WE ALL RISE Talks Debut Album, Working With BIOHAZARD’s BILLY GRAZIADEI, And EVAN SEINFELD Collaboration On “Crown” Rising groove metal outfit We All Rise recently appeared on The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio, where they discussed their debut album The Beginning of the End, working with Billy Graziadei, and how their collaboration with Evan Seinfeld unexpectedly played a role in reigniting BIOHAZARD. Speaking about the band’s formation, members explained that the project came together after years of experience in the scene. “We’ve all been playing music our whole lives… working on different projects… and it just felt like it was time to put it out there.” The band also opened up about the challenge of finding a name that truly represented their message. “It was an uphill battle… a couple months just throwing names back and forth.” The name ultimately came from a personal moment. “My wife gave me a card… and one line said, ‘If one rises, we all rise.’ I looked at it and said, that’s it.” They added that the abbreviation carries its own weight. “When you shorten it down… it’s WAR.” “HE’S LIKE THE FIFTH MEMBER OF THE BAND” We All Rise credited Billy Graziadei with playing a major role in shaping both the album and the band itself. “We consider him the fifth member of the band.” Graziadei’s involvement went beyond production duties. “He would be the first one up, already working… even after 16 hours in the studio.” The band emphasized his mentorship and personal investment. “He helped develop the band… not just musically, but in life.” “THE FIRST TIME IN 15 YEARS” One of the biggest moments surrounding the album is the track “Crown,” which features Evan Seinfeld. According to the band, the collaboration had deeper implications than expected. “That was the first real contact Billy and Evan had in almost 15 years.” They revealed that the track marked the first time the two had worked together in over a decade. “It was the first time we heard them together in that long.” The band believes the collaboration helped spark BIOHAZARD’s reunion. “They inspired us… and we were able to inspire them again. Full circle.” “WE DIDN’T WANT PLUGINS. WE WANTED THAT REAL SOUND” We All Rise also detailed their decision to take a fully analog-style approach to recording the album. “If we fucked up, we redid the whole song.” The band used real amps, live drums, and avoided digital shortcuts. “We didn’t want plugins. We wanted that real sound.” They added that imperfections were part of the appeal. “It’s not a machine… it’s real. It’s emotions.” INFLUENCES AND SOUND Drawing influence from bands like Biohazard and the late ’90s groove metal and hardcore scene, We All Rise aim to bring that energy into a modern context. “I’m a big ’90s guy… that music stuck with me.” “UNITY” When asked to define the band’s message, the answer was direct. “If I could sum it up in one word… unity.” The band addressed the current state of division in the world and emphasized their goal of bringing people together. “There’s too much division right now.” At the same time, they aim to inspire perseverance. “Life is tough… but you keep fighting. Tomorrow’s another day.” LOOKING AHEAD With The Beginning of the End now available and tour plans underway, We All Rise are continuing to build momentum. The band also made it clear they are open to connecting with fans and media. “We answer everybody… we want to hear what people think.” We All Rise’s full interview on The Zach Moonshine Show is available now via Mixcloud.

A ferocious blend of 90s-inspired metal, hardcore grooves, and modern hard rock edge, the album announces the arrival of a band ready to leave an indelible mark on the scene. Formed from years of shared musical journeys, We All Rise unites four seasoned musicians with diverse backgrounds—Gery Grey (vocals), Choupah Brutality (drums), Joel Von Schlamauss (bass), and XIII (guitars)—into a powerful unit delivering shredding riffs, dynamic vocal textures, and hard-hitting grooves. Their sound, simultaneously nostalgic and forward-thinking, resonates with fans of Sepultura, Pantera, and Biohazard alike. During the album’s recording, a standout moment emerged when Billy Graziadei invited Evan Seinfeld to contribute vocals on the track Crown. This collaboration marked the first time the founding members of Biohazard had shared a track in over a decade, sparking a reunion of the original lineup now dominating stages worldwide. Produced by Graziadei himself and expertly mixed and mastered by Tue Madsen (Meshuggah, Suicide Silence), The Beginning of the End captures a band at the peak of creative synergy. The album is an emotional and sonic journey through collapse, resilience, and rebirth, exploring the end of the familiar and the hope that emerges on the other side. Golden Robot Records comments:"The Beginning of the End is the boldest, most cathartic statement from We All Rise yet. Towering riffs, haunting melodies, and raw lyrical storytelling combine to make an album that hits hard while leaving a lasting impression."

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SÖNUS Unleashes “Sisyphus Stomp” OUT NOW — A Relentless Anthem of Struggle and Defiance Release Date: April 24, 2026 Rising heavy metal force SÖNUS returns with “Sisyphus Stomp,” a crushing new single taken from their forthcoming full-length album Planes of Torment. Blending the raw punch of classic hard rock with the unrelenting weight of traditional heavy metal, “Sisyphus Stomp” channels the spirit of legends like AC/DC, Motörhead, and Judas Priest while pushing it into a modern, no-nonsense sonic attack. Recorded live in the studio, the track captures a band locked in, loud, and fully dialed in with zero polish holding it back. This is more than just a heavy anthem. “Sisyphus Stomp” hits like a rallying cry for anyone stuck in the grind. Drawing from ancient mythology, the song reflects the endless cycle of struggle in modern life, calling out burnout, inequality, political decay, and nonstop conflict. The message is simple and unshaken: the climb never ends, you just decide whether you keep pushing or fold. Following the success of their 2022 Doom Charts–topping release Usurper of the Universe, SÖNUS mastermind David Wachsman went through a stretch of personal and creative upheaval. What came out the other side was sharper, heavier, and more focused than ever. That evolution now drives Planes of Torment, an album built over years of persistence, pressure, and survival. The current lineup features: David Wachsman — Lead/Backing Vocals, Lead/Rhythm Guitars, Synths, Lyrics/Arrangements Dave Reno — Bass, Backing Vocals Colin Jaramillo — Drums, Backing Vocals Additional contributions include Mike Gorman on rhythm guitar and Will Harper on flute (featured on the album track “Scorpio”). Engineered and recorded live to preserve its raw energy, Planes of Torment was tracked by Adam Reed at Reed’s Recordings in Campbell, California. The album was mixed by Dave Reno at Fuzzy Wizard Studios and mastered by Matt “Mojo” Denton at Ragged Birds Music. “Sisyphus Stomp” is out now and serves as a direct hit from what is shaping up to be a defining heavy metal statement from a band doing it the old way: loud, honest, and relentless. Planes of Torment is coming. The climb has already started.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover) Video out now | Stream & presave available Presave and stream: https://www.submithub.com/link/sight-of-emptiness-break-stuff Stream: https://sightofemptiness.bandcamp.com/track/break-stuff Costa Rica’s long-running metal force Sight of Emptiness returns with a devastating new take on “Break Stuff” by Limp Bizkit, and this time the message cuts deeper than nostalgia. The video is out now, and it reframes a late 90s nu metal anthem as something far more personal, far more global, and far more human. Blending nu metal aggression with groove metal weight, Sight of Emptiness reshapes the track into something that carries both tribute and confrontation. Fans of Deftones, Korn, and Limp Bizkit will recognize the DNA, but the delivery feels sharpened by experience, geography, and lived pressure. Originally conceived as a passion project celebrating the golden era of heavy music, the release took on deeper emotional weight following the passing of Sam Rivers in 2025. What started as homage evolved into something more grounded, a reflection on impact, legacy, and survival through sound. Production, mixing, and mastering were handled by Thomas “Plec” Johansson at Bohus Studio in Sweden, bringing clarity and force to a track that balances raw attitude with modern precision. Sight of Emptiness is no newcomer. With over 20 years in the independent metal underground, five albums, and global touring history across Iceland, Japan, and beyond, the band has shared stages with Testament, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir, Dark Tranquillity, and Machine Head. They have also performed at Bloodstock Open Air and became the first Central American band to appear on the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise. At home, they have supported icons including Black Sabbath, Slayer, Megadeth, and Amon Amarth. About the video “Break Stuff” is not a nostalgia exercise. It is a reckoning. The video follows a young Latin American boy pushed to his breaking point, not by a single event, but by the accumulated weight of systems built without his consent. From rigid institutions to invisible hierarchies, his rage is not chaos, it is the inevitable result of pressure with no exit. When he finally watches the symbols of his expected future burn, he does not feel guilt. He feels relief. He runs. He finds a door. On the other side, the band is there mid ritual, as if they had always been waiting. Directed and produced by XENN (Gavriel Arias), the visual bridges raw live performance and cinematic storytelling. Shot on location in San José, Costa Rica, it builds a grounded surrealism that mirrors the song’s emotional structure: pressure, release, and the eerie silence that follows. This is not just a cover. It is a reclamation of the genre as a survival language. This is nu metal not as an import, but as a mirror. The band shares: “Seeing Limp Bizkit play our home soil confirmed that recording this track was the right move. The emotions from that live experience reaffirmed the power of these anthems today. It feels fresher and more necessary than ever. It is about catharsis. You get that release through music without actually having to act it out. Why did we do it? Why not? It is a necessary purge.” Far from imitation, this version of “Break Stuff” channels chaos into meaning, and turns pressure into release.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MY DARK FATE UNLEASH “FRIGHTENED TO THE CORE” — OUT NOW! Stream/Download: https://mydarkfate.bandcamp.com/ Austria’s groove metal wrecking crew My Dark Fate return swinging hard with their brand new single, “Frightened To The Core,” released April 17, 2026. Trading covers for conviction, the band delivers an original track that cuts straight into the nerve of modern anxiety, fear culture, and digital-era manipulation. Built on punishing seven-string riffs, thunderous rhythms, and a dynamic dual-vocal attack, “Frightened To The Core” blends groove metal weight with melodic death metal precision and a bleak, doom-laced atmosphere. The result is a track that feels both massive and uncomfortably real, like it’s staring straight back at the world we’re all stuck in. Lyrically, the song pulls no punches. It dives into themes of societal control, propaganda, and psychological overload, painting a grim picture of a world gripped by fear and misinformation. Lines like “Caught inside our poisoned minds / Thoughts of fear won’t disappear” hit with the kind of truth that sticks in your ribs. About the Band Founded by guitarist and songwriter Andreas Maierhofer of Lost Dreams, My Dark Fate has steadily carved out their identity with a crushing blend of groove metal and melodic death metal. After a full reboot in 2025, the band emerged sharper and heavier than ever, now featuring Marina (vocals, bass), Stefan (growls, guitar), Christian (drums), and Andreas (guitar, songwriting, production). With a sound rooted in decades of Austrian metal experience, My Dark Fate delivers a cinematic, emotionally charged assault that will resonate with fans of Lacuna Coil, Jinjer, In Flames, Amaranthe, and Arch Enemy. Following earlier releases like the haunting 2025 ballad “Whiteout” and their dark reimagining of “Paint It, Black,” “Frightened To The Core” marks a defining step forward, proving the band isn’t just experimenting with darkness anymore, they’re owning it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASERELEASE DATE: June 6th via CDN RECORDS MENTAL ANGUISH Unleashes Brutal Grindcore Assault From the Buffalo and Niagara Underground Emerging from the gritty borderlands of Niagara Falls and Buffalo, New York, Mental Anguish arrives with a no-frills, full-force grindcore attack forged from decades of underground experience and a deep refusal to dial anything down. While the name is new to the modern extreme metal landscape, the people behind it are anything but. The members have carved their reputations in the trenches of Western New York’s underground, cutting teeth in bands like Immortal Terror, Grotesque Infection, Eternal Torment, Arsenic Disposal, and Anthropic. All that history gets funneled straight into something faster, heavier, and more merciless. Mental Anguish operates with a simple lineup and a simple mission: destroy everything in their path. Chris Hull delivers guttural, barked vocals that hit like a warning siren in a collapsing factory. Carl Pace carves out razor-edged guitar riffs with surgical precision. Russ Martin holds down the low end with thick, crushing bass lines. Jim Santillo turns the kit into a war zone, hammering out relentless blast beats and chaotic rhythms with zero restraint. This is grindcore in its purest form. Fast. Ugly. Efficient. No wasted motion. In 2024, the band introduced themselves with their debut release Demo ’24, recorded at Watchmen Studios. Across five tracks including “Construct of Fear,” “Perilous Grasp,” and “Whore of Babylon,” Mental Anguish laid down a statement of intent: songs that rarely stretch past two minutes but hit like they could level a block. It is raw, unfiltered extremity captured exactly as it should be, loud, abrasive, and unapologetic. What sets Mental Anguish apart is not just speed or heaviness, but the weight of where they come from. The Niagara and Buffalo underground has long been a breeding ground for DIY extremity, and this band carries that tradition forward without compromise. No trends. No polish. No dilution. Just impact. With Demo ’24 already making noise in underground circles, Mental Anguish is now poised for the next step, pushing deeper into the modern grindcore landscape while staying firmly rooted in the chaos that built them. Whether in cramped basement venues or spreading through underground networks worldwide, this is a band built to overwhelm. Western New York grind is alive, loud, and not asking permission. And Mental Anguish is leading the charge.

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.
