FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cÿanide Ignites the Fuse with New Album 21 Gun Salute — A High-Voltage Blast of Hard Rock FuryRelease Date: October 17, 2025Label: Kivel Records • Eonian Records Streaming on everything: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cyanide9/21-gun-salute Cÿanide is back and kicking the doors off the hinges with 21 Gun Salute, a full-throttle hard rock assault built for anyone who still believes guitars should scream and choruses should hit like a brick through the windshield. With one full-length already out in the wild (Lethal Dose, available everywhere), the band doubles down here with an album that refuses to play nice. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Rob Hussey, Cÿanide channels that classic Sunset Strip danger while packing the muscle of the metal titans. Think the swagger of Mötley Crüe, the bombast of KISS, and the firepower of Metallica — all sharpened with a modern edge and the kind of punch that proves hard rock never went anywhere. It just needed a band hungry enough to drag it back into the spotlight. Produced by Ty Sims, co-produced by Rob Hussey, and engineered by Jason Constantine, 21 Gun Salute hits with the kind of sonic weight that brings back memories of Bob Rock’s golden era. No fluff, no filler — just arena-ready riffs, gasoline-soaked attitude, and choruses big enough to rattle a stadium roof. And fans are already responding. 21 Gun Salute has rocketed past 200,000 Spotify streams, fueled by Cÿanide’s global fanbase and word-of-mouth grit. As the band puts it:“21 Gun Salute roars like a nitro-charged love letter to Sunset Strip metal — a fist-swinging barrage of anthems, towering guitars, and arena-sized hooks. Cÿanide captures the swagger of Crüe and the muscle of Metallica, then twists it into something unmistakably their own.” Band Lineup:Rob Hussey – VocalsLaHi Cassiano – GuitarGreg Montoya – BassPaul Courtois – DrumsIncoming member pending audition November 29:Greg Percuoco – Guitar Cÿanide’s blend of hooks, horsepower, and heavy metal pedigree puts them in prime territory for fans of Mötley Crüe, KISS, and Metallica. With momentum building and a no-nonsense work ethic steering the ship, 21 Gun Salute aims straight for the heart of anyone who still cranks their music loud enough to shake the walls.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ashes Awaken Announce Debut LP “Rise”A Spirit Fueled Metal Surge Arriving February 6, 2026 via MTS Records Pre-save: https://hypeddit.com/ashesawaken/riselp Christian metal newcomers Ashes Awaken are gearing up to drop their debut full length “Rise” on February 6, 2026, delivering a heavy hitting mix of melodic firepower, faith driven intensity, and the kind of emotional weight that sticks with you long after the final note fades. Rooted firmly in the worlds of Christian Metal and Melodic Metal, the band channels the towering vocals and inspirational grit of Stryper, the modern punch of Skillet, and the hard edged energy of Killswitch Engage, forging a sound that speaks to both seekers and metal lifers alike. Produced and recorded by bandleader Michael Stover under the banner of MTS Records and managed by MTS Management Group, “Rise” brings together heaping riffs, soaring melodies, and lyrics built around redemption, resilience, and the unshakable strength of faith. Ashes Awaken carry themselves like a band with something real to say, and they aren’t shy about saying it loud. “‘Rise’ is more than just a record, it’s a resurrection,” says Stover. “These songs were born out of struggle, doubt, and ultimately faith. Every riff, every lyric is about finding light in the wreckage and standing back up when the world tries to bury you. It’s our way of saying that no matter how dark it gets, Jesus still gives us the strength to rise.” Ashes Awaken have built their identity around a mission as fierce as their sound, uniting spiritual conviction with metal’s raw, cathartic power. Their music strikes that rare middle ground where heavy meets hopeful, proving that metal can crush the spirit’s enemies while lifting the listener up in the same breath. “Rise” drops February 6, 2026 on all major platforms. https://hypeddit.com/ashesawaken/riselp For interviews, promo materials, or more info, contact: zach@metaldevastationradio.com  LabelMTS Records Produced ByMichael Stover ManagementMTS Management Group Connect with the band: https://www.facebook.com/ashesawaken777https://www.mtsmanagementgroup.com/ Contact: michael@mtsmanagementgroup.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Philippe Drouin Obvurt Unleashes New Single “Résilience” – A Monument of Precision, Power, and Perseverance Following the January 2025 release of his full-length album Le Chemin Du Gaucher, visionary guitarist Philippe Drouin Obvurt delivers a blistering new single and playthrough video, “Résilience”, now available on https://philippedrouinobvurt.bandcamp.com/track/r-silience and YouTube “Résilience” captures the heart of Philippe’s story—a jaw-dropping showcase of technical mastery forged from struggle and rebirth. After a devastating car accident left him unable to play right-handed, Drouin defied the odds, relearning his entire technique left-handed under the guidance of shred legend Michael Angelo Batio. The result is a guitarist reborn—unyielding, inventive, and utterly fearless. The track is a searing demonstration of double-guitar death metal, co-written and performed alongside John Longstreth (Origin, Hate Eternal) on drums. Together, they create a sonic landscape that’s as intricate as it is brutal—layered riffs, precision drumming, and the kind of raw emotion that can only come from surviving the impossible. Lifted from Le Chemin Du Gaucher, “Résilience” embodies the album’s concept: five essential aspects of learning an instrument, expressed through riffs and rhythm rather than words. Add to that a mind-blowing Gojira medley and a reimagined J.S. Bach cover, and you get an album that redefines what death metal musicianship can be. Released via Brutal Mind, Le Chemin Du Gaucher and its new single “Résilience” stand as testaments to perseverance and creative evolution in extreme music—where technical prowess meets human spirit head-on.

The heavy groove masters Patriarchs In Black are back with a brand-new digital single and lyric video, “I’m Coming Home,” available now on all streaming platforms. The track comes hot on the heels of the band finishing their fourth original album, “HOME,” for MetalVille Records. Guitarist Dan Lorenzo and drummer Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative, Danzig, Quiet Riot) originally submitted 17 tracks for the record — but this one didn’t make the final cut. “We had to cut a few songs, and since we already had a bluesy tune with Frankie Diaz on vocals, we decided to hold off on ‘I’m Coming Home,’” says Lorenzo. This newly released track features Frankie Diaz on vocals, Sal Iuvara (former Andrew Dice Clay bassist) holding down the low end, and Dave Seubert from Ten Ton Mojo bringing the soul with some killer harmonica. It’s a gritty, blues-drenched rock song that feels like a late-night jam in a smoky bar — heavy, heartfelt, and dripping with soul. Dan Lorenzo handles guitar duties, while Johnny Kelly delivers his signature thunder behind the kit. The chemistry between them continues to burn strong, mixing classic influences with a modern punch. And the band isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Lorenzo adds: “I’ve already written a few new tracks, and I’m stoked that I finally got in touch with Daniel Soren from Sixty Watt Shaman. He and I co-wrote a song for Patriarchs In Black that’ll drop February 5th.” Fans can also look forward to a Led Zeppelin cover featuring Mark Sunshine, set for release on January 9th, proving that Patriarchs In Black are keeping the riffs coming and the spirit of classic heavy rock alive and loud. 🎧 Stream “I’m Coming Home” now on all digital platforms and watch the official lyric video here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="4T_WZdhHO2g"] Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GRAVEWITCH Unleash Self-Titled Album OUT NOW! A Decade of Darkness Forged in the Fires of the Pacific Northwest Bend, Oregon – The blackened thrash storm known as Gravewitch has erupted once more. Their long-awaited self-titled 10-track album, Gravewitch, is out now via Rock Sun Records and Virgin Music Group—a savage declaration of pure extreme metal mastery from one of Oregon’s most uncompromising underground forces. Blending Thrash, Black, Death, and Melodic Metal, Gravewitch is a relentless strike forged in fury and precision. Fans of Kreator, Dark Funeral, and Uada will be consumed by its vicious energy, chilling atmosphere, and razor-edged songwriting. Recorded and mixed by Johnny Davis at 1988 Recording Studio in Bend and mastered by Jay Maas, this record is the pure embodiment of the band’s evolution—raw, melodic, and utterly destructive. Chris Fleming commands guitars, vocals, and bass, while Andrew Ingraham delivers the thunder behind the kit. Together, they forge a sound that’s equal parts chaos and control. A DECADE OF DARKNESS AND DEVOTION Born in 2013 in Bend, Oregon, Gravewitch began as a two-man assault driven by a shared love for old-school aggression and modern blackened atmosphere. Their early releases—Soul Reaper (2015) and The Summoning (2020)—cemented their name as one of the Pacific Northwest’s fiercest underground acts. Over the years, they’ve toured relentlessly and shared stages with metal heavyweights like Warbringer, Goatwhore, Crypta, Uada, Flotsam and Jetsam, Beyond Creation, Nervosa, and more. Whether tearing through small venues or commanding festival stages, Gravewitch delivers one thing every night—total obliteration. THE NEW ALBUM Gravewitch (2025) is their most ambitious release yet—ten tracks that fuse the brutality of death metal, the speed of thrash, and the darkness of black metal with haunting melodic layers. Each song is a weapon, each riff a battle cry. Lyrically, Fleming explores rebellion, war, and the unrelenting struggle between shadow and flame. The singles “Mistress of Hate” (directed by Ritual Video) and “Damnable Evil” (lyric video by Tsunami Films) bring the band’s vision to life visually—grim, powerful, and steeped in the occult aesthetic that defines their sound. UNCOMPROMISING. UNRELENTING. UNDEAD. Staying true to their DIY roots, Gravewitch remains fully independent—writing, recording, and creating on their own terms. Their bond with Andrea Toler-Wade of DNA Entertainment ensures the band’s touring machine keeps rolling, spreading their unholy gospel far and wide. This isn’t just another album drop—it’s a decade’s worth of fury, discipline, and passion unleashed in full force. Gravewitch proves once again that the underground is alive and burning hotter than ever. With Gravewitch, the infernal fire burns brighter than ever. The sound of rebellion, the voice of darkness, and the embodiment of Pacific Northwest metal fury—Gravewitch stands as proof that true metal never dies, it only evolves. The circle of power is complete. Enter at your own risk.
