FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Patriarchs in Black Release Bold New Single “Supertzar” – A Powerful Reimagining of a Black Sabbath Deep Cut NoLifeTilMetal Records continues its strong run in 2026 as Patriarchs in Black unveil their latest single, “Supertzar,” a daring and atmospheric reinterpretation of one of Black Sabbath’s most ambitious and underappreciated compositions. Fans can listen to the track here:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="TrAxp24J1NA"] While many bands lean on the obvious classics, Patriarchs in Black take a different path. “Supertzar” is a deep cut that few would attempt, delivering a nearly rock opera–like experience. The track blends crushing guitars and thunderous drums with haunting, angelic female vocals from Sarah Sovak, creating a massive and cinematic soundscape. The lineup on this release is nothing short of heavy music pedigree. Johnny Kelly (Type O Negative) delivers his signature powerhouse drumming, while Dan Lorenzo (Hades) drives the track with crushing riffs. Former Pale Horse Named Death member Eric J. Morgan adds depth and atmosphere on keys, helping elevate the song into something truly epic. Adding to the track’s credibility, original Bill Ward himself gave his stamp of approval after hearing the rendition. Dan Lorenzo shares insight into the inspiration behind the track: "When I wrote the song 'Where You Think You're Going' off the 'Home' album with DMC, Johnny Kelly and I were talking about other hard rock songs that utilized female vocals. Johnny mentioned 'Supertzar'. I hadn't listened to that track in years and when I reexamined it I fell in love with it. Sarah Sovak and Eric J. Morgan really helped us bring the song to life." With “Supertzar,” Patriarchs in Black prove once again they’re not here to play it safe. They’re digging deep, taking risks, and delivering something that feels both classic and completely fresh.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE VAJRA WALKED THROUGH THE RUINS OF POMPEII. WHAT THEY BROUGHT BACK WILL STOP YOU COLD. “SET THE CONTROLS FOR THE HEART OF THE SUN (POMPEII REIMAGINING)” — OUT NOW New York, NY — Progressive metal/art rock band Vajra has released their haunting reinterpretation of Pink Floyd’s “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” available now on all major platforms. Arriving as a Pompeii Reimagining, the track stands as something rare: a piece of music that earns the weight it carries. This is not a cover. It’s a continuation. Originally sparked by the practical need to extend a live set, the song evolved into something far more immersive. Inspired by the stark, elemental atmosphere of Live at Pompeii, Vajra spent years living inside the composition before recording it. Replicating it would have been easy. That was never the goal. “The song feels alive… like a portal. It asked something of us. We realized that to carry it forward, we had to enter its heat.” Pilgrimage Vocalist Annamaria Pinna and guitarist Dave Sussman traveled to Pompeii and Herculaneum, walking the same streets, standing in the amphitheater where the original performance was filmed. They studied Pliny the Younger’s firsthand account alongside archaeological and volcanological records of the eruption’s final hours. “My family is from that region. Maybe they were there, or knew of it when it happened. I don’t know. But I feel that story in my cells. If we were going to reinterpret this song, we had to honor the people of Pompeii as fully and honestly as we could.” The Music Video The accompanying video was written, shot, edited, and produced entirely by Pinna and Sussman. Blending original footage captured in Pompeii and Herculaneum with AI-assisted visuals, it reconstructs the city’s final 24 hours through a first-person lens. What begins as an ordinary day quickly turns catastrophic. It doesn’t just tell the story. It puts you inside it. Echoes Through Time More than five decades after its creation, the original composition still resonates. Vajra expands its architecture into something heavier, slower, and more cinematic. Pinna’s ethereal vocals drift through the mix like smoke through stone, while the hypnotic pulse remains intact. The ritual is still there. The tension builds differently. The silence at the end lingers longer. “We feel that the song is sacred, and it is still echoing. So are the images. There’s something unfinished in it. Something still moving.” Why This Song. Why Now. Pompeii didn’t fade away. It vanished in less than a day. An ordinary morning turned into total destruction with no warning. That idea doesn’t feel distant anymore. “There are forces that can reroute our lives overnight. What feels stable can shift instantly. Our time here is brief. That awareness changes everything, including how you create.” Released on the Spring Equinox, a moment of balance between darkness and light, this reimagining stands as both remembrance and a wake-up call. The song is out now. The video is out now. Listen. Watch. Then sit with it.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Too Much Said The Nature Unleashes Ferocious New Single “Eat The Rich” Death/black metal project Too Much Said The Nature (TMSTN) returns with a sharp new statement in modern extreme metal. The single, Eat The Rich, drops on March 22, 2026, signaling the evolution of the project from a solo endeavor into a full-fledged two-man band. Founded in 2021 by guitarist and composer Tapio Välimäki, TMSTN initially operated as a one-man black/death metal project featuring guest vocalists. Following the 2025 release of the EP Prophet of Tomorrow, which featured Joni Mustonen on vocals, Välimäki reached out to Mustonen to join forces permanently. The result is a new chapter in TMSTN’s journey: a collaborative effort blending relentless riffing, complex arrangements, and atmospheric touches. "After years of working alone, I thought it was time to make TMSTN a proper band," Välimäki says. "I sent Joni some older songs that hadn’t been released yet, and he felt these should see the light of day. ‘Eat The Rich’ is the first of these, a song that tackles class disparity, politics, and warfare in our world today." The track is the second single from an upcoming five-song EP, featuring guest keyboardist Mika Huotari and mastered by Andreas “Seidr Jonsson” Westholm at Dark Prod Studios. A third single is planned in the coming months. Fans of Whitechapel, Omnium Gatherum, and Der Weg einer Freiheit will find TMSTN’s latest offering a potent mix of aggression, technicality, and haunting melody, all wrapped in a searingly modern black/death aesthetic.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Binary Order Unleashes New Single False Memories Ahead of Concept Album The Same Dream Listen and Pre-Save: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/binaryorder/false-memories April 2, 2026 – The electronic frontier just got darker. Binary Order returns with their latest single, False Memories, a striking introduction to the band’s upcoming cyberpunk concept album, The Same Dream. Fans of HEALTH, Nine Inch Nails, Lorn, Celldweller, Combichrist, and Pertubator will find themselves drawn into a world where identity collapses, isolation reigns, and electronic soundscapes push the boundaries of human experience. Created by London-based solo musician Benjamin Blank, Binary Order was conceived as a way to combine a love for multiple genres. Fusing the intensity of industrial, the haunting atmosphere of ambient soundscapes, and the piercing electronics of IDM, Binary Order delivers epic cyberpunk odysseys that soundtrack our descent into a hell of our own making—a hell in which we become ever more disconnected from ourselves and each other, succumbing to the unrelenting fear that mankind is too far gone to stop the horrors we have set in motion. This is the sound of Binary Order. "With the upcoming album The Same Dream I wanted to use it to fully explore the extent of my love for electronics," says Blank. "It's an album that spans across multiple different genres of electronic music. So it was hard to decide on a first single, but ultimately I felt False Memories was only right to be the introduction to my new sound. It touches upon concepts of identity collapse and isolation that permeate the entire record." False Memories is defined by soaring cybernetic synths, pounding industrial rhythms, and anthemic choruses that pull listeners into a haunting, immersive atmosphere. This track marks a new era for Binary Order, setting the tone for an album that dives deep into unimaginable desolation while exploring the full spectrum of modern electronic music. The single was produced, mixed, and mastered by Benjamin Blank, capturing the intensity and precision that fans have come to expect from Binary Order.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE GODLESS Unleash “Architect of Torment” – New Single Marks 10 Years of Relentless Death Metal Indian extreme metal powerhouse GODLESS are set to release their blistering new single, Architect of Torment, on May 1, 2026. Celebrating a decade of uncompromising death metal, the band follows a trajectory that has taken them from India’s underground to international stages, including Wacken Open Air, Obscene Extreme Festival, and SWR Barroselas Metalfest. Formed in 2015, GODLESS have built a reputation on thrash-infused, aggressive death metal that refuses to compromise. From their debut EP Centuries of Decadence (2016) to their acclaimed full-length States of Chaos (2021), the Hyderabad quartet have consistently pushed boundaries, earning attention from Rolling Stone India, Metal Injection, and Invisible Oranges, while topping Bandcamp’s global thrash and death metal charts. Architect of Torment sees GODLESS expanding their sound while retaining their signature intensity. “The track balances crushing riffs, tight grooves, and guttural vocals with a more melancholic and atmospheric dimension,” says the band. “Moving between relentless heaviness and eerie restraint, it explores institutionalized dehumanization, following a man trapped in a system where he becomes both victim and architect of the suffering around him.” The single was produced by GODLESS and mixed & mastered at Rorysound Studio in Sweden by Lawrence Mackrory, delivering a sonic experience that blends aggression with immersive depth. Fans of early-Decapitated, Morbid Angel, and Misery Index will find Architect of Torment a powerful statement of GODLESS’ evolving sound—a perfect introduction for new listeners and a testament to their decade-long reign over India’s extreme metal scene. The single drops May 1, 2026, ahead of an India tour and a massive 30-city European headline run, including the legendary Obscene Extreme Festival.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Nocturnal Ceremony Unleashes “Seasons of Hate” Official Video, Cementing Their Return to Extreme Metal Dominance Independent modern death metal titans Nocturnal Ceremony continue their triumphant resurgence with the release of the official video for “Seasons of Hate,” a standout track from their debut album Obsidian (March 4, 2026). Following glowing international reviews from publications like Heavy Metal Philosophy and Deadly Storm Zine, the new visual accompaniment further showcases the band’s mastery of haunting atmosphere, crushing riffs, and blackened death metal intensity. The “Seasons of Hate” video plunges viewers into a ritualistic, shadow-drenched world where ancient passions collide with modern brutality. True to the album’s tone, the visuals mirror the music’s eerie depth—fog-laden landscapes, spectral imagery, and visceral intensity combine to create an immersive experience that pulls fans deep into Nocturnal Ceremony’s dark universe. Deadly Storm Zine previously described Obsidian as “strange, captivating, and magical,” likening the album to wandering through fog-covered cemeteries at dawn while ghosts drift between gravestones. Tracks like “Seasons of Hate” exemplify that hypnotic, blackened energy, balancing raw aggression with atmosphere and emotional weight. Highlights from “Seasons of Hate” and Obsidian include: A dense, crushing sound that commands attention while evoking haunting imagery Dark, imaginative songwriting that bridges ancient mysticism and contemporary extreme metal Hypnotic blackened death metal energy that lingers long after the final note Originally formed in the early 1990s, Nocturnal Ceremony vanished before fully realizing their potential. Now, more than three decades later, the band delivers a debut album that proves some darkness only grows stronger with time. Produced, mixed, mastered, and engineered by Thomas Madsen, Obsidian captures the band’s raw ferocity and cathartic depth, delivering an unrelenting sonic journey through shadow, memory, and emotion. Nocturnal Ceremony says of the album:"Sharing our music is a way of alleviation, up to the point of being cathartic. It is a way to express emotions that simply don't have any words, or a name. Releasing these songs is an act of letting go of some demons. It is about accepting what life now is and who you have become, to perhaps ultimately find some small measure of peace. Maybe by listening, you can too. We are Nocturnal Ceremony – welcome to our darkness." Fans of Igorrr, Behemoth, and Bloodbath will find plenty to sink their teeth into as “Seasons of Hate” and the rest of Obsidian continue spreading throughout the underground metal scene. Watch the official video for “Seasons of Hate” here: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="kyPf5op-yLE"] Stream the album and add to your playlists:https://hypeddit.com/nocturnalceremony/obsidian Independent, relentless, and unapologetically heavy, Nocturnal Ceremony proves that true darkness never dies, and Obsidian—with the video for “Seasons of Hate”—is solidifying its place as one of 2026’s most talked-about underground metal releases.
