Poised to be one of the most highly-anticipated metal comebacks in years, the band’s eighth full-length studio album, Through Storms Ahead, will drop on November 15, 2024 via Napalm Records. Following their 2019 album, Shaped By Fire, which Loudwire named one of the best albums of that year, the new album is an evolution of newly explored elements that further bolster the proven line-up of vocalist Tim Lambesis and guitarist Phil Sgrosso alongside recent newcomers Ryan Neff (bass, clean vocals), Nick Pierce (drums) and Ken Susi (guitar).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA melancholic guitar-driven introduction track blasts into a deft explosion on first song “A Broken Reflection”, showcasing the masterful melding of skills that the new incarnation of AS I LAY DYING brings to the table. The clean vocals of bassist Ryan Neff absolutely soar throughout, fortifying the high-end of the track’s multi-layered attack of searing, heart-wrenching guitar harmonics, driving bass, pummeling drums and the furious low-end gutturals of iconic frontman Tim Lambesis. Streamed over a million times within days of its initial release, first single “Burden” annihilates with instantly gripping energy, charging in with an intensely catchy chorus, multiple breakdowns and ingenious guitar soloing from Phil Sgrosso. Unrelenting metal burner “We Are The Dead”, featuring the gut-punching vocal talents of guest singers Alex Terrible (Slaughter to Prevail) and Tom Barber (Chelsea Grin, Darko), provides a prime example of the album’s crystal clear, punishingly precise production quality - proving the keen attention to detail and exploration exacted throughout Through Storms Ahead. The track satiates with a menacing soundscape of synths and choirs, accenting an onslaught of brutality, breakdowns, grooves and growls. “Whitewashed Tomb” bleeds in with a cinematic underscore before its potent vocal lines, hair-raising, rhythmic guitar leads and ominous, reverberating electronic atmosphere takes over. Melodic “The Void Within” and “Taken From Nothing” evoke classic AS I LAY DYING style blended with modernized metalcore passages, while tracks such as “Strength to Survive” and “Gears That Never Stop” showcase the vital songwriting prowess of the band in 2024. Blending metallic battery with dominant accessibility, the tracks further attest that Through Storms Ahead won’t pause for a single moment of mediocrity. Title track “Through Storms Ahead” bludgeons with intense drums and an earworm chorus, while acclaimed second single “The Cave We Fear To Enter”, which features an introspective lyrical concept formed by both Tim Lambesis and Ryan Neff, begins pensively before charging into an emotive melodic metalcore opus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFeaturing immense, stunning production by guitarist Phil Sgrosso and Hiram Hernandez, mixing by Aaron Chaparian, mastering by Ted Jensen and album art once again created by Corey Meyers, Through Storms Ahead proves that good things come to those who wait. Tim Lambesis, Phil Sgrosso \u0026amp; Co. have created a metalcore masterpiece for the modern scene, solidifying that AS I LAY DYING are continuing to evolve and expand their trademark sound in a new era.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53352115077463,"sku":"P-159531-","price":14.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/As-I-Lay-Dying-Through-Storms-Ahead-CD-DIGISLEEVE-159531-1-1727851685.jpg?v=1778252275"},{"product_id":"delain-interlude-cd-dvd-digipak","title":"Delain - Interlude - CD + DVD Digipak","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpecial Album feat. new songs, covers, live tracks \u0026amp; free bonus DVD including live tracks from MFVF 2012, videos \u0026amp; specials\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Season of Mist - International","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53352124121431,"sku":"P-34540-","price":15.49,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/6500\/8471\/files\/Delain-Interlude-CD-DVD-Digipak-34540-1-1364307799.jpg?v=1776677598"},{"product_id":"delain-lunar-prelude-cd-ep-digipak","title":"Delain - Lunar Prelude - CD EP DIGIPAK","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Delain's new EP 'Lunar Prelude' arrives as we eagerly await their upcoming full-length album.

Once again finalized by leading metal producer Andy Sneap (Judas Priest, Amon Amarth, Testament, Saxon, etc.) at his Backstage Recording Studios Ltd. in Derbyshire, UK, Humanoid is a towering musical achievement and another world class entry in the ACCEPT catalog, certain to rally fans from around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumanoid joins absolute genre classics like Balls To The Wall, certified Gold in USA and Canada, Metal Heart, and newer masterpieces like Blood of the Nations or the #1 album Blind Rage. Their albums regularly place in national Top 10 sales charts, with global sales in excess of 17 million to date.\u003cbr\u003eACCEPT have never shied away from hot button issues, and this album is no exception. Yet the band’s 17th studio album is certainly not a concept album. It deals with topics like AI and how our reliance on technology is gradually stripping away our individuality. ACCEPT offers a warning in this new album and title track single Humanoid. Since singer Mark Tornillo will never be an advocate for the digital age, he counterbalances the title track with raw emotions, frailties, significant Rites of Passage we encounter on the path of life and characteristics that make us uniquely human: feeling uncomfortable, getting older, dealing with hurt, disappointment, and the final stop for everyone: death. \t\u003cbr\u003eHumanoid is a ferociously electrifying, dynamic and subtly nuanced platter with tongue in cheek humor, biblical references in “The Reckoning” – an ode to concert audiences – a thrilling new spin on the “Frankenstein” story and “Straight Up Jack” – a track that surely would have been a Bon Scott approved drinking song.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe opening track “Diving into Sin” gives listeners a hair-raising energetic jolt with its Middle Eastern influenced intro, and an almost aggressive, screaming vocal from Tornillo setting the rest of the album up for a most bountiful feast. \"Unbreakable\" is as much about the band as it is the bond between ACCEPT and their fans, in the concert arena – an easy going “Hey, let’s do this, ‘kind of rock song.” \"Mind Games\", on the other hand, has a vintage feel, circa “Metal Heart”. \"No One Gets Out Alive\" seems tailor made for live shows. It says that regardless of life's circumstances, rich, famous, or not, death is the great equalizer. The good ole’ drinking song, \"Straight Up Jack\" utilizes many euphemisms for ordering at the bar. Upbeat and aggressive with guitar interplay, \"Southside Of Hell\" ends the disc with a wonderful bit of wordplay, courtesy of Tornillo.\t\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHumanoid is an album that targets the head, heart, gut and... balls!

With ferocious talent and a groundbreaking sound, ARCTIS draws inspiration from the mythical winters and mystical summers of the North, navigating their futuristic battleship through a treacherous ocean where metal crashes with reefs of rock and pop, resulting in a sonic assault of epic proportions. Produced by multi-platinum, award-winning Jimmy Westerlund (Sturm und Drang), mixed by Stefan Glaumann (Rammstein), and mastered by two-time Grammy-nominated Svante Forsbäck (Rammstein), their self-titled album promises to be a breath of fresh air in the metal scene.

Led by the enigmatic Alva, the eternal Ice Queen Rebel Leader who shines with an ethereal presence, the band is rounded out by the formidable Björn the Captain, Michael the Magician, Mats the Rambler and Mika the Sage. ARCTIS creates a dynamic and captivating energy and elevates to new heights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing inspiration on northern themes as metaphors, Arctis explores mental struggles and the internal battles within modern chaos. The strong opener, “I’ll Give You Hell”, delves into the complexities of romance, highlighting the inevitable downfall that arises from a relationship, where honesty and commitment are lacking. With its original version already amassing 5 million streams to date, Finnish modern metal act ARCTIS is set to add to the song's impressive reception with the release of their own rendition of “Bimbo (Lambretta Cover)”! With a 2000s pop-rock vibe, “Remedy” addresses drug addiction and the steep price one is willing to pay for it. The mystical “Tell Me Why” paints a starry landscape of anger and self-deception while the enchanting “Frozen Swan” showcases personal musical talent while exploring the concept of self-freedom. This smoothly transitions into the upbeat “Fire”, which explores the risks of drug consumption, before flowing seamlessly into “When The Lights Go Out” lyrically exploring nocturnal metaphors through vivid passages.

With founding guitarist Prika Amaral established as their new singer with their previous record, Jailbreak (2023), they tear through the scene with the force of a sledgehammer.

On their new studio album Armageddon, set for release on July 4, 2025 via Napalm Records, the five warriors have once again taken up their weapons to bring the legends of their past to life with mighty power metal anthems. Each of them carries the memories of great battles within, and now, the time has come to unleash these stories upon the world alongside the indomitable sorceress Morgana le Fay.\u003cbr\u003eSince their formation in 2018, WARKINGS have cemented their place in the power metal scene. They have conquered festival stages, played alongside legends like Powerwolf, Hammerfall, and Subway To Sally, and built a devoted fanbase that has chanted their anthems at Europe’s biggest stages, including Wacken Open Air.\u003cbr\u003eThe band's fifth album, Armageddon, is a journey through some of history’s most pivotal conquests—moments where warriors stood firm, empires crumbled, and the world was forever changed. The title track, \"\"Armageddon\"\", tells the tale of the Viking raid on the Lindisfarne monastery in 793. The English coast was left defenseless against the invading hordes, who burned, plundered, and spared no one in their path. To the monks, it felt like the end of the world—a merciless punishment from God. This brutal moment in history is brought to life through a thunderous storm of sound that immerses listeners in the terror of the doomed monastery. \"\"Genghis Khan\"\" recounts the Mongol ruler’s unstoppable warriors, who conquered vast lands with astonishing speed and precision. They saw themselves not as mere invaders, but as great warriors, bound by loyalty and discipline, unwavering in their leader’s vision as they fearlessly charged into battle. To bring this saga to life, WARKINGS join forces with their allies Orden Ogan, whose combined energy transforms the song into an unstoppable anthem—sweeping across the land like the Mongol hordes, leaving nothing but devastation in its wake.\u003cbr\u003eBut not all warriors were rewarded with glory. \"\"Hangman’s Night\"\" tells the tragic story of Friday, October 13, 1307, when King Philip IV of France ordered the arrest of the Knights Templar. Once mighty warriors of the Holy Land, they were now branded as heretics and traitors. Imprisoned and awaiting their execution, some clung to hope for rescue, while others prepared for their final battle—determined to never renounce their faith. With eerie melodies and driving rhythms, Dominum’s Dr. Dead and his undead army amplify the haunting atmosphere of the dungeons, capturing the despair and defiance of the doomed Templars. The album reaches its climactic conclusion with \"\"Kings of Ragnarök\"\", a song that depicts the ultimate battle of Norse mythology. Gods and monsters clash in a final, cataclysmic war before the world is consumed by chaos. Yet this song is more than a retelling of ancient myths—it unites the WARKINGS fan community, calling them to stand as warriors in the face of the apocalypse, ready for the final battle when the Midgard Serpent rises and the Fenris Wolf howls.\u003cbr\u003eWith Armageddon, WARKINGS prove that history is not only written by rulers and conquerors—it is shaped by those who fought in their name. This album offers a glimpse into the experiences of those who stood at the brink of their own end—their personal Ragnarök, their own Armageddon.

While previous releases like The Blind Leading the Blind (2018) and Where Fear and Weapons Meet (2021) centered on the futility and finality of war, Viribus Unitis explores the human bonds forged under fire and the strength of those who returned: broken, changed, yet still alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMusically, 1914 remain true to their identity – brutal mixture of blackened death metal, slow-burning doom, and ambient war soundscapes.

And rightly so: Not only will it be the first album as a six-piece band, but it also marks the beginning of an entire album trilogy, set to be released in multiple editions, including, of course, strictly limited collector's items.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach volume contains 11 songs, totaling 33 tracks that not only conclude the delightfully eccentric chapter of Blood \u0026amp; Glitter but also initiate an uncompromising return to the dark core of the band. While LORD OF THE LOST previously found themselves in the spotlight of vast open stages, OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, set for release on August 8, 2025, via Napalm Records, represents a confident descent into previously untouched emotional depths. That this is not only a musically exciting step but also a bold one becomes clear when looking at LORD OF THE LOST's immediate past: support for IRON MAIDEN on two European tours, followed by their first North American shows in over a decade, sold-out headlining tours, participation in the final of the EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2023, a #1 chart entry with the previous album Blood \u0026amp; Glitter, celebrated performances at the biggest festivals worldwide – they even had the honour of meeting King Charles in person.

Sharon den Adel’s crystal-clear voice forms the perfect Yang to Chris Harms' deep Timbre-Yin. The Dark A Cappella ensemble STIMMGEWALT lends a ghostly atmosphere to the theatrical “Moonstruck”, while Whiplasher Bernadotte (DEATHSTARS) transforms “Damage” into an industrial inferno with his unmistakable voice. Anna Maria Rose (TALES OF TIME) adds a fragile, ethereal touch to “The Sadness in Everything”, and cellist extraordinaire Tina Guo, known for her live performances with Hans Zimmer, enhances the delicate intensity of “Ghosts” with her unique cello playing.

Aptly titled, “The Jackhammer” hits listeners over the head with a flurry of snare blasts and barrage of airtight thrash and slam inspired riffage. “Through A Glass, Darkly” indulges in deliciously gothic chord work and melodic leads embellishing Kevill’s already hellish vocal fry. “Strike From The Sky” is trademark thrash excellence quickly followed by the atmospheric, true cult epic “Cage Of Air”, with its tensely ornate dueling guitars on full display.

The hook soars until crash-landing back into the embrace of the core riff as Myles warns, “Remember rage is blind.” Elsewhere, upbeat riffing volleys across a propulsive drumbeat on “Playing Aces.” The momentum crescendos towards a chantable chorus, “And if I risk it all, I hope you’ll understand that I had to play my hand…Bad luck, be damned!” Meanwhile, “Scales Are Falling” opens with classically-inspired clean guitar, giving way to tense and anxious picking. Myles sets the scene, “This is a tale so dark and dim,” and a hypnotic harmony transfixes above an unpredictable rhythm. “Trust In Me” shows Myles and Mark sharing vocal duties as Myles handles the verse while Mark takes the chorus.

Demonstrating just how much the future is really theirs to take, “Gravity” adds Tommy Johansson’s (Majestica, Ex-Sabaton) powerful voice to an 80’s inspired sound, taking Year Of The Snake up another level. “Diamond In The Rough” is an understatement compared to the blues-y strength this song possesses, while previously released “Live And Let Go” with its catchy rhythm is undeniable radio hit material – a style this band wields extraordinarily well. “Clout Chaser” and “Hot Bait” come in uplifting, before THE GEMS delve into “Forgive And Forget”, a ballad in which Guernica’s voice comes across especially strong. “Go Along To Get Along” again illustrates the Swedish fireballs breaking the chains of their past and emerging stronger from it – as proven by speedy “Math Ain’t Mathing”, mighty “Firebird”, and “Stars” with its virtuoso guitar solo.

When conjuring the concept of Blood \u0026amp; Glitter, the band was inspired by the eponymous work of legendary music photographer Mick Rock, known for taking a large majority of the most famous photos of musicians in the 70s glam rock era.

The album ends with \"One Last Song”, about which Chris Harms says, \"I was wondering what song I would want to sing last before I die and realized that song didn't exist yet. So here it is.

Its swaggering fretwork alternately wallops and gallops in lockstep with a pummeling rhythm anchored by thunderous drums. The riff rolls and seethes, and the vocals swing from guttural growls into the embrace of a jazz-y chantable chorus. A hummable lead ties the bridge together. Echoes of a tensely picked single-note set the tone for “Threshold.” Lajon’s delicate delivery gives way to a contentious distortion-boosted refrain. Then, there’s “Unbreakable,” which has all the makings of a clarion call for the collective and a future live staple. Strains of soft piano slip into the undertow of a towering hook punctuated by a promise, “We were meant to be unbreakable… even when we’re at our lowest lows.

Along the way, they’ve shined as an outlier equally comfortable on tracks with either members of Deftones, Creed, and Periphery or Xzibit and Daughtry.
