PRESS RELEASE:
Relentlessly pummeling and delivering old-school thrash vibes with modern production values, UK thrashers CHUPACABRA are primed to release their debut EP, Fortified with Ashes, on August 4.
A lyric video for opening track "Burn The Clowns" is available at: youtu.be/9cwV6sfVgXs

CHUPACABRA is the new project from three battle-scarred members of Bristol's flourishing metal scene.

Heather Taylor reveals layers of herself threaded through the songs on a journey of venting unbound rage, breaking conditioned compliance and growing a new authentic skin.

PRESS RELEASE:
Metal Injection is hosting the exclusive video premiere of “The Culmination Of Years Of Self-Abuse,” the latest single from harsh drone/post-industrial act DIMINISHING. The band is preparing to release its debut album, The Unnamable, later this month on Anti-Corporate Music.
Formed in 2019 by New York-based David Brenner (Gridfailure) and Texas-based Lane Oliver (Yatsu), DIMINISHING is a tense, emotionally devastating project that paints in shades of industrial, dark ambient, drone metal, noise, and more. On The Unnamable, semi-improvisational, destructive guitar work collides with haunting atmospherics, mechanical rhythms, and walls of cacophony to create a soul-crushing sound that resides somewhere between Godflesh, Nurse With Wound, Merzbow, Khanate, and Nine Inch Nails’ The Downward Spiral, while thematically exploring existential crises, anxiety in the face of the unknown, and personal failings.
The Unnamable was performed, recorded, and mixed by David Brenner and Lane Oliver, the dense tracks constructed with a wide range of vocals, guitars/bass, keys/synth, percussion, field recordings, and more. Mastering for the album was handled by Dan Emery at Black Matter Mastering (Kool Keith, Steve Von Till, Thetan), and the record is completed with photography, design, and videos created by Brenner.
Oliver reflects on the new single, “This song is about wasting years of your life tearing yourself down. It’s about trying to make up for that lost time by doing something worthwhile and meaningful, but ultimately succumbing to the delusion that time has run out for you. It’s about that vicious cycle of self-abuse that’s hard to break.”
Watch DIMINISHING’s “The Culmination Of Years Of Self-Abuse” video first at Metal Injection RIGHT HERE.
The Unnamable will be released on deluxe cassette and all digital platforms on June 16th. Find preorders at the Anti-Corporate Music shop HERE and DIMINISHING’s Bandcamp HERE. Watch the prior video for “An Emptiness” HERE.
Watch for additional updates to post over the weeks ahead.

Self-Released
15 May 2023
Power metal quintet have unleashed the remaster of their debut self-titled album. The band’s own style is 80s-driven from both sides of the pond, combining European power and flair with American speed and rock-out nature.
"The cat is out of the bag, our first album was remixed/remastered. Huge thanks to Neil Tuuri from Amish Electric Chair Studios with the amazing mix. Now go listen to it!!"
With driving rhythms, soaring harmonies and intricates riffs for days, SOLAR FLARE deliver a thrilling album infused with elements of NWOBHM and melodic metal. Opening with "Medieval", this ferocious track is an indictment on a society that was brutal in a different way. With a dark and eerie undertone running throughout, "Under The Sun" is about a soldier having to deal with the horrors of war. "Born To Burn" ventures musically in a different direction; the track is an anthem, a real "Highway to Hell" theme. "Pharaoh" also sees the band explore other musical avenues with intriguing harmonies and progressions. Lyrically, the song tells the story of a pharaoh who betrays the behest of his gods for greed and power, leading to the corruption of his mind. "Nous Sommes" returns from the realms of gods and focuses on the real event, written about the shooting in France at a concert. The album's penultimate offering, "Taken To The Other Side" explores the fear of dying without having done anything worth remembering, while the concluding "A World In My Head" contemplates the enigmatic inner machinations of the human mind.
About SOLAR FLARE:
SOLAR FLARE formed in 2014, a five piece power metal band, based in the village formerly known as Amelia, Ohio. The band have performed with an assortment of major acts, including ANTHRAX, RAVEN, SONATA ARCTICA, ORPHANED LAND, NIGHT DEMON, CROBOT, SPELLCASTER, and JOE LYNN TURNER. SOLAR FLARE's sound encompasses a high velocity powder keg of Classical influences and modern sensibilities. They originally released their self-titled album in 2020, the new remastered version elevates their epic sound further.
