Sun Of The Suns has released a video for “On The Last Day Of Earth”, first single taken from the new album “Entanglement” to be released on December 12 by Scarlet Records.

A cosmic journey where the narrator embarks on an astral voyage to witness Earth’s final moment. He encounters two souls he knew in life, a couple whose timeless union transcends existence. As the world burns, their spirits dance freely through the cosmic expanse regardless of any cataclysm. It’s a poignant tale of love that endures beyond physical reality, shining as a beacon of hope amidst universal destruction.

Since their inception with the crushing 2021 debut album “TIIT”, Sun Of The Suns has carved out a peculiar space blending technical death metal, progressive groove, and futuristic soundscapes. Now, the band is set to re-ignite the extreme scene with “Entanglement”, a transcendent cosmic soundscape forged from the brutal rhythm of tech death and ethereal melodies.

The music showcases a singular creative vision and features the explosive and intricate drumming of Francesco Paoli (Fleshgod Apocalypse), whose performance adds a layer of precision that fits perfectly the Sun Of The Suns forward-thinking sound. “Entanglement” was expertly crafted and fine-tuned by producer Simone Mularoni, ensuring every element is delivered with stunning clarity.

Coupled with emotionally resonant lyrics forming a captivting concept, the second effort of the Italian unit is a punishing, intense, and shattering celestial voyage.

SCYTHE BEAST’s New Album “Anthem of the Rotten” Out Now

SCYTHE BEAST was founded in 2012 by Sven Stoppelberg (guitar, bass, vocals, lyrics, and
songwriting) and “Koopie” (producer/engineer) as a project to give a proper birthday shout-out to a mutual friend. However, it was already clear that a fierce beast was blowing out the candles on the cake! And the beast had a mighty appetite!

After completing the line-up, the band released debut album “Breeding Devastation” (2016) and then second full length “Indicted for Misconception” (2021).

Scythe Beast is live the complete package for every neck owner: sometimes slow and dragging, then again with the gas pedal pressed to the floor on the fast lane. Sometimes melodic, and immediately followed by a heavy riff barrage. Here, you still scream with heart!

Music for the upcoming album was recorded, mixed & mastered by Day “Koopie” Dysirrah. Cover artwork was done by Susi from sue_real_surreal. Album titled “Anthem of the Rotten” was released on physical format (October 25, 2025) and digitally (October 27, 2025) as independent release.

Below you can stream the whole album on Youtube and popular streaming platforms (Spotify, Tidal, Amazon, Apple, Deezer, Bandcamp).

TRACKLIST:

01. Ravenous
02. Beast
03. Anthem of the Rotten
04. The Seance
05. Spawn of the Stillborn Lord
06. Heirloom
07. Purify by Flame
08. The Carrion Marshes
09. Warp

PAPIR Drop Hypnotic First Single ‘IX.I’ from Upcoming Album

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

Copenhagen’s instrumental psych voyagers PAPIR unveil the sprawling opener “IX.I” from their upcoming album IX, out November 21st on Stickman Records!

With a sound that’s as fluid as it is focused, PAPIR continue to push their own boundaries. the first single “IX.I” sets the tone as a perfect introduction to their forthcoming sonic journey: a track that breathes, pulses, and stretches out in all the right ways. Terms like post-rock, ambient rock, psychedelia, and krautrock may circle PAPIR‘s distinct sound, but none quite capture its shimmering, elusive magic. 

Listen to “IX.I” now on all streaming platforms: https://indigo.lnk.to/FfdRytV6

Their new album sees the band doubling down on what they do best: wide-open jams that unfold like landscapes. IX is a wide-open record in every sense. From the flowing compositions – which linger but never overstay, jam and unfold organically – to the wonderful airy production, you get the sense of being both in studio with the band and simultaneously on the beach with wind blowing through your hair. With touches of synth and extra percussion sprinkled in, it’s a record that feels alive in the moment, yet meticulously crafted.

IX will be available as a 180g black double LP (including download code) and on CD. The album pre-sale has just started at: https://www.stickman-records.com/shop/papir-ix/

Close Enemies, a powerhouse band featuring legendary musicians Tom Hamilton, multiple Grammy winner, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member, and bassist of the biggest-selling American rock band of all time, Aerosmith, is joined by legendary drummer Tony Brock (The Babys and Rod Stewart), touring veterans Peter Stroud (Sheryl Crow and Don Henley) and Trace Foster on guitar, and singer Chasen Hampton, who has been singing professionally since the age of 11, as a member and co-host of the famed 90s Mickey Mouse Club and pop group The Party, unveiled their music video for single “More Than I Could Ever Need” through TLG|ROCK, distributed through Virgin Music Group.  

The video was directed by acclaimed visual artist Tom Flynn.

“We spent a day shooting a video for an upcoming song from the album and finished with about an hour until we had to be out of the studio. We needed a lyric video for ‘More Than I Could Ever Need’, and asked the director, Tom Flynn if we could do something. Fifteen minutes later he had the studio ready and we did a few takes. Two days later he sent the finished product and we were knocked out! He captured the atmosphere of the song and the look of the band so well we could hardly believe it. We hope you like it too. We’re looking forward to working with him again especially since unlike most video shoots it was pain free!” shares Tom Hamilton. 

“More Than I Could Ever Need” is a deeply personal and haunting rock ballad written by Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton along with the band as a tribute to his wife of almost 50 years. The song is a moving ode to commitment, passion, and the kind of love that only gets stronger with time.

THE VICE Unleash First Single/Video ‘Cardinal Tropes’ from Upcoming EP

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 31, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE VICE. Leave a comment

Stockholm-based dark metal four-piece THE VICE has announced the release of their brand new 3-track EP “The Red Tape Sessions”, set to drop on December 5 via Noble Demon.

With the track “Cardinal Tropes”, the band offers a first glimpse of what’s to come. The single is accompanied by a striking music video, available to watch below.

Listen to the single HERE

THE VICE about the song: “Sometimes things don’t have to be too complicated, pretentious. ‘Cardinal Tropes’ began with only a couple of lines spat out on top of a simple, cool rhythm. Those first few seconds made it very clear as to what kind of a song it was going to be, so writing and arranging the rest was nothing but smooth sailing. And the end result is a dazzling display of The Vice firing on all cylinders, a purple freaking haze of mean rock ‘n’ roll, dark metal, self-indulgence and a juvenile tenacity to always take the road less traveled.“

Tracklist:
01. Cardinal Tropes
02. Lilies of the Field
03. Waltz de Anima

From the very beginning, THE VICE has followed their own crooked path, driven by a desire to carve out a place of their own within the scene.

And that grimy, wildhearted, metal/rock/pop fusion, with one foot firmly planted in the windswept,

frozen North and the other cemented to the concrete of the streets, sure sounds like nothing else.

Dark, blackened metal, ferocious rock ‘n’ roll, posh punk and harsh, hardcore attitude; mixed with a huge dose of the cultural colossi of the 90’s such as Guns & Roses, Pantera, Prince, Grunge, Oasis, Neometal, Fight Club, The Matrix and Terminator 2 to name a few. All of that – and everything in between – comes close to describing the very essence of THE VICE.

Three full-length albums and numerous EPs into their career, the band stands as a confident, adrenaline-pumping unit – a bunch of loose cannons at the starting blocks, ready to commence the next chapter in THE VICE saga.

The first leg of this new era is marked by “Cardinal Tropes”, the opening track from “The Red Tape Sessions” mini-EP, closing out 2025 with a colorful bang. The track is a straightforward, mean-sounding statement piece – a perfect representation of THE VICE in 2025.

“The Red Tape Sessions” – a striking collection that builds upon the foundations of March’s “A Great Unrest” (Noble Demon), elevating both the production and songwriting while drenching it all in a strange, electrifying neon glow – arrives December 5 and is available for pre-order HERE.

The Vice are:
Rickard – Vocals & Guitars
Charlie – Bass
Petter – Drums
Joel Öhman – Guitar
