In 2026, Iron Kingdom enters a defining moment with the
release of their sixth studio album, ‘Shadows and Dust’,
arriving June 6, 2026, a date that symbolically aligns with both
their 15th anniversary and the 82nd anniversary of DDay. As
the band notes, “The release of our 6th studio album…
coincides with our 15th anniversary… You could say the
planets aligned.”
‘Shadows and Dust’ marks several firsts and milestones:

It is the first album recorded entirely in the band’s own home
studio, a major step in their longstanding DIY ethos.

It showcases a darker, more emotionally charged lyrical
landscape, exploring themes of death, impermanence,
hardship, and resilience.
Musically, it blends the band’s classic Heavy Metal roots with
new textures, progressive touches, and a renewed sense of
storytelling.
Its release show will see Iron Kingdom headlining Vancouver’s
Rickshaw Theatre, a venue where they once opened for their
heroes, now a symbol of how far they’ve climbed.

The album’s creation reflects the band’s collaborative maturity.
Songs were developed through jambased writing sessions,
where riffs, lyrics, and concepts evolved organically. As
Leighton describes, lyric inspiration often comes from “books,
and sometimes movies… as long as it’s thoughtprovoking,”
while Chris emphasizes the band’s commitment to crafting
albums that take listeners on a journey.

Polish heavy/thrashers W RAMIONACH
WIEDŹMY stream their debut album “Wywar”
(“Warmth”) in its entirety

ENG:
“In The Arms Of The Witch” is a Rzeszów-based band playing Heavy/Thrash Metal.
The band began in 2021. “Wiking” became the vocalist and guitarist, while “Wielebny” (the band’s
founders) abandoned bass guitar for drums. After a few weeks, “Nerwus” (bass) and “Gomez”
(guitar) joined the lineup.
Since 2021, they have formed a strong, well-coordinated quartet that is constantly evolving their
sound. The name was supposed to be simple and easy to remember… but it didn’t work out.
W Ramionach Wiedźmy (In the Arms of the Witch). Their music is a fusion of powerful energy,
charismatic vocals, dynamic riffs, and melodic solos. WRW’s lyrics are stories drawn from life,
shrouded in mystery and magic, transporting listeners to a world of emotion and darkness.
WRW’s work is inspired by the legends of Polish and international metal, such as Kat, Turbo, TSA,
Metallica, Children of Bodom, Death, Manowar, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Amon Amarth, Hammerfall,
Kreator, and many others. This blend creates a unique “Warmth” of metal expression.

PL:
Rzeszowski zespół grający muzykę z pogranicza Heavy & Thrash Metalu.
Początki zespołu to rok 2021. Wokalistą i gitarzystą zostaje „Wiking” a „Wielebny” (założyciele
zespołu) porzuca gitarę basową na rzecz perkusji. Po kilku tygodniach do składu dołączają “Nerwus” –
bas i “Gomez” – gitara.
Od 2021r. tworzą mocny, zgrany kwartet, który nieustannie rozwija swoje brzmienie. Nazwa miała
być prosta i łatwa do zapamiętania … nie udało się.
W Ramionach Wiedźmy. Ich muzyka to fuzja potężnej energii, charyzmatycznego wokalu,
dynamicznych riffów i melodyjnych solówek. Teksty WRW to historie czerpiące z życia, owiane
tajemnicą i magią, które przenoszą słuchaczy w świat emocji i mroku.
Twórczość WRW to efekt inspiracji największymi legendami polskiego i światowego metalu, takimi
jak Kat, Turbo, TSA, Metallica, Children of Bodom, Death, Manowar, Helloween, Iron Maiden, Amon

Amarth, Hammerfall, Kreator i wielu innych. Z tej mieszanki powstaje, unikalny „Wywar” metalowej
ekspresji.

LA hardrocker CRYMWAV cover Agent
Orange’ „Everything Turns Grey”,
heralding debut album

Crymwav, pronounced “Crimewave,” formed in 2022 in Los Angeles after Smash
Fashion disbanded.
Members Roger Deering, Lloyd Stuart Casson, Greg Rogers, and Bruce Braddock combine
punk, post-punk, gothic rock, and NWOBHM influences, drawing inspiration from bands like
Hawkwind, The Clash, Killing Joke, Thin Lizzy, and UFO.
Deering began shaping Crymwav’s style during a London stay, focusing on darker material,
and the band’s debut EP “24/7” was released in November 2023, highlighting their dark
aesthetic.
The self-released EP “24/7” received positive critical acclaim and achieved international
airplay. Guitar World Magazine characterized it as “Channeling the furious fire of Motörhead
and UFO, cut through with the melodic sensibilities of Cheap Trick. Every track sound like an
instant stadium-filling anthem.” Building on this momentum, Crymwav released the single
“Contagious” in November 2024, previewing their upcoming full-length album. The song,
notable for its danceable qualities and memorable hooks, reached the top ten playlists

worldwide.

In February 2025, Crymwav released “Sense of Adventure” accompanied by a video directed
by Joe Cardamone (The Icarus Line). The track features powerful gothic influences and
resonated strongly with audiences, earning extensive airplay and accumulating over 95,000
views within four months. March 2025 saw Crymwav headline at the renowned Cart and
Horses in the UK, followed by Pat Muzingo (Junkyard-Decry) joining as drummer in May
2025.
In October 2025, Crymwav released their third consecutive single, “Speak No Evil,” a potent
commentary on big tech and modern-day disillusionment, featuring Roman Jugg (ex-The
Damned) on keyboards for added gothic depth. The release continues to garner international
playlist additions, complemented by a music video directed by Joe Cardamone, marking the
band’s most ambitious visual project to date.

In March 2026, Crymwav returned to the UK for several performances, including a
headlining appearance at Hope and Anchor London. A cover of Agent Orange’s “Everything
Turns Gray” is scheduled for release on May 29, 2026.
