GRAMMY® Award-winning bassist David Ellefson (ex-Megadeth) and acclaimed metal vocalist Jeff Scott Soto have unleashed the official music video for their hard-hitting single “SOAB”, taken from the band’s sophomore album Unbreakable, out now via Rat Pak Records.
“This song represents the savage, raw and punk side of all of us in this band! The same as the world common bond is we sleep, eat and blink our eyes daily, we ALL know and have encountered a true S.O.A.B. in our lifetimes…this is their theme song!” says Soto.
Filmed at Rogue Recording Studios inLondon (UK), the “SOAB” video was directed by Elia Turra. The video is powerful, loud, and outrageous—made to be cranked at full volume!
In addition, fans will have the chance to watch Ellefson-Soto live for the first time on April 9, 2026, when the band makes their debut performance at the legendary Whisky A Go-Go in Hollywood, California. Immediately after, the band will take to the seas as part of the Monsters of Rock Cruise, sailing April 12–16 out of Miami, Florida.
The duo Ellefson-Soto is joined by Italian guitarist Andy Martongelli and Paolo Caridi on drums. Unbreakable features 11 studio tracks with guest appearances from Tim Ripper Owens (KK’s Priest) and Burning Witches front-woman Laura Guldemond.
Recorded at Rogue Studios in Wembley UK, by Alessio Garavello and produced by Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Korn, Flat Black) “Unbreakable” is a sonic assault packed with catchy riffs, melodic vocals, and thoughtful lyrics that blends their classic metal roots with modern rock intensity.
“This album digs even deeper,” says Ellefson. “It’s heavier, more personal, and shaped by everything we’ve experienced on and off the stage.” Soto adds, “The energy we poured into this one—it’s the sound of two lifetimes colliding in riffs, rage, and redemption.”
Ellefson further comments, “One of the things I like most is I feel like you can hear a real sense of brotherhood on our records, that we’re really in the creative process together as a band. The consistency of our sound has remained intact while allowing us to further build upon each other’s strengths from our debut album. It’s an honest, organic approach that blends well and lets us explore new sounds and musical paths. At the end of the day, I don’t think there is anything that an artist desires more than that!”
“Unbreakable”dropped August 15, 2025, and is available on all major streaming platforms with limited edition autographed Vinyl, CD & Cassette bundles exclusively through Rat Pak Records.

Vintersorg is the enduring vision of Swedish vocalist, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter Andreas Hedlund, who has been blending harsh black metal, Nordic folk, and progressive soundscapes since 1994. What began in the frost-covered north of Skellefteå under the name Vargatron has grown into one of Scandinavia’s most unique and consistently evolving metal projects.
Early albums like Till Fjälls and Ödemarkens Son made a name for Vintersorg with their raw yet melodic take on pagan black metal steeped in nature, folklore, and sweeping clean vocals. Later records like Cosmic Genesis and The Focusing Blur took a sharp turn toward the philosophical and the cosmic, diving into metaphysics, astronomy, and avant-garde experimentation.
Known for a signature mix of soaring baritone vocals, icy black metal shrieks, layered harmonies, and a refusal to play it safe, Vintersorg continue to carve their own path, untamed, cerebral, and deeply connected to the forces that shape both nature and sound.
Sanctum Pyre is a new musical project formed by three people from different corners of the world, united by a shared need to express themselves through music.
The band was born from personal struggles, losses, and questions that never found easy answers. These lyrics aren’t written to impress, but to speak — to the sleepless nights, to the silent burdens, and to the deep desire for redemption.
Their sound is epic, yet infused with oriental colors, heavy riffs, and sweeping symphonic passages. Melodies that build — and break — entire inner worlds.
On vocals is Rob Lundgren, known for his solo work and international collaborations within the metal scene.
Composition and production were crafted by Nikos Tzouannis, while Mike G. handled mixing and the sonic foundation of the project.
Their debut single, “Break Thy Chains”, is a song about the feeling of being trapped — not by someone else, but by yourself.
Sanctum Pyre means “sacred fire.” And each song is exactly that — a kind of offering.
Members: Rob Lundgren – Vocals Nikos Tzouannis – Keyboards, Composition, Lyrics, Orchestration, Production, Mike G. – Guitars, Bass, Drum Programming, Mixing
“Farewell“: KILL CITY’s touching new single. Longing emotions, thrilling excitement. Another first-class track that adds a striking distinctive, sensitive touch to the upcoming 4th studio album.
The band says about “Farewell“: “It’s a track that gradually took shape. Juan Miguel came up with the idea for the intro, and we wanted a heavy riff right after that. Once we found the right riff, the song flowed naturally from there. We like that it has a groove a bit different from other KILL CITY songs, and the lyrics convey that process of saying goodbye to the past in order to make way for a better tomorrow. It’s a song we really enjoy playing live, and we hope our fans enjoy it as much as we do.”

Rock legends Mötley Crüe today announced a special 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Deluxe Box Set for Theatre Of Pain, out November 14th via BMG.
Released in June of 1985, Theatre of Painmarked a bold new chapter for Mötley Crüe – stylistically daring, musically explosive, and unapologetically street glam.
Fueled by the swagger of “Smokin’ In The Boys Room” and the anthemic pull of “Home Sweet Home”, the Crüe’s third studio album broke new ground while staying true to their hard rock roots. This trailblazing album set the music and style template for many bands that followed, while the Crüe themselves continued to evolve and reinvent their look and sound with each album.
Theatre Of Pain was their first LP to hit the US Top 10, landing at #6, and became a global smash (#7 Australia, #7 Sweden, #5 Finland, #11 Canada, first UK Top 40 at #36). The album is now RIAA Certified 4X Platinum in the US and 3X Platinum in Canada.
The lead single, their cover of “Smokin’ In The Boys Room,” became their first US Top 20 hit, reaching #16. The iconic “Home Sweet Home” video was the most requested on MTV for over 90 days, leading to the infamous “Crüe Rule,” limiting videos to 30 days. The song recently hit #1 again — this time at US Classic Rock Radio — thanks to their new version featuring global superstar Dolly Parton.
The 40th Anniversary Deluxe Box Set is a must-have for fans and collectors, featuring reimagined artwork, the newly remastered album on color vinyl, a never-before-released 1985 Long Beach live concert (2LP), rare demo recordings (1LP), and a 76-page hardcover book packed with never-before-seen photos and memories from the Theatre Of Pain era. This definitive set captures the raw energy and spirit of a band at their peak — and is available only for a limited time.
Theatre Of Pain – 40th Anniversary Limited Edition Box Set Includes:
1LP Remastered Theatre Of Pain original album on color vinyl
2LP Never Before Released Live Album originally recorded for Westwood One radio broadcast on color vinyl
1LP Rare Demos Album on color vinyl
76 Page Hard Cover Book featuring many never before published photos from Theatre Of Pain Tour
In addition to the limited edition deluxe box set, Theatre Of Pain 40th Anniversary will be available in standard audio, Dolby Atmos audio, as well as a variety of physical configurations including standard CD and LP sets alongside CD & LP exclusive variants at Walmart, an LP exclusive for Independent Retail, an LP exclusive for Amazon and an LP exclusive for Urban Outfitters. A limited edition Theatre of Pain 40th Anniversary cassette will also be available exclusively at the Crüeseum.
Fans can step inside the Crüeseum to experience the new Theatre of Pain Collection, showcasing unseen candid moments, tour-worn clothing, backstage itineraries, powerful live photography, and more from Mötley’s 1985 classic.
