BBQ was total madness, with The Hollow/Band, Kinda Mad, and Herz delivering electrifying performances that nearly depleted the restaurant’s food and beer supply. The atmosphere was wild, loud, and full of energy—perfect preparation for the festival’s main event. Saturday’s festival was a relentless assault on the senses, with fans arriving early and maintaining high energy throughout the day. Every band brought their A-game: Sun Mantra kicked things off with a fuzzed-out doom groove, easing the crowd in with perfect pacing. Their tribute cover of Snowblind for Ozzy Osbourne was a highlight of the day. East Ov Eden followed with speed, precision, and unstoppable energy that had heads banging and pits rolling. NinjaWitch took the audience on a cosmic trip through doom and haze, with Order of the Red Horse keeping the groove alive and fans moving. Ov Ruin from Nashville surprised everyone—they were originally scheduled as vendors selling coffee but turned out to be a full-on deathcore band. This was only their first or second live performance, yet they brought total devastation to the stage and floored the crowd. Septarian delivered a brutal death metal set that left necks sore and adrenaline pumping. Visitant brought an emotional black metal performance, closing with Moon Bathe as a tribute to Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath. Fans sang along, creating a powerful, heartfelt moment.

Casket Robbery unleashed pure death metal fury, revisiting the “Satanic Panic” vibe from the festival’s first year, crushing fans with new songs and chaotic energy. Summoner’s Circle led the crowd through a full-blown ritual, complete with the infamous baby Bleetus launched into the audience. The highlight of their set was a rare live performance of their classic song Leviathan, making it an unforgettable moment for longtime fans. LarcɆnia RoɆ delivered deathcore destruction with bass drops that shook the ground, pits everywhere, and stage monitors held in place due to the sheer force of the crowd.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BONEYARD Unleashes Wild New Single & Video “Hanging Tree” — Out Now! 🎧 Stream/Pre-save: https://ffm.to/hanging-tree Edmonton, Alberta, Canada — October 17, 2025 — Canadian female-fronted hard rock and melodic metal outfit BONEYARD is back in full force with their brand-new single and music video “Hanging Tree,” out now on all streaming platforms. This marks the third single from their upcoming sophomore album Black Static — and it’s a hell of a ride. The “Hanging Tree” video is a tongue-in-cheek Western Metal showdown like you’ve never seen before — packed with gunslingers, outlaws, a sultry goth cowgirl, and a hangman’s noose. It’s equal parts grit, groove, and gallows humor, showing Boneyard’s ability to blend heavy hooks with cinematic flair. Fans of Raging Slab, Reverend Horton Heat, and The Four Horsemen will eat this one up. Formed in 2015 by vocalist/guitarist Pamtera and drummer Jefftimus, Boneyard first turned heads with their debut album Oathbreaker, featuring the singles “Fates Warning,” “Oathbreaker,” and “Evil Ways.” The record was mastered in Los Angeles by Grammy-nominated, Juno-winning engineer Maor Appelbaum (Faith No More, Annihilator). Over the years, Boneyard has become a standout force in the Canadian rock and metal scene, performing across Western Canada at events like Decimate Metalfest, Pembina River Nights, and Shockerfest, and sharing stages with 96 Bitter Beings, KingDoom, and Deadwolff. The band’s strength isn’t just in their riffs — it’s in their representation. With a Métis drummer and a female bassist from the LGBTQ+ community, Boneyard embodies inclusion, power, and authenticity while proudly flying the flag for melodic metal. So saddle up and ride out with Boneyard’s “Hanging Tree.” It’s dark, it’s heavy, it’s tongue-in-cheek — and it’s 100% badass. 🎥 Watch the Official Video Premiere: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="vudfSBqQYUg"] Boneyard Lineup:Pamtera – Lead Vocals, GuitarLezzy Osbourne – Bass GuitarJefftimus – DrumsGarhardt – Lead Guitar Follow & Support BONEYARD: https://www.facebook.com/boneyardyeghttps://linktr.ee/boneyardrockshttps://open.spotify.com/artist/2dYMbDeJHi0vsvKUjlQi2qhttps://boneyardrocks.ca/https://ffm.to/hanging-tree Less

Building on the chaos unleashed with their previous single “Descent to Ruin,” the band now pushes even deeper into apocalyptic territory. “ETERNAL” is a slab of pure aggression — equal parts precision and brutality — channeling the crushing weight of Morbid Angel, Decapitated, and Behemoth, while forging their own distinct path of sonic annihilation. Recorded and produced by Kellan Scalf at Maelstrom Studio (Atlanta, GA) and mixed and mastered by Jamie Uertz at Silver Cord Studio, “ETERNAL” captures the raw, unfiltered intensity that’s made SEPTARIAN one of the Southeast’s most feared and respected underground acts. From the opening riff to the final blast beat, the song is a declaration of defiance — a testament to the band’s refusal to fade quietly into the noise. After leveling the stage at Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest, fans and newcomers alike have been clamoring for more — and “ETERNAL” delivers in spades. It’s brutal, it’s honest, and it’s exactly what death metal should sound like in 2025.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FUZZRIPPER Unleashes Haunting New Single “Crystal Lake” American heavy metal outfit FUZZRIPPER continues to carve its niche in the modern metal scene with the release of their latest single, “Crystal Lake”, now streaming on all platforms: https://linktr.ee/fuzzripper. Blending crushing guitar riffs, thunderous drums, and 80’s-inspired synth, FUZZRIPPER delivers a track that’s both nostalgic and fiercely contemporary. “Crystal Lake” draws inspiration from the chilling dynamic between Jason and Pamela Voorhees, brought to life in an accompanying music video that visualizes the story behind the song. The drums were recorded by Layne Robertson at Contra Coda Media, with the rest of the instruments tracked, mixed, and mastered by vocalist and guitarist Dusty Mahan at Ripper Productions. Formed in 2017 in Clarksville, TN, FUZZRIPPER consists of Dusty Mahan (vocals/guitar), Tommy Scott (guitar), Dom Miller (bass), and Joshua Porche (drums). Known for blending classic heavy metal with modern production and 80’s synth elements, the band first captured international attention with their debut album Nightstalker in 2017. Their mascot, Jack “the Ripper”, has become a recurring icon across their albums, merchandise, and live shows. Earlier this year, FUZZRIPPER released Poltergeist, a concept album celebrating classic paranormal films and TV shows. The band enlisted Jeremiah Scott (Demon Hunter, Destroy Destroy Destroy) to mix and master the album at The Southern Oracle. Following that release, FUZZRIPPER has been actively performing regional shows, building momentum for the next chapter of their sound. “Crystal Lake” is a testament to FUZZRIPPER’s evolution—anchored in the spirit of metal legends like Ghost, Ozzy Osbourne, and Metallica, yet pushing the genre forward with their signature style. Fans can expect a full-length album from the band in Fall 2026.
