Nearing the release of their third album, Night is Calling, rising modern metal stars DOMINUM are sharing the title track as another single. “Night is Calling” combines thunderous riffs, cinematic atmosphere, and another massive sing-along hook to pull listeners into the captivating world of Dr. Dead. The dark yet uplifting track features a powerful guest appearance from Marina La Torraca of Battle Beast, giving DOMINUM’s whizkid catalog another highlight. Theatrics, horror aesthetics, and area-ready choruses make for another brilliant release.

With their sophomore studio album, The Dead Don’t Die (2024), DOMINUM, led by mastermind and singer Felix Heldt—better known as Dr. Dead—stormed into the top 10 of the German charts. Together with his zombies, Tommy Kemp (guitars), Patient 0 (bass), and Victor Hilltop (drums)—DOMINUM has already taken this undead spectacle to major stages across Europe. Touring alongside icons such as Bruce Dickinson, Avantasia, Battle Beast, and Peyton Parrish, the band has proven its strength both at major festivals and during their own headline shows.

Night is Calling releases this Friday, July 3rd, 2026, via Napalm Records. DOMINUM are playing album release show at Rockharz Festival and in Wacken.

Dr. Dead comments on “Night is Calling”:        
“I can do what I want. But I cannot want what I want. The story of my life. Night is calling. Always. It creeps in softly at first, like a whisper you almost don’t notice. Then it wraps itself around your thoughts – pulling, tempting, seducing. A darkness that feels familiar, that feels like home… and yet, it corrodes.
I try to resist. I try to fight. I always do. But every shadow, every quiet hour, every lonely moment… it reminds me that I am never truly free. Night is calling. And I answer, again and again.
Dr. Dead”

DOMINUM open the next chapter of their dark, theatrical universe with their new full-length Night Is Calling. With their bombastic sound and outstanding stage presence, the band continues its rapid ascent on the international metal scene, without losing sight of its strengths: theatrical, melodic, and uncompromising modern metal—driven by the dark charisma of Dr. Dead and his zombies. One thing is certain: the Living Dead Squad continues to grow.
 
Night Is Calling is now available for pre-order, with selected formats including the bonus album Live at Wacken 2025.
 
Dr. Dead on Night is Calling:    
“’They grow up so fast.’ – Ugh. It makes me sick. And now I feel it myself: my zombies have grown up. Our creation… has grown up too. But unlike the pitiful rest, we don’t mourn our childhood. No. We revel in who we are. Being a child, being an adult – what does that even mean? Anyway – the world lies at our feet, and we can do whatever we damn well please.
Believe me from firsthand experience: an army of zombies makes everything a hell of a lot easier… and way more fun with every bit of trouble getting the punch it deserves. We have the power to reshape our world. And oh, we do. ‘Night is Calling’ – this is our outlet.
Stronger melodies, heavier riffs, sharper, unflinching lyrics – honesty as our deadliest weapon. We are who we are. And you… you’re in this whether you like it or not. The undead are on the march, more relentless than ever. Join us – immediately, willingly… or a little later when we come to your neighborhood.
Either way… we’ll be seeing you.
Dr. Dead”

BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE Drop First Advance Single ‘Departure’ & Details of New Album “In Between Strides”

BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE drop the first advance single, ‘Departure‘, from their fourth album “In Between Strides“. The forthcoming new full-length by the German shoegaze rockers has been slated for release on September 18, 2026, via Magnetic Eye Records. 

Pre-orders are available HERE

BEES MADE HONEY comment: “‘Departure’ was the first song that we wrote for ‘In Between Strides’“, frontman Simon Weinrich reveals. “It was by far the hardest song to write for this record. It exemplifies our struggle of finding out where to go next after ‘Aion’. It was clear from the start that we wanted to go into a more melodic direction and more straightforward songs compared to our previous album. The second part of the song started as a separate composition, but we added it later since it is a nice conclusion of the first part. Our first demo of the second part was recorded at a studio near Passau. This is where the inclusion of a Fender Rhodes piano played through our regular guitar-setup stems from. It began as an experiment and was later re-recorded at Milberg Studios. Lyrically, ‘Departure’ portrays the first step and point of departure for our journey beyond our old ways of working. We recorded each song without knowing what the next one was going to sound like.“

Tracklist:
1. Departure
2. Respite
3. Clutching at Straws
4. Elisa
5. Return, Precipice

When German four-piece BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE began to find their bearings on where to go next from the success of their previous full-length, “Aion” (2023), the core idea for the fourth album, “In Between Strides”, was to take a more melodic approach. All else, they would leave to the creative process and somewhat to chance.

Recording one song at a time without knowing what the next would sound like, the track ‘Elisa’ was the first step forward and became the binding link between the previous and new albums. ‘Elisa’ came into being as a jam captured on the last day of recording during the “Aion” sessions, which was later heavily condensed and augmented with added instrumentation to create more structure and depth.

BEES MADE HONEY recorded every other song on “In Between Strides” in various settings that were available to them at the time of creation: a cavernous cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, their rehearsal space, even returning to the studio where their first album “Medicine” was tracked.

Through this spontaneous and shifting approach, BEES MADE HONEY began to move texturally and stylistically from ambient and drone toward shoegaze along with more acoustic elements. According to their original plan, “In Between Strides” stepped into more melodic territory, with each song representing a different aspect of the band’s musical vocabulary.

Lyrically, “In Between Strides” portrays a journey of uncertain outcomes, a departure, and a search for something not yet defined. Although this mirrors the experience of BEES MADE HONEY in finding new creative paths and ways of expression, the lyrics paint a broader picture that is not limited to the German’s personal experiences or life-circumstances.

BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE originate from the Swabian capital and German city of Stuttgart. All four members grew up together, eventually forming the band in 2014. Their musical template of ambient psychedelic doom was established with the debut album “Medicine” in 2017, and their sound has continued to evolve ever since.

With their sophomore full-length “Grandmother” (2019), their sonic scope expanded through lower tunings, densely layered effects, faster passages, and harsher vocals. The Swabians began performing live, both at home and abroad, in front of continuously growing audiences. This development physically manifested in the recording and release of “Harvestmen (live)” in 2022.

BEES MADE HONEY took a leap forward with third full-length “Aion”, which was widely praised by audiences and critics alike. This album features spacious, dynamic compositions that move from drifting tranquility to raging power in a constant tidal movement of spaced-out guitars, pounding basslines, and dripping drum fills. 

While “Aion” easily transcended BEES MADE HONEY‘s psychedelic doom label into something deeper and more resonant, “In Between Strides” roams faster and further. 

With “In Between Strides”, BEES MADE HONEY have turned rage into reflection by developing a more organic and spontaneous approach to their songs, opening up wide spaces and letting the melodies flow freely. This musical honey tastes simply delicious.

Finnish heavy metal band Crimson Day has released the official lyric video for “Dark Dimension,” the title track from the band’s album of the same name, out now via Wormholedeath.

Blending powerful melodies, crushing riffs, and an atmospheric edge, “Dark Dimension” explores the desire to break free from emotional struggles and emerge transformed.

Crimson Day on the track:

“The story of Dark Dimension can be understood in multiple ways. It’s a story where you wish to leave something behind by either ending it all or starting fresh in a whole other mental dimension. Whether it is deep depression, some things you’re going through, or that you’re just feeling sick of it all, Dark Dimension is a place you can escape from the real world to reinvent yourself and never return the same.

But if you’re not up for a mental ride, you can just imagine taking an endless ride to the galaxy and beyond. We hope that every listener can find their own perspective on how to relate to this song. “

Fans can also discover more of Crimson Day’s work through the band’s previous video releases:

About Crimson Day

Founded in 2013 in Tampere, Crimson Day has spent over a decade forging their own lane within the heavy metal landscape, blending the timeless power of classic heavy metal with a broad sweep of genre influences, wrapped in dark intensity, high-octane energy, and sharp, soaring melody.

The band’s story began with a self-titled EP in 2013, followed by their debut full-length Order of the Shadows (2015). They expanded their sonic vision on At the Mountains of Madness (2018) before returning with the bold, self-titled Crimson Day in 2023. A pivotal lineup shift in 2020 introduced new frontwoman Milka Uusitalo, ushering in a reinvigorated era marked by standout singles including “Raising the Fury” and “Black as the Heavens Above,” and bold, genre-defying covers of “Immigrant Song,” “Holding Out for a Hero,” and “Objection (Tango)” that further demonstrated the band’s dynamic range.

Now, with Dark Dimension on the horizon, Crimson Day is stepping into their most ambitious chapter yet.

With over 100 live shows across Finland and Europe, sharing stages with Sonata Arctica, Turmion Kätilöt, Turisas, Reckless Love, and Korpiklaani, and international performances spanning the Baltics, Germany, and Sweden, the band has built a reputation as a formidable live force. Their music has earned global radio airplay, and their YouTube catalog has surpassed 100,000 views.

OUTSHINE Return with Desolate Isolation in New ‘Emptiness Inside’ Music Video

The visual architecture of Swedish dark alternative metal has reached a cinematic milestone with the premiere of the new music video for “Emptiness Inside” by Gothenburg veterans Outshine. Directed by the acclaimed visionary Kenny Boufadene at Studio Meltdown in Uddebo, Sweden, the video serves as a monumental turning point in the band’s narrative legacy. This release marks the third installment in an interconnected four-part visual saga, expanding upon the dark, prophetic themes established in their previous singles. Boufadene, renowned for his exceptional visual work with prominent rock and metal acts like Ice Age, Manimal, and We Are The Castalyst, brings a bleak yet striking aesthetic to life, perfectly matching the band’s signature melancholic atmosphere. Truthsayer, was recently released on June 26, 2026 via rock and metal record label Eclipse Records.

The narrative thrust of the video follows the ongoing journey of Reverend Boman, an enigmatic character who first emerged during the band’s previous album cycle. As a direct continuation of the storylines established in the promotional clips for the singles Enough and You Are Not Alone, the plot serves as an allegory for modern societal fractures. The storyline delves deeply into the profound isolation and psychological toll experienced by ordinary individuals when global forces employ divide-and-conquer tactics. According to founding vocalist Jimmy Boman, the visual representation captures the precise moment where the common man balances on the brink of absolute madness. Ultimately, the video transforms the viewer from a passive observer into an active participant in the band’s message of global equity. By the climax of the futuristic timeline, the narrative makes it clear that the awakening cannot be stopped, inviting the audience to join the fold. Outshine demonstrates that strength lies purely in numbers, suggesting that everyone who stands against the current societal division is actively becoming a “Truthsayer”.

The brilliant new dark alternative metal album from Outshine titled Truthsayer has something for every rock and metal fan, including rich guitar work, haunting keys, a powerful back beat, and mesmerizing vocals. Musically, the feel is wonderfully diverse, with parts and parcels working together to craft a vision both dark and distinct, yet hopeful. The keys are eerie and foreboding, leading us down shadowed corridors with hypnotic vocal harmonies that often split into octaves, as if to show contrasting views of the world existing atop each other like fog on cobblestone and the sun on the sea. Lyrically, the band blasts the elite, biased media and totalitarianism, depicting a world distorted with poison as common people are kept in a metaphorical asylum of sorts, locked in their rooms, screaming silently from behind sound-proofed glass. It puts us slightly off balance, as these messages of doom are superimposed on music with such a chunk and satisfying groove vibe. In the end, the band tells us that shadows recede. Hell turns to hope. Night ends with dawn, and the ashes of a scorched earth can produce an awesome rising phoenix. This band is for real, and Truthsayer is nothing less than a magnificent megaphone. Altogether, the album contains nine tracks, including standouts like “Enough” “You Are Not Alone,” and “Emptiness Inside.” The album artwork, created by Jimmy Boman, mirrors the album’s dark, yet hopeful mood. The album was recently released on June 26, 2026 via Eclipse Records.
