​Ukrainian metal titans JINJER are set to return to headline stages across Europe for the first time in over six years. Kicking off on January 23, 2026, in Cologne, Germany, the tour will span 17 major cities, marking a triumphant new chapter for the band.
 
Armed with their most dynamic and ambitious album to date, Duél, JINJER are ready to unleash their trademark blend of technical precision, crushing heaviness, and emotional intensity on fans across the continent. Following years of global festival appearances and extensive touring, this tour is more than just a series of shows – it’s a full-circle moment that fans have been eagerly awaiting since the band’s last European headline run in 2019.
 
Renowned for their genre-defying sound and electrifying performances, JINJER continues to rise as one of the most dynamic forces in today’s metal landscape. The band spent 2024 on the road with Sepultura as part of the iconic group's farewell world tour, and 2025 has already seen them bring their ferocity to stages across Asia and Australia. This summer, JINJER will storm North America as direct support for Babymetal, with additional high-profile festival appearances set for Download UK, Graspop Metal Meeting, and more.

​New Orleans indie rap titans the $uicideboy$ have officially announced their sixth studio album Thy Kingdom Come will release on August 1st. Pre-save link. For the first time, a $uicideboy$ studio album will feature guest artists on two tracks. As part of the rollout, an exclusive Thy Kingdom Come merch drop will be available for a limited time via the G59 merch store.

Lead single “Self-Inflicted” has already surpassed over 8.5 million total streams across platforms and landed on major Spotify playlists including Alternative Hip-Hop and New Music Friday. The track taps into their early Soundcloud-era sound - dark, raw and relentless - driven by a heavy bassline and rapid-fire verses that are resonating with longtime fans and a new wave of listeners.

The album arrives one week before the $uicideboy$ kick off their sixth annual Grey Day Tour, hitting 44 North America dates across arenas and amphitheaters. The tour boasts a stacked lineup including underground icon BONES, G59 artists Night Lovell, Germ and Chetta along with rising artist Joeyy. Partnering for the second year with mental health nonprofit PLUS1, last year’s Grey Day Tour sold over 600,000 tickets ranking as the #3 highest-grossing rap tour of 2024, according to Billboard. 2025 tour dates below.

Thy Kingdom Come follows the critical and commercial success of 2024’s New World Depression, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and became their fifth straight #1 on the Independent Albums chart. The album also landed four tracks on the Billboard Hot 100.

ALBUM TRACKLIST:
1) COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
2) Napoleon
3) Oh, What a Wretched Man I Am!
4) Full of Grace (I Refuse to Tend My Own Grave)
5) Chain Breaker
6) Now and at the Hour of Our Death

8) GREY+GREY+GREY

I PREVAIL RETURNS WITH VISCERAL TRACK “VIOLENT NATURE”

​Today, Grammy-nominated metal band I Prevail returns with their new single “Violent Nature” out now via Fearless Records. With it, they released a gripping music video that highlights the track’s fast-paced and infectious energy.
STREAM “VIOLENT NATURE” AND WATCH MUSIC VIDEO NOW

​It’s an unrelenting, raw track fueled by the band’s sheer power and dynamic musicianship—standing as one of the heaviest songs they have ever released. Fans can expect heightened intensity from the band as they usher in a powerful new era of music.

Frontman and now sole lead singer Eric Vanlerberghe shared his thoughts on the track below: “Aggressive, fast, and heavy. All packed into 2 minutes and 10 seconds. Turn it up and put your head through the fucking wall.”

I Prevail is no stranger to pushing boundaries. This group has found great success with previous records over the past decade including their first album Lifelines that achieved gold status in both the US and Canada. 2019’s TRAUMA repeated that accomplishment in Canada just a few years later and was nominated for Best Rock Album at that year’s Grammys, with their single “Bow Down” also a contender for Best Metal Performance. 2022’s TRUE POWER saw the band continue to forge their own musical path, refusing to conform to the expectations of the genre, and instead demonstrating just how much of a tour de force I Prevail’s music is.
​

Now the band embarks on a new chapter with the release of “Violent Nature,” a song born from battling their personal demons and the turmoil brewing beneath the surface. They are on a mission to redefine heavy music on their own terms and remind the world why they are one of the most vital forces in modern metal.

Chicago's rising rock band BELMONT have released their brand new single 'In The Sky' today via Pure Noise Records.

Watch the video for 'In The Sky' HERE or by clicking the image below.

​Speaking about the new single the band said, “In the chaos of life it’s easy to fall into a hole of feeling powerless, as you feed yourself to your environment and become its victim. The hard part is admitting you find comfort in the lows while neglecting the pain that comes with growth. Misery enjoys company, don’t let it become your host. Sonically, “In The Sky” strives to push the boundaries of music in a way that can’t be found anywhere else. Blending elements of progressive pop punk, metal, hip hop, ambient EDM, hardcore, and everything under the umbrella of “rock” overall - the goal was to make something that was true to us as a band while keeping things catchy and palatable to the common listener, so that it would be engrained in their memory upon the first listen”

Belmont are gearing up for touring the US with Dance Gavin Dance throughout the summer. A Full list of dates below.

This Friday, 9th May 2025, platinum-selling band Pierce The Veil will release a deluxe version of their hugely successful and chart-topping 2023 album The Jaws of Life. Released in 2023 the LP debuted at #14 on the Billboard Top 200, #2 on the Alternative Chart, and claimed the #1 spot on the Top Hard Rock Albums Chart. The LP’s lead single “Emergency Contact” became the band’s first #1 single at Alternative Radio.  Combined with other standout tracks from The Jaws of Life - “Pass The Nirvana,” “Even When I'm Not with You” and "12 Fractures (feat. Chloe Moriondo)” - the record’s singles have amassed over 140 million streams to date.

The Jaws of Life (Deluxe) will contain two new tracks - the band’s take on Radiohead's “Karma Police” which was released in 2024, and a new single, “Kiss Me Now,” out today. The track reveals a more vulnerable side of Pierce The Veil while retaining the high-energy intensity that has won over their fans. The band’s Vic Fuentes says:​
“ Lyrically, ‘Kiss Me Now’ is a love song to my wife, Danielle, exploring the concept of fear of time passing by too fast. It was inspired by a quote I find true as I move through life. ‘There will never be a perfect time for anything.’ If you spend your life waiting for the perfect moment to do something, it may never come. I tend to overthink things, and this song reminds me to give in more often.” ​

Yungblud Releases New Song "Lovesick Lullaby" with Official Music Video Today

4/25/2025

YUNGBLUD RELEASES ANTHEM TO BRITISH CULTURE ‘LOVESICK LULLABY’ OUT NOW, WITH OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO
Picture
LISTEN | WATCH
‘LOVESICK LULLABY’
Yungblud has released his latest single, the brazen Brit-pop anthem ‘Lovesick Lullaby,’ which comes with an equally bold and brilliant music video and tribute to British culture directed by Charlie Sarsfield. Watch HERE.

In the new music video, Yungblud, clad in quintessential British designers Burberry, Fred Perry and Sir Tom Baker, is seen in the back of a black London taxi-cab before arriving to a packed-out pub. The video is peppered with pop culture references, including a nod to the iconic British 1982 Maxell “Break the Sound Barrier” commercial, with Yungblud posing in an armchair, blasted by the force of the speaker. The track itself is an unapologetic, in-your-face anthem that celebrates the best of British pop and rock.

‘Lovesick Lullaby’ follows the release of his nine minute and six second epic, ‘Hello Heaven, Hello,’ and showcases a completely different side to the British rockstar with this in-your-face anthem with a wholly British sound.

Speaking about the new single, Yungblud said, ‘Making this song was a f*cking party and you can hear that on the recording.” He added, “[I tried to] let my subconscious do a lot of the talking and then make sense of my words the following afternoon in a kitchen, hungover, eating fish and chips with a cup of tea. I've been on a journey trying to find meaning in different places all over the world, for which I am forever grateful, but it felt as though my feet left the ground a little too much and I had to bring myself back… to British music, to British art and culture.”
 
Last month, Yungblud made an appearance on the British late night talk show The Jonathan Ross Show [watch his performance HERE], where he also joined guests on the sofa to discuss the forthcoming album as well as the return of his own-curated festival Bludfest, set for its second year on June 21 in the UK. Speaking about his motivation behind the festival and its affordable price point, Yungblud explained, “It needed to represent a new idea and a new generation. Gigs at the minute are extortionately expensive.”
