THE AMITY AFFLICTION continue to tease the arrival of their much-anticipated new studio record, HOUSE OF CARDS, with the reveal of a blistering new single - "BLEED."
Released as the band continues their extensive tour of regional Australia, the latest from THE AMITY AFFLICTION lands with impact: A ferocious stride forward for the group into a brand new era of artistry. 
Where previous single "HOUSE OF CARDS" was an emotionally weighted insight into the relationship songwriter JOEL BIRCH and his siblings shared with their mother, "BLEED" has manifested itself into an avenue for Birch to look at public perceptions and personas, versus the reality he exists in every day.
As he explains, "This song is a bit of a 'fuck you' to people online who leave comments like they know me personally, or know anything about what's happening in my life, and a bit of a reminder to myself that I am not beholden to that idea, and I am the person I know myself to be. 'I bleed the way I bleed...' is my way of saying that I am the way I am not the way I am perceived to be by people who don't actually know me and have formed or projected an idea of me onto me by way of social media."
 The release of "BLEED" further positions the HOUSE OF CARDS era as one of the most exciting and defining for THE AMITY AFFLICTION - a band that has been driven by the desire to navigate new creative territory, music that empowers both them as a unit as well as their community of fans who have been with them throughout all their previous chapters. 
HOUSE OF CARDS, the first full-length record to feature clean vocalist JONNY REEVES, is a moment of reinvention - and it is one the band is set to unleash in its full glory across a jam packed year of international touring to come

Stoke-on-Trent, UK's Black Coast have today released their poignant new single "Drown Out" and the official music video (via Papercut Recordings). The stripped-down, acoustic-driven ballad uncovers a new facet of the grunge-nu-metalcore quintet, blending raw vocals with crystal-clear production. When asked about the inspiration behind the track, guitarist Scott Pinnington shared:
"I wrote this song musically and I explained to our singer Charlie about how I was feeling at the time. I've suffered with an eating disorder all my life, and last year I hit rock bottom with it. I didn't want to be here anymore, and felt like I was losing my life being succumbed by the anxiety and depression of living with it. Drowning out the white noise and being in a different state of mind was what I constantly tried to do...to take myself out of my mind. I hope that this song resonates with those who may find themselves either in similar shoes, or understand that state of mind or being, and understand they're not alone." 
ABOUT BLACK COAST
Black Coast are a Grunge / Nu-Metalcore band from Stoke-on-Trent, England. Formed in January 2016 by guitarists Scott Pinnington and Joe Mayer, the lineup was completed by Jack Beardsall (bass), Matty Clark (drums), and Charlie Hewitt (vocals).
After nine years of growth and touring the globe together, Joe Mayer played his final show with the band on 20th December 2025 at a sold-out hometown headline show at The Underground. Two days later, Black Coast announced the permanent addition of Alex Huzar (Forager, Orion), who had previously joined the band as a touring guitarist on the Silly Goose UK headline run.
Rooted in hardcore grooves from the outset, Black Coast have always worn their love of 90s grunge on their sleeves. Over time, their sound has evolved into a heavier, sharper, and more refined force by balancing raw aggression with melody and atmosphere. Lyrically, the band connect deeply with audiences through themes of personal struggle, introspection, mental health, and the challenge of navigating emotional barriers in a relentlessly paced world.
Black Coast released their debut album Outworld on 19th November 2021, with Sam Bloor at Lower Lane Studios helming the recording and production. The record marked a clear turning point from the band's roots: broader dynamics, increased confidence in blending melody with heaviness, and their most personal songwriting to date.
In April 2023, the band self-released their self-titled EP, once again working with Bloor on production duties. Tracks such as "Chains" and "Mercy" built upon the foundations of Outworld, yet showcased further growth in both production quality, songwriting maturity and emotional depth.
More recently, Black Coast have continued to release new material with Bloor, including "Hopeless" and "Without You", expanding lyrically on recurring themes of internal pressure, mental health, overstimulation, and the pursuit of authentic self-expression. The band are currently writing and recording their sophomore full-length release, the follow-up to Outworld.
Black Coast's identity centres on heavy, groove-driven riffs, aggressive vocals offset by melodic hooks, and immersive atmospheric textures. Across their catalogue, their songwriting charts a clear emotional evolution, while staying grounded in the formative influences that continue to drive them, including Alice in Chains, Deftones, Limp Bizkit, and Pantera.
Renowned for their raw energy and emotional intensity on stage, Black Coast's live shows prioritise connection, honesty, and catharsis. Seasoned, resilient, and continually evolving, the band show no signs of slowing down

Sweden's modern metal frontrunners SELF DECEPTION unveil the new single "THE WEDDING" ahead of the upcoming Napalm Records debut album One Of Us, out on May 15. This energetic modern rock anthem features a particularly dark and twisted storyline, delivered through the powerful mix of clean vocals and aggressive screams, accompanied by the heavy combination of dynamic, groovy beats and crushing riffs. The band continues to raise the bar for contemporary rock with their seventh studio album! "THE WEDDING" came into life while the band spent two weeks in Spain for writing sessions, and in the middle of it, drummer Erik Ingels Graham got married. "All of our families came along, and it turned into this beautiful mix of celebration and creativity. On the very night of the wedding, we ended up writing 'THE WEDDING' - but instead of capturing that fantastic day, we twisted it into a dark, dystopian story about a couple who secretly want to kill each other," comments SELF DECEPTION vocalist Andreas Clark. Known for their fiery fusion of anthemic modern metal and powerful melodic rock, SELF DECEPTION have shared stages with the likes of Electric Callboy, Danko Jones, and Adept since their 2009 debut, while racking up millions of streams and video views - including their viral 2022 hit "Fight Fire With Gasoline," with tens of millions of streams. Written on the road during the heaviest touring of SELF DECEPTION's career so far, One Of Us is a cohesive album full of character, made for the stage - and the pit! SELF DECEPTION about One Of Us:
"One Of Us is our new album, inspired by life on the road and the energy of the live stage. Touring so much has put us in a kind of 'live bubble,' and that feeling runs through the songwriting. The album revolves around outsidership and the desire to belong. On tour, we meet many lost and lonely people, all seeking a few hours of escape where they can disappear into a rock show. With One Of Us, we want everyone to feel part of something bigger, to feel like one of us.

On Tuesday (March 3), Ringo Starr announced that he will release his new country album, Long Long Road, on April 24th via Universal Music. This record continues the 85-year-old music legend's ongoing collaboration with producer T Bone Burnett following 2025's Look Up. The Beatles drummer also unveiled the project's first single, "It's Been Too Long," featuring a collaboration with Molly Tuttle and Sarah Jarosz. Starr said, "I'm blessed to have T Bone in my life right now and working with me on these records. After we did the last record, which I love listening to, this one just sort of happened." The 10-track album was recorded in Nashville and Los Angeles with musicians Burnett calls The Texans, named after a 1959 Liverpool band Starr played with. Additional special guests on the album include Billy Strings, Sheryl Crow, and St. Vincent. Starr's spring tour with His All Starr Band begins May 28th in Temecula, California. 

On Tuesday (March 3), The Guess Who announced that they will tour the United States for the first time in 24 years. The reunion tour will feature core members Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman, with the run of shows set to begin on June 25 in Shakopee, Minnesota and conclude on August 22 in Seattle. Former Eagles guitarist Don Felder will open all dates. The duo hadn't performed together as The Guess Who since SARSfest in 2003 and recently reclaimed naming rights after a 2024 legal settlement. "Randy and I are incredibly grateful that our music has endured all these years," Bachman stated. Cummings added, "I'm really excited about reuniting with Burton and touring again as the Guess Who." Their current lineup includes drummer Sean Fitzsimons, bassist Jeff Jones, percussionist Nick Sinopoli, and guitarists Tim Bovaconti and Joe Augello. The U.S. shows follow a previously announced Canadian tour in May and June

BTS announced the complete tracklist for their comeback album, Arirang, which is set for release on March 20th. The 14-song collection features "Swim" serving as the title track and closes with "Into the Sun." The project features a series of high-profile producers including Mike WiLL Made-It, Flume, Diplo, El Guincho, JPEGMAFIA, and Ryan Tedder. This marks the group's first album since 2020, reuniting V, Suga, Jin, Jungkook, RM, Jimin, and J-Hope after completion of their mandatory military service and the release of a series of solo endeavors. The album title comes from a traditional Korean folk song, with BTS explaining that the release "explores universal emotions of longing and love and will resonate with the worldwide audience as a timeless legacy across generations and cultures." Their world tour begins April 9th in Goyang, South Korea, with U.S. dates kicking off in Tampa in late April

Twisted Sister made the announcement that Sebastian Bach will front the band for select fall 2026 dates after singer Dee Snider recently retired from touring due to health challenges. Original members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda will join the former Skid Row vocalist for the limited run of shows. The band scrapped their planned 50th anniversary reunion tour following Snider's resignation. "Twisted Sister members Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda are thrilled to announce that iconic vocalist and front man Sebastian Bach will be fronting the band for a handful of select dates this fall," the group stated. They emphasized the shows won't conflict with Bach's solo touring schedule, which remains intact. No specific tour dates have been announced yet, with details expected in coming weeks. Bach is currently performing his own North American headlining tour through early April. 

Sharon Osbourne announced that Ozzfest will return next year after nearly a decade-long break, revealing that her late husband Ozzy Osbourne supported the festival's continuation before his death. "Yeah, we're gonna do it," Osbourne disclosed at the MIDEM 2026 conference in Cannes, France last month. The last Ozzfest occurred in 2018 at Los Angeles' Forum, just one month before Ozzy became ill. Osbourne recalled conversations with her husband about the festival's future: "Do you think Ozzfest would work without me?" he asked. "Yeah, it's a brand. It will work without you," she replied. Ozzy responded, "We should do it." The revived festival will expand as a touring production while maintaining its heavy metal and hard rock focus, possibly adding more diverse genres to the lineup. Ozzy died on July 22 from cardiac arrest and coronary artery disease weeks after performing a final hometown reunion show with Black Sabbath at Birmingham's Villa Park. 

Kerrigan are one of the most promising newcomers from Germany playing traditional heavy metal. The band was formed in Freiburg in 2019 by Bruno Schotten (guitars, bass) and Jonas Weber (vocals, guitars). The duo recorded a demo tape consisting of original compositions "Intruders", "Force And Will" and "Heavy Metal 2020" plus a cover version of "Rest In Peace" by Wolf (UK). Heavy Metal 2020 was later released by Fucking Kill Records on tape and vinyl (re-issued by High Roller).
For their first full-length album "Bloodmoon", Kerrigan inked a deal with High Roller Records. Bloodmoon was recorded with the help of session drummer Jonathan D ring, an old friend of the band, and received very favorable reviews in the metal press when it was released back in 2023. Together with Jakob on bass, Jonathan now is a regular member of Kerrigan.
Following the release of Bloodmoon and due to the good press reactions, Kerrigan got quite a few offers to play live, among them, some really high-profile gigs, e.g. Keep It True Rising IV, Der Detze Rockt and, last but not least, the Deaf Forever birthday bash at Markthalle Hamburg. According to the band, standing on the same stage as some of their all-time heroes was an uplifting feeling."We could not have wished for better reactions," beams guitarist Bruno Schotten. "Especially the good feedback from the special interest press has motivated us to go one step further. The success of Bloodmoon lasting that long came as a total surprise to us. If you look at the current streaming numbers, the album is still alive and kicking, and it took less than one year for High Roller to re-press the album. For us, that's a wonderful feeling."
Now, three years after Bloodmoon , it's time for the follow-up album by the name of Wayfarer . "Dreamy, melancholic and pretty versatile," this is how guitarist and singer Jonas Weber describes the second Kerrigan album. For him, "Wayfarer" is more or less a direct continuation of Bloodmoon : "Regarding the songwriting, "Wayfarer" continues where Bloodmoon has left off. The idea for the song 'Blood And Steel', for example, dates back to the mixing phase of Bloodmoon at Iguana Studios, and the demo recordings of 'Surrender' and 'Wayfarer' developed parallel to the work on the first album."
"For me, the record is everything I love about bands from the eighties," adds guitarist Bruno Schotten. "Songs, that are accessible but have so many interesting details that they never get boring. We said to ourselves: maybe it's indeed time for a modern heavy metal classic, and I do hope that with songs like 'The Ice Witch' or 'Blood And Steel' we came one step closer to our aim. Furthermore, I'd say that Wayfarer is a very varied album. Apart from orthodox speed metal, you can find everything on there; even a happy, uplifting song like 'Fighter'."
Although "Wayfarer" is not a concept album by any stretch of the imagination, just like on Bloodmoon , Kerrigan chose interesting topics for their individual songs. Take "Dystopia" for example, of which guitarist and singer Jonas Weber says: "This song looks at current technical developments and their repercussions on society." "Basically, George Orwell foresaw all that," adds fellow guitarist Bruno Schotten. "However, in the age of artificial intelligence the old question of power and suppression must be seen under a new light. To give you a rather simple example, even today metal artists create album covers with the help of artificial intelligence, and you can generate entire songs with AI as well. Dystopia, as sung about in our song of the same name, is already a reality. Due to the sheer mass of digital content, our world is losing substance, emotions and genuine human relationships. The door is wide open for the powerful elites and wealthy tech giants to control humanity."
Apart from "The Ice Witch", the leading single of the album, "Blood And Steel" is another outstanding song on Wayfarer , with its accessible chorus coming across like a mixture of Saxon and classic Manowar. Jonas Weber smiles: "I love early Manowar and looking at the title of the song this association seems obvious. 'Blood And Steel' is a team effort of Bruno and me; it has everything Kerrigan stands for." Bruno Schotten adds: "I am looking forward to the fans joining in on the chorus when we perform 'Blood And Steel' live. The song starts off in quite a simple manner, getting more complex with time and culminating in a grand finale, I really like that."
Another highlight on Wayfarer is "Red Light Tower", maybe the most epic number on the record. Bruno Schotten comments: "It's Jonas' stroke of genius! To close the album, it was our aim to once again show variety. On Bloodmoon it was 'Mesmerizer' and here it is 'Red Light Tower', our way to let the album end ..."
Going back to what Bruno had said earlier, maybe Kerrigan actually achieved to create a modern heavy metal classic with "Wayfarer". Only time will tell.MATTHIAS MADE

Swedish rockers Degreed unveiled today the new single and official video "Believe", taken from their new studio album "Curtain Calls", out on April 10, 2026, via Frontiers Music Srl. Vocalist Robin Eriksson described the track as "a straightforward rock song with some synth wave and pop influences. Big chorus! And yes, a love song." Talking about the new album, Eriksson stated: "This is truly one of the best albums we've ever made. Yes, it's a cliche. Yes, a lot of bands say that about every new record they make. But I truly believe this is one of our best, if not THE best. I've never been as focused while making an album as I've been on this one". With "Curtain Calls", Degreed deliver one of the strongest and most focused albums of their career. The band stays fully true to its established sound while refining it with precision: a powerful, contemporary production, technically solid performances, and - most importantly - an outstanding sense of melody and accessibility. Produced by Mats Eriksson, the album strikes an excellent balance between technical craftsmanship and immediate listener appeal. The songs are energetic and polished, yet always approachable, showcasing a confident songwriting style that blends modern punch with classic melodic hard rock sensibilities. "Curtain Calls" positions itself as a very competitive release within the current melodic hard rock landscape: consistent, well-produced, and strongly audience-oriented, while fully preserving the band's identity. Degreed have been releasing critically acclaimed music since the start of their career with their first album "Life, Love, Loss" in 2010. Over the course of their career, the band has gone from strength to strength with every release, touring and gaining fans all over the world. Their sound mixes classic melodic and hard rock sounds with more contemporary influences, offering the fans a very personal, fresh and exciting mix of great rock music. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the band wasn't able to tour on the heels of the release of the album "Lost Generation" in 2019. The band released the song "The World We Knew", their musical summation of the year 2020 (the song became "Track of the Week" at Classic Rock Magazine's website a week after its release) and then in 2021, Degreed began working on what would ultimately become "Are You Ready", released in 2022. Degreed released "Public Address" in July 2023, followed by the EP "The Leftovers - Volume I", in July 2025, diving deep into their vault of unreleased gems. "Curtain Calls" Tracklist: One Helluva RideHolding On To YesterdayBelieveGuiding LightMy BloodCurtain CallsThe RamblerMatter Of The HeartBroken DreamsPromise M
