Better Noise Music, home to bands including Five Finger Death Punch, The HU, Dirty Heads, NOTHING MORE, Sabaton, Yellowcard, Bad Wolves, The Funeral Portrait and many more, have released their latest edition of The NOISE, with the final edition of the year wrapping up the best of 2025. This month, the trailer features:
FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH
Multi-platinum hard rock powerhouse FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH (@5fdp) are marking their 20th anniversary with the release of two definitive greatest hits collections: Best Of – Volume 1 and Best Of – Volume 2. Both collections feature newly re-recorded versions of the band’s biggest anthems, created in response to their former label’s sale of the original song masters – made without the band’s knowledge or the opportunity to reclaim their legacy.
Turning that setback into something powerful and positive, the band chose not to simply remix or remaster but to fully re-record fan favourites across two volumes of greatest hits both as a tribute to the songs and to the fans who’ve stood with the band over the last two decades.

SABATON
SABATON (@sabatonofficial) released their much-anticipated 11th studio album LEGENDS. The first single featured was the mighty Templars and the accompanying video.
Throughout the album, SABATON delve into some of history’s greatest and most loved characters such as Jeanne D’arc (also known as Joan of Arc), Hannibal, Genghis Khan, Vlad the Impaler, Julius Caesar, the Knights Templar, and the legendary swordmaster Miyamoto Musashi.
“Templars is the first song we wrote for our forthcoming album, and it truly brings out the theatrical side of SABATON,” says bassist Pär Sundström. “From the moment we started working on it, we were overflowing with ideas on how to bring it to life on stage. We didn’t just want to play it—we wanted to show it!”

YELLOWCARD
Alt rock favourites Yellowcard are celebrating the release of their new album, Better Days, by releasing the lead single and title track Better Days. Better Days is the band’s first full feature length album in almost a decade, and this highly anticipated album is produced as well as executive produced by Travis Barker. Barker also plays drums on every song.
The single Better Days is an unflinching reflection on gratitude, forgiveness, perspective, and purpose. Once ubiquitous on MTV and the Billboard Hot 100, the Vans Warped Tour veterans, whose first two albums produced double-platinum and gold title tracks, sound fully recharged and revitalized in 2025. William Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Ryan Mendez, and Josh Portman have never sounded stronger. The song Better Days is also accompanied by a music video that has the guys depicting iconic 80’s movie characters performing in a vintage video shop. Directed by Jordan Phoenix, the video is a reflection of how much fun the guys are having this time around as a band and with their music. Ryan Key says, “We are focused on this chapter of our career being about happiness.”

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT
Emo rock revivalists THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT released a deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed second album, GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY. From this album, THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT achieved the #1 spot in November 2024 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay and Mediabase’s Active Rock radio charts with their smash single Suffocate City (feat. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills). And then once again enjoying #1 success on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with Holy Water, which features guest vocals by Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch; the song is also firmly planted in the Top Five on Mediabase’s Active Rock charts with Holy Water.
“Holy Water has always been one of the most personal and cathartic songs I’ve ever written,” explains THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT’s Lee Jennings. “It’s about confronting your darkest moments and finding the strength to cleanse yourself of the weight they carry. Seeing the connection it’s made with fans, especially during our live shows, has been beyond powerful—watching the crowd scream the lyrics back at us is proof that music really can heal. Having Ivan Moody join us on this track took it to another level. His energy, passion, and personal story made him the perfect voice to help tell this chapter, and we couldn’t be more honoured to have him be part of it.”

NOTHING MORE
Grammy-nominated rock outfit NOTHING MORE earned their fourth #1, from the CARNAL album, on the Billboard “Mainstream Rock Airplay” and Mediabase “Active Rock” charts with FREEFALL (feat. Chris Daughtry).” The FREEFALL video movingly tells the story about a firefighter who is struggling with his mental health and unexpectedly finds a new life-direction after making a chance connection with a
homeless dog.
“We wrote an anthem for the people who find themselves in an uncertain and chaotic phase of their life,” explains singer Jonny Hawkins about FREEFALL. “Every single one of us have had, or will have, experiences where it feels like the rug is pulled from under us… an end to a relationship, a job loss, or the death of a close family member. These times can be filled with anxiety, or they can be filled with spiritual euphoria as we accept our transformation. We’ve always believed that our losses are invitations to ascend to a higher level of reality…and this song is our way of encapsulating that realization. Chris Daughtry elevated that feeling with his soaring and pristine vocals. We are so honoured to have him on one of the best songs we’ve ever written.”
DELUXE VERSION OF ‘CARNAL’ AVAILABLE HERE
FROM ASHES TO NEW
All eyes are on the explosive alt-metal outfit FROM ASHES TO NEW. They’ve already made their mark as a hugely successful band with a #1-charting album—2023’s BLACKOUT —which landed the #1 spot on several iTunes and Spotify Rock and Metal charts across the globe. Artistically, the Lancaster, PA outfit have made impact with a distinctive amalgam of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative music, combined with songs that bracingly capture their generation’s anxieties.
FROM ASHES TO NEW released the powerful New Disease, an unflinching song about the dangers of trend jumping. New Disease intensifies FROM ASHES TO NEW’s sound and vision and is primed to galvanize their growing fanbase. “Every day there’s a new trend,” says the band’s Matt Brandyberry about the song’s theme. “Every day there’s a new wave of people going out of their way to be recognized, no matter the cost. We are hypnotized by our vices…we will kill ourselves to be noticed.”

FINGER ELEVEN
FINGER ELEVEN (@finger_eleven), one of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time, are experiencing a vibrant, full-circle moment. The multi-platinum Juno Award-winning group criss-crossed America last summer with long-time former labelmates Creed, revisiting the summer of ‘99.
That infectious, invigorating energy helped FINGER ELEVEN release their first new studio album in a decade, LAST NIGHT ON EARTH. They released the album’s second single and video, the thunderous Blue Sky Mystery, featuring Richard Patrick from Filter. Vocalist Scott Anderson notes that the chorus had a heavy Black Sabbath vibe, and the band maintained that throughout the song’s evolution, even as the verses underwent a larger transformation.
LAST NIGHT ON EARTH available HERE.
IN THIS MOMENT
For those who like dark and intense music with a distinctive point of view, IN THIS MOMENT have always supplied the goods, and their new single Heretic (feat. Kim Dracula) is as uncompromising as ever. It combines haunting modern soundscapes, ferocious vocals, and a doomsday metal assault, with unflinching lyrics like “I am not your pain or your remedy/I am not your faith or your vanity/I don’t want your gold or your filth/That you give and you take.”
Heretic (feat. Kim Dracula) marks the first new music to be released from the GRAMMY® Award-nominated Los Angeles band’s upcoming as-yet-untitled ninth album and debut for Better Noise Music.
BAD WOLVES
Platinum-certified, 5x #1 Hard Rock radio-charting BAD WOLVES (@badwolvesofficial) released a special deluxe edition of their album DIE ABOUT IT. The release will contain nine new tracks, including a rebooted Say It Again featuring Lauri Ylönen, frontman of The Rasmus, the 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking Finnish rock outfit.
Bad Wolves drummer and founder, John Boecklin, shared about the track: “This song has always meant a lot to me—I’ve always loved it—but I never expected it to evolve the way it did with The Rasmus. In my opinion, it’s some of the best lyricism on the album, and I’m really glad it’s finally getting the spotlight it deserves. It’s truly some of our best work.”
DIE ABOUT IT DELUXE Available HERE.
THE RASMUS
Finnish rock outfit THE RASMUS (@therasmusofficial) released their highly anticipated 11th studio album, WEIRDO. Known for their musically dark atmospheres, the band subversively merges catchy modern pop stylings with stadium-sized guitar crunch throughout the songs on WEIRDO.
To celebrate the album release, THE RASMUS shared the title track with their legions of fans, especially since they teamed up with The Funeral Portrait singer Lee Jennings for the song and accompanying video.
“Weirdo was the first song we wrote, and it shaped the concept for the entire album,” says Ylönen. “It celebrates being different and individual. Since the first song I ever wrote in 1994 called Myself, I’ve felt like an outcast and someone who doesn’t quite fit in.”

CORY MARKS
SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 is an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 10 new songs, equally divided between arena-rock and roots country. Produced by Kevin Churko (Ozzy Osbourne, Shania Twain), Kile Odell (NOTHING MORE, Nita Strauss) and Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert), MARKS’ SORRY FOR NOTHING/SORRY FOR NOTHING VOLUME 2 era are welcome signs of unity in a world of divisiveness.
“Are You With Me? is a song for my fans, for the people loving my music and loving this country rock sound,” exclaims CORY MARKS. “They’re the reason we do this and want to get out on the road and play live, no matter how hard, long, tough and unfair smoke and mirrors this music industry can be. There’s nothing like playing live and watching the crowd sing along and rock out with you. Are you with me?”
EVA UNDER FIRE
After amassing tens of millions of streams, shaking the charts, touring with bands like From Ashes To New, Asking Alexandria, and Skillet, and performing with 30 Seconds to Mars, all the while earning critical acclaim from Loudwire and New Noise Magazine, EVA UNDER FIRE return with the riveting and demon-conquering Awakening.
Awakening is a blistering and inspirational anthem from Amanda Lyberg (vocals), Rob Lyberg (lead guitar), Chris Slapnik (rhythm guitar), Ed Gawlik (bass), and Dave Miller II (drums). “The guys and I are stoked about the upcoming album,” proclaims Amanda, whose gutsy vocals spectacularly cut through the raging guitars. “These songs are everything we wanted to write. We made sure it was the most honest version of our story. Awakening is an anthem about conquering personal demons. The rest of the album is what it took to get there. It’s also a story packaged in the heaviest riffs we’ve ever played, so I think listeners will be pleasantly surprised. Cheers to the new era!”
