FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DECIBEL MAGAZINE SPOTLIGHTS NEW DOCUMENTARY “DEATH REIGNS” AND THE CONTROVERSY SURROUNDING TENNESSEE’S METAL DEVASTATION MUSIC FEST Jackson, TN – Decibel Magazine has published a full-length feature review of Death Reigns, the new documentary by filmmaker Randall Holt Kendrick that chronicles the pushback, pearl-clutching, politics, and cultural friction surrounding the Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest. The film dives into the modern incarnation of America’s long-running “devil’s music” panic, rooted in blues history and resurfacing decades later in the Bible Belt with the arrival of an underground metal festival that refused to apologize for existing. Originally launched in 2022 by Raven Moonla and Zach Moonshine of Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR, the festival was immediately met with protests, online hysteria, and religious theatrics accusing the event of being demonic. Death Reigns documents the escalation, the public backlash, and the unexpected outcome: a successful festival that revitalized downtown commerce, sold 3,000 tickets, and demonstrated that heavy music builds community more than it breaks it. Decibel noted that the festival “exists as a microcosmic event of the macrocosmic ones those normally covered in Decibel,” highlighting the connective tissue between major global metal festivals and their scrappier, underground counterparts shaping their own scenes. The magazine also underscored the broader cultural takeaway, writing that the success of the fest was “a true case of money talking and bullshit walking,” crediting the event not only for running without incident, but for delivering a measurable financial bump for the city of Jackson and its local businesses. In addition to its socio-cultural commentary, Death Reigns earned praise for its production values and live footage from festival performers including Casket Robbery, Summoner’s Circle, Quiescent Mantis, and more. Interview segments and storytelling threads center on how metal communities form, how scenes sustain themselves, and how underground art creates belonging for people who often have nowhere else to go. At its core, the film argues against judging a book by its cover and makes the case that metal doesn’t destroy communities, it knits them together. As Decibel observed, festival footage of fans “from toddlers to the old and withered” sharing the stage speaks volumes to the intergenerational reach of heavy music and the ways scenes become surrogate families for those otherwise isolated or ostracized. Death Reigns continues to screen for film festivals and metal media outlets, and additional announcements will follow regarding public streaming and distribution.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE KÜNTSQUÄD Drop Sadistic New Video “Your Mum Sucks Crack In Hell”A Satirical Anti-Drug Sermon Through the Lens of The Exorcist Melbourne, Australia – Just when you thought KÜNTSQUÄD had blown their last gasket, the Australian crustmetal/deathpunk cult fires back with another unhinged visual onslaught. Today the band unveils their latest video “Your Mum Sucks Crack In Hell”, pulled from their blasphemous full-length Satan’s Cock, out now via Wormholedeath Records. Watch “Your Mum Sucks Crack In Hell” (Official Video):[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="xO3iGJPYuJM"] Released January 6, 2026, the track is a filthy slice of black humor and social critique wrapped in KÜNTSQUÄD’s trademark chainsaw aesthetic. Drawing from the band’s recurring cinematic nods, the title flips the iconic Exorcist line on its head and slams it into modern drug culture. It’s equal parts satire, bile, and bitter truth about a society burning out its last remaining pleasures one crack pipe at a time. Lyrically, the band digs into the hypocrisy around substance control and the shadowy institutions pulling the strings. The message isn’t coded. Crack is demonized as satanic while other addictions are winked through boardrooms and government chambers with a clean conscience. Unsurprisingly, politicians remain damned well uninterested in solving the bigger problem because that would threaten the real supply chain: power. Musically it hits the way all KÜNTSQUÄD tracks do. Rusted riffs, grind-slicked grooves, and Paula VC Damnzal’s deranged sermon of a vocal delivery. It’s short, bitter, and catchy enough to hum on the way to your next bad decision. The video follows the band’s visually aggressive style: cheap, raw, and unapologetically hostile. No gloss. No narrative padding. Just the right amount of sleaze and menace to make grandma clutch her pearls and reconsider family dinner. STREAM THE ALBUM — Satan’s Cock:https://orcd.co/scalbum Satan’s Cock has already been raising eyebrows and flipping stomachs across the underground. The album recently hit #1 on Sentinel Daily’s Top 30 Chart, hailed as “another half hour of sonic unpleasantness… even more extreme this time around.” READ THE REVIEW:https://sentineldaily.com.au/kuntsquad-satans-cock-wormholedeath/ ABOUT KÜNTSQUÄD KÜNTSQUÄD (pronounced Kountskard) are Melbourne’s crust-ridden degenerates merging guttural rage, down-tuned filth, and blackened satire into one deranged sonic force. Their debut sold out multiple pressings. Their follow-up tore the doors clean off. For fans of: Autopsy, Discharge, Nunslaughter, Sadistik Exekution, and pure underground chaos.

Epic riffs, soaring hooks, and that classic “head up, fist high” attitude define the track.

Built for mayhem. HELLRAZOR channels everything loud, heavy and unapologetic into a sound that hits with force. Thundering drums, razor-sharp guitars, and vocals that punch through the mix make “Sands Of Time” an anthem built for the stage, the road, and late-night bar jukeboxes that refuse to die. Frontman and songwriter Kasey Haze comments, “This band was built to create music that lasts. Songs that matter. Songs that kick the door in and take no prisoners. Sands Of Time is just the beginning of what’s coming.” The upcoming album “Wings Of Deliverance” remains unreleased for now, with the band fielding label interest as momentum continues to build. All songs and lyrics on the album were written by Haze, with recording taking place at Shasta McNasty Studios. Production was handled by Haze, with mixing by Bobby Huff. HELLRAZOR’s sound cuts through the noise with a lethal hybrid of classic metal power and modern rock theaters of grandeur. It’s real, it’s raw, and it doesn’t pretend.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DRAGSHOLM UNVEIL NEW SINGLE I AM THE IMPALER AND ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM FROM THE BLOODLINES OF BRAM Out March 20th 2026 via Faithless EntertainmentGenre: Blackened Death MetalFor Fans Of: Deicide, Immortal, Archgoat Dragsholm are dragging blackened death metal back into the crypt with the unveiling of their latest single I Am the Impaler, taken from the band’s forthcoming debut full length From The Bloodlines of Bram. The album arrives March 20th 2026 through Faithless Entertainment and is now available for preorder. Originally forged by Vlad Rituals in 2017 as a straight up black metal assault channeling the grim spirit of Mayhem, Gorgoroth and Dark Funeral, Dragsholm evolved into a full-blown war engine by 2022. With G.B. hammering out drums, Brendan Schleim Daly on guitar and the addition of Gravelord in 2025, the band steered into a barbaric black/death hybrid invoking Belphegor, Deicide and Marduk. Lyrically they feed on old horror cinema and gothic literature, embracing a cold and shadow-drenched atmosphere that most modern extreme metal lost somewhere along the way. From The Bloodlines of Bram stands as the band’s most refined statement yet. Razor sharp riffs, relentless blastbeats and ritualistic vocal attacks collide into a record that stands toe-to-toe with the genre’s heavy hitters. No gimmicks. No gloss. Just pitch black extremity rooted in tradition. The album was recorded at Backroom Studios and produced, mixed and mastered by Scot Moriarty, capturing the sonic ferocity Dragsholm deliver on stage. VINYL HEADS TAKE NOTE: Dragsholm’s earlier releases Sorrow Hexen, Vampirism in the Halls of Worship and Praise All Evil have all been issued on vinyl for the first time this week through Faithless Entertainment via elasticStage. If you’ve been waiting to file these on the shelf next to your Deicide and Immortal LPs, this is your moment. From The Bloodlines of Bram is now available for preorder exclusively at Bandcamp:https://dragsholm.bandcamp.com/album/from-the-bloodlines-of-bram Single: I Am the ImpalerAlbum: From The Bloodlines of BramRelease Date: March 20th 2026Label & Management: Faithless EntertainmentRecorded at: Backroom StudiosProduced, Mixed, Mastered by: Scot Moriarty Dragsholm aren’t here to reinvent the wheel.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SONS OF HADES SUMMON THE BEAST WITH NEW VIDEO THE OMEN Video Out NowAlbum Tombs of the Blind DeadRelease Date December 12, 2025Label Floga RecordsGenre Black Heavy Thrash Athens, Greece – Greek blackened heavy metal force Sons of Hades have unleashed their latest visual incantation The Omen. The track appears on the band’s debut album Tombs of the Blind Dead, out December 12 via Floga Records, and the video wastes no time dragging viewers into the band’s world of occult dread and old school metallic venom. Directed by Tony Thalassinos, the clip blends retro horror energy with a gritty metal underground edge. The cast features Marios Galatis as the possessed adult, Vasilis Necrodriver as the Catholic priest, and Nikos Chronis as the news anchor, with additional thanks owed to Dark Sun Rehearsal Studios for their support. It’s the kind of video that would have turned heads in the VHS era and still hits hard today. Musically, Sons of Hades carve out a lane that nods to the sinister roots of black and heavy metal. Think Mayhem and Emperor colliding head-on with Mercyful Fate’s dark theatrics and the raw fire of early Bathory and Venom. The band formed in 2023 when guitarist vocalist Apostolis K. assembled a veteran squad including guitarist Vasilis K., bassist Alex G., and drummer Vangelis F. Their debut full length balances speed, menace, and cold melody without slipping into modern overproduction or trend chasing. It feels underground because it is. Tombs of the Blind Dead was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Ignite Studios by Giorgos Christoforidis. The album’s cover art comes courtesy of underground icon Dimitar Nikolov and serves as a fitting gateway into the record’s grim soundscape. With The Omen out in the wild, Sons of Hades continue their march straight through the gates of the underground, proving that the old spirit of extreme metal is far from buried.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metal Devastation PR Clients Featured in Legendary German Metal Magazine Legacy January 2026 – Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce that three of its clients—Hexjakt, Doomherre, and Orbital Hotel—have been featured in the latest issue of Legacy Magazine, one of Europe’s most respected heavy music publications. This issue, featuring Megadeth on the cover, highlights the diversity and talent of the modern metal underground. DOOMHERRE – “Plaguelords”Stockholm-based Doom trio Doomherre are being celebrated for their uncompromising dedication to classic Doom Metal. Their latest release, Plaguelords, is hailed as “Classic Doom From The North!” by Legacy. The album sees guitarist and vocalist Victor Takala, bassist Max Collin, and drummer Daniel Strachal refining their sound into a modern homage to the pioneers of Doom, including Trouble, Candlemass, The Obsessed, and Sleep. Legacy praises Plaguelords for its “earthy, organic heavy sound that reveals soul and abyss alike,” noting that the band’s self-production approach allows complete creative freedom. The album’s high-contrast compositions combine mythical atmospheres with personal storytelling, delivering slow-building tension, hypnotic repetition, and powerful riffs that make every track a “fists-in-the-air moment.” Doomherre’s work stands as both a monument to the genre’s history and a bold step into its future. HEXJAKT – “Blessing Of The Damned”Sweden’s Hexjakt continues to push boundaries with their dark, atmospheric journey through Doom, Sludge, and Stoner Metal. Their full-length album Blessing Of The Damned is described by Legacy as a release that “demands attention, time, and patience—but those who engage will be rewarded with a deep, dark, and artistically mature experience.” The album balances hypnotic, bass-heavy openings with epic compositions, such as the more than eight-minute Void Throne, which alternates between oppressive heaviness and sudden thrashy outbursts. Hexjakt’s music is as ritualistic as it is emotionally charged, and the band’s dedication to the atmosphere of each song ensures a fully immersive listening experience. ORBITAL HOTEL – “Missing Link”Instrumental rock project Orbital Hotel delivers a cosmic, expansive soundscape with Missing Link. Spearheaded by José Luis Preza, the Austrian trio blends technical mastery, experimental psychedelica, and travel-inspired storytelling into a unique sonic universe. Legacy highlights the album’s “spacey grooves and instrumental virtuosity,” emphasizing the band’s ability to merge musical complexity with emotional depth. Preza’s compositional approach is inspired by life experiences, science, and cosmic exploration, resulting in music that is both intellectually engaging and sonically captivating. The album’s instrumental focus allows listeners to journey through soundscapes that range from intimate acoustic passages to sprawling, distorted electric guitar textures.
