Two decades into their existence, ELDER remain an anomaly in the heavy underground – a rare band with the ability to absorb and shed influences from a myriad of genres without falling into pastiche or losing their own identity. Their new studio offering, Through Zero, stands as a strong reaffirmation of their commitment to pushing boundaries in the world of heavy rock and cements the group’s status as leaders of the pack in heavy psychedelic rock.

Over the past twenty years, ELDER have mastered crushing riffs, melodic jaunts, progressive patterns, hypnotic grooves and ethereal atmosphere. On Through Zero, the band channel these years of experience into what may be their most immediate and engaging record to date, while allowing seeds from outside the sphere of rock music to take root and bloom within their progressive framework. Listeners will find familiar elements of new textures, sequences, and sounds alongside ELDER’s iconic take on heavy rock. As always, every spin reveals new details. 

Recorded at Big Snuff Studios in Berlin across several months between tours in 2025, Through Zero marks the first album the band not only produced themselves, but also co-mixed together with longtime collaborator Richard Behrens. Mastered by Carl Saff, the result is a record that feels more like a full extension of the band’s creative intentions than ever before.

Through Zero is out now on Stickman Records (Europe/UK), Blues Funeral Recordings (North America), and Bird’s Robe (Australia).

THE CHRONICLES OF MANIMAL AND SAMARA have unleashed their fourth studio album, MISANTROPI, now available worldwide. The album’s launch is accompanied by the official music video for the lead track, “Misantropia”, a raw and cathartic anthem fuelled by misanthropic rage. Known for their visceral blend of spoken poetry and metal, London duo Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi deliver a powerful and unfiltered manifesto for those who despise humanity. The album can be purchased on 12” Vinyl at tcomas.com/misantropi.

The duo describes their album succinctly:

“For humans who hate people.”

“MISANTROPI is human made,” the band elaborates. “It’s played with real instruments, with hands, feet, vocal cords, and human body parts. It’s raw, it’s unfiltered. It’s for those who see through the facade and aren’t afraid to admit that they hate what we have become.” 

Staying true to their roots, MISANTROPI fuses spoken word and poetry over heavy metal riffs, but with a renewed focus on the classic setup of drums, bass, and guitars. The album also features more singing and melodic vocals, adding a visceral human element to their already intense sound.

Performed, composed and written by Daphne Ang and Andrea Papi of The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara, MISANTROPI was recorded and produced by Andrea Papi at TCOMAS Studio, with mixing and mastering from Marinos Tountas at Ergosphere Studios. The album cover artwork was created by TCOMAS Studio.

Already making waves, the new album was introduced by its explosive first single, ‘Girotondo’ in March 2026, followed by “The Last Plague”, which gained recognition on Apple Music’s editorial playlists ‘Breaking Metal’ and ‘Breaking Hard Rock’. “The Last Plague” also charted in eight countries on Apple Music, reaching #1 on the Metal Liberia chart.

Following the success of their 2024 album Origins, which broke into the UK Top 100 Albums Chart on Apple Music and garnered six singles with playlist placements across major streaming platforms, MISANTROPI continues The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara’s legacy of raw, self-produced music (Full Spectrum, Trust No Leaders, Origins) since their emergence in 2020. Always evolving, their new album reaffirms the duo’s reputation as provocateurs in the heavy music scene, with a sound and message that will continue to captivate and challenge audiences worldwide.

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara

The Chronicles of Manimal and Samara (TCOMAS) was born in London when Daphne Ang from Singapore and Andrea Papi from Italy joined forces in early 2020. TCOMAS introduced their innovative sound in their first album, Full Spectrum, an eclectic blend of heavy rock and electronic with poetry performance, most notably the single ‘Love in the Time of Pestilence’ which graced several editorial Spotify playlists (Alternative Metal, Progressive Metal). TCOMAS became known for melding heavy music with the elegance of poetry and poignant lyrics on their second album Trust No Leaders, released in July 2022. The record explored the history of metal and its sub-genres, showcasing non-Western musical influences and lyrics inspired by Jungian psychology. All seven singles released from this album entered the Soundcloud charts. The duo returned in 2024 with the release of their third album Originsin November. The albumentered the Apple Music Album Chart Top 100 in the UK. All six singles from this album earned editorial playlist placements on Apple Music and Amazon Music. The single ‘Feed the Beast’, entered the Apple Music Single Charts in Turkey. TCOMAS’s unique approach to combining music and visual storytelling has also garnered attention worldwide. Their self-produced music videos have been screened at numerous prestigious international film festivals around the world, receiving 66 official selections and nominations to date. In 2026, the band are back to release their 4th studio album, MISANTROPI, out now.

THE WARNING Announce New Album “Everything’s Falling”, New Single ‘Ritual’ Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 14, 2026

The Warning officially announce their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Everything’s Falling, arriving August 28 via Lava/Republic Records. Revealed this week through the band’s dedicated album website, www.everythingsfalling.com, the project marks the beginning of a bold new chapter for the Monterrey sister trio. Alongside the announcement, The Warning share their powerful new single “Ritual,” available now. Listen HERE, watch HERE, purchase the merch collection HERE, and pre-order the album on limited edition signed CD & vinyl HERE.

Driven by haunting melodies, crushing instrumentation, and an unforgettable chorus, “Ritual” explores the fear of losing something good and the tendency to anticipate disaster even in moments of happiness. The song channels anxiety, obsession, and self-sabotage into one of the band’s most vulnerable and compelling releases to date.

The band shares, “‘Ritual’ is about the fear of losing something good. Even when life is going well, anxiety can convince you that disaster is right around the corner. It’s about getting trapped in those thoughts and letting them keep you from actually living in the moment.”

Alongside today’s release, The Warning officially announce their forthcoming album Everything’s Falling, arriving August 28th. The project captures the band’s continued evolution, both personally and creatively, as Daniela “Dany” Villarreal, Paulina “Pau” Villarreal, and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal reflect on growth, resilience, and the lessons learned along the way.

Reflecting on the album, the band says: “Everything’s Falling is a snapshot of where we are in our lives right now. We’ve grown so much over the past few years, not just as musicians, but as people. This album reflects everything we’ve experienced, the lessons we’ve learned, and the challenges we’ve overcome.

At its core, it’s about accepting that life can be messy and unpredictable. Things fall apart, plans change, and sometimes you lose your footing. But those moments can teach you the most about yourself, and they’re often what make you stronger in the end.”

Following the explosive releases of “Kerosene” and “Ego,” “Ritual” offers the most revealing look yet at Everything’s Falling. Together, the three tracks showcase a band continuing to push forward, embracing uncertainty while transforming life’s challenges into powerful, cathartic music.

In 2026, The Warning continue their global ascent with performances across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America, including dates supporting Yungblud on the IDOLS World Tour, major festival appearances worldwide, and headline shows of their own.

ABOUT THE WARNING:
The Warning grew up writing songs, playing shows, and sharpening their craft together in Monterrey, Mexico. That lifelong bond between sister Daniela “Dany” (guitar, lead vocals, piano), Paulina “Pau” (drums, vocals, piano), and Alejandra “Ale” Villarreal (bass, piano, backing vocals) fuels their uncompromising vision and drives the chemistry that powers the band. After building a global audience with early independent releases, The Warning broke through with ERROR [2022] and Keep Me Fed[2024]. The latter pushed their career streams past 710 million and earned a Latin GRAMMY® nomination for Best Rock Song for “Qué Más Quieres,” alongside nominations at the MTV VMAs and MTV EMAs. Relentless touring has taken them around the world, headlining packed venues and sharing stages with artists including Yungblud, Halsey, Evanescence, Muse, and Foo Fighters. In 2025, they capped off the cycle with sold-out shows for 30,000 fans in Mexico City, captured on the live album and concert film Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX, which screened in AMC and Cinépolis theaters. In 2026, The Warning launched their next era with the singles “Kerosene,” “Ego,” and “Ritual,” setting the stage for their highly anticipated fourth studio album, Everything’s Falling. Arriving August 28th, the album marks the band’s most ambitious and personal work yet, capturing a period of growth, self-discovery, and resilience while showcasing the fearless songwriting and explosive musicianship that have made them one of modern rock’s most exciting forces.

With ‘Forsaker’, Doomcrusher unleash a relentless metalcore assault that cuts straight to the core of betrayal, self-destruction, and personal rebirth. The latest single from the German heavy music supergroup is an uncompromising statement of resilience, transforming inner turmoil and emotional scars into a devastating display of modern Metalcore aggression. 

Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/revnoir

Featuring members of renowned German acts Any Given Day, Rage, and Betontod, Doomcrusher combine decades of collective experience with a fresh and uncompromising vision. Since their formation, the band has quickly gained momentum within the heavy music scene, amassing more than 2 million streams across digital platforms and establishing themselves as one of the most promising new forces in modern metalcore. At its core, ‘Forsaker’ is a song about breaking free. It captures the painful realization that some people, relationships, and even parts of ourselves can become toxic enough to hold us captive. Through brutally honest lyrics, the track explores the feeling of being trapped in an endless cycle of self-doubt, chasing shadows while becoming a slave to your own thoughts.

REVNOIR Join Forces with Carpenter Brut on New Single ‘Alchemised’

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

French modern metal force Revnoir return with their most ambitious release to date; ‘Alchemised’ ft. Carpenter Brut, an explosive new single that fuses crushing metalcore, industrial intensity, and an unforgettable chorus destined to stay lodged in listeners’ minds long after the final note fades.

Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/revnoir

Elevated by a highly anticipated feature from internationally acclaimed synthwave and dark electronic pioneer Carpenter Brut, ‘Alchemised’ blurs the boundaries between metal, industrial music, and cinematic storytelling. Massive riffs collide with pulsating electronic textures, fractured rhythms, and hypnotic melodies, creating a track that feels equally at home on festival main stages and in neon-lit underground clubs. Lyrically, ‘Alchemised’ explores obsession, temptation, and transformation. Set against a venom-lit backdrop of desire and destruction, the song follows two souls caught in a toxic chemistry they cannot escape, drawn together by their flaws, their sins, and their inevitable downfall. Revnoir channel this emotional chaos into a cathartic anthem, balancing raw aggression with haunting vulnerability. The release is accompanied by a cinematic music video that expands the song’s dark universe through striking visuals, immersive storytelling, and a dystopian aesthetic that perfectly mirrors the track’s intoxicating atmosphere.

ABORYM Reveal Guest Musicians for New Album “Metachaos”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 14, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Aborym. Leave a comment

Industrial extreme metal pioneers ABORYM unveil the first details surrounding their forthcoming studio album “Metachaos”, now officially completed and mixed.

For this new chapter, the band assembled a formidable cast of guest musicians and long-time allies, each contributing to expand the sonic violence, claustrophobic atmosphere and experimental spirit that have always defined the ABORYM universe.

The guest line-up featured on “Metachaos” includes:

  • Patrick Mameli – founder, vocalist and guitarist of legendary Dutch technical death metal innovators Pestilence.
  • Chris Cannella – former Deicide guitarist and current member of Malevolent Creation, Autumn’s End and Bloodmoon Ritual, bringing his unmistakable destructive guitar approach to the album.
  • Tommy Talamanca – Italian guitar virtuoso, keyboardist, producer and sound engineer, internationally known for his work with cult progressivedeath metal act Sadist.
  • Noralf Venås – acclaimed guitarist of Norwegian extreme metal force Helheim, formerly active in Syrach and War Pigs.
  • Tapio Wilska – iconic former vocalist of Finntroll and current member of Survivors Zero and Sörnäinen, lending his unmistakable voice to the sonic chaos.
  • “Metachaos” will also feature a special collaboration with Brisen (ex-Dungeon), among the pioneers of the Italian black metal underground during the early ’90s.

“ABORYM has always been about contamination, collision and chaos,” comment the band. “The musicians involved in ‘Metachaos’ are not just guests – they are artists and friends who helped us push the album into darker, harsher and more unpredictable territories.”

Conceived as a ferocious return to the industrial extreme metal spirit of “With No Human Intervention”, “Generator”, “Kali Yuga Bizarre” and “Fire Walk With Us”, “Metachaos” promises to be one of the most violent, disturbing and uncompromising records in ABORYM’s history.

Prepare to face something that will hurt you.
