FROM ASHES TO NEW are serving up their current single “Die For You,” from the recently-released album REFLECTIONS, out now via Better Noise Music, with an exhilarating twist.
The new version features guest vocals from Neoni, the alt-pop sister duo behind the self-proclaimed motto “sisters who argue and write songs.”
“Die For You,” which enjoyed a viral moment as the band took a firm and active stance against bullying, climbing the Active Rock Charts and currently sits at No. 15. The song is the follow up to “Drag Me,” the band’s first-ever No. 1 at rock radio.
The band took an active stance against bullying, which demonstrated the depth of their connection with their fans. The band posted a video of one of their fans singing “Die For You” at a show, and noticed bullying comments being made towards the fan and immediately leapt to her defense. Brandyberry doubled down and addressed this behavior from the stage, reinforcing the fact that the band will not tolerate such antics. The band also reached out to the fan and promised her lifetime guest lists to their shows.
The track is now available as a new version where the sisters’ voices offer a stunning sonic counterpoint to those of vocalists Matt Brandyberry and Danny Case, further amplifying the song’s moody melodies and emotional heft.
“Neoni has such a unique identity and brings an energy to their music that we really love,” states Brandyberry. “‘Die For You’ felt like the perfect opportunity to bring our separate sides of the alternative worlds together and create something that feels fresh, emotional, and uniquely ours.”
Neoni echo the excitement, saying, “It was such a pleasure to work with everyone in From Ashes to New to add our perspective to such an incredible song. We had so much fun and we can’t wait for you to hear it.”
FROM ASHES TO NEW — Danny Case (vocals), Matt Brandyberry (vocals), Lance Dowdle (guitar), Maty Madiro (drums), and Jimmy Bennett (guitar) — will remain on the road all year, with a massive touring schedule planned. All confirmed FATN tour dates are below.

Celebrating a creative renaissance in 2026, multi-platinum pop-punk royalty Yellowcard brighten up a banner year with the release of their brand new, digital-only Deluxe Edition of Better Days on September 18 via Better Noise. Teasing this expanded version, the group also just served up a new and and previously unreleased song, entitled “Calvary Drive,” out now.
Pre-order/Pre-save Better Days (Deluxe Edition)here.
“Calvary Drive” finds Yellowcard firing on all cylinders yet again. It bursts to life with driving guitars, infectious hooks, and the kind of kinetic energy that’s become the band’s trademark. It culminates on an anthemic chorus spiked with a sunny melody and showcases every bit of what fans have come to love and expect from the four-piece.
“‘Calvary Drive’ was the very first demo we worked on with Travis Barker and our friend Nick Long,” says singer Ryan Key. “We were just getting a feel for working together over a weekend and had no idea that this idea would be the spark for what became Better Days. It’s fun to listen back now and hear where we started, and how much the sound evolved from there.”
Barker fondly recalls the experience as “such an easy project and easy group of guys to make music with,” with the whole band fully invested in the process: “Everyone in the band was really active and really a part of everything in the studio.” One song became another, a day became weeks, and before long an entire record had emerged from a collaboration that was never originally intended to go that far. “Next thing you know it was like we’re getting back in the studio and we were scheduling weeks to work with each other and recorded an entire album.” What began as Travis Barker simply jumping in for a day had organically become the album Better Days. And it’s that partnership that blossomed into a collaboration with another legacy hitmaker: Avril Lavigne.
“My friend Travis [Barker] called me up to say he was producing the new Yellowcard album and I really liked what I heard,” Lavigne shared. “When he played me ‘You Broke Me Too,’ I liked how it can be an anthem people can relate to when finding hope after a relationship.” The pairing felt particularly fitting: a song conceived in the spirit of the huge, emotionally charged ballads that helped define the early 2000s ultimately brought together two artists synonymous with that era, with Barker acting as the bridge between them.
The new material notably lands in the wake of the cross-generational phenomenon “Bedroom Posters” (Feat. Blippi). The reimagined track landed looks from Rock Sound and New Noise Magazine, who applauded how, “This version of the song preserves the original’s high-spirit energy and Blippi adds his own distinctive spark to it.” “Bedroom Posters” marked their second collab with Blippi following “Go Go Go.”
At the top of the year, the band teamed up with Good Charlotte for the first collaborative version of “Bedroom Posters.” Popping off as a match made in pop-punk heaven, it tallied 2.6 million Spotify streams and vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart. A piece on Consequence applauded how “the song finds Key trading vocals with Good Charlotte’s Joel Madden,” while Rolling Stone put it best: “It’s the collaboration made in pop-punk dreams.”
Two #1 singles coming from the one album, this signals not only a return to form, but a undeniable triumph; a band that still cuts through the noise nearly three decades into their career.

ABOUT YELLOWCARD: Yellowcard meant it when they said goodbye. The lights dimmed on one of the most beloved pop-punk and alt-rock bands of the 2000s with intention and authenticity. Wrapping things up with a farewell tour, Yellowcard exited the “right” way, with grace, appreciation, and finality. But the story wasn’t complete. Legacy cracked the door. Healing blew it wide open. Riding a resurgence that saw the global Ocean Avenue 20th anniversary tour featured in Forbes and a reconciliation that put all four members at peace with their legacy and each other, Yellowcard made the most ambitious and emotionally resonant record of their career. Better Days, the band’s first album in nearly a decade, was produced by blink-182’s Travis Barker, who also played drums on every track. Their first release with powerhouse label Better Noise Music, Better Days is Yellowcard’s testimony that healing is a process, growth is nonlinear, and sometimes the best chapter opens after the supposed ending. This isn’t just a return. It’s a reckoning. And this time, Yellowcard is ready.

The Swiss Celtic folk ’n’ roll band THE GREEN GOBLINS release “Whiskey, Tequila, Vodka & Beer”, the first lead single from their self-titled debut album (out on October 2nd at Metalville).
‘Whiskey, Tequila, Vodka & Beer’ is a high-energy party track built for loud nights, good friends and unforgettable moments. Blending catchy melodies, a rebellious attitude and pure rock’n’roll spirit, the song delivers the perfect soundtrack for every bar, festival and latenight celebration. Raise a glass, turn up the volume and let the good times roll.
A guitar, a violin, a bagpipe – that’s how the story of THE GREEN GOBLINS began in 2017. As a street music band in the Switzerland–Germany–France border region, they quickly made a name for themselves with their unique blend of traditional Irish folk, infectious energy and a musical style all of their own.
The streets gave way to the stages: With their explosive live shows, powerful melodies and boundless enthusiasm, THE GREEN GOBLINS conquered pubs, festivals, medieval markets and concert halls far beyond their home region. In the process, they developed their own style – a blend of Irish tradition, modern rock elements and epic songs, which they themselves describe as ‘Celtic Folk ’n’ Roll’.
Over time, the band’s sound evolved: electric violin meets guitar, drums and bass. This gave rise to the unmistakable sound of The Green Goblins – raw, energetic and boundless. Their debut EP ‘Arandore’ was followed by further singles and music videos, including ‘Roll On’, and the band continued to develop their sound.
Today, The Green Goblins are among the most exciting exponents of modern Celtic Folk ’n’ Roll and thrill their audiences with up to 50 concerts a year in Switzerland, Germany and Alsace.
And now THE GREEN GOBLINS are embarking on their next big chapter: their self-titled debut album, “The Green Goblins”, is due for release on 2 October 2026 via Metalville
With new songs, an unmistakable sound and the energy of a band ready to tear the place apart, THE GREEN GOBLINS are gearing up to conquer the world’s stages.

MASTER and Hammerheart Records presents the pre-orders and first single for “Among the Seeds of Death”! Delivering old school Death Metal at its purest! Available on CD, LP (various vinyl colors, comes with an A2 poster), MC and T-Shirt!
Listen to the first single “Twas Always a Plan” on all streaming platforms now!
Master has always been a musical definition of anachronism for many of us and rightfully so. No matter which trend is or was hip, Paul Speckmann stretched off his middle-finger to that and did his usual mixture of Death Metal and intense Thrash Metal, that created a new genre in the late 80’s.
Finnish post-metallers & Agonia Records recent signees SEES unveil details of their debut studio album, “Suoja”. The release is set for November 20th in physical & digital formats, with the lead single coming up in September.
“Suoja” (which translates to “shelter”) is the outcome of years of distilled dedication – a definitive statement from a fresh band determined to leave its mark.
Introducing SEES, the core of their debut album is built on the dynamic interplay between aggressive heaviness and atmospheric soundscapes. Finnish lyrics, delivered mostly through screams, combine with distinctive and ambitious music to invite listeners to slow down, concentrate, and challenge themselves – a deliberate counterpoint to a culture of throwaway content and quick thrills.
The band found its form as the album took shape, drawing on years of experience across different Finnish alternative acts. Working with producer Tuomas Kokko (Swallow the Sun, Ghost Brigade, Sara, Luna Kills, Timo Rautiainen & Trio Niskalaukaus, among others), SEES recorded and refined “Suoja” over an extended period, carefully fitting every piece into place.The band comments: “We are very excited to finally share Suoja with everyone. The process was long and shaped the band into what it is today: a hungry and motivated group looking to take the next step on its path. This is a showcase of our ambition and stubbornness, having gone through some volatile times to get an album we’re proud of out there.”
SEES (Finnish for “serene” or “calm”) was founded in 2024 by seasoned musicians (Surut, Junktone, Skein, Vala, Pofony). “Years of combined experience with released music and touring has clarified for us what we want to pursue with Sees,” reflects the band. “The core of our Finnish-language, scream-led music is built around the dynamics of aggressive heaviness and atmospheric soundscaping.”
The band is recommended for fans of Cult of Luna, Amenra, Converge, Isis, Russian Circles, Nine Inch Nails etc.
Following the successful reissue of Fighting Back earlier this year, Deko Entertainment proudly announces the return of another essential chapter in the legacy of Paul Di’Anno’s Battlezone with the fully remastered and repackaged release of Children of Madness.
Known worldwide as the original voice of Iron Maiden, Paul Di’Anno helped define the sound of one of heavy metal’s most influential bands. After departing Iron Maiden, Di’Anno refused to rest on past achievements and instead launched Battlezone, a hard-hitting new project that showcased his unmistakable vocals and relentless energy. The band’s debut album, Fighting Back (1986), reintroduced Di’Anno to the metal world with a renewed sense of purpose and aggression.
Just one year later, Battlezone returned with their sophomore effort, Children of Madness, originally released in August 1987. Recorded at Village Recorders in Dagenham, East London, and produced by Ian Richardson, the album featured a revamped lineup and a broader songwriting approach that expanded the band’s musical horizons.
While Fighting Back is often celebrated as Battlezone’s definitive release, many fans regard Children of Madness as a hidden gem within Di’Anno’s post-Maiden catalog. The album blended the raw power of British heavy metal with a more melodic and accessible sound, without sacrificing the intensity that made Di’Anno a metal icon. Tracks such as the title cut, “Children of Madness,” showcased thunderous riffs, memorable hooks, and darker lyrical themes that continue to resonate with fans nearly four decades later.
Now, as the album approaches its 40th anniversary, Deko Entertainment has given Children of Madness the deluxe treatment. This new edition has been fully remastered and repackaged for collectors and longtime fans alike and will be available on 180-gram vinyl in two limited-edition color variants as well as on CD. Both formats include the bonus tracks “To The Limit” and “Down Under.”
Nearly forty years after its original release, Children of Madness remains an important and often-overlooked entry in the history of 1980s heavy metal, capturing a unique moment in the evolution of one of the genre’s most recognizable voices.
