The band "Interia" had an eventful week...
The band's singer got married, they opened for "Walkways" at Gagarin, and they released two new singles from their next album, which is currently being mixed. The singles are "Hana-BI" and "Euphoria".
The band "Bad Omens" releases a new single, "Impose", with an official video directed by Noah Sebastian and Nico.
The song is another standalone single for 2025, rather than part of a new album, continuing the band's dark, industrial direction since 2022's "The Death of Peace of Mind". The dramatic sound and lyrics explore confusion and a loss of control after an unexpected encounter at a club, while the video adds powerful, distorted imagery.
The band "Five Finger Death Punch" launches the campaign for its new compilation, "Best Of - Vol. 2", with a special collaboration: a new version of "The End" featuring "Babymetal".
The song originally closed the band's 2022 album "AfterLife" in powerful fashion. It was recorded as part of the band's project to re-record some of its biggest anthems after its former record label sold the masters without the band's knowledge.
The band "Nine Inch Nails" releases a video this week for "As Alive As You Need Me To Be", the single released in July.
It is the lead single from the soundtrack to the new film "Tron: Ares", which Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross are working on.
The band "Eville" has released a new single, "No Pictures Please", ahead of its debut EP "BRAT METAL", due October 17. It follows August's "BR4T MBL" (pronounced "bratmobile"), offering another taste of the band's new, concept-driven sound.
The band "Dropkick Murphys" releases an official video for "Chesterfields and Aftershave" from "For The People", an album also released in July.
The song is dedicated to singer Ken Casey's late grandfather, who adopted him after his father died. Directed by Jon Vulpine, the video shows scenes from Casey's childhood with his grandfather alongside historic footage of Boston sports teams.
The band "Mammoth" has released an official video for "I Really Wanna", the third single from its upcoming album "The End", due October 24, 2025. The video was filmed at the famous 5150 studio, built and used for recording by Wolfgang's father, Eddie Van Halen.
"The End" will feature ten tracks, and "Mammoth" continues Wolfgang's practice of playing every instrument and singing all the vocals himself.
This week's MTV VMAs featured a special tribute to the Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne. "YUNGBLUD" took the stage with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of "Aerosmith" and Nuno Bettencourt of "Extreme" for a medley of the Prince of Darkness's biggest songs.
The performance lasted around seven minutes and included "Crazy Train", "Changes" and "Mama, I'm Coming Home".
Tyler's appearance caused real excitement after "Aerosmith" retired from live performances last August following a vocal injury he suffered in 2023. He certainly proved he still has plenty to give!
Musician "Olivia Rodrigo" created a particularly moving moment at Glastonbury 2025 when she invited Robert Smith, the legendary singer of "The Cure", onstage. Together they performed the classic "Friday I'm in Love" for tens of thousands of fans, bringing together two musical generations: the gothic-alternative scene of the 1980s and the contemporary pop-rock of the past decade.
Streaming service "Hulu" has released the first trailer for its new metal documentary series "Into the Void", premiering September 22. The eight-part series explores metal history through major events and bands that left their mark on the genre. Each episode combines rare archival footage with recent interviews with musicians and key industry figures, offering a broad look at metal's journey from its early days to the present.
The band "Green Day" has revealed the first teaser for its new film, "New Years Rev - A Green Day Story".
Described as a coming-of-age comedy, the film tells the story of three young punks willing to risk everything to make their musical dream come true.
The band said: "It's a wild road movie about a young garage band that thinks it has landed the gig of a lifetime... opening for us. But it turns out to be a prank."
The film was created by "Green Day" with director Lee Kirk. Based on a story initiated by the band, it involves them in both the production and the concept.
The band "Between The Buried And Me" released a new album this week, "The Blue Nowhere". It is their 11th album and their first release with InsideOut.
The ten-track album combines extreme progressive styles with the aggressive elements typical of the band. Its central theme is a place imagined as a hotel called "The Blue Nowhere": not necessarily a physical place, but a sense of loneliness, detachment from reality, and using time alone to understand yourself better.

The band "Lorna Shore" released a new album this week, "I Feel the Everblack Festering Within Me". It is their fifth album and their second with singer Will Ramos. The album continues the band's blend of aggressive symphonic deathcore, dramatic passages and personal themes, placing "Lorna Shore" among the scene's leading bands.
