A brand new modern hard rock band has officially arrived. Brian Wheat (Tesla) and Tommy Skeoch (formerly of Tesla, Bad Marriage) have joined forces with Josey Scott (Original Voice of Saliva) and Chris Holmes (formerly of W.A.S.P.) to form a new band called T3rminal.
The group is currently in the studio working on their debut full-length album, expected to be released later this year. Bringing even more firepower to the project, Sal Giancarelli (Staind) is performing drums on the upcoming studio recording.
With decades of rock legacy between them, T3rminal is shaping up to deliver pure modern hard rock attitude—loud, heavy, in some cases bluesy and built to shake stages.
Tour dates will be announced following the album’s release.More news, music, and official updates from T3rminal will be revealed soon.

Enigmatic black metal masters UADA is celebrating the 10 year anniversary of their debut album, ‘Devoid of Light,’ with a special reissue! Originally released in 2016, ‘Devoid of Light’ remains a remarkably focused debut – just five tracks, a little over thirty minutes – and yet a fully formed statement. The ‘Devoid of Light (10th Anniversary Edition)’ returns in an expanded form. Remastered by Arthur Rizk, who previously handled mixing and mastering for UADA’s sophomore album ‘Cult of a Dying Sun’ and mastering for the acoustic album ‘Interwoven,’ the material gains depth without losing the character of the original recordings. This edition also includes previously unseen photography by Peter Beste, alongside rare archival material, expanded liner notes, and an exclusive bonus track. It will be released on July 17, 2026 via Eisenwald in CD format and 3 vinyl color variations; it is now available for pre-orders HERE.
Moreover, UADA’s upcoming acoustic album has been delayed. The original April 10 release date will still be honored digitally, but physical copies will not be shipped until late May due to delays at the manufacturing plant. The album represents an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of UADA’s discography as well as various covers from the bands who’ve inspired them. ‘Interwoven’ will also be released via Eisenwald and is now available for pre-orders HERE.
ICYMI: UADA recently unveiled a haunting version of ROME’s “Der Brandtaucher.” The release comes just before UADA embarks on their next North American journey alongside MORTIIS, in which Jerome Reuter’s ROME will be among the support. The song can be heard now at THIS LOCATION.
UADA comments, “Originally composed by Jerome Reuter and Patrick Damiani, this rendition was the final track chosen for Interwoven. Having followed Rome since 2008’s Masse Mensch Material, “Der Brandtaucher” held deep personal resonance, especially during the most difficult chapter of my life. Its inclusion was not simply artistic – it was necessary.”
In addition, UADA has joined forces with industrial metal artist MORTIIS for a very special co-headliner, featuring exclusive anniversary sets and supporting performances by Jerome Reuter’s ROME and WRAITH KNIGHT. UADA will be performing their seminal 2016 debut album ‘Devoid of Light’ in its entirety + a special CERMONIAL CASTINGS 30-year anniversary set featuring Wraith Knight. In addition, MORTIIS shall be performing songs from his groundbreaking 2001 full-length, ‘The Smell Of Rain,’ along with other volumes of dystopian despair. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are now available HERE.
Moreover, after much demand from fans, UADA will be returning to Milwaukee Metal Fest for the second time since leaving their mark during the 2024 edition. The festival will take place at The Rave/Eagle’s Club from June 4 – 7, with UADA performing on the 7th. More info and tickets can be found HERE.

“The idea of ‘Interwoven’ – an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of our discography – was first envisioned on the very day UADA was conceived: October 1st, 2014,” says UADA founder and frontman Jake Superchi. “In those early conversations, when laying out the future I sought to create, I recall sharing the concept of a stripped, atmospheric interpretation, supported by the haunting resonance of strings – cello or violin. At the time, the notion was met with skepticism, perhaps even dismissal. Yet it was an idea I knew would one day take form. It had to.”
“UADA has always drawn from a wide spectrum of influences – many of which extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of black metal,” he continues. “With Interwoven, we sought to peel back the layers and reveal the vastness of these realms; to immerse the listener in both the foreign and the familiar, in textures that challenge and comfort in equal measure.”
“More than a sonic experiment, this album was a deliberate act of vulnerability. It was a personal and collective trial – a chance to step outside the acquainted shadows and embrace the uncertain light. The earliest intent was to craft something primitive and ritualistic, echoing the ancestral tones of ancient Pagan folk. Vocally, we anticipated a palette of whispers, chants, and throat singing. There was never a plan to explore clean, melodic singing – until an improvised vocal passage in “Djinn” revealed something unexpected. That unscripted moment sparked the foundation of what would become this album. With the band’s enthusiastic support, the recording process began – without a script, without rehearsal, and with full commitment to spontaneity and truth.”

Available now on all digital platforms via Volcano Records, “Sail Away From Here” is the new single by REVEALING CHAOS, the Italian band carving its own path between progressive rock, introspection, and melodic depth.
With this new release, the Rome-based group of musicians continues the artistic journey they began in 2021, embracing an intense and atmospheric songwriting approach that blends instrumental solidity with emotional depth. “Sail Away From Here” metaphorically represents a long inner journey through growth, pain, and personal transformation: a symbolic crossing of an ocean that, at first, seems impossible to overcome, before gradually opening up to the possibility of awareness and inner peace.
Musically, the track perfectly captures Revealing Chaos’ creative identity, built on rich arrangements, progressive dynamics, and an emotional approach that balances tension with melodic nuances. Its atmospheric component, supported by synth layers and evocative harmonic textures, shapes a sound that looks both to the tradition of progressive music and to a more contemporary sensibility, confirming a coherent, mature, and constantly evolving artistic vision.
The single is also available on YouTube, accompanied by a lyric video available here:
A fierce tale of defiance and destiny, VANSIND’s new single and official video channels the legendary figure of Alvild, a princess turned warrior who rejects fate and carves her own path through blood and steel. Blending haunting folk melodies with surging riffs and cinematic intensity, the track captures the emotional weight of rebellion, loss and vengeance, as its protagonist rises from concealment to command her own fate. Both epic and deeply personal, this is Vansind at their most evocative and battle-hardened – where myth and raw human struggle collide.
Join the premiering here:
Vansind return with their highly anticipated sophomore album “Hævnen”, set for release on May 1st, 2026 via Mighty Music. Following the thunderous reception of their debut album “Mørket” (2023), the Danish folk metal warriors sharpen their blades and raise the stakes with a more refined, powerful and emotionally charged release that dives deep into themes of revenge, betrayal, freedom and sacrifice.
“With “Hævnen”, we wanted to explore the darker consequences of choice, loyalty and loss. It’s an album about standing your ground, even when the cost is high” the band says.
With this new record, Vansind build upon the foundation laid by “Mørket”, expanding their sonic battlefield where brutal metal riffs collide with ancient folk melodies. Thunderous growls and soaring clean vocals are carried by the haunting sounds of bagpipes and tin whistles, creating an atmosphere that feels both primal and cinematic – music forged for warriors, rebels and the wild at heart.
Lyrically, Vansind continue their descent into the dark corners of Nordic mythology and Scandinavian history, resurrecting ancient legends and forgotten tales with a modern ferocity. Rather than merely echoing the past, the band reclaims it, forging a powerful emotional bridge between ancestral struggle and the modern human condition.
A formidable live force, Vansind have already proven their strength on major European stages, including CopenHell (DK), Cernunnos Pagan Fest (FR), Ragnarök Festival (DE), Malpaga Folk & Metal Fest (IT) and Warhorns Vikings II (UK). Their live reputation underscores the raw intensity and authenticity that defines “Hævnen”.
Formed in Slagelse, Denmark, in the summer of 2019, Vansind bring together members with vastly different musical backgrounds, united by a shared vision and a determination to leave their mark on the Danish folk metal scene. Rooted deeply in Nordic soil, the band stand as a rising force where tradition and aggression meet. When the battle torches are lit and steel meets steel, Vansind stand in the fray – and for those who listen closely, the gates of Valhalla may not be far behind.
“Hævnen” will be released on LP (blue and black vinyl variants, each limited to 200 copies), CD and digital formats on 01.05.2026, via Mighty Music
Lineup: J. Asgaard – male vocals Line Burglin – female vocals Rikke Klint Johansen – keyboard, tin whistle, bagpipe Kirk Backarach – guitar Nikolaj Madsen – guitar James Atkin – bass Danni Lyse Jelsgaard – drums
Emerging from the depth of the West Coast metal scene, GRAVEMASS is a death metal behemoth forged from the collective fury of its veteran members. With members that reads like a who’s who of West Coast metal legends, GraveMass unites alumni from Zimmers Hole, Punch Drunk,3 Inches of Blood, Revocation, Just Cause, West of Hell, Savannah, Process and The Golers.
With decades of experience and a shared passion for sonic brutality, these metal stalwarts have conjured a sound that embodies the very essence of evil. Sinister, heavy riffs collide with death metal vocal power, unleashing a maelstrom of aural annihilation.
Their stage presence is a masterclass in intensity, a testament to their collective prowess. This is no mere band – it’s an assembly of warriors, united in their quest for sonic domination.
Prepare to succumb to the onslaught, as these west coast metal veterans unleash their evil, sinister sound upon the world. The masterclass in death metal has begun.
The single is taken from the band’s EP Transmissions 2.0, a reworking of the band’s lauded 2025 album Transmissions (Pelagic Records).
As the band comment: “With Transmissions we added a heap of synthesisers, cinematic and electronic textures to our sound – so when approaching this EP, it felt natural to give some tracks to artists that could expand on this part of our sound.”
Rather than basic remixes, each guest artist was invited to reconstruct the track entirely. Sitting at the centre of the EP is ‘Home (Redux)’, with Jo Quail.
The band state: “We first discovered Jo’s music at Dunk Festival in 2018. We were literally stopped in our tracks but her performance. Her music (at least to us) feels both organic and futuristic, cello meets live looping – so conceptually as we re-imagined our full band music into a more electronic space we felt she was the natural collaborator.”
