Norwegian hard rockers Audrey Horne have released their eighth studio album, ‘Achilles', out via Napalm Records. Big riffs, powerful melodies, soaring vocals, and tons of hard rock energy that combines classic 70s and 80s influences into something notably substantial and cinematic sounding. Yet, it's not without experimentation and, in an interesting twist, has a rawer edge that seeps through and gives it a ‘live' feel.

On May 8th, 2026, IATT returned with their most immersive and conceptually daring work to date, Etheric Realms of the Night, released through Black Lion Records. The album unfolds as a continuous narrative that explores the fragile boundary between sleep and oblivion, consciousness and illusion, life and whatever waits beyond it. Accompanying the album is a full companion film that visually realises the narrative behind the music. Presented as a continuous sequence of interconnected videos, the film follows a young woman struggling with insomnia who turns to sleeping pills in search of rest. As the story unfolds, she is drawn deeper into a dream world where the boundary between hallucination and reality collapses. Each chapter mirrors the psychological descent heard in the album, moving through sleep paralysis, night terrors, and encounters with mysterious dream entities before culminating in a haunting final transformation. Designed to be experienced alongside the record, the film expands Etheric Realms of the Night into a unified audiovisual journey where music, symbolism, and story move together. In this interview, we spoke to rhythm guitarist Alec Pezzano about the film, the album, exploring new creative directions for IATT, growing the band, playing live, and so much more.

While it might not be a country that immediately comes to mind when thinking of modern European alternative metal, Lithuania can proudly boast that it has produced Black Spikes, one of the most exciting heavy bands heard in a while. In this interview, we chatted to lead vocalist Agni about the new album, the journey the band has been on to make it a reality, how they explore their artistry in different ways, getting their music heard outside of their home country, working with a label like Napalm, and so much more.

LUGOSi is a punk-hardcore band that has established itself in just a few years as a staple of the Parisian underground scene. Drawing from post-hardcore, noise-rock and screamo, its five members unleash a unique intensity — both musical and emotional — driven by raw, sharp-edged lyrics. Their second album, 'The Scars', is due out on September 18th, 2026. A visceral album, addressing both political and personal themes. It explores memory, trauma, and powerlessness, but also the surges of solidarity and hope that help us endure an increasingly violent world. In this interview, we chatted to lead vocalist Pieriv and bassist/keyboardist/vocalist Arthur about the new album, and much more.

German trio Future Palace are back with their brand-new album, ‘Resurgence', out on July 31st, 2026, via Century Media Records. An exploration of isolation, inner conflict, and the struggle to rebuild oneself. With each new release, Future Palace grow in confidence. Not just expanding their sound in memorable ways but digging deeper into more personal territory. Creating a whirlwind of emotive noise that combines post hardcore heaviness, deeply expressive melody, and cinematics that burst with vibrancy. The best Future Palace album yet? We spoke to vocalist Maria about Resurgence and how it heralds a new chapter for the band, one of strength and happiness.

Negative Frame, the London-based metallic hardcore band, will release their long-awaited debut album, ‘Break the Ice', on August 7th, 2026, via Blood Blast Distribution. Few bands go into their debut album as refined as Negative Frame, but the noise-mongers have been doing this since 2017. That's almost a decade of head-banging and spin-kicking wild antics and anybody who has seen them live can attest to their intensity, and brilliance. It's hardcore, but hardcore with a thick and sinewy metallised edge, and on this album, they push their sound in bold new directions. In this interview, we talked about the release and how Negative Frame have scratched and clawed their way to success. We talk about their evolving sound, experimenting on this album, becoming more comfortable in their skins, tearing it up live, and so much more.

Mountainscape, the cinematic post-metal band from Reading, England, are back with their brand-new EP, ‘Traversing Realms', out July 24th, via Road Masochist. A journey through the music and works of imagination that had inspired their own creative endeavours. The vision behind this EP is fascinating.

Red Method are back with their brand-new EP, ‘As in Life', which is out now via Depraved Records. An EP that explores unfiltered mental suffering, journeying through a barren landscape of dark themes including misanthropy, solipsism, angst, grief, disaffection, psychosis, and rejection. Their vision has never seemed clearer, and while their evolution might have been initially forced, they have taken control of it.

World dominating alternative rock and metal band, Siamese, are back with their most personal release to date. Called ‘dissolution', the new album was released on June 26th, 2026, via Long Branch Records. Forced to evolve when one of the band's main songwriters left, Siamese have had to stop and take a long at themselves and in doing so they have discovered a new side to what they can do. Not only more personal, but more collaborative, allowing them to both experiment and focus on what they do so well. Which just so happens to be anthems, engaging and magnetic anthems.

An album that proven to be very successful, something that has resulted in Cwfen touring extensively with Paradise Lost and Faetooth as well as playing Desertfest London 2026 and Download Festival 2026.

'Every House We Built' is the debut album from Exploring Birdsong, out 26th June via Long Branch Records. At its core, Every House We Built is an album about relationships, friendships, family ties and romance. Using the metaphor of houses to frame the fragile and evolving nature of these bonds. As an album, it's not a complex metaphor but it works well as everyone can relate to it in some way or another, and the strength of feeling in the album shines brightly. Brimming with heart and soul, it's a very special listen and one of my favourites of the year. We spoke with all three members of the band, Lynsey Ward (lead vocals/piano/keyboards), Jonny Knight (bass guitar/synths/keyboards), and Matt Harrison (drums /percussion), about the album and go in depth into the work that has gone into making it a reality, as well as so much more.

Bristol's progressive sludge quartet Urzah, are back with their much-anticipated sophomore album ‘A Tranquil Void'. It is the follow-up to their critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Scorching Gaze' (2024, APF Records). The band's sonic world draws on both the intensely personal – rage, loss, grief and self-doubt – and a profound awe and vulnerability in the face of the celestial and natural worlds, framing visceral human struggle within vast cycles of death, decay and rebirth. Conceptually, ‘The Scorching Gaze' and ‘A Tranquil Void' function as a visual, musical and thematic diptych; where their debut burned brightly with the rage and destruction of an erupting volcano, their new LP captures the cathartic, contemplative still that follows. Across 8 tracks, ‘A Tranquil Void' pushes Urzah's sound even further, combining brutal riffs, complicated meter and searing guitar tone with deeper explorations of space, dynamics and atmosphere, incorporating folk influences and drones built from cello and guitar. ‘A Tranquil Void' will be released on June 5th, 2026, via APF Records. Recorded at Stage 2 Studios, Bath, in November 2025, the LP was produced, mixed and mastered by Josh Gallop. Cello was provided by Luke Clemenger, with additional vocals from Dave Cook (Empire of Dust), Chris Wilson (Row of Ashes) and Victoria Bourne (The Spark's Desire). The album artwork was created by Indonesian artist Putra Satria Nugraha. To celebrate the release of their new album, Urzah are hosting a launch party at Exchange Bristol (main room) on Saturday 25th July with special guests HUNDRED YEAR OLD MAN, MOUNTAINSCAPE and DEAD SPACE CHAMBER MUSIC.

Who On Earth cut its teeth through relentless gigging across the New York tri-state area, with founding members Coosh and Pete previously tearing up stages as MadHaus. During 2020, the longtime collaborators shifted focus from covers to original material, quickly writing ten songs and entering Sonic Stomp Studio with producer Mike Orlando (Category 7, Adrenaline Mob). Joined by drummer Joe D'Aqui, the group crafted a heavy, story-driven sound rooted in influences like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Alice in Chains, and Tool. Despite pandemic delays, the sessions yielded their debut full-length album Blame', released in October 2022. Following the addition of guitarists Bruce Gatewood and Johnny James Barone, the band gained traction with a heavier reimagining of Toto's “Hold the Line,” now their most-streamed track. Lineup changes continued with drummer Howie Fallon joining in 2024, bringing renewed chemistry and power, though tragedy struck later that year with the passing of Gatewood. In late 2024, Jimmy Kocha joined, filling the role of co-lead guitarist, solidifying the lineup that is currently in full force today. Honoring his legacy, the band pushed forward, releasing the Smoke & Mirrors EP in March 2025—a sharp, socially reflective six-song release. Now the New Jersey hard rock/metal band, are back with their new album, ‘It Takes the Village', out May 8th, 2026. What good's a rock without a roll? It's a question that all head bangers should know the answer too, but if you're unsure, Who on Earth can tell you. It Takes the Village is a high-powered, energetic effort with heart and soul oozing from every aspect of it. They believe in what they do, and do it with aplomb, but they're also not afraid to experiment too. This is what gives many tracks a bit more of a metal edge.

Chicago based metalcore band, VCTMS, return with their brand new EP, Pain Processing II set for release on the 1st of May independently. Often described as metalcore, or Nu Metalcore, VCTMS incorporate splashes of hip-hop, darkwave, industrial, post-hardcore and more into their sound defying genre boundaries. At their core though, no matter how experimental they get, they are angry, delivering devastating metal, hellbent on groovy, chaotic, blistering and depressive noise with lyrical content that ranges from introspection to homicidal. VCTMS deliver quite a mammoth EP here, with 7 tracks and around 24 minutes of music, getting them close to album length in some genres. An EP that feels relentless in both intent and execution, balancing sheer aggression with more than enough creativity to keep things engaging throughout. The guest spots add genuine value, while the band's own versatility gives the record real depth. It can feel overwhelming at times, but that chaos is part of the appeal. Ultimately, Pain Processing II is a heavy, modern release that hits hard, sticks with you, and shows there's more to VCTMS than just unfiltered brutality.

Texas death metal force Frozen Soul are back with their new release, ‘No Place of Warmth', which drops on May 8th, 2026, via Century Media Records. A blunt and bludgeoning release that not only showcases the band's death metal prowess, but it's got some unexpected tricks and curveballs too. Some of those twists come in the form of the guest vocal appearances from Devin Swank (Sanguisugabogg), Rob Flynn (Machine Head) and Gerard Way (My Chemical Romance). In this interview, we spoke with vocalist Chad Green about the album and the journey to its release. We talk about how the record is the defining entry in their catalogue, the guests, playing live, and so much more.

Haze is Silo's debut album and a document of internal collapse, survival and uneasy acceptance. Written collectively in the room rather than assembled in isolation, the record captures moments as they happen, instinct over refinement, emotion over perfection. Across thirteen tracks, the album traces cycles of addiction, disillusionment, therapy, love, loss and identity, never offering easy resolution, only honesty. The album is out on May 1st, 2026, via Easy Life Records. In this interview we talk about the experience Silo has had creating this album and getting to this point. We talk about the detail within, how they have found their identity, how they are powering forward, and enjoying every single moment, as well as much more.

On neverland [CHAPTER II], SINCE 2000 complete the story they began with chapter I, closing the curtain on a coming of age narrative that confronts the darker corners of growth, identity and healing. Out now via Easy Life Records. Darker, heavier, and more intense, this second chapter of neverland is the yang to the first chapter's yin. Not only complimenting the latter's poppier side but evolving it and showing off different sides to the band. This is a SINCE 2000 that everyone can love/ It's an EP that might come shrouded in darkness, but it shows that SINCE 2000's future has never seemed brighter.

Australia has long been a powerhouse for heavy music, but the Melbourne-based outfit ANA is currently carving out a niche that defies traditional categorization. Identifying as a couture symphonic metal band, the group seamlessly merges high-fashion aesthetics with the grandiosity of melodic metal. On May 29th, 2026 (Eclipse Records), they will release their brand-new full-length album ‘Motivated by Death'. An album that features the provocative ‘Hate Me' single. That track, its visually arresting music video, and the response to it, is just one part of our interview with band members, Anna Khristenko (Vocals) and Josh Mak (Guitar). We also talk about the upcoming album, the creative journey the band has been on, and much more.

Cork-based alternative rock trio, The Last Vinci, will release their new album '15 Minutes at a Time' on April 17th via Narrow Door Records. A powerful, deeply personal chronicle of resilience, transformation, and gratitude. At the heart of ‘15 Minutes at a Time' lies a phrase that frontman Alex Vinci never expected would change his life. Two years ago, after being diagnosed with a chronic illness just ten days before what he believed would be his final European tour, Alex's wife offered him simple, grounding advice: Take it 15 minutes at a time. Those words became a mantra, one that reshaped his creative voice, his view of the world, and ultimately, the soul of this new record. Supported by his family and six children, Alex embarked on a path of rediscovery, learning to live, work, and create in small, determined increments. ‘15 Minutes at a Time' captures the entirety of that journey: the before, the during, and the after. The album channels the fear, uncertainty, hope, and resilience that transformed a life-changing diagnosis into a profound source of meaning. In this interview, we dig into the mantra and how Alex has been able to make it intrinsic to his life and how it has inspired this new record. We also talk about the creative journey, the challenges, the joy of playing live, and so much more.

Bristol-based experimental outfit, Sugar Horse, will release ‘Not a Sound in Heaven', the band's 3rd studio album, on 10th April 2026 via Fat Dracula Records. As indefinable as ever, somehow sounding simpler and more complicated than ever in equal measure, this new Sugar Horse album is unlike anything they've ever done before. A punishing, cerebral, and enthralling dive into the world of experimental heavy music, it sees the band pushing the electronic edge of their sound even further, and thematically draws on the increasingly dark-feeling times we're living through. In this interview we spoke to vocalist and guitarist Ashley Tubb about the new album and the direction that Sugar Horse has gone in. We also talk about their constant desire to push boundaries and never do the same thing twice, as well as so much more.

Nervosa are back, settled (thanks to founding guitarist Prika Amaral establishing herself as the vocalist with 2023's Jailbreak), and in a riotous mood. Delivering an album that expertly blends old-school thrashy ferocity with modern death-infused technicality and anthemic focus.

Over half a decade on from the release of their debut album, 'The Smothering Arms of Mercy', Melbourne progressive-death outfit Growth have re-emerged with their sophomore album 'Under The Under', the first new music from the long-awaited second chapter of their planned trilogy aimed at going beyond expressing emotion, illustrating pathways of recovery while acknowledging the most dread-filled aspects of it. This second chapter is planned for release on March 27 via Wild Thing Records. The gap between releases has been deliberate….and necessary. Where 'The Smothering Arms of Mercy' was written from within collapse, sickness and isolation, 'Under the Under' exists in the far more uncomfortable space that follows: what happens when survival is no longer the question and you're forced to confront who you are once the wreckage settles. In the bands own words, healing, is not gentle. It is an ugly process. Chaotic, disorienting and often more confronting than the pain that preceded it. This is what we delve into with lead vocalist LF. Digging into the details of the album, the creative challenges, how it allows them to connect to people on a deeper level, and so much more.

Recorded live in a single studio take, Lower & Slower reimagines six fan favourites from across the band's catalogue in crushing, funeral-paced form.

Blindead 23, formerly known as Blindead, is the new Polish avant-metal juggernaut led by ex-Behemoth guitarist Mateusz "Havoc" Smierzchalski, with a stellar lineup also including Roger Öjersson (ex-Katatonia) and Pawel "Pavulon" Jaroszewicz (Vltimas, ex-Vader, ex-Decapitated). Their much-anticipated debut album, 'Deuterium', will be released on 24th April 2026. Worldwide on Peaceville excluding Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic (Mystic Production). This new incarnation of the band blends an atmosphere of early Blindead recordings - sludge and post-metal, with heavy riffs and mesmerizing electronics - into an evolved and elevated new form, while continuing to honour past material during their visceral live performances. ‘Deuterium' was recorded and produced by David Castillo (Opeth, Carcass, Katatonia, Leprous) at Studio Gröndahl in Stockholm in the spring of 2023, with mixing and mastering duties carried out by longtime friend of the band, Kuba Mańkowski.
