FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Relentless Pacific Fury: Ben Hoagland of Extortionist Joins The Zach Moonshine Show Friday night on Metal Devastation Radio, the airwaves got ripped wide open as Ben Hoagland, vocalist of Pacific Northwest deathcore wrecking crew Extortionist, joined The Zach Moonshine Show for an exclusive interview. With their crushing new album Stare Into the Seething Wounds set to drop October 10th, 2025 via Unique Leader Records, the timing couldn’t have been better for a deep dive into the chaos, creativity, and raw honesty behind the music. Deathcore With a Pacific Northwest Edge Right out of the gate, Zach put it bluntly: “You got the deathcore fucking heaviness in there, but you’ve also got the melodic stuff you might hear from Alice in Chains or Slipknot.” Ben didn’t hesitate to confirm it: “Those two bands, Alice in Chains and Slipknot, they’re our biggest influence. You hit the nail on the head.” That blend of grunge’s haunting atmosphere with the sheer intensity of extreme metal is what sets Extortionist apart. Forged in the rain-soaked shadows of the Pacific Northwest, their sound feels both familiar and completely their own — a storm of breakdowns, groove, and melody that hits hard and lingers long after the track ends. The Making of Stare Into the Seething Wounds The band’s upcoming album promises to be their most ambitious and punishing release yet. On the show, Ben broke down the recording process, the lyrical depth, and the emotional toll of crafting a record that reflects both personal struggle and collective rage. Zach summed it up perfectly: “This is what the world needs right now, man.” From the snippets previewed on the show, it’s clear Stare Into the Seething Wounds is going to raise the bar not just for Extortionist, but for the deathcore genre as a whole. Extortionist’s Rise Through the Underground Extortionist has already shared stages with Lorna Shore, Attila, Bodysnatcher, and supported KING810 — but they’ve stayed true to their underground roots. Their sound may be brutal and their presence commanding, but their ethos is pure DIY grit. That attitude made them a perfect fit for The Zach Moonshine Show, which continues to champion the bands pushing metal forward while staying connected to its raw beginnings. Final Thoughts Extortionist isn’t just another deathcore band. They’re a sonic force built on the bones of grunge, nu-metal, and extreme metal — music that reflects the unforgiving landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the unrelenting spirit of underground heavy music. Stare Into the Seething Wounds is dropping October 10th via Unique Leader Records, and if the interview was any indication, this record is going to be one for the books. Raise your horns, crank it until the walls shake, and support the underground.

AEROSMITH And YUNGBLUD Share “My Only Angel” Single From One More Time Collaborative EP Rock and roll just got a fresh jolt of electricity. Multi-Grammy Award-winning Rock And Roll Hall Of Famers AEROSMITH and British rock firebrand Yungblud have announced their forthcoming collaborative EP, One More Time, set for release on November 21 via Capitol Records. Marking AEROSMITH’s first new music in over 12 years, One More Time was produced by Matt Schwartz and will feature four original tracks co-written by AEROSMITH and Yungblud, with Steven Tyler and Yungblud trading vocals, plus a 2025 reimagining of the classic “Back In The Saddle.” The artwork, designed exclusively by Chrome Hearts’ Joe Foti, represents the brand’s first foray into album design. Fans can pre-order the EP digitally now and snag limited-edition vinyl copies. Today, the legends and the young gun dropped the first single, “My Only Angel,” now streaming on all platforms with an accompanying visual. Opening with Tyler’s haunting a cappella vocals, the track builds into a wash of guitar echoes, pulsing rhythm, piano flourishes, and the hypnotic refrain of Tyler and Yungblud in harmony before Joe Perry unleashes a scorching solo. STEVEN TYLER ON THE CHEMISTRY “The decision to meet Yungblud and make this music with him…was like plugging into pure electricity!” said Tyler. “When we sang and played together for the first time, there was an immediate unspoken vibration throughout the studio. It reminded me of the boys and I driving into Boston 50 years ago for the very first time. That same pressure, that necessity. To make it. To make it great. That’s the rock ’n’ roll way, baby!” JOE PERRY ON MEETING YUNGBLUD “A year ago, I got a call that Yungblud wanted to come to Sarasota to work with me. Four days in the studio and I knew this guy had the juice,” Perry explained. “I called Steven and said, ‘You have to hear this guy — he’s the real deal.’ Fast forward, and here we are with something that speaks for itself. Let the music do the talking.” YUNGBLUD ON LIVING HIS DREAM For Yungblud, real name Dominic Harrison, the collaboration is nothing short of surreal.“AEROSMITH have been such a staple of rock and roll for me, so I’ve been ready for this my whole life,” he said. “To sit here holding a vinyl that says AEROSMITH and Yungblud on it is blowing my mind. Steven and Joe are at the top of their game and working with them is a huge fucking honor. Rock ’n’ roll is waking the fuck up whether you like it or not. I’m loving every second.” HOW THE PROJECT CAME TO LIFE The partnership began with Yungblud contributing vocals on an early version of the epic “Hello Heaven, Hello.” The chemistry was undeniable, and what started as a guest spot blossomed into a full collaborative writing session that grew into the five-track EP. Longtime AEROSMITH allies also appear, including former Guns N’ Roses and Velvet Revolver drummer Matt Sorum behind the kit. Across the tracks, Perry and Brad Whitford’s guitars cut through with trademark fire, Tom Hamilton’s bass keeps the foundation steady, and Tyler’s unmistakable voice intertwines with Yungblud’s raw intensity. RECENT LIVE PREVIEW The announcement follows the trio’s September 7 performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, where Tyler, Perry, and Yungblud teamed up to honor Ozzy Osbourne with a medley of his greatest hits. The buzz from that night only added fuel to the fire leading up to today’s reveal. ONE MORE TIME EP TRACKLIST My Only Angel Problems Wild Woman A Thousand Days Back In The Saddle (2025 Mix) TWO GENERATIONS COLLIDE From the streets of Boston in 1970 to arenas worldwide, AEROSMITH have cemented themselves as one of the most iconic rock bands of all time. Meanwhile, Yungblud has risen as a modern torchbearer of rock, blending punk and alternative grit with stadium-sized ambition. Together, they bridge eras, creating something that looks backward and forward at once — a collision of legends and firebrands, reminding the world that rock ’n’ roll is very much alive. One More Time arrives November 21, 2025. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="74mV9qwlCgg"] Less

WATAIN Announce Final Album: Swedish Black Metal Titans Set to Close the Book After 30 Years In a move that will shake the foundations of the black metal underground and beyond, Swedish black metallers WATAIN have announced that their upcoming eighth studio album will also be their last. The band revealed the news earlier today (Saturday, September 20) with a solemn proclamation from their Temple, marking the beginning of their final chapter. The statement reads like scripture carved in fire: "We hereby announce that in III years' time — upon our 30th anniversary — WATAIN's eighth and final full-length album will be released. The album will mark the closure of a thirty-year-long magical Work, the last crossroad of WATAIN, after which the band will cease to exist… Instead of being consumed by the jaws of time, or broken upon the wheel of circumstance, we choose to let WATAIN return, unbowed and undefeated, back into the primordial chaos that once gave it life." For the next three years, the band promises new music, concerts, and more revelations leading up to their swan song. WATAIN insist this is not a farewell, but the beginning of a “sacrificial requiem,” an invitation for their followers to partake in shaping the band’s last era into something unforgettable. A Legacy Carved in Fire and Blood Formed in 1998, WATAIN emerged from Uppsala’s black metal underground with a mission to embody extremity in every sense. Over the years, they have grown into one of the most infamous and revered acts in the genre. Their live performances — equal parts ritual, chaos, and spectacle — have earned them both cult-like devotion and media notoriety. Fans and critics alike describe their legacy with awe, fear, confusion, or reverence — but never indifference. Their most recent release, The Agony & Ecstasy of Watain (2022, Nuclear Blast), was hailed as a ferocious and uncompromising addition to their discography, proving the band remains at full strength even after two decades of relentless creation. The Philosophy of Watain Frontman Erik Danielsson has often spoken about the philosophy that drives WATAIN. In a past interview, he explained his belief that true metal can only be written by those who live it: "The metal that always struck hardest, the metal that always kind of shook my soul has always been written by liberated spirits, by outlaw, free-thinking real rock and roll men and women… If I would write a song about death, I would probably wait until I had some kind of actual experience of it. And the same thing goes, but in a larger context, with metal music. I think it kind of demands a personal affiliation, a kind of deep-rooted compatibility between the artist and the music." This authenticity — lived, breathed, and burned into every note — has always been the lifeblood of WATAIN’s art. The Final Three Years The countdown has now begun. With three years until their 30th anniversary, WATAIN will spend this liminal era writing their final album, performing select shows, and unveiling what promises to be a deeply intentional closing act. True to their statement, these years will serve as a borderland between life and death, creation and dissolution. For the fans, this isn’t just the end of a band. It’s the culmination of a three-decade ritual, the last rites of one of black metal’s most uncompromising forces. As WATAIN themselves put it: "Take this message not as a farewell, but as the first note of a sacrificial requiem… To the DEATH and far beyond!" Less
