THE BRAINS Celebrate “Vampire Zombies From Space” with Eponymous Single + Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 2, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: , . Leave a comment

Vampire Zombies From Space! has been described as one of the greatest 50s B-movies released this century, and it has swept up a bucketful of awards as well. 

Best Feature Film at Terror In The Bay (Canada), Fright Nights Austria and the South African Horrorfest; Best Film at Descubierto Film Festival (Peru) and Terror Córdoba (Argentina); Best Canadian Feature at the Victoria Film Festival; Best Sci-Fi Feature at the New York City Horror Film Festival and Best Screenplay at Cine Underground (Italy), Vampire Zombies From Space! also made off with the ultra-prestigious Golden Shovel at the Buried Alive Film Festival.

Yep, they really dug it there.

Now, with Cleopatra Entertainment having unleashed the movie’s first time DVD and Blu-Ray release earlier this month, everybody’s favorite monster mash-up The Brains arise from the infernal pit that they call home, to celebrate Vampire Zombies From Space! with a single that condenses the entire film into just two and a half minutes and a six word lyric (and accompanying video) which – no matter how many times you might already have seen the movie – is guaranteed to make you watch it again.

“Vampire Zombies, Yeah Yeah, From Space,” sings Brains mainman Rene De La Muerte, and those really are the only words that the song requires.  The band, after all, long ago established itself as the most gorgeously ghoulish punk band around… catch their Crazy Monster album, released last summer, for further evidence of that.  Who else could we have asked to celebrate this landmark cinematic epic?

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQGproMEVLo&t=3s

“What a cool and unexpected piece inspired by our film. When we were making the film we never imagined that there would be a song and music video created for it.  And it’s even cooler that Rene is a fellow Canadian. Amazing work!” — Theodore Bezaire, writer.director.producer/ VAMPIRE ZOMBIES FROM SPACE!

But, like the movie itself, “Vampire Zombies From Space” nevertheless unleashes a whole new wave of gothic horror, and so what if you can see the strings as the spaceship wobbles?  The Brains bring the entire story to vivid, vicarious life with an earworm that will burrow so deep inside your head that it could be a horror film in its very own right.  And imagine that!  An army of Brains fans walking the streets, stiff limbed and arms stretched, all chanting in perfect harmony… 

“Vampire Zombies, Yeah Yeah, From Space.”

Watch it, sing it, and if you’re not undead already, live it. Buy the DVD/BR, HERE.

This marks the group’s third ECMA nomination, following their EP New Blood, Old Wounds, which was nominated for Rock Recording of the Year and went on to win Loud Recording of the Year in 2023. Wicked Way represents the band’s second consecutive original release to earn ECMA recognition, serving as the follow-up single to New Blood, Old Wounds.

Wicked Way was released in mid-2024 through Wormholedeath Records, further solidifying Dali Van Gogh’s place in Canada’s modern hard rock landscape.

The band is nominated alongside:

  • Direwolf – Thunder Calls
  • The Order of the Precious Blood – Dark Hallucinations
  • Thunderor – Cape Breton Home
  • Where Giants Once Stood – Dead To You

The nomination arrives as Dali Van Gogh complete production on three forthcoming releases: Vilify, a full album of all-new material; Unplugged, an acoustic re-imagining of select songs from the band’s catalogue; and What’s a Bootleg, a live recording capturing the band’s onstage intensity.

Stream Wicked Way on your platform of choice here: https://orcd.co/wickedway

With momentum continuing to build, Dali Van Gogh enter 2026 with renewed focus and an expanding body of work that reflects both their evolution and staying power within the East Coast rock community.

ROTH Release New Album “Alles Endet”, Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 2, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

German dark metal force ROTH have officially released their long-awaited new album “Alles Endet” via Massacre Records on 2CD Mediabook, limited Vinyl LP and digital formats.

LISTEN/GET YOUR COPY HERE: https://massacre-records.com/roth_alles_endet_sale

With “Alles Endet”, ROTH deliver their darkest, most personal and uncompromising work to date. Following the acclaimed debut Nachtgebete, mastermind Quentin Roth spent more than four years shaping a record of complete artistic control: every composition, every lyric and every instrumental performance was created by Quentin himself. For the first time, he also took full responsibility for production and mix, forging the album’s cold, oppressive and intensely modern sound at Panic Room Studios.

The album was mastered by renowned engineer Markus Stock at Klangschmiede Studio E, adding clarity, depth and crushing impact to an already powerful sonic architecture.

Across twelve tracks, “Alles Endet” expands the band’s signature sound into a broader and more extreme emotional spectrum, blending crushing Neue Deutsche Härte rhythms, macabre melodies, grim storytelling, folk-tinged atmospheres and moments of unsettling intimacy. Songs such as the title track “Alles Endet” and “Zahle Den Preis” set the tone with their relentless heaviness and stark lyrical themes, while other compositions explore violence, decay, guilt and fatalism with cinematic intensity.

The unmistakable voice of M. Roth, Quentin’s father, once again defines the album’s narrative identity, delivering the lyrics with authority, menace and emotional depth. Additionally, the Mediabook edition includes four exclusive bonus tracks featuring Quentin Roth himself on vocals, fulfilling a long-standing wish among fans. Guest guitarist Cedric Roß contributes lead guitar work on several tracks, adding sharpness and aggression to key moments throughout the record.

Visually, “Alles Endet” is completed by the dark and evocative artwork created by Svartir Andar Graphix, perfectly reflecting the album’s themes of decay, inevitability and emotional unrest.

With “Alles Endet”, ROTH present a cohesive and uncompromising artistic statement – a bold step forward that cements their position as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary German dark metal.

SENKI Sign Global Deal with Wormholedeath for Release of New EP “Szilánkok”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 2, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Wormholedeath Records is proud to announce the signing of Hungarian modern metal powerhouse SENKI. This new partnership will see the global digital release of the band’s highly anticipated EP, “Szilánkok” (Shards), on March 13, 2026.

Emerging from the depths of the Hungarian underground, SENKI (Hungarian for “Nobody”) has evolved from a solitary vision into a crushing collective. Their sound, a blend of Metalcore, Groove, and Progressive Metal, is defined by tension-driven riffs, massive dynamic shifts, and an uncompromising vocal delivery that mirrors the raw energy of their live performances.

A Personal Battle Captured in Sound

For frontman and founder Ákos Rikter, Szilánkok is more than just a collection of songs; it is a sonic confession. The EP explores the internal fracture between the relentless pursuit of artistic dreams and the profound responsibilities of family life.

“It is a huge honor that such an acclaimed label sees potential in Senki’s music and concept,” the band stated. “We have been searching for a long time for a partner who can help us achieve our goals, and we believe that Wormholedeath Records is the best base for taking the next step. We are ready to work together to bring the emotional charge of ‘Szilánkok’ to the international community.”

The Evolution of SENKI

What began in 2018 as Ákos Rikter’s solo project has transformed into a formidable three-piece. After years of refinement and several lineup iterations, the band solidified its foundation with bassist Olivér Takács and the recent addition of drummer Adrián Miskoltzy in late 2025. With a complete lineup and a global label behind them, SENKI is now ready for international expansion and is already developing material for a full-length album.

“Szilánkok” tracklist:

  1. Dilemmáim
  2. Hegyeken túl
  3. Mint égen a csillag
  4. Szilánkok

To coincide with the announcement, the band unleash the first single and official lyric video, “Left In Silence”, available today. 

The band commented on the new song, by saying: “Left In Silence” is about what happens when people drift apart and stop truly speaking and listening to each other. The song captures that quiet aftermath, when communication fades and only silence remains. As the first release from our upcoming album, it kicks open a new chapter for the band – powered by fresh energy, driven by the original vision, and focused on pushing our sound forward without losing what made us who we are”.

The band stated: “IV Aftermath” pushes the legacy forward with purpose and determination – our most complete album yet, built on the same flame that started it all.”

Formed in Sweden and quickly gaining international attention for their impeccable songwriting and classic yet forward-looking melodic sound, Creye built a solid reputation with their early releases, blending arena-ready choruses, top class production and unmistakable Scandinavian flair. Over the years, the band has steadily refined their identity, earning respect from fans and critics alike within the melodic rock community.

At the core of Creye remains founding member and visionary Andreas Gullstrand, whose guitar work continues to define the band’s signature sound. On “IV Aftermath”, he is joined by Fredrik Joakimsson on rhythm guitars, Denny Karlsson on bass, and Vidar Savbrant on drums, forming a tight and powerful unit that delivers both finesse and impact. The arrival of Simon Böös on vocals adds a fresh dynamic, bringing passion, range that elevates the new material to even greater heights.

With “IV Aftermath”, Creye not only honor the legacy of classic melodic hard rock, but also reshape it for a contemporary audience through modern songwriting and refined, sophisticated arrangements. The album stands as a clear statement: Creye are not just back – they are stronger than ever, firmly established as a leading force in the modern hard rock landscape.
