FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metal Hammer & Louder Name Distant’s “Nothing Left To Hate” One of the Best New Metal Songs You Need to Hear Dutch/Slovakian deathcore bruisers Distant are turning heads with their ferocious new single, Nothing Left To Hate, out now via Century Media Records. The track has already earned major acclaim, landing on Metal Hammer and Louder’s lists of the best new metal songs right now—a massive nod to the band’s raw, relentless sound. "2025 was a seriously big year for deathcore, and 2026 already looks like it'll keep the momentum up. Distant kick things off with the utterly feral Nothing Left To Hate, a track that walks away from modern deathcore's high-end production to get back to the genre's gritty, gruesome roots, pig squeals and all," says Metal Hammer. The single marks a return to deathcore’s unpolished, brutal essence, packed with crushing riffs, relentless drumming, and guttural vocals that leave no room for compromise. Fans looking for intensity, aggression, and pure chaos will find it all here. Distant will also be hitting the road in the UK and EU opening for Sylosis, bringing their feral live energy directly to audiences across the continent. Stream “Nothing Left To Hate” now via Century Media Records and experience the raw power of Distant. Check it out here: https://www.loudersound.com/best-new-metal-songs-alter-bridge-hanabie-of-the-lost The band comments:“‘Nothing Left To Hate’ is DISTANT at full destructive force. Thicker riffs, deeper grooves, and a raw dive into self-destruction and chaos. This track is built for circle pits, rage workouts, and letting the anger out.” The release lands just days before DISTANT hit the road with Sylosis for a massive European tour beginning January 16, putting the band in front of thousands of new fans across the continent. The momentum follows an already relentless run, including the Evisceratour across the USA and Canada with Ingested and Ov Sulfur, plus their own Dutch Xmas Special supporting the local scene. DISTANT have become one of the defining forces in modern European deathcore. Blending brutal death metal, slam, noise, and beatdown with a hyper-dissonant atmosphere of impending doom, the band has evolved far beyond their early metalcore roots formed among friends in Rotterdam and Bratislava. What remains is pure sonic annihilation, refined and weaponized.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BRAVEWORDS FEATURES BABYLON AD’S NEW VIDEO “POWER OF MUSIC” Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that Bravewords has spotlighted the latest music video from veteran hard rock outfit Babylon AD. The feature highlights the band’s new single “Power Of Music,” taken from their sixth studio album When The World Stops, released September 3, 2025 through Kivel Records and Apocalypse Records. Written by vocalist and songwriter Derek Davis, “Power Of Music” pays tribute to the artists and genres that shaped him coming up, from Motown and early blues pioneers to the classic and arena rock bands that defined his generation. Musically, the track hits with a melodic high-energy drive while staying true to Babylon AD’s established hard rock grit. The accompanying video intercuts live shots of the band with archival performance footage from influential artists across decades, reinforcing the single’s theme and title. Formed in 1987 in the San Francisco Bay Area, Babylon AD originally operated under the name The Persuaders before signing to Arista Records under legendary music executive Clive Davis. Their gold-certified self-titled debut (1990) produced MTV staples “Bang Go The Bells” and “The Kid Goes Wild,” the latter appearing in promotions for RoboCop 2. Following the release of their 2024 album Rome Wasn’t Built In A Day, Babylon AD returned to steady touring across the US, UK, and Greece, pushing new momentum for the long-running Bay Area outfit and reaffirming their place among hard rock’s most road-tested survivors. The Bravewords feature marks another strong media response for the band as they continue supporting When The World Stops.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ARCHFIEND ANNOUNCES NEW CONCEPT ALBUM “LOST FOREVER” OUT NOW! Midwestern metal outfit Archfiend dropped its latest album Lost Forever on December 19, 2025, firing off a hard-driving mix of classic Metal and Hard Rock that tips the hat to Metallica, Megadeth, and Iron Maiden while pushing into darker thematic territory than most bands are willing to tread. At first pass, Lost Forever feels like a straight-up good-time, fist-in-the-air metal record. The riffs are big, the hooks land, and it scratches that old-school itch. But once you sit with it, the truth kicks in. Lost Forever is a full-blown concept album about human trafficking, following the harrowing story of a 14-year-old girl named Jenna Lee. The narrative tracks Jenna’s life as she struggles under an abusive father after the death of her mother. She runs away, meets a boy, and believes she's found a lifeline. She hasn’t. The boy never loved her and ultimately sells her into a trafficking ring run by a man named Charlie. Held captive with no hope of rescue, Jenna ends her own life to escape the nightmare. It’s grim reality told through chapters, visuals, and music that refuses to look away. Frontman Brian Lee doesn’t sugarcoat it“It sounds like a good time hard-driving album when you first listen to it, but then you listen and watch the videos that go along with the album. This album is a concept album about human trafficking. There is a story that plays along with each chapter then you realize this is an album. You can cry too.” The story’s visual side is handled through CGI animation, linking each chapter of the album with its own cinematic sequence. It’s an unusual combo of old-school metal attitude and modern storytelling that makes the impact impossible to ignore. No label. No management. No safety net. Archfiend is rolling this one out the old-fashioned way and letting the music do the talking. Word travels fast in metal, and Lost Forever isn’t the kind of record that slips quietly into the pile. Production Credits Produced and recorded by: Paul Schroeder at Megatons Studio (Madison, Wisconsin) CGI Animation and Direction: Michael Lynn Release Info Artist: Archfiend Title: Lost Forever Release Date: December 19, 2025 Genre: Metal / Hard Rock Label: None Watch the concept film that goes with the album at the link below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3YxeOzlQ7Q&list=PLzhdFMtlOUC-doXdfnqsezqpa7uyRmQZD For Fans Of Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden Archfiend isn’t trying to reinvent the wheel, just run it over something real. Lost Forever hits hard, tells a story worth paying attention to, and proves you can stay DIY without sounding second-rate.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Voidmonger Unleashes “Lies of Aquarius,” a Darkly Cinematic Industrial / Argent Metal Experience Release Date: October 9, 2024Stream & Download: https://www.submithub.com/link/voidmonger-lies-of-aquariusFor Fans Of: Mechina, Mick Gordon, Fear Factory Prepare to step into the abyss. Voidmonger, the visionary audiovisual project fusing industrial metal, movement art, fireshow, and narrative storytelling, has officially released their first concept album, Lies of Aquarius. Available on all digital platforms and as a limited vinyl edition, the album is the opening chapter of a three-part saga exploring cosmic justice, human arrogance, and the dark machinations of the universe. At the center of Voidmonger’s universe is the Juggernaut, a mobile, autonomous tower-stage of fire and steel. Through it, the Preacher—the enigmatic ambassador of the god-like Creator—delivers judgment on humanity’s failings. Accompanied by the Mechanic, the Executor, and the Slaves to the Void, the Preacher enforces the Creator’s sentence: a stark confrontation with the void of eternal emptiness for human hubris and moral transgression. Lies of Aquarius sets the tone for this intergalactic mythos, combining the crushing power of industrial riffs with cinematic soundscapes and sci-fi storytelling. The album navigates themes of cosmic judgment, the consequences of exploiting faith for personal gain, and the eternal struggle between civilizations that evolve or collapse under the weight of their own sins. “Lies of Aquarius is more than music—it’s an experience. It’s the first step into the Voidmonger universe, where sound, story, and spectacle collide,” says Voidmonger’s creator. Production Credits: Produced and mixed by Otus Hobst, mastered by Jan Zborovjan. Fans of Mechina, Mick Gordon, and Fear Factory will find themselves at home in Voidmonger’s sonic and narrative depth—a relentless exploration of industrial metal pushed to its most cinematic extremes.

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY Drops Music Video For New Single "Name In Blood" Ahead Of Engines Of Demolition Album Release BLACK LABEL SOCIETY has rolled out the official music video for its newest single "Name In Blood", shot by longtime visual partner Justin H. Reich of Three Thirty-Three Creative. The track marks the fourth single from the band’s upcoming studio album Engines Of Demolition, due out March 27 via MNRK Heavy. The new single follows "Broken And Blind", "The Gallows", and "Lord Humungus", continuing a campaign that has BLS fans worked up the way they used to get for new Ozzy LPs at the record store. The album will clock in with 15 tracks, including "Ozzy’s Song", an obvious nod to Zakk Wylde’s decades-long partnership with Ozzy Osbourne — and let’s be honest, nobody else has earned the right to write that tune. New Music Video Fueled by Riffs, Sweat, and Wylde’s Signature Tone The "Name In Blood" video plays to the band's strengths: muscular riffs, Wylde’s unmistakable pinch harmonics, and that biker-bar-but-epic aesthetic the band practically trademarked. Reich’s been shooting this crew for years, so the visuals feel locked-in and lived-in rather than overproduced. From an SEO angle Black Label Society "Name In Blood" music video, Black Label Society Engines Of Demolition, and Zakk Wylde new album are already trending phrases across the metal web, proving that nearly three decades in, BLS still moves the needle. Zakk Wylde on Songwriting: "It Always Starts With the Riff" If you’ve been following Wylde for any amount of time, his approach hasn’t changed: riffs first, everything else after. Speaking to Rebel Radio 92.5 FM back in May 2025, Wylde put it in plain language: "For me, it always starts with the riff… Especially with the heavy stuff, for me it's usually always the riff. And the riff will dictate where the song's going." Same philosophy. Same results. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In another 2025 chat with American Musical Supply, Wylde admitted that having a home studio made the whole process more efficient, not more precious: "Most the time when we would do a record, it's just like there's an implosion of ideas… Even with 'The Gallows' and 'Lord Humungus', it was just kinda like I was jamming on 'em in my weight room on my amp… put a melody to it… we recorded it just then." No spreadsheets. No committee meetings. Just riffs, reps, and results. That’s how rock used to be made and frankly, it’s refreshing to see someone still do it that way. Engines Of Demolition Track Listing For fans planning ahead — and vinyl collectors already refreshing their browser — here’s the full tracklist: 1. Name In Blood2. Gatherer Of Souls3. Hand Of Tomorrows Grave4. Better Days & Wiser Times5. Broken And Blind6. The Gallows7. Above & Below8. Back To Me9. Lord Humungus10. Pedal To The Floor11. Broken Pieces12. The Stranger13. Ozzy’s Song14. Name In Blood (Unblackened)15. Lord Humungus (Unblackened) From Ozzy’s Wingman to Metal Pillar Wylde formed BLACK LABEL SOCIETY in 1998, building the band in between constant touring and studio work with Ozzy Osbourne. For anyone keeping score, Zakk’s been at Ozzy’s side for nearly four decades, appearing on classic records like No More Tears, Ozzmosis, and Black Rain. Guitar World’s put him on their cover more than some players have sold records. With nearly a dozen studio albums under their belt, BLACK LABEL SOCIETY has sold millions, charted high, and stayed on the road when a lot of bands from their era quietly checked out. Order Of The Black (2010) and Catacombs Of The Black Vatican (2014) both cracked the top five on the hard rock charts. Not bad for a band born out of riffs and stubbornness. Current Lineup BLACK LABEL SOCIETY 2026 remains: Zakk Wylde – vocals, guitar, pianoJohn "JD" DeServio – bassJeff Fabb – drumsDario Lorina – guitar Photo credit: Justin Reich (courtesy of 30 Miles North PR) [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="u4C0g5gFr1Y"] Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Divisions of Grandeur Unveil Debut Album The Prevalence of Suffering North Carolina / Florida’s Funeral Doom Visionaries Deliver a Crushing, Symphonic Statement North Carolina / Florida – January 2026 – Emerging from the shadows of North Carolina and Florida, Divisions of Grandeur announces the wide release of their debut album, The Prevalence of Suffering. Originally soft-released in July 2025, the album is now available for streaming and download via Bandcamp, offering a bleak, immersive journey into the depths of symphonic funeral doom. Formed in 2018 after years of incubation, Divisions of Grandeur channels the mournful atmospheres of genre titans like Evoken, Disembowelment, Skepticism, and My Dying Bride. With deliberate, crushing riffs and sprawling compositions, their music evokes a weighty, cinematic despair that slowly envelops the listener—a musical experience that is as emotionally heavy as it is sonically massive. Recorded, mixed, and mastered by Andrew and Liam at Room Two Studio in Sylva, NC, The Prevalence of Suffering captures the band’s full vision of sorrow and monumental heaviness. Each track is a meticulously crafted descent into a world of slow, oppressive, and symphonic doom, a testament to the band’s dedication to atmosphere and emotional resonance. “This album is our statement on the human condition, framed through the lens of funeral doom,” says the band. “It’s about confronting despair, immersing in it, and finding a strange sense of catharsis in the weight of suffering.” The Prevalence of Suffering is now available for streaming and purchase at https://divisionsofgrandeur.bandcamp.com/album/the-prevalence-of-suffering Genre: Symphonic Funeral DoomFor fans of: Evoken, Disembowelment, Skepticism, My Dying Bride Media Contact: zach@metaldevastationradio.com Connect with the band: https://www.facebook.com/divofgranhttps://youtube.com/@divisionsofgrandeurhttps://divisionsofgrandeur.bandcamp.com/album/the-prevalence-of-suffering Contact for the Band:Andrew Gammill, b102dth@hotmail.comLiam Hamning, dead_mans_eyes@yahoo.com Less

Revolver highlighted the track on January 9th, praising DISTANT for their uncompromising heaviness and sharpened songwriting approach. In their feature, Revolver wrote: “There’s plenty to love about ‘Nothing Left to Hate.’ Dutch deathcore outfit Distant go for the throat with a steely, slam-driven single full of exquisitely inky grooves and harmonized pinch squeals that soar through the air like a squadron of blood-thirsty barn owls. Wrapped in metaphorical chains, vocalist Alan Gnja bellows through personal-failures-focused lyrics in which he explains he’s dragging the ghosts of every past self around like he’s Jacob fucking Marley.” With its crushing tone, meticulous production and focus on personal reckoning, “Nothing Left to Hate” continues DISTANT’s forward momentum as one of the most dominant forces in modern heavy music. The band’s latest video for the single is streaming now and continues to generate global attention across metal media outlets and fan communities alike. Metal Devastation PR congratulates DISTANT on the well earned recognition and salutes Revolver Magazine for continuing to spotlight heavyweight acts pushing the scene forward.

Thicker riffs, deeper grooves, and a raw dive into self-destruction and chaos. This track is built for circle pits, rage workouts, and letting the anger out.” The release lands just days before DISTANT hit the road with Sylosis for a massive European tour beginning January 16, putting the band in front of thousands of new fans across the continent.

Rotting Christ Announce 2026 North American Tour with Behemoth, Deicide and Immolation Greek extreme metal legends Rotting Christ are gearing up for a full-scale North American assault in 2026, joining forces with Behemoth, Deicide and Immolation for The Godless IV Tour. After thirty five years in the trenches, Sakis Tolis and company are showing zero interest in slowing down. If anything, they’re swinging harder than ever. Fresh off the release of their fourteenth studio album Pro Xristou and the massive live set 35 Years of Evil Existence: Live in Lycabettus, the band is now adding live firepower to their already busy schedule. A re-recorded version of their groundbreaking album Aealo is set to drop on January 23, keeping momentum rolling straight into tour season. Metal Injection summed up the current era with blunt admiration: “Even after a mind-blowing thirty five years and fourteen records, Rotting Christ might actually be at their very best right now”. A True Legends Tour, Not a Nostalgia Trip The Godless IV trek isn’t one of those “four bands share a poster and nobody remembers who played what” situations. This is a rare alignment of lifers from the early days of extreme metal who actually survived the wars. Between them, these bands built entire subgenres and influenced half of the scene that came after. As Sakis himself put it, this is a run with bands that have been “in the metal scene since its creation” and are still out there playing the real dark stuff. The tour hits 24 dates across the US and Canada, with Rotting Christ bowing out of select festival plays and location-specific dates. Fans looking for something extra grim should mark Maryland Deathfest on the calendar. That appearance will be Rotting Christ’s first time at MDF and will feature an exclusive old-school set drawn from Thy Mighty Contract, Non Serviam and other early classics from 1989 through 1995. That’s the kind of set most fans assumed would never happen again. Tickets are available now at the band’s official site. https://www.rotting-christ.com/en The Godless IV Tour Dates (with Behemoth, Deicide, Rotting Christ and Immolation except where noted) A Band That Refuses to Fade Out Quietly While some veteran bands try to coast on name recognition, Rotting Christ continue to write new material that actually moves units and impresses critics. Pro Xristou earned some of the strongest reviews of their career: Metal Hammer called it “their most accessible – and perhaps most magnificent – album yet”. No Clean Singing praised its arena-ready sound. Blabbermouth highlighted the importance of their new live album as a historical document. Heavy Music HQ noted the band’s stamina, saying they show “no signs of slowing down or stopping any time soon”. The upcoming Aealo re-recording is also stirring interest. When it dropped in 2010, Aealo pushed cultural and historical influences into black metal long before it became fashionable. Angry Metal Guy noted that it shows the band “thinking outside the box”, while Last Rites highlighted its mythical, geographical flavor — elements the Tolis brothers have always known how to wield without turning their music into a museum exhibit. What’s Next Pro Xristou and 35 Years of Evil Existence: Live in Lycabettus are available now through Season of Mist, and Aealo (Re-Recorded) lands January 23. If the current pace is any indication, this next chapter isn’t about victory laps or coffee table retrospectives. It’s about staying creative, staying active and staying dangerous. And honestly, it’s refreshing to see a legacy band that treats its legacy as fuel instead of a cushion. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="gmsVeuuKiw0"] Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ABRASHED Returns With Debut Album Unfinished Business — A Raw, Progressive Metal Statement Release Date: October 13, 2025Genre: Heavy Metal / Progressive / ThrashFor Fans Of: Megadeth, Helmet, Tool Stream and download: https://www.submithub.com/link/abrashed-unfinished-business In a metal scene often obsessed with polish and perfection, ABRASHED emerges as a bold reminder that true artistry comes from grit, fire, and unfinished business. Formed during the isolation of the COVID lockdowns, ABRASHED channels raw emotion, decades of untapped creativity, and a fearless DIY ethos into their debut album, Unfinished Business. What began as a reunion between founding members Cliff David Greenberg and guitarist Sean McMechen to revisit their metal roots quickly evolved into something much larger. With drummer and songwriter Eddie Gresely joining the mix, the trio embraced improvisation, remote collaboration across Florida and New Jersey, and a relentless drive to create something authentic. The result is an album that fuses crushing riffs, complex rhythms, and introspective melodies into a sound that defies simple classification. "In a world chasing polished perfection, ABRASHED stands as a testament to raw creation fueled by decades of unfinished business and unbreakable grit," says the band. "This is DIY stripped to the bone. A restless fire that refused to dim. A fierce declaration that true art is made, not manufactured." Early reactions are already buzzing: Stampede: "Angst-driven vocal performance and I can hear the rip-roaring guitar, kick and fierce drumming!" Fineline: "I really loved how the percussions give that marching type of vibe and your vocals really shine through." Storm: "I really enjoy the groovy melodies—it's definitely a banger that makes me want to nod along to the rhythm." Self-produced out of Stuonenine Studios by Cliff Greenberg, Sean McMechen, and Eddie Gresely, Unfinished Business embodies ABRASHED’s signature tagline: “Where melody meets heaviness — Abrashed forges powerful, introspective metal that hits both heart and mind.” For interviews, review copies, and media inquiries regarding ABRASHED and their debut album Unfinished Business, contact: zach@metaldevastationradio.com Check out this video: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="C-krwl7ISVw"] Connect with the band: https://abrashed.com/https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577920151886https://www.instagram.com/abrashedmusic Contact: abrashedmusic@gmail.com Less
