CROBOT Unleash High-Octane New Single ‘Foot Off’ from Upcoming Album “Supermoon”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: Crobot. Leave a comment

With “Foot Off,” CROBOT doubles down on the groove that made them dangerous in the first place. The track plows forward on a bluesy bone tingling riff and a chorus built to cut through the roar of a vintage American muscle car. It’s a full-throttle return to the band’s Dirty Groove Rock roots—raw, electrified, and impossible to ignore.

Hard rock powerhouse CROBOT is back with a thunderous new single, “Foot Off,” offering fans another taste of the band’s upcoming album Supermoon. Known for their signature blend of groove-heavy riffs, explosive energy, and undeniable swagger, CROBOT once again proves why they remain one of the most electrifying bands in modern rock.

“Foot Off” hits like a runaway freight train from the opening riff, combining crunchy guitar work, pounding drums, and the unmistakable powerhouse vocals of frontman Brandon Yeagley. The track delivers an adrenaline-fueled anthem built around the idea of pushing forward without hesitation—never slowing down and never taking your foot off the gas.

Listen to the single here:

“Foot Off” puts us right back in the driver’s seat of charging our way through open highways at break neck speed with our destination set to our Dirty Groove Rock roots. This one is for the fans that have been with us from the beginning and fans that want to know exactly what we’re all about – still after 15 years of being a band.” – Brandon Yeagley

“It’s somewhere between ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and Clutch. Right where I like to be baby. I’m happy we are back to funkin’. Ever since I was a wee little boy, that’s what’s always got my motor running.” – Bishop

Lyrically, the song channels themes of determination, rebellion, and relentless drive. It’s a track that captures CROBOT’S high-energy spirit while encouraging listeners to keep charging ahead no matter the obstacles in their path.

CROBOT BIO

They’ve burned down the temple just to see what would crawl out of the ashes.

CROBOT have always been the house band for the apocalypse — all sweat-stained riffs, swampy swagger, and enough grease under their fingernails to make the saints choke — but this time, the inferno’s aimed inward.

Frontman Brandon Yeagley sounds like he’s howling through a séance, summoning every demon he’s ever danced with and daring them to stay for the encore. Beside him, Christopher Bishop peels off guitar lines that swing somewhere between scripture and sin, his tone dirtier than a bar mat in a Texas roadhouse. The low end rumbles under the command of Willie Jansen, whose bass hits like a sermon in a steel mill, while his brother Nico Jansen drives the kit like a preacher possessed — a rhythm section born to baptize you in groove.

The new record was tracked between the hallowed boards of Willie Nelson’s Pedernales Studio and the Machine Shop in Dripping Springs, then mixed and mastered by Alberto de Icaza, who captured every ounce of holy delirium. But it wasn’t just a recording — it was a ritual. There were smoke cleansings, moon rites, gemstones humming on console tops, meditations between takes, and lyrics treated like spells. Every session felt like a sweat-lodged dream in which the band tried to drown their egos and come back clean.

Lyrically and philosophically, it’s a fever dream stitched from Buddhism, Taoism, Christianity, and Jung, with pages torn from Siddhartha, Reality Transurfing, Black Elk Speaks, and Castaneda’s Don Juan scattered on the studio floor. The result is a raw-nerve meditation on ego death, rebirth, and the dirt-under-your-nails work of becoming a whole human again — a trip through shadow and light, anchored in the red pulse of the root chakra but aiming for something far higher.

If the last few years found CROBOT flirting with heavier metal machinery, this era drags the beast back to the groove pit — to the swamp funk and snarling riffs that made their early believers fall in line. It’s the sound of four weirdos rediscovering the primordial ooze beneath their boots and realizing that enlightenment still needs distortion.

CROBOT have always preached the gospel of Dirty. Groove. Rock.  Now they’re living it, leaner, meaner, and wired straight into the source.

SACRIVERSUM Release New Single & Music Video ‘March Of The Giants’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SACRIVERSUM. Leave a comment

SACRIVERSUM were formed in 1992 in Łódź (Poland), playing old school Death Metal with progressive elements and atmospheric sounds, making their complex mixture special and unique. Their debut album „The Shadow Of The Golden Fire“ was released in 1994, at a time when a lot of Death Metal bands started to push their boundaries and became more experimental. Their music was a perfect fit along with legendary bands like PESTILENCE,  DEATH,  GOREFEST & ATHEIST. And this counts for SACRIVERSUM and their upcoming new album „Before The Birth Of Light“ even more.

SACRIVERSUM kick off their second single and music video “March Of The Giants”.

Stream Track: https://save-it.cc/fireflash/march-of-the-giants

„Before The Birth Of Light“ will be released on May 8th and is available on CD, limited vinyl (300 copies) and digital. 

  • Pre-Order the album now: https://save-it.cc/fireflash/before-the-birth-of-light
  • Bandcamp: https://ff-sacriversum.bandcamp.com/album/before-the-birth-of-light

“The title ‘March of the Giants’ immediately conjures up a certain vision in the listener’s mind, further emphasised by the rhythmic nature of the song. Many people we talked to suggested that this structure is similar to the epic songs of BATHORY. One can immediately associate it with a heavily armed army conquering new territories, destroying everything in its path. But for us, it’s more about the aspect of unstoppability. It’s a song about how once you’ve gathered your team and set out together to achieve your goal, nothing can stop you from achieving it”, comments the band.

The album stands for raw Death Metal, with those incomparable Hammond organs. DEATH meets DEEP PURPLE. Their sound is a mixture of the above mentioned acts and is not too far apart from the latest BLOOD INCANTATION album. Both combine tradition with fiction. You have to hear and experience this Death Metal gem. Since 2022, SACRIVERSUM are back and continue, where they ended up with their debut album. Those nine new tracks on „Before The Birth Of Light“ are possibly the best songs SACRIVERSUM ever composed – once you got into it, they don’t let you go. It is a dark ride into another dimension, another time and another space. You are captured in their own world, in a time before the birth of light.

SUNCRAFT Announce Vinyl Release of “Welcome To The Coven”, Out April 10th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SUNCRAFT. Leave a comment

Suncraft have announced to release their latest album, Welcome To The Coven, on Vinyl on April 10, 2026 via All Good Clean Records. Originally released last November, the band’s second full-length will now be available as a red and black Vinyl edition through the Norwegian heavy rock label. 

The pre-sale is available via the Stickman Records shop at: https://www.stickman-records.com/shop/suncraft-welcome-to-the-coven/

Suncraft is an underground rock band from Oslo, Norway. After appearing on the scene with their debut Flat Earth Rider in 2021, they’ve ratcheted up their sound a notch in every conceivable way with their sophomore outing Welcome To The Coven. This time around, the band is serving a fast-paced genre party of an album, bursting at the seams with heavyness and playful creativity. Scandirock, punk, post rock, metal and stoner influences are all combined into a unique blend of high energy, fuzzed out riffery, with production by the eminent Norwegian rock producer, Ruben Willem (Kvelertak, The Good The Bad and The Zugly). 

Formed in Oslo in 2017, Suncraft built their early identity on mid-tempo stoner rock, but Welcome To The Coven shows the band has broadened their foundation significantly. The album channels classic rock swagger, punk urgency, and flashes of blackened intensity without settling into pastiche or genre collage – think Turbonegro meets Venom with the odd helping of blast beats thrown in and you’re on your way.

Accompanying this sonic exploration, Suncraft delves into today’s strange and scary times of oligarchs, endless noise and rampant cult-like attitudes. Like on the opener, the thrash metal infused «Ragebait», which embodies a fierce, outrage-driven algorithm that hungers for anger, or on the somber, post-rock adjacent «High on Silence», which laments the difficulties of finding some peace of mind to cut through all the noise. Through it all, the quintet welcomes the listener into their playful world of serious rock n roll nonsense. The album’s eight tracks move fluidly between heavy riffing, hook-forward choruses and sudden shifts in mood, giving the record a restless, forward-thinking character that keeps its 40-minute runtime lean and engaging.

Welcome To The Coven is a confident step forward for a promising band which emphasizes their sharpened songwriting and willingness to push beyond scene expectations. The Vinyl will be available on April 10, 2026 from Norwegian purveyors of heavy rock label All Good Clean Records.

Tracklist:

  1. Ragebait
  2. Love’s Underrated
  3. Greed Battalion
  4. Welcome to the Coven
  5. Wizards of the Anger Magic
  6. Charlatan Killer
  7. High on Silence
  8. Forgotten Goddess

Suncraft is:
Rasmus Skage Jensen (Bass / Vocals)
Tobias Paulsen (Drums)
Vebjørn Rindal Krogstad (Guitar)
Sigurd Grøtan (Guitar)
Jens Henrik Kverndal (Guitar)

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: KINGSPHERE. Leave a comment

KINGSPHERE is a Polish modern metalcore band founded in 2020, steadily building its identity on crushing riffs, infectious melodies, and uncompromising stage energy. The band blends contemporary metalcore with strong influences from old-school melodic death metal and electronic elements, creating a dynamic and multidimensional sound.

Their music balances aggression with melody — massive breakdowns collide with soaring, anthemic choruses and atmospheric synth layers. The melodic death metal influence is especially present in harmonized guitar leads and expressive solos, adding an epic character to their compositions.

Today, Kingsphere is releases third album titled “Inertia”. Kingsphere continues to prove that modern metal can be both aggressive and melodic while remaining fresh and innovative — delivering music driven by technical precision, emotion, and a powerful contemporary edge.

“Inertia” is Kingsphere’s heaviest and most uncompromising release to date — yet also their most infectious. The album blends relentless riffs, high-energy pacing, and crushing breakdowns with anthemic choruses, strong melodic hooks, and refined electronic layers.
It also marks the band’s best production so far. The modern, polished sound highlights every detail — from razor-sharp guitars and punchy bass to thunderous drums and powerful, expressive vocals. “Inertia” captures Kingsphere at their most confident, intense, and artistically mature.

FABIENNE ERNI’s Debut Solo Album “Starveil” Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 15, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: FABIENNE ERNI. Leave a comment

With ‘Starveil’, Fabienne Erni (Eluveitie, ILLUMISHADE) unveils her anticipated debut solo album, a deeply personal and immersive work that marks a defining new chapter in her artistic journey. The record was released worldwide on March 13th.

Fabienne Erni’s debut solo album Starveil moves fluidly between modern metal intensity and folk-inspired textures, blending heavy riffs, cinematic arrangements, and organic instrumentation with Fabienne Erni’s distinctive vocal presence. Storytelling lies at the heart of the album, inviting listeners into an atmospheric and emotionally driven world that gradually reveals its own developing lore. Throughout the record, subtle narrative details, symbolic elements, and fragments of an invented fantasy language form a layered listening experience that unfolds over time.

Best known as the singer of Eluveitie and ILLUMISHADE, Erni has already lent her voice to countless stages and recordings worldwide. With Starveil, she places her most personal artistic vision at the forefront. The album reflects her passion for musical diversity, ranging from powerful metal moments to fragile passages, and unfolds as an evocative journey that draws listeners deep into its emotional landscapes.

Fabienne Erni shares: “This album is the most personal project I have ever worked on, and I find it difficult to put into words how proud I am of it. Taking on this new challenge meant navigating unfamiliar territory, learning new things, and stepping far outside my comfort zone.

Storytelling has always been at the heart of what inspires me, the power of escaping into another world for a moment, and this record gave me the space to fully embrace that both lyrically and musically. It allowed me to create an entire universe with its own developing lore and to weave fragments of an invented fantasy language into the songs. Throughout the album, there are intentionally placed hidden elements, narrative hints, and symbolic moments waiting to be discovered over time.

I am deeply grateful to have worked with such talented and inspiring artists on this record. Vidick (Infected Rain) supported me in countless ways throughout the creative process, and the collaboration with Lena Scissorhands, frontwoman of Infected Rain, brought a powerful intensity and a unique color to the album.

Bringing the hammered dulcimer, performed by the brilliant Ephraim Salzmann, was a long-held dream of mine, as I have always been captivated by the unique tone of that instrument. Releasing this music feels both vulnerable and empowering. It is an invitation into my inner world, and I hope it gives listeners a pause to breathe, a moment of comfort, and a passage into a world just beyond our own.”

Starveil – Tracklist

  1. Vareon
  2. Sky’s Breath
  3. Ritual (feat Lena Scissorhands)
  4. Stone by Stone

Fabienne Erni is a singer and multi-instrumentalist from Switzerland; best known for her work in Folk Metal sensation Eluveitie, and the founding of the genre-transcending modern metal band ILLUMISHADE. At around 13 years old, Erni first discovered a love for singing, inspired by multi-range artists like Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Sarah Connor and Whitney Houston. Later on, she began expressing her love for music more deeply through the piano. Her enthusiasm for storytelling and music thrived through musical theatre releases, ballads, Disney Songs and Film soundtracks. But it was the moment she witnessed Elton John’s “Aida” musical as a teenager in Stuttgart, Germany that truly solidified her desire to become a singer.  

Her passion for music continued to thrive into adulthood, and after high school she studied Complete Vocal Technique in Copenhagen; learning not only to refine her vocal technique, but also to connect more deeply with her voice, allowing it to grow stronger and more expressive than  ever before.

With school behind her, Erni took time to travel, journeying through places like India, Nepal, and Thailand. At age 20, she eventually settled in the far north of Sweden to study music for a year in the town of Haparanda. Here, her fascination for both the language and the land energized her; an experience that not only shaped her personally, but also helped her grow immensely in musical confidence. Shortly after, Fabienne was accepted at Zurich’s ZHdK where she obtained her master’s degrees in Pop music. It was during her studies here that she met Jonas Wolf, who recognized that she would be an exciting fit for Eluveitie and successfully connected her to the band. She became part of the group not only as a vocalist, but also took up the harp and deepened  both her vocal expression and her connection to the Gaulish language at the heart of the band’s Celtic spirit.

After a warm welcome to the metal scene, Erni formed ILLUMISHADE in 2019 together with her by then close musical sparring partner Jonas Wolf, as well as Mirjam Skal, Yannick Urbanczik,  and Marc Friedrich – three exceptional musicians and close friends she had met during her  studies. In 2020, ILLUMISHADE released their debut album ‘ECLYPTIC: Wake of Shadows’, a  concept record that resonated across the internet with its inspirational music and brought together  both new and familiar listeners, primarily through its visionary sound, but also through the  immersive world it built around it. Since then, ILLUMISHADE has taken their place in the scene,  signing with Napalm Records, and releasing their second album: Another Side of You. Beyond  that, the band continues to captivate global audiences with regular international tours and festival  appearances across Europe and North America.

As Erni manages her time alongside touring the globe with Eluveitie and ILLUMISHADE, she also hosts her own Patreon channel, connecting with a vibrant community of fans worldwide. It’s no surprise that her dedication and musical instinct have led her to explore additional instruments, including the ukulele and bouzouki, while also expanding her vocal skillset with techniques like screaming. Thanks to her distinctive voice and artistic openness, Fabienne has also been invited to contribute to a wide range of musical collaborations, such as with Feuerschwanz, Mortemia, TVINNA, Lindsay Schoolcraft, The Dark Side of the Moon, Temperance, Seas on the Moon and Off the Cross. Together with multi-instrumentalist and producer Vadim ‘Vidick’ Ojog of Infected  Rain, the two expand their creative synergy in a new studio project called MINDNOVA, following  their earlier work on a variety of beautiful tracks for Vidick’s side project ANOTHERKIND.

Having journeyed through a rich and varied musical landscape throughout her life, lending  her voice to countless powerful moments both on stage and in the studio, Erni now stands  at the threshold of a new chapter. For the first time, her most personal artistic vision will  take center stage as she begins shaping her solo debut. A first series of singles is set to  unfold in 2025, with a full album planned for release in 2026. Rooted deeply in her artistic  vision and fiery heart, the songs reflect a diverse and dynamic creative output, through  which she invites the world to explore her own musical universe alongside her.  

What lies ahead is more than just a collection of songs – it is a reflection of Fabienne Erni’s creative essence.

UADA Unveil Cover of Neo-Folk Outfit ROME’s ‘Der Brandtaucher’

Enigmatic black metal masters UADA is now unveiling a haunting version of ROME’s “Der Brandtaucher.” The release comes just before UADA embarks on their next North American journey alongside MORTIIS, in which Jerome Reuter’s ROME will be among the support. The song can be heard now at THIS LOCATION.

‘Interwoven’ will be released on April 10 via Eisenwald Records. The album represents an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of UADA’s discography as well as various covers from the bands who’ve inspired them. ‘Interwoven’ is now available for pre-orders HERE.

UADA comments, “Originally composed by Jerome Reuter and Patrick Damiani, this rendition was the final track chosen for Interwoven. Having followed Rome since 2008’s Masse Mensch Material, “Der Brandtaucher” held deep personal resonance, especially during the most difficult chapter of my life. Its inclusion was not simply artistic – it was necessary.”

In addition, UADA has joined forces with industrial metal artist MORTIIS for a very special co-headliner, featuring exclusive anniversary sets and supporting performances by Jerome Reuter’s ROME and WRAITH KNIGHT. UADA will be performing their seminal 2016 debut album ‘Devoid of Light’ in its entirety + a special CERMONIAL CASTINGS 30-year anniversary set featuring Wraith Knight. In addition, MORTIIS shall be performing songs from his groundbreaking 2001 full-length, ‘The Smell Of Rain,’ along with other volumes of dystopian despair. The full itinerary can be found below while tickets are now available HERE.

Moreover, after much demand from fans, UADA will be returning to Milwaukee Metal Fest for the second time since leaving their mark during the 2024 edition. The festival will take place at The Rave/Eagle’s Club from June 4 – 7, with UADA performing on the 7th. More info and tickets can be found HERE.

“The idea of ‘Interwoven’ – an acoustic journey tracing one song from each chapter of our discography – was first envisioned on the very day UADA was conceived: October 1st, 2014,” says UADA founder and frontman Jake Superchi. “In those early conversations, when laying out the future I sought to create, I recall sharing the concept of a stripped, atmospheric interpretation, supported by the haunting resonance of strings – cello or violin. At the time, the notion was met with skepticism, perhaps even dismissal. Yet it was an idea I knew would one day take form. It had to.”

“UADA has always drawn from a wide spectrum of influences – many of which extend far beyond the traditional boundaries of black metal,” he continues. “With Interwoven, we sought to peel back the layers and reveal the vastness of these realms; to immerse the listener in both the foreign and the familiar, in textures that challenge and comfort in equal measure.”

“More than a sonic experiment, this album was a deliberate act of vulnerability. It was a personal and collective trial – a chance to step outside the acquainted shadows and embrace the uncertain light. The earliest intent was to craft something primitive and ritualistic, echoing the ancestral tones of ancient Pagan folk. Vocally, we anticipated a palette of whispers, chants, and throat singing. There was never a plan to explore clean, melodic singing – until an improvised vocal passage in “Djinn” revealed something unexpected. That unscripted moment sparked the foundation of what would become this album. With the band’s enthusiastic support, the recording process began – without a script, without rehearsal, and with full commitment to spontaneity and truth.”

Recording lineup:
Jake Superchi – All Vocals, Guitars, and Percussion
Nate Verschoor – Bass
Special Guest: C.E. Brown – Cello

Cover Art: Peter Beste

Album Credits:
Engineered and mixed at Obsidian Spells between Summer 2023 and Spring 2024 by Jake Superchi
