With the announcement of their tenth studio album and first self-titled record, DragonForce mark the start of their next chapter, soaring headfirst into a new echelon of music-making that proves one thing above all: the world’s fastest band will not slow down. Arriving March 19th, 2027 on Napalm Records, produced by Jens Bogren and recorded across the US, UK, Canada and Sweden, DragonForce heralds a reintroduction to and continuous evolution of the preeminent pioneers of extreme power metal. Alongside freshly united lead vocalist and frontwoman Alissa White-Gluz and vocalist Alessio Garavello, longtime members Herman Li, Sam Totman, Gee Anzalone, Alicia Vigil and new addition Billy Wilkins together take their biggest step forward, elevating new sides to each of their artistry and virtuosic prowess, while building on all of the elements that have made DragonForce so beloved for nearly three decades and counting. Harkening back to their formative material, DragonForce promises high energy, relentless speed and heavy, triumphant hooks, all woven in ways unlike anything fans have heard from them before.
The era of DragonForce begins with the launch of new single “Hunger of The Beast,” debuting through a super-charged, ass-kicking live performance video. Written specifically for the multiple dimensions and double-sided skillsets of White-Gluz and Garavello’s ferocious range, the song serves as the first taste of the forthcoming album, summoning a similarly youthful, uninhibited spirit as the band’s classic “Through the Fire and Flames.” Pre-order the album and check out the single and video below!

Russian Circles, present “Eluvial,” the second single/video from their new album, Nine, out August 28th via Sargent House. Arriving on the heels of “Empath,” which “showcases the evolving toughness of Russian Circles’ sound,” (Consequence), “Eluvial” is Nine’s grand centrepiece. The patiently cataclysmic track is centred around the kind of ping-ponging delayed guitar patterns that Brian Eno and The Edge developed for The Joshua Tree, with guitarist Mike Sullivan slowly unfurling a winding, linear melody against the backdrop of drummer Dave Turncrantz’s Latin-rhythm-inspired groove and Brian Cook’s pairing of grinding bass and stuttering electronics. “Eluvial” slowly builds to an apex, leaving only the vaguest breadcrumb trail of obscured percussive and melodic motifs to the song’s final cleansing tempest. Check out “Eluvial” now and pre-order the album at the links below. Continue reading
