Following the explosive debut of their first single, Lex Legion returns with "Gypsy Tears," a haunting and powerful new track that further reveals the depth and identity of this veteran supergroup.

The single releases today, and its music video can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/L0CuHWB_0Zw

Featuring members of the classic King Diamond lineup—Mikkey Dee, Andy La Rocque, Pete Blakk, and Hal Patino—alongside vocalist Nils K. Rue (Pagan's Mind), Lex Legion continues to channel decades of heavy metal mastery into something both timeless and fresh.

Where their debut single "Sleep Eternally" hit with immediate force, "Gypsy Tears" showcases a more atmospheric and dynamic side of the band.

Built on eerie melodies, driving rhythms, and soaring vocal lines, the track balances mysticism with raw power—shifting between evocative passages and undeniable, headbanging momentum.

Driven by Mikkey Dee's unmistakable groove, layered with intricate twin-guitar work from La Rocque and Blakk, and anchored by Hal Patino's melodic basslines, the song creates a cinematic soundscape that feels both classic and forward-looking. At the center, Rue delivers a commanding vocal performance filled with drama and intensity.

It’s now time to release our second single; “Gypsy Tears”. Another great song with a lot of fire and bite, this one is a real driving banger! The video, it’s more of a short  movie, does a great job of telling the story in the lyrics. Release is on the 5th of May. Check it out! - Mikkey Dee

At its core, the song is a dark portrait of obsession, told through the eyes of a watcher who cannot let go. The video reimagines this as a timeless story of love and longing that stretches beyond reality itself. Through layered metaphors, the lyrics transform personal conflict into vast, symbolic landscapes—where emotional collapse feels like war-torn ground. - Nils K. Rue

Gypsy Tears is the essence of me, Mikkey, Andy and Hal. With me and Andy trading off solos and the power of Mikkey and Hal’s rhythm section all supporting the powerful vocals of Nils, the song really brings a new dimension to metal in 2026. The video is tasteful, mystical and raw. It’s a piece of art that will leave no one untouched. - Pete Blakk

"Gypsy Tears" is the second single from Lex Legion's upcoming self-titled debut album, set for release on June 12, 2026 via MNRK Music Group.

The album captures the spirit of classic heavy metal while embracing the experience and chemistry that only decades of musicianship can bring.

With "Gypsy Tears," Lex Legion continues to build momentum toward one of the most anticipated hard rock/metal debuts of the year.

"Gypsy Tears" is available now on all major streaming platforms, and can be ordered via this link:

KAL-EL don’t just push the fuzz on Astral Voyager Vol. 2—they ignite it, and it spreads like a slow cosmic weather front across an endless black sky. The sound doesn’t sit in front of you. It surrounds you. It seeps into everything, warm and glowing, like distant starlight bending through thick space dust, carrying echoes of an unexplored universe that never really faded—it just kept drifting outward.

“Juno” doesn’t start so much as it emerges, like a machine waking up inside a dark planet. The groove rolls forward like something massive turning in deep space, slow and inevitable. Each note feels dense, almost physical, like it has weight in your chest. Above it, Ståle Rodvelt’s voice cuts through the haze—clear, floating, almost detached from gravity itself, like a signal sent from a ship lost between systems. Nothing rushes. Everything pulls you in.

“The Nine” stretches time until it becomes unstable. Ten minutes feels less like duration and more like drift—like being carried through layers of atmosphere that don’t belong to any known world. The guitars don’t just play; they smear across the void in glowing arcs. The rhythm section doesn’t follow time—it bends it, like orbit adjusting itself around invisible mass. Somewhere in that movement, you lose the sense of where you are supposed to be.

“The Prophecy” arrives like a slow change in gravity. Everything feels slightly tilted, slightly unreal. The groove sways like a vast metal structure swaying in unseen wind, patient but alive. Then the breakdown hits—not as a moment, but as a collapse of light. It’s as if something enormous shifts just beyond the edge of perception, sending waves through everything you thought was stable.

“Juggernaut” doesn’t walk in—it presses down. The low end feels like continents of sound grinding against each other, slow and unstoppable. The bass doesn’t support the track; it becomes the ground, the air, the pressure in your ears. And yet, through all that weight, melodies rise like structures breaking through storm clouds—huge, radiant, almost painfully beautiful in contrast to the mass below.

“Pan” brings motion back into the void, like debris caught in a solar wind. It moves fast enough to feel alive, but never escapes the gravitational pull of the record. Everything is still being dragged through that same vast field of tone, just at a slightly sharper angle now, like something trying to remember momentum.

And then “Asteroid” loosens everything completely. The structure dissolves. What’s left is space—huge, unmeasured, breathing space. The riffs don’t develop anymore; they echo, like fragments of transmissions bouncing between dead stars. The melodies hover just above perception, weightless and distant, as if they’ve already left the system and are only now arriving as memory.

Astral Voyager Vol. 2 doesn’t behave like a collection of songs. It behaves like a single expanding field—one continuous movement through density, light, and distortion. No edges. No interruptions. Just flow, pulling everything along with it.

Released on Majestic Mountain, it carries the feeling of something both ancient and newly formed, like a fossil of future music being uncovered in real time. Even the knowledge that Tony Iommi once acknowledged them feels less like a reference and more like a signal echoing across generations of heavy sound.

This isn’t an album you listen to. It’s a space you enter. A slow drift through molten tone, where everything solid eventually turns fluid, and even silence feels like it’s moving. So let go of direction, and let it carry you wherever it has already decided you’re going.

Houston, Texas melodic sludge and doom metal merchants STONE NOMADS present their new single "Prophecy", and announce a string of US shows including appearances at Maryland Doom Fest, Gravitoyd Doomfest and Ripple Music showcase this summer.

🔥 Stream new Stone Nomads single "Prophecy" at this location 🔥

Since their ignition in Houston in 2021, Stone Nomads has channeled the journey of life and death into a signature sound built on sludged-out, powerful riff-based sonics and shapeshifting heaviness. Their third full-length and Ripple Music debut Empires of Stone channels themes of fear, societal struggle and mortality into a boiling and earth-rumbling formula that showcases the trio's devastatingly crushing firepower, while also revealing a deeper, progressive side — brooding and expansive. Described as "pure metal magic" by Doomed & Stoned and "an album of outstanding proportions" by Distorted Sound Magazine, it will appeal highly to fans of heavier-than-thou acts à la High On Fire, Crowbar and Obituary. Empires of Stone is available now on LP, CD and digital at this location.

Their upcoming US tour will span ten dates across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic, including appearances at Gravitoyd Doomfest IV and Maryland Doomfest, along with a special Ripple Music 15th Anniversary Showcase celebration on June 27th:

May 2nd - Houston, TX - 4th Annual Gravitoyd Doomfest

June 19th - Winston Salem, NC - The Den

June 20th - Richmond, VA - Bandito’s Burritos

June 21st - Frederick, MD - Maryland Doomfest presents Knights of Doom

June 22nd - Cleveland, OH - Smedley’s

June 24th - Detroit, MI - Outer Limits Lounges

June 25th - Louisville, KY - Mag Bar

June 26th - Indianapolis, IN - State Street w/ Wolftooth

June 27th - Chicago, IL - Ripple Music 15th Anniversary Showcase - Reggies

August 8th - Houston, TX - White Oak Music Hall

From the heavy heart of Houston, TX, Stone Nomads charts a monolithic path through the darker realms of doom and sludge. The power trio—conceived in 2021 by Jon Cosky (Guitar/Vocals) and Jude Sisk (Bass/Vocals)—explores the weighty concepts of life and death through a lens of pummeling riffs and progressive sludge sensibility.

Their sound is a tectonic blend, drawing equally from the classic doom of Sabbath or Trouble and the savage, sludge-laden attack of High On Fire, Crowbar and Obituary. This evolving vision has been captured on two Doom Charts-approved monoliths Fields of Doom (2022) and …At the Gates of Solitude (2023), building towards the imminent release of their crushingly heavy third album, Empires of Stone on international heavy powerhouse Ripple Music.

Known for a live show that is both energetic and utterly immersive, Stone Nomads have carved their name across the Texas scene and southern US on stages shared with the likes of Crowbar, Soulfly, The Obsessed, Eyehategod, Elder, Khemmis, as well as on three multi-region headline and co-headline tours, establishing themselves as a formidable and essential live force within the heavy underground scene.
