EVERGREY TO RELEASE THEORIES OF EMPTINESS ALBUM;
"FALLING FROM THE SUN" SINGLE AND VIDEO OUT NOW
Evergrey on “Falling From The Sun”: “‘Falling From The Sun’ is an explosive song that represents everything we are about, not only for this album, but also brings the energy that you would expect from a great new Evergrey song.
It has the riff, it has the pounding drums, the bombast, and an unforgettable hook that we are very proud to have written. Now we just want you to be devoured by the splendor of the full album as soon as possible, but let’s start with
‘Falling From The Sun’; we believe it will last you a lifetime and easily hold you over until it is time for the next single and video. We spent what feels like a Hollywood budget on the pyrotechnics used in this video as we felt that represented everything we felt the most - having those fireworks rain down on us made us feel like real rockstars for a while and the song itself feels like a rockstar on its own! We can’t wait to see what you think and feel when you see this!”
KITTIE SHARES NEW SINGLE "WE ARE SHADOWS"
"We Are Shadows" speaks to the fading certainty in a world shrouded by looming challenges and increasing division.
It is both a reflection and a reckoning — a compelling narrative crafted with the band's signature intensity
and a profound lyrical depth.
KITTIE guitarist/vocalist Morgan Lander said: "'We Are Shadows' is about the uncertainty of a future that we can no longer control. We have come to a critical place in life and in our world, and much like an eclipse overtaking the sun, we are losing the light. The image of shadows slowly fading in the evening darkness, and the analogy of 'us' as shadows in the night really illustrates the possibility of slowly fading into oblivion. It is not a song of hope however, it's a song of coming to terms with the damage we do and acceptance of our fate. We've let darkness take hold,
and so we are resolved to fade in the night with it."

This song truly captures our spirit and we hope to spark inspiration in others to never give up on their extraordinary paths!
So let’s 'Aim for the Kill' together, united by the unwavering strength!"

KINGS OF LEON RELEASE NEW SINGLE "SPLIT SCREEN"
Can We Please Have Fun, the new album from Kings Of Leon, is dropping in May. Lead single “Mustang” percolated with an ’80s rock energy, seasoned with twang and topped off with Caleb Followil’s yowling exclamations. “Split Screen,” the new single, is much tamer and moodier. A soft but incessant pulse leads KOL through an emotionally charged chord progression, resulting in a power ballad that definitely could have soundtracked a pivotal moment on an episode of Grey’s Anatomy (and maybe still could, given that, much like Kings Of Leon, the show is still going).

Following the start of the European tour, Soen have released the strikingly visual video for ‘Incendiary’, a driving and furious anthem with a message of hope to rise against the horrors of war and the tyrannous leaders behind them.
Lopez comments, “Incendiary is a song about the true power of unification…even if there is a few in charge ‘we’, as the people, have the power to radically change things.”
“It’s a heavy and melodic song that has both the more raw classic metal vibe as well as some proggy passages”.
Adds singer and co-founder member Joel Ekelöf:
“I would say that it has a lot of emotion and anger but also beauty and serenity.”
P.O.D. DEBUT "LIES WE TELL OURSELVES" MUSIC VIDEO
Sandoval states, "Everybody lies to themselves! Just don’t believe it."
"As hate is to love, death is to life, lies is to Veritas (truth). This song resonates the struggle and hope which keeps us from truly believing that the 'lies within ourselves' become a reality. Our struggle. Our truth," says Curiel.
The word Veritas – which translates to "Truth" in Latin – defined the emotional core of the album, and the album art further encapsulates that message: the Veritas album cover, which pictures a child with its eyes blacked out, signifies “a culmination of innocence and dark hidden truths.”
