Polish extreme metal giants, the mighty BEHEMOTH, have released their monumental anniversary concert XXX Years Ov Blasphemy from 2021. It’s available as 3CD + BluRay, 3LP and Digital Album.
The career-spanning show, held at and filmed on three cinematic locations, has a total running time of 90 minutes, divided into three different acts, and features fan favourites as well as a few selected deep cuts that BEHEMOTH had rarely played live before.
Coinciding with the album release, the live video for the song ‘At The Left Hand Ov God‘ has been made available on the band’s YouTube channel. The original version of the song appeared on BEHEMOTH‘s 2007 opus, The Apostasy.
Finnish industrial metal titans TURMION KÄTILÖT have released their brand new albumRESETvia Nuclear Blast Records. With the release of their new album RESETTURMION KÄTILÖT‘s focus track ‘Sinä 2.0‘ takes center stage. The single, both sinister and euphoric demonstrates perfectly what the band have to offer. ‘Sinä 2.0‘ is made by Janne Tolsa (composition) and Saku (lyrics) with a feature of Petja’s daughter, Netta. The band have also announced an extensive European tour for January 2025, where they will be taking their industrial party metal to the masses.
Composer Janne Tolsa comments about‘Sinä 2.0‘: “The song came together in a traditional way of browsing through a library of a million synth sounds. The music in the verses is done with a bit of a rap vibe, while the chorus builds up with a touch of dance music. Petja made great vocal arrangements for the A-parts in the style of evergreen schlager hits, which contrast nicely with Petja’s daughter Netta’s wonderfully delicate singing.”
MC Raaka Pee comments about Reset: “I would say that Reset is like a bastard son or daughter of previous records – with tasty new spices added to the whole thing. It has everything you could ever want from us and more. One of the special twist of this album is the vocal parts: the fierce screams are counterbalanced by a huge melodiousness – often at the same time.”

Dare to dance with the dead! Dutch symphonic metal titans EPICA have unleashed their eeriest creation yet, the spine-chilling music video for ‘The Ghost in Me (Danse Macabre),’ a haunting track that lures listeners into a world where shadows dance and the afterlife whispers. This song is a unique collaboration with Europe’s second-most visited theme park, Netherlands’s magical DeEfteling, and their much-anticipated new attraction, Danse Macabre.
Drenched in ghostly imagery, the video mirrors the unsettling thrill of De Efteling’s new ride, which opens its gates on October 31st, right in time for this Halloween season. Ever since their childhood, every member of EPICA has loved this theme park that welcomes over 5 million visitors per year. Therefore, this collaboration was a true match made in the otherworld.
Submerge yourself now in the music video which was filmed right inside and in front of the new attraction – and as if this wasn’t already exciting enough, the band even received their very own “Epica gravestone” that you can spot, if you look closely:
EPICA’s keyboard player, Coen Janssen, comments: “Every kid in the Netherlands knows how magical ‘de Efteling’ is, and working this closely with the most beautiful theme park in the world surely is a dream come true! As a young boy, I immediately got captivated by the “Danse Macabre” by Saint-Saëns as a soundtrack for their haunted house “Spookslot”. So when ‘de Efteling’ announced their new plans for the ghostly attraction “Danse Macabre” all pieces of the puzzle fell into place immediately: Why not combine our symphonic side with the ’scary’ side of metal and do our version of this epic classical piece?!? We are so happy that ‘de Efteling’ trusted our vision and gave their full support, providing us with the new ride’s storyline, so we could write lyrics fitting the fantastic narrative and even adding a new chapter!”
‘The Ghost In Me (Danse Macabre)’ lures fans into a darkly enchanting dance with the dead in this YouTube video and will also appear on all streaming platforms soon… when more of Epica’s next chapter will be unveiled.
The song has already made its live debut at the band’s monumental ‘Symphonic Synergy’ shows in Amsterdam this September, and fans in Latin America will have the chance to be the next to hear it live at two shows that EPICA will perform exclusively with a full orchestra and choir.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) have released the official video for their track, “Feed the Beast“. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming new album, Origins, which is due to be released on November 1, 2024. The album is now available to pre-save as well as digital pre-order on The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s official website.
On the making of the video for “Feed the Beast”, Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi shared, “Feed the Beast is a song about addiction and recovery. It dives into the tumultuous inner journey of learning how to live all over again. As addiction is like being controlled by a beast that demands to be constantly fed, the video shows what it’s like to lose oneself to addiction — what grows inside is a host of unimaginable horrors.”
Over the course of this year, the duo have released singles and music videos from their third studio album album: “Mysterium Tremendum” a blend of death metal, classical music and poetry; “Feed the Beast”, a progressive rock and metal anthem about addiction and recovery; “Bite the Bullet”, a hip-hop/metal song featuring UK-based Italian rapper, Mr Meuri; “It goes”, and most recently, “Waves”. Many singles scored placements in various editorial playlists, including Apple Music’s Breaking Hard Rock, New in Rock, New in Alternative, and Amazon Music’s Fresh Metal. Five tracks from the new album each have an accompanying official music video, all produced by Ang and Papi under their visual and video production entity, TCOMAS Studio.
Speaking about the new album, Origins, Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi shared, “This album is deeply personal. It is written from the heart, and with emotion and feeling. It is for the people who are still here, and for those who are now gone.” “You’ll find many unexpected twists and turns throughout the new album”, Andrea Papi added. “Such is the chaos and unpredictability of life.”
Always evolving, Originscontinues The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s impressive streak of self-produced efforts, Full Spectrum and Trust No Leaders, and will be the duo’s third self-produced studio album since Singapore-born Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi of Italy came together as The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara in London in early 2020.
“You’ll find many unexpected twists and turns throughout the new album”, Andrea Papi added. “Such is the chaos and unpredictability of life.”
The unified sound of the TCOMAS project highlights the partnership between Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi, who both provide vocals, music, and lyrics. Ang plays the piano and keyboards, while Papi plays the electric guitar and bass, handles the drum programming as well as producing all their work.
The album was recorded and produced by TCOMAS Studio, with mixing and mastering done by Ergosphere Studios. Additionally, the artwork for the new record, Origins, showcases original paintings by the duo. Ang and Papi explained, “The artwork for this album features paintings done by us. Our music is the reflection of our paintings, and vice versa.”
The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s new album Origins is out on November 1. Visit ffm.to/origins-album to pre-save. The new album is available for purchase as a digital download at tcomas.com/origins.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara
The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) was born in London when Daphne Ang from Singapore and Andrea Papi from Italy joined forces in early 2020 to form the dynamic duo. TCOMAS introduced their innovative sound in their first album, Full Spectrum, an eclectic blend of heavy rock and electronic with poetry performance, most notably with “Love in the Time of Pestilence”, which graced several editorial Spotify playlists (Alternative Metal, Progressive Metal). TCOMAS became known for melding heavy music with the elegance of poetry and poignant lyrics on their second album, Trust No Leaders, which was released in July 2022. The record explored the history of metal and its sub-genres, showcasing non-Western musical influences and lyrics inspired by Jungian psychology. The duo marked their return in early 2024, with the release of a series of singles taken from their upcoming third album, Origins, with many singles scoring placements on various editorial playlists on Apple Music and Amazon Music. TCOMAS’s unique approach to combining music and visual storytelling has also garnered attention worldwide. Their self-produced music videos have been screened at film festivals globally, receiving numerous official selections and nominations to date.
New York City-based alternative indie rock band Don’t Believe In Ghosts celebrates the release of their brand-new single, “Brooklyn Baby,” available today. The song, co-written and produced by Grammy-winning producer Ken Lewis (X Ambassadors, FUN.), captures the excitement, allure, and challenges faced by those who leave everything behind to chase their dreams in New York City.
Steven Nathan, the band’s lead singer and producer, shared insight into the song’s creation: “I originally wrote the demo and sent it to my good friend and Grammy winner Ken Lewis, who generously would give me some tips as I was working on a song. This time, he said, ‘Get on a plane, and let’s finish this one together.’ So we did.”
The single release comes ahead of their performance at a special charity event benefiting the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation, hosted by Melyssa Murray, founder of No. 95 Candles, and Murr from Impractical Jokers. This event will be held on Saturday, November 9th, 2024, at 18 Label Studios in Montclair, NJ. Don’t Believe In Ghosts will headline the VIP after-party, performing live to support Alzheimer’s research.
The band expressed his enthusiasm for the event: “We’re beyond excited to be a part of this incredible event. When Melyssa and Murr asked us to play, we didn’t hesitate—supporting Alzheimer’s research is a cause that truly hits home for us. Being able to contribute through music and help raise funds for such important work is an honor.”
In addition, the band will return to their hometown for a special live performance at Mercury Lounge on Saturday, November 30th, 2024. This will mark their first NYC show in over a year, where fans can experience the live debut of “Brooklyn Baby” along with new music the band has been working on. Tickets for the Mercury Lounge show are now on sale.
Don’t Believe in Ghosts is an alternative rock band formed and based in New York City. Singer Steven Nathan leads the ensemble and features Dan DelVecchio on guitar and Ken Yang on drums. They are widely recognized for their breakthrough track “Put Your Head Back”, which not only featured in the AppleTV+ series “WeCrashed” starring Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway but also graced the show’s soundtrack. The track, mixed by the renowned Mark Needham, known for his work with ‘The Killers’ and ‘Imagine Dragons,’ has garnered extensive praise nationwide.
Steven Nathan encapsulates the band’s philosophy with the phrase, “Don’t give energy to the ghosts of your past,” emphasizing the importance of focusing on the present and moving forward without the weight of external judgments. Through their music, Don’t Believe In Ghosts continues to offer a blend of honesty, creativity, and relatable narratives, making every song not just heard, but felt.
