The Wound and the Weapon (Feat. Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord)Still Remains

Still Remains – The Wound and the Weapon (Feat. Guy Kozowyk of The Red Chord)

Still Remains, hailing from Michigan, made their mark in the mid-2000s with melodic metalcore.

With emotive, keyboard-forward arrangements and twin guitars inspired by Scandinavian melodic death metal as their weapons of choice, they went on hiatus in 2008 but reunited in 2011.

In October 2025, they released their first new song in 12 years.

Featuring The Red Chord frontman Guy Kozowyk as a guest vocalist, the track strikingly weaves together the band’s signature emotive clean vocal melodies with Guy’s ferocious death growls.

Its lyrics, depicting people who keep fighting by turning their scars into weapons, resonate with the band’s name and its theme of “what remains.” The song is a lead single from the five-track EP Spirit Breaker, and it’s one that every fan hoping for a resurgence of 2000s metalcore will want to hear!

Entwined (ft. Grimes)Sub Focus

Sub Focus – Entwined (ft. Grimes)

A producer who has led the UK drum and bass scene since the 2000s, Sub Focus released his new track on Halloween day, October 2025.

Featuring Canadian experimental artist Grimes, the song is a lead single from the November album “Contact.” Its lyrics, which explore human connection through the grand motif of outer space, leave a strong impression.

Starting with dreamy vocals and unfolding into shimmering synths and tight breakbeats, the dynamics showcase the latest form of the melodious drum and bass Sub Focus has refined over the years.

Balancing an epic worldview with floor-ready explosive power, this track is a must-listen for anyone who wants to experience the cutting edge of club music.

MercurySub Urban

Sub Urban – Mercury (Official Music Video)

Sub Urban, whose 2019 signature track went viral and made him a leading figure in dark pop, has released a new single in October 2025 that portrays the distortions in human relationships eroded by technology.

The track ambitiously uses mercury as a metaphor to express the lingering sense of surveillance that clings to the body like spyware and the fear of having one’s identity stripped away by AI.

Its meticulous sound design—four-on-the-floor kicks, shoegaze-style synth processing, and chamber-pop-inspired strings—is another highlight, further distilling the artistic vision he deepened on the June 2025 album “If Nevermore.” It’s a must-listen for anyone who resonates with the suffocating mood of the digital age.

PrivateThe Neighbourhood

The Neighbourhood – Private (Official Music Video)

The Neighbourhood have made a full-fledged comeback for the first time in about five years, stirring up major buzz across the music scene.

Known for coloring the 2010s with their dark-toned sound that weaves together monochrome aesthetics and R&B-infused emotion, they dropped three advance tracks all at once in October 2025.

The standout among them is this piece, reportedly born from an iPhone Voice Memo.

Whisper-close vocals and a minimal track dominated by sub-bass brilliantly capture the conflicting emotions of wanting to keep a secret relationship while feeling guilty about it.

Their skill in using sonic negative space to portray the delicate shifts of a heart wavering on the boundary between public and private is truly impressive.

Their comeback album, (((((ultraSOUND))))), is slated for release in November 2025.

This is a track we especially recommend to anyone struggling with the distance in their relationships.

All My HatersTom MacDonald

Tom MacDonald – “All My Haters”

Tom MacDonald has established a solid position as an independent rapper.

Without signing to a label, he handles everything from production to promotion with his partner, Nova Rockafeller, embodying a new model for the music industry.

Released in October 2025, this track is a powerful piece themed as a response to his critics.

Riding a trap beat driven by hard 808s and minimal synths, he lays out his stance with a sardonic yet self-controlled flow.

Immediately after release, it hit No.

1 on iTunes, reaffirming the reach of his voice.

For listeners who resonate with an artist unafraid of social conflict and steadfast in his convictions, this song will strike a chord.
