BEYOND THE BLACK Release Video for New Single ‘The Art Of Being Alone’, Ft. Chris Harms

Symphonic metal sensation BEYOND THE BLACK are excited to share the third single from their eagerly awaited upcoming studio album, Break The Silence, which is due to be released on January 9th, 2026 via Nuclear Blast Records.

The emotional anthem ‘The Art Of Being Alone‘ features none other than Chris Harms of acclaimed German metal band Lord Of The Lost on guest vocals, and lyrically deals with important contemporary issues such as mental health, self-empowerment and positive life perception. A video that has been released alongside the single illustrates the feeling of being alone and cornered, but towards the end, it shows the path to self-awareness and ultimately, a way out of this mental prison.

Singer Jennifer Haben commented:
“‘The Art Of Being Alone’ is one of the most emotional songs for us since it‘s born from personal battles and quiet reflections. We wanted it to be fragile and powerful at the same time and we believe many of you will find your own story between its lines. Having Chris Harms join us with his uniquely intense voice and personality felt absolutely perfect and brought a depth to this track that made it even more special.”

Chris Harms (Lord Of The Lost) added:
“This duet was long overdue! For more than 10 years now, LORD OF THE LOST and BEYOND THE BLACK have been crossing paths — we like and appreciate each other and it was kind of obvious that Jenny’s and my voices would work great together. Now we’ve finally made it happen and created this powerful, goosebump-inducing song together! I’m really happy about it!“

BEYOND THE BLACK’s sixth full length Break The Silence is a concept album rooted in melodic metal with ethno influences, it explores themes of communication, inner strength, resilience and the urgent need to reconnect in a divided world. Tracks like ‘Let There Be Rain’, ‘(La Vie Est Un) Cinéma’, ‘Ravens’ and ‘The Flood’ examine how words – and their absence – shape our reality. It’s an emotional, multi-layered experience that mirrors today’s complex world and invites fans to be part of this new chapter.

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY Unveil New Music Video for ‘It Comes For You’

Prolific metal band FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY deliver an unrelenting standalone single, perfectly titled ‘It Comes For You‘. The track is an aggressive, full-throttle journey right out of the gate; masterfully blending the band’s older sound with the high-caliber production and songwriting that has become a hallmark of FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY. ‘It Comes For You‘ was recorded earlier this year at Graphic Nature Audio in Kinnelon NJ with the bands own Will Putney handling the production, mixing and mastering. The cover artwork was created by Jorden Haley.

Watch the visual onslaught that Eric Richter at Channel 13 Productions created for ‘It Comes For You’, below.

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY‘s Will Putney states, “An aggressive offering from our camp felt like an appropriate response to the current climate of class disparity and political overreach. Sometimes I feel like we’re beating a dead horse over here but it’s important to consistently remind the listener to remain intolerant of such authoritarian rule. Believe it or not, but one day, it comes for you.“

Last year, the band released their seventh studio album The Nothing That Is which featured the singles ‘Hostage‘, ‘Savior Of None / Ashes Of All‘, ‘Lower Purpose‘, and ‘Red Horizon‘. Stream/purchase The Nothing That Is at https://ffaa.bfan.link/the-nothing-that-is

A thunderous battle cry is here! German heavy metal legends WARRANT return with their brand-new single and video “Scream for Metal” — an anthem forged in fire, pride, and passion.

With razor-sharp riffs, pounding drums, and soaring vocals, “Scream for Metal” embodies the unstoppable force of the scene: no hiding, no silence — only raw energy, burning souls, and the roar that keeps metal alive.

“Metal lives. And we scream for it.”

The accompanying video captures the unrelenting spirit of the band, delivering pure heavy metal fury to the screen. It’s more than just a song — it’s a declaration, a reminder that heavy metal is alive, untamed, and louder than ever.

WARRANT invite fans worldwide to raise their horns and join the chorus: “Scream for Metal”!

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 10, 2025 via Massacre Records.

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.

SELIAS Drop First Single & Video ‘Bullets’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 18, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SELIAS. Leave a comment

Melodic death-metal outfit SELIAS has unveiled their brand-new single and video “Bullets”, the first strike from their upcoming album Killkarma, set for release on November 7, 2025.

“Bullets” hits like a metallic gut punch — no filler, just pure force. Inspired by the unforgiving grind of fight culture, it’s a double-edged title: both literal and psychological. BULLETS dives into the fighter’s mindset — the kill-or-be-killed mentality, the hunger to dominate, to take what’s yours. It’s not just powerful. It’s purposeful. Ruthless. Respected.

Stream “Bullets”: https://orcd.co/bulletssingle

With Killkarma, SELIAS pushes further into melodic brutality and atmospheric depth, drawing inspiration from In Flames, Soilwork, Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, and Orbit Culture. Their 2025 live shows are already showcasing the new material with full-scale performances of sound, light, and intensity.

ENEMYSIDE Announce New EP “In The Shadows Of Unrest”, First Single & Video ‘Concrete Jungle’ Out Now

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 18, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ENEMYNSIDE. Leave a comment

Rome-based thrash metal veterans ENEMYNSIDE are back with a vengeance, delivering their upcoming EP “In The Shadows Of Unrest”, set for release on November 14th, 2025.

To mark the announcement, the band unleash the first single and video “Concrete Jungle” – a relentless thrash assault that is sharp, modern, and uncompromising, yet firmly rooted in the classic tradition of the genre.

Fueled by raw riffs and unyielding energy, “Concrete Jungle” captures the chaos, rage, and disillusionment of a city consumed by greed. It is the sound of resistance rising from the flames – a statement of defiance against a decaying system.

STREAM/PURCHASE THE SONG HERE: https://enemynside.bandcamp.com/track/concrete-jungle

“In The Shadows Of Unrest” was brought to life through a collaborative recording process across two of Rome’s most renowned studios. Drums and bass were tracked at Kick Recording Studio, while guitars and vocals took shape at the Temple of Gravity Studios. The band’s frontman Fran Cremisini handled the recording of guitars and voice tracks at Temple of Gravity, before the material returned to Kick Recording Studio where Marco “Cinghio” Mastrobuono delivered the final mix and mastering, giving the EP its razor-sharp, modern sound. Complementing the sonic assault, the striking cover artwork was created by Diyaco Paymazd, visually capturing the intensity and unrest embodied in the music.

Track listing:

  1. In The Shadows of Unrest
  2. Concrete Jungle
  3. Carnal Betrayal
  4. Mystical Desolation

Formed in Rome in 1994 under the name Scapegoat and reborn as ENEMYNSIDE in 1999, the band has forged a lasting legacy across the global thrash scene. Over the decades, they have released four acclaimed albums and multiple EPs, touring extensively throughout Italy, Europe, and the U.S. and sharing stages with metal heavyweights such as Destruction, Behemoth, Tankard, Flotsam and Jetsam, Sabaton, Blaze Bayley, and Dismember.

Their discography includes the debut “Let The Madness Begin…” (2003), “In The Middle Of Nowhere” (2007), “Whatever Comes” (2012 – featuring Richie Kotzen), the comeback EP “Dead Nation Army” (2018), and the full-length “Chaos Machine” (2019). More recently, they released the “This Is War EP” (2022) and “Medusa” (2023), a re-recorded celebration of their debut album’s 20th anniversary.

Blending old-school thrash roots with modern influences, ENEMYNSIDE remain a consistent and dynamic force in the international metal scene. With “In The Shadows Of Unrest”, the band take their aggressive sound to the next level – uncompromising, furious, and sharper than ever.

ENEMYNSIDE are
Fran Cremisini – vocals
Matteo Bellezza – guitars
Andrea Mataloni – guitars
Andrea Pistone – bass
Fabio Migliori – drums
