Spanish Thrashers HOLYCIDE have launched a killer animated video as a 3rd advance single from their third album, Towards Idiocracy which will be released on June 6th (International Day of Slayer) through Xtreem Music.
HOLYCIDE vocalist Dave Rotten comments on the song: “The lyrics of this song talk about the current era of fake news. When we don’t like some truth, we cover it with fake news, creating another fake news with this, and sometimes, we know positively that something is fake news, but even so, we settle for giving it credibility, simply because it agrees with our ideology, in what it seems that anything goes. We have become accustomed to living with lies and hoaxes, which are the new truth… making the infamous Göbbels right: “A lie repeated a thousand times becomes a truth.”
You can also check out their two previous advance singles:
Xtreem Music will release Towards Idiocracy on CD, digital, vinyl, and cassette formats on June 6. Pre-order the album at: xtreemmusic.bandcamp.com.

Formed 20 years ago by veterans of Spain’s extreme metal community, HOLYCIDE is best described with four simple words – Mother Fucking Thrash Metal. For fans of Dark Angel, Morbid Saint, Atrophy, D.R.I., Infernäl Mäjesty, Exodus, Sepultura (Beneath / Arise), and Vio-Lence.

“The title is a question – is this how it ends? How it all goes down; culture, language, history, society, humanity… who knows?,” considers vocalist A. A. Nemtheanga. “Regardless of who you are or were, you get one chance at all of this, and it’s asking, is this the end of your town, state, nation? Myths, traditions, relationships…?, and I suppose it asks the question, who reacts, who rebels, how does it end now for them?”

Following the recent, previously released single, entitled “Wings of Twilight”, featuring a guest performance of AD INFINITUM singer Melissa Bonny, Finland’s melodic metal frontrunners ARION are now sharing their brand new and powerful track “Wildfire”!
After skyrocketing out of nowhere to the public eye as teenagers with the Finnish Eurovision qualification program UMK and now three critically acclaimed studio albums under their belt, ARION seem to be gearing up for a new full-length, to be released in the hopefully not so distant future.
Wildfire” was written by ARION guitarist Iivo Kaipainen, and was produced by Matias Kupiainen (Stratovarius). Listen to the song, out now on all digital providers at: https://arion.bfan.link/wildfire
Says livo about the new track: “Wildfire, the first song I wrote for the new album is also one of my favorites from the new album. The frighteningly infectious main riff with an equally catchy chorus, which is what everybody listening to the song points out, are the building blocks for a song that’s as metal as metal can be. Wildfire made its live debut at the world-renowned 70,000 tons of metal cruise proving to be exactly the most fun and the most insane live song we can think of!”
The band’s latest video for “Wings of Twilight” is streaming HERE:
Since their formation in 2011, ARION stood out due to their incredible musicianship and songwriting craft. After their headstart, they released three studio albums which gained impressive streaming numbers and toured with bands like Dream Theater, Gloryhammer, Battle Beast and Sonata Arctica to name just a few.

We are more than proud to present our new single and music video “1589”, which tells the story of Peter Stump, who lived near Cologne, Germany in the 16th century and is known today as the “Werewolf of Bedburg”.

Embrace the enigmatic allure of 70’s rock with OCCULT WITCHES‘ new single, “Faustian Bargain,” released today under the esteemed Black Throne Productions. This marks the second single from their upcoming album, Sorrows Pyre, due out July 26th via Black Throne Productions.
“Faustian Bargain” explores the dangers of an all too familiar type of deal. “This song is about almost making a deal with Satan and he ain’t fucking patient. Won’t be thanking him for this one,” reveals the band.
OCCULT WITCHES has quickly risen through the ranks, defining a unique space within the rock genre with their captivating blend of music and storytelling. Their songs, rich in narrative and emotion, draw on elements of darkness, witchcraft, and existential struggle, resonating with a wide range of listeners.
The band’s journey from Rimouski, QC, to Hamilton, ON, on their first tour last summer has only solidified their presence in the music scene. With plans for mini-tours this summer, OCCULT WITCHES is poised to reach new heights and captivate more audiences with their powerful performances and profound lyrical themes.
OCCULT WITCHES invites listeners to embark on this dark yet enlightening journey through their music. Stay tuned for more from OCCULT WITCHES as they continue to explore the depths of the human condition and the eternal dance between light and darkness.
Band leader Marta Gabriel comments: “I found the “The Silver Key”, that unlocks the gates of space and time. It was once owned by Randolph Carter, but it’s now in my possession, and helped me to write songs for the new CRYSTAL VIPER album! Our second single is one of the most epic tracks on the album, and you can clearly hear in it echoes of our heroes such as Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin era BLACK SABBATH or even MANOWAR. The video for this song includes footage from the studio, and which we filmed at last year’s Full Metal Cruise festival, where we played 3 shows”
Gods Of Thunder Of Wind And Of Rain (5:22) – CD bonus track
Scream! (2:33) – LP bonus track
The album will be promoted on European headlining tour, on which CRYSTAL VIPER will be joined by the US heavy metal act SAVAGE MASTER.

Ten years SERIOUS BLACK, ten years of melodic power metal, with the license to create anthems! Since their founding in 2014 the band enthuses their fans not only with five studio albums to date (while their last offering, “Vengeance Is Mine”, charted at a phenomenal #16 in Germany), but also at frenetically acclaimed concerts and festival appearances around the globe.
To celebrate their decadal birthday in glorious style, SERIOUS BLACK have announced the release of a brand new album, entitled “Rise Of Akhenaton”, to arrive on September 27, 2024 via AFM Records! The album pre-sale has just started at https://seriousblack.bfan.link/rise-of-akhenaton
At the same time, the band will be on tour throughout Europe, with Sonata Arctica and Firewind. To shorten your wait, SERIOUS BLACK will unleash three singles, including video clips, starting today with the uptempo track “Metalized”. With its powerful guitar riffing, the dynamic of drum and bass and the hymn like catchy tunes this song unites all the band’s excellences!
Band mastermind Mario Lochert comments: “10 years of Serious Black! 10 years was the intro of Akhenaton the first track which blasted like a rolling thunder through the loudspeakers at over 200 concerts worldwide . Now it’s time to bring Akhenaton and his army to life “Rise of Akhenaton” the album. So what would be better to start the journey into the album with a song, that reflects the lifestyle, heart and love to the music of every heavy metal fan – aren’t we all a little “Metalized”?”
Southern California metalcore titans BLEEDING THROUGH have made their awaited return with a brand new single today, aptly titled “Our Brand Is Chaos.” The ruthless new track is their first taste of something the band is currently brewing behind studio doors.
Commenting on the single, lead vocalist Brandan Schieppati states: “Our Brand Is Chaos is a statement. This is about our unrivaled support by our fans, friends and families. Together we are imperfectly perfect, pure chaos and all love. Let this be our anthem through dark time. Fuck with us and find out.“
BLEEDING THROUGH Tour Date: June 15 – Boston, MA – Big Night Live (w/Unearth)
About BLEEDING THROUGH:
Destined for great achievement ever since their formation in 1999, Bleeding Through’s career has been a lengthy and star-studded one, dedicated to delivering a devastating, yet melodic and entrancing, infusion of metal and hardcore to fans worldwide. But, above all else, the band has stayed true to themselves. A testament to their momentous impact on the genre, the quintet has influenced several generations of artists since their inception and will no doubt continue to inspire fans and artists for many years to come.
Having already triumphantly reclaimed the spotlight after their biggest collective hurdle – the 2014 hiatus which many anticipated would be the end of the band’s career as a cohesive unit – Orange County quintet, Brandan Schieppati (vocals), Derek Youngsma (drums), Marta Peterson (keyboards), BrianLeppke (guitar), and Ryan Wombacher (bass), clearly know what it takes for a successful resurgence.
With five Top 50 US charting records, 100 million catalog streams, over 400k physical album sales, and tours with Slipknot, Motionless In White, Lamb of God, and Unearth under their belts, there’s no arguing with the Bleeding Through’s methods and widespread appeal.
Music’s prodigal sons have returned to retake their throne with the release of their latest single ‘Our Brand is Chaos’, and Bleeding Through have no intention of crowning a successor just yet.

You will be the judge, let the music begin from early August to early October… The arena awaits!!”
