With zero intention of playing it safe, ENEMY INSIDE return with their explosive new single “R.I.P.“, a track that doesn’t just close a chapter, it sets the whole damn book on fire.

“R.I.P.” is at its core about letting go, burying what no longer serves you, and moving on with clarity and intent. Armed with razor-edged riffs, industrial textures, and anthemic hooks, the band steps into a darker, heavier, and more uncompromising sonic identity than ever before — a bold evolution that signals the dawn of a new era.

“‘R.I.P.’might be one of the heaviest ENEMY INSIDE songs yet. A farewell to the past and everything that once tried to hold you back.” Evan K. & Nastassja Giulia

Driven by the mantra “you cannot control me,” the track cuts deep, lyrically and sonically. Lines like “used to be the echo now I am the scream” perfectly capture the band’s transformation: louder, sharper, and impossible to ignore.

Musically, “R.I.P.” pushes ENEMY INSIDE into heavier territory, combining their signature modern sound with heightened force, especially through more aggressive vocal delivery and powerful, cutting screams that underline the song’s emotional weight.

“R.I.P.” also arrives with a high-end, cinematic music video, continuing the band’s tradition of visually striking productions that amplify their sonic intensity.

Watch “R.I.P.” here: https://youtu.be/BvniEZ2fczs

The single offers a first glimpse into the band’s upcoming album (set for release via RPM), dialing their already uncompromising sound up to a whole new level of intensity.

To bring this new chapter to the stage, ENEMY INSIDE will join SMASH INTO PIECES as special guests on their April and May 2026 tour, delivering their high-energy live show across Europe.

This isn’t just a release.

It’s a burial. And ENEMY INSIDE are the ones holding the shovel.

ROCKLUST Unleash Debut Album Smoking Wheels – Classic Hard Rock, Pure Energy And a Promise Ready to Explode!

Posted in Hard Rock, hard rock albums, hard rock bands, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , on April 24, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Smoking Wheels, the debut album by ROCKLUST, is now available on all digital platforms via Volcano Records & Promotion.

After months of steady growth and increasing attention from industry insiders, the Italian band presents a record that perfectly captures their artistic identity, projecting it with confidence onto the international hard rock scene. Smoking Wheels is deeply rooted in classic hard rock, reinterpreted through a modern attitude and a clear vision. With sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and powerful, personality-driven vocals, the album builds a coherent and recognizable sonic journey, evoking the legacy of bands such as Whitesnake, Airbourne, and Scorpions without ever sounding derivative.

The ROCKLUST project quickly gained attention within the European underground scene thanks to a series of singles that, step by step, showcased the band’s different facets: “Smoking Wheels”, “Wild Crowd”, the power ballad “Child Spirit”, leading up to “Rocklust”, released just a few days ago, a true manifesto track that solidified the band’s position as one of the most exciting emerging acts in the European hard rock landscape.

This sequence of releases, supported by tangible media attention and strong traction across platforms, has placed Rocklust increasingly on the radar of industry professionals, building anticipation around a debut that now finally reaches its full expression.

Within Smoking Wheels, energy, attitude, and vision coexist: direct and powerful tracks alternate with more expansive and reflective moments, shaping a record that goes beyond a simple collection of songs and becomes a true artistic statement. An album that stands as a solid and self-aware starting point, capable of anticipating even more ambitious developments in the future.

Following the recent release of their first single “Galactic Rebirth”, Swedish melodic metal force PRIME CREATION present a brand new music video today. The band now unveil the title track of their forthcoming studio album, Souls Of The Fallen, offering a deeper glimpse into the sonic and thematic core of the record.

Slated for a release on June 26, 2026, via ROAR – A Division Of Reigning Phoenix Music.

With the premiere of the title track “Souls Of The Fallen”, PRIME CREATION dive into darker and more intense territory, both musically and lyrically. The song captures the emotional weight of conflict and resilience, combining powerful riffs with a cinematic atmosphere that reflects the album’s overarching narrative.

“This song is about being pushed into war when there’s no longer any choice but to fight back,” the band reveals. “It focuses on finding inner strength and courage while facing darkness, rage, and moral conflict on the battlefield. There’s a strong sense of honoring fallen allies and carrying their sacrifice forward. Overall, it’s about enduring the tide of war, struggling with its cost, and still pushing toward survival and eventual triumph.”

Souls Of The Fallen Track-list:
1. Galactic Rebirth
2. Ghosts
3. Blood Harvest
4. Souls of the Fallen
5. Alliance
6. Lost Legacy
7. Legends Never Die
8. Ashes of Trust

Formed in Sweden in 2015, PRIME CREATION quickly established themselves as a driving force in modern melodic heavy metal. Rising from the ashes of the power metal band MORIFADE, the group brought together skilled and experienced musicians with a clear vision: combine technical precision with powerful songwriting and a contemporary edge.

Following their self-titled debut in 2016 and the critically acclaimed Tears Of Rage (2019), the band continued to evolve, culminating in Tell Freedom I Said Hello (2023), which gained strong international attention.

Known for their dynamic live presence, PRIME CREATION have toured across Europe and shared stages with acts like MASTERPLAN and appeared at festivals alongside Europe and W.A.S.P

With Souls Of The Fallen, produced by Niels Nielsen (GHOST, IN FLAMES), the band take another decisive step forward, pushing their sound into darker, more progressive territory while staying true to their melodic roots.

EXTINCTION A.D. UNLEASHES New Single “Truth Or Consequences” Feat. BRIAN AUDLEY Of INCENDIARY

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , on April 22, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

High-octane crossover thrash powerhouse EXTINCTION A.D. officially release their blistering new single, “Truth or Consequences,” out today via M-Theory Audio to all digital download and streaming platforms. The track features a guest appearance by Brian Audley, guitarist of hardcore band INCENDIARY, providing visceral backup vocals that amplify the song’s aggressive energy.

Accompanied by a gritty new lyric video, “Truth or Consequences” delivers the band’s signature blend of thrash metal precision and New York hardcore intensity. The track explores themes of accountability and the inevitable fallout of societal deception, serving as a sonic wrecking ball for the modern era.

“Working with Brian was a no-brainer for us. Incendiary has always been a massive influence on the Long Island scene, and having his energy on this track took it to a completely different level of aggression,” says singer/guitarist Rick Jimenez. “This song veers hard into the ideology of more ground level stakes, which hearkens back to vibes of a former band of mine and Audley’s called Soldiers”.

Watch the “Truth and Consequences” Lyric Video HERE https://youtu.be/Kxij2SUtwWA?si=_7tviXorhmVSGLzu – featuring artwork by Chemical Messiah (Norma Jean, Teeth, Better Lovers)

EXTINCTION A.D. is currently hitting the road in support of the new music, with several upcoming festival appearances and regional dates:

  • 5/23 – No Problemo – New Bedford, MA
  • 5/24 – Cherry St. Station – Wallingford, CT
  • 6/27 – NJ Metalfest – Debonair Music Hall – Teaneck, NJ
  • 9/18 – Within These Walls 2026 – Phoenix, AZ @ The Nile (with Outta Pocket, Skin Ticket, Die Young, Will To Live)

Formed on Long Island, New York from the ashes of THIS IS HELL, EXTINCTION A.D. is a bridge between the worlds of ‘80s thrash metal and ‘90s hardcore. Known for their explosive live shows and unrelenting work ethic, the band continues to redefine the crossover genre for a new generation of metalheads.

Since 2013 the band has grown from raw underground roots to sharing stages with respected acts and carving out a distinct voice in the modern metal landscape forging a reputation for relentless crossover thrash infused with hardcore urgency and socially charged lyrics.

Earlier releases, on labels like Good Fight and Unique Leader, further showcased the band’s capability to merge fierce riff work with emotional and thematic depth. Their output has drawn comparisons to powerful East Coast thrash and hardcore hybrids, with critics praising their raw energy and ability to keep the classic thrash ethos alive while pushing it forward.

Thrashing just as hard as their predecessors, the band also break their surroundings down and deliver some heavy as hell riotous mosh; hitting that all-important sweet spot mixture of ‘80s thrash, ‘90s extreme metal and New York hardcore, all encompassed into one. Never afraid to speak their minds amidst a divisive world, EXTINCTION A.D. brings a decisive power to match their frenetic energy. The endgame is not just rebellion but revolution.

EXTINCTION A.D. is:
Rick Jimenez – vocals and guitar
Ian Cimaglia – lead guitar and vocals
Tom Wood – bass
Mike Sciulara – drums

PHANTOM Release New Single/Music Video “Summoned to Kill” – Taken From New Album Not Midnight Yet

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on April 22, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Watch the Video Summoned To Kill HERE

Pre-Order “Not Midnight Yet” HERE

Having made their back catalog available to a wider public via High Roller Records, Mexican speed and thrash metal force Phantom will release their third full-length assault Not Midnight Yet via the label. Recorded and mixed once again with Héctor “Northen” Ibarra at Nehtron Studios in Guadalajara and mastered by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony in Germany, this new album captures the band at their most technical and dynamic.

“I am never fully satisfied with my records and I try to push forward and expand our boundaries with every new material, without changing the soul and core of what Phantom stands for: Old School Heavy Metal,“ explains mastermind J.C. García. “This record puts together very well everything that we are. Because of that, I think this is a juggernaut of an album”.

Tracks such as ‘Hordes Of Bats’ deliver relentless speed and riff-driven aggression, while ‘Dracula’s Curse’ and the title track lean into powerful midtempo dynamics and complex structures. ‘The Pale Remains Of Time’ stands out as one of the album’s most ambitious moments, combining melodic vocals, clean guitar interludes and subtle progressive touches.

“I try to break the established formula and add more textures and layers while keeping the old school spirit,” J.C. states. “It’s a very personal record and a work I’m very proud of. I think this is the most solid Phantom record to date”. With Not Midnight Yet, Phantom sharpen their identity and deliver a powerful, atmospheric statement, proof that the night is far from over.

ALBUM TRACK-LIST:
01 Hordes of Bats 
02 Out of the Mausoleum 
03 Dracula’s Curse 
04 Morgenstern / Iron Strike 
05 The Pale Remains of Time 
06 Summoned to Kill

FANTOM – F.O.A.D. Records Present Remastered Edition of Cult Hungarian Black/Thrash Demo: Lucifer jelenj meg!

Posted in Black Metal, blackened thrash, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on April 21, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

A long-lost relic of Eastern European extreme metal resurfaces in definitive form, as F.O.A.D. Records present a newly remastered edition of FANTOM’s seminal demo material, now available on vinyl.

Remastered by Patrick Engel, this upgraded version captures the raw essence of one of Hungary’s earliest and most obscure black/thrash entities, often regarded as even darker and more sinister than their contemporaries.

This official reissue includes the band’s classic 1987 demo Lucifer jelenj meg!, now expanded with 7 additional tracks taken from a rare 1987 session not featured in the previous 2016 vinyl edition. The material has been re-transferred from a rediscovered tape – the best sounding source in existence – and meticulously remastered for vinyl by Patrick Engel at Temple Of Disharmony.

Drawing influence from bands such as Bathory, Possessed, Hellhammer, Venom and Slayer, FANTOM forged a primitive yet highly distinctive sound. Their songwriting is direct and unrefined, but steeped in a uniquely oppressive atmosphere of darkness, malevolence and occult tension.

The release comes as a silver laminated LP, including two inserts featuring lyrics, rare photographs and original artwork, preserving the band’s visual and sonic identity in full detail.

Watch the trailer HERE.

A crucial document of early black/thrash from behind the Iron Curtain: raw, obscure and essential for collectors and devotees of the genre’s darkest origins.

OFFICER LUCIFER Presents Video For “Swallow”

Posted in grunge, Hard Rock, Metal, metal bands, metal music, metal music videos, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 21, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Watch “Swallow” HERE: https://youtu.be/PSyZx01ATfE

OFFICER LUCIFER‘s transmission continues with the new single and video, “Swallow“. The track presents an uncompromising criticism of manufactured misinformation that is designed to confuse and disorientate perceptions of reality. “Swallow” follows the release of “Far From Right” featuring Page Hamilton of HELMET.

Guitarist David Coloma comments:
“‘Swallow’ is a direct confrontation with blind obedience. A track about submission, manipulation, and the systems that thrive when people stop thinking for themselves.”

OFFICER LUCIFER‘s sound is rooted in raw aggression born from a fusion of genres including metal, punk, grunge, and Latin rhythms. “Swallow” unleashes an anguished-fueled attack of gritty distortion, driving rhythms, and melodic vocal melodies performed by Yves Myr. The song exists within OFFICER LUCIFER‘s narrative world where engineered hybrids rise up against their human creators, mirroring real-world cycles of control, corruption, and resistance.

The lyrics for “Swallow” expose a cycle of bombardment; the continuous exposure to lies, biased perspectives and fear mongering. The song confronts the unquestioned consumption and ingestion of these fabrications that leads to a perspective of existence and selfhood that is an illusion. 

Watch “Swallow” HERE: https://youtu.be/PSyZx01ATfE

Drums and bass for “Swallow” were performed by Andrés Benavides and Pancho Tomaselli and recorded by Daniel Pasquel at La Increible Sociedad – Quito, Ecuador. The track was mixed by Jesse Gander at Rain City Recorders and mastered by Jamie King. 

About OFFICER LUCIFER:

OFFICER LUCIFER is a conceptual heavy music project built on confrontation, storytelling, and sonic collision. Drawing from metal, punk, grunge, and Latin rhythmic traditions, the project creates an aggressive and immersive sound that refuses genre boundaries.

Each release exists within a dystopian narrative framework where engineered half-animal, half-machine beings turn against their human creators, reflecting themes of control, resistance, and collapse in the modern world.

The project first revealed its universe with the debut single “Uncivil War”, establishing a raw and cinematic atmosphere where chaos is not background noise but the driving force. The music is designed to feel physical and urgent, pairing crushing instrumentation with a sense of narrative tension and unrest.

OFFICER LUCIFER operates as a collective rather than a traditional band. The core creative vision is shaped by Pancho Tomaselli, David Coloma, and Andrés Benavides, musicians whose international careers span diverse projects, scenes, and stages.

Their combined experience fuels a foundation that is both disciplined and volatile. As the project evolves, additional collaborators are brought in to expand the sound, introducing new textures, voices, and perspectives without diluting the central vision.

Beyond the music, OFFICER LUCIFER functions as a fully realized world. Band members are portrayed as hybrid soldiers assigned distinct military-style ranks, reinforcing a shared identity rooted in rebellion, unity, and defiance. The result is not just a collection of songs, but a living mythos designed to confront listeners and challenge complacency.

NECROCCULTUS – Mexican Death Metal Force Streams New Album: The Afterdeath Blackness

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 21, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Mexican death metal force NECROCCULTUS have made their upcoming full-length album The Afterdeath Blackness available for exclusive streaming in advance via Death Metal Promotion, offering listeners a complete immersion into their latest work ahead of its official release.

Set to be unleashed on April 24th, 2026, through Terror From Hell Records, the album stands as a powerful reaffirmation of the band’s unwavering dedication to pure and uncompromising death metal. Across its eight tracks, The Afterdeath Blackness delivers a carefully balanced blend of crushing riffs, intricate songwriting, and a dense, ritualistic atmosphere that reflects decades of underground commitment.

Stream the album at THIS LOCATION.

Proud standard-bearers of the purest and most solemn death metal tradition, NECROCCULTUS return with a record that both honors and revitalizes the genre’s roots. Forged through years of underground militancy and unwavering dedication to the death metal cause, the band channels its accumulated experience into an album that feels timeless yet fiercely alive. The Afterdeath Blackness stands as a statement of intent: death metal in its most essential, uncompromising form.

Track-list:

I. Intro (The Highest Sphere Of The Dead)
II. Slaughter Of Bestiality
III. Transition To The Tortuous Reign
IV. Unburied Hellish Presences
V. Dread Midnight Entities
VI. Multiform Devourer Of Souls
VII. Old Coffin Miasma
VIII. The Afterdeath Blackness

Across eight tracks, the album showcases everything that has defined NECROCCULTUS since their inception: massive riffs, carefully crafted songwriting and a dark atmosphere rooted in ritualistic heaviness. The compositions are elaborate without ever becoming self-indulgent, balancing complexity with raw impact and maintaining a natural flow that keeps the listener immersed from beginning to end. A constant sense of menace runs through the record, while a subtle veil of epic grandeur elevates the material beyond mere brutality.

Rather than chasing trends or modern gimmicks, NECROCCULTUS embrace the spirit of classic death metal, filtering it through decades of underground commitment and artistic growth. The result is an album that sounds both reverent and commanding, a work that speaks directly to devoted followers of the old ways while reaffirming the band’s place among today’s torchbearers of authentic death metal.

NECROCCULTUS was formed in 2003 as a five-piece band consisting of César (guitar), Omar (bass), Chago (guitar), Daniel (drums), and Isaías (growls). During the following three years, this original line-up recorded several releases, including the brutal full-length Encircling The Mysterious Necrorevelation (2005) for Sempiternal Productions (US), a 7” EP for Blood Harvest Records (Sweden), a three-way split CD with Sanctifier and Throneum on Warfuck Records (Colombia), and a split LP with Shub-Niggurath released by Iron Bonehead Productions (Germany).

In 2024, founding member Isaías H. reactivated NECROCCULTUS alongside a new line-up: Roel (guitar), Néstor (bass), Alex (guitar), Dante (drums), and Isaías (growls). After performing several live shows, the band entered the studio between July and October 2025 to record their new abominable full-length, The Afterdeath Blackness, featuring eight tracks of bestial, unholy death metal.

The Afterdeath Blackness was recorded, mixed and mastered at MAT Studio.
Vocals has been recorded at The Cave Home Studio, between July and October 2025.

BELUSHI SPEED BALL Concert Photo Gallery & Review – Cosmo Joe’s Atomic Lounge in Dayton, Ohio ~ April 17th, 2026

Posted in concerts, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music reviews, news with tags , , , , , , on April 20, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

BELUSHI SPEED BALL – Cosmo Joe’s Atomic Lounge, Dayton, Ohio – My buddy Troy and I took a short ride to downtown Dayton, Ohio to take in the fun from Kentucky’s very own BELUSHI SPEED BALL, last Friday night. Cosmo Joe’s Atomic Lounge became a welcomed free-for-all, with fans doing whatever the hell they wanted, to the crossover thrash of this good-times band.

No humans or animals were hurt in this joyous melee of airborne rolls of toilet paper, red solo cups, corrugated boxes, plastic bags and pool noodles. I did get involved myself and needed to be extra aware due to my terrible knees. I probably lost 50 calories, which is a plus. BELUSHI SPEED BALL kept their loyal fans (obviously) actively involved and elated to throw shit, non-stop, while laughs and smiles were contagious.

Vinny Castellano was a lively and charismatic frontman and should be proud of his band’s performance. We live during an unstable time right now and to be a part of this entertaining, comedic and thrash-tastic camaraderie is just what I have been yearning for! Metal be thy name – Stone

CHÄINFIST Release Debut Full-Length via Stormbound Records ~ Single “The Tomb Is Burning” Out Now With Music Video

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on April 19, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Members from black metal band Ondfødt and rock act Luponero deliver uncompromising hard rock in true old-school style

Born out of a shared and deep respect for acts such as Motörhead, Venom, and Sodom, Chäinfist is exactly what it sounds like: fast, noisy, heavy rock at its meanest.

Behind the project are two names well embedded in the Nordic extreme music underground. Trigger is the alias of Owe Inborr, founding member of the Finnish black metal outfit Ondfødt and noise punks Dispyt, the man behind Wolfthrone Studios, the Ostrobothnian recording studio that has become one of the most sought-after rooms in Nordic extreme music, having shaped records for the likes of …And Oceans, Kvaen, Azaghal, Moonlight Sorcery, Morbikon, and dozens more.

On the other side of the room, Bullet, aka Marco Luponero, the frontman known from Luponero and previously Terrorwheel and Altaria, handles lead vocals and shares instrument duties with Trigger across the entire record.

Bullet recalls: “I called up Trigger one day and said ‘look, I’m charting new territory with my own music, but I think it would be nice to have some sort of project where I could still channel my Motörhead-style spirit. Trigger understood the drill straight away, didn’t hesitate for a second.”

The two have collaborated on several of Luponero’s releases before, so the chemistry was already there. “We aren’t trying to reinvent anything with Chäinfist”, explains Trigger. “We’re just two guys who feel the need to play very fast and very loud. The songs basically write themselves.”

Listeners got a first taste of what the duo’s been up to in March of 2026, when Chäinfist released their eponymous first single. Now they drop the entire debut album, also titled Chäinfist. Leading the release is the single “The Tomb Is Burning“, accompanied by a music video.

Released by Finnish label Stormbound Records, Chäinfist is available to stream and is also available in two physical formats exclusively from Stormbound’s online store: the label’s proprietary Beatjaxx format and a strictly limited cassette run.

CHÄINFIST – TRACKLIST:

01. Chäinfist

LORD CRUCIFIER: F.O.A.D. Records Present Definitive Psychotic Thrash Archive From Cult Italian Expatriates

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 19, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

A cult chapter of Italian extreme metal history returns in its most complete form, as F.O.A.D. Records present the definitive archival collection of early material from LORD CRUCIFIER, Cataclism, now available as a gatefold 2xLP edition.

Cataclism – Gatefold 2xLP:

An 18-track descent into pure psychotic thrash metal, self-described by the band as “psychic metal,” capturing the unhinged vision of these Italian maniacs who relocated to England during the 1980s in search of total sonic extremity.

This comprehensive release brings together the band’s early demo legacy and unreleased material, fully remastered at Toxic Basement Studio:

  • Cataclism Demo (1985)
  • Myra’s Tape (1987)
  • Who Do You Trust (1989)
  • Unreleased 3-track rehearsal/demo (1990)

Across these recordings, LORD CRUCIFIER’s evolution is laid bare, from raw, dark thrash steeped in Venom and Celtic Frost influences to a more personal and deranged style defined by speed, fractured structures and psychotic riffing intensity.

Packaging:

The release comes as a deluxe gatefold 2xLP edition accompanied by a 24-page full-color booklet, designed by Rich M. Walker (The Metalchemist). The booklet includes rare photographs, flyers, scans of original demo tapes, and archival excerpts from underground magazines and fanzines.

A vital document of a band that turned chaos into identity, now unearthed and preserved by F.O.A.D. Records. Essential listening for devotees of extreme, unfiltered thrash in its most disturbed form.

BLACK SITES Release Personal New Single “Silent Wars”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on April 18, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Inspired by Robin Williams’ quote, “Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about,” BLACK SITES have released their new single “Silent Wars“. The single lands ahead of the forthcoming full length, For Eternity. The album is set to release independently on July 17, 2026.

BLACK SITES founder Mark Sugar comments on “Silent Wars”: “This track is one of my favorites. While there’s some blatant Jake E. Lee homages, a lot of the song was inspired by Americana artist Jason Isbell, of all people. The guitar bit at the very end was recorded as I wrote it, the take that’s on the record is the first time I ever played it.”

Heavy driving rock ‘n’ roll rhythms kick off “Silent Wars” with high energy. Drawing from traditional rock and metal styles, the track delivers a powerful message through moody verse arrangements and a catchy chorus hook. 

For Eternity was produced by Mark Sugar & Chris Black, recorded at I Can’t Believe It’s Not Mace Street Studios, with mixing and mastering by Dan Swano. Drums on For Eternity were recorded by Vladimir Ružičić at Kebac Recording Studio.

About BLACK SITES:
Based out of Chicago, IL, USA, BLACK SITES was founded in 2016, initially as a studio project, by vocalist and guitarist Mark Sugar. Sugar was later joined by members John Picillo (bass), Ryan Bruchert (guitar) and Chris Avgerin (drums). BLACK SITES combines old school metal with guitar harmonies, melodic/clean vocals and progressive elements, primarily drawing inspiration from the likes of VOIVOD, BLACK SABBATH, and KING’S X.

For Eternity Track Listing:

  1. When It Calls (5:09)
  2. Aquarius Betrayed (5:05)
  3. Above Soil, Beneath Sky (4:47)
  4. Giving Up The Ghost (6:43)
  5. Blades (For The Chosen Ones) (4:51)
  6. Silent Wars (4:51)
  7. When Prophecy Fails (5:49)
  8. Unanswered For Eternity (6:54)

BLACK SITES released their debut In Monochrome in 2017 (Mascot/Provogue Records), followed by Exile in 2019. 2021 saw the release of Untrue that was produced by Sanford Parker and awarded Record Of the Year by Dr. A.N. Grier at AngryMetalGuy.com. BLACK SITES ventured to The Promised Land? with their 2024 full-length that featured Tom Draper. (Ex-CARCASS/SPIRIT ADRIFT) on the track “Chasing Eternity”.

Now, in 2026, Mark Sugar is joined by new members Jose Salazar (bass), Lee Smith (guitar) and Chris Black (drums). The forthcoming album For Eternity is set to release independently on July 17, 2026.

APOSTLE Announces New Single “Illusion of Loss” From Upcoming Album: A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon

Posted in Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on April 18, 2026 by Metal Odyssey

Stream “Illusion of Loss” HERE: https://youtu.be/RMUghEYe1UM

APOSTLE unveils their latest single, “Illusion of Loss,” a dynamic and emotionally charged composition that offers a glimpse into the band’s forthcoming full-length album, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon, arriving June 5, 2026 via Terminus Hate City.

“Illusion of Loss” begins with a sharp, brief breath before an angular and moody guitar and bass melody settles over a plodding, swinging half-time drum groove. Murice White‘s vocal cadence moves fluidly within the arrangement, locking into the rhythm as the song unfolds. A sudden, deliberate drop in intensity introduces an arpeggiated and introspective passage driven by a rolling snare, gradually building toward a release carried by a mid-tempo blast beat.

The track expands in scope as Murice’s tremolo-picked lead cuts through with urgency while his vocals rise in intensity. Michael’s bass provides a steady melodic anchor, shaping the mood beneath shifting textures. A discordant, arpeggiated lead slices through the mix while Evan’s drumming shifts into a driving double bass pattern that pushes the song forward before returning to a reprise of its opening movement. The closing moments feature a distorted spoken sample describing barely livable conditions in a city, extending the song’s thematic reach outward.

Stream “Illusion of Loss” HERE: https://youtu.be/RMUghEYe1UM

“Illusion of Loss” reflects on the fragility of life, the isolation that can accompany grief, and the internal changes that follow. The song draws from the experience of personal loss and the emotional weight that lingers in its wake. It considers how loss reshapes identity, how it brings forward buried parts of oneself, and how memory can guide purpose moving forward. The connection between individual grief and shared human experience remains central throughout.

Pre-order A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon here: https://www.terminushatecity.com/product-page/preorder-apostle-a-splinter-in-the-infinite-noumenon-lp

The album title references Carl Jung’s description of humanity as a “splinter in the infinite deity,” framing the record as an exploration of spiritual duality, grief, and self-examination. Across six tracks and 27 minutes, the band move through themes of loss, mortality, internal conflict, and eventual healing. The record serves as both a meditation on the human condition and a deeply personal tribute shaped by grief and remembrance.

Produced, engineered, and mixed by Connor Ray at Sobek Sound and mastered by Erol Ulug at Bright Lights, A Splinter in the Infinite Noumenon presents APOSTLE in their most refined and expansive form.
