CONJURIST RELEASE "I AM THE EARTH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Nashville, TN – Rising from the underground with a sound as immersive as it is unrelenting, atmospheric extreme metal project CONJURIST has officially released their debut full-length album, I Am The Earth , on Friday the 13th, March 2026.

Clocking in at just under 40 minutes across 10 tracks, I Am The Earth is a dense and dynamic sonic journey that blurs the lines between melodic death metal, post-black and blackgaze, doom, and hardcore. Written and recorded by Blake Bailey and brought to life through mixing and mastering by Robbie Bingham, the album delivers a carefully crafted balance of technical precision, raw intensity, and haunting atmosphere.

CONJURIST’s music dives deep beyond surface-level aggression, pulling listeners into a conceptual world steeped in mysticism, ancient history, mythology, and existential reflection. Themes of ritual, primal energy, and humanity’s connection to the Earth run throughout the record, giving it both a cerebral and visceral weight.

This vision extends into the band’s visual identity as well. The music video for the track “Solace for the Shaman” features members adorned in animal skull masks, evoking ritualistic imagery and a raw connection to something ancient and otherworldly. It’s not just music, it’s an experience rooted in symbolism and atmosphere.

Sonically, CONJURIST channels a wide range of influences while carving out something distinctly their own. Fans of bands like Gojira , Fallujah , Alcest , Meshuggah , Pallbearer , Converge , and Acid Bath will find familiar elements woven into the project’s expansive sound.

Early reactions are already highlighting the album’s unique identity. Mark’s Metal Minute praised the release, stating:

“This album is heavy, atmospheric, and weird in the best way. Musically it lives somewhere between blackened metal, doom, experimental, and extreme metal. The riffs seem ancient — slow, crushing sections suddenly explode into faster chaos. The theme leans hard into Earth, ritual, and ancient power. It feels primal.”

With I Am The Earth , CONJURIST doesn’t just introduce themselves, they make a statement. This is a band unafraid to push boundaries, blending genres and ideas into something that feels both timeless and forward-thinking.

The album is available now on all major streaming platforms. https://linktr.ee/Conjurist

For fans of: Atmospheric extremity, conceptual depth, and genre-defying metal that hits as hard as it haunts.

REIGN OF ECHOS RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO "STATIC VEIN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

California Modern Metal REIGN OF ECHOS' New Single “Static Vein” Dives Deep In The Struggle of Our Inner Demons

Southern California’s rising modern‑metal force Reign of Echos has released their highly anticipated second single and lyric video, “Static Vein,” recently released on March 13, 2026. The track follows the band’s January debut, “Blindside,” which introduced their signature blend of crushing heaviness, cinematic atmosphere, and emotionally charged storytelling.

​Formed in 2025, Reign of Echos, featuring Randy Lee (guitar/lead vocals), Rob (bass/backing vocals), and Dustin (drums/backing vocals), has rapidly emerged as one of the most focused and creatively driven new metal acts to come out of Apple Valley in Southern California. Their chemistry was immediate, their writing process naturally seamless, and their shared vision unmistakable: to craft music that is creative, unique, powerful, driven, and relentlessly hard‑hitting.

The band aims to deliver a listening experience that feels deeply relatable, intensely energetic, and adrenaline‑charged, building not just songs but a full‑scale sonic experience. This project also marks the first time Randy has written using a 7‑string guitar, expanding the band’s tonal range and adding new depth to their evolving sound.

​​“Static Vein” dives deep into the universal struggle against inner demons and the lingering darkness that exists within all of us. The band describes the track as a collision of madness, tension, and hope, with the music mirroring the internal battle portrayed in the lyrics.

​​“Static Vein was exciting for us to release as it is more of a presentation of our style of music. The song will be relatable to a wide audience while we all have struggled with some type of inner demon,” says Lee.

​Musically, the track pushes the trio into more intricate territory while maintaining the raw intensity that defines their sound. The accompanying music video amplifies the song’s themes with powerful, eye‑catching visuals that tell the story in a single, striking image.

​The band’s debut single, “Blindside,” set the tone for their arrival, an explosive track born from real‑life betrayal and emotional upheaval.

​​“Blindside was our first song written together. The song came out so effortlessly since one of us had just encountered a betrayal that was perfect for a song lyrically and musically,” adds Lee.

​With both singles now out, fans are getting their first real look into the band’s upcoming EP, featuring six of their most powerful and cohesive tracks to date, with a full album to follow. Listeners can expect raw emotion, crushing grooves, modern creative edge, and a relentless commitment to pushing their sound even further.

Recommended for fans of Lamb of God, Gojira, Korn, Mudvayne, and Trivium, listen to both singles at the following links:

HARMS RELEASE "REBIRTH OF THE COLD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Finnish purveyors of atmospheric heaviness and recent Time To Kill Records signees HARMS will release their second full-length album, "Rebirth of the Cold", on May 8th 2026.

The first single "True Night Falls" is now available:

YouTube: https://youtu.be/2tFEEQfttH8

Streaming: https://ffm.to/harms-true-night-falls

Commenting on the song, the band explain:

"'True Night Falls' is a presentation of the emptiness one can find in the darkest moments. Crushing parts intertwine with the haunting melodies to form a gripping sense of unyielding loneliness. The song captures the weight of being trapped in one’s own mind, when exhaustion and despair make every thought feel heavy and pointless. It moves through a dark, unending night where nothing offers guidance or comfort, and by the end, a part of oneself feels lost forever".

With "Rebirth of the Cold", HARMS move deeper into darkness: heavier, more melodic, and more aggressive than before. The music feels colder and more intense, built around tension and collapse, where moments of bleak beauty are sharpened and the weight of the band’s sound hits harder than ever. At times, their approach can be seen as an ingenious fusion of post-metal expansiveness, blackened contours and a fierce metallic hardcore edge, shaping a sound that is both emotionally immersive and physically punishing. Lyrically, the album continues their exploration of meaninglessness, emptiness, and decay, colored by reflections on time, space, and mortality: a meditation in grief, stripped of comfort and illusion, searching for what remains when nothing holds meaning.

Tracklist:

01.Endlessness

02.Serpentine calling

03.True night falls

04.Flowerless grave

05.A lifetime spent on dying

06.Rupture

07.Essence of sorrow

08.Apollonia

09.Cold aeon of time

10.Reprise

Preorders:

https://weareharms.bandcamp.com/album/rebirth-of-the-cold

Formed in 2017 in Lappeenranta, Finland, HARMS have forged a distinctive identity rooted in crushing heaviness, atmospheric darkness, and raw emotional intensity. Drawing inspiration from the endless cold and shadow of the north, the five-piece crafts sonic landscapes that shift between overwhelming force and desolate, melodic beauty.

Their debut album, “A Lifetime Spent on Dying” (2021), was met with strong critical acclaim, earning praise from Finnish media as “one of the strongest domestic metal albums of the year” (Kaaoszine) and for its “dark, crushing and impressively multifaceted take on modern metal” (Imperiumi).

With Time To Kill Records now backing their next chapter, HARMS are poised to push their sound further into inevitable ruin, delivering their most immersive and uncompromising work to date with "Rebirth of the Cold".

Discography:

- Eternal Frost Of The Northern Soul, double-single CD, 2018

- A Lifetime Spent On Dying, full-length album, 2021

- Rupture / Essence of Sorrow, double-single 8", 2024

HERIOT RELEASE "DEVOURED BY THE MOUTH OF HELL" DELUXE EDITION

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The UK's most exciting new heavy band, HERIOT, have unveiled a new single, 'Master of Deceit', alongside a deluxe version of their globally-acclaimed debut album, Devoured by the Mouth of Hell (Century Media).

HERIOT comment: "‘Master of Deceit’ is centred around the idea of the human experience being diminished through pressures of conformity and fear. It touches on how individualism is being lessened as we’re being pushed to disregard our own experiences, emotions and beliefs. The song poses the question of ‘how far are we willing to go before there’s no turning back?’

2.Harm Sequence 01:49

3.Opaline 03:21

4.Siege Lord 03:25

5.Sentenced to the Blade 02:45

6.Solvent Gaze 02:55

10.Mourn 04:35

11.Commander of Pain 04:45

12.Master of Deceit 04:00

Tracks 1-10: full studio album

Tracks 11-12: new tracks (Deluxe Edition)

Since the release of their 2020 single “Cleansed Existence”, Bristol’s industrial metalcore hellraisers HERIOT have been touted by artists, journalists and fans alike as extreme music’s next breakout prospect.

“Devoured by the Mouth of Hell” doesn’t just double down on the crushing claustrophobia of HERIOT’s prior material – it also includes ideas that they previously hadn’t touched.

Openers “Foul Void” and “Harm Sequence” prove that with a dizzying one-two punch, the first song being a powerhouse of groove with melodic touches, whereas the second’s a full-tilt metalcore rampage. Elsewhere, such standouts as “Opaline” and “Visage” take the ambient tones HERIOT previously only hinted at and build complete songs out of them. The band still sound as raw and direct as ever, yet there’s a refinement that can only come from their sheer drive to make something worthy of all the hype around them. The attention inspired HERIOT to focus as intently on their instruments and their craft as they possibly could, and “Devoured by the Mouth of Hell” was meticulously honed through months of writing and recording.

Composing and demoing alone took almost a year – then, once the band entered the studio in early 2024, they sought help from a who’s who of modern metal. Sylosis leader and ex-Architects guitarist Josh Middleton produced, while Justin Hill of prog metal luminaries Sikth engineered the drums and Grammy award winning Will Putney (who plays in metal/hardcore heavyweights End, Fit For An Autopsy and Better Lovers) mixed.

Check out the two new singles which show a mix of Bolt Thrower, Lamb of God and crunchy 90s metallic hardcore.

HERIOT have created a dense, oppressive yet diverse masterpiece. Their momentum will only continue to steamroll once the metal masses have heard their new ideas, and it won’t be long before the band rocket from metal’s brightest ‘rising stars’ to simply ‘stars’ in their own right. 

released February 13, 2026

“A Testament to DIY Spirit and Emotional Honesty”

After years of grinding in the underground, Me And All My Demons represents the culmination of Jawfane’s intense DIY ethic, unfiltered storytelling, and genre-bending sound. Originally self-produced, the EP was re-recorded and finalized in partnership with Exitus Stratagem Records, bringing the band’s vision to life with new power and clarity.

“We are absolutely beyond words for how excited we are to bring our first collection of songs into the world with and through Exitus Stratagem Records,” shares the band. “This record is a personal journey. Sonically, we brought the hammer. Lyrically, we brought a bigger hammer—and we intend to beat out a place in the world for us and our brand of metalcore.”

New Single & Video: “Time Hunts Us All”

Jawfane’s newest single “Time Hunts Us All” is the band’s fastest, most intense track to date—layered with intricate vocal harmonies and crushing rhythms. Thematically, it envisions time as a villain, a reaper chasing down all of us with relentless purpose.

“We pushed ourselves musically,” the band explains. “‘Time Hunts Us All’ is the fastest Jawfane song by a mile, contains the most vocals, and is in a key we don’t use often. It actually started as part of Austin’s audition—he didn’t write the lyrics, but he owns every word of his part. It really shows how collaborative our process is.”

The music video captures Jawfane’s signature blend of chaos and catharsis, delivering a hard-hitting message for anyone who’s ever felt invalidated, unseen, or unheard .
