  • Romanian Folkcore DIRTY SHIRT Celebrates 30 Years w/ New Video "FOMO" and 2025 EU Tour Dates

     

    Widely regarded as one of the most original and successful rock bands in Eastern Europe, Romania's Dirty Shirt is celebrating 30 years of creating and performing music with the release of their first single of 2025 "FOMO" accompanied by a music video along with announcing 2025 EU tout dates (listed below).

    "FOMO" is the first single from Dirty Shirt's upcoming seventh album (titled to be revealed at a later date) to follow “Get Your Dose Now!” (2022). Musically, it is a journey through different moments and places, blending various genres: from 80s disco to Balkan music, all built on a metal foundation. It’s a catchy song, with a chorus that sticks in your mind, radiating big positive energy. Lyrically, the song addresses one of the issues of modern society—the fear of missing out (FOMO). This phenomenon has become widespread with the rise of social media, where people constantly compare themselves to others and feel pressured to be part of every trend or experience.

The band's signature style blends modern rock/metal heaviness with the vibrant energy of East-European traditional music, drawing from influences including world music, industrial electro, hardcore, and funk to create a dynamic sound that resonates with audiences globally. With catchy and danceable songs, Dirty Shirt's music appeals to a broader audience beyond just metal fans. Their albums have received widespread acclaim, featured in well-respected magazines such as Metal Hammer (DE, HU), Rock Hard (DE, FR, IT, SLK), Metalsucks (USA), Angry Metal Guy (USA), Hard Rock Mag (FR), Terrorizer (UK), Metalized (DK), and more.

  • STRIKER's "ULTRAPOWER" Nominated For JUNO Award for Metal / Hard Music Album of The Year + EU Tour w/ Unleash The Archers, Seven Kingdoms

     

    Edmonton, AB heavy metal masters STRIKER have been nominated for their third Juno Award for "Metal/Hard Music Album of The Year" for their 2024 album "ULTRAPOWER" released via their indie label Record Breaking Records.

    "Honoured to be among the best of the best of the best along with our fellow JUNO nominees this year for our 3rd consecutive nomination! This means a lot to us, we always give it all and are ready for anything. Tough competition this year, it's a brawl at the pub, but no matter what, we will live to fight another day." adds the band.

    STRIKER has been nominated alongside Anciients, Devin Townsend, Kittie, and Spiritbox.

    2025 - JUNO Awards - METAL/HARD MUSIC ALBUM OF THE YEAR / ALBUM DE MUSIQUE MÉTAL/HARD DE L’ANNÉE

    Anciients - Beyond the Reach of the Sun - Season of Mist / The Orchard
    Devbin Townsend - PowerNerd - InsideOut Music / Sony
    Kittie - Fire - Sumerian / Virgin
    Spiritbox - The Fear of Fear - BMG / Universal
    Striker - ULTRAPOWER - Independent

    Full list of 2025 Nominees and Categories can be found at https://junoawards.ca/2025-juno-awards-nominees/

    STRIKER's latest album "ULTRAPOWER" was produced by Josh Schroeder (Lorna Shore, Tallah, King 810). The seventh full-length from STRIKER follows their Juno Award-winning self-released record "Play to Win" (2018) unleashed on their label Record Breaking Records.

    With the band writing material since 2018, "ULTRAPOWER" is a collection of Striker tinkering and exploring new avenues. From the album's opening track "Circle of Evil", a Malmsteen-esque metal banger about secret societies and the evil dealings behind closed doors to their previously released single "BEST of the BEST of the BEST" serving up some big riffs and hockey arena vocals to "Blood Magic", which might be one of Striker's most progressive songs, taking cues from bands like King Diamond, with its unconventional structure and punctuated guitar solos. From the band delving into their obsession for late 80s AOR and pop rock with "City Calling", an ode to 1987, and bands like Toto and Kenny Loggins with their hook-powered albums. To fans experiencing the band's first attempt at a synth-wave track with "Live To Fight Another Day", this new offering sees Striker making a shredding love letter to the hard-rocking era of guilty pleasures.

    "ULTRAPOWER" was released on February 2nd, 2024, and is available at https://www.striker-metal.com/shop/ (CD, Vinyl, Digital)

  • Ecuador's ANIMA INSIDE New Video "Through The Glass" Off Upcoming Album "Alien"

     

    Ecuadar's Anima Inside, unveils "Through The Glass", a compelling new single accompanied by a striking official music video, further amplifying the song’s intense emotional depth. As one of the most powerful tracks from their upcoming album "Alien", the song showcases the band’s signature blend of modern rock, progressive elements, and rich melodic textures.

    With razor-sharp riffs, a dynamic rhythm section, and soaring vocals, "Through The Glass" takes listeners on a profound journey of perception and self-reflection. The song questions reality—do we truly see what’s on the other side or just a distorted version of the truth? This duality is mirrored in the cinematic music video, which visually brings to life the track’s themes of introspection and uncertainty.

    Renowned for their ability to fuse progressive rock, alternative influences, and Latin musical roots, Anima Inside once again delivers a track that is both immediate and deeply layered. Fans of Muse, Pink Floyd, and Disturbed will find themselves drawn to its evocative storytelling, soaring melodies, and immersive instrumental work.

    With meticulous production and a striking visual narrative, "Through The Glass" is a powerful statement, reinforcing Anima Inside’s status as one of South America’s most compelling rock acts.

  • MARBLE GHOSTS Unleash “Distance Between” A Blistering Anthem For Divided Times Off Sophomore EP "The Greatest Divide" Out April 2025

     

    Marble Ghosts, the Canadian boundary-pushing ensemble known for their distinctive blend of metal, grunge, and punk influences, has announced their highly anticipated second EP “The Greatest Divide” set for release in April 2025. The band comments on the first, explosive single “Distance Between”:

    “From the opening lyric of the EP, “Here we are in the greatest divide”, the songs explore the ever-growing rift between almost every part of modern-day society. From the rich and the shrinking middle class to widening gaps in political and religious ideologies, the EP was inspired by our reality.”

    Musically, the single shows off its punk-metal roots, never relenting from beginning to end. The biting rapid-fire verses meet the band’s characteristic soaring choruses. The band shows off its guitar chops with a blistering solo that perfectly matches the song’s energy. The song crescendos with another feverish solo over top desperate screams.

    The EP and the single are recommended for fans of Alter Bridge, Shinedown, and Saint Asonia.
