Korrosive Land Major Video Premiere for “Khaos Unbound” at Decibel Magazine - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Korrosive Land Major Video Premiere for “Khaos Unbound” at Decibel Magazine

Toronto, Canada – Canadian extreme thrash metal force Korrosive continue the rampage surrounding their latest album Katastrophic Creation with a major new milestone. The band has officially landed an exclusive video premiere for their track “Khaos Unbound” at the legendary metal publication Decibel Magazine , putting the spotlight squarely on one of the album’s most relentless tracks.

Known for championing the heaviest and most uncompromising acts in metal, Decibel Magazine describes “Khaos Unbound” as a full-speed thrash assault packed with blistering riffs, pummeling drums, and venom-spitting vocals rooted in the most chaotic corners of thrash metal’s lineage. The track appears on Korrosive’s latest album Katastrophic Creation , released through CDN Records and available now on CD, vinyl, and all major streaming platforms.

The new video was directed and edited by guitarist Jack Neila , with cinematography by Michael Jari Davidson , whose résumé includes work with Alice in Chains . The performance-driven clip captures Korrosive locked into the same furious intensity that fuels the track itself, delivering a stark and aggressive visual experience that perfectly mirrors the band’s no-compromise approach to modern thrash.

Lyrically, “Khaos Unbound” takes aim at the machinery of war and the expendable role forced upon those sent to fight it. Vocalist Rad Zarei explains that the song explores the moment when those used as pawns in conflict begin to realize the truth behind the systems controlling them.




“The idea behind the song is about war and society,” says Zarei. “It’s written from the perspective of someone realizing they’re just cannon fodder. Those in command never face consequences, but when the pawns push back, chaos is unbound.”




Taken from Katastrophic Creation , the track stands as a prime example of the album’s relentless approach. Produced by Ben Erikson , the record pushes Korrosive’s sound further into extreme territory while staying rooted in the speed, aggression, and razor-sharp riffing that define classic thrash.

With this latest premiere at Decibel Magazine , Korrosive continues to prove that their mission is simple: maximum velocity, zero compromise.

Red Vinter Complete Recording of Crushing New Album Ghost In The Fog and Prepare to Level Sinkfest II - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Red Vinter Complete Recording of Crushing New Album Ghost In The Fog and Prepare to Level Sinkfest II

St. Paul, MN – Doom and death metal force Red Vinter have officially wrapped recording sessions for their second full length album, Ghost In The Fog , at the legendary 14: 59 Studios in Minneapolis, MN. Known for hosting punishing sessions from underground standouts such as Impaler, Thor, Plague of Stars, and Glutton for Punishment, the studio once again served as the perfect sonic war room for the band’s next chapter.

The album was co- produced by Red Vinter vocalist and bassist Mike Bullock alongside Will Maravelas , the engineer behind the band’s acclaimed debut Lumbering Menace . The new record features eight pulverizing tracks that push the band’s already massive doom and death sound into darker and heavier territory.

Among the most anticipated tracks are “ Cryptic Site” and “ The Cell Inside,” with “ Cryptic Site” slated to emerge as the first single from Ghost In The Fog . The upcoming record continues Red Vinter’s signature blend of crushing riffs, slow burning atmosphere, and emotionally charged songwriting that has been steadily gaining attention across the underground metal scene.

Momentum for the band has been building as tracks from Lumbering Menace continue to reach new audiences. Fan favorites “ Ashes” and “ Insurgent” have recently been featured on the Screamin’ Eman Underground Metal show on the legendary WXAX and have received additional airplay on KFAI, KMSU, and a growing number of online metal radio programs and podcasts.

“ With everything going on in Minneapolis lately, ‘ Insurgent’ is more relevant now than ever,” says Bullock. “ Meanwhile, the message behind ‘ Ashes’— getting back on your feet no matter how hard life burns you down— is something people need to hear every day. It’s about resilience.”

Fans will soon experience the band’s crushing new material live as Red Vinter returns to the Minneapolis doom and sludge gathering SINKFEST II on March 21st . The annual low- and- slow festival brings together some of the heaviest acts in the underground, and Red Vinter is preparing to bulldoze the stage with a set that includes the live debut of “ Cryptic Site” alongside fan favorites like “ Ashes,” “ Lumbering Menace,” “ K. I. A.,” and more.

Early reactions to Red Vinter’s sound continue to highlight the band’s unique approach to heavy music.

“ Red Vinter's music is a brutal, melodic landscape that moves from small and delicate to massive and crushing in a heartbeat.” – Interview With A Nobody

“ Red Vinter's sound is tight, confident, and far more gripping than most first releases.” – Metal Digest

“ Red Vinter's Lumbering Menace is an excellently crafted doomy and heavy album.” – Teeth of the Divine

With Ghost In The Fog now completed and live performances on the horizon, Red Vinter are gearing up to push their brand of doom laden devastation even further into the underground metal world.

Wayne Static Vocal Feature Approved For Unauthorized Documentary - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Wayne Static Vocal Feature Approved For Unauthorized Documentary

The unauthorized documentary by filmmaker Matt Zane about late Wayne Static and his wife Tera Wray Static has faced significant resistance since its initial announcement.

Both families have previously voiced strong objections to the project and reportedly served Zane with a cease-and-desist notice in an effort to halt production.

In addition, Wayne’s former bandmates in Static-X and the family have refused permission for the use of unreleased music recordings that Zane claims to have access to for the film.

However, the project has now received approval to include a song featuring Wayne’s vocals by former members of 9ELECTIC, Micah Electric and Mikey Lopez. They have granted Zane permission to feature the track “Destroy As You Go,” originally recorded with Wayne in 2011.

The song features Wayne Static on vocals and is accompanied by a music video showing Micah, his bandmates, Wayne and Tera working together in the studio.

Micah said in a statement:




“I was friends with Wayne and Tera for many years and spent quite a bit of time with them in the Joshua Tree area. Wayne was always a very supportive friend and showed it by singing on two songs for two different bands I was in. He had both of my bands out on tour with Static-X as well. I’m honored to have the song ‘DESTROY AS YOU GO’ featured in Matt’s movie and look forward to seeing the completed film soon!”




Zane’s documentary aims to tell the story of Wayne and Tera’s relationship and lives within the rock and adult entertainment worlds. Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding the project, Zane has continued production and has been sharing updates with fans.

Check out the song and video for “Destroy As You Go” below.

Engorgement Unleash Brutal New Album They Rot Beneath Our Floor – Out March 20 via Comatose Music - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Engorgement Unleash Brutal New Album They Rot Beneath Our Floor – Out March 20 via Comatose Music

UK slam/ brutal death metal outfit Engorgement are set to unleash their long awaited second full length album, They Rot Beneath Our Floor , on March 20, 2026. Packed with crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and merciless percussion, the record marks the band’s triumphant return more than a decade after their debut full length, the pulverizing Excruciating Intestinal Lacerations .

Formed in 2009 in Andover, England, Engorgement began when longtime friends Rich and Stu started writing the heaviest music they could imagine in their bedrooms. Raised in the chaos of the early 2000s skate and gig culture, their mission was simple: create the most brutally unforgiving sound possible. After earlier projects like Gore Sanctum and Disgorged Prolapse, the duo reset and forged Engorgement as their ultimate sonic weapon.

Taking inspiration from legends like Devourment , Dying Fetus , and Suffocation , the band crafted a sound built on crushing groove driven riffs, cavernous gutturals, relentless drumming, and an unapologetically savage atmosphere. Over the years, while members have shifted, founding forces Rich and Stu have remained the driving core. Stu now commands vocals after originally playing guitar on the band’s first release, while Rich continues to anchor the low end with bass and backing vocals.

Drummer Mitch Rider joined the band for the recording of their debut album in 2012 before later spending time performing with Kraanium . Returning to Engorgement in 2024, Rider helped drive the creation of the band’s devastating new record. In 2025 guitarist Rick Hill completed the lineup, bringing an aggressive style that perfectly complements Engorgement’s signature brutality.

The result is They Rot Beneath Our Floor , a grotesque and punishing descent into sonic carnage.

The album opens with the eerie atmosphere of “ Prelude To Your Dismemberment” and closes with the ominous “ Outro,” framing a barrage of crushing brutality in between. Tracks like “ Sanctum Of Gore” deliver titanic waves of filth paired with flesh shredding bursts of speed, while “ Complete Bowel Extraction” plunges listeners into a suffocating storm of grotesque imagery and savage instrumentation. Meanwhile “ Unmerciful Redemption” tests endurance with its relentless assault of bone shattering riffs and punishing tempo shifts.

Mixed and mastered by Floor Van Kuijk of Korpse at GLDCHN Studios, the album boasts a raw, festering power that perfectly captures Engorgement’s unhinged intensity.

Known for their relentless live performances, Engorgement have carved a reputation across Europe with appearances at festivals including Deathfeast, Nice To Eat You, Slamming Brutality, Incineration Fest, Eradication Fest, and UK Slam Fest. With a packed 2026 show schedule ahead and the release of They Rot Beneath Our Floor , the band is poised to unleash utter carnage upon the global slam scene.

When They Rot Beneath Our Floor erupts on March 20 through Comatose Music , fans of extreme brutality should prepare themselves. Engorgement are coming… and there’s always room beneath their floorboards.
