Amity Affliction: Everyone Loves You... Once ... [CD]

Galactic Empire returns with Cinemetal, an epic new chapter in their saga of cinematic metal. Expanding beyond the Star Wars universe that defined their 2023 release Special Edition, the band turns their focus to some of the most iconic scores in film history—Superman, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, and more—reimagined as thunderous, high-octane instrumental metal anthems. With virtuosic musicianship and a flair for the dramatic, Cinemetal cements Galactic Empire’s role as the ultimate bridge between movie fandom and heavy music—delivering a soundtrack fit for heroes, villains, and everything in between.

You Won't Go Before You're Supposed To is the third studio album by the American hardcore punk band Knocked Loose. It was released through Pure Noise Records in 2024, and produced by Drew Fulk. It is the band's first album to feature rhythm guitarist Nicko Calderon.

As Knocked Loose chipped away at what would become their third album, they felt the pressure from all sides. Internally, there was the need to challenge themselves as songwriters while retaining the merciless intensity and unflinching honesty that have always been their calling cards. Externally, there was a whole new set of eyes on the hard-touring Louisville quintet, following a banner year in which they’d brought their underground-seasoned sound to some of the world’s biggest stages, finding themselves the unlikely viral darlings of both Coachella and Bonnaroo.

Knocked Loose: Pop Culture [Vinyl LP]

For over a decade, Drug Church have been building a very strong case that they’re the best loud guitar band in the game; their fifth full-length PRUDE–a 28-minute blast of aggression, melody, irreverence, and genuine heart–feels like the undeniable proof. The album is so downright satisfying it tricks you into thinking there’s nothing all that surprising about a difficult-to-pigeonhole punk band from Albany, NY, with a name like Drug Church somehow having a career at all, much less one that would last over 10 years and qualify them as the best band going. But before you start trying to think of who might have them beat (good luck), consider what just might be the key to Drug Church’s unexpected staying power: Don’t take it too seriously.
