the pull of rivers to frame a condition that has grown more acute rather than fading with time.

The song addresses homesickness not as a temporary state but as something that calcifies with distance. Nargaroth frontman Ash left Germany, his family and his home more than a decade ago. The longer the separation, the more insistently the roots assert themselves. The track sits in the tension between that pull and the practical difficulty of return, shaped by resentment and a world that has changed in his absence.

The official video for “Requiem Germania” was directed by Claudio Marino and produced by Artax Film. It moves between a smoke-wreathed black metal performance and a slower narrative built around traditional German garments being put on, piece by piece—each layer a step back toward something left behind.

Tracklist:

  1. Intro (00:34)
  2. Steel Apocalypse (03:58)
  3. Twisted Steel (03:37)
  4. I Drink Alone (04:26)
  5. Metalheart (04:17)
  6. Dresden (04:21)
  7. Shelter the Faithless (06:27)
  8. Man of Mayhem (06:15)
  9. Requiem Germania (05:10)
    Full runtime: 39:07

NARGAROTH is the sole vision of Rene “Ash” Wagner, forged in Saxony in 1996 and driven by nearly three decades of raw, uncompromising German black metal.

Apocalyptic Steel is a record that refused to stay buried. Tracked in a single weekend at Trident Studios in Pacheco, California, in September of 2014, the album sat forgotten on a hard drive in the United States while Era of Threnody took priority. Years later, the recordings resurfaced. Drums were re-recorded in Las Vegas, vocals and mixing completed at AMP Studios in Duisburg, and twelve years after its first sessions, the album is finally here. This is not a vault curiosity. It is Nargaroth at its most direct: nine tracks of filthy, unadorned metal built on the attitude of old Judas Priest, Accept, Deicide and Obituary. From the predatory menace of “Twisted Steel” to the band-name-studded battle cry of “Metalheart”, from the unflinching historical weight of “Dresden” to the aching Germanic longing of “Requiem Germania”, this is an album that has nothing to prove and wastes nothing on pretence. Recorded fast, recorded dirty, and finished on its own terms.

Ash — Vocals, Guitar, Bass
Mike Williams (Mummification) — Guitar, Bass
Phil Cancilla (Malevolent Creation, Hank Williams 3) — Drums

SYLOSIS Reveal Live Video ‘All Glory, No Valour’ Ahead of North American Tour Dates

British metal powerhouse SYLOSIS are preparing to take their monumentally heavy, riff-fuelled live show across the Northern Hemisphere.

Next week, the band will be launching head-first into a collosal month-long trek across North America alongside Bleed From Within, Great American Ghost and Life Cycles.

To set the stage, SYLOSIS have released a break-neck live video for their track ‘All Glory, No Valour‘, filmed during their career-defining performance last month at The Forum, London, a highlight of their biggest headline tour to-date.

SYLOSIS commented:

“All Glory, No Valour is a collective favourite from The New Flesh. Since the early demos, the song always stood out as one of the most aggressive that the band has ever put together. Instead of a standard video, we agreed that releasing a live version of it at some point would be best so listeners could really connect with the energy of the track. Filmed at our biggest headline show to date at London’s O2 Forum in Kentish Town, this video really captures the essence of our live performance. Catch us live across North America over the next couple of months with Bleed From Within and across UK & Europe early next year with Whitechapel. We’ll see you soon.”

*Co-Headline Sylosis & Whitechapel

SUMMER 2026
19/06 – FR Clisson, Hellfest

Last month, Sylosis released their career-defining record The New Flesh. The album is a towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force. The band’s seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of Sylosis in 2026: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.  

Order album The New Flesh: https://sylosis.bfan.link/the-new-flesh

When the going gets tough, metal gets heavier. SYLOSIS have always been devoted to the fine art of breaking necks, but in recent times, the urgency of their mission has grown exponentially. Still surfing on a wave of acclaim and the effusive fan response to their last album, 2023’s A Sign Of Things To Come, Josh Middleton’s virtuoso wrecking crew are poised to release their latest and best album, The New Flesh. A towering testament to destructive riffing, incisive melody and refined brute force, the band’s seventh full-length offering is a powerful showcase for the state of SYLOSIS in 2026: lethal, uncompromising, and avowedly metal as all hell.  

The New Flesh is a fearsome statement of renewed intent. Harder, heavier and more ruthless than its predecessor, it is full of the kind of explosive, riff-driven anthems that guarantee carnage in the pit. But this is no exercise in mindless bludgeon: instead, Josh Middleton has penned his most evocative and thought-provoking songs to date. From the punishing grooves and breakneck viciousness of the opening ‘Beneath The Surface‘, to the epic conflagration of album closer ‘Seeds In The River‘, The New Flesh is an artful and nuanced take on the pure metal that SYLOSIS hold close to their hearts. This is brutality and catchiness in perfect symbiosis.   

Dark and destructive, but dynamic and diligent, SYLOSIS are on blistering, career-best form on The New Flesh. The purposeful reset that began with A Sign Of Things To Come has evolved into something unstoppable, and the band’s latest work brims with confidence and authority. If it’s skull-shattering, 21st century heavy metal you want, The New Flesh brings it like never before.

Swedish Grindcore Veterans GADGET Return with New EP “Coerced”, Out May 8th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 26, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Gadget. Leave a comment

Swedish grindcore veterans GADGET are finally back, ready to make their mark once again with the highly anticipated new EP “Coerced”, set for release on vinyl on May 8, 2026 via De:Nihil Records. This mini-album marks a fresh chapter for the band, being the first proper release since 2016 and the debut with the revitalized lineup featuring Emilia Henriksson on vocals and Kristofer Jankarls on guitar.

“Coerced” comprises seven tracks written between 2019 and 2023, alongside a re-recording of the 2017 track “Funerary Rites”, which had previously been released only digitally in 2020 and never received a physical release. True to GADGET’s signature style, the EP delivers their relentless blend of grindcore, hardcore punk, and death metal, now pushing even further into the uncomfortably dense territories of noise and doomy sludge. The new material preserves the abrasive intensity that longtime fans expect, while also introducing subtle twists and turns that keep the sound fresh and unpredictable.

With “Coerced”, GADGET prove that they are not just returning—they are evolving. The EP captures the raw energy, sharp dynamics, and small experimental touches that have always defined the band’s approach, making it a definitive statement of their ongoing relevance in the grindcore scene. This release is a bold reminder that GADGET remain masters of their craft, combining sheer brutality with inventive songwriting, and they are now poised to reignite their live performances and push forward with renewed determination. “Coerced” is the ultimate announcement: GADGET are back, stronger and more uncompromising than ever.

Vinyl preorders: https://denihilrecords.bigcartel.com/

With the idea of playing grindcore heavily influenced by everything – but mostly death metal, hardcore/d-beat punk, and doom – GADGET was formed in the winter of 1999/2000 by William (drums, guitar, vocals) and Rikard (guitar, bass). Shortly after, they recorded their first demo, and with the addition of Emil (vocals) and Fredrik (bass), GADGET signed to Relapse Records, releasing three full-length albums between 2004 and 2016, along with several split releases with bands like EXHUMED, PHOBIA, and RETALIATION.

The band toured Europe, Scandinavia, and the US multiple times, sharing stages with Primitive Man, Vermin Womb, Lock Up, Cloud Rat, Implore, Crowpath, Napalm Death, Pyramido, Uprise, and others. They also played major festivals such as Brutal Assault (CZ), Obscene Extreme (CZ), Hellfest (FR), Netherland Deathfest, Bloodshed (NL), F*ck The Commerce (DE), Maryland Deathfest (US), and North West Terrorfest (US).

This lineup (Emil – vocals, Fredrik – bass, Rikard – guitar, William – drums) remained intact until fall 2019, when Emil left the band. With the help of friend Johan (Prescriptiondeath), they performed one final show before the COVID-19 pandemic struck in early 2020. The GADGET/RETALIATION split EP was recorded in early 2020 with the help of several friends contributing vocals on each track. One of them, Emilia Henriksson (Radium Grrrls), stayed on for live shows after the pandemic, and together with Kristofer Jankarls (Livet Som Insats, Axis of Despair, Infanticide), who had been a live session bassist and second guitarist on and off since 2019, they both joined the band full-time in 2023.

In 2026, GADGET returns with the new EP “Coerced”, marking a fresh chapter for the band. With renewed energy and determination, they aim to fully resume their activities and continue pushing the boundaries of their sound.

“Coerced” was recorded at The Overlook, Gävle, Sweden March-July 2025. Mixed later on.
”False Pulse”
 recorded at Sätra Centrumstudion November 2025.
All lyrics by Emilia. Music by Rikard.
Guest vocals/lyrics on “Funerary Rites” by Johan Lundmark (PRESCRIPTIONDEATH, INFRACTION)

Arranged and produced by GADGET.

Line-up:

Emilia Henriksson – Vocals
Kristofer Jankarls – Guitar & vocals
Rikard Olsson – Guitar
Fredrik Nygren – Bass
William Blackmon – Drums

MOONSPELL Announce New Studio Album “Far From God” + Unleash Music Video for Title Track

Portuguese Gothic Metal pioneers MOONSPELL have released a music video for the first single and title track of their upcoming studio album Far From God, offering a first glimpse into what promises to be one of the band’s most defining offerings to date. Far From God will be released on July 3, 2026 via Napalm Records.

Born out of five years of creative searching, doubt and ultimate rediscovery, the album marks a powerful return for the band. Far from playing it safe, MOONSPELL deliver a work that feels like a rebirth: darker, sharper and emotionally unfiltered. Rather than bending to modern trends, the band double down on identity and substance, presenting a bold and beautiful statement of Gothic Metal in its purest form: dark, romantic, dramatic and unapologetically heavy!

The first single, “Far From God”, sets the tone with burning intensity. A hymn to tragic vampiric love, the song revives the mystique and romantic darkness that once defined the genre, while layered keyboards subtly expand the atmosphere without softening its heaviness. Dense guitars, deep resonant vocals and dramatic dynamic shifts evoke a timeless gothic aesthetic, restoring danger and elegance to the narrative of the vampire.

Stream “Far From God”: http://lnk.to/Moonspell-FarFromGod

Fernando Ribeiro comments on the track:
“I lost my faith and hope in vampires for quite a few years.
They became the clowns of Hollywood, the cheap Halloween shop customs, the old and disgraceful Princes from the East. Until the film director Robert Eggers brought us Nosferatu in 2024 and I was immediately attracted back to that tragic, romantic character who Bram Stoker immortalised in his letters. I wrote Far from God in just one breath and it’s our first song about vampiric love in ages. I confess I felt the urge of, together with Moonspell, saving the face of Gothic Metal which became hostage of semi-tuned operatic female vocalists, simpleton and crunchy guitar riffs; and of lyrical content that would make Dracula impale himself with a stake in his bloodless heart. This song is the essence of this album, its title, its video, its soul. And you can even feel the fire of daylight burning into yours and your lover’s skin.”

Thematically, Far From God moves through Baudelairian love, existential guilt and redemption, Christlike resurrections and the quiet nobility of creatures of the night. Vampires, werewolves and sacred symbolism are not escapism here, but vehicles for genuine dark emotion: solemn, romantic and unfiltered. The album rejects artificial gloss in favour of fantasy grounded in sincerity, rediscovering the heart of Gothic Metal in its most authentic form.

“To create Far from God we had to wait for the muse,” Ribeiro admits. “Again, she didn’t failed us and revealed herself in the most mysterious and beautiful ways to us.

It took us five long years of hit and miss, of despairing to the point of thinking we didn’t have it anymore and why should we at all create new music. But I’m glad we persisted. Far from God is a true crusade against the decline of the style in the past few years, a darkly crafted statement that Moonspell is here to stay and to claim our throne. No politics, no socials, no intervention, just sickly romantic love, vampires, werewolves so we can all die of beauty, in peace and elegance. Goth bless you.”

MOONSPELL’s forthcoming magnum opus – produced with Jaime Gomez Arellano (Paradise Lost, Sólstafir, Ghost among many others) – shines like a black diamond, luminous yet shadowed in texture and colour, both musically and sonically. It reconnects with the darker spirit of MOONSPELL’s classic era while sounding powerful and contemporary. Far From God is not nostalgia; it is a statement. A Gothic Metal hallelujah. MOONSPELL’s 21st century Irreligious. It’s not only a powerful reminder that MOONSPELL remain a defining force in the genre they helped shape, but an album that will truly save Gothic Metal from boredom and predictability!

THE 69 EYES’ “Lost Boys”, Feat. Steve Stevens On Lead Guitar, Hits Red Vinyl on April 3rd

It’s one of the most eagerly awaited 45s of 2026-so-far.  Five months after 69 Eyes and guest Steve Stevens (Billy Idol) gave a digital release to their 20th anniversary update of the classic “Lost Boys,” April 3 will see this seething classic finally make it into the physical realm.

Available as a red vinyl 45rpm single, “Lost Boys (20th Anniversary Version)” will be backed by another band classic,  a raw and raucous take on 69 Eyes favorite, “Brandon Lee,” recorded live at Helsinki’s House Of Culture, on June 26th, 2020.  And, like the a-side, the song is a tribute to a Hollywood great, the late actor Brandon Lee.

“Lost Boys,” of course, was inspired by director Joel Schumacher epochal vampire movie Lost Boys, as singer Jyrki 69 explains.

”The movie came out in the best 80’s hard rock and glam times, and that’s what we wanted to capture –  like dreaming what would have happened if Billy Idol, Guns N’ Roses and Mötley Crüe had come together to make music for it.”

Clearly it was a potent image.  Across the decades that followed, “Lost Boys”has become the band’s undisputed anthem, topping 20 million streams. As Jyrki continues, “It is the main song The 69 Eyes is known for around the world. We always end our show for it. It is impossible to play anymore after that.”

And it was impossible to allow the song’s birthday to pass by unmarked.

Or was it?  At first, admits Jyrki, “We really did think that there is no reason to re-record the song.”  Unless they could add something very, very special to the brew.

“The only way we would do it was if Steve Stevens was playing guitar on it.” Long time sideman, collaborator and unique foil for Billy Idol, Stevens epitomizes the image of the 80s rock guitarist, both visually and musically – it was Stevens’s devastating licks that underpinned such Idol classics as “White Wedding” and “Rebel Yell,” while he was already long-established as a key element in another deathless 80s movie, the theme to Top Gun.”

No wonder, then, that Jyrki describes him as, “The mythical rock’n’roll lead guitarist that you saw on the coolest MTV music videos, continuing the same dark and glamorous style like Link Wray and Johnny Thunders but in the video age. He is a legend.” 

“So if we were going to celebrate the song’s 20th anniversary and re-record it, we’d also have to make our original fantasy come true by having Steve on lead guitar.  And  It’s still feels unreal and dreamy that Cleopatra Records were able to make it happen.”

Both sides of the single, “Lost Boys (20th Anniversary Version”)”/“Brandon Lee,”  are now available to hear on all digital platforms.  

Or you can wait a few weeks more for the 45.  Your stylus will thank you if you do.

MALVADA Unleash Powerful New Video Single ‘RNR GRL’

📸: Livia Mendes

Women-led, talented Brazilian Rock band Malvada unleash today their new single and official video, “RNR GRL”, a powerful new track out now via Frontiers Music Srl.

The band commented: “The single is a reminder of the presence of women in rock n’ roll, whether as artists, singers, or songwriters… And about our influence within this space, highlighting and showing the importance of each one of us in the creation of music.”

Stream “RNR GRL” HERE

The rising star of the Brazilian rock scene has a name: Malvada, and they are ready to take over the world!

Malvada was initially formed in March 2020, during the beginning of the pandemic. With a rock n’ roll style full of personality, the band quickly attracted attention as one of the most promising acts in the Brazilian rock scene.

In January 2021, Malvada released their first single entitled “Mais Um Gole”, which gained greater prominence in the scene. Shortly afterwards, in May of the same year, it was time to release the second single “Cada Escolha uma Renúncia”, which preceded the launch of the band’s debut album, “A Noite Vai Ferver”. 

In the years 2022 and 2023, Malvada solidified its presence on the national rock panorama, performing more than a hundred shows in several cities in Brazil. The band had the privilege of participating in huge festivals, such as Rock in Rio, Best of Blues and Rock, Angra Fest and Chama Rock, sharing the stage with renowned national and international rock names, like Pitty, Ira!, Angra, Viper, Edu Falaschi, Matanza, Golpe de Estado, Extreme and Tom Morello.

In November 2023, Malvada, composed of Indira Castillo, Bruna Tsuruda, Rafaela Reoli and Juliana Salgado surprised with a big announcement: the band has become the newest signee of the prestigious Italian label Frontiers Records, which has renowned bands in its catalog such as Mr. Big, Asia, Whitesnake, Jeff Scott Soto, among others, promising to take them to a new level, with opportunities to expand their reach and conquer the global market.

Their latest self-titled album, released last June and produced by the Brazilian Grammy awarded producer Giu Daga, delivers a powerful and exciting musical experience, featuring tracks in both English and Portuguese, setting the bar for the band to conquer a global audience. 

Malvada recently toured Europe with Michael Schenker, wrapping the tour up last month, and are set to play again at Rock in Rio in September, along with Bring Me The Horizon, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Omens and Poppy.

Line Up:
Indira Castillo – Vocals
Bruna Tsuruda – Guitar
Juliana Salgado – Drums
Rafaela Reoli – Bass
