The Haunted North Unleash “Savage Ghost” – Randy V Talks Origins, Heavy Hitters, and What’s Next on Metal Devastation Radio If you like your heavy with grit, groove, and zero plastic polish, this one hits like a hammer. On a recent episode of The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio, The Haunted North stormed in with their crushing new single “Savage Ghost”, and frontman Randy V pulled back the curtain on how this whole thing came together. The result is a band rooted in real history, real connections, and a sound that doesn’t chase trends, it bulldozes through them. “It’s like a freaking hammer” – The Sound of Savage Ghost Right out of the gate, the vibe was clear. This isn’t overproduced, copy-paste rock. This is weight. “It is smash your head… it’s like a freaking hammer, isn’t it?” That pretty much sums up Savage Ghost. Thick, groove-heavy riffs with a dark, almost cinematic feel. You can hear the DNA of classic heavy hitters, but it never feels like imitation. It feels lived-in. Heavy Hitters in the Mix: JD DeServio & Jeff Fabb One of the big talking points was the involvement of some serious players behind the scenes. Randy V broke it down: “JD jumped in… Jeff did the last two singles… these guys literally did their tracks and then jumped on a plane to LA to start rehearsing.” That kind of commitment shows up in the final product. The rhythm section alone gives Savage Ghost that undeniable punch, the kind that hits you in the chest and sticks. A Wild Origin Story You Can’t Make Up The Haunted North didn’t form the usual way. No Craigslist ad, no “hey let’s start a band” moment. This thing is built on what can only be called pure rock and roll fate. From gym meetups in Canada…To connections through Black Label Society circles…To a chance encounter with Layne Staley’s mother… Yeah, seriously. Randy V shared one of the most surreal moments: “I realized… that’s Layne Staley’s mom… and we ended up becoming really good friends.” That connection eventually led to the creation of music tied to tribute material, which snowballed into something much bigger. “It wasn’t coincidental… all that had to happen for us to meet.” You don’t script stuff like that. From One-Off Track to Full-Blown Band What started as a single turned into something else entirely. “He said, ‘What if I could get Jeff and JD to play on it?’ I said… ‘well, then I’d have to reconsider.’” That reconsideration turned into a full project, and now The Haunted North is building serious momentum. Influences: From European Metal to Grunge Darkness Randy V didn’t shy away from talking influences, and it paints a clear picture of where that sound comes from. “We were more into European metal… Priest, Schenker… then when everything shifted, the two bands that grabbed you… Soundgarden and Alice In Chains.” That blend explains a lot. You’ve got the precision and power of classic metal mixed with the mood and weight of early 90s darkness. And it shows. No Fake Emotion. No Industry BS. One of the real standout moments was Randy talking about authenticity in music. “People know when you’re… not real… when you actually felt it, they hear it.” That’s the difference between something that sounds good and something that sticks with you. The Haunted North leans hard into that second category. Gear Talk… Sort Of For the tone chasers out there, there were a few nuggets dropped, even if Randy laughed off being “the wrong guy” for full gear breakdowns. What we do know: Friedman amps are part of the tone equation Gibson-style guitars in the mix A serious, dialed-in setup from guitarist Sean “I know tones very well… if it sounds like shit, I’ll call it instantly.” Fair enough. What’s Next: Live Shows and More Releases The focus now is simple. Take this thing to the stage. “We’re hyper focused on getting out and playing live this summer.” Plans are pointing toward shows around Sturgis and beyond, with more content rolling out, including: The Bleed video gaining traction A new Savage Ghost lyric video using 30+ year old footage A growing catalog of heavy tracks like Medusa, 21 Grams, and The Beast The Haunted North Is Just Getting Started There’s something refreshing about a band that isn’t trying to fit into whatever the algorithm says is hot this week. The Haunted North is building this the old-school way: Real connections Real players Real stories Real heavy music And it shows in every riff. Listen Now The full episode featuring Randy V of The Haunted North, including the interview and a stacked lineup of new underground releases, is now available on Mixcloud via Metal Devastation Radio.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Awaiting Abigail Drop Cinematic New Single and Video “Funhouse” — A Dark Escape from Illusion and Control Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX — Texas hard rock heavyweights Awaiting Abigail return with their most cinematic and emotionally charged release yet, unveiling the brand new single and official music video “Funhouse.” The track pulls listeners into a psychological spiral of manipulation, distorted reality, and ultimately, liberation. “Funhouse” expands the band’s sound into darker, more theatrical territory while still carrying the grit, groove, and melodic punch that has defined their rapid rise in the modern hard rock scene. It’s heavy, tense, and built with the kind of atmosphere that lingers long after the final note hits. STORYLINE In “Funhouse,” Abigail Hill finds herself trapped in a toxic relationship that feels impossible to escape. Her reality twists into a carnival-like maze of emotional distortion… a funhouse built on lies, manipulation, and shifting perceptions where every reflection feels wrong and every path loops back into confusion. At the center of the illusion sits Brad, unknowingly stepping into a poker game he is not equipped to play. He is dealt a worthless hand by Abigail’s coven of sisters, a symbolic stack of chaos disguised as fate. A joker. Broken cards. Nothing real to hold onto. But the game is not what it seems. As the tension builds, Abigail makes her move. In a final turn of the table, she lays down her hand, revealing something unexpected hidden within the chaos. With the help of her sisters and the mystical guidance of her ally Jay, the illusion begins to fracture. The mirrors break. The distortions collapse. And for the first time, the exit becomes visible. What was once a trap transforms into a breakthrough. “Funhouse” becomes a story of reclaiming control, escaping manipulation, and stepping out of psychological captivity into freedom. Momentum Building The release follows a strong upward trajectory for Awaiting Abigail, whose breakout EP Bad Mind introduced their signature blend of heavy modern rock energy and melodic intensity. The band has quickly gained national attention, radio traction, and growing media support, establishing themselves as one of the most promising new forces in Texas rock. Their sound channels the emotional weight and power of acts like Halestorm, The Pretty Reckless, Evanescence, and In This Moment, while carving out a distinct identity driven by raw storytelling and high-impact performance. With major press features, growing radio presence, and a reputation for powerful live shows, Awaiting Abigail continue to build serious momentum in the hard rock world. Watch the Official Video “Funhouse” official music video is now streaming on YouTube:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="8IjGRtIG33I"] About Awaiting Abigail Formed in 2024 in the Dallas/Ft. Worth music scene, Awaiting Abigail blend heavy, modern hard rock instrumentation with soaring, emotionally driven vocals. Their music explores themes of struggle, empowerment, mental pressure, and personal transformation.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DIVINE MARTYR Unleashes Powerful Debut Single “Resistance” Ahead of Upcoming Symphonic Metal Album Presave/stream: https://hypeddit.com/divinemartyr/resistance Midwest, USA – Rising symphonic power metal force Divine Martyr steps forward with purpose and power, announcing their debut single “Resistance”, released December 19, 2025, as the first glimpse into their upcoming full-length album, due out mid-summer 2026. Blending cinematic orchestration with the driving force of modern metal, Divine Martyr crafts a sound that fans of Nightwish, Kamelot, and Epica will recognize immediately, yet the band is carving out its own lane with a deeper mission and a sharper sonic edge. At the center of it all is new vocalist Kassandra, whose operatic background and commanding presence elevate the band’s already massive sound into something truly immersive. “Resistance” is more than just a single. It is a statement. Built on layers of orchestration, crushing guitars, and emotionally charged vocals, the track dives headfirst into themes of struggle, identity, and perseverance. The band’s lyrics confront heavy topics like depression, addiction, and marginalization, delivering a message rooted in faith, restoration, and defiance against despair. From a production standpoint, Divine Martyr operates on a different level. Each track is constructed with 50 to 100 orchestral layers, originally composed as cinematic pieces before being fused with metal instrumentation. The band further pushes boundaries by incorporating Neural Resonance Theory and waveform synthesis techniques, aiming to create not just music, but a full sensory experience that resonates on both emotional and physical levels. Formed in 2016, Divine Martyr has undergone a steady evolution, refining their identity through lineup changes and creative shifts. After early releases like “Martyr’s Hymn” and the Trials EP, the band explored various vocal styles and arrangements before landing on their current direction. The arrival of Kassandra in spring 2025 marked a turning point, solidifying a renewed focus on a denser, more intentional symphonic and power metal sound. Now operating independently, the band is doubling down on its vision, building a global connection with fans of symphonic metal while staying true to its core message of hope, resilience, and faith. With “Resistance” setting the tone, Divine Martyr is preparing to deliver an album that promises both sonic масштаб and emotional depth when it arrives in summer 2026.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASERelease Date: May 15, 2026 AKABANE VULGARS ON STRONG BYPASS Unleash Raw Punk Fury with New EP Future Babies Tokyo, Japan – After two decades of relentless noise, sweat, and soul, Tokyo’s underground lifers AKABANE VULGARS ON STRONG BYPASS return with their latest EP Future Babies, set for release on May 15, 2026. Presave: https://found.ee/IoHSa8 Forged in 2005 by sisters Miki (bass) and Yumi (vocals/guitar) alongside longtime friend Kei (drums), the trio has built a reputation the old-school way, through grit, consistency, and a take-no-prisoners live show. Their sound hits like a busted amp in a back-alley club, fusing punk rock attitude with garage rock swagger and a shot of metallic edge for good measure. For fans of bands like Mannequin Pussy, Amyl and the Sniffers, and HotWax, Future Babies delivers a raw, unfiltered blast of energy rooted in bluesy riffs, garage grooves, and straight-up punk urgency. This isn’t some polished, overproduced studio trick. It’s loud, direct, and alive, just like it ought to be. The EP follows a milestone year for the band. In 2025, AKABANE VULGARS ON STRONG BYPASS celebrated their 20th anniversary, proving they’re not just survivors of the scene, they’re still setting it on fire. Future Babies reflects that journey, capturing both the scars and the fire that’s kept them moving forward since day one. Their resume reads like a road warrior’s diary. From tearing it up at SXSW 2012 to touring across the US, UK, Canada, and Australia, the band has carried their explosive live presence worldwide. Festival appearances include the Fuji Rock Festival pre-event in Japan, Canadian Music Week in Toronto, and their Nordic debut at Live at Heart in Örebro, Sweden in 2025, where they left audiences leveled. But this band isn’t about nostalgia. Their philosophy is simple and cuts deep. Punk isn’t just rebellion, it’s preservation. It’s about keeping voices alive that might otherwise get buried. That mindset bleeds through every riff, every lyric, and every chaotic, sweat-soaked performance. Future Babies arrives after a string of singles that have already started making noise on streaming platforms, setting the stage for a release that’s equal parts reflection and forward momentum. No label. No compromises. No filters. Just pure, instinct-driven punk rock from a band that’s been doing it their way since 2005. EP Title: Future BabiesRelease Date: May 15, 2026Genre: Punk Rock / Garage Rock / MetalLocation: Tokyo, Japan For press inquiries, interviews, or coverage, get in touch and don’t miss your chance to catch one of Tokyo’s most vital underground acts still doing it loud and honest.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THY ANTICHRIST IGNITE NEW ERA WITH “SCORPIO,” GLOBAL ART CONTEST, STEEL FEST APPEARANCE, AND SOUTH AMERICAN HEADLINING TOUR Thy Antichrist, the existentialist black metal force shaping extreme music since 1998, is stepping into a bold new chapter that goes far beyond a single release. Known for their raw philosophy, uncompromising sound, and underground dominance, the band is now aligning music, art, and global movement into one unified push around their upcoming single “Scorpio.” “Scorpio” is the first chapter in a larger release cycle, with additional singles to follow ahead of a new full-length album later this year. At the center of this campaign is a powerful statement: an official artwork contest for “Scorpio” that directly challenges the rising flood of AI-generated visuals in modern culture. The band is calling on real human artists to create original, hand-crafted artwork that reflects authenticity, struggle, and raw creativity. The winning artist will receive a $500 cash prize, with their work becoming the official cover for the release. In a scene that has always thrived on grit, imperfection, and human expression, Thy Antichrist is drawing a hard line in the sand. This is not just about cover art. It is about defending the soul of creation itself. “This is about real people making real art,” says the band. “Metal has always belonged to those who create from pain, truth, and experience. We are keeping that flame alive.” The “Scorpio” era also marks a major live expansion for the band. Thy Antichrist will appear at Steel Fest in Finland this May, bringing their signature intensity to one of Europe’s key extreme metal gatherings. From there, the band launches into their first-ever South American headlining tour, running late August through September, with confirmed dates spanning Ecuador, Peru, Chile, Argentina, and Uruguay. This run represents a major milestone for the band, cementing their global presence and deepening their connection with one of the most passionate metal audiences on the planet. From underground beginnings in 1998 to international stages in 2026, Thy Antichrist continues to evolve without compromise. The “Scorpio” campaign signals more than a release cycle. It is a declaration of intent, a defense of human artistry, and a global offensive of sound and vision. More details on the “Scorpio” artwork contest, release timeline, and tour dates will be announced soon. Thy Antichrist is not following the wave. They are cutting through it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE FUNERAL PROCESSION UNLEASH NEW EP CARRION — OUT NOW HyperFollow: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thefuneralprocession1/carrion-2Listen / Buy: thefuneralprocessiontx.bandcamp.com/album/carrion Texas progressive melodic death metal outfit The Funeral Procession have officially released their latest EP Carrion, now available worldwide as of April 27, 2026. Known for fusing technical precision with emotional weight and a cinematic edge, the band continues to sharpen their identity and push forward into deeper, darker territory. Carrion builds on the foundation laid by their debut full-length In Still Silence, delivering a more refined and immersive take on their signature sound. The band’s momentum hasn’t slowed. With roughly 130K streams across platforms, a UK iTunes Metal Chart appearance, and a win at the Dallas Wacken Metal Battle, The Funeral Procession have proven they’re not just another name in the underground. They’ve shared stages with heavy hitters like Orbit Culture, Anciients, Life Cycles, and Fervence, and they’re clearly gearing up for a bigger breakout. On Carrion, the band leans harder into atmosphere and emotional depth while maintaining the progressive complexity that defines them. It’s a record that hits in waves, moving from bleak and brooding passages to explosive, cathartic peaks. If you’re into the kind of heavy that actually makes you feel something, this one’s worth your time. Fans of Katatonia, Opeth, and Swallow the Sun should feel right at home here. Band Statement “Carrion is the culmination of everything we've become since our first album. We're finally stepping into our own identity — a sound that weaves between sorrow, anger, and indignation, moving through darkness and light to explore the full weight of the human condition. This EP is us at our most honest, and we hope it connects.”— Bryan Cox, The Funeral Procession ProductionMixed and Mastered by Greg Fender About The Funeral Procession The Funeral Procession is a Texas-based progressive melodic death metal band delivering a powerful blend of progressive complexity, melodic intensity, and cinematic atmosphere. With an expanding catalog and a growing international audience, the band continues to establish itself as one of the most compelling emerging forces in American extreme metal.

Blending melodic death metal, black metal, and classic heavy metal influences, Rickert G. crafts a sound that is both technically precise and emotionally charged. Drawing inspiration from legends like Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Therion, the project stays rooted in traditional metal foundations while pushing into deeply personal and conceptual territory. A fully independent artistic vision, Rickert G. handles all aspects of composition, instrumentation, production, and vocals. The result is a unified and uncompromising body of work that transforms personal trauma and emotional struggle into sound. Endless Thoughts is not just an album, it is a cathartic release shaped by experience, reflection, and psychological exploration. Described as “melodic death metal mixed with black metal and heavy metal” by Metal Temple, the album moves between aggression and atmosphere, unfolding like a conceptual journey through inner conflict, resilience, and transformation. “Where inner chaos takes shape and sound.” That statement captures the essence of the record.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SEEING HELL A.D. RELEASE NEW SINGLE “DISSECTION” First of two prelude singles ahead of forthcoming debut LP BASTARD HYMNS MEMPHIS, TN — Underground heavy collective SEEING HELL A.D. has released their new single “DISSECTION”, a 3:21 surge of raw intensity now available on all major streaming platforms including Spotify and Amazon Music. The track dropped April 8, 2026, and marks the first of two planned singles leading into the band’s debut full-length album, currently being completed for a July release window (TBD). “DISSECTION” showcases the band’s volatile fusion of hardcore, sludge, doom, and death metal, driven by industrial edge, crushing riff structures, and a claustrophobic sense of weight and tension. The release serves as a direct gateway into the expanding sonic world of their upcoming LP, BASTARD HYMNS, which is now in its final recording stages. Recorded and mixed by Jason Gillespie at American Recording Studio, with mastering handled by Edward Hamel at Identity Mastering, the single captures SEEING HELL A.D. at their most focused and punishing, while still hinting at the wider scope of the record to come. The band has been steadily building momentum through live performances alongside heavy underground staples including EYEHATEGOD, WEEDEATER, Exhorder, and Bongzilla, solidifying their reputation within the Southern heavy circuit. Their sound draws from the crushing lineage of genre-defining acts such as Neurosis, His Hero Is Gone, and Cursed, while pushing into more industrial and atmospheric territory that defines their current evolution. “Seeing Hell A.D. is one of the elite powerhouse metal bands tearing through the Memphis scene and, Satan willing, the world. Since forming, they’ve carved out a sound unique to them alone, mixing a brutal slugfest of riffs at the tempo of a car crash in half-time.”— Ross Turner, The Stump RELEASE INFORMATION “DISSECTION” — Out Now (April 8, 2026)Streaming on Spotify, Amazon Music, and all major platforms “DISSECTION” is the first of two pre-album singles ahead of SEEING HELL A.D.’s debut LP BASTARD HYMNS. The second single, “BASTARD’S CROSS”, is slated for release ahead of the full record. Album details, tracklist, and final release date will be announced as recording concludes. The band is currently finalizing the second half of the record and preparing for expanded touring and press support throughout 2026.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE EMPIRE OF NONE ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM “KEEPSAKE” OUT MAY 15, 2026 Presave: https://found.ee/WDO2kk From the coastal town of Sölvesborg, Sweden, rising alt-rock force Empire of None are stepping into the spotlight with their long-awaited debut full-length album Keepsake, set for release on May 15, 2026. Blending modern alternative rock with alt-pop hooks, emo urgency, and flashes of punk and post-hardcore intensity, Empire of None carve out a sound that feels both familiar and fresh. Fans of A Day To Remember, Dayseeker, and Sleep Theory will find plenty to latch onto, but this band is clearly building something with its own fingerprints all over it. Formed in 2018, the band has stayed true to a fully DIY ethos from day one. Every track has been shaped in-house, with the band handling recording, video production, and visual storytelling themselves. That grind has paid off in a sound that feels personal, raw, and unfiltered, no corporate gloss, no shortcuts, just real work and real emotion. In 2023, Empire of None turned heads across Sweden by landing 2nd place out of 78 acts in the Rockflödet Unsigned competition, proving they can hold their own in any lineup and any room, from sweaty clubs to festival stages. Now, with Keepsake, the band are ready for a much bigger stage. About the Album “Keepsake” is a deeply emotional collection of ten tracks that explore memory, identity, loss, and the moments that shape who we become. The band describes the record as a balance of darkness and light, built around honest storytelling and melodic impact. “Keepsake is about the things we hold closest to our hearts. The memories, the emotions, everything that has shaped us. Across ten tracks, we have poured our soul into capturing a world where both darkness and light coexist. Every song tells a story. Every word, every note is meant to pull the listener in.” – Empire of None Production Credits Music: Martin Karlsson, Filip Tell, Christoffer Eriksson, Henrik ErikssonRecorded by: Filip TellMix / Master: Erik Karlsson ProductionsArtwork: Henrik Ivansson & Martin Karlsson Press Photos: Filip Tell & Martin Karlsson Label Unsigned (actively seeking label partnership) Empire of None aren’t chasing trends, they’re building momentum the old-school way: write strong songs, hit hard live, and let the music do the talking. With Keepsake, they’re not just releasing an album, they’re opening the door to everything that comes next.
