Dead Poets Society have shared a music video for their brand new reimagined version of their single "HURT," featuring rock band The Warning. Atom Splitter sent over the following details:
The video, which feels almost voyeuristic and lo-fi, is electrifyingly cinematic, with Dead Poet Society and The Warning performing as though their lives depend upon it. The riffs and dueling vocals crackle throughout. DPS x The Warning perform together - as if they were always meant to. Stick around 'til the end, where full musical mayhem ensues. (continue)

(continue)
UK prog rockers Solstice have shared a video for their track "Life." The song comes from their forthcoming album, "Clann", which will arrive on April 4th.
"As an album title, 'Clann' acknowledges the strong sense of family both within the band and among our supporters. As for the song 'Life', it's the recognition of those bonds as they grow and make whatever time we have left together the greatest gift of all" - Andy Glass (continue)

Take a listen to the new track now - a special bonus listen two days in advance of the album's drop - and see below for insight into the track's inspirations!

(continue)

Chevelle are back with their first new music in four years. Today, the band has dropped the video for the new single "Rabbit Hole (Cowards, Pt. 1)."
It's a gnarly, riffy rager with more hooks than a tackle box and alternately snarling and melodic vocals. Push and pull tension define the song, which leads to thrilling, dissonant breakdown at the end of the song. Put simply, it was worth the wait. (continue)
Mob Rules have shared a music video for their new song "Back To Savage Land". The track comes from their group's forthcoming album "Rise Of The Ruler", which will arrive on August 22, 2025. ALL NOIR sent over the following details:
The follow-up to 2018's successful album "Beast Reborn" (which reached a sensational #37 in the German and #59 in the Swiss album charts) is not only a work brimming with creativity, wit and quality, but also the conceptual continuation of their two early albums "Savage Land" (1999) and "Temple Of Two Suns" (2000), with which MOB RULES laid the foundation for their career. Both albums are linked by an exciting concept story about life in a dystopian, hostile end-time world in which resources are becoming scarce. This is exactly where the band's new offering "Rise Of The Ruler" comes in and keyboardist Jan Christian Halfbrodt (who is responsible for all the lyrics) continues the thread. (continue)
The 45th anniversary of Van Halen's "Women And Children First" album is being celebrated with a Medium Rare episode of the syndicated radio show In The Studio With Redbeard: The Stories Behind History's Greatest Rock Bands.
Redbeard shared this synopsis for the episode: It always seemed that the Van Halen 1980 third album, Women and Children First, suffered from "middle child syndrome". The first and last albums of the original band, the twin pillars of the 1978 debut Van Halen and then 1984, have always garnered so much attention (and deservedly so) that we have tended to ignore Women and Children First and its successor, Fair Warning, as musical flyover states.

Alternative rocker Stonehocker just released his brand new album "Hello Mr. Hyde", and to celebrate we asked him to tell us about the record's title track. Here is the story:
The story behind this song isn't really pleasant, it's not something I love to dwell on; but I decided to release it despite how I felt because I'm convinced it needed to be told. (continue)
