FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SIX STRING REVOLVER Unleashes Hard-Hitting New Single and Video “Sick Mind” Southern Utah Hard Rock Powerhouse Takes a Stand Against Internet Predators With an Unapologetic New Anthem HURRICANE, UT – August 25, 2026 – American hard rock powerhouse SIX STRING REVOLVER is turning up the volume and shining a light into some of the darkest corners of the internet with the release of their powerful new single and video, “Sick Mind,” available now via Ragebreed Records and Earache Digital Distribution. Released August 21, “Sick Mind” is more than another hard rock anthem. It is a direct confrontation of internet predators and sexual deviants who hide behind screens while exploiting vulnerable people. With its heavy riffs, thunderous groove, commanding vocals, and unapologetic message, SIX STRING REVOLVER delivers a song designed not only to make listeners move, but to make them pay attention. “Sick Mind” is a statement song confronting internet predators and sexual deviants who hide behind screens to exploit others. This song was written to expose the predators who perpetrate these heinous acts and to shine a light into some of the darkest corners of the internet. The band continues: “When we witness evil in this world, we believe we have a responsibility to speak up and expose it. Six String Revolver will never hesitate to stand against abuse, exploitation, or those who prey upon the innocent.” Musically, “Sick Mind” captures everything SIX STRING REVOLVER stands for: loud guitars, honest lyrics, massive grooves, and the kind of hard rock attitude that refuses to disappear. The band combines classic rock swagger with modern intensity, creating a sound that feels equally at home blasting from a stage or through a pair of headphones. The track was produced by Peggy Foster and Robert Cantu and mixed by Tom Chandler at Elite Studios in Hollywood, California. A HARD ROCK FORCE BUILT ON EXPERIENCE Based in Hurricane, Utah, SIX STRING REVOLVER has quickly established itself as a Southern Utah hard rock force built on grit, soul, musicianship, and an old-school commitment to putting on a killer rock show. At the front of the band is Raven Cain, whose life story and musical career have shaped him into the charismatic driving force behind SIX STRING REVOLVER. A vocalist, occasional guitarist, songwriter, and veteran touring musician, Cain has performed alongside major acts including Henry Rollins, L.A. Guns, Sevendust, Ratt, Saliva, Faster Pussycat, BulletBoys, and Hed PE. Cain's career has also included work with major labels including Universal Music Group, multiple #1 hits on the 365 Music Charts, and appearances as the subject of books, television programs, and educational films. His soulful delivery and introspective, hard-hitting songwriting provide the emotional core of SIX STRING REVOLVER. On lead guitar, Hawkeye Pearce brings years of experience, technical firepower, and arena-sized melodic instincts to the band. Pearce has opened for legendary artists including Alice Cooper, Sammy Hagar, Great White, Nazareth, and Rick Derringer, while also performing with a Las Vegas Best Entertainer-nominated act. Bill “Ash” Dent anchors the low end with a combination of precision, power, and decades of experience as a bassist, multi-instrumentalist, composer, session musician, and audio engineer. His massive grooves provide the foundation for the band's relentless sound. Behind the kit is Robert “Monster” Cantu, a high-octane drummer whose influences range from John Bonham, Buddy Rich, and Peter Criss to modern masters Mike Mangini and Matt Garstka. A veteran of venues including the Whisky a Go Go, The Troubadour, The Roxy, and Galaxy Theatre, Cantu has toured extensively and shared bills with King's X, Fates Warning, and George Lynch. Together, these four seasoned musicians have created a band that is less interested in following trends and more interested in keeping real rock music alive. SIX STRING REVOLVER doesn't follow trends. They load the chamber, pull the trigger, and let the music speak.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DEMON CHRIST UNLEASHES “CURSE YOU ALL” AHEAD OF SECOND ALBUM SINS BURN BLACK BLACKENED DEATHCORE ASSAULT ARRIVES HALLOWEEN 2026 VIA RAGEBREED RECORDS & EARACHE DIGITAL DISTRIBUTION Demon Christ isn't here to ask for permission. Following the well-received release of the self-titled Demon Christ debut album in 2025, founder and vocalist Dave the Demon Christ Incognito is taking things even further into the darker and more brutal realms of blackened deathcore, death metal, and black metal with the band's second full-length album, Sins Burn Black, arriving October 31, 2026 through Ragebreed Records with Earache Digital Distribution. The first taste of the new album has already arrived in the form of “Curse You All,” which was released on July 31, 2026. The single serves as the opening salvo for a record built around one simple philosophy: absolute sonic carnage with zero compromise. Stream it here: https://open.spotify.com/track/5Hfzuhxzjb9dmudenoVHcI Masterminded by Dave the Demon Christ Incognito, Demon Christ delivers a vicious collision of black metal darkness, death metal brutality, and deathcore punishment. With veteran musicians contributing to the attack, including Mike LePond of Symphony X on bass, along with live bassist [veteran loss of breath], keyboardist and backing vocalist Shannon Red, the new album expands the Demon Christ sound while pushing its extreme-metal foundation even harder. There is no polished-up, watered-down version of Demon Christ. No apologies. No concern for delicate sensibilities. This is music built for listeners who want their extreme metal loud, hostile, uncompromising, and unapologetically fucking heavy. “Curse You All” sets the tone immediately, unleashing the kind of crushing intensity that makes it clear Sins Burn Black isn't coming to play nice. The forthcoming album takes that attack even further, exploring the more brutal realms of blackened deathcore, death metal, and black metal while maintaining the relentless aggression that defines Demon Christ. After establishing the band's identity with the self-titled debut, Dave the Demon Christ Incognito returns with a second album that aims to go darker, heavier, and more extreme. Sins Burn Black isn't simply a continuation of the Demon Christ story. It's the next step in its evolution. And this time, the curse comes with a bigger hammer. Sins Burn Black arrives October 31, 2026, bringing the second chapter of Demon Christ to life through Ragebreed Records and Earache Digital Distribution. The curse has already begun.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BLIND ILLUSION Announces “STAGE FLIGHT: Live At The UC Theatre” Featuring Original Vocalist David White Progressive Thrash Metal Pioneers Capture Historic 2025 Performance for New Live Album Due October 16, 2026 BERKELEY, CA — Progressive thrash metal pioneers Blind Illusion are set to unleash their new live album, STAGE FLIGHT: Live At The UC Theatre, on October 16, 2026 through Hectic Records / Bleeding Priest Records. The release captures a historic 2025 performance featuring original Blind Illusion vocalist David White, recorded at the UC Theatre in Berkeley, California, during a special celebration of Exodus’ 40th anniversary of Bonded by Blood. For fans of Coroner, Watchtower, and Exodus, STAGE FLIGHT: Live At The UC Theatre showcases Blind Illusion at full power, bringing the band’s progressive approach to thrash metal to the stage in a performance that connects the group’s legendary past with its continuing evolution. Originally established in 1978, Blind Illusion has spent nearly five decades carving out its own distinctive place within the underground metal landscape. Led by mastermind Mark Biedermann on lead guitar and vocals, the band’s current lineup features Phil Cosentini on drums, Avery Thurman on bass, and Martin Lacour on lead guitar. The new live album also serves as another chapter in the remarkable history of Blind Illusion and its landmark debut, The Sane Asylum. Originally released in 1988, the album has gone on to become regarded as a classic of progressive thrash metal. The record featured Biedermann alongside guitarist Larry Lalonde, bassist Les Claypool, and drummer Mike Miner, delivering now-classic tracks including “Vengeance Is Mine,” “Death Noise,” “Kamikaze,” “Smash The Crystal,” and “Blood Shower.” Biedermann’s musical history extends well beyond Blind Illusion. In 1987, while working with legendary producer Sandy Pearlman, he contributed rhythm guitar and guitar leads to four songs for Blue Öyster Cult’s Imaginos, working alongside musicians including Joe Satriani and Robbie Krieger of The Doors. Blind Illusion continued to evolve throughout the following decades. The band returned in 2010 with Demon Master, shifting toward a more traditional heavy metal sound. In 2014, bassist Harald Oimoen of D.R.I. joined forces with Biedermann and helped inspire a return to the progressive thrash metal style that defined The Sane Asylum. Further lineup changes followed, including a 2017 incarnation featuring Doug Piercy of Heathen and Anvil Chorus on lead guitar. The band released the 2018 EP and toured Europe. In 2020, legendary Death Angel drummer Andy Galeon joined Blind Illusion, contributing to the band's Wrath of the Gods album, released in 2022, followed by additional European touring and festival appearances. In 2024, Blind Illusion introduced its current lineup and returned to the live stage. Then, in 2025, the band reunited with original vocalist David White, performing alongside Exodus, Death Angel, and Nukem at the UC Theatre in Berkeley on Paul Baloff’s birthday as part of the celebration surrounding Exodus’ 40th anniversary of Bonded by Blood. That performance became the foundation for STAGE FLIGHT: Live At The UC Theatre. The story didn't stop there. Blind Illusion later appeared at the Frost and Fire V Festival in Ventura, California, where the band performed The Sane Asylum in its entirety for the first time in its history, giving longtime fans the opportunity to hear the influential album performed live as a complete work. With STAGE FLIGHT: Live At The UC Theatre, Blind Illusion once again proves that nearly five decades into its existence, the band remains a vital force in progressive thrash metal. The release captures a significant moment in the band's history while celebrating the music, musicians, and underground metal spirit that have kept Blind Illusion moving forward since 1978. STAGE FLIGHT: Live At The UC Theatre will be released October 16, 2026 as a 12-inch vinyl LP, pressed at 33 RPM, through Hectic Records / Bleeding Priest Records.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PLUSMINUSZERO RELEASES UPTEMPO NEW SINGLE “RUNNER’S HIGH” VIA DOWNFALL RECORDS Finnish Hard Rock / Metal Outfit Continues Its First Run of Releases Ahead of Upcoming Album HELSINKI, FINLAND | AUGUST 31, 2026 Finnish hard rock and metal band Plusminuszero have released their new single “Runner’s High,” available digitally now via Downfall Records. Released on August 28, 2026, the track is the third single from the band’s upcoming album, with further details surrounding the full-length still to be announced. “Runner’s High” delivers an uptempo, melodic blend of hard rock and metal, showcasing the band’s ability to combine driving energy with strong melodies and a classic heavy-rock foundation. The new single continues the momentum established by Plusminuszero’s first releases since the band formed in Helsinki in 2025. While the name Plusminuszero may be new, the musicians behind the band are far from strangers to one another or to the Finnish heavy music scene. The members have a history that stretches back to the early 2000s, when several of them released three full-length albums with a previous band and spent years touring across Finland. Their experience took them everywhere from small bars and clubs to some of the major festivals of the era, building the kind of road-tested chemistry that only comes from years of playing music together. Eventually, the desire to create and perform heavy music brought them back together. Plusminuszero began when guitarist Toni Sundström and bassist Ilkka Rasi started working on new material. Vocalist Petri Korhonen and drummer Janne Kaartinen later completed the lineup, bringing the project into full form. Since then, the band have taken an independent approach to their music, recording and mixing their material themselves while reconnecting with the hard rock and metal roots that originally shaped them. That combination of experience and renewed energy is at the heart of Plusminuszero. There is no need to pretend these musicians are discovering heavy music for the first time. They have already spent years writing songs, recording albums, touring, and standing on stages across Finland. Now they are bringing that experience into a new chapter. “Runner’s High” represents the latest step in that return. With three singles now released, anticipation continues to build for Plusminuszero’s upcoming album. More information about the album is expected to be revealed at a later date. “Runner’s High” is out now digitally via Downfall Records.
