California post-hardcore veterans Saosin have released a brand new song, "Starting Over Again", their first new music in more than a decade, along with the return of "Saosin Pt. 2" vocalist Cove Reber.
The band has stated with the announcement: “'Starting Over Again' is our first new music in over a decade, and it came from the fans calling for it and us realizing the timing finally felt right. The chemistry in this lineup is undeniable, and everything just clicked. This song is exactly what the title says. A reset, but with more clarity, more urgency, and way more fire behind it. It feels like the start of something big for us, not a throwback, but a step forward.”
Guitarist Phil Sgrosso (formerly of As I Lay Dying and Wovenwar) handled production of the new track alongside Saosin mainstay Beau Burchell. The band has also signed under Sumerian Records.
The band's previous studio effort featuring Reber was 2009's In S ...more

Bring Me The Horizon have announced a re-recording of their 2006 debut, Count Your Blessings, to mark the album's 20th anniversary.
Titled Count Your Blessings: Repented, the record is due for release on July 10 and will see BMTH head back to their deathcore roots, which they were quick to move on from after the original album's release. The band has described the re-recording as a "reactivation" and "recontextualization" of Count Your Blessings, rather than a straight retrospective look at it.
To promote the record, BMTH will be performing it in full in Manchester, UK, on release day as part of Outbreak Festival. Pre-orders of Count Your Blessings: Repented will include access to pre-sale tickets for the gig, which will feature support from Static Dress and Dying Wish.

When [European head of A&R] Aldo Lonobile and I heard the songs, they had begun recording for their first full-le ...more
Ukrainian post-smth-core band Septa are back with the new release titled On (Not) Losing Hope.
Recorded during the ongoing russian invasion of Ukraine and produced by Connor Sweeney (ex-Loathe), the two-track release captures the band at their most raw and introspective. If I Look Back I Am Lost and Let It Rip are two sides of the same coin — paralysis and release, despair and the stubborn refusal to surrender to it.
"This represents our collective state of mind being trapped in-between places, hoping for things that will never come, reminiscing about our loss," says vocalist Eugene Tymchyk. "Not a huge comeback — but something more reflective of the world, the times, the country, the band."

Doom metal/stoner rock act Monolord returned with a new single called "You Bastard", from their upcoming album Neverending.
According to the band, their 6th studio album is a culmination of all of their previous work. It will be riff heavy but a little bit more structured and polished. This time they recruited Sylvia Massy, known for her work with Tool and System of a Down, to help bring shape to several demos and ideas. They recorded 11 songs in total, 8 which will be included in the new album.
On March 31st Balmora dropped their single “Ophelia” off their upcoming album These Graven Halls. It’s the first song they’ve released with their new vocalist Paul Cole, who replaced Senti earlier this year. The track also features Brie Percy of the band Holder. Guitarist Jay Torblaa said of the single, “Ophelia is a story of betrayal, heartbreak, revenge, and forgiveness. It’s meant to highlight the nature of initial anger, action, and remorse in a hanging balance system.”
When asked about the record they said this, “Influences pull from the obvious like The Black Dahlia Murder and On Broken Wings to a mix of media, classical, and modern music - Requiem For A Dream, Silent Hill, Philip Glass, Bladee.”
“Ophelia”:

Converge have just announced their second full-length album release of 2026, titled "Hum of Hurt" and due out June 5, following closely in the footsteps of their previous 2026 release "Love Is Not Enough". The title track's music video can be streamed below.
Though recorded during the same sessions as "Love Is Not Enough", Hum of Hurt is not a sequel. “When we came together to write, we ended up with a wealth of material,” the band's vocalist Jacob Bannon explains. “As work progressed we realized we had created two separate albums, and treated them as such.”
“The unifying musical idea early on was, ‘Let’s make a noise rock album.’ But we never really did. The first one wasn’t. This one touches on that spirit, but it’s much more dynamic than that descriptor. To me, it leans more into being ...more
Bohan Daniel Lueders, co-founder of Chicago hardcore punk band Harm's Way, and co-host of the Hardlore podcast has passed away at the age of 38. The news was reported by Colin Young, the other half of the Hardlore podcast. Writing "It is with heavy, broken hearts that we share that our beloved Bo Lueders has passed away."
No cause of death was given, but the suicide and crisis lifeline was linked at the end of the caption.
Bo founded Harm's Way in 2006 after playing in many Chicago hardcore bands in the years prior. Originally a side project of The Few and Proud. The band went on to release 5 albums and 5 EPs, with a new studio release on the way in 2026.
No further statements as to the future of Harm's Way or Hardlore were given; simply asking for "grace and privacy as we navigate this extremely difficult time."

New York punk rockers Prince Daddy and the Hyena have released a prom-inspired music video for 24-03-04_Birthday_B4, the 2nd single from their upcoming 4th album Hotwire Trip Switch.
The album reunites the band with Joyce Manor and Modern Baseball producer Joe Reinhart, who produced PDATH's debut album I Thought You Didn't Even Like Leaving a decade ago.
The only constant is change. Don't trust everything you read. Money doesn't buy happiness. You're probably familiar with these truisms, but after Afroman was fully vindicated by a jury on March 18, I propose a new one: Don't toss Afroman bullshit.
Afroman and his family were the victims of a spurious police raid back in 2022 when the Adams County Sheriff's office raided his home on suspicion of kidnapping and drug dealing (apparently thanks to a bunk confidential informant). No evidence was ever mounted for either and Afroman was never charged. But as anyone who's ever had to seriously deal with the cops can attest to, it's a traumatic experience. So Afroman spent the ensuring years coming out with tracks blasting the officers involved in the dubious raid.
These songs led seven officers to sue Afroman for defamation in 2023. But despite this added injustice, Afroman persevered and released this amazing music video just before the defamation trial. ...more

Mysterious Australian artist Cenobia drops another track entitled "Make Us Whole Again".
The third track from the mysterious one member project hints at a deeper lore tying the three existing songs together. Featuring more dark gothic imagery and a lower tempo, the single lacks the aggression of the two previously released tracks.
