SCHATTENMANN usher in the new year with the release of “Endgegner”, the title track from their upcoming studio album. The song signals a decisive next step for the band and sets the tone for a new chapter in their musical journey.

With “Endgegner” [German for “Final Boss”], SCHATTENMANN present themselves sharper and more focused than ever. The track blends German-language metal with pronounced core elements, driven rhythms, and an unapologetic attitude. Crushing riffs, a powerful groove, and a commanding chorus turn the song into a statement piece that reflects both intensity and confidence.

Listen to “Endgegner” here: https://schattenmann.rpm.link/endgegnersinglePR

As frontman Frank Herzig reveals:
“This song was my ultimate final boss! Never before has a track driven me so crazy, challenged me so much, and demanded so much from me. In the entire history of Schattenmann, there hasn’t been a song that required so many versions and attempts. In the end, I am incredibly proud of it, especially because the path to the finished song was so rocky and because it offers so much both musically and lyrically. It grabs you immediately and doesn’t let go until the very end: hard, loud, emotional.”

MY INNER CHAOS Release New Single + Official Music Video “My Chaos”

Posted in industrial metal, industrial metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on January 10, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

With this second release, the band continues its artistic journey into the darkest and most unsettling depths of industrial metal, asserting a powerful, recognizable sound identity charged with emotional tension. My Chaos is both a personal and musical manifesto, a raw exploration of the inner turmoil that resides within the human condition.

The magnetic voice of Bia Redchaos leads the listener through a spiral of fragility and strength, control and chaos, carried by a sharp, dark, and visceral sound. Every sonic passage is sculpted to convey urgency, conflict, but also awareness and determination.

Drawing influence from acts like 3Teeth, Author & Punisher, and Infected Rain, My Inner Chaos shape a distinct musical language where the intensity of riffs and the hardness of the sound blend with deep sensitivity and a cohesive artistic vision.

Listen to My Chaos on Spotify and all major digital platforms, watch the official video on YouTube at: https://youtu.be/LzO71BT8gvc?si=yrMunXfMx7EWRTp-

EXHUMED: New Album, Red Asphalt, To Drop February 20th On Relapse Records | “Unsafe At Any Speed” Video/Single Now Playing, Preorders Available + Live Dates Announced! 

Posted in gore metal, grindcore, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on January 9, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

EXHUMED will hit the blood-soaked road with their new album, Red Asphalt, set for release on February 20th via Relapse Records.  

The masters of gore metal rev up and prepare for one of 2026’s most frenetic, unhinged slabs of sonic obliteration with a new video for lead single, “Unsafe At Any Speed.”

“We’re very stoked to be back in your earholes with Red Asphalt. Our recent albums have taken you with us through the graveyards and operating theaters of 19th century Scotland, the horror aisles of the video rental stores of our youths, and through the band’s history itself,” notes EXHUMED mastermind Matt Harvey. “This time around, we’re inviting you to accompany us to a place that we spend a disproportionate amount of our lives, someplace familiar yet far more dangerous than it feels, a place that can take you to the hospital or the grave in more ways than you can imagine: the American roadway.”

Watch EXHUMED’s “Unsafe At Any Speed” video HERE. Stream/presave the track HERE.

Preorder Red Asphalt on LP/CD/CS/streaming via Relapse.com HERE. 

The latest wrong turn from the driving force of gore metal, EXHUMED, Red Asphalt crashes the band’s hook-laden, high-speed deathgrind into whiplash-inducing grooves and dangerous musical curves. Red Asphalt is a love letter to the road – horrific accidents, vehicular homicide, defective cars, gore-filled instructional videos, zombified biker gangs, and more.

True to the band’s spirit, Red Asphalt drags the listener through a whirlwind of riffy madness. Tracks like the aptly titled “Unsafe At Any Speed,” the horrifying “Shovelhead,” and “The Iron Graveyard” ooze with sleaze and groove while retaining all of the high-octane, full-throttle, white-knuckle madness you’ve come to demand from EXHUMED. Take the album for a spin and get your kicks on Route 666!

Red Asphalt – Track Listing:

1. Unsafe At Any Speed

2. Red Asphalt

3. Shock Trauma

4. Shovelhead

5. The Iron Graveyard

6. Crawling From the Wreckage

7. Signal Thirty

8. Death On Four Wheels

9. Symphorophilia

10 The Fumes

EXHUMED will take Red Asphalt on the road throughout 2026 starting with the US from February 19th through March 21st with Oxygen Destroyer and No/Más! Following a quick pit stop, EXHUMED returns to Europe/UK this Spring with labelmates Gruesome from April 4th through May 2nd. Tickets are on sale now.

About:

Since its inception in 2009 (with a brief hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), West Metal Entertainment and Armstrong MetalFest have championed hundreds of local bands while welcoming renowned international acts to the quiet town of Armstrong, British Columbia.

Armstrong MetalFest has hosted legendary headliners like Kataklysm, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Nekrogoblikon, Origin, Warbringer, Fallujah, Striker, and Beyond Creation, alongside rising stars from across North America. And when the final riff fades, the festival vanishes without a trace, leaving the landscape as untouched as it was before.

West Metal Entertainment, a non-profit society, not only produces Armstrong MetalFest annually but also supports the regional music scene by organizing performances at various venues, including all-ages shows, to inspire musical passion in both youth and adults.

Finnish Blackened Death Metal Band Karelian Warcry Releases Their Third Album This Spring – First Single From The Album Out Now

Posted in blackened death metal, Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on January 9, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Promotional picture: Imran Shamsul

Finnish blackened death metal band Karelian Warcry have worked with their third album for years and finally it sees the light of day this spring. The first bite from the album, a single “Mielen rutto” (The plague of mind) is now out.

Listen to the single on music services (Spotify, Apple Music, Deezer, Tidal, Bandcamp etc.) https://push.fm/fl/karelianwarcry-mielenrutto

Karelian Warcry was founded in Kouvola, Finland, in 2002. In its early stages, KW’s music leaned more distinctly towards Black Metal. Nowadays it’s influenced by other subgenres of metal as well as other types of music.

The lyrics explore themes related to war, violence and the darker sides of humanity. Each member brings their own musical roots, personal ambitions, and thematic passions into the mix, resulting in unique and recognizable sound. Wistful and haunting melodies, crushing grooves, and relentlessly driving rhythms blend with violent storytelling and poetic expression, hallmarks of Karelian Warcry’s musical identity.

  1. Mielen rutto

Music and lyrics by Jussi Kousa, Johannes Järvinen, Matti Mikkonen, Anttipekka Heiskanen

In 2014, the band went on hiatus following the passing of vocalist-guitarist Matti Mikkonen. Although the members have scattered from their hometown of Kouvola, they have continued creating music together, both remotely and in their rehearsal chamber.

One could say Karelian Warcry never ceased to exist. And now, a bit over a decade later, they have finally completed the upcoming album, “Veripellot” — their most crushing and cohesive work to date.

Line-up:
A. O. Heiskanen – Drums
J. H. Järvinen – Vocals
J. T. Kousa – Guitars
S. P. Ukkonen – Bass

Discography:
Demo ’04 (2004)
Kylmä rautainen (Album, 2005)
Verinen taival, päättymätön tie (Album, 2010)
Minun aikani (Single, 2020)

OLD MOON Release New Single/Video “A Rest To My Name”

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on January 8, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Birthed in the wet grounds and grey skies of the Pacific Northwest, OLD MOON aims to bring a unique new band to tell the tales of life’s sorrows.

Depression, grief, loss of self and death are the keys that stitch these heart-aching lyrics together. Accompanied to feed the image, a beautiful orchestra fills the air, meeting a breath of guitar melodies entangling melodic death and post black metal together in solidarity. Binding a tense and resonating sound that strikes the mind and embraces the heart, this is OLD MOON.

Today, the band launches the second single and video from their forthcoming album. Listen to “A Rest To My Name” on all streaming/download platforms or watch the lyric video HERE: https://youtu.be/Rb99B9_IHhw?si=5oBIPSJoMXYMCix1

Darker, doomier and overall more ominous the track highlights the depth and maturity of the band’s composition and vision as a nice contrast to the more hostile and straightforward first single, “Obsidian.”

“A Rest To My Name’ is a song with two meanings. For years I’ve wanted to write something around the concept of the ‘three deaths,” explains Michael Priest. “After this song was written it managed to just fit. More so with the ‘final death,’ the last time someone’s name is spoken. ‘A Rest to My Name’ is derived more from the prospective of the person that is already gone and embarks through a journey of never wanting to be forgotten to acceptance; leading to a conclusion that says ‘forget my name and let me rest.”

‘A REST TO MY NAME’ LYRIC VIDEO: 
https://youtu.be/Rb99B9_IHhw?si=5oBIPSJoMXYMCix1

“A Rest To My Name” and “Obsidian” both come from the group’s forthcoming full-length debut, ‘Home To Nowhere’ out May 8th on CD, limited-edition (300) smoke colored vinyl and digital. Pre-Order now at www.m-theoryaudio.com/store or https://oldmoonmusic.bandcamp.com

The Portland-based outfit, founded by Michael Priest (Gone In April, Idolatrous, ex-Boudica), self-released a 3-song EP in 2024. That EP left an impression on M-Theory Audio label founder Marco Barbieri who recognized the vision and potential of OLD MOON, keeping tabs as the group built and solidified itself with a full lineup, live shows and the eventual recording of a full album that secured a release with the label.

OLD MOON:
Michael Priest – Vocals
Grady Pursel – Guitar
Chris Lagor – Guitar
Ryan Wilkerson – Bass
Tim Cauley – Drums

DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG Broadcast Their Metal ‘Propaganda’ In New Video

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on January 8, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Stream “Propoganda” HERE: https://youtu.be/6p3Te-BCICs

On time with their monthly rendezvous with fans since the first single release, here comes another video from Babylon: DIRKSCHNEIDER & THE OLD GANG have unveiled the new visual for “Propaganda“, one of the most high-energy tracks from their latest album, released on October 3rd, 2025 through Reigning Phoenix Music (RPM). While the song has already made its mark on the album, the video now adds the visual dimension to its uncompromising power.

“Propaganda” is a rousing song in typical double bass drum style that barely gives you time to breathe. After an aggressive guitar intro and a sublime guitar riff, the highlights follow in rapid succession: Udo Dirkschneider and Peter Baltes shine with their polyphonic choir type vocals which alternate with two-part guitar licks, while the chorus screams the entire media-critical message of the lyrics out into the world.

Listen to Babylon on your favourite streaming platform or get your CD/LP/Earbook here: https://datog.rpm.link/babylon

Manuela “Ella” Bibert supports all this with her solo vocal interludes as well as with a harsh and intensely played Hammond organ. as if that weren’t enough, a guitar solo follows a hymn type vocal part, which culminates in a harmony battle with the organ. The seventies and eighties send their regards!

DARSOMBRA Presents: Transmission – A Celebration For Ann Everton; Two-Day Festival Event To Take Place In Baltimore February 28th – March 1st + New Video Posted

Posted in Metal, Heavy Metal, Music, metal music, news, metal bands, music news with tags , , , , on January 7, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

DARSOMBRA Presents: Transmission – A Celebration For Ann Everton is a two-day festival event set to take place at Baltimore’s Ottobar on February 28th and March 1st. 

The gathering was created to honor the life and art of DARSOMBRA’s Ann Everton, who tragically passed away in a vehicle accident in early October when the band was beginning their latest tour. Everton left an indelible impression on everyone who met her. Everton’s husband and founding DARSOMBRA member Brian Daniloski worked directly with the staff at the Ottobar and several artists to organize this special event, which sees almost thirty acts – all of whom are friends of DARSOMBRA – uniting to perform in Everton’s memory.

Preceded by a gathering for family and friends, DARSOMBRA Presents: Transmission – A Celebration For Ann Everton, will feature two full days of performances on both the upstairs and downstairs stages at the Ottobar. A large contingent of the acts are friends located across the Baltimore area, with some of the highlights including Acoustic War On Women, Curse Consumer Culture, Moth Broth, 50’ ♀ & The Worms, Quattracenta, Holy Fingers, Celebration, and many others. Approximately a third of the bill includes bands from beyond the local scene, including Cultic and Stinking Lizaveta from Pennsylvania, Ala Muerte and Gridfailure from New York, and more.

With the news of the festival, DARSOMBRA also unveils a new video for the track “Mellow Knees,” the song found on the band’s sprawling 2xLP Dumesday Book opus, on which the band was still touring. The video is one of the final pieces of visual art Ann Everton had completed at the time of her passing and captures a wide array of nature footage and more she filmed over various tours on the album over the past few years.

Daniloski reveals, “This video was completed in 2024. It is the ending sequence of what was supposed to be the Dumesday Book video album. Ann wanted to create a video for every song on the 75-minute album and have them all connect its pandemic-tymes storyline, from when we were all told to shelter in place in Spring 2020, to its conclusion about a year or so later, which, for DARSOMBRA and this video, meant being able to leave our home to go back out on the road and tour again. She had completed videos for over half of the album, including this one, before her passing in October 2025.”

Tune in and watch DARSOMBRA’s “Mellow Knees” video alongside many other videos from the album and more on the band’s YouTube channel RIGHT HERE.

While the exact future of DARSOMBRA remains uncertain, the band has a sizable surplus of unreleased material, some of which will be released in conjunction with the festival. Watch for further developments to be announced.

Jan. 7, 2026 – Kicking off the new year, Puscifer release “ImpetuoUs,” a third and final preview of the band’s highly-anticipated album, Normal Isn’t, arriving Feb. 6th, via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG.

“I’m looking forward to hearing where this song takes people,” Maynard James Keenan says. “As the writers, we forget that in a way, we are carpenters and that we’ve been with this song since it was a pile of lumber. Our Perspective may differ from the final occupant of this space we’ve constructed. Shelter, Bridge or Gallows, Coffin? Curious to find out.”

The accompanying visualizer offers a first look at the Puscifer comic book series, “Tales From The Pusciverse.” The debut issue spotlights the character Bellendia Black, originally introduced in the “Pendulum” video. Additional details about the series, launching in tandem with Normal Isn’t, will be announced soon.

Puscifer has previously released two tracks from the 11-song album: “Self Evident,” a song that Stereogum called “gnarly” while noting Keenan and Carina Round “operatically growl” on the four-minute outing, and “Pendulum,” a nod to the post-punk underground of the 1980s that Consequences said sounds like the “lovechild of Bauhaus and Sisters of Mercy.”

Written and recorded across Arizona, Los Angeles, and on the road during last year’s Sessanta tour, the album blends the dark electronics and sharp humor Puscifer is known for with a more spontaneous creative process. “From the outset, we had discussed an element of rawness and edge, which guitar brings,” shares Mat Mitchell, who co-produced the album. “We got rid of the guard rails and made the music more aggressive.”

“Normal Isn’t reflects this time we are living in,” Keenan adds. “As storytellers and artists, our job is to observe, interpret, and report. We take in our environment and share what we see, and what we see around us does not appear normal. Not by a long shot.”

Album guests include Greg Edwards (bass), Gunnar Olsen (drums), and Sarah Jones (drums) with guests Tony Levin (bass on “Normal Isn’t” and “Seven One”), Danny Carey (drums on “Seven One”) and Mr. Ian Ross (father of Atticus Ross, who narrates “Seven One”).

Normal Isn’t is available now for pre-order and pre-saves (https://Puscifer.lnk.to/NormalIsnt), including multiple limited-edition vinyl variants: standard black, indie retail orange swirl, a Zia Records tan smoke exclusive, and a Puscifer.com-only black ice and clear with black splatter. The album is also available on CD, cassette, and digitally.

Puscifer is a band of three creative confidants, namely Mat Mitchell, Carina Round, and Maynard James Keenan, who fuse music, performance, and visual art into a singular experience. Over the years, Puscifer has carved an indelible mark on the cultural landscape, releasing a series of acclaimed albums, selling out famed venues, appearing on the lineups of Coachella, Bonnaroo, and other major festivals, and even curating their own touring festival, Sessanta.

They’ve provided what was essentially the soundtrack to the first season of “Yellowstone,” and their albums regularly land on the top 30 of the Billboard Top 200. They’ve made memorable appearances on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” and the “The Late Show,” bringing their signature blend of precision, wit, and theatricality to late night television.

Puscifer has also welcomed a revolving door of collaborators, from musicians like Greg Edwards, Gunnar Olsen, and Sarah Jones to remixers including Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross, Phantogram, and Sir Mix-A-Lot, as well as actors Bob Odenkirk and Milla Jovovich. It’s also a universe for the (mis) adventures of original characters: Billy D, (his wife) Hildy Berger, Major Douche, and Special Agent Dick Merkin. More than a band, Puscifer is a creative ecosystem; a boundary-pushing collective where sound, story, and spectacle collide.

OVERTOUN – Chilean Death-Thrash Powerhouse Unleashes New Single “Yūrei”

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on January 5, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

OVERTOUN have unveiled “Yūrei”, the second single taken from their upcoming third full-length album Death Drive Anthropology, due out on February 13th, 2026 via Time To Kill Records.

Musically, “Yūrei” sharpens the band’s death–thrash core with an unsettling melodic tension, where tightly wound riffs, dynamic rhythmic shifts, and subtle Latin and folk-inflected nuances converge into a focused and oppressive atmosphere.

YouTube: https://youtu.be/BsVUzNqQud0

Streaming: https://ffm.to/overtoun-yurei

The band comments:

“Inspired by Japanese folklore, the title refers to the yūrei , spirits trapped between worlds, a reflection of humanity’s eternal struggle with the shadow of death. This song also embodies our deepening bond with Japan, a connection that grew even stronger during our 2025 tour. This is another step into the ritual”.

On Death Drive Anthropology OVERTOUN expand their fierce Chilean/American identity, channelling the death drive (Thanatos) into a relentless exploration of human rituals, mortality, and cultural collapse – a true Book of Death forged in sound.

Rooted in the primal force of ’90s death–thrash yet sharpened by a modern, incisive edge, the album fuses Latin rhythms, folk-tinged guitars, and razor-tight riffs, featuring standout guest performances by Max Phelps (CYNIC, DEATH TO ALL), Enrico H. Di Lorenzo (HIDEOUS DIVINITY) and Shantanu Vyas (HAZING OVER).

Track-list:

01. What Unites All (feat. Max Phelps)
02. The Final Beat
03. Memento Mori (feat. Enrico H. Di Lorenzo)
04. Dur Khrod
05. Jade, Gold, Obsidian
06. Yūrei
07. Weeping
08. Wind And Water (feat. Shantanu Vyas)
09. The Waves Suite: Siren
10. The Waves Suite: Ocean
11. The Waves Suite: Caleuche
12. Death Drive Anthropology

Produced by acclaimed Argentinian mastermind Martín Furia (DESTRUCTION, BARK), Death Drive Anthropology further cements OVERTOUN as one of the most compelling and forward-thinking forces emerging from the Latin American metal landscape.

OVERTOUN is a death-thrash metal band based between Santiago, Chile, and Boston, MA, fusing the rich musical heritage of Latin America with the complexity and aggression of technical death metal. Founded by Agustín Lobo and Matías Bahamondes, the band solidified its lineup with Yoav Ruiz-Feingold (Atheist, Graviton) on vocals and Matías Salas on bass.

OFFAL FEST Launched “Battle Of The Slams”

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Extreme Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal festivals, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on January 5, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Rising extreme metal acts to compete for a slot at Offal Fest 2026, with the winner decided by fan voting

Heat 1 takes place on 8th February, Heat 2 on 22 February with the final date to be announced with a surprise headliner

Rancid Offal Promotions, the organisers behind events such as Offal Fest and Goremageddon, have launched a brand-new showcase series designed to spotlight the next generation of extreme metal talent and provide one emerging act with the opportunity to open Offal Fest 2026.

This competition invites fans to play a direct role in the festival’s curation, as attendees at each heat will be responsible for voting for their favourite bands to determine who progresses to the final stage. The showcase series is built on a commitment to supporting the local scene and rising international talent, ensuring the festival’s opening slot is earned through pure live intensity and crowd support.

The competition begins with Heat 1 on 8th February 2026, which features a heavy-hitting billing including Vast Slug,World War Three, Erectomy andMindhold.

This will be followed quickly by Heat 2 on 22nd February 2026, where Combat Evolved, Dushman, 12 Gauge Autopsy and War Bastard will take to the stage to compete for their place in the final. 

Organizers have emphasised that every single vote matters and have encouraged the community to turn out in force to support these rising acts. While the dates for the preliminary rounds are now set, the date for the final will be announced in due course and is set to feature a surprise guest headliner to close out the competition.

“We are so stoked to give these bands a real shot at opening the big stage next year,” says the team at Rancid Offal Promotions. “The scene is absolutely crawling with talent right now, and letting the fans decide who gets onto the Offal Fest bill feels like the best way to keep things authentic. Make sure you get down to the heats and vote, because your voice is literally what puts these guys on the poster for July.“

Tickets for the showcase heats are available now and can be purchased through the official competition website at https://battleoftheslams.com/. Further details regarding the surprise headliner and the final date will be released via social media channels in the coming months.

Dedicated to the most extreme facets of gore, grind, slam, and brutal death metal, Offal Fest has solidified its status as a vital fixture in the international metal calendar following its sold-out 2025 edition. The 2026 festival, scheduled for 24-26 July at its new Manchester home, The Bread Shed, will be headlined by two major UK-exclusive performances from genre pioneers Devourment and Ohio powerhouse Regurgitation, the latter making their debut appearance on UK soil.

The comprehensive lineup features a global roster including New York legends Immortal Suffering, Japan’s Butcher ABC, and Korea’s Fecundation, alongside a formidable domestic contingent headlined by the “wobble-box” specialists Crepitation and the official reunion of Infected Disarray.

Bolstered by further international talent such as GutturalSlug, Unbirth and Darkall Slaves, Offal Fest 2026 aims to build upon the momentum of previous years, which saw exclusive sets from acts such as Skinless and Wormed, to provide a definitive weekend of brutality for the global extreme music community.

ORCHID THRONE Bring on 2026 with “Ephemerality” Single/Video

Posted in doom metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on January 4, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Baltimore (MD) – One-man Melodic Doom Metal outfit, Orchid Throne, ring in the new year with the official video for “Ephemerality,” the third single from forthcoming debut full-length, Buried in Black.

Dive right in at: youtu.be/IxuZyULxMBg

“Ephemerality” is also available on the usual streaming platforms, including Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.

Orchid Throne is set to release Buried in Black on January 9, 2026! The project consists solely of Nicholas Bonsanto (Lör,Empress, Helianthus, Barren) who wrote and performs the music, as well as producing, mixing and mastering the album.

After nearly 17 years of playing supporting roles in various bands, Nicholas Bonsanto (Lör, Empress, Helianthus, Barren) is proud to make his debut as a solo artist as the man behind Orchid Throne. 

While not a concept album, Buried in Black weaves themes of anxiety, depression, fear of death, and the search for life’s meaning throughout its lyrics. The title describes both the music itself and the feelings that Bonsanto has kept buried within for years. It may sound bleak, but what is buried in black will be set free and brought to light on January 9th.

“This album is a long time coming for me,” said Bonsanto. “For more than a decade, I collected little recordings of ideas in the hope that one day they’d be useful. I could not be more proud of myself for how the album came out and for all of the things I have learned along the way.”
