Southern California roots rockers Robert Jon & The Wreck have released their new studio album Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes, out today via Joe Bonamassa’s Journeyman Records. Recorded in Savannah, Georgia with Grammy-winning producer Dave Cobb and mixed by Greg Gordon (Chris Stapleton, Sturgill Simpson), the album captures the band’s raw live spirit and emotional depth across ten tracks that blend rock-and-soul grit with timeless storytelling. As Rock & Blues Muse raves, the record is “a true testament to their ability to capture the human experience through music.”
Alongside the album, the band has unveiled its title track and latest single, “Heartbreak & Last Goodbye.” The song took shape from a simple acoustic idea and evolved under Cobb’s guidance into one of the record’s most powerful moments.
“It took one listen through for Dave to guide us to the arrangement that felt right,” shares guitarist Henry James. “It’s a climactic and emotional song, with tuneful piano from Jake Abernathie, mellotron textures, and Robert Jon’s deeply passionate vocals. Lyrically, it’s an age-old tale of heartbreak – raising a glass to love lost and the ghost it leaves behind.” With its sing-along chorus – “So, pour me more liquor and forget the ice, ‘cause I’ve been watered down too many times” – the track channels sorrow into celebration, delivering a cathartic centerpiece for the record.
Heartbreaks & Last Goodbyes builds on the momentum of recent singles like “Dark Angel,” “Keep Myself Clean,” “Better Of Me,” and “I Wanna Give It,” each offering a glimpse into the album’s range of moods and textures. From the haunting tones of “Ashes in the Snow” to the driving energy of “Highway,” the record maps out the highs and lows of love, loss, and renewal, affirming the band’s evolution into one of today’s most dynamic rock outfits. Classic Rock Magazine hailed the album as “their most accomplished work to date,” noting the band’s ability to balance “soulful storytelling with sheer rock-and-roll firepower.”
Since forming in 2011, Robert Jon & The Wreck – Robert Jon Burrison (vocals, guitar), Henry James (lead guitar, vocals), Andrew Espantman (drums, vocals), Warren Murrel (bass), and Jake Abernathie (keys) – have built a global following through relentless touring and a sound that bridges southern rock tradition with California soul. Fresh off a major European summer tour and a string of U.S. festival appearances, the band now turns its focus to the road ahead, with headlining U.S. dates and a West Coast run this fall alongside Samantha Fish. TotalNtertainment summed it up best: “Robert Jon & The Wreck are a band at the top of their game.”

Finnish heavy metal stalwarts WILLFIRE roar back into the spotlight with their latest music video, “Action Road Mayhem,” a track from the album Homebrewed Recordings, out September 19, 2025, via Wormholedeath.
“Action Road Mayhem” is a no-holds-barred anthem about living wild on the edge of society. It doesn’t preach, it just throws you into the chaos and lets you enjoy the burn. Pure rock n’ roll mayhem with a tongue-in-cheek grin.
The upcoming album, Homebrewed Recordings, captures the band’s signature blend of 80s rock, modern metal, and blues—all self-recorded, mixed, and mastered by the band. Across 11 tracks, it moves from fast and heavy to slow and moody, reflecting real-life emotion and experience.
Founded in 1998 by a group of close friends, Willfire has always focused on writing original material. Over the years, the band went through several line-up changes, eventually solidifying into a power trio of founding members. In 2024, they completed Homebrewed Recordings, their first full-length release, built entirely DIY.
Known for their energetic live shows and genre-blending sound, Willfire continues to write and record, with an extensive back catalog and new music always in progress.
Paracrona is proud to announce that renowned guitarist Jens Fredrik Ryland, formerly of the legendary Norwegian progressive metal band Borknagar, has officially joined the band as a full-time member.
Ryland brings decades of experience, musical depth, and a signature style that helped shape the sound of Scandinavian metal. His work with Borknagar earned international acclaim for its fusion of black metal, progressive elements, and atmospheric soundscapes. Now, Ryland is ready to embark on a new chapter with Paracrona, a band known for its bold sonic experimentation and genre-defying compositions.
“My time between bands” is over, and I have searched for the right outfit to join for 3-4 years already,” says Ryland. “The band’s vision and energy are exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m excited to contribute and help push the boundaries even further.”
Paracrona is currently working on new material, and Ryland will be contributing to the writing and recording process.

About:
PARACRONA was born from a chance meeting between Dutch musician Ringo Christiaan Van Droffelaar and Norwegian guitarist Øystein Hansen (Fortid) at Wacken Open Air in 2007. United by a love of metal, their collaboration began in Oslo and grew into a project that blends melodic intensity with artistic vision.
Work on their debut album, Sun God, started in 2016, shaping a sound they call “Titanium” or “Quantum Realism Metal.” The record explores themes of spiritual growth and societal struggle, with each track reflecting real-life experiences. Despite challenges—including Ringo’s battle with cancer in 2021—the band refined their sound with contributions from Baard Kolstad and Fredrik Nordstrøm.
Live, PARACRONA brings together a strong roster of musicians. Their album release show at Cosmopolite Scene in Oslo, alongside Blood Red Throne and Omnia Moritur, cemented their reputation for powerful performances.
Stay tuned for updates on upcoming releases, live performances, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content featuring Jens Fredrik Ryland and the rest of PARACRONA.
Magnetic Eye Records reveal the next installment in their acclaimed Redux Series in homage to American industrial rock pioneers NINE INCH NAILS. The release follows the series’ established practice of paying tribute to legendary rock classics with a re-imagination of one of the chosen band’s milestone albums.
This edition features cover renditions by current artists taking on NINE INCH NAILS‘ 1994 sophomore album “The Downward Spiral“, which sold over 5 million copies worldwide and was nominated for a Grammy award in the category ‘Best Alternative Music Performance’.
An impressive list of artists and collaborations has already been announced for “The Downward Spiral Redux” and “Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux” as follows:
BLACK TUSK ‘Mr. Self Destruct’ DAEVAR ‘Closer’ ABRAMS ‘Eraser’ BLUE HERON ‘Head Like a Hole’ GRAYCON ‘Right Where It Belongs’ IAH ‘A Warm Place’ THE OCEAN ‘Even Deeper’ BLEAKHEART ‘Something I Could Never Have’ SNAKEMOTHER ‘The Day the World Went Away / Sin’ BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME ‘Hurt’ SANDRIDER ‘March of the Pigs’ BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE ‘Over and Out’ JOHN FRYER with STELLA SOLEIL ‘I Do Not Want This’ AUTHOR & PUNISHER ‘Reptile’ DREADNOUGHT ‘The Becoming’ THIEF ‘Piggy’ JOHN CXNNOR feat. HEXA ‘Big Man with a Gun’
At this moment in time, the world’s reliance on machines, algorithms, and artificial intelligence has never been greater. This means it is also the perfect time to reflect on the emergence of a musical force whose blend of mechanized instrumentation and raw emotion was singular and revolutionary.
NINE INCH NAILS were formed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1988. They arrived around the same time as grunge when Generation X was developing an awareness of itself, but while there was cross-appeal, the sound they created was clearly and intentionally something very different.
The skepticism of that era came through in the music, with artists from RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE to NIRVANA pushing back against what was acceptable to say and do in our society, and everything from the ideals of what major musicians should do with their fame to what people and corporations stood for were fair targets.
NINE INCH NAILS were twice as cynical as everyone else and reflected the singular, driven musical expression of mastermind Trent Reznor. The music he made as NIN has always ranged from infectious, furious, delicate, and sexual to transgressive, uplifting, cautionary, and hopeless. While Reznor did not always make broad, blunt statements about politics, materialism or repression (though he definitely did at times), there was a consistently restless quality to his music. His frustration at the veneer of normalcy and acceptability that characterized modern popular music was palpable, and he seemed to search endlessly for seams to peel back and rip loose to expose what was underneath.
Of NINE INCH NAILS‘ seminal breakthrough album, Spin magazine respectfully had this to say in 2024: “As The Downward Spiral turns 30 this year, it still stands as an act of artistic transgression against the limits of popular music. Pushing the boundaries of creative censorship, it is still considered Nine Inch Nails’ most daring and uncompromising album.”
Join us in paying homage to one of rock’s most ambitious innovators and angriest Gen X voices railing against the status quo, as we present our latest Redux Series installment “The Downward Spiral Redux”, along with the traditional companion album “Best of Nine Inch Nails Redux”. The two double album collections together comprise 27 re-imagined renditions by some of today’s coolest and heaviest artists taking on NINE INCH NAILS classics and deeps cuts.
The Magnetic Eye Redux Series features hand-picked classic albums from across the history of rock and metal re-imagined in their entirety from start to finish. Artists we love from within and outside the heavy rock landscape choose tracks to make their own, bringing these milestone records into the new millennium with crushing heaviness and searing energy. To date, we’ve produced Redux editions of PINK FLOYD’s “The Wall”, HELMET’s “Meantime”, BLACK SABBATH’s “Vol. 4”, HENDRIX’s “Electric Ladyland”, ALICE IN CHAINS’ “Dirt”, AC/DC’s “Back in Black”, SOUNDGARDEN’s “Superunknown”, JETHRO TULL’s “Aqualung”, and RAMONES’ debut “Ramones” which have included artists like RED FANG, MATT PIKE, PALLBEARER, THE MELVINS, ALL THEM WITCHES, KHEMMIS, ASG, SUPERSUCKERS, ZAKK WYLDE, MARK LANEGAN, RUBY THE HATCHET, and many more amazing artists.
Join us for our tenth foray into Redux territory as we pay proper respect to the US industrial rock legends NINE INCH NAILS. More artist announcements to follow!
US death metal force NO RAZA, originally from Colombia, just dropped a new music video for their track “Savage Strength” from the latest album, “Tyrona”, out now on Noble Demon.
“‘Savage Strength’ is a fierce anthem honoring the true guardians of our planet – wildlife“, the band states. “The lyrics channel raw power and urgency, reminding us that while humans are invaders destroying balance, nature continues to resist, fight back, and reclaim its place. This song is not just music, it’s a call to respect, protect, and recognize the wild as the ultimate force of resilience and wisdom. The countdown has begun… and nature will prevail.“
Furthermore, NO RAZA are hitting the road for a run of North American shows this September. Be sure to catch the band on the following dates:
9/12 Club Underground – Minneapolis – MN 9/13 Northern Wisonsin Metalfest – WI 9/15 LiveWireLounge – IL 9/17 Howlin Wolf – New Orleans – LA 9/19 Albatross – Jacksonville – FL 9/20 South FL (TBA)
About NO RAZA:
From the landscapes of Colombia, forged in 1997, death metal powerhouse NO RAZA has taken root in Florida, USA, continuing their relentless sonic assault. More than just a band, NO RAZA delivers a visceral experience, their live staging a stark recreation of a world ravaged by conflict. Through their crushing riffs and guttural pronouncements, they embody the spirit of resistance, standing as sentinels of truth, fiercely defending ancestral cultures and the remnants of a world teetering on the brink.
Thorugh the years, the band has performed on international stages across Mexico, the UK, the USA, and Colombia, sharing the spotlight with renowned bands at major festivals and tours.
After releasing three solid full-length studio albums between 2004 and 2014, NO RAZA was one of the very first signings of Germany-based metal record label Noble Demon (est. 2019) and successfully released their latest masterpiece, “Transcending Material Sins”, back in 2020. Now, five years after that success, this powerful alliance is reignited with the unveiling of “Tyrona”, the band’s newest masterpiece. Get the album HERE
Ever since they came rumbling down from the Blue Ridge Mountains, Bask have sounded of their very own time and place. The climb to reach album number four ended up taking these Southern trailblazers on one hell of a trip. But on The Turning, the band take their homebrewed Heavy Americana to a whole new dimension.
“The album is passionate, soul searching, driven with purpose and a sense of adventure that doesn’t involve pointless wandering”, Blabbermouthwrites about The Turning in a 8/10 review. “Sure, influences can be heard, assumed and even self-professed, but as a collective, Bask doesn’t rip off any band, subgenre nor style. The Turning is a true exploration of sound, story and self”.
“The Turning is an emotionally charged record of the highest order with Bask firmly establishing themselves as one of the most unique and original voices within the modern day Psych Stoner Rock / Metal scene”, writes Outlaws of the Sun. “This is a record of real quality and can easily be considered of the best Psychedelic Rock albums of the year”.
The Turning was released yesterday, Friday, August 22 on Season of Mist, and you can hear all eight lush and roaming songs by listening to the full album stream on the Season of Mist YouTube channel. Order the album: https://orcd.co/basktheturning
Bask are ringing in this heavy and heady frontier on their current tour of the East Coast. Hear them perform songs off The Turning during the album’s opening run out on the road.
The Turning 2025 East Coast Tour, remaining shows: August 23 – Raleigh, NC @ Chapel of Bones [TICKETS] August 24 – Richmond, VA @ Fuzzy Cactus [TICKETS] August 26 – Philadelphia, PA @ MilkBoy [TICKETS] August 28 – Searsport, ME @ Starboard Lounge [TICKETS] August 29 – Providence, RI @ Parlour [TICKETS] August 30 – Wallingford, CT @ Cherry Street Station [TICKETS] August 31 – Boston, MA @ O’Briens [TICKETS]
Bask remain grounded in the natural-born sounds of Appalachia, but The Turning truly straddles the fence between cosmic and country. “When we started writing this album, the songs were twangy but also spacier and more psychedelic than anything we’ve done before”, vocalist and guitarist Zeb Wright says. Though already in the band’s orbit, this is their first album to welcome Jed Willis as an official member. Lead single “Dig My Heels” starts with its boots firmly planted in rugged pastures before bounding for the great beyond, where Willis’ pedal steel swirls like all the colors of the Milky Way.
“These guys have become friends and brothers to me over the past decade or so”, Willis says. “Our music journeys have become intertwined, creating a solid and welcoming foundation that made my transition into the band feel like a natural next step for all of us”.
The Turning doesn’t just span genres. The album stretches across generations in man’s never-ending quest for immortality. Its spurred heroine, known simply as The Rider, has her extraterrestrial world turned upside down by “The Traveler”, a mysteriously ageless gunslinger, who arrives armed with a double-barreled riff atop galloping drums. Maze-like twists are revealed at every self-referential turn as the star-crossed outlaws try and outrun the changing of the seasons. But while out of this world, the dwellings on family, aging, death and rebirth hit close to home.
“We’ve been through so much together. We were robbed in Sweden. A tire literally fell off our van while we were driving”, bassist Jesse Van Note reflects. “Because of COVID, we didn’t get together as much, either. We’re also older now and there are challenges and responsibilities that come with that. I have two kids. Some of us have bought houses. We’ve all been through marriages and different relationships. For things to snowball on top of the band one after another, it kind of had us feeling like maybe this was the end of our era”.
The Turning was almost lost to the sands of time. Bask finished tracking the album just a few weeks before Hurricane Helene reached Asheville. “It was terrifying”, remembers guitarist Ray Worth. “We had a hard time getting in touch with each other. I climbed a hill to get cell phone reception. One of the guys was still unaccounted for the day before we were supposed to leave for Europe”. With a wearisome gait, “Long Lost Light” drifts through a ghost town haunted by salooning piano and high, lonesome fiddle, until it’s swept like sawdust into the void.
But just as the album’s heroine discovers her hidden powers, the title track ends with the newly mounted five-piece stampeding toward the next frontier. “I danced through age and fire“, Wright belts, backed by everything Bask stand for: mountainous bass, tumbling drums, blazing leads and sunbursts of pedal steel.
“COVID, Hurricane Helene and just life in general threw much instability at us, but I think the resilience of the band and our music shines through”, drummer Scott Middleton says. “It’s been a challenging five years, but I think we did a good job weathering the storm and expanding our sound on The Turning“.

Psychedelic rockers have wrangled with the laws of spacetime since time immemorial, but for Bask, the past half decade has felt like falling through a prolonged series of black holes.
Before the pandemic knocked 2020 for a loop, the band were all set to traverse North America’s dusty ol’ trail with kindred spirits Elder. Flash forward roughly four years and they were fixing to tour Europe when another disaster struck their idyllic mountain town. The climb to reach album number four wound up taking one hell of a trip. But on The Turning, Bask bring Heavy Americana to a whole new dimension.
“The past five years have been challenging for all of us”, the band says. “So seeing this album finally come to light is therapeutic. The Turning is Bask at our finest. It’s our most cohesive and heartfelt effort, an ode to our mountain home in the sky”.
For as long as they’ve been together, Bask have called Asheville, North Carolina home. Drummer Scott Middleton and axeman Ray Worth were already jamming up a storm, when in 2013, they tag teamed with bassist Jesse Van Note and vocalist/guitarist Zeb Wright after the two arrived in The Land of the Sky. “We’ve been a band longer than we’ve been with our spouses”, Van Note acknowledges with a gold-toothed smile of appreciation. And yet, after 12 years in the same city, Bask still sound of their own time and place. Sharing bills with High on Fire, Black Tusk and Weedeater has led some metal archivists to peg them as stoners, though it was clear right away that these trailblazers were carved from a different neck of the woods.
“I’m quite sure I haven’t heard anything like it”, Metal Storm admired after filling up on Bask’s first full-length American Hollow. Second helping Ramble Beyond expanded the band’s homebrewed heaviness into crushing peaks and leaf-strewn valleys. “It’s tuneful, heavy, full of heart and soul and wanderlust” noted Invisible Oranges before adding, “and above all, a killer fucking rock album”.
“It’s really exactly what you want from a musical artist: a group of people creating their own sound that isn’t aping anyone”, Heavy Blog is Heavy sang in praise of the aptly titled III, which took a more snow-sheened path at the direction of Matt Bayles, who’s served as studio sherpa for Pearl Jam, Mastodon and Minus the Bear. “This is the kind of band you want to see grow”.
Bask continue to grow by literal leaps and conceptual bounds on The Turning. “I think that’s where the magic is for us”, Van Note muses. “We’re not put in a box”. Following a retreat to Echo Mountain Recording with producer Kenny Harrington, the band have returned with a concept album that truly straddles the fence between cosmic and country. “Zeb did a lot of work behind the scenes to help Kenny bridge the gap between the polish of our last record and the warmth of Ramble Beyond“. In the spirit of a Hollywood Western, the opening track sets a sizzling scene. Distant cries of trumpet stir beneath ominous drone, as if blown with the wind through a mountain chasm. Only then, like a lone ranger, does “In The Heat of the Dying Sun” appear over the blood moon horizon. “I was born to ride”, announces Wright with booming cleans as bass circles the wagons with the earthshaking force of an asteroid.
The Turning remains grounded in the natural-born sounds of Appalachia, which pokes its prickly head through the sludgier chords of “The Cloth” like a black bear swimming upstream. “We all like heavy music and half of us grew up around folk and bluegrass”, explains Wright, “but this album leans into that mix even further”. Despite starting with boots firmly planted in Tampa Bay death metal, lead single “Dig My Heels” strides through kudzu-covered fields of prog before bounding for the great beyond. “Scott called me out”, Worth laughs when asked about the song’s origins. “Instead of writing to my riffs like we’re known to do, his drumbeat took the reins on this one”.
“There’s nothing wrong with playing in 4/4”, Middleton admits, “but if you’re not exploring, then you’re missing out on a world of opportunity”.
While they’ve always been a tight-knit group, Bask’s immediate universe has also expanded. Granted, Jed Willis was already part of the band’s orbit, having helped put a bow on their last album. He’s also chipped in on tour with merch and driving duties, but The Turning welcomes him as an official member. “It’s hard trying to add someone when you’ve had the same four guys in a van for 12 years”, notes Van Note. Indeed, it’s a testament to their dyed-in-the-wool chemistry that the album’s initial thread was teased out in one go. Chugging riffs lock horns with a sideways galloping before folding seamlessly into pastoral space rock, though “Unwound” didn’t fully come together until laced with Willis’ aching bends of pedal steel. “He’s done a really good job of shining when we want that sound”.
“These guys have become friends and brothers to me over the past decade or so”, Willis says. “We’ve shared rehearsal spaces, explored new sounds and collaborated on various side projects. Our music journeys have become intertwined, creating a solid and welcoming foundation that made my transition into the band feel like a natural next step for all of us”.
“When we started writing The Turning, the songs were twangy but also spacier and more psychedelic than anything we’ve done before”, adds Wright, who also performs as the band’s lyrical scribe. “And so I asked myself, ‘What does this feel like? What do all these things come together and make?”
The answer? How about a 40 odd minute, sci-fi opus that stretches not just across dimensions but generations in man’s never-ending quest for immortality. “Sorry, this is gonna get a bit heavy”, Wright warns before walking us through the ins-and-outs of Bask’s latest yarn. Whereas the band’s previous treks were inspired by tall tales, The Turning spools forth from their own fantastical imagination. The album’s spurred heroine, known simply as The Rider, has her extraterrestrial world turned upside down by “The Traveler”, a mysteriously ageless gunslinger who needs her help getting out of Dodge. “Don’t be frightened of me”, he pleads, though the breakdown’s doomy, organ-provoked premonition suggests his intentions aren’t so honorable. Maze-like twists are revealed at every self-referential turns as the star-crossed outlaws try and outrun the changing of the seasons. However, despite being admittedly “out there”, the album’s dwellings on family, aging, death and rebirth hit close to home.
“We’ve been through so much together. We were robbed in Sweden. A tire literally fell off our van while we were driving”, Van Note reflects. “Because of COVID, we didn’t get together as much, either. We’re also older now and there are challenges and responsibilities that come with that. I have two kids. Some of us have bought houses. We’ve all been through marriages and different relationships. For things to snowball on top of the band one after another, it kind of had us feeling like maybe this was the end of our era”.
In fact, The Turning was almost lost to the sands of time. Bask finished tracking just a few weeks before Hurricane Helene reached Asheville. “It was terrifying”, Worth remembers. “We had a hard time getting in touch with each other. I climbed a hill to get cell phone reception. One of the guys was still unaccounted for the day before we were supposed to leave for Europe”. While they feel fortunate to have sustained just a flooded practice space, the storm’s aftermath did seep into the album’s mixing and mastering sessions with Alan Douches. “It would be naive to think that a life-changing event didn’t color the overall tone”. With a wearisome gait, “Long Lost Light” drifts through a ghost town haunted by salooning piano and high, lonesome fiddle until it’s swept like sawdust into the void.
“It’s the heaviest and most challenging song”, Wright says about the album’s emotional centerpiece. Though not the last song written for The Turning, it became the missing piece almost by design. “We worried it was going to be too hard for us to listen back to”, Van Note shares, a sentiment that Worth echoes. “You can feel the pain in every note”. But fellow Asheville native Franklin Keel helped them turn the tide with his deeply melancholic churns of cello. “The way Franklin bends the note, right as things get heavy”, Van Note points out, ” it acted like a release for us”.
When pressed, Wright stops short of concluding that The Turning has a happy ending. “Honestly, it’s almost in spite of that”, he responds in reference to the surprise family reunion that sets its final showdown in motion. If we’re left with a cliffhanger, then the myriad ways in which the albums keeps us guessing are perhaps fitting. After all, much like their hometown, the band are just starting to feel as if things are turning around. “Cleaning up our practice space was such an emotional experience. It was heart-wrenching but also heartwarming at the same time. It led us to re-appreciate each other and our community”. Just as our heroine discovers her hidden powers, the title track ends with the newly mounted five-piece stampeding toward the next frontier. “I danced through age and fire”, Wright belts, backed by everything Bask have always stood for: mountainous bass, tumbling drums, blazing leads, and a sunburst of pedal steel.
“Music is an emotional outlet, but at the end of the day, it’s also a way for us to hang out with our best buds”, the band says. “The Turning was a challenge, but we weathered the storm and came out the other side with a beautiful album that sounds like Bask”.
