Rock & Metal Bands Are Using AI For Everything
Which METALLICA Album Is Better? St. Anger VS Lulu
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 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-acclaimedSANGUIVOREera with a phenomenal performance of the album at a sold-out, intimate KOKO show. And, as has become custom in theCREEPERworld, 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 CREEPERcome 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(Ghost, Rammstein, The 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 Ghouldconducts the chaos from center stage, while his bandmates run riot and pyros detonate.
After Kerrang!observed thatCREEPER’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

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’sBig 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.

“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)
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.”
“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.
