FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GHOST PIPE RELEASES NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR “SPIRIT SPEAKS” FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THE AWAKENING


Michigan Stoner/Doom Outfit Explores Inner Darkness, Spiritual Transformation, and Psychedelic Visions on Latest Single


GRAND RAPIDS, MI | Michigan stoner/doom metal outfit Ghost Pipe has released the official music video for “Spirit Speaks,” a track from the band's forthcoming full-length album, The Awakening, arriving November 20, 2026, through Black Doomba Records.

Blending crushing riffs, hypnotic psychedelic textures, and an atmosphere steeped in darkness and mysticism, “Spirit Speaks” takes listeners on a journey into the deeper corners of the human psyche. The song explores the struggle to confront inner demons, break free from psychological restraints, and embrace the painful process of transformation.

The accompanying music video brings the band's immersive sonic world to life, drawing listeners further into the mysterious atmosphere surrounding the track. With lyrics that invoke flickering flames, shadowy forests, dancing ghosts, and serpents beginning to stir, “Spirit Speaks” creates a vivid landscape where spiritual awakening and psychological turmoil collide.

For fans of Acid Bath, Monster Magnet, and Monolord, Ghost Pipe delivers a potent blend of stoner rock grooves, doom metal weight, and heavy psychedelia. The band's sound balances fuzz-drenched heaviness with an expansive, otherworldly atmosphere, creating music that feels equally suited to a smoke-filled basement and a midnight journey into the unknown.

At the heart of “Spirit Speaks” is the idea that confronting darkness can be a necessary step toward healing. Rather than running from pain or burying uncomfortable truths, the song urges listeners to shed the weight of the past, challenge what they believe they know, and face the fears that keep them trapped.

The lyrics move through surreal, dreamlike imagery, depicting a descent into a dark forest where spectral figures beckon the listener toward buried truths. As the journey unfolds, the ghosts become more than ominous presences. They emerge as guides through the process of self-discovery, leading toward a confrontation with the deepest fears and wounds of the soul.

Images of fraying mental seams, silver threads, and a coiled serpent reinforce the song's themes of unraveling, release, and renewal. The forest becomes a place of transformation, where the darkness within is no longer something to escape but something to understand.

With its repeated calls to cast off old burdens and break free from confinement, “Spirit Speaks” captures the tension between the comfort of familiar patterns and the uncertainty of personal change. Its message is direct: growth requires facing what hurts, questioning what holds you back, and finding the strength to move forward.

The track offers another glimpse into the broader vision behind The Awakening, an album that explores introspection, transformation, and the pursuit of knowledge hidden beneath the surface. Rather than offering easy answers, Ghost Pipe invites listeners to open their minds, look inward, and confront the parts of themselves that are easier to leave in the shadows.

“The Awakening” is a journey beneath the surface, into the dark roots of the self, the band explains. “It asks you to open your mind, confront what lies hidden within, and face the parts of yourself that are easier to leave in the shadows.”

That philosophy runs throughout the album, connecting its heavy psychedelic sound with themes of personal evolution, hidden knowledge, and the uneasy territory between the conscious and subconscious mind. On “Spirit Speaks,” those ideas take shape through an unsettling, dreamlike narrative that blurs the line between haunting visions and hard truths.

The album was recorded and mixed by Joel Ferguson of The Verve Pipe at Planet Sunday Studio and mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering, known for his work with artists across the underground heavy music scene, including Elder. The album artwork was created by Nathan Galusa, with photography by Jessica Taboada and logo design by Ganda Wiraga II. Tommy Stewart serves as executive producer.

Ghost Pipe features Allen Milbourne on vocals and effects, Travis Federau on guitar and vocals, Wyatt Federau on guitar and samples, Georg Rumpf on bass and synthesizer, and Simon Hill on drums. Together, the five-piece draws from stoner rock, heavy psych, sludge, doom metal, and doomgaze to create a dense, immersive sound that rewards listeners willing to venture beyond the familiar.

With “Spirit Speaks,” Ghost Pipe continues to expand the world of The Awakening, delivering a heavy, atmospheric trip through the shadows of the mind and the possibility of emerging from them changed.

The ghosts are calling. The forest is waiting. The question is whether you're ready to listen.

Ukrainian Metal Band KB Projeckt Unleash Powerful EP “Малюнок (Malynok)” Recorded Amid the War - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Ukrainian Metal Band KB Projeckt Unleash Powerful EP “Малюнок (Malynok)” Recorded Amid the War

Blending Alternative Rock and Heavy Metal with Old-School Riffs, Memorable Melodies, and a Story of Perseverance

Hailing from Ukraine, KB Projeckt deliver a powerful combination of alternative rock and heavy metal on their EP, “Малюнок (Malynok),” released December 1, 2025. Driven by heavy guitar work, melodic passages, and a sound that recalls the spirit of 2000s rock and metal, the release showcases a band determined to keep creating music despite extraordinary circumstances.

The EP carries a story that reaches far beyond the music itself. Recorded during the war in Ukraine, the sessions took place amid missile explosions, constant power outages, and an exceptionally difficult winter for the country. Despite the challenges surrounding them, KB Projeckt pushed forward and completed the record.

For the band members, the experience of making the EP was inseparable from the reality of life in a country at war. Yet, rather than allowing those circumstances to silence their creative work, the band persevered and brought the release to life.

“Малюнок (Malynok)” consists of five conceptual songs exploring addiction and its consequences. The EP examines the destructive outcomes associated with addictive behaviors, giving the release a thematic foundation that extends beyond its heavy instrumentation. Combined with the band's guitar-driven sound, the concept adds another dimension to a record created under extraordinary circumstances.

Musically, “Малюнок (Malynok)” looks back to the sound and spirit of 2000s rock and metal, with a particular emphasis on guitar solos and the kind of instrumental work that longtime fans of the genre continue to appreciate. The band's sound combines the weight of heavy metal with the accessibility and alternative edge of hard-hitting rock.

Ukrainian music media have compared KB Projeckt's sound to Godsmack, Rage, and Black Label Society, offering listeners a starting point for understanding the band's approach. However, KB Projeckt bring their own identity to the table, shaped by their musical influences, guitar-driven songwriting, and the circumstances under which this EP was created.

The band has also received praise from Ukrainian music media for its command of its chosen style, with coverage highlighting the difficulty of finding comparable acts within the country's music scene.

“Малюнок (Malynok)” was recorded, mixed, and mastered at KS Records, bringing the EP's heavy instrumentation and melodic elements together in a cohesive production.

More than a collection of songs, “Малюнок (Malynok)” stands as a testament to persistence, creativity, and the determination to keep making music when circumstances are anything but ordinary. For fans of riff-driven rock and metal who appreciate strong guitar work, thought-provoking themes, and a connection to the genre's early-2000s sound, KB Projeckt offer a release worth exploring.

Listen to “Малюнок (Malynok)”


The EP is available on major digital music platforms.

FALSE MESSIAH RELEASE “HOLD THE LINE – NO SURRENDER REWORK,” THE FINAL CHAPTER OF DEBUT ALBUM SEVEN - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FALSE MESSIAH RELEASE “HOLD THE LINE – NO SURRENDER REWORK,” THE FINAL CHAPTER OF DEBUT ALBUM SEVEN

Cinematic Symphonic Dark Power Metal Project Unleashes a Reimagined Anthem of Resistance Featuring Craig Cairns of Tailgunner and Carolina P. on October 28, 2026

PRE-SAVE NOW:
https://idol-io.ffm.to/holdtheline">
https://idol-io.ffm.to/holdtheline />
False Messiah returns with “Hold the Line – No Surrender Rework,” a reimagined version of the track that serves as the final chapter of Seven, the project's debut album. Arriving October 28, 2026, through Semetery Records, the release brings together dark, cinematic symphonic metal, modern guitar work, and electronic tension, featuring Craig Cairns of Tailgunner alongside Carolina P.

Within the dystopian universe of False Messiah, the Seven make their final stand to protect the refugees and survivors under their care. Their only hope is to reach the Sanctuary, a refuge offering humanity one last chance at survival. But this final battle comes without promises of victory, with success hanging by a thread. There is no retreat and no alternative. There is only the determination to hold the line.

“The Seven may have fallen, but Humanity still stands.”

That sentiment drives the track's emotional core, bringing the story of Seven to a dramatic conclusion. More than a tale of battlefield resistance, the song embodies the will to endure when everything seems lost, standing firm in the face of overwhelming odds.

A CINEMATIC SOUNDTRACK TO HUMANITY'S LAST STAND


Combining massive guitars, intense vocal melodies, cinematic arrangements, and immersive storytelling, False Messiah has developed a distinctive identity within the modern metal landscape. The project explores a world shaped by corrupt systems, machines, and automated warfare, where hidden sanctuaries become humanity's final line of defense.

But the conflict extends beyond the battlefield.

Beneath the epic scale of its fictional universe, False Messiah examines the psychological consequences of collapse, uncertainty, and survival. Its songs explore the moments when convictions are challenged, familiar symbols lose their meaning, and the fight to remain human becomes as difficult as the struggle to stay alive.

Those themes converge in this climactic reworking, balancing the grandeur of symphonic metal with the tension and desperation of a final stand. The contributions of Craig Cairns and Carolina P. further strengthen the track's dramatic character, adding to the project's expansive musical vision.

AN UNCONVENTIONAL PROJECT WITH A HUMANIST CORE


In just over a year, False Messiah has earned a warm reception from journalists, reviewers, and influencers throughout the international metal scene.

Rather than following a conventional band model, the project builds its identity around the music, a striking visual aesthetic, and a humanist message delivered through a carefully constructed dystopian universe. Although the project's choral collective does not perform live, its creative foundation remains rooted in real-world experiences and genuine human emotion.

False Messiah invites listeners into a world where the line between technological domination and human freedom grows increasingly fragile. Its music serves as both a soundtrack to that struggle and a reflection of the internal battles people face when their beliefs, identities, and futures are threatened.

For fans of Nightwish, Epica, Within Temptation, Arch Enemy, In This Moment, and Sabaton, the project offers a compelling blend of cinematic atmosphere, symphonic grandeur, dark power metal, and modern heaviness.

As Seven reaches its conclusion, this final chapter delivers a transmission from a world on the brink of collapse, reminding listeners that even when victory is uncertain, resistance remains a choice.

The line must hold. Humanity must survive.
