News: Solid State June 2025 Announcement – Three Heavyweights, Three Distinct Visions
Solid State Records is charging into summer with a powerhouse trio of releases that span the emotional, spiritual, and sonic landscape of modern heavy music. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just catching up, these three bands prove that intensity isn’t just about volume, but vulnerability, growth, and creative fire.
Fit For A King – Lonely God
Fit For A King returns with Lonely God, their eighth studio album, set to release August 1. While the title might suggest distance or isolation, the band leans fully into human fragility and divine tension. The lead single gives us a taste of that signature FFAK balance: thunderous breakdowns paired with melodic hooks, existential lyrics layered over blast zones of metalcore might. It’s introspective without losing its punch, a spiritual scream into the void for anyone who’s ever felt abandoned or awakened.
Wolves At The Gate – Wasteland
Wasteland hit the ground running on May 30, and it’s already turning heads. Wolves At The Gate continue to sharpen their sound with surgical precision—this time plunging into a dystopian world of soul-searching, loss, and redemption. There’s a cinematic quality to this one. Songs like “Parasite” and “Law of the Wasteland” are drenched in atmosphere, yet still maintain the theological weight and explosive riffs we’ve come to expect. It’s both a battlefield and a prayer.
The Devil Wears Prada – Color Decay (Deluxe Edition)
The expanded edition of Color Decay goes deeper, not wider. The new tracks feel less like bonus material and more like emotional footnotes that were always meant to be there. The Devil Wears Prada continues to evolve without abandoning the chaos that made them. The deluxe release doesn’t reinvent the wheel; it adds spokes to it, reinforcing the raw, unfiltered emotion that made the original one of the most vulnerable records in their catalog.
