International touring musician and multi-instrumentalist Nadav Tabak returns to the UK with his immersive solo project and the release of his new single, ‘Electric Roots’, a powerful instrumental journey blending driving electronic trance with raw, organic instrumentation.

Following years of international touring, Tabak has carved out a distinct sonic identity: a live performance that merges hypnotic beats, tribal textures, and virtuosic guitar work into a dance-floor ritual experience.

Electric Roots represents the core of his sound both literally and metaphorically. The track explores the fusion between the electric world of trance and the rooted, earthy essence of acoustic instruments. Pulsing basslines and driving techno rhythms intertwine with organic timbres, live looping, and expressive instrumentation, creating something that feels both ancient and futuristic.

Unlike traditional DJ sets, Tabak performs entirely live, building layers in real time through looping, percussion, and melodic improvisation. The result is an instrumental experience that is rhythm-driven, immersive, and uniquely his own.

The upcoming UK tour will showcase this evolving sound in intimate venues and festival settings, offering audiences a high-energy, genre-blending performance that moves seamlessly between dancefloor intensity and organic atmosphere.

With Electric Roots, Nadav Tabak continues to push the boundaries between electronic music and live instrumental performance grounding trance in something human, physical, and deeply rooted.

Watch: ‘Home’ by Wooden Overcoat

Previewing the debut Hello Sunbeam EP, this is the first official transmission from the band, blending the sun-drenched textures of 60s garage rock with the restless energy of raw fuzzed-out modern indie spirit. Between the wash of tape echo and reverb, the track finds a sweet spot where lo-fi garage psych meets 90s shoegaze, all anchored by layered harmonies and an evocatively intimate vocal delivery.

The sonic brainchild of multi-instrumentalist Brant Hajek, Wooden Overcoat began in the isolation of 2020, when he returned to music after a hiatus, recording songs he’d written in his late teens. What started as a practice in self-production transformed into a deep creative obsession with soundscapes and gear. Recording in a rented basement, Hajek built the foundation of the EP through spontaneous experimentation—often veering away from planned sessions to follow sudden bursts of inspiration.

“When I wrote ‘Home’, it kind of poured out of me, and I think I’m still interpreting it. But to me, it’s about acknowledging something beautiful, even if it can’t last. Two people who feel naturally paired, like elements of nature, slowly decomposing and self-destructing,” says Brant Hajek.

“It’s about the inevitable demise of anything, and ultimately that we need to appreciate what is here right now and live in that magical existence. It’s about having the capacity to admire even when things are burning out.”

A study in productive contradictions; while the lyrics and aesthetics might suggest a certain darkness, they are often rooted in inside jokes and a sense of warmth. Hajek’s creative process is a deeply personal, layered journey involving mumbled placeholder lyrics and a patient wait for the specific spark that turns an “emotionally restless” melody into a finished piece.

While Hajek performed every instrument on the studio recordings to preserve the project’s intimate DIY spirit, he has since found his tribe, assembling a full live band to translate these compositions to the stage. With Hajek leading the way on guitar and lead vocals, Wooden Overcoat is rounded out by Dillon Glusker on bass, Mac on guitar, and Brian Levin on drums and backing vocals. Through community, the band creates a fantastic dreamlike environment for like-minded people.

The name Wooden Overcoat—an old Americana euphemism for a coffin—hints at the project’s core philosophy: a playful balance of moody, mystical imagery with light-hearted humor. Hajek’s creative process is personal, the rough versions eventually coalescing into vivid, emotionally resonant themes.

French metallic hardcore force Beyond the Styx reveals the third and final single, ‘Deadlock V,’ from their upcoming album DIVID, due out May 08 via Innerstrength Records. This politically charged track arrives alongside a music video.

Speaking on ‘Deadlock V’, BTSTYX vocalist Emile states: “How could the Western world have remained impassive for so long in the face of the genocide unfolding in the Gaza Strip? How can the legacy of a martyred people allow its own leaders to become the shameless executioners of their own neighbors?

“These are the main questions that tormented my mind during the relentless months of deadly bombings that raged between October 2023 and February 2024 against the people of Gaza. During this period, the Israeli army reportedly dropped more than 25,000 tons of explosives (the equivalent of two nuclear bombs), according to a UN committee of experts.

“Echoing all this suffering was a heavy, mechanical, numbing riff which resonated with me like the echo of the bombings my own gaze fled from each day in the media. Too much blood and too many tears have been shed for my pen to remain unmoved by such suffering and senselessness. How can the innocence of our children ever be protected from this kind of abuse in the future?

“The feeling of fear wreaks havoc on life beyond compare. Understanding the mechanisms at work is essential in a world where emotion reigns supreme, filtered through the media, without losing sight of the fact that the only thing we should fear is fear itself. The fear of dying, or, ultimately, the fear of living?

“This song thus concludes the thematic triptych: amnesia / war / revenge, culminating in the revelation of DIVID.”

Watch: ‘REFLEXO’ by DEAFKIDS

The Brazilian duo DEAFKIDS returns with a new track, ‘REFLEXO’, taken from their upcoming album CICATRIZES DO FUTURO (SCARS OF THE FUTURE), a nine-track album that forges a path beyond the conventions and boundaries of static musical genres. CICATRIZES DO FUTURO is the band’s first non-collaborative full length since 2019’s Metaprogramação, and will be available on LP, CD and Digital formats via Neurot Recordings on 29th May 2026.

‘REFLEXO’ (‘REFLEX’) takes on the band’s most electronic facet, with an afro-industrial minimalist beat complemented by an altered 2-3 clave, submerged in polyrhythms by Sarine’s blended drum/percussion/SPD-X kit and massive eerie synthesisers by Leal.

“The lyrics speak of the “architects of illusion”, the manipulative intention behind the voices that offer a path that leads not to autonomy, but to disorientation.” The band says, continuing, “The goal is never to liberate, but to make people dependent on their false guidance, alienated and fuelling an eternal cycle of need, dependence, and false leadership, with perverse mastery and narratives designed to convince entire populations. Fabricated threats, persuasive propaganda, addictive technological devices and “civilising” missions that are essential to justify the unjustifiable: exploitation, wars and terrible crimes against innocent peoples for domination and power. It’s a cursed script that repeats itself, cycle after cycle, century after century. The language changes, the enemy is redesigned, technologies advance and become more dangerous. We became a reflection of the shadows and evil forces that drive our reality.”

Watch the video here:

Across the new album, CICATRIZES DO FUTURO (SCARS OF THE FUTURE) electronic fury and feverish organic percussion collide with a relentless Latin American punk spirit.

“Conceptually, the album is a visceral diagnosis of a world intoxicated by its own fictions of power, tracing the anatomy of a systemic grand deception and exploring its mechanics of psychological, social, and material domination, the indelible marks imprinted on bodies and minds and its catastrophic consequences. It is a journey from the poisoned and addicted collective psyche to the desperate search for an antidote, while the future seems to be already cursed by the very forces that pretend to build it. Yet, for all its thematic weight, CICATRIZES DO FUTURO is hypnotically danceable – physical and ritualistic music that demands body movement as a form of mental cleansing. The album doesn’t just reflect a fractured and violent world — it breathes desire to live and resist through new sonic paths.”

They continue, “Our music comes from the perception of the environmental, political, and moral toxicity that permeates our realities under such conditions. In the context of the album, the scars are those of a brutally stolen past reflected in a wicked future. A permanent mark of violence is also a memory that will never be silenced!”

Deeply rooted in industrial experimentation and the rawness of black metal, French avant-garde collective Non Serviam have forged a singular style that blurs the boundaries between extreme genres while preserving their intensity through a radical and uncompromising artistic approach.

The collective now announces their third full-length album, La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine, set to be released on June 12 through a new alliance between Non Serviam and Lay Bare Recordings. Alongside the announcement, the band unveil the video for the new track ‘Abject Sacrifice’.

Five years after Le Cœur Bat (2021), and more than a decade after Un Petit peu d’amour Pour la Haine, this new album stands as a major step forward in the band’s evolution. After a prolific run of EPs, splits, and mini-albums, Non Serviam return with a full-length work that pushes further the sonic and aesthetic direction unveiled on Le Cœur Bat, now refined through experimentation and artistic evolution.

La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine is a symbolist concept album centered on the myth of Diana and Actaeon, exploring themes of the desire for the absolute, the violence it engenders, and the melancholy that follows. These ideas permeate the album’s compositions, shaping both the music and the lyrical narratives. Beyond the metamorphosed and tormented figure of Actaeon, the album also draws on historical and mythological figures such as Émile Henry, the late-19th-century French anarchist, and the apocalyptic goddess Kali, invoked through a powerful vocal appearance by Mirai Kawashima (Sigh).

With La Lune Dont Mon Âme Est Pleine, Non Serviam continue their artistic trajectory, delivering a work that is ambitious, confrontational, and emotionally intense, further pushing the boundaries between extreme music, experimental composition, and avant-garde art.

ARROGANZ reveal the next advance single ‘Under Scarred Skin’ taken from the forthcoming new album Death Doom Punks in the shape of an eruptive music video. The seventh full-length of the German death doom punks has been slated for release on May 15, 2026.

ARROGANZ comment: “In terms of the music, this song is not just a tribute to such legends as Carcass, Dying Fetus, Six Feet Under, and even Slayer – it is also a further proof that funky basslines work exceedingly well in death metal”, frontman -K- explains on behalf of the trio. “You want to have groove, feeling, and brutality all in one song? Here you go! Regarding the lyrics, well, you’ll be happy to read that they will drown you in utter despair. Enjoy!”

Iconic Norwegian artist MORTIIS presents the the stunning music video ‘Ghosts of Europa’. This is also the title track (feat. vocals of Sarah Jezebel Deva (The Kovenant, Cradle of Filth, et al.) and Laurie Ann Haus (Blizzard Games, Todesbonden) as well as additional synths and sequencers from Tangerine Dream’s Thorsten Quaeschning) and first advance single taken from his upcoming new full-length.

MORTIIS comments on ‘Ghosts of Europa’: “This song has tried many shapes and forms, until it finally sort of found itself”, the Norwegian writes. “I never thought that it would end up this way. Strange, mysterious, and choral. It started out as a simple thing, a different song, with a different title, which got slowly de-constructed and altered. This did not happen due to dissatisfaction with the original, but because layers of new ideas appeared. As excited as I am about this new ‘entity’ and the way it shaped up, the title, that has already been in existence for years, feels slightly, and sadly, prophetic – although that was never my intention.”

The heat is on: Rome’s skygazers KLIMT 1918 reveal the sun-drenched music video ‘Dream Core’ as the first advance single taken from the forthcoming new full-length Àmor. The beloved Italians’ fifth album has been chalked up for release on June 12, 2026.

KLIMT 1918 comment: “The song ‘Dream Core’ revolves around resilience, strength, and the ability to overcome life’s adversities”, frontman Marco Soellner explains. “We dedicate this track to those who choose to love despite everything. To those who believe that a song can trigger the will to change. To those who feel like a storm about to break over a sun-scorched desert.”

The burning pulse of the sun’s nuclear fire scorching the desert. The smooth sliding of glistening skin over other skin in a throbbing rhythm. The swelling hum of motion in a mass of bodies. KLIMT 1918 capture many such fleeting moments in time and preserve them through cascading walls of sound and the elegant drone of guitars.

The Italian’s fifth album, Àmor, represents a climax of their acclaimed previous work into a most melancholic, sensual, and majestic collection of captivating music. Àmor was born out of silence, solitude and social distancing. Yet as a deliberate artistic counterpoint, KLIMT 1918 decided to have all their new songs revolve around carnality, ardour, physical contact between bodies, and the urgent, compelling feelings that keep people awake at night.

With Àmor, KLIMT 1918 also take another step in the steady evolution of their sound. The influences of avant-garde metal have been dwindling from the start while darkwave and alternative rock rapidly grew stronger in the music of the Italians. Post-rock plays a strong role in their latest development but instead of shyly narrowing their perspective down by gazing at their shoes, KLIMT 1918 dream with open eyes, looking up above the horizon and into the sky.

KLIMT 1918 emerged from the ashes of a metal band in 1999 when the brothers Marco and Paolo Soellner rather chose to take fresh inspiration from such acts as BAUHAUS, THE CURE, and JOY DIVISION. This was also indicated by their new band’s name, which alludes to the Austrian symbolist painter and Art Nouveau pioneer Gustav Klimt, who died in 1918 while the Great War was still raging. The debut album of the Romans, Undressed Momento, arrived in 2003 and its dark emotionality immediately garnered high praise from critics and fans alike all over Europe.

Founded by vocalist/guitarist Finnegan Bell, Love Ghost is an enigmatic Los Angeles-based act known for its distinctive blend of grunge, indie/alt-rock, emo, metal and trap rock coupled with mature, poetic lyrics. Their raw, energetic sound has earned numerous plaudits, while a series of collaborations with a wide variety of other artists have broadened the group’s cross-genre appeal.

Their version of ‘Rock Me Amadeus’, a global smash hit in 1986 for the Austrian musician Falco, is available as a single now. Turning the classic yet fun song into something darker with an industrial rock flair while preserving the pop brilliance of the original version, it is a must hear for any fan of Rammstein or Marilyn Manson.

The song is the second to be lifted from ‘Anarchy and Ashes’, a new EP out on 27th March. It follows ‘Vengeance’, an uptempo hard rock track with an anthemic quality released in mid-January, the music video for which has already racked up almost 300,000 YouTube plays.

Watch: ‘Sanitizer’ by Culture Clash

Following the success of their debut single Bad Odour, Hull’s explosive punk outfit Culture Clash return with the dramatic new single Sanitizer inspired by 70s & 80s slasher horror movies like Halloween (1978), Friday the 13th (1980), Basket Case (1982) & Maniac (1990).

Produced by renowned local indie producer Adam Pattrick & released on Warren Records, the track follows a serial killer called “The Cleaner”, a school janitor who, having been driven mad by years of messy teenagers, kills anyone who doesn’t clean up after themselves. With this song, the band were keen to create something grungier & heavier than their normal punk sound, which was initially inspired by Nirvana’s album Bleach, with songs like Swap meet & Floyd the Barber being a key focus, as well as The Misfits, with its horror-based theme.

Vocalist Kaii states “This song is important to me as it represents a shift in our song writing format. ‘Sanitizer’ takes Culture Clash as a group of vague floating ideas & shoves those ideas into a bag creating a tight concept of what we are as a band & what we want to do – in short, it gave us a sense of direction”.

The video’s a direct homage to various horror movies & follows the band being murdered by The Cleaner for various crimes against cleanliness! The deaths are mainly carried out practically with real fake blood & each is a reference to a different horror movie – Rymer’s death relates to The Evil Dead 2 (1987) with lots of blood, intense camera movements & facial expressions, Freddie’s death is a homage to Psycho (1960) with him being killed in the shower & Kaii’s death is inspired by Death Becomes Her (1992) as he gets a hole cut through his torso.

Comprising of Kaii Boulton (guitar, vocals), Freddie Abbott (bass, guitar, BVs) & James Rymer (drums, BVs), Culture Clash describe themselves as a three-piece noise making machine that mixes various musical influences with a big serving of distortion in a witch’s cauldron, who then serve it up straight to their audience. They focus on mixing many elements from their influences (The Misfits, Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Nirvana, Bikini Kill, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Pixies, The Cure & Talking Heads) to tell a narrative that they hope people will relate to.

According to Kaii, Culture Clash exists as a band because “the sky looked nice one day” & he thought it would make a good album cover! Having spent 30% of an early recording session talking with their producer about Star Wars (a mistake they will not be repeating), this determined group have learnt from their mistakes! Headlining gigs in their local area during 2025, Culture Clash are definitely on the rise. Be sure to keep up ….
