FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HUBRIS UNLEASH RELENTLESS BLACK METAL ONSLAUGHT “ACTS OF SEDITION” — OUT NOW

Buffalo, NY — Black metal veterans Hubris have officially unleashed their long-awaited full-length assault, Acts of Sedition , available now for extreme music fans worldwide.


https://truehubris.bandcamp.com/album/acts-of-sedition />
Since erupting from the Buffalo underground in 2008, Hubris—founded by brothers Hellskald and Lichfiend alongside Melkorpse, with Deragore joining on drums in 2010—have delivered 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 with appearances at Hell Over Akron and Slutfest, the band has left audiences in smoldering ruins with their searing live performances. Fans of Gorgoroth, 1349, and Tsjuder will feel right at home in the band’s unrelenting sonic warpath.

Acts of Sedition stands as Hubris’ definitive statement: nearly an hour of scalding black metal tracked across multiple states beginning in late 2022, with final mastering completed in 2025. Following the debut single “Lightless Lantern,” praised by No Clean Singing as “a destructive warzone of bloodthirsty delirium,” the full album delivers 54 minutes of relentless blast beats, razor-sharp riffs, and venomous vocals that cut straight to the core of humanity’s darkest instincts.

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 devastation.

Now available on all major platforms, Acts of Sedition marks a new peak in the band’s evolution and a must-hear release for fans of uncompromising extreme metal.

PHENOMY EARN PERFECT 10/10 AS “PHANTASMAGORIA” DOMINATES WITH CINEMATIC METAL INTENSITY - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

PHENOMY EARN PERFECT 10/10 AS “PHANTASMAGORIA” DOMINATES WITH CINEMATIC METAL INTENSITY

Beirut, Lebanon – Lebanese metal force Phenomy are making serious waves with the release of their latest full-length album Phantasmagoria , now available worldwide via Art Gates Records. Already turning heads across the global metal scene, the album has just secured a perfect 10/10 rating from Rock Queen Reviews , cementing its place as one of the year’s most powerful and immersive releases.

Blending melodic thrash, groove metal, and atmospheric depth with subtle Middle Eastern influences, Phantasmagoria delivers exactly what its name promises, a dark, surreal, and emotionally charged journey through chaos, inner conflict, and psychological intensity.

Rock Queen Reviews didn’t hold back, calling the album “a kaleidoscopic thrill ride of sound” and praising its balance of brutality and melody, stating:




“Darkness and light enshroud it with a powerful cloak of atmosphere… intriguingly intricate and inventive.”




From the haunting opening “Prologue” to the crushing closer “I, Witness,” the review highlights Phenomy’s ability to seamlessly fuse genres while maintaining a clear identity rooted in heavy, groove-driven aggression. Tracks like “Gambit” were singled out as “just superb,” while “Phantasmagoria” itself was described as a song you can “easily get lost in.”

Formed in 2014, Phenomy have steadily built a reputation as one of the Middle East’s most formidable metal exports. After the success of their debut Once And For All , which helped land them a slot representing Lebanon at Wacken Open Air , the band has continued to rise through major festival appearances and international recognition.

With Phantasmagoria , their fourth studio album, Phenomy push their sound further than ever before, darker, heavier, and more cinematic, without sacrificing the raw power that got them here in the first place.

The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Jaro Sound, with additional production by Loïc El Haddad, and recorded across Sound Pressure Studios, Ontune Studios, and Grotesque Productions. The striking artwork by Stefan Koidl perfectly captures the album’s eerie, theatrical atmosphere.

For fans of Machine Head , Lamb of God , and Gojira , Phantasmagoria is a must-hear, delivering a massive, cinematic sound that hits hard and sticks with you.

At The Gates Unleash “The Dissonant Void” – A Glimpse Into a Monumental Final Chapter - @thebeast

Swedish melodic death metal legends At The Gates are back with a crushing new single, “The Dissonant Void,” offering fans a powerful second taste of their upcoming album The Ghost of a Future Dead , set for release April 24 via Century Media Records .

Right out of the gate, this track hits like a freight train. Sharp, melodic, and stripped of excess, it’s everything longtime fans expect from At The Gates. The band even revealed that the song was originally considered as the album’s title track, which tells you just how central it is to the overall vision.




A Visual and Sonic Experience


The video for “The Dissonant Void,” once again crafted by visionary collaborator Costin Chioreanu , is more than just a music video. It’s the opening chapter in a much larger conceptual piece tied to the entire album.

Chioreanu describes the project as a massive undertaking, building a dark and immersive visual universe that mirrors the emotional weight and lyrical depth of the record. This isn’t just promo content. It’s a full-on artistic extension of the album itself, with more to be revealed as the complete visual project rolls out.






A Legacy Etched in Darkness


The Ghost of a Future Dead carries a weight that goes far beyond music. It stands as the final work of frontman Tomas Lindberg , who passed away in September 2025 following complications from cancer treatment.

According to the band, Lindberg was deeply involved in every aspect of the album before his passing. From the title and artwork to the track order and sonic direction, this record reflects his vision down to the finest detail.

No shortcuts. No compromises. Just legacy.

“This album is Tomas’ legacy,” the band stated. And from everything we’ve heard so far, they mean it.




Built With Precision and Power


The album was recorded and mixed by renowned producer Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, ensuring a polished yet ferocious sound. Visually, it’s backed by artwork from Robert Samsonowitz , further reinforcing the album’s dark and immersive aesthetic.

Clocking in at just over 42 minutes, the album delivers a tight, focused assault across 12 tracks, including:

The Fever Mask
The Dissonant Void
A Ritual of Waste
Tomb of Heaven
Black Hole Emission

…and more.




A Worthy Follow-Up


This release follows 2021’s The Nightmare of Being , an album that showed At The Gates pushing their boundaries. This time around, they’ve sharpened the blade. The result feels more direct, more emotional, and arguably more intense.




Formats for the Diehards


Collectors, you’re in luck. The Ghost of a Future Dead will be available in multiple formats, including limited-edition vinyl variants, CD editions, and digital releases. Some exclusive pressings have already sold out, so if you’re planning to grab one, don’t sit on it.




Final Thoughts


“The Dissonant Void” proves that even in the face of loss, At The Gates remain a dominant force. This isn’t just another album cycle. It’s a farewell carved in stone, a tribute to a legend, and a reminder of why this band helped shape an entire genre.

If this track is any indication, April 24 isn’t just a release date. It’s going to be a moment.

Stay tuned. This one’s going to hit hard.

We All Rise Unleashes Debut Album “The Beginning of the End” - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

We All Rise Unleashes Debut Album “The Beginning of the End”

Rising metal and hardcore force We All Rise has officially dropped their debut full-length, The Beginning of the End , via Golden Robot Records . A ferocious blend of 90s-inspired metal, hardcore grooves, and modern hard rock edge, the album announces the arrival of a band ready to leave an indelible mark on the scene.

Formed from years of shared musical journeys, We All Rise unites four seasoned musicians with diverse backgrounds— Gery Grey (vocals), Choupah Brutality (drums), Joel Von Schlamauss (bass), and XIII (guitars)—into a powerful unit delivering shredding riffs, dynamic vocal textures, and hard-hitting grooves. Their sound, simultaneously nostalgic and forward-thinking, resonates with fans of Sepultura, Pantera, and Biohazard alike.

During the album’s recording, a standout moment emerged when Billy Graziadei invited Evan Seinfeld to contribute vocals on the track Crown . This collaboration marked the first time the founding members of Biohazard had shared a track in over a decade, sparking a reunion of the original lineup now dominating stages worldwide.

Produced by Graziadei himself and expertly mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Suicide Silence), The Beginning of the End captures a band at the peak of creative synergy. The album is an emotional and sonic journey through collapse, resilience, and rebirth, exploring the end of the familiar and the hope that emerges on the other side.

Golden Robot Records comments:
"The Beginning of the End is the boldest, most cathartic statement from We All Rise yet. Towering riffs, haunting melodies, and raw lyrical storytelling combine to make an album that hits hard while leaving a lasting impression."

Listeners can stream and purchase the album now on all major platforms:

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Simon Ostini Unleashes Blazing New Instrumental Single “Waltz of the Vultures” – Out April 17, 2026

Rising Austrian guitar virtuoso Simon Ostini is set to release his explosive new instrumental single Waltz of the Vultures on April 17, 2026, via Hellbound Records. Fusing high-octane shred, melodic metal, and cinematic flair, the track delivers a relentless showcase of precision, speed, and expressive guitar mastery that’s guaranteed to turn heads in the global metal scene.

Fans of Gus G. , Andy James , and Marty Friedman will find plenty to sink their teeth into, as Ostini channels both technical firepower and memorable phrasing into a track that balances flash with feel. Waltz of the Vultures isn’t just a shred fest, it’s a calculated, dynamic composition that highlights his evolution as both a player and a songwriter.

Simon Ostini’s journey began at the age of seven, quickly developing into a lifelong pursuit of excellence. During his teenage years, he cut his teeth with hard rock outfit StageFright, recording an album and an EP while touring internationally. Those early experiences laid the groundwork for his reputation as a highly skilled and dedicated guitarist.

As his online presence grew through jaw-dropping guitar performances, Ostini caught the attention of major brands like Marshall Amplification , Beyerdynamic , and Polychrome DSP , leading to collaborations that further cemented his standing in the guitar community.

After relocating to Sweden post-graduation, Ostini released his solo album Witches and expanded his reach as a session guitarist, contributing to multiple projects including a feature appearance on the debut album of Swiss metal band I Won’t Skye . In August 2025, he joined German metal act ELA , contributing guitar work to several singles and their upcoming studio release.

Drawing inspiration from legendary players such as John Sykes , Doug Aldrich , Satchel , Buckethead , and Vinnie Vincent , Ostini continues to push his sound forward while staying rooted in the traditions of classic and modern metal guitar.

Simon Ostini – Guitar, Bass
Glenn Welman – Drums
Stefan Iwainsky – Mixing, Arrangement

With Waltz of the Vultures , Simon Ostini proves he’s not just another fast player, he’s building a name as a serious force in the modern instrumental metal world. Expect soaring leads, razor-sharp execution, and a track that hits just as hard emotionally as it does technically.

Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu-Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover) - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu-Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover)

Costa Rica’s long-reigning metal force, Sight of Emptiness, returns with a powerful and deeply personal release: a reimagined cover of “Break Stuff,” the iconic anthem by Limp Bizkit . Dropping March 25th, this version is more than a tribute. It’s a full-force statement from a band that has spent two decades carving its own path through the global metal underground.

Blending Nu Metal intensity with Groove Metal weight, Sight of Emptiness injects their signature sonic identity into the track while honoring the raw energy that defined an era. Fans of Deftones , Korn , and Limp Bizkit will find themselves right at home in this explosive reinterpretation.

Originally conceived as a passion project celebrating the golden age of late ‘90s and early 2000s metal, the release took on deeper meaning following the passing of Sam Rivers in 2025. What began as homage evolved into a heartfelt, posthumous tribute, honoring Rivers’ influence and the sonic blueprint that continues to inspire generations.

Produced, mixed, and mastered by acclaimed producer Thomas "Plec" Johansson (known for his work with Opeth and Soilwork ) at Bohus Studio in Sweden, the track strikes a rare balance between old-school authenticity and modern precision. The result is a version of “Break Stuff” that feels both nostalgic and urgently relevant.

Sight of Emptiness brings serious pedigree to the table. Over a 20-year independent career, they’ve released five albums, toured globally from Iceland to Japan, and shared stages with heavyweights like Testament , In Flames , Arch Enemy , Behemoth , Nightwish , Dimmu Borgir , Dark Tranquillity , and Machine Head . They’ve ignited crowds at Bloodstock Open Air and made history as the first Central American band to perform on the 70000 Tons of Metal .

On their home turf, they’ve supported legends such as Black Sabbath , Slayer , Megadeth , and Amon Amarth , cementing their status as Costa Rica’s premier metal export.

The band shares:




“Seeing Limp Bizkit play our home soil confirmed that recording this track was the right move. The emotions from that live experience reaffirmed the power of these anthems today—they feel fresher and more necessary than ever. It’s about catharsis. You get that release through music without actually having to act it out. Why did we do it? Why not? It’s a necessary purge.”




Far from a carbon-copy cover, this version of “Break Stuff” channels the chaos, brotherhood, and emotional release that defined a generation—while pushing it forward with modern firepower.

Crisp visuals, crushing sound, and a front-row view of a band that’s quickly building a reputation for delivering the goods on stage. If you want to know what Hel Hath Fury is all about, this is it.
