FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE TRIVAN Unleashes New Single “Blackened Heart's Pledge” – A Hymn of Defiance, Depth, and Darkness Genre: Black MetalFFO: IMMORTAL, DARK FUNERAL, MARDUKLabel: IndependentProduced, mixed & recorded by: Dave Kaminsky, Studio WormwoodMastered by: Ryan Williams Streaming on everything: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/trivan1/blackened-hearts-pledge  Emerging from the shadows of spiritual rebellion and existential anguish, Croatian black metal band TRIVAN announces the release of their latest single, “Blackened Heart's Pledge”, dropping March 23, 2025. Crafted in the fires of Studio Wormwood, this track is a declaration of war against superficiality, conformity, and spiritual decay. Trivan, formed in 2018 by Vanja Šantak and Ivan Bertović, rose from obscurity with a vision that bridges dark sonic landscapes and intellectual provocation. Though the pandemic halted their momentum, the band reemerged stronger, with a refined lineup and deeper philosophical roots. Now joined by vocalist Tomislav Žiljak, drummer Robert Vlašić, and rhythm guitarist Marin Buljan, Trivan blends furious blast beats and icy riffs with lyrical themes of existential crises, spiritual defiance, and inner transformation. “Blackened Heart’s Pledge” is not just a song—it’s a spiritual revolt. Anchored in the band’s unique philosophy of Trivanism, the single invites listeners into a metaphysical journey guided by symbols of strength, darkness, and self-liberation. The black heart, key, spiral, and black fae are not mere symbols—they are totems of resistance, courage, and personal truth. “If seeking truth is heresy, then our stance is sacred rebellion.” – Trivan Trivanism: The Philosophy Behind the Flame At the heart of Trivan lies a conceptual mythos. “Trivan” fuses trivial and vanquish, evoking the band’s mission to destroy superficiality and awaken the soul. Their spiritual aesthetic—rooted in nature, free thought, sacred feminine energy, and mystical symbolism—sets them apart from the orthodox black metal fold. Fans of black metal’s most cold and unrelenting sounds will find sanctuary in Trivan’s music—but they’ll also find a challenge to dig deeper. This isn’t nihilism for its own sake—it’s a call to arms for those who refuse silence. About the Band Born in Croatia and forged in the crucible of spiritual unrest and artistic discipline, Trivan aims to become a defining force in the evolution of black metal. Their mission is not just to perform, but to provoke, awaken, and inspire a generation to question, doubt, and seek.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Deteriorot Unleashes Definitive Version of In Ancient Beliefs: Dual Cover Art + Restored 2025 Remaster Now Available Cult death metal legends Deteriorot have just re-released their seminal album In Ancient Beliefs with a long-overdue restoration and remaster. This new edition, titled In Ancient Beliefs (Dual Cover Art - Original 2001 and 2016 + 2025 Remastered), is now available and marks the first time fans can hear the album in its true original audio form. Upon its initial release in 2001, the album was mistakenly submitted by the engineer in a higher pitch, resulting in guitar tones presented in C tuning—a full step above the intended B tuning. This 2025 edition restores the original pitch and tonal brutality as Deteriorot always intended, giving longtime fans and new listeners the most authentic experience of this underground masterpiece to date. Alongside the sonically restored and expertly remastered 2025 audio, this release also features a collector’s dream: dual cover art. For the first time since 2001, the original album artwork is available on CD, having been out of print for over two decades. The CD booklet also includes the 2016 updated cover art by the renowned Juanjo Castellano, both of which are interchangeable on the CD front cover. Whether you're rediscovering the album or diving in for the first time, this release cements In Ancient Beliefs as a cornerstone of American death metal history—raw, atmospheric, and now truer than ever to the band’s original vision. 🔗 Check it out now: https://deteriorot.bandcamp.com/album/in-ancient-beliefs-dual-cover-art-original-2001-and-2016-2025-remastered For press inquiries, interviews, or promo copies, contact: zach@metaldevastationradio.com  Follow the band at these links: https://allmylinks.com/deteriorothttps://deteriorot.bandcamp.comhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/5tGVYHZ1750EON6ytzsTTh Less

Photo Credit: Third Eye Visuals Metal juggernauts PARKWAY DRIVE are back with a vengeance, releasing their monumental new single "Sacred" today — a sonic juggernaut that fuses the band’s signature intensity with a surge of hope and empowerment. It’s the first new music from the Australian powerhouse since their acclaimed 2022 full-length, Darker Still, and sets the stage for what promises to be a career-defining year. Accompanied by a visually arresting video directed by Third Eye Visuals, “Sacred” offers a fierce rallying cry against negativity and hopelessness. Vocalist Winston McCall describes the track as “an anthemic wrecking ball of positive energy”, pushing back against the societal pressures that strip away our individuality. “We sell the unique parts of us most precious just to buy back manufactured pieces of self in order that we may feel whole again,” he says. “‘Sacred’ is our identity. ‘Sacred’ is our time. Never lose sight and never lose hope.” Streaming everywhere here: https://parkwaydrive.ffm.to/sacred [jrEmbed module="jrYouTube" youtube_id="8v4oxxvs8iY"] A Year of Monumental Milestones With “Sacred” now unleashed, PARKWAY DRIVE is gearing up for a landmark run of global shows, beginning with a sold-out symphonic performance at the Sydney Opera House this June — a majestic celebration of the band’s 20-year legacy. From there, the band will head stateside to co-headline the Summer of Loud 2025 tour across the U.S., performing some of the largest North American venues of their career. But the biggest moment comes this autumn, as PARKWAY DRIVE kicks off their 20 Year Anniversary UK & EU Arena Tour. Set to be the band’s most ambitious production yet, this colossal run will showcase PARKWAY DRIVE at the height of their creative and live power.
