On November 7, 2025, Brazilian thrash metal icons THE MIST will unleash their first full-length studio album in three decades: The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul), slated for release via Alma Mater Records, the Portuguese powerhouse label founded by MOONSPELL frontman Fernando Ribeiro! Pre-Save now: https://themist.bfan.link/the-dark-side-of-the-soul

A video clip for their first single, “(Brain) – Geppetto’s Song”, has just been exclusively premiered on Metal Insider! ““Geppetto’s Song” is a twisted take on the eternal clash between creator and creation – like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, ” says vocalist Vladimir Korg. “Here, Pinocchio refuses to “become human” and play along with society’s lies. Instead, he chooses the outsider’s path, rejecting the polished morals of Disney in favor of the raw chaos of real life.”

Directed by Leandro Miranda, the music video brings THE MIST together with the circus artists of Casa Circo Gamarra. Starring Diego Gamarra as Pinocchio, the clip follows his transformation into a human being – but the humans he encounters are far from kind.

Exactly 30 years after their last full-length Gottverlassen, Vladimir Korg once again leads THE MIST into new territory with a concept album divided into three acts. Musically, the album is pure, unrelenting thrash: lightning-fast riffs, punishing rhythms, furious vocals, and lyrics dripping with rage and allegory – the perfect soundtrack for vengeance.

Produced by André Damien, mixed and mastered by acclaimed producer Tue Madsen (Halford, Meshuggah, Moonspell), and featuring cover art by Michael Whelan, The Dark Side of the Soul stands as THE MIST’s most ambitious work to date.

Formed in 1989 from the ashes of Mayhem and fronted by ex-CHAKAL vocalist Vladimir Korg, THE MIST quickly carved out their place in the Brazilian metal underground. Their debut Phantasmagoria (1989) introduced a furious thrash sound infused with heavy metal roots, while their dark, conceptual second album The Hangman Tree (1991) became an underground classic.

The band went on to experiment with industrial elements on Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (1993) and closed their first era with Gottverlassen (1995). After splitting up, THE MIST reemerged in 2018, reigniting their legacy with The Scarecrow Tour featuring Jairo Guedz of The Troops Of Doom, and in 2021 released the acclaimed comeback EP The Circle of the Crow.

Now, in 2025, THE MIST are fully back with The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul), ready to reclaim their place among the titans of thrash!

KLOGR Announce New Double Album “Reborn”, Out October 31st

Following the release of their single “White Eyes” on September 5, KLOGR now unveil the details of their upcoming record.

On October 31, “REBORN” will be released: a double album featuring 15 songs from across the band’s discography, completely re-recorded and rearranged with a modern twist. This is neither a simple compilation nor a remaster, but a true musical rebirth that fully represents the new sonic direction the band has embraced in recent years.

“Why Reborn? Because when you’ve felt dead inside for too long and you get the chance to feel alive again, you can’t ignore it” says Rusty, founder and frontman of the band “After years of inner drought, something finally shifted. I emerged from a draining phase and felt the urge to breathe new life into a project that has saved me more than once. I wanted to honor everyone who has been part of KLOGR through the years, and the best way to do that was to give new dignity to songs that, at the time of their original release, still carried the weight of my musical immaturity. Reborn is my way of making peace with the past-acknowledging its value through the lens of 15 years of experience”.

The selected tracks are taken from KLOGR’s four studio albums:
–Till You Decay (2011)
— Till You Turn (2012)
— Black Snow (2014)
— Keystone (2017)

Completing the release is a second disc: “Fractured Realities Live 2024”, a live album recorded during KLOGR’s European tour with Evergrey (Nov–Dec 2024), previously released in digital format. “REBORN” will be available as a double CD and double vinyl, also in limited editions, accompanied by secret boxes with exclusive merchandise, autographed photos, and other surprises for the fans.

Upcoming milestones:

October 3 – Release of the new single “Guinea Pigs”, with the official video on the band’s YouTube channel

October 31 – Release of the album “REBORN” and a brand-new single featuring a special guest (still to be revealed).

The CD and vinyl pre-order will be available in the coming days on the band’s official shop.

The launch of the album marks the beginning of an important new chapter for KLOGR, who are set to embark on a European and UK tour supporting Katatonia and Evergrey: “There couldn’t be a better time to be clear with ourselves, with our audience, and to prove that this time, we mean business”.

DEVORA Releases New Single And Video ‘Cocaine Karaoke’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 22, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Outlaw pop trailblazer DEVORA has released her brand-new single “Cocaine Karaoke” alongside a visualizer, available now on all platforms. 

“I wrote ‘Cocaine Karaoke’ in Nashville with Johnny Gates and Austin Luther, and it came out of one of the most unhinged relationships I’ve ever been in,” DEVORA shares. “I was dating this guy who was living a double life; completely full of shit, always coked up, making these wild promises that never meant anything. It almost became a running joke how insane his lies got, like I was just buying into this karaoke version of reality he was selling me. Fed up and spun out on emotional whiplash, I put it all into this song.”

She adds, “His lies started to feel like karaoke: loud, performative, and not real. He’d promise me the world, but it was all just a drug-fueled performance—cocaine karaoke. All noise and no substance. This song is me calling it out for what it was and closing that chapter for good.”

ENVY OF NONE Return with New 3-Track Single ‘The Thrill’, New Video Out Now

Following the release of their lauded second album Stygian Wavz in March, Canadian four-piece Envy Of None are back today with a 3-track single and a brand-new video. The new offering features an alternative version of album track, a demo version, and the album track itself.

Bassist Andy Curran states “Thrill of the Chase was one of the last songs we worked on before handing in the completed record. It started with Alf’s funky demo and Maiah loved it and was very vocal about completing it. She and I were wanting to add something up tempo to the record and this one, despite being a little left of center style wise seemed to fit nicely. It has a cool funky positive vibe that we enjoyed exploring, especially the outro dance party section!”

Alfio Annibalini adds “At first glance, this track seems like an odd choice to include on the album, but once Maiah added her vocals, the track instantly sounded as if EON had walked through a new yet familiar door. And as a special bonus, the remix even features a cowbell!”

Alongside the digital release, Envy Of None will also be releasing ‘The Thrill’ as a 12” coloured vinyl version of the single with all proceeds from this release donated to UNHCR’s response to the Ukraine emergency. Speaking on the charity aspect of the single, the band shared:

“It is disheartening and infuriating that three years after Envy Of None initiated a fundraiser in support of the people of Ukraine, as they battle the invasion of their sovereign country by Russia, we are once again trying to do our part and ask you, sincerely, for your support in this repeated initiative.  Every little bit counts, and our hope is that our collective assistance will ease their burden even a little and we never have to do this again. While Ukraine’s most formidable ally loses interest and seems to support the Russian campaign of terror, it is left to us to do what we can.

We are proud of the work we have done and prouder still of our commitment to make the world a better place than it is.  With the purchase of this record, you too are helping ease their pain.  Thank you for your kindness and generosity.”

Montreal-based rock/metal powerhouse Deadly Apples is back with a new epic and dark single, “Sacrifice,” available now on all major streaming platforms.

“Sacrifice” features collaborations with Richard Patrick (Filter / Nine Inch Nails) on vocals and Danny Lohner (Nine Inch Nails / Till Lindemann) on guitars and bass. The single was produced by Antoine Lamothe, with mixing handled by Ben Grosse (Depeche Mode), mastering by Tom Baker (Marilyn Manson), and pre-production by legendary producer Michael Beinhorn (Korn). The drums for the track were recorded on Lars Ulrich’s iconic Black Album kit, adding a historic edge to its crushing sound.

The band’s previous single, “Volatile,” made a major impact upon release—surpassing 100k Spotify streams in its first week and 100k YouTube views in just over a week. The track was featured on major editorial playlists including Spotify’s All New Metal, new nü, and Industrial Metal; Apple Music’s Breaking Hard Rock; and Deezer’s Industrial. The “Volatile” music video premiered at Montreal Fetish Weekend and went on to be selected for the Silver Screenings at the Berlin Music Video Awards (June 2025). The release also generated extensive coverage across top rock and metal outlets along with numerous interviews.

Deadly Apples continued their rise with major live shows in 2025, including Welcome to Rockville (Florida) and the Vivo x el Rock Festival (Peru), where they performed on the main stage alongside Avenged Sevenfold and Marilyn Manson.

Deadly Apples have built a loyal following thanks to their unique sound and relentless touring schedule, which has seen them share the stage with rock and metal heavyweights around the globe such as Korn, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, and Rammstein.

Fans can stream or download “Sacrifice” on all major platforms.

About Deadly Apples:

Montreal rock / metal band Deadly Apples – frontman / lyricist Alex Martel and drummer / composer Antoine Lamothe – has forged a reputation for its fierce, unpredictable, and high energy live performances often culminating with Martel diving – and drowning – into the crowd.  As rock music – and society – has become increasingly safe and bland, the French-Canadian band has received praise for bringing back the danger and unpredictability to unsuspecting audiences.

Accompanied on stage by a touring guitarist and keyboardist / dancer, the Great White North act has showcased its intensity in arenas and stadiums around the globe – United States, Mexico, South America, Europe, Japan – on high-profile tours with Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, Korn, Deftones and Rammstein, as well as Main Stage slots on festivals such as Hellfest Open Air, Knotfest, Vans Warped Tour, Hell & Heaven Fest and Resurrection Fest.

On their new full-length album DISTRESS, Deadly Apples push the limits of their catchy sound to every extreme: darker, deeper, and heavier, yet their most accessible work yet.  Interlaced with cinematic atmospheres, poignant melodies, singular screams, gritty analog synths, pummeling drum beats, abrasive guitars, delicate pianos and heartfelt lyrics, DISTRESS is a unique, relevant and modern take on a classic genre that they made their own.

Recorded in Los Angeles, the album was produced by Lamothe, mixed by Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson) and mastered by Tom Baker (Nine Inch Nails), with NIN alumni Danny Lohner performing the guitars / bass and Richard Patrick of Filter providing guest vocals.  Early pre-production work was also completed with Michael Beinhorn (Korn).

Deadly Apples is back and will fucking destroy anyone standing in its path.
THE DISTRESS IS COMING…………………………………………..
