FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Awaiting Abigail Emerge as One of Texas’ Most Promising New Hard Rock Forces

Dallas/Ft. Worth’s own Awaiting Abigail are carving out a spot in modern hard rock with a sound that hits like a steel-toed boot and sticks with the kind of attitude you can’t fake. Formed in 2024, the six-piece has wasted zero time proving they’re more than another local band grinding through the circuit. They’ve already pulled national attention, hit major press radars, and delivered a debut EP full of grit, melody, and emotional firepower.

Their breakout release, Bad Mind , showcased the band’s knack for pairing chunky, classic-metal inspired riffs with a soaring, rock-radio-ready vocal attack. The EP’s four tracks go straight for the throat, blending sass, vulnerability, and tough-as-nails groove. Tracks like I Hate You , Falling Under , and the title track Bad Mind quickly put the band in the spotlight, earning praise from critics across genres.

Awaiting Abigail’s momentum has only grown thanks to multiple standout media features:

Press & Media Praise


“Kicks in like a wrecking ball wrapped in velvet… demands to be heard, felt, and turned up way past eleven.” — Illustrate Magazine

  “Arguably the most exciting metal newcomers to emerge in a long time.” — SONGSCOPE


“A striking and powerful hard rock single that masterfully blends heavy riffs with melodic sophistication.” — Broken Color

  “If metal has the power and hard rock the groove, then Awaiting Abigail has a foot in each camp… This is a band that is doing it better.” — The Big Takeover

  “Glittery sonic concoction… and Abigail Hill’s gritty vocals.” — The Other Side Reviews

  “Every single song would be worthy of being played on Rock radio stations.” — Metalheads Forever Magazine

The band also earned a glowing review and feature in Power Play Magazine , which praised their debut EP for its sassy punch, infectious attitude, and dynamic contrast between heavy guitars and frontwoman Abigail Hill’s unmistakable vocal style. Power Play also spotlighted one of the band’s earliest milestones— performing at the iconic Whisky A Go Go with L.A. Guns on July 19, 2025.

Their reputation continues to expand, including a placement in Decibel Magazine in the MDPR Recommendations section (Issue #246), further establishing the band as one of the rising names worth watching.

Awaiting Abigail’s music pulls from the raw emotion of struggle and the fight to rise above it. Their themes tackle personal demons, mental strain, empowerment, and the messy truth of what it takes to push forward. It’s modern hard rock with a classic punch, built on real-life grit.

VULNIFICUS Unleash Their Debut Full-Length INCLINATION — A Surgical Strike of Brutal Death Metal Extremity Out Now on Comatose Music - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VULNIFICUS Unleash Their Debut Full-Length INCLINATION — A Surgical Strike of Brutal Death Metal Extremity
Out Now on Comatose Music

VULNIFICUS have officially dropped their long-awaited first full-length album INCLINATION , and it’s already making the brutal death metal underground sit up straight like they got hit with a defibrillator. After four years of grinding through EPs, lineup changes, tours, and nonstop evolution, the band has arrived with a fully realized, fully weaponized statement piece.

INCLINATION is a vicious concept album that drags listeners into the mind and downfall of a corrupt medical provider who manipulates the system, blackmails colleagues, overdoses patients, and ultimately faces execution for his crimes. Each track dives into a different chapter of this spiral, turning the record into a grim, gripping experience built on tension, violence and suffocating heaviness.

This debut full-length marks a major milestone for VULNIFICUS. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Scot Moriarty at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, New Jersey, with additional vocal tracking by E. Browne at Superlative Sound in Pittsburgh, the album hits with a clarity and brutality that stands miles above anything the band has done before. It's the definitive sound of VULNIFICUS leveling up.

Since forming in 2021, the band has pulled brutal death metal back to its raw, no-nonsense roots while injecting enough modern power to flatten a small city. Their early releases INNOMINATION and INVOCATION won over diehards worldwide, leading to a sold-out Indonesian tape release, a U.S. tour with Cordyceps, and festival slots like Gulfcoast Deathfest. With a fully locked-in lineup—Eston (vocals), Jamison Parker and Evan Daniele (guitars), Mike Jones (bass), and Jason McLean (drums)—VULNIFICUS are entering this new era firing on every cylinder.

For fans of: Suffocation, Immolation, Deeds of Flesh
Label: Comatose Music
Album: INCLINATION — Out Now

Production Credits:
Vocals recorded by E. Browne at Superlative Sound
Strings recorded by VULNIFICUS
Drums recorded by S. Moriarty at Backroom Studios
Mixed and mastered by S. Moriarty
Intros/outros by BWNTWN SOUND
Guest performances and artwork details remain as listed in the official credits
Management: Extreme Management Group (EMG)

Regarding the album concept, the band states:
“ INCLINATION tells a story of a medical provider who infiltrates the system through medical malpractice and imposes his will on other doctors and nurses through blackmail to keep them silent. He over medicates patients to become addicted to opioids himself and then receives the penalty of death once convicted in court. Each song goes through these stages individually and from different perspectives. ”

INCLINATION is out now and carving its path through the scene. With this record, VULNIFICUS cement themselves as one of the most dangerous forces in modern brutal death metal.

St. Unholyness Drop Surprise Pantera Tribute Blacktooth Brothers as Momentum Builds from Last Month’s Hybrid Video Release - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Unholyness Drop Surprise Pantera Tribute Blacktooth Brothers as Momentum Builds from Last Month’s Hybrid Video Release

Tribute Release Out Now on Bandcamp
Hybrid Music/Lyric Video for Dampflok des Todes Released Last Month
Album: Through High Holy Haze
Pfarrkirchen, Germany

St. Unholyness just rolled out a surprise gut-punch in the best way possible: a brand new tribute track honoring Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Blacktooth Brothers (Abbott Brothers Tribute) is out now on Bandcamp, raising a glass to the Abbott brothers and the impact they left carved deep into heavy music. It’s loud, it’s sincere, and it carries the kind of spirit that hits you right in the chest.

Built on thick, doom-kissed riffs and that gritty Chromed Stoner Doom with Groove and Style that the band has made their own, this tribute is a straight shot of appreciation. The kind of thing Dime and Vinnie would’ve nodded at with a grin.

The new track lands on the heels of last month’s release of their hybrid music/lyric video for Dampflok des Todes , the second visual offering from their debut album Through High Holy Haze . The video blends performance energy with lyric-driven atmosphere, laying out the song’s story of mortality, reflection, and the rough edges of life’s long ride.

“This tribute is personal,” Christina says. “Dime and Vinnie shaped so much of the heavy world we all live in. Dropping this track felt like the right way to honor them.”

About St. Unholyness
Formed in 2017 by Christina Earlymorn and Mac Carrigan, St. Unholyness have carved out their own lane in the stoner doom underground. Their debut album Through High Holy Haze —written, produced, and mixed entirely by Christina—combines stoner doom weight, blues grit, and blackened atmosphere into eight tracks that cut deep. The band keeps pushing forward, staying true to the grind and the craft.

Blacktooth Brothers (Abbott Brothers Tribute) is available now on Bandcamp.

The hybrid video for Dampflok des Todes is already streaming and continuing to gain traction.

Bulgarian Visionary Ivan Shishkov Unleashes His Debut Metal Album WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME Under the Project Name BRAINMAZE - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bulgarian Visionary Ivan Shishkov Unleashes His Debut Metal Album WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME Under the Project Name BRAINMAZE

After more than a decade of grinding in the shadows, Bulgarian musician and photographer Ivan Shishkov steps into the light with the release of WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME , the debut full length from his solo project BRAINMAZE. This record is the result of ten years of persistence, late night creativity, and a whole lot of fire that refused to die.

Every track on the album first came alive on Ivan’s bass guitar, the instrument that has been by his side since the beginning. These riffs and ideas lived in his mind for years before being shaped into the intense and aggressive sound now etched into the album.

“This music has lived in my head for years,” Ivan says. “Now it’s finally real.”

Working on the project whenever life allowed, often past midnight, Ivan pushed boundaries with arrangements, styles and structures. The album digs straight into the darkness we all carry, confronting the demons that crawl out when we’re alone without our armor. Fear, spite, despair... nothing gets sugar coated here.

BRAINMAZE is a true solo effort in concept, music, lyrics, photography and design, but Ivan brought in an international lineup of exceptional musicians to make the vision whole. The album features performances from:

Rob Davies /UK/ – vocals
Ramon Martinez /Venezuela/ – rhythm and lead guitars
German Maldonado /Argentina/ – guitar solos on “Despair,” “Uncertainty,” and “Envy”
Fabian Carrion Troya /Ecuador/ – midi drums
David Mendez /Argentina/ – acoustic drums

Recording and production support came from Ilarion Ivanenko /Ukraine/ on editing and mixing, with final mastering by Colin Davis at Imperial Mastering /USA/.

After endless rounds of recording, re recording, editing and passing files around the world, the album now stands complete.

“Yes,” Ivan says, “I managed to bring to life the vision I’ve carried for over 10 years. I believe that soon, I will come out of the darkness and return to the real world.”

WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME is available now, ready to drag listeners deep into the heart of BRAINMAZE.

Long live the king METAL!
