WATCH THE EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE OF THE VIDEO FOR THE NEW SINGLE “RAIN“ FROM PINKNOISE ONLY ON OUTBURN.COM Hard rock singer PINKNOISE (aka Kacey Foxx) releases “RAIN” featuring Wind Walkers off their forthcoming EP FLESH AND BONE out April 17th. Built on massive riffs, razor-edged hooks, and powerful vocals, the track confronts the looming cloud of depression head-on.

Cleveland based gothic doom unit FRAYLE released their latest album, Heretics & Lullabies, last fall via Napalm Records to noted acclaim, and are about to kick off their upcoming tour supporting Dogma in the USA!

Germany’s celebrated extreme metal institution Mystic Circle, founded in 1992, has crafted a bewitching new album, Hexenbrand 1486. Mystic Circle represents the shared vision and passion of Beelzebub and A. Blackwar. "We listen to what we’ve done and talk about everything. It’s necessary to discuss the lyrics to get into the right mood. When you start a song, it’s like a sketch for a painting. We work until the songs have all the colors they need.”

INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL VAMPIRE “It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure. Starting in 2009, I was never supposed to be a dual vocalist to scream and sing. I was always a backup singer or backup screamer, so when I took over the helm to do both, it was a giant challenge, and it led me down a path to want to get better at both.“

“I’ve just always been around my scene in Arizona starting [with] the first band we were playing bowling alleys and backyard shows and stuff,” frontman Joe Cotela explains from the back of the DED tour bus. Whether able to be seen from outside the scene or not, DED has been around for the last four years, quietly stitching together the album RESENT.

The most beautiful art is always vulnerable. If there is any band that knows anything about this very concept, it is Louisville’s genre-defying quartet, Greyhaven. Coming into their fourth studio release, Keep It Quiet, opens the door to another level of emotional exploration. “I think we just kind of naturally want to push the sound of the band further and further with every record, you know,” responds vocalist Brent Mills.

Japanese rock band BAND-MAID has unveiled the first details for the BAND-MAID WORLD TOUR 2026. The initial announcement includes the first wave of dates and venues across Japan, Asia, and Europe, alongside plans for North American performances.

The past handful of years has seen the Oxnard, CA quintet take to the road supporting Municipal Waste, Exodus, the Cavalera Conspiracy and Necrot, and Garcia reports nothing but good about the experiences. “I love playing guitar and being in a band is awesome,” he gushes.

“I wake up in the morning and I feel I need to buy canned goods, I think we’re officially under authoritarian rule,” says Chokecherry vocalist E Scarlett Levinson. Fortunately for Scarlett and co-singer Izzie Clark, they have a glorious debut album in ‘Ripe Fruit Rots and Falls’ to at least briefly distract them from the nation’s present scarily toxic state.

Verily, the gentlemen behind Carach Angren, Ardek and Seregor, are insanely gifted. Their talents are all too magnificently displayed on the EP The Cult of Kariba, which reaffirms Carach Angren’s continued originality. As Ardek states, “We do our own thing. I think it’s cool when a band does something different.”
