FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE St. Unholyness Premiere Hybrid Music/Lyric Video for Dampflok des Todes — A Steamtrain of Death Through Life and Doom Video Premieres: November 25 | Album: Through High Holy Haze Pfarrkirchen, Germany — St. Unholyness are back to hit you where it counts. On November 25, the German stoner doom duo will premiere the second music video from their debut album Through High Holy Haze, a groundbreaking hybrid that fuses a traditional music video with lyric video elements into a single, immersive experience. The track, Dampflok des Todes (Steamtrain of Death), is a meditation on life itself — a journey through mortality, reflection, and the fires we face along the way. With crushing riffs, haunting melodies, and Christina Earlymorn’s soul-baring vocals, the song is both a sonic hammer and a poetic mirror. "This is a hybrid music video and lyric video," says Christina, guitarist and vocalist. "It’s about reflecting on life while letting the music hit you in the chest. Every frame, every note is part of the journey." About St. UnholynessSince forming in 2017, Christina Earlymorn and Mac Carrigan have crafted their own lane in the underground with what they call Chromed Stoner Doom with Groove & Style. Their debut album Through High Holy Haze fuses stoner doom, blues grit, and blackened intensity into eight tracks of raw, human, thunderous music. The album was written, produced, and mixed entirely by Christina, capturing a deeply personal vision of resilience and transformation, and it’s available now digitally and physically.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Metal Addicts Spotlights Filmmaker Matt Zane’s Upcoming Wayne Static Documentary via Metal Devastation PR Metal Devastation PR is proud to announce major coverage from Metal Addicts, who have featured filmmaker and longtime Static X collaborator Matt Zane and his upcoming unauthorized documentary exploring the life and legacy of Wayne Static and Tera Wray. Production is scheduled to begin January 2026, marking the long overdue revival of a project Zane feels personally responsible to finish. Zane’s history with the couple runs deep. He knew Tera before Wayne, spent roughly fourteen years working alongside Wayne, and directed multiple solo videos including “Assassins Of Youth,” “Pighammer Promo,” and “Noise Revolution” featuring DMC. Before Wayne’s passing in 2014, the trio had begun building a docuseries about their life together, but financial setbacks shut the project down before it could be completed. “I knew Wayne for about 14 years, and Tera even longer,” Zane said. “We were all close, and I worked on every project he did after leaving Static X. This was something they wanted done, and something they wanted me to do. I feel I owe them this.” The documentary will also incorporate unreleased music recorded by Zane and Wayne years ago. Several pieces were originally created for a film project of Tera’s. While a few ideas later made their way onto Pighammer, the rest has been locked away until now. Zane is diving back into the material and plans to complete select tracks with support from modern A.I. tools. Alongside the film’s production kickoff, Zane will launch a crowdfunding campaign in January. He’s also inviting anyone who was close to Wayne and Tera between 2008 and 2015 to share stories, memories, or insights. Those interested can reach him through EveryoneDiesTheMovie.com. As noted by Metal Addicts, the families of Wayne Static and Tera Wray, along with Static X’s original members, are not involved with or endorsing the project. Wayne Static passed on November 1, 2014, at age 48 from an accidental mixture of alcohol and prescription medication. Tera Wray died in January 2016. Metal Devastation PR thanks Metal Addicts for shining a spotlight on this powerful and emotional project.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cÿanide Ignites the Fuse with New Album 21 Gun Salute — A High-Voltage Blast of Hard Rock FuryRelease Date: October 17, 2025Label: Kivel Records • Eonian Records Streaming on everything: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/cyanide9/21-gun-salute Cÿanide is back and kicking the doors off the hinges with 21 Gun Salute, a full-throttle hard rock assault built for anyone who still believes guitars should scream and choruses should hit like a brick through the windshield. With one full-length already out in the wild (Lethal Dose, available everywhere), the band doubles down here with an album that refuses to play nice. Fronted by powerhouse vocalist Rob Hussey, Cÿanide channels that classic Sunset Strip danger while packing the muscle of the metal titans. Think the swagger of Mötley Crüe, the bombast of KISS, and the firepower of Metallica — all sharpened with a modern edge and the kind of punch that proves hard rock never went anywhere. It just needed a band hungry enough to drag it back into the spotlight. Produced by Ty Sims, co-produced by Rob Hussey, and engineered by Jason Constantine, 21 Gun Salute hits with the kind of sonic weight that brings back memories of Bob Rock’s golden era. No fluff, no filler — just arena-ready riffs, gasoline-soaked attitude, and choruses big enough to rattle a stadium roof. And fans are already responding. 21 Gun Salute has rocketed past 200,000 Spotify streams, fueled by Cÿanide’s global fanbase and word-of-mouth grit. As the band puts it:“21 Gun Salute roars like a nitro-charged love letter to Sunset Strip metal — a fist-swinging barrage of anthems, towering guitars, and arena-sized hooks. Cÿanide captures the swagger of Crüe and the muscle of Metallica, then twists it into something unmistakably their own.” Cÿanide’s blend of hooks, horsepower, and heavy metal pedigree puts them in prime territory for fans of Mötley Crüe, KISS, and Metallica. With momentum building and a no-nonsense work ethic steering the ship, 21 Gun Salute aims straight for the heart of anyone who still cranks their music loud enough to shake the walls.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Ashes Awaken Announce Debut LP “Rise”A Spirit Fueled Metal Surge Arriving February 6, 2026 via MTS Records Pre-save: https://hypeddit.com/ashesawaken/riselp Christian metal newcomers Ashes Awaken are gearing up to drop their debut full length “Rise” on February 6, 2026, delivering a heavy hitting mix of melodic firepower, faith driven intensity, and the kind of emotional weight that sticks with you long after the final note fades. Rooted firmly in the worlds of Christian Metal and Melodic Metal, the band channels the towering vocals and inspirational grit of Stryper, the modern punch of Skillet, and the hard edged energy of Killswitch Engage, forging a sound that speaks to both seekers and metal lifers alike. Produced and recorded by bandleader Michael Stover under the banner of MTS Records and managed by MTS Management Group, “Rise” brings together heaping riffs, soaring melodies, and lyrics built around redemption, resilience, and the unshakable strength of faith. Ashes Awaken carry themselves like a band with something real to say, and they aren’t shy about saying it loud. “‘Rise’ is more than just a record, it’s a resurrection,” says Stover. “These songs were born out of struggle, doubt, and ultimately faith. Every riff, every lyric is about finding light in the wreckage and standing back up when the world tries to bury you. It’s our way of saying that no matter how dark it gets, Jesus still gives us the strength to rise.” Ashes Awaken have built their identity around a mission as fierce as their sound, uniting spiritual conviction with metal’s raw, cathartic power. Their music strikes that rare middle ground where heavy meets hopeful, proving that metal can crush the spirit’s enemies while lifting the listener up in the same breath. “Rise” drops February 6, 2026 on all major platforms. https://hypeddit.com/ashesawaken/riselp For interviews, promo materials, or more info, contact: zach@metaldevastationradio.com  LabelMTS Records Produced ByMichael Stover ManagementMTS Management Group Connect with the band: https://www.facebook.com/ashesawaken777https://www.mtsmanagementgroup.com/ Contact: michael@mtsmanagementgroup.com Less
