AIRBORN RELEASE "LIZARD SECRETS: PART THREE - UTOPIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

At the dawn of the millennium a new force was emerging on the Italian metal scene; a band that blended the effervescent energy and uplifting melodies of power metal with the muscular riffs and immersive atmosphere of traditional heavy metal – Airborn. Now after nearly thirty years of fantastic albums and thrilling live performances alongside the likes of Iron Savior, Freedom Call, Fates Warning and many, many more, Airborn are set to release their seventh full length studio album – Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia. The concluding part of a trilogy of albums exploring the challenges of our possible futures through an array of sci-fi stories, Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia is a breathtaking new pinnacle in Airborn’s career, a defining work in their canon of metal.

Airborn announce their new album with ‘Kings Of Melody’, a perfect opening track that sweeps you away into their universe of adventure on thunderous drums, spiralling guitars and unforgettable choruses. There’s no looking back from that point on as the superb voice of Alessio Perardi, with great range and tone, delivering each note with apparent ease, leads us on into the likes of the wonderfully addictive ‘Futuremaker’. It quickly becomes apparent that not only do Airborn possess an innate ability for producing exquisite melodic metal, but they have outdone themselves with this album. Every track has individual characteristics that make it stand out from those around it, make it an event in its own right: be it the classic melodic power metal of first single, ‘Soldiers Of Misfortune’, the dark drama and remarkable guitar work of ‘Skeleton Crew’ or the instantly engaging ‘Magic Bullet’. Mention has to be made of the guitar solos that rampage through …Utopia, lighting up the album in joyous, incendiary fashion, but every single musician here is playing at the peak of their powers. Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia is an absolute resounding triumph! Airborn have never sounded better.

Fighter Records will release Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia on September 16th digitally and on CD, complete with the dazzling artwork of Trevor Story whose images have adorned both Lizard Secrets Part One - Land of the Living and Lizard Secrets Part Two - Age of Wonder. For all fans of heavy metal, power metal and melodic metal Airborn have delivered one of the must-have releases of 2025!

AMONG THE BODIES RELEASE NEW TRACK: "MEANT FOR EACH OTHER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Denver Colorado's "AMONG THE BODIES"  have returned with their new song "Meant For Each Other".

The band comments, "Our new single is about losing a close friend to a new relationship. The music video tells the story and captures the roller coaster of emotions that come along with it, while also highlighting the personalities of the band members." 

The song's brutal blend of deathcore, hardcore and metalcore is a perfect primer for their upcoming EP Making Sense of Our Decay, which is out on June 27th.

AMONG THE BODIES is:

Raye - drums

Mac - guitar

Keith - vocals

Addison - bass

About AMONG THE BODIES:

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Among the Bodies aren’t afraid of anything—including the liminal space between hardcore, deathcore, death metal, and metalcore, which is where they’re most comfortable. While the riffs may be hard to classify, they aren’t hard to mosh to. Appealing to both the old heads who saw deathcore and metalcore storm the scene and the new generation that embraces experimentation, Among the Bodies’ number-one goal is to keep it heavy while having fun.

Making Sense of Our Decay, their second EP, is a bit of a departure from the first EP, Chaotic Intent, which focused more on technicality and melody. Now, with their revised lineup, Among the Bodies are here to make you forget about genre conventions and lose yourself in the pit. While the subject matter on the EP gets a bit serious, delving into the realities of being an aging metalhead or hardcore kid, it’s all done with a tongue-in-cheek attitude and a love for heavy music reminiscent of the genre’s forefathers. We’re all decaying slowly, so why not have fun while doing it?

VERTEBRA RELEASE "THE SAME"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Vertebra - The Same

Old School Brazilians Reborn

LABEL: XTREEM MUSIC

RELEASE DATE: JULY 29th 2025

As I walk through this world of manipulators I guard my inner flame; hide its guiding light from the hungry eyes of thieves and despots disguised as benefactors. Self proclaimed demigods deliver sermons laced with fear, offering to reveal the only path through life, the only way to live, to succeed, to be saved, to survive…yet the price for their ‘wisdom’ never changes – the extinguishing of my flame, the sacrifice of myself, conformity and enslavement. Whether they wear horns or beatific smiles, whether they rage and threaten or tempt and beguile…beneath the layers of deceit they are all the same.

Originally active in the mid ‘90s underground music scene of Rio Grande do Sul, in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where they quickly established a place for themselves with their fierce live performances, intense, intriguing music and uncompromising attitude, Vertebra were all too soon driven apart by the unwelcome pressures of life. However that was not to be the end of the Vertebra story, because those purveyors of melodic, technical, progressive death/thrash metal have returned, with their dreams and inspiration reignited, ready to achieve all that slipped away from them decades ago.

The Same is the long overdue full length debut album from Vertebra and it is an astonishing collection of songs, demonstrating fantastic technical dexterity, but also exquisite songcraft and melodic awareness. With a sound that manages to balance raw edges with clarity and separation, authenticity of expression with quality of tone, Vertebra proceed to unveil an array of metal masterpieces that defy the passage of time. The lead work throughout is stunning, with the solos being highlights and fundamental parts of each song, rather than mere adornments or space-fillers, while the rhythm section weaves intricate exploratory webs beneath the endless treasure trove of riffs. Impassioned, fiery vocals bind the disparate elements together, a blend of Chuck Schuldiner and Mille Petrozza delivering thoughtful and insightful lyrics. Despite the music’s many layers and elaborate sophistication The Same races by, time standing still as it unfurls its vivid, vibrant display. Personal favourites will change with every listen as there is no weak moment to be found, from the breathtaking deftness of touch displayed in ‘Overcoming The Void’ to the elegantly realised immersive nature of ‘Architecture Of Perspective, the searing intensity of ‘Behavior In The Eyes’ to the melancholic air of ‘Blessed Are The Forgetful’, Vertebra have brought us so much to cherish.

The new era of Vertebra will begin on July 29th when Xtreem Music unleash The Same upon the world. The album will be available on CD and digital formats, with the CD featuring a bonus song in the form of the original 1995 demo track, ‘Humanity’. From the past to the future, Vertebra are back with an album that may be The Same in name, but is anything but in nature.

Line-up:

Arildo Leal - Guitars/Vocals

Tiago Vargas - Bass/Vocals

Cristiano Hulk - Drums

Fernando Luzardo - Guitars

Genre: Progressive Death/Thrash Metal

For fans of: Death | Kreator | Atheist | Deathrow

VIOGRESSION RELEASE "THAUMATURGIC VEIL"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

U.S. Death Metal veterans, Viogression,will self release new album, Thaumaturgic Veil, on July 11. The album's first single, "Renumeration," is out now and available at the following location:

viogression.docsend.com/view/brjjmt3r97xe8b3p

Thaumaturgic Veil is a metaphysical sonic construct, weaving intricate threads of human consciousness, vibrational frequency, and esoteric intent into a tapestry that transcends the boundaries of death metal. This work explores the interplay of awareness, magic, and the latent potential encoded within humanity’s neurocognitive framework.

Thaumaturgic Veil explores the interplay of consciousness, subconsciousness, and materiality, viewing existence as a binary system shaped by vibrational frequencies—the core medium molded by individual intent. These measurable waves connect the chaos of infinite potential to the order of the observable universe, reflecting ancient alchemy’s transformation of matter and awareness, akin to esoteric traditions and Thelema’s Great Work, uniting boundless Nuit and focused Hadit. Meditation and altered mental states enhance this, using frequencies to push perception and align with higher realities, as Crowley’s magick—change through intent—shapes the album’s structure.

The opening track ("Enûma Elish Ilū") introduces infinity as a recurring theme, its modal tones evoking Nuit’s expanse and microtonal shifts hinting at Hadit’s precision, tying into the album’s finite-eternal tension. Building on 2022’s 3rd Stage of Decay, this work intensifies with complex compositions: a primordial voice, heavy, growling guitars and bass conjure raw potential; relentless drums blast and propel it forward, while melodic leads and overtones pierce the dissonance, balancing distortion and clarity. Guttural yet ethereal, its sound design engages the auditory cortex, heightening awareness to match the album’s vision.

For enthusiasts of old-school death metal, Viogression delivers a raw, unrelenting sound steeped in the genre’s early ‘90s roots. Reviewers frequently liken their sludgy, thuggish heaviness to Obituary, noting a shared penchant for trudging, dissonant riffs, though Viogression infuses a Midwestern grit distinct from Florida’s swampy polish. Their technical ferocity and morbid atmospheres draw parallels to Death’s foundational aggression and Pestilence’s chaotic edge, as seen in comments praising their thrash-leaning debut Expound & Exhort. Fans of Morbid Saint’s cult intensity and Autopsy’s doom-drenched decay will find kinship in Viogression’s ability to meld intricate brutality with a haunting, unrefined vibe. Echoes of Possessed’s primal fury and Morbid Angel’s raw power further cement their appeal, making them a hidden gem for devotees of death metal’s formative, unpolished era.

Diego Gedoz de Souza is responsible for the artwork. Make sure to check out him out on Facebook and Instagram.

BIO:

Formed in 1988, Viogression swiftly forged a formidable presence in the metal underground with three searing demos, paving the way for their critically lauded debut, Expound & Exhort (1990). This landmark release launched them onto a world tour, igniting stages alongside Death and Pestilence. Their second album, Passage (1994), released incomplete, led to a nine-year hiatus. Reborn in 2003, Viogression unleashed fresh material, culminating in the 2014 EP, A Pure Formality, which sparked the band’s comeback with electrifying festival performances. Defying 2020’s global turmoil, they delivered 3rd Stage of Decay, released worldwide in 2022 through Satanath Records and Moribund Records. Now, Viogression stands on the brink of their fourth album, Thaumaturgic Veil, set for Summer 2025, poised to unleash a cataclysmic new chapter in their storied legacy.
