JORDSJUK Release New Single ‘Parasitt’ from Upcoming Debut Album

On June 13, JORDSJUK released Parasitt – a sonic infection and the third single from their upcoming debut album Naglet til livet. This isn’t a song. It’s a condition. A blackened metal assault that gnaws at the flesh, claws through the mind, and seeps deep beneath the skin.

Listen to the single here: https://ffm.to/parasitt

Parasitt is a deep dive into existential, gut-wrenching ugliness. It’s about being trapped in filth, in thought – in everything that makes you hate existence, the band says. And it’s hard not to believe them. This isn’t music for sunny days. This is the soundtrack to sleepless nights and inner collapse.

Jordsjuk rise from Norway’s abyss with their most unforgiving track to date. A concentrated blast of raw nerve and dark matter, where black metal, death, and punk collide in a toxic brew. Forget melody. Forget harmony. This is suffocating riffs, feral vocals, and a rhythm section with no regard for your well-being.

This is one of the most uncompromising tracks on the album. This is distilled sonic disease.

Drums were recorded at PhatCat Studios, Rygge. The rest, guitars, bass, and vocals were tracked across various locations in Norway. It was then sent to Salem, Massachusetts, where Kurt Ballou (Converge) handled the mix at God City Studios. Mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege in Portland, giving Parasitt the heavy, unfiltered finish it deserves
Artwork-Parasitt: Sindre Foss Skancke

Jordsjuk is Renton, Mannevond, Sagstad, and Larsen, four hardened individuals from Norway’s underground. Their music doesn’t ask for your approval; it lunges straight for the throat and refuses to let go.

Parasitt offers yet another glimpse into the most extreme corners of Naglet til livet, their debut album set for release in fall 2025. And as the band themselves put it: Necro times call for necro music.

You’ve been warned.

Line-up:
Renton – Drums
Mannevond – Vocals
Sagstad – Guitars
Larsen – Bass

IDA MARIA Hits Summer Full Force with Steaming Hot Single ‘Lust’

Like you might expect “Lust” is sexy, delicious, and unapologetically enticing.
With funky bass, slick rhythm guitars, and a groove made to dance on your ex’s memory, this song is pure fire!

Listen to the single here: https://ffm.to/idamarialust

Continuing her bold exploration of the Seven Deadly Sins, Ida confronts the sin of lust with the same level of sass and power as we’ve seen in her previous two singles “More” and “Lazy”.
This new song explore how amazing it is to be wanted and to experience positive reinforcement on your body or your energy, but it also questions who the real sinner is?
The lusting or the lusted for?

Love the body you’re in, feel good in your skin, and enjoy the fire of long summer nights.
Lust is a celebration of freedom, desire, and turning shame into strength!

About Ida Maria
Ida Maria is a Norwegian punk-rock powerhouse celebrated for her electrifying live performances and raw, melodic energy. Drawing inspiration from icons like Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, as well as her contemporaries, Ida Maria’s music blends a rebellious rock attitude with sharp social commentary.

Ida Maria grew up in the small town of Nesna in the far north of Norway—a town that may seem an unlikely birthplace for a new female international rock star. But talent and willpower know no borders, and in 2008 she crashed onto the international scene with anthems like “I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked” and “Oh My God” from her debut album, Fortress Round My Heart (2008).

Her powerful, raw voice and high-energy live performances led her to perform at major festivals, including Roskilde (Denmark), Reading (UK), and SXSW (US), as well as collaborate with legends like Iggy Pop and earn praise from artists such as Tom Waits. She has released several albums, including Katla (2010) and Scandalize My Name (2016), and her work has been featured in films, TV shows, and commercials- like Grey’s Anatomy, Big Mouth, Skins, Gossip Girl +++, further solidifying her influence in pop culture.

Ida Maria’s new full-length album is due in fall 2025, and it’s a true powerhouse of a record.
The narrative behind the songs revolves around the Seven Deadly Sins. Through catchy rhythms, sing-along chorus, and sassy yet clever lyrics, Ida Maria delivers a provocative and passionate exploration of sin and the contemporary world we live in.

BONEYARD LILY Release First Song ‘You Never Died’

After Finnish doom metal band Planeetta 9 went on an indefinite hiatus in 2023, the band’s songwriting duo Jukka Salo and Sami Suominen cautiously returned to music following a year-long break. Early on, they were joined by Antti Laitinen, a familiar face from Jukka’s previous band projects.

The trio set out to create genre-free, beautiful, and melancholic music, drawing inspiration from 1980s The Cure-style gothic rock, 1990s and 2000s alternative and indie rock and pop, touches of Black Sabbath-inspired riffing, and the atmospheric indie sound of the 2020s à la Cigarettes After Sex.

The first release from this new musical chapter is the single You Never Died – a delicate and deeply personal track dedicated to Jukka’s late aunt.

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Amazon Music etc.): https://push.fm/fl/boneyardlily-youneverdied

  • ISRC: ushm22576105
  • Composition: Salo & Suominen
  • Lyrics: Salo

The recording and production process also brought in a group of seasoned music professionals outside the core trio, including Janne Oinas (bass), Jere Saarainen (keyboards) Leo Kunnas (drums), Matias Koskimies (mixing), Matias Kiiveri (mastering) and Janne Saksa (studio & recording) each contributing their own strong signature to the project.

Swedish thrash and melodic death metal band VILT strives to take the Scandinavian sound to new heights. Through aggressive riffs, fast drums, and intense vocal performances they have already established a unique signature style. Following the success of their two-track single Adversary in 2022, which led to a performance at In Flames’ Dalhalla Brinner festival, VILT released the EP …To Mourn The Death Of A Stranger in 2024.

‘Immortality is our tribute to Gothenburg’s melodic death metal. The lyrics started out as a letter to my younger self but grew into a bigger message for anyone who’s ever felt different or lost. It’s a call to walk your own path and ignore the norms and expectations. Things will get better, being true to yourself is always worth it, and it’s never too late to make the change you’ve always wanted!” – VILT

PHANTOMY Released Debut Album “From The Wild”

Phantomy, a hard rock newcomer from Iisalmi, Finland, released their debut album From the Wild on June 13th 2025 via Inverse Records. The album is available both on CD and all major streaming platforms, delivering a dose of raw rock attitude straight from the deep woods and smoky garages of Iisalmi.

LISTEN to ‘From The Wild’ album: https://push.fm/fl/phantomy-album 

Track list:

  1. From The Wild
  2. High Octane
  3. Tiger Wound
  4. Lost in the Night
  5. The Freezing Moon
  6. Christine
  7. Wild Jungle Woman
  8. Bad Blood

Mixed & Mastered by Rasmus Laurila
Cover art by Essi Kesänen

Phantomy was formed in 2020, when the band members decided to start a group that would play heavy music with skill — but without forgetting the spirit of rock’n’roll. For the past few years, the band has been laying the groundwork for their debut album, playing occasional shows mainly in their hometown area. Now, that work has finally paid off, and the band is gearing up to release From the Wild.

The band’s drummer Herkko Lappalainen gives some background on the album and its creation:

“We started making this album after a couple of years of playing together and doing gigs, and we approached it the old-school DIY way, recording whenever and wherever we could. The end result is a brutally raw and gritty-sounding record that definitely brings a fresh kick to both the Finnish and international rock’n’roll and heavy metal scenes. Our goal was to create a proper album experience — packed with catchy songs and full-throttle energy — but also to capture that dangerous, unpredictable feeling both in the performances and the sound itself. To achieve that, we ditched the click track and heavy-handed editing right from the start.”
 

The album’s two singles, High Octane and Wild Jungle Woman, represent the catchier and more accessible side of the record, but guitarist Eetu Räsänen promises there’s plenty more to discover:

“In a way, the album turned out pretty interesting because, even though every song is clearly rooted in classic heavy metal, they all have their own vibe. When you listen to the whole album, it feels a bit like a wild ride through different territories. You get a bit of everything — from the melodic rock’n’roll chaos of High Octane to the leather-clad heavy riffs of The Freezing Moon, from the punk-fueled madness of From the Wild to the epic ballad atmosphere of Bad Blood.”
 

To support the album, Phantomy will also hit the road for a string of shows across Finland, with more details to be announced on the band’s social media channels.

Line-up:
Samu Karhu – Vocals
Eetu Räsänen – Guitar & backing vocals
Rasmus Laurila – Guitar & backing vocals
Roope Lappalainen – Bass
Herkko Lappalainen – Drums
