Too Late” is the first full statement from XTASY’s forthcoming studio album Phoenix, set for release on April 10, 2026, distributed worldwide by Art Of Melody Music / Burning Minds Music Group. The song perfectly captures the band’s renewed energy and sets the tone for what promises to be their most focused and ambitious release to date.

“Too Late” highlights everything that defines XTASY’s sound today. The track is co-written by Silvia Idoate, Carles Salse, Jorge Olloqui, and Erik Mårtensson, who also handled mixing and mastering at his Mass Destruction Studios in Sölleron, Sweden. The result is a song that combines emotional intensity with infectious hooks, representing what can be expected from the full album Phoenix.

Formed in Navarra, Spain, in 2011, XTASY have spent more than a decade building a solid international reputation across Europe and Japan through consistent releases, energetic live shows and a long-standing collaboration with Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse). Their upcoming album Phoenix represents the culmination of that journey: a collection of ten brand-new tracks, written during creative sessions in Sweden and showcasing a band at the peak of its creative confidence.

Phoenix also marks an important evolution in the band’s lineup, with the addition of Javi Herrero (Zenobia) on drums and David Zarzosa on bass, bringing fresh power, groove, and momentum to XTASY’s sound and live performances.

Following the success of their live CD/DVD Live of the Storm, which documented a 30+ date European tour, XTASY are now preparing to return to the stage with the Phoenix Tour, taking them across Europe throughout 2026. The tour will include festival appearances and club shows, further confirming XTASY as one of the most solid and exciting Melodic Hard Rock acts on the European Melodic Rock scene today.

Here is the first confirmed shows of the Phoenix tour:
21.02.26 – San Sebastian (ES) – Festival Heavy Jaia
14.05.26 – Barberaz (FR) – Brin de Zinc
15.05.26 – Basel (CH) – Valhalla Rock Bar

L'articolo xtasy ignite a new era with “Too Late”, the new single from the upcoming album Phoenix proviene da Scream For Existence.

Stockholm‐based rock powerhouse REACH return with their next rampage: Hell on Earth, arriving 21 November via Icons Creating Evil Art. The track is an unrelenting collision of melodic hooks, metal-fueled riffs and screams, an anthem for a world unsteady and unafraid, and for those of us still standing when the freaks are running the world with loaded guns.

Watch the video of “Hell on Earth“: https://youtu.be/qzSs-HdvaoQ

Listen to “Hell on Earth“: https://found.ee/hellonearth

“My god / You made a world out of misery / It ain’t hard / Giving in as a human being…” (lyric quote)

Hell on Earth addresses the thin line between generosity and taking for granted, between trust and complacency, during a time of transition, and the track pulses with that urgency. Band explains: – “Hell on Earth is a song about the current state of the world. It’s a heavier song for a heavier time.”

REACH are no strangers to international traction. Their 2024 album Prophecy charted new terrain: the single Mama Mama held heavy rotation at Germany’s major rock stations, Radio Bob, Star FM and Radio 21, while Swedish powerhouse Bandit Rock supported them with regular airplay. The band also toured extensively across Europe, sharpening their live intensity into a razor-sharp weapon.

This latest single marks a stylistic evolution: REACH embrace heavier textures, technical precision and emotional resonance, while maintaining their trademark melodic sensibility and vocal clarity (via frontman Ludvig). The forthcoming video underlines this shift, visual, direct and built to amplify the track’s cinematic scope. Filmed and directed by Damón Zurawski @futurelegendsfilms at the Icons Creating Evil Art studio. Band comments:  “We’re happy to be partnering up with Damón Zurawski for this one. It feels like the beginning of a great new partnership for us and we can’t wait to reveal what we’ve been working on.”

 Upcoming tour

The journey continues live: support slot with Eclipse across Europe starting end of November, bringing Hell on Earth from studio to stage. This is your invitation to witness REACH in full force as they break new ground and bring their next album chapter into focus.Tour dates for REACH supporting Eclipse (ticket link)

the brand new album out on December 5 2025

Also available the remastered reissue of the first album Melos

Preorder them now HERE

In ancient Greece, the word Chaire was used both to greet and to take leave, meaning “be well” or “take care.” This timeless spirit of connection and goodwill lies at the heart of this album.

Cervello were born in Naples (Italy) in the early 1970s, during the flourishing of Italy’s progressive rock scene. Alongside groups such as Osanna, Premiata Forneria Marconi (PFM), and Banco del Mutuo Soccorso, Cervello stood out with a unique voice, blending Mediterranean traditions, symphonic passages, and fearless experimentation.

Their debut album, Melos (1973), remains one of the most treasured gems of Italian prog. Centered around myths of ancient Greece, it intertwined mythological themes with bold instrumental interplay, acoustic textures, and avant-garde creativity. Though critically acclaimed, Melos would remain the band’s only studio work before they disbanded shortly after its release.

Despite their brief existence, Cervello’s influence never faded: Melos was rediscovered and embraced by generations of listeners around the world, becoming a true cult classic.

Now, fifty years later, Cervello return with Chaire, produced by Corrado Rustici,

Out on December 5 2025 released by Sony Music exclusively on CD and LP formats.

Preorder Chaire: https://bio.to/cervello

The album is based on songs written between 1974 and 1983, now lovingly arranged and recorded over the past four years by the surviving original members:

• Corrado Rustici – guitar, keyboards, vocals
• Antonio Spagnolo – bass, acoustic guitar, recorder, vocals
• Giulio D’Ambrosio – flute, saxophone, vocals
• Gianluigi Di Franco – lead vocals

With Roberto Porta on drums.

The irreplaceable voice and spirit of Gianluigi Di Franco (1953–2005) live on in this project. Thanks to recent advances in audio restoration, his performances, preserved on fragile two-track reels and cassettes, have been revived, allowing Chaire to exist both as a tribute and as a new creation.

“Over the past fifty years, these songs, written by me together with Gianluigi Di Franco between 1974 and 1982, had remained frozen in time: simple ideas recorded on cassette tapes and two-track reels, originally meant to become Cervello’s second album. After the band broke up, they fell into a kind of hibernation that, paradoxically, preserved the purity of their original spirit. Explains Corrado Rustici and continues: “Today, after all our human and musical experiences, I know it would have been impossible to recreate the innocence and creative direction of those times. Once again, technology opens new possibilities: what has happened over the past three years has allowed us to bring those ideas back to life, with Gianluigi’s voice. For me, it’s almost a miracle to hear his voice again, still innocently pure, shaping the melodies and giving meaning to this release and these songs. It took five years to complete these seven tracks, and I truly hope that all the fans who have followed us since 1973, all over the world, will enjoy this music. It is our way of thanking you for following and supporting us through all these years.”

To celebrate this return, Chaire is released together with a historic live recording from 1973, capturing Cervello performing pieces from their debut album along with a previously unreleased instrumental.

Alongside this release, a newly remastered edition of Melos (1973) will also be made available separately, ideally completing the band’s artistic journey.

Preorder Melos: https://bio.to/cervello

Two precious testaments linking the band’s legendary beginnings with its present-day rebirth.

Fifty years after Melos, Chaire stands as a testament to friendship, memory, and the timeless power of music, a greeting and a farewell, a gift from the past reborn for the present.

Swedish rock giants Eclipse are finally back on the road with the announcement of their brand-new Megalomanium Tour 2025. A journey that will take them through Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Switzerland, and Italy, this tour is more than just a series of shows, it’s a celebration of everything that makes Eclipse one of the most thrilling Rock bands of our time.

For over two decades, Eclipse have built their reputation on a sound that perfectly balances melody and power. Led by an unmistakable sound and a creative vision, the band has grown into a global force, capable of filling festival fields at Wacken, Download and Sweden Rock, sharing the stage with legendary acts like Aerosmith, Def Leppard and playing all over the World. This tour is the perfect opportunity for fans to experience that power up close, in the heat and intensity of Europe’s most iconic clubs.

Alongside them on the road, Eclipse are bringing two names that represent the vibrant wave of Swedish Hard Rock.

Reach, with a mix of contemporary and classic Rock sounds, have carved their own path on the European scene, standing out as one of the most creative and ambitious acts of their generation. Their latest album, Prophecy, showcases their adventurous spirit, a genre-fluid blend of theatrical arrangements, introspective lyrics, and spellbinding melodies.

Andy and the Rockets, on the other hand, embody the raw spirit of Hard Rock with a modern twist. Their songs are direct and loud, fueled by an energy that has quickly made them one of the most talked-about bands in Scandinavia. With their new album Casino set for release this October 2025, Andy and the Rockets are stepping onto this tour ready to ignite the stage with their explosive energy. 

The Megalomanium Tour 2025 is Eclipse at their very best, powerful, unstoppable, and ready to turn every night into the Music triumph.

Listen to “Cyanide”: https://song.link/s/1pHItwD3C528F5p6Q0nS5Y 

Preorder the album “Casino”:
CD: https://www.bengans.se/sv/artiklar/andy-and-the-rockets-casino.html
LP: https://www.bengans.se/sv/artiklar/andy-and-the-rockets-casino-2.html
AATR Minishop: https://www.bengans.se/sv/artiklar/minishops/andy-and-the-rockets/index.html

After kicking off 2025 with the emotionally charged “I’ll Die If You’re Done” (April 25) and the infectious anthem “Wild Ones” (May 16), the band continues its upward trajectory with “Cyanide”, a track that encapsulates the band’s signature fusion of Classic Rock roots and contemporary power.

The bassist Filip Westgärds declared: “Cyanide is a song about chasing the high of something you can’t control. It’s the thrill of passion wrapped in destruction, where every touch pulls you deeper and the line between love and self-destruction has completely blurred. In the autumn of 2024, Andreas Nyström sent me a draft of the lyrics, and I did all the melody and finished the song. We sent the demo to Erik Mårtensson and he made the song even better! After hitting the studio with the rest of the boys it truly feels like a real Rockets athem!”

Andy and the Rockets have come a long way since their early days, when their sound leaned toward retro Rock’n’Roll and rockabilly influences. Over the past few years, they’ve undergone a compelling transformation, blending their vintage soul with a punchy, modern rock approach that draws comparisons to acts like Foo Fighters, Volbeat, and Eclipse.

Their 2023 album INCOGNITO was a breakout moment, featuring standout tracks like “In Vain, Black Heart Gold”, and “I’ll Be There For You”. The record earned them strong streaming numbers, chart placements, and heavy rotation on Swedish Radio, where one of their singles became one of the most played songs of the decade.

With millions of streams and a growing international fanbase, the band has proven they’re more than just a local act. Their music has been featured on top editorial playlists, they’ve been championed by rock media across Europe, and they’ve become a staple on the live circuit, bringing their loud, sweaty, and stylish performances to both festivals and clubs.

Cyanide continues this evolution. Written by Filip Westgärds, Andreas Nyström, and Erik Mårtensson (Eclipse), and produced and mixed by Mårtensson at Mass Destruction Production, the song reflects the band’s current direction: tighter, heavier, more emotionally focused, and built for big stages.

With new music on the way and momentum on their side, 2025 is shaping up to be a defining year for the Swedish Hard Rockers Andy and the Rockets!

Here’s a real-world guide to choosing the best partner for your band’s next release.

1. Choose an agency that understands your genre

Hard rock and metal aren’t just sounds, they’re cultures, with their own language, fan behaviors, aesthetics, and expectations. A mainstream agency that mostly works with pop artists may not know the value of a 7-minute epic track or the nuances between deathcore and doom.

What to look for:

• An agency with experience in hard rock, heavy metal, or subgenres like prog, black, stoner, or melodic metal
• Past or current clients in the rock/metal scene
• A portfolio that includes outlets your fans actually read: Metal Hammer, Rock Hard, Loudwire, Decibel, etc.

Look for a custom approach, not a one-size-fits-all plan

Some agencies offer fixed packages and automated press blasts. These might work for mass-market artists, but not for bands who need a personal strategy. Your band has its own story, tone, audience, and goals — and your promotion should reflect that.

Ask the agency:

• Will you tailor the strategy to our genre, release type, and goals?
• Who writes the pitches and press releases and are they customized?
• How much direct communication will we have during the campaign?

Consider their reach and territory

If you’re trying to expand in Europe, North America, or Japan, make sure the agency has press and playlist connections in those regions. Some agencies are strong locally but lack international media networks, which limits your visibility beyond your own borders.

Look for:

• Multi-language press capabilities
• Media contacts across Europe, US, and Asia
• International Spotify pitching experience
• Knowledge of local radio, festivals, and blog scenes

Evaluate the services offered

A great agency should cover all the pillars of a successful release:

• PR and press outreach
• Spotify and playlist pitching
• Digital advertising (YouTube, Meta, Google)
• Social media strategy and content support
• Release planning and distribution guidance
• Label or distributor scouting (if needed)

If they only offer one piece of the puzzle (e.g., just PR or just social media), they might not be the right partner for a full campaign.

Do they live and breathe the scene?

This one’s intangible but important. The best results come when the people behind your campaign actually love the music. You want a team that speaks your language, understands the scene, and can talk to fans and media with authenticity.

Clues you’ve found the right one:

• They mention gear, bands, or labels that matter to you
• They get excited when they hear your track
• They don’t treat your music like “just another client”

Transparency, communication & results

Promotion is not magic, it’s strategy. The agency you choose should offer clear deliverables, timelines, and realistic expectations. They should also be available to answer questions, adjust strategies, and report on progress.

Ask them:

• How will we measure the campaign’s success?
• Do you provide updates and reports?
• How do you handle feedback and unexpected changes?

Final tip: trust, but verify

Don’t just go with the flashiest Instagram ad or biggest promise. Talk to past clients. Ask for examples. Review their work. And above all, choose a team that you respect as much as they respect your music.

Ready to build a campaign that fits your sound? Let’s talk

L'articolo How to choose the right promotion and marketing agency for your hard rock or heavy metal band proviene da Scream For Existence.

Know Your Subgenre, Know Your Audience

Before anything else, define who you are and who you’re speaking to.
Are you classic hard rock? Modern heavy metal? Doom? Thrash? Power metal? Your subgenre determines not only your sound but your look, tone, visuals, and most importantly — your target audience.

Action Tip: Create a moodboard or inspiration playlist with 3–5 reference bands. Study how they communicate online. What outlets feature them? Who’s their audience?

Build a Strong Press Kit

If you’re sending your music to blogs, labels, or promoters, you need a clean, professional EPK (Electronic Press Kit). It doesn’t need to be fancy, but it must include:

• High-resolution band photos
• Updated bio (short and long version)
• Links to music and videos
• Social media & streaming stats
• Contact info + press quote (if any)

Bonus: Have both a Google Drive, Dropbox or similar link and a downloadable .zip folder ready — make it easy for journalists and curators.

Plan Your Release Strategy (Don’t Just Drop It)

Whether it’s a single, EP or full-length album, you need a release timeline. Spontaneity is great for songwriting, not for promotion.
Start planning at least 6–8 weeks in advance:

• Create teaser content
• Announce the release gradually
• Pitch to Spotify using Spotify for Artists
• Contact blogs and radio stations
• Set up pre-save and pre-order campaigns

Your release date should be the climax, not the starting point.

Reach the Right Media Outlets

Not all press is created equal. Pitch your music to niche rock and metal blogs, fanzines, YouTube reviewers, and radio shows that are already into your sound.

Focus on outlets that:

• Cover your genre/subgenre
• Accept independent submissions
• Have an engaged following (comments, shares, etc.)
• Work in your geographic market (EU, US, South America, Asia, etc.)

Don’t send 100 cold emails. Send 25 smart ones.

Use Social Media Like a Story, Not a Sales Pitch

Your social media is where fans connect with your band beyond the music. It’s not just a place to scream “NEW SINGLE OUT!”
Show personality, process, passion.

Ideas that work:

• Rehearsal footage
• Behind-the-scenes photos
• Gear setups
• Lyric breakdowns
• Personal posts that resonate with your vibe

Consistency beats perfection. Don’t ghost your audience between releases.

Pitch to Spotify, But Think Beyond It

Spotify playlisting can help, but don’t depend on it alone. Use:

• Spotify for Artists to pitch editorially
• SubmitHub, Groover, or direct emails for user-curated playlists
• Bandcamp to connect with serious collectors
• YouTube for lyric videos, guitar playthroughs, or visualizers
• TikTok or Reels (yes, even for metal) to boost short-form awareness

And never forget the power of newsletters and physical formats. Vinyl, cassettes, and CDs still matter in rock and metal.

Invest in Targeted Ads (Even a Little Bit)

If you’ve got a decent video or single, run a targeted Instagram/YouTube ad campaign to metal and hard rock fans in your key countries.
Even €50–100 can make a difference if the targeting is right.

Run ads to:

• New video clips
• Spotify or Bandcamp links
• Tour announcements
• Merch drops

Bonus: Retarget fans who interacted with you in the past months.

Collaborate to Grow Your Audience

Collaboration is key. Work with:

• Guest musicians
• Other local or international bands
• Niche influencers or YouTubers
• Underground compilations or tribute albums
• Rock and metal podcasts

The more you interact with the community, the more that community responds.

So…
Promoting a hard rock or heavy metal band in 2025 isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about amplifying what makes you different in a way that your fans can feel.
Stay true to your sound, but don’t be afraid to be smart about your strategy.

You’ve already written the riffs. Now let’s make sure they get heard.
