FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEPTHISIS UNLEASHES HISTORY DIES — FULL ALBUM OUT NOWA fearless, fire-soaked journey into endings, transformation, and raw emotional rebirth Listen everywhere:Bandcamp: https://nepthisis.bandcamp.com/album/history-diesDistrokid: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/nepthisis/history-dies November 21, 2025 — Albuquerque, NM — NEPTHISIS steps out of the shadows and into the fire with the full release of History Dies, her most ambitious and emotionally charged album yet. After the lead single “All is Fair” lit the fuse earlier this month, the complete record is officially out now on all major platforms. This marks her second full-length release in just two months, a move most artists wouldn’t dare. NEPTHISIS pushes forward anyway, tapping directly into the themes that fuel her work: endings, devastation, rebirth, and the strange beauty that comes after everything falls apart. Blending dark pop with art rock and sweeping cinematic sound design, History Dies delivers a listening experience that cuts deep and lingers. It’s built for anyone who wants more than surface-level sound. This one stares straight into the fire. NEPTHISIS explains the heart of the record: “History Dies is about endings — not just of the world, but of the battles we fight inside ourselves. It’s the sound of collapse, reckoning, and transformation.” At the center of the album lies an intimate piece of poetry, a guiding spark for the emotional core of the project: Every flame was once a version of her — soft, reaching, pleading not to fade.She turns her back to the smoke, letting it linger, letting it teach her.Her past selves glow softly behind her, illuminating the steps she takes alone...She does not look back, and she does not walk away from love.Even in the letting go, she is whole.The air hums with what she’s lost — and still, she moves forward, illuminated by her own becoming. With History Dies, NEPTHISIS once again proves she’s carving her own lane in the dark pop world. Emotion, artistry, and rebellion crash together here, forging a sound that refuses to be ignored.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE TROUSERS UNLEASH NEW ALBUM “NECESSARY EVIL”Budapest’s Hard-Rock Heavy Hitters Are Back With Their Most Explosive Record Yet — Out Now Listen here: https://wmmd.lnk.to/thetrousers_necessaryevil Budapest, Hungary – Europe’s riff-slinging troublemakers The Trousers have returned with their brand new full-length album “Necessary Evil,” out now via Music Fashion Records and ready to hit every platform like a runaway freight train. Built on the band’s no-nonsense blend of garage rock grit, 70s hard rock muscle, and the swaggering darkness of 90s and 2000s alt-rock, “Necessary Evil” delivers exactly what longtime fans expect — big riffs, sharp hooks, and enough attitude to level a barroom. If you dig AC/DC, The Hellacopters, Thin Lizzy, Motorhead, or Queens of the Stone Age, this record is going to feel like home. Produced by Zoltán Kőváry and Zoltán Cs. Szabó, with Szabó once again behind the mix and master, the new album keeps the band’s classic spirit intact while pushing their sound into even tougher, tighter territory. The Trousers have been firing on all cylinders since their 2022 release “Animal Gun,” which pulled in 7–10/10 reviews across Europe, and “Necessary Evil” looks ready to raise that bar again. Formed in 2008, The Trousers have stacked up six albums and several EPs, including fan favorites like the 2013 LP “Freakbeat,” which featured a guest solo from Nicke Andersson of The Hellacopters. Their recent single “Second Hand Suicide” earned high praise abroad, being hailed as “a real rock classic” by Canadian radio. A seasoned touring machine, the band has conquered stages throughout Denmark, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Czechia, Slovakia, Romania, and Serbia. Along the way they’ve shared the spotlight with giants like Dirty Honey, Black Stone Cherry, Tygers of Pan Tang, MC5, Peter Pan Speedrock, Peter Hook & The Light, The Blue Van, Barb Wire Dolls, and more. “Necessary Evil” is out now and streaming worldwide.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACERBIC UNLEASHES DEATH-THRASH MASTERPIECE “ABHORRENT ATROCITIES AGAINST ALL HUMANKIND” – OUT FEBRUARY 2026 Olympia, WA – ACERBIC, the searing death-thrash powerhouse from Olympia, Washington, announces the release of their debut EP, Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind, set to strike in February 2026. Fusing relentless aggression with melodic darkness, ACERBIC delivers six devastating tracks designed to thrill fans of Carcass, At The Gates, and Power Trip. Founded in 2013 as a solo project by guitarist Chris Thompson, ACERBIC has evolved over the years into a full-force band featuring Gabriel Glandon on vocals, Xander Provencher on bass, Chris Hannan on drums, and Thompson himself on guitar. With influences ranging from old-school death metal to melodic intricacy, ACERBIC’s sound blends vicious riffs, menacing grooves, and haunting melodies into a dark, visceral atmosphere. The band first grabbed attention with their 2023 demo, featuring session drums by Dirk Verbeuren and scorching leads from Kragen Lum on “Despondent.” The demo’s international recognition, including features in Slowly We Rot magazine (Romania) and Guts N Blood Records’ Rotten Pages #8 compilation (Peru), set the stage for a full band lineup and the creation of their debut EP. Recorded at Elektriccity Recording in Portland, Oregon (August 2025) and mixed/mastered by Charlie Koryn (October–November 2025), Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind showcases ACERBIC at their most brutal and precise. From Gabriel’s guttural growls and banshee highs to Chris Hannan’s punishing drumming and Xander Provencher’s 6-string bass melodies complementing Thompson’s guitar riffs, this EP is a front-to-back assault that will satisfy fans with a taste for extreme, melody-laden metal. The lead single, “Shallow Grave,” is accompanied by a striking music video produced by J. Donovan Malley, while the EP’s hand-painted cover art by Matt Stikker visually captures the EP’s dark intensity. Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind will be available in limited CD and cassette editions via ACERBIC’s Bandcamp page. Hailing from Olympia’s metal scene, ACERBIC continues to haunt stages along 4th Avenue, bringing uncompromising death-thrash to fans near and far.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Chris Maragoth Dives Into Darkness with New EP “Depths of Despair” — Out Now 🎧 Listen and stream here: https://album.link/DoD Dessau, Germany — November 21, 2025 — German solo artist Chris Maragoth unveils his haunting new EP Depths of Despair, out now. The five-track release takes listeners on a journey through sorrow, reflection, and fragile beauty, blending Gothic and Symphonic Metal into a soundscape that is at once cinematic and deeply personal. Featuring guest performances by Cherry Summerfield and Sanya Smileska, the EP expands Maragoth’s signature fusion of metal and classical instrumentation. From Sanya’s haunting viola on Hidden Signs of Sadness and Looming Evil to Cherry’s soaring vocals on the title track, each song explores the quiet pain beneath the surface and the catharsis that emerges from it. The EP’s Baroque-inspired artwork mirrors the music’s emotional tone, depicting introspection, decay, and grace — a visual echo of the themes that thread through the record. Staying true to his creative ethos, Maragoth has crafted every note, arrangement, and visual entirely by human hands, consciously avoiding artificial intelligence in the process. Two singles, History on Repeat (May 2025) and Hidden Signs of Sadness (October 2025), have already given fans a glimpse into the EP’s emotional core. Combined with three new compositions, Depths of Despair forms a cohesive narrative of loss, endurance, and fragile hope. For fans of Apocalyptica, Empyrium, My Dying Bride, and Arch Enemy, Depths of Despair offers a space to pause, reflect, and experience the haunting beauty where melancholy meets intensity.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KNOW Unleash “VAULTLORD” A Ferocious Dive Into Power, Isolation, And The End Of The World New Single Out Now Worldwide Sydney based metal project KNOW also known as thebandknow, has released its crushing new single “VAULTLORD”, ahead of the official release date of November 7th, 2025. Mixing the muscle of Groove Metal with the emotional weight and darkness of Melodic Death Metal, the track is tailor made for fans of Gojira, Sepultura, and Opeth. “‘VAULTLORD’ is a powerful crossover of Groove Metal and Melodic Death Metal.” The band’s own take says it all. The single digs into the bleak existence of a brutal, self centered survivor wandering a post apocalyptic world of his own making. Bound to a deathless fate, trapped by his own ego, he dreams of restoring the world yet fails to see he still craves power more than freedom. It’s a grim warning wrapped in riffsthe birth of the filthy, insensible oligarchVAULTLORD. KNOW’s EvolutionKNOW is the brainchild of Santosh Nanduri, a DIY multi instrumentalist who has shaped the project into a unique force blending Thrash, Groove, and Melodic Death Metal. His work pulls from deep human emotion, societal imbalance, and the chaos of modern living. There’s no pretense herejust raw, honest expression delivered through every instrument and every word. The project has evolved sharply over the years. KNOW’s debut album Freedom explored Industrial, Nu Metal, and Electronic elements in a collaborative format. But since 2022, after lineup changes, Santosh forged a strict, heavier Metal direction that clicked with listeners. Singles like “Demoncracy” and “Blissful Spirit” marked the shift, gaining momentum and defining the band’s core strength.“VAULTLORD” continues that rise, pushing the sound further, harder, and deeper.

Their sound channels the haze, the heaviness, and the hooks into something that doesn’t just sit in your earsit gets under your skin. As the band puts it, music is the cornerstone of their existence, and with this release they aim to etch their energy permanently into the minds of anyone willing to take the trip.
