Mannequin Pussy’s music feels like a resilient and galvanizing shout that demands to be heard. Across four albums, the Philadelphia rock band that consists of Colins “Bear” Regisford (bass, vocals), Kaleen Reading (drums, percussion), Maxine Steen (guitar, synths), and Marisa Dabice (guitar, vocals) has made cathartic tunes about despairing times. “There’s just so much constantly going on that feels intentionally evil that trying to make something beautiful feels like a radical act ,” says Dabice. “The ethos of this band has always been to bring people together.”Their new album, I Got Heaven, which is out March 1 via Epitaph Records, is the band’s most fully realized recording yet. Over ten ambitious tracks which abruptly turn from searing punk to inviting alternative pop, the album is deeply concerned with desire, the power in being alone, and how to live in an unfeeling and unkind world. It’s a document of a band doubling down on their unshakable bond to make something furious, thrilling, and wholly alive.Following the 2019 release of their critically acclaimed third album Patience, Mannequin Pussy returned in 2021 for their EP Perfect. They toured that release relentlessly and added guitarist Maxine Steen to the band’s official lineup. The band changed their entire creative formula, choosing to write together in the studio in Los Angeles with producer John Congleton , over slowly crafting tracks at home. “Everyone felt empowered to speak up about their own ideas to make this thing the best it could possibly be,” says Regisford.

After more than 35 years, ten studio albums, and eight Grammy Awards, Metallica has more than proven it's staying power as rock's preeminent metal group. They are one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '80s and '90s, inspiring generations of rockers with their early thrash and later hard rock sounds before settling into their roles as a popular legacy act in the 2000s. Responsible for bringing the metal genre back to earth, the bandmates looked and talked like they were from the street, shunning the usual rock star games of metal musicians during the mid-'80s pop-metal renaissance. In The Many Faces of Metallica, we will review their catalog via tribute performances by bands that have been heavily influenced by the quartet from Los Angeles, California. Included here are versions of Metallica songs from their first album in 1983 thru St. Anger from 2003. Also included are many of the bands that helped shape the sound of Metallica including Motorhead, Saxon, Venom, Blitzkrieg and Budgie. With fantastic artwork and remastered sound, The Many Faces of Metallica is an essential addition to our Many Faces collection, and, remember that the album is not available on streaming platforms!

"While performing at an early Twentieth Century steam driven power plant and imagining what it's industrial ambiance might have been, an outline of 'A Penchant for the Useless' emerged. Like many of my projects, the album started with a search for the kinds of unique, amusical sounds I wanted to work with. And credit is also due to a rereading of Nicolas Collins' 'Handmade Electronic Music.'" Using a collection of electric guitar pickups, contact microphones, and transducers that would vibrate random metallic and wooden objects, Barreca built a library of loop recordings. Also recorded were the electronic buzzes and bleeps of a computer and various home appliances. Granular effect processing and layering with a sampler and a physical modeling synth transformed this largely atonal source material into deep, harmonious assemblages. These long chains of sonic transformations fused with the dark beauty of their industrial steam-era inspiration, and resonate throughout the music. Only rarely will these pieces hint at their now obsolete and decaying source materials. 'A Penchant for the Useless' is Marc Barreca's 15th solo album, adding to a catalog of constantly evolving and refining experimentation and compositional innovation that now spans more than four decades.Barreca has also collaborated with Three Point Circle, Young Scientist, Savant, and K. Leimer. Mastered by Taylor Deupree at 12K Mastering. UPC: 195269404352Label: Palace Of LightsRelease Date: 5.1.26Format: CD

Seelie Court - the world's premier label for rare and previously unreleased archive recordings of underground folk, rock, proto-metal, and psychedelic music presents After the Races. Marvelous Kid. Gigged across Great Britain in the early 70s and played the first ever Glastonbury Festival, performing stunning Canterbury-esque extended Art Rock tracks. Their name originates from an American edition of Kipling's Just So Stories, and is spelt with one 'L' causing mass confusion and misspellings from day one, even amongst the band themselves. These studio tracks were for a planned 1973 LP that never was - and it's some of the finest complex Prog Rock of the era. At times there's a hint of the great Robert Calvert in the vocal. File with Caravan, Soft Machine and Yes.

Massive Ego celebrate their 30th anniversary alongside their new album Symphony of Flies. A powerful, defining statement in Massive Ego's long and uncompromising career, it marks not only three decades of existence, but also a moment of reckoning, survival, and renewal. Across ten tracks, Massive Ego transform personal collapse, recovery, and resistance into one of their darkest, most emotional, and most personal works to date. Musically, the album moves effortlessly between darkwave, electronic rock, EBM, glam-infused bombast, and confrontational pop, pairing club-ready intensity with deeply introspective lyricism. Singles such as "In Your Own Darkness," "Hit the Kerb Running," "(My) Death Song," "Man Become Monster," and "Broken Tomorrow" showcase the band at their most fearless, culminating in a standout collaboration with Boy George-whose presence reinforces the album's themes of endurance, reinvention, and personal growth. Lyrically, Symphony of Flies reads like confessions in a journal, as frontman Marc Massive confronts mental health struggles, betrayal, isolation, and the long climb back from the brink, reframing darkness not as something to romanticize but as something to fight through. The album's title, Symphony of Flies, evokes surveillance, toxicity, decay, and transformation: the unseen forces that drain, observe, and attempt to undermine, until they are finally confronted and dispersed.

Forty years ago, Lancaster's Great Hall descended into prolonged silence. It remains a house of memories for historic gigs from days gone by, bearing the footprints of names considered legends, including The Who, Black Sabbath and Queen. Then Massive Wagons brought the noise back. Proud to call Lancaster home, the rockers were a clear and perfect choice to restore rock music to this former gem of the touring circuit - and praised by original promoter Barry Lucas, author of 'When Rock Went To College'.The moment proved so important that they chose to preserve it on record forever. Recorded on 19th and 20th September 2025, the live album captures the grin-inducing, ear-ringing sense of fun the Wagons inspire when they get on stage and bash through their hits. And, given both shows sold out, it's a means of travelling back to that glorious moment even if you couldn't be there in person. "We've been knocking around the idea of a live album for years now, but the time has never felt right," says guitarist Adam Thistlewaite. "In these Lancaster University Great Hall shows, we have a great story in bringing live music back to an iconic venue and our live shows have been taken to another level after the heavy touring of the last few years. We love making studio albums, but the live energy, the passion of the crowd, it's what we do it for ultimately, so this is going to be special."

Formed in 1986, Maximum Penalty lay claim as one of the most unique bands that emerged during the peak of New York Hardcore. The band, established by vocalist Jimmy Williams and joined by guitarist Joseph Affe in 1988, started out as fast hardcore punk and gradually evolved to something more, driven by melody backed rhythms and soulful clean sung vocals. A staple at legendary venues like CBGB and Coney Island High from the get go, Maximum Penalty also made their way across North America and Europe in the '90s, sharing the stage with bands such as Agnostic Front, Madball, Sick Of It All, and Gorilla Biscuists. Maximum Penalty's initial run spanned an impressive discography - Demo 89, 1995's East Side Story EP, 1996's Independent LP, 1997's Super Life LP, and a number of tracks on various compilations including Blackout Records' Where The Wild Things Are and Satisfaction Guaranteed. Maximum Penalty would emerge again in 2009 with the Life & Times LP (Reaper Records), carrying their sound to listeners new and old.The impact Maximum Penalty has had on the modern hardcore scene cannot be denied. Turnstile featured the band on an influential playlist and the Hardlore podcast declared Maximum Penalty one of the "most underrated hardcore bands." In 2025, Baltimore hardcore band End It released a cover of "Could You Love Me?" from 1996's Independent, breathing new life into the track and swaying fans to discover the original. For it's 30th anniversary, Independent will be pressed to vinyl for the first time ever through Flatspot Records.Guitarist Joseph Affe remarks:"Maximum Penalty's Independent is the only record that has never had a vinyl release because at the time it was released on CD, vinyl was an afterthought. As we kept playing and putting out new releases, releasing Independent on vinyl was something we always wanted to do and here we are finally, 30 years later. Independent era was a great time in Maximum Penalty's history - it means a lot to us to see that a newer crowd are discovering the record for the first time, it's incredible!"

Previously unreleased rock musical by Judge Smith (co-founder of Van der Graaf Generator) and Maxwell Hutchinson, first performed in 1976. Inspired by the extraordinary English youth movement of the same name, The Kibbo Kift blends history, ritual, satire and 1970s rock songwriting into a dramatic and highly original song cycle. This first-ever CD release brings together 24 tracks from studio sessions, home-recorded tapes, and a live performance directed by Mel Smith (Not The Nine O'Clock News). Restored and remastered by Prof. Stoned with full involvement from both creators, it's a fascinating and newly unearthed chapter in Britain's underground musical story.

With their new opus Liturgy of Death, MAYHEM reaffirm their status as the most uncompromising force in Norwegian Black Metal. After four decades of extremity, the band has reached a new apex of darkness: faster, fiercer, and more sinister than anything in their recent catalog. The album unfolds as a relentless meditation on death in all its manifestations – existential, spiritual, and absolute. From the furious chaos of “Despair” and “Funeral of Existence” to the bleak grandeur of “Ephemeral Eternity” and “Aeon’s End”, each track drags the listener deeper into a ritual of misery and transcendence. “Propitious Death” and “The Sentence of Absolution intertwine brutality with ominous atmosphere, while “Life Is a Corpse You Drag” and “Sancta Mendacia” leave no doubt that Mayhem remain unmatched in channeling despair into sound. With Necrobutcher, Hellhammer, Attila, Teloch, and Ghul locked into a unit tighter than ever, Liturgy of Death presents a band not content to rest on legacy but determined to push the boundaries of extremity itself. The result is a merciless record – dark, fast, and unrelenting – that captures Mayhem in their most dangerous and vital form. Forty years since their birth in Langhus, MAYHEM continue to embody chaos, proving once more that Norwegian Black Metal is a force without end.
