SABATON

THE #1 GLOBAL POWER METAL BAND—

RELEASED THEIR MUCH-ANTICIPATED 11th NEW STUDIO ALBUM

‘LEGENDS’

ACCOMPANIED BY LATEST VIDEOS FOR “A TIGER AMONGST DRAGONS” AND “I, EMPEROR”

SABATON (@sabatonofficial) released in October their much-anticipated 11^th studio album LEGENDS. It features the latest single and accompanying video, “A Tiger Among Dragons,” drawing inspiration for the song based on Lü Bu, known as the “Flying General,” and October release “I, Emperor,” based on the complex and controversial Napoleon Bonaparte and is a boardgamer meets Napoleon-themed video

Throughout the album, SABATON—Joakim Brodén (vocals), Pär Sundström (bass), Chris Rörland (guitar), Thobbe Englund (guitar), Hannes Van Dahl (drums)—delve into some of history’s greatest and most loved characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, Julius Caesar, the Knights Templar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi. 

For “A Tiger Among Dragons,” SABATON drew upon inspiration for the song based on Lü Bu, known as the “Flying General,” one of the fiercest warriors in ancient China. During the chaos of the late Han Dynasty, he rose to legendary status with unmatched strength, insane skill with his halberd Sky Piercer and his lightning-fast horse, Red Hare. His duel at Hulao Pass, where he took on the best fighters of the era, sealed his place as a true legend. He’s the kind of larger-than-life character you want to write a song about – brutal battles, epic duels, betrayal and raw power.

“Our song ‘A Tiger Among Dragons’ has a powerful, raw energy to it, but with a more melodic edge,” says frontman Joakim Brodén. “I like to think that it tells Lü Bu’s story with intensity and emotion—it’s epic, but there’s also a sense of drama and depth that really brings the legend to life!”

For “I, Emperor,” the band is setting their sights on the complex and controversial Napoleon Bonaparte, who rose to fame during the French Revolution and became a hero after his Italian campaign. He took power as First Consul, then crowned himself Emperor. Known for his brilliant military tactics, he beat major European powers in battles like Austerlitz and Rivoli. He also reformed laws with the Napoleonic Code, but his ambition caught up with him after a failed invasion of Russia and defeat at Waterloo, and he was exiled.

The accompanying music video is a tribute to one of Sundström’s favorite childhood hobbies, board games. The concept was to create a historical board game replay of the Battle of Waterloo, with the twist being that the band members are the ones deciding the fate of the battle without being aware of it.

FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH

CELEBRATED 20 YEARS WITH “BEST OF – VOLUME 2,”

FOLLOWING THE “BEST OF – VOLUME 1,” THE TWO COLLECTIONS INCLUDE 30 RE-RECORDED HITS AND SIX UNRELEASED LIVE TRACKS 

VOL 2 INCLUDES THE NEW LYRIC VIDEO FOR “COLD (2025 VERSION)” 

Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (@5fdp) is celebrating their 20th anniversary with the release of two definitive greatest hits collections: Best Of – Volume 1 (released in July) and Best Of – Volume 2 (OUT NOW). Both albums feature newly re-recorded versions of 5FDP’s biggest anthems, created in response to the sale of the original song masters—made without the band’s knowledge or opportunity to reclaim them.

Instead of remixing or remastering, 5FDP turned the setback into a positive by fully re-recording fan favorites across two volumes—both as a tribute to the songs and the fans who’ve stood with them over two decades. While honoring the originals and those who helped create them, the band brings renewed intensity to tracks like “Sham Pain,” “Blue On Black,” “Trouble,” and “Burn MF.” Together, the two collections pay respect to the past while reintroducing the music for a new era. Best Of – Volume 2 includes 16 re-recorded classics plus three previously unreleased live versions of “Wash It All Away,” “Wrong Side of Heaven,” and “Jekyll and Hyde”.

Best Of – Volume 2 also includes the 2025 version of COLD, which comes with a very creative lyric video that showcases the sentiment of the song.

FINGER ELEVEN

 RELEASED “THE MOUNTAIN”

FROM HIGHLY ANTICIPATED

FIRST STUDIO ALBUM IN A DECADE

‘LAST NIGHT ON EARTH’

One of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time, multi-platinum band FINGER ELEVEN (@finger_eleven) have always amalgamated their musical influences into their rock mix. They acknowledge that Phil Collins and Genesis were a big melodic influence on LAST NIGHT ON EARTH,

FINGER ELEVEN is propelled by a fresh musical vigor. “As we were making LAST NIGHT ON EARTH, there was this feeling that we were making a big Rock record,” guitarist Rick Jackett recalls. “We had done that early in our career, and then we veered away from it. But it was time to go back and embrace that bigness of the sound. Even the soft songs sound big.”

Although FINGER ELEVEN excel at writing four-minute songs, guitarist James Black feels that the majestic “The Mountain” feels like a 7-minute epic squeezed into that time, with music as epic as the lyrics are. “The setting is a fantastical one. At its core, it’s a song about trying to find the music,” explains frontman Scott Anderson. “The ultimate search is you’re finally at the end of it. When I step back it’s talking about our own journey, but it’s dressed up in a different way. It’s the idea of just trying to find one more cool idea, and hoping it’s not the last one.”

THE RASMUS

RELEASED “BANKSY”

FROM ‘WEIRDO’ ALBUM

Pumped up for a crawl through the city

Hair Joan Jett black so pretty

You’re back

With a lick and a kiss

Painting your lips

Like Banksy’s last graffiti

—“Banksy,” THE RASMUS

 THE RASMUS (@therasmusofficial) have always been a band merging their signature blend of dark atmospheres and anthemic melodies with lyrically relevant songs about the world around them and the misfits they proudly identify with. “Banksy,” is a hard-charging song tips its hat to Banksy, the controversial British street artist and political activist whose stencil graffiti work is found in public spaces. The video directed by the band’s bassist Eero Heinonen and filmed at a recent tour stop in Helsinki, Finland at the legendary venue, Tavastia.

Banksy is one of THE RASMUS’ biggest inspirations, especially his most recent work which has commented on the war in Ukraine as well as environmental issues. “Banksy has been a big favorite of ours for a long time,” says band frontman Lauri Ylönen. “We’ve gone on tour spotting Banksy’s graffiti around the U.K., and I have my own background in graffiti painting. The fans have reacted really well to this song at our shows—it’s a lift-up song in our set. It’s fast and full of energy, which fits the live set extremely well. With seeing the fans’ energy every evening, it gave us the idea that this song deserves a music video. Specifically, a video that shows the audience, the uplifting energy and feel of our live show. This song has became a fan-favorite.”

“I wanted to direct a video for us, with an insanely fast visual tempo, so that too much is happening on the screen all the time,” explains Eero Heinonen. “I believe we achieved that. It’s really cool that it includes street graffiti we’ve seen all over Europe, throughout the ‘Weirdo’ tour.”

EVA UNDER FIRE

ARE BACK AND LOUDER THAN EVER WITH

FIRST NEW MUSIC IN TWO YEARS,

THE RIVETING AND DEMON-CONQUERING

“AWAKENING”

“I told the dark

That I had survived

Demons couldn’t take me

I am awakening”

–“Awakening,” EVA UNDER FIRE

After amassing tens of millions of streams, shaking the charts, touring with bands like From Ashes To New, Asking Alexandria, and Skillet, and performing with 30 Seconds to Mars, all the while earning critical acclaim from Loudwire and New Noise Magazine, EVA UNDER FIRE return with the riveting and demon-conquering “Awakening.”

“Awakening” is a blistering and inspirational anthem from Amanda Lyberg (vocals), Rob Lyberg (lead guitar), Chris Slapnik (rhythm guitar), Ed Gawlik (bass), and Dave Miller II (drums). “The guys and I are stoked about the upcoming album,” proclaims Amanda, whose gutsy vocals spectacularly cut through the raging guitars. “These songs are everything we wanted to write. We made sure it was the most honest version of our story. ‘Awakening’ is an anthem about conquering personal demons.  The rest of the album is what it took to get there. It’s also a story packaged in the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played so I think listeners will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers to the new era!”
