Las Vegas, NV -- Rock band, Vampires Everywhere!, are sharing their brand new single, "Your Black Heart" on May 29. The single follows behind the band's recently released single, "All My Friends Think I'm Weird," and the band's UK tour announcement where they are set to support A Skylit Drive this September. "Your Black Heart" creates a powerful dynamic with glossy visuals and sleek vocals. The band shows a unique side to themselves as they step into this new era of music. "I'm beyond excited to present to you "Your Black Heart." The song is about being in love with someone who you know is super toxic for you. You want the very best for the relationship and want it to work so badly. However, all your efforts seem to fail miserably. You would give anything to revive the relationship even sticking around during the worst of times. Overall the song is about personal growth and strength. I wanted to write about topics that I faced in my life and came out on the other end a stronger, more confident person. Learning how to control your emotions and gain a sense of patience is pivotal in making life decisions and making a relationship work." - Michael Vampire, lead vocalist. "I am so excited to head back to the United Kingdom this September with A Skylit Drive! I always feel at home in the UK and the fans there are absolutely amazing! We plan on bringing a special setlist and live show for this run. I want to make this tour extra special and leave fans with a piece of my heart. This is a tour you do not want to miss!" - Michael Vampire, lead vocalist. United Kingdom Tour DatesSeptember 10 - Birmingham @ O2 Institute 2 September 11 - Manchester @ The Bread Shed September 12 - Glasgow @ Slay September 13 - Newcastle @ Anarchy Live September 16 - TBA September 18 - London @ O2 Academy Islington September 19 - TBA September 20 - Southampton @ The 1865 About Vampires Everywhere!: Forming in Hollywood, CA Vampires Everywhere! came together under the events of immortality, as lead vocalist Michael Vampire found himself in a collision with a drunk driver causing their van to flip resulting in his death in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. “My teeth exploded causing me to choke on my own blood, they revived me from that.” Says Michael reflecting on the accident. “The doctors said somebody was on my shoulder watching over me during this accident. It led me down a darker path, it was the pushing and driving force behind but I wanted to do.” Michael says regarding the band's conception. This incident intertwined with his love of horror films such as “Bram Stoker's Dracula,” “Fright Night,” and the 1987 cult classic film “The Lost Boys” helped piece the band together. “The name comes from a comic book in “The Lost Boys,” that not many people knew about.” Says Michael on the inspiration behind the name, Vampires Everywhere!. The band mixes worlds of 80’s glam portrayed in Mötley Crüe laced with the new-aged metalcore. They quickly gained notoriety in 2010 with the band’s debut music video “Immortal Love” quickly hitting 1 million views and landed on the iconic MTV Headbangers Ball. Following the success of “Immortal Love” Vampires Everywhere! joined the Hot Topic Tour in 2010 with Black Veil Brides. The band went on to build an extensive tour history, sharing the stage with artists such as Alesana, Escape The Fate, Falling In Reverse, Motionless In White and more. They were featured on X Japan’s first North American Tour along with playing festivals including Inkcarceration Fest, Van's Warped Tour, Dark Force Fest, South By SoWhat, HTP Fest and Headlining Rob Zombie’s Great Adventure in Pomona, CA. The 2021 era of the band has spawned a new generation of Vampires Everywhere! fans. Their cover of "Cry Little Sister," the theme song from the 1987 cult classic film "The Lost Boys" earned a Top 40 spot on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Chart and Mediabase Rock Radio Charts. The song was also featured on the Paramount+ Hit TV Show "Burning Girls" in the UK. “The whole idea of what we’re trying to do is “trying to believe in yourself” and put yourself in a position where you can praise yourself more.” Says Michael explains, “Our music having a darker element to relate to people who may not be happy.” Hear Vampires Everywhere!’s newest single "All My Friends Think I'm Weird" out now.

Blending theatrical intensity with razor-sharp modern rock, IN THIS MOMENT have spent the last decade building one of heavy music's most unmistakable identities. Led by the magnetic presence of MARIA BRINK, the GRAMMY-nominated band have turned their fusion of spectacle, vulnerability, and massive melodic hooks into a global phenomenon, earning platinum-certified success and more than two billion career streams along the way. Now, the band begin their next chapter with the release of the explosive new single "Sleeping With The Enemy," out now via Better Noise Music. Listen to "Sleeping With The Enemy" here. Watch the official video here. For more on the single, Brink offers, "With 'Sleeping with the Enemy' and our upcoming album, we're confronting the darkness — whether it's inside us or external. It's about looking that darkness in the face and transforming it into empowerment. We feel so exhilarated and ready to show the world what we've conjured up." Boasting a sound that feels both intimate and arena-sized at once, the band will be hitting the road across the U.S. on the upcoming Taste Of Chaos Tour. Starting on September 22 in Charlotte, NC, ITM will pack venues with their co-headliners, Hollywood Undead, along with support from I See Stars, Vana, and Melrose Avenue, creating a truly full-spectrum heavy tour — dark, explosive, and unapologetically diverse. All dates are below. Get tickets here. "Sleeping With the Enemy" and the previously released "Heretic" (feat. Kim Dracula), mark the first tastes of the band's upcoming, as-yet-untitled ninth album and debut for Better Noise Music. More details will be announced in due course.  "And for when you wanna get the rowdy crowd nice 'n CA-RAAAZZZAYYY, "Cross The Line" delivers a thrash bashin' neck wreckin' back achin' fist breakin' body slammin' knee jammin' ass kickin' helluva fuckin' good time!! Heads always bang and bodies always move, "Cross The Line" gets all the Hellions in the groove!" The band’s new single arrives as an unapologetic declaration of intent, delivering a relentless combination of razor-sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and the raw energy that has become synonymous with MIDNITE HELLION sound. Built for raised fists, loud speakers, and packed venues, “Cross The Line” serves as both a battle cry and a warning shot. From its opening moments, the track wastes no time launching listeners into a full throttle metal assault. The guitars cut with precision, the rhythm section pounds with undeniable force, and the vocals carry an intensity that captures the spirit of classic heavy metal while driving fearlessly toward the future. “Cross The Line” explores themes of defiance, pressure, confrontation, and pushing beyond limitations. It carries the feeling of standing at a crossroads and choosing to charge forward without hesitation, regardless of consequences. MIDNITE HELLION continue to prove why they remain a force in modern heavy metal balancing old school metal DNA with a fresh and aggressive edge that connects with longtime fans and newer generations of metalheads alike. Metal has always thrived on power, rebellion, and pushing boundaries and MIDNITE HELLION are kicking down the door with all three on their latest release, “Cross The Line."  Dragged Under have dropped their new single "Rebel Son Rise!" — a call to action for the future generations. Check out the video here. "Rebel Son Rise!" packs an inspiring message to the children of the world in a frenetic three minutes. Talking about the song, singer Tony Cappocchi says, "Since we wrote the last record, I've become a father to two amazing kids. This song is a message about how cruel the world can be, and it's a plea for them to find their own path and always put their convictions and truth ahead of what society wants them to be — whether that relates to the social status quo, politics, or religion. I just want them to be rebels and realize that what's popular or approved by their peers isn't always what's right. It's perfectly acceptable to be the one swimming against the current." "Rebel Son Rise!" follows their previous single "AlgoRHYTHM," a vitriolic swipe at algorithm surfers. This adds to a catalog that has already clocked up an impressive 100 million streams across 2022's Upright Animals and their 2020 debut album,The World Is In Your Way, and the band is fizzing to get back into action. Dragged Under's frenzied live shows have seen them throw down the gauntlet during festival sets at Louder Than Life (US), Aftershock (US), Slam Dunk (UK), Download (UK), 2000Trees (UK), Hellfest (France), and Full Force (Germany). This energy has seen them tour with Blessthefall, Beartooth, Sleeping with Sirens, Pierce The Veil, The Used, 10 Years, From Ashes to New, The Word Alive, The Ghost Inside, and Landmvrks, along with several headline runs across North America and Europe. For a musician, there's one thing more empowering than being part of a newly formed band, and that is reforming a popular, powerhouse act after thinking you'd never play together again. That's why the aforementioned Cappocchi, rhythm guitarist Sean Rosario, and drummer Dylan Roy are so excited about the band's future. Cappocchi and Rosario are back with the fellow original band members, Ryan "Fluff" Bruce (guitar) and Hans Hessburg (bass), three years after both quit unexpectedly and acrimoniously, leaving the future of Dragged Under at best uncertain. "Our band was never better than it was with our core members — me, Sean, Hans, and Fluff," says Cappocchi. "Those dudes have been as committed to Dragged Under and as stoked about it as they were when they first joined. Knowing that only made us want to be bigger than ever." Be on board or be dragged under. 
"New Horizons" is a song of triumph, not letting your dark (or toxic) past decide who you are and writing a new chapter of whats to come."
Rock music has always been about movement moving forward, fighting through uncertainty, and embracing the road ahead. With their newest single, “New Horizons,” NOW ITS DARK deliver an emotionally charged and sonically powerful anthem built for anyone standing at the edge of change and preparing to take the next step. “New Horizons” captures the feeling of leaving behind the familiar and stepping into the unknown. Blending powerful melodies, dynamic instrumentation, and emotionally driven songwriting, the band creates a track that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable. It is a song about struggle, growth, and the courage it takes to move forward even when the destination is uncertain. From the opening moments, “New Horizons” immediately establishes an atmosphere that pulls listeners in before exploding into soaring hooks and driving rock energy. The track balances intensity and vulnerability, delivering a sound that feels equally suited for late-night reflection and full volume road trips. At its core, “New Horizons” is about evolution. 
The Barbarians Of California, featuring Aaron Bruno of AWOLNATION and Eric Stenman of Tinfed and a noted producer, remain equal opportunity iconoclasts, gleefully thrashing the left and the right in the hardcore-punk tradition of nonconformity and raw fury. Recently, VICE summed up the band simply and effectively, saying: "They're so f**king good." #Facts. Today, the band is thrilled to announce its second album MEGATONS, out August 21. Pre-save it here. With MEGATONS, The Barbarians of California are unleashing fresh chaos straight from the sun-soaked, teeth-gnashing heart of the Golden State. Blending raw hardcore energy, riffs by the pound, and that signature mix of ferocity and tongue-in-cheek humor, these new songs hit like a caffeine-fueled fever dream. Through and through, the band delivers unapologetic anthems that feel both brutally fun yet dangerously addictive. "Everyone has heard of the sophomore slump," states Stenman. "Making a second album can be a fraught process full of overthinking and self-doubt. Perhaps, the benefit of us starting this band, at this later point in our lives, relieves some of that pressure. This felt so easy, and is a seamless continuation of whatever we started with the first batch of song — just bigger and better." The Barbarians aren't slowing down — they're just getting louder, meaner, and more ridiculously entertaining. Buckle up, buttercup! It's about to get beautifully bumpy. TBOC's irreverrent sense of humor is readily apparent in the classroom-centered video for the new single "THE GNARLYCORE CLASS." Raise your hand and watch it here. "Sometimes when writing a new song, the goal is to land on a tempo that hasn't been used anywhere else on the album," Stenman says. "'Gnarlycore' was just that. I think Aaron has been wishing for something in this vein for a while now. This was the second to last song that we came up with for MEGATONS, and it seemed to come together quickly and effortlessly." MEGATONS TRACK LISTING:"BACK TO THE VALLEY" "THE GNARLYCORE CLASS" "VANILLA LATTE" "BOMB TO A KNIFE FIGHT" "REALLY REALLY RAD" "MEGATONS SEGUE" "EARTHQUAKE" "THIS IS SHREDICAL" "HIDE ALL YOUR RECORDS" "MODERN FASHION" "SHARK OUT OF WATER" "I AM THE SUBMARINE" TBOC have also confirmed their first set of headline tour dates, alongside shows with Guns N' Roses and festival apperances.
