FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EATEN BY SHARKS ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM THE UNDERTOW OF HATE. FIRST SINGLE “CAPSIZED” DROPS MAY 30 VIA CDN RECORDS Presave & stream: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/eatenbysharks1/capsized Canada’s rising extreme metal force Eaten By Sharks return with a vengeance, announcing their upcoming full-length album The Undertow Of Hate, set for release July 17, 2026 via CDN Records. Leading the charge is the album’s first single, “Capsized,” arriving May 30 and delivering a crushing preview of the band’s most focused and punishing material to date. Blending progressive death metal with technical precision, groove-heavy riffs, and deathcore aggression, Eaten By Sharks have evolved far beyond their earlier Eradication era. With The Undertow Of Hate, the band leans fully into a composition-driven approach, crafting songs that prioritize flow, momentum, and unpredictability over formula. “Capsized” serves as the opening descent into the album’s dark conceptual narrative. It captures the moment where calm waters give way to chaos, setting the tone for a cinematic journey through isolation, destruction, and transformation at sea. The track showcases the band’s signature balance of polyrhythmic complexity, shifting time signatures, and straight crushing groove, all while maintaining cohesion. The band states: “Eaten By Sharks follow up their 2022 release, Eradication, with a more refined and fully realized record in The Undertow of Hate. This album reflects a deeper understanding of who we are as artists. We took time to fully immerse ourselves in the writing process and build a cohesive concept rooted in a single cinematic moment of horror. The record follows a journey that begins in calm, descends into chaos at sea, and ultimately returns to where it started, transformed into something darker and irreversible. Throughout the album, subtle thematic details and visual elements tie directly into the overarching concept, creating a unified experience between the music and the artwork. Musically, we push further into the sound we’ve become known for, blending polyrhythms, odd time signatures, and crushing grooves while always prioritizing flow and momentum between ideas. Working again with producer Christian Donaldson helped tighten the performances and bring out the best in the material. The Undertow of Hate represents some of our most focused and punishing work to date. It is heavy, groovy, and constantly evolving without losing coherence.” Produced by Eaten By Sharks and Christian Donaldson, and engineered, mixed, and mastered by Donaldson, the album captures the band at their sharpest and most intentional. Each track shifts between technical brutality, groove-laden passages, and relentless aggression, all tied together by a dark conceptual thread rooted in nautical horror. For fans of Fit For An Autopsy, Gojira, and Cattle Decapitation, The Undertow Of Hate is shaping up to be a standout release in modern extreme metal, pushing boundaries while staying firmly grounded in heaviness.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Red Vinter Unleash New Single “Cryptic Site” From Upcoming Album Ghost In The Fog St. Paul, MN – Doom and death metal crushers Red Vinter are back with a vengeance, dropping their brand new single “Cryptic Site” today, April 24, 2026. Serving as the first glimpse into their forthcoming second full-length album Ghost In The Fog, the track hits like a slow-moving freight train wrapped in fog and fire. Recorded at Minneapolis’ renowned 14:59 Studios, Ghost In The Fog marks a serious step forward for the band. The album was co-produced by vocalist/bassist Mike Bullock alongside engineer Will Maravelas, the same force behind their debut Lumbering Menace. This time around, Red Vinter lean even harder into the abyss, delivering eight tracks that crank up the weight, atmosphere, and emotional punch. “Cryptic Site” sets the tone right out of the gate. It’s tense, suffocating, and cinematic in all the right ways. Built on crawling riffs and a sense of looming dread, the song pulls listeners into a nightmarish scene of confusion, fear, and survival. Lines like “What – what is this place? Where – where am I?” and the desperate cry of “RUNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!” paint a vivid picture of being trapped in something unknown and dangerous, while the band’s signature low-and-slow heaviness drives it straight into your chest. The single also shows how far the band has come since Lumbering Menace, which continues to gain traction across underground radio. Tracks like “Ashes” and “Insurgent” have been making the rounds on stations including WXAX, KFAI, KMSU, and beyond, building a loyal following the old-school way… one spin at a time. Fans won’t have to wait long to hear “Cryptic Site” in its natural habitat either. Red Vinter are set to bring the new material to the stage at Sinkfest II, where they’ll debut the track live alongside crowd favorites. Expect it to be loud, slow, and absolutely punishing. With Ghost In The Fog on the horizon and “Cryptic Site” now out in the wild, Red Vinter are doubling down on what they do best… heavy, haunting, no-frills doom that sticks with you long after the speakers stop shaking.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Day 40 Unleash New Single “Tyrant of Syracuse” Featuring Kris Norris — Second Strike From Upcoming Album Phenomenon London, UK – UK metal force Day 40 return with a vengeance, dropping their brand new single “Tyrant of Syracuse” today. The track serves as the second single from their highly anticipated full-length album Phenomenon, set for worldwide release on June 12, 2026. Following the release of the first single “Tunguska” earlier this year, Day 40 double down with a track that hits harder, cuts deeper, and expands their sonic arsenal. “Tyrant of Syracuse” showcases the band’s signature blend of thrash precision, melodic tension, and cinematic atmosphere, while pushing their sound into even more ambitious territory. Adding serious firepower to the track is guitarist Kris Norris (ex-Darkest Hour), who tears through a blistering guest solo that brings an extra layer of intensity. The song also features multi-instrumentalist Nikolay Velev, known for his work with Scapegoat and others, contributing rich, atmospheric keyboards that elevate the track’s epic scope. It’s been a long road since Day 40’s debut album Only The Stones Remain, released twelve years ago, but this is a band that clearly didn’t sit still. With the addition of virtuoso lead guitarist Nikolay Atanasov and powerhouse drummer Hugo Terva, the lineup is tighter, sharper, and ready to do some real damage. “Tyrant of Syracuse” dives into themes of power, control, and downfall, wrapping historical influence in a modern, aggressive sonic assault. It’s the kind of track that feels just as comfortable blasting through headphones as it does shaking the walls of a packed venue. Fans can check out the new single now here:https://www.submithub.com/link/day-40-and-kris-norris-tyrant-of-syracuse With Phenomenon on the horizon, Day 40 are proving they’re not just back, they’re leveling up.

Misery Index Sign to Season of Mist, Announce New Music and 2026 European/UK Tour Veteran death metal juggernauts Misery Index are officially back in the fold with Season of Mist, setting the stage for a new chapter that includes fresh material and a massive European and UK headline run in 2026. For a quarter century, Misery Index have carved out their place as one of extreme metal’s most relentless forces, blending death metal and grindcore with razor-sharp social commentary. With ties to heavyweights like Dying Fetus and Pig Destroyer, the Baltimore-based outfit have built a reputation the hard way, through seven acclaimed albums, over 1,500 live shows, and performances across 46 countries alongside genre titans. Now, the band are gearing up to unleash new music from their upcoming eighth full-length album, marking their return to the label that previously released The Killing Gods (2014) and Rituals of Power (2019). Bassist and vocalist Jason Netherton shared his enthusiasm about the reunion: “We in Misery Index are mega-chuffed to be back in the cozy, dark embrace of the Season of Mist family! The delicious smell of a classic independent label is both welcoming and intoxicating. Like the minstrels of yore, we wandered into the wilderness for a few years until we found our way back to where we belong.” 2026 European & UK Headline Tour The band will hit the road next summer for their “An Epitaph for Endtimes” tour, including appearances at major festivals like Wacken Open Air and Summer Breeze. Confirmed dates: July 28 – Helsinki, Finland @ Kult July 30 – Wacken, Germany @ Wacken Open Air August 1 – Dortmund, Germany @ Dortmund Death Fest August 2 – Saint Maurice de Gourdans, France @ Sylak Open Air August 4 – Deinze, Belgium @ Elpee August 5 – The Hague, Netherlands @ Musicon August 6 – Schlotheim, Germany @ Party.San Open Air August 8 – Swansea, UK @ Sin City August 9 – Manchester, UK @ Rebellion August 10 – Birmingham, UK @ Castle & Falcon August 11 – Bridgwater, UK @ The Cobblestones August 13 – Munich, Germany @ Backstage August 14 – Dinkelsbühl, Germany @ Summer Breeze August 15 – Sulingen, Germany @ Reload Festival A Legacy of Relentless Evolution Since forming in 2001 as a studio project, Misery Index have steadily evolved into a dominant force in extreme music. From their debut Retaliate on Nuclear Blast to their influential run with Relapse Records and later Century Media Records, the band have consistently delivered uncompromising records while expanding their global reach. Critics have long praised their intensity and relevance: Decibel called them “a behemoth” Pitchfork highlighted their destructive precision Metal Hammer noted their timely and politically charged approach Metal Injection described their sound as “impressively heavy, expansive and loud” Through lineup changes and shifting industry tides, the current roster of Jason Netherton (bass/vocals), Mark Kloeppel (guitar/vocals), Darin Morris (lead guitar), and Adam Jarvis (drums) has remained a rock-solid unit. What’s Next With new music on the horizon and a major tour locked in, Misery Index aren’t slowing down. If anything, they’re doubling down on everything that’s made them essential listening for decades. No nostalgia act here. This is a band still in the fight, still writing, still touring, and still pushing back against the chaos of the world the only way they know how: loud, fast, and unapologetic. Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Casket Kids Unleash “Through Death,” A Blood Soaked Blend Of Metal, Hardcore, And Punk From Upcoming Album Black Miasma Huntsville, AL – April 24, 2026 – Huntsville’s own underground horror merchants The Casket Kids return with a brand new slab of chaos titled “Through Death,” the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming album Black Miasma. This time around, the band digs even deeper into the dark side of myth and consequence, delivering a track that warns of the horrors of necromancy, the price of forbidden rites, and what happens when the dead do not stay quiet. “Through Death” is a fierce fusion of metal, hardcore, and punk energy, built for fans who like their music raw, loud, and a little dangerous. It is the kind of track that does not just play in your speakers, it crawls around in your head after. “Through Death, They Live!” That is the band’s own chilling declaration behind the single, and it sets the tone perfectly for what The Casket Kids are building with Black Miasma. The band continues to sharpen their identity with a sound that pulls from old-school rebellion and horror soaked theatrics, carving out a lane that feels both familiar and twisted in all the right ways. FFO: The Misfits, Ramones, Black Flag, Pentagram ABOUT THE BAND The Casket Kids are:Christian Youngblood on vocalsPaul “Tokin” Dupont on guitarJohnny “Decay” Perna on bassBrennan “Pepper” Persing on drums Born out of the Huntsville underground, the band has already carved a reputation for blending horror imagery with punk attitude and heavy hitting metal aggression. Their debut album SHI opened the door. Black Miasma looks like the one kicking it off the hinges. Produced with the same raw intensity that defines their sound, The Casket Kids continue pushing forward without cleaning anything up for comfort.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FALSE MESSIAH RETURNS WITH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “SHADOWS OF FAITH” False Messiah keeps building their dark symphonic world with the release of “Shadows of Faith”, arriving April 22nd, 2026! False Messiah is a cinematic symphonic dark metal collective known for fusing orchestral drama with modern heavy production and dystopian storytelling. This new single continues the unfolding narrative from previous releases like Iron Sky and Rise of the Seven, all leading toward the upcoming full-length album Seven, due June 19 via Semetery Records. “Shadows of Faith” digs deeper into the psychological fallout of collapse and betrayal. As belief systems fracture and symbols lose their weight, the track turns inward, exploring how conviction survives when everything familiar falls apart. It is heavy, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, carrying that signature cinematic weight the band has been carving out since day one. Think sweeping orchestration colliding with modern metal aggression, wrapped in a story that feels both mythic and uncomfortably human. FOR FANS OF: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Lord of the Lost, Epica, In This Moment GENRES: Cinematic Metal, Symphonic Metal, Dark Metal, Gothic Thrash, Heavy Metal, Emo Nu Metal This is not just another release. It is another fracture in the system.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Evil Age Return with Crushing New Single “Demon Grip” – Video Premieres May 5, 2026 Niagara Escarpment – There’s no easing into this one. Evil Age are back, and they’re coming in swinging. Fresh off their signing with CDN Records, the band unleashes their latest single, “Demon Grip,” a vicious descent into the darker corners of the human mind. Where their debut established the tone, “Demon Grip” digs deeper and hits harder. This track is all about letting the wrong forces take hold. It explores what happens when you feed the negative, obsess over destructive thoughts, and slowly shut out anything good trying to break through. It’s not subtle. It’s not pretty. It’s a full-on psychological spiral set to bone-crushing riffs and relentless aggression. Evil Age continue to carve out their identity with a sound that feels ancient and hostile, blending suffocating heaviness with feral speed. This isn’t just music you throw on in the background. It’s something that drags you under and makes you sit in it. Lyrically, “Demon Grip” paints a bleak picture of transformation. Over time, the damage builds. The person you were fades out. What’s left is something colder, something unrecognizable. A shell overtaken by something you willingly let in. That’s the hook right there. This isn’t possession forced on you. It’s invited. And once it’s got you, it doesn’t let go. The official video for “Demon Grip” premieres May 5, 2026, and if it matches the intensity of the track, it’s going to leave a mark. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="8zzTfl0uo54"] CDN Records continues to back artists that don’t play it safe, and Evil Age fit that mold perfectly. No trends, no compromises. Just raw, punishing metal with something to say, even if it’s staring straight into the abyss. Stay locked in. This is just the next chapter, and it’s already getting darker.
