Provogue is proud to spotlight a blistering new cut from the upcoming Gary Moore Live – From Baloise Session, due out 23 May. Taken from his unforgettable 2008 performance in Basel, Switzerland, Moore’s explosive take on the Jimmy Rogers classic “Walkin’ By Myself” is now available on all platforms. Listen to the blistering performance here.
More than a cover, “Walkin’ By Myself” becomes a full-throttle showcase of Moore’s unmatched energy and feel for the blues. As he tears into the track, you can hear echoes of his deep respect for the genre’s pioneers — yet the delivery is all Moore: gritty, impassioned, and unmistakably powerful
Captured in stunning fidelity during the Baloise Session, this rendition brims with urgency. It’s a reminder that even late in his career, Moore was still pushing boundaries and channelling the same raw emotion that made him a legend.
Backed by longtime collaborators Pete Rees (bass), Vic Martin (keys), and Thin Lizzy icon Brian Downey (drums), Moore breathes new life into Rogers’ anthem of self-reliance. Each note he pulls from his Les Paul speaks volumes, and the crowd’s reaction says it all — this was a moment.
This latest release is a perfect teaser for Live – From Baloise Session, a distillation of Moore’s late-career brilliance. While we lost him far too soon, recordings like this prove his fire never faded. Watch the video for previous track.Since I Met You Baby (Live)
The blues may be timeless, but few have walked its path with the same ferocity and soul as Gary Moore.

After turning heads with their crushing rendition of MOTÖRHEAD’s ‘Iron Fist,’ UK thrash legends ONSLAUGHT return with the second single from their upcoming double-album “Origins Of Aggression,” which is due out on May 23, 2025 via Reigning Phoenix Music.
This time it’s personal. ‘In Search of Sanity,’ a re-recorded version of the band’s 1989 title track, explodes back to life in 2025 with a vengeance. Packed with towering riffs, mind-blowing solos, and vocal lines sharper than ever, this modern take breathes new fire into a thrash anthem – while keeping its roots raw and intact.
Guitarist and founding member Nige Rockett opens up about the song’s return: “This new recording of the title track from the album of the same name has completely blown me away… It’s like night and day compared to the original version. It’s common knowledge that I’ve never been a huge fan of the album overall. Don’t get me wrong – I love the songs, but at the time it just wasn’t an ONSLAUGHT album in terms of the production, vibe, and everything else that surrounded this particular release. It’s always been my dream to re-record the whole album and to finally make it sound like a real ONSLAUGHT record – the way it should have sounded the first time around. Here it is…! Tons of aggression and anger, a real heavy thrash song with all the necessary components. I hope you dig the new lease of life this track now has, as much as we do!”
‘In Search Of Sanity [2025 Version]’ is the second of three singles leading into “Origins Of Aggression” – a full-throttle retrospective featuring re-recorded classics and influential punk and metal covers, all delivered with a modern-day brutality.

Finnish heavy rock band I.F.A released the second single Intiaani from their forthcoming second studio album Tiimalasi which is set to be released on August 8th 2025 via Inverse Records. Music video is also done of the track and it can be seen below.
The band comments: “Right from the beginning, the chorus immediately brought to mind the Indian theme. A chocolate bar commercial started to come to mind, where an old Indian goes to his deathbed on a cliff ledge, but after tasting the bar, he starts laughing. The idea was refined to honor the Indians’ appreciation for nature and add some old Indian wisdom.
Since “Tiimalasi” is a darker and heavier album in terms of themes, “Intiaani” counterbalances that arc with a slightly more major-key song.”
I.F.A was founded in 1985 in Vihti. Aapo McMillan and Timo Supperi were the founding members, and Jouni Kaunisto was brought in as a singer. The band’s name was derived from the East German Industriverband Fahrzeugbau (IFA) car brand, whose cars were manufactured between 1948 and 1956.
The music of the early days of I.F.A was punk-influenced. Over the years, the sound took shape into the current heavier form without forgetting the band’s roots. The band’s activities took a break in 1989, until it was reactivated in 1999. The current line-up took shape when guitarist Tom Heskell joined in 2019 and drummer Herra Koivuniemi in 2023.
The band released their first album of their long career, which was named Ifandia, self-published for streaming in 2021. Albums 17 songs have been collected over the band’s long career.
Kumarra, Panssarimorsian, Pimeää and Taiteilija singles released in 2023 – 2024 gathered promising streaming numbers as a self-published artist and received airtime on Radio Rock, among others. In 2024, the band signed a recording contract with Inverse Records. The new album is scheduled to be released in 2025.
Line-up:
Aapo McMillan – Vocals & bass Tom HeskELL – Guitars Herra Koivuniemi – Drums
Finland’s I, Cursed, who combine angry and furious death metal and grindcore, will release a new as yet unnamed EP later this year. Both the single and the EP will once again be released in cooperation with Finnish record labels Inverse Records & Meara Music which is also an agency and event producer based in Ulvila.
The band comments: ” “Disfigurement” gives a hefty and harsh preview of the new I, Cursed EP set to be released later this fall. I, Cursed has updated its production to be more dynamic and organic, closer to how I, Cursed sounds live. “Disfigurement” reflects the mood of the upcoming EP, offering doses of fierce death metal and grindcore. The “Disfigurement” single is accompanied by a rather aggressive and pulsating music video, produced by Soft Neon Audiovisual.”

Music & lyrics composed & written by Ville-Veikko Laaksonen
Produced & arranged by I, Cursed
Engineered by Ville-Veikko Laaksonen, Nico Brander & Jesse Simola

Combining angry and furious death metal and grindcore, I, Cursed, from the Pori / Ulvila area, is a brutal dredging of Ville-Veikko Laaksonen and Eero Haula, known from Atlases, Marto and Oceanwake, among others, which is fed to the Finnish metal scene in an atonal coldness. I, Cursed’s music is a mix of something old and familiar, the HM-2 sound of Swedish grind, and somewhat more modern and crushing production. The line-up of the band in July 2024 is completed by guitarist Nico Brander from Marto and drummer Arttu Leppänen from Atlases and Marto. FFO Coldworker, Gadget, Nasum & Rotten Sound.
Today CALIBAN are releasing their most ambitious work yet. “Back From Hell” explores themes of inner struggle, resilience, and catharsis, blending their signature crushing riffs and guttural vocals with atmospheric melodies and modern production.
For over two decades, CALIBAN has stood as one of the defining forces in Metalcore. With their new album “Back From Hell” the German band continues to evolve their sound while staying true to the intensity and emotion that have defined their career. Led by founding members Andreas Dörner (vocals) and Marc Görtz (guitar), the band’s current lineup includes new vocalist and bassist Iain Duncan, whose clean vocals, songwriting skills and diverse perspective and experience bring a fresh dimension to their already powerful dynamic. Complemented by longtime drummer Patrick Grün and guitarist Denis Schmidt, CALIBAN’s formidable lineup is poised to deliver a relentless and emotionally charged experience that reaffirms their status as Metalcore pioneers.
All of these are more than valid reasons to allow the whole band to share insights into “Back From Hell” and stories from their past during an extensive 80min talk. Grab some snacks and drinks and get comfortable for a deep dive! Please note this is only available in their native German:
While getting ready for their upcoming tour the band also just dropped their own coffee, “Roast From Hell”, a bio fairtrade dark espresso that comes with flavours of dark chocolate and roasted almond. You can secure your extra dose of delicious coffee via the official bandstore: https://www.caliban-shop.com/
Tomorrow, Saturday April 26th, you can meet the whole band during their signing session at the EMP Store in Dortmund between 15:00-16:00. Come hang!
The weekend will also see them embarking on their European headlining tour with In Hearts Wake, Cabal and Assemble The Chariots.
