OF MICE & MEN return with their brand-new single “Troubled Water”, taken from their upcoming ninth studio album Another Miracle, out November 14 via Century Media Records. Written, produced, and engineered entirely by the band, the record showcases them at their most personal and expansive yet.
“‘Troubled Water’ is about setting boundaries and breaking away from one-sided connections,” says drummer Valentino Arteaga. Sonically, the track combines heavy, headbangable riffs with an ominous sci-fi atmosphere, pushing the band into darker territory.
Following the singles “Another Miracle” and “Wake Up”—the latter currently climbing the U.S. Active Rock Radio charts—this new release sets the stage for their most ambitious album to date.
Fans can catch Of Mice & Men live this fall at Louder Than Life, Aftershock, Warped Tour, and on a headline run across the UK and Europe , where they’ll perform new material alongside fan favorites.
Time To Kill Records and TENEBRO are finalizing the preparations for the release of the band’s new album, “Una Lama D’Argento”, scheduled for later this year.
In the meantime, the cover artwork – created by artist Julian Ibanez – has been unveiled, offering a glimpse of the album’s dark and unsettling atmosphere. With their horrific and claustrophobic death metal, TENEBRO reaffirm themselves as one of the most uncompromising and distinctive acts in the Italian extreme underground, ready to push even further with this new work.
With “Una Lama D’Argento”, TENEBRO take their most extreme and visionary step yet: an entire album conceived as a tribute to Dario Argento, the undisputed master of horror, giallo, and thriller cinema. Eleven tracks that are not just songs, but episodes of a single nightmare, a journey through the dark and obsessive atmospheres of the films that shaped cinema history: Deep Red (1975), Suspiria (1977), Inferno (1980), Tenebre (1982), Phenomena (1985), and Opera (1987).
TENEBRO translate Argento’s universe into sound: riffs sharp as blades, guttural vocals emerging from the darkness, relentless drumming, and atmospheres shifting between pure violence and suffocating tension. Iconic scenes such as the mirror revealing the killer in Deep Red, the brutal mutilation in Tenebre, or the larva-filled bathtub finale in Phenomena are transformed into brutal, immersive sonic attacks, capturing the full horror and tension of the films.
As with every album, TENEBRO continue to evolve, introducing new symphonies, styles, and melodies, while remaining distinctly separate from the wider underground scene. Their music explores new horizons without ever betraying the pulsating heart that has always defined their sound: extreme, theatrical, and viscerally horror-driven.
In “Una Lama D’Argento”, TENEBRO do not merely evoke Argento’s universe: they embody it, rewriting his obsessions in Giallo Metal. It is an album that cuts, tears, and leaves no room for respite. “Una Lama D’Argento” is not just an album: it is a sonic nightmare, a visceral tribute to the cinema that taught us to love fear.

French multi-instrumentalist and producer Gautier Serre has been operating under the name Igorrr for 20 years now, yet each new record still resounds with a startling freshness and radical vitality. Steadfastly unclassifiable fifth album AMEN maintains this impact, blindsiding the listener with a new set of exploratory curveballs and continuing to surprise and unnerve even the most attuned enthusiast.
The record features guest appearances from by Scott Ian (Anthrax), Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle), and Mike Leon (Soulfly).
Today, Igorrr drops the video for “DAEMONI.” Watch it below.
“The Earth has a demon inside it,” the artist states. “The bright side attempted to convert it but didn’t succeed, and the gong marked the end of all hope. You can hear the demon’s heart. You can hear the ceremony for it to wake up. You can hear the mud and the dirt. You can also hear, with such great strength, the bright side of life fighting before it was destroyed by evil.”
AMEN TRACK LISTING: 01. Daemoni 02. Headbutt 03. Limbo 04. Blastbeat Falafel 05. ADHD 06. 2020 07. Mustard Mucous 08. Infestis 09. Ancient Sun 10. Pure Disproportionate Black and White Nihilism 11. Étude n°120 12. Silence
IGORRR will tour Europe this fall with MASTER BOOT RECORD and Imperial Triumphant. The artist plans to return to the U.S. to play live in 2026. Stay tuned for more. European tour dates are in the graphic below.
ABOUT IGORRR: Since signing to Metal Blade in 2017, the Igorrr name has expanded from one man’s pseudonym to become a full group identity, but Gautier remains the project’s guiding light and mastermind, so he’s the best man to ask to describe the indescribable. “This album is definitely darker than its predecessors, it has such a very weighty and solemn vibe that has never been reached before in Igorrr,” explains Gautier. “The fact that I recorded a real choir in a church helped this a lot, but above all there has been very long and meticulous work on the sound and the choice of instruments, and deep experimental research to create a unique sound design. Of course, because it’s an Igorrr album, there are some more colorful tracks, like ‘Blastbeat Falafel,’ ‘ADHD…’ They contrast very much with the ambient heaviness. I need tracks like these on an album, it helps to really get through it fully focused, like a shot of limoncello before the next meal.”
With an urge to continually take Igorrr‘s multifaceted and challenging sound further forward with each release, Gautier has spent a lot of time cultivating multiple new modes and methods of working since 2020’s breathtaking, critically acclaimed opus Spirituality And Distortion – which even reached No. 12 on the official German album chart. Gautier has always made clear that Igorrr is as much about the influence of Bach and Chopin as it is about Cannibal Corpse, Aphex Twin, and Meshuggah, but the source of specific stimuli gets harder to ascertain as the process is refined. “It’s always difficult for me to know from where the inspiration comes,” he muses. “Music is an expression of life, and I would say everything, even what seems the most insignificant thing, can be a source of inspiration. I would say there hasn’t been one event or one experience that has lead me on a creative process, it’s more like a cumulation of everything. I love making music, my brain processes music all the time. You cannot imagine the amount of albums and concertos I create during my sleep. The challenge is more how to sort these ideas to keep the ones with the best potential, the ones that I won’t get bored of, the ones that I really Love – with a big letter L.”
Italian modern metal act Secret Rule presents their new single “In The Silence”, the latest chapter leading up to the release of their upcoming album “X“, out October 24th via Rockshots Records.
Following the impactful “Just a Sacrifice”, the environmental call of “Echoes of the Earth” and the emotional depth of “Silent Pain”, this new single turns inward, exploring the dialogue with our inner self—the quietest voice that often carries the most strength.
Blending cinematic modern metal textures with an unexpected rap section performed by bassist Sofia Basili and enriched by orchestral counterpoints, “In The Silence” weaves together fragility, honesty, and resilience. Angela Di Vincenzo’s heartfelt vocals capture the tension between weakness and inner strength while Andy Menario’s production strikes a balance between heaviness and atmosphere.
Angela comments: “This song is a dialogue with your inner self—the version of you that holds your strength when you’re at your weakest. Writing it was like letting that voice finally speak.”
Sofia adds: “My part is that quiet voice inside, the one that whispers when you’re ready to hear the truth. It’s not about volume, it’s about honesty.”
With “In The Silence”, Secret Rule reaffirms their ability to innovate within modern symphonic metal, offering yet another dimension of their dynamic sound.
Track Listing: 1. The Answer 2. Walking Down The Street 3. In The Silence 4. Echoes of Earth 5. Eternal Symphony 6. Silent Pain 7. Collapse 8. Lost In Paradise 9. Destiny Reloaded 10. Just A Sacrifice 11. The Storm Album Length: 42:30

Following his electrifying and critically acclaimed November 2024 UK tour, guitar marvel and powerhouse vocalist Philip Sayce returns in May/June 2026 for a nationwide UK tour fuelled with a brand-new live release and a forthcoming studio album that promises to raise the bar yet again.
Planet Rock’s48-hour ticket pre-sale starts 10am on Monday22 September via PlanetRock.com. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Wednesday 24 September from thegigcartel.comand philipsayce.com.
In the lead-up to the tour, Sayce drops a unique live version of his anthemic track “Peace Machine,” recorded at the legendary Baked Potato in Los Angeles. “The message of Peace Machine rings even louder today than when I first recorded it,” says Sayce. “This live take with my band captures the fire, the intensity, and the raw spirit of the song — it sums up so much of what I’m seeing and feeling in the world right now.”
Watch the “Peace Machine Live in L.A. at The Baked Potato” music video below.
But that’s just the start. Sayce is deep in the studio between Toronto and Los Angeles, pushing his craft to new levels with a new album that blends raw intensity and refined soul. It’s the sound of an artist evolving — and hitting his stride like never before. “This album feels like a homecoming and an evolution all at once — it’s full of heart, grit, and everything I’ve lived since my last release,” says Sayce.
Sayce’s special guest on the tour is critically acclaimed British guitarist and singer songwriter Tom Moriarty. “Tom’s music appeals to fans of Ben Harper, Ray Lamontagne and Van Morrison,” says Guitarist magazine.
Sayce is no stranger to guitar accolades. “Philip Sayce stands on the edge of hard rock and psychedelia, slinging guitar riffs past your ears at warped speed,” says Rock and Blues Muse.
Philip’s 2024 studio album The Wolves Are Coming, received high praise from the UK music press, including interviews and album thumbs up reviews in music magazines including Classic Rock, Guitarist, Guitar Interactive, HRH, R’N’R, Blues Matters, and Blues in Britain.
From blistering fretwork to soul-stirring ballads, Sayce’s performances have earned raves from the likes of Blues Matters (“wild, energetic – a full-on experience”) and Raw Ramp (“Philip Sayce creates atmospheres with sonic textures. When the mood takes him, Sayce extends his fingers into the heavens and takes fire from the sun. Oh my!”).
Backed by bassist Sam Bolle and drummer Bryan Head, Sayce will draw from across his celebrated catalogue — The Wolves Are Coming, Spirit Rising, Peace Machine, Influence, Ruby Electric, and Steamroller — alongside material from the forthcoming 2026 album.
A protégé of the late Jeff Healey and a long-time collaborator with Melissa Etheridge, Sayce has shared stages from Montreux Jazz Festival to Eric Clapton’s Crossroads Festival, leaving audiences stunned and critics scrambling for superlatives. Jon Bon Jovi once summed it up best: “Who the f** is that guitar player? Pretty fabulous, Philip.”

ABOUT PHILIP SAYCE Philip Sayce is a modern guitar hero whose sound fuses blistering electric blues, hard rock energy, and soulful psychedelia into a style all his own. Born in Aberystwyth, Wales, raised in Toronto, Canada, and now based in Los Angeles, California, Sayce grew up immersed in his parents’ record collection — Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Albert Collins, Jeff Healey, Eric Clapton, Ry Cooder, The Beatles, and Dire Straits — igniting a passion that would shape his life. By his mid-teens, he was tearing up Toronto’s blues scene, holding down regular slots at legendary Grossman’s Tavern.
His breakthrough came when Canadian guitar icon Jeff Healey invited him to join his band, touring the world and recording Get Me Some and multiple live releases. Sayce toured and recorded with Uncle Kracker before joining Melissa Etheridge’s band from 2004–2009, contributing to three studio albums, two live releases, and the Oscar-winning song “I Need to Wake Up”.
Sayce launched his solo career with Peace Machine (2005/2009), followed by Innerevolution (2010), Ruby Electric (2011), and Steamroller (2012), the latter two produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Dave Cobb. His 2015 Warner Music debut, Influence (also produced by Cobb), further cemented his reputation, with the live album Scorched Earth (2016) and the critically acclaimed Spirit Rising (2020) marking significant milestones in his evolution as an artist. Today, Sayce’s music connects with a global audience, generating over one million Spotify streams every month.
In February 2024, Sayce released The Wolves Are Coming via Atomic Gemini/Forty Below Records to widespread praise. Voted #2 in Classic Rock’s “Blues Album of the Year” in 2024, the record built on the momentum of his sold-out UK tour in late 2023 and a string of acclaimed live performances in 2024. In 2026, he returns to the UK with his most ambitious project yet — an as-yet-untitled studio album recorded between Toronto and Los Angeles, set for release in Spring 2026.
