East Nashville Hard Rock Force KALAMITY KILLS Announces New Single “Los Días Son Malos”

Watch “Los Dias Son Malos HERE: https://youtu.be/_QAAr2f0nMc

East Nashville hard rock force KALAMITY KILLS returns with “Los Días Son Malos,” a Spanish-language take on their song “These Days Are Evil.” 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.

“Los Días Son Malos” 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.

“I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have a large Latin American fanbase, due to the Spanish releases from my GUARDIAN years,” says Rowe. “Recently 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 Perrenot’s wife Christie told him we should cut a Kalamity Kills song in Spanish, and the idea just clicked.”

“We 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 ‘These Days Are Evil.’ I’m really excited to put this out and hopefully connect with everyone who loves rock en español.”

With “Los Días Son Malos,” 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 Rowe’s commanding vocal performance and Rodriguez’s 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. “Los Días Son Malos” stands as both a tribute to the band’s Latin American listeners and a bold step toward a wider rock en español 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 rock’s 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 SIRIUSXM’s 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 who’ve been burned and are still standing. Loud. Unapologetic. Unforgettable.

KALAMITY KILLS:

  • Jamie Rowe – Lead Vocals
  • Jamey Perrenot – Guitar / Producer
  • Julia Lauren Bullock – Bass / Vocals (Live)
  • Rob Bodley – Drums (Live)

J NOIRE Signs to Vaux Records, Announces Debut Single “Radiate”

Posted in alternative rock, Hard Rock, industrial metal, industrial rock, Metal, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on June 1, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Nashville-based modern rock artist J NOIRE has officially signed to Vaux Records, one of the first acts to join the newly formed label created by former Rise Records founder and owner Craig Ericson.

Commenting on joining the label, J NOIRE says: 

“When the owner of Vaux Records moved onto my mom’s street, I had no idea it would lead to where we are today. It’s a total dream come true, feels like a scene from a movie.“

The signing marks a major milestone for both J NOIRE and Vaux Records, sparking early excitement fueled by Ericson’s enduring impact on the rock and alternative scene and his reputation for cultivating artists into international successes.

J NOIRE introduces his sound with the debut single “Radiate,” a preview of what’s to come from his forthcoming EP, Prometheus, due out later this year.

Blending elements of modern rock, pop, metal, and industrial influences, J NOIRE crafts a sound that is both emotionally resonant and sonically commanding. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Nine Inch Nails, A Perfect Circle, and Bad Omens, the project also appeals to fans of Bring Me The Horizon and Breaking Benjamin, while maintaining a distinct identity rooted in authenticity and intensity.

Giving context to the track, J NOIRE adds: 

“It’s a song about hope, and these days I feel like we need songs to remind people that there’s ALWAYS hope, love, and purpose in life. We all deserve that spark, something that radiates.“

Stream “Radiate“:

“RADIATE” MUSIC VIDEO: 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BTmVpR4NJQI

J NOIRE’s journey has shaped the project’s creative direction. Raised on rock music and beginning guitar at the age of five, he spent years developing his craft before relocating to Nashville, where he performed professionally as a guitarist on Broadway. While that experience sharpened his musicianship, he ultimately sought a more personal artistic outlet.

A pivotal connection with Ericson helped bring the vision to life, resulting in the launch of Vaux Records and the development of the project’s debut material. Working alongside producer Ryan Furlott, he created a collection of songs that balance vulnerability with striking production.

Now joined by bassist Stevens Stokes and drummer Danny Laverde, J NOIRE’s vision has come to fruition, ready to introduce his dynamic sound to a wider audience.

With “Radiate,” J NOIRE delivers a powerful first statement, an introduction that signals both artistic intent and a bold new chapter ahead.

STEFANIA SISTU Releases New Single ‘Surbile’ – Between Rock, Folklore & Inner Darkness!

Posted in gothic metal, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on May 31, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

“Surbile”, the new single by STEFANIA SISTU released through Volcano Records, is available now on all digital platforms. Accompanied by an official concept visualizer available on YouTube, the track represents an intense emotional journey suspended between modern rock sounds, dark atmospheres and a strong introspective component.

Drawing influences from the melodic pathos of Evanescence, the gothic suggestions of Within Temptation and the emotional depth of Lacuna Coil, Stefania Sistu builds a personal and recognizable sonic identity, capable of alternating fragility and power within an intense and cinematic musical dimension.

“Surbile” develops through a solid yet evocative sound, where guitars and emotional tension accompany a deep and visceral narrative. At the center of the song lies the figure of the “Surbile”, a dark creature from Sardinian folklore, a disturbing and mysterious presence connected to nightmares, ancestral fears and inner shadows.

Stefania Sistu transforms this ancient folk symbol into a contemporary metaphor for emotional torment, anguish and the fragilities hidden within the deepest dimension of the human soul. The result is an intense story suspended between myth and introspection, where folklore becomes a tool to explore universal anxieties.

Written by Stefania Sistu and composed by Daniele Pireddu, the song focuses on contrasting emotions and the need to confront one’s inner demons, turning music into a space of liberation and self-awareness. The artist’s voice moves through dark and vibrant atmospheres with great personality, delivering an intense and engaging performance.

Listen to “Surbile” on Spotify, Apple Music and all major digital platforms, and watch the official concept visualizer on YouTube, here: https://youtu.be/bBpDx-RmbxU

SINNER Release First Single “Wait” From Final Studio Album Boom Bang Goodbye – Delivers Positive Energy, Big Choruses And The Emotional Legacy Of A German Hard Rock Legend

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on May 29, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Watch “Wait” HERE! https://youtu.be/mj7U7cmhyus

German hard rock legend SINNER present the energized new single “Wait” alongside a music video. This is the first single to land from the band’s forthcoming, and final, full-length studio offering, Boom Bang Goodbye. The album will arrive on July 31, 2026, via RPM. For over four decades SINNER have delivered massive hooks, powerful guitars, emotional depth and pure hard rock energy with an uplifting sound, and “Wait” is no different. 

On the new single “Wait”, Mat Sinner shares:
“For the first song from the album, I wanted a positive good-time track that simply puts people in a good mood. The political madness we’re living through doesn’t need another depressing soundtrack. ‘Wait’ is also a very representative song for the entire album. Working with Michael Bormann again after 10 years immediately clicked — the chemistry was there right away. And just like on the whole album, there’s an unbelievably great performance from drummer Moritz Müller and my partner Alex Scholpp, plus the absolutely brilliant mix by my friend Jacob Hansen. Mat was 100% happy!”

The video for “Wait” also captures the song’s positive energy, welcoming the summer with ease, optimism and feel-good vibes.

With Boom Bang Goodbye, SINNER enter the final chapter of an extraordinary career. Since 1982, the band led by Mat Sinner has been one of the most consistent forces in the German hard rock and metal scene. Following 19 studio albums, international tours and most recently the successful album Brotherhood, the band is set to end on a high note.

For this final statement, Mat Sinner has once again gathered an epic lineup of longtime companions and high-profile guests. Alex Scholpp (guitar) and Moritz Müller (drums) provide the album’s powerful foundation, joined by Jim Müller of KISSIN’ DYNAMITE, Lisa Müller, and former SINNER bandmate Mathias Dieth, who performed on the influential early albums Comin’ Out Fighting and Dangerous Charm. Another renowned guitarist on board is Magnus Karlsson, closely connected to Mat Sinner through the PRIMAL FEAR camp, who contributes vocals on Boom Bang Goodbye.

All-star appearances on Boom Bang Goodbye continue with vocal performances from Ronnie Romero (RAINBOW), Michael Bormann, Michael Sadler (SAGA), Björn Strid (SOILWORK), Erik Mårtensson (ECLIPSE), Renan Zonta and Sascha Krebs. Each guest brings their own distinctive touch to the track list, making the album an impressive gathering of international hard rock and metal greats.

Mixed and mastered by Jacob Hansen at Hansen Studios in Denmark, the album combines modern heaviness with classic SINNER DNA. Every song bears the unmistakable signature of Mat Sinner as a musician, songwriter and personality who has helped shape the European metal scene for decades. “Wait” is available now on all platforms.

Last month, Nuclear Blast Records announced the release of a remastered edition of Over The Under. Initially issued in the Fall of 2007, DOWN’s third studio album was produced by Warren Riker and served as a true moment in time, delivering over 60 heartfelt minutes of sonic frustration with songs addressing the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina and personal turmoil. 

The 2026 edition of Over The Under features remastered audio by Eric Koondel (Soilwork, Cynic, Malevolent Creation, Death) and marks the first time the LP will be officially available in the US market. Additionally, the CD and digital versions include bonus track “Invest In Fear” (the first time the track will be available on a US physical release and on Digital Service Providers worldwide).

DOWN’s Over The Under remaster will be available on CD, LP, and digital formats on June 19th. Find preorders HERE.

Additionally, DOWN’s special cover of Dr. John’s “Right Place, Wrong Time,” initially released in video form to celebrate Mardi Gras earlier this year, is currently available on all streaming platforms!

New Orleans native Dr. John was an American singer, songwriter, and pianist. His music combined New Orleans blues, jazz, R&B, soul, and funk. “Right Place, Wrong Time” was the first single from Dr. John’s 1973 album, In the Right Place, and became the most popular single of his career. The song has been featured in various films and television shows, including “Dazed And Confused” and “American Horror Story: Coven”. DOWN’s cover of “Right Place, Wrong Time” is an homage to Dr. John and his appearances on The Midnight Special TV series, a late-night musical variety show that aired from 1972 to 1981.

Stream DOWN’s rendition of Dr. John’s “Right Place, Wrong Time” HERE.

You know it’s DOWN as soon as you hear them. Featuring vocalist Philip H. Anselmo, guitarists Pepper Keenan and Kirk Windstein, drummer Jimmy Bower, and bassist Pat Bruders, there’s no mistaking those gargantuan riffs, swamp blues leads, crashing drums, and hypnotic howls for absolutely anybody else under the sun. The band upholds a certain tradition that countless fans celebrate, expanding their own musical mythos as they leave its pillars intact and untouched.

With a collective resume encompassing Pantera, Corrosion Of Conformity, Crowbar, and EyeHateGod, the quintet puffed out its first haze of sonic smoke from the belly of gritty old New Orleans on the 1995 platinum-selling classic, NOLA. At that moment, they naturally summoned something akin to a ritual, continually partaking in it with critically revered offerings – Down II: A Bustle In Your Hedgerow in 2002, Down III: Over The Under in 2007, Down IV – Part One in 2012, and Down IV – Part Two in 2014.

Their shows built a certain live lore with unforgettable runs alongside Metallica and Heaven & Hell, as well as coveted spots on iconic festivals like Download, Soundwave, Ozzfest, and so many others, forever delivering passionate, powerful, pure heavy music you can feel deep down in your soul.

Stand by for updates on new DOWN music in the months to come.

A PERFECT CIRCLE Re-Emerge With “Starless” – New Single Arrives Ahead Of Band’s European Tour

Posted in alternative rock, alternative rock bands, alternative rock music, Hard Rock, Music, music news, news on May 27, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

2026 TOUR DATES INCLUDE EUROPE, U.K. LATIN AMERICA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND, JAPAN & HAWAII

May 27, 2026 – A Perfect Circle return with “Starless” (https://apc.lnk.to/Starless), a new single from Billy Howerdel and Maynard James Keenan that signals a new dawn for the band, arriving days before they launch their first European/U.K. tour in eight years.

“Absolutely chuffed to debut this new track on stage in the U.K.,” Keenan shares. “Of course I’m excited to release the recordings but our songs always take on an expanded personality once we start playing them live.”

Unmistakably A Perfect Circle, “Starless” moves between muscular, guitar-driven intensity and delicate, intricate passages, with the precision that has long defined the band’s work.

Recorded at Howerdel’s Lankershim Ranch Studio in Studio City, Calif., “Starless” was written earlier this year, produced by Howerdel and mixed by Matty Green (U2, Florence + the Machine, TV on the Radio) and features longtime collaborator Josh Freese on drums.

“Some songs get kicked around and massaged for years,” Howerdel says. “But once in a while, one takes shape quickly, as if it had been there all along.”

A limited-edition “Starless” 7-inch single is also available now via Revolver. Featuring a custom etching of the band’s famous crescent logo on the B-side and a custom 7-inch adapter, the vinyl release arrives on two variants: silver/black, and white with sea blue and black splatter.

Tickets for all shows except Japan are available now via APerfectCircle.com. Japanese tickets are available June 13 at 10 a.m. local time. Puscifer appears on dates from Nov. 25 to Dec. 19. Jehnny Beth, Reclus.É, and A.A. Williams open on various dates throughout Europe.

Formed in 1999 by guitarist Billy Howerdel and vocalist Maynard James Keenan, A Perfect Circle quickly established themselves as a powerful new voice in alternative rock with the release of Mer de Noms (2000), which debuted at #4 on the Billboard 200 and became the highest-charting debut rock album of its time. Featuring fan favorites “Judith,” “3 Libras,” and “The Hollow,” the platinum-selling album remains a defining release.

Their catalog has continued to resonate, from Thirteenth Step (2003) and eMOTIVe (2004), to 2018’s Eat the Elephant, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200.

A SOUND OF THUNDER Announces New Full-Length Album: The Golden Hourglass

Posted in Hard Rock, hard rock bands, Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Music, music news, news with tags , , on May 22, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

BackerKit Crowdfunding Campaign Launches May 19

WASHINGTON, D.C. – American heavy metal powerhouse A Sound of Thunder has officially announced its upcoming new full-length album, The Golden Hourglass, with a fan-powered crowdfunding campaign launching May 19 on BackerKit.

The band describes The Golden Hourglass as “a melodic heavy metal album to raise your spirits and empower you to keep hope alive through adversity,” blending soaring vocals, epic storytelling, and emotionally charged songwriting into what the group calls its most ambitious and personal work to date. 

Written during one of the most difficult periods in the band’s history, The Golden Hourglass explores themes of resilience, perseverance, and finding hope in dark times. The album tells the story of the Izena, an advanced civilization facing world ending catastrophe, while simultaneously reflecting the band’s own struggles and rebirth. 

“This album is an expression of all of our feelings throughout the past few years,” shared vocalist Nina Osegueda. “There’s a little fear, some anxiety about what’s to come, but ultimately there’s a lot of hope for the future.” 

The Golden Hourglass will be the first full-length album to feature drummer Justin Finger, whose technical precision and explosive energy helped inspire what the band considers its strongest material yet. (A Sound of Thunder)

Artist Steve Stone, best known for his work on Iron Maiden’s Brave New World and Stephen King’s Dark Tower series, provides the album’s sweeping exterior and interior gatefold cover art featuring the band’s signature hourglass symbol. The album will present the cover art without title or logos to enhance its impact.

The campaign marks the band’s transition from Kickstarter to BackerKit, continuing the fully independent, fan-funded model that has sustained A Sound of Thunder for more than 15 years.

The crowdfunding campaign will feature a wide range of exclusive collector rewards, including splatter and colored vinyl editions, variant cassettes, CDs, apparel, enamel pins, embroidered patches, signed memorabilia, executive producer credits, and other limited-edition items created exclusively for supporters. 

Fans can preview music from the album and pre-order now:

Greek Gothic Rockers Blossom Death Reveal New Single and Video “Morning After”

Posted in Hard Rock, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on May 5, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Debut album “Spirit” to be released in May via The Circle Music

Heavy gothic rock band Blossom Death have released the next single and video, “Morning After”, off their upcoming debut album Spirit, which will be out on 21 May 2026 via The Circle Music. 

Watch the lyric video: https://www.side-line.com/blossom-death-morning-after-single/

Listen to “Morning After”: https://thecirclemusic.lnk.to/morningafter

Following the release of the first single “Stone Kiss” (Stream/Video), “Morning After” explores the psychological and emotional weight of reaching a breaking point. According to the band, the song centres on the concept that “when your soul hits its lowest point, then and only then, your real core can be exposed”.

Lyrically, the song navigates themes of addiction, deception, and the stark reality of the morning after a personal disaster. The track features the band’s signature blend of heavy, driving riffs and the atmospheric vocal interplay between Kostas “Corax” Katoikos and Marita Makaronidi, highlighting the band’s focus on “affection of shame” and the search for redemption through pain.

Formed in late 2018 in Varkiza, Greece, Blossom Death was established by former Sorrowful Angels frontman and lyricist Kostas “Corax” Katoikos, alongside Marita Makaronidi and drummer Argy Deligianopoulos. After debuting with the EP Mistaken in 2019, the band spent the following years expanding their line-up and refining a sound that balances heavy guitar riffs with atmospheric, melodic arrangements. 2023 saw the band release a split EP, Eon Must Fail, with In Burial. 

The upcoming album, Spirit, is a move towards more complex, emotionally charged dynamics. The tracks lean into the contrast between dark, introspective melodies and high-intensity instrumental sections, reflecting the band’s focus on themes of transformation and depth.

Spirit – track-list:

  1. Stone Kiss
  2. Fallen
  3. Morning After
  4. Solitude
  5. Spirit of Life
  6. Before I can See

Vicky Psarakis (SICKSENSE) Returns To The World Of Call Of Duty With “No One There”

Posted in gaming, Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on May 3, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Watch “No One There” HERE! https://youtu.be/g_AlO2pmAjE

Vicky Psarakis (SICKSENSE) returns to the battlefield lending her compelling melodic cleans and fierce harsh performances to “No One There“. Composed by Kevin Sherwood, “No One There” features in Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7.

On her second collaboration with Call Of Duty, Vicky Psarakis shares: 

“Surprise… I’m back Zombies! I’m so excited to be giving my voice once more to the one and only Call Of Duty franchise! You’ll find ‘No One There’ as the featured EE track on the latest BO7 map: Totenreich.

2 years ago, Kevin Sherwood invited me to feature on BO6 with the song ‘Slave’, which ended up becoming a fan favorite. We loved the track so much, we decided to add it to our setlist with my band SICKSENSE and saw many COD fans come out to hear it live. Fast forward to today, here I am again with a new song! I can’t thank Kevin enough for putting his trust and fully allowing me to bring my own stamp to his music.

I had an absolute blast working on this song! This one goes hard, I promise you. It truly showcases many different facets of my voice, a huge range of dynamics accompanied by incredible musicianship from the dream team who put this together! Who knows, maybe one day we’ll get to play ‘No One There’ for you live?”

Emerging into a discordant soundscape, “No One There” strikes into life with rhythms that leave nothing but devastation in their wake. Balancing dark emotions and untamable power, the instrumentation and vocal performance by Psarakis traverse treacherous plains culminating in an epic sonic impact. “No One There” concludes with a truly monstrous vocal display of Psarakis’ soloed screams. 

Composed by Kevin Sherwood, “No One There” was produced and mixed by Joey Doherty, with both Doherty and Sherwood performing guitars on the track. Bass was provided by Jacob Umansky and Nathan Bulla performed drums for the track. “No One There” was mastered by Tyler Smyth.

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.

OFFICER LUCIFER Presents Video For “Swallow”

Posted in grunge, Hard Rock, Metal, metal bands, metal music, metal music videos, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 21, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Watch “Swallow” HERE: https://youtu.be/PSyZx01ATfE

OFFICER LUCIFER‘s transmission continues with the new single and video, “Swallow“. The track presents an uncompromising criticism of manufactured misinformation that is designed to confuse and disorientate perceptions of reality. “Swallow” follows the release of “Far From Right” featuring Page Hamilton of HELMET.

Guitarist David Coloma comments:
“‘Swallow’ is a direct confrontation with blind obedience. A track about submission, manipulation, and the systems that thrive when people stop thinking for themselves.”

OFFICER LUCIFER‘s sound is rooted in raw aggression born from a fusion of genres including metal, punk, grunge, and Latin rhythms. “Swallow” unleashes an anguished-fueled attack of gritty distortion, driving rhythms, and melodic vocal melodies performed by Yves Myr. The song exists within OFFICER LUCIFER‘s narrative world where engineered hybrids rise up against their human creators, mirroring real-world cycles of control, corruption, and resistance.

The lyrics for “Swallow” expose a cycle of bombardment; the continuous exposure to lies, biased perspectives and fear mongering. The song confronts the unquestioned consumption and ingestion of these fabrications that leads to a perspective of existence and selfhood that is an illusion. 

Watch “Swallow” HERE: https://youtu.be/PSyZx01ATfE

Drums and bass for “Swallow” were performed by Andrés Benavides and Pancho Tomaselli and recorded by Daniel Pasquel at La Increible Sociedad – Quito, Ecuador. The track was mixed by Jesse Gander at Rain City Recorders and mastered by Jamie King. 

About OFFICER LUCIFER:

OFFICER LUCIFER is a conceptual heavy music project built on confrontation, storytelling, and sonic collision. Drawing from metal, punk, grunge, and Latin rhythmic traditions, the project creates an aggressive and immersive sound that refuses genre boundaries.

Each release exists within a dystopian narrative framework where engineered half-animal, half-machine beings turn against their human creators, reflecting themes of control, resistance, and collapse in the modern world.

The project first revealed its universe with the debut single “Uncivil War”, establishing a raw and cinematic atmosphere where chaos is not background noise but the driving force. The music is designed to feel physical and urgent, pairing crushing instrumentation with a sense of narrative tension and unrest.

OFFICER LUCIFER operates as a collective rather than a traditional band. The core creative vision is shaped by Pancho Tomaselli, David Coloma, and Andrés Benavides, musicians whose international careers span diverse projects, scenes, and stages.

Their combined experience fuels a foundation that is both disciplined and volatile. As the project evolves, additional collaborators are brought in to expand the sound, introducing new textures, voices, and perspectives without diluting the central vision.

Beyond the music, OFFICER LUCIFER functions as a fully realized world. Band members are portrayed as hybrid soldiers assigned distinct military-style ranks, reinforcing a shared identity rooted in rebellion, unity, and defiance. The result is not just a collection of songs, but a living mythos designed to confront listeners and challenge complacency.

Rest In Peace, Phil Campbell

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on March 14, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

From Official Motörhead Facebook:

We cannot believe we’re saying this… it is with profound sadness that we have to say Philip Anthony Campbell has passed.

He was Motörhead’s guitarist for 31 years (the longest serving member aside from Lemmy) having joined in 1984. After Lemmy’s passing, he was blessed to form Phil Campbell and The Bastard Sons with his sons Todd, Dane and Tyla, which recorded and toured together for years.

Phil was a wonderful guitarist, writer, performer, and musician who had Motörhead in his veins. He always led with his gift of guitar, and carried a great sense of humour, but most of all, Phil led with his heart. You could not be around him without a chuckle or twenty, because quite simply, Phil loved life and lived it with great joy.

There will be plenty of time for us to share stories -tales of Campbell glory- and some damn good jokes together; for now, please send love and positive energy to Gaynor and the boys while affording them time, space, and privacy.

Much love and RIP Phil. The world has just lost an enormous beam of light, and we are devastated.

God Bless the soul of Phil Campbell. Love and light to the entire Campbell family.
