The new single is available now across all major streaming platforms and serves as the opening strike from Everything Under The Sun, Nickelback’s first new studio album since 2022’s Get Rollin’. Following the massive success of their acclaimed documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback and the record-breaking Get Rollin’ World Tour, which became the fastest-selling and highest-attended tour of the band’s career, Nickelback are entering this next era with the same fire and ambition that has fueled them for more than three decades. With Everything Under The Sun, Nickelback deliver a full-spectrum collection that embraces everything fans have come to love about the band. The album blends massive arena-ready rock anthems with emotional songwriting, huge guitar-driven moments, unforgettable melodies, and the undeniable chemistry that has made Nickelback one of the defining rock bands of the modern era. Leading the charge is “Rattle The Cage” featuring John 5, a hard-hitting, high-energy anthem built around crushing riffs, soaring hooks, and the adrenaline-fueled connection between Nickelback and their worldwide fanbase. The track captures the intensity of the band’s legendary live performances, channeling the energy of packed arenas and the unmistakable electricity that happens when Nickelback take the stage. “This album has every side of the band on it,” says frontman Chad Kroeger. “There are songs that hit as hard as anything we've ever done, songs that take chances, and songs that remind us why we've been doing this together for so long. ‘Rattle The Cage’ felt like the perfect way to kick the door open.

Their achievements also include multiple Grammy Award nominations, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, JUNO Awards, and international recognition as one of rock’s premier touring acts. The 2023 documentary Hate to Love: Nickelback introduced the band’s journey to a new generation of fans, becoming a global streaming success, while the Get Rollin’ World Tour reinforced their reputation as one of the biggest live rock attractions in the world.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bay Area Thrash Force Frolic Unleash Legacies of Cybernetica as Banger TV Spotlights Album in Metal Monthly Technical melodic thrash outfit Frolic continue to push the evolution of the legendary Bay Area sound with their explosive new album, Legacies of Cybernetica, out now via Hectic Records. Stream & Purchase: https://frolicbayarea.bandcamp.com/album/legacies-of-cybernetica California's rising progressive thrash metal powerhouse Frolic officially released their highly anticipated sophomore album, Legacies of Cybernetica, on July 3, 2026, delivering one of the year's most ambitious and technically impressive modern thrash records. Released on vinyl through Hectic Records, the album is also available independently on CD, cassette, digital platforms, and select streaming services. Blending razor-sharp musicianship with futuristic themes and relentless aggression, Legacies of Cybernetica expands upon the classic Bay Area thrash blueprint while forging a sound that is unmistakably Frolic. Fans of Kreator, Exodus, Revocation, and The Black Dahlia Murder will find plenty to sink their teeth into, from blistering riff work and soaring twin guitar leads to intricate rhythm changes and crushing, high-energy performances. Adding to the momentum surrounding the release, Legacies of Cybernetica was recently featured on Banger Films' Metal Monthly, where host Blaine Smith praised the album as one of July's standout metal releases. During the segment, Smith highlighted the band's remarkable artistic growth, calling attention to "a big upgrade to the cover art and a big upgrade to the band." He also praised Frolic for carving out a unique space within the thrash landscape, describing the group as filling "a hole that isn't really filled" by blending the intensity of German thrash with the technical precision and sci-fi atmosphere of the Bay Area scene. The review also applauded the band's explosive songwriting, emphasizing songs that hit listeners immediately with relentless speed and aggression while showcasing originality rarely heard in today's thrash movement. Smith concluded that Frolic is "doing something fairly original" and performing well above expectations, further cementing the band's growing reputation within the global metal community. Formed in the San Francisco Bay Area, Frolic stands as proof that the birthplace of thrash metal continues to produce innovative new voices. Rather than simply recreating the sounds of the 1980s, the band embraces evolution by combining technical death metal precision, progressive arrangements, blackened vocal intensity, and unforgettable melodic guitar work. Frontman and guitarist Edgar delivers a fierce vocal performance that recalls the venomous edge of classic European thrash while sharing lead guitar duties with Lenny, whose dynamic twin-guitar attack provides soaring solos and memorable hooks throughout the record. The rhythm section is equally formidable, with Zak bringing highly technical, death metal-inspired bass lines and Elijah combining jazz and funk influences into powerful drumming built for maximum mosh pit destruction. Produced by Ivan Garcia, Ben Bennett, and Andrew Peacock, Legacies of Cybernetica captures the band's explosive live energy while showcasing a level of songwriting and musicianship that marks a major step forward in Frolic's evolution. With critical praise already arriving from respected outlets like Banger TV and an ever-growing reputation throughout the Bay Area underground, Frolic are poised to become one of the most exciting names carrying thrash metal into its next generation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TALIA HOIT Releases Powerful New Single & Official Music Video “All You Want” From Upcoming Album “When The Skies Fall” Symphonic metal artist unveils the first emotional chapter from her highly anticipated second full-length album, arriving August 28 via SAOL Symphonic metal artist Talia Hoit has officially released her emotionally charged new single “All You Want” along with the accompanying official music video, available now on all major streaming platforms. The track marks the first preview of her upcoming second full-length album, “When The Skies Fall,” arriving August 28 through SAOL, a division of CMM GmbH. Watch the official music video for “All You Want” now:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="tFoTETW1qhA"] Blending cinematic orchestration, powerful metal instrumentation, and deeply personal songwriting, “All You Want” captures the painful realization of trying to live up to someone else’s impossible expectations while losing yourself in the process. “This song is about the impossible situation of trying to make someone happy who will never be happy with who you really are, because what they loved was some imaginary ideal of who they wanted you to be, rather than who you really are,” says Talia Hoit. Known for weaving raw emotional honesty into sweeping symphonic metal soundscapes, Talia Hoit continues to push deeper into vulnerable and personal territory with “When The Skies Fall.” The upcoming album explores themes of existential crisis, identity, transformation, love, grief, and emotional survival through ten immersive tracks that balance haunting piano-driven intimacy with massive orchestral arrangements and crushing guitars. At the core of Talia’s songwriting remains the same foundation that shaped her artistic beginnings: piano and voice. What started as deeply personal reflections and emotional processing evolved into songs that now resonate through towering symphonic compositions. “Writing poems or songs was my way of processing life and my emotions and things,” Talia explains. “A lot of what I have written was not originally intended to be a commercial product, so I guess it really fits under the idea of a ‘piano confessional’.” After years of writing and developing her sound behind the scenes, Talia Hoit officially stepped into the symphonic metal world as a solo artist with the release of her debut full-length album, marking the true beginning of her artistic journey into the public eye. “When The Skies Fall” represents Talia Hoit’s most revealing and emotionally expansive work to date. The album invites listeners into a world where certainty crumbles, emotions collide, and beauty and pain exist side by side.
