LORD OF THE LOST Indulge in Darkness with Multifaceted New Single “Bazaar Bizarre”
| LORD OF THE LOST indulge in darkness with the complex “Bazaar Bizarre”, the latest single off their upcoming studio album OPVS NOIR Vol. 1, out this Friday, August 8, 2025 via Napalm Records. Appropriately opulent, the album opener “Bazaar Bizarre” immediately proves the bands’ sonic recalibration, re-adding their early edge to create somber mysticism in irresistible guise. LORD OF THE LOST hauntingly unite the children of the night in a sophisticated anthem, reassuring: No one lost behind. “Bazaar Bizarre” ornately crafts a new doorway into LORD OF THE LOST’s ever expanding universe – a testament to their ability to constantly uncover new angles while staying true to their roots. Following the success of their #1 album Blood & Glitter (Official German Album Charts) and their celebrated appearance in the finals of the Eurovision Song Contest 2023, LORD OF THE LOST continue to push boundaries with unmatchable versatility. OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 is the first album of an exciting album trilogy, featuring several strictly limited special editions. Chris Harms on “Bazaar Bizarre”: “‘Bazaar Bizarre’ is too long, too complex, and too weird to be an album opener—almost like a mix between an acoustic hidden-object painting by Hieronymus Bosch, Apocalypse Now, and the underground troll market from the Hellboy universe. Everything hurts and is somehow eerie, but at the same time too fascinating to want to escape. We could’ve picked a simple and accessible song to kick things off—but we didn’t want that. We wanted a long cinematic trailer for the ears, one that instantly makes it clear what kind of world all three parts of OPVS NOIR will drag you into. And ‘Bazaar Bizarre’ captures that perfectly—sonically, and in the music video, also visually—covering the full spectrum of our upcoming trilogy.” |

What is the essence of LORD OF THE LOST in 2025? That is one of the questions OPVS NOIR Vol. 1 fearlessly begins to answer. Once again, the band proves not only musical excellence but also masterful craftsmanship: produced by Chris Harms, recorded, mixed, and mastered at the legendary CHAMELEON STUDIOS in Hamburg, the 11 tracks hit with a force and brilliance that immediately transport us into a dark yet colorful ballroom. From there, the tone is set: Dark Wave Metal on an amphitheater scale.
Chris Harms about the album:
“Darkness, melancholy, loneliness – all words that often have negative connotations, that we may associate with danger, sadness and loss, and not without reason. But darkness can also be security, melancholy the warm and sentimental feeling of our memories, and loneliness becomes necessary silence, peace and inner contemplation. OPVS NOIR is a travel guide, or perhaps also a travelogue, through the dark sides of our inner world, which so often move precisely in the area of tension between what we emotionally categorize as positive or negative. And with Vol. 1, all of this is just the beginning of this 3-part journey…”
DRAGONFORCE’s Marc Hudson Teams Up With Netflix Hit “Dan Da Dan” For Demonically Showstopping Voice Acting Performance
DRAGONFORCE and pop culture have always gone hand in hand—so frontman Marc Hudson’s latest collaboration with the hit anime TV show “Dan Da Dan” is total perfection! The charismatic singer lends his voice to Hayashi in the English dub of the Netflix show, delivering an impressively commanding exorcism through the power of heavy metal music. Episode six of season two of “Dan Da Dan”—episode 18 overall—releases on Netflix and Crunchyroll on August 7, 2025.
MARC HUDSON about the collaboration:
“I’m beyond thrilled to announce that I had the incredible opportunity to be a voice actor in Dan Da Dan—one of my all-time favourite anime series! I play the role of the vocalist for Hayashi in Season 2, Episode 6, and getting to perform the exorcism song as part of the character was an absolute blast. After making Starbound Stories, an album deeply inspired by anime, I was so happy to be invited to actually sing on an anime—it felt like everything had come full circle. This show is wild, creative, and full of heart, and it was a real privilege to be a part of it. As the vocalist of DRAGONFORCE, I’ve had the chance to perform on some amazing songs and albums, but this was a whole new and exciting experience. I can’t wait for everyone to see the episode!”
Marc Hudson just released his latest album with Grammy-nominated extreme power metal band DRAGONFORCE via Napalm Records last year. Warp Speed Warriors stands as the legendary band’s most ambitious and innovative release to date. On it, founding guitarists Herman Li and Sam Totman, singer Marc Hudson, bassist Alicia Vigil, and drummer Gee Anzalone explore a wider range of varying musical styles than ever before, evolving their sound throughout the exciting musical journey while still staying true to their roots.
Herman Li on Warp Speed Warriors:
“After four years of creative incubation, we are beyond excited to release what we believe to be our most ambitious and grandiose record yet. This album showcases multiple facets of our artistic abilities, and we invite metal aficionados from every corner of the genre to discover something captivating within its layers. We can’t wait to share this chapter of our musical journey with you, it’s going to be EPIC!”
Likewise, Marc Hudson put out his solo debut via Napalm Records in 2023. Starbound Stories is an outstanding musical adventure balanced between power metal, video game soundtracks, Japanese music and even pop influences, showcasing virtuosity throughout all of its grand instrumentation. For the album, Marc Hudson again worked with ex-DRAGONFORCE bassist Frédéric Leclercq who has since moved on as a member of thrash legends Kreator and extreme metal supergroup Sinsaenum.
Rockshots Records – Canada’s IN/VERTIGO Release New Video “Weathervane” Off New EP “Prevail” Out Now!
Following the release of their explosive single “Save Me”, Canadian hard rockers IN/VERTIGO continue to turn up the heat with their brand-new track “Weathervane,” now available on all digital platforms.
Built on swaggering riffs, pounding drums, and a fiercely melodic chorus, “Weathervane” showcases a more anthemic side of the band, without losing their trademark grit. Lyrically introspective yet musically defiant, the track explores the chaos of navigating life’s shifting winds, staying true to yourself amidst uncertainty.
The single is taken from their new EP “Prevail,” released last July 18th, 2025, and is accompanied by a high-energy official music video capturing the band’s raw and playful spirit.
Formed in 2016, IN/VERTIGO has earned a loyal following with their high-octane performances and no-nonsense rock attitude. Having shared the stage with rock legends like Buckcherry, Steel Panther, and Diamond Head, the band continues to prove why they are one of the most electrifying names in modern hard rock.
For fans of: Guns N’ Roses, Buckcherry, Airbourne, AC/DC
Watch the video:
Delivering their shows at jet-engine volume, IN/VERTIGO have made an unmistakable impact in the Canadian rock scene. Their self-titled demo, produced by Ronnie Champagne (Alice In Chains, Jane’s Addiction), quickly sold out, and their debut EP “Sex Love & Chaos” introduced a band ready to raise hell.
REVOCATION Drops “Sarcophagi Of The Soul” Video/Single
“Sarcophagi Of The Soul” is the latest single from technical death metal artisans REVOCATION. The track comes by way of the band‘s ferocious new full-length New Gods, New Masters, set for release on September 26th via Metal Blade Records.
On REVOCATION‘s fifth record for Metal Blade, the quartet – spearheaded by founder/vocalist/guitarist Dave Davidson – delivers nine potent and portentous songs of brutal lyrical and musical significance.
Comments Davidson on today‘s single and accompanying video, “’Sarcophagi Of The Soul‘ is about our addiction to technology, primarily our phones. We use these devices to create idealized avatars to present to the world, when in reality nothing is ever as perfect as it seems. As we continue to feed our vanity the lines start to blur between our identities and the false narratives we create as these digital twins slowly begin to usurp our lives. The music video for this track features the incredible artwork of Tony Guarladi-Brown who created an entire graphic novel as an accompaniment to the new album. The artwork for this comic book is truly amazing so we wanted to give our fans a sneak peak before it gets released alongside the record.”

New Gods, New Masters was produced by Davidson and mixed and mastered by Jens Bogren (The Haunted, Spiritbox) with artwork by Paolo Girardi (Bell Witch, Mother Of Graves, Black Breath, Cryptopsy). In addition to Jonny Davy, the record includes guest appearances by Travis Ryan of Cattle Decapitation, Luc Lemay of Gorguts, and jazz guitarist Gilad Hekselman.
REVOCATION debuted with 2008‘s Empire Of The Obscene and subsequently released seven critically acclaimed albums and toured over 25 countries, bringing their technically charged, high-energy extreme metal to North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. New Gods, New Masters follows up 2022‘s critically-adored Netherheaven, where Davidson‘s lyrics took hard looks at Catholicism, hypocrisy, politics, the occult and demonic symbolism.
That album set a high bar, but an even sharper musical and lyrical focus was achieved on New Gods, New Masters. The Boston-bred Davidson credits newest members Harry Lannon (rhythm guitar and backing vocals since 2023) and bassist Alex Weber with renewed energy and intensity both in the studio and onstage.
Titling the album New Gods, New Masters reflects Davidson‘s belief about humans‘ need to worship various gods. “It seems as if that desire is encoded in our DNA. As science and our understanding of nature and the universe as a whole increases, the religions of the old gods start to become obsolete,” he says. “However, I believe we‘ve replaced our old gods with new ones, worshipping technology and creating a cult-like idolatry of innovators. I‘ve been very fascinated with the development of Artificial Intelligence, and I‘m deeply concerned where this could lead humanity whether it‘s the slow march towards a technological dystopia or the all-out annihilation of our species.”
“I‘ve been very fascinated with the development of Artificial Intelligence, and I‘m deeply concerned where this could lead humanity,” he continues, “whether it‘s the slow march towards a technological dystopia or the all-out annihilation of our species.”
The theme is deftly captured in the album artwork by Paolo Girardi. “He did an incredible job of bringing the lyrical themes of a bleak techno-nightmare to life,” Davidson says. “The ’New God‘ being birthed from the abyss of teeth and wires was even better than what I envisioned. I absolutely love the color palette he used. He even included some easter eggs from our first demo and first full-length album cover, which adds even more depth and meaning to the artwork for me.”
REVOCATION creates extreme music for extreme times.
New Hampshire Stoner Sludgers Lizzy Sign to Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records for Upcoming Album
Sludge-drenched spiritualism and cosmic heaviness converge in the next chapter from New Hampshire’s stoner-doom force LIZZY, which inked a deal with Italian powerhouse Argonauta Records and its (un)parallel label Octopus Rising.
Get ready for a hypnotic descent into drone-soaked doom and transcendent sonic rituals.
Formed in 2017 by Andrew Szmauz and Taylor Paradis, and recently joined by Alex Vance (Laquerhead) on bass, LIZZY has evolved from a stripped-down duo into a monolithic trio, melding earth-shaking sludge, stoner-doom grooves and a spiritual sensibility rooted in both ritualistic minimalism and global musical traditions.
Drawing influence from Sleep, OM, High on Fire and Black Sabbath, while channeling baroque, flamenco, North Indian and Middle Eastern textures, LIZZY is anything but conventional. The result is a trance-inducing, low-end-heavy assault where drone meets distortion and spiritual exploration collides with sonic destruction.
As described by IfItstooloud.com on their debut album Dirty War Machine:
“LIZZY feels like the plodding side of Black Sabbath, the sludge of the Melvins, the groove of early Queens of the Stone Age, and the insane noise bursts of Lightning Bolt… all in the same song.”
Their upcoming full-length, now in the work, promises to expand that vision even further: dropped-C riffs, amps on 10, sprawling feedback-laced arrangements, and deeply immersive atmospheres that pull the listener into temples yet to be explored.
“We are absolutely delighted to share the news of our collaboration with Argonauta Records, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in our musical journey together, as we work in tandem to share our music with the world!” – LIZZY
