Today, the Lancaster, PA-based quintet shares the video for "Forever." The song weaves contemplative verses with epic and explosive choruses and breakdowns, and it ultimately demonstrates the band's deftness with dynamics.
"'Forever' came together at the very end of the record, almost like it was waiting for everything else to fall into place before it could exist," Brandyberry shares. "There's a sense of finality to it, like standing in the aftermath of something you can't fix, realizing too late where it all went wrong. It paints a picture of how it feels when regret won't let go."
He continues, "We pushed ourselves further than we ever have on this one. We made choices that felt uncomfortable, but that's what helped shape it into something different for us. The goal wasn't to play it safe; it was to evolve and create something that sticks with you. 'Forever' doesn't resolve cleanly...It lingers, and that's exactly what we wanted."
As for the album as a whole, the band explains, "It's not a concept album by design, but there's a common theme running through it - that feeling of being stuck in a kind of purgatory, where you can almost see something better ahead of you, but there's always something dragging you back down."
It is also a moment for From Ashes to New, but not simply a moment in time. The band finishes, "This record is a reflection of who we were while making it, but even more than that, it's a statement of who we're becoming. Every song helped shape a sound that feels honest to where we're headed, not where we've been. We didn't hold anything back, and you can hear that in every moment."
The 12-track REFLECTIONS is the follow-up to 2023's BLACKOUT, which achieved the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. It was a massive success. Yet, in late 2023, FROM ASHES TO NEW arrived at a creative crossroads. The group wrapped up demos for 16 songs for what was supposed to be their fifth studio album. However, instead of sprinting towards the finish line and completing the record, the band scrapped those demo sessions. The process went against everything the band had ever done before. But largely starting anew -they kept two songs-was liberating. The band collectively knew it had to make something that remained true to their traditional sound yet broadened the tent to capture the ears and focus of a fresh audience. "I wanted to take what we are good at and push it even further," Brandyberry says. "That was the process for this whole record."
As a result, fans can hear a reinvigorated FROM ASHES TO NEW on REFLECTIONS

Oklahoma Rockers Hillbilly Vegas have dropped their new single & video for "Mr. Midnight", which was written by and features Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductee Paul Rodgers (Bad Company).  The track is the 2nd single from their new album "A La Mode", which is slated for release on May 8th via Quarto Valley Records.  It's the follow-up to the hit "I Hope You Know", which is at #20 on the Rock Radio charts and still climbing.
 
"Mr. Midnight" is a heavy, electric blues-rock song that has a retro feel of ZZ Top 'Tush' mixed with the modern blues sound of Christone "Kingfish" Ingram.   The edgy and slinky guitar riffs evoke images of Beale Street late at night, whiskey in hand, while on the prowl for good trouble - buoyed by the unmistakable Paul Rodgers ethos of classic 70's rock and roll.
 
Paul Rodgers says "I wrote "Mr. Midnight" a few years ago when I was writing songs - that to my surprise  - became an album 'Midnight Rose'. I had no idea that the songs would become an album.  But when Sun Records said that they would be interested in releasing a Paul Rodgers album you would have to be mad not to accept.  I actually forgot that I had the song and that is why it was not included on the 'Midnight Rose' album. Bassist Todd Ronning from my solo band - who later joined Bad Company - played on the demo track for the song and was familiar with it".
 
He continues "The song started with the guitar riff. I had it floating around in my mind, and I built the song around that. When I was looking for lyrics I was inspired by a feline.  Cynthia, my wife, has a number of rescued cats, and there was one black cat in particular named Jasper. His coat was so sleek and black that I nicknamed him Mr. Midnight. You can let your imagination take it from there.  When I heard Hillbilly Vegas' recording of 'Mr. Midnight' - Steve (Harris) did such a great job, I felt they had it well covered.  I did not want to disturb the flow created in their recording, but I had made a promise to the boys in the band - so I sang some lines, and it turned out very well."
Hillbilly Vegas' Steve Harris adds "Being part of something like this with Paul, who's had such an impact on how we all hear rock and roll, was an incredible experience that we still can't quite believe happened. His voice, his phrasing and the way he approaches a song...that's the blueprint.  It raises the bar, but it also reminds you why you started doing this in the first place, because you realize you're not just making a record, you're stepping into a lineage that guys like Paul built."

The video for "Mr. Midnight" was filmed in Oklahoma and produced by the band.  Harris explains: We shot the video in our warehouse and it was directed by Jon Wright. He kept it organic and simple...nothing forced, just capturing the band the way we really are. And having Paul appear in the video... that's just as cool as it gets!  It's one thing to share a track with him, but to have him visually be part of it too-that takes it to another level."
 
The band's 2nd full length album, "A La Mode", will be released on May 8th.  It features 11 tracks and will be available in digital, CD, and Vinyl LP formats.   Pre-orders start Monday, April 20th.

Breakthrough country artist Payton Smith captures the vulnerable thrill of unspoken feelings on his new single, "See How It Sounds," out now. Centered around the quiet tension of two people circling around three life-changing words, the track bottles the nerves, anticipation, and honesty of love waiting to be said. Written by Payton Smith alongside Austin Goodloe and Ava Suppelsa, the song pairs intimate lyricism with Smith's signature guitar work, allowing the emotion to build naturally into a memorable instrumental outro. "'See How It Sounds' is about that moment when the words are right there, but nobody's said them yet," says Payton. "It's two people dancing around 'I love you,' waiting to see who's gonna go first. It's simple, a little nervous, and honest in the best way. The guitar says what the words can't in the outro. Sometimes you just have to let 'I love you' fly... just to see how it sounds." Louisiana native and self-taught guitarist Payton Smith first broke out in 2019, quickly amassing more than 50 million streams on his debut single, "Like I Knew You Would." The former CMT Listen Up artist has earned major playlist support from Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and TIDAL, while MusicRow named him a Next Big Thing. Following his 2022 signing with Combustion Masters, Smith released "Missed The Boat" and his debut album, What Colors Your Wild, continuing to build momentum with standout playlist placements and a growing fanbase. No stranger to major stages, Smith has supported runs with Brantley Gilbert, ZZ Top, Lee Brice, Dylan Scott, Lily Rose, and Priscilla Block, while also sharing stages with Jordan Davis, Chris Young, and Mitchell Tenpenny. With "See How It Sounds," Smith once again turns a quiet, deeply relatable moment into something lasting, blending honesty and guitar-driven warmth into a track that lingers long after the final note

Rising country artist Faith Schueler embraces temptation with her irresistible new single, "Trouble," out now. The track is flirty, reckless, and catchy, capturing the thrill of falling for someone you know you should avoid, and loving every second.  Written by Faith Schueler alongside Kevin Monahan and Jason Earley, "Trouble" spins a vivid country-night scene. Cowboy hats, barstool flirtations, and the magnetic pull of bad decisions that feel just a little too good come alive in the lyrics. With lines like "the brown eyes under that cowboy hat looking back at me" and "I know I shouldn't be falling, but boy I'm diving in," the song taps into that familiar push-and-pull between caution and chemistry, all wrapped in a boot-stomping melody built for dance floors and sing-alongs. "I went into a write with Kevin and Jason, and we started talking about relationships and life. I told them my mom always says I have a 'bad picker' when it comes to guys... and honestly, she might not be wrong," shares Faith. "Somewhere in that conversation, I said, 'I think I just like trouble,' and that line kind of stuck with us. Next thing you know, we're writing a song about being drawn to exactly the kind of person you know you should stay away from." Driven by playful lyricism and a confident vocal delivery, "Trouble" perfectly showcases Schueler's ability to turn real-life experiences into songs that feel both deeply personal and instantly relatable. The track balances classic country imagery, tattoos, black boots, and smooth talkers, with a modern female perspective that is bold, self-aware, and refreshingly honest. Schueler is no stranger to big stages, having shared the spotlight with Lady A, Scotty McCreery, Conner Smith, Hank Williams Jr., and more, while also performing at the Grand Ole Opry and most recently joining Riley Green and Ella Langley onstage at Riverfront Revival. An active member of Song Suffragettes and The Women of Country, who named her an Artist to Watch for 2025, she has also collaborated with acclaimed Nashville songwriters including Charles Kelley, Eric Paslay, and Marcus Hummon, earning recognition from Country Music Association, CMT, Holler, and beyond. With "Trouble," Schueler once again proves her knack for pairing sharp storytelling with irresistible country hooks, further establishing herself as one of the genre's most exciting emerging voices

Multi-platinum recording artist, songwriter, producer, and philanthropist ZAYN releases his highly-anticipated fifth studio album, KONNAKOL, via Mercury Records. KONNAKOL is ZAYN's most culturally inspired project to date. While he has consistently drawn from South Asian vocal and rhythmic traditions throughout his music, those influences are brought into sharper focus here. The pop-forward album expands on the sound fans first heard on his record-breaking debut studio album, Mind of Mine. The album is co-produced by ZAYN alongside Malay (Frank Ocean, Lorde) who he previously worked with on Mind of Mine and Icarus Falls. The snow leopard, a profound symbol in South Asia, on the album art showcases how deeply his heritage has inspired the record. The 15-track album is preceded by lead single "Die For Me," and "Sideways," an atmospheric pop R&B record driven by ZAYN's signature falsetto. Opening track "Nusrat," an ode to Pakistani musician Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, serves as the creative anchor of KONNAKOL, setting the vocal experimentation and sonic direction that shaped the album. The latest single "Side Effects" leans into sleek, radio-ready pop R&B, pairing warm synths with his signature falsetto as he explores the complexities of love and devotion. "Fatal" introduces a more dance-driven energy, designed for the live stage with buoyant basslines and an infectious pulse, while "Breathe" offers a softer, atmospheric moment of release. Full tracklisting below. In support of the release, ZAYN will make his first late-night TV interview alongside a performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on April 21, followed by an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on April 23. He also kicked off album release week gracing the cover of ELLE India, highlighting the global cultural influence behind the album. ZAYN will kick off his largest solo tour to date, The KONNAKOL Tour, on May 12, 2026 in Manchester, UK. The tour will span major cities across the globe, including London, Los Angeles, Mexico City, S o Paulo, and more before concluding on Friday, November 20 in Miami, FL at Kaseya Center. Earlier this year ZAYN wrapped his first-ever Las Vegas residency, where he debuted and teased unreleased material from KONNAKOL. Variety praised his performance, "he delivered pristine vocals, his signature falsetto and a noticeably stronger stage presence than on his last tour." Full tour routing below. The album arrives after 2024's critically acclaimed Room Under the Stairs, followed by his first ever solo tour across the U.S., UK and Mexico. He most recently teamed up with BLACKPINK's Jisoo on "Eyes Closed", which earned a 2026 iHeartRadio Music Award nomination for Favorite K-Pop Collaboration and made an impressive global impact - debuting at #10 on the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart (43.9M streams first week), #72 on the US Hot 100, #21 on Spotify Global and topping iTunes in over 40 countries. KONNAKOL Tracklisting:1. Nusrat2. Betting Folk3. Used to the Blues4.

Canadian-born, Nashville-based artist Taylor-Rae has released her latest single, "Two Years in Two Weeks," available now on all streaming platforms. Written by Taylor-Rae, Madelyn Paquette, and Jordyn Pollard, and produced by The Renaissance, "Two Years in Two Weeks" captures the bittersweet sting of a breakup that was a long time coming. It's the kind of song that hits differently because it doesn't just mourn the end of a relationship, it questions the story we're told at the very end of one. "Two Years in Two Weeks tells the story of a breakup that was seemingly inevitable," Taylor-Rae shares. "After years of telling your partner exactly what you needed, it took a breakup for that person to finally 'change.' This song questions the sincerity behind the 'I've Changed,' and argues that you can't erase years of hurt with two weeks of doing all of the right things." It's a sentiment that resonates far beyond any single relationship. How many people have stayed too long, asked too much, and received too little, only to watch the person they loved transform the moment they walked out the door? With a gift for turning personal truth into universal feeling, Taylor-Rae gives voice to that quiet frustration, blending country storytelling with unflinching emotional honesty. The result is a track that feels both deeply personal and universally understood. This is a new chapter for Taylor-Rae, one where she is introducing herself to the world like never before. With "Two Years in Two Weeks" and the music to come, she is stepping into her story fully, unapologetically, and on her own terms. This is an artist finding her voice and making sure the world hears it

Fans of quality Melodic Hard Rock will have no problem remembering the 1990 debut from Blue Tears. With its loving mix of Bon Jovi meets Def Leppard hard-hitting riffs and melodies, this was one band that really should have scaled the heights. Back in 2005, the band were invited to play the second ever edition of the Firefest Festival. Gregg and the boys put on one hell of a show for their one and only ever full-electric set in Europe. Also included is an Attraction 65 song from Gregg's solo project. Sure, it was raw and wild, but the adoring fans loved every minute. Now that fateful night is presented here, in all its untouched/no overdubs glory. Of course, main man Greg Fulkerson died tragically in April 2009. "Live In The UK" represents a chance to see him and the boys honouring their legacy, up close, raw and personal. "Live At The UK" will be released digital and as a ltd. edition CD (300 copies only) which will be exclusively sold via shop.prideandjoy.de and wholesale. THE BANDGregg Fulkerson (Lead vocals, guitar, keyboards)Bryan Hall (Guitar, vocals)Michael Spears (Bass, vocals)Charlie Lauderdale (Drums

Today, FRONTIERS RECORDS shares the new single "When The Heartache Has Gone," a new rendition of the Revolution Saints track, featuring Mattias Olofsson (Grand). The track was originally released in 2019 by the supergroup featuring Deen Castronovo (Journey), Doug Aldrich (The Dead Daisies, Whitesnake, Dio), and Jack Blades (Night Ranger).
This new version is part of the upcoming 'XXX Anniversary Compilation,' a special project celebrating 30 years of passion, creativity, and unforgettable music. The record is set for release on May 22, 2026, and will be only available on CD, on the label's webstore.
Mattias comments on the new track:
"I was truly honored when I was asked to help celebrate the 30th anniversary of FRONTIERS. I've always been a big fan of Deen Castronovo's voice, so I was especially excited to take on a song by Revolution Saints. I hope you all enjoy it."
Starting from an idea of Serafino Perugino, the 'XXX Anniversary Compilation' brings together some of the greatest melodies and voices from the world of melodic rock. This special release celebrates the label's rich legacy by revisiting iconic tracks from the FRONTIERS catalogue, reimagined with dynamic new performances from an extraordinary lineup of guest vocalists.

Aldo Lonobile, Head of A&R Europe at FRONTIERS LABEL GROUP and producer of the record, comments: 
"Producing the 30th anniversary record for FRONTIERS RECORDS has been both an honor and a responsibility. This label has built a legacy on passion and vision, and, with this album, we wanted to celebrate that history in a meaningful way. Having a mix of established and new generation of FRONTIERS artists reinterpret the iconic tracks that shaped our identity is more than a tribute - it's a bridge between eras.
"With a tracklist discussed together with the FRONTIERS President Serafino Perugino, this record is a celebration of where we come from, and a powerful statement of where we're headed", he continued.
Under the expert production of Lonobile - who also performs part of the guitars on the album - the performances are backed by a stellar lineup of musicians: Alessandro Mammola (guitar), Andrea Arcangeli (bass), Cristian Timpanaro (bass), the keyboards team - Alessio Lucatti & Antonio Agate, Alfonso Mocerino, and Fortunato Grillo on drums, delivering powerful new arrangements that bring renewed energy to these fan-favorite tracks.

Whether you're a lifelong supporter or discovering these songs for the first time, this album delivers powerful performances, soaring melodies, and the unmistakable spirit of FRONTIERS

After numerous world tours, 10 full-length albums, and globally recognized acclaim, unstoppable groove metal legends DEVILDRIVER remain full speed ahead in their second decade of decimation. Today, the band announces their explosive eleventh full length, Strike and Kill, out July 10 via Napalm Records. With the all-star lineup of frontman and mastermind Dez Fafara, virtuoso guitar duo of Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold, eruptive drummer Davier Ortega Perez, and the return of founding bass legend Jon Miller, Strike and Kill sees DEVILDRIVER return to their carnivorous origin, reigniting the incendiary sound that founded their legacy, a must listen for all fans of the genre.
Dez Fafara on Strike and Kill:"My headspace hasn't changed, I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record we focused on 'getting it all out' lyrically, and backing those lyrics with savage, relentless music that fuels the heavy California groove like no other. DEVILDRIVER has never sounded like any other band, we do our own thing in our own way, and I'm the most proud of that.
"I'm so proud of these musicians, this music, and the vibe around this record. DevilDriver sounds like no one else out there right now, we are here to Strike and Kill!"
Alongside today's announcement, they unleash the fierce album opener upon the masses. Debuting yesterday on SXM's Liquid Metal, "Dig Your Own Grave," is a vitriolic onslaught of machine gun riffs and uncompromising aggression, lyrically lambasting fools responsible for their own undesirable fates. Full of piss and vinegar, this is DEVILDRIVER at maximum ferocity, giving listeners just a taste of the unspeakable carnage waiting within Strike and Kill.
About the track, Fafara states:"'Dig Your Own Grave' is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively 'digging' your own grave... it's that simple.
"It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there's the line 'Six feet ain't deep enough for you,' because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you've done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at midnight.

Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the return of the hard rock supergroup Iconic, featuring Michael Sweet (guitars), Joel Hoekstra (guitars), Marco Mendoza (bass), Tommy Aldridge (drums), and Nathan James (vocals), for their sophomore album 'II,' scheduled for July 31, 2026.
To celebrate the announcement, the band shares the new single and accompanying lyric video, "Cry No More," available now.
Michael Sweet commented:
"It's been a long time coming, and the time is finally here! It's an absolute honor to be a part of such an incredible band, and 'Cry No More' is the perfect representation of who Iconic is. Music that takes you back to the best of times and reminds you that rock is still alive and well!"
"It's a pleasure to work with these fantastic musicians in Iconic. 'Cry No More' should give classic rock fans something raw and real in terms of both playing and production. Crank it up!", Joel Hoekstra added.
Nathan James also stated,
"I'm so pleased to have made another album with these incredible musicians. I hope everyone enjoys this first single, 'Cry No More', and the whole album."
"Well, the time is here, folks, finally ICONIC - 'II' is coming to you, with the first single 'Cry No More' coming soon!" Marco Mendoza exclaimed. "Like always, it's a blast and quite an honor to be part of a project like this, with all these players! Take a listen and enjoy! Viva la ROCK!!!
