As the curtain falls on an extraordinary career spanning more than four decades, SEPULTURA are preparing to close their final chapter at the end of this year. With over 40 years of band history, 14 gold records, and performances across more than 80 countries, SEPULTURA stand as Brazil’s uncompromising emissary to the global stage and one of today’s most influential metal bands.

Currently bringing their pioneering sound to audiences worldwide on the ‘Celebrating Life Through Death‘ farewell tour, the question has arisen: how should SEPULTURA mark the end of such a monumental journey? The answer came naturally: By capturing a final creative moment and preserving it for posterity.

Today, SEPULTURA have released their final recorded music, The Cloud of Unknowing EP, available today via Nuclear Blast Records.

Vocalist Derrick Green stated about the album’s focus track ‘All Souls Rising‘:

“The core idea for the track was inspired by a book by Madison Smartt Bell about the slave rebellion in 1780’s Haiti. On a broader level, it speaks to what’s happening in society today – how much can be changed when we come together beyond race, religion, and politics. It’s also about the changes we can make within ourselves.”

BETH HART to Release Special Digital Deluxe Edition of “You Still Got Me”, Out June 17th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 26, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BETH HART. Leave a comment

The Grammy-nominated US powerhouse singer-songwriter Beth Hart extends an iconic chapter, announcing a special digital deluxe edition of her acclaimed 2024 album, You Still Got Me – set for release on 17 June via Provogue. Hart will also be sweeping across Europe, playing shows from May to July and returning again in November. A September tour of the U.S.A. will also soon be announced.

Reinvigorating the record, the deluxe edition unlocks six tracks that were only previously available on a limited-edition box set, beginning with the jazzy blues sizzler, ‘Mean Ole Man Of Mine’.

“Mean Ole Man Of Mine” tells the story of a girl drawn to a wild, larger-than-life man—someone rough, unpredictable, and unapologetically bold. He wears a cattail for a tie, not because of fashion, but because he just ripped the tail right off. She wants a man that’s blowing people away in the alleyway – a real freakin’ pimp.

The sultry groove of “Stuff For You” offers another slice of Beth Hart magic. The deluxe edition turns up the heat with extended versions of “Savior With A Razor,” featuring the unmistakable guitar firepower of Slash of Guns N’ Roses, along with “Wonderful World,” “Wanna Be Big Bad Johnny Cash,” and “Don’t Call The Police.”

The original album made a powerful global impact, storming the charts at #1 on the US Billboard Blues Album chart, #1 on the UK Jazz & Blues chart, and Top 10 across Europe. With over 11 million streams worldwide, it stands as a testament to Hart’s magnetic artistry and enduring connection with audiences.

Adding to the excitement, Hart will embark on a tour performing 39 shows across the UK, Germany, Italy, Greece, Sweden and beyond—bringing her electrifying, soul-baring live performances to stages across the continent.

You Still Got Me, exemplifies her ability to seamlessly navigate across genres, breaking boundaries between blues, rock, and Americana. There were a number of singles from the original release; from the gritty, high-energy rocker ‘Savior With A Razor,’ featuring Guns N’ Roses’ Slash, to the tender ballad ‘Wonderful World,’ inspired by her family. ‘Big Bad Johnny Cash’ track draws on the signature sound of Cash’s most iconic hits, blending Hart’s rich vocals with a steady, hypnotic groove that channels his rebellious spirit and the uplifting ‘Little Heartbreak Girl’ further highlights her knack for crafting empowering anthems that resonate with audiences.

If you have ever seen Beth Hart live or immersed yourself in her music, you know she pours every ounce of herself into her songs. Firebrands inspire; it’s what attracts people to them. We all have our “Me” when she sings “You still got me” – a loved one, a friend, a pet, a place, a memory, a song. Beth Hart continues to inspire.

DRUDKH Premiere New EP ‘Thaw’, Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 26, 2026

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

Drudkh have premiered Thaw with Black Metal Promotion. This new EP from the Ukrainian atmospheric black metal band is a companion to their latest full-length album Shadowplay.

“For those who couldn’t get enough of Shadowplay, Thaw will also be a treat”, Sputnik Music writes. “Drudkh has delivered another emotional and highly atmospheric release”.

Thaw was released on April 24, 2026 on Season of Mist. Order here: https://orcd.co/drudkhthaw

Rather than opening a new chapter, Thaw lingers in the atmosphere of Shadowplay. The three songs on this EP inhabit the fragile interval between stillness and movement, where change begins almost imperceptibly beneath a frozen surface. Themes of memory, liminality, and inner exile surface without emphasis or resolution. The music unfolds slowly across suspended melodies and unresolved structures.

Tracklist:

Memory (07:07)
Somewhere, Sometime (05:51)
A Moment in Eternity (07:02)
Full runtime: 20:10

Born from the whispering winds and the brooding landscapes of Ukraine, a realm steeped in history and draped in the enigma of folklore, emerges DRUDKH – a beacon of profound expression in the vast expanse of black metal. In their essence, DRUDKH are the custodians of a narrative, combining atmospheric and pagan influences into a mesmerizing portrayal of their homeland’s soul. Their journey is one of introspection, seeking to create music that evoke a profound emotional resonance that stirs the depths of the human experience.

With the unfolding of Shadow Play, their latest album, DRUDKH invites the listener into a realm where the boundaries between the corporeal and the ethereal blur. This album emerges as an ode to the contrasting forces that shape existence: light against shadow, silence against storm, ephemeral beauty against the decay of oblivion. A story untold, exploring themes of exile, the cycle of life and death, and the perpetual yearning for a return to origins—both personal and collective.

Through Shadow Play, DRUDKH transcends the conventional expectations of music, engaging in a dialogue that is both personal and universal. They challenge us to confront our own shadows, to find beauty in desolation, and to appreciate the intricate dance of light and darkness that defines our existence. This album is another chapter in DRUDKH’s storied discography – it represents an invigorated exploration into the myriad facets of human emotion, the relentless pursuit of truth, and the undying passion for unearthing the hidden threads that connect us to the past.

In the wake of Shadow Play, DRUDKH extend this same creative breath with Thaw, a three-track EP recorded during the album’s sessions and conceived within the same emotional horizon. Rather than opening a new chapter, it lingers within the existing one, offering a quieter, more concentrated meditation on transition and inner exile. If the album traced the tension between shadow and illumination, Thaw inhabits the fragile interval between stillness and movement, where change begins almost imperceptibly beneath a frozen surface. In doing so, it reinforces the coherence of this period in DRUDKH’s work, deepening its atmosphere and affirming continuity over rupture.

DRUDKH continues to illuminate the path for those who dare to wander, to question, and to dream.

CORELLA Announce New Album “A Beautiful World To Lose”, Out September 18th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 26, 2026

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

CORELLA are excited to announce their second album, ‘A Beautiful World To Lose,’ set for release on September 18th via FLG. To mark the announcement, the rapidly rising Manchester band has also released their brand new single “Simple Life.”

“Simple Life” is a propulsive indie anthem celebrating the joys of everyday living. Coming armed with an intoxicating bounce and an inescapable chorus, “Simple Life” is a standout feel-good track from the forthcoming album. In its complete form, the album takes a piercing glare into the current state of the world alongside a deep look into human emotion and being.

The single is accompanied by a brilliant video depicting an ancient caveman venturing into present-day Manchester, propelled by the bop of “Simple Life” as he stumbles across the joys of the weekend. He indulges in ice creams, sinks pints in the pub, while also sharing his own method of release by introducing some weekend ramblers to a mind-expanding psychedelic experience.

“Simple Life” follows the release of lead single and album opener “Rewire,” a blistering rock track that tore out the blocks in March and tapped into the political discontent affecting both sides of the Atlantic.

Regarding “Simple Life,” frontman and guitarist Joel Smith comments:

“We really leaned into the nostalgic indie feel with this track. Life moves fast, and in the chaos of it all, we sometimes miss the simple pleasures. It’s the small things in life that are the most important, and that’s what this song is a reminder of. We’re really excited to play this live, and we think it’s going to be a fan favourite.”

Stream and listen to the single here: https://ffm.to/corella-simplelife

Produced by Grammy-winning Jason Perry (The Molotovs, McFly, Don Broco), ‘A Beautiful World To Lose’ finds CORELLA performing with a new ferocity and sense of purpose. They have taken their formative indie influences and honed them into something new and razor-sharp. Their latest circuitry buzzes with a new energy and darker sound, like lightning in a bottle; this Northern powerhouse is ready to explode.

Regarding the album, Joel says:

“It definitely sounds fiercer than the last one, and a lot has happened since we released our first album. We’re writing more for ourselves this time, but we also hope there’s plenty that listeners will be able to relate to. These lyrics have more grit to them, more heart, and we knew we had to be willing to make ourselves more vulnerable.”

Bassist Ben Henderson notes the darker undertone to this record, in its themes of loss, heartbreak, and disillusionment:

“A lot of the songs touch heavier and more aggressive, while others lean into that vulnerability we were reaching for. It’s been a huge learning curve, but I definitely feel like we got there.”

Take “What’s The Use,” a cathartic track for a generation’s frustration and apathy over the things that are out of their control, while “Wolf” showcases a confident swagger but, behind closed doors, is full of insecurities.

“Thunder Strike,” written with Kieran Shudall of Circa Waves, is a menacing track highlighting the maelstrom of anxiety, adrenaline, fear, and excitement that plagues bands as they chase success. A mindset which permeates further on a wider scale on the searing “Bitter End” representing, “that restless drive to chase something bigger, exploring the highs, chaos, and obsession that come with wanting more out of life,” as Joel says.

The band is at their most vulnerable on the likes of “Lost A Friend” and “All I Want,” with the tracks dissecting grief and loss, the difficulty of letting go, the memories that stay with you, and learning to carry someone’s absence without losing yourself along the way.

“It’s easy to feel like the odds are stacked against you, like the fight is never over,” Joel says. “But we really believe that hard work pays off, provided you’ve got each other’s backs. We definitely tapped into that on ‘A Beautiful World To Lose,’ the fight is there. You’ve got to keep going.”

A Beautiful World To Lose’ Track List:

Rewire
What’s The Use
Lost A Friend
Simple Life
Bitter End
All I Want
Jump Scare
Wolf
Thunder Strike
Note To Self

CORELLA started their fight with all guns blazing in 2024 with the release of their debut album ‘Once Upon A Weekend,’ an album that smashed the Top 5 of the Independent Breakers Chart and the Top 20 of the Album Sales, Physical, and Vinyl charts.

With a wealth of support for the band coming across Radio 1, Radio X and BBC Introducing, while also clocking up over 70 million streams since the release of the debut album, CORELLA have ignited a following which has led to numerous capacity headline tours across the UK and Europe, main stage performances at festivals including Reading & Leeds, while also touring with the likes of Kaiser Chiefs, Pale Waves, Circa Waves and The Wombats.

CORELLA are now thrumming with their early firecracker energy, yet channelling this into something far more potent as they land their knockout blow with ‘A Beautiful World To Lose’ in 2026.

AVALAND Announce New Album “Chemical Poetry”, New Single + Lyric Video ‘Destiny Calls’ Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 26, 2026

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

Imagine stepping into a realm where steel strings clash like swords and choirs rise as powerful as ancient spells. French metal magicians AVALAND create entire sagas with their music, where every song tells a new story. Returning to their high-fantasy realm of heroes, the band once again merges power metal heat with cinematic metal opera flair for the release of their upcoming third studio album “Chemical Poetry” (release date: October 30) via Storytium SAS.

AVALAND’s brand new single “Destiny Calls” (out: April 24) is a track for every fan of narrative power metal and marks the real beginning of the adventure of the album, taking listeners straight into the story. The God of Time senses a disturbance around a young alchemist – a great destiny is stirring within him, yet he must first endure the trials that will temper his mastery of magic and alchemy. As his fate begins to unfold, a sorceress crosses his path, and soon their lives start orbiting one another, while this encounter bends the very threads of time.

AVALAND comments: “‘Destiny Calls’ rises as a theatrical anthem forged in the grand tradition of power metal (echoing the spirit of Angra, Helloween, Sonata Arctica, etc.). Sharp, heavy riffing collides with sweeping orchestrations and mind‑bending melodies, merging into a true hymnic quest. This new single also welcomes Madie (Ex-Nightmare, Faith In Agony) as the first guest of the era, while Jeff Kanji delivers all lyrics and vocal lines crafted upon Adrien’s compositions — once again elevated by the virtuosity of Lucas, Camille, and Léo. The call has been made. Will you step forward and embrace destiny?”

Stream and order the single: https://www.fanbase.to/sOguiCPU

Every AVALAND album is a new chapter in an original fantasy chronicle filled with spellbound battles, heroic destinies, and soaring melodies that hit as hard as a warhammer and shimmer like arcane fire. This isn’t just an album cycle – it’s a living legend. After their debut “Theater Of Sorcery” (2021), the second full-length “The Legend Of The Storyteller” (2023), and their live album “The Legend Comes Alive” (2025), the band has brought renowned producer Joost van den Broek (Epica, Powerwolf, Sabaton, Ayreon, Blind Guardian) on board for their new album “Chemical Poetry”. “Working on this album with Joost, we could finally define precisely what AVALAND’s sound is, searching for something very organic, warm, thrilling, but with a more modern approach. He really pushed us to express what AVALAND is through our music, freeing us from some imaginary constraints”, explains singer Adrien.

With the release of “Chemical Poetry”, the band opens the next chapter (Chapter 4) of their ongoing opus, delivering a record designed to be experienced as an immersive epic adventure. Towering riffs strike like critical hits, choirs and orchestral arrangements set the battlefield, and storytelling remains at the heart of the experience. AVALAND doesn’t just soundtrack an adventure – they invite listeners to step deeper into a world where metal and myth evolve together.

ABOUT AVALAND

Born in 2020 from the ambition to be more than a band, AVALAND was conceived as a fully immersive, theatrical live experience. Drawing inspiration from acts such as The Alan Parsons Project, Avantasia, Winger, and Savatage – and fueled by a deep love for 80s hard rock – AVALAND blend orchestral arrangements and metal opera storytelling with dynamic rock and power metal. Adrien G. Gzagg and Jeff Kanji lead the charge with twin male lead vocals forged from steel and fire, while Lucas Martinez shoots his barrage of blazing guitar riffs into the foundation of Camille Souffron’s ferocious bass lines and Léo Mouchonay’s war drums that command the thunder and drive the rhythm. On stage, the band features between two and five voices from within as well as by varying guests, transforming each performance into a truly magical journey.

Inspired by tabletop RPGs and brought to life through monthly lore chapters published on World Anvil, the band invites listeners to follow the ongoing saga of AVALAND that unfolds across albums, songs, and story fragments – where the music is only the beginning. The lore of AVALAND is available on World Anvil, with a new fragment being revealed every month. As RPG storymasters or players, fans can draw from the AVALAND lore and have the fitting soundtrack at the same time.
