JONESTOWN Unleash Long-Awaited Debut Album Promise of Enlightenment


Stockholm Heavy Metal Veterans Deliver 75 Minutes of Thrash, Progressive Firepower, and Classic Metal Craft

Release Date: May 29, 2026
Genre: Thrash Metal / Heavy Metal
For Fans Of: Metallica, Anthrax, Dream Theater

Stockholm, Sweden – After nearly seventeen years of evolution, setbacks, and renewed determination, Swedish heavy metal force Jonestown have finally released their long-awaited debut full-length album, Promise of Enlightenment , available now independently through Bandcamp and all major streaming platforms.

Formed in 2009, Jonestown’s debut is the culmination of years of songwriting, growth, and perseverance. The album features nine original compositions alongside two unexpected cover selections: the Ramones classic “Wart Hog” and Nirvana’s “Breed.” Clocking in at approximately 75 minutes, Promise of Enlightenment is an ambitious statement that showcases the band’s ability to merge crushing thrash aggression, traditional heavy metal songwriting, progressive arrangements, and melodic vocal delivery.

The album was recorded at Studio for Nations in Stockholm , produced by bassist Linus Larsén , with co-production and sound engineering by Daniel Jedrzejewski . The record was mixed and mastered in Warsaw by Sebastian Has , known for his extensive work with Polish extreme metal legends Behemoth.

Lyrically, Promise of Enlightenment explores themes of religious fanaticism, geopolitical conflict, war, and horror, delivering a thought-provoking backdrop to the band’s dynamic and technically driven compositions.

“The album gave us the chance to show the width of our influences and capabilities, and it let every band member shine in different aspects,” says vocalist and guitarist Einar Svensson . “It was never really in doubt that these nine songs should end up on our first album.”

Bassist and backing vocalist Linus Larsén adds:

“The basic structure of all songs has probably been around since at least 2013. But performance-wise, I think the difference after the reunion is big, to the better, luckily.”

Jonestown’s lineup features Einar Svensson (vocals, guitar, keys), Jacob Zetterberg (lead guitar), Linus Larsén (bass, backing vocals), and Johan Hambring (drums, backing vocals) . The current lineup represents a reunion of four of the band’s original members, who returned in the early 2020s with a renewed focus on bringing their long-developed material to life.

The band’s ambition and musicianship have already earned praise from Swedish metal media. Sweden Rock Magazine awarded the album high marks, with Jonas Wettmark describing Promise of Enlightenment as:

“a mastodon record at 75 minutes” and noting that Jonestown’s sound is “both progressive and punk.”

With influences ranging from classic thrash giants to progressive metal innovators, Jonestown have crafted a debut album that refuses to follow a single path. Promise of Enlightenment is a bold introduction from a band that spent years refining their sound and waiting for the right moment to strike.

According to the band, the collaboration helped reconnect Graziadei and Seinfeld after more than a decade apart, contributing to the renewed friendship that preceded Biohazard's celebrated reunion.

Rejecting modern studio shortcuts, We All Rise embraced a traditional recording approach, capturing live performances through real amplifiers to preserve the raw energy and authenticity that defines their sound. That same spirit is front and center in the new "Dead And Rotting" video, delivering a relentless visual assault packed with crushing riffs, aggressive grooves, and uncompromising intensity.

The result is a progressive metal experience that balances technical precision with emotional intensity while drawing listeners into a chilling tale inspired by cosmic horror.




"The Great Dreamer is Sight of Theia's cosmic horror themed debut album telling the story of astronauts that find Cthulhu in space."




Fans of Mastodon , Leprous , and Meshuggah will find plenty to sink their teeth into as the band blends thunderous grooves, progressive arrangements, atmospheric textures, and haunting melodies into an unforgettable listening experience.

BITTER Bring the Slamsaurus Rex: Yan Chatel Talks CDN Records, Beatdown Deathcore, DIY Metal and the Future of the Underground - @thebeast

BITTER Bring the Slamsaurus Rex: Yan Chatel Talks CDN Records, Beatdown Deathcore, DIY Metal and the Future of the Underground


The underground metal scene is constantly evolving, and some of the most exciting new bands are the ones willing to push boundaries, embrace creativity, and do things their own way. Montreal, Quebec's BITTER is one of those bands.

Recently, The Zach Moonshine Show welcomed Yan Chatel (Bass & Backing Vocals) and Kilian Langlois-Chatel (Lead Vocals) of BITTER for a conversation about the band's formation, their upcoming Slamosaurus Rex EP, their signing with CDN Records , and their mission to bring crushing beatdown deathcore to the masses.

Building BITTER From The Ground Up


Formed in 2024, BITTER has quickly started making waves with their massive blend of slam, beatdown, and deathcore influences. While the band may be relatively new, the passion and experience behind the project run deep.

For Yan Chatel, BITTER represents a chance to finally build something completely authentic.

Working in the video game industry for years made it difficult to dedicate the necessary time to music, but as life changed, the opportunity came to invest more energy into creating something heavy. That journey became even more meaningful when his son, Kilian, became involved and developed his own passion for extreme vocals.

What started as a father and son musical connection quickly evolved into a full band with a clear vision.

Slamosaurus Rex and the Rise of BITTER


BITTER's upcoming EP Slamosaurus Rex represents the next major step for the band. Combining brutal breakdowns, massive grooves, and a unique sense of personality, the release showcases a band that is not interested in simply following trends.

The digital release is scheduled for September 1, with physical editions including vinyl and CDs planned as well.

The band decided to invest further into their physical releases, including special vinyl options and unique ideas designed to create a memorable experience for fans.

One of the most creative ideas discussed was including special golden tickets inside select vinyl copies, giving fans a chance to receive lifetime access to BITTER shows.

It is exactly the type of outside-the-box thinking that helps underground bands stand out in today's music landscape.

Signing With CDN Records


BITTER's partnership with CDN Records was another major milestone for the band.

Yan explained that he had followed CDN Records for years and respected the label's approach to supporting unique and promising artists. After consistently reaching out and sharing the band's music, the connection eventually came together.

For BITTER, having a label believe in the project was a major moment.

As Yan explained, it is not something the band takes for granted. Having someone willing to invest their own time and resources into the music is a powerful validation that the hard work is paying off.

CDN Records has continued building a roster focused on fresh, modern heavy music, and BITTER fits perfectly into that vision.

The Slamosaurus Encounter: A DIY Approach


One of the standout moments from BITTER's recent releases is the music video for "The Slamosaurus Encounter."

The video combines humor, creativity, and a DIY spirit that perfectly represents the band's personality.

Instead of spending a massive budget on production, BITTER created something unique using creativity and resourcefulness. The band filmed outdoors, incorporated costumes, and even used Rock Band-style instruments after weather conditions made using their actual gear impossible.

What could have been a setback became part of the charm.

The result is a fun, memorable video that proves you do not always need a huge budget to create something that connects with fans.

Investing In Your Band


One of the biggest topics discussed during the interview was the importance of treating a band like more than just a hobby.

Yan shared advice for younger bands trying to break through: believe in your music, but also be willing to invest time, effort, and resources into making it happen.

Being passionate is important, but passion needs action behind it.

From creating their own merchandise to handling parts of their own production, BITTER takes a hands-on approach to building the band.

In today's music industry, where countless bands are competing for attention, having a strong identity and putting in the work can make all the difference.

The Future of BITTER


With upcoming shows, the release of Slamosaurus Rex , touring plans, and more new music already being developed, BITTER is just getting started.

The band is preparing for live appearances alongside acts including AngelMaker, Ingested, and Larcenia Roe, while also planning additional shows and future releases.

Beyond the music, BITTER is focused on creating a real connection with fans and continuing to do things their own way.

From crushing breakdowns to creative visuals and a true DIY mindset, BITTER represents the next wave of underground heavy music.
