EAST OV EDEN’S DEBUT ALBUM BOUNDLESS FEATURED BY MUSIC JUNKIE PRESS

Memphis, Tennessee based extreme metal outfit East Ov Eden continue building momentum following the release of their debut full-length album BOUNDLESS, now receiving praise from Music Junkie Press for the album’s crushing intensity, cinematic atmosphere, and fearless songwriting approach.

In their recent feature, Music Junkie Press described BOUNDLESS as “an absolute monster of a release,” highlighting the band’s seamless fusion of deathcore, technical death metal, orchestral arrangements, atmospheric melodies, and massive choruses.

The feature praised East Ov Eden for refusing to stay confined within genre boundaries, stating:

“One minute the album is crushing and chaotic, the next it shifts into cinematic layers and massive choruses. It honestly feels like they refused to put any limits on what this record could be.”

Music Junkie Press also noted the band’s ability to stand apart from modern extreme metal peers while still appealing to fans of All Shall Perish, Signs of the Swarm, and Cattle Decapitation.

Specific attention was given to standout tracks including “…TO A MOONLIT GARDEN” and “PERPETUAL HORROR” for their dynamic songwriting and atmosphere, while “SOULWEAVER” and “IT ENDS IN FEAR” were recognized for delivering relentless deathcore aggression and punishing breakdowns.

Since the release of BOUNDLESS, East Ov Eden have continued gaining traction throughout the underground metal scene with their explosive blend of brutality, technicality, and cinematic scope. The band has shared stages with artists including Vended, Filth, Inferi, Hunt The Dinosaur, Æther Realm, Ov Ruin, In Gloom, and more, while also appearing at the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest.

BOUNDLESS is available now on all major streaming platforms.

EAST OV EDEN UNLEASH DEBUT FULL LENGTH “BOUNDLESS” OUT NOW - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EAST OV EDEN UNLEASH DEBUT FULL LENGTH “BOUNDLESS” OUT NOW

A crushing yet cinematic fusion of deathcore, death metal, and orchestral intensity

Memphis, Tennessee heavyweights East Ov Eden have officially released their debut album BOUNDLESS , available now across all major streaming platforms. The record marks a bold and unrestrained first full length statement from a band rapidly carving out its own lane in the modern extreme metal landscape.

Blending deathcore brutality with death metal precision, cinematic orchestration, soaring choruses, and unpredictable technical shifts, BOUNDLESS lives up to its name in every sense. The album moves between blistering speed, groove-heavy punishment, and atmospheric melody, all while refusing to sit still long enough to be boxed in.

For fans of All Shall Perish , Signs of the Swarm , and Cattle Decapitation , East Ov Eden delivers a familiar level of intensity while pushing into more cinematic and experimental territory.

A DEBUT BUILT FROM CHAOS, REFINEMENT, AND EVOLUTION


Originally forming in late 2022 with roots in brutal technical death metal, East Ov Eden underwent rapid lineup shifts and a creative redirection that ultimately shaped their current identity. Rather than force a narrow approach, the band leaned into what felt most natural, resulting in a debut that is both aggressive and expansive.

Their 2023 single “MEPHISTOPHELES” laid the groundwork for what would become the sonic blueprint of BOUNDLESS , recorded, mixed, and mastered by Seger Rauls at Phoenix Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, with additional engineering by Hans Hasenwinkel.

A WIDE RANGE OF SOUND AND INFLUENCE


From orchestral swells and atmospheric synth layers to relentless riffing and breakdown-driven chaos, BOUNDLESS showcases the band’s full range. Tracks such as “…TO A MOONLIT GARDEN” and “PERPETUAL HORROR” highlight the album’s diversity, while deeper cuts like “SOULWEAVER” and “IT ENDS IN FEAR” lean heavily into the band’s deathcore and metalcore roots.

The result is a debut that doesn’t just introduce East Ov Eden, it announces them.

LIVE MOMENTUM AND SCENE PRESENCE


Throughout 2024 and 2025, East Ov Eden built serious momentum in the underground and regional metal circuit, sharing stages with Larcenia Roe, Filth, Vended, Frayle, Inferi, Hunt the Dinosaur, Æther Realm, Ov Ruin, In Gloom , and more. The band also appeared at major events including ShuttleMania and the 2025 Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Festival.

QUOTE FROM THE BAND


“ BOUNDLESS is exactly what it sounds like. We didn’t want limits on pace, style, or emotion. It’s heavy, it’s cinematic, it’s chaotic, and it’s honest. Every track hits a different nerve, but it all comes from the same place.”

Philojain’s “Duke at the Prom” – Peppy Djent Album Out Now - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Philojain’s “Duke at the Prom” – Peppy Djent Album Out Now


Release Date: August 10, 2025

India’s instrumental metal visionary Amit Jain, known as philojain , has officially dropped his latest full-length album, “Duke at the Prom” , now available worldwide.


https://ditto.fm/duke-at-the-prom

This record pushes forward his self-defined style, Peppy Djent , a high-energy fusion of djent, post-prog metal, and melodic experimentation. It’s tight, technical, and built with a groove-first mindset that still leaves room for unexpected turns and melodic lift-offs.

From crushing riff cycles to neon-bright lead work and sub-heavy low end, the album is designed for motion. Whether it’s gym sessions, long drives, gaming marathons, or just cranking speakers until the walls complain, this release hits with purpose.

Amit Jain on the release:
“Peppy Djent is a fresh attempt by me. I wanted an album that’s energetic, unpredictable, and melodic. Something that works for any moment where you want the music to hit hard and keep you locked in.”

About philojain


Based in Panchkula, India, Amit Jain has spent years building a deep catalog across rock, metal, and experimental music. With 18 albums released , his work is known for technical guitar precision, shifting rhythmic structures, and deep low-frequency design that gives his sound its weight and identity.

Everything on “Duke at the Prom” was produced, mixed, and mastered by Amit Jain himself, keeping the vision fully independent and uncompromised. The result is a record that feels controlled yet chaotic in all the right ways.

Playlist Feature


The album is also featured on a major Spotify playlist, helping push the release into wider rotation across the modern metal and djent community.

BITTER SIGN WITH CDN RECORDS AND RELEASE NEW SINGLE “MALEVOLENT” WITH OFFICIAL VIDEO - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BITTER SIGN WITH CDN RECORDS AND RELEASE NEW SINGLE “MALEVOLENT” WITH OFFICIAL VIDEO

Montreal, Quebec – May 12, 2026 – Quebec slamming beatdown deathcore outfit Bitter are kicking the door wide open with the announcement of their official signing to CDN Records, paired with the release of their brand new single “Malevolent” and its official music video.

No buildup, no warning, just impact.

“Malevolent” shows exactly where Bitter is headed. Heavy, ugly in all the right ways, and built on that sharp, chaotic energy the band has been carving out since forming in late 2024. This release also sets the tone for their upcoming EP Slamosaurus Rex, due later this year.

Watch the official video here:

ABOUT THE BAND

Bitter is a slamming beatdown deathcore band formed in December 2024, bringing together members from Montreal, Lanaudière, and Gatineau, Quebec. The project was founded by father and son Yan Chatel and Kilian Langlois-Chatel, later expanding into a full lineup built on chemistry, trust, and shared aggression.

Current lineup:
Kilian Langlois-Chatel – Lead Vocals
Michael Lalancette – Guitar and electronics
Mathieu Parent – Guitar
Eric Cooper-Lefebvre – Drums
Yan Chatel – Bass and backing vocals

Their sound pulls influence from Xenotheory, Kanine, and The Acacia Strain, but filters it through a darker, more sarcastic edge. Bitter leans into violent imagery and exaggerated metaphor, delivered with intent and control rather than chaos for chaos’ sake.

PRODUCTION

“Malevolent” was produced, mixed, and mastered by Michael Lalancette, giving the track its tight, crushing punch while keeping every layer of brutality clear in the mix.

THE ROAD AHEAD

With Slamosaurus Rex on the way and CDN Records now in their corner, Bitter are lining up for a heavy push through 2026. More releases, more noise, and no signs of slowing down.

This is just the beginning.

NOMADIC NARWHAL CHART DEEPER WATERS WITH NEW SINGLE “CALL OF THE CURRENT” OUT NOW - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOMADIC NARWHAL CHART DEEPER WATERS WITH NEW SINGLE “CALL OF THE CURRENT” OUT NOW

Cinematic Metal visionaries Nomadic Narwhal return with their most personal and stripped-down release to date, “Call of the Current,” out now via Seaborne Records. Blending Progressive Metal, Symphonic Metal, and Cinematic Rock textures, the new single marks a shift from oceanic mythology into raw emotional current.

Built for fans of Deftones, Max Cavalera, and Devin Townsend, Nomadic Narwhal continues to carve out its own lane in heavy music, a space where atmosphere, weight, and storytelling collide.

Following early breakout singles “Arrival” and “Monolith” in 2022, and the critically praised four-part release Fathoms, the project quickly gained attention from outlets like Loudwire and Decibel, earning recognition for shaping what many began calling Cinematic Metal. But “Call of the Current” pulls things inward.

Nomadic Narwhal founder Jesse Beisner explains the shift in tone plainly.

“I wrote how I wanted to feel. Sometimes you just need to write to get through some things.”

Unlike earlier releases built around vast oceanic themes and conceptual scale, “Call of the Current” leans into something more immediate and human. It is self-produced, emotionally direct, and intentionally unpolished in spirit. Even the name came from fans, and the artwork was hand painted, reinforcing the DIY ethos behind the project.

Beisner adds, “The one with the feelings.”

This is Nomadic Narwhal at its most exposed, trading mythic scale for something closer to the surface, where emotion hits harder and lingers longer.

Release Details

Artist: Nomadic Narwhal
Title: Call of the Current
Release Date: Out Now
Genre: Cinematic Metal, Progressive Metal, Progressive Rock, Symphonic Metal
Label: Seaborne Records
Produced by: Jesse Beisner (Self-Produced)

About Nomadic Narwhal

Nomadic Narwhal is a symphonic and cinematic metal project inspired by the mystique and power of Earth’s oceans. Emerging in 2022 with “Arrival” and “Monolith,” the project quickly built a global following of music and ocean enthusiasts. Their early work and subsequent Fathoms release established them as a unique voice in modern heavy music, blending cinematic atmosphere with progressive heaviness and emotional depth.
