NO MORE DEATH RELEASE "THE DEATH IS DEAD"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

NO MORE DEATH

A NEW ERA OF BRAZILIAN THRASH BEGINS NOW!

A new force has risen from the ashes of Brazilian thrash. A true heir to the legacy that once launched Sepultura onto the global stage, fueled by the same rage and identity, and forged in the flames of metal giants like Metallica, Slayer, Testament, and Exodus.

The name of this new chapter? No More Death, a project conceived and led by Tiago Torres, founder, guitarist, and vocalist of the now-defunct Mad Dragzter, which between 2001 and 2015 released three albums and earned its place in both Brazilian and international metal scenes.

Driven by razor-sharp riffs, breakneck speed, crushing heaviness, and deep lyrical themes, "The Death is Dead", No More Death’s debut album, is more than just another metal record. It’s a bold manifesto, a raw cry about eternal life, justice, hope, and eschatology.

“Death is the most complex and haunting theme in human history,” says Tiago. “How do we face it? Escape it? Destroy it? Can we live forever? This record says not only yes, it shows how it’s already been done.”

No More Death came to life naturally. Tiago had been carrying a vault of riffs, melodies, and ideas since Mad Dragzter disbanded. “I always knew I’d return to music. It started taking shape in 2024 when we began recording. It wasn’t about trends or what was happening in the scene, because thrash metal is eternal. Old and new fans alike keep it alive,” he explains.

Tiago recorded all guitars, vocals, and bass for the album, staying true to the creative spirit that defined his former band. The album was co-produced by Demis Kohler, who also handled sound engineering, mixing, mastering, and laid down every guitar solo.

“Demis brought both technical brilliance and sensitivity. His solos have melody, precision, and taste. And the overall sound, honestly, it stands toe-to-toe with anything coming out of the US or Europe,” praises Torres.

The influence of Metallica, Slayer, Testament, and Exodus is unmistakable, but it’s blended with the raw emotion and aggressive edge of Brazilian thrash.

“I’ve been listening to thrash for nearly 40 years, it’s in my DNA. Sepultura’s golden era shaped how every Brazilian plays and writes. Add to that Korzus, Ratos de Porão, and the thrash phase of Overdose... all of that went into the blender that became No More Death. Still, our goal is to create something unique. And I think we nailed that with this first album.”

But “The Death is Dead” is just the beginning. The record sets the stage for a larger conceptual arc. Future albums will expand the lyrical narrative, building a connected story across songs and records. “The plan is to keep releasing albums steadily. One big story, told piece by piece,” Tiago reveals.

While the current focus is on studio work, Tiago isn’t ruling out live shows.

“I don’t plan on going back to a 50-shows-a-year grind like Mad Dragzter, but I definitely want to take this to the stage with the right lineup. This album has the power to break borders and shake up the thrash world.”

For Tiago Torres, “The Death is Dead” marks a fresh start. “Brazil has always been a breeding ground for great thrash. The world watches what’s happening here. And I truly believe this record can become a new catalyst, not just for die-hard thrash fans, but for fans of all heavy music. It’s got aggression, speed, power, hooks, melody... And riffs. So many riffs.”

THRASH OR BE THRASHED. NO MORE DEATH. DEATH IS DEAD.

CRYSTAL SKULL RELEASE "ARCANE TALES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

CRYSTAL SKULL UNLEASHES EPIC NEW ALBUM ARCANE TALES — OUT JUNE 25, 2025 VIA UNDERGROUND SYMPHONY

For fans of: Blind Guardian, Running Wild, Gamma Ray

Pre save here: https://linktr.ee/crystalskullpowermetal

Prepare to ride through storm and steel once more — Italian power fantasy metal warriors CRYSTAL SKULL return with their highly anticipated new full-length album Arcane Tales , out June 25, 2025 via Underground Symphony Records .

Following the critically praised 2020 debut Ancient Tales , Arcane Tales continues the epic saga within the enchanted realm of Arendal. Melding the galloping spirit of Teutonic power/speed metal with soaring melodies and thunderous riffs, the album picks up where its predecessor left off—delivering blazing storytelling and battle-hardened anthems steeped in the glory of ‘80s and ‘90s metal legends.

Founded by multi-instrumentalist Claudio , CRYSTAL SKULL was born out of a deep devotion to the classic era of Germanic heavy metal—worshiping the likes of Helloween , Rage , Scanner , and Blind Guardian . What began as a solo endeavor in 2007 has now evolved into a formidable full-band force.

Now joined by drummer Fabio Tomba (Silverbones), powerhouse vocalist Lorenzo Nocerino (Silverbones, Destination 5-11), and newly added guitarist Alessandro Visintin (Moonchild, Sabbathage), CRYSTAL SKULL charges forward with renewed might and sharper steel.

Recorded by the band in their own studio and mixed and mastered by Alberto Melinato ( Moonlight Haze, Teodasia ) at Bridge Produzioni Audio Studios , Arcane Tales preserves the raw energy of old-school metal while leveling up in both scope and power. The release is once again brought to life by the legendary artwork of illustrator Fabio Babic ( Dragonero – Bonelli ), cementing CRYSTAL SKULL’s status as true torchbearers of fantasy metal.

The lead single “Stormbreaker” will serve as the album’s opening battle cry, released alongside a lyric video and available on all digital platforms.

The band also contributed the exclusive track “ Dragons & Steel ” to Underground Symphony’s 30th anniversary compilation , featuring Alessandro Visintin on second guitar—now a full-time member of the band. A standalone single expanding on the “Dragons & Steel” tale is already in the works, as CRYSTAL SKULL sets its sights on crafting the climactic third chapter of the saga.

Arcane Tales will be released as a deluxe limited-edition digipack CD and across all major streaming platforms .

Track, fight, and ride on... The Lords of Skull rise again!

ANCIENT THRONES RELEASE "MELANCHOLIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Halifax, Canada’s relentless progressive death metal band Ancient Thrones return with their harrowing sophomore album "Melancholia", dropping September 19th, 2025, a follow-up to 2020’s debut "The Veil". Leading the release is their first single, “A Moon Fused Key”, accompanied by a haunting lyric video that offers a raw glimpse into the album’s psychological abyss.

Formed in 2011 and reborn in 2018 with the arrival of guitarist and composer Dylan Wallace, Ancient Thrones carved out a new identity rooted in fast, extreme, progressive, cinematic, and existential soundscapes. With "Melancholia", the band dives deeper into these sonic philosophies, creating a concept-driven album born out of isolation, trauma, and the need to transform pain into art.

"We think this album is a turning point for us, where we were able to take the atmosphere of our previous record, and kick the aggression up to a thousand. The intention of our last record, "The Veil," was to be poetic and hopeful, but the intention with our second full-length, "Melancholia," is to crush any ounce of hope that is left," adds the band.

​A high-speed, technically savage record written during the first wave of the pandemic. "Melancholia" is packed with themes of hallucination, suicide, and emotional unraveling, inspired by personal experience and psychedelic trauma. Built as a narrative journey, with abstract lyrics and music that flow seamlessly from track to track.

​The writing process started with Wallace churning out riffs in isolation while drummer and vocalist Sean Hickey developed the narrative alongside the music. Their creative synergy resulted in a cinematic tapestry where music evokes visuals, and lyrics deepen the vision. Each track exists as a piece of a larger, emotionally devastating puzzle.

The band meticulously sculpted every sonic detail over five years, dialing in tones and mastering techniques to ensure a pummeling production. Unlike their expansive debut, "Melancholia" tightens its tracklist to accommodate a proper vinyl release, with each song handpicked for impact. Every riff, lead, and vocal layer contributes to an immersive and aggressive listening experience.

“We didn’t plan to write a concept album, but the story began to unfold, and we couldn’t resist,” adds Hickey.

Inviting fans into the haunting world of "Melancholia", Ancient Thrones is unveiling their first single and the album's opening track, “A Moon Fused Key”. Kicking off the record, the track sets the stage for the violent nature about to unfold both musically and lyrically. This is the point of the concept album where the character puts an end to every piece of life in his body. At the end of the song, he sees the hand of god pulling him to heaven, and he severs it. This song is fast, filled with crushing riffs, and sets the tone for what’s to come.

The band comments:

“A Moon Fused Key is the opening track on the album, but also a climax narratively, jumping straight into where hell is unfolding in our character's story. The song begins with unrelenting force and speed, and does not stop until the final bitter moments. We wanted to establish that Melancholia was not just a catchy title for the album; that we intend to tie our audience in a nihilistic, inhuman, terrifying, and brutal end, as the character celebrates their death viciously. This song is a statement in existential exhaustion, where you have no choice but to brace for what’s coming”.

Taking influences from black metal, 2000s death metal, and modern tech death, "Melancholia" reflects the Ancient Thrones' commitment to pushing boundaries in extreme music. Recommended for fans of Archspire, The Red Chord, Deafheaven, and The Faceless.

HOSTAGE SATISFYER RELEASE "UNDEFINED CHAOS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The first album of Hostage Satisfyer called Undefined Chaos has been released today July 17th.

THe band says: "Hostage Satisfyer is what we describe as blackened power thrash metal from the Netherlands, trying not to be bound by one genre and just have fun making metal music.

The idea of this band came during a metal festival and just like being at a festival where you can see different kinds of metal bands this album has been created with different kinds of metal genres."

This album has 10 songs with a total length of 22 minutes.

"Some songs are more straight forward thrash (To war), death (Hanged by your guts), black (Moros, god of doom) or even folk metal (Gurktaler drinking song) while others are a mix of different metal genres.

I think the song Game over! You died! represents the description of the band the most because of the blackened style vocals, thrash metal riffs and the energy and easy to remember lyrics of power metal."

TORTURE SQUAD RELEASE VIDEO FOR "THOTH"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

TORTURE SQUAD releases music video for “Thoth”, from the acclaimed album 'Devilish'

In the seventh music video released to promote the album explora, the band explores the use of Artificial Intelligence for the first time.

 

Listen to the new single “Thoth" HERE!

Watch the new video “Thoth": HERE!

Torture Squad, one of the greatest Brazilian metal bands, releases this Friday, July 11th, the music video for the track "Thoth". This is the seventh promotional video for the acclaimed album 'Devilish,' released in September 2023 by the Italian label Time to Kill.

With this release, the band explores the use of Artificial Intelligence for the first time, with the music video created entirely by AI. The images are original, edited by producer and editor Daniel Berrettini of DB Criação & Design, and constructed based on information from the composer of the lyrics, Rene Simionato. The idea is to use AI resources to recreate the Egyptian theme.

Guitarist Rene Simionato comments:

"his song talks about Thoth, who carries all the ancestral wisdom of Ancient Egypt, and who in ancient Greece was known as Hermes Trismegistus. It all became a true mystical journey, bringing the mystery of the Seven Hermetic Laws, which appear in the video in a symbolic and powerful way, and which align directly with the weight of death metal."

Daniel Berrettini of DB Creative Studio also shared his thoughts on the work:

"Producing the Thoth music video was a fascinating journey to Ancient Egypt with all its cultural and visual richness. Using Artificial Intelligence, I created images of the exuberant pyramids, temples, desert landscapes, art and Egyptian writing. I also used visual effects to create the mystical atmosphere surrounding the god Thoth. An enriching job that I did with great pleasure!""

Torture Squad will soon announce more European tour dates, and recently confirmed their participation in Wacken Open Air, the largest heavy metal festival in the world, which takes place in Germany. The band will perform on July 30th, Wednesday, a fact that makes Torture Squad the only Brazilian band to play four times at the festival. The band performed in 2007, as winners of the Metal Battle, with the 'Chaos Corporation Tour', in 2008 with the 'Hellbound Tour', 2011 with the 'Aequilibrium Tour' and is now leading the 'Devilish Tour'.

TORTURE SQUAD is seen by extreme music fans as one of the most visceral and powerful metal bands in action today.

With almost three decades of experience, with excellent live performances including at the most important metal festivals in the world, the Brazilian group gathered legions of fans playing throughout the country, Latin America and Europe.

In 2019, while preparing the new album, Torture Squad arrived at one of the biggest music festivals in the world, the Brazilian Rock in Rio, where they performed for an audience of 120,000 people. In a cast full of metal legends like Anthrax, Slayer, Sepultura, Scorpions and Iron Maiden, the show was epic alongside Chuck Billy (Testament) and the Brazilians of Claustrofobia on the Sunset stage, with the set covering songs from their entire career TS and Testament Classics.

After Rock in Rio, came the long-awaited tour of Central America, passing through Mexico, Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala. The highlight was the show at Mexico Metal Fest which Torture Squad was one of the headliners.

In 2020 they released a new single and video called “O Doutrinador”, inspired by a Brazilian comic book character that also became a movie and TV series. The English version of the single and video called “The Awakener” is also available.

In 2021 the band celebrated twenty years since the release of their third album “The Unholy Spell” (2001) playing the entire album in Lives and live shows.

In 2022, the band performed at “La Iglesia” in São Paulo, giving rise to the live album “Torture at La Iglesia En Vivo”, and also the single “The Fallen Ones” with exclusive debut in the American magazine Decibel Magazine. Ending the year doing a show alongside one of the thrash metal legends in the world “Exodus” at the Carioca Club, in São Paulo.
