The band "Megadeth" are releasing their first single, "Tipping Point", from what is expected to be their final album. As we recall, about two months ago  Dave Mustaine stunned the metal world by announcing that "Megadeth" intended to call it a day, and that their next studio album would be their last, followed by a worldwide farewell tour.

The official video will not be released until 18:00. Watch here:


The band "Judas Priest" and the dark emperor "Ozzy Osbourne" have released a special charity version of "Black Sabbath"'s iconic hit "War Pigs". The collaboration began at Sharon Osbourne's initiative and became a powerful vocal exchange between Rob and Ozzy. All proceeds from the single are donated to the fight against Parkinson's disease through the Glenn Tipton and Cure Parkinson's charities.

A collaboration uniting metal legends as a tribute to "Black Sabbath" and for an important cause.


The band "Bush" are releasing the official video for "I Beat Loneliness", from their tenth album of the same name, released in July 2025. Produced by Gavin Rossdale and Erik Ron, the album touches on loneliness, vulnerability and the search for human connection. The new video adds a powerful visual dimension to the song and conveys the struggle against loneliness that runs through the album.


True, we are not objective. We are falling in love all over again with this band, who have entered a new era with so much courage...

Their new album simply embodies everything we love about this genre: incredible power, melodies, killer breakdowns and lots and lots of emotion. We would even call it Emo Metal, hahaha.

This week, the band "I Prevail" are releasing a live performance of "Into Hell" from their appearance at Reload Festival, to show you how powerful they are onstage too!!!


The band "Thrice" released the single "Holding On", together with "The Dark Glow", ahead of their new album "Horizons/West", which came out today. More on that below...



The band "Soulfly" are releasing the official video for "Nihilist", featuring Todd Jones of "NAILS".

The song is a single from the new album "Chama", due out on October 24, 2025. Jones's vocals add particularly aggressive power to the song and emphasize the heavy, uncompromising direction of the upcoming album.


Not all of them... but some comebacks do veteran bands justice... This is one of them...

The band "H-Blockx" have released the official video for LIGHTS_OUT. The video came out recently and marks the band's return to activity in recent years.


The band "The Devil Wears Prada" are releasing the official video for "Eyes".

The song is the sixth single from the new album "Flowers", due out on November 14, 2025. The video shows the band members as puppets inside a maze, symbolizing the struggle with feelings of control and uncertainty.


The band "Lamb Of God" return with a new single, "Sepsis".

This is the band's first material since their 2022 album "Omens", and their first single on Century Media Records. Produced by Josh Wilbur, the track pays tribute to the local underground bands from Richmond who inspired them in their early days as "Burn The Priest", including "Breadwinner", "Sliang Laos" and "Ladyfinger".


The band "Melrose Avenue" are releasing their new single, "Inside Your Mind".

The song was co-produced with Matt Malpass, who previously worked with "blink-182", MGK and "Magnolia Park". According to vocalist Vlado Saric, working with Malpass produced one of the band's favorite songs so far, with lyrics written in just a few hours at a Los Angeles studio immediately after a long flight from Australia.


The new documentary "Sharon & Ozzy Osbourne: Coming Home" gets its first official trailer.

The trailer combines the humor and mischief associated with "Ozzy Osbourne" with intimate and moving moments between him and Sharon. The idea began back in 2022 as a series called "Home To Roost", documenting the couple's plans to return from Los Angeles to England. Ozzy's health, however, led to the project becoming a documentary focused on the final years of his life.

A film that promises to show us Ozzy as we have never seen him before, both as a rock legend and as a private person returning home.

The band "Foo Fighters" surprise us with a new live EP, "Are Playing Where??? Vol. 1".

The band seem to be going back in time recently, with surprise shows at small clubs where tickets can only be bought in person at the box office. Now they surprise us with an EP on none other than BandCamp.

The EP includes six songs from intimate shows the band played last month at small venues such as Fremont Theater in San Luis Obispo, The Observatory in Santa Ana, Black Cat in Washington and Toad's Place in New Haven.

The tracklist includes less predictable songs such as "Alone + Easy Target", "Exhausted", "Wattershed", "Weenie Beenie", "White Limo" and "Winnebago". All proceeds from sales will go to local charities in each of the cities where the shows were recorded.

The band "Rage Against the Machine" are releasing the compilation "Live On Tour 1993", a rare release showing the band at the height of their breakthrough. The album includes live recordings from their first tour in 1993, with performances from London, Frankfurt, New York, Los Angeles and more. Every performance appears as it was recorded at the time, with no additional mixing or editing, capturing the band's raw, rough-edged energy at its peak.

Guitar legend Michael Schenker is releasing the album "Don't Sell Your Soul" today with the "Michael Schenker Group".

The album features Schenker and Grönwall alongside Bodo Schopf on drums, Barend Courbois on bass and Steve Mann on guitar and keyboards.

The band "Fight From Within" are releasing their new album, "Talk Is Cheap".

This is the band's first full-length album, including the successful single "Talk Is Cheap", released last January, alongside more new material. The album presents the band's modern, energetic sound, combining aggressive metalcore with catchy melodies and influences from hip-hop and contemporary rock.

The album is the band's biggest step forward yet and marks them as one of the promising, interesting young acts in the British metalcore scene.
