DAILY INSANITY Return with First New Single in Four Years ‘Back To The Front’

Germany’s ferocious metal war machine Daily Insanity have risen from the ashes with a thunderous return. Their brand new single “Back To The Front” is out now, and marks the band’s first new release since 2022.

The new track is fronted by none other than Yakir Shochat, the powerhouse vocalist of Israeli thrash metallers Hammercult. His raw and hostile voice pushes the song straight into attack mode, adding a sharp edge that cuts through every riff and every beat.

Built on tight, razor-edged riffing and pounding drums, the song moves relentlessly forward with no room to breathe. There is no finesse and no restraint here – only force, momentum and the refusal to step back. No nostalgia, no trends – just metal played hard and without compromise!

“Back To The Front” is out now on all major streaming platforms.

Brutal Planet Records Announce Remastered Releases of SIX FEET UNDER Albums “Unburied” + “Bringer Of Blood” on CD & Vinyl

Brutal Planet Records drags Six Feet Under Unburied and Bringer of Blood from obscurity with their first fully distributed vinyl editions. Unburied is pressed on Opaque Turquoise Vinyl and on CD. These nine unreleased tracks—grim outtakes from the Undead, Unborn, and Torment sessions—capture Six Feet Under in their most visceral and unrefined state. As Chris Barnes noted: “I always felt like these tracks were excellent Six Feet Under material. Real raw and in their earliest form.” 

Previously available only as a flimsy, low-quality cardboard-sleeve promo that barely surfaced in the collector world, Unburied has long been considered nearly impossible to obtain. This Brutal Planet Records edition finally gives these unearthed horrors a proper home in a jewel case with a 12-page lyric booklet, remastered by Rob Colwell and officially welcomed into the Metal Icon Series.

Brutal Planet Records resurrects the album with its first worldwide retail vinyl release, pressed on Opaque Turquoise Vinyl and mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell. Housed in a traditional jacket with a 12×12 lyric insert, this edition finally gives Unburied the high-quality physical treatment fans have been waiting for. Only 500 LPs are being pressed. When they’re gone, they’re gone.

The only previous vinyl pressing appeared briefly in Italy as a magazine kiosk bonus. It sold out instantly, was never placed into retail distribution, and is now almost impossible to locate. This Brutal Planet Records edition finally gives Unburied a proper physical home with upgraded sound mastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell, a traditional jacket, and a 12×12 lyric insert.

Brutal Planet Records also brings Bringer of Blood back from the underground, resurrecting one of Six Feet Under’s most savage chapters with its first-ever U.S. vinyl release. Originally unleashed in 2003 and recorded at Morrisound Studios, this album captures the band at peak ferocity—thick, pulsing riffs, grisly atmosphere, and Chris Barnes’ unmistakable guttural roar carving through each track like a bone saw.

SIX FEET UNDER – UNBURIED (Jewel Case CD)

Release Date: Out Now

For years, Unburied was the ghost in the Six Feet Under catalog — originally released digitally in 2018, with only a tiny number of flimsy cardboard-sleeve promo CDs that almost nobody ever found. The nine tracks on this album were pulled from the Undead, Unborn, and Torment sessions, and as Chris Barnes himself has said: “I always felt like these tracks were excellent Six Feet Under material. Real raw and in their earliest form.”

Key Features & Collector Details:

  • First-ever real CD distribution of Unburied
  • Jewel case CD with 12-page lyrics insert booklet
  • Nine previously unreleased tracks
  • Material sourced from the Undead, Unborn, and Torment sessions
  • Remastered by Rob Colwell
  • Part of the elite Metal Icon Series on Brutal Planet Records

SIX FEET UNDER – UNBURIED (Opaque Turquoise Vinyl)
Release Date: February 15, 2026

One of the rarest items in the SFU universe is the old Italian kiosk-only vinyl pressing of Unburied. It was never distributed, vanished instantly, and has been almost impossible to locate since the day it appeared.

Key Features & Collector Details:

  • First-ever worldwide retail vinyl release of Unburied
  • Nine previously unreleased tracks
  • Traditional jacket with 12×12 lyrics insert
  • Pressed on Opaque Turquoise Vinyl

SIX FEET UNDER – BRINGER OF BLOOD (Blood Red Vinyl)
Release Date: February 15, 2026

Originally released in 2003 and recorded at Morrisound Studios in Tampa, Bringer of Blood was only ever pressed on vinyl once — in Germany over 20 years ago — and has been out of print ever since. This new Brutal Planet edition is the first U.S. vinyl release and is pressed on Blood Red Vinyl as part of the Metal Icon Series.

Remastered by Rob Colwell and packaged with a 12×12 full-color insert, Bringer of Blood captures Six Feet Under at peak ferocity. If you love the classic groove-driven heaviness of Haunted and Warpath, this album is absolutely essential.

Highlights include:
“Amerika the Brutal”
“One Shot One Kill”
“Bringer of Blood”
“Blind and Gagged”
“Claustrophobic”
“Escape from the Grave”

From the blunt-force violence of “Amerika the Brutal” to the slow, suffocating crawl of the title track, Bringer of Blood drags listeners deep into the horror-laced world that defined Six Feet Under’s early reign. Long out of print and previously pressed only in Germany, this Brutal Planet Records edition finally does the album justice, pressed on Blood Red Vinyl, newly remastered, and limited to 500 copies.

Key Features & Collector Details:

  • First-ever U.S. vinyl release of Bringer of Blood (2003).
  • Pressed on Blood Red Vinyl — a collector-exclusive color.

Live Report: John Corabi & Friends at Basement East, Nashville, Tn. 12/30/2025

Live report + photo by Erik Hernandez

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past 30 plus years, you’ve heard the name John Corabi. From his days with The Scream, Motley Crue, Union, The Dead Daisies, and his solo career, Corabi has steadily remained relevant within the Rock n Roll community for decades. Hell bent on keeping authentic Rock n Roll music alive, with no signs of slowing down.

On December 30, 2025, at the Basement East in Nashville Tennessee, Corabi once again proved that he has plenty of gas in the tank for yet another road trip. Teamed up with Rock n Roll greats Troy Lucketta, Paul Taylor, Michael Devin, Jeremy Asbrock and Marti Frederickson and collectively known as John Corabi & Friends, the band took to the stage to debut new songs and play for the hometown crowd.

The vibe backstage was electric. Band members were pacing with instruments in hand just before the show. “Our first gig together,” said Frederickson. “I know man” said Taylor, smiling. “We’ve been on the road a lot together over the years playing in different bands, but this is our first time together.” “First one, gents, first one of many,” said Corabi. All were smiling and you could feel the bond between them, it was like watching something great happening for the first time.

The crowd was ready, cheers and screams called out as the band took to the stage. The “Beast” as the venue is known, was packed, and it was finally time to see what these 6 guys had in store for the world. I was present during soundcheck, so I knew it was going to be an amazing show, but when those first chords were struck and the drums beating the rhythm, it was like a call to arms and the crowd loved it.
The new music takes me back to a simpler time. A time when Rock n Roll meant something more than just a few second clip on social media. Real music, with very real meaning. It was as I often imagine how it must have been to have heard the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith play LIVE for the first time back in the day.

The new single “New Day” opened the set and the crowd danced and sang along. It signaled that people had paid attention and been listening to the track. Released two weeks ago and already with 45 thousand views on You Tube, and over 3 million streams on Spotify, it’s apparent that despite what many believe, Rock n Roll is in fact not dead.

Each song played from the new record fit perfectly, like a well-oiled machine. The songs flowed as if they were already old favorites among a hungry crowd. Songs like ‘One More Shot’ and ‘That memory’ Are straight forward Rock n Roll songs that will have you tapping the steering wheel as you drive.

The set also included a re-imagined version of Hooligans Holiday, and for me that song is sacred, so I wasn’t sure how to feel about it at first. By the time the song was finished I was sold. This version is better. Maybe it’s that I’m nearly 54, or maybe, just maybe Corabi’s writing and style is aging like fine wine. Closing the night was an encore featuring the final track on the new record. Sly and The Family Stone’s ‘Everyday People’. While the song has been covered by others, I think it fits nicely with Corabi & Friends.

To go this long and do it your way in the music biz is the thing legends are made of. I give this new band and record nothing short of a 10/10. Corabi & Friends are set to tour overseas in February. You owe it to yourself to go out and see this show.
