It looks like it’s back-to-school season for everyone! And that’s exactly what today’s lineup of new releases suggests. Ranging from rock’n’roll to stoner metal, we’ve put together a short (or not-so-short) list of what caught our attention today - in alphabetical order, because my OCD hasn’t left the chat yet.

Recently seen on stage at Motocultor, Hellfest, and VandB Fest, Revnoir is keeping the momentum going and today releases Fracture, a track that prompts reflection on humanity in this day and age, and announces its debut album, Sometimes I Feel You, Sometimes I Don’t, set for release on November 27 via Arising Empire!

156/Silence is releasing From A Distance today, and has no plans to send out invitations. They’re letting you come on your own. It’s more economical that way. Following People Watching, released in 2024 -which had already shown a desire to break away from the standard metalcore formula- the band continues here to push the boundaries a little further. The first previews already offered us songwriting that was as diverse as it was surprising, with delightfully varied sounds.

Friday, August 28, 2026. A date that the Earama team (and I) had been eagerly awaiting to discover Beartooth’s new album: Pure Ecstasy. Filled with deep meaning and marked by a notable evolution, this album will surprise many and lays the groundwork for a new, more ful Empreint de significations profondes et d’une évolution notable, c’est un album qui en surprendra plus d’un, et qui pose les bases d’un nouveau Beartooth plus épanoui, et d’un nouveau Caleb Shomo plus ouvert

On July 17, Boundaries released “Yearning: The Unbeautiful After", their powerful new album. Our reviewer has the scoop!

Hun: The Hu’s ancestral, family-centered, respectful, and spellbinding prayer for war and peace. This is how I would describe this album, which was just released on July 24.

To celebrate Iron Maiden’s 50-year career, the legendary band presented a show in Paris entirely dedicated to its first nine albums. This anniversary tour deliberately sets aside recent songs to return to the classics that built the band’s legend. We were lucky enough to see them during their stop at the Défense Arena; it was a promising evening, but one that left a bitter aftertaste regarding the venue’s reputation.

After nearly 10 years without any signs of a concert in Europe, System of a Down is making a comeback in France, and not just any comeback: A first concert announced at the Stade de France, with Queens of the Stone Age and Acid Bath as opening acts on July 2, 2026, in front of 80,000 people, sold out completely as soon as tickets went on presale, leading to the announcement of a second show scheduled two days later, which also sold out shortly thereafter.

After more than 10 years without a headlining show in the French capital, Black Veil Brides took the stage at the Bataclan for a concert that had sold out months in advance. With Saint Agnes as the opening act, the evening promised a burst of rock with punk and/or metal influences - and it did not disappoint.

French lineup on April 19 in Vauréal: Resolve and Ashen, two rising stars of the French metalcore scene, shared the main stage at the Forum in Vauréal. The concert drew a sizable crowd, largely due to the venue’s proximity to Paris and the fact that Resolve had no dates scheduled in the capital during this tour.

Sometimes booed, sometimes admired, Black Veil Brides have been the subject of much media and hater buzz over the years. Defying the clichés and caricatures of their early days, the band has now completely shifted its artistic direction to offer us the best of an evolution forged over time and through experience. Let’s take a look back at their journey to better understand this major turning point.

Whether you are a metalhead or not, the name Iron Maiden has most likely reached your ears at one point or another. This pillar of Heavy Metal still gathers thousands of people during international tours today, continuing to offer an intergenerational audience a show worthy of its reputation after 50 years of existence. But what is it that makes Iron Maiden such a unique band?

Signed to Atlantic, with two new singles under their belt and a headlining North American tour that sold out in a matter of hours, PRESIDENT is proving in early 2026 what many already suspected: the British masked band is not just a fleeting viral sensation. They’re a machine that’s revving up, and they know exactly where they’re going.

On February 5, the Zenith, Paris was filled with a crowd ready to rock out to Lorna Shore, accompanied by Humanity's Last Breath, Shadow of Intent, and Whitechapel. It was a lineup that promised to be heavy, and it clearly did not disappoint. Photo gallery and report available here!

The year kicks off with one of the most eagerly awaited dates: Electric Callboy, who are set to set the main stage at La Villette alight with a show that promises to be as electric as it is moving. Accompanied by Bury Tomorrow and Wargasm, the lineup promises an extraordinary evening of metalcore that is sure to get the crowd sweating. Live report and photos available here !

It was a long wait - more than 20 years into their career - before Three Days Grace crossed the Atlantic and honored us with a concert, but it was worth it. We were there, lucky us, and we're here to tell you all about it.

Sold out for months, Bad Omens’ Paris show on December 2nd was one of the most anticipated metal events of 2025 for French metalheads. A night that once again demonstrated the band’s rapid rise - both through their performance and the sheer size of the crowd gathered in La Villette’s main hall. Live Report and photos are available here !

On August 8th, we were thrilled to discover the band’s brand new and sixth album, which brings Halestorm back to their signature style: Heavy Metal! A complex record, both in substance and form, offering a true introspective journey to the listener.

A family atmosphere and an accessible, comfortable festival: that's what Heavy Week-End has been offering since 2024. After two ambitious editions with impressive results, the Grand Est festival is growing and making a big splash once again with the announcement of its three headliners for its third edition.

Thursday, October 2, 2025. The Zenith in Paris is packed to the rafters for this all-Australian lineup celebrating the 20-year career of the now legendary Parkway Drive.
