Here at Revolver, we re always on the hunt for new songs to bang our heads to — indeed, it s a big part of our jobs. With that in mind, here are the tracks released this week in straight-edge hardcore, lapsteel heaviness and more that have been on heavy rotation at Revolver HQ. For your listening pleasure, we ve also compiled the songs in an ever-evolving Spotify playlist. Dead Tired Dust Storm Feat. Andrew Neufeld Dead Tired, the heavy side project from Alexisonfire vocalist George Petitt, slow the tempo a touch from their recently D-beating “Edge of Entropy” single to deliver a pensively pounded-out waltz. “Dust Storm” stirs things up with a chunkily swung rhythm that highlights tumbleweedin’ pedal steel textures and Pettit’s True Grit bark. The Canadian act bring out countryman and Comeback Kid/Kill Shot vocalist Andrew Neufeld to add a little extra heft. Distant All Will Be (N)one Feat. Ricky Myers of Suffocation Dutch/Slovakian deathcore miscreants Distant announced their new album, Into Despair, with a bang this week courtesy of pulverizing lead single All Will Be (N)one. As the title suggests, the song revolves around humanity s fear of the inevitability of death, and like an unstoppable force itself, the bulldozing cut scours the earth, leaving funeral plots in its wake. It starts heavier and ends almost incomprehensibly heavier, with Suffocation s Ricky Myers adding his burly death growls to ensure there are no survivors. Kamelot Ashen World Feat. Ignacia Fernández Late last year, Decessus frontwoman Ignacia Fernández broke the internet performing an original death-metal song while competing in the Miss World Chile beauty pageant, which she ultimately ended up winning. This week, the vocalist made headlines again, this time as a guest on the new single from symphonic-metal veterans Kamelot. Characteristically epic and triumphant, the soaring paean is about breaking free from the limiting beliefs that hold us captive and creating a new reality that allow us to expand and realize our full potential. In other words, a fitting anthem for a heavy-metal queen currently in the running for the 2026 Miss World crown. Living Weapon The Leaving Process With “The Leaving Process,” Living Weapon introduced us to one of the most fabulously guts-stomping songs of the week. Comprising various members of vein.fm and Fleshwater, the group push past the impressive pedigree with noise-thrash anti-harmonies and viscera-flinging metal menace. Their upcoming debut album, Death in the Family, is reportedly themed around “mortality, meaninglessness, and the aftermath of existence.” The new single’s gnarly video concept — what appears to be a hulking muscleman primal screaming his way into consciousness after being birthed out of a six-foot pile of ground beef — seems to fit the bill. No Cure When the Spasms Cease How did we get here? No Cure frontman Blaythe Steuer might be poking at the existentially soul-sucking nature of office-job culture with the lyrics to the Alabama metalcore band’s newest single, “When the Spasms Cease” (“Rented bodies kept for gold/Pulled apart and under control”). Its music video, which finds the vocalist enduring a poor performance review and an awkward Zoom call with a superior (played by Callous Daoboys member Carson Pace) may well confirm this, too. However you’re running your 9-to-5, ripping through Excel sheets and data dumps while blasting the no-holds-barred “When the Spasms Cease” on repeat should speed the day along nicely. STAY DEAD! Electric Mistress Feat. Matt Pike Fresh off the news that he s no longer in Sleep, underground-metal icon Matt Pike has resurfaced on the debut song from doom collective STAY DEAD! The group is led by U.S. Army veteran Christopher Borrelli, who formed STAY DEAD! as a therapeutic outlet for struggles with PTSD, panic disorder and decades of grief. This all-too-real trauma comes through on introductory single Electric Mistress, a sludgy, Sabbathian hymn for healing and survival. Contrasting singer Ryan Garney s soulful cries, Pike comes in around the 3:50 marks with gnarled, wounded-animal growls that add extra grit and pain to the proceedings.
