UK metal powerhouse Sylosis will be unleashing their most ambitious outing yet; a 31-date headline tour, hitting major venues and cities across the UK and Europe in early 2026.
Fueled by their growing catalogue of crushing riffs and relentless live energy, Sylosis are set to dominate stages from Helsinki to Barcelona. The run will feature their two biggest UK headline shows to-date, at the 02 Kentish Town Forum, London (20/02) and 02 Ritz, Manchester (21/02).
Sylosis stated: “This is it. 5 years of building towards a UK/EU headline tour with a bill that we are truly proud of. We’ve been touring hard for the last few years and never been stronger as a unit. This is our time to step it up and show everyone what a Sylosis show is all about. Revocation are true legends of the genre and it’s an honour to have them as a part of this. Distant are one of the hardest working heavy bands out there and rounding off the bill is one of our favourite bands to emerge out of the US in recent years, Life Cycles. We love heavy music and have put together a true showcase of modern metal. If you consider yourself a fan of all things heavy, this is a tour that you simply cannot miss. We’ll see you next year.”

Featuring Josh Middleton (lead guitar & vocals), Ali Richardson (drums), Conor Marshall (guitar), and Ben Thomas (bass), Sylosis have earned their place as a vital, uncompromising voice in modern heavy music. With countless tours, festival appearances and consistently fierce new material under their belts, the future is theirs.
Finnish rockers Rust N’ Rage are pleased to share the new single and lyric video “Songs Of Yesterday”, title track of their upcoming new album set for release on August 22nd, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
The band said: “Songs Of Yesterday” shows a bit more melodic side of us and our upcoming album, paired with an anthemic chorus that gets you singing along in seconds! It’s an emotional dive into a story so many of us are familiar with”.
About the new album, they added: “Songs Of Yesterday” is an ultimate collection of nasty riffs and tasty hooks; all forged in the fires of adrenaline filled rock n’ roll! These tracks are sure to get your head banging, so give it a spin and play it loud!”
Through lots of hard work and gigging, Rust N’ Rage have been starting to make a name for themselves in their home country of Finland. With energetic live shows and anthemic songwriting, this rock n’ roll quartet is ready to introduce themselves to the world more than ever before.
Coming from a small Finnish town called Pori, Rust N’ Rage are four musicians – Vince, Johnny, Jezzie, and Eddy – who share a common passion for rock n’ roll. Initially playing individually around their town, it didn’t take long for them to unite under a shared musical vision.
Drawing inspiration from ’80s legends such as Guns n’ Roses, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, and Dokken, the band has crafted a sound rooted in classic hard rock but with a fresh and personal twist.
The band’s debut album, produced by Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire), was filled with hard-hitting, melodic tunes. In 2020, things accelerated for the band as they found a new manager and teamed up with a new producer to bring their vision to life.
Now, their latest release, “Songs Of Yesterday”, produced by Olli Anttila, is the band’s defining statement – a high-energy dose of rock packed with powerful anthems, memorable choruses, infectious guitar solos, and explosive rhythms. It’s a celebration of their influences, but also a testament to their identity and evolution as a modern hard rock force.
“Songs Of Yesterday” Tracklist:
1. One For All (All For One) 2. Songs Of Yesterday 3. Just Like Brothers 4. Hey Jane 5. Gone But Never Forgotten 6. Rollin’ Till The Morning 7. Open Fire 8. I Am The One 9. Gave It All I Got 10. Fire It Up
Line Up: Vince (Vinsentti Koivula) Johnny (Joni Kuuri) Jezzie (Joel Korpela) Eddy (Eero Mäkinen)
Rock legend and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Glenn Hughes is pleased to unveil his new single and accompanying lyric video, “Voice In My Head”, taken from his upcoming studio album “Chosen”, set for release on September 5th, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.
This year will also see Glenn Hughes busy touring across Europe and South America, with “The Chosen Years” tour starting in Zoetermeer, Netherlands, on September 2nd, and ending on November 29th in Bogota, Colombia. For the full list of dates, please see below and HERE.
About the new single, Glenn commented: “Voice In My Head” tells the story of what’s goin’ on in my subconscious mind. It’s a song that most definitely needed to be written. Very therapeutic. We all have “this voice”. Observe, recognize and be a witness, & let go…”
Commenting on the new album, Glenn stated: “Songwriting is deeply personal to me, and l generally write and record when I have something to say. It’s been nine years since I recorded my last solo album, “Resonate”. There have been recordings and collaborations with other artists, since 2016”.
“When writing “Chosen”, I went back to my life drawing board, writing about the human condition, love, hope, faith and acceptance. I write about how I feel on the inside and not externally. My life is lived from within, in the present moment. It’s an album of soul food, and I’ve never been so grateful, right here, on planet earth. Music is the healer!”, he added.
Vocalist/bass guitarist/songwriter Glenn Hughes is a true original. No other rock musician has carved such a distinctive style blending the finest elements of hard rock, soul and funk. That astonishing voice is his calling card. He’s known as a singer’s singer. Stevie Wonder once called Glenn Hughes his favorite white singer.
After a nine years hiatus as a solo artist, Glenn Hughes is back with “Chosen”, his brand-new solo record: an album which presents Glenn in his most hard rockin’ fashion. An explosive record that offers Glenn Hughes at its absolute best with a state-of-the-art album, both from a songwriting and production standpoint. A truly captivating return!
Glenn Hughes, a native of Cannock, England, absorbed all kinds of influences, including early British hard rock, the Beatles and, most importantly, American soul and R&B. The sleek Motown sound from Detroit and the gritty Stax/Volt sound from Memphis left their mark on him.
Glenn Hughes first found success in the early ’70s with the band Trapeze, before joining Deep Purple in 1973 during a pivotal lineup change that introduced him and David Coverdale to the group. Despite initial scepticism, the revamped band silenced critics with the release of “Burn” (1974), a powerful album that revitalized Purple’s sound and remains a classic.
During this era, the band headlined the iconic California Jam in front of over 300,000 fans, toured the world aboard their private jet The Starship, and released two more studio albums, “Stormbringer” and “Come Taste The Band”, before disbanding in 1976.
Glenn’s first solo album “Play Me Out” was released in 1977. He joined former Pat Travers guitarist Pat Thrall to form Hughes/Thrall, which released an acclaimed self-titled album in 1982. Throughout the ’80s and ’90s, Glenn Hughes made countless guest appearances (both credited and un-credited) as a vocalist, bass guitarist or songwriter on other artists’ albums. The endless list includes – among others – Gary Moore, John Norum, Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath.
Since 1992, Glenn has started a prolific solo career with a dozen studio albums where he explored all the different sides of his songwriting and influences: from hard rock to funk and more contemporary sounds. He collaborated – among others – with such musicians as Chad Smith (RHCP), Dave Navarro, John Frusciante and many others.
He also founded or took part in some amazing musical alliances such as California Breed (with Jason Bonham and Andrew Watt), Black Country Communion (with Joe Bonamassa) and The Dead Daisies.
Glenn has collaborated with Robbie Williams on his new single “Rocket”, which was released on May 22nd, 2025. The track also features a collaboration from Tony Iommi and will be the first time Glenn has been featured on a record with Tony since 2005, when they released “Fused” together.
Glenn Hughes has also recently joined forces with Satch Vai, a new collaboration by legendary guitar icons Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, by writing and singing on their new single “I Wanna Play My Guitar”.
“Chosen” Tracklist:
1. Voice In My Head 2. My Alibi 3. Chosen 4. Heal 5. In The Golden 6. The Lost Parade 7. Hot Damn Thing 8. Black Cat Moan 9. Come And Go 10. Into The Fade
After the blistering release of their debut label single, ‘Large Quantities of Unnecessary Supplies’, genre-bending alternative act A Lost Asylum return with their next emotional gut-punch: ‘Shut Up Baby, I Know It’, out now via Golden Robot Records.
Where their last single raged against internal chaos, ‘Shut Up Baby, I Know It’ dives headfirst into the pain of heartbreak. Raw, vulnerable, and heavy with emotion, the song captures the hollow ache of loving someone who walks away – and the wreckage left behind.
Driven by soaring vocals, cathartic guitars, and the band’s signature blend of post-hardcore, pop punk, and easycore, ‘Shut Up Baby, I Know It‘ shows A Lost Asylum’s growing depth and range – balancing melody and intensity with gut-wrenching honesty.
A Lost Asylum made a powerful entrance to the Golden Robot Records roster earlier this year, refusing to be boxed in by genre and instead building their sound on raw emotion, hard truths, and bold songwriting. With their next single, they’re proving that lightning can strike twice – and it hurts like hell in the best way possible.
A Lost Asylum was formed in November of 2016 in Salt Lake City. The band consists of Holly Watson (Lead Vocals), Tyson loveridge (Guitar), and Justin Bell (Drums/Unclean Vocals). Touring the West Coast within a year of forming, they have become an unstoppable force. Able to overcome any obstacle in their path in order to keep creating music.
A Lost Asylum brings hard hitting, dark Gothcore through melodic guitar riffs, rhythmic bass, energetic drums, brutal screams, and beautifully dark lead vocals.
They have played alongside The Dead Rabbitts, Famous Last Words, Spite, I Set My Friends On Fire, and The Funeral Portrait. They released their first EP May 2018 and released their first full length album in February, 2020. After a couple of line up changes, A Lost Asylum has found a solid lineup eager to bring a new style of emo music to the world. Proving time and time again the dedication, flexibility, and resilience to keep creating music for everyone to enjoy.
A Lost Asylum are: Holly Watson – vocals, Justin Bell – vocals, drums, bass, Tyson Loveridge – guitar
A searing new presence in Irish death metal, Abyssery delivers a bleak, concept-driven debut album featuring ex-members of Vader and Decapitated.
A new voice from the shadows of Ireland’s extreme metal underground has emerged. Abyssery, the solo project of guitarist and composer Brian Doherty, today unveils its debut full-length album, ‘Interminable End’, a conceptual descent into torment, control, and cosmic despair.
Written, recorded, and refined in isolation, ‘Interminable End’ is a deeply personal response to an increasingly hostile world, casting its central character, and listener, into a metaphysical hellscape. Here, identity is stripped, suffering is endless, and death offers no release.
Carving a path through death metal’s most harrowing terrain, Doherty is joined by two elite collaborators: acclaimed drummer James Stewart (ex-Vader, Decapitated) brings ferocious intensity and technical precision, while Rafał “Rasta” Piotrowski (ex-Decapitated) lends his unmistakable voice to the track The Crushing Weight of Eternity, a centrepiece of the album’s narrative and sonic assault.
“This is a record born of obsession,” says Doherty. “It’s a purge of everything that’s been building internally for years, a love letter to death metal as both catharsis and storytelling tool. It’s also about the idea of punishment without purpose, and how that reflects where the world is heading.”
Drawing influence from death-doom, dissonant black metal, and the suffocating atmosphere of acts like Ulcerate and Krypts, ‘Interminable End’ is both unflinching and immersive. The record’s visual aesthetic, from the artwork to its cryptic lyrical motifs, enhances the sense of unease, questioning what it means to be human in a world built to erase.
‘Interminable End’ is is set for release on July 25th via all major digital platform and Bandcamp.
Track Listing: Antechamber (Prelude) Vortex of Oneiric Visions Entering the Void Sadistic Sentence Liminal Prison (Interlude) Entropic Enslavement Interminable End Immiseration
Swedish metalcore outfit Awake The Dreamer have dropped a punishing new single and video. ‘Save You’ delivers everything the band does best- crushing melodies, atmospheric heaviness and a raw emotional punch.
Continuing their sonic evolution, ‘Save You’ dives even deeper into themes of inner turmoil and redemption, laced with cinematic textures, razor-sharp riffing, and the soaring vocal power of frontman Max Andrén. Where ‘Years Begin To Fade‘ introduced us to the band’s rebirth, ‘Save You’ punches through the darkness with raw vulnerability, showing Awake The Dreamer at their most fearless and most refined.
Catch the band live: 20.09 – UK, Sheffield – Amplified Festival (Headline) 09.12 – DE, Nuremberg – Club Stereo (w/NBD) 10.12 – DE, München – Backstage Club (W/NBD + HVSTE) 11.12 – DE, Frankfurt – Ponyhof (w/HVSTE) 12.12 – DE, Krefeld – Kulturfabrik (w/NBD headline, ATD + HVSTE support)
