THE BRAINS Celebrate “Vampire Zombies From Space” with Eponymous Single + Video

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE BRAINS, Vampire Zombies From Space. Leave a comment

Vampire Zombies From Space! has been described as one of the greatest 50s B-movies released this century, and it has swept up a bucketful of awards as well. 

Best Feature Film at Terror In The Bay (Canada), Fright Nights Austria and the South African Horrorfest; Best Film at Descubierto Film Festival (Peru) and Terror CĂłrdoba (Argentina); Best Canadian Feature at the Victoria Film Festival; Best Sci-Fi Feature at the New York City Horror Film Festival and Best Screenplay at Cine Underground (Italy), Vampire Zombies From Space! also made off with the ultra-prestigious Golden Shovel at the Buried Alive Film Festival.

Yep, they really dug it there.

Now, with Cleopatra Entertainment having unleashed the movie’s first time DVD and Blu-Ray release earlier this month, everybody’s favorite monster mash-up The Brains arise from the infernal pit that they call home, to celebrate Vampire Zombies From Space! with a single that condenses the entire film into just two and a half minutes and a six word lyric (and accompanying video) which – no matter how many times you might already have seen the movie – is guaranteed to make you watch it again.

“Vampire Zombies, Yeah Yeah, From Space,” sings Brains mainman Rene De La Muerte, and those really are the only words that the song requires.  The band, after all, long ago established itself as the most gorgeously ghoulish punk band around
 catch their Crazy Monster album, released last summer, for further evidence of that.  Who else could we have asked to celebrate this landmark cinematic epic?

Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQGproMEVLo&t=3s

“What a cool and unexpected piece inspired by our film. When we were making the film we never imagined that there would be a song and music video created for it.  And it’s even cooler that Rene is a fellow Canadian. Amazing work!” — Theodore Bezaire, writer.director.producer/ VAMPIRE ZOMBIES FROM SPACE!

But, like the movie itself, “Vampire Zombies From Space” nevertheless unleashes a whole new wave of gothic horror, and so what if you can see the strings as the spaceship wobbles?  The Brains bring the entire story to vivid, vicarious life with an earworm that will burrow so deep inside your head that it could be a horror film in its very own right.  And imagine that!  An army of Brains fans walking the streets, stiff limbed and arms stretched, all chanting in perfect harmony
 

“Vampire Zombies, Yeah Yeah, From Space.”

Watch it, sing it, and if you’re not undead already, live it. Buy the DVD/BR, HERE.

ROTH Release New Album “Alles Endet”, Out Now

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ROTH. Leave a comment

German dark metal force ROTH have officially released their long-awaited new album “Alles Endet” via Massacre Records on 2CD Mediabook, limited Vinyl LP and digital formats.

LISTEN/GET YOUR COPY HERE: https://massacre-records.com/roth_alles_endet_sale

With â€œAlles Endet”, ROTH deliver their darkest, most personal and uncompromising work to date. Following the acclaimed debut Nachtgebete, mastermind Quentin Roth spent more than four years shaping a record of complete artistic control: every composition, every lyric and every instrumental performance was created by Quentin himself. For the first time, he also took full responsibility for production and mix, forging the album’s cold, oppressive and intensely modern sound at Panic Room Studios.

The album was mastered by renowned engineer Markus Stock at Klangschmiede Studio E, adding clarity, depth and crushing impact to an already powerful sonic architecture.

Across twelve tracks, “Alles Endet” expands the band’s signature sound into a broader and more extreme emotional spectrum, blending crushing Neue Deutsche HĂ€rte rhythms, macabre melodies, grim storytelling, folk-tinged atmospheres and moments of unsettling intimacy. Songs such as the title track “Alles Endet” and “Zahle Den Preis” set the tone with their relentless heaviness and stark lyrical themes, while other compositions explore violence, decay, guilt and fatalism with cinematic intensity.

The unmistakable voice of M. Roth, Quentin’s father, once again defines the album’s narrative identity, delivering the lyrics with authority, menace and emotional depth. Additionally, the Mediabook edition includes four exclusive bonus tracks featuring Quentin Roth himself on vocals, fulfilling a long-standing wish among fans. Guest guitarist Cedric Roß contributes lead guitar work on several tracks, adding sharpness and aggression to key moments throughout the record.

Visually, â€œAlles Endet” is completed by the dark and evocative artwork created by Svartir Andar Graphix, perfectly reflecting the album’s themes of decay, inevitability and emotional unrest.

With â€œAlles Endet”, ROTH present a cohesive and uncompromising artistic statement – a bold step forward that cements their position as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary German dark metal.

SENKI Sign Global Deal with Wormholedeath for Release of New EP “SzilĂĄnkok”

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SENKI. Leave a comment

Wormholedeath Records is proud to announce the signing of Hungarian modern metal powerhouse SENKI. This new partnership will see the global digital release of the band’s highly anticipated EP, “SzilĂĄnkok” (Shards), on March 13, 2026.

Emerging from the depths of the Hungarian underground, SENKI (Hungarian for “Nobody”) has evolved from a solitary vision into a crushing collective. Their sound, a blend of Metalcore, Groove, and Progressive Metal, is defined by tension-driven riffs, massive dynamic shifts, and an uncompromising vocal delivery that mirrors the raw energy of their live performances.

A Personal Battle Captured in Sound

For frontman and founder Ákos Rikter, SzilĂĄnkok is more than just a collection of songs; it is a sonic confession. The EP explores the internal fracture between the relentless pursuit of artistic dreams and the profound responsibilities of family life.

“It is a huge honor that such an acclaimed label sees potential in Senki’s music and concept,” the band stated. “We have been searching for a long time for a partner who can help us achieve our goals, and we believe that Wormholedeath Records is the best base for taking the next step. We are ready to work together to bring the emotional charge of ‘SzilĂĄnkok’ to the international community.”

The Evolution of SENKI

What began in 2018 as Ákos Rikter’s solo project has transformed into a formidable three-piece. After years of refinement and several lineup iterations, the band solidified its foundation with bassist OlivĂ©r TakĂĄcs and the recent addition of drummer AdriĂĄn Miskoltzy in late 2025. With a complete lineup and a global label behind them, SENKI is now ready for international expansion and is already developing material for a full-length album.

“SzilĂĄnkok” tracklist:

  1. DilemmĂĄim
  2. Hegyeken tĂșl
  3. Mint égen a csillag
  4. SzilĂĄnkok

Over the years, the band has steadily refined their identity, earning respect from fans and critics alike within the melodic rock community.

At the core of Creye remains founding member and visionary Andreas Gullstrand, whose guitar work continues to define the band’s signature sound.

The arrival of Simon Böös on vocals adds a fresh dynamic, bringing passion, range that elevates the new material to even greater heights.

LIMBERLOST Release New Single + Lyric Video ‘Give it to Me (Redux)’ from Upcoming EP “Villian”

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: LIMBERLOST. Leave a comment

Explosive. Fierce. Unapologetic. Limberlost kicks off 2026 with a re-imagined version of their 2023 only released in Europe, fan-favorite anthem “Give it to Me”, transforming it into a modern rock powerhouse that hits harder than ever. Reborn from its original roots, this version fuses high-energy guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and powerhouse vocals that redefine the band’s signature sound.

“Give It to Me (Redux)” is a declaration of strength, passion, and pure rock ’n’ roll adrenaline — a sonic punch that dares listeners to take back their Power and Claim what’s theirs. With production that’s both cinematic and raw, it bridges classic rock intensity with a cutting-edge alternative edge, appealing to fans of Halestorm, Evanescence, Linkin Park, and The Pretty Reckless.

Lyrically, the song captures the hunger for authenticity and emotional connection in a world of noise and distraction — a cry for something real and uncompromising. Backed by their acclaimed new album Beautiful Scars, three SMR Top 50 singles, and 2 award winning videos with over a million views each, Limberlost proves once again that their fire only burns hotter with time.

Turn it up, feel the pulse, and demand it all — this is â€œGive It to Me” like you’ve never heard it before.

STREAM “Give it to Me(Redux)”: https://limberlostmusic.com/give-it-to-me-redux

Limberlost is a powerhouse American rock band delivering a bold fusion of modern and classic rock with soaring vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and thunderous rhythms. Known for their anthemic sound, raw energy, and emotionally charged storytelling, they create music that resonates with fans of classic rock legends and contemporary rock revivalists alike. Their songs capture themes of strength, resilience, and empowerment, making them a force in the rock scene. With a commanding stage presence and dynamic compositions, Limberlost is redefining female-fronted rock, bringing authenticity, passion, and rock authority to audiences worldwide.

Limberlost’s rise is backed by Paul Crosby Management, led by Paul Crosby, drummer of the multi-platinum rock band Saliva. His industry expertise and strategic vision have positioned the band for massive success in today’s rock landscape.

Limberlost is known for their captivating female led vocals. Leads Brittany Lauren and Sammie Gorham both classically trained and accomplished opera singers that bring their beauty, power and precision to cut through rock’s sometimes predictable expectations.

Adding to their momentum is the recent addition of Metal Hall of Fame bass player Steve Unger, known for his work with legendary bands Metal Church and Autograph. His veteran stage presence and technical prowess bring a new depth to Limberlost’s already dynamic sound, elevating their live performances and recording capabilities to the next level.

If that’s not enough the addition of Steve’s son Devon Unger on Lead Guitar. Not only can his melodies mesmerize, and his shredding solos make you want to scream “Hell Ya!” but he will have the ladies eating out of his hands.

Wrap it up with Anthony Ciarochi on Keys and Mike Burt (Founder) on drums. Two solid industry veterans that anchor the stage presence and the sound.
