Hungarian speed maniacs TÜRBÖWITCH have announced that their third full-length album, Under Haunted Skies, will be released on March 20th, 2026, via Time To Kill Records.
The new record marks a decisive step forward for the Budapest-based band, further refining the uncompromising attitude and relentless live energy that have earned them a strong reputation within the European underground. With Under Haunted Skies, TÜRBÖWITCH deliver their most focused and ferocious material to date: a concentrated blast of massive riffs, breakneck tempos and instinctive urgency.
Rooted in blackened speed-thrash, the album draws from the raw savagery and punk-fueled aggression of acts like Midnight, the razor-sharp thrash precision of The Crown, and the dark melodic drive of Hellripper, while maintaining a clearly identifiable personality. Melodic accents cut through the chaos, adding depth and character without ever dulling the band’s visceral impact.
Faithful to their no-compromise ethos, TÜRBÖWITCH channel the spirit of ’80s extreme metal through a modern sense of immediacy, delivering songs that are fast, filthy and built for maximum impact. With Time To Kill Records backing the release of Under Haunted Skies, the band are poised to bring their unholy speed assault to a wider audience, while remaining firmly rooted in the reckless intensity that has defined them since day one.
“The moment of evil’s arrival. Markoláb, the Devourer of the celestial sphere of old folklore, sweeps across the earth. Human civilization collapses into dust: fire, shadow, and unavoidable destruction. The apocalypse is no longer a prophecy, it is reality”.
Track-list:
01 – Evoker of the Twilight 02 – Markoláb 03 – Under Haunted Skies 04 – Cult Mastery 05 – Ashbringer 06 – Highways of Death 07 – Ultimate Failure of Will 08 – When the World Crumbled 09 – Moshpit at the End of the Day 10 – Road to Resilience
Australian-Finnish dark progressive gothic metal collective THE ETERNAL celebrates the release of their new, critically-acclaimed EP, entitled “Celestial“, that is out now on powerhouse label Reigning Phoenix Music.
To mark the day, the band have unveiled an official music video for “Celestial Veil”, a track that highlights their talent for slow-burning heaviness and emotional depth. The EP is available digitally and as a limited, eco-friendly recycled vinyl LP edition (exclusively available through the band’s official store and the RPM shop).
Built on restrained weight and a drifting sense of atmosphere, the new single “Celestial Veil” unfolds like a moment suspended in time. The video mirrors this feeling through cosmic imagery, light meets vast darkness, visually reinforcing the song’s themes of loss, distance, and fragile connection.
Featuring celestial metaphors, “Celestial Veil” captures the longing and grief of separation. As stars fade and time stands still, the song reveals that love, though fragile and doomed, remains a luminous force: eternal in memory and dreams beyond the darkness.
“The lyrics of “Celestial Veil” depict a meditation on loss, memory, and the cosmic inevitability of separation,” the band reveals. “They weave imagery of stars, constellations, and light fading into darkness to reflect the fragility of human connection and the grief of distance between two souls. The recurring theme of time standing still suggests moments of longing suspended against the vastness of the universe, while the celestial metaphors frame love and loss as forces written in the stars, beautiful yet doomed. Despite despair and fading light, Mark clings to memory and dreams, revealing both the pain of absence and the enduring pull of an eternal, though fragile, bond.”

Following the success of their acclaimed 2024 album Skinwalker,THE ETERNAL now return with their new EP Celestial. Continuing their signature fusion of melancholic atmospheres, doom-laden heaviness, and progressive depth, the band once again delivers an emotive and cinematic journey through sound and spirit, unafraid to embrace both beauty and bleakness while charting new creative horizons.
With Mark Kelson (vocals/guitars) and Richie Poate (guitars) in Melbourne, joined by Niclas Etelävuori (bass, ex-Amorphis/Flat Earth) and Jan Rechberger (drums, Amorphis) in Helsinki, THE ETERNAL have solidified themselves as a truly international collaboration. Their music resonates with fans of acts such as Katatonia, Swallow the Sun, and Anathema – dark yet luminous, heavy yet emotionally transcendent!
Spain’s ferocious melodic death metal act BLOODHUNTER are back with a vengeance. Following their recent signing with ROAR – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music, the band now present the first grim taste of what’s to come: their brand-new video single “The Devil’s Own”!
Forged in Galicia, BLOODHUNTER have carved out a strong position within the international extreme metal scene through uncompromising songwriting, intense live performances and a clear artistic vision. Fronted by the unmistakable Diva Satanica, the band fuse razor-sharp riffing, massive grooves and sweeping melodies with a fierce vocal attack and strong conceptual identity.
“The Devil’s Own” shows BLOODHUNTER pushing beyond familiar territory. The track blends oppressive heaviness with haunting melodic lines, creating an atmosphere that feels both brutally aggressive and eerily beautiful. It is darker, more personal and more daring than anything the band have released so far, while still hitting with unmistakable BLOODHUNTER force.
Visually, the accompanying video mirrors the song’s inner conflict and darkness, underlining the emotional weight of the track while embracing the band’s extreme-metal aesthetic.
Diva Satanica explains the intense personal background behind the song: “I wrote the lyrics while being on my last tour in South America with another band. It was a very intense period of my life when I had to take some of the hardest decisions in my career, so it speaks about that. It was one of our faves since the beginning because it’s very different from what we’ve done so far: it’s pure evil but with lots of beautiful melodies.”
After joining forces withROAR, “The Devil’s Own”serves as a first harbinger of BLOODHUNTER’s upcoming new album, which will be released in the hopefully not-too-distant future. If this single is any indication, the next record will be the band’s most fearless and uncompromising statement yet!
“Dear Fans, we have just received the very sad news that our longtime friend and bass player, Francis Buchholz, has passed away. His legacy with the band will live on forever, and we will always remember the many good times we have shared together. Our hearts go out to Hella, his family, and friends.” R.I.P. Francis. Klaus, Rudolf, Matthias

Metal Odyssey expresses condolences to the family of Francis Buchholz, Scorpions, his friends and fans worldwide.

LEAVES’ EYES open a new chapter in 2026 with the release of their upcoming EP Song Of Darkness! The band now unveils the title track and EP opener together with an epic new video, offering the first full glimpse into this next creative cycle.
Recorded at Mastersound Studio under the production of band mastermind Alexander Krull, the EP expands the group’s trademark fusion of orchestral depth and metallic intensity. It captures LEAVES’ EYES at a moment of artistic strength, balancing sweeping symphonic arrangements with an earthy, human pulse.
Lyrically, Song Of Darkness travels along the shifting borders between myth, magic, and history. The title track itself draws inspiration from the medieval Icelandic saga of Gisli the Outlaw, leading listeners into a world of murder, intrigue, guilt-ridden dreams, and the hope for redemption.
The LEAVES’ EYES vocalists share about the new single: “Our Song of Darkness transports you to a world of dark dreams and inner turmoil, where mystical spirits from ancient times guide your destiny,” says Alexander Krull, and adds it’s: “A tragic love story, but no happy ending.”
Elina Siirala comments: “Song of Darkness is like a play with contrasts…it combines the mysterious and dark with light and angelic. In the midst of a dark story, there’s a feeling of hopefulness! The opposing elements create once again a perfect canvas and drama for a Leaves’ Eyes song!”
Each track on Song Of Darkness unfolds like a chapter in a saga, cinematic in scale yet personal in emotion. Elina Siirala’s commanding performance brings the stories to life, illuminating the storm of sound around her, while Krull’s growls ground the music with raw force.
Towering choirs and strings rise beside crushing riffs, with folk-inspired melodies weaving through the dark. From the orchestral grandeur of its opening moments to the final echo of its closing refrain, the EP builds an atmosphere defined by tension, release, and the timeless pull of legend.
With its mix of mythic storytelling, emotional depth, and powerful symphonic metal, Song Of Darkness showcases LEAVES’ EYES at full strength. The EP arrives March 6, 2026 via Reigning Phoenix Music. In support of Song Of Darkness, the band will be playing a series of European and UK dates with special guests CATALYST CRIME, and many more dates to follow. Find all upcoming shows listed below!

The powerful new single is out now, taken from the upcoming album Phoenix, out April 10, 2026 via Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group
Spanish melodic Hard Rock band XTASY open an exciting new chapter of their career with “Too Late”, their brand-new single out now on all digital platforms, together with the official lyric video.
“Too Late” is the first full statement from XTASY’s forthcoming studio album Phoenix, set for release on April 10, 2026, distributed worldwide by Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. The song perfectly captures the band’s renewed energy and sets the tone for what promises to be their most focused and ambitious release to date.
“Too Late” highlights everything that defines XTASY’s sound today. The track is co-written by Silvia Idoate, Carles Salse, Jorge Olloqui, and Erik Mårtensson, who also handled mixing and mastering at his Mass Destruction Studios in Sölleron, Sweden. The result is a song that combines emotional intensity with infectious hooks, representing what can be expected from the full album Phoenix.
Formed in Navarra, Spain, in 2011, XTASY have spent more than a decade building a solid international reputation across Europe and Japan through consistent releases, energetic live shows and a long-standing collaboration with Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse). Their upcoming album Phoenix represents the culmination of that journey: a collection of ten brand-new tracks, written during creative sessions in Sweden and showcasing a band at the peak of its creative confidence.
Phoenix also marks an important evolution in the band’s lineup, with the addition of Javi Herrero (Zenobia) on drums and David Zarzosa on bass, bringing fresh power, groove, and momentum to XTASY’s sound and live performances.
Following the success of their live CD/DVD Live of the Storm, which documented a 30+ date European tour, XTASY are now preparing to return to the stage with the Phoenix Tour, taking them across Europe throughout 2026. The tour will include festival appearances and club shows, further confirming XTASY as one of the most solid and exciting Melodic Hard Rock acts on the European Melodic Rock scene today.
Here are the first confirmed shows of the Phoenix tour:
21.02.26 – San Sebastian (ES) – Festival Heavy Jaia 14.05.26 – Barberaz (FR) – Brin de Zinc 15.05.26 – Basel (CH) – Valhalla Rock Bar 16.05.26 – Mels (St. Gallen) (CH) – Stage Am Bach 17.05.26 – Eisden-Maasmechelen (BE) – Ragnarok 19.05.26 – Dessau (DE) – Tbc 21.05.26 – Mörlenbach (DE) – Live Music Hall 22.05.26 – Aichach (DE) – Brandner Kaspar 23.05.26 – Lenzburg (CH) – Wisa Bar 16.10.26 – Vitoria (ES) – Urban Rock Concept 18.10.26 – Madrid (ES) – Rockville 21.11.26 – Pamplona (ES) – Canalla
With “Too Late” and Phoenix set for release on April 10, 2026, XTASY are ready to rise once again, stronger, sharper, and more determined than ever.
