BAMBEES have released their new video for single ‘NOEYES//NOLOVE‘, out now on Flip Flop Records.
“NOEYES//NOLOVE is built around a loud, groovy riff and fast, physical momentum — made for sweaty rooms. The track plays with the idea of a parasite living inside you: a negative part of yourself that drains you and can’t be removed. It’s handled with a raw, aggressive edge rather than anything overly dark.”
BAMBEES are a chaotic concoction of Welsh life, loud riffs, and unfiltered energy. Formed in the heart of Merthyr Tydfil, their sound is soaked in the grit of post-industrial Wales: hard-working, rough around the edges, and defiantly alive.
On stage, their name has become shorthand for high-energy chaos—five close friends turning raw emotion into a glorious racket that’s as much about community as it is about noise. BAMBEES take the frustration, humour, and heart of their hometown and hurl it through jagged guitar riffs, pounding drums, and shout-along choruses, creating performances that feel like both a rebellion and a celebration.
“Finally, we’re off to Wales for the new one from BAMBEES. Their latest single, “NOEYES//NOLOVE”, grabbed me right from the off. It’s a tight two-and-a-half minutes, but it packs in so much raw power with fast riffs and a massive amount of energy. The guitar work at the start actually put me in mind of early Pixies, but the rest of the track is very much their own brand of chaotic post-punk.” – Moshville Times

The Browning continues their next chapter after announcing the Burn This World [EVOLVED] Tour plus the Burn This World [EVOLVED] on vinyl. The digital version of the Burn This World [EVOLVED] album is out now available from FiXT.
Burn This World [EVOLVED]is an intense reimagining of the band’s 2011 breakout album completely re-worked from the ground up with the digital release dropping on February 11th and the Vinyl arriving on February 27th. Along with the album The Browning announced their new Burn This World [EVOLVED] Tour in both the EU and US. They will be joined by Within Destruction, Convictions, and Dead Eyes in the US running from Feb. 12 to Mar 22 and Stain The Canvas, THE DEFECT, and Heaven.exe in the EU running from April 3 to April 18. Tickets are available here. Fans can pre-order the CD and Vinyl editions now through the FiXT Store with digital pre-orders coming soon.
The album that birthed The Browning’s signature “electronicore” assault: blending rock, metal, hardstyle, trance, and industrial elements with apocalyptic metal intensity, now reaches its ultimate form. Every track has been sharpened, every drop hits harder, and the rave-metal chaos has been elevated to an entirely new dimension. Originally released in 2011, Burn This World marked the arrival of a new sound that fused punishing deathcore with the unrelenting pulse of electronic dance music. With Burn This World [EVOLVED], the album is completely re-recorded, reimagining every detail with modern production power while preserving the raw ferocity that made it a genre-defining release.
“15 years of Evolution has led me to fully recreating Burn This World from scratch. The first [EVOLVED] song, “Not Alone”, is out now and is a perfect representation of what this album is. Heavier breakdowns, higher energy techno, better vocals. VINYLS, CDs, and Shirts are up for pre order! It’s been a long 15 years for me, and I appreciate your support every step of the way. This is for you.” – Jonny McBee (The Browning)
Releasing alongside the digital album, ‘BLOODLUST” [EVOLVED]’ is a complete reworking of The Browning’s original single, rebuilt from the ground up with heightened intensity and a darker, more ominous edge. The single delivers thrashing guitars, mechanical synths, and relentless rhythms that feel both cinematic and brutal. The accompanying red-and-black themed music video leans into a sinister vampire aesthetic, visually reflecting the song’s predatory energy and unrestrained hunger, with one ominous undertone, “We will never die.”
Watch The “BLOODLUST” [EVOLVED] Official Music Video:
The Browning is an electronic metal band founded by Jonny McBee as a solo project in 2005. In 2010 The Browning transitioned into a full band and has toured the world with bands such as Electric Callboy, Static X, Fear Factory, and We Came As Romans. They’ve put out two EPs Standing On The Edge EP (2010), Time Will Tell EP (2011), and five albums, Burn This World (2011) Hypernova (2013), Isolation (2016), Geist (2018), and End Of Existence (2021). The Browning’s current lineup is Jonny McBee and Hardcore Keem.
The Browning has consistently pushed the boundaries of music, fusing genres and redefining heavy sounds. The band’s new line-up sets the stage for an electrifying chapter in their journey. In 2011 on their full-length debut Burn This World, The Browning expanded the boundaries of heavy music through a seamless fusion of industrial, electronic, rock, and metal. In 2013 Hypernova represented a high watermark for the band. Named ‘Album of the Week’ by Revolver, it yielded the signature anthem “Bloodlust,” which clocked over 2.6 million views and nearly 2 million streams. In 2016, they reached another level with Isolation, earning acclaim from outlets such as New Noise Magazine and generating millions of views between “Dragon” and “Disconnect.” The fourth full-length album, Geist, released in 2018, would push The Browning even further into the boundaries of heavy music with added deathcore and techno influences.
End Of Existence released in 2021 would go on to receive generally positive reviews with Dom Lawson of Blabbermouth.net saying, “As ever, if the idea of metal mixed with EDM gives you violent facial tics and a sense of impending doom, End of Existence makes no attempt to make amends or win you over. And nor should it. The Browning have spent a decade pursuing an eccentric and polarizing path, and they still sound like a flash of inspiration brought to life.”
The Browning officially signed to FiXT in late 2023, after collaborating with the label for several years, creating two official remixes for Celldweller and signing a merchandise deal. The band has since released three well received singles with the FiXT. “Poison” which scored placements on Pandora’s AMP: Fresh Cuts, Industrial Metal, New Metal, This year In Metal, New Metal Now; Spotify’s All New Metal,, as well as featured on the WWE. The single currently sits on over 1.5 million streams alone on Spotify since its release. “HIVEMIND” would go on to score placements on Spotify’s All New Metal, New Flesh (Knotfest), and The Core, as well as VEVO’s Incoming Metal. “Deceiver” hit Pandora’s New Metal Now, New Metal (Station), This Year In Metal; Deezer’s Killed By Metal, Deathcore, and Metal Radar, and; Spotify’s All New Metal.
Their sixth full length album OMNI released in November of 2024 followed by OMNI [ULTRA] in 2025. 2025 was an active year for the band with The Browning touring continuously throughout the spring and summer: The OMNI USA Tour, ELECTRONICORE 2025 Tour, the Canadian Tour 2025 with Born Of Osiris and Convictions, the EU SUMMER 2025 Tour, Through Shadows USA Tour with VCTMS, AXTY, and Lost In Separation, BROWN XMAS 2025!, and the EVERYTHING IS HEAVIER IN TEXAS! Tour 2025 with Upon A Burning Body and Lockjaw.
The Browning are already lining up 2026 and have announced the Burn This World [EVOLVED] Tour in both the EU and US. They will be joined by Within Destruction, Convictions, and Dead Eyes in the US running from Feb. 12 to Mar 22 and Stain The Canvas, THE DEFECT, and Heaven.exe in the EU running from April 3 to April 18.
Jonny McBee, vocalist, and songwriter for The Browning, is a trailblazing presence in the metal scene. He is also known for his role as the host and operator of the “Burn This World Podcast,” which is set to make its triumphant return this Fall. He also streams in The Browning Discord channel with fans tuning in to watch his creative process. Jonny is set to embark on a parallel journey, launching a groundbreaking new side project: THE DEFECT. Hardcore Keem, the band’s guitarist, brings his unique vision and sound to The Browning. Originally just a fan of the band, he officially joined The Browning on tour in 2022, now becoming a staple for the band’s future and marketing. Besides being in the band, he’s also a heavy music influencer and promoter with over 300K in social reach, including 100K+ followers on Instagram alone, and runs his own podcast, The Hardcore Keem Show.

From soul and jazz to blues, rock, and fusion, there are few musical landscapes untouched by Robben Ford’s masterful touch. On his latest single, the brass-laced soul ballad ‘Perfect Illusion’, he delivers a performance that feels both radiant and timeless.
This is the second single to be taken from his upcoming new album, Two Shades of Blue, which will be released on 27 March via Provogue/Artone.
“That was written back in 1999 on my own during a period of writing with Michael McDonald,” Ford says. “I went out to get some air and on the gravel driveway, I saw what looked like a jewel. I look closer and it’s a drop of water, reflecting the light. And I thought: ‘Hah, perfect illusion’.”
Loading into Eastcote Studios with engineer George Murphy, the chemistry is palpable, with Ford’s guitar and vocals leading a first-call band that takes in drummer Ianto Thomas (Mark Knopfler), keys man Jonny Henderson (Otis Grand), bassist Robin Mullarkey (Paloma Faith) and a brass section comprising of Paul Booth (saxophone), Ryan Quigley (trumpet) and Trevor Mires (trombone). “Great cats,” smiles Ford. “London has been incredible for finding musicians. This place is loaded, even better for me than Nashville or LA.”
The album opens exquisitely with the brittle groove of its first single. ‘Make My Own Weather’.. “That’s one of my favourite straight-up, slamming blues things I’ve ever written,” says Ford. “It’s about a guy reclaiming his freedom. I tried to create the rumble of a motorcycle with the rhythm guitar.”
Robben Ford is a man in motion. Scan the five-time Grammy nominee’s back catalogue – a half-century hot streak that darts between jazz, rock, fusion and blues – and you’ll find a musician in a constant state of metamorphosis. Spin new album Two Shades Of Blue – a transatlantic modern classic that shapeshifted as the sessions unfolded – and you’ll feel the risks taken and rules broken. “I have that curse,” smiles the 74-year-old guitarist. “I don’t have two records that sound the same…”
Robben feels at the top of his game right now. Two Shades Of Blue was tracked in the US and UK with two different crack-squad bands. The album also features the incredible talents of bassist, Darryl Jones (The Rolling Stones), Keyboardist Larry Goldings and Gary Husband on drums for the instrumental songs, The Fire Flute, The Light Fandango and Feeling’s Mutual.
From his early days, Ford was a special talent. The 60s saw him backing Mississippi harp wizard Charlie Musselwhite and stretching those skills across Los Angeles with jazz giant Jimmy Witherspoon, before he fell in with the fearless adventurism of saxophonist Tom Scott’s esteemed ’70s fusion outfit, The L.A. Express.
That lineup’s blazing skills saw them recruited by Joni Mitchell for two classic albums (“the most formative two years of my musical life”), before Ford stepped out with rock royalty on George Harrison’s Dark Horse tour. That collaborative streak would continue throughout his career, from Bonnie Raitt to Bob Dylan. “I’m out there on the bandstand and this rocket ship takes off,” he recalls of his mid-’80s debut with jazz talisman Miles Davis. “For my solo, I put my head down and played every note I knew, as fast as I could. I look up, and Miles just goes: ‘Yeah’. And I’m like, ‘OK, he likes it’.”
“I still love to play,” he considers. “I’ve kept writing better music and become more acquainted with what it is to make a record. The fact that I’m all over the place musically has confused some people over the years. But I always need a change. I always want to do something different. And I’ve been that way since the very beginning…”

German metal label Massacre Records are proud to announce the long-term re-signing of Swiss hard rock / heavy metal band THE ORDER, further strengthening a collaboration that has now spanned almost 15 years.
Alongside the renewed agreement, Massacre Records also take over the former Massacre catalogue of the band, including three albums, ensuring the continued availability and promotion of THE ORDER’s back catalogue as part of this extended partnership.
Thomas Hertler, label manager at Massacre Records, comments:
“We are working with our Swiss friends of The Order for almost 15 years now. We are happy and proud to renew our collaboration with one of the most energetic live bands around and look forward to their stunning new album to come out soon – see you at the next ROW festival, guys! Keep it up!”
Bruno (THE ORDER) adds:
“We have been working with Massacre for fifteen years now, and we are proud to announce that we have renewed our contract. We look forward to another successful collaboration and thank Thomas and everyone at Massacre for their trust!”
With this renewed commitment, Massacre Records and THE ORDER reaffirm a shared vision built on trust, continuity and a passion for powerful, honest heavy metal – both on record and on stage.
THE ORDER will release their new studio album “Empires” on April 24th, 2026. Musically and lyrically, “Empires” brings together nearly 20 years of the band’s history, reconnecting with the political sharpness and raw energy of their acclaimed debut “Son Of Armageddon” while sounding more relevant and forceful than ever. Produced by V.O. Pulver at Little Creek Studios in Switzerland, the album delivers massive riffs, strong melodies and an unmistakable hard rock / heavy metal backbone.
Alongside the album announcement, THE ORDER also shared an important piece of news: frontman Gianni Pontillo has officially joined legendary Scottish rock band NAZARETH as their new lead singer and will hit the road with them already in February.
Most importantly for fans of THE ORDER, Gianni remains a full-time member of THE ORDER, continuing to front the band and being fully involved in all future recordings and activities. While some live plans for 2026 may require minor adjustments, THE ORDER remain very much alive, active and committed to celebrating their upcoming 20th anniversary with selected shows and a special setlist spanning their entire career.
THE ORDER are: Gianni Pontillo – Vocals Bruno Spring – Guitars Alain Schwaller – Bass Mauro «Tschibu» Casciero – Drums
KLAW is a thrash metal force of nature from Switzerland! Following the success of their album “Gods and Creators,” the band has quickly released an EP entitled “KLAWstrophy…the B-sides of Gods and Creators,” rounding off the creative process. The new single “Dead Eyes” is a labor of love.
Guitarist Pat Müller: “Dead Eyes is a song about dementia – a condition that deeply frightens me as a person. The slowly creeping loss of everything that makes a person who they are, taking away everything they have worked for their entire life. Especially the stage in which the person is still aware of the change, knowing that it is irreversible, is terrifying to me.”
About the song itself: “With Dead Eyes, our goal was to push the boundaries of Thrash Metal while remaining true to our musical roots.”
KLAW is a Metal machine from Switzerland bringing you technical yet melodic modern Thrash with groove, technicality, tempo, amazing riffing and aggressive and varied vocals. The band consists of five experienced and high class musicians eager to show the world a new dimension of what Thrash Metal can be! Aggressive and refined, complex and catchy, dark and profound yet adrenalizing – KLAW will sweep you off your feet and make you bang your head with a high energy live performance!

MUDSLINGER is a breath of fresh air on the Polish metal scene. The group was formed by the Sacharczuk brothers (Cezary – vocals/guitar, Jakub – drums) based in the Warmian-Masurian town of Susz. The duo was completed by Michał Kwaśniak (guitar) and Łukasz Kleszczyński (bass). From the very beginning, the band had a clear goal: powerful sound, honest songs, and playing live without regard for current trends. They combine massive riffs, expressive rhythm, and uncompromising energy, creating music that works equally well on stage and in speakers.
Cezary “Czarol” Sacharczuk is an endorser of the Fryta Guitars brand, while Michał “Kwahu” Kwaśniak collaborates with Merlinka Pickups.
Following the release of the EP “Rogue” (2024), the singles “Wide Awake” and “Bleed,” the band confidently enters 2026, presenting another powerful hit in the form of the single “Way Down“. Łukasz “Dzvon” Cyndzer (Truism, ex-Acid Drinkers) produced the track, showcasing a more mature, heavier, and even more conscious side of the band. An atmospheric music video inspired by the raw aesthetic of Polish gangster cinema from the early 2000s—in the vein of films by Maciej Ślesicki and Olaf Lubaszenko—was produced by Adrian “Klama” Meissner (IT Follows, Shadohm, Patriarkh).
The band comments new song: “Way Down is our new beginning. A new lineup, a new sound, higher quality – and the start of a story we want to tell until the end. The music video for the new composition will open our second EP consisting of four songs. But it’s more than just music. We want you to not only listen, but also soak in the atmosphere of our story. Each clip is a new chapter – dark, dense, and sultry, like a good Netflix crime drama that you binge in one go… and suddenly you realize it’s 3 a.m. ‘Way Down’ is episode one. There are three more to come“.
