Watch the official video for “Vegan” below.
Israel - Emerging from the underground with intensity, purpose, and zero compromise, one-woman force Nicarus has unleashed her new EP, “Degree Of Doneness,” via GreenMuzic. Alongside the release comes the official music video for “Vegan,” one of the standout tracks from the new EP.
Blending post-grunge grit, stoner rock weight, blackened atmosphere, and alternative edge, Nicarus continues to carve out her own lane with a sound that is as unpredictable as it is deeply personal. Fans of Neurosis, Deftones, and Foo Fighters may find familiar territory here, but Nicarus has created something unmistakably her own.
At its core, “Degree Of Doneness” is a reflection of pressure, survival, transformation, and the reality of living through turbulent times. It is heavy, honest, and unapologetically raw. This is music that hits straight in the chest and lingers long after the final note fades.
“VEGAN” OFFICIAL VIDEO
The new official video for “Vegan” brings another dimension to the EP, giving listeners a visual entry point into the world Nicarus has created with “Degree Of Doneness.”
The track and video are part of a larger body of work born from an intensely personal and immediate creative process. Rather than chasing trends or following a predetermined formula, Nicarus embraces the raw emotion and urgency that have become central to her music.
Watch “Vegan” and experience Nicarus’ latest sonic assault for yourself.
ONE WOMAN. ONE VISION. ZERO SHORTCUTS.
Nicarus isn’t simply another studio project. She is a fully independent artist who has been building her vision since 2017, handling every aspect of her work from writing and performing to producing and engineering.
Her journey has taken her across the globe, including recording drums at Electrical Audio in Chicago with Sanford Parker and sessions at Urban Sound Studio in Norway, while continuing to develop her sound in her own GreenLab studio in Israel.
And she doesn't stop at recording.
Nicarus also performs her material live as a complete one-woman band , armed with full gear and amplifiers. Her unique “Re-Amping” live show brings the same DIY spirit and controlled chaos to the stage. No backing band. No shortcuts. Just real amps, real instruments, and real energy.
MUSIC FORGED IN A TIME OF WAR
“Degree Of Doneness” was written in just three days during a time of war in Nicarus’ home country. That sense of urgency is woven throughout the EP.
One of the tracks also incorporates a Persian poem as a tribute to the Iranian people and culture, using music as a way to push back against division and create a space for connection through art and expression.
As one early statement about Nicarus’ music puts it:
“Nicarus creates music that doesn't just ask to be heard, it demands to be felt.”
That spirit runs throughout “Degree Of Doneness.” The EP captures vulnerability, urgency, resilience, transformation, and the courage to stand fully in your truth.
With “Degree Of Doneness,” Nicarus proves she isn't here to follow trends or play it safe. She is here to build something real, something loud, and something that matters.
“Degree Of Doneness” is out now via GreenMuzic.

TONY IOMMI Shares Behind-The-Scenes Footage From Making Of 'World Alone' Music Video - @thebeast
Legendary BLACK SABBATH guitarist Tony Iommi has given fans a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the music video for "World Alone," the first single from his highly anticipated third solo album, From The Dark .
Iommi shared footage from the video shoot on August 24, offering fans a glimpse into the production behind the song's dark, futuristic visual presentation.
From The Dark is scheduled for release on October 23 via BMG and marks Iommi's first full-length solo album since 2005's Fused .
"World Alone" originally premiered on July 29 during a special global streaming event held in Iommi's hometown of Birmingham, England. The event took place near the famous Black Sabbath Bridge, which was opened in 2019 as a civic tribute to the pioneering heavy metal band.
Musically, "World Alone" is a full-throttle showcase of Iommi's unmistakable guitar work, combining crushing riffs, soaring solos and a driving rhythm section with the powerful vocals of acclaimed Norwegian singer Jorn Lande .
The accompanying music video takes things into a decidedly dystopian direction. The story unfolds in a retro-futuristic universe in which a character known as The Believer is thrown into a twisted video game where he must fight to survive and ultimately find salvation.
For Iommi, the project represents another chapter in a remarkable solo career that has continued to evolve while remaining firmly rooted in the heavy guitar sound he helped create.
On From The Dark , Iommi is joined throughout the album by Lande, who also shares songwriting credits on every track. The lineup is rounded out by bassist Becky Baldwin and drummer Karl Brazil .
The album was co-produced by Iommi and longtime collaborator Mike Exeter , who has worked with the guitarist extensively over the years.
Iommi previously described the album simply and confidently: "It's an album we've really enjoyed making. We're not trying to prove anything — it's a great album, it rocks!"
The eight-song main album opens with "Over The Violent Sun," built around a classic down-tuned Iommi riff and Lande's commanding vocals. From there, From The Dark moves through a series of heavy, atmospheric and increasingly dramatic tracks.
"Black Times" delivers another hard-hitting assault before "World Alone" kicks the album into high gear. "Beyond The Dead" shifts the mood with a darker, more orchestral approach, while "Stormwatcher" and "Death Wake" explore more expansive territory.
The album closes with "Return Of The Arbalist" and the epic "Legacy."
Lyrically, Lande's contributions explore themes of mortality, isolation, humanity and the uncertain nature of existence, with dystopian imagery appearing throughout the record.
A limited-edition seven-inch single of "World Alone," backed by an instrumental version of the song, is scheduled for release on September 4 . The single will be housed in a deluxe foiled sleeve. "World Alone" will also be featured on the Gibson learn-to-play-guitar app.
From The Dark will be released in multiple deluxe vinyl and CD formats, including a double-LP edition pressed in four different colors. The album will be cut at 45 RPM and packaged in a deluxe gatefold sleeve featuring Iommi's signature cross design.
The deluxe CD edition will feature two bonus tracks: "Scent Of Dark" and an extended version of "Deified."
From The Dark Deluxe CD Track Listing:
Over The Violent Sun
Black Times
World Alone
Beyond The Dead
Stormwatcher
Death Wake
Return Of The Arbalist
Legacy
Scent Of Dark (exclusive bonus track)
Deified (extended version, exclusive bonus track)
The new album also connects to several pieces of Iommi's recent musical work. "Scent Of Dark," released in 2021, marked Iommi's first new music in eight years at the time and arrived alongside a fragrance created through his collaboration with perfumer and guitarist Sergio Momo of Xerjoff.
"Deified" followed in 2024 and reunited Iommi with Exeter. The recording featured Laurence Cottle on bass, Karl Brazil on drums and orchestral arrangements by Ben Andrews.
Iommi has previously revealed that he has an enormous collection of unused musical ideas, telling fans that he had "four or five hundred" riffs stored on his phone that could potentially be developed for future projects.
His solo catalog began with the 2000 album Iommi , which featured an extraordinary collection of guest vocalists and musicians, including Billy Corgan , Dave Grohl , Phil Anselmo , Henry Rollins , Serj Tankian , Skin , Peter Steele and Ian Astbury .
Iommi followed that album with 2005's Fused , which featured former DEEP PURPLE vocalist and bassist Glenn Hughes and drummer Kenny Aronoff .
Of course, Iommi's greatest musical legacy remains BLACK SABBATH .
As the band's founding guitarist and primary composer, Iommi is widely regarded as one of the architects of heavy metal. His distinctive riffs and dark, down-tuned guitar sound became one of the defining musical signatures of the genre.
The guitarist's unique approach was born in part from tragedy. As a teenager, Iommi suffered an industrial accident that resulted in the loss of the tips of two fingers on his right hand. Rather than abandoning music, he adapted his technique and developed the playing style that would ultimately become one of the most recognizable sounds in rock history.
Alongside Ozzy Osbourne , Geezer Butler and Bill Ward , Iommi helped launch BLACK SABBATH and establish the foundation for an entire musical movement.
His career has since included multiple Grammy Awards, Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame recognition, honorary academic distinctions and numerous civic honors. Most recently, in June 2026, Iommi was awarded an MBE , one of the United Kingdom's highest public honors.
Iommi has also continued pushing beyond traditional rock music. In 2023, he collaborated with the Birmingham Royal Ballet on Black Sabbath - The Ballet , a production inspired by his compositions and the band's legacy.
In 2025, BLACK SABBATH returned to Birmingham for the monumental "Back To The Beginning" concert, which served as the band's farewell celebration and brought together an enormous lineup of rock and metal legends.
The event would become especially poignant following the death of Ozzy Osbourne just weeks later.
Now, as Iommi prepares to release From The Dark , the guitarist is once again turning his attention toward the music itself.
And judging by the crushing riffs of "World Alone," Tony Iommi still has plenty of fire left in the furnace.
The man who helped invent heavy metal isn't finished yet.

STARVED OF LIGHT RELEASE NEW SINGLE “WANDER THE HOLLER” - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STARVED OF LIGHT RELEASE NEW SINGLE “WANDER THE HOLLER”
Atlanta Melodic Technical Death Metal Force Follows “Cut Into Moonlight” With a Dark, Relentless New Track
Atlanta melodic technical death metal outfit Starved of Light is back with another crushing new single. Following the recent release of “Cut Into Moonlight,” the band has unleashed “Wander the Holler,” now available on Bandcamp.
Listen to “Wander the Holler” on Bandcamp:
https://starvedoflight.bandcamp.com/track/wander-the-holler
“Wander the Holler” continues Starved of Light’s rapidly developing sonic assault, combining punishing technical death metal riffing with melodic passages, aggressive rhythms, and an atmosphere steeped in darkness. The new track further establishes the band as one of Atlanta’s rising forces in the modern extreme metal underground.
The release arrives on the heels of “Cut Into Moonlight,” a single that showcased the band's ability to balance razor-sharp musicianship with emotionally charged songwriting. Produced, mixed, and mastered by Josh Curl at True Fiction Audio , the band's latest material demonstrates a clear evolution from their debut full-length, Into Early Mourning , released through Dark Sails Entertainment.
Fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Job for a Cowboy, and Revocation will find plenty to sink their teeth into, but Starved of Light are quickly carving out an identity of their own through a combination of melodic intensity, technical precision, crushing riffs, and raw emotional weight.
ABOUT STARVED OF LIGHT
Formed in late 2024, Starved of Light brings together four veterans of Atlanta's extreme metal scene:
Tim Jones – Vocals
Leaf Blower, All American Organ Grinder
Josh Kerston – Guitars
Burning Palace, Abattoir
Robbie Cook – Drums
All American Organ Grinder, Abattoir
Elliott Stotler – Bass
Coat Hanger Abortion, Abattoir
Drawing from years of experience in the underground, Starved of Light combine melodic intensity, technical mastery, and emotionally driven songwriting into a sound that is both ferocious and unforgettable.
WHAT'S NEXT
With “Wander the Holler” now available and “Cut Into Moonlight” continuing to gain momentum, Starved of Light are setting their sights on the next chapter. The band is continuing to work on new material while preparing to bring its devastating live performance to audiences.
More music, videos, and live announcements are expected in the months ahead.

MEGATON COMMUNION RELEASE NEW OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “ECHOES IN TIME” - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MEGATON COMMUNION RELEASE NEW OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “ECHOES IN TIME”
Cleveland Heavy Rock Trio Unveil Atmospheric New Video From Upcoming Album Three of Cups
Cleveland, Ohio heavy rock trio Megaton Communion have released their brand-new official music video for “Echoes in Time,” available now. The track comes from the band's upcoming album, Three of Cups , due September 11, 2026 via Black Doomba Records .
“Echoes in Time” explores memory, distance, loss, hope, and the uneasy feeling of watching the past slowly drift further away. The song moves through reflections on days gone by and relationships that may no longer exist as they once did, ultimately arriving at a choice between holding onto hope or surrendering to the darkness.
With lyrics centered around fleeting memories, uncertainty, and the possibility of another day, the track showcases a more introspective side of Megaton Communion while retaining the band's signature weight and groove.
“A glimpse of hope for another day
A glimpse of pain don't want to stay
A ray of light all around
Or sit in darkness without a sound”
Musically, “Echoes in Time” combines massive hard rock riffs, hypnotic rhythms, desert-rock atmosphere, and melodic songwriting , creating a sound that feels both heavy and expansive. Fans of Soundgarden, Kyuss, Queens of the Stone Age, and Tool will find plenty to sink their teeth into.
The new video arrives as Megaton Communion continue building momentum toward the release of Three of Cups . The album's first single, “Evil Speak,” was released July 24 and introduced listeners to the band's latest chapter, while Three of Cups expands upon that foundation with a collection of songs centered around resilience, growth, friendship, and overcoming adversity.
Formed in late 2022 by lifelong friends Derrick (guitar), Ryan (drums), and Joe (bass/vocals) , Megaton Communion quickly established themselves within Cleveland's underground rock scene through dynamic songwriting and immersive live performances. Following Ryan's departure in March 2025, Ken Gosselin joined the band on drums, bringing renewed energy to the lineup.
Three of Cups was produced by Curran Murphy at Custom Audio Mutation Studio , where the band shaped their latest material into a powerful and emotionally resonant full-length.
With “Echoes in Time,” Megaton Communion offer another glimpse into an album that refuses to stay locked inside one particular corner of heavy music. Dark, melodic, atmospheric, and driven by huge riffs, Three of Cups is shaping up to be a defining release for the Cleveland trio.

Death Has Spoken Announce First-Ever Vinyl Release of Elegy - @thebeast
Death Has Spoken Announce First-Ever Vinyl Release of Elegy
Polish death-doom metal band Death Has Spoken will release their third full-length album, Elegy , on 180g black vinyl for the first time on September 11, 2026, through Meuse Music Records. Limited to just 200 copies worldwide, the release marks the band's first-ever vinyl edition.
Almost one year after Elegy originally arrived on CD and digital platforms, Death Has Spoken are bringing the album to vinyl, a format that feels particularly suited to the record's crushing weight, melancholic atmosphere and immersive songwriting.
Originally released in October 2025, Elegy serves as the final chapter in a trilogy that began with the band's debut album Fade . Across seven original compositions, Death Has Spoken explore themes of mortality, loss and the unknown, blending crushing death-doom heaviness with atmospheric passages and deeply melancholic melodies.
For collectors and fans of physical releases, the new edition has been given special attention. The 180g black vinyl includes the album's original artwork, a full-size lyric insert and a band photo. Mastering duties were handled by Greg Chandler of legendary UK doom metal outfit Esoteric at Priory Recording Studios in Birmingham, England.
The vinyl edition also features a slight difference from the original CD and digital versions of Elegy . To preserve the best possible sound quality throughout the vinyl's running time, the release contains only the seven original Elegy tracks. The Agalloch cover featured on the CD and digital editions has been omitted from the vinyl pressing.
With only 200 copies being pressed worldwide , the release is set to become a highly collectible addition to the Death Has Spoken catalog.
The Elegy vinyl will be available through the Meuse Music Records store , Death Has Spoken's Bandcamp page , and directly from the band at live shows.
To celebrate the release, Death Has Spoken will also perform two special concerts in Poland:
September 11, 2026
Sześcian, Białystok, Poland
September 12, 2026
VooDoo Club, Warsaw, Poland
For fans who have followed Death Has Spoken through the Fade trilogy, the arrival of Elegy on vinyl offers a chance to experience the trilogy's final chapter in a definitive physical format. And with only 200 copies available, this is one of those releases where waiting until later probably isn't the smartest move.
