FINNR’S CANE Announce Self-Titled New Album + Reveal First Single ‘Twilight Glow’

Out of the cold stillness of northern Ontario comes “Twilight Glow” – the first single from Finnr’s Cane’s forthcoming self-titled album, slated for release on August 29.

Finnr’s Cane commented:

“Twilight Glow” is a song that represents Finnr’s Cane well. Rooted in traditional atmospheric black metal, it meanders along a winding path from beginning to end. The vocals receive sharper focus than in our previous work, creating a lush dynamic with the resonant guitar chords. It’s a piece that feels both familiar and new within the Finnr’s Cane catalogue.

The long Canadian winter has many voices, but few speak with the introspective clarity of Finnr’s Cane. Emerging from the icy expanse of Sudbury, Ontario, the duo’s self-titled fourth album is a meditation on transition: the slow dying of autumn, the silence of snowfall, and the liminal space between nature and civilisation.

Though rooted in atmospheric black metal, Finnr’s Cane forgo many of the genre’s conventions. There is no bass guitar; instead, low-end warmth and mournful resonance are carried by cello and keyboard, lending the music an organic, almost spectral quality. Rather than follow rigid structures, their songs unfold through improvisation, guided by mood and instinct.

Comparable in spirit to acts like Wolves in the Throne Room, Agalloch, and Fen, Finnr’s Cane tread a kindred path but speak in a voice entirely their own – one that has resonated since their 2010 debut, “Wanderlust”, and continued through critically acclaimed releases on Prophecy Productions and Frostscald Records. This latest work marks their first collaboration with Nordvis, a natural home for their singular vision.

Finnr’s Cane commented:

The final form of this album emerged slowly and instinctively, informed by our experiences and emotions over a long period of time. We carefully distilled it into what we’re certain is our absolute best work to date.

With “The Voice Inside”, the Swedes SOLE SYNDICATE release a foretaste of their new album “The Reckoning”, which will be released in fall!

“The Voice Inside” is the perfect first single from “The Reckoning” because it represents what Sole Syndicate is. It´s heavy yet still melodic. It has a groovy and heavy rhythm but still elements of delicacy, a melodic chorus and powerful lyrics. 
We want our fans to sing along to big choruses but at the same time put some thoughts into their minds about what the song is all about, and what the whole album is all about.”

THE MEAN TIMES to Release Wicked New Single ‘Hell’ on June 27th

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 22, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: THE MEAN TIMES. Leave a comment

Melbourne’s finest donkeys of musical mischief, The Mean Times, are back with ‘Hell’, the second single from their upcoming album ‘Feel More Dumb’, dropping September 2025 via Golden Robot Records. ‘Hell’ is set to release June 27 and is available for pre-save now: https://orcd.co/the-mean-times-hell

A garage-pop post-punk panic attack disguised as a party anthem, ‘Hell’ is part sermon, part sleaze, and fully unhinged. Imagine The Vines if they took their meds with beer instead of water. Or early Arctic Monkeys after two weeks of no sleep, bad decisions, and worse influences. It’s Dune Rats with existential dread. Depeche Mode getting personal with Jesus. You get the picture. But underneath the mayhem is a message – or maybe the absence of one.

‘Hell’ is a filthy, sex-positive anthem that kicks down the doors of shame and invites everyone in. Too many sex songs cater to straight male fantasies. This one’s for everyone who enjoys getting dirty, regardless of gender or orientation. With surreal euphemisms, cheeky blasphemy, and a whole lot of hip-thrusting swagger, it’s unapologetic, inclusive, and just plain fun. 

Musically, it’s the collision of a breakdown and a banger, snarling sarcasm and earworm choruses, driven by a rhythm section that hits like a stolen shopping trolley careening downhill. It’s the sound of trying to keep it together while everything around you burns – fast, loud, and somehow danceable. There’s no redemption arc here. No moral compass. Just a hook-filled descent into joyful chaos. It’s the end of the world. Bring a saddle. And maybe a safe word.

Thomas Morgan – Vocals, guitar
Robert Meerbach – Bass
Eoin Clements – Guitar, backing vocals
Ryan Williams – Drums

HOSTYLER Release New Single “Spilling My Guts Out”

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 21, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: HOSTYLER. Leave a comment

A direct hit to the heart of hypocrisy. Groove metal, rage, and unfiltered truth.

Get ready to feel the impact. Hostyler, the groove/alternative metal band from Brescia, is back to shake the speakers with the release of their brand-new single “Spilling My Guts Out”, out now via Wanikiya Record/Promotion and available on all major digital platforms.

A powerful, fierce, and straight-to-the-point return. “Spilling My Guts Out” is much more than just a song: it’s an act of rebellion, a screamed outburst filled with the raw energy of the most authentic and sharp-edged groove metal.

AN AUTHENTIC CREATION, BORN FROM THE BASS… LITERALLY

The track comes to life from a killer riff by bassist Davide Melloncelli, the beating heart of the band. From there, in true Hostyler fashion, the collective work began: complete creative freedom, intense discussions, and surgical precision in refining the song until the perfect melody emerged—the one that screams exactly what the band wants to say.

A SONG THAT HITS STRAIGHT AT THE TRUTH

Written during the darkest days of the pandemic, “Spilling My Guts Out” is a declaration of war against hypocrisy. It’s a call to take off the masks, to speak the truth, to refuse silence and complicity.

“Whether it’s to get something off your chest or to take responsibility, it doesn’t matter. What matters is doing it. Always.”
– Eddie Fedrigolli, vocalist and lyricist

The track is adrenaline-charged, gritty, and honest, fully reflecting the band’s soul: no compromises, just truth.

THE BAND:
Formed in 2016, Hostyler are:
Davide “Eddie” Fedrigolli – Vocals and guitar
Alex “Pilo” Pilotelli – Guitar and backing vocals
Diego “Rock” La Rosa – Drums
Davide Melloncelli – Bass and backing vocals

Four musicians with different musical backgrounds—but united by a common vision: to create powerful, engaging music with a strong message. Their influences range from funk to thrash metal, from rap to blues, all the way to hard rock, with lyrics in English that tackle social and personal issues with great emotional and thematic impact.
