Teenage Modern Prog Metal BABY ON A RAMPAGE Assert Its Identity w/ “Reclaim” From New EP “Forgive My Figure” Out Nov 2026

Co‑produced with Scott Proctor (Five Finger Death Punch touring member; Machine Head/Testament tech; Amongst Thieves; State Line Empire)

Bay Area progressive modern‑metal band Baby On A Rampage announces the upcoming release of its new EP “Forgive My Figure,” due out on November 12, 2026. Co‑produced with Scott Proctor (Five Finger Death Punch touring member; Machine Head/Testament tech; Amongst Thieves; State Line Empire), the EP marks the band’s most expansive and mature sound to date. It follows the BOAR’s 2025 debut album “Fall With Disgrace” produced by Michael Rosen (Testament, AFI, Less Than Jake).

The lead single “Reclaim”, accompanied by the band’s first official music video, will debut ahead of the band’s performance at the End of the Summer Blowout Fest on September 6 at Field of Dreams Lincoln Theater Garden in Oakland, CA.

“Reclaim” stands as one of Baby On A Rampage’s most powerful compositions. Written entirely by Ash Lee (Guitars, Vocals), the track confronts political violence, colonization, and environmental devastation.

“When I wrote the song, I was definitely bothered by the genocide in Palestine, and it’s very much a song about standing up and taking back, or kind of a call for some sort of revolution, like metaphorically, to take back a government position. Talking about the colonization history of the United States government, and how they’re constantly funding other governments before putting their own people at the forefront of their concerns. I mean, it’s about a lot of different kinds of government overreach, and the later sections are about the genocide of native people and taking their land, and it’s definitely an environmental song.”

Musically, “Reclaim” represents a clear step forward for the band, built as a multi‑section journey rather than a straightforward heavy track. Its verses hit with a dark, commanding intensity, while the clean passage opens into a big, emotional, hopeful swell. The contrast gives the song an almost spiritual lift and an anthemic feel, and it’s become a standout live moment as audiences who have heard it have connected with it immediately.

The band’s second offering since recording their original material, “Forgive My Figure,” represents a major leap in their evolution. The band’s writing has matured significantly, resulting in a cohesive sonic identity.

“This is our most musically and melodically complex release so far… a big wall of sound… a lot of ear candy. I think those who have been following us will hear how much we have matured since our first album and are still evolving, particularly since we’re still all teenagers,” adds Lee.

Co‑producer and engineer Scott Proctor helped shape the EP’s broader, more modern metal direction, using his skill in vocal harmonies and layered arrangements to sharpen its impact. His work brought greater focus and emotional definition to the record, while mastering engineer Matt Boudreau added the final depth and clarity.

“Scott has an incredible ear for harmonies and layering, and he pushed the songs to hit harder by stripping away anything unnecessary. His guidance on tracks like ‘Reclaim’ and ‘Failure of One’s Name’ made the arrangements clearer, stronger, and far more impactful,” adds Lee.

The EP brings together four thematically heavy tracks, each tackling personal or political conflict. “Immaculate Teeth” confronts the performative nature of American politics and the harm it masks. “My Tragedy” dives into cycles of self‑destruction and the struggle to break free. “Failure of One’s Name” explores identity, grief, and healing, rooted in drummer Lyra Renninger’s experience as a trans woman and Ash Lee’s reflections on loss. “Reclaim” serves as the EP’s centerpiece, merging political urgency with emotional release to create one of the band’s most resonant anthems.

As a teenage modern‑metal band from the East Bay, Baby On A Rampage is known for its dense, melodic, emotionally charged sound. Formed at Bandworks, the group has grown from child prodigies into one of the Bay Area’s most promising young heavy acts. They’ve been compared to Strapping Young Lad, Baroness, Gojira, and Mastodon, while forging a distinct identity rooted in progressive songwriting, theatrical energy, and community‑driven live shows.

The band’s pandemic‑era demo, recorded in Ash’s living room, earned praise from members of Forbidden, Slayer, and other industry veterans. They’ve since toured the Pacific Northwest, Canada, the West Coast, Texas, and the Midwest, surpassing 100 shows by the end of 2025 and continuing to forge on the live front across the USA in 2026.

“Forgive My Figure” will be available on all digital platforms as of November 12, 2026.

NEWS RELEASE

Montreal, QC – June 9, 2026

AFTER INFINITY Shares Uplifting New Single “Infinite Feeling”

New Album “Beyond Eternity” Out October 23rd, 2026 via Rockshots Records

Pre-Order Available Now!

Finnish melodic metal act After Infinity continues the journey toward their upcoming album “Beyond Eternity” with the release of the new single “Infinite Feeling“, accompanied by an official visualizer.

Following the heavy riffs and themes of rebellion explored on the previous single “King With No Crown“, the band now reveals a brighter and more uplifting side of its musical identity. Featuring guest vocalists Nitte Valo (Dreamtale, ex-Battle Beast) and Leonard F. Guillan (ex-King Company), “Infinite Feeling” combines energetic melodies, driving rhythms, and an irresistible synth-driven hook, showcasing another facet of the stylistic diversity that defines “Beyond Eternity“.

Conceived and led by guitarist and songwriter Zsolt Szilagyi, After Infinity‘s sophomore album expands upon the foundations of the band’s 2024 debut, exploring the intersection of power metal, heavy metal and progressive metal while maintaining a strong melodic core. While the album embraces a wide emotional spectrum, “Infinite Feeling” stands as one of its most uplifting moments.

Commenting on the new single, Zsolt Szilagyi states:

“Infinite Feeling is an ode to the eccentric and perhaps neurodivergent artists who aren’t afraid of being 100% who they are. Even if they might have extra struggles in their daily life, they make it up by giving extra deep feelings into their lives and the lives of people around them. It’s a happy and energetic song driven by a synth riff that makes your head bob, like it or not.”

The song celebrates individuality, creativity, and self-expression, paying tribute to those who embrace their uniqueness and transform it into something meaningful. Musically, it balances catchy melodic sensibilities with the layered arrangements and dynamic songwriting that characterize the band’s approach.

With the release date now confirmed for October 23rd, 2026, “Infinite Feeling” offers another glimpse into the diverse musical landscape of “Beyond Eternity“. The album follows closely in the footsteps of the band’s debut, combining heavy riffs, memorable melodies, and rich orchestral arrangements while pushing further into progressive territory. Across its nine tracks and six guest vocalists, the record delivers a constantly evolving listening experience without losing its distinctive identity.

Rather than relying on a fixed vocalist, After Infinity has built the project around a collaborative concept, allowing each song to develop its own character while remaining part of a cohesive artistic vision. This approach once again plays a central role in “Beyond Eternity“, where every guest performer contributes a unique voice and perspective to the album’s narrative.

Produced by Zsolt Szilagyi, with orchestrations by Gideon Ricardo and bass performances by Ville Koskinen, the album combines powerful songwriting with carefully crafted arrangements, balancing immediacy and complexity throughout its running time.

ABOUT:

After Infinity is a Finnish melodic power and heavy metal project founded in 2022 by guitarist and songwriter Zsolt Szilagyi, known for his work with Dreamtale and Frozen Factory. Built around a flexible and collaborative structure, the band emerged from Szilagyi’s desire to move beyond a purely solo approach and create a dynamic musical environment involving multiple performers.

Rather than relying on a fixed line-up of vocalists, After Infinity developed a distinctive identity by working with a wide range of guest singers, allowing each track to take on its own character while maintaining a cohesive artistic vision.

This approach quickly became a defining element of the project, turning it into a platform where different voices and influences converge.

The band’s sound blends heavy guitar riffs, rich orchestrations, and strong melodic hooks, moving seamlessly between powerful metal compositions and more introspective passages driven by piano and atmospheric textures. Drawing from power metal, heavy metal, and progressive influences, After Infinity aims to deliver a diverse listening experience shaped by contrast, emotion, and compositional depth.

Their self-titled debut album, released in 2024, received positive feedback for its songwriting and musicianship, establishing the project within the contemporary Finnish metal scene. Building on that foundation, the sophomore album “Beyond Eternity” further expands the band’s sonic palette, introducing new guest vocalists and pushing the balance between heaviness, melody, and progressive elements while preserving the core identity that defines After Infinity.
