Shadowspawn hails from the greater Copenhagen area in Denmark and has existed since 2013. They released several critically acclaimed records (“Ashes of Sorrow” (EP, 2015), “Hope Lies Dormant” (2017), “The Biology of Disbelief” (2021), “Blasphemica” (2023))  and established themselves as a powerful force on the Danish metal scene.

the insane world we see around us, where power-hungry dictators and religion set an agenda built on fear, murder, and oppression. In other words, human carrion feeders who exploit everything they possibly can!
“.

Cover artwork was designed by Swedish artist Henry Pyykkö, and the layout was created by Jess Larsen.

Multi-platinum hard rock heavyweights Drowning Pool return with a ferocious new collaboration, teaming up with rising active rock force Sorry X on their brand-new single, “THE WRONG ONE,” out now through SBG Records.

The collaboration was sparked after the band discovered Sorry X’s brutal reinterpretation of Drowning Pool’s iconic anthem Bodies online.

“We stumbled on Sorry X’s cover of ‘Bodies’ and were impressed by the sheer brutality of her vocals. On top of that Alexa sings amazing. We knew we had to collaborate on something so we reached out,” says CJ Pierce. 

Sorry X adds, “I’m a huge fan of Drowning Pool and I grew up listening to the 2000s nu-metal era, so I was stoked when they reached out to me. I’m really proud of how this track came together and I hope fans will feel the intensity and raw energy of this collaboration.” 

Produced by Hiram Hernandez (Magnolia Park, Bush), “THE WRONG ONE” delivers everything fans expect from Drowning Pool, while Sorry X injects a multi-genre inspired edge that elevates the track into something entirely new. The result is a high-impact anthem built for mosh pits, playlists, and repeat listens.

Known for pushing boundaries and amplifying powerful new voices in heavy music, Drowning Pool once again proves why they remain a dominant force in hard rock—this time alongside one of the most exciting emerging talents.

Ryan’s return to the band in 2023 marks a reunion of kindred spirits, a return to the roots of their musical journey. As he succinctly puts it, “Just being back in the same room together after so many years… was a quick reminder as to why I considered them to be my best friends in the business back in the day.”

Drowning Pool’s return is a testament to the enduring power of their music, a reminder that their unapologetic spirit continues to strike chords with audiences worldwide. The band experienced a triumphant resurgence in 2023 and with new music on the horizon, a 2025 calendar proving that the demand for the band isn’t about to slow down.., Drowning Pool has a white knuckle grip on their present and future with no plans to slow down.

Vocalist Alexa has made a big impact in a short amount of time having already cultivated 11+ million streams independently & 4+ million views across TikTok and Instagram. Being championed as “The next generation of Active Rock” with her youthful fresh take on Active Rock.

LYRIC NOEL Release New Single And Video ‘Shades of Black’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 2, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: LYRIC NOEL. Leave a comment

Lyric Noel officially enters a new chapter with the release of “Shades of Black,” their first single in partnership with Judge & Jury Records. With this release, Lyric Noel sets out to openly confront mental disorders—bringing deeply personal experiences into the spotlight rather than keeping them hidden.

“Shades of Black” arrives alongside an accompanying music video and serves as the second entry in a larger conceptual body of work. The first single, “Blood in the Water,” released independently in September of 2025. 

Lyric Noel’s forthcoming album, due later this year, explores different mental disorders, with each release unveiling a new chapter of the story. Every song introduces a distinct character, each one personifying a specific disorder, gradually revealing the full scope of the album. 

“‘Shades of Black’ explores the emotional extremes of living with borderline personality disorder and suicidal ideation, where the world is perceived not in absolutes but in shifting shades of darkness. The song centers on the symbolism of the Black Dahlia, representing death, depression, and the contradiction of beauty existing in pain. Rather than offering resolution, ‘Shades of Black’ gives voice to an often unseen internal battle and creates recognition for those who live inside it,” shares the band.

Judge & Jury Records—founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace—bring decades of industry success and a global following to the project. The label is known for pairing elite-level production, songwriting, and artist development with powerful promotional reach, making Lyric Noel’s debut a significant moment for both artist and label.

STREAM “Shades of Black”: https://ffm.to/shadesofblack

Lyric Noel is built around personifying Lyric Hollar’s lived experience with different mental illnesses and emotional struggles. This project exists to say the things people are usually expected to carry quietly, the intrusive thoughts, the instability, the exhaustion of trying to appear okay. Lyric writes from inside that reality, not from metaphor or distance, turning pain into something raw, visible, and honest. The work does not soften or romanticize struggle, but it does make it beautiful in its truth, giving listeners language and reflection for experiences they already know but rarely hear spoken out loud.

Before releasing original material, Lyric Noel began by sharing covers online, quickly building an audience drawn to the band’s reinterpretations. One pivotal moment came with a metal version of “Carol of the Bells,” which went viral shortly after release. The band quickly realized the song’s origin as a Ukrainian folk composition. The song was shared by the Ukranian government official social media pages during the Russia Ukraine war. After that, the band decided to release a full version of the song. The video is at over 2 million views.  

Alongside guitarist, primary composer, and producer Russell Hollar, guitarist Robby Gray, and drummer Jerrin Castillo, the project blends heavy, atmospheric, and alternative elements into music and visuals that match the weight of Lyric’s message. That honesty has connected with more than a million people across social platforms and is now entering its next chapter through a new partnership with Judge and Jury Records. Lyric Noel’s message is not built on image or trend, but on lived truth, emotional visibility, and the courage to anthropomorphize these intense emotions.

BLOODBOUND Unveil Video for ‘The Nine Crusades’, Feat. Brittney Slayes

Having ridden into their latest battle with their eleventh epic full-length Field Of Swords, Swedish power metal warriors BLOODBOUND have released another video single from the album. “The Nine Crusades” is another historically themed anthem, retelling the titular events in typical BLOODBOUND style: a sweeping blend of melodic and heavy power metal. Joining their conquest is powerhouse vocalist Brittney Slayes of Canadian band UNLEASH THE ARCHERS, dueting with Patrik J. Selleby in a glorious mid-tempo anthem. Not only is “The Nine Crusades” the perfect album closer, but also a powerful herald of what’s to come.
 
BLOODBOUND are currently getting ready to share their new songs live. Starting March 12 in Hamburg, they will be on tour supporting label mates ANGUS MCSIX, with additional support from Brainstorm. Their run will take them to eleven cities, ending in Eindhoven on March 22. Following, BLOODBOUND will play European festivals, including mountainous Full Metal Mayrhofen, organized by Wacken Open Air, and Alcatraz Festival in Belgium. Find the full list of dates below!
 
Fredrik Bergh about “The Nine Crusades”:
“The major part of this song was actually written by myself and Tomas back in 2018, and it was written especially for the band Sabaton! Joakim Brodén from Sabaton liked the rough demo and wanted to work further on this song together with us, but the collaboration never materialized. I have always felt it was a very strong track, so we decided to record the song ourselves for the new album instead. I am super proud of this song. I feel it’s one of the best songs I’ve ever been involved in writing! The song features the great Brittney Slayes from UNLEASH THE ARCHERS, who sings the song as a duet together with Patrik.”
 
Tomas Olsson about “The Nine Crusades”:
“This song is a summation of the Crusader era, 1096–1291. During this period nine crusades took place. It is estimated that over 2 million people died.”
 
Brittney Slayes about “The Nine Crusades”:
“It is such an honour to be featured on this BLOODBOUND track; I have been a fan of the band for well over a decade so when they approached me about doing some guest vocals of course the answer was a resounding yes! This song is quite different from what we do in UNLEASH THE ARCHERS, and is not at all like my own writing style, so I was excited to be able sing something new and to put my own spin on it. The whole collaboration had been a blast, and I’m glad I was able to make it into the music video as well; it was very nice of them to include me. Hopefully the fans enjoy this song and feel I added something worthwhile to this already amazing band!”

BLOODBOUND’s latest triumphant march impressively illustrates the importance of purpose and perseverance with heroic tales in shining heavy metal armor. Valiant, vigorous, and ultimately victorious: Field Of Swords has come to expand BLOODBOUND’s domination of the scene!
 
Fredrik Bergh on Field Of Swords:
“Field Of Swords is a concept album, a continuation from our last album Tales From The North (2023) which touched upon the subject of the Viking era. On Field Of Swords, we have moved on in history and entered the Middle Ages (after 1066). The concept, in short, is the following: When the Viking Age ended in the year of our Lord 1066, came the long and grim Medieval times.
We are extremely excited about the new album and to release it with the backing of the mighty Napalm Records. Music-wise, the new album has a slightly more modern sound, but we can guarantee it includes all the elements BLOODBOUND is known for! It’s a diverse record with aggressive songs, epic tracks, and it also contains some of the fastest parts we have written. And on the other hand, we have some slower, majestic songs as well, like, ‘The Nine Crusades’ where UNLEASH THE ARCHERS’ Brittney Slayes duets with Patrik. Field Of Swords has everything you can ask for!”

Get Your Copy of Field Of Swords NOW

BLOODBOUND’s first release with Napalm Records adds another 11 captivating battle hymns to their repertoire. A diverse record with aggressive songs and epic tracks alike, their eleventh album also contains some of the band’s fastest material ever written. The opening title track, “Field Of Swords”, immediately storms into BLOODBOUND’s signature sound, braiding stories of glory with a sweeping blend of melodic and heavy power metal. The dominant “As Empires Fall” follows the crusaders east and powerfully depicts said glory in epic battle in contrast with sacrifices made on the way. “Defenders Of Jerusalem” cleverly expands on the topic of loss, leaving listeners to wonder which side is holding their heads up high in the face of imminent defeat. Catchy flutes have the heroes take heart in “The Code Of Warriors” to guide them into the “Land Of The Brave” and Field Of Swords to new heights at the same time. “Light In The Sky” further illustrates BLOODBOUND’s battle scars turned electrifying sound, while the mature “Teutonic Knights” opens up the bleak reality of the tragedy that undoubtedly accompanies this battle-torn era of history. Yet, “Forged In Iron”, “Pain and Glory”, and “Born to be King” hold their ground as equally unforgettable tunes, all leading up to the brilliant finale: Brittney Slayes of powerhouse Canadian band UNLEASH THE ARCHERS joins “The Nine Crusades” as another valuable fighter to lead Field Of Swords to greatness.

  1. Field of Swords
  2. As Empires Fall
  3. Defenders of Jerusalem

NERVE STAR’s New Album “White Hot” Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on March 2, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: NERVE STAR. Leave a comment

NERVE STAR have released their new album ‘White Hot’, out now on CD and Digital, with the Vinyl format available on 28th March. 

Order here: https://linktr.ee/Nervestar

The band will also release their Astral DJ edit of new single ‘Space Ritual’, out on 13th March. This shorter length single is a stand alone track, with the full length version being available on their new album ‘White Hot‘, out now. 

“Space Ritual is the favourite track, for many of our fans. Starts off in a swirling riffing opening, that breaks into a deep Highway Star (Deep purple) type driving riff with some great wah solos and a spacey feedback finish. Great vocals from Matt”

NERVE STAR are a hard rock/heavy metal band which took form in 2021, playing a blend of 70’s hard rock, 80’s heavy metal, NWOBHM and some punk thrown in the mix, with unrelenting riffs, big drums, thumping bass and loud guitars. 

Throughout the year, the line up began to solidify with Joss Thorley from Manchester on Bass and Chris Billinghurst from Maidenhead on Lead Guitar. It wasn’t possible to rehearse together so some cool tracks were selected and sent out, with initially ten songs home demoed. After a couple of changes as they sought to find the ideal line up, in 2023 they brought in a great singer from the South of England, Matt Oakman, and things instantly moved into another league. 

With Matt on board, they searched around for a second reliable and gifted rock/metal guitarist and drummer, contacting Janne Stark, who loved all the tracks. He had done it all as both a producer and guitarist in Metal, Prog and NWOBHM bands since the 1980’s and recorded and produced his own albums and was a perfect partner for Chris on guitar, they now had their own version of the dual leads of Thin Lizzy.

With all Janne’s experience and solidity, it meant that sessions were completed in days rather than months at his studios in Sweden and everything started to take off. Janne introduced the band to Peter, a band colleague and great drummer from Karlsham in Sweden, so when Peter ‘Trumpeter’ Svensson jumped on board, the line up was complete. With demos of the 11 covers and 2 original tracks completed, they started full recording sessions with Janne and Peter in Sweden and Joss, Chris and Matt with Ras at Raw Studios in England. This continued through 2025 until all 13 tracks were completed. 
 
For the final track on the album track that was recorded, one of their guitar heroes was asked if he would like to contribute. Tony Bourge, the heavy metal riff master from the 1970’s Welsh band ‘Budgie’ who was responsible for killer riffs on tracks such as Breadfan/Crash Course In Brain Surgery (covered by Metallica), In For The Kill (Van Halen) and many more. Tony had previously contributed on several Bandolier Kings albums with Janne and agreed to help on one of his own 80’s classic tracks ‘Richard III’, that he originally wrote and recorded with Welsh rockers ‘Tredegar’. Tony recorded all his guitar parts in Wales and sent them across. All three lead guitarists can be heard on this epic track, which is the closer on the new album.

Some extra background to the nature of the songs on this album: 

“Apart from the two instrumentals (Lone Orbit & Calm, Cool & Connected) that were written by our two guitarists to showcase their talents, these are covers. Most were developed during COVID lockdown down years and we deemed them just too good to discard after things opened up again. They were all selected from obscure sources and apart from three songs (Precious Rock, Black Ice & Richard III) had never been released commercially or in most cases never got past the local band/cassette demo stage. Even Black Ice was a one off nwobhm single released by a band who then folded and disappeared quickly after.

It took quite some time to track down the original band members, who were overjoyed and amazed that anyone had remembered them or knew about their demo songs, as they had all been discarded 20-30 years earlier. In fact the band Skreem who wrote ‘Winner Takes All’. (my favourite track) was so impressed with our version, that he went looking for other material and found a dusty old tape with ‘Say It To My Face’ on it, so this opened up another outlet. Songs that would never have seen the light of day or even YouTube!

There’s many others that we haven’t tried out yet as we concentrate on new material. That is why our first new song ‘Its The Time’ has just been recorded for our second album.”

Following from the release of “The Real You”, The Hu are ready to drop new music in three week. Watch this space!
