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.

SIRIUS RELEASE VIDEO FOR "EDGE OF THE WORLD"

 

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.

VOIDWARD RELEASE "OCCULT SYMMETRY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

VOIDWARD RELEASES OCCULT SYMMETRY MICRO-ALBUM AND THE PLOWMAN 11TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION MACRO-SINGLE

Progressive Stoner Doom Visionaries Usher in the Year of the Void

Marking a metaphysical milestone in heavy music, Voidward unleashes two monumental sonic offerings on February 22, 2025: the Occult Symmetry Micro-Album and The Plowman 11th Anniversary Edition Macro-Single. These releases push the boundaries of time, sound, and spiritual awareness—deepening the lore and legacy of the band that serves as Earth’s conduit to The Void.

Following their 2022 self-titled full-length debut, which featured the hauntingly unforgettable track “Voidward,” this new dual release presents a vivid glimpse into the evolving mythos of The Void Cycle , set for full manifestation in 2026.

Occult Symmetry (Micro-Album)

Voidward introduces the world’s first Micro-Album: a singular, expansive composition in two acts— “Light Rider” and “Dark Miracle.” Clocking in with gravitational depth, Occult Symmetry stands as a meditative journey through frequency, dimension, and self. It's not just an album—it's a ritual in motion, a vibration in sync with the metaphysical forces guiding our collective experience of sound and silence.

The album artwork is a striking painting by Sally Gates, known for her work with Titan to Tachyons alongside Trevor Dunn (Mr. Bungle) and Kenny Grohowski (Imperial Triumphant). Gates is currently wrapping up a tour leg with Napalm Death and The Melvins, lending a powerful and evocative visual identity that perfectly complements Voidward’s cosmic sound.

The Plowman 11th Anniversary Edition (Macro-Single)

In celebration of 11 years of Heralding the Void , Voidward reissues The Plowman in a newly remastered, reimagined form. Originally unearthed on the knives EP (2013), this edition is part of a broader 11-version series — with Versions I through V already available, and Versions VI and VII scheduled to arrive in Autumn 2025. Each edition reveals a different dimension of The Void’s eternal message, echoing across time through heavy frequencies and ritualistic intensity.

About Voidward

Voidward isn’t just a band. Voidward is the Herald.

For fans of Castle Rat , Elder , Ghost , and even the legendary Riverbottom Nightmare Band , Voidward offers more than music—they offer initiation. Their genre-defying sound exists at the intersection of Progressive Stoner Doom and metaphysical truth, providing a heavy metal odyssey that serves as a mirror to eternity itself.

Guided by the unknowable force that is The Void, Voidward channels frequencies and philosophies from beyond, grounding cosmic chaos into sonic form. Their sound resonates deeply—most audibly through the ancient circuitry of the Boss HM2—and their mission is simple:

To bring The Void closer.

KRATEROS RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "LINGUICIDE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Finnish progressive thrash metal band Krateros is set to release their debut EP 'Lost in Translation' on January 30th 2026 via Inverse Records. The first single 'Linguicide' is unleashed today and it's available on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/krateros-linguicide 

The band comments:

" “Linguicide” is the first taste of our upcoming EP “Lost in Translation.” With its catchy groove and memorable guitar melody, it is arguably the most “commercial” track from the EP, yet it contains a great blend of all the elements that make our music what it is. Musically, the song is the oldest one on the EP, with the first demo going as far back as February 2020. Lyrically, the song went through two or three rewrites before finding its final form. Some of the discarded ideas have since been used in songs meant for future releases. As a product of our times, “Linguicide” deals with cancel culture and the death of independent thought, whether through self-censorship or outside pressure."

BIOGRAPHY:

Krateros is an emerging metal band from Helsinki, Finland, founded in 2023 and led by vocalist/guitarist and main songwriter Saku Rekonen. The band’s music combines influences from old-school thrash metal bands such as Annihilator, Exodus, and Megadeth with more contemporary acts like Trivium, Machine Head, and Stam1na — all the while being filtered through a progressive lens.

The band’s first EP, “Lost in Translation,” released through Inverse Records, is a response to a perceived lack of riffs that seems to plague the metal scene of the 2020s.

OUTLYING RELEASE NEW SINGLE "THE RAVEN IS GONE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Canadian melodic death metal band Outlying has unleashed their brand-new single “The Raven Is Gone”, the third preview of their upcoming full-length album "Oblivisci," set for release on November 21, 2025.

​Following singles “Pitch Black Serum” and "November", their next track, “The Raven Is Gone” is fast, heavy, and undeniably epic, capturing the chaos of everyday struggles, bills, jobs, relationships, and the weight of modern life, and transforms them into a soaring, visceral anthem. Originally drafted years ago by vocalist/guitarist Fred A. Dubeau during a night of heavy drinking, the lyrics were rediscovered and brought to life with the band’s signature blend of aggression and melody.

​​“Sometimes, bands write songs just before recording an album, and sometimes there are song ideas that were there for years before actually writing and recording that said song. ‘The Raven Is Gone’ is about how you often go through similar issues every day… and can feel powerless about all the chaos it can create. The whole vibe is about being a metaphorical raven who escapes fire and blaze, and tries to find a safe place to hide somewhere. The music is written to be as powerful, epic, and catchy as possible,” adds Dubeau.

​Due out November 21st, "Oblivisci" (Latin for “to forget”) is a dark, melodic, and emotionally charged record that explores themes of trauma, alienation, grief, loneliness, and addiction. The album’s artwork depicts a post-apocalyptic version of the band’s home city, reflecting its lyrical core: the desire to withdraw from reality and escape the weight of existence.

​Musically, "Oblivisci" balances aggression and melody with precision, from thrash-driven assaults to atmospheric passages, from crushing heaviness to moments of haunting beauty. The record closes with the ambitious three-part suite “Dreamless Nights”, inspired by Fred’s personal struggles with alcohol addiction and the cycle of escape, bliss, and collapse.

​Founded in 2007 by vocalist/guitarist, producer, and songwriter Fred A. Dubeau, Outlying hail from the industrial city of Trois-Rivières, Quebec. Their debut EP "Within The Jail Of The Unfortunate" arrived in 2008, followed by the full-length "Scars Of Daylight" in 2012. After lineup changes, bassist JD Poirier and French drummer Martin “Frenchy” Reithler joined, leading to the release of Frameworks For Repression in 2016.

​In 2024, the band welcomed bassist Charles Alex Bilodeau, solidifying the current lineup. Outlying is now preparing to release "Oblivisci", their most mature and focused work to date, heavier, more melodic, and unflinchingly honest.

Outlying’s music is best described as captivating, dark, aggressive, and melodic metal. Influenced by At The Gates, Testament, Cradle of Filth, In Flames, and Wintersun, their sound draws from melodic death, thrash, black, and groove metal. Their live shows are raw and passionate, relying on pure energy and musicianship rather than heavy backing tracks or overproduction.

Listen to their latest single "The Raven Is Gone" via its premiere on NoCleanSinging HERE.

"Oblivisci" will be available on all digital platforms on November 21st, 2025.
