FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ICE HOWL UNLEASHES NEW ALBUM THE LEDGER OF TIMELESS WATCHERS AS BAND PREPARES FOR "MUSIC OF THE MAIAR" TOUR US Power Metal Warriors Forge a New Chapter With Acclaimed Album and September Tour Ice Howl proudly announces the release of their latest full-length album, The Ledger of Timeless Watchers, available now on all major digital streaming platforms. The album was released digitally on April 24, 2026, with a physical edition through Alone Records (Greece) scheduled for release between September and November 2026. Blending the epic spirit of classic US Power Metal with traditional heavy metal firepower, The Ledger of Timeless Watchers showcases a band that has evolved without abandoning its roots. Fans of Judas Priest, Visigoth, and Grand Magus will find soaring vocals, crushing riffs, memorable hooks, and heroic songwriting that pays tribute to metal's timeless traditions while forging its own path. Formed in 2015, Ice Howl first earned recognition in the doom metal underground before gradually expanding into a more powerful and dynamic US Power Metal sound across three albums. The band's current lineup came together in an unexpected way after bassist Mark Jackson expressed interest in joining during a 2022 interview on The Metal Forge. What began as an offhand comment quickly became reality, leading to the first rehearsal of the new lineup in May 2023. Since then, Ice Howl has continued to build its reputation by sharing the stage with respected acts including Sanhedrin, Unto Others, Mares of Thrace, Tribunal, and the legendary Satan. The band has also delivered standout performances at notable festivals such as Legions of Metal in Chicago and Asheville Doomed & Stoned Chapter II in North Carolina. Inspired by the release of The Ledger of Timeless Watchers, Ice Howl is now taking its music on the road with the newly announced Music of the Maiar Tour. Named after the immortal beings from J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth mythology, the tour represents a meeting of powerful musical forces alongside fellow metal warriors Perennial Quest. The partnership carries special significance, as vocalist Zebah Latifi has recently stepped in to handle vocal duties for Perennial Quest, creating a unique alliance between the two bands. The band describes the collaboration as: "A meeting of the Maiar. A cosmic clash of the eternal debate: fast shreds or groovy rides? Why not both? European Power Metal's high-flying riffs collide with the bone-crushing force of US Power Metal to create an unforgettable live experience." Music of the Maiar Tour Dates September 12 – Harley-Davidson Cannonball – Terre Haute, IN (Ice Howl only) September 17 – Live Wire Lounge – Chicago, IL (with Thundergoat) September 18 – Parts & Labor – Detroit, MI (with Thundergoat) September 19 – Maple Grove Tavern – Cleveland, OH (with Thundergoat) September 20 – Carl's Tavern – Fort Wayne, IN (with Thundergoat) September 21 – Mag Bar: Metal Monday – Louisville, KY Ice Howl Lineup Zebah Latifi – Vocals Jason Roach – Lead Guitar Seth Crichfield – Rhythm Guitar Mike Taylor – Drums Mark Jackson – Bass / Backing Vocals With The Ledger of Timeless Watchers, Ice Howl continues its ascent as one of the standout torchbearers of modern US Power Metal, delivering an album built for listeners who crave triumphant melodies, thunderous riffs, and unforgettable live performances. The Ledger of Timeless Watchers is available now on digital platforms, with physical editions arriving later this year through Alone Records.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BUZZED & LOADED Return With Explosive New Album Medication Nation Out August 12, 2026 Hard Rock Veterans Deliver Arena-Sized Hooks, Classic Rock Swagger, and a Dose of Unfiltered Rock 'n' Roll SEATTLE, WA – Hard rock powerhouse BUZZED & LOADED are ready to unleash their third full-length album, Medication Nation, arriving August 12, 2026 via Bootstrap Records. Loaded with massive riffs, unforgettable choruses, and the band's signature blend of humor and attitude, Medication Nation delivers a fresh prescription of high-energy hard rock built for fans who still believe in loud guitars and larger-than-life rock anthems. For fans of Ted Nugent, KISS, and Alice Cooper, BUZZED & LOADED bring the spirit of classic arena rock into the modern era with catchy hooks, swagger-filled performances, and tongue-in-cheek lyrics that refuse to take the fun out of rock and roll. The story of BUZZED & LOADED began with a simple plan: longtime Facebook friends Buzz Brown (drums) and Rob Trosino (guitar/vocals) wanted an excuse to share tequila shots and jam through some of their favorite cover songs. But during their first gathering in July 2020 at their haunted Seattle studio, something unexpected happened. The chemistry was undeniable, and by the end of that first session, four original songs had already been written. The cover songs were quickly forgotten, and BUZZED & LOADED was born. Built on infectious arena rock choruses, memorable guitar riffs, and a larger-than-life personality, the band channels the classic rock excess and showmanship of decades past while adding their own modern sense of humor and storytelling. Following the band's debut album, bassist Andy Claus joined BUZZED & LOADED, replacing Roger Capps, legendary bassist and founding member of Pat Benatar. According to the band, Andy's arrival was written in rock and roll destiny after the group bonded over an unforgettable and bizarre encounter during an awards show trip to Nashville. It was the kind of wild story that could only happen in the world of BUZZED & LOADED. Medication Nation marks another major achievement for the band, earning a nomination for Rock Album of the Year at the Josie Music Awards, held at Nashville's Grand Ole Opry last October. This marks the third consecutive BUZZED & LOADED album to receive a nomination in the category, further cementing the band's growing reputation among rock fans and industry professionals. Over the years, BUZZED & LOADED have earned worldwide attention through appearances in print magazines and digital media outlets while continuing to expand their audience with their unique brand of hard rock entertainment. With new music already in the works, the band continues pushing forward and building on the momentum created by Medication Nation. Speaking about the album, the band says: "In a world that has a pill for everything we have a band that has tried every pill for you. Welcome to the dangers of Medication Nation." Produced by BUZZED & LOADED and mixed/mastered by Robert Trosino, Medication Nation delivers exactly what rock fans crave: powerful guitars, huge hooks, attitude, and a good dose of fun. So raise a glass, turn it up loud, and remember: You will never get a hangover if you stay BUZZED & LOADED!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Death of the Heron Unleashes Progressive Metal Journey Blood of Yesterday Minneapolis, MN — July 17, 2026 — Minnesota progressive metal force Death of the Heron has released their highly anticipated debut full-length album, Blood of Yesterday, through Harambe Media International. A sprawling and emotionally charged offering, the album showcases a band determined to push beyond genre boundaries while delivering a powerful exploration of grief, identity, loss, and the human condition. Produced by Daniel Schmitt and Chad Helmonds, with mixing and mastering handled by Will Maravelas of 14:59 Studios, Blood of Yesterday is a meticulously crafted progressive metal experience that spans over an hour of atmospheric depth, crushing heaviness, and intricate songwriting. Drawing influence from the likes of Opeth, Gojira, and Amorphis, Death of the Heron creates a sound that thrives on contrast and sonic duality. The album moves effortlessly between crushing syncopated riffs, harsh vocal intensity, haunting atmospheres, and moments of unexpected melodic beauty. Every track serves as part of a larger emotional journey, balancing technical musicianship with raw vulnerability. At the heart of Blood of Yesterday is an exploration of the fragile nature of existence. Vocalist and guitarist Daniel Schmitt guides listeners through themes of past versus present, self versus loss of self, and the weight of inevitable change. The album dives into the darker corners of human experience, confronting grief, personal downfall, death, desire, rage, and the struggle to accept what cannot be controlled. “Blood of Yesterday” stands as both a reflection and a reckoning, a record built around the idea that comfort is the enemy of growth and that true artistry comes from constantly challenging yourself. About Death of the Heron Death of the Heron is a Minnesota-based progressive metal band known for their expansive compositions, emotional intensity, and refusal to be confined by a single genre. With a foundation built on experimentation and relentless creative evolution, the band crafts immersive soundscapes that combine technical precision with genuine emotional expression. The band’s approach is rooted in a simple philosophy: never being content. Death of the Heron continually pushes against their own boundaries, embracing complexity, contrast, and vulnerability in pursuit of creating something meaningful. Their debut album, Blood of Yesterday, represents the culmination of that vision, delivering a bold statement from a band unafraid to explore the darkest and most challenging aspects of the human experience. With their latest release, Death of the Heron solidifies their place within the Twin Cities metal scene while introducing their uncompromising sound to listeners around the world.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Original Wayne Static Recording of "Hollow" Surfaces Online Following YouTube Removal Previously unheard version remains available through alternate stream after initial upload is taken down A previously unreleased recording of "Hollow" featuring the late Wayne Static has surfaced online, giving fans the opportunity to hear an earlier version of the song before it was reworked for Static-X's Project: Regeneration Vol. 1. The recording was released by director Matt Zane, who is currently completing an unauthorized documentary exploring the lives of Wayne Static and his late wife, Tera Wray. While the song was initially uploaded to YouTube, it has since been removed from the platform. The recording remains available through an alternate streaming link. "Hollow" would later become the lead single from Project: Regeneration Vol. 1, the 2020 album built around vocal recordings Wayne Static left behind prior to his passing in 2014. At the time of the album's release, members of the reformed Static-X stated that portions of the song had been unfinished and required additional work before its release. Zane disputes that characterization, saying he believes the newly surfaced recording indicates the song was substantially complete before it was reworked. "Let's be honest, there was no reason to pull the music off this track and change it," said Matt Zane. "But by doing so they get some of the publishing. Personally, I would have left it as Wayne intended." The circumstances surrounding the creation and subsequent release of "Hollow" remain a matter of public disagreement between Zane and those involved with the Project: Regeneration releases. The release has already drawn attention within the metal community and was recently covered by ThePRP, which reported on the appearance of the original recording and the ongoing discussion surrounding Zane's forthcoming documentary. Zane has also announced that his documentary examining the lives of Wayne Static and Tera Wray is expected to be released free to stream in early 2027. The project has faced public objections from members of the current Static-X camp, as well as representatives of the estates of Wayne Static and Tera Wray. Zane has publicly stated that he intends to continue with the film. For longtime fans, the release offers a rare opportunity to hear Wayne Static's original performance and compare it with the version that ultimately appeared on Project: Regeneration Vol. 1.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Will Carroll Reveals Why Nefarious Replaced Its Singer, Talks Death Angel Touring and Supporting the Underground on The Zach Moonshine Show Death Angel drummer Will Carroll joined The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio for an honest, wide-ranging conversation covering Death Angel's upcoming European tour, his work with Hectic Records and Bleeding Priest Records, the health of the underground metal scene, and the unexpected circumstances that led to a lineup change in his other band, Nefarious. The show opened with the latest releases from Metal Devastation PR artists before spotlighting this week's Battle of the Bands winners: Trivan, Soul Of Sheol, Rage Of Justice, K Gizzle, Heidbekka, and Mistress. From there, the conversation turned toward what has become one of the busiest years of Carroll's career. Seven Weeks Across Europe Carroll explained that his summer schedule will keep him overseas for nearly two months. "We do festivals with Death Angel and then we do three additional weeks in Europe with Nefarious... I'll be out there for a total of seven weeks with two different bands. So it's going to be a busy summer." The tour includes Death Angel performances alongside legendary acts like Voivod and Biohazard, before Carroll switches gears to continue touring with Nefarious. The Story Behind the Nefarious Singer Change One of the most revealing moments of the interview came when Zach asked about the band's recent vocalist change. Carroll praised original vocalist Katon W. De Pena's performance on the album before explaining why the lineup ultimately changed. "He did a great job on the record. He sounds great, but basically he ghosted us." According to Carroll, communication began falling apart shortly after the album had been recorded. "After we recorded the album and we were putting it together and getting ready to put it out, we were having communication issues with him." Things became even more stressful as the band's first live performance approached. "We had our debut show coming up and we couldn't get a hold of him. We didn't know if he was actually even going to show up to the gig." Although the vocalist did perform that debut show successfully, Carroll explained that the problems continued. "He showed up and it was great... We were excited about moving forward. And then we didn't hear from him again for like over a month. He just stopped talking to us." Faced with uncertainty, the band decided it had to move forward with a dependable lineup. Carroll also revealed that the current version of the album featuring new vocalist Sean Rivera will receive a CD and digital release, while the vinyl editions released through Hectic Records will remain exclusive to the original recording. Building Heavy Music Beyond the Stage Beyond touring, Carroll spoke passionately about running Hectic Records and Bleeding Priest Records, labels dedicated to supporting underground metal through physical releases, especially vinyl. Rather than slowing down between tours, he's helping new artists get their music into fans' hands while continuing to perform with one of thrash metal's most respected bands. His enthusiasm for independent metal was evident throughout the interview, reinforcing the importance of labels that remain committed to heavy music for the right reasons. More Than Just Another Interview As always, The Zach Moonshine Show focused on real conversations instead of rehearsed promotional talking points. From life on the road and European touring to record collecting, independent labels, and the realities of keeping a band together, Carroll offered listeners an unfiltered look at what it takes to survive in heavy metal. If you missed the live broadcast, you can now watch and listen to the full interview on the Metal Devastation Radio YouTube channel and podcast platforms.
