Tetrarch recently announced their massive upcoming third album, The Ugly Side Of Me, scheduled for release on May 9, 2025 via Napalm Records. Featuring needle-sharp production co-produced by Dave Otero, Diamond Rowe and Josh Fore, The Ugly Side Of Me boasts unrelenting brutality, catchiness and songwriting mastery.

The track is carefully injected with an intricate guitar solo from newly-minted first female Jackson Guitars signature artist Diamond Rowe, and wrestles with intense lyrical themes of self-doubt and toxic relationship cycles.

Perennially exuberant Northern Irish noiseniks ASH return today with their new single, a suitably vibrant version of the Harry Belafonte's 1961 staple 'Jump In The Line'. Fans will have caught the band playing the song live on their recent tour with The Darkness.
"'Jump In The Line' has been our go to outro music for live shows for the last few years so its no surprise it's buried its way into our subconscious," explain the trio. "We've somehow regurgitated it as a homage to The Ramones and it has classic Ash DNA splashed all over it. Frenetic tempo; check. Infectious hooks; check. Melody to die for; check. Face melting solo; check. And finally Mr. Hamilton's blood curdling scream committed to tape. You betcha! What started as a fun idea in a rehearsal room turned into something too good not to release. Rock Your Body In Time! Oh Yeah! We Believe You!" (continue)
German iconic blackened death metal duo, Mystic Circle, has announced their "Kriegsgotter MMXXV" compilation album for a release on June 6, 2025 via ROAR! A music video for the first single, a cover version of IRON MAIDEN's "Afraid To Shoot Strangers", is streaming now.
But let's go back a quarter of a century to the year 2000: Mystic Circle were at their peak at the time after the release of their third studio epic "Infernal Satanic Verses" and were rightly regarded as Germany's leading black metal band. In the summer after the turn of the millennium, the Ludwigshafen-based band followed up with the 5-track EP "Kriegsgotter II", a compilation of cover versions and new recordings. However, the founding line-up also broke up during this phase and A. Blackwar left the band. Only his return in 2020 and the reunion with vocalist Beelzebub conjured up the spirit of that time again, resulting in the two great new records "Mystic Circle" (2022) and "Erzdamon" (2023), closing the infamous circle (or pentagram?) again.
