Italian Rockers CARILLON Release New Album “2.0”

Andromeda Relix and WANIKIYA RECORD are proud to announce the release of “2.0”, the new album by the Verona-based rock band Carillon, led by vocalist Patty Simon and guitarist Luigi De Stefano.

Carillon, an Italian rock project blending diverse styles and experimentation with a natural inclination toward the mainstream, present their new album which, starting from its title, “2.0”, represents a true artistic and emotional rebirth.

The record features eleven brand-new tracks in which the band tackles contemporary themes such as gender-based violence, lack of communication, and parenthood. The album — whose cover, designed by Kraken Promotion Studio, is unveiled here in preview — is preceded by the single “Sbagliata”, and opens up to a sound that fuses guitar-driven rock with electronic nuances. This is perfectly showcased by the double version of “Il grido e l’odio”, presented both in an electric and a spoken-word rendition, with Patty Simon’s voice layered over the guest keyboards of Klandelion.

Drawing inspiration from acts such as Timoria, Negrita, and elements of symphonic metal rock, “2.0” will be available on all major digital platforms from October 10, while the CD edition is expected to be released by the end of the month. Stay tuned!

Biography

In 2014, Carillon released their debut album “Il grande brivido” through Andromeda Relix, earning significant recognition within the Italian rock scene.

Five years later, they released “Rumore e silenzio” on digital platforms, marking a clear artistic evolution. The album, consisting of eight tracks and recorded at Le Ombre Studio in Milan under the artistic supervision of Lele Battista and promoted by Music Alive, received wide acclaim from the Italian music press.

In 2021, Carillon represented the Veneto region on the stage of the Teatro Ariston during the 34th edition of Sanremo Rock, after winning the regional selections. The following year, they returned to the Ariston for the 35th edition, presenting their new single “Il tempo all’infinito”, produced by Istintomusic and included in the physical CD release “Rumore e silenzio – Special Edition”.

Also in 2022, Carillon competed in the Vicenza Rock Contest, reaching the grand final in October where they won “Best Verona Band”, as well as two additional awards: “Radio Voice Award” and “Second Place – Best Female Vocalist” for Patty Simon.

In 2024, following the digital and YouTube release of their new single “Sbagliata”, Carillon — joined live by two session musicians on bass and drums — recorded their latest album “2.0”. This release marks the official collaboration between Andromeda Relix and Wanikiya Record, with the latter also handling the promotional campaign.

WARRANT Drop New Single And Video ‘Demons’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 12, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: WARRANT. Leave a comment

German speed/heavy metal pioneers WARRANT return with the new single and video “Demons” — a dark, razor-edged assault where cutting riffs, relentless drums and a searing vocal performance give voice to uncompromising inner conflict.

The band describe it as:

“A furious outcry against inner emptiness and mental torment. Torn apart by demons, trapped inside a twisted mind – this song hits hard and shatters any illusion of comfort. No salvation. No angels. Just pain, rage, and one final scream for redemption. A dark anthem for a world in free fall. The song calls out hypocrisy, hatred, and betrayal. It’s the uprising of one against lies and collapse. No peace, no forgiveness — just fire, revenge, and a final attempt to turn the tide before everything goes down.”

After eleven long years, German speed heavy metal pioneers WARRANT return with their long-awaited new studio album, “The Speed Of Metal”, set for release on October 24, 2025 via Massacre Records.

Pre-order/pre-save the album HERE: https://save-it.cc/massacre/the-speed-of-metal

The legendary band – originally formed in 1983 and known for their cult albums “First Strike” (1984) and “The Enforcer” (1985) – are back with a record which reconnects with their roots while pushing their sound into the present.

Recorded and mixed by Martin Buchwalter at Gernhart Studios (Troisdorf), mastered by Michael Schwabe at Monoposto (Düsseldorf), and featuring cover artwork by renowned artist Gyula Havancsak, the album captures WARRANT’s uncompromising vision with power and precision. Produced by frontman Jörg Juraschek, the record also features pre-production by Norman Jonas.

Alongside brand-new material, “The Speed Of Metal” includes two special highlights: “It’s Up to You” – originally written in 1988, re-recorded and reborn with new energy – and “Windy City” – a powerful cover of a song by glam legends The Sweet, a lifelong dream of vocalist/bassist Juraschek.

With the addition of guitarist Adrian Weiss alongside longtime member Michael Dietz, WARRANT return to their classic four-piece lineup, delivering a wall of dual-guitar power, blistering solos, and relentless speed.

INHUMAN Unveil Second Single And Video ‘To Reign in Captivity’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 12, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: INHUMAN. Leave a comment

Portuguese gothic metal veterans INHUMAN continue the path towards their highly anticipated new album, “GLORIÆ”, set for release on November 7 via Alma Mater Records, with the launch of their intense second single “To Reign in Captivity”. The album is available for pre-order HERE

Accompanied by a visually striking new music video, the track dives deeper into the thematic core of “GLORIÆ”: personal struggle, resilience, and the duality between glory and defeat. Sonically rich and emotionally charged, the track showcases the band’s signature blend of gothic atmospheres, melodic heaviness, and poetic lyricism.

Stream “To Reign in Captivity” HERE

“We’re thrilled to unveil our brand new video for ‘To Reign in Captivity’, taken from our upcoming album GLORIÆ“, the band shares. “This song reflects on the inner conflict between confinement and transcendence – the struggle to maintain sovereignty over oneself while facing the weight of isolation and despair. It’s one of the most powerful and emotional tracks we’ve ever created, capturing the very essence of GLORIÆ. The stage has been silent for too long. Its absence lingers like a shadow – and we ache to return to the place that keeps our hearts beating. Thank you for walking this path with us. Turn the volume up, dive into the video, and let To Reign in Captivity speak for itself. See you all soon – stronger, louder, and together again.“

“GLORIÆ” will be released worldwide on November 7, 2025, through Alma Mater Records, the independent label founded by Fernando Ribeiro of Moonspell. 

Inspired by the Latin phrase for “of glory,” “GLORIÆ” is INHUMAN‘s most mature and daring album to date. Written during a challenging period for the band and once again produced by Daniel Cardoso, the new work delves deeply into themes of personal growth, overcoming obstacles, and self-discovery.

Lyrically, the album uses the concept of glory – and its absence – as a metaphor for personal struggles and triumphs. The band has also embraced a minimalist visual aesthetic, focusing on the interplay of presence and absence to invite listeners to interpret the subjective nature of glory.

Tracklist:

  1. Absent Glory
  2. Conspiratio
  3. Seed of Ancient Hate
  4. To Reign In Captivity
  5. Illuminate the Pain
  6. Semblance of Reality
  7. Overgone
  8. The Dreariest One
  9. Do Fim dos Dias
  10. Visionary State

Furthermore, to mark the release of “GLORIÆ”, INHUMAN will perform live at the first edition of Alma Mater Nights, a special label-curated event taking place on December 12 at República da Música in Lisbon.

Sharing the stage with labelmates Glasya, who will also present their new album “Fear”, the evening promises a celebration of Portuguese metal at its most authentic and powerful. The night will conclude with a special DJ set by FernandoMoon (Moonspell). Tickets are available HERE

INHUMAN are:
Pedro Garcia – Vocals
João Pedro Correia – Guitars
Guilherme Garboa – Bass
Ruben Patrício – Drums

LYNCH MOB Announce Farewell Album “Dancing With The Devil”, Out November 28th

Legendary hard rock titans LYNCH MOB are set to release their highly anticipated ninth and final full length studio album “Dancing With The Devil” on November 28, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl, marking the final chapter in their storied career.

Pre-Order “Dancing With The Devil” HERE

To mark the announcement, the band share the title track, along with an official visualizer, available below.

George Lynch commented: “All the other records of done in my life led me to this one. “Dancing With With The Devil” is pretty much my magnum opus and swan song.”

The album follows the success of their previous effort “Babylon” and showcases elements of classic Lynch Mob with a modern edge, fusing hard rock, blues, and soulful grooves with an unmistakable passion and energy. 

“We’ve always been about pushing boundaries and staying true to the fans”, said George Lynch, the band’s legendary guitarist and founding member. “This new album is a reflection of where we are now, both as individuals and as a band. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the years and poured it into these songs”.

With “Dancing With The Devil”, legendary guitarist George Lynch and his band Lynch Mob deliver a bold and uncompromising last word, a completion of the musical legacy, closing the curtain on a storied chapter in American hard rock history. This album marks the band’s definitive farewell, following the conclusion of all touring and live activity – a fitting final act from a group whose impact on the genre has been both lasting and influential.

Sonically, “Dancing With The Devil” revisits the classic Lynch Mob sound: a potent mix of blues-based hard rock, razor-sharp guitar work, and soulful vocals, delivered with the swagger and confidence of a band that has nothing left to prove. Fans of the early Wicked Sensation era will find familiar fire here – but with a modern edge that reflects decades of evolution and road-tested chemistry.

Reuniting the same lineup that lit up 2023’s “Babylon” – vocalist Gabriel Colón, bassist Jaron Gulino, drummer Jimmy D’Anda, and Lynch himself – this final studio effort captures the chemistry of a band playing at full force. 

Together, they’ve crafted a collection that balances raw intensity with veteran finesse, all under the expert guidance of producer and mixing engineer Chris Collier (known for his work with KXM, Prong, Joel Hoekstra’s 13). Collier’s production brings clarity and punch, allowing the band’s dynamic interplay and Lynch’s signature tone to shine through every track.

As a special bonus for European fans, this edition of the album includes the exclusive track “Somewhere”, not available on the U.S. version – a parting gift to a fanbase that has supported the band throughout their journey.

“Dancing With The Devil” isn’t just another release – it’s a farewell with force, a record that honors the past while asserting the band’s place in rock history one final time. For Lynch Mob, the devil may have had the last dance… but they set the floor on fire.

“Dancing With The Devil” Tracklist:

1.    Dancing With The Devil    
2.    Pictures Of The Dead    
3.    Saints And Sinners    
4.    Lift Up Your Soul    
5.    Love In Denial    
6.    Machine Bone    
7.    Follow Me Down    
8.    Golden Mirror    
9.    Sea Of Stones    
10.    The Stranger
11.    Somewhere (Bonus Track)

Line Up:
George Lynch – guitars

Jaron Gulino – bass

Italian Atmospheric Post-Black Metallers SEDNA Announce New Album “Sila Nuna”, Out November 21st

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 12, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SEDNA. Leave a comment

After years of steady evolution, SEDNA return with a new, monumental chapter: “Sila Nuna”, out on November 21st, 2025 via Dusktone.

The first single “Amarok”, featuring Giò of PSYCHONAUT 4 on guitar, is now streaming HERE.

The Cesena-based band, known for its introspective nature and a discography steeped in darkness and intensity, continues to follow a coherent path of growth, distant from trends, deadlines, and external expectations. Since their inception, the group has always taken the necessary time to create music that feels authentic, essential, and deeply lived.

“Sila Nuna” is a compound word of Inuktitut origin meaning “Sky and Earth.” With this new album, SEDNA move away from the mythological and astronomical themes explored in their previous four records to delve into Inuit mythology, narrating myths and legends from the peoples of the ice. From Tulugaq, the Raven god and bringer of light, to Amarok, the shadow wolf who guards the forest, to Torngarsuk, the protector of the spirit realm, passing through Arnajuinnaq, goddess of wind and ice, and finally reaching Sedna, the goddess of the sea.

With this record, the band embraces a more violent and aggressive sound, shortening song lengths to achieve a sharper, more immediate impact on the listener, while still preserving their experimental vein. This approach reaches its peak in the closing track “Sedna”, dedicated to the sea goddess and featuring S. D. Ramirez of PSYCHONAUT 4 and Agnese Alteri as guest vocalists.

The creation of “Sila Nuna” was marked by a long and turbulent process, spanning nearly two years and involving multiple lineup changes due to the accumulated stress of finding the right sound to embody such a complex thematic concept. The band regards this release as a turning point, both professionally and stylistically, aiming for a less instinctive yet more pragmatic, precise, and refined approach – a sign of human and artistic maturity for the project.

The album was recorded by Mirko Abà in Ravenna (guitarist of Stygian and now bassist of SEDNA) and mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley, “Sila Nuna”.

Tracklist:

1 Niruaq
2 Torngarsuk
3 (Qimmuktuq I)
4 Amarok (feat. Giò from P4)
5 (Qimmukruq II)
6 Tulugaq
7 (Qimmuktuq III)
8 Arnajuinnaq
9 (Qimmuktuq IV)
10 SednA (feat. Shoco from P4 and Agnese Alteri)

With this work, SEDNA reach a new synthesis of their sonic language. The album reveals a sound that is raw and instinctive yet more self-aware, one that merges the ferocity of black metal and the weight of sludge and post-metal with a refined melodic sensibility. It is an album that feels like both an open wound and a catharsis: visceral, direct, yet contemplative and profoundly human.

While atmospheric black metal remains the most accurate label, to confine SEDNA within a single genre would be limiting. Their music is made of nuances and deviations, a sonic flow that crosses darkness in search of balance between aggression and introspection. “Sila Nuna” stands as the testimony of a fully matured vision, from a band that has learned to turn chaos into form and tension into language.

With this new chapter, SEDNA reaffirm their nature as an ever-evolving entity, capable of introspection and of offering the world music that doesn’t seek answers, but digs deeper questions.

Album line-up:

Alex Crisafulli – Vocals/Guitar
Rolando Giulio Ferro – Drums
Edoardo Martinelli – Vocals/Bass
Fabion Dautaj – Guitar

Current line-up:

Alex Crisafulli – Vocals/Guitar
Rolando Giulio Ferro – Drums
Mirko Abà – Guitar
Lucio Minghetti – Guitar
