A.F. DaySerj Tankian
Serj Tankian, the charismatic frontman of System of a Down, is known as a one-of-a-kind, exceptional singer with protean vocal prowess and expressive power.
While the band’s future remains unclear, Serj announced the release of his solo EP “Foundations” for around fall 2024, and the advance single is this track, “A.F.
Day.” Longtime fans were no doubt thrilled by the vocal performance reminiscent of Serj in the System of a Down era, as well as the aggressive, delightfully deranged sound.
And with good reason: it turns out the song was actually an unreleased track dating back to the System of a Down days.
Of course, Serj is also known for writing complex lyrics that relentlessly condemn social absurdities—political corruption, the abuse of power, and more—so the lyrical content is definitely something to watch.
Wake The Deadblessthefall
Bless The Fall had been on hiatus for about five years since 2018.
Announcing their comeback is “Wake The Dead.” The song depicts a person who dares to dive into danger and celebrates that courage.
While it’s not stated outright, this likely represents Bless The Fall’s return to the rock scene.
Also noteworthy are their signature shouts and booming low end.
Lose yourself in a sound that’s more powerful than ever.
Psychopath (feat. Joe Bad)Body Count
Body Count, known as pioneers of rap metal, have dropped a new track featuring Joe Badolato of Fit For An Autopsy.
Ice-T’s growling rap and Joe’s deathcore-style vocals ride crushing breakdowns and guitar riffs, while lyrics told from a psychopath’s perspective leave a strong impression.
Released in May 2024, the song serves as the lead single for their upcoming album “Merciless,” stoking fans’ anticipation.
With its aggressive sound and high-energy structure, it’s perfect for a reset or boosting workout motivation.
A must-listen not only for metal fans but also for anyone looking for something fresh and exhilarating.
24K MagicBruno Mars
Bruno Mars is a singer-songwriter whose refined musicality has earned him extremely high acclaim around the world.
Over his career, he has shifted styles several times—early on focusing on pop, then moving into rock and roll in the middle period, and currently blending disco music with R&B.
His album “24K Magic” cemented his pivot to a disco-inspired sound, delivering an exhilarating, irresistibly groovy take on disco music.
Fear Of The DawnJack White
Jack White, known as the standard-bearer of the 2000s garage rock revival and the vocalist/guitarist of The White Stripes.
After The White Stripes disbanded in 2011, he continued his solo career while also playing in bands like The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather.
“Fear Of The Dawn” is the title track from his fourth album, released in 2022.
With an explosive sound that shows the influence of hard rock and his near-shouted vocals, it’s guaranteed to send your energy through the roof after just one listen!
Straight Up (Needy)Meet Me @ The Altar
Meet Me @ the Altar built their career through internet-driven activity and have become a popular presence in today’s pop-punk scene, garnering attention as symbols of diversity as well.
Their new song is a rock number that layers heavier guitar riffs and emotive vocals onto their signature pop-punk sound.
The lyrics reveal a candid feeling beneath a tough exterior: “Honestly, I want to lean on someone.
I want to be cared for.” That heartfelt confession of human vulnerability is sure to move listeners.
Following the turning point of a founding member’s departure in April 2025, this track arrives as the lead single from their EP Worried Sick, slated for release in December.
As a herald of a new chapter, it just might give you the courage to move forward, even while holding complex emotions.
