Since the unholy reunion between the two MYSTIC CIRCLE founders A. Blackwar and Beelzebub in 2021, the Germanic black metal wargods are stronger than ever. What began anew in 2022 with the self-titled “Mystic Circle” album and was rewarded with a sensational #78 place in the German album charts, was continued the following year with “Erzdämon” and now completed with “Hexenbrand 1486”. The band’s forthcoming studio offering has been announced for a release on October 31, 2025 via ROAR, and will be available on CD and Vinyl (both featuring a comic) as well as Digital formats. The pre-sale has just started at: https://mysticcircle.rpm.link/hexenbrandPR
MYSTIC CIRCLE sound unmistakable, their trademarks are manifold and their hunger seems almost insatiable. What the duo has created in recent years is unparalleled and continues the legacy that the band created in the nineties with their classics “Drachenblut” (1998) and “Infernal Satanic Verses” (1999). MYSTIC CIRCLE themselves describe their style as melodic extreme metal, their very own mix of old-school death and black metal, traditional heavy metal of the eighties and horror soundtracks.
“More serious, more respectful and more authentic” is the definition of the tenth MYSTIC CIRCLE epic “Hexenbrand 1486” – a statement that certainly applies to the formation’s attitude. “It’s a journey through time in the Mystic Circle universe. The album is very varied and each song has its own dominance. We could release every track as a single and that says a lot about the strength of the longplayer,” emphasizes A. Blackwar.
About their new single, “Ghost Of Whitechapel”, frontman Beelzebub adds: “The classic Jack the Ripper story from the monster’s point of view. We did a lot of research, from the alleged letters written by the original killer to the verses he is said to have spoken to himself. Inspired by the comic “From Hell’, which is a true masterpiece, we had to make the song.”
“Hexenbrand 1486”, produced with Nils Lesser, is largely about the ‘Malleus Maleficarum’, the hammer of witches, which was written in Speyer/Germany in the year 1486. “We are lucky to live near well-known events and dark legends. Our Nibelungen cult “Drachenblut” comes from our region, as does the concept in the second part of the new record about Heinrich “Institoris” Kramer, the author of the Hexenhammer,” A. Blackwar explains.
“Heinrich Kramer embodies everything we hate about the holy institution of the church. He was a vile sadist who acted out his resentment towards women under the cloak of Christian scripture. The Hexenhammer is the work of a madman and should encourage everyone even more to leave the church and follow their own path of faith,” says Beelzebub.
The horror flair of the 80s already played a major role in the duo’s style on “Mystic Circle” and “Erzdämon”. On “Hexenbrand 1486” they consistently go one step further and add dark synth wave passages in appropriate places, with a comparable flair to legendary horror shockers and soundtracks by Dario Argento, who used synthesizers in his very own way.
In keeping with the theme of witches, three women are represented on “Hexenbrand 1486”: The two singers Sarah Jezebel Deva (ex-CRADLE OF FILTH, THE KOVENANT) and Karo Hafke (UMBRA ET IMAGO, GIANTS CAUSAWAY) as well as Natalie Ostermaier, the author and illustrator of the book “Kramer”, from which the accompanying comic is taken, that is integrated in the CD booklet and comes with the vinyl first edition as a 12-page A5 comic. “Sarah has once again taken on the classic part. This time it’s different with Karo. She carries the album with her voice and embodies the countless women who were burned and tortured because of sick fantasies back then. She gives the new album a special stamp. Natalie Ostermaier and her book “Kramer” came into play through the concept. She liked the idea of using an excerpt from her book for our album, and so what had to come together came together.”
Following the album release of “Hexenbrand 1486” on October 31, 2025, MYSTIC CIRCLE will increasingly focus on the announced live presence, which is scheduled to kick off in South America and Mexico in spring 2026. The band recently signed a booking deal with Flaming Arts (POSSESSED, BELPHEGOR, GOD DETHRONED and others). They are looking for support from guest musicians to complete the band live. “We’re going to do a lot, because we like the old stage shows of great masters like W.A.S.P, DIO or ALICE COOPER.”
Five years after the release of Paradiso (2020)—the final chapter of their trilogy dedicated to The Divine Comedy—STARBYNARY returns with an ambitious new project.
On September 27, 2025, via Elevate Records, they will unveil Romeo and Juliet, Pt. I, the first volume of a concept album inspired by William Shakespeare’s timeless tragedy.
Led by founding members Joe Caggianelli (vocals) and Luigi Accardo (keyboards), Starbynary continues their exploration at the crossroads of literature and music, shifting focus from Dante’s epic to Shakespearean drama.
The new work navigates progressive terrain with intricate structures, complex harmonies, and a refined dialogue between modernity and tradition—drawing influences from Baroque lyricism to 17th-century Italian music.
Alongside returning members Alfonso Mocerino (drums) and Sebastiano Zanotto (bass), the band welcomes guitarist Alessandro Cossu (formerly of Ashent), whose contribution promises to enrich their sound. Adding further brilliance to the album is guest soprano Anna Piroli, a Baroque specialist, who lends her voice to the role of Juliet.
Romeo and Juliet, Pt. I will be available in physical and digital formats.
Stockholm’s pioneering “dynamic root rock” outfit SIENA ROOT proudly present their second single and video, ‘Outlander (live),’from their monumental double live album “Made in KuBa,” releasing October 3, 2025 on Perception – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music.
The audio was recorded during the band’s legendary March 2024 performances at Germany’s Kulturbahnhofin Jena – with every note captured straight to tape, no overdubs, and no safety net. Completed by footage capturing SIENA ROOT where they feel home the most – on stage – ‘Outlander’bursts with analogue intensity. The result is unfiltered, immediate, and vivid: a sonic journey from shadow into light and full of organic tension.
As the band explains: “‘Outlander’ was the first song we worked on for our “A Dream Of Lasting Peace” album. It was one of those songs that came to us in a very natural way. The lyrics paved the way for the common thread that the rest of the album’s tracks would come to follow. A big part of that was how everyone in the band contributed to the songwriting – something that really defined the creative process this time around. This live recording features the extra energy and tension that the song deserves.”
The release follows the first single ‘Wishing For More (live),’ and offers another glimpse into the sound and spirit of the upcoming live album “Made in KuBa.”
Pre‑orders are live for double digipak CD and half-speed mastered black double vinyl editions for maximum analogue depth:https://sienaroot.rpm.link/madeinkubaPR

The Las Vegas-based gold-certified, hard-rock titans, OTHERWISE, triumphantly return with a brand new EP and label home.
Some Kind of Alchemy EP will be released 22nd August via Seek and Strike.
To celebrate the news, the duo have revealed their new single and video, ‘Stop, Drop & Roll (Doesn’t Work In Hell)’. A hard-driving banger with a massive catchy chorus, ‘Stop, Drop & Roll (Doesn’t Work In Hell)’ will quickly garner your undivided attention.
OTHERWISE have returned to their roots and re-embraced their classic harder rock sound, reminiscent of their widely acclaimed debut album.
OTHERWISE state: “Signing with Seek and Strike was honestly a very easy decision for us. The label was co-founded by a dear friend who has believed in the band and our message since our inception. He cares about us and vice versa, which is saying a lot for the music business.
“The first single, ‘Stop, Drop and Roll (Doesn’t Work in Hell),’ was initially conceptualized years ago, in the midst of the Iraq War. We thought about the sacrifice of our fellow poet-warriors in military service and the lies that were being propagated to justify the actions of those in power. Another truly beautiful aspect of this release was our chance to reconnect with the incomparable Dave McMahan (our original drummer), who helped us focus all of that early fire into formidable performance art. The raw, sleek simplicity of those days was perfectly captured in the video for the song by its talented director, Lance Gergar. The intro gave us goosebumps the first time watching it. Plus, for me (Adrian) personally, getting to rock my balls off barefoot in a corporate elevator and NOT get arrested, is a hell of a statement!
“Returning to our roots with this EP is truly exciting for us and getting to do it with our friends and family at Seek and Strike is nothing short of righteous. We can’t thank our die-hard fans for all of their continued support and hopefully we’re hopeful to add a whole new legion of supporters to the fold with this next release. See you all soon.”
Tracklisting:
1 Bloody Knuckles, Broken Glass 2 Has Anyone Seen My God Damn Dignity? 3 Stop, Drop & Roll (Doesn’t Work In Hell) 4 I Am Spartacus 5 Shapes Of Metal 6 Emerson Road
OTHERWISE have been an unrelenting force in the unforgiving trenches of the music industry, for the past two decades. Consisting of blood brothers Adrian and Ryan Patrick, the powerhouse duo behind the Las Vegas hard rock outfit, they’ve turned scars into anthems and stages into battlefields, earning RIAA Gold Certification for their breakout hit ‘Soldiers’ a modern rock classic born from the grit of the independent grind. Raised in a city of illusions, the Patrick brothers built something real: a fiercely loyal fanbase they call The Family Wise, bonded not by hype but by heart.
Over 250 million streams later, their legacy isn’t just loud, it’s ever-lasting. Through their nonprofit Life By Music, the brothers use their platform to give back, delivering instruments, lessons, and life-changing experiences to at-risk youth and veterans nationwide. Every note they play carries purpose. Every show is a family affair and every song is a battle cry from two brothers who refuse to ever back down.
Australian death metal titans Monoliyth return with “He Who Kills”, a savage slab of heavy and raw brutality. This is death metal stripped to the bone — no gimmicks, no polish, just pure violent intent.
This is a rage anthem for the utterly broken — no redemption, no remorse, just violent catharsis. Whether seen as a story of vengeance, a dive into madness, or a metaphor for inner demons, “He Who Kills” delivers unapologetic extremity, both lyrically and thematically.
Formed in 1998 in Melbourne by guitarist Mick Barr, Monoliyth has carved a path from classic thrash into a focused force of brutal death metal. Known for their unrelenting live shows and uncompromising intensity, the band fuses old-school grit with technical precision — a signature that continues to evolve with each release.
