Arising Empire News: Venues, The Veer Union
The Veer Union release brand new single Sunk Your Teeth In and launch pre-orders for Reinvention.
Vancouver’s alt-metal titans The Veer Union return stronger than ever with their brand-new single “Sunk Your Teeth In”, kicking off the pre-order campaign for their upcoming full-length Reinvention.
Known for blending punishing riffs with soaring, emotionally charged hooks, the band once again delivers a track that feels both massive and unforgettable — a storm of melody, aggression, and raw intensity. Following a string of successful singles including “My Empire”, “Sea of Fear”, and “Caught in the Crossfire”, the new track sets the tone for what promises to be the band’s most powerful chapter yet. Pre-orders for Reinvention are now live.
The band made an instant impact with their breakout hit “Seasons”, which cracked the Top 10 on Active Rock Radio in both the U.S. and Canada. From there, they built an impressive career defined by perseverance, creativity, and constant evolution, selling over 150,000 albums, amassing more than 200 million streams worldwide, and landing 12 singles in the Billboard Rock Top 40. Their 2018 album Decade II delivered four Billboard-charting singles, including the standout “Living Not Alive”, which peaked at #21 and surpassed 20 million streams. Viral success followed in 2019 with their reimagining of Halsey’s “Nightmare” on Covers Collection Vol. 1, which hit #25 on Billboard and racked up more than 10 million streams, while the Quarantine Collaborations project in 2021 continued their momentum with three Billboard-charting singles and over 9 million streams in its first three weeks. 2022’s Manifestations solidified their staying power with over 16 million streams and a successful North American tour, while Covers Collection Vol. 2 (2023) and Welcome to Dystopia (2024) reinforced their creative range and critical acclaim.
The Veer Union are preparing to unleash Reinvention on February 20th, 2026, a record that not only reflects their journey but pushes their sound into bold new territory.

VENUES are back with their brand new single Duality
The wait is over: German modern metal force VENUES have unleashed “Duality”, the very first taste of their upcoming album cycle and the beginning of an audacious new era. Set against the backdrop of a dystopian world where the last living tree becomes a symbol of survival, “Duality” introduces the narrative, sound, and aesthetic vision that will define the band’s most ambitious chapter yet.
Fusing pulsating synths, cinematic soundscapes, and crushing riffs, “Duality” is the blueprint of VENUES 2026 – futuristic, emotional, and unapologetically unique. Vocalist Lela Gruber delivers a breathtaking performance, shifting seamlessly between vulnerability and ferocity, while Robin Baumann’s visceral shouts slice through the chaos with surgical precision. Together, they embody the dual nature of the record: hope and despair, beauty and destruction, fragility and power.
“This time, we wanted to connect everything – sound, story, look, emotion,” says Lela. “Duality is the first step into that world.”
Out October 17, “Duality” marks the start of a carefully crafted rollout where each new single unveils another chapter of the story – a cinematic universe told through music videos, visuals, and sound that blend seamlessly into one immersive experience. With their upcoming album due in summer 2026, VENUES are not only reinventing themselves but pushing the boundaries of what heavy music can be.
VENUES 2026 are not just a band. They are a movement. And “Duality” is where it all begins.
