FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MisophoniA Unleash Their Most Unhinged Work Yet with New Album ‘The Fall’ UK Blackened Melodeath Six Piece Seeking New Label Partnership for Their Next Chapter UK-based blackened melodeath six piece MisophoniA are preparing to unleash their darkest and most ambitious creation yet with their upcoming album, The Fall. Combining crushing aggression, haunting atmosphere, and emotionally charged songwriting, the band’s latest offering pushes their signature “Misophonic Metal” sound into devastating new territory. A record built around despair, collapse, and the fragility of the human mind, The Fall follows the journey of an unnamed protagonist spiraling toward complete mental oblivion, where every path leads to the inevitable conclusion: The Fall.

For fans of Paradise Lost, Dimmu Borgir, Borknagar, and Cradle of Filth, The Fall offers a powerful collision of black metal intensity, melodic death metal precision, and cinematic darkness. As MisophoniA prepare for the next stage of their evolution, the band is currently seeking a new record label partner ready to help bring The Fall to a wider global audience.

Scottish Blackened Speed Metal Maniacs To Lay Waste To North America From October 21 Through November 20, 2026 Scottish blackened speed metal force HELLRIPPER will return to North America this fall for an extensive U.S. tour in support of HAVOK. The "Goat Kvlt" will embark on the 22-date trek beginning October 21 at Metro Music Hall in Salt Lake City, Utah, and will tear across the country before bringing the run to a close November 20 at the Gothic Theatre in Denver, Colorado. The tour comes in support of HELLRIPPER's critically acclaimed latest album, Coronach, which was released worldwide on March 27, 2026, through Century Media Records. The album marks HELLRIPPER's debut release for the label. Known for its ferocious collision of black metal, speed metal, thrash and rock 'n' roll, HELLRIPPER has built a reputation for delivering unrelenting old-school metal with a distinctly modern bite. Coronach continues that tradition while expanding the project's sonic and atmospheric palette. The critical response has been equally savage. No Clean Singing praised HELLRIPPER's distinctive blend of black metal, speed, thrash, punk and rock 'n' roll, while Angry Metal Guy described Coronach as an album that builds upon the project's earlier work while injecting it with "a lethal dose of vitality." Heavy Metal Philosophy noted that the record manages to remain true to the spirit of heavy metal while still sounding "fresh and hungry," while KNAC highlighted the album's atmospheric and thematic elements as giving it an identity beyond simply being another high-speed metal record. Other outlets have also delivered high marks, with Kerrang! awarding Coronach a 4/5 rating and calling it "45 minutes of scything magnificence both ancient and timeless." Distorted Sound went even further with a 10/10 review, while Metal Hammer gave the album an 8/10 and proclaimed HELLRIPPER "the new Celtic king of thrash." The upcoming U.S. run will give American metalheads their chance to experience the chaos of Coronach in the live setting, with HELLRIPPER joining HAVOK for what promises to be a particularly violent stretch of the autumn touring calendar.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OLA ENGLUND Lands on the Cover of Sweden Rock Magazine Alongside Rock and Metal Legends Acclaimed guitarist, songwriter, and Solar Guitars founder Ola Englund has reached another major milestone in his career, appearing on the cover of Sweden Rock Magazine alongside legendary musicians from Accept, Europe, The Haunted, and Opeth. The special feature appears as Accept celebrates 50 years, bringing together four accomplished guitarists from some of the most influential names in European hard rock and metal: Wolf Hoffmann of Accept, John Norum of Europe, Fredrik “Kulle” Åkesson of Opeth, and Ola Englund of The Haunted. The result is a special gathering of guitar players from different generations and musical backgrounds, discussing their instruments, influences, gear, playing styles, creativity, and the continuing evolution of heavy music. For Englund, the feature represents another significant achievement in a career that has seen him establish himself as one of modern metal's most recognizable guitarists through his work with The Haunted and Feared, his solo music, and the worldwide success of Solar Guitars. Within the Sweden Rock Magazine feature, Englund discusses his approach to guitar, tone, creativity, and the challenges of developing a distinctive voice as a modern guitarist. He also talks about his love of Flying V guitars and the importance of keeping guitar playing musical and expressive rather than focusing solely on technical ability. The feature also captures the special atmosphere surrounding Accept's 50th anniversary celebration at Cirkus in Stockholm, where these guitarists came together to celebrate one of metal's foundational bands. Grab a copy of the issue here: https://swedenrockmagazine.com/ Check out this video of Ola Englund with Accept: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="aTAlV7H622s"] While appearing alongside one of metal's most influential bands is certainly a milestone worth celebrating, Englund is far from looking backward. He is currently building toward the release of his highly anticipated new solo album, The Neverending Story, arriving October 14, 2026. The album campaign has already delivered multiple singles, including “The Ember Saga,” “The Guillotine,” and the recently released “Dogma Progma,” with the latter showcasing Englund's continued focus on crushing riffs, soaring melodies, cinematic atmosphere, and his unmistakable guitar voice. The official music video for “Dogma Progma” is available now: WATCH “DOGMA PROGMA”:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="_KWZcx_--2w"] STREAM / PRE-ORDER THE NEVERENDING STORY:https://olaenglundshop.com/pages/the-neverending-story Featuring ten original tracks, The Neverending Story represents what Englund describes as some of his most ambitious solo work to date, blending technical precision, memorable hooks, heavy riffs, and cinematic storytelling into an instrumental metal journey.

From The Haunted and Feared to Solar Guitars, his massively successful YouTube channel, and now his increasingly ambitious solo work, Englund has built a career centered around one thing: the guitar.

NECROCENE Unleash Crushing Title Track “Scumocracy” Ahead of Debut Album Italian death metal outfit Necrocene have unleashed the title track from their highly anticipated debut album, Scumocracy, premiering the song exclusively through NoCleanSinging.com. The album is set for international release on September 18, 2026, via Personal Records. “Scumocracy” is the second track to emerge from the album, following the previously released “Ordinary Enemy,” and serves as a fitting introduction to Necrocene's bleak, uncompromising vision of death metal. There is a crushing weight bearing down on the world, an unrestrained cycle of destruction that increasingly breeds indifference. Necrocene take that bleak reality and transform it into something brutally physical. Their very name and the concept behind Scumocracy twist geological terminology into a grim political statement about the unstoppable, death-driven momentum of modern capitalism. Musically, that philosophy translates into death metal stripped of unnecessary ornamentation. Necrocene reject the polished, hyper-technical approach that has become common within modern extreme metal, instead embracing a deliberately primitive, abrasive sound firmly rooted in the genre's foundational years. Following their well-received 2024 Detrimental Paratomy EP, Scumocracy digs deep into the late-'80s and early-'90s Florida death metal tradition, evoking the raw atmosphere and crushing character associated with the legendary Morrisound Studios era. Sharp, vicious riffs collide with uncalculated drumming and harsh, primitive vocals, creating a sound that recalls the early work of Obituary, Death, and Cancer without simply attempting to recreate the past. The members of Necrocene bring years of experience from Italy's underground punk and metal scenes, and those counter-cultural roots are all over the album. Rather than chasing trends, the band focuses on heaviness, atmosphere, and attitude. Scumocracy moves between sudden tempo changes and agonizingly heavy, cadenced downtempo passages, giving the album a sense of constant forward momentum while maintaining its deliberately filthy old-school character. Its lyrical and conceptual themes explore social decay, technological obsolescence, and a civilization seemingly racing toward its own self-inflicted end. In other words, this is death metal with something rotten at its core, and Necrocene aren't interested in putting a fresh coat of paint over it. Listen to “Scumocracy” The brand-new title track “Scumocracy” is streaming exclusively through NoCleanSinging.com, while the previously revealed “Ordinary Enemy” is available through Personal Records' Bandcamp. Scumocracy arrives internationally on September 18, 2026, via Personal Records.

METAL DEVASTATION PR CLIENTS TAKE OVER METALIZED MAGAZINE’S LEX LEGION ISSUE THY SANATORIUM, FALSE MESSIAH, FIRST WORLD APPETITE, DAY40 AND BRIAN MOODY FEATURED IN DENMARK’S LONGEST-RUNNING METAL MAGAZINE Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that multiple MDPR clients have been featured in the latest Lex Legion issue of Metalized Magazine, Denmark’s longest-running and biggest metal magazine, which has been covering the world of heavy music since 1987. The issue delivers a strong showing for the Metal Devastation PR roster, with Thy Sanatorium, False Messiah, First World Appetite, Day40 and Brian Moody all receiving coverage, while Machine Cult Ritual was also showcased through a dedicated advertisement. From crushing extreme metal and melodic death metal to industrial, groove, thrash and atmospheric sounds, the issue demonstrates the international reach and diversity of the artists working with Metal Devastation PR. THY SANATORIUM – THY SANATORIUM 9/10 Thy Sanatorium receives one of the highest scores in the feature lineup, earning an impressive 9/10 for their self-released debut album. Reviewer Mike Gehrcke praises the band's ability to balance heaviness with atmosphere, highlighting the album's dark yet inviting character, dynamic song structures, melodic passages, tempo changes and strong sense of identity. Gehrcke describes Thy Sanatorium as a debut that demonstrates enormous potential and an album that rewards repeated listening. “All in all, Thy Sanatorium is a debut that impresses and shows enormous potential.” FALSE MESSIAH – SEVEN 8/10 | Cemetery Records False Messiah earns an 8/10 for Seven, with reviewer Kim Vestergaard Nielsen praising the album's aggressive riffs, powerful production and dark atmosphere. The review highlights the band's combination of melodic black metal and brutal death metal, resulting in a dynamic and captivating record that showcases the musicians' technical abilities while maintaining plenty of aggression. FIRST WORLD APPETITE – ANGEL SHADES DEMISE 8/10 | Self-released First World Appetite also receives an 8/10, with reviewer Stephen Rocky highlighting the project's dark and atmospheric approach. The review describes Angel Shades Demise as a deeply personal debut built around frustration and inner turmoil, combining heavy riffs with electronic elements to create a dystopian, cinematic atmosphere. The record's ability to move between harshness and beauty is singled out as one of its strengths, resulting in a debut that leaves a lasting impression. DAY40 – PHENOMENON 8/10 | Self-released British-based, Bulgarian-founded melodic death metal outfit Day40 earns an 8/10 for Phenomenon. Reviewer Nolder highlights guitarist Nikolay Atanasov's technical precision and the band's combination of melodic death metal with modern and atmospheric elements. The album also features guest appearances from Andy LaRocque, guitarist for King Diamond, and Dencho Dimitor of Eufobia. The review praises the album's energetic mix of fast riffs, melodic passages and variety, calling Phenomenon a well-produced and ambitious release worthy of attention from melodic death metal fans. BRIAN MOODY – BRIAN'S BRAIN 8/10 | Metal Devastation Brian Moody earns an 8/10 for the reissue of his debut album Brian's Brain, with reviewer Christoffer Kofoed examining both the music and Moody's distinctive one-man approach. The reissue features real drums rather than drum sampling, along with mixing and mastering by Theodor Borovski, while retaining the character of the original recording. Kofoed points to the album's strong '90s thrash influence, metallic one-man-band approach, grunge references, double-kick drumming and harmonized guitar work. While noting that the record can sometimes feel overwhelming because of the sheer number of ideas packed into it, the review recognizes the strongest tracks and Moody's intense combination of heavy riffs and depressive vocals. The final verdict: 8/10, with Kofoed describing the release as tight and solid. FROM BASEMENT TO INTERNATIONAL PR CAMPAIGN In addition to the album review, Brian Moody receives an in-depth feature from Christoffer Kofoed titled From Basement to International PR Campaign. The article explores Moody's evolution from a completely independent one-man musician handling recording, production and promotion himself into an artist actively pursuing an international audience. The feature examines the story behind the re-release of Brian's Brain, including the new mix and master by Theodor Borovski, Moody's creative process, his musical influences and the themes of chaos, personal struggle and emotional intensity that run through his work. The article also looks at Moody's growing understanding of the business side of being an independent artist, including branding, networking and the role of professional promotion in helping his music reach listeners outside his home territory. At its core, the feature presents Brian's Brain as more than simply a reissue. It represents another step in Moody's development as an artist and his efforts to build an international career without losing the independent spirit that shaped the project from the beginning. Moody's philosophy is summed up by his desire to create an emotional reaction in the listener, with the ultimate goal being to make people feel something when they hear his music. CHAOS, RIFFS, AND LOSS OF CONTROL First World Appetite also receives an extensive feature from Kasper Kudsk, titled Chaos, Riffs, and Loss of Control. The article dives into the project's industrial and groove metal foundations and the creative vision of Dutch musician Ronald de Groot. De Groot discusses the project's origins, including his inspiration from guitarist Tim Skold, as well as the evolution of his songwriting and production approach. The feature explores the contrast between chaos and control within the recording process, along with the expanded use of acoustic passages, melody and atmosphere. Kudsk also examines the themes behind First World Appetite, including human greed, destruction, overconsumption and the consequences of humanity's desire for more. Influences including Fear Factory, Nine Inch Nails, Black Sabbath and Tom Waits are discussed, giving readers additional insight into the musical landscape surrounding the project. The article ultimately presents Angel Shades Demise as both a deeply personal musical statement and the closing of an important chapter for de Groot, while exploring the darker themes that inspired the project in the first place. MACHINE CULT RITUAL FEATURED IN METALIZED Adding even more Metal Devastation PR representation to the issue, Machine Cult Ritual was showcased through a dedicated advertisement. The inclusion gives another MDPR artist visibility within the pages of one of Europe's longest-running metal publications, putting the project directly in front of Metalized's established readership. ANOTHER BIG INTERNATIONAL WIN FOR METAL DEVASTATION PR ARTISTS With five MDPR clients receiving editorial coverage, multiple strong review scores, two in-depth features and an additional advertising showcase, the Lex Legion issue of Metalized Magazine represents another significant piece of international exposure for the Metal Devastation PR roster. Coverage like this is exactly why getting independent metal artists in front of legitimate music media still matters. Social media comes and goes, algorithms change, and everybody's fighting for attention in the same damn feed. A respected metal publication with decades of history gives artists something different: editorial credibility, lasting coverage and another piece of press that can be used to build their international story. Congratulations to Thy Sanatorium, False Messiah, First World Appetite, Day40, Brian Moody and Machine Cult Ritual on being featured in the latest Lex Legion issue of Metalized Magazine. Metal Devastation PR continues to put independent and underground metal directly in front of media, journalists and fans around the world. Grab a copy here: https://www.metalized.dk/ Less

W.A.S.P. Announces '1984 To Headless' 2026 North American Tour With KK's Priest W.A.S.P. will celebrate the early years of its legendary career this fall with the "1984 To Headless" 2026 North American tour, featuring KK's Priest as special guests. The trek will kick off September 10 at The Magnolia in El Cajon, California, and will make more than 40 stops across the U.S. and Canada before wrapping up October 31 at The Grove in Anaheim, California. As the tour's title suggests, W.A.S.P.'s set will focus heavily on material from the band's first four studio albums: 1984's self-titled debut, 1985's The Last Command, 1986's Inside The Electric Circus and 1989's landmark The Headless Children. According to W.A.S.P. mastermind Blackie Lawless, the tour will be more than a standard greatest-hits run. "Playing those songs from those first four albums in a combined package like this is something we've never attempted before," Lawless says. "In addition to the songs, the entire stage show will look like the album covers from those records will come alive right before your eyes!" Lawless continued: "Complete with all the history and bombastic live presentations that's made this band one of the great live bands in the theatrical rock world. When elements of those album covers start to come alive, right on the stage before the people, it's gonna be something they'll not soon forget!" The W.A.S.P. frontman also expressed his enthusiasm about sharing the stage with KK's Priest. "I'm also equally thrilled to bring K.K.'s Priest and those iconic hits onboard for all the fall 2026 U.S. shows. Both bands... together... on the same stage... on the same night... where do I get my ticket? It's gonna make the '1984 To Headless' tour one for the rock ages!" For metal fans, the pairing is a pretty damn formidable one. KK's Priest features legendary guitarist K.K. Downing, a founding member of Judas Priest who spent four decades helping define the sound of traditional heavy metal. Downing formed KK's Priest after leaving Judas Priest and has continued his musical legacy with a band built around the classic metal sound that helped make him a household name among guitar fans. Downing says: "KK'S PRIEST is going to be returning to the U.S. and Canada this September and October! We will be teaming up together with metal legends W.A.S.P. and with over 40 shows, this is going to be an epic metal and steel tour featuring lots of Priest classics! We look forward to seeing you all again very soon so please get on board early, we do not want you to miss this one." W.A.S.P.'s First Four Albums Take Center Stage W.A.S.P. exploded out of Los Angeles in the early 1980s and quickly established itself as one of the most controversial, theatrical and visually outrageous bands in heavy metal. Fronted by Lawless, the band became synonymous with elaborate stage shows, provocative imagery and a brand of hard rock and heavy metal that deliberately pushed boundaries. The band's first four records chart the development of W.A.S.P. from its raw, sleaze-infused beginnings into a more ambitious and musically expansive heavy metal act. The self-titled W.A.S.P. arrived in 1984, followed by The Last Command in 1985. Inside The Electric Circus landed in 1986, while The Headless Children arrived in 1989 and is widely regarded as one of the band's most ambitious and musically accomplished albums. For the "1984 To Headless" tour, W.A.S.P. intends to revisit that entire era in a live production built around the imagery and atmosphere of those classic records. And this isn't simply nostalgia for nostalgia's sake. Those albums helped establish W.A.S.P.'s identity and cemented the band's place in heavy metal history. W.A.S.P. VIP Experience W.A.S.P. will once again offer VIP packages that include a meet-and-greet with Blackie Lawless, a personal photo with the singer, autographs, access to the band's traveling W.A.S.P. museum and a personal Q&A with Lawless.

AEGROR Release Atmospheric Cover of Ozzy Osbourne’s “Road to Nowhere” on All Major Streaming Platforms German extreme metal band AEGROR have unveiled their haunting interpretation of Ozzy Osbourne’s classic track “Road to Nowhere,” with the new version now available worldwide across all major digital streaming platforms. Originally recorded exclusively for ANTICHRIST Magazine’s international compilation A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, AEGROR’s rendition first surfaced on Bandcamp and YouTube alongside contributions from artists around the world paying tribute to one of heavy metal’s most influential and enduring figures. Following the track’s initial release, the band have now made their interpretation available as a standalone digital single. Rather than attempting a note-for-note recreation, AEGROR have approached “Road to Nowhere” through the dark and atmospheric lens of their own musical identity. Crushing riffs, shadowy textures, and an intense emotional weight reshape the familiar composition while preserving the heart of the original. The result is a version that clearly honors Ozzy’s legacy while sounding unmistakably like AEGROR. Adding further weight to the production, the single was mastered by Nikita Kamprad of Der Weg Einer Freiheit, whose work brings additional depth, clarity, and power to the finished track. Speaking about the release, AEGROR explain: “Ozzy Osbourne has inspired generations of musicians, ourselves included. Being invited to contribute to this tribute was both an honour and a responsibility. We wanted to preserve the emotional core of ‘Road to Nowhere’ while translating it into our own musical language. This release is our way of expressing gratitude to one of metal’s most influential voices.” The release arrives following AEGROR’s worldwide signing with EMG, marking another significant step in the band’s continuing evolution. While “Road to Nowhere” is first and foremost a tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, AEGROR have also incorporated the song into the mythology surrounding their own Plaguebreeder Universe. In the band’s hands, the familiar story becomes another dark fragment within that expanding world, a recognizable shadow recast through AEGROR’s own narrative and musical vision. For fans of atmospheric and extreme metal, the new single offers a fresh way to experience a classic Ozzy composition while highlighting the increasingly distinctive identity AEGROR have built for themselves. “Road to Nowhere” by AEGROR is available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Deezer, Tidal, and all major digital streaming platforms.
