Nu-metal Texans SINBIOSIS have been around for some time now, releasing a few singles, and perhaps an album in the works! The band discusses these releases, some backstory into themselves, and what the future holds for them!


1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.

Sinbiosis is Nu-Metal/Metalcore from Laredo, Texas. Dom (Sloth) is on vocals. His brother Drew (Wrath) plays lead guitar. Their uncle, Da Beaver (Greed), is on bass. Raven (Envy) came in on rhythm guitar and got adopted into the group by the rest of us. Spicy (Lust) is on drums, a childhood friend of Da Beaver's.

We started as Da Ally Kats, a cover band. Local musician friends challenged us to a songwriting competition. We wrote a full set of originals, showed up, and won. That got Defect Productions' attention. After that we put a rebrand to a vote and the name Sinbiosis won.

2. What's the origin of the band's name?

Each of us came up with five possible names and we put them to a vote. Sinbiosis won. To us it means a sinful way of life. We're all born into sin and keep choosing it. Each member deals with one specific sin, so we leaned into it and turned those into the faces of the band. It's not a gimmick—it's just who we are when we plug in.

3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?

We're from Laredo, Texas, right on the border with Mexico. The metal scene here is small—Spanish-language music dominates the airwaves—but the people who show up actually stay and move. That support means everything.

Local/area bands worth checking out: As Good As Dead, Sikmind, Japanese Dream, Gardens Gate, Sounds of Arson, and Requiem for Redemption.

4. How would you describe your style?

Call it Nu-Metalcore.

It takes the groove, bounce, and late-'90s/early-2000s energy of classic nu-metal—think the rhythmic drive and party-ready feel from bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, and Korn—and pairs it with metalcore's breakdowns, vocal contrast, and modern aggression. The riffs are built to get people moving, then the breakdowns drop the weight. "N.T." sits right in that space: a party track carrying that 2000s-to-2010 nu-metal vibe with enough heaviness to keep the floor shaking.

5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?

Our debut single "N.T." dropped August 11, 2026. It's a party song with that early-2000s-to-2010 nu-metal groove—the kind of track that hits when the room's already moving. Expect crushing riffs, dynamic vocals, and breakdowns built for the pit.

6. Do you have any new music in the works?

We're finishing two new singles and a secret album. I wasn't supposed to say that part out loud.

7. As far as shows and touring, what is on the agenda?

We're locking in a Texas tour for April. End of the year we're aiming for a full U.S. run if the calendar holds. We've already played outside Laredo—San Marcos, Harlingen, Corpus, Houston, Brownsville—and opened for D.R.I. on their 2025 Texas stop. The plan is to keep the rooms getting bigger.

8. What else do you have planned for the rest of this year?

The year's winding down, so the focus is a music video for the single, getting merch out, and hitting more local gigs before we push further.

9. Where can we find you online, listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?

N.T. is on Spotify, Apple Music, and every major platform. Instagram: @sinbiosis_. Come through.

10. What is it you'd like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?

How the song made them feel. Especially if they were already ready to party—or already in the middle of one.


International Atmospheric Black/Post-Metal band MIK released their debut album "Ajmaq". The release was recorded, mixed and mastered by Elmer González in "Rite Studios".

Check out the album linked below:

https://mikofficial.bandcamp.com/album/ajmaq

Formed in 2026, MIK is an international depressive post-black metal project founded by Salvadoran guitarist/vocalist Elmer González and Galician rhythm guitarist Hilda Fernández, alongside bassist Elka Pérez and drummer Oscar Freites. Drawing inspiration from Burzum, Enslaved, and Silencer, the band pairs hypnotic repetition and atmospheric tension with Mayan and Nahuat symbolic motifs. Their music explores themes of eternal recurrence, existential dread, and psychological fragmentation. Rejecting easy resolution or redemption, MIK crafts an immersive sonic descent into the human condition, confronting emotional chaos and the lingering weight of consciousness through unyielding, melancholic intensity.


American Progressive Heavy Metal band Shade Of Memories released their new video clip for the song 'The Anvil" from the band's last album “Glaciers of Tomorrow”. The release was recorded, mixed and mastered in "Delbox Audio Studios".

Check out the video linked below:

Shade Of Memories is a one-man metal project from Seattle/Tacoma, Washington, founded in 2013 by Jay Pratt. As the sole creative force, Pratt blends powerful metal with cinematic storytelling and symbolic themes of perseverance and transformation. The debut album "Glaciers of Tomorrow" (2021) gained international attention from fans and media, establishing the project as a compelling fusion of disciplined musicianship and immersive, concept-driven artistry.


German Death Metal band Praise of Death released their new video clip "Rivers of Gore" from the band's new album. The release was recorded and mixed in "Morbid Arts Productions" by Mark Raziel and mastered by Ilarion Ivanenko. Video produced by Tahir Creations.

Check out the new video linked below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dkxeHw788s

Unleashed in 2024 by multi-instrumentalist Mark Raziel in Augsburg, Germany, Praise of Death is a solo death metal project fronted by Finnish vocalist Topias Jokipii. Rooted in old-school brutality, crushing riffs, and relentless aggression, the project stands out through mysterious atmospheres, solos, and contemplative lyricism. On the debut album "Philanthropist", Praise of Death moves beyond standard violence to explore nihilism, existential dread, and human self-destruction delivering a sound that is as savagely heavy as it is deeply unsettling and philosophical.

Los-Angeles - based industrial / metal band, SKUMLOVE, recently announced their signing to Candlepower Records - a subsidiary of Virgin Music. On Halloween, their first single under Candlepower drops - a cover of "Blood And Roses" by the legendary band, THE SMITHEREENS.

Says founding member, Skum Love: “The original song really touched my soul. The struggle between mental health and love plays a big part in many of our lives. Pat DiNizio was truly one of the world’s best songwriters. I knew I wanted to do my own version of this song and it took many years to figure out the ideas that were in my head. I did not want to take away what he created, but add upon it without losing the message. I think we did it justice and opened the song to a new generation.”

"Blood And Roses was produced & engineered by Kevin Kipnis at BFOK Studios. Drums recorded at Saints in LA studio Co-produced by Michael Ciravolo. Mastering was completed by Grammy-nominated engineer Maor Appelbaum in Los Angeles.

"Blood And Roses" is out now, check it HERE.

Los Angeles based Death-Thrash act DIABOLOGY presents the new single offering, "Them!." Imagining the horrors of AI in the form of killer robots through a B-horror movie lens, the track provides a first taste of the upcoming EP, Demons and Parasites. The EP is scheduled for release on February 12, 2027, via Dissonant Hymns Records.

On "Them!" DIABOLOGY comments: 

"The song’s title was inspired by a 50s B-horror movie of the same name about giant killer ants created by atom bombs. The movie was inspired by the atomic terror of the time, and with all of the discussion about AI leading to human extinction, I can’t help but feel that it’s the modern atomic terror. All of the band members are fans of sci-fi, and there’s definitely hints of Terminator and Star Trek inspiring these lyrics. These are probably some of my most heavy handed lyrics, but I don’t feel any need for subtly in saying ‘Fuck AI’."


"Them!" demonstrates the diversity of DIABOLOGY's genre-fusing sound. Opening with a striking drum fill followed by sweeping guitars and a galvanizing thrash riff, the track is heavy, melodic and catchy. Both harsh and clean vocals are present over the arrangement alongside guitar leads that are woven throughout "Them!."

Demons and Parasites was produced, mixed and mastered by Charles Elliott. The EP was recorded at Tastemaker Audio. Album cover artwork is by Anditya Dita (Poison Project).

LIVE NATION are delighted to announce the surprise return to North America of IRON MAIDEN and their spectacular RUN FOR YOUR LIVES show in the spring of 2027 for a very special third and final leg of the tour.

Following the packed shows and rave reactions across Canada and the USA for the recently concluded North American leg of their 50th Anniversary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR Iron Maiden will return to North America in 2027 to play a further 16 shows.

Maiden, a 2026 inductee into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, will play mainly in regions that the current tour missed, in a mix of indoor and outdoor venues, and will conclude with two festival headline performances at Sonic Temple and Boardwalk Rock. They will, of course, be bringing their full, dramatic production for each and every performance.

Says Steve Harris, “As many of our fans know, Maiden were planning on taking a break from live performances in 2027, but we’ve been enjoying this last leg in the USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East. It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years. We can’t get everywhere but we can try! Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland. At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans so it’s always a challenge and we all love a challenge!”

Manager Rod Smallwood comments, “The first leg was terrific, huge sell-out crowds of all ages spanning multi-generations, some of the biggest shows we have ever played in North America with rave fan and media reactions, and just a great all round vibe and camaraderie from our fans, including in our Eddie’s Dive Bars everywhere. And I know as I go to every one of them!  In fact it was so good we just have to come back and play some places we missed and bring Eddie’s Dive Bars with us! 

“It is amazing that even after all these years we played to many more people per show than ever before and headlined our first stadium shows in the USA. We have been selling out arenas in all parts of North America since 1983 - bar a short period in the 90s – and the band’s following here continues to grow despite an almost total lack of mainstream radio support and never even having a track reach the Billboard Hot 100! For that we have to thank our amazing fans, and it proves that word of mouth still means a lot. We look forward to seeing you all again next Spring”.

These shows will DEFINITELY be the last of the already legendary RUN FOR YOUR LIVES TOUR which by the end will have played 107 shows to well over 3 million fans in 36 countries – now that really is the proper way to celebrate your 50th anniversary!

Special Guests on the tour will be fellow Brits, Bullet for My Valentine who recently announced their new album ‘Social Apocalypse’ due out on March 19 2027. This tour will be the band’s first highly anticipated shows in North America since their co-headline tour with Trivium early last year. Rounding out this exciting all-British bill will be The Raven Age, who recently supported Maiden on several South and Central American shows. Not since 1983 has Maiden chosen a three-band British bill and this return to their roots suits this final celebration of their early years and their 50th Anniversary!
