Photo Credit: Simon Dunkerley NOX PULSO Crowned Metal Devastation Radio’s Band of the Month with 70,296 Votes — New Single ‘Plague Town’ Drops Sept 5, Album ‘TWO’ Follows Oct 3 via Null Void Records Industrial-electro disruptors NOX PULSO have officially seized the throne as Metal Devastation Radio’s Band of the Month for August 2025, crushing the competition with a staggering 70,296 fan votes in last month’s Battle of the Bands. This landslide victory not only cements their status as one of the underground’s most explosive rising acts, but also sets the stage for a massive autumn rollout—starting with the release of new single ‘Plague Town’ on September 5, followed by their sophomore album ‘TWO’ on October 3, both via Null Void Records. For fans of Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, and Combichrist, NOX PULSO delivers a brutal blend of industrial metal and electronic chaos that’s impossible to ignore. Their sound? “Heavy dance music,” they say—punishing rhythms, infectious hooks, and venomous dual vocals colliding in pure sonic warfare. Formed in the shadow of the pandemic by electronic mastermind Matt McIvor (aka ItIAM of New Retro Wave fame) and industrial metal provocateur Duncan Williams (TotalRock Radio), NOX PULSO embodies conflict in the best way. “It’s almost impossible working with him,” McIvor admits of Williams. “So I end up managing the sound of a warzone between the two of us. That said, Plague Town is less of a fight, and more of a musical exorcism.” Their 2023 debut Songs from the Wastelands earned them festival spots at Depravation, Resistanz, and Hard Rock Hell, alongside shows with Harpy, Aesthetic Perfection, and Raging Speedhorn. With their fanbase growing fast, the band is set to headline the inaugural Oblivion Festival in Glasgow on September 25, just days before TWO drops. Lisa Harris of Null Void Records adds, “We’ve known both Matt and Duncan from previous releases, but the idea of them collaborating? That was wild. When we heard what they were making, we immediately committed to a full album rollout with physical formats first—because their fans want something real, something they can hold. The debut sold out. We expect TWO will go even faster.” NOX PULSO🎛 Matt McIvor – Electronics, Vocals🎸 Duncan Williams – Guitar, Vocals Label: Null Void RecordsFFO: Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails, The Prodigy, Combichrist🏆 Metal Devastation Radio Band of the Month – August 2025📊 Votes: 70,296 SiN by Nox Pulso Less

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Friday Night Metal Devastation: Signs of the Swarm and Quiescent Mantis Bring the Heat on The Zach Moonshine Show This past Friday night, The Zach Moonshine Show on Metal Devastation Radio delivered a punishing double-feature of interviews and music, spotlighting two of the heaviest bands crushing the underground right now: Signs of the Swarm and Quiescent Mantis. Brought to you by the upcoming Tennessee Metal Devastation Music Fest, the show was a full-force barrage of deathcore, chaos, stories from the road, and raw passion for heavy music. Signs of the Swarm: Bobby Crow Talks Truth, Tour, and Total Devastation First up was Bobby Crow, drummer of Signs of the Swarm, who gave fans a deep look into the band’s next chapter. With their new album To Rid Myself of Truth dropping August 22nd via Century Media Records, Bobby shared the band’s mindset going into the release: “We’re just here to make fun heavy music and have a good time… There’s a little something for just about everybody if you like heavy shit!” The new record features blistering guest appearances by Will Ramos (Lorna Shore), Phil Bozeman (Whitechapel), Jack Murray (156/Silence), and Johnny Crowder (Prison), with themes touching on frontman Dave’s personal struggles—including his battle with a degenerative eye disease, featured in the haunting track A Cloud of Retinas. “He’s opening up more than ever… It’s about trying to speak your truth but still make it relatable and heavy as hell.” From their massive touring schedule to sampling car trunks and squeaky drum stools for sonic mayhem, Signs of the Swarm proves they’re not just heavy—they're thoughtful, driven, and still evolving. Quiescent Mantis: Return to the Swarm at Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest Following Bobby’s appearance, Tennessee’s own Quiescent Mantis jumped on the air to talk about their return to the Metal Devastation Music Fest—and they’re not holding back. “We’re coming back with a vengeance,” declared Chris. “We’re not leaving disappointed like last year—we’re putting our foot down so everybody knows how to say Quiescent Mantis.” Known for their outrageous on-stage antics—including crowd surfing on blow-up mattresses—the band promised even more surprises this time around. But they’re also evolving musically, incorporating in-ear monitors and writing their second album, the follow-up to Exodus Strategem. The band reflected on last year’s set, calling it a standout moment: “Getting the crowd that involved that early… just seeing that reaction around noon, it was incredible. And playing guest vocals with Autumn Lies Buried and crowd surfing—it was chaos in the best way.” Inspired by sci-fi monsters and creature flicks like Starship Troopers and King Kong, Quiescent Mantis is all about world-building, live energy, and pure underground grit. A Unified Underground Scene What tied both interviews together was a shared sense of community. Whether it’s Bobby talking about bringing friends onto tracks or Chris describing spontaneous collaborations on stage, both bands emphasized the importance of connection in today’s metal scene. “We’re all just a bunch of misfits doing the thing,” said Jordan of Quiescent Mantis.“This scene now is a lot healthier than it used to be… It’s about love of music and lifting each other up,” Bobby echoed. Don’t Miss What’s Coming Next With Signs of the Swarm gearing up to release one of the year's most anticipated deathcore albums, and Quiescent Mantis set to decimate the Tennessee Metal Devastation Fest once again, Friday night’s show was more than just interviews—it was a preview of destruction to come.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASEAugust 1, 2025 LEAFBLOWER UNVEILS CRUSHING NEW ALBUM LOW HEAVEN Out Now via Dark Sails Entertainment 🎧 Listen & Purchase: https://leafbloweratl.bandcamp.com/ ATLANTA, GA — Rising from the smoldering underground of Atlanta’s doom scene, Leafblower returns with their full-length debut album Low Heaven, available now via Dark Sails Entertainment. With influences drawn from genre-defining acts like Neurosis, Cult of Luna, and Isis, Low Heaven is a towering monument of sorrow, grit, and transcendent heaviness. Formed in the summer of 2020, when the world was in lockdown and mortality loomed large, Leafblower came together not just to make music—but to survive. That urgency is deeply embedded in their DNA, and it echoes throughout Low Heaven. The album showcases the band's signature sound: deliberate, mid-tempo doom riffing paired with emotionally raw and cathartic vocal performances by frontman Tim Jones. While their debut EP introduced the world to their instrumental foundation, Low Heaven pushes their sonic boundaries further—merging crushing heaviness with moments of mournful reflection and glimmers of hope. The album was recorded, mixed, and produced by Kellan Scalf, with mastering by Chris Melillo, ensuring a visceral listening experience that captures both the weight and depth of the band’s vision. Since their debut, Leafblower has steadily cultivated a loyal following throughout Atlanta’s underground music scene. With Low Heaven, they cement their place as a vital force in modern doom.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASELUCIOUS FOX ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM “THE DEATH AND LIFE OF THE GREAT LAKES”First Single “Michigan” Out July 31 – Full Album Drops September 12, 2025 Kalamazoo, MI — Maximalist instrumental duo Lucius Fox are set to release their most ambitious and emotionally resonant work to date. Their upcoming album, The Death and Life of the Great Lakes, arrives September 12, 2025, with the first single “Michigan” out now via DistroKid:👉 https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/luciusfox/michigan👉https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/luciusfox/the-death-and-life-of-the-great-lakes Blending elements of prog metal, math rock, post rock, and beyond, Lucius Fox delivers an intense, intricate, and deeply melodic sonic journey for fans of Russian Circles, And So I Watch You From Afar, and Animals as Leaders. ABOUT THE ALBUM The Death and Life of the Great Lakes is a 45-minute instrumental exploration of place, grief, and resilience, built around a powerful five-song suite that sonically interprets each of the Great Lakes. The suite is framed by two bookending compositions that reflect on the passing of guitarist/synthesist Jeremy Cronk’s mother in the summer of 2024, giving the album a deeply personal emotional weight. “This album is a dynamic, melodic, abrasive, and massive piece of music,” shares Cronk. “It functions best when digested in its entirety. We aimed to capture the intensity and feel of our live performances — and are confident we achieved just that.” ABOUT THE BAND Formed in Kalamazoo, Michigan, Lucius Fox is the collaborative vision of Jeremy Cronk (guitar/synths) and Paul Drake Jr. (drums). Despite being just a duo, they summon a colossal wall of sound through looping, dual instrumentation, complex arrangements, and raw energy. Their sound traverses a wide spectrum — from Americana to black metal — creating an experience that is both technically virtuosic and emotionally stirring.
