Highly praised by specified press around the globe, Swedish masters DAYS OF JUPITER’s much-awaited fifth album The World Was Never Enough has been released through RPM today. Fans can order/stream the album now, here: https://daysofjupiter.rpm.link/twwnePR

Besides delivering captivating hard rock/metal tunes over and over again, the group are also known for capturing the essence of their art in the form of well-crafted music videos, mostly directed by long-time partner Andreas Lundin (Litbox Productions) – and the visualisation of the record’s title track is no exception: kept in blue shades, “The World Was Never Enough” matches the thought-provoking atmosphere surrounding the whole album.

“Get ready to be captivated and energised by a powerful, heavy and tough hard rock/metal song with enchanting melodies and a catchy and haunting hook. Featuring lyrics which dive into a story with a spy and 007-like feeling to it, it’s a story about two people on the run who have a bond that is stronger and bigger than this world could ever offer,” lyricist Robert Hilli reveals.

HYPERSTRIKE – Unleashes Anthemic Fury with “Savage Sword”

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on February 2, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Seattle (WA) – Powerhouse Action-Metal band, Hyperstrike, is back with an explosive new single, “Savage Sword,” on all digital platforms!

Serving as the ultimate rallying cry for those who know we live in a simulation, this track challenges listeners to confront the fabric of reality itself. “Savage Sword” tells the story of a world trapped in an artificial construct controlled by an evil deity broadcasting illusions from Saturn. Hyperstrike asks the provocative question: what if everything you see is a lie? The song’s protagonist wields the savage sword, a symbol of truth and rebellion, to sever the deceptive veil and spark a revolt against this cosmic oppressor.

“Savage Sword” follows close behind debut single, “Warning Shot.” Both cuts will appear on the band’s long-awaited debut album, High Risk, a ten-track thrill ride that drops this spring, delivering an unrelenting assault of melody, power, and precision.

Each of the album’s songs plunges listeners into a high-stakes narrative, from the devastating chaos of “Meltdown (Stop the Reactor)” to the primal defiance of “Steel Heart” and the warrior’s anthem “King of the Slain.” The album captures the sound of rebellion with blistering guitar solos, thunderous rhythms, and vocals that alternate between soaring and savage. Recorded in the heart of Seattle’s legendary metal scene, High Risk cements Hyperstrike’s reputation as a band that dares to push boundaries while delivering unforgettable hooks. Brace yourselves for the countdown to the most electrifying release of 2025 is on!

WARHOG – Unleashes New Single “Unleash The Beast” Alongside A Captivating Lyric Video

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on January 27, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

North Texas metal sensation WARHOG is set to dominate the airwaves once again with the release of their powerful new single, “Unleash The Beast.” This track, accompanied by a compelling lyric video, is now available on all major streaming platforms.

The band passionately shares, “‘Unleash the Beast’ is a heavy metal anthem inspired by the Book of Revelation and today’s deepening social divide. With thunderous riffs and raw vocals, it captures the tension between the powerful elite and the oppressed masses. This track is a searing commentary on inequality, corruption, and the apocalyptic unraveling of our world. A call to confront the chaos and unite before it’s too late.”

Formed in early 2020, WARHOG quickly adapted to the challenges of the pandemic, creating music that fused their intense creative energies with the possibilities of remote collaboration. The band’s latest release not only showcases their signature driving, rhythmic riffs and melodic, storytelling vocals but also breaks new ground with its cinematic and genre-blending sound. WARHOG’s mission continues to be about breaking barriers in heavy music and bringing their theatrical and atmospheric sound to a broad audience.

WARHOG:

  • Scott Beetley – Vocals, Guitar
  • Eric Kendall – Guitar
  • Justin Hopper – Bass
  • Robert Powers – Drums

SABER – “Without Warning” (Re-Release) Out On February 7th via ROAR

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on January 6, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

SABER is an LA-based metal band known for their uniquely sleazy take on the NWOBHM sound. The band emerged organically in 2018 after lead guitarist Joel Dominguez – who was already working on some similar material with rhythm guitarist Jesus Delgado and bassist David Sanchez, received a message from singer Steven Villa about starting a new 80s inspired project.

A series of thundering tracks followed soon after, which were refined into their 2021 debut album Without Warning. Produced and released with the help of Trevor William Church, who also filled in as the drummer, the album was overwhelmingly positively received, being named as one of Bandcamp’s best albums of the year and outranking Exodus and Iron Maiden on BraveWords’ annual Top 30 list.

Saber- “Without Warning” [2020 Re-release] Pre-order: 

https://saber.rpm.link/woutwarning

Sonically and aesthetically, Saber’s artistic identity is firmly rooted in the 80s. With Jesus now as their drummer and the addition of guitarist Antonio ‘Yogi’ Pettinato, the fearsome fivesome pass influences from Judas Priest and Queensryche to Riot and Iron Maiden through a unique lens, creating a distinctly energetic audiovisual experience that resonates with their diverse and growing fanbase.

SABER:
Steven Villa – Lead Vocals
Joel Dominguez – Lead/Rhythm Guitar
Jesus Delgado – Drums

I picked up this 8-track cartridge of Black Sabbath ‘Paranoid’ (top photo) for 25 cents at a thrift store a week or so ago. The tape is intact. I love this band and embrace the nostalgia of such an old-time music medium. The ‘Paranoid’ album was released back in 1970. Dig it, my brothers and sisters. 👊🏻
