Australia – Industrial hard rock trailblazers Ninety Two Degrees return with their emotionally charged and sonically explosive new single, “Masters Only Know,” releasing worldwide on August 17th, 2025 via Alchemy Now .

This deeply personal anthem doubles as a heartfelt tribute to the legendary Ozzy Osbourne , who the band honors as one of the few true masters to ever walk the Earth. Fueled by heavy riffs, soaring melodies, and dynamic lyrical storytelling, “Masters Only Know” delivers a sound that is equally nostalgic and forward-thinking—channeling the spirit of classic icons like Ozzy, Iron Maiden, and Dio-era Black Sabbath , while incorporating the dark industrial pulse and modern edge that define Ninety Two Degrees.

“There are only a few real masters in this world. Most who profess to be are an illusion at best,” shares vocalist and founder Mike Puskas . “The recent passing of Ozzy Osbourne left me with profound hurt and grief. His music, his humor, and his gratitude to those who had less were inspiring. This track is our way of saying thank you—to the immortal Prince of Darkness.”

“Masters Only Know” is more than a song; it's a spiritual homage to a man who transcended darkness to embody light and love through his lyrics and presence. The official video reflects this duality, offering powerful imagery that pays respect to Ozzy's larger-than-life influence, while firmly asserting Ninety Two Degrees as a force of their own.

About Ninety Two Degrees:

Hailing from Australia , Ninety Two Degrees is an enigmatic industrial hard rock band featuring seasoned musicians from diverse and accomplished musical backgrounds. Fusing introspective and culturally influenced lyrics with dynamic melodies and infectious grooves, their music speaks to fans of Alice in Chains , Nine Inch Nails , and Sisters of Mercy —with an energy that is both timeless and entirely of the now.

⚡ About Visitant & IATT

Visitant was founded by guitarist Taylor Tidwell (Unaligned) and vocalist Chelsea Marrow (Voraath), and delivers a cinematic fusion of blackened groove, symphonic chaos, and raw emotional catharsis. Rounded out by Anthony Lusk-Simone (Abiotic, Lattermath) on drums and orchestration, Kilian Duarte (Abiotic, Scale the Summit) on bass, and Thomas Weidick on guitar, Visitant channels the primal essence of bands like Gojira , Opeth , Dimmu Borgir , Mgła , Leaves’ Eyes , and Chelsea Wolfe .

Their upcoming debut album Rubidium (out August 22 via Exitus Stratagem Records) has already generated buzz in the extreme metal world with the release of two singles:

🎧 “Starless” – Premiered exclusively via No Clean Singing , explores themes of grief, wrath, and dark femininity.

🎧 “Fodder” – Recently featured on Metal Injection’s Top Tracks of the Week , standing tall alongside Cryptopsy, Lorna Shore, and more.

IATT (Philadelphia, PA) has been reshaping the boundaries of blackened death metal since 2008. Known for their daring blend of progressive , black , death , gothic , and even jazz elements, IATT’s sound is both technically masterful and wildly inventive. Described as a "blackened melting pot," they bring fierce creativity to extreme metal's outer edge.

Their third full-length, Magnum Opus , was hailed by Angry Metal Guy as “wondrously adventurous and experimental,” reflecting both the alchemical roots of its title and the band’s unrelenting ambition. While not quite a “masterpiece,” the album is seen as a metaphorical “great work” — further cementing IATT’s place as one of the most intriguing modern black metal acts.

From blistering blackened blasts to elegant violin and piano passages (featuring Ben Karas of Windfaerer ), to sax solos and proggy detours, Magnum Opus is a whirlwind of styles. Tracks like “Exculpate, Exonerate,” “Servitude, Subjugate,” and “Seven Wandering Stars” swing from classical horror atmospheres to chaotic groove and jazz fusion — with vocalist Jay Briscoe and drummer Paul Cole delivering standout performances.

“Even their missteps are something to marvel at… a wealth of exploration and discovery in areas most black metal acts would never dream of treading.”
— Angry Metal Guy

With each release, IATT proves that experimentation in extreme metal can be both visionary and vicious.

Thirteen Goats Unleash “Animal Kingdom” Video via BraveWords – Kick Off Summer Festival Blitz and Earn WCMA Nomination - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Thirteen Goats Unleash “Animal Kingdom” Video via BraveWords – Kick Off Summer Festival Blitz and Earn WCMA Nomination

July 30, 2025 – Genre-bending metal juggernaut Thirteen Goats have unveiled the official music video for their latest single, “Animal Kingdom,” exclusively premiered by BraveWords . The track is the closing statement on their critically acclaimed sophomore album Capricorn Rising , released earlier this month via Exitus Stratagem Records .

Featuring guest vocals from Carly Ellen Jones , “Animal Kingdom” is the most daring and expansive track the band has tackled to date. The song opens with eerie, arpeggiated clean chords and haunting vocals before exploding into a wall of guitar harmonies, ominous grooves, and a cathartic duet between Jones and lead vocalist Graham K. Miles , culminating in a crushing climax that BraveWords describes as “ferociously heavy.”

The music video, directed by Miles himself, depicts a summoning ritual gone wrong, where the band members fall under the spell of a demon (portrayed by Jones). “It’s classic be-careful-what-you-wish-for stuff,” says Miles. “Thematically, it’s a warning about the seductive pull of extremist movements and the dangers of radicalization.”

Miles drew inspiration for the video from the surreal and subversive works of filmmaker David Lynch , who passed away earlier this year. “His art was fantastical and surreal, but always grounded in real, contemporary issues. That’s what we’re aiming for with this video and this album.”

With the video now out, Thirteen Goats are set to ignite stages across Western Canada with an aggressive summer festival schedule. Their first stop is Loud As Hell Open Air on August 3 in Drumheller, AB, where they’ll perform alongside Revocation , Insurrection , Gorepig , Cyborg Octopus , Squidhammer , Beguiler , and many others. Additional live appearances include Mosh the Rock in Sooke, BC on August 10 , and Party in the Park in Fort McMurray, AB on September 13 .

In more great news, Thirteen Goats have also been nominated for Metal & Hard Music Artist of the Year at the 2025 Western Canadian Music Awards , alongside Anciients , Torrefy , Art of Attrition , and Holy Void .

Shrouded In Darkness - 11:11 - Reviewed By Sweden Rock! - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Shrouded in Darkness Score High Praise in Sweden Rock Magazine!

New Album 11:11 Out Now via Black Vulture Records

Swedish death/doom trio Shrouded in Darkness continue their haunting rise with a powerful new feature in Sweden Rock Magazine , the country’s legendary rock and metal bible. In the June 2025 issue (featuring Alice Cooper on the cover) , renowned critic Jesper Löfvenborg delivers a glowing 7/10 review of the band’s third full-length album 11:11 , calling it:

"A shroud of mourning that never lets go… the band’s sorrowfully doomsday death metal is supported by a compact atmospheric darkness... hypnotic and emotionally resonant."

Löfvenborg also highlighted the crushing opener “No Escape,” praised the band’s hypnotic, emotionally immersive sound, and singled out the track “Cruel Winds” for its effective contrast brought by guest vocalist Camilla Tjernberg .

Read the full review below.

Go grab a copy of the magazine here:
https://swedenrockmagazine.com/ />

Shrouded In Darkness
11:11
BLACK VULTURE / DOWNFALL
Funeral/death metal

You are immediately thrown into a mood-setting organ intro that paves the gravel path to the opening "No escape" and Shrouded In Darkness's seriously heavy crypt. The songs exceed the consistent five-minute mark, which is both expressive and creatively reasonable. I could even accept if the album only contained one long track, so that the creation from Gothenburg could flow without seams.

"11:11" is embraced as a shroud of mourning that never lets go, yet guides both the music and my emotional experience. Slowly I am transported forward and eventually the monotonous sound image becomes somewhat hypnotic. I wish they had used Camilla Tjernberg’s vocals more; her contribution in "Cruel Winds" creates an effective contrast to the music’s doom-soaked vein. The band's sorrowfully doomsday death metal is supported by a compact atmospheric darkness and the closing title track echoes far beyond what I usually seek from a funeral bier to instead search for the nuanced details in the shadows.

Rating: 7/10
– Jesper Löfvenborg

The timing of this recognition couldn’t be better as the band recently unveiled the official lyric video for “The Lurking Devil” —a standout cut from 11:11 that blends relentless death metal heaviness with a bleak doom-laden atmosphere.

🎥 Watch “The Lurking Devil” (Official Lyric Video):

About the Album: 11:11

Released on May 30th, 2025 via Black Vulture Records , 11:11 is the band’s most ominous and hypnotic effort to date—eight tracks of emotionally-charged death/doom that channels the desolate spirit of early Paradise Lost , My Dying Bride , and Evoken .

Band Line-Up:

Daniel T. – Vocals, Keyboards

Reese – Guitar

Mike – Bass, Drums

For Fans Of:

Funeral Doom, Early Peaceville Three, Atmospheric Death Metal

🕯️ Sink into the shadows and explore the abyss with 11:11 —a soundtrack for those who seek beauty in sorrow and power in gloom.

BLACK ALTAR Unleash New Lyric Video for “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” via No Clean Singing - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BLACK ALTAR Unleash New Lyric Video for “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” via No Clean Singing

Polish Black Metal Force Returns with a Blistering Visual Dive into Qliphothic Mysticism

Polish black metal institution BLACK ALTAR has just premiered their haunting and esoteric new lyric video for the track “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” , exclusively via No Clean Singing . The track is taken from the acclaimed three-way split Drakonian Elitism , released earlier this year through Odium Records , featuring BLACK ALTAR alongside Sweden’s Ofermod and Greece’s Acherontas .

Originally formed in 1998 and helmed by the enigmatic Shadow , BLACK ALTAR has built a deep discography of albums, splits, EPs, and compilations. “In the Labyrinths of Sitra Achra” is one of four songs contributed by the band to Drakonian Elitism , and this new video adds a visual layer to the already intense sonic ritual.

In their feature, No Clean Singing describes the track as:

“Possessed, sinister, lustful, defiant, and ecstatically fierce... Shadow’s gritty vocals narrate a deep dive into the labyrinthine abyss of transgression, seeking rebirth under the light of a black sun.”

Lyrically and thematically, the song delves into Kabbalistic mysticism , invoking the Left-Hand Path, the Tree of Death, and entities such as Lilith, Samael, Baal, and various Qliphothic spheres including A’arab Zaraq, Thagirion, and Thaumiel. The result is a piece that is both mythologically rich and musically ferocious.

The lyric video was created using ritual footage by Totenkult and expertly assembled by Audiopower Studio , making it a fitting visual representation of the song’s spiritual depth and raw power.

BLACK ALTAR - Studio Lineup:

Shadow – vocals, bass

Necro – guitars

James Stewart – drums

Lars Broddesson – clean vocals

Drakonian Elitism was mixed and mastered by Dionysis Dimitrakos at Descent Studio (Athens) and features cover art by renowned artist Daniele Valeriani . The release is available in a variety of physical formats including deluxe wooden box vinyl editions, cassette tapes, and 8-panel digipak CDs, as well as digitally. Merch and shirt designs are also available via Odium Records.

Also available: The official video for “Via Draconis” – another BLACK ALTAR offering from Drakonian Elitism .

For fans of true underground black metal, ritualistic atmosphere, and Kabbalistic lore, this release is not to be missed.

Thousands Gather in Birmingham to Honor Ozzy Osbourne During Funeral Procession - @thebeast

Fans of the late Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne gathered in the streets of his hometown today to say a final farewell to the man who defined heavy metal for generations. The funeral cortège made its way through Birmingham’s Broad Street, offering a poignant opportunity for the public to pay tribute to a musical icon whose influence spanned decades and continents.

Beginning at 1 p.m. local time (5 a.m. PDT / 8 a.m. EDT), the hearse carrying Osbourne’s body moved slowly through the city accompanied by a brass band performance from local musicians Bostin' Brass. The procession made its way to the Black Sabbath Bridge — a site now blanketed with flowers, handwritten notes, and other tributes from thousands of devoted fans.

The city of Birmingham, which has always been proud to claim Osbourne as a native son, worked closely with the Osbourne family over the weekend to organize the respectful public tribute. All costs associated with the event were generously covered by the family.

“Ozzy was more than a music legend — he was a son of Birmingham,” said Zafar Iqbal, Birmingham’s Lord Mayor. “Having recently received the Freedom of the City and returned for one final show at Villa Park, it was important that we give him a send-off befitting his legacy. We are proud to host it here in the place where it all began.”

This event precedes a private funeral, the details of which have not been disclosed. In the meantime, a book of condolence has been made available to the public at the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, near the ongoing "Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero" exhibition which highlights his monumental solo career.

The moment is bittersweet for many, as it comes just weeks after Osbourne’s surprise final performance at Villa Park earlier this month. There, Ozzy performed four songs with Black Sabbath — Geezer Butler, Tony Iommi, and Bill Ward — to a crowd of over 40,000, with nearly 6 million tuning in via livestream. It would be the last time fans would see him perform live.

Ozzy Osbourne passed away on the morning of July 22, surrounded by his family. The cause of death has not been released, but he had struggled in recent years with Parkinson’s disease and complications from a serious fall in 2019.

In a 2011 interview with The Times of London, Ozzy joked about his future funeral, saying: “I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and 'We Are the Diddymen' if it makes 'em happy... I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest.”

And a celebration it was.

Born in Aston, Birmingham, in 1948, Osbourne co-founded Black Sabbath in 1968, a band now considered the godfathers of heavy metal. Their innovative, doom-laden sound laid the foundation for an entire genre, with over 75 million albums sold worldwide. Ozzy later enjoyed a successful solo career and became a household name through the Emmy-winning reality TV show The Osbournes.

In 2006, Ozzy and his Black Sabbath bandmates were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2024, he was honored again — this time for his solo work. He also won multiple Grammy Awards, including Best Metal Performance in 1993 for “I Don’t Want to Change the World.”

Ever the iconoclast, Osbourne launched the now-legendary Ozzfest in 1996 after being turned down by Lollapalooza. The festival became a launchpad for countless metal acts and a touchstone event for fans of heavy music.

Ozzy leaves behind his wife Sharon, three children from his first marriage, and three children with Sharon: Jack, Kelly, and Aimee.

Today, Birmingham — and the world — mourns the loss of a legend. But as Ozzy once said, there will be no "mope-fest" — only the sound of music, laughter, and love as fans reflect on the legacy of the Prince of Darkness.

Rest in peace, Ozzy.

Birmingham to Bid Final Farewell to Ozzy Osbourne with Public Funeral Procession - @thebeast

The city of Birmingham will come together this Wednesday, July 30th, to pay tribute to one of its most iconic sons, the late Ozzy Osbourne. A public funeral procession will take place through the streets of the Prince of Darkness’ hometown, offering fans one final opportunity to honor the legendary Black Sabbath frontman before a private family service.

The procession will begin at 1 p.m. local time, traveling down the city’s historic Broad Street, a cultural artery in Birmingham’s entertainment district. It will pause at the famed Black Sabbath bench and nearby bridge—both of which have transformed into emotional shrines since Ozzy’s passing on July 22nd. Flowers, candles, memorabilia, and handwritten messages from mourning fans now cover the area.

Adding to the solemnity and celebration of the moment, musicians from local ensemble Bostin’ Brass will accompany the hearse with a live brass performance—a fitting nod to both Birmingham’s industrial roots and its rich musical heritage.

In a statement to The Independent, Birmingham city councillor and mayor Zafar Iqbal reflected on Ozzy’s deep ties to the city:

“Ozzy was more than a music legend – he was a son of Birmingham.

Having recently been awarded the Freedom of the City and following his celebrated appearance at the Back to the Beginning concert at Villa Park earlier this month, it was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral.

We know how much this moment will mean to his fans. We’re proud to host it here with his loving family in the place where it all began, and we are grateful that they have generously offered to pay to enable this to happen and support the city in giving him the farewell he deserves.”

To accommodate the large crowd expected, Birmingham city council coordinated transportation plans and temporary diversions for buses and trams in collaboration with the Osbourne family, who are covering all associated costs of the procession.

For those unable to attend in person, a livestream of the tribute at the Black Sabbath bench will be available, allowing fans from around the world to take part in the historic farewell.

A Legacy That Transcends Music

Ozzy Osbourne’s death has left an immeasurable void in the global heavy metal community. In the days since, tributes have poured in from around the world. Fellow musicians, celebrities, and fans have all expressed their grief, sharing memories of the legendary frontman’s larger-than-life persona, groundbreaking music, and indelible impact on culture.

Most notably, longtime friend and Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler shared a heartfelt message recalling Ozzy as “frail” during rehearsals for what would be his final performance at the July 5th Back to the Beginning concert. Despite his physical state, Ozzy performed both solo and alongside his Black Sabbath brothers, leaving fans with an unforgettable final bow.

As Birmingham prepares to say goodbye, the world remembers a man who turned pain and darkness into art, who shocked, amused, and inspired generations—and who, through it all, never stopped being a kid from Aston with a dream.

Ozzy Osbourne may be gone, but his voice, his music, and his legacy will echo forever.

Every Day Should Be Ozzy Day: A Personal Tribute to the Prince of Darkness - @thebeast

Every Day Should Be Ozzy Day: A Personal Tribute to the Prince of Darkness

By Zachary Moonshine

It’s been a week since the world lost one of heavy metal’s greatest icons — Ozzy Osbourne — and I still can’t believe the Madman is really gone. The outpouring of love online has been overwhelming, with fans suggesting that we declare a national Ozzy Day . Honestly, I’m down to make every damn day Ozzy Day.

For me, Ozzy wasn’t just a legend on a stage or a voice in my headphones — he was the very reason I fell in love with heavy metal in the first place. Whenever someone asks me which artist I’ve seen live the most, the answer is always Ozzy. Whether it was his solo tours, his days fronting Black Sabbath, or headlining Ozzfests — I’ve seen him more times than I can count.

My Introduction to the Madman

I was just a kid in the early '80s when Ozzy first entered my world. I remember seeing the “Bark at the Moon” video on MTV — maybe on Headbangers Ball , or maybe even before that show existed. Around that time, the media painted Ozzy as this terrifying, almost mythical figure. The infamous bat story, the satanic rumors, the headlines — it all created this mysterious and dangerous allure.

In 1986, I was 8 years old and just discovering rock and metal. My cassette collection at the time included Slippery When Wet , Shout at the Devil , Theatre of Pain , and a dubbed tape of Iron Maiden’s Number of the Beast . I blasted those albums on my little boombox like they were gospel. Thankfully, I didn’t grow up in a religious household, and my mom supported my musical curiosity.

One day, my babysitter — a classic ’80s rocker chick — scored tickets to see Bon Jovi with Cinderella at the Capitol Centre in Landover, Maryland (yes, the same venue from the cult classic Heavy Metal Parking Lot ). They had an extra ticket and asked my mom if I could come along. She said yes.

That night blew my young mind. I stood on my seat just to see the stage. The lights, the sound, the crowd — and yes, the wave of women flashing the band the moment they came onstage — it was wild. I was hooked.

“That’s Grown Folks Music”

Soon after that, my babysitter brought me to her apartment, and her boyfriend was chilling on the couch, flipping through a stack of tapes. I noticed some Ozzy and Black Sabbath albums and got curious. I asked him what they sounded like. He laughed and said something like, “That’s grown folks music. Too dark, too heavy for kids. You stick to your Motley Crüe, kid.”

Well, that was all the motivation I needed. A few weeks later, I went to the local record store with my allowance and headed straight to the Ozzy section. I saw Bark at the Moon … almost bought it. But then I spotted Speak of the Devil — the double cassette with that demonic cover of Ozzy, vampire fangs and blood dripping — and I knew I had to have it.

As soon as we got in the car, I popped it into my Walkman. The moment “Symptom of the Universe” blasted through my headphones, I was transported to another world. Ozzy’s voice, the rawness, the wild stage banter, the profanity — it felt real. It felt dangerous. And it felt right . That was my gateway to the real heavy metal, and I was never the same after that.

The Live Experience

Fast forward to the early ’90s. I’m in high school, now living in Phoenix, Arizona. Right after No More Tears, Ozzy had just released or was getting ready to release Ozzmosis, and he was at the height of his career. Sepultura — another band I was deeply into — was opening for him. We scored tickets, and when Ozzy walked on stage and screamed “Let’s go fucking crazy!” , the place exploded. Goosebumps. Total mayhem.

But what I remember most from that night wasn’t the chaos — it was the love. Ozzy kept saying “I love you” to the crowd, over and over. That always stuck with me. It wasn’t just a catchphrase; it was real . He meant it.

After that show, I never missed another Ozzy concert for the next two decades. I followed his career like a religion. I bought every record, every reissue. I dove deeper into Black Sabbath, and eventually, I realized something:

Ozzy and Sabbath weren’t just bands. They were the blueprint for everything that came after.

The Legacy Lives On

Today, I run a heavy metal PR company, a metal radio show and station, and I help organize a metal music festival. None of that would’ve been possible if that one cassette tape hadn’t found its way into my hands all those years ago. None of this would exist if Black Sabbath — the song that started it all — hadn’t been recorded.

It’s wild to think about. The ripple effect of one band, one voice, one madman from Birmingham, England… It changed my entire life. And I know I’m not alone.

So thank you, Ozzy.
Thank you, Black Sabbath.
Thank you for creating the sound that defined a generation — and built an entire culture.

Rest in peace, Ozzy. We love you. Forever.

Fahrenheit Paradox Unleashes “Survive” – Official Music Video Out Now! - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Fahrenheit Paradox Unleashes “Survive” – Official Music Video Out Now!
Modern Metal Veterans Deliver Visceral New Chapter from Upcoming Album “World of Chaos”

🎧 Stream the single:
https://ffm.bio/fahrenheit_paradox

Mexico’s modern metal juggernauts Fahrenheit Paradox continue their powerful comeback with the release of “Survive,” the band’s latest single accompanied by a hard-hitting official music video , now streaming on YouTube. “Survive” is a ferocious new entry in the band’s evolution, blending precise musicianship, emotive melodies, and razor-sharp vocals to devastating effect.

As the fifth single from their highly anticipated album World of Chaos , “Survive” showcases a darker, heavier side of the band’s sonic arsenal, tapping into themes of resilience and personal struggle while delivering tight grooves and soaring guitar work. It’s a must-hear for fans of Symphony X , DGM , and Category 7 .

Written by guitarist Piero Baroccio and produced alongside Alejandro Isaac , Carlos Flores , and Ricardo Ortiz “Wany” , “Survive” exemplifies the band’s signature sound—modern metal steeped in the precision and power of progressive and power metal traditions.

A Legacy Reinvented

Formed from the ashes of Mexican thrash pioneers Draksen , Fahrenheit was born in the early 2000s under the vision of guitarist Alex Isaac , quickly rising to international recognition with the release of their 2002 EP Epic Enter and the acclaimed 2005 album Uncharted Dreams . After a period of growth and transformation, the band reemerged as Fahrenheit Paradox with 2018’s Rain , a bold concept album that cemented their modern identity.

Now in 2025, Fahrenheit Paradox stands at the forefront of progressive modern metal with singles like “Your Hell,” “Evil Night,” “Recall,” and now “Survive,” each marking a new chapter in their relentless pursuit of innovation and intensity.

Fahrenheit Paradox is:

Carlos Flores – Lead Vocals

Alejandro Isaac – Guitar

Piero Baroccio – Guitar

Augusto Azpeitia – Bass

Christian Arambul – Drums

“Survive” is available now on all major streaming platforms, and the official music video is live on YouTube. This is modern metal at its finest—technical, powerful, and emotionally charged.

ENGINES OF AGGRESSION Light the Fuse with Explosive New Single “Start a War” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ENGINES OF AGGRESSION Light the Fuse with Explosive New Single “Start a War”

Out August 12, 2025 via Sonic 9 Records
🎧 Visit the band’s official website for more info

Los Angeles, CA — After decades of cult admiration and near-mythical status, industrial rock insurgents ENGINES OF AGGRESSION are charging back onto the battlefield with their incendiary new single “Start a War,” out August 12, 2025 via Sonic 9 Records .

Blending the mechanized chaos of Rob Zombie , the adrenalized groove of Static-X , and the futuristic edge of Powerman 5000 , “Start a War” is a thunderous call to arms—fuelled by rage, resilience, and unfinished business. Produced by Lamar Lowder , the track is a sonic firestorm that captures the band’s signature fusion of industrial grit, nu metal ferocity, and hard rock swagger , all sharpened for a new era.

Formed in the crucible of the mid-‘90s Los Angeles scene, ENGINES OF AGGRESSION ignited mosh pits and imaginations with their genre-warping sound and high-voltage performances. Led by the uncompromising Tripp , the band once shared stages with icons like Henry Rollins and Danzig , drawing praise from major outlets including the L.A. Times . But just as they were poised for breakout success, a doomed record deal and internal turmoil silenced their rise—while their contemporaries rocketed to stardom.

Now, after decades of fan demand and internet lore, ENGINES OF AGGRESSION have re-emerged stronger than ever. Their recent Black EP (produced by Steve Duda of NIN and Deadmau5 fame) lit the spark—but “Start a War” is the explosion that follows. And this time, they’re not holding back.

With plans to unleash a full set of monster tracks and storm rock and metal festivals across 2026, ENGINES OF AGGRESSION are reclaiming their legacy—and rewriting it on their own terms.

🔥 GET READY TO START A WAR

Release Date: August 12, 2025

HALCYON HOPE RELEASES EMOTIONALLY CHARGED NEW SINGLE “MAKE-UP” OUT NOW VIA DISCRETION IS PARAMOUNT RECORDS - @thebeast

HALCYON HOPE RELEASES EMOTIONALLY CHARGED NEW SINGLE “MAKE-UP”
OUT NOW VIA DISCRETION IS PARAMOUNT RECORDS

🎧 Stream Now:
https://ffm.to/halcyonhope_make-up
📺 Watch the Official Lyric Video:

Emotion meets electricity in a wall of modern alt-rock sound.

Denmark — June 27, 2025 — Danish modern alternative rock band Halcyon Hope unleashes their brand-new single “Make-Up” , available now on all major streaming platforms via their own imprint, Discretion Is Paramount Records . The track arrives with a visually powerful official lyric video , immersing listeners in themes of identity, vulnerability, and staying grounded in an increasingly superficial world.

“Make-Up” marks the latest installment in Halcyon Hope’s ambitious five-EP concept series, each exploring a different stage of grief. This single grapples with the chaos and distractions of modern life through the metaphor of hastily applying makeup — a poetic nod to both the nostalgia of the emo era and the pressure to mask true emotions.

Musically, “Make-Up” hits with an energetic, hook-filled sound that balances emotional depth and anthemic urgency. Fans of Biffy Clyro , Foo Fighters , and Jimmy Eat World will instantly connect with the band’s soaring choruses, cinematic textures, and introspective lyrical weight.

“This song speaks to the daily battle of staying authentic when everything around you demands performance,” says the band. “It’s about showing your scars but still stepping into the light.”

Produced by Miki Petersen , mixed by Benjamin Mlynek , and mastered at Studio 44 in Kvaerndrup, Denmark, “Make-Up” stands as a testament to Halcyon Hope’s ability to blend glossy production with raw, relatable emotion.

With over 100,000 streams, European tours, and features on major radio stations like Planet Rock (UK) and MyROCK (DK) , Halcyon Hope is building strong momentum in the UK , Germany , Scandinavia , and North America . Having graced festival stages including Reeperbahn , SPOT , and Tinderbox , the band continues to earn acclaim for their compelling performances and thoughtful songwriting.

The single’s striking cover art features Santa Claus himself, standing on a beach with a sack of snow in hand, beneath a sign that reads: “Never Elected playing tonight at O’Sho’s.” The iconic O’Shaughnessy’s in Old Town Alexandria—long considered the band’s spiritual home—will host an informal watch party to coincide with the YouTube Live Video Premiere at 8 PM EST on Tuesday, July 31st .

“Summer Snow” is mixed, mastered, and produced by the band’s own Dr. T , showcasing the group’s DIY ethic and unfiltered sonic identity. It’s available everywhere music streams, including Spotify, iTunes, Amazon Music , and more.

Into the Abyss: VISITANT, Defiler of the Crown Art & Reapers Underground Join The Zach Moonshine Show

Last Friday night, The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio plunged headfirst into the shadows of extreme music, art, and underground culture with a special double-feature episode presented by Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest 2025 .

The first half of the show featured Chelsea Marrow , frontwoman of cinematic symphonic death metal act VISITANT , in an exclusive interview filled with raw emotion, dark inspiration, and behind-the-scenes insight into the band’s meteoric rise.

“I’m just putting every bit of my spirit into it,” Chelsea revealed, speaking on the intense grief and transformation that fueled their breakout single “Fodder.”

When discussing their latest track “Starless” , Chelsea described it as “the embodiment of shadow work,” a haunting representation of internal battles and divine feminine rage that shape VISITANT’s creative identity.

She also offered a glimpse into what fans can expect from their upcoming set at TMDMF 2025 , the band’s bold DIY visual aesthetic, and even teased exclusive merch like their custom dark roast coffee blend.

Later in the show, the spotlight shifted to the minds behind Defiler Of The Crown Art and Reapers Underground , two driving forces in underground media who not only document but actively shape the extreme metal and horror communities.

Defiler’s creator shared their origin story:

“It was just a passion project... I wanted to bring together horror and metal in one brutal format.”

Meanwhile, Reapers Underground reflected on their mission to support the scene:

“If a band’s putting in the work, we want to help them get seen.”

Together, both outlets emphasized the powerful synergy between music, horror, visual art, and grassroots journalism — an alliance that keeps the underground fierce, vibrant, and unbreakable.

🕯️ Throughout the episode, we also paid heartfelt tribute to Ozzy Osbourne , sharing personal memories, emotional reflections, and the massive impact he’s had on generations of metalheads worldwide. His spirit loomed large over the broadcast, reminding us why we do what we do.

This wasn’t just another radio show — it was a living, breathing manifestation of underground culture at its finest. A space where sound, story, and spirit collide to create something unforgettable.

New Album Ambassadors of Aggression Out September 26, 2025

Belgrade, Serbia — Serbian death-thrash juggernauts INFEST are officially back in full force, announcing their partnership with Violent Creek Records and dropping a brand-new video for “Are You With Me,” a crushing anthem from their upcoming seventh album, Ambassadors of Aggression , out September 26, 2025 .

Tracks like “Man-God,” “Songs of Violence,” and the Serbian-language crusher “Bolje Da Umrem” promise a vicious ride for fans of Vader , Immolation , and Sinister .

The album was recorded at Vortex Studios in Belgrade, with drums tracked at the renowned Citadela Studios , while Rodoljub Raičkovic handled mixing duties. The final sonic onslaught was mastered by none other than Dan Swanö ( Bloodbath , Opeth , Dark Funeral ), delivering a sound that’s as brutal as it is crisp.

The album artwork—created by the acclaimed Roberto Toderico ( Sinister , Artillery , Asphyx )—perfectly encapsulates the chaos, militarism, and firepower within.

INFEST’s alliance with Violent Creek Records marks a new era, bringing their underground legacy to a wider global audience. With Ambassadors of Aggression , they’re not just releasing an album—they’re declaring war.

The track — a punishing preview of their upcoming full-length album He Who Kills — is now live alongside an exclusive feature on the BraveWords website.

Set for release on August 22, 2025 , via WormholeDeath Records , He Who Kills is being hailed as the band’s most savage and unforgiving work to date.

“This album is a grim reflection of the depraved, viewed through the eyes of the soulless,” says guitarist Mick Barr . “We wanted to deliver something raw, honest, and brutal — He Who Kills is exactly that.”

The new single “Excised Unborn” wastes no time in setting the tone, assaulting listeners with pulverizing riffs, guttural vocals, and a stark, violent visual that echoes the darkest themes of the album. The accompanying music video is now available to stream via BraveWords and the band’s official YouTube channel.

“The single delivers everything fans have come to expect from us,” Barr continues. “Relentless riffs, crushing vocals, and a dark visual narrative. It’s pure MONOLIYTH.”

The band also proudly announces their official signing to WormholeDeath Records , marking a bold new chapter in their ongoing legacy of sonic destruction.
