Brand new album for the Italian psychelic riffers MR.BISON.

The Garden, a magical place where lost dreams don't fade, but grow like silent flowers. Each petal holds an unfulfilled wish, each scent a memory left behind. In this garden, those who enter rediscover parts of themselves they thought lost and understand that nothing should be forgotten if it has touched their heart.

The garden is the image that recurs most frequently throughout the album. We chose it as a metaphor for "refuge," a place where we can choose to nurture our natural inclinations, let them grow and blossom, but where we can also keep our shadows and our lights hidden. Where our secrets, our most authentic truths, our aspirations and our dreams, can therefore remain guarded until we are ready to reveal them to those who can contain and appreciate them.

“The Rise of Flood” stands as a pristine example of early-1970s New York underground rock—a raw, funky, fuzz-driven take on psychedelic acid rock that feels as vital and urgent today as it did in 1970. Featuring George Cabanting’s distinctive guitar work, the thick bass lines of Fred Covino, the precise rhythm section of Billy Carroll, and the soulful vocals and percussion of John T. Magazino, the album showcases songwriting craft and musicianship that belied its limited original pressing.

Available to pre-order, out September 15, 2026 on RidingEasy Records.

Welsh heavy trio Goat Major are set to return with their crushing sophomore album, Death Comes Twice, the follow-up to their 2024 debut Ritual. The songwriting process ignited immediately after the last record, with guitarist Jammie Arnold channeling a relentless flow of riff demos that provided the foundation forSimon Bonwick (drums) and Tom Shortt (vocals/bass) to build upon. They comment, "When the three of us gathered in the jam room, that’s where the true magic happened. We threw ourselves into every riff, every groove, with no detail too small or too grand. This new record reveals a deeper, more melodic side of us, all the while remaining heavy and intense. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it!"

Recording once again with engineer Tom Chaloner in rural Pembrokeshire, the band captured the raw energy of their live chemistry by tracking together in a room without click tracks. The result is a record that delves deeper into melody while maintaining their signature heaviness, augmented by experimental layers of percussion, harmonies, and progressive synthesis soundscapes.

Lyrically, Death Comes Twice navigates the dark narrow passageways of belief, tradition, and existential crisis. Continuing the occult and cosmic themes of their debut, the album shifts between dark fantasy and internal turmoil, exploring themes of persecution under dogmatic rule, the spiritual toll of ancient rituals, and the clash between divine creation and modern technology.

New album "Death Comes Twice" out October 23rd on Ripple Music.

US heavy rock trio Moon Destroys have a new album OMNI and it's an electrifying blend of infectious sludge pop and riff-driven post-rock.
An electrifying blend of post-grunge, riff-doom and driving psychedelia, OMNI encapsulates the expansive soundscapes of their previous album She Walks by Moonlight into more immediate cuts, delivering the breadth of their genre-pushing abilities in hook-driven, quickfire fashion.

Fresh off a breakout year that saw them tour with Elder, Dozer and The Sword, founding members Juan Montoya (ex-Torche) and Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, ex-Royal Thunder) ushered in 2026 by welcoming Zach Amster (Abrams) on lead vocals and rhythm guitar. Energized and hungry, the thunderous trio is now ready to enter their new chapter by unleashing their infectious brand of heaviness upon the world!

2. Flowers

Formed by legendary guitarist Juan Montoya (a founding member of Torche) and drummer Evan Diprima (Gold Pyramid, Royal Thunder), MOON DESTROYS released their first EP Maiden Voyage in 2020. The 5-song debut featured contributions from Troy Sanders (Mastodon) and Bryan Richie (The Sword) and laid a foundation that would come fully into focus in April 2025, when the band was thrust into the limelight supporting Elder just as they were self-releasing their debut full-length She Walks By Moonlight. This shimmering blend of post-rock, riff-doom and shoegazy psychedelia stood as a cinematic and otherworldly journey from a band who breeze into the environs of My Bloody Valentine, The Cult, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Ride.

Pegzilla is a heavy rock trio from Los Angeles, a powerful and rebellious force in the L.A. music scene featuring Olivia Saperstein (guitar, vocals), Ryan Swain (drums), and Juan Barsse (bass). Their sound is a heavy blend of stoner metal and desert rock. They describe their style as "witchy stoner rock", aiming to create a dark, spellcasting atmosphere with a vengeful edge through a sound that's seductive but also intentionally uncomfortable. Lyrically, the band is unapologetically assertive.
As a woman in a male-dominated genre, Olivia Saperstein crafts lyrics that criticize patriarchal power structures and act as a "seductive call to take the power back". Her mission is clear: to highlight the presence of women in heavy music and advocate for more representation on festival lineups and in the press.

Pegzilla have released one EP, numerous singles, and have now signed to US independent powerhouse Ripple Music to blast their debut full-length Disobedience in the fall of 2026, followed by an extensive East Coast tour.

HUMAN WORTH are proud to present the crushing new album from London heavyweights Remote Viewing, available in a range of formats, including some super special edition vinyl LPs, with a portion of all proceeds donated to charity.
Their most direct statement yet, ‘State Violence’ is an unapologetic reflection on the increasing levels of injustice, social division, extreme wealth and human atrocities we are seeing the world over. Across seven new tracks, Remote Viewing sharpen their explosive confrontational sound that resides between gritty sludge metal riffs and the ear-splitting power of noise rock.

Remote Viewing are formed from the ashes of Palehorse, consisting of current members of Million Dead, Sly & The Family Drone and Hands Up Who Wants To Die. To capture State Violence, the quintet returned to Bear Bites Horse Studio in their hometown of London to work with long-time collaborator – producer, engineer and Petbrick musician Wayne Adams (who has helmed acclaimed heavy records by Green Lung, USA Nails, Vacuous, Kulk, and countless more) with Stephen Kerrison adding his mastering magic touch.

The album also features an array of special guests, including HW alumni Hannah Asprey of IAN and Ross Sargeant of Pascagoula on track HUMAN RIGHT$, adding a rare glimpse of beauty and melodicism within an album of ugliness and horror.
Studying Remote Viewing’s song titles and lyrics has always revealed a love for absurd self-deprecating humour and personal in-jokes, but the band are in less of a laughing mood on State Violence. “We’re aware of the state of the world around us and not everything is funny right now,” laments Bryant. “Many still believe the atrocities they see on their phone screens occur only in faraway places, maintaining an ‘it couldn’t happen here’ mentality, when injustice and corruption are already occurring at home, not just abroad.” Atkins sums it up even more bluntly, “The world is currently a veritable s**t show of epic proportions.”

Remote Viewing - State Violence is released 18th September.

Valley of the Sun’s sixth studio album The Blacklight Sessions, is a deep dive into the sonic roots of the band who continues to defy genre norms. With tracks ranging from blues jam to psychedelic desert trip to driving stoner riffage, the band continues to demonstrate that their music knows no bounds, nor should it. Their previous single The Whiskey Elf encapsulates this perfectly, channeling the spirit of Ten Years After and Grand Funk Railroad while retaining the modern heavy groove that has become the band's signature.

Following the 2024 release of the acclaimed self-released Quintessence, their new album The Blacklight Sessions sees the band consisting of Ryan Ferrier (guitar, vocals), Chris Sweeney (bass) and Johnny Kathman (drums) embarking on a new chapter. This release marks their first for Heavy Psych Sounds and arrives as the band is fully locked into their powerful power-trio format and ready to spread the gospel of their high-octane riff-rock across Europe this fall.

London based rock band The Fierce & The Dead will release their fifth studio album, Regional Theatre, on 11 September 2026, via their own label Spencer Park Music.

Following the critical acclaim of 2023’s News From The Invisible World, Regional Theatre sees the band pushing further into alternative and noise rock territory while retaining the experimental spirit that has defined their career. The album marks the band's second full-length release featuring lead vocals from bassist and producer Kevin Feazey, continuing an evolution that has transformed The Fierce & The Dead from cult instrumental favourites into one of the UK's most distinctive underground rock bands. This is the first record to feature keyboard player, percussionist and backing vocalist Tom Hunt (also of Orange Clocks).

Regional Theatre lyrically the album is mostly about communication, and how in a world where we have more access then ever we still struggle. Musically, the album draws on influences as diverse as post-rock, alternative metal, shoegaze, psychedelic rock, extreme metal, pop and experimental music, combining heavy riffs, ambitious arrangements, analogue electronics and memorable vocal hooks.

Album art is by Mark Buckingham, known for his work at DC and Marvel Comics and his best selling graphic novel Fables.

Influences include Faith No More, Nirvana, Slowdive, Flaming Lips, Super Furry Animals, Queens Of The Stone Age, Mastodon, LCD Soundsystem, Sonic Youth, The Smashing Pumpkins, At The Drive-In and Helmet with The Fierce & The Dead's trademark progressive and experimental sensibilities and their love of King Crimson, Deafheaven, Black Flag and Voivod.

Speaking about the album, vocalist and bassist Kevin Feazey said:
“We really pushed ourselves in terms of the songwriting on this album, trying to be more focused. Many of the tracks are dealing with communication on a personal and societal level. How in a world where we are more connected than ever, there seem to be more barriers than ever. It was important that the music and the lyrics worked together to get these ideas across”.

Matt Stevens said “It’s important to keep moving sonically and trying new things, that’s what makes us excited and hopefully you can hear that on the record”.

Regional Theatre will be available on limited edition coloured vinyl, CD, digital download and special collector's editions featuring exclusive bonus material, artwork by acclaimed comic artist Mark Buckingham, and a specially written companion play script.

Regional Theatre, on 11 September 2026, via their own label Spencer Park Music.
The band will support the release with a series of UK album launch shows throughout autumn 2026.

The Mortal Voltage Sessions, a gritty, desert-forged collaboration between Maybe Human and Professor Electric. Recorded in secrecy by Dr. Zaius at an undisclosed location deep in the Nevada desert, the recordings crackle with analog heat and psychic inference.

Professor Electric injects raw nerve and vehement into Maybe Human’s shadow-drenched delivery, creating a sound that feels ritualistic, mechanical, and uncomfortably alive. This isn’t just an EP, it’s a broadcast from the edge of the grid.

The Mortal Voltage Sessions arrives August 28, 2026. Available via Bandcamp and all the usual streaming services.

When German four-piece Bees Made Honey in the Vein Tree began to find their bearings on where to go next from the success of their previous full-length, "Aion" (2023), the core idea for the fourth album, "In Between Strides", was to take a more melodic approach. All else, they would leave to the creative process and somewhat to chance.

Recording one song at a time without knowing what the next would sound like, the track 'Elisa' was the first step forward and became the binding link between the previous and new albums. 'Elisa' came into being as a jam captured on the last day of recording during the "Aion" sessions, which was later heavily condensed and augmented with added instrumentation to create more structure and depth.
BEES MADE HONEY recorded every other song on "In Between Strides" in various settings that were available to them at the time of creation: a cavernous cellar, a concert stage, an indoor balcony, a living room, their rehearsal space, even returning to the studio where their first album "Medicine" was tracked.

Through this spontaneous and shifting approach, BEES MADE HONEY began to move texturally and stylistically from ambient and drone toward shoegaze along with more acoustic elements. According to their original plan, "In Between Strides" stepped into more melodic territory, with each song representing a different aspect of the band's musical vocabulary.

Tracklist:
1. Departure
2. Respite
3. Clutching at Straws 4. Elisa
5. Return, Precipice

Releases 18th September on Magnetic Eye Records.
