FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KILLERWITCH, ST. UNHOLYNESS, POWERHOUSE, THORNDALE, WITCHER And TRAITOR Charge Into Legacy Magazine Alongside 1914 Metal Devastation PR is celebrating a serious milestone as six of its artists land features and reviews in the newest issue of Legacy Magazine, the same issue with 1914 dominating the cover. For independent and underground metal, this is the kind of spotlight that proves the scene is still pushing forward with power, grit, and no interest in playing it safe. KILLERWITCHMalta’s heavy and power metal thunder squad hit Legacy with their second album Palace Of The Dragons and walked away with a perfect ten point score. The magazine called it a thunderclap packed with huge melodies and a smokey atmosphere that shows the band finally taking off. Silent Angel and Metellica were singled out as prime examples of the band’s fire. Their interview digs deeper into the darker and more direct direction of the new material, with the seven minute epic The Alchemist standing tall. KILLERWITCH is now gearing up for a European tour in 2024. ST. UNHOLYNESSChristina Earlymorn’s one woman force of nature slammed Legacy with a twelve point review for her debut full length Through High Holy Haze. The album blends Doom, Stoner, Black Metal venom, HM 2 fury, and raw Blues soul into a hybrid that impressed Legacy for its detail and fearless execution. The interview explores Christina’s journey from Metallica inspired beginnings to the creation of a sound that is grim, groovy, personal, and fully her own. Every instrument. Every idea. Every scream. All hers. POWERHOUSESacramento thrash unit Powerhouse delivered American Rebel and Legacy responded with eleven points. Six tracks. Thirty three minutes. No wasted space. The review praises the massive riffs, pounding drums, and a psychedelic edge that gives their old school thrash roots a modern twist. Their interview opens up about the pandemic frustrations that shaped the record and the idea of standing strong with a lone wolf mentality. Influences like Iron Maiden, UFO, and Slayer help shape a sound that still feels fresh. THORNDALELegacy sat down with Thorndale for a feature on their new album Spiritual Chains. With a refreshed lineup, the band shifted from the technical density of their older work to stronger melodies, simpler structures, and riffs built to last. The title track Twenty Thousand Souls anchors the theme of mental and spiritual chains. The band keeps a democratic approach to songwriting and is already working on the next album titled The Stalemate. Their sound honors the old ways while keeping an eye on the future. WITCHERHungary’s melancholic black metal duo returned with their fourth album Lélekharang. Legacy describes the sound as bombastic, melodic, and rooted in classic black metal while painting the atmosphere with symphonic influence. Themes of sorrow and descent into a deeper world guide the music. The duo keeps everything DIY from instrumentation to vocals to production. Hungarian lyrics reinforce the atmosphere and carry the emotional weight of the concept. TRAITORRounding out the wins, TRAITOR was covered in Legacy’s feature celebrating twenty years of the Neuborn Open Air Festival in Wörrstadt. The festival has grown from a small gathering into a trusted stage for major underground talent. Legacy highlights the longtime relationship between TRAITOR and the festival, noting the band’s reliability, quality gear, and fierce performances. Their style pulls from speed, blackened aggression, and the classic black death sound of the nineties. TRAITOR stands out as a relentless and traditional force that always delivers. A Strong Statement For The UndergroundLanding multiple artists in a respected publication like Legacy is more than a bragging right. It shows the underground is stacked with talent, individuality, and the kind of dedication that keeps metal alive across borders and generations. Metal Devastation PR is proud to support bands that work hard, stay authentic, and refuse to water down their vision. Go check it out here: https://www.legacy.de/ Wanna get featured in magazines?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Death Reigns: From Underground to Top 5 on Thunderflix — Metal Wins! Some stories are too loud to ignore. Death Reigns, the groundbreaking documentary about the underground metal scene of the American Bible Belt, has just smashed into the Top 5 most-streamed films on Thunderflix for November, right alongside legends like Helloween, Epica, Moonspell, and Megadeth. At the heart of the film are radio hosts Raven Moonla and Zach Moonshine, two relentless metalheads on a mission to build something real in a place that wants it buried. Their goal: organize the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest, a grassroots festival built entirely on passion, community, and zero industry backing. As the festival grew louder, pushback intensified. Far-right religious activists tried to shut it down, sparking a tense battle between outsiders fighting to create space and forces determined to erase them. Death Reigns goes far beyond the music. It captures the exhaustion, triumphs, threats, late-night planning, and unwavering resilience of a culture that refuses to die. This is a raw, personal portrait of what happens when metal becomes more than entertainment — when it becomes identity, rebellion, and survival. Jackson, TN, you’re killing it! Huge shoutout to Randall Holt Kendrick and everyone who made this possible. Thank you for the insane support! Critics are calling it one of the most important underground metal documentaries in years.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KING HEAVY Rise Once More with Atlantic Reborn — Out December 12, 2025 on Witches Brew Records Chilean Epic Doom torchbearers KING HEAVY are gearing up to drop a release that hits like a cathedral bell in a storm. Their new CD, Atlantic Reborn, arrives December 12 on Witches Brew Records, and it’s a record loaded with history, heart, and some serious low-end thunder. This one isn’t just another chapter in the band’s story. It’s a resurrection. KING HEAVY cracked open their deep vault of unreleased material to bring fans three final recordings featuring their late vocalist Luce, who passed in 2022. Two full tracks and an instrumental stand tall at the front of the album, keeping his voice and presence alive the way doom metal has always honored its fallen: loud, proud, and honest. From there, Atlantic Reborn powers into three classic cuts from the band’s earlier era, reminding listeners exactly why KING HEAVY carved out their place in the global doom scene. Capping it all off is a raw, thundering bonus rehearsal version of “The Origin Of The Witch Hunt,” giving fans a 47-minute journey straight into the eye of their epic, monolithic sound. This release is everything the genre demands. Slow. Massive. Reverent. And built from the iron backbone of traditional doom. Fans of Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus, and the old-school spirit that shaped the style will feel right at home. Atlantic Reborn stands as both a tribute and a triumph. KING HEAVY aren’t just revisiting their past—they’re honoring it. And they’re doing it the way doom was meant to be done. You can stream and order the album here: https://witchesbrewthrashes.bandcamp.com/album/atlantic-reborn Atlantic Reborn drops December 12, 2025 on Witches Brew Records.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAXILLA Signs with Witches Brew and Unleashes Debut Album “Anatomy: She” — Out Now MAXILLA is stepping out swinging this year, officially signing with Witches Brew and dropping her debut full-length “Anatomy: She” — an emotionally charged blast of heavy metal grit and hard rock attitude, available now at:https://witchesbrewthrashes.bandcamp.com/album/anatomy-she Originating in the New York tri-state area and now based in Ohio, MAXILLA was founded in 2018 by vocalist and guitarist Haley Cronin. She started classical vocal training at age 7, later expanding into guitar during high school under the guidance of Rob Thorne from Sacred Oath. That background of discipline and fire fuels “Anatomy: She,” a record built on truth, emotion, and a sharp edge. The album draws blood from influences old and new — Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Black Sabbath on one side, Halestorm and Paramore on the other. Haley’s vocals hit with weight and attitude, landing right in that sweet zone where melody meets muscle. Lyrically, the album cuts into themes of inequality, identity, and the battles women still face, delivering a powerful and refreshing perspective. Packed with riffs, hooks, and honesty, “Anatomy: She” bridges the worlds of heavy metal and hard rock, making it a strong recommendation for fans who want emotion with their volume. MAXILLA has already stirred the water with her single “My Creatures” — produced and mixed by Rob “Thorne” Volpintesta and mastered by Dietrich Schoenemann. The album takes that energy and cranks it even higher. This is only the beginning, and MAXILLA isn’t exactly shy about making noise.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  Friday Dies Unleashes Thrash Attack on the East Coast with "Protect Your Temple" Tour Wisconsin, USA – Friday Dies, the legendary heavy metal thrash unit that defined the underground scene in the late '80s and '90s, is officially hitting the road in support of the re-release of their iconic track, "Protect Your Temple." This East Coast run of dates marks the band's powerful live return, showcasing the raw energy and complex song structures that cemented their cult status. The re-released single, off their legendary full-length album Return of the Witch (originally 1995), has brought the band's classic sound—forged in the spirit of titans like Pantera, Megadeth, and Coroner—back to the forefront. Now, both old-school metalheads and a new generation of listeners will have the chance to experience their blistering mix of thrash and heavy metal live. Tour Dates Announced: The Road to Metal Revival Friday Dies is ready to melt faces with their gritty, hardcore edge and a setlist featuring both classic tracks and a preview of their new material, currently being recorded and set for professional mixing and mastering at TRAX 52 Studios. Their upcoming dates are: 2/4: Cosmo Joe's Atomic Lounge - 121 N. Ludlow St., Dayton, OH 2/5: Planet of the Tapes - 640 Barrett Ave., Louisville, KY 2/6: Date to be Announced Soon 2/7: Reverb Room - 1758 Watson Blvd., Warner Robins, GA "The energy we felt coming back together to promote 'Protect Your Temple' was insane, and it's translated directly into this tour," says Mark Friday. "We’re ready to deliver the classic thrash sound our fans remember and prove that Friday Dies has risen again like a phoenix from the ashes, stronger and more furious than ever before." The band's revival was sparked after Mark Friday's son discovered a box of old CDs, igniting the push to promote this classic music and set the stage for new material. This tour is the first step in unveiling fresh material that embodies the same strength and inspiration from the past, ensuring that Friday Dies continues to make their mark on the metal legacy.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Lightlorn Announces Second Album The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides, Featuring Cosmic Black Metal Mastery Gothenburg, Sweden – Lightlorn, the rising force in cosmic and atmospheric black metal, is set to unleash their highly anticipated second full-length album, The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides, on Friday, March 6, 2026, via their newly established label, Rogue Planet Records. Leading the charge is the explosive single “Emergent Chaos,” a harbinger of the album’s intense yet expansive soundscapes. Formed in Gothenburg in 2021, Lightlorn made waves with their self-released debut EP These Nameless Worlds (2022), earning praise from Metal Hammer, No Clean Singing, and Invisible Oranges. The attention garnered led to a deal with Black Lion Records, which released their acclaimed debut album At One with the Night Sky in 2023. Following a line-up change in 2024, the band released singles Noctalgia and To Dream of Distant Stars, showcasing the revitalized three-piece lineup of Renwar (vocals, guitar), Antagonist (drums), and Robert (bass). With The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides, Lightlorn continues to explore the vastness of the cosmos through the lens of human emotion. From the blistering opener “Emergent Chaos” to the introspective closer “Eternal Recurrence of the Same,” the album balances aggression and serenity, light and dark, crafting a journey that is as expansive as the universe itself. The fourth track, “I Carry Galaxies,” features haunting clean vocals by Flo V. Schwarz of Pyogenesis, adding another layer of depth to the record. “The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides is an extension of the Lightlorn sound that we’ve become known for, but it has evolved, and we have explored new avenues in terms of songwriting,” says Renwar. “Working as a three-piece has been conducive to our creativity, and we are very proud of the songs and the album as a whole. Overall, it’s heavier than the debut, with more varied songs, but it’s still unmistakably Lightlorn. After much internal discussion, we decided to release this album under the banner of Rogue Planet Records, which is our own, newly created record label.” Recorded at Svart Studio with engineer Dennis Fransson and mixed/mastered by David Mauritzon at Soundtornado, the album’s artwork was crafted by Nikhil Kumar, perfectly capturing the otherworldly atmosphere that defines Lightlorn’s music. Fans of Mesarthim, Labyrinthus Stellarum, and Vorga will find a compelling evolution of cosmic black metal here, and newcomers will be drawn into a universe that is both expansive and emotionally resonant. The Ebb and Flow of Galactic Tides will be available worldwide on March 6, 2026.
