FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tanin'iver Unleash Savage New Album Save The Rest For The Wicked Adelaide, South Australia – Rising from the scorched underground of Adelaide, Tanin'iver have unleashed their blistering new album Save The Rest For The Wicked, released February 25, 2026 via Morning Star Heresy. Delivering a relentless fusion of blackened fury and death metal brutality, the record stands as a savage statement from one of Australia’s most uncompromising extreme metal acts. Forged in the unforgiving depths of the Australian underground, Tanin'iver have spent years sharpening their sound into a weapon of sonic devastation. Their music channels personal trauma, existential dread, and the decay of modern society into an unrelenting barrage of dark atmosphere, blistering riffs, and merciless intensity. With Save The Rest For The Wicked, the band pushes further into the abyss, crafting a record that is both punishing and deeply philosophical in its themes. “This new album is not born from the aftermath of destruction, but from its mastery,” the band explains. “It asserts control over the horrors of existence rather than simply wrestling with them.” The album’s title, Save The Rest For The Wicked, cuts like a double-edged blade. On one side it stands as an indictment of humanity’s ingrained darkness. On the other, it demands a final reckoning. The tone across the album moves from grim observation to outright declaration, cementing the release as one of the most ferocious statements to emerge from the Australian extreme metal underground in recent memory. Produced by acclaimed engineer Steve Lillywhite, the record captures Tanin'iver at their most vicious and refined, delivering a crushing wall of sound that fans of Mayhem, Belphegor, and Behemoth will find impossible to ignore. With its oppressive atmosphere, relentless aggression, and uncompromising vision, Save The Rest For The Wicked represents Australian metal at its most extreme.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Red Vinter Complete Recording of Crushing New Album Ghost In The Fog and Prepare to Level Sinkfest II St. Paul, MN – Doom and death metal force Red Vinter have officially wrapped recording sessions for their second full length album, Ghost In The Fog, at the legendary 14:59 Studios in Minneapolis, MN. Known for hosting punishing sessions from underground standouts such as Impaler, Thor, Plague of Stars, and Glutton for Punishment, the studio once again served as the perfect sonic war room for the band’s next chapter. The album was co-produced by Red Vinter vocalist and bassist Mike Bullock alongside Will Maravelas, the engineer behind the band’s acclaimed debut Lumbering Menace. The new record features eight pulverizing tracks that push the band’s already massive doom and death sound into darker and heavier territory. Among the most anticipated tracks are “Cryptic Site” and “The Cell Inside,” with “Cryptic Site” slated to emerge as the first single from Ghost In The Fog. The upcoming record continues Red Vinter’s signature blend of crushing riffs, slow burning atmosphere, and emotionally charged songwriting that has been steadily gaining attention across the underground metal scene. Momentum for the band has been building as tracks from Lumbering Menace continue to reach new audiences. Fan favorites “Ashes” and “Insurgent” have recently been featured on the Screamin’ Eman Underground Metal show on the legendary WXAX and have received additional airplay on KFAI, KMSU, and a growing number of online metal radio programs and podcasts. “With everything going on in Minneapolis lately, ‘Insurgent’ is more relevant now than ever,” says Bullock. “Meanwhile, the message behind ‘Ashes’—getting back on your feet no matter how hard life burns you down—is something people need to hear every day. It’s about resilience.” Fans will soon experience the band’s crushing new material live as Red Vinter returns to the Minneapolis doom and sludge gathering SINKFEST II on March 21st. The annual low-and-slow festival brings together some of the heaviest acts in the underground, and Red Vinter is preparing to bulldoze the stage with a set that includes the live debut of “Cryptic Site” alongside fan favorites like “Ashes,” “Lumbering Menace,” “K.I.A.,” and more. Early reactions to Red Vinter’s sound continue to highlight the band’s unique approach to heavy music. “Red Vinter's music is a brutal, melodic landscape that moves from small and delicate to massive and crushing in a heartbeat.” – Interview With A Nobody “Red Vinter's sound is tight, confident, and far more gripping than most first releases.” – Metal Digest “Red Vinter's Lumbering Menace is an excellently crafted doomy and heavy album.” – Teeth of the Divine With Ghost In The Fog now completed and live performances on the horizon, Red Vinter are gearing up to push their brand of doom laden devastation even further into the underground metal world.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Wayne Static Vocal Feature Approved For Unauthorized Documentary The unauthorized documentary by filmmaker Matt Zane about late Wayne Static and his wife Tera Wray Static has faced significant resistance since its initial announcement. Both families have previously voiced strong objections to the project and reportedly served Zane with a cease-and-desist notice in an effort to halt production. In addition, Wayne’s former bandmates in Static-X and the family have refused permission for the use of unreleased music recordings that Zane claims to have access to for the film. However, the project has now received approval to include a song featuring Wayne’s vocals by former members of 9ELECTIC, Micah Electric and Mikey Lopez. They have granted Zane permission to feature the track “Destroy As You Go,” originally recorded with Wayne in 2011. The song features Wayne Static on vocals and is accompanied by a music video showing Micah, his bandmates, Wayne and Tera working together in the studio. Micah said in a statement: “I was friends with Wayne and Tera for many years and spent quite a bit of time with them in the Joshua Tree area. Wayne was always a very supportive friend and showed it by singing on two songs for two different bands I was in. He had both of my bands out on tour with Static-X as well. I’m honored to have the song ‘DESTROY AS YOU GO’ featured in Matt’s movie and look forward to seeing the completed film soon!” Zane’s documentary aims to tell the story of Wayne and Tera’s relationship and lives within the rock and adult entertainment worlds. Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding the project, Zane has continued production and has been sharing updates with fans. Check out the song and video for “Destroy As You Go” below.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Engorgement Unleash Brutal New Album They Rot Beneath Our Floor – Out March 20 via Comatose Music UK slam/brutal death metal outfit Engorgement are set to unleash their long awaited second full length album, They Rot Beneath Our Floor, on March 20, 2026. Packed with crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and merciless percussion, the record marks the band’s triumphant return more than a decade after their debut full length, the pulverizing Excruciating Intestinal Lacerations. Formed in 2009 in Andover, England, Engorgement began when longtime friends Rich and Stu started writing the heaviest music they could imagine in their bedrooms. Raised in the chaos of the early 2000s skate and gig culture, their mission was simple: create the most brutally unforgiving sound possible. After earlier projects like Gore Sanctum and Disgorged Prolapse, the duo reset and forged Engorgement as their ultimate sonic weapon. Taking inspiration from legends like Devourment, Dying Fetus, and Suffocation, the band crafted a sound built on crushing groove driven riffs, cavernous gutturals, relentless drumming, and an unapologetically savage atmosphere. Over the years, while members have shifted, founding forces Rich and Stu have remained the driving core. Stu now commands vocals after originally playing guitar on the band’s first release, while Rich continues to anchor the low end with bass and backing vocals. Drummer Mitch Rider joined the band for the recording of their debut album in 2012 before later spending time performing with Kraanium. Returning to Engorgement in 2024, Rider helped drive the creation of the band’s devastating new record. In 2025 guitarist Rick Hill completed the lineup, bringing an aggressive style that perfectly complements Engorgement’s signature brutality. The result is They Rot Beneath Our Floor, a grotesque and punishing descent into sonic carnage. The album opens with the eerie atmosphere of “Prelude To Your Dismemberment” and closes with the ominous “Outro,” framing a barrage of crushing brutality in between. Tracks like “Sanctum Of Gore” deliver titanic waves of filth paired with flesh shredding bursts of speed, while “Complete Bowel Extraction” plunges listeners into a suffocating storm of grotesque imagery and savage instrumentation. Meanwhile “Unmerciful Redemption” tests endurance with its relentless assault of bone shattering riffs and punishing tempo shifts. Mixed and mastered by Floor Van Kuijk of Korpse at GLDCHN Studios, the album boasts a raw, festering power that perfectly captures Engorgement’s unhinged intensity. Known for their relentless live performances, Engorgement have carved a reputation across Europe with appearances at festivals including Deathfeast, Nice To Eat You, Slamming Brutality, Incineration Fest, Eradication Fest, and UK Slam Fest. With a packed 2026 show schedule ahead and the release of They Rot Beneath Our Floor, the band is poised to unleash utter carnage upon the global slam scene. When They Rot Beneath Our Floor erupts on March 20 through Comatose Music, fans of extreme brutality should prepare themselves. Engorgement are coming… and there’s always room beneath their floorboards.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nocturnal Ceremony’s “Obsidian” Continues Its Ascent With Another Haunting International Review Independent modern death metal force Nocturnal Ceremony continues to gain momentum with their debut album Obsidian, released March 4, 2026. Following a glowing write-up from Heavy Metal Philosophy, the album has now received another powerful endorsement from underground metal publication Deadly Storm Zine, further cementing its growing reputation in the extreme metal scene. The new review dives deep into the album’s eerie atmosphere and emotional weight, describing the record as something far more than just another metal release. The writer portrays Obsidian as a ritualistic experience, praising its ability to pull listeners into a shadowy world of haunting imagery, ancient passion, and crushing sound. Deadly Storm Zine writes that the album’s atmosphere is “strange, captivating, and magical,” with compositions that feel “sharp, wild, and mysterious.” The reviewer compares the listening experience to wandering through fog-covered cemeteries at dawn while ghosts drift between gravestones, calling the record a powerful ceremony rather than simply music. The review also highlights: A dense, crushing sound that balances heaviness with atmosphere Dark, imaginative songwriting that feels both ancient and fresh Hypnotic blackened death metal energy that lingers long after the final track A record described as “an excellent offering for all the damned” For the reviewer, Obsidian became deeply personal, describing the album as something that “crawled like a coil of poisonous snakes” before spreading through the mind and bloodstream like venom. The piece concludes by praising the album as a work that taps directly into the primal spirit of extreme metal. This latest praise follows the earlier Heavy Metal Philosophy review, which called Obsidian “a dark horse for your AOTY list,” highlighting its massive guitar tones, crushing grooves, and dynamic songwriting. Originally formed in the early 1990s, Nocturnal Ceremony vanished before fully realizing their potential. Now, more than three decades later, the band returns with a debut album that proves some darkness only grows stronger with time. Produced, mixed, mastered, and engineered by Thomas Madsen, Obsidian captures the band’s raw ferocity and haunting atmosphere, delivering a relentless sonic journey through shadows, memory, and catharsis. The band describes the album as deeply personal: “Nocturnal Ceremony says of the album:Sharing our music is a way of alleviation, up to the point of being cathartic. It is a way to express emotions that simply don't have any words, or a name. Releasing these songs is an act of letting go of some demons. It is about accepting what life now is and who you have become, to perhaps ultimately find some small measure of peace. Maybe by listening, you can too. We are Nocturnal Ceremony – welcome to our darkness.” Fans of Igorrr, Behemoth, and Bloodbath will find plenty to sink their teeth into as Obsidian continues spreading through the underground metal world. Stream the album and add to your playlists:https://hypeddit.com/nocturnalceremony/obsidian Independent, relentless, and unapologetically heavy, Nocturnal Ceremony proves that true darkness never dies, and Obsidian is quickly becoming one of the underground’s most talked-about releases of 2026.

Sardonic Witchery’s King Demogorgon Talks Under The Sign Of The Trident, Maryland Deathfest, and the Relentless Underground Spirit The underground metal scene thrives on passion, independence, and a refusal to compromise. Few artists embody that spirit more than Ricardo “KD” Mota, better known to extreme metal fans as King Demogorgon of Sardonic Witchery. During a recent appearance on The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio, the Texas-based black thrash mastermind sat down for an in-depth interview discussing the band’s savage compilation Under The Sign Of The Trident, their upcoming album, international tour plans, and the personal journey that brought Sardonic Witchery into existence. The conversation covered everything from underground metal philosophy to occult inspiration and the reality of building a band across continents. And one thing became clear quickly. Sardonic Witchery plays by its own rules. “We do exactly what I wanna do and we don’t have compromises with nobody.” The Purpose Behind Under The Sign Of The Trident While Sardonic Witchery fans are eagerly waiting for the band’s next full-length album, Demogorgon revealed that the record is already finished. However, instead of rushing it out, the band made a strategic move by releasing the compilation Under The Sign Of The Trident, featuring powerful re-recordings of earlier material. The goal was simple. Keep the ritual alive while preparing the next era of the band. “We did this compilation because we cannot release the new album yet. We want to find a really good label for it.” The compilation acts as both a tribute to Sardonic Witchery’s past and a brutal preview of the band’s evolving sound. Fans of black metal, thrash metal, and underground extreme metal will recognize the raw aggression and stripped-down intensity that has defined the project since its early demos. A New Sardonic Witchery Album Is Coming One of the biggest reveals during the interview was confirmation that Sardonic Witchery has completed its fifth full-length album, which promises to push the band into new sonic territory. According to Demogorgon, the upcoming record will surprise some listeners. “That will be a very different album. Some people will say, ‘What the hell is happening here?’” While the band’s black metal roots remain intact, the new material leans more heavily into black thrash influences, delivering faster riffs, tighter songwriting, and stronger production. A key contributor to this evolution is guitarist and producer G. Lucis Ruina, who recently became an official member of the band. Demogorgon praised his impact on the new material. “He gave a lot of power to the new riffs. He’s an excellent guitarist and producer.” The album is currently being submitted to labels, with hopes of a 2027 release. From Portugal to Texas: The Origins of Sardonic Witchery The story behind Sardonic Witchery is deeply personal. Born in Portugal and raised partly in Switzerland, Mota grew up immersed in heavy music before forming his first bands in the early 1990s. After years performing in Europe, life took a dramatic turn that eventually led him to Texas. “I came to Texas to clean my mind… it was supposed to be three months. I’ve been here fifteen years.” During that time, Sardonic Witchery emerged as a one-man extreme metal project, allowing Demogorgon complete creative freedom. “When you do music by yourself, you can do whatever you want when you feel it.” That independence has resulted in an enormous catalog of demos, splits, and underground releases dating back to 2012. The Meaning Behind the Name Sardonic Witchery The band’s name itself comes from a combination of personal experience and symbolism. Demogorgon explained that the word “sardonic” reflects the idea of a sarcastic or bitter smile, something that resonated deeply during one of the darkest periods of his life. “When you are pissed off but you give a smile to people… that is sardonic.” Combined with the mystical imagery of witchcraft, the name perfectly captures the band’s identity. Dark. Defiant. Uncompromising. Touring Plans and Maryland Deathfest Sardonic Witchery has a busy year ahead on the live front. The band will perform several major appearances including a highly anticipated slot at Maryland Deathfest, one of the world’s most respected extreme metal festivals. “Maryland Deathfest is something I wanted to do for a long time.” The band will also be heading overseas for a performance in the UK at an underground festival called Weekend of Darkness, before returning to the United States for a tour with Polish black metal veterans Besatt. Tour stops are expected across multiple states including: Wisconsin Illinois Indiana Louisiana Texas North Carolina New York Tennessee Sardonic Witchery will also make their first-ever appearance in Mexico later this year. A True Underground Metal Warrior What makes Sardonic Witchery stand out is the relentless drive behind it. While many bands rely heavily on industry backing, Demogorgon built this project through pure dedication. Outside of music, he works as an electromechanic, balancing everyday life with the demands of writing, recording, and performing extreme metal. It is a reminder that the underground metal scene still thrives on passion rather than profit. Stream the Full Interview Fans of black metal, thrash metal, and underground extreme music will want to stream the entire conversation, which dives even deeper into Sardonic Witchery’s history, influences, and future plans. From stories about early bands and European tours to the philosophy behind creating uncompromising extreme metal, the interview captures the mindset of an artist fully dedicated to the craft. As always, the message from Metal Devastation Radio is simple. Turn it up loud. Put the speakers in your windows. And let the neighbors know real metal is alive and well.
