FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CIVILIS RELEASES CONCEPTUAL EP CHAPTER II: THE SLEEPING PROPHET Venezuelan Modern Heavy and Progressive Metal Duo Delve Deeper Into Darkness, Technicality, and Human Destiny Venezuelan modern heavy and progressive metal duo CIVILIS continue their ambitious conceptual journey with the release of Chapter II: The Sleeping Prophet, the second installment of the band's ongoing trilogy. Originally founded in Venezuela in 2018 by Félix Molina (guitars) and Bertrand Cape (lead vocals, guitars), CIVILIS was created around a contemporary approach to heavy metal that combines modern tunings, powerful vocals, intricate progressive arrangements, and a strong conceptual foundation. Drawing influence from the likes of Heaven & Hell, Bruce Dickinson, and Nevermore, the band has developed a sound that connects the spirit of classic heavy metal with the technicality and atmosphere of modern progressive metal. The band's story began in 2018 with their debut album, an eight-track conceptual work inspired by fundamental characters surrounding the life of the Messiah. The release quickly established CIVILIS within the Venezuelan metal scene, earning the band the "Breakthrough Band" award at the 2018 Melomaniac Awards in Venezuela. Their music also attracted international attention, including recognition from renowned Japanese metal publication BURRN! and support from international music technology brand IK Multimedia. After several years of artistic development, CIVILIS returned in 2023 with Chapter I: Epiphany, launching a new conceptual trilogy and expanding the band's cinematic approach to songwriting. The EP explored the emotional retrospective of a character beginning to discover the consequences of his present through the experiences of his past. The release received attention from international media including Metal Hammer and La Heavy, further establishing CIVILIS' growing international presence. Now, Chapter II: The Sleeping Prophet takes that story into darker and more technically demanding territory. Released on October 17, 2025, the EP represents what the band describes as their darkest and most technical era yet. Through intense compositions, refined production, atmospheric passages, and an introspective narrative, CIVILIS explores the complicated relationship between experience, emotion, choice, and destiny. "This EP represents our darkest and most technical era yet. It explores the weight of human decisions and how the surrounding experiences shape our choices, ultimately driving us toward an unforeseen destiny." At the heart of The Sleeping Prophet is the transition between youth and adulthood, examining themes of anger, intuition, fear, and the consequences of human decisions. Rather than simply presenting a collection of songs, CIVILIS uses the EP as another chapter in a larger narrative, allowing the music and conceptual storyline to develop alongside one another. Musically, the release balances crushing modern metal textures with progressive songwriting and the melodic character of traditional heavy metal. Soaring vocals, intricate guitar work, shifting arrangements, and atmospheric elements create a sound that is both technically ambitious and emotionally focused. With Chapter II: The Sleeping Prophet, CIVILIS continues to build upon the foundation established throughout their career while pushing their creative identity into increasingly darker and more expansive territory. Backed by international media coverage and a growing audience beyond their home country, CIVILIS represents a new generation of Venezuelan metal artists bringing ambitious, concept-driven heavy music to an international audience. The journey is not over. The Sleeping Prophet is the second chapter. Chapter II: The Sleeping Prophet is available now on major streaming platforms.

The track is the latest preview of the band’s upcoming full-length album, Portrait of Antiquity, due in November.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE METAL MUSTANG BRINGS HIGH-VELOCITY DETROIT METAL TO THE FORE WITH DEBUT LP "AND THEY'RE OFF" Detroit, Michigan | Metalcore, Thrash & Progressive Metal | Debut Album Out Now Straight out of the depths of Detroit, Michigan, Metal Mustang delivers a powerful collision of melodic metalcore, progressive metal, and thrash with their debut eight-track LP, "And They're Off," released August 6, 2025. Combining dark atmospheres, explosive guitar work, aggressive vocals, and intricate melodic arrangements, the band brings a sound built on intensity, technical musicianship, and deeply personal songwriting. Formed in 2020 by co-writers Christopher Nigel and Julia Mogylevski-Castillo, Metal Mustang has developed a distinctive approach that balances crushing heaviness with hypnotic rhythms, dramatic key and tempo changes, and extensive guitar work. Drawing comparisons to Trivium, In Flames, and Five Finger Death Punch, the band combines the aggression of modern metal with the melodic sensibilities and progressive elements that give its music a character of its own. At the heart of "And They're Off" is more than just heavy music. The album explores personal loss, displacement, survival, alienation, and the determination to keep pushing forward when life delivers its hardest blows. Tracks such as "A Candle in the Dark" confront the devastating loss of a young family member, while "Laker Of Tears" addresses the human consequences of war, occupation, and displacement, drawing attention to conflicts in places such as Gaza and Ukraine. "Bulletproof" tackles the daily grind of life's hardships, the pressures of work, and the determination to keep standing after taking hit after hit. Other songs, including "Stepping Stones" and "A Flash In the Pan," explore perseverance and maintaining a positive outlook despite the struggles of everyday life. Meanwhile, "Six Feet Down" dives into the darker territory of loneliness, isolation, and feeling disconnected from the world around you. The band describes the album as: "Total high velocity dark metal muscle music straight out of the depth of Detroit." That description captures the spirit of the record: aggressive, emotionally charged, and driven by experiences that translate into something both personal and powerful. Metal Mustang's music is already finding its way onto the airwaves, with tracks receiving radio play from WHFR, Tattoo Metal, and Outlaw Radio. The band has also been building its live presence throughout Michigan and beyond, appearing at venues including Diesel Concert Lounge, The Blind Pig, The Token Lounge, New Dodge Lounge, and The Music Factory. Their festival appearances include the 25th Annual Centurian Biker Festival in Ohio, along with performances at Shenanigans and Century Music Hall in Indiana. Metal Mustang has also shared stages with a diverse roster of national touring and established acts, including Mingo Indus, The Dead Deads, Sun Valley, Starkill, Kikin Valentina, Bad Marriage, Killer's Confession, Saving Vice, Failsafe, Oblivion Zero, and The Convalescence. The band's current lineup features: Christopher Nigel: Lyrics & Lead Vocals Julia Mogylevski-Castillo: Lead & Rhythm Guitar Darrin Balagna: Bass Alex Hicks: Harsh & Background Vocals Ron Rollin: Drums " And They're Off" was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Raydon Studios in Keego Harbor, Michigan, by Mark Stewart. With a sound that moves between melodic intensity, progressive arrangements, thrash-driven aggression, and dark emotional storytelling, Metal Mustang is carving out its own place in the modern American metal scene. For listeners looking for music with both muscle and substance, this Detroit outfit is worth keeping on the radar. "And They're Off" is available now on major digital streaming platforms. https://ditto.fm/and-theyre-off LISTEN & CONNECT WITH METAL MUSTANG Linktree: https://linktr.ee/mtlmustang Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/4piSW1vaPcRFyNicCVBIXG Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/metal-mustang/1805188136 YouTube: https://youtube.com/@metalmustangofficial Additional Streaming: https://ditto.fm/and-theyre-off Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/metalmustangdetroit Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/metalmustangdetroit/ Bandsintown: https://www.bandsintown.com/a/15575960 PRESS & MEDIA CONTACT Julia Mogylevski-CastilloMetal MustangEmail: mtlmustang@gmail.comAlternate: jmogylevski@gmail.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PATHOS & LOGOS UNLEASH FOURTH FULL-LENGTH ALBUM "VERSES" NOVEMBER 27, 2026 Colorado Metal Duo Combines Blistering Thrash, Massive Melodic Choruses, and Punishing Polyrhythmic Brutality on Their Most Unforgiving Release Yet Colorado, USA – Colorado-based metal duo Pathos & Logos are preparing to unleash their fourth full-length album, Verses, arriving November 27, 2026, through Digital Empire Media. Continuing a dark and uncompromising creative trajectory established through previous releases Glory to the Order, Cult, and Gospel, the new album represents the band's most aggressive and ambitious evolution to date. For years, Pathos & Logos have cultivated a distinctive sonic identity from the underground metal scene in Colorado, constructing an enormous, multi-layered wall of sound that consistently defies the limitations of a two-piece lineup. Drawing from the technical ferocity of The Black Dahlia Murder, the crushing rhythmic complexity of Meshuggah, and the hardcore-infused intensity of Vision of Disorder, the duo delivers a volatile combination of blistering thrash metal, infectious melodic hooks, and devastating polyrhythmic breakdowns. On Verses, the band pushes its sound into even darker territory, balancing colossal, anthemic choruses with moments of calculated technical violence. The result is a record built around contrast, shifting between memorable melodic passages and crushing instrumental assaults without sacrificing the intensity that defines the band's sound. Expanding their creative circle for the new album, Pathos & Logos have enlisted an impressive lineup of guest collaborators, including Devin of Suicide Cages, Erik of Oak Ash & Thorn, and Rhiannon of Torn From Existence. Their contributions add further depth and dimension to an already formidable musical statement. Leading the charge is the single "Crown of Glass," accompanied by a striking black-and-white music video that captures the oppressive atmosphere and intensity of the track. Featuring the duo performing in stark silhouettes against a massive floor-to-ceiling screen, the visual presentation incorporates venomous lyrical imagery that splatters and bleeds across the backdrop. The result is an atmospheric, high-contrast production that reinforces the song's dark themes while putting the band's commanding performance front and center. "The new video represents a lethal evolution. It is a calculated sonic and visual assault designed to crush and convert, and it succeeds at both." Verses was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Kyle Neeley, whose production credits include The Black Dahlia Murder, The Human Abstract, and God Forbid. His involvement brings a powerful production pedigree to the band's latest chapter. With four full-length releases behind them and a sound that continues to evolve beyond conventional expectations, Pathos & Logos are ready to make their next statement. Verses is a collision of technical precision, unrelenting aggression, and commanding melody, proving that a two-piece lineup can deliver the kind of devastation typically associated with a much larger force. The order is set. The next transmission arrives November 27.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BABY ON A RAMPAGE Unveil “Failure of One’s Name” Video Ahead of Forgive My Figure EP Bay Area progressive metal band BABY ON A RAMPAGE have released the video for “Failure of One’s Name,” the second single from their upcoming EP, Forgive My Figure, due November 12, 2026. Co-produced with Scott Proctor, whose credits include Five Finger Death Punch, Machine Head, and Testament, Forgive My Figure marks a new step in the band’s sound, bringing together crushing heaviness, soaring melodies, and emotionally charged choruses. “Failure of One’s Name” explores identity, grief, self-discovery, and healing through the personal perspectives of guitarist and vocalist Ash Lee and drummer Lyra Renninger. The track shifts between restless, technical instrumentation and melodic passages, building one of the EP’s most emotionally resonant moments. The single follows “Reclaim,” released September 1, 2026. Its video was also released alongside the track. BABY ON A RAMPAGE’s members first came together between the ages of nine and eleven at Bandworks, a local music school known for rotating student lineups. When Ash, Lyra, John, and Bruno landed in the same group, their instructors noticed an unusually strong chemistry and level of skill for musicians so young. The band’s influences range from Metallica, Green Day, and Primus to Mastodon, Gojira, System of a Down, Rage Against the Machine, Tool, Slipknot, Pantera, and Lamb of God, alongside Muse and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Forgive My Figure is out November 12, 2026. “Failure of One’s Name” is out now.https://babyonarampage.bandcamp.com/track/failure-of-ones-name [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="n6AqmEfI3oE"] Also check out the “Reclaim” video: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="NDvwwrxoU6U"] About BABY ON A RAMPAGE BABY ON A RAMPAGE first came together as young musicians at Bandworks.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Four Metal Devastation PR Clients Featured in Germany’s Legacy Magazine HELLDRIFTER, FLIGHT OF ODIN, KÜNTSQUÄD and LIZZORD join an issue featuring Children of Bodom on the cover, plus major features on Silvertomb, Arckanum, Heilung, Sinister and more Metal Devastation PR is pleased to announce that four of its clients—HELLDRIFTER, FLIGHT OF ODIN, KÜNTSQUÄD and LIZZORD—are featured in this month’s issue of Germany’s Legacy magazine. The issue features Children of Bodom on the cover and includes major features on Silvertomb, Arckanum, Heilung, Sinister and more. Metal Devastation PR’s clients add four distinct perspectives on heavy music through interviews, a band profile and album coverage. HELLDRIFTER look toward their next album in a conversation about the lessons and working methods that have developed since Shell Of Inexistence. The Stuttgart five-piece tell Legacy they are currently working on more than 20 songs, taking an increasingly detailed approach to songwriting while continuing to put guitars at the center of their Old-School Melodic Death Metal sound. Vocalist Billy Kolins also discusses lyrics inspired by recurring events and concerns in the wider world, alongside plans to revisit the horror-film influence behind the band’s name. The feature touches on the group’s Kreator cover of “Murder Fantasies,” which they approached in their own style. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="BAuld4f6phM"] FLIGHT OF ODIN receive both an interview and a review for I Traveled The Crooked Path. The interview traces the personal, mythic and musical influences behind the American band’s double album, from singer and lyricist Xyra’s stream-of-consciousness writing to the group’s collaborative, self-produced approach. The release brings together the current lineup’s material with remastered tracks from the earlier Goddess In Smoke MCD. In its review, Legacy praises the album’s atmospheric combination of melancholic Doom Metal, Progressive Rock and psychedelic soundscapes, highlighting Xyra’s expressive vocals, the eerie piano passages in “The Ravens’ Eyes” and the standout guitar solo in “You Can’t Stop Me Now.” The album receives 11 points. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="1gVdWn2ohck"] Australian grind outfit KÜNTSQUÄD discuss their evolving live sound, touring and the challenge of writing a third album. Guitarist Paula VC Damnzal describes the band’s effort to push their extreme sound further while retaining the distinct character that sets them apart. The feature also looks back at Satans Cock, the band’s recent live activity and their appearance on the Imperative Music Agency Vol. 21 DVD with “Psychotropic Lyfe.” KÜNTSQUÄD also share plans to bring their music to Europe and Japan for the first time next year. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="xeeiwOvpmr4"] LIZZORD are profiled in “Selfmade Speed,” a feature that follows the band’s DIY approach from songwriting and recording through to artwork. The German four-piece’s debut album, Cosmic Crypt, draws on ’80s and ’90s Speed and Thrash Metal, pairing high-velocity riffs with a two-part vocal approach. Legacy highlights the group’s hands-on production, including real drums recorded and refined in drummer Marcel Weber’s own studio, and the band’s commitment to making the music, lyrics and artwork feel like a unified work. Cosmic Crypt is scheduled for release on November 20. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="xSsWHLi5qcs"] Together, the features showcase four different paths through heavy music: HELLDRIFTER’s guitar-forward melodic death metal, FLIGHT OF ODIN’s expansive and melancholic sound, KÜNTSQUÄD’s uncompromising grind and LIZZORD’s self-made speed and thrash.

Atlanta black metal outfit CLOAK are preparing to enter a new chapter with the announcement of their upcoming full-length album, Above, Below, & Through, scheduled for release on February 12, 2027, through Metal Blade Records. The record marks the band's debut release for the legendary label and their fourth full-length album overall. Alongside the announcement, CLOAK have unleashed the first single and accompanying music video, "Nigredo - Initium," offering listeners an initial glimpse into the darker, more expansive direction of the new material. Pre-orders for Above, Below, & Through are now available. Formed in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2013, CLOAK have steadily developed a sound rooted in black metal while incorporating a broader range of influences and atmospheric elements. Their new album represents a significant step forward for the band, both musically and conceptually. The band describes the record as a continuation and expansion of their previous album, Black Flame Eternal. "Above, Below, & Through takes everything that was great about our last LP, Black Flame Eternal, and amplifies it completely, while still standing as an album of its own," the band explains. The album was shaped during a period of change, reflection, and creative inspiration. Its conceptual foundation explores themes of liminality and duality, examining the spaces between opposing forces and states of existence. According to founding vocalist and guitarist Scott Taysom, the songs gradually developed around ideas involving life and death, dreams and consciousness, humanity and animal instinct, and the relationship between shadow and light. "The main concepts of the songs were dealing with pathways between life and death, realms between dream and consciousness, shifts between beast and man, and the juxtaposition of shadow and light as spiritual guides," Taysom explains. He continues, "The album title's meaning became clear, as something both all-encompassing and complete, but also something liminal and transitional. This is represented in both the songs and the band itself at the time of writing the album." The new record also introduces a refreshed lineup. Founding members Scott Taysom and guitarist Max Brigham are joined by drummer Matt Morris and bassist Rafay Nabeel. The expanded lineup has helped shape what the band describes as its most massive and sonically expansive recording to date. The production takes a different approach from previous CLOAK releases, emphasizing enormous, natural-sounding drums, rumbling bass, and guitar tones packed with attack and clarity. Lead single "Nigredo - Initium" holds particular significance as the first song the band began developing with its new lineup. The track also serves as the opening gateway into the album's conceptual world. "A tale of being marked from the beginning. 'Nigredo - Initium' was the first song we started working on as a new lineup, which is very fitting considering the translated title. It is the initial door that opens to the world that is Above, Below, & Through, and the start of a new dark age," the band states. Above, Below, & Through was recorded with producer Alex Parra and drum engineer John Douglass. The album features striking cover artwork by Jordan Barlow. With a new lineup, a new label home, and an ambitious conceptual direction, CLOAK appear ready to push their sound into darker and more expansive territory.
