ABANDON AGONY RELEASE "ENDBRINGER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: ABANDON AGONY

Album: Endbringer

Release Date: May 22, 2026

Country: Sweden

Genre: Melodic Death Metal

Swedish melodic death metal band ABANDON AGONY have set May 22, 2026, as the international release date for their highly anticipated debut full-length album Endbringer. Following the release of their debut EP “Dark Matter” in 2024, now reissued as part of their ongoing cycle, all tracks from the EP will also appear on the upcoming album.

"Endbringer is a reflection of everything we’ve built as a band so far – darker, heavier, and more focused. The album moves through themes of inner conflict, collapse, transformation and rebirth, both on a personal level and in a broader sense.

We all come from slightly different musical backgrounds, which naturally shapes the way we write and approach our sound. While melodic death metal is the closest way to describe it, we’ve never aimed to stay within strict boundaries – it’s more about capturing a certain intensity and atmosphere than fitting into a specific genre." - says the band

DEVOID OF THOUGHT RELEASE "DEVOID OF THOUGHT"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Devoid of Thought

Devoid of Thought

Label: Unorthodox Emanations

Release date: April 24, 2026

Formats: CD / LP / Digital

Country: Italy

Genre: death metal

Making heads turn since 2016 with the old school yet progressive cosmic death metal exposed in their demos, EPs and split with Undeath and Into Coffin, Italy's Devoid Of Thought released their debut full-length album 'Outer World Graves' via Everlasting Spew Records in 2021. Between 2022 and 2025 the band focused on live activities, playing a number of prime festivals and shows such as Frantic Fest, Brutal Assault, Stige Fest, several European tours with Artificial Brain and Ad Nauseam and supported bands like Beherit, Necrot, Suffering Hour and many more…

Combining influences from bands like Timeghoul, Blood Incantation, Voivod and Incantation in a unique, bizarre and twisted vortex, the Italian quartet is now ready to celebrate its tenth year of existence with their sophomore studio record, self-titled 'Devoid of Thought'.

From outer world graves, where stars go to die and the effigies of distant planets are found, the portal has now opened toward a quantum leap, placed at the incipit of the end. The panspermic biodome is a colorful multiverse, awash in stellar life and boiling with transformation. Time here represents an entropic euphoria and is no longer a mortal clock. From a putrescent mire, a new form of life is born, endowed with an unprecedented shell, different from that of any known species. Consciousness is now ready to cross the cosmos once again and navigate through oblivion, until returning to a new beginning, in order to experience itself into many forms.

Unorthodox Emanations will release 'Devoid of Thought' on CD, LP and digital on April 24, 2026.
