MY DARK FATE DESCENDS INTO DOOM WITH “PAINT IT, BLACK” — OUT MARCH 6, 2026

https://mydarkfate.bandcamp.com/

Austria’s groove-metal force My Dark Fate returns with a dark twist on a classic: their new single, “Paint It, Black” , drops March 6, 2026. The band slows the pulse, deepens the darkness, and accentuates melody, transforming the iconic 1966 Rolling Stones track into a haunting fusion of doom metal and melodic intensity. Crushing guitars plunge listeners into an abyssal atmosphere, while operatic touches highlight the song’s tragic beauty, bridging classic rock heritage with modern metal aggression.

About the Band

Founded by guitarist and songwriter Andreas Maierhofer (of melodic death metal band Lost Dreams), My Dark Fate has carved a name with their hybrid of groove metal and melodic death-metal weight. Following a full reboot in 2025, the lineup now features Marina (vocals, bass), Stefan (growls, guitar), Christian (drums), and Andreas (guitar, songwriting, production). The band’s previous releases, including the winter 2025 metal ballad “Whiteout” , have set the stage for this next dark chapter.

With dual vocals, seven-string riff assault, and tightly driven rhythms, My Dark Fate channels decades of Austrian metal experience into a cinematic, emotionally charged sound that resonates with fans of Lacuna Coil, Jinjer, In Flames, Amaranthe, and Arch Enemy.

Single Release: March 6, 2026
Genre: Groove Metal / Doom Metal
Label: Independent
Videos: Coming Q2 2026

Symphony of Destiny Unleashes “Rampage (Bastet)” – A Ferocious New Chapter in Modern Symphonic Metal - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Symphony of Destiny Unleashes “Rampage (Bastet)” – A Ferocious New Chapter in Modern Symphonic Metal


https://symphonyofdestiny.bandcamp.com/album/rampage-bastet />
Richmond, VA – Virginia’s rising symphonic metal powerhouse Symphony of Destiny return with their explosive new single, “Rampage (Bastet),” a thunderous continuation of the mythology driven universe they began with their debut release. With cinematic orchestration, commanding female vocals, and razor sharp melodic guitar work, the band is proving they are not just another local act. They are building something that reaches well beyond state lines.

Emerging from Virginia’s thriving underground, Symphony of Destiny have quickly earned a reputation for immersive, theatrical performances that fuse storytelling with modern heaviness. Their live resume continues to grow, with appearances at respected venues including The Canal Club , Another Round Bar & Grill , Super Rad Arcade , and Riffhouse Pub . The band closed out 2025 with their first headlining performance at Riffhouse Pub, celebrating the release of their debut single and setting the tone for a breakout 2026.

On February 20, 2026, Symphony of Destiny stepped into a larger spotlight as direct support for The Birthday Massacre and Daedric at The Canal Club, further cementing their place within the regional metal circuit.

Their debut single, “Exile of Horus,” introduced listeners to the band’s mythology centered sound and delivered serious independent traction. The track landed on nearly 100 Spotify playlists as of February 2026, achieving a 100 percent share rate from 25 participating curators during the band’s Groover campaign. International radio airplay followed across Brazil, the United Kingdom, the United States, Chile, Mexico, and Portugal. A focused social media campaign surrounding the release reached more than half a million Instagram accounts, pushing Symphony of Destiny beyond their local base and into the global independent metal conversation.

Now the story continues.

“Rampage (Bastet)” dives deeper into the band’s Egyptian mythology arc and serves as a preview of their upcoming EP, Heroes of Egypt . The single raises the intensity with aggressive riffing, cinematic tension, and soaring vocal authority that hits with both precision and power.

The release will be celebrated with a special show at The Canal Club featuring an all female fronted metal lineup alongside Valkyrie’s Fire and A Sound of Thunder , highlighting the strength and presence of women in heavy music while reinforcing the band’s commitment to building community within the scene.

Industry recognition continues to build. Symphony of Destiny have earned coverage in Decibel Magazine along with features from Metalheads Forever Magazine, Loud Enough? Magazine, The Building, Coldstone Magazine, Indiefferential Magazine, Keep Walking, Honk Magazine, and additional international outlets.

With the forthcoming release of Heroes of Egypt , Symphony of Destiny are expanding their mythology driven universe and positioning themselves for broader national exposure. They are doing it the right way. Write strong songs. Hit the stage hard. Build momentum one show at a time.

“Rampage (Bastet)” is not just another single. It is the sound of a band leveling up.

Element of Fate Unleashes Dark Gothic Visualizer “Warhorse” Ahead of Debut Album Dreamfall - @thebeast

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Element of Fate Unleashes Dark Gothic Visualizer “Warhorse” Ahead of Debut Album Dreamfall

Washington, DC / Portland, OR – Element of Fate, the US-based melodic heavy metal duo known for blending classic heavy metal with symphonic, gothic, and progressive elements, has released a striking official visualizer for their new track Warhorse on YouTube. The video arrives as a bold prelude to their debut full-length album, Dreamfall , set to launch July 27, 2026 via Bravemusic.

“If not now, when?” asks Element of Fate, channeling the unstoppable momentum of 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse. Warhorse is a dark, gothic-heavy metal reminder to move forward—through hesitation, uncertainty, and the challenges life throws our way. With lyrics like ‘Blessed. I fear nothing. With the gods at my side. I step into the fire,’ the track embodies the fearlessness at the heart of the band’s cinematic storytelling.

Produced and mastered by John Mario of JBG Records, the track—and the upcoming album—showcases soaring vocals, intricate guitar work, and cinematic arrangements that fans of Nightwish, Judas Priest, Seven Spires, Lacuna Coil, and Dio will instantly recognize, yet Element of Fate carves a unique sonic lane. One listener described their sound as “if Iron Maiden and Nightwish had a baby.”

Formed in the Washington, DC area and operating between DC and Portland, Oregon, Element of Fate is made up of vocalist and visual artist Carol Phillips (Madame Crol) and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Scott Loose. Through fantasy, mystical, and sci-fi-inspired themes, the duo creates immersive metal experiences that push beyond genre boundaries.

To celebrate the release of Dreamfall, Element of Fate will launch a Kickstarter campaign on April 17, 2026, featuring exclusive rewards, behind-the-scenes content, and the first full music video from the album. Fans can preview and support the album here:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/carolphillipsart/dreamfall. />
The Warhorse visualizer is streaming now on YouTube:

Dreamfall will be available for streaming and purchase on July 27, 2026, via Bandcamp:
