Brazilian musician Ernane Laranjo — known for his work with Soturn and as one of the pioneers of Avant-Garde Metal in Brazil — returns with his experimental project Bizarre Bathtub Battle , releasing the explosive new single “Xpace Invaders.” This track builds upon the project’s self-titled debut, amplifying its chaotic brilliance with a heavier and more aggressive sound. Born from Bizarre Bathtub Battle’s unique DNA, “Xpace Invaders” takes the listener through a labyrinth of distorted riffs, unpredictable transitions, and a fierce critique of today’s so-called modern visionaries — those who turn failure into innovation, vanity into strategy, and empty promises into headlines. As Ernane sharply states: “In the end, it’s all a circus — and you are the clown in the audience. Or worse, the worker who set up the tent and still pays for a ticket.” Blending Avant-Garde Metal, Jazz Swing, Big Band , and touches of psy trance, dark cabaret, and extreme metal , ...

Following the release of “UN-PAIN” on March 31, 2025, Indonesian Metalcore musician RICKY BAGJA returns with a powerful new single titled “SCARS.” The track captures the essence of emotional wounds — pain, sorrow, anger, disappointment, and loss — feelings too deep to be expressed through words. Unlike his previous instrumental works, “SCARS” presents a calmer and more minimalistic approach in both riffs and melodies, while still retaining Ricky Bagja’s signature Metalcore foundation — the same sonic strength that runs through his earlier releases such as IMMOLATION , Dynamics , Supernova , Epimoni , Eternal Abyss , and UN-PAIN. “SCARS” was first released on August 30, 2025 , via YouTube , and is now available on all major digital streaming platforms. Through its emotional instrumental expression, the track invites listeners to connect deeply and interpret the pain in their own personal way.

BRUSQUE-SC, Brazil – Brazilian Heavy Metal act ELYRA has officially unveiled their long-awaited debut single and music video, “Married with the Devil” , marking the beginning of a new era that intertwines symphonic, gothic, and modern metal influences. With a deeply emotional artistic purpose, ELYRA seeks to be both a comforting presence and an outlet for those struggling with their own battles and inner demons. “Married with the Devil” exposes the painful truth of an abusive relationship — a story that begins as a fairytale but gradually descends into darkness. The “devil” serves as a powerful metaphor for an aggressive, manipulative man who conceals his true nature until the deception becomes unbearable. The lyrical persona eventually awakens, confronts the reality, and transforms her pain into strength — a powerful message of courage, liberation, and resilience. “I’m excited and anxious about this release. I hope to reach as many people as possible, especially wo...
