ATROX TRAUMA RELEASE NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO: "EMPTINESS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Hungary’s unstoppable thrash-death force, ATROX TRAUMA, has just dropped the official music video for their latest single, "Emptiness," taken from their highly anticipated sophomore album Where Death Hunts, due for release via WormHoleDeath Records.

In "Emptiness," the band takes a brutal yet introspective dive into the emotional void, tackling themes of isolation, despair, and the deep human longing for connection. With a raw and aggressive sound that pushes the limits of thrash and death metal, the track exposes the psychological burden of searching for meaning when faced with life's stark emptiness.

The band stated: "Hollowness welcomed inside. This emptiness swallowed by. Fulfilling that emptiness. To find myself in you...This is the solution. This is the Way Out. Emptiness is the second video from our album, which will be released on April 17th. A song about emptiness, being lost, giving up, and finding a way out."

Watch the official video for "Emptiness" here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sCWZo5_y_yM

The music video for "Emptiness" was filmed and edited by András Székely, while the album Where Death Hunts was recorded, mixed, and mastered by István Simon at No Silence Studio in Hungary.

Stay tuned for more updates from ATROX TRAUMA as they continue to dominate the metal scene with their unrelenting sound.

Atrox Trauma was founded in 2008 in Hungary. Their goal, according to the music genre, was clear from the beginning: thrash metal with death metal influences. The band recorded 2 EPs during its earlier years besides performing on live gigs. The band's strength increased in 2019, and they have been spinning at an unstoppable speed since then. It gave a series of concerts in its motherland and countries in the neighborhood. The band creates a huge listener experience with its tight, intense, fast, and face-tearing music.

PATHOGENIC RELEASE "CROWNED IN CORPSES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Boston's PATHOGENIC has launched the official music video for the title track off their new album, Crowned in Corpses.

PATHOGENIC vocalist Jake Burns comments on the song.

“Lyrically, 'Crowned in Corpses' forces an acknowledgment of the bloodlust and brutality that drive wars of conquest. The opening command to “spill the blood of your enemies” is presented without justification, setting the tone for a song that makes no attempt to explain or rationalize the violence it depicts. This deliberate absence underscores the role of media and political narratives in making such conflicts more palatable. Wars of conquest spread unimaginable misery, and no matter the pretext, the conqueror wears a crown paid for with the blood and suffering of others."

The premiere for "Crowned in Corpses" comes via Decibel Magazine. Stream the video now at this location. https://www.decibelmagazine.com/2025/01/16/video-premiere-pathogenic-crowned-in-corpses/

Skepsis Recordings will release Crowned in Corpses on February 7, 2025. Pre-order the album now at www.skepsisrecordings.com.

In support of the album, PATHOGENIC will hit the road with technical metal band Leylines (members of Through the Eyes of the Dead and ex-The Contortionist). The tour kicks off March 1 in Nashville. Dates are as follows.

3/1 - DRKMTTR - Nashville, TN

3/2 - Culture Shock - Atlanta, GA

3/3 - The Milestone - Charlotte, NC

3/4 - Chapel of Bones - Raleigh, NC

3/5 - The Metro - Baltimore, MD

3/6 - The Nail - Ardmore, PA

3/7 - The Woodshop - Brooklyn, NY

3/8 - The Middle East, Upstairs - Boston, MA

Crowned in Corpses marks the band's first full-length release in over half a decade, promising a bold evolution of their signature brand of progressive tech death, while retaining the intensity that has defined the band for years.

The album was produced by Raymond Marte (Moon Tooth), Anthony Lopardo (Loss Becomes), and ourselves. Raymond Marte mixed and mastered the record. Crowned in Corpses music video was shot by Nick Court of Killing It Entertainment.

Stream more PATHOGENIC on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Music.

Out of Boston’s depths emerges PATHOGENIC, a force unshackled from hiatus and reborn with Crowned in Corpses. Over 42 punishing minutes, this progressive death metal quintet weaves together labyrinthine riffs, relentless rhythms, and chilling visions of a decaying world.

In 2022, the band’s resurgence was ignited when original vocalist Jake Burns and new drummer Tyler Montaquila joined forces with guitarists Chris Gardino, Justin Licht, and bassist Dan Leahy. Together, they’ve forged a sound that is ferocious, intricate, and unapologetically heavy — delivering metal that demands to be heard.

PATHOGENIC has shared stages with legends like Suffocation, Revocation, and The Faceless, and has annihilated crowds at the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival and RPM Fest. Known for their high-octane live performances, the band’s energy and command leave audiences with no choice but to headbang furiously.

Set to release on February 7, 2025, through Skepsis Recordings, Crowned in Corpses is a ferocious musical declaration: eight tracks of devastating power and haunting warnings of the darkness that lies ahead.

PATHOGENIC is:

Jake Burns - vocals

Chris Gardino - guitars

Justin Licht - guitars

Dan Leahy - bass

Tyler Montaquila - drums
