DECIMATOR RELEASE "WARRIORS / WOLF OF THE PLAINS"
PRESS RELEASE:
Australian heavy metal titans Decimator are set to blast through the metal landscape with their electrifying double A-side single "Warriors", a thunderous homage to historical storytelling that captures the raw essence of classic metal tradition.
Paying tribute to the legendary 7-inch single format of the 70s and 80s, Decimator delivers two meticulously crafted tracks that transport listeners through time and battlefield: "Warriors" and "Wolf of the Plains". This is not just a musical release; it's a historical odyssey carved in sonic steel.
A Tale of Two Legends
"Warriors" emerges as the band's primordial creation, a track refined through years of musical evolution, unveiling the true story of the Knights Templar without mythological embellishment. Since their very first live performance, this song has been a cornerstone of Decimator's explosive stage presence.
Complementing "Warriors" is "Wolf of the Plains", an epic musical journey through the life of Genghis Khan. Inspired by Conn Iggulden's historical narratives and tipping a respectful hat to Iron Maiden's legendary storytelling, the track promises to be a metal history lesson unlike any other.

PHEAR RELEASE NEW LYRIC VIDEO: "NEW WORLD ERROR"
PRESS RELEASE:
Canadian power thrashers PHEAR have a new lyric video to reign in the "New World Error". The track is off their second full-length album "Save Our Souls", which was unleashed this past February from Golden Robot Records.
"New World Error" is a musical and lyrical statement on all the terrible atrocities going on in the world today.
"Humans are sometimes the plague of humanity." adds the band.
Watch and listen to "New World Error" via its premiere on MetalAddicts HERE.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Jon Howard (Threat Signal), Phear's sophomore album "Save Our Souls" can be best described as their heaviest offering to date and follows the award-winning album “Instanitarium” (2019), and the critically acclaimed EP “The Curse Lives On” (2020).
Extremely passionate, and driven, along with their arena-caliber sound, PHEAR is always thinking of new ways to entertain its fans, and "Save Our Souls" is no exception. Mostly written during the dark times of COVID-19, the record has taken four years to complete. Led by Patrick Mulock and producer Jon Howard in the studio, each musician was pushed hard to get the best out of each of them and they delivered.
"We had a lot of time to craft these songs. We didn’t have any time restraints. We would go into the studio and do three songs at a time. We were very excited to work with Jon Howard (Threat Signal) again. Jon is the sixth member of Phear. The studio experience was great as we fed off each other's ideas. We pushed each other to get the best performances we could. There are NO FILLERS here. Seven String guitars have played a big part in this. Our sound has grown. The bass guitar on this album is HUGE! The drumming from Mike Harshaw was also very aggressive. If you were to ask me now… This is the heaviest Phear has ever been… for now lol!" adds Mulock.
A listening experience of thrash, prog, and classic metal elements, PHEAR offers a strong balance from infectious choruses to melodic and growling vocals for true heavy metal nostalgia. Their two previous singles, the album's title track and "Snake" are sure to make fans throw up their hail horns and headbang with a sore neck. Plus the band offers up their cover version of Nevermore's "Narcosynthesis".
PHEAR features Patrick Mulock (Lead Vocals) (Eidolon, Rampage), Pat Rogers (Lead & Rhythm Guitars) (Profaner- 2016 Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champions), Alex Zubair (Lead & Rhythm Guitars) (Burn to Black, Nadar Sadek, Iomair, Nephelium), Andrew Suarez (Drums) (Fatality, The Slyde - 2023 Wacken Metal Battle Canada Champions) and Chris Boshis (Bass) (Conflicted).
Throughout their existence, PHEAR has had the honour of opening for German metal legend UDO DIRSCHNEIFER, THE DEAD DAISIES, and STRYPER, along with performing on a pre-show for icons and heroes IRON MAIDEN in 2019 in Toronto at Budweiser Stage.
Recommended for fans of Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Judas Priest, Dream Theater (prog elements), and Metallica, PHEAR's latest album "Save Our Souls", released on February 13th, 2025, is available from Golden Robot Records at the following link (Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon) - https://orcd.co/save-our-souls

SUN BELOW RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "MAMMOTH´S TUNDRA"
PRESS RELEASE:
SUN BELOW, the renowned heavy stoner/doom power trio celebrated for their electrifying Sativa rock, proudly announces the release of their latest single, "Mammoth’s Tundra," available now. This new track marks a significant addition to their distinguished musical collection.
"Mammoth’s Tundra" resonates with the deep echoes of an ancient past, born during the creative burst of the Inter Terra Solis split sessions. Deviating from the cosmic themes of previous works, this heavier, more aggressive sound captures the essence of a resurrected woolly mammoth roaming the northern tundra. Inspired by the speculative science of resurrecting extinct species, the song contemplates the potentially chaotic consequences of such actions gone awry.
The composition begins with a deliberate pace, reflecting the mammoth's slow trek across the harsh landscape, escalating into a powerful surge of intense guitars and booming drums as the creature asserts its dominance.
Originally recorded in January 2023, "Mammoth’s Tundra" has evolved through numerous live performances, each adding a layer of visceral energy. Following today's release, the band intends to debut in the coming weeks a special live session video from November 2024 at Primal Note Studios, enriched with dynamic visuals by Strange Matter Productions, capturing SUN BELOW's raw live energy.
SUN BELOW comprises Jason Craig on guitars and vocals, Liam “Acid Goblin” Gray on bass, and Will Adams on drums. Known for merging doom, fuzz, and explosive energy, the trio invites listeners into the profound depths of their musical journey.
Following their 2023 split album Inter Terra Solis, SUN BELOW continues to challenge the confines of doom rock with themes that stretch from cosmic fate to time-space manipulation. "Mammoth’s Tundra" is more than a song; it's an explosive blend of history, science, and metal.
About SUN BELOW:
SUN BELOW is a stoner/doom trio from Hamilton, Ontario, renowned for their unique blend of heavy, groove-laden music they call "Sativa rock." This distinctive sound combines the deep heaviness of doom metal with the uplifting energy of psychedelic rock, creating immersive sonic experiences that resonate with audiences.
The band consists of Jason Craig on guitars and vocals, Liam “Acid Goblin” Gray on bass, and Will Adams on drums. Together, they deliver long, burning jams that pay homage to the altar of tone, riffs, and smoke—central elements to SUN BELOW's musical identity.
Their mission is to merge the raw power of classic rock with the sonic depth of modern doom while infusing their music with psychedelic elements that invite listeners to fully experience each track. Their themes range from cosmic fate to time travel and alternate futures, with each song serving as both a narrative and musical journey.
SUN BELOW's notable works include the acclaimed split album Inter Terra Solis, which showcases their ability to blend complex narratives with expansive soundscapes. Their live performances are known for their seismic energy and technical prowess, further cementing their reputation as not just musicians, but as modern-day sonic alchemists.
As SUN BELOW continues to explore new musical territories and refine their dynamic approach to music, they invite fans to join them in celebrating the communal spirit of heavy, riff-driven rock and the transformative power of music.

Jason Craig - Guitars/Vocals

PRESS RELEASE:

Apple Music: music.apple.com/us/album/keys-to-the-palace/1799825435
Sole member and founder, Alex Haddad, shared his thoughts about Keys to the Palace: "This album was ten plus years in the making. A lot of the material here actually precedes that of the two previous releases. Completing this record means giving closure to this era of Dessiderium that has spanned across my twenties, and I see it as a well suited final chapter to this period. The two previous albums, Shadow Burn and Aria, provided no happy ending. They were both about defeat in their own way. Keys to the Palace reaches for triumph. This is an album about time travel that explores the polarity between past and future, innocence and disillusion, faith and despair, and adolescence and adulthood."

1. In The Midst Of May
2. Dover Hendrix
3. Pollen For The Bees

EXTERMINATUS RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "COSMIC DISTURBANCE"
PRESS RELEASE:
Pioneers of technical death metal, EXTERMINATUS, are thrilled to announce the release of "Cosmic Disturbance," the lead single off their upcoming album Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1. Accompanied by a visually striking music video, "Cosmic Disturbance" is now available across all major streaming platforms.
"Cosmic Disturbance" sets the tone with its ominous bass intro, serving as the calm before the storm. This track quickly escalates into a sonic onslaught of driving drums and frenzied guitar work, featuring heavy, articulate play with bursts of trem picking and blast beats. The music captures a feeling of urgent intensity, mirroring the song's narrative content and culminating in an outro that demands repeated listens.
Uniquely positioned as the opening track of the album, "Cosmic Disturbance" also marks the narrative’s end, exploring the cyclical and holographic nature of our universe. The song thrusts listeners into the perspective of the protagonist who awakens in an alien realm, outside of time and space. As he witnesses the big bang and the subsequent evolution of the universe, he comes to a chilling realization about his existence and the simulated reality governed by an infinite computer, where the speed of causality is capped by the speed of light.
Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, set for release on April 18, 2025, marks a bold continuation of EXTERMINATUS's journey into the realms of technical death metal with a cosmic twist. This album, meticulously crafted over years, delves deep into the themes of creation, the cyclical nature of existence, and the profound implications of a universe more holographic than previously imagined. Through a blend of ferocious riffs, complex drum patterns, and atmospheric storytelling, EXTERMINATUS not only explores the technical boundaries of their music but also crafts a narrative that challenges the listener's perception of time and reality. The album promises to be a significant milestone in their discography, offering an intense auditory experience that encapsulates the band's evolution and their philosophical inquiries into the cosmos.
About EXTERMINATUS:
Since their formation in 2013, EXTERMINATUS has evolved into a dominant force within the technical death metal scene. Their journey began with the debut album Veni Vidi Vici, which immediately set the tone for their aggressive style characterized by rapid-fire riffs, relentless drumming, and devastating vocals. By the time their second album Laniakea was released in 2018, EXTERMINATUS had firmly established themselves not just as a project but as a mainstay, pushing the boundaries of technical death metal.
The current lineup features the dual-guitar attack of Tabreez Azad and Elia Baghbaniyan, combined with the unstoppable rhythm section of Max Sepulveda and Lucas Abreu, and the ferocious lead vocals of Luka Bresan. This potent combination creates a sound that is both brutally precise and expansively atmospheric, drawing comparisons to luminaries like Aeon, Decapitated, and The Faceless, yet with a distinct identity that is entirely their own.
Thematically, EXTERMINATUS ventures into the cosmic unknown, exploring vast astronomical themes and the fundamental forces of the universe. Their narratives delve into complex physical phenomena and the chilling mysteries of space, a theme that resonates deeply in their upcoming release, Echoes From A Distant Star Part 1, scheduled for release on April 18, 2025. This album promises to fuse their signature technical complexity with a hauntingly eerie cosmic atmosphere.
EXTERMINATUS's impact on the scene is underscored by their dynamic live performances, highlighted by appearances at festivals such as Armstrong Metalfest and Loud As Hell Festival. Collaborations with notable figures like Andrew Baena, Dean Lamb, and Mike Greenwood have further solidified their reputation, expanding their influence and showcasing their ability to innovate within the genre.
With their intricate compositions, powerful performances, and forward-thinking approach, EXTERMINATUS not only captivates their audience but also promises a continual evolution.

"Burn my life as we dance into the torment, we've been set free...
I've become the light that turns all into ashes that stand in my wake..."
This track is a testament to Webb Of Deceit’s ability to craft music that is both musically intricate and thematically gripping.
