Following a breakthrough year that has taken them from Monsters of Rock Brazil to major support shows with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Sammy Hagar, electrifying UK rock band JAYLER unveil an ambitious cinematic video for ‘The Getaway’, built around freedom, brotherhood and the thrill of moving towards the unknown.

Filmed at Cotswold Airport, the video places JAYLER (James Bartholomew, Tyler Arrowsmith, Ricky Hodgkiss, Ed Evans) against a vast backdrop of runways, industrial hangars and open skies, alongside two extraordinary machines: a 1965 Ford Mustang and a Yakovlev Yak-3 warbird. Beginning at sunrise, the band arrive together in the Mustang before performing at the airfield. Dramatic aircraft flyovers, sweeping runway sequences and Tyler’s rooftop solo build towards a climactic golden-hour finale.

“‘The Getaway’ isn’t about running away – it’s about heading towards something. It’s freedom, brotherhood and chasing whatever comes next. No destination. No explanation. Just The Getaway” – JAYLER

‘The Getaway’ arrives after a standout year for the band, which saw them recently open for Guns N’ Roses at Monsters of Rock Brazil, followed by a run opening for Lynyrd Skynyrd in Brazil and multiple UK shows with Sammy Hagar.

Released in May, JAYLER’s debut album, Voices Unheard, reached No. 2 on the UK Independent Album Breakers Chart, No. 3 on the Official Rock & Metal Albums Chart and No. 5 on the Official Independent Albums Chart.

They now build on that momentum by joining rock legends Deep Purple as special guests for 37 arena shows across Europe and the UK, beginning in Sofia on 29 September and culminating at London’s Royal Albert Hall on 25 November.

Behind-the-scenes footage and live content captured on the road will continue the story of ‘The Getaway’ throughout the autumn, documenting JAYLER‘s journey as they bring their music to audiences across Europe.

The album artwork was created by Alvaro Valverde, an artist renowned for his work with Unanimated, Elvenking, Kreator and Konkhra.

With ‘Legacy Of The Dead’, The Headless Ghost open a new chapter in their history, pushing their sound towards darker, more extreme, technical and orchestral territories.

SHAKHTYOR Unleash Crushing First Single ‘Das Sechste Siegel’ from Upcoming Album “Simulacron”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 23, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SHAKHTYOR. Leave a comment

German heavy instrumental Doom/Post-Metal outfit SHAKHTYOR has unveiled “Das Sechste Siegel”, the crushing first single taken from the band’s forthcoming studio album “Simulacron”, set for release on November 6 via Moment of Collapse Records.

Listen to “Das Sechste Siegel” HERE

When SHAKHTYOR were formed in Hamburg in 2009, the direction initially seemed clear: instrumental doom. It soon became apparent, however, that the trio would not be content to stay within those confines. Doom and sludge collide with black and death metal eruptions, psychedelic jam passages, hypnotic grooves and spacey synthesizer textures. For SHAKHTYOR, genre boundaries are material to work with rather than limitations.

“Simulacron” is now the Hamburg trio’s third album, following their self-titled debut and its successor “Tunguska”. Once again recorded at Tonmeisterei, the album sounds anything but stagnant despite the band’s long history. Quite the opposite: the songwriting has become more concise and focused, while their musical boundaries have been pushed even further. Songs longer than 10 minutes are no exception.

The guitars remain the crushing foundation. Riff walls flatten everything in their path before the songs drift into psychedelic passages or are swept away by eruptive black/death metal assaults. Particularly effective are the long, stoic grooves that burrow almost hypnotically into your skull. SHAKHTYOR create pressure not through constant speed, but through dynamics, repetition and carefully constructed tension.

Samples and electronic soundscapes are far more than mere decoration. They give the songs a dark, at times almost cosmic atmosphere, making “Simulacron” feel like the soundtrack to some seriously twisted trip inside your head.

Tracklist:
01. Simulacron
02. Das Sechste Siegel
03. Alone
04. Wolfmannsgehau
05. Letzte Schleuse
06. Electric H

Seventeen years after their formation, SHAKHTYOR remain difficult to categorize. “Simulacron” combines crushing riff power with psychedelic depth and atmospheric finesse. A heavy, idiosyncratic beast – and precisely for that reason, one hell of an intriguing album.

“Simulacron” will be out November 6 on Moment of Collapse Records and is available for pre-order HERE.

SHAKHTYOR are:

Christian Müller
Nils Langbehn
Christian Herzog

EUROPE Unleash Video for Title Track of Upcoming Album “Come This Madness”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 23, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Europe. Leave a comment

Europe return with another powerful glimpse of their forthcoming studio album Come This Madness, unveiling the album’s powerful title track. The highly anticipated album, Come This Madness is out this Friday, September 25th via Silver Lining Music. Pre-orders are available here.

The song opens with razor-sharp metallic riffs, giving way to simmering verses that steadily build anticipation, culminating in a huge, explosive chorus driven by an instant anthemic hook. Carefully crafted dynamics move seamlessly between mellow, stripped-back passages and moments of intensity with powerhouse vocals and sweeping guitar solos.

“With Come This Madness, we wanted to write and produce songs in the spirit of the old days,” says Europe’s founding member and frontman Joey Tempest. “There are plenty of soaring melodies and big choruses, and we worked hard on the production. We had a lot of fun in the studio making the album. There are strong connections to our past throughout the record and I think a lot of Europe fans are going to love it!”

The track is accompanied by a video montage offering fans an intimate behind-the-scenes glimpse of Europe at work, capturing the hugely-in-demand band throughout the whirlwind campaign surrounding the album in 2026. Filmed on the road and amid the relentless schedule of a band operating at full speed, the footage captures Europe firing on all cylinders, brimming with energy, excitement and infectious chemistry. From the intensity of the live shows to the quieter moments in between, the footage offers a candid snapshot of a band fully immersed in the momentum of a major album campaign, as they take Come This Madness out into the world.

Europe’s new studio album Come This Madness marks another chapter in the enduring legacy of one of rock’s most celebrated bands as they channel tension, truth, and raw energy into a record that feels both deeply personal and globally resonant.

“With this album, I think we’ve looked around at what’s happening in the world and tried to describe some of it through the songs. But at the end of the day, it’s still entertainment, it’s still music, and most importantly, it’s still about having fun!” concludes Joey Tempest.

Watch and listen to Europe’s recently released and celebrated singles ‘The Cult of Ignorance’, ‘One on One’ and ‘Scandinavian Eyes’ here. Videos directed by Patric Ullaeus.

Building on the momentum surrounding the album’s release, Europe will also embark on an extensive tour to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Final Countdown.

Italian-Swiss NOISE IN MYSELF to Release New Single ‘Diary Of Enoch’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 23, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: NOISE IN MYSELF. Leave a comment

A journey beyond the boundaries of the human experience, through ancient mysteries, cosmic visions and progressive metal. The new single will be released on October 8, 2026 via Wanikiya Record/Promotion.

There are stories that belong to the distant past yet, despite the passing of centuries, continue to raise deeply relevant questions. Stories suspended between myth, spirituality, mystery and knowledge, capable of crossing time and transforming themselves into new forms of art.

It is from one of these ancient enigmas that “Diary of Enoch”, the new single by Italian-Swiss band Noise in Myself (NIM), was born. The track will be released on October 8, 2026 through Wanikiya Record/Promotion.

With this new song, the band opens a new and ambitious chapter in its artistic journey, once again exploring the introspective, cosmic and dreamlike dimension that has always been at the heart of its identity.

A JOURNEY THROUGH THE HEAVENS

Inspired by the Book of Enoch, one of the most enigmatic texts of ancient tradition, “Diary of Enoch” tells, through a visionary narrative, the ascent of the patriarch through the heavens, guided by angelic beings beyond the boundaries of the earthly world.

Enoch’s journey becomes a true experience of cosmic disorientation: before his eyes unfolds an immense and vertiginous universe governed by stars, fire and celestial powers, while far below, humanity continues to live trapped in matter and in its own chains.

But what Enoch witnesses is not merely a revelation.

It is also a confrontation between what human beings are capable of contemplating and what they cannot — or perhaps are not yet ready — to understand.

It is precisely within this tension between knowledge and ignorance, revelation and oblivion, that the soul of the song takes shape.

“Diary of Enoch” thus becomes much more than a simple story inspired by an ancient text: it is a reflection on the human condition, on the search for answers and on humanity’s eternal need to look beyond the boundaries of its own existence.

ANCIENT MYSTERIES AND THE CYCLES OF EXISTENCE

The new single also offers a first glimpse into the thematic direction that will shape the next chapter of Noise in Myself’s musical journey.

Myths, antediluvian mysteries, ancient knowledge and questions surrounding the origins of humanity enter into dialogue with a contemporary vision, creating a narrative universe in which the theory of the “ancient astronauts,” spirituality and the search for a deeper meaning intertwine without ever providing simple answers.

At the center remains the human being, with their shortcomings, fears and relentless need to explore.

A search that travels through the past in order to question the present.

THE NEW ERA OF NOISE IN MYSELF

Founded from an idea by guitarist and composer Enea Maina, born in 2004 and originally from the Lugano region, Noise in Myself began their journey in the summer of 2020, when Enea started writing the first riffs and lyrics and searching for the musicians who would help bring the project to life.

After the first months of remote work, affected by pandemic restrictions, the band was finally able to meet in the rehearsal room in May 2021, developing and arranging the material they had written.

Between August and November of the same year, the band performed its first shows at venues across the Canton of Ticino, while on March 7, 2022, their first single, “Rise to the Occasion,” was released on the band’s YouTube channel.

Just a few weeks later, the band signed with Wanikiya Records, releasing its debut album on April 9, 2022 across major digital platforms.

The journey continued with “Necessity of Exploration,” released on January 11, 2023 and accompanied by a music video, followed by “The Cosmonaut,” released on May 10 of the same year with an accompanying lyric video.

The two singles were subsequently included in the concept EP “Answers…”, released on June 23, 2023 and featuring five tracks.

Following an intense period of live activity and several lineup changes, the previous collaboration came to an end in late 2024.

But the story of Noise in Myself was far from over.

In August 2025, Enea Maina rebuilt the lineup, creating a new formation and opening a new creative chapter for the project.

Joining the band were soprano and vocalist Arianna Bellinaso (Aexylium), bassist Yuri Bordonali (Ecastor) and drummer Omar Mariani (formerly of Those Furious Flames).

A renewed lineup, new energy and a new musical vision are now leading Noise in Myself into an even more ambitious chapter.

The first single of this new era is scheduled for June 25, 2026, officially opening the way to the band’s new musical journey.

ALTERNATIVE PROGRESSIVE METAL: TECHNIQUE, ATMOSPHERE AND EXPLORATION

Musically, Noise in Myself have developed a distinctive language that can be described as Alternative Progressive Metal, blending the melodic qualities of the vocals with intricate guitar riffs, dark atmospheres and complex rhythms.

The influence of Tool and Leprous coexists with the atmospheres and sensibilities of artists such as Soen, Anathema and Porcupine Tree, creating a sound capable of moving between aggression, dynamics, melody and experimentation.

Music that does not seek merely to strike the listener, but above all to tell a story and encourage reflection.

The band’s songwriting follows the same philosophy.

Noise in Myself’s introspective lyrics revolve around themes of absence, searching and denunciation, drawing on the symbolism of ancient texts and the unresolved questions that have accompanied humanity throughout its history.

With “Diary of Enoch,” this exploration takes on an even greater dimension: from the individual to infinite space, from matter to the unknown, from ancient memory to questions about the future.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW JOURNEY

“Diary of Enoch” is not simply the new single by Noise in Myself.

It is a doorway.

A doorway into a narrative universe that the band will develop throughout its next musical chapter — a world of cosmic visions, ancient mysteries, knowledge, denunciation and questions about existence.

A journey that begins with a patriarch suspended between heaven and earth and reaches all the way to modern humanity, still searching for answers.

The sky opens. The stars are watching. Humanity remains below.

And perhaps, from up there, Enoch saw something that we have simply forgotten.
