Chelsea Grin

The deathcore band Chelsea Grin formed in Salt Lake City, Utah, US in 2007 and has been cranking out some of the heaviest, grittiest albums in their genre.

Slaughter To Prevail

Slaughter To Prevail is pushing heavy music to new extremes, delivering unapologetically hard modern metal while smashing expectations, and becoming one of the most talked about bands in heavy music in the process. With over one million monthly Spotify listeners, STP are arguably the highest streaming band in extreme music, a fact further reflected in their live shows. Packing out sizeable venues on their headline shows, the band also draw huge crowds at their festival appearances, and led a record-breaking wall-of-death at last summer’s HELLFEST OPEN AIR.

Slaughter To Prevail’s journey began in the most unlikely of ways—two musicians from completely different worlds. Alex Terrible, forging his monstrous vocals from a small bedroom in the cold, rural Russian city of Yekaterinburg, crossed paths online with guitarist Jack Simmons, who sharpened his craft in a quiet town on the outskirts of Essex, UK. What started as a distant collaboration quickly turned into a brotherhood, as their exchanges of ideas took shape, songs were formed and it became apparent to Jack and Alex that they were on to something special.

When they’re not commanding festival crowds, frontman Alex Terrible is proving his fighting spirit beyond his musical career. Fresh off a brutal 37-second knockout in Russia’s RCC Bare Knuckle—a promotion known for its savage, no-nonsense fights, Alex is in training to sharpen his skills for a bout with Top Dog Bare Knuckle in May, while discussions continue regarding his American debut with Bare Knuckle FC. Whether wrestling bears in Siberia, preparing for fights in the deep South, or bleeding on stage across the rest of the world, Alex thrives in the most unforgiving environments.

With the summer packed with main stage festival performances across the U.S., Canada, and Europe, 2025 is already shaping up to be a career-defining year for Slaughter To Prevail. Their logo now sits high on the world’s biggest festival posters, a reflection of their rapid ascent. This summer, the band will unveil a brand-new live show, reimagining their already punishing performances with a harder-hitting, more visceral production—an experience designed to pull fans deeper into the chaos, making every moment feel explosive and unpredictable.

All of this momentum leads to “Grizzly”, their most anticipated release yet. Featuring the already released singles 'Conflict,' 'Viking,' '1984,' 'Behelit,' and 'Kid of Darkness,' the album is a relentless assault, balancing raw aggression with massive, unforgettable catchiness, with the next single, 'Russian Grizzly In America,' set to be a heavy metal anthem, packed with hooks strong enough to hang a bear from.

This is Slaughter To Prevail’s moment. “Grizzly” is the culmination of everything they have built, a defining record that cements their place at the top of modern heavy music.

Soen

SOEN emerged from the shadows of Sweden’s progressive metal scene, not with a whisper but with an uncompromising clarity and resolve. Born from the vision of drummer Martin Lopez, previously known for his tenure with the iconic Opeth, and the introspective voice of vocalist Joel Ekelöf, SOEN swiftly carved out a unique identity, their debut album Cognitive (2012) immediately establishing them as a formidable presence.

Their sound is complex yet deeply human, woven together by intricate rhythms, nuanced melodies, and a lyrical depth that demands introspection. The band’s lineup soon solidified, anchored by the versatile multi-instrumentalist Lars Enok Åhlund, guitarist Cody Lee Ford, and the steadfast rhythms of bassist Stefan Stenberg. Over the years, former members such as guitarist Kim Platbarzdis, guitarist Marcus Jidell, and bassist Zlatoyar have also left indelible marks, contributing significantly to the band’s sound and evolution.

The Textures

A modern metal sextet whose avant garde musical output is as brutal as it is diverse or experimental. Since their inception in 2001, Textures – Jochem Jacobs, guitarist Bart Hennephof, drummer Stef Broks, bassist Dennis Aarts and synth maestro Richard Rietdijk – decided the only way to capture the full momentum of their collective creativity was to be involved in every aspect of crafting their 2003 debut album ‘Polars’. From production right through to artwork, the bands meticulous endeavors explosively emerged as a melting pot of polyrhythmic attacks combined with soaring melody. A beast was born. Heralded in the press in their native country Holland as well as overseas, ‘Polars’ was also bestowed an Essent Award for ‘Most Promising Act’ in 2004. Hot on the heels of these accolades TEXTURES took their incendiary live spectacle on the road, racking up a huge array of shows next to inspiring performances at Fury Fest and Lowlands. The next chapter, the next layer, if you will for TEXTURES was their sophomore album, 2006’s ‘Drawing Circles’. With new vocalist Eric Kalsbeek aboard once again band creativity dictated that the album was entirely self-produced, the result a jaw dropping body of work that saw the sextet still frothing with rabid ambition. Determined to push metal and hardcore to breaking point they experimented with bending and moulding the two genres into unexpected new shapes. Taking many a risk but never any prisoners TEXTURES hunger for diversity resulted in ‘Drawing Circles’, ten tracks which were unrestrained by boundaries, trends or conventions. Overwhelming praise engulfed the record with multiple cover stories and equally amazing reviews worldwide. Of course TEXTURES, not the types to be complacent hit the road. Tours with The Ocean, Gojira and Arch Enemy ensued keeping audiences across Europe transfixed for 2006 and much of 2007. This road trek culminated in a Europe wide tour with All That Remains and Misery Signals plus nominations in no less than three categories of Holland’s Live XS Awards. Chapter three in the TEXTURES legacy is about to unfold Late 2007 saw bassist Remko Tielemans join as the band prepared to enter the studio to record album number three. Once more the self autonomy of TEXTURES came into it’s own at the hands of uber producer and guitarist Jochem Jacobs to create the bands most ambitious project to date, the result is ‘Silhouettes’. Having already burned metal’s blueprint with ‘Polars’ and ‘Drawing Circles’, TEXTURES have taken their already rich and vibrant sound and pushed it to an entirely new level. Defying genre’s ‘Silhouettes’ is the bands most varied, intense, daring and most ambient record to date. This long anticipated masterpiece of diversity and ingenuity will easily elevate TEXTURES to the pillars of modern metal legend, setting a benchmark all others shall toil to surpass. Their time is now….

Paradise Lost

More than three decades into their career, and with over two million albums sold, Paradise Lost remain the undisputed kings of metal’s dark side. Formed in Halifax in 1988, the band quickly became noted as the pioneers of gothic metal through their early groundbreaking albums like 1991’s aptly-titled ‘Gothic’, a mixture of heaviness intertwined with shadowy melody and atmosphere.

Never a group to remain creatively static, across their career they’ve explored a myriad of avenues of dark music, from sludgy doom-death roots, to conquering the metal mainstream with the enormous, lush sounds of 1995’s ‘Draconian Times’, to more experimental, electronic leanings, leaving an influence on a trail of artists.

Now, in 2025, the Yorkshire quintet return with their staggering 17th album, ‘Ascension’, a record that sees their crown continue to gleam as it underlines just how they attained their position. The albums 10 tracks traverse the multitude of sounds in the band’s arsenal, from full-bore heavy metal to sky-high melody, all the while keeping a minor-key melancholy that remains irresistible.

The NEW album ”Ascension”, is out September 19th, via Nuclear Blast Records, Pre-Order and Pre-Save: paradiselost.bfan.link/ascension

Mass Hysteria

Miracle of Sound

Schandmaul is a German rock/folk band. The band specializes in a genre of music often known as "Medieval-Folk Rock", as they often include instruments typically used in Medieval folk songs such as the bagpipes and shawms as parts of their rock sound. Contemporaries include Subway to Sally, In Extremo, Saltatio Mortis, Regicide and Letzte Instanz. Schandmaul was founded in the summer of 1998, when six musicians from Munich and the surrounding area decided to put on a concert of folks music songs. Because just doing covers was not enough, they decided to write some of their own stuff. Thus was created the first tune they wrote themselves, "Teufelsweib" (Devil Woman), which already had what was to become the typical Schandmaul sound that they've built on over the years.

Visions of Atlantis

“There are tales that will be told forever -

Carried by the wind, through the years, timeless…”

- Unknown

Ship’s log:

July 5, 2024; High Seas

A new day of sailing begins, the wind on our side, and the sea speaks of recent battles. The air feels

fresh - Hypocrisy, greed, envy - hearts of the old world finally disclose their deluded truth. Old leaders

are losing ground, their lies are getting worse, and darkness creeps in. Each sunny day hides a coming

storm, nature testing our strength for the last battle.

We've become pirates as their counterparts, free-spirited and true at heart. Navigating storms that try

to make us doubt, we see the light in the darkness. The old truth is fading, making room for a new story.

Our destiny is in our hands, in our hearts, in every step we take. Reconnecting with ourselves, we touch

the essence of life we share with all creatures. Together, unstoppable, connected to the truth, guided

by the sun and storms.

We'll rule the oceans, the mainland, every street, every house, spreading hope. Our pirate cries will last

for centuries, with ancestors humming our tunes, our words sung in the new world we create. Our glory

will live on forever. United as one force, one army, under a final ARMADA."
