ARCH ENEMY's ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ IN KAT VON D's 'I AM A MACHINE' 

Kat Von D has released a new music video for "I Am A Machine", which features ARCH ENEMY vocalist

Alissa White-Gluz, and is included on Kat Von D's just-released album "My Side Of The Mountain".

The music video was directed by Vincente Cordero (JINJER, CRADLE OF FILTH, SUICIDE SILENCE).

Kat Von D says: "I've been such a huge fan of ARCH ENEMY for so long, it's been a dream come true getting to create music with Alissa. I was actually nervous about even asking her to sing on one of my songs, considering I make more dark, electronic music and not metal, but was so happy/relieved when she agreed to be a part of this album. She's one of the most talented friends I have. Getting to record her massive vocal range in person was beyond inspiring."

TIMO TOLKKI FORMER STRATOVARIUS GUITARIST RELEASES "FAUST" 

Iconic guitarist and composer, Timo Tolkki, has announced the release of his latest single, “Faust”,

inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe’s classic work. The track features Jeff Scott Soto (vocals),

Jari Kainulainen (bass), and Peter Dellermann (drums).

The song delves into the eternal dilemma of Faust, a man who sells his soul to the Devil in exchange for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures. The video was directed by Anderson Bellini, the director behind the documentary Andre Matos – Maestro do Rock. 

“Musically, I tried to create something a bit more modern, with a lot of detail in the track, especially when listened to with headphones,” Tolkki explains. “I think it features some of the best guitar work I’ve been able to record in years.

I felt deeply inspired while composing and recording Classical Variations and Themes 2: Ultima Thule.

Nearly the entire album was composed in a place 40 km outside Helsinki, Finland’s capital, where I spent about a month and a half in a cabin in the middle of a beautiful nature.”

LACUNA COIL TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM IN FEBRUARY + NEW SINGLE OUT!

Italian metal titans, Lacuna Coil, announce their 10th studio album Sleepless Empire - their first collection of new songs since 2019's Black Anima - with their new single "Oxygen".

Cristina Scabbia commented on the track and her experience filming the video: "'Oxygen' is a powerful exploration of emotional struggle and inner conflict. The lyrics convey a sense of drowning in a toxic environment, both literally (in the video) and metaphorically, where attempts at salvation, represented by 'oxygen' are somehow futile. This song encapsulates the feeling of struggling to break free from what holds us down, when the journey is filled with difficulty. It's a raw anthem of vulnerability, resilience, and the courage to face what seems insurmountable. Having to stay in the water for so many hours during the video shoot was cathartic for me, the realisation that the pleasant sensation of floating could in an instant become dangerous and deadly if I wasn't careful was very fitting with the song's theme."

SERJ TANKIAN RELEASES MUSIC VIDEO FOR "CARTOON BUYER" 

Singer, poet, songwriter, visual artist, film producer, activist and author Serj Tankian, lead singer and lyricist

of SYSTEM OF A DOWN, has just released "Foundations", his EP of new music. Serj has also debuted the new video for the song "Cartoon Buyer" which begins with hushed, folk tones of Serj playing acoustic guitar, gradually building in intensity before exploding in sonic and spiritual catharsis.

"Foundations" mines music and lyrics from previous decades and reframes them in a hard-hitting, intensely focused collection. Like all of Tankian's work, the five songs that comprise "Foundations" encompass a wide range of sounds and styles. It is music that traverses multiple eras and vast swaths of emotions. It is also very much a rock album — "music of rebellion," says Tankian.

THE CURE - FIRST ALBUM IN 16 YEARS + NEW SONG "ALONE"

The Cure have shared new song “Alone,” and, with it, confirmation that their first album in 16 years,

Songs of a Lost World, will arrive on November 1. Robert Smith produced the long-teased album with Paul Corkett

at Rockfield Studios in Wales.

“Alone,” said Robert Smith in a press release, is “the track that unlocked the record; as soon as we had that piece of music recorded I knew it was the opening song, and I felt the whole album come into focus. I had been struggling to find the right opening line for the right opening song for a while, working with the simple idea of ‘being alone’, always in the back of my mind this nagging feeling that I already knew what the opening line should be… as soon as we finished recording I remembered the poem ‘Dregs’ by the English poet Ernest Dowson…

and that was the moment when I knew the song—and the album—were real.”
