DREAD WITCH Unleash “Altar” Official Video Featuring Sofia Schmidt as CULT Vinyl Sells Out in Under 24 Hours - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DREAD WITCH Unleash “Altar” Official Video Featuring Sofia Schmidt as CULT Vinyl Sells Out in Under 24 Hours

Danish Doom Metal Force DREAD WITCH Prepare to Unleash Their Second Full-Length Album October 31, With Exclusive International CD Distribution Through iMusic

Danish doom metal outfit DREAD WITCH have released the official music video for “Altar,” featuring Sofia Schmidt of Ethereal Kingdoms , offering another glimpse into the dark, cinematic world of their upcoming second full-length album, CULT , arriving October 31, 2026, through DHU Records, Bottomless Pit, and Gateway Music.

The anticipation surrounding CULT is already building. The album's vinyl edition sold out in less than 24 hours on the DHU Records website, demonstrating the demand for the band's uncompromising brand of dark, crushing doom metal. For fans looking to secure the CD edition, DREAD WITCH have also announced an exclusive deal with iMusic, which ships internationally. Outside of purchasing directly at the band's live shows, iMusic is the only place to obtain the CULT CD.

Watch the official video for “Altar” featuring Sofia Schmidt:


Featuring Schmidt in the role of the Dread Witch herself, “Altar” combines crushing doom metal, sinister atmosphere, and ritualistic intensity. Her guest performance adds another dimension to the track, delivering a performance that is both technically commanding and deeply unsettling.

Formed in Denmark in 2023 by former members of Scamp, Horned Almighty, Stone Cadaver, and The World State, DREAD WITCH emerged with a mission to create exceedingly heavy and dark doom metal inspired by horror literature, cult cinema, and the atmospheric experimentation of artists such as Pink Floyd and Triptykon.

With CULT , the band pushes that vision further into the abyss.

Spanning 36 minutes, the album unfolds like a horror film translated into sound. Colossal riffs, crushing percussion, ritualistic vocals, psychedelic textures, and oppressive atmospheres combine to create a bleak sonic landscape populated by serpents, witches, human sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors.

The album opens with “Born Again,” an unsettling instrumental in which the cries of a bawling infant collide with dissonant guitars, establishing the record's disturbing atmosphere from the outset. The title track, “Cult,” drives deeper into the darkness with bone-shattering riffs and sinister psychedelic textures, while “The Summoning” builds from occult chanting and eerie atmospheric passages into a crushing, groove-heavy finale.

“Cyclops” delivers the album's most direct and aggressive assault, unleashing a barrage of riffs built for serious headbanging. “Altar,” featuring Schmidt's commanding guest performance, offers a different shade of darkness before “Marrow” shifts gears with up-tempo death metal phrasing, staccato riffs, and the unexpected addition of a didgeridoo.

Instrumental “Vesexuff” serves as an ominous prelude to the monumental eight-minute closing track, “Omen of Oblivion,” bringing the journey to its final, devastating conclusion.

At the heart of CULT is an enormous wall of sound constructed from three low-tuned guitars, distorted bass, punishing drums, ritualistic vocals, and ambient textures. Despite its sheer weight, the album maintains a sense of dynamics and detail, allowing its darker atmospheric elements to breathe between moments of overwhelming heaviness.

The album was recorded at Antfarm Studios, with legendary Danish producer Tue Madsen , known for his work with Meshuggah, Belphegor, Baest, Moonspell, and The Haunted , handling production, mixing, and mastering. His extensive experience working with some of the most formidable names in heavy music makes him a fitting collaborator for DREAD WITCH's uncompromising sonic vision.

Artwork was created by Deliriavision, with layout by Andreas Cadaver.

DREAD WITCH previously established their reputation with their 2023 debut album, Tower of the Severed Serpent . Deathrattle Podcast praised the record for its “riffs of gravitational force and neutronium density,” while RockHard Italy described the band's sound as one that “capture [s] the listener in a magnetic whirlpool that is difficult to escape.”

With CULT , DREAD WITCH expand upon that foundation, delivering a darker, heavier, and more immersive statement that pushes their sound further into cinematic horror and crushing doom.

The vinyl is already gone. The darkness is just beginning.

MORRIGAN’S ECHOES UNLEASH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “YOU CAN’T HIDE” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MORRIGAN’S ECHOES UNLEASH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “YOU CAN’T HIDE”

Luxembourg’s modern symphonic metal force explores fear, paranoia, obsession and the terrifying possibility that the thing chasing you may actually be yourself


Release Date: October 13, 2026

Luxembourg’s Modern Symphonic Metal Band Explores Psychological Horror, Paranoia, and the Darkest Corners of the Human Mind


Luxembourg-based modern symphonic metal band Morrigan’s Echoes have officially released their haunting new single “You Can’t Hide,” delivering a dark and theatrical journey into fear, paranoia, and the blurred line between victim and pursuer.

Blending cinematic orchestration, powerful modern metal riffs, expressive vocals, haunting atmospheres, and occasional screams, Morrigan’s Echoes have developed a sound that balances beauty and brutality while pushing symphonic metal into darker, more contemporary territory. With “You Can’t Hide,” the band takes that approach into distinctly psychological horror territory.

The concept behind the single explores two sides of fear. On one level, it tells the story of someone being relentlessly followed by a person they cannot escape. But beneath that straightforward nightmare lies something considerably more disturbing: the possibility that the person doing the haunting and the person being hunted are one and the same.

“With ‘You Can’t Hide,’ we wanted to explore two sides of fear, the terror of being followed by someone you can’t escape, but also the darker idea that the person haunting you might actually be yourself,” explains Morrigan’s Echoes. “The song deliberately blurs the line between stalker and victim, reality and paranoia.”

That uncertainty becomes an integral part of the music itself. Rather than simply accompanying the story, the song is constructed to feel like the chase, growing darker, more cinematic, and increasingly intense as the narrative unfolds.

“We wanted the music itself to become part of that chase: dark, cinematic, theatrical and increasingly intense,” the band continues. “Having Jonas and Michaela from Curse of Cain join us gave those different identities their own voices and brought the story to life in a way that feels almost like a scene from a horror movie rather than just a song.”

The involvement of Jonas and Michaela from Curse of Cain adds another dimension to the track, with their guest performances helping embody the opposing identities at the center of the story. Their contributions further blur the boundaries between hunter and hunted, reality and nightmare.

The atmosphere surrounding “You Can’t Hide” has also been shaped by Morrigan’s Echoes’ fans, who helped build anticipation for the release through their own horror-themed videos. The band extends special thanks to everyone who contributed to creating the dark atmosphere surrounding the song.

“You Can’t Hide” was mixed and mastered by BK Metal Production .

Founded in 2025 by Geraldine and Greg , Morrigan’s Echoes have quickly established a distinctive identity within the modern symphonic metal landscape. The Luxembourg-based band combines cinematic orchestration, heavy riffs, expressive vocals, haunting atmospheres, and theatrical storytelling to create songs that function as individual worlds.

Their lyrical themes explore the darker sides of human nature, touching on fate, karma, injustice, obsession, nightmares, and the consequences of humanity’s own actions. Rather than remaining confined to the traditional boundaries of symphonic metal, Morrigan’s Echoes embrace a heavier, more modern edge, shifting between vulnerability and aggression, beauty and brutality.

With “You Can’t Hide,” that philosophy takes a particularly sinister turn.

This is not simply a song about being followed. It is about the fear that the thing you are running from may already be inside you.

“You Can’t Hide” is out now. Experience the latest release from Morrigan’s Echoes and step into a world where the line between hunter and hunted disappears, and the most terrifying enemy may be the one staring back at you.

ËVIL SÍNNER SIGNS WITH CDN RECORDS - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

ËVIL SÍNNER SIGNS WITH CDN RECORDS

Old-School Heavy Metal Outfit Brings Loud, Rude, and Aggressive Metal to the CDN Records Roster

Old-school heavy metal is alive and kicking, and Ëvil Sínner is ready to make some noise. The band has officially signed with CDN Records , marking a new chapter for the rising underground metal act as it continues to build momentum with its no-frills approach to traditional heavy metal.

Describing its sound as "loud, rude, and aggressive," Ëvil Sínner draws inspiration from the raw power and attitude of classic heavy metal and hard rock. With influences including Ted Nugent, Wild Dogs, Street Toyz, Dokken, and Exciter, the band delivers a sound rooted in the spirit of the genre's golden era while bringing its own intensity to the modern underground.

FROM DIY DEMO TO THE UNDERGROUND METAL SCENE


Ëvil Sínner's story began in the summer of 2024, when drummer and former lead vocalist JaCorien Lester independently released Power Surge , a six-song demo that introduced the band's raw production, traditional metal foundations, and unapologetically old-school attitude.

The demo quickly began attracting attention throughout the underground heavy metal scene. As word spread, the project started receiving live performance offers and interest from record labels across the United States and Europe.

An early milestone came when the band was offered a support slot for Void at Culture Shock in Atlanta, Georgia, during one of the band's Southern tours. Around the same time, Lester invited friend Remington Hill to join the group as bassist and lead vocalist, helping move the project toward its next phase.

The search for guitarists eventually brought Yechiel Romero into the fold, who later introduced Rodrigo Salazar. Together, the musicians helped establish the foundation of Ëvil Sínner and develop the band's identity within the underground heavy metal community. As the project continued to evolve, so did its lineup, leading to the band's current configuration.

Now signed to CDN Records, Ëvil Sínner is positioned to take its brand of traditional heavy metal to a wider audience while staying true to the raw energy and attitude that started it all.

NO SHORTCUTS. NO COMPROMISES. JUST HEAVY METAL.


For listeners who grew up on classic heavy metal, ripping guitars, hard-hitting rhythms, and the rebellious attitude that made the genre legendary, Ëvil Sínner delivers a reminder that the old-school spirit never went away.

With its roots firmly planted in traditional metal and its sights set on the next chapter, Ëvil Sínner is ready to turn up the volume and bring its sound to more stages and listeners.

Welcome to the roster, Ëvil Sínner!



ABOUT ËVIL SÍNNER


Ëvil Sínner is an old-school heavy metal band formed in 2024, known for its loud, aggressive sound and dedication to traditional heavy metal. Drawing influence from classic heavy metal and hard rock, the band combines a raw underground attitude with the musical spirit of the genre's foundational acts.

OPHIOLATRY BRINGS THE DISTURBING WORLD OF “JESUS COMPLEX” TO THE STAGE WITH NEW LIVE VIDEO - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

OPHIOLATRY BRINGS THE DISTURBING WORLD OF “JESUS COMPLEX” TO THE STAGE WITH NEW LIVE VIDEO

Brazilian Extreme Metal Veterans Unleash a Theatrical Live Performance of Their Award-Recognized Track from Serpent’s Verdict


Brazilian extreme metal force Ophiolatry has released an official live video for “Jesus Complex,” capturing the band's intense performance at Franco do Rock Festival in Franco da Rocha, São Paulo, Brazil. Bringing the disturbing visual universe of their original music video from the screen to the stage, the new release combines relentless extreme metal with theatrical imagery, unsettling masks, and a dark cinematic atmosphere.

Originally featured as the opening track on Ophiolatry's 2025 album Serpent’s Verdict , “Jesus Complex” takes on a new dimension in this live performance. The band recreates the song's unsettling visual concept in front of a live audience, transforming its themes and imagery into an immersive experience that blurs the boundaries between music, storytelling, and theatrical performance.

Watch “Jesus Complex” Live at Franco do Rock Festival:


The original “Jesus Complex” music video explored themes of imposed identity, conformity, manipulation, and the loss of individuality through a disturbing narrative in which characters inhabit a world where everyone wears the same sad Jesus mask. As the story unfolds, the protagonist discovers that he, too, has become part of the reality he once observed from the outside.

For the live version, Ophiolatry brings the concept into the physical world. The masks, originally designed and created for the music video, return to the stage, allowing the band to expand the song's narrative through visual performance and atmosphere.

The original “Jesus Complex” music video received a Badge of Honor from the Berlin Music Video Awards 2026 , recognizing the band's visual creativity and commitment to pushing the boundaries of extreme metal presentation.

The release follows a period of renewed momentum for Ophiolatry, whose comeback album Serpent’s Verdict marked the band's first full-length release in seventeen years. Released through WormHoleDeath Records and mastered by renowned producer Dan Swanö (Opeth, Dissection, Dark Funeral), the album reaffirmed the band's place in the international extreme metal underground while exploring themes rooted in indigenous Amazonian spirituality, ancestral identity, and resistance.

With the new live video for “Jesus Complex,” Ophiolatry continues expanding the visual identity of Serpent’s Verdict , proving that the band's artistic vision extends beyond the recording studio and into a live experience that is as unsettling as it is uncompromising.

LESS THAN PERFECT RE-RELEASES POWERFUL MODERN ROCK ANTHEM “NEVER SURRENDER” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LESS THAN PERFECT RE-RELEASES POWERFUL MODERN ROCK ANTHEM “NEVER SURRENDER”


Colorado Alternative Metal Band Celebrates New Chapter With DI Records as Its Anthem of Resilience Reaches Listeners Again



Streaming here:
https://ffm.to/neversurrenderltp">
https://ffm.to/neversurrenderltp />
PARKER, COLORADO | Colorado alternative metal band Less Than Perfect (LTP) is bringing its message of perseverance and hope back to the forefront with the re-release of its powerful single “Never Surrender,” available September 25, 2026, through DI Records .

Built around the belief that the storm does not get the final word, “Never Surrender” transforms pain, survival, and the determination to keep moving forward into a modern rock anthem for anyone who has been broken, underestimated, counted out, or pushed to the edge but refuses to give up.

The re-release marks another step forward for Less Than Perfect as the band continues its journey with DI Records, expanding its reach while preparing new music and working toward its third full-length album, expected in early 2027.

The past does not define you. The scars do not determine your future. Never surrender.

For Less Than Perfect, that message is more than a lyrical theme. It is the foundation of the band's identity.

Built around the dynamic father-daughter partnership of guitarist Andrew Matson and vocalist Kyra Matson , alongside drummer Chris Van Meter and bassist Denny Underwood , Less Than Perfect combines crushing alternative metal riffs, soaring melodies, driving rhythms, and deeply personal lyrics into a sound that balances raw emotion with hard-hitting modern rock.

“Never Surrender” speaks directly to those who have faced adversity, dealt with judgment, or struggled to find their footing when life seemed determined to knock them down. Rather than allowing those experiences to define the future, the song delivers a reminder that survival itself can become a source of strength.

According to the band:




"Casting Stones and Never Surrender represent everything Less Than Perfect stands for. They're for anyone who's ever been judged, knocked down, or told they weren't enough. Our message is simple: your past doesn't define you, your scars don't determine your future, and giving up is never the answer. We hope our songs remind people to lift each other up, keep fighting, and never stop believing that their best chapter is still ahead. If our music reminds even one person that their story isn't over and gives them the strength to keep moving forward, then we've succeeded."




Formed in 2022, Less Than Perfect has steadily built its presence through emotionally driven songwriting and energetic live performances. The band has shared stages with national acts including TRAPT, Smile Empty Soul, HED PE, Faster Pussycat, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, and Crashing Wayward , establishing connections with audiences through music rooted in real-life struggles and the determination to overcome them.

The band's 2025 album, TENET , showcased that approach through standout tracks including “Man in the Mask,” “Own Worst Enemy,” “Habitual,” and “Take It All.” The group has continued developing its sound through subsequent singles, including “Casting Stones,” while working on its next full-length release.

Now, with “Never Surrender” back in circulation and its partnership with DI Records moving forward, Less Than Perfect is setting its sights on the next stage of its evolution.

The message remains simple: setbacks do not have to be the end of the story.

The storm does not get the final word. Never surrender.
