Before EVERGREY embark on their European tour with KATATONIA, the Swedish metal titans return with a new song, “OXYGEN!”, channeling their essence with renewed intensity. Blending eerie atmospheres and crushing riffs, it delves into themes of depression and inner struggle. Fueled by their new drummer, Simen Sandnes, a fresh production team with Tom S. Englund and Vikram Shankar (Within Temptation, Silent Skies), and the mix of Adam “Nolly” Getgood – known for his work with giants like Periphery, Sleep Token and Architects – EVERGREY sound as vital as they did at their start, yet fiercely modern. “OXYGEN!” becomes both a desperate plea for resilience amidst darkness and a cathartic release – a visceral cry for air in the suffocating grip of turmoil.
 
Come Monday, November 10, EVERGREY will bring the new single to stages across Europe and the UK. Teaming up with label mates KATATONIA, and with support from Klogr, they will play 32 shows, starting in the Finnish city of Turku and closing their six-week run shortly before Christmas in their home country’s capital, Stockholm. Find the list of dates below!

EVERGREY about “OXYGEN!”:
“We’re thrilled to unleash our new single, ‘OXYGEN!’. This is EVERGREY at our most explosive – almost certainly our heaviest track yet, packed with crushing riffs, vibrant key changes, and soaring melodies that’ll awaken your soul. Lyrically, it embodies the raw, suffocating weight of an inner darkness, yet symbolizes the relentless never-ending war to break free and grasp that fleeting breath of hope. We’ve bled for this one and can’t wait for you to live in its intensity. Because this is us, like you’ve never heard before!”

WILLFIRE Unleash New Lyric Video for ‘Inside Job’

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

Finnish heavy metal trio WILLFIRE has released a new lyric video for “Inside Job”, taken from their DIY album Homebrewed Recordings, out via Wormholedeath.

A slow-burning gut punch wrapped in crushing riffs and lyrical fallout, Inside Job unearths the wreckage of trust, power, and betrayal. The track drips with gritty emotion, where every line feels like a scar and every riff hits like a reckoning.

Hailing from Finland, WILLFIRE channels the raw spirit of heavy metal with a sound that fuses 80s rock, modern metal, and blues. Formed in 1998, the trio—Niko Hellsten, Tero Virolainen, and Marko Kuparinen—returned in 2024 with Homebrewed Recordings, a fully DIY album now reissued via Wormholedeath.

With a vault of unreleased songs and new material brewing, WILLFIRE are only just getting started.

NORTHERN GENOCIDE Release New Single ‘New World’ from Forthcoming Third Album

Finnish modern melodic metal band Northern Genocide released a single ‘New World’ via Inverse Records. The track is taken from the as-yet-untitled third album. 

LISTEN: https://push.fm/fl/northern-genocide-new-world 

-Composed by Rainer Pekkinen ja Pyry Pohjanpalo & Jussi Pulliainen
-Lyrics by Joni Parkkinen
-Produced, recorded & mixed by: Rainer Pekkinen
-Mastered by Juho Räihä/SoundSpiral Audio
-Covert art: Petri Lampela
-ISRC: FI3FC2553901

From the ashes rises a new world, a new chapter. The new Northern Genocide track “New World” turns the knobs up to eleven and unleashes their renewed sound. The lyrics for New World were written by Northern Genocide’s new vocalist, Joni Parkkinen.

“New World is a story about how humanity’s greed has driven nature to turn against us. The song gives a voice to Gaia, tormented by a morbid misanthropy and a desire to cleanse humanity of the disease that threatens her. She offers you a chance to reach out your hand and step into a new world — one that lives by the laws of nature.” — Joni Parkkinen

“The song was created more collectively than ever before, and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Let this be a storm warning of what’s to come from our upcoming full-length studio album”, says the band.

Northern Genocide has always been about finding new ways of combining musical elements without genre restrictions. It all started as an industrial metal project in 2010 aiming to combine exciting electronic elements with aggressive metal riffs. Today it could be described as modern metal or melodic death metal. NG has always embraced the freedom to create music exactly the way they want. Because of that, all of their releases have a distinct sound that has evolved over the years. The first releases ”Atlantis” and ”Planet Asylum” are known for their aggressive synth driven tracks but the latest two releases ”Genesis vol. 666” and ”The Point of No Return” already featured more melodic and orchestral elements. Strong and complex guitar riffs combined with aggressive growl vocals have always the core of their sound.

In 2025 NG  is working on 3rd full length studio album with new vocalist Joni Parkkinen. The album will come out in 2026.

Line-up:
Vocals: Joni Parkkinen
Lead guitars: Pyry Pohjanpalo
Rhythm guitars: Jussi Pulliainen
Drums: Leo Korhonen
Bass: Arto Viitanen
Synths: Rainer Pekkinen

Heavy/power metal veterans SIRIUS are proud to announce the release of their high-energy official video for the track, “Edge of the World.” The song is a standout track from their critically acclaimed debut full-length album, A Quest for Life, out now worldwide via WormholeDeath Records.

“Edge of the World” has quickly solidified its place as a fan favorite, driven by its combination of heavy, cutting guitars, a massive wall-of-sound rhythm section, and an irresistible, sing-along chorus.

The official video is a direct testament to the band’s powerful live presence, featuring footage captured during their A Quest for Life album release party. Every frame vividly captures the electric atmosphere and mutual energy shared between the band and their devoted audience that night.

About A Quest For Life

A Quest for Life marks SIRIUS’s long-awaited full-length debut, delivering a powerful statement that defines modern heavy/power metal. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by producer David Prudent at Made in Hell Studios, who focused on achieving a massive, organic sound—with “no triggers, no A.I., just pure metal.”
The record is a comprehensive blend of everything the band stands for, packed with anthemic choruses, unstoppable twin-guitar riffs, and a crushing rhythm section. Further cementing its status as a must-hear release, the album features guest contributions from metal icons Tim “Ripper” Owens and Derek Sherinian, with striking artwork by Jon Toussas (Graphic no Jutsu).

About SIRIUS

Formed in Athens, Greece, in 2007 and led by guitarist and vocalist Dimitris Napas, SIRIUS quickly established themselves as a formidable force in the Greek metal scene. After refining their lineup, they released their debut EP, Wings of Fire, in 2017, celebrating with a sold-out show.

They have since built a strong live presence, performing at festivals such as Under the Quarry and sharing the stage with artists like Luke Appleton (Iced Earth).
A Quest for Life is a testament to the band’s persistent dedication and marks their powerful return via WormholeDeath Records.

Last May, Sirius won the Rockwave Festival competition and performed at Greece’s biggest metal festival, sharing the stage with Savatage and Michael Schenker.

German crossover thrashers THE PROPHECY 23 strike again with their new single and video “Fresh Metal Fights Fascism”— a short, fierce punch against hate, fueled by heavy riffs and full conviction.

A direct statement against fascism and racism, “Fresh Metal Fights Fascism”captures the band’s trademark “Fresh Metal” energy — a raw, unapologetic blend of thrash, death, and punk that hits as hard lyrically as it does musically. The track embodies rebellion and unity, calling out intolerance while celebrating individuality, freedom, and solidarity within the metal community.

“This song is a short, fierce punch against hate — clear anti-fascist and anti-racist messaging, backed by heavy riffs and full conviction,” says vocalist and guitarist Hannes Klopprogge.

Taken from their latest album “Mosh O’ Clock” (Massacre Records), which stormed into the German album charts at #44 and reached #12 on the official Rock/Metal charts, “Fresh Metal Fights Fascism” reinforces THE PROPHECY 23’s identity as one of the most fearless and outspoken voices in modern thrash.

Stream / order “Mosh O’ Clock” HERE: https://www.theprophecy23.com

Recorded, co-produced, mixed, and mastered by Kai Stahlenberg at Kohlekeller Studios (Powerwolf, Electric Callboy, Kanonenfieber), the track delivers the same massive, raw energy that defines the band’s latest full-length.

With “Fresh Metal Fights Fascism”, THE PROPHECY 23 prove once more that metal is not just entertainment — it’s a weapon against ignorance, a celebration of life, and a call to stand tall together.
