Regarding the new album, Kittie singer-guitarist Morgan Lander stated, “10 years ago, if someone would have told us that we would be releasing new Kittie music in 2024, we’d have dismissed them right away. It feels like something deeper than fate that’s brought us together again, allowing us to create something fearless and magical for you. We’ve worked incredibly hard over the past year, and surrounded ourselves with the ultimate dream team to make this album a reality. We cannot wait for you to lose yourselves in the passion and strength of Fire.

Judas Priest are getting closer to the release of their Invincible Shield album, out on March 8th. Now, the legendary metal band has released the LP’s latest single, “Crown of Horns.”
The track falls on the melodic side of Priest’s musical spectrum, but still features a blistering guitar solo. The song marks the third single off Invincible Shield, following the previously released “Panic Attack” and “Trial by Fire.”
Judas Priest will take the new tracks on the road this year for a worldwide tour, including a headlining US run in April and May (pick up tickets here).
It took Priest a few years to complete Invincible Shield, with guitarist Richie Faulkner telling Heavy Consequence last May, “We’ve been working on a record for quite a while now. That got halted a little bit because of the Covid lockdowns. We’ve been trying to get that finished.”

Judas Priest are gearing up to release a new studio album, Invincible Shield, on March 8th, but fans don’t have to wait that long to hear new music from the band. The metal legends have unveiled the video for “Trial by Fire” as the second single from the LP.
“Trial by Fire” features some classic metal riffage from guitarists Richie Faulkner and Glenn Tipton, along with singer Rob Halford’s anthemic vocals. It follows the album’s debut single, “Panic Attack,” which arrived last month.
“Trial by Fire” and “Panic Attack” follow the ’70s metal sound that Faulkner had hinted about the new album. During a recent interview with Audio Ink Radio, Faulkner said this album was “a bit more ’70s Priest, which I welcome as a guitar player.”
However, he added that it was “not a retro album, by any means. It’s the influence of ’70s Priest in the progressive sense,...

Maggie Lindemann has spent much of this year on a sold-out world headlining tour, but now she’s back with a new single called “deprecating,” featuring siiickbrain.
The hauntingly heavy track is perfect for Friday the 13th, with siickbrain’s eerie screams contrasted against Lindemann’s melodic vocals.
Regarding the inspiration behind the new song, Lindemann said, “‘deprecating’ is about being manipulated. It’s about someone who is constantly installing a false narrative in your head. You’re trying to live your own life, and they are just constantly installing a fear in you to keep you from living.”
The song is Lindemann’s first bit of new music since the release of her debut album, Suckerpunch, in 2022. At the time, she premiered the video for the punk-ish song “Cages” via Consequence.
A press release promises “more exciting news coming soon” and that “a new Maggie Lindemann era seems to be on the horizon.

Pussy Riot have unveiled the new song “Bad Trip,” which features UK rock duo Nova Twins and Argentinian producer Mykka.
The track starts with some buzzing guitar noise before launching into a chaotic, sexy, screamy, and, at times, whisper-fueled pop-metal anthem, featuring the lyrics, “You’ll never see us coming/ There’s nowhere to escape/ Power, superNova/ Pussy Riot til it’s over.”
Pussy Riot leader Nadya Riot (formerly Nadya Tolokonnikova) said of the song, “Mykka played this beat for me and I got obsessed and begged her to give it to me. It sounds menacing and dominant. I’m a big fan of Bosch, so I wanted to imagine what would be my version of hell / bad trip in this track — being mansplained and totally dominated would be a version of hell for me, that’s why my verse goes: ‘Mansplain me!

London-based rock duo Wargasm have released an energetic, hard-hitting new single called “Bang Ya Head” featuring Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit. The song appears on their upcoming debut album, Venom, out October 27th.
“Bang Ya Head” features rave-appropriate electronics and sharp guitars, along with the dueling vocals of Durst and Wargasm singer Milkie Way.
Regarding the new single, Wargasm’s Sam Matlock stated, “When I was working in bars it always drove me insane how much it costs us to live, and how little money we make. The worlds going f**king crazy and everything’s getting so expensive — how the f**k are we meant to buy a life? It’s just this nightmare cycle until you get lucky.

Industrial metal band Static-x have released the new song “Stay Alive.” The track appears on the band’s upcoming Project Regeneration: Vol. 2 album and features vocals from late frontman Wayne Static.
“Stay Alive” is one of the final original songs Wayne was working on before his passing. In fact, in a release, the group’s former sound engineer Eddie Ortel says, “Wayne was working on this track the night that he passed away.”
An accompanying music video can be disturbing to some, as it features unreleased footage from Wayne’s “Assassins of Youth” video that shows him engaging in drug use that would eventually lead to his early death. Wayne passed away on November 1st, 2014, at the age of 48.
In the song, Wayne sings of the hardships of being a “professional addict” with the cry, “I just need you to survive! Cut you up to stay alive!” Along with Wayne on lead vocals,...

Following the news of a Creed reunion, singer Scott Stapp has released a new single, “Higher Power.” The track features Stapp’s characteristic brand of melodic hard rock, with powerful vocals and heavy guitars.
“Life’s mysteries can be unraveled by listening to one’s inner voice,” Stapp said regarding “Higher Power” in a press release. “For me, that means leaning on my faith in God and listening to His voice to guide me through the struggles and darkness. For others, whether it’s through art, nature, science, family, or a combination of all, tapping into a higher power is an individualized process that requires an open mind and a willingness to flow with a force that’s greater than the individual.”
Stapp wrote “Higher Power” with Scott Stevens, who co-produced the track with Marti Fredericksen. The tune was mixed by Chris Baseford and mastered by Ted Jensen.

Ghost recently released a covers EP called Phantomime, but they evidently have more covers in them. The Swedish metal band has unleashed a cover of Shakespears Sister’s 1992 single “Stay” featuring actor Patrick Wilson.
“Stay” opens with soft synths providing the basis behind echoing vocals. About halfway through the track, things pick up, as heavy guitar riffs crash in and the vocals take on a more powerful character.
So, how did “Stay” come together? As it turns out, actor, director, and Tony-nominated singer Wilson is a major Ghost fan. He saw the band live twice in 2022 and met up with frontman Tobias Forge while working on his directorial debut, Insidious: The Red Door.
Later, inspired by Ghost’s version of “Spillways” featuring Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott, Wilson reached out to Forge, who had been working on a version of Shakespears Sister’s “Stay.” The two then decided to collaborate on the cover,...

Bring Me the Horizon have released a new song called “AmEN!” featuring rapper Lil Uzi Vert and Glassjaw’s Daryl Palumbo. The song comes a week before Bmth’s headlining appearance at Download Festival in the UK.
“AmEN!” explodes with intense screams and an explosion of guitars and drums, as it features rapped verses by Lil Uzi Vert and dual vocals by Palumbo and Bmth vocalist Oli Sykes, exclaiming, “So tell all your friends/ This is the end of everything/ Too late to repent/ The wicked will reap what they sow.”
“AmEN!” follows another recently released single, the pop-punk flavored “LosT,” which arrived in early May. Of the two, “AmEN!” is certainly the heavier cut.
Look for Bring Me the Horizon to take both new songs on the road later this month when they kick off their North American tour supporting Fall Out Boy at the end of this month.
