Debut Album Dread Cycle Out August 14th

The new video from Tasmanian death metal devils THE ABSOLUTION SEQUENCE is now streaming. “The Nightlight Sigil” is the third single off the band’s highly-anticipated full-length album, Dread Cycle.

Vocalist Shawn Wells calls the song the most personal track on Dread Cycle. “The Nightlight Sigil is a tale of family trauma, toxic home environments and the way in which one is treated in the aftermath. Often those who have suffered the most where they are meant to feel protected are shamed and forgotten. The aim of this is to keep the conversation alive, and begin to heal these deep wounds.”

Following a string of EPs and singles, the album promises to be the band’s most incendiary work yet. Slated for release via Bleeding Art Collective, with distribution by Blood Blast Distribution, Dread Cycle is set to solidify the band’s position as a premier name in contemporary technical death metal.

Dread Cycle is due out on August 14.

CoreLeoni – Announce Their New Studio Album Generection ~ Video For First Single “Generation Rock” Streaming Now

CoreLeoni led by Gotthard founding member Leo Leoni, have announced the release of their new studio album Generection, set for release on September 11 via Reigning Phoenix Music. Marking the band’s fourth album since its formation in 2017 and the second featuring vocalist Gent Bushpepa, Generection sees CoreLeoni returning to their roots with their heaviest and hardest-hitting record to date.

Built on a foundation of unreleased tracks, the album showcases the powerhouse lineup of Alex Motta (drums), Mila Merker (bass), and Jgor Gianola (guitars), standing as unshakable pillars of the band’s sound.

While heavier and harder than its predecessors, Generection never sacrifices warmth or atmosphere, especially in its most intimate moments. With the entire band contributing more to the songwriting than ever before, the result aligns perfectly with Leo Leoni‘s unmistakable signature sound.

Generection is available for pre-order now: https://coreleoni.rpm.link/generectionPR

Of all the tracks on Generection, “Generation Rock” best captures the album’s generational spirit. The riff cuts like a knife, while the breakneck rhythm will have neck muscles tensing in anticipation of the inevitable headbanging.

Blending raw power with analog warmth, the song unites distant generations through a shared musical dream. The common thread is music itself, as Leo channels timeless emotions that still burn close to the heart. This first single perfectly embodies the album’s concept: just turn it up!

Generection – Track-list:
1. Last Goodbye
2. Generation Rock
3. Howling At The Moon
4. Sex On The Beach
5. Believe
6. Vision
7. Rock’n’Roll Rebel
8. Don’t Tell Me
9. I’m Afraid I’m In Love
10. Yearning
11. Lady Marmalade (Digital Album Only)

The analog mix is one of the defining characteristics of Generection, recreating the magic of ’70s and ’80s recordings while injecting a modern edge. Razor-sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and just the right touch of sweetness and dimension make this an album that opens a door to the past for younger listeners while reconnecting older rockers with their roots.

Since launching CoreLeoni in 2017, Leo Leoni has built the project into a celebrated hard rock force that bridges generations. With Gent Bushpepa once again delivering a commanding vocal performance and a band firing on all cylinders, Generection stands as a powerful statement of intent, honouring classic rock traditions while pushing confidently forward.

The Digipak CD edition also includes a bonus disc featuring the “Live At Hallenstadion” concert, recorded in Zürich, Switzerland, in July 2025 and previously available only as a digital release.
