Rachel Bolan Announces Debut Solo Album Gargoyle Of The Garden State and Drops First Single “At War With Myself” Fans of Skid Row finally get something a little different from longtime bassist Rachel Bolan, who’s stepping out front with his first-ever solo album, Gargoyle Of The Garden State. The record lands June 12 via earMUSIC, and if the early details are anything to go by, this isn’t just a side project. It’s a full-on statement. A Personal Record Rooted in New Jersey Grit Bolan describes the album as deeply personal, shaped by his upbringing in New Jersey and decades in the trenches of rock and metal. This isn’t just another name slapped on a release. It’s his identity poured into vinyl, CD, and digital formats. Produced by Nick Raskulinecz, the same guy behind Skid Row’s The Gang’s All Here, the album carries a polished but gritty edge. Bolan reportedly handled most of the instruments himself, stepping into a frontman role with confidence and a bit of swagger that longtime fans might not expect. Star-Studded Guest Lineup Even though this is a solo effort, Bolan didn’t exactly go it alone. The album features a stacked lineup of contributors, including: Dave Sabo and Scotti Hill on guitar Rob Hammersmith on drums Corey Taylor bringing his unmistakable vocals Nuno Bettencourt delivering a signature solo Danko Jones featured on the lead single Steve Conte and Damon Johnson adding even more firepower That’s not a guest list. That’s a backstage party that somehow made it onto tape. “At War With Myself” Sets the Tone The first single, At War With Myself, features Danko Jones and gives fans a taste of what’s coming. Expect hook-driven songwriting, punk attitude, and a melodic backbone that leans more into rock than straight metal. Bolan himself has made it clear. This does not sound like Skid Row. And honestly, that’s probably the whole point. A Blend of Influences with a Classic Twist Musically, Gargoyle Of The Garden State pulls from everywhere. Punk, glam, Britpop, and even a bit of new wave creep into the mix. One of the more interesting moments is a reworked version of Rock and Roll Star by Oasis, flipped into something entirely different while keeping its core intact. It’s the kind of move that shows confidence. You don’t mess with a classic unless you’ve got a vision. Creative Freedom Outside the Band Machine One thing Bolan emphasized in interviews is how different this process was compared to working within Skid Row. No committee decisions, no waiting around for approvals. Just him, the producer, and the songs moving fast and staying raw. That kind of freedom tends to bring out the real stuff. Sometimes messy, sometimes brilliant, but always honest. Where Skid Row Stands Now While Bolan explores new territory, Skid Row is still in a state of transition. The band is currently searching for a new frontman following the departure of Erik Grönwall in 2024. It’s been a long road since the days of Sebastian Bach, and if history has proven anything, it’s that Skid Row doesn’t stay down for long. Final Thoughts Look, solo records from band members can go either way. Sometimes they’re forgettable. Sometimes they surprise the hell out of you. This one feels like it might land in the second category. Between the stacked guest list, the stylistic curveballs, and Bolan finally taking center stage, Gargoyle Of The Garden State has all the ingredients to turn some heads. And let’s be real. After decades holding down the low end, the guy’s earned the right to do whatever the hell he wants. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="XUr4Fl9Dv58"] Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Rhinderpest Announces Self-Titled Debut Album Out Now – A Haunting Descent Into Blackened Death Metal Release Date: March 13, 2026Genre: Black Metal, Death MetalFFO: Mortuary Drape, Varathron, Morbid AngelLabel: Apophenion Records From the shadowy corners of the Pacific Northwest emerges Rhinderpest, a band steeped in the spirit of classic ‘90s extremity, now unleashing their long-awaited self-titled debut album, out now via Apophenion Records. Blending the savage force of death metal with the eerie, ritualistic atmosphere of black metal, Rhinderpest is more than just a record, it’s an experience. Drawing from the raw, unfiltered energy of genre pioneers while injecting their own theatrical edge, the band crafts a sound that feels both ancient and immediate, like something unearthed rather than created. Since 2021, Rhinderpest have been carving out a name across the Pacific Northwest with intense, theatrical live performances that blur the line between ritual and chaos. That same energy seeps into every track of this release, capturing a sense of unease, decay, and fleeting existence. “The inspiration for this album came from visits to strange, forgotten places: crypts, lost mines, abandoned cemeteries, desolate mountain passes. The conclusion we drew from those visits is absurdity; where there is now an apparition passing by, soon it will no longer be. Was it ever real at all?” That philosophy bleeds into the album’s core, a meditation on impermanence, illusion, and the thin veil between presence and absence. The result is a record that doesn’t just hit hard, it lingers. The album was mixed by Rich Canut and mastered by Adam Pike, giving it a crushing yet organic sound that stays true to the grit and atmosphere of the underground while still delivering modern sonic weight. With their self-titled debut now unleashed, Rhinderpest stand ready to stake their claim among the new wave of extreme metal bands honoring the old ways while forging something darker.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Patriarchs in Black Release Bold New Single “Supertzar” – A Powerful Reimagining of a Black Sabbath Deep Cut NoLifeTilMetal Records continues its strong run in 2026 as Patriarchs in Black unveil their latest single, “Supertzar,” a daring and atmospheric reinterpretation of one of Black Sabbath’s most ambitious and underappreciated compositions. Fans can listen to the track here:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="TrAxp24J1NA"] While many bands lean on the obvious classics, Patriarchs in Black take a different path. “Supertzar” is a deep cut that few would attempt, delivering a nearly rock opera–like experience. The track blends crushing guitars and thunderous drums with haunting, angelic female vocals from Sarah Sovak, creating a massive and cinematic soundscape. The lineup on this release is nothing short of heavy music pedigree. Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative) delivers his signature powerhouse drumming, while Dan Lorenzo (Hades) drives the track with crushing riffs. Former Pale Horse Named Death member Eric J. Morgan adds depth and atmosphere on keys, helping elevate the song into something truly epic. Adding to the track’s credibility, original Bill Ward himself gave his stamp of approval after hearing the rendition. Dan Lorenzo shares insight into the inspiration behind the track: "When I wrote the song 'Where You Think You're Going' off the 'Home' album with DMC, Johnny Kelly and I were talking about other hard rock songs that utilized female vocals. Johnny mentioned 'Supertzar'. I hadn't listened to that track in years and when I reexamined it I fell in love with it. Sarah Sovak and Eric J. Morgan really helped us bring the song to life." With “Supertzar,” Patriarchs in Black prove once again they’re not here to play it safe. They’re digging deep, taking risks, and delivering something that feels both classic and completely fresh.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VAJRA WALKED THROUGH THE RUINS OF POMPEII. WHAT THEY BROUGHT BACK WILL STOP YOU COLD. “SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN (POMPEII REIMAGINING)” — OUT NOW New York, NY — Progressive metal/art rock band Vajra has released their haunting reinterpretation of Pink Floyd’s “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” available now on all major platforms. Arriving as a Pompeii Reimagining, the track stands as something rare: a piece of music that earns the weight it carries. This is not a cover. It’s a continuation. Originally sparked by the practical need to extend a live set, the song evolved into something far more immersive. Inspired by the stark, elemental atmosphere of Live at Pompeii, Vajra spent years living inside the composition before recording it. Replicating it would have been easy. That was never the goal. “The song feels alive… like a portal. It asked something of us. We realized that to carry it forward, we had to enter its heat.” Pilgrimage Vocalist Annamaria Pinna and guitarist Dave Sussman traveled to Pompeii and Herculaneum, walking the same streets, standing in the amphitheater where the original performance was filmed. They studied Pliny the Younger’s firsthand account alongside archaeological and volcanological records of the eruption’s final hours. “My family is from that region. Maybe they were there, or knew of it when it happened. I don’t know. But I feel that story in my cells. If we were going to reinterpret this song, we had to honor the people of Pompeii as fully and honestly as we could.” The Music Video The accompanying video was written, shot, edited, and produced entirely by Pinna and Sussman. Blending original footage captured in Pompeii and Herculaneum with AI-assisted visuals, it reconstructs the city’s final 24 hours through a first-person lens. What begins as an ordinary day quickly turns catastrophic. It doesn’t just tell the story. It puts you inside it. Echoes Through Time More than five decades after its creation, the original composition still resonates. Vajra expands its architecture into something heavier, slower, and more cinematic. Pinna’s ethereal vocals drift through the mix like smoke through stone, while the hypnotic pulse remains intact. The ritual is still there. The tension builds differently. The silence at the end lingers longer. “We feel that the song is sacred, and it is still echoing. So are the images. There’s something unfinished in it. Something still moving.” Why This Song. Why Now. Pompeii didn’t fade away. It vanished in less than a day. An ordinary morning turned into total destruction with no warning. That idea doesn’t feel distant anymore. “There are forces that can reroute our lives overnight. What feels stable can shift instantly. Our time here is brief. That awareness changes everything, including how you create.” Released on the Spring Equinox, a moment of balance between darkness and light, this reimagining stands as both remembrance and a wake-up call. The song is out now. The video is out now. Listen. Watch. Then sit with it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Too Much Said The Nature Unleashes Ferocious New Single “Eat The Rich” Death/black metal project Too Much Said The Nature (TMSTN) returns with a sharp new statement in modern extreme metal. The single, Eat The Rich, drops on March 22, 2026, signaling the evolution of the project from a solo endeavor into a full-fledged two-man band. Founded in 2021 by guitarist and composer Tapio Välimäki, TMSTN initially operated as a one-man black/death metal project featuring guest vocalists. Following the 2025 release of the EP Prophet of Tomorrow, which featured Joni Mustonen on vocals, Välimäki reached out to Mustonen to join forces permanently. The result is a new chapter in TMSTN’s journey: a collaborative effort blending relentless riffing, complex arrangements, and atmospheric touches. "After years of working alone, I thought it was time to make TMSTN a proper band," Välimäki says. "I sent Joni some older songs that hadn’t been released yet, and he felt these should see the light of day. ‘Eat The Rich’ is the first of these, a song that tackles class disparity, politics, and warfare in our world today." The track is the second single from an upcoming five-song EP, featuring guest keyboardist Mika Huotari and mastered by Andreas “Seidr Jonsson” Westholm at Dark Prod Studios. A third single is planned in the coming months. Fans of Whitechapel, Omnium Gatherum, and Der Weg einer Freiheit will find TMSTN’s latest offering a potent mix of aggression, technicality, and haunting melody, all wrapped in a searingly modern black/death aesthetic.
