EVIL SCARECROW’s New Album “Silicon Tea” Out Now

Evil Scarecrow triumphantly return with their 5th studio album “Silicon Tea“.

We live in turbulent times where what we need more than ever is a bit of light entertainment, but even Evil Scarecrow can’t fail to address some of the more serious issues of the moment, be it our inadvertent servitude to corporate overlords, or the likelihood of Armageddon being kickstarted by a failure to update software. However, they also bring your attention back to the more fundamental problems of daily life, like bad weather at festivals and the challenge of trying to figure out which of your bins is supposed to be put out this week.

Dr Hell comments: “We really wanted to write an album that brings together our varied tastes and love for heavy music. We have leaned into pop punk with “Green Bin Day”, rewound to the 80s with “The Future Machine”, and god only knows what genre “Welly in the Mud” is… Brown Metal? I dunno. Anyway, we hope there is something for everyone, or nothing for no-one, or everything for one very weird person. But it’s an album that we, as a band, are very proud of.”

STONETRIP Release New Single And Video ‘Postcards’

Melbourne hard rock outfit Stonetrip are back with their brand-new single ‘Postcards’, out now via Golden Robot Records.

The band comments: “Postcards” is a heartfelt reflection on love and distance – a story rooted in a time before mobile phones and social media, when couples relied on handwritten postcards to bridge the gap. The song captures the raw emotion of long-distance relationships and the heartbreak of breakups carried out across miles. Without face-to-face connection or eye contact, all that’s left is brutal honesty from afar, the words that sometimes get lost along the way. The making of the song included the whole band. We all went into the studio as a band to create our parts. Ricki Rae (producer) who knows our signature sound is a great influence in how the song ends up sounding. The video was made with the help of two great actors up in the hills of Olinda, Melbourne, Australia. It was the first time we storyboard the video clip. We usually just wing it. It tells the song perfectly.”

Combining Stonetrip’s trademark power, soaring hooks, and emotional grit, ‘Postcards’ is both nostalgic and strikingly relevant. It showcases the band’s ability to fuse hard rock energy with vulnerability, making it one of their most poignant releases to date. With their reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting rock acts continuing to grow, Stonetrip are proving once again that their music resonates deeply with fans across generations.

Hailing from Melbourne, Stonetrip are a powerhouse rock outfit bringing raw energy, heartfelt storytelling, and stadium-worthy hooks to the modern hard rock scene. With a sound that fuses classic rock grit with a fresh, contemporary edge, the band have carved out a reputation as one of Australia’s most exciting rising acts. Formed out of a shared passion for timeless rock ’n’ roll, they hit the ground running with explosive live performances that quickly won them a loyal following. Their music blends driving riffs, soaring melodies, and anthemic choruses, echoing influences from the greats while forging their own unmistakable style.

Since their debut, Stonetrip have continued to build momentum with a string of dynamic singles and their critically acclaimed self-titled EP, released through Golden Robot Records. Tracks like ‘Runaway’, ‘Sideways’, and ‘Nightmare’ showcase the band’s ability to balance hard-hitting intensity with moments of vulnerability and soul. On stage, Stonetrip are relentless. Their shows deliver the kind of sweat-soaked, high-voltage rock experience that reminds audiences why live music matters. Whether playing intimate club gigs or supporting major touring acts, the band consistently leave a lasting impression.

With new music on the horizon and a growing international fanbase, Stonetrip are proving that Australian rock is alive, loud, and ready to take on the world.

SERAINA TELLI Presents Video for New Single ‘Let It All Out’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 1, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SERAINA TELLI. Leave a comment

SERAINA TELLI presents the official video for her new single ‘Let It All Out’. The song is taken from the upcoming studio album ‘Green’ which will be released on 24 October on Metalville.

Get ready for a whole new side of SERAINA TELLI!  “Let It All Out”, the new single from her upcoming album “Green”, is a bold and electrifying anthem of self-expression. With raw energy and an unstoppable groove, the artist encourages you to freely speak your mind, never hold back the truth and show your true colors.

With this track, SERAINA TELLI unveils a completely new facet of her songwriting skills, proving once again that she is a true songwriter from the heart. “Let It All Out” is more than just a song – it’s a powerful statement about believing in yourself, opening your eyes and mind, and embracing your truth.

 Turn up the volume and let it all out!

With her new album “Green”, Swiss artist SERAINA TELLI unveils a bold musical evolution – personal, clear, and conceptually ambitious. The title is no coincidence: “Music appears in colors to me – and Green is the first color in a larger project,” she explains. Thematically, the album revolves around responsibility – to others, the environment, and oneself.

Musically, “Green” explores new territory, featuring more electronic elements and a deliberate move away from traditional rock arrangements. Telli’s songwriting takes center stage, supported by producer Rico Horber. The result is a collection of diverse, emotionally rich tracks that blend pop, alternative Rock, and balladic depth combined with Telli’s crisp and distinctive sound.

Her lyrics span from social commentary (“Consequences”) to deeply personal reflections (“Gold”) and empowering anthems like “Let It All Out”, which call for self-expression and authenticity. Telli presents herself more vulnerably than ever – showing that true strength often lies in openness.

“Green” marks the beginning of a new creative chapter – a statement for more depth, consciousness, and sincerity in modern music.

UNDER BLACK SKY Release New Single ‘I’ll Show You’

Rising dark rock force Under Black Sky has released their latest single, “I’ll Show You,” now available on all major platforms. The track comes ahead of the band’s highly anticipated full-length album, Bad Blood, set for release on October 24, 2025.

STREAM “I’ll Show You”: https://hypeddit.com/underblacksky/illshowyou

“This song is about defiance. It’s about staring down the weight of doubt, betrayal, and every voice that said you’d never make it — and answering with fire. ‘I’ll Show You’ is our battle cry, not just for us, but for anyone who’s ever been underestimated. It’s proof that scars don’t define you… they sharpen you,” shares the band.

In addition to the new single, Under Black Sky has announced their upcoming fall tour, The Undead Road Show. The run kicks off October 22, 2025, in San Antonio, TX, bringing the band’s hauntingly powerful live performance to fans across the U.S.

The Undead Road Show Dates:

Oct 22 @ The Starlighter in San Antonio, TX
Oct 23 @ Scout Bar in Houston, TX
Oct 24 @ House of Rock in Corpus Christi, TX
Oct 25 @ The Flying Walrus in McAllen, TX
Oct 26 @ Come and Take It Live in Austin, TX

UNDER BLACK SKY: THE NARRATIVE

“You are not alone. The sky has cracked. The blood remembers.”

The world was once bright — but the light was a lie.

Centuries ago, a secret Order vanished beneath the surface of history, burying knowledge too dangerous for the world above. This Order — now known only in whispers as The Order

Beneath — kept one truth sealed: that some voices are not born, but summoned… when the world turns on itself.

Now, the sky has cracked. From the fracture, sound bleeds through. Not music — a signal. A call.

Four souls answered.

They were not chosen. They were claimed.

Marked by pain. Branded by betrayal. Broken by a system that promised dreams and delivered chains. But from the ruins of their pasts, each one emerged transformed — avatars of chaos and clarity, shadow and scream. Not men. Not monsters. Something in between.

They are known only by their roles:

  • KRYSIS – The Prophet — voice of the unspeakable. (Vocals)
  • BEAST – The Executioner — fury without apology. (Drums)
  • ONYX – The Seer — eyes that pierce the veil. (Guitar)
  • JAXX – The Redeemer — bearer of the final key. (Bass Guitar)

Together, they are Under Black Sky — not a band, but a reckoning.

Their debut transmission, Bad Blood, is more than an album. It is the first chapter of an

awakening. Each track unlocks another sigil in the codex. Another fragment of the truth long buried. As their presence spreads, so too does the influence of the Order Beneath.

Those who hear the message begin to change.

Reality glitches. Symbols surface in dreams. Crimson keys appear. Shattered glass reveals

hidden figures. A storm begins to churn within them — not of fear, but of defiance.

And then they know:

They are not alone.

The purge has begun.

And Under Black Sky is leading the charge.

Finntroll Frontman Mathias ‘Vreth’ Lillmåns Releases Long-Lost Tracks from His Formative Years

Mathias Lillmåns, known for his work with Finntroll and numerous other projects, celebrates 30 years in metal with The Degenerate Years. LISTEN HERE. The 3-track EP, released September 26 under his solo monicker Lillmåns via Finnish independent label Stormbound Records, follows last month’s Twilight Moon – The Forgotten Recordings and continues an ongoing series of archival releases.

Degenerate represented a shift in intensity and ambition from Lillmåns’ earlier bands. “Degenerate is where it all got real,” he recalls. “The band had fast picking, progressive rhythms, elaborate guitar solos and melodies, and a groove and drive I had never experienced before first hand.” Recorded in 2002 during his first year studying sound engineering, the tracks capture both a young band pushing boundaries and Lillmåns’ earliest attempts at working in a recording studio environment. “The songs Blinded and Displacement are from that session, my first ever recording of a full band in a professional studio,” he explains. Aside from handling the recording duties, Lillmåns played the bass and sang backing vocals, while lead vocals were taken care of by Jakob Ericsson.

With The Degenerate Years and Twilight Moon – The Forgotten Recordings, Lillmåns lays the groundwork for a full-length retrospective album, bringing together rare and previously unheard material spanning three decades of metal history.

Remixed and remastered by Owe Inborr at Wolfthrone Studios, The Degenerate Years was released on September 26 on all major streaming platforms via Stormbound Records.

BLUTGOTT Release New Single ‘Demonslayer’, Feat. Tim “Ripper” Owens

Posted by tarjavirmakari on October 1, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BLUTGOTT. Leave a comment

A Heavy Metal anthem of the battle of righteous dragon angels and the savage demons of Hell Featuring the legendary Tim “Ripper” Owens – the powerhouse voice behind Judas Priest’s Jugulator, Demolition, and ’98 Live Meltdown – delivering vocals with unrelenting fury.

The song is taken from the upcoming BLUTGOTT studio album ‘Legions Of Metal’ which will be released on 10.10.2025.

The first dragons arose in Eden, born of purity and flame. They were bound to the righteous, radiant in their majesty, and so the world named them Dragon Angels. As the Firstborn they walked before all others, shaping the destiny of elves, teaching wisdom, and forging the foundations of Eden’s culture and civilization. Among them stand the Dragon Gods, beings of unfathomable might, guardians of elves and all righteous souls. Their sovereign rules from the blazing Throne of Fire, and his host is known as the Demonslayers.

Around the Fire Throne, a thousand dragons clad in biomechanical armor stand eternal vigil. Their bodies are living fortresses: impervious to flame, resistant to mortal weapons, and armed with the devastating firepower of entire armies. Their wings created out of razor-edged dragonsteel. True flight is granted by the surging plasma coursing through their draconic forms. To those who look upon them from afar, they streak across the heavens like meteors – celestial harbingers of wrath. When they descend, they fall like burning stars, unleashing storms of dragonfire and salvos of weapons that lay waste to all who stand against them.

Yet even in the crucible of close combat, their fury does not wane. Many Demonslayers bear enchanted blades etched with runes of banishment and death, each stroke a doom to demonkind. These weapons lie hidden within their very flesh, merging with scale and sinew, called forth only when the moment demands. Then, from within their titanic bodies, the swords ignite into form – gleaming, rune-lit, and thirsty for the blood of abominations.

THE BLUTGOTT METAL UNIVERSE  – Dark Fantasy Metal. There is no political or socio-critical message.

DEBAUCHERY – Death Metal Voice
BLOOD GOD – Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Vocals
BALGEROTH – German Lyrics

It’s not a band, it’s a universe. The BLUTGOTT Metal Universe, consisting of Debauchery, Blood God and Balgeroth.

20 Years of Monsters and Metal. Somewhere in between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein and Bolt Thrower. 20 albums with over 40 CDs.

The lyrics are about the own dark fantasy world, the World of Blood Gods. Blood Gods are brutal demonic vampire dragons.

There are miniatures, a tabletop wargame, books and artworks.

Concerts of the various incarnations of the BLUTGOTT Metal Universe have been held throughout Europe, Russia and Asia. The draconic BLUTGOTT monsters were on tour with Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction and many other legends from the metal scene and played at major festivals such as Wacken, Summer Breeze and Bang Your Head. The albums are regularly in the top 50 of the official German album charts.

The main man behind BLUTGOTT is singer and guitarist, creator of artworks and monsters, author of the World of Blood Gods: Thomas Gurrath. The guy who gave up his job as teacher to become a full time metal artist.

“Legions Of Metal” is coming on 10 October  – Three bloody discs of old-school Heavy Metal and Hard Rock.

Recorded by Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).

  • CD1: A full mix of Blutgott madness, plus some absolute legends joining the ride: Tim “Ripper” Owens – former singer of Judas Priest, and Michelle Darkness – the voice of End of Green.
  • CD2: Classic Heavy Metal and Hard Rock, like AC/DC getting into a bar brawl with Accept – and everyone wins.
  • CD3: The version with the Debauchery monster voice. Death metal growls that sound like a demon gargling lava.

Available as a 3CD digipack and the main album as a limited edition picture LP.
