HALF ME Continue Their Rise with Brutal New Video Single ‘Built On Your Blood’

German metalcore powerhouse HALF ME return with their most uncompromising statement to date: ‘Built On Your Blood.’ Following the overwhelming success of their critically acclaimed debut album SOMA and a prestigious Heavy Music Awards nomination, the Hamburg-based five-piece once again prove why they have become one of the most talked-about new names in modern heavy music.

A furious assault on conformity, sacrifice, and the systems that thrive on human suffering, ‘Built On Your Blood’ channels pure aggression into a devastating sonic experience. Crushing breakdowns, suffocating grooves, and vicious vocal performances collide with lyrics that question blind obedience, survival instincts, and the price of complacency in a world built on exploitation.

Drawing from themes of systemic decay and personal responsibility, the track paints a bleak picture of a society fueled by sacrifice and submission. Lines such as “This world is built on your own blood” serve as a stark reminder of the human cost hidden behind structures of power, while the song’s relentless energy transforms frustration into a call for resistance.

Musically, HALF ME push their signature blend of modern metalcore, hardcore intensity, and oppressive atmosphere to new extremes. Every riff, breakdown, and groove is designed for maximum impact, delivering a track built for chaos, catharsis, and absolute destruction in the live setting.

Since their emergence, HALF ME have rapidly established themselves as one of Germany’s most exciting heavy exports. With millions of streams across digital platforms, high-profile tours and festival appearances throughout Europe, and widespread acclaim for SOMA, the band continue their unstoppable ascent. ‘Built On Your Blood’ captures HALF ME at their most relentless, most aggressive, and most unapologetic – a crushing reminder that the future of heavy music belongs to those willing to challenge the status quo.

With ‘Built On Your Blood,’ HALF ME deliver nothing less than pure devastation.

INSANIA.11 Unleash New Album “Il mondo aldilà”, Out Now

“Do you see our cities? Our constant struggle to earn a place in the front row and admire the glory of the powerful? Then pull your eyes out and look at what we truly are: we are the dream of a dying god“.

This is where the anticipations of the dystopian universe of “Il mondo aldilà”, the new concept album by INSANIA.11, lay deep.

It portrays a society where technological progress imposed a rigid discipline upon humanity that reduced human beings to a state of alienating servitude. The story unfolds through the eyes of a spiritual movement developed in this surreal reality. By using psychedelic drugs, the followers of this subversive cult force open the boundaries between the physical world and the astral plane.

The distortion of reality thins the veil separating humanity’s confined existence from other realms, making their perception possible. Fragile and undefined in some of these worlds, a clarified essence of our chronicle reflect a heightened and distorted version of our own reality, while others echo memories of ancient myths acknowledged in our childhood. Some are worlds of prisons, others are worlds of theshold and of a transition from embryo to chrysalis to butterfly. A flutter of wings that shakes the structure of reality itself.

“Il mondo aldilà” is a complex and nerdy work that plunges the listener’s ear labyrinths into the labyrinth of the film The Shining. It’s like a Rubik’s Cube of extreme metal that dismantles and reassembles death metal, black metal and progressive sound to serve its narrative by challenging both ears and mind. This is a multidimensional object whose most recognizable reflections recall Death, Coroner, Necrophagist and Necrophobic.

Bleak, claustrophobic, razor-sharp and liberating, “Il mondo aldilà” is now available on all digital platforms. Physical copies are available on Bandcamp.

Listen to “Il mondo aldilà” on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/intl-it/album/5X2LaMYRsxcA9q6aLoGARS

INSANIA.11 emerged from the ashes of Insania, a thrash(core) band active between 1989 and 1997 with a demo and a handful of rough recordings. The project turned in 2008 into a studio-based entity led by Samaang, eventually materializing in 2010 with the EP “I Diari di Samaang: lo Stato Larvale”.

Following an attempted reunion with the original lineup, the project consolidated around the core duo of Samaang and Ethrum, leading to the release of “Di Sangue e di Luce” in 2017. Despite limited distribution, the album received positive feedback from the specialized press. In 2019, “L’Orrore” was released after a few setbacks and hardship.

New material emerged from 2019 and despite the difficulties encountered by the isolation of the pandemic period, the creative process expanded into a broader and more structured work. Alongside the songwriting, a unified conceptual framework took form, while vocal techniques were refined through the collaboration with Scream Studios. Once the arrangements and recordings were completed, “Il mondo aldilà” reached its final form with the contribution of Marco Allemandi who handled mixing and mastering at Triora Records.

CRYSTAL BALLS Join Wanikiya Record with New Single ‘Peace Of Mind’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 28, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: CRYSTAL BALLS. Leave a comment

Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to officially welcome Crystal Balls to its artist roster while simultaneously announcing the release of the band’s powerful new single, “Peace Of Mind,” available today on all major digital streaming platforms.

Formed between Isernia and Castel di Sangro in November 2021, Crystal Balls have quickly established themselves as one of the most promising emerging acts in the new Italian rock scene. Beginning their journey as a cover band paying tribute to the legendary hair metal and glam rock artists of the ’80s and ’90s, the group gradually developed its own distinctive musical identity, creating original compositions that successfully blend tradition with innovation.

The band’s name perfectly reflects its artistic vision: just as a crystal ball embraces the past, present, and future, Crystal Balls draw inspiration from the legacy of classic rock, reinterpreting it through a contemporary perspective while pushing it toward exciting new musical horizons.

With “Peace Of Mind,” the band delivers one of the most personal and emotionally profound songs of its career. The track explores delicate yet universal themes such as inner suffering, the search for one’s identity, and the daily battle against the demons of the mind.

More than simply a song, “Peace Of Mind” is an honest confession—a deeply personal wound transformed into music. Inspired by the songwriter’s own life experience, the track tells the difficult journey of living with bipolar disorder, yet it never becomes a clinical narrative. Instead, its story unfolds through powerful symbolic imagery representing loneliness, inner conflict, and the constant search for emotional balance.

The powerful refrain, “Looking for my peace of mind,” becomes the emotional centerpiece of the song: a cry cast into the void, expressing the desperate yet determined pursuit of an inner peace that often seems impossible to reach.

The song moves through the extremes of the human experience, ultimately condensed into the closing words “Dreams, Hope, Love, Death,” portraying a battle that goes far beyond a specific condition. It speaks to anyone who has ever struggled with their own vulnerabilities while searching for the strength to rediscover themselves.

“Peace Of Mind” tells the story of someone who continues searching for light even in life’s darkest moments. It is a message of resilience, authenticity, and courage that resonates deeply with every listener.

Crystal Balls’ addition to the Wanikiya Record/Promotion roster marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the band as they prepare to bring their music and message to an ever-growing international audience through promotional campaigns, media partnerships, interviews, reviews, and new artistic opportunities.

With their distinctive sound—born from the fusion of diverse musical influences and driven by a powerful expressive vision—Crystal Balls prove themselves to be a band capable of addressing profound subjects without sacrificing the energy and communicative power of rock music.

“Peace Of Mind” is available since June 26, 2026, on all major digital streaming platforms.

Wormholedeath is pleased to announce the release of “The Gap,” the new single from Sydney thrash/heavy metal band Decimator.

Musically unrelenting but emotionally complex, “The Gap” tackles the heavy duality of human struggle. Inspired by Sydney’s infamous coastal landmark, the track explores the thin line between tragedy and survival.

“It’s a song about despair and hope,” explains guitarist Caiseal Duncan. “The Gap is a tragic place where many people have gone to end their lives. But after decades, maybe some go there and think again about their decision? Maybe there’s a force that makes them reconsider and return to their life?”

“The Gap” is the first release from Decimator’s forthcoming album and marks the debut of the band’s new lineup, with Ash Pollard now behind the kit.

About DECIMATOR:
