As Everything Unfolds, who recently announced their signing to Century Media, have today released a brand-new single, ‘WHAT YOU WANTED’, featuring Dani Winter-Bates from Bury Tomorrow.

Speaking of ‘WHAT YOU WANTED’, vocalist Charlie Rolfe says, Over the last 2 years, I have watched various people in my life struggle with addiction issues, mostly related to alcohol. It’s painful and difficult to watch your most beloved people in your life destroy themselves every single day, and not be able to help them. You find it frustrating not being able to help them, not being to do anything, and being angry at their lack of empathy for the pain they put you through every day.

She continues, I found a lot of relatable things in the 1980’s film The Shining which is famously seen as an allegory for Alcoholism, with Jack’s family being concerned for his health, his wellbeing, seeing him in slow decline. His family are frustrated with the situation he put them in alongside being terrified of him when he is the worst version of himself. It made me realise that I was often frustrated and terrified on that person and felt like I was living in my own Overlook hotel at times, trying to desperately save that person, but also sometimes the best thing to do is to just get out. I used this world as a creative vessel to tell my own story.

DEATH ANGEL Unleash Thrashing New Headbanger ‘Cult Of The Used’ with Animated Video

Thrash metal legends DEATH ANGEL have returned to lay waste to 2025 with their colossal new single ‘Cult of the Used.’ Their 2nd new song in 6 years, is intense pit fuel that that ignites into a blaze with the band’s unmistakable chugging rhythm and break neck riffs. The track is accompanied by an astounding animated video created by Tamara Llenas of Aimed and Framed.

Commenting on the song, guitarist Rob Cavestany says:

“Our new song Cult Of The Used is a depiction of society under hypnosis, being strategically manipulated and taken advantage of.  It urges you to leave the so called reality behind…

Fendie Daywalker did a stellar job illustrating the Cult Leader ~ beckoning his blinded followers who remain in trance by his strangely charismatic facade, enchanted by the vibrant colors, mesmerized by his stare.

We wanted to release this song to coincide with our ACT III US Tour which kicks off on November 26th in Denver and concludes with 2 nights at The Fillmore in San Francisco on December 18th and 19th for our 10th Annual ‘Another Death Angel Xmas Show(s).’  We haven’t headlined in the states since 2019 so we wanted to make it extra extra!  Of course we’re excited to include Cult Of The Used in our setlist when we hit the road this month.”

DEATH ANGEL’s new single follows ‘Wrath (Bring Fire)’ that was released earlier this year, and arrives just ahead of the band’s eagerly anticipated Act III US Tour and 10th Annual ‘Another Death Angel Xmas Show’ in San Francisco taking place in December.

COLD IN BERLIN Celebrate Release of “Wounds” Album with Video for ’12 Crosses’

London’s enigmatic cult band, COLD IN BERLIN, shatters six years of silence with the release of their fifth and most ambitious album, “Wounds”.

“Wounds” is a masterclass in sonic tension, a record that is as heavy as it is haunting. COLD IN BERLIN has forged an intoxicating new sound by explosively blending the crushing weight of doom, the stark urgency of post-punk, and the hypnotic drive of krautrock.

This album is a dynamic, boundary-pushing journey into exhilarating new territory for a band that has long been a fixture of the underground.

It’s no surprise that this fantastic work was was highly praised and named ALBUM OF THE MONTH
in the established Sonic Seducer Magazine!

Vocalist Maya describes “Wounds” not as a lament, but as a visceral “strange celebration” of human endurance. “‘Wounds’ is a series of songs about the different ways people live with and process ‘the wounds’ of their lives,” explains Maya. “A strange celebration of that formative pain we have all experienced in some way. The loss and joy of survival – the celebration of finding others like us, the gift of knowing life comes after fire.”

Simultaneously with the album release, COLD IN BERLIN are releasing their third single, “12 Crosses”, along with another captivating music video!

“‘12 Crosses’ is emblematic of the themes of the album ‘Wounds’. What you carry on your back can make you stronger,” says Vocalist Maya. “To share the weight and purge in a cleansing fire is liberating.”

A hypnotic, driving bassline lays the foundation for the song, contrasting sharply with wild, screeching distorted horns for an overwhelming sonic assault. The video was filmed at House of the Holy festival on the Summer Solstice. A transcendental experience of ancient rites.

TRACKS

  1. Hangman’s Daughter
  2. 12 Crosses
  3. Messiah Crawling
  4. They Reign
  5. The Stranger
  6. We Fall
  7. The Body
  8. I Will Wait
  9. Wicked Wounds
    total: 42:23 min.

COLD IN BERLIN emerged from East London’s gothic underground in 2010, evolving into one of the UK’s most revered live acts.
Blending dark Post-Punk, Doom, and Krautrock with Maya’s fierce, commanding vocals, their sound balances raw power with haunting beauty.
Debut album “Give Me Walls” (2010) made waves with Artrocker Album of the Year, followed by acclaimed releases on Candlelight Records and New Heavy Sounds … [learn more here ]

DEAD HEAD Release New Version of ‘Firegate’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 8, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: DEAD HEAD. Leave a comment

Hammerheart Records have previously announced the reissue of Dead Head‘s Depression Tank (2009), the first record of vocalist / bassist Ralph de Boer. The new version, called Repression Tank, will see the light of day on 21st November, 2025.

The album is available for pre-order here: https://deadhead.lnk.to/repressiontank

In celebration, the band have released a new version of the track ‘Firegate’. 

“With his younger age and different influences, Ralph brought a new energy to the band when he first joined us around 2008“, remembers guitar player Rob Woning. 

“And now that Ralph has returned and we’ve been doing new albums and shows up until Japan, it seemed only logical to revisit the music that we originally wrote together and take it to the level that it deserves.“

Repression Tank is the 2.0 incarnation of a previous release. Reimagined and revamped, with a sonic palette that now is fully on par with more recent Dead Head albums. With fresh drums, new sounds and excellent mixing and mastering by renowned Dutch producer Erwin Hermsen, this album offers relentless speed, irresistable grooves, some surprising orchestration and an overall fierceness that is second to none.

Disc two contains 14 bonus tracks, recorded live during the first years with singer/bass player Ralph de Boer. The material was reclaimed from old hard disk recorders and recently mixed by Dead Head’s longtime live sound engineer Gerlach Timmer.

Track-list:
CD 1: Repression Tank
1. Dissolved in Purity
2. Green Angel
3. Cryptocynic
4. The Swing
5. Daemonique
6. Firegate
7. Less than Zero
8. Hateland
9. Nero Dies
10. Murder
11. Pesticide
 
CD 2: Live
1. Intro
2. The Festering 
3. Phantom Palace
4. Less Than Zero
5. House of Ambience
6. Slay Your Kind
7. In Your Room
8. Kill Division
9. Faust II
10. Until the Sun Appears
11. Dissolved in Purity
12. Green Angel
13. Firegate
14. Cold Being

With 35+ years behind them, Dutch thrash band Dead Head are still powered by an unstoppable drive.  The band were formed in 1989 by a bunch of angry teenagers that were worshipping the likes of Possessed, Sacrifice, Dark Angel and Sadus. And despite the passing of decades, the Dutch veteran thrash band still performs with three-quarters of its original lineup today. A rarity in today’s metal scene, but Dead Head has consistently been a lifelong commitment for these dedicated Dutchmen.

Recent years saw deluxe reissues of older albums, along with the praised fresh albums like Swine Plague (2017), Slave Driver (2022) and the mini album Shadow Soul (2024). All of their music is released by Hammerheart, a reputable Dutch label that Dead Head are proud to call home.

Line up:
 Ralph de Boer – Vocals and bass
 Ronnie van der Wey – Guitar left
 Robbie Woning – Guitar right
 Hans Spijker – Drums
