Finland’s melodic dark metal masters SOULFALLEN return after 13 years of silence with a new single ’Thousandfold’. The new song is from their long-awaited upcoming fourth album, set to be released next year.

”After so many years we wanted our first single to scream ’we are still very much alive’, so we chose one of the most aggressive songs from the new album. It bears the trademark dark atmosphere and beautiful melodies of SOULFALLEN yet blended this time with some cool new flavours and fierce blastbeats. The song is about overcoming extreme hardships with resilience and it can be seen as a metaphor of the new album, years in the making,” explains vocalist-songwriter Kai Leikola.

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music etc.): https://push.fm/fl/soulfallen-thousandfold

After three critically acclaimed albums, progressive metal band AEONS returns with the band’s most challenging and accomplished recording yet; The single-track, 23 minute-long monster that is “6EQUJ5”.

–Spotify: https://bit.ly/AEONS6equj5Spotify
–Apple music: https://apple.co/4pn10gM

The band known for their complex, heavy-prog, laden with brutal grooves and haunting atmospheric melodies takes bold new steps with this release. This EP showcasing everything the band is known for, but also expanding that very notion along the way.

“AEONS are very proud to release our most ambitious project yet – a whole EP of one epic track dedicated to a single proposition : “What if we are not alone in this endless emptiness? ” We wanted to pursue a fresh approach to this philosophy and look at what that might mean for our cultures, our beliefs, our sense of self and ultimately our place in the universe. We wanted to explore as many musical genres as possible to answer this question, each with their own atmosphere to tell a story of our journey of discovery, and start a commentary on who we are, what we can achieve together and how with a little common ground we can become more than we ever were.“

Rock/metal icon ROB ZOMBIE has revealed the latest single, ‘Heathen Days,’ from his highly-anticipated upcoming album, The Great Satan, due out February 27th from Nuclear Blast Records.

Accompanied by a video directed by Zombie, ‘Heathen Days’ is a callback to his earlier sound of furious, groove laden guitar riffs as he lyrically invokes the ungodly days when chaos and war were constantly at your back.

Following the success of his Top 10 charting record The Lunar Injection Kool Aid Eclipse Conspiracy (2021), Zombie is back with his 8th album, The Great Satan, revisiting his early Hellbilly roots for a slaughterhouse of anthemic punk infused heavy rock/metal.

The circle is closing. Today, THE HALO EFFECT unveils the fifth and final song from their highly anticipated cover EP We Are Shadows, released today. Each member of the band selected a personal favorite and classic track to reinterpret, and this last choice comes from drummer Daniel Svensson.

Svensson’s pick is a heartfelt tribute to Gothenburg legends Broder Daniel – their 2003 alternative pop anthem ‘Shoreline’.

Needless to say, THE HALO EFFECT have made the song entirely their own, delivering a powerful and emotional rendition where frontman Mikael Stanne once again shines, seamlessly blending clean vocals with his unmistakable growls.

Reflecting on his choice, Daniel Svensson comments:
“Broder Daniel were one of the bands that created the Gothenburg indie-pop scene in the late ’90s. There are several parallels to the ‘Gothenburg Sound’ — both scenes were driven by a strong DIY ethos and comradeship while gathering international attention.”
