German post-hardcore heavyweights Our Mirage are entering their next chapter with the release of their brand-new single ‘Timeloss’, featuring Screamistry, and the official launch of the pre-orders for their upcoming album Fractured Minds, due out 30th January, 2026.
Following an impressive streak of singles that together amassed over 5.7 million streams on Spotify and secured the band more than 240,000 monthly listeners, Our Mirage now raise the stakes. ‘Timeloss’ blends the band’s trademark emotional intensity with a brutal edge, fueled by the dynamic feature from Screamistry, creating a track that is as cathartic as it is relentless.
With Fractured Minds, Our Mirage are set to deliver their most ambitious and emotionally charged record to date. The new single not only sets the tone for the album but also cements their status as one of Europe’s most vital voices in modern heavy music.
Following the success of their previous full-length Odyssey, which has already surpassed 700,000 streams worldwide, Sable Hills are ready to elevate their sound to new heights. ‘Namu’ delivers everything fans have come to expect and more: blistering riffs, thunderous drumming, and an intensity that bridges modern heaviness with the band’s distinct melodic edge.
Mavis are ready to pull listeners deeper into their sonic universe with their brand-new single ‘The Great Attractor’, the fourth track from their ongoing new album cycle.
After making waves with their 2023 debut Grief Is No Ally, which has already amassed more than 700,000 streams worldwide, Mavis continue to showcase their knack for fusing raw heaviness with striking melodies and forward-thinking songwriting. ‘The Great Attractor’ pushes their sound even further: crushing riffs, relentless breakdowns, and soaring hooks collide in a track that feels both urgent and cinematic.
The new single once again underlines Mavis’ rapid rise as one of Germany’s most promising heavy acts. With each release, the band sharpen their identity and prove that they’re not just part of the scene, they’re shaping its future.
OCTOTANKER is a five-piece band of experienced musicians from Wrocław, Poland, formerly known as Prąd. Prąd is gone. Instead, Octotanker invites you to step aboard their cybernetic spaceship to surf an oil-polluted ocean and fly through the gloomy depths of the cosmos.
Distortion, rust and psychedelia, drifting between the Bermuda Triangle and the Rings of Saturn. A comic-book world of interstellar tankers with tentacles sprouting from their steel hulls. Emptiness. Heaviness. A living pulse.
Octotanker’s debut album, Voidhopper, blends doom, stoner, post-punk, and grunge. The nine-track release, available on vinyl, CD, and streaming platforms, is promoted by the title single “Voidhopper,” accompanied by a music video shot in a century-old astronomical observatory.
The musical and lyrical concept of the album extends into a 42-page comic book, forming a shared, multi-dimensional narrative.
