Frontiers Music is proud to announce the signing of glam-metal trailblazers Zinny J. Zan and Harry Cody — founding members of Shotgun Messiah — reunited after 35 years. Welcome Zan/Cody to the family!
With a legacy built on rebellion, raw energy, and attitude, the duo is back in the studio, ready to pick up where they left off. Their 1989 self-titled debut helped define a generation of high-octane rock, and now they return with brand new music that stays true to their hard-hitting roots while embracing the grit of today’s rock landscape.
Expect swagger and uncompromising rock & roll spirit.
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.
“Tales From The Pusciverse #2: The Briefcase” cover featuring artwork by Marlin Shoop
March 11, 2026 – The Pusciverse continues to expand with the arrival of “Tales From The Pusciverse #2: The Briefcase.” The new installment follows the immediate sell-out of the series’ debut issue, which introduced the character Bellendia Black and quickly moved through two printings.
The second issue centers on one of the longest running mysteries in the Pusciverse… The Briefcase. For years, the object has appeared in Puscifer’s videos and photographs, prompting the recurring question among fans: “What’s in the briefcase?”
Written by Maynard James Keenan, the new issue features artwork by Marlin Shoop (“Captain Action,” “G.I. Joe,” “Unprepped”) with lettering by Jack Morelli (“Afterlife with Archie,” “Peter Parker Annual,” Marvel Comics).
“The Briefcase has been part of the Puscifer mythology for years,” Keenan notes. “Everyone wonders what exactly is inside. This issue doesn’t necessarily answer the question… but it moves the story forward.”
“Issue #2 pulls you deeper into the mystery of the briefcase, and illustrating that chaos was half the fun,” Shoop shares.
Issue #2 also marks the Pusciverse comics debut of Major Douché, one of the earliest and most recognizable figures in the Pusciverse. The character first appeared ahead of Puscifer’s 2009 Las Vegas residency, the band’s live debut, and later appeared in the “V is for Versatile” concert film.
“Tales From The Pusciverse” comics are available exclusively via Puscifer.com.
Puscifer’s new album, Normal Isn’t, is out now via Puscifer Entertainment/Alchemy Recordings/BMG. The band’s North American tour launches on March 20 with tickets on-sale here.
We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the great Tommy DeCarlo.
Tommy will forever be remembered by fans around the world as the powerful voice behind the album ‘Life, Love & Hope’ with Boston, as well as for the other music that he created with us. Through the years we had the privilege of working with him on several releases, including ‘Lightning Strikes Twice’ and his solo album, ‘Dancing In The Moonlight’.
Tommy also joined us on stage at the Frontiers Rock Festival in 2019, delivering a memorable performance that perfectly captured his passion for music and connection with the fans.
Beyond his extraordinary voice, Tommy was a kind and genuine person who will be greatly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing and working with him.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, bandmates, and fans around the world.
We’re excited to announce that we have another new song exclusively available on our website! It’s called “Midnight Gasoline”. Check it out and let us know what you think. Thanks for supporting FireHouse!
March 3, 2026 – Held., the trio featuring Douglas Robinson and Sal Mignano of The Sleeping, alongside Coheed And Cambria’s Josh Eppard, have released “CONSTANT TENSION” (https://held.ffm.to/constanttension), the second preview from their forthcoming debut album, GREY (May 15, MNRK Heavy).
The five-minute track arrives on the heels of the band’s debut single, “NEW YOU ANTHEM FT. FRANK IERO,” which Revolver praised for its “lightning-strike guitar… and thunderous drums,” Alternative Press dubbed as “rousing,” and idobi called a “dazzling post-hardcore tune.”
Where Held.’s introduction leaned into catharsis through connection, “CONSTANT TENSION” presents a more unsettled dynamic. Directed by Adam Thomson, the accompanying video builds on the story arc introduced with “NEW YOU ANTHEM,” providing a sci-fi-esque visual companion to the themes behind GREY.
“CONSTANT TENSION’ stems from an everlasting battle within myself to embrace who I am via internal reflection,” Robinson explains. “It’s all of my strengths fighting against all of my weaknesses. There is a ‘constant tension,’ a violent push and pull within my mind every single day. I let myself down so much, to the point where I often feel like I have to somewhat abandon myself and step outside to try and see the bigger picture, but the hurt inside of me pulls me back into my own thoughts. I go completely blank to try and focus, which oddly enough resorts to more tension, and more clouded thoughts. It feels like an endless cycle. The lyrics to ‘CONSTANT TENSION’ mirror all of this.”
The band has also announced an intimate GREY listening party this Thursday, March 5, at Selva in Brooklyn. Held. will be on hand from 7 to 10 p.m. and no RSVP is required.
On GREY, Held. channel decades of collective experience into a debut that reflects both creative evolution and personal reckoning. “The album as a whole truly feels like it’s everything I have ever wanted to write in my time growing as a musician,” Robinson says. “This record has, in many ways, healed me…. or, it’s at least trying to.”
Produced and mixed by Jon Markson (Drug Church, Drain, The Story So Far), GREY was recorded at the Animal Farm in Flemington, N.J.
Album pre-orders, including multiple limited-edition vinyl variants, are available now: https://held.ffm.to/grey.
Held. is Douglas Robinson (vocals/guitar), Sal Mignano (bass) and Josh Eppard (drums)

Following the release of their critically-acclaimed, twelfth studio album Leo Rising, Canada’s DANKO JONES continue their roaring celebrations with the launch of the new music video for “I Love It Louder” and unveil dates for the “Rising Tour 2026“. Released through PERCEPTION – A Division of Reigning Phoenix Music and Sonic Unyon (Canada), Leo Rising may be their most electrifying and uplifting record yet, and is certain to energize venues across Europe and the UK this fall.
DANKO JONES comments on the forthcoming tour: “We are bursting at the seams to let the world know we are going out on the road this fall to play our songs for you! Our new album, Leo Rising, is just too fun to play live for us to stop, so get your tickets now before they’re all gone (like our last fall tour). See you on the road!! And we’re taking out SPLIT DOGS to open up the tour so you know this tour is gonna rule!!”
Tour Dates: 12.10 · Potsdam (DE) · Waschhaus 13.10 · Nürnberg (DE) · Löwensaal 14.10 · Vienna (AT) · Flex 15.10 · Budapest (HU) · A38 16.10 · Bucharest (RO) · Quantic 17.10 · Sofia (BG) · Pirotska 5 Event Center 19.10 · Cluj (RO)· Form Space 21.10 · Zagreb (HR) · Vintage Industrial Bar 22.10 · Ljubljana (SI) · Kino Siska 23.10 · Salzburg (AT) · Hi Rockhouse 27.10 · Oberhausen (DE) · Turbinenhalle 2 28.10 · Ghent (BE) · Handelsbeurs 29.10 · Frankfurt (DE) · Batschkapp 30.10 · Haarlem (NL) · Patronaat 31.10 · Tilburg (NL) · Next StagE 01.11 · Leeuwarden (NL) · Neusoorn 03.11 · Saarbrücken (DE) · Garage 05.11 · London (UK) · Garage* 07.11 · Manchester (UK) · Rebellion*
Special guest: LOS PEPES (without SPLIT DOGS)
Produced to perfection by longtime collaborator Eric Ratz, the trio’s new studio offering Leo Rising is a masterclass in sweat-soaked, no-nonsense rock. Packed with razor-sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and infectious hooks, the album reaffirms that DANKO JONES are keeping rock alive by doing it better than anyone else.
John Calabrese laid down bass tracks from Finland, Rich Knox flew to Toronto to record drums, and Danko worked with producer Eric Ratz in the same city to capture vocals and guitars. Despite recording separately once again, the band’s chemistry is unmistakable. The result is pure DANKO JONES: tight, loud, and built for the stage.
February 23, 2026 – Tomahawk return to the road this summer for their first live performances in 13 years, with the month-long U.S. run marking the band’s 25th anniversary and reuniting Tomahawk with labelmates the Melvins for their first tour together since 2003’s “Geek Show” trek.
Featuring Duane Denison, Mike Patton, John Stanier, and Trevor Dunn, Tomahawk last toured in support of 2013’s Oddfellows before returning in 2021 with Tonic Immobility, which was released during the pandemic and never performed live.
Denison says of the upcoming outing: “In the spirit of the Olympics, Team Tomahawk has decided to rise up and go for the gold once again – also competing will be our cohorts the Melvins.”
“This tour is a no brainer. I can’t wait. A Melvins/Tomahawk trek will be a stone groove,” says Buzz Osborne, who brings the Melvins out in their four-piece incarnation featuring Osborne, Dale Crover, Steven McDonald, and Coady Willis.
Tickets are on-sale this Friday, Feb. 27, at 10 a.m. local time, with an Ipecac pre-sale available Wednesday, Feb. 25, at 10 a.m. local time (password: Flashback). Ticketing links are available via Ipecac.com.

About Tomahawk:
Tomahawk — guitarist Duane Denison (the Jesus Lizard, The Unsemble, etc.), vocalist Mike Patton (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More, Fantômas, etc.), drummer John Stanier (Helmet, Battles, etc.), and bassist Trevor “field mouse” Dunn (Mr. Bungle, Fantômas, etc.) — show up just when we need them. The first time was in 2001 with the self-titled Tomahawk. Following Mit Gas (2003) and Anonymous (2007), they dropped Oddfellows during 2013. It marked their best chart debut, reaching #9 on the Billboard Top Independent Albums Chart.
All kinds of touring and festivals followed before the members went back to their gazillion other gigs in 2014. Then on their 20th anniversary, they finally returned with their fifth full-length album, Tonic Immobility, and now on their 25th anniversary, they have returned to the stage.

About the Melvins:
Formed in 1983 in Montesano, Washington, the Melvins are one of modern heavy music’s most influential bands. Led by Buzz Osborne and Dale Crover and currently featuring Steven McDonald (Redd Kross) and Coady Willis (Big Business, High on Fire), the band has released more than 30 albums across a four-decade career that helped shape the sound of heavy music. Their latest release, Tarantula Heart, arrived last year, with a new collaborative album with Napalm Death, Savage Imperial Death March, due this Spring.
Helsinki’s very own hard rocking quintet Wishing Well have today released a brand new “Valley Of Darkness”single off their new Playing With Fire album, out on March 13th. The song is a fast and furious opening track off their new album and a perfect example of classic Wishing Well sound, featuring Hammond organ, melodic guitar solos and strong vocals with haunting lyrics.
The song is released together with an effective black and white video, that greatly supports the song’s cinematic atmosphere. “Valley Of Darkness” was written by Anssi Korkiakoski, the guitarist of Wishing Well. The song and the album were recorded in Magnusborg studios in Porvoo by Marko Kataja. The music video was filmed and edited by Jussi Koskinen.
Playing With Fire is Wishing Well’s fifth album on Inverse Records and we’ve had a great journey together for ten years. The band have gotten better and better album by album and the new record is once again a solid proof of their motivation, skills and determination”, says Jaakko Tarvainen, A&R Producer of Inverse Records.
He continues, “Valley Of Darkness is a song that represents Wishing Well very well and the new album will open many new doors and bring new opportunities and more fans for the band, that’s for sure. I’m very happy that a band like Wishing Well is in our roster, we keep going full steam ahead together.”

BAND BIO:
Gutter dwellin’ rock n roll from Baltimore, MD!
Formed in 2018 by members of Nux Vomica, Deathammer, and Raw Filth who wanted to strike a sound somewhere between their love of 80’s metal and rock n roll swagger with punk grit. Months of gigging and developing their style led them to comparisons with classic bands straddling those same lines such as Motörhead and Venom, with their self released demo in 2019.
After some lineup changes and higher profile gigs opening for BAT, Poison Ruin, and a spot on Maryland Deathfest, they released their self-titled full length in 2022. Total Maniac sets apart from their contemporaries by authentically not giving a fuck about fitting into a narrow box.
Several more high profile gigs, festivals, and DIY tours followed. It’s not uncommon to find them on a bigger stage opening for major metal acts such as Midnight or Sodom one night, and then a sweaty packed dive bar playing alongside crust punk bands the next month.
New Jersey rock/metal torchbearers WHO ON EARTH return with a vengeance, unleashing their blistering new single “Vigilance,” accompanied by an incendiary official music video. The release follows the momentum of the band’s critically praised 2025 EP Smoke & Mirrors and signals the next chapter in their quest for world domination!
Commenting on the single, bassist Pete Rizzi says:
“Vigilance’ was written for one reason and one reason only: to deliver both a warning and a call to unity. As we become more divided as a country, the elite continue to gain wealth and power at our expense, unabated. This is a “we’ve had enough” cry from the urban streets of Trenton, NJ!“
“Vigilance” delivers a crushing preview of what WHO ON EARTH have in store for 2026: sharp riffs, thunderous rhythms, and unflinching intensity. The single arrives ahead of the band’s upcoming spring tour supporting FOZZY, where fans can experience the new material live. Tour dates and tickets are available now at: whoonearththeband.com/shows.
Follow the band for additional updates in the coming weeks!

Switzerland’s rock heavyweights GOTTHARD return with a brand-new single, “Smiling in the Pouring Rain”, a stripped-down, heartfelt moment led by Nic Maeder’s warm, comforting voice. The song is about finding strength in hard times and remembering that the storm always passes.
The idea was to give it a positive vibe. Even if sometimes life could be sad, or sometimes even sadder. What you always have to keep in mind is that something good is always going to come sooner or later. So you have to keep believing in what you do, and especially in yourself. We’re trying to give a little bit of hope. That’s the idea behind this song.” — Leo Leoni
“This song is basically about life and the unexpected great things that can come out of bad times. Life can feel like a never-ending roller coaster, and this track is kind of our take on ‘Singing in the Rain’.” — Nic Maeder
“Smiling in the Pouring Rain” showcases once again GOTTHARD’s ability to craft emotionally resonant rock music that uplifts as much as it moves.

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
