CABAL Release Brand New Single ‘Unveiled’ + New Album EVERYTHING ROTS Out On April 11th

During a packed autumn touring schedule of over 30 dates across Europe as part of the Nordic Invasion and Faces of Death tours, CABAL introduced fans to their latest album material. Now, in 2025, the band returns with their powerful new single ‘Unveiled‘, featuring Matthi, frontman of beatdown legends NASTY. The new album Everything Rots will be released on 11th April via Nuclear Blast Records. In spring 2025 CABAL will support CALIBAN on their “Back From Hell Tour“. All dates are listed below.

Singer Andreas Bjulver comments: “If you’ve ever had your trust horribly betrayed this track is for you. This is CABAL at it’s most furious, it’s pure anger distilled into sound and it features none other than Matthi from Nasty, which only adds to the aggression.”

Everything Rots Tracklist

1. Become Nothing

2. Redemption Denied

3. Everything Rots

4. No Peace (ft. Jamie of VISCERA)

5. Hell Hounds

6. Still Cursed (ft. Aaron of TEN56)

7. Unveiled (ft. Matthi of NASTY)

8. Forever Marked

9. End Times

10. Snake Tongues

11. Stuck (ft. Joel of AVIANA)

12. Beneath Blackened Skies (ft. Alan of DISTANT)

CABAL has through the years proved themselves as one of the heaviest and most uncompromising metal acts hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark. The bands sound is visceral and destructive and aims to bring forth absolute chaos by drawing inspiration from everything from crushing death metal, contemporary metallic hardcore and metalcore to unnerving soundscapes and dark electronic music.

Since the release of their first album in 2018 the band toured most of the planet, from Europe and North America to Japan and Australia, as well as renowned festivals like, Roskilde Festival, Copenhell, Summer Slaughter, Brutal Assault and many more, and they have no intention of slowing down. All of the above combined with features from some of the modern metal scenes most prominent names like; Matt Heafy from TRIVIUM, Jamie Hails from POLARIS and Joe Bad from FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY, the band has shown the world that Denmark has something to offer when it comes to bone crushing heaviness.

The band are now gearing up for the release of their 4th studio album; Everything Rots. Everything Rots is the most focused and ferocious CABAL has ever sounded, while still expanding on the sound that fans expect from the band. Ear piercing electronic parts and unsettling soundscapes fuse together with bone-rattling riffs and uncompromising breakdowns to create a sonic attack on the senses that’s sure to please and surprise any fan of extreme heaviness. Just like instrumentals the lyrics are dark and direct as they detail the cyclical nature of depression, addiction and trauma, as they work through and detail deeply scarring life experiences and invite the listeners inside a dark world were everything rots and falls apart again and again and again.

Tracks like ’Still Cursed’ dives into the struggle of dealing with depression and feeling eternally cursed, while the title track is an anthem for the generations born into a world of crushing uncertainty, that feels like it could collapse around them at any time. ’No Peace’ describes the harrowing real life ordeal of finding a dying suicide victim in the streets of Copenhagen, and powerlessly watching the life drains from their eyes. ‘Unveiled’ and ‘Forever Marked’ deals with two sides of the same experience of having an abuser close to you. One describes the intense anger and feeling of betrayal, that comes from finding out that someone you considered family could commit such acts, while the other the feeling of guilt in knowing that this happened so close to you without you catching on to it.

The album will be released through Nuclear Blast in April 2025 and like a rabid hell hound on a chain, this album is foaming at the mouth to be released and unleash the rot upon the world.

The Offspring Sell Out Melbourne Rod Laver Arena Show On SUPERCHARGED Worldwide In ’25 Australia Tour With Simple Plan

Punk rock icons THE OFFSPRING are thrilled to announce the Melbourne show on their SUPERCHARGED Worldwide in ’25 Australia tour with SIMPLE PLAN is sold out. Fans who have missed out can sign up to the official waitlist for further potential show updates.

Tickets are selling fast for remaining shows and won’t last long!

A jam-packed arena spectacular from two of the greats, with both THE OFFSPRING and SIMPLE PLAN set to unleash a mountain of hits from across their storied catalogues on the SUPERCHARGED Worldwide in ’25 Aussie tour in May 2025.

Forming in the mid-80s in Garden Grove, California, THE OFFSPRING ultimately became a cultural juggernaut; a band acknowledged as one of the driving forces behind catapulting punk rock into the mainstream in the 1990s, and also regarded as one of the best-selling acts of all time. From their 1989 self-titled debut album which set the scene for the group’s high-octane wiles and infectious melodies, THE OFFSPRING have since unveiled eleven studio albums, with multiple platinum certifications along the way. The band have repeatedly burned up airwaves across the globe while selling over 40 millions records worldwide and are two time members of the Spotify Billions Club (You’re Gonna Go Far Kid / The Kids Aren’t Alright).

A creative tornado of relentless fun and inventive takes on hardcore, skate and pop punk in their broader punk stratosphere, THE OFFSPRING‘s ability to translate their frenetic energy into a live setting is second to none. Boasting an abundance of hits and deeper fan-favourite cuts throughout their catalogue, spanning the sharpened angst of The Kids Aren’t Alright, the fast-paced and uplifting You’re Gonna Go Far, Kid, the anthemic rawness of Self Esteem or, more recently, the frenetic spark of tracks like Light It Up and Make It All Right, THE OFFSPRING remain at the top of their game decades later, colliding the past, present and future of punk rock into a palatable, memorable and insanely enjoyable adventure that shows zero signs of slowing down.

Between selling over 10 million albums worldwide, taking out multiple awards, dominating MTV in its golden era and also recently spawning their own TikTok viral challenge, multi-platinum Canadian rockers SIMPLE PLAN have remained an indelible part of pop culture for over two decades. Forming in Montreal in 1999, SIMPLE PLAN have retained a rare artist-audience dynamic that has only strengthened over time, with the band also actively releasing new music throughout their 20+ years in existence.

From their debut 2002 full-length, No Pads, No Helmets…Just Balls through to their most recent record, the self-released 2022 album Harder Than It Looks, SIMPLE PLAN‘s legacy continues to affirm as does their show-stopping live performances which has seen them tick off festival sets across the globe, tours with Blink-182, Green Day and Avril Lavigne, and, most recently down under, an entirely sold out eight show run in April that squarely brought the house down night after night with endless energy and good vibes.

With THE OFFSPRING‘s ALWAYS Live intimate one-night-only show in Melbourne selling out in 30 seconds, and SIMPLE PLAN‘s Australian headline run earlier this year entirely sold out, tickets definitely won’t last long for The Offspring: SUPERCHARGED Worldwide in ’25 edition down under. Don’t miss your chance to Come Out and Play in 2025 with these two rock titans under one roof; Supercharge your 2025!

The Used Announce 25 Year Celebration With 3 Albums In 3 Nights Across Australia

FULL ALBUM PLAYTHROUGHS:
SELF-TITLED, IN LOVE AND DEATH & LIES FOR THE LIARS

Rock icons THE USED have announced their Australian 25th Anniversary Tour offering an unforgettable experience for fans, with three nights in each city across Australia featuring a full album playthrough of the music they created that shaped the sound of early 2000s alternative rock. The celebration will highlight their first three albums performed in full: their self-titled record The Used (2002), In Love And Death (2004) andLies For The Liars (2007).

As the band reaches a quarter-century milestone, these records are largely regarded as highly influential, and it is no wonder each of them has been certified either platinum or gold by the RIAA in the US, and sold over 10 million albums worldwide.

The band is eternally grateful for the love and support of their fans throughout the years. Lead singer Bert McCracken, aka robbietheused, is “Overwhelmed! These first three records are what put The Used on the map. I can’t wait to experience the joy in playing all three records from front to back. I know it will be an amazing time. I wouldn’t miss it for the world. Sending love to you all and I hope to see you there!”. Bassist Jepha adds, “We feel extremely lucky and humbled to have been a part of something way bigger than ourselves for the past 25 years. To everyone that has been there from the beginning or is just starting out your adventure with us thank you. Here’s to the next 25!”. Drummer Dan Whitesides shares: “We can’t wait to play all of these songs from the first three albums, they mean so much to us as we know they do to so many people.”

The Australian tour will be kicking off on Wednesday 13 August in Brisbane, before heading to Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide and closing out in Perth on Wednesday 3 September. Each city will be treated to three back-to-back evenings focusing on THE USED‘s formative first three albums, as well as some extra hits, with night one featuring 2022’s self-titled album, The Used, night two featuring 2004’s In Love And Death, and night three featuring 2007’s Lies For The Liars, all played from start to finish at their respective shows in all five cities.

Regarded as one of the most important albums in the post-hardcore scene, THE USED‘s self-titled 2002 album went on to influence a generation of artists, peaked at #63 on the Billboard 200 charts, and debuted at #34 on the ARIA Australian Albums charts. Certified platinum in the US and gold in Australia, The Used has been continually praised since release for its balanced mix of angst and beauty, towering craftsmanship and instrumentation, and a flawless outing from frontman Bert McCracken. An unfaltering landmark outing for THE USED, resoundingly celebrated for its infectious melodics, powerful beauty and emotion, and eclectic merging of punk, acoustic, metal, rock and beyond, The Used spawned iconic singles The Taste of Ink and Buried Myself Alive, while also kickstarting THE USED‘s prolific legacy.

Off the back of an extensive touring schedule following the release of their debut full-length, THE USED returned to the studio with producer John Feldmann to conjure their sophomore studio album, 2004’s In Love And Death. Balancing crunchy riffs with creative dexterity, In Love And Death explanded on the polished yet primal tendenciesintroduced via The Used, and sent THE USED‘s popularity into an entirely new stratosphere; one lined with heart-wrenching anthems, stirring melodics and plenty of spine-tingling heaviness. Across the board, soaring choruses meld with vulnerable lyrics and virtuosic guitar solos, with In Love And Death debuting at #6 on the Billboard 200, and once again reaching platinum and gold certification in the US and Australia respectively, while also igniting significant mainstream global appeal.

Released in 2007, THE USED‘s third studio album, Lies For The Liars, went on to land at #5 on the Billboard 200 chart, debuted at #5 on the ARIA Albums charts, and also become the group’s fastest-selling album in the UK. A high octane collection of cinematic spectacles and captivating arrangements, Lies For The Liars dives head first into guitar-driven rock, balancing levity with sharp production, horror punk and experimental pop injections. With its single Pretty Handsome Awkward tapped to appear on Michael Bay’s 2007 Transformers soundtrack, which itself debuted at #21 on the Billboard 200 charts, Lies For The Liars burgeoned THE USED‘s cultural impact, while also firmly reminding the world why THE USED were and still remain one of the most influential and important bands to emerge in the 2000s.

Next August and September, join THE USED celebrating 25 years of monumental rock down under, with three back-to-back shows per city offering fans the chance to revisit the three albums that started it all!

NECK DEEP ANNOUNCE THE DUMBSTRUCK DUMBF!*K TOUR

NECK DEEP
ANNOUNCE
THE DUMBSTRUCK DUMBF!*K TOUR
APRIL 2025

WITH SPECIAL GUESTS
STATE CHAMPS

SELF TITLED ALBUM
NECK DEEP
OUT NOW ON HOPELESS RECORDS

UK rock band NECK DEEP today announce their return to Australia with The Dumbstruck Dumbf!*k Tour confirmed for April 2025. The boys will kick off the tour on April 21 at Metropolis in Fremantle before heading to Adelaide’s Hindley St Music Hall, Sydney’s Roundhouse, Melbourne’s Festival Hall and concluding at Brisbane’s Fortitude Music Hall.

Neck Deep will be heading around the country promoting their recently released self-titled album “Neck Deep”, out now on Hopeless Records. Joining them for all dates will be special guests, Albany New York pop punk act State Champs. Full tour details below.

In the little over a decade since Neck Deep formed in the Barlow brothers’ spare room in Wrexham, Wales, a lot has changed. From the scrappy, naively hopeful beginnings that define the starting of so many teenage bands, the pop-punks have gone on to be one of British Rock music’s most successful global exports in recent memory: top 5 records in both the US and UK, global touring, viral hits and over a billion streams just some of the fruits of ten years spent mastering their craft.

For the new self-titled record, the band, completed by Ben’s older brother and bassist Seb, guitarists Matt West and Sam Bowden and drummer Matt Powles, took ‘doing their own thing’ – and only their own thing – to the next level. Eschewing a keen list of collaborators and producers eager to work with one of rock’s hottest properties and choosing, instead, to write and record in their own warehouse space, mere miles from where they grew up. Old school, just like it used to be.

From the bouncing bombast of “Dumbstruck, Dumbf*ck” and the ripping intensity of “Sort Yourself Out”, to the poetic introspection of “They Don’t Mean To (But They Do)”, Neck Deep is an album that boasts a song for almost any occasion.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM FOR “NECK DEEP”

“an unabashed joy from start to finish” – Kerrang 4/5

“a relentless cascade of energy and brilliance that asserts Neck Deep’s place at the forefront of contemporary pop-punk” – AU Review 5/5

“Laced with confidence, experience, and an opportunity to present themselves, completely self-made, the album presents Neck Deep at their most vulnerable” – Wall Of Sound 8/10

“in place of immovable nostalgia dragging proceedings down, Neck Deep emerges as a sparkling and invigorating adventure. This is Neck Deep’s future, and we’re all just quite happily along for the ride.” – Hysteria Mag 8/10

Despite their name, State Champs made four albums without a trophy on the cover. In 2024, that triumphant symbol finally appears, on album five, confidently named simply State Champs, out now on Pure Noise Records.

Billboard calls Derek DiScanio, Tyler Szalkowski, Ryan Scott Graham, and Evan Ambrosio “modern-day pop-punk torchbearers,” a reputation cemented by anthems like “Silver Cloud” and “Secrets.”

They’ve delivered their music and heartfelt message of passion and resilience on tour with Fall Out Boy, 5 Seconds Of Summer, blackbear, Simple Plan, A Day To Remember, and Boys Like Girls.

Starting in bedrooms and basements in 2010, State Champs quickly ascended as leaders of a new scene owing as much to early Fall Out Boy and Green Day as latter-day Warped Tour bands.

State Champs surges with the energy of The Finer Things (2013), Around the World and Back (2015), and Living Proof (2018). It expands on the Kings of the New Age (2022) blueprint. That beloved post-pandemic album proved the band will survive. State Champs now sees them thrive.

On State Champs, they cement themselves as an outfit that can and will stand the test of time.

FEEDER Announce April 2025 Australian Tour – Their First in 14 Years

FEEDER Announce April 2025 Australian Tour

“The performance tonight was one of the finest I have EVER seen… truly incredible from first song to last and long may Feeder continue because they are one of the last true great bands from their era… their discography is flawless and their live performance is honest, passionate and enthralling.” – ALT CORNER
