Kings Of Karma unleashed their commanding new rock album, Bite The Bullet, on March 1st, 2025. This album is a non-stop rock 'n' roll wave, an adventure through late-night confessionals, the turbulent landscape of relationship breakups, and the exhilaration of high-stakes living. It’s a journey that shifts seamlessly from the seductive, driving rhythm of the single “Selfish Lover” to the liberating, blues-soaked catharsis of “Cut You Loose.” The record maintains its soulful groove with the irresistible funk-rock bounce of “Sugar Mama,” before peaking with the gritty, stadium-ready intensity of “Calls My Name.” Bite The Bullet is Kings Of Karma at their most raw, dynamic, and unapologetic.
Track List:

Meet NIGHT TERROR...the supergroup rising up from the newly energized ashes of Seven Witches, and the brainchild of acclaimed guitarist, Jack Frost. Frost, who besides being the face of Seven Witches, is best known for playing & touring with national acts such as Aldo Nova, Savatage, Joey Belladonna, Lizzie Borden and many others, put together this monster all-star band of who’s who in metal today. The line-up consists of vocal legend Jason McMaster of Dangerous Toys &Watchtower, drum icon Karl Wilcox of Diamond Head, TANK & Brothers In Arms, bassist extraordinaire, Dennis Hayes of Iced Earth & Seven Witches, and also esteemed specialguest on keys, Eric Ragno of Londen. Night Terror’s album will bring you back to the era of the famed Seven Witches, Passage To The Other Side record, with its screaming Halford - like vocals & riffs of pure, unapologetic metal at its finest. That combined with killer thunderous drums and sick bass runs, will take you on a journey to those past days of the early 80’s, when the New Wave of British heavy metal (NWOBHM) was coming into its own & about to take over the airwaves of the rock world. Frost’s mission in putting together this newest project with some of the industry’s most quintessential players, was not to reinvent the wheel...but rather to resurrect it. This goal as his driving motive, he got the other guys on board and shared with them his intent to bring back those unforgettable metal days, when leather jackets, banging heads, & the loudest, fastest guitar riffs were a way of life.

On August 29, 2024, the Graham Bonnet Band took the stage of the world-famous Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles for a night that perfectly captured the power, history, and energy of one of rock’s most distinctive voices. Filmed and recorded in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the legendary Sunset Strip venue, “Lost in Hollywood Again” showcases not only Graham’s unparalleled legacy but also the chemistry and fire of his current band.
The setlist is a journey through Bonnet’s remarkable career, featuring classics from Rainbow, Michael Schenker Group, and Alcatrazz, alongside hard-hitting originals from the Graham Bonnet Band catalog. With Graham’s trademark vocals in top form, the performance blends nostalgia with vitality, proving why he remains an enduring force in hard rock.
On this unforgettable night, Graham Bonnet’s iconic vocals were supported by the virtuosic guitar work of Conrado Pesinato, the driving bass of Beth-Ami Heavenstone, the soaring keyboards of Alessandro Bertoni, and the precise, energetic drumming of Francis Cassol. Together, they brought each song to life with intensity and precision, creating a truly memorable live experience.
“Lost in Hollywood Again” is more than a concert — it’s a celebration of Graham Bonnet’s enduring legacy and timeless songs, carried by a legendary voice, elevated by outstanding musicianship, and standing as a testament to the lasting power of hard rock.

After nearly a year away from the spotlight to grieve and reflect, Lonnie returned to songwriting — not as an escape, but as a path to healing. He partnered with acclaimed producer Shawn McGhee, whose credits include work with Five Finger Death Punch, Disturbed, Papa Roach, Hellyeah, and Drowning Pool, among many others. Together, they began crafting what would become “Silva” — an emotional tribute and a bold artistic statement. Shawn enlisted an elite lineup of musicians for the project, including:
C.J. Pierce of Drowning Pool(special appearance on "No More" & "I Am Silence")
Stacey David Blades of L.A. Guns(special appearance on "Listen I'm Falling", "Enemy in my mind", "My fist your face", "House of Pain", "Man of no fear")
Alessandro Paveri of Gemini Syndrome, Semi-Rotted (featuring Jeremy Spencer, former FFDP drummer)
Rob Pierce of FlatBlack (featuring Jason Hook, former FFDP guitarist)
Vocalist Peter Summit of Crashing Wayward
Erik Gloege of Sass Jordan(drums on "Another Day")
Kyle Silva(guitars on "Fade")
Though Lonnie wrote the album in its entirety — from drumbeats to guitar riffs, lyrics to vocal melodies — he made the profound decision to step back from performing. Instead, he entrusted his deeply personal work to this remarkable group of artists, allowing their talents and emotional interpretations to bring the songs to life.
“Silva” is more than just an album — it’s a journey through loss, resilience, and rebirth. Through raw emotion and powerful collaboration, it stands as both a tribute to Kyle Silva and a testament to the enduring power of music.

Legendary guitarist George Lynch and his band Lynch Mob are set to release their highly anticipated final studio album “Dancing with the Devil” via Rat Pak Records due out on November 28, 2025, marking the final chapter in their storied career.
Produced by Chris Collier, the album follows the success of their previous effort “Babylon” and showcases elements of classic Lynch Mob with a modern edge, fusing hard rock, blues, and soulful grooves with an unmistakable passion and energy. Dancing with the Devil revisits the classic Lynch Mob sound: a potent mix of blues-based hard rock, razor-sharp guitar work, and soulful vocals, delivered with the swagger and confidence of a band that has nothing left to prove.
Fans of the early Wicked Sensation era will find familiar fire here with this masterful completion of their musical legacy. Additionally, George Lynch has decided to extend the bands legacy further. Due to high demand for additional performances and the upcoming release of the final studio album "Dancing with the Devil", George will continue to fly the Lynch Mob banner into the future with a trek of encore performances

DORO released her new album, Warriors of the Sea, on October 24, 2025, via Rare Diamonds Production, distributed by Edel.
The project was inspired by the success of two sold-out Metal Queen Cruises in May and June, with a third cruise already scheduled for June 6, 2026. Fan excitement from these events sparked demand for new music, leading to this release.
The title track, “Warriors of the Sea”, has quickly become a live favorite, serving as both the cruise’s anthem and a festival highlight. The album features ten tracks in total: Side A offers four rare studio recordings, while Side B captures five live performances from DORO’s 2024/25 sold-out tour.
In keeping with the theme cruise, the album will be offered as liquid-filled vinyl filled with Blue Curaçao. Initially, it was going to be filled with Rhine Water, but liquor is quicker in getting the point across, and it tastes better, too. It’s also available as a CD digipak and picture disc vinyl.
Tracklist:
1. Warriors Of The Sea
2. Touch Too Much
3. Tattooed Angels
4. Horns Up High
5. Seelied

With 'Built To Destroy,' N.Y.C. makes a formidable debut, led by legendary guitarist Tommy Bolan and powered by a relentless rhythm section. Razor-sharp riffs and skull-thumping grooves deliver raw, street-level intensity that captures the grit of New York City. This uncompromising record establishes N.Y.C. as a heavy rock force unafraid to vent aggression and exorcise demons through music.
N.Y.C. is the brainchild of guitarist/singer/producer Tommy Bolan, best known for his lead-guitar work on Warlock’s platinum-selling classic Triumph & Agony alongside Doro Pesch. Backed by a powerhouse rhythm section featuring Stet Howland (Metal Church, W.A.S.P.) on drums and Steve Unger (Metal Church) on bass, N.Y.C. delivers a street-level blast of heavy, hook-driven aggression.
‘Built To Destroy’ is a full-on sonic tantrum with pre-release festivities already underway including the launch of Bolan’s signature guitar strings (available now via Optima Strings), a series of lyric performance videos created with Oscar/Emmy-winning VFX veteran Walter Schulz and more.

Electric Temple was formed in 2024 by guitarist Tony Childs and features Andrew Freeman (Last In Line, Lynch Mob, Offspring) on vocals, Mike Duda (W.A.S.P.) on bass, Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big, KIX) on drums. Guitarist/songwriter/producer Tony Childs was formerly in the band Shanghai. Their combined forces deliver a sonic experience beckoning flavors from modern rock, post grunge and that magic era when bands like Sabbath, Dio and Judas Priest established themselves as the Godfathers of the “hard rock/metal” genre.
In their quest to keep the flames of rock burning bright, Electric Temple champions the belief that “Rock is Religion.” This mantra fuels their relentless pursuit of sonic excellence and their mission to ignite passion in the hearts of all who embrace that old school rock and roll spirit.
Tracks:

The Fell's debut release features 3 new tracks that will appear on the band's full length 2026 release plus two past tracks now featuring Toby on vocals. Packaged is a special LP gatefold that also includes the CD. The LP has 5 songs on side A and a lenticular image on side B.

Canadian-born Rick Hughes is renowned for his powerful and rangey voice as the lead singer of the legendary metal band Sword, and of the hard-rock band Saints & Sinners. A seasoned performer with hundreds of headlining shows in Canada, America, Europe and Japan over the years, and his superb stage performances while opening for bands such as Metallica, Motorhead, Alice Cooper, Black Label Society, etc.
So when it was time for him to record ‘’Redemption’’, his first international solo album, he spared no expenses and efforts to make this album a great one, hiring producer John Webster (Aerosmith, Mötley Crüe, AC/DC, etc.) and renting HippoSonic Recording Studio (formerly known as Little Mountain Studios) in Vancouver to record this opus.
The first salvo is coming out September 5, 2025, and it is quite an event in itself: his first single and video is a supercharged version of The Who’s classic ‘’The Real Me’’ - reuniting after 43 years Ozzy Osbourne’s superband consisting of Brad Gillis on guitar, Rudy Sarzo on bass, and Tommy Aldridge on drums. This is the band that did the last leg of the ‘’Diary of a Madman Tour’’ in 1982 after the tragic departure of the great Randy Rhoads, and that then recorded Ozzy’s classic live album ‘’Speak of the Devil’’.
The Real Me stands as a cornerstone of my album 'Redemption'," says Rick. "As a lifelong fan of The Who, I wanted to pay tribute to the golden age of 70s rock. To capture that spirit, I brought together a true supergroup with Tommy Aldridge, Rudy Sarzo and Brad Gillis, a unique moment where legends unite to breathe new life into a classic.''
"This very special song is part of the upcoming Rick Hughes Album 'Redemption,' a collection of great rock songs to be released on Friday, October 24 2025 on CD, Vinyl, and Digital format worldwide by Deko Entertainment, and featuring more great collaborations with some famous musicians.
Included are 2 more songs featuring the superb songwriting and inspired guitar playing of the great Brad Gillis, another featuring the extraordinary talent of The Door’s legendary guitarist Robby Krieger, and great contributions from rock royalty Lee Aaron, vocal powerhouse Amy Keys (Ringo Starr, Phil Collins, Toto, Sting, Stevie Wonder, etc.), rising guitar hot shot Jacob Deraps, as well as Rick’s gifted sister, Lulu Hughes.
With its great performances, 'Redemption' is a very special and unique rock album that brings together 7 songs in English, 1 bilingual and 2 songs in French.

Today, the legendary band STRYPER are pleased to announce their long-awaited Christmas album, 'The Greatest Gift of All,' due out on November 21st via Frontiers Music Srl. To celebrate the announcement, the band also shares their new single, "Winter Wonderland," accompanied by a lyric video, available below.
On the new album and single, Michael Sweet comments:
“We have wanted to record a Christmas album for many years. Ever since we released our first Christmas single (‘Reason for the Season’) back in 1985, the fans have been asking for a full-length Christmas album. Well, the time has finally come. We wanted to make an album of five traditional songs and five original songs, to put our own spin on our own Christmas album and not follow the pack, so to speak. We could not be more pleased with how it turned out! We obviously re-recorded ‘Reason for the Season’ and ‘Winter Wonderland,’ and we decided to go with ‘Winter Wonderland’ as the next single, just to give you an idea of what it might sound like today in 2025. We’re happy to say that we finally have our own Christmas album, and hopefully it will become a fan favorite year after year.”

Ten Telecaster Tales remakes the idea of the “concept album.” It is music that arrives inside a book. It’s also, arguably, the most comprehensive attempt at liner notes in the history of electric instrumental fingerstyle guitar albums.
In his latest offering, Rik Emmett delves into the creative process — the roots, influences, philosophy, and spirituality involved in writing and recording. Even the story behind these stories explores creativity. (Emmett dreamed of then commissioned a guitar — a one-of-a-kind Telecaster-style guitar — then wrote and recorded with and for it.)

“Closer to My Home” is the long-awaited, new album from legendary guitarist and singer/songwriter Mark Farner. Bridging past and present, the grit of industry and the calloused hard work of a rural man, “Closer to My Home” champions Farner’s multi-faceted artistry. Celebrating the 55th anniversary of the iconic hit “(I’m Your Captain) Closer To My Home” the album is highlighted with a re-record, finding Farner in exactly the same form as 1970.
From the rebellious “Anymore” to the endearing “Darlin” and to the defiant “Same Game” Farner’s journey as one of rock’s statesmen is undeniable. “Façade”, “Friends For Forever”, “Real”, “Tiny Fingers” Farner’s journey has always called him towards love and light. He collaborated with Jim Peterik (The Ides of March, Survivor) on the CD-exclusive “Friends Forever”*. Farner also enlisted the songwriter of multi-platinum rocker Mark Slaughter on “Same Game”; Slaughter produced “Closer to My Home”. Farner is co-producer.
“Real” is the lead single and authentically vintage Farner with an earworm chorus.
Watch the “Real” visualizer here.
“Mark Farner still has it! The vocals are powerful as usual! ‘Real’ is as real as you can get! He’s letting you know how he feels, and delivers it with ‘real’ honesty and passion,” said Larry Mac, Program Director at KLPX FM in Tucson, Ariz. “And his redux version “I’m your Captain” still shows he has the passion to re-imagine a legendary song and not lose any of its luster! In a word: Mark Farner rocks!”
“These songs are honest and from my heart,” Farner said. “The collaboration with Jim (Peterik) and Mark (Slaughter) came from a place of trust and that makes the whole experience so much more rewarding as songwriters. The audience can feel that and these songs reflect those very human moments that you can’t find creating a song from a computer.”
“‘Closer to My Home’ comes from the idea that love is at the heart of all that I do, and music is my home.”
As one of the founding members, lead singer, lead guitarist, and wrote more than 90% of the Grand Funk music catalog, Farner has always been known as the energetic driving force on stage, the engine that pulled the original Grand Funk Railroad to the top of the charts. From his soulful voice and power rock riffs, to fueling the Funk with his atomic stage presence. His story and his imprint on music starts with Flint and since 1969 from his humble beginnings and a blue-collar outlook, Farner has captained a global crusade for love, peace and freedom and became a rock ‘n’ roll icon.
More than 60 years later – he commands the stage with the same intensity performing epic hits that defined a generation – “I’m Your Captain (Closer to Home)”, “Bad Time”, “Some Kind of Wonderful”, “Foot Stompin’ Music”, “Heartbreaker”, “Rock & Roll Soul”, “Locomotion”, “Mean Mistreater” and “We’re An American Band”.
“Closer to My Home” is on Righteous Rock Records and is distributed by MVD Entertainment Group and is available via vinyl and CD.
“Closer to My Home” LP track listing:
Side A
1. “Anymore”
2. “The Prisoner”
3. “Same Game”

5. “Oh Darlin’”
Side B

Maltese born-Swiss musician Marc Storace started his exceptional musical career in 1970, with the Swiss cult progressive band "TEA". TEA released 5 LP's, becoming a very successful band and Marc gained attention for his abilities and his high-pitched raunchy vocal tone. In 1979 Marc became the voice KROKUS, the most successful Hard Rock Band from Switzerland, selling over 15 million copies, touring the world collecting over 2000 shows, winning several Gold and Platinum awards!
At the beginning of 2021 Marc started working on his solo career as STORACE, releasing the first solo CD "Live and Let Live" at the end of 2021, in the middle of the very difficult pandemic situation, but due unfortunately were not possible to properly promote the music live and the album didn’t have the chance to be properly supported. Marc spent 2023 and 2024 to write and produce the new album “Crossfire” that is finally ready. With the songwriting shared between Marc Storace, guitar player Tommy Henriksen (Alice Cooper band) and drummer Pat Aeby (Krokus, Gotus), Storace managed to deliver a monster piece of Hard Rock.
“Crossfire”, produced by Tommy Henriksen and mixed by the award-winning engineer Olle Romo, features a collection of Hard Rock anthemic songs, with big choruses, great guitars and an awesome rhythm section!
Currently the band is planning an extended tour in support of the new album, following the release of the new album.
