 We know it ourselves: throwing around superlatives often sounds a bit fishy. Terms like "supergroup" or "ultimate" have been overused, but fear not: today, with LEX LEGION, we're introducing you to a band that truly deserves the title of supergroup! LEX LEGION is a brand-new alliance of seasoned musicians whose roots are deeply embedded in the heavy metal scene. The band brings together four members of the classic King Diamond line-up from the late 1980s: drummer Mikkey Dee, guitarists Pete Blakk and Andy La Rocque, and bassist Hal Patino. The line-up is completed by singer Nils K. Rue from Pagan's Mind. And of course, we know that with these luminaries, the Mot rhead, Scorpions and Death bells are ringing in the heads of metal nerds!
 
The project is aimed at fans of oldschool hard rock and heavy metal, yet at the same time brings a fresh energy that is often unique to a debut release. The band members have decades of experience, but perform today with a relaxed attitude and a close bond of friendship that has grown over more than forty years. The best of both worlds, so to speak! You can now see for yourselves with the first radio single, "Sleep Eternally". The song serves as the opener to the debut album, due out in June, and hits you right from the first few seconds with a blood-curdling scream!
 
"Sleep Eternally" is a defiant declaration of intent that blends hard rock and metal with a clear focus. Like the rest of the album, the track features razor-sharp arrangements and catchy melodies. The music combines technical prowess with a powerful directness that instantly makes your head nod. 
 
""Lex Legion" is totally written the way we thought in the '80s," said drummer Mikkey Dee (Mot rhead, King Diamond, Scorpions). "We wrote what we wanted, and if you liked it, that was a great bonus. If you didn't like it, that was fine with us, too!"
 
Despite the successful careers of all involved and their correspondingly busy schedules, the members see LEX LEGION as a true labour of love that has matured over many years. The first radio single, "Sleep Eternally", is here and hits you like a punch in the face. The self-titled debut album is on its way. And a tour is planned for 2027. Turn it up now, pay homage to LEX LEGION and get in touch with us for interview requests! 

Rising metalcore band Unsettled has officially released their blistering new single "Blood Runs," available now on all major streaming platforms through Arson Theory.

So strap on, put in your headphones and enjoy this ride that they call Unsettled.  With "Blood Runs," Unsettled continues to build momentum, offering listeners an intense sonic experience

Hard rock band 12 Stones have officially released their latest single "World So Cold," featuring Lyric Noel, via Judge & Jury Records in partnership with SV Records. The track, produced by Howard Benson (Daughtry, My Chemical Romance, Skillet, Flyleaf), marks the band's second release with the label.
 
Accompanying the release is an official music video, directed by Michael Levine of Levine Pictures, that vividly brings the song's message to life. The visual narrative explores two contrasting sides of the main character. One side is consumed by anger and the other is weighed down by sadness and emotion. 
 
Featuring Lyric Noel, "World So Cold" is a reignited version of the popular 12 Stones classic. Feeling that we had all lost our sense of humanity, Paul McCoy originally wrote the song in 2006 about the inconceivable tragedies of this world and, as he reflects now, the need for a song like this never truly went away. Almost 20 years later, this song is more relevant than ever. 
 
The song is filled with candid lyrics, such as "What kind of world do we live in? // where love is divided by hate?" Heart-wrenching verses build up to explosive choruses, leaving behind a message that is certain to be remembered.
 
"'World So Cold' is a song I wrote about my view of the world. I wrote this song almost 20 years ago about how messed up the world seemed to me. I can honestly say that I don't feel like it's gotten any better over the last 20 years. I remember sitting in the lounge of the music studio messing around with an acoustic guitar while the TV was on in the background. I saw a news story about another person on a shooting rampage, and in that moment, I just started singing the melody that became 'World So Cold'. I realized that all humans can become a byproduct of their environments.  The song is about believing in hope in hopeless times," says McCoy.
 
Lyric Noel adds, "I was incredibly honored that out of all the singers out there, they chose me to be part of the re-release of 'World So Cold.' It's such a powerful song that already carries so much emotion and history, so getting the chance to lend my voice to it meant a lot to me. Filming the music video was an amazing experience, and the visuals really bring the story and atmosphere of the song to life in a beautiful way. Being part of this new chapter of 'World So Cold' alongside 12 Stones is something I'm truly grateful for."
 
Founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson and Neil Sanderson (drummer and songwriter of Three Days Grace), Judge & Jury brings decades of success in the rock world, offering extensive promotional, production, and songwriting resources. 

Lindsey Buckingham hinted at possible new collaboration with Stevie Nicks following their 2025 reunion to promote their reissued 1973 album Buckingham Nicks. In a social media video, Buckingham said the album's rerelease created "a resurgence of connection between Stevie and myself" that suggests future projects together. The former Fleetwood Mac duo reconciled after years of tension, which culminated in Buckingham's 2018 firing from the band reportedly at Nicks' request. Nicks confirmed in October 2025 they were talking again, calling their relationship "up and down and difficult, but fantastic." Buckingham remains cautious but optimistic, stating he believes their renewed connection "will translate to something good and something wonderful." He's also completing a solo album that's "one song away from being finished" and mentioned an upcoming Fleetwood Mac documentary

To coincide with the announcement, the single "Far Off Grace", along with an official video, are available today. Andy Kuntz commented: "The single "Far Off Grace" exemplifies the unpretentious, pure, and at the same time artistic, multifaceted acoustic expression of all the songs on "AcCult II". They say you can recognize a good song when it works even in a stripped-down version. Compared to the studio version first released in 1999, however, this interpretation opens up on top many new avenues of understanding". "It allows the song's once bombastic beauty to blossom in the virtuosic interplay between Stephan Lill's exquisite guitar work, Alessandro Del Vecchio's shimmering grand piano, and Kuntz's vocals, ranging from sensitive to ecstatic - only to then be driven, by the unbridled power of an exceptional band with Andreas Lill on drums and Torsten Reichert on bass, to a hypnotically intensifying, furiously breathtaking finale", he added. "This is far more than an acoustic version of a song; it is the ultimate reinvention of a classic in its own light." "AcCult II" is the highly anticipated acoustic sequel to Vanden Plas' 1996 landmark album "AcCult". Stephan Lill explained how the album came to life: "When we released our first acoustic CD, "AcCult", in 1996, it was special to us in many ways. For this release, we arranged songs from our debut album, "Colour Temple", into new acoustic versions. And we did the same with songs by other artists or bands that didn't necessarily fit our usual musical style. Ever since that release, we'd always had it in the back of our minds to produce another acoustic CD at some point. But then came tours, more regular CDs, many theatre productions we were involved in, and time flew by..." "When Frontiers approached us with the idea of another acoustic CD, we knew that we had the time needed for it, and with the right songs, it could work. And we can now say, it worked out. We sticked with the concept of the first "AcCult" CD, and so "AcCult II" once again features acoustic versions of Vanden Plas songs, as well as two cover songs: "Nothing Else Matters" (Metallica) and "Boat on the River" (Styx)", he continued. "We are more than happy that, exactly 30 years later, we can write the next "AcCult" chapter. And all Vanden Plas fans can look forward to a truly extraordinary release." Building on the innovative concept that first reimagined tracks from their debut "Colour Temple" in a stripped-down, unplugged setting, this new release revisits select songs from their extensive catalog with fresh acoustic arrangements, offering fans a completely new perspective on the band's music. In addition to reworked originals like "Far Off Grace", "Holes In The Sky", "The Ghost Xperiment", and "You Fly", "AcCult II" features inspired interpretations of classic songs by other artists, including Styx's "Boat On The River" and Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters", blending reverence for the originals with Vanden Plas' signature emotional depth and musical sophistication. Notably, John Helliwell of Supertramp makes a guest appearance on saxophone on the album's closing track, "You Fly", adding a unique, melodic touch to the album's finale. The album showcases the band's current lineup - Andy Kuntz (vocals), Stephan Lill (guitars), Andreas Lill (drums), Thorsten Reichert (bass), and Alessandro Del Vecchio (keyboards) - whose synergy brings a nuanced warmth to each track. With "AcCult II", Vanden Plas demonstrates that their progressive sensibilities translate seamlessly into intimate, acoustic settings, creating a compelling experience that resonates both with longtime fans and newcomers alike
