MESHIAAK Release New Single & Video ‘Crown The Crowd’

Australian Metal band, MESHIAAK, have released their new single and music video for ‘CROWN THE CROWD‘. Watch below the video.

“Crown the Crowd” is a thunderous return to form that redefines the band’s signature sound for a new era. The official music video, a high-octane visual manifesto, premieres today on YouTube. With guttural riffs, cinematic production, and an unrelenting spirit, “Crown the Crowd” sets the stage for Meshiaak’s next chapter—louder, sharper, and more defiant than ever.

Making a powerful return is Dean Wells, founding guitarist, producer, and the creative force behind Meshiaak’s lauded early material. Replacing Logan Mader (Machine Head, Soulfly), Wells reignites the fire that first put the band on the international metal map.

Joining Wells is Nick Ross (drums), stepping in for Jon Dette (Slayer, Anthrax), whose precision and aggression add a modern punch to the band’s already ferocious rhythm section. Shane Laing takes up dual duties on vocals and guitar, bringing a fresh but fearlessly familiar voice to the helm, while original bassist Nick Walker completes the reformed and reinvigorated lineup.

“Crown the Crowd” isn’t just a new single—it’s a battle cry. A call to arms for fans old and new, the track seamlessly fuses Meshiaak’s thrash roots with a surgically modern edge, standing tall as both an homage to their past and a bold leap forward.

“This track is about reclaiming identity, not just as a band but as a movement,” says Dean Wells. “We’re not chasing trends—we’re leading a resurgence.”

Slave Keeper moves musically along the border between hard rock and heavy metal. Catchy melodies, powerful and versatile vocals, juicy riffs, and soaring guitar harmonies—all undeniably inspired by the giants of the genre, yet delivered in the band’s own distinctive style.

Formed in 2014, Slave Keeper has performed on numerous stages across Poland, sharing the bill with acts such as Deep Purple, Nazareth, Jorn and Absolva. In 2022, the band released its debut album “Ślad” (en. Trace), featuring 12 diverse, original songs. The album was met with critical and audience acclaim, showcasing the band’s broad musical palette—from fast-paced heavy metal gallops and heartfelt ballads to richly arranged, multilayered compositions.

The band’s second album titled “Podwójna gra” (en. Double Game), is set to be released in October 2025. Stylistically, it continues the path paved by the debut, while delving deeper into its core theme: a musical journey through the human psyche, where primal forces of good and evil clash in a timeless inner conflict that defines the human condition.

Music for album “Podwójna gra” was recorded, mixed and mastered by Łukasz Suszko at Wesoła 24 Studio (Shadow Warrior, Toughness, Rusted Brain) who also played guest keyboard parts. Cover artwork was done by Piotr Szafraniec (Lost Soul, Trauma, Vader). The album is now available for pre-order on CD and vinyl (LP) – here.

LINE-UP:

Marta Biernacka – vocals
Piotr Miećko – guitar
Piotr Jakubowicz – guitar
Jakub Orłowski – bass
Piotr Szalak – drums

JORDFÄST Launch Second Single And Video ‘Ett Altare Av Skärvor Pt.3’

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: . Leave a comment

Swedish JORDFÄST are back after some time with their latest opus, Blodsdåd och hor.

Today, the band presents a second taste of their upcoming album with their second single, Ett Altare av skärvor pt.3.

Stream here: https://orcd.co/ett-altare-av-skarvor-pt-3

Jordfäst about the song -Ett altare av skärvor” (An altar of shards) combines fragments from Völuspá with imagery of violent manipulation and mental torture to explore the everlasting desire in humans to make sense of their existence.

Jordfäst are

Elis – Guitars, bass, keyboards, clean vocals,
Lyrics Olof – Lead vocals, lyrics
Jocke – Drums

CD/LP Digital available at https://orcd.co/blodsdad-och-hor

Bloodshed and whoredom is the third installment in the Jordfäst saga and the darkest chapter thus far. Bellowed by the winds from the past, it is forged with steel and blood in a furnace built by Scandinavian rock. The lyrical themes and musical compositions bond together, forming a strong and durable alloy. Under the unyielding strokes of hammers, the characteristic Jordfäst soundscape has been hardened, and the melodies have been thoroughly honed by melancholia to deep-cutting perfection.

“Ett altare av skarvar” (An altar of shards) combines fragments from Völuspá with imagery of violent manipulation and mental torture to explore the everlasting desire in humans to make sense of their existence. “Dit gudarna trälar är” (Where the gods are thralls) journeys through centuries of Swedish history, shaped by the steel and iron industry and defined by relentless warfare.

Track list:

  1. Dit gudarna trälar är
  2. Ett altare av skärvor

Reinforcer has released a lyric video for “Ice And Death”, title track and first single taken from the new album to be released on August 22 by Scarlet Records.

“Ice And Death” takes you deep into Norse mythology. The ground trembles beneath a mighty stomp, as a roaring guitar riff tears through the silence – Ymir, the ancient frost-born titan, has awakened. With thunderous double bass drums and battle-hardened vocals, the song charges forward like an unstoppable force, summoning the wrath of the old world. Get ready for a heavy metal hurricane in a mystical world.

“Ice And Death”:

  • second full-length album for the German melodic power metal quintet after the successful debut “Prince Of The Tribes”;
  • mixed and mastered by Kai Stahlenberg at Kohlekeller Studio (Powerwolf);
  • cover artwork by Hendrik Noack;
  • FFO: Blind Guardian, Manowar, Iced Earth, Helloween, Running Wild;

1 Heir Of The Bear
2 Dead Men Tell No Tales
3 Skogamor
4 The Witch Mayor
5 Ice And Death
6 The Piper

Total running time – 37:40

Marking their tenth anniversary, and following the self-released EP “The Wanderer” (2018) and the debut full-length “Prince Of The Tribes” (2021), German power metal warriors Reinforcer return with a new collection of heroic power metal anthems.

Forged in the flames of myth and history, “Ice And Death” is Reinforcer at their finest: razor-sharp guitar riffs, sweeping dual harmonies and driving double bass rhythms power the soundscape, while Logan Lexi’s commanding vocals roar with great emotional depth. Melancholic melodies intertwine with fist-raising choruses, inviting listeners to sing along in unity and battle spirit.

Taking its name from the Norse legend of Ymir, the frost giant born from ice and chaos, “Ice And Death” leads listeners on a journey through time, retelling tales of plague-ridden cities, deceptive pied pipers, and legendary heroes and rogues from the shadows of the past. Each track is a chapter, echoing with the clang of steel and the whisper of forgotten legends.

Whether recounting the gruesome mystery of the Pied Piper of Hamelin or the haunting grip of the Black Death in London, the album fuses historical drama with dynamic storytelling and touches of dark fantasy.

Reinforcer are:
Logan Lexi – vocals
Niclas Stappert – lead guitar
Tobias Schwarzer – rhythm and lead guitar
Fabiàn Rodriguez – bass
Lasse Schmiedel – drums
