THRON Announce New Single: “The Hunter And The Prey”

Posted in Black Metal, black metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on October 13, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

“The Hunter And The Prey” is taken from THRON’s forthcoming album Vurias – out on October 31, 2025

“The Hunter And The Prey” is now available
on all platforms 

WATCH HERE

“The Hunter & The Prey” finds Thron venturing into uncharted sonic territory. Anchored in their signature blackened metal, the track bursts open with unexpected textures of haunting saxophone passages and the spectral glow of vintage 70s synthesizers. The result is a dark, cinematic journey that blurs the line between primal aggression and otherworldly atmosphere, marking one of the band’s boldest and most evocative statements to date.

DIGITAL: HERE  PHYSICAL: HERE

In March 2023, THRON unleashed their fourth full-length Dust; a sonic testament to their relentless evolution and creative hunger. Hailed by fans and critics alike, ‘Dust’ carved its mark into the underground and beyond, paving the way forward. From the hallowed grounds of Hellfest in Clisson to the thunderous stages of Summer Breeze and Baden In Blut, THRON proved themselves a formidable live force.

Sharing stages with titans such as Amon Amarth, Necrophobic, Pestilence, Carcass, Endstille and more. Embarking on an European tour, the band cemented their reputation as one of the most compelling acts in the modern blackened metal sphere.

Æternia – New Single “Forged In Fire” From Upcoming Album Is Out Now

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

Forged in Fire,” the new single from German Power Metal Masters, Æternia, is out now! The single is the second released from forthcoming album, Into The Golden Halls.

Stream “Forged in Fire” at:

aeternia.bandcamp.com/track/forged-in-fire

Cruz Del Sur Music will release Into The Golden Halls on October 17 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.

Having formed in 2020 with a sole EP making their mark in 2022, entitled The Quest, this wondrous band was born! Combining that epic and monumental sense of grandiosity and melody that you would anticipate from a band like pre-symphonic Blind Guardian or Helloween and adorned by stunning cover artwork by Adam Burke, this promises to be a real gem of the current scene that evokes majesty in every aspect both sonically and visually.

Boldly, the band decided to record and produce the album themselves, so you can feel their hard work ethic in every fibre of this music. A truly monumental debut album that all power metal fans must hear!

The band recorded and produced the record themselves, so every fiber of their album is testimony to their incredibly hard work. A massive sound can be felt that couples blinding guitar riffs and soaring leads atop unbreakable rhythmic battery from the drums and bass altogether held in place by commanding and soulful vocals.

Line-Up:

Sven Hamacher– Bass
Martin Kramer – Guitars
Daniele Gelsomino – Vocals
Hendrik Czirr – Drums
David Ponwitz – Guitars

Spinning lore from both history and a more fantastical realm, this is an epic conquest that you can truly lose yourself in while the musical majesty will keep you bewitched and engaged time and time again. As each spellbinding track flows from the last, you can gaze at the artwork (especially if you buy the vinyl which will include gorgeous colour variants and an A2 poster, plus a four page booklet).

This is one of those pieces of musical history that every single element will draw you in for something more than just a quick background listen.

“Circle The Drain” Single Posted + EU Tour With Darkest Hour Underway

Creator-Destructor Records welcomes Tacoma, Washington-based thrash/crossover crew DENIAL OF LIFE to the label’s savage roster for the release of their new EP, Witness The Power, posting the cover art, track listing, and track “Circle The Drain.”

DENIAL OF LIFE is a metallic hardcore auditory assault forged in the Pacific Northwest. Channeling the speed and venom of Slayer, the primal fury of Sepultura, and the death-soaked grime of Entombed, they deliver a sound that is merciless, unrelenting, and steeped in darkness. With Brenna Gowin’s searing vocals riding the razor-sharp guitar work of Logan Miller and Dante Zickler, the crushing bass of Brian Bernard, and the pulverizing drums of Nick Cody, the band wages war on false hope and hollow promises.

Witness The Power was engineered by Jason Brooks, mixed by Taylor Young at The Pit Recording Studio (Nails, Kruelty, God’s Hate), mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege (Obituary, Internal Bleeding, Creeping Death), and completed with artwork by Stein Hansen.

With the EP’s lead single, the band states, “‘Circle The Drain’ is a love song about mourning a personal relationship and feeling shameful because the loss could have been avoided.”

Witness The Power will be released on 12” vinyl, CD, and digitally, via Creator-Destructor Records on November 7th. A music video, preorders and more will be issued over the coming days.

VESSELES Announces New Album: Home | Unveils Single “Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s Pillars”

Posted in Black Metal, black metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on October 6, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Listen to “Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s PIlars” HERE: https://youtu.be/qcRnH6fi3yE

Symphonic black metal project VESSELES announces the release of its sophomore full-length album Home, arriving January 16th, alongside the unveiling of the record’s seventh track, “Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s Pillars.”

“Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s Pillars” is an ode to the grand tradition of classic symphonic black metal. It is a vehement composition that grapples with the inner fortresses we build to protect ourselves, only to find them transformed into prisons. As relentless as it is majestic, the song marks a lyrical turning point: moving away from searching for solace in one’s origins toward confronting the distress of internal struggle and the elusive quest for peace.

Founded as a personal vessel for Valira, a demon entity navigating existence within the human world, VESSELES fuses cinematic scale with blackened ferocity. Home expands upon the project’s identity-driven narrative, weaving a mythos of belonging, alienation, and ultimate reclamation of power. The album is as much about survival as it is about transcendence, an unflinching exploration of self through sound.

“Home is the sound of returning to a place you’ve never truly known,” says Valira.

With its blend of sweeping orchestration, blistering aggression, and emotional weight, Home establishes VESSELES as one of the most uncompromising voices in contemporary symphonic black metal.

Pre-order Home

https://vesseles.myshopify.com/

Listen to “Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s PIlars” HERE: https://youtu.be/qcRnH6fi3yE

Home – Track List:

  1. Flesh Throne    
  2. Eternally Within Us    
  3. The Beneath    
  4. Home    
  5. They Wither..    
  6. Until They Are Dust    
  7. Scriptures Etched Into the Mind’s Pillars    
  8. Perpetual Chasm of Black Mirrors    
  9. This Is Not Home

About VESSELES:
Founded in 2023, VESSELES is the sonic vessel through which Valira speaks the language of her origins. As composer, orchestrator, and architect, she crafts bleak, incantatory soundscapes that fuse serrated guitars with haunted symphonic textures. Her voice, at once seething and spectral, now rises with increasing clarity, layered across both backing and lead roles in studio and on stage.

This is not performance. It is possession. Through sound, she casts off the human shell and steps fully into her true form: demon, exile, survivor. VESSELES unveiled the debut EP I Am A Demon in 2024, a liturgy of identity dysphoria, rage, and revelation. “Eternally Within Us” follows the recently released 2025 single, “Flesh Throne”.

VESSELES Is:
Valira Pietrangelo – guitar and backing vocals
J Burial (Joel Ferry) – vocals
Ron Graves – bass
Nick Brown – drums

Credits:
Composed by Valira Pietrangelo.
Performed by VESSELES.

KONTUSION’s riffs, blasts, and walls of feedback reflect the darkness of a world marred by chaos, where large scale atrocities run amok. Over the Summer, the band delivered the scathing, decimating, rapid-fire attack of their vile debut LP, Insatiable Lust For Death, its ten tracks immersing the listener in a cavernous, hellish tone, while the relentless riffs and percussion remain impeccably tight.

Recorded by Chris Pierce at Volume IV Studios with additional tracking done at Damaged City Studios, Insatiable Lust For Death was mixed by Kevin Bernsten at Developing Nations, mastered by Nick Townsend at Townsend Mastering, and finished with artwork by Rotting Reign and layout by Aaren Molder.

Montreal Brass Metal Pioneers FALLSTAF Returns 15 Years After Debut With New Album: Ode To The Dead | Out November 2025

Unveil Lyric Video For Title Track

SIMM/Guitars – RICKK /Horns – IANN/Vocals – GOYY/ Bass – MATT/Drums

After nearly a decade of silence, Montreal’s genre-defying metal band Fallstaf is back with a vengeance. Their long-awaited sophomore album, Ode to The Dead, is set for release this Fall 2025, and its first single, the title track, is streaming everywhere alongside a gripping lyric video.

Known as the pioneers of “brass metal,” Fallstaf made waves in 2011 with their debut ‘Bastard Son of a Pure Breed,’ produced by Kevin Jardine (Slaves On Dope). Their signature sound is groove-heavy and progressive metal laced, with trombone, earning them cult status in the Quebec metal scene. Yet in 2016, tragedy struck when frontman IANN suffered a near-fatal accident, leading to the band’s dissolution.

Now, after years of recovery and reflection, Fallstaf has reunited, reignited, and reimagined their sound. Ode to The Dead is a powerful, autobiographical journey through survival, grief, and rebirth. Produced once again by Jardine, the album features seven new tracks that blend sludge, thrash and hardcore influences with melodic hooks and brass-driven chaos.

“This album wasn’t made to impress; it was made out of friendship. Music is therapeutic. Metal brings people together, and we missed that energy,” says the band.

The first single and title track is a tribute to the deceased.

“They are no longer physically here, but they are always in our thoughts; that is the reason for the phrase “they walk among us”. The riff of the chorus gave rise to the rest of the song,” adds the band.

Watch the lyric video for “Ode To The Dead” and experience the rebirth of one of Montreal’s most original metal acts:

Lyric Video – https://youtu.be/GM4EPsLnMlE

Fallstaf’s live shows remain unforgettable: suits and ties, a masked brass player, and a frontman with a robotic leg. “People think we’re a ska band, until the first chord hits,” they laugh. Stay tuned. Fallstaf will be kicking ass live soon!

Album pre-order – https://fallstaf.bandcamp.com/

Track Listing:

  1. Sunless Friday – 2:57
  2. Ode to the Dead – 3:27
  3. Battered Soul – 3:40
  4. Kings of the West Side – 3:31
  5. Under the Same Sky – 3:31
  6. Bastard Son – 3:45
  7. The Burden – 4:41
    Album length: 25:37

HERAKLEION – New Orleans Death Thrash Trio To Release Live Through Eternity On October 16th | Band To Support Cavalera Later This Month  

Posted in Death Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , , on October 3, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

New Orleans death thrash trio HERAKLEION will unleash Live Through Eternity independently on October 16th.

The nine-track live recording was captured on April 17th of this year at Chelsea’s Live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana while supporting Obituary. The album is the entire, unedited, and un-doctored HERAKLEION performance from the evening. It was engineered, mixed, and mastered by Paul Emden. No tracks were added or altered during or after the performance. This is the band, live off the soundboard, and nothing more.

The band comments, “Live Through Eternity captures everything about our live show that we felt the studio albums lack. Every song is faster, angrier, and tighter when we’re onstage. The recording took place at one show and was one continuous take. It wasn’t staged, overdubbed, or compiled over the course of an entire tour, and it wasn’t aligned to a grid. No dead air was cut. No extra crowd noise was added. Nothing was altered. What is on tape is what went on at the show. We’d just come off a tour with Exhorder and were supporting Obituary on this night. We were primed and ready for anything and anyone.”

Live Through Eternity will be released on CD and cassette formats with digital to follow at a later date. Find preorders HERE.

Live Through Eternity – Track Listing:

  1. Herakleion
  2. New Song
  3. The Tomb
  4. Curse Of Eternity
  5. Cryogenic Death
  6. Blood Of Nessus
  7. Obsidian King
  8. Where Crows Dare Not Go
  9. Into… Necroverse

HERAKLEION’s Live Through Eternity will be released in conjunction with a trio of live dates supporting Cavalera. The band will also support Obituary in December and Acid Bath in March with more shows to be confirmed in the weeks to come. See all confirmed dates below.

HERAKLEION Live:
10/16/2025 White Oak Music Hall – Houston, TX w/ Cavalera
10/17/2025 Come And Take It Live – Austin, TX w/ Cavalera
10/18/2025 Ferris Wheeler’s Backyard BBQ – Dallas, TX w/ Cavalera
12/11/2025 The Handlebar – Pensacola, FL
12/12/2025 The Bark – Tallahassee, FL
12/14/2025 The Brass Mug – Tampa, FL w/ Obituary
3/21/2026 The Caverns – Pelham, TN w/ Acid Bath, Obituary SOLD OUT

Fast rising HERAKLEION released their critically adored Necroverse EP independently last Fall. The offering boasts five tracks of living, seething death thrash that serves as the listener’s vessel from the world of mortality into the realm of the dead. Songs focus on the morbid curiosity that humanity has with the afterlife.

HERAKLEION – named after an ancient Egyptian city that was thought to be a myth but was actually discovered underwater in 2000 – was forged in 2020 when drummer Speed Wilson, met guitarist/vocalist Apollo Xydias. Bassist Christian Woerner rounded out the lineup in April of the following year. Influenced by the likes of Morbid Angel, Pestilence, and Voïvod, the band spent the Summer writing and tracked what was intended to be their first demo.

Duane Simoneaux (Crowbar, Down, Exhorder) of OCD Recording And Production was brought in to mix and master those tracks, which saw release as the band’s debut EP, Curse Of Eternity, in February 2022. Since that time, HERAKLEION has been booking itself across the Southeast US to promote their debut, including a handful of small tours with Goatwhore, Skeletal Remains, Exhorder, and more.

DISPOSSESSED infuses elements of sludge, doom, and death metal into a commanding sound rooted in anger, despair, and political resistance. Formed in 2014, the band emerged from Portland’s metal scene with a mission to confront systems of oppression through uncompromising, feedback-driven music.

Their sound combines slow-burning riffs, bleak atmospheres, and a raw, aggressive energy that draws influence from bands like Corrupted, Asunder, Winter, and Grief. Lyrically and thematically, DISPOSSESSED engages directly with issues such as systemic violence, environmental destruction, and carceral injustice, grounding their work in anti-authoritarian ideals.

Back in 2019, DISPOSSESSED released their debut full-length, Exanimate, a searing critique of societal collapse. They returned in 2022 with the “Makhnovshchina” single, continuing to explore revolutionary themes through crushing, emotionally charged compositions.

Black Metal Trio WILD BEYOND Announce New EP: Black Sites In Lower Chambers

Posted in Black Metal, black metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on October 3, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Black Sites In Lower Chambers showcases WILD BEYOND‘s signature speed and frenzied riffs that evoke the frosty atmosphere of first and second waves of black metal. There is more to the band’s sound as WILD BEYOND‘s edges are sharpened with a chaotic, yet melodic, thrash attack. Vocalist/guitarist Edward Gonet spews venom-coated lyrics that explore the intersection of the occult with the military industrial complex, and other esoteric ephemera.

WILD BEYOND’s Black Sites In Lower Chambers is a predominantly self-recorded EP. The tracks were recorded in abyssal basements and smoky rehearsal rooms in order to capture the intensity of the band’s live performance on the EP.

The EP also concludes with a cover of DIMMU BORGIR’s “Spellbound (By The Devil),” with its pummeling drums and meticulous keyboards faithfully recreated by drummer Evan Madden and bassist Jimmy Viola.

Black Sites In Lower Chambers is set to be unveiled on October 17, 2025, via Fiadh Productions.

Black Sites In Lower Chambers – Track Listing:

  1. Dream State Abductions (instrumental)
  2. Slaughtering The Lion
  3. Thy Entrance, Night
  4. Visions Before The Seizure
  5. Spellbound (By The Devil)

About WILD BEYOND:
Philadelphia’s black metal trio WILD BEYOND explore vast atmospheres through black metal with the enhanced ferocity of thrash influences. WILD BEYOND‘s story begins with an impulse purchase of a Randy Rhoads Flying V guitar by Gonet (DEAVA, ex-INFERNAL STRONGHOLD), that kicked off a creative compulsion of songwriting in this dark, yet intense style.

Introduced a year later to Jimmy Viola and Evan Madden (ex-WOE and WOODS OF YPRES), the trio soon embarked on bringing Gonet’s demos to life. The result, was the 2023 debut album Wild Beyond, released via Cruz Del Sur/Gates Of Hell records. Black Sites In Lower Chambers follows the full-length in a blaze of ominous eccentricity. 

WILD BEYOND:
Edward Gonet III: Vocals, guitars, lyrics
Evan Madden: Drums
Jimmy Viola: Bass, keyboards, additional guitars

FINNR’S CANE – Releases Fourth Album, a Self-Titled Debut With Nordvis Produktion

Posted in ambient music, Black Metal, doom metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , , on September 30, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

The mystic Canadians Finnr’s Cane returns with their self-titled fourth album, a haunting and introspective journey through the frozen landscapes of the mind. Released in the US on September 26th, the album marks their debut with renowned label Nordvis Produktion, and is a powerful continuation of their unique blend of atmospheric black metal, doom, and ambient music.

North American fans can order it now here:

LP: https://us.nordvis.com/products/finnrs-lp

CD: https://us.nordvis.com/products/finnrs-cd

(Please note: these orders are now processed and shipped from the US.)

Hailing from the icy expanse of Sudbury, Ontario, Finnr’s Cane has always operated on the fringes, letting their music speak for itself. The band has forged a distinctive sound by forgoing a traditional bass in favor of the melancholic, resonant tones of a cello. This unconventional instrumentation, combined with an improvisational songwriting approach, creates an organic, almost ritualistic quality to their music.

Their new album, arriving just in time for the end of summer and rise of the autumn, delves deep into themes of nature, introspection, and the spiritual connection to the land. It is an album that unfolds slowly, building from somber acoustic passages to powerful, distorted crescendos. The cello remains a central pillar, providing a deep, mournful resonance that sets their sound apart. 

For fans of Agalloch, Wolves in the Throne Room, and Fen, this record is a compelling exploration of liminal spaces and the sacred elements of the wilderness.

About STYGIAN BOUGH:

In our human minds, according to the Law of Contagious Magic as described in The Golden Bough by anthropologist James Frazer, contact between two objects creates an inseparable thread between them. A gift from a dead friend forever holds this magic like a scar reflecting a wound. Similarly, a piece of food that touches the floor is suddenly abject and rotten.

Pairing this notion with the Law of Similarity Magic, as described by Frazer, where an object resembling another can share its power, a musical notion can be understood to serve as an unbodied conduit of such magics; an emotional contact between the music and audience wherein such sorcery threads an inseparable seam that, for a time, resemble each other.

Aptly named in reference to the aforementioned book, Stygian Bough, the collaboration between Bell Witch (Dylan Desmond, Jesse Shreibman) and Aerial Ruin (Erik Moggridge) enlivens its unbodied presence resembling both projects as a conduit in its own separate entity.

The partnership at the center of Stygian Bough is over in a decade in the making, growing from Moggridge’s recurring contributions to the Bell Witch catalog. Their initial collusion occurring on the debut Bell Witch album Longing (2012) following which, Moggridge would return to guest on both Four Phantoms (2015) and Mirror Reaper (2017).

Canadian Thrashers TRISKELYON Announces 4th Studio Album Maelstrom of Chaos – Out November 2025

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

Streaming Single “Blood Drowned Prophecy” ft. Liv Jagrell (Liv Sin)

Canada’s undisputed Thrash Metal Gods Triskelyon return with their long-awaited 4th full-length, Maelstrom of Chaos, a relentless storm of speed, fury, and precision due out on November 28th, via Moribund Records.

Formed in 2021 by guitarist Geoff Waye of the acclaimed True Metal band Category VI, Triskelyon came roaring out of the gate with their self-titled EP and landed a deal with Moribund Records for their chart-crushing debut, Downfall (2022). They followed with the bone-splitting Artificial Insanity (2023), dominating radio for six weeks, followed by the apocalyptic Shattered Elysium (2024). Each release bigger, faster, heavier… and now comes the ultimate Thrash onslaught “Maelstrom of Chaos”.

Single – “Blood Drowned Prophecy” (ft. guest vocals Liv Jagrell from Liv Sin) – https://youtu.be/FikcpI8IGBE

For Maelstrom of Chaos, mastermind Geoff Waye once again summons an all-star cast of metal warriors from the Canadian scene and from the global scene. Enlisting the vocal talents of guests Liv Jagrell (Liv Sin), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), James Delbridge (Lycanthro), Carolina Padrón (Tribus, Bloodrain), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), and Pete Healey (Marshall Law, Ex Oberon), this album reigns as a true Thrash Metal masterpiece. 

On drums, the thunder is split between Raul Marques (Burning Torment) and Nicole Trinchero (Chaos Rising, Acroma)while bass devastation comes courtesy of Dwayne Pike (Afterforever), Rick White (Within the Realm, Exorcist), and Darrin Pope.

In true Triskelyon fashion, expect more than Thrash – this is a molten fusion of Thrash, Speed, Power, Death-Thrash, and Traditional Metal. Wild and impressive, explosive riffs, razor-sharp solos, and skull-crushing rhythms resurrect the glory of the ‘80s while forging it into something bigger, louder, and deadlier for today.

In keeping with Triskelyon‘s tradition of closing their albums with an iconic cover, this release delivers the heaviest Metal rendition of Peter Schilling’s mega-hit “Major Tom” that the world will ever hear!

Maelstrom of Chaos is not just an album – it’s a Thrash Metal supernova. Brace yourself.

FULL HOUSE BREW CREW Announce New Album Glasgow Grin | Drop Video Single “No Gods, No Chains”

Posted in Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , on September 27, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

European Tour Dates in Support of WOLFHEART Posted Below

Greek heavy groove juggernaut Full House Brew Crew have announced the release of their brand-new studio album Glasgow Grin, set to arrive on February 6th, 2026 via ROAR! The US release will follow on March 6th, 2026.

Pre-orders for the record are available now: https://fhbc.rpm.link/glasgowPR

To mark the occasion, the band unleashes the crushing first single “No Gods, No Chains”, accompanied by an official video that sets the tone for what’s to come. The band comments: “We are not slowing down. We are not compromising. We are only getting started!”

Stream / Downloadhttps://fhbc.rpm.link/NGNCPR

Flmed at Atlas Audio & Visual Studios and produced by Domenik Papaemmanouil – Lensorama, the video for “No Gods, No Chains” is now premiering HERE

With their upcoming new album Glasgow Grin, Full House Brew Crew are back with a vengeance. Led by frontman and guitarist Vagelis Karzis, (current member of Wolfheart and former guitarist of Rotting Christ), the band is ready to unleash their signature brand of American-inspired Heavy Groove Metal on familiar and new audiences.

Glasgow Grin reflects the band’s current violent state of mind: pure aggression and power throughout. “We let ourselves loose and did what felt natural to us, not trying to push the songwriting in any direction other than what fits best for the song,” says Karzis. For the first time, the band worked with Finnish sound engineer Saku Moilanen at Deep Noise Studios, who mixed and mastered Glasgow Grin.

Lyrically, Vagelis digs deep into internal struggles, day-to-day battles, and personal injustices, always channeling tension and anger. “Like always, the band is moving towards a direction that feels best for us. That is the main reason we always evolve, we make changes, we take risks and that excites us. We created many albums and each represents a different musical state. Glasgow Grin is our proudest piece of work so far. We worked more like a team and didn’t hold back for any mainstream reasons.”

Glasgow Grin – Track Listing:
 1. Glasgow Grin
 2. No Gods, No Chains
 3. The Tear
 4. The Other Side
 5. Free Fall
 6. Rain
 7. From The Gutter
 8. Distant Star
9. Crawling 
10. Reign of Terror

MESSA – Italian Doom Metallers Unveil Video For “Reveal” | European Tour With Paradise Lost To Begin Next Month

Posted in doom metal, Heavy Metal, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Italian doom metal outfit MESSA are pleased to unveil their new video for “Reveal.” The track comes off the band’s critically-adored new full-length, The Spin, released in April via Metal Blade Records.

Based in the band’s eclectic, self-defined “scarlet doom” sound, The Spin rises, falls, broods, bites, comforts, and destroys, all the while resounding with both instinctive magic and obsessive, concerted hard work. After lighting up the underground with a triptych of increasingly distinctive and wondrous records as 2016’s Belfry, 2018’s Feast For Water, and 2022’s Close, with The SpinMESSA is audibly equipped for the proverbial big leagues.

Comments the band on their “Reveal” video, “The main riff in ‘Reveal’ manifested itself spontaneously. Our guitar player Alberto dreamed of it one night. He suddenly woke up at 4:00am and recorded it with his phone so he wouldn’t forget it. It was the most immediate song to write out of all those we wrote for The Spin and it features two key elements: the typical, ‘blues’ use of slide guitar and the ‘metal’ element of the blastbeats. This video was entirely shot with analog equipment in a tire warehouse in our hometown. We chose the lo-fi aesthetic on purpose, using the dynamism of strobe and neon lights. We tried to make it as spontaneous as the songwriting process for the track.”

Watch MESSA’s video for “Reveal” HERE.

Watch MESSA’s previously released video for “At Races” HERE, “The Dress” HERE, and “Fire On The Roof”HERE.

The Spin was partly recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered by Maurizio “Icio” Baggio and includes synth work by Andrea Mantione (Nuovo Testamento) on “Fire On The Roof” and cover art by Nico Vascellari (Uroboro, 2023. Nero Portoro marble, tire. 57 x 57 x 10 cm).

The record is available now on CD, vinyl, and digital formats at metalblade.com/messa.

Next month, MESSA will serve as direct support to Paradise Lost on a month-long European trek.

TORTURE HAMMER – Santa Cruz Death Metal Squad To Release Eponymous EP Via Creator-Destructor Records On October 24th

Posted in Death Metal, death metal bands, Metal, metal bands, metal music, Music, music news, news with tags , , , , , , on September 26, 2025 by Metal Odyssey

Title Track, Preorders, And Tour Dates With All Shall Perish Posted

Stream TORTURE HAMMER’s “Torture Hammer” HERE.

Santa Cruz, California-based death metal squad TORTURE HAMMER will attack the population with their cruel, eponymous second EP through Creator-Destructor Records on October 24th.

After writing and releasing 2024’s Dormant Horror debut EP as a two-piece, TORTURE HAMMER vocalist Peter Pawlak and guitarist Sean Collins added drummer Max Mahmood (Iron Front, Manos De Fierro) and bassist Amir Sahabi (Caveman). With this fully fleshed-out lineup in place, the band stepped-up their game in every way on Torture Hammer.

The six tracks on Torture Hammer see the band’s attack fueled with even more aggression and antagonism, delivering their most deadly material to date. Torture Hammer was recorded, mixed, and mastered by Charles Toshio at Panda Studios in Fremont, California (Spy, Sunami, and Scowl) and completed with cover art by Martyrdoom Illustrations (200 Stab Wounds, Kruelty, Morbid Visionz).

The title track acts as the lead single to the eponymous EP; an endless onslaught of headbanging riffs leads the listener through a hellish scene before culminating in a traumatic, mosh-inducing breakdown finale.
