WATCH 'Abuse' music video: https://youtu.be/m2HwICPU3WA

The band comments: 

"Abuse show's the narrator’s perspective on the conflict in which they want to break free from a person, yet at the same time want to keep that person under their control. The narrator has an obsession with control.

Alternatively, it could be that the other person does not exist at all, and the narrator is actually a voice inside the listener’s head — a kind of inner demon — telling the listener how it wants to get rid of them, while simultaneously keeping them in its grasp."

Stream more from DEGRAVED on Apple Music and Spotify.

Inhabiting a space between the soulless mists of the Pacific Northwest and the haunting rains of Mexico City, Degraved have re-emerged with their first full-length offering. Spectral Realm of Ruin brings the same seismic passages and eerie atmospheres that those familiar with the band’s early material will recognize, but captivatingly and meticulously expanded upon. Bludgeoning blast beats and relentless guitar riffs conjure a dark backdrop for the hellish, bestial vocal torment seeping with mirth for the atrocities of modern life. Slower passages and synthesizer accoutrements add an eldritch atmosphere to the picture, descending the listener into an unforgettable and sometimes furiously catchy proper debut.

Degraved harnesses the 90s Death Metal sound gloriously, mixing classic homages and maniacal hooks that will grab the unsuspecting and drag them along with hate and indignity. In the riffs, one can hear the influence of Morbid Angel and Immolation, and less obtuse references such as Slugathor and Cianide. Hell, some sections channel the corruptive influence of bands like Demoncy or Blaspherian. Produced by the band at their home studio, the sonically dark production, driving grooves and seriously killer art lend to its old school charm. Between the ripping armageddon, you will find dreary atmosphere, well-placed solos, and interesting hooks that all showcase a fierce dedication to the craft of creating what can only be described as pure Death Metal.

DISCOVERY THROUGH TORMENT RELEASE "TELESYNTHETIC REBIRTH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Discovery Through Torment

Telesynthetic Rebirth - Out Dec 5th

Self Release

5 December 2025

Known for their brutal fusion of slam, blackened deathcore, and sci-fi-infused storytelling, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC, Canada's rising force, Discovery Through Torment, has carved a distinct niche in Canada’s underground metal scene and will be unleashing their new EP ""Telesynthetic Rebirth" on December 5th, 2025, to follow their previous albums The Mangled God (2022) and Divine in Blood (2020).

"Telesynthetic Rebirth" is a concept-driven EP that plays out like a descent into divine collapse and engineered genocide. The lyrics follow a fictional, video game-inspired narrative where a fallen deity gives way to a new force that abducts humans, reshapes them into telepathic killing machines, and unleashes them in a genocidal conquest of Earth. Musically, the EP alternates between towering, atmospheric tracks and suffocating heaviness, creating a dynamic listening experience that’s both brutal and immersive.

For fans of Abominable Putridity, Carnifex, Mental Cruelty, Lorna Shore.

More Info:

"Telesynthetic Rebirth" launches with “Dethronement,” a sweeping and cinematic opener that heralds the downfall of the Mangled God, a brutal, tyrannical figure defined by torture and violence. This track sets the EP’s epic tone, which pulses throughout the release. The intensity escalates with “Arcane Inception,” a relentlessly heavy and aggressive piece that introduces the rise of a new force, one that begins abducting humanity by targeting the most impressionable, dubbed “malleable respondents.” The third track, “Veil Unfurling,” shifts back into atmospheric territory, pairing a soaring chorus with lyrics laced in clinical, medical-inspired language that romanticize the transformation of captives into telepathic servants. “Lesions” then delivers the EP’s most brutal blow, with rapid-fire vocals and a twisted chorus that warns the remaining humans of their impending doom. The closing track, “First Encounter Assault Regiment,” returns to epic scale, unleashing the full scope of the genocidal plan as telepathic legions march forward. Ending on a cliffhanger, the lyrics hint at a possible regime reversal, leaving the narrative open for future exploration.

The EP also includes two subtle nods to the original F.E.A.R. video game: the final track’s title riffs on the game’s acronym, while “Veil Unfurling” features a hidden line from Paxton Fettel. Interestingly, the lyrics for “Veil Unfurling” were penned during a binge of House M.D., lending them a cold, clinical edge. Most of the synth work was crafted by guitarist Sam in his pyjamas, experimenting with Native Instruments to build the EP’s eerie soundscapes. Instrument tracking was completed in just four days, while vocals were recorded externally and independently to allow for greater precision and emotional depth.

"Telesynthetic Rebirth" follows the band’s acclaimed releases "Divine in Blood" (2020) and "The Mangled God" (2022), which earned them recognition for their uncompromising heaviness and thematic depth. With members known from acts like Deadwood, Fall of Stasis, and Ignominy, Discovery Through Torment brings a wealth of experience and intensity to both studio and stage.

The EP’s artwork, drenched in ominous reds and desolate landscapes, mirrors the sonic and lyrical themes, hinting at the origins of the lone figure at its center and the chaos to come.

Fans of Abominable Putridity, Carnifex, Mental Cruelty, and Lorna Shore will find much to devour in this release. Raw, guttural, and groovy, "Telesynthetic Rebirth" promises a listening experience that’s as devastating in a full spin as it is in a playlist shuffle.

VACUA RELEASE "MATER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: VACUA

Album: Mater

Release Date: November 7th, 2025

Country: Italy

Genre: Black Metal

Label: Hidden Marly Production

Italian black metal band VACUA will release their highly anticipated debut full-length album, "Mater", internationally on November 7th via Japanese label Hidden Marly Production.

VACUA comment on Mater:

"VACUA rise from the depths of underground, pagan, and esoteric Rome with their debut album "Mater". Following the release of their debut EP, “Mater” includes seven Black Metal tracks (and a brief Interlude) defined by a style that is both melodic and aggressive, featuring memorable hooks and relentless tempos. This time, the production is modern and no more raw/lo-fi (unlike the debut EP). The album reconnects us with Mother Earth and our essence as ephemeral beings, while also confronting the mistakes of our species. Constant violation of Mother Earth and Her consequential desperate self-destruction is the main theme, sung in Italian. It is also a tribute to those who worshipped Nature by glorifying It and offering themselves as earthly tribute—like the "Janare", the typical witches of Southern Italy."

Album track listing:

1. Falce dei Reietti

2. Dies Funeris Terrae

3. Dissolto

4. Agoraphobia

5. Interlude

6. Rantoli nel Buio

7. Trasmigrazione

8. Aura Glaciale

VACUA is a black metal band from Rome, Italy, formed in 2023. That same year, in December, they released their self-titled debut EP, delivering a raw medieval black metal sound with shades of DSBM and a dungeon synth outro. Lyrically, the work revolves around inner conflicts and the thirst for vengeance of a Janara—a witch figure rooted in Southern Italian medieval folklore. Throughout 2024 and 2025, VACUA shared the stage with several acts including Sociasylum (Estonia), Rats Will Feast (Finland), and Italian bands such as Wizard Master, Svart Vinter, Brainsore, and Black Motel Six. On October 15th 2025 they will open for Unholy Altar (USBM) in Pescara, Italy. On October 18th 2025, the band will perform at Rome Carnage Extreme Fest III, alongside headliners Desaster (Germany) and other Italian extreme acts including Infernal Angels, Dr Gore, Sonum, and Grief Prophecy. VACUA have recently signed with the Japanese label Hidden Marly Production for the release of their first full-length album, Mater, set to be released on November 7th 2025, on CD and across all digital platforms.

PRESS RELEASE:

SIRIUS Take Fans to the “Edge of the World” in New Live Video

Athens, Greece – November 5, 2025 – Heavy/power metal veterans SIRIUS are proud to announce the release of their high-energy official video for the track, "Edge of the World." The song is a standout track from their critically acclaimed debut full-length album, A Quest for Life, out now worldwide via WormholeDeath Records.

"Edge of the World" has quickly solidified its place as a fan favorite, driven by its combination of heavy, cutting guitars, a massive wall-of-sound rhythm section, and an irresistible, sing-along chorus.

The official video is a direct testament to the band’s powerful live presence, featuring footage captured during their A Quest for Life album release party. Every frame vividly captures the electric atmosphere and mutual energy shared between the band and their devoted audience that night.

Watch the Official Video for "Edge of the World" here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3TDkHtYJ94

About A Quest For Life

A Quest for Life marks SIRIUS’s long-awaited full-length debut, delivering a powerful statement that defines modern heavy/power metal. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered by producer David Prudent at Made in Hell Studios, who focused on achieving a massive, organic sound—with "no triggers, no A.I., just pure metal."

The record is a comprehensive blend of everything the band stands for, packed with anthemic choruses, unstoppable twin-guitar riffs, and a crushing rhythm section. Further cementing its status as a must-hear release, the album features guest contributions from metal icons Tim “Ripper” Owens and Derek Sherinian, with striking artwork by Jon Toussas (Graphic no Jutsu).

About SIRIUS

Formed in Athens, Greece, in 2007 and led by guitarist and vocalist Dimitris Napas, SIRIUS quickly established themselves as a formidable force in the Greek metal scene. After refining their lineup, they released their debut EP, Wings of Fire, in 2017, celebrating with a sold-out show.

They have since built a strong live presence, performing at festivals such as Under the Quarry and sharing the stage with artists like Luke Appleton (Iced Earth).

A Quest for Life is a testament to the band's persistent dedication and marks their powerful return via WormholeDeath Records.

Last May, Sirius won the Rockwave Festival competition and performed at Greece’s biggest metal festival, sharing the stage with Savatage and Michael Schenker.
