FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NICARUS UNLEASHES NEW SINGLE “DEGREE OF DONENESS” — A RAW, UNFILTERED SONIC EXPERIENCE FORGED IN REALITY Israel – Emerging from the underground with intensity, purpose, and zero compromise, one-woman force Nicarus returns with her latest single, “Degree Of Doneness,” out May 1, 2026 via GreenMuzic. Blending post-grunge grit, stoner rock weight, blackened atmosphere, and alternative edge, Nicarus continues to carve her own lane with a sound that feels as unpredictable as it is deeply personal. Fans of Neurosis, Deftones, and Foo Fighters will find familiar ground here, but make no mistake, this is something entirely her own. At its core, “Degree Of Doneness” is a reflection of pressure, survival, and transformation. It’s heavy, it’s honest, and it doesn’t hold your hand. This is music that hits you straight in the chest and lingers long after the final note fades. Nicarus isn’t just another studio project. She’s a fully independent artist who has been building her vision since 2017, handling every aspect of her work from writing and performing to producing and engineering. Her journey has taken her across the globe, including recording drums at Electrical Audio in Chicago with Sanford Parker and sessions at Urban Sound Studio in Norway, all while continuing to shape her sound in her own GreenLab studio in Israel. And here’s where it gets wild, she doesn’t just record everything herself, she performs it live too. Armed with full gear and amplifiers, Nicarus delivers a complete “one woman band” experience on stage, what she calls her “Re-Amping” live show. No backing band, no shortcuts, just pure, controlled chaos done the old-school way with real amps and real energy. This new release arrives as she works on her upcoming sixth project, an EP written in just three days during a time of war in her home country. That urgency bleeds into everything she creates. One track from the project even incorporates a Persian poem as a tribute to the Iranian people and culture, pushing back against division through art and expression. As one early statement puts it: “Nicarus creates music that doesn't just ask to be heard, it demands to be felt. Her voice carries stories of resilience, transformation, and the courage to stand fully in your truth. The music reflects a very immediate and personal response to reality, capturing vulnerability, urgency, and resilience in a way that feels explosive and refreshingly real.” With “Degree Of Doneness,” Nicarus proves she’s not here to follow trends or play it safe. She’s here to build something real, something loud, and something that matters. “Degree Of Doneness” drops May 1, 2026.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tommy Stewart’s Dyerwulf Unleashes New Single “My Politics Are My Own” Stream / Purchase: Bandcamp | Linktree Smyrna, GA – April 17, 2026 – Doom, psychedelia, and thrash collide in the latest single from Tommy Stewart’s Dyerwulf. “My Politics Are My Own” marks the band’s newest statement in heavy music, blending crushing riffs, hypnotic grooves, and unapologetic personal expression. Tommy Stewart’s Dyerwulf, the two-piece powerhouse featuring bassist/vocalist Tommy Stewart (Hallows Eve, Black Doomba Records) and drummer Joseph Dingle, has spent over a decade touring the United States alongside legends like Pentagram, The Obsessed, The Skull, and Year of the Cobra. Their live performances have left audiences reeling at major festivals including Maryland Doomfest, Snowblind Festival, Tennessee Metal Devastation Festival, and Tampa Doom and Gloom Fest. Produced at Black Doomba Studio in Smyrna, Georgia, and mastered at Sage Audio in Nashville, Tennessee, “My Politics Are My Own” also features guest lead bassist Kaleb Riser of Black Moon Cult, adding a new layer to the band’s signature heavy sound. On the track, Stewart reflects on personal boundaries in the age of public scrutiny:"I've never written about politics, but I decided to write this song to explain why. I'm private about my views. It's that simple. I don't feel I'm the only one, either. You have every right to holler about what you believe. I respect your right, go for it! But, alternately, I have a right to keep it to myself. This song is an anthem for those who choose to keep it to themselves." – Tommy Stewart Since forming in 2015, Tommy Stewart’s Dyerwulf has consistently delivered intense, riff-driven music across multiple albums and EPs. With “My Politics Are My Own,” the band signals the start of a new era of singles, videos, and a forthcoming third full-length album in 2026.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SIGNO ROJO UNLEASHES CRUSHING NEW SINGLE “GROWTH” OUT APRIL 17, 2026 VIA MAJESTIC MOUNTAIN RECORDS Karlshamn, Sweden’s underground heavyweights Signo Rojo return with a thunderous new statement in the form of their latest single, “Growth,” set for release on April 17, 2026 via Majestic Mountain Records. For over fifteen years, Signo Rojo have been grinding their way through the depths of the Swedish underground, forging a sound that refuses to sit still. Blending the oppressive weight of sludge and doom with the raw urgency of hardcore and punk, the band has built a reputation the old-fashioned way: DIY, no shortcuts, no compromises. Their output may come slow, but when it lands, it hits like a collapsing glacier. With “Growth,” Signo Rojo deliver exactly what you’d expect and then some. This is a mammoth, riff-driven assault packed with spine-rattling low end, towering melodies, and the kind of atmosphere that sticks to your ribs. Fans of Neurosis, Big Business, and Baroness will feel right at home, but make no mistake, Signo Rojo aren’t chasing anyone’s shadow. They’ve carved out their own lane and they’re driving straight through it. Lyrically, “Growth” takes a hard look at modern society’s obsession with self-improvement. Instead of buying into the glossy, instant-gratification version being sold everywhere, the band flips the script. The track digs into how personal development has been commodified, turned into something people think they can purchase, hack, or shortcut. The result? More often than not, people end up stuck, misled, or worse, exploited by systems that prey on vulnerability. In the band’s own words:“‘Growth’ is a mammoth-stomping slab of doom-infused sludge that delivers spine-shaking riffs and soaring choruses.” Behind the scenes, the band kept things tight and true to their roots. The single was produced by Signo Rojo themselves, with mixing and mastering handled by Elias Mellberg, giving the track a raw but massive sonic punch that feels both deliberate and unfiltered. This release marks the beginning of a heavy onslaught from the band in 2026, with more material locked, loaded, and ready to fire. If “Growth” is any indication, Signo Rojo aren’t easing into anything, they’re kicking the door clean off the hinges. Release Date: April 17, 2026Label: Majestic Mountain RecordsGenre: Sludge/Doom Metal, Hardcore Keep your ears open. This one doesn’t just hit hard, it lingers.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hopeless Nation Returns With “My Curse,” A Relentless Dive Into Addiction and Inner Struggle Montreal, QC – April 2026 – Quebec hardcore and metal veterans Hopeless Nation are back with their latest single, My Curse, dropping May 15, 2026. Following their 2025 comeback with Silverspoon and 2026’s cinematic Disaster, the track continues the band’s return from nearly a decade-long silence, confronting personal battles with addiction, self-destructive behaviors, and inner conflict. “My Curse is about the battles people fight in silence. Addiction in all its forms can take control and slowly erase who you are. This song is a confrontation but also a reminder that no one has to face it alone,” says vocalist Frederic Marchand. From Reunion to Relentless GrindHopeless Nation reunited in the summer of 2024 for a high-energy reunion show, revisiting unrecorded material from their 2014 era. That show marked the beginning of a new cycle: grinding back up from the roots while staying true to their hardcore and metal ethos. Scene Credibility You Can FeelThe band members are stalwarts of the Quebec metal and hardcore scene. Louis-Simon Bellerose fronts punk hardcore legends Genetic Error, while Steve DC and Guy Provencher represented Canada in Europe after winning the Wacken Battle of the Bands with Strigampire in 2024. With over 250 live shows to their name, Hopeless Nation proves their commitment to the scene isn’t just words—it’s blood, sweat, and amps. Live Performance RitualsKnown for sweat-soaked, no-backing-track performances, Hopeless Nation brings every show to life with intense crowd interaction, relentless headbanging, chair-throwing, and immersive visual projections. Each concert becomes a ritual, leaving audiences drained and exhilarated in equal measure. Legacy & HomageThe new material honors former members Jonathan Houle (bass & guitar, 2012–2014, 2024) and Maxime Dupont (rhythm guitar, 1998–2014). Their creative contributions shaped the band’s sound, and My Curse serves as both a tribute and continuation of that legacy. Musically, the track blends groove-driven modern metal with hardcore intensity. Dark, oppressive atmospheres are punctuated with heavy riffs, sharp rhythmic shifts, and sustained tension—sonic reflections of the battles fought within. The music video takes a stripped-down, practical approach, foregoing AI visuals for projection, minimalistic staging, and stroboscopic lighting. Repeating staircases, infinite loops, and disorienting projections mirror the trap of addiction and the struggle to regain control. Produced by Jonathan Houle, with mixing and mastering by Francis Perron at Studio RadicArt, My Curse is the next step toward a new EP, pushing deeper into real human conditions with uncompromising clarity and weight.

The track comes from the band’s 2026 compilation album, Under The Sign Of The Trident, which has already earned high praise from OccultBlackMetal for its “fast and raw” black metal, ritualistic intensity, and old school extreme metal influences.
