BulletBoys, Mick Box and Bob Daisley “Takin’ It To The Streets” – A Classic Rock Gem Reimagined!

Posted in classic rock, classic rock bands, Hard Rock, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 29, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

BulletBoys, Mick Box and Bob Daisley have collaborated on covering the Classic Rock gem “Takin’ It To The Streets”. This cover song has been newly released via Cleopatra. Originally recorded and released by The Doobie Brothers back in 1976, “Takin It To The Streets” is the title track from The Doobie Brothers’ sixth studio album.

My love for Classic Rock knows no boundaries and once I discovered this cover version on Spotify I was all ears and grinning. Take into account my deep respect and loyalty to guitarist Mick Box and bassist Bob Daisley and I’m instantly transported into a 1970s and 80s Rockin’ daze!

BulletBoys vocalist Marq Torien shows off his smooth and soulful vocals brilliantly on this cover; a contrast from his patented Hard Rock and Heavy Metal pipes he’s famously known for. Just hearing these music legends jamming on “Takin’ It To The Streets” has me yearning (hopefully) for more surprises to come from them!

  • Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Michael McDonald wrote and originally sung the hit single “Takin It To The Streets”.
  • Mick Box is world famous as the lead guitarist and songwriter of Uriah Heep, going back to their founding.
  • Bob Daisley is a legendary bassist and songwriter. He has been a member of Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne’s Blizzard Of Ozz, and Uriah Heep, to name a few.

Thank you for reading this post and stay safe out there! – Stone

Heavy Metal Titans GRAVE DIGGER  Unleash Brand New Song “Bark to Hell”!

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 28, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

After the chart-smashing success of their latest album, Bone Collector, followed by an extensive touring schedule, German iconic heavy metal force Grave Digger returns with a brand new, stand-alone banger that bites hard and howls louder! “Bark to Hell”, the band’s latest single, is a fiery descent into chaos, crowned by the king of torment himself.

Obey the call… or be dragged under, Grave Digger’s new track is out now on all digital services at this location: https://gravedigger.rpm.link/bthPR

Watch “Bark to Hell” (Official Audio) HERE

Grave Digger frontman Chris Boltendahl comments: 
 “Hey folks, we’re back! And we’ve brought you our brand-new single: “Bark to Hell”! For us, this track is the final exclamation mark to close out our celebrated Bone Collector session with a bang. With “Bark to Hell,” we’ve packed in everything that defines Grave Digger, raw energy, dark atmosphere, and no-compromise power.

Hellish guitar riffs, pounding drums, and my unmistakable vocals are driving this beast forward. This one’s a true headbanger, no playlist should be without it!
But let me make one thing clear: this isn’t a farewell. “Bark to Hell” is a triumphant afterburner, dark, loud, and gripping to the very last note. To all our die-hard fans: this one’s for you. Grave Digger still bites – hard.”

This year does not only see German iconic metal institution Grave Digger celebrate its 45th anniversary, but also their 23rd, chart success album Bone Collector, released in January 2025 via ROAR here).

Founded in 1980 in Gladbeck, they set out to conquer the world; who would have thought that 45 years later Grave Digger would be one of the most important, consistent and influential metal bands from Germany. With the release of their ground-breaking debut Heavy Metal Breakdown in 1984, an unprecedented career began that will find its logical continuation more than four decades later with their latest, new masterpiece Bone Collector, an album that sees the band going back to their old school roots.

New Jersey Thrashers, CONDITION CRITICAL, Reveal Album Details For Degeneration Chamber

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on June 27, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

New Jersey Thrash Metal quartet, Condition Critical, are set to release their third full-length album (and first since 2016’s Operational Hazard). Their most intense and complete effort to date, Degeneration Chamber will be released on September 5th.

A music video for the album’s first single, “Cryonic Intestinal Preservation,” is available at: youtu.be/dl3Oj-GUpHI

Unapologetically true to their roots, the new album pushes the band’s sound to new extremes. It is heavier, faster, slower, and more technically unrelenting. Every track is sharpened for maximum impact, delivering a refined yet feral evolution of their signature thrash assault.

This is not just another record, it’s the definitive Condition Critical statement: uncompromising, chaotic, and forged in pure aggression.

Pre-order: indiemerchstore.com/collections/condition-critical

FFO: Slayer, Demolition Hammer, Vio-lence, Kreator, Exodus, Devastation and Pestilence.

Track Listing:

  1. Wretched Aggression
  2. Deconstructive Horrors
  3. Cranial Dissolution
  4. Hydroponic Mutation
  5. Postmortal Simulation
  6. Psychological Epidemic
  7. Incubation Disposal
  8. Cryonic Intestinal Preservation
  9. Excarnation

Credits:

Mixed & Mastered by Mike Low.
Guitars & Bass engineered by Tony Barhoum.
Drums engineered by James Suprenant & Big Goon Studios.
Vocals engineered by Apollo.
Artwork by Andrei Bouzikov.
CD Layout design by Tom Martin.
All music written and produced by Condition Critical.

Line-Up:

Ryan Taylor – Vocals / Guitar
Tony Barhoum – Lead Guitar
Mike Dreher – Bass
Ryan Donato – Drums

BIO:

Formed in 2010, Condition Critical delivers high-intensity, no-bullshit thrash metal in the tradition of the genre’s most violent pioneers. Described as “a literal war of sound that attacks you with deadly perfection” (New Wave of Thrash Zine), they’ve built a reputation on relentless riffage, vicious stage presence, and tours across the U.S., Europe, and Russia.

They’ve shared stages with notable acts such as Obituary, Demolition Hammer, Napalm Death, Morbid Saint, Revocation, and Havok.

** SIX FEET UNDER only

SIX FEET UNDER continues to tour in support of their fourteenth studio album, Killing For Revenge, released last year via Metal Blade Records!

A gnarly beast of a record that’s not for the faint-hearted, Killing For Revenge dishes up nightmare-inducing imagery courtesy of Barnes via the vocalist’s trademark guttural vocals. Both the album title and darkly detailed red-hued album cover by artist Vince Locke are perfect containers for the brutality within.

Forged as a side project for Barnes during his final years with the band that he co-founded, Cannibal Corpse, SIX FEET UNDER became the frontman’s sole focus in 1995, coinciding with the release of their debut, Haunted. Only Barnes remains from SIX FEET UNDER’s original incarnation, but the quality has remained remarkably consistent. The current lineup of Barnes, guitarists Jack Owen (ex-Cannibal Corpse) and Ray Suhy, bassist Jeff Hughell, and drummer Marco Pitruzzella makes for a devastating unit.

BRAY ROAD Launch Video for New Single “Wasted Mutiny”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Milwaukee thrash metal powerhouse, BRAY ROAD returns with “Wasted Mutiny“, the second single from their highly anticipated (currently untitled) upcoming album.

A follow-up to 2024’s “Burn”, this new song brings the aggression to a new level, fusing death-laden brutality, hardcore urgency, and the undeniable groove of classic thrash. Raw and relentless, “Wasted Mutiny” is a pummeling, in-your-face anthem of resistance and rebellion.

“Lyrically, the song delivers a defiant message: reject the manipulation of a broken political system and reclaim your autonomy,” comments the band. “It’s a battle cry for free thinkers and a warning to those who blindly follow.”

Ghost Cult Magazine presents the exclusive premiere of the lyric video for “Wasted Mutiny.” Watch the video at this location.

Stream more from BRAY ROAD on Spotify and Apple Music.

The band will appear at two US festivals this summer, the NYDM Annual in West Chicago, IL, and the Blades of Steel Metalfest in Madison, WI. Dates as details are as follows:

August 8 – 9: NYDM Annual @ WC Social Club – West Chicago, IL

August 28 – 30: Blades of Steel Metalfest @ Crucible Madison – Madison, WI

Bray Road:
Nino Anthony – Vocals/Guitars
Peter Kissane – Drums
David Moran – Bass

BRAY ROAD derives its name from an actual road in Elkhorn, WI, where the popular cryptozoological werewolf-like creature, the Beast of Bray Road, is said to stalk the area.

The band’s debut full-length recording (recorded in 2015 via Cavern Entertainment), Feast Upon the Helpless, was released in the Spring of 2017.

BRAY ROAD’s follow-up 5-song E.P. entitled Formation was released in early 2019 and highlighted the band’s direction, featuring a more aggressive and heavy approach across the board, while still maintaining the Thrash / Groove Metal elements that complemented the BRAY ROAD sonic landscape.

BRAY ROAD‘s latest release “Focused.Fierce.Relentless…” 2023, highlights the band’s current musical direction.

BRAY ROAD has shared the stage with and opened for International touring acts such as Testament, Raven, Jungle Rot and the legendary Grim Reaper, Battlecross, Morbid Saint, Deceased, Embalmer, N.S.O.A. RAVEN, Whiplash, Prong, DRI, TOXXIC, Morta Skuld, Ross The Boss, and many regional touring acts, and continue to storm the local and regional scene with some of the best bands and venues around.

BETRAYME – Mexican Death Metal Force Release New Single “Unnamed”

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Mexican death metal force BETRAYME return with a vengeance with their brand new single “Unnamed”, out now via Lethal Scissor Records. This marks the band’s first original release since their EP Nihil Obstat and it showcases them at the peak of their creative power.

With “Unnamed”, BETRAYME deliver a furious yet calculated assault, a track that highlights their trademark blend of relentless speed, surgical precision and crushing groove. The band continues to refine a sound that is both technically elaborate and unapologetically heavy, reaffirming their position in the modern death metal landscape.

This new single is not just a return, but a clear statement of intent: BETRAYME are here to push their limits and elevate their craft to new heights.

Stream “Unnamed” HERE.

The band commented:

“‘Unnamed’ is the first single from our upcoming album. This track is the result of an intense production process that spanned several months, during which we collaborated with two highly skilled producers.
Rubén Sánchez of Urvn Studio (Guanajuato, Mexico) was responsible for editing the recorded tracks, using his expertise to help shape our sound. Meanwhile, acclaimed U.S. producer Mike Low took care of mixing and mastering. Mike has worked with bands such as Inferi, Allegaeon, DÅÅTH, Fallujah, and Shadow of Intent, among others. He currently works as an assistant to Dave Otero and Dan Swanö, further reinforcing his experience, one of the key reasons we were eager to collaborate with him in pursuit of the sound we’ve always envisioned”.

Santiago Zamorategui – Drums
Adib Flores – Guitar

RECORRUPTOR – Michigan Death Metal Crew Unleash “Bearing The Befouled Spawn” Single | Third Album Sorrow Will Drown Us All Releases In July

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news, nu metal with tags , , , , , , , , on June 23, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

RECORRUPTOR have unleashed “Bearing the Befouled Spawn”, the second single from their forthcoming album Sorrow Will Drown Us All, due out July 18th, 2025, via Time To Kill Records.

With this new track, the Michigan based death metal unit doubles down on the crushing weight and surgical precision that define their sound. “Bearing the Befouled Spawn” is a relentless assault – dark and sharpened to a lethal point, showcasing the band’s evolved approach to brutality and atmosphere. Fuelled by blistering riffing and unyielding aggression, the single offers a punishing glimpse into the abyss RECORRUPTOR are prepared to drag listeners through.

Stream “Bearing the Befouled Spawn” now and witness the next chapter in their descent.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/B5Ns1ZQmRQk

Streaming: https://ffm.to/recorruptor-bearing-the-befouled-spawn

The band commented:

“‘Bearing the Befouled Spawn’ is Recorruptor’s sick and twisted tale of a most vile, disgusting birth – a woman forced to birth a vicious, man-eating hellspawn that wreaks havoc upon the unsuspecting public. A conscious, spiteful nod to the current climate of Christian ideologies sending the world into a downwards spiral, so too does this fictitious public face an ultimate doom as a result of their religious beliefs”.

Track-list:

1. Bathe in the Ashes of Heaven
2. Sorrow Will Drown Us All
3. Bearing the Befouled Spawn
4. Within the Vault
5. Urn of Verglas
6. Envenoming
7. An Unnatural Lust
8. Devoured by Centipedes
9. Insidious Rot
10. Putrid Aberration of Malevolent Divinity
11. Death at the Hands of His Image
12. Scourge of Prometheus (Ft. Enrico H. Di Lorenzo of Hideous Divinity)

ENTHEOS released their An End To Everything EP last Fall via Metal Blade Records. “An End To Everything’s title and lyrics are significant on a personal level and depict an era in my life that ended with the death of a close friend because of addiction,” says Crabb. “This person had thrived in life against many odds but ultimately succumbed as a result of their own poor decisions. An End To Everything is about the nature of the darkness of life and the human experience.

“Musically, our goal on this EP was to write five songs that could both stand on their own as singles and be cohesive as a collection. As always, we aimed to incorporate many different musical influences and blend them in a succinct way. Over the span of three months, we worked from the demo stages to completion alongside Mark Lewis (The Black Dahlia Murder, Fallujah, Whitechapel), who co-produced and engineered the EP, to make five tracks that are uniquely ‘ENTHEOS,’ and we are incredibly proud of the result.”

Preview and purchase ENTHEOS’ An End To Everything at metalblade.com/entheos.

LAST RETCH – Canadian Death Metal Upstarts Sign To Time To Kill Records

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 22, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Time To Kill Records is proud to announce the signing of Canadian death metal upstarts LAST RETCH for the release of their second full-length album.

Hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, LAST RETCH have been hard at work crafting a new chapter that promises to command the attention of underground death metal fans worldwide. Blending the bulldozer-like march of war masters Bolt Thrower with the bone-crushing stomp of Cannibal Corpse at their most muscular, the band has forged a sound that’s primed for the chaos of the pit and the raw aggression of the genre’s most punishing traditions.

The new album stands as a testament to LAST RETCH’s dedication to relentless riffing and unflinching heaviness. Details and the first single will be revealed soon, stay tuned!

Line-up:

Finlay Blakelock – Vocals
Matt Fyke – Bass
Spencer Robson – Drums
Derek Brzozowski – Guitar
John Russell – Guitar

Biography:

LAST RETCH first made their mark in early 2021 with a well-received demo that captured their raw, unfiltered sound and quickly drew the attention of underground death metal fans.

In September 2022, LAST RETCH released their debut full-length album, Sadism and Severed Heads” – a savage collection of nine tracks that pushed their sound to new levels of intensity and featured cover artwork by renowned painter Paolo Girardi. Building on this momentum, the band released the Ergotism EP in April 2024, showcasing their evolution with a tighter, even more aggressive sound.

LAST RETCH continues to refine their approach to death metal, never shying away from brutality while adding new layers of depth and atmosphere to their music.

Born of the ashes of Roman Empire, pagan lust for life and philosophical opulence, then demeaned and mortified by the fathers of the one true god. Centuries lasting like the last dream before awakening. PATRISTIC is the soundtrack of the age of quiet chaos between the classic world, paganism and the impending shadow of the cross.

The band’s name and concept comes from Patristics which is the study of the early Christian writers who are designated Church Fathers. The period is generally considered to run from the end of New Testament times or end of the Apostolic Age (c. AD 100) to either AD 451 (the date of the Council of Chalcedon) or to the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.

BEFORE THE DAWN – Finnish Melodic Death Metal Unit Unveils “Stellar Effect” Video/Single

Cold Flare Eternal Full-Length To See Release September 5th Via Reaper Entertainment

Finnish melodic death metal giants BEFORE THE DAWN will release their new studio album, Cold Flare Eternal, on September 5th via Reaper Entertainment.

Today the band unveils latest single, “Stellar Effect,” and its accompanying video. “Stellar Effect” is more than just a single, it’s a haunting anthem for those who walk the line between darkness and light. A sonic journey through sorrow, strength, and self-reflection.

Comments guitarist Tuomas Saukkonen, “‘Stellar Effect’ is a perfect combination of oldschool BEFORE THE DAWN and the band we are in 2025, somber gothic metal influences colliding with melodic death metal grandeur. Also, this song truly underlines the massive range that [vocalist] Paavo [Laapotti] has with his vocals.”

Watch BEFORE THE DAWN’s “Stellar Effect” video HERE. Stream the track HERE. 

Watch BEFORE THE DAWN’s previously released video for “Fatal Design” HERE and “As Above, So Below” HERE.

“To create, one must destroy.” This has long been the guiding mantra of Tuomas Saukkonen, one of Finland’s most prolific and influential metal musicians. Over the past two decades, he has shaped the scene through projects like Wolfheart, Dawn Of Solace, and of course, BEFORE THE DAWN.

Following their critically acclaimed Stormbringers full-length in 2023, Cold Flare Eternal captures the momentum of a band reborn. Recorded once again at guitarist Juho Räihä’s studio, the album brings together crushing heaviness, soaring melodies, and the atmospheric beauty of Finland’s dark landscapes.

With Cold Flare Eternal, BEFORE THE DAWN delivers a masterclass in modern melodic death metal – raw, refined, and deeply resonant; an intense, emotional, and atmospheric journey into the depths of Nordic metal.

Cold Flare Eternal features core art by Gogo Melone (Wolfheart, Insomnium, Xandria, Omnium Gatherum) and will be available on CD, LP, and digital formats.

Find preorders HERE.

Cold Flare Eternal – Track Listing:

1. Initium

2. Fatal Design

3. As Above, So Below

4. Mercury Blood

5. Stellar Effect

6. Flame Eternal

7. Stronghold

8. Destination

9. Shock Wave
