70000TONS OF METAL, The Original, The World’s Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise, has announced a change in the destination for its 2026 voyage. The upcoming edition of the festival at sea, taking place from January 29 to February 2, 2026, will now sail from Miami, Florida to Nassau, the Bahamas aboard Royal Caribbean’s Freedom of the Seas.
Originally planned to return to Labadee, Haiti, the decision to reroute the journey was made out of an abundance of caution and with the well-being of all Sailors, artists, and crew as the top priority.
The twisted, theatrical metal maestros RAVEN BLACK return with their most sinister sonic offering yet:
“This Little Piggy”, a blood-curdling single that drags listeners screaming through a chaotic swirl of power, vengeance, and grotesque reckoning. Out now on all streaming platforms,
“This Little Piggy” marks a vicious new chapter in the band’s macabre mythology.
Power metal warriors WARKINGS descend into the shadows with their final anthem from their upcoming album, Armageddon, out this Friday via Napalm Records! The haunting new track, “Hangman’s Night”, features Dr. Dead of rising horror metal act Dominum and marks a dramatic turn into the shadows.
“Hangman’s Night” tells the haunting tale of once-mighty Templar knights, betrayed and condemned as heretics. Beneath the glow of a blood-red moon, the unit awaits the gallows—not with fear, but with unyielding brotherhood and grim resolve. Underlined by sharp guitar riffs cut through thunderous drums, relentless rhythms, and empowering gothic flair, the song drags listeners into the final stand of the fallen—will they fight for glory, or embrace the noose?
The UK might have been gripped by a heatwave of late, but BLOODSTOCK has some news that’s even hotter, revealing a whopping seventeen more bands set to take to the Timothy Taylor New Blood stage in just a few weeks time.
With the winners of the grass-roots-supporting Metal 2 The Masses finals ranging from Somerset to Poland, your new favourite band might be lurking right here, so do check out any names you aren’t already familiar with and get excited for what’s in store!
Heavy Metal legends Saxon are sorry to announce the immediate cancellation of 10 Summer shows and Festival appearances while singer Biff Byford undergoes an emergency procedure.
The recovery period for the operation will sadly mean the immediate cancellation/postponement of 10 shows across a six-week period. As a result, the band will regretfully now not be performing at the below scheduled shows including their much anticipated upcoming performances at Wacken Open Air, Pol’And’ Rock, Summer Breeze, Ekenäs, Area 53 and Öland Rock Festivals.
Just weeks after announcing their new live release Wildlive (Live at Olympiahalle) (out March 6, 2026 via Napalm Records), POWERWOLF are once again sending fans into a frenzy by unveiling brand-new live dates for 2026! Coinciding with the album release, the #1 charting heavy metal titans will bring their monumental production to the biggest arenas across Europe on the Wake Up The Wicked Tour 2026, joined by none other than HammerFall and Wind Rose as special guests.
