Patriarchs in Black Unleash “Completely Covered in Black” – Full Album Out February 13, 2026 via NoLifeTilMetal Records - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Patriarchs in Black Unleash “Completely Covered in Black” – Full Album Out February 13, 2026 via NoLifeTilMetal Records

NoLifeTilMetal Records kicks off 2026 with a full-on sonic assault as Patriarchs in Black return with their newest full-length album, Completely Covered in Black . Set for release February 13, 2026, this album delivers 11 high-voltage tracks, including stunning covers of rock and metal classics alongside bonus original material.

Ahead of the album, fans can stream the standalone single Left Behind , co-written by Dan Lorenzo and former Sixty Watt Shaman vocalist Daniel Soren, released on all digital platforms February 5, 2026.

Listen here:

Formed in late 2021 by Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction) and Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative), Patriarchs in Black has released four full-length albums and a 6-song EP prior to this release, with each album featuring a different lineup of singers and bassists. Their previous records include Reach for the Scars (2022), My Veneration (2023), Visioning (2024), Home (2025), and Covered in Black EP (2025).

Completely Covered in Black showcases the band’s love for the classics with covers of iconic acts including Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Peter Gabriel, Twisted Sister, Motorhead, and Queen. The album also features guest appearances from Mark Sunshine (Unida), Karl Agell (ex-Corrosion of Conformity), Kyle Thomas (Exhorder), Rob Dukes (Exodus), and Bobby Jensen (Hairball).

Fans will find exclusive content on each format: the vinyl pressing includes a bonus track of a Patriarchs in Black original titled Show Them Your Power , while the CD version adds two bonus cuts—Led Zeppelin’s Kashmir and another original, Dead and Dying .

Guitarist Dan Lorenzo reflects on the album’s concept:

"Johnny and I both love recording cover songs. If you haven’t noticed, we REALLY love Kiss. As I write this, it’s only been a week since the death of Ace Frehley. Like many musicians my age, I started playing guitar because of Kiss. On New Year’s Eve, 1978, I had yet to pick up a guitar. My friends and I wanted to play ‘air guitar’ to Kiss Alive! I immediately said, ‘I want to be Ace.’ Three months later, I was playing guitar. Johnny suggested the Peter Gabriel track, and Mark Sunshine’s vocal performance on ‘Games’ really blew people away."

The album is pressed on heavyweight opaque orange vinyl, featuring a 12” x 12” insert with photos, liner notes, and credits. The CD comes in a jewel case with an 8-page booklet. Only 200 vinyl copies will be pressed, making this a must-have collector’s item for fans of heavy music.

IATT Unleashes First Single “Drift Away” From Upcoming Album and Film Etheric Realms of the Night - @thebeast

IATT Unleashes First Single “Drift Away” From Upcoming Album and Film Etheric Realms of the Night

Philadelphia’s extreme metal innovators IATT are back, and they’re pulling listeners into a cinematic nightmare with the first taste of their forthcoming full-length, Etheric Realms of the Night , due May 8 via Black Lion Records.

The new single, “Drift Away” , serves as the entry point into IATT’s ambitious fusion of extreme metal and narrative film. Each track of the upcoming album acts as a chapter in this immersive experience, exploring dreams, sleep, and the liminal space between consciousness and the subconscious.

With Drift Away , IATT sets the tone for the journey ahead. The track moves with deliberate restraint and emotional weight, capturing the uneasy calm of falling asleep—where comfort and fear intertwine. The accompanying visuals deepen this sense of foreboding, drawing inspiration from Greek tragedy and mythos to craft a visceral, cinematic landscape.

This is not just a song, it’s a chapter in a larger story. Etheric Realms of the Night is IATT’s fourth full-length album, designed as a cohesive film where music and storytelling blur into a singular, immersive experience.





Tracklist for Etheric Realms of the Night
01. Drift Away
02. To Lie Beneath
03. Somniphobia
04. Pavor Nocturnus
05. Quietus
06. Walk Amongst
07. Hypnos

IATT continues to push the boundaries of progressive and extreme metal, creating a world where music, narrative, and the subconscious merge into a symphony of shadows.

Etheric Realms of the Night drops May 8 via Black Lion Records and is available for pre-order

Horror Scene Unleashes New Single “Porn Star,” Continuing Their Rise in Industrial Goth Horror Metal - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Horror Scene Unleashes New Single “Porn Star,” Continuing Their Rise in Industrial Goth Horror Metal

Harrisburg, PA – Metal Devastation PR clients Horror Scene are turning heads in the underground heavy music scene with their latest single, “Porn Star” , set for release on March 27, 2026 . Known for their dark, aggressive Industrial Goth Horror Metal, the band continues building momentum with relentless creativity, immersive live performances, and growing national media attention.

“Porn Star” is a scathing, self-aware anthem that tackles society’s obsession with perfection and the dangerous allure of cosmetic enhancement. Dark hypnotic beats, gritty guitars, and biting lyrics expose the emptiness behind idealized beauty, delivering Horror Scene’s raw social commentary with brutal honesty.

The band’s rising profile has attracted attention from major music publications. Rolling Stone recently spotlighted Horror Scene for their uncompromising sound and immersive aesthetic, while SPIN Magazine praised the group as “heavy stuff coming out of Harrisburg, PA… Sepultura vibes with an industrial/goth edge… like Slipknot meets Sisters of Mercy.” In the SPIN interview, the band discussed their creative process, wide-ranging influences from Alice Cooper to Pantera, and their recent name change, reflecting both their theatrical persona and evolving vision.

Horror Scene’s single “Welcome to Your Hell” reached #20 on the Metal Contraband Top 50 Metal Charts, demonstrating the band’s growing influence in the underground metal community. Their live shows continue to blur the line between concert and psychological experience, solidifying their reputation as one of industrial metal’s most compelling new acts.

“Music is very healing and cathartic,” the band notes. “In these uncertain times, it’s a way to forget everything else and immerse yourself in the soundscape around you.”

As 2026 unfolds, Horror Scene shows no signs of slowing, with new material, live activity, and media momentum positioning them for a powerful year ahead.

DIABOLIS Unleashes New Lineup, Special Guest Vocalist and Pop-Infused Surprise at 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DIABOLIS Unleashes New Lineup, Special Guest Vocalist and Pop-Infused Surprise at 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition

Connecticut’s relentless metal force DIABOLIS is coming in hot with a revamped lineup and a sharp left turn for fans at the 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition, running April 17 to 19, 2026 at the Mohegan Sun Expo Center in Uncasville, Connecticut. The band storms the stage Saturday, April 18 at approximately 8:30 PM, unveiling a reimagined pop/R&B crossover track featuring guest vocalist Violet Dusk (Violet Dusk) alongside new guitarist Casey Carr . The track takes a modern mainstream hit and throws it into the fire with DIABOLIS’ heavier sensibilities, letting both worlds collide.

It’s shaping up to be a full weekend of tattoo culture, artistry and live performance. In partnership with convention co-owner Tom Ringwalt (Guitar Center and St. Jude collaborator) and the broader tattoo community including Ink Master Season 2 champion Steve Tefft , DIABOLIS will help debut a one-of-a-kind electric guitar branded with the Tattoo Expo, DIABOLIS and Guitar Center logos. The guitar will be signed by the band, guest artists and special celebrities with proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children’s Hospital after expenses.

Special doors for the DIABOLIS concert open at 8:00 PM , and attendees who use the code “DIABOLIS” at the door can knock the standard $25 admission down to $15 . The convention itself opens at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, April 18 .

DIABOLIS will also be fully posted up all weekend with a merch booth that includes exclusive items, a CD listening station and recent live footage for new fans to get caught up.

The current lineup of Voxx H (vocals), J-SINZ (drums), ~D~ (bass) and Casey Carr (guitar) is tightening the screws on the band’s sound, pushing harder on both old favorites and the new material. It’s the kind of upgrade fans notice the second it hits the PA.

On the competitive front, DIABOLIS is confirmed as a contender for the Jam At The Dam Festival Battle , with exact date pending. The battle takes place on the two Saturdays leading into the festival. DIABOLIS will release a dedicated press announcement once the competition date is confirmed. This year’s Jam At The Dam Festival runs Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25 , with the 2026 lineup yet to be announced. Last year the stage hosted Steelheart, Warrant, Firehouse, George Lynch, Dokken and Ace Frehley, so expectations for this year are already running high.
