Dani Filth proposing to his partner Sofiya at Download Festival 14/06/25

“The Warped Tour DC 2025 delivered an electrifying weekend packed with standout performances from some of the biggest names in punk, rock, and alternative music. Fans at the RFK Campus were treated to sets by headliners like Avril Lavigne, All Time Low, and MGK, who brought high energy and crowd-pleasing hits to the stage. The lineup also featured fan favorites such as Bowling for Soup, Asking Alexandria, Simple Plan, and Boys Like Girls, each delivering memorable shows that kept the festival atmosphere buzzing. Hardcore and metalcore enthusiasts enjoyed powerful performances from August Burns Red, Ice Nine Kills, and We Came As Romans, while ska and punk legends like Less Than Jake, Pennywise, and Streetlight Manifesto kept the mosh pits alive. With additional sets from artists like The Maine, Motion City Soundtrack, State Champs, and Silverstein, Warped Tour proved to be an unforgettable celebration of live music and community for fans of all ages.” (Wiki/Press Release)

Turnstile – Never Enough | Album Review

Turnstile has grown from Glow On’s breakout success and made their next big step. Focusing on Never Enough as an individual album was a joy and is an early contender for best summer album of 2025. After the sweet, soft title track, you get knocked around by “Sole” and that is the best one-two punch to get you amped up for a new Turnstile release. It’s an album filled with big hits and surprises, along with a range of speed and tone all executed well. The slower, mellow moments are what will surprise newer fans and set a strong vibe. The bass lines and guitar melodies are all layered perfectly, again this is the summer album of 2025. Never Enough is a change from Glow On, and for many listeners it will be more than enough. 8/10

Album Review

Turnstile “Never Enough”
Turnstile “Seein’ Stars”/”Birds”

“Never Enough is the fourth studio album by American hardcore punk band Turnstile, released on June 6, 2025, through Roadrunner Records. It serves as a follow-up to the band’s previous studio album Glow On. It is their first album to feature guitarist Meg Mills following founding member Brady Ebert’s 2022 departure.” (Wiki)

Creeper Share “Headstones” Video; New Album “Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death” Coming Soon

CREEPER Tease Next Era With Video For “Headstones”

New Album Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death Coming 2025

May 30 saw CREEPER bring the curtain down on the critically-acclaimed SANGUIVORE era with a phenomenal performance of the album at a sold-out, intimate KOKO show. And, as has become custom in the CREEPER world, they ended this chapter by unveiling a look ahead to their next — this time by introducing a new character, the Mistress of Death, during a vampiric horror short film.

Now, CREEPER take a blood-soaked step towards their new album Sanguivore II: Mistress Of Death (coming later this year) by sharing the new single “HEADSTONES.” Watch the video here.

“HEADSTONES” sees CREEPER come roaring out of the gate with a whirlwind of classic thrash riffs and pummeling punk rhythms before soaring into a characteristically larger-than-life arena-ready hook. It also brings in exhilarating sonic elements, such as dueling, Judas Priest-style guitar solos from co-founder and lead guitarist Ian Miles and guitarist Lawrie Pattison, while Hannah Hermione brings gothic x gospel vocal harmonies. Its lyrics dive deeper in the band’s fascination with vampire mythology, with William Von Ghould‘s playful innuendo delivering arguably one of the greatest vampire songs ever written.

The track was produced by Tom Dalgety(GhostRammsteinThe Damned) who helped CREEPER bring their most theatrical and unhinged excesses to the fore.

William Von Ghould says, “‘Headstones’ is the first glimpse into Sanguivore II: Mistress of Death. Set in a blood-drenched vision of the 1980s, it follows a vampire rock band on a tour soaked in violence and excess. It features some of our heaviest and most theatrical guitar work yet, echoing Iron Maiden, with Lawrie Pattison and Ian Miles trading solos in the bridge. It’s also the fastest single we’ve released in years.

“Lyrically, it sets the stage for what’s to come in the album’s narrative, exploring the dark perils of rock ‘n’ roll, sins of the flesh, and pure evil. This is the band at its most over-the-top and unashamedly dramatic. But as our hero Jim Steinman once said, ‘Sometimes going all the way is just the start.'”

The accompanying video for “HEADSTONES” sees CREEPER channel the ferocity and charisma of their renowned live show and also underlines their future festival-headlining potential. William Von Ghould conducts the chaos from center stage, while his bandmates run riot and pyros detonate.

After Kerrang! observed that CREEPER’s KOKO show “evidently attracted the most ardent members of their already deeply devoted fanbase,” the band have plenty more to come on the road this year. Their summer festival dates include Bloodstock, Rock am Park/Rock im Ring, and Graspop Metal Meeting. Autumn then brings a UK and European tour as special guests to Ice Nine Kills which culminates at the OVO Arena Wembley on December 12.

Their UK dates are listed below; please see HERE for all international dates.

AUGUST:
8/9 — Derbyshire, UK — Bloodstock

WITH ICE NINE KILLS:
12/8 — Manchester, UK — O2 Victoria Warehouse
12/9 — Glasgow, SCT — OVO Hydro

“Alien Weaponry are back with a vengeance…” – Revolver Magazine 

“…Alien Weaponry’s fusion of rage, culture and melody meshes so effectively you could catch sharks in its net.” – Kerrang!

“…New Zealand’s hottest property is still getting hotter, and “Te Rā” is the perfect blend of neck-wrecking heaviness and atmospheric magic.” – Blabbermouth

 

New Zealand’s ALIEN WEAPONRY recently released their head-turning third album, Te Rā, via Napalm Records! Today, swiftly following the announcement of their upcoming USA tour supporting Avatar with fellow openers SpiritWorld, the band has dropped a brand new music video for album single “Taniwha”, featuring an intense guest appearance from metal icon Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God).

In the video, the modern groove metal trio find themselves face to face with puppet masters of corporate greed and overconsumption, providing a thought-provoking backdrop to one of the album’s most aggressive, death-metal leaning offerings.

Watch the video below, and make sure to check out the band’s upcoming USA tour dates, starting November 5, 2025 in Phoenix, AZ!

ALIEN WEAPONRY says about the “Taniwha” video:
“We are super excited to share something we have been working on for a while.
We felt honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with the mighty Randy Blythe on our song ‘Taniwha’ off of our latest album, so it only made sense to have him be a part of the music video too!

We wanted to create something special for this one, and we are stoked with how it turned out!”

Seether’s May 29th performance at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, OK took an unexpected detour when frontman Shaun Morgan called out venue security over the removal of his 7-year-old daughter from the stage during the set. Given the casino setting, the venue enforces a strict 21+ policy—something that seemingly extended beyond the gaming floor and bar area last night, leading to a heated moment in front of a packed crowd. According to fan accounts and footage, Morgan’s daughter was standing side-stage with credentials when she was removed by a member of the venue staff. While not in a public area of the casino, the underage policy apparently extended to the stage itself. The decision didn’t sit well with Morgan, who stopped the show and tore into security before launching into a particularly scathing version of “Remedy”. (The Mosh Network)

A Day To Remember’s Big Ole Album Vol. 1, which arrived earlier this year via an unorthodox physical-first release strategy, landed Top 10 on the Billboard charts before it ever hit streaming. The album features mega-hits “Miracle” (initially released as a stand-alone single in 2022), “Feedback”, “Make It Make Sense” and current single “All My Friends“. The project has been widely praised by fans and media alike with Kerrang! calling it “a powerful, razor-sharp reminder of why ADTR still dominate,” while Rock Sound hailed the record as “a confident, explosive statement from a band whose creative well is nowhere near dry.

The Maximum Fun Tour marks A Day To Remember’s first major North American run since the album’s release and is guaranteed to be an all-out party, the likes of which only A Day To Remember can bring. Don’t miss the opportunity to catch the band firing on all party cannons as they bring their new album to life in the live arena this fall.

Holy Fawn “Beneath A Lightless Star”

“Per Lambgoat, Ice Nine Kills published an Instagram Story featuring “an image of Freddy Krueger [from the A Nightmare on Elm Street series] and Jason [Voorhees, from the Friday the 13th series] grilling together, alongside a link to their merch shop labeled ‘Chop Here. It’s unclear when Ice Nine Kills shared the Instagram Story, but they also posted the image to Facebook and X on May 24 (so it’s safe to assume it was around the same time). It’s also being used as a banner image on their official merch store.” (Loudwire

AVATAR Drop New Single “Captain Goat”; Fall 2025 Tour

The heavy metal visionaries collectively known as AVATAR — vocalist Johannes Eckerström, guitarists Jonas Jarlsby and Tim Öhrström, bassist Henrik Sandelin, and drummer John Alfredsson — have gone from strength to strength to strength over the past several years. There’s the critically acclaimed, 2023-released album Dance Devil Dance, which included rock chart topper “The Dirt I’m Buried In.” There have been scores of sold-out headline shows across the globe and an actual fossil named after them. The list goes on and on. But the band is looking forward to an even brighter future with today’s release of the brand new song “CAPTAIN GOAT.”

Listen here.
Watch the video here.

Avatar “Captain Goat”

“I think it will be very clear to people hearing ‘Captain Goat.’ that the rules once again have changed,” states vocalist Eckerström. “It will always be metal. It will always be Avatar. We will never do the same song twice and we will always find ways to reinvent ourselves. It’s the only way we know how to do this, and the only way to give ourselves a shot at being the best we have ever been. ‘Captain Goat’ uses the motif of Satan and the spirit’s journey through the underworld as a meditation. It is a negotiation with the harsh state of being and finding acceptance as you navigate the ruthless darkness of life.”

Regarding the accompanying visual, he furthers, “In the video, we find a way to play with that, shamelessly lending imagery from various myths, folklore, and legends. Besides, any day I get to see the boys undress for a part is a good day for all of us.”

Additionally, there are forthcoming tours supporting Iron Maiden and Metallica, along with the band’s biggest show EVER in Mexico City. See below for a complete rundown of the band’s planned tour activity for the next two years.

Avatar show no signs of pausing to take a breath in their quest for absolute world domination — much less stopping. There is more new music on the way, as well.

But for now, bow down to the Captain. Captain Goat, that is.

PRESIDENT “In The Name Of The Father”
Nik Nocturnal Leaving

“PRESIDENT, the enigmatic new band set to make their debut at Download Festival 2025, has generated significant buzz with the release of their first single, “In The Name Of The Father,” which dropped on May 15, 2025. The track marks a powerful entry into the rock and metal scene, accompanied by a striking music video featuring the masked members, adding to the band’s mysterious allure. PRESIDENT is scheduled to perform on The Dogtooth Stage at Download Festival on Sunday, June 15, 2025, at 4:25 pm, promising a compelling live debut that fans are eagerly anticipating. This combination of mystery, a strong debut single, and a high-profile festival appearance positions PRESIDENT as one of the most intriguing new acts of 2025, capturing the attention of rock enthusiasts and Download Festival audiences alike.” (Perplexity) 

“The latest masked mystery band making waves, President, have announced their first-ever headlining show. Fans who registered for the group’s newsletter received an email earlier today (May 21) about the performance, which they cleverly referred to as “their first headline rally.” The show is scheduled to take place July 30 at The Garage in London, with support from the synth-rock duo Zetra. The general sale for tickets starts this Friday (May 23) at 10AM local time, and can be purchased through this link.”Attendance is not guaranteed. Action is advised,” the email concludes.” (Loudwire)
