In support of their latest, critically-acclaimed studio album “Glory Or Nothing” (released in March 2025 via ROAR at THIS LOCATION!), French hard ‘n’ heavy rockers OVERDRIVERS are premiering a brand new music video for the aptly self-titled, high-voltage track “Overdrivers”!

The band comments: “Overdrivers – the true story of small-town guys trying to conquer the world with their Rock ‘n’ Roll!”

Watch the new OVERDRIVERS clip, directed and edited by Julien Metternich:

Since 2015, OVERDRIVERS has been tearing through the Northern Lands like a runaway freight train. Born from nowhere and fueled by pure rock rebellion, these four hard-hitting rockers bring the kind of thunder only cranked-up Marshall amps can deliver. With their amps on blast, they claimed every stage in their path, quickly earning a reputation for leaving chaos — and converted fans—behind them.

Once they’d conquered every inch of their homeland, the band set their sights on broader horizons, unleashing their electric storm on Spain and beyond. With relentless shows, OVERDRIVERS brought their raw, headbanging energy to rock lovers everywhere, proving that in the face of their All-Powerful Rock’N’Roll, resistance is futile!

Armed with a series of explosive releases — Rockin’ Hell (2016), She’s On Her Period (2018), and the Rock Out! EP — the band rallied thousands of followers and forged an unbreakable army of die-hard fans, while they have just unleashed their most powerful weapon yet: “Glory Or Nothing”! Their latest masterpiece dropped like a bombshell, reigniting their worldwide crusade and solidifying their place as a force in modern rock. Brace yourself and get ready to rock: OVERDRIVERS are here — louder, fiercer, and more unstoppable than ever!

HESSIAN Sign with Wormholedeath, Self-Titled EP Out June 20th, Teaser Available Now

The unrelenting, blackened death metal project HESSIAN has signed a licensing deal with Wormholedeath for the release of their highly anticipated self-titled EP, due out on 20 June 2025. Known for their raw, primal energy and no-frills approach to blackened death metal, Hessian has already captured the attention of the underground scene, and this collaboration is set to amplify their ferocity on the global stage.

Laremy (Founder, Guitarist) shares his excitement:
“We’re truly honored to join the Wormholedeath family—a label and publisher with deep roots and an incredible legacy. From Carlo’s early days in Necromass to his ongoing work with Warner Chappell Holland and global distribution through Sony Orchard, the reach is immense. To be part of a catalog spanning over 400 releases is a privilege we take seriously—and we’re committed to representing it with pride in all our future releases.”

The Hessian EP is a raw homage to the early days of black metal, stripped to its most primal and savage core. Laremy explains, “There’s no bass—just rhythm guitar, vocals, and drums. It channels a hypnotic, bestial energy that immerses listeners in a dark, repetitive guitar style designed to invoke and celebrate the unspeakable.”

DARKFALL Release Brand New Track ‘The Art Insane’ with Lyric Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 5, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: DARKFALL. Leave a comment

The last CD output of the Austrian thrash/death band DARKFALL was some time ago. Their last release was the split EP “Thrashing Death Squad” with Mortal Strike in 2021. Nevertheless, the guys have not been idle in recent years, but have completed a well-filled live program in the clubs and festivals of Europe. The songwriting has also picked up speed again recently and a new album is being planned, even if we probably won’t see a release this year.

To bridge the waiting time until then, there is now a brand new track, “The Art Insane”, which is now available as a digital single and as a lyric video on YouTube and which is definitely a small foretaste of what the band is hatching in terms of new material. Check it out!

Finland’s I, Cursed, who combine angry and furious death metal and grindcore, will release a new as yet unnamed EP later this year. The EP will be released in cooperation with Finnish record labels Inverse Records & Meara Music which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila. 

The second single ‘Death Pays It All’ is released today and the lyric video is available below.

The band comments: 
” ”Death Pays It All”, the second single from the new I, Cursed EP to be released later this autumn. “Death Pays It All” continues what the first single from the upcoming EP, “Disfigurement”, offered in the form of furious death metal and grindcore. “Death Pays It All” is a dynamic and, to some extent, distorted melodic depiction of how the seductive call of death drives the mind down into the depths and darkness. “Death Pays It All” is complemented by a darkly soothing lyric video produced by Soft Neon Audiovisual.” 

Listen to the ‘Death Pays It All’ single on streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/i-cursed-death 

  • ISRC: FI-HZL-25-00014
  • Music & lyrics composed & written by Ville-Veikko Laaksonen
  • Produced & arranged by I, Cursed
  • Engineered by Ville-Veikko Laaksonen, Nico Brander & Jesse Simola
  • Recorded at Firefield Avenue & Soft Neon Audiovisual Studio Mixed & mastered by Jerkka Perälä
  • Single cover by Jerkka Perälä

Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed, from the Pori / Ulvila area, is a brutal dredging of Ville-Veikko Laaksonen and Eero Haula, known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others, which is fed to the Finnish metal scene in an atonal coldness. I, Cursed’s music is a mix of something old and familiar, the HM-2 sound of Swedish grind, and somewhat more modern and crushing production. The line-up of the band in July 2024 is completed by guitarist Nico Brander from Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen from Atlases and Marto. FFO Coldworker, Gadget, Nasum & Rotten Sound.
