Springing from a lost 1987 storyline by TMNT co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the much-anticipated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin will be available this summer from IDW Publishing (OTCQX: IDWM) in an epic oversized five-issue miniseries!  

Jeff Scott Soto has released a surprise live album, “Live At Frontiers Rock Festival 2019” on all digital platforms. Today marks the one year anniversary of the performance captured in Milan, Italy on April 27, 2019 at the Frontiers Rock Festival.  

This week’s addition to the weekly series of live performances being streamed on KNOTFEST.COM and presented by Liquid Death Mountain Water, will be Trivium’s ferocious set from last year’s Download Festival. This week’s broadcast will air on Saturday April 25th at 8pm BST/ 3pm EDT / 12pm PDT and will feature a special video intro from Trivium frontman, Matt Heafy and a live chat with Trivium bassist, Paolo Gregoletto with the other members of the band joining the chat from their own accounts.  

In a perfect world, Ulcerate is the biggest death metal band on the planet. I can’t fathom why more people haven’t been turned onto this band, but their track record of break-neck speed, cacophonic death metal is one of a kind. Darker than Gorguts yet not as much of an oddity as Imperial Triumphant, the New Zealand trio have long found their own brand of death metal, and on album number six, Stare into Death and Be Still, the band is perfecting their concrete and foolproof formula. In case you haven’t guessed it yet, this is one of the best death metal releases of the year, if not in music as a whole. And it’s only April.  

-(16)- returns with their new album, Dream Squasher. Set for release June 5th via Relapse Records, Dream Squasher is a testament to the power of loss, its every moment casting the San Diego outfit into deeper, darker depths.  

Sons of a Tradesman are South Florida’s own sons who bring their raw gritty sound as they debut their first single “The Bandit” from their forthcoming EP ROAD TO NOWHERE due out in autumn of 2020.  

Ever since the band’s founding in late 2004, AHAB have been exploring the deep dark sea, while becoming the true masters of solemn melancholy. The nautic doom heavyweights now announce their first intense live album, Live Prey – recorded at Death Row Fest 2017 in Jena, Germany – to be released on June 26, 2020 via Napalm Records.  

Los Angeles’ death metal masters ABYSMAL DAWN have released the official, 3D video for the song “Coerced Evolution,” which is taken from their new album, ‘Phylogenesis.’  

As the world continues to battle the recent Covid-19 outbreak, recent changes across the United States and its impact on communities are causing Alter Bridge to postpone their upcoming headline tour with special guests Black Stone Cherry and Saint Asonia.  

Ashes to Omens have played their hand once again and are bringing a hauntingly, melodically/metal blend of Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick in the Wall” to life. The song honors the original integrity of the wall, yet each brick laid by Ashes to Omens builds itself into a harder edge of interpretation that undeniably hits the backbone of rock fans and runs shivers down the spine of hard rockaholics.  

Stitched Up Heart release their new full-length album Darkness today via Another Century. Darkness is the band’s sophomore album and is available to stream and purchase HERE.  

Take Cover is a collection of the Orange County band’s hard to find cover songs recorded over the years that have never been available in a single collection.  “Becoming” (Pantera), “Propaganda” (Sepultura), “London Dungeon” (Misfits), “Planets Collide” (Crowbar), and “Baby Got Back” (Sir Mix-A-Lot) are featured on this 5-song EP, which arrives on digital and streaming platforms on Friday.
