FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
TDW Releases “Bane of the Talebearer OST” Out Now
Progressive Symphonic Metal Multigenre Soundtrack Album Available Now via Layered Reality Productions
TDW, the creative outlet of composer and multi-artist Tom de Wit, has officially released the ambitious new soundtrack album Bane of the Talebearer OST . Available now through Layered Reality Productions, the release can be experienced as a triple CD, USB edition, and worldwide streaming album.
TDW delivers a massive, genre-defying soundtrack experience that blends progressive metal, symphonic orchestration, folk, ambient, jazz, and experimental sound design into one unified narrative world.
Born from the larger Bane of the Talebearer multimedia universe, the project expands across an ongoing YouTube audio drama, an upcoming artbook, and a videogame currently in development. The OST stands as its core musical pillar, featuring more than 70 tracks of primarily instrumental compositions built around leitmotifs and cinematic storytelling.
Creator Tom de Wit describes the project as a creative shift away from traditional album writing, choosing instead to build a fully immersive fantasy soundtrack inspired by classic adventure games and narrative-driven worlds.
All music was written, produced, mixed, and mastered by Tom de Wit at The Imagineering Suite in Amersfoort, with contributions from a wide range of international guest musicians spanning progressive, classical, folk, and metal scenes.
Bold in both scope and vision, Bane of the Talebearer OST prioritizes human-crafted composition and long-form storytelling over modern trends of short-form content and AI-assisted production.

Elle Tea Announces New Album Travelling | A Journey Through Fantasy, Time, and Classic Hard Rock - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Elle Tea Announces New Album Travelling | A Journey Through Fantasy, Time, and Classic Hard Rock
Florence, Italy's Elle Tea, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and illustrator Leonardo Trevisan, is set to captivate fans of classic hard rock and heavy metal with the release of the new album Travelling .
Drawing inspiration from the golden era of late 1970s and early 1980s hard rock, progressive rock, and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Travelling delivers eight immersive tracks that blend fantasy storytelling, introspective lyricism, and melodic songwriting with a distinctly vintage sound.
Fans of Praying Mantis, Ashbury, Blue Öyster Cult, Wytch Hazel, and early Manilla Road will find plenty to appreciate in Elle Tea's latest offering.
Watch and listen here:
Since launching the project in 2023, Leonardo Trevisan has independently crafted a unique musical and visual world through releases including Fate Is At My Side (2023), The Past From Which I Ran (2024), and the EP Into The Fall (2025). Rooted in a deep admiration for classic fantasy literature and the iconic artwork of Roger Dean, Rodney Matthews, and Michael Whelan, Elle Tea embraces the aesthetic spirit that helped define both progressive rock and the NWOBHM movement.
The album's central themes explore the passage of time, personal transformation, and journeys into other realms where identity dissolves into the endless cycles of life and the universe. While not a strict concept album, songs such as the title track "Travelling," "Into The Fall," and "Vanish" are connected by an atmosphere of melancholy, reflection, and surrender to forces beyond one's control.
Further enhancing the experience, each of the album's eight tracks is accompanied by an original hand-crafted illustration created by Trevisan using traditional mixed media techniques, primarily watercolor and pencil. These visual pieces provide additional narrative depth and context, expanding the album's immersive fantasy world.
Musically, Travelling intentionally distances itself from modern hard rock and metal production trends. Instead, it embraces the warmth, dynamics, and emotional depth of classic recordings, balancing clean, atmospheric passages with powerful heavy rock moments while maintaining a strong melodic foundation throughout.
Track Highlights
Eight songs blending classic hard rock, progressive rock, and NWOBHM influences
Fantasy-inspired storytelling and introspective lyrical themes
Original hand-painted artwork accompanying every track
Vintage-inspired production rooted in late 70s and early 80s aesthetics
Created entirely by Leonardo Trevisan

Bobby Liebling (Pentagram) & Sonny Vincent (The Limit/Testors) Join The Zach Moonshine Show For An Exclusive Deep Dive Into "Another Drop" - @thebeast
Bobby Liebling (Pentagram) & Sonny Vincent (The Limit/Testors) Join The Zach Moonshine Show For An Exclusive Deep Dive Into "Another Drop"
Metal Devastation Radio recently welcomed two underground rock legends to The Zach Moonshine Show as Bobby Liebling of Pentagram and Sonny Vincent of Testors and The Limit joined us for an exclusive interview discussing their upcoming album, Another Drop , arriving July 31 via Silver Lining Music.
The conversation offered fans a rare look behind the curtain at the creative partnership that has fueled The Limit since its formation in 2020. What began as a collaboration between Pentagram's iconic frontman Bobby Liebling and legendary punk rocker Sonny Vincent has evolved into a project with its own identity, character, and artistic vision.
Building A Stronger Follow-Up To Caveman Logic
During the interview, Sonny reflected on the challenge of following up the band's debut album Caveman Logic . Rather than forcing the process, the band focused on creating songs organically while remaining committed to pushing themselves creatively.
According to Sonny, the goal was simple: get to the core of what makes The Limit unique and deliver something even stronger than the debut. After years of recording, refining mixes, and perfecting the final product, both musicians believe they've accomplished exactly that.
Bobby echoed that sentiment, praising the songwriting and expressing confidence in the new material.
New Singles And Upcoming Videos
Fans have already gotten a taste of the upcoming album through the release of the title track "Another Drop Of Blood" and the fan-favorite "Part 2, Screw You."
The pair revealed that a third single is currently being selected and that plans are underway for a more ambitious video production. Rather than relying on traditional performance-based videos, Sonny discussed the desire to create something more conceptual and visually engaging to complement the music.
The conversation even touched on the humorous James Brown-inspired moment featured in the "Part 2, Screw You" video, which has become a favorite among fans.
The Story Behind The Album Artwork
One particularly interesting topic was the album's striking cover artwork.
Sonny explained that the band intentionally chose not to use AI-generated imagery for the album cover, instead selecting a handcrafted collage created by an artist whose work immediately resonated with the entire team.
While acknowledging AI's growing role in creative fields, both musicians emphasized the importance of authenticity and consensus when selecting visuals that represent The Limit.
The resulting artwork perfectly captures the surreal, dreamlike atmosphere surrounding the album.
Touring Plans And Wacken Open Air
Exciting news was also shared regarding upcoming live performances.
The Limit will make a major appearance at the legendary Wacken Open Air festival this summer, performing on one of the world's biggest stages for heavy music fans.
In addition to Wacken, the band is preparing for future touring opportunities, with more extensive live plans currently being discussed.
For fans who have been waiting to see The Limit perform live, the wait appears to be coming to an end.
The Pursuit Of Perfect Sound
One of the most fascinating portions of the interview centered around the vinyl production process for Another Drop .
Sonny revealed that he personally rejected the album's initial test pressing after extensive listening sessions across multiple audio systems, including a high-end audiophile setup valued at tens of thousands of dollars.
Rather than settling for a release that didn't meet expectations, the band worked closely with mastering specialists in London to ensure the vinyl version captured the power and depth of the original recordings.
The story highlighted just how much care and attention went into every aspect of the album's final presentation.
Gear Talk: Vintage Guitars And Classic Tones
Gearheads were treated to a behind-the-scenes look at the equipment used during recording sessions.
Sonny tracked much of the album using a 1969 Gibson Les Paul Black Beauty alongside several other guitars, running through multiple Vox AC30 amplifiers simultaneously to create the layered tones heard throughout the record.
The discussion also drifted into classic vinyl pressings, vintage Led Zeppelin records, and the timeless production techniques that continue to inspire musicians today.
Lyrical Themes And Personal Reflections
Bobby offered insight into several of the album's lyrical themes, discussing tracks such as "Don't Say Try," "Tryptophan," and the deeply personal "Fall Down, Get Up."
The latter song became one of the interview's most powerful moments as both musicians reflected on perseverance, resilience, and overcoming life's challenges.
Sonny described the track as an emotional journey that many listeners will likely connect with on a personal level, calling it one of the album's most profound songs.
Not A Side Project
Throughout the conversation, one message became crystal clear: The Limit is not simply a side project.
Both Bobby and Sonny spoke passionately about the band's importance in their lives and careers. While each remains active with other projects, The Limit has become a serious creative outlet built on collaboration, friendship, and a shared love of authentic rock and roll.
As Sonny put it, The Limit has developed its own personality and identity, standing proudly alongside the other legendary projects associated with its members.
Pentagram's Busy Year Continues
Bobby also provided an update on Pentagram's packed schedule.
The band is currently between legs of an extensive U.S. tour and plans to enter the studio this summer to record another new album before heading to Mexico and South America later this year.
With Pentagram continuing to build momentum and The Limit preparing to release another ambitious album, Bobby shows no signs of slowing down.

The full interview features even more stories, laughs, industry insights, and behind-the-scenes discussion from two artists whose combined contributions to underground rock, doom metal, and punk continue to influence generations of musicians.

SHINY NEW TOYZ, DEVIL IN DISGUISE, CREEPER, BLACK REUSS, BRIAN MOODY, VICK LECAR FEATURED IN LATEST POWERPLAY ROCK AND METAL MAGAZINE ISSUE WITH SAMANTHA FISH ON THE COVER - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SHINY NEW TOYZ, DEVIL IN DISGUISE, CREEPER, BLACK REUSS, BRIAN MOODY, VICK LECAR FEATURED IN LATEST POWERPLAY ROCK AND METAL MAGAZINE ISSUE WITH SAMANTHA FISH ON THE COVER
Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple MDPR roster artists have been reviewed in the latest issue of Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine , featuring blues powerhouse Samantha Fish on the cover.
This issue continues Powerplay’s long standing tradition of showcasing both underground and established artists with detailed reviews spanning the full spectrum of rock and metal.
SHINY NEW TOYZ – “LORE”
Shiny New Toyz’ three track EP Lore is highlighted for its experimental alt metal direction and unpredictable songwriting. The review praises chunky riff work, shifting time signatures, and vocals that move between punk attitude, harsh screams, and ethereal chant-like passages. The band is described as unique and uncompromising, offering a challenging but rewarding listen that stands apart from the mainstream.
DEVIL IN DISGUISE – “NEVER MEANT”
Devil In Disguise return after a lengthy hiatus with Never Meant , tied to their earlier single Purge . The review focuses on their comeback narrative and solid hard rock foundation, drawing comparisons to Bullet For My Valentine style influence. While the musicianship is strong and the title track stands out, the critique notes a lack of distinct identity and vocal edge, resulting in an enjoyable but somewhat forgettable release overall.
CREEPER – “CRUSHING”
Creeper deliver a crushing blend of thrash and groove metal on Crushing . The review highlights Slayer inspired aggression, Pantera flavored groove sections, and consistent high impact heaviness throughout. Tracks are praised for their tight execution, crushing riffs, and old school intensity, making this a strong recommendation for fans of classic groove and thrash metal.
BLACK REUSS – “DEATH”
Black Reuss continue their conceptual gothic metal journey with Death . The review praises its atmospheric density, orchestral layering, and emotional weight, balancing haunting melodic passages with oppressive heaviness. The album is described as immersive and powerful, standing as a strong example of modern gothic doom done with vision and depth.
BRIAN MOODY – “BRIAN’S BRAIN”
Brian Moody’s Brian’s Brain earns top marks for its ambitious and expansive songwriting. Drawing comparisons to Devin Townsend styled sonic complexity, the album is praised for its riff driven structure, emotional scope, and standout tracks like Driftwood and Dead West . The review calls it a fully realized and highly rewarding listen with strong replay value.
VICK LECAR – “THE GOLD RECORD”
Vick LeCar delivers a diverse blues rock record rooted in classic influences and raw performance energy. Featuring Paul Manzi on early standout tracks, the album blends Deep Purple funk grooves, Zeppelin inspired grit, Santana flavored guitar work, and classic rock ballad elements.

SHINY NEW TOYZ, DEVIL IN DISGUISE, CREEPER, BLACK REUSS, BRIAN MOODY, VICK LECAR FEATURED IN LATEST POWERPLAY ROCK AND METAL MAGAZINE ISSUE WITH SAMANTHA FISH ON THE COVER
Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple MDPR roster artists have been reviewed in the latest issue of Powerplay Rock and Metal Magazine , featuring blues powerhouse Samantha Fish on the cover.
This issue continues Powerplay’s long standing tradition of showcasing both underground and established artists with detailed reviews spanning the full spectrum of rock and metal.
SHINY NEW TOYZ – “LORE”
Shiny New Toyz’ three track EP Lore is highlighted for its experimental alt metal direction and unpredictable songwriting. The review praises chunky riff work, shifting time signatures, and vocals that move between punk attitude, harsh screams, and ethereal chant-like passages. The band is described as unique and uncompromising, offering a challenging but rewarding listen that stands apart from the mainstream.
DEVIL IN DISGUISE – “NEVER MEANT”
Devil In Disguise return after a lengthy hiatus with Never Meant , tied to their earlier single Purge . The review focuses on their comeback narrative and solid hard rock foundation, drawing comparisons to Bullet For My Valentine style influence. While the musicianship is strong and the title track stands out, the critique notes a lack of distinct identity and vocal edge, resulting in an enjoyable but somewhat forgettable release overall.
CREEPER – “CRUSHING”
Creeper deliver a crushing blend of thrash and groove metal on Crushing . The review highlights Slayer inspired aggression, Pantera flavored groove sections, and consistent high impact heaviness throughout. Tracks are praised for their tight execution, crushing riffs, and old school intensity, making this a strong recommendation for fans of classic groove and thrash metal.
BLACK REUSS – “DEATH”
Black Reuss continue their conceptual gothic metal journey with Death . The review praises its atmospheric density, orchestral layering, and emotional weight, balancing haunting melodic passages with oppressive heaviness. The album is described as immersive and powerful, standing as a strong example of modern gothic doom done with vision and depth.
BRIAN MOODY – “BRIAN’S BRAIN”
Brian Moody’s Brian’s Brain earns top marks for its ambitious and expansive songwriting. Drawing comparisons to Devin Townsend styled sonic complexity, the album is praised for its riff driven structure, emotional scope, and standout tracks like Driftwood and Dead West . The review calls it a fully realized and highly rewarding listen with strong replay value.
VICK LECAR – “THE GOLD RECORD”
Vick LeCar delivers a diverse blues rock record rooted in classic influences and raw performance energy. Featuring Paul Manzi on early standout tracks, the album blends Deep Purple funk grooves, Zeppelin inspired grit, Santana flavored guitar work, and classic rock ballad elements. While slightly long, the release is praised for its authenticity, musicianship, and live feel.
Metal Devastation PR congratulates all featured artists on securing international print coverage in one of rock and metal’s most respected publications.

EATEN BY SHARKS UNLEASH NEW LYRIC VIDEO “IN TIDAL CHAOS” PREMIERING EXCLUSIVELY VIA SLAM WORLDWIDE . FULL LENGTH ALBUM THE UNDERTOW OF HATE ARRIVES JULY 17 VIA CDN RECORDS - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
EATEN BY SHARKS UNLEASH NEW LYRIC VIDEO “IN TIDAL CHAOS” PREMIERING EXCLUSIVELY VIA SLAM WORLDWIDE . FULL LENGTH ALBUM THE UNDERTOW OF HATE ARRIVES JULY 17 VIA CDN RECORDS
Canada’s rising extreme metal force Eaten By Sharks have dropped their brand new lyric video for “IN TIDAL CHAOS”, now premiering exclusively through Slam Worldwide . The release marks the latest strike from the band’s upcoming full length album The Undertow Of Hate, set to arrive July 17, 2026 via CDN Records .
Known for their relentless fusion of technical death metal, progressive structure, and crushing groove, Eaten By Sharks continue to push deeper into a more cinematic and concept driven sound. “IN TIDAL CHAOS” captures the exact moment of collapse, where structure dissolves and everything is pulled under by force and fear.
The lyric video expands the album’s nautical horror narrative, diving further into the psychological descent hinted at in earlier material. It is heavy, fast, and tightly constructed, but still carries that unsettling sense of movement and flow the band has become known for.
“The Undertow Of Hate is us fully stepping into who we are as a band,” the group explains. “Everything is more focused, more intentional, and more connected. This record tells one continuous story from calm waters to total destruction and back again, but nothing comes out the same on the other side. IN TIDAL CHAOS is one of the key turning points in that journey.”
Produced by Eaten By Sharks alongside producer Christian Donaldson, who also handled engineering, mixing, and mastering, the album delivers a sharp balance of precision and brutality. Every track feeds the larger concept while still standing strong on its own, making this one of the band’s most unified and aggressive releases to date.
For fans of Fit For An Autopsy, Gojira, and Cattle Decapitation, The Undertow Of Hate is shaping up to be a standout extreme metal release for 2026.

Metal Devastation PR Artists Hellrazor, Divisions of Grandeur, LLOTH, and Nocturnal Ceremony Featured in Latest Issue of Metalized Magazine Featuring Venom on the Cover - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Metal Devastation PR Artists Spotlighted in Latest Issue of Metalized Magazine Featuring Venom on the Cover
Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple artists from its roster have been featured in the latest issue of Metalized Magazine , which hits hard this month with none other than black metal pioneers Venom gracing the cover.
This latest edition showcases a strong cross section of underground and international metal, including reviews and editorial coverage of Metal Devastation PR artists spanning traditional heavy metal, funeral doom, blackened death metal, and long-awaited reunions from the underground’s past.
Hellrazor deliver classic heavy metal firepower
Canadian heavy metal act Hellrazor made a strong impression with their fourth album Wings of Deliverance (self released), earning a 9/10 review.
The feature highlights the band’s blend of ’80s inspired heavy metal energy with modern polish, drawing comparisons to Ghost, Dokken, Skid Row, and Judas Priest. With catchy songwriting, big harmonies, and strong production, the album was described as a standout release built on memorable choruses and a fresh retro edge.
Divisions of Grandeur embrace slow burning suffering
Funeral doom project Divisions of Grandeur was featured with their debut album The Prevalence of Suffering (Metal Devastation), rated 7/10.
The review emphasizes the band’s patient, immersive approach to songwriting, where atmosphere and weight take priority over speed. Spanning eight expansive tracks, the album was noted for its symphonic undertones, heavy mood, and thematic focus on human decay and existential despair.
LLOTH bring ancient weight and atmosphere
Greek blackened death metal duo LLOTH received coverage for Archees Legeones (Ancient Legions) (Theogonia Records), also rated 7/10.
The album was praised for its massive riffs, ceremonial pacing, and strong atmospheric identity. While the review noted a consistent mid tempo structure throughout, it also highlighted the band’s commanding presence and commitment to a dark, traditional sound rooted in ancient themes and disciplined execution.
Nocturnal Ceremony return after three decades
The issue also features an in depth interview and review coverage of reunited death metal veterans Nocturnal Ceremony , who return after 30 years with their album Obsidian (self released), also rated 7/10.
The interview explores the band’s rebirth after decades apart, sparked by a chance reconnection between original members. Their new material is described as raw, organic, and rooted in early Scandinavian death metal tradition, while incorporating modern production and darker atmospheric elements.
The accompanying review describes Obsidian as a brutal, uncompromising release that channels the spirit of the early 90s underground while pushing into more modern sonic territory.
Metal Devastation PR continues to push underground and international metal into the spotlight, connecting artists with global media coverage and keeping the old school spirit alive in today’s evolving heavy music landscape.
More features, interviews, and releases are on the way. Stay tuned, stay loud, and keep it underground.
