'Chasing The High' is From Fall To Spring's most emotional and powerful track to date. The single showcases the full range of the band’s songwriting: from atmospheric depth to explosive energy. Driven by a haunting topline, cinematic tension and a chorus that instantly sticks, the song balances vulnerability and power in a way only this band can.

Just two weeks before the release of their new album Entry Wounds,  'Chasing The High' sets the emotional tone. It marks the moment of impact, triggering everything that follows. A deep inner wound, a loss that can’t be undone, a feeling that something is broken and might never return.

Despite the weight of its message, the song is accessible and full of reach. The melodies hit hard and stay. The production is massive, but never overwhelming. It’s a modern heavy anthem that still sounds unmistakably like From Fall To Spring – intense, dynamic, and honest.

With this single, the band once again prove their ability to combine heavy music with emotional clarity and real songwriting instincts.

From Fall to Spring states: "'Chasing the High' is our emotional crash in song form. It explores the addiction to something that’s breaking you — but you still can’t let it go. Escaping a toxic spiral is hard… whether it’s love or your own mind. And sometimes, all that’s left is a scar to remind you it was real."

Belgian psychedelic post-metal collective Psychonaut return with 'And You Came With Searing Light', taken from their forthcoming album World Maker, out 24th October via Pelagic Records. Known for weaving together towering riffs, polyrhythmic precision and deep philosophical themes, the trio now turn inward, navigating the shifting terrain of fatherhood, grief and hope.

Watch the visualiser for 'And You Came With Searing Light' here: https://youtu.be/meROMsYIkNM

Pre-order World Maker and stream the single here: https://orcd.co/psychonaut-worldmaker

‘And You Came With Searing Light’ immediately exemplifies Psychonaut’s redirected ambition on World Maker, as euphoria collides with blinding fury. The first track written for the album, ‘...Searing Light’ is easily the most complex and initially wouldn’t sound out of place on previous album Violate Consensus Reality. Originally meant to be the new album’s opening track; the decision to defer its impact, not to mention its compositional and dynamic gravity, speaks of a fundamental change to the band’s very core. The words “Discover the world with wide eyes” recurring throughout speak as much to those having lost a part of their world as they do to those seeing it for the first time.

The traditional, three-piece line up of Belgian, psychedelic post-metal collective Psychonaut has long belied the compositional prowess, captivating narrative depth and crushing live presence of a band now operating at the forefront of forward-thinking, contemporary heavy music.

A record born of insurmountable joy and simultaneous profound loss; World Maker marks a time of great change for Psychonaut, both personally and musically, as the band burn away the philosophical narrative complexities of previous offerings with a searing, panoramic clarity that implores us to savour the beauty of the now as a means of leaving a legacy for the future.
 
The seed of World Maker took shape just as the campaign for previous record Violate Consensus Reality came to a close, with the news that guitarist/vocalist Stefan De Graef was to become a father. This tilting of life’s axis led De Graef, like most fathers-to-be, to re-assess what was really important. As such, the music he was inspired to write felt free of the band’s previous philosophical and spiritual foundations and instead took the form of life lessons for his unborn son, a legacy of love in case something were ever to happen.
 
This hopeful euphoria shines keenly throughout World Maker as an uncharacteristically optimistic warmth; from the reverberating Rhodes organ on the titular opening track and the meandering, free-jazz inspired guitar solo that introduces ‘Everything Else is Just The Weather’ to elements of world music, electronica and the otherworldly voice of Dutch multi-instrumentalist and old friend Anthe Huybrechts (Anthe/Helion Creek) most notably on tracks like ‘Origins’ which also features tabla, a pair of indian hand drums, as its propulsive heartbeat.
 
Whilst Psychonaut’s giant riffs, punishing polyrhythms and guttural vocal rage are more resplendent than ever, there is a wider dynamic spectrum to World Maker that sees the band proudly exploring their more delicate, intimate extremes as well as their most aggressive and abrasive. Not long after the birth of De Graef’s son came the devastating news that both his own father and Psychonaut bassist/vocalist Thomas Michiels’ father had been diagnosed with advanced cancers. Living day-to-day and torn between joy and grief, the band found themselves shedding the grand scope and world-shattering agenda of Violate Consensus Reality to focus on the here and now.
 
Amidst such turbulent times, the band found strength and support within their post-metal community. The album was recorded and produced by the band alongside their long-time collaborator and close friend Chiaran Verheyden (Hippotraktor) with help and advice from Psychonaut’s live engineer Victor, who will no doubt make this album sound just as awesome on stage. Even the artwork for World Maker was a family affair, being designed by close friend Sam Coussens of Belgian cosmic sludge metallers Pothamus.
 
In the face of life’s soaring highs and desolate lows, World Maker is direct and brave without sacrificing any of Psychonaut’s raw power, creative innovation or inimitable musical depth. Where their previous full-length offerings have charted grand introspective courses through time and space, World Maker is breathtaking in its uncompromising clarity: a father singing to his newborn son as a son bids his own father farewell.

Having sent a shockwave through the post-metal and prog scenes with their three times repressed Pelagic Records debut Unfold The God Man in 2020 before following it up with the transformative metaphysical complexities of 2022’s Violate Consensus Reality, Psychonaut have played prestigious Belgian open-air festivals like Alcatraz, Rock Herk and Boomtown Festival as well as boutique events such as Soulcrusher, Roadburn Redux and A Colossal Weekend whilst sharing stages across Europe with the likes of Amenra, Brutus and Pelagic labelmates The Ocean and PG.Lost.

German pop-punk rising stars Indecent Behavior drop their new single 'Grown Up' - a song about never really growing up. About never fitting in. About staying who you’ve always been and about sharing and experiencing that feeling together.

After performing at Rock am Ring, Rock im Park and touring with Neck Deep, Zebrahead and the Donots, Indecent Behavior have their fourth studio album, SICK, in the pipeline, due for release on 26th September via Long Branch Records.

"Why did I wish to grow up when I was a kid? Now I’m an adult. But what has really changed? Somewhere between tax returns and questions like 'When are you finally going to grow up?' one thing is clear: I will never grow up!," says Indecent Behavior singer Henrik Bergmann. "We’ve gotten older, but deep down, we’re still those pop-punk kids who stand in front of festival stages, who want to travel the world together, who’d do anything for a good time."

https://indecentbehavior.lnk.to/sick

We live in a world full of impressions. What seems like an ocean full of possibilities to some is incredibly overwhelming, oppressive and unfair to others. There is no escape from the mass of unfiltered information that rains down on us every day. No light at the end of the dark news tunnel. No clear way out of the labyrinth of options, which instead of freedom only brings excessive demands. SICK was created precisely from these thoughts and is an album for everyone for whom it sometimes just gets too much. Who feel like they are living in a world that they simply don't understand. For all people who are looking for a place where they can feel understood and comfortable.

Alternative rock trio The Hunna have unveiled new single 'tough love', the third taken from their new EP, blue transitions, which will be released 14th November via FLG. 

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/RBP2bte-C1w

Pre-order blue transitions here: https://ffm.to/thehunna_bluetransitions

The Hunna's vocalist Ryan Potter comments: "'tough love' finds itself in the middle of the blue transitions EP & poignantly signifying the gritty part to a relationship. From connection to disconnection, clarity to doubt. Trying to find the right pieces that fit the puzzle again."

About the EP, he continues: "Our first ever EP blue transitions is a set of powerful, melancholic songs taking a deeper look into the transformations & changes that occur naturally in life between two individuals. The transitional moments & mechanisms that can play out all underlined by different complexions of blue signifying sadness yet also grace in the face of such difficult moments."

The news of blue transitions follows The Hunna's triumphant return with their singles 'hide & seek' and 'bloom', as well as mainstage appearances at 2000trees and Y Not? festivals. You can next watch The Hunna live supporting Palaye Royale.
 
Full list of dates:

03 Nov – SWG3 (Galvanizers Yard), Glasgow w/ Palaye Royale
04 Nov – NX, Newcastle upon Tyne w/ Palaye Royale
05 Nov – The Prospect Building, Bristol w/ Palaye Royale
07 Nov – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester w/ Palaye Royale
08 Nov – Leeds Beckett Students’ Union, Leeds w/ Palaye Royale
09 Nov – O2 Academy Birmingham, Birmingham w/ Palaye Royale

The Hunna, formed by Jack Metcalfe, Ryan Potter, and Daniel Dorney, burst onto the scene in 2015 with standout singles 'Bonfire' and 'She’s Casual', followed by their explosive debut album, 100, in 2016, which secured their first top 20 record, reaching number 13 on the UK album chart.

Bolstered by global fan support, the band swiftly earned major festival slots, including headlining the Festival Republic Stage at Reading & Leeds Festival and performing a secret set that attracted one of the largest crowds to date. They also performed at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend, All Points East, and festivals across Europe and North America, alongside their own sold-out tours.

Between 2017 and 2018, the band’s second album, Dare, climbed to number 12 on the UK album chart, sparking a sold-out tour in Australia and further sold-out shows across the UK and Europe. Notable achievements included selling out Brixton Academy three times, as well as Camden Roundhouse, Rock City, Manchester Apollo, and other prominent venues. In the US, they achieved success with multiple sold-out performances at iconic venues like The Troubadour in Los Angeles, Mercury Lounge, and Webster Hall in New York.

For their third album, I’d Rather Die Than Let You In, The Hunna collaborated with renowned producer John Feldmann (Blink-182, Goldfinger, Twenty One Pilots, All Time Low) in Calabasas, working alongside artists such as Travis Barker (Blink-182), Josh Dun (Twenty One Pilots), Pete Wentz (Fall Out Boy), Phem, and others. The trio followed this in 2022 with their self-titled album The Hunna, partnering with Grammy Award-winning producer Gil Norton. Adored by their loyal fanbase of nearly a decade, this album marked a significant new chapter for the band.

Now, in 2025, after a few years without new music, The Hunna return with renewed energy and their signature powerful sound, with new EP blue transitions.

LA hard rockers S8NT ELEKTRIC have released new single 'PEACE OF MYSELF', the third track from their debut album OFF THE EDGE which will be released in the autumn of 2025. 

Watch the video to "PEACE OF MYSELF" here: https://youtu.be/IpSha5YkRq8

Stream the single here: https://s8ntelektric.lnk.to/peaceofmyself

S8NT ELEKTRIC comment: "'PEACE OF MYSELF' is a song about finally saying what you really feel. We can become victims to people-pleasing, and in the process of trying to make everyone like us, we completely lose ourselves. There’s a breaking point you reach when you’ve tried so hard to keep the peace, only to realize that it will never be enough. For us, this song is that exact moment. The moment that you refuse to make yourself small enough to fit into someone else’s world and learn to embrace your true self, even if people don’t like it."

S8NT ELEKTRIC have quickly become a force in the heavy music scene, not just for their innovative rock sound – a collision of crushing riffs and infectious pop hooks – but for their commitment to truly living "OFF THE EDGE." This isn't just a motto; it's a lifestyle, demonstrated by their death-defying stunts including being circled by drift cars and skydiving. Founded on the bold vision of singer Bri Carbajal and lead guitarist Niko Tsangaris, and brought to life by the talents of Trey Baker (drums), Sinner (guitar), and Harrison Forsythe (bass), S8NT ELEKTRIC uses their adrenaline junkie attitude and honest songwriting to inspire listeners to confront their fears and chase their dreams.

The band has toured Europe every summer, opening for artists like Wolfmother, Mammoth WVH, MC5, Dirty Honey, and WARGASM, as well as playing huge festivals such as Bottlerock, Rockville, Prague Rocks, and Azkena Rocks.

Irish dance-driven math/noise rock collective GOD ALONE, currently on tour with And So I Watch You From Afar, have dropped their explosive new single 'Pink Himalayan'. The track is lifted from their forthcoming album The Beep Test, due 10th October via Prosthetic Records.

Praised by Kerrang! for their “twisted noise, glacial beauty... a duality that’s instantly moving, and sets them apart,” GOD ALONE lean into that contrast more than ever on 'Pink Himalayan'. The track is a frenetic dance–mosh anthem, channeling the chaotic brilliance of The Armed and Black Midi. With its chant-ready chorus, flashing guitars, swaggering drums and euphoric climax, punctuated by the declaration, "We’re going out tonight; it’s party time", the single cements GOD ALONE’s reputation as masters of controlled chaos.

“I wrote the riff and vocal melody a while ago, and we put some synths around it,” recalls guitarist/vocalist Jake O’Driscoll.

“It came to life in the rehearsal room,” adds drummer Jack O’Hanlon. "It’s the first song really with a clean vocal hook. You know it’s party time when you hear it.”

Stream 'Pink Himalayan' here: https://godalone.ffm.to/pinkhimalayan
 
Pre-order The Beep Test here: https://godalone.ffm.to/thebeeptestalbum

GOD ALONE charge through styles and vibes with the velocity of a high-speed bullet train, barreling forward at a breakneck pace, busting boundaries, and beckoning listeners to hold on for dear life. The Cork, Ireland quintet mash together math rock virtuosity, metal intensity, pop hooks, techno textures, and dancefloor-ready grooves equally at home under the glow of a disco ball or in the center of the mosh pit. This is what happens when you invite a cohort of highly skilled music nerds with all of their amps and gear beyond the velvet rope and into the V.I.P. section of the club. This is controlled chaos converted into a catchy collage of sounds. This is GOD ALONE.

Watch GOD ALONE's previously released video for the record’s title track HERE.

GOD ALONE initially surfaced back in 2016. They evolved in real-time with the likes of the Intivim EP (2016), Poll na mBrón (2018), God Alone EP (2019), and ETC (2022). Distorted Sound rated the latter “9-out-of-10,” going on to attest, “A must for any experimental rock and metal fan, GOD ALONE should be one of Ireland’s most talked about bands, and definitely one you should keep on your radar.” Nine Circles concurred, “It can’t be overstated how much ETC breaks away from the pack and does something that is so incredibly creative, and risky while they’re at it.”

Beyond packing venues in Ireland, the group lit up UK festivals such as ArcTangent, Portals, Strange Forms, Focus Wales, and more. The musicians parlayed this momentum into the creative process, co-producing The Beep Test alongside Joe Clayton of Pijn. Under the influence of everyone from LCD Soundsystem and Tears For Fears to Turnstile and Dillinger Escape Plan, the sessions maintained a D.I.Y. spirit.

“The only thing we recorded in a professional studio was the drums,” recalls O’Hanlon. “We did everything else at home – which was new for us. However, it really allowed us to experiment with tones, because nobody is telling you to hurry up or play better. We were able to take our time and make the music the best it could be.”

GOD ALONE are:

Jake O’Driscoll – guitar, vocals
Cian Mullane – bass, vocals
Jack O’Hanlon – drums
Dylan Kelly – synthesizer
Seán Thompson – guitar

PREYRS, a visceral new force in alternative rock and metal, reveal their second ever single, 'Zeros, Ones & Lies', out now via Pelagic Records.

Watch the live session video here: https://youtu.be/UdX6RSt-3Uo
Stream: https://orcd.co/preyrs

PREYRS is the brainchild of Belfast rock artist Amy Montgomery and drummer/producer Michael Mormecha. Fusing raw alternative rock energy with the weight of metal, the quartet's music is an electrifying clash of aggression and euphoria, darkness and uplift, chaos and control. Elements of artists as disparate as Nine Inch Nails, Chelsea Wolfe, Sonic Youth, and Julie Christmas combine to delirious and heady effect.

New single, the high-octane ‘Zeros, Ones & Lies’, wrestles with the spiritual toll of being fed constant footage of atrocity and catastrophe by a media that accepts no responsibility for their part in the global race to the bottom. The track bursts into furious life with urgent, double-time drums met by guitars distorted to the brink of destruction before the song all but caves in on itself as Amy quietly asks of us “Can you feel it? / like a river / it flows so silently / it flows so violently”.

Busking on the streets of Belfast from the age of 15, Amy Montgomery met multi-instrumentalist Michael Mormecha a few years later and they’ve been working together ever since. Both songwriters in their own right, Michael fronted renowned Irish post-hardcore outfit Mojo Fury and worked as a producer for artists including The Bonnevilles, Mojo Fury and Joshua Burnside. They're joined as PREYRS by longtime guitarist Nolan Donelly and new bass player Ciarán McGreevy.

Known for electrifying live performances, PREYRS made their UK festival debut at Bloodstock Open Air this August, as well as appearing at Stendhal Festival in Ireland. Nominated as 'Best Live Act' and 'Best Artist' at the Northern Ireland Music Prize, Amy’s undeniably fierce and captivating frontperson energy has been her secret weapon often described as ‘otherworldly’ or ‘a force of nature’. For those seeking the epic, the healing, the aggressive and the unrelenting pulse of alternative rock and metal, PREYRS is it.

PREYRS will be supporting punk legends New Model Army across Europe this winter.

Genre-defiant nu-core disruptors Tallah have today released their most ambitious work to date, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment,  a fully live-tracked, sci-fi concept album that pulls listeners into a world of collapsing morality, split identities and sonic chaos. Released via Earache Records, the band have also dropped a brand new music video for focus track 'depleted', one of the album’s strangest and most textural songs.

Shot among rusted rebar and yellow-jacket swarms, the 'depleted' video captures the dystopian atmosphere of the record’s second act - wild, decaying and haunted. Sharing more on the experience, frontman Justin Bonitz shares:

“Despite all the dust, yellow jackets, and rusty rebar, this was one of the coolest locations we have ever shot at. There was so much to explore, and it really captured the vibe/aesthetic we saw in our heads when listening to the song. Derek Rathbun (director) made everything so easy and streamlined, so the shoot felt a lot shorter than it actually was. ‘depleted’ is one of the weirdest songs on the album, and we were hoping the video would match the same energy. Have fun listening!”

Watch the video to 'depleted' here: https://youtu.be/Zv-QnSjy5T8 

Listen here: earache.lnk.to/Primeval 

Order Primeval: Obsession // Detachment here: earache.com/tallah

The track itself maintains the raw, unedited approach that defines Primeval: Obsession // Detachment. The album was recorded live in Michigan with producer Josh Schroeder using no clicks, no edits, and no safety nets. Like its four predecessors, 'What we know', 'A primeval detachment', 'augmented' and 'as fate undoes', 'depleted' also ties directly into the album’s layered sci-fi narrative. The concept follows two characters, Ana and Sheelah, on a morally destructive journey across an alien world. Fans can dive deeper into the lore through The Primeval Game, a playable story-world that’s updated monthly with new clues, song teasers, and narrative expansions. Explore the game, built in collaboration with Enzo Interactive at primevalgame.com

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment stands as Tallah's most ambitious and uncompromising work to date. Weaving sci-fi storytelling together with deliberately imperfect performances, Tallah prove that human instinct still has power in an increasingly artificial landscape.

Emerging from Pennsylvania in 2018, Tallah fuse the percussive force of second-generation drummer-turned-bassist Max Portnoy with the unpredictable dexterity of vocalist and viral phenom Justin Bonitz and the phenomenal guitarist duo of Derrick Schneider and Alex Snowden to form a sound that’s part brutalist nu-metal, part theatrical meltdown, and entirely their own. What began as a raw homage to the early-2000s metal they were raised on—Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park—has since evolved into something far stranger and far more singular.

After making waves with their 2020 debut Matriphagy, a twisted concept album soaked in trauma and noise, the band were hailed by Knotfest as delivering “one of the best metal releases of the year” and by Metal Hammer as “leading the charge on the new wave of nu-metal.” The follow-up, The Generation Of Danger (2022), saw them push their hybrid sound further into chaos—earning millions of streams, high-profile festival slots, and nominations at both the Heavy Music Awards and AIM Independent Music Awards.

But it’s on album three, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment (out 5th September 2025 via Earache Records), that Tallah truly shatter what’s left of the mould. Decamping to Michigan to record the entire project live with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the band abandoned edits, clicks, backing tracks, and rules. What remains is pure instinct—feral, volatile, and unrelentingly human.

To date, Tallah have clocked up 29.7 million Spotify streams and 6 million YouTube views.
