When German four-piece BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE began to find their bearings on where to go next from the success of their previous full-length, ""Aion"" (2023), the core idea for the fourth album, ""In Between Strides"", was to take a more melodic approach. All else, they would leave to the creative process and somewhat to chance. BEES MADE HONEY recorded every other song on ""In Between Strides"" in various settings that were available to them at the time of creation: a cavernous cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, their rehearsal space, even returning to the studio where their first album ""Medicine"" was tracked. Through this spontaneous and shifting approach, BEES MADE HONEY began to move texturally and stylistically from ambient and drone toward shoegaze along with more acoustic elements. According to their original plan, ""In Between Strides"" stepped into more melodic territory, with each song representing a different aspect of the band's musical vocabulary. BEES MADE HONEY IN THE VEIN TREE originate from the Swabian capital and German city of Stuttgart. All four members grew up together, eventually forming the band in 2014. Their musical template of ambient psychedelic doom was established with the debut album ""Medicine"" in 2017, and their sound has continued to evolve ever since. With ""In Between Strides"", BEES MADE HONEY have turned rage into reflection by developing a more organic and spontaneous approach to their songs, opening up wide spaces and letting the melodies flow freely. This musical honey tastes simply delicious. Tracklist: 1. Departure 2. Respite 3. Clutching at Straws 4. Elisa 5. Return, Precipice UPC: 884388898684Label: Magnetic EyeRelease Date: 9.18.26Format: CD

It is an autonomous body of work that bridges the band's foundational past with their present creative fire. The release features brand-new studio material embodying the full force of Behemoth's live energy and intensity. Two tracks - Rise of the Blackstorm of Evil (from The Return of the Northern Moon. 1992) and In Thy Pandemaeternum (from Pandemonic Incantations, 1998) - are newly re-recorded versions of early Behemoth material, reshaped with modern sonics while preserving their original spirit; a tribute to the bands who had a huge influence on Behemoth: "In League With Satan" (originally by Venom, feat. Shagrath of Dimmu Borgir) and "The Return of Darkness and Evil" (originally by Bathory, feat. Sakis Tolis of Rotting Christ).

Swedes are supposed to be cool, and musically, BESVA"RJELSEN sure live up to that stereotype in the best possible way. What the self-proclaimed forest rockers deliver on their third full-length "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" is so cool, in fact, that it's a hot early candidate for rock album of the year. The 'forest rock' moniker is the Swedes' tongue-in-cheek answer to the term 'desert rock', which stylistically provides a great starting point to describe their musical brand. Add exceptional vocalist Lea Amling Alazam, who developed her passion for punk and stoner rock at the local skate park when she was just 13 years old, to the band's plethora of riveting hooks and riffs, and you get an album that feels fresh and ready to deliver surprises for months if not years to come. If there is any justice, "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem" should make BESVA"RJELSEN as famous as the iconic wooden Dala horses that every tourist who visits the country takes home to put on their shelves. BESVA"RJELSEN were co-founded by guitarists and vocalists Andreas Bajer and Staffan Vinrot in 2014. Their musical vision was based on the idea to channel the spirit and traditions of the vast Dalarna forests, where Germanic gods and the spirit world of finno-ugric shamans met, into a contemporary urban context. With "Till Glömskan Ad Oblivionem", BESVA"RJELSEN have conjured 'Into Oblivion' twice, in both Swedish and Latin, but the spellbinding five-piece also deliver a cathartic rock album that will rank among the finest heavy releases of the genre and beyond in 2026.

Black Veil Brides' seventh album, VINDICATE, ushers in their most visceral, creative, thrilling, and uncompromising era yet, as the band continues to defy expectations and misconceptions held by casual onlookers. It's a living will and testament to the band's storied past, triumphant present, and unwritten future. It harnesses the blend of grandeur and intimacy at the heart of the band's melodic and metallic sound; conjuring enduring archetypes, interwoven with themes of revolt, vengeance, and shades of John Milton's epic 1677 poem, Paradise Lost. Each of the album's songs explores a distinct expression of revenge, some as narrative portraits and others as internal confrontations. VINDICATE is the first new Black Veil Brides full-length produced by Pitts and Biersack, who exercised complete creative control while synthesizing the best of what they've learned from A-list producers. The album was mixed by Zakk Cervini (Bring Me The Horizon, Evanescence, Bad Omens). Forever champions of the isolated and the dismissed, Black Veil Brides are an object of devotion and obsession for those who sing their anthems in unison - a diverse BVB Army that never surrenders.

This celebrates a triumphant return for a band rooted in the gritty heart of the '80s underground metal scene.Formed in 1987, Blacklyst emerged during a fertile era for heavy metal. They burst onto Chicago's vibrant scene, which was already full of established metal bands but also saw a significant number of new projects on the rise.

Forged in the fire of 1987, Blacklyst detonated onto Chicago's blistering metal underground - a scene already stacked with legends yet starving for the next unstoppable force. Their sound? A merciless onslaught of classic heavy metal fused with the razor-sharp aggression of American power metal: galloping riffs that crush skulls, vocals that command obedience, and rhythms that thunder like the genre's golden gods reborn. Lyrics dripping with betrayal, revenge, social gut-punches, and the unbreakable triumph of metal itself - Blacklyst speaks straight to the diehards, no matter the era.Now, Lost Realm Records proudly resurrects the beast with Living On The Edge - The Demos: the first-ever official collection of Blacklyst's savage demos, spanning 1990 to 2004. This isn't polished nostalgia... It's a time capsule of pure underground fury that comprises: 1990 studio assaults from the band's chaotic, lineup-shifting dawn; mid-90s demos produced by Eric Wagner (from the legendary band TROUBLE), recorded during a dark period for traditional heavy metal, and early 2000s comeback recordings, with a new line-up.From the peak of their classic full-length album Liars, Killers And Master Thieves (1991) to every unreleased sonic riff in between, Living On The Edge - The Demos revives these forgotten Chicago metal heroes in all their unfiltered glory. If demo grit makes you flinch, then this release isn't for you. But if you crave real American metal, this might be your new holy grail.Available worldwide for the first time on vinyl LP and CD, Living On The Edge - The Demos will include a total of 8 songs, liner notes with exclusive details about each of these recordings, and rare band pictures.In April 2026, the band will give a special performance at the legendary Keep It True festival in Germany. It will be the band's first performance in Europe!For fans of: KING DIAMOND, JUDAS PRIEST, AMULANCE, HELSTAR.

Master, We Perish's deluxe reissue is newly remastered and expanded.The Body's landmark record Master, We Perish, originally released in 2013, found the acclaimed duo at a crossroads in their career. Recorded just before the duo of drummer Lee Buford and guitarist/vocalist Chip King were leaving their longtime home of Providence for Portland and released in between their breakthrough albums All the Waters of the Earth Turn to Blood and Christs, Redeemers, Master expanded on the duo's love of layered worldbuilding with more precision and a stronger emphasis on percussive samples than ever before. The seeds of the duo's celebrated collaborative inclination are evident as the album features Assembly of Light Choir leader Chrissy Wolpert, choir member Reba Mitchell, Otesanek vocalist Leslie Weitz, and guitarist David Lifrieri. With the expanded edition, the album's striking cover painting by Providence mainstay Manifester aka Matt Brinkman (Mindflayer, Forcefield) is finally rendered in it's original form.Master, We Perish is expanded with rare bonus tracks from The Body's early days, taken from a pair of rare 7" singles Cop Killer/Dead Cops as well as a split with Get Killed. These storied singles mark the first time the band truly pushed the boundaries of sound in the studio and on record. It also marks the beginning of The Body's practice of wielding the studio as a veritable weapon to translate their gargantuan sound with deeper impact on LP. The results are not only pushing the capacity of the album format but are sonically riveting. The bonus material was recorded at Machines with Magnets. The band described them economically: "NASTY."

Florida deathcore heavyweights Bodysnatcherreturn with their most punishing and purposefulstatement to date. 'Hell Is Here, Hell IsHome', marks the groups fourth studio album outApril 10. Brutal, unrelenting, and emotionallyunfiltered, the album captures a band fullylocked into it's identity while sharpening everyweapon in it's arsenal.True to their roots, Bodysnatcher deliver a sound steepedin suffocating grooves, bone-crushing breakdowns, andferal intensity. 'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home' pushesbeyond pure aggression. The record explores cycles oftrauma, self-destruction, survival, and the uncomfortabletruth that for many, suffering is not a phase, it is a place.This is deathcore grounded in lived experience, writtenfrom inside the fire rather than in hindsight.Across the album, Bodysnatcher balance sonic violencewith a disciplined sense of control. Downtuned riffsgrind with oppressive weight, drums hit with mechanicalprecision, and vocals swing between outright hostilityand grim reflection. Each track feels deliberate, builtnot just to hit hard, but to linger.With this release, Bodysnatcher continue to cementtheir position as one of modern deathcore's mostuncompromising voices. 'Hell Is Here, Hell Is Home' is arecord built for the pit, rooted in truth, unflinching andheavy in every sense, delivered with absolute conviction.

There's a tendency in metal to mistake aggression for honesty, volume for depth. To confuse the performance of darkness with it's actual weight. Hidden Fires Burn Hottest, the new album from San Francisco-based post-black metal band Bosse-de-Nage, sidesteps this entirely. It's the group's most fully realized work yet, precisely because it refuses to be pinned down.Bosse-de-Nage have been working with The Flenser for over fifteen years. They were one of the first bands the label ever partnered with and have the longest active relationship in the label's history. But unlike most bands who build momentum through constant touring and visibility, Bosse-de-Nage has largely existed apart from the music world's usual machinery. They've evolved on their own terms, in relative isolation, allowing the work to develop without outside pressure or influence. What began rooted in black metal anonymity has mutated into something that actively defies categorization. The aggression is still there, but it's no longer the point.Hidden Fires Burn Hottest finds the band treating emotions like physical objects, feelings with spatial properties. "No Such Place" describes a space that can't exist but does anyway, somewhere between thought and location. "Immortality Project" examines infinite possibility not as promise but as problem, endless options collapsing under their own weight. These songs don't use metaphor to describe emotion. They make emotion into something you could theoretically touch.Tracked by Jack Shirley (Deafheaven, Oathbreaker) at Atomic Garden East and mixed and mastered by Richard Chowenhill of Agriculture, Hidden Fires Burn Hottest was years in development, with some tracks beginning in 2018. The long writing process offered time that most records don't get. Time to live with ideas, revise endlessly, to let structures settle. For the first time, lyricist Bryan Manning wrote everything in advance, creating a surplus to pull from rather than working under deadline pressure. The difference shows.Coming off Further Still, an album built on constraint and economy, Bosse-de-Nage sought the opposite: sprawl, strangeness, fewer rules. Space for ideas to develop without rushing them. Dynamics that move through quiet as much as noise. Presence earned through atmosphere instead of volume. The record even includes "Mementos," which might be considered the first love song the band has ever written.Nothing here coheres into a theme. These are pieces pulled from low moments and private feelings made public through sound. The band has never been interested in positivity, in music that resolves cleanly or offers comfort. But bleakness doesn't mean humorlessness. There's something darkly funny running through much of it, even when it shouldn't be.Hidden Fires Burn Hottest doesn't explain itself. It just insists: what you feel is as real as what you can see.

Bound in Fear have been crafting their sound over the years, honing it into an undisputed heavyweight bomber. 'A MIND TOO SICK TO HEAL is a hellish journey into the darkest side of the human mind, Smashing out of the gates with 'SENTENCED' & 'CHASM', the first stand alone singles to be lifted from the forthcoming album, BIF roar a statement of intent that ups the heat ever so slightly from their usual downtempo delivery, before returning to the familiar crushing slabs of concrete the band are revered for. 'THREE KNEE DEEP' & 'DARKNESS REDEFINED' follow as the spotlight cuts for what is unquestionable one of the heaviest albums to ever emerge out of the United Kingdom.

Boundaries ignores trends, fades, and has no interest in being the flavor of the month. Instead, the band delivers a full scale sensory onslaught entirely on their own terms. With this record, Boundaries set out to be uncompromising and plant their flag with intent. Across 14 tracks, the album never lets up pairing punishing instrumentation with unrelenting lyricism. It also features “Skies cast amber black,” which landed early support from Revolver, Knotfest, and several other publications right out of the gate.
