FRONTIERS RECORDS is pleased to share a new rendition of the classic Stryper hit “No More Hell To Pay,” featuring IT’sALIE vocalist Giorgia Colleluori, as part of the upcoming ‘XXX Anniversary Compilation,’ a special project celebrating 30 years of passion, creativity, and unforgettable music. The record is set for release on May 22, 2026, and will be available only on CD in the label’s webstore.

Giorgia Colleluori comments:

“It is a true honor to be included in the 30th anniversary celebration of FRONTIERS RECORDS. Being part of such an important milestone for a label that has contributed so much to the rock and melodic music scene is incredibly meaningful to me. Even more special is the opportunity to perform a song by the legendary Stryper, a band that has inspired generations of musicians and fans around the world.

“The song itself is absolutely amazing, the chorus moved me from the very first listen, and I instantly fell in love with its energy and melody. Singing a track by the great Michael Sweet was also incredibly fun and inspiring, and I truly enjoyed every moment of it. I am deeply grateful to be part of this celebration!” she concluded.

Starting from an idea of Serafino Perugino, the ‘XXX Anniversary Compilation’ brings together some of the greatest melodies and voices from the world of melodic rock. This special release celebrates the label’s rich legacy by revisiting iconic tracks from the FRONTIERS catalogue, reimagined with dynamic new performances from an extraordinary lineup of guest vocalists.

Each track has been recorded exclusively for this anniversary project and showcases the powerful reinterpretation of beloved FRONTIERS classics through the voices of today’s standout rock artists.

Aldo Lonobile, Head of A&R Europe at FRONTIERS LABEL GROUP and producer of the record, comments:

“Producing the 30th anniversary record for FRONTIERS RECORDS has been both an honor and a responsibility. This label has built a legacy on passion and vision, and, with this album, we wanted to celebrate that history in a meaningful way. Having a mix of established and new generation of FRONTIERS artists reinterpret the iconic tracks that shaped our identity is more than a tribute – it’s a bridge between eras.

“With a tracklist discussed together with the FRONTIERS President Serafino Perugino, this record is a celebration of where we come from, and a powerful statement of where we’re headed”, he continued.

Under the expert production of Lonobile – who also performs part of the guitars on the album – the performances are backed by a stellar lineup of musicians: Alessandro Mammola (guitar), Andrea Arcangeli (bass), Cristian Timpanaro (bass), the keyboards team – Alessio Lucatti & Antonio Agate, Alfonso Mocerino, and Fortunato Grillo on drums, delivering powerful new arrangements that bring renewed energy to these fan-favorite tracks.

‘XXX Anniversary Compilation’ isn’t just a compilation – it’s a tribute to 30 years of rock excellence, a heartfelt thank you to the artists, fans, and collaborators who have been part of the FRONTIERS RECORDS story.

Veonity signed a new multialbum deal with Scarlet Records.

The partnership between the acclaimed Swedish power metal band and the Italian record label started in 2020 with “Sorrows”, quickly followed in early 2022 by “Elements Of Power”, and culminated in 2024 with the latest, amazing studio album “The Final Element” (the first one with Isak Stenvall on vocals).

«Our mission has always been to be a strong voice in the spreading of power metal. Together we have formed a firm alliance in this duty and we are happy to continue this work with Scarlet for the next Veonity albums» – Veonity

To celebrate this, Veonity just released the stand alone single “Saviour Of Mankind”, previously available as one of the two Japanese bonus-tracks of “The Final Element”.

Veonity is currently working on the follow-up to “The Final Element”, due in 2027. 

HARDBONE Unveil First Single + Video ‘Four To The Floor’ from Upcoming Studio Album

German rock ’n’ roll powerhouse HARDBONE are back! Almost exactly six years after their last release, the band return with their brand new single “Four To The Floor”, the first taste of their upcoming studio album due out in September via Massacre Records.

Driven by raw energy and a no-compromise attitude, “Four To The Floor” is a bold musical statement that perfectly embodies HARDBONE’s unmistakable spirit: gritty, straight-forward and right in your face. The track stands as a tribute to old-school rock ’n’ roll and a love letter to sweat-soaked live shows fueled by pure, handmade guitar music.

STREAM THE SINGLE HERE: https://save-it.cc/massacre/four-to-the-floor

With its infectious hook “three chords, nothing more – four to the floor”, the song captures the essence of what HARDBONE stand for: stripped-down, high-voltage rock that hits hard and sticks instantly.

“Four To The Floor” marks the beginning of a new chapter for the band and sets the tone for their upcoming sixth studio album, which promises to deliver everything fans expect – and more: loud, dirty, uncompromising rock ’n’ roll with maximum impact.

Heavy riffs, stoic drumbeats, pumping bass and vocals that cut through like a buzzsaw – HARDBONE continue to define their sound with relentless energy and authenticity. With nearly 20 years of stage experience and hundreds of shows under their belt, the Hamburg-based band have built a reputation for delivering explosive performances, whether in sweaty clubs or on major festival stages.

Having shared stages with acts like Rose Tattoo and Thundermother and performed multiple times at Wacken Open Air, HARDBONE remain a force to be reckoned with in the modern rock scene – always aiming straight between the eyes.

With a new album on the horizon, HARDBONE reaffirm their mission: 110% rock ’n’ roll – reduced to the maximum.

More details about the album will be revealed soon.

HARDBONE are:
Tim Dammann – vocals
Sebastian Kranke – guitars
Luca Rosnau – guitars
Tim Schwarz – bass
Benjamin Ulrich – drums

Munich’s KEEP IT LOW FESTIVAL is back in full force for 2026, and the line-up keeps getting heavier. Set for October 9th and 10th at Backstage Munich, Germany, the festival once again brings together a stacked bill of fuzz, doom and psychedelic rock, built for loud amps and long nights!

New additions include Norway’s breakout desert rock outfit Slomosa, Sweden’s prog-driven storytellers Hällas and Poland’s fuzz worship institution BelzebonG. Also joining the bill: the hypnotic psych jams of Mondo Drag, the crushing weight of Thronehammer and classic doom revivalists Early Moods. Rounding off the announcement are Coltaine with their atmospheric post-metal, Beehoover’s raw, bass-heavy attack and The Delayed, delivering gritty, high-energy fuzz rock.

Hosted by Sound of Liberation (Desertfest Berlin, Up In Smoke and countless heavy highlights across Europe), and with two stages and a steadily growing line-up, KEEP IT LOW 2026 is shaping up to be another essential gathering for the heavy underground!

PLUME Release New Single ‘Furious Icon’ with Official Video

Posted by tarjavirmakari on April 4, 2026
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: PLUME. Leave a comment

There’s a certain kind of momentum you don’t fake — and right now, PLUME are moving like a band that’s already outgrown the room.

With their new single ‘Furious Icon’, the rising emo force sharpen their edges and lean further into the tension that’s been building across their previous releases. Where earlier tracks hinted at their range, this one locks in — urgent, restless, and wired with the kind of energy that feels one step away from spiraling out.

Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/plume

PLUME’s recent singles didn’t just introduce them; they established a pattern. Each drop pushed a little further, sonically and visually, pulling more people into their orbit without ever feeling calculated. That same instinct carries through ‘Furious Icon’ — controlled chaos with intent behind it.

There’s no attempt here to smooth things out or play it safe. The track thrives on contrast: jagged and melodic, immediate but layered enough to keep revealing new details on repeat listens. It’s the sound of a band figuring out exactly how far they can push their identity — and then going past it anyway.

If the earlier singles were the signal, ‘Furious Icon’ is the confirmation. PLUME aren’t arriving quietly — and they’re definitely not slowing down.

Catch the band live:
 
17.04 – at Helios37
14.05 – Stuttgart at Goldmarks (+ Plume)
15.05 – Munich at Backstage Club (+ Plume)
01.08 – Königstein at Rock Auf Der Burg Festival

ROULETTE Share New Music Video for ‘Answer To My Prayers’

📸: Olle Melkerhed Production

Formed in Sundsvall in 1985, the legendary melodic rock band ROULETTE quickly became a household name with appearances on major Swedish TV shows and shared stages with giants like Status Quo. Early recordings led to the single “Only The Strong” on Cupol Records, but it wasn’t until 2008 that their debut album, ‘Better Late Than Never,’ finally saw the light of day.

A new era began in 2015 with the single “Secret Room,” produced by Chris Rehn, which reignited the band’s momentum and paved the way for the acclaimed 2019 album ‘Now!.’ Last year, ROULETTE celebrated their 40th anniversary with the release of their highly praised album ‘GO!’—a record that entered charts worldwide and secured the #13 spot on Rocknytt’s “Top 50 Albums of the Year 2025.”

Today, to mark the continued success of ‘GO!,’ ROULETTE proudly release a brand new video and digital single for the album’s opening track, “Answer To My Prayers.”

With their signature blend of strong melodies, powerful riffs, and one of Sweden’s finest vocal performances, the band continues to build on influences like Thin Lizzy, Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, and Van Halen, proving that ROULETTE’s story is far from over.

GO!’ Track List:

  1. Answer To My Prayers
  2. Fire In Your Eyes
  3. We Remember You
  4. Strangers
  5. What Are We Looking For
  6. Take Me As I Am
  7. Brand New Start
  8. Don’t Be Sorry
  9. She Can’t Hide
  10. Better Walk Away
