FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Mephisto Odyssey’s Mikael Johnston Receives RIAA Gold Certification for His “Crucified Dub” of Static-X’s “Push It” Alternate version developed with Wayne Static during the band’s early Warner Bros. era earns Gold status, highlighting one of Static’s most notable creative collaborations outside Static-X April 21, 2026 — The RIAA has officially certified Static-X’s iconic single “Push It” as Gold. Among the versions featured on the original 1999 maxi-single was the “Crucified Dub,” an alternate version created by Mikael Johnston of Mephisto Odyssey with creative input from Wayne Static. Johnston recently completed a 2026 remaster of the track at Pop Twist Studios. The updated version is now streaming here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="OMnyrhmMTew"] The accompanying video was edited by filmmaker Matt Zane. Wayne Static did not just approve of the “Crucified Dub” — he embraced it, recognizing the creative chemistry he shared with Johnston as something distinct from the core Static-X sound. That connection became the foundation for an ongoing creative partnership. Static later contributed vocals and writing to Mephisto Odyssey’s “Crash” from the album The Deep Red Connection. The track was featured on the Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker soundtrack, received significant alternative rock radio play and MTV2/MTVX rotation, and was supported by a music video directed by Len Wiseman, featuring Koichi Fukuda on guitar. Over the following years, Wayne Static continued to work with Johnston whenever he wanted to explore material outside the traditional Static-X framework. Johnston and Mephisto Odyssey contributed remixes and alternate versions for several key tracks, including: “Love Dump” (Mephisto Odyssey Voodoo Mix) — featured on the 2001 film Valentine soundtrack “Cold” (Mephisto Odyssey Remix) — released on German promotional singles tied to the Queen of the Damned soundtrack and distributed to winners of a Static-X fan contest Additional remixes for Static-X tracks including “This Is Not” and “Black & White” Johnston and Wayne Static remained close collaborators and friends until Static’s passing in October 2014. In addition to his own work, Johnston has become a visible supporter of filmmaker Matt Zane’s upcoming unauthorized documentary on Wayne Static and Tera Wray, a project that has faced resistance in some circles. Johnston has granted Zane permission to use his 2025–2026 reimagining of “CRASH: Reborn” in the film. “Wayne was genuinely happy with how the ‘Crucified Dub’ turned out, and that trust led to us working together on several projects over the years,” Johnston said. “I’m proud of the music we created together, and I’m happy to support Matt’s documentary. Wayne’s story deserves to be told honestly, not filtered or controlled by people with their own agendas.” As interest in Wayne Static’s unreleased recordings and unfinished projects continues to grow, Johnston’s long and well-documented history with Static has placed him at the center of ongoing discussions about how the singer’s legacy should be preserved and presented moving forward. Mikael Johnston continues to work at Pop Twist Studios in Texas. Media Contact: poptwistmanagement@gmail.com & zach@metaldevastationradio.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CEMETERY ROT UNCLOG THE SEWERS WITH NEW SELF-TITLED TRACK FROM UPCOMING ALBUM “DECOMPOSING BODIES UPON THE ALTAR OF SACRIFICE” From the filth-soaked underground of Kern County, California comes a new slab of pure death metal rot. Cemetery Rot return with a self-titled track lifted from their forthcoming full-length, Decomposing Bodies Upon the Altar of Sacrifice, arriving via CDN Records. This is not polished. Not cleaned up. Not watered down for comfort. This is death metal dragged straight through the sewer line and left to ferment. Cemetery Rot have always operated like they crawled out of the pipes rather than a practice space. Formed in 2022 by guitarist and vocalist Gar, the band quickly carved out a name with their debut EP Euphoric Consumption of Human Flesh, establishing a sound rooted in early 90s demo-era death metal brutality. No gloss. No compromise. Just decay, despair, and distortion. Now they push deeper into the rot with a new self-titled track that sets the tone for their upcoming record Decomposing Bodies Upon the Altar of Sacrifice. The song leans hard into what the band has always represented, suffocating atmosphere, low end punishment, and that cold reminder of what death metal is supposed to feel like when it is done right. Cemetery Rot describe themselves as coming “from the sewers,” and honestly, it tracks. This is music that sounds like it was unearthed, not recorded. A direct transmission from the slumber of decay, where everything is collapsing in slow motion and loving every second of it. For anyone still loyal to the raw spirit of early tape-trading era death metal, this is aimed right at you. Watch and listen here:https://cdnrecords.com/artists/cemetery-rot/[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="LF-HeVgAWMI"] ABOUT CEMETERY ROT Cemetery Rot emerged in 2022 from Kern County, California, formed by guitarist and vocalist Gar. The project quickly built its identity around a sewer-drenched aesthetic and a sound inspired by early 90s death metal demos. Their work channels decay, despair, and suffocating atmosphere into a raw, unfiltered sonic assault. ABOUT CDN RECORDS CDN Records is dedicated to pushing extreme music in its rawest and most uncompromising forms, supporting artists who keep underground metal ugly, honest, and loud. No polish. No filter. Just rot.  Follow the band at these links: https://cemeteryrot.bandcamp.com/track/it-came-from-the-sewershttps://www.instagram.com/cemetery_rot/https://linktr.ee/cemetery_rothttps://cdnrecords.com/label-artists/cemetery-rot/ Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RADIANT BLACK’S “THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DECAY” OUT NOW Stream and purchase: https://radiantblack.bandcamp.com/album/through-the-valley-of-decay Progressive / Melodic Death Metal duo Radiant Black unleash their most immersive and structured release to date with “Through the Valley of Decay,” out now, June 8th, 2026. The new full-length marks a clear step forward in their evolution, pushing deeper into atmosphere, contrast, and tightly constructed songwriting, anchored by expressive lead guitar work and intricate melodic soloing that continues to define their sound. Built as a continuous emotional descent, the album moves through shifting layers of melody, intensity, and dynamic guitar interplay. Opening track Ascent sets the tone before diving into the evolving textures of Viridian and First Light, expanding the band’s sonic palette into more experimental and progressive territory while showcasing detailed phrasing and lead passages. Tracks such as Elegy for the Condemned, Between the Faces, and The Witness drive into darker, more aggressive ground, while the closing piece Hall of Voices delivers a reflective and atmospheric finish. A standout moment arrives with a guest saxophone performance by Hugo Lee on First Light, adding an unexpected layer that pushes the record further into progressive territory. “Through the Valley of Decay” was produced and mixed independently by guitarist Raphael Meissonnier, with mastering by Dave Otero (Archspire, Cattle Decapitation, Fallujah, The Zenith Passage), delivering a sharp, powerful final sound. Radiant Black, formed in 2022 by Raphael Meissonnier and vocalist Voiicide, continues to operate outside traditional label systems while steadily building momentum through releases including Epoqualypse (2022), Reborn (2023), and Rituals of Anarchy (2024). Their sound keeps evolving around melodic precision, progressive structure, detailed guitar work, and modern extreme metal intensity. Production Credits:Music by Raphael MeissonnierVocals by VoiicideProduced and mixed by Raphael MeissonnierMastered by Dave OteroGuest musician: Hugo Lee (saxophone on First Light) Radiant Black continues carving its own path in the underground, delivering a record built for listeners who still value albums as complete experiences rather than disconnected singles.

Old school death metal veterans Jungle Rot are asking fans for support after a sudden travel disaster left the band stranded and hit with unexpected expenses while on tour. The group has launched a GoFundMe campaign titled Help Us Get Back on the Road to recover the financial losses and keep their current touring cycle moving forward. Fans can contribute to the fundraiser here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-jungle-rots-tour-recovery Travel chaos triggers major financial setback According to the band, the situation began when a flight was canceled without warning during their current tour. That single disruption created a chain reaction of costs, forcing the group to cover emergency lodging, transportation, driver fees, and last minute travel rebooking. In their statement, Jungle Rot explained that independent touring acts operate on extremely tight margins, where one major delay or cancellation can erase profits from multiple shows. What might look like a simple travel issue on the surface quickly becomes a serious financial burden when multiplied across an entire tour schedule. The band emphasized that every part of their touring operation is budgeted in advance, meaning unexpected disruptions can put pressure on both the musicians and the crew working behind the scenes to keep the run alive. “Any contribution helps keep us on the road” Jungle Rot addressed fans directly, stressing that the goal of the GoFundMe is simply to recover from the unexpected losses and continue the tour as planned. They noted that any donation, no matter the size, goes directly toward covering travel related expenses. For fans unable to contribute financially, the band said that sharing the fundraiser is just as valuable in helping spread the word and ease the burden. The message reflects a familiar reality for long running underground bands, where community support often plays a critical role in keeping tours viable when setbacks hit. Still on the road with a packed 2026 tour schedule Despite the setback, Jungle Rot continue their extensive “Back to the Old School Tour,” which includes club shows and major European festival appearances throughout summer 2026. The tour features support from acts including KHNVM and Rats Of Gomorrah on select legs, alongside appearances at major festivals across Europe. Stops include cities across the Baltics, Scandinavia, Central and Eastern Europe, and major festival dates such as Obscene Extreme Festival, Dortmund Deathfest, Partysan Festival, and Alcatraz Festival. Touring reality hits even veteran bands The situation highlights a harsh truth of modern touring life. Even established underground bands are not immune to logistical failures that can quickly snowball into major financial setbacks. A single canceled flight can ripple through an entire schedule, impacting lodging, transport, and production costs across multiple countries. For Jungle Rot, the focus remains on staying on the road and delivering shows to fans who have supported them for decades. The GoFundMe is simply a way to bridge an unexpected gap and keep the tour moving forward without further disruption. As the band continues their 2026 run, the message is clear: the music does not stop, but sometimes the road needs a little help keeping it alive. Less

Deathcore veterans Whitechapel are hitting a major milestone this fall, marking 20 years of relentless heaviness with a full North American headlining run that looks more like a victory lap built for chaos than a nostalgia trip. Presented by Live Nation, the tour launches November 11 in Atlanta, Georgia and wraps December 18 in Pelham, Tennessee. Along the way, the band will be pulling from their entire catalog, meaning nothing is off limits. Old cuts, new bruisers, deep cuts that fans have been begging for years, it is all on the table. Joining them for the run is a stacked support bill featuring Chelsea Grin, The Acacia Strain, and Netherwalker on select dates. That lineup alone tells you this is not a casual night out. This is full contact damage. Guitarist Alex Wade summed it up best, reflecting on the band’s unlikely two decade run and calling this their biggest headlining tour yet. The band plans to perform songs from their entire discography, promising their longest sets ever in the largest rooms they have played to date. Tickets move fast on this kind of run. Artist presales and VIP packages open June 9 at 2:00 PM local time through Sound Rink, with general on sale following June 12 at 10:00 AM local. VIP options include meet and greets, early entry, exclusive merch, and collector style items built for the diehards who have been riding since day one.

Brady Music Center12/18/2026 Pelham, TN The Caverns Netherwalker will not appear on the Montreal and Toronto dates. This tour also leans heavily on the band’s most recent release, Hymns In Dissonance, issued via Metal Blade Records. The record pushed Whitechapel further into darker, heavier territory and earned strong chart placements across Billboard categories, proving the band is not just surviving 20 years in, they are still evolving and hitting harder than ever. Critical reception was just as blunt as the music itself, with outlets praising its brutality, technical weight, and refusal to let up. Translation, it is built for the pit, not polite listening.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE UK Deathcore Force Suffer Drop Crushing New Single “Soul From Flesh” – OUT NOW UK deathcore heavyweights Suffer have officially released their brand new single “Soul From Flesh,” now available worldwide alongside its full music video premiering via Slam Worldwide. Watch the video now via Slam Worldwide. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="P4FDgxKm3V0"] “Soul From Flesh” marks the next chapter in the band’s ongoing resurgence following their 2025 reformation and lineup evolution. With a sharper edge and a more deliberate, punishing direction, Suffer continue to push forward after the impact of their recent era reset and the release of “Pendulum of Vengeance.” This is not just another single. It is the title track of their upcoming EP, due August 2026, with the artwork for the single also serving as the official EP cover. Full EP details are set to be revealed in June once final tracks are locked. No filler. No compromise. Just intent. The track dives deeper into the band’s core themes of internal conflict, raw instinct, and psychological collapse, pushing further into the darker territory they’ve carved out in the modern deathcore landscape. Expect precision, violence in tone, and zero interest in playing it safe. The band confirmed the release cycle is now fully in motion, with everything building toward a larger statement arriving in August. More EP details are coming soon. “Soul From Flesh” was created by the current lineup featuring Greg Hevican on vocals and Klaudiusz Trzebuniak on guitar. The chemistry has already proven itself live and in the studio, and this release pushes it even further over the edge. Following a run of explosive live shows and a growing European presence, Suffer continue to expand their reach under their booking partnership with DC Sound Attack.
