Women-led, talented Brazilian Rock band Malvada are pleased to share their new single, “Aventura Favorita”, along with an official visualizer, available now via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band stated: “Aventura Favorita” is about finding someone who makes the world seem bigger and somehow still feels like home.”
The rising star of the Brazilian rock scene has a name: Malvada, and they are ready to take over the world!
Malvada was initially formed in March 2020, during the beginning of the pandemic. With a rock n’ roll style full of personality, the band quickly attracted attention as one of the most promising acts in the Brazilian rock scene.
In January 2021, Malvada released their first single entitled “Mais Um Gole”, which gained greater prominence in the scene. Shortly afterwards, in May of the same year, it was time to release the second single “Cada Escolha uma Renúncia”, which preceded the launch of the band’s debut album, “A Noite Vai Ferver”.
In the years 2022 and 2023, Malvada solidified its presence on the national rock panorama, performing more than a hundred shows in several cities in Brazil. The band had the privilege of participating in huge festivals, such as Rock in Rio, Best of Blues and Rock, Angra Fest and Chama Rock, sharing the stage with renowned national and international rock names, like Pitty, Ira!, Angra, Viper, Edu Falaschi, Matanza, Golpe de Estado, Extreme and Tom Morello.
In November 2023, Malvada, composed of Indira Castillo, Bruna Tsuruda, Rafaela Reoli and Juliana Salgado surprised with a big announcement: the band has become the newest signee of the prestigious Italian label Frontiers Records, which has renowned bands in its catalog such as Mr. Big, Asia, Whitesnake, Jeff Scott Soto, among others, promising to take them to a new level, with opportunities to expand their reach and conquer the global market.
Their latest self-titled album, released last June and produced by the Brazilian Grammy awarded producer Giu Daga, delivers a powerful and exciting musical experience, featuring tracks in both English and Portuguese, setting the bar for the band to conquer a global audience.
Malvada recently toured Europe with Michael Schenker, wrapping the tour up last month, and are set to play again at Rock in Rio in September, along with Bring Me The Horizon, Avenged Sevenfold, Bad Omens and Poppy.
Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of Finnish black metal outfit BLOODMOTHER. The band joins the ever-growing ranks of Finnish artists on the Italian label’s roster and is currently preparing the release of its debut full-length album, “Militant Black Magic”, due out in the coming months.
Formed in 2021 by Kuolontuoja, BLOODMOTHER was conceived with a clear and uncompromising purpose: to channel the spirit of true Finnish black metal through a sound stripped of excess and focused entirely on aggression. Building upon the foundations laid by the demo “Death to All” and the EP “Soul Crusher”, the band has refined a style based on razor-sharp riffs, hostile atmospheres and a direct, no-frills approach. Yet beneath its relentless surface lies a constant rhythmic variety that prevents the music from falling into predictability, maintaining tension and momentum throughout.
With “Militant Black Magic”, BLOODMOTHER push their vision further, delivering a work rooted in themes of faith, war, death and Satanic defiance. The album stands as the band’s most complete statement to date and a concentrated display of the ferocity that has defined their mission from the very beginning.
Further details on “Militant Black Magic”, including the first single and release information, will be revealed soon.

Blending traditional Mongolian instruments, throat singing and contemporary metal influences, UUHAI have developed a distinctive sound and a powerful live reputation that has resonated far beyond the folk metal scene. Their upcoming headline tour, “Human Herds – European Tour 2027 – Part 1”, will see the band perform across the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and Switzerland. The tour will also feature a diverse supporting line-up with Acyl, known for their fusion of metal and North African influences, alongside rising act Blossom Cult, further expanding the tour’s cross-cultural and contemporary heavy music identity.

Amplifying the blending of throat singing and horsehead fiddles with heavy music, breakthrough rockers UUHAI bestow a captivating sound upon the Mongolian steppe with Human Herds, out January 9, 2026 via Napalm Records. After their first songs gained them millions of video views, the seven-piece band unleashes a debut album that draws from the imposing history and awe-inspiring nature of Mongolia alike. On Human Herds, UUHAI reflect on both their roots and modern society, delivering a powerful plea to everyone, everywhere, wrapped up in a heartfelt love letter to their homeland—all in Mongolian language.
Human Herds impresses with far more than just a language and instruments unfamiliar to most ears. It is a reverent invitation into the heart of Mongolia that you won’t get anywhere else, buoyant and powerful in both storytelling and musical delivery. With deep gratitude and respect, UUHAI creates an emotional ode to nature and delivers a grassroots message to society: this debut album is a powerful reminder that on this earth, we are all the same.
UUHAI about Human Herds: “Human Herds is a reflection on the unstoppable tide of humanity—our migrations, our revolts, our worship, and our wounds upon the Earth. Yet in our chaos, we must remember: we all live under one sun and one moon on Earth, sharing the same fragile home.”
On the new album, UUHAI steps into the role of perceptive storytellers, guiding listeners through the spirit and soundscape of the Far East. Following a tone-setting, appropriately atmospheric intro is the title track, “Human Herds”. A galloping hard rock anthem calling upon the forefathers, it first offers colorful descriptions of nature’s beauty along with the urge to take better care of weeping Mother Earth instead of watching her destruction, delivered in haunting antiphony—the overarching theme of the album. “Uuhai” snarlingly tells the tale of how Mongolia historically drew its strength from said connection with its surroundings, dispersing both evil spirits and other nations. It culminates in the band chanting their name, which translates to a common battle cry for good fortune—which European fans will have a chance to join in on during the upcoming tour. Sweeping “Khar Khulz” offers passages to sing along with and simultaneously conjures up images in your mind that will have you booking the next flight to Ulaanbaatar. Throughout their diverse first album, UUHAI show an imposing ability to both create intimate settings that have us witness age-old rituals and deliver catchy hits as a heavy rock troupe. “Secret History Of The Mongols” wraps up the journey. Named after the oldest surviving literary work in the Mongolic language, dated to the late 1220s, the final track seduces with an enticing atmosphere, an emotional guitar solo, and another round of goosebump-inducing “uuhai” chants, invoking a collectively bright future.
Finnish metal band Cerebrum, formed in 1992, released a new single ‘Once You See It’ on June 9th 2026 via Inverse Records. The track is taken from the forthcoming EP which is set to be released later in 2026.
The Band comments the single: “The lyrics describe the complexity of the human mind. They explore how our senses transmit signals that the mind interprets according to our emotional states. They also reflect on how sometimes we see something that completely changes our previous understanding of the same thing, and on how remarkable, fascinating, and constantly capable of uncovering new perspectives the human mind can be. For example: once you see the arrow in the Fedex logo (between E and X), you can’t unsee it.”

Cerebrum ”since 1992”
Cerebrum is a progressive death metal band from Turku in Finland. The band was formed in Turku in 1992. Initially, their music was more akin to old-school death metal, but on their second demo, they had adopted a more progressive style. Just when things were starting to get interesting, Cerebrum vanished. (Active 1992–1996).
In 2023, the old-school death metal festival ‘Finnish Death Metal Maniacs’ introduced the return of Cerebrum with four of its original members. A few years later, with a new keyboard player, the band is ready to release new material. In July 2025, the Spanish label Memento Mori released a Cerebrum compilation of their 1990s material entitled Vestiges of an Evoked Past (1993–1994).
