FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tentaclaus Storms Back with a Double EP Drop Calamari and Daily Grind! Northern Virginia’s punk troublemakers Tentaclaus have kicked the door back open after a hiatus, and they’re not easing back into anything. They’re dropping two back to back EPs Calamari and Daily Grind serving up grit attitude and the kind of raw edge that reminds everyone why the scene missed them. Tentaclaus is a Diet Superband made up of players from Never Elected, Shumaun, Positivity Brigade and the Berkley School of Music. Sujit Kumar handles vocals, Scott Silver drives the drums, Jason Nope commands the bass and Tyler Kim dishes out the guitar fire. What started as one album spun into two EPs after some lively boardroom debates. In their words it made more sense and it was a hell of a lot more fun. Calamari landed on November 7. It kicks off with Rat Child a nod to the Di’Anno and Clive Burr era of Iron Maiden. The EP tears through Backstabber, the football feud fueled Man U, the heavy leaning NIB.RIP. and wraps with Golden Sneakers. True to form they shout out their go to Alexandria haunt O’Shaughnessy’s keeping their community stitched right into the music. Calamari TracklistRat ChildBackstabberMan UNIB.RIP.Golden Sneakers Daily Grind arrives December 5 and digs into the everyday chaos of modern urban life. Destination sets the tone inspired by Mumbai’s shoulder to shoulder trains. Shit Rollin and Get Fucked dive straight into work culture burnout and the nonsense that comes with it. Celebrate flips the switch on fake office cheer. The closer Come To The Show fires up a rally for supporting live music hitting O’Shaughnessy’s with another well deserved salute. Daily Grind TracklistDestinationShit RollinGet FuckedCelebrateCome To The Show Pre Save Daily Grindhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/tentaclaus/daily-grind Both EPs feature artwork by Aaron Miller of Miller Digital Art. Recording, mixing and mastering were handled by Pablo Cabrera at Analog Approach in Falls Church with vocals tracked by Farhad Zink Hossain at Zinkferd Studio in Woodbridge. Independent and loud as ever Tentaclaus keeps fueling the DC and Northern Virginia punk circuit. With Calamari and Daily Grind they’re planting their flag right back in the center of the scene and daring anyone to ignore it. Punk fans better buckle in. Tentaclaus is back and they’re not playing nice.

JON HARRIS SERVES UP A FUNK-ROCK FEAST WITH NEW “MUSTARD N KETCHUP” PLAYTHROUGH Canadian instrumental rocker Jon Harris is back in the spotlight, and he isn’t coming quietly. The Edmonton guitarist, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and yes, actual chef, just dropped a brand new playthrough video for his track Mustard N Ketchup, one of the most talked-about cuts from his album Parallel Heart. If you need a reason to get up and move today, this is it. This new video puts Harris front and center in his natural habitat, showing off the kind of tight, flashy musicianship that makes gearheads lean in and casual listeners start bobbing their heads before they even realize it. Mustard N Ketchup blends rock energy with funk swagger and a dance pulse that feels straight out of the eighties, only rebuilt with modern muscle. It’s a reminder that instrumental music can hit just as hard as any traditional rock anthem. Harris pulled back the curtain on the inspiration behind the track and dropped some heavy names while he was at it.“I get asked about this song more than any other on the record, probably because it stands out in a lot of ways. Mustard N Ketchup is my homage to one of my all time favourite producers, Quincy Jones, and the magic he created with Michael Jackson and legendary Toto guitarist Steve Lukather. I’ve always loved the sound of the eighties, and I’ve always loved dance music. To me, it’s the heartbeat of rock, as music should make you move.” And in true Jon Harris fashion, the title itself also ties back to his second creative life in the kitchen.“The title is also a nod to my life as a chef, where everything starts with the basic building blocks of flavour. Whether it’s food or music, great things come from a solid foundation.” You can watch the new Mustard N Ketchup playthrough here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="0OIJlqg9Btk"] Parallel Heart, released in December 2024 through Epictronic, is packed with the kind of storytelling most bands need a vocalist to achieve. Harris does it with feel, texture, and arrangements that shift from slick grooves to soaring solos. Even without a single lyric, the record digs into themes of connection, conflict, ambition, and the balancing act between the creative world and real life. Tracks like Togetherness pulse with momentum, while 97BPM plays like a neon soaked time capsule. Harris handled guitar, drums, bass, piano, and production, making this album a full display of what the guy can do when he’s behind the wheel. His sound blends blues roots, cinematic synth layers, funk rhythms, and a modern rock edge that brings to mind everything from Jeff Beck to Prince. It’s a fresh take that still respects where the genre came from. Stream Parallel Heart here: https://orcd.co/parallelheart More info: https://linktr.ee/jonharrisrocks Harris has earned praise from critics across the board, with Exclaim!, Real Gone Rocks, Video Sound Art Magazine, and others championing his mix of technical skill and emotional depth. It’s clear that Parallel Heart isn’t just another instrumental record, it’s a statement from an artist who refuses to pick one lane when he can build a whole highway. If Mustard N Ketchup is any indication of what Harris is cooking next, fans are going to want to stay hungry. Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KILLERWITCH, ST. UNHOLYNESS, POWERHOUSE, THORNDALE, WITCHER And TRAITOR Charge Into Legacy Magazine Alongside 1914 Metal Devastation PR is celebrating a serious milestone as six of its artists land features and reviews in the newest issue of Legacy Magazine, the same issue with 1914 dominating the cover. For independent and underground metal, this is the kind of spotlight that proves the scene is still pushing forward with power, grit, and no interest in playing it safe. KILLERWITCHMalta’s heavy and power metal thunder squad hit Legacy with their second album Palace Of The Dragons and walked away with a perfect ten point score. The magazine called it a thunderclap packed with huge melodies and a smokey atmosphere that shows the band finally taking off. Silent Angel and Metellica were singled out as prime examples of the band’s fire. Their interview digs deeper into the darker and more direct direction of the new material, with the seven minute epic The Alchemist standing tall. KILLERWITCH is now gearing up for a European tour in 2024. ST. UNHOLYNESSChristina Earlymorn’s one woman force of nature slammed Legacy with a twelve point review for her debut full length Through High Holy Haze. The album blends Doom, Stoner, Black Metal venom, HM 2 fury, and raw Blues soul into a hybrid that impressed Legacy for its detail and fearless execution. The interview explores Christina’s journey from Metallica inspired beginnings to the creation of a sound that is grim, groovy, personal, and fully her own. Every instrument. Every idea. Every scream. All hers. POWERHOUSESacramento thrash unit Powerhouse delivered American Rebel and Legacy responded with eleven points. Six tracks. Thirty three minutes. No wasted space. The review praises the massive riffs, pounding drums, and a psychedelic edge that gives their old school thrash roots a modern twist. Their interview opens up about the pandemic frustrations that shaped the record and the idea of standing strong with a lone wolf mentality. Influences like Iron Maiden, UFO, and Slayer help shape a sound that still feels fresh. THORNDALELegacy sat down with Thorndale for a feature on their new album Spiritual Chains. With a refreshed lineup, the band shifted from the technical density of their older work to stronger melodies, simpler structures, and riffs built to last. The title track Twenty Thousand Souls anchors the theme of mental and spiritual chains. The band keeps a democratic approach to songwriting and is already working on the next album titled The Stalemate. Their sound honors the old ways while keeping an eye on the future. WITCHERHungary’s melancholic black metal duo returned with their fourth album Lélekharang. Legacy describes the sound as bombastic, melodic, and rooted in classic black metal while painting the atmosphere with symphonic influence. Themes of sorrow and descent into a deeper world guide the music. The duo keeps everything DIY from instrumentation to vocals to production. Hungarian lyrics reinforce the atmosphere and carry the emotional weight of the concept. TRAITORRounding out the wins, TRAITOR was covered in Legacy’s feature celebrating twenty years of the Neuborn Open Air Festival in Wörrstadt. The festival has grown from a small gathering into a trusted stage for major underground talent. Legacy highlights the longtime relationship between TRAITOR and the festival, noting the band’s reliability, quality gear, and fierce performances. Their style pulls from speed, blackened aggression, and the classic black death sound of the nineties. TRAITOR stands out as a relentless and traditional force that always delivers. A Strong Statement For The UndergroundLanding multiple artists in a respected publication like Legacy is more than a bragging right. It shows the underground is stacked with talent, individuality, and the kind of dedication that keeps metal alive across borders and generations.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Death Reigns: From Underground to Top 5 on Thunderflix — Metal Wins! Some stories are too loud to ignore. Death Reigns, the groundbreaking documentary about the underground metal scene of the American Bible Belt, has just smashed into the Top 5 most-streamed films on Thunderflix for November, right alongside legends like Helloween, Epica, Moonspell, and Megadeth. At the heart of the film are radio hosts Raven Moonla and Zach Moonshine, two relentless metalheads on a mission to build something real in a place that wants it buried. Their goal: organize the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest, a grassroots festival built entirely on passion, community, and zero industry backing. As the festival grew louder, pushback intensified. Far-right religious activists tried to shut it down, sparking a tense battle between outsiders fighting to create space and forces determined to erase them. Death Reigns goes far beyond the music. It captures the exhaustion, triumphs, threats, late-night planning, and unwavering resilience of a culture that refuses to die. This is a raw, personal portrait of what happens when metal becomes more than entertainment — when it becomes identity, rebellion, and survival. Jackson, TN, you’re killing it! Huge shoutout to Randall Holt Kendrick and everyone who made this possible. Thank you for the insane support! Critics are calling it one of the most important underground metal documentaries in years.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KING HEAVY Rise Once More with Atlantic Reborn — Out December 12, 2025 on Witches Brew Records Chilean Epic Doom torchbearers KING HEAVY are gearing up to drop a release that hits like a cathedral bell in a storm. Their new CD, Atlantic Reborn, arrives December 12 on Witches Brew Records, and it’s a record loaded with history, heart, and some serious low-end thunder. This one isn’t just another chapter in the band’s story. It’s a resurrection. KING HEAVY cracked open their deep vault of unreleased material to bring fans three final recordings featuring their late vocalist Luce, who passed in 2022. Two full tracks and an instrumental stand tall at the front of the album, keeping his voice and presence alive the way doom metal has always honored its fallen: loud, proud, and honest. From there, Atlantic Reborn powers into three classic cuts from the band’s earlier era, reminding listeners exactly why KING HEAVY carved out their place in the global doom scene. Capping it all off is a raw, thundering bonus rehearsal version of “The Origin Of The Witch Hunt,” giving fans a 47-minute journey straight into the eye of their epic, monolithic sound. This release is everything the genre demands. Slow. Massive. Reverent. And built from the iron backbone of traditional doom. Fans of Candlemass, Saint Vitus, Solitude Aeturnus, and the old-school spirit that shaped the style will feel right at home. Atlantic Reborn stands as both a tribute and a triumph. KING HEAVY aren’t just revisiting their past—they’re honoring it. And they’re doing it the way doom was meant to be done. You can stream and order the album here: https://witchesbrewthrashes.bandcamp.com/album/atlantic-reborn Atlantic Reborn drops December 12, 2025 on Witches Brew Records.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAXILLA Signs with Witches Brew and Unleashes Debut Album “Anatomy: She” — Out Now MAXILLA is stepping out swinging this year, officially signing with Witches Brew and dropping her debut full-length “Anatomy: She” — an emotionally charged blast of heavy metal grit and hard rock attitude, available now at:https://witchesbrewthrashes.bandcamp.com/album/anatomy-she Originating in the New York tri-state area and now based in Ohio, MAXILLA was founded in 2018 by vocalist and guitarist Haley Cronin. She started classical vocal training at age 7, later expanding into guitar during high school under the guidance of Rob Thorne from Sacred Oath. That background of discipline and fire fuels “Anatomy: She,” a record built on truth, emotion, and a sharp edge. The album draws blood from influences old and new — Iron Maiden, Metallica, and Black Sabbath on one side, Halestorm and Paramore on the other. Haley’s vocals hit with weight and attitude, landing right in that sweet zone where melody meets muscle. Lyrically, the album cuts into themes of inequality, identity, and the battles women still face, delivering a powerful and refreshing perspective. Packed with riffs, hooks, and honesty, “Anatomy: She” bridges the worlds of heavy metal and hard rock, making it a strong recommendation for fans who want emotion with their volume. MAXILLA has already stirred the water with her single “My Creatures” — produced and mixed by Rob “Thorne” Volpintesta and mastered by Dietrich Schoenemann. The album takes that energy and cranks it even higher. This is only the beginning, and MAXILLA isn’t exactly shy about making noise.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE  Friday Dies Unleashes Thrash Attack on the East Coast with "Protect Your Temple" Tour Wisconsin, USA – Friday Dies, the legendary heavy metal thrash unit that defined the underground scene in the late '80s and '90s, is officially hitting the road in support of the re-release of their iconic track, "Protect Your Temple." This East Coast run of dates marks the band's powerful live return, showcasing the raw energy and complex song structures that cemented their cult status. The re-released single, off their legendary full-length album Return of the Witch (originally 1995), has brought the band's classic sound—forged in the spirit of titans like Pantera, Megadeth, and Coroner—back to the forefront. Now, both old-school metalheads and a new generation of listeners will have the chance to experience their blistering mix of thrash and heavy metal live. Tour Dates Announced: The Road to Metal Revival Friday Dies is ready to melt faces with their gritty, hardcore edge and a setlist featuring both classic tracks and a preview of their new material, currently being recorded and set for professional mixing and mastering at TRAX 52 Studios. Their upcoming dates are: 2/4: Cosmo Joe's Atomic Lounge - 121 N. Ludlow St., Dayton, OH 2/5: Planet of the Tapes - 640 Barrett Ave., Louisville, KY 2/6: Date to be Announced Soon 2/7: Reverb Room - 1758 Watson Blvd., Warner Robins, GA "The energy we felt coming back together to promote 'Protect Your Temple' was insane, and it's translated directly into this tour," says Mark Friday. "We’re ready to deliver the classic thrash sound our fans remember and prove that Friday Dies has risen again like a phoenix from the ashes, stronger and more furious than ever before." The band's revival was sparked after Mark Friday's son discovered a box of old CDs, igniting the push to promote this classic music and set the stage for new material. This tour is the first step in unveiling fresh material that embodies the same strength and inspiration from the past, ensuring that Friday Dies continues to make their mark on the metal legacy.
