It’s just about time for the annual Inkcarceration Music Tattoo Festival to take over the historic Ohio State Reformatory grounds in Mansfield, Ohio. And as you may expect by now, the organizers have once again curated a lineup celebrating all things heavy. Set to host more than 65 artists between July 17th-19th, the latest iteration of Inkcarceration has massive headlining sets from nu-metal vets Disturbed and Limp Bizkit, as well as modern metal heavyweights Bad Omens. On top of that, you’ve got big-time appearances on deck from Gojira, Ice Nine Kills, Lorna Shore, Poppy, Papa Roach, Motionless in White and many more. It’s a murderer’s row of heavy hitters, but don’t forget that each day also features a number of up-and-comers taking a swing at becoming your new favorite band. Ahead of the fest, Revolver is spotlighting the rising stars bringing danger, groove and harmony to the Ohio State Reformatory this year. 156/Silence Hard work pays off, because after more than 10 years in the game, long-running Pennsylvania metalcore outfit 156/Silence are having a major moment in 2026. Their rise has not gone unnoticed by Revolver or our readers, who voted the band one of the breakout acts of the year so far. 156/Silence built some serious steam while out on the road as one of the opening acts on Thornhill’s “Mercia Tour,” and they’ve kept the momentum going with the two bombastically heavy and melodic previews of their forthcoming sixth album, From a Distance. In other words: It’s been a momentous 2026 for 156/Silence to date, but we see even bigger things for them in the not-so-distant future. Fox Lake Denver-made hardcore rap-rockers Fox Lake will definitely be cranking up the intensity during their Inkcarceration appearance. The fiery sound of last year’s New World Heat is full of all-terrain breakdowns and braggadocios, Bizkit-esque swagger raps. Songs like the nu-bruised “Cold Hard Truth” and “Freestyle” have made waves in the scene and beyond — whether packing out pits on their recent tour with Thornhill, or causing a TiKTok trend while kids replicated Nathan Johnson’s dagger-eyed mosh calls. Expect to get pummeled by Fox Lake’s adrenalized, “all gas, no brakes” energy. Guilt Trip There’s going to be a ton of tough decisions to make while cruising between the various Inkcarceration stages, and the truth is you may not end up seeing every single band on the bill. Might we suggest, though, that you may feel some shame over missing Mancunian metallic-hardcore quintet Guilt Trip. The group are crossing the pond to pound the ground with the ten-ton hammering sound of their Armour of Angels album, which specializes in Machine Head-esque harmonics, Monster Energy-powered beatdown grooves and in-your-face vocals. If you hadn t already, it s time to get down in the dirt with Guilt Trip, who are likewise touring North America all summer long with Dying Wish. Killstreak We got gamercore outfit Killstreak’s Inkcarceration set before Grand Theft Auto 6. Killstreak’s homestate performance is primed to turn Mansfield into Vice City right about the time they speed into their recent, GTA-saluting “S.O.L.” track — a franchise-builder full of big brees, curb-stomped moshes and AR-grade double-kicks. They’ve also unlocked the cheat code for gaming-themed heaviness while riffing on Dead Space, Dungeon Keeper 2 and the Legend of Zelda. Turn off the console, put the controller down and get in the pit for Killstreak, who perform on the final day of Inkcarceration. Static Dress Static Dress suggested that “nostalgia kills” when they teamed-up with Underoath for their collaborative single of the same name. It’s a credo the U.K. quartet abide by throughout their newly delivered and forward-thinking injury episode album, a record that certainly dishes out its fair share of scream-heavy post-hardcore, while also fleshing out Static Dress’ sound with glossy pop hooks, numb-skullish metal groove, screamo sass, and maybe even a slice of subversive ska upstroking. It’s made them a creative force to be reckoned with, and fans all over the world have already started to cling tight to Static Dress’ chameleon-esque aesthetic. Grab a hold and enjoy the ride.

Metal News: Ice Nine Kills Premiere New Music Video For 'Play Dead' Feat. Tony Hawk, Devon Sawa More

We see the light: Ice Nine Kills have unleashed a killer new song based on iconic horror videogame Dead by Daylight, gaming the algorithm with a dark and depraved anthem called “Play Dead.” INK had been teasing their tribute to the survival horror game for the past few weeks, and premiered a music video during the franchise’s recent 10th anniversary livestream, but officially released the tune to the wider public today (June 26th). It’s the band s third single of the year, following their Scream song “Twisting the Knife” and the Eighties metal-styled “Hell or High Slaughter” for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (the latter performed as Grave Diggler). Their Dead by Daylight tribute was worked on alongside game composer Michel F. April “Play Dead” hooks you in with INK’s patented, super-singable theatricore gravitas, vocalist Spencer Charnas delivering earworm melodies on the chorus about “the darkness feeding on the heartless.” That said, he also goes extra guttural on the track, lunging into some of his nastiest, gnarliest growls yet — coincidentally, right about the time Charnas starts flailing from a makeshift gallows pole in the vid. The music video likewise finds a digi-skinned Charnas analogue getting chased around an abandoned car lot by Dead by Daylight’s masked antagonists. The song also taps into DBD lore while talking up a depraved ritual and various sacrifices made to appease the Entity. “Ice Nine Kills has always lived somewhere between menace and mischief. ‘Play Dead,’ our take on Dead by Daylight, is a collision of hooks, horror, and total chaos,” Charnas explained in a statement. “Collaborating with Dead by Daylight gave us the chance to step into a world that feels deeply aligned with our creative instincts. The game has an incredible legacy, and that chaotic, eerie, immersive energy is something we respect and admire. We wanted the song to feel like a real extension of that universe, not just inspired by it, but genuinely part of it.” INK likewise tease their ongoing Horrorwood world-building storyline with a bonus scene involving guest spots from Tony Hawk, Terrifier 3’s Krsy Fox, horror icon Devon Sawa (Idle Hands, Final Destination) and — perhaps most oddly — Dingbar Tarbani, a “disgraced opera singer” who looks suspiciously like Charnas. You ll find the full Play Dead video up above, while the extended bonus chapter is coming soon. More info on the latter here.

(written by Islander) Shades of mental and emotional darkness have been features of heavy metal in general, and extreme metal in particular, for a very long time. Sometimes it’s been represented through supernatural imagery and lyricism, sometimes by more direct experiences of real-world turmoil and desolation. But while it’s commonplace to see descriptions of metal [...]
