Napalm Recor

Six long years since their latest offering, Swedish occult rock frontrunners YEAR OF THE GOAT return with their fourth studio album, entitled "Trivia Goddess". Once again, they take a break from their ongoing trilogy that started with the award-winning album “Angels Necropolis” (2012), followed by the much-acclaimed “Novis Orbis Terrarum Ordinis” (2019). Inspired by the most harrowing moments in women's history – vilified by churches and men of a petty god, devalued as the lesser sex throughout the history of the Abrahamic religions – in true satanic fashion, "Trivia Goddess" sees the Norrköping, Sweden-based dark rock collective oppose the structures of true evil in the world. Evoking a sinister, almost medieval spirit on tracks such as "Power of Eve", the band shows its epic, powerful and expeditious side, while "Alucarda" captivates listeners with an irresistibly catchy 70s hard rock vibe.

Following 2022’s massive Pawns & Kings (#1 US Hard Music Albums, #2 US Billboard 200 With Hard Rock Genre, #3 US Current Rock Albums), rock icons ALTER BRIDGE return with their hard-hitting new self-titled album, Alter Bridge. First single "Silent Divide” kicks off with a charging heavy metal-tinged riff before the iconic voice of Myles Kennedy climbs towards a melodic chorus, metallic bridge and epic harmonic solo! Catch ALTER BRIDGE on tour in Europe next year with Daughtry and Sevendust!

Following international performances at festivals such as Damnation, Desertfest, Soul Crusher, Gloomnar, Post Fest and Inkcarceration, FRAYLE vows to enrapture audiences with their third full length album, entitled Heretics & Lullabies, out in October 2025 via Napalm Records. For several years, Cleveland, Ohio's FRAYLE has been lauded as one of the fastest-rising, most haunting currently active modern doom metal outfits. Noted first by Revolver Magazine as a band to watch in 2023, and then again by Knotfest for the following year, the band continues to infuse their sound with new eclectic elements and reinvent their ghostly trademark sonic profile. Merging the heaviness of occult-driven doom and blackgaze with frontwoman Gwyn Strang's distinctively eerie vocal stylings and the crushing guitars of Sean Bilovecky, the band has fully realized their ""lullabies of chaos"" musical vision with Heretics & Lullabies.
