Melodic Death Metal legion EVOCATUS has unleashed the official music video for their monolithic title track, “Devoted to Inevitable Death.” This aggressive, animated single arrives as a new visual chapter from their uncompromising album, INEVITABLE DEATH, out via WormHoleDeath.

“Devoted To Inevitable Death” is a thunderous ode to fate, warfare, and the inescapable end that comes for us all…

Vaughan explains: “I wrote the main riff for this song just after recording finished for our last album, Path to Tartarus, not quite making it in time for that release. I was listening to a lot of Beyond Creation at the time, and this main riff was inspired by the chunky intro on Omnipresent Perception. I aimed to combine this with the soaring highs and churning lows of the choruses to really give it a contrasting ‘triumph through tribulation’ feeling. This song also has my favourite solo on the album, very happy with how it turned out.”

The new music video is illustrated, animated, and edited by @VKI-ILL, bringing the track’s intensity and emotion into a visual world of war-torn myth and looming finality.

–Music by Douchkov, lyrics by Jones.
–Produced, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Huthnance (Emissary Studios).

NEW MISERABLE EXPERIENCE Release New Single + Video ‘The Devil We Know’

New Miserable Experience, featuring an all-star cast with members of Rivers of Nihil, Rosetta, ex-Revocation, Model Prisoner and Rivers of Nihil, have revealed their new single ‘The Devil We Know’.

‘The Devil We Know’ is taken from the band’s new album Gild The Lily, due 23rd January via Pelagic Records.

Pre-order Gild The Lily and stream ‘The Devil We Know’ here: https://orcd.co/newmiserableexperience

New Miserable Experience are a Philadelphia-rooted collective that reshapes heavy-music rigour into expansive, melody-forward songs through alternative synth-rock. What started as a file-trading collaboration between vocalist/bassist David Grossman (ex-Rosetta) and multi-instrumentalist Joshua Mahesh Kost (Model Prisoner) expanded into a full band that now includes Rosetta drummer Bruce “B.J.” McMurtrie Jr., technical-metal bassist Brett Bamberger (ex-Revocation), and guitarist Brody Uttley (Rivers of Nihil). 

Each member of New Miserable Experience contributes a distinctive sonic fingerprint. The vocals act as the emotional centre, delivering lines that feel confessional and immediate; synths and guitars are constructed with shimmering arpeggios and decisive motifs; percussion and production choices blend groove and tension within electronic nuance; and bass work often functions as a countermelody, lifting refrains and anchoring transitions. Together the five players emphasise careful craft over spectacle, shaping a song that rewards patient listening.

Across the twelve tightly arranged tracks of 3rd album Gild The Lily, the band pares its palette to essential elements: clear melodies, precise dynamics, and richly textured production. The album trades overt bombast for craft, building emotional weight through small gestures and patient arrangements rather than moments of spectacle.

Elements of Gild the Lily combines alternative synth rock with chorus-tinted guitars, and a rhythm section that alternates between taut propulsion and roomy, reverb-soaked space. Elements of artists as lauded and disparate as Crosses, Ulver, The Black Queen and more combine to irresistible effect.

Tracklisting: 

1.    Heartsick 
2.    Ordinary People
3.    The Devil We Know
4.    In the House of Denial 
5.    Infinite Sadness
6.    Payback From God
7.    Yours to Bury 
8.    Perfect Things
9.    Letters to Insomnia
10.    Perfect Blue
11.    Running the Fear of it Dry 
12.    Ataraxia

New Miserable Experience are: 
Josh Kost (multi-instrumentalist)
Brody Uttley (guitar)
Brett Bamberger (bass)
David Grossman (vocals)
BJ McMurtrie (drums)

IT’sALIE Share Visualizer for New Single ‘Believers Of Leaders’ from Upcoming Album “Wild Games”

The Italian rockers IT’sALIE share today the new single and accompanying visualizer, “Believers Of Leaders”, the second one from their upcoming studio album, “Wild Games”, set for release on February 27, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl.

The band described the new single by saying: “For us, it’s one of the tracks that best captures the spirit of the album, and it was also among the most fun to record, play, and sing. A blend of influences with a touch that echoes Ozzy’s No More Tears era, it’s set to become one of the most explosive moments of our live shows!”

Pre-Order “Wild Games” HERE

Talking about the record, the band said: “With this chapter, we wanted to set the stylistic coordinates of a Hard & Heavy sound that starts from the blues and returns to the blues. Giorgia’s voice – carrying within it all the power of the great rock singers of the ’70s (Janis Joplin, Ann Wilson, Aretha Franklin, …) – brings a unique color to a sound that bridges Lynch Mob, Black Sabbath (Dio–Martin era), and Southern Rock”.

“We entrusted the production to Mat Sinner (who, from this album onward, also plays bass in the band), while Magnus Karlsson handled the mix and mastering. We are very satisfied with the result and consider it a major achievement to place it in the hands of the Frontiers team!”, they continued.

“Wild Games” Tracklist:

1.    Waiting For The Rain    
2.    One Way To Rock    
3.    Living In The City    
4.    History Remains    
5.    Believers Of Leaders    
6.    Rebels    
7.    Bring It On    
8.    Gates Of Faith    
9.    Wake Up Call    
10.    Death Road    
11.    Spirits

IT’sALIE are a dynamic hard rock band fronted by powerhouse vocalist Giorgia Colleluori (also known for her work with Eternal Idol and Rock Meets Classic). With her commanding voice and magnetic stage presence, Giorgia leads the band through a mix of melodic hooks, crushing riffs, and pure rock attitude.

Since their formation, IT’sALIE have built a reputation for delivering explosive live performances and crafting songs that fuse classic hard rock roots with a modern edge. Their debut album introduced the band’s fierce energy to the world, and now “Wild Games” pushes that sound further – bold, passionate, and unmistakably IT’sALIE.

Now they are back with their brand-new album “Wild Games”! The powerhouse hard rock band IT’sALIE return with a thunderous new album that captures the raw spirit, energy, and attitude of pure rock ‘n’ roll. 

“Wild Games” is a high-octane ride through anthemic riffs, soaring vocals, and pounding rhythms – an unfiltered shot of adrenaline that cements IT’sALIE’s reputation as one of the most electrifying acts in modern hard rock. Produced with the help of Mat Sinner and mixed by Magnus Karlsson, Wild Games takes listeners on a journey through the real r’n’r emotions!

Each track showcases the band’s unmistakable chemistry and signature sound: bold, unapologetic, and made to be played loud. IT’sALIE are here to remind the world that hard rock is alive, dangerous, and louder than ever.

The band was founded by rock singer Giorgia Colleluori (Sinner, Rock Meets Classic, and former Eternal Idol), who teamed up with Mat Sinner, the band’s manager and co-producer, and drummer Camillo Colleluori (former Eternal Idol).

In 2020, their debut album “Lilith” was released via ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records, earning excellent reviews from major European rock and metal magazines and webzines. Giorgia was quickly recognized as one of the most outstanding voices in the scene, further showcasing her commanding stage presence during the Rock Meets Classic tours and in the band’s first two videos, “Fire” and “Wind,” both included on Lilith.

On December 1, 2021, the band returned to the studio to record their second album, “Emosphere”, which was released on December 9, 2022, again through ROAR! Rock Of Angels Records. The band began performing on national stages in support of the release, receiving excellent feedback and reviews not only for the album itself but also for their fully live show.

In 2023, with the addition of talented guitarist Leonardo Duranti, the band solidified its lineup. Mat Sinner took on a dual role as producer and bassist, and during the same year, the band began writing their third album, collaborating with Magnus Karlsson on three songs.

Ukrainian/Polish MORBONOCT Stream New Album “No One Knows We’re Dying”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 14, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Morbonoct, as a studio project, started in 2021. The line-up includes Alexander Medvedev, who is responsible for all the instruments. In mid-2023, new vocalist&lyricist David Welnicki joined the project. The main idea of the project was the space theme, which is also reflected in the sound and accompaniment of dense atmospheric canvases in the background. So far, project released four full length albums: “Anmet” (2021), “Chorna bezodnya” (2022), “Galactic Gloom” (2023) and “The Highest Purpose” (2024). Now, it’s time for fifth album!

“We would like to introduce you to our new style of cosmic black metal, let the ambience take you over“.

Music for new album was recorded, mixed and mastered in Szczecin (Poland) by Alexander Medvediev. Cover artwork was done also by the leader of the project, Alexander. New album titled “No One Knows We’re Dying” was released digitally on December 12, 2025.

Alexander comments on album: “No One Knows We’re Dying traces the inevitable cycles of life — from the beauty of creation to the weight of existence, and finally, to a cold, inevitable silence. The project embraces raw authenticity, with the mix and master intentionally restrained to preserve the natural texture of the vocals. Minimal post-processing allows every imperfection to speak truthfully, amplifying the emotional resonance of the performance. The instrumental foundation forms a cohesive narrative that evokes deep melancholy and a quiet sense of hopelessness, guiding the listener through a hauntingly introspective experience“.

02. Lost

BENIGHTED Unveil Freaky New Drummer with New Single + Playthrough Video ‘The Spineless Freak’

Fresh from their latest full-length of psychological torment, Benighted are bringing a ripping new force into the band’s twisted folds. New single, “The Spineless Freak”, marks the official debut of the band’s new drummer Matthias Biechler with all his destructive force.  

“The whole story is pretty incredible,” explains Benighted’s vocalist Julien Truchan. “As we were casting other drummers, I got a message from my friend Eugene of Fleshgod Apocalypse who told me he had a student in Paris who learns incredibly fast and that I should contact him. Matthias came for the casting last July and he just amazed us by playing our fastest songs impeccably. He is only 22, has played drums for four years and we’re officially his very first band as a drummer! I can’t even imagine his level in two or three years. He is at the same time a machine and the nicest guy you can find. We’re so happy to welcome him in the band!”

Watch Benighted’s new drummer show off his freakish speed and skill in the official drum playthrough for the band’s new single “The Spineless Freak”.

While he also plays bass, Matthias Biechler spent the last four years studying drums under the mentorship of Fleshgod Apocalypse drummer Eugene Ryabchenko. Matthias’ first-ever performance as a drummer took place live onstage while behind the kit for Benighted. The freakish phenom ripped through the band’s blistering songs with a sense of ease that stunned the audience and his new bandmates.  

“[…] it’s an honor for me to join Benighted behind the drums”, Matthias says. “This very band gave me the motivation five years ago to push myself and truly work hard on the drums, so joining them today as my first band as a drummer is beyond anything I ever imagined. I’ll give everything I have to live up to the band’s name and unleash all the violence you love so much. Thank you for welcoming me and your support. I can’t wait to share this journey with all of you!”  

Dive into the darkest realms of the human psyche as BENIGHTED, the French purveyors of brutal death metal & grindcore, unleash their tenth full-length album Ekbomin April 2024. The madness that has defined their discography continues with this radical soundtrack to the twisted times we inhabit.

Born from French Death and Black metal bands DISHUMANIZED, DARKNESS FIRE, and OSGILIATH, BENIGHTED emerged in 1998 with a mission to explore a more brutal, heavy, and modern form of musical expression. The impact of their first self-produced and self-titled full-length album in 2000 transformed BENIGHTED from a side-project into a main act, quickly amassing a devoted fan base. Subsequent albums like Psychose (2002), Insane Cephalic Production (2004), Identisick (2006), and Icon (2007) further cemented their visceral, skull-breaking sound into extreme death metal history.

After a detour into the realms of Necrobreed in 2017, BENIGHTED celebrated their 20th anniversary by capturing the live madness with Dogs Always Bite Harder Than Their Master in 2018.

With Obscene Repressed, they once again took sadistic pleasure in pushing the boundaries of brutality, delving into the disturbed mind of little Michael. His relentless battle against demons, fueled by unresolved oedipal issues with his mother, provided a grotesque tableau for BENIGHTED‘s sonic butchery. Not content with merely slaughtering everything in their auditory path, BENIGHTED crafted thematically explorative pieces, each turn in their music revealing new layers of horror and despair.

As the relentless journey continues, BENIGHTED is set to unleash Ekbom in April 2024, an album that draws inspiration from the nightmarish ‘Ekbom syndrome.’ This rare neurological disorder, also known as Delusional Parasitosis, forms the thematic core of the upcoming release. A feeling of having a vile concoction of parasites, worms, and insects crawling under your skin is an apt description of what BENIGHTED have to offer on this newest release. The auditory assault mirrors the repulsive sensations of the syndrome, a visceral and unsettling journey into the abyss of the human mind.

Madness reigns yet again, this time intertwining with the haunting echoes of Ekbom syndrome. Brace yourselves for another mind-shattering chapter in the BENIGHTED saga as they continue to carve their niche in the putrid annals of extreme metal, leaving a trail of sonic disgust in their wake.

Lineup:
Julien Truchan – Vocals
Emmanuel Dalle – Guitars
Pierre Arnoux – Bass
Matthias Biechler – Drums

Kohlekeller Studios, Germany (Powerwolf, Aborted, Crematory)
