FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UK Deathcore Titans Suffer Unleash New Single and Video “ Pendulum of Vengeance” – Out Now
UK deathcore heavy hitters Suffer have unleashed their crushing new single “ Pendulum of Vengeance,” now available across all major streaming platforms. The band has also released the official music video, which premiered through Slam Worldwide .
Watch the video here:
Formed in late 2018, Suffer wasted no time carving their name into the UK and European deathcore underground. They made their live debut in April 2019 supporting Annotations of an Autopsy in Birmingham, then followed with their first release Slerm in July 2019. What came next was a five year barrage of singles, videos, the Heavy Silence EP, and their debut full length The Sorrow We Sow, The Hatred We Know .
Relentless touring across the UK and Europe saw the band build a reputation for ferocious live shows and no nonsense intensity, sharing stages with some of the most formidable names in the genre.
In April 2024, founding members Ash and Chobba parted ways with the band, closing the first chapter of Suffer’s story. After a transitional period marked by two standalone singles and a one off live appearance, the remaining members made a bold call: reinvent or fade out.
They chose reinvention.
As of August 2025, Suffer re emerged with a revitalised lineup, welcoming Greg Hevican on vocals and Klaudiusz Trzebuniak on guitar. The chemistry was immediate. The direction sharper. The sound heavier and more deliberate. With several explosive live shows already under their belt and an exclusive booking deal signed with DC Sound Attack , Suffer are setting the stage for a defining year.
“ Pendulum of Vengeance” is the first statement from this new era.
The track dives headfirst into the darker side of human instinct, examining the satisfaction and gratification that can come from exacting revenge. It explores the uncomfortable truth that, for many, the first reaction is vengeance rather than peaceful resolution.
The band explains:
“ Pendulum of Vengeance is about the satisfaction and gratification you can take away from exacting revenge upon someone. It represents how this instinct is part of who we are as a species. For most people, our thought process leans toward vengeance before it ever leans toward peaceful resolution.”
They continue:
“ The pendulum symbolises the inevitability of that cycle. No matter what happens when revenge is taken, the pendulum still swings left to right. The person you exact revenge upon will often look to do the same in return. It becomes a continuous, endless cycle.”
The single was written and composed by Suffer, with lyrics by Greg Hevican. Recording and editing were handled by Anthony Wall at Firestorm Studios. Tone creation, mixing, and mastering were completed by Will Cattanach at Freewill Productions. Visual production including photography and videography was captured by Chris at Brooker Films.
This is only the beginning.
A second single is locked in for May, followed by a brand new EP scheduled for release in August 2026. Extensive touring is planned across the UK, Ireland, and mainland Europe, with additional announcements and two European festival slots to be revealed soon.
Suffer are not just back. They are reloaded, recalibrated, and ready to swing.

Mulciber Unleashes Crushing New Single & Video “Ashes of Gehenna” - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Mulciber Unleashes Crushing New Single & Video “ Ashes of Gehenna”
Cleveland, Ohio death metal quartet Mulciber has unleashed their blistering new single and music video, “ Ashes of Gehenna,” released March 13, 2026 . The track serves as the first glimpse into the band’s upcoming full- length album “ Of Insidious Essence,” scheduled for release later this year.
Blending the ferocity of early 2000s era death metal with both modern brutality and old- school savagery, “ Ashes of Gehenna” delivers a relentless sonic assault packed with crushing blast beats, punishing riffs, and a commanding vocal performance that pulls listeners straight into the abyss.
Conceived during the global pandemic in 2020, Mulciber emerged with a clear mission: to fuse multiple eras and styles of death metal into a sound that feels both familiar and fresh within today’s extreme metal landscape. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio , a city with a long and proud history of extreme music, the band channels influences ranging from the genre’s classic foundations to the punishing precision of modern death metal.
Mulciber’s lineup features seasoned musicians from across the underground scene, including Aaron Gall ( ex- Embalmer, ex- Limbsplitter), Dan Gates ( ex- TON, Vicar Blood, Mutual Hostility), along with Ian Lanney and Bill Long . The band first made their mark with their debut EP “ Misery of One,” released in October 2022 through Redefining Darkness Records.
With “ Ashes of Gehenna,” Mulciber pushes their sound even further while remaining firmly rooted in the riff- driven brutality that defines the genre.
“ Aggressive 2000' s era death metal with modern and old- school influences such as Vile, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, Aeon, Blood Red Throne, and Aborted.”
The single showcases the band’s intensified approach heading into their upcoming album “ Of Insidious Essence,” promising a record that doubles down on the crushing intensity fans expect while expanding the band’s sonic arsenal.
“ Ashes of Gehenna” was produced by Tony Tipton , with the accompanying music video created by Chris Walter Visuals .
Fans of Morbid Angel , Suffocation , Aborted , and Blood Red Throne will find plenty to sink their teeth into as Mulciber prepares to unleash their next chapter.

Threnody, Cultic, Thunderchief, Cruel Bomb, and Night Attack featured and reviewed by Soulgrinder Zine! - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Metal Devastation PR Clients Dominate Soulgrinder Zine Coverage
Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that five of its clients— Threnody , Cultic , Thunderchief , Cruel Bomb , and Night Attack — have been featured and reviewed by Soulgrinder Zine , earning high praise for their recent releases and contributions to the metal underground.
Night Attack – Necromancer ( 2025)
Reviewer Paul Caravasi notes the band’s daring blend of black and German thrash metal, calling it “ blistering heaviness, impeccable riffage… mature and stylish, all you need for exposure to in- your- face metal.” Fans of extreme metal looking for something beyond the standard fare will find themselves impressed.
Cruel Bomb ( 2025)
Caravasi declares the Richmond- based thrashers a “ one- man circle pit in your brain,” praising the aggression, razor- sharp riffs, and high- energy crossover thrash that demands attention from the first track to the last. Standout cuts like Scorched Earth and the reworked Atomic Demolition Munition showcase the band’s relentless energy and live- ready intensity.
Thunderchief
Soulgrinder’s in- depth interview with drummer Erik Larson highlights the Richmond duo’s commitment to authenticity and catharsis over fame. Founded in 2006 and solidified in 2018 with Larson joining, Thunderchief continues to grow with a Fall tour on the horizon and new recordings underway, maintaining a steadfast connection to Richmond’s thriving underground music scene.
Cultic
This dark dungeon metal trio from Yoe, PA, impresses with a unique blend of early death- doom, first- wave black metal, and punk, punctuated with dungeon synth interludes. Founders Brian and Rebecca Magar, alongside bassist Andrew Harris, create a cohesive fantasy universe through immersive storytelling and atmospheric music, cementing their place in the Pennsylvania metal landscape.
Threnody
Representing Reading, PA’s old school death metal scene since 1989, Threnody continues to deliver relentless OSDM with a refined visual identity and strong social media presence. Currently on Sodeh Records’ Metal Incorporated division, the band remains a key pillar of Pennsylvania’s underground metal community.
Metal Devastation PR continues to champion extreme music talent worldwide, offering promotion, media placement, and artist support for bands breaking new ground in metal’s most aggressive and creative forms.

Six Feet Under Announce Next to Die Album – New Single “Unmistakable Smell of Death” Streaming Now - @thebeast
Six Feet Under Announce Next to Die Album – New Single “Unmistakable Smell of Death” Streaming Now
American death metal legends Six Feet Under are back with a brand new studio album. Titled Next to Die , the record is set for release on April 24 via Metal Blade Records . Alongside the announcement, the band has unleashed the brutal new single “Unmistakable Smell of Death” and confirmed a massive North American tour for Summer 2026.
For longtime fans of classic death metal, this release marks another major milestone for a band that has been grinding since the mid-1990s.
A New Chapter in the Six Feet Under Legacy
Next to Die will be the 15th full-length album from Six Feet Under , continuing a legacy that began with their 1995 debut Haunted . The band was founded by vocalist Chris Barnes after departing Cannibal Corpse , where he had previously helped shape the early sound of death metal.
The new album features 12 tracks and showcases a creative direction that blends raw aggression with the groove that helped define the band’s early sound.
Guitarist Jack Owen explains that the songwriting approach naturally split the album into two distinct sonic styles.
One half focuses on fast, aggressive death metal , while the other leans into groove-driven riffs reminiscent of classic Six Feet Under material . This dual concept gave the band room to experiment while staying true to their roots.
Barnes emphasized tempo during the writing process, encouraging Owen to craft songs inspired by the BPM and feel of the band’s earlier releases.
The result is an album that balances old-school brutality with thick, crushing grooves , giving longtime fans exactly what they expect while still pushing forward creatively.
“Unmistakable Smell of Death” Sets the Tone
The first single from Next to Die , “Unmistakable Smell of Death,” delivers everything fans love about the band: punishing riffs, relentless pace, and a dark cinematic narrative.
According to Owen, the song started with riffs pulled from his personal archive before being updated and reworked into the finished track.
The story behind the lyrics is pure death metal storytelling. The song follows a killer who toys with a victim before giving them a chance to fight back. The plan backfires, and the victim ultimately turns the tables, killing the attacker in brutal fashion.
The twist brings the song full circle as the “smell of death” ends up belonging to the killer himself.
Production and Recording Details
Next to Die was produced by Barnes and Owen , continuing the creative partnership the pair reignited in 2017.
Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Mark Lewis at MRL Studios in Nashville , known for delivering heavy and polished production across the metal spectrum.
The album follows the band’s 2024 release Killing for Revenge and represents the third record created by Barnes and Owen since their reunion .
Rather than planning themes together, Barnes says both musicians simply write about whatever inspires them at the moment.
That approach has helped keep the songwriting authentic and unpredictable.
Six Feet Under Current Lineup
The modern lineup of Six Feet Under features a devastating roster of veteran musicians:
Chris Barnes – vocals
Jack Owen – guitar
Ray Suhy – lead guitar
Jeff Hughell – bass
Marco Pitruzzella – drums
Together they form one of the tightest and most aggressive versions of the band to date.
Next to Die Tracklist
The album features twelve new tracks:
Approach Your Grave
Destroyed Remains
Mister Blood and Guts
Mutilated Corpse in the Woods
Unmistakable Smell of Death
Wrath and Terror Takes Command
Skin Coffins
Mind Hell
Naked and Dismembered
Grasped from Beyond
Next to Die
Ill Wishes
Vinyl Variants and Pre-Orders
Next to Die will be available on CD, digital, and multiple vinyl variants , including:
180g Black (EU)
Red with Black Smoke (US)
Bone Brown Marbled (EU – limited to 500)
Blue Grey Marbled (EU – limited to 300)
Blood Splatter (EU – limited to 300)
Bone White Green Splatter (EU – limited to 200)
With limited runs across several colors, collectors will likely want to grab these quickly.
Six Feet Under 2026 North American Tour
To support the album, Six Feet Under will launch a North American headlining tour beginning July 8 in Detroit and running through August 11 in Chicago .
Joining them on the road will be Canadian death metal veterans Kataklysm along with technical death metal crushers Wormhole .
Barnes expressed excitement about returning to the road and especially about playing Canada again after many years away.
Fans can expect a set packed with classics and new material from Next to Die .
A Veteran Death Metal Band Still Crushing
Few bands have remained as consistently active as Six Feet Under . With fifteen albums spanning three decades, the band continues to prove that old-school death metal still has plenty of bite.
Next to Die promises a mix of ferocity, groove, and classic horror-driven storytelling , keeping the band firmly planted in the genre they helped build.
The album arrives April 24 through Metal Blade Records , and judging by the first single, the death metal veterans are far from slowing down.

For longtime fans of classic death metal, this release marks another major milestone for a band that has been grinding since the mid-1990s.
A New Chapter in the Six Feet Under Legacy
Next to Die will be the 15th full-length album from Six Feet Under , continuing a legacy that began with their 1995 debut Haunted . The band was founded by vocalist Chris Barnes after departing Cannibal Corpse , where he had previously helped shape the early sound of death metal.
The new album features 12 tracks and showcases a creative direction that blends raw aggression with the groove that helped define the band’s early sound.
Guitarist Jack Owen explains that the songwriting approach naturally split the album into two distinct sonic styles.
One half focuses on fast, aggressive death metal , while the other leans into groove-driven riffs reminiscent of classic Six Feet Under material . This dual concept gave the band room to experiment while staying true to their roots.
Barnes emphasized tempo during the writing process, encouraging Owen to craft songs inspired by the BPM and feel of the band’s earlier releases.
The result is an album that balances old-school brutality with thick, crushing grooves , giving longtime fans exactly what they expect while still pushing forward creatively.
“Unmistakable Smell of Death” Sets the Tone
The first single from Next to Die , “Unmistakable Smell of Death,” delivers everything fans love about the band: punishing riffs, relentless pace, and a dark cinematic narrative.
According to Owen, the song started with riffs pulled from his personal archive before being updated and reworked into the finished track.
The story behind the lyrics is pure death metal storytelling. The song follows a killer who toys with a victim before giving them a chance to fight back. The plan backfires, and the victim ultimately turns the tables, killing the attacker in brutal fashion.
The twist brings the song full circle as the “smell of death” ends up belonging to the killer himself.
Production and Recording Details
Next to Die was produced by Barnes and Owen , continuing the creative partnership the pair reignited in 2017.
Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Mark Lewis at MRL Studios in Nashville , known for delivering heavy and polished production across the metal spectrum.
The album follows the band’s 2024 release Killing for Revenge and represents the third record created by Barnes and Owen since their reunion .
Rather than planning themes together, Barnes says both musicians simply write about whatever inspires them at the moment.
That approach has helped keep the songwriting authentic and unpredictable.
Six Feet Under Current Lineup
The modern lineup of Six Feet Under features a devastating roster of veteran musicians:
Chris Barnes – vocals
Jack Owen – guitar
Ray Suhy – lead guitar
Jeff Hughell – bass
Marco Pitruzzella – drums
Together they form one of the tightest and most aggressive versions of the band to date.
Next to Die Tracklist
The album features twelve new tracks:
Approach Your Grave
Destroyed Remains
Mister Blood and Guts
Mutilated Corpse in the Woods
Unmistakable Smell of Death
Wrath and Terror Takes Command
Skin Coffins
Mind Hell
Naked and Dismembered

Vinyl Variants and Pre-Orders
Next to Die will be available on CD, digital, and multiple vinyl variants , including:

Bone Brown Marbled (EU – limited to 500)
Blue Grey Marbled (EU – limited to 300)
Blood Splatter (EU – limited to 300)

With limited runs across several colors, collectors will likely want to grab these quickly.
Six Feet Under 2026 North American Tour
To support the album, Six Feet Under will launch a North American headlining tour beginning July 8 in Detroit and running through August 11 in Chicago .
Joining them on the road will be Canadian death metal veterans Kataklysm along with technical death metal crushers Wormhole .
Barnes expressed excitement about returning to the road and especially about playing Canada again after many years away.
Fans can expect a set packed with classics and new material from Next to Die .
A Veteran Death Metal Band Still Crushing
Few bands have remained as consistently active as Six Feet Under . With fifteen albums spanning three decades, the band continues to prove that old-school death metal still has plenty of bite.
Next to Die promises a mix of ferocity, groove, and classic horror-driven storytelling , keeping the band firmly planted in the genre they helped build.
The album arrives April 24 through Metal Blade Records , and judging by the first single, the death metal veterans are far from slowing down.
