Will Ramos, Adam De Micco, Michael Yager, Andrew O’Connor, and Austin Archey once again tear through deathcore’s boundaries, blending orchestral grandeur, brutal riffing, and emotional depth. Coming off the success of Pain Remains, LORNA SHORE evolve once more—refusing compromise, doubling down on extremity, and creating a dark, unrelenting, and strangely hopeful body of work. This is your world according to LORNA SHORE—everblack, everburning.
LORNA SHORE are so proud to finally unveil their brand new single and video for “Oblivion”, taken from their upcoming album, ‘I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me’ — Coming out September 12th

“Writing this song felt like the culmination of all the things that we’ve done in the past, but brought to the next level; a more evolved version of what Lorna Shore truly is. I imagined a post-apocalyptic world in the (hopefully distant) future. A world where we have sown the seeds of our own destruction. The idea that we wished for better, hoped we were doing something that would help save us in this dying world, only to end up accelerating its inevitable destruction. This brings up the question; what is right? Do we even know what we’re doing? What have we done to try and actually change anything? Are we watering the earth or just feeding a constantly growing fire?” — Will Ramos

Shocking News! Legendary Metal musician SNOWY SHAW was allegedly disqualified in this year’s Grande Finale of The Eurovision Song Contest where he performed his song “Lullaby” at St. Jakobshalle Arena in Basel, Switzerland.
“This is a scandal and a disgrace to the good entertainment quality standards of the Eurovision commitée and administration” says Broadcasting producer Michael DuBoir, and continues “None of the vulgar display with blood and nudity were part of the rehearsal earlier during the day. It’s totally unacceptable and violates the community guidelines.
Local news have tried getting in contact with Snowy Shaw to comment on the dramatic incident but have so far not been able to get through to him, and his manager says he’s inaccessible and nowhere to be found.
“When Snowy Shaw – the legendary shock metal artist & multi-instrumentalist, tonight competed in the Eurovision song contest with his song “Lullaby”, things got out of control, which led to his number being disqualified. Snowy who has a background in the more extreme metal scene with bands such as King Diamond, Dimmu Borgir, Notre Dame, Sabaton, Mercyful Fate etc must have misunderstood the format of this feelgood family event when including vulgar indecent exposure, nudity and blood, lots of blood!
“Lullaby”, the song itself is both dark and gothic yet melodic and very catchy and the stage act scenario started out beautifully and fairytale-eque where King Snowy sits on his throne surrounded by a posse of promiscuous black-clad women dressed as witches and sexy female vampires. So far so good. Then suddenly all hell breaks loose! Somehow one can’t help thinking of Quentin Tarantino’s epic movie “From Dusk Till Dawn”, which certainly is not a bad thing. Snowy is (in-)famous for his strong integrity, not following rules and doing things his own way, no matter the cost.
Be it – having his number banned and disqualified in the Eurovision Song contest – for life.
Swedish melodic rock band THE DEVIL WEARS NADA proudly announce the release of their brand new single and video, “Juliet,” as well as their highly anticipated debut album, Postalgia, due out via renowned U.S. hard rock label Eönian Records on Friday, May 23rd, with presales open and doing remarkably well.
The haunting and emotionally charged “Juliet” captures the band’s signature blend of vintage rock sentiment and orchestral finesse. Originally conceived at the piano in 2019, the song became a standout during production. “I knew from the start that Juliet would be special,” says Ludvig. “It began with a simple piano progression and evolved into something we all deeply connected with.” Recording the track took time to perfect, especially its delicate piano elements, which were ultimately captured by guitarist/keyboardist Jacob in a Stockholm studio. “It had to feel just right, like every instrument was breathing together,”Ludvig adds. “Jacob absolutely nailed the piano part, and the track came alive from there.”“Juliet” was nearly chosen as the album’s lead single, a testament to its emotional pull and powerful arrangement.
THE SCANDINAVIA MUSIC SCENE Scandinavia has long been a breeding ground for world-class musical talent, particularly within the melodic rock and AOR genres. Continuing this proud legacy, Falköping, Sweden’s THE DEVIL WEARS NADA emerges as a compelling new force on the scene. Rooted in the golden era of melodic hard rock – from the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, the band skillfully blends nostalgic eighties sensibilities with a bold, modern edge, drawing inspiration from theatrical icons like Alice Cooper, Ghost, and Lordi.
POSTALGIA: A Cinematic Melodic Rock Statement Fusing the grandiosity of ‘80s AOR with eerie theatrics and modern production, Postalgia is a bold debut. The album features 13 tracks, including the standout title track, the soaring ballad “Dear Marilyn,” and a blistering cover of Nestor’s cult hit “1989.”“It’s a melting pot of ‘70s and ‘80s melodic rock with our shared love for the eerie and the epic,” explains guitarist Henrik Westergren. “It’s familiar yet unsettling, in the best way.” From the anthemic opener “Adecence” to the haunting finale “Victim,”Postalgia doesn’t just nod to the past, it redefines it for a new generation.
CHAOS, CHARISMA & A LABEL THAT BELIEVES Originally self-released in a limited run of 100 copies under the name Adecence, the album has been fully remixed, remastered, and reimagined for its wide release via Eönian Records. The revamped version features two brand-new tracks and a deluxe booklet with exclusive artwork and liner notes. “Some of our biggest sounds came from the most chaotic setups,” recalls bassist/vocalist and co-producer Fredrik Svensson Carlström. “But that rawness gave the album its punch.”
The partnership with Eönian Records marks a major turning point for the band. “Ryan and Stephen at Eönian got what we were trying to do from the beginning,” says Ludvig. “They gave us a home where this vision could thrive.”“Postalgia is sharp, cinematic, and completely addictive,” adds Ryan Northrop, co-founder of Eönian Records. “One of the most exciting hard rock debuts we’ve heard in years. They’re talented, dedicated, and truly one of a kind,” says Stephen Craig. “Big things are ahead for THE DEVIL WEARS NADA.”
‘Postalgia’ Track list: 1. Adecence 2. Patient Zero 3. Late Night Talking 4. Make Me Feel 5. Someone Slightly Buried 6. Juliet 7. Dear Marilyn 8. The Devil Wears Nada 9. Infinity 10. Prima Nocta 11. Til’ Death Do Us Part 12. 1989 13. Victim
LIVE & WHAT’S NEXT To celebrate the album’s release, THE DEVIL WEARS NADA will play a hometown show in Falköping, Sweden on May 30, followed by a support slot for Swedish pop-rock star David Lindgren on July 25 in Karlsborg. And the story doesn’t end here: the band has already begun work on their follow-up album, with studio time booked for summer. “We’re just getting started,”Ludvig hints. “The next chapter is already being written.”“Thank you to everyone who’s joined us on this journey,” adds Henrik. “This record was built from the ground up with passion, sweat, and a lot of heart. Let’s keep melodic rock alive, and loud.”
Hailing from Falköping, Sweden, THE DEVIL WEARS NADA delivers a powerful blend of arena-sized hooks, haunting theatrics, and a deep-seated love for the golden era of melodic rock. With a sound that balances nostalgia and modern edge, the band is carving out its place as a rising force in Sweden’s hard rock scene.
At the heart of the group is drummer and principal songwriter Ludvig Alfvén, joined by an electrifying lineup: powerhouse vocalist Linus Johansson, guitarist Henrik Westergren, bassist/vocalist Fredrik Svensson Carlström, and multi-instrumentalist Jacob Werner, handling both keyboards and lead guitar. Together, they channel the spirit of classic rock with a fresh intensity and anthemic energy built for the big stage.
Their debut album, Postalgia, marks a powerful introduction to their signature sound – a blend of soaring melodies, anthemic choruses, and cinematic flair. Originally released under the name Adecence in an ultra-limited run of just 100 CDs, the album quickly became a sought-after gem among collectors. Now, rebranded and remastered under THE DEVIL WEARS NADA, the album gets a full-scale revival through Eönian Records.
This definitive edition includes two brand-new studio recordings, a high-octane cover of “1989” by fellow Swedish rockers Nestor, and a deluxe booklet with exclusive artwork and liner notes – making it a must-have for fans of AOR, melodic rock, and classic hard rock alike.

TASSI has unveiled a new chapter in their esoteric journey with the release of the single “怪想录 III”, now available for streaming. Premiering ahead of the full-length “Idamon Novasah-Liva” – due out May 31st, 2025 via Dusktone – this track offers a haunting glimpse into the introspective depths of the project’s ever-evolving vision.
With this highly anticipated chapter, TASSI continues its introspective and spiritual journey through a soundscape that blends post-black metal soundscapes and deep emotional storytelling.
TASSI is a project born from the mind of Chinese artist Dryad, also known for his work under BLISS-ILLUSION. Through this creation, Dryad gives life to TASSI, a bard wandering between heaven and man, whose esoteric and mystical journey revolves around the search for his lost love, Uni — the embodiment of his unwavering faith.
TASSI travels through time and surreal dimensions — romantic, divine, broken, or mad. Uni has transcended the sky and humanity itself, becoming a symbol of absolute love and spiritual devotion. This metaphysical odyssey unfolds as an intimate, nearly initiatory quest, where music becomes the language of the soul.
The upcoming album “Idamon Novasah-Liva” stands as a parallel branch — or sister series — to the Northland saga, forming what Dryad calls “The Chronicle of Strange Thoughts.” This new chapter delves into a more introspective and melancholic emotional layer of TASSI — a kind of inner double or alternate self.
Musically, “Idamon Novasah-Liva” embraces a depressive / blackgaze / post-black metal aesthetic, rich in sorrowful textures, meditative riffs, and deeply personal lyrics. The voice moves between prayer and lament, echoing through ethereal soundscapes and cathartic darkness.
All Western artworks for the project — including this release — are the work of Alcide Nathanaël, a visual artist from the esoteric and spiritual world, far removed from traditional metal imagery. His contribution brings an otherworldly and symbolic dimension to TASSI’s universe, perfectly aligned with its mystical essence.

About DROUTH: Portland’s Drouth formed in 2012, originally under the name Contempt before changing their moniker following the release of their 2014 EP Skinwalker.

Their follow up, The Teeth of Time was recorded and mixed with legendary engineer Billy Anderson (Neurosis, Cattle Decapitation) and mastered by Justin Weis (Agalloch, Hammers of Misfortune) and features five tracks of vicious, melodically adventurous black/death metal spread across 40 unrelenting minutes.

Wisconsin metalcore powerhouse ARCHERS have just dropped their latest single, “Wide Awake,” now available on all streaming platforms. Known for their intense energy, emotionally charged lyrics, and uncompromising sound, ARCHERS continue their rise in the modern metalcore landscape with this hard-hitting new release.
“Wide Awake” is from their upcoming EP, Temporary High, due out June 13 via SBG Records. Produced by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Sleeping With Sirens), the band’s fourth EP showcases ARCHERS’ evolving sound.
In regards to the EP, the band states, “Temporary High is all about finding catharsis. It’s about breaking free from toxic cycles and finding value in oneself apart from anyone or anything that would try to usurp one’s own identity.”

ARCHERS combine massive melodies and crushing heaviness with unrivaled passion and precision. The music of the Midwestern quartet connects deeply via confessional tales of broken hearts and mental anguish, building an intimate sense of community with outsiders from all corners of the world.
After years of honing their craft on the road, at major rock festivals and touring alongside bands such as Asking Alexandria, Catch Your Breath, From Ashes to New, Magnolia Park and Imminence, the band has developed a knack for delivering high octane, head turning performances that resonate with their fans while continuing to win over a dedicated army of new fans with each performance.
The Wisconsin band’s momentum is a testament to the strength of its soaring songs and magnetic live performances. Its fourth EP, Temporary High, was produced by Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Sleeping With Sirens) and blends energetic pop and visceral metalcore into an evocative sound.
Engaging frontman Nathanael Pulley and dynamic guitarist Ben Koehler first came together under the Archers banner in 2015, with the later addition of funk and R&B-loving bassist and vocalist Oscar Porter and hard rock-weaned drummer Grayson Mesarosh crystalizing the band’s definitive line-up. Each of the four came into heavy music via different gateways, from a mixture of metalcore and melodic rock bands as diverse as the Vans Warped Tour line-up, from pop-punk hooks to devastating breakdowns.
Determination, passion, and authenticity are the beating heart of Archers. Even as Archers’ mission expands worldwide, the quartet is determined to remain true to themselves. This is evident to their most diehard fans, and it is precisely why what they are doing connects so profoundly.
