Massachusetts metal and hardcore powerhouse FUMING MOUTH has unleashed their long-awaited third full-length album, The Ringing Bell, available now via Triple B Records. Marking the band’s first album with drummer Jay Weinberg, The Ringing Bell stands as FUMING MOUTH’s most dynamic, focused, and emotionally resonant work to date, channeling the band’s signature fusion of death metal, hardcore, and towering riffs into an album that is both devastatingly heavy and deeply human.

Recorded with acclaimed producer Kurt Ballou at GodCity Studio, The Ringing Bell expands on everything that has made FUMING MOUTH one of metal’s most compelling voices. Across eleven tracks—including the previously released singles “A Blaze of Nihilism“,” “Cheat Death,” and “Finally Fearless,” the record balances relentless aggression with moments of reflection and hard-earned optimism, documenting frontman Mark Whelan’s continued journey through adversity while pushing the band’s sound into bold new territory.

The album also introduces the first recorded collaboration between FUMING MOUTH and acclaimed drummer Jay Weinberg, whose explosive performance injects new energy into every song while seamlessly complementing the band’s crushing blend of death metal and hardcore. The partnership represents a natural evolution for both artist and band, resulting in one of the year’s most anticipated heavy releases.

JONATHAN DAY releases new single “Canticle Of The Sun And Moon”, out now on Revolver/Warner Records.

“Jonathan Day is a musician of movement and of place – an artist who, whether through the experience of travel or through deep contemplation of his surroundings, has come to terms with his place in the world – and it is utterly beautiful.” Thomas Blake, Folk Radio UK

Jonathan and the band play alt folk with a piquancy that has been called ‘contemporary rural music’ from the Welsh borders.

New album “Raven And Tamarisk” is ready for release – their previous album Sakura, (February ’23), was called “extraordinary” by the BBC, and spawned ‘Windflower’ picked up widely by French radio. Its predecessor a Spirit Library was Folk Radio’s Album of the Year, described by them as “utterly beautiful”. 

Last year saw the band touring widely, finishing with a headline slot at Festival in the Desert in the Sahara and performing at charity Playing for Change’s African Zamane Festival. Their music has been entangled and sophisticated at festivals in Jamaica, Hong Kong, Italy, Poland, Belarus, Germany, France, the US and Thailand as well as the UK, where mainstage gigs have included Bestival, Landed, FatE and many others.

The band sing in English, Welsh and Hindi. The band’s performances are enhanced by original projections made by animator, illustrator and filmmaker friends.

“Poetic, elemental…” Andy Fyfe, Q Magazine *****
“Stunning” Bob Harris, BBC
“a voice like Scott Walker and Jim Morrison – dark as chocolate on a still night” Stirrings Magazine

” David Kidman, Fatea Magazine

Jonathan and band play alt folk/world/contemporary rural music rooted in the Welsh borders. Recent festivals in Jamaica, Hong Kong, Italy, Austria, Thailand and UK, mainstage at Bestival, Landed, FatE etc. Album ‘A Spirit Library’ was Folk Radio’s Album of the Year.

Following several festival appearances across Europe and Italy, italian Thrashers XENOS A.D. return with their new single, “Necronemesi (The World Obliteration Pt. 1)”.

The track marks the first XENOS A.D. recording to feature new guitarist Roy Zappia. Mixed and mastered by Tommy Talamanca at Nadir Studios in Genoa, the song showcases an even heavier and more aggressive side of the band.

Ignazio Nicastro comments:

“‘Necronemesi’ is the perfect snapshot of who XENOS A.D. are today. Roy’s arrival was truly providential; he has given the band a new dimension that clearly shines through in the song—undoubtedly one of the highlights of our career.”

Chart-topping veterans THEORY OF A DEADMAN are proud to release their new single, “Funeral Song,” taken from the upcoming EP, ‘Part 1: Funeral Songs,’ set for release on September 4, 2026 via ONErpm.

Marking a new chapter for the band, comprising Tyler Connolly, Dave Brenner, Dean Back, and Joe Dandeneau, the upcoming EP delivers their signature mix of gritty riffs, anthemic hooks, and unfiltered lyricism with a renewed sense of urgency.

On the new track, Connolly shares:

“We’ve all had that person that we wish would go away or just crawl up and die. That’s the anthem here with ‘Funeral Song.’ But like a lot of things we do over here at the THEORY headquarters, it’s to be taken in jest as we always promote taking the moral high ground. Ironically after all these years this is the first song we’ve written about a ‘DEADMAN.’“

Stream the single here: https://onerpm.link/funeralsong

THEORY OF A DEADMAN have carved out their own lane as one of modern rock’s most unapologetic forces, racking up multi-platinum hits, chart-topping albums, and sold-out shows worldwide. Blending witty, candid songwriting with undeniable riffs and massive melodic hooks, the Canadian quartet—Tyler Connolly, Dean Back, Dave Brenner, and Joe Dandeneau—have built a career defined by both attitude and staying power.

From fan favorites like “Santa Monica” to gold-certified hit “All Or Nothing,” platinum singles “Hate My Life” and “Bitch Came Back,” and the double-platinum “Not Meant To Be,” the band has delivered a steady stream of rock staples. They’ve landed twelve Top 10 hits on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, including four #1 singles: “Bad Girlfriend,” “Lowlife,” “History Of Violence,” and “Rx (Medicate).” The latter stands as the biggest hit of their career, earning a nomination for “Rock Song of the Year” at the iHeartRadio Music Awards.

Along the way, TOAD have achieved two Top 10 debuts on the Billboard 200, four Top 5 debuts on the Canadian Albums Chart, and multiple Juno Award nominations, while drawing praise from outlets including American Songwriter, Billboard, and Classic Rock Magazine.

Now, THEORY OF A DEADMAN are ready to further their prolific career with the release of their new EP, ‘Part 1: Funeral Songs,’ out on September 4th with ONErpm.

KALT VINDUR Release New Video ‘The Void Of Time’ & Reveal Details of Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 20, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: KALT VINDUR. Leave a comment

Formed in 2015 in Dukla, southern Poland, KALT VINDUR have steadily built their reputation as one of the most distinctive acts emerging from the Polish black metal underground. Blending melody, atmosphere and raw intensity, the band developed its own artistic identity, often described as Subcarpathian Black Metal.

Following their debut album “Delusions” (2017) and the critically acclaimed “And Nothing Is Endless” (2020), KALT VINDUR entered a new chapter in 2023 by signing with the Greek label The Circle Music. The collaboration resulted in the release of “Magna Mater” (2024), widely regarded as a breakthrough album in the band’s career and a milestone in the evolution of their sound.

Now, KALT VINDUR return with their fourth full-length album, “The Void Of Time“, scheduled for release on November 27th, 2026 via The Circle Music.

Building upon the foundations established by “Magna Mater“, the new album further refines the band’s musical vision. Rooted in black metal yet driven by strong songwriting, expressive melodies and emotional depth, “The Void Of Time” balances aggression with atmosphere while showcasing KALT VINDUR‘s most mature and cohesive material to date. The album embraces both darkness and melancholy without losing its sense of grandeur, creating a powerful and immersive listening experience.

“The Void Of Time” was produced by Artur Szydło and Krzysztof Kokosiński, who also handled mixing and mastering duties. Lyrics were written by Wojciech Kozub, while all music was composed by Artur Szydło. Drums and vocals were recorded by Grzegorz Gnat at Regnat Audio Studio in Cieklin. Additional synths on the outro of “Jesień” were performed by Krzysztof Kokosiński, while Artur Szydło contributed synths and bass guitar to “On The Way To…”. The album artwork was created by acclaimed artist Maciej Kamuda (Blut Aus Nord, Spaceslug, Sunnata), with layouts and additional artwork prepared by Paweł Kuranda (Zørormr, Doctor Visor). Band photography was done by Karol “Panku” Pankiewicz.

The album will be released digitally (pre-save), on jewel case CD, and on vinyl in two colour variants (transparent marbled blue & black and marbled pink & black). Pre-orders are available via The Circle Music webshop.

Artur Szydło comments:

“The Void Of Time is another step deeper into our musical world. It was created without calculations or any predetermined plan, evolving naturally as a flow of energy translated into sound. Perhaps it is slightly rawer in places, yet it remains deeply rooted in melody and emotion. Although black metal continues to be its foundation, musicality and sincerity of expression are what matter most to us. Those elements give each composition its own distinct character and depth.“

KALT VINDUR presents the official video to the title track “The Void Of Time“, now available on all streaming platforms (single pre-save). The video is being premiered worldwide by Invisible Oranges and in Poland by KVLT.

TRACKLIST:
01. Suspended In Emptiness
02. The Void Of Time
03. In Silence
04. Lost In Infinity
05. The Path Of Sin
06. On The Way To…
