FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CLUSTERFUX AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION UNLEASH EXPLOSIVE NEW SPLIT 7" OUT NOW VIA CHAIN REACTION RECORDS Denver Hardcore Crossover Veterans Keep the Thrash Alive Following D.R.I. Tour, Flatline Fest, and Decibel Magazine Pre-Fest Headlining Announcement Denver, Colorado – Denver crossover hardcore veterans CLUSTERFUX continue their relentless assault on the underground with the release of their blistering new split 7-inch alongside Conflict Resolution, available now through Chain Reaction Records. Released on July 3, 2026, the four-track split captures everything fans have come to expect from CLUSTERFUX: razor-sharp riffs, relentless speed, crushing grooves, and the unmistakable energy that has made them one of Colorado's longest-running and most respected hardcore crossover acts. Featuring the tracks "Infected," "Magats," "Just Like That," and "American Gestapo," the release delivers a fierce blend of hardcore punk and crossover thrash that pays homage to the genre's roots while sounding as urgent and aggressive as ever. Fans of The Exploited, D.R.I., and Final Conflict will find plenty to ignite the circle pit. Since forming in 1995, CLUSTERFUX have built their reputation through nearly three decades of uncompromising DIY dedication. Their explosive live performances have seen them tour alongside D.R.I. while sharing stages with legendary acts including Agnostic Front, Napalm Death, The Accüsed, Circle Jerks, Integrity, Subhumans, and countless others. Their latest full-length Defy, released through Beer City Records, further cemented their standing as one of the underground's premier crossover forces.

The band has also been announced as the headliner for the Decibel Magazine Pre-Fest Party on December 3 in Denver, further proving that CLUSTERFUX remain a driving force in today's hardcore and thrash scenes. The new split has already earned enthusiastic praise from critics and fans alike. "Get thrashed foos! In my opinion this is some of the best thrash out there right now. I'd put them up there with Dirty Rotten Imbeciles, and that's saying a lot! Clusterfux have made a name for themselves with their skater, thrash, crossover badassness." – Subkult Dethwish "This new split keeps the mosh pit going. The bass and drums sound massive. All four songs, 'Infected,' 'Magats,' 'Just Like That,' and 'American Gestapo,' are memorable and full of heavy riffage. The whole band is at the top of their game, and hopefully, we'll see another full-length from these Denver heroes soon." – Signal and Noise PHX The release was produced, mixed, and mastered by Bart McCrorey at Crash Pad Studios, delivering a crushing, high-powered production that perfectly complements the band's raw intensity.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Three Previously Unreleased Wayne Static Demos Discovered From the Early Static-X Era Rare Wisconsin Death Trip-Era Recordings Unearthed During Archival Research and Set for Restoration Three previously unheard Wayne Static demo recordings from the early days of Static-X have been discovered by director Matt Zane while researching archival material connected to his upcoming Wayne Static and Tera Wray documentary project. The recordings are believed to date back to approximately 1996, during the formative period that would eventually lead to Static-X’s groundbreaking debut album, Wisconsin Death Trip. The rare demos offer fans a unique glimpse into the creative process and early musical evolution of one of modern metal’s most recognizable voices. While the discovery was an exciting moment, the age and condition of the recordings presented a challenge. "It was exciting to hear these tracks, but this demo had to be from around 1996, so it's in rough shape. I knew I had to bring in a proper producer to save it," said Zane. To help restore and preserve the recordings, Zane brought in Mikael Johnston, founder of electronic rock pioneers Mephisto Odyssey and a longtime collaborator of Wayne Static. Johnston previously worked with Wayne on the track "Crash" from the Batman Beyond soundtrack, created remixes for Static-X, and produced an alternate version of the band's iconic hit "Push It." "Wayne and I always talked about doing more music together after 'Crash' and the remixes, but unfortunately our schedules never lined up. Now I can finally honor him by restoring these tracks and giving the fans something truly special," said Johnston. The newly discovered demos represent a rare piece of Static-X history, capturing an important chapter in Wayne Static’s journey before the band’s rise to international success. For longtime fans, the recordings provide another opportunity to celebrate the creativity and legacy of a musician who left a lasting mark on the metal world. A short preview of one of the original demos can be heard in Matt Zane’s recent social media update. Additional information regarding the restoration process and potential future release plans will be announced as details become available. Wayne Static’s influence continues to inspire generations of musicians and fans worldwide, and these newly uncovered recordings offer a powerful reminder of the creativity that helped shape the sound of an era.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Seethe Unleashes Crushing New Single “Critic // Critique” Blending Nu Metal Aggression With Modern Alternative Metal Chaos New Track Out Now Released: July 25, 2026 Stream & Purchase:https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/seethe/critic--critique-2 Bandcamp:https://seethe1.bandcamp.com FFO: Linkin Park, Static-X, Bring Me The Horizon Emerging from the chaos and uncertainty of the Covid-19 pandemic, Seethe has continued carving out a unique space within the modern metal landscape. Now, the project unleashes its latest hard-hitting single, “Critic // Critique,” delivering a powerful collision of early 2000s nu metal emotion, alternative metal intensity, and the distorted electronic aggression of today’s trap metal movement. Born in 2020 from the creative vision of Patrick McElravy, vocalist of 9 Stitch Method, Seethe was created as an outlet for raw emotion, frustration, and experimentation. Combining manic, emotionally charged vocal performances with crushing riffs, electronic textures, and a modern sonic edge, Seethe bridges the gap between the sounds that defined a generation and the evolving future of heavy music. “Critic // Critique is a hard hitting song about facing the adversity against the conditioned ‘normality’ of society,” explains McElravy. The track confronts the pressure to conform while embracing the struggle of standing apart and challenging expectations. The new single showcases Seethe’s continued evolution beyond its early trap metal influences, expanding into a heavier and more diverse sound incorporating elements of alternative metal and deathcore. The track serves as another glimpse into the upcoming project “Blue Notes & Old Doses,” where Seethe continues pushing boundaries and exploring the darker corners of modern metal. Since its formation, Seethe has quickly gained momentum, sharing stages with acts including King 810 and Twiztid, while also earning recognition through features in Nu Metal: The Definitive Guide. With each release, Seethe continues proving that the spirit of nu metal is alive and evolving through a new generation of artists. For “Critic // Critique,” Patrick McElravy handled all vocal writing, recording, and performances, while Jacob Lizotte of Dark Cabin Studios composed and produced the instrumental. The track was mixed and mastered by Gus Wallner of You Think Music, bringing together a polished yet punishing sound built for fans of heavy music’s past, present, and future. With a fearless approach and a refusal to follow a predetermined formula, Seethe stands ready to make an impact with a sound that is emotional, aggressive, and unapologetically different.

Drawing influence from artists such as HEALTH, Nine Inch Nails, Lorn, Celldweller, Combichrist, and Perturbator, Binary Order crafts soundscapes that feel like fragments recovered from a collapsing digital civilization. “Vestige” continues the narrative journey of The Same Dream, combining massive synth textures, mechanical rhythms, atmospheric tension, and emotionally charged melodies into another chapter of the album’s evolving story. The accompanying music video for “Vestige” expands the visual world of Binary Order, creating a cinematic representation of the track’s themes of memory, loss, and the remnants of humanity existing inside an increasingly synthetic reality. Entirely self-produced, mixed, and mastered by Benjamin Blank, Binary Order represents complete creative control and a commitment to building an immersive world where music, storytelling, and technology collide. With The Same Dream, Binary Order explores a future where memories can be manipulated, identities can be rewritten, and the search for humanity continues through the endless noise of the machine.

The track delivers Lord Gryphus’ ferocious take on one of extreme metal’s most influential early anthems, originally written and performed by Sepultura for their legendary 1986 debut album Morbid Visions. Staying true to the raw aggression and primitive energy of the original, Lord Gryphus transform the classic track through their own ritualistic and uncompromising death metal vision. The cover features guest appearances from Reese Alavi of Creeping Death on vocals and Mike De León (Flesh Hoarder / Soulfly) with a blistering guest guitar solo, adding further intensity to this tribute to one of metal’s foundational moments. The accompanying video brings the concept of Summoning the King of Death to life, following the album’s ritualistic themes as Reese Alavi and Mike De León are summoned through flames before the video transitions into a live performance from Lord Gryphus, capturing the band’s raw energy and ceremonial atmosphere. “Troops of Doom” represents a salute to the pioneers who helped define extreme metal while honoring the underground spirit that continues to drive the genre forward. Formed as an anonymous masked three-piece, Lord Gryphus channel the darkness and aggression of classic death metal while building their own mythology around execution, sacrifice, and devotion to the carrion deity Lord Gryphus, inspired by Vultur gryphus, the Andean condor and a symbol connected to death, transcendence, and spiritual power. Their debut album Summoning the King of Death delivers a crushing blend of old-school death metal brutality, oppressive atmosphere, and ritualistic intensity. Drawing influence from legendary acts including Morbid Angel, Gorefest, Sepultura, Grave, Autopsy, Incantation, and Sinister, the band creates a sound rooted in the savage spirit of the early extreme metal underground. Lyrically, the album explores themes of colonial violence, cultural erasure, imposed religion, ancestral traditions, and forgotten histories, creating a release that is as conceptual as it is confrontational. Summoning the King of Death was recorded at Red Nova Ranch in Bastrop, Texas, with Jeff Henson handling tracking, reamping, guitars, and bass. Vocals were recorded and produced by Kike Valderrama at Buziraco's Lair Studio. The album was mixed and mastered by Andrés Mauricio Gallón at Sound Blast Studios in Armenia, Colombia.

Larcenia Roe Return With Controversial New Single "Sandy Cheeks" Ahead Of North American Tour With AngelMaker And Ingested Raleigh, North Carolina's Larcenia Roe are back with another uncompromising statement. The rising horror deathcore outfit has unleashed their brand new standalone single and music video, "Sandy Cheeks," through Unique Leader Records, delivering one of the band's most politically charged releases to date. Rather than focusing solely on the genre's trademark brutality, "Sandy Cheeks" dives headfirst into a controversial subject, questioning United States military spending and foreign intervention. According to the band: "'Sandy Cheeks' questions the United States' defense spending on foreign conflict. Since 2001, the U.S. has spent roughly $8 trillion on post-9/11 wars and related costs. Since 2022, Congress has also committed hundreds of billions of dollars to overseas military assistance, security support, and military operations tied to conflicts abroad. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has never passed a full financial audit, and the national debt has climbed to more than $39 trillion." The track pairs Larcenia Roe's signature blend of chaotic riffs, punishing breakdowns, unsettling atmosphere, and unpredictable songwriting with a lyrical message that is sure to spark discussion among fans both inside and outside the metal community. Fans can stream the new single and watch the official music video now: Watch "Sandy Cheeks":[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="sCqY5qHjAK4"] The release arrives just days before the band embarks on an extensive North American run supporting AngelMaker and Ingested.

Their debut EP, Dereliction (2024), generated significant attention across social media, Reddit communities, and metal influencers, helping the band secure a deal with Unique Leader Records less than a year after their formation. Their 2025 full-length debut, Extraction, further elevated the band's profile with guest appearances from members of Vulvodynia, Filth, and Alex Koehler. The album earned praise for its unpredictable songwriting and relentless intensity, with critics describing it as everything from a "sonic freak show" to one of the most exciting releases in modern deathcore. With "Sandy Cheeks," Larcenia Roe continue to prove they aren't interested in playing it safe. Combining technical brutality, horror-inspired chaos, and provocative social commentary, the band is pushing the boundaries of what modern deathcore can be while preparing to bring that intensity to stages across North America this summer. For fans of boundary-pushing extreme metal, this is one release and one tour worth keeping on your radar. Less
