FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SEPTARIAN UNLEASH HORROR-FUELED METAL ASSAULT WITH NEW SINGLE "PRIME TIME IS KILLING TIME"

Alabama Heavy Metal Force Explores the Twisted Mind of Freddy Krueger in a Brutal, Melodic Tribute to Horror's Most Iconic Nightmare

Southern metal outfit SEPTARIAN has unleashed its latest single, "Prime Time Is Killing Time," released October 31, 2026, and now available on all major streaming platforms. Bringing together the sinister world of horror cinema and the uncompromising power of heavy metal, the track takes listeners inside the twisted mind of one of horror's most infamous characters, Freddy Krueger.

Rather than approaching the story from the perspective of Freddy's victims, Septarian takes a darker route, inviting listeners inside the twisted consciousness of the monster himself. Driven by crushing riffs, aggressive rhythms, and haunting melodic passages, "Prime Time Is Killing Time" captures the menacing atmosphere and relentless intensity that make horror and heavy metal such a natural combination.

The band explains:

"Prime Time Is Killing Time takes listeners inside the twisted mind of one of horror's most iconic killers, Freddy Krueger. Rather than telling the story through the eyes of his victims, we wanted to explore the nightmare from the monster's perspective. It's sinister, relentless, and captures everything we love about horror and heavy metal."

Emerging from the Alabama underground, Septarian has built its identity around unapologetically heavy music and emotionally charged songwriting. Drawing from the intensity of heavy metal and melodic death metal, the band combines punishing guitar work, haunting melodies, and powerful vocal performances into a sound that balances aggression with emotional depth.

Fronted by Megan Hudson, whose vocal delivery moves between raw aggression and haunting vulnerability, Septarian explores the darker corners of the human experience, including trauma, survival, deception, and transformation.

The lineup features Josh Cunningham on rhythm guitar, John Martin on bass, Kenneth Galloway on drums, and Nick Thiessen on lead guitar. Together, the five musicians bring years of shared history and chemistry to a sound that refuses to be confined by convention.

With previous material including "Gravity" and the continued evolution of their songwriting, Septarian demonstrates a willingness to explore different creative territories while maintaining the heaviness and emotional honesty at the core of their identity.

"Prime Time Is Killing Time" continues that approach, pairing the band's crushing musical foundation with a concept rooted in horror culture. Released on Halloween, the single arrives at the perfect time for fans of dark storytelling, cinematic horror, and uncompromising heavy metal.

Independently operated and firmly rooted in the Southern metal underground, Septarian isn't interested in chasing trends or manufacturing darkness. Their music gives a voice to the subjects many would rather leave buried, delivering it with intensity, conviction, and a distinctly human edge.

For fans of: Lamb of God, Arch Enemy, Sepultura.
