With zero intention of playing it safe, ENEMY INSIDE return with their explosive new single “R.I.P.“, a track that doesn’t just close a chapter, it sets the whole damn book on fire.

“R.I.P.” is at its core about letting go, burying what no longer serves you, and moving on with clarity and intent. Armed with razor-edged riffs, industrial textures, and anthemic hooks, the band steps into a darker, heavier, and more uncompromising sonic identity than ever before — a bold evolution that signals the dawn of a new era.

“‘R.I.P.’might be one of the heaviest ENEMY INSIDE songs yet. A farewell to the past and everything that once tried to hold you back.” Evan K. & Nastassja Giulia

Driven by the mantra “you cannot control me,” the track cuts deep, lyrically and sonically. Lines like “used to be the echo now I am the scream” perfectly capture the band’s transformation: louder, sharper, and impossible to ignore.

Musically, “R.I.P.” pushes ENEMY INSIDE into heavier territory, combining their signature modern sound with heightened force, especially through more aggressive vocal delivery and powerful, cutting screams that underline the song’s emotional weight.

“R.I.P.” also arrives with a high-end, cinematic music video, continuing the band’s tradition of visually striking productions that amplify their sonic intensity.

The single offers a first glimpse into the band’s upcoming album (set for release via RPM), dialing their already uncompromising sound up to a whole new level of intensity.

To bring this new chapter to the stage, ENEMY INSIDE will join SMASH INTO PIECES as special guests on their April and May 2026 tour, delivering their high-energy live show across Europe.

This isn’t just a release.

It’s a burial. And ENEMY INSIDE are the ones holding the shovel.

ROCKLUST Unleash Debut Album Smoking Wheels – Classic Hard Rock, Pure Energy And a Promise Ready to Explode!

Posted in Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock bands, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , on April 24, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Smoking Wheels, the debut album by ROCKLUST, is now available on all digital platforms via Volcano Records & Promotion.

After months of steady growth and increasing attention from industry insiders, the Italian band presents a record that perfectly captures their artistic identity, projecting it with confidence onto the international hard rock scene. Smoking Wheels is deeply rooted in classic hard rock, reinterpreted through a modern attitude and a clear vision. With sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and powerful, personality-driven vocals, the album builds a coherent and recognizable sonic journey, evoking the legacy of bands such as Whitesnake, Airbourne, and Scorpions without ever sounding derivative.

The ROCKLUST project quickly gained attention within the European underground scene thanks to a series of singles that, step by step, showcased the band’s different facets: “Smoking Wheels”, “Wild Crowd”, the power ballad “Child Spirit”, leading up to “Rocklust”, released just a few days ago, a true manifesto track that solidified the band’s position as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the European hard rock landscape.

This sequence of releases, supported by tangible media attention and strong traction across platforms, has placed Rocklust increasingly on the radar of industry professionals, building anticipation around a debut that now finally reaches its full expression.

Within Smoking Wheels, energy, attitude, and vision coexist: direct and powerful tracks alternate with more expansive and reflective moments, shaping a record that goes beyond a simple collection of songs and becomes a true artistic statement. An album that stands as a solid and self-aware starting point, capable of anticipating even more ambitious developments in the future.
