Fresh off her historic win at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards, singer-songwriter EJAE (KPop Demon Hunters) has released her new song “Time After Time,” via Universal Records. “Time After Time” is an infectious heartbreak anthem with lyrics that reflect on a relationship that still lingers, capturing the all-too-familiar cycle of thinking about a former lover long after the relationship has run its course.
"Time After Time" demonstrates EJAE's evolution as a solo pop artist, moving beyond her storied work in K-pop to showcase her distinctive voice and generational songwriting abilities. The track captures her signature ability to create melodies that resonate globally while maintaining authentic emotional depth. Speaking about writing the song, EJAE said “The melody of ‘Time After Time’ was stuck in my head for years, just like the person I wrote it about.”
The track arrives after EJAE made history at the 2026 GRAMMY Awards when her breakout global hit “Golden” from the film KPop Demon Hunters won Best Song Written for Visual Media, becoming the first K-pop song to ever win a GRAMMY. The song previously won a Golden Globe and Critics’ Choice Award, and is nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
“Time After Time” is now available to stream on all platforms HERE.

Austin, Texas-based blackened speed metal unit SADISTIC FORCE are proud to unleash their new music video for the title track of their recently released EP, 'Morbid Odyssey.' The new video, shot and edited by David Coloma, is premiering via Decibel Magazine.
On the video for "Morbid Odyssey," SADISTIC FORCE shares:
"We spent two plus weeks ripping blackened speed metal across the Midwest with Graveripper, and this video is what crawled out of that run. Each night, Steve from Graveripper stormed the stage with this life-size, eye-glowing, smoke-belching skull and spine bong prop, and the room instantly lost its mind. No buildup, no warning—just pure road madness. He was literally the dude on the cover of our recent EP come to life. Smoke ’em remains."

Oikoumen is a human-centered orchestral progressive symphonic project. It shares visceral emotions, often dark, always committed, through intense, embodied music, where the orchestra serves emotion. The project is led by Élie Veux on composition and guitar, Laura Mazard on lyrics, vocals and artistic direction, and Yaël Febvray on bass and synthesizers. The first album "Dystopia" was released in 2022, marking the true beginning of the project.
French band already released a music video for a song "Reign of Idiocy" from their upcoming album, which is scheduled for release on April 17, 2026.
Music for upcoming album was recorded, mix & mastered by Julien Prost. New single is available for listening at all popular streaming platforms (link here). Below you can watch video to the new song which was filmed at Cité du Cinéma in Saint-Denis near Paris.
This is how Laura comments new song: "Reign of Idiocy is a symphonic metal song about school bullying, seen through the eyes of the victim with a powerful and violent intensity we tried to capture with grandiose orchestras, energetic riffs, and vocals deployed like a tear-stained scream".

ATREYU return with “Ego Death,” a bruising but cathartic new track that digs into the idea of shedding who you were to become who you’re meant to be. Built on crushing riffs, a surging groove, and a massive, melodic hook, the song balances the band’s heaviest instincts with one of their most emotionally resonant choruses to date. As the band puts it, “Sometimes a piece of you has to die in order for you to truly live. 'Ego Death' is peace.” The single arrives alongside a music video for "Ego Death" found HERE.
