FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ROTTING EMPIRE Unleash Re-Recorded Classic “Images Of War” – New Single & Video Out March 29, 2026 Ingolstadt, Germany – After a quarter-century of relentless riff warfare, German death metal veterans Rotting Empire return with a crushing new chapter in their legacy. The band will release their re-recorded single and official music video, “Images Of War,” on March 29, 2026, delivering a modernized, bone-crushing take on the track that started it all. Originally released as part of their 2006 demo, “Images Of War” has been resurrected and reforged for 2026 with devastating clarity and power. The new version captures the raw spirit of the early days while hitting harder than ever thanks to updated production and the band’s decades of experience sharpening their sound. For 25 years, Rotting Empire have stood as a cornerstone of the German underground, carving out a reputation for blending classic European death metal with groove-laden brutality. Their sound sits firmly in the lineage of bands like Illdisposed, Bolt Thrower, Evocation, and Unleashed, while also channeling the weight and grit of Florida death metal. Since forming in 2000 near Ingolstadt, the band has played over 100 shows and shared stages with heavyweights including Kataklysm, Crowbar, Asphyx, Grave, Vader, Six Feet Under, Fleshcrawl, and Vomitory. From festival appearances at Braincrusher Festival and Mammut Festival to club-level destruction, Rotting Empire have proven their staying power the old-school way: by getting on stage and leveling rooms. Their discography includes the debut full-length Sui Generis (2012) and Buried In The Past (2022), both released via Rebirth The Metal Productions. Now, the band comes full circle by revisiting their origins with a re-recorded version of their very first release. “Rotting Empire celebrated its 25-year band anniversary in 2025. Brand-new in 2026, we will release the re-recording of our debut release. The official music video and single mark the beginning, with the full album to follow later this year.” The upcoming full-length album, also titled Images Of War, is scheduled for release on October 4, 2026, continuing the band’s legacy of unfiltered, war-driven death metal. The new single was mixed and mastered by Tobias Schill, delivering a massive, modern sound while staying true to the band’s old-school roots.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PATRIARCHS IN BLACK Unleash Epic BLACK SABBATH Cover “Supertzar,” Featured on BraveWords Heavy metal powerhouse Patriarchs In Black are making serious noise once again with their latest release, a bold and crushing cover of Black Sabbath’s deep cut “Supertzar,” now featured on leading metal outlet BraveWords. Known for doing things their own way, Patriarchs In Black didn’t go for the obvious hit. Instead, they dug deep into Sabbath’s catalog and resurrected one of its most ambitious and overlooked compositions. The result is nothing short of massive. “Supertzar” delivers thunderous riffs, cinematic atmosphere, and a unique twist with haunting female vocals from Sarah Sovak, elevating the track into something both familiar and entirely new. The lineup behind the track reads like a who’s who of heavy music. Drums are handled by Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig, Quiet Riot), guitars by Dan Lorenzo (Hades, Non-Fiction), and keys by former Pale Horse Named Death member Eric J. Morgan. In a true stamp of approval moment, original Black Sabbath drummer Bill Ward personally checked out the track and gave it his blessing. Speaking on the inspiration behind the cover, Lorenzo explains:“When I revisited ‘Supertzar,’ I fell in love with it all over again. Sarah Sovak and Eric J. Morgan really helped us bring the song to life.” “Supertzar” appears on the band’s latest release, Completely Covered In Black, out now via No Life Til Metal Records. The album showcases Patriarchs In Black’s love for classic heavy music, featuring powerful interpretations of artists like KISS, Led Zeppelin, Peter Gabriel, Twisted Sister, and more, alongside standout guest performances from across the metal spectrum. Formed in late 2021, Patriarchs In Black has quickly built a reputation for relentless creativity and collaboration, releasing multiple albums in rapid succession, each featuring a rotating cast of vocalists and bassists. Their ability to reimagine classic material while maintaining a heavy, modern edge sets them apart in today’s metal landscape. With Completely Covered In Black, the band proves once again that honoring the past doesn’t mean playing it safe. Stream “Supertzar” now and experience one of the boldest Black Sabbath covers in recent memory.
