Known for their dark, aggressive Industrial Goth Horror Metal, the band continues building momentum with relentless creativity, immersive live performances, and growing national media attention. “Porn Star” is a scathing, self-aware anthem that tackles society’s obsession with perfection and the dangerous allure of cosmetic enhancement. Dark hypnotic beats, gritty guitars, and biting lyrics expose the emptiness behind idealized beauty, delivering Horror Scene’s raw social commentary with brutal honesty. Pre-save the single here: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/horrorscene1/porn-star-feat-ariana-troni The band’s rising profile has attracted attention from major music publications. Rolling Stone recently spotlighted Horror Scene for their uncompromising sound and immersive aesthetic, while SPIN Magazine praised the group as “heavy stuff coming out of Harrisburg, PA… Sepultura vibes with an industrial/goth edge… like Slipknot meets Sisters of Mercy.” In the SPIN interview, the band discussed their creative process, wide-ranging influences from Alice Cooper to Pantera, and their recent name change, reflecting both their theatrical persona and evolving vision. Horror Scene’s single “Welcome to Your Hell” reached #16 on the Metal Contraband Top 50 Metal Charts, demonstrating the band’s growing influence in the underground metal community. Their live shows continue to blur the line between concert and psychological experience, solidifying their reputation as one of industrial metal’s most compelling new acts. “Music is very healing and cathartic,” the band notes. “In these uncertain times, it’s a way to forget everything else and immerse yourself in the soundscape around you.” As 2026 unfolds, Horror Scene shows no signs of slowing, with new material, live activity, and media momentum positioning them for a powerful year ahead.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIABOLIS Unleashes New Lineup, Special Guest Vocalist and Pop-Infused Surprise at 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition Connecticut’s relentless metal force DIABOLIS is coming in hot with a revamped lineup and a sharp left turn for fans at the 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition, running April 17 to 19, 2026 at the Mohegan Sun Expo Center in Uncasville, Connecticut. The band storms the stage Saturday, April 18 at approximately 8:30 PM, unveiling a reimagined pop/R&B crossover track featuring guest vocalist Violet Dusk (Violet Dusk) alongside new guitarist Casey Carr. The track takes a modern mainstream hit and throws it into the fire with DIABOLIS’ heavier sensibilities, letting both worlds collide. It’s shaping up to be a full weekend of tattoo culture, artistry and live performance. In partnership with convention co-owner Tom Ringwalt (Guitar Center and St. Jude collaborator) and the broader tattoo community including Ink Master Season 2 champion Steve Tefft, DIABOLIS will help debut a one-of-a-kind electric guitar branded with the Tattoo Expo, DIABOLIS and Guitar Center logos. The guitar will be signed by the band, guest artists and special celebrities with proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children’s Hospital after expenses. Special doors for the DIABOLIS concert open at 8:00 PM, and attendees who use the code “DIABOLIS” at the door can knock the standard $25 admission down to $15. The convention itself opens at 12:00 Noon on Saturday, April 18. DIABOLIS will also be fully posted up all weekend with a merch booth that includes exclusive items, a CD listening station and recent live footage for new fans to get caught up. The current lineup of Voxx H (vocals), J-SINZ (drums), ~D~ (bass) and Casey Carr (guitar) is tightening the screws on the band’s sound, pushing harder on both old favorites and the new material. It’s the kind of upgrade fans notice the second it hits the PA. On the competitive front, DIABOLIS is confirmed as a contender for the Jam At The Dam Festival Battle, with exact date pending. The battle takes place on the two Saturdays leading into the festival. DIABOLIS will release a dedicated press announcement once the competition date is confirmed. This year’s Jam At The Dam Festival runs Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, with the 2026 lineup yet to be announced. Last year the stage hosted Steelheart, Warrant, Firehouse, George Lynch, Dokken and Ace Frehley, so expectations for this year are already running high.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metalized Magazine Features Metal Devastation PR Clients in Massive Megadeth Issue! Metal heads, take note: the latest issue of Metalized Magazine is a powerhouse of metal coverage, featuring Megadeth on the cover, major features on Exodus, Powerwolf, and many more, and a stacked lineup of interviews and album reviews spotlighting some of the most intense acts in underground and global heavy metal. Metal Devastation PR clients dominate the pages with in-depth interviews, album reviews, and exclusive insights into their creative processes. Highlights include: Küntsquäd – Described as “crusty death metal,” the band’s female-led guttural vocals and relentless riff-based chaos earned praise for their genre-defying sound. Frontwoman Paula shared, “We aim to offer something different—extreme metal that doesn’t fit a specific niche.” Following four singles from Satans Cock, the band plans an Australian tour and new material for 2027. Review Summary: Blastbeats, black metal-inspired interludes, and stifling riff passages make this project a standout in the extreme metal underground. The Trousers – Hungarian rock veterans deliver raw, unpolished garage rock on Necessary Evil (8/10). Frontman Zoltán Kőváry explained that the album draws inspiration from Sartre’s Hell is other people, blending old-school rock energy with deeply personal themes, including a tribute to his late brother on the track “Drive Me to the Stars.” Review Summary: Comparisons to The Rolling Stones, MC5, and The Hellacopters highlight its raw, high-octane rock ’n’ roll vibe, fueled with gasoline in the veins. Mass Punishment – The American groove/thrash outfit made waves with Proving Grounds Devastation (8/10), showcasing symphonic elements and Tolkien-inspired storytelling. Formed by Iraq war veteran Chris “Axe” Milos, the band emphasizes the power of live performance. Notably, Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head/Kerry King) contributed lead guitar solos on “A Thousand Years of Darkness.” Review Summary: The album blends angelic vocals with symphonic, fantasy-driven metal, delivering an intricate yet aggressive sonic assault. Sons of Hades – Greek metallers fuse old-school heavy metal, black metal, and thrash on Tombs of the Blind Dead, creating a “nightmare soundtrack” influenced by classic horror films and literature. The band prioritizes atmosphere and emotion over perfection, crafting an experience that’s both terrifying and electrifying. Review Summary: Aggressive riffs, dark atmospheres, and horror-inspired storytelling make this a must-listen for fans of blackened thrash. Additional album reviews in the issue include: Killerwitch – Palace of the Dragon (8/10) – Maltese power metal with strong riffs, varied tempos, and commanding vocals. Katharein – Katharein (8/10) – Romanian heavy metal with modern elements, including vocals reminiscent of Rush. Cruentus – End Without End (7/10) – Swedish blackened death metal, fast-paced, turbulent, and aggressive. Balistic – The Parsons Tale (8/10) – Progressive/symphonic metal exploring the Seven Deadly Sins with conceptual storytelling. Waves Without Sound – Lost (7/10) – Atmospheric, technical progressive rock/metal from Sydney, drawing inspiration from Opeth and Dream Theater. “Metalized Magazine continues to be a beacon for the global metal community,” said Zach Moonshine of Metal Devastation PR. “This issue not only honors legendary acts like Megadeth and Exodus but also shines a spotlight on the next generation of extreme, underground, and progressive metal talent.” Metal fans worldwide are encouraged to grab a copy and immerse themselves in a curated experience of riffs, chaos, and raw metal energy.

Vicar Blood Unleashes Death Metal Fury on The Zach Moonshine Show Friday night, The Zach Moonshine Show went full-on death metal assault, and Cleveland’s newest underground predators, Vicar Blood, were right in the heart of it. From their debut single “When War Comes” to crushing riffs, gut-punch grooves, and relentless energy, this episode was a masterclass in old-school fury meeting modern ferocity. 🎧 Listen to the full show with new releases and classics on Mixcloud:https://www.mixcloud.com/thezachmoonshineshow/vicar-blood-unleashing-war-on-the-zach-moonshine-show-death-metal-domination/ From TikTok Riffs to Full-Blown Death Metal Dan Gates, the mastermind behind Vicar Blood, shared how the band came together in a story that could only happen in the age of social media. “I always seem like I always have something going on… and Veda heard some riffs I posted online, and she said, ‘Let’s start a band.’ And that’s how Vicar Blood began,” Dan said during our live interview segment. From that spark, the band quickly grew to include Steve Fernandez on bass, Will on guitar, and drummer Charlie, forming a lineup capable of bringing raw brutality with precision. They played their first show in December, opening for Castrator in Cleveland, and the response was immediate: “We couldn’t have asked for a better first show,” Dan said. 🎥 Check out the full interview segment on YouTube:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="8FGdA6Wd0LQ"] Writing, Recording, and DIY Metal Vicar Blood isn’t just about shredding and growling—they’re hands-on with every aspect of their music. Dan discussed mixing, mastering, and crafting the perfect guitar tone: “The first couple of songs were written in standard tuning, then I moved into drop A on my 7-string… ran it through my Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier and blended some IRs. Everybody in the band was really happy with it.” This DIY ethic is part of what makes the band exciting: the music is uncompromising, yet thoughtfully produced. They’re planning a full-length album to release before Inkcarceration Fest 2026, and most of the music is already written. 🎵 Listen on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/episode/2z2db1kwtLa9i21SgU2gey?si=54d3ec949cb740f8 The Metal Journey In our conversation, Dan also reflected on his musical upbringing, from skateboarding in the ’80s to discovering thrash and death metal, and ultimately carving his own path: “Once I heard Reign in Blood… I just didn’t know that music could be that evil, that extreme. It hooked me for life.” We talked about the tape-trading scene, early death metal influences, and the evolution of metal today: “It’s mind-blowing—these new bands keep taking it to the next level. And it all goes back to Black Sabbath, you know?” What’s Next for Vicar Blood For now, the band is laser-focused on writing and recording their full-length album. Local shows are on hold—they don’t want to get distracted from crafting music that hits hard and leaves a mark. With Inkcarceration Fest on the horizon, it’s clear that Vicar Blood is aiming for nothing less than domination. “If you’re interested in the band, go to vicarblood.com—everything you need is there, merch, music videos, all of it,” Dan told us. Crank It Loud If last night’s broadcast taught us anything, it’s that Vicar Blood isn’t here to play nice. They’re here to crush, to dominate, and to honor the spirit of old-school death metal while pushing it into the modern era. Whether it’s their riffs, their stories, or their gear nerding, they’re unapologetically metal. 🔥 Blast the full show, stream the interviews, and witness Vicar Blood in action: Full Track List:  Battle Of The Bands Top Six Winners: 1 - NIKOLA'S CAGE - Chopped Up Jesus - (10,019 votes)2 - Anima - Viral Nation - (6,005 votes)3 - MYSANTHRIUM - GREAT SLUMBER - (4,457 votes)4 - Mistress - Terrified eyes - (4,056 votes)5 - Cruenta Venganza - Moon Base Massacre - (2,822 votes)6 - Marie Catherine - No Tomorrow - (2,042 votes) The Zach Moonshine Intro 7 - Ozzy Osbourne - Miracle Man/Sweet Leaf8 - Dissonance - Induced Mentacide (Feat Ricky Myers from Suffocation)9 - Negative Sixxx - AGONY10 - Sküll - Who Killed The Rooster Vicar Blood - Interview featuring When War Comes/Resist/Destruction 11 - Vitriol - Shame and its Afterbirth12 - Testament - Meant to Be/Shadow People13 - Zach Moonshine - Barbarian14 - BDF - Bulldozing/Drinking The Blood Of Gods15 - The Grand Myth - KILLER WHALE16 - ROTTEN BLASPHEMY - Rise and Sin17 - ROCK N ROLL VILLAIN SOCIETY - Captain America and the Army of the Damned18 - NetherDred - Necrodancer19 - Crymwav - Speak No Evil20 - Black Reuss - Endgame21 - Cyanate - Fade Away22 - Aseptic - Lustful Butcher23 - WAKAS - Invocación del Uku Pacha. #VicarBlood #DeathMetal #ZachMoonshineShow #MetalDevastationRadio #WhenWarComes #OhioMetal #UndergroundMetal Super huge thanks to the 113,384 metalheads that tuned in LIVE!
