To support the release, Kingdom Collapse will hit the road on the ‘Back to Life Tour’ alongside Hinder and Saliva, kicking off February 17th and running through March 15th.

SEVEN SPIRES celebrate the five year anniversary of their acclaimed album ‘Emerald Seas’ with a re-recorded version of “The Road”, which is accompanied by a music video.
“The Road”, originally only released as a bonus track on the Japan edition of ‘Emerald Seas’, has now been revitalized with new recording, mixing, and mastering as well as featuring Dylan Gowan’s drumming on a recorded SEVEN SPIRES song for the first time.
About the re-recorded version of “The Road”, the band comments:
“‘The Road’ was a very fun and special song that was originally the exclusive bonus track for the Japanese release of our second album, ‘Emerald Seas’. It’s hard to believe it, but now, for the album’s 5-year anniversary, we wanted to give a facelift and update to this track and release it for the rest of the world to enjoy.
“Aside from a couple of orchestral and keyboard parts, this version of ‘The Road’ is entirely re-recorded, remixed, and remastered, including Dylan Gowan’s fantastic drumming for the first time on a recorded SEVEN SPIRES song. It’s a fitting one, because Dylan basically jumped in the deep end with our recent show schedule, and as you can see from the accompanying video we put together for the release, it’s been nothing but a blast having him on tour with us!
“It’s a fast-paced, technically-challenging, super uplifting anthem celebrating the shared joy of live metal shows, and we hope you love our new version of ‘The Road’ as much as we loved making it for you.”
SEVEN SPIRES is an American symphonic metal band. Since their inception in 2013 at Berklee College of Music, these best friends have forged their home in the darker corners of the melodic metal world. Known for their penchant for pushing genre limits, they draw influence from across the spectrum of metal and beyond, reaching ravenously into jazz, late Romantic-era orchestral music, and cinematic soundscapes.
To support the release of their fourth studio LP, ‘A Fortress Called Home’, via Frontiers Music Srl on June 21st, 2024, SEVEN SPIRES toured on three continents: first in Europe as direct support to Skálmöld with Atavistia as first support, then in North America directly supporting Kamelot with Ad Infinitum also featured on the bill. To end 2024, SEVEN SPIRES embarked on their first-ever headlining tour of Japan with Lords of the Trident.
In 2025, SEVEN SPIRES is slated to perform at Wacken Open Air and Rock in Rautheim in Germany, Leyendas del Rock in Spain, and Legions of Metal in the United States.
The band’s previous touring history includes North America with Eluveitie and Omnium Gatherum in 2023, Europe with Twilight Force and Silver Bullet in 2023, as well as North America with Dragonforce, Firewind, and Visions of Atlantis in 2022. They have also performed at prestigious metal festivals, such as 70000 Tons of Metal, Metaldays, ProgPower USA, and Mad With Power Fest, where they played a sold-out, nearly two-hour headline show in 2023.

The band formed in 2020, debuting their self-titled album in 2021. After overcoming challenges, including guitarist Drew Fortier’s successful cancer recovery, they kept delivering new music, including collaborations with Violent J (Insane Clown Posse) and a bold cover of Faith No More’s Epic, reimagined as “Sweet Toof.”
With a unique fusion of power, thrash, and traditional heavy metal, Ottawa, Canada’s Lycanthro unleash their highly anticipated second albumRemnants of Rapture on May 23, 2025 via US-based label Psychomanteum Records. Delivering an epic soundscape that’s as bold as it is unforgettable, ushering in a new era for the band, Lycanthro’s 10-track metal attack builds on their critically acclaimed 2021 debut album Mark of the Wolf, which showcased powerful storytelling, dynamic arrangements, and even collaborations with a chamber choir. Lycanthro has hunted on stages such as ‘Power Metal Quest Fest’ in the UK, ‘Legions of Metal’ in Chicago, and is fast inviting a worldwide audience to join the pack. The band draws inspiration from the likes of Savatage,W.A.S.P., Blind Guardian, and more. Proudly hunting in the world of true metal, the lyrical and musical imagery of Lycanthro calls out to the realms of classic horror, pop culture, and mythology in a journey through tales of personal struggle and howling victory.
Featuring guest performances from Laura Guldemond (Burning Witches) and Stu Block (Into Eternity, ex-Iced Earth), Remnants of Rapture is a statement of purpose for Lycanthro, marking their territory as a force to be reckoned with. Shredding guitars, memorable hooks, and soaring vocals highlight an album which will firmly put Lycanthro out there on the metal map for everyone to recognize. With every note, Lycanthro proves that the howl never dies, the hunt never ends, and the night is never quiet. IN METAL WE TRUST!

Legendary rock band TESLA has unveiled the electric version of the music video for their latest single, “All About Love.” The track is part of their All About Love EP, which is now available as a special edition release on limited collector’s 12″ vinyl.
What you will hold in your hands is a one of a kind collectors edition 12” VINYL EP that showcases TESLA’s new song “All About Love” in the three formats that TESLA the band is famously known for: ELECTRIC, ACOUSTIC, and LIVE performances. Multiple versions of this new song are presented here on this EP.
Music lovers will state that a great “song” will sound great played in any of these formats, so TESLA’s Brian Wheat and Frank Hannon have teamed up to produce this 12” Vinyl EP of their new single “All About Love” showcasing these different versions of the song.
Captured by Brian Wheat in his upstate NY recording studio, there is an electric version that shows how the band performs the song in full force, as well as two stripped down acoustic versions that showcase the dynamics of his mixes. Thus, Jeff Keith’s heartfelt lyrics about sharing love can be felt and to honor TESLA’s tradition of adding an acoustic instrumental to their love ballads, Frank Hannon recorded here a new classically influenced acoustic guitar solo piece titled “From The Heart” that is a nod to their 1987 hit “Love Song”.
Furthermore, to present the “live in concert” element of TESLA, a rendition of “All About Love” segues into James Gang’s classic song “Walk Away”, both were recorded live at a Las Vegas concert earlier this year. They are included here as bonus tracks!
Throughout their nearly 40 year career, TESLA the band has performed diligently showing their prowess in these diverse environments. Both their electric and acoustic formats are received with love and acceptance by their loyal fanbase and TESLA the band is still selling out concerts to this day.
So put on your headphones or crank up your sound system to enjoy this audiophile vinyl treat; the ALL ABOUT LOVE E.P. with special edition single on a Limited Collectors 12″ vinyl.

That they are still roaring and soaring should be no surprise. That’s just how they are built. TESLA may have been born in the mid-80s, but their bluesy, soulful sound is strongly embedded in the roots of organic, authentic, 1970s rock and roll. The same roots that produced bands like Bad Company, Grand Funk Railroad, AC/DC, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith.
The ground started shaking in Sacramento, CA, in 1984; gold country that would soon be producing some platinum. They started out as City Kidd, until a suggested name change to TESLA, honoring the eccentric inventor Nikola Tesla who pioneered all things electrical. Their 1986 platinum debut album, Mechanical Resonance, included Top 40 hits “Modern Day Cowboy” and “Little Suzi.” 1989’s double-platinum The Great Radio Controversy included hits “Heaven’s Trail (No Way Out)” and “Love Song”. Suddenly, TESLA, who had been touring with bands such as Def Leppard and David Lee Roth, earned headlining status. In 1990, TESLA helped reshape the face of modern rock music by stripping down to the Five Man Acoustical Jam, an informal collection of their biggest hits peppered with rock and roll classics by the Beatles, Stones, and others. This album produced their biggest hit single to date, a cover of Five Man Electrical Band’s“Signs.” Other 90s albums from TESLA include platinum selling Psychotic Supper and Bust a Nut. The band continues to record and release material including 9 new albums since 2000.
TESLA’s legacy is alive and well as they continue to record and sellout venues all over the world. As comfortable, rugged, and dependable as your favorite pair of boots, they endure. TESLA is a celebration of the greatest spirits of rock and roll.

EX DEO, the Juno-nominated project of KATAKYLSM frontman Maurizio Iacono, have released a lyric video for ‘Otho.’ The song is taken from their critically acclaimed EP “Year Of The Four Emperors.” The EP was released last month on CD and digital and has now received a limited edition release on clear vinyl.
The tale of Otho is one of fractured loyalty and inevitable tragedy. Opening with an ominous lament, the song erupts into a battle cry as Otho schemes to claim the throne. His confrontation with Vitellius at the Battle of Bedriacum is rendered in blistering tempo and agonized growls, evoking the blood-soaked fields. As Otho faces defeat and chooses suicide over prolonged strife, the song slows to a mournful dirge, a tribute to his fleeting grasp on destiny.
