Warrant Shares New Music Video "Demons"
German speed/heavy metal pioneers Warrant return with the new single and video "Demons" — a dark, razor-edged assault where cutting riffs, relentless drums and a searing vocal performance give voice to uncompromising inner conflict. You can check out the video below.
The band describe it as:
"A furious outcry against inner emptiness and mental torment. Torn apart by demons, trapped inside a twisted mind – this song hits hard and shatters any illusion of comfort. No salvation. No angels. Just pain, rage, and one final scream for redemption. A dark anthem for a world in free fall. The song calls out hypocrisy, hatred, and betrayal. It’s the uprising of one against lies and collapse. No peace, no forgiveness — just fire, revenge, and a final attempt to turn the tide before everything goes down."
The new album, "The Speed Of Metal," will be released on October 24th through Massacre Records. More...

Omnivide Drops "Arise" Music Video
Canadian progressive metal band Omnivide return with their most ambitious work to date; the stunning new EP "Arise," out today, 10th October, via Seek & Strike. To mark the release, the band have unveiled an official animated video for the EP’s title track, available to watch below.
Omnivide states: "Our second single, ‘Arise,’ is the concluding track of the EP and it fits that role well, being a longer, more progressive piece. It focuses on the orchestral and melodic sides of our sound while maintaining intensity and technicality throughout. It also features the most clean vocals of any song we’ve done, making it the most emotional track and a fitting conclusion to the record. We chose to feature it as a single because it displays our more progressive and melodic sides, in contrast with ‘Void' that is more brutal and in-your-face." More...
Testament Unveils "High Noon" Music Video
Bay Area thrash metal icons Testament return with their fourteenth studio album, "Para Bellum," which is out today via Nuclear Blast Records. The album stands as both a battle cry and an observation of humanity's uneasy alliance with its own creations. As technology accelerates and disconnection grows, "Para Bellum" sees Testament reflecting the modern chaos through music that’s urgent, sharp, and unflinchingly human.
Testament's newest single, "High Noon," is a Wild West adventure set to music, evoking images of duels and gunslingers. The song offers a nod to the band's acclaimed "The Gathering" period, yet successfully incorporating fresh, contemporary elements, demonstrating the band's forward momentum. Watch the animated video for "High Noon" created by Freakshot Films, below.
Chuck Billy comments; "We are so fired up about the release of 'Para Bellum.' There were a lot of hours spent putting this together. These new songs put me out of my comfort zone as a vocalist but the final result I am very proud of what I accomplished. See you in the pit!" More...
