Mikko, the singer and founding member of Rylos, commented on the song: ‘Point Cut is a track that hits hard live – it’s an insanely powerful live song.

Australian Metal Titans TERAMAZE have released a brand new video for the new song “SINISTER”, Out Now on All Digital Platforms // Wells Music.
SINISTER is the brain child of all that makes TERAMAZE the band it is today. It captures all of our elements that fans know and love and brings them all the forefront with this exciting new single.
We explore the depth of human depravity and challenge our understanding of how close we are to evil in ourselves, and why we seek forgiveness. It’s monstrous riffs matches the lyrical content, as we deliver an action packed ride from start to finish. The roller coaster continues in the TERAMAZE camp as we continue our campaign of hard hitting singles, with SINSTER leading the charge.” – Nathan Peachey (Vocals)
Mastered by Ted Jensen – Mixed / Produced By Dean Wells
While DAEMONIA NYMPHE work on their forthcoming album, they take a short break to present their experimental project “Witches’ Lullaby: Whispers from the North, South and East”.
This project follows the special EP released in 2021, in which they collaborated with vocal artists Hatis Noit (Japan), Priscilla Hernandez (Spain), Victoria Couper (UK/Portugal) and Rey Yusuf (UK/Turkey) to create a multi-collective soundscape based on the melody of the song of the same name, originally written for the soundtrack of the play Macbeth (in 2016 for the National Theatre of Northern Greece).
They finally complete the initial sound exploration in this second project, with German Joran Elane, Palestinian Enas-Al-Said, British India Blue, British/Portuguese Victoria Couper and British/Turkish Reyhan Yusuf presenting their new takes. Additional artists who lend their voices in the project are Evi Stergiou (of Daemonia Nymphe), Louisa John Krol (Australia) and Stevie Toddler (England). In this composition of improvisations and sound environments of different descents, each artist brings their own linguistic and cultural influences, but also their particular musical identity. A project that invites the listener on a journey of introspection and inner exploration.

This past summer, Italian melodic death-doom force Shores of Null performed a somber and poetic set at one of Europe’s largest metal festivals Hellfest Open Air (Temple Stage) in Clisson, France. They captured the full set and have partnered up with Thunderflix to showcase the performance in its entirety.
Today, they unveil their third clip from the festival for fans to watch for the track “Darkness Won’t Take Me” off their latest and fourth record “The Loss of Beauty” released on Spikerot Records during March 2023.
Vocalist Davide Straccione adds:
“This is the third and last excerpt made available on our YouTube Channel from one of the coolest experiences we had as a band so far. Hellfest was a blast, and we’re happy to relive those moments sharing them with our fans.”

Shores of Null‘s delivered a powerful performance at Hellfest in France this past summer as part of the band’s extensive touring in support of their new album “The Loss of Beauty”.This fourth album follows the acclaimed “Beyond The Shores (On Death And Dying)”, unanimously considered by fans and critics as one of the doom-metal gems of recent years. Both albums were recorded between 2019 and early 2020, and although “The Loss of Beauty” was initially conceived as the band’s third album, ‘Beyond The Shores’ took its place as it better reflected the doom and gloom sentiment of the ‘annus horribilis’ 2020.
Across 11 tracks (plus two bonus tracks), Shores Of Null once again submerges listeners with tempestuous and turbulent riffs. The band continues to hone its sound and take its melancholic dark metal to new heights by mastering an assorted palette of genres with inbred poignancy. The lyrics celebrate beauty in imperfection and transience and are meant to be an invitation to seek beauty in little things, especially those unexpected and ephemeral.
Dark and heavy, tinged with feelings of despair, “The Loss Of Beauty” was released on March 24th, 2023, and recommended for fans of Swallow The Sun, Borknagar, and Paradise Lost.
Following their much-acclaimed 2022-debut album, An End, Once and for All, modern metalcore act HumanKind has surprised fans with a brand new song! While the band is currently gearing up for their sophomore studio album – to be produced, mixed and mastered once again by Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay, Sawdust Recordings) – a music video for the high-voltage, new banger “Fed Up” is now premiering below.
“Fed Up screams right in your face: “It’s enough!”. This song has been written from a deep state of not wanting to endure the same torture and helplessness again and again,“the band comments, and adds: “It’s crucial to break the cycle at the exact point when we’ve decided to pursue new ways and write the next chapter to become the person we ought to be. Fed Up is the musical rethinking of HumanKind in the wake of partly shifting the focus to the more dangerous and wrathful aspects of having to deal with mental issues in our everyday lives.”
Founded in 2022, HumanKind aims to express themselves through their music, reaching others to inspire them and give them the strength to overcome their own limits in unity with others. The five-piece, dressed in the style of modern metalcore, radiates a unique energy with many melodic influences and intense breakdowns, rooted in and shaped by the life experiences of its members.
HumanKind’s debut album,An End, Once and for All, addressed the challenging and deeply human theme of dealing with one’s own mental struggles and conditions. Offering listeners a silver lining on the horizon and to assure them that they are not alone, An End, Once and for All marked a gripping and emotional journey that conveys the message of unity, trust, and creativity. Combining honest passion with the universal language of music, the band aims to empower and encourage listeners to face their own demons. Each song and lyric are profound yet accessible, presented in an intense but also sensitive form.
Now, HumanKind are heavy at work on their second full-length album, set to be released in the hopefully not so distant future via their label ROAR, operating as a sub-label of Reigning Phoenix Music and giving the band new perspectives, greater opportunities, and broader reach for their bright future!
