FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HUBRIS UNLEASH RELENTLESS BLACK METAL ONSLAUGHT “ACTS OF SEDITION” — OUT NOW Buffalo, NY — Black metal veterans Hubris have officially unleashed their long-awaited full-length assault, Acts of Sedition, available now for extreme music fans worldwide. https://truehubris.bandcamp.com/album/acts-of-sedition Since erupting from the Buffalo underground in 2008, Hubris—founded by brothers Hellskald and Lichfiend alongside Melkorpse, with Deragore joining on drums in 2010—have delivered a high-octane, uncompromising brand of black metal fused with death metal’s punishing intensity. From Shadow Woods Metal Fest IV to tours across the Eastern US with appearances at Hell Over Akron and Slutfest, the band has left audiences in smoldering ruins with their searing live performances. Fans of Gorgoroth, 1349, and Tsjuder will feel right at home in the band’s unrelenting sonic warpath. Acts of Sedition stands as Hubris’ definitive statement: nearly an hour of scalding black metal tracked across multiple states beginning in late 2022, with final mastering completed in 2025. Following the debut single “Lightless Lantern,” praised by No Clean Singing as “a destructive warzone of bloodthirsty delirium,” the full album delivers 54 minutes of relentless blast beats, razor-sharp riffs, and venomous vocals that cut straight to the core of humanity’s darkest instincts. The album’s cover art, created by Triple Seis Design (Santiago Jamarillo), depicts the ruin of a petty tyrant amid the infernal rise of a new dawn—perfectly capturing the atmosphere of Hubris’ sonic devastation. Now available on all major platforms, Acts of Sedition marks a new peak in the band’s evolution and a must-hear release for fans of uncompromising extreme metal.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PHENOMY EARN PERFECT 10/10 AS “PHANTASMAGORIA” DOMINATES WITH CINEMATIC METAL INTENSITY Beirut, Lebanon – Lebanese metal force Phenomy are making serious waves with the release of their latest full-length album Phantasmagoria, now available worldwide via Art Gates Records. Already turning heads across the global metal scene, the album has just secured a perfect 10/10 rating from Rock Queen Reviews, cementing its place as one of the year’s most powerful and immersive releases. Blending melodic thrash, groove metal, and atmospheric depth with subtle Middle Eastern influences, Phantasmagoria delivers exactly what its name promises, a dark, surreal, and emotionally charged journey through chaos, inner conflict, and psychological intensity. Rock Queen Reviews didn’t hold back, calling the album “a kaleidoscopic thrill ride of sound” and praising its balance of brutality and melody, stating: “Darkness and light enshroud it with a powerful cloak of atmosphere… intriguingly intricate and inventive.” From the haunting opening “Prologue” to the crushing closer “I, Witness,” the review highlights Phenomy’s ability to seamlessly fuse genres while maintaining a clear identity rooted in heavy, groove-driven aggression. Tracks like “Gambit” were singled out as “just superb,” while “Phantasmagoria” itself was described as a song you can “easily get lost in.” Formed in 2014, Phenomy have steadily built a reputation as one of the Middle East’s most formidable metal exports. After the success of their debut Once And For All, which helped land them a slot representing Lebanon at Wacken Open Air, the band has continued to rise through major festival appearances and international recognition. With Phantasmagoria, their fourth studio album, Phenomy push their sound further than ever before, darker, heavier, and more cinematic, without sacrificing the raw power that got them here in the first place. The album was produced, mixed, and mastered by Jaro Sound, with additional production by Loïc El Haddad, and recorded across Sound Pressure Studios, Ontune Studios, and Grotesque Productions. The striking artwork by Stefan Koidl perfectly captures the album’s eerie, theatrical atmosphere. For fans of Machine Head, Lamb of God, and Gojira, Phantasmagoria is a must-hear, delivering a massive, cinematic sound that hits hard and sticks with you.

Swedish melodic death metal legends At The Gates are back with a crushing new single, “The Dissonant Void,” offering fans a powerful second taste of their upcoming album The Ghost of a Future Dead, set for release April 24 via Century Media Records. Right out of the gate, this track hits like a freight train. Sharp, melodic, and stripped of excess, it’s everything longtime fans expect from At The Gates. The band even revealed that the song was originally considered as the album’s title track, which tells you just how central it is to the overall vision. A Visual and Sonic Experience The video for “The Dissonant Void,” once again crafted by visionary collaborator Costin Chioreanu, is more than just a music video. It’s the opening chapter in a much larger conceptual piece tied to the entire album. Chioreanu describes the project as a massive undertaking, building a dark and immersive visual universe that mirrors the emotional weight and lyrical depth of the record. This isn’t just promo content. It’s a full-on artistic extension of the album itself, with more to be revealed as the complete visual project rolls out. [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="rJeYYC1l638"] A Legacy Etched in Darkness The Ghost of a Future Dead carries a weight that goes far beyond music. It stands as the final work of frontman Tomas Lindberg, who passed away in September 2025 following complications from cancer treatment. According to the band, Lindberg was deeply involved in every aspect of the album before his passing. From the title and artwork to the track order and sonic direction, this record reflects his vision down to the finest detail. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just legacy. “This album is Tomas’ legacy,” the band stated. And from everything we’ve heard so far, they mean it. Built With Precision and Power The album was recorded and mixed by renowned producer Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden, ensuring a polished yet ferocious sound. Visually, it’s backed by artwork from Robert Samsonowitz, further reinforcing the album’s dark and immersive aesthetic. Clocking in at just over 42 minutes, the album delivers a tight, focused assault across 12 tracks, including: The Fever MaskThe Dissonant VoidA Ritual of WasteTomb of HeavenBlack Hole Emission …and more. A Worthy Follow-Up This release follows 2021’s The Nightmare of Being, an album that showed At The Gates pushing their boundaries. This time around, they’ve sharpened the blade. The result feels more direct, more emotional, and arguably more intense. Formats for the Diehards Collectors, you’re in luck. The Ghost of a Future Dead will be available in multiple formats, including limited-edition vinyl variants, CD editions, and digital releases. Some exclusive pressings have already sold out, so if you’re planning to grab one, don’t sit on it. Final Thoughts “The Dissonant Void” proves that even in the face of loss, At The Gates remain a dominant force. This isn’t just another album cycle. It’s a farewell carved in stone, a tribute to a legend, and a reminder of why this band helped shape an entire genre. If this track is any indication, April 24 isn’t just a release date. It’s going to be a moment. Stay tuned. This one’s going to hit hard. Pre-order the album now via: https://atthegates.lnk.to/TheGhostofaFutureDead Less
