FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TALIA HOIT Releases Powerful New Single & Official Music Video “All You Want” From Upcoming Album “When The Skies Fall” Symphonic metal artist unveils the first emotional chapter from her highly anticipated second full-length album, arriving August 28 via SAOL Symphonic metal artist Talia Hoit has officially released her emotionally charged new single “All You Want” along with the accompanying official music video, available now on all major streaming platforms. The track marks the first preview of her upcoming second full-length album, “When The Skies Fall,” arriving August 28 through SAOL, a division of CMM GmbH. Watch the official music video for “All You Want” now:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="tFoTETW1qhA"] Blending cinematic orchestration, powerful metal instrumentation, and deeply personal songwriting, “All You Want” captures the painful realization of trying to live up to someone else’s impossible expectations while losing yourself in the process. “This song is about the impossible situation of trying to make someone happy who will never be happy with who you really are, because what they loved was some imaginary ideal of who they wanted you to be, rather than who you really are,” says Talia Hoit. Known for weaving raw emotional honesty into sweeping symphonic metal soundscapes, Talia Hoit continues to push deeper into vulnerable and personal territory with “When The Skies Fall.” The upcoming album explores themes of existential crisis, identity, transformation, love, grief, and emotional survival through ten immersive tracks that balance haunting piano-driven intimacy with massive orchestral arrangements and crushing guitars. At the core of Talia’s songwriting remains the same foundation that shaped her artistic beginnings: piano and voice. What started as deeply personal reflections and emotional processing evolved into songs that now resonate through towering symphonic compositions. “Writing poems or songs was my way of processing life and my emotions and things,” Talia explains. “A lot of what I have written was not originally intended to be a commercial product, so I guess it really fits under the idea of a ‘piano confessional’.” After years of writing and developing her sound behind the scenes, Talia Hoit officially stepped into the symphonic metal world as a solo artist with the release of her debut full-length album, marking the true beginning of her artistic journey into the public eye. “When The Skies Fall” represents Talia Hoit’s most revealing and emotionally expansive work to date. The album invites listeners into a world where certainty crumbles, emotions collide, and beauty and pain exist side by side.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CARCERAL ANNOUNCES INSTRUMENTAL EXTREME METAL DEBUT ALBUM "DESCENDING REPRISAL" Brazilian Extreme Metal Outfit Delivers a Relentless Fusion of Death Metal, Thrash, and Grindcore Without Boundaries https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/carceral/descending-reprisal Album Release Date: July 15, 2026Exclusive Premiere: July 14, 2026 via Toilet Ov HellGenre: Instrumental Extreme MetalFor Fans Of: Death, Morbid Angel, Dark Angel, Voivod, Immolation Brazilian instrumental extreme metal band Carceral is set to unleash its debut full-length album, "Descending Reprisal," independently on July 15, 2026, following an exclusive premiere through Toilet Ov Hell on July 14. Built from decades of musical vision and refined through years of writing and experimentation, Carceral delivers a crushing instrumental assault that merges the technical aggression of death and thrash metal with the speed, intensity, and relentless pacing of grindcore. Without a traditional vocalist, the band places the full weight of storytelling on the guitars, bass, and drums, allowing the instrumentation itself to become the voice. "Descending Reprisal" explores a dark apocalyptic vision centered around punishment, collapse, and the consequences of humanity’s systems of power, privilege, and injustice. Across 24 tracks, the album represents different stages of a devastating downfall, combining intricate musicianship, chaotic energy, and oppressive atmosphere into a cinematic extreme metal experience. According to guitarist and band founder Roberto Ortega, the album represents the realization of an idea that has existed for more than two decades: "Descending Reprisal is the result of an idea that took shape over more than two decades. The concept was to combine the riff language of death and thrash metal with the brevity and relentless pacing of grindcore, while keeping the music entirely instrumental. Instead of vocals, the guitars, bass, and drums carry the narrative. The album revolves around the idea of punishment in an apocalyptic setting, reflecting on the systems of power, privilege, and injustice created by humanity. Every song is meant to feel like another stage in that collapse. Although the music draws inspiration from bands like Death, Morbid Angel, and Dark Angel, I also wanted to capture the unsettling, dissonant atmosphere of Voivod and Immolation. The goal was never to recreate those sounds, but to combine the expressive freedom of instrumental music with the darkness and intensity of extreme metal. We hope Descending Reprisal offers listeners an experience that feels both familiar and completely new." With "Descending Reprisal," Carceral introduces a unique presence within instrumental extreme metal, proving that crushing heaviness, emotional depth, and storytelling can exist without a single lyric. The album stands as a testament to the power of pure musicianship, where every riff, drum hit, and atmospheric shift pushes the narrative forward. The album was produced by Roberto Ortega and Victor Hormidas, with mixing and mastering handled by Samuel Bassani. The recording process took place across multiple studios between January 2025 and May 2026, with additional contributions from a talented team of artists, designers, and musicians who helped bring the world of "Descending Reprisal" to life.

The track serves as another devastating preview of the band's forthcoming full-length album, Chapter IV, with vinyl pre-orders available now. Forged in 1985, SOOTHSAYER earned their place among Canada's underground thrash elite during the genre's most explosive years. Their legendary 1986 demo To Be a Real Terrorist spread rapidly through the tape-trading scene, establishing the band as one of the country's most uncompromising forces. Tracks like "Death Radiation," "Troops of Hate," and "Kill Oppression" showcased SOOTHSAYER's signature blend of razor-sharp thrash, crossover aggression, and punk-fueled intensity. Their classic release Have a Good Time helped cement a distinctly Canadian brand of thrash that valued raw energy and authenticity over commercial polish. Following the reunion of the original lineup in 2007, SOOTHSAYER picked up exactly where they left off, delivering the same unfiltered aggression that first put them on the map. Now, with "FAILURE," the band proves they haven't lost a step. Packed with blistering riffs, relentless speed, and venomous vocals, the new single delivers everything longtime fans expect while reminding a new generation why SOOTHSAYER remain a force to be reckoned with. The accompanying music video captures the band's raw intensity and no-nonsense approach that has defined them for four decades. Chapter IV continues SOOTHSAYER's legacy of uncompromising old-school thrash. No gimmicks. No chasing trends. Just pure, high-octane metal forged in the spirit of the underground and delivered with the same ferocity that made the band legends in the first place.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LucyVivor Unleashes Powerful New Single "The Thirteenth Gate" Out July 13, 2026 Independent UK Alt-Metal Artist Transforms Personal Battles Into A Cinematic Anthem Of Survival, Hope, And Resilience Release Date: July 13, 2026 Genre: Alternative Metal, Progressive MetalFor Fans Of: Spiritbox, Bring Me The Horizon, President Emerging UK alternative/progressive metal artist LucyVivor is set to release the emotionally charged new single "The Thirteenth Gate" on July 13, 2026, an atmospheric and deeply personal journey through fear, uncertainty, and the strength to keep moving forward when life offers no clear answers. Forged from lived experience, The Thirteenth Gate blends cinematic soundscapes, crushing modern metal riffs, haunting melodies, and emotionally driven vocals into a powerful anthem of perseverance. Inspired by LucyVivor's experience living with the rare genetic condition Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, along with anxiety, grief, and the uncertainty of an unpredictable future, the song explores the emotional weight of navigating life's darkest moments while refusing to surrender hope. Built around the idea that survival is not about having all the answers, but finding the courage to keep walking despite the unknown, The Thirteenth Gate speaks to anyone facing illness, loss, mental health struggles, or the everyday fears that come with growing older and confronting an uncertain future. The song captures a lingering sense of unease through cinematic verses before erupting into soaring choruses that balance vulnerability with determination. Fans of Linkin Park, Bad Omens, Motionless In White, Poppy, Spiritbox, and Bring Me The Horizon will find themselves at home within LucyVivor's emotionally immersive sound. Describing the meaning behind the single, LucyVivor explains: "I never write songs with the expectation that they'll change the world, I write them because they're how I survive the difficult moments in my own life. The Thirteenth Gate came from a very real place of fear, uncertainty and learning to keep walking forward when you can't see what's ahead. If someone hears this song and it helps them find the strength to face whatever they're going through, even for a moment, then I know it was meant to exist." Known for creating music that refuses to hide from difficult emotions, LucyVivor channels deeply personal experiences into songs that resonate with listeners searching for strength, healing, and understanding. With the motto "Heavy Is Her Name," LucyVivor has built an identity around fearless creativity and emotional honesty. An LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent artist from the United Kingdom, every release serves as both a survival story and an invitation for others to find courage in their own battles. Produced, co-written, mixed, and mastered by Jim White, The Thirteenth Gate delivers polished modern production while preserving the raw emotional intensity at its core. Whether confronting chronic illness, anxiety, grief, or the uncertainty that comes with simply being human, The Thirteenth Gate reminds listeners that courage isn't the absence of fear. It's choosing to keep moving despite it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DISTANT Announce New Album Into Despair Out November 6 via Century Media Records New Single “All Will Be (N)One” Featuring Ricky Myers of Suffocation Available Now Dutch/Slovak deathcore force DISTANT have announced their new full-length album Into Despair, set for release November 6, 2026 via Century Media Records. Alongside the announcement, the band has dropped the first single, “All Will Be (N)One,” featuring Ricky Myers of death metal legends Suffocation. The track hits like a concrete wall and then lingers in the aftermath. “All Will Be (N)One” drags listeners through a bleak, atmospheric descent centered on humanity’s fear of death and the slow, unavoidable collapse of time itself. Crushing deathcore intensity collides with haunting melodic passages, building a suffocating sense of dread before snapping into raw, unfiltered aggression. Ricky Myers brings an unmistakable weight to the track, pushing its message deeper into darkness and reinforcing the central idea behind the song, that nothing escapes the end, and everything eventually returns to nothing. Stylistically, DISTANT continue to sharpen their blend of cinematic heaviness and emotional extremity, but Into Despair signals a shift in focus. This time, the storytelling is not fictional. It is personal. Across the album, the band steps away from conceptual narratives and turns inward, pulling directly from lived experience, grief, loss, hardship, and the long road of resilience that follows. The band comments: “Into Despair is the most honest music we've ever written. Every song comes from something we've lived through. Instead of hiding behind stories or concepts, we wanted to write about real emotions and real experiences. This album became a way for us to process grief and pain, but also a reminder that these are things everyone carries in one form or another.” That honesty runs through every layer of the record. Into Despair is not just heavy in sound, it is heavy in meaning. It turns personal suffering into something shared, something listeners can recognize in their own lives. It is catharsis turned into amplification. For fans of Spite, Lorna Shore, and Slaughter to Prevail, DISTANT continue to stand in the upper tier of modern deathcore, but Into Despair pushes further into emotional territory than ever before. With a reputation built on cinematic brutality and unrelenting intensity, DISTANT now channel that force into something more vulnerable, more human, and arguably more dangerous because of it.

Each release has expanded Crucial Velocity's sound while staying rooted in the band's identity, blending classic heavy metal power with modern production, technical musicianship, and cinematic storytelling. GUEST ARTIST POWER AND BAND LINEUP "The Harvest" features soaring intro and outro guitar performances from Fredrik Åkesson, adding a widescreen progressive dimension to the track's already massive sound. The band's lineup delivers on every level: Androo O'Hearn – Lead vocals and harmonies Nate Bauer – Songwriter, guitars, and bass Michael Harris – Technical precision and melodic lead guitar Matt Thompson – Thunderous, world-class drums SCI-FI STORYLINE "The Harvest" takes Crucial Velocity into bold conceptual territory.

Heavy, cinematic, and intensely atmospheric, the track feels like the soundtrack to the end of civilization itself. EVOLUTION OF A MODERN METAL FORCE Crucial Velocity continues to evolve while honoring the foundations of classic metal. With each release, the band pushes deeper into ambitious storytelling, elite musicianship, and larger-than-life production without sacrificing the raw power that defines their sound.
