What Lies Below have released a new song titled “Monolith.” That track will appear on their new album “I Let It Consume Me,” which will be available on July 10. Vocalist Andrew Watson commented:

“‘Monolith’ is the second song in the overall story of I Let it Consume Me. This song uncovers personal grief and the ‘person’ finding themselves in front of their own darkness. The person begins to look inwards and discover a lot of what brought them there is their own actions and this is the first step to overcoming and growing from them.”

Gideon have released a new EP titled “4×4.” The effort includes five songs:

01. “Wrong One”
02. “4×4”
03. “‘Til The Wheels Fall Off”
04. “YEEHAW”
05. “Find It As I Go”

The band said the following:

“We’re happy to finally present to you all, the ‘4×4’ EP in its entirety! Shout out to Randy Lebouef and Ryan Leitru for helping us bring the vision to life, and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it!”

Fit For A King have shared a new track called “Blood Pact.” Vocalist Ryan Kirby said the following about that:

“‘Blood Pact’ is a song that, unfortunately, has become more relevant as time goes on. It’s about how the decisions of people in power affect the rest of us. And how as a human race, we face the reality of destruction, even when it’s not the majority making the decision.”

Movements have shared a lyric video for their new song “Everything Is Fine.” That track will appear on their new album, “Happier Now,” which will be available on September 4. Singer Patrick Miranda said the following about the single:

“”Everything Is Fine’ is one of those songs that took a while to get right. It went through multiple different versions before we landed on this one, and it ended up being one of my favorite choruses on the record. It’s a song about anxiety, and I think fans of the earlier Movements subject matter will really enjoy this one.”

Allegaeon have shared an official video for their song “Dark Matter Dynamics.” That track features Adrian Bellue and it appears on the group's latest album “The Ossuary Lens.” Guitarist Greg Burgess said the following:

“‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ is a very special song for me. Having the opportunity to explore my love for steel string acoustic music, and bringing it into the fold with Allegaeon, will forever be a source of pride. Not only that but exploring this marriage of two styles with an acoustic heavy weight Adrian Bellue was equally special.”

Vocalist Ezra Haynes added:

“‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ is here and I am pumped! Over recent years, we’ve grown close with our good buddy, Adrian Bellue, and I’m thankful Greg introduced us! He rips on the guitar and he’s an even better friend. We’re especially excited to play ‘Dark Matter Dynamics’ Saturday night at Flatline Fest in Denver with Adrian himself!

The chorus gets me hyped! I think it’s the most jump-worthy Allegaeon riff ever written! This song has that classic, science-based Allegaeon vibe and theme, and it sonically showcases the album’s range, letting the track breathe with a soulful, atmospheric instrumental piece that contrasts perfectly with the heavy riffs surrounding it. Please enjoy ‘Dark Matter Dynamics.’”

Polyphia have shared an official video for their new single “CAN YOU FEEL IT.” You can check out that clip below:

Hatebreed have just inked a new deal with BLKIIBLK. The label will handle the release of the group's upcoming album.

Vocalist Jamey Jasta said the following:

“BLKIIBLK put together a dream team to get behind the new Hatebreed record and we couldn’t be happier — new label, new horizons, crushing new songs. We are beyond grateful and can’t wait to unleash these tracks on the world!

One of my favorite things about making this record was working with our brother-in-arms, Zeuss, once again. His connection with Matt, Wayne, Frank, Carl, and me goes far beyond the producer’s chair, I’ve known him since the Pushbutton Warfare and Jasta 14 days, he’s been like a sixth member of this band for years. When you’re chasing something timeless, memorable, and meaningful, having that level of trust and understanding makes all the difference. We would high five, scream, pace, and celebrate every time we elevated the song or hit on something killer. From ‘I Will Be Heard’ to ‘Destroy Everything,’ ‘Looking Down The Barrel’ to now, ‘Decisions Become Destinies!’ We got another one Zeussky!”

Drummer Matt Byrne continued:

“2026 is the year of Hatebreed. This juggernaut as we know it is picking up the pace rapidly and is taking no prisoners. As if 2025 wasn’t enough of a truly busy and successful year, this summer sees multiple European festivals/headline tours for the band, two separate U.S. legs of the Summer Slaughter tour, and a powerhouse of a new record dropping this fall on an awesome new label BLKIIBLK!!! We can’t wait to see everyone on the road!”

Frontiers Records Global Head of A&R/BLKIIBLK Label Head Mike Gitter added:

“BLKIIBLK Records is proud to announce the signing of Hatebreed. Not only are they a name carved into the heavy music landscape, but they are as vital and relevant a force as ever. Perhaps even more so. We are excited to work with Jamey, who continues to bring new energy to everything he touches. Jasta and Hatebreed aren’t merely about perseverance — they’re about bringing the sound of the extreme to a new level. We’re honored to be working together.”

Texas Is The Reason have announced a 30th anniversary edition of “Do You Know Who You Are?.” This “TX30 Special Edition” of the album will be available on August 21.

The anniversary package is housed in a gatefold jacket and includes color vinyl, a TX30-exclusive obi strip, and an 8-page booklet featuring expanded artwork, never-before-seen photographs, rare flyers, and additional archival material that helps tell the story of the band and the album’s enduring legacy.”

Butler said the following:

“‘Witch Of Hell‘ is a straight up banger. No frills old school death metal at its finest. This is how it’s done and it would be a blueprint for future death/thrash bands!”

“What this album has meant to us, and so many others, over the past 20 years is hard to quantify. It gave us permission to be ourselves. It sent us around the world. It gave people the freedom to say (and scream) the things out loud they had buried deep. It will outlive us. We still play these songs on stage 20 years later and get those chills. The opportunity to devote an entire tour to presenting this album in the best way it ever has been, alongside friends we’ve had since before it was released, is going to be bucket list material for us.”

Gray commented:

“The initial five ’30 Years Of Madnesss’ shows were absolutely incredible! The band, the fans, the venues and all involved completely blew me away.

Since the beginning, I’ve wanted to bring this to all my fans everywhere. From here in America and everywhere abroad. And now I have the opportunity, so I’m gonna take it. This fall, I’m hopefully going to come to a town near you and we are gonna walk in a room, let go of life and its problems and have some fucking fun! That has been my mission statement and mantra from the beginning of this. Let’s just have fun! So I’m hoping with everything in me if there’s a stop near you I will see YOU! My favorite people in the world. My FAMILY!

Heavy metal saved my life and each and every one of you have done the same for me. We save each other because we lean on each other when things are as bad in life as they can be. You all have always been there for me and I want to be there for you. So let’s get together this fall and once again…HAVE SOME FUCKING FUN! Hope to see you at a show near you sooner than later.

So until then please stay safe, happy, healthy and METAL AS FUCK!”

Make Do And Mend have signed with New Morality Zine. The label will handle the release of the band’s upcoming album “On Going.”

Vocalist/guitarist James Carroll commented:

“As a band, we’ve gotten to realize many kinds of mind-blowing full-circle moments, whether it be meeting and touring with heroes, or playing legendary venues around the world, but to me, the coolest full-circle moment has been realized while planning to release ‘On Going’ with New Morality Zine. Nick, who runs NMZ, was an early champion of MDAM. In fact, he was the one who introduced us to Timm McIntosh, who released our E.P. ‘Bodies of Water’ on his label Panic Records, which was really our springboard towards much of our later success as a band. I think it’s safe to say that the Make Do and Mend that folks have gotten to know over the years wouldn’t exist without Nick. So in that way, I think there was no better choice when it came time to team up with a label for ‘On Going.’

I think that I speak for all of us when I say I have so many strong emotions about this upcoming tour. Excited, Nervous, Grateful. To be able to re-explore playing live with my best friends while supporting a group of musicians who were early champions for our band is a really nuanced and special experience. IATA served as major role models for how our band would not only sound but also behave as forthright stewards of the genre and the culture. They are truly the best of the best. We are so excited to get to play in front of new folks as well as old friends, and we will be absolutely giving it our all.”

New Morality Zine owner Nick Acosta added:

“I’m incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work with Make Do and Mend on this next chapter of the band and the release of ‘On Going.’

Make Do and Mend was essentially the first band I ever did A&R for. Around 2008, I discovered their music through the Hostage Calm MySpace page and immediately told my best friend, whose label I was helping out with at the time. A few short months later, the band and the label were working together to release ‘Bodies of Water,’ and I found myself taking the train from New York City to Boston to meet the band before heading to Connecticut for their record release show.

Since then, our friendship has continued to grow and evolve alongside the band itself. Make Do and Mend has been one of my favorite bands from that very first day, and their music has remained a constant companion through every part of life. Whether I was celebrating something meaningful, grieving a loss, or simply reflecting on where I’ve been, their songs always seemed to meet me exactly where I was.

What has made that connection endure isn’t just the music, it’s the people. I’ve never met a more genuine group of people, and it’s an honor to play even a small role in helping bring this release into the world.”

Mike D (Beastie Boys) has premiered a new song titled "True Colors.” This track is from his new album, “Thank You,'“ which will be released on August 28. Mike D commented:

“It’s been so much fun making this music with people I love and I have grown to really appreciate in our collaboration. And I just hope it’s fun for others and not overly serious, because let’s be real, I’m releasing this music into a very strange and dark and power-fixated world that really devalues art and feelings and compassion and empathy and equality.”
