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 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

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE ASTRONAUTS. Leave a comment

THE ASTRONAUTS release sublime new single ‘Ease Up‘ on 19th September, out on Flip Flop Records.

New single ‘Ease Up‘ is a mellow, guitar soaked rocker that drifts between the indie/alt rock sound of today with a kick back to the likes of the ever inspirational Velvet Underground. A truly stunning single, melodic and mellifluous and with more music to come over the following months on Flip Flop Records, this really is a band to watch. 

The Astronauts are Benjamin Fox and Gordon Cooper, American musicians collaborating transatlantically between Detroit and Ireland. 

In addition to their work as The Astronauts, Fox and Cooper also compose and record under the name Irish Lights, an ambient instrumental project inspired by the timeless beauty and solitude of Ireland’s lighthouses. 

Beyond their own music, the duo operates Sleeping in Space LLC, a boutique Detroit-based label dedicated to releasing independent and forward-thinking music.

“We make songs through satellites. Music is our rocket ship. Time to launch. We are ordinary citizens. Midwest till we die”
