Brandon Bordman’s one-man progressive death metal project, The Grand Myth , announces the release of its highly anticipated full-length concept album Of Vultures and Dragons , now available worldwide. The album follows the single Through the River Styx , which dropped December 5, 2025, and sets the stage for an immersive, brutal, and narrative-driven journey through the Primitive War universe.

Known for blending jaw-dropping technical prowess with immersive storytelling, Bordman pushes the boundaries of metal with this ambitious release.

"Of Vultures and Dragons is the fully realized vision of what I wanted to do with The Devils of Vulture Valley. It is an all-encompassing and uncompromising concept album about the beasts of the Primitive War universe and the men who are forced to live and fight with them. I wanted to capture all the emotions I felt while reading through the novels and I think this collection of songs will work as a fantastic soundtrack to anyone who dares to step foot into the violent and unrelenting world of Primitive War," Bordman explains.

The album features a stellar lineup of guest musicians and voice actors, including Nizar Ibrahim, PhD (Of Vultures and Dragons) , Johnnie Wallace (Father Tyrant) , David Ralyea (Through the River Styx) , and more, adding depth and intensity to the record. Bordman handled all instrumentals himself, with mixing by Georg Cotta and Bordman, and mastering by Neil Schneider .

Fans can experience genre-defying progressive death metal coupled with a fully immersive narrative, making Of Vultures and Dragons not just an album, but an epic journey.




Of Vultures and Dragons is independently released under The Grand Myth , solidifying Brandon Bordman’s reputation as one of metal’s most ambitious and boundary-pushing artists.

After five years of silence following their 2019 breakout single “Purge,” the band came back swinging with a release that proves they never lost their edge.

PHASERIP Unleashes Debut Full-Length Album Out of Phase – Out Now - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHASERIP Unleashes Debut Full-Length Album Out of Phase – Out Now

Cross-dimensional, cross-continental metal project PHASERIP announces the release of their debut full-length album, Out of Phase , now available on all major streaming platforms
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/phaserip/out-of-phase
https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/phaserip/out-of-phase />
Blending metal, grunge metal, and alternative metal, PHASERIP crafts a soundscape reminiscent of Faith No More, System of a Down, and Soundgarden, while carving out its own heavy, melodic, and cinematic identity. The album’s narrative follows a man ripped into an alternate reality, exploring themes of isolation, displacement, and identity, perfectly captured by the project’s mascot, ‘Phaser Phil,’ an outsider wandering a distorted mirror of our world.

PHASERIP is led by Fresno songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jawsh Willis, who performs most guitars, bass, and keyboards. The core lineup spans the globe: drummer Cezary Borawski and vocalist Oscar Klassen record from Poland (Oscar originally from Mexico), forming the backbone of the project’s sonic intensity.

Out of Phase features an international roster of guest musicians, including Finnish death-metal vocalist Topias Jokipii, Algerian extreme-metal vocalist Redouane Aoumeur, award-winning Japanese guitarist Preston Murdock, Fresno musicians Matthew Banwart and Grayson Nolan, and former bandmates Trevor Bryant, Joey Ayala, and Daniel C. Wallace. Produced and mixed by Facundo at Sweep Blast Studios in Argentina, the album delivers crushing drop-tuned riffs, soaring hooks, and atmospheric storytelling.

PHASERIP also pays tribute to a personal hero with a cover of Black Sabbath’s “After All (The Dead),” honoring the legendary Ronnie James Dio.

Jawsh Willis on the release:
"Out of Phase follows a man who slips into a reality where no one knows him. It’s a metaphor for the way so many of us feel—out of place, unseen, and searching for meaning in a world that doesn’t feel like ours. If you’ve ever woken up in the wrong universe, this album will feel like home."

PHASERIP is self-managed, independent, and distributed via DistroKid.

HUBRIS UNLEASHES RELENTLESS BLACK METAL ONSLAUGHT “ACTS OF SEDITION” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HUBRIS UNLEASHES RELENTLESS BLACK METAL ONSLAUGHT “ACTS OF SEDITION”

Buffalo, NY — Black metal veterans Hubris are preparing to incinerate the senses of extreme music fans worldwide with their upcoming full-length, Acts of Sedition , set for release on Good Friday, April 3, 2026 .

Since erupting from the Buffalo underground in 2008, Hubris—founded by brothers Hellskald and Lichfiend alongside Melkorpse, with Deragore joining on drums in 2010—has been delivering a high-octane, uncompromising brand of black metal fused with death metal’s punishing intensity. From Shadow Woods Metal Fest IV to tours across the Eastern US supporting appearances at Hell Over Akron and Slutfest , Hubris has left audiences in smoldering ruins with their searing performances. Fans of Gorgoroth, 1349, and Tsjuder will find themselves right at home in the destructive maelstrom that is Hubris.

Acts of Sedition represents the band’s opus: nearly an hour of scalding black metal tracked across multiple states since late 2022, with final mastering completed in 2025. Following the debut single “Lightless Lantern” , hailed by No Clean Singing as “a destructive warzone of bloodthirsty delirium,” the full album promises 54 minutes of relentless drums, razor-sharp riffs, and withering vocals that drive straight to the heart of humanity’s darkest impulses.

The album’s cover art, created by Triple Seis Design (Santiago Jamarillo) , depicts the ruin of a petty tyrant amid the infernal rise of a new dawn—perfectly capturing the atmosphere of Hubris’ sonic onslaught.

Acts of Sedition will be available for preorder on Bandcamp Friday, March 6, 2026 , with the title track made available for listening that same day. Fans who preorder will receive an exclusive Hubris patch . The album officially launches on Good Friday, April 3, 2026 .

Brian Moody Unleashes Brian’s Brain – A Louisville-to-Moscow Metal Journey Bridging 502 Roots With Global Firepower - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Brian Moody Unleashes Brian’s Brain – A Louisville-to-Moscow Metal Journey Bridging 502 Roots With Global Firepower

Release Date: November 24, 2023
Artist: Brian Moody
Release Title: Brian’s Brain
Genre: Melodic Heavy Metal / Progressive Metal
FFO: Ozzy Osbourne , Mastodon , In Flames

Rooted in the forests of Kentucky, sharpened in the mountains of Colorado, and forged back home in Louisville, Brian Moody emerges as a one man melodic heavy metal machine with his debut album Brian’s Brain . Writing, recording, and performing every note himself, Moody delivers a riff-driven, atmospheric, and unapologetically heavy statement that blends old-school grit with modern sonic precision.

The record has already started making noise, debuting on LRS 102 , also known as The Walrus, as the “Humpday for the Locals” kickoff track. That early radio support signals what listeners are quickly discovering. This is not a casual side project. It is a fully realized metal experience built with intention, sweat, and studio obsession.

Produced by Brian Moody and mixed and mastered by Theodor Borovski at Slaughtered Studio in Moscow, Russia, Brian’s Brain represents a powerful Louisville-to-Moscow collaboration. The result bridges Bluegrass State heaviness with global production muscle, giving the album both raw authenticity and polished impact.

Sonically, the album hits like classic metal reborn through a modern lens. Think the theatrical weight of Ozzy-era heaviness colliding with the progressive stomp of Mastodon, smashed in the head by the unhinged intensity of Strapping Young Lad . It is melodic yet punishing. Expansive yet razor sharp. Apocalyptic landscapes unfold through layered vocals, riff heavy guitars, and cinematic keyboards that give the record both scale and soul.

Moody describes the release simply:

“This album is the culmination of years of studio obsession, bridging the gap between old-school 502 heavy metal roots and a modern, global production sound.”

That obsession is paying off. As the Platinum campaign launches, studio performance clips are already generating strong engagement, pulling nearly 1,000 views in the first 24 hours and building steady momentum across platforms.

Released independently under Brian Moody Music and self-managed, Brian’s Brain is a statement of creative control and artistic independence. No committee. No compromise. Just pure heavy metal vision executed at a high level.

Mixed and Mastered by Theodor Borovski at Slaughtered Studio, Moscow, Russia

Management: Independent / Self-Managed
