FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DANISH ROCK DUO J.S.P. RETURNS WITH EMOTIONAL NEW SINGLE “LOST WITHOUT YOU” OUT NOW (Modern Rock | FFO: Within Temptation, Evanescence, The Cranberries) Danish modern rock duo J.S.P. return with their powerful new single, “Lost Without You,” a dark and emotionally driven anthem that dives deep into obsession, emotional dependency, and the blurred line between love and toxicity. Built on cinematic atmosphere and soaring vocal intensity, the track captures the signature J.S.P. blend of modern rock weight and melodic sensitivity, balancing vulnerability with raw intensity. J.S.P. is formed by Jacob Kjaer (guitar) and Alexandra Andersen (vocals), whose creative partnership first began through their work with Danish prog and symphonic metal veterans Royal Hunt. Since then, the duo has continued to refine a sound rooted in strong melodies, emotional storytelling, and polished modern rock production. “Lost Without You” also features Kasper Gram on bass and Allan Tschicaja on drums, with mixing and mastering handled by Nicklas Sonne, delivering a tight, dynamic, and radio-ready production that still keeps its emotional edge intact. With echoes of Within Temptation, Evanescence, and The Cranberries, J.S.P. stands firmly in the lane of modern melodic rock built for both airplay and deep listening.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOTHING SACRED RETURN WITH TWO NEW 2026 RELEASES Old School Speed Metal veterans unleash “Am I Going Insane” and “Your Time Will Come” — both available now Nothing Sacred are back in full force, carrying the torch of raw,... More

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOTHING SACRED RETURN WITH TWO NEW 2026 RELEASES Old School Speed Metal veterans unleash “Am I Going Insane” and “Your Time Will Come” — both available now Nothing Sacred are back in full force, carrying the torch of raw, fast, no-nonsense heavy metal straight out of the early wave that helped shape Australia’s underground scene. The band’s explosive take on “Am I Going Insane” (Black Sabbath cover) was released on April 3rd, 2026. Their new original single “Your Time Will Come” followed on May 28th, 2026 — both releases are now available worldwide. OLD SCHOOL METAL WITH BLOOD, SWEAT, AND HISTORY Formed in the early 1980s, Nothing Sacred emerged from Australia’s hard rock dominated landscape, pushing hard against the “pub rock” norm with a sharper, faster, NWOBHM-influenced edge. While bands like AC/DC and Rose Tattoo ruled the bars, Nothing Sacred helped carve out something heavier, faster, and more aggressive for the underground. By 1986, their relentless live reputation landed them headlining the Metal for Melbourne festival, pulling over 1,400 fans and cementing their place in Aussie metal history. Through the 80s, the band self-released cult favorites including the Deathwish EP and the Let Us Prey album, both recorded in just four days and now regarded as underground classics. The band’s story later intersected with members contributing to early Hobbs Angel of Death recordings, while the shifting 90s scene saw the group fade into semi-dormancy. Fast forward to the 2000s and beyond, Nothing Sacred returned to active duty, reigniting interest through documentaries, international festival appearances, and a new wave of global recognition. Recent years have seen them share stages with heavyweights like Udo Dirkschneider, Metal Church, and Paul Di’Anno, plus tours across Europe and Japan. 2026: A NEW CHAPTER WITH TEETH Their 2026 output shows a band that refuses to slow down. The Black Sabbath cover, originally recorded for an Ozzy tribute compilation benefiting Fight Parkinson’s, is a raw and crushing reinterpretation of a classic. A statement from Sham explains it best: “We picked this track as there’s not much you can do to the classic Black Sabbath tracks that could make them better than the original. This was the one track that could be open to interpretation and turned into just about anything which is exactly what we did.” The result is a thunderous, heavy-as-hell tribute that stays true to the spirit of Sabbath while dragging it through the fire of Nothing Sacred’s speed metal identity. Meanwhile, “Your Time Will Come” delivers something darker and more narrative driven. The track tells the story of a condemned man facing execution without fear or regret, transforming his suffering into legacy and defiance. It is a song about conviction, sacrifice, and the idea that belief does not die with the body. SOUND AND STYLE Genre: Old School Speed MetalFFO: NWOBHM, Motörhead, early Iron Maiden, Angel Witch, Tokyo Blade PRODUCTION All recording, mixing, mastering, and production handled by Sham. LABEL STATUS Recent releases have been handled independently following prior partnerships with Rockshots Records, Dies Irae (South America), and Rue Morgue Records. The band plans to reassess label support after completing their next recording cycle. BAND STATEMENT ON “YOUR TIME WILL COME” The song is built around defiance in the face of judgment, turning execution into transformation. The character at its center refuses silence, refuses regret, and frames death as the beginning of something that outlives the body. Check them out on Spotify! https://open.spotify.com/artist/68L540i5tc7wLsj4cz2NrI Check out the video and share: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="wR7OnV-P8e4"] LINKS https://linktr.ee/NothingSacredhttps://nothingsacred.com.au/wp/epk/ CONTACTshamadelic@gmail.com Nothing Sacred are not here to reinvent the wheel.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE BANISHED TRUTH Drops Official Music Video for “Banished Truth (Happily Oblivious)” From Debut Album Exilium Veritatis Death Metal Project Unleashes Title Track Visual From Self-Produced Album Out Now Banished Truth is back with a fresh visual punch straight to the jaw, releasing the official music video for “Banished Truth (Happily Oblivious),” the title track from the debut album Exilium Veritatis. Built from the ground up as a self-produced death metal statement, Banished Truth is the creation of Indian guitarist and lifelong metal devotee Vikas D. What started as a solo vision has now fully manifested into a razor-edged blend of classic death metal aggression, melodic precision, and uncompromising lyrical depth. The new video captures the essence of the project in its rawest form, pairing blistering riffs and surgical lead work with a dark, introspective edge that hits just as hard visually as it does sonically. Influenced by the melodic chaos of Children of Bodom, the unrelenting brutality of Deicide, and the technical force of Vader, Banished Truth delivers a sound built on old-school foundations with modern execution. No gloss, no trends, just pure intent. “This album aims to balance aggression and fury with melody and instrumental craft alongside socio-political and existential themes,” says Vikas D. Exilium Veritatis was conceived, written, performed, and produced entirely by Vikas D, making it a true one-man death metal assault. Every track reflects a refusal to cut corners, keeping the spirit of the genre intact while pushing it forward on his own terms. While Banished Truth currently operates as a solo studio project, plans are already in motion to expand into a full live lineup. Musicians are being sought to complete the formation, including lead guitar, bass, and drums, for future stage domination. For now, the focus is clear. The music speaks first.

Dime GuitarZ Launches as the Exclusive Home of Official Dimebag Darrell Guitars In Dime We Trust Announces Dime GuitarZ: Continuing the Legacy of Dimebag Darrell The legacy of legendary Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell is entering an exciting new chapter with the launch of Dime GuitarZ, the exclusive home of officially licensed Dimebag Darrell guitars. Available now at dimeguitarz.com, the new venture brings together two of the most important figures connected to Dime's guitar legacy: renowned guitar designer and builder Dean Zelinsky and Rita Haney, Dimebag's longtime partner and steward of his legacy. The mission behind Dime GuitarZ is clear: to create the guitars Dimebag Darrell would be playing today while honoring the innovations, designs, and spirit that made him one of the most influential guitarists in heavy metal history. Rita Haney: Preserving Dimebag Darrell's True Guitar Legacy According to Rita Haney, there has long been confusion surrounding Dimebag Darrell's relationship with guitar manufacturers following his tragic passing in December 2004. "The mission is simple. To build the guitars Dimebag Darrell would be playing today," says Haney. "Dean Zelinsky built the beloved guitars he played, including the Dean From Hell. That is who Dime wanted building his guitars." Haney emphasizes that Dime's relationship was with Dean Zelinsky himself, not with later iterations of the company that emerged after Dime's death. Through Dime GuitarZ, she aims to ensure that fans and players receive instruments built according to Dimebag's original vision and specifications. Grady "Dragon" Champion Joins the Dime GuitarZ Team Another key figure involved in the project is Grady "Dragon" Champion, one of Dimebag Darrell's closest friends and longtime guitar technician. Champion spent years working directly with Dime, helping shape the legendary guitarist's sound and understanding firsthand what made his instruments unique. "What can I say about my passion for all things Dime," Champion explains. "He brought me into his world, taught me everything he liked and everything his sound was about. It all started with the guitars." His involvement ensures that the feel, playability, and performance characteristics that Dime demanded from his instruments remain at the heart of every Dime GuitarZ model. The Return of the Legendary Dimebag Culprit Guitar The first models being introduced under the Dime GuitarZ banner are the highly sought-after Culprit guitars, one of Dimebag Darrell's earliest original guitar designs. Although originally produced in limited numbers, the Culprit became a cult favorite among collectors and dedicated Dime fans. Now, the design returns with modern upgrades while maintaining the aggressive aesthetic and unmistakable identity that helped establish Dime as a guitar designer. New Culprit models will be available in several iconic Dimebag Darrell-inspired finishes, including: Dime Slime Dime Bolt Black Jack Additional signature graphics and custom designs Dean Zelinsky Technology Powers the New Dime GuitarZ Line The USA-built Culprit models feature several of Dean Zelinsky's most innovative technologies. Z-Glide Neck Technology One standout feature is Zelinsky's patented Z-Glide Neck, a laser-engineered process designed to dramatically reduce friction while playing. As Zelinsky explains: "We remove 72% of the neck's surface. Your hand only comes in contact with 28%, the rest is air." The result is faster movement, smoother playability, and enhanced comfort for guitarists pushing their instruments to the limit. DimeBooster Circuit Every Dime GuitarZ Culprit will also include the innovative new DimeBooster Circuit. Activated through a push/pull tone control, the DimeBooster provides up to 15dB of clean boost instantly, giving players additional power and sustain without sacrificing clarity. One of the most unique aspects of the system is that it requires no traditional battery. Instead, the circuit uses rechargeable technology, with a 60-second charge via USB-C providing more than 20 hours of boosted playing time. For modern metal guitarists seeking flexibility and performance, the DimeBooster represents a significant advancement in onboard guitar electronics. Dean Zelinsky Reflects on His Friendship with Dimebag Darrell For Dean Zelinsky, the launch of Dime GuitarZ is more than a business venture. It is a deeply personal project rooted in decades of friendship and collaboration. "I've been fortunate to have a long and incredible career in the guitar business," Zelinsky says. "At this stage of my career, there is nothing I would rather be doing than building the Dime GuitarZ line." Zelinsky credits Dimebag Darrell with helping introduce his guitar designs to players around the world and remembers him as one of the most authentic and passionate musicians he ever worked with. "This project is all about continuing the legacy of one of the most influential guitar players who ever lived. If there's one thing I know for certain, Dime would never want us standing still." According to Zelinsky, Dimebag's spirit of innovation remains the driving force behind every design decision. Official Dimebag Darrell Guitars Available Now With the launch of Dime GuitarZ, fans now have a dedicated destination for officially licensed Dimebag Darrell guitars. The instruments are available directly through Dime GuitarZ, with European distribution through Thomann and additional retail partners joining worldwide. For collectors, players, and metal fans seeking authentic instruments built around Dimebag Darrell's original designs and vision, Dime GuitarZ represents a new era in preserving one of heavy metal's most celebrated guitar legacies. About Dime GuitarZ Dime GuitarZ is a collaboration between Dean Zelinsky and Rita Haney dedicated to building officially licensed Dimebag Darrell guitars. Combining innovative guitar technology, authentic design heritage, and direct input from those closest to Dime's career, the company aims to continue the evolution of Dimebag Darrell's guitar legacy for future generations of players.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE HUBRIS UNVEIL NIGHTMARISH ANIMATED LYRIC VIDEO FOR “LIGHTLESS LANTERN” FROM NEW ALBUM ACTS OF SEDITION Buffalo, NY — Underground black metal force Hubris have released a brand new animated lyric video for “Lightless Lantern,” taken from their recently unleashed full-length Acts of Sedition, out now worldwide. The track comes from what is already being called a modern underground statement piece, a relentless 51-plus minute barrage of extreme black metal fury that continues to push Hubris further into the upper ranks of American USBM intensity. Drawing comparisons to the uncompromising styles of Gorgoroth, 1349, and Tsjuder, the band’s sound remains razor sharp, violent, and unfiltered. “Lightless Lantern” is not just a lyric video in the traditional sense. It is a fully realized animated short film created by Daniel Oakes, an industry veteran known for his work on the long running animated series Archer. Built through months of collaboration between Oakes and Hubris songwriter Hellskald, the result is a cinematic descent into dystopian chaos that mirrors the song’s lyrical themes. The visual narrative plunges into a Nietzschean collapse of order, where humanity is stripped of illusion and replaced by something far more primal. As civilization burns under the weight of its own delusions, the imagery evolves into a direct visual extension of the Acts of Sedition cover art by Santiago Jamarillo of Triple Seis Design. Musically and visually, “Lightless Lantern” reinforces the central concept of the album: collapse, rebellion, and rebirth through destruction. Acts of Sedition is available now:https://truehubris.bandcamp.com/album/acts-of-sedition Production Credits Drums & guitars recorded at Select Sound, Buffalo, NY (engineered by Joe Leising)Bass recorded at Lichfiend’s home, Buffalo, NYVocals tracked by Dave Parkins (Chapel Hill, NC) with additional vocals recorded and engineered by HellskaldMixing by Dave Kaminsky, Studio Wormwood, Asheville, NCMastering by Ryan Williams, Augmented Audio, Los Angeles, CA All music and lyrics written and performed by Hubris For interviews, promo requests, or further information contact:zach@metaldevastationradio.com Watch the video:Lightless Lantern (Official Lyric Video) [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="HSh_eWob_Uw"]  Connect:  https://www.facebook.com/thetruehubrishttps://www.instagram.com/hubrisblackmetal/https://www.youtube.com/@hubrisblackmetal6441https://truehubris.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/2SnClGVoB05d32DjIO7cVrhttps://music.apple.com/us/artist/hubris/1704501305https://ampwall.com/u/hubris Contact: hellskald@gmail.com Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Elle Tea Announces New Album Travelling | A Journey Through Fantasy, Time, and Classic Hard Rock Florence, Italy's Elle Tea, the solo project of multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and illustrator Leonardo Trevisan, is set to captivate fans of classic hard rock and heavy metal with the release of the new album Travelling. Drawing inspiration from the golden era of late 1970s and early 1980s hard rock, progressive rock, and the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, Travelling delivers eight immersive tracks that blend fantasy storytelling, introspective lyricism, and melodic songwriting with a distinctly vintage sound. Fans of Praying Mantis, Ashbury, Blue Öyster Cult, Wytch Hazel, and early Manilla Road will find plenty to appreciate in Elle Tea's latest offering. Watch and listen here:[jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="gGgsknUoXuc"] Since launching the project in 2023, Leonardo Trevisan has independently crafted a unique musical and visual world through releases including Fate Is At My Side (2023), The Past From Which I Ran (2024), and the EP Into The Fall (2025). Rooted in a deep admiration for classic fantasy literature and the iconic artwork of Roger Dean, Rodney Matthews, and Michael Whelan, Elle Tea embraces the aesthetic spirit that helped define both progressive rock and the NWOBHM movement. The album's central themes explore the passage of time, personal transformation, and journeys into other realms where identity dissolves into the endless cycles of life and the universe. While not a strict concept album, songs such as the title track "Travelling," "Into The Fall," and "Vanish" are connected by an atmosphere of melancholy, reflection, and surrender to forces beyond one's control. Further enhancing the experience, each of the album's eight tracks is accompanied by an original hand-crafted illustration created by Trevisan using traditional mixed media techniques, primarily watercolor and pencil. These visual pieces provide additional narrative depth and context, expanding the album's immersive fantasy world. Musically, Travelling intentionally distances itself from modern hard rock and metal production trends. Instead, it embraces the warmth, dynamics, and emotional depth of classic recordings, balancing clean, atmospheric passages with powerful heavy rock moments while maintaining a strong melodic foundation throughout.
