JOHN CORABI Shares New Visualizer ‘When I Was Young’ from Upcoming Album

Rock icon JOHN CORABI is pleased to share his new single “When I Was Young,” taken from his upcoming debut full-length solo album ‘New Day,’ due out on April 24, 2026 via Frontiers Music Srl. “When I Was Young” arrives alongside an official visualizer, available below.

On the new track, JOHN shares:

“‘When I Was Young’ is a lyrically poignant song about an aging man looking back and reminiscing in a conversation with his son, about the ups and downs of his life. A beautiful look at life blended with acoustic and electric guitars, mandolin, with an uptempo ‘Maggie May’ vibe!!!”

‘New Day’ marks JOHN CORABI’s first full-length solo album of original material. Recorded in Nashville during the summer of 2025 and produced by multi-platinum songwriter and producer Marti Frederiksen (Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne, Buckcherry), the album fuses classic ’70s rock, soul, and blues influences into a sound that feels both timeless and deeply personal.

The record features the previously released singles “Così Bella (So Beautiful)” (2021) and “Your Own Worst Enemy” (2022), now presented as part of a rich collection of tracks that spotlight his commanding vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and masterful songwriting. Throughout the album, CORABI is joined by Marti Frederiksen, who adds backing vocals, guitars, piano, and percussion; Evan Frederiksen on drums, bass, B3 organ, electric guitar, mandolin, and programming; Richard Fortus (Guns N’ Roses) on lead guitar; Paul Taylor (Winger, Steve Perry) contributing piano, organ, and clavinet, as well as Charlie Starr (Blackberry Smoke) offering guitar solos. Together, they create an organic, instrument-driven sound built on real performances, melodic interplay, and soulful energy.

With a European tour planned for February/March 2026 and additional shows running through late spring and summer, CORABI is poised to bring this new music directly to fans, delivering both powerful live energy and genuine emotional resonance.

More than just a solo debut, ‘New Day’ serves as CORABI’s personal testament to rock’s enduring spirit—an exploration of melody, soul, and authenticity, played with passion and conviction at every turn.

JOHN shares:

“I’m very excited for everybody to hear this new collection of songs! I wanted to put together an album of eclectic, organic songs that are reminiscent of the music I grew up listening to, and I truly believe the mission was accomplished! This is a 60’s-70’s sounding classic rock and roll record…Turn it up, and enjoy!!!”

DISPYRIA Release Second Single + Video ‘The First Of Its Kind’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 28, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: DISPYRIA. Leave a comment

DISPYRIA release “First Of Its Kind,” another single from their fourth album, “Redemption Part 1 – Twisted World.” This reveals another character from the saga and, accordingly, a new distinctive voice: following Savatage singer Zak Stevens and Carsten “Lizard” Schulz, Rob Lundgren (Mentalist, Reveal) now takes the stage. The Swede sings the role of Scrumgrot, a beast in human form, and brings him to life with clarity and sharpness in his voice!

Jürgen Walzer has created a masterpiece with the Dispyria saga. What began as an autobiographical work developed into a dark fantasy story that should really be on Netflix!
Jürgen is not only a gifted songwriter, but also impresses with his great storytelling, which makes DISPYRIA unique in its kind and complexity.

Digital: save-it.cc/epr/the-first-of-its-kind or directly on Spotify

Tracklist:
01 – After Dawn
02 – I Am Nothing
03 – Master Of Mirrors
04 – The Revelation
05 – Father
06 – David’s Nightmare
07 – The First Of Its Kind
08 – Light Of A Dream
09 – Red Requiem
10 – Twisted World

February 20, 2026 DISPYRIA – The Live Experience! Kammgarn Kaiserslautern

Cover by Timo Wuerz!

Biography:

Juergen Walzer comes from Kaiserslautern and is a versatile media designer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, producer, and the creative mind behind DISPYRIA. His musical journey began in 1986 with the founding of the band Superior—inspired by greats such as Iron Maiden, Ayreon, and Savatage.

DISPYRIA was launched in 2012 and also marked a personal turning point: Suffering from severe depression, Juergen Walzer found an outlet for his inner pain in music and in the fictional story of Josh Devon. The first two albums in particular are closely interwoven with his own experiences – such as the ballad “Tears of an Angel,” which deals with the loss of a miscarriage.

Line-up:
Juergen Walzer – Guitars, Bass, Programming
Zak Stevens (Lead Vocals on 1, 4, 8)
Sabrina Roth (Lead Vocals on 1, 2)
Damiano Libianci (Lead Vocals on 2)
Carolina Padron (Lead Vocals on 3,6)
Carsten “Lizard” Schulz (Lead Vocals on 5, 10)
Rob Lundgren (Lead Vocals on 7)
Dennis Ohler (Lead Vocals on 9)

Sven Sommer (Fretless Bass) on 2
Markus Pfeffer (Leadguitars on 1, 4, 5, 7) Markus Teske (Synth-Lead on 10)

BLEED FROM WITHIN Reveal Full Live Audiotree Session

Scottish metal heavyweights, Bleed From Within, are proud to reveal their live Audiotree Session. The band filmed the one take performance during their 2025 North America tour supporting Bullet For My Valentine and Trivium, featuring songs from their latest album Zenith and more. Audiotree are renowned for showcasing talented musicians from around the world. Their channel has become a cornerstone, capturing intimate studio performances from diverse artists.

Bleed From Within stated:
“We’ve had our eyes on Audiotree for quite some time. We saw this as an opportunity to showcase our material in a new light, without the usual production that we have with us in a live environment. In an age of over produced records & bands editing live footage, it felt refreshing to walk into a room and just play our instruments knowing that this was our one take and only chance to dial it in. There were no run throughs or drop ins. Play it loud, then come see it in the flesh in April/May on our first ever headline tour of North America!”

ABOUT BLEED FROM WITHIN

After 20 years, Bleed from Within have reached their Zenith. The Glasgow firebrands are one of the hardest working acts in metal: playing shows globally with everyone from Megadeth to Slipknot, all while writing and regularly releasing monstrous, exhilarating songs. The upward journey reaches new heights on their seventh album, which contains the band’s heaviest, catchiest and most intrepid music to date.

Bleed – vocalist Scott Kennedy, guitarists Craig “Goonzi” Gowans and Steven Jones, drummer Ali Richardson and bassist Davie Provan – have long been Scottish metal’s most valued sons, constantly at the vanguard of muscular-sounding music. First albums Humanity (2009) and Empire (2010) made them cult figureheads in the deathcore scene, before Uprising (2013) broadened their palate with groove metal adrenaline and melodic death metal prowess. It also marked their major-label debut, catapulting them onto tours with heavy royalty.

In 2018, the band returned with the ferocious Era. Then, follow-ups Fracture (2020) and Shrine (2022) proved their greatest triumphs to date, intertwining Scott’s snarls with Steven’s majestic singing. The millions of streams gathered by such singles as ‘The End of All We Know’, ‘Into Nothing’ and ‘Levitate’ proved Bleed had become the next big thing. On Zenith – which was announced alongside career-affirming tours with Slipknot, Trivium and Bullet for My Valentine – the quintet are primed to leap into superstardom.

Across 11 songs, Zenith explores the parameters of what pulse-pounding metal can do. ‘Violent Nature’ is the most attention-demanding opener Bleed have ever penned, accelerating from a distorted intro to an onslaught of drums, blitzkrieg riffs and layer upon layer of screams. Single ‘In Place of Your Halo’ is a heavier counterpoint: its hulking groove leads up to a surprising bagpipe section, keeping the band in touch with their homeland as they affirm themselves on the world’s stage. From the bold string sections throughout the album to finale ‘Edge of Infinity’, which rises from acoustic guitars and singing to an almighty crescendo, Bleed’s horizons have never been broader. Yet, their songs have never felt so invigorating across the board either.

ALLY VENABLE Announces September 2026 UK Tour with Special Guest Garret T. Willie

Following her triumphant October 2025 UK Tour, Texas based blues rock guitarist Ally Venable will embark on 10-date UK Tour in September 2026. Special guest on all shows is the celebrated Canadian blues rock phenom, Garret T. Willie.

Tickets for all concerts, except Glasgow and Faversham, are available from altickets.com.

Tickets for Ally’s concert at Stereo in Glasgow are available from Ticketmaster. Tickets for the concert at The Old Brewery in Faversham are available from Gigantic.com.

Ally’s UK tour follows hot on the heels of her critically acclaimed sixth studio album Money & Power. Released by Ruf Records, the album’s available on vinyl, CD and digital HERE.

“Money & Power is such a strong statement, especially for women,” says the award-winning Texas gunslinger of her Nashville-recorded album, on which Ally’s crack-squad band is joined by A-list guests Shemekia Copeland and Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram.

“All the songs on this album showcase the theme of what it truly means to be a force to be reckoned with. I want this record to wake people up,” continues Ally.

Money and power make the world go round. But in the right hands, music can be every bit as potent. Right now, on the heels of 2023’s acclaimed Real Gone – an album that hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Charts and was still in contention a year later – Ally is rated amongst the best young singer-songwriters in American roots, saluted by Total Guitar magazine in its poll of Top 100 Blues Guitarists.

“With her heels, sequins and Les Paul growling on a leash, she’s one of Ruf Record‘s most head-turning young artists,” wrote Classic Rock, “and while the instrumental prowess can be taken as read, Real Gone marks a growing maturity in the Texan’s songcraft.”

In February 2024, with the dust still settling from Real Gone, the Money & Power sessions saw Ally and producer/drummer Tom Hambridge push through the doors of Nashville’s famous Soundstage Studios. And while the studio band was strictly A-list, as always, Ally’s new songs are the real stars. That attitude is palpable on opener “Brown Liquor,” Ally’s battle cry decorated by a stinging guest guitar solo from the Mississippi hotshot Christone ‘Kingfish’ Ingram.

Money & Power is a modern roots record that plays by its own rules and marches to the beat of its own drum. The same could be said for Ally herself. “I’m thrilled to release this album,” she says. “For me, it’s a sonic embodiment of a woman’s unstoppable ambition, and showcases my musicality on all fronts.”

BAMBEES to Release New Single ‘Noeyes//Nolove’ on February 11th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on January 28, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: BAMBEES. Leave a comment

BAMBEES will release their new single ‘NOEYES//NOLOVE‘ on the 11th February, via Flip Flop Records.

“NOEYES//NOLOVE is built around a loud, groovy riff and fast, physical momentum — made for sweaty rooms. The track plays with the idea of a parasite living inside you: a negative part of yourself that drains you and can’t be removed. It’s handled with a raw, aggressive edge rather than anything overly dark.”

Preorder here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/bambees/noeyesnolove

BAMBEES are a chaotic concoction of Welsh life, loud riffs, and unfiltered energy. Formed in the heart of Merthyr Tydfil, their sound is soaked in the grit of post-industrial Wales: hard-working, rough around the edges, and defiantly alive. 

On stage, their name has become shorthand for high-energy chaos—five close friends turning raw emotion into a glorious racket that’s as much about community as it is about noise. The BAMBEES take the frustration, humour, and heart of their hometown and hurl it through jagged guitar riffs, pounding drums, and shout-along choruses, creating performances that feel like both a rebellion and a celebration.

Discography:
Modern Casanova – Single (2023) 
On with the Show – Single (2023) 
Failure Behaviour – Single (2023) 
Unlucky Rabbit – Single (2024) 
Soup of the Day – EP (2025)

• Played Chepstow Castle, supporting The Blackout (2025)

• Airplay on BBC Introducing Wales and local radio stations. 
• Headline shows across South Wales.
