The bog is coming.

Australian heavy metal outfit Battlesnake have announced their new album, Bogpocalypse and the Annihilation of Lucifer, set for release 19th February 2027, with the album announcement accompanied by the release of the record's third single, 'Bog Bringer'.

Following the previously released singles 'I Killed Satan' and 'Mud Apocalypse', 'Bog Bringer' offers another glimpse into a record that exists somewhere between a campfire ghost story and a loaded weapon, swampy, unholy and gleefully pulpy.

Ask Battlesnake to describe the album and they don't reach for genre tags. They describe it as “a 90s Goosebumps novel with guns.”

Bogpocalypse and the Annihilation of Lucifer
finds Battlesnake at a new point in their evolution. After years of recording and relentlessly touring together, the band entered the studio with something they hadn't quite experienced before: certainty.

That familiarity became the foundation for a different kind of Battlesnake record. Where previous albums were acts of discovery, Bogpocalypse became an exercise in execution, six musicians who know exactly what they bring to the room and how to push each other further.

The album was recorded in Prague, Czech Republic, during a dedicated three-and-a-half-week studio session. Living together on-site in a foreign country, the band were effectively sealed away with nothing but the songs and each other.

That atmosphere is embedded throughout Bogpocalypse: claustrophobic, humid and tense, but always with Battlesnake's sense of humour lurking somewhere in the swamp.

It's nostalgic and dangerous at once, the lurid cover, cheap thrills and campfire dread of a book you probably shouldn't have been reading after bedtime, weaponised and turned up loud. That tension runs through the three singles released from the album.

'I Killed Satan' is a gleefully profane victory lap through the underworld, powered by riffs that take the song's ridiculous premise completely seriously. 'Mud Apocalypse' drags that same energy into the swamp, waterlogged, feral and built to be played at an irresponsible volume. And now 'Bog Bringer' arrives with the album announcement, expanding the world of Bogpocalypse and offering another glimpse at the record's darker, heavier and increasingly strange territory.

Together, the three singles reveal an album about digging yourself out of the muck and setting the devil on fire on the way up.

Bogpocalypse and the Annihilation of Lucifer isn't simply a bigger Battlesnake record.
It's a braver one.

The bog is open. Lucifer has been warned.

Bogpocalypse cements Battlesnake's position as one of heavy music's most infectiously fun, dizzyingly raucous acts. 

In 2026 they had a non-stop year of touring, including opening mainstage at Bloodstock, before two sold out headline shows at Brighton and London. The group also performed their legendary live silent disco sets at 2000trees and ArcTanGent.

Channelling the grandiosity of Queen, the steel of Judas Priest, and the doom-laden power of Black Sabbath, Battlesnake forge a sound that feels both gloriously familiar and strikingly original. 

The band's international breakthrough came in 2024 with The Rise and Demise of the Motorsteeple, a high-octane concept album that blended thunderous metal with intricate narrative ambition. They followed this with 2025's Dawn Of The Exultants And The Hunt For The Shepherd. In their time, the band have performed with KISS, The Smashing Pumpkins, Jane’s Addiction, at Download (UK), Copenhell (Denmark), Rock for People (Czech Republic), Mad Cool (Spain), and more.

All hail Battlesnake!

Chicago shoegaze four piece Sleepwalk release new single 'Jan 22'

Photo Credit: Max Rubin

Chicago’s Sleepwalk have shared their new single, 'Jan 22', the latest preview of their forthcoming album View From The Outside due 13th November via MNRK Heavy. 

An anthemic, serene dream-pop number, ‘Jan 22’ pairs enveloping vocal melodies with shimmering guitars and sees the four-piece further refine their distinctive blend of shoegaze, ’90s alt rock and post-hardcore.

"'Jan 22’ is a love letter to winter time in the city, as well as a general celebration of life," Ryan Davis (vocals/guitar) explains. "It's easy to focus on the bad things and miss the beauty.”

Watch the video for 'Jan 22' here: https://youtu.be/Vp-cXnFuiQY

Presave View From The Outside here: http://sleepwalk.ffm.to/viewfromtheoutside

Lead single ‘Sandbox’, delivered last month, was an appropriate introduction to View From The Outside, an album that exists somewhere between the dream state and the waking world, where chiming guitars, battered rhythms and wistful melodies collide with the uncomfortable business of being alive right now. Now, with follow-up ‘Jan 22’, that tension gives way to something warmer, a song about finding small pockets of beauty in the middle of winter and remembering to actually notice them.

Sleepwalk have always occupied the space between things. Shoegaze without the shoegaze clichés. Post-hardcore without the obligatory aggression. Alternative rock with enough strange corners to keep it from settling comfortably into nostalgia. On View From The Outside, those contradictions become the point.

The band's fourth full-length finds them moving decisively beyond the nu-gaze beginnings of their earlier work, expanding their palette without losing the hooks, heaviness or emotional directness that brought listeners to them in the first place. There are moments of towering guitar noise and bruising post-hardcore; dreamy passages that feel almost weightless; flashes of ’90s alternative rock; and, unexpectedly, even trip-hop.

“We wanted to explore some sub-genres that weren’t explored in the same way before,” says guitarist Tyler Gargula. “There’s dreamy things that weren’t as intricate; more rocky things that are now very clearly rock focused; and even trip-hop on the album’s closing track.”

The result is an album of dramatic shifts and subtle moods, weathered without being sentimental, melancholy without becoming miserable and adventurous without forgetting how to write a great song.

There is a distinctly Chicagoan DNA running through it, too. The album was recorded over twelve days at Earth Analog in Tolono, Illinois, the studio of Hum guitarist and vocalist Matt Talbot, an especially fitting setting given Hum's influence on Sleepwalk's sound. Once again, the band worked with producer Zac Montez (Whirr, Cloakroom), whose fascination with electronic music brings another dimension to Sleepwalk's already densely layered sound.

Formed in 2015, Sleepwalk built their reputation by seamlessly combining the visceral and cerebral. Lush, fuzzy guitars and reflective vocals, propelled by hardcore-inflected rhythms, saw the band draw comparisons to Hum, Failure, Quicksand and fellow Chicago legends The Smashing Pumpkins, while their live shows alongside Glassjaw, Thursday and Nothing introduced their strange, heavy little world to an increasingly devoted audience.

Now, with MNRK Music Group behind them, Sleepwalk are entering their next chapter. View From The Outside is heavier. Stranger. More considered. More ambitious. But at its centre remains the same idea that has always made Sleepwalk compelling, heavy music for the lighthearted, made by people trying to find something beautiful while everything around them gets progressively weirder.

And sometimes, the best place to do that is from the outside.

French atmospheric metal pioneers ALCEST have officially announced the release of their long-awaited first live album, Live At Hellfest 2022, set for release on 4th December via Nuclear Blast Records.

Captured during a spellbinding appearance at one of heavy music’s most revered gatherings, Live at Hellfest 2022 stands as a monument to the group’s transcendent live presence. The performance seamlessly weaves together evocative fan favourites spanning their entire career prior to 2022 - tracing an emotional trajectory from their groundbreaking 2007 debut Souvenirs d'un autre monde through to 2019's acclaimed Spiritual Instinct. 

To mark the announcement, ALCEST have unveiled the album’s first single, 'Protection (Live At Hellfest 2022)'. Listeners can stream the audio track now or experience the intense live performance video here: https://youtu.be/ofRgjwCBuRM

About ALCEST:
For principal songwriter and frontman Neige, ALCEST has always been a gateway to the otherworldly, a means of exploring his spirituality. An elemental two-piece, completed by long-serving drummer and creative confidante Winterhalter, ALCEST seem to dip their toes in a multitude of musical genres without ever quite fitting in. “In the metal scene ALCEST is a weird band, in the indie/post-rock scene ALCEST is a weird band - we never quite fit in,” Neige reflects. “This is how I feel in life, always an outsider; It’s not a problem, it’s just the way it is.”

New York-based death metal corpse grinders UNDEATH share their Relapse debut single 'Arterial Bombardment'.

Listen on all streaming services: orcd.co/arterialbombardment

Listen via Youtube here: https://youtu.be/ZJObtup-6qY 

UNDEATH Frontman Alex Sason comments: “Today it's our pleasure to share 'Arterial Bombardment' with you. After signing with Relapse we knew we had to come out swinging, and a track full of non-stop riffing, blasting, death metal sickness seems like the perfect way to do so. Our bassist Tommy Wall masterminded this song, the mad genius Colin Marston engineered, mixed and mastered it, and we believe it serves as an excellent appetizer for what's to come from this next chapter of UNDEATH. 

"We hope you dig what you hear and we can't wait to show you what else we've got in store for all of you.”

Additionally, UNDEATH begin their Southern & Eastern European Tour with Suffocation, Ingested & Eternal this Thursday, 8th October until 28th October. After that UNDEATH continue their European carnage from 30th October for 11 headline dates through Italy, Germany & UK. Including an appearance at Damnation Festival’s A Night of Salvation.

Rounding out 2026, UNDEATH will perform 2 sold out, home state New York shows at Saint Vitus with labelmates Pig Destroyer.

Stay tuned for more news about the band's highly anticipated 4th studio full-length in the near future. 

All tickets are on sale now at https://undeathmetal.com/

UK Dates:

4 Nov - Milton Keynes, Craufurd Arms
5 Nov - London, Downstairs at The Dome
7 Nov  - Leeds, Boom
8 Nov - Glasgow, Slay
9 Nov - Manchester @ Damnation Festival’s A Night of Salvation (SOLD OUT)
10 Nov - Liverpool, Quarry
11 Nov - Birmingham, Flapper
12 Nov - Southampton, The Joiners
 
UNDEATH rose to infamy since forming in Rochester, New York, in 2018. From the gory, wild-eyed splatter of the band's embryonic period (Demo '19 and Sentient Autolysis) to the fervent fan and press acclaim of debut Lesions of a Different Kind (2020), the Billboard Chart-topping successor It's Time...To Rise from the Grave (2022) & most recently More Insane (2024).
 
Previous album It's Time... To Rise from the Grave caught a wave of acclaim on The Needle Drop's YouTube channel, earned Best New Music from Pitchfork, and, most impressively, rocketed to the top of Decibel Magazine's Top 40 Albums of 2022, along with a coveted cover feature.
 
The Rochesterians' mastery of the extremely extreme is no mean feat. They've logged over 250 shows to date (sharing the stage with Exodus, The Black Dahlia Murder, Suffocation, et al.), played festivals in the U.S. (Decibel Metal & Beer Fest, Milwaukee Metalfest), Denmark (Copenhell), the Netherlands (Into the Grave), the U.K. (Download, Damnation), and Beam even has a Dunable Guitars signature model, the 'Skeletonizer.'

thrown release new single 'unwanted'

Photo Credit: Arising Empire

Swedish heavyweights thrown return with their brand new single ‘unwanted’, the latest track from their highly anticipated second album, UNWANTED, out 6th November via Arising Empire.

Listen to the new single here: https://arisingempire.com/unwanted 

Pre-order the new album here: https://arisingempire.com/thrown

Built around massive riffs, punishing grooves and a chorus that burrows straight into your skull, ‘unwanted’ captures everything that has made thrown such a standout name within the new generation of heavy music. Relentless yet addictive, brutally direct yet impossible to shake, the track once again proves the band’s ability to deliver maximum impact without wasting a single second.

‘unwanted’ follows previously released singles ‘split’, ‘rehearsed’ and ‘critic’, offering another glimpse of an album that sees thrown sharpening the formula that has taken them from underground newcomers to one of the most talked-about names in contemporary heavy music.

Formed in Sweden in 2021, thrown have built their reputation on brutally concise songs, crushing production and an instinctive understanding of what makes heavy music connect. Their sound pulls together hardcore aggression, metalcore weight and nu metal groove, delivered with an intensity that translates just as powerfully from headphones to a packed room.

The scale of that connection is difficult to ignore. Their 2022 debut EP EXTENDED PAIN surpassed 50 million streams across its five tracks and spent almost a year in Spotify’s Global Metal Top 200. Their 2024 debut album EXCESSIVE GUILT pushed the band onto an even bigger international stage, while thrown have since passed 1.5 million monthly Spotify listeners and amassed well over 100 million streams worldwide.

Their rise has been equally rapid in the live arena. thrown have toured extensively across North America, Europe and Australia alongside Knocked Loose, Fit For A King, Counterparts, While She Sleeps and Wage War, steadily converting their streaming audience into an increasingly formidable live following.

That momentum has also been recognised by the wider heavy music community. thrown took home Best Breakthrough Live Artist at the Heavy Music Awards in 2024, before EXCESSIVE GUILT won Best Breakthrough Album at the 2025 awards.

At the centre of thrown are Marcus Lundqvist on vocals, Johan Liljeblad and Andreas Malm on guitars, and drummer and producer Buster Odeholm. Together, the Swedish four-piece have created something instantly identifiable: short, devastating songs, massive production, unforgettable hooks and a level of intensity that has made thrown impossible to ignore.

Now, with UNWANTED just weeks away, thrown are showing no signs of slowing down.

Hypno5e reveal haunting title track 'Trame Noire'

Photo Credit: Pelagic Records 

French cinematic metal visionaries Hypno5e return with 'Trame Noire', the haunting title track from their forthcoming seventh album Trame Noire, set for release on 6th November via Pelagic Records. 

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/gL6zTPezRiE

Stream and pre-order here: https://orcd.co/hypno5e

Directed by Hypno5e mastermind Emmanuel Jessua, the evocative new video mirrors the album’s exploration of memory, loss, dreams and the ghosts of the past, bringing its nocturnal world vividly to life.

On the new single and video, the band comment:  "With 'Trame Noire', the title track of our new album, I wanted to extend into images the themes that run through my music: memory, loss, dreams and the ghosts of the past.

"I directed the video myself, working with models, collages, drawings and various forms of superimposition. The journey through these shifting spaces, and the apparitions that inhabit them, are fragments of the character’s memories, condemned to wander through this world. He is confronted with the traces of what he has lived through, but also with his own image, which returns like another ghost.

"Memory becomes a material that repeats, distorts and endlessly resurfaces. A cycle from which there is no escape, like an intimate curse, where the past always finds its way back into the present.”


Since 2003, Hypno5e forged a singular path through progressive heavy music, combining crushing riffs with avant-garde experimentation, post-rock, immersive samples and Latin American influences to create their own distinctive brand of cinematic metal. Across six acclaimed albums, they have built a world that is as atmospheric and disorientating as it is heavy. Now, with Trame Noire, they enter their next chapter.

Named after the French term for ‘dark infrastructure’, urban architecture designed to preserve the darkness of night for nocturnal species, Trame Noire unfolds over the course of a single night. Its protagonist is forced to confront buried trauma as every insect, flap of a wing and shift in temperature triggers fragments of long forgotten memories.

The album arrives alongside a celebration of Hypno5e’s more than two decades of existence, a complete 13LP discography box set, featuring Trame Noire alongside Sheol (2023), A Distant Dark Source (2019), Alba (2018), Shores of the Abstract Line (2016), Acid Mist Tomorrow (2012) and debut album Des Deux L’une Est L’autre (2007), which will appear on vinyl for the first time.

Album opener ‘Lost Fires’ rises from lonely keys to a section driven by Jessua’s lush vocals, followed by hulking guitars. ‘Falmer’ offers some of the sweetest and hardest moments of Hypno5e’s career: a hypnotic detour evokes the prime of Pink Floyd, then crashes into a metallic thunder that sounds like Gojira gone black metal. ‘Molecular Angel’ channels old-school prog, drums clamouring beneath gorgeous singing and ambient instruments, and ‘Bare Bones’ is a guitar-powered attack, incorporating wild leads and hammering thuds. The 10-minute title track is a suitably dynamic finale, but it remains consistent in its utter, bittersweet beauty.

Trame Noire was approached quite differently to their previous work, opting for a more organic sound. The band limited their use of samples to reflect the lyrics’ focus on one voice and one character. Plus, they used a warmer, looser style of production: less traditionally tech-metal, more inspired by the masterpieces of 70s psychedelic rock.

Even the artwork – painted by Emmanuel’s father, co-lyricist and frequent collaborator Thierry Jessua – is a raw, unrefined sketch, more human than what was seen on past covers. “This time I wanted to discover another language,” Emmanuel commented. “Every album should tell its story differently. I never want Hypno5e to become predictable.”

All this evolution also reflects the fact that Trame Noire was the first album to be made from start to finish with Hypno5e’s current lineup, rounded out by co-guitarist Jonathan Maurois, bassist Charles Villanueva and drummer Pierre Rettien.

“The new lineup brings different atmospheres,” Emmanuel continues. “It doesn’t mean that Hypno5e is going to be this way forever now, but I think there was a more direct and free way of composing. Everybody had more of a say on the decisions and the structures we put on the album.”

Trame Noire is another bold statement in a career defined by non-conformity. Shorter, warmer and presented in a totally different way to previous works, it ensures that Hypno5e remain one of one, even after more than two decades.

MAVIS return with powerful new single 'Safe Place'

Stuttgart modern metalcore outfit MAVIS return with their brand new single 'Safe Place', delivering another powerful step forward for one of Germany’s most promising emerging heavy acts.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/go7pUqm4lyE

Built on crushing riffs, atmospheric depth and an emotionally charged vocal performance, 'Safe Place' captures the tension between isolation and connection. The track explores the walls we build to protect ourselves from the outside world and the unsettling moment when someone manages to break through them. At its core lies the realization that being truly understood can feel equally comforting and dangerous, especially when that understanding comes from someone carrying fractures of their own.

Lines such as “Are we really broken / Or just going round the bend” sit at the heart of the song, questioning whether the damage we see in ourselves is really something that needs to be fixed. As the narrator recognises his own struggles reflected in another person, vulnerability slowly becomes a source of connection rather than weakness.

Musically, 'Safe Place' brings together the qualities that continue to define MAVIS: uncompromising heaviness, cinematic atmosphere, infectious melodies and raw emotion. Massive guitars and hard-hitting passages collide with an immediate chorus, while vocalist Phil Donay moves between intensity and vulnerability to give the track its emotional weight. The result feels both deeply personal and built for the live stage.

Formed in Stuttgart in 2019, MAVIS have steadily established themselves as an exciting name within Germany’s modern metalcore scene. Following their signing with Arising Empire in 2023, the band released their acclaimed debut album Grief Is No Ally, a record that showcased their ability to combine devastating breakdowns, soaring melodies, atmospheric electronics and deeply personal songwriting. Since then, their momentum has carried them through packed shows across Germany and onto major stages including Summer Breeze Open Air, while subsequent releases have continued to sharpen and expand their sound.

With 'Safe Place', MAVIS push that evolution further. Rather than simply searching for shelter from the chaos outside, the song finds safety in another person who understands that chaos from within. The repeated confession “Somehow I let you in” becomes the turning point: a moment where control gives way to trust and isolation gives way to connection.

Heavy, vulnerable and unmistakably MAVIS, 'Safe Place' captures a band growing increasingly confident in their identity while refusing to sacrifice the emotional honesty at the core of their music.

Neovise follow acclaimed debut single 'Gravity' with emotional new single 'Lifeline'

Following the strong first impression made by their debut single 'Gravity', German newcomers Neovise return with their second single 'Lifeline'.

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/JrZaY1ZqQvE

While 'Gravity' introduced the band’s emotionally charged take on modern heavy music, 'Lifeline' pushes that identity further into darker, heavier and even more vulnerable territory. Where 'Gravity' was about the person who holds your life in orbit, 'Lifeline' explores what happens when that person is suddenly gone. Together, the two songs establish the emotional ground Neovise write from: love and fear.

'Lifeline' is not a song about giving up. At its core, it is about wanting to stay without knowing how. It captures the difficult space between having already made the decision to keep going and still searching for the strength to do so. A plea for a reason to stay runs through the track, turning its darkness into an ode to living rather than leaving. That conflict also manifests itself through self-sabotage. 

Daniel explains: “This is the most honest we've been. 'Lifeline' is that moment where you've run out of strength and the only thing left is to say it out loud: I need someone to pull me out. It’s the bravest thing you can do.”

Musically, Neovise translate that emotional tension into a dynamic collision of crushing heaviness, atmosphere and carefully placed moments of restraint. Instead of relying purely on impact, the band deliberately leave room for silence and vulnerability, allowing the quieter sections to hit just as hard as the song’s explosive peaks.
