Better Noise Music, home to bands including Five Finger Death Punch, The HU, Dirty Heads, NOTHING MORE, Bad Wolves, The Funeral Portrait and many more, have released their latest edition of The NOISE, a monthly trailer highlighting the label’s newest music. This month, the trailer features:
NOTHING MORE
Boundary-pushing Grammy-nominated rock outfit NOTHING MORE released their deluxe edition of their acclaimed 2024 album CARNAL on digital platforms, followed by a physical release on CD and vinyl on May 16. CARNAL saw the band achieve two #1 Active Rock radio singles — ANGEL SONG (feat. David Draiman) and IF IT DOESN’T HURT—and has to date amassed 100 million streams. The album received praise for being “one of the band’s most eclectic releases to date” (Blabbermouth) and having 15 “energized rock anthems that capture the band’s infectious live prowess” (Knotfest).
CARNAL (DELUXE) will include five bonus tracks: a new version of FREEFALL featuring 6x Platinum-certified rock artist Chris Daughtry; a live version of the #1 single ANGEL SONG recorded from the band’s set at Aftershock Festival 2024 where NOTHING MORE was joined onstage by guest vocalist David Draiman of Disturbed; two remixed tracks from Matt Good (Hollywood Undead, Asking Alexandria) and Justin “JD” Deblieck (Ice Nine Kills, Motionless In White); and a new song, WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE.

THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT
Emo rock revivalists THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT will release a deluxe edition of their critically acclaimed second album, GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY, on June 13. Ahead of the album’s release, they’ve unveiled an instant grat track with pre-orders of a new version of Holy Water. It now features guest vocals by Ivan Moody of Five Finger Death Punch, with whom THE FUNERAL PORTRAIT toured in 2024. Moody’s powerful and distinctively rugged vocals bring an exciting new element to the track.
“‘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.”
Pre-orders for the digital, CD and vinyl copies of the deluxe edition of GREETINGS FROM SUFFOCATE CITY are available here: https://thefuneralportrait.ffm.to/gfscdeluxe
THE RASMUS
Finnish 6x Platinum and 8x Gold-certified, record-breaking rock outfit The Rasmus are back with their electrifying new single, Creatures of Chaos. With their signature blend of dark atmospheres and anthemic melodies, the band once again proves why they remain a force to be reckoned with in the rock world.
At its core, Creatures of Chaos is an anthem for outsiders, a rallying cry for anyone who has ever felt like they don’t belong. “‘Creatures of Chaos’ is a global invitation to all misfits and anyone out there who’s ever felt like an outsider to join us!” exclaims frontman Lauri Ylönen. “The world is such a messed-up place right now. I felt like going harder musically to match my feelings of being lost, scared and uncomfortable. People are so divided with their opinions that I find myself looking for hope and unity out of people like myself. It’s important to belong somewhere and take a stand with your opinions. ‘Creatures of Chaos’ is a shout-out to all people like us to come together.”
The song was written by Lauri together with Desmond Child and Marti Fredriksen.
