Jackson, TN – Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple roster artists are featured in the latest issue of Rock Hard Magazine , one of the most respected international heavy music publications. This month’s issue is led by a cover feature on Black Label Society , with extensive coverage inside spotlighting key underground and rising heavy acts from across the global metal scene, including several Metal Devastation PR clients.
The issue features full reviews, interviews, and ratings that highlight the continued strength, diversity, and evolution of modern heavy music.
HELLRAZOR – Wings of Deliverance
Rating: 7.5
Rock Hard Magazine describes the album as a fluid and unpredictable journey where “melodic rock tradition and epic power metal elegance converge with progressive experimentation.” The review continues:
“Listening to Hellrazor’s debut album means surrendering to unconventional sounds that alternate between rough passages and enveloping moments, delicacy and harshness, harmony and dissonance.”
The magazine praises the record’s refusal to conform, noting its “fascinating, colorful aura” and its ability to remain “elusive yet deeply intriguing” across thirteen tracks.
KUF – Chapter 1
Rating: 7.5
KUF’s debut EP is highlighted for its blend of vintage influence and modern heaviness. Rock Hard notes the band’s ability to bridge eras, stating:
“The distinctly retro vein that permeates Dance of Deceit adds real value, blending classic hard rock and doom with an earthquaking stride.”
The review also emphasizes standout moments across Final Descent and Quicksand Serenade , adding:
“The right balance between tradition and contemporary flair results in a remarkably high and effective level of quality.”
ANTIMOZDEBEAST – The Vagrant Unkempt Grave
Interview Feature
The industrial metal project led by Gabriel Palacio is featured in a deep interview exploring its philosophy, creative process, and lyrical themes. Palacio describes his artistic approach as constantly evolving:
“My goal is to create a new or different style with each release, as if writing an ongoing novel. The premise stays the same, but the dialogue keeps evolving.”
On inspiration and depth, he adds:
“I read a lot of philosophy and literature — from Dostoevsky to Voltaire. Abundance of knowledge goes hand in hand with life experience.”
The interview highlights a project built on experimentation, introspection, and unfiltered creative expression.
HEXJAKT – Blessing of the Damned
Interview Feature
The Swedish doom trio discusses identity, emotional weight, and the philosophy behind their music. On their name, they explain:
“The Swedish word hexjakt sounds harsh and severe. Its meaning refers to the interrogation methods used against alleged witches — exploring darkness and the occult naturally follows.”
On emotional authenticity in performance, the band states:
“To leave room for genuine emotion, you must stay anchored to something real. The voice must become the darkest tone — music should be a natural extension of what you feel.”
The feature reinforces Hexjakt’s commitment to long-form, atmospheric doom rooted in existential themes and raw emotional delivery.
MY DARK FATE – Paint It, Black
Rating: 7.5
Austrian band My Dark Fate returns with a bold reinterpretation of The Rolling Stones classic Paint It Black . Rock Hard Magazine highlights the band’s stylistic transformation following their 2022 release No Prophecy , noting a shift toward a more gothic and decadent sonic identity.
The addition of vocalists Marina and Stefan is praised for creating a striking duality:
“The arrival of two new singers brings a strong contrast between vocal styles, enriched by Scandinavian death-metal influences.”
The review concludes that the track confirms the band’s interpretative strength while pointing toward an exciting new creative direction.

NOCTURNAL CEREMONY – Obsidian
Rating: 8
Veteran Norwegian extreme metal force Nocturnal Ceremony returns with Obsidian , a long-awaited album described as dark, dense, and uncompromising. Rock Hard characterizes the record as:
“Dark and impenetrable, a reflection of negativity that exorcises inner demons through rage, violence, and ferocity.”
Musically, the album is rooted in blackened death metal, delivering “lethal riffs, extreme vocals, and relentless intensity” across fourteen tracks with no reprieve.
