Wormholedeath is thrilled to present the latest video from Belgium’s electro-fun-metal mischief-makers BOUM PATAT. The track, “Mort Subite,” is taken from the band’s upcoming debut album Ma Belgitude, due for release 31 October 2025.
Blending heavy riffs, pounding rhythms, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics, “Mort Subite” is a darkly humorous anthem about living fast and embracing the inevitable. With its ironic church-mass setting, the video raises an eyebrow (and a glass) at life’s most certain outcome. The result? A track that’s equal parts existential reflection and chaotic party fuel. Because let’s face it—if the end is coming, you might as well headbang your way there.

About:
BOUM PATAT is the new electro fun metal project by Belgian musician Olivier Wittenberg, former drummer-composer of Manic Movement. In the 2000s, he toured Europe with bands like Kreator, Moonspell, and Psychotic Waltz, and played major festivals such as Graspop Metal Meeting.
After a long break, he returns with Ma Belgitude, a self-produced solo debut that blends heavy metal, Belgian humor, and old-school electronic sounds. BOUM PATAT breaks metal’s usual codes—serious and absurd at once, mixing groove, industrial, and electronic punch with offbeat themes and playful visuals.
Live, the project becomes a trio with Laurent Soulasse (bass) and Maxime Demulder (drums).
Line up: Olivier Wittenberg – vocals, songwriter, composer, producer, instruments Jérémie Vasile – guitar
Iranian thall/deathcore act Redvi doubles down on nihilistic views in its new song “Ashes To Gashes” along with its music video. The up-and-coming band seamlessly mixes dissonant heavy riffs with melodic piano lines with extremely atmospheric guitar leads. The song captures the duality of beauty and ugliness within the concept of hope.
Opening with a melancholic piano line “Ashes To Gashes” soon after drives straight into action with dissonant and heavy thall riffs creating a suffocating feeling. The whole production masterfully creates that uneasy almost uncomfortable feeling in the pit of one’s stomach when something is wrong. Even the melodic chorus doesn’t stray far from this ominous atmosphere that the song propagates. It merely acts as a contrasting force within the same atmosphere. Knowing that “Ashes To Gashes” is about hope reveals why the song sounds the way that it does. Hope is a double edged sword, it can propel people towards greatness and also drown them in misery when it doesn’t pay off. Redvi’s overall message is that hope doesn’t necessarily lead to happiness and success and often-times when the rush of hope disappears, there is nothing left but ruin. It perfectly parallels the band’s origin. Any Iranian will tell you how the feeling of hopes and dreams being crushed constantly feels like. In essence, Redvi managed to bring the dark side of hope to life with its punishing new single “Ashes To Gashes”. Redvi also moves past that realization into defiance against the concept of hope. Repeated refrains of refusal (“Not AGAIN”, “NO more lies”) transform the lyrics into an act of final severance: not just rage, but a hard-earned insistence on self-preservation.
Redvi’s vocalist Aryan Mohammadi had this to add about “Ashes to Gashes”: “I tried to capture a specific process in my mind with this song. We fight with hopelessness everyday. It’s a constant battle that drains us to the bone. At the end of the day when we fail and we’ve given up, we realize that we’ve just been fighting with ourselves and have become the symbol of that same hopelessness.” The music video courtesy of Erfan Zirak and Sajjad Karimrad showcases the song’s concept perfectly. Themes of suffering and defiance thereafter prevail in the music video with the white evil figure symbolizing the concept of suffocating hope.

US heavy metal hardliners KILL RITUAL return with their new studio album “In My Head”, which will be released on November 21st, 2025 via Massacre Records.

The track, explains guitarist and main songwriter Steven D. Rice, explores the unsettling fascination with alien theories and the idea that our gods might return—not to save us, but to remind us that we are not alone. “Do you really want to know?” he asks, setting the dark and provocative tone of the release.

Rice, the album was mixed and mastered by Andy LaRocque at Sonic Train Studio in Sweden, and enriched visually by the artwork of Jobert Mello at Sledgehammer Graphix.

Swedish melodic rock band Treat unveil today their new single and official lyric video “One Minute To Breathe”, ahead of the upcoming new studio album, titled “The Wild Card” and set for release on November 21, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
Guitarist Anders Wikström described the new single: “On one hand, it’s about losing a dear one and reflecting over your moments together. But also, a celebration of life and purpose. In the big picture, we only have one minute to breathe, so make it count and find what really matters”.
Swedish melodic rock pioneers Treat are set to make a bold statement in 2025 with the release of their tenth studio album, “The Wild Card”.
Arriving three years after their critically acclaimed 2022 release “The Endgame”, the album continues the band’s legacy of delivering high-energy melodic hard rock with massive hooks, layered harmonies, and stadium-sized anthems.
Guitarist Anders Wikström discussed about how the album came to life: “I set out to write an album that would be a musical timeline for our whole career and it carries the message in each song both musically and lyrically. It takes the band full circle, something that I actually had in mind with our last album “The Endgame” and have now completed”.
“We made this album for us and the fans, and we became better at what we do together with our producer Peter Månsson. This is the first album we’ve made that actually has a story timeline imbedded, subtle but still there, starting from the early 80s up until now, and every song stands on their own in a collection of the best songs we could muster”, he continued.
Wikström concluded: “I’m really proud of “The Wild card”, it’s the strongest collection of songs we’ve put out since a long time, everybody in the band is really showcasing their best ability on this record and worked really hard to make this very special, to make the band’s legacy memorable”.
“The Wild Card” Tracklist:
1. Out With A Bang 2. Rodeo 3. 1985 4. Endeavour 5. Hand On Heart 6. Heaven’s Waiting 7. Back To The Future 8. Mad Honey 9. Adam & Evil 10. Your Majesty 11. Night Brigade 12. In The Blink Of An Eye 13. One Minute To Breathe
Formed in Stockholm in the early 1980s, Treat quickly rose to prominence with their blend of melodic hard rock and AOR, sharing the spotlight with fellow Scandinavian acts like Europe and Pretty Maids.
After a decade of success, lineup changes and industry shifts led to a hiatus in the 1990s – but the band returned stronger than ever with their 2006 reunion, ushering in a new era of creative resurgence and fan devotion across Europe, Japan, and beyond.
“The Wild Card” marks their fifth album since the reunion and solidifies the chemistry of their current, long-standing lineup: Robert Ernlund (vocals), Anders Wikström (guitar), Patrick Appelgren (keyboards), Jamie Borger (drums), and Nalley Pahlsson (bass).
The album is once again produced and mixed by Peter Månsson, whose collaboration with the band continues to deliver the polished, punchy sound fans have come to love.
Armed with fresh energy and an unwavering commitment to their roots, Treat are ready to show the world that “The Wild Card” is anything but a gamble – it’s a winning hand from a band that’s still at the top of their game.
Line Up: Robert Ernlund – Lead Vocals Anders Wikström – Guitars/Vocals Jamie Borger – Drums Patrick Appelgren – Keyboards/Vocals Nalle Påhlsson – Bass/Vocals
Italian melodic death metal band 5RAND will release their long-awaited third album, “Ordhalia”, on November 28th, 2025 via Art Gates Records. The record was produced by Marco Mastrobuono (Fleshgod Apocalypse, Hour Of Penance) and mastered by Jens Bogren (Kreator, Opeth).
The video for the new single “Bloodlife” is out now – watch itHERE.
“Bloodlife” is a suffocating descent into the labyrinth of mental neuroses, where every breath feels stolen and every shadow weighs like stone. The song portrays life when anxiety and anguish become constant companions: signals from the body screaming that something is wrong, yet at the same time trapping us in an exhausting cycle. It is like breathing through a gas mask: survival is possible, but always at a cost.
The music video turns this torment into a visceral tableau where horror and reality collide. Frontwoman Julia Elenoir is imprisoned and tortured by a female figure in a gas mask, symbolizing that inner alarm which both suffocates and consumes. It is not just a representation, but a true visual exorcism… Raw, cinematic and deeply unsettling.
Musically, “Bloodlife” erupts with relentless riffs, hammering rhythms, and a growl that explodes like a buried scream, ferocious and desperate at once. 5RAND channel their modern metal roots into a vortex that is both devastating and intimate: a sound that chains, overwhelms and leaves no room to breathe.
Album tracklist:
1. Lullaby for the Broken 2. Bloodlife 3. Ordhalia 4. The Nihilist (feat. M. Silvestro / Fear Factory) 5. Double Bind 6. Turbid 7. Ritual of Silence 8. Lethargy 9. Resurge in Death 10. Silent Line
Hailing from Rome, Italy, 5RAND builds on a punishing modern metal foundation, layered with the cinematic depth of melodic death metal, creating an intense and emotionally immersive soundscape. Fronted by the dynamic dual vocals of Julia Elenoir – shifting seamlessly from visceral growls to haunting clean melodies – the band has carved out a distinctive place in the modern metal scene.
Founded by Pierluigi Carocci (guitar), Acey Guns (bass), Andrea De Carolis (drums), and Elenoir (vocals), 5RAND first made waves with their debut “Sacred/Scared”, followed by the critically acclaimed “Dark Mother”. The band has since toured extensively across Europe, sharing the stage with iconic acts such as Dark Tranquillity, Vader, Butcher Babies, Infected Rain, and many others.
In 2025, 5RAND will unveil their most ambitious work to date – a bold new album mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios, featuring a powerful guest appearance by the new Fear Factory vocalist, Milo Silvestro. This upcoming release signals a sonic evolution: darker, more introspective, and conceptually daring.
The band’s name, drawn from a chance encounter with a shaman and a South African 5 Rand coin, symbolizes unexpected paths and transformative experiences. Their music explores themes of identity, emotional detachment, philosophy, and human resilience, all woven together through a multidisciplinary artistic vision that spans both sound and visuals.
