FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Casket Kids Unleash “Through Death,” A Blood Soaked Blend Of Metal, Hardcore, And Punk From Upcoming Album Black Miasma Huntsville, AL – April 24, 2026 – Huntsville’s own underground horror merchants The Casket Kids return with a brand new slab of chaos titled “Through Death,” the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming album Black Miasma. This time around, the band digs even deeper into the dark side of myth and consequence, delivering a track that warns of the horrors of necromancy, the price of forbidden rites, and what happens when the dead do not stay quiet. “Through Death” is a fierce fusion of metal, hardcore, and punk energy, built for fans who like their music raw, loud, and a little dangerous. It is the kind of track that does not just play in your speakers, it crawls around in your head after. “Through Death, They Live!” That is the band’s own chilling declaration behind the single, and it sets the tone perfectly for what The Casket Kids are building with Black Miasma. The band continues to sharpen their identity with a sound that pulls from old-school rebellion and horror soaked theatrics, carving out a lane that feels both familiar and twisted in all the right ways. FFO: The Misfits, Ramones, Black Flag, Pentagram ABOUT THE BAND The Casket Kids are:Christian Youngblood on vocalsPaul “Tokin” Dupont on guitarJohnny “Decay” Perna on bassBrennan “Pepper” Persing on drums Born out of the Huntsville underground, the band has already carved a reputation for blending horror imagery with punk attitude and heavy hitting metal aggression. Their debut album SHI opened the door. Black Miasma looks like the one kicking it off the hinges. Produced with the same raw intensity that defines their sound, The Casket Kids continue pushing forward without cleaning anything up for comfort. This is grit, distortion, and storytelling with teeth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FALSE MESSIAH RETURNS WITH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “SHADOWS OF FAITH” False Messiah keeps building their dark symphonic world with the release of “Shadows of Faith”, arriving April 22nd, 2026! False Messiah is a cinematic symphonic dark metal collective known for fusing orchestral drama with modern heavy production and dystopian storytelling. This new single continues the unfolding narrative from previous releases like Iron Sky and Rise of the Seven, all leading toward the upcoming full-length album Seven, due June 19 via Semetery Records. “Shadows of Faith” digs deeper into the psychological fallout of collapse and betrayal. As belief systems fracture and symbols lose their weight, the track turns inward, exploring how conviction survives when everything familiar falls apart. It is heavy, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, carrying that signature cinematic weight the band has been carving out since day one. Think sweeping orchestration colliding with modern metal aggression, wrapped in a story that feels both mythic and uncomfortably human. FOR FANS OF: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Lord of the Lost, Epica, In This Moment GENRES: Cinematic Metal, Symphonic Metal, Dark Metal, Gothic Thrash, Heavy Metal, Emo Nu Metal This is not just another release. It is another fracture in the system.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Evil Age Return with Crushing New Single “Demon Grip” – Video Premieres May 5, 2026 Niagara Escarpment – There’s no easing into this one. Evil Age are back, and they’re coming in swinging. Fresh off their signing with CDN Records, the band unleashes their latest single, “Demon Grip,” a vicious descent into the darker corners of the human mind. Where their debut established the tone, “Demon Grip” digs deeper and hits harder. This track is all about letting the wrong forces take hold. It explores what happens when you feed the negative, obsess over destructive thoughts, and slowly shut out anything good trying to break through. It’s not subtle. It’s not pretty. It’s a full-on psychological spiral set to bone-crushing riffs and relentless aggression. Evil Age continue to carve out their identity with a sound that feels ancient and hostile, blending suffocating heaviness with feral speed. This isn’t just music you throw on in the background. It’s something that drags you under and makes you sit in it. Lyrically, “Demon Grip” paints a bleak picture of transformation. Over time, the damage builds. The person you were fades out. What’s left is something colder, something unrecognizable. A shell overtaken by something you willingly let in. That’s the hook right there. This isn’t possession forced on you. It’s invited. And once it’s got you, it doesn’t let go. The official video for “Demon Grip” premieres May 5, 2026, and if it matches the intensity of the track, it’s going to leave a mark. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="8zzTfl0uo54"] CDN Records continues to back artists that don’t play it safe, and Evil Age fit that mold perfectly. No trends, no compromises. Just raw, punishing metal with something to say, even if it’s staring straight into the abyss. Stay locked in. This is just the next chapter, and it’s already getting darker.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIRST WORLD APPETITE UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “GET DOWN” FROM UPCOMING ALBUM ANGEL SHADES DEMISE A cinematic industrial alt-metal assault continues its descent https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/firstworldappetite/get-down... More

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FIRST WORLD APPETITE UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “GET DOWN” FROM UPCOMING ALBUM ANGEL SHADES DEMISE A cinematic industrial alt-metal assault continues its descent https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/firstworldappetite/get-down Dutch alternative industrial metal project First World Appetite has just dropped its crushing new single “Get Down,” the latest taste of the upcoming full-length album Angel Shades Demise, arriving June 12th. Led by Ronald de Groot, the project continues its mission of turning personal struggle into sonic confrontation, channeling mental health battles, inner conflict, and societal decay into a sound that hits like a machine with no off switch. The new single “Get Down” delivers a relentless blend of mechanical aggression, nu metal groove, and raw emotional intensity, setting the tone for what’s shaping up to be the project’s most punishing and honest release to date. Check out the new video on YouTube and subscribe! [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="EedbgIGQkdI"] Each visual release adds another layer to the project’s bleak, industrial aesthetic, reinforcing themes of internal war, manipulation, and survival under pressure. SOUND AND INFLUENCES Angel Shades Demise pulls from the industrial force of Ministry, the theatrical darkness of Marilyn Manson, and the groove-heavy punch of Rob Zombie, while also embracing the raw intensity of Slipknot and Korn. Expect distorted guitars, rapid-fire riffs, industrial synth layers, relentless drumming, and vocals that ride the razor’s edge between control and total collapse. ABOUT FIRST WORLD APPETITE Formed in 2017 by Ronald de Groot, First World Appetite is built on confrontation rather than escapism. The project dives headfirst into themes of mental health, identity collapse, social corruption, and the psychological cost of modern life. Previous releases include the 2022 album LXIV and a 2024 industrial reimagining of Tom Waits’ “Goin’ Out West,” further cementing the project’s commitment to raw, unfiltered expression. This isn’t polished fantasy. It’s pressure, release, and truth wired straight into distortion.
