SABATON

THE #1 GLOBAL POWER METAL BAND—

RELEASED THEIR MUCH-ANTICIPATED 11th NEW STUDIO ALBUM

‘LEGENDS’

ACCOMPANIED BY LATEST VIDEO FOR “I, EMPEROR”

BASED ON NAPOLEON

SABATON (@sabatonofficial) released in October their much-anticipated 11^th studio album LEGENDS. It features the latest single and accompanying video, “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 the album’s sixth single, “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 CURRENT SINGLE, “THE END” FT. BABYMETAL MAKES HISTORY AS 1ST SONG INCLUDING JAPANESE LYRICS TO HIT THE ROCK CHARTS AND 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.

YELLOWCARD

BETTER DAYS PRODUCED BY TRAVIS BARKER 

AND THE NEW LYRIC VIDEO FOR 

“YOU BROKE ME TOO” FEAT. AVRIL LAVIGNE 

Alt rock favorites Yellowcard are celebrated the release of their new album in almost a decade Better Days. The lead single and title track “Better Days” brought the band’s return back in a huge way, scoring them their first ever number one on alternative radio, twenty two years after their first radio appearance ending the longest wait for a first leader at the format. This highly anticipated album is executive produced by Travis Barker who also plays drums on every song.

The latest lyric video from the album for the song called You Broke Me Too featuring Avril Lavigne.  Of the song Lavigne says, “My friend Travis Barker called me up to say he was producing the new Yellowcard album and I really liked what I heard. When he played me You Broke Me Too I liked how it can be an anthem people can relate to when finding hope after a relationship.”

Lead singer Ryan Key was thrilled to have Lavigne be part of this album and this single.  He says of the collaboration “As with so many unbelievable things happening for the band these days, having Avril Lavigne be part of our new music is incredible. Her vocal performance combined with the classic Yellowcard feel of this song is truly a sonic time machine.”

NOTHING MORE

RELEASED THEIR INTERPRETATION OF

NINE INCH NAILS’ “WE’RE IN THIS TOGETHER” AND A LIVE VIDEO FOR THEIR TRACK “STUCK” FROM GRASPOP METAL MEETING

In October NOTHING MORE (@nothingmoremusic) released two new music pieces with one bring their interpretation of “We’re in This Together” by Nine Inch Nails. It’s a song that has always held great meaning for the boundary-pushing alternative metal band—Jonny Hawkins (vocals), Mark Vollelunga (guitar), Daniel Oliver (bass), and Ben Anderson (drums)—and one they in fact started recording 11 years ago before being sidetracked by creating their own music.

“‘We’re in This Together’ sounds like a love song colliding with a war cry,” says frontman Jonny Hawkins. “Alan Watts [the British American writer and orator] once said that ‘you are the universe experiencing itself’—and this song embodies that truth. It’s us against the world, and this song is my inner monologue.”

The band’s guitarist Mark Vollelunga elaborates. “This song is from my favorite Nine Inch Nails’ album, The Fragile, and by far one of my favorite NIN songs. It’s such a beautiful cataclysm. Essentially, it’s a love song, but as I dove deeper, my interpretation shifted to it being about my relationship to my personal demons and mental trauma. It’s about making peace with those monsters and accepting who and what they are while realizing they will always be a part of me,” he adds. “It took a long time to achieve that cathartic clarity in regard to the very real nature of that evil’s presence. We actually started recording the song 11 years ago, and it’s just been lying in wait until recently. I was upset we hadn’t released it earlier, but I now believe its relevance and timing couldn’t be more immaculate.”

THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS

RELEASED THEIR 

SIXTH STUDIO ALBUM

‘X’S FOR EYES’

WITH NEW SINGLE “PERFECTION” 

 THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS (@redjumpsuitapparatus) released their sixth album X’s For Eyes along with their latest video, “Perfection.” Against an intense driving rhythm and a big, urgent melody, lead vocalist, guitarist, and founding member Ronnie Winter candidly lays his cards on the table, singing “I like stormy weather” and that “Whatever won’t break can make us” with his signature wide-ranging voice.

Winter points out that “Perfection” is “a song about perfect imperfections, about embracing one’s flaws and the true beauty that lies within. It’s a song about individuality, self-acceptance, and the idea that our scars and imperfections make us who we are. Through the lens of perfectly imperfect, what some might consider to be mistakes, flaws, and shortcomings suddenly become good, beautiful, even desirable. It’s a reminder,” he adds, “that being perfectly imperfect is something not to hide but to celebrate.”

X’s For Eyes marks the first full-length album from THE RED JUMPSUIT APPARATUS—vocalist Ronnie Winter, his multi-instrumentalist brother Randy Winter, guitarist Josh Burke, bassist Joey Westwood, drummer John Espy, keyboardist Nadeem Salam, and newest member K Enagonio on vocals. “I think that anybody who’s been with us the whole time realizes that we’ve been an activist band since 2006,” Wintersays. “So when I see X’s for eyes, it reminds me of the childhood cartoons, the video games—all those things where this is what happens when you don’t do the right thing. You see that character that you know and love, but for three seconds with a bunch of swirling birds over their head and they’ve got X’s for eyes because they made a mistake. They trusted the wrong person, they went in the wrong direction, they chose the wrong path and then POW! Something crazy happens and there’s X’s for eyes, or ‘RIP.’ And I just find that has a parallel reality to now.”

CORY MARKS

GOES DOWN TO THE “WHISKEY RIVER”

FOR HIS LATEST SINGLE

 FEATURED ON HIS NEW ALBUM

‘SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2’

Hard-hitting country rocker CORY MARKS (@corymarksmusic) released his fourth album SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 and its anthemic third single, “Whiskey River,” The release of SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 comes as MARKS’ debut breakout 2019 hit “Outlaws & Outsiders” (featuring Ivan Moody, Mick Mars, and Travis Tritt) has officially been certified Gold by the RIAA in the U.S., marking his first-ever certification in the States.

The singer and songwriter describes “Whiskey River,” the follow-up to the album’s second single “Hangman,” as “a rowdy, honky tonk feel-good country anthem made for late nights and good times. With twangy guitars, stomping drums, and a barroom sing-along chorus, it’s the soundtrack to letting loose after a long week.

“The song,” MARKS continues, “follows a character who is just a good timing simple man…who’s had one to many late nights according to his partner and when times get rough or she’s had enough. He runs to his favorite small-town watering hole, where the whiskey flows like a river and worries get washed away. It’s about freedom, fun, and the kind of night you’ll never forget—if you can remember it.”

SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 is an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 10 new songs, equally divided between arena-rock and roots country. Produced by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Shania Twain), Kile Odell (NOTHING MORE, Nita Strauss) and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), MARKS’ SORRY FOR NOTHING / SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 era are welcome signs of unity in a world of divisiveness.

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.

THE RASMUS

TEAMED UP WITH THEORY OF A DEADMAN’S

TYLER CONNOLLY FOR NEW VERSION OF

“CREATURES OF CHAOS”

FROM THE RASMUS’ ‘WEIRDO’ ALBUM

 THE RASMUS (@therasmusofficial) teamed up with Theory of A Deadman’s lead singer Tyler Connolly and released an exciting new version of THE RASMUS’ powerful outsider anthem “Creatures of Chaos.”

”Tyler [Connolly] is an amazing singer and he added a new dimension to the song,” says frontman Lauri Ylönen. “This song is one of our best from the new album and it’s so cool that it gets some spotlight now.”

Tyler Connolly shares: “I got asked to guest sing on this Rasmus song and once I heard it, I was like, ‘Heck Yeah’!  Loved the track and love the band! Really enjoyed the back-and-forth verses between us, and it truly rocks! Now I got to get myself to Finland!!!”

Lauri explains that “Creatures of Chaos” is a “global shout out and an invitation to all misfits and anyone out there who’s ever felt like an outsider to join us! It was one of the first songs, and that’s kind of how the album title came about.  It’s also about accepting people as they are, which in this world is getting much harder for people to do. For me, it’s more personal: I sing like I could have been a soldier, but I’m afraid of guns. I could have been this or that, but I wasn’t strong enough to be those. My job is to do this. And I’m singing to one fan in the front row, giving her or him strength to carry on. It’s another kind of hero.”

“Creatures of Chaos” is “also about the pressure of social media,” elaborates Lauri. “People feel like by 25 they need to have money, investments, be somebody. A lot of people are scared of growing up. I’ve always gained strength from being the underdog, and I love that. It keeps me going.”

It will be available as a CD/Blu-ray combo and on vinyl in their signature green and purple. The live album will feature a live version and live video of their breakout single “Voodoo Doll.”

“‘Voodoo Doll’ is about the pain of watching someone you love disappear into addiction, that helplessness of trying to save them when they don’t want to be saved,” says frontman Lee Jennings. “Performing it live at the first Suffocate City Town Hall hit differently; you could feel every word echo back from the crowd. This live video that’s taken from our Blu-ray captures that raw emotion exactly how it felt that night.”
