Get ready for a high-voltage dose of rock ’n’ roll – as Buckcherry and Michael Monroe team up for a co-headline UK tour, bringing two powerhouse names to stages across the country.

In support of their 11th studio album Roar Like Thunder, Buckcherry will be heading back to the UK for the first time since 2023, when illness forced the band to cut their tour short. The 10 date tour launches  February 24th in Southampton and closes March 8th in Brighton, with U.S. band Rubikon confirmed as special guests on all shows. 

Check out the videos for recent singles 'Machine Gun', 'Set It Free',  'Roar Like Thunder' and 'Come On'.

Fresh from headlining Planet Rockstock and Call of the Wild Festival, Michael Monroe - globally renowned frontman and founding member of Hanoi Rocks - brings his unmistakable energy to the tour. A flamboyant force of nature, Monroe has been a defining presence on the rock scene, leaving an indelible mark on the history of glam, punk, and raw rock ‘n’ roll.

Michael Monroe says: “We’re looking forward to teaming up with Buckcherry for what will be an unmissable rock ’n’ roll tour. Be there!”

Downswing stream new single 'Too Little Too Late'

Photo Credit: Chris Arnold

New York metallers Downswing have unveiled their new single 'Too Little Too Late', taken from their new album, And Everything Was Dark, set for release on 24th October via MNRK Heavy.

Featuring guest vocals from Chris Roetter of Like Moths to Flames, watch the video for 'Too Little Too Late' here: https://youtu.be/EuRCAi7KTaM

Stream the track here: https://downswing.ffm.to/tltl

Pre-order And Everything Was Dark here: https://downswing.ffm.to/andeverythingwasdark

The band comment: "At its core, ‘Too Little Too Late’ is about being in a dark place and realizing that help or comfort often arrives only after the damage is done. It’s about wrestling with that helpless feeling of something constantly pulling you down, making you feel less like yourself every day."

Darkness isn't merely a theme for Downswing — it's the environment they've learned to endure. The Albany, New York USA outfit cultivates a heavy atmosphere and melodic depth, stripping away emotional armor and calloused defenses to reveal something raw and defiantly honest. The band’s new album, And Everything Was Dark, serves as both a mission statement and a bold leap forward. 

For nearly a decade Downswing have steadily evolved into a powerhouse of modern metal and groove. The band’s current incarnation emphasises soaring choruses, thunderous breakdowns, atmospheric depth and emotional intensity.

“This is the first time it feels like we’re doing exactly what we want,” says vocalist Harrison Seanor, who joined the band in 2020. “We’re not chasing any specific trend or scene. We’re Downswing.”

Created with a focus on clarity and impact, And Everything Was Dark builds on the sonic foundation of their earlier work while venturing boldly into new territory. Gargantuan riffs and crushing breakdowns intertwine with massive hooks, layered textures and lyrics that resonate deeper than ever before.

'For What It’s Worth' is a bleak outburst of betrayal, confusion and emotional fallout. 'Too Little Too Late' and 'Glass House' explore the record’s central themes: what it means to lose someone you love, the toll of addiction and self-destruction and the slow, painful process of letting go.

“Every song on this record has real meaning,” Seanor says. “There are songs about people we’ve lost, about people we’ve watched spiral, about trying to forgive people who hurt you. It’s personal, but I think people will relate to it in their own way.”

Formed in 2016, Downswing quickly made waves with their unique blend of metallic hardcore aggression and groove-driven heaviness. Early releases such as the Dark Side of the Mind EP (2017) and Good Intentions (2020) cultivated a dedicated underground following and earned the band a reputation for high-intensity performances. 2022 brought the critically acclaimed New Lows EP with their most recent release, Let This Life Devour You EP, arriving in 2024.

Downswing saw And Everything Was Dark as an opportunity to create the kind of record they wanted to hear, without compromise.  “We focused a lot more on structure and storytelling this time around,” Seanor explains. “Before, things might have been more chaotic or riff-driven, but now we’re thinking about flow, dynamics, and what makes a song feel big and memorable. There’s no filler here. Every song has a purpose.”

Downswing will be hitting the road across the USA this September, opening for He Is Legend in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their Suck Out the Poison album. Whether playing to packed hometown crowds or making new converts on the road, Downswing are committed to growth, expression and authenticity. They’ve weathered hardships, lineup changes, personal losses and shifting trends and emerged more confident than ever in who they are.

Downswing aren't just evolving. They’ve arrived.

Harrison Seanor — vocals
Anthony Salvaggio — guitar

The Devil's Trade faces personal truama on new single 'The Sleep That Dragged You Away'

Photo Credit: Pelagic

Acclaimed post-doom artist The Devil's Trade has unveiled 'The Sleep That Dragged You Away', the powerful new single taken from his new album Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép, out 7th November via Pelagic Records.

Watch the visualiser for the new single, 'The Sleep That Dragged You Away' here: https://youtu.be/8oeqAZ3218o

Pre-order Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép here: https://orcd.co/thedevilstrade

The Devil's Trade mastermind Dávid Makó comments: "'The Sleep That Dragged You Away' is the hardest and therefore the most liberating song of my life so far. It was my first experience of failure as a songwriter and singer. The writing process itself was a near nervous breakdown experience, and then I completely broke down during the recording. I had to withdraw and seriously consider the possibility of giving up. This song is closely connected to the prophecy in 'Dear Mother', heard on Those Miles..., which was released eleven years ago. It deals with one of the most defining childhood traumas of my life and the most defining trauma of my adult life so far. It has become a real cliché that music can have a therapeutic effect, and I usually avoid that term, but in this case, it is a truly cathartic processing every time I listen to or perform it.”

Catch The Devil's Trade live:
04.09.25 - Summer Dying Loud Pl (solo)
07.10.25 - Pécs Hu
22.10.26 - Album Release Show Budapest Hu

Dávid Makó began The Devil’s Trade in 2014. His early solo work, often performed with only an acoustic guitar or banjo, quickly garnered attention for its emotional depth and stark beauty. Drawing on Appalachian folk, dark Americana, and Hungarian folk traditions, Makó's music has been praised for its haunting vocals, minimalist arrangements, and profound emotional honesty. Recently, and especially in this new release, elements of post-metal and doom have taken Makó's sound into new, exciting territory, whilst retaining his unique intimacy. 

Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép, translated as “there is no uncontaminated beauty”, is a record forged in grief and the unflinching confession. Fans of The Devil’s Trade will immediately recognise Makó’s signature elements: the deep, rugged baritone, the uncanny ability to transmit raw emotion and melodies drenched in melancholia. With his fifth studio album however, Makó reclaims the heaviness of his early years, pushing his sound into new, atmospheric territory.Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép is much darker and heavier and more complex than anything I have done”, says Makó.

Working within a larger, more dynamic canvas, Makó's confessional power is met with metal-wrought anguish, reborn as an intimate, haunting journey toward authenticity. Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép is an elegy to his late mother. “Between the death of my mother and the birth of my son we only had two weeks" explains Makó, and this complexity of emotion is felt in every beat and breath of the album. Survival, suffering, isolation, the endless human turmoil that hangs over our shared and personal grief. All this is expressed defiantly, through a voice that is devastatingly vulnerable and resilient.

While The Devil’s Trade remains a deeply personal, largely self-driven project, Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép also reflects the input of key collaborators. "Just like with (previous album) Vidékek vannak idebenn, my old friend Gaspar Binder helped me write and record the drums and I wrote and played everything else. Szabolcs Szűcs, our local legend engineered the album and my best friend Márton Szabó helped us as a producer, or I love to use the term: musical conscience. This time I dared to ask another friend of mine, Nikita Kampard (Der Weg Einer Freiheit) to be the mastering engineer and it makes me so grateful that he said yes", states Makó.
 
Nincs Szennyezetlen Szép is not an easy listen, nor was it meant to be. It is a sincerely painful document of mourning and the myriad of emotions that grip us, from bitter rage to catatonic sadness. It is a testament to the resilience found in surviving and continuing through all, a reminder that "there is no uncontaminated beauty".

Dávid Makó - vocals, guitar, keyboard
Gaspar Binder - drums

Swedish alt.metal heavyweights Smash Into Pieces announce new album ARMAHEAVEN

Photo Credit: John Gyllhamn

Swedish rock heavyweights Smash Into Pieces are set to unleash their most ambitious album to date, ARMAHEAVEN, arriving 31st October, 2025.

Pre-save: https://www.smashintopieces.com/armaheaven

With over half a billion streams and views, Smash Into Pieces have risen to become one of modern rock’s most dominant forces. From supporting Evanescence and Within Temptation on the Worlds Collide Tour (2022), reaching the Swedish Eurovision final twice, and delivering 1000+ shows worldwide, the band has cemented its global presence. 2024 was a milestone year with multiple headline tours across Scandinavia, North America, and Europe, followed by a packed festival summer. In 2025, the band’s expansion continues with tours in Thailand, Australia, Europe, and the Nordics.

On ARMAHEAVEN, Smash Into Pieces push their cinematic storytelling further than ever. Picking up where their previous album Ghost Code left off, the new chapter throws listeners into a dystopian future where Ghostis, now unstoppable, seizes control of the world. As the resistance falls, a new force emerges: an AI-driven entity that sparks an all-out digital war for dominance. The clash escalates into global catastrophe, exploring themes of power, survival, and rebirth. Will humanity find salvation, or will the machines consume themselves in a final great reset?

The album also features high-profile collaborations with Elize Ryd (Amaranthe), LIAMOO, and Swedish/Japanese media icon LiLiCo. Together with Smash Into Pieces, LiLiCo delivers the powerful duet 'First Time', bridging continents and cultures - a collaboration introduced to the public on Swedish national television in August 2025.

With an ever-growing international fanbase, countless sold-out shows, and their boldest musical and narrative vision yet, Smash Into Pieces close out 2025 at the peak of their career—proving once again why they are one of the leading forces in modern rock.

A Killer's Confession stream video for new single on album release day

Photo Credit: A Killer's Confession

A Killer’s Confession, the alternative metal band fronted and created by Waylon Reavis (ex Mushroomhead), release their fifth studio album, Victim 2, today via MNRK Heavy.  A new video for opening track 'Hopeless Gray' is also available now.  

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/kKh37Qo2CCU
 
Purchase Victim 2 here: https://akillersconfession.myshopify.com

Additionally, A Killer’s Confession announce a U.S. tour with labelmates Dogma this November.  

On Victim 2, Waylon delves deeper into the concept of the light and dark sides of mankind, and continues the story of a serial killer who wants to bring horrific criminals to justice. But, as he's learning, there are consequences for his misguided deeds, even if he thinks they are the right thing to do.

Waylon says, “Welcome to Victim 2. This is my proudest moment as an artist. It’s very hard to be a fan of your own music, but it is very easy to become a fan of the people you work with to create the music. So much hard work and determination between myself, Dusty Boles and Evan McKeever was put into finishing the second part of the Victim trilogy. I could honestly say I could not have done it without them. I feel this album pulls at every emotion and takes the listener on a true journey while leaving a void for Victim 3 to finish the story.”

Victim 2 kicks off in bristling fashion with 'Hopeless Grey' and 'In Case Of Emergency,' but as the story progresses, the collection of songs explores different musical territory. Victim 2 shows how A Killer’s Confession like to blend genres, notably on the track 'Hollow.' While the song may have an aggro guitar sound, there’s a pop hook in the chorus, while EDM and trap sounds lurk just below the surface. Throughout Victim 2, the dark inner voices plaguing the murderous vigilante emerge in pitch-shifted fashion to distinguish them from his “normal” self. The unexpected cover of Nirvana’s 'Heart Shaped Box' halfway through the album signals a turning point for the killer as he starts re-evaluating his humanity. The closing track wraps things up in an epic, melodic fashion.

German modern metal outfit Unprocessed unveil emotive single / video

Photo Credit: Moritz Hartmann

German metal outfit Unprocessed have unveiled 'Beyond Heaven's Gate', the powerfully emotive second single taken from their upcoming album Angel, due for release on Halloween 2025 (31st October).

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/jL0w_8q4vsY 

Stream the single here: https://ffm.to/beyond-heavens-gate

Pre-order Angel here: https:ffm.to/unprocessed-angel  

Unprocessed comment on 'Beyond Heaven's Gate': "We can believe in things beyond heavens gate - bats communicate with ultrasonic waves, dogs can smell diseases before they break out, cats can see in the night… so wouldn’t it be foolish to think that we can sense everything there is? This song represents a longing for something more than we can see, an answer to our internal questions about life and death. If you wish for it, you can be in touch with those who aren’t physically around anymore, and connect with a world 'Beyond Heaven’s Gate'.

"Musically this may be our catchiest song on the album, with a more active rock approach while staying true to our progressive roots."


'Beyond Heaven's Gate' follows the single 'Solara' featuring Zelli of Paleface Swiss, a crushingly heavy track that combines an electronic approach with the signature Unprocessed downtuned riffage.

Unprocessed have also been announced as main support to Jinjer on their 2026 UK/EU headline tour, with Textures opening. Catch them on the following dates:

27 Jan: SWG3, Glasgow
28 Jan: 3Olympia, Dublin
29 Jan: O2 Ritz, Manchester
30 Jan: O2 Institute, Birmingham
31 Jan: O2 Forum Kentish Town, London

Unprocessed is composed of Manuel Gardner Fernandes (vocals, guitar), David Levy (bass, synths), Christoph Schultz (guitar), and Leon Pfeifer (drums). Their upcoming album Angel marks another bold step in the band’s creative evolution. Expanding their sonic palette with heavier textures and emotive and intimate lyricism that highlights their poppier side. Angel features high-profile guest appearances from Zelli of Paleface Swiss and Jason Aalon Butler of Letlive and Fever 333. These collaborations add new layers of urgency and intensity to a record that explores themes of conflict, duality, and inner transformation.

The band speaks more about the themes of Angel: "This album is more than just a record by four boys from Germany - it’s a light shone upon the unknown, like memories from the afterlife. We explored the concept of "Angel" in various ways: becoming an angel through real-life actions, hearing angels serenade, a fallen angel telling his story and becoming the Antichrist, or seeing someone as an angel through glorification. This concept inspired both the music and the lyrics. While we’re leaning more into a polished metalcore sound, the record still maintains the essence of what makes Unprocessed unique. It features some of the craziest guitar, bass, and drum work we've ever showcased as a band. At the same time, we believe it’s more accessible to the broader metal and metalcore audience, with our strongest and catchiest hooks and melodies to date.

The band’s previous album, ...and everything in between (2023), received widespread acclaim for its complex arrangements and specifically heavy compositions. The record launched a major touring cycle which saw the band complete headline shows with many sold out across North America, and Europe, as well as performing their largest shows in China, and venturing into Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Australia for the first time. They also appeared at prominent festivals such as Download (UK), Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium), Mystic Festival (Poland) and Resurrection Festival (Spain).

In the past two years, Unprocessed have supported major heavy acts including In Flames, TesseracT, August Burns Red, Spiritbox, and Polyphia. Their collaborative work with Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage on ...and everything in between highlighted  the potential Unprocessed continues to exhibit amongst the scene’s most exciting guitar focused acts.

Central to Unprocessed’s identity is guitarist and vocalist Manuel Gardner Fernandes, whose playing has garnered international attention across online platforms and beyond. His partnership with Ibanez, including a signature model, and his ongoing guitar clinics around the world, reflect his growing status as one of the leading voices in modern metal guitar.

Unprocessed continue to push their sound forward with each release. Angel presents their most focused and dynamic material to date, offering a deeper look into the extremes of human experience without losing the technical foundations that first set them apart.
