Tårfödd Announces New Album En känsla av hopplöshet, Arriving September 28, 2026 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tårfödd Announces New Album En känsla av hopplöshet, Arriving September 28, 2026

Swedish One-Man Black/Progressive Metal Project Delivers a More Modern and Progressive Sound on a Deeply Personal New Album

Northern Sweden’s one-man black/progressive metal project Tårfödd is set to release its new full-length album, En känsla av hopplöshet , on September 28, 2026 through Purity Through Fire .

Created by Swedish multi-instrumentalist Simon Lindgren , Tårfödd is a solitary musical endeavor in which Lindgren handles songwriting, lyrics, guitars, bass, synths, and drums/drum programming. The project channels the bleak atmosphere of black metal while reaching into more progressive and modern territory, creating a sound that is both dark and expansive.

With En känsla av hopplöshet , Tårfödd takes a somewhat different musical direction than on previous material. The album embraces a more modern and progressive metal approach while retaining elements of black metal, resulting in a release that expands the project's sonic palette without abandoning its darker roots.

Written and recorded in late 2025, the album is driven by a deeply personal theme: the loss of someone close to Lindgren . That sense of grief, absence, and hopelessness forms the emotional foundation of En känsla av hopplöshet , giving the music a weight that goes beyond its instrumentation.




“It differs a bit from what I normally sound like. It’s more modern and more progressive metal with some black metal infused. It was written and recorded late 2025, but not released until now, and the theme of this album is the loss of someone close to me.”




The album was mastered by Simon Lundin , while the cover artwork was created by Vindur of Mörkvind , known for the artwork Drömskogen .

En känsla av hopplöshet offers a compelling meeting point between black metal’s emotional intensity and progressive metal’s broader sonic landscape, reflecting Tårfödd’s exploration of a more modern and progressive sound.

Check out the track premiere for Totalt Mörker:

OLA ENGLUND Lands on the Cover of Sweden Rock Magazine Alongside Accept - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OLA ENGLUND Lands on the Cover of Sweden Rock Magazine Alongside Accept

Acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and Solar Guitars founder Ola Englund has reached another major milestone in his career, appearing on the cover of Sweden Rock Magazine alongside legendary German metal institution Accept as the band celebrates its 50th anniversary.

The special feature brings together Accept guitarist Wolf Hoffmann with Swedish guitar heavyweights John Norum , Fredrik “Kulle” Åkesson , and Ola Englund for an extensive celebration of guitar, metal, musicianship, and the lasting influence of Accept.

For Englund, the feature represents another significant moment in a career that has seen him establish himself as one of modern metal's most recognizable guitarists through his work with The Haunted and Feared , his own solo music, and the worldwide success of Solar Guitars .

The Sweden Rock Magazine feature finds Englund discussing his approach to guitar, tone, creativity, influences, and the continuing evolution of metal guitar. Among the topics discussed is his longtime love of Flying V guitars , as well as the balance between technical ability and musical expression when creating guitar parts and solos.

The feature also captures a special moment in Swedish metal history, as Englund joined Hoffmann, Norum, and Åkesson around Accept's 50th anniversary celebration at Cirkus in Stockholm , bringing together generations of guitar players united by their love of heavy music.

Check out this video of Ola Englund with Accept:



While appearing alongside one of metal's most influential bands is certainly a milestone worth celebrating, Englund is far from looking backward.

He is currently building toward the release of his highly anticipated new solo album, The Neverending Story , arriving October 14, 2026 .

The album campaign has already delivered multiple singles, including “The Ember Saga,” “The Guillotine,” and the recently released “Dogma Progma,” with the latter showcasing Englund's continued focus on crushing riffs, soaring melodies, cinematic atmosphere, and his unmistakable guitar voice.

The official music video for “Dogma Progma” is available now:

Featuring ten original tracks, The Neverending Story represents what Englund describes as some of his most ambitious solo work to date, blending technical precision, memorable hooks, heavy riffs, and cinematic storytelling into an instrumental metal journey.

The album tracklist includes:

The Ember Saga
Game Over
The Astral Gate
Dogma Progma
The Guillotine
Means to an End
World Rift
The First of its Kind
Artax Reborn
Sun & The Moon Part 2

With his latest Sweden Rock Magazine cover appearance adding another major achievement to an already impressive career, and a new solo album on the horizon, Ola Englund continues to prove that his place in the modern metal guitar world extends far beyond his work onstage.

From The Haunted and Feared to Solar Guitars , his massively successful YouTube channel, and now his increasingly ambitious solo work, Englund has built a career centered around one thing: the guitar.

And the story is far from finished.

NoCleanSinging Premieres Necrocene’s Crushing New Track “Scumocracy” - @thebeast

NECROCENE Unleash Crushing Title Track “Scumocracy” Ahead of Debut Album


Italian death metal outfit Necrocene have unleashed the title track from their highly anticipated debut album, Scumocracy , premiering the song exclusively through NoCleanSinging .com . The album is set for international release on September 18, 2026 , via Personal Records .

“Scumocracy” is the second track to emerge from the album, following the previously released “Ordinary Enemy,” and serves as a fitting introduction to Necrocene's bleak, uncompromising vision of death metal.

There is a crushing weight bearing down on the world, an unrestrained cycle of destruction that increasingly breeds indifference. Necrocene take that bleak reality and transform it into something brutally physical. Their very name and the concept behind Scumocracy twist geological terminology into a grim political statement about the unstoppable, death-driven momentum of modern capitalism.

Musically, that philosophy translates into death metal stripped of unnecessary ornamentation. Necrocene reject the polished, hyper-technical approach that has become common within modern extreme metal, instead embracing a deliberately primitive, abrasive sound firmly rooted in the genre's foundational years.

Following their well-received 2024 Detrimental Paratomy EP , Scumocracy digs deep into the late-'80s and early-'90s Florida death metal tradition, evoking the raw atmosphere and crushing character associated with the legendary Morrisound Studios era. Sharp, vicious riffs collide with uncalculated drumming and harsh, primitive vocals, creating a sound that recalls the early work of Obituary, Death, and Cancer without simply attempting to recreate the past.

The members of Necrocene bring years of experience from Italy's underground punk and metal scenes, and those counter-cultural roots are all over the album. Rather than chasing trends, the band focuses on heaviness, atmosphere, and attitude.

Scumocracy moves between sudden tempo changes and agonizingly heavy, cadenced downtempo passages, giving the album a sense of constant forward momentum while maintaining its deliberately filthy old-school character. Its lyrical and conceptual themes explore social decay, technological obsolescence, and a civilization seemingly racing toward its own self-inflicted end.

In other words, this is death metal with something rotten at its core, and Necrocene aren't interested in putting a fresh coat of paint over it.

Listen to “Scumocracy”


The brand-new title track “Scumocracy” is streaming exclusively through NoCleanSinging.com , while the previously revealed “Ordinary Enemy” is available through Personal Records' Bandcamp.

Scumocracy arrives internationally on September 18, 2026 , via Personal Records.

Scumocracy Tracklisting

Ordinary Enemy

THY SANATORIUM, FALSE MESSIAH, FIRST WORLD APPETITE, DAY40 AND BRIAN MOODY FEATURED IN METALIZED MAGAZINE’S LEX LEGION ISSUE - @thebeast

METAL DEVASTATION PR CLIENTS TAKE OVER METALIZED MAGAZINE’S LEX LEGION ISSUE


THY SANATORIUM, FALSE MESSIAH, FIRST WORLD APPETITE, DAY40 AND BRIAN MOODY FEATURED IN DENMARK’S LONGEST-RUNNING METAL MAGAZINE


Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple MDPR clients have been featured in the latest Lex Legion issue of Metalized Magazine , Denmark’s longest-running and biggest metal magazine, which has been covering the world of heavy music since 1987 .

The issue delivers a strong showing for the Metal Devastation PR roster, with Thy Sanatorium, False Messiah, First World Appetite, Day40 and Brian Moody all receiving coverage, while Machine Cult Ritual was also showcased through a dedicated advertisement.

From crushing extreme metal and melodic death metal to industrial, groove, thrash and atmospheric sounds, the issue demonstrates the international reach and diversity of the artists working with Metal Devastation PR.

THY SANATORIUM – THY SANATORIUM


9/10


Thy Sanatorium receives one of the highest scores in the feature lineup, earning an impressive 9/10 for their self-released debut album.

Reviewer Mike Gehrcke praises the band's ability to balance heaviness with atmosphere, highlighting the album's dark yet inviting character, dynamic song structures, melodic passages, tempo changes and strong sense of identity.

Gehrcke describes Thy Sanatorium as a debut that demonstrates enormous potential and an album that rewards repeated listening.




“All in all, Thy Sanatorium is a debut that impresses and shows enormous potential.”




FALSE MESSIAH – SEVEN


8/10 | Cemetery Records


False Messiah earns an 8/10 for Seven , with reviewer Kim Vestergaard Nielsen praising the album's aggressive riffs, powerful production and dark atmosphere.

The review highlights the band's combination of melodic black metal and brutal death metal , resulting in a dynamic and captivating record that showcases the musicians' technical abilities while maintaining plenty of aggression.

FIRST WORLD APPETITE – ANGEL SHADES DEMISE


8/10 | Self-released


First World Appetite also receives an 8/10 , with reviewer Stephen Rocky highlighting the project's dark and atmospheric approach.

The review describes Angel Shades Demise as a deeply personal debut built around frustration and inner turmoil, combining heavy riffs with electronic elements to create a dystopian, cinematic atmosphere.

The record's ability to move between harshness and beauty is singled out as one of its strengths, resulting in a debut that leaves a lasting impression.

DAY40 – PHENOMENON


8/10 | Self-released


British-based, Bulgarian-founded melodic death metal outfit Day40 earns an 8/10 for Phenomenon .

Reviewer Nolder highlights guitarist Nikolay Atanasov's technical precision and the band's combination of melodic death metal with modern and atmospheric elements.

The album also features guest appearances from Andy LaRocque , guitarist for King Diamond, and Dencho Dimitor of Eufobia.

The review praises the album's energetic mix of fast riffs, melodic passages and variety, calling Phenomenon a well-produced and ambitious release worthy of attention from melodic death metal fans.

BRIAN MOODY – BRIAN'S BRAIN


8/10 | Metal Devastation


Brian Moody earns an 8/10 for the reissue of his debut album Brian's Brain , with reviewer Christoffer Kofoed examining both the music and Moody's distinctive one-man approach.

The reissue features real drums rather than drum sampling, along with mixing and mastering by Theodor Borovski , while retaining the character of the original recording.

Kofoed points to the album's strong '90s thrash influence , metallic one-man-band approach, grunge references, double-kick drumming and harmonized guitar work. While noting that the record can sometimes feel overwhelming because of the sheer number of ideas packed into it, the review recognizes the strongest tracks and Moody's intense combination of heavy riffs and depressive vocals.

The final verdict: 8/10 , with Kofoed describing the release as tight and solid.




FROM BASEMENT TO INTERNATIONAL PR CAMPAIGN


In addition to the album review, Brian Moody receives an in-depth feature from Christoffer Kofoed titled From Basement to International PR Campaign .

The article explores Moody's evolution from a completely independent one-man musician handling recording, production and promotion himself into an artist actively pursuing an international audience.

The feature examines the story behind the re-release of Brian's Brain , including the new mix and master by Theodor Borovski, Moody's creative process, his musical influences and the themes of chaos, personal struggle and emotional intensity that run through his work.

The article also looks at Moody's growing understanding of the business side of being an independent artist, including branding, networking and the role of professional promotion in helping his music reach listeners outside his home territory.

At its core, the feature presents Brian's Brain as more than simply a reissue. It represents another step in Moody's development as an artist and his efforts to build an international career without losing the independent spirit that shaped the project from the beginning.

Moody's philosophy is summed up by his desire to create an emotional reaction in the listener, with the ultimate goal being to make people feel something when they hear his music.




CHAOS, RIFFS, AND LOSS OF CONTROL


First World Appetite also receives an extensive feature from Kasper Kudsk , titled Chaos, Riffs, and Loss of Control .

The article dives into the project's industrial and groove metal foundations and the creative vision of Dutch musician Ronald de Groot .

De Groot discusses the project's origins, including his inspiration from guitarist Tim Skold , as well as the evolution of his songwriting and production approach.

The feature explores the contrast between chaos and control within the recording process, along with the expanded use of acoustic passages, melody and atmosphere.

Kudsk also examines the themes behind First World Appetite, including human greed, destruction, overconsumption and the consequences of humanity's desire for more.

Influences including Fear Factory, Nine Inch Nails, Black Sabbath and Tom Waits are discussed, giving readers additional insight into the musical landscape surrounding the project.

The article ultimately presents Angel Shades Demise as both a deeply personal musical statement and the closing of an important chapter for de Groot, while exploring the darker themes that inspired the project in the first place.




MACHINE CULT RITUAL FEATURED IN METALIZED


Adding even more Metal Devastation PR representation to the issue, Machine Cult Ritual was showcased through a dedicated advertisement.

The inclusion gives another MDPR artist visibility within the pages of one of Europe's longest-running metal publications, putting the project directly in front of Metalized's established readership.




ANOTHER BIG INTERNATIONAL WIN FOR METAL DEVASTATION PR ARTISTS


With five MDPR clients receiving editorial coverage, multiple strong review scores, two in-depth features and an additional advertising showcase , the Lex Legion issue of Metalized Magazine represents another significant piece of international exposure for the Metal Devastation PR roster.

Coverage like this is exactly why getting independent metal artists in front of legitimate music media still matters. Social media comes and goes, algorithms change, and everybody's fighting for attention in the same damn feed. A respected metal publication with decades of history gives artists something different: editorial credibility, lasting coverage and another piece of press that can be used to build their international story.

Congratulations to Thy Sanatorium, False Messiah, First World Appetite, Day40, Brian Moody and Machine Cult Ritual on being featured in the latest Lex Legion issue of Metalized Magazine .

Metal Devastation PR continues to put independent and underground metal directly in front of media, journalists and fans around the world.

AEGROR Release Atmospheric Cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Road to Nowhere” on All Major Streaming Platforms - @thebeast

AEGROR Release Atmospheric Cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Road to Nowhere” on All Major Streaming Platforms


German extreme metal band AEGROR have unveiled their haunting interpretation of Ozzy Osbourne’s classic track “Road to Nowhere,” with the new version now available worldwide across all major digital streaming platforms.

Originally recorded exclusively for ANTICHRIST Magazine’s international compilation A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne , AEGROR’s rendition first surfaced on Bandcamp and YouTube alongside contributions from artists around the world paying tribute to one of heavy metal’s most influential and enduring figures. Following the track’s initial release, the band have now made their interpretation available as a standalone digital single.

Rather than attempting a note-for-note recreation, AEGROR have approached “Road to Nowhere” through the dark and atmospheric lens of their own musical identity. Crushing riffs, shadowy textures, and an intense emotional weight reshape the familiar composition while preserving the heart of the original.

The result is a version that clearly honors Ozzy’s legacy while sounding unmistakably like AEGROR.

Adding further weight to the production, the single was mastered by Nikita Kamprad of Der Weg Einer Freiheit , whose work brings additional depth, clarity, and power to the finished track.

Speaking about the release, AEGROR explain:




“Ozzy Osbourne has inspired generations of musicians, ourselves included. Being invited to contribute to this tribute was both an honour and a responsibility. We wanted to preserve the emotional core of ‘Road to Nowhere’ while translating it into our own musical language. This release is our way of expressing gratitude to one of metal’s most influential voices.”




The release arrives following AEGROR’s worldwide signing with EMG , marking another significant step in the band’s continuing evolution.

While “Road to Nowhere” is first and foremost a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, AEGROR have also incorporated the song into the mythology surrounding their own Plaguebreeder Universe . In the band’s hands, the familiar story becomes another dark fragment within that expanding world, a recognizable shadow recast through AEGROR’s own narrative and musical vision.

For fans of atmospheric and extreme metal, the new single offers a fresh way to experience a classic Ozzy composition while highlighting the increasingly distinctive identity AEGROR have built for themselves.

“Road to Nowhere” by AEGROR is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, and all major digital streaming platforms.

B.F. Raid Unleashes New Album Combat Zone And Spotlights Crushing Single “Punchdrunk” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE





B.F. Raid Unleashes New Album Combat Zone And Spotlights Crushing Single “Punchdrunk”



Massachusetts metal outfit turns the streets, memories, and overlooked stories of Greater Boston into a ten-track musical documentary

BOSTON, Massachusetts — Massachusetts heavy metal band B.F. Raid has released its second full-length album, Combat Zone , aand is currently spotlighting the hard-hitting track “Punchdrunk” as the album's featured single.

Released July 30, 2026, Combat Zone is far more than a conventional heavy metal record. Recorded at The Record Co. in Boston with engineer Jamie Rowe , the album serves as an audio documentary about growing up and living in and around Boston, combining the band's distinctly heavy sound with stories rooted in real places, people, memories, and experiences.

At the center of the current campaign is “Punchdrunk,” one of the album's ten tracks and a strong representation of B.F. Raid's ability to balance traditional heavy metal power with the progressive structures, unconventional harmony, punk directness, and melodic foundations that define the band's sound.

The track sits within an album inspired by Boston's former Combat Zone and the present-day area surrounding Massachusetts Avenue and Melnea Cass Boulevard. Across Combat Zone , B.F. Raid explores addiction, isolation, memory, desire, difficult relationships, survival, and the people whose stories are often overlooked.




"Combat Zone is more than a collection of songs—it’s an audio documentary about growing up and living in Boston. Every track is rooted in a real place, person, memory or hard-earned experience, delivered through the heaviest and most diverse music B.F. Raid has ever recorded."




B.F. Raid features Bill Kotowski on vocals, Bruce Owens on guitar and keyboards, Matt "Moose" Howard on bass, and Jamie Forbes on drums. Kotowski, Owens, and Forbes are originally from Malden, Massachusetts, while Howard hails from Dallas, Texas.

The band's sound draws from the classic heavy metal tradition while refusing to remain confined by it. Progressive arrangements, punk attitude, unconventional harmonic ideas, dissonance, atmospheric textures, and strong melodic writing all play a role in B.F. Raid's music, making Combat Zone a natural fit for fans of Motörhead, Iron Maiden, and Pantera .

The songwriting process is equally collaborative. While an individual member may introduce the initial idea for a song, every composition is developed collectively, with all four musicians contributing to the final arrangement.

Guitarist and keyboardist Bruce Owens frequently incorporates atonal ideas, unexpected intervals, dissonance, and unresolved movement into his compositions. Bassist Matt "Moose" Howard often establishes the tonal center of a song while stepping forward as a featured or solo instrument. Vocalist Bill Kotowski provides the emotional and narrative direction, while drummer Jamie Forbes drives the movement, dynamics, and structure.

That collective approach is particularly important to Combat Zone .

"No song reached the finish line exactly the way it started," the band explains. "Once all four of us began working on it, the structure, mood, and direction could change completely. Every member helped shape what the listener ultimately hears."

“Punchdrunk” now serves as the band's featured single from the album, giving listeners a direct entry point into the world of Combat Zone while highlighting the chemistry of the current lineup.

The album follows B.F. Raid's 2024 full-length Raided Again , which introduced the current lineup to a wider audience. Tracks including "Becky," "Hollywood With Snakes," and "Angel" received independent radio airplay and helped establish the band with listeners and broadcasters in the United States and abroad.

With Combat Zone , B.F. Raid takes that foundation considerably further.

While the title Combat Zone may suggest violence, the album contains no violent themes. Its heaviness comes from emotional tension, personal struggle, difficult circumstances, and the realities of the environments described throughout the record.

B.F. Raid does not attempt to romanticize Boston's past, pass judgment on its present, or offer easy answers to complicated problems. Instead, the band documents what it has seen, experienced, remembered, and lived through.

The result is an album that is unmistakably heavy metal and unmistakably connected to Greater Boston.

B.F. Raid's Combat Zone is out now, with “Punchdrunk” serving as the album's featured single.
