Band Of The Week

 
Danish metal act Avarice return with their second full-length album “Perpetual Ruin”, released via Mighty Music. The album will be released on LP, CD and digital formats on 19.06.2026. The album delivers ten crushing tracks exploring humanity’s endless cycle of rise, failure, and collapse.

Blending classic death and thrash metal with elements of hardcore and melodic death metal, Avarice present a sound that is both brutal and dynamic. Razor-sharp riffs, crushing rhythms, and relentless intensity drive the record forward, while the lyrics draw on themes of antiquity, morality, punishment, and the darker impulses of human nature.

“Perpetual Ruin” follows the band’s self-titled album “Avarice” (2023), which marked a defining step forward and received strong acclaim from both fans and critics, firmly re-establishing the band within the Danish metal scene. The record was produced, mixed and mastered by Chris Kreutzfeldt, known for his work with Cabal, Møl and Ghost Iris, among others.

Originally formed in 2006, Avarice built a reputation through energetic live shows and festival appearances alongside international metal acts and leading Danish bands. After a 13-year hiatus, they returned in 2021 with the EP “Reborn In Blood”, reigniting the band with renewed focus and a heavier direction.

With “Perpetual Ruin”, Avarice push their sound further than ever. A record that fully comes to life on stage, where the band’s raw, aggressive energy proves impossible to ignore.

HighWay delivers authentic, generous, and passionate Hard Rock — a borderless, unifying sound built for the stage.

With 6 albums and over 500 shows across Europe, the band has truly sold its soul to the demons of Rock for one mission: to make you headbang, stomp your feet, and reconnect with the true essence of Rock’n’Roll — alive, organic, and visceral.

Hailing from Sète (near Montpellier, France), HighWay draws inspiration from legendary acts such as AC/DC, Whitesnake, KISS, Guns N’ Roses, and Aerosmith, while crafting a strong and distinctive identity of their own: a subtle blend of the best of the ’80s and ’90s, infused with modern energy, sincerity, and raw emotion.

After sharing European stages with international acts like Michael Schenker Group, Gotthard, Jeff Scott Soto, Kissin’ Dynamite, Nashville Pussy, Electric Mary, and Enuff Z’Nuff, HighWay has established itself as a key player in the new wave of European Classic Hard Rock.

With "Last Call For Rock’N’Roll", HighWay unveils its 6th studio album, crafted with passion under the direction of producer Brett Caldas-Lima (Ayreon, Devin Townsend, Megadeth, Adagio, Hypno5e…).

The album will be released on April 24th 2026 and it features 12 powerful, melodic, and catchy tracks, blending intensity, depth, and anthemic choruses — a true explosion of classy Hard Rock that only HighWay can deliver.
