IN THE WOODS… reveal the video clip ‘The Things You Shouldn’t Know’ as the next advance single taken from their forthcoming new album Otra. The seventh full-length of the Norwegian avant-garde metal band from the city of Kristiansand has been slated for release on April 11, 2025.

IN THE WOODS… comment on ‘The Things You Shouldn’t Know’: "This single is an 8 minute power display as we take a dive back in time to bring back certain elements of ‘what used to be’; and it also demonstrates how we take our roots seriously", guitarist and keyboard player Kåre André Sletteberg explains. "This track is a hard hitting melodic piece of art with smooth and beautiful vocal melodies blended with black metal elements on guitars. It’s stretching from the darkest corners of the forest into the melodic meadows of our dreams and nightmares. When this piece was completed, we knew that due to the many elements, dynamics, and feelings worked into the song, it was a more than worthy opener for the album. Doom!"

Watch: ‘Delusional’ by Leatherette

As they near the end of their UK and European tour, Leatherette are back with their latest single ‘Delusional’, the follow-up to the cathartic breakup anthem ‘Itchy’.

‘Delusional’ is a powerful song that explores the complex emotions of yearning for connection while feeling disconnected from the world around you. A song for those caught between the urge to dance and the desire to leave without saying goodbye. The track encapsulates the struggle of wanting to fit in with someone you love while feeling like an outsider in their world.

Musically, ‘Delusional’ weaves together elements from different eras and genres, fusing the gritty sound of ’90s alternative rock with modern influences drawn from hip-hop and electronic music. The result is a dynamic and engaging sonic experience that reflects the longing for connection and acceptance.

After testing the songs live during their second album Small Talk tour last year, they decided to record them spontaneously at home, in messy rooms and using cheap instruments (including unlikely ones such as mandolin and bouzouki).

“Being eternally dissatisfied, but also tireless explorers, we decided to return to our origins, seeking the expressive freedom that can be found in DIY”. The result was then entrusted for mixing to the usual collaborator Chris Fullard (Idles, Boris), and for mastering to Maurizio Baggio (The Soft Moon, Boy Harsher).

Watch: ‘Unisex Games’ by Astari Nite

ASTARI NITE is delighted to announce the release of their vivid & unapologetic new video for the track, ‘Unisex Games’.

The video and single for ‘Unisex Games’ can only best be described in the words of ASTARI NITE’s vocalist, Mychael: “’Unisex Games’ was written as a sort of tongue in cheek to the max song. I mean, relationships often find an invasive way of telling you how you’re going to spend your time whether you like it or not, right? So, make it worthwhile, have an imagination or get a hobby and try your luck at painting. For what it’s worth, anyone I’ve ever come across has helped define my unusual ways to this very day and for that, I will always be thankful.”

Regarding the music video for ‘Unisex Games’, Mychael goes on to say: “The start of the year was a f**king horror story. My therapist recommended doing something amusing and so I did. My bandmates met me at my hotel, and we played pretend for an hour or two making the ‘Unisex Games’ music video. There is a certain kind of magic that takes place when you can find comfort in the people you surround yourself with. Being obnoxiously silly comes naturally for the four of us. The happiness that is displayed in the video may help some people put a smile on their face for a moment during these chaotic times. This is why I chose to release the video a few weeks before the actual single that comes out on March 14th.”

Pale Blue Eyes have announced details of their third studio album. New Place will be released on the band’s Broadcast Recordings label on 7th March. The latest single, ‘The Dreamer’ is out now.

Watch ‘The Dreamer’ video here:

Guests on the album include two musicians who have featured in the PBE live line-up – Tom Sharkett, music producer and guitarist with W.H. Lung, and music producer and musician Lewis Johnson-Kellett.

“The new album comes with a new landscape,” says Matt…“I hope the result is uplifting. The album reflects the end of an era and embracing new beginnings. But when we were unpacking in our new house in Sheffield we found an old slide projector that had belonged to my mum and Dad. We spent hours looking through the old 35mm slides and decided to use one for the album cover. The album arrives on the back of extensive and emotional transit, a record of time reflecting on a lifetime of memories – but now beside a world of new beginnings.”

The album will be released on classic black 180g vinyl, limited edition transparent blue 180g vinyl and CD. There will be an exclusive limited edition with Rough Trade that includes a clear 180g vinyl + bonus 7”. There will also be an exclusive signed print for anyone who pre-orders their copy through DRIFT record shop in Devon.

The band have announced a full UK tour for April 2025:

Thu 3rd – Thekla, Bristol

Fri 4th – Brudenell Social Club, Leeds

ANTROPOMORPHIA unleash the sinister performance video ‘Cancerous Bane’ as the first single taken from their new full-length Devoid of Light. The sixth studio album of the Dutch death metal veterans has been scheduled for release on May 16, 2025.

AA

ANTROPOMORPHIA comment: “The first advance single ‘Cancerous Bane’ represents Devoid of Light well, although it is one of many faces that our forthcoming album shows”, frontman Ferry Damen writes. “The track opens with a ruthless maelstrom of riffs accompanied by violent wailing screams to set the tone. ‘Cancerous Bane’ refers to a path of spreading blackness, the waging of war against the betrayal of earthly flesh and its futile struggle against the timeless slumber.”

Watch: ‘Narrow Tracks’ by Berries

BERRIES have released the official video for their power-pop tune ‘Narrow Tracks’, taken from their self-titled sophomore album, BERRIES, which arrived in the autumn of last year.

In their new video for ‘Narrow Tracks’, Berries splice fuzzy live footage together with shots of lead vocalist Holly Carter ripping up jigsaws, devouring books backwards, and walking the pavement like a tightrope in her crimson Converse. Each shot reflects the indecision and doubt that runs throughout the song’s lyrics, with many playing in reverse or at an unnatural speed.

“Doubts tingle with the facts, like passing trains on narrow tracks,” the band sing as the video cuts to live shots of the band performing at their BBC Introducing session earlier this year. The new release also acts as a lyric video, layering handwriting-style text over each shot.

The band explain the themes of the song:

“’Narrow Tracks’ is a song for anyone who struggles with OCD. It speaks of those tingling doubts, the constant stream of dark thoughts and the longing to be able to do the simplest of tasks, but ultimately it’s an optimistic track. It’s about fighting back and finding strength to keep those thoughts at bay.”

The video arrives just ahead of BERRIES’ support slot with Xtra Mile Recordings label mate FRANK TURNER & THE SLEEPING SOULS. The band will join Turner and co. at their Wolverhampton Wulfrun Halls show on Tuesday, 18th February.

This March, BERRIES will also embark upon a run of shows in celebration of International Women’s Day. The three-date tour kicks off at Bodega in Nottingham on 5th March, before BERRIES take their jagged rock sound to Birkenhead and London in the days following. The full list of live dates can be found below. 

LIVE DATES 2025

18 Feb – WOLVERHAMPTON Wulfrun Halls (w/ Frank Turner)

5 March – NOTTINGHAM Bodega (for International Women’s Day)

6 March – BIRKENHEAD Future Yard (for International Women’s Day)

7 March – LONDON Signature Brew (for International Women’s Day)

Canadian electronic music artist NEOKOSMOS is excited to drop a new single, entitled ‘My Heart Is A Wasteland’ via Portal label.

The Montréal-based artist comes back with an absolute wall of sound for the 4th single from this Full Moon series. This time, the project mastermind Aeon takes us through a journey of ethereal soundscapes that then lead to total chaos and destruction in a roaring chant of synthesizers. Filled with madness, this is an experimental industrial piece that leaves nothing in its wake.

Watch the official video here:

Watch: ‘Eddy Derecho’ by Evidence of a Struggle

‘Eddy Derecho’ is the first single from Chicago-based sonic collective Evidence of a Struggle’s second album, Eddy Derecho, which will be released in the spring of 2025.

W P C Simmons V (Rev. Billy), Matt Walker, Alan Berliant, Solomon Walker, and John Airo have worked for most of 2024 weaving a dense tapestry of sonic, musical, lyrical, and visual observations of what’s happening in our world now, what’s happened in the past and what may happen in the future.

Rev. Billy says, ”The music and videos we’ve created for this record have really helped us make sense personally, and as a collective of what’s going on in our world, how it’s effecting and affecting everyone regardless of their race, religion, color, ability, or socioeconomic standing. Maybe our music can help us recognize a better way to approach the idiocy happening in this world. The wars, inequity, inequality, pain, suffering, anger… maybe it can help everyone else really look at themselves a little closer and not become part of the problem.”

Ennn-joy.

mclusky announce new album–watch ‘way of the exploding dickhead’

mclusky, masters of razor-sharp wit, jagged riffs and unrelenting energy, return with their first new album in 20 years: the world is still here and so are we (may 9, ipecac recordings).

today, mclusky previews the 13-song album with a two-song digital single: “way of the exploding dickhead” and “unpopular parts of a pig.” a cheeky video for “way of the exploding dickhead” directed by remy lamont, was released simultaneously. with a blistering mix of tightly wound aggression and wry humour, mclusky’s edge is as sharp as ever.

andrew falkous: "with a title modelled on/ripped off a formative video game (‘the way of the exploding fist’ on the zx spectrum), and lyrics inspired by the huge excitement caused by the surge pricing on tickets to see a band play well in the distance, ‘way of the exploding dickhead’ is a modern parable, without the parable bit.”

it’s important to state that the world is still here and so are we is the fourth mclusky album (no qualification being needed). they had an asterisk next to the name for a bit – out of respect for past band members and the precious memorial glue of teenage musical crushes – but fuck that, in for a penny, in for a pound. lyrically it touches on subjects as rich and as varied as work-it-out-yourself and impenetrable-inside-joke-for-the-band, but one thing is clear, all of the songs have different words. all hilarious joking aside, the best songs are about things without being precisely about them. mclusky endorse this sentiment. they positively insist on it.

Watch: ‘Haunting’ by The Awakening

Gothic Rock / Darkwave act THE AWAKENING presents ‘Haunting’, the latest taster of their eponymous album, out now on vinyl, CD, digitally and various limited-edition formats via Intervention Arts. With a music video in classic black-and-white format, ‘Haunting’ follows ‘Mirror Midnight’, which has amassed over 1.1 million views, establishing The Awakening’s return to its dark roots.

Now US-based, The Awakening was formed in Johannesburg, South Africa in the late ’90s as the creative expression of vocalist, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter ASHTON NYTE, anointed as ‘Johannesburg’s Bowie’ for his widely varying musical styles and theatrical performances. He calls this single “a celebration of old-school Gothic Rock, with a suitable dose of Post-Punk swagger and a wink at the camera. It’s probably the most whimsical song on the album. I wanted the video to capture some campy Horror B-Movie goodness, and I am very happy with the result”.
