In the past 24 hours, the music world has seen a flurry of exciting new releases and significant announcements. February 14, 2025, marks the release of several highly anticipated albums across various genres.

On the metal front, Bleeding Through has released their new album, *Nine*, on SharpTone Records, which is their first new album since 2018’s *Love Will Kill All*. This album is praised for being a strong return to form for the metalcore act. Hangman’s Chair has also released *Saddiction* on Nuclear Blast, a doom metal album that blends shoegaze and gothic metal elements. Additionally, Lacuna Coil has dropped *Sleepless Empire* on Century Media, an album that explores the themes of a digital world consuming identities and turning people into "soulless zombies"[1].

In other genres, Alessia Cara released her new album *Love & Hyperbole*, while Bartees Strange and The Lumineers have also unveiled their new albums, *Horror* and *Automatic*, respectively. Manic Street Preachers and The Wombats are among the other notable artists with new releases on this date[2].

On the singles side, recent days have seen releases from prominent artists. Lady Gaga dropped *Abracadabra*, LISA released *Born Again* featuring Doja Cat and RAYE, Ava Max debuted *Lost Your Faith*, and DeathByRomy introduced *La La Land*[2].

February 2025 is also shaping up to be a month filled with reissues and archival releases. Neil Young is set to release *Oceanside Countryside*, a previously unreleased album recorded between 1977 and 1978. The entire Creedence Clearwater Revival catalog will be reissued on special vinyl, and David Lee Roth's solo projects between 1985 and 1994 will be compiled in a five-disc set titled *Warner Recordings 1985-1994*[2].

In terms of industry updates, significant investment and legal activities are ongoing. Following the economic downturn in 2022, 2024 saw a return of investment in the music space, including major deals such as Sony Music buying the recording and publishing rights to Queen’s music for nearly $1.3 billion. On the legal front, the Department of Justice is accusing Live Nation-Ticketmaster of operating an unfair monopoly, and there are ongoing lawsuits involving copyright infringement and the use of artists' tracks in political campaigns without permission[2].
