Following the release of their much-acclaimed fifth studio album “Jailbreak”, full-speed thrash frontrunners NERVOSA return with a brutal new single, entitled “Smashing Heads”!

This new rager features the insane guitar work, thundering vocals and furious blast beats the band is known and loved for, and is accompanied by an official music video that emphasizes the unstoppable energy of this all-woman powerhouse.

“Smashing Heads” marks the band’s first new music since they released the “Jailbreak” album in September 2023 via Napalm Records (order here), which also marked a new chapter in the history of NERVOSA as their first record featuring founding member Prika Amaral as permanent vocalist and guitarist. With the addition of the immensely talented Helena Kotina as lead guitarist, Gabriela Abud on drums, Hel Pyre and Emmelie Herwegh on bass, NERVOSA continue to set the thrash metal world ablaze, and their new single “Smashing Heads” makes no exception!

“This new single celebrates 15 years of Nervosa, a resume of our musical journey throughout these years, ” the band comments. “‘Smashing Heads’ is a special release to commemorate this milestone and close one chapter before we unleash something entirely new with our next album.”

““Smashing Heads” talks about the obsession from the feelings that can drive you crazy. The sensation of being out of control because you can’t leave behind what you feel. Each of us has a different way to freak out and that is what you can see in our video clip,” says the band about the new song.

“We worked very hard to bring our vision and ideas about that. Gabriela is an actress and she helped a lot with the acting and with the conception of the video. We recorded on the basement of our studio and we are very happy with the results, but we can’t wait to bring a new album and more new songs.”

ENTRAILS Release Second New Track ‘Untreatable Decay’

Swedish death metal veterans Entrails are back with a new studio effort titled Grip of Ancient Evil, to be released on 18th July via Hammerheart Records. The album’s second single, ‘Untreatable Decay’, is now available to stream on the label’s YouTube channel.

Entrails comment on the new offering: “We serve you our next single ‘Untreatable Decay’ which is a more traditional 90’s styled swedeath track. Filled with “filing” guitars and “ompa ompa” rythmics along with groovy parts. Catchy & heavy and should satisfy the die hard fans of old school swedeath. Crank it up and Enjoy🤘“

Pre-order Grip of Ancient Evil here: https://entrails.lnk.to/gripofancientevil

Following the acclaimed release of An Eternal Time of Decay, Entrails dug deeper into the grave to conjure up their darkest and most savage material to date with their eighth full-length album, Grip of Ancient Evil.

In addition to honouring all its promises of brutality, the LP also features a number of surprises, including guest vocals by Per “Hellbutcher” Gustavsson (Friends of Hell, Nifelheim) on the song ‘Inner Demon’ and some intriguing acoustic passages.

Fronted by relentless leader Jimmy Lundqvist since the band’s rebirth 15 years ago, Entrails have gone on to bless the European death metal scene with hailed performances at cult festivals such as Netherlands Deathfest, Obscene Extreme Festival, Kill-Town Death Fest, and Hellfest.

In the finest tradition of Swedish old-school death metal, Entrails deliver another uncompromising homage to extreme music with this new ritualistic offering. If an unhealthy mix of HM-2 buzzsaw guitars, bludgeoning rhythms, and horror-drenched lyrics sounds like a delicacy, Grip of Ancient Evil should be right up your alley.

Tracklist:
1. Grip of Ancient Evil
2. Untreatable Decay
3. Skin ‘em All
4. Conquering the Unknown
5. Hunt in the Shadows
6. Fed to the Dead
7. Wings of Death
8. Graveyard Rising
9. Inner Demon
10. Insane Death
11. Consumed by Insects

Line-up:
Jimmy Lundqvist – Guitar
Markus Svensson – Guitar
Julian Bellenox – Vocals
Benjamin Andersson – Bass
Arvid Borg – Drums

ROCKIN’1000 Launches ‘Flash Coro’ – New Format of Music And Sharing

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 20, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: , . Leave a comment

Rockin’1000, the Biggest Rock Band on Earth born in Cesena, which today performs in international stadiums with 1000 musicians on stage, launches a new format: FLASH CORO that will bring music and passion of Rockin’1000 to three special dates in Italy: June 22nd and July 23rd in Cesena’s square and October 9th at the theater in Florence.

ROCKIN’1000 FLASH CORO is the new format launched for the 10th anniversary: a collective singing event where anyone can participate, regardless of their musical ability. The idea is simple: a group of people gather and, under the guidance of a choir director, learn to sing a song as a multi-voiced choir. Unlike a traditional choir, no preparation or experience is required. There are no rehearsals or sheet music to study: everything happens on the spot, in a spontaneous and fun way. The atmosphere is informal and playful, with the main goal of getting everyone to sing without worrying too much about perfection. During the event, participants are divided into vocal groups and guided in learning the melody and harmonies, until they can perform the entire song together.

“The Rockin’1000 Flash Coro represents a new opportunity to experience music in a participatory and aggregating way, and it’s the way we’ve chosen to definitively break down the barriers between the public and performers. In an era dominated by screens and virtual connections, we think that live events that involve the senses, social interaction, and authenticity are increasingly necessary. We grasped this need 10 years ago and this is how the show of the 1000 was born, now we’re gathering the same spirit and declinating it in new formats, where music continues to be one of the most powerful social aggregators.” – said Fabio Zaffagnini, Founder of Rockin’1000.

ROCKIN’1000 FLASH CORO will debut on Sunday, June 22nd with a special Pink Edition, designed for Notte Rosa, in Cesena‘s Piazza Guidazzi starting from 9:00 PM. Then, on Wednesday, July 23rd, the new format will be featured again in Piazza Guidazzi in Cesena during the Rockin’1000 Week, the week preceding the double show on the occasion of the project’s 10th anniversary (July 26th and 27th at the Orogel Stadium Dino Manuzzi in Cesena). Finally, on Thursday, October 9th, the new format will land in the theater, in Florence at the Teatro Cartiere Carrara (via Fabrizio De Andrè ang. Lungarno Aldo, Florence. Pre-sales: (link unavailable) Ticket price: single seat € 30.00 + pre-sale).

The Flash Coro is a dynamic and interactive format that will allow participants to experience a unique and engaging musical experience. With Rockin’1000, music becomes a shared and exciting experience that unites people and creates unforgettable memories.

Calendar:

ROCKIN’1000 FLASH CORO PINK EDITION (for Notte Rosa)
Sunday, June 22nd from 9:00 PM
Piazza Guidazzi in Cesena – free admission

ROCKIN’1000 FLASH CORO during ROCKIN’1000 WEEK

ROCKIN’1000 – The Biggest Rock Band on Earth – is the product of a crazy love for an idea and a viral video featuring 1000 musicians playing in unison. The initial goal was to convince the Foo Fighters to perform in Cesena, Italy. It worked, and the band accepted the invitation. Since then, ROCKIN’1000 has grown both as a band and a community, becoming a fearless global tribe of 100,000 music enthusiasts from all over the world. Today, ROCKIN’1000 brings rock music to stadiums across the planet, creating a unique experience that bridges the gap between musicians and spectators, celebrating music as a universal language and writing a new chapter in rock history. www.rockin1000.com – IG / FB / X / YT / LK: @rockin1000

KÜNTSQUÄD Announce New Album “Satan’s Cock” + Unleash First Single ‘Psychotropic Lyfe’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 20, 2025

Melbourne’s crusty death metal iconoclast KÜNTSQUÄD returns with their most ferocious statement yet: the unapologetically titled Satans Cock, set for worldwide release via Wormholedeath Records.

Once again recorded at Goatsound Studios with Jason Fuller and Jamie Colic, the album is provocatively titled Satan’s Cock and features satanic artwork by Rok.

Building on their debut, the new record pushes the boundaries of heaviness and songwriting, with deeper down-tuned tones and complex rhythmic interplay. True to their ethos of constant evolution, the band continues to explore new extremes with each release.

1. Piss And Purge
2. Satans Cock
3. Genital Dismemberment Bot Cult
4. Fuck Me Jebus
5. Psychotropic Life
6. Dot
7. Ominous
8. Zombie Cum
9. Eat Your Entrails
10. Your Mom Sucks Crack In Hell

To mark the announcement, KÜNTSQUÄD drop the first single, the grotesquely addictive “Psychotropic Lyfe”—a furious introduction to the new record’s relentless pace and satirical bite.

Stream the single: https://orcd.co/plsingle

Küntsquäd (pron. Kountskard) is a crusty death metal band from Melbourne blending guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and blackened chaos. Their 2022 self-titled debut on Wormholedeath Records earned global acclaim and sold-out pressings. Raw, extreme, and satirically twisted—this is metal with no genre boundaries.
