Following her last single WID4L, Ellen Benediktson shifts the spotlight inward with her next single, Jealousy, released April 10th. The new single confronts the dark, turbulent emotions that churn in all of us — envy, insecurity and feeling like everyone is passing you by “I really want to genuinely celebrate other people’s success as much as I want them to celebrate mine. I get so embarrassed when I’m nagged by jealousy. It’s ugly. Something that I want the song to reflect both lyrically, visually and in the production” With her signature mix of sharp self-awareness and emotional impulsivity, Ellen...

 Following the emotional clarity and pop/rock foundation of her debut EP Good Girl, Ellen Benediktson returns with WID4L — a bold, maximalist continuation of her artistic evolution. The title track, WID4L, releasing March 20th, introduces an era that dives headfirst into a world of reckless devotion. “WID4L is about acting, not thinking,” Ellen says. “I wanted the song to be sensual, ritualistic and horny. No logic here, just feeling, and oh god I hope it never ends.” Driven by hypnotic repetition and pulsing electro-pop production, the single captures yearning at its most intoxicating. Lyrically moving between sacred imagery and raw...

Following a year of growing national momentum and a steady stream of acclaimed releases, Gothenburg-based multi-instrumentalist Telos Vision (the alias of Teodor Boogh) returns with his most explosive collaboration to date. Out March 18 via Icons Creating Evil Art, the new single — featuring Goatman, founder of the masked psych-rock phenomenon GOAT — marks the final release before Telos Vision’s second full-length album Decisions, arriving April 24. Where recent singles from Decisions have explored introspection, intimacy, and emotional nuance, this latest track leans into something more visceral. Gnarly fuzz guitars, wild saxophone bursts, and even an epic triangle collide in...

With About Nordic Folklore, Darkplace unveils a haunting and immersive album built around nine creatures from Nordic myth and oral tradition. Released digitally on March 6th, 2026 via Icons Creating Evil Art, the record marks a deepening of the project’s singular vision — where music, mythology, and atmosphere merge into a unified world of sound and shadow. Each track inhabits its own presence, drawing from folklore that once explained fear, nature, and the unseen. Rather than retelling myths literally, Darkplace explores their emotional and psychological weight: paralysis, seduction, terror, longing, and transformation. The album unfolds like a series of nocturnal...

Swedish rock duo The Gristle release their long-awaited debut album Urban Myth, and go on a Nordic Tour with Philip Shouse. Album released March 6th on Icons Creating Evil Art. Blending blues grit, punk urgency and garage rock swagger, Urban Myth captures the raw immediacy that has defined the band since their formation in 2020. Built around thick, fuzz-laden riffs, pounding drums and a relentless groove, the album sounds bigger than its two-person lineup suggests — and that’s entirely the point. At its core, The Gristle is a stripped-down rock engine: guitar, drums and instinct. Across the album, the band...
