For Immediate Release Death Metal Powerhouse Plague of the Fallen Prepares for 2025 Domination Pre-save “Torturous Ascension”: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/plagueofthefallen/torturous-ascension-3 Release Date: November 7, 2025 Christchurch, New Zealand – New Zealand death metal stalwarts Plague of the Fallen are charging into 2025 with a renewed focus on crushing new music and expanding their global reach, following a string of successful releases and high-profile support slots. Formed in Christchurch in 2007 with the mission of delivering “punishing and vicious Death Metal,” Plague of the Fallen quickly carved out a reputation by playing countless local and national shows. Early achievements include receiving Musicianship and People’s Choice awards in the New Zealand band competition Rockquest, and opening for renowned New Zealand acts such as Ulcerate, 8 Foot Sativa, Sinate, and Dawn of Azazel. Their debut EP, Unleash the Vermin, and single The God of Depravity, both released in 2011, set the stage for a promising career before a temporary hiatus in 2015. A Vicious Rebirth and Modern Evolution Re-emerging in 2018 with a revitalized lineup, Plague of the Fallen brought a “renewed passion” to their craft, evolving into a modern take on death metal while steadily growing a dedicated fanbase across New Zealand. Their post-hiatus output emphasizes “well-written songs with memorable structures and thought-out lyrics,” without sacrificing the “relentless sound they have become renowned for.” Recent releases highlighting this evolution include singles Enemies of Existence and Fulfill Our Need for Suffering, the EP Bleeding and Vehement, the full-length album Amongst the Rats, and 2024’s latest single, Lord of Famine. Touring Success and Community Focus Plague of the Fallen’s commitment to producing international-quality music and visuals, in collaboration with partners like Demigod Recordings and Whisko Creative, has unlocked significant live opportunities. They’ve shared stages with international acts such as Skeletal Remains and Defeated Sanity, and toured nationally with Ulcerate, Cattle Decapitation, and Suffocation. Beyond supporting major acts, the band has headlined numerous shows and runs Dogfest, a charity event raising funds for local animal rescues. Looking Ahead to 2025 "Leading into 2025, Plague of the Fallen continues to craft music for their second full-length album," the band states, as they aim to expand their international presence with festival appearances and tours, while “showcasing their dominance on stages across New Zealand.” Discover more and stream their music: https://plagueofthefallen1.bandcamp.com Contact for Media Inquiries, Press Reviews, and Interviews:Zach Moonshine – zach@metaldevastationradio.com Follow the band:  https://www.facebook.com/PlagueoftheFallenhttps://www.instagram.com/plagueofthefallen/ Contact: Plagueofthefallen@gmail.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASENovember 13, 2025 KALMO UNLEASHES NEW BLACKENED DOOM SINGLE “THY SAVIOUR, THY MASTER” An unholy descent into darkness forged in Finland’s frostbitten depths Finland’s harbingers of darkness, Kalmo, return from the abyss with their devastating new single, “Thy Saviour, Thy Master,” out now on all major streaming platforms. This marks the band’s second single of 2025, following the July release that signaled a new and formidable chapter in Kalmo’s evolving dominion of blackened doom. With this release, Kalmo drags listeners even deeper into their world of suffocating gloom, melding the grit of raw black metal with the crushing weight of traditional doom. “Thy Saviour, Thy Master” is a sermon of despair—a nightmarish vision of corruption and damnation, painted in riffs as dense as tomb walls and vocals that echo from beyond the grave. “As a reviewer of underground metal I’d heard whispers of a new Kalmo single, then as if ordained by an uncanny cosmic alignment the opportunity to preview the track arose.I was left giddy, as ‘Thy Saviour, Thy Master’ hits hard with crushing heft, brutish composition and lyrics delivered with menacing intent... It paints a terrifyingly vivid image of a church inundated by unthinkable evil.”— Proua Metallist Continuing their collaboration with Roland of Cavern of Echoes (cavernofechoes.com)—who mixed and mastered the previous single—Kalmo ensures that every second of sonic weight is steeped in the band’s trademark darkness. The single also features a guest appearance by guitarist Juhani, whose leads carve new scars into Kalmo’s relentless soundscape. The single’s official video, produced by Kalmo, visualizes this descent into the abyss with stark, ritualistic imagery—an offering to those who worship at the altar of blackened doom. 🎧 Listen now: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/kalmo2/thy-saviour-thy-master https://kalmo-doom.bandcamp.com/track/thy-saviour-thy-master ABOUT KALMO Kalmo (meaning cadaver in English) is a Finnish blackened doom metal force that fuses the grim despair of doom with the ferocity of black and death metal. Their music is steeped in themes of death, damnation, and the inevitable end—echoing the spirits of Celtic Frost/Triptykon, Death Breath, and Konvent. Formed in Finland’s shadowed north, Kalmo continues to evolve its plague-ridden sound while working toward a new release slated within the next few months. The band is also finalizing its lineup with a permanent second guitarist and drummer to take their sonic rituals to the stage.

As one of the earliest flag bearers of the NJ/NY death metal scene, DETERIOROT forged their path alongside revered names like Revenant, Ripping Corpse, Immolation, Incantation, and Mortician. Their sound — a dark, atmospheric blend evoking the gloom of early Finnish and UK death metal, spiked with the raw power of the 1990 NJ/NY underground — has since become a cornerstone influence for the New Wave of Old School Death Metal movement. The upcoming full-length Awakening is a grim descent through the primordial essence of true death metal — unpolished, sinister, and steeped in dread. With Awakening, DETERIOROT reaffirms their status as one of the most authentic and uncompromising forces in U.S. death metal — a true relic of the old guard still burning with fire and conviction. “Awakening” drops October 21st, 2025 through Xtreem Music on CD, 12” LP, Cassette, and Digital formats.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HEXJAKT Summons the Darkness with Their Debut Album Blessing of the Damned Out December 1st via Majestic Mountain Records & Burning Skull Records Westmanland, Sweden — The cold winds of Sweden’s doom underground are stirring once again. Rising from the depths of despair, HEXJAKT unleashes their debut full-length album, Blessing of the Damned, on December 1st, a haunting descent into the murky realm between damnation and redemption. Formed in 2024, Hexjakt delivers a sonic experience that’s both crushing and transcendent. With slow, monolithic riffs, hypnotic grooves, and an atmosphere thick with ritual and dread, the band channels the spirit of Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, and Conan while forging their own distinct path through the void. Blessing of the Damned is a conceptual journey that explores the contrast between light and darkness, sin and sanctity — a lament and a celebration of the damned. Each track lumbers forward like a colossal beast, steeped in murky distortion and occult overtones. It’s doom metal at its most emotive and oppressive — music meant to be felt as much as heard. “Blessing of the Damned is no salvation,” the band declares. “It’s a curse you choose to carry.” The album was mixed and mastered at Studio Underjord, ensuring every tone and texture cuts through with heavy precision and atmospheric weight. The release will be available digitally across all major platforms, with a vinyl edition arriving through a collaboration between Majestic Mountain Records and Burning Skull Records. With their emotionally charged compositions and commanding live performances, Hexjakt has quickly become one of Sweden’s most promising new forces in doom metal. Blessing of the Damned cements that reputation — a dark, immersive experience that demands to be heard loud, late, and under a blood-red sky.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOCIETY 1 RECREATES KURT COBAIN SUICIDE ROOM IN POWERFUL NEW MUSIC VIDEO “YOU MADE ME” Shock rock band Society 1 has unveiled their latest and most provocative project yet with the release of their new music video, “You Made Me.” The video digitally recreates the infamous greenhouse where Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain took his own life in April 1994—offering a visceral and controversial visual experience that aims to spotlight the emotional toll of toxic relationships and mental illness. The original greenhouse structure—located behind Cobain's Lake Washington home—was demolished shortly after his death. Using actual crime scene photographs and advanced AI technology, Society 1 has meticulously reconstructed the space for the video, marking a first-of-its-kind depiction of the room in motion. “The song is about Kurt and another person I knew personally who took their own life because of what I believe was toxic love,” says frontman Matt Zane. “The chorus says, ‘Your love made me die.’ It’s a way of saying ‘Courtney Love made me die’—not in some conspiratorial way, but as a reflection of the lack of support, understanding, and emotional neglect some people face.” In addition to the band performing inside the virtual greenhouse, the video expands on never-before-seen perspectives of the surrounding environment, offering an emotionally immersive experience meant to put viewers in the shoes of those lost to suicide. “We used AI to place the viewer in the room like never before,” adds Zane. “I wanted them to feel the weight of standing where someone they cared about ended their life. That moment stuck with me forever.” The video ends with a harrowing scene: Zane himself depicted taking his own life with a shotgun—an artistic statement meant to underscore how vulnerable anyone can become under the weight of emotional trauma. “It could have been any one of us,” Zane explains. “When you’re with the wrong person and feel there’s no way out, it’s easy to imagine making the same tragic choice.” “You Made Me” is the band’s first music video following the release of Zane’s recent book, “Everyone Dies: The Matt Zane Reckoning” (Heavy Music Artwork), and earlier this year’s critically noted documentary “Everyone Dies (Rock Stars Don’t Count).” For Media Inquiries, Interviews, or Review Copies of the Book: Contact: zach@metaldevastationradio.comMovie Link: EveryoneDiesTheMovie.com  The full music video has been banned on YouTube, but you can still watch it on these platforms: 🎬 Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/1126958681?share=copy 🎬 Rumble: https://rumble.com/v708hp0-society-1-you-made-me.html 🎬 Direct Link: https://videopress.com/v/6XLFy1Gn [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="H7PRF4wESPU"] You can also watch it on EveryoneDiesTheMovie.com About Society 1:Known for their raw, boundary-pushing visuals and fearless lyrical content, Society 1 has built a career confronting the darker sides of fame, mental health, and identity.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Never Elected Launches “PinkQuarter” Campaign – Rocking for a Cause Against Cancer Washington, D.C.’s hard-hitting rockers Never Elected are turning up the volume for a cause that hits close to home. With their new initiative, PinkQuarter, the band is transforming the final months of the year into a season of awareness, action, and hope in the fight against cancer. Launching this October in tandem with Pinktober, PinkQuarter runs through November and December, aiming to raise funds and spotlight the importance of cancer awareness, prevention, and treatment. Fans are encouraged to support the effort via the Never Elected Fight Against Cancer Fund, a community-driven initiative where contributors help decide which cancer charity will receive the proceeds. “I’ve always been about giving back to society. With so much happening in the world and so many heartbreaking events unfolding every day, it feels like issues that 'Not so silently' claim millions of lives — like cancer and cardiac arrests — have taken a backseat. PinkQuarter is our way of bringing that conversation back to the forefront. This is just a small drop in a vast river, but if this little drop can create a ripple big enough to reach the oceans, it would be a wonderful feeling,” says lead vocalist Sujit Kumar. PinkQuarter isn’t just a campaign—it’s a visual statement. From stage décor to instruments, and from wardrobe accents to Sujit Kumar’s pink-dyed hair and beard, the band is fully embracing the signature color of solidarity. Fans attending live shows can expect exclusive stickers, pins, and merch as a thank-you for supporting both the cause and the local music community. The initiative has also garnered support from like-minded local businesses. Jessica Fateaux, founder of The Fateaux Group, has pledged to match all donations at the conclusion of the campaign. Her commitment is deeply personal: “Fourteen years ago, my mother was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer. Through chemo and radiation, she worked tirelessly for her clients, showing unwavering strength and compassion. Today, she’s thriving and cancer-free. I’m proud to help amplify awareness and support others facing this battle.” The PinkQuarter campaign exemplifies Never Elected’s dedication to turning rock energy into positive action. The band invites fans, local businesses, and music lovers everywhere to join the fight, spread awareness, and amplify hope—proving that the power of rock can make a real-world impact.
