Hallows Eve’s Tommy Stewart Talks New Music, Old School Roots, and Keeping It Real on The Zach Moonshine Show The latest episode of The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio delivered exactly what underground metal fans live for… a raw, unfiltered conversation with a true lifer. Tommy Stewart of Hallows Eve, Black Doomba Records, and Tommy Stewart’s Dyerwulf joined the show for a deep dive into his latest work, his process, and a lifetime in heavy music. Right out of the gate, the conversation had that classic “figuring out the tech while talking shop” vibe… the kind of real-world chaos that makes live interviews feel alive. From Discord confusion to audio setups running through mixers and compressors, it was a reminder that even seasoned veterans are still navigating the ever-changing digital landscape. No polished corporate nonsense here… just two guys making it work and getting straight to the good stuff. The Meaning Behind “My Politics Are My Own” The centerpiece of the discussion was Dyerwulf’s new single, “My Politics Are My Own.” And here’s the kicker… despite the title, it’s not about politics in the way people assume. Stewart made it clear: the song is about not engaging in the noise. In a world where everyone’s shouting opinions online, he’s choosing the opposite lane. Keep it private. Keep it personal. No flag-waving, no debates, no soapbox. That message, ironically, stirred up mixed reactions. Some playlists rejected the track purely based on the word “politics” without digging deeper. That says more about the current climate than the song itself. Stewart leaned into it though. If anything, the reaction proved the point. At its core, the track is about drawing a line. Not taking sides… just stepping out of the circus entirely. A Raw Recording Process That Hits Hard If you’re expecting overproduced, polished-to-death modern metal… this ain’t that. The recording process for the track was as stripped down as it gets. Stewart laid down what was meant to be a scratch bass track… and ended up keeping it. One take. Full force. So aggressive it literally tore up his fingers mid-recording. From there, drummer Joseph Dingle stepped in and nailed his parts in a single take as well. No endless rehearsals, no overthinking. Just musicians who know their craft showing up ready to deliver. Even the vocals followed that same instinct-driven approach. Lyrics written on the fly, recorded with minimal passes. Stewart described it like pulling something already written out of the air… one of those rare moments where everything just clicks. Bass-Driven Doom With a Twist Dyerwulf continues to carve its own lane with a bass, drums, and vocals setup. No guitars. No filler. Just thick, heavy low-end and rhythm. To shake things up, Stewart brought in Caleb Riser of Black Moon Cult to handle a lead bass section. That’s right… lead bass. And it works. Instead of competing for space, the two bass styles complement each other. One holds down the foundation, the other adds texture and chaos on top. It’s unconventional, but that’s the whole point. Old School Mentality Meets Modern Reality One thing that stood out through the entire conversation… Stewart doesn’t chase trends. Never has. He sees his entire career as one long songwriting journey, whether it’s Hallows Eve, Dyerwulf, or anything in between. The names change, the lineup changes, but the core stays the same. That mindset carries into how he handles business too. Contracts aren’t about control… they’re just agreements. Plans. Clarity. Simple and old-school. And while the industry keeps evolving with new platforms like Discord, Twitch, and beyond, Stewart approaches it with curiosity instead of resistance. He’s learning, adapting, but not losing himself in the process. The Atlanta Scene and Those Classic Warehouse Days The conversation took a nostalgic turn diving into the Atlanta scene. Back in the day, rehearsal spaces were packed with bands who would eventually become major names. We’re talking about shared walls with bands like Mastodon, The Black Crowes, and Jackyl… all grinding it out in the same buildings, feeding off each other’s energy. That kind of environment shaped the sound and the attitude. Loud, competitive, and full of personality. If your band was too loud for the room next door… that was a badge of honor. Vinyl, Collecting, and Letting Go Like any true lifer, Stewart has a deep connection to vinyl. Not just for listening, but for collecting. But here’s the twist… he’s also lost massive collections more than once. Walked away from everything during a breakup. Lost another chunk to a flood. And his attitude? It’s just stuff. You can always get more. That perspective hits different in a world where people obsess over collecting. For Stewart, the music matters more than the object… even if he still appreciates a rare pressing when it shows up. Festivals, Label Work, and What’s Next Outside of recording, Stewart’s staying busy with Black Doomba Records, supporting multiple festivals, and working on upcoming releases… including new material from Megaton Communion. Dyerwulf’s next full-length is in progress, with a target window somewhere down the line. No rush. The focus is on making it right, not just making it fast. Final Thoughts This wasn’t just another interview… it was a snapshot of what it means to stick with metal for the long haul. No gimmicks. No trend-chasing. Just honesty, experience, and a willingness to keep evolving without losing your roots. And if there’s one takeaway from the whole thing, it’s this… you don’t have to shout the loudest to be heard. Sometimes the strongest move is stepping back and letting the music speak for itself. Crank it loud.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HELLRAZOR, KUF, ANTIMOZDEBEAST, HEXJAKT, MY DARK FATE & NOCTURNAL CEREMONY FEATURED IN NEW ISSUE OF ROCK HARD MAGAZINE Issue includes Black Label Society on the cover alongside major international metal coverage Jackson, TN – Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple roster artists are featured in the latest issue of Rock Hard Magazine, one of the most respected international heavy music publications. This month’s issue is led by a cover feature on Black Label Society, with extensive coverage inside spotlighting key underground and rising heavy acts from across the global metal scene, including several Metal Devastation PR clients. The issue features full reviews, interviews, and ratings that highlight the continued strength, diversity, and evolution of modern heavy music. HELLRAZOR – Wings of Deliverance Rating: 7.5 Rock Hard Magazine describes the album as a fluid and unpredictable journey where “melodic rock tradition and epic power metal elegance converge with progressive experimentation.” The review continues: “Listening to Hellrazor’s debut album means surrendering to unconventional sounds that alternate between rough passages and enveloping moments, delicacy and harshness, harmony and dissonance.” The magazine praises the record’s refusal to conform, noting its “fascinating, colorful aura” and its ability to remain “elusive yet deeply intriguing” across thirteen tracks. KUF – Chapter 1 Rating: 7.5 KUF’s debut EP is highlighted for its blend of vintage influence and modern heaviness. Rock Hard notes the band’s ability to bridge eras, stating: “The distinctly retro vein that permeates Dance of Deceit adds real value, blending classic hard rock and doom with an earthquaking stride.” The review also emphasizes standout moments across Final Descent and Quicksand Serenade, adding: “The right balance between tradition and contemporary flair results in a remarkably high and effective level of quality.” ANTIMOZDEBEAST – The Vagrant Unkempt Grave Interview Feature The industrial metal project led by Gabriel Palacio is featured in a deep interview exploring its philosophy, creative process, and lyrical themes. Palacio describes his artistic approach as constantly evolving: “My goal is to create a new or different style with each release, as if writing an ongoing novel. The premise stays the same, but the dialogue keeps evolving.” On inspiration and depth, he adds: “I read a lot of philosophy and literature — from Dostoevsky to Voltaire. Abundance of knowledge goes hand in hand with life experience.” The interview highlights a project built on experimentation, introspection, and unfiltered creative expression. HEXJAKT – Blessing of the Damned Interview Feature The Swedish doom trio discusses identity, emotional weight, and the philosophy behind their music. On their name, they explain: “The Swedish word hexjakt sounds harsh and severe. Its meaning refers to the interrogation methods used against alleged witches — exploring darkness and the occult naturally follows.” On emotional authenticity in performance, the band states: “To leave room for genuine emotion, you must stay anchored to something real. The voice must become the darkest tone — music should be a natural extension of what you feel.” The feature reinforces Hexjakt’s commitment to long-form, atmospheric doom rooted in existential themes and raw emotional delivery. MY DARK FATE – Paint It, Black Rating: 7.5 Austrian band My Dark Fate returns with a bold reinterpretation of The Rolling Stones classic Paint It Black. Rock Hard Magazine highlights the band’s stylistic transformation following their 2022 release No Prophecy, noting a shift toward a more gothic and decadent sonic identity. The addition of vocalists Marina and Stefan is praised for creating a striking duality: “The arrival of two new singers brings a strong contrast between vocal styles, enriched by Scandinavian death-metal influences.” The review concludes that the track confirms the band’s interpretative strength while pointing toward an exciting new creative direction. Website: mydarkfate.com NOCTURNAL CEREMONY – Obsidian Rating: 8 Veteran Norwegian extreme metal force Nocturnal Ceremony returns with Obsidian, a long-awaited album described as dark, dense, and uncompromising. Rock Hard characterizes the record as: “Dark and impenetrable, a reflection of negativity that exorcises inner demons through rage, violence, and ferocity.” Musically, the album is rooted in blackened death metal, delivering “lethal riffs, extreme vocals, and relentless intensity” across fourteen tracks with no reprieve. Link: linktr.ee/nocturnalceremony Closing From gothic reinterpretations and industrial experimentation to doom, blackened death metal, and progressive heaviness, this issue of Rock Hard Magazine captures a wide spectrum of the global metal underground. With Black Label Society leading the cover story, the edition stands as a powerful snapshot of heavy music’s continuing evolution across generations and borders. Metal Devastation PR remains committed to pushing forward the artists who keep metal raw, fearless, and uncompromising.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ETHEREAL DARKNESS UNLEASHES HAUNTING NEW VIDEO “GONE WITH THE TIDE” Belgium’s rising melodic death/doom force, Ethereal Darkness, has released their powerful new video for “Gone With The Tide,” available now. The track serves as a defining moment from their latest album Echoes, capturing the band’s signature blend of crushing heaviness, atmospheric depth, and emotional weight. Formed in 2018 by guitarist and vocalist Lars, Ethereal Darkness began as a solo endeavor before quickly evolving into a full-fledged band with a clear and uncompromising vision. Their 2019 debut Smoke and Shadows made serious waves in the underground, setting the stage for what would become a steadily rising trajectory through the European metal scene. Over the years, the band has brought their immersive sound to major festival stages including Dark Mental (DK), Alcatraz (BE), and Darken The Moon (BE), sharing the spotlight with heavyweights like Behemoth, Arch Enemy, Insomnium, and Harakiri for the Sky. With the addition of lead guitarist Zjesse in 2024, Ethereal Darkness expanded their sonic palette even further, sharpening their melodic edge while digging deeper into darker, more atmospheric territory. The result is Echoes, a record that has already earned widespread praise for its balance of intensity and atmosphere, solidifying the band as one of Belgium’s most promising forces in modern melodic death metal. “Gone With The Tide” stands as a centerpiece of that evolution. “Gone With the Tide was the song that showed us what this album would become. It set the tone, the weight, and the direction. A lyrics video felt like an honest way to share it, the story deserves to be read as much as it deserves to be heard.” The new video brings that vision to life, offering fans a deeper connection to the song’s lyrical themes while immersing them in the band’s dark, melancholic soundscape. For fans of Insomnium, Be'lakor, and Harakiri for the Sky, Ethereal Darkness delivers a gripping experience that hits hard and lingers long after the final note fades. “Gone With The Tide” is out now. Turn it up, read along, and let it pull you under. Follow Ethereal Darkness for more updates and upcoming announcements.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SKULLCHURN UNCOVERS RAW DEATH METAL WITH “OF DEATH AND REBIRTH (DEMO 2026)” Presave / Stream: Bandcamp | YouTube April 24, 2026 – From the shadows of the European underground, Skullchurn rises to claim its place in the annals of death metal with their ferocious debut demo, Of Death And Rebirth (Demo 2026). Forged from the bloodline of Dutch and Czech musicians who have traversed the realms of Burial Remains, Grim Fate, Massive Assault, and Symbtomy, Skullchurn delivers a sound that is raw, relentless, and unapologetically old school. Blurring the lines between decay and brutality, the four-track demo is a masterclass in unpolished aggression. Razor-sharp riffs collide with relentless drumming, while production that favors grit over gloss evokes the feeling of discovering a long-lost tape from the earliest days of death metal. Listeners will find themselves trapped in a nightmarish landscape where violence, horror, and rebirth fuse into one suffocating experience. Lyrically, Skullchurn channels surreal horror, spinning visions of death and transformation that feel ripped from decaying cult cinema reels. Each track is a cinematic fragment—violent, dreamlike, and drenched in dread—appealing directly to fans of Possessed, Death, and Necrovore. “Of Death And Rebirth delivers vile, old school death metal with a thrashy edge. Taking influences from the originators of the genre, from a time when death metal was raw and unpolished,” says the band. Mixed and mastered by Wim de Vries, this demo is a declaration: Skullchurn is here to remind the metal world that true death metal never dies—it mutates, decays, and comes back even heavier.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BRAINMAZE Unleashes New Single “Nightmare & Reality” – A Crushing Descent Into Inner Conflict Streaming: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/brainmaze/nightmare--reality After years spent forging his sound in the shadows, Bulgarian musician and visionary Ivan Shishkov continues the evolution of his solo project BRAINMAZE with the release of a powerful new single, “Nightmare & Reality.” Building on the dark foundation laid by his debut full-length When Your Demons Come, Shishkov pushes even deeper into the psychological abyss, delivering a track that blurs the line between illusion and truth, fear and self-awareness. If the debut album opened the door to the mind’s darker corners, “Nightmare & Reality” walks straight in and refuses to turn the lights on. More than a decade in the making, the BRAINMAZE project has always been rooted in persistence, late-night creation, and an unshakable drive to bring long-held ideas to life. Every composition begins at the core, built from bass-driven concepts that evolve into dense, aggressive, and emotionally charged soundscapes. “Nightmare & Reality” stands as a defining moment in that journey. With layered arrangements, heavy atmosphere, and a cinematic sense of tension, the track captures the fragile boundary where perception and reality collide. “This track represents that moment when you can no longer escape your own mind,” says Shishkov. “It’s about facing what’s real—even when it feels like a nightmare.” True to the BRAINMAZE vision, the project remains a global collaboration without borders. While Shishkov drives the concept, music, and creative direction, the sound is brought to life through an international network of musicians and production talent, reinforcing the project’s identity as a worldwide metal force built on pure creative freedom. “Nightmare & Reality” expands on the core themes of When Your Demons Come—internal struggle, identity, and confrontation with the subconscious—while sharpening the project’s sonic edge into something even more immersive and unrelenting. This isn’t just a single. It’s a psychological deep dive with teeth. “Nightmare & Reality” is now available on all major streaming platforms. About BRAINMAZE:BRAINMAZE is the solo project of Bulgarian artist Ivan Shishkov, blending aggressive metal with conceptual depth and cinematic atmosphere. Built over more than ten years of relentless work, the project explores the darkest corners of the human psyche while embracing a boundary-free, globally collaborative approach to music creation. Long live metal.
