VULNIFICUS Unleash Their Debut Full-Length INCLINATION — A Surgical Strike of Brutal Death Metal Extremity Out Now on Comatose Music - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VULNIFICUS Unleash Their Debut Full-Length INCLINATION — A Surgical Strike of Brutal Death Metal Extremity
Out Now on Comatose Music

VULNIFICUS have officially dropped their long-awaited first full-length album INCLINATION , and it’s already making the brutal death metal underground sit up straight like they got hit with a defibrillator. After four years of grinding through EPs, lineup changes, tours, and nonstop evolution, the band has arrived with a fully realized, fully weaponized statement piece.

INCLINATION is a vicious concept album that drags listeners into the mind and downfall of a corrupt medical provider who manipulates the system, blackmails colleagues, overdoses patients, and ultimately faces execution for his crimes. Each track dives into a different chapter of this spiral, turning the record into a grim, gripping experience built on tension, violence and suffocating heaviness.

This debut full-length marks a major milestone for VULNIFICUS. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Scot Moriarty at Backroom Studios in Rockaway, New Jersey, with additional vocal tracking by E. Browne at Superlative Sound in Pittsburgh, the album hits with a clarity and brutality that stands miles above anything the band has done before. It's the definitive sound of VULNIFICUS leveling up.

Since forming in 2021, the band has pulled brutal death metal back to its raw, no-nonsense roots while injecting enough modern power to flatten a small city. Their early releases INNOMINATION and INVOCATION won over diehards worldwide, leading to a sold-out Indonesian tape release, a U.S. tour with Cordyceps, and festival slots like Gulfcoast Deathfest. With a fully locked-in lineup—Eston (vocals), Jamison Parker and Evan Daniele (guitars), Mike Jones (bass), and Jason McLean (drums)—VULNIFICUS are entering this new era firing on every cylinder.

For fans of: Suffocation, Immolation, Deeds of Flesh
Label: Comatose Music
Album: INCLINATION — Out Now

Production Credits:
Vocals recorded by E. Browne at Superlative Sound
Strings recorded by VULNIFICUS
Drums recorded by S. Moriarty at Backroom Studios
Mixed and mastered by S. Moriarty
Intros/outros by BWNTWN SOUND
Guest performances and artwork details remain as listed in the official credits
Management: Extreme Management Group (EMG)

Regarding the album concept, the band states:
“ INCLINATION tells a story of a medical provider who infiltrates the system through medical malpractice and imposes his will on other doctors and nurses through blackmail to keep them silent. He over medicates patients to become addicted to opioids himself and then receives the penalty of death once convicted in court. Each song goes through these stages individually and from different perspectives. ”

INCLINATION is out now and carving its path through the scene. With this record, VULNIFICUS cement themselves as one of the most dangerous forces in modern brutal death metal.

St. Unholyness Drop Surprise Pantera Tribute Blacktooth Brothers as Momentum Builds from Last Month’s Hybrid Video Release - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

St. Unholyness Drop Surprise Pantera Tribute Blacktooth Brothers as Momentum Builds from Last Month’s Hybrid Video Release

Tribute Release Out Now on Bandcamp
Hybrid Music/Lyric Video for Dampflok des Todes Released Last Month
Album: Through High Holy Haze
Pfarrkirchen, Germany

St. Unholyness just rolled out a surprise gut-punch in the best way possible: a brand new tribute track honoring Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul. Blacktooth Brothers (Abbott Brothers Tribute) is out now on Bandcamp, raising a glass to the Abbott brothers and the impact they left carved deep into heavy music. It’s loud, it’s sincere, and it carries the kind of spirit that hits you right in the chest.

Built on thick, doom-kissed riffs and that gritty Chromed Stoner Doom with Groove and Style that the band has made their own, this tribute is a straight shot of appreciation. The kind of thing Dime and Vinnie would’ve nodded at with a grin.

The new track lands on the heels of last month’s release of their hybrid music/lyric video for Dampflok des Todes , the second visual offering from their debut album Through High Holy Haze . The video blends performance energy with lyric-driven atmosphere, laying out the song’s story of mortality, reflection, and the rough edges of life’s long ride.

“This tribute is personal,” Christina says. “Dime and Vinnie shaped so much of the heavy world we all live in. Dropping this track felt like the right way to honor them.”

About St. Unholyness
Formed in 2017 by Christina Earlymorn and Mac Carrigan, St. Unholyness have carved out their own lane in the stoner doom underground. Their debut album Through High Holy Haze —written, produced, and mixed entirely by Christina—combines stoner doom weight, blues grit, and blackened atmosphere into eight tracks that cut deep. The band keeps pushing forward, staying true to the grind and the craft.

Blacktooth Brothers (Abbott Brothers Tribute) is available now on Bandcamp.

The hybrid video for Dampflok des Todes is already streaming and continuing to gain traction.

Bulgarian Visionary Ivan Shishkov Unleashes His Debut Metal Album WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME Under the Project Name BRAINMAZE - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Bulgarian Visionary Ivan Shishkov Unleashes His Debut Metal Album WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME Under the Project Name BRAINMAZE

After more than a decade of grinding in the shadows, Bulgarian musician and photographer Ivan Shishkov steps into the light with the release of WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME , the debut full length from his solo project BRAINMAZE. This record is the result of ten years of persistence, late night creativity, and a whole lot of fire that refused to die.

Every track on the album first came alive on Ivan’s bass guitar, the instrument that has been by his side since the beginning. These riffs and ideas lived in his mind for years before being shaped into the intense and aggressive sound now etched into the album.

“This music has lived in my head for years,” Ivan says. “Now it’s finally real.”

Working on the project whenever life allowed, often past midnight, Ivan pushed boundaries with arrangements, styles and structures. The album digs straight into the darkness we all carry, confronting the demons that crawl out when we’re alone without our armor. Fear, spite, despair... nothing gets sugar coated here.

BRAINMAZE is a true solo effort in concept, music, lyrics, photography and design, but Ivan brought in an international lineup of exceptional musicians to make the vision whole. The album features performances from:

Rob Davies /UK/ – vocals
Ramon Martinez /Venezuela/ – rhythm and lead guitars
German Maldonado /Argentina/ – guitar solos on “Despair,” “Uncertainty,” and “Envy”
Fabian Carrion Troya /Ecuador/ – midi drums
David Mendez /Argentina/ – acoustic drums

Recording and production support came from Ilarion Ivanenko /Ukraine/ on editing and mixing, with final mastering by Colin Davis at Imperial Mastering /USA/.

After endless rounds of recording, re recording, editing and passing files around the world, the album now stands complete.

“Yes,” Ivan says, “I managed to bring to life the vision I’ve carried for over 10 years. I believe that soon, I will come out of the darkness and return to the real world.”

WHEN YOUR DEMONS COME is available now, ready to drag listeners deep into the heart of BRAINMAZE.

Long live the king METAL!

FROM BENEATH UNLEASH THEIR TWO–TRACK DEMO “DIATRIBE” AHEAD OF 2026 EP - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FROM BENEATH UNLEASH THEIR TWO–TRACK DEMO “DIATRIBE” AHEAD OF 2026 EP

Winnipeg, MB / Calgary, AB — New blood is boiling in the frozen Canadian prairies, and it goes by the name From Beneath . The rising death metal/deathcore outfit tears open the gates today with Diatribe , a two–song demo built to light the fuse for their upcoming EP dropping in January 2026.

This first strike features “Misbegotten” and “Death Bed” , two tracks soaked in the bleak atmosphere that defines the band’s roots in the cold, unforgiving landscapes of Winnipeg and Calgary. From Beneath carves their sound out of death metal, deathcore, and melodic death metal, wrapped in themes of abandonment, corruption, and the collapse of beings that should never have risen in the first place. It’s mythic. It’s apocryphal. It hits with that cold, Canadian heaviness you can feel in your bones.

“Diatribe” isn’t meant to be pretty. It’s meant to get people talking, clicking, sharing, and raising hell before the full EP arrives. The band is swinging hard right out of the gate, pushing for every ounce of traction and attention they can grab. With production by Steven Rumpli , this demo gives listeners a razor–sharp preview of what’s coming next year.

From Beneath is currently locking in Canadian tour dates to support the EP release, with announcements to follow once booking is finalized.

For a band just clawing its way into the world, this is the sound of something big starting underground.

Metal Division Magazine Shines Global Spotlight on Metal Devastation PR Artists Rails To Roads, Univertigo, Monastery Dead and Sons Of Hades Earn High Praise in New Reviews - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Metal Division Magazine Shines Global Spotlight on Metal Devastation PR Artists
Rails To Roads, Univertigo, Monastery Dead and Sons Of Hades Earn High Praise in New Reviews

Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce a new wave of international recognition as Germany’s Metal Division Magazine has published an in-depth set of glowing reviews for four powerful acts on the MDPR roster. Rails To Roads, Univertigo, Monastery Dead and Sons Of Hades each received standout write ups that highlight their unique strengths, raw intensity and growing impact within the global underground.

Rails To Roads
Metal Division praised the North Georgia trio for delivering a debut EP packed with the gritty spirit of classic hard rock. Drawing comparisons to AC/DC, Motörhead and Ozzy Osbourne, the magazine celebrated the band’s “raw and punchy” production, live-ready energy and ability to channel old school influences without losing their own edge. The review often circled back to the band’s directness, attitude and stage-built songwriting style.

Univertigo
Anthony Delmas’ visionary project earned high marks for pushing progressive metal into new territory. Metal Division described Amour, Void & Beauté as a kaleidoscopic journey that blends avant garde experimentation with emotional depth, electronic elements, orchestral textures and fearless creativity. Tracks were praised as individual universes that connect to form a larger, unpredictable experience. Univertigo was ultimately credited not just as a musician, but as a “sound architect.”

Monastery Dead
Two decades into their career, Russian death metal veterans Monastery Dead were commended for delivering one of their most uncompromising works yet. Seeds of Apostasy was recognized for its aggression, bleak atmosphere, spiritual decay themes and relentless pacing. The magazine highlighted the EP’s raw production, crushing riff work and focused brutality, calling it a must-listen for fans of Bloodbath, Misery Index and Jungle Rot. Metal Division made it clear that the band hasn’t lost an ounce of power.

Sons Of Hades
The Greek underground made a serious statement with the band’s debut full length Tombs of the Blind Dead . The review celebrated the album’s blend of black, thrash and heavy metal, its cinematic darkness and its mix of speed, atmosphere and melodic detail. From blastbeat-driven assaults to ten minute epics, Sons Of Hades were credited for honoring the roots of the genre while forging a distinct identity. Influences like Mayhem, Emperor and Mercyful Fate were noted as touchstones, not crutches.

Metal Division Magazine’s support highlights the growing global visibility of the Metal Devastation PR network and the strength of the artists who continue to rise through the underground with conviction and creativity.

CREMATE UNLEASH NEW EP READY TO FIGHT Out Now via Wormholedeath Records - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CREMATE UNLEASH NEW EP READY TO FIGHT
Out Now via Wormholedeath Records

Stream / Buy READY TO FIGHT now:

https://orcd.co/rtfep">
https://orcd.co/rtfep

Athens underground crushers CREMATE are officially back in the fight. Their long-awaited EP Ready to Fight is out now , delivering a razor-sharp fusion of thrash/death metal and dark electronic atmosphere that hits with the force of a band that never lost the fire.

Forged in the chaos of the early ’90s and rebuilt with modern muscle, Ready to Fight reimagines the band’s classic 1993 demo End of Time through a darker, heavier lens. As the band puts it, “Ready to Fight is the rebirth of CREMATE, a band forged in the Athens underground of the early ’90s.”

Fans of Kreator , Nightrage , and Fear Factory will feel that familiar punch, but CREMATE take things further, blending raw death/thrash aggression with synths, samples, and atmospheric layers that give the EP its own twisted identity.

Three classic tracks return with fresh blood — including “Die as You Lived,” now armed with a haunting violin performance from Lusty Apricot — while “Another Pain Born” emerges reborn as “Human.” The brand new title track “Ready to Fight” serves as the EP’s war cry, featuring a scorching solo from Marios Iliopoulos of Nightrage .

CREMATE first erupted in 1991, making waves in the underground tape-trading scene with their intense live presence and cult recordings. After disbanding in the mid-90s, the band resurrected in 2021 when founding member Christos rebuilt the project from the ground up with drummer George and guitarist Akis Pastras (Dexter Ward, Damon Systema, Nightfall).

All music and lyrics were written by Christos, who shaped the EP’s vision and direction, while George and Akis contributed as session players. Recording and mixing were handled by Akis Pastras, with mastering by George Nerantzis (Abbath, Rotting Christ, Gus G.).

Ready to Fight is more than a comeback — it’s a declaration. The EP captures the grit and fury of the ’90s scene while pushing into new territory, refusing to be boxed in or watered down. CREMATE aren’t chasing nostalgia. They’re carving forward with fists up.

'Cultic' Storm The Zach Moonshine Show Dungeon Siege Takeover | A Night Of Lore, War, And 117 Thousand Metal Maniacs In The Pit - @thebeast

'Cultic' Storm The Zach Moonshine Show Dungeon Siege Takeover | A Night Of Lore, War, And 117 Thousand Metal Maniacs In The Pit

Friday night was one for the books. A downright iron clad event. A staggering 117,504 metal maniacs from across the planet tuned in live as Pennsylvania’s dungeon metal warlords Cultic took over The Zach Moonshine Show for a special Dungeon Siege edition that hit harder than a flaming catapult shot.

This wasn’t your run of the mill promo chat. This was a real dive. Grit, honesty, stories, riffs, and the kind of raw creative energy you only get when a band is locked into their own world and you give them room to talk about it. The band emphasized their spontaneous start, noting, "We didn't have any plans. You were just gonna play music in the bedroom and call it Dungeon ***** ." They added that their philosophy is "always been more about the process of creating things. Nothing ever sat down and said, hey, this is this is what we're going to do, right? It wasn't like we planned it. It just just kept evolving and we don't know when to turn it off."

Cultic showed up ready for war.

Their new album Lore had already been raising hell with fans. The band walked us through the guts of it, sharing how they crafted the dungeon atmosphere that defines their sound. They hit everything from the concept building to the choices behind the doom heavy riffing to the cold blackened textures that creep through the record.

The foundation of their sound was discussed, with one member recalling, "I think it just developed naturally. Like when we first started the band, I really wanted to like... like really like Celtic Frost and winter. I like I like that sound and I was like attributed like winter to being like slow Covic frost, but I wanted to to like build upon that aesthetic ." They also emphasized their writing style: "We definitely write very unrelenting music. Like there's not a lot of breaks in there, you know? And that's intentional ." The host perfectly captured the essence, stating, "They've got you pinned to the pinned against the wall with a knife to your throat kind of sound."

They talked process too. The writing, the recording, the tone hunting. How each track had to feel like another step deeper into the dungeon. They went into the artwork, the visuals, and the old school metal attitude that fuels the whole project. On their visual consistency, they explained: "If you would stack it up on a board, it's. Comes from the same place for each album ." The band's artist detailed her creative medium: "I do all of the artwork itself. Um, so I, I do painting mostly oil paints also deal drawings and ink and different things like that." No shortcuts. No modern polish for the sake of polish. Just something real, grim, and carved from the same stone as the legends that came before.

That is the kind of mindset you cannot fake. It is why Lore hits the way it does. It is why the fans showed up in droves.

And man did the fans show up. The chat never slowed down. People from Europe, South America, Australia, Asia, and every corner of the States chimed in, threw questions, and went wild the whole time. The energy felt like an old school global tape trading frenzy, just updated for 2025.

The band also opened up about influences, early experiences, and the twists of life outside the studio, including the dynamic of creating with a spouse. As one member shared, "It's a mutual thing , like we, we get along and we're, we're on the same page, you know what I mean? Like so creating together just feels natural. Definitely takes it to a whole another level for sure ," with another adding, "It gives you another depth of to your relationship ." They're not slowing down either, despite wrapping up their shows for the year: "The wheels don't stop turning. We're already starting to ripe for the next one already, so we're starting to turn over some ideas and going over making some withdrawals from the rift bank." Classic Gen X metal mentality. A little humor, a little grit, a little “yeah we lived through worse.” It made the conversation breathe in a way most interviews just don’t anymore.

For anyone who missed the live chaos, the interview is now archived on Mixcloud. It’s the pure cut. No ads, no breaks, just the raw conversation exactly how it went down.

Cultic came out of the dungeon swinging and the world tuned in to watch. Nights like this remind you why underground metal still matters. It’s still alive, still dangerous, and still in the hands of bands who care enough to build something worth fighting for.

And judging by 117,504 metalheads showing up on a Friday night, the underground isn’t going anywhere.

Keep the torches lit. The dungeon is far from empty.

YOUR LAST BREATH DROP NEW VIDEO “ALL I’VE GOT IS MISERY” FEAT. SONIC SEA TURTLES — OUT TODAY - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

YOUR LAST BREATH DROP NEW VIDEO “ALL I’VE GOT IS MISERY” FEAT. SONIC SEA TURTLES — OUT TODAY

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – Your Last Breath aren’t slowing down for anybody. Today the metalcore wrecking crew unleash the official music video for their latest single “All I’ve Got Is Misery,” featuring the chaotic sonic mayhem of Sonic Sea Turtles. The video is live now and already kicking up dust across the scene.

This new track piles on the intensity with zero hesitation. It’s a crushing blend of deathcore grit, metalcore melody, and that signature YLB emotional sucker punch. Sonic Sea Turtles crash into the mix with their twisted, unpredictable flavor, giving the track an extra jolt of wild energy. No gloss. No filter. Just pure catharsis.

“The song came from a place of feeling completely spent, emotionally and mentally,” says the band. “But instead of folding, we wanted to channel that frustration into something explosive. Having Sonic Sea Turtles jump in brought a whole other level of chaos to the track.”

The video mirrors that emotional overload, slamming viewers with frantic visuals, stark imagery, and a sense of spiraling tension that feels all too real. It’s a gut-punch of honesty wrapped in Your Last Breath’s signature heaviness.

Formed in 2021 after Dustan Cano’s near-death battle with sepsis, Your Last Breath have carved out their place in the Midwest metalcore landscape with a sound that hits hard and refuses to play it safe. Now under Extreme Management Group, Inc., the band continues to sharpen their blades and take bigger swings with each release.

“All I’ve Got Is Misery” marks another step deeper into the darkness as the band continues evolving their sound. If this is a taste of what’s coming next, fans better buckle up.

Brazil’s heavy metal powerhouse As The Palaces Burn keep the momentum roaring with the release of their brand-new video Defying the Power , taken from their latest full-length ZODIAC , now out worldwide. The band has been on a steady rise since 2018, and this new chapter hits harder than anything they’ve done before.

ZODIAC marks the band’s most dynamic and fully realized work to date, blending crushing riffs, sharp musicianship, and the melodic instincts that have defined their sound since the beginning. What started with End’evour in 2019 and carried through All The Evil , Offer To The Gods , Into Emotions , and Drowning Into Shadows has now evolved into a record bursting with confidence and identity.

The new single Defying the Power pushes that message even further.
A soundtrack for anyone grinding forward in a world that keeps trying to shove them back.

The band explains it simply:
“More than just lyrics, Defying the Power is a call to those who refuse to live imprisoned. It is music for those who want to reinvent themselves, break barriers, and believe that nothing can stop their own will.”

With its soaring choruses, tight grooves, and razor-sharp precision, the track stands out as one of the album’s most empowering moments.

For fans of: Gojira, Trivium, Lamb of God, Parkway Drive, Jinjer, Killswitch Engage

To top things off, As The Palaces Burn are teaming up with a major rock radio station from their hometown to host a special festival celebrating the release of ZODIAC, setting the stage for one hell of a night for metal fans across Brazil.

Tentaclaus Storms Back with a Double EP Drop Calamari and Daily Grind! - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tentaclaus Storms Back with a Double EP Drop Calamari and Daily Grind!

Northern Virginia’s punk troublemakers Tentaclaus have kicked the door back open after a hiatus, and they’re not easing back into anything. They’re dropping two back to back EPs Calamari and Daily Grind serving up grit attitude and the kind of raw edge that reminds everyone why the scene missed them.

Tentaclaus is a Diet Superband made up of players from Never Elected, Shumaun, Positivity Brigade and the Berkley School of Music. Sujit Kumar handles vocals, Scott Silver drives the drums, Jason Nope commands the bass and Tyler Kim dishes out the guitar fire. What started as one album spun into two EPs after some lively boardroom debates. In their words it made more sense and it was a hell of a lot more fun.

Calamari landed on November 7. It kicks off with Rat Child a nod to the Di’Anno and Clive Burr era of Iron Maiden. The EP tears through Backstabber, the football feud fueled Man U, the heavy leaning NIB.RIP. and wraps with Golden Sneakers. True to form they shout out their go to Alexandria haunt O’Shaughnessy’s keeping their community stitched right into the music.

Calamari Tracklist
Rat Child
Backstabber
Man U
NIB.RIP.
Golden Sneakers

Daily Grind arrives December 5 and digs into the everyday chaos of modern urban life. Destination sets the tone inspired by Mumbai’s shoulder to shoulder trains. Shit Rollin and Get Fucked dive straight into work culture burnout and the nonsense that comes with it. Celebrate flips the switch on fake office cheer. The closer Come To The Show fires up a rally for supporting live music hitting O’Shaughnessy’s with another well deserved salute.

Both EPs feature artwork by Aaron Miller of Miller Digital Art. Recording, mixing and mastering were handled by Pablo Cabrera at Analog Approach in Falls Church with vocals tracked by Farhad Zink Hossain at Zinkferd Studio in Woodbridge.

Independent and loud as ever Tentaclaus keeps fueling the DC and Northern Virginia punk circuit. With Calamari and Daily Grind they’re planting their flag right back in the center of the scene and daring anyone to ignore it.

Punk fans better buckle in. Tentaclaus is back and they’re not playing nice.

Metal Devastation Radio and PR Hit 22.9 Million Views and Lock In Another Google Search Trophy - @thebeast

Metal Devastation Radio and PR Hit 22.9 Million Views and Lock In Another Google Search Trophy

November 2025 came in swinging, and the underground answered right back. Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR closed out the month with a tidal wave of growth, stacking up another round of numbers that prove this machine just keeps getting louder.

This time, Google handed over yet another shiny Search Trophy after logging 275,000 web impressions for the month. No shortcuts, no corporate fluff, just the raw push of an underground community that refuses to sit quietly.

Another Month, Another Mountain Moved

The November stats tell the story loud and clear:

• 172,000 active users digging into the underground
• 164,000 new users jumping into the fray
• 266,000 total views rocking the site
• 986,000 tracked events showing clicks, streams, chaos and curiosity

And with that surge, the all-time total view count now sits at a monstrous 22,923,773 . That’s not noise. That’s a legacy forming in real time.

Straight From the Frontlines

“It blows my mind seeing the total hit nearly 23 million,” says Zach Moonshine.
“Month after month we keep pulling in more metalheads, pushing new bands, and keeping this thing alive. These Google trophies aren’t just little digital pats on the back. They’re proof that the underground still scares the algorithm in all the right ways.”

Fueled by the Underground

This milestone hits across the whole spectrum of the scene:

Bands and Labels – Feeding the fire with new music that actually matters
Zines and Media – Continuing the grind that keeps metal documented and remembered
Fans Worldwide – Sharing, streaming, spreading the truth louder than any marketing budget
DJs and Staff – Running the 24/7 backbone of Metal Devastation Radio
Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest – Bringing the noise from online to the dirt and the stage

Every piece matters. Every click is another spark in a growing wildfire.

What’s Next

Sitting at nearly 23 million views, the mission stays the same. Keep lifting up the bands that aren’t getting a fair shake, keep pushing heavy music into the spotlight, and keep championing the spirit that built the metal underground in the first place.

“If you’ve got something heavy and real,” Moonshine adds,
“this is the spot. We’ve got a global reach, a real audience, and a scene that shows up. Metal Devastation isn’t just PR. It’s a damn movement.”

Thank You

This milestone belongs to everyone who streamed, clicked, supported, submitted, blasted, and believed. The underground doesn’t weaken. It evolves. It multiplies. And it gets louder every single month.

About Metal Devastation Radio and PR

Founded in 2013, Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR stand as global pillars for underground and independent metal. With nonstop radio, powerful PR campaigns, and a widely read online zine, they continue pushing the boundaries of DIY heavy music across the world.

JON HARRIS SERVES UP A FUNK-ROCK FEAST WITH NEW “MUSTARD N KETCHUP” PLAYTHROUGH - @thebeast

JON HARRIS SERVES UP A FUNK-ROCK FEAST WITH NEW “MUSTARD N KETCHUP” PLAYTHROUGH

Canadian instrumental rocker Jon Harris is back in the spotlight, and he isn’t coming quietly. The Edmonton guitarist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and yes, actual chef, just dropped a brand new playthrough video for his track Mustard N Ketchup, one of the most talked-about cuts from his album Parallel Heart. If you need a reason to get up and move today, this is it.

This new video puts Harris front and center in his natural habitat, showing off the kind of tight, flashy musicianship that makes gearheads lean in and casual listeners start bobbing their heads before they even realize it. Mustard N Ketchup blends rock energy with funk swagger and a dance pulse that feels straight out of the eighties, only rebuilt with modern muscle. It’s a reminder that instrumental music can hit just as hard as any traditional rock anthem.

Harris pulled back the curtain on the inspiration behind the track and dropped some heavy names while he was at it.
“I get asked about this song more than any other on the record, probably because it stands out in a lot of ways. Mustard N Ketchup is my homage to one of my all time favourite producers, Quincy Jones, and the magic he created with Michael Jackson and legendary Toto guitarist Steve Lukather. I’ve always loved the sound of the eighties, and I’ve always loved dance music. To me, it’s the heartbeat of rock, as music should make you move.”

And in true Jon Harris fashion, the title itself also ties back to his second creative life in the kitchen.
“The title is also a nod to my life as a chef, where everything starts with the basic building blocks of flavour. Whether it’s food or music, great things come from a solid foundation.”

You can watch the new Mustard N Ketchup playthrough here:

Parallel Heart, released in December 2024 through Epictronic, is packed with the kind of storytelling most bands need a vocalist to achieve. Harris does it with feel, texture, and arrangements that shift from slick grooves to soaring solos. Even without a single lyric, the record digs into themes of connection, conflict, ambition, and the balancing act between the creative world and real life. Tracks like Togetherness pulse with momentum, while 97BPM plays like a neon soaked time capsule.

Harris handled guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production, making this album a full display of what the guy can do when he’s behind the wheel. His sound blends blues roots, cinematic synth layers, funk rhythms, and a modern rock edge that brings to mind everything from Jeff Beck to Prince. It’s a fresh take that still respects where the genre came from.

Harris has earned praise from critics across the board, with Exclaim!, Real Gone Rocks, Video Sound Art Magazine, and others championing his mix of technical skill and emotional depth. It’s clear that Parallel Heart isn’t just another instrumental record, it’s a statement from an artist who refuses to pick one lane when he can build a whole highway.

If Mustard N Ketchup is any indication of what Harris is cooking next, fans are going to want to stay hungry.

KILLERWITCH, ST. UNHOLYNESS, POWERHOUSE, THORNDALE, WITCHER And TRAITOR Charge Into Legacy Magazine Alongside 1914 - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KILLERWITCH, ST. UNHOLYNESS, POWERHOUSE, THORNDALE, WITCHER And TRAITOR Charge Into Legacy Magazine Alongside 1914

Metal Devastation PR is celebrating a serious milestone as six of its artists land features and reviews in the newest issue of Legacy Magazine, the same issue with 1914 dominating the cover. For independent and underground metal, this is the kind of spotlight that proves the scene is still pushing forward with power, grit, and no interest in playing it safe.

KILLERWITCH
Malta’s heavy and power metal thunder squad hit Legacy with their second album Palace Of The Dragons and walked away with a perfect ten point score. The magazine called it a thunderclap packed with huge melodies and a smokey atmosphere that shows the band finally taking off. Silent Angel and Metellica were singled out as prime examples of the band’s fire. Their interview digs deeper into the darker and more direct direction of the new material, with the seven minute epic The Alchemist standing tall. KILLERWITCH is now gearing up for a European tour in 2024.

ST. UNHOLYNESS
Christina Earlymorn’s one woman force of nature slammed Legacy with a twelve point review for her debut full length Through High Holy Haze. The album blends Doom, Stoner, Black Metal venom, HM 2 fury, and raw Blues soul into a hybrid that impressed Legacy for its detail and fearless execution. The interview explores Christina’s journey from Metallica inspired beginnings to the creation of a sound that is grim, groovy, personal, and fully her own. Every instrument. Every idea. Every scream. All hers.

POWERHOUSE
Sacramento thrash unit Powerhouse delivered American Rebel and Legacy responded with eleven points. Six tracks. Thirty three minutes. No wasted space. The review praises the massive riffs, pounding drums, and a psychedelic edge that gives their old school thrash roots a modern twist. Their interview opens up about the pandemic frustrations that shaped the record and the idea of standing strong with a lone wolf mentality. Influences like Iron Maiden, UFO, and Slayer help shape a sound that still feels fresh.

THORNDALE
Legacy sat down with Thorndale for a feature on their new album Spiritual Chains. With a refreshed lineup, the band shifted from the technical density of their older work to stronger melodies, simpler structures, and riffs built to last. The title track Twenty Thousand Souls anchors the theme of mental and spiritual chains. The band keeps a democratic approach to songwriting and is already working on the next album titled The Stalemate. Their sound honors the old ways while keeping an eye on the future.

WITCHER
Hungary’s melancholic black metal duo returned with their fourth album Lélekharang. Legacy describes the sound as bombastic, melodic, and rooted in classic black metal while painting the atmosphere with symphonic influence. Themes of sorrow and descent into a deeper world guide the music. The duo keeps everything DIY from instrumentation to vocals to production. Hungarian lyrics reinforce the atmosphere and carry the emotional weight of the concept.

TRAITOR
Rounding out the wins, TRAITOR was covered in Legacy’s feature celebrating twenty years of the Neuborn Open Air Festival in Wörrstadt. The festival has grown from a small gathering into a trusted stage for major underground talent. Legacy highlights the longtime relationship between TRAITOR and the festival, noting the band’s reliability, quality gear, and fierce performances. Their style pulls from speed, blackened aggression, and the classic black death sound of the nineties. TRAITOR stands out as a relentless and traditional force that always delivers.

A Strong Statement For The Underground
Landing multiple artists in a respected publication like Legacy is more than a bragging right. It shows the underground is stacked with talent, individuality, and the kind of dedication that keeps metal alive across borders and generations. Metal Devastation PR is proud to support bands that work hard, stay authentic, and refuse to water down their vision.

Santiago, Chile – December 3, 2025 – Chilean thrash metal warriors NECKBREAKER are ready to tear down the walls with their highly anticipated debut album, Mental Void , dropping December 12 through the legendary German label Witches Brew .

Death Reigns: From Underground to Top 5 on Thunderflix — Metal Wins! - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Death Reigns : From Underground to Top 5 on Thunderflix — Metal Wins!

Some stories are too loud to ignore.

Death Reigns , the groundbreaking documentary about the underground metal scene of the American Bible Belt, has just smashed into the Top 5 most-streamed films on Thunderflix for November , right alongside legends like Helloween, Epica, Moonspell, and Megadeth.

At the heart of the film are radio hosts Raven Moonla and Zach Moonshine , two relentless metalheads on a mission to build something real in a place that wants it buried. Their goal: organize the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest , a grassroots festival built entirely on passion, community, and zero industry backing.

As the festival grew louder, pushback intensified. Far-right religious activists tried to shut it down, sparking a tense battle between outsiders fighting to create space and forces determined to erase them.

Death Reigns goes far beyond the music. It captures the exhaustion, triumphs, threats, late-night planning, and unwavering resilience of a culture that refuses to die. This is a raw, personal portrait of what happens when metal becomes more than entertainment — when it becomes identity, rebellion, and survival.

Jackson, TN, you’re killing it! Huge shoutout to Randall Holt Kendrick and everyone who made this possible. Thank you for the insane support!

Critics are calling it one of the most important underground metal documentaries in years.

St. Petersburg, Russia – November 2025 – Monastery Dead aren’t wasting a second. Fresh off the release of their crushing new EP Seeds of Apostasy , the Russian death metal juggernaut has unleashed a brand new guitar playthrough for the track “Sick Absolution” — and it hits like a steel-toed kick to the sternum.

Two decades deep and still swinging harder than most bands half their age, Monastery Dead keep proving why they’re one of the most uncompromising forces in the underground. Seeds of Apostasy is already carving its place in the global death metal trenches, delivering seven blistering tracks soaked in existential torment, spiritual decay, and pure sonic violence.

Formed in 2004, the band has spent years perfecting their craft through relentless touring and sharing stages with giants like Dying Fetus, Unleashed, Benighted, Impaled Nazarene, and Haemorrhage. With four full-length albums behind them and a reputation for bone-grinding intensity, Monastery Dead have cemented themselves as a defining export of Russian brutality.

Recorded at BuzzyLick Studio with Ivan Dmitriev and mixed and mastered by Dead Kennedy, Seeds of Apostasy captures the band at their most lethal. The cover art by Ivan Stan drives the themes home with a visual gut punch that sticks with you long after the record ends.

The new “Sick Absolution” guitar playthrough shows the band’s technical venom on full display. No gimmicks, no gloss, just raw musicianship and riffs sharp enough to cut bone. Old school meets modern extremity in a way only veterans can pull off.

Watch the “Sick Absolution” guitar playthrough now and see why Monastery Dead remain one of death metal’s most dangerous machines.

Lightlorn Announces Second Album The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides, Featuring Cosmic Black Metal Mastery - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Lightlorn Announces Second Album The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides , Featuring Cosmic Black Metal Mastery

Gothenburg, Sweden – Lightlorn, the rising force in cosmic and atmospheric black metal, is set to unleash their highly anticipated second full-length album, The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides , on Friday, March 6, 2026, via their newly established label, Rogue Planet Records. Leading the charge is the explosive single “Emergent Chaos,” a harbinger of the album’s intense yet expansive soundscapes.

Formed in Gothenburg in 2021, Lightlorn made waves with their self-released debut EP These Nameless Worlds (2022), earning praise from Metal Hammer , No Clean Singing , and Invisible Oranges . The attention garnered led to a deal with Black Lion Records, which released their acclaimed debut album At One with the Night Sky in 2023. Following a line-up change in 2024, the band released singles Noctalgia and To Dream of Distant Stars , showcasing the revitalized three-piece lineup of Renwar (vocals, guitar), Antagonist (drums), and Robert (bass).

With The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides , Lightlorn continues to explore the vastness of the cosmos through the lens of human emotion. From the blistering opener “Emergent Chaos” to the introspective closer “Eternal Recurrence of the Same,” the album balances aggression and serenity, light and dark, crafting a journey that is as expansive as the universe itself. The fourth track, “I Carry Galaxies,” features haunting clean vocals by Flo V. Schwarz of Pyogenesis, adding another layer of depth to the record.

“The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides is an extension of the Lightlorn sound that we’ve become known for, but it has evolved, and we have explored new avenues in terms of songwriting,” says Renwar. “Working as a three-piece has been conducive to our creativity, and we are very proud of the songs and the album as a whole. Overall, it’s heavier than the debut, with more varied songs, but it’s still unmistakably Lightlorn. After much internal discussion, we decided to release this album under the banner of Rogue Planet Records, which is our own, newly created record label.”

Recorded at Svart Studio with engineer Dennis Fransson and mixed/mastered by David Mauritzon at Soundtornado, the album’s artwork was crafted by Nikhil Kumar, perfectly capturing the otherworldly atmosphere that defines Lightlorn’s music.

Fans of Mesarthim, Labyrinthus Stellarum, and Vorga will find a compelling evolution of cosmic black metal here, and newcomers will be drawn into a universe that is both expansive and emotionally resonant.

The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides will be available worldwide on March 6, 2026. Pre-save the album and follow all future releases here:
