LOVE IS NOISE unveil their emotionally charged new single “Everyone Bleeds”, following the success of their debut album “To Live In a Different Way.” Released via Century Media, the track blends heavy riffs, melodic vocals, and experimental soundscapes while exploring themes of vulnerability and the human experience.
Frontman Cam Humphrey describes it as the band at their most vulnerable: heavy, catchy, and some of their best songwriting to date. It also marks the first release with new members Sam Clark (Bass), Alex Ioannou (Guitar/Vocals), and Joe Pink (Drums).
This fall, Love Is Noise will join Loathe and Zetra on tour, bringing their evolving sound to a larger audience. “Everyone Bleeds” cements their reputation as one of alternative music’s most exciting rising acts.
FUTURE PALACE are making big moves in 2025. The German band has officially signed with Century Media Records and just released their powerful new single “Cyclone.”
“Cyclone” dives deep into themes of self-conflict, depression, and rebirth — a storm of emotions that mirrors the struggle of fighting old versions of yourself. It’s the band’s first new music since 2024’s Distortion and features their heaviest breakdown to date.
This fall, Future Palace will also embark on their first-ever North American tour, marking a huge step in their growing international career.
NILS PATRIK JOHANSSON release “Barbarossa”, the third single from the new studio album “War And Peace”, out on 10 October at Metalville.
With ‘Barbarossa’ the exceptional Swedish singer once again proves his flair for outstanding heavy metal with strong hooks and a great chorus. The song deals with the German Wehrmacht’s attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 and the later turning point of the war in Stalingrad.
The third soloalbum from NPJ is an album for heavy metal lovers and history nerds. Every song is like an adventure in itself and Nils Patrik’s band mate from Lion’s Share, Lars Chriss has made an incredible job as a producer and as the guitarist and bassplayer on the album.
Nils Patrik comments about the album: “I am so proud of this album and the fact that I finally got my Gustav Vasa song out to the world. My fans have been waiting. I’m also proud of Lars for his great work, for my son Fredrik for his amazing drum playing and also for Anuviel for the high quality keyboard arrangements. Also a big thanks to Tommy Denander for his efforts.”
Born in 1967 in Borlänge, Sweden, the singer has been synonymous with outstanding hard rock / metal albums for over 20 years. Not only with his solo albums, but also as frontman of Astral Doors, Lions Share, Civil War and Wuthering Heights, Nils Patrik Johansson has thrilled fans all over the world time and time again.

“Beasts of War” is a thunderous hard rock track capturing the raw power and ferocity of the hordes of Setekh Drakorgaur. With crushing riffs, pounding drums, and gritty vocals, it tells the story of a brutal raid on a remote village – a storm of chaos, blood, and steel. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy worlds and heavy guitar-driven sound. Hard Rock music inspired by AC/DC, lyrics inspired by the chaos beastmen of the Warhammer World. Recorded, mixed and mastered by the legendary Dennis Ward (Unisonic, Krokus, Helloween).

It’s not a band, it’s a universe. The BLUTGOTT Metal Universe, consisting of Debauchery, Blood God and Balgeroth.
20 Years of Monsters and Metal. Somewhere in between Judas Priest, Slayer, AC/DC, Rammstein and Bolt Thrower. 20 albums with over 40 CDs.
The lyrics are about the own dark fantasy world, the World of Blood Gods. Blood Gods are brutal demonic vampire dragons.
There are miniatures, a tabletop wargame, books and artworks.
Concerts of the various incarnations of the BLUTGOTT Metal Universe have been held throughout Europe, Russia and Asia. The draconic BLUTGOTT monsters were on tour with Doro, Saxon, Dismember, Napalm Death, Destruction and many other legends from the metal scene and played at major festivals such as Wacken, Summer Breeze and Bang Your Head. The albums are regularly in the top 50 of the official German album charts.
The main man behind BLUTGOTT is singer and guitarist, creator of artworks and monsters, author of the World of Blood Gods: Thomas Gurrath. The guy who gave up his job as teacher to become a full time metal artist.

The new album by Ligurian esoteric-prog-metal band Il Segno Del Comando, titled “Sublimazione – Live”, is officially available.
The album does not include new material, rather live performances of previously released songs, recorded during the band’s tour during winter, and some bonus tracks from a 2022 concert in Netherlands: it’s been published to celebrate the project’s thirtieth anniversary.
Regarding the chosen title, project leader Diego Banchero stated: “SUBLIMATION, in an esoteric sense, refers to the culmination of a series of stages of spiritual evolution, but the term is used in the scientific field to indicate processes of purification and development. This live album also bears witness to the evolution of the band’s musical material, written over many years of activity and today re-proposed in a new guise, and performed by a line-up that has progressively grown, thanks to its commitment to artistic research.”
Il Segno Del Comando has indeed undergone an evolution also thanks to the arrival in 2024 of Paolo Serboli on drums.
The album has been officially released August 22nd and presented at the prestigious Rock Inn Somma Festival in Somma Lombardo (Italy); since its first edition in 2006, this festival has become a reference point for Italian underground metal and rock.
Tracks 1 to 7 have been recorded at Spazio Webo (Pesaro, IT) on January 31st 2025 while the bonus tracks have been recorded t-Blok (Netherlands) on October 30th 2022.
The album is a self-production made in partnership with the Genoese label Nadir Music; it’s available on CD and released on major digital platforms.
