FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE INHERENTLY LOST STRIKES WITH “CORPSE LYING BESIDE YOU” — A SHOCKING VISUAL AND SONIC ASSAULT ON THE HUMAN CONDITION Streaming everywhere: https://inherentlylost.bandcamp.com/track/corpse-lying-beside-you New Single Out Now via Entwined Recordings — Full-Length Album Coming Fall 2026 Youngstown, OH, USA – Industrial-infused progressive black metal provocateurs Inherently Lost return with their latest single, “Corpse Lying Beside You,” released February 27, 2026, via Entwined Recordings. The track and its accompanying visuals plunge listeners into a chilling exploration of humanity’s darker impulses, cementing the band’s reputation as fearless sonic storytellers. Blending the mechanical pulse of industrial, the sprawling complexity of progressive metal, and the raw intensity of melodic black metal, “Corpse Lying Beside You” is a relentless, haunting journey. Frontman Mark Moats and Noreen “Ice Queen” Javersak deliver dual vocals that cut like a blade through the song’s crushing riffs and eerie synth textures, illustrating a world teetering on moral and emotional collapse. “We wanted to confront the darker corners of human nature head-on,” says Moats, who also recorded and produced the track under the Entwined Recordings banner. The accompanying video amplifies the track’s grim narrative, presenting a cinematic vision of decay and desperation. Fans of Lacuna Coil, Jinjer, and Moonspell will recognize the band’s signature blend of atmosphere, aggression, and theatrical storytelling. Since the release of their critically acclaimed debut EP Our Last Midnight in 2020, Inherently Lost has built a dedicated international following, earning coverage in Legacy Magazine (Germany), Metal Hammer Portugal, and Zero Tolerance (UK), along with radio support from Cleveland’s 100.7 WMMS The Buzzard. Previous singles like “Unraveling Sanity,” “Intoxication of Pain,” and their cover of Mötley Crüe’s “Red Hot” have further solidified the band’s presence in the underground metal scene. “Corpse Lying Beside You” offers a harrowing glimpse of what fans can expect from Inherently Lost’s forthcoming full-length album, slated for Fall 2026 — an immersive descent into the shadows of human existence.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Fell Harvest Unleashes “Way of the Scythe” EP – March 6, 2026 Cheyenne, WY – Melodic doom metal trio Fell Harvest returns with their latest release, Way of the Scythe, a five-track EP that melds blackened death metal ferocity with crushing doom atmospheres, arriving March 6, 2026 via DI Records. Blending the sorrowful melodies of My Dying Bride with the intensity of Dissection and Opeth, the EP features a mix of newly written material alongside compositions from earlier creative periods, now fully realized with the current lineup: Joseph Fell (bass/vocals), Liam Duncan (lead guitar), and Mike Smith (drums). Across the release, Fell Harvest examines personal transformation, mortality, and the cycles of destruction and rebirth. The title track, Way of the Scythe, delivers intricate guitar work and melodic intensity while exploring the sacrifices needed to evolve. Tracks like Until the Starlight Dies and We Who Walk on Shadowed Paths shift between somber doom passages and sharp melodic death metal elements, creating a dynamic and immersive experience. The EP closes with a haunting rendition of the Judas Priest classic A Touch of Evil, a longtime live-show finale, reimagined with melancholic textures and crushing riffs. Produced and engineered by Alex Carillo and mastered by Jason Livermore of The Blasting Room, Way of the Scythe captures Fell Harvest at their most atmospheric and aggressive, delivering a dark and cinematic journey through shadow and sound. The cover art features Thanatos II (1899) by Jacek Malczewski, with layout by Emylie Muth.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Hear an Unfinished New Song from Wayne Static as Director Matt Zane Launches Singer Search An unfinished, previously unheard track recorded by late STATIC-X frontman Wayne Static has surfaced as part of filmmaker Matt Zane’s ongoing unauthorized documentary project. According to Zane, the song was intended to appear in his forthcoming film about Wayne and his late wife Tera Wray. However, the estates of Wayne and Tera, along with Static-X, have declined to grant permission for the unreleased music to be used. “I want to make it clear, I’d love to finish and give Wayne’s fans his final recording but the families and Static-X aren’t allowing it,” said Zane. “I’d give 100% of the profits of the music to Wayne’s and Tera’s family as long as the recordings were kept in their original form. They were recorded as Wayne Static solo music, not Static-X.” The Backstory Zane says the material dates back to 2008 while he was directing Tera Wray in her music series Radium. At the time, Wayne offered music to support the project. “Warner Brothers stopped us but not before Wayne gave me a bunch of stuff,” Zane explained. “I cover the entire ordeal in the documentary. I have a video of Wayne publicly admitting he wrote music for the series.” Now, years later, Zane has chosen to move forward with completing select portions of the material for inclusion in the documentary and its potential soundtrack. “There are songs that I won’t touch that Wayne wrote 100% of,” Zane stated. “But all the misc. riffs and other ideas are what I’ll use. Wayne liked what I was doing with them so I figure I’m on the right track.” Singer Search Begins Due to legal restrictions preventing the use of Wayne Static’s original vocal tracks, Zane is now launching an open call for vocalists who believe they can step in and honor Wayne’s style and legacy. “It’s just like what Jonathan Davis did for the Queen of the Damned soundtrack,” Zane said. “He wasn’t allowed to sing on that soundtrack so he brought in other singers, including Wayne!” Fans and vocalists interested in participating are invited to submit a recording of themselves performing their favorite Wayne Static song to: TheSlackerJesus@gmail.com Zane has also made the unfinished Wayne Static track available for fans to hear as discussion continues surrounding its future.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Burnt Witch Featured In Weedian’s Best Releases of February With Crushing EP Dopelich West Tennessee – West Tennessee doom and sludge four-piece Burnt Witch continue to make waves in the underground heavy scene as their latest EP Dopelich has been featured in Weedian’s Best Releases of February list. Known throughout the doom and stoner metal community for spotlighting the heaviest releases from across the globe, Weedian highlighted Burnt Witch for their suffocating riffs, occult atmosphere, and unmistakable Southern grit. Released independently on February 13, 2026, Dopelich delivers a dense wall of fuzz-drenched bass, monolithic riffing, cavernous drums, and vocals that shift from blues-soaked melodies to feral screams. Rooted in the traditions of classic doom while soaked in the swampy spirit of West Tennessee, the EP channels the oppressive weight and hypnotic groove that fans of the genre crave. Drawing inspiration from bands like Electric Wizard, Crowbar, and Eyehategod, Burnt Witch create songs that feel summoned rather than written. The band blends bleak atmospheres, crushing sludge grooves, and ritualistic pacing into a sound that is immersive, heavy, and impossible to ignore. Early reactions to the EP have already been turning heads across the underground: “Move over Electric Wizard, here comes Burnt Witch!”– Reaper’s Underground, Black Flame Entertainment & Tracks of the Damned Podcast “Doom is not supposed to save the world. It is supposed to scorch it one riff at a time.”– Zach Moonshine, Metal Devastation Radio “Dopelich will take you on a ride that will leave you feeling like you are deep in Occult ritual, begging for more.”– Cody Gray, Defiler Magazine & Tracks of the Damned Podcast Burnt Witch have also appeared on The Zach Moonshine Show via Metal Devastation Radio and on Tracks of the Damned Podcast, further solidifying their presence in the global underground metal community. Fans of Electric Wizard, Weedeater, Crowbar, Eyehategod, Down, and Superjoint Ritual will find plenty of crushing riffs to sink into with Dopelich.

Metal Devastation Radio and PR Smash Through 24.1 Million Views With Another Google Search Trophy February came in like a wrecking ball, and Metal Devastation Radio and Metal Devastation PR didn’t just survive—it dominated. The underground never sleeps, and neither do we, as the numbers prove this machine is still accelerating at full throttle. Once again, Google served up another Search Trophy after clocking 373,000 impressions in February. No tricks, no pay-to-play fairy tales—just pure reach, powered by the global metal underground doing what it does best. Another Month, Another Wall Torn Down February’s stats hit harder than a blast-beat barrage: • 161,000 active users holding the underground strong• 161,000 new users discovering the noise and sticking around for the chaos• 623,000 total views ripping across the site• 1,600,000 tracked events—clicks, streams, submissions, and all the beautiful mayhem in between All-time total views now stand at a staggering 24,100,569. This isn’t luck. This is grind, consistency, and a scene that refuses to die. Straight From the Frontlines “It’s insane watching this thing grow month after month,” says Zach Moonshine.“Crossing 24.1 million views tells me one thing loud and clear: the underground is alive, it’s hungry, and it’s not going anywhere. Google trophies are cool, but the real proof is in the bands getting heard and the fans showing up. Algorithms don’t decide what matters—we do.” Fueled by the Underground This milestone is powered by the entire ecosystem: • Bands and labels bringing the heavy, the real, and the uncompromising• Zines and media documenting and amplifying the chaos• Fans worldwide streaming, clicking, and spreading the word like a viral contagion• DJs and staff keeping Metal Devastation Radio blasting 24/7• Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest turning online noise into real-world carnage Every click, stream, and submission pushes this movement further out of the shadows. What’s Next With 24.1 million views in the rearview and momentum climbing, the mission stays the same: champion real bands, cut through industry nonsense, and give the underground a megaphone that actually works. “If you’re heavy and real,” Moonshine adds,“Metal Devastation is built for you. Real listeners, global reach, and a scene that actually gives a damn. This isn’t just promo. It’s a movement.” Thank You This milestone belongs to everyone who streamed, clicked, submitted, shared, and supported the underground. This scene doesn’t fade—it adapts, it grows, and it gets louder every damn month.

Indiana’s death metal outfit PROTRUSION is ready to infect the underground with their debut full-length, The Last Suppuration. A sonic homage to the brutal, raw ethos of early ’90s death metal, the album is a relentless assault of guttural riffs, cavernous drums, and a murky atmosphere that drips with filth. The lead single and title track, “Boiled at Birth”, is streaming now at protrusion.bandcamp.com, giving fans a first taste of the band’s grotesque, archaic-inspired sound. The Last Suppuration will see multiple physical releases this spring: Cassette: March 13 via Unholy Domain (Europe) and Iron Fortress Records (North America) CD: Sevared Records Vinyl: Extremely Rotten Productions and Unholy Domain European fans can pre-order the cassette at unholydomainrecords.bandcamp.com, while North American fans can secure their copies at ironfortressrecords.com. CD pre-orders are available at store.sevared.com. The grotesque artwork, crafted by Jon Zig, mirrors the music’s putrid atmosphere and grim aesthetic. Formed in Lafayette, Indiana, PROTRUSION features veterans from underground acts such as Gorgasm, Sarcophagy, Human Filleted, and Found Hanging. The band channels the raw power of Morrisound-era death metal while adding their own modernized yet retro-tinged approach. After releasing a well-received self-titled demo in 2023, PROTRUSION carved their name into the live circuit, performing at events including the final Chicago Domination Fest (2023) and Slam Dakota Death Fest (2025). With The Last Suppuration, the band officially casts a shadow over the current death metal underground. The time of suppuration is upon us. Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE SARDONIC WITCHERY’S “UNDER THE SIGN OF THE TRIDENT” EARNS HIGH PRAISE IN LATEST REVIEW Texas black metal warlords SARDONIC WITCHERY continue their ritualistic conquest with their 2026 compilation album, Under The Sign Of The Trident, earning rave reviews for its raw, old school, occult-driven fury. The album, set for release in April via Vision of Death / Hispanic Satanic Productions, compiles re-recorded material from the band’s defining works over the past decade, including Kult Of The Underground Warrior, King Of The Midnight Legions, Moonlight Sacrifice Ritual, and Barbaric Evil Power, as well as the notorious “Black Fucking Metal” from their 2016 EP. According to OccultBlackMetal, the collection delivers “a very ritualistic sounding intro” before plunging listeners into “fast and raw” black metal steeped in tremolo picking, blast beats, and high-pitched, sinister vocals. The review highlights the album’s deft balance of slow, mid-paced, and furious passages, noting “all of the musical instruments…have a very powerful sound” and praising the guitar work for its “first wave influence” and old school extreme metal leads. SARDONIC WITCHERY updates their classic black metal sound for the modern era while maintaining aggressive intensity and uncompromising occult themes. Lyrics delve deep into Satanism, Luciferianism, witchcraft, occultism, and anti-Christian blasphemy, cementing the band’s standing as a true cult entity. Recommended tracks from the review include “Freezing Darkness,” “Die For Satan,” “Black Fucking Metal,” and “Merciless Warrior Of Steel.” OccultBlackMetal awarded the compilation an impressive 8/5 out of 10, signaling both critical acclaim and underground respect. King Demogorgon and G. Lucis Ruina, along with session members James Siegrist and Daniel Salamanca, will bring this ritualistic fury to stages across the United Kingdom, Mexico, and 12 U.S. states, including Maryland Deathfest, on the Under The Sign Of The Trident Tour 2026. Stream or purchase the compilation at sardonicwitchery.bandcamp.com and witness the rebirth of blackened fury. Hail to the devotees. Hail to the Master Satan.
