Available as digital audio single today, you can also check out EDGE OF SANITY’s “Uncontroll Me (Remaster 2026)”, taken from the “Cryptic (Re-issue)” album, in a video clip here:

Dan Swanö commented about “Cryptic (Re-issue)” as follows: “This album is so much better than I thought! Since I was out of the band before they started working on these songs, there was only one song I had heard in its entirety before and some odd snippets of some tunes from it over the years. Since the guys were fine with me remastering it, I had to hear it so many times over a short period that I knew every note at the end of it and I must say that I like this version of EDGE OF SANITY more than what “the other guys” wrote for “Infernal”, where I just threw my vocal on top of what they had written, most of it first takes, and that was that. This is really potent writing from the guys, and you can hear that they really rolled up their sleeved and created the best version of what they believed to be what EDGE OF SANITY was all about. Changing singers is never easy for a band, but there are those times like this, when it works out…and the band is revitalized and reborn into something different, but still very potent. I find it sad that the guys never got to make more records with this line-up. We were lucky to get a hold of the original 1/4” master tapes and had them transferred at 96k/24b for a killer vinyl version. The first ever for this album. The original CD release was also made a bit too loud for its own good, in its original mastering, and now it can breathe again and the most expensive production ever for the band can be heard in all its glory. And I know it might be a strange thing to say, but it might well be the best sounding EDGE OF SANITY album, recorded and mixed by the legend Ronny Lahti! The bonus CD has some cool unreleased alternate mixes that we found on the tapes and there’s a pretty around the edges sounding, yet awesome live recording of their gig at the Motala Metal Festival in 1999.”

Roberth Karlsson, EDGE OF SANITY vocalist on “Cryptic”, had the following to add: “Almost 30 years ago, after intense rehearsals, we recorded the EDGE OF SANITY “Cryptic” in Stockholm during a couple of weeks in the summer. Serious recordings every day and partying in the evenings. It feels so good to release this sound-updated album once again, and finally on vinyl!”.

Dan Swanö additionally checked in about the “Elegy – Chapter II (Demos Comp.)” release as follows: ““Elegy – Chapter II” is a feast for the die-hard EDGE OF SANITY fan. Where “Elegy – Chapter I” focused on the early demos, this one is covering the entire career of the band. There are previously unreleased remixes of “Black Tears” and “Blood Colored”. 2024 remixes of “Murder. Dividead” and “I Wanna Go Home”. The pre-production of the “The Spectral Sorrows” album and the 1992 remix of “When all is Said” was transferred from their original masters at 96kHz/24 bit for a maximum fidelity LP master. The 1992 re-recordings of “The Dead”, “Angel of Distress” and “Blood of My Enemies” can also be found here, straight from the master DAT. The Bonus CD contains some really cool stuff that I didn’t even know existed when we started working on these re-issues. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew there was a recording of “Immortal Souls” from our very first rehearsal as a five piece. I checked every cassette I had (and found lots of other cool stuff…), but that version was gone. I got in touch with a guy from the U.K. that I know bought the “Euthanasia” demo from me, and not only did he still have the demo, with the version I was looking for on it, there was one more track on there! My jaw dropped when I heard “The Day of Maturity” for the first time in 36 years! There’s some other very lo-fi but magical sounding stuff on here: A Rehearsal version of “Jesus Cries” that I found on an old cassette and when I asked an old friend if had the very first demo of “When all is Said” (that I sadly never found…) instead he found two live tracks from our first ever gig in Stockholm. I had no idea that gig was even recorded! So, you’ve got “Everlasting” and “Immortal Souls in crushing live versions! A super early, previously unreleased demo of “Lost”. An unreleased “video edit” of the 1992 remix of “When all is Said”. The Cryptic Death cover “Kill the Police” in a shorter, more grinding version and as if that one wasn’t necro-sounding enough, there’s the “written-while-it-was-being-played” track “Belgium in Hell” from…well, you guessed it…Belgium. You can read all about that fantastic trip along with memories from our first gig in March 1990 to the final gig I made with the band in June 1996 and all the ones in between throughout the massive booklet! There are also tons of unseen photos in the booklet and on the Gatefold of the LP. There are also lengthy liner notes about all the songs and lyrics for all the tracks on the LP and CD1. And of course, the instrumentals! A total of eight instrumental versions, perfect for every death metal karaoke night! And it’s all topped off with an excellent cover artwork by Mark Rudolph, which has details from all other album covers blended into one! I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in making this re-issue campaign such a magical journey…I hope you enjoyed listening and reading as much as I did tweaking and typing?!”.

Previously announced, a definitive version of the ground-breaking first solo album “Moontower” by DAN SWANÖ, originally released in 1999, will also be out on March 6th, 2026 via Century Media Records as Ltd. Deluxe 2CD Jewelcase in O-Card (Incl. the original 8 tracks / 43 min. on 1st disc and 16 bonus tracks / 71 min. on 2nd disc), Transparent light blue vinyl LP (180g, 8 tracks) and Digital Album (Remaster, 8 tracks). You can check out the new single “Uncreation (Remaster 2026)” in a visualizer created by Costin Chioreanu / Twighlight13Media here:  https://youtu.be/Ken5QNe8Ew0

Stay tuned for further news regarding the upcoming re-issue title of this final chapter of the catalogue re-issue campaign to follow soon…

HÉR Release New Video ‘Going Down’ from New Album “Monochrome”

HÉR return with “Going Down”, a compact, rhythm-driven track taken from their newly released debut album Monochrome. The track distills movement into sound, favoring pulse and repetition over narrative, and framing descent not as collapse, but as passage toward resolve and freedom.

As vocalist and lyricist Maciej Świniarski explains, “This song is about persistently fighting to become a better version of oneself. It follows a path of digging deeper and deeper, reaching the core of inner darkness in order to break free and evolve.”

Built on earthy percussion and a grounded, forward-moving groove, “Going Down” advances with deliberate economy. Drums and low-register instruments interlock into a muscular cadence, while voices operate as percussive forces, repeating the “yo ho” refrain with ritual insistence. Texture, weight, and momentum carry the emotional charge, lending the song a physical, processional quality where each repetition reinforces endurance and shared intent.

Lyrically minimal, the chant reduces language to breath and rhythm, allowing meaning to emerge through repetition. Within the wider arc of Monochrome, “Going Down” marks a point of kinetic release, counterbalancing the album’s contemplative passages with raw, communal motion. It embodies the record’s central tension between stillness and force, grounding introspection in effort, movement, and collective drive.

The track also holds a particular place within the album’s narrative. Violinist and co-founder Tomasz Chyła notes, “It was a long road to finally bring this album into the light, so releasing it now feels like a huge joy and relief for all of us. It makes it even more special that the new single and video are for the last track written specifically for this album. It truly closes the journey in the way we always hoped it would.”

Monochrome is out now via Season of Mist. Order & stream here: https://orcd.co/hermonochrome

Tracklist:
1. Chant (10:47)
2. Needles and Bark (4:57)
3. Going Down (4:19)
4. Patience in Observation (3:02)
5. Slipknot (6:24)
6. Praise the Day (6:08)
7. Farewell (6:32)
Full runtime: 42:11

“Hér” in Icelandic means „here”. It is a very clear calling from the band to the audience: be here, experience, be inspired, it is happening now, and it is the essence of participating in our artistic expression. The bad was formed in Gdańsk, northern Poland. Five independent, strong musical personalities met “here”—in a specific place and time—to create communitas that are both unique and harmonious.

The music they propose carries the listener to 11th-century Old Norse wisdom poetry. The first inspiration for this artistic meeting were the poems of the Poetic Edda. Hér reveals wild, root-like, undiscovered musical spaces, the clash of worlds, and a glimpse of the otherworld. It uses raw means of expression and sounds, as raw as the North itself: trembling throat singing, increasing trance-like rhythm, gliding over the violin strings like over an ice surface. We start here: Iceland, the beginning of Europe. It is a musical meditation on a place, growing out of specific soil, reaching to the roots of Norse mythology but not stopping there. It is not only the wisdom of the Vikings, Odin’s recommendations for those who stand at the gates of Valhalla. The threshold of the otherworld leads further to universal, human, fundamental experiences.

By exploring the human nature described in Norse mythology, the musicians make a deep insight into the emotions embedded in its verses. They bring out the dark beauty of the North and its extremes: fire and ice, violence and tenderness, bravery and care, the brutality of war and the solace that peace brings, struggle and feast, the milky sweetness of honey and the salty tang of blood, love and hatred, birth and death, beginning and end, terror and awe…

Sestu hérna, sit here… sit here and listen, sit here and grow, sit here and drift away.

Maciej Świniarski — Vocal, Percussion

ROBIN TROWER Celebrates Release of New Live Album with Live Version of ‘Bridge of Sighs’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 1, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

The iconic, award-winning British blues icon Robin Trower has released his new album, One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, via Artone/Provogue.  Listen and order the album HERE.

One Moment In Time: Live In The USA, is a document of Robin Trower in full flight, just as powerful when experienced through your home speakers as it was for the fans on the front row. “At the very least, you want the audience to be feeling entertained by the end of the show,” he considers. “But I’d really like them to walk out feeling elated. I want them to get something emotionally out of this as well…”
 
The evergreen guitar icon unveils a live rendition of his pièce de résistance, Bridge of Sighs. Originally released on the 1974 album of the same name, the track has long since taken on a life of its own—effortlessly bridging generations through its tasteful, soulful, and sophisticated guitar work. Over the years, it has been reinterpreted by artists such as Opeth, Ann Wilson, and Steve Lukather, and even makes a subtle appearance on the end of  Metallica’s 1998 covers album Garage Inc. as a hidden segment featuring part of the song.

From the 14-song setlist whistlestop tour of Trower’s fabled career, the bluesman has already revealed roaring renditions of Too Rolling Stoned , and the previously released live version of Day of the Eagle. “That album is still a very powerful piece of music. You’ll find no fewer than four songs from 1974’s gold-selling masterpiece, Bridge Of Sighs, still universally hailed amongst the greatest albums from the golden era of blues-rock. “Those songs have to be in there, because they’re the audience’s favourites. “That album is still a very powerful piece of music.”   

Track Listing

1. The Razor’s Edge
2. Too Rolling Stoned
3. Wither On The Vine
4. Somebody Calling
5. Distant Places Of the Heart
6. One Go Round
7. It’s Too Late
8. Day Of The Eagle
9. Bridge of Sighs
10. No More Worlds To Conquer
11. Daydream
12. Little Bit of Sympathy
13. Rise Up Like The Sun
14. Birdsong

In the summer of 2025 and riding high on the acclaim for his latest solo album, Come And Find Me (“Trower is to be treasured,” wrote Classic Rock), the guitarist crossed the Atlantic for a 25-date run in the nation that has welcomed him since the start. Almost 60 years have passed since Trower first performed in the Land Of The Free, but as a British gunslinger raised under slate-grey South London skies, he still remembers the culture shock. “I first came here with Procol Harum in the late-Sixties. Back then, it was a different world,” he says.
 
Trower honed in on the material caught at the Music Box At The Borgata, Atlantic City, New Jersey (14 June) and the Tupelo Music Hall in Derry, New Hampshire (24 June).

Other old favourites include Daydream (from 1973’s solo debut, Twice Removed From Yesterday) and Somebody Calling (from 1977’s In City Dreams). Elsewhere, Trower plays the aces up his sleeve with surprise airings of Rise Up Like The Sun (from 1994’s 20th Century Blues) and Distant Places Of The Heart (from his 2007 collaboration with the late Cream bassist Jack Bruce, Seven Moons).

Trower is no heritage artist, and the cheers are just as loud for the four songs from 2022’s No More Worlds To Conquer, not to mention his stalking take on One Go Round (from Come And Find Me). “I love to play One Go Round live – it’s like a hot knife through butter,” he says of the soul-in-fingers strut.

“I prefer this format because I have more freedom,” he explains. “In a three-piece, everybody is trying to make up for the missing instrument. We’ve got Richard Watts on bass and vocals: a wonderful voice, great musician. Then there’s Chris Taggart on drums, another fantastic musician. I’m very fortunate to play with guys of this calibre. We’ve been working together now for a good ten years. They have to watch me a bit, because obviously I’m leading and they have to follow – but they do a brilliant job.”

A pact started with a blood-drenched razor has been formed between SILENT FUTURE DISTRIBUTION and THE SINISTER INITIATIVE. Like everything from the brain of Niklas Kvarforth, The Sinister Initiative is an abyss of nihilist chaos that offers music, merchandise and more for the truly cursed souls that crave darkness.

Now working together with Silent Future, The Sinister Initiative’s vile art will be distributed worldwide effective immediately. This begins with a celebration of Kvarforth’s legendary band SHINING, which marks its 30th anniversary this year, with a complete reissue of the first four classic albums. 

Being labeled ‘The Definitive Editions’, “I / Within Deep Dark Chambers” and “II / Livets Ändhållplats” have both received a visual upgrade by in-house designer Ritual. This is also the case of “III / Angst” and “IV / The Eerie Cold”, however, the latter have also been re-mastered by Andy La Rocque.

Furthermore, the full SHINING catalogue will be reissued in its entirety as this pact unfolds. These “final” editions will come on CD, CASSETTE and beautiful gate-folded, 12″ VINYL editions, including a vinyl-only A2-sized poster.

The first four albums are available for pre-order now at the Silent Future Distribution stores with exclusive merchandise pre-orders to be launched in the immediate future.

HÄLLAS’ New Album “Panorama” Out Now + European Tour Kicks Off Next Friday

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 1, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Swedish rock quintet Hällas have released their fourth full-length Panaroma, via their own label Äventyr Records.

With their new album, Hällas both consolidate and expand the image of what the band is – but also what rock can be. This time, different perspectives in a scenario are explored regarding whether humanity is capable of understanding a viewpoint other than their own. It reflects our time but is, in typical Hällas fashion, staged in a fictional, distant world.

Order Panorama here: https://shop.hallasband.com

Track list:
1. Above the Continuum
2. Face of an Angel
3. The Emissary
4. Bestiaus
5. At the Summit

Hällas have previously announced new Scandinavian and European tour dates in support of the release. A full list of confirmed dates can be found below.

Hällas live

For fans of: Rush, Genesis, The Devil’s Blood, Opeth, Ghost, Graveyard
Genre: Adventure Rock

Forget about everyday life and step into an adventurous fantasy world – that’s what Hällas want for their audience to experience. The Swedish quintet craft epic fantasy-themed concept albums filled with adventurous twin guitars, vintage synths, and mystical storytelling, carving out their own genre of adventure rock.

Their upcoming album Panorama is Hällas‘ fourth full length release. While  staying true to their signature sound and lyricism, it may very well be the most varied and complex so far.

In one way, Panorama sounds familiar: an imaginative hybrid of progressive 70s rock and heavy metal with echoes of both folk and psychedelia, along with conceptual content. In another sense, you have not quite heard a record like this from Hällas before. The self-confidence has never been as evident. Influences from different directions collide, and sometimes clash, contributing to the feeling that the expected instead culminates in wonder at what it is you’re hearing.

Hällas were founded in 2011 and saw their initial breakthrough with their first full length album, Excerpts From A Future Past (2017), and its hit single ‘Star Rider’. Building on their initial success, Hällas released their sophomore album Conundrum in 2020, garnering them a Swedish Grammy nomination. The album trifecta was complete with the release of Isle of Wisdom in 2022, widening their repertoire even further. 

With each release, the band have cultivated a cult following in the modern prog and hard rock scenes around the world. With their cinematic storytelling and timeless sound, Hällas has been touring far and wide-playing sold out shows all over Europe, as well as North and Latin America. Regardless of where, Hällas capture their audience with their own adventure rock universe coming to life on stage. 

With Panorama, the band writes yet another chapter in the story of Hällas. Tread carefully, friends.

Hällas are: 
Tommy Alexandersson: vocals, bass 
Rickard Swahn: guitar 
Marcus Petersson: guitar 
Nicklas Malmqvist: keyboards 
Kasper Eriksson: drums

Brutal Planet Records Announce Remastered Releases of APOSTLE Albums “White Metal” + “Chariots of Iron” on CD & Vinyl

Posted by tarjavirmakari on February 1, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: , . Leave a comment

Brutal Planet Records announces that two long-awaited titles from Florida Christian metal pioneers Apostle are finally getting the deluxe reissue treatment — and both are available now for pre-order at discounted prices exclusively at boonesoverstock.com.

  • White Metal (1985) — available for the first time ever on CD and Vinyl, including the rare 1984 demo as bonus tracks
  • Chariots of Iron (1987) — the underground classic finally receiving its first official CD release

Both titles are fully remastered by Rob Colwell, feature expanded packaging with archival notes and rare photos, and are part of the Metal Icon Series. Quantities are limited, and once they’re gone, they’re gone.


In the early 1980s, when Christian metal was still finding its footing, Apostle emerged from Jacksonville, Florida, led by guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter Matt Harding (1957–2012). What began as a small local group with a deep spiritual calling soon became one of the most dedicated and prolific underground acts in Christian metal. Formed in 1983, Apostle combined fiery, melodic metal with an unwavering devotion to sharing the message of Jesus Christ.

From the start, Apostle’s ministry reached beyond the church walls. As drummer Bill Box recalled, the band would play “anywhere and everywhere—clubs, reformatories, outdoor parks, churches, coffee houses, and skating rinks.” Their mission was to take the gospel wherever people would listen. Bassist Dave Lawson summarized their purpose simply: “What you have to do is sell out to Jesus and let Him change your life. We’ve tried to stay straight to the Bible and sing songs that glorify God.”

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Apostle toured widely across the South and Midwest, often sharing stages with national Christian rock and metal acts such as Whitecross, Bride, and Rez Band. In 1989, Apostle recorded with Glenn Kaiser (Rez Band/JPUSA) in Chicago—one of the scene’s most respected figures—resulting in their most polished and spiritually intense album. Harding’s soaring guitar work, layered harmonies, and heartfelt conviction set Apostle apart as a band unafraid to merge heavy music with deep faith.

Despite their talent and steady output, Apostle’s recordings were distributed only in small cassette runs, making them treasured finds among collectors. Their catalog remained largely unheard outside underground tape-trading circles. These official Retroactive Records reissues finally make that catalog accessible on both CD and vinyl for the first time—all beautifully remastered by Rob Colwell and accompanied by restored artwork and historical notes.

One exception, Prepare to Meet God, did receive a limited CD release years ago but quickly became nearly impossible to find. Its inclusion alongside the earlier Apostle material—and Matt Harding’s solo project Steel Armada—completes the long-overdue restoration of his musical legacy.

Albums included in this Retroactive Records / Metal Icon Series reissue campaign:

  • Apostle – White Metal (1985, +1984 Demo Tracks)
  • Apostle – King of the Saints (1986)
  • Apostle – Chariots of Iron (1987)
  • Apostle – Hymns (1988)
  • Apostle – Apostle (1989)
  • Apostle – Prepare to Meet God (1994)
  • Matt Harding’s Steel Armada – Steel Armada (1989)

Brutal Planet Records had been trying to obtain the rights to reissue Apostle’s music for nearly 30 years. After Matt Harding’s passing in 2012, they continued searching for any contact that could lead to his family or former bandmates—years filled with dead ends and unanswered messages. Eventually, they reached out to the Christian Rock & Metal Facebook group, asking its 80,000 members for help. Chris Rozier (writer for Heaven’s Metal Magazine) responded and connected them with Larry Motes, one of Apostle’s drummers. Larry then contacted Jacob Harding, Matt’s son, and through that connection, this long-awaited reissue campaign was finally set in motion.

Previously available only as a flimsy, low-quality cardboard-sleeve promo that barely surfaced in the collector world, Unburied has long been considered nearly impossible to obtain. This Brutal Planet Records edition finally gives these unearthed horrors a proper home in a jewel case with a 12-page lyric booklet, remastered by Rob Colwell and officially welcomed into the Metal Icon Series.
