Here's everything you need to know from April 10th 2026. Graphic Nature Sign to Century Media & Share 'Faceless' London nu-metalcore quartet Graphic Nature have marked the beginning of a new chapter with the release of new single 'Faceless' - their first release for new label home Century Media. The track digs into identity, pressure, and the urge to strip everything back. Raw, cathartic, and direct, it's a statement of intent from a band that has spent the last few years steadily building one of the most uncompromising profiles in the UK heavy scene. Their debut 'A Mind Waiting To Die' arrived in 2023, followed by 'Who Are You When No One Is Watching?' a year later, and 'Faceless' feels like a deliberate reset - sharper in focus and heavier in purpose. "Faceless is the beginning of the new era of Graphic Nature," states frontman Harvey Freeman. "We spent a lot of time working on what we wanted to get out of the new sound, our collective influences helped pave the way for what we've created. We are pleased to announce this single will be released via our new record label Century Media." The single lands just ahead of a headline show at The Dome in London on April 30th, with summer dates alongside Northlane and an appearance at Bloodstock later in the year. https://youtu.be/Zg9VrR2_d1c April 30th The Dome, London August 3rd Academy, Dublin (w/ Northlane) 4th Limelight 2, Belfast (w/ Northlane) 6th-9th Bloodstock Festival, Walton-on-Trent sace6 Share 'allured' & Confirm UK Venue Upgrades Northeast US duo sace6 have shared the third preview of their forthcoming debut album 'brutalist'. The track is called 'allured', and sees the pairing of sace. and Noah Thomas lean into their atmospheric side. Its verses contain glistening guitars and smooth vocals, which give way to spiky distortion in its chorus. Lyrically, 'allured' turns inward, exploring the facade of confidence that people construct to conceal deep-rooted insecurity, and the moment it starts to betray what's underneath. "Our third single off of brutalist - 'allured'. The devastating atmosphere shows the wall of confidence and certainty used to mask one's insecurities," the duo explain. "'allured' recognises the true personality of someone who seeks validation from others by making themselves and everyone around them believe their worth and intentions the way they wish they truly were." 'Brutalist' arrives on 8th May via Sumerian Records. Alongside the single, sace6 have confirmed two venue upgrades for their UK headline dates in November: November 22nd Cathouse, Glasgow 23rd Gorilla, Manchester (Venue Upgrade) 24th The Garage, London (Venue Upgrade) https://youtu.be/_p8FbpsD6po Melrose Avenue Show Darker Side on 'Bad Guy' Sydney melodic metalcore outfit Melrose Avenue continue to build momentum and has shared their new single. Titled 'Bad Guy,' it sees Aussie group push their sound into a darker, more intense territory as vocalist Vlado Saric faces up to a mental shadow that's been following him around. Billed as their heaviest release to date, Saric states 'Bad Guy' "comes from that raw place of betrayal - when someone you trust turns on you and paints you as the villain just to lift themselves up. This song is me owning that narrative and calling it out for what it really is." 'Bad Guy' is the latest in a run of singles that includes 'Taste' and 'Inside Your Mind'. Melrose Avenue will be back in the UK in June. June 13th Download Festival, Donington 14th Chalk, Brighton https://youtu.be/48DpSUTOtlI The Narrator Preview 'Phosphor' with 'Agnosia' With a month until they release their second album, 'Phosphor', German metalcore outfit The Narrator have shared another track from it. The latest offering is 'Agnosia', the sixth track on the record. Opening with haunting clean vocals before building into a breakdown-driven anthem with a chorus that lodges itself firmly in your head, the track tackles emotional numbness and the longing to be understood - terrain that 'Phosphor' as a whole seems intent on exploring in full. The follow-up to their debut 'Lore', which has amassed over 12 million streams, arrives as the band also kick off a short UK run tonight at Rock City, Nottingham. April 10th Rock City, Nottingham 12th Modern Era Festival, London 13th The Croft, Bristol 'Phosphor' is released on May 8th via Nuclear Blast Records https://youtu.be/fqVEduBfMRo On Borrowed Time Return with 'Burden' Dorset melodic hardcore five-piece On Borrowed Time are back with a new single, 'Burden', out now on Omen Records. The pummeling number sees the quintet firmly plant their feet in melodic hardcore, with 'Burden' signalling their most direct statement of intent so far. From the opening line of "I feel the weight of the world, resting heavy on my shoulders, pushing me down," On Borrowed Time shows urgency with a visceral execution, only to be elevated by their raw, heartfelt intensity. https://youtu.be/q_jnZWbGUNM Today's New Songs Here's a rundown of the latest additions to our 'Newish Music' playlist.
