Rising hard rock act Gods Of Tomorrow has dropped their latest single, “Fire and Ice,” alongside a lyric video — the second taste of their upcoming debut album Gods Of Tomorrow, due July 11, 2025, via Wormholedeath.
“Fire and Ice” is a searing anthem that rips through the chaos of war, faith, and fate. With crushing riffs, haunting vocals, and a chorus built for stadiums, this track dives deep into the eternal clash of ideals and the battlefield of the soul.
⚔️ “Like fire and ice we’re bleeding for religions…” These lyrics hit hard — reflecting the madness of conflict and the cost of blind devotion. Set against a backdrop of epic melodies and cinematic aggression, Fire and Ice is both a war cry and a warning.
Gods Of Tomorrow is the brainchild of Konstantinos, guitarist and former co-founder of Electrified, whose 2022 debut World on Fire made waves in the rock and metal scene. Driven to push further, he assembled a powerhouse lineup blending trusted collaborators and fresh talent to create a new melodic hard rock force.
Fronted by Felipe Del Valle, whose commanding vocals cut through with clarity and emotion, the band features Rainer Hemmelmann on bass, Cherubini on drums, and Thomy Gunn on guitars — each bringing technical skill and raw passion to the mix. With Konstantinos also on guitar, their sound fuses heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and precision-driven energy.
Together, Gods Of Tomorrow channel the heart of rock and the strength of metal — delivering music that hits hard, stays memorable, and is built for the stage.
Following the emotional impact of his recent single “Into Thin Air”, rock drummer and solo artist Jeff Fabb returns with a gripping new release, “Listen to Hear” — a reflective, introspective track that challenges the listener to go beyond passive hearing and truly listen.
At its core, “Listen to Hear” explores the difference between hearing and listening — between sound and meaning. It’s a call to mindfulness in a world filled with noise. Fabb crafts lyrics that push for internal clarity, focusing on what it means to consciously tune into not only others, but ourselves.
“This song is about being present — not just hearing the world around you, but truly listening to it. Listening to your instincts. Listening to what’s inside. That’s where the answers live.”
– Jeff Fabb
Musically, the track builds on Fabb’s signature fusion of hard rock grit and melodic introspection. Soaring guitars, pulsing rhythms, and haunting vocal melodies evoke comparisons to Alice In Chains, Tool, and Soundgarden — yet the voice and message are unmistakably his own.
The track’s sonic intensity is matched by its lyrical depth. “Listen to Hear” speaks to anyone caught in the chaos of modern life, reminding us that clarity and peace come not from volume, but from intention.
About Jeff Fabb
Jeff Fabb is a revered drummer, multi-instrumentalist, and solo artist whose dynamic career has spanned decades in the rock and metal scenes. Known for his work with iconic bands including In This Moment, Filter, Sixx: A.M., and Black Label Society, Fabb has spent years shaping the sound of heavy music from behind the kit.
His solo work, however, reveals a different side — one of deep introspection, raw emotion, and spiritual searching. In 2023, he released his debut solo album Stealing Souls, praised for blending the power of grunge, alternative, and hard rock with soul-searching lyrics. His 2025 single “Into Thin Air” garnered critical attention for its emotional storytelling and Jeff’s music earned features in Metal Hammer, Rockfeed, The Needle Drop and other respected outlets.
With “Listen to Hear”, Fabb continues his evolution as a solo artist — combining heavy music with thoughtful messaging in a way that resonates long after the final chord fades.
Known for their no-nonsense edge and emotionally charged sound, Love nor Money bring a fresh, uncompromising energy to the label and, to celebrate the new partnership with Golden Robot Records, the band have released their brand-new single ‘Blood Will Tell’. The single’s available to stream now across all major platforms.
‘Blood Will Tell‘ is a potent statement of intent – a defiant anthem that confronts self-entitlement and the toxic desire to see others fail. Built on the belief that genuine talent and patience can cut through the noise.
From the birth place of heavy rock comes Birmingham’s next finest export, Love Nor Money. Two brothers, Bob and Eddie Firth are joined by Troy Weaver on drums to breathe fresh air into an age of music struggling to find an era-defining band. Love nor Money’s mission is simple and clear, to be the band that music lovers have been waiting for.
Formed in 2023, Love nor Money instantly set themselves apart with a fusion of West Midlands-heavy riffs and Mersey-melodic clarity to summon a new dawn of rock that pays ultimate respect to its ancestors. An incendiary back drop of guitars sounding so powerful they could bring down skyscrapers fuel the emotive, relatable lyrics of Bobby Firth’s harrowing vocals.
A clear passion for early blues and 70s rock is unmistakable in Love nor Money’s unique identity pertaining to an authentic retro influence that’s never sounded so current. The debut EP, Shame of Short Lifespan, will take you on a journey of influences from the notorious riffs of Zeppelin, to the groove of the Stones while evidencing a deep lyrical appreciation for the likes of Ray Davies, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits – the band’s dearest lyrical inspirations. “In writing the songs it was important to us from the outset as a band not to subscribe to one emotion. We didn’t want to be known as the band that only wrote sad songs any more so than the band that only wrote happy ones. Life’s not that simple. It’s messy, it changes. One day’s different from the next. That’s what we want to capture in our music, the whole thing, not just a part of it and hopefully the EP conveys that. There are songs of ours that will make you think, songs that will make you laugh and songs that will make you want to dance but what is imperative is that they are all relatable.” – Bobby Firth
’Star quality and sardonic lyrics reminiscent of all the best storytellers of the genre’ – Maximum Volume Music.
From Late Ultimatum, a chilling depiction of those who lost everything during the UK’s recent ‘cost-of-living crisis’ at the merciless hands of profiteering corporations, to ‘Was it Something I Said’ – a poke of fun at cancel culture, Love nor Money cover a broad spectrum of themes with the perfect blend of hurt and wit, dismay and irony. With visions aligned, Love nor Money signed to Golden Robot Records in April 2025. Two further EPs and an eagerly-awaited debut album are planned for the forthcoming 18 months with regular live shows at the heart of the band’s priorities.
CGCM Rock radio: “What a fabulous album. An album of SONGS, with melodies, vocal harmonies and memorable riffs as well. The flow is great as it weaves its way, they obviously didn’t throw them together, they positioned them (the songs) for the highs and lows emotionally of the melodies and lyrics”
Overtone Mag: “This is a phenomenal album!…. this blew all my expectations out of the water! It really is banger after banger….. The band have been going from strength to strength on the live circuit, and this album may quite easily push them up a level or two! A must for an rock fans out there, and an album I’ll be spinning for months to come!”
MetalTalk: “The sound of Summer ’25? Quite possibly. Beyond that, it certainly merits inclusion when followers and commentators alike compile their Album of the Year lists. The performance of a lifetime, so far at any rate. The mind boggles as to where their musical odyssey will yet convey them.”
Liverpool Sound & Vision: “…Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia create havoc and brilliance in equal measure, not content with taking down the smug and ineffectual, they rally all the cause of keeping the genre alive and relevant as we approach the new styled 30s in the distance, a decade which promises musical confusion and declared non-human authorship if we permit it. A cracking, thumping album from a grand pair working towards rock royalty.”
Rockposer.com: “There’s no doubt that Star Circus have the ammunition. The song writing is of a very high standard, especially in the first half of the album. Slightly quirky, part hard rock, part power pop, but all infectious melodies, vocals and harmonies. Perfect ingredients.”

‘From The Wreckage’ sees the band take a huge step forward, pushing boundries and themselves, and the end result is an absolutely storming rocker of an album that’s guaranteed to delight fans and gain many more!
Dave comments on the new album:
“Feeling invigorated following the positive response to our first album and many national tours, we set aside the first half of 2024 to write and record our second album as a band. However, most of last year proved to be a challenging time for us. Cancellations, lineup and management issues plagued us, along with fear and disbelief at the state of the world in general.
As a consequence, ‘From The Wreckage’ is definitely a heavier, darker and more aggressive beast both lyrically and musically than it’s predecessor. On the other hand there’s definitely both light and shade, and a positive outlook depicted in the title; that we’re coming back stronger than ever. First and foremost, we’re really proud of all the songs, but it’s also a landmark in our evolution from our little project into a fully-fledged rock n’ roll animal!” Star Circus are a London-based rock band led by Dave Winkler and Sophie Aurelia Young, influenced by classic rock artists including Queen, Thin Lizzy, Cheap Trick, Def Leppard and Alice Cooper.
The band was formed in 2019 by frontman Dave, who’s songwriting caught the attention of radio legend Tony Wilson. The pair worked together on creating the debut album ‘Separate Sides’ which Tony produced, and was released in December 2022 to an overwhelmingly positive critical response.
Following the album release and several UK tours supporting a host of international acts, the Star Circus lineup has now become a collaborative band-project, with other musicians contributing to the songwriting. As well as the added influences of other songwriters, the new album also features various accomplished guest guitarists including Tom Draper (ex Carcass, Spirit Adrift) and Ritchie Mohicano (Dobermann), and the notable addition of Sophie’s vocals (including lead vocals on Masquerade). The band also landed a global distribution deal with the Arizona-based record label Renaissance Records. Their sophomore album “From The Wreckage” is out now and is available on all the popular streaming and download platforms, on CD and vinyl. “Possessing an eclectic range of influences stretching from classic hard rock, through AOR, 80s Glam Metal, 90s American power pop… these fuse faultlessly to form a sound that is stacked full of infectious melodies, grandiose vocal and instrumental harmonies plus colossally catchy choruses” – Sophie James, METALTALK

1 Song, 1 Video – over 10 MINUTES of Pure Heavy Metal Power! That’s what the rising Heavy Metal force Wings of Steel brings with their brand new track Winds of Time. Accompanied by a music video, the band delivers a message that highlights the darker aspects of humanity’s past and present. Winds of Time is the title track and first single from the band’s upcoming and highly anticipated second studio album, scheduled for release in October 2025.
“We are extraordinarily proud and excited to be putting out Winds of Time. This is by far our biggest and most ambitious project to date. Releasing this over 10 minute epic track both as a single and a music video seemingly goes against everything the music industry tells you in terms of do’s and don’ts. But we decided to bend the rules a bit and release Winds of Time as the lead single from our upcoming album”, the band comments. “With this track, we get a chance to openly reflect on how the past is still very much alive and relevant in today’s world, where the same tragic neglect of human lives and rights that devastated prior generations, is unfolding in many corners of the world today. The message of the song paired with the classic, yet modern sound of our band come together to create something truly unique and powerful.”
Written and produced by the independent old-school hard rockers from L.A. themselves, Wings of Steel’s brand new track quickly reveals itself as a 10-minute-monster that really takes no prisoners. From the transparent mix and mastering by Damien Rainaud (Mix Unlimited), which arranges all instruments in the listener’s headspace in an almost three-dimensional fashion, to pummeling, nicely sculptured bass lines by Parker Halub to his classic heavy metal leads and twin-solos allowing the guitars to roar, scream and wail, to Leo Unnermark’s signature power metal voice – Wings of Steel pushes all the right buttons to infuse any 80’s metal maniac’s day with a healthy moment of sheer bliss.

About Wings of Steel
Wings of Steel is a Los Angeles-based Heavy Metal/Hard Rock band founded by vocalist LeoUnnermark and guitarist ParkerHalub in 2019. Rooted primarily in the old-school style of hard rock and heavy metal from the 70s and 80s, the band’s sound can be described as an epic and unique blend of those classic styles. Unnermark’s bluesy touch and dynamically powerful vocal register, paired with Halub’s bombastic riffs and expressive soloing, come together to form a distinctive and massive sound that fans of hard rock and heavy metal have been waiting for. In 2022, the band released their debut EP Wings of Steel, which quickly established them as a force to be reckoned with within the underground heavy metal scene. Building on their momentum, the following year the band released their first full length album Gates of Twilight (2023), which is regarded by many as one of the best heavy metal albums in recent years. Wings of Steel embarked on their first European tour in the spring of 2024, where they received praise for their ability to deliver energetic live performances at the same high caliber as on their studio releases. The energy of their live presence was captured and highlighted on their live album Live in France (2024). On June 13, 2025, the band reveals Winds of Time, their most ambitious single and project to date. Winds of Time is a titanic track that comes with a music video for a total running time of over 10 minutes. With this single, the band demonstrates their unique position and sound in the current Heavy Metal scene. To date, Wings of Steel has played over a dozen shows in the United States and Europe, including performances at well-renowned festivals and venues such as Heavy Week-end, Rock Hard Festival, The Whisky-A-Go-Go, Keep It True Festival, Up the Hammers Festival, and more.
Sun After Dark, a new progressive dark metal band from Germany led by Benjamin König (ex-Lunar Aurora), have released their debut album Tatkraft via Hammerheart Records today.
To celebrate this momentous occasion, Benjamin comments: “It’s an honor for me to be able to release my debut album Tatkraft via Hammerheart Records! Together with outstanding musicians and artists, a rich and powerful album was created. If you’re looking for something unique and full of character in today’s music world, you’ll find it here! Eight black songs, but at their core with a lot of light and energy. For all open minds looking for a mix of LUNAR AURORA, EMPYRIUM and dark metal, this will be just the thing!“
For fans of: Rammstein, Celtic Frost, Empyrium, The Vision Bleak
Sun After Dark is the project of Benjamin König from Germany, best known as a founding member of the black metal band Lunar Aurora (1994–2012). As the band’s primary composer, he was responsible for nine albums and various compilations. Now, with Sun After Dark, König will release his debut album, Tatkraft — a German word meaning drive, energy, or moxie.
The music on Tatkraft blends modern elements with black metal, dark atmospheres, heavy guitars, and intense, evocative moods, with a hint of mythology woven in. Life is made up of stories, experiences, and defining moments — mastering it often requires “tatkraft”. This album explores those experiences, shaped and expressed with that same spirit. The lyrics are in English, German, and Bavarian dialect, a nod to König’s roots in Upper Bavaria.
Tatkraft was produced by Victor Bullok (Triptykon) at Woodshed Studio in autumn 2024. Following this collaboration, Thomas Helm and Benjamin König have decided to continue Sun After Dark as a duo. However, the project remains a studio endeavour, with no plans for live performances — each member is active in other well-known bands, such as Empyrium and Dark Fortress, where they can be seen on stage.
Tracklist: 1. Dawn and Dirges 2. Waidmanns Hoffnung 3. Ohne Gråb 4. Schlittenfahrt 5. Burning Blue 6. Näbe 7. Leaving Metropolis 8. Antarctic Morning
Line-up: Benjamin König – Guitars, Bass, Keys Thomas Helm – Vocals Matthias Jell – Vocals Martin Falkenstein – Vocals Matthias Landes – Drums Katrin Rohde – Strings
