FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HZ Theory Answer “The Call” With New Progressive Metal Single Out April 1, 2026 For Fans Of: Circus Maximus, Myrath, EvergreyRelease Date: April 1, 2026Label: Independent via DistroKidPresave: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/hztheory/the-call Spain’s rising progressive metal force HZ Theory returns with their new single “The Call,” set for release on April 1, 2026. Blending melodic progressive metal with modern heaviness and cinematic atmosphere, the track marks a defining moment for the band as they fully step into their own creative identity. Formed in 2023 following the dissolution of Spanish metal act DarkCrown, HZ Theory brings together seasoned musicians from across the national metal scene, including former members of DarkCrown, Kancerbero, Anairt, and PurpleSnake. The project was built with a clear mission: push heavier, more expansive songwriting driven by technical precision and strong melodic hooks. During the band’s early phase, founding member Josema Moreno (ex-DarkCrown) stepped away for personal reasons. For the recording of the band’s first two singles, HZ Theory collaborated with renowned drummer Emilio Kanina, whose powerful and dynamic performance helped shape the band’s evolving sound. “With The Call, we wanted to move beyond reinterpretations and fully establish our own identity. The song tells the story of an oppressed people awaiting liberation through prophecy, using mythological imagery as a reflection of real world social injustice, control, and resistance.” Musically, “The Call” balances aggressive riffing, layered melodies, and progressive structures, pulling influence from extreme metal, progressive metal, hard rock, thrash, and classic metal. Lyrically, the band continues to explore themes of social injustice, collective struggle, and resistance through symbolic storytelling rather than direct slogans, giving the track both emotional weight and narrative depth. Following their earlier reinterpretation of a well-known 90s disco hit, HZ Theory now plants their flag firmly in original territory with “The Call,” signaling the direction of what is to come. With professionally produced releases available across all major streaming platforms and a growing international presence, the band is positioning itself as a serious new contender in the modern progressive metal landscape.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIABOLIS Unleashes New Lineup, Special Guest Vocalist and Pop-Infused Surprise at 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition Connecticut’s relentless metal force DIABOLIS is coming in hot with a revamped lineup and a sharp left turn for fans at the 6th Annual New England Tattoo Exposition, running April 17 to 19, 2026 at the Mohegan Sun Expo Center in Uncasville, Connecticut. The band storms the stage Saturday, April 18 at approximately 8:30 PM, unveiling a reimagined pop/R&B crossover track featuring guest vocalist Violet Dusk alongside new guitarist Casey Carr. The track takes a modern mainstream hit and throws it into the fire with DIABOLIS’ heavier sensibilities, letting both worlds collide. Fans can expect almost all the songs from the band’s latest EP, a selection of other new tracks previously played live, and a revamped classic from the DIABOLIS archives. Casey Carr has been working extremely hard learning the material and making it his own, bringing new life and energy to the DIABOLIS arsenal that new and old fans alike will embrace. It’s shaping up to be a full weekend of tattoo culture, artistry, and live performance. In partnership with convention co-owner Tom Ringwalt (Guitar Center and St. Jude collaborator) and the broader tattoo community including Ink Master Season 2 champion Steve Tefft, DIABOLIS will help debut a one-of-a-kind Schecter Blackout electric guitar branded with the New England Tattoo Exposition, DIABOLIS, and Guitar Center logos. The custom graphics for the guitar are being handled by William Lynch of Century Sign (Hamden, CT), with his logo also featured on the instrument. The guitar will be signed by the band, guest artists, and special celebrity guests, with proceeds benefiting St. Jude Children’s Hospital after expenses. Special doors for the DIABOLIS concert open at 8:00 PM, and attendees who use the code “DIABOLIS” at the door can knock the standard $25 admission down to $15. The convention itself opens at 12:00 PM on Saturday, April 18. DIABOLIS will also be fully posted up all weekend with a merch booth that includes exclusive items, a CD listening station, and recent live footage for new fans to get caught up. The current lineup of Voxx (vocals), J-SINZ (drums), ~D~ (bass), and Casey Carr (guitar) is tightening the screws on the band’s sound, pushing harder on both old favorites and new material. Fans will notice the upgrade the second it hits the PA. On the competitive front, DIABOLIS is confirmed as a contender for the Jam At The Dam Festival Battle, with the exact date pending. The battle takes place on the two Saturdays leading into the festival. DIABOLIS will release a dedicated press announcement once the competition date is confirmed. This year’s Jam At The Dam Festival runs Friday, July 24 and Saturday, July 25, with the 2026 lineup yet to be announced. Last year’s stage hosted Steelheart, Warrant, Firehouse, George Lynch, Dokken, and Ace Frehley, so expectations for this year are already running high.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metalized Magazine Features Metal Devastation PR Clients in Massive Megadeth Issue! Metal heads, take note: the latest issue of Metalized Magazine is a powerhouse of metal coverage, featuring Megadeth on the cover, major features on Exodus, Powerwolf, and many more, and a stacked lineup of interviews and album reviews spotlighting some of the most intense acts in underground and global heavy metal. Metal Devastation PR clients dominate the pages with in-depth interviews, album reviews, and exclusive insights into their creative processes. Highlights include: Küntsquäd – Described as “crusty death metal,” the band’s female-led guttural vocals and relentless riff-based chaos earned praise for their genre-defying sound. Frontwoman Paula shared, “We aim to offer something different—extreme metal that doesn’t fit a specific niche.” Following four singles from Satans Cock, the band plans an Australian tour and new material for 2027. Review Summary: Blastbeats, black metal-inspired interludes, and stifling riff passages make this project a standout in the extreme metal underground. The Trousers – Hungarian rock veterans deliver raw, unpolished garage rock on Necessary Evil (8/10). Frontman Zoltán Kőváry explained that the album draws inspiration from Sartre’s Hell is other people, blending old-school rock energy with deeply personal themes, including a tribute to his late brother on the track “Drive Me to the Stars.” Review Summary: Comparisons to The Rolling Stones, MC5, and The Hellacopters highlight its raw, high-octane rock ’n’ roll vibe, fueled with gasoline in the veins. Mass Punishment – The American groove/thrash outfit made waves with Proving Grounds Devastation (8/10), showcasing symphonic elements and Tolkien-inspired storytelling. Formed by Iraq war veteran Chris “Axe” Milos, the band emphasizes the power of live performance. Notably, Phil Demmel (ex-Machine Head/Kerry King) contributed lead guitar solos on “A Thousand Years of Darkness.” Review Summary: The album blends angelic vocals with symphonic, fantasy-driven metal, delivering an intricate yet aggressive sonic assault. Sons of Hades – Greek metallers fuse old-school heavy metal, black metal, and thrash on Tombs of the Blind Dead, creating a “nightmare soundtrack” influenced by classic horror films and literature. The band prioritizes atmosphere and emotion over perfection, crafting an experience that’s both terrifying and electrifying. Review Summary: Aggressive riffs, dark atmospheres, and horror-inspired storytelling make this a must-listen for fans of blackened thrash. Additional album reviews in the issue include: Killerwitch – Palace of the Dragon (8/10) – Maltese power metal with strong riffs, varied tempos, and commanding vocals. Katharein – Katharein (8/10) – Romanian heavy metal with modern elements, including vocals reminiscent of Rush. Cruentus – End Without End (7/10) – Swedish blackened death metal, fast-paced, turbulent, and aggressive. Balistic – The Parsons Tale (8/10) – Progressive/symphonic metal exploring the Seven Deadly Sins with conceptual storytelling. Waves Without Sound – Lost (7/10) – Atmospheric, technical progressive rock/metal from Sydney, drawing inspiration from Opeth and Dream Theater. “Metalized Magazine continues to be a beacon for the global metal community,” said Zach Moonshine of Metal Devastation PR. “This issue not only honors legendary acts like Megadeth and Exodus but also shines a spotlight on the next generation of extreme, underground, and progressive metal talent.” Metal fans worldwide are encouraged to grab a copy and immerse themselves in a curated experience of riffs, chaos, and raw metal energy.
