UPDATED: Monument Of Misanthropy Premiere Video
UPDATE: The new music video was removed "because it violates YouTube's nudity and sexual content policies."
Comments frontman George Wilfinger:
"Honestly, we expected this. While "hate speech" and "radical religious preachers" are treated very loosely, YouTube focuses on extreme metal bands that push artistic boundaries. We will create a censored version and publish it as soon as possible."

Sleep Token Premiere New Single "Damocles"
Alternative metal phenoms Sleep Token have just dropped “Damocles,” the third single from their highly anticipated new album, “Even In Arcadia.” The mysterious, masked collective began streaming the track tonight, following March’s lead single “Emergence” and this month’s earlier release, “Caramel.”
The gold-certified group has been building momentum through an elaborate ARG (alternate reality game) campaign, sparking plenty of fan speculation and buzz ahead of the album’s May 9th release. Their meteoric rise—fueled in part by viral success on TikTok—has quickly made them one of the most talked-about acts in heavy music.
Sleep Token have proven the hype is real, selling out arenas across the UK and Europe. 2024 will be a true proving ground, with the band set to headline this year’s ‘Download Festival’ and launch their first-ever North American arena headlining tour, which has already sold out.
Here’s where you can catch them live this spring and fall: More...
Sleep Token Premiere New Single "Caramel"
Sleep Token have debuted the second single, “Caramel”, from their forthcoming third studio album, Even In Arcadia. True to their enigmatic form, the masked British alt-metal collective continue to blur genre lines with this latest offering, streaming via YouTube and Spotify for you now below.
The album, due out May 9th via RCA Records, will be the band's first full-length release since joining the label. Even In Arcadia follows the meteoric success of 2023’s Take Me Back to Eden.
With momentum still surging from their sold-out arena tours across the UK and Europe, Sleep Token are now set to make their first-ever arena headlining trek across the U.S. this fall (sold out as well): More...

Mystic Festival 2023 - Day Three
The final day of any music festival is a bittersweet one. Just when you start finding your spots and getting into a routine, poof, it’s over. The first band I marked for Mystic’s final day was Djevel, a Norwegian black metal band that’s been around since 2009. It’s very rare that I’ll write something negative about any band, especially their live shows, but I must be honest about Djevel…they are not a good live band. They’re sloppy and they don’t move around much during their shows. I saw them at Inferno Festival in 2018 and I thought they were awkward and boring live to play such a prestigious festival. It’s 5 years later and I thought the same thing again.
Djevel
The next band/musician I saw was Lili Refrain from Rome, Italy. This was one of the artists I picked out to watch only if I could make it work within the scheduling. She was sound checking when I arrived at the Sabbath Stage. There was a table full of guitar effect pedals in front of her along with a floor tom and a guitar set up to her right. A short time later, she adorned the stage with her unique style and opened her set with “Travellers.” It was super impressive to watch her replicate the exact sound from the recorded version of the song. I wish I had more time to watch her whole set, hopefully she’ll be touring soon.
Lili Refrain
One of the bands that Mystic featured during this year’s edition was Voivod. The festival even pressed a limited number of 7” records with a never recorded single entitled “Chaotic Harmony, Mystic Festival Anthem.” They made 3 different colored vinyl versions of it that were limited to 999 copies in total. In addition, they dedicated the art gallery basement space to display the famed and storied artwork of Voivod’s famed drummer and artist, Michael "Away" Langevin. The prints displayed encompassed every era of Voivod’s existence. It was a touching and heartfelt tribute to such an influential band that has “Rrröööaaarrr”ed over 4 decades.
Voivod - Michael "Away" Langevin
When Voivod took to the Shrine Stage, the venue was completely full. The chants for Voivod were probably heard across the Baltic Sea, they were so loud. They kicked their set off with “Killing Technology.” Maybe it was a little bit of a political statement regarding the war happening next door? Only they know. Voivod wasn’t the first band in the past couple of years to make such a statement at Poland’s Mystic Festival. Snake and company played material from nine albums, there aren’t many bands from their era that can do the same anymore. I noticed everyone in the band smiling throughout their set which means they still love their day job and each other. That can’t be said about many bands that have even been around longer than Voivod.
Voivod - Denis "Snake" Bélanger
After the passing of their founding guitarist, Jim Durkin, everyone wondered if Dark Angel would continue with their tour and festival dates they committed to before his passing. Dark Angel has always persevered throughout their existence so it was really no surprise they were going to fulfill those commitments because that’s what Jim Durkin would have wanted.
