Metal preachers POWERWOLF offer a first glimpse into their monumental upcoming live album, Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), out 27th February 2026 via Napalm Records. One of the few German-language tracks in their discography, 'Stossgebet' (originally released on their #1 album, The Sacrament Of Sin, in 2018) is an impressive live interpretation that perfectly captures POWERWOLF’s magic. Cheeky, theatrical and captivating as ever, this sweeping track shows just what the band’s heavy metal mass has to offer.

Pre-order Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) here: https://lnk.to/PW-WildliveAtOlympiahalle
 
The track is accompanied by a live video that documents the sold-out show at the Olympiahalle in Munich during the Wolfsnächte Tour in 2024 – the band’s biggest headline tour to date – and stands as energetic evidence of how a POWERWOLF show is more than just a concert. 'Stossgebet' therefore heralds more than a live album: Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is a cinematic experience, a sacred celebration and an extraordinary demonstration of their unrelenting force.

POWERWOLF comment on Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle): “We always knew that no words or short recap videos could truly capture what we experienced together during the Wolfsnächte 2024 tour. Every night was its own kind of magic – still, we wanted to find a way to hold on to those memories and share them in the most powerful way possible. That’s why we decided to record the full, massive, sold-out show at the Olympiahalle in Munich – to preserve just a piece of what we all felt on this tour. Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is more than a live release. It’s a tribute and manifestation to the moments we created together.”

What began as an unconventional project in 2004 has since evolved into one of the most successful metal phenomena worldwide. Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) documents POWERWOLF’s unrelenting rise to the top, showcasing a performance that goes far beyond a metal concert. From a fire-breathing church organ and thunderous pyro spectacles to dark, operetta-like storytelling and rousing crowd interaction, this show is pure heavy metal theater at its finest. Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is an absolute must-have for every music lover. It will be available in multiple formats including Blu-Ray, DVD, CD and Vinyl as well as a Deluxe Boxset, Earbook, Mediabook, and several other Collector's Editions, featuring exclusive bonus content.
 
On Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), each song is visually reimagined with a changing digital stage set, timed effects, and theatrical elements: monks with torches, falling snow on a burning piano, and a fiery execution scene that rivals shock rock’s greatest icons. Classics like 'Army Of The Night', 'Amen & Attack', 'Armata Strigoi', and 'Demons Are a Girl’s Best Friend' come alive in larger-than-life arrangements, while emotional highlights like 'Alive or Undead' bring the audience to tears. The interplay between frontman Attila Dorn and organist Falk Maria Schlegel turns every moment into an unforgettable ritual.

Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) is more than just a celebration of past triumphs – it marks the beginning of a powerful new chapter in the band’s unstoppable journey. POWERWOLF have long transcended genre boundaries – their shows are cult-like celebrations of metal, emotion, and art. With Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), they once again prove that what they create is beyond music – it is religion.

With the Summer Of The Wicked tour through Europe just behind them, the wolves are ready to conquer the biggest stages worldwide once again. First up is their return to North America – the massive headline tour across the USA and Canada kicks off 17th September 2025 in Toronto, ON. Joining them as special guests are none other than label mates and power metal legends DragonForce.

Just one day after the release of their spectacular new live album Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle), POWERWOLF will raise the banners high once more and conquer Europe during their Wake Up The Wicked Tour, which includes their first show at the legendary OVO Arena Wembley for an exclusive United Kingdom show – a night destined to go down in metal history. The band is also already confirmed to return to some of the biggest metal festivals: POWERWOLF will headline the monumental Wacken Open Air next summer.

Exclusive United Kingdom Show 2026:
07.03.26 UK – London / OVO Arena Wembley

Canadian cellist Raphael Weinroth-Browne ignites the next chapter of his musical journey with ‘Pyre’, the fourth single from his forthcoming solo album Lifeblood, arriving 3rd October.

Born from the idea of a quiet interlude, the track transformed into a haunting meditation on catharsis and sacrifice, its spectral, almost medieval melody conjures half remembered sunsets, fleeting romances and the painful act of leaving one life behind for another. The accompanying animated video by Jess Cope (Steven Wilson, Opeth, Metallica) amplifies the piece’s emotional intensity, weaving Nordic and Galician influences into a visual and sonic landscape that is at once intimate, melancholy and eerily beautiful.

Watch the video: https://youtu.be/BStXghp_LGc

Stream 'Pyre' here. 

Pre-order the album Lifeblood here. 

Raphael comments on the new single: "'Pyre' is a piece about reaching catharsis through sacrifice. The timeless melody of this piece is meant to evoke a distant memory - a dance at sunset, a half-forgotten romance. It is about the painful act of leaving one's past behind to move to the next chapter in life. 

"Initially intended to be a calm interlude between two long, epic tracks on the album ('Ophidian' and 'Labyrinthine'), 'Pyre' quickly evolved into a fully-developed standalone piece. The almost medieval melody that runs throughout was inspired by Galician music but ended up taking on more of a Nordic vibe reminiscent of groups such as Wardruna and Kalandra. 

"I approached Jess Cope of Owl House Studios to create an animated music video to accompany the track. I have been a longtime fan of her work for artists such as Steven Wilson, Opeth and Metallica. To my pleasant surprise, she responded very enthusiastically to the track. Jess has an incredible ability to convey searing emotion through narrative and animation. When I read her initial storyboard for 'Pyre' and saw the rough draft of the video, I burst into tears. The final result is an absolutely gorgeous video that deepens the thematic and emotional world of 'Pyre'."

Lifeblood is Raphael Weinroth-Browne’s most daring and fully formed solo statement yet, a strikingly personal work that channels both the euphoria of creative flow and the relentless drive of ambition. Fusing the heft of progressive metal with Middle Eastern scales, modern classical finesse and enveloping electronic textures, it captures the raw tension and release at the heart of his musical identity.

Commenting on the album, he adds, "I consider this album to be my most autobiographical work to date. As a metalhead turned full-time professional cellist making original music outside the classical realm, I have taken the road less travelled, nurturing my artistic vision and trusting my intuition even on an unorthodox path. I have forged a unique career and identity around my musical voice and the way it manifests itself through the cello. The defiant, audacious energy of this music represents my inexorable drive to continue pursuing my dream in spite of all obstacles." 

Lifeblood was engineered and co-mixed by Darren McGill at Union Sound Company in Toronto, with a final mix by acclaimed producer Adam Noble (Leprous, Katatonia). The album was then mastered by Robin Schmidt (Placebo, Ben Howard). Adding a visual dimension to the album’s immersive sound, the captivating cover artwork was created by Maldivian artist Maahy, celebrated for her ethereal, nature-inspired aesthetic.

Known for his emotionally charged performances and boundary pushing vision, Raphael Weinroth-Browne has become one of the most innovative cellists of his generation. Merging his roots in progressive metal with a passion for Middle Eastern music, he has forged a singular artistic voice that defies traditional expectations. His cello work can be heard on over 200 studio albums, including Woods of Ypres’ Juno Award-winning W5: Grey Skies & Electric Light and in major film and TV soundtracks. Viral cello covers of Opeth, Katatonia and Steven Wilson have earned praise from the artists themselves, while his genre-spanning studio and stage career continues to attract international attention.

Since joining Norwegian progressive rock icons Leprous in 2016, Weinroth-Browne has played over 200 shows worldwide with the band and helped shape the sound of three studio albums. He has shared stages with Evanescence, Apocalyptica, Devin Townsend and performed in front of 40,000 at Hellfest, as well as at prestigious venues such as London’s Royal Albert Hall. As a solo artist, he has opened for artists ranging from Polish neoclassical pianist Hania Rani to Nordic folk ensemble SKÁLD and UK legends Soft Machine.

In recent years, Weinroth-Browne has pushed further into experimental performance and contemporary dance. His solo debut Worlds Within (2020), a 40-minute composition built entirely from layered cello, earned critical acclaim for its emotional depth and innovative form. In 2023, he performed the album live with Ottawa Dance Directive to a sold-out audience at Canada’s National Arts Centre. In 2024, he was commissioned by the UK’s James Wilton Dance to compose BACH Reimagined, an 80-minute score that toured leading venues across the UK and Germany in spring 2025. Following this, his recent single 'Speed of Light' continued the forward momentum, merging baroque motifs with crushing distortion and polyrhythmic intensity, earning acclaim for its fearless fusion of past and future. As his creative output grows increasingly multidisciplinary, Weinroth-Browne continues to defy genre boundaries and redefine what the cello can be in the 21st century.

With more on the horizon later this year, Lifeblood stands as a defining chapter in Weinroth-Browne’s uncompromising artistic path, an album that distills passion, pain, discipline and defiance into a sound that feels both timeless and urgent, intellectually rich yet emotionally visceral.

French dystopian metal band Gravity have unveiled their new single / video 'Décombres', featuring guest vocals from Cage Fight vocalist Rachel Aspe. The band have also released their new EP Rupture - Momentum II.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/74E9Tshqzss

'Décombres' is a powerful and heavy track imbued with melancholy. The two singers blend their clear and distorted voices around emotional harmonies and brutal screams. The French lyrics add a touch of poetry, making the violence of the song even more devastating.

New EP Rupture - Momentum II unveils a dark and dystopian metal that alternates between melancholy and violence. The "Clair-obscur" atmosphere is driven by vocalist Emilie Nox's powerful vocals and enhanced by four guest appearances, one per track:

– Neige (Alcest)
– Rachel Aspe (Cage Fight)
– Clair Larrieu-Maillard (Stinky)
– Julien Lebon (Atlantis Chronicles)

This next chapter continues the story begun in Momentum, telling the fall of the fictional city of the same name — a dark factory-city, a metallic Metropolis inspired by a post-industrial world.

Emilie Nox has also become known for her work with 'organ metal' band Plague of Angels.

Hailing from the south of France, Gravity shapes an ever-evolving dystopian metal — raw, melodic, and intensely emotional. The band is fronted by the powerful and unique voice of Emilie, supported by Alex on guitar, Tim on bass, and Richy on drums. Together, they craft an aural world marked by contrast, dramatic tension, and post-apocalyptic atmospheres. The vocals, always in French, are central to the band’s identity, shifting seamlessly between clean singing and visceral screams.

Germany’s metalcore force AVRALIZE are entering a new era with their sophomore album liminal, set for release on 14th november 2025 via Arising Empire. Following the breakout success of their debut FREAKS, which earned over 5.5 million spotify streams, the band has already unveiled 'upside down,' 'helium,' 'wanderlust,' 'close to you.' and 'medicine.'

Now they return with the crushing new single 'bite my tongue.' Watch the visualiser here: https://youtu.be/XymLCOq2KXo
 
About the track, the band shares: “‘bite my tongue’ is a song that embodies the tension we all carry inside – that battle between what we feel and what we’re able to say out loud. it’s about the weight of holding back, the pressure that builds up when you bury emotions, and the way it can twist you up until you finally explode. the riffs, the grooves, the heaviness – it all mirrors the choking on your own words and the relief that comes when you finally let it all out. for us, ‘bite my tongue’ isn’t just another single – it’s a statement. It’s us showing another side of avralize: groovier, sharper, but also deeply human. If you’ve ever felt like you were drowning in the things you couldn’t say, this one is for you.”
 
With liminal on the horizon, AVRALIZE are proving once again why they are one of Germany’s most exciting heavy acts — unafraid to evolve, unafraid to hit harder, and ready to define the next chapter of modern metalcore.

'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:

07 Nov – O2 Victoria Warehouse, Manchester w/ Palaye Royale
08 Nov – Leeds Beckett Students’ Union, Leeds 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.
