True to the motto #onebetter, ANGUS McSIX won’t settle for 666 — no, it has to be “6666”. The new song includes everything that made the album ANGUS McSIX and the Sword of Power the most successful power metal debut of 2023, skyrocketing to number 10 on the Official German Album Charts, as well as a few surprises…

At their start, Prince Angus McSix (Thomas Winkler / ex-Gloryhammer) is overwhelmed by the dark Seebulon (Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann / Orden Ogan) and a horde of orcs. He is frozen and taken to an unknown location somewhere in space and time. Telepathically, he manages to call his brother Adam for help before his voice fades into eternity. Adam hears him and sets off immediately. Although he doesn’t know where Angus is, he knows he can locate him with the power of the six Sixtus Stellar Superlords.

And so, Thomas Winkler, who is now stepping back to spend more time with his family, passes the sword to exceptional vocalist Sam Nyman (Manimal).

“It was a tough decision to go down this path, and even harder to find a suitable singer”, explains Winkler. “But Seeb and I created such an amazing project with ANGUS McSIX that we didn’t want to let it die. I’m glad we found Sam and am absolutely thrilled with his vocal performance”.

“You can’t replace a Thomas Winkler, which is why we didn’t search for the next ‘Angus.’ Sam brings his own style, so he needed his own character: Prince Adam McSix,” explains Seeb.

With its new lineup, ANGUS McSIX have created an absolute hit track that is now already released as the first single from the upcoming, yet untitled album.

Guitar amazon Thalestris (Thalia Bellazecca, ex-Frozen Crown, Primal Fear) continues with the new lineup, with “Ork Zero” (Gerit Lamm, ex-Xandria) now on drums. What happened to Skaw!? It’s possible that we’ll find out in the next music video…
 
“6666” was once again written, produced, mixed, and mastered by top-charting producer Sebastian “Seeb” Levermann at his Greenman Studios. Levermann also took on the role of director for the new music video.
 
The new album is planned for early 2026, but first, you can catch the band on two major tours! In January/February, ANGUS McSIX are main support on the Orden Ogan “Tour of Fear” with opening act All For Metal. A big European tour with Wind Rose and Orden Ogan will follow in October.

Welcome, people and friends, to the Kingdom of the Forest. TROLD are finally back, with the sequel to their debut album, titled “I Skovens Rige”. Since “Der Var Engang…” the Danish trolls have been brewing their next adventure in the caves, which is now about to begin. This time they have trudged even further into the deep forest and have written a collection of stories that all centers around the theme of the forest. 

All songs in “I Skovens Rige” center in one way or another on the forest, and the listener is taken on adventures of many kinds. The atmosphere is intense and it goes from a furious hunt to a mournful farewell and on to folk celebration and singing together. The focus is on melodies and energy, while the folk aspect continues to compliment Trold’s melodic folk metal. True to tradition, it is full of surprises in the form of guest performances from Esse (ex-HateSphere) on death vocals, Lars Thiesgaard (a famous Danish actor) on characteristic speak and Laura Emilie Beck (ex-Huldre, Ællevild) on violin, among others. 

On “I Skovens Rige”, Trold shows their strongest side and cements a solid place on the Danish and international metal scene. 

Join Trold in the second chapter of their exciting adventure… 

“I Skovens Rige” will be released on gatefold LP (green vinyl limited to 500), digipack CD (including 28-page booklet) and digital on March 14th, 2025 via Emanzipation Productions. Pre-orders are available via this link.

Polish Legendary VADER Issue 2024 Recap + Reveal Plans for 2025: New EP, Reissue of “Black To The Blind” + Recording New Full-Length Album in Autumn

Polish Death Metal Legends VADER have posted on their Facebook Page wrapping up 2024 and revealing some predictions for 2025, which has just begun. In fact, the new year will also be full of news for the death metal band, which will release the EP “Humanihility” in spring, while in autumn 2025 they will begin recording for the new full-length album. Also planned for this year, are the reissue of the classic “Black To The Blind”, and the summer tour to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the album “Litany”, which for the occasion will be performed live in its entirety.

Vader stated:
“The year 2024 is coming to an end. How was it for the band? As usual, it was very busy. We continued the 40th anniversary of Vader on tours in the USA/Canada and Europe. We played a few festivals in the summer – including Jarocin after 30 years of absence! At the end of August we returned to Grindstone Studio to record brand new material for an EP. We ended the year with the “Freezing Hell” tour, which went around the Baltic Sea. 2024 is also another year played with Michal Andrzejczyk behind the drums. A few months ago, Michał also joined the happy endorsers of TAMA drums.

And what about plans for 2025? The new year will be even more intense. First of all, this spring will see the release of the completely new EP “Humanihility” since the release of “Solitude In Madness” in 2020, as well as the long-awaited reissue of the classic album “Black To The Blind” from 1997 in a new cover with the original cover by Jacek Wiśniewski. Both titles will be released by Nuclear Blast. The recording session for the next full length Vader album will also start in the fall of 2025! Next year will also be Vader’s return to the stages of summer festivals. And we will appear at 20 of them. 2025 will also be the 25th anniversary of the release of the album “Litany”. Therefore, in the summer season, you will be able to hear the entire album as part of a concert set. Most of the songs from this classic album for the band have not been played since its premiere in 2000, and some have never been played. So 2025 will be absolutely explosive and truly vaderish \m/ And we already INVITE you ALL !!! Expect our arrival under the banner of Massive Music \m/”

On upcoming EP, Vader issue the studio update:
“Yesterday in “Spiderclass” studio in Wroclaw we were working on leads to the upcoming NEW Vader EP “Humanihility” for Nuclear Blast. Mauser works on His part in home studio in UK too. This was a last step before final mix&master of the recording. Scott Atkins should finish the production in Grindstone Studio by middle of January. More details coming soon….”

THE WAVE AND THE PARTICLE Present ‘Legacy’ Music Video

THE WAVE AND THE PARTICLE proudly present the official music video for ‘Legacy,’ a compelling track from their highly anticipated album, Electric Sheep, which will be released on January 31, 2025, via Wormholedeath.

“‘Legacy’ reflects on isolation, ambition, and the fragility of what we leave behind, enriched by a nod to Shelley’s timeless poetry. Musically, the song evolves from grunge-inspired alt-rock into a slow, crushing heavy metal finale, blending deep guitar riffs with soaring synths. A raw exploration of transformation and finality.”

About The Wave and the Particle

Hailing from Fremont, CA, The Wave and the Particle masterfully fuse post-industrial rock, symphonic metal, and progressive rock into a sound that defies convention. Founded in 2015 by Vasiliy and Katie, the band grew with the addition of guitarist Chandra in 2016, leading to the release of their debut album Event Horizon (2019).

The lineup solidified in 2021 with the addition of drummer Abhiram and bassist Alessandro, ushering in a new era of creative experimentation. Their forthcoming album, Electric Sheep, explores cyberpunk-inspired themes such as transhumanism, globalization, and digital identity, marking their continued evolution as boundary-pushing artists.

Finnish Deathgrind band Cannibal Accident is set to release their fifth studio album ‘Disgust’ on February 28th 2025 via Inverse Records. Today the band unleashes the new music video for ‘Darken The Attic’.

Vocalist Kurwa Doktor comments the lyrics:

” “Darken The Attic” tells about the horrors of delirium tremens after sacrificing your mind, body and soul to excessive amounts of alcohol for so many years you have already lost the count.” 

Jondom (Bass) comments music and video:
“Musically “Darken The Attic” is quite far from our comfort zone with dissonant riffs which are like made to create feelings of pure anxiety for the listener. Song is one of “weirdos” of coming “Disgust”-album and goal was to highlight how guitar and bass has own place and space in our music even these two instruments aren’t necessarily always playing same kind of riff, part or even notes in a song. This “chaotic harmony” can be heard particularly in this song. Idea for the video came also partly because of the nature of the song. Quick clips of grotesque and graphic content forced to listeners eye receptors are just like made to underline the musical feeling and lyrical theme of the song.”

Track list:

  1. Explicit Everything
  2. Toleraped
  3. Darkest Auer
  4. When Only Fans Blow On Empty Stage 5. Flesh Fabricant
