Legendary former King Crimson members ADRIAN BELEW and TONY LEVIN banded together with guitar virtuoso STEVE VAI and explosive Tool drummer DANNY CAREY to create BEAT, a creative reinterpretation of the three iconic 80s KING CRIMSON albums – ‘Discipline,’ ‘Beat,’ and ‘Three Of A Perfect Pair.’
In 2024, the ensemble staged 65 standing-room-only shows in North America. They followed this touring with an expansive run of Mexico and South America in 2025. Now the band and InsideOutMusic / Sony present “Thela Hun Ginjeet” in front of the release of ‘BEAT LIVE’ on September 26th. The live video can be viewed below.
The new studio album from progressive metal group Between the Buried and Me, The Blue Nowhere, is out now. Watch below the video for the album’s title track.
Between the Buried and Me kick off their North American co-headlining tour with Hail The Sun on Sept. 14. The trek features openers Delta Sleep (Sept. 22-October 30) and The World Is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die (Sept. 14-21). Tickets are available here: Betweentheburiedandme.com.
Active rock force OUTLIER have unleashed their explosive new single,“Creature of the Night”, now available on all major streaming platforms. Alongside the release, the band has dropped the official music video, directed by acclaimed filmmaker Tom Flynn (known for his work with Ice Nine Kills, Lamb of God, and All That Remains).
Speaking about the new release, Joey Arena shared: “When meeting someone, especially romantically, people put on a pretty face and wear their Sunday’s best. But, what would happen if you approached it the other way, by starting off revealing the darker side of yourself, your most vulnerable and true form, your unapologetic self? There would be less of a phase, cause if your demons can play well together then you’re forever living in the ‘honeymoon phase’. Creature; although a more aggressive song, its a love song but not in the way most would expect.”
The single’s powerful production comes courtesy of Ricky Armellino (Ice Nine Kills, Hawk), with co-production by Justin DeBlieck (ex-Motionless in White), mixing by Chris Dawson, and mastering by Mike Kalajian.
The track serves as a preview of the band’s highly anticipated upcoming album, Screamiere, set for release in March 2026.
Honing in on a modern sound while consistently setting themselves apart from the mainstream, Outlier prides themselves in creating exemplary rock and metal music backed by a rapidly growing fanbase. Outlier has earned over 8 million on demand streams across DSP platforms as well as more than 6 million views of user generated content on YouTube alone. In addition to their loyal fan base, the band has caught attention through achieving features in major media outlets such as Revolver, Loudwire, Alternative Press, Decibel and ABC News.
Continually hitting the Billboard charts, Outlier has been able to spread their sound nationwide through constant spins on FM radio and months of regular rotation on SiriusXM Octane– launching them into the forefront of their genre. Outlier has had 6 singles featured on SiriusXM Octane; “Who We Are”, “Buried Me Alive”, “Blame The Dead”, “Living Dead”, “Heartless” and their latest, “Dead Man Running”, winning the hearts of satellite radio listeners across the country and emphasizes the bands ability to stay creative while maintaining an ever-growing fanbase.
Arjen Anthony Lucassen’s highly anticipated solo album, Songs No One Will Hear, is out now on InsideOutMusic. To celebrate the album’s release, you can watch the video for “The Clock Ticks Down”, below.
True to Lucassen’s visionary style, the record delivers an eclectic journey — shifting from towering, epic soundscapes to lighter, more playful tracks — while exploring both the light and dark sides of human nature.
Guiding the album is narration from Mike Mills (Toehider) along with collaborators like Irene and Floor Jansen (Nightwish, After Forever), Robert Soeterboek, Marcela Bovio, and Patty Gurdy, adding depth to the album’s diverse sound.
Archers have unleashed their re-imagined version of “Never Enough” featuring the band Of Virtue. The single is now available on all major streaming platforms. The hard-hitting track is taken from the band’s brand-new EP, Temporary High, out now via SBG Records.
The band shares, “We’re excited to rerelease our song “Never Enough” featuring our friends in Of Virtue! We love the spin they put on the song and hope you do as well. Catch us playing it live throughout the US this October on the second leg of The Temporary High Tour!”
Following a highly successful run on the first leg of their tour, Archers are thrilled to announce ‘The Temporary High Tour Pt. II’, bringing their electrifying live show to even more cities across the country. The tour will feature special guests Nerv, Of Virtue, and Dead Eyes, making for a stacked lineup of heavy hitters in the modern alternative and hard rock scenes.
The band’s recent performances have drawn widespread acclaim from fans and press alike. Deranged-Media.com wrote, “They stormed the stage with the fury of a band on a mission—and from the first chord, it was clear they weren’t leaving anything behind. Known for their gritty blend of alt-rock and post-hardcore, the band turned the venue into a whirlwind of sound, sweat, and raw emotion. By the time they closed, the room was pulsing with sweat, energy, and gratitude. Archers proved they’re not just a band to watch—they’re a force that knows how to leave a crowd breathless and begging for more.”
IM Music Magazine echoed the sentiment, declaring: “This crowd went crazy and ARCHERS put on one of the best shows we’ve seen this year! You definitely do not want to miss them when they roll into your town.”
Produced by acclaimed producer Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Sleeping With Sirens), Temporary High captures ARCHERS’ continued evolution, blending crushing breakdowns, atmospheric textures, and emotionally charged lyrics.
In regards to the EP, the band states, “Temporary High is all about finding catharsis. It’s about breaking free from toxic cycles and finding value in oneself apart from anyone or anything that would try to usurp one’s own identity.”
In addition, the band will be hitting the road with Nothing More and Catch Your Breath from mid January through mid March 2026. The nationwide run will introduce ARCHERS’ explosive live show to even more fans as they continue building momentum into the new year.
“We are so excited and genuinely honored to be hitting the road with Nothing More in 2026! Touring with a band of this caliber is not something we take lightly and we are very excited to learn as much as we can from such seasoned vets. It will be such a treat getting to watch the incredible show they put on every night.”
Wisconsin-based band ARCHERS is making serious waves. Formed in 2015 by Ben Koehler (guitar) and Nathanael Pulley (vocals), ARCHERS quickly became known for their raw mix of metalcore and pop-rock, tackling everything from mental health to relationships with a brutally honest edge. With Oscar Porter (bass) and Grayson Mesarosh (drums) rounding out the lineup, the band’s sound has only gotten sharper.
2020’s New Normal EP was a game-changer, with its powerful blend of heavy riffs and introspective lyrics drawing comparisons to bands like Dayseeker and Sleep Token. Singles like “Bitter” and “Say This Sober” showcase their ability to balance vulnerability with intensity, earning them a fiercely dedicated fanbase. ARCHERS’ music is a journey of strength and catharsis, turning life’s darkest moments into anthems of resilience.

The acclaimed international singer-songwriter Leah Martin-Brown shares today her new single and official video, “Light Show”, taken from her upcoming debut album, “Love & Other Crimes”, out on October 24, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Leah commented: “Light Show” is a dark, moody, and intense love song. While it’s rooted in pop sensibilities, it carries a deeper, more brooding edge than my previous releases. At its core it’s a love song, but there are undertones of a darker passion, something that, to some, could even feel like obsession. My goal was to capture the complexity and layers of emotion that come with being truly, passionately in love”.
A fearless collision of rock grit and pop fervor, “Love & Other Crimes” heralds the arrival of Leah Martin-Brown – an artist who defies genre with every note.
Leah stated: “Working on this album has been one of the most intense experiences of my creative career. Being asked to be part of an album with Mutt Lange has been a dream of mine since I first picked up a guitar. It has been almost 5 years of blood, sweat and actual tears to give these songs and stories life”.
“This record encapsulates such an intense personal & musical journey and I am truly honoured to be able to now share this with the world via Frontiers. I hope that people find songs that they can connect with, that they can sing out the windows of their cars and shout from their apartment balconies, that they can dance to in their living rooms with the people they adore. I hope you all love Love & Other Crimes”, she added.
Hailing from the vibrant Australian music scene, Leah began performing live at just 13 and fronted the band Lilly Rouge, before taking her talents to the US with Evol Walks. Her journey has taken her from the sweaty rock stages of Los Angeles to Stockholm’s elite songwriting circles.
Now signed to Frontiers Music Srl and managed by Jens Lundberg, Leah has worked alongside legendary producers Robert “Mutt” Lange, Tony Nilsson, and Tommy Denander to create a debut that’s bold, cinematic, and unrelentingly modern.
Her debut single “Boys” made a strong impact upon release in March 2024, followed by the high-energy “Hysterical Love” – which generated over 73,000 Spotify streams. With the sultry “Shush”, she embraced darker melodic territory, showing a vocal style that is both powerful and emotionally nuanced.
On “Love & Other Crimes”, Leah blends searing guitars, cinematic programming (courtesy of Nilsson), and thunderous production to explore the highs and lows of love – and the lengths we’ll go to for it. From danceable hooks to emotional slow burns, each track is a chapter in a sonic manifesto.
This is more than a debut – it’s a declaration. Leah Martin-Brown is a cross-genre powerhouse, ready to stake her claim on the global stage.
“Love & Other Crimes” Tracklist:
1. Mr X 2. R U Chicken 3. Clooney 4. Levitate 5. Boys 6. Shush 7. Rainbow 8. Light Show 9. Hysterical Love 10. Hell No Kitty 11. Unscrew You
Line Up: Leah Martin-Brown – Vocals Tommy Denander – Guitars Tony Nilsson – Keyboards & Programming Leah Martin-Brown & Robert John “Mutt” Lange – Backing Vocals
