BANKS Announces “Off With Her Head” North American Tour

World-renowned singer-songwriter BANKS has released her fifth studio album, Off With Her Head, via ADA Worldwide, the independent label and artist services arm of Warner Music Group.

Off With Her Head – BANKS’ Fifth Studio Album – Out Now!

Sonically reminiscent of her Goddess roots, BANKS shares, “In many ways, it’s a big sister album to Goddess. After a decade apart, I’ve reunited with the core musicians and producers who helped shape my debut. At the same time, it’s something entirely different—I’ve grown so much as an artist and a person, and the journey is documented in all these sounds.”

“When singer-songwriter BANKS delivers new music, there are a few things you can be certain of: it’s going to be beautiful, it’s going to be fire, and it’s going to be relatable.”V MAGAZINE

About BANKS

California-bred singer-songwriter Jillian Rose Banks, aka BANKS, crafts moody, alternative pop with shades of contemporary R&B. Emerging in the early 2010s with her debut album, Goddess, she created a dark signature sound of downtempo, alt-R&B that gained a loyal audience.

Her highly anticipated sophomore album, The Altar, was released in 2016 and included singles “Fuck with Myself,” “Gemini Feed,” and “Mind Games.” BANKS returned with her third studio album, III, in 2019, followed by Serpentina in 2022. In 2024, she celebrated the 10-year anniversary of Goddess with the acoustic Goddess: Unplugged and a four-continent sold-out tour.

Lacuna Coil drops new single “I Wish You Were Dead” ahead of ‘Sleepless Empire’ album release

Lacuna Coil drops new single “I Wish You Were Dead” ahead of ‘Sleepless Empire’ album release this Friday; announces album signing events in UK & Italy, plus EU/UK 2025 fall tour

Just 3 days ahead of the release of their new studio album Sleepless Empire, Italian metal titans Lacuna Coil gives fans the ultimate single – “I Wish You Were Dead” – to sweeten the time.

Listen to “I Wish You Were Dead” here

“I Wish You Were Dead” is about the emotional turmoil and struggle that accompanies toxic relationships. The song’s video, which will premiere on Thursday at 12PM PT // 3PM ET // 9PM CET, takes the track’s heavy theme and spins it into a romantic Goth tale just in time for Valentine’s Day. Filmed by Martina L Mclean in a church in Capranica, a small town north of Rome, it marks a first in the history of Lacuna Coil: the band performing a choreography!

Save the date: “I Wish You Were Dead” will premiere here

The band shares about the new single and the album release: “We all have this person we wish never existed, right? We all felt the need to erase the same person from our thoughts, someone who hurt us that it’s still in our mind. We wanted to write heavier lyrics on a happier musical canvas. Also we are a little tired of being politically correct at all costs…

‘Sleepless Empire’ captures, through our eyes, the chaos of a generation trapped in a digital world that never stops, where social media consumes identity and every day pushes us one step closer to becoming soulless zombies. We find ourselves in between, having witnessed a full analogic world and the modern one, confronting the evolution and searching for a true meaning of it all. Throughout every song, the journey is an undercurrent of rebellion, a desperate cry to reclaim oneself in an era that seems to have lost its sense of time and reality.”

Sleepless Empire marks the 10th studio album of Lacuna Coil and is set to be released this Friday, February 14th, via Century Media Records. It is the first full-length release after their remake album Comalies XX, which came out in 2022. The new album is comprised of 11 tracks, and each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and place. With Sleepless Empire, that place is dark, cinematic, and unmistakably true to the unique characteristics that have given Lacuna Coil such a celebrated entry in the annals of heavy music.

The Father of Make Believe due March 14th

VIA VIRGIN MUSIC GROUP

Coheed and Cambria also have shared the new single “Someone Who Can” from their forthcoming album The Father of Make Believe, set for release on March 14th via Virgin Music Group.

  1. Yesterday Lost
  2. Goodbye, Sunshine
  3. Searching For Tomorrow
  4. The Father of Make Believe
  5. Meri of Mercy
  6. Blind Side Sonny
  7. Play The Poet
  8. One Last Miracle
  9. Corner My Confidence
  10. Someone Who Can
  11. The Continuum I: Welcome to Forever, Mr. Nobody
  12. The Continuum II: The Flood
  13. The Continuum III: Tethered Together
  14. The Continuum IV: So It Goes

“Someone Who Can” is arguably the band’s most accessible song in their 24-year career. Frontman Claudio Sanchez remarked, “When you’re growing up, you’re perpetually trying to understand the world that’s changing around you. Over time, it’s comforting to reach the conclusion that you’ll never truly have things figured out.”

Along with the track’s release, the band shared its heartwarming video (directed by Mason Mercer) where we glimpse the early days of Coheed and Cambria in and around Nyack, New York. “Someone Who Can” follows the previously shared singles Blind Side Sonny and Searching For Tomorrow along with Claudio Covers, which arrived at the end of last year.
