“This Night” is the first single and video from ADVOCACY‘s upcoming album – an intense journey into the night where hope fades, fear looms, and the struggle against overwhelming crisis becomes inevitable. The lyrics reflect the current age of polarization, insecurity, and war, shifting between resignation and defiance.
Guest vocalist Anders Sinding (Avarice) delivers a raw and visceral counterpoint, while production and mixing by Frederik Uglebjerg (who also worked on the band’s acclaimed debut “The Path of Decoherence”) provide a razor-sharp sonic framework. A visually striking music video, directed by Casper Silber, completes the release, capturing the full spectrum of Advocacy’s expression – from melancholy to extreme intensity.

Lamb of God return with their new single “Sepsis”, a visceral, menacing new single out now via Century Media Records / Epic Records (US/CAN), marking the GRAMMY® Award-nominated band’s first new original music since 2022’s critically revered album, Omens.
Produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, the three-and-a-half-minute track arrives alongside a grainy, lo-fi performance video that offers a moody, unfiltered look at Richmond’s underbelly. Directed by Gianfranco Svagelj, the video captures the song’s slow-burning tension.
“’Sepsis’ is a celebration of the very underground local bands here in Richmond that we really admired when we were just forming Burn the Priest,” Mark Morton shares. “Bands like Breadwinner, Sliang Laos, and Ladyfinger—though they never got widespread attention outside of Richmond, those were the bands we listened to all the time. The song references that stuff in a way that’s a direct line to where we were coming from when we were in the basement writing our earliest material together.”
“Sepsis” arrives during a milestone year for Lamb of God. In 2025, the band celebrated the 25th anniversary of their discography, performed at the historic “Back to the Beginning” concert and subsequently released their thunderous take on Black Sabbath’s “Children of the Grave,” along with appearances at several festivals including Inkcarceration and Louder Than Life, and a headlining show at Richmond’s new 7500-seat outdoor venue, Allianz Amphitheater, during its opening season.
In addition, the band has signed a worldwide deal (excl. US/CAN) with Century Media Records. Dennis Moll, Head of A&R at Century Media Records, says about the signing:
“We are beyond thrilled to welcome Lamb of God — one of the most iconic and influential bands in heavy music — to the Century Media Records family. Their recent appearance at Ozzy Osbourne’s historic final show in Birmingham, along with their striking cover of Black Sabbath’s Children of the Grave, once again underlines their timeless importance and creative power within the scene. We are grateful for the trust the band and their team have placed in us, and we look forward to building an incredible new chapter together.”
As the year closes, Lamb of God have several performances ahead of them, including outings at Aftershock, AMMA Championship Fest, and the band’s Headbangers Boat cruise (Oct. 31 to Nov. 4) – a four-day floating festival departing from Miami with a stop in Cozumel, Mexico. The line-up features performances from Clutch, Kublai Khan TX, Power Trip, Obituary, Devil Driver, Fear Factory, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Exploited, Crowbar, Nekrogoblikon, Eighteen Visions, Gideon, Walls of Jericho, Category 7, Brat, comics Josh Potter and Saul Trujillo, with appearances from Jose Mangin and Riki Rachtman. Tickets are available at Headbangersboat.com.

Formed in 1994, the Richmond, Va.-based band has released nine critically-acclaimed albums, received five GRAMMY® Award nominations, sold over 3 million albums, packed arenas around the world, and tallied over one billion streams and counting. Widely regarded as one of the most influential and innovative forces in modern heavy music Lamb of God’s most recent collection, Omens, arrived in late 2022 , marking their sixth consecutive album to debut in the Top 15 of on the Billboard 200. Kerrang! notied that the album finds the band “as reliably heavy, violent, and pissed off as ever,” and Consequence said the “album will break you down to nihilistic pieces.”
Alternative metal band ODC are pleased to share their new single, “Twisted Love”, title track of the upcoming album, out on October 31, 2025, via BLKIIBLK.
With “Twisted Love”, ODC deliver a bold crossover between modern rock, metalcore intensity, and rap flow. The track combines crushing 8-string riffs and infectious grooves with the striking vocal interplay of bassist/rapper Sonny’s razor-sharp verses and frontwoman Célia’s soaring melodic hooks. This dual energy makes the single both powerful and accessible, pushing the boundaries of today’s modern rock and metal.
Vocalist Célia Do described the track by saying: “Twisted Love” is about contradictions – attraction and destruction, sweetness and brutality. At the same time, it’s also the track that defines us best as a band. It captures our mindset: we don’t believe in rules or boxes, because ODC was never meant to fit in one”.
With its polished production and fearless genre-blending, “Twisted Love” brings ODC’s bold vision of modern alternative metal to life. The band’s motto, “Forget rules, forget boxes”, perfectly sums up this hybrid and liberated debut.
Commenting on the album, the band stated: “With “Twisted Love”, we wanted to show that metal can be both powerful and elegant – emotional, modern, and unafraid to break the rules. This album is about pushing boundaries by blending genres and influences while staying true to who we are: delivering heavy music that moves both body and soul”.
“Lyrically, “Twisted Love” explores the breaking points of human connection but also carries a message of hope: accepting our shadows to heal and rebuild. It’s for anyone drawn to heavy music that refuses to fit into categories”, they continued.
ODC is the soundtrack of a hybrid generation. A sonic uppercut, balancing raw power and elegance.
Born in Paris in 2017, ODC is the result of two worlds coming together: the world of Celia Do, a vocalist with a striking identity, and that of a composer driven by the same fire – the desire to create an alternative metal project that breaks free from conventions: bold, modern, and uncompromising. From this spark, a true sonic and visual odyssey emerged.
ODC – named after Celia’s stage name acronym – became a totally creative space, where heavy riffs, catchy melodies, and contemporary electronic textures collide in a unique blend of raw energy and polished aesthetic. ODC is a bold blend of metal, modern rock and immersive electronic atmospheres.
Inspired by artists such as Devin Townsend, Breaking Benjamin, Linkin Park and BMTH, ODC doesn’t fit in any box. The band asserts its own voice — powerful, hybrid, sharp and emotional. Their songs are modern mantras, telling stories of freedom, downfall, and resilience. Music that hits hard — and hits deep. A constant dialogue between introspection and explosion.
The band is built around four distinct artistic personalities: Celia Do (lead singer, founder and producer, the rock frontwoman of the band), Sonny, a.k.a. MX MNK (a bassist with roots in hardcore and black metal, and a rapper with visceral energy). Then, Raphaël (an 8-string guitarist blending classic rock, hard rock, and atmospheric textures), and Hector (a drummer forged in the death metal scene, delivering explosive rhythmic power).
After a well-received debut EP in 2019 (“Ending The Boredom”), ODC carved their path through a series of powerful singles between 2020 and 2023, asserting their hybrid identity and ability to break genre boundaries. In 2024, the project took a major leap forward: writing their first full-length album, produced in Nashville by Kellen McGregor (Memphis May Fire).

Brace yourselves for a fuzz-fueled cosmic rampage, Italian heavy fuzzers Godzilla Was Too Drunk To Destroy Tokyo have just released their brand-new single and official video “Sasquatch’s Eyes”, offering a mind-melting preview of their forthcoming album Sideral Voivod, set for release September 19, 2025 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records. Available on CD, limited edition colored vinyl and digital formats, the album promises a kaleidoscopic collision of stoner grooves, acid-drenched riffs and chaotic sci-fi storytelling.
“Sasquatch’s Eyes” is a wild, groove-heavy trip into the band’s trademark blend of 60s acid rock textures, monolithic fuzz and offbeat rhythmic breakdowns. Laced with hypnotic hooks and otherworldly swagger, the track embodies the raw, untamed energy that has made Godzilla Was Too Drunk To Destroy Tokyo one of the most unique acts in the European underground scene.
The band shares: “‘Sasquatch’s Eyes’ is pure primal vision, a soundtrack for those who’ve stared into the wilderness and felt it staring back. Expect our usual mix of gorilla bass tones, prophetic choruses, and riffs straight from another galaxy, with a touch of paranoia for good measure.”
Formed in 2022 in the small Ligurian village of Calice Ligure, the band is fronted by Sara de Luca (bass destroyer and sonic instigator known as The Evil Lord), alongside Nicola Viola (the octopus-armed drum wizard) and Alessandro “Camu” Camurati (riff-crafting guitar builder). The trio has already taken their high-voltage live assault across Europe and Japan, leaving a wake of crushed stages and blown minds.
Following the buzz around their 2023 releases Atomic Spitfire and Evil Lord, Sideral Voivod pushes their sound even further into interstellar chaos, a hallucinatory ride through doom, psych, sludge and space rock. Fans of L7, Melvins, and The Stooges will feel right at home in Godzilla’s sonic mayhem.
MYSTHICON is a band founded in 2015 by former Lux Occulta guitarist G’Ames, who invited musicians from the bands Vader, Batushka, Hate, Kalt Vindur and other musicians such as Tomasz Gilewski and guest Jerzy “U.Reck” Głód (Lux Occuta) to collaborate on the recording of their first album.
In September 2020, the debut album “Silva – Oculis – Corvi” was released on cassette, CD and vinyl, and right now, after 5 years of silence band is back with new release!
In 2023, G’Ames, together with the guitarist from the old line-up Szymon Hadała, began working on material for the second album of the Dukla band. The new music combines many elements from different metal subgenres, and in terms of atmosphere, refers to the roots and origin of the musicians, taking into account the unique surroundings of the Dukla forest areas as well as the new band members coming from the Low Beskids and Bieszczady Mountains.
This is how a new album was created, entitled “Bieśń” (i.e. a collection of stories, songs and legends from the Dukla region and its surroundings).
G’Ames comments new album “Bieśń“: “The album contains 6 tracks. It is a fusion of classic black metal with elements of progressive music and doom metal. In terms of sound, it is a combination of a traditional approach to black metal while maintaining a classic style and a modern look at music production. The album ends with a cover of “Creation” from the first demo of the legendary Lux Occulta performed in a completely new arrangement. The album features several guests playing unusual instruments for black metal, namely the hurdy-gurdy and the double bass, which fuel the phenomenal atmosphere of the entire release.“
Music for album “Bieśń” was mixed and mastered by Adrian Mięsowicz at Tribe Five Studio (Karpathian Relict, KSU). Cover artwork was done by Michał “Xaay” Loranc (God Dethroned, Kamelot, Karl Sanders, Nile, Turbo). The photo session was done by Tomasz Gilewski and Łukasz Zajdel, while the logo was designed by Primeval Era Rising (Graveland, Vader). The album features several guests: Jacek Głód (acoustic guitar), Marcin Chatys (double bass) and Wojciech Miller (hurdy-gurdy). Release date is set up on September 23, 2025 and will be released on digital format (pre-save), CD (pre-order) and at a later date on vinyl.
