FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Casket Kids Unleash “Through Death,” A Blood Soaked Blend Of Metal, Hardcore, And Punk From Upcoming Album Black Miasma

Huntsville, AL – April 24, 2026 – Huntsville’s own underground horror merchants The Casket Kids return with a brand new slab of chaos titled “Through Death,” the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming album Black Miasma.

This time around, the band digs even deeper into the dark side of myth and consequence, delivering a track that warns of the horrors of necromancy, the price of forbidden rites, and what happens when the dead do not stay quiet.

“Through Death” is a fierce fusion of metal, hardcore, and punk energy, built for fans who like their music raw, loud, and a little dangerous. It is the kind of track that does not just play in your speakers, it crawls around in your head after.

“Through Death, They Live!”


That is the band’s own chilling declaration behind the single, and it sets the tone perfectly for what The Casket Kids are building with Black Miasma .

The band continues to sharpen their identity with a sound that pulls from old-school rebellion and horror soaked theatrics, carving out a lane that feels both familiar and twisted in all the right ways.

FFO: The Misfits , Ramones , Black Flag , Pentagram

ABOUT THE BAND


The Casket Kids are:
Christian Youngblood on vocals
Paul “Tokin” Dupont on guitar
Johnny “Decay” Perna on bass
Brennan “Pepper” Persing on drums

Born out of the Huntsville underground, the band has already carved a reputation for blending horror imagery with punk attitude and heavy hitting metal aggression. Their debut album SHI opened the door. Black Miasma looks like the one kicking it off the hinges.

Produced with the same raw intensity that defines their sound, The Casket Kids continue pushing forward without cleaning anything up for comfort. This is grit, distortion, and storytelling with teeth.

LISTEN


“Through Death” is available now on all major streaming platforms

FALSE MESSIAH RETURNS WITH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “SHADOWS OF FAITH” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


FALSE MESSIAH RETURNS WITH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “SHADOWS OF FAITH”

False Messiah keeps building their dark symphonic world with the release of “Shadows of Faith” , arriving April 22nd, 2026!

False Messiah is a cinematic symphonic dark metal collective known for fusing orchestral drama with modern heavy production and dystopian storytelling. This new single continues the unfolding narrative from previous releases like Iron Sky and Rise of the Seven , all leading toward the upcoming full-length album Seven , due June 19 via Semetery Records.

“Shadows of Faith” digs deeper into the psychological fallout of collapse and betrayal. As belief systems fracture and symbols lose their weight, the track turns inward, exploring how conviction survives when everything familiar falls apart. It is heavy, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, carrying that signature cinematic weight the band has been carving out since day one.

Think sweeping orchestration colliding with modern metal aggression, wrapped in a story that feels both mythic and uncomfortably human.

FOR FANS OF: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Lord of the Lost, Epica, In This Moment

GENRES: Cinematic Metal, Symphonic Metal, Dark Metal, Gothic Thrash, Heavy Metal, Emo Nu Metal

This is not just another release. It is another fracture in the system.

Evil Age Return with Crushing New Single “Demon Grip” – Video Premieres May 5, 2026 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Evil Age Return with Crushing New Single “Demon Grip” – Video Premieres May 5, 2026

Niagara Escarpment – There’s no easing into this one. Evil Age are back, and they’re coming in swinging. Fresh off their signing with CDN Records, the band unleashes their latest single, “Demon Grip,” a vicious descent into the darker corners of the human mind.

Where their debut established the tone, “Demon Grip” digs deeper and hits harder. This track is all about letting the wrong forces take hold. It explores what happens when you feed the negative, obsess over destructive thoughts, and slowly shut out anything good trying to break through. It’s not subtle. It’s not pretty. It’s a full-on psychological spiral set to bone-crushing riffs and relentless aggression.

Evil Age continue to carve out their identity with a sound that feels ancient and hostile, blending suffocating heaviness with feral speed. This isn’t just music you throw on in the background. It’s something that drags you under and makes you sit in it.

Lyrically, “Demon Grip” paints a bleak picture of transformation. Over time, the damage builds. The person you were fades out. What’s left is something colder, something unrecognizable. A shell overtaken by something you willingly let in. That’s the hook right there. This isn’t possession forced on you. It’s invited. And once it’s got you, it doesn’t let go.

The official video for “Demon Grip” premieres May 5, 2026, and if it matches the intensity of the track, it’s going to leave a mark.



CDN Records continues to back artists that don’t play it safe, and Evil Age fit that mold perfectly. No trends, no compromises. Just raw, punishing metal with something to say, even if it’s staring straight into the abyss.

Stay locked in. This is just the next chapter, and it’s already getting darker.

KÜNTSQUÄD Unleash Banned and Uncensored Video “Piss N Purge” A Savage, Satirical Gut-Punch from Satan’s Cock - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KÜNTSQUÄD Unleash Banned and Uncensored Video “Piss N Purge”
A Savage, Satirical Gut-Punch from Satan’s Cock

Melbourne, Australia – If subtlety is your thing, turn back now. KÜNTSQUÄD are kicking the door clean off with their latest visual assault, the banned and uncensored video for “Piss N Purge.” Pulled from their notorious full-length Satan’s Cock , the clip arrives as the second entry in a series of five videos already deemed too extreme for standard streaming platforms. Naturally, that just makes it hit harder.

Watch “Piss N Purge” (Uncensored Official Video):


Originally flagged and forced into censorship for mainstream outlets, “Piss N Purge” stands as one of the band’s most confrontational pieces to date. Beneath the chaos, there’s a razor-sharp message. The track tears into the normalization of excess, dragging humanity’s obsession with disposable consumption into the spotlight and smashing it to pieces.

This isn’t just about drugs or reckless living. KÜNTSQUÄD zoom out and take aim at the bigger machine. The same mindset that fuels self-destruction on a personal level also feeds a wider system built on greed, class warfare, and the expendability of human life. Acquisition, consumption, domination… all sold as necessary. The end result is always the same: someone gets purged.

And yeah, they make it ugly on purpose.

Visually, the clip leans hard into grotesque humor and raw, unfiltered imagery. It’s the kind of thing that’ll make some people laugh, others squirm, and a few slam the laptop shut. The “rockstar lifestyle” gets dragged through the mud and left there, exposing the absurdity of it all through a lens that’s equal parts satire and straight-up filth.

Musically, it’s everything you expect from KÜNTSQUÄD and then some. Filthy, down-tuned riffs. D-beat fury. And Paula VC Damnzal delivering vocals like a possessed preacher at the end of the world. It’s loud, fast, and hits like a bar fight you didn’t see coming.

For those playing it safe, a censored version is available via the band’s official YouTube channel. For everyone else, the uncensored cut is where the real damage gets done.

STREAM THE ALBUM — Satan’s Cock:

https://orcd.co/scalbum />
Already stirring up controversy across the underground, Satan’s Cock continues to earn praise for its unapologetic extremity, even landing the top spot on Sentinel Daily’s Top 30 Chart. Love it or hate it, it’s not going quietly.

HÖWLER Drop Ferocious New Single “Rotten Cortex” Ahead of Upcoming Album Beyond Mortal Control - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HÖWLER Drop Ferocious New Single “Rotten Cortex” Ahead of Upcoming Album Beyond Mortal Control

San José, Costa Rica – Thrash metal powerhouse Höwler are back with another crushing preview of their upcoming full-length album Beyond Mortal Control , set for worldwide release on May 8, 2026 via CDN Records.

The band has just unleashed their second single, “Rotten Cortex,” a blistering assault that dives deep into psychological domination and internal corruption. The track explores the idea of a hidden puppeteer, the force lurking within that seizes control and bends reality to its will. Fast, sharp, and absolutely unforgiving, “Rotten Cortex” shows Höwler operating at peak intensity.

Formed in 2009, Höwler have built their name on a no-nonsense blend of old school thrash aggression and surgical precision. Over the years, they’ve dominated stages across Latin America alongside heavy hitters like D.R.I., Whiplash, Angelus Apatrida, Destruction, Destroyer 666, and Malón.

With four full-length albums already under their belt— Back to Madness (2014), Fallen But Not Forgotten (2018), No More Circus (2020), and Descendants of Evil (2022)—the band continues to evolve without losing that raw, neck-snapping edge.

Now reloaded as a tighter, more focused three-piece, Höwler have sharpened their sound into something darker, leaner, and far more dangerous. Beyond Mortal Control is shaping up to be their most aggressive and technically refined release yet, and “Rotten Cortex” is proof they’re not holding anything back.

The album’s artwork was created by acclaimed artist Andrei Bouzikov, with logo and title design handled by MR WOLF, locking in the visual identity of this new era.

Beyond Mortal Control will be released worldwide on May 8, 2026 via CDN Records on CD and vinyl.

About Höwler
Höwler is a Costa Rican thrash metal band forged in 2009, delivering an uncompromising mix of old school aggression and precision musicianship.
