After a two years of international touring, including a headline EU/UK tour, festival appearances and supporting the likes of Babymetal and Electric Callboy in Australia, Future Static mark a new era with their latest single ‘There’s Nowhere Else To Go’. Building on the foundations of their #1 Australian AIR-charting 2023 debut album Liminality, the band have crafted a refined sound and renewed purpose. An expansive mix of heavy, melodic, technical and chaotic, ‘There’s Nowhere Else To Go’ strikes a new depth musically and lyrically for a band that’s ready to push the extremes whilst staying true to their flow.

The band comment on the single: “‘There’s Nowhere Else To Go’ is an analysis on the duality of criticism from inspiring motivation and personal growth to the destructive inducement of self-hatred and insecurity.  Whilst we’ve all experienced the feeling of not being good enough it’s important to believe in yourself despite the constant judgmental commentary especially from the worst critic: your own self.”

‘There’s Nowhere Else To Go’ was produced, mixed, and mastered by Christopher Vernon (Windwaker, The Beautiful Monument), accompanied by the music video of fabled director Colin Jeffs (Make Them Suffer, Alpha Wolf).

Melbourne five-piece phenomenon Future Static are carving their position among the one of the most exciting forces in modern metalcore. Following the success of their #1 Australian AIR-charting debut album Liminality (2023), the band have rapidly risen through Australia’s heavy scene and beyond, earning critical acclaim from Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, and Triple J, whilst touring extensively across Australia; including supporting Babymetal, Electric Callboy, Jinjer, EnterShikari, DonBroco and TesseracT. International touring has included EU/UK headline shows, supporting Ankor and Humanity’s Last Breath, and multiple prestigious European festival appearances; including Sziget (HU), Radar (UK), Reeperbahn (DE) and Euroblast (DE).

Blending technical precision with melodic chaos, Future Static‘s sound is both striking and emotionally raw – a reflection of personal struggle, resilience, and self-discovery. Led by their breathtaking lead vocal tandem, a magical chemistry of electrifying frontwoman Amariah Cook and bassist Kira Neil, and backed by the band’s swagger and blazing fury, Future Static have taken Australia’s live circuit by storm.

Their latest single ‘There’s Nowhere Else To Go’ marks a bold new era revealing a refined, mature, and fearless evolution. Fierce and sonically ambitious, Future Static are ready to take their unique brand of emotive heaviness to the world.

Future Starting are:
Amariah Cook – Lead Vocals
Kira Neil – Bass / Vocals
Ryan Qualizza – Guitar
Jack Smith – Guitar
Jackson Trudel – Drums

DEPRESSURE Release New Single for Title Track of Upcoming Album “Worst Is Yet to Come”

”Worst Is Yet to Come” is a heavy rock track. The title song of the full-length album, coming out in January 2026, hits you like a Volvo 850. Groovy riffing with melancholic touches nods to bands like Opeth, Sentenced & Kingston Wall. It’s a story about setting your targets and refusing to live by someone else’s expectations. While the upcoming album also has gentler vibes, this one is “Balls to the wall”!

“Stop fooling around, take control, and get the job done — because the worst is yet to come. Depressure: born in Joensuu, reborn in Poland — melancholic-rock audio massage since 2006.” the band hype up.

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

–Composition & Lyrics: Antti Heikura
–Production: Depressure
–Arrangements: Depressure
–Mixing and Mastering: Kuba Malinowski, Lunar Sounds Studio

Depressure. Heavy moods and aching emotions. From melancholic yearning to modern heavy rock, it drills into your brain like a Makita 666. Born in Joensuu, Finland, 2006. Two demos, a few shows, then a decade of silence. In early 2018, Depressure was dragged out of the grave, and the first album was composed and recorded by Antti Heikura. “September” came out on February 19th, 2020.

A new lineup took shape in Antti’s new home country, Poland. Gigs in Gdańsk, more sweat, more drilling. In autumn ‘24, recording of the next album began. “Worst is Yet to Come” is set to release in January 2026 and the band is ready to freeze audiences with their northern rock.

Depressure:

Paweł Kempa – Guitar
Tomasz Kacmajor – Drums
Konrad Piątkowski – Bass

Finnish progressive thrash metal band Krateros is set to release their debut EP ‘Lost in Translation’ on January 30th 2026 via Inverse Records.

The first single ‘Linguicide’ is unleashed today and it’s available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/krateros-linguicide 

–Composed & lyrics by Saku Rekonen
–Cover art by All4band Design

The band comments:
” “Linguicide” is the first taste of our upcoming EP “Lost in Translation.” With its catchy groove and memorable guitar melody, it is arguably the most “commercial” track from the EP, yet it contains a great blend of all the elements that make our music what it is. Musically, the song is the oldest one on the EP, with the first demo going as far back as February 2020. Lyrically, the song went through two or three rewrites before finding its final form. Some of the discarded ideas have since been used in songs meant for future releases. As a product of our times, “Linguicide” deals with cancel culture and the death of independent thought, whether through self-censorship or outside pressure.”

Lost in Translation Track list:

  1. Tomb Service
  2. Linguicide
  3. The Performer
  4. Uticensis
  5. Comatose Waltz

Cover art by All4band Design

Krateros is an emerging metal band from Helsinki, Finland, founded in 2023 and led by vocalist/guitarist and main songwriter Saku Rekonen. The band’s music combines influences from old-school thrash metal bands such as Annihilator, Exodus, and Megadeth with more contemporary acts like Trivium, Machine Head, and Stam1na — all the while being filtered through a progressive lens.

The band’s first EP, “Lost in Translation,” released through Inverse Records, is a response to a perceived lack of riffs that seems to plague the metal scene of the 2020s.

Line-up:
Saku Rekonen – Vocals & Guitar
Roni Helminen – Bass & Backing vocals
Touko Kaihola – Drums

BLOSSOMS FALL Chase a Beacon of Hope in New ‘Luna’ Music Video & Single

Posted by tarjavirmakari on November 5, 2025

Blossoms Fall are a female-fronted metalcore band from Albuquerque, New Mexico (USA), and they own the sweet spot of our sonic zone like a massive tsunami that would crash on our shores! The band just dropped an emotional new music video and single entitled “Luna” which happens to feature Wasted Potency on guest vocals. The music video was directed by Luis Escalara of Adelphia Studios. This is the first single & music video taken from their upcoming EP album La Alma which will be released on February 6, 2026 via Eclipse Records. The album was produced and mixed by Matthew Torres (Lights on the Coast, Cloudtrails, Wasted Potency) at Nightscape Recordings, and mastered by Kevin Thrasher (Escape the Fate, Machine Gun Kelly, Blink 182, Avril Lavigne) at Thrasher Productions. 

“This song is in the middle of the EP and is full of emotion” says guitarist Matt Torres. “Foxes are very symbolic of spiritual guidance through turmoil in many different cultures and the idea was to encapsulate that ideal. This video is a metaphor for chasing your dreams and not stopping until you’ve made them a reality. The fox manifests a goal and chases it endlessly until it has been achieved. It represents our naturally devious nature that spoils the garden, in a sense. To inspire hope, the message is that we can change our outlook on life and find purity and happiness just by chasing the things that make you happy and bring peace and light. Sometimes that can take longer than expected but never giving up is key. This will be a clear theme throughout the EP and in visuals altogether.”

The new album La Alma by Blossoms Fall is metalcore, but so much more than the current genre classification would indicate. Genre is a moniker, a nickname if you will, and in terms of La Alma, we could thrust a slew of “warriors” into the ring for this fight, like hyper pop, emo core, or modern metalcore with a trance vibe. We could claim that Blossoms Fall create music that resembles a good thriller soundtrack in that they lead our emotions one way, and then they twist us into unexpected contexts, causing glorious disequilibrium and life changing interpretations of our own emotional and psychological landscapes. In other words, this album is a blast of beautiful chaos leading us to the edge of the cliff yet giving us wings…to the lip of the abyss armed with a blazing torch and a backbone of granite. Musically, the first thing we might notice is that drums are absolute thunder, produced to be a force in the forefront and earning its position with monster fills even in the verses. The guitar work is heavy with maximum crunch, like a fiery blast from the jaws of the dragon, the bass a “wall of pound” and the vocals cleverly patterned with textured growls and melodic tapestries. We are also given flashes of ethereal keys and tasty syncopation, demonstrating the band’s ability to not only show force but to add a flavor profile unique, devasting, and addictive as hell. 

La Alma was produced and mixed by Matthew Torres (Lights on the Coast, Cloudtrails, and Wasted Potency), mastered by Kevin Thrasher (MGK, Blink 182, Escape the Fate, and Iann Dior). The album art was designed by Luis Escalara of Adelphia Studios, and it is scheduled for release on February 6, 2026.
