JOINING THE BAND FOR THE HEAVIEST TOUR OF THE NEW YEAR ARE KUBLAI KHAN TX, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY AND SANGUISUGABOGG

ARTIST PRE-SALES BEGUN

GENERAL ON-SALE THIS FRIDAY AT 10 A.M. LOCAL TIME

Nov. 18, 2025 – RICHMOND, Va. – Lamb of God return to the road this March for what promises to be the heaviest tour of 2026, with the North American trek, produced by Live Nation, featuring support from Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg.

Tickets and VIP packages will be available at Lamb-of-god.com/tour.

“We are beyond thrilled to announce the loudest, proudest, floor shakin’-est, earth quakin’-est, ear-splittin’-est, mosh pittin’-est, undiluted, undisputed HEAVIEST tour of the whole damn year,” Mark Morton declares. “Is this the largest collection of RIFFS ever assembled under one roof? It would seem so. Lamb of God, Kublai Khan TX, Fit For An Autopsy, and Sanguisugabogg. Do not miss this shit.”

The tour news follows the recent release of “Sepsis,” the band’s first new original song since 2022’s Omens, and now the #1 song on the U.S. metal radio charts. Produced by longtime collaborator Josh Wilbur, the track celebrates the Richmond underground and the bands Lamb of God performed alongside during their early years. The band also shared a live video for “Sepsis,” capturing the electrifying live debut of the song at Aftershock Festival.

Consequence named the three-and-a-half minute track its “heavy song of the week,” describing the single as “crushing” while Revolver spotlighted “Sepsis,” calling it a “rock-solid addition to their ever-crushing canon.”

DEATH DEALER Announce New Album Reign Of Steel | Unleash High-Octane Single & Video “Blast The Highway”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on November 18, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Heavy metal titans DEATH DEALER are gearing up for a new chapter in their steel-forged legacy with the announcement of their upcoming full-length album Reign Of Steel, set for release on January 23, 2026 via Massacre Records. Packed with towering vocals, precision riffing, and a renewed sense of power, the album captures the band at their most focused and explosive.

Forged over five years of intense writing, recording, and relentless refinement, Reign Of Steel marks the band’s most ambitious, powerful and razor-sharp chapter to date. Built on the unshakable trio of Sean Peck, Ross “The Boss” Friedman, and Stu Marshall, and elevated by the crushing rhythm section of Mike LePond and Steve Bolognese. The album delivers ten tracks of uncompromising heavy metal fury, precision engineered for maximum impact.

To mark the beginning of this new era, DEATH DEALER unleash their brand-new single and video “Blast The Highway, a full-throttle anthem that merges the band’s signature intensity with an adrenaline-charged, cinematic sense of scale. Blazing guitars, unstoppable hooks, and a defiant spirit make the track a standout moment on Reign Of Steel.

Watch “Blast The Highway”HERE: https://youtu.be/pflbJK3IPyU

Stream/Purchase the song HERE: https://save-it.cc/massacre/blast-the-highway

The band comments: “Reign Of Steel represents the pinnacle of Death Dealer. The album is deep, intense and the result of thousands of hours making sure every song is the very best it can be.”

Ross The Boss adds: 
“Reign Of Steel is a crushing piece of metal delivered by a killer band.”

Sean Peck elaborates:
“We wrote this album while locked down in a dystopian reality. It gave us the focus to create what may be our finest achievement yet.”

Stu Marshall concludes: “We spent countless hours crafting this album. It may even contain the longest continuous high scream ever recorded…”

From a production standpoint, Reign Of Steel comes to life under the co-production of Stuart Marshall and Sean Peck, whose combined vision shaped the album’s aggressive precision and melodic grandeur. The sonic assault is further sharpened by Chris Themelco, who handled mixing and mastering at Monolith Studios, giving the record its massive, high-impact sound.

Visually, the album is defined by the striking artwork of Dusan Markovic, with additional design contributions from Aley Yarborough, completing an aesthetic as powerful as the music itself.

Track listing:
1. Assemble
2. Devil’s Triangle
3. Riding On The Wings
4. Bloodbath
5. Raging Wild And Free
6. Blast The Highway
7. Compelled
8. Dragon Of Algorath
9. Sleeping Prophet
10. Reign Of The Night

Reign Of Steel will be available as a CD Digipak and limited Vinyl LP. Pre-orders will start soon.

Zurich’s Metalcore Titans FUELED BY FEAR Announce Third Single “Godmade” From Upcoming EP Ordinary Evil

FUELED BY FEAR, the Zürich-based metalcore outfit, continue their momentum with “Godmade“, the third single from their upcoming EP Ordinary Evil (out January 30, 2026).

Following September’s “Suffer” and October’s “Edge of Sanity” (stream on https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/artist/6trMH3h5QEeV4RkGJUTKkH), “Godmade” marks the midpoint of a five-month release campaign building toward the full EP launch.

The band has announced an ambitious visual component to the campaign: three music videos will accompany the EP, with “Godmade” set to receive cinematic treatment in March 2026. “Godmade” drops on November 28th, 2025 on all streaming platforms.

The complete Ordinary Evil EP comes out on January 30th, 2026. With their new EP, Fueled By Fear deliver their most mature and uncompromising work to date. The five tracks move between dark groove steamrollers and melodically dense anthems – harder, more powerful and  more forceful than all previous productions.

The band has sharpened their sound: hardness meets groove, tempo meets aggression, while melodic passages merge with modern pressure. The result is songs with enormous chorus quality and real sing along potential – dark, but irresistibly catchy.

BAND BIO:
FUELED BY FEAR from Zurich have been combining the intensity of metalcore with the melodic depth of melodic death metal since 2011. The band manages to merge melodic passages with grooving rhythms into a sound that can both strike brutally and touch emotionally.

Support performances for In Flames, Sepultura and even Pantera underscore their international relevance. Their debut Two By Eight reached #5 on the Swedish rock charts and #22 in Switzerland.
Fueled By Fear stands for authentic metal without filters!

Line-up:
Vocals: Marco Böhlen
Guitar: Manuel Elber
Guitar: Daniel Zopfi
Bass: Josh De Souza
Drums: Mauro Galasso

For Fans Of:  Heaven Shall Burn, In Flames, Caliban, Darkest Hour, At the Gates, The Haunted, Bleed From Within
