Wardruna Donate over $14 000 to US indigenous non-profit Firekeeper Alliance

WARDRUNA

Donate over $14 000 to US indigenous non-profit Firekeeper Alliance

Thanks to the overwhelming support of the worldwide Wardruna community

Returning from Fire in the Mountains (FITM), Blackfeet Nation (MT) in the US, Norwegian world music collective Wardruna are donating over $14.000 to Firekeeper Alliance, the non-profit supporting indigenous needs and fighting suicide in Browning, Montana. The funds were raised by the creation and sale of a limited-edition t-shirt, designed by a student in the Blackfeet Nation. Over 500 items were sold, online and at the festival that took place last July.

“It makes us profoundly happy and proud to see that the Wardruna community all over the world responded with a genuine desire to support the Firekeeper Alliance, their cause, purpose and work”, states the band. “True light-work is about daring to name and face the shadows, the dark and the pain. Thank you Firekeeper Alliance for your important work with suicide prevention. It was deeply moving to see the positive ripples of this work at Fire in the Mountains. Keep the fire burning!”

Charlie Speicher, director of Firekeeper Alliance adds: “The connection between FITM, FKA, Wardruna, By Norse and AISAmusic is one of the most powerful relationships I’ve been a part of. This support of our mission and the work we are doing means a lot to us. From the very bottom of our hearts, thank you. This gesture, and everything else you have supported us with, is going to translate directly to creating a safer world here for our loved ones. Please know that your love, support, and generosity has lifted our organization to allow us to help our community in ways we never dreamed would be possible.”

Created by Reb Pollock, as a part of the Heavy Music Symposium for youth in Browning, this design represents resilience, rootedness, and the fire that lives within the Southern Pikunni.

Wardruna and the Norwegian music label By Norse took part in the festival, celebrated ceremony and cultural collaboration with the Blackfeet Nation. Several band members hosted workshops, shared and exchanged stories of their histories with the local community and music fans. “As for many others, our experience is hard to put into words. It was one of those events that changes people and views,” says main composer Einar Selvik.

Wardruna will return to the United States and Canada in September. Find all confirmed tour dates on the official website:

HORROR DOWNUNDER! KIM DRACULA & WEDNESDAY 13 ANNOUNCE AUSTRALIAN TOUR FOR NOVEMBER!

Complicated. Genius. Iconic. There is only one Kim Dracula.

From humble beginnings in our own Apple Isle to recognition as a bona fide international superstar collaborating with the likes of Korn’s Jonathan Davis to Tech N9ne, SeeYouSpaceCowboy and In This Moment; Kim Dracula’s journey is the stuff of legends. Hard work and sacrifice is a given, but at the end it is undisputed talent as a vocalist (with a freakish range), musician, songwriter and the most wicked sense of humour and style that sets KD so far above the fray.

Following the monumental success of the 2023 debut album, A Gradual Decline In Morale, which has amassed well over 60 million streams worldwide, Kim Dracula continues to redefine modern music with an unapologetic fusion of nu-metal, trap, industrial, jazz, and hyperpop.

Kim Dracula’s live shows are a sensory overload, blending theatricality, raw energy, and genre-bending chaos. From wielding chainsaws to emerging from coffins, the performances have solidified a reputation as a must-see artist.

Joining KD for this most triumphant homecoming is the absolute legend, Wednesday 13 who returns on the back of a sold out Australian tour in 2023 celebrating his former band Murderdolls.

The pairing of Kim Dracula and Wednesday 13 is a stroke of evil genius. Fast and dirty, raw, chaotic and macabre. It’s tongue-in-cheek horror done to perfection. Murderdolls and Wednesday 13 defined an entire subculture, Kim Dracula has raised the (wooden) stakes and thrown gasoline on the fire.

TOUR DATES
Friday, Nov 21: Princess Theatre, Brisbane
Saturday, Nov 22: The Metro, Sydney

DON BROCO To Start World Tour In Australia This September!

“It was a sea of lost phones, crowd surfing, circle pits and items of clothing being swung like propellers — and you won’t catch one person complaining. They left everything out there and it felt like we’d all climbed a mountain together. And it was glorious – glorious, glorious carnage!” TheManc.com

“A better live show you will not see anywhere. It was fun, it was heavy, it was energetic, it was everything you want from a show and that’s exactly what Don Broco is all about.”
May The Rock Be With You; May 2023

” where do I even begin with the absolute powerhouse that is Don Broco? From the first riff to the last note, Don Broco is a rollercoaster of energy, emotion, and undeniable talent… a reminder of why Don Broco is revered not just for their studio albums but for the unparalleled magic they weave, live, onstage.” Metal Planet

“There is no such thing as too much fun when it comes to a Don Broco show. They have carved out a unique perch to sit on, where no matter where they set up camp, chaos will follow. They have the pit in total raptures, spinning and swelling with smiles aplenty.” Rock Sound

PROMISES MADE. PROMISES KEPT!
DON BROCO START WORLD TOUR IN AUSTRALIA!

When they were last here, Don Broco promised the fans they would repay their patience with their long absences and the outpouring of love and adulation at their shows, by playing Australia at the beginning of their next world tour, rather than at the end. They are keeping that promise.

They also promised devastated fans in Adelaide and Perth who missed out last time that they would definitely visit on the next tour. They are delivering on that promise too.
Fresh off a blazing set at the 2025 Download Festival in the UK, Don Broco have confirmed they’re back in the studio crafting their soon tpo be released fifth album.

With Australian dates confirmed for September, we will be among the very first in the world to hear some of those new tracks alongside all the bangers and crowd favourites from their meteoric career.

SINSAENUM – Releases Second Single “Last Goodbye” New Album “In Devastation” Out August 8 via EarMusic

SINSAENUM
Releases Second Single “Last Goodbye”
New Album “In Devastation” Out August 8 via EarMusic.
Second Single Including Music Video “Last Goodbye” Out Now!

Extreme metal supergroup Sinsaenum now offers a second taste of their upcoming studio album “In Devastation”, with the release of their crushing new single, “Last Goodbye,”.

Listen To The New Single On All Digital Platforms Here
https://sinsaenum.lnk.to/LASTGOODBYENL

This Album marks the band’s first new material since the tragic passing of legendary drummer Joey Jordison (Slipknot, Murderdolls) in 2021. Both the singles and album serve as a cathartic tribute to Jordison and to guitarist and founder Frédéric Leclercq’s (Kreator, Ex-Dragonforce) late father, whose deaths profoundly shaped the emotional and creative direction of the project.

The new single “Last Goodbye” among other Songs, showcases the band’s musical and emotional evolution, from raw aggression to haunting reflection. Leclercq describes the latter as “the most personal we’ve done”.
“I was devastated, hence the title of this album,” Leclercq explains. “But we knew we had to carry on. This record is our tribute to my father, to Joey, and to anyone who’s ever had to find strength in their darkest moments.”
“In Devastation” is a ten-track tour de force of blackened death metal infused with Sinsaenum’s signature melodic ferocity and experimental edge. Produced and mixed by acclaimed German audio engineer Lasse Lammert, the album explores new sonic territory for the band, blending intricate progressive elements, clean vocals, and even cello—without ever compromising their brutal core.
Joining Leclercq on this latest chapter are returning members Attila Csihar (Mayhem), Sean Zatorsky (Dååth), Stéphane Buriez (Loudblast), and Heimoth (Seth). Stepping in behind the kit is Andre Joyzi, formerly Jordison’s tech and a trusted member of the band’s touring family—chosen not only for his skills, but for the emotional connection he brings to continuing Jordison’s legacy.
Following the critically acclaimed Echoes of “the Tortured” (2016) and Repulsion for “Humanity” (2018), In Devastation cements Sinsaenum’s place at the vanguard of modern metal—a band forged in grief but fueled by defiance.

ABOUT KAISER CHIEFS

On July 18 this year, Kaiser Chiefs will release the 20th anniversary edition of their seminal debut album Employment, Originally released in March 2005, the album landed to wide-spread acclaim and has gone on to become one of the most successful debut albums from a UK band. Peaking at No. 2 on the UK album chart, the record has since spent more than 17 months on the Official Top 40 chart, selling more than 2.1 million copies in the process, and being certified 7 x Platinum status by the British Phonographic Industry. Featuring a host of hit singles including ‘Oh My God’, ‘I Predict A Riot’, ‘Everyday I Love You Less And Less’ and ‘Modern Way’, the album catapulted the band to into the music world’s stratosphere, setting them onto the path of arena mainstays and festival headline status across the world.

“20 years ago, a brand new song by a brand new band was released. ‘I Predict A Riot’ was the start of something really special for some musicians from Leeds,” the band reminisced. “And the album that followed, ‘Employment’, changed our lives and has soundtracked the lives of millions of others since 2005. In 2025 we are saluting 20 years of that album and everyone is invited. Come celebrate the 2000’s, loving everything less & less and stripey blazers taking over the world.”

The Employment re-release includes three brand new expanded ‘China Anniversary’ formats. The 1LP edition is pressed on white vinyl, and includes ‘bonus’ track ‘Take My Temperature’; the 2LP set features 15 additional tracks, including a selection of B-Sides and CD single bonus tracks, plus two previously unreleased songs, exclusive to this format. On the 3CD set, alongside the original album, the band have added 40 tracks, including previously unreleased demo recordings, remixes, radio sessions, and a selection of live tracks that chart their rapid rise from small club dates in Leeds, to festival headline act. The original album has been remastered at Abbey Road Studios, and the bonus material was curated by the band from their own archive.

Formed in Leeds in 2000, Kaiser Chiefs are one of the most exciting and consistently successful bands of their generation. Fronted by the charismatic Ricky Wilson, with Simon Rix on bass, Andrew ‘Whitey’ White on guitar, Nick ‘Peanut’ Baines on keyboards and drummer Vijay Mistry, the band have released eight original studio albums (two of those UK No. 1), had nine Top 40 singles, including the No. 1 ‘Ruby’, received three Brit Awards, an Ivor Novello Album of the Year award for Employment, toured with U2, Foo Fighters and Green Day and sold more than eight million albums worldwide.

MALEVOLENCE Release Music Video For New Single ‘So Help Me God’ + New Album WHERE ONLY THE TRUTH IS SPOKEN Out Now

MALEVOLENCE Release Music Video For New Single ‘So Help Me God’ +
New Album WHERE ONLY THE TRUTH IS SPOKEN Out Now

Fresh from their secret set at last weekend’s DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL, Steel City Kings MALEVOLENCE have released a new single from their massively anticipated new album, ‘Where Only The Truth Is Spoken’, which is out today via MLVLTD in partnership with Nuclear Blast Records.

The video comes in response to a takedown of their previous single ‘Salt The Wound’, which was forcibly removed from Nuclear Blast’s YouTube channel after The National Trust threatened legal action.

“Apparently pretending to play the guitar for a couple of hours on a public path that thousands of tourists walk up every single day is a criminal offence worth pursuing,” said the band in a statement.

“The video is a celebration of where we come from and we’re proud of what we made. Fortunately… Someone has anonymously uploaded a version back to YouTube” they continued.

New single ‘So Help Me God’ sees the band safely performing within the walls of the historic Abbeydale Picture House cinema in Sheffield.

“This song is one of the most personal songs I’ve ever written. This song is a raw exploration of my own resentment, and unresolved anger” comments frontman ALEX TAYLOR.

“For the video, we wanted to match the tone of the song and have a raw performance driven video full of energy and aggression.”

The band surprised revellers at DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL on Sunday, after days of speculation around this year’s secret act. During a stunning set in a packed out AVALANCHE stage, guitarist Konan Hall unveiled his brand new guitar – a one of a kind collaboration between Jackson® Guitars and Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft® (more details below)

About Jackson x Malevolence x World of Warcraft collab:

Jackson® Guitars and Blizzard Entertainment’s World of Warcraft® unveiled a one-of-a-kind collaboration with Konan Hall, guitarist of UK metal titans Malevolence and WoW fan live on stage at Download Festival, 2025.

Malevolence took centre stage for the Secret Set on Avalanche Stage on Sunday afternoon at 2.50pm, where Kon donned a custom Jackson Pro Plus XT Limited Edition Kelly™ KE HT6 Baritone guitar, inspired by Kon’s in-game character —a Dwarf Paladin, named Thraiin. Crafted with meticulous detail and true to the spirit of Azeroth, the guitar merges Jackson’s iconic metal craftsmanship with the rich lore of World of Warcraft. Designed in close collaboration with Kon and World of Warcraft’s creative team, the body features bespoke artwork of Thraiin and the legendary “W” emblem, while the headstock boasts the Jackson logo and the background is inspired by the lands of Azeroth. Additionally, on the back of the guitar sits an Easter egg, inspired by Kon’s favourite weapon type in game, The Battle Axe.

The Pro Plus XT Limited Edition Kelly KE HT6 Baritone model is an extension of the Pro Plus Series. Features include Nyatoh body with three-piece Maple thru-neck construction and graphite reinforced for superior stability, six-string baritone 27”-scale, 12”-16” compound radius ebony fingerboard with cloaked Sharkfins, 24 stainless steel frets, Luminlay side-dots, Seymour Duncan Nazgul and Sentient pickups combine for full-throated power that ranges from great overdrive sustain, distinctive fat and chunky rhythms to smooth lead tones that pack a muscular growl and slice through the densest mix.

“World of Warcraft and music are two of my favourite things’’, said Kon. “Playing with the Jackson guitar on stage will remind me of the hours I spent in the taverns of Azeroth.”

The guitar will make various appearances throughout the year at Malevolence shows. For assets and more details check:

ABOUT MALEVOLENCE

MALEVOLENCE have never waited for permission. From the underground to festival main stages, they’ve built their reputation on sheer force of will, crushing live shows, and an unshakable foundation of heavy riffs and harder work. Now, with their fourth studio album Where Only The Truth Is Spoken, Sheffield’s finest step into a new league.

Recorded in California at Dave Grohl’s legendary Studio 606, the album was tracked through the iconic Neve 8078 console, the same desk that captured game-changing records like Nirvana’s Nevermind, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, and Tom Petty’s Wildflowers. For a band that’s always pushed forward without compromise, it was the perfect setting to carve out a record that represents everything MALEVOLENCE stands for. The album marks a new level of songwriting precision without sacrificing the band’s trademark weight. Working alongside Grammy Award-winning producer Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God, Gojira, Trivium), the result is MALEVOLENCE at their most punishing, urgent, and anthemic.

Lyrically, Where Only The Truth Is Spoken reflects the principles that MALEVOLENCE have lived by since day one—honesty, loyalty, and integrity. These are not just themes woven into the album but values the band holds in their personal and professional lives. This record doesn’t deal in facades or empty gestures; it’s an unfiltered expression of the struggles, victories, and unshakable brotherhood that have carried them this far.

IHLO Return With Their Ambitious Second Album Legacy

Set For Release On 29 August via Kscope

First Single ‘Empire’ Out Now

Five years in the making, Ihlo’s new album Legacy marks a major step forward for the British outfit, capturing their growth from rising newcomers to a confident force in the UK modern prog scene.

Written collaboratively by band members Andy Robison, Phil Monro, and Clark McMenemy, Legacy is a fascinating and worthy successor to 2019’s Union – an acclaimed debut that topped Bandcamp’s Progressive Metal chart and won Ihlo praise across the prog world.

Ihlo have now released ‘Empire’, the first single from the new album.

“Empire was the song that really kickstarted the album writing process and helped guide us towards the finished product. Underneath the deceptively bouncy rhythms and uplifting harmonies, there hides a dark and brooding atmosphere that became integral to the feel of the entire record. This track showcases the shift into a more natural sound for the band, while retaining the attention to detail in every single element, and the modern production quality we love. Our first studio output in 6 years, this track contains a little bit of everything you want in an Ihlo song, and we’re so excited to finally be able to show it off to the world!” – Ihlo

Watch the video, produced by Andy Robison here

Recorded in part at The Arch Studios in Southport – a stunning space housed within a 140-year-old restored church – Legacy benefits from the studio’s breathtaking acoustics, which lend the drums an organic immediacy.

The album presents ten new tracks that drift between shimmering ambience and tightly wound rhythmic propulsion. Where Union hinted at Ihlo’s influences, Legacy speaks in their own voice.

Lyrically, the album casts a wary eye on the near-future – one in which technological advancement feels increasingly hollow, its progress governed by profit rather than purpose.

Ihlo’s New Album Legacy Will Be Released On Dark Green Vinyl 2LP, Black Vinyl 2LP, CD and Digitally.
