Swedish metalcore heavyweights ADEPT continue their triumphant return unleashing the heartfelt and groovy hook-laden new anthem “YOU” alongside an official music video. Following the release of their crushing comeback single “Heaven”, which marked their first new music in nearly nine years, “YOU” dives deep into the emotional wreckage of love lost, with swelling, cathartic guitar leads and honest, bleeding heart lyricism. 

The band first re-emerged in 2024 with a breathtaking live appearance at Core Fest in Stuttgart, Germany, igniting the stage, and thrilling fans with a powerful display of fury and fire. Now with two new singles under their comeback belt, ADEPT has their foot on the gas, and show no signs of slowing.

This new visual arrives on the heels of ADEPT’s recent announcement of their “20 Year Anniversary Tour”, marking two decades of explosive live shows and heavy-hitting anthems. The tour features an extensive run across major cities in Europe and the UK, kicking off in Berlin, Germany on November 27. Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours before they’re gone!

Watch the official music video for “YOU” below, and don’t miss this chance to experience ADEPT live.

Vocalist Robert Ljung about “YOU”:
“‘YOU’ is a classic breakup song built around the lingering ‘what if’ – a reflection on love, loss, and how time eventually swallows everything. It’s probably our most accessible track so far, combining a catchy topline with heavy riffs in a way that still feels true to our sound. We had a lot of fun experimenting with new elements on this one, and we’re incredibly proud of how it turned out.”

Originally formed in the early 2000s in Trosa, Sweden, ADEPT played a pivotal role in shaping the early European metalcore landscape. Known for their explosive live energy, the band quickly rose through the ranks, earning international acclaim and touring alongside genre giants like A Day To Remember, Underoath, and Bring Me The Horizon. Now entering a bold new chapter, the band stands ready to once again leave their mark on the global metalcore scene.

“YOU” is streaming on All Platforms, Check it out HERE

With their fierce blend of aggression and melody, ADEPT return with an infectiously emotional sound. The band quickly gained recognition and headlined multiple international tours across Europe, Asia and also performed at festivals like Metaltown and Sonisphere, where they opened for Metallica.
 
With several massive festival appearances across Europe, new music on the horizon, and the celebration of their 20th anniversary, 2025 marks the beginning of an electrifying new chapter for ADEPT. This is only just the beginning!

CRUNGUS Sign with Wormholedeath for Release of Forthcoming Album “Hollow”

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: CRUNGUS. Leave a comment

Wormholedeath proudly welcomes Texas-based brutal death metal powerhouse CRUNGUS to its roster for the release of their forthcoming album Hollow.

Emerging from the desolate plains of the Texas Panhandle, CRUNGUS brings a feral and invigorating presence to the extreme metal world. What began in 2021 as a humble two-man acoustic experiment quickly mutated into a monstrous five-piece force, armed with devastating riffs, thunderous drums, and an unrelenting DIY ethos.

Their sound fuses the raw intensity of brutal death metal with elements of blackened and doom-infused heaviness, delivering an overwhelming sonic assault that is as cathartic as it is merciless. With a reputation for face-melting live shows and razor-sharp songwriting, CRUNGUS continues to gain momentum in the underground metal scene.

Lyrically, Hollow delves deep into themes of inner torment, societal decay, and existential dread—channeling chaos into catharsis. It’s more than just an album; it’s a statement.

1. Dead Tree
2. Hollow
3. The Fear
4. Collapsing
5. Undying Ritual
6. Shapeshifter
7. Abomination
8. Lost
9. Parasites
10. Massacre

AKHLYS Present New Video ‘Through the Abyssal Door’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 11, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: AKHLYS. Leave a comment

Last July, oneiric Black Metal entity AKHLYS unveiled their formidable fourth opus, “House of the Black Geminus” – a stunning successor to the lauded “Melinoë“. Now, in collaboration with visual artist Chthonia (YouTube, Instagram, Bandcamp), the band conjures a haunting visual accompaniment to deepen the song’s dark and otherworldly aura.

Initially conceived to enhance AKHLYS’ live rituals, these abyssal visuals possess a standalone power – intensifying the atmosphere and amplifying the song’s lyrical resonance.

Composer Naas Alcameth (NIGHTBRINGER, AORATOS) reflects:

“The lyrics for ‘Through the Abyssal Door‘ were written by my friend, Richard Gavin, an author of occult literature and horror fiction (“The Benighted Path“, “The Infernal Masque“). We had discussed the concepts behind the album and the role of each track within the album’s hierarchical structure. Overall, the track emphasises the idea of “katabasis” within the framework of an initiatic dream, symbolized as a descent towards the “cellar” of the House.“

Richard Gavin adds:

“It is basically a two-part poem: one from the perspective of the house’s occupant, the next from the perspective of the Other itself.“

Delve into “House of the Black Geminus” in full below, or stream it across all major platforms!

Following their lauded appearance at the UK’s prestigious Fortress Festival (see photos here), AKHLYS will next perform in Istanbul, Turkey on October 25th. Further live manifestations will be revealed soon.

AKHLYS was formed 2009 by Naas Alcameth (NIGHTBRINGER, AORATOS, BESTIA ARCANA) as a musical expression for the inexplicable visions, journeys and phenomena that occur in liminal lands between slumber and awakening. Initially exploring these concepts via Dark Ambient in debut “Supplication” (2009) and then haunting Black Metal through lauded follow-up “The Dreaming I” (2015), Alcameth has once again reified and rarefied this vision, giving rise to a third and crowning work, “Melinoë“, which was released in December 2020.

Earning widespread acclaim for their live performances, AKHLYS secured a partnership with Parasite Gallows Booking in 2022. Amidst numerous tours and festival appearances in Europe, Israel, Latin America and the United States, the recent years have also witnessed the crafting of new compositions destined for the band’s fourth album. Titled “House of the Black Geminus,” this much-anticipated release is released July 5th, 2024.

The melodic death metal outfit Re-Armed from Finland’s capital region returns with a brand new single Fragments of Time, now streaming on all major platforms!

BLACK SABBATH Announce Livestream for Their Farewell Show on July 5th

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Black Sabbath. Leave a comment

Missed out on tickets to Black Sabbath’s farewell concert? Good news: the pioneers of heavy metal have officially announced that “Back To The Beginning” will also be livestreamed.

The stream will be available on the official website www.backtothebeginning.com. A streaming ticket will cost €26.99 (plus tax and service fees). The livestream kicks off on July 5 at 4 PM CET. Can’t make it live? No problem – you’ll have access to watch the full show on-demand until July 7 at 4 PM CET.

Sharon Osbourne commented:
“We had such an overwhelming response from fans all over the world who couldn’t get tickets to the show. And they begged us on social media to livestream it. Since this is such a historic event, we simply couldn’t let them down.”

Dream Line-Up – and Some Honest Words

In an interview with Music Business Worldwide, Sharon also revealed that two bands they had really hoped to include couldn’t make it:

“There are two bands we would’ve loved to bring in, but they couldn’t do it because they’re working that day. One was Judas Priest, a local band, and the other was Angus Young from AC/DC, because he’s always been a huge supporter of Ozzy.”

Emerging from Brisbane’s seething metal underground, AVERSIONS CROWN returns from the void with A Voice From The Outer Dark. The EP which will be released on August 5th via Nuclear Blast Records is a three-track statement of renewed intent, brutal evolution, and total annihilation. Marking the band’s first new material in several years, the EP represents a bold new chapter in both sound and vision.

Today, the band release a music video for the thunderous first track and title of the album, ‘A Voice From The Outer Dark’.Watch the Matrix-esque music video directed by Colin Jeffs, here:

AVERSIONS CROWN comments, “This song marks the beginning of a new chapter for us. We’ve been quiet for a few years now, but that silence was the calm before something much heavier. A Voice From The Outer Dark is the first signal that we’re back, and this time we’re not coming in peace.”

Pre-order or pre-save A Voice From The Outer Dark EP, here:https://aversionscrown.bfan.link/avftodep

Below is the A Voice from the Outer Dark EP track list:
1. A Voice from the Outer Dark
2. Deathbed Lamentations
3. Castigation Choir

A Voice From The Outer Dark captures AVERSIONS CROWN in a new phase of creative intensity. The EP distills everything the band is — and everything it’s becoming — into three tracks of sheer ferocity. Conceptually, the band continues to explore existential and cosmic horror themes, blurring the lines between science fiction and spiritual annihilation, channeling the sound of a world tearing itself apart from the inside out. The arrival of new vocalist Alex Teyen (formerly of BLACK TONGUE) signals a seismic shift.

A Voice From The Outer Dark was recorded in October 2024. It was produced by Lance Prenc and Edward Sklavos. Prenc was also responsible for the mixing and mastering while Sklavos handled the engineering. The cover artwork for the EP was created by Róbert A Borbás (aka Grindesign)

A Voice From The Outer Dark is the sound of a band reborn through fire, silence, and darkness — ready to reestablish their legacy and redefine deathcore in the process.
