GHOST PIPE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE UNKNOWN WITH NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THE AWAKENING - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GHOST PIPE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE UNKNOWN WITH NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THE AWAKENING

Grand Rapids, Michigan Stoner/Doom Outfit Delivers a Dense, Psychedelic Journey Into Darkness, Transformation, and Self-Discovery


GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Grand Rapids, Michigan stoner/doom metal outfit Ghost Pipe has unleashed a new single from its forthcoming full-length album The Awakening , offering listeners a first glimpse into a record built around crushing riffs, swirling psychedelia, introspection, and the darker corners of the human experience.

Blending elements of stoner rock, heavy psych, doom metal, sludge, and doomgaze , Ghost Pipe creates a sound that feels equally at home in a smoke-filled basement, a windswept forest, or somewhere far beyond the known universe. For fans of Acid Bath, Monster Magnet, and Monolord , the band's music moves between massive fuzz-driven grooves and expansive atmospheric passages, creating a sonic landscape that is heavy without sacrificing depth or imagination.

The new single serves as an introduction to the world of The Awakening , an album that challenges listeners to look beyond the surface and confront the parts of themselves that are often left unexplored.




“The Awakening is a journey beneath the surface, into the dark roots of the self. 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. Like roots growing unseen beneath the earth, the deepest knowledge often comes from places we rarely choose to explore. These songs move through darkness, transformation, and the strange spaces between the known and unknown. What you find down there is yours to carry, and yours to grow from.”




Rather than simply delivering another collection of heavy songs, Ghost Pipe approaches The Awakening as a cerebral experience , encouraging the listener to open their mind, look inward, and grow through the knowledge discovered along the way.

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 , whose extensive credits include mastering and remastering work for artists including Elder. The record's visual identity comes through artwork by Nathan Galusa , with photography by Jessica Taboada .

Ghost Pipe's lineup features:

Allen Milbourne – Vocals, Effects
Travis Federau – Guitar, Vocals
Wyatt Federau – Guitar, Samples
Georg Rumpf – Bass, Synthesizer
Simon Hill – Drums

All music by Ghost Pipe.

The Awakening will be released through Black Doomba Records on November 20, 2026 , with the album's pre-sale beginning October 30, 2026 .

For Ghost Pipe, The Awakening is an invitation to go deeper. Beneath the distortion, the feedback, the massive grooves, and the psychedelic haze is a record about confronting what lives beneath the surface and emerging with something new.

The journey has begun.

HELLIR DESCENDS DEEPER INTO THE DARKNESS WITH NEW EP HOLLOW MOON; APHELION - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HELLIR DESCENDS DEEPER INTO THE DARKNESS WITH NEW EP HOLLOW MOON; APHELION


Solo Blackened Progressive Metal Project Unleashes the Heavier, Angrier Second Chapter of the Hollow Moon Trilogy on October 26, 2026


There is something inherently unsettling about being alive. The weight of existence, the darkness beneath the surface, and the things that linger in the spaces between despair and release all become fuel for hellir , the solo blackened progressive metal project of Daniel Shaneyfelt .

On October 26, 2026 , hellir will release hollow moon; aphelion , the second installment in the project's planned Hollow Moon trilogy. Following the singles “nebula” and “glint,” the new EP pushes hellir's sound into heavier, angrier, and more punishing territory while continuing to leave room for unexpected turns.




“The second installment in the hollow moon trilogy. Heavier, angrier, meaner, with a couple surprises along the way.”




That description gets straight to the point. hellir isn't interested in staying inside the boundaries of a single sound. The project moves freely between delicate piano passages, electronic and techno-inspired elements, atmospheric textures, and crushing heaviness, creating a soundscape that can shift from fragile to devastating without warning.

At the center of it all is a bleak examination of what it means to be alive.

Inspired by the intensity and genre-bending approach that may appeal to fans of Nott, Humanity's Last Breath, and Rolo Tomassi , hellir takes progressive metal into darker and more unpredictable territory. The contrast is essential to the project's identity. Moments of restraint give the heavier sections even more impact, while electronic elements and unconventional textures add another layer to the darkness.

Entirely written, produced, mixed, and mastered by Daniel Shaneyfelt in his home studio, hollow moon; aphelion is a fully independent release with every aspect of its creation handled by the project's sole member.

With hollow moon; aphelion , hellir continues building its own bleak universe and moves the larger trilogy one step closer to its conclusion. The moon is still hollow. The journey is getting darker.

hellir's hollow moon; aphelion arrives October 26, 2026.

DIRELANDS UNLEASH CRUSHING NEW SINGLE “LEVIATHAN” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE





DIRELANDS UNLEASH CRUSHING NEW SINGLE “LEVIATHAN”



Houston Doom, Stoner, and Sludge Quartet Continues the Road to Altars With Another Dose of Riff-Driven Destruction


Houston, Texas heavy quartet Direlands have officially unleashed their crushing new single “Leviathan,” the latest chapter in the band’s ongoing campaign toward their forthcoming full-length album, Altars , due January 20, 2027.

Built from the weight and atmosphere of doom, the grit of Gulf Coast sludge, and the muscular attack of stoner metal, “Leviathan” further establishes the sound Direlands have been developing throughout their recent releases. Massive riffs, dynamic songwriting, and a sense of scale give the track the feeling of a soundtrack to a world already collapsing around it.

“Lay waste to the damned!”

“Leviathan” follows the release of “The Wizard” on August 26 and marks the second scheduled chapter in Direlands' carefully planned rollout for Altars . With the latest single now available, the band will continue unleashing new material throughout the coming months, including “Blood Moon” on October 22, “Ancients” on November 19, and “Doombringer” on December 16.

The campaign will culminate with the release of Altars on January 20, 2027 , followed by additional promotional activity surrounding tracks including “Darkest Light,” “Iron God,” “Irony God,” “Mourning Bell,” and “In My Eyes.”

Direlands features Troy Binegar on guitar, Jarett Dureell on vocals, Austin Clark on bass, and Tom Heyman on drums. The Houston quartet has carved out its own place within the American heavy underground, sharing stages with acts including The Obsessed, Duel, Warlung, and Stone Nomads .

The band's sound draws from heavy metal, atmospheric doom, and Gulf Coast sludge, combining technically sharp musicianship with precise, riff-driven arrangements and volatile vocal dynamics. For listeners drawn to the crushing heaviness of Mastodon, High On Fire, and Down , Direlands delivers a similarly weighty experience while maintaining its own distinct identity.

The band's foundation was established through the releases The Cave You Fear and Ascension , before Direlands began building toward Altars with the anthemic “Iron God.” The forthcoming album represents the next stage in that progression, bringing together the band's heavy, atmospheric approach with a deliberate visual identity and uncompromising live presence.

With “Leviathan” now available, Direlands continue laying the groundwork for Altars one crushing riff at a time.

“Leviathan” is out now.

ANOTHER DEMON BRINGS OLD-SCHOOL THRASH FURY AND DEATH-METAL WEIGHT WITH “REDUCED TO ASH” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ANOTHER DEMON BRINGS OLD-SCHOOL THRASH FURY AND DEATH-METAL WEIGHT WITH “REDUCED TO ASH”

New York City Thrash Attackers Spotlight Fan-Favorite Track From As Above So Below Following Massive Battle of the Bands Victories and October 2026 Band of the Month Honors


NEW YORK CITY, NY — New York City thrash metal force Another Demon is turning up the heat with “Reduced to Ash,” a crushing focus track from the band's As Above So Below EP, originally released in 2023 and re-released worldwide in 2026 through Bloodrite Covenant Records with Earache Digital Distribution .

Blending the speed and aggression of classic thrash with death-metal weight, hardcore influence and a darker modern edge, “Reduced to Ash” delivers the kind of unapologetic, riff-driven attack that has defined heavy metal for generations.

For fans of Slayer, Testament and Overkill , Another Demon brings together veteran musicians from the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut heavy-music scene for a sound that is both rooted in the old school and built for the present.

The current lineup features Max Capshaw on vocals, Frank Tosi and Jun Takeshita on lead guitars, Fred Romer on bass and Dave English on drums.

Originally released September 22, 2023 as part of As Above So Below , the EP has found new life through its 2026 worldwide re-release. The record also features a guest appearance from legendary guitarist James Murphy , known for his work with Death, Testament, Obituary and Cancer.

“Reduced to Ash” is a particularly strong introduction to the band's sound.




“‘Reduced to Ash’ is probably one of the best introductions to what Another Demon is about. It’s fast, aggressive and rooted in the thrash metal we grew up on, but there’s also that darker death-metal and New York edge underneath it. We wanted something immediate that hits hard without overcomplicating what a great metal song is supposed to do.”







— Frank Tosi, Another Demon




The track has also received serious praise from some respected names in the metal world.




“Another Demon is some of the best new Thrash Death out there. Glad to be a part of it. The music shreds and crushes!”







— James Murphy
Death / Testament / Obituary / Cancer







“Frank writes great metal. Full of shredding evil guitars and catchy songwriting. I could listen to this all day!”







— Karl Sanders
Nile




FROM BATTLE OF THE BANDS CHAMPIONS TO MDR BAND OF THE MONTH


Another Demon has also been building an increasingly vocal following through Metal Devastation Radio's Battle of the Bands , where the band has proven its ability to command an enormous audience.

Earlier in 2026, Another Demon captured a massive victory in the Battle of the Bands before being named Metal Devastation Radio's Band of the Month for July 2026 , winning with an astonishing 78,786,044 votes .

And they weren't finished.

After another dominant Battle of the Bands performance in September, Another Demon has once again taken the crown and has been named Metal Devastation Radio's Band of the Month for October 2026 , this time with an insane 27,455,987 votes .

That kind of fan response has made Another Demon one of the standout acts in the MDR community and adds another chapter to the band's growing momentum.

A NEW CHAPTER IS ALREADY UNDERWAY


While “Reduced to Ash” puts the spotlight on As Above So Below , Another Demon is already looking toward what comes next.

The band has completed production on 10 new songs , with Jason Bittner of Shadows Fall, formerly of Overkill, handling drum recording and Richie Kennon of Subzero and Barking Dog Studios producing.

The next chapter promises to push Another Demon's aggressive combination of thrash, death metal and New York hardcore influence even further.

As Above So Below was produced by Frank Tosi, Max Capshaw and Richie Kennon , with Kennon also handling engineering, mixing and mastering. The EP was recorded at Barking Dog Studios in New York .

With a reissued EP, a massive and growing fanbase, two Battle of the Bands victories, consecutive MDR Band of the Month honors and an entirely new body of music on the horizon, Another Demon is proving that the New York metal tradition is still very much alive.

“Reduced to Ash” is available now.

GHANGES ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ABRÍ LOS OJOS - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

GHANGES RELEASE NEW ALBUM ABRÍ LOS OJOS


Buenos Aires Alternative Rock/Metal Band Delivers Nine Tracks of Heavy Guitars, Introspection, and Raw Emotional Weight


González Catán, Buenos Aires, Argentina | Independent alternative rock/metal band Ghanges have officially released their new nine-track album, Abrí los ojos , available now through FirstWave Canada .

Blending alternative rock, grunge, metal, and industrial influences, Ghanges builds its sound around heavy guitars, powerful rhythms, atmospheric textures, and direct, introspective lyrics. The result is a record that embraces both the weight and vulnerability of modern alternative music while maintaining a distinctly personal identity.

Abrí los ojos , which translates to Open Your Eyes , explores reality, inner conflict, personal struggles, and the questions that often remain beneath the surface. Rather than delivering easy answers, Ghanges uses its music to challenge listeners to confront difficult truths, question what surrounds them, and search for their own meaning within the chaos of everyday life.

For fans of Seether, Staind, and Three Days Grace , Ghanges offers a heavy yet melodic approach that connects the emotional directness of alternative rock with the darker textures of metal and industrial music.

Formed in González Catán, Buenos Aires , Ghanges operates with a strong DIY philosophy and an uncompromising commitment to creative freedom. The band's music exists outside rigid genre boundaries, allowing them to move naturally between crushing guitar-driven passages, atmospheric moments, and emotionally charged songwriting.

At the center of Ghanges' approach is authenticity. Their songs are rooted in personal experience and observation, addressing struggles that are familiar to anyone who has questioned their surroundings or wrestled with their own thoughts. Abrí los ojos continues that evolution, presenting nine tracks built around honesty, intensity, and a constant desire to grow.

The album was produced by Ghanges and engineer Rodrigo Paez , with recording and mixing handled at Kuervo Estudio by Ing. Rodrigo Paez . FirstWave Canada handles management.

With Abrí los ojos now available worldwide, Ghanges continues carving out its own place within Argentina's alternative rock scene, delivering music that is heavy, atmospheric, emotionally direct, and unwilling to look away from the darker realities of life.
