HEAVYS Weekly Breakdown talking about
Arch Enemy reuniting with Angela Gossow,
Chuck Billy of Testament wanting Metallica,
new album releases, and more.
“The Swedish metal veterans posted an Instagram video on Friday (Feb. 13) of a cloaked figure waving a flaming rod. The video features a single word: “2026.” But the real point of intrigue is the other tagged accounts in the post. The band tagged three of its four current members: guitarists Michael Amott and Joey Concepcion and drummer Daniel Erlandsson. (Bassist Sharlee D’Angelo, who has an Instagram account but does not seem to use it, was not tagged.) But Arch Enemy also tagged Gossow, which seems like a fairly definitive hint as to who their “new” vocalist will be. The profile pictures of four accounts — Arch Enemy, Amott, Erlandsson and Gossow — are all completely black, adding another layer of uniformity.” (Loudwire)

Five new songs to raise the volume on a blackheart weekend of love.
What are you listening to?
“Ohio metalcore favorites MISS MAY I are thrilled to share the first taste of new music for 2026. Today, they drop the video for new single “Die on the Vine,” which is full of galloping guitars, plate-shifting breakdowns, and memorable melodies. “‘Die on the Vine’ captures a mid-life reckoning — coming to terms with how deeply childhood experiences and unresolved trauma shape who we become,” the band explains. “The song reflects the moment where denial stops working and self-awareness sets in. If those patterns are something you have to live with, the choice becomes whether to decay under their weight or grow stronger through them. ‘Die on the Vine’ leans into that tension, framing survival as adaptation: sharpening your thorns over time instead of letting the damage define you.” (Press Release)
