A Powerful Blend Of Reflection, Emotion And The Timeless Spirit Of Hard Rock

Stream/Watch “Leave It All Behind” HERE! https://sinner.rpm.link/behindPR

Pre-Order The Album HERE! https://sinner.rpm.link/boomPR

With “Leave It All Behind“, SINNER present the next single from their upcoming and final studio album, Boom Bang Goodbye, set for release on July 31, 2026, via RPM. The track begins with the atmosphere of a classic power ballad and gradually builds in intensity before culminating in a soaring, anthemic refrain. Combining ’80s-inspired melodies with a powerful modern sound, the song brings the kind of emotional dynamics that hard rock fans have always cherished.

Mat Sinner comments:
“As a child of the 80s, this song fits perfectly into the soundscape I envisioned. 80s vibes and an ultra-fat, modern sound. Groovy, driving. It was a blast to make this song. My friend Ronnie Romero really outdid himself. What an incredible vocal performance, hats off to him!” 

The accompanying video perfectly complements “Leave It All Behind”. Alongside Ronnie Romero and Mat Sinner, it features Alex Scholpp, Jim Müller, Leonie Jakobi, Sascha Krebs, as well as Thalia Bellazecca and André Hilgers (PRIMAL FEAR). Together, the performance footage captures exactly what “Leave It All Behind” is all about – emotion, energy and the visible joy of making music together.

Lyrically, “Leave It All Behind” looks back on times gone by while dealing with memories, transience and the act of letting go. Lines such as “Do you remember our wild days?” and “I leave it all behind” give the song a reflective touch without losing sight of what lies ahead.

With Ronnie Romero on vocals, “Leave It All Behind” delivers a fierce impact. His passionate performance carries the emotive tension between the calmer moments of the verses and the energetic peaks of the song, adding a fiery quality to the sound.

Once again, the album’s core musicians, Ronnie Romero (lead & backing vocals), Mat Sinner (bass & vocals), Alex Scholpp (guitars & lead guitars), Lisa Müller (keyboards) and Moritz Müller (drums), leave their unmistakable mark.

Following “Wait”, featuring Michael Bormann on vocals, “Leave It All Behind” is another taste of Boom Bang Goodbye; the final chapter of an extraordinary career. After more than four decades, 19 studio albums and countless international tours, Mat Sinner and his longtime companions are preparing one final musical statement.

Boom Bang Goodbye will be released on July 31, 2026, and can be pre-ordered here: https://sinner.rpm.link/boomPR
 
The new single “Leave It All Behind” is now available on all streaming platforms: https://sinner.rpm.link/behindPR

METALADIAN Unleashes Ferocious Title Track Single “Deaditation” Ahead of Debut Album Out On Canada Day!

Hamilton, Ontario, extreme‑metal outfit METALADIAN erupt with the release of “Deaditation,” the ferocious and hypnotic title track single from their upcoming debut album out on Canada Day, July 1st, 2026. After more than twenty years of composing, refining, and shaping the band’s sound, composer, lead vocalist, and drummer Andrew Brophy finally unveils the first official chapter of METALADIAN’s long‑awaited recorded legacy.

“Deaditation” is METALADIAN’s most aggressive and unrelenting work, a dizzying, chromatic, multi‑vocal assault built on a three‑stage structure: plateau, ascension, descent. Each time the cycle restarts, the tempo subtly increases, dragging listeners deeper into a spiralling frenzy.

“The interplay between vocalists is quick, dizzying and hypnotizing… the music is incrementally and constantly gaining momentum, driving the track to a spiralling frenzy by the final descent,” adds Brophy.

Lyrically, the single paints a blackened world where victims reclaim power through a psychic retaliation, a Deaditation, forcing abusers to feel the pain they inflicted “100,000 fold.” Musically, it opens with riotous crowd samples, chromatic bass lines, droning harmonies, ripping feedback, and a tribal drum solo that launches the track into its relentless progression.

Fans of extreme metal, progressive death metal, and classical‑influenced metal will immediately recognize the ambition and precision behind the single.

Listen to the lyric video for “Deaditation” at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hjKm_7NoCs

Arriving July 1, 2026, “Deaditation”is the culmination of more than two decades of writing. Brophy began composing the framework on classical guitar in 2003, later expanding the material into a full three‑album arc.

Track Listing:

  1. Left Hand Path – 9:44
  2. Deaditation – 6:21
  3. No Worse Death Than The Loss Of All Hope – (Wondering Why I Wonder Why) – 7:35
  4. Confrontation With God – 11:59
  5. Cure For Judgement – 6:51
  6. Welcome To Your Holy Hell – 8:49
    Album Length: 51:19

The debut album is a story‑driven descent and ascent, moving through spiteful violence, spiralling depression, suicidal ideation, 
confrontation with God, revenge, and finally, redemption.

“The album is drenched in violence and darkness, but with a hint of light that begins to show itself as the album progresses,” says Brophy.

Musically, the record is dense, chromatic, harmonically lush, and rhythmically punishing. Vocally, all four members contribute in a rapid‑fire call‑and‑response style: Andrew Brophy (drums, lead vocals) with melodic leads and rhythmic anchors, Dustin Smith (bass) brings guttural, ogre‑like lows, Dan Brophy (guitar) adds vicious, rabid‑dog riot vocals and Ruth Guechtal (guitar) exports ripping, high‑screeching screams. The result is a massive, layered vocal machine unlike anything in the Canadian metal landscape.

METALADIAN formed in Hamilton, Ontario, as the vehicle for Andrew Brophy’s intricate compositions, music that blends thrash, death, progressive, and technical metal with the darker works of classical composers such as Bartók, Penderecki, Mussorgsky, Stravinsky, Beethoven, and Mahler.

“Metaladian is my passion, my main source of creativity and catharsis for years,” adds Brophy.

Their sound is best described as complex, emotional, heavy, dark, and hypnotizing. The band’s lineup is deeply interconnected: Andrew and guitarist Dan are brothers, Ruth (guitar) is Dan’s wife, and Dustin (bass) is their “metal brother from another mother.”

All four also perform in the Hamilton extreme‑theatre metal act 30 Immolated; 16 Returned, and three members hold classical‑music degrees, including two doctorates in composition.

Recommended for fans of Strapping Young Lad, Metallica (early), Suffocation, Bela Bartok, and Ludwig Van Beethoven, METALADIAN’s “Deaditation” is available for pre-order at: https://metaladian.bandcamp.com/

MONOLORD AND DUNABLE GUITARS LAUNCH SIGNATURE GUITAR And BASS

Posted in doom metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 22, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Monolord, who are currently in the midst of a U.S. tour following the release of their new album, Neverending, have partnered with Dunable Guitars for a pair of signature model instruments: Dunable USA Custom Gnarwhal and R2 Bass.

Monolord have been great friends of Dunable Guitars for almost a decade, using the brand’s guitars and basses as weapons of choice for their torrential downpour of heavy tones and catchy hooks live and in the studio. Neverending is a perfect showcase of their mastery in blending loud metal with great songwriting, and similarly an encapsulation of what Dunable instruments were built for. 

Artist signature models for Thomas Jäger and Mika Hakki are long overdue, and Dunable is happy to finally present their Dunable USA Custom Gnarwhal and R2 Bass signature instruments, limited to only six of each model.

“Mika and I have been playing our Dunables for a couple of years now and to get your own instrument with your own specifications, it’s pure magic,” Jäger says. “These instruments came out great and we’re absolutely stoked.”

Hakki adds: “After years of using and owning several Dunable Guitars, it’s a great privilege to be part of the Dunable team with this amazing instrument. When Sacha Dunable asked us what color options we wanted for the instruments, I just saw this sick scorched bass in my mind, and he got probably equally as stoked on the idea as we did. Great minds twist alike!”

These guitars and basses feature a custom Monolord Icon graphic on the headstock, tuxedo stripe pickguard, and a charred Swamp Ash body, giving a classy yet grizzled look to these weapons of doom. 

The single High-Wind P90 pickup in Jäger’s Gnarwhal comes from Lollar Pickups, a company whose founder literally wrote the book on pickup winding. The P90 lends itself incredibly well to all applicable tones, from loud cleans to ultra heavy fuzz and distortion.

Hakki’s R2 Bass comes in two pickup variants – one with dual Dunable Katana pickups, for a hot output, but sharp attack, and one with a Dunable D-Split and D-J pickup combo, for a more traditional sound.

LAZARUS EFFECT: Former Symphony X Bassist Thomas Miller Launches New Solo Project And Signs With Sensory Records ~ Debut Album Due This Year

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on June 19, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Prominent progressive metal label Sensory Records proudly announces the signing of LAZARUS EFFECT, the new solo project of former Symphony X bassist Thomas Miller.

“I’m very excited to announce, after years of contemplating and eventually writing and recording my first solo project, the signing to Sensory Records,” Miller writes. “After speaking and collaborating with Ken Golden, I’ve decided it’s the perfect team to launch the CD and start the promotions for a Fall 2026 release. I met Ken in 1998, while still in Symphony X, and always had it in the back of my mind that, if I did decide to record and release an album, he’d be at the top of the list.”

“I hope everyone is as excited as I am. Between recording with some of my old friends and bandmates to finding the perfect match in Sensory Records to give it the proper attention and promotional care I was hoping for. So, the new chapter has begun, and I’m looking forward to a prosperous future relationship with Sensory Records and re-connecting with the old fans as well as new ones. Stay tuned.”

Label owner Ken Golden states, “I was a fan of Symphony X early on and met Thomas back in 1998. Those Symphony X albums were part of my introduction into the world of progressive metal and instantly won me over. Thomas was a vital part of the band’s sound, and I feel that the LAZARUS EFFECT project is going to surprise and excite fans of Symphony X and Thomas’ brilliant bass work.”

Thomas Miller started his music career in central New Jersey and played in numerous cover and original bands influenced by progressive bands from the 1970s and 1980s. In 1986, he met Michael Romeo, a local progressive and classically influenced guitarist, whom he then recorded and played out in several bands with. In 1994, they formed Symphony X and recruited the rest of the band members to complete the lineup and sign with Japanese record label, Zero Records.

After international critical acclaim for their albums Symphony X, Damnation Game, The Divine Wings Of Tragedy, Twilight In Olympus, and A Prelude To The New Millenium, they did various tour dates in Japan, Europe, and NYC. Shortly afterwards, due to personal issues, Thomas stepped away from the band.

Continually writing and recording on various projects and honing his writing skills, Miller collaborated on a recording project with vocalist Hollywood How Portney in 2017, who had recorded with several local bands and labels including Megaforce Records. After interactions with fans over the years and realizing his chemistry with How, he decided to start writing for the LAZARUS EFFECT project.

He then asked Michael Romeo and Michael Pinnella to lend their recording talents to the project, and then Eric Rachel, producer of Symphony X’s first six albums, to mix and master the album. The result is music and lyrics inspired by majestic themes, progressive metal, and various musical overtones.

With the album fully complete, Thomas is now starting to promote the release of the album and working in collaboration with The Lasers Edge Group’s distribution and promotional team. The LAZARUS EFFECT debut is currently being finalized for release early this Fall. Expect additional details, previews of the album, and more to begin posting during the Summer.

SEA SLEEPER – Unleashes New Single “Lunar Degenerates” From Forthcoming Album Burden of Antlers

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , on June 17, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Watch “Lunar Degenerates” HERE! https://youtu.be/qpiheAsPgTk

Heavy, atmospheric, and built for maximum neck damage, SEA SLEEPER return with their new single, “Lunar Degenerates,” the latest preview of their forthcoming sophomore album, Burden of Antlers, set for release on September 18, 2026.

“Lunar Degenerates” captures the band at their most visceral and dynamic, fusing classic crunchy, bang-your-head riffage with the expansive progressive weight that has become a defining part of SEA SLEEPER’s sound. The track also leans into the band’s long-running Mastodon influence, particularly the Crack the Skye-esque textures that have surfaced across both of their albums.

The band calls “Lunar Degenerates” “easily the funnest song on the record to play,” pointing to its high-energy riffs, shifting atmosphere, and explosive return from an ambient passage back into the main riff as one of the song’s standout moments.

With its mix of brute force, spacey atmosphere, and locked-in rhythmic power, “Lunar Degenerates” offers another glimpse into the world of Burden of Antlers, an album that promises to expand SEA SLEEPER’s sonic range, while staying rooted in the crushing, riff-forward heaviness that first defined them.

Burden of Antlers – Track-list:

  1. Machines of the Bombing Run 
  2. Manifestor 
  3. Lunar Degenerates 
  4. Abysmal Trench 
  5. Burden of Antlers 
  6. They’ll Miss You 
  7. Coma 
  8. Husk 

About SEA SLEEPER:

With a passion for death and post metal, SEA SLEEPER infuse their heavy sound with an array of genre influences to produce something more dynamically extreme. The band formed in 2019 comprised of Jesse Cooley (guitar/lead vocals), Shane Cooley (drums/vocals), and Nick Kessler (bass/vocals), with Tony Spradlin (lead guitar/vocals) subsequently completing the line-up in 2022. 

The debut EP Nihilism was released independently in 2019, followed by their acclaimed debut album Nostophobia. Released in 2021 via Metal Assault Records, Nostophobia garnered notable recognition achieving the #7 spot for album of the year at GBHBL in 2021, as well as seeing the band become a Top Selling Bandcamp artist in the same year.

BLOODHUNTER Release New Album Sons Of The Abandoned Today and Unveil New Video “Masters Of Deceive”

Spanish melodic death metal powerhouse BLOODHUNTER have officially released their brand-new studio album “Sons Of The Abandoned” via ROAR – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music.  

Marking this milestone, the band are not only kicking off a run of Spanish live dates alongside CRYPTA today, but are also premiering a brand-new music video for “Masters Of Deceive”, one of the album’s most dynamic and emotionally charged tracks. 

Guitarist Dani Arcos comments: “This song is insane. We mixed guttural and melodic vocals, slow and melodic choruses with the most extreme riffs on the album… and there’s even a recorded piano that you only realize has been there the whole time at the end of the song.”

Vocalist Diva Satánica adds: “This song includes my very first clean backing vocals in BLOODHUNTER. I really wanted to give it a try because it represented the eternal disappointment of people trying to pull out from me a different version of myself but which I didn’t really feel identified with as a vocalist. This song speaks about toxic environments and how hard is to step out from there to follow your own path. It was the first song that we wrote for this album: it goes from a very dramatic chorus to the most enraged verses, to represent the complex dynamics in a relationship.”

BLOODHUNTER – Masters Of Deceive (Official Music Video): https://youtu.be/6bnYKLa_Jgo

Formed in Galicia, BLOODHUNTER have steadily carved their name into the international extreme metal scene through relentless touring, uncompromising sound and a clear artistic vision. Fronted by Diva Satanica, the band blends extreme metal aggression with melodic depth, groove and narrative ambition, forging a sound that is both ferocious and emotionally charged. 

Since their inception, BLOODHUNTER have stood out for their conceptual approach and strong identity. Their music has always balanced brutality with atmosphere, drawing from themes such as ancient civilizations, power, human conflict and transcendence. Over the years, the band has evolved naturally, refining their songwriting and pushing beyond genre boundaries without losing their aggressive core.

“Sons Of The Abandoned”, produced by Tue Madsen, marks a turning point in BLOODHUNTER’s career. It is their most personal and honest album so far, shifting the focus inward to explore identity, vulnerability, personal struggle and the cost of pursuing one’s own path.

For the first time, the lyrics speak directly from the heart, addressing inner demons, toxic environments, generational disconnection and the feeling of being lost in a world driven by individuality and superficial values. Musically, the album expands the band’s palette. Crushing riffs coexist with elegant grooves and striking melodic passages, while sharp contrasts define the songwriting: rage against beauty, speed against atmosphere, darkness against clarity.

http://bloodhunter.rpm.link/sonsPR

With “Sons Of The Abandoned”, BLOODHUNTER solidify themselves as a band unafraid to evolve, challenge expectations and expose their own scars. This is not just another extreme metal album, it is a statement of identity, resistance and survival in a world that constantly demands compromise.

IRA BLACK Enters A New Era With APOCÆLYPSE’S Debut Single “INTELL-I-GENTS”

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

Mind Melting Metal Project Led By Ira Black (Vio-Lence, Lizzy Borden, Metal Church) Unveils First Glimpse Of Upcoming Full-Length Album

Created and fronted by veteran guitarist Ira Black (Vio-Lence, Metal Church, I Am Morbid, Lizzy Borden, Westfield Massacre), APOCÆLYPSE represents a bold new chapter in his career. Stepping beyond his celebrated role as a guitarist, Black takes center stage as vocalist, songwriter, and creative architect, delivering a sound that merges crushing modern metal with cinematic atmosphere and thought-provoking themes.

“INTELL-I-GENTS” serves as the band’s introduction and a statement of intent. Driven by towering riffs, industrial textures, and anthemic melodies, the song explores the growing influence of artificial intelligence, digital surveillance, and society’s increasingly complex relationship with technology. Equal parts cautionary tale and futuristic metal anthem, the track offers a glimpse into the conceptual depth that defines APOCÆLYPSE’s vision.

“INTELL-I-GENTS” Single Artwork

Commenting on the incendiary new song, Black states: 

“Intell-I-Gents’ is my transmission from the edge of a world quietly handing its pulse to machines, where convenience becomes consent and intelligence starts writing the rules we live by. I fused Industrial/Metal weight with Electronic pulse to mirror that tension: a human heartbeat colliding with an algorithm that never sleeps. This song isn’t a warning from the future, it’s a mirror held to right now, asking who’s really in control as we cross the line.” 

The accompanying music video, directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films and co-directed by Black, brings the song’s themes to life through a striking visual narrative that reflects the tension between humanity and the rapidly evolving digital world.

APOCÆLYPSE features a powerhouse lineup led by Ira Black alongside his son, guitarist Ira Black IV, whose classical training and technical prowess bring a unique dynamic to the band’s sound. Rounding out the lineup are bassist Matt Snell (formerly of Five Finger Death Punch) and drummer Lonny Pasillas (formerly of Deadsett and Kill Devil Hill). Together, the group blends decades of experience with a forward-thinking approach, crafting modern metal that is both crushingly heavy and ambitiously expansive. 

Further elevating the band’s debut is acclaimed producer and mixer Kane Churko, whose work on “INTELL-I-GENTS” delivers the track’s massive sonic impact. Renowned for collaborations with Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch and Disturbed, Churko helps shape a sound that balances crushing heaviness with contemporary clarity and precision.

The song was then mastered by Maor Appelbaum (Rob Halford, Testament, Sabaton), whose expert touch brings additional depth, power, and polish to the final mix, ensuring “INTELL-I-GENTS” hits with maximum impact.

“INTELL-I-GENTS” is the first of several singles scheduled for release throughout the summer as APOCÆLYPSE prepares to unveil their forthcoming debut album. The ten-song record is expected to arrive across digital platforms later this year, with additional music videos, live appearances, and touring plans to be announced in the coming months.

With its combination of modern metal power, cinematic ambition, and fearless subject matter, APOCÆLYPSE emerges as a new force ready to challenge expectations and confront the future head-on.
