Pete Lambrou, the visionary composer and multi-instrumentalist behind VLMV (pronounced “Alma”), has revealed his new single/video 'I Am An Officer'.

The single is taken from VLMV's stunning new album There Will Come Soft Rains (24th April via Pelagic Records)

VLMV comments on the new single: "'I Am An Officer' is a song in 2 parts. One of regret, and one of thankfulness. It is a funeral march. An ode to contrition. A Lamentation. 

"I wanted to keep the simple piano throughout, delicate and careful, backed with subtle but building textures layered from cello drones re-recorded through various guitar pedals and modular synth.

"It features guest vocals from long time collaborator Anja Madhvani, adding texture, light and hope in what I've aimed to maintain as a celebration of life."

There Will Come Soft Rains takes its title from Sara Teasdale’s 1918 poem and Ray Bradbury’s later short story, both of which imagine a world continuing quietly after humanity’s disappearance. Written during a period of deep engagement with climate fiction and ecological thought, There Will Come Soft Rains reflects on humanity’s legacy, its technological ambition, and its uneasy relationship with the natural world. A century on from Teasdale’s poem, the balance of power feels less certain, and Lambrou’s music inhabits that tension with remarkable subtlety.

Lambrou’s singular sonic language sits at the intersection of ambient, post-rock, modern classical, and experimental electronic music, while remaining unmistakably human at its core. There Will Come Soft Rains has a geological sense of time: themes creep, expand, erode, and reform, resisting conventional structures in favour of something more patient and immersive. Lambrou’s unique voice is intimate and fragile, his vocals hover above the instrumentation, a guiding thread through the expansive soundscapes, drawing listeners closer into the emotional core of each piece. 

Formed in early 2015 and fronted by songwriter/producer Pete Lambrou, VLMV released their debut album via Fierce Panda Records in August 2015, receiving critical acclaim. In 2018 VLMV released their follow-up, and subsequently signed to the illustrious Erased Tapes Music Publishing. Hailed as “Breath-taking in its scope and evoking imagery of the vastness of space...a shimmering soundscape of delicate ethereal beauty” by The Independent, the album was nominated for a Prog Award later that year.

After extensive UK and EU touring until 2020, the pandemic saw a gap in the hectic live schedule and Pete began writing what was to become 2022’s Sing With Abandon. VLMV’s third studio album was described by Prog Magazine as “Gently epic…A proper album, then, as best experienced as such” who crowned it one of the ten albums of the year. 

VLMV have toured the UK and mainland Europe multiple times, as the headline act and support with the likes of Mono, And So I Watch You From Afar, Nordic Giants and God Is An Astronaut, and performing as prestigious festivals ArcTanGent, Dunk, Portals and Post In Paris.

As a composer for Erased Tapes Music, Pete’s work has been heard in households all over the world across commercials, film and television, with clients including Ikea, Vice, Hyundai, Rolex, BT Sport, Amazon, The BBC, S-Power and The National Trust. VLMV’s music has also been as far reaching, with high profile spots on Amazon’s The Grand Tour, Santander, The Champions League Final via BT Sport, and even for The University of Zurich.

Belgian mathcore heavyweights BEAR today reveal their new single 'Metastatic', from their forthcoming EP Anhedonia, which will be released 22nd May via Pelagic Records.

Stream 'Metastatic' and preorder Anhedonia here: https://orcd.co/bear-anhedonia
Watch the ferocious drum playthrough for 'Metastatic' performed by Serch Carriere here: https://youtu.be/uM5UVDLreog

The band state: "'Metastatic' is, to us, a quintessential BEAR track. It blends everything the band has been known for up until this point and adds some new elements people might not have heard from us before. As with all the songs on ‘Anhedonia' - this song was recorded entirely live, with the intention of delivering a more intense, organic sound. 

"It’s also one of the more challenging songs we’ve written together - demanding us to be 100% focused and locked in with each other."

BEAR’s sound is a calculated collision of technical precision and unfiltered aggression — a modern strain of European metal that balances math-inflected complexity with visceral, live-wire intensity. At the core of their identity a combination of brains and brute force.

With Anhedonia, BEAR deliver five songs of pure adrenaline and unfiltered heaviness that capture a band confronting the strange emotional vacuum that can follow trauma. Anhedonia is both a battle cry and a confession; a visceral document of resilience carved from years marked by illness, loss, uncertainty, and hard-won perseverance. 

The EP was recorded live as a full band, with no click track, no studio safety nets, no artificial alignment. What you hear are four musicians locked in, feeding off each other’s raw and volatile energy in real time.

Guitarist James Falck comments: "After writing Vanta which was written during a particularly unpleasant moment in my life (cancer, surgery, treatment, family deaths, breakups), I personally was able to exorcise a lot of demons, and since then a lot of incredible things have happened in my life. Making music has always been a big source of therapy for me, and these songs really represent this state I was in until recently; where I had a lot to be grateful for, but the trauma and pain I had experienced in the years before had created a certain level of numbness, apprehension, and indifference." 

Bassist Dries Verhaert adds: "We indeed approached this project quite differently, both creatively and in the studio. Looking back, I’m proud of what we’ve achieved. Anhedonia is BEAR at our most authentic and vulnerable. If you ever find yourself in the dark, keep pushing. Accept help from those around you, and keep moving forward. This album is proof that even in the toughest times, there’s a way through."

With 'Heal Me To Death', Any Given Day deliver one of their most intense and emotionally charged tracks to date, a crushing metalcore anthem that blurs the line between healing and harm. Driven by razor-sharp riffs, thunderous breakdowns, and a haunting melodic undercurrent, the song dives deep into the toxicity of control disguised as care. 

Watch the video for 'Heal Me To Death' here: https://youtu.be/awY22ZC-6AI
Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/anygivenday

'Heal Me To Death' explores the suffocating weight of relationships where love becomes manipulation, and salvation turns into destruction. It’s a raw confrontation of inner conflict and external pressure, where the promise of being "fixed" comes at the cost of losing yourself. Lyrically, the band paints a dark and vivid picture: golden façades hiding inner demons, faith twisted into force, and words that cut deeper than wounds. The recurring line "Pour your cure like poison, watch me bleed" encapsulates the track’s core, a powerful metaphor for the danger of imposed healing and the violence of misunderstood intentions.

Arising Empire have never been ones to play it safe, but with their newest signing, they’ve doubled down on something far more volatile. Enter Banks Arcade and their ferocious new single 'Severance', a track that doesn’t just blur genre lines, it tears them apart and leaves the pieces smoldering.

Watch 'Severance' here: https://youtu.be/bsG7nRjwFBY
Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/severance

Built on a collision of punishing metalcore, glitchy electronic textures, and the swagger of modern hip-hop, 'Severance' feels less like a song and more like a system overload. It’s aggressive, cinematic, and calculated chaos, exactly the kind of statement you’d expect from a band that has never acknowledged the idea of staying in one lane. 'Severance' captures that momentum at full speed. There’s a maximalist intensity running through the track, industrial electronics colliding with downtuned riffs, hooks that feel like they’ve been dragged through a rave at 3am, and a sense that everything could fall apart at any second, but never does. It’s controlled destruction.

With the world teetering on the brink of collapse, German deathcore force Obey The Kraken return with their aptly titled new single 'War Awaits', the third cut from their forthcoming EP Apocrypha, landing this Friday, 10th April via Seek & Strike.

Having already ripped through the gates with their opening salvo 'Betrayer', the band unveiled a deeper layer of their shadowy mythology with follow-up single 'Netherworld'. Now they escalate the assault with ‘War Awaits’, a full-scale sonic offensive where bombardment level breakdowns, frontline ferocity and scorched earth riffs detonate beneath apocalyptic, otherworldly vocals, advancing like an unstoppable war machine through the wreckage they leave behind.

Watch the video for 'War Awaits' here: https://youtu.be/3rGKpMMoGpc

Stream Apocrypha here

Emerging from Germany’s increasingly vicious extreme metal underground, Obey The Kraken have quickly built a reputation for deathcore that is as narrative driven as it is punishing. Their new EP Apocrypha continues the band’s fascination with apocalyptic storytelling, a biblical saga of fallen angels, infernal alliances and war against the heavens themselves, with each track acting as another chapter in the descent.

Nothing about this world is subtle. Every riff is a weapon. Every breakdown lands like a hammer blow. And with ‘War Awaits’, Obey The Kraken make it brutally clear that the descent has only just begun.

Commenting on the EP, Obey The Kraken said: "Apocrypha means a lot to us, especially as we hadn't planned this second EP.  After finishing our first EP (Worship The Sunken God) last year things developed naturally and we realized we had more to say within this world and sound. We consciously kept the formula of the first EP intact, so anyone who enjoyed EP1 will feel right at home with EP2. Listening back to the final masters, we’re genuinely happy with how consistent and powerful the release feels as a whole. Everything was designed to feel massive, heavy, and epic, supporting the narrative without overcomplicating the production approach.

"Lyrics play a central role for us. Our first EP told the complete story of Cthulhu and his resurrection across four songs and we wanted to apply that same conceptual approach again. On Apocrypha, the songs tell the story of an angel who is cast out of heaven, forms an alliance with hell and ultimately seeks to conquer heaven itself. Each track represents a different chapter of that narrative." 

Apocrypha tells a story in sound, an angel cast from heaven, forging an alliance with hell, returning to challenge the celestial order itself. The EP moves like the story, deliberate and immersive, pulling listeners into Obey The Kraken’s realm where narrative and brutality are inseparable. Nothing is decorative. Nothing is wasted. Every note exists to damage and leave its mark.

Whilst preserving the DNA of their debut, Obey The Kraken push further into uncharted territory.  With production carried out entirely in house, leaving the band with full control over how heavy, how clear and how oppressive they needed it to feel. The result is an EP that is heavy and unflinching, a complete assault for fans who crave deathcore that hits as hard thematically as it does musically.

Pelagic Records today unveil the second single from their new label compilation entitled The Dungeon Tapes, featuring previously unreleased music and cover songs from a variety of album artists.

Opening Side B is a unique cover of the Massive Attack classic 'Angel' from atmospheric doom duo The Answer Lies In The Black Void.

Stream and pre-order The Dungeon Tapes here: https://orcd.co/talitbv-angel

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/-hdhXrUsXU8

Multi-instrumentalist and composer Jason Köhnen states: "Choosing this song has a very strong personal story to it. 'Angel' is dedicated to one of my musical mentors, Carlton Franklin, an 'old-school' DJ who inadvertently taught me the power of musical climaxes and of the hypnotic strength of darkness. During his lengthy DJ sets in the mid 90s he would always drop 'Angel' in the peak of his set and was able to move the audience with his shifts of moods, playing the crowds extraordinarily and creating an amazing brooding trance. Unfortunately Carlton fell (terminally) ill and a crowdfunding was started for him named 'Dead Man Sailing', as a saling man and living on his boat, this would enable him to make a final sail in his yacht across the Atlantic Ocean. A powerful statement from a man who until the last day stayed true to his character and will play with death as he played the crowds, controlling the narrative until the night is over." 

Drenched in the crushing weight of doom, with elements of ambience, electronica is backed-up by the gradual rise of wailing distortion, The Answer Lies In The Black Void create a suffocating density and fragile openness that expands this slow-burning revelation outward into a vast, transcendental soundscape.

Jason continues: "The challenge was to keep the same hypnotic drive as the original, but to add our own doomy and post-rock-esque climactic explosions as the song progresses. For the videoclip we interpreted the original story to our slightly more gothic version, but with the same storyline as the original placed in our own setting. Martina stayed close to Horace Andy's beautiful vocal lines adapting them to her own siren's call."
 
Also appearing on The Dungeon Tapes are such esteemed groups as Psychonaut, Lost In Kiev, Pothamus, Gösta Berlings Saga, Telepathy, and Spook The Horses. 

The Dungeon Tapes also will feature a stunning My Bloody Valentine cover recorded by members of Spotlights, Rosetta, Failure, Shy Low and Hiroe, appearing under the name Pelagic United.

The Dungeon Tapes will be released in physical (28th August) and digital (18th September) format.

Colombian quartet Argovia (Presagio Records), one of the most distinctive voices in Latin American progressive rock, have unveiled their newest single 'Unstoppable'.

'Unstoppable' is the final glimpse of the band's new album Primal Repetition, due tomorrow 10th April, marking a bold step forward in their evolving sonic identity.

Watch the video for 'Unstoppable': https://youtu.be/tbxJCk51Sdg

Primal Repetition digital and physical pre-orders: https://argovia.bandcamp.com/album/primal-repetition
Streaming and digital pre-save: https://music.argoviaband.com/primal-repetition

Blending cinematic atmospheres, Latin American rhythmic influences and emotionally driven songwriting, Primal Repetition positions Argovia as one of the most distinctive emerging voices in the contemporary prog scene.

At its core, the album explores the tension between what we try to leave behind and what inevitably returns. Moving through themes of life, loss, healing and emotional memory, Primal Repetition questions whether we are capable of breaking the cycles that define us — or whether repetition itself becomes a form of reconstruction.

The album was developed over an 18-month production process, with key recording sessions taking place at Sandlane Recording Facilities in the Netherlands — known for its work with artists such as Epica, Ayreon, Anneke van Giersbergen and Floor Jansen — alongside additional production in Bogotá and Santiago.

Founded in 2013 by multi-instrumentalist Ani Guillén (guitars, drums, bass, vocals) and keyboardist/music producer Carlos Arminio, Argovia are a progressive rock band from Bogotá, Colombia. Hailed as one of the most promising acts in Latin American prog, they are poised to make their mark on the international scene.

The band released their debut EP Lost Letters (2014), which earned them a nomination for EP of the Year at the Unión Rock Show awards. Three years later came their first full-length album Distant Present (2017), mastered by Tony Lindgren (Fascination Street Studios, Opeth, Leprous, Katatonia, and more). The record led them to tour several Colombian cities, including Cali and Medellín, and secured their participation in Prog in Motion 2017, the country’s only progressive rock festival.

In 2024, they released the EP Who We Are, which was mixed by Alejandro Londoño (Cultura Tres, Delain, Sepultura), mastered by Steve Kitch (The Pineapple Thief), and featuring drums by Felipe Candia (Aisles). With this release, the band moved away from symphonic and digital sounds, embracing a heavier, rawer, and more mature style, drawing inspiration from Riverside, The Gathering, VOLA, Steven Wilson, and Karnivool. The EP earned them an invitation to open for Norwegian band Circus Maximus during their Bogotá show in September 2024. In addition, vocalist Ani Gillénparticipated in the choral recording of the song 'Faceless' for Leprous, included in their album Melodies of Atonement.

The current lineup features Ani Guillén, Carlos Arminio, Mauricio Sanabria (drums), and Nicolás Paredes (bass).

Swedish progressive metal masterminds EVERGREY share another single from their new album, Architects Of A New Weave, out June 5, 2026 via Napalm Records.

Full of regret, 'The World Is On Fire' stages personal emotions as global pain, the apology reverberating, resonating. Enormous, cinematic melodies pull the listener upward, driven by riffs with genuine weight and bite, while vocals dripping with raw, unflinching truth give voice to a deep, aching sense of longing. 

That longing finds its most intimate expression in the dead of night - when you pull your loved one close, just to feel them breathe - and are confronted with a devastating realization: the promise of a safe tomorrow is a lie you can no longer keep.

'The World Is On Fire' comes with an official music video and also marks the official introduction of guitarist Stephen Platt (Scar Symmetry), who had already been touring with EVERGREY as a live guitarist in 2025. He now officially joins as a full-time band member.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/u8dEggZPzSQ

Pre-order Architects Of A New Weave here: https://lnk.to/Evergrey-ArchitectsoftheNewWeave/napalmrecords

Evergrey comment: "We played a lot of shows with Stephen Platt already, he’s an incredibly lovely human being on top of being a brilliant guitar player, we couldn’t be happier to have him join us for real!"

Stephen Platt reflects: "I'm so happy to become the new guitarist of EVERGREY. I’ve been a fan of the band for a long time now and am extremely honored to have been asked by this group of incredible musicians and people. Looking forward to seeing what the future holds!"

Tom S. Englund about the new single 'The World Is On Fire': "‘The World Is On Fire’ was one of those rare songs that reached inside me and articulated feelings I hadn't even fully recognized yet. Once again, our timing, just as with the song ‘Save Us’ is both haunting and profound. To me, this isn’t just a lament—it’s an uprising. It’s a defiant stand against the forces that thrive on chaos, fear, and silence. They want us scared, quiet, and compliant. But all we want is to raise free-spirited, free-thinking, and independent children who can help build a better world—for us, for them, and for everyone. The devastating lack of compassion and humanity is at the root of everything we see around us. This song isn’t passive acceptance or mere description of our broken reality. It’s us boldly painting a picture of the world we refuse to accept."

Once again, Gothenburg’s finest export proves its unmatched ability to craft timeless melodies, powerful riffs, and gripping lyrics, while continuing to surprise their devoted fans with an innovative approach, even after more than 30 years of existence.

The album arrives just days before EVERGREY take the stage as special guest to the undisputed kings of heavy metal, Iron Maiden, for two shows on their Run For Your Lives World Tour.
 
This is the wake-up call you didn’t know you needed: a plunge into thinning air, burning worlds, and lingering guilt—only to break free with fierce momentum. The album refuses to wallow. It ascends—fast, heavy, and cinematic. But it refuses to hide in the dark. It rises: quick, fierce, and utterly transformative.

Dive into Architects Of A New Weave’s standout tracks like 'The World is on Fire', 'Leaving The Emptiness', 'Heaven', and 'The Prophecy', and the breathtaking title anthem 'Architects Of The New Weave'. Their choruses break through like sunlight piercing storm clouds: enormous, cinematic melodies that pull you upward, riffs with genuine weight and bite, and vocals dripping with raw, unflinching truth. In one breath, you’re shouldering buried longing; in the next, you’re weightless, fearless, endless. Scars transform into badges of survival, fractures fuel reinvention. In the second half of the album, fellow Gothenburg icon Mikael Stanne (Dark Tranquillity, The Halo Effect, Grand Cadaver, Cemetery Skyline) joins Tom S. Englund in vocal duties for 'A Burning Flame', the voices of the two scene legends intertwined compellingly.

Architects Of A New Weave was produced by Tom S. Englund and Vikram Shankar, with a stellar mix by Adam "Nolly" Getgood.
 
Among other exclusive formats, Architects Of A New Weave comes with a bonus album, containing bonus tracks 'Heights' and 'One Heart', as well as an album mix of the previously released standalone single 'OXYGEN!' (2025). Additionally, it features a demo version of 'Longing', instrumental tracks of 'Leaving The Emptiness', both new songs, as well as a live version of 'Falling From The Sun', the hit single from the previous record, Theories of Emptiness (2024) and continuation of 'Ominous' from A Heartless Portrait (The Orphean Testament) (2022).

French post-rock collective HANRY previously announced their debut album What Came From Silence, arriving 29th May via Pelagic Records. The band have now unveiled the second single, 'Remains', offering another glimpse into their carefully sculpted world.

Watch the video for 'Remains' here: https://youtu.be/VUq70hKYT6I

Pre-order What Came From Silence here: https://orcd.co/hanry-wcfs  

The band comment: "'Remains' originated from a demo we had set aside for a long time. For months, the track resisted us, and we rewrote its opening several times without ever finding the right direction. It was only after all the album demos were completed that we returned to it one last time. At that point, something clicked in a clear, almost instinctive way, and the track finally revealed itself as it was meant to be. That was the moment 'Remains' truly came to life.

"The piece opens with an electronic and contemplative approach, written in the spirit of a post-rock track but entirely built from analog textures. The introduction unfolds through a series of raw, almost abrupt sections, with sharp transitions shaping the structure. You can hear influences from artists like Jon Hopkins, Boards of Canada, or Rival Consoles. Gradually, the band re-enters, led by a keyboard that opens a breach. Elements come together step by step until they converge into a powerful riff that suddenly shifts the track. Layers expand and the music moves into a more organic territory, somewhere between Sonic Youth, My Bloody Valentine, and SUUNS. The track ends in a complete collapse, a massive wall of sound with no rhythmic anchor, a final wave where everything dissolves.

"'Remains' explores this constant tension between two states, a fragile balance that, after many transformations, eventually found its final form."

Marking a defining moment in the band’s evolution, the new record captures HANRY at their most expansive and self assured, a sweeping, cinematic body of work where delicate restraint gradually gives way to towering crescendos and luminous emotional release.

Formed in 2022, HANRY have quickly developed a reputation for expansive compositions that balance atmosphere with weight. Built around patience, texture and carefully controlled crescendos, their music moves fluidly between fragile ambient passages and towering, emotionally charged climaxes.

Written during a particularly long winter in Brittany, debut album What Came From Silence carries an atmosphere of tension and introspection across its eight immersive tracks.

Across the record, HANRY lean further into the contrast that defines their sound. Clean guitar tones shimmer before dissolving into waves of saturated distortion. Ambient passages slowly evolve into powerful, widescreen moments. Even at their most delicate, there is motion, subtle pulses and shifting textures that push the music forward. When the band unleashes its full force, the sound remains articulate; each instrument retains its identity within the surge. 

“Since the beginning of HANRY, cinematic imagery has been at the core of our artistic vision,” the band say. “We often compose from mental images, landscapes or scenes that could almost belong to a film. We wanted the album to feel like a continuous experience, something listeners can fully immerse themselves in and interpret in their own way.”

Initially composed by the core trio of Anthony Leliard (bass/guitar), Marc Mifune (keys) and Jean-Anaël Aubaux (J.A) (guitar), the album was then further developed with the full band in their own studio. With J.A. and drummer Clément Champigny both working as sound engineers, HANRY produced and mixed the record themselves at DiscoCasino Studio, ensuring complete control over its identity. It was mastered by Chab at Chab Mastering. 

'Phantom Rush', the closing track on the album features a stunning collaboration with pianist Mariposa, adding an additional layer of depth and emotional intensity to the record.

Artwork was created by French artist Aloïs Lecerf, who describes the piece as reflecting the same tension between stillness and eruption that runs through the record itself.

“It’s balanced between restraint and release. The cover evokes a presence that gradually emerges , something calm, dense, almost motionless, that eventually becomes vast and luminous. It seeks to capture that moment when silence begins to crack. Within a grainy, incandescent landscape, an immobile silhouette slowly fractures, allowing light to emerge.”

The album arrives at a pivotal moment for the band. A recent performance at the renowned Trans Musicales in Rennes was broadcast nationally to thousands, while a live session with KEXP signals growing international momentum.

With What Came From Silence, HANRY deliver a record that feels both expansive and deeply personal, a carefully constructed journey where silence, texture and atmosphere carry as much weight as the crescendos themselves.

Catch the band live at Pelagic Fest in August, with more live dates to be announced soon.
