As the first taste of the album, Centinex unleash a lyric video for the track "Your Religion Dies Tonight," which the band calls "a merciless sonic assault." The song delivers raw death metal brutality fused with the relentless speed and aggression of thrash and punk.

Skull & Crossbones To Release New Album "Time"

German heavy power metal force Skull & Crossbones are set to return this autumn with their new studio album "Time," to be released on November 14, 2025 via Massacre Records. The follow-up to their debut marks a strong step forward in both songwriting and production, delivering powerful, melodic, and timeless heavy metal that blends energy with emotion.

After the soaring first single "Echoes Of Eternity," the band now unleash their brand-new single and video "Labyrinth Of Time." Musically dark and dramatic, the track is accompanied by a poignant statement from the band, describing it as a reflection on “human decay due to dementia.” Heavy riffs and haunting melodies create a song that is both tragic and cathartic, capturing the inevitability of decline through a deeply emotional lens.

"Time" was produced by Skull & Crossbones together with Marc Ayerle, who also handled mixing and mastering at KlangMAnufaktur. Cover artwork was created by Michael Vetter, while additional keyboard arrangements on "Thunderstorm" and "The Ocean’s Call" were provided by vocalist Tobias Hübner.

The record is a journey through powerful riffs, anthemic choruses, and lyrical depth – ranging from the mystical ("Eye Of Wisdom") and the dramatic ("The Price") to the thunderous and uplifting ("Thunderstorm") and even playful, with the pirate-inspired closer ("The Ocean’s Call.")

With "Time," Skull & Crossbones deliver their most mature and focused work to date. Lyrically, the album reflects on the fleeting nature of existence – from stolen hours (“Time Thief”) and human decay (“Labyrinth Of Time”) to rebirth and transcendence (“Eye Of Wisdom”). Musically, the band balance classic heavy/power metal with a modern edge, crafting songs which are as anthemic as they are thought-provoking. More...

Let the cries of the fallen echo, for the darkness is here to reign," comments the band.

Korpiklaani Announces "Heidenfest" 2026 Tour Dates

Finnish folk metal stars Korpiklaani has announced a massive headlining tour of Europe and the UK, dubbed "Heidenfest 2026." Joining them on the trek will be Finntroll, marking the first time the two bands have toured together. Joining them to celebrate this unique event are some of their best friends and drinking partners in Heidevolk and Trollfest. To warm up the evening with all the dancing, drinking, moshing and all round good times are The Dread Crew of Oddwood. Due to prior agreements, Finntroll will miss the first 3 shows, and will be replaced by Moonsorrow.

Korpiklaani's Jonne Järvelä comments:
"I'm more than excited to be touring Europe with such a great group of bands. We've known each other for decades and that's why I might feel a little old. Fortunately, a carefree, joyous, unrestrained, wild, fun, exhilarating, intoxicating, unconventional, extravagant and hilarious tour life is so healthy and refreshing that it keeps us young and fresh. Come along and you'll be surprised by the amazing and crazy nights with us. Fun is guaranteed!"

Finntroll comments:
"This is no ordinary tour — it is a march of madness and glory across Europe!
Our strings are tuned to mischief, and at last we will tour side by side with our friends in Korpiklaani and TrollfesT, strengthened by Heidevolk and Oddwood. This tour brings forth a storm of dark tunes, overflowing ale, and untamed revelry.

"Expect nights where reality bends, ancient spirits stir, and the line between myth and madness disappear. Join the horde, this will be legendary!"

Heidevolk comments:
"Hello fellow heathens! After the crazy successful Paganfest tour earlier this year, we are once again invited to join a legendary tour making its long awaited return: HEIDENFEST!" More...

Lamp Of Murmuur Announces New Album

Two years since the release of "Saturnian Bloodstorm," Lamp Of Murmuur has once again raised the chalice of victory for the masses with a new beckoning of devotion and elegance, titled "The Dreaming Prince In Ecstasy." Gradually ascended these past years as one of the furthermost esteemed and sought luminaries within the new wave of black metal, Lamp Of Murmuur is still a force to be reckoned with.

Where "Saturnian Bloodstorm" raged with untamable fire and "Submission And Slavery" plunged into catharsis and purgatory, this new opus stands as the synergy of both sides of a bloodstained coin.

Triumph and grief, transcendence and torment. Beneath the soundscapes of blackened vigour and madness lies a narrative that reaches beyond dreams, exploring instead the unyielding pursuit of absolute spiritual liberation through sacrifice, manifesting the will of the Seven Spears with a delicate, yet more menacing gesture than in previous efforts, birthing the project’s most adventurous and daring offering yet.
