HELLOWEEN SHARE NEW SINGLE "THIS IS TOKYO"
German power metal legends, Helloween, are gearing up to release their new album, Giants & Monsters,
due for release on August 29.
Leading the charge is the album’s first single, “This Is Tokyo”, accompanied by a visual homage to Japan.
The powerful, four-minute anthem features vocalists Andi Deris and Michael Kiske and delivers a chorus designed
for stadium sing-alongs.
The song holds personal significance for Deris:
“I’ve always wanted to write this song. Japan plays a special role in my life because I had my first big successes there.
I wanted to create a tribute to Japan for a while now and finally found the right lyrics. Because ‘Tokyo’ sounds better than ‘Japan’, the city stands for a whole country that is very important to me.”
BATTLE BEAST RELEASE NEW ALBUM + SINGLE "STEELBOUND"
Battle Beast, storms forward with unrelenting force, dropping their electrifying new single, “Steelbound”, which also lends its name to their seventh studio album, set for release in October.
“‘Steelbound’ is a song that is both heavy and light at the same time. It goes through the walls with a bang, both in terms of composition and lyrics, without forgetting the groove and the little twinkle in the eye,” says Janne Björkroth, the band’s keyboardist, producer, and composer of the track.
Noora Louhimo adds: “As a child, I was bullied at school, and as an adult, I’ve experienced misogyny and sexism in my professional and private life. Through all these experiences, I’ve become a person who always fights against injustice. ‘Steelbound’ is a power song for all of us trying to navigate difficult life situations and relationships.
The song deals with painful things, but at the same time, it gives us strength to keep fighting against the world’s injustices. Let’s rise together, because we are ‘Steelbound!'”
DRAGONFORCE UNLEASH ALT VERSION FOR BURNING HEART
+ ALISSA WHITE-GLUZ
Power metal legends, DragonForce, unleash a new official music video for an alternate version of their recent
album track, “Burning Heart”, featuring Alissa White-Gluz. Originally released as a bonus track on select editions
of their 2024 album Warp Speed Warriors, the special version supported by White-Gluz’s distinctive vocals.
Alissa White-Gluz on the collaboration: “As a long time DragonForce fan, it was such a fun experience to sing
‘Burning Heart’! This band knows no speed limits – even as a vocalist I found myself tripping over consonants trying
to keep up. It was a refreshing challenge! I’m happy to be a part of such a cool song and video!”
DragonForce guitarist Herman Li adds: “Alissa has been one of my favorite metal vocalists for a long time. I’m thrilled that the stars aligned, allowing us to collaborate on this track. I believe ‘Burning Heart’ is the perfect song for Alissa
to showcase her remarkable vocal range and her stunning performance has elevated the song to another level.”
SABATON UNLEASH NEW SINGLE "HORDES OS KHAN"
Vocalist Joakim Brodén comments: “The song turned out to have way more depth than we expected.
Genghis Khan wasn’t just a conqueror; he was a complex figure who left behind a huge legacy.
We couldn’t have picked a more suitable subject for the new direction Sabaton is heading in! ‘Hordes of Khan’ hits hard.
We know our fans crave heavy music, and we’re pumped to see how they react to this one.”
AMORPHIS REVEAL NEW SINGLE + NEW ALBUM "BORDERLAND"
Following the announcement of their 15th studio album Borderland, Finnish metal icons, Amorphis, release the first single from their forthcoming opus. “Light And Shadow”, which can also be interpreted as a metaphor of the album title in the sense of counter-play between two parties close to each other, wins over listeners right away with an uplifting piano intro, enriched by an electronic sound tapestry. As the song unfolds, it transforms into a driving, mythic anthem of self-discovery, a powerful reminder of why Amorphis remain unrivalled in crafting melancholic majesty.
Santeri Kallio, who wrote the music, adds: “I threw my brain into the closet and went with the flow – without stressing about opinions. I didn’t want to repeat the old nor copy what we’ve already done before. When I heard Tomi’s final vocal parts, I realised that ‘Light And Shadow’ would be the perfect introduction to our new album!”

AVATAR SHARE NEW SONG "CAPTAIN GOAT"
“I think it will be very clear to people hearing ‘Captain Goat.’ that the rules once again have changed,”
states vocalist Eckerström. “It will always be metal. It will always be Avatar. We will never do the same song twice
and we will always find ways to reinvent ourselves. It’s the only way we know how to do this, and the only way to give ourselves a shot at being the best we have ever been. ‘Captain Goat’ uses the motif of Satan and the spirit’s
journey through the underworld as a meditation. It is a negotiation with the harsh state of being and finding
acceptance as you navigate the ruthless darkness of life.”
HALESTORM PREMIERE NEW SINGLE VIDEO "EVEREST"
Lzzy and Arejay Hale with guitarist Joe Hottinger and bassist Josh Smith, have released the official video for “Everest”, the title track of their sixth studio album, out August 8.
“Our album Everest is a story of our journey as a band, full of beautiful endings and new beginnings,” says Lzzy Hale. “We weave a tangled web of melancholy, frustration, anger, and the vast purgatory of love and love lost.
It is a rollercoaster of epic musical detours, great songwriting and completely unhinged twists and turns.
Everest is an auditory representation of the 4 pillars of Halestorm.
Let us reintroduce ourselves and invite you into our world…if you dare.”
PULP RELEASE NEW SINGLE "GOT TO HAVE LOVE"
“‘Love’ is a word I was unable to say until I was approaching 40”, explains Jarvis Cocker,
“I listened to love songs all the time but couldn’t use the word in real life. The words to this song are me having a word with myself about this state of affairs. I gave myself a real talking-to.
I have now learnt how to say it whilst keeping a straight face. ‘You’ve got to have love’. Oh yes you have.”
The song offers a second taste of the new record – the band’s first in almost 24 years, released on 6 June – following their acclaimed return with Spike Island in April.
“It’s a slightly hysterical song that tries to talk about love as I see it now,” Jarvis Cocker reveals of the track, which seems destined for immediate live anthem status when the band kick off their UK & Ireland Arena tour in June
including a full North American tour – later this year.
FALLING IN REVERSE & MARILYN MANSON IN NEW SONG
Falling In Reverse have released their new collaborative track with Marilyn Manson, “God Is A Weapon“.
