The wait is over—Limberlost is back with their powerful and highly anticipated new single, “Alien”, the lead track from their upcoming concept album, Beautiful Scars. Blending soul-stirring vocals, deep rock grooves, heavy guitars, and a touch of industrial metal, “Alien” takes listeners on an emotional and sonic journey like never before.
This anthemic rock masterpiece blurs the lines between dysphoria, self-identity, and the mysteries of the universe. It speaks to those moments of isolation, questioning one’s place in the world, and the deep desire to understand who we are and why we are here. With haunting melodies and a relentless rhythm section, “Alien” delivers a gripping soundscape of raw emotion and intensity, setting the tone for the epic narrative of Beautiful Scars.
Taking influence from Evanescence, Linkin Park, and Within Temptation, Limberlost pushes the boundaries of modern rock, crafting a sound that is both cinematic and crushingly powerful. “Alien” is more than just a song—it’s an experience, a rallying cry for those who have ever felt lost, different, or disconnected.
Get ready to immerse yourself in the anthem of self-discovery and cosmic wonder—“Alien” is here, and it’s only the beginning. Stream it now and join the movement.

Beyond Forgiveness unveils their latest offering, the powerful new single “Cold as Winter’s Ice”, accompanied by a visually captivating lyric video. This title track serves as the first glimpse into their upcoming album, set for release July 18, 2025.
The forthcoming album dives deeper into the wilderness of universal human experience, pushing the boundaries of symphonic metal even further.
Where light and darkness interweave, where brutal death metal and angelic classical voices coexist on the same plane, and a story land of myth and legend transport you away into a realm of symphonic beautality, you will encounter the band Beyond Forgiveness.
The U.S. based band emerged in 2014 as a studio project formed by death metal guitarists Greg Witwer and Richard Marcus. Eventually the band solidified its lineup collaborating with classical vocalist and orchestrator Talia Hoit, drummer Sean Rogers, and bassist Jim Lasselle, combining contrasting musical styles into an epic adventure of symphonic metal.
In 2016, the band released an EP, The Ferryman’s Shore. The release was embraced by the underground symphonic metal scene with rave reviews, and the band’s signature sound was dubbed “beautality”. The band followed with touring in Europe and two additional full length albums, The Great Wall in 2017, and Live to Tell the Story in 2019, each becoming more symphonically charged. With lyrics ranging from emotional turmoil to Tolkien-esque fantasy, the music explores the paradoxes of a wide range of human experience and musical style. Incorporating extreme metal elements, as well as classical composition, the band continues to push boundaries to create art as a metaphor of life.
Fans can experience the chilling grandeur of “Cold as Winter’s Ice” now, as Beyond Forgiveness continues their journey—blending extreme metal, classical composition, and storytelling into a soundscape unlike any other.
Beyond Forgiveness is:
Vocals/Orchestration: Talia Hoit Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals: Greg Witwer Drums: Sean Rogers
With additional performances on the album: Rhythm Guitar/Vocals: Richard Marcus Bass: Jim Lasselle Flute: Ann Vest

When Sexagisma broke up, unremarked and barely recorded, in the mid-1980s, even the band’s own members doubted we’d ever hear their name again.
Formed in 1981 as a glam rock party piece, but swiftly developing into one of the most entertaining, not to mention visual, bands on the UK club circuit, Sexagisma made their vinyl debut on that year’s Sing As We Go various artists collection.
A scrapbook’s worth of press mentions and gig flyers followed, as Sexagisma wowed audiences opening for everyone from torch song diva Mari Wilson to goth pioneers Specimen, from the then newly-emerged The Alarm to revitalized glam hit makers The Glitter Band. Twice in three months they stunned The Batcave’s traditionally dour and darkest denizens; they gave the London Marquee its most glittering evening in years… they were, insisted prestigious UK weekly Melody Maker, “ratty and tatty and oozing subterranean sleazeball brilliance.”
But it was also the mid-1980s, and potential pop stardom was built around some very narrowly defined musical templates. And a band that Melody Maker, again, described as “trash rockers… who make The Sweet look like vicars” was never going to break that glass ceiling.
So the band split, the members dispersed, and a fistful of cassettes, a smattering of demos and a few concert recordings were quietly archived. Life went on… a full 40 years worth.
But some fans never forgot. A dedicated Facebook page attracted almost 700 followers based upon fond memories alone; a retrospective article in Goldmine magazine teased American audiences with a resounding “what if?”; and now, with their long, long, loooong delayed debut album poised for release, frontman and songwriter Vaughan Funnell admits, “I’m shocked.” For so many years, “Sexagisma was a bit of a joke about something I did in my 20s. And now, immortalized in plastic. Pink plastic!!!!”
Available also on CD and digital, From The Batcave 1981-1985 comprises 13 Funnell originals, plus a slew of CD bonus tracks drawn from the band’s glam-spanning repertoire of covers – David Bowie, Alice Cooper and The Sweet among them. All have been remastered from the original recordings; all recapture the sheer mayhem and magnificence of Sexagisma in full flight.
First, however, the band’s traditional set opener “Monster Fun” va-va-vooms out of the vault, a high octane “Batcave Deadly Mix” vivaciously remodeled by Die Krupps frontman Jurgen Engler – no stranger himself, of course, to the scene and sounds that nurtured Sexagisma in the first place… and revisiting it, too, with Die Krupps currently on tour with Ministry.
Sexagisma’s accompanying video, too, pays wide-eyed tribute to a live show that featured everything from onstage disemboweling to (probably) simulated sex, with the occasional fire-eater thrown in for good measure. Or, as another period review put it, “a blur of lame and leopardskin, a stage full of smoke… and boy dancer Andy spurting fake blood through the top of his head.”
Earlier this month, CREMATORY have released their 17th studio album “Destination”, that is out on ROAR at THIS LOCATION.
With “Destination”, CREMATORY return to the Champions League, even placing their new masterpiece in the Top 10 of the German album charts straight away!
Now, as a gift for the great support of their fans, the iconic dark metal pioneers have announced to reissue the first demo and their first two albums from their distinctive back catalogue: “Engulfed in Darkness” (Demo, 1992), “Transmigration” (1993) and “…Just Dreaming” (1994) on limited colored vinyl, slated for a re-release on July 4th via ROAR!
CREMATORY were founded in January 1991 and have grown to become Germany’s leading gothic metal band, with 17 studio albums to their name. Their versatile sound ranges from melodic death metal to electro/dark wave-inspired parts, some of which are performed in German. In over three decades, CREMATORY have released numerous classics, including unmistakable hits such as “Tears Of Time”, “Shadows Of Mine”, “Fly”, “The Fallen”, “Greed”, “Shadowmaker”, or from their current chartbreaker “Destination”, the grandiose “Welt aus Glas”. Alongside 90s cult acts such as TYPE O NEGATIVE, TIAMAT, MOONSPELL, THE GATHERING and PARADISE LOST, CREMATORY are one of the most successful representatives of their genre.
“Engulfed In Darkness” is their very first demo tape, released in February 1992, now available for the first time as a Mini-LP, limited to 500 copies in colored vinyl! The line-up at the time, featuring singer Felix Stass and drummer Markus Jüllich, included guitarist Lotte Först and bassist Marc Zimmer.

With melodic death metal anthems such as “Shadows Of Mine”, “Only Once In A Lifetime” and “In My Hands”, CREMATORY hit the ravages of time and enjoyed increasing popularity. Together with ATROCITY and TIAMAT, they toured Europe for the first time. “…Just Dreaming” will be now coming out as limited edition colored vinyl, also remastered by Rolf Munkes!
