India’s SHIVERWOOD SHADE Showcase Their Dark, Cinematic Sound with New Live Video ‘Crawling Back’

India’s cinematic metal powerhouse Shiverwood Shade has dropped a ferocious new live performance video for “Crawling Back”, one of the most volatile and emotionally charged tracks from their debut album “Escaping Darkness”.​
​
A chaotic eruption of down‑tuned nu‑metal riffs, industrial electronics, and raw vocal intensity, “Crawling Back” captures the band at their most unrestrained. The song dives into the frustration of personal relapse, those moments when old fears and destructive patterns resurface despite progress.
​
The live video amplifies this emotional turbulence, presenting the track with heightened aggression, cinematic tension, and the immersive stage presence that has become the band’s signature.

Following the release of “Escaping Darkness,” Shiverwood Shade has quickly established themselves as one of India’s most compelling modern heavy acts. The album is built around a deeply personal narrative—moving from internal chaos and emotional conflict toward healing, clarity, and hope.

Across ten tracks, the band blends nu‑metal and post‑hardcore riffs, cinematic atmospheres and orchestral pads, dark electronic textures inspired by industrial, synthwave, and EDM.
​
​“Escaping Darkness represents our most personal and ambitious work to date. We wanted listeners to experience a full emotional arc, from darkness and doubt to strength and perseverance,” adds the band.​
​
​
Originally formed in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, in 2013, Shiverwood Shade quickly carved out a reputation across India’s independent circuit, earning major wins at college festivals such as Spring Fest at IIT Kharagpur, IIIT Gwalior, and ITM. After years of creative evolution, the band underwent a dramatic rebirth in 2022, relocating 1,500 kilometres east to Kolkata and rebuilding their lineup from the ground up. This transformation mirrors their shift from early science‑fiction‑inspired material to a mature, emotionally charged fusion of nu metal, alternative Metal, post‑Hardcore, metalcore, and cinematic electronic elements.

Recommended for fans of Linkin Park, Bring Me the Horizon, Story of the Year, Breaking Benjamin, and Architects, Shiverwood Shade’s “Escaping Darkness” (released Dec 26, 2025) is available at the following links:

HATESPHERE to Release New Album “Guillotine” on October 9th, Single for Title Track Out Now

HateSphere has released “Guillotine”, the title track and first single taken from the new album to be released on October 9 by Scarlet Records. 

“Guillotine” dives into the subject of violent justice. It delivers the argument that systematic lawful justice can be unsatisfactory and ineffective and therefore will ignite a sense of vigilantism and a more violent nature affecting moral convictions.

“Guillotine”:

  • 12th studio-album for the undisputed Danish dukes of thrash-death metal;
  • produced, mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen at Antfarm Studio (Heaven Shall Burn, The Haunted, Dark Tranquillity);
  • cover artwork by Mikkel Rützov/Drown Design;
  • 25K followers on Spotify;

FFO: Slayer, At The Gates, The Haunted, Soilwork, Darkane, Heaven Shall Burn;

PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE

“Guillotine” tracklist:

1 Chapter XII
2 Dogma
3 Guillotine
4 Morbid
5 Cleansing
6 Snake Charmer
7 Mouth Filled With Barbed Wire
8 Bottom Feeder
9 Human Scum
10 Heresy

Total running time – 38:43

artwork by Mikkel Rützov/Drown Design

Hand made, old school, real, in-your-face thrash-death metal that will for sure make your head bang until the neck snaps. That´s HateSphere!

“Guillotine” is more dark and atmospherical than the acclaimed 2023 “Hatred Reborn”, but still with all the typical HateSphere trademarks: the aggression, the speed, the melody, and the groove.

The whole record revolves around what defines the moral compass and what is morally good and bad but also what lies behind intentions, motives and actions. It paints the picture of the eternal struggle between human nature and societal constructs, and therefore poses the question – who will be the first to break: man or society. And in the end what will be the consequences.

HateSphere:
Mathias Uldall – vocals
Peter Lyse Karmark – guitar
Franz Aleksander Posch – guitar
Jimmy Fyrstenberg – bass
Mike Park – drums

BLACKTOOTHED Unleash Visualizer for New Single ‘Will You Survive When I Devour Your Heartbeat’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on August 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BLACKTOOTHED. Leave a comment

With their new single ‘WILL YOU SURVIVE WHEN I DEVOUR YOUR HEARTBEAT’, Leipzig based modern metalcore trio blacktoothed reach a new level of emotional and sonic intensity. 

Stream/pre-order here: https://arisingempire.com/blacktoothed

Driven by crushing riffs, soaring melodies and emotionally charged vocal performances, ‘WILL YOU SURVIVE WHEN I DEVOUR YOUR HEARTBEAT’ gives shape to trauma itself. The song speaks from the perspective of an inner darkness that refuses to disappear, confronting the listener with every wound they have tried to bury. Rather than glorifying suffering, blacktoothed reveal the consequences of suppressing emotional pain until it inevitably demands to be acknowledged.

Catch the band live:

THROWN Release New Single And Video ‘Critic’

Swedish metalcore phenomenon thrown return with their ferocious new single ‘critic’. Sharp-tongued, crushingly heavy and unapologetically confrontational, the track takes aim at self-appointed tastemakers, performative outrage and the endless cycle of online commentary, proving once again that thrown thrive where others merely make noise.

Stream/order here: https://arisingempire.com/thrown

Fueled by venomous vocals, bone-crushing grooves and explosive breakdowns, ‘critic’ is a ruthless response to a culture obsessed with opinions, metrics and manufactured controversy. With “critic,” thrown refuse to soften their edges or hold back their frustration. Instead, they deliver another devastating anthem built to ignite stages, silence doubters and remind everyone why they have become one of the most talked-about names in contemporary metalcore.​​

Catch the band live:
22.08.2026 I Frihamnen I Göteborg, SE
31.10.2026 I EWS Arena I Göppingen, DE
27.11.2026 I Fållan, Johanneshov I Stockholms län, SE

MAGNADUR Share Catchy New Metal Single ‘Eat the Bat’ with Official Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on August 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: MAGNADUR. Leave a comment

Finnish melodic death metal project Magnadur takes a different turn with “Eat the Bat”, out now!

The new single keeps the weight and guitar-driven approach associated with Magnadur, but places a much stronger focus on a chorus that is simple, repetitive and hard to shake. Unusual sounds sit alongside heavy riffs, giving the track a more immediate and playful feel than the project’s more traditional material.

“Eat the Bat” presents a distinct side of Magnadur: still heavy, still melodic, but built around a hook that stays with you.

Tomi Perrakoski handles vocals, lyrics and mastering, while Derek Wolfstein is responsible for guitars and drums.
