FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Element of Fate Unleashes Dark Gothic Visualizer “Warhorse” Ahead of Debut Album Dreamfall Washington, DC / Portland, OR – Element of Fate, the US-based melodic heavy metal duo known for blending classic heavy metal with symphonic, gothic, and progressive elements, has released a striking official visualizer for their new track Warhorse on YouTube. The video arrives as a bold prelude to their debut full-length album, Dreamfall, set to launch July 27, 2026 via Bravemusic. “If not now, when?” asks Element of Fate, channeling the unstoppable momentum of 2026, the Year of the Fire Horse. Warhorse is a dark, gothic-heavy metal reminder to move forward—through hesitation, uncertainty, and the challenges life throws our way. With lyrics like ‘Blessed. I fear nothing. With the gods at my side. I step into the fire,’ the track embodies the fearlessness at the heart of the band’s cinematic storytelling. Produced and mastered by John Mario of JBG Records, the track—and the upcoming album—showcases soaring vocals, intricate guitar work, and cinematic arrangements that fans of Nightwish, Judas Priest, Seven Spires, Lacuna Coil, and Dio will instantly recognize, yet Element of Fate carves a unique sonic lane. One listener described their sound as “if Iron Maiden and Nightwish had a baby.” Formed in the Washington, DC area and operating between DC and Portland, Oregon, Element of Fate is made up of vocalist and visual artist Carol Phillips (Madame Crol) and guitarist/multi-instrumentalist Scott Loose. Through fantasy, mystical, and sci-fi-inspired themes, the duo creates immersive metal experiences that push beyond genre boundaries. To celebrate the release of Dreamfall, Element of Fate will launch a Kickstarter campaign on April 17, 2026, featuring exclusive rewards, behind-the-scenes content, and the first full music video from the album. Fans can preview and support the album here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/carolphillipsart/dreamfall.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ST. UNHOLYNESS Featured by Metal Hammer in In-Depth Interview: “Between Sacred Fog and Hellish Groove” Pfarrkirchen, Germany – February 20, 2026 German stoner doom duo St. Unholyness has been spotlighted in a powerful new in-depth interview with Metal Hammer, titled “Between Sacred Fog and Hellish Groove,” published February 20, 2026 by Ermes Casagrande on the magazine’s official website. This month’s Metal Hammer cycle is a landmark one. The current issue features hard rock legends AC/DC on the cover, alongside major features on forward-thinking heavy acts such as Castle Rat and Jinjer. To be featured by one of the most influential global voices in heavy music during a month of this caliber marks a defining moment for the rising German underground force. Formed in Pfarrkirchen by Christina Earlymorn and Mac Carrigan, St. Unholyness channels a fierce and uncompromising vision of contemporary stoner doom. Their debut full-length, Through High Holy Haze, delivers eight dense and emotionally charged tracks built on monolithic riffs, hypnotic groove, blues-soaked grit, and blackened intensity. In the interview, Christina Earlymorn makes the band’s mission unmistakably clear: “The identity and mission of the St. Unholyness are to be completely authentic in a world that seems to reward fiction.” She continues: “Rock’n Roll should be rebellion… People are born to be original and not to die as copies.” That philosophy drives every aspect of Through High Holy Haze, a record that confronts mortality, trauma, resilience, identity, and spiritual defiance with unfiltered honesty. The album’s title itself stems from deeply personal experiences that shaped Earlymorn’s worldview and creative voice. On the emotional core of the record, she explains: “I write extremely personal music and always try to blend what interests me with the spirit of the time I live.” Musically, St. Unholyness forges cohesion from intensity. The band seamlessly blends stoner doom weight, blues melancholy, and blackened ferocity without sacrificing atmosphere or identity. Earlymorn describes their songwriting approach as landscape building: “When I write a piece I try to build it as if I were creating a landscape… I always try to imagine nature in its beauty but also in its brutality.” The immersive single “Dampflok des Todes” reflects this philosophy, pairing heavy sonic textures with a deliberate visual aesthetic. For the duo, image and sound are inseparable: “Aesthetics is fundamental for us, because an image can say more than a thousand words.” Notably, Through High Holy Haze was entirely self-produced. From writing and recording to editing, mixing, and mastering, St. Unholyness maintained full creative control. That independence allowed the album to remain raw, intentional, and uncompromised. Groove remains central to their sonic identity. As Earlymorn puts it: “Everything in life has a rhythm… A solid rhythm and groove are the basis on which melody and words can dialogue, flirt and create that magic that makes a song alive.” While often mentioned in the same breath as genre pioneers and underground stalwarts, St. Unholyness refuses to chase placement within any specific scene. Their focus is authenticity over positioning, expression over expectation. With growing attention from both Germany and the United States, this feature in Metal Hammer places the band on an international platform at a pivotal time. As they prepare to evolve into a live power trio and bring their ritualistic intensity to the stage, momentum continues to build. For those discovering the band for the first time, Earlymorn offers simple guidance: “Let go, be open and interpret it in your own way. Nothing else.” The haze is rising. The fire is spreading. And the underground is listening. Read the full interview now on the official Metal Hammer website.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Crooked Skulls Deliver Desert-Baked Riffs and Doom-Soaked Groove on Midnight Sun Release Date: March 27, 2026Label: Electric Desert RecordsPre-Save: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thecrookedskulls1/midnight-sun Heavy rock is alive and kicking, and The Crooked Skulls are here to prove it. The three-piece wrecking crew return with Midnight Sun, a full-bodied blast of desert rock and hard rock swagger set for release March 27, 2026 via Electric Desert Records. Rooted in stoner groove, doom weight, and southern grit, the album plants its boots firmly in tradition while pushing forward with muscle and conviction. For fans of Black Label Society, Pentagram, and Weedeater, Midnight Sun is built on riffs that feel carved from stone and grooves that don’t quit. The Crooked Skulls are: Pete Koretzky – guitar and vocals Chuck Snyder – drums Dave Van Auken – bass and vocals Formed with a simple mission to play music that feels real and hits hard, the band leans into chemistry over flash. Pete’s guitar tone roars through Gibson guitars and Hiwatt and Orange amps, drawing influence from Kyuss and Fu Manchu. He has previously collaborated with Bob Balch of Fu Manchu and recorded a solo for Valley of the Sun on their 2023 track “Where’s This Place?” Chuck anchors the band with thunderous precision behind his Tama kit, channeling the spirit of Ginger Baker and John Bonham. Dave, originally a guitarist in his teens, drives the low end with Aguilar and Darkglass firepower, pulling inspiration from Crowbar and ZZ Top while locking tightly with Chuck and sharing vocal duties. On Midnight Sun, the band keeps the spotlight squarely on the riff, but they are not afraid of space or dynamics. The album blends heavy rock punch with stoner groove and doom-leaning weight. Vocals are direct and grounded, cutting through with clarity and emotion. Lyrically, the record explores endurance, reflection, pressure, and personal reckoning without leaning on a strict concept narrative. It is honest, unfiltered heavy rock meant to resonate as deeply with listeners as it does with the band. Production duties were handled by John Naclerio at Nada Recording Studio, with mastering by Kent Stump at Crystal Clear Studios, ensuring the album hits hard while preserving the raw edge that defines The Crooked Skulls’ sound. Midnight Sun stands as a testament to what happens when three musicians strip it back to the essentials: riffs, groove, and truth. No gimmicks. No shortcuts. Just heavy rock done right. Pre-save now and get ready for the heat to rise on March 27, 2026.

Horrenda is a 6-person fomorian looking to expand beyond its borders; after blazing a path across Ireland and the UK, and recently debuting in mainland Europe with a tour of Poland.  In 2025, Horrenda closed out Ireland’s largest metal festival “The Siege of Limerick”, playing the UK end to end, debuting in Poland and playing Cosmic Void Festival in September 2025 which closed out our busiest year. Horrenda twists elements of black metal into a chaotic mix of hardcore punk, dissonance Noise and riffing Death metal with a progressive music edge. This mix has formed a live show that cuts deep and often utilizes samples and 3-guitars to allow a wall of sound to pummel our audience, ensuring a show unlike anything you’ve seen before.  "Horrenda started in 2015 as a one man black project project, releasing two demos but then grew into an act of renown in Ireland. After refining our show and sound over the past ten years across Ireland and the UK. We are very pleased to sign with EMG at this point as we are keen to bring our music to as many shores as possible. We want everyone to experience Horrenda." HORRENDA are a must for fans of acts such as Dragged Into Sunlight, Harakiri For The Sky, Ellende, Karg, Gluch, Hexis, and high intensity live performances.  Horrenda are currently writing their second album; the follow up to the “Think On Your Sins” EP and their debut album "Díoltas” both of which were re-released in the US in 2025.  Check out the video for “Come and see” - Horrenda - Come and See (Official Video) [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="IMsjnAyKRS4"] [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="yLP14ps2g4E"] Our proshot set from Cosmic Void can be viewed here also -Horrenda | COSMIC VOID Festival 2025 | O2 Academy Islington, London (UK) LINKS: Website: https://horrendaofficial.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HorrendaOfficial Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXL3b6wMly77vNKKpUpCoLw Instagram https://www.instagram.com/horrendaofficial/ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/396IN8R4fgqAlSJB9UHiOU Less
