The Canadian Death Metal Legends Target the Dark Side of Internet Fame with a Vicious New Track After three decades of relentless brutality, Canadian death metal icons Cryptopsy show no signs of softening their attack. With the release of “Dead Eyes Replete,” the third single from their upcoming ninth full-length album An Insatiable Violence, the Montreal-based masters of sonic mutilation prove once again why their name remains etched in the annals of extreme metal history. Set for release later this year, An Insatiable Violence is the band’s first full-length since earning a JUNO Award—Canada’s most prestigious music accolade—for their previous release. But rather than bask in accolades, Cryptopsy have sharpened their knives. “Dead Eyes Replete” is a furious indictment of society's obsession with internet fame, specifically focusing on the disturbing exploitation of child YouTubers. Watch it here:  [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="Wl8Z1_aLNyQ"] “It’s one of the most brutal songs on our new album,” says vocalist Matt McGachy. “It reaches into the depths of the sordid world of YouTube child stars and how parents rob them of their youth and innocence—all in the name of greed.” Born from a concept McGachy dreamt up—eerily prophetic in hindsight—An Insatiable Violence is steeped in themes of manipulation, digital perversion, and the creeping rot of modern culture. "Dead Eyes Replete" captures this essence in a no-holds-barred assault that blends technical proficiency with gut-punching groove. McGachy’s voice is at its most menacing, thanks in part to over 140 live shows that have helped him refine and deepen his false chord growls. From the opening seconds, the track launches like a predator from the shadows. Guitarist Christian Donaldson, also the band’s producer and engineer, twists riffs into angular bursts of dissonance, while drum god Flo Mounier unleashes blast beats that hit like aerial bombardments. “Since our last album, I’ve developed new techniques that allow us to go even faster,” says Mounier. But it’s not just about speed. Tucked within the chaos is a subtle homage to John Bonham—a stomping fill that channels Led Zeppelin’s thunder. “I told Chris we were leaving that part in there. It's the closest we’re ever going to come to sounding like Zeppelin,” Mounier grins. The brutality is balanced with headbanging rhythm, particularly during the track’s crushing breakdown led by bassist Oli Pinard. As McGachy hisses, “Beware the spotlight,” the band reminds listeners that not all attention is a blessing. The single is accompanied by a visceral music video created by B2crea, matching the song’s intensity with stark, provocative visuals that mirror the song’s condemnation of corrupted innocence and viral exploitation. Cryptopsy’s legacy has always rested on their refusal to compromise—An Insatiable Violence continues that tradition, digging deeper into the filth and fury that made them infamous. With “Dead Eyes Replete,” they issue a warning: fame comes with a price, and in this case, it’s childhood. Dead Eyes Replete is available now on all major platforms. 🔗 Pre-order / Pre-save An Insatiable Violence: https://orcd.co/cryptopsyaninsatiableviolence Cryptopsy Lineup: Matt McGachy – Vocals Flo Mounier – Drums Christian Donaldson – Guitars / Production Oli Pinard – Bass Album Credits: Recording, Mixing & Mastering: Christian Donaldson’s Studio Production & Sound Engineering: Christian Donaldson Guest Vocals on “Embrace the Nihility”: Mike DiSalvo Cover Art: Martin Lacroix Photography: Maciej Pieloch Biography: Adrien Begrand Booking Agents: USA – Continental Touring: www.continentaltouring.us Europe – Avocado Booking: www.avocadobooking.com Brace yourself—Cryptopsy is not just back.

Shadows to Unleash Blackened Fury with Debut Album MiseriaFeaturing former members of Visceral Bleeding, The Berzerker, Enshrined, and Ominous — out August 29 Germany and Sweden unite in chaos as Shadows, a blackened death metal powerhouse forged in darkness, prepares to release their hellish debut full-length Miseria on August 29. With deep roots in extreme metal and a lineup featuring former members of Visceral Bleeding, The Berzerker, Enshrined, and Ominous, Shadows is primed to deliver a scorched-earth sonic experience steeped in unrelenting misanthropy. Recorded across Germany and Sweden, Miseria is a nine-track descent into existential dread, nihilistic atmospheres, and punishing heaviness. The band describes the album as: "Miseria aims to explore the vast uncaring nothingness and explore the dread of our futile existence. If you are looking for release or redemption you won’t find them here. The album is unmistakably rooted in the Scandinavian black and death metal but delivers it with its own signature. It is crushing and suffocating but also melodic and solemn." With an arsenal of harrowing riffs, venomous vocals, and intricate arrangements, Miseria captures the bleak spirit of Scandinavian extremity while carving out a unique identity within the genre’s darkest corners. Tracks like “As Above So Below” and “Lamia” have already been approved for airplay, signaling a deadly blend of accessibility and uncompromising heaviness. ⚒️ Album Credits: Recorded by: Dejan Milenkovits & Filip Gäddnäs Mixed/Produced by: Dejan Milenkovits & Mathias Lodmalm Mastered by: Dejan Milenkovits & Mathias Lodmalm Session Drums: Filip Gäddnäs Additional Vocals: Mathias Lodmalm Guest Solos: Robert Ahrling (“Lamia”), Andreas Hedberg (“Delivered From Sin”) Artwork: Fernando Rojas B. (Abismo Black Arts) 🩸 Line-Up: Dejan Milenkovits – Vocals & Guitars Martin Bermheden – Guitars Andreas Holm – Bass Joél Cirera – Drums 🕯️ About Shadows: Formed in 2021 by Dejan Milenkovits during the isolation of the pandemic, Shadows started as a solo vision and quickly evolved into a full-fledged band. The raw initial recordings drew in respected collaborators including Mathias Lodmalm (Cemetary, Sundown) and Filip Gäddnäs, adding depth and atmosphere to the developing sound. By early 2025, Shadows transformed from a solitary studio project into a full force, with Milenkovits reuniting with former Enshrined bandmates Joél Cirera and Martin Bermheden, and solidifying the lineup with bassist Andreas Holm. Now poised for their first official release, Shadows prepare to plunge listeners into their abyss with Miseria — a stark reflection of modern despair, delivered through blackened flames and death metal precision. 🔗 For more information, merch, and updates visit:🌐 https://shadows-official.com Prepare yourselves — Miseria is coming August 29.

The gods of groove-laden warfare return to the battlefield. This fall, metal legends Max and Iggor Cavalera will storm the U.S. with a tour destined to leave nothing but smoldering stages and blown minds in its wake. The RETURN TO CHAOS Tour will see the brothers perform their iconic 1993 Sepultura masterpiece CHAOS A.D. in full—bringing one of the most vital, politically charged, and enduring records in metal history back to the frontlines. Joining them on this sonic campaign are the industrial metal juggernauts Fear Factory, making this one of the heaviest and most nostalgic tours of the year. Fans old and new will unite in the pit as classics like "Refuse/Resist," "Territory," "Slave New World," and "Propaganda" tear through venues with the same intensity that first set the world ablaze over three decades ago. “Tanks on the streets, confronting police, bleeding the plebs!” Max roars, his voice just as raw and commanding as ever. Behind him, Iggor’s tribal drums roll in like a thunderous declaration of war. CHAOS A.D. isn’t just an album—it’s a manifesto. Released in 1993, it was a seismic shift in metal, blending thrash, groove, and hardcore punk into a politically conscious, socially aware weapon of rebellion. In today’s world of unrest and unease, CHAOS A.D. still speaks with an unsettling clarity and force. And now, Cavalera is giving fans the opportunity to relive its power live and in full. The tour kicks off September 18 in Louisville, KY at Louder Than Life and runs through October 18 in Dallas, TX. Expect walls of sound, walls of death, and a legacy of heavy metal carved in blood and riffs.

From the shadowy, rain-drenched streets of Edinburgh, Scotland, emerges CHESTCRUSH, a band that has been forging an unrelenting path through the most extreme realms of underground metal since their inception in early 2020. Founded by Greek-born guitarist and lyricist Evangelos Vasilakos, CHESTCRUSH has built a ferocious reputation by blending Black, Death, Sludge, Grind, and Noise into a brutal yet captivating sonic assault. Their highly anticipated sophomore album, ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ (pronounced “Psycho-vgaltis”), meaning “Soul Extractor” in Greek, is out now and ready to wrench the very essence from its listeners. A Legacy of Relentless Extremity CHESTCRUSH burst onto the scene with their 2020 debut Demo, an explosive introduction that showcased their raw aggression and unique sound. The follow-up album Vthelygmia (2021) established the band as formidable purveyors of darkness and misanthropy. Named after the Greek word for abhorrence and abomination, Vthelygmia channeled deep societal disgust and personal torment into an intense conceptual journey, earning critical acclaim and selling out all physical copies. The band continued to evolve in 2022 with Apechtheia, an EP that explored new sonic territory by incorporating ambient noise and drone elements alongside their signature brutality. The track “The Despiser” even caught the attention of Matt Heafy (Trivium) and was selected for the soundtrack of the anticipated horror-comedy film DEATHGASM II: Goremageddon (2025). Like its predecessors, Apechtheia was met with glowing praise from the underground metal media and quickly sold out. The Crushing Weight of ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ With ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ, CHESTCRUSH dives deeper into the abyss of nihilism, misanthropy, and anti-religious vitriol. The album is a punishing, visceral experience, described by the band as a “boiling, corrosive magma of evil and negativity” confronting the curse of hope and the rejection of life itself. It challenges listeners to face the darkest truths of existence through a searing narrative of trauma, hatred, and societal decay. Musically, the album is a masterclass in extreme metal fusion. It melds the bleak, desolate soundscapes of Black Metal with the merciless, technical brutality of Death Metal, enhanced by atmospheric post-metal layers that add depth to the oppressive, nightmarish sound. The unhinged yet communicative vocals act as a guide through a labyrinth of degradation, making each track a cathartic plunge into chaos. Track Highlights The album’s eight tracks offer no respite, from the haunting opener “Underneath This Rotten Soil Bodies Are Still Bleeding” to the incendiary “Hang Them! Torch Them!” and the crushing finale “As The Damned Writhe In Eternal Woe.” Each song is steeped in bleak lyrical themes that explore existential punishment, lies, rejection, and eternal torment, culminating in a total runtime of 40:36 minutes of sheer brutality. The Creators Behind the Chaos Evangelos Vasilakos (Guitars, Bass, Lyrics) — Also known for his work in Caustic Phlegm Topias Jokipii (Vocals) — Also part of Saasta Robin Stone (Drums) — Also a member of Convulsing The album was expertly mixed and mastered by Ben Jones, while the striking cover artwork was created by Vladimir Chebakov, with vinyl inlay art by Adam Medford. Written and recorded between April and August 2024, ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ is self-released and available now in all physical formats through CHESTCRUSH’s Bandcamp, as well as all major streaming platforms. Critical Acclaim and Influence CHESTCRUSH’s previous works have been praised for their uncompromising intensity and innovative brutality: “Brain-splattering, building-shaking, heavy-distorted ear candy… for the most extreme of metal-heads!” — Metal-Digest.com (9/10) “A misanthropic noise terror of the highest order.” — ScreamBlastRepeat.com (8/10) “One of the finest—if not darkest—black metal albums of the year.” — metal-temple.com (8/10) “No doubt one of the more interesting blackened death metal outfits in the current era.” — sleepingvillagereviews.com Connect and Experience Prepare for an unholy journey into the depths of the human psyche and the harsh realities of modern existence. CHESTCRUSH’s ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ is not merely an album; it is a ritualistic confrontation with suffering, chaos, and the dark shadows we all carry. Listen, suffer, and embrace the darkness: Bandcamp Instagram Facebook Spotify CHESTCRUSH’s ΨΥΧΟΒΓΑΛΤΗΣ is available now — a brutal, unrelenting extraction of the soul itself.
