French master of cinematic dark synth Hollywood Burns (aka Emeric Levardon) has released new single “Saturday Night Screamer” with a stunning video, taken from his upcoming album “The Age of the Saucers”, set for release on November 12th, 2021, via Blood Music.

Filmed in a disused particle accelerator near Paris, watch the video for “Saturday Night Screamer” below.

Prolific shapeshifters Hail Spirit Noir, of Greek origin, discard their progressive robes to celebrate their 10th anniversary with a one-off, emotional, horror-like and disco-driven album, “Mannequins”. The record is slated for a September 10th, 2021, release on Agonia Records.

Gost, the “dark synthwave frontrunner” (Kerrang!), has set an August 13th, 2021, release date for his new album, “Rites of Love and Reverence”, via Century Media Records.

“I have recently been fixated on the subject of witchcraft and its effect on women throughout history”, explains Gost. “I myself practice rituals to help clear my mind and focus on my day to day endeavors. This curiosity into witchcraft’s history and my own traditions combined to inspire the new album”.

Perturbator, aka James Kent, returns with his highly-anticipated new full-length album, “Lustful Sacraments” (Blood Music) on May 28th, 2021.

Watch the video for the new single “Death of the Soul” below. Kent said of the song: “The track takes inspiration from old school EBM a la DAF or Front 242, Valnoir (Metastazis) has managed to perfectly pair visuals that reflect the nihilistic tone of it”.

Vancouver, Canada based Unleash The Archers were formed in late 2007 by vocalist and front-woman Brittney Slayes, together with her partner and the band’s drummer Scott Buchanan. Spanning the gap between various forms of metal, genre-blending has become their speciality, and the resulting product is a potent mix of intelligent song-writing and technically versatile musicianship.

Long Island, NY’s Magic Dance will return with their new album, “Remnants” on December 4th, 2020. This album offers up more of the band’s signature ‘80s influenced sound that they are now known for, but at the same time brings a distinct contemporary edge. Performed with absolute genuine emotion and conviction, it’s hard not to be swept up and carried away in these mesmerizing songs. The power of the melodies and the entrancing sound really stick with the listener throughout the entire album.

Palace, the brainchild of Swedish vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Michael Palace, returns on December 4th, 2020, with the excellent new melodic rock album “Rock and Roll Radio”.
