Wanikiya Record / Promotion officially announces the release of Noremorse‘s new single, entitled “One More Time,” available now on all major digital platforms.
“One More Time” tells the story of an intense, complex, and deeply emotional relationship. It is not a simple love story: it is a bond marked by passion, desire, and conflict, where attraction and pride coexist in a fragile but magnetic balance.
The song explores a toxic love, in which both protagonists seek a happy ending. However, neither is willing to give in completely or submit. The narrative maintains a bittersweet and conscious tone, respecting gender equality: there are no dominant roles or victims, but two strong personalities who defend their identity without giving up their desire.
Temptation and passion always prevail, giving rise to a continuous emotional game of attraction and resistance. It is a constant return, a “once again” that becomes inevitable, almost necessary. Every encounter is a clash, every distance is just a pause before reigniting the spark.
Musically, Noremorse creates an intense and engaging atmosphere, blending energy and melancholy, strength and vulnerability. “One More Time” is a direct, emotionally sincere song, in which the narrative tension is reflected in a powerful and dynamic sound structure.
Greek symphonic extreme metal practitioners W.E.B. are pleased to present their live video of “Morphine For Saints” from Darkness Alive, their first ever live album, released last week via Metal Blade Records.
W.E.B.‘s music has earned high praise for its “drama, extremity and bloodthirst in equal parts… energetic and unhinged.” The formidable symphonic extreme metal lineup is best experienced at one of their many crushing live gigs. Darkness Alive truly captures the band at their most commanding.
Offers vocalist/guitarist Sakis Prekas on today’s video, “‘Morphine For Saints’ is that one song that has become a fan favorite since the beginning and for sure it is one of the peak moments of every concert we give since it always begins with a wall of death and a crowd chanting alone in the middle. It is probably the song that establishes the perfect connection between W.E.B. and every audience!“
Darkness Alive Track Listing: 01. Crimson Dawn (Live) 02. Pentalpha (Live) 03. Dark Web (Live) 04. Into Hell Fire We Burn (Live) 05. Murder Of Crows (Live) 06. Necrology (Live) 07. Morphine for Saints (Live) 08. Dragona (Live) 09. Eligos (Live)
A band born of the necessity to scream, blast, and create emotions and get on stage to exchange them with an audience, W.E.B. expresses darkness and death through adrenaline and poetry. Darkness Alive follows five previous studio albums. Colosseum, released in 2021, was their first for Metal Blade. Seized at a moment of transition, the upcoming live album documents the band featuring Prekas. Hel Pyre (bass, vocals), and newly joined drummer Vasilis Nanos. Following the recording, the band expanded its sound and solidified its current lineup with the addition of lead guitarist Alex Despotidis and second bassist Babis Kapageridis.
W.E.B. is currently composing material for their next full-length album that will see them hitting the road once again. “It is by far the best material we;ve ever had on a record. I intend to keep the promise to myself regarding W.E.B. that all new material must be better material, otherwise there is no reason to release it,” Prekas concludes. “Stay Dark.“
Finnish extreme metal band Saasta has released the second single “The Envy” from their upcoming album “Cesspool” to be released on May 8th 2026.
In every person’s life there are moments when death’s cold call feels more comforting than the pain of continuing to live. Sometimes the only thing standing in the way of that final passage is cowardice.
The Envy is a merciless depiction of the weakest moments in an individual’s life. In those moments, existence feels like nothing more than the maintenance and feeding of a personal, earthly hell. A person sinks into the deepest depths of despair, where hope does not appear as light, but hangs by fragile, fraying threads, always on the verge of breaking.
The Envy expressed in the song is not directed at material possessions or worldly achievements, but at death itself — at total peace and the absence of pain. It is a mindset in which even worms seem freer and more human than a breathing, suffering person.
The purpose of The Envy is not to romanticize self-destruction, but to strip it of all glamour and false shine. It is ugly, desolate, and raw. In its world, holiness smells of rot.
Musically, The Envy is both fresh and distinctly original Saasta. Painfully heavy and stripped-down death metal meets black metal riffs that twist familiar icons into distorted forms. The Finnish lyrics add their own harsh character to the song, reinforcing its message in a way that is both beautiful and unsettling.
Saasta is an extreme metal band from Kotka, Finland. Formed in 2020 the band combines the mercilessness of black and death metal, with the more subtle nuances of doom. The combination is dark and groovy metal with its own distinctive sound, where strong lyrical expression meets raw energy. Saasta is known for their intense stage presence and uncompromising effort.
“Following the release of their critically acclaimed studio album Straight To It, Kent rockers The Zac Schulze Gang are heading out on a 6-date November 2026 Tour. Tickets are on sale from alttickets.com andwww.zacschulzegang.rocks/tour.
Recipients of the “Young Artist of the Year” at the UK Blues Awards 2025, ZSG are best known for their explosive live shows and their signature blend of 70s classic blues rock and modern alternative influences. Over the past few years, the Kent-based trio have steadily built a loyal following who are fans of blistering, raw-to-the-bone live shows. Their exciting sound combines classic British R&B with punk energy, outstanding musicianship, and pure dynamite.
Released in September 2025, the band’s album Straight To It is a fitting title for the Zac Schulze Gang’s debut studio album: the trio doesn’t mess around with niceties, preferring to play the kind of blues-infused rock’n’roll that grabs your throat and doesn’t let go.
Frontman, guitarist Zac Schulze, is a world-class shredder, playing with precision, speed, and passion, but the focus of the trio isn’t just his solos. The Zac Schulze Gang is an undeniable gang, a group unified by a like-minded sensibility that adds an electrifying charge to their rock’n’roll. Zac Schulze rides the thunder generated by the rhythm section of his drummer brother Ben Schulze and bassist Ant Greenwell. The trio create a massive roar, all without losing sight of their songs.
The blend of melody and muscle gives Straight To It a visceral kick. Branching away from the blues that provided the trio their initial inspiration, the Zac Schulze Gang opens the album with “The Rocker,” whose breathless hooks almost feel like a rallying call, and sustain that energy through the blitzkrieg rush of “High Roller.” This hard edge is complemented by the bright power-pop of “Angeline” and “Betterland,” an alt-rock anthem that soars toward the skies.
The Zac Schulze Gang’s sound and work ethic harks back to the much-loved live dynamic and relentless touring schedules of 70s icons including Rory Gallagher and Dr Feelgood. Their unique sound also embodies elements of heritage classic rock acts like AC/DC and Thin Lizzy, while giving a nod to contemporary influences like Turnstile, Royal Blood and Queens of the Stone Age.
The Gang have made lasting impressions at esteemed festivals including Eric Clapton’s Crossroads in LA, Planet Rock’s Winter End in 2023 and Fairport’s Cropredy Festival, and the Rory Gallagher Tribute Festival in Ballyshannon where the band first exploded onto the scene.
Zac Schulze won Emerging Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2024 and followed this by winning Young Artist of the Year at the UK Blues Awards 2025. With sold out shows in Netherlands, Germany, and London’s legendary 100 Club, this power-driven trio are THE band to watch.

SERPENTHEIR is a Gdańsk-based experimental metal project rooted in symphonic black and melodic death metal. With a versatile discography of 4.5 albums, including the phantasmagorical ‘Hypernature’s Vines’ and the dreaming, ethereal ‘Oneirism’, the project attempts to answer sonic questions like, ‘What happens when you fuse groove metal with symphonic black metal?‘ and ‘How would a journey from Industrial to the Baroque unfold?‘.
Their compositions are often unstable, feisty, and temperamental. The combination of a drum machine with melodic riffs under massive layers of synths creates an effect of oversaturated, mechanically-conducted extremity.
Pronunciation: ser-pen-th-air (rhymes with chair)
Watch the visualizer here:
Serpentheir has undergone a metamorphosis through a mostly solitary decade of geographic shifts and creative defiance. Conceived by Maurizio Pullman (aka Dr. Caligula), the project has meticulously built a 4.5-album discography—from the cold echoes of the 2017 EP ‘Undertones of Yore’ and the grueling “meta” struggle of the ‘Protracting the States Invariant’ era, to the prolific one-year from-sketch-to-release experiment ‘Shadow People’, which has reignited the nearly smoldered out creative process.
Now based back in Gdańsk, the project has finally shed its one-man skin. The fold has expanded to include a full lineup of dedicated composers, pushing the project’s musical horizons further with the promise to never become complacent and always strive to evolve.
With the 2026 release of ‘Iridescence’ and the band finally hitting the stage, another chapter of mechanically-conducted extremity begins.
FFO: Thy Catafalque, Samael, Tiamat, Arcturus, Ihsahn, The Kovenant.
