The self-titled debut album by the Swiss Celtic folk ’n’ roll band THE GREEN GOBLINS is due for release on 2 October via Metalville.
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.

Finnish atmospheric art rock band Cosmic Revival released a new single ‘No Room For Mistakes’. LISTEN to the single on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/cosmic-revival-no-room
The band comments:
“Built from the start on organic interplay between the musicians, the song reflects our belief as a band that music is at its strongest when it grows from genuine interaction, shared dynamics, and the chemistry between musicians. While our debut single, ‘Hairy Mary’, introduced more of the layered storytelling and literary influences we have, ‘No Room for Mistakes’ broadens our musical palette without losing the atmosphere that has been defining our sound. The result is a song driven by tight musicianship, expressive dynamics, and an irresistible groove. We are very happy with that result!”
–Composed & arranged by Hannele Juhala, Vesa Toivola, Mikko Lehtinen, Jani Lundell –Lyrics by Mikko Lehtinen –Mixed & mastered by Teemu Liekkala –ISRC: CAENV2655525 –Single cover by Jani Lundell
BIOGRAPHY:
Cosmic Revival is a band that creates atmospheric, groove-driven art rock that moves between intensity and restraint. Their sound is built on layered instrumentation and a strong sense of narrative.
The songs unfold in an imaginative space where characters act as both symbols and stories. Drawing from literature and emotional archetypes, the music forms a world where meaning is not explained, but discovered.
Rather than aiming for immediacy, Cosmic Revival invites listeners into a sustained mood, something to return to as well as experience collectively.
Line-up: Hannele Juhala – Vocals Vesa Toivola – Bass Jani Lundell – Guitar Mikko Lehtinen – Drums
Progressive instrumental metal trio 7Keys present the official music video for “Voidwalkers,” a track from their album Gæa, available now via Wormholedeath.
“Voidwalkers” draws the listener in through intricate guitar work, evocative melodies, and a compositional balance that reflects the band’s technical mastery of the genre. The track is a strong example of what Gæa delivers across its runtime: instrumental metal that is precise without being sterile, and melodic without sacrificing weight.
The story of 7Keys began with guitarist Márcio Teixeira, whose passion for heavy metal started at just six years old. Although initially considered too young to learn electric guitar, his determination remained constant. After years of self-teaching, Teixeira refined his skills under the mentorship of internationally recognised guitarist Paulo Barros. It was during this period, while performing in a musical production in Portugal, that he met bassist Igor Rodrigues, laying the foundations for what would become 7Keys.
Drawing inspiration from the melodic power and energy associated with bands such as Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, and Iron Maiden, 7Keys have developed a sound rooted in strong identity and musical storytelling.
The album Gæa stands as a compelling statement of intent: melodic metal driven by intricate musicianship, atmospheric textures, and compositions designed to stay with the listener long after the final note. Each track opens a new chapter in the band’s evolving sonic world, balancing technical excellence with genuine emotional resonance.
Following years of relentless evolution, New York’s avant-garde black metal visionaries KRALLICE have unveiled “Living Useless Ritual”, the first single from their forthcoming full-length album “Scour Order”, set for release on September 18 via Profound Lore Records.
Serving as the first glimpse into the album’s formidable sonic landscape, “Living Useless Ritual” channels KRALLICE‘s unmistakable blend of labyrinthine riffcraft, unrelenting intensity, and fearless experimentation, offering a first taste of the dark and expansive world explored throughout “Scour Order”.
With “Scour Order”, KRALLICE return to Profound Lore Records, the label that released the band’s first three albums, while revisiting aspects of their classic dual-guitar approach in a new chapter of their ever-evolving sound.
Formed in 2007 in Woodhaven, Queens, New York City, KRALLICE began as a collaboration between guitarists Colin Marston and Mick Barr, initially conceived as a black metal recording project. Following the release of their self-titled debut in 2008 with drummer Lev Weinstein, the project quickly evolved into a full band with the addition of Nicholas McMaster on bass and vocals.
Across twenty full-length albums and EPs, KRALLICE have continuously expanded the boundaries of black metal through dense, polyphonic compositions and an uncompromising spirit of experimentation. While their early releases established the band’s signature blend of technical precision and relentless intensity, subsequent works increasingly embraced atmospheric textures, unconventional songwriting, synthesizers, and shifting instrumental roles. Beginning with “Loum” in 2017, which introduced collaborations with Dave Edwardson (NEUROSIS), and continuing through the synth-heavy, lineup-shifting explorations of “Demonic Wealth” and its successors, KRALLICE steadily broadened their sonic identity without sacrificing the complexity at the core of their sound.
Tracklist:
01. Agonal Shining 02. Grievous Corrector 03. Kill the Guardian 04. Unceasing Path 05. Living Useless Ritual 06. Indecipherable Divinities 07. Her Green Arms 08. Scour Order
For the new album, “Scour Order”, KRALLICE returns to the old instrumentation with Colin and Mick on guitars and McMaster on bass, but Colin’s vocals have stuck around. The new album is raging and dark, dense but also expansive. It marks both a return to familiar foundations and a continuation of the band’s ongoing evolution.
Coinciding with the release of “Scour Order”, KRALLICE will embark on their first European tour. Although the band has historically prioritized writing and recording over extensive touring, they have shared stages with Wolves in the Throne Room, Gorguts, Portal, Ludicra, Withered, Vampillia, Pale Chalice, and most recently Blood Incantation, while also appearing at festivals including Maryland Deathfest, Incubate, and Roadburn, where the new material received its live premiere at the 2026 edition.
