TEASER SWEET - New Album "Night Stalker" in April 2025 through High Roller Records - Music Video Premiere
 Sweden's TEASER SWEET have revealed the first single from their upcoming fourth full-length album Night Stalker, coming on April 25th 2025 via High Roller Records.
A video clip for the track "Deep in the Woods" is available here: https://youtu.be/zeJGL8Jnpm0
Consisting of vocalist Therese Damberg, her brother Marcus Damberg on guitar, Hampus Steenberg on bass and Kent Svensson behind the drums, TEASER SWEET have already made some waves in the Swedish metal scene. They originally started out in 2013 and after recording a demo, they took to the stage and eventually released three albums and an EP: "Hit And Run" (2015), "In The Night" (EP, 2017), "Hypnotized" (2018) and "Monster" (2020). For the new album "Night Stalker" the band has inked a deal with High Roller Records.
Apart from being influenced by the music of Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Dio and even latter-day Europe, a song like “Deep in the Woods”, with its galloping bass work, owes a lot to Iron Maiden. Elsewhere, numbers such as “Cold is the Fire” and “Turn Me on” are also full of great hooks, making "Night Stalker" the band’s best album so far.

VIGILHUNTER - New Single / Lyric Video Release - Debut Album via High Rolller in March 2025
 Italy's VIGILHUNTER have revealed another song from their self-titled debut album, coming on March 28th 2025 via High Roller Records on all formats.
A lyric video for "Titan Glory" is premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/CB_E5J8FmvQ
VIGILHUNTER was founded by vocalist / guitarist Alexx Panza, aiming to create late 80s US Heavy Metal with a prog-ish touch. With the help of bassist Mirko Negrino, who played a key role in bringing the songs and vision to life, the line-up was completed by Marcello “Cell” Leocani on drums and Mattia Itala on lead and rhythm guitar.
Their self-titled debut album is packed with screaming guitar riffs, high-pitched vocals, and a powerful yet dynamic approach to songwriting. It consists of 8 tracks, aiming to revive the lost art of US Heavy Metal, which many old-school metal fans still regard as the pinnacle of the genre for its untamable power and class.

WOMBBATH - New Album "Beyond The Abyss" via Pulverised Records - Track Premiere
 Swedish death metallers WOMBBATH have announced their new and seventh overall studio album "Beyond The Abyss", set for release on March 14th 2025 via Pulverised Records on CD, LP and in digital formats.
It was recorded, mixed & mastered at Studio Unbound by Jonny Pettersson and features a cover artwork by Julian Felipe Mora Ibañez (Consumption, Molder, Witchtrap, etc).
Get ready for the band’s most aggressive material to date. It pushes the progressive elements first displayed on the predecessor "Agma" (2021), but at the same time results in the most old school sounding album since the early days of WOMBBATH. Where "Agma" was fairly clean, "Beyond The Abyss" is dark, filthy and, in a way, more organic. With one foot in the early days of death metal and one foot in the future.
The album’s title track has been premiered at this location: https://youtu.be/Exl-oTJRlsk
Tracklist:
01. Intro
02. Words Unspoken
03. A Symphony Of Dread

CHRISTIAN MISTRESS - New Track Premiere - New Studio Album "Children Of The Earth" coming via Cruz Del Sur Music
 CHRISTIAN MISTRESS have premiered another song from their first studio album in ten years, "Children Of The Earth", coming on February 28th 2025 through Cruz Del Sur Music on CD, LP and in digital versions.
You can listen to "Lake of Memory" here: https://youtu.be/DiFxEqxZH08
"Children Of The Earth" blends traditional metal glory with pure, old-school conviction. It was recorded as a four-piece in the band's native Olympia, Washington on 4-track half-inch reel-to-reel at High Command Studio.
The album finds CHRISTIAN MISTRESS reaffirming their position as one of North America’s finest traditional metal bands - a unique combination of the old-school paired with energetic, dueling guitar work and the imitable vocals of Davis. Davis feels "Children O The Earth" is now the “line in the sand” that separates it from previous efforts. As a result, the album sounds like the band’s classic setup, yet the guitars and vocals have more in common this time around.
The "Children of the Earth" title ties to the thread of the lyrics throughout the rest of the songs. The idea for the album came from ancient writings found on a gold tablet or orphic inscription in an unmarked grave within a large necropolis in southern Italy. It is thought to be one of the oldest items of writing ever found.
Cover artwork by Lauren O’Conner.
Tracklist:
1. City of Gold
2. Voiceless
3. Demon’s Night
4. Love of the World
5. Mythmaker
6. Death Blade
7. Lake of Memory
8. Shadow
Line-up:
Christine Davis - Vocals
Jonny Wulf - Guitar / Bass
