On wednesday September 30th 2026 at 21h on YouTube Channel @shakearsmagazine : “Give Me 5” is back for the new school year! Episode 10 - 10 newcomers to the French and international music scene, across all genres. Five albums each released in 2026, debut albums or EPs for their artists.

In her new album, "These Killing Times", Emma Ruth Rundle draws on a wellspring of energy, channeling her anger to resist despair, as if caught between two opposing poles. It’s a masterful blend of anger and determination, a secret formula that only Emma Ruth Rundle knows, which she has just shared with the world as a call to action.

Less experimental than its predecessor, the new album by the Swedish band Les Big Byrd, titled Ruin Everything, is a fireworks display of krautrock melodies that blend ’70s guitars with ’80s keyboards, all carried by spellbinding choruses that evoke both disillusionment and nostalgia, in both English and Swedish, giving the whole a lanky pop vibe.

what stands out in this new solo venture, titled Vox occulta, is Einar Solberg’s talent for rhythmic composition, which transforms these pieces into components of a soundtrack brimming with vocal and instrumental textures that cast a spell on you.

For over 20 years, Gozu has been crafting an unapologetic brand of stoner rock that stays true to its Black Sabbath roots but has been shaped just as much by the sounds of Kyuss, Alice in Chains, and Metallica.

With High on the Low Brow, Datura 4 deliver an album of great sonic maturity, summoning the spirits of the desert in their trippy stoner rock, boogie, and even jazz when the mood strikes, with heavy use of organ and saxophone, for nearly 45 minutes of auditory pleasure.

This Through Zero is already establishing itself as a truly great album, built on a clearly progressive foundation into which the band injects—with remarkable energy and intelligence—the best of stoner and heavy metal riffs. With six tracks ranging from 5 to over 10 minutes, Elder once again commands respect, without veering into either showboating or tedium, making this 2026 release an excellent progressive rock album that you should listen to right away!

Following the live broadcast of “Give Me 5” Episode 3 (replay available on YouTube), dedicated to women whose music has changed their lives, hosts @cutecadavra and @shakearsmagazine are launching the “Pink October” challenge on October 1, 2025: every day of the month, an album will be featured to highlight a female artist or a girl band.

In Abyss, the artist synthesizes, with a particularly rocking personal anger, half a century of injustices and divisions that have brought us to where we are today: on the brink of the abyss. Powerful as a megaphone, caustic as a Maldororian chant, inhabited as a shamanic dance at the foot of the Wall.
