JUMPSCARE ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE “CALL OF THE WILD” - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JUMPSCARE ANNOUNCE NEW SINGLE “CALL OF THE WILD”
Italian Melodic Death Metal Force Unleash a Cinematic New Chapter in Their Evolving Concept
Italian melodic death metal band JUMPSCARE will release their new single “Call Of The Wild” on October 20, 2026 , through Vault Lab , with distribution via Sepulchral Silence Distribution .
More than a standalone single, “Call Of The Wild” represents a pivotal chapter in the conceptual world Jumpscare have been developing across their recent material. Following “Dear Mother” and “Rise And Fall,” the new track continues a narrative that will ultimately converge in the band’s forthcoming concept album.
At the heart of “Call Of The Wild” is the struggle to break free from an artificial and alienating modern world and reconnect with something deeper. The “wild” is not simply nature. It represents instinct, identity, origins and the primal part of ourselves that modern society often forces us to suppress.
Musically, Jumpscare expand upon their melodic death metal foundation with darker atmospheres, sharp guitar work, crushing rhythms, emotionally charged melodies and a broader cinematic approach. Drawing influence from the likes of In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Heaven Shall Burn, Lamb Of God, Lorna Shore, At The Gates, The Haunted, Winds Of Plague and The Halo Effect , the band continue pushing their sound toward a more modern and expansive territory without abandoning their roots.
Adding another dimension to the release, “Call Of The Wild” will arrive in three distinct versions :
CALL OF THE WILD – Original Version
The full Jumpscare experience, combining aggression, melody and cinematic atmosphere.
CALL OF THE WILD – Instrumental Version
A stripped-back perspective that places the composition, arrangements and musicianship front and center.
CALL OF THE WILD – Orchestral Version
A cinematic reinterpretation that expands the emotional and atmospheric elements of the song.
Rather than functioning as simple bonus tracks, the three versions offer different perspectives on the same composition, emphasizing the song's aggression, musicianship and cinematic character.
The production reflects the band's continued evolution. Simone Pietroforte handled mixing and mastering at Divergent Studios in Bari , with credits including Distant and Sign Of The Swarm, while Sebastiano Di Martino handled guitar and vocal production at SDM Recording Studio , with credits including Moscow Death Brigade and Siberian Meat Grinder. Drums and bass were recorded at Vault Lab , making the track another production rooted entirely in Southern Italy.
The visual world surrounding “Call Of The Wild” is equally important. Jumpscare continue to reveal their forthcoming album's story piece by piece through individual songs, lyrics and videos rather than revealing the entire concept at once. The official video once again features a collaboration with Horizon Productions , further strengthening the cinematic identity of this new era.
“Call Of The Wild” ultimately exists at the intersection of aggression and introspection, instinct and control, heaviness and orchestration. It is about stripping away the layers imposed by modern life and remembering what remains underneath.
For Jumpscare, this is more than another single.
It is a return to instinct, identity and origins, and another step into the world they are gradually revealing through their forthcoming concept album.
“Call Of The Wild” will be released October 20, 2026.

VESPERIAN WELCOMES THE MOSAIC WINDOW, ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ANSWERED PRAYERS - @thebeast
VESPERIAN WELCOMES THE MOSAIC WINDOW, ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM ANSWERED PRAYERS
Black Metal Project Led by Andrew Steven Brown Returns to Its Rawest Roots With New Single “What Sage Could Not Cleanse”
Vesperian has officially welcomed The Mosaic Window , the black metal project of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Andrew Steven Brown , to its roster. The signing arrives alongside the release of the project's new single, “What Sage Could Not Cleanse,” which serves as the first preview of the forthcoming studio album Answered Prayers , due November 13, 2026.
With Answered Prayers , The Mosaic Window takes a deliberate step away from the more polished, progressive approach heard on 2024's Hemasanctum , returning instead to the project's original foundation of first and second wave black metal.
The result is described as a rawer and more stripped-down expression of the project, built around atmospheric rasps of despair, buried death growls, and an intentionally unpolished sense of darkness.
At the heart of Answered Prayers is a bleak nihilistic concept. Across ten tracks, the album explores a world in which humanity is erased retroactively, centuries before the Industrial Revolution, presented as the only possible cure for a poisoned world.
It is a concept that fits naturally with The Mosaic Window's increasingly bleak musical identity.
“What Sage Could Not Cleanse”
The newly released “What Sage Could Not Cleanse” offers the first glimpse into this return to the project's roots.
An older composition revived for Answered Prayers , the track represents the direction Brown wanted to take with the new record. Raw, atmospheric, and stripped of unnecessary polish, it establishes the album's central philosophy: some things cannot be purified once they have already crossed the point of no return.
Rather than chasing a modernized or overly polished interpretation of black metal, The Mosaic Window embraces the genre's darker traditions, allowing atmosphere, aggression, and bleakness to carry the weight.
The accompanying video for “What Sage Could Not Cleanse” is available now.
A Return to the Beginning
Answered Prayers follows a progression that has seen The Mosaic Window evolve across three previous releases.
Brown first introduced the project with the Hollow EP in 2021, followed by the full-length Plight of Acceptance in 2023. The 2024 album Hemasanctum expanded the project's sound into a more progressive death/black metal hybrid.
With Answered Prayers , Brown is intentionally looking backward rather than forward, returning to the raw black metal foundation that originally shaped The Mosaic Window.
The album features Brown handling all instruments and vocals , with Dmitry Kim , known for his work with Jinjer and other projects, contributing session drums.
Production duties were handled by Alex Sedin of Ghostalgy Productions , who mixed and mastered the album. The cover artwork comes from Luciana Nedelea , whose work has also appeared on releases from Mare Cognitum , Sepulchral Curse , and others.
The Mosaic Window
The Mosaic Window remains a one-person black metal project centered entirely around Andrew Steven Brown, allowing the project's musical and conceptual direction to remain firmly under his control.
The upcoming Answered Prayers continues that approach while stripping away much of the polish of its predecessor in favor of something harsher, colder, and more rooted in the foundations of the genre.
For listeners drawn to the atmosphere and uncompromising spirit of early black metal, Answered Prayers looks to be a significant return to form for the project, while “What Sage Could Not Cleanse” provides the first dark glimpse into what awaits in November.
Answered Prayers will be released November 13, 2026 via Vesperian .

FLIGHT OF ODIN UNVEILS HAUNTING VIDEO FOR “INSIDIOUS DISGUISE” - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
FLIGHT OF ODIN UNVEILS HAUNTING VIDEO FOR “INSIDIOUS DISGUISE”
Critically Acclaimed Doom Metal Outfit Brings Victorian Horror, Steampunk Imagery and Dark Mythology to Life
Washington, D.C.-area melodic psychedelic doom metal outfit FLIGHT OF ODIN has unveiled a haunting new video for “Insidious Disguise,” featured as Track 3 on Disc Two of the band's 2026 double album, I Traveled The Crooked Path .
The video draws heavily from Victorian-era, Steampunk, and medieval Romanian imagery , evoking the shadowy presence of Count Dracula while exploring themes of deception, control, religion versus paganism, and self-identity .
Is the mask slipping? Is the veil lifting?
The theatrical visuals provide a dark counterpart to Flight of Odin's atmospheric blend of melodic doom, psychedelic rock, progressive music, classical influences, and traditional heavy metal .
The new video arrives following significant recognition for I Traveled The Crooked Path . Rock Hard Magazine awarded the album a 9/10 rating and named it Self-Production Of The Month , praising the band's dreamlike psychedelic atmosphere, melodic sensibility, experimental passages, prominent piano work, and the warm, magnetic vocals of Xyra .
Flight of Odin has also been featured on Metallurg Music Compilation No. 8 - Part 2 , further expanding the band's presence throughout the underground metal community.
Released June 30, 2026 through Riding The Dragonfly LTD , I Traveled The Crooked Path showcases Flight of Odin's most ambitious work to date. The double album combines material from the band's current lineup with remastered material from the Goddess In Smoke era, creating a release that connects the band's past with its evolving present.
The current lineup features Xyra on vocals, Tyler Beddow on guitar, Andrew Cann on bass and keyboards, and Kenny Finger on drums and percussion.
The band recently discussed the album, songwriting, recording without click tracks, classic metal influences, and the importance of keeping music human during an extensive interview on The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio .

GHOST PIPE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE UNKNOWN WITH NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THE AWAKENING - @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GHOST PIPE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE UNKNOWN WITH NEW SINGLE FROM UPCOMING ALBUM THE AWAKENING
Grand Rapids, Michigan Stoner/Doom Outfit Delivers a Dense, Psychedelic Journey Into Darkness, Transformation, and Self-Discovery
GRAND RAPIDS, MI — Grand Rapids, Michigan stoner/doom metal outfit Ghost Pipe has unleashed a new single from its forthcoming full-length album The Awakening , offering listeners a first glimpse into a record built around crushing riffs, swirling psychedelia, introspection, and the darker corners of the human experience.
Blending elements of stoner rock, heavy psych, doom metal, sludge, and doomgaze , Ghost Pipe creates a sound that feels equally at home in a smoke-filled basement, a windswept forest, or somewhere far beyond the known universe. For fans of Acid Bath, Monster Magnet, and Monolord , the band's music moves between massive fuzz-driven grooves and expansive atmospheric passages, creating a sonic landscape that is heavy without sacrificing depth or imagination.
The new single serves as an introduction to the world of The Awakening , an album that challenges listeners to look beyond the surface and confront the parts of themselves that are often left unexplored.
“The Awakening is a journey beneath the surface, into the dark roots of the self. It asks you to open your mind, confront what lies hidden within, and face the parts of yourself that are easier to leave in the shadows. Like roots growing unseen beneath the earth, the deepest knowledge often comes from places we rarely choose to explore. These songs move through darkness, transformation, and the strange spaces between the known and unknown. What you find down there is yours to carry, and yours to grow from.”
Rather than simply delivering another collection of heavy songs, Ghost Pipe approaches The Awakening as a cerebral experience , encouraging the listener to open their mind, look inward, and grow through the knowledge discovered along the way.
The album was recorded and mixed by Joel Ferguson of The Verve Pipe at Planet Sunday Studio and mastered by Carl Saff at Saff Mastering , whose extensive credits include mastering and remastering work for artists including Elder. The record's visual identity comes through artwork by Nathan Galusa , with photography by Jessica Taboada .
Ghost Pipe's lineup features:
Allen Milbourne – Vocals, Effects
Travis Federau – Guitar, Vocals
Wyatt Federau – Guitar, Samples
Georg Rumpf – Bass, Synthesizer
Simon Hill – Drums
All music by Ghost Pipe.
The Awakening will be released through Black Doomba Records on November 20, 2026 , with the album's pre-sale beginning October 30, 2026 .
For Ghost Pipe, The Awakening is an invitation to go deeper. Beneath the distortion, the feedback, the massive grooves, and the psychedelic haze is a record about confronting what lives beneath the surface and emerging with something new.
The journey has begun.
