'Do You Feel Normal' is one of the most captivating and uplifting songs on the album despite its lyrical themes, which deal with alienation and solitude. 

The Hellacopters have written many hits in their career, and this one easily belongs in the top tier. Its enticing lead melody and chorus could become your first addiction in 2025.

ABOUT THE HELLACOPTERS
Less than three years after their triumphant, chart-storming comeback record, Eyes Of Oblivion, which entered on #1 in their home country, on #3 in Germany, and on #6 in Finland, Sweden's most consistently great rock outfit is back with another banger of an album called Overdriver, due out on January 31st, 2025.

In the meantime, THE HELLACOPTERS have celebrated their triumphant return by playing a show with the mighty Iron Maiden in Gothenburg in July 2022, and gigs with Ghost in Germany in June 2023, apart from their own string of headline shows throughout Europe. Eager to keep the rock flowing, February 16th, 2024 saw THE HELLACOPTERS release not one, but two stunning versions of their classic Grande Rock album, which was originally released in 1999. Grande Rock Revisited included a remastered original version and a remixed and partially re-recorded version as a companion piece, showing how the album could have sounded in a parallel universe with guitarist Dregen being in the band at the time. After making rock grande again, the group set sights on new material, debuting the phenomenal single 'Stay With You'  in May 2024 and releasing it as limited 7inch via Lightning Records.

Their ninth full-length Overdriver was recorded at Strawberry Studio & The Honk Palace and is the first THE HELLACOPTERS album entirely produced by Nicke Andersson. As you might expect from a THE HELLACOPTERS album it's filled to the brim with roaring guitars and earth-shattering grooves, fist-raising energy and anthemic choruses, while keeping the variety richer than ever before. The striking cover for Overdriver was created by German illustrator Max Löffler.

Smash Into Pieces release new single 'Heroes'

Swedish rockers Smash Into Pieces have unveiled their new single 'Heroes' - their version of Eurovision 2015's winning entry by Måns Zelmerlöw

Stream here: orcd.co/smashintopiecesheroes

Smash Into Pieces' guitarist Per Bergquist comments: "We loved 'Heroes' when it was released, so it's an honor to create our own interpretation of the song! Our sound is quite different compared to Måns, but 'Heroes' is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and we've brought out the wolf".

The new track follows their previous chart-topping singles, including 'Six Feet Under' and 'Heroes Are Calling.' Both songs have seen significant streaming numbers, with 'Six Feet Under' earning double Platinum status and 'Heroes Are Calling' achieving Gold within weeks of its release.

​Known for their distinctive futuristic and apocalyptic aesthetic, Smash Into Pieces have also gained recognition for their cinematic mini-series 'ARCADIA WORLD,' which explores a parallel virtual reality. Their live performances are marked by powerful choruses and an energetic presence, drawing audiences into what has been described as a "digital cybertronic circus".

​With over a billion streams and views, the band have established a strong global presence. In 2022, they supported Evanescence and Within Temptation on the Worlds Collide Tour, further expanding their reach. 2023 saw Smash Into Pieces achieve a new milestone when 'Six Feet Under' placed #3 in the Swedish Eurovision competition. This was followed by a busy touring schedule across Europe and the US, with a total of over 150 live shows throughout the year.

​2024 began on a high note as the band once again competed in Swedish Eurovision, where they reached #3 in the grand final, and their single topped Swedish radio charts for four weeks. The band ended their year with their sold-out UK headline tour, supported by From Fall To Spring, including London's Electric Ballroom.

THROATCUT. release new track and video 'creep'

Newly signed band THROATCUT. have released their new single and video 'creep.'

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/-fhg_5YGRnI

Stream here: https://arisingempire.com/creep


Packed with atmospheric intensity and powerful lyrics, "creep." weaves a narrative of self-reflection and resilience, all wrapped in THROATCUT.'s signature blend of crushing riffs and emotive melodies. The single stands as a testament to the band's ability to confront heavy emotional themes while delivering an unforgettable sonic experience.

'creep.' is about the voice, or rather the person in your head, that lurks in the shadows and constantly follows you,” the band explain. “It criticizes you, makes you doubt yourself, and tries to take control. But instead of ignoring it, the song emphasizes the importance of awareness and acceptance. Reflecting on yourself and co-existing with this voice can help make it quieter."

Multinational blues-rock institution Ellis Mano Band streams new single 'Count Me In'

Photo Credit: Tabea Hüberli

Multinational blues-rock institution Ellis Mano Band have released their new single 'Count Me In', taken from their new album MORPH, set for release on 21st February 2025 via SPV.

Watch the lyric video for 'Count Me In' here: https://youtu.be/7h8JU8sqqH4

Pre-order MORPH here: https://ellismanoband.lnk.to/morph

'Count Me In' is a powerful rock track that instantly grabs your attention with its mix of heart and energy. "The song combines the raw energy of Heartland Rock with a vocal style reminiscent of David Bowie’s expressive power," says the band. "It’s about love – or maybe it’s not – and the choices we make as we search for our way in life. With its catchy melody and sing-along potential, this song is an invitation to embrace the moment and live life to the fullest. For those ready to dive in completely: Count us in."

With MORPH, the Ellis Mano Band present a multi-faceted, coherent opus. “It is more than just an album for us - it's our next big step, our musical diploma,“ say the band. With songs like the epic ‘Countdown To Nothing’ and the powerful anthem 'For All I Care,'  the band invite their listeners to join in on an intense journey through the evolution of our sound. MORPH represents change and growth – a transformation reflected in every track. Energized riffs meet unexpected, quiet moments, creating a listening experience full of tension and depth. The artwork by Canadian album design legend Hugh Syme (Rush, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi…) perfectly captures this essence and symbolizes the spirit of MORPH. "We are excited to share these new sonic worlds with our fans, both on record and live!” 

With several top 2 rankings in the Swiss album charts and excellent reactions from critics, the Ellis Mano Band continue on their path and will keep on delivering music at its best - timeless and 100% handmade.

On the single, the band comment: "‘Stray’ is a song that speaks deeply from the heart – inspired by all the dogs that remain unwaveringly loyal despite disappointment and pain. Chris Ellis, our singer, who has adopted street dogs himself, wanted to tell the story of an animal that continually seeks love but is left alone time and again. ‘Stray’ shows what true, unconditional loyalty means and reminds us that everyone deserves a home. It’s a musical call to give these strays a second chance." 

The video for the single was created in cooperation with VETO, the association of European animal welfare organisations. The non-profit limited company, which is committed to the welfare of shelter and street animals, provided the Ellis Mano Band with the film material used for the music clip.

The first public airing of Ellis Mano Band’s fourth album MORPH was performed during their support slot to rock legends Deep Purple, on their German tour in July 2024. The record features eleven tracks, including ‘For All I Care’, which was one of the highlights in their set supporting the British rock legends. Powerful and characterised by tempo changes, it is a contemporary, modernised homage to the essence of classic rock from the late 1960s to the end of the 1970s. A quiet acoustic interlude is thrown in for good measure. A definite nod to the unforgotten Old School. Compositional sophistication, variety and incredible playing are the hallmarks of the Anglo-American sound of the Ellis Mano Band. So it was only logical to engage a global great for the cover art. The cartridge with the broken tip and flowers growing in ist case was realised by Canadian album design legend Hugh Syme (Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, Dream Theater, Iron Maiden, Kiss, Rush and many more). The music is just as impressive. It shows how the Ellis Mano Band continue their development in line with the album title.

Legendary artwork designer Hugh Syme comments: "I have always been motivated and inspired to bring a compelling, and (usually) improbable visual solution to those album covers I create for bands whose music, composition, performance and production I truly respect. Such is the case with the Ellis Mano Band. Thank you to Thomas Hammerl for bringing us together! All the best with the launch of the new 'MORPH' album project."

Cytotoxin unleash new single 'Condemnesia'

Photo Credit: Mrs.CONTRAst

After the release of their fourth full-length record Nuklearth in 2020, the nuclear quintet Cytotoxin strikes back with their second standalone single 'Condemnesia'. The band continue their blast of a musical and lyrical concept, tackling the catastrophic incident at the Chernobyl power plant in 1986.

Watch 'Condemnesia' here: https://youtu.be/4stPeEBp6e0

Listen to 'Condemnesia' here: https://cytotoxin.bfan.link/condemnesia

With this second standalone single, Cytotoxin underline their instrumental skills, as well as vocal variety, and demonstrates that technical death metal can indeed be melodic and catchy. 'Condemnesia' sheds light on the victims of the Chernobyl incident, who suffered from acute radiation sickness and describes the desperate and hopeless situation for affected individuals and physicians in the Soviet hospitals.

Cytotoxin have recently announced brand new EU/UK tour dates for April and May this year. A full list of confirmed shows can be found below.

10/04/25 Berlin, DE

On the night of 26th April, 1986  an explosion at the Chernobyl power plant changed the course of the world.

Inspired by this catastrophe, the German death metal band Cytotoxin emerged in 2010, bringing a new level of intensity to the genre. By fusing technical and brutal riffs while thematizing the devastating effects of the reactor disaster, they quickly drew attention in the scene. Their debut album, Plutonium Heaven (2011), was a self-produced powerhouse, followed by their second record, Radiophobia (2012), which secured them a three-album deal with American label Unique Leader Records.

Cytotoxin quickly gained a reputation for their explosive live performances and razor-sharp precision on their instruments. Their third album, Gammageddon (2017), solidified their place in the tech death community, while their fourth album, Nuklearth (2020), showcased their versatility and songwriting capabilities. Following numerous European tours and major festival shows, Cytotoxin just made their U.S. and Canadian debut in November 2024. Now, they are ready to conquer new territories with their two new singles 'Hope Terminator' and 'Condemnesia' in hand.

Keep your gas mask ready, as the radiation spreads across the globe!

Vocals - Sebastian „Grimo“ Grihm
Guitar - Fabrice „Fonzo“ Töpfer
Guitar - Jason „Mathias“ Melidonie
Bass - Vitalis „V.T.“ Kast

Pop Evil share dark new single / video 'Wishful Thinking'

Modern rock powerhouse Pop Evil follow their scorching singles 'What Remains' and 'Deathwalk' with a new, dark track 'Wishful Thinking', along with cinematic music video, via MNRK Heavy

Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/UpLkY4zJoaA

The band comments on the track: "'Wishful Thinking' pushes us into a realm that's deeper, darker, and more intense than ever before."

The six-time RIAA gold-certified band are gearing up for their forthcoming eighth studio album What Remains, which is set for release 21st March, 2025.

For two decades, Pop Evil frontman Leigh Kataky has needed to mine the deepest of reserves in order to drag the band up from the blue-collar grassroots of his local Michigan scene to stand proud at the top of the modern rock game. Soaring successes, bitter defeats… Leigh Kakaty has survived it all.

What Remains is the culmination and story of this journey with Pop Evil, laid bare like never before. Continuing in the recent vein of 2023's acclaimed Skeletons, the new opus is both sonically and thematically Pop Evil's heaviest ever offering; a thundering collection of arena-ready modern rock and metal hits in which Kakaty opens heart, mind, and soul.

"There are a lot of issues and things that I've dealt with in this journey of Pop Evil that I've buried for a long time," the frontman explains of this document of resilience, perseverance, and accountability.

Pop Evil were born in North Muskegon, Michigan in 2001, Kakaty drawing on the lessons of a youth first shaped not by music, but by high school basketball — leadership, team work, the drive to improve in the lonely hours put in at the gym at 5am, the will to win suppressing any fear — in order to fight tooth and nail for their break-out moment.

"I was hustling and learning every day to make my dreams come true," Kakaty recalls of his time playing local bars and slinging early EPs out of the back of his truck. "Studying never interested me. Neither did getting a regular job. A knee injury wrecked my shot at playing sports. Music was all I wanted to do from that moment, and I didn't give myself a backup plan. Pop Evil gave me a purpose, and a reason to get up every day. It became a crusade."

Lipstick on the Mirror, their 2008 debut, and its follow-up, War of Angels, brought acclaim and global attention; 2013's Onyx delivered the first of the band’'s nine No.1 singles and six RIAA-certified gold and platinum plaques, but also a period of darkness brought on by the grief of Kakaty losing his father. "I was completely lost … I had just missed the last five years with my dad, chasing this dream when I could have been with him. I didn’t know if I wanted or could do Pop Evil any more," he says. The band’'s 2017 self-titled album, opened by the smash-hit 'Waking Lions' was written "pretty much to save my life" – but in turn “reminded me of the fire I have inside, and that God put me here to make music that could help people."

It's a mission statement enshrined in Pop Evil to this day — and which provided the spark for the genesis of What Remains.

You're always chasing that one song that can connect with that one person," Kakaty says. "And that process has to start with yourself. There's a lot of personal healing on this record, a lot of things I wanted to get out for my own mental well-being. I'm finally at a place where I can confront my demons."

Sonically, the album is a riotous explosion of life-affirming noise; a vortex of scything riffs and gut-punch drum beats that regularly give way to Pop Evil's hallmark anthemic choruses. 

"We set out to push boundaries” nods Kakaty. "Metal has always been a part of our DNA, but we've never made it such a focal point before. A lot of writing on this record has been about listening to what my soul is saying and letting the songs find their own path, rather than chasing a sound that might fit in on the radio. I think you can really hear the mood and emotion of the album's themes in the music."

"Night-time. A time for calm and tranquillity or a time for fears, deceit and villainousness? When light shifts so does the mind of man. 'I have seen the depths of the dark well. I know the stories it can tell. The allure of danger, strangers and the promises they sell.'
We’re proud to present you with the opening track and one of my personal favourites of the album - 'Call of the Night'. Enjoy and don’t forget to place your pre-order of
Game of Faces, out on February 14!"

Formed in 2008, DYNAZTY have over the years evolved from their humble beginnings rooted in the Scandinavian hard rock scene into becoming a powerhouse and formidable force to be reckoned with, on the top shelf of the modern melodic metal scene.
