Evanescence

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 metalcore, nu-rock, industrial 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. A Place to Kill Jet Engine On the one hand, an industrial titan like Richard Patrick — he of Filter, Nine Inch Nails and more — needs no introduction. That said, his first single with new project A Place to Kill — co-plotted with rock photographer and There Is No Us frontman Jim Louvau — makes for a hell of a hello. The group’s “Jet Engine” is lean but ruthlessly efficient, a steady machine clank and Patrick’s wobble-heavy keyboard tones pushing air around Louvau’s steely-eyed whispers and incensed screams. Baring teeth and booming synth-bass aggression, it’s sure to kill on the dance floor. Avatar Crying Fire Fire and water have been elemental to the latest round of Avatar tracks, from the seafaring “Captain Goat” to the burnt timber that surrounded the band in the video for Don’t Go in the Forest’s title track. New standalone single “Crying Fire” — which was recorded during those same album sessions — is a force of nature that manages to sit between those poles. Driven by tuneful Eighties-style pop-metal arpeggiation, the song has vocalist Johannes Eckerström fever-dream crooning of a forest nap where branches cover his “secret, naked skin.” At first, he’s met with a refreshing morning mist. By song’s end, everything’s covered in a downpour of the sun’s “crying fire.” A passionate trad-metal anthem from the Swedish vets. Converge I Won t Let You Go Hum of Hurt, Converge’s second album of the year, is arguably a more brooding and stretched-out experience than the panicked, tempo-pushing hardcore assaults of Love Is Not Enough. And yet, it still showcases frantic pieces like mid-album wrecker “I Won’t Let You Go,” a damned chaotic yet oddly danceable entry in Converge’s canon. The beats initially shift and twist like a metallic samba before Ben Koller goes beast mode on a Red Bull-charged blitz. Guitars and bass grind through dissonant staccato dynamism. Jacob Bannon howls bleakly of “living in fear of vulnerability,” yet strives for connection. Like many Converge songs before it, it’s delivered with an urgency that ll to grab you at your core. Evanescence Beautiful Lie “I am the power.” Evanescence’s Sanctuary album starts off strong with an ominously-toned, self-empowerment anthem that finds Amy Lee’s lyrical protagonist reclaiming agency (“I don’t belong to you”) and moving on from a time-and-patience-testing emotional battleground (“Baby, this is your war, but it’s killing the both of us”). Lee’s vibrato ebbs and flow from measured melodizing to something monolithic, and comes supported by crow-black nu-hooks, slap-crazed bass playing and more. Fuming Mouth A Blaze of Nihilism A welcomed return with a wild twist, “A Blaze of Nihilism” is the first song from Fuming Mouth to feature their latest drummer, former Slipknot and Suicidal Tendencies skinsman Jay Weinberg. He brings a brutal wallop to the track, but the rest of the New England heavymakes go for broke, too. Together, they torch the intro with earth-scorching intensity before locking into grave-sodden death grooves and an uncouth, out-of-pocket solo from vocalist-guitarist Mark Whelan. It only gets weirder when they close things out with a creeped-out nursery rhyme. Fuming Mouth’s latest heater is meant to be listened to at top volume. The ringing in your ears will be worth it. Mastodon Your Ghost Again The latest Mastodon single may well be their heaviest yet, because it’s the first piece of new music to be released by the iconic metal band since founding guitarist Brent Hinds’ tragic 2025 death. The surviving members grieve in-song through lyrics about how the “world went black,” as well as lines that vocalist-drummer Brann Dailor has suggested are somewhat about sensing their fallen brother-in-arms’ presence in the recording studio with them. Sonically, Mastodon s reflective path forward begins with sludge-fisted riffery that harkens back to the Remission days, before delivering a wistful, whimsical strain of heavy prog. In all, it s a perfectly bittersweet way to open the band s next chapter.

From HIM to Evanescence, Type O Negative to Misfits, these are the greatest albums released in the goth metal pantheon

Pussy Riot, Evanescence, DevilDriver and more feature in this week's best new metal song round-up

A few months after announcing their new album with the gloriously anthemic, reality-questioning “Who Will You Follow” single, towering rock force Evanescence have finally invited listeners to check out the rest of their Sanctuary. The band’s sixth album officially arrived in stores and onto streamers today (June 5th). As previously reported, Sanctuary features not only the chug-battering “Who Will You Follow,” which became Evanescence’s first-ever single to top Billboard’s Hard Rock Song Chart, but the group’s 2025 single “Afterlife.” The record features songs produced alongside Zakk Cervini (Poppy, Motionless in White), Jordan Fish (Poppy, BABYMETAL, Architects) and Nick Raskulinecz (Korn, Foo Fighters, Rush). Sanctuary delivers deep-djented rock riffs and symphonic grandeur (“Self Destruct”). Elsewhere, the cavernous, rockslide drum production and doom-brooded guitar gravitas of “Rapture” support Lee’s lines on reclaiming ownership of oneself (“I’m giving back all the shame I carried for you”). “Calm Down” slow-creeps its way through Lee’s operatic bombast, as well as cooly gospel-ish backups, nu-dustrial flourishes and arena-huge hooks. As measured in contrasts, the chorus of otherwise feather-soft piano ballad Forever Without You may arguably find Lee pushing her powerful vibrato the hardest. While album opener “Beautiful Lie” begins with Lee’s assertion that “I don’t belong to you,” Evanescence’s new album now belongs to the fans. You can stream the album in full up above. Evanescence’s world tour starts next Thursday (June 11th) at West Palm Beach, Florida’s iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre. The North American leg of dates features openers Spiritbox and Nova Twins. A European run with Poppy take place later in the year. You’ll find all of Evanescence’s upcoming show schedule here.

Plus releases from August Burns Red, Evergrey, Voivid, Blood Incantation, Cyhra, and Fucked Up.

Part of the 'Mile End Kicks' soundtrack.

From Empty Hands to “Hand in My Pocket” — genre-defier Poppy has officially released an Alanis Morissette cover as part of the soundtrack to Canadian indie film Mile End Kicks. While director Chandler Levack’s coming-of-age film set during Montreal, Quebec’s mid Aughts indie-rock scene premiered at the Toronto International Film Fest last fall, and received a wider theatrical release in April, Poppy’s cover of Morissette’s Jagged Little Pill single formally hit streamers today (May 26th). If you’re expecting to hear the kinds of blood-curdling metalcore screams Poppy affixed to the heaviest moments of Empty Hands, you’re going to come up…well…empty handed. Instead, Poppy hits a reasonably grounded rendition of the anthemic mid Nineties Morissette number, possibly with one hand playing a piano. What it all comes down to is this: Poppy’s Alanis cover is streaming up above via Sumerian Records. As previously reported, Poppy drops into her “Constantly Nowhere” North American headline tour later this summer and then spends her fall supporting Evanescence on a European tour.
