FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We All Rise Unleashes Debut Album “The Beginning of the End”

Rising metal and hardcore force We All Rise has officially dropped their debut full-length, The Beginning of the End , via Golden Robot Records . A ferocious blend of 90s-inspired metal, hardcore grooves, and modern hard rock edge, the album announces the arrival of a band ready to leave an indelible mark on the scene.

Formed from years of shared musical journeys, We All Rise unites four seasoned musicians with diverse backgrounds— Gery Grey (vocals), Choupah Brutality (drums), Joel Von Schlamauss (bass), and XIII (guitars)—into a powerful unit delivering shredding riffs, dynamic vocal textures, and hard-hitting grooves. Their sound, simultaneously nostalgic and forward-thinking, resonates with fans of Sepultura, Pantera, and Biohazard alike.

During the album’s recording, a standout moment emerged when Billy Graziadei invited Evan Seinfeld to contribute vocals on the track Crown . This collaboration marked the first time the founding members of Biohazard had shared a track in over a decade, sparking a reunion of the original lineup now dominating stages worldwide.

Produced by Graziadei himself and expertly mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Suicide Silence), The Beginning of the End captures a band at the peak of creative synergy. The album is an emotional and sonic journey through collapse, resilience, and rebirth, exploring the end of the familiar and the hope that emerges on the other side.

Golden Robot Records comments:
"The Beginning of the End is the boldest, most cathartic statement from We All Rise yet. Towering riffs, haunting melodies, and raw lyrical storytelling combine to make an album that hits hard while leaving a lasting impression."

Simon Ostini Unleashes Blazing New Instrumental Single “Waltz of the Vultures” – Out April 17, 2026

Rising Austrian guitar virtuoso Simon Ostini is set to release his explosive new instrumental single Waltz of the Vultures on April 17, 2026, via Hellbound Records. Fusing high-octane shred, melodic metal, and cinematic flair, the track delivers a relentless showcase of precision, speed, and expressive guitar mastery that’s guaranteed to turn heads in the global metal scene.

Waltz of the Vultures isn’t just a shred fest, it’s a calculated, dynamic composition that highlights his evolution as both a player and a songwriter.

Simon Ostini’s journey began at the age of seven, quickly developing into a lifelong pursuit of excellence. During his teenage years, he cut his teeth with hard rock outfit StageFright, recording an album and an EP while touring internationally. Those early experiences laid the groundwork for his reputation as a highly skilled and dedicated guitarist.

As his online presence grew through jaw-dropping guitar performances, Ostini caught the attention of major brands like Marshall Amplification , Beyerdynamic , and Polychrome DSP , leading to collaborations that further cemented his standing in the guitar community.

After relocating to Sweden post-graduation, Ostini released his solo album Witches and expanded his reach as a session guitarist, contributing to multiple projects including a feature appearance on the debut album of Swiss metal band I Won’t Skye . In August 2025, he joined German metal act ELA , contributing guitar work to several singles and their upcoming studio release.

Drawing inspiration from legendary players such as John Sykes , Doug Aldrich , Satchel , Buckethead , and Vinnie Vincent , Ostini continues to push his sound forward while staying rooted in the traditions of classic and modern metal guitar.

Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu-Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover) - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu-Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover)

Costa Rica’s long-reigning metal force, Sight of Emptiness, returns with a powerful and deeply personal release: a reimagined cover of “Break Stuff,” the iconic anthem by Limp Bizkit . Dropping March 25th, this version is more than a tribute. It’s a full-force statement from a band that has spent two decades carving its own path through the global metal underground.

Blending Nu Metal intensity with Groove Metal weight, Sight of Emptiness injects their signature sonic identity into the track while honoring the raw energy that defined an era. Fans of Deftones , Korn , and Limp Bizkit will find themselves right at home in this explosive reinterpretation.

Originally conceived as a passion project celebrating the golden age of late ‘90s and early 2000s metal, the release took on deeper meaning following the passing of Sam Rivers in 2025. What began as homage evolved into a heartfelt, posthumous tribute, honoring Rivers’ influence and the sonic blueprint that continues to inspire generations.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by acclaimed producer Thomas "Plec" Johansson (known for his work with Opeth and Soilwork ) at Bohus Studio in Sweden, the track strikes a rare balance between old-school authenticity and modern precision. The result is a version of “Break Stuff” that feels both nostalgic and urgently relevant.

Sight of Emptiness brings serious pedigree to the table. Over a 20-year independent career, they’ve released five albums, toured globally from Iceland to Japan, and shared stages with heavyweights like Testament , In Flames , Arch Enemy , Behemoth , Nightwish , Dimmu Borgir , Dark Tranquillity , and Machine Head . They’ve ignited crowds at Bloodstock Open Air and made history as the first Central American band to perform on the 70000 Tons of Metal .

On their home turf, they’ve supported legends such as Black Sabbath , Slayer , Megadeth , and Amon Amarth , cementing their status as Costa Rica’s premier metal export.

The band shares:




“Seeing Limp Bizkit play our home soil confirmed that recording this track was the right move. The emotions from that live experience reaffirmed the power of these anthems today—they feel fresher and more necessary than ever. It’s about catharsis. You get that release through music without actually having to act it out. Why did we do it? Why not? It’s a necessary purge.”




Far from a carbon-copy cover, this version of “Break Stuff” channels the chaos, brotherhood, and emotional release that defined a generation—while pushing it forward with modern firepower.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HEL HATH FURY UNLEASH PRO-SHOT LIVE VIDEO FOR “GARMR” — FILMED AT DENVER’S ICONIC FEDERAL THEATRE

Colorado’s rising metal force Hel Hath Fury is back with something raw, real, and loud as hell. The band has just dropped a pro-shot live video of their track “Garmr,” captured in full fury at The Federal Theatre in Denver on February 12th, 2026.

Crisp visuals, crushing sound, and a front-row view of a band that’s quickly building a reputation for delivering the goods on stage. If you want to know what Hel Hath Fury is all about, this is it.

“Garmr” hits with the kind of intensity that only comes from a band grinding it out the old-school way. Tight, aggressive, and locked in. The live setting brings out a different kind of energy too. You can feel the crowd, the sweat, the volume. It’s the kind of performance that reminds you why live metal still matters.

This release follows the momentum of their latest single “Halt Ragnarok,” which marked a major step forward in the band’s evolution from DIY beginnings to a more polished, professional sound. Between studio growth and now a high-quality live visual to back it up, Hel Hath Fury is proving they can hit just as hard in any setting.

Beyond the stage, the band has been steadily making waves. From features in Decibel Magazine to podcast appearances and growing buzz across the underground, they’re putting in the work and it’s paying off.

And they’re not slowing down.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CHOKE ME UNLEASH “A VIOLENT PHENOMENON” — OUT MAY 1, 2026 VIA RIOT READY RECORDS

Los Angeles, CA – Rising from the filth and fury of the West Coast underground, Choke Me are set to drop their latest sonic assault, “A Violent Phenomenon,” on May 1, 2026 via Riot Ready Records.

Blending the raw aggression of grindcore, the urgency of hardcore, and the crushing weight of metal, Choke Me deliver a no-frills, DIY-fueled attack that pulls zero punches. Helmed by songwriter, guitarist, and frontman Wesley Richards, the band has carved out a reputation in the LA underground for their unfiltered intensity and refusal to play it safe.

A Violent Phenomenon is exactly what the title promises. Relentless, pissed off, and unapologetically heavy, the release channels both personal and political rage into a barrage of punishing riffs and thought-provoking lyricism. Tackling everything from the current and historical political climate to the suffocating grip of systemic power, Choke Me aim straight for the throat.

As Staxx Tightsey puts it:
“Relentless, pissed off and punishing metal blended with thoughtful lyrics.”

Fans of Darkest Hour, Magrudergrind, and Punch will find plenty to latch onto here, but Choke Me aren’t just following in anyone’s footsteps. They’re stomping their own path straight through the concrete.

The record was written, recorded, and mixed by Wesley Richards at Riot Ready Records, capturing the band’s raw, unfiltered energy at its source. Mastering was handled by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, adding the final layer of sonic devastation, while artwork by Matt Worthington visually captures the chaos within.

With A Violent Phenomenon , Choke Me aren’t just making noise, they’re making a statement. Loud, ugly, and impossible to ignore.

Since its release, “CRASH: Reborn” has gained momentum organically, resonating with longtime Static-X fans while introducing a new generation to Wayne Static’s work.
