Napalm Records has done it again — dropping a chilling new gem straight into our inboxes. Cleveland’s own Frayle, masters of the heavy, low, and witchy, have unveiled their latest single “Walking Wounded”, and it’s a soul-crushing doom anthem you’ll want to play on repeat under the cover of night. Released on July 2, 2025, Walking Wounded delivers four minutes of ethereal anguish, wrapped in thick layers of doom-laden riffs, haunting vocals, and shadow-drenched atmosphere. Frontwoman Gwyn Strang conjures a hypnotic performance with her spectral voice, while guitarist Sean Bilovecky lays down massive, slow-burning tones that crawl beneath your skin. Produced and mixed by Aaron Chaparian at Iron Audio, and recorded by Shane Stanton at Glower Studios, the track is a testament to Frayle’s sonic craftsmanship and their unique position in today’s doom and alternative metal scenes. The single is available now on Bandcamp in high-quality 24-bit/44.1kHz audio, streaming and downloadable for fans of high-fidelity darkness. Walking Wounded by Frayle Frayle draws their unique sound from a wide spectrum of influences — combining the crushing weight of Sleep and Black Sabbath with the delicate melancholy of Portishead and Björk. With hints of Kyuss-esque stoner rock, the result is a sound that feels both ancient and modern — music for the night sky, as the band puts it. Following their critically acclaimed releases Skin & Sorrow (2022) and 1692 (2020), Walking Wounded continues Frayle’s journey into the emotional void, exploring themes of pain, resilience, and ritual healing through doom-laced storytelling. And if that’s not enough to get you spellbound, Frayle is set to bring their ritual live experience to the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest later this year, where fans can witness their hypnotic power firsthand. The band will also be touring across Europe this summer with stops in the Czech Republic, Germany, and the Netherlands. Upcoming Tour Dates: Jul 25 – Grog Shop, Cleveland Heights, OH Aug 6 – Pevnov Josefov, Jaroměř, Czech Republic Aug 11 – Helios 37, Cologne, Germany Aug 12 – Nachtleben, Frankfurt, Germany Aug 16 – Turmzimmer @ Uebel & Gefährlich, Hamburg, Germany Aug 17 – Patronaat, Haarlem, Netherlands Oct 11 – Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest https://www.hubcityevents.com/events/tennessee-metal-devastation-music-fest-2025-10-11-2025 For fans of: Sleep, Portishead, Björk, Kyuss, Black SabbathGenres: Doom, Alternative Rock, Stoner Rock, Witch DoomFrayle online: frayleband.com Stay tuned, stay heavy, and prepare for Frayle to pull you deeper into the abyss with “Walking Wounded.” #Frayle #WalkingWounded #NapalmRecords #DoomMetal #StonerRock #WitchDoom #ClevelandMetal #MetalDevastationFest #SupportUndergroundMetal Less

Photo credit: Mariah Berg American black metal stalwarts Abigail Williams have unveiled a towering new single, "No Less Than Death," marking the final and climactic chapter of their long-anticipated studio album, A Void Within Existence. The track, clocking in at just over nine minutes, is now streaming with a powerful lyric video via Agonia Records’ official YouTube channel: Watch here. Slated for international release on July 18th, A Void Within Existence is the band’s first full-length since 2019’s critically acclaimed Walk Beyond the Dark. The album signals a bold leap forward in Abigail Williams’ ever-evolving sonic journey, blending melodic fury with atmospheric desolation and existential weight. It pushes the band’s sound further into extremes—both musically and emotionally. Produced by frontman Ken Sorceron and mixed by the highly respected Dave Otero (Aborted, Akhlys), the album showcases a lineup firing on all cylinders. Behind the drum kit is the masterful Mike Heller (Fear Factory, Ghost Bath), whose precise-yet-chaotic performance serves as a backbone for the album’s expansive and emotionally rich compositions. Lyrically, A Void Within Existence is steeped in introspection and metaphysical inquiry. Tracks like “Still Nights” and “No Less Than Death” delve into identity, loss, and distorted memory, evoking surreal dreamscapes and fractured realities. Songs such as “Embrace The Chasm” and “Life, Disconnected” touch upon cosmic nihilism, confronting listeners with emotional intensity and visionary dread. “This record was born in the quiet hours, when everything felt hollow,” says Sorceron. “A Void Within Existence isn’t just a title — it’s a feeling I couldn’t shake while writing. There’s a loneliness threaded through these songs that came from somewhere deeper than I expected. The world outside was falling apart, and in a way, so was the one inside. I wanted to push beyond the limits we explored on Walk Beyond the Dark. Sonically, emotionally, spiritually — nothing was off-limits.” Sorceron continues: “I produced the album to stay close to that vision, and with Dave Otero on the mix and Mike Heller behind the kit, everything came to life exactly how I heard it in my head — raw, vast, and crushing. This is a record about absence. About peeling away what isn’t real — examining the void left behind. If there's anything left after that — maybe it’s the truth. Maybe it's just the void. Either way, this is the most honest I’ve ever been. A Void Within Existence is more than an album; it’s a crucible — a journey through the fire where only shadow and silence remain.” Now entering their third decade as a band, Abigail Williams continues to reshape the black metal landscape. With a redefined lineup—Ken Sorceron (vocals, guitars), Vance Valenzuela (Vale of Pnath, guitars), John Porada (ex-Nachtmystium, ex-Wolvhammer, bass), and Mike Heller (drums)—the band embraces their most ambitious and emotionally devastating work to date. The record is visually anchored by stunning artwork from Eliran Kantor (Testament, Bloodbath), which captures the album’s themes of inner ruin and existential mythos. With A Void Within Existence, Abigail Williams not only solidify their legacy—they transcend it. For fans of Wolves in the Throne Room, Emperor, and Akercocke, this album is not to be missed. Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Celtic Hills Unleashes New Single “METALDAYS” and Welcomes Drummer Luka Stone to the Ranks The flames of European heavy metal roar even louder as Italian power metal warriors Celtic Hills release their thunderous new single “METALDAYS”, a rousing battle cry and the first taste of their upcoming full-length album Övervinna en Förlust, due later this year via Elevate Records. But the band isn't stopping there — they're also excited to announce a powerful new addition to their lineup: American drummer Luka Stone has officially joined the fold. The new single, now streaming worldwide (listen here), captures everything fans have come to love about Celtic Hills — melodic grandeur, galloping rhythms, and mythic storytelling rooted in the culture and history of their homeland in Northern Italy. Produced by Jonathan Vanderbilt and mixed/mastered by Noel Sommerkamp, “METALDAYS” bridges the raw energy of classic heavy metal with a modern edge, evoking the epic spirit of bands like Manowar and Gamma Ray. But perhaps the most exciting development is behind the drum kit. The band recently welcomed Luka Stone, a seasoned and versatile drummer hailing from Tampa, California, whose musical roots span both continents and genres. Luka began writing and recording at just 12 years old, and by 15 was already tracking demos. Over the years, he has lent his talents to a variety of U.S.-based bands, including Stick Fish, Beyond Burial (southern metal), and The Gideon Press, with whom he released a full-length album via Tate Music Group and performed showcases in Nashville. Luka’s international résumé also includes collaborations with Kee Marcello (ex-Europe guitarist, The Final Countdown) and years spent as a session player and touring musician across Europe. After a brief hiatus serving as a youth pastor in Indiana, he returned full-time to music, bringing passion and precision to every performance. Frontman Jonathan Vanderbilt says: “Luka is the right guy at the right time. His skills and musical insight will help us push our sound to new heights—without losing the epic spirit Celtic Hills are known for.” The band is currently in pre-production for Övervinna en Förlust, the highly anticipated follow-up to their 2022 release Huldufolk, which was named “Best Metal Album” by Metal Pedia. With a reinvigorated lineup and the force of “METALDAYS” leading the charge, Celtic Hills is poised for a triumphant ascent in 2026 and beyond.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE REAPING ASMODEIA RETURNS WITH DARK NEW SINGLE “SANCTUARY OF POISON” — OUT AUGUST 1ST VIA BLOOD BLAST DISTRIBUTION FFO: Despised Icon, The Black Dahlia Murder, The Acacia StrainGenre: Technical DeathcoreLabel: Blood Blast DistributionRelease Date: August 1, 2025 Minneapolis, MN – Technical deathcore juggernauts Reaping Asmodeia are back with a venomous new offering, “Sanctuary of Poison,” dropping August 1, 2025 via Blood Blast Distribution. The single marks the second in a trilogy of releases the band has meticulously crafted, following their punishing previous track, “Shattered Leviathan.” Produced by the band themselves and brought to sonic life by a stellar production team—including Adam Tucker (drum engineering at Signaturetone Recording), Mike Byrne (bass engineering at Transient Audio), and Daniel Koppy (vocal production and engineering)—the single was mixed and mastered by Zack Ohren at Castle Ultimate (Suffocation, All Shall Perish). “Sanctuary of Poison was written from a different perspective within the band,” says drummer Daniel Koppy. “Not only was it conceptualized to be a counterpoint to our previous single, but we wanted to explore a darker and more groove-oriented sonic element by utilizing the 9-string register more heavily, all while staying true to our technical roots.” The new single arrives after a period of reinvigoration for the band. Following their acclaimed 2021 release “Darkened Infinity” via Prosthetic Records—which saw Reaping Asmodeia share the stage with genre giants like Born of Osiris, Cryptopsy, Abysmal Dawn, Origin, and Signs of the Swarm—2024 brought a renewed spark to their lineup. With the return of original bassist Jakub Kingery and the addition of new lead vocalist Eric Keyes, the band enters a new chapter full of creative energy and intensity. “We are thrilled to welcome Eric Keyes as the vocalist of Reaping Asmodeia,” continues Koppy. “Eric has been a longtime friend and a staple in the Minnesota metal scene. For those who’ve caught our recent shows, the on-stage chemistry is undeniable. With Eric and Jakub onboard, the energy is electric and the creativity is flowing freely.” Accompanied by a visually gripping music video, “Sanctuary of Poison” promises a deeper dive into the band’s evolving sound—more dynamic, more melodic, and just as unrelenting. “Sanctuary of Poison” drops August 1st on all streaming platforms. Brace yourself for a fresh wave of technical brutality.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SKULL FUCKERS INCORPORATED Unleash “House of Strangulation” — A Relentless and Personal Industrial Metal Onslaught Follow-Up to 2023's “First Penetration” Drops August 9, 2025 via Satyrn StudiosFirst Single (Title Track) Out July 9, 2025 Industrial metal renegades Skull Fuckers Incorporated (aka S.F. Incorporated for censorship purposes) return in 2025 with their most personal and punishing release to date: House of Strangulation, the explosive follow-up to their 2023 comeback album First Penetration. The new full-length album drops August 9, 2025 via Satyrn Studios, with the lead single — the pulverizing title track — arriving July 9, 2025. "House of Strangulation" isn’t just a song — it’s a reckoning. Born from betrayal, fueled by rage, and driven by truth, this track tears open the trauma of false accusations, a wrongful arrest, and a near life-destroying lie. The band channels that real-life nightmare into a sonic onslaught of industrial fury and brutal catharsis, laced with authentic audio from the event that nearly ended everything — but ultimately ended in justice served. “House of Strangulation is more than an album — it's a statement that we’re not done. We never were.”– Jay Reiter, producer With a sound that cuts like rusted steel and grooves like a machine possessed, S.F. Incorporated brings their signature chaos to a new level — fusing harsh electronics, distorted guitars, and raw emotion into one unforgettable experience. For fans of Ministry, Static-X, and Nine Inch Nails, this release delivers dystopian heaviness with soul-scarring honesty. Paired with the bone-crushing production of Jay Reiter, House of Strangulation doesn’t just make noise — it tells the truth. Known for their macabre theatrical live shows and underground cult status, Skull Fuckers Incorporated are no strangers to controversy — but this time, it’s personal. Enter the house. Hear the truth. Feel the fury.

Bay Area thrash juggernauts NEFARIOUS have just dropped their blistering third single and title track, “ADDICTED TO POWER,” along with a fierce new performance video that captures the band’s raw intensity in full force. The track arrives as the focus point of their highly anticipated debut full-length album, Addicted to Power, due out July 18, 2025 via Relentless “Metal” Records, with vinyl collectors’ editions available through Hectic/Bleeding Priest Records. 📺 Watch the official video here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="daP2dA4oWWo"]🎧 Stream the single: https://nefariousband.bandcamp.com/track/addicted-to-power A Supergroup of Thrash Royalty NEFARIOUS features a formidable all-star lineup: Katon W. De Pena (HIRAX) – Vocals Rick Hunolt (EXODUS, DIEHUMANE) – Guitar Doug Piercy (HEATHEN, ANVIL CHORUS) – Guitar Tom Gears (BLIND ILLUSION, ANCIENT MARINER) – Bass Will Carroll (DEATH ANGEL) – Drums This elite unit of seasoned metal veterans channels decades of thrash legacy into something completely ferocious and unapologetically current. The Song: A Rallying Cry Against Corruption “ADDICTED TO POWER” is a razor-sharp, politically charged anthem built on explosive riffs, relentless grooves, and a sense of urgent rebellion. Lyrically, the song rips into the insatiable greed for control that poisons societies, giving voice to the disillusioned and the enraged. With Hunolt and Piercy delivering a twin-axe onslaught of classic Bay Area riffage, De Pena’s scathing vocals up front, Gears’ thundering low end, and Carroll’s precision pummeling behind the kit, NEFARIOUS have crafted a song that feels both timeless and totally vital. The track was recorded across Subterranean Studio in Oakland and Pyramid Studio in San Francisco, and mixed by Damien Rasmussen of Smoke And Mirrors Productions. A Video That Bleeds Grit and Fury Filmed at Soundwave Studios in Oakland, the video for “Addicted to Power” showcases NEFARIOUS in their rawest form — loud, aggressive, and bursting with pure thrash energy. It’s not about gimmicks — it’s about power, performance, and pounding your chest with conviction. The Band Speaks “I’m so honored to be with this amazing group of dudes,” says guitarist Rick Hunolt. “It’s long overdue, and I’m confident you guys will love it as much as we do. You, our metal brothers and sisters, deserve it. See you on the road!” Frontman Katon W. De Pena adds, “We’re not a band. We are a gang ready to crush skulls and make eardrums bleed… Necks will be sore!” Guitarist Doug Piercy concludes, “Let’s get ready to rage! We’re stoked to finally release this stuff — it’s been under wraps for a while. More insane videos and shows are coming soon!” Live Debut Announced NEFARIOUS will celebrate the album’s release with a live debut show at the Addicted to Power album-release party on Saturday, July 19, 2025, at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco. Expect mayhem. With Addicted to Power, NEFARIOUS are not only honoring the legacy of thrash — they’re weaponizing it for a new generation. No frills. No filler. Just pure, unrelenting thrash metal warfare. Don’t just listen — submit to the power.
