Lorna Shore

Bring Me the Horizon continue to slay on the fest circuit, and managed to connect with old friends BABYMETAL over the weekend to once again bring 2020 collaborative track “Kingslayer” to life onstage. The latest team-up took place this past Saturday night (June 20th) at Dessel, Belgium’s Graspop Metal Meeting festival, during Bring Me the Horizon’s headlining set at the fest’s South stage, a few hours after BABYMETAL had performed on the North stage. The two acts have managed to perform the cut live together a few times since “Kingslayer” was released on Bring Me The Horizon‘s 2020 LP Post Human: Survival Horror. As in the past BABYMETAL performed synchronized dance moves and leaned into their kawaii-metal-style vocal melodies, while BMTH’s Oli Sykes prowled and growled behind them on-stage. And then they all headbanged together during the breakdown. You can see how it all played out via the fan-shot footage up above. BMTH s onstage union with BABYMETAL follows last week s team-up between them and Lorna Shore vocalist Will Ramos. In other news, Bring Me the Horizon shared a teaser for an upcoming song called “[Dehumanized],” which will be released this Thursday (June 25th). The trailer is scored by mood-jarring symphony strings and a montage of blood-dripping scenes apparently taking place in some kind of viscera-slicked torture room. It’s accompanied by the following message: “Who will survive? And what will be left of them?” You can check out that sneak preview down below, while the band’s 20th anniversary re-recording of Count Your Blessings is out July 10th. View this post on Instagram

Bring Me The Horizon surprised fans during their headlining set at Hellfest Open Air in Clisson, France on June 18th by bringing out Lorna Shore vocalist Will Ramos to perform "Antivist" from Sempiternal. nbsp...

After an unforgettable performance at Rock For People, Bring Me The Horizon double down at Hellfest with special guest, Will Ramos.

Bring Me the Horizon brought out Lorna Shore vocalist Will Ramos for their Hellfest set in France last night (June 18th), the deathcore A-lister helping the band out for a heavy performance of Sempiternal’s “Antivist.” The team-up took place mid-way through BMTH’s headlining performance in Clisson, France. Oli Sykes and Co. have often brought fans up onstage to sing the Sempiternal track, and the band initially passed off Ramos as another kid in the crowd, vocalist Sykes joking to the rest of the audience, “Be nice to him, even if he’s shit. Alright?” “Hey, I might fuck this one up, so I’m going to need as much help as I can get,” Ramos quipped. You can see how well Ramos hit the mic by giving their beastly collab a peep via the fan-shot live footage up above and down below. Bring Me the Horizon had previously invited other notable metalheads to hit the track with them in concert. This includes Bad Omens’ Noah Sebastian, who performed with them at London, UK’s O2 Arena in 2024, and Sleep Token guitarist IV, who took the honors that same year during a concert in Australia.

The Sheffield band headlined day one of the Clisson heavy metal weekender on Thursday (June 18)

Ramos was brought onstage as a 'fan' to guest on the "Sempiternal" track.

The gods of heavy have blessed music fans thus far into 2026. We’re only just halfway through the year, but it’s already shaping up to be another golden time for metal — one that’s provided iconic farewells and surprise hellos, bands doubling their fun with a pair of blistering LPs, and the announcement of many mega-anticipated releases. To highlight what’s come through the pipeline to date, we asked our readers to vote for the records that have had them banging their heads the most. They responded and ranked their faves accordingly. Lamb of God Into Oblivion Even outside of this week’s fan poll, our readers have been reminding us that they are fully down with the latest LOG release. Hell, someone pops up in our Instagram comments most Fridays to tell us that Into Oblivion’s “Blunt Force Blues” is one of the band’s best songs yet. In what you’ll see is a bit of a running theme here, Into Oblivion finds Lamb of God critiquing the global hellscape around them through a series of virulent thrashers and groove-heavy smashers. It’s filthy, to be sure, but it’s clear that lots of metalheads were ready for a baaaad case of “Sepsis.” Periphery A Pale White Dot There are actually 12 dots on the cover of Periphery’s latest album, some paler than others. Nevertheless, the presentation of the progressive force’s eighth studio album makes our readers blush — whether the act are vaulting between the derelict, djent-pressed heaviness of “Mr. God” and more melodic anthems like “Heaven on High,” or mixing ambient synth washes with extreme blasts on “Obsession.” The collabs with Lorna Shore’s Will Ramos and Beartooth’s Caleb Shomo clearly had the fans clapping, too. Converge Love Is Not Enough (or) Hum of Hurt What’s better than getting one Converge album in 2026? Getting two, of course! This year saw the Massachusetts metalcore veterans deliver both Love Is Not Enough and Hum of Hurt in just under four months, and our heads are still swimming over all that heaviness. Indeed, Revolver readers couldn t pick one album over the one. While there are exceptions to the rule, the first part is perhaps a touch faster, while Hum gets a little groovier and weirder. And while Jacob Bannon poses that “it only gets worse” on the latter — at least on a narrative level — it’s truly a great and prosperous time to be a Converge fan. Neurosis An Undying Love for a Burning World One of the wildest surprise announcements to come this year was the return of psych-sludge greats Neurosis, who dropped a whole damn album on us this spring completely out of nowhere. What’s more, the lineup has evolved to now include Isis and Sumac vocalist-guitarist Aaron Turner, and he is a seamless fit. Indeed, the NeurIsis connection is complete. From the overstimulation of the announcement itself, to the actual sonic heft of the record’s gargantuan grooves and gorgeous layering, it’s a lot to take in. Yet Neurosis’ return filled out hearts with joy. The world is both literally and metaphorically burning around us, but metal fans’ love of Neurosis is unwavering. Evanescence Sanctuary No surprise here: Revolver readers found solace within the strains of Evanescence’s stunning and much-anticipated sixth full-length, Sanctuary. Amy Lee and Co. laid the bait last year with the booming single “Afterlife and continued to reel listeners in with their massively anthemic “Who Will You Follow.” For those who love the group s emotionally towering choruses, nu-brooded dynamics and Lee’s unwaveringly mighty vibrato, the rest of the record delivers just as big. And it s been rapturously received by the fandom, to say the least. Early in the record, Lee asks someone to “tell me when you’ve had enough.” Given the myriad votes cast for Sanctuary, there’s an infinitude of spins to go before we reach our limit.

Motionless in White have poured out more “Sweat and Blood” in the lead-up to their next album, Decades. Following the recent “Playing God” collab with Slipknot’s Corey Taylor, the metalcore mainstays have delivered a melodic, mournful team-up with singer-songwriter Skylar Grey called “R.I.P.” The new song is described in a press release as evoking “the power of a lover s lament inscribed on a headstone,” and begins with a dramatic piano intro and a vocal turn from guest singer Grey. Chris Motionless comes in soon after, contemplating loss above a powerful, but melancholic hard rock arrangement (“This can’t be the end!”). MIW’s leader said in a statement that the tune was written through “a romantic lens,” but its themes of loss “can be applied to any moment in your life when you ve had a falling out with someone you deeply care about, whether that s a best friend, family member, or romantic partner.” He continues: “The song really hones in on the deafening silence that follows after you ve said hurtful things to one another that you wish you could take back. It s meant to capture the tension that exists in that quiet space of separation. “You want to apologize and make things right, but you don t know how. You want to tell them you love them more than anything and can t live without them, but there s a lot of pain on both sides that has to be confronted first. All the while, you re left with the crippling uncertainty of whether the relationship can ever recover and move forward, or if it s destined to be laid to rest and gone forever.” He added of the duet, “Skylar s voice brought it to another level that I never could have achieved on my own.” Pay your respects by giving Motionless in White’s “R.I.P.” a stream up above. As previously reported, Motionless in White’s Decades sees release July 17th via Roadrunner Records. The record includes “Playing God” and early 2026 single “Afraid of the Dark”. A pre-order for Decades on Black, Ruby and Tax vinyl is currently available in Revolver s shop. The summer leg of Motionless in White’s “The Sweat and Blood Tour” begins July 14th at Bridgeport, Connecticut’s Hartford HealthCare Amphitheater, and features support from Lorna Shore, Fit for a King and Static Dress. The tour resumes October 30th at Worcester, Massachusetts’ DCU Center, but with Dayseeker, the Devil Wears Prada and Dark Divine as the openers. You’ll find the full tour breakdown here.
