Dutch symphonic metal band BLACKBRIAR announce their brand new album A Thousand Little Deaths, which will be released on August 22nd 2025 viaNuclear Blast Records. Together with this exciting news the band shares their new single ‘The Fossilized Widow‘. The single channels the eerie spirit of the Victorian era, blending the mysticism of Ouija boards with the brooding passion of Wuthering Heights. A journey through dark love, spectral forces, and gothic intrigue. From October 2025 you can see BLACKBRIAR performing their new songs on their headline tour across Europe. All dates are listed below.
Zora Cock comments: “The Fossilized Widow tells the story of a girl frozen in time, desperately holding on to someone she can never let go. She’s slowly descending into madness by all those words left unsaid, all those questions left to be asked. As the years pass, her home has turned into ruins, yet the legend says she still remains, trapped in her sorrow, waiting and watching. They call her The Fossilized Widow”
Finnish progressive death metal band Sargassus is set to release their debut album ‘Vitruvian Rays’, out in June 13th 2025 via Inverse Records. The second single ‘The Lone Idunn Grows in Shade’ is out now with a lyric video.
‘The Lone Idunn Grows in Shade’ is one of the earliest songs written for the upcoming album. It displays the meditative side of Sargassus’ music, with droning riffs and repetitive motifs with an underlying sense of angst and unease. The song deals with themes of change, rationality and spiritual growth amidst life-changing revelations.
The song’s lyrics tell a story of a priest finding a religion outside of his own faith. While confronting this new, opposing yet strangely similar worldview, he remains unmoved, but his rationality ends up poisoning his faith, leaving him spiraling. The song is a critique of those individuals who turn to wrath in the face of opposition rather than examining their own shortcomings.
Composed by Teemu Leskinen, Matias Rokio & Matias Stenman

The Band Comments: “‘The Lone Idunn Grows in Shade’ is one of those songs that underwent barely any changes since its inception. We are very pleased with the song, as it has it all: dissonance, atmosphere and aggression, all being carried by a dynamic flow throughout the song. Halfway to the song, there’s also Rokio’s brainchild for all the prog fans out there. This one’s bound to be one of Sargassus’ most impactful live songs!”
The band also released an official DRUM playthrough video of their first single Spirit of Gravity. “Let us introduce to you: not gravity blast but “spirit of gravity”-blast! Real take with real audio, of course. The drum playthrough filmed, edited and mixed by Joona Muistola at HAW Studios.”
Matthew Kiichi Heafy, mastermind and frontman of the metal band Trivium (who are currently on their North American Tour with Bullet for My Valentine), unleashed an original 30-minute soundtrack for the crowd-funded slasher comic series True Believers, co-written by New York Times bestselling Bram Stoker Award-winner Stephen Graham Jones (The Only Good Indians, My Heart is a Chainsaw) and Denver Post bestselling writer Joshua Viola (Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver, It Came from the Multiplex), with interior artwork by Ben Matsuya. The blood-soaked series features official cameos from horror and pop culture icons like Jamie Lee Curtis, R. L. Stine, Devon Sawa, GWAR, Matthew Kiichi Heafy, and more.
True Believers goes beyond the page, offering fans unique merch like latex masks, prop weapons, and soundtrack editions on vinyl, CD, and cassette, creating an immersive horror experience like no other. The score is available for pre-order from FiXT in partnership with Bit Bot Media, the new multi-media company from Klayton and Josh Viola. The full soundtrack was released on April 24, 2025.
This beast of a score slams together Heafy’s skull-crushing guitar riffs and pummeling intensity with spine-chilling, synth-drenched vibes that scream John Carpenter’s horror legacy, where Halloween meets a mosh pit. This isn’t just a soundtrack, it’s a sonic bloodbath that proves Heafy’s a genre-smashing titan, fusing metal’s raw fury with the twisted pulse of graphic storytelling.
The soundtrack’s centerpiece, “Too Far Gone,” highlights Heafy’s intense vocals and guitar prowess, paying homage to classic horror cinema.
Matthew Kiichi Heafy is a Japanese-born American musician best known as the guitarist and lead vocalist for heavy metal band Trivium.
The True Believers soundtrack is available now on all platforms from FiXT. For more information on Matthew Kiichi Heafy, be sure to follow him at the links below.

TOMMY HARRISON GROUP have released a new single ‘Fury Unleashed’, taken from their upcoming EP ‘Fight To Survive’, coming out 30th May.
Tommy Harrison Group is an Orlando, FL based hard rock band. Originally starting as an instrumental trio with diverse influences in classic hard rock, metal and jazz, Harrison’s first, self-titled album was released in 2017. Since, Harrison has moved towards his hard rock roots and enlisted the vocal talents of Mark Kaleiwahea for a new 2025 EP release, ‘Fight to Survive‘ (From the Ashes Records). Kaleiwahea is most recognized as the long-time vocalist and guitarist for Honolulu based Sacred Rite, a powerful force in the underground metal scene in the 1980s and 1990s, a group still active to this day.
Like Kaleiwahea, Harrison is native to Hawai’i and are both now residents of Florida. Harrison is best known for his time in the Denver band, Dogs of Pleasure, and time in the Hollywood club scene in the early 1990s with Aristocratic Trash, voted a top band by Music Connection magazine in 1992. Harrison is also known as an academic – this rocking professor is on the faculty at the University of Central Florida.
Joined by drummer Joshua Priest, Tommy Harrison Group’s powerful riffs coupled with melodic sensibilities makes the EP ‘Fight to Survive’ accessible by a wide audience, while bringing appeal to a classic hard rock and metal fan base. Tommy Harrison Group will be releasing a series of singles in spring/summer 2025, leading in to the release of the full EP on 30th May. Ideal for playlists suited towards their classic metal influences of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, Fight to Survive will also be a good fit for playlists that include hard rock groups ranging from Breaking Benjamin to Three Days Grace.
