- The Republic of Wolves have just unleashed the second single from their upcoming shrine album. The track is called "Bask" and you can listen to it here. "'Bask' is one of our darkest and heaviest songs musically, which accurately reflects the dark lyrical themes of questioning one’s sanity and perception of reality," says vocalist Mason Maggio. "The song, as it exists in the specific narrative of the record, is more or less about the main character going insane; in a more general sense it’s about grappling with the conclusion that the mind is fundamentally flawed in one way or another.” Look for the shrine album coming this spring.

- Sins in Vain have unleashed a video for their cover of Killswitch Engage's "The End of the Heartache." The band called the cover a "big thank you" to Killswitch for all the inspiration over the years, adding, "We’ve worked hard to convey the feelings of love and sorrow in this song. The outcome is a balance between respect for the original and our own interpretation and sound. Our delivery is a bit softer, but definitely still powerful. 'The End of Heartache' is truly close to our hearts, and we hope everyone who will hear our version of it will grasp how much emotion has gone into this."
