BORN OF OSIRIS – The War That You Are (Official Visualizer)

American progressive metalcore band Born of Osiris depicts the inner conflicts we all carry.

Its message—that hope never fades, no matter how deep the darkness—may give you a powerful push forward as you fight through difficult circumstances.

The piece is included on the album “Through Shadows,” releasing in July 2025, which also marks the final album featuring the guitarist who supported the band for many years.

When you long to change but can’t take the first step, surrendering yourself to this torrent of sound will inspire the courage to overcome your inner battles.

Car Bomb – Blindsides [Official Music Video]

With labyrinthine rhythms and overwhelming destructive force, the American band Car Bomb lures listeners into another dimension.

This track, released in advance from their EP “Tiles Whisper Dreams,” due out in August 2025, is perfectly suited to mark the band’s 25th anniversary.

Guitarist Greg Kubacki says it’s “the one I’ve most wanted to write” in his career, and it leaves a vivid impression through the contrast between a violent deluge of sound and suddenly emerging shoegaze-tinged melodies.

It may be portraying the hope that ambushes us amid a chaotic reality, or the shock of moments that overturn our perceptions.

Put it on when you want to blast away the stifling feeling of everyday life, and you’re in for a bracing experience that feels like your brain is being shaken directly.

A powerful track from two titans teaming up: the legendary Virginia duo Clipse and modern hip-hop icon Kendrick Lamar! This compelling piece packs a punch by loading the phrase “chains and whips” with a double meaning—symbols of wealth and success on one hand, and historical oppression on the other.

Clipse’s portrayal of street realities collides with Kendrick’s searing message of “no compromise,” all over a weighty Pharrell Williams–produced soundscape.

Taken from the album Let God Sort Em Out, slated for July 2025, the song also made waves after being showcased at a Louis Vuitton show.

Their resolve—willing to face conflict in order to stand by their convictions—is sure to inspire.

Its delicate, dramatic sound—reportedly reworked twice with a Grammy-winning producer—resonates deeply.

It’s a lead single from his fourth album, Wishbone, scheduled for release in August 2025, and the music video, featuring actor Corey Fogelmanis as his lover, plays like a short film.

The emotional distance conveyed without words heightens the late-summer melancholy even more.
