Today, AIRBOURNE is announcing their new self-titled album in a truly original manner. See below the band's heartfelt letter to Lemmy, sharing their journey through this album's process and paying homage to their mentor and friend.The announcement is accompanied by the album's first single, "Alive After Death (Last Plane Out)." The track's new music video is also out now!


Dear Lemmy,Well, mate, it's been a long time since we've said "g'day" or shared a stage together.We've never forgotten one of the things you said to us, which was: "No matter what,stay true to yourselves. Don't worry about all the other bullshit in the music industry.Make music that your roadies will like. Because they've heard your shit more thananyone else, if they like it, everyone will love it."Mate, we did it.Six years ago, we shut the roller doors to everyone and got to work writing songs forthis record, spending many, many hours, many, many days, weeks, months, and yearswriting and writing, throwing things out, starting again, and always sifting for gold.After about five years of this, we felt that we had a solid bunch of Rock'n'Roll songshappening. Then, Mutt Lange and Bryan Adams brought in their big guns, and a coupleof those songs we wrote with them have made the record. We wrote a lot with Bryan,and he was incredibly inspiring, and we learned a lot from him - a true rock 'n' rollgentleman. At that point, a long-time mate of ours, Vick Wright, flew out to Australia,and we wrote and wrote and wrote some more with him. He's a rock 'n' roll streetpoet, and he taught us a lot as well. We ended up with some real good rockers withhim.We sent everything to Brian Howes, and he said we have a solid record now, and hewas pumped to work his magic.Dante from Spinefarm, who has been a real champion all along the way on this record,gave us the green light to make 'Airbourne.'We shipped out a ton of gear from our Manchester compound and from all over theworld, loaded it into a semi-tonne truck, and drove it up the Eastern guts of Australiafrom Melbourne to Music Farm Studios, hidden in a jungle on the surf coast ofAustralia.

Eminem celebrated 18 years of sobriety by sharing a commemorative coin photo on Instagram. The 53-year-old rapper received congratulations from industry friends including Questlove, Big Sean, and DJ D-Nice. Marshall Mathers has been transparent about his recovery journey following an accidental methadone overdose in December 2007. His addiction problems began in the early 2000s during 8 Mile filming. "I was taking so many pills that I wasn't even taking them to get high anymore, I was taking them to feel normal," he told Rolling Stone in 2011. At his peak, he consumed 40 to 60 Valium and 20 to 30 Vicodin daily. His friend Proof's death in 2006 worsened his spiral until a 2008 wake-up call.

SharpTone Records is thrilled to welcome Glasswaves, a Rochester, New York-based trio that seamlessly blends dark pop, alternative rock, and electronic elements with a heavy and dynamic edge, to the global roster.
Today, the band has shared the video for gloomy and glitchy new single "fvck.me.up." 
"What started as a completely different idea slowly turned into a mix of electronic textures and heavy guitars that just felt right," shares singer Noah Rich. "Once the chorus came together, everything really clicked into place. At its core, the song is about destructive love and emotional dependency that pulls you toward something you know isn't good for you but can't let go of."
He finishes, "Within the world we're building as Glasswaves, it reflects that loss of control and the feeling of giving yourself over to something bigger, whether that's a person, a system, or something inside your own mind. This track is the first piece of a bigger story that will keep unfolding with every release."
Stay tuned for more.
Regarding their new label home, Glasswaves says, "Being able to say Glasswaves is signed to SharpTone Records is honestly surreal. It's a label we've looked up to for a long time, and knowing we're also connected to the legacy of Nuclear Blast makes it even more meaningful. Starting this new chapter with our single 'fvck.me.up' feels like a perfect way to begin."
 Formed in May 2023, the lineup is rounded out by Owen Miller on guitar and Brendan Curtis on bass. In a short time, they have built a reputation for pairing atmospheric melody with explosive intensity, creating a sound that is both cinematic and emotionally raw.
Their music moves fluidly between haunting, electronic driven verses and massive, high impact moments, offering a balance of accessibility and aggression that resonates across genres. Paired with their war paint aesthetic, Glasswaves deliver a live show that is immersive, visceral, and visually striking.
In 2025, the band won the grand prize at the Ernie Ball Battle of the Bands and earned a main stage performance at Warped Tour. That same year, they toured extensively, performing nearly 60 shows and spending close to 80 days on the road, quickly establishing themselves as a compelling and consistent live act.
Now signed to Sharptone Records, Glasswaves are positioned for rapid growth as they continue to push boundaries and connect with a new generation of listeners. With a sound that refuses to be confined to a single genre and a proven work ethic on the road, the band stands ready to make a lasting impact across the alternative and heavy music space.
