ATAVISTIC DECAY – Indianapolis Death Metal Entity Returns With “Immakulate Invokations” EP

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 19, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Indianapolis death metal entity ATAVISTIC DECAY return with their new EP, Immakulate Invokations, following the release of their 2024 demo. Spanning just over 14 minutes, the two-track work delves into multiple facets of the band’s sound – one half steeped in mephitic, suffocating death metal, the other immersed in murky, unsettling dark ambient.

Balancing oppressive weight with an almost cinematic sense of atmosphere, the release expands the band’s sonic identity and showcases their ability to evoke both physical and psychological unease. The result is a stark, immersive journey that confirms ATAVISTIC DECAY as one of the underground’s most promising new forces, with more range and depth than initially expected.

The band commented:

“Mother of abominations, dominator of beast, fermenter of filth! ‘Immakulate Invokations’ begins in the dionysion ecstasy of maniacal speed, engulfing you in bestial pleasure. A sonic invocation to the sacred whore, ecstasy devolves into slow, painful reflection. As your past ’self’ lies decimated, we invite the listener to transcend the flesh of what once was, and enter a profane and iconoclastic state of transformation, of self-creation and self-pleasure.”

Immakulate Invokations is now streaming exclusively via Mystification Zine, with the 7” vinyl edition set for release on October 3rd through Night Terrors Records.

Stream the EP at THIS LOCATION.

Track-list:

01. Immaculate Invokations
02. Transcend the Flesh

ATAVISTIC DECAY is the deterioration of being into a state of atavistic nothingness, that which precedes the self. Birthed in 2023, the band serves as an organ of this process. Dense textures dirge into oscillating moments of mania, inducing fog-filled visions of autoerotic asphyxiation of being. ATAVISTIC DECAY seeks to drag you into these putrid depths, to experience a state of total self-suffocation.

Seattle Speed Metallers, Sölicitör, Return With Enemy In Mirrors – This September

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on August 18, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Seattle (WA) – Sölicitör are bringing forth their sophomore studio album of classic 80s style speed metal fury! Enemy in Mirrors is ten songs of haunting, powerful and destructive metal mania.

Five years have passed since Spectral Devastation, Sölicitör’sdebut LP was unleashed. Now they are back with a bang. More leather-bound, more aggressive, more powerful and more metal than ever. From the powerful riffing and impressive drum work to the evocative vocals; it won’t take you long to fall in love with the classic and authentic sound of this new offering. Mixing heavy, speed and even some thrash metal elements to achieve a unique sound of powerful metallic excellence, none shall be spared on this ferocious new opus.

Fans will notice the more dynamic, emotive and varied approach on this album that still retains all of the power and fury of their previous efforts. 

The band took a more DIY approach to the actual recording while re-amping, mixing and mastering was done by Chris Mannino to truly bring the electrifying takes to life. Speaking of DIY, the band’s vocalist Amy handled the artwork for this release, ensuring the bands vision was appropriately represented.

The band put this into words best: “This album was built on blood, sweat and struggle, personal catastrophes and triumphs, division and uncertainty – ultimately pulled together by dedication to a long term vision and determination above all odds to deliver performances that will surely outlast our previous offerings. We believe in the integrity of these songs, as a representation of our evolution and arrival to this point. This album is darker, more melodic, much more expressive, personal, and may take some by surprise for better or worse. Themes of the paranormal, revenge and retribution, betrayal, and a steadfast commitment to heavy metal and all that has come before us as we continue to pursue and mark our place in a drastically different and ever changing landscape.”

The album’s fiery first single, “Iron Wolves of War,” is streaming now on YouTube and Bandcamp.

Gates of Hell Records will release Enemy in Mirrors September 19 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.

EVOKEN: American Death/Funeral Doom Emissaries To Release Mendacium Full-Length October 17th On Profound Lore Records

Posted in death doom, funeral doom, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 18, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

“Matins” Single Now Playing + Preorders Available

Stream EVOKEN’s “Matins” HERE.

The most prominent and significant American death/funeral doom emissaries EVOKEN succeed their 2018 landmark Hypnagogia album with their stunning seventh full-length opus, Mendacium, set for release on October 17th on Profound Lore Records. Mendacium is a work that will reveal itself as one of the darkest and most oppressive EVOKEN albums among their unparalleled repertoire.

Where Hypnagogia would see the band capture and focus on a more melancholic, tangible, and even more of an accessible sonic design, Mendacium takes that acute shift back to the monumental dirge-like dread and woeful catacombic and disharmonious heaviness reminiscent of the band’s Quietus and Antithesis Of Light masterworks, all while still encapsulating the tectonic-shifting nature of their Caress Of The Void and Atra Mors releases and venturing more through classic gothic audial textures and even treading a little down experimental mire as well, reminiscing an aura seeping from such luminary artists as Dead Can Dance, Monumentum, and Disembowelment.

To signal this shift in sound harking back to this previous era, the band enlisted the services of producer Ron “Bumblefoot” Thal who worked with EVOKEN on their Antithesis Of Light and Quietus albums respectively. The resulting Mendacium captures a sepulchral heaviness saturated in ambience with even more of an emphasis on deathlike dread and anguish; an ambience reflecting the depths and catacombs of an ancient cathedral or monastery, ultimately defining Mendacium as EVOKEN’s most powerful sounding album to date.

Thematically, Mendacium bestows an intriguing concept and story. It tells the tale of a fourteenth century elder Benedictine monk with malady from illness preventing him from leaving his room within the monastery he dwells within. His faith and service to God can never be satiated. Slowly declining in health and sleepless from continuous pain, the monk encounters a hideous entity emerging through a tear in reality. The story questions, is the torment of this monk by each passing hour being inflicted by this entity or is it all within his own mind?

In advance of the release of Mendacium, today the band unveils the album’s first single, “Matins,” noting of the track, “‘Matins’ is a peek into a reality.”

Stream EVOKEN’s “Matins” HERE.

Mendacium, which features cover art by Worthless, will be released on CD, LP and digital formats.

Mendacium – Track Listing:

  1. Matins
  2. Lauds
  3. Prime

“Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by rulers as useful.” – Seneca

CLAUSTROFOBIA Announces U.S. Tour With CRYPTA

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 18, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Thrash metal powerhouse CLAUSTROFOBIA aren’t slowing down in 2025. After hitting the road last year with Sepultura, Obituary & Agnostic Front for a brutal run, the Brazilian legends are keeping their foot on the gas. CLAUSTROFOBIA has just announced a handful of brand new tour dates for the rest of 2025 with CRYPTA.

“It will be an honor to hit the road with our friends from Crypta. They’re enjoying tremendous success around the world, and it’s a joy to see Brazilian metal growing stronger. Our journey here in the United States has been very positive, and I can’t wait to start the shows. It’s going to be a lot of fun, and metal will reign supreme as always,” states singer/guitarist Marcus D’Angelo.

“We’re super excited because our brother Garrett Davis, from Unidad Trauma, will be playing bass with us on this tour. This tour will pave the way for the release of our new album, which will be recorded soon after, and then we’ll start planning a trip to Brazil. Thank you all for your support, and the march continues.“

CLAUSTROFOBIA’s latest album, Unleeched, hit stores last fall, or CD/limited-edition cassette can be ordered online https://lnk.to/claustrofobia Unleeched was produced, mixed and mastered by Adair Daufembach (Angra, Cadaver, Tony MacAlpine) with cover artwork by Alcides Burn and the domestic release contains two bonus tracks.

Check out the videos for “The Encrypted,” “Stronger than Faith,” “Riff Cult,” “Strength Beyond Strength” (Pantera cover) and the title track, “Unleeched,” which was edited from live footage from their last tour.

CLAUSTROFOBIA’s history dates back to Marcus founding the band 30 years ago in Brazil and releasing a couple demos in the mid-‘90s. By 2000 with his brother, Caio D’Angelo on drums, the then-quartet released a self-titled album kicking off a run of six albums over the next 16 years with S. American and European distribution and live shows with Slayer, Soulfly and Napalm Death and festival appearances at Portugal’s Barrocelas and the famous Rock in Rio.

Relocating to Las Vegas six years ago in an attempt to break the US market, CLAUSTROFOBIA began playing local shows, and touring around the western US with Exciter, Lich King, Vader, Krisiun, Warbringer and Heathen, in addition to festivals like Charged Noise Fest, Devastation in the Desert, and the Art of Music Fest.

In 2024 CLAUSTROFOBIA did two US tours opening for Exmortus, Generation Kill and Hatriot, as well as one of the biggest metal tours last fall – Sepultura’s final US run including support from such genre heavyweights as Obituary and Agnostic Front. In the meantime, writing is complete for the next album and the band will hit the studio to record it immediately following the Crypta run.

NO LIFE ‘TIL LEATHER – A TRIBUTE TO METALLICA’S KILL ‘EM ALL – Silver Lining Music To Release All-Star Metallica Tribute | First Single, THE ALMIGHTY’s Cover Of “The Four Horsemen” Is Out Now

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , , on August 17, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Silver Lining Music will release No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute To Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All on November 14th. The first single is THE ALMIGHTY’s blistering, full-throttle cover of Metallica’s legendary “The Four Horsemen,” the band’s first recorded work with their founding lineup since 1991, chosen by the band as both a nod to their roots and a declaration of intent.

“The Four Horsemen by Metallica got us back into the studio with the original lineup for the first time since 1991… Unbelievable,” lead singer and guitarist Ricky Warwick exclaims. “When the opportunity presented itself, it was really a no brainer. Metallica has been a huge influence for us. It was a bit nerve-wracking because we had not been in the studio for such a long time. We did the whole thing in a day and a half with as much power and passion as you would expect from THE ALMIGHTY. It is such a powerful track. I think it turned out great, make sure you turn it up really, really loud!”

Watch THE ALMIGHTY’s video for their cover of “The Four Horsemen,” edited by Freakshot Film, HERE.

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute To Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is a colossal celebration of the most propulsive debut album in heavy metal history, reimagined by the legends who inspired it and the generations that came in its wake!

The veteran likes of SAXON, DIAMOND HEAD, and MOTÖRHEAD (three of Metallica’s favorite bands) are joined by rising stars such as TAILGUNNER and Swedish prog metallers SOEN to create a who’s who of heavy music, with each performer lending their unique sound to one classic track.

Contributions from thrash giants TESTAMENT, ex-Megadeth bassist DAVID ELLEFSON, and New Wave Of British Heavy Metal linchpins TYGERS OF PAN TANG show the label looking beyond their own artists to amass the greatest lineup possible. Joining the super star lineup are the legendary RAVEN (closing with the thundering anthemic “Metal Militia”) who were part of Metallica’s first-ever tour: 1983’s famous Kill ‘Em All For One venture.

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute To Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All will be available on vinyl, CD, and digital formats. Find preorders HERE.

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute To Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All – Track Listing:

1. Hit The Lights (TAILGUNNER)

2. The Four Horsemen (THE ALMIGHTY)

3. Motorbreath (SOEN)

4. Jump In The Fire (TYGERS OF PAN TANG)

5. (Anesthesia) – Pulling Teeth (DAVID ELLEFSON)

6. Whiplash (MOTÖRHEAD)

7. Phantom Lord (SAXON)

8. No Remorse (DIAMOND HEAD)

9. Seek & Destroy (TESTAMENT)

10. Metal Militia (RAVEN)

No Life ‘Til Leather – A Tribute To Metallica’s Kill ‘Em All is an ambitious achievement worthy of Metallica’s game-changing legacy. By the fans and for the fans, it reaffirms the Four Horsemen’s ironclad status and its stacked roster continues the band’s mission to shove metal up your ass.

DEFIGUREMENT: Death/Grind Act To Release Endbryo Debut LP Featuring Guests From Cephalic Carnage, Gridlink, Impaled & More On Nefarious Industries October 17 – Preorders/Previews Posted

Posted in Extreme Metal, extreme metal music, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , , on August 16, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Experimental death/grind abomination DEFIGUREMENT, formed by current/former members of Fear Factory, Malignancy, Raven, Bad Acid Trip, Murder Construct, Lack Of Interest, Rottenness, and countless more, will release their facemelting debut album, Endbryo, through Nefarious Industries in October.

DEFIGUREMENT encompasses a cast of life-long henchmen from across the metal/extreme music underground; an experimental grindcore project featuring drummer Mike Heller (Malignancy, Raven, ex-Fear Factory), guitarist Kevin Fetus (Lack Of Interest, Fetus Eaters, ex-Murder Construct), bassist/noise architect DMT (Mormon Mincers, ex-Bad Acid Trip), and vocalist Matthias Joyce aka “Matti Güey” (Rottenness, To Violently Vomit, Formless Master).

The debut album from this decimating collective, Endbryo arrives with sixteen tracks of sheer intensity; A unified creation born of sci-fi death metal infiltrated by hyperactive overtones of gore, grind, prog, and experimentalism.

Ludicrous, grinding blasts jacked-up on interstellar strains of both melody and scathe, ludicrous putridity bursting to shed its skin, hammering percussion with fretwork and vocals working triple-time to keep up. As uncanny, unhinged, and bizarre as it undoubtedly is, Endbryo flows seamlessly into an inimitable hybrid of extreme tech death that can only be described as pure DEFIGUREMENT.

Nefarious Industries will release Endbryo on limited runs of LP, CD, and MC on October 17th. Find preorders where the “Wounded Landscape” single and “Godtopsy” video are playing RIGHT HERE.

Endbryo was recorded DIY by the band at multiple facilities, mixed by Rob Caldwell (Cannibal Corpse, Municipal Waste, Devourment), mastered by Lasse Lammert (Sigh, Kublai Khan, The Atlas Moth), with artwork by Kevin Fetus.

The album is drenched in guest contributions, including Takafumi Matsubara (Gridlink, Mortalized), Makiko Suda (Flagitious Idiosyncrasy In The Dilapidation, Monnier), Brian Hopp (Cephalic Carnage), Kevin Alter (Deathwish, Invidiosus), Crawlin Lewis (King Goro, Formless Master, Invidiosus), Karl Schmidt (Gorgatron, Visceral Disgorge), Leon Del Muerte (Impaled, Terrorizer LA, ex-Exhumed, ex-Nails, ex-Intronaut), Alec Cordero (Black Hole Deity, Calcemia), Ryan Wright (Necropathy), Leonard “Lenzig” Leal (Cephalic Carnage, Neuromorphic), and Matt Olson.

Endbryo – Track Listing:

1. Shogun Of Sorrow

2. Burnt By The Truth

3. Impure Vessel

4. Open Veins, Visceral Tapestry

5. Wounded Landscape

6. Alteregomaniac

7. Humanity In Autumn

8. Her Knowing Collapse

9. Eternal Dusk (Interlude)

10. Godtopsy

11. We Are The Worst

12. Love Is Atrophy

13. Left In A Cold Rain (Interlude)

14. The Clot Thickens

15. Neverlasting Life

16. Endbryo

If Total Fucking Destruction, Birdflesh, Cryptopsy, Gridlink, Cephalic Carnage, Atrae Bilis, Brutal Truth, Gigan, Anata, Artificial Brain, Antigama, Necrophagist, and the like frequently contribute to your hearing damage, DEFIGUREMENT should be next in line to usher in your tinnitus.

Watch “World On Fire” (Lyric Video) HERE

David Feinstein says: “World On Fire” is inspired by the state that our world is in right now. Wars, hunger, homelessness. It’s about having faith that our world will get better and asking, “What can we do to help make that happen?”

The Rods are back with “Wild Dogs Unchained“, a new album that combines reimagined classics from their past with masterfully crafted new songs.

Hooks, grooves, crafty, formidable, and rebellious are songwriting attributes that The Rods gladly embrace. On Wild Dogs Unchained, the veteran power trio continues their famed aural assault, with songs like “Eyes of a Dreamer” and “Tears for the Innocent,” revealing heretofore unrealized musical melodicism, while re-tooled classics, “Hurricane” and “Wild Dogs Unchained,” percolate with renewed vigor. 

On Wild Dogs Unchained, the playing is harder, the grooving is heavier, and the singing more soulful than ever before. David “Rock” Feinstein (guitar/vocals), Freddy Villano (bass), and Carl Canedy (drums) have crafted a definitive Rods album aimed at pleasing die-hard fans and new audiences alike.

TRACK-LISTING:
1. Eyes Of A Dreamer

Phoenix groovers/thrashers INCITE have today released Savage New Times via Reigning Phoenix Music. The new album features 10 new tracks that showcase exactly why they are broadly viewed as rising stars in the genre.

To mark the occasion, the band has unleashed a performance video for the title track, one of the most intense and truly “savage” cuts on the record.

Frontman Richie Cavalera comments, “‘Savage New Times’ is a throwback to 80s metal that inspired us. It’s meant to be a song about being strong, overcoming, and fighting through the dark days of our lives. It’s a killer track and a great way to end an album as our final battle cry!!!”

DAVE MUSTAINE Announces MEGADETHs’ Final Album And Global Farewell Tour

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on August 14, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

From MEGADETH newsletter:

“There’s so many musicians that have come to the end of their career, whether accidental or intentional. Most of them don’t get to go out on their own terms on top, and that’s where I’m at in my life right now. I have traveled the world and have made millions upon millions of fans and the hardest part of all of this is saying goodbye to them. 

We can’t wait for you to hear this album and see us on tour. If there was ever a perfect time for us to put out a new album, it’s now. If there was ever a perfect time to tour the world, it’s now.  This is also a perfect time for us to tell you that it’s our last studio album.  We’ve made a lot of friends over the years and I hope to see all of you on our global farewell tour.  Don’t be mad, don’t be sad, be happy for us all, come celebrate with me these next few years.  We have done something together that’s truly wonderful and will probably never happen again. We started a musical style, we started a revolution, we changed the guitar world and how it’s played, and we changed the world. The bands I played in have influenced the world. I love you all for it. Thank you for everything.”

– Dave Mustaine

HERETOIR Ushers In The “Season of Grief” | New Album Solastalgia, Out Sep 19th Via AOP Records

Posted in Blackgaze, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, music videos, news with tags , , , , , , on August 14, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Revered German blackgaze band HERETOIR has revealed the 2nd single, “Season of Grief,” from their awaited, fourth album, Solastalgia, that’s out September 19th via AOP Records.

The 10 minute epic soundscape blends lush atmospheric guitars with intense driving riffs and blackened rhythm; a signature sound the band has long been praised for. The song is paired with an equally profound video created by Martin Vrigsjö Staflin with live footage from Kevin Storm and Alexander Bahr. 

Commenting on the new song, the band states: 

“When we think about how modern humanity treats the natural world and also how humanity treats each other, the general feeling is one of sadness and anger – and grief. Grief for every living being suffering from our ways. 

In the name of technological progress humanity is consuming even the last remaining intact ecosystems. Many people, especially in the global North, believe that established economic systems, capitalism, and globalized industrial civilization represent humanity’s greatest achievement.

We actually find little to admire in this – huge numbers of people live in inhumane conditions, animals are degraded to commodities, primeval forests are clearcut for wood production and to make room for agriculture… the list is endless.

We hope that this track resonates with many of you, especially in this challenging time, where everything feels more unstable than ever. Thank you for your never ending support and love – we don’t take it for granted.“

BURNED IN EFFIGY – Announce Fall Release For Tyrannus Aeternum

Posted in Death Metal, melodic death metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 14, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

The neoclassical melodic death force known as BURNED IN EFFIGY is set to unleash their newest razor-edged assault.

Rising from the heart of the Midwest metal scene, this Chicago-based quintet has announced a fall release for their much-anticipated second full-length, Tyrannus Aeternum. Following the 2022 release of their debut album, Rex Mortem, BURNED IN EFFIGY has sharpened their sound to a lethal edge. The result is an 11-track onslaught that blends the band’s skillful musicianship and technicality with volcanic brutality.

An early glimpse into the conceptual and sonic intensity of Tyrannus Aeternum comes with the album’s first single, “Befouled Benefaction.”

Watch the lyric video at youtu.be/8GjaFLZNEAk.

Stream the song on Spotify, Amazon Music, and Apple Music.

Tyrannus Aeternum is set for release on October 31. Pre-orders are coming soon.

Track-list:

1) Befouled Benefaction

2) Retribution

3) Masquerade

4) Procession

5) Wage of Exile

6) Sacrificial Seance

7) Monstrosity Reborn

8) Gallows Hymn

9) The Racking

10) Crown Crusher

11) Citadel

Tyrannus Aeternum was recorded at Beal Audio and Bricktop Recording, with production, engineering and mixing by Jordan Beal. Orchestration and keyboards on the album were provided by Graham Southern. Album artwork by Timon Kokott.

Line-up:

Mark “Smedy” Smedbron – Vocals
Steve Bacakos – Guitar
Mike Hisson – Guitar
Matt Watkins – Bass
Eddie Dec – Drums

Band Bio:

BURNED IN EFFIGY’s roots date back to 2017. In January 2022, the band independently released its debut album Rex Mortem, which was highly acclaimed by leading heavy music media and led to the band sharing the stage with iconic acts such as ORBIT CULTURE, OBSCURA, and REVOCATION.

A must for listeners of acts such as THE BLACK DAHLIA MURDER and INFERI, with the band’s attention to virtuosity and intensity in equal measure, the effort and accomplishment of the band’s debut led to being talent scouted. With work on the band’s sophomore album complete, BURNED IN EFFIGY aims to take its signature melodic death metal sound across the US, and in time, the world. The search for total conquest continues.

Swedish Thrash Metal Masters MEZZROW Announce New Studio Album, Embrace The Awakening, For A November Release on ROAR | Present First Video Single “Architects Of The Silent War”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 13, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Following previously-released, stand-alone singles, “As Fear Unfolds” and a killer cover version of Ghost’s “Ritual”, Swedish thrash metal force MEZZROW have finally revealed the first details of their forthcoming new studio album! Entitled Embrace The Awakening, the band’s third full-length rager will be released on November 14, 2025 via ROAR. 

Available on 2-CD Digipak incl. the Keep It True – Live bonus album, 1-LP Vinyl in Bloodred Sky Marbled edition as well as in Digital formats, the album pre-sale has just started at: https://mezzrow.rpm.link/embracePR 

Today, the thrash metal torchbearers are presenting a video clip for their first official single taken off Embrace The Awakening, the brutal-as-hell “Architects Of The Silent War”! Singer Uffe Pettersson comments:

“We’re really proud of this one and it has all the thrash metal elements you can demand! Lyrically inspired by the dark and sophisticated world of the constant cyber war, and cyber attacks globally, which affects us all the time without us knowing anything about it more or less.”

Stream / Download “Architects Of The Silent War” at: 
https://mezzrow.rpm.link/architectsPR

Watch the music video premiering HERE

MEZZROW built themselves a name in the thrash metal scene during the late eighties with their critically acclaimed demo tapes, Frozen Soul and Cross of Tormention. In 1990, they released their classic debut album Then Came the Killing, through Active Records (Candlemass a.o.), a subsidiary of Music for Nations. The album is still today considered as one of the best, if not the best, thrash metal releases from Sweden and Scandinavia.

During 2021 MEZZROW rose from the ashes, when bass player Conny Welén (ex-Hexenhaus) and singer Uffe Pettersson (ex-Rosicrucian) decided to make a new mark in the thrash metal world of today, together with new guitarists Magnus Söderman (Nightrage) and Ronnie Björnström (ex-Defiatory, ex-Aeon), as well as drummer Alvaro “Alvis” Svanerö (Imperial Domain).

Following their comeback album Summon Thy Demons (2023, Fireflash Records) and the much-acclaimed Keep It True – Live record, MEZZROW started writing material for their third album.

Eight new songs were later on chosen to become Embrace The Awakening, a Bay Area Thrash Metal monster made in Sweden! Uffe Pettersson says: ”We wanted the new album to sound a bit more straight forward without stepping away too much from Summon Thy Demons. We feel that we’ve achieved that and at the same time kept our roots intact!”

Pre-Order Embrace The Awakening now at:
https://mezzrow.rpm.link/embracePR

DEAD HEAT: Oxnard, California Crossover Crew To Release Process Of Elimination Full-Length October 10th, On Metal Blade Records

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on August 13, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

“Perpetual Punishment” Single Now Playing + Preorders Available

Stream DEAD HEAT’s “Perpetual Punishment” HERE.  

West Coast crossover crew DEAD HEAT will release their crushing Process Of Elimination full-length October 10th, on their new label home of Metal Blade Records!

Process Of Elimination follows the band’s critically lauded 2023-released Endless Torment EP. The record serves as a continuation and progression musically, while thematically it often touches on DEAD HEAT’s disdain for the powers that be. “I feel like unconsciously the music has become more complex with the songwriting and how we play live as well. We all naturally wanted to become better musicians and it shows in our music and live presence,” elaborates guitarist Justin Ton. “Our music is a metal/hardcore twist, but I’d say we intentionally leaned more and more metal in our sound.”

Lead guitarist Ricky Garcia and Ton take guitar influences from Slayer and Sepultura, “but we also both add our own personal influences in the songs on Process… I drew a lot from Dark Angel and Demolition Hammer while also sticking to my hardcore tendencies with Leeway and Cro-Mags influences,” notes Ton. For his part, Garcia cites Kreator, Megadeth, and Pantera as influences, giving props to Marty Friedman and Chris Broderick for solos. 

When DEAD HEAT test drove a few new tracks live on their tour supporting Cavalera Conspiracy, the as-yet-unreleased songs were met with moshing and circle pits. Understandably so. “Everything from the riffs to the song structures and even adding in more thought-out electronic interludes help break the pacing from the sonic assault of the guitars,” says Ton. 

“Lyrically, I wanted to touch on a bit of everything, with every song about a different topic,” explains vocalist Chris Ramos. “I feel like I was able to articulate a better understanding of what I was trying to express previously.”

“We are against all racist bigotry in this country,” furthers Ton. “Most of the band is of immigrant descent. We also seek for the world to stop supporting these corporate/political monsters that only seek out personal gain and nothing else.” 

First single, “Perpetual Punishment,” opens the record with gentle guitar before kicking into aggro/hardcore mode. “We chose this song to start Process… because when it hits, it’s hard, and has a great flow,” states Ramos. “The song is about not wasting your time in life because tomorrow simply isn’t promised. If there’s something you want to do with your life, do it now, don’t waste your existence thinking about all the things you could have done. It’s a key theme I always try to portray in lyrical form, or even in random stage banter. I feel like it’s what keeps me going every day.”

Stream DEAD HEAT’s “Perpetual Punishment” HERE.  

Process Of Elimination was produced by the band with Paul Fig (Deftones, Trivium, Jerry Cantrell) and will be available on CD and digital formats as well as vinyl in the following color variants:

Blood Moon (Red / Black Marbled – US)
Dusk (Orange / Red / Black Marbled – US)
