Introducing brand new spiritual art-rock collective moksha, who today reveal their debut single 'Three Rivers'.
Stream 'Three Rivers' here: https://moksha.hearnow.com
The band comment: "'Three Rivers' takes its name from the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of three sacred rivers in India, a place where families come to immerse the ashes of loved ones and perform rituals connected with remembrance and the hope of moksha (liberation). It asks a simple question: what would you do if you knew everything was temporary? What would change?"
moksha are a UK group founded by Sam Chetan-Welsh, best known for his time in the acclaimed Ithaca. Blending emo, math rock and elements of gospel, neo-soul and spiritual jazz, the moksha project brings together a number of brilliant musicians - including brass, woodwind, keys and multiple vocalists - to create expansive compositions that invite moments of connection and enlightenment.
Gathered together with the aim of only performing one to two times per year, moksha will approach each appearance as a rare live moment of transcendence.
Watch moksha at their first festival show, at the famed ArcTanGent, on Friday 21st August, mainstage, at 12:10pm.

Finnish psychedelic rock visionaries Polymoon return with Mariposa Magic!, their third album and most immersive work to date. Set for release on 4th September via Vesperian, the album starts an exciting new chapter for the band, accompanied by the release of a powerful new single.
'Glass House, Mortal Rooms' is the second glimpse of Mariposa Magic! and a true showcase of Polymoon pushing their creative boundaries. Spanning more than seven minutes, the track surges through waves of intensity, radiant textures and constantly shifting movements, balancing fearless experimentation with overwhelming melodic pull. Expansive yet emotionally direct, it demonstrates just how far the band can push their sound without sacrificing the accessibility at its heart. Accompanying the single is a striking new video created in collaboration with acclaimed filmaker Ilona Lehtonen.

Pre-order Mariposa Magic! here: https://linktr.ee/vesperian
The Finnish quartet inhabit a realm they’ve helped define: psychedelic post-gaze that shimmers, swells and dissolves at the edges. It may sound like an impossible genre to define until the first notes of Mariposa Magic! make everything click into place. Expanding on the foundations laid by Caterpillars of Creation (2020) and Chrysalis (2023), the new album ventures deeper into uncharted territory, where luminous guitar work, fluid rhythms and slowly unfurling melodies merge into vast, iridescent soundscapes. It's music that rewards surrender as much as attention, drawing listeners deeper with every return.
Produced by Juho Vanhanen, best known as the frontman of Oranssi Pazuzu, Mariposa Magic! was recorded and mixed by Valtteri Väänänen at Lammaskallion Audio before being mastered by Jaakko Viitalähde. To preserve the richness and dynamic range of the performances, the record was cut directly to lacquer and sent straight to the pressing plant, ensuring the vinyl master retains the warmth and depth of the original recordings.
The album's striking cover photography comes courtesy of Elizaveta Porodina, the Munich-based visual artist celebrated for her dreamlike, painterly aesthetic. Her work has featured in campaigns for Dior, Louis Vuitton and Chanel, while her portraits of Zendaya, Brad Pitt and Bella Hadid have appeared in multiple international editions of Vogue.

POLYMOON - Glass House, Mortal Rooms
On Mariposa Magic!, songs dissolve into shifting states of consciousness. Melodies emerge from swirling textures, rhythms pulse like living organisms and each composition seems to transform in real time, pulling the listener through an ever-changing landscape where atmosphere and emotion become inseparable. Every passage feels alive, as though the music is quietly evolving beneath your feet.
Beneath its dreamlike exterior lies extraordinary craftsmanship. Every transition, every swell and every fleeting detail has been meticulously shaped, yet nothing ever feels constrained. Instead, the album moves with effortless momentum, balancing technical precision with an intoxicating sense of curiosity, freedom and wonder. It drifts, blooms and erupts in equal measure, dissolving the boundaries between structure and spontaneity.
Mariposa Magic! is more than an album, it's a place to inhabit. Psychedelic, cinematic and endlessly absorbing, it reveals fresh colours, hidden textures and unexpected emotional depths with every listen, lingering long after the final note fades like the memory of an extraordinary dream.

Heavy metal force ACCEPT unveil the third single from their upcoming anniversary album, Teutonic Titans 1976-2026. For a powerful new rendition of the fan-favourite deep cut 'Save Us' (originally from I’m a Rebel, 1980) the band is joined by Tobias Forge, bass master Frank Bello, and powerhouse drummer Ray Luzier. 'Save Us' showcases both ACCEPT’s enduring songwriting and the extraordinary musical community that has celebrated and supported the band throughout its five-decade career.
Stream here: https://youtu.be/b8NFF7s2IoA
Out 4th September, 2026, via Napalm Records, Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 marks ACCEPT’s 50th anniversary with 19 iconic tracks reimagined alongside 50 legendary guest artists. 'Save Us' stands out as one of the album’s most compelling moments, breathing new life into a hidden gem from the band’s catalogue while celebrating both ACCEPT’s lasting legacy and the heavy metal genre they helped shape. Powerful and timeless, the album proves that ACCEPT remain as vital and influential as ever.
Wolf Hoffmann about 'Save Us':
"Tobias was not really on my radar. Obviously, I know Ghost, and they’re huge, but last year he turned up at one of our shows when we played in Stockholm, and we were chatting a little bit, and he said that his favourite song was ‘Save Us’, and at one point he was considering using it as a cover song on one of their albums, but it never panned out. ‘Save Us’? I don’t even remember that song. Nobody has even mentioned that song! I had to go back and listen to it. After I saw a Ghost show it all made sense to me. It really fits his style and I could really imagine him doing that song really well.
"He’s right, it’s a fun song!"

German heavy metal legends ACCEPT celebrate 50 years of pure power, bringing together the scene’s A-list musicians for a landmark release. Teutonic Titans 1976–2026 stands as a definitive statement of the band’s legacy, forged in steel and driven by unmistakable riffs. Arriving 4th September via Napalm Records, the album delivers some of the most iconic songs ever written in heavy music.
Led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, the longtime architect of ACCEPT’s sound, the band are joined by a staggering 50 guests across 19 reimagined versions of their biggest tracks. Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 is ACCEPT’s most ambitious and star-studded release to date, reaching far beyond their country’s borders. Featuring the biggest names in heavy music paying tribute to the German icons, the record cements the band’s standing on the global stage.
This is more than an album; it is a manifesto of metal. Pre-orders are now available in various exclusive formats.
Wolf Hoffmann about Teutonic Titans 1976-2026:
“There is no better way to celebrate this 50-year anniversary than to have our musical peers, friends, and inspirations come together with us to record these classic ACCEPT songs, which I am honored and proud to share with the world. I hope everyone enjoys this very special record as much as we all enjoyed making it.”
Chronologically progressing through albums from their formative years, from I’m a Rebel (1980) to Eat the Heat (1989), ACCEPT present their songs with an all-new, all-star lineup, alongside the signature voice of Mark Tornillo and Wolf Hoffmann’s unmistakable riffs. By enlisting a Who’s Who of metal, no two songs on Teutonic Titans 1976-2026 are the same. Every track features a different combination of vocals, guitars, bass, and drums, giving each classic a fresh edge.
Tobias Forge delivers a commanding performance on the track 'Save Us' (I’m a Rebel, 1980), joined by Ray Luzier on drums. Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Mikkey Dee tear through the speed metal classic 'Fast As A Shark' (Restless and Wild, 1982). 'Balls to the Wall' surges with the powerful range of Metal God Rob Halford, alongside the guitar work of Matthias Jabs, while the reimagined 'Love Child' is elevated by Billy Corgan and David Ellefson (both songs from Balls to the Wall, 1983).
Other guest stars on ACCEPT’s extraordinary release include K. K. Downing, Bobby Blitz, Hansi Kürsch, Chris Jericho, Ralf Scheepers, Billy Sheehan, Ola Englund, and Jeff Loomis. The album also features a re-recording of 'Hellhammer' (Eat the Heat, 1989), performed by ACCEPT’s current lineup: Wolf Hoffmann, bassist Martin Motnik, guitarist Philip Shouse and drummer Christopher Williams, joined by Jason McMaster on vocals. The album masterpiece was produced, mixed and mastered by legendary producer Zeuss.

Brooklyn-based noise rock/punk outsiders FOREIGN BODY have released their latest song 'Libertines' - another preview of the band’s caustic second LP, Libertine, set to drop via Brutal Panda Records on 11th September.
Watch the video to 'Libertines' here: https://youtu.be/twfjzX0siaw
With the new song/video premiere, the band reveal, “Buying prostitutes and an easy exchange of meat. An ode to those who traffic in human lives at all levels and rungs of existence. Dumb women and sexual market failures meet each other on a race to the bottom.”
Libertine will be released on coloured vinyl LP, CS, CD, and digital format. Pre-orders are now live at the Brutal Panda webshop and Bandcamp, and digital presaves are available here.
FOREIGN BODY play raw, hideous, and vulgar music emblematic of the seedy underbelly of yesterday’s New York City – where sex workers walked the streets freely, rubble and decay were prevalent, drugs were readily available, and every businessman’s briefcase contained a loaded gun. The quartet spin jet-black yarns that polite society would rather have swept under the rug, soundtracking them with jaw-clenching and furious mid-tempo punk exploding with fresh ideas. And even though FOREIGN BODY drip with a loathsome mix of hatred for modern living and a desire for its immolation, they’re also one of music’s most promising faces.
FOREIGN BODY’s new album Libertine is a wholly relentless listen with unflinching portrayals of vice, perversions and glorified excesses. The album was recorded by Matt Russell (REZN, Oozing Wound, Big Laugh), mixed and mastered at STR in San Diego by Matt Ibarra of Rectal Hygienics, and completed with artwork by vocalist Hugh Potter. This is a must-hear record for fans of Brainbombs, Couch Slut, Rectal Hygenics, Unsane, Chat Pile, The Birthday Party, Flipper, Big Black, and labelmates Intercourse.
The band reveal, “The notion of Libertine is the idea of an individual, usually people with a lot of wealth that have the capacity to act upon their desires to the fullest extent. It’s an investigation of that idea to its farthest, impossible conclusion, within literature and a modern context.”
FOREIGN BODY will be touring USA in September. Expect additional live updates as the record’s release draws near.
Tour dates:
09/18 McDuffs – Philadelphia, PA
09/19 Preserving Shows – Pittsburgh, PA
09/20 The Brass Rail – Ft. Wayne, IN

Australian breakthrough heavy act Future Static return with their huge new single 'Ornaments & Memories'.
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/dOvovgMeEXM
Stream / purchase here: https://orcd.co/ornamentsandmemories
On the single, vocalist Amariah Cook comments: “I wrote the lyrics to 'Ornaments & Memories' as if writing a letter to myself to listen back to when I start to lose track of what is important. A reminder to be more present, and to take each step based on what will create the most positive impact.”
'Ornaments & Memories' is an emotionally charged reminder of how fleeting life is, an auditory arc of a flood, building from a slow crescendo into a climactic drop that falls away until nothing but a whisper remains. Lyrically grounded in Stoicism and the concept of Memento Mori, the song was written for those who find themselves dissociating from what matters, and intended to inspire deep thought followed by imminent action.
Melbourne five-piece phenomenon Future Static are carving their position among the one of the most exciting forces in modern metalcore. Following the success of their #1 Australian AIR-charting debut album Liminality (2023), the band have rapidly risen through Australia’s heavy scene and beyond, earning critical acclaim from Kerrang!, Metal Hammer, and Triple J, whilst touring extensively across Australia; including supporting Babymetal, Electric Callboy, Jinjer, Enter Shikari, Don Broco, Lacuna Coil and TesseracT. International touring has included EU/UK headline shows, supporting Ankor and Humanity’s Last Breath, and multiple prestigious European festival appearances; including Sziget (HU), Radar (UK), Reeperbahn (DE) and Euroblast (DE).
Blending technical precision with melodic chaos, Future Static's sound is both striking and emotionally raw - a reflection of personal struggle, resilience, and self-discovery. Led by their breathtaking lead vocal tandem, a magical chemistry of electrifying front-woman Amariah Cook and bassist Kira Neil, and backed by guitarists Ryan Qualizza and Jack Smith, and drummer Jackson Trudel’s intense musicality and blazing fury, Future Static have taken Australia’s live circuit by storm.

Ukrainian modern metal band IGNEA further open the doors to their forthcoming album, Monumental, out 23rd October via Napalm Records, with their second single, 'Darkness'. The song sets the emotional foundation for the album, which is set around the concept of nostalgia.
'Darkness' explores finding comfort in memories even if they reveal cracks. Native to Kyiv, IGNEA have their own fair share of those, so the new song inevitably takes a bittersweet turn. Shifting between eerie, melancholic verses and grandiose, uplifting choruses before crescendoing into a live choir set against raw blast beats, the new song mirrors the emotional swing of yearning itself, the drift into shadow followed by sudden bursts of longing.
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/DGQfpAnp4Fk
Pre-order Monumental here: https://lnk.to/Ignea-Monumental/napalmrecords
'Darkness' is paired with a music video shot in Ukraine’s capital city. The walk through Kyiv reflects another central theme of the album, passing modernist buildings that symbolise a future that never arrived. Part of the video was filmed at the Kyiv National University of Construction and Architecture, a location of particular symbolic importance for an album rooted in urban nostalgia. Its halls still carry the energy of generations of students who trained there to build the very structures the video now quietly mourns.
With the very buildings that once held only innocent memories of the band's upbringing now being destroyed by war, the imagery takes on an even more poignant meaning. It's no longer simply a longing for the past, but grief for a world that is disappearing in real time. In a cruel twist of fate, IGNEA filmed the video for 'Darkness' amid the literal darkness left by one of the largest missile and drone attacks on Kyiv, which struck the city the night before filming began.
Vocalist Helle Bohdanova comments: “'Darkness’ is about the rides we take into nostalgia when the present gets too heavy and how bittersweet it is to realise you can never actually go back. As all IGNEA members are from Kyiv, we wanted to make a nostalgic ode to our city, walking through its memory, the same modernist buildings that once promised a future, the subway stations, the same streets that hold our childhoods, our first kisses, people we’ve lost.
"The war, in its turn, adds its own layer of darker nostalgia, watching those buildings burn in real time and it heavily affected both days of filming. On the first day, one of the worst missile attacks on Kyiv hit the night before, we hadn’t slept at all, running on nothing but adrenaline and the city was still on fire as we drove to the location. On the second, we filmed through the city with sirens and drones overhead.
"Considering this, we’re living in literal darkness, longing for the peaceful, trouble-free days… Can we ever get back?”
Echoing nostalgia for a future that never arrives on Monumental.
Monumental is IGNEA’s second full-length album that was written during the full-scale war in Ukraine. The recording process mostly took place in the winter of 2025-2026, during icy temperatures and long power outages in Kyiv.
Helle Bohdanova comments about Monumental: “Back in the 17th century, nostalgia was considered a deadly disease - and in many ways, it still is. It’s a universal feeling experienced by every human being, pulling us toward a past that felt gentler than it truly was, especially during the bitter moments of the present. Much of this album was inspired by modernist architecture - concrete giants built to signal progress and a brighter future, now slowly decaying. They've become a sort of memory box: monuments to unrealised dreams, where the future that was once imagined never arrived, yet continues to echo through the ruins and bright mosaics.”
On Monumental, IGNEA takes the listener on nostalgic rides, with all their ups and downs, expressed in music and lyrics, carrying a sense of gentle sadness and reflection, as nostalgia can bring back beautiful memories, darkened by the awareness that these moments will never happen again.
Following Dreams of Lands Unseen (2023), the band navigates through unique facets of the past across nine tracks - from the grandeur and ambition of Cold War space dreams to the melancholy of urban decay and forgotten modernist structures, all the way to the emotional weight of personal and collective memory. All lyrics on Monumental were written by vocalist Helle Bohdanova. The music was composed by keyboardist Yevhenii Zhytniuk, with additional contributions from Helle Bohdanova. Mixing and mastering were handled by Grammy Award-nominated producer Jacob Hansen, known for his work with bands such as DELAIN, Amaranthe, Volbeat, Amon Amarth, Arch Enemy, and Epica.

UK headline dates with special guests Avralize, Bite Down:
Nov 7 - Nottingham (UK) - The Rescue Rooms
Nov 8 - London (UK) - The Garage
Formed in 2020 in Karlskoga, Sweden, Allt are known for their audiovisual storytelling and innovative approach to metalcore. The name Allt, meaning "everything" in Swedish, reflects the band's philosophy: never to be confined within genre boundaries, continually delivering conceptually rich compositions inspired by the world around them and the stories and myths told through the ages.
Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album From The New World in 2024, a record exploring societal collapse, survival, and humanity through a fictional post-apocalyptic lens, the band now announces their sophomore album Ataraxia.
Ataraxia marks a shift inward; the album draws directly from lived experience. Musically, Allt continue to evolve their signature blend of modern progressive metalcore, placing greater emphasis on emotional space and restraint. The aggression remains, but is now placed in direct dialogue with vulnerability. The result is Allt's most intimate, human, and honest work to date.
Allt comment: "With Ataraxia, we wanted to write from the place we actually live in, not an ideal version of it. The album is about the search for peace, but also about the parts of you that resist it. We've all experienced moments where you know what would be better for you, but
something in you pulls in the opposite direction. That tension became a central part of the writing."

With 'SPIT', TOK (The Oklahoma Kid) open a new chapter. The arrival of Tobias Rische brings a sharper, more emotional vocal edge that defines their renewed identity.
Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/SgX98vSTNR8
The track’s raw intensity and themes of broken trust mark the foundation of the band’s rebranding, pushing TOK into a darker, more confrontational space. Paired with a bold early 2000s aesthetic, 'SPIT' captures the moment of rupture and reinvention, setting the tonefor the band’s future.
