FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE LOST LEGACY’S “IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM” MARKS A RESILIENT RETURN TO POWER METAL’S FRONTLINES Despite Setbacks, the Band Roars Back with New Performances and Album Plans Streaming: https://linktr.ee/lostlegacyny New York-based Power Metal band Lost Legacy has weathered storms that would sideline lesser bands. Their 2020 release, In the Name of Freedom—out now via Pure Steel Records—landed just days before the global pandemic shut the world down. What was supposed to be a breakthrough moment, including a tour with DORO and others, was suddenly derailed. “Everything changed overnight,” recalls Jorge Pulido, the band’s guitarist and executive producer of the album. “It was crushing. But we never gave up.” Since 2022, Lost Legacy has fought to reignite their momentum. Navigating lineup changes and a struggling live music scene, they’ve been selective about appearances. A recent high-profile performance opening for Metal Allegiance at the House of Blues in Anaheim on January 23, 2025, marked a bold return—and a triumph over adversity. Capturing Chaos: The Live Video That Almost Wasn’t Intent on documenting the Anaheim show in all its glory, the band came equipped with five cameras—three shooting in stunning 4K. But fate had other plans. “One camera broke on the way, and another crashed mid-show,” Pulido explains. The real heartbreak came when the venue's audio engineer accidentally stopped recording the direct board audio. With no professional soundboard track to fall back on, the band had to improvise—crafting a final mix using only the audio captured by their remaining camera microphones. “It wasn’t ideal,” says Pulido. “But we blended the raw mic feeds, EQ’d everything, and made it work. The result isn’t perfect—but it’s honest. It captures what we lived through that night.” This raw, DIY footage not only showcases the band’s talent but their unwavering commitment to their craft—regardless of the odds. About the Album In the Name of Freedom was produced, mixed, and mastered by Tom Tullota, with executive production by Jorge Pulido. The album delivers a fist-pumping blend of heavy riffs and melodic storytelling, inspired by the spirit of liberty and the cost of defending it. Fans of Metal Church, Fates Warning, Metal Allegiance, and Testament will find plenty to love. What’s Next for Lost Legacy? With a new album slated for release this fall and plans for more shows on the horizon, Lost Legacy is poised for a powerful comeback. The band is currently booking interviews and looking to reconnect with old fans—and make plenty of new ones.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE PROJECT BC UNLEASHES POWERFUL THIRD EP — “THE THIRD” OUT NOW ALBUQUERQUE, NM – Towering House Productions proudly announces the release of “The Third,” the newest EP from Indigenous metal force Project BC, available now on all streaming platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/projectbc/the-third With a sound forged in resilience and sharpened by experience, The Third showcases Project BC’s fiercest material to date. Drawing comparisons to Avatar, Lacuna Coil, and Lamb of God, the EP blends bone-crushing riffs with powerful lyrical themes and haunting melodies. The record’s standout single, “God of Everything,” is already turning heads with its raw intensity and uncompromising spirit. Produced independently by Project BC and engineered/mixed/mastered by Santino Billie, The Third is the culmination of years of perseverance, passion, and creative growth. From the early success of their debut single “One Last Time” — which tackled domestic violence and survival — to the setbacks caused by the global pandemic and personal health struggles, Project BC’s journey has been one of unyielding determination. “Every time we were forced to stop, we came back stronger,” says frontwoman and manager Masheyti Romero. “This record is the sound of our return — loud, unapologetic, and more focused than ever.” Following their 2023 EP Black, which expanded their fanbase and earned radio play across stations such as Rez-olution Radio, KUNM, KMHA, and Overdrive KYAY, The Third marks a new chapter for the Albuquerque-based metal outfit. With over 50 shows in 8 states under their belt, including support slots for In Flames and Havok, the band is now setting its sights on an aggressive 2025 tour schedule — including a June appearance with Adema at the iconic Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles. Outside the studio and the stage, Project BC also gives back through their Cat-alyst Music Festival, which highlights Indigenous and New Mexico-local acts. “If we can help at least one band get to that next step and not have them give up on their dreams, that's what we want to do,” the band affirms. Project BC’s The Third is more than a new release — it’s a battle cry for the underrepresented, a celebration of survival, and a bold step forward for Native metal.

Extreme metal juggernauts AUTUMN LIES BURIED return with the pulverizing second single “Told Off Witta Sawed Off”, available everywhere May 6, 2025 via Exitus Stratagem Records. The explosive track follows the success of the first single and music video “Debt Of Silence”, and continues building anticipation for the band’s upcoming EP Mob Mentality, due out June 6. 🎧 Stream “Told Off Witta Sawed Off”:https://hypeddit.com/autumnliesburied/toldoffwithasawedoff 📀 Pre-save EP: https://hypeddit.com/autumnliesburied/mobmentality🎥 Watch “Debt Of Silence” video: [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="pe7P2jiNHKg"] Featuring Dustin Jamaal Mitchell of Filth, “Told Off Witta Sawed Off” is a no-holds-barred anthem for confronting fake bravado and performative hostility. Vocalist Kaelin Wilkins explains: “This is an anthem for those who run their mouths but never put their words to action. How many times has someone run their mouth from safety but never held the same energy when they see you in public? The only thing we want from those plotting our downfall is a whole lotta ‘leave me alone. Or else…’” Kaelin’s intense vocal range shines once again as he shifts between rap-infused cadences and guttural chaos, leaning into the emotional energy of each track. Mob Mentality pushes the limits of genre, fusing elements of slam, mathcore, hardcore, hip hop, and deathcore—what the band calls “a beating with a cinder block.” It’s a defiant, cathartic outcry against systemic injustice and performative politics. Fans of Whitechapel, Suicide Silence, Tech N9ne, and The Acacia Strain take note—this is a sonic barrage with purpose.

Image by Joshua Woroniecki from Pixabay Live cam platforms can be captivating, personal, and surprisingly easy to overspend on. What starts as a casual scroll can quickly turn into a flurry of tokens, tips, and private shows—all while you lose track of how much you’ve actually spent. The key to enjoying these platforms without regret isn’t cutting yourself off—it’s learning how to spend smarter, not harder. Whether you’re new to the scene or a longtime fan, there are a few practical ways to stretch your dollar while still enjoying a genuine connection and quality content. Set a Monthly Budget Before You Ever Log In Impulse spending is the number-one way users end up regretting their time on cam platforms. Without clear limits, it’s easy to keep tipping in the heat of the moment or go private with someone because you don’t want the attention to drop off. That’s why setting your boundaries up front is your strongest move. Make Your Budget Feel Real Decide on a number before you ever enter a chatroom Break that number down by week or session so you know what’s okay to spend Treat it like going out for entertainment—not an investment or competition Use Prepaid Payment Options Load your budget into a prepaid card or a separate account That creates a natural limit and keeps you from accidentally dipping into your real-life expenses It also makes you more mindful of every tip or token you send Watch for Subscription Traps Some platforms sneak recurring charges into premium features Double-check what you’re signing up for, and set reminders to cancel anything you don’t use If a performer offers exclusive content off-platform, clarify the terms before joining Be Strategic With Tips and Tokens Tipping is part of the culture, but not all tips have the same return. Some get you noticed. Others unlock content. The key is knowing where your money actually does something—and where it’s just noise. Tip With Purpose, Not Panic Performers notice thoughtful, intentional tippers more than ones who spam small amounts Don’t feel pressured to “keep up” with other viewers unless you’re genuinely enjoying the moment Consider saving for a single larger tip instead of sprinkling small ones across many streams Private Shows vs. Public Rooms Public shows let you interact with performers for less money Private shows are more expensive, but offer one-on-one time—use them when it matters, not just on impulse Group shows can be a solid middle ground if you want interaction without the full price Use Site Events and Promotions Some platforms offer bonus token events, loyalty rewards, or discounted private rates Save your bigger spends for those windows Following performers on social media can alert you to deals they might offer directly Build Better Connections Without Spending More It’s easy to assume that money is the only way to be noticed or valued on cam platforms. But often, performers remember the viewer who made them laugh, who stayed respectful, or who engaged in genuine conversation. Emotional value doesn’t always cost money—and those connections often enhance the experience. Be a Memorable Regular Show up regularly for the same performer instead of jumping around Mention callbacks to past shows, inside jokes, or shared conversations Performers appreciate familiarity—and may reward it with attention or small perks Ask Before You Buy Want a custom video, special request, or one-on-one chat? Ask about pricing up front Many performers have menus or clear boundaries—they’ll respect you more if you respect those lines Surprises are great; misunderstandings aren’t Give Compliments That Matter A sincere comment goes further than a flurry of generic praise Mention effort, creativity, or personality—not just appearance You might be surprised how far that can go compared to a token tip Final Thought Live cam platforms are meant to be fun, personal, and exciting. But like any entertainment experience, the thrill fades fast if it leaves your wallet empty or your boundaries crossed. Spending smart doesn’t mean spending less—it means getting more of what you actually want from the time and money you put in. With a little planning, clear limits, and intentional interactions, you can enjoy the platform, support your favorite performers, and walk away without that “what did I just do?” feeling. That’s real value. And it lasts a whole lot longer than a moment in chat. Less

Image by Erin Stone from Pixabay THCV edibles are gaining attention for their unique effects, setting them apart from traditional THC-infused products. Unlike regular THC, which is known for its strong psychoactive effects and sedative properties, THCV offers a different experience. Often referred to as the "diet weed" cannabinoid, THCV is associated with increased energy, appetite suppression, and potential therapeutic benefits. As the cannabis industry continues to expand, understanding what makes THCV edibles unique can help consumers make informed choices. What is THCV and How Does it Differ from THC? THCV, or tetrahydrocannabivarin, is a cannabinoid found in certain cannabis strains, particularly landrace sativas. While it shares some structural similarities with THC, its effects are quite distinct. Psychoactive Properties and Effects Unlike THC, which produces strong intoxicating effects, THCV has a milder, shorter-lasting high when consumed in moderate doses. At low doses, THCV is non-psychoactive and may enhance focus and energy. At higher doses, it produces a clear-headed, stimulating high rather than the heavy sedation associated with THC. THCV's effects are often described as uplifting and motivational, making it ideal for daytime use. For consumers looking to avoid the intense couch-lock effect of traditional THC, THCV edibles provide a more functional experience. Appetite Suppression vs. Munchies One of THCV's most well-known effects is appetite suppression, which is the opposite of THC's munchies-inducing properties. Research suggests that THCV blocks CB1 receptors, reducing hunger signals. Unlike THC edibles, which often increase cravings for food, THCV may help curb appetite and support weight management. This makes THCV-infused edibles appealing for those looking for cannabis benefits without increased food intake. For individuals interested in weight-conscious cannabis consumption, THCV presents a unique alternative. Key Benefits of THCV Edibles THCV has shown promising potential in various areas, making it an exciting cannabinoid for both recreational and medicinal users. Increased Energy and Mental Clarity THCV edibles are often associated with a boost in alertness and mental sharpness. Many users report feeling more focused and productive, making THCV a great choice for daytime use. Unlike THC, which can cause drowsiness, THCV may increase energy levels and motivation. These stimulating effects make it popular among individuals seeking an alternative to caffeine or other stimulants. For those looking to stay engaged and active while enjoying cannabis, THCV edibles offer a compelling option. Potential for Blood Sugar Regulation Early research suggests that THCV may have blood sugar-stabilizing properties, which could benefit individuals with metabolic concerns. Some studies indicate that THCV may help regulate glucose levels and insulin sensitivity. While research is still in its early stages, these findings could make THCV a valuable cannabinoid for managing diabetes and metabolic disorders. Edibles infused with THCV may offer an alternative wellness option for individuals looking to support metabolic health. Although more studies are needed, THCV's potential for blood sugar regulation is a promising area of exploration. Neuroprotective and Anti-Inflammatory Effects THCV has been studied for its possible neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory properties, which could have significant therapeutic applications. Preliminary research suggests that THCV may help protect brain function and reduce inflammation in neurological conditions. It has been explored for potential benefits in conditions such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. These effects make THCV an exciting cannabinoid for long-term brain health and cognitive support. While research is ongoing, these findings highlight THCV's potential as more than just a recreational cannabinoid. Choosing the Right THCV Edible With the rise of THCV-infused edibles, it's important to know what to look for to ensure a quality product. Understanding Potency and Dosage THCV is often found in lower concentrations than THC, so dosages may vary significantly. Low doses (2-5mg) may provide mild stimulation without noticeable psychoactive effects. Moderate doses (5-10mg) can enhance focus, alertness, and motivation. Higher doses (10mg+) may produce more noticeable effects, though the high remains clear-headed compared to THC. Since THCV edibles can affect individuals differently, starting with a low dose and increasing gradually is the best approach. Checking for Full-Spectrum vs. Isolated THCV THCV is often paired with other cannabinoids to enhance its effects. Full-spectrum products contain THCV along with other cannabinoids and terpenes, creating an entourage effect that may enhance its benefits. Isolated THCV products focus purely on THCV, providing a controlled and specific experience. Choosing between full-spectrum and isolate formulations depends on personal preference and desired effects. Finding Reputable Brands and Lab-Tested Products Because THCV is still a niche cannabinoid, quality control is essential when purchasing edibles. Look for brands that provide third-party lab testing to confirm THCV content and purity. Avoid products that make exaggerated claims without scientific backing. Check for clean ingredients and transparent labeling to ensure a safe and effective edible. Selecting trusted manufacturers with lab-verified THCV content ensures a reliable and authentic experience. Final Thoughts THCV edibles offer a unique experience, providing increased energy, appetite suppression, and potential therapeutic benefits without the intense sedation of THC. Whether for focus, wellness, or recreational use, these edibles are shaping the future of cannabis consumption. As research continues, THCV's distinct properties make it an exciting addition to the expanding world of cannabinoids. Less
