BLACK REUSS FEATURED IN METAL INJECTION’S WEEKLY NEW RELEASES


Swiss One-Man Melodic Gothic Metal Project Drops Fourth Album DEATH

Swiss melodic gothic metal visionary Black Reuss , the one-man project of Maurizio Dottore , has been featured in Metal Injection’s weekly injection of new releases , sharing space with heavyweights like Rob Zombie, Carpenter Brut, Blackwater Drowning, Cryptic Shift, Doomsday Astronaut, Necrofier, Nothing, Unverkalt, and A Wilhelm Scream . The spotlight comes as Black Reuss releases his fourth full-length album, Death , via Golden Robot Records .

“Death isn’t an ending—it’s a passage,” says Dottore. “This album dives into the currents beneath the surface, where identity dissolves and truth becomes quiet. I want listeners to connect with that flow and experience it live on stage.”

Death features drums by Diego Rapacchietti (Coroner) , with production, mixing, and mastering handled by Roberto Macis and Giovanni Versari , and vocals captured by Roberto De Luca . Dottore wrote, composed, performed, and produced the album, creating a fully immersive gothic metal journey.

The album follows Black Reuss’ previous releases:

Metamorphosis (2021) – the turbulent birth of transformation

Journey (2022) – navigating self-understanding

Arrival (2023) – clarity, acceptance, and inner strength

With Death , Black Reuss delivers music for fans of Type O Negative, Katatonia, and Black Sabbath , blending melancholic melodies, heavy riffs, and emotional depth.

BLACKBRAID Unleashes New EP 'Nocturnal Womb' With Music Video Premiere


Indigenous solo black metal force BLACKBRAID is back, delivering a chilling new EP, Nocturnal Womb , set for independent release this Friday, March 6.

Shot by Moshmallows at Stockholm’s Kollektivet Livet Bar & Scen, the video captures the raw energy of Blackbraid’s ravenous Swedish fanbase.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DETERIOROT Unleashes Haunting New Single, "The Bataan Death March"

NJ/NC death metal legends Deteriorot are back with their latest single, "The Bataan Death March" , a chilling dive into one of World War II’s darkest chapters. The track is one of two exclusive new songs featured on the 2026 Deluxe Edition of their acclaimed album Echoes From The Past , available now on vinyl and digitally.

"This song is a tribute to the thousands of soldiers who suffered and died during that horrific event," says Deteriorot’s vocalist. "It reflects the inner toll of conflict and the disillusionment it leaves behind."

The 2026 Deluxe Edition of Echoes From The Past also includes a remastered catalog of Deteriorot’s classic tracks and a second bonus song, "Fallen Misery" . This release offers fans a deep, immersive look at the band’s evolution, combining historical reflection with relentless death metal intensity.

Killswitch Engage Announce Massive Summer 2026 U.S. Headline Tour - @thebeast

Killswitch Engage Announce Massive Summer 2026 U.S. Headline Tour


Massachusetts metalcore titans Killswitch Engage are loading up the bus and taking no prisoners this summer. The band has officially announced a headline U.S. tour set to kick off June 3 in Detroit and wrap up June 27 in San Francisco, marking their first full U.S. run since last year’s Summer of Loud trek.

If you’ve been waiting to scream every word back at Jesse Leach, this is your moment.

The tour comes in support of their latest album This Consequence , out now via Metal Blade Records . The record has already made serious noise, fueled by the Top 5 single “I Believe,” which climbed to No. 3, and a successful Winter/Spring 2025 run that proved KsE are still swinging harder than ever.

A Lineup Built for Total Destruction


This isn’t just a tour. It’s a stacked bill that reads like a metal fan’s dream.

Joining KsE on the road:

Machine Head

Iron Reagan

Havok

Yes, that Machine Head. And yes, Robb Flynn is bringing the heat.

Jesse Leach didn’t hold back on the hype: he’s fired up to hit major cities with what he calls an absolutely killer lineup. With thrash fury, hardcore grit, and modern metal precision all packed into one bill, this one is built to electrify and dominate every stop.

Festival Appearances Included


Along the way, the tour will hit major festival stages, including:

Milwaukee Metal Fest

DC Warped Tour

Festival sets plus headline club and theater dates means fans get both the big-stage spectacle and the up-close chaos.

25 Years and Still Crushing


Formed in 2000 in Western Massachusetts, Killswitch Engage helped define early 2000s heavy music by fusing European-inspired guitar precision with East Coast hardcore intensity. Their 2002 breakthrough Alive or Just Breathing became a genre benchmark, while The End of Heartache earned gold certification and As Daylight Dies went platinum.

With three Grammy nominations, multiple Top 10 Billboard debuts, nearly 3 billion streams, and countless sold-out tours alongside the likes of Iron Maiden, Slipknot, and Slayer, KsE have long since moved from rising stars to certified pillars of modern metal.

Now celebrating 25 years as one of the most vital bands of the 2000s metal movement, they’re proving once again that consistency, passion, and road-warrior grit still matter.

Bottom line? This summer run is not a nostalgia lap. It’s a statement.

Killswitch Engage are back on the road, armed with a fresh record, a brutal supporting cast, and something to prove. If this tour rolls through your city, you already know what to do.

Machine Cult Ritual Announces Debut Album Occult Mechanics Out April 3 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Machine Cult Ritual Announces Debut Album Occult Mechanics Out April 3

Denmark’s industrial underground is about to get a whole lot heavier.

Machine Cult Ritual will unleash its debut full-length album, Occult Mechanics , on April 3 via LÆBEL on all major streaming platforms and Bandcamp. A strictly limited edition cassette will also be available in the United States through Dungeon Squid Productions for those who still believe music should feel dangerous in your hands.

Founded in 2025, Machine Cult Ritual is the industrial death doom brainchild of Danish composer and producer John R. Mirland , also known as Mirland. If that name rings a bell, it should. Mirland has built an international reputation in the industrial and dark ambient scenes through a steady stream of solo releases and production work. Now he turns the dial toward the abyss.

Occult Mechanics fuses crushing doom riffs, punishing drum machines, corrosive synth textures, and cavernous growls into a sound that is as mechanical as it is suffocating. It is industrial death doom done with intent, not trend chasing. Fans of Godflesh , Paradise Lost , and the Filth Pig era of Ministry will find themselves right at home in this bleak, grinding landscape.

Lyrically, the album dives headfirst into folk horror and cosmic terror, weaving tales of ancient dread and mechanical inevitability. The result feels like ritual music for a post-industrial wasteland. Cold, oppressive, and strangely hypnotic.

Mirland’s first step into metal came with the 2021 black metal mini album Liv Uden Liv , released under the name Udpint. With Machine Cult Ritual, he pulls together every thread from his past work, from extreme metal to dark ambient to industrial noise, and forges it into something cohesive and unapologetically heavy.

Produced and mastered by Mirland himself, Occult Mechanics is not a side project. It is a statement. Precision engineered despair with weight behind every note.

Occult Mechanics drops April 3 on all major streaming services and Bandcamp:

https://machinecultritual.bandcamp.com/album/occult-mechanics

Digital and streaming release via LÆBEL. Limited US cassette edition through Dungeon Squid Productions.

Prepare accordingly.

Titan Arum Unleash “The Phantom of the North” Out Now via Camazots Records - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Titan Arum Unleash “The Phantom of the North” Out Now via Camazots Records

Release Date: February 27, 2026
FFO: Blind Guardian , Ensiferum , Falconer
Genre: Power Metal, Melodic Death Metal

Titan Arum have released their brand new single, “The Phantom of the North,” the first of several upcoming tracks set to arrive in 2026. Blending soaring power metal heroics with a sharp edge of melodic death metal, the band continues to carve out a sound that feels both epic and untamed.

Rooted in a deep appreciation for their local arts community in Peterborough, Titan Arum enlisted artist Nyx to create the artwork for the single. Given full creative freedom, Nyx channeled the band’s dark fairy tale themes and animal-driven imagery into a striking visual companion piece that perfectly mirrors the music’s atmosphere.

Musically, “The Phantom of the North” is an owl-themed power metal epic with a flash of the band’s signature melodic death metal intensity. The lyrics tell an original tale of a mystical owl pursued across dimensions by relentless enemies. The track also features audio sampling from The Secret of NIMH , whose own mysterious owl mythology made it a natural fit for the song’s narrative world.

For production, Titan Arum once again turned to the trusted ears of Tyler Martin at Electric Alchemy for mixing, with mastering handled by Steve Kilpatrick. The result is a polished yet powerful track that captures both cinematic scope and raw metal energy.

DISTANT Announces New Single Spirit Featuring Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DISTANT Announces New Single Spirit Featuring Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life


Release Date: March 4, 2026
Genre: Deathcore
Label: Century Media Records

DISTANT , a formidable force in the deathcore genre hailing from Rotterdam, Netherlands, and Bratislava, Slovakia , returns with their most personal single yet, Spirit , featuring Tyler Beam of The Last Ten Seconds Of Life . The track channels raw human emotion, inspired by a real-life stabbing of a family member at a clinic called Spirit. " Spirit is one of Distant’s most personal releases to date," the band states. "It channels grief, shock, and the uncomfortable surge of rage and revenge that follows trauma. It’s raw emotion turned into relentless sound—not to glorify violence, but to confront it."

Formed in 2014 by bassist Elmer Maurits and guitarist Nouri Yetgin , DISTANT quickly established themselves on the global deathcore stage with their debut EP Tsukuyomi (2017) and first full-length Tyrannotophia (2019, Unique Leader Records). Their sound continued to evolve with Aeons of Oblivion (2021) and, under a three-album deal with Century Media Records, Heritage (2023), which showcased a faster, more technical, and produced deathcore experience.

DISTANT’s music is not just sound, it’s storytelling. Their expansive fictional universe—including narratives like The Rise of Tyrannotophia —forms the foundation for lyrics and compositions, giving each release depth beyond the pit. Their live shows, renowned for energy and precision, have sold out venues across Europe and the United States, cementing the band’s reputation as a global deathcore powerhouse.

Production Credits: Mix by Nouri Yetgin ; Master by Nouri Yetgin and Roelof Klop
