DIMMU BORGIR - Announce New Album 'Grand Serpent Rising' + Watch The Video For Single 'Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel'

2026-04-16T13:30:07.985-07:00

Eight years after the release of their critically acclaimed album Eonian, Norwegian symphonic black metal titans DIMMU BORGIR return with a towering new opus: Grand Serpent Rising. Set for release on May 22 via Nuclear Blast Records, the album delivers thirteen punishing yet remarkably diverse tracks that reaffirm the band’s status as one of the most formidable forces in extreme music.

Shagrath comments: “I truly feel we’ve outdone ourselves musically on this album. It’s been a long and demanding process, but seeing how it all came together makes it incredibly rewarding. Grand Serpent Rising reflects every era of Dimmu Borgir - This album carries echoes of every chapter of Dimmu Borgir’s legacy - I believe our fans will recognize that, and find something within it that truly resonates.”

Even the sheer weight of the album title speaks volumes.

"It fits perfectly," guitarist Silenoz explains. “Dimmu Borgir is a leviathan of a band on a grand scale and we are rising once again. While the serpent represents evil to some, for us it symbolizes something else: renewal, growth, knowledge, and liberation. Shedding our skin, so to speak. And let’s not forget that February 2026 marks the end of the Year of the Snake, roughly the same moment this album was completed.”

Grand Serpent Rising was recorded in Gothenburg with acclaimed producer Fredrik Nordström, whose legacy with the band includes landmark releases Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia and Death Cult Armageddon. The collaboration once again captures the band at their most expansive and ferocious, blending orchestral grandeur with unrelenting black metal intensity.

Alongside the album announcement, the band unveils a cinematic video for the track 'Ulvgjeld & Blodsodel'. Sung in Norwegian, the song stands as a punishing epic rooted in themes of heritage and bloodline - the passing of something essential from one generation to the next.

Heavy Metal Legends SANCTUARY Officially Sign to BLKIIBLK Unleash New Track “Not Of The Living”

2026-04-16T13:27:13.937-07:00

Legendary American heavy metal band SANCTUARY is proud to announce their official signing to BLKIIBLK. To celebrate, the band returns with a powerful new chapter in their storied career: the brand-new single “Not Of The Living.” A new lyric video comes along with the track and is available to view below.

On the signing to BLKIIBLK, SANCTUARY founder Lenny Rutledge comments:

"SANCTUARY is really excited to sign with BLKIIBLK. We are looking forward to working with our new team to bring future SANCTUARY music to metal fans all over the world!"

"Not Of The Living" marks SANCTUARY’s first new material since the passing of original vocalist Warrel Dane and stands as a bold statement of rebirth as they celebrate 40 years of uncompromising heavy metal.

Mike Gitter, Global Head of A&R for Frontiers Label Group and BLKIIBLK Label Head, exclaims:

“We’re excited to be working with SANCTUARY. Already a legendary band, in 2026, they’re building upon that legend and taking it one step further. When [European head of A&R] Aldo Lonobile and I heard the songs, they had begun recording for their first full-length since their last full-length ‘The Year The Sun Died’ [2014], it was clear, SANCTUARY were back making some of the most vital music of their career.

"Vocalist Joseph Michael (Witherfall) has stepped in for the late Warrell Dane (Nevermore) and carried the ball magnificently. Lenny Rutledge (SANCTUARY founding guitarist) is not only taking SANCTUARY’s legacy forward, but it already feels like he’s intent on exceeding it."

Produced and mixed by acclaimed producer Zeuss (Queensrÿche, Metal Church, Rob Zombie, and Witherfall), “Not Of The Living” captures SANCTUARY’s classic blend of dramatic songwriting, soaring melodies, and crushing riffs while delivering a modern sonic impact. The track also features a blistering guest guitar solo by Jake Dreyer (Witherfall, Demons & Wizards, Iced Earth).

Joseph Michael, vocalist for SANCTUARY, shares:

“The band and I are very happy to announce our partnership with heavy metal's PREEMINENT record label BLKIIBLK! We hope you enjoy this new chapter in the history of SANCTUARY. We look forward to bringing you new music while also honoring the past.”

DEVILDRIVER Return With 11th Album "Strike and Kill" Out 7/10 + Lead Single "Dig Your Own Grave" Out Now

2026-04-16T13:23:44.515-07:00

After numerous world tours, 10 full-length albums, and globally recognized acclaim, unstoppable groove metal legends DEVILDRIVER remain full speed ahead in their second decade of decimation. Today, the band announces their explosive eleventh full length, Strike and Kill, out July 10 via Napalm Records. With the all-star lineup of frontman and mastermind Dez Fafara, virtuoso guitar duo of Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold, eruptive drummer Davier Ortega Perez, and the return of founding bass legend Jon Miller, Strike and Kill sees DEVILDRIVER return to their carnivorous origin, reigniting the incendiary sound that founded their legacy, a must listen for all fans of the genre.

Dez Fafara on Strike and Kill:

"My headspace hasn't changed; I have not become complacent or soft in my view of the world or in my music. Metal is our outlet as listeners and writers, so on this record we focused on 'getting it all out' lyrically, and backing those lyrics with savage, relentless music that fuels the heavy California groove like no other. DEVILDRIVER has never sounded like any other band, we do our own thing in our own way, and I'm the proudest of that.

"I'm so proud of these musicians, this music, and the vibe around this record. DevilDriver sounds like no one else out there right now, we are here to Strike and Kill!"

Alongside today's announcement, they unleash the fierce album opener upon the masses. Debuting yesterday on SXM's Liquid Metal, "Dig Your Own Grave," is a vitriolic onslaught of machine gun riffs and uncompromising aggression, lyrically lambasting fools responsible for their own undesirable fates. Full of piss and vinegar, this is DEVILDRIVER at maximum ferocity, giving listeners just a taste of the unspeakable carnage waiting within Strike and Kill.

About the track, Fafara states:

"'Dig Your Own Grave' is about how one wrong decision, one wrong move can see your whole world turned upside down, effectively 'digging' your own grave… it's that simple.

"It can also refer to how your decisions can fuck someone else. This is why there's the line 'Six feet ain't deep enough for you,' because only a deep, deep hole is fitting for what you've done or tried to do to others. Be careful when you choose to make decisions at midnight."

Richthammer Releases New Single

2026-04-16T12:56:16.774-07:00

Austrian Death/Black Metal band Richthammer released their new single "Durch Trieb zur Qual". The release was produced, recorded, mixed and mastered by Victor Bullok at "Woodshed Studios" in Germany. Video produced and directed by Jakob Wallner.

Check out the new single linked below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aOKQHeOPTz8

https://open.spotify.com/album/1zseRvSeYMz4PrfMvXBOAe

Richthammer is a Black/Death Metal band formed in 2009 in Waidhofen an der Ybbs, Austria. Rising through energetic live shows and contest success, they released their first demo "Gematert Geschunden Verheert" in 2012. Their 2018 concept album "Ascheland" marked a creative breakthrough, followed by major festival appearances and tours. After lineup changes and a brief hiatus, the band continues evolving, currently working on new material.

YELLOWCARD RELEASE A NEW VERSION OF "BEDROOM POSTERS" FEATURING BLIPPI

2026-04-16T12:53:23.994-07:00

Continuing what has become the most unexpected and awesome collaboration of 2026, multi-platinum pop-punk royalty Yellowcard have joined forces with global children's education sensation Blippi to recharge and revamp their buzzing hit "Bedroom Posters" with a brand new duet version, out now via Better Noise. It's Yellowcard and Blippi's second track together, following "Go Go Go," and third recording of "Bedroom Posters."

This iteration of the track maintains the energy of the original, yet Blippi brings his own magic to the party. He has retrofitted the tune with a fresh and family-friendly perspective, flipping lyrics like "Tear down my bedroom posters" to "Look at my bedroom posters" and soaring with the band on a sky-high chant of "Airplanes and rollercoasters." Together, they also excitedly continue the "Year of Vehicles," extending the celebration of the vehicles kids dig the most — from race cars and monster trucks to excavators and everything in between.

It's the ultimate pop-punk anthem for the kids and mom and dad!

About the track, Yellowcard's Ryan Key said, "My favorite part about this process was handing over an instrumental version of 'Bedroom Posters' to the Blippi team and letting them completely re-write the lyrics. I had the idea that this feature could be perfect because of the concept of posters on kids' walls. I think they nailed it and this is hopefully going to inspire a generation of new little rockers!

Regarding the accompanying video, he states, "It was so fun to make. I think it pushed us all out of our comfort zones a little, and at this stage of our career, that usually leads to an amazing outcome. For me, as a first-time dad of a 2-year-old who is already showing signs of being very musical, I think this is going to be a really special way for him to connect with my music and see me doing what I love. I hope that energy is what other parents find when they are watching and listening to this with their kids."

Blippi said, "Music is one of my favorite ways to play and collaborate, so teaming up with my friends in Yellowcard was a blast! We turned 'Bedroom Posters' into a version that kids and families can sing, dance, and laugh along with. I can't wait for everyone to hear it!"

Hanabie Brings the "Harajuku-core" Headlining Tour with a Sold Out Show in LA!

2026-04-14T13:57:51.700-07:00

Japanese sensation Hanabie out of Tokyo, Japan, have been going strong since their formation 10 years ago roughly. Their styling is a combo of metal sub-genres such as metalcore, hardcore punk, nu-metal and screamo, taken influences from electronica, J-Pop, and a culture that is contemporary centered around the Harajuki which is a spot in Japan that is quite popular within the fashion and dinning lifestyles. In short, they have created a style that is self-described as one thing only "Harajuku-core".

With that said, they band has toured the US. quite a bit as it were, seeing them for the first time back in 2023, with a follow-up time happening in 2025 that was an unfortunate experience. But a year later, and the band would head out on the road for their own headlining springtime tour, bringing with them Nekrogoblikon and Enterprise Earth.

The trek would kick off in March into April, wrapping up April 11, 2026, at The Belasco in Los Angeles, California to a sold-out crowd! But whilst this show was a sold-out experience, due to popular demand, a second show at the same venue would occur that next day April 12th! To a decent crowd from my understanding.

But the last night of the tour, it was quite the experience, the line of fans wrapped around the entire building, and once inside, the line would wrap from inside the actual theater to up the stairs, going up like 3-4 flights, for just the merchandise booth, with fans piled up inside the theater waiting for the actual show to kick off!

After grabbing some merch in that horrible line, the show kicked off about 7PM, with openers Enterprise Earth a deathcore band whose time together has been spent with line-up changes quite a bit, since their formation back in 2014, but do not let that turn you away, the band has gone on to get new members, release more albums, and continue performing as they had done tonight. And the crowd was quite pleased with the results, the pit opening up, with crowd surfers, being constantly overflowing, to others banging their heads, to all others just enjoying a good time. The energy was constant and full force with such a rush it felt memorable yet so much fun.

ENTERPRISE EARTH LIVE PHOTOS:

Following would be Nekrogoblikon a Los Angeles, California staple, as it was their hometown and they were glad to be back home! Being around for twenty years, this melodic death metal band, brought the cuteness or "Kawaii" to the masses, as fans laughed, cheered, and had fun crowd surfing, moshing, and headbanging non-stop. The two co-lead vocalists John Goblikon and Dickie Allen, were quite entertaining, going off on one another vocally, with John being done up in the cutest kawaii attire of a pink skirt and accessories. He made the evening everlasting with his funny banter, and dancing, messing with his fellow band mates, the audience was really into their presence that they did not want the band to go! That is how to keep a crowd into you!

NEKROGOBLIKON LIVE PHOTOS:

Lastly would be Hanabie from Japan, and their performance was quite something else. They performed for a good hour, non-stop with one break right before their encore. But throughout their performance was energetic like no tomorrow, constant movement in the pit, lots of crowd surfing as it were during the opening acts, to non-stop fun! A lot of songs kept everyone on their toes such as "Spicy Queen", "Tokimeki About You, and "Osaki ni Shitsurei Shimasau", besides the other 15 sung to their hearts content. The lead vocalist Yukina was so into her performance; she gave off such energy and phrase it was unforgettable. The rest of her band mates brought the fun as well, with the band having some minor line-up changes due to drums, but the bill now is solid. Hanabie is one of those Japanese bands, you have to check out at least once, to get a feeling of what you’re missing out on! They are just that good.

Overall, this touring cycle ending up on a high note with notably good bands, high energy momentum, and lots of fun, way more than need be.

Upon arriving catching the last snippets of Vowws set, they brought forth a rather gothic blend of 80s crossed with 90s pop goth elements. Their style being unique, sounding yet semi original, making their works catchy. The crowd was into them and cheered them on.

Next up would be metalcore alternative rockers. Escape the Fate, whose time together would be quite promising with their set featuring all new music off an upcoming yet to be released album. Whilst they may have some line-up changes drastically over time, tonight's performance grasped the audience very much. At first glance, everyone observed the band's first assortment of songs, but when "Low" struck the floor, split open, and a wall of death was embraced as everyone aimed for one another having so much fun! After that occurrence, the pit was never the same with constant movement and overflow lots of pushing, shoving, circular motion, and headbanging that felt right during the rest of the set. Which featured such songs as "Just a Memory", "One for the Money", "This War is Ours" and "The Aftermath". Truly Escape The Fate brought it hard and heavy even getting goofy with singing drummer Robert a Happy Birthday with vocalist Craig droning a balloon whilst headbanging! And him jumping into the pit to crowd surf back to the stage! So much fun it was too much!

ESCAPE THE FATE LIVE PHOTOS:

Lastly was Lacuna Coil whose set featured a malfunction towards the end of their encore performance but once those were adjusted the ending felt right. But before that the rest of their set did have some heavy hitters with the crowd jumping in place to others singing along, headbanging to the pit never ending its movement. So much angst pulsing it made their performance fully engulfing from start to finish.

LACUNA COIL LIVE PHOTOS:

Overall, this was a tour that was a success and so much fun happening at all points of the night. Fun was no exception.

Captured By Robots @ Permanent Records 4-5-26

2026-04-13T18:56:10.202-07:00

Captured By Robots the One Man Band with Robotic Assistance!

2026-04-13T18:56:06.666-07:00

Started in the late 1990s out of 97-99 roughly, founder Jason "JBOT" Vance had composed the music which was hard rock early on but later changed to grindcore, hardcore, heavy metal, would take on the corruption, anti-religion, and society of our U.S.A. and flip it on itself, with his one man act run by himself and his drummer and guitarist robots! Yes actual robots programmed to perform LIVE at his shows when time commences, and the time is now!

The "Time's Up Dickbags, It's Fuck Shit Up Time" Springtime tour for 2026, going across the west coast, for this particular tour, in which the band hasn't done a U.S. tour since around 2022. But now, the band has gone on tour, making the rounds across California for now, stopping in Los Angeles County, at a record shop in Cypress Park called Permanent Records. An actual record store with a store in the front mixed in with a bar, and a backyard with a mini store in the back, with a mini porch of more vinyls for sale, mostly vinyls up for sale at this store front.

But regardless, the band Captured By Robots had a rough start not playing until roughly around 8:15PMish as opposed to 8PM, but once they started things didn't let up until 9PM, where the band ended it all. During their performance though, they kept the momentum going, the frontman Jason giving a lot of backtalk and interaction with the crowd, going his spill of discussion about the U.S. and how its run, government, religion, all that stuff, getting everyone's opinion. At times he even jumped off the stage, into the crowd, this spot being quite small, so the crowd didn't mind pushing him around.

The two other members being the robots, were quite the attraction, they talked digitally of course but still had some laughs. The technical aspect with them being able to move to create the music was entertaining and rather interesting. They kept to the beat and made the music sound heavy yet intense through and through. For that time span it felt longer than needed, but so very fun to witness if not seen beforehand.

LIVE PHOTOS:

Captured By Robots is a fun band, creative, and highly entertaining to catch at least once in person. Online media is good but seeing these characters come to life on stage is so much fun.
