Better Noise Music, home to bands including Five Finger Death Punch, The HU, Dirty Heads, NOTHING MORE, Bad Wolves, Asking Alexandria and many more, have released their latest edition of The NOISE, their monthly trailer highlighting the label’s newest music. This month, the trailer features:
FINGER ELEVEN
As of August 2024, FINGER ELEVEN have officially crossed 1 billion overall career streams, averaging 5 million streams per week and therefore securing their status as one of the best-selling Canadian bands of all time. To celebrate, FINGER ELEVEN have released a brand-new single, Adrenaline. Both hard-hitting and musically adventurous, the anthemic track about the thrill of being alive is the first sample of material from the band’s upcoming 2025 album.
“Sonically, I think ‘Adrenaline’ showcases a different side of the band,” says lead vocalist Scott Anderson. “There’s an exciting pulse in the music, and I wanted the lyrics to keep up with that same energetic level. The song makes me want to go out and try something wild, or at the very least: turn it up real loud.”
THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT
Emo rock outfit THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT are set to release their second full-length album GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY on September 13. The album’s story arc is told across its 14 tracks, which blends religious and violent imagery. It’s a thrilling and evocative mix of the holy and unholy, the sacred and sacrilege. Guest appearances include Bert McCracken of The Used, Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills, Danny Worsnop of Asking Alexandria and Eva Under Fire.
THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT also released a new video for industrial-tinged track, Blood Mother. Vocalist LEE JENNINGS says, “This southern-fried riff machine brings a low, pulsing energy to the record. It harks on modern medication and the fear of risking losing your personality and sense of self once prescribed.”

CORY MARKS
CORY MARKS was thrilled to announce his second full-length album SORRY FOR NOTHING will be released on November 1. The album offers an unapologetic double-barreled blast of 13 songs, equally divided between MARKS’ breakthrough blend of arena-rock and roots country alongside kindred spirits such as Eric Church, Zach Bryan, Hardy, and Brantley Gilbert.
MARKS released the album’s no-apologies track (Make My) Country Rock. It notably includes features from Sully Erna of multi-platinum hard rock group GODSMACK, legendary guitarist Mick Mars (Mötley Crüe), and multi-platinum selling and award-winning country artist Travis Tritt. (Make My) Country Rock–produced by Andrew Baylis (Jelly Roll, Brantley Gilbert)—rallies together fans of both country and rock alike with the opening line—“I’ve been known to piss some people off / From the Sunset Strip to small town honky tonks / I’ve been behind both kinds of bars”—while its chorus proudly proclaims: “Ain’t ever gonna stop/ I’m gonna make my country rock.”
FROM ASHES TO NEW
Alt-metal outfit FROM ASHES TO NEW rolled out a lyric video for the thunderous Monster In Me featuring rapper Yelawolf, one of the six bonus tracks featured on the deluxe version of their #1-charting 2023 album, BLACKOUT.
BLACKOUT (DELUXE) was released in June and includes additional guest features from Aaron Pauley of Of Mice & Men, Matty Mullins of Memphis Mayfire and Chrissy Costanza from Against The Current, who is featured on FROM ASHES TO NEW’s #2 charting Active Rock radio single Barely Breathing.
FINISH TICKET
FINISH TICKET shared a third listen to new music from their upcoming sophomore album ECHO AFTERNOON–due September 6—with the dreamy and melodic track Peace of Mind. The song was written about the never-ending quest to find ‘peace of mind’ as its lyrics relay: ‘Another life, another day; You’ll find peace of mind.’
FINISH TICKET shared a video visualizer for the track. “‘Peace Of Mind’ is a song about all aspects of life feeling overwhelming at once,” says vocalist Brendan Hoye. “The feeling of being split between optimism and pessimism. Maybe one day after all is done, you’ll have peace of mind vs. the thought that maybe life is just always this way.”
