Since their formation, HARKON from North Rhine-Westphalia have been delivering sophisticated, melodic, and at the same time powerful HEAVY METAL.

Following their EP “Ruins Of Gold” (2019), the band’s long-awaited debut album “Love And Vore” will finally be released on October 31, 2025, via Doc Gator Records – a powerful work that balances catchiness and progressiveness, carried by strong hooks, anthemic choruses, and profound lyrics.

Supported by the Wacken Foundation and refined by Cornelius Rambadt’s production and Dennis Koehne’s mastering, “Love And Vore” combines the power of classic Metal tradition with modern, powerful energy …

Now, the band has released a first single and video ‘Watch The World Go By’ from the upcoming album.

HARKON reveal:
“‘Watch The World Go By’ is about still seeing beauty in the rockiest road ahead – even if it sometimes means letting the outside world, with all its blunders, pass you by.”

LYRICS
I’ve seen them haul, I’ve seen them fall
No time to breathe or to recall
And laughter echoes through the streets of shame

Defeat today, trade on the prey
No time to fail or to replay
And silence laughs at all the scores you aim

I see tomorrow, a diamond in the rough
I see it coming in darkness, fair enough
I see its colours with half an eye
And watch the world go by

On wires and walls, a beggars’ ball
It’s all for none and none for all
And laughter echoes from a distant shade

I’ve heard them crave from shallow grave
It’s all but glory to the brave
And silence laughs at all the plans you made

I see tomorrow, a diamond in the rough
I see it coming in darkness, fair enough
I see its colours with half an eye
And watch the world go by

I see tomorrow, a diamond in the rough
I see it coming in darkness, fair enough
I see its colours with half an eye
And watch the world go by

With half an eye I watch the world go by

For the powerful, transparent, and wonderfully organic overall sound of their songs, HARKON once again relied on a well-established producer duo:

Cornelius Rambadt (Disbelief, Bonded, Sodom, The Very End) handled the recording and mixing, while Dennis Koehne (Lacuna Coil, Caliban, Orden Ogan) took care of the mastering.

The result is an organic, powerful, yet modern sound that perfectly captures the essence of Progressive and Melodic Heavy Metal.

» With “Love And Vore”, HARKON finally prove that they are more than just an insider tip:
a band that delivers catchy anthems with depth, thrilling fans and critics alike – and showing that metal from Germany can still write new chapters in 2025 … [ … learn more here ]

THE MIST Return with New Album “The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul) ” – Their First Record Since 1995

On November 7, 2025, Brazilian thrash metal icons THE MIST will unleash their first full-length studio album in three decades: The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul), slated for release via Alma Mater Records, the Portuguese powerhouse label founded by MOONSPELL frontman Fernando Ribeiro! Pre-Save now: https://themist.bfan.link/the-dark-side-of-the-soul

A video clip for their first single, “(Brain) – Geppetto’s Song”, has just been exclusively premiered on Metal Insider! ““Geppetto’s Song” is a twisted take on the eternal clash between creator and creation – like Dr. Frankenstein and his monster, ” says vocalist Vladimir Korg. “Here, Pinocchio refuses to “become human” and play along with society’s lies. Instead, he chooses the outsider’s path, rejecting the polished morals of Disney in favor of the raw chaos of real life.”

Listen / Download: https://themist.bfan.link/brain-geppetto-s-song

Directed by Leandro Miranda, the music video brings THE MIST together with the circus artists of Casa Circo Gamarra. Starring Diego Gamarra as Pinocchio, the clip follows his transformation into a human being – but the humans he encounters are far from kind.

Exactly 30 years after their last full-length Gottverlassen, Vladimir Korg once again leads THE MIST into new territory with a concept album divided into three acts. Musically, the album is pure, unrelenting thrash: lightning-fast riffs, punishing rhythms, furious vocals, and lyrics dripping with rage and allegory – the perfect soundtrack for vengeance.

Produced by André Damien, mixed and mastered by acclaimed producer Tue Madsen (Halford, Meshuggah, Moonspell), and featuring cover art by Michael Whelan, The Dark Side of the Soul stands as THE MIST’s most ambitious work to date.

Formed in 1989 from the ashes of Mayhem and fronted by ex-CHAKAL vocalist Vladimir Korg, THE MIST quickly carved out their place in the Brazilian metal underground. Their debut Phantasmagoria (1989) introduced a furious thrash sound infused with heavy metal roots, while their dark, conceptual second album The Hangman Tree (1991) became an underground classic.

The band went on to experiment with industrial elements on Ashes to Ashes, Dust to Dust (1993) and closed their first era with Gottverlassen (1995). After splitting up, THE MIST reemerged in 2018, reigniting their legacy with The Scarecrow Tour featuring Jairo Guedz of The Troops Of Doom, and in 2021 released the acclaimed comeback EP The Circle of the Crow.

Now, in 2025, THE MIST are fully back with The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul), ready to reclaim their place among the titans of thrash!

Pre-save The Dark Side of the Soul (An Anatomy of the Soul) HERE

Album track listing:

  1. The Curse Of Life
  2. (Embryo) – Anatomy Of The Soul
  3. (Cuore) – The Dark Side Of The Soul
  4. (Brain) – Geppetto’s Song
  5. (Liver) – Killing My Imaginary Friends
  6. (Lungs) – Death Is Alive Inside Me

KLOGR Announce New Double Album “Reborn”, Out October 31st

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 22, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Following the release of their single “White Eyes” on September 5, KLOGR now unveil the details of their upcoming record.

On October 31, “REBORN” will be released: a double album featuring 15 songs from across the band’s discography, completely re-recorded and rearranged with a modern twist. This is neither a simple compilation nor a remaster, but a true musical rebirth that fully represents the new sonic direction the band has embraced in recent years.

“Why Reborn? Because when you’ve felt dead inside for too long and you get the chance to feel alive again, you can’t ignore it” says Rusty, founder and frontman of the band “After years of inner drought, something finally shifted. I emerged from a draining phase and felt the urge to breathe new life into a project that has saved me more than once. I wanted to honor everyone who has been part of KLOGR through the years, and the best way to do that was to give new dignity to songs that, at the time of their original release, still carried the weight of my musical immaturity. Reborn is my way of making peace with the past-acknowledging its value through the lens of 15 years of experience”.

The selected tracks are taken from KLOGR’s four studio albums:
–Till You Decay (2011)
— Till You Turn (2012)
— Black Snow (2014)
— Keystone (2017)

Completing the release is a second disc: “Fractured Realities Live 2024”, a live album recorded during KLOGR’s European tour with Evergrey (Nov–Dec 2024), previously released in digital format. “REBORN” will be available as a double CD and double vinyl, also in limited editions, accompanied by secret boxes with exclusive merchandise, autographed photos, and other surprises for the fans.

Upcoming milestones:

October 3 – Release of the new single “Guinea Pigs”, with the official video on the band’s YouTube channel

October 31 – Release of the album “REBORN” and a brand-new single featuring a special guest (still to be revealed).

The CD and vinyl pre-order will be available in the coming days on the band’s official shop.

The launch of the album marks the beginning of an important new chapter for KLOGR, who are set to embark on a European and UK tour supporting Katatonia and Evergrey: “There couldn’t be a better time to be clear with ourselves, with our audience, and to prove that this time, we mean business”.

DEVORA Releases New Single And Video ‘Cocaine Karaoke’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on September 22, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Outlaw pop trailblazer DEVORA has released her brand-new single “Cocaine Karaoke” alongside a visualizer, available now on all platforms. 

“I wrote ‘Cocaine Karaoke’ in Nashville with Johnny Gates and Austin Luther, and it came out of one of the most unhinged relationships I’ve ever been in,” DEVORA shares. “I was dating this guy who was living a double life; completely full of shit, always coked up, making these wild promises that never meant anything. It almost became a running joke how insane his lies got, like I was just buying into this karaoke version of reality he was selling me. Fed up and spun out on emotional whiplash, I put it all into this song.”

She adds, “His lies started to feel like karaoke: loud, performative, and not real. He’d promise me the world, but it was all just a drug-fueled performance—cocaine karaoke. All noise and no substance. This song is me calling it out for what it was and closing that chapter for good.”

Known for her haunting visuals and fierce stage presence, Devora has toured extensively, supporting The Warning, BUSH, and Austin Meade on sold-out runs across the U.S. This fall, she will return to the road with newly announced tour dates.
