Women-led, talented Brazilian Rock band Malvada are pleased to unveil the new single and official video, “After”, taken from their self-titled album, released on June 13, 2025, via Frontiers Music Srl.

The band commented: “This song is about things we’ve experienced through life, and we wanted to describe those scenes and the party itself. It is all about having fun with those who you love, and we tried to show this in this video. Rock n’ roll is also about partying and enjoying life as it is. This is one of the coolest songs of the album and we are really excited to show this new video to the world”.

About the album, the band stated: “It is the result of two years of work, and we are very excited to show the world how much Malvada has grown. We believe it is the best work of our lives and everyone will like it, as it shows our real essence. You will have a real experience”.

The rising star of the Brazilian rock scene has a name: Malvada, and they are ready to take over the world!

Malvada was initially formed in March 2020, during the beginning of the pandemic. With a rock n’ roll style full of personality, the band quickly attracted attention as one of the most promising acts in the Brazilian rock scene.

In January 2021, Malvada released their first single entitled “Mais Um Gole”, which gained greater prominence in the scene. Shortly afterwards, in May of the same year, it was time to release the second single “Cada Escolha uma Renúncia”, which preceded the launch of the band’s debut album, “A Noite Vai Ferver”. 

In the years 2022 and 2023, Malvada solidified its presence on the national rock panorama, performing more than a hundred shows in several cities in Brazil. The band had the privilege of participating in huge festivals, such as Rock in Rio, Best of Blues and Rock, Angra Fest and Chama Rock, sharing the stage with renowned national and international rock names, like Pitty, Ira!, Angra, Viper, Edu Falaschi, Matanza, Golpe de Estado, Extreme and Tom Morello.

In November 2023, Malvada, composed of Indira Castillo, Bruna Tsuruda, Rafaela Reoli and Juliana Salgado surprised with a big announcement: the band has become the newest signee of the prestigious Italian label Frontiers Records, which has renowned bands in its catalog such as Mr. Big, Asia, Whitesnake, Jeff Scott Soto, among others, promising to take them to a new level, with opportunities to expand their reach and conquer the global market.

The new album, produced by the Brazilian Grammy awarded producer Giu Daga, promises a powerful and exciting musical experience and will be the band’s first work featuring tracks in English/Portuguese, aiming to conquer a global audience.

Malvada’s vibrant rock passion will take no prisoners!

CORONATUS Announce New Album “Dreadful Waters” + Release First Single & Lyric Video ‘The Maelstrom’

German symphonic metal collective CORONATUS proudly announce their upcoming studio album “Dreadful Waters”, a dark and ambitious exploration of the mysteries, dangers, and mythic forces of the sea. Scheduled for release on January 23rd, 2026 via Massacre Records, the album will be available as Mediabook CD and in digital formats. Alongside the album announcement, the band unveil the first single and lyric video “The Maelstrom”, offering a dramatic and immersive first glimpse into the record’s nautical world.

Stream / Download the single: https://save-it.cc/massacre/the-maelstrom

Inspired in part by Edgar Allan Poe’s tale “A Descent Into the Maelstrom”, the new single describes a heroic, deliberate plunge into a colossal turmoil: a symbolic journey toward the unknown, undertaken with purpose and sacrifice. Musically, “The Maelstrom” weaves folk-tinged passages, dramatic tempo shifts, atmospheric interludes, and orchestral metal intensity, mirroring the surge, retreat, and raw power of extreme tides.

The track perfectly sets the tone for “Dreadful Waters”: a symphonic metal voyage that dives into the darkest, most mysterious facets of the ocean.

For CORONATUS water becomes a symbol of all that is deep, unseen, dangerous, and awe-inspiring. While the previous album “Atmosphere” focused on threats in the “airy” realm, “Dreadful Waters” shifts the narrative toward oceans and seas: environments rich in myth, peril, and emotional metaphor.

Musically, the band once again offer an expansive spectrum of styles: symphonic metal as the foundation, enriched by folk elements, dramatic orchestrations, and experimental touches that have become a trademark of the CORONATUS sound.

The songwriting comes not only from drummer and founder Mats Kurth, but also from vocalist Nemesis and guitarist Harry Zeidler, widening the creative scope of the album.

“Dreadful Waters” was produced by Markus Stock and Mats Kurth at Klangschmiede Studio E, where Stock also handled mixing and mastering. His signature depth and clarity amplify the album’s dark maritime atmosphere.

The cover artwork, created by Michael Krebes, visually captures the album’s descent into the unknown, merging mysticism, danger, and the elemental force of water.

“Dreadful Waters” Track listing

  1. The Maelstrom
  2. Through The Brightest Blue
  3. To The Reef!
  4. The Ship’s Cook
  5. Southern Cross
  6. The Siren
  7. A Seaman’s Yarn
  8. Dark Ice
  9. Die Hexe und der Teufel

CORONATUS will celebrate the new album with an exclusive release show:

–Saturday, January 24th, 2026
–Bryggaren, Västervik, Sweden

The band will perform the entire new album live, along with a selection of fan-favorite older pieces.

Sabine Prechtel – Mezzo Soprano
Nemesis – Rock Voice
Tine Jülich – Violin
Harry Zeidler – Guitars

IMMORTALIS to Re-Issue Classic Album “Indicium De Mortuis” on 20th February

Posted by tarjavirmakari on December 4, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: IMMORTALIS. Leave a comment

Death metal stalwarts Immortalis have announced the re-issue of their one and only album Indicium De Mortuis via Hammerheart Records. This dark, fluid and malevolent extreme metal masterpiece from 1991 will be released on vinyl and double CD on 20th February, 2026.

Pre-orders are now available here: https://immortalis.lnk.to/indiciumdemortuis

Welcome to the bizarre world of Indicium De Mortuis by Immortalis, a record where nothing is what it seems. This is a death metal album that channels the spirit of Possessed and Slayer. The album is menacing as hell, do not proceed with caution… go in and prepare to be kicked back out. If you want some dark, cryptic death metal with no mercy, then this is the stuff of kings. The production (courtesy of Andy Classen from Holy Moses) sounds like an early Dan Swanö recording and has aged well. The vocalist roars like Barney Greenway of Napalm Death, the riffs reminds one of Florida death metal (Deicide and Massacre especially), the eccentric rawness is not too distant from Austrian bands (e.g., Pungent Stench, Disharmonic Orchestra).

For old school death metal, it’s as special and haunting as they come, but with more doom as the special ingredients. Where Hypocrisy’s Penetralia was bludgeoning with its tone, this one is heavy as shit but laidback at the same time, it kills you with the rhythm rather than the massiveness of the guitar tone. It isn’t the Swedish chainsaw, but deafening and cavernous like bastardized thrash on crack. Most of the riffs are mid-paced crushers while the drumming is ballistic bombs bombarding the earth. You could play this album to five death metal veteran listeners and they would all find new comparison points. The only consistency is the interplay between paranoia-inducing Possessed riffs (i.e., ever-decreasing circles that threaten to reduce the musical space to a singularity) and evil af Slayer riffs.

Indicium De Mortuis is brilliant, but requires concerted effort and attention. The result is some of the most adventurous and fluid death metal of its time. No exaggeration.

Track-list:
CD 1/LP 
Indicium De Mortuis
1. Burning Existence
2. Intro
3. Subordinate Gods
4. Bleeding Inheritance
5. Quo Vadis (Everlasting Life)
6. Indicium De Mortuis

8. Voices of Forgotten Soul
9. Blasphemous Process
10. Countess Bathory
 
CD 2

Game Over will release “Crimes Against Reality (2026 remaster)” on February 20 through Scarlet Records.

Originally released by Scarlet Records in 2016, “Crimes Against Reality” was the third studio album for Game Over, at that time one of the youngest and most promising up’n’coming bands in the European thrash metal scene.

The record followed the widely successful “Burst Into The Quiet”, which put Game Over on the map and displayed their massive potential. Inspired by the classic Bay Area thrash scene of the Eighties, Game Over mixed those influences with modern sounds and a very distinctive personality.

Carefully remastered by the original top-notch producer Simone Mularoni, “Crimes Against Reality (2026 remaster)” contains ten tracks that mix sharp riffs, anthemic choruses and powerful rhythms, enriched by the use of unusual instruments such as Moogs and Hammonds, plus a wild bonus track recorded live by the present line-up. Lyrics vary from B-movie scenarios to social-political themes, science fiction, mythology and dystopian visions.

A killer work ten years ago, an even more ferocious headbanging rollercoaster right now!

  • third studio album for the Italian manic thrashers, originally released by Scarlet Records in 2016;
  • Game Over’s most commercially successful release ever;
  • originally produced and currently remastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio;
  • cover & artwork by Mario López (Skeletal Remains, Toxik, Vulture);
  • FFO: Exodus, Testament, Metallica, Cro-Mags, Suicidal Tendencies, Excel;
  • “Crimes Against Reality (2026 remaster)” will be released in the following formats: jewel case CD, vinyl LP (100 transparent clear; 200 marbled red), digital

“Crimes Against Reality (2026 remaster)” tracklist:

1 What Lies Within…
2 33 Park Street
3 Neon Maniacs

5 Astral Matter
6 Fugue In D Minor (Allegro Ma Non Troppo)

8 Gates Of Ishtar
