YHWH Drop New Lyric Video for ‘Hell on Earth (The Root of All Evil)’

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

Extreme metal Collective YHWH have unleashed the lyric video for “Hell on Earth (The Root of All Evil)”, a harrowing glimpse into their upcoming EP, Khatha, set for release on December 12, 2025, through Wormholedeath.

YHWH’s new track “Hell on Earth (The Root of All Evil)” is a furious assault on speciesism, factory farming, and the greed that drives it. With unrelenting brutality, the band draws parallels between industrial slaughterhouses and humanity’s darkest chapters, forcing listeners to confront the suffering hidden behind walls of steel and concrete. This is not just extreme metal for shock value, it’s a manifesto against exploitation, a cry for justice, and a reminder that every choice carries weight. Raw, unsettling, and impossible to ignore, “Hell on Earth” pushes extreme music beyond sound into resistance.

About YHWH

YHWH stands at the forefront of the new wave of extreme metal, using unrelenting sound as a vehicle for profound social and ethical commentary. Formed in 2024 as a Belgian/Thai black metal collective, all music is initially composed by Schem HaMephorash and her sister C. Bones, with S.M. Goat Ritual joining the ranks in June.

Following their explosive debut EP, Tetragrammaton (released April 2025 via Wormholedeath), the band now unleashes their second, darker chapter: Khatha. Their forthcoming EP promises to be one of the most significant and uncompromising releases of the year, cementing their status as a force dedicated to resistance through sonic brutality. Prepare for the doom.

MARC AMACHER Releases New Single ‘…Just N’Other Christmas Song…’

MARC AMACHER releases the new single “…Just N’Other Christmas Song…”.

Christmas in the traditional sense often seems overloaded today. Behind all the glitz and gifts, the actual meaning of this holiday easily fades into the background. Even the figure of Father Christmas – or Santa Claus – raises questions about its meaning and origins. While gifts can be a wonderful thing, they have long since become part of a cycle of consumption and expectations. Perhaps this very impression offers us the opportunity to focus more strongly on what Christmas means beyond material abundance – and to discover new warmth and togetherness in it.

The song can be streamed on all well known platforms and here:

Marc Amacher is the Swiss blues & rock musician who guarantees the finest entertainment. His impressive live performances and his love of melodious and unique blues have made him famous far beyond the country’s borders. Even at a young age, Marc’s life revolved around the instrument with the 6 strings, his ‘Peaches’ guitar. It was obvious that a musician with so much talent would lead his musical journey in the blues and rock genres. Musical genres that best suit his nature and abilities, but also his passion and authenticity. Marc Amacher’s music is deeply rooted in the traditions of the blues, but he also brings modern elements and his own creative touch to his songs. His style is raw, honest and penetrating, and he knows how to present the essence of the blues, but also of rock in its purest form.

Marc Amacher became known to a wider audience when he took part in ‘The Voice Of Germany’ in 2016. With his performance, he blew his competitors away right up to the final. His charismatic performances as well as the variability in his voice impressed not only the jury and the audience. Pop star and former Take That member Robbie Williams, who coached Marc of in the semi-final, was also impressed.

Since his appearances on ‘The Voice’, Marc Amacher has worked continuously on his music career. He has toured nationally and internationally through clubs, thrilled audiences at festivals and events, and can count on a growing fan base. Amacher is known for his energetic stage shows, in which he thrills his audience with his technically accomplished guitar work and intense expression. A first-class entertainer. It is therefore not surprising that Eric Clapton has also asked Marc to support his shows in Germany and Austria.

With is current studio album “Load” he became  #1 artist in the Swiss charts.

Handmade and unadulterated, but by no means outdated: Marc Amacher fascinates with his very own musical diversity, up close and personal. He lives entertainment.

ØUTLINE Release New Single ‘Bite the Bullet’ from Upcoming Debut EP

Finnish hard rock band ØUTLINE is a project of five guys in their twenties, blending genres and mixing the new with the old. In early 2026, the band will release several singles leading up to their debut EP, set to drop in March.

“Bite the Bullet” is a tribute to the golden age of ’80s hard rock. This four-minute track drives through waves of synths, pushed along by gritty guitars and punchy drums that will make even the stiffest listener nod along. Catchy melody is delivered through a mix of smooth and raspy vocal tones, and the whole package is tied together with rich, multi-layered backing vocals that takes the listener back to the legendary cassette era.

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

  • Composer : Iiro Palaste
  • Lyricists: Aaron Hietaniemi & Oiva Salonen

The title “Bite the Bullet” refers to the English expression meaning to face a tough situation head-on. In the lyrics, this feeling is present in the story of a difficult relationship where ending things is the only sensible, but a challenging choice. The band hopes to encourage people to step outside their comfort zone and make the hard decisions life sometimes demands. 

The song is Øutline’s first single from the upcoming EP, offering a small bite of the band’s fresh sound and expanding catalogue. All tracks on the EP were mixed by Sami Niittykoski and mastered by Miro Kiiski. The new single can be heard live on 7 December 2025 at Rock Neck in Jyväskylä, Finland, and more shows are coming this spring, with announcements to follow on the band’s social media channels.

VIAMAER Presents First Single + Video ‘In Excitatione Terrae’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 6, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: VIAMAER. Leave a comment

VIAMAER is a space that was born out of silence — out of the moments when a person is left alone with themselves, with their own tension, fear, calm, and everything that comes between. It is a project that did not emerge from the need to create music, but from the need to express something that cannot be spoken in words.

Behind VIAMAER stands Krystian Jurkiewicz, though the project itself is not centered around a name. It is a way of capturing states a person goes through; a method of giving shape to the intangible yet deeply real. Sound became a natural tool — a place where emotions do not need to be explained, because they can be heard in melody, timbre, contrast, and the silence between notes.

Krystian defines VIAMAER with one sentence that guides the entire project:
“Musica vitae meae pars est, affectus autem ea sunt quae narro.”
Music is a part of my life, and emotions are what I narrate.

In the context of the album, he adds:
“Inter sonos animam tuam reperies.”
Among the sounds, you will find your soul.

The debut album “In lumine lunae” was created slowly, over two years, in the rhythm of life — at times accelerated, at times fractured, at times paused. This is not a collection of songs.
It is a sequence of states in which Polish lyrics lead an intimate narration, while Latin titles open the material to a deeper, more symbolic dimension.

VIAMAER has no ambition to be everything for everyone. It is a project for those who listen not only with their ears, but also with their soul.

VIAMAER “In lumine lunae” is an emotional, raw, and spacious album blending blackgaze, post-black metal, and shoegaze.

Music for debut album was composed, recorded, mixed and mastered by Krystian Jurkiewicz. Cover artwork was done by Piotr Pryk. Album will be released January 29, 2026 in digital format, on tape, CD and LP. Pre-order will be launched very soon (here).

TRACKLIST:

1. In excitatione terrae
2. In lumine lunae
3. Dimensio mortis
4. Ultra insaniam
5. Liberum arbitrium
6. Haec vox
7. Magna paranoia
8. Smaragdus somnium

Revealing the latest addition to the ever expanding range from UK independent publisher Rock N’ Roll Colouring – the first official colouring book from Sleep Token, modern rock’s leading innovators.

Featuring iconic artwork and instantly recognisable images all printed on high quality paper in a square format officially licenced and fully endorsed by Sleep Token, these amazing designs have the potential for hours of satisfying colouring in. The book encourages you to journey deep into the enigmatic imagery of Sleep Token’s latest groundbreaking album ‘Even in Arcadia’, a number one album in both the UK and the US. 

The book contains painstakingly created renderings of each image with detailed outlines ready for you to unleash your artistic skills using pens, pencils or paint. Utilising artwork from the latest album alongside iconic renderings of Vessel, as well as specially created unique mandalas, the book provides fans with the perfect opportunity to add their own personal stamp on Sleep Token’s complex and creative world. 

The staggering phenomenon of Sleep Token has been growing steadily over the course of four incredibly daring, genre defying albums, culminating in this year’s career high ‘Even in Arcadia’, released via major label RCA. A headline appearance at the Download Festival this summer drew one of the biggest crowds to the event in recent years, while the band was recently nominated for two Grammy Awards. Steeped in symbolism and mystery, the band refuses to give interviews and blends post-rock, metal, pop, soul and electronica to create a unique sound that had propelled modern rock music forward at a lightning pace. Sleep Token fans, known collectively as ‘Followers’, revel in the band’s secrecy and hidden meaning, often wearing masks and costumes similar to the band themselves.

Devised and created by two lifelong rock and heavy metal devotees and colouring book fans, Rock N’ Roll Colouring was formed by fans for fans. Every effort has gone into making sure this book does justice to the vision of Sleep Token and their vivid iconography, bearing witness to one of the charismatic and innovative bands of the moment.

The Sleep Token book follows on from the previous Rock N’ Roll Colouring releases from heavy music icons such as Iron Maiden, Alice Cooper, Motörhead, Judas Priest, Cannibal Corpse, Thin Lizzy and Megadeth. 

The book is published on 5th December 2025, available for worldwide shipping, and can be ordered via Eyesore Merch. A limited number of the books will be available with an exclusive print featuring a colour render of a specially created mandala image taken from the book.

WE KILL COWBOYS Release Long-Awaited EP “Back From The Dead” with New Single ‘Dig Deep’

After months of anticipation, Cape Town rock outfit We Kill Cowboys reveal their long-awaited EP, Back From The Dead, accompanied by a new single, “Dig Deep”. Known for their fearless blend of punk, grunge, and post-hardcore, the five-piece band is stepping into a heavier, more focused sound while retaining the raw intensity that has made them a staple of the South African underground.
 
Fronted by tattoo artist and singer-songwriter Alex Muller, who now takes on vocals full-time, the band channels their collective energy into music that is both visceral and emotionally charged. Back From The Dead showcases Alex’s gritty, passionate delivery, bringing to life stories steeped in anti-establishment grit and personal defiance.
 
The addition of Floris Le Roux as a second guitarist has added new depth to the band’s sound, complementing Mornay’s jagged riffs with technical precision and melodic sensibility. Anchored by Andrew’s pounding drums and Miggs’ thick, fuzzy basslines, We Kill Cowboys deliver a rhythm section that hits hard and leaves a lasting impression.

True to their ethos, We Kill Cowboys continue to challenge convention. Their music is raw, unfiltered, and deeply human — a reflection of the chaos, defiance, and beauty that fuels the underground scene. With Back From The Dead, the band roars back with renewed purpose — louder, bolder, and unapologetically themselves. Fans can expect ferocious riffs, haunting hooks, and a sound that strikes with both emotion and intensity.

Buy and stream the EP here: https://orcd.co/back_from_the_dead

The new single, “Dig Deep”, captures this energy perfectly. A high-octane anthem, the track explores the struggle to release the ego’s isolating grip and trust in one’s inner guidance toward freedom and fulfillment. Lyrically resonant, it speaks to self-discovery, personal growth, and following your passion. Alex’s soulful vocals, contrasted with hardcore screams, create a dynamic, emotionally charged sound that is both intense and uplifting. “Dig Deep” merges We Kill Cowboys’ signature hardcore grooves with catchy, compelling riffs, leaving listeners empowered and inspired.
