Blending medieval warfare imagery with their signature melodic death-metal sound, SELIAS turns history into a brutal, cinematic vision. “Cautionary Tale” tells a story of clashing steel, betrayal, and the unforgiving lessons that history repeats — a raven’s call of conflict echoing across centuries, now amplified through relentless riffs, soaring melodies, and punishing rhythms.

ARANDA DROPS NEW SINGLE “YOU DON’T WANNA KNOW” — OUT NOW - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARANDA DROPS NEW SINGLE “YOU DON’T WANNA KNOW” — OUT NOW


https://hypeddit.com/aranda/youdontwannaknow">
https://hypeddit.com/aranda/youdontwannaknow

Oklahoma City hard rock veterans Aranda return with “You Don’t Wanna Know” , a brooding and hook-loaded new single released November 28, 2025 via Astonish Entertainment LLC . Built on towering vocals, emotional punch, and melodic grit, the track lands firmly in the lane for fans of Nothing More, Shinedown, Bad Omens, Foo Fighters, and Pop Evil .

After more than two decades of touring, charting, surviving label shakeups, and turning setbacks into fuel, the Aranda brothers are still pushing forward instead of coasting on nostalgia. “You Don’t Wanna Know” makes that point loud and clear. The song digs into self-doubt, broken trust, and the fear that love won’t survive your own worst traits.




“‘You Don’t Wanna Know’ is a song about being broken to the point that you don't trust anyone to love you past your mistakes in life, but when someone actually does stay, you ask the question of why would you stay after everything I am and have done?” says Dameon Aranda .




The single follows the band’s 2025 collaboration “Punch Out” with A.D.A.M. Music Project , which climbed to #33 on Active Rock radio , extending Aranda’s run of seven Top 40 active rock singles that kicked off back in 2008 with their breakthrough debut. That record delivered “Still in the Dark” and “Whyyawannabringmedown,” the latter famously re-cut by Kelly Clarkson for her platinum album All I Ever Wanted and used as the theme for WWE’s The Bash .

Signing to Wind-up Records, the band hit a commercial high point with Stop the World (2012) , landing three Top 40 singles — “Undone,” “Satisfied,” and “One More Lie” —plus a RadioContraband Indie Artist of the Year nomination . They followed with Not the Same (2015) which debuted at #12 on Billboard’s Heatseekers and earned two more charting singles. Aranda kept their foot on the gas independently with Recollections of a Painted Year (2022) and their 2025 touring cycle.

Road Tested and Battle Proven


True to form, Aranda continues to build their career the old-fashioned way: on the road. The band has shared the stage with Buckcherry, Sevendust, Saving Abel, Theory of a Deadman, Daughtry, 3 Doors Down, Halestorm, Shinedown, Staind, Papa Roach, Stone Temple Pilots , and more while hitting festivals like Rocklahoma (2010) and Rock on the Range (2016) .

To close out 2025 rolling into 2026, Aranda joins The Founder and A.D.A.M. Music Project for a short run of U.S. dates:

2026 Tour Dates
• January 15 — Dallas, TX — RBC
• January 16 — Wichita, KS — Wave
• January 18 — Oklahoma City, OK — Beer City Music Hall

Metal Hammer & Louder Name Distant’s “Nothing Left To Hate” One of the Best New Metal Songs You Need to Hear - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Metal Hammer & Louder Name Distant’s “Nothing Left To Hate” One of the Best New Metal Songs You Need to Hear

Dutch/Slovakian deathcore bruisers Distant are turning heads with their ferocious new single, Nothing Left To Hate , out now via Century Media Records . The track has already earned major acclaim, landing on Metal Hammer and Louder’s lists of the best new metal songs right now—a massive nod to the band’s raw, relentless sound.

"2025 was a seriously big year for deathcore, and 2026 already looks like it'll keep the momentum up. Distant kick things off with the utterly feral Nothing Left To Hate, a track that walks away from modern deathcore's high-end production to get back to the genre's gritty, gruesome roots, pig squeals and all," says Metal Hammer .

The single marks a return to deathcore’s unpolished, brutal essence, packed with crushing riffs, relentless drumming, and guttural vocals that leave no room for compromise. Fans looking for intensity, aggression, and pure chaos will find it all here.

Distant will also be hitting the road in the UK and EU opening for Sylosis , bringing their feral live energy directly to audiences across the continent.

Stream “Nothing Left To Hate” now via Century Media Records and experience the raw power of Distant.

The band comments:
“‘Nothing Left To Hate’ is DISTANT at full destructive force. Thicker riffs, deeper grooves, and a raw dive into self-destruction and chaos. This track is built for circle pits, rage workouts, and letting the anger out.”

The release lands just days before DISTANT hit the road with Sylosis for a massive European tour beginning January 16, putting the band in front of thousands of new fans across the continent. The momentum follows an already relentless run, including the Evisceratour across the USA and Canada with Ingested and Ov Sulfur , plus their own Dutch Xmas Special supporting the local scene.

DISTANT have become one of the defining forces in modern European deathcore. Blending brutal death metal, slam, noise, and beatdown with a hyper-dissonant atmosphere of impending doom, the band has evolved far beyond their early metalcore roots formed among friends in Rotterdam and Bratislava. What remains is pure sonic annihilation, refined and weaponized.

BRAVEWORDS FEATURES BABYLON AD’S NEW VIDEO “POWER OF MUSIC” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BRAVEWORDS FEATURES BABYLON AD’S NEW VIDEO “POWER OF MUSIC”

Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that Bravewords has spotlighted the latest music video from veteran hard rock outfit Babylon AD . The feature highlights the band’s new single “Power Of Music,” taken from their sixth studio album When The World Stops , released September 3, 2025 through Kivel Records and Apocalypse Records .

Written by vocalist and songwriter Derek Davis , “Power Of Music” pays tribute to the artists and genres that shaped him coming up, from Motown and early blues pioneers to the classic and arena rock bands that defined his generation. Musically, the track hits with a melodic high-energy drive while staying true to Babylon AD’s established hard rock grit.

The accompanying video intercuts live shots of the band with archival performance footage from influential artists across decades, reinforcing the single’s theme and title.

Formed in 1987 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Babylon AD originally operated under the name The Persuaders before signing to Arista Records under legendary music executive Clive Davis . Their gold-certified self-titled debut (1990) produced MTV staples “Bang Go The Bells” and “The Kid Goes Wild,” the latter appearing in promotions for RoboCop 2 .

Following the release of their 2024 album Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day , Babylon AD returned to steady touring across the US, UK, and Greece, pushing new momentum for the long-running Bay Area outfit and reaffirming their place among hard rock’s most road-tested survivors.

The Bravewords feature marks another strong media response for the band as they continue supporting When The World Stops .

ARCHFIEND ANNOUNCES NEW CONCEPT ALBUM “LOST FOREVER” OUT NOW! - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ARCHFIEND ANNOUNCES NEW CONCEPT ALBUM “LOST FOREVER” OUT NOW!

Midwestern metal outfit Archfiend released its latest album Lost Forever on December 19, 2025 , delivering a hard-driving blend of classic Metal and Hard Rock that nods to legends like Metallica , Megadeth , and Iron Maiden while tackling a story heavier than any riff.

On first spin, Lost Forever comes across as a good-time, fist-in-the-air metal record. But beneath the shredding and hooks lies a concept album centered on the grim realities of human trafficking , tied together through a chapter-based narrative and accompanying visual content.

Frontman Brian Lee sums it up in a way that cuts straight through the noise




“It sounds like a good time hard-driving album when you first listen to it, but then you listen and watch the videos that go along with the album. This album is a concept album about human trafficking. There is a story that plays along with each chapter then you realize this is an album. You can cry too.”




The visual chapters are handled through CGI animation, offering an unusual combo of storytelling and sonic force that doesn’t let listeners (or viewers) off the hook.

No label. No management. No safety net. Archfiend is rolling this release out the old-school way, relying on the strength of the work and word of mouth from the metal community.

Production Credits


Produced and recorded by: Paul Schroeder at Megatons Studio (Madison, Wisconsin)

CGI Animation and Direction: Michael Lynn

Voidmonger Unleashes “Lies of Aquarius,” a Darkly Cinematic Industrial / Argent Metal Experience - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Voidmonger Unleashes “Lies of Aquarius,” a Darkly Cinematic Industrial / Argent Metal Experience

Release Date: October 9, 2024
Stream & Download:
https://www.submithub.com/link/voidmonger-lies-of-aquarius">
https://www.submithub.com/link/voidmonger-lies-of-aquarius
For Fans Of: Mechina, Mick Gordon, Fear Factory

Prepare to step into the abyss. Voidmonger, the visionary audiovisual project fusing industrial metal, movement art, fireshow, and narrative storytelling, has officially released their first concept album, Lies of Aquarius . Available on all digital platforms and as a limited vinyl edition, the album is the opening chapter of a three-part saga exploring cosmic justice, human arrogance, and the dark machinations of the universe.

At the center of Voidmonger’s universe is the Juggernaut , a mobile, autonomous tower-stage of fire and steel. Through it, the Preacher—the enigmatic ambassador of the god-like Creator—delivers judgment on humanity’s failings. Accompanied by the Mechanic, the Executor, and the Slaves to the Void, the Preacher enforces the Creator’s sentence: a stark confrontation with the void of eternal emptiness for human hubris and moral transgression.

Lies of Aquarius sets the tone for this intergalactic mythos, combining the crushing power of industrial riffs with cinematic soundscapes and sci-fi storytelling. The album navigates themes of cosmic judgment, the consequences of exploiting faith for personal gain, and the eternal struggle between civilizations that evolve or collapse under the weight of their own sins.

“ Lies of Aquarius is more than music—it’s an experience. It’s the first step into the Voidmonger universe, where sound, story, and spectacle collide,” says Voidmonger’s creator.

Production Credits: Produced and mixed by Otus Hobst, mastered by Jan Zborovjan.

Fans of Mechina, Mick Gordon, and Fear Factory will find themselves at home in Voidmonger’s sonic and narrative depth—a relentless exploration of industrial metal pushed to its most cinematic extremes.
