Swedish black metal legends DARK FUNERAL have shared a new track from their highly anticipated seventh studio album. The new song, “Leviathan”, is the third single off the upcoming record “We Are The Apocalypse”, which will see a March 18th, 2022 release.
Lead vocalist Heljarmadr comments:
“I immediately heard the ocean when I was listening to the intro for the track, so I wrote from that place and I began to see this place that I was hearing. So I’m trying to create this dire, ominous experience in the water, which is a unique theme and concept for us.”

Tommy Vext/ THE LONE WOLF have released a brand new single titled “Trust the Science” featuring Billboard topping Hip-Hop artist and TikTok star, Topher to all major platforms.
“‘Trust the Science’ is for all intensive purposes a protest anthem. It’s a reflection of the damage that happens when people follow blind leaders for solutions that end up causing more harm than good. The song is also a homage to hospital workers and first responders who were unconventionally fired from their jobs for not participating in a mass medical experiment. We see you and we honor your integrity and sacrifice,” says Vext.
WATCH Tommy Vext\The Lone Wolf – Trust the Science feat. Topher:
Tommy Vext is a rock singer and songwriter best known for being the lead singer of Bad Wolves, Snot and a short stint as the fill in lead singer for Five Finger Death Punch.
Vext’s passion for music came early. He began his career in Brooklyn, New York, as a teen making his rounds in the local hardcore scene. He created a name for himself by performing at famed venues like CBGB and many others.
Over the years, Vext went on to create music and front many bands but his biggest success came when he founded and created Bad Wolves. With ten world tours, hundreds of millions of streams and most notably six number one hits, Vext’s stage presence and powerful voice had solidified his place in the rock world for good, creating a loyal and rabid fan base.
Though Bad Wolves first studio album Disobey was released in May of 2017, it wasn’t until May of 2018 when they found record breaking and chart topping success with their breakthrough cover of the Cranberries single “Zombie”. This single topped the Billboard mainstream rock charts for weeks and charted in many other territories globally.
One of the most viewed music videos on the internet, “Zombie” has been watched upwards of 400 million times. Before her passing, TMZ obtained audio of the original singer Delores O’Riordan offering to sing on the cover. Considered a love letter by many the video views continue to grow.
In January of 2021 Vext was pushed out of the band he created over differences of opinions regarding his social and political ideologies. Not falling victim to cancel culture, Vext continued to create music, tour and use his voice to do things the way he wants, when he wants.
Known as one of the most prolific and provocative men in rock music, Tommy Vext is just getting started.
THY KINGDOM WILL BURN will release the second studio album ‘The Void and the Vengeance’ on May 20th on Scarlet Records.
Big, crunchy gloomy guitars depicting moving emotional landscapes, with a banshee-like voice screaming’n’growling on top of them and an all-around relentless rhythmic backbone: call it melodic death metal or simply dark metal… This is superb, intense and soulful music blessed by a top-notch songwriting.
Thy Kingdom Will Burn started to build a name for themselves with the 2021 namesake debut album; less than 12 months later, they are now ready to deliver another collection of catchy killer tunes. The guys from Kuovola master the secrets of powerful, atmospheric and melancholic music just as any proper Finnish band does.
‘The Void and the Vengeance’ – featuring new guitarist Esa Virén and the menacing artwork of Jarkko Vanhalakka – will reinforce their status in the highly competitive world metal scene. Time to embrace that cold and poignant northern light!
Tracklist is as follows: Between Two Worlds Disbelief Veil of Wicked Sky Fortress of Solitude Nothing Remains Barren Land Siren of Doom Serpents Through the Broken Lens
Brazilian death metal super-group, THE TROOPS OF DOOM, featuring former SEPULTURA guitarist Jairo “Tormentor” Guedz alongside bassist/vocalist Alex Kafer (Enterro, Explicit Hate, ex-Necromancer), drummer Alexandre Oliveira (Southern Blacklist, Raising Conviction), and guitarist Marcelo Vasco (Patria, Mysteriis, and acclaimed graphic artist for the likes of Slayer, Kreator, Machine Head, Soulfly, and Hatebreed), have unleashed a first song taken from their upcoming, hotly anticipated record Antichrist Reborn! The band’s debut album will be released as CD Digipack and Cassette on April 15, 2022 with a Vinyl to follow via Alma Mater Records – the record label run by MOONSPELL‘s Fernando Ribeiro – and digitally released by Blood Blast Distribution.
Following their critically acclaimed EPs The Rise Of Heresy (2020) and The Absence of Light (2021), which has been lauded by both the international music press and fans alike, on Antichrist Reborn the band revisits the essence of ‘80s-style death metal, exploring a more primitive sound that takes its listeners back to that era, while remaining fresh, genuine, and ferociously heavy.
In a recent statement, the MOONSPELL frontman and Alma Mater Records owner Fernando Ribeiro said about the band: “I have been a fan of Brazilian extreme music, namely Death Metal since the late eighties. It shaped me as a musician and as a metalhead as much or maybe even more than the the classic extreme Metal bands from Europe and the US. Antichrist Reborn holds the key to open the gates and unleash those demons upon us in 2022! It’s just the brilliant missing link between that past and the glorious Troops of Doom future. My head is in the clouds and I am totally psyched to have this top of the chain band in my label. You won’t believe how hellishly strong is this record, Troops of Doom will claim the title of best Death Metal album of the year!”
But convince yourself, as today THE TROOPS OF DOOM have unleashed a first single and music video for ‘Altar Of Delusion’, which is now streaming here:
Antichrist Reborn was mixed by Swedish producer Peter Tägtgren at the iconic The Abyss Studio and mastered by Jonas Kjellgren at Blacklounge Studio, Sweden. Featuring very special guest musicians such as João Gordo (Ratos de Porão) and Alex Camargo & Moyses Kolesne (Krisiun), THE TROOPS OF DOOM unleash true oldschool death metal in its purest form; dirty, primitive, and brutally powerful as it should be! The cover art was painted by Sergio “AlJarrinha” Oliveira, the artist behind Sepultura’s Bestial Devastation original artwork. The album pre-sale of Antichrist Reborn has just started at THIS LOCATION!
