Today’s single slam features Exodus, Silo, Endeavour, Our Nameless Boy, Growth, The Last Vinci, Re:O, and Roman Candle. You can read our thoughts about the latest singles from these bands below.

Exodus – 3111

Bay Area Thrash legends Exodus unleash Goliath, marking the triumphant return of Rob Dukes.

They have announced their 12th studio album the follow up to their highest charting record ever and Napalm Records debut, Goliath, out 20th March 2026. Now, the band have revealed the massive opening track ‘3111’.

The iconic thrash band is back and back in mighty fashion. This brand-new track is a beast, beginning in painstakingly slow and heavy fashion before exploding in familiar frantic and furious thrashing noise. Exodus sound focused, hungry and angry, and this track is guaranteed to please all the head bangers of the world, old and new.

Silo – Crawl in A Bottle

Silo have announced their forthcoming debut album ‘Haze’, set for release on Friday, May 1st via new label home Easy Life Records (Softcult, Normandie, Lonely The Brave). Coinciding with the announcement, Silo have shared their introspective new single ‘Crawl in A Bottle’.

Talking of the new single, Silo share:

Crawl in A Bottle is written from the perspective of someone experiencing therapy for the first time. It is an internal monologue shaped by self-awareness, discomfort, and the slow process of confronting personal truths. The sound balances warmth and tension with big choruses allowing space for reflection while still carrying weight and meaning.

Filled with expressive vibrant post hardcore style, melodic substance, and grungy sounds, what we have here is a captivating genre-bending effort. One that oozes passion, but uses melody in such a clever way, that the intensity doesn’t just come from the heavier flareups. It’s very cool.

Endeavour – …These Shallows

‘…These Shallows’ marks the return of UK progressive metal outfit Endeavour, delivering their first new material since 2017’s Bring Upon the Rising Day EP.

Welcome back Endeavour, we’re glad to have you here, especially when you’re bringing detailed, attention-grabbing, and potent progressive metal bangers like this to the party. It’s one hell of a journey that the band take us on across eight minutes, delivering an array of heavy, fast, complex, melodic, and exciting sounds both instrumentally and vocally. The cherry on top? It’s got some unexpected catchy elements. Check it out here.

Our Nameless Boy – ’38

Bristol-based alt-rock band Our Nameless Boy have released the brand new track ‘’38’, reminiscent of the late ‘90s/’00s US alternative-emo scene, alongside a music video. The track is the first to be released from their upcoming EP ´Thorns’, out 10th April via Bandcamp and on all other platforms from 17th April.

Says Iain Gorrie (guitar, lead vocals) of the new track:

I wrote ’’38’ almost 2 years ago, during the first of what is now many times that I felt like the end of the world was imminent. As well as referencing what many these days might list as contributing factors to the downfall of humanity (greed, ignorance, and the press all get a mention – “… as sirens air until they fade behind the lines with, ‘This is not as ‘’38’…”), the song is trying to put across that, no matter what your perspective is on major, far-reaching events in the world, ultimately when they land on your door, they will take you by surprise. Our usual dynamic shifts serve pretty well to hit this point home, and the intro tries to take this one step further with a rhythmic misdirect that tries to catch you off guard. Like the end of the world probably would when it actually comes.

A track with a thick vein of sadness running through it, albeit coming forth in varied style. This new track from Our Nameless Boy effortlessly combines glum melody and serene vocals with potent rock flareups that hit hard. It’s a really impressive track with expertly layered elements and interesting ebbs and flows. Check it out here.

Growth – Remember Me as Fire

‘Remember Me as Fire’ is the new single from the Australian progressive death metal unit, Growth. The first taste of new music from the outfit since the release of their critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Smothering Arms of Mercy’ in 2020.

Two words – multifaceted brutality. That’s about all I need to say about this new Growth track. It’s furiously fast and heavy, with layers of complex instrumentals, tone shifts, garish vocal styles, and more. You can head bang to it, but you might give yourself whiplash. Check it out here.

The Last Vinci – Living Certified Disaster

‘Living Certified Disaster’ is the stunning lead single by The Last Vinci, out 23rd January. Taken from their forthcoming album ’15 Minutes at a Time’, out 17th April via Narrow Door Records.

Says Alex (guitar and vocals):

It’s an honest snapshot of spiralling thoughts, sleepless nights, and the stubborn need to keep going despite wanting to let it all go.

A track that gets the heart racing, the hips swaying, the fist pumping, and the head banging, especially as their heavy alternative ways comes with punk-infused rawness and hardcore energy. A quality mix delivered with confidence, proving to be utterly addictive in the end.

Re:O – Reverie

Re:O, the dark goth/pop crossed with rock and metal group, are back with their latest single ‘Reverie’.

Explains the band:

Re:O’s 10th single ‘Reverie’ signals the dawn of a new era for Re:O. Reverie portrays the story of missing someone you shared every moment after they are gone. Those who once spent time with us eventually disappear from your sight as time goes by, like snow falling on your hand, without a trace. The fragile snow, even when it piles up, will eventually melt away. In the same way, human connections are breakable and bound to fade. Nonetheless, the memories of those we hold close remain eternal. Walking down this snowy path, glancing at the snow-covered buildings, such ordinary days bring back nostalgic memories of the times spent with you, and this song carries one wish: “May you always stay well.”

Reverie is not about loss, it’s about reminiscing about those we encountered in our life, the special moments shared and the hope that not only could a friendship or relationship reignite but also the hope that those that we shared these memories with are safe, well and thriving.

I do like this band, especially as they stand out from the crowd (especially in the UK rock and metal scene) and their growth as artists can be tracked with each release. Here, the band have reached another anthemic high (the chorus is great), showing off a combo of starry melody, potent alternative metal instrumentals, and soaring vocals. I dig it. Check it out here.

Roman Candle – Can We Watch Something Happy?

Roman Candle share ‘Can We Watch Something Happy?’, arriving with an accompanying music video. Written from the perspective of Piper Ferrari’s childhood self, the track documents the cycle of uncontrolled intrusive thoughts, compulsive prayer, and the overwhelming guilt of believing her own mind was a sin. The song arrives as the band’s fourth single following their 2025 Sumerian Records signing.

Speaking on the theme of the new single, Piper shares:

‘Can We Watch Something Happy’ is written from the perspective of my childhood self. I struggled with severe OCD growing up, which was intensified by being raised in a religious household. I wasn’t diagnosed until much later, so for most of my youth I didn’t understand what was happening — I just remember being scared all the time. There was a constant cycle of praying for the intrusive thoughts to go away, eventually giving in to them, and then praying again for forgiveness. That’s where the repeated ‘one more time’ comes from. It wasn’t about depression or suicidality; it was about trying to survive this overwhelming fear of thoughts I didn’t want, and then feeling deep guilt because I believed even having those thoughts was a sin.

Another absolute banger from this band, one that finds them focused on being fast, heavy, and intense. The vocal/drum combo is really special, but in classic Roman Candle style, it’s got a certain amount of catchiness too, even though it bristles and roars. I do love it when they just let loose like this.
