Florida-based metal juggernauts DETHFX, known as Death’s Favorite Band, have just dropped their latest sonic assault: “Recycled Souls”, the crushing lead single from their upcoming full-length album Recycled Souls. The track is now available on all streaming platforms, delivering a relentless barrage of riffs, groove, and fury that fans of classic and modern metal will feel in their bones.
Watch the full video on YouTube (@dethfx) — a visceral visual experience as intense as the track itself.
Formed in 2021, DethFx exploded onto the scene with a sound that hits like a dump truck barreling off a cliff. Powered by founding members Brett Kaffenberger (bass), Rob Tetro (drums), Rod Mariani (lead guitar), and Raul Salas (vocals/guitar), the band fuses the spirit of Slayer, Pantera, and Iron Maiden with a modern, razor-sharp edge. The result: tight harmonies, thrashing grooves, and technical prowess that stomp the line between chaos and control.
“Recycled Souls” doesn’t just mark the beginning of a new era for DethFx—it’s a battle cry. Heavy, raw, and unapologetically loud, the track is a taste of the full-throttle madness to come on their debut album.
And the band isn’t slowing down. This October, DethFx will join forces with metal legends Kings of Thrash and Gravel for a run of shows across Florida—a tour that promises carnage, volume, and a front-row seat to one of the most exciting new bands in metal.
DETHFX also proudly announces new management under Pamela Parks ofHeadity.com, who brings decades of artist development experience and joins a roster of seasoned artists including David Ellefson (Kings of Thrash, DIETH, Ellefson-Soto), Cultura Tres, Andry, Dead By Wednesday, Kill Devil Hill, and now serves as the band’s booking agent at Continental Touring. With new leadership and a ferocious vision, DethFx is poised to take the metal world by storm.
Swedish modern metal band LIV SIN have signed a worldwide record deal with Seek and Strike for the release of their new album, Close Your Eyes, set for release on 8th August.
Fronted by Liv Jagrell (ex-Sister Sin), LIV SIN blend aggressive riff-driven metal with soaring melodies, steadily building their presence on the international metal scene.
The album’s title track, ‘Close Your Eyes’, is streaming now and offers a first glimpse of what fans can expect from the new album. Tackling the harrowing subject of human trafficking, the song features a guest performance from Lars Palmqvist of Scar Symmetry.The album was mixed by the renowned Tue Madsen, known for his work with Babymetal and Meshuggah.
LIV SIN states: “We chose the album’s title track, ‘Close Your Eyes,’ as the first single/video for mainly two reasons. We got the amazing vocalist, Lars Palmqvist from Scar Symmetry, to join us, and the song has a straight up melodic chorus that everyone was instantly hooked on.
“The song also has a darker edge to it, since it covers the topic of human trafficking. Liv got the idea for the lyrics after watching a documentary about people being tricked into trafficking across eastern Europe.
“In the video, we tried to recreate the feeling of being all alone in a dark room with different strangers coming and going. Liv sings and screams out her inner frustrations reflecting on the world today with a deep longing for a better world.”
Track-list: 1. Praise The Winners 2. Run 3. Close Your Eyes 4. Louder 5. It’s Not Your Life 6. Above The Line 7. The Shadow March 8. Shades Of The Sun 9. Raven 10. I Refuse 11. The Mask 12. Hold It Together
A dynamic five-piece born from the ashes of Sister Sin, LIV SIN deliver a sound steeped in modern metal, melodic hooks and uncompromising intensity. Since their formation, the band has built a reputation for soul-stirring live shows and an authentic connection with fans.
Alongside Liv Jagrell (vocals) are Per Bjevoluk (drums), Daniel Skoglund (bass), Sonny Larsson (lead guitar) and Ante Mäkelä (rhythm guitar), each bringing unique musical influences and personal passions to the table, from painting and folk music to animal rescue, yoga and music education. Their collective energy is channeled into creating cathartic anthems for a global audience.
Rooted deeply in Swedish culture, several members of LIV SIN are dedicated to preserving the nation’s rich tradition of folk music, community art and craftsmanship. Sonny is an accomplished folk guitarist and painter, while Ante works in cultural education, championing the music and arts institutions that have helped define “the Swedish music wonder”. Their love for traditional sounds and storytelling often seeps into their songwriting and creative aesthetic.
Driven by purpose and powered by riffs, LIV SIN are not only forging new paths in heavy music, they’re carrying pieces of Sweden’s cultural soul with them along the way.
Rising hard rock act Gods Of Tomorrow has dropped their latest single, “Fire and Ice,” alongside a lyric video — the second taste of their upcoming debut album Gods Of Tomorrow, due July 11, 2025, via Wormholedeath.
“Fire and Ice” is a searing anthem that rips through the chaos of war, faith, and fate. With crushing riffs, haunting vocals, and a chorus built for stadiums, this track dives deep into the eternal clash of ideals and the battlefield of the soul.
⚔️ “Like fire and ice we’re bleeding for religions…” These lyrics hit hard — reflecting the madness of conflict and the cost of blind devotion. Set against a backdrop of epic melodies and cinematic aggression, Fire and Ice is both a war cry and a warning.
Gods Of Tomorrow is the brainchild of Konstantinos, guitarist and former co-founder of Electrified, whose 2022 debut World on Fire made waves in the rock and metal scene. Driven to push further, he assembled a powerhouse lineup blending trusted collaborators and fresh talent to create a new melodic hard rock force.
Fronted by Felipe Del Valle, whose commanding vocals cut through with clarity and emotion, the band features Rainer Hemmelmann on bass, Cherubini on drums, and Thomy Gunn on guitars — each bringing technical skill and raw passion to the mix. With Konstantinos also on guitar, their sound fuses heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and precision-driven energy.
Together, Gods Of Tomorrow channel the heart of rock and the strength of metal — delivering music that hits hard, stays memorable, and is built for the stage.
Following the emotional impact of his recent single “Into Thin Air”, rock drummer and solo artist Jeff Fabb returns with a gripping new release, “Listen to Hear” — a reflective, introspective track that challenges the listener to go beyond passive hearing and truly listen.
At its core, “Listen to Hear” explores the difference between hearing and listening — between sound and meaning. It’s a call to mindfulness in a world filled with noise. Fabb crafts lyrics that push for internal clarity, focusing on what it means to consciously tune into not only others, but ourselves.
“This song is about being present — not just hearing the world around you, but truly listening to it. Listening to your instincts. Listening to what’s inside. That’s where the answers live.”
– Jeff Fabb
Musically, the track builds on Fabb’s signature fusion of hard rock grit and melodic introspection. Soaring guitars, pulsing rhythms, and haunting vocal melodies evoke comparisons to Alice In Chains, Tool, and Soundgarden — yet the voice and message are unmistakably his own.
The track’s sonic intensity is matched by its lyrical depth. “Listen to Hear” speaks to anyone caught in the chaos of modern life, reminding us that clarity and peace come not from volume, but from intention.
About Jeff Fabb
Jeff Fabb is a revered drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and solo artist whose dynamic career has spanned decades in the rock and metal scenes. Known for his work with iconic bands including In This Moment, Filter, Sixx: A.M., and Black Label Society, Fabb has spent years shaping the sound of heavy music from behind the kit.
His solo work, however, reveals a different side — one of deep introspection, raw emotion, and spiritual searching. In 2023, he released his debut solo album Stealing Souls, praised for blending the power of grunge, alternative, and hard rock with soul-searching lyrics. His 2025 single “Into Thin Air” garnered critical attention for its emotional storytelling and Jeff’s music earned features in Metal Hammer, Rockfeed, The Needle Drop and other respected outlets.
With “Listen to Hear”, Fabb continues his evolution as a solo artist — combining heavy music with thoughtful messaging in a way that resonates long after the final chord fades.
Known for their no-nonsense edge and emotionally charged sound, Love nor Money bring a fresh, uncompromising energy to the label and, to celebrate the new partnership with Golden Robot Records, the band have released their brand-new single ‘Blood Will Tell’. The single’s available to stream now across all major platforms.
‘Blood Will Tell‘ is a potent statement of intent – a defiant anthem that confronts self-entitlement and the toxic desire to see others fail. Built on the belief that genuine talent and patience can cut through the noise.
From the birth place of heavy rock comes Birmingham’s next finest export, Love Nor Money. Two brothers, Bob and Eddie Firth are joined by Troy Weaver on drums to breathe fresh air into an age of music struggling to find an era-defining band. Love nor Money’s mission is simple and clear, to be the band that music lovers have been waiting for.
Formed in 2023, Love nor Money instantly set themselves apart with a fusion of West Midlands-heavy riffs and Mersey-melodic clarity to summon a new dawn of rock that pays ultimate respect to its ancestors. An incendiary back drop of guitars sounding so powerful they could bring down skyscrapers fuel the emotive, relatable lyrics of Bobby Firth’s harrowing vocals.
A clear passion for early blues and 70s rock is unmistakable in Love nor Money’s unique identity pertaining to an authentic retro influence that’s never sounded so current. The debut EP, Shame of Short Lifespan, will take you on a journey of influences from the notorious riffs of Zeppelin, to the groove of the Stones while evidencing a deep lyrical appreciation for the likes of Ray Davies, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits – the band’s dearest lyrical inspirations. “In writing the songs it was important to us from the outset as a band not to subscribe to one emotion. We didn’t want to be known as the band that only wrote sad songs any more so than the band that only wrote happy ones. Life’s not that simple. It’s messy, it changes. One day’s different from the next. That’s what we want to capture in our music, the whole thing, not just a part of it and hopefully the EP conveys that. There are songs of ours that will make you think, songs that will make you laugh and songs that will make you want to dance but what is imperative is that they are all relatable.” – Bobby Firth
’Star quality and sardonic lyrics reminiscent of all the best storytellers of the genre’ – Maximum Volume Music.
From Late Ultimatum, a chilling depiction of those who lost everything during the UK’s recent ‘cost-of-living crisis’ at the merciless hands of profiteering corporations, to ‘Was it Something I Said’ – a poke of fun at cancel culture, Love nor Money cover a broad spectrum of themes with the perfect blend of hurt and wit, dismay and irony. With visions aligned, Love nor Money signed to Golden Robot Records in April 2025. Two further EPs and an eagerly-awaited debut album are planned for the forthcoming 18 months with regular live shows at the heart of the band’s priorities.
CGCM Rock radio: “What a fabulous album. An album of SONGS, with melodies, vocal harmonies and memorable riffs as well. The flow is great as it weaves its way, they obviously didn’t throw them together, they positioned them (the songs) for the highs and lows emotionally of the melodies and lyrics”
Overtone Mag: “This is a phenomenal album!…. this blew all my expectations out of the water! It really is banger after banger….. The band have been going from strength to strength on the live circuit, and this album may quite easily push them up a level or two! A must for an rock fans out there, and an album I’ll be spinning for months to come!”
MetalTalk: “The sound of Summer ’25? Quite possibly. Beyond that, it certainly merits inclusion when followers and commentators alike compile their Album of the Year lists. The performance of a lifetime, so far at any rate. The mind boggles as to where their musical odyssey will yet convey them.”
Liverpool Sound & Vision: “…Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia create havoc and brilliance in equal measure, not content with taking down the smug and ineffectual, they rally all the cause of keeping the genre alive and relevant as we approach the new styled 30s in the distance, a decade which promises musical confusion and declared non-human authorship if we permit it. A cracking, thumping album from a grand pair working towards rock royalty.”
Rockposer.com: “There’s no doubt that Star Circus have the ammunition. The song writing is of a very high standard, especially in the first half of the album. Slightly quirky, part hard rock, part power pop, but all infectious melodies, vocals and harmonies. Perfect ingredients.”

‘From The Wreckage’ sees the band take a huge step forward, pushing boundries and themselves, and the end result is an absolutely storming rocker of an album that’s guaranteed to delight fans and gain many more!
Dave comments on the new album:
“Feeling invigorated following the positive response to our first album and many national tours, we set aside the first half of 2024 to write and record our second album as a band. However, most of last year proved to be a challenging time for us. Cancellations, lineup and management issues plagued us, along with fear and disbelief at the state of the world in general.
As a consequence, ‘From The Wreckage’ is definitely a heavier, darker and more aggressive beast both lyrically and musically than it’s predecessor. On the other hand there’s definitely both light and shade, and a positive outlook depicted in the title; that we’re coming back stronger than ever. First and foremost, we’re really proud of all the songs, but it’s also a landmark in our evolution from our little project into a fully-fledged rock n’ roll animal!” Star Circus are a London-based rock band led by Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia Young, influenced by classic rock artists including Queen, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, Def Leppard and Alice Cooper.
The band was formed in 2019 by frontman Dave, who’s songwriting caught the attention of radio legend Tony Wilson. The pair worked together on creating the debut album ‘Separate Sides’ which Tony produced, and was released in December 2022 to an overwhelmingly positive critical response.
Following the album release and several UK tours supporting a host of international acts, the Star Circus lineup has now become a collaborative band-project, with other musicians contributing to the songwriting. As well as the added influences of other songwriters, the new album also features various accomplished guest guitarists including Tom Draper (ex Carcass, Spirit Adrift) and Ritchie Mohicano (Dobermann), and the notable addition of Sophie’s vocals (including lead vocals on Masquerade). The band also landed a global distribution deal with the Arizona-based record label Renaissance Records. Their sophomore album “From The Wreckage” is out now and is available on all the popular streaming and download platforms, on CD and vinyl. “Possessing an eclectic range of influences stretching from classic hard rock, through AOR, 80s Glam Metal, 90s American power pop… these fuse faultlessly to form a sound that is stacked full of infectious melodies, grandiose vocal and instrumental harmonies plus colossally catchy choruses” – Sophie James, METALTALK
