No Clean Singing is hosting the exclusive full album premiere of “Beneath”, the long-awaited new opus from GOATPSALM.
Set for international release on April 10th via Aesthetic Death, the record marks a decisive return after a decade of silence, offering a deep immersion into the band’s evolving ritualistic sound.
Embrace the ritual and stream “Beneath” at THIS LOCATION.
It has been a full decade since GOATPSALM‘s last full length, the highly acclaimed “Downstream” – a decade plighted by personal issues, creative block and…..just life.
Whilst, at times, it seemed that a new GOATPSALM album might never arrive. Through sheer stubborn determination it is here – and is more than worth the wait.
The band have constantly evolved – moving from the industrial electroambient of “Sonic Desterilization of Light” (2012), the blackened chaos of “Erset La Tari” (2012), or the funeral ambient doom leanings of “Downstream” (2016).
“Beneath” is no exception, crafting their strongest material to date within an obscure ritual trance. Forging an album that is built from their past but evolves into new sounds – falling somewhere within sounds of ethnic, ritual, trance-like doom metal.
But, be certain, GOATPSALM have a unique sound and approach – servants to nobody.
Embrace the ritual.

Spearheading the upcoming release of ARTILLERY’s brand new MLP “Made In Hell”, comes the explosive title track’s new official video. A ferocious, politically charged anthem that revisits the spirit of “Bombfood” while delivering a darker, more reflective take on humanity’s endless cycle of war and self-destruction. Razor-sharp riffs, relentless energy and a haunting thematic core make “Made in Hell” a powerful statement from a band still pushing the boundaries of thrash metal.
Join the premiering here:
Danish thrash metal pioneers Artillery return to Mighty Music with the highly-anticipated mini-album “Made in Hell”. The release – available on vinyl (two color variants), CD and digital formats – features brand-new material alongside exclusive recordings, mixed by Benjamin Højer at Medley Studio and with drums tracked by Marco Angioni at Angioni Studio.
“We are very excited to present new Artillery music with the mini-album “Made in Hell””, says founding guitarist Michael Stützer. “With new vocalist Martin Steene and guitarist René Loua on board, we look forward to hearing the reactions to the new songs. With many festivals, tours and a new release ahead, the future looks very promising”.
The EP contains two brand-new tracks, “Made in Hell” and “Ghost in the Machine”, plus a re-recorded version of “Into the Universe” originally appearing on the classic album “Fear of Tomorrow”, and a live rendition of the 1985 classic “The Almighty”, recorded during the 2024 Metalized tour at Gimle, in Roskilde.
The band previously collaborated with Mighty Music on the releases ”Deadly Relics”, “In The Thrash” and the live album “Raw Live (At Copenhell). In 2025 alone, Artillery performed more than 70 concerts worldwide, including extensive touring across Asia.
Formed in 1982 in Taastrup, Artillery remain one of the defining names of European thrash metal, renowned for their razor-sharp riffing, technical precision and enduring influence on the genre.
“Made In Hell” will be released on MLP (black vinyl and red vinyl, with the latter being limited to 300 copies), digipack CD and digital formats on 15.05.2026, via Mighty Music.

“Mutilated Corpse In The Woods” is the newest single from American death metal legends SIX FEET UNDER. The track appears on their forthcoming new full-length, Next To Die, set for release on April 24th via Metal Blade Records.
Comments guitarist Jack Owen, “This song started when my wife and I were in an antique store and she found an amber quartz pendant that had lines through the whole thing. I asked her what it was and she said it’s a Rutilated Quartz. Well, that’s all I needed for a title and some lyrical ideas. The chorus came easy. The verses were from a true crime show where a woman described being attacked by an assailant who tied her to a tree and slit her throat. She couldn’t speak or scream. In real life she survived the attack, telling her story with a giant scar across her throat. In this song, unfortunately she did not survive… My killer buried her where she will never be found. I wrote the music from scratch around the lyrical ideas.”

Next To Die marks a new creative high for SIX FEET UNDER, its dozen songs marking the band’s fifteenth album since 1995’s Haunted. The record is essentially broken down into two different sides – Death and Groove – resulting in an aural masterwork that satisfies SIX FEET UNDER as artists, while also offering something for every fan. To bring the songs to brutal life, vocalist Chris Barnes recorded his vocals at the legendary Criteria Recording Studios in Miami. “I’ve recorded 90% of my vocals for SIX FEET UNDER there with my longtime friend and engineer Chris Carroll,” says Barnes. “Criteria has a long and rich history of recording some of the most famous and important albums in the history of music. I feel very comfortable working there.”
Produced by Owens and Barnes and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis of MRL Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, Next To Die follows 2024’s Killing For Revenge and is the third record that Barnes and Owen have created together since reuniting in 2017.
Barnes titled the record after the song “Next to Die,” as it “best represents what is contained within the ideas/storylines of the lyrics of each song. We don’t discuss lyrical themes, we each write what we’re feeling and find interesting.” The frontman urges close listening, saying, “that’s the great thing about music and art and reading. It takes you on an exploration into your own imagination, and that personal experience lets you discover what you think the meaning is. Having someone tell you what it means takes away that magic.”
SIX FEET UNDER was initially formed as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse. It became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. The current lineup of Barnes, Owen, lead guitarist Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella make for a devastating unit.
Next To Die features the cover art of Sandy Rezalmi and will be released on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in various color variants.
SIX FEET UNDER will return to European stages this June with support from Embryonic Autopsy. In July, the band will kick off a North American headlining tour with support from Kataklysm and Wormhole.

LORD OF THE LOST show their emotional side and present the final video of the OPVS NOIR trilogy with the music video for their single “The Days Of Our Lives”, unveiled today. With the release of OPVS NOIR Vol. 3this Friday, April 10, the band concludes the album trilogy that began in the summer of 2025. “The Days Of Our Lives” is a soulful and seemingly hopeless ballad, situated somewhere between a soundtrack and cold electronica, and, as the closing track, serves as the curtain call for the entire work.
With nearly half a million listeners on Spotify, their appearance at the Eurovision final in 2023, followed by a number-one album and international tours with Iron Maiden, LORD OF THE LOST are proving themselves to be one of the most exciting and successful acts on the scene right now. OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 represents the creative peak of a band whose repertoire leaves no room for stagnation. The year started with shows in the USA, Canada, and Australia, and now continues with a headline run across Europe. All tour dates are noted below.
The most out-of-the-box of the full album trilogy, OPVS NOIR Vol. 3, the third and final chapter of LORD OF THE LOST’s latest journey, sees the six-piece close this era on a fulminant high note, intertwining heavy guitars and dark electronica with compassionate messages and cinematic orchestrations. It continues to push the band’s unpredictable path without settling for the familiar. Rounding off this impressive work, the album takes listeners by the hand and guides them through their darkest paths.
Get your copy of OPVS NOIR Vol. 3 NOW – first formats are already sold out!
Following the captivating BLOOD & GLITTER, which brought them to the grand final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 and a #1 chart entry in their native Germany to go along with it, LORD OF THE LOST once again demonstrate their unmatched diversity on OPVS NOIR Vol. 3. Initiated by beautiful cello melodies, “Kill The Lights” is an overture like no other, setting a dark mood, but also unafraid to switch it up to make room for catchy and reassuring “I’m A Diamond”. Stomping “I Hate People” invites horror punk icon WEDNESDAY 13 to an industrial duet about equality, after which gentle “The Shadows Within” hits twice as hard with its symphonic arrangement.
Next, Chris Harms and parting KISSIN’ DYNAMITE frontman Hannes Braun deliver “La Vie Est Hell”, before going back to “Square One”. “When Did The Love Break?” is a heartfelt song of lost love – the addition of whimsical vocals by Ambre Vourvahis of XANDRIA drives the emotions of this universal topic right home. After “Your Love Is Colder Than Death”, LORD OF THE LOST team up with Damien Edwards of British glam rock band CATS IN SPACE for the captivating duet “Take Me Far Away”, before the album closes with a ballad, “The Days Of Our Lives” – the sweeping track simultaneously being the closest LORD OF THE LOST have ever been to a cinematic soundtrack. The happy ending is skipped, almost making it sound like a goodbye…
OPVS NOIR Vol. 3: the trilogy is finally concluded.

In the heat of summer, SOLACE will return with their massively anticipated fifth full-length “Fading Failing Ruin” on July 3, 2026, via Magnetic Eye Records. The iconic self-styled dirt metal act from New Jersey, USA begin by revealing the single‘Beyond Below‘ as a first welcome taste of the album to come.Pre-orders are now availableHERE
In advance of the album release, SOLACE will pack new songs and classics into their flight cases and embark on a European tour starting on May 7, 2026 in the French capital city of Paris. Please find the album details of “Fading Falling Ruin” and all currently confirmed live datesbelow.
SOLACE comment on ‘Beyond Below’: “When we released our last record ‘The Brink’, I swore it wouldn’t take another nine years till the next one“, guitarist Tommy Southard admits. “Well, it took us six and a half, which for Solace is pretty good! About the first single, I had a couple of riffs that Timmy and I used to play years and years ago in the pre-Godspeed days. Last year at a Solace practice, I started jamming one of the riffs as a goof to Timmy and Justin heard it and asked me: ‘What the hell is that man? That needs to go on the new record!’ At first, I laughed it off, because I had been a 14-year old metalhead when I wrote this tune, but once we tweaked it a bit – Mikey threw a part in the middle and we worked it into a complete song – it was obvious that it was going to turn into a monster. The track came out pretty amazing considering how far back in the archive it went, but that’s the perks of doing this your whole damn life. I can hardly believe it’s been 30 years since I started this band. Yet Solace is still here somehow, and ‘Fading Failing Ruin’ is the best thing we’ve ever musically done. Literally everybody in this band played and worked their asses off for this record!“

SOLACE deliver their fifth studio album “Fading Failing Ruin” just in time to celebrate the anniversary of their 30th year as a band. And all the heaviness, experience, and obvious maturity of their songwriting across three decades is perfectly reflected in the seeming ease with which these master craftsmen hammer out one captivating and crushing track after the other.
Revolving around apocalyptic, infernal, and end time themes that easily fit this day and age, “Fading Failing Ruin” nails the current global mood by taking a strong dose of inspiration from the earliest days of metal and blending it with contemporary heaviness.
A direct link goes back to 1996, when SOLACE rose from the ashes of GODSPEED, who made their name on Headbanger’s Ball and Beavis & Butthead, appeared on the “Nativity in Black” tribute backing Bruce Dickinson, and toured with CATHEDRAL and BLACK SABBATH. Emerging at the dawn of the internet and the burgeoning stoner rock scene, SOLACE were driven by hardcore-infused metal, captivating vocals, and a dark doom underbelly.
The New Jersey band hit the scene with their ferocious debut “Further” in 2000. Its tracks remain as contemporary and relevant as in those early days, and an extended and re-mastered 25th anniversary edition became an unplanned but much deserved tribute to brilliant yet tortured original SOLACE vocalist Jason L., who had sadly passed away in January 2025.
SOLACE continued to build on a solid foundation of classic metal, early doom, and punk ethic into which the four-piece infused a healthy dose of hardcore fury and groovy, grinding sludge.
Three years after the worldwide success of “Further”, SOLACE returned with the sophomore album “13” (2003), which highlighted the epic side of their songwriting. In the wake of this album, the band was invited twice to perform at the prestigious Roadburn Festival in 2006 and 2009.
The shoremen returned with their highly praised third album “A.D.” in 2010. Despite the band’s growing acclaim, SOLACE took an informal hiatus to revamp their lineup, returning even stronger with full-length number four, “The Brink”, in 2019.
SOLACE have called their amalgamation of doom and heavy metal with hardcore elements dirt metal, while elsewhere it has been somewhat tongue-in-cheekily dubbed shorecore. Others file the New Jersey five-piece under stoner metal – and in truth, all these descriptions have and still fit the band to an extent.
With “Fading Failing Ruin”, SOLACE erect a new milestone of US heavy metal that respects traditions from both sides of the Atlantic while churning toward a chaotic future. Time to bang those heads!

On October 31, black metal history will be written in Oslo. For one night only, three of Norway’s most influential and globally revered bands – Dimmu Borgir, Satyricon and Enslaved – will unite at Oslo Spektrum for a landmark event set to become the biggest black metal show ever staged on Norwegian soil.
Tickets go on sale Friday April 10th 10:00 CET HERE
Few genres have had the global cultural impact of Norwegian black metal – and today, its dominance is undeniable. From headlining Europe’s premier festivals to selling out venues worldwide, Norwegian acts continue to define and push the genre forward. UNHOLY HALLOWEEN brings together three of its most pioneering forces for an exclusive, once-in-a-generation celebration of the scene’s past, present and future.
Each band arrives at this moment at the height of its powers. Dimmu Borgir recently headlined Tons of Rock, Satyricon has sold out the Oslo Opera House and delivered a critically acclaimed commission for the Munch Museum, while Enslaved continues to redefine the genre – earning multiple Norwegian Grammy Awards for their groundbreaking work. For Dimmu Borgir, the night also marks a long-awaited homecoming. It has been 15 years since their last headline show in Oslo – a landmark performance with the Norwegian Radio Orchestra at the very same venue.
“We’re releasing our new album Grand Serpent Rising this spring, followed by extensive touring across Europe and other markets. By the time we return to Norway, we’ll be ready to deliver something truly massive. Since it’s been so long since our last headline show at home, we’re going all in. This will be the biggest Dimmu Borgir production to date,” says vocalist Shagrath.
“It’s been over 20 years since I first explored the idea of bringing together some of the giants of Norwegian black metal on the biggest stages in Europe. We never made it happen back then. Now, two decades later, it’s finally becoming a reality – and on a scale beyond anything we imagined. This will be our Super Bowl,” says Sigurd Wongraven (Satyricon).
“We are very excited about being invited to be part of this massive endeavour; which will celebrate the leading edge of Norwegian Metal on the appropriate scale! We will bring our best game as always… and then some!”, compliments Enslaved’s Ivar Bjørnson.
Guitarist Silenoz emphasizes the broader significance of the event: “This is more than a concert – it’s a statement. A celebration of a culture we’ve helped build over decades. Sharing the stage at Oslo Spektrum with bands that have been part of that same journey feels both significant and necessary.”
