BLEED FROM WITHIN Reveal Full Live Audiotree Session

Scottish metal heavyweights, Bleed From Within, are proud to reveal their live Audiotree Session. The band filmed the one take performance during their 2025 North America tour supporting Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium, featuring songs from their latest album Zenith and more. Audiotree are renowned for showcasing talented musicians from around the world. Their channel has become a cornerstone, capturing intimate studio performances from diverse artists.

Bleed From Within stated:
“We’ve had our eyes on Audiotree for quite some time. We saw this as an opportunity to showcase our material in a new light, without the usual production that we have with us in a live environment. In an age of over produced records & bands editing live footage, it felt refreshing to walk into a room and just play our instruments knowing that this was our one take and only chance to dial it in. There were no run throughs or drop ins. Play it loud, then come see it in the flesh in April/May on our first ever headline tour of North America!”

ABOUT BLEED FROM WITHIN

After 20 years, Bleed from Within have reached their Zenith. The Glasgow firebrands are one of the hardest working acts in metal: playing shows globally with everyone from Megadeth to Slipknot, all while writing and regularly releasing monstrous, exhilarating songs. The upward journey reaches new heights on their seventh album, which contains the band’s heaviest, catchiest and most intrepid music to date.

Bleed – vocalist Scott Kennedy, guitarists Craig “Goonzi” Gowans and Steven Jones, drummer Ali Richardson and bassist Davie Provan – have long been Scottish metal’s most valued sons, constantly at the vanguard of muscular-sounding music. First albums Humanity (2009) and Empire (2010) made them cult figureheads in the deathcore scene, before Uprising (2013) broadened their palate with groove metal adrenaline and melodic death metal prowess. It also marked their major-label debut, catapulting them onto tours with heavy royalty.

In 2018, the band returned with the ferocious Era. Then, follow-ups Fracture (2020) and Shrine (2022) proved their greatest triumphs to date, intertwining Scott’s snarls with Steven’s majestic singing. The millions of streams gathered by such singles as ‘The End of All We Know’, ‘Into Nothing’ and ‘Levitate’ proved Bleed had become the next big thing. On Zenith – which was announced alongside career-affirming tours with Slipknot, Trivium and Bullet for My Valentine – the quintet are primed to leap into superstardom.

Across 11 songs, Zenith explores the parameters of what pulse-pounding metal can do. ‘Violent Nature’ is the most attention-demanding opener Bleed have ever penned, accelerating from a distorted intro to an onslaught of drums, blitzkrieg riffs and layer upon layer of screams. Single ‘In Place of Your Halo’ is a heavier counterpoint: its hulking groove leads up to a surprising bagpipe section, keeping the band in touch with their homeland as they affirm themselves on the world’s stage. From the bold string sections throughout the album to finale ‘Edge of Infinity’, which rises from acoustic guitars and singing to an almighty crescendo, Bleed’s horizons have never been broader. Yet, their songs have never felt so invigorating across the board either.

ALLY VENABLE Announces September 2026 UK Tour with Special Guest Garret T. Willie

Following her triumphant October 2025 UK Tour, Texas based blues rock guitarist Ally Venable will embark on 10-date UK Tour in September 2026. Special guest on all shows is the celebrated Canadian blues rock phenom, Garret T. Willie.

Tickets for all concerts, except Glasgow and Faversham, are available from altickets.com.

Tickets for Ally’s concert at Stereo in Glasgow are available from Ticketmaster. Tickets for the concert at The Old Brewery in Faversham are available from Gigantic.com.

Ally’s UK tour follows hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed sixth studio album Money & Power. Released by Ruf Records, the album’s available on vinyl, CD and digital HERE.

“Money & Power is such a strong statement, especially for women,” says the award-winning Texas gunslinger of her Nashville-recorded album, on which Ally’s crack-squad band is joined by A-list guests Shemekia Copeland and Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram.

“All the songs on this album showcase the theme of what it truly means to be a force to be reckoned with. I want this record to wake people up,” continues Ally.

Money and power make the world go round. But in the right hands, music can be every bit as potent. Right now, on the heels of 2023’s acclaimed Real Gone – an album that hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts and was still in contention a year later – Ally is rated amongst the best young singer-songwriters in American roots, saluted by Total Guitar magazine in its poll of Top 100 Blues Guitarists.

“With her heels, sequins and Les Paul growling on a leash, she’s one of Ruf Record‘s most head-turning young artists,” wrote Classic Rock, “and while the instrumental prowess can be taken as read, Real Gone marks a growing maturity in the Texan’s songcraft.”

In February 2024, with the dust still settling from Real Gone, the Money & Power sessions saw Ally and producer/drummer Tom Hambridge push through the doors of Nashville’s famous Soundstage Studios. And while the studio band was strictly A-list, as always, Ally’s new songs are the real stars. That attitude is palpable on opener “Brown Liquor,” Ally’s battle cry decorated by a stinging guest guitar solo from the Mississippi hotshot Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram.

Money & Power is a modern roots record that plays by its own rules and marches to the beat of its own drum. The same could be said for Ally herself. “I’m thrilled to release this album,” she says. “For me, it’s a sonic embodiment of a woman’s unstoppable ambition, and showcases my musicality on all fronts.”

BAMBEES to Release New Single ‘Noeyes//Nolove’ on February 11th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 28, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BAMBEES. Leave a comment

BAMBEES will release their new single ‘NOEYES//NOLOVE‘ on the 11th February, via Flip Flop Records.

“NOEYES//NOLOVE is built around a loud, groovy riff and fast, physical momentum — made for sweaty rooms. The track plays with the idea of a parasite living inside you: a negative part of yourself that drains you and can’t be removed. It’s handled with a raw, aggressive edge rather than anything overly dark.”

Preorder here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/bambees/noeyesnolove

BAMBEES are a chaotic concoction of Welsh life, loud riffs, and unfiltered energy. Formed in the heart of Merthyr Tydfil, their sound is soaked in the grit of post-industrial Wales: hard-working, rough around the edges, and defiantly alive. 

On stage, their name has become shorthand for high-energy chaos—five close friends turning raw emotion into a glorious racket that’s as much about community as it is about noise. The BAMBEES take the frustration, humour, and heart of their hometown and hurl it through jagged guitar riffs, pounding drums, and shout-along choruses, creating performances that feel like both a rebellion and a celebration.

Discography:
Modern Casanova – Single (2023) 
On with the Show – Single (2023) 
Failure Behaviour – Single (2023) 
Unlucky Rabbit – Single (2024) 
Soup of the Day – EP (2025)

• Played Chepstow Castle, supporting The Blackout (2025)
• Supported GANS, Panic Shack, and Coach Party. 
• Airplay on BBC Introducing Wales and local radio stations. 
• Headline shows across South Wales. 

Influences: Soft Play, IDLES, Amyl and the Sniffers

KOLDBRANN & TILINTETGJORT Announce Split 7” Single, Out February 13th

Norwegian Black Metal bands Koldbrann and Tilintetgjort join forces on a new split single, featuring one new and exclusive track from each band.
 
The single marks the first new release from Koldbrann, since their Norwegian Grammy Award winning album ‘Ingen Skånsel’ (2024), and the first new release from Tilintetgjort, since their acclaimed debut album ‘In Death I Shall Arise’ (2023).

The split single will be released February 13, through Dark Essence Records, digitally and on a limited edition 7-inch vinyl, with track listing as follows:

  1. Side A: Koldbrann – Den Klandestine Kjerne
  2. Side B: Tilintetgjort – Eons in Oblivion

Koldbrann’s Mannevond and Tilintetgjort’s Sturt: comments on the background of this unique partnership:
 
“‘Den Klandestine Kjerne’ was among the first songs we made for the recordings of ‘Ingen Skånsel’, along with the album’s two opening tracks. But it became clear, quite early in the process, that we wanted to save this one for a special release. Enter TILINTETGJORT. Their 2023 debut album is one of the most interesting Norwegian Black Metal albums in years, and their rare approach felt like the perfect fit for our orphaned recording, so we are delighted that they wanted to join us on this split release, presenting their first new single since their debut. All while keeping the old underground split-tradition alive.”
– Mannevond / Koldbrann 
 
“When we first heard Koldbrann’s splendid and eerie track for the split, we knew we needed something special to complement their excellence. We dove deep into the darkness surrounding us and crafted something utterly evil. Death be upon you all!
– Sturt: / Tilintetgjort
 

Completing the release is the unsettling monotype cover art, courtesy of Indonesian visual artist Bahrull Marta, with layout and design by Salowe Vision.

The split 7” comes on white vinyl, including insert with lyrics, in a limited edition of 300 copies.

  • Bandcamp Tilintetgjort: https://tilintetgjort.bandcamp.com/album/den-klandestine-kjerne-eons-in-oblivion

Koldbrann’s ‘Den Klandestine Kjerne’ was recorded during the recordings of ‘Ingen Skånsel’, 2021-2022. Music by Mannevond, 2018-2020. Lyrics by Kvass, 2020.
 
Tilintetgjort’s ‘Eons In Oblivion’ was recorded in 2025, in Evil Octopus Studio, at the same time as the upcoming second album, giving you a taste of what to come. Music by Sturt: and Hazzlegard. Lyrics by Sturt:.
 
Erratic and disquieting, in an unsound display of Norwegian Black Metal, ‘Den Klandestine Kjerne’ will permeate your mental faculties and pull you into the mind’s worm-ridden courtyard!
 
Where damnation and despair intertwine, and the gloomy end is nigh. ‘Eons In Oblivion’ is the soundtrack to the obliteration of your inner self, your existence and your very being. Let death surround you and lead you astray.

ALL FOR METAL Part Ways with Antonio Calanna – Band Seeking New Voice

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 27, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ALL FOR METAL. Leave a comment

All for Metal and singer Antonio Calanna are going their separate ways.
Antonio is leaving the band to focus fully on his solo career with „A Cold Paradise“. We thank Antonio for the time we spent together, his dedication, and many powerful moments, and wish him all the best for the future.

At the same time, All For Metal are looking ahead: effective immediately, the band is beginning the search for a new voice—a singer (male or female) who not only convinces vocally, but also fits the image and energy of All for Metal on a personal and visual level.
The band is looking for a real stage personality: charismatic, present, close to the audience, and with the hunger to make every show an experience.

In search for:

  • A distinctive, powerful rock/metal voice with recognition value
  • Strong stage presence and a genuine “front animal” attitude
  • Identification with the style and image of All for Metal
  • Professionalism, team spirit, and availability for rehearsals, studio work, and live performances

Applications (including a short introduction, photos, links to live/video recordings, and demos if available) should be sent to: contact@allformetal.com

All for Metal would like to thank all fans for their support and look forward to sharing more news about the next chapter of the band soon.

All relevant information regarding the casting is also available via the following link: https://bio.to/afmcasting
