FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REAPING ASMODEIA Announce Crushing New Single "Terminal Lucidity" Out July 31 Via Cardinal Sun Records | Limited Edition CD Pre-Orders  Twin Cities technical death metal force returns with a blistering new anthem exploring humanity's final moment of clarity before collapse. Twin Cities, MN, July 2026, Twin Cities technical death metal powerhouse Reaping Asmodeia return with "Terminal Lucidity," a ferocious new single arriving July 31 through Cardinal Sun Records in partnership with Blood Blast Distribution. Built on speed, precision, hooks, and the kind of controlled chaos the band has sharpened over years of pushing themselves further into the extreme. Fans can pre-save the single now: Pre-Save: https://bfan.link/terminallucidity The title draws inspiration from the medical phenomenon often referred to as "the rally," in which terminally ill patients experience an unexpected return of clarity, memory, strength, or awareness shortly before death. Reaping Asmodeia transforms that haunting concept into a larger metaphor, asking a disturbing question: What if humanity itself is experiencing one final moment of lucidity before impact? Lyrically, "Terminal Lucidity" explores mental health, spiritual awakening, modern distraction, and the growing sense that society is accelerating toward disaster while refusing to acknowledge the warning signs. Vocalist Eric Keyes explains: "The medical phenomenon itself is fascinating, but what hit me harder was the metaphor. I feel more awake, more alive, and in some ways more healed than I have in years, while also feeling like the world around us is getting closer to some kind of violent breaking point. We've traded so much of ourselves for convenience, distraction, and this endless attention economy. We're more connected than ever, yet somehow easier to divide, manipulate, and herd." Written collaboratively, the song was designed to showcase Reaping Asmodeia's blistering musicianship without sacrificing memorable songwriting. Keyes continues: "This song is very fast, very pissed off, and built to hit immediately. But underneath that, there's still a human message. Most people are not your enemy, no matter how badly the world wants to convince you otherwise. We need to stand closer together as artists, friends, family, neighbors, and total fucking strangers, because if we don't, the people and systems built on division will keep walking us straight to the slaughterhouse floor." With "Terminal Lucidity," Reaping Asmodeia deliver an adrenaline-fueled dose of technical death metal crafted to cut through the endless doomscroll, reward repeat listens, and remind listeners that clarity means little if it arrives too late. Limited Edition CD Available A limited edition CD edition will also be released on July 31 through Cardinal Sun Records, featuring: "Terminal Lucidity""Sanctuary of Poison""Shattered Leviathan"A crushing cover of Chimaira's "Nothing Remains"Exclusive instrumental bonus tracks CD pre-orders: https://reapingasmodeia.limitedrun.com Upcoming Live Dates July 16 - Rock Fest, Cadott, WIwith Machine Head, Hatebreed, Upon A Burning Body & more July 25 - Earth Rider Festival Grounds, Superior, WI August 1 - Zhora Darling, Minneapolis, MN"Terminal Lucidity" Release Show September 11 - Wooly's, Des Moines, IAwith All Shall Perish & Carnifex September 12 - Manitowoc Metal Fest, PetSkull Brewing, Manitowoc, WIwith Born of Osiris, Jungle Rot, Cognitive & more Release Information Single: Terminal LucidityArtist: Reaping AsmodeiaRelease Date: July 31, 2026Label: Cardinal Sun RecordsDistribution: Blood Blast Distribution Pre-Save: https://bfan.link/terminallucidity CD Pre-Order: https://reapingasmodeia.limitedrun.com Connect: https://www.facebook.com/reapingasmodeia/https://www.instagram.com/reapingasmodeia/ Contact: reapingasmodeia@gmail.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CAYNE Release New Single "Domina" Featuring Xandria Vocalist Ambre Vourvahis | Inspired by Nevernight as the Acclaimed Fantasy Series Celebrates 10 Years Listen Now: https://hypeddit.com/cayne/domina Italian modern metal force CAYNE have officially released their powerful new single, "Domina," available now on all major digital platforms. Blending cinematic storytelling with crushing modern metal, the track delivers an emotionally charged anthem inspired by one of fantasy literature's most unforgettable heroines. Following the momentum of their previous single "Outcast," CAYNE return with one of their most ambitious releases to date. "Domina" features a stunning guest appearance from Ambre Vourvahis, acclaimed vocalist of melodic symphonic metal band Xandria, whose soaring performance creates a dramatic vocal duet alongside CAYNE's frontwoman. Inspired by Mia Corvere, the unforgettable anti-heroine from Jay Kristoff's internationally acclaimed Nevernight trilogy, "Domina" arrives as fans celebrate the series' 10th anniversary. The song explores Mia's relentless pursuit of vengeance, her brutal training as an elite assassin, and her mysterious ability to command and communicate with the shadows. The lyrical narrative captures the essence of one of modern fantasy's most compelling female protagonists. Fierce, sarcastic, and morally complex, Mia walks the razor's edge between darkness and redemption, accompanied by her enigmatic shadow companion. Through their contrasting vocal performances, CAYNE and Ambre Vourvahis bring this duality vividly to life, creating a haunting and unforgettable listening experience. Adding even more authenticity to the project, Nevernight author Jay Kristoff has long been known as a passionate fan of heavy metal, making the connection between literature and metal culture especially fitting. The single artwork was created by renowned artist Giannis Nakos of Remedy Art Design, whose portfolio includes artwork for legendary acts including Evergrey, Kamelot, Suffocation, and many others.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE SPECTRE BENEATH RETURN WITH NEW ALBUM THE DEVIL’S WHISPER UK Power/Progressive Metal Force Expands Its Cinematic Universe on New Full-Length Release Out July 17, 2026 The UK based power/progressive metal band The Spectre Beneath returns with their newest studio album The Devil’s Whisper, set for release on July 17, 2026. Blending razor sharp musicianship, cinematic storytelling, and emotionally charged vocals, the band continues to push a sound shaped by classic influence and modern ambition. Drawing inspiration from giants like Megadeth, Savatage, Queensrÿche, and the theatrical edge of Iron Maiden, The Spectre Beneath fuse progressive complexity with melodic weight and narrative depth. A BAND SHAPED BY EVOLUTION AND ENDURANCE The Spectre Beneath began in 2018 when guitarist Pete Worrall and longtime collaborator Katy Lennon began developing material that leaned more melodic and cinematic than their previous work in Plague and the Decay. What started as a side idea quickly evolved into a full creative identity. With drummer Consta Taylor joining the fold and vocalist L.L bringing a unique, nontraditional phrasing style, the band released The Downfall of Judith King in 2019, followed by The New Identity of Sidney Stone in 2020, later reissued via WormHoleDeath Records. Both releases earned critical praise for their ambitious storytelling and genre fusion. After L.L stepped away in 2021 due to health reasons, the band faced uncertainty but continued forward, later recruiting vocalist Nicole Garza for 2023’s The Ashen Child. By 2024, lineup changes once again left the future unclear until a renewed creative spark arrived in early 2026, reigniting the project. THE DEVIL’S WHISPER EXPANDS THE STORY The Devil’s Whisper connects directly to earlier chapters in the band’s narrative, continuing themes introduced in The Downfall of Judith King and The Ashen Child. Tracks like “The Devil’s Whisper” and “Forgiveness” carry forward the unfolding saga, while other songs explore cinematic influences including Hammer Horror inspired storytelling with “Sister Hyde” and “The Man Who Could Cheat Death.” The band also nods to television drama influence with the melancholic “White Tulip,” adding emotional depth to an already expansive record. Across the album, The Spectre Beneath refine their signature blend of soaring vocals, intricate guitar work, and dramatic progressive arrangements that balance melody with intensity.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SCREAM MAGAZINE (NORWAY) FEATURES MULTIPLE METAL DEVASTATION PR CLIENTS IN LATEST ISSUE A strong showing in the newest issue of Norway’s legendary heavy music publication brings international attention to several Metal Devastation PR roster artists, with reviews spanning melodic symphonic metal, groove and thrash, black metal influence, and experimental heaviness. The coverage highlights releases from Element of Fate, Creeper, Thy Sanatorium, and Eternal Drak, all featured in the latest edition of Scream Magazine. ELEMENT OF FATE – “Dreamfall” Self-financed melodic symphonic heavy metal release from American duo Carol Phillips and Scott Loose earns a detailed spotlight. Reviewer Stig Bøgeaard notes the album’s atmosphere, drama, and stylistic range across its seven tracks, pointing out standout moments like “Shadow Self” and the title track’s Type O Negative vibe. Key highlights from the review include praise for the album’s atmosphere and composition variety, with comparisons to Amorphis, King Diamond, Nightwish, and early Iron Maiden influences appearing throughout the coverage. The review closes on a positive note, stating the album delivers a solid, atmospheric experience with a charismatic vocal presence. CREEPER – “Crushing” The second full-length from Creeper receives a more critical response in the No Life Til Metal segment. Per Aage Melby describes the groove and thrash influenced effort as uneven, noting a lack of punch and consistency across the release, while still acknowledging the band’s effort in pushing heaviness within the style. THY SANATORIUM – “Thy Sanatorium” A masked black metal project draws attention for its melodic and symphonic approach, tight production, and strong guitar work. Frank Bøkseth highlights the guitar performance and vocal mix, while also noting the band’s influences in the Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth sphere. The review suggests potential, while pointing out the band is still developing its own identity within the genre. ETERNAL DRAK – “The Violence Of Time” Canadian act Eternal Drak receives the most direct critique in the issue, with reviewer Per Aage Melby delivering a harsh assessment of the album’s energy and impact. The review describes the release as lacking punch and inspiration, with concerns about the overall production feel and performance energy, while also noting vocal delivery as overly strained. ABOUT THE FEATURE This latest coverage in Scream Magazine continues the publication’s long-standing tradition of spotlighting underground and international metal releases across multiple subgenres, giving readers a raw cross-section of the global heavy music scene. For Metal Devastation PR, the feature marks another wave of international press visibility for its roster, reinforcing the global reach of independent heavy music promotion. Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MOTHERTOMB ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM DYING TO LIVE OUT JULY 14 Northern Michigan Doom Collective Unleash a Crushing Journey Through Darkness, Transformation, and Occult Atmosphere Stream and pre-order: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/mothertomb/dying-to-live https://mothertomb.bandcamp.com/album/dying-to-live Emerging from the frozen forests of Northern Michigan, Mothertomb are preparing to unveil their debut full-length album, Dying to Live, arriving July 14, 2026. Blending the crushing weight of traditional doom metal with the hypnotic textures of stoner rock, heavy psych, gothic atmosphere, sludge, and progressive songwriting, the independent quartet delivers a powerful first statement that is as emotionally haunting as it is sonically devastating. For fans of Black Sabbath, Windhand, Pentagram, Candlemass, Solitude Aeturnus, and Acid King, Dying to Live presents five expansive compositions exploring themes of suffering, transformation, transcendence, and the eternal struggle between darkness and light. Inspired by Welsh folklore and the shadowed depths of the human psyche, the album journeys through allegorical landscapes populated by ancient spirits, inner demons, and the unseen forces that shape the human condition. The band's name itself was born from tragedy. During Northern Michigan's historic ice storm of April 2025, widespread devastation left more than 145,000 residents without power for weeks in below-freezing temperatures. Witnessing the forests encased in thick ice, simultaneously breathtaking and catastrophic, the members found themselves staring into what felt like Mother Nature's own tomb. That surreal duality of beauty and destruction became the inspiration for the name Mothertomb, perfectly reflecting the emotional and sonic contrasts that define their music. "Set for release on July 14, 2026, Dying to Live is Mothertomb's debut full-length album. Across its five tracks, the record explores themes of transformation, suffering, transcendence, and the timeless struggle between darkness and light. Drawing inspiration from Welsh folklore and the shadowed corners of the human psyche, the songs traverse landscapes inhabited by ancient spirits, inner demons, and the forces that shape the human condition. The album unfolds through layers of metaphor, allegory, and introspection, inviting listeners into a world where darkness and illumination coexist. From brutal heaviness to moments of eerie beauty, Dying to Live is a journey through the depths of the human experience. Created entirely as an independent DIY effort, the album was written, recorded, produced, and artistically directed by the band itself. Dying to Live stands as a testament to that labor of love, and we are honored to share it with the world." Long before the album's release, Mothertomb began earning widespread praise throughout the underground metal community with the singles "Beware" and "Mountain Hag." Steve Howe of Outlaws of the Sun described "Beware" as: "An intriguing and superbly executed proposition from MOTHERTOMB which has me excited to hear more from their upcoming debut album in 2026. Excellent and Highly Recommended." Michael D'Amato of Playgroundz Rocks called the single: "Dark, immersive, and heavy as hell... a statement. By the end, you're left wanting more, and you know whatever comes next is going to hit just as hard." Spanish publication La Habitación 235 praised the band's occult atmosphere, writing: "One of the bands that could emerge as a new revelation in the coming years." The follow-up single "Mountain Hag" continued the momentum, with Outlaws of the Sun calling it: "Nothing short of a revelation with Mothertomb continuing their progression in perhaps becoming one of the best upcoming acts the underground scene currently needs right now." The band's music has also received support from respected underground outlets including Doomed Nation, Progressive Rock Journal, Weedian, Stoner World Blog, Female Fronted Power, Monuments in Ruin, La Capsule Stoner, TRAIL of SMOKE, Hour of the Riff, and Sunday's Heavy Tunes, establishing Mothertomb as one of doom metal's most promising new voices. Recorded at Death Box Records in Charlevoix, Michigan, Dying to Live was produced by Alton Minor alongside the band, with mixing and mastering handled by Minor. Every aspect of the project reflects the group's fiercely independent DIY philosophy, from the songwriting and production to the striking artwork illustrated and designed by vocalist Alice Gawlinski.
