FEATURED RELEASES IRON BONES – “STRIGOI (BRINGER OF DEATH)” OFFICIAL VIDEO From the upcoming album Poison Riot (out February 19, 2026) Chile’s Iron Bones deliver a relentless surge of Heavy Speed Roll on their latest single “Strigoi (Bringer of Death)”, the first official video from their forthcoming full-length Poison Riot. The track showcases the band’s uncompromising blend of speed, grit, and raw rock and roll aggression, driven by razor sharp riffs and a no compromise attitude. Blending the ferocity of Motörhead, Venom, Discharge, and Midnight, Iron Bones push a sound built on velocity, attitude, and intent rather than nostalgia.

Four Altars of Sin unites four distinct acts from the Nordic underground:Doomherre, Hexjakt, Ordos, and Kaiser, each contributing exclusive material to a unified statement of modern doom heaviness.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “Sketching the Soul” Explores the Hidden Struggles Behind One of Extreme Metal’s Most Iconic Visual Artists A new feature documentary from Poppitt Productions takes viewers inside the life and creative grind of legendary artist Tony Koehl 2026 – The world of extreme metal has always been defined by its sound, but just as much by its visuals. Now, a new documentary pulls back the curtain on one of the genre’s most recognizable and prolific artists. Sketching the Soul, directed by filmmaker Tanner Poppitt, is a raw and personal feature documentary following acclaimed graphic artist Tony Koehl as he navigates the daily realities of life as a working artist in today’s fast moving, often unforgiving creative economy. Known for his unmistakable style and extensive catalog of album artwork across the extreme metal landscape, Koehl has contributed iconic visuals for bands such as Job For A Cowboy, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Waking the Cadaver, among countless others. His work has helped define the visual identity of modern death metal and beyond. This documentary goes beyond the artwork and into the life behind it. A Story Behind the Canvas Sketching the Soul follows Koehl through the pressures, persistence, and uncertainty that come with sustaining a long term creative career in an industry that constantly demands evolution while rarely offering stability. As the film explores, even a legendary name in metal artwork is not immune to the grind of deadlines, changing markets, and the constant challenge of staying relevant while staying true to a signature style. A quote from the production summarizes the heart of the film: “Sketching the Soul follows legendary visual artist Tony Koehl through the trials and tribulations in order to still be a viable working artist in today’s environment.” Built for Fans of Iconic Metal Art This documentary will resonate with fans of influential metal illustrators and visual creators such as Dan Seagrave, Demorph, Wes Boscoter, Ed Repka, and Derek Riggs, offering a deep dive into the culture and craft that shaped some of metal’s most unforgettable imagery.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FAR FROM YOUR SUN'S ACCLAIMED ALBUM A DREAM OF HELL OUT NOW A haunting, immersive journey through shadow, emotion, and existential depth Streaming: https://www.submithub.com/link/far-from-your-sun Far From Your Sun's third studio album, A Dream of Hell, is available now, delivering an emotionally powerful and atmospheric progressive rock experience that has already earned praise from critics around the world. Known for their deeply immersive sound, the project continues to carve its own lane within modern progressive rock, drawing comparisons to Porcupine Tree, Anathema, and Riverside. Far From Your Sun (FFYS) is not built around spectacle or performance culture. Instead, it exists as an artistic philosophy centered on authenticity, emotional truth, and multidisciplinary expression. Rooted in the belief that art is a universal language, FFYS seeks to connect people beyond borders, trends, and identity, favoring introspection over image and depth over visibility. A DARKER, MORE URGENT CHAPTER Following In the Beginning Was the Emotion (2016) and The Origin of Suffering (2021), A Dream of Hell emerges as a more immediate and instinctive work. Described by the project as "an uncontrollable surge, a flame sparked by necessity," the album captures a raw creative urgency that feels both unplanned and essential. What makes A Dream of Hell especially compelling is its emotional honesty. The album does not smooth over its darker edges or soften its impact. Instead, it leans fully into internal conflict, vulnerability, and existential weight, offering listeners a deeply human experience that is both confronting and cathartic. Yet even within its darkest moments, the record carries a sense of direction. Rather than lingering in despair, FFYS uses emotional turbulence as a pathway toward transformation, revealing a form of light that can only emerge through darkness. CRITICAL RECEPTION Since its release, A Dream of Hell has received praise from progressive rock and music publications for its immersive, cinematic approach and emotional depth. Prog Critique describes the release as a work of "chiaroscuro," where music constantly shifts between shadow and light, favoring atmosphere and imagination over literal interpretation. Teethsound praises the album's sincerity, calling it "an immersive progressive rock experience that explores emotional darkness with uncommon sincerity," framing it as an examination of what remains when illusion collapses. Allen Peterson Reviews calls it a deeply emotional journey, writing that the album transforms suffering into connection and beauty rather than confinement. Musocasa further emphasizes FFYS's commitment to authenticity, highlighting A Dream of Hell as a fearless and emotionally rich statement in modern progressive rock. Across all perspectives, one theme remains consistent: this is not background listening. It is an experience designed to be felt as much as heard. TRACKLIST HellEternityLaetaTyger Each composition functions as a chapter in a larger psychological narrative, moving through silence, vastness, melancholy, and existential questioning. ARTISTIC PHILOSOPHY Far From Your Sun continues to reject conventional industry expectations. There are no concerts, no interviews, and no traditional artist identity reveal. Instead, the project expands into multidisciplinary collaboration, incorporating photography, painting, and poetry to create immersive artistic environments where sound interacts with visual and literary expression. This approach reinforces FFYS's central belief: meaning is found not in exposure, but in experience. PRODUCTION DETAILS Produced by: Far From Your SunMix Engineer: Sandro EncisoMastered by: Brett Caldas-Lima (Tower Studio) Stream the album: https://www.submithub.com/link/far-from-your-sun ABOUT THE RELEASE A Dream of Hell stands as a bold and uncompromising artistic statement, immersive, cinematic, and deeply human in its exploration of truth. Rather than offering easy answers, it invites listeners to confront darkness, embrace vulnerability, and discover meaning through the journey itself. For those willing to lose themselves in an unforgettable progressive rock experience, A Dream of Hell is available now.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Dimension Of The Abandoned Unveil Self-Titled Debut Album on Digital and Vinyl Sacramento Progressive Melodic Blackened Metal Project Delivers Cinematic, Six-Track Debut SACRAMENTO, CA – Sacramento-based progressive melodic blackened heavy metal project Dimension Of The Abandoned presents their self-titled debut album, a cinematic and emotionally driven six-track release that blends progressive metal complexity, melodic songwriting, atmospheric blackened textures, and classic heavy metal influence. The album is available now in both digital format and limited edition vinyl LP, offering listeners a physical and immersive way to experience the record’s layered sound and dynamic range. Led by the official lyric video single “Journey To The Ethereal,” the album introduces a world of expansive arrangements, dark melodic themes, and immersive storytelling, showcasing the band’s focus on strong composition and long-form songwriting. Guitarist, bassist, composer, and producer Rick Stallkamp describes the vision behind the project: “After leaving Niviane, I wanted to prove to them and to myself that the songs I had written, which were rejected, really were the next step forward and could connect with metal fans of any style. The main goal with Dimension is to write songs that last, pieces that mix different metal worlds but still feel unified and honest.” Originally conceived in 2022 as a solo creative outlet, Dimension Of The Abandoned evolved into a full collaboration with the addition of Blake Lamoureux (Ophidian Memory), whose vocal performance and lead guitar work helped define the final identity of the album. The band adds: “This album brings together our shared love for progressive metal, melodic and atmospheric blackened metal, and classic heavy metal. We wanted to create something that feels timeless, emotional, and built for repeated listening.” Across six tracks, the album moves through sweeping progressive structures, haunting atmospheres, and powerful melodic hooks. Songs such as “The Onyx Tower,” “Deimos,” and “Touch Of The Meaningless” highlight the band’s emphasis on depth, dynamics, and memorable songwriting. Produced and mixed by Rick Stallkamp, and mastered by Dan Spencer (Audio Sorcerer), the record delivers a balanced sonic experience that allows each layer to breathe while maintaining impact and clarity. The visual identity is anchored by the artwork “Corruption” by Chris Cold, alongside logo and graphic design by Luciferium War Graphics, reinforcing the album’s themes of isolation, decay, and inner transformation. With the release now available on vinyl and digital platforms, Dimension Of The Abandoned invites listeners into a fully realized sonic world that bridges progressive metal, melodic blackened metal, atmospheric metal, and classic heavy metal.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SOOTHSAYER Launch Vinyl Pre-Orders for New Album Chapter IV via CDN Records, New Single “Kick Throat” Out Now Streaming + Artist Page: https://cdnrecords.com/label-artists/soothsayer/Pre-orders live now: https://cdnrecords.com/shop/soothsayer-chapter-iv/ Quebec City’s old-school thrash war machine SOOTHSAYER are back swinging harder than ever with their new single and video “Kick Throat,” now out via CDN Records. This is not a comeback. It’s a continuation of a 40-year brawl that never stopped breathing. Formed in 1985, SOOTHSAYER carved their name deep into the foundations of Canadian thrash during the genre’s most violent and defining era. Built on raw aggression, speed, and zero compromise, the band first detonated into the underground with their infamous 1986 demo To Be a Real Terrorist, a tape that spread fast through tape-trading networks like wildfire. From there, cuts like “Death Radiation,” “Troops of Hate,” and “Kill Oppression” locked in their reputation as one of the most unfiltered voices in crossover thrash. Bay Area velocity meets punk hostility, no polish, no compromise. Their classic era release Have a Good Time and deep underground catalog helped define a distinctly Canadian strain of thrash built on grit instead of gloss and attitude instead of trend chasing. After stepping back, the original lineup including members from the earliest demo era reunited in 2007 and picked up right where the chaos left off. Now in 2026, SOOTHSAYER return with “Kick Throat,” the first strike from the upcoming full length Chapter IV, also arriving via CDN Records. The track delivers exactly what longtime followers expect, razor wire riffs, breakneck pacing, and a venom soaked vocal attack that sounds like it crawled out of the pit still burning. “Kick Throat” is available now alongside its official video, setting the tone for what is shaping up to be another unrelenting chapter in the band’s long running legacy of destruction. Chapter IV promises more of the same uncompromising philosophy SOOTHSAYER have always stood on. No trends. No reinvention for approval. Just pure thrash delivered the way it was meant to be heard, loud, fast, and dangerous. Pre-orders for Chapter IV are live now:https://cdnrecords.com/shop/soothsayer-chapter-iv/ They don’t follow the times. They drag the past forward and make it bite again.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VHS SIGN WITH CDN Records Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada — From the frozen edges of the underground comes a band that has never played by the rulebook and never had any interest in starting now. VHS, forged over a decade ago in the desolate industrial sprawl of Thunder Bay, has officially signed with CDN Records, marking a new chapter for one of the most persistent and unapologetically disruptive names in underground metal. Built on a foundation of nostalgia, chaos, and DIY defiance, VHS has spent more than ten years carving out their own lane. Across eight full-length albums, along with a steady stream of splits, EPs, and singles, the band has stayed true to a vision that blends old school metal grit with a deep love for video rental era culture. That aesthetic runs through everything they do, equal parts homage and rebellion, with a tongue in cheek attitude that refuses to sit quietly in any corner of the scene. What makes VHS stand out is not just longevity, but evolution. While the spirit has remained raw and unfiltered since day one, each release has pushed into new territory, experimenting with sound, concept, and execution without ever losing the underground edge that built their reputation in the first place. It is that balance of respect for tradition and willingness to break format that made them a natural fit for CDN Records. CDN Records continues to build a roster rooted in authenticity and forward motion, championing artists who refuse to dilute their identity for convenience or trend. The addition of VHS strengthens that mission, bringing in a band that embodies consistency, creativity, and controlled chaos in equal measure. More updates on new releases and future plans from VHS will be announced through CDN Records in the coming months.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HEXJAKT UNLEASH OCCULT DOOM RITUAL ON FOUR ALTARS OF SIN SPLIT OUT NOW VIA MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN RECORDS Stream: https://recordu.lnk.to/Four_Altars_of_SinPurchase: https://www.majesticmountainrecords.com/products/four-altars-of-sin-4-way-split-with-kaiser-doomherre-hexjakt-and-ordos Västmanland, Sweden — Swedish doom force Hexjakt emerge from the underground with a crushing contribution to the four-way split Four Altars of Sin, out now via Majestic Mountain Records. Formed in 2024, Hexjakt have rapidly established themselves within the Scandinavian doom and stoner underground with a sound defined by weight, patience, and atmosphere. Their approach feels less like a traditional band and more like a slow-moving ritual, where repetition becomes pressure and distortion becomes environment. Built on thick, fuzz-drenched guitars, cavernous low end, and deliberate pacing, Hexjakt’s sound sits at the intersection of collapse and transcendence. Every passage is stretched, sharpened, and allowed to breathe until it becomes something heavier than structure alone. A SOUND ROOTED IN OCCULT ATMOSPHERE Hexjakt’s identity draws from occult symbolism, existential dread, human fragility, and the unknown forces shaping perception and control. Nothing in their music is rushed. It unfolds gradually, layering tension until it becomes immersive and consuming. Their contribution to Four Altars of Sin reflects this philosophy, delivering a bleak, unfiltered vision of modern existence where power, decay, and shadowed intent sit just beneath the surface. FOUR ALTARS OF SIN — A SHARED NORTHERN RITUAL The release unites four distinct voices from the Nordic underground: Doomherre — Blood Relics of Old (6:51)Ordos — Inferno (10:50)Hexjakt — Svartkonst (6:38)Kaiser — Sonic Satan (11:14) Each band contributes exclusive material, forming a unified statement of heaviness, atmosphere, and intent. The split functions as a collective ritual space, highlighting the evolving identity of Scandinavian doom at its most uncompromising. RELEASE DETAILS Four Altars of SinRelease Date: June 26, 2026Label: Majestic Mountain RecordsFormat: Limited Vinyl / Digital Released via Majestic Mountain Records, the project continues the label’s commitment to underground heavy music and collaborative releases that push beyond traditional album structures. ABOUT HEXJAKT Hexjakt is a doom metal trio from Västmanland, Sweden, formed in 2024. The band crafts slow-moving, atmospheric heavy music built on dense fuzz, deep bass resonance, and hypnotic pacing. Their work favors immersion over immediacy, constructing sonic environments rather than conventional song structures. Lyrical themes explore occultism, existential uncertainty, cosmic dread, and the fragility of human perception. Check them out on YouTube and subscribe!

Doomherre contribute Blood Relics of Old, a slow-burning descent through plague-ridden imagery and ancient weight. The track moves with deliberate force, circling themes of pursuit, excavation, and inevitability, digging into what has been buried and refusing to look away from what resurfaces. It follows the path of a forgotten figure with nowhere left to run, anchored in classic doom tradition with zero excess and no shortcuts. Stripped, heavy, and unrelenting, the song stands firmly on its own while sharing spiritual ground with acts like Bonegoat and Plaguelords, carrying the same raw, grounded approach to doom without compromise.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LORD GRYPHUS Announce Debut Death Metal Album "Summoning The King Of Death" Featuring Guest Appearances From Creeping Death And Soulfly Members Presave & stream: https://lordgryphus.bandcamp.com/album/summoning-the-king-of-death-2 Austin, Texas death metal outfit Lord Gryphus have emerged from the underground with their debut full-length album Summoning the King of Death, set for release on July 17, 2026. Built on the foundations of early 90s extreme metal, the band delivers a raw, ritual-driven sound that blends crushing aggression with oppressive atmosphere and a deep reverence for death. Channeling the spirit of genre pioneers like Morbid Angel, Gorefest, Sepultura, Grave, Autopsy, Incantation, and Sinister, Lord Gryphus forge a sound rooted in primitive death metal execution, atmosphere, and confrontation. The band operates as a three-piece anonymous unit, all masked, drawing from deep roots in the extreme metal underground. Their identity and concept revolve around execution, sacrifice, and ritual devotion to a carrion deity known as Lord Gryphus, inspired by Vultur gryphus, the Andean condor, a symbol tied to death, transcendence, and spiritual power. Lyrically and thematically, the band confronts colonial violence, cultural erasure, and imposed religion, while honoring ancestral traditions and forgotten histories. The result is a release that is as ideological as it is sonic, built around ritual, resistance, and death as a force of reverence rather than fear. Summoning the King of Death was recorded at Red Nova Ranch in Bastrop, Texas with Jeff Henson handling tracking, reamping, guitars, and bass. Vocals were recorded and produced by Kike Valderrama at Buziraco's Lair Studio. The album was mixed and mastered by Andrés Mauricio Gallón at Sound Blast Studios in Armenia, Colombia. The record includes a cover of Troops of Doom originally by Sepultura, along with guest vocals from Reese Alavi (Creeping Death) and a guitar solo by Mike De León (Flesh Hoarder / Soulfly), adding further weight to its underground impact. Lord Gryphus will also appear alongside legendary death metal veterans Internal Suffering on select dates of their 30th Anniversary North American tour this July, bringing their ceremonial style of devastation to stages across the southern United States.
