THE WARNING & CARÍN LEÓN Release New Single + Video ‘Love To Be Loved’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 9, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: CARÍN LEÓN, THE WARNING. Leave a comment

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, the rock sister-trio from Monterrey, Mexico, The Warning team up with award-winning regional Mexican superstar Carín León on a brand new collaborative single and music video entitled “Love To Be Loved” out now via LAVA/Republic Records. Listen HERE, watch the music video HERE, and purchase a limited-edition 7” vinyl HERE.

The Warning notably co-wrote the track alongside vocal powerhouse and superstar artist Teddy Swims, Rob Grimaldi, Anton DeLost, Boy Matthews, and Neil Ormandy. Meanwhile, the band worked with producers Grimaldi and DeLost to bring the song to life. Breaking the mold, it notably marks Carín’s first-ever collaborative release sung entirely in English.

“We are so excited about this song. As a rock band, this is something completely different for us and a chance to explore new sounds,” The Warning shares. “Originally co-written with Teddy Swims, the song naturally blends country, rock, and pop in a way that felt fresh and inspiring from the start. Blending musical worlds is always exciting, and working with our fellow Mexican artist Carín León made the experience even more special. It’s a collaboration that pushed us creatively and shows a new side of The Warning.”

“Love To Be Loved” tears down genre walls, finding common ground between these two distinct forces. Carín sets the tone for the track, delivering an emotionally charged verse with spirit and soul. His heartbroken delivery rests uneasily between the crunch of distorted power chords and a thick rhythm from The Warning. Boosted by heavy riffing and a Richter Scale-worthy rhythm, vocalist and guitarist Dany Villarreal carries the chantable chorus, “I just need love to be loved, to be loved, to be loved—by you.”

Fresh off his GRAMMY win this week, Carín shares: “I’m truly happy and excited about this collaboration with these amazing artists, The Warning, a band I deeply admire that reaffirms to me that Mexican music and Mexican rock are far from dead—they’re more present and stronger than ever. I’m also really grateful to collaborate alongside artists with such important projects for Mexican music and culture, and to be able to release this great song together. I truly hope people connect with it, appreciate it, and carry it in their hearts for a long time.”

The accompanying cinematic visual finds Carín and the girls holed up in a gritty dive bar. Amid tense card games, slot machines, and rounds of pool and darts, they keep winning…but none of it matters. Beneath the bravado, all they’re really searching for is love. Eventually, they take the stage and deliver a once-in-a-lifetime karaoke duet for the crowd gathered on the dancefloor of this dive.

Yesterday, February 8th, the group presented during the Super Bowl as the NFL Mexico special guests.

Most importantly, everything sets the stage for more to come in 2026 from The Warning.

Continuing a rapid rise worldwide, they concluded last year by appearing on a Grammy Celebration of Latin Music—broadcast on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. The Warning notably hit the stage with none other than Billy Idol and guitarist Steve Stevens for a scorching medley of “La Bamba” and “Twist and Shout.” Consequence hailed it as “one of the heaviest moments of the night.”

Prior, they released their new live album and first-ever concert film, Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX recorded and filmed in-front of a sold-out crowd of 30k fans . Listen HERE. Get physical vinyl and CDs, including exclusive D2C and signed editions HERE. Produced by Federal Films, Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX debuted in select AMC Theatres (NYSE:AMC) locations in the United States and presented under Cinépolis’ +QUE CINE in Mexico, Central America, and South America.

After supporting Halsey on select dates of the For My Last Trick US tour in 2025, they will hit the road performing at Lollapalooza and festivals across Latin American and with Yungblud on the IDOLS World Tour UK & US later this year.

SHIRAZ LANE Unveil New Video ‘Stone Cold Lover’ from Latest Album

Finnish rock band Shiraz Lane unveil today the new single and official music video, “Stone Cold Lover”, taken from their latest studio album, “In Vertigo”, out now via Frontiers Music Srl. 

The band commented: “The official music video for “Stone Cold Lover” blends explosive live energy with behind-the-scenes moments, seasoned with professional studio footage. That balance mirrors the past year for us perfectly – finalizing “In Vertigo” in the studio, then taking those songs out and ripping them live. We also knew this track needed a powerful visual to match its intensity and to truly do justice to the banger it is.”

Order “In Vertigo” HERE

“In Vertigo” marks a bold new chapter in Shiraz Lane’s evolution. It’s an ambitious, modern,
and emotionally charged rock album born from relentless creativity, exploration and
collaboration.

It’s a bold and genre-blending record, produced and co-written once again by longtime collaborator Per Aldeheim (Def Leppard, H.E.A.T, Pain). Packed with razor-sharp hooks, soaring melodies and high-octane attitude, “In Vertigo” pushes the band’s sound into exciting new territory, fusing pop-metal energy with a modern production edge and fearless genre crossovers.

Preceded by the explosive singles “Dangerous”, “Bullsh!t”, and the emotionally charged “Plastic Heart”, the album showcases Shiraz Lane’s evolution while staying true to their raw rock roots. 

With Aldeheim’s polished yet powerful production and standout performances by Hannes Kett (vocals), Jani Laine (lead guitar), Miki Kalske (rhythm guitar), Joel Alex (bass), and Ana Vilkkumaa (drums), “In Vertigo” is the band’s most daring and dynamic release to date.

Brilliantly unpredictable and unapologetically melodic, In Vertigo proves that Shiraz Lane is not just riding the wave of modern melodic rock – they’re reshaping it!

Hailing from Vantaa, Finland, Shiraz Lane started their musical journey in 2011. Their vision of a perfect blend of sonic combustion and elegant delicacy started to blossom and reach its potential when the current line-up was solidified in 2014 and the band released their first EP “Be The Slave Or Be The Change”.

The band gained great international attention from the very beginning, and soon the young Finns
were flying from Japan to South America, playing in Europe’s coolest clubs & summer festivals and had their warm first contact also with the US audience on the Monsters of Rock cruise.

Shiraz Lane resonates through their double-edged guitar sound (provided by Jani Laine and Miki
Kalske), percussive ground-pounding clockwork (Ana Vilkkumaa, drums & Joel Alex, bass) and the supersonic melodies chanted by lead singer Hannes Kett. They are one of the most intriguing and entertaining bands in the current Hard Rock scene, bringing in a fresh breeze in terms of both compositions and live performance. 

In addition to their debut EP, other most notable releases include the albums “For Crying Out Loud”, “Carnival Days”, “Vibration I”, “Forgotten Shades Of Life” and “Acoustic Archives’’.

Although wearing inspiration and paying homage to their predecessors, the sound and style of Shiraz Lane is unique, bold and contemporary. This has manifested in collaborations such as extensive international touring (sharing stages with bands such as KISS, Deep Purple, H.E.A.T &
Crashdïet), national TV appearances, the gaming world and, most importantly, an exponentially growing & dedicated fanbase around the world.

“In Vertigo” Tracklist:

1.    Stone Cold Lover
2.    Dangerous
3.    The Ray Of Light
4.    Live A Little More
5.    Babylon

Pre-order Lost In Hollywood: https://arisingempire.com/lostinhollywood

After a strong run of releases that steadily expanded their reach, Lost In Hollywood have proven their ability to balance raw heaviness with cinematic atmosphere. Singles like ‘The Fire‘, ‘Pretty Skin‘ and ‘Like a River‘ featuring Of Virtue showcased the band’s talent for massive hooks and emotional depth, while ‘The Art of Being Torn Out‘ featuring Half Me underlined their connection to the modern heavy scene and their willingness to collaborate without losing identity.

2. Pretty Skin
3. Pieces

Modern power metal force INDUCTION mark the release of their new studio album LOVE KILLS!, out now via Reigning Phoenix Music.

With LOVE KILLS!, INDUCTION present their most focused and mature record to date, sharpening their signature mix of heavy power metal, strong hooks, and emotionally driven songwriting. The album shows a band operating with confidence, clarity, and a clear artistic direction.

To celebrate their album release in glorious style, INDUCTION unleash a powerful new music video for the epic track “Strangers To Love”, featuring none other than Clémentine Delauney from VISIONS OF ATLANTIS!

“Strangers To Love” stands as one of the album’s most emotional and cinematic moments. Blending soaring melodies and crushing guitars, the song showcases an intense vocal duet between Clémentine and INDUCTION frontman Gabriele Gozzi. It’s a powerful meeting of voices that elevates the song into true modern power metal territory.

“I am honored to feature on INDUCTION’s new album, especially on this song « Strangers to Love » that carries a very nostalgic yet energetic vibe,“ the VISIONS OF ATLANTIS singer says. “I feel like I’m back in the vibrant eighties, singing about a love that is as impossible as it is to travel back in time… I had a lot of fun interpreting this song alongside the great Gabriele Gozzi!”

Stream/Download “Strangers To Love”: https://induction.rpm.link/strangersvoaPR

INDUCTION guitarist Tim Kanoa Hansen comments on the collaboration:
“The second that I had the demo of ‘Strangers To Love’ done, I knew it needed a second voice. With Clémentine from Visions of Atlantis, we found the perfect match to bring the story to life. Clémi and Gabri complement each other beautifully! ‘Strangers To Love’ is probably the closest thing to a ballad that you will find on LOVE KILLS!, and it’s also probably one of my personal favorite hits. I believe everyone will somehow relate to this song, because it captures the essence of human experience at its core, and fits perfectly to the album’s message: Love Kills…but it’s never gonna die.”

But the connection between INDUCTION and VISIONS OF ATLANTIS doesn’t stop at the studio. Both bands have  joined forces with WARKINGS for the “Pirates & Kings Over Europe” Tour, that just kicked off in Switzerland and leading through more than 20 cities across Europe, promising epic nights of melodic metal and unforgettable performances. Find all current and upcoming dates listed below!

Following a storm of milestones, including a series of live dates supporting the legendary SAVATAGE, a frenetically acclaimed debut at Wacken Open Air, and the release of fan-favorite singles “Beyond Horizons” and “Dark Temptation”, INDUCTION are now firing on all cylinders.

Crafted at Chameleon Studios and Boogie Park Studios in Hamburg, the new album was produced by Tim Kanoa Hansen, and was mixed and mastered by Eike Freese in collaboration with the guitarist. LOVE KILLS! marks the beginning of a new era for INDUCTION, defined by musical evolution, emotional depth, and a fearless drive to push the boundaries of modern power metal.

“For me, this album carries a lot of raw and personal emotion”, Tim recently said. “Life always moved forward, and even in the darkest times, love always found its way back. With LOVE KILLS! we explore the beauty and cruelty of love in a futuristic power metal context. It’s Induction at our biggest, boldest, and most fun yet.”

FULL HOUSE BREW CREW Unleash New Studio Album “Glasgow Grin”, Out Now

Greek groove metal heavyweights FULL HOUSE BREW CREW celebrate the release of their brand-new studio album “Glasgow Grin”, out now worldwide via ROAR – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music!

With “Glasgow Grin”, the band returns with maximum force and zero compromises. Driven by crushing riffs, relentless grooves, and raw intensity, the album captures FULL HOUSE BREW CREW in their most aggressive and focused form to date. It is an album that never takes its foot off the gas, delivering pure power from start to finish.

Fronted by guitarist and vocalist Vagelis Karzis (Wolfheart, ex-Rotting Christ), the band unleashes a sound that is both brutally direct and tightly controlled. “Glasgow Grin” reflects a violent state of mind fueled by tension, anger, and personal confrontation.

“We let ourselves loose and did what felt natural to us, without forcing the songwriting in any direction other than what served the song best,” says Karzis.

For the first time, FULL HOUSE BREW CREW collaborated with Finnish sound engineer Saku Moilanen at Deep Noise Studios, who handled mixing and mastering duties. The result is a massive, punchy production that perfectly complements the album’s groove-heavy aggression.

“Like always, the band is moving in a direction that feels right for us,” Karzis adds. “That’s why we keep evolving, taking risks, and changing things. Each album represents a different musical state. Glasgow Grin is the one we are most proud of so far. We worked more as a team than ever before and didn’t hold back for any mainstream reasons.”

“Glasgow Grin” is out now and available here: https://fhbc.rpm.link/glasgowPR

THORBJØRN RISAGER & THE BLACK TORNADO Reveal Radiant Live Version of ‘Said I Was Hurt’

The award-winning roots rockin’ octet Thorbjørn Risager & The Black Tornado are road warriors in the truest sense – not a month passes without them being on tour, it is the environment that they live for, so it’s only fitting that as they are about to head out on an enormous tour across Europe that they reveal their new single, the live version  of ‘Said I Was Hurt’.
 
The song was recorded on 29 November 2025 at Hotel Cecil in Copenhagen, Denmark; one of the band’s final shows on their ‘House of Sticks’ winter tour, and saw the band fully flexing their sophisticated might.
 
Situated at the heart of Copenhagen, the Hotel Cecil has played home to a Jazzhouse, a Playhouse and originally served as a meeting place, lecture hall, and administrative hub for the women’s emancipation movement in Denmark when it was built in 1936. Set to an Art Deco backdrop, it perfectly suits the smooth, smoky blues sounds from Denmark’s hardest working band.

Thorbjørn adds: “The song is written by our guitarist Joachim Svensmark. This live version of the song was recorded at the wonderful venue Hotel Cecil in Copenhagen in November 2025. It’s always special to perform in your own home town in front of long time friends and fans. The place was packed and the crowd was just wonderful. A very special night where everything just came together perfectly.”

The song is taken from the House of Sticks album, which was released in January 2025 via Provogue/Artone and serves as the perfect foil to winter, it emits a slow warming sensation. Slow and soothing, it’s a song that wraps itself around you in a sorrowful embrace. You can visualise it right now.

The eight piece band adorn the high stage, the curtains are raised and, as the lights are turned down low, the band’s neon logo dominates your attention and the drape flanked room catapults you to another place and another time. That’s where the Danish sensations draw you in;  Thorbjørn Risager (Vocals, Electric Guitar), Emil Balsgaard (Organ, Keys), Joachim Svensmark (Electric Guitar), Kasper Wagner (Baritone Sax), Hans Nybo (Tenor Sax), Peter W Kehl (Trumpet), Søren Bøjgaard (Bass) and Martin Seidelin (Drums, Percussion).

They’ve won four Danish Music Awards (with seven nominations), the “Best Band” in the European Blues Awards and won the prestigious German Preis der Deutschen Schallplattenkritik Jahrespreis – German Record Critics’ Awards. Blazing a trail worldwide with more than 1.500 shows, they’ve captivated crowds with their dynamic stage presence and a sound that fuses soul Chicago blues, boogie, and rock ‘n’ roll with a voice where Ray Charles, Van Morrison, and Billy Gibbons meet in the middle. They’ve opened for Bonnie Raitt, the Tedeschi Trucks Band, jammed with the legendary Buddy Guy and even picked up a fan in Elwood Blues himself – Dan Aykroyd! – who hailed their “Hot rhythm and blues.”

They’ve sold over 100.000 physical albums and surpassed 32 million streams over the past two decades with fourteen albums, including eight studio; From the Heart (2006), Here I Am (2007), Track Record (2010), Dust & Scratches (2012), the multi-award-winning Too Many Roads (2014), Change My Game (2017), Come On In (2020), Navigation Blues (2022) and House of Sticks (2025) as well as a Best Of (2021).
