A standalone single from two genre blending bands: Babymetal’s Japanese Dance-Pop + Heavy Metal and Electric Callboy’s Thrash-Dance.
Hellacopters: Stay With You
This is the band’s first new original song since the release of their ’22 comeback album “Eyes Of Oblivion.” “It was originally intended to be included on the upcoming LP but we decided to do a ‘Beatles’ and release it as standalone.” commented guitarist/vocalist Nicke Andersson.
Nightwish: Perfume Of The Timeless
It’s a track from the band’s upcoming tenth studio album, “Yesterwynde,” due September 20th. This is the first Nightwish studio album since “00’s “Wishmaster” not feature Marko Hietala who left in ’21 but it’s the band’s first to feature bassist Jukka Koskinen.
Nonpoint: Underdog
“Being the underdog doesn’t mean you’re defeated; it means you have more room to surprise everyone with your resilience and determination,” explained Nonpoint frontman Elias Soriano.
As I Lay Dying: Burden
The song “was originally inspired by a guitar melody I wrote years ago on an old demo, thinking that it was lost for good in the demo abyss,” noted guitarist Phil Sgrosso. “It wasn’t until Tim (Lambesis) dug it up and was inspired to shape a new song idea for it. “
