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 death-metal demo upgrades, chilly djent ballads, paparazzi-punching hard rock 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. 156/Silence No Arms While we catch a whiff of Korn in the “Blind”-style pre-chorus groove of 156/Silence newest cut, “No Arms” is likewise an illuminating look at what else the Pittsburgh unit bring to their worlds-building metalcore. From industrialized synth-patter, to Teflon riff brawn, to the soaringly melodic vocal, the tune is armed to the teeth with the good stuff. Catch the track live if you can, as 156/Silence are still on tour as part of Thornhill’s Mercia Tour — which is proudly presented by Revolver. Allt Snowblind “Transgressive” is the first word Allt vocalist Robin Malmgren coos on the Swedish band’s latest single, which fits, considering this isn’t a stone-cold Sabbath cover. The band defy expectations in a few other ways, too, with the melodically djent-pounding “Snowblind” arriving decidedly sweeter than some of the bleakest bits of 2024’s post-apocalyptic From the New World album. Then again, Malmgren also spends time singing about the ice cracking beneath him, and those riffs do ring heavy. They may yet pull the ground out from beneath us with the rest of this summer’s Ataraxia collection. breakkaway Run away with me “Run away with me” finds multi-genre manipulators breakkaway juicing disparate sounds into a unique pool of sound. Broken code glitch-core production tics, harmonic-popping guitar tones recalling Polyphia at their most emo, and big-chugging explosions support Jessica Li’s coming-of-age lyrics about the devastation of not getting a birthday text from your crush. While the musical aesthetic is mostly delicate, breakkaway reinforce how teenage heartbreak can be super brutal. No Cure Convulsing in the Dark “Tell me why you deserve to keep breathing.” Straight-edge Alabamans No Cure go for the throat across “Convulsing in the Dark,” vocalist Blaythe Steuer literally screaming about wrapping a mitt around someone’s larynx before gouging their eyes out and plunging them into a lasting darkness. It’s visceral, as are the disgustingly pinched-out tones and gargantuan chugs supporting Steuer’s tirade. The kind of metalcore grotesquerie that — in honor of No Cure’s slippery video co-star — makes us want to gyrate to the groove in a pool of rancid raspberry jam. Left to Die Archangel Metal icon Chuck Schuldiner’s earliest songs will live on through the new, studio-recorded album from Death-devotees Left to Die — the supergroup featuring Death co-founding guitarist Rick Rozz, Spiritual Healing bassist Terry Butler and Gruesome members Matt Harvey and Gus Rios. “Archangel” has floated around through live recordings and patchy demo dubs for decades, and it rips eternal. Fear not, the new blitzing studio redux retains all of its hellacious grit, buzzsaw guitars trilling like a Phantasm ball on the fritz whilst Harvey rasps Schuldiner-style. The Initium Mortis album will feature a mix of re-recorded songs from both Death and Rozz and Schuldiner’s pre-Death incarnation, Mantas. Sounds heavenly. The Warning EGO The sisters Villarreal can do no wrong this year, and the Warning’s latest single may well be their best of 2026 — at least so far. “EGO” starts strong with a polyphonic octave-warped hook and a devilishly danceable backbeat, then guitarist Dany spikes through defiantly noisy accents. The Spanish-sung single offers cool, FAFO warnings to anyone steppin’ to the sisters (“Yo no ladro, yo solo muerdo”) before drummer Pau throws some monster screams our way. “EGO” is built to keep the haters in check. It’s killer.
Thornhill had a massive 2025, and the momentum is only building through 2026 so far. Last year, the Australian alt-metal rising stars released an acclaimed new album, BODIES, toured the U.S. as direct support for Sleep Token, and went viral with a cover of Lady Gaga s Paparazzi, amid many career-defining milestones. Now, the band is in the homestretch of a triumphant North American headline tour — presented by Revolver — that serves as something of a victory lap. Named for Thornhill s September 2025 single, the Mercia Tour swept through a unseasonably balmy New York City yesterday (May 20th) for a sold-out show at Webster Hall, where the lineup brought its own heat. The proceedings were opened by jazz-funk-djent Berlin weirdos Vianova (playing their first U.S. tour ever), rap-metal barn-stormers Fox Lake and metalcore faves 156/Silence. But the night belonged to the headliners, who brought groove, swagger, sultry atmospherics and explosive energy to The City That Never Sleeps. Photographer Dimitry Mak was on hand to capture all the action — check out some of his standout shots below. The Revolver presented Mercia Tour continues tomorrow night (May 22nd) in Toronto.

So are we people watching from a distance?
156/Silence have just announced their sixth record, 'From A Distance,' will be out on September 4 via Pure Noise Records.
While 156/Silence are currently focused on crushing crowds as an opening act on Thornhill’s ongoing “Mercia Tour”, the Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania metalcore unit have announced they’ll be delivering a new album called From A Distance in the near future. Ahead of the official album release, they’ve dropped a big-grooved first single called “No Arms.” A press release explains that the new album follows 2024’s Revolver-loved People Watching, and it also marks their full-length debut for Pure Noise Records. The first single swirls through nu-inspired grooves and anthemic modern metalcore, with a side-dose of tense, retro-electronica arpeggiation. Lyrically, it hints at “wasted days,” emotional scars, and trying to find one’s purpose through the “war.” The band said this about the track in a joint statement: “‘No Arms’ is about being without a way to protect yourself and what belongs to you. Being alone and afraid, not having any means to control the situations that befall on us. The overwhelming feeling of being helpless until we’re not. Until somebody saves us.” Unless you’re saving yourself for the full LP, you can check out 156/Silence’s new song via the chase-imbued music video up above. The band’s From A Distance was produced by Josh Schroeder (King 810, Lorna Shore, The Plot In You), and is said to be “heavy as hell, while leaning into atmosphere, mood, and emotional impact even harder.” The record also features guest spots from the Devil Wears Prada’s Mike Hranica and Make Them Suffer’s Alex Reade. Conceptually, the band were apparently inspired by the game scores for Resident Evil and Silent Hill, as well as the eerie vibes of Twin Peaks and Severance (a sample from the latter is said to open the album). From A Distance is out September 4th via Pure Noise, though a pre-order for an exclusive variant on “Copper Black Ice Shimmer Blend” vinyl (limited to only 250 copies, and bundled with a signed insert) is up now in Revolver’s shop.
