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.

Where Have All The Metalheads Gone? Rick Beato Explains Why Heavy Metal Is Losing Its Edge in the Streaming Era Over the last 15 years, metal has quietly been losing its dominance. You might feel it at shows, in streaming stats, or even scrolling through your playlist—today’s metal scene doesn’t pack the same punch it once did. Music educator and YouTube legend Rick Beato recently tackled this very topic in his video, “Where Have All The Metalheads Gone?”, breaking down the staggering numbers and cultural shifts behind modern metal. Streaming Numbers Show the Decline Beato starts with contemporary metal bands, comparing their monthly Spotify listeners: Bring Me The Horizon – 13.6M Ghost – 9.8M Pierce The Veil – 9.7M Falling in Reverse – 8.7M Bad Omens – 7M Five Finger Death Punch – 6.7M Even the biggest current metal acts barely reach the listener counts of their predecessors. By contrast, heritage metal bands—bands that have been dominating since the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s—still command massive audiences: Linkin Park – 53.7M Metallica – 31.4M System of a Down – 24.8M Limp Bizkit – 21.9M Clearly, the giants of the past still tower over today’s stars. Beato also highlights that there are only 16 metal songs with over a billion streams, and most are from legacy acts like Linkin Park, Metallica, and System of a Down. Why Modern Metal Isn’t Connecting So why is metal struggling to resonate with younger listeners? Beato pinpoints a cultural shift: kids today aren’t engaging with music the way they used to. It’s not that heavy music isn’t appealing—they just don’t have the same lifestyle, environment, or habits that historically bred metalheads. He recalls the words of legendary producer Terry Date, who in 2000 predicted cycles in heavy music: it rises, fades, and returns, mostly capturing 15-25-year-old males. Beato argues that contemporary youth are distracted by social media, fitness, gaming, and streaming culture, not the communal, raw energy of band practice, live shows, and rebellious teenhood. A key point Beato stresses: connection comes through playing music, not just listening. In decades past, kids picked up guitars, slammed drums, and made noise in basements or garages. That DIY culture bred a visceral bond with metal that streaming alone can’t replicate. The Lost Vibe and Lifestyle Beato and his guest Mike also discuss how the “vibe” of metal—its freedom, rebellion, and edge—is missing today. They reminisce about shows like Woodstock ’99, where teenagers could truly immerse themselves without phones or parents policing every move. That raw, unfiltered experience is largely gone, replaced by curated online lives and headphones-in isolation. Beato concludes that metal hasn’t disappeared—it’s just smaller, more fragmented, and less culturally dominant. The legends of the past maintain huge audiences, while modern bands carve out niches without the same broad impact. But he leaves the door open for a resurgence, suggesting that as long as there are passionate teens craving aggressive music, metal’s fire can reignite. Key Takeaways Contemporary metal bands struggle to match the streaming numbers of legacy acts. Heritage metal acts like Metallica and Linkin Park remain dominant, even decades later. Youth culture has shifted away from playing instruments and attending shows. Streaming and social media can’t replace the lifestyle and rebellion that historically fueled metal. Rick Beato’s breakdown is a wake-up call for metal fans: the scene is smaller, but it’s not dead. For metalheads, it’s a reminder that the community, the vibe, and the music itself are what keep heavy music alive—and that revival may be closer than you think.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SCREAMER MAGAZINE SPOTLIGHTS POWERHOUSE AND THEIR NEW ALBUM “AMERICAN REBEL” — OUT NOW VIA WITCHES BREW RECORDS Metal Devastation PR is fired up to announce that the legendary Screamer Magazine has officially featured POWERHOUSE and their explosive new album American Rebel. The rock world’s been waiting, and POWERHOUSE just dropped a record that doesn’t tiptoe around a thing. It kicks the door in and dares anyone to stand in the way. Screamer Magazine lays it out plain: “The wait is over. POWERHOUSE has unleashed their explosive sophomore album ‘American Rebel,’ a six track, adrenaline fueled assault that takes a fearless swing at modern society and the fading ideal of the American Dream.” Pulling all the strength of a stadium sized rock show into one fierce package, American Rebel hits with raw conviction. Screamer highlights the band’s sharp blend of classic 70s and 80s rock muscle mixed with a modern cultural edge that refuses to sugarcoat a single word. This album isn’t here to comfort anyone. It’s here to wake them up. Tracks like Heartbeat, Bring the Reign, and the title track American Rebel show exactly why POWERHOUSE has been earning the reputation they have. Heavy riffs, soaring vocals, and a rhythm section that never lets up. Screamer Magazine puts it best — this isn’t a revival, it’s a rebellion against the watered down and the overproduced. The band sums it up with one line that says everything, “‘American Rebel’ isn’t just an album, it’s a statement. It’s about standing tall, facing the world head on, and remembering what freedom and music used to mean.” American Rebel is available now on CD, digital, and limited edition vinyl in both Black and Splatter variants through Witches Brew Records. Anyone looking for real rock with real guts needs to give this one a spin.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REAPING ASMODEIA ROARS INTO YEAR FIFTEEN WITH A CRUSHING CHIMAIRA COVER, “NOTHING REMAINS,” OUT DECEMBER 5, 2025 Minneapolis tech-death bruisers Reaping Asmodeia are closing out their fifteenth year with a full-throttle tribute to one of the cornerstones of the early 2000s metal surge. Their new single, a blistering reimagining of Chimaira’s “Nothing Remains,” drops December 5, 2025 through Blood Blast Distribution, with physical formats handled by Cardinal Sun Records. The band didn’t pick this one by accident. Drummer Daniel Koppy lays it out straight.“The 20th anniversary of Chimaira's self-titled album just recently passed. They were a pinnacle band in the NWOAHM movement in the early and mid 2000s. We were heavily influenced by their sound and stage presence quite a bit in our formative years as musicians. We felt that it would be a lot of fun to put our spin on this classic riff heavy track by them. Twenty years later, ‘Nothing Remains’ is still as heavy as it ever was. We hope that we did it justice, while putting a little bit of our feel into the track.” The release is the final piece in a year-long run of singles that leads directly into a major milestone. December marks Reaping Asmodeia’s 15 year anniversary, celebrated with their new EP “Metempsychosis”, landing December 12 via Cardinal Sun Records. The EP includes “Shattered Leviathan,” “Sanctuary of Poison,” their new take on “Nothing Remains,” plus instrumental versions of all three tracks. Vinyl collectors can grab an exclusive pressing and a throwback merch line now at reapingasmodeia.limitedrun.com. To honor the moment properly, the band will hit the stage for their official 15 Year Anniversary Show on Friday, December 12 at Amsterdam Bar & Hall in Saint Paul, MN, joined by Maul, Micawber, The Enmity Offensive, and Rahvn. Before that, fans can catch the premiere of a short documentary chronicling their fifteen year history at a free viewing event on December 9 at Klash Drums in Columbia Heights, MN. This chapter also marks a powerful shift in the band’s lineup. 2024 brought the return of original bassist Jakub Kingery along with the arrival of new vocalist Eric Keyes, injecting fresh energy and widening the creative palette. Koppy adds, “We are thrilled to welcome Eric Keyes as the vocalist of Reaping Asmodeia. Eric has been a longtime friend and a staple in the Minnesota metal scene. For those of you who have seen us on the road this year, you can tell the vibe on stage between us is exactly where it should be. Having Jakub back with us, and now Eric, has brought an amazing collective feeling of creativity and enthusiasm towards our future as a band.” Once again steering their own ship, Reaping Asmodeia self-produced “Nothing Remains,” with guitar engineering by Alex Kelly, bass engineering by Jakub Kingery, vocals produced and engineered by Koppy, and drums engineered by Adam Tucker of SignatureTone Recording. Tucker handled mixing and mastering for both the digital and vinyl formats. “Nothing Remains” hits all platforms December 5.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VELVETCUT HONORS THE 90s GRUNGE ERA WITH THE GREAT CHAMELEON (NEW SKIN)REVITALIZED ALBUM OUT NOW VIA ROCKHOPPER MUSIC https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/velvetcut/the-great-chameleon-new-skin Finnish alt rockers Velvetcut have officially dropped The Great Chameleon (New Skin), a fully reimagined edition of their 2025 comeback album The Great Chameleon. This version digs straight into the heart of the 90s grunge era, capturing the raw spirit of the time while pushing the band’s evolution forward. New Skin expands the original with two previously unreleased tracks that spotlight the band’s range and roots • Carnival Of Lust – A heavy grooved, hypnotic grunge crawler that even features spoon playing as a sly nod to Soundgarden’s “Spoonman”• Rabbit Holes – A mellow, atmospheric trip into Velvetcut’s introspective side, showing their talent for tone and texture The album also includes three songs written during Velvetcut’s early 90s sessions. One highlight is Run Rabbit Run, a newly recorded version of the cult classic originally performed by Finnish rock legends Smack. Smack made waves across the late 80s West Coast underground and caught the attention of Kurt Cobain himself. Nirvana even covered “Run Rabbit Run” live back in the day, with rare footage still floating around for the diehards. Velvetcut built their name on a blend of grunge grit, melodic weight and atmospheric depth. After three albums and a long break beginning in 2012, they made their return in 2025 with The Great Chameleon. Now New Skin gives that record a second life, honoring where they came from while sharpening who they are today. The album was engineered and mixed by Topi Wiio and mastered by Svante Forsback at Chartmakers. Velvetcut is managed by Rockhopper Agency and released through Rockhopper Music. The Great Chameleon (New Skin) is out now on all major digital platforms. https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/velvetcut/the-great-chameleon-new-skin Press and interviewszach@metaldevastationradio.com Connect with the band: https://www.facebook.com/velvetcut/https://www.instagram.com/velvetcutband/https://www.youtube.com/velvetcutofficial/https://open.spotify.com/artist/5I4dHTktG9F9eYt3I9kVz4 Contact: tomi@rockhopper.fi Less
