FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ACERBIC Premieres New Video “#216” at New Noise Magazine – A Defining Statement of Death-Thrash Intent Olympia, WA — ACERBIC, the rising death-thrash force from Olympia, Washington, has just landed a major milestone with the exclusive premiere of their blistering new video for “#216” at New Noise Magazine. The track serves as a bold and uncompromising statement from their debut EP, Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind, out now. Far from just another extreme metal clip, “#216” arrives with purpose. As highlighted by New Noise Magazine, ACERBIC is pushing beyond the genre’s typical chaos, delivering what can only be described as “violence with purpose, brutality with memory.” The track clocks in at a relentless 216 BPM, making it the band’s fastest composition to date, while also tying directly into the conceptual narrative of the EP. “‘#216’ is the best representation of our sound,” says guitarist Chris Thompson. “It’s everything we do, pushed to the extreme.” Within the record’s storyline, the song marks a pivotal moment, following a central character reaching his 216th victim. Rather than leaning on shock value alone, ACERBIC channels something deeper—crafting a track that feels calculated, immersive, and disturbingly introspective. Formed originally in 2013 as a solo project by Thompson, ACERBIC has evolved into a fully realized unit featuring Gabriel Glandon on vocals, Xander Provencher on bass, Chris Hannan on drums, and Thompson on guitar. Together, they fuse old-school death metal grit with razor-sharp melodic precision, delivering a sound that hits just as hard as it sticks with you. That sense of intention carries through every aspect of their debut release. Recorded in August 2025 at Elektriccity Recording in Portland, Oregon, and mixed and mastered by Charlie Koryn, Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind captures the band firing on all cylinders. The record balances raw aggression with a surprising level of control and clarity—never losing its edge while refusing to blur into noise. “What I’m most proud of is how smooth the process felt,” Thompson explains. “Everybody was locked in, and Charlie didn’t just capture that energy—he cemented it.” Visually, the “#216” video and the EP’s artwork—hand-painted by Matt Stikker—pull from the scarred landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, mirroring the record’s themes of destruction and loss. It’s a fitting backdrop for a band that’s as much about atmosphere and meaning as it is about sheer sonic force. With the New Noise Magazine premiere shining a spotlight on their vision, ACERBIC isn’t just making noise—they’re making a mark. In a scene flooded with speed and aggression, this is a band focused on staying power. Abhorrent Atrocities Against All Humankind is available now in limited CD and cassette formats via the band’s Bandcamp page. https://acerbic.bandcamp.com/ For interviews, review copies, or press inquiries: zach@metaldevastationradio.com Check out the premiere here at this link: https://newnoisemagazine.com/premieres/interview-acerbic-discuss-video-premier-for-216/ Connect: https://www.facebook.com/AcerbicMetalhttps://www.instagram.com/acerbic.metal/https://www.youtube.com/@AcerbicMetalhttps://acerbic.bandcamp.com Contact: riffsandspliffs666@gmail.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE “CRASH: Reborn” Surpasses 1 Million YouTube Views as Wayne Static’s Legacy Returns to the Spotlight with Upcoming Documentary Los Angeles, CA — April 1, 2026 — Mephisto Odyssey’s “CRASH: Reborn” has officially surpassed 1 million organic views on YouTube, reigniting global attention on the life and legacy of Wayne Static. The milestone arrives as filmmaker Matt Zane prepares an upcoming documentary exploring Static’s life, influence, and enduring impact on industrial and heavy music. “CRASH: Reborn”, originally thought lost, resurrects a rare alternate version of the cult track “Crash”, featuring Wayne Static’s iconic vocals alongside reimagined production by Mephisto Odyssey founder Mikael Johnston. The track also features contributions from Static-X guitarist Koichi Fukuda and legendary guitarist Brad Gillis (Ozzy Osbourne), creating a bridge between generations of heavy music fans. The accompanying video—directed by Len Wiseman (Underworld) and William Instone (Butcher’s Bluff)—combines original 35mm footage with newly shot sequences, delivering a cinematic experience that has driven its viral success and sustained audience growth. “There’s a renewed conversation happening around Wayne right now, and it’s powerful to see,” says Mikael Johnston. “This track was something we believed in deeply, and to see it connecting with over a million viewers as his story continues to be told—it means everything.” Since its release, “CRASH: Reborn” has gained momentum organically, resonating with longtime Static-X fans while introducing a new generation to Wayne Static’s work. Originally created during the Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker era, the track’s themes of chaos, identity, and inner conflict remain strikingly relevant today, fueling its resurgence alongside growing interest in Static’s legacy. With Matt Zane’s documentary set to uncover previously untold aspects of Wayne Static’s life and career, “CRASH: Reborn” stands as both a rediscovered artifact and a living extension of his artistic vision—connecting past and present through sound and imagery.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RETURN TO DARKNESS IGNITES PRAISE WITH “ETERNAL” – ACCLAIMED BY METAL TEMPLE (8/10) Streaming everywhere: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/returntodarkness/eternalCD/Digital: https://tribunalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eternal The flames of thrash metal are roaring, and Return to Darkness is right in the middle of the inferno. Their full-length album “Eternal” is not just making noise, it’s earning serious respect across the underground, landing a crushing 8/10 review from Metal Temple and turning heads among diehard metal fans worldwide. From the moment opening track “Eternal Chain” hits, Metal Temple describes the experience as immediate and undeniable: “my ears are extra alert… my pleasure meter goes to maximum.” The review praises the band’s ability to craft riffs worthy of the genre’s greats, blending classic influences with a sharp, modern execution that feels both familiar and fresh. The momentum doesn’t let up. Tracks like “Pain” and “I Remember” showcase a band firing on all cylinders, delivering structured, well-thought-out thrash that balances aggression with melody and precision. Metal Temple highlights the band’s ability to channel the spirit of the classics without falling into imitation, calling the album “bloody good stuff” and emphasizing that Return to Darkness stands on its own identity. Hailing from Rockland County, New York, the band’s story is just as powerful as the music. Originally formed in 1990 as Out of Darkness, the members stepped away after years of frustration, only to return decades later with unfinished business. Re-emerging in 2022 as Return to Darkness, they brought with them experience, hunger, and a renewed sense of purpose that defines every second of “Eternal.” The album’s growing impact has not gone unnoticed. Following its independent release, Tribunal Records and Divebomb Records joined forces to bring “Eternal” to a global audience, ensuring this long-awaited thrash assault gets the attention it deserves. Produced and engineered by guitarist Jon “J Rod” Ciorciari and mastered by Jamie King, “Eternal” is a testament to perseverance, passion, and the timeless power of heavy music done right. If you’re a fan of razor-sharp riffs, commanding vocals, and thrash that actually means something, “Eternal” isn’t just worth your time, it’s required listening. Return to Darkness proves one thing loud and clear: real thrash doesn’t fade away… it comes back stronger.
