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.”

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)

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.

Gallagher (WV) – U.S. Thrash Metal quartet, Executionist, will release their debut full-length album, Sacrament of the Sick, on May 16! In the four years since the release of their debut EP, the band has sharpened the blades of its attack, both in terms of songwriting and performance!

Sacrament of the Sick is a monumental step forward from Executionist’s previous material. Improved production, performances, and writing have made the Executionist sound nearly unrecognizable compared to the band’s debut EP, Destined for Destruction.

Each track was meticulously crafted and poured over in Executionist’s home studio, and the final product shows that it was worth every ounce of attention. With a clear focus on melody and tighter songwriting, Sacrament of the Sick is a sonic journey sure to leave a lasting impact on the listener.

BIO:

Executionist was officially formed in 2021 by brothers Brett and Tristan Ash, who were 17 and 13 years old, respectively at the time. Their debut EP, Destined for Destruction, was released on January 27, 2021. Two years later, Executionist released “GENESIS 666” (March 2023).

After playing many shows together as a mere two-piece, Executionist finally added a bass player in 2024, in the form of Austin Rose. The three played more shows together before finally rounding out the lineup by adding Mike Kinder on guitar in March of 2025.

Around the same time, Executionist announced the forthcoming release of their debut full-length album, Sacrament of the Sick. The lead single “Serrated Shadows,” has already been released, with another single set to release on April 18.

With the release of their album on the horizon, Executionist aims to play live as much as possible while writing new music for their next project.

RADIAN – Akron, Ohio Sludge Metal Crew Alumni Announces Spring 2025 Tour Dates | Third LP Nears Completion

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on April 2, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Akron, Ohio-based sludge metal merchants in RADIAN have announced a run of tour dates across the Eastern US throughout the Spring months. The melee begins with a trio of April gigs, including a set at Legalize Lex Fest in Lexington, Kentucky. The bulk of the dates run from May 16th through May 27th with the band hitting a good portion of the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, followed by a one-off show in June. See all currently confirmed tour dates below, with more new shows expected to be announced throughout the months ahead.

RADIAN Spring Tour 2025:
4/06/2025 Westside Bowl – Youngstown, OH
4/18/2025 Brothers Lounge – Lakewood, OH
4/19/2025 Legalize Lex Fest @ Al’s Bar – Lexington, KY
5/16/2025 O’Sullivan’s – Fort Wayne, IN
5/17/2025 Southgate House – Newport, KY

6/17/2025 Westside Bowl Youngstown, OH

RADIAN emerged in the winter of 2017, founded by guitarist Mike Burns (ex-Rue, Sofa King Killer). Their vision to merge groove with grime culminated in the roaring, sludgy assault of their independent debut LP, Chapters (2019), praised by The Obelisk as delivering, “that extra bit of aggression one finds underlying the most satisfying of sludge metals.” Fueled by a growing response from the heavy metal community, the dynamic four-piece embraced their DIY roots, building a steady following throughout the Midwest.

This momentum led to the writing and release of their punishing sophomore album, Discordian, on Burns’ own El Burno Records in December 2021. Relentless shows and touring in support of Discordian brought both growth and turbulence, with multiple lineup shifts along the way.

By Fall 2022, drummer Derek Vaive (Ommnus) joined the ranks, followed by vocalist Corey Staley (A Damn Shame) solidifying the new lineup in Fall 2024. Now armed with fresh material and a renewed sense of purpose, RADIAN is set to hit the road again in Spring 2025, delivering their brand of sludgy doom with unrelenting force.

RADIAN is currently in the later stages of completing work on their third LP. Stand by for updates as the album is prepared for release in the months ahead.

KING WITCH Returns With III

Posted in Hard Rock, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on April 1, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

KING WITCH are releasing their much awaited brand new full length album III on June 27, 2025. The album displays a phenomenal leap forward in terms of songwriting and a massive production.

Formed in late 2015 on the streets of old Edinburgh, King Witch play a lead-heavy brew of rock and doom that draws comparisons ranging from Black Sabbath and Candlemass to Soundgraden and Alice In Chains. The band quickly earned themselves a reputation as a formidable live act and have toured the UK and Europe extensively with the likes of Green Lung as well as playing festivals such as Sweden Rock, Desertfest and Bloodstock.. 

After self releasing their extremely well received Shoulder of Giants ep, the band were picked up by Listenable Records through which they released their debut album Under The Mountain in 2018 followed by Body Of Light in 2020.

2025 sees the band return with their third and most accomplished full length album, III, featuring Andrew Scott on drums. Produced and mixed by guitarist Jamie Gilchrist in his own studio, Nameless City Sound, III retains the doom and heavy rock elements that characterise their earlier releases while ramping up the energy and focusing on more concise songwriting. The album focuses on where the human race is right now, our apparent desire to destroy ourselves, and the mental struggle to deal with it and carry on living a positive life.

PRE-SAVE ‘Swarming Flies’ HERE

Debut single ‘Swarming Flies’ is scheduled for Friday the 2nd of May, 2025. Don’t miss out on this crushing new track!

CHIAROSCURO Release Self-Titled Debut EP

Posted in Death Metal, melodic death metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 31, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Chiaroscuro Out now on Unholy Anarchy Records

Melodic death band CHIAROSCURO has given release to their self-titled debut EP.  Chiaroscuro showcases this young, Baltimore-based band’s ability to weave complexity, melody, and extremity into a cohesive, immersive experience.

“Chiaroscuro is a converging point of careful study and artistic impulse, conducted through an interpretation of melodic extreme metal forms” -Cassiopeia, vocalist/lyricist

Chiaroscuro is now available on digital and limited-edition CD via Unholy Anarchy Records.

Order and stream the EP at:

unholyanarchyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/chiaroscuro

Tracklisting:

  1. Sunbeat
  2. Hekatomb of Malevolence
  3. Unbridled Darkness
  4. A Song for Ghosts

The band is set to hit the road in support of the EP. Tour dates are as follows:

4/03 @ Bonk’s Bar – Philadelphia, PA (w/ Bastard Cross & Frog Myst)
4/04 @ Ralph’s Rock Diner – Worcester, MA (w/ Caregiver & The Outlourdes)
4/05 @ El Bunker Del Diablo – Queens, NY (Del Diablo Fest)
4/06 @ Quinnz Pinz – Middletown, NY (w/ Grave Heist & Ape Metro)
4/07 @ Wax Atlas – Baltimore, MD (w/ Fear Agent & Julia Set)

Vocalist/lyricist Cassiopeia and guitarist/songwriter Nick Temoshok met during their brief stint in a local Baltimore band. The two soon pulled away from that project in a vie for a firm establishment of their collective creative endeavors.

Thus came CHIAROSCURO, by way of a self-produced demo quietly released in 2024. A full live ensemble was arranged shortly thereafter, playing multiple shows in and around the Baltimore area.

CHIAROSCURO:
Cassiopeia: Vocals
Nick Temoshok: Guitars/songwriting
Adam Smith: Percussion
Ben Baris: Bass
Clay Baucom: live rhythm guitarist

Drums for Chiaroscuro were recorded at The Sludge Factory in Baltimore, MD, with vocal tracking done at Eternal Rapture Studio. The EP was produced by Wes Walker at Eternal Rapture Studio in Aberdeen, MD.

Art by George Cruikshank, of “The Drunkard’s Children” series, Plate VIII (1848) “The Maniac Father and the Convict Brother are Gone — The Poor Girl, Homeless, Friendless, Deserted, Destitute, and Gin Mad, Commits Self Murder.”

Streaming Now! Canadian Progressive Death SYMBIOTIC GROWTH’s New Album: Beyond The Sleepless Aether

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 31, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Mixed and Mastered by Tom Maclean (Haken, Athemon, Brutta)

Canadian progressive blackened death unit Symbiotic Growth unleashes their sophomore album Beyond The Sleepless Aether, now available as of March 28th, 2025. Similar to the band’s predecessor, their 2020 self-titled full-length, Beyond The Sleepless Aether, is once again based in fiction and is lyrically conceptual, but dives more into thoughts and emotions of everyday life, and sometimes those thoughts are hard to deal with.

“I feel like this time around, the sound is a bit darker and experimental, with more synth-heavy sounds and a melancholy atmosphere. The lyrics were very loosely inspired by a dream I (Aaron) had about the multiverse theory intertwined with some of my challenges of dealing with a sense of being and why we are all here,” says Aaron Barriault (Vocals, Guitar, Bass)

Progressive, experimental, foreboding, and emotional, every song has its own identity and its place within the album’s story, taking its protagonist through the multiverse, placing him in places like dark wooded forests, wide open desert landscapes and the unending cosmos.

The full-length listening experience tackles strong topics of loneliness, a sense of being, self-hatred, and suicide. Some of these are blatant and easy to see, and others subtly, throughout the course of the album, lyrically and musically.

“I think the fans who have heard our previous album may be a bit surprised; the sound of this album is a bit different; it’s a little bit more experimental in its own way. Either way, we hope that fans enjoy what we’ve created. I feel like the listener may have feelings of uneasiness and wonder. An odd combination, but I feel like it’s fitting.”

Mixed and mastered by Tom Maclean (Twelve Tone Studio, Haken, Athemon, Brutta), “Beyond The Sleepless Aether”, features seven paryalzing sounds of technical metal created by the Sudbury, ON recording line up of Aaron Barriault (Vocals, Guitar, Bass), Devin Mcqueen (Vocals, Guitar), and Dan Favot (Drums)(ex-Wolven Ancestry, ex-Fractal Generator). The artwork was created by Erskine Designs and shows an entity standing at the foot of what the band likes to think of as Azathoth.

“The album doesn’t touch on any Lovecraftian mythos (maybe a bit in The Sleepless Void), but the lore behind Azathoth, that we are all in his dream and once he wakes everything will cease to be, is very fitting to the album lyrically,” adds Barriault.

Recommended for fans of Ne Oblivisacaris, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, Cor Scorpii, and Gojira, Beyond The Sleepless Aether is available at the following links:

Canada’s Vortex Unveils “Haunting The Abyss” Music Video Ahead Of Canadian Tour With XAON | New EP Alien Realms Out April 2025

Vortex has released a haunting new music video for their latest single “Haunting the Abyss” directed by Chris Kells (The Agonist). The track is the second single from their upcoming EP “Alien Realms” scheduled for release on April 11th, 2025. This is the second single off this record and fans can hear both live when the band tours Eastern Canada in April and Europe in the fall, supporting France’s XAON. Vortex comments on the single:

“This song begins with a melancholic black metal section before transitioning into a verse that I’d describe as a modern death metal take on the main riff of Metal Church by the band of the same name. For this EP, we focused on writing memorable, epic choruses, and this one is a perfect example of that. This song showcases Vortex at its best. We put a lot of hard work into it, and we truly believe it’s the standout track on Alien Realms.”

The video, crafted by Kells’ visionary direction, perfectly captures the band’s blend of technical proficiency and atmospheric intensity. Through striking visuals and masterful cinematography, the video enhances the track’s exploration of cosmic horror and discovery.

“Haunting the Abyss” demonstrates Vortex‘s evolution, featuring their trademark combination of guttural and black metal vocals alongside fry screams. The song showcases the band’s sophisticated approach to extreme metal, with intricate guitar work and massive orchestral arrangements working in perfect harmony. They are recommended listening for fans of Shadow of Intent, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Dimmu Borgir.

Watch and listen to “Haunting the Abyss” via its video premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.

Due out on April 11, 2025, “Alien Realms” is available for pre-order at https://vortexband.bandcamp.com

1. When Humans Defy the Void – 5:03

Metalist Magazine & Israeli Band Stormbound And More Unite To Release Memorial EP: The Final Hours – For Fallen Soldier & Metal Fan Jonathan Savitsky

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on March 29, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Artwork by Black & Grim

On October 7, 2023, approximately 6,000 terrorists infiltrated kibbutzim, moshavim, and Israeli Defense Forces bases near the Gaza border. Jonathan Savitsky, a dedicated soldier, gentleman, and Metalhead, fell heroically in the battle for the Kisufim outpost during its liberation. When the Egoz soldiers arrived, they found 32 female observers, three women, a baby, and 14 wounded Golani Brigade soldiers barricaded in the operations room.

The battle for the Kisufim outpost lasted about seven grueling hours. All 50 people in the operations room were rescued unharmed, but the cost was heavy: Jonathan and his comrades, Amit Peled and Elad Sasson, all 21 years old, were killed in action.

Days after Jonathan’s death, his sister Lina reached out to Metalist Magazine (https://www.metalist.co.il/) on Facebook. She shared that Jonathan was an avid fan of metal. After a few conversations, Metalist proposed with the magazine’s wide reach, that they can issue a “call to action” for Israeli bands interested in writing a song to honor Jonathan. The hope was to find one band willing to take on this important project. Instead, not one but five different songs were written!

The artists and bands who answered the call were Stormbound (Power Metal), Shiran Band (Modern Djent/Heavy metal), In Labyrinth (Death/Thrash), Yagon (doom metal), and D’arc Mother (Berlin based folk singer/pianist) featuring Yadin Moyal (guitarist).

The project was coordinated by Nimrod Friedrich, a music producer who oversaw all the musical materials and technical management. Mastering for the entire EP was handled by Maor Appelbaum, a top-tier professional who has worked with major rock and metal acts such as Sabaton, Faith No More, Rob Halford, Sepultura, Voivod, and many others.

All participants in the project volunteered their time and talents, driven by a genuine desire to honor Jonathan Savitsky’s memory – a metalhead and a hero.

Entitled “The Final Hours” (In Loving Memory of Jonathan Savitsky), the EP can be listened to at the following link: https://orcd.co/thefinalhours

YoutTube Playlist – https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLny6Z-J8kywXwXxGLT4KdJEfAVwx2WXJq

Track Listing:
​1. Guardians of Light – Stormbound – 4:30
2. Angel Warrior – SHIRAN – 4:05
3. Metal Band – D’arc Mother Feat. Yadin Moyal – 2:33
4. Jonathan Lion Heart – Yagon – 6:04
5. Golden Ratio – In Labyrinth – 4:55

UNDECAYED – Swedish Death Metallers To Release In Death’s Image Debut Album In May

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on March 28, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Cover artwork by renowned artist Jon Zig

Swedish death metal force UNDECAYED will unleash their long-awaited debut album, In Death’s Image, on May 21st, 2025, via Lethal Scissor Records.

Despite their origins, the band eschews the traditional HM-2-driven Swedish sound in favor of a raw and relentless approach deeply rooted in the ferocity of ’90s American death metal, recalling the percussive onslaught of Suffocation and the unholy aggression of Deicide. However, the album does not shy away from the merciless intensity of certain European acts, channeling the sheer force of early Sinister, Aeon and Severe Torture into a blistering assault of unfiltered death worship.

Likely the first album ever released with the word ‘death’ in the title of every song, “In Death’s Image” takes its thematic obsession to another level: in one track, the word for ‘death’ is even sung in 19 different languages. The album’s lyrics paint a grim and absolute vision of annihilation. “Death” arrives on Earth in a physical form, surpassing any concept of a god, to extinguish all existence. No one and nothing is spared: humans, animals, vegetation, water and air, everything dies. There is NO hope for life.

The first single “Death’s Only Demand” is now streaming HERE.

Track-list:

1 – The World Shall Know Only Death
2 – Death’s Only Demand
3 – The Descendants Of Death
4 – In Death’s Image
5 – Death Shall Come (Death Shall Prevail)
6 – Death’s Pallid Coat
7 – World At Death’s Door
8 – Entreating Death In Vain
9 – The Greatest Death

All music composed by Mikael Bergman.
All lyrics written by Tony Richter.
Cover artwork by renowned artist Jon Zig.

Biography:

UNDECAYED was formed in August 2008 by Tony Richter (vocals) and Mikael Bergman (guitars) as a result of lineup issues in their respective bands, 9th Plague and Disromance. The two had played together in several bands throughout the ’90s and early 2000s, most notably Gardens of Obscurity and The Darksend.

Initially, Richter and Bergman were joined by Disromance drummer Johnny Augustsson. Bassist Christoffer Svensson joined in 2009, and in 2014, drummer Jesper Leidbring replaced Augustsson.

Line-up:

Tony Richter – vocals
Mikael Bergman – guitars
Christoffer Svensson – bass
Jesper Leidbring – drums

The idea that every song should include the word “death” in its title emerged in 2010, both to emphasize that this was true DEATH metal and because such a concept had never been done before. The demo The Triumph of Death was recorded in late 2010 and released in January 2011. It was then decided that no further demos would be released before the debut album.

Over the years, family matters, work commitments, health issues, the loss of two rehearsal spaces, and lineup changes all contributed to periods of forced inactivity and delays. It wasn’t until the Covid-19 pandemic that the band was finally able to complete their album “In Death’s Image”.

CIRITH UNGOL – To Release Live At The Roxy, On April 25th Via Metal Blade Records | “Down Below” Video Now Playing + Preorders Available

Posted in Heavy Metal, heavy metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on March 28, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Watch CIRITH UNGOL’s “Down Below” video HERE.

One of the world’s most iconic music venues – the Sunset Strip’s Roxy Theatre – hosted a legendary 2024 gig by one of the world’s most iconic metal bands, CIRITH UNGOL. The one-night-only performance was an album release show for the band’s 2023 Dark Parade LP. It captured the lineup at the height of its considerable powers, performing Dark Parade in its entirety, along with a set of classic songs including “Join The Legion,” “Frost And Fire,” “Black Machine,” and “Atom Smasher.” The end result is a stellar live album and DVD. 

There was no choice other than the Roxy for CIRITH UNGOL to record this momentous live collection. “It’s owned by a Hollywood music legend, Lou Adler,” notes cofounding drummer Rob Garven, “and is next door to the famous Rainbow Bar And Grill. It’s a landmark Hollywood club, which includes the Whisky and The Starwood [now gone] so every time we played one of these historic venues, it was a special occasion. It was great to see many of our friends and fans from all over the world at the show.”

Adds bassist Jarvis Leatherby, “For years, there has been a live bootleg record famous in the underground from their last appearance there in1984 titled Cirith Ungol, Live At The Roxy. I felt it fitting for the band to return there 40 years later to officially document a live performance in a way the guys would be proud of. Metal Blade Records, The Adlers, Nanotear, and Goldenvoice all came together in support to actually make it happen.”

CIRITH UNGOL’s Live At The Roxy holds its own against other legendary live records. “The Who made an extremely powerful album with Live At Leeds, my favorite band of all time, Mountain, had several pretty spectacular live albums, and 1993’s Uriah Heep Live is another outstanding live album! It’s hard to accurately capture all the sound and feeling of a live concert. I think these bands achieved that, and I think our Live At The Roxy does also.”

Live At The Roxy will be released on April 25th via Metal Blade Records. In advance of its official unveiling, today the band presents a taste of the monumental event with video footage of “Down Below.”

Comments Garven, “This song strung together by the haunting acoustic guitar is a gift to all of you on this Doomed Planet! It was, and is, the culmination of all the pain and suffering absorbed into our being from the pandemic, the lost lives, cancelled shows, isolation, and stimuli deprivation. It features some of my best drumming and one of [guitarist] Jimmy [Barraza]’s best solos. As the song rises to the ultimate crescendo, all this pent-up emotion is unleashed on the listener with our final gasping breath. Truly a churning maelstrom of metal chaos descending!”

Watch CIRITH UNGOL’s “Down Below” video HERE.

Live At The Roxy will be available digitally and as a 2xCD/DVD set or 2xLP/DVD set in the following color variants:
