Italian all-female metal band HELLFOX have unveiled the brand new official video for “Water On The Ceiling”, one of the standout tracks from their latest album "The Spectrum Of Human Gravity", released last June 6th, 2025 via Rockshots Records.
A song born from the suffocating sensation of insomnia, “Water On The Ceiling” captures the eerie stillness of endless nights when eyes remain wide open as reality blurs into a waking dream. The track blends haunting melodies, distorted synths and Hellfox’s trademark dual female vocals to convey the claustrophobic feeling of staring at a ceiling that turns into water—suffocating, oppressive and inescapable.
The video adds a new visual dimension to the song’s atmosphere, portraying the emotional weight of sleeplessness and the surreal imagery that inspired the lyrics. It represents yet another chapter in the band’s journey of exploring the depths of human emotion through music and imagery.
"The Spectrum Of Human Gravity" has already gained recognition for its unique fusion of Nordic melodic death metal roots, pop-inspired clean vocals, and modern electronic textures. With singles like “Seaweed Braids” and “Atlas”, Hellfox set the stage for an album that confronts loneliness, mental struggles, and the search for identity without resorting to clichés. “Water On The Ceiling” continues this narrative, offering a vivid metaphor for psychological weight and restless nights.
Recorded at Eden Studio by Alessio Lucatti and mixed/mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio, the album showcases the band’s fearless approach to songwriting and their growth since their 2022 debut.
For fans of Amorphis, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity, Hellfox’s new video is not just a performance but a visceral dive into the emotions that define "The Spectrum Of Human Gravity".

Canada’s undisputed Thrash Metal Gods Triskelyon return with their long-awaited 4th full-length, “Maelstrom of Chaos”, a relentless storm of speed, fury, and precision due out on November 28th, via Moribund Records.
Formed in 2021 by guitarist Geoff Waye of the acclaimed True Metal band Category VI, Triskelyon came roaring out of the gate with their self-titled EP and landed a deal with Moribund Records for their chart-crushing debut, “Downfall” (2022). They followed with the bone-splitting “Artificial Insanity” (2023), dominating radio for six weeks, followed by the apocalyptic “Shattered Elysium” (2024). Each release bigger, faster, heavier… and now comes the ultimate Thrash onslaught “Maelstrom of Chaos”.
For “Maelstrom of Chaos,” mastermind Geoff Waye once again summons an all-star cast of metal warriors from the Canadian scene and from the global scene. Enlisting the vocal talents of guests Liv Jagrell (Liv Sin), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), James Delbridge (Lycanthro), Carolina Padrón (Tribus, Bloodrain), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), and Pete Healey (Marshall Law, Ex Oberon), this album reigns as a true Thrash Metal masterpiece. On drums, the thunder is split between Raul Marques (Burning Torment) and Nicole Trinchero (Chaos Rising, Acroma), while bass devastation comes courtesy of Dwayne Pike (Afterforever), Rick White (Within the Realm, Exorcist), and Darrin Pope.
In true Triskelyon fashion, expect more than Thrash - this is a molten fusion of Thrash, Speed, Power, Death-Thrash, and Traditional Metal. Wild and impressive, explosive riffs, razor-sharp solos, and skull-crushing rhythms resurrect the glory of the ‘80s while forging it into something bigger, louder, and deadlier for today.
In keeping with Triskelyon's tradition of closing their albums with an iconic cover, this release delivers the heaviest Metal rendition of Peter Schilling's mega-hit “Major Tom” that the world will ever hear!
“Maelstrom of Chaos” is not just an album - it’s a Thrash Metal supernova. Brace yourself.

Canadian modern metal band Juliet Ruin returns with their most vulnerable and sonically ambitious release to date: the five-track EP "Regime," their fourth studio offering, available this October 24th, 2025. Leading the charge is the haunting first single “Poems By a Poltergeist,” accompanied by a gripping lyric video (created by vocalist Jess Felming) that dives deep into themes of depersonalization, mental health, and emotional isolation. “This song came straight from the pages of Jess’ journal. It’s about feeling like a ghost in your own life, angry, disconnected, and searching for meaning,” the band shares. Formed in 2015, Edmonton, AB's Juliet Ruin has evolved into a genre-fluid powerhouse known for its chunky, groovy, pretty, powerful, and catchy sound. With influences ranging from Spiritbox and Jinjer to Alexisonfire, the band blends metalcore, pop, and progressive elements into a style that’s both emotionally raw and technically sharp. "Regime" is a sonic double-edged sword, balancing pop-infused vulnerability with bone-crushing breakdowns and the heaviest subject matter the band has ever tackled. From the introspective "Chrysalis" to the socially charged title track "Regime," each song is a collaborative effort shaped by personal experience and collective passion. “We wanted this EP to feel empowering but also understanding,” says vocalist Jess, whose scream vocals, honed during the COVID lockdown through YouTube tutorials and lucid dreaming, now anchor the band’s evolving sound. The album artwork, created by longtime collaborator Feen Murray, uses abstract imagery of skulls and hearts to reflect the tension between emotionality and overthinking, a visual metaphor for the EP’s lyrical core.
"Regime" is more than just a record. It’s a statement. A safe space. A scream in the silence. And with “Poems By a Poltergeist,” Juliet Ruin invites listeners to confront their shadows and find strength in the echo.
Track Listing: 1. Reactance Theory (4:03) 2. Chrysalis (4:01) 3. Poems By a Poltergeist (3:02) 4. The Art of Being Wise (4:09) 5. Regime (5:02) EP Length: 20:18
After nearly three decades of pushing musical boundaries, Little King returns with their most ambitious and emotionally resonant release to date, "Lente Viviente," set for release on all major platforms on September 26th.
Before the album officially drops, the trio has teamed up with V13.net for the full-stream premiere, which can be heard HERE. Described by frontman and songwriter Ryan Rosoff as “Musical DMT,” "Lente Viviente" is a seven-track suite of “micro-epics” that blend progressive rock, melodic hooks, and heavy riffs into a tightly woven tapestry of sound and sentiment.
“A true listening experience should hit all the notes… sometimes contemplative, sometimes raging, but always engaged and honest. We feel like this record is the highlight of our 28 years of making music,” says Rosoff.
With Dave Hamilton (bass, cello) and Tony Bojorquez (drums), and a fresh studio environment, Little King has elevated their sound to new heights. The result is a dynamic, melodic, progressive, heavy rock experience that’s both cerebral and heartfelt. From the first note to the last, "Lente Viviente" invites listeners on a short but mind-blowing journey. The album’s dynamic range and textured performances are designed to push and pull, offering music for both the head and the heart. Each track stands alone yet contributes to a larger narrative arc, one that explores themes of identity, aging, addiction, immigration, and the fragile balance between strength and vulnerability.
Lyrically, the album draws inspiration from Rosoff’s work with LivingLens Memoirs, his video memoir production company. The title itself, Spanish for “Living Lens,” is a nod to the interplay between memory and presence, perception and truth. Songs like “Catch and Release,” “Who’s Illegal?” and “Kindness for Weakness” reflect Rosoff’s background in creative writing and his deep commitment to storytelling through sound. For the first time in Little King’s history, all three band members appear on the album cover. The artwork, centered around themes of reflection and perception, features a crown slightly off-center, a metaphor for the imperfect balance between artist and audience. As Rosoff puts it, “One is left to wonder what the world looks like from behind the band’s side of the lens… what do they see?”
A lean, powerful record that demands repeat listens, Little King's "Lente Viviente" is recommended for fans of Rush, Porcupine Tree, Pink Floyd, Muse, Led Zeppelin, and is available for pre-order/digital pre-save (out Sept 26th) at https://show.co/nI24kSK
Track Listing: 1. Catch and Release - 3:22 2. Dawn Villa - 3:42 3. Who’s Illegal? - 3:56 4. Kindness for Weakness - 3:21 5. Sweet Jessie James - 2:42 6. Pass Through Filters - 4:50 7. The Living Lens - 3:37 Album Length: 25:34
After nearly a decade of silence, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec metal band OUTLYING returns with a vengeance. Their long-awaited third full-length album, "Oblivisci," drops November 21st, delivering a visceral blend of melodic death, thrash, and black metal that’s as emotionally raw as it is sonically aggressive. The first single, “November,” is now available for streaming on all major platforms. Founded in 2007 by vocalist/guitarist Fred A. Dubeau, OUTLYING began as a group of high school friends jamming covers in 2003. Over the years, the band evolved into a force of original expression, rejecting technical excess in favor of music that hits straight to the gut.
“We wanted to create something anyone can feel and understand. Music that’s captivating, dark, aggressive, and melodic,”says Dubeau. "Oblivisci," Latin for “to forget,” is a concept album exploring themes of trauma, alienation, grief, and addiction. The band’s signature sound is heavier and more melodic than ever, with no filler tracks and a commitment to emotional authenticity. Fans can expect a dynamic listening experience, with tracks ranging from thrashy punk anthems to atmospheric ballads. Highlights include “Snow,” a harrowing tale of abuse featuring female vocals, and “Sentinel,” a grief-stricken power ballad that echoes the band’s earlier fan favorites. The album closes with a three-part epic chronicling Dubeau’s personal journey through substance abuse and recovery.
“After a long and challenging journey, we’re proud to finally share Oblivisci with the world. This album reflects our commitment to staying true to ourselves while evolving our sound. We’ve never followed trends; our music is dark, heavy, and emotionally charged, shaped by diverse influences from metal to classic rock, and even film, books, and games. Oblivisci builds on what OUTLYING has always stood for, but pushes deeper into atmosphere and intensity. Though often called melodic death metal, our sound draws from thrash, black, prog, and beyond. In a sea of forgettable songs, we hope this one leaves a mark,” adds Dubeau. The first single, “November,” showcases OUTLYING’s evolved sound: a haunting, melodic death metal track about obsession and longing. It’s a powerful preview of what’s to come.
OUTLYING’s current lineup is a story of pure coincidence. Drummer Martin “Frenchy” Reithler first heard Fred on a metal podcast while living in France. After hearing Fred mention he was looking for a permanent drummer, Frenchy, who was already planning a move to Quebec, reached out. Fred initially thought the message was spam. Later, Fred was asked by a friend to lend a soldering iron to fix a bass guitar. That visit led to him meeting Charles Alex Bilodeau. Weeks later, when searching for a new bassist, Fred remembered Charles Alex, and the lineup was complete. Despite being based in Trois-Rivières, none of the members grew up there. Fred hails from near Bécancour, Charles Alex from Victoriaville, and Frenchy from a suburb near Paris, France. Live, OUTLYING promises raw energy and passion, eschewing overproduced trends in favor of pure rock and roll intensity.
“We want every show to feel like a journey, different vibes, different ambiance, all created with just our instruments,” says Dubeau. With influences ranging from At The Gates and Testament to Cradle of Filth and Wintersun, OUTLYING’s sound is rooted in melodic death metal, thrash, black, and groove metal. Their previous releases include Within The Jail Of The Unfortunate (EP) (2008), Scars Of Daylight (2012), and Frameworks For Repression (2016). The album artwork for "Oblivisci" depicts a post-apocalyptic version of the band’s hometown, reflecting the lyrical themes of societal decay and personal collapse. "Oblivisci" will be available on November 21st on all streaming platforms.
Track Listing: 1 - The Raven Is Gone - 5:27 2 - Stigma - 3:49 3 - Snow - 6:02 4 - Streets Of Rats And Vultures - 4:47 5 - Pitch-Black Serum - 4:36 6 - November - 5:56 7 - Sentinel - 5:43 8 - Impaired - 5:32 9 - Dreamless Nights Part I: A Lullaby For The Insomniac - 4:19 10- Dreamless Nights Part II: From Velvet Skies - 5:13 11- Dreamless Nights Part III: Walking Out Of Eden's Ashes - 4:25 Album Length: 55:49
