Shortly after completing their "Sleepless Empire EU/UK Tour", Italian metal icons Lacuna Coil continue their live momentum with the announcement of their "Sleepless Empire US Tour", which is set to start in March 2026. With this run of dates, the band brings their signature dark atmosphere and the emotional intensity of Sleepless Empire to stages across North America:

Lacuna Coil return to the US with special guests Escape The Fate, as well as VOWWS (Mar. 24 – Apr. 13, 2026) and AXTY (Apr. 15 – Apr. 29, 2026). The tour is set to start in New York on March 24th and concludes in Albany on May 1st.

The announcement comes with a corresponding new official video for "Hosting the Shadow", that shows Lacuna Coil in full force during their set at Aftershock festival in October 2025. Joining them on stage is Lamb Of God front-man Randy Blythe, who is featured on the album track.

"Filming the video for 'Hosting The Shadow' at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience. Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he's also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage - I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever, ha ha! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!" - Cristina Scabbia

The track stands out as one of the most powerful moments on Sleepless Empire, and the video captures the raw energy and uncompromising presence of the band on stage.

CLAUSTROFOBIA, coming off their third national US tour, waste little time and deliver another punch of new music with “AQUI NÃO.” The standalone new number is vicious attack sung in the group’s native Portuguese with a special surprise Brazilian guest -  Ratos de Porao singer João Gordo. The song is available now on all streaming/download digital platforms, or watch the entertaining animated video clip HERE https://youtu.be/QNdmZveCPfM?si=vuAgr5HNFOPIGtty.

“‘AQUI NÃO’ is a 100% Brazilian Thrash–Core–Death crossover, with an acidic lyric that sparks identification on different levels, but above all makes it clear that we will never be contaminated by human traps — amplified by the virtual world and dominant in today’s landscape,” states singer/guitarist Marcus D’Angelo.

“The track reinforces that we do not give up our principles, even at a time when everyone seems forced to surrender or adapt to some convenient rule. And nothing could be more appropriate than calling João Gordo from the legendary Ratos de Porao, the absolute master of Brazilian Punk/Hardcore, to vociferate this resistance with us, spreading discomfort exactly where it deserves to be felt.”

João Gordo, vocalist of Ratos de Porão, adds “Man, it’s an honor for me to take part in a Claustrofobia track. I’ve already collaborated on songs with almost every major metal band in Brazil — Sepultura, Krisiun, Nervosa — and I always said, ‘damn, man, the only one missing was Claustrofobia.’ When I heard the song, I thought it was killer.

Claustrofobia is one of the strongholds of angry metal in Brazil — truly furious. I’ve seen their show from the side stage and was blown away by the fury, the rage, and the fire in the eyes of these two brothers. Being part of this song was a pleasure. It’s a conscious track, with strong lyrics, you know? And sung in Portuguese, which I value a lot, especially being performed here in our own country. That’s it. Not much else to say. It’s fucking heavy.”

Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson today announced a co-headlining tour across North America, taking place this summer. The tour unites two of rock’s most recognizable icons and consummate showmen for what promises to be a blockbuster 21-date run. It kicks off on August 20 in West Palm Beach, FL at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre, rolls through major markets such as Boston, Chicago, Detroit, and more before concluding on September 20 in Concord, CA at Toyota Pavilion at Concord. The tour will also feature Gold-certified Mongolian metal collective The Hu and Multiplatinum-selling Los Angeles industrial rock stalwarts Orgy as special guests on all dates.

Today, the mighty KREATOR have unleashed their highly anticipated 16th studio album Krushers Of The World! 

Featuring 10 hard-hitting anthems, the album enhances the band's unmistakable classic thrash metal sound by boldly embracing modern elements wrapped in an uncompromising, massive production by acclaimed producer Jens Bogren.

Krushers Of The World showcases KREATOR at the peak of their creative force — furious, precise, and more relevant than ever. The album bridges decades of thrash metal legacy with a contemporary edge that pushes the genre forward.

Coinciding with the album release, KREATOR have premiered the official music video for the title track "Krushers Of The World." 

Set in a post-apocalyptic Berlin, the video paints a grim yet striking vision of a world on the brink, capturing themes that feel more urgent and topical than ever.

With Krushers Of The World, KREATOR once again prove why they remain one of the most influential and vital forces in metal.

Mille Petrozza comments, "Hordes! Krushers Of The World is yours now! We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do. See you on tour!"

After dominating 2025 with their explosive new album I Feel The Everblack Festering Within Me (named one of the best of the year by Kerrang, Metal Hammer and Loudwire), Lorna Shore is ready to do it all over again in 2026 with a massive global tour that kicks off January 23 in Germany and heads into the spring with newly announced dates just added for North America.

Lorna Shore will be joined by Paleface Swiss and Signs Of The Swarm for the North American run, which begins April 17 in Buffalo, NY and runs through May 22 in Montclair, NJ, alongside festival appearances at Welcome To Rockville and Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival. See the full tour dates below.

Alongside today’s tour announcement, Lorna Shore also releases the latest taste of their critically acclaimed new album with the single and video for “In Darkness.” See the music video, directed by David Brodsky for My Good Eye, HERE.

Says frontman Will Ramos of the song, “'In Darkness' is about growing up feeling distant from everyone, a song about anxiety and being an outcast (as many of us metal fans grow from). It’s a song about embracing that outlandish and ostracized feeling. Knowing that we have grown in the shadows, the darkness of the world, but accepting that through that darkness we have become.”

Explosive hard rock band DOGMA return to the States this Spring on the Time to Rise Pt. 1. U.S. Tour 2026 with special guests Frayle.  Kicking off on March 15 in Seattle, WA, and wrapping on April 3 in Philadelphia, this leg of the tour will see the group perform on key dates in New York City, Washington, D.C., San Diego, Dallas, and more.  Full dates are below.  

Frontperson Lilith says, “Last October and November, during our last U.S tour dates, we carried a message that was still taking shape. Some paths were broken before they could be completed, and certain cities were left waiting. That tension did not fade. It stayed with us, sharpened us, and demanded a proper return.”

She continues, “Time to Rise Part I U.S. Tour 2026 emerges from that demand. What comes next carries intention, consequence, and elements that will not announce themselves in advance. There will be moments you are not prepared for, choices you didn’t plan to make, impulses you didn’t expect to feel, and yet, you will feel them. Anaheim and Reno are part of that reckoning. To the sinners who remained present despite uncertainty: this chapter is written with you in mind. What rises now does so with purpose, weight, memory… and temptations that will test how far you’re willing to go.”
