Levels will release new album This Will Make You Feel Something Again on April 10 through SharpTone Records.
Vocalist Kolby Carignan said: “For us, the main priority is to make you feel something.
“If you come to a LEVELS show or listen to a record, you should leave fully nourished. We don’t create songs; we create experiences.”
“As creativity becomes shackled to algorithms and artificial intelligence, TWMYFA subverts the standard and unapologetically delivers emotionally charged experiences grounded in reality and rhythm,” the band declares.
“Through its pulverizing riffs, electric energy, and hypnotic melodies, this release extensively explores elements of the modern human struggle—such as maintaining a sense of identity, reconciling religion with reality, and adapting in the wake of the unimaginable. From the void of collateral content, this album reaches out to offer you an escape: To feel.”

Masterplan will release new album Metalmorphosis on June 26 through Frontiers SRL. It’s their first album since 2013.
Roland Grapow said: “Metalmorphosis” really captures what this album means to us: a transformation, but still true to the spirit of Masterplan. We’ve grown over the years, both as musicians and as people, and you can hear that in the new songs. Some ideas go back many years, and now they’ve finally come to life. It’s powerful, melodic, and emotional – classic Masterplan, but with a new energy”.

Sugar Horse – Not a Sound in Heaven

Sugar Horse will release new album Not a Sound in Heaven on April 10 through Fat Dracula Records!
Vocalist Ash Tubb said: “Ever since I was born I can remember visions of war, famine, and death being beamed directly into my living room via the magic of television.
“These visions were accompanied by newsreader narratives designed to either humanise or dehumanise the people involved. We humanise our government’s allies and dehumanise their enemies. This is taken as common sense, or even wisdom to some degree. People watch the news and accept it as fact, simple and true.
“As a person gets older they move in one of three different directions with this acceptance of reality; They embrace what they’re being told, they fall into a kind of trust free nihilism or they learn that there are deeper narratives at play.
“Not A Sound In Heaven is an aged acceptance of the latter. An acceptance of sitting at the centre of a global empire of both military and economic dimensions. An acceptance that the stories we’re told as a nation, or what’s generally in the zeitgeist, isn’t necessarily reality itself.
“How does a person cope with the weight—and, frankly, the guilt—of a society that perpetuates such distinct inequalities? A society that thinks a bit of killing abroad is fine, as long as it improves the lives of people at home. You can see why so many choose to embrace it. Hell, nihilism seems pretty sensible. Once a person decides upon pursuing a degree of truth however, things get a bit depressing. Beyond depressing…maddening.
“This album explores this kind of breezy, frivolous subject matter in a manner that will no doubt be uplifting to the listener and massively financially rewarding for the artist.”
