SMASH INTO PIECES have released a new single and lyric video ‘Devil in my Head’.
The band shared: “It’s finally here. Our brand new single “Devil in my Head” is out now on all platforms. This one hits hard — chaos, rebellion, madness… everything swirling in your head when it feels like you’re losing grip. If you’ve ever battled with yourself, this one’s for you. Now available on all streaming platforms. Add it to your playlist, crank it up, and let us know how it hits you. Crank it loud. Let it all out.”
Germany’s metalcore force AVRALIZE are entering a new era with their sophomore album liminal, set for release on 14th november 2025 via Arising Empire. Following the breakout success of their debut FREAKS, which earned over 5.5 million spotify streams, the band has already unveiled ‘upside down,’ ‘helium,’ ‘wanderlust,’ ‘close to you.’ and ‘medicine.’
Now they return with the crushing new single ‘bite my tongue.’ Watch the visualiser below.
About the track, the band shares: “‘bite my tongue’ is a song that embodies the tension we all carry inside – that battle between what we feel and what we’re able to say out loud. it’s about the weight of holding back, the pressure that builds up when you bury emotions, and the way it can twist you up until you finally explode. the riffs, the grooves, the heaviness – it all mirrors the choking on your own words and the relief that comes when you finally let it all out. for us, ‘bite my tongue’ isn’t just another single – it’s a statement. It’s us showing another side of avralize: groovier, sharper, but also deeply human. If you’ve ever felt like you were drowning in the things you couldn’t say, this one is for you.”
With liminal on the horizon, AVRALIZE are proving once again why they are one of Germany’s most exciting heavy acts — unafraid to evolve, unafraid to hit harder, and ready to define the next chapter of modern metalcore.

‘Chasing The High’ is From Fall To Spring‘s most emotional and powerful track to date. The single showcases the full range of the band’s songwriting: from atmospheric depth to explosive energy. Driven by a haunting topline, cinematic tension and a chorus that instantly sticks, the song balances vulnerability and power in a way only this band can.
Just two weeks before the release of their new album Entry Wounds, ‘Chasing The High’ sets the emotional tone. It marks the moment of impact, triggering everything that follows. A deep inner wound, a loss that can’t be undone, a feeling that something is broken and might never return.
Despite the weight of its message, the song is accessible and full of reach. The melodies hit hard and stay. The production is massive, but never overwhelming. It’s a modern heavy anthem that still sounds unmistakably like From Fall To Spring – intense, dynamic, and honest.
With this single, the band once again prove their ability to combine heavy music with emotional clarity and real songwriting instincts.
From Fall to Spring states: “‘Chasing the High’ is our emotional crash in song form. It explores the addiction to something that’s breaking you — but you still can’t let it go. Escaping a toxic spiral is hard… whether it’s love or your own mind. And sometimes, all that’s left is a scar to remind you it was real.”

The ‘Night Of’ EP is a stunning reinterpretation of The Anix’s work crafted specifically for his electronic live set performed on February 28, 2025, in Los Angeles. Out now on FiXT, the EP delivers a genre-defying experience across three songs “XRAY” (NIGHT OF), “Die With You” (NIGHT OF), and “My Eyes” (NIGHT OF) that captures the raw energy and cinematic mood of The Anix’s live performance. Created for the live setting but polished for repeat listening, Night Of encapsulates the thrill of The Anix’s live presence while delivering a meticulously produced studio experience. This release is a love letter to longtime fans and a compelling entry point for new listeners drawn to the intersection of dark electronic, alternative, and cinematic sound design and showcases Brandon Smith’s continued evolution as both a producer and visual architect.
The standout track, “My Eyes,” dives deep into drum & bass territory, layering rapid-fire beats beneath Brandon’s signature melancholic vocal lines. It’s a bold rework that offers fans a fresh perspective on The Anix’s sound, one that feels both nostalgic and forward-thinking.
The Anix is the alternative / electronic-rock project of Los Angeles artist/producer Brandon Smith. Known for pushing creative boundaries with his genre-blending mix of alternative rock with dark melancholic undertones drenched in an array of synthesizers, The Anix’s music has captured the attention of global editorial curators with prominent features across official playlists from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Yandex Music, and more. The Anix has received press support from outlets like Revolver, Substream, and Outburn magazines as well as features in TV and video game franchises including Call of Duty, Destiny, Mass Effect, and WWE.
Italian psych stoner rock outfit MALOTA is set to unleash their new album, “Scapegoat”, on October 10 via Go Down Records. As a first taste of the upcoming record, the band has just dropped a brand new video for their track, ‘In A Common Grave’.
The song is accompanied by a music video, which you can watch here:
“In a common grave, where all the good in the world has been buried: ethics, ideals, love, peace, kindness, justice, and the empathy that should guide humanity“, the band comments. “A common grave we gaze upon from above with indifference—yet it does not only stare back at us, like Nietzsche’s abyss; it seeps into us, hollowing us out, making us apathetic toward others, whether living or not, visible or invisible. It condemns us to survive a life that is no longer ours—and perhaps never was.“
Tracklist:
Clemency
Zouari Brigade
Nermin
…but Deliver Us from Pain
Космонавт Pt 2 1st Movement – Descent
Космонавт Pt 2 2nd Movement – Homecoming
In a Common Grave
Until the Next Nuclear Holocaust
“Scapegoat” marks MALOTA’s sophomore studio album, with its title evoking the imagery of a sacrificial lamb. This concept symbolizes the degradation permeating our world, the anguish born from hatred and fanaticism, and the profound fear of isolation. In this new chapter, the band takes a distinct sonic turn. Rhythms are described as slowing to a menacing crawl, melodies become darker and more foreboding, and the vocals carve out a raw, visceral space filled with screams and despair. The rock influences prominent in their earlier work are set aside in favor of a metallic, gritty, and monolithic sound, characterized by tension and an unyielding, uncompromising edge.
The album’s striking cover features a woman locking eyes with the viewer, her silent gaze heavy with judgment. She embodies all those who have suffered – and continue to suffer – at the hands of ignorance, cruelty, and a toxic culture shaped by a male-dominated world. With “Scapegoat”, MALOTA delves deep into the intricacies of human relationships and the pervasive anxiety of facing an uncertain future. The album reflects on the violence of conflicts, both past and present, channeling a profound sense of unease and disillusionment with contemporary society.
“Scapegoat” will be out on October 10 via Go Down Records and is available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION
MALOTA are: Max D’Ospina | bass, piano, didjeridoo, vocals Alberto Montagner | guitars Massimo Battistella | guitars, backing vocals Roberto ‘Mariuz’ Mariuzzo | drums, percussion, lead vocals on ‘Clemency’, backing vocals
