Nonpoint have officially announced their highly anticipated 11th studio album, The Last Word, arriving September 18, 2026, through 361 Degrees Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has released the official music video for their powerful new single, "Is It," now available on all major digital streaming platforms. Fans will be able to secure the album beginning July 2, 2026, when the official pre-save and pre-order campaign launches across all major digital platforms and participating retailers. Pre-Save here: https://found.ee/nonpoint Pre-Order Exclusive Limited Edition CD/Vinyl Bundles here: https://nonpoint.com/ Already making an impact at Active Rock radio, "Is It" was the #1 Most Added track when it came out and has quickly climbed into the Top 50 on the Mediabase Active Rock chart. Elias explains the concept behind the song "Is It." ‘Is It’ is that internal conflict where you question getting too involved? Did I push too hard? Did I ask too much? It’s that feeling of wondering if doing what you thought was right actually meant hurting the people around you.” The album itself represents far more than another release in the band's celebrated catalog. "In a world that sometimes wants to put a timestamp on creativity, The Last Word is our way of saying we're just getting started. We're pushing back against expectation and pushing forward into our own next chapter." The album artwork carries an equally powerful message. Soriano describes the symbolic pencil featured on the cover as a reflection of both longevity and perseverance. "This album cover tells a piece of our story. After years of making music, we feel more aligned than ever—musically, visually, and creatively. We’re writing some of the strongest material of our career, our live shows are as powerful as they’ve ever been, and the band feels focused and energized. The pencil on the cover represents what it’s like to be handed one last tool and expected to fit everything you have left to say into it. Not because the ideas are gone, but because longevity often comes with assumptions and limits. The Last Word isn’t about accepting an ending. It’s about challenging that narrative. If this is the pencil we’re being handed, we’re going to use it—and make sure the words written with it still matter." Coinciding with the album announcement, Nonpoint has also revealed "The Even More Outta Control Tour," kicking off July 25, 2026. Renowned for their explosive live performances, the band will be performing brand-new material from The Last Word alongside the fan favorites that have become staples of their live set. The tour offers audiences an early look at what promises to be one of the band's most dynamic records to date. For more than two decades, Nonpoint has remained one of hard rock's most resilient and respected acts, earning millions of streams, multiple charting singles, and a fiercely loyal global fanbase through relentless touring and uncompromising musicianship. The Last Word finds the band firing on all cylinders, proving they have no intention of slowing down.

"We'll see how long you last..."Following front man Dez Fafara's recent takeover of SXM's Liquid Metal, DEVILDRIVER's campaign of carnage continues with the release of the blood-soaked title track off their explosive new record Strike and Kill, out this Friday via Napalm Records. Easily one of the most vicious tracks on the album, the band gleefully hurls listeners through a pulverizing blend of maximalist virtuosity and bone crushing slam riffage. Melodeath, slam, groove, and thrash, everything that the band has built their lasting legacy on emerges in vibrant shades of red: A soundtrack to the slaughter. About the track, frontman Dez Fafara states: "'Strike and Kill' is a song about individuals that have to learn lessons the hard way. Sometimes in life, you need to learn things the hard way in order to make your next decision or next move properly. Beware the moves you make at midnight behind emotion and without any thought of consequence. For you will learn lessons, and they will be taught to you the hard way." DEVILDRIVER have been on a menacing mission since first announcing Strike and Kill, with both lead singles dominating the Metal Contraband charts, spinning frequently on SXM's Liquid Metal (hitting Number 2 on the "Devil's Dozen"), effectively quenching the bloodthirst of their longstanding devotees, who have proclaimed it a glorious return to form for the California groove metal legends. Honoring the album's title, DEVILDRIVER remains tactically vicious, and uncompromisingly brutal. Following DEVILDRIVER's career defining double album Dealing With Demons Vols. 1 & 2 —with Vol. 1 sitting at #1 at metal radio for a triumphant 15 weeks, and Vol. 2 celebrated by internationally revered media like Metal Injection, Kerrang!, and Blabbermouth, who lauded "you can't stop the unstoppable"— the band sets out on a rabid hunt with Strike and Kill, holding the blade to your throat, and serving up that trademark DEVILDRIVER blend of melodeath elegance, blackened atmosphere, tectonic grooves, and Fafara's iconic visceral delivery. Wasting no time, the album bursts open with the incendiary "Dig Your Own Grave," a flurry of assault rifle kicks and crunchy riffs encircle the listener casting them into the waiting abyss before transitioning into "Dead in the Water," showcasing the vibrant melodeath tapestries of master guitar duo Alex Lee and Gabe Mangold. "Sanctified In Scars" implements industrial pulsating beats and ethereal sonic textures, sanctifying Fafara's venomous voice with blackened tremolo excellence. The album’s title track "Strike and Kill" is a reconciliation of hardships and lessons learned, built upon the backs of blisteringly technical riffage and dizzyingly swift drumming by Davier Perez. Tracks like "In the Moonlight" and "Never Coming Home" wrap listeners in serenely blissful guitarmonies, elevating the brutality with elegance and emotion. "Ride or Die" unleashes pure metal inertia, pulling listeners in with unrelenting force. Exemplifying their technical edge with tracks like “Headed for the Fall” and "You’re just a Ghost," the band embraces mind-bendingly off-kilter patterns that spin listeners' heads. "Summoning Shadows" offers the albums longest respite from carnage, with textured acoustic guitars building tension before the band comes crashing back in with triumphant power. "Shut the Silence On" and "Oath of Iron" get super thrashy with their ballsy riffage and blast beats, before "All Bets are Off" brings things to a cataclysmic conclusion. Strike and Kill Will Be Available in The Following Configurations: 1-CD Digipak 1-LP Gatefold Vinyl SOLID BLUE 1-LP Gatefold Vinyl TRANSLUCENT VERDE – Napalm Records Mailorder Exclusive 1-LP Gatefold Vinyl SPLATTERED (incl.

The guitarist (a.k.a. John Lowery) debuted his new single, ‘You, Me, and the Devil Makes Three‘ Tuesday. The song is the latest single from Lowery’s latest album, Ghost, which was released in October 2025. It follows the release of the album’s other singles, ‘Moon Glow,’ ‘Fiend,’ ‘Deviant,’ ‘A Hollywood Story,’ The Ghost‘ and ‘Strung Out.’ The musical arrangement featured in ‘You, Me, and the Devil Makes Three’ is a fun composition. Its blend of up tempo blues and rockabilly makes it easily comparable to works from the likes of Rev. Horton Heat, ZZ Top, and The Legendary Shack Shakers. Motley Crue drummer Tommy lee provides the hand claps and foot stomps throughout the song. In other news, John 5 has announced a handful of live dates set for this fall across Europe and Mexico. The tour, which is set to kick off Oct. 11 in Exeter, England, will follow Lowery’s tour alongside Motley Crue, dubbed the “Return of the Carnival of Sin Tour.” The upcoming solo run is scheduled to run through Nov. 8 in Mexico City, Mexico.

On June 12th, the band released their much-anticipated A/B (deluxe anniversary edition) double-LP, out now via Rhino Records. As well as commemorating their breakout record — which spawned hits like “All The Pretty Girls,” “No Good,” and the universal sensation “Way Down We Go,” which has nearly 4 billion streams and has been featured in over 3 million TikToks, cementing it as one of the most viral tracks in the history of the platform — with a digital deluxe edition, KALEO will be pressing the album, alongside never-before-heard recordings and iconic live performances of original songs, into a limited edition vinyl double-LP. ORDER A/B (Deluxe Anniversary Edition) The deluxe anniversary 2LP highlights the vinyl debut of the “Way Down We Go” stripped version, “Up In The Sky,” a studio track previously unreleased outside of Iceland, and the premiere of a new spin on an old classic, “Still No Good," which features an accompanying music video filmed at United Record Pressing, the same location they filmed the original "No Good" video. Transforming an intimate, live studio session into a reflection on time, artistic evolution, and legacy, the "Still No Good" music video looks back at an electric time in KALEO's history with fondness and learned insight. ABOUT KALEO Emerging from Mosfellsbær, a small town in the suburbs of Reykjavik, Iceland, KALEO formed as childhood friends in 2012.

On June 12th, the band released the 10-year Anniversary Deluxe Edition of their debut album, A/B which spawned hits like “All The Pretty Girls,” “No Good,” and the universal sensation “Way Down We Go,” which has nearly 4 billion streams and has been featured in over 3 million TikToks, cementing it as one of the most viral tracks in the history of the platform. The double vinyl will spotlight some of the band’s iconic live performances plus a few rare studio recordings. To celebrate they will embark on their Way Down We Go Tour this summer. DED — Joe Cotela (vocals); Alex Adamcik (guitar); Kyle Koelsch (bass); and Matt Reinhard (drums) — are pleased to release the deluxe version of their September 2025-released album RESENT via UNFD today, July 3. Get it here. RESENT: Deluxe Edition will feature unreleased tracks and demos, adding 11 new tracks to the original 12-track album and offering fans a deeper look into the creative sessions that ultimately shaped RESENT. Today, they share "DENOUNCER," which premiered at SiriusXM's Octane. The RESENT Deluxe edition expands on the band's third studio album with five additional songs, including the previously released single "Weapon" and the aforementioned "DENOUNCER." It also features three tracks that were strong contenders for the original album but ultimately didn't make the final tracklist, along with six demos ranging from raw early ideas to near-finished recordings. "We thought it would be cool to put everything out there and give people a look behind the curtain," says frontman Joe Cotela. "These songs and demos were all part of the creative process behind RESENT, and we wanted fans to hear the full picture of what we were working on during that era." Speaking about "DENOUNCER," Cotela explains, "I've always loved this song. I wanted it on the record, but I think it ended up feeling a little left-of-center compared to the rest of the album. It's not necessarily a strange song, but it has a different energy and perspective that made it stand apart from the other tracks. Looking back, that may be exactly what makes it interesting. "At its core, the song is about finding your own spiritual power and refusing to hand that power over to people who want to use fear, guilt, or authority to control others. A lot of the inspiration came from seeing evangelists, institutions, politicians, and religious figures use faith as a tool for influence rather than a path to connection. The song isn't about attacking pure religion or telling people what to believe. It's about questioning anyone who claims to speak on behalf of something greater or weaponizing that for gain while using that position to manipulate others. "For me, spirituality, faith, love, energy, life, death, the essence of being alive—those are deeply personal experiences. No other human being can define my relationship with the universe, with the creator, or with whatever connects us all. I believe people should be encouraged to look deep within themselves, ask questions, and find their own path rather than externally and faithfully following someone else's version of truth. Ultimately, 'DENOUNCER' is a reminder that we should question everything we think we know—not from a place of cynicism, but from a place of curiosity, growth, and personal freedom. Well, maybe a little cynicism." Overall, the deluxe is a "must-listen" for fans. RESENT: DELUXE EDITION TRACK LISTING: "Wasted" "You Want Honest?" (Feat.

It arrives digitally on August 7 and on CD and vinyl on October 16 via earMUSIC. Thei first song from the live album “Raise The Dead” is now online, including a live video that captures the energy of that night. The recording is a thunderous celebration of rock history delivered with raw power, attitude and unmatched chemistry – a night where legends honored legends. In 2018, the Hollywood Vampires took to the prestigious Montreux stage, bringing their unique blend of theatrical rock, reverence for their fallen heroes, and unapologetic energy to one of the most renowned festivals in the world. What unfolded was more than a concert. A celebration of the music, the excess, the camaraderie and the legacy that continues to shape generations. Rooted in the spirit of the original Hollywood Vampires, a legendary collective of musicians united by friendship, mischief, and a shared love for rock 'n' roll, the band channels both the reckless joy, and the deeper reflection that defined an era. As captured in this live recording, their performance embodies that same paradox: The wild abandon of rock excess alongside a heartfelt tribute to those who came before them.

Today, the band shares the video for new single "SWEET ESCAPE." Watch it here. "Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to stop holding on to a losing situation," the band shares about the song. 2026 has been quite a banner year for Return to Dust thus far. Let's recap. They have led the rock revival, as their recent single "BORED" ascended to the top of the Active Rock Radio charts and the band won the iHeartRadio Music Awards "On The Verge" award. They hit the road on a headline tour and also supported Yungblud throgh the spring. RTD also shared its cover of OutKast's genre-smashing, 2003-released, Grammy-winning, and chart-topping mega hit "Hey Ya!," which was listed as No. 10 on Rolling Stone's "Greatest Songs of All Time List "(2021). Return to Dust's cover featured synth production from Puscifer's Mat Mitchell. Ultimately, they took an upbeat, feel good pop classic and given it an edgy, rock 'n' roll makeover, infusing the track with a darker, gloomier vibe — making it truly their own. Watch the band’s performance of "Hey Ya!" at Red Rocks here. The band also shows zero signs of slowing down, and will remain on the road through the fall, as the stage is band's most natural habitat. They will appear at festivals, support Breaking Benjamin and Chevelle in Europe, feature on a handful of Yungblud makeup dates, and will then return to the U.S. to support Theory of a Deadman and Sevendust.

Return to Dust signed to Lava Records/Republic Records and released their Speak Like The Dead EP in 2025, featuring the breakout single "Bored," which climbed to No. 1 at Active Rock radio. They quickly became a must-see live act, igniting stages at major festivals including Inkcarceration, Welcome To Rockville, and Sonic Temple, and sharing bills with rock heavyweights Chevelle, Three Days Grace, Breaking Benjamin, and Billy Corgan. Return to Dust carried that momentum into 2026, earning an iHeartRadio Music Award win in the "On the Verge" category, tour dates with Yungblud, and announcing their first European appearances at Rock am Ring, Rock im Park, Nova Rock, Download, Graspop, and Tuska Festival. With a rapidly growing global presence, the band is poised to stand at the forefront of the next generation of rock music. |
