Prepare for an all-out sonic assault as INCITE returns with their latest earth-shattering single, “No Mercy No Forgiveness“. A relentless barrage of crushing riffs, thunderous grooves, and venomous vocals, this track is a war cry for the broken, the enraged, and the unstoppable. Fueled by unbridled fury and a refusal to bow, INCITE delivers a firestorm of aggression, ripping through the silence with hammering precision.

Their upcoming new album Savage New Times, set for release on August 15th, promises to be the heaviest, most unforgiving chapter in their legacy. With razor-sharp guitars, bone-crushing breakdowns, and riot-inciting anthems, this record is built for battle; unyielding, unrelenting, and unapologetically brutal. No mercy. No forgiveness. No turning back. Stay tuned.

INCITE comments on the single, stating: “No Mercy No Forgiveness is an absolute monster. This song is pure, unfiltered aggression – exactly what we wanted to bring to the metalheads. Lyrically- I found myself so worried about other people’s opinions which resulted in a-lot of personal failure. Once you show no mercy to achieving your dreams everyone’s words become silent.”

Posted in avant garde music, avant-garde metal, electronic music, Metal, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on April 3, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

On April 18th, 2025, DEMONOLOGISTS return with their latest sonic nightmare, Rakshasa. set for release on Aesthetic Death and Phage Tapes.

The Indiana-based duo, Cory Rowell and Evan Price, known for their unrelenting fusion of industrial blackened noise and horror electronics, conjure an atmosphere that is both suffocating and otherworldly.

Featuring collaborations with David Reed (Envenomist), Terry Vainoras (Vainoras and the Altar of the Drill), Bill Moseley (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre 2, House of 1000 Corpses), Andy Ortmann (Panicsville), Grant Richardson (Gnawed), and Eric Wood (Bastard Noise), Rakshasa is a harrowing descent into a world consumed by self-destruction and decay.

The album track “Symbiosis Omen” is now streaming HERE.

DEMONOLOGISTS sound embraces a range of darker music styles, spanning industrial, EBM, noise, goth, experimental, dark ambient, etc., always dark and sinister, often blended and delivered with a sci -fi / horror influence.

Tracklist: 

01. Rakshama (ft David Reed & Terry Vainoras)
02. Rat Piss Receptacle (ft Bill Moseley) 
03. Nebulaeic Phantasm As Eloquently Dreamt By The Abominable Primordial Ooze (ft Andy Ortmann) 
04. Autophagy 
05. Wet Wings 
06. Ritual Death (ft Grant Richardson) 
07. Samskara 
08. Tsuchigumo 
09. FFWD To Death 
10. Symbiosis Omen (ft Eric Wood)

At times intense and suffocating, and always with an ominous overtone. Rakshasa takes a few stabs at a social commentary on a world that has been overrun and possessed by man, with a never-ending desire for self destruction and death.
