This week’s New Noise (12/09) roundup is stacked with genre-defying releases and unexpected comebacks. Chase Atlantic dive deeper into their dark, hypnotic alt-R&B lane with a sleek new single, while Demi Lovato continues her return to pure pop, delivering a polished, infectious track. Limp Bizkit crash back onto the scene with a chaotic blend of nostalgia and nu-metal energy, and Twenty One Pilots drop a cryptic, emotionally layered track that pushes their narrative further into uncharted territory.

After nearly a decade-long hiatus since Treehouse (2016), electronicore pioneers I See Stars return with their long-awaited, highly anticipated new album THE WHEEL, a deeply personal and arguably ambitious concept album. The record is framed as a “time capsule capturing the past seven years of our lives,” spanning personal trauma, growth, and creative reboot. Produced by David Bendeth and mostly mixed by Zakk Cervini - though Tom Norris also worked on a couple of tracks - THE WHEEL captures vocalist Devin Oliver at his most vulnerable, while musically, the band delivers their most mature, ambitious, and focused work to date.

Electronic hardcore trailblazers I SEE STARS have officially announced their long-awaited new album THE WHEEL, set for release on Friday, 12 September 2025 via Sumerian Records. Marking their first full-length release since 2016’s critically acclaimed Treehouse, the band returns with their signature fusion of immersive electronic textures, crushing guitars, and Devin Oliver’s soaring vocal hooks - all refined and recharged for a new era.
