SPIRAL FRACTURE Sign Worldwide Deal with Wormholedeath for Upcoming Album “Grace In Decay”

Wormholedeath is proud to announce the signing of U.S. metal powerhouse SPIRAL FRACTURE for the global release of their upcoming full-length album, Grace in Decay, set to drop on 23 January 2026.

Emerging from the underground with a genre-defying blend of progressive metal, blackened edge, and rock-rooted intensity, Spiral Fracture delivers a sound as cerebral as it is cathartic. Their sonic vision is a force of technical precision, emotional depth, and unapologetic power—now aligned with Wormholedeath to bring their bold new chapter to the global stage.

“Spiral Fracture’s journey has been one of dedicated musicians seeking to reach a global audience. We came together to create ‘Grace in Decay,’ our upcoming album, which we felt was the right kind of musical and lyrical reflection of the world around us. We allowed the music to organically come together by focusing on our inner moments in our lives to let loose in a musical format. Our metal roots laced with prog meant that we could expand our musical language into a more cohesive sound that we knew was the right direction for us. Once we were able to master our work, we came together with management to find the audience we needed. Extreme Management Group became the next intricate part in making that happen for us. Wormholedeath Records has agreed to partner with us and take the next steps to bring our accomplishments to the masses. We are truly grateful that we are partnering with a record label that is as excited as we are about getting this music out for the world to hear,” said the band in a joint statement.

Sonically rooted in chaos yet guided by precision, Spiral Fracture takes influence from the Fibonacci spiral—mirroring nature’s perfect balance through a maelstrom of thunderous drums, cinematic guitar work, and a soaring alto vocal presence that cuts through with lyrical purpose.

1. Derelicts of Delusion
2. Soul Allegiance
3. Defiance
4. Scars
5. Decapitated Lies
6. Chasm
7. Doldrums
8. Burning
9. Ctrl Alt Del
10. Relentless Dissonance

“Music is moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination…” – Plato

Now signed to Wormholedeath and proudly part of the Extreme Management Group roster, Spiral Fracture is poised to expand their reach across continents. The band’s mission is clear: to bring connection, catharsis, and sonic truth to a fractured world.

Check out the teaser of the first single, “Soul Allegiance”:

Meet the band:

David Givens – a guitar virtuoso whose melodic phrasing and theoretical command create harmonic landscapes.
Brian Fisher – a rhythmic architect, whose percussive force blurs the line between brutality and complexity.
Brian Tanner – anchoring the low end with dynamic, evolving basslines that pulse with power.
Javier Ramos – a classically trained jazz vocalist bringing ethereal tone, range, and emotive clarity to metal’s raw edge.

ALLBROOK STATION Release New Single ‘Crown’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 3, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: ALLBROOK STATION. Leave a comment

Rising pop rock trailblazers ALLBROOK STATION have officially released their bold new single, “CROWN,” available now on all streaming platforms via SAMSA/Create Music Group. The explosive track is from the band’s highly anticipated album All We Have Is Pain, set for release in 2026.

Since its release, “CROWN” has already been featured on two major editorial playlists—“New In Rock” and “New Music Daily”—further cementing the band’s place as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the modern rock landscape.

Vocalist and songwriter Burke Louis opened up about the origins of the track, “I was once told, ‘You can have smaller dreams or better friends.’ At the time, I was standing at a crossroads- picking between a safe career in finance or diving headfirst into music. I’d been writing for a couple years, and one line kept haunting me: ‘I got a crown but it’s not big enough.’ That’s all I had. I called up Jessie Gomez (long before we were writing partners) and Crown was
born.”

He continues, “But not the version you’re hearing now. This version came two years later, after life had kicked the door in: a divorce, the murder of a
close friend, being robbed by a business partner, and having to leave my dream home in California to crash in a room at Jessie’s place in Utah. That’s when ‘Crown’ took on a new meaning. It became a declaration. A warning shot. A refusal to stay small. This is for anyone who’s been told they’re not good enough. I’m not just coming for the crown… I’m saying it was mine all along, and it’s still not enough for me. I want it all.”

“CROWN” captures the unrelenting ambition, defiance, and resilience that define ALLBROOK STATION’s sound—an anthem for anyone fighting to claim their place and demand more from life.

The single sets the stage for what promises to be a groundbreaking new era for the band, as All We Have Is Pain approaches in 2026.

Stream the single now: https://createmusic.fm/crown

Upcoming Show:
September 26 2025 at The Pearl On Main in Midvale, Utah

Allbrook Station is a genre-bending pop rock band from Salt Lake City known for their explosive live shows, anthemic hooks, and cinematic production. Formed in 2024, the group fuses modern rock, hip-hop, and raw emotional storytelling into a sound that hits as hard as it heals— bold, defiant, and unapologetically real.

Fronted by vocalist/guitarist Burke Louis, the band is completed by bassist Jessie Gomez, drummer Nate Smeding, producer/guitarist Randy Slaugh, and DJ Frank Zoo. Together, they’ve crafted a sound that’s
equal parts chaos and clarity.

In early 2025, Allbrook Station signed with Create Music Group and indie label SAMSA, marking their arrival with a debut single, “Chimerical,” which landed on Apple Music’s “New in Rock” editorial playlist and has since racked up hundreds of thousands of streams across platforms. Their follow-up singles are only getting louder and building major momentum.

With industry eyes watching and a growing cult following behind them, Allbrook Station is carving their lane in the next wave of rock.

AUSTEN STARR Releases New Single And Music Video ‘Remain Unseen’

Rising rocker AUSTEN STARR, recent signee to Frontiers Music Srl, has unveiled her latest single “Remain Unseen” alongside a powerful new music video. With this release, STARR continues to expand her ambitious and emotionally charged musical journey, blending vulnerability with unapologetic rock energy.

AUSTEN STARR comments on “Remain Unseen”:

“’Remain Unseen’ is a heavier track than my first single, ‘I Am the Enemy.’ Lyrically, it creates a realistic remix of the fantastical Alice in Wonderland story by tweaking it into an adult situation and giving the beloved protagonist a sinister spin. I’m excited for this song to become part of your summer-to-fall soundtrack! Down the rabbit hole we go!”

On the accompanying video, STARR adds:

“The ‘Remain Unseen’ video was kept simple and performance-based, but still fast-paced, because it puts more focus on the song itself. It was fun to shoot a video using just the white cyc wall with some lights, amps, and cables after shooting such elaborate scenes for other videos.”

Stream / Listen to “Remain Unseen” HERE 

About AUSTEN STARR:

AUSTEN STARR is a reluctant Bostonian with a penchant for self-induced misery. A natural contrarian, she was raised in a household where being a musician was the last thing she was encouraged to do—so, of course, AUSTEN recorded an album with the help of some heavy-hitters from Frontiers and beyond. While AUSTEN considers herself to be an “anxious wreck,” she’s channeled her inner turmoil and contradictions into a compelling musical statement. AUSTEN’s penchant for hypocrisy is almost as defined as her narrative voice. After all, she admits both to hating bad grammar and to using it in one of her own songs because it fits the meter. When she’s not rocking out on stage or recording, AUSTEN is learning guitar, embracing “emo karaoke nights,” and forging ahead with a relentless, albeit trepidatious, determination to carve out her place in the music world.

BAND LINE UP:
Vocals: Austen Starr
Guitars: Joel Hoekstra (Whitesnake, Revolution Saints, Iconic, Cher, Trans-Siberian Orchestra)
Bass/Drums: Chris Collier (Mick Mars, Lita Ford)
Keyboards: Steve Ferlazzo (Hugo’s Voyage, Avril Lavigne)
Background Vocals: Chloe Lowery (Trans-Siberian Orchestra)

AMBUSH Amaze with new Power Ballad ‘I Fear The Blood’

Today, AMBUSH amazes with their gripping new power ballad “I Fear The Blood”, the final single off new album, Evil In All Dimensions, out this Friday, September 5, 2025! The vulnerable anthem explores themes of escape and self-destruction, in the desperate war against one’s inner demons. Vocalist Oskar Jakobsson screams his soul out in this honest, and heavy-hearted masterpiece, creating the perfect moment to wave your lighters in the air.

The Swedes have a busy fall ahead with several festival appearances and a European tour supporting Angel Witch, followed by a headlining tour of Latin America. Check out the lyric video for “I Fear The Blood” below and secure your copy of Evil In All Dimensions now!

AMBUSH on “I Fear The Blood”:
“There are many temptations in life, and multiple ways to fall into bad habits. When realizing things have gone too far you might reflect upon what you’ve become. You dream about other life scenarios and perhaps start fearing your very existence. Is there a way out?”

Evil in All Dimensions is undeniable proof of AMBUSH’s unwavering passion and talent for the genre. Now, with Napalm Records as their partner, they are primed to take the world by storm. The title track and opener perfectly delivers classic 80s heavy metal hooks with sleek, modern production. Taking listeners along a nightmare turned reality, this song kicks off with high energy drum grooves by Linus Fritzson and powerful riffs from guitar-virtuosos Karl Dotzek and Olof Engqvist. Bassist Oskar Andersson knows how to hypnotize the audience with his lines in the brooding “The Night I Took Your Life”, while “Maskirovka” is an anthem with a standout performance from vocalist Oskar Jakobsson. The track’s mid-tempo groove personifies the difficulties of standing up for truth in a world shaped by manipulation. But there is no rest for the wicked: whipping drums, sharp guitars, and high-pitched vocals, “Come Angel of Night” explores themes of reconciliation when the damage seems irreversible, culminating in a soaring solo that highlights the band’s musical prowess. The evil in this world can’t hide – AMBUSH will take care of it with relentless heavy metal power!
 
AMBUSH about the album:
“We are stoked to unveil Evil In All Dimensions – our long-awaited 4th album. For us the album feels like a new dawn where everything is possible and steel rules the world. We regard it as the proudest moment in our hellbent strive for Heavy Metal mastery, and we hope that you guys will appreciate it!”
