Element of Fate to Release Debut Album Dreamfall on July 27, 2026 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Element of Fate to Release Debut Album Dreamfall on July 27, 2026

Washington, DC / Portland, OR – Element of Fate, the US-based melodic heavy metal duo known for blending classic heavy metal with symphonic, gothic, and progressive elements, is set to release their debut album, Dreamfall , on July 27, 2026 via Bravemusic.

Dreamfall is described by the band as “an album born from creative struggle, resilience, and the quiet strength it takes to keep moving forward.” The album traces an emotional journey from darkness toward light, capturing themes of inner struggle, transformation, and personal resilience through cinematic storytelling and musical exploration.

Produced and mastered by John Mario of JBG Records, Dreamfall delivers a sound that melds powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and intricate arrangements. Fans of Nightwish, Judas Priest, Seven Spires, Lacuna Coil, and Dio will find familiar inspiration, yet Element of Fate’s style stands uniquely in its own lane—drawing comparisons to what one fan described as “if Iron Maiden and Nightwish had a baby.”

Formed in the Washington, DC area and operating between DC and Portland, Oregon, Element of Fate consists of vocalist and visual artist Carol Phillips (Madame Crol) and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Scott Loose. Through fantasy, mystical, and sci-fi themes, the duo crafts a sweeping sonic experience that goes beyond strict genre boundaries.

To celebrate the release, Element of Fate will launch a Kickstarter campaign for Dreamfall on April 17, 2026, featuring exclusive rewards and a music video for the album. Fans can preview and support the album here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/carolphillipsart/dreamfall. In the meantime, teaser content will begin rolling out on YouTube starting late March to give fans a taste of the cinematic world of Dreamfall .

Dreamfall will be available for streaming and purchase starting July 27, 2026, at

Metal Devastation Radio and PR Crack 23.4 Million Views and Snag Another Google Search Trophy - @thebeast

Metal Devastation Radio and PR Crack 23.4 Million Views and Snag Another Google Search Trophy

January kicked the year off with boots on throats and amps on 11. The underground didn’t take a holiday, and Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR came out swinging with another monster month that proves this machine is only picking up speed.

Once again, Google coughed up another shiny Search Trophy after clocking 805,000 impressions in January. No gimmicks, no pay-to-play fairy tales, just real reach powered by the global metal underground doing what it does best.

Another Month, Another Wall Smashed

January’s numbers hit like a double kick to the chest:

• 167,000 active users holding down the underground
• 166,000 new users finding the noise and staying for the chaos
• 328,000 total views ripping across the site
• 1,000,000 tracked events clicks, streams, submissions, and all the beautiful mayhem in between

All-time total views now stand at a brutal 23,477,539 . That is not a fluke. That is consistency, grind, and a scene that refuses to play dead.

Straight From the Frontlines

“It’s wild watching this thing keep growing month after month,” says Zach Moonshine.
“Crossing 23.4 million views just tells me the underground is alive, loud, and still hungry. These Google trophies are cool, but what really matters is that bands are getting heard and fans are actually showing up. The algorithms don’t get to decide what matters. We do.”

Fueled by the Underground

This milestone belongs to the whole ecosystem:

• Bands and labels bringing the heavy and the real
• Zines and media keeping metal documented and dangerous
• Fans worldwide clicking, sharing, and spreading the word like a plague
• DJs and staff keeping Metal Devastation Radio blasting 24/7
• Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest turning online noise into real-world carnage

Every stream, every click, every submission pushes this thing further out of the shadows.

What’s Next

With 23.4 million views in the rearview and the momentum still climbing, the mission stays the same. Champion real bands. Cut through industry nonsense. Keep giving the underground a megaphone that actually works.

“If you’re heavy and you’re real,” Moonshine adds,
“Metal Devastation is built for you. Real listeners, global reach, and a scene that actually gives a damn. This isn’t just promo. It’s a movement.”

Thank You

This milestone belongs to everyone who streamed, clicked, submitted, shared, and backed the underground. This scene does not fade out. It adapts, it grows, and it gets louder every damn month.

About Metal Devastation Radio and PR

Founded in 2013, Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR are global pillars of underground and independent metal. With nonstop radio, hands-on PR campaigns, and a widely read online zine, they continue pushing DIY heavy music worldwide.

Helldrifter, Infest (Serbia), Outburst, and VULNIFICUS - Featured in Necromance Magazine - @thebeast

Metal Devastation PR Clients Featured And Reviewed In Latest Issue Of Necromance Magazine

Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that clients Helldrifter, Infest (Serbia), Outburst, and VULNIFICUS are featured in the latest issue of the legendary Necromance Magazine, with all four bands receiving strong critical praise for their recent releases.

Helldrifter’s Shell of Inexistence (Violent Creek Records) earned an 8/10 score, praised for blending the melodic ferocity of old At The Gates with the technical brutality of late era Death. The album was highlighted for its visceral songwriting, strong production, and immersive artwork that pulls listeners into a dark, nightmarish world.

VULNIFICUS’ Inclination (Comatose Music) also scored an 8/10, with Necromance spotlighting the band’s swampy, putrid death metal attack, devastating heaviness, and surprising technical depth beneath the surface. Tracks like “Bacteria Backlash” and “Involuntary Incapacitated” were noted for their balance of brutality, speed, and intricate riff work.

Serbian death thrash veterans INFEST received an 8/10 for Ambassadors of Aggression (Violent Creek Records), with the album described as a savage and dynamic release rooted in classic influences such as Kreator, Slayer, and Sepultura. The review praised the album’s aggressive songwriting while also highlighting adventurous moments like the semi acoustic “Requiem for the Balkans.”

Outburst’s Devouring The Masses (Violent Creek Records) earned a solid 7.5/10, recognized for its raw, old school blend of thrash and speed metal in the true 80s tradition. The record was praised for its direct songwriting, energetic riffing, and stripped down production that stays true to the genre’s roots.

The latest issue of Necromance Magazine also features UNDEAD on the cover, along with in depth coverage of Demiurgon, The Medea Project, Infrahumano, Vanir, 3000 A.D., Eldfödd, Blood Red Throne, Shadow Rebels, Enragement, Heads For The Dead, and more.

With its continued dedication to real metal culture and underground credibility, Necromance Magazine remains a vital voice for the extreme metal scene worldwide.

Metal Injection Spotlights Lost Legacy’s Explosive Anaheim Performance with Metal Allegiance - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Metal Injection Spotlights Lost Legacy’s Explosive Anaheim Performance with Metal Allegiance

New York Power Metal Veterans Continue Their Comeback Momentum After Pandemic Setbacks

New York-based power metal force Lost Legacy are back in fighting form and gaining serious traction, following their recent high-profile performance alongside Metal Allegiance, Red Reign, and Chained Saint at the House of Blues in Anaheim. The January 22, 2026 show was captured by Metal Injection photographer Derek Tobias , with the outlet featuring Lost Legacy as part of their coverage of the night’s explosive performances.

Metal Injection praised the stacked bill and the intensity of the show, spotlighting Lost Legacy as they shared the stage with Metal Allegiance during a night that tore through Anaheim’s House of Blues and reminded fans why live metal still hits different when it is done right.

For Lost Legacy, the Anaheim appearance marks another major step forward in a long, hard-earned comeback story.

Their 2020 album In the Name of Freedom , released via Pure Steel Records , arrived just days before the global pandemic shut the world down, abruptly halting touring plans that included dates with Doro and other major acts.

“Everything changed overnight,” says guitarist and executive producer Jorge Pulido . “It was crushing. But we never gave up.”

Since 2022, Lost Legacy have steadily rebuilt their momentum, navigating lineup changes and a battered live scene while remaining selective about performances. The Metal Allegiance show, now backed by coverage from Metal Injection, stands as a clear signal that the band is back on serious footing.

Capturing Chaos: The Live Video That Almost Wasn’t

Determined to document the Anaheim performance, the band brought five cameras, including three shooting in 4K. Technical issues nearly killed the project when one camera broke during transport, another failed mid-show, and the venue’s soundboard recording was accidentally stopped by the audio engineer.

With no professional audio track to rely on, the band reconstructed the performance using camera mic audio alone.

“It wasn’t ideal,” Pulido admits. “But we blended what we had and made it work. It’s raw, but it is honest. That night meant a lot to us, and we wanted to preserve it.”

About the Album

In the Name of Freedom was produced, mixed, and mastered by Tom Tullota , with executive production by Jorge Pulido . The album delivers classic power metal energy with heavy riffs and melodic storytelling rooted in themes of resilience, freedom, and perseverance. Fans of Metal Church, Fates Warning, Metal Allegiance, and Testament will feel right at home.

What’s Next for Lost Legacy

With a new album slated for release this fall and more live appearances in the works, Lost Legacy are entering their next chapter with renewed momentum. The band is currently booking interviews and seeking new performance opportunities as they reconnect with longtime supporters and bring in new fans worldwide.

Zero Tolerance Earn 8/10 Praise from Headbangers Australia for New Album A Test of Strength Out Now via Witches Brew Records - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Zero Tolerance Earn 8/10 Praise from Headbangers Australia for New Album A Test of Strength
Out Now via Witches Brew Records

Metal Devastation PR clients Zero Tolerance are gaining serious traction following a strong new review from Headbangers Australia , who awarded the band’s latest album A Test of Strength an 8/10 and praised the record for its discipline, focus, and pure thrash metal impact.

In their review, Headbangers Australia highlights Zero Tolerance’s no-nonsense approach to modern thrash, stating:




“Zero Tolerance’s A Test of Strength arrives with no pretense and no disguise. It is a straight line document of intent with eight tracks, thirty minutes, and no deviation from their mission… The Canadian quartet operates inside thrash’s classic framework, but they refuse to reenact it. They sharpen it, condense it, and strip it down to the core mechanics of velocity, articulation, and impact.”




The review goes on to spotlight standout tracks such as “Hexengeist,” “Leather Lung,” “Point Blank,” and “Breach for Terror,” noting the band’s understanding of momentum, tight execution, and controlled yet aggressive production. The title track “A Test of Strength” is praised as the album’s hinge point, while “Kill the Colony,” “N.O.Y.C.” and closing track “Incendiary” push the record to a focused, blistering finish.




“ A Test of Strength succeeds because of its refusal to excess. Zero Tolerance knows the lineage they’re entering, and they answer it with discipline, clarity, and complete impact.”
— Headbangers Australia (8/10)




With A Test of Strength out now via Witches Brew Records , Zero Tolerance continue to prove that modern thrash does not need gimmicks or nostalgia to hit hard. This is pure intent, pure aggression, and pure metal.
