Front woman Chrystal James put Anoxia together in 2004, and her haunting siren’s song has been drawing listeners in ever since.

Recently, they appeared at Zen West in Towson, Maryland, opening for Stitched Up Heart and Infected Rain. Anoxia will also be paying tribute to Evanescence at My Phase Days in August, a night celebrating breakout bands of the early 2000s.

Amerakin Overdose Shares New Single “My Endless Battle” [Video]

April 30, 2026 — Leave a comment

Amerakin Overdose is no stranger to bending the rules and defying expectations, and with their latest single, they have done just that! “My Endless Battle” is a song that delves into the darkness that many people suffocate under every day, shining a light on that reality, both educating and offering hope to the hopeless.

In the vein of being raw and open, the band shed their masks and filmed an appropriately solemn performance clip to accompany the release. The acoustic-led track was produced by and boasts a feature from Spineshank frontman Jonny Santos.

You can stream the song on your preferred service and watch the video below.

Cover vs. Cover: “Deutschland”

April 29, 2026 — Leave a comment

In August 2023, A Tribute to Rammstein was released. The album features covers of some of the German metal titans’ well-known songs, such as “Du Hast,” “Sonne,” and “Engel,” by bands like The 69 Eyes, Skold, and Priest.

Rammstein’s ode to their country, “Deutschland,” is also there, provided to the record by Front Line Assembly.

But did you know there is another rendition of the epic track?

Dutch-Italian singer, guitarist, songwriter, and video director Giovanni Bucci, aka ODDKO, unleashed his version earlier this year. I just stumbled across it and I must say… I think I prefer it. No shade thrown at Front Line Assembly, but there’s something about it.

Check out both of these covers and decide for yourself. FLA and ODDKO stayed true to the original.
