FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Haze Mage Unleashes Final Album High Fantasy Alongside Last-Ever Live Show

Baltimore, MD – Haze Mage, the Baltimore-based purveyors of sword-and-sorcery doom metal, are set to release their highly anticipated full-length album High Fantasy on April 18, 2026. Coinciding with the album drop, the band will perform their final live show at The Ottobar during their signature Grim Reefer Fest, bringing six years of riff-driven fantasy metal to a triumphant close.

Since forming in late 2015, Haze Mage has forged a distinctive sound steeped in doom, stoner, and hard rock influences, drawing inspiration from legends such as Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. Their music conjures vast dark forests, savage beasts, and haunting mystical realms, earning them a dedicated following in the Baltimore metal scene.

Haze Mage’s debut EP, Blood Mist (2017, Grimoire Records), was praised by outlets like The Obelisk , Worldwide Underground , and Heavy Planet for its atmospheric, psychedelic, and unforgettable sound. Over the years, the band has delivered commanding live performances at Artscape, Days of Darkness Festival (Maryland Death Fest), Shadow Woods Metal Fest, and Light City, while maintaining a strong presence at local venues including Metro Gallery, The Ottobar, Nevermore Hall, and Soundstage.

High Fantasy is an epic 9-track journey that represents the culmination of Haze Mage’s saga. As the band explains, “This album is the culmination of six years of songwriting through an ever-changing world of soaring victories, eternal struggles, and finding support in those around you when you need it most. It’s also about mysteriously magical weed shops and vampiric brains flying out of bodies and terrorizing villages at night.”

Recorded between January and March 2026 at Tiny Castle with producer, mixer, and mastering engineer Noel Mueller, and featuring artwork by John DeCampos/Ghost Bat Illustration, High Fantasy delivers the full Haze Mage experience in both sound and story.

The band lineup for this final chapter includes Kevin Considine (Guitar), Nick Jewett (Guitar), John De Campos (Drums), Scott Brenner (Bass), and Matthew Casella (Vocals). While Haze Mage will be taking an indefinite hiatus after April 18, they plan to continue Grim Reefer Fest, supporting the underground metal community they helped cultivate.

High Fantasy is available for pre-order now on Bandcamp:
https://hazemage.bandcamp.com/album/high-fantasy, with the full release arriving April 18th, 2026, alongside their final live performance.

Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that a powerhouse lineup of its roster artists, Neckbreaker, Stellagen, Brainmaze, Balistic, AntiMozdeBeast, and Hexjakt, have been featured in the March issue of Rock Hard Magazine , appearing in an issue led by metal heavyweights Lamb of God. This recognition shines a spotlight on a diverse international wave of artists pushing metal forward while staying rooted in authenticity.

From politically charged thrash to cosmic concept albums, bass-driven collaborations, progressive storytelling, and experimental extremity, these bands prove the underground is alive, loud, and evolving.

Featured Artists:

Neckbreaker – “Rabbia Cilena” (Chilean Rage)
Hailing from Santiago, Chile, Neckbreaker deliver uncompromising thrash rooted in real-world struggle. Their debut Mental Void channels the legacy of Chilean metal born under dictatorship, tackling themes of social control, inequality, and modern alienation. With razor-sharp riffs and a refusal to follow trends, Neckbreaker embody thrash in its purest, most defiant form.

Stellagen – “From Dying Stars to Infinity”
The brainchild of Australia’s Phil Brown, Stellagen merges death, power, and thrash metal into a sweeping sci-fi narrative. Across two interconnected albums forming a musical palindrome, the project explores cosmic origins, extinction, and existential decay. Influenced by melodic and progressive metal greats, Stellagen delivers both technical precision and conceptual depth.

Brainmaze – “When Your Demons Come”
Bulgarian bassist Ivan Shishkov brings a fresh twist to heavy metal with Brainmaze, an international collaboration built around bass-driven compositions.

Balistic – “The Parson’s Tale”
U.S. progressive metal veterans Balistic return with an ambitious concept album exploring the seven deadly sins and their opposing virtues. Drawing from philosophy, theology, and classic progressive influences, The Parson’s Tale reflects on human nature while setting the stage for a potential future rock opera production.

AntiMozdeBeast – “The Vagrant Unkempt Grave”
A descent into chaos and nihilism, AntiMozdeBeast is the vision of Gabriel Palacio, blending black metal with industrial noise into a disturbing sonic landscape. This release is less an album and more an experience, dragging listeners into a fractured world of dissonance and decay.
Rating: 7.5/10

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

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.
