Los Angeles cinematicโmetal outfit Levinia returns with the third installment of their 2026 fourโsingle cycle, releasing their heaviest and most visceral track yet: โBite.โ The single and accompanying music video arrive as the followโup to the bandโs recent releases โSilver Tonguesโ and โThe Thorn,โ continuing the groupโs evolution into a darker, sharper, and more emotionally charged era.
โBite,โ like all four upcoming singles, is produced by Brandon Friesen (Halestorm, Nickelback, The Hu, Papa Roach), whose cinematic approach and modern metal sensibilities have helped elevate Leviniaโs sound into its most refined form to date.
Drawing inspiration from Dracula, specifically the character of Mina Murray/Harker, โBiteโ reimagines the classic Gothic arc of vulnerability transformed into strength. Vocalist Kourt Henson channels Minaโs evolution from prey to force of will, weaving a narrative of emotional reclamation, toxic entanglement, and the quiet power of survival.
โโBiteโ is for anyone whoโs ever felt drained by something or someone that tried to control them. Itโs about finding the strength to fight back and become something stronger than what tried to break you,โ says Henson.
Musically, โBiteโ is Levinia at their most aggressive, relentless riffs, cinematic tension, and a vocal performance that swings between haunting restraint and explosive catharsis. Fans of the bandโs heavier material, especially tracks like โPush and Pull,โ will immediately gravitate toward its intensity.
The singleโs artwork features a single drop of blood, a minimalist but potent symbol tied directly to the songโs themes. More than a nod to vampiric imagery, the blood represents the shedding of a former self, a transformation born from pain, loss, and the reclaiming of personal power.
โBiteโ continues Leviniaโs 2026 collaboration with producer Brandon Friesen, who worked closely with guitarist Alon MeiโTal and vocalist Kourt Henson during preโproduction to refine the bandโs most ambitious material yet. The partnership has resulted in a sound that is heavier, more cinematic, and more emotionally deliberate than anything in the bandโs catalog.
This single marks the third chapter in a fourโpart release cycle that showcases the full spectrum of Leviniaโs identity, from grooveโdriven modern metal to atmospheric balladry to the ferocity embodied in โBite.โ
About: Levinia blends symphonic atmosphere, modern metal aggression, and cinematic storytelling into a sound influenced by Epica, Lacuna Coil, Sabaton, Disturbed, and Evanescence. Formed from the ashes of Los Angeles powerโmetal band Aerius, the group has spent nearly a decade refining its identity into something bold, emotional, and unmistakably its own.
East Nashville hard rock force KALAMITY KILLS returns with โLos Dรญas Son Malos,โ a Spanish-language take on their song โThese Days Are Evil.โ The track captures a sense of cultural unrest and psychological tension that feels unmistakably current, blending aggressive riffs, driving rhythms, and a massive, chant-ready chorus built for rock fans across languages and borders.
โLos Dรญas Son Malosโ was born from a renewed connection between frontman Jamie Rowe and the Latin American audience that has followed him since his years with Guardian, whose Spanish-language releases helped build a lasting international fanbase. After revisiting those classic choruses on Instagram and seeing a powerful response from fans, the idea of recording a KALAMITY KILLS song in Spanish began to take shape.
โIโve been incredibly fortunate to have a large Latin American fanbase, due to the Spanish releases from my GUARDIAN years,โ says Rowe. โRecently I started randomly singing those old choruses on Instagram, and hundreds of thousands of people showed up to watch. That response stuck with me. Around the same time, Jamey Perrenotโs wife Christie told him we should cut a Kalamity Kills song in Spanish, and the idea just clicked.โ
โWe found Rosa Rodriguez in Nashville, a Honduran native and a phenomenal singer in her own right. She came in and worked with me phonetically to get the vocal track right, and she also sang the female vocal lines so the song would stay true to the English recording of โThese Days Are Evil.โ Iโm really excited to put this out and hopefully connect with everyone who loves rock en espaรฑol.โ
With โLos Dรญas Son Malos,โ KALAMITY KILLS expands the reach of one of its most urgent songs without softening its impact. The Spanish version preserves the weight and intensity of the original while giving the track a new emotional dimension, powered by Roweโs commanding vocal performance and Rodriguezโs dynamic female vocal lines.
Known for marrying hard rock muscle with sharp lyrical conviction, KALAMITY KILLS continues to carve out a sound that is heavy, melodic, and direct. โLos Dรญas Son Malosโ stands as both a tribute to the bandโs Latin American listeners and a bold step toward a wider rock en espaรฑol audience.
About KALAMITY KILLS
KALAMITY KILLS is a hard rock band forged in the heart of East Nashville, Tennessee. Formed in 2022 by vocalist Jamie Rowe and guitarist/producer Jamey Perrenot, the band emerged from the ashes of a solo project into a fully realized sonic assault, fueled by raw emotion, modern aggression, and a deep respect for rockโs roots. With a sound that fuses the swagger of classic hard rock with the intensity and polish of modern metal, KALAMITY KILLS strikes a rare balance between power and vulnerability.
Best known for their debut self-titled album Kalamity Kills, the band quickly turned heads thanks to high-profile collaborations with members of KORN, 3 DOORS DOWN, LA GUNS, CONQUER DIVIDE, and UNDEROATH. Their music has earned national airplay on SIRIUSXMโs Octane, landed on the Billboard Active Rock charts, and crossed over into viral success without ever chasing trends.
More than just a studio project, KALAMITY KILLS is a growing force with a full live lineup, including bassist/vocalist Julia Lauren Bullock and drummer Rob Bodley. Their songs ranging from explosive anthems to brutally honest ballads tackle themes of faith, failure, hypocrisy, redemption, and the messy beauty of being human.
KALAMITY KILLS is for the outsiders, the misfits, the ones whoโve been burned and are still standing. Loud. Unapologetic. Unforgettable.
