The post‑punk duo Edges, made up of Nick Ruvalcaba and Cristina Sardón, is back on the scene with a new single titled “One Bad Move”, officially released on January 16, 2026. The song marks another step in the band’s sonic evolution, combining urgent guitars, enveloping synthesizers, hardcore energy, and the vocal duality that defines the project.

On January 2, 2026, the darkwave/post‑punk scene received an unexpected gift: The Spoiled, the Italian project led by Giovanni Santolla, and Swedish artist aux animaux (Gözde Düzer) joined forces to release the single “Immacolata”, a collaboration that blends the best of both worlds.

Dutch symphonic metal band Epinikion will release their second album The Force of Nature on February 6, 2026. The independently released record features cinematic orchestration, heavy guitars, and melodic symphonic metal.
