Today, after a 17 year hiatus, COLEPITZ return with their brand new single, “End of Everything.” Driven by founding members Rob Korhonen and Ray Suhy, the band is now rounded out by Shane Kinney, an early collaborator from the origins of COLEPITZ.
“End of Everything” was built in collaboration with Grammy award winning singer and songwriter Dave Gutter and mixed by renowned producer Sky Van Hoff (Sleep Token). The new track arrives alongside a lyric video premiering on The PRP, available to view below.
Vocalist Rob Korhonen shares:
“‘End of Everything’ is our first new drop in 17 years. Nobody gets eased in. The song is a list of things already lost — the prayer, the dog at the gates, the child, the king, the god.”
Finnish rock band THE 69 EYES is thrilled to announce the release of the new EP “I Survive”, out now via BLKIIBLK.
The new track “In The Misery”, along with an official visualizer, is also available now.
Jyrki 69 commented: “That is biker rock by The 69 Eyes! Sons Of Anarchy was the biggest tv show those days when we recorded that track and naturally inspired us a lot too. That was recorded with Slayer & Megadeth producer Matt Hyde in LA in 2009”.
Once you’ve survived the 80’s rock scene, you become unstoppable – and The 69 Eyes are living proof. Formed in Helsinki in 1989 and still going strong with the same line-up some four decades later, the Helsinki Vampires have earned their legendary status.
In a world with fewer and fewer true believers in leather jackets, midnight sunglasses and low-slung guitars, The 69 Eyes keep the Johnny Thunders’ flame burning like an endless sleazy club night back in the days.
Their biggest hit, “Lost Boys”, from 2005, was made into an iconic music video by MTV’s Jackass star and skater Bam Margera and the song still remains on annual Halloween rock playlists.
One foot on glam, another one on goth, The 69 Eyes have released thirteen albums, reaching gold and platinum and a mainstream status in their native Finland, where they are signed to Gabi Hakanen’s Vallila Music House. Their previous studio album “Death Of Darkness” was released in 2023, and they have been touring without any notable breaks all over the world the last twenty years.
Vocals, a lead and a rhythm guitar, a bass and drums are the classic rock band line-up. The 69 Eyes have that magic on stage that is needed for these elements to carry on beyond the rock’n’roll dreams, theirs and their cult following.
“I Survive” EP Tracklist:
1. I Survive (ft. Steve Stevens) 2. Cold Sweat 3. In The Misery 4. Devil’s Rose (ft. Ed Mundell)
THE 69 EYES are: Jyrki 69 – vocals Bazie – guitar, backing vocals Timo-Timo – guitar Archzie – bass, backing vocals Jussi 69 – drums
Massachusetts metalcore band Provenance have released their powerful new single, “Broken Bonds,” alongside an accompanying music video that brings the song’s themes of betrayal, abandonment, and emotional turmoil to life.
Released via Arson Theory, the four-piece metalcore band from Fitchburg, Massachusetts, formed in 2025 and has quickly begun carving out its place in the modern heavy music scene with an aggressive sound.
At the heart of “Broken Bonds” is a deeply personal message about being left behind when support is needed most. The song’s emotional centerpiece arrives in the lyric, “You watched the whole world fall around me,”which perfectly captures the song’s central theme of feeling abandoned by someone who was expected to stand by your side.
“‘You watched the whole world fall around me’ heavily reinforces the overall feeling of this song and what it’s about being let down and abandoned by someone you counted on for support,” says the band.
With “Broken Bonds,” Provenance continue to establish themselves as a promising new voice in the metalcore scene, delivering music that resonates with listeners facing their own struggles with loss, disappointment, and fractured relationships.
“Broken Bonds” and its official music video are available now on all major streaming and video platforms.

Following the release of their debut single “Anqa | عنقاء”, Bahrain’s death metal project ZVINDIYAR continue the buildup to their forthcoming debut full-length album with the release of a new single, “Fell”, while also revealing further details of the record.
“Fell sits at the center of the story; not a beginning or an end, but a breaking point. It embodies collapse: a force that doesn’t arrive, it unfolds. A figure of ruin, where form gives way and something darker takes hold.” – says the band
ZVINDIYAR blends dark, cinematic atmosphere with ambient death metal, rooted in Persian and Arabic mythological themes. Built around a strong visual identity and concept, the project aims for both sonic and aesthetic impact beyond typical releases. Members bring extensive live and recording experience, including major international stage performances.
US heavy rock outfit SPIRIT MOTHER have announced the release of their third studio album, Thistle, due out on September 4, 2026 via Sound Of Liberation Records. Written, self-recorded and self-produced in the creaking attic of Armand and SJ Lance’s century-old cabin in the high desert of Burns, Oregon, the album captures the spirit of the remote landscape the band now calls home.
A direct reflection of life in Eastern Oregon’s vast and windswept outback, Thistle sees SPIRIT MOTHER fully realizing the sonic direction hinted at on its acclaimed predecessor Trails. Combining the band’s signature dynamic intensity, fuzz-drenched heaviness and grunge-infused rock with a haunting sense of Americana melancholy, the album offers their most immersive and personal work to date. From blistering desert horizons and abandoned ghost towns to the sounds of rattlesnakes, wild horses and open prairie, Thistle translates the environment surrounding the band into a rich and cinematic musical experience.

Originally formed in Long Beach, California and now based in the rural Pacific Northwest, SPIRIT MOTHER have carved out a distinctive place within the modern heavy rock landscape. Their sound blends folk-informed songwriting, atmospheric strings, haunting vocal harmonies and crushing rock dynamics into a style that is both expansive and deeply emotional.
Following the release of their sophomore album Trails, the band spent 2024 and 2025 relentlessly touring throughout the United States and Europe, including appearances at Desertfest New York, Levitation Festival, Rock Im Wald, Blue Moon Festival, Berg Herzberg, Festival Kult and Hoflärm. Along the way, they have shared stages with acclaimed acts such as All Them Witches, Graveyard, King Buffalo, Weedeater, Acid King, Melvins, Blackwater Holylight and LA Witch.
Returning home after extensive touring, the band dedicated themselves to writing and recording Thistle entirely on their own terms. The result is an album that captures both the isolation and beauty of their surroundings while pushing SPIRIT MOTHER‘s unique blend of heavy rock, Americana and psychedelic influences further than ever before.
