There's big surprise releases from Deafheaven and Power Trip, major Nightwish and Judas Priest line-up shifts, a tremendous festival announcement from Fortress, live shows from Joyce Manor, Blaze Bayley, and Khemmis, but no one wants to talk about any of it because the world's up in arms about James Hetfield.Releases:Caspian - CaspianThe Number Twelve Looks Like You - Howls from the Holographic HeartThroes - The Colorless Light of EmptinessJohn Zorn - FlatlandsEivør - TunglInsomnium - NetherworldsThe Keening - DevotionMaster - Among the Seeds of DeathMother of Graves - The Light That Keeps UsAlgor Mortis - The Art of SufferingShores of Null - HomesickLugubrious Garment - In the Wide Vale of Uncreated Night

It's real highs and lows in the news for rock music this week, with incredibly exciting reveals from Disfear and Repugnant, the 2027 line-up announcements from Slam Dunk and ArcTanGent, but also the news of Enter Shikari's incoming hiatus and the mountain-moving loss of Venom's Cronos, the forefather of extreme metal without whom our world is unthinkable.Releases:Amon Amarth - The Allfather AwakensTwin Atlantic - Separation from the AnimalsImminence - Axis MundiEscape the Fate - The Last GoodbyeMiss May I - No Place for MeTo the Grave - LIBERATION FRONTHaywire 617 - I Don’t Wanna Say GoodbyeCyadine - Violence In MeasureBobbie Dazzle - Star PowerHaunt - Setting CourseAsomvel - Set Your World On FireHippotraktor - AnnihilistDissimulator - Artifice DissolvesDeconsekrated - The Inexorable Transcendence of DeathSpirit Possession - Cathedral SpeechXasthur - Open to MisinterpretationFrom First to Last - We Were Bleeding AnywayThe Crawling - What We Leave BehindSwans - Newly Sentient Being
There are surprising pivots towards our world from the pop sphere this time from Miley Cyrus and Chvrches alongside new singles from Bullet for My Valentine & several others, live trips to see Electric Wizard & more, there's a mindblowing milestone for Judas Priest's Ian Hill, a bizarre multi-pronged bust-up with Frankie Palmeri at the centre, and sadly another passing of a punk and hardcore legend with the loss of New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert.Releases:Holding Absence - Modern Life is LonelyEmma Ruth Rundle - These Killing TimesBoy Harsher - Get MeanThe Eternal - Obscured HorizonsRemote Viewing - State ViolenceEarly Moods - Ready for the GraveKrallice - Scour OrderRunemagick - After Chaos: Nocturnal VigilCH’AHOM - Anthropic Rites of SublimationCombust / Blow Your Brains Out / Imposter - United NationsTom Morello - Everyone Gets Everything They WantColdrain - OPTIMIZE = OPTDEMIZEEurope - Come This MadnessKeo - Put a Smile On For MePain of Truth - Pain of TruthSplit Dogs - Nice N’ RoughBurner - No One is Coming to Save UsCloven Hoof - Never a Prophet in Your Own LandBloodstain - BloodstainGod Mother - KöttvärldCrown of Magnetar - The Hollowing of GodfleshGodflesh - DecayProtomartyr - Hotel UsonaBrat - ManslayerThe Ocean - SolarisEthereal Tomb - Living to Dream AgainNoctule - Extinguish Thy FlameIskald - Curse of the MindAborym - MetachaosKrolok - Hričov – Súľov – LietavaMassteron - Second in the SpheresProfanation - Ultra-Noise WarfareScorpion Milk - Flesh Mask for Skulls
