 Alter Bridge Now Available for Pre-Order in First Formats HERE Band Announces 2026 European Headline “What Lies Within Tour” With Daughtry and Sevendust Only ALTER BRIDGE Performance in 2025 to Take Place in Nashville, TN on October 1 at Tremonti Family Charity Golf Outing  Alter Bridge L to R: Scott Phillips, Myles Kennedy, Brian Marshall, Mark Tremonti Photo Credit: Chuck Brueckmann With more than two decades performing together, acclaimed rockers ALTER BRIDGE show no signs of slowing down. Known for their memorable riffs, infectious vocal melodies and dueling guitar attack, the quartet comprised of Myles Kennedy on vocals/guitars, Mark Tremonti on guitars/vocals, Brian Marshall on bass and Scott Phillips on drums have garnered themselves massive critical and fan acclaim around the globe. The band looks to continue that trend when they release their self-titled, eighth studio album next year via Napalm Records. Alter Bridge will be released on January 9, 2026, and first physical formats are now available for pre-order. Alter Bridge is comprised of 12 all new tracks from the band and features some of their most iconic moments on record. Songs like “Rue The Day,” “Disregarded” and “Scales Are Falling” will fit alongside any of the classic songs from ALTER BRIDGE’s catalog. “Trust In Me” shows Myles and Mark sharing vocal duties as Myles handles the verse duties while Mark takes the chorus. That strategy is flipped on “Tested And Able” as Mark handles the verses and Myles takes on the choruses behind one of the band’s heaviest intros to date, giving way to an unforgettable melody. “Hang By A Thread” is sure to become a show favorite as it hints at some of the most popular songs in the band’s catalog. Album closer “Slave To Master” is an epic track that ALTER BRIDGE has come to be known for and is the longest song the quartet has recorded to date. The band worked with longtime collaborator and producer Michael “Elvis” Baskette on their eighth album. Alter Bridge was recorded over the course of two months this spring in the legendary 5150 studio in California and Elvis’ recording studio in Florida.

The band will be doing a rare acoustic show on October 1 in Nashville, TN to support the Tremonti Family Charity Golf Outing. The outing is a benefit started by guitarist Mark Tremonti to support the National Down Syndrome Society – an organization close to Mark after his daughter Stella was born with Down syndrome. The event will raise money for NDSS – an organization that engages grassroots advocates at the federal, state, and local levels and creates resources to support individuals with Down syndrome, their families, and caregivers across the lifespan on topics including education, employment, health and wellness, and aging. Tickets for the event can be purchased at: https://charity.pledgeit.org/rockforeDownsyndrome  About ALTER BRIDGE:Back in 2004, four lifelong musicians got together down in Florida. Even though they had traveled separate paths, similar lessons learned, wisdom earned, and dues paid united these gentlemen—Myles Kennedy [vocals, guitar], Mark Tremonti [guitar, vocals], Brian Marshall [bass], and Scott Phillips [drums]—as ALTER BRIDGE. Over the ensuing two decades, the band endured countless trials and tribulations, defied every odd, and rose to the head of the pack as a hard rock juggernaut, cementing a singular legacy by selling out arenas, gathering nearly one billion streams, inciting international acclaim, and quietly attracting a diehard audience. Beginning with the Top 5 entry of 2004’s gold certified One Day Remains, the band have scored six consecutive Top 20 debuts on the Billboard 200. Among a myriad of highlights, Guitarist Magazine applauded “Blackbird” for the “Greatest Guitar Solo of All Time,” the ABIII single “Isolation” vaulted to #1 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart, 2013’s Fortress received rare perfect scores from KERRANG! and Total Guitar, and Walk The Sky shook the Top Rock Albums Chart at #1. Beyond packing O2 Arena and Royal Albert Hall, Classic Rock hailed 2022’s Pawns & Kings as “the Rolls-Royce of ALTER BRIDGE records” in a 4.5-out-of-5-star review. Plus, the latter LP garnered praise from American Songwriter, Guitar World, and Loudwire, while Billboard christened them “one of America’s premiere hard rock quartets.” Channeling the same hunger, the band continue to push themselves on their self-titled eighth full-length offering, Alter Bridge [Napalm Records]. It embodies everything they’re known for such as the precise riffs, towering hooks, and solos that practically break guitar strings as they burst through the clouds.

Folk Doom Volur Release new track from Upcoming Album
 VÖLUR & CARES Unveil “Windbourne Sorcery I,” A Meditative Storm of Strings, Spirits, and Sonic Spellcraft Stream “Windbourne Sorcery I” HERE Canadian doom-folk experimentalists VÖLUR have released their new single “Windbourne Sorcery I”, a transportive instrumental that draws on Kurdish rhythmic traditions, Persian timbres, and Western harmonic sensibilities. The track is the latest glimpse into Breathless Spirit, the band’s ambitious fourth studio album and their first full-length collaboration with avant-producer CARES (James Beardmore). At the heart of “Windbourne Sorcery I” is the tanbur, a three-stringed Kurdish lute played here by Lucas Gadke in his first time recording the instrument with VÖLUR, though it previously featured on their 2020 EP Zwischen den Wäldern. Inspired by the playing of Ali Akbar Moradi and the atmospherics of TALK TALK’s “Spirit of Eden,” the piece flows intuitively through unconventional time signatures, primarily a 10/8 rhythmic cycle (3-2-2-3), before opening into a spellbinding stretch of free improvisation led by Laura C. Bates’ violin. The song features no lyrics, but instead opens with a chant over a contrapuntal descending melody, eventually expanding into a complex, trance-inducing chant cycle in 24 beats (10+7+7), a hallmark of VÖLUR’s genre-defying sound. The band’s commitment to authenticity is clear: Lucas studied tanbur for three years with Tehran-born maestro Reza Houshvar, bringing a deeply rooted, personal resonance to this cross-cultural composition. “Windbourne Sorcery I” exemplifies the sonic terrain of Breathless Spirit, a six-track journey shaped over five years, originally conceived as part of VÖLUR’s Die Sprachen Der Vögel series. Produced in deep collaboration with CARES, the album draws on Icelandic folklore, Persian modal structures, doom metal, and free jazz. The result is a deeply textured and emotionally resonant work that dissolves the boundaries between genres, cultures, and consciousness. Breathless Spirit features contributions from Amy Bowles (PONY DA LOOK) and Zoë Santo (DIVKA), and is visually anchored by a striking stone-cut print by Inuit artist Saimaiyu Akesuk, which also inspired some of the album’s compositional rhythms. It will be available on black vinyl in two editions, including a “diehard edition” that comes with a bonus 7” and a custom Breathless Spirit tea blend created in partnership with BLACK THRONE. About VÖLUR & CARES VÖLUR is a Toronto-based experimental doom metal trio composed of Laura C. Bates (violin, vocals), Lucas Gadke (bass, vocals), and Justin Ruppel (drums). Known for their unorthodox instrumentation and boundary-pushing compositions, VÖLUR draws from a wide range of influences including doom metal, European folk, free improvisation, classical music, and Persian/Kurdish traditions. Their sound, often described as haunting and cinematic, blends thunderous low-end weight with fragile melodic tension. Since forming in 2014, they have released multiple albums and EPs, performed at festivals such as ProphecyFest and Sled Island, and collaborated with artists from around the world as part of their Die Sprachen der Vögel series. CARES is the project of James Beardmore, a UK-born, Ontario-based musician and producer. Known for his experimental production methods and emotional sonic textures, Beardmore integrates analog synthesizers, hacked hardware, custom Max/MSP instruments, and field recordings into compositions that are as tactile as they are atmospheric. His work with VÖLUR on Breathless Spirit is a seamless collaboration that expands the band’s sonic universe, elevating their music into a richly layered fusion of organic and electronic sound. Together, VÖLUR & CARES create immersive, mythically charged music that resists categorization, rooted in story and sound, breath and ritual. VÖLUR is: Laura C. Bates – violin, electric violin, viola, cymbals, vocals Lucas Gadke – electric bass, double bass, harmonium, keyboards, tanbur, clarinet, bass clarinet, vocals Justin Ruppel – drums, percussion Connect with VÖLUR: Website: www.volurdoom.com Bandcamp: https://volur.bandcamp.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VolurDoom/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/volurdoom/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/volurdoom YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/volurdoom TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@volurdoom Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2Y2XCmgrMhdMpoNdGibU01  Breathless Spirit Track Listing: Hearth Windbourne Sorcery I Windbourne Sorcery II Breathless Spirit On Drangey Death in Solitude Glamr Flutterby Numbers |

 Swiss Heavy Metal Torchbearers BURNING WITCHES Unleash Music Video for New Single, “High Priestess Of The Night” Watch HERE New Album Inquisition out August 22, 2025 via Napalm Records Pre-Order HERE USA Tour Begins August 30 in Pompano Beach, FL  Swiss heavy metal act BURNING WITCHES have shared a new track taken from their forthcoming studio album, entitled Inquisition, slated for release onAugust 22, 2025 via Napalm Records! Following the previously released album title track, this second single brings a powerful mix of classic heavy metal riffs and hard rock grooves to the band’s signature witch-themed metal offerings. “High Priestess Of The Night” features a memorable chorus as well as a tasteful and melodic ’80s-style guitar solo. One can be sure, the band is set to perform this and many other new tracks on their upcoming live dates that can be found below! BURNING WITCHES comment: “We chose this good-vibed yet still heavy-themed, catchy mid-tempo song as a second single. This will be an ear catcher and a hip shaker for sure at live shows. This song is a must for everybody… it’s simple but it’s also the way of every Metalhead. If you are a Metalhead, you will like High Priestess Of The Night!” Watch the new music video for “High Priestess Of The Night” HERE: On their sixth studio offering, the band returns with a darker, more thunderous brew — diving headfirst into themes of medieval persecution, religious oppression, and the unbreakable spirit of resistance. Featuring 12 brand-new tracks, the album marks a bold new era: forged in the flames of power/heavy metal and sharpened by anthemic songwriting and epic instrumentation. When BURNING WITCHES takes the stage, the world trembles beneath their firestorm of heavy metal might! Following the classic heavy metal tones of their previous record, The Dark Tower (2023), Inquisition delivers tight production and an unrelenting onslaught of burning riffs, crushing drums, and vocal sorcery, driven by producers Damir Eskic (Destruction) and V.O. Pulver (Little Creek Studio, Pro-Pain, Destruction), and shaped by the songwriting of founding guitarist Romana Kalkuhl. With Inquisition, BURNING WITCHES unleashes their most focused and ferocious album yet, honoring classic heavy metal roots while diving into darker, more powerful territory. From mystical ballads to breakneck shred-fests, the album channels both the sacred and profane, the melodic and the menacing—a testament to a band unafraid to evolve, fight, and enchant! Guitarist Romana Kalkuhl says about the album: “As we celebrate our 10 Year Anniversary in 2025, I am very happy as well to announce our sixth album with pride and satisfaction. I am extremely happy to start the next chapter of our metal journey with my girls. The album Inquisition is for those of you who are into legends like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Slayer. Full of power, melodies, double bass drums, heavy riffs and speedy guitar solos, Inquisition is not only our style and lifestyle, it’s our life! From the beginning to the end, it’s the best of us.

Swedish Metalcore Band Adept Debuts New Gorgeous Track
 NAPALM RECORDS NEWS  Swedish Metalcore Outfit ADEPT Unveils Explosive New Single “YOU” + Official Music Video | Watch HERE! Summer Tour Kicks Off at Nova Rock Festival & Extended European Tour Announced for this Winter!  [Photo Credit: Pontus Gustavsson & Martin Öberg] Swedish metalcore heavyweights ADEPT continue their triumphant return unleashing the heartfelt and groovy hook-laden new anthem “YOU” alongside an official music video. Following the release of their crushing comeback single “Heaven”, which marked their first new music in nearly nine years, “YOU” dives deep into the emotional wreckage of love lost, with swelling, cathartic guitar leads and honest, bleeding heart lyricism. The band first re-emerged in 2024 with a breathtaking live appearance at Core Fest in Stuttgart, Germany, igniting the stage, and thrilling fans with a powerful display of fury and fire. Now with two new singles under their comeback belt, ADEPT has their foot on the gas, and show no signs of slowing. This new visual arrives on the heels of ADEPT’s recent announcement of their “20 Year Anniversary Tour”, marking two decades of explosive live shows and heavy-hitting anthems. The tour features an extensive run across major cities in Europe and the UK, kicking off in Berlin, Germany on November 27. Tickets are on sale now, so grab yours before they’re gone! Watch the official music video for “YOU” below, and don’t miss this chance to experience ADEPT live. Vocalist Robert Ljung about “YOU”: “‘YOU’ is a classic breakup song built around the lingering ‘what if’ – a reflection on love, loss, and how time eventually swallows everything. It’s probably our most accessible track so far, combining a catchy topline with heavy riffs in a way that still feels true to our sound. We had a lot of fun experimenting with new elements on this one, and we’re incredibly proud of how it turned out.” Watch the Official Music Video for “YOU” HERE: Originally formed in the early 2000s in Trosa, Sweden, ADEPT played a pivotal role in shaping the early European metalcore landscape. Known for their explosive live energy, the band quickly rose through the ranks, earning international acclaim and touring alongside genre giants like A Day To Remember, Underoath, and Bring Me The Horizon. Now entering a bold new chapter, the band stands ready to once again leave their mark on the global metalcore scene. With their fierce blend of aggression and melody, ADEPT return with an infectiously emotional sound. The band quickly gained recognition and headlined multiple international tours across Europe, Asia and also performed at festivals like Metaltown and Sonisphere, where they opened for Metallica. With several massive festival appearances across Europe, new music on the horizon, and the celebration of their 20th anniversary, 2025 marks the beginning of an electrifying new chapter for ADEPT.

WATCH Spiritbox Live at Rock Am Ring Pro Audio and Pro Shot
Canadian Metal band Spiritbox is having a hell of a year with the release of their bombastic new album, Tsunami Sea. It has received critical acclaim and millions of streams alike. It is a great album and they’re just an innovative band. So, how do these songs sound live? Well, here’s your chance to find out. They’re one of the best live bands in Modern Metal and use raw vocals, which is a stunning feat in an era of modified vocals and backing tracks. This set is a testament to their raw talent. I prefer them live to on album, because of the pureness of the music without the clutter.

EXILED HOPE Releases Lyric Video For “Behold My Shattered Skies”
 EXILED HOPE Releases Lyric Video For “Behold My Shattered Skies” Watch “Behold My Shattered Skies” HERE Critically acclaimed gothic power metal artist EXILED HOPE, has revealed a lyric video for “Behold My Shattered Skies”. The song is taken from Apocrypha, which was released on all streaming platforms on April 11, 2025. “Behold My Shattered Skies” is a standout track on Apocrypha, with a sound that blends both folk metal and 70s rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Fleetwood Mac with a cinematic quality. Sofia comments, “Behold My Shattered Skies” is very different from the rest of the album because it’s a purely acoustic folk song (with extra synth layers for ambience). This song is an outlet for my spooky folk influences, which is a genre that I love almost as much as metal. This song was strongly inspired by the soundtrack to The Witcher 3, drawing from “Ladies Of The Woods” and “Priscilla’s Song”. I took it as another opportunity to add a soundtrack-style feel to the album and to remind listeners that my influences venture beyond even all the various metal subgenres.” Watch the video HERE: https://youtu.be/oHTXQMcN9mQ Order Apocrypha HERE: https://exiledhope.bandcamp.com/album/apocrypha-2 Listen on all streaming platforms HERE: https://linktr.ee/exiledhope  About EXILED HOPE: Multi-instrumentalist Sofia Frasz established EXILED HOPE in 2019, and draws musical inspiration from the likes of AVANTASIA, NIGHTWISH, KAMELOT and CRADLE OF FILTH to name a few. EXILED HOPE’s releases all take place in the same fictional universe and combine to form a dark fantasy metal opera. Each album centers on a character dealing with both an internal and external conflict in this world, and the lyrics explore how they navigate those conflicts. This is intended to provide some kind of escapism through the lyrical world building, while still keeping the songs grounded in real, relatable emotions despite their fantastical setup. EXILED HOPE is working towards the next album, Apocrypha, due to be released April 11th, 2025. Through EXILED HOPE, Sofia has composed music for two short films, Hallowed Paths and What Happens After Midnight, and has collaborated with UK melodeath outfit STEEL FORGE.

Grammy Award Winning Hard Rock Band HALESTORM Announce New Album+Tour
Halestorm will waste no time supporting their upcoming sixth studio album, Everest, booking a seven month world tour that includes a lengthy run in the U.S. and Canada between July and October. This is what Halestorm does best, endlessly tour and make sure their millions of fans have multiple chances to see them.
I am intrigued by the first single of Everest, as it sounds more like “Into the Wildlife” style writing and production.
The band recently revealed the first single from their new album titled “Darkness Always Wins” and now we have the full details of their forthcoming release.
Halestorm on the album:
“Our album Everest is a story of our journey as a band, full of beautiful endings and new beginnings. We weave a tangled web of melancholy, frustration, anger, and the vast purgatory of love and love lost. It is a rollercoaster of epic musical detours, great songwriting and completely unhinged twists and turns. EVEREST is an auditory representation of the 4 pillars of Halestorm. Let us introduce ourselves and invite you into our world…if you dare.”
The album is titled Everest and it’s currently on track for an Aug. 8 release date through Atlantic Records. The group worked with producer Dave Cobb on the set.
Check out the album artwork and track listing below and make sure to get in on the album pre-orders.
