Another band that impressed us highly earlier this summer when they played at Tuska, is the German metalcore outfit Annisokay! They just recently unleashed a new video single with ‘Get Your Sh!t Together’, out via Arising Empire, and will be roaming through Europe as support for Within Temptation later this year!

Norwegian hardcore/punk unit Daufødt released the new single ‘Toxic’, a track from their upcoming album ‘Glitter’, set for release via Fysisk Format on September 20!
