KÜNTSQUÄD Return With Deranged New Visual for “Genital Dismemberment Bot Cult” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE




KÜNTSQUÄD Return With Deranged New Visual for “Genital Dismemberment Bot Cult”


A Cybernetic Bloodbath From the Album Satan’s Cock

Melbourne, Australia – The unholy chaos machine known as KÜNTSQUÄD is back to desecrate your senses once again. The Australian female-fronted crustmetal/deathpunk heretics have unleashed their latest abomination — the official video for “Genital Dismemberment Bot Cult” , taken from their blasphemous sophomore album Satan’s Cock , out now via Wormholedeath Records .

Watch “Genital Dismemberment Bot Cult” (Official Video) :



The single is exactly what it sounds like — a grotesque, industrialized blood ritual masquerading as a song. With blast-beaten grooves, rusted mechanical riffs, and a savage vocal onslaught, “Genital Dismemberment Bot Cult” takes aim at the dehumanizing decay of modern tech culture — where flesh meets circuitry and everything bleeds in 4K.

“Every KÜNTSQUÄD track is like getting hit by a garbage truck full of corpses and bad ideas,” laughs guitarist/vocalist Paula VC Damnzal . “This one just happens to have a bot cult and more lube.”

Following their 2022 self-titled debut — which sold out multiple pressings and carved their name deep into the crust of the underground — KÜNTSQUÄD have doubled down on the filth. Satan’s Cock is a savage, satirical masterstroke of crust, death, and punk chaos wrapped in the blackened absurdity that only this band could conjure.

Recently hailed by Sentinel Daily as the #1 Album on their Top 30 Chart, the record was praised as “another half hour of sonic unpleasantness… even more extreme this time around.”

CODE ETERNAL UNLEASH NEW SINGLE “BRACE YOURSELF” – OUT OCTOBER 10, 2025 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CODE ETERNAL UNLEASH NEW SINGLE “BRACE YOURSELF” – OUT OCTOBER 10, 2025


South Ostrobothnia, Finland – Progressive metal outfit Code Eternal are ready to ignite the scene once again with their explosive new single, “Brace Yourself,” arriving Friday, October 10, 2025 . The track marks the first taste of their long-awaited debut album , signaling a bold evolution in sound and ambition.

Fronted by guitarist prodigy Juho Ranta-Maunus , who stunned the world by winning Guitar World Magazine’s “Young Guitarist of the Year” at just 13 years old in 2020, Code Eternal have quickly built a reputation as one of Finland’s most promising metal acts. Formed in 2021, the band’s debut EP Sixth Wave (2022) turned heads across the prog community—and now, three years later, they’re back stronger, sharper, and more determined than ever.

“Brace Yourself” explores a chilling concept: the rise of artificial intelligence as a self-defending entity—questioning what happens when human creation turns against its maker. Musically, the track is a high-voltage fusion of progressive metal precision , crushing riffs , and funk-driven grooves , layered with pulsating synth textures that bring an urgent, futuristic edge.

“This track really shows where we’re heading as a band,” says Ranta-Maunus . “It’s heavy, complex, but also has a groove and energy that feels alive.”

With influences spanning Dream Theater , Symphony X , and Jelusick , Code Eternal’s sound blends jaw-dropping technical mastery with the soul and swagger of modern metal.

Mixed by Sami Silen (Sound Aces) and mastered by Acle Kahney (4D Sounds / Tesseract) , “Brace Yourself” showcases the band’s world-class production and performance chops.

Code Eternal Lineup:

Vocals – Teemu Dahlman

Guitars – Juho Ranta-Maunus

Bass – Aku Vuorela

Drums – Marlon Mäkelä

Keyboards – Matias Källi

Management: Rockhopper Agency

Brace Yourself drops October 10, 2025 , on all major streaming platforms. Get ready—the future of progressive metal has arrived.

🔥 Band of the Month – October 2025: Tooth & Dagger 🔥 - @thebeast

🔥 Band of the Month – October 2025: Tooth & Dagger 🔥

Birmingham’s own Tooth & Dagger have emerged victorious in our October Battle of the Bands, racking up a staggering 209,126 votes and claiming the crown as Band of the Month, October 2025 !

This five-piece alt-metal powerhouse isn’t here to play it safe. Tooth & Dagger are unpredictable, feral, and genre-blending , crafting a sound that’s equal parts thunderous and slick . Their music effortlessly fuses metal with dubstep, EDM, and funk , creating a sonic assault that’s as brutal as it is beautiful. Think Architects meets Bring Me The Horizon with a touch of Pendulum-style chaos —then add a layer of sharp, electrifying edge, and you’ve got T&D.

Their standout track, “Survive,” is a battle cry for anyone wrestling with their own demons. It’s about pushing through, making the conscious choice every single day to keep fighting , no matter how heavy the weight on your mind. It’s raw, relentless, and resonates with anyone who’s faced the internal struggle and refused to quit.

With their explosive live energy and fearless approach to pushing the boundaries of alt-metal, Tooth & Dagger are a band to watch—and worship—this fall.

Catch them in action, stream their music, and see why they earned 209,126 votes from fans who know true metal innovation when they hear it.

🎙️ Misfits Market, Raven Moonshine & The Art of the Underground — On The Zach Moonshine Show - @thebeast

🎙️ Misfits Market, Raven Moonshine & The Art of the Underground — On The Zach Moonshine Show


This past Friday night , we got together on The Zach Moonshine Show for one hell of a ride — hanging out with Jessica from Misfits Market and Raven Moonshine , my partner-in-crime and co-owner of Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest . What started as a few laughs and drinks turned into a real-deal deep dive into community, creativity, and how the world of oddities and metal continue to grow side by side here in Jackson, Tennessee .

As soon as the mics came on, it was pure Friday night energy.




“So it’s Friday night, and we’re sitting here having some drinks. Are you having some drinks, Jessica?”
“Oh yes — Miller High Life, the champagne of beers!”
“You gotta hold your pinky out when you drink it!”




The conversation rolled from there, touching on everything from skulls and preserved specimens to supporting local vendors and building an underground community that actually lasts.

Jessica talked about the Misfits Market Expo , an event that’s become a major hub for local artists, crafters, and creators who love the darker side of art.




“It’s more than just selling stuff,” she said. “It’s about connection — about bringing people together who love weird, beautiful things and giving them a space to share it.”




We also got into what’s coming next — Misfits Market Expo 2026 — and from what Jessica teased, it’s going to be bigger, louder, and stranger than ever. Every year, this event keeps pulling in new vendors, musicians, and fans who get that same underground thrill we live for in metal.

And of course, we talked about the big one — Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest , happening Saturday, October 11th . Misfits Market isn’t just showing up — they’re sponsoring and vending the fest again this year, bringing that creative spark right into the metal madness.

Raven summed it up perfectly:




“It’s about everyone lifting each other up — that’s what this whole scene is built on.”




That’s what makes it all worth it. Whether it’s music, art, or oddities — this community is built by people who aren’t afraid to create, to support, and to show up for each other.

If you missed the live broadcast, don’t worry — you can catch the full episode now on Mixcloud or right here on Metal Devastation Radio . Grab a drink, kick back, and get ready to celebrate the strange, the heavy, and the underground with us.

ABOUT TENNESSEE METAL DEVASTATION MUSIC FEST


Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest isn’t just a festival—it’s a battle cry. Born in defiance, the fest was forced out of Lexington, TN in its first year after being labeled “demonic” and a “threat to society.” Since then, religious groups and politicians have continued trying to shut it down, but every year, the fest returns stronger, louder, and prouder.

Unlike cookie-cutter festivals, Metal Devastation is built by the underground for the underground:

Every band is paid.

Every band keeps 100% of their merch.

Fans aren’t gouged with corporate ticket fees.

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s rebellion—backed by a soundtrack of pure heavy metal devastation.

🎟 Tickets available now:

Metal Devastation PR Bands Featured in Germany’s Legacy Magazine – Noxium Ferus, Monoliyth, Wrath of Belial, and Drudensang Spotlighted - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Metal Devastation PR Bands Featured in Germany’s Legacy Magazine – Noxium Ferus, Monoliyth, Wrath of Belial, and Drudensang Spotlighted

Metal Devastation PR is thrilled to announce a massive feature in Germany’s iconic Legacy Magazine , showcasing a deep dive into some of the most exciting acts in the underground metal scene. The issue includes an exclusive interview with Norwegian Black Metal visionaries Noxium Ferus , alongside in-depth reviews and features of Monoliyth , Wrath of Belial , and Drudensang .

Noxium Ferus – “The Urge To Attract All Power”


From the fjords of Norway, Noxium Ferus has been brewing a Black Metal experience that’s both primal and sophisticated. Their re-released debut, The Urge To Attract All Power , explores themes of Satanism, mythology, and human darkness through crushing riffs, ritualistic drumming, and an atmosphere that’s both cosmic and aggressive. Singer Expen Dyngen explains, “I want to bring the darkness of humanity to the world and say it’s okay to feel this way.” Fans can expect a uniquely crafted aesthetic, from the album artwork to the video for “Phallic Prize,” all realized in collaboration with the artist Falah.

Monoliyth – He Who Kills


Australian death metallers Monoliyth are making waves with their technical, Old School Death Metal concept album He Who Kills . Packed with crushing riffs, haunting vocals, and orchestrated instrumental passages, the album blends aggression with precision. The opener, “Rise of the Unhallowed,” sets the tone, while the title track delivers punishing hooks for die-hard Death Metal fans. 16 years in the making, He Who Kills is a bold evolution for the band, pushing technical prowess and narrative depth.

Wrath of Belial – Embers of Dead Empires


After eight years, Danish melodic death metallers Wrath of Belial return with Embers of Dead Empires , a brutal and melodic journey through decay and destruction. The album’s cover, designed by Idr Daemonorph, mirrors the themes explored within: grisliness, ruin, and merciless intensity. Tracks like “Dismantling Logos” and “The Devouring Mother” deliver relentless riffs, hammering drums, and haunting melodies, while the closing epic “Weight of the Transcendent” showcases the band’s full range of speed, aggression, and melodic mastery.

Drudensang – Geysterzvvang


Bavarian occultists Drudensang are redefining the concept of the “total work of art” in Black Metal with their MCD Geysterzvvang . Singer Krámpn explains that every element—visuals, lyrics, instrumentation, and live presentation—carries symbolic weight. “We don’t want to build a religion or a sacrificial altar; we want to stir up the offering fire,” he states. Drawing inspiration from Alpine mysticism, occult philosophy, and ritualistic presentation, Geysterzvvang fuses atmospheric Black Metal with profound thematic depth. The production, handled by Markus Werr of Folter Records, perfectly captures the band’s madness, magic, and passion.

This feature in Legacy Magazine also highlights legends such as Mille Petrozza (Kreator) on the cover, alongside articles on Pungent Stench, Amorphis, Paradise Lost, Moonspell , and more—demonstrating the magazine’s dedication to connecting underground metal to a broader audience.

Metal Devastation PR is committed to elevating underground metal bands, giving them visibility in major publications while preserving their artistic integrity.

YOUR LAST BREATH STRIKE BACK WITH CONTROVERSIAL NEW SINGLE + LYRIC VIDEO “BIGOT” FT. PAXTON GRIZZLE (BROJOB) - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

YOUR LAST BREATH STRIKE BACK WITH CONTROVERSIAL NEW SINGLE + LYRIC VIDEO “BIGOT” FT. PAXTON GRIZZLE (BROJOB)


MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Metalcore juggernauts Your Last Breath are back with their heaviest statement yet — the official lyric video for their blistering new single “Bigot” featuring Paxton Grizzle of Brojob , released September 25, 2025 . The track is now live on YouTube and streaming across all major platforms.

STREAM “BIGOT”:
👉
https://open.spotify.com/album/0YFp4R37rF2jtEYWtIGbVk />
Produced and engineered by Cody Pauly , “Bigot” is a venom-laced anthem that tears straight into the toxic hypocrisy of blind hate and prejudice. With Paxton Grizzle’s unhinged guest performance adding extra firepower, the track hits like a nail bomb — raw, relentless, and unapologetically in-your-face.




“This song is for every person who’s been dehumanized or dismissed by bigotry,” says the band. “We wanted to write something that doesn’t just punch back — it rips the mask off and exposes it for what it is. Having Paxton jump on this track made the message cut even deeper.”




The lyric video transforms that rage into a brutal visual experience — flashing words like weapons while the track pounds forward with punishing breakdowns, razor-sharp riffs, and visceral screams.

Formed in 2021 after guitarist/vocalist Dustan Cano survived a near-fatal battle with sepsis, Your Last Breath have been rising fast in the Midwest metalcore scene, known for fusing deathcore brutality with post-hardcore hooks. Now under Extreme Management Group, Inc. (home to Suffocation, Misery Index, and more), the band is pushing further than ever into uncharted extremes.

“Bigot” follows their recent single “All Bite” and continues to set the tone for a relentless new chapter in 2025. Fans of deathcore, hardcore, and extreme metal should consider this a warning shot — Your Last Breath are only getting started.

Why Heavy Metal Culture Reflects Sports Betting Mindsets - @thebeast

Heavy metal thrives through defiance, danger and sheer emotion; the ingredients that drive sports betting. When these two worlds meet, they find similarities like compelling thrall, devotion and camaraderie.

Sports betting and heavy metal may seem like alien worlds at first glance. One is built upon music, noise and anti-cultural revolt, the other upon odds, competition and outcomes. But scratch beneath the surface and they reflect an unmistakable culture of risk, revolt and return that has captivated millions of people all over the world.

Defying the Status Quo


Heavy metal music has never lacked for rebellion, with listeners and musicians alike defying mainstream sensibilities. Sports betting is no exception in that it is another defiance of the mundane. While mainstream sources of entertainment are often formulaic, putting down a sports bet represents a choice to engage differently with competition.

For many fans, this combination of music and betting is about more than pastime; it’s about breaking boundaries. Just as a heavy riff challenges the listener to feel something raw and powerful, placing a sport bet challenges fans to look beyond simple viewership and take part in the drama.

Both betting and heavy metal exude independence. They tend to appeal to those who enjoy going their own way more than doing something safe or normal.

Why Thrill-Seeking Appeals to Both Worlds


Adrenaline is one of the strongest connections between sports betting and heavy metal music. An electric concert hall with screaming guitars is reminiscent of the thrill of a crowded football stadium with screaming spectators awaiting the outcomes of a novel match. In either case, the heart is racing, the adrenalin is building up and each second is amplified.

The excitement of sports wagering adds another dimension to that experience. While the climax of the build-up to a musical solo is reached in dramatic release, the flow of a real game keeps its participants on the edge of their chairs. Thrills are intensified and the tension is moreish.

Music is thrilling to listen to. Betting gives people a physical element, an activity to do. Both of them intensify passion and bring experiences that become etched in memory.

Risk Taking as a Common Identity Trait


Risk is part of everything from hardcore culture to book-making. Musicians risk a bad performance each time they step up to the microphone or deliver an experimental track that does not fit the band's usual vibe. Their audience rewards that risk-taking with remuneration for non-conformity.

Sports bettors actually do something quite similar. Every sport bet has risk attached to it, yet that is also where the thrill exists. It’s not all about winning, it’s all about embracing the risks of  participation, recognizing that the fate is unknown yet fun either way.

It is that risk-taking spirit that unites the two crowds. It’s why metal heads prefer tough-around-the-edges to glossy pop. And it’s why bookies like the thrill of watching a close game. Both cultures celebrate bravery, surprise and the thrill.

Community and the Power of Belonging


Beside risk and adrenaline, sport betting and heavy metal music share the same powerful senses of belonging. Metalheads famously describe their events as more than concerts, they are experiences of belonging, with strangers coming together over collective excitement.

The same is true in betting circles. Whether it is among friends making a sport bet together or within virtual groups discussing odds and results, loyalty and camaraderie abound. Individuals unite in collective risks and in collective wins and losses. It builds up a culture of mutual encouragement and respect, in which the excitement is not only individualistic but communal.

Just as metalheads wear band tees and insignias to assert allegiance, sport bettors tend to affiliate with teams or games they support. That sense of identity forges cohesion and while doing so, enhances the experiences.

A Passionate and Prolific Culture


Both metalheads and gamblers share determination . Metal history is filled with stories of musicians facing disappointment, rejection, or criticism and yet coming out stronger. Metalheads admire that determination and model it in their own lives.

Betting on sport is much the same. While each bet for sport is risky, people return despite that riskiness for the love of the sport. It’s not return for return’s sake, it’s return for love.

From the exuberance of live concerts to the thrill of live game matches, two experiences are driven by passion. They enable individuals to feel alive, where every moment is precious and where rewards are neither merely in results nor just in the experience.

Two Worlds, One Spirit


Sports betting and thrash metal can be seen to coexist in disparate worlds, yet at their core, they meet in astonishingly similar ways. Both celebrate revolution over the quotidian, live off adrenaline, welcome risk and build vibrant communities through shared passions.  Whether at a sport bet or at a mosh pit, they all share the same exhilaration of soaring despite predictability and craving for indelible experiences. Both worlds together remind us that risk and passion create experiences that are as memorable as they are exhilarating.

Following on the heels of their recent single “The Serpent Within,” this new track dives deeper into the band’s heavy, sorrowful atmosphere while carrying a message of breaking free from inner torment and rising above personal demons.

“Oh, I’m bleeding, bleeding to be free
These voices inside, they won’t let go
Oh, I’m bleeding, bleeding to be free
The call of my devils, I’ll rise from my fall”




Backing him, Marco Marouco lays down massive guitar riffs, JP Ventura (also of Dawnrider ) drives punishing rhythms, and Toni Cagaita anchors the low end. The track is brought to life under the expert production of Paulão Vieira (The Limit, Ironsword, Midnight Priest).

Fans of Candlemass, Sorcerer, and Paradise Lost will once again find a dark home in ON THE LOOSE’s cathedral-sized riffs and mournful yet empowering soundscapes.

As Path to Serenity looms on the horizon, “The Call of My Devils” cements ON THE LOOSE as one of the most thrilling forces in underground doom. Meanwhile, JP Ventura’s band Dawnrider will soon embark on a European tour alongside Canadian metallers Icewar next week—giving fans plenty of heavy-hitting metal to look forward to.

Sonny Dai Unveil New Single & Visualizer “CENTER(peace)” – Out Today! - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sonny Dai Unveil New Single & Visualizer “CENTER(peace)” – Out Today!


Allentown, PA – October 1, 2025 — Alternative metal outfit Sonny Dai are back with a striking new release: the single and official visualizer for “CENTER(peace)” —out now on all major streaming platforms and YouTube. This powerful new track dives headfirst into themes of inner struggle, hidden pain, and the quiet desperation lurking beneath the surface, presenting one of the band’s most emotionally charged works to date.

Following the critical buzz of their recent EP The Arachnoid and their gritty single “Cosmetics,” “CENTER(peace)” marks a bold evolution in Sonny Dai’s sound—melding dark, brooding melodies with jagged alt-metal riffs and an undercurrent of cathartic intensity.




“This one’s about the stuff you hide from the world,” says frontman John. “The centerpiece you’re searching for inside yourself—the part that keeps you grounded—sometimes just isn’t there. And that’s a terrifying, vulnerable place to be. This song is about staring straight at that void.”




Lyrically, the track paints a haunting picture of concealed pain and internal erosion—lines like “Everything’s so fine / It’s non-existent on the outside” and “There’s no centerpiece to find / Inside your eyes” cut to the heart of the struggle between appearance and reality.

Fans of Chevelle, Helmet, Nirvana, and modern punk-driven alt-metal will find themselves immersed in the band’s signature mix of visceral emotion, thunderous rhythm, and jagged guitars—all elevated by the stark, cinematic visuals of the new official visualizer.
