Colorado’s rising metal storm Hel Hath Fury is set to strike with their new single, Halt Ragnarok , dropping March 13. Originally written in 2023, this track marks the band’s first step into forging their signature sound, evolving from basement recording experiments to a full professional production at Hahn Studios with the complete Hel Hath Fury lineup.

"Halt Ragnarok was our first song, and we spent countless hours learning how to record, mix, and master it ourselves," says the band. "Getting the chance to record it professionally was surreal and really brought our vision to life."

Upcoming Shows:

March 13 – Vultures, Colorado Springs with Burn the Myth & Darconigan

March 14 – Blo Back Gallery, Pueblo with Darconigan & Velociriffer

May 16 – Moe’s Original BBQ, Denver with When Darkness Falls, Human Paint & Cruxvae

Off-stage, Hel Hath Fury has been making waves as well. The band was featured in a Metal Devastation PR advertorial in Decibel Magazine Issue #256, and members Alexis and Sara have appeared on Metal Queens and Richard Metal Fan podcasts discussing their ambitions and approach to building a fanbase.

To keep the momentum rolling, the band plans to release a guitar and bass playthrough of Halt Ragnarok , giving fans an inside look at their ferocious sound. Looking ahead, Hel Hath Fury is plotting a short summer/fall tour and exploring festival opportunities across the country.

Vegas Un‑Alive Fest 2026 Brings Death Metal Mayhem to Sin City - @thebeast

Vegas Un‑Alive Fest 2026 Brings Death Metal Mayhem to Sin City


Las Vegas is about to get brutally un‑alive. Rising from the ashes of the now-legendary Las Vegas Deathfest, Vegas Un‑Alive Fest is kicking off its inaugural edition on March 20–21, 2026, and it promises a full-scale assault on the senses for extreme metal fans. Helmed by JJ Jackson of Moonshine Bandits and Dave Oshann of Trip to the Morgue, this festival is shaping up to be the city’s newest hub for chaos, carnage, and headbanging debauchery.

Set at the iconic Divebar (4110 S. Maryland Pkwy), the two-day festival will feature two stages and 25 bands from across the globe. Beyond the music, festival-goers can expect custom cars and bikes, tattoo artists, freakshow acts, firebreathers, and all the food and drink a metalhead could want.

Headliners That Hit Hard


Decrepit Birth will dominate the Death or Glory Stage on Saturday, March 21st. The Santa Cruz veterans are bringing their signature technical death metal and cosmic brutality on their “The Uncreation of Civilization West Coast Tour.” Expect hyper-technical riffing and jaw-dropping musicianship that live audiences have come to worship.



Sharing the Death or Glory Stage spotlight, The Convalescence bring their symphonic deathcore firepower. Celebrating a decade of venom with their "Celebrating 10 Years of Poison Word Tour," the band recently dropped a cinematic new video for “Bloodletter,” featuring a guest appearance by Ricky Myers of Suffocation .

Over on the Divebar Stage , Casket Robbery takes Saturday night by the throat. With industrialized death metal riffs and occult-tinged melodies, this Wisconsin act has been tearing up North America alongside Cannibal Corpse , Psycroptic , and Suffocation , and their sophomore album Rituals of Death cements their position as masters of horror-laden extreme metal.

Pessimist , Baltimore death-metal pioneers, co-headline the Divebar Stage with their first full-length in over 20 years, Keys to the Underworld . Fans can expect old-school thrash influences wrapped in a relentless, dark atmosphere that is both nostalgic and brutally fresh.

Friday night kicks off with Brazilian/Las Vegas crossover legends Claustrofobia , opening the Divebar Stage with a career-spanning set. Since forming in 1994, they’ve shared stages with Iron Maiden , Slayer , and Anthrax , leaving a trail of international fans in their wake.

AIRBUS Return with Explosive Fourth Album IMPERIAL GUNPOWDER Out March 7, 2026 via Spira Records - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

AIRBUS Return with Explosive Fourth Album IMPERIAL GUNPOWDER Out March 7, 2026 via Spira Records


Bristol UK and Los Angeles USA rock outfit AIRBUS are set to release their fourth studio album, IMPERIAL GUNPOWDER , on March 7, 2026. Landing via Spira Records , the record delivers ten powerful tracks that capture the band’s diverse, experimental edge while staying rooted in timeless rock songwriting.

Blending Rock, Experimental Rock, and a strong ’90s influence, AIRBUS carve out a sound that will resonate with fans of Blur , Fleetwood Mac , and Muse . Big hooks, dynamic shifts, and emotional depth collide across an album that feels both reflective and urgent.

IMPERIAL GUNPOWDER was recorded on both sides of the Atlantic. Early writing sessions took place in an ancient cottage in Portishead known as The Grange, where many of the album’s foundations were laid. The band further shaped their sound in a basement studio in Bristol before completing sessions in various studios across Los Angeles. The result is a record that feels lived in, atmospheric, and sonically expansive.

This is not a concept album. Instead, IMPERIAL GUNPOWDER is a collection of songs examining the inevitability of human nature. From large scale destruction to the quiet implosions within personal relationships, AIRBUS explore how self sabotage, conflict, and cyclical behavior seem hardwired into who we are. The album doesn’t preach. It observes. It reflects. And at times, it hits uncomfortably close to home.

The first video from the album, “Down To Earth,” is now available on the band’s official YouTube channel.

Recommended Singles for Radio:

Down To Earth

Oathbreaker

How

Just When I Get My Feet

AIRBUS continue to write and record, with additional new and archival material slated for release in the coming years.




About AIRBUS


AIRBUS formed in 1988 at Gordano School in Portishead when singer and songwriter Nick Davidge invited guitarist James Childs to jam during lunch breaks. Bonded by a shared love of rock music, the duo began trading riffs and crafting songs that would define the band’s early identity.

They were soon joined by drummer Chris Fielden and bassist Simon Hedges, completing a lineup that brought both technical strength and expressive experimentation to their sound. The band quickly gained attention in local and national press for their dynamic songwriting and commanding rhythm section.

The Face once praised the band’s choruses as “crashing in like the sound of God… one of the best new bands this year,” while Venue described them as “tight and energetic, with hooks galore, all drawn together by a phenomenal rhythm section.”

Nearly four decades after those early rehearsals, AIRBUS remain creatively restless, proving that evolution and authenticity can coexist.

Killswitch Engage Announce Massive Summer 2026 U.S. Headline Tour - @thebeast

Killswitch Engage Announce Massive Summer 2026 U.S. Headline Tour


Massachusetts metalcore titans Killswitch Engage are loading up the bus and taking no prisoners this summer. The band has officially announced a headline U.S. tour set to kick off June 3 in Detroit and wrap up June 27 in San Francisco, marking their first full U.S. run since last year’s Summer of Loud trek.

If you’ve been waiting to scream every word back at Jesse Leach, this is your moment.

The tour comes in support of their latest album This Consequence , out now via Metal Blade Records . The record has already made serious noise, fueled by the Top 5 single “I Believe,” which climbed to No. 3, and a successful Winter/Spring 2025 run that proved KsE are still swinging harder than ever.

A Lineup Built for Total Destruction


This isn’t just a tour. It’s a stacked bill that reads like a metal fan’s dream.

Joining KsE on the road:

Machine Head

Iron Reagan

Havok

Yes, that Machine Head. And yes, Robb Flynn is bringing the heat.

Jesse Leach didn’t hold back on the hype: he’s fired up to hit major cities with what he calls an absolutely killer lineup. With thrash fury, hardcore grit, and modern metal precision all packed into one bill, this one is built to electrify and dominate every stop.

Festival Appearances Included


Along the way, the tour will hit major festival stages, including:

Milwaukee Metal Fest

DC Warped Tour

Festival sets plus headline club and theater dates means fans get both the big-stage spectacle and the up-close chaos.

25 Years and Still Crushing


Formed in 2000 in Western Massachusetts, Killswitch Engage helped define early 2000s heavy music by fusing European-inspired guitar precision with East Coast hardcore intensity. Their 2002 breakthrough Alive or Just Breathing became a genre benchmark, while The End of Heartache earned gold certification and As Daylight Dies went platinum.

With three Grammy nominations, multiple Top 10 Billboard debuts, nearly 3 billion streams, and countless sold-out tours alongside the likes of Iron Maiden, Slipknot, and Slayer, KsE have long since moved from rising stars to certified pillars of modern metal.

Now celebrating 25 years as one of the most vital bands of the 2000s metal movement, they’re proving once again that consistency, passion, and road-warrior grit still matter.

Bottom line? This summer run is not a nostalgia lap. It’s a statement.

Killswitch Engage are back on the road, armed with a fresh record, a brutal supporting cast, and something to prove. If this tour rolls through your city, you already know what to do.
