 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.

Progressive Metal Powerhouse Jinjer Release New Video of Fan Favorite “Fast Draw”
 NAPALM RECORDS NEWS  Ukrainian Metal Titans JINJER Unleash Ferocious New Video for Fan Favorite “Fast Draw” | Watch HERE Order Your Copy of Acclaimed Fifth Album, Duél, NOW  [photo credit: Lina Glasir] Ukrainian modern metal powerhouse JINJER has dropped a crushing new music video for “Fast Draw”, a standout track from their critically acclaimed latest album, Duél. Featuring explosive live footage from their recent European tours alongside metal legends Sepultura, as well as highlights from last summer’s festival circuit, the video offers a front-row seat to JINJER’s blistering live energy and commanding stage presence. Renowned for their genre-defying sound and electrifying performances, JINJER continues to rise as one of the most dynamic forces in today’s metal landscape. The band spent 2024 on the road with Sepultura as part of the iconic group’s farewell world tour, and 2025 has already seen them bring their ferocity to stages across Asia and Australia. This summer, JINJER will storm North America as direct support for Babymetal, with additional high-profile festival appearances set for Download UK, Graspop Metal Meeting, and more. Watch the official video for “Fast Draw” now and experience the unrelenting power of JINJER – live and unleashed. Watch the live music video for “Fast Draw” HERE: For latest album Duél – which features multiple music videos with multi-millions of combined views to date and broke into the charts at #2 US Hard Music Albums, #6 US Current Rock Albums, #2 CAN Hard Music Albums, #3 France Metal, #7 UK Rock & Metal and beyond – the band once again collaborated with accomplished producer Max Morton, who co-produced, mixed and mastered the album. This new masterwork lives up to JINJER’s reputation as metal visionaries, proving that they defy barriers of influence while charging a path entirely of their own making. This is proven with songs like “Rogue”, “Green Serpent” and “Dark Bile”, conjuring astonishing heaviness unlike ever before.

Eugene Abdukhanov, JINJER bassist on the new album:“ After all the releases we’ve made, finally having Duél in our hands and ready to be shared with the world, makes us very proud that our band still hasn’t run out of creativity and inspiration. The fact that we still challenge ourselves to release the best music we have ever made with each new release, is what keeps JINJER moving forward. This album was the longest songwriting process we’ve ever had and it took almost two years to complete. We worked very hard with every free minute we weren’t on tour, recording demos over and over again and always searching for the perfect sound for guitars, bass and drums. It was also the first time that Tatiana did vocal pre-productions, so it’s safe to say that none of our releases were so well thought out and calculated as this one. It pulverizes the boundaries of the modern progressive metal genre but still remains sophisticated, exciting and extreme all at the same time. We took up the challenge to expand our musical horizons even wider than before in order to cement Duél to be the next step in JINJER‘s musical growth and hopefully the evolution of metal music in general.” Order Your Copy of Duél NOW – only a few formats left!

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.

The live album captures the explosive energy of a VISIONS OF ATLANTIS live show, allowing listeners to relive the incomparable spirit of their recent tour from the comfort of home. 2024 was a triumphant year for the international symphonic metal frontrunners VISIONS OF ATLANTIS. The release of their latest full-length album, Pirates II – Armada, marks the band’s most successful record to date, climbing to top positions on international charts, including #5 on the German and Austrian Official Album Charts, #4 on the UK Rock & Metal Charts, and #2 on the US Hard Music Album Charts, to name a few.

See you very soon!” |
| “High drama, hard-hitting heaviness, and gentle, spinetingling beauty. Visions of Atlantis have proven that ‘pirate metal’ is much more than a silly gimmick.” – Metal Hammer, 2024 VISIONS OF ATLANTIS deliver tales of high-seas adventure through cinematic symphonic metal anthems, swiftly rising as high as a Jolly Rancher flag since the band’s humble beginnings in August 2000. Since the band’s inception, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS has boasted dual vocal power from a male and female vocalist, co-captained today with Clémentine Delauney and Michele Guaitoli at the helm. Both possess captivating range, seamlessly switching from intimate melody to soaring operatic thunder. Christian Douscha’s guitar work helps forge a brilliant future for the symphonic metal genre. Nintendo-obsessed Herbert Glos punctuates the proceedings with bass lines as rhythmic as the sea. Steady band cofounder and drummer Thomas Caser anchors the sound with powerful percussion. Songs like “Melancholy Angel”, “Clocks”, “Legions of the Seas” and “Master of the Hurricane” helped establish the band as symphonic metal royalty. Through their pair of critically acclaimed masterworks, Pirates (2022) and Pirates II—Armada (2024), the band took listeners on immersive adventures. Each swashbuckling track serves as a metaphor for perseverance, passion, and emotion. The Pirates era is majestically celebrated across the multipart Armada Live Over Europe (2025). Culled from professional recordings captured at multiple tour stops, the collection showcases VISIONS OF ATLANTIS’ visceral prowess, power, and dynamic connection to its loyal audience. Kicking off with its title track and standout song, “Return to Lemuria”, The Deep & The Dark (2018) introduced Delauney, Douscha, and Glos to fans worldwide. Guaitoli completed the band’s best-known lineup on Wanderers (2019), which featured massive fan-favorite anthems, including “Heroes of the Dawn,” “A Journey to Remember” and “Nothing Lasts Forever.” The new era began in earnest with Pirates. “They build the perfect musical platform for one of the finest dual vocal performances I have ever heard,” wrote Metal Rules in a 5/5 review. Praise for Pirates II – Armada was similarly enthusiastic from Metal Hammer and Distorted Sound. “Over 25 years and eight studio albums, VISIONS OF ATLANTIS have established themselves as the pristine epitome of symphonic metal,” wrote Blabbermouth. “Setting sail has seldom been more entertaining.” VISIONS OF ATLANTIS continue to captivate Europe and North and South America with each successive trek- whether headlining or performing at major festivals like Wacken, Bloodstock, ProgPower USA, the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, and the Sabaton Cruise. Armada LIVE Over Europe is a masterclass in performance and a harbinger of the adventures to come for VISIONS OF ATLANTIS. All aboard! Vocalist Clémentine about the album: “We’re delighted to keep the magic of our live shows alive with this long-awaited release! Now, everyone who has attended one or more shows on our 2024 ARMADA tour can relive the experience at home. We love how our songs from our latest albums are energized and empowered by the live conditions and how the crowd becomes a part of the show, singing and chanting with us all along. This was definitely a tour to remember for us, and we are very happy to have this record as a lifetime souvenir.” |

Leading AOR force THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA present the title track of their cinematic seventh album, Give Us The Moon, out January 31, 2025 via Napalm Records! “Give Us The Moon” features a catchy singalong chorus, sure to convince fans old and new. The new single arrives with a lyric video.
Founded in 2007 by members of high-profile bands such as Soilwork, Arch Enemy and Mean Streak, over the years, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA has garnered millions of streams, earned Swedish Grammis nominations and built a reputation for dynamic live performances internationally through touring and massive festival shows such as Wacken Open Air. The band is set to continue winning over international live audiences on their European and Scandinavian headline tours this winter and spring. Grab your tickets now, check out “Give Us The Moon” below and make sure to pre-order your copy of the new album!
THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA comments:
“‘Give Us The Moon’ is the title track and guiding star that slides across the dance floor and into the night. It also speaks of our human need and longing to be somewhere else, and our notion that there must be something more out there – something grander, something more gratifying and mysterious.
Give Us The Moon takes the listener on an exciting sonic journey, balancing between uplifting escapism and captivating stories inspired by real life events. The album’s themes span the likes of heroines and temptresses to liberation and romantic nostalgia, set to backdrops of abandoned cities and cosmic tides.
The intro track “Final Call” sets the scene for Give Us The Moon before impressive opening track “Stratus” is followed by the beautifully nostalgic “Shooting Velvet”. The intro of “Like The Beating Of A Heart” captures the listener from its first notes, leading into an irresistibly catchy chorus. Massive “Melbourne, May I?” is a classic THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA anthem, featuring captivating solos that are equally prominent on following track “Miraculous”. THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA slows it down for the emotional “Paloma”, before again diving into different soundscapes on the exciting, uplifting “Cosmic Tide”. The band continues their trademark of name-dropping streets and cities on “A Paris Point Of View”, that features fascinating instrumentation including particularly 80s-inspired keys and groovy bass. Sentimental “Runaways” feels like a part of a movie, only partially because of the attention-grabbing intro track before the first notes. THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA gets the tempo up once more for “Way To Spend The Night” before epic closing track “Stewardess, Empress, Hot Mess (And The Captain Of Pain)” wraps up THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA’s most cinematic masterpiece so far.
Give Us The Moon is free from the limitations of one genre or style, although many of the soundscapes of the album draw inspiration from the 80s, making the album a varied, exciting adventure. Give Us The Moon is produced by THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA and Sebastian Forslund, who also mixed the album, and is mastered by Plec Johansson at award-winning The Panic Room Studios. To celebrate the release of the new full-length, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA will embark on a full European tour in late January 2025. Boarding is completed – fasten your seatbelts and enjoy the flight!
THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA about their new album:
“We have never worked harder on an album before and what a journey it’s been. We feel that this album has it all and there’s no way we could have done any better. It’s an explosion of emotions and cinematic landscapes where you’ll be catapulted into space and then land smoothly while feeling right at home. It will be your haven and your grand escape all at once. We hope you will connect to this album with every fiber of your body and mind, just like we do. Please do enjoy Give Us The Moon!”Pre-Order Your Copy Of Give Us The Moon NOW:

KAMELOT‘s latest album, The Awakening, debuted at #2 on the US Current Hard Music Albums chart and #27 on the Current Album Sales chart, and connected with fans and critics alike – touted by many as the best late-era KAMELOT release to date! The album enters the band’s legacy as their most massive and diverse offering yet – mixing symphonic, gothic, melodic, progressive and power metal styles while yielding some of the heaviest tracks in the band’s history. Having reigned supreme with the release of internationally top-charting melodic metal pinnacles such as The Fourth Legacy (1999), The Black Halo (2005), Silverthorn (2012), Haven (2015, #1 US Hard Rock Albums), and most recently 2018’s acclaimed The Shadow Theory (#2 US Hard Music Albums), KAMELOT’s intense brand of ultramodern gothic and symphonic theatricality is amplified further and with more emotionalism than ever on The Awakening.
Showcasing the incomparable, stage-seasoned vocal acrobatics of Tommy Karevik and increasingly airtight, renowned technical teamwork of guitarist Thomas Youngblood, drummer Alex Landenburg, keyboardist Oliver Palotai and bassist Sean Tibbetts, KAMELOT’s score-like 13th studio album is accented by guest contributions from the likes of Melissa Bonny (Ad Infinitum) and renowned instrumentalists like violinist Florian Janoske and cellist Tina Guo. The Awakening features crystal clear modern production helmed by the band and longtime producer Sascha Paeth, plus mixing and mastering by Jacob Hansen of Hansen Studios.
“10/10 “Masterpiece!”
– Metal-Temple
“The Awakening is KAMELOT’s best album in almost 20 years…”
– The Prog Mind (US), 9/10
“The Awakening is KAMELOT performing at the top of their game.”
– New Noise Magazine (US)
“The Awakening is probably the hottest candidate for the (melodic) metal album of the year.”
