[Exitus Stratagem Records] — Acclaimed technical death metal mastermind Matt Miller is set to release his seventh full-length album, "Fiber Tormentum," on September 12, 2025 via Exitus Stratagem Records. Marking a bold evolution from his instrumental legacy, this album features a full-band lineup including Jordan Kelso (drums, synth), Justice Robinett (bass), and Biko Wright (vocals), each contributing distinctive energy that elevates the album’s sonic intensity and emotional depth.

Earlier this summer, Miller unveiled the first single, “Descent into Violence,” accompanied by a mesmerizing visualizer and an intricate guitar playthrough premiered exclusively via Metal Insider.

🎧 Single Available Now

Now, the quartet is ready to showcase the next track, “Effectively Neutralized,” making its exclusive premiere on NoCleanSinging.

“This track establishes the tone for our new LP, Fiber Tormentum . It makes a bold statement by blending melodicism and memorable hooks with the relentless elements of technical death metal. This combination creates a unique mixture of ferocity and intensity that delivers an emotional experience, which can sometimes be lost in this genre’s inhuman technicality. We believe this sets us apart from other artists, and we hope our authenticity resonates with the listener,” explains Miller.

A Monumental Leap: From Solo Virtuoso to Full-Band Assault

“Fiber Tormentum” is an eight-track technical death metal opus that pushes boundaries with clean vocals, intricate guitars, and a theatrical, memorable sound. Conceptually, the album delves into a dystopian sci-fi narrative where extraterrestrial forces manipulate human DNA to subjugate humanity — a fusion of speculative fiction and real-world anxieties. The haunting cover art, crafted by the late Joshua Nassaru Ward of Voraath, adds a poignant visual depth to the project’s themes.

“We emphasize our commitment to excellence, experimentation, and emotional authenticity, blending modern production with a human touch. The album represents a milestone in our evolving musical journey, with even greater ambitions for future work,” says Miller.

THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE RELEASE "SUICIDE FOREST"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Sorrow Of Being Immaculate

Suicide Forest

Drone Alone

26 September 2025

In the depths of a bitter Welsh winter, in an abandoned barn surrounded by broken trees and sodden earth, Suicide Forest began to take shape. With no neighbors, no lights, and only the distant hum of unsettled winds, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE set up a modest array of gear and started to write at full volume. The setting was as much a part of the record as the riffs themselves, each track soaked in the desolation and cold detachment of the landscape. This was not a place for warmth or clarity. It was a place to surrender to the weight of memory, to the slow, repetitive cycles of regret, and to the idea that music might not heal, but might at least bear witness.

Suicide Forest, set to be released by Drone Alone on September 26th, 2025, is the first full-length album from THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE, an anonymous solo project steeped in instrumental doom, sludge, and drone. Where there might traditionally be lyrics, there is silence. Where there might be structure, there is repetition that borders on obsession. Each song loops like a thought you cannot escape. Each moment lingers just a little too long.

The album opens with "Suicide Forest," a track named after Japan's Aokigahara forest, long associated with death and spiritual unrest. The song was the last to be written and ultimately gave the album its title. The idea behind it is not exploitation or shock value, but immersion. The project’s purpose has always been to dwell inside uncomfortable emotional spaces. Not to glorify despair, but to let it echo long enough that it starts to lose its shape.

Other tracks extend this concept in different ways. "Sea of Trees," another name for Aokigahara, is built around a single crushing riff, slowly embellished with lead parts that rise and twist like the restless spirits often imagined in that forest. "30 Years of Nothing" is a steadily intensifying drone, a nod to watching others move forward while one remains stuck, and to the anger and confusion that can follow. It is not subtle. It is not meant to be.

"Oath of Decay" combines the grit of down-tuned sludge with ghostly vocal textures, a rare hint of the ethereal amid the album's otherwise punishing density. "Self-Immolation Plan" uses backwards guitars and distant samples to conjure something cold and disjointed, while "Misery" returns to a mantra-like riff that builds layer upon layer until the song is buried under itself.

At the center of the record is "Theendlesslowlevelbackgroundhumofanxiety," a nearly eight-minute reflection on the constant buzz of modern life. With interference and feedback layered over simple but insistent riffs, the track explores the idea that anxiety has become so normalized we no longer recognize it for what it is. It hums in the background like an appliance left on for too long.

"Winter Delusion" is a longform drone that captures the grey stasis of the season. It resists resolution. It just exists. "Funeral Home Drone" provides a moment of almost cartoonish morbidity, while still adhering to the album’s strict emotional palette. "The Eye of the Goat," short and taut, imagines the satanic figure of the goat not as a force of chaos, but as an observer of ruins, a passive witness to failure and futility.

The final track, "Suicide Forest (demo)," strips the album’s opening song to its core. Gone are the layered textures and eerie effects. What remains is skeletal and uncertain, a glimpse at the root before it was buried under distortion. It serves as both a beginning and an ending, a quiet reminder of where the album came from and how far it has travelled.

Suicide Forest was engineered and co-mixed by Mike Bannard at Safehouse Studios in Oxford. Everything else, from recording, to mastering, to cover art, was handled by THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE. 

There is no relief in this record. That is not its purpose. It is a document of personal reckoning, born in isolation and shaped by years of psychological sediment. Suicide Forest does not ask to be liked. It asks only to be entered. Whether or not you come out the other side is entirely up to you.

About THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE:

THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE is an anonymous solo project from Oxford, England, crafting bleak, instrumental sludge and drone since 2023. With no vocals, no public identity, and no live appearances, the music exists in complete isolation: just distortion, repetition, and emotional exhaustion.

Emerging from the Welsh countryside with the debut EP Church Music for Satanists in early 2024, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE quickly established a signature sound: hypnotic, heavy, and relentlessly minimal. The follow-up full-length, Suicide Forest, released by drone alone in 2025, pushed further into themes of anxiety, decay, and existential fatigue, blending guitar-driven doom with eerie drones and field-recorded interference.

Influenced by artists such as ELECTRIC WIZARD, SUNN O))), EARTH, and CARTER/TUTTI/VOID, the project explores psychological weight through slow repetition and spiritual dissonance. There are no lyrics because nothing more needs to be said. The riffs are the message.

For those drawn to the darker corners of sound, where catharsis is earned through endurance, THE SORROW OF BEING IMMACULATE offers a solitary descent.

BRUTAL ASSAULT FESTIVAL: MEET & GREET UPDATE

Here is the new timetable with the addition of CARNIVORE A.D., NE OBLIVISCARIS and HIDEOUS DIVINITY.

 

DEVASTROSITY RELEASE "EVISCERATING DESOLATION"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Emerging from the Indonesian brutal death metal underground, Devastrosity is a violent entity formed by members of established bands like Deserter, Gorification and Killharmonic. They have brought all their experience and diverse talents together with the mission of creating one of the most savage and devastating sounds in existence. The Devastrosity name was introduced to the world last year with a limited edition demo entitled Human Depravation, which sent shudders through the extreme metal scene…but that was just the beginning. Now the band are ready to unleash the full force of their debut album, the spine-splitting Eviscerating Desolation!

Having exploded into life with the warped and wicked ‘Human Depravation’ there is simply no let up in the onslaught of brutality from Eviscerating Desolation. ‘Sadistic Purge Of Society Manifest’ hunts down those decreed to die with merciless efficiency, with tidal waves of double bass insanity swallowing everything in its path. The gradual reduction in speed in ‘Devastate Atrocity’ drags you down deeper and deeper into a slurry of human remains before flaying you alive in a rabid detonation of violence. ‘Decay Collapse’ delivers a hail of machine gun fire through naked flesh, tearing bodies apart and reducing all to a ragged, disordered mess – an impossible puzzle of shredded body parts. From the eerie intro that begins this tour of hell to the lingering echoes of final, disembowelling track, ‘Cadaveric Feast’ Devastrosity remain ferocious to the last venomous beat. Built upon killer riffs, and shockingly intense drumming, Eviscerating Desolation is an unstoppable assault of terrifying bloodlust.

Meticulously mixed and mastered at Texas Sicklab Studio, Eviscerating Desolation possesses an unusual clarity and separation of sound. Without losing any of its skull shattering impact, each vicious element of this abhorrent arsenal can be heard, exposing the individual cruelties and imaginative acts of torture to disturbing effect. Out on October 24th on Comatose Music, complete with the insane artwork of Rudi GorgingSuicide (Avulsed, Devangelic, Gutrectomy etc), Eviscerating Desolation will tear its way into the rotten hearts of brutal death metal fans everywhere.

COSMIC REAPER RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "BLOODFEATHER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

“Bloodfeather” is the latest single from North Carolina doom conjurors COSMIC REAPER. The track comes by way of the band’s  Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned full-length, set for release on September 26th via Heavy Psych Sounds Records.

Offers vocalist/guitarist Thad Collis of the track, “‘Bloodfeather' was inspired by an unfortunate goose that flew in front of our van while crossing a bridge on our way into Baltimore. We wanted to honor the memory of this winged one with a song about ritual sacrifice to Aphrodite, with crushing riffs and thunderous drums.”

Wrote The Sleeping Shaman of the track, "A slow-burning juggernaut of crushing riffs, ‘Bloodfeather’ is a bleak, hypnotic landscape that embodies the band’s signature blend of heavy doom and celestial despair." 

Stream COSMIC REAPER’s “Bloodfeather” HERE and across all streaming platforms.

Stream COSMIC REAPER’s previously released single, “Pot Of Gold,” HERE.

Since 2017, COSMIC REAPER has carried a black-flamed torch of tradition, forged in the long lineage of doom and sludge. Emerging from the shadows of Charlotte, the band blends a raw, southern swing with the full circle of heavy metal creating a sound as steeped in American mysticism as it is overloaded saturation of amplifier worship.

While their roots lie in the hallowed halls of Black Sabbath and Saint Vitus, the band’s DNA mutates further pulling from the textured anger of Soundgarden and even the chaotic forces of Snapcase. COSMIC REAPER isn’t interested in simply echoing the past; they swirl it a glass, layering a cocktail of thunderous bass and drums, brink-of-destruction fuzz, and ethereal vocals into a sonic ritual all their own.

The band’s self-titled debut, released in 2021 on Heavy Psych Sounds, announced their arrival with cataclysmic force earning praise for its crushing atmosphere, hard rock influenced riffs, and psychedelic accents. Tracks like “Hellion” and “Planet Eater” showcased their ability to drift between galactic doomscapes and swamp-born grooves. 2022’s follow-up Doom Sessions Vol. 7 saw a brief evolution in tempos and themes pulled from the remnants of the self-titled record.

Since then, much has changed. With lead guitar duties being passed on not once, but twice, COSMIC REAPER welcomed guitarist Pete Snasdell into the fold. A longtime stalwart of the UK heavy music scene, Snasdell brought an evolved sense of harmony and heaviness, expanding the band’s twin-guitar attack and deepening the commitment to the cult of heavy metal.

Now armed with a sharpened lineup – Thad Collis (vocals/guitar), Garret Garlington (bass), Jeremy Grobsmith (drums), and Pete Snasdell (guitar) – COSMIC REAPER continues to burn slow but be ever blinding. Their highly anticipated second full-length album, Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned, is deeper descent into psych-doom’s haunted core, the record sees a big step away from older stoner elements. promising to push their sonic boundaries further into the void – heavier, stranger, and more apocalyptic than ever before.

Comments Collis, “Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned is an album we poured our hearts into. We wanted to take our sound to a new level, but also call back to the roots of doom, with a touch of 90s angst. Lyrically, it touches on everything from standing up to tyranny, to revenge, to sacrifice, to love, lust, and betrayal all wrapped in themes of horror, science-fiction, and history. For the best listening experience: light one up and turn it up loud.”

Bleed The Wicked, Drown The Damned was recorded and mixed by Blake Hobson at Sense 2 Recording Studio and mastered by Esben Willems at Studio. The record will be released on CD, LP, and digital formats.

Find physical preorders at the Heavy Psych Sounds webshop HERE and digital orders at Bandcamp HERE.

BRUNDARKH RELEASE NEW SINGLE "ONE WITH THE MACHINE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Brundarkh Unleash Ferocious New Single “One With The Machine”

Out August 29, 2025 – A Crushing New Chapter in the Saga of Melodic Death Metal

Independent Release

https://brundarkh.bandcamp.com/

Brundarkh, the cinematic melodic death metal project known for weaving dark fantasy and extreme metal into immersive soundscapes, returns with their latest single “One With The Machine” — out August 29, 2025.

Produced by founding member Heino Brand alongside Caleb Bingham (Nightmare Sound Studios), the track marks a brutal evolution in Brundarkh’s sound. Mixed by Bingham and mastered by the legendary Thomas “Plec” Johansson (The Panic Room), “One With The Machine” dives into a cold, mechanized future where flesh and steel become indistinguishable — a far cry from the medieval darkness of their Tolkien-inspired past.

Following the critically praised Haunted Worlds EP and their epic full-length Those Born Of Fire And Shadow , Brundarkh’s new material steers into dystopian realms while maintaining their signature melodic aggression. Inspired by bands like Mors Principium Est , Children of Bodom , and early In Flames , the single balances symphonic flourishes with razor-sharp riffing and evocative atmosphere.

Though rooted in fantasy, Brundarkh is not confined by it. “One With The Machine” is a thematic shift — a glimpse into future releases that explore a broader spectrum of myth, fear, and imagination.

ABOUT BRUNDARKH

Formed in late 2020 by South African multi-instrumentalist Heino Brand , Brundarkh quickly gained attention with the debut single Wraith Dominion , featuring a guest solo by Jori Haukio of Mors Principium Est. Collaborating with Caleb Bingham (ex-Attika 7, ex-Zephaniah), the duo released Haunted Worlds in 2021 — a dark and layered EP steeped in gothic lore. Their full-length album Those Born Of Fire And Shadow followed, delving into tales from Tolkien’s The Silmarillion and featuring guests from Wolfheart , Before The Dawn , and Eternal Tears Of Sorrow .

Now, with “One With The Machine” , Brundarkh signals a new arc in their ever-evolving narrative — one that promises even darker, more dynamic storytelling through sound.

STERILIZING THE DECEASED RELEASE "NOTHING"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Emerging from the emotional depths of Cleveland, OH's deathcore underground, Sterilizing The Deceased announces the release of their soul-crushing third EP, “Nothing”, now available as of August 1st, 2025. This five-track record dives headfirst into addiction, loss, and recovery, offering a raw and reflective listening experience unlike anything fans have heard from them before.

​Formed during frontman Angelo Vespucci’s final year of high school, the band quickly evolved from high-energy house shows to writing deeply personal and musically ferocious work.

“I just wanted to start a band with my buddies, and this is where we began,” says Vespucci.

That seed has since grown into a sonic force of heavy, atmospheric, emotional, and aggressive music ready to be discovered on their new EP “Nothing”. This new offering is their most refined and impactful release to date. It is more than music; it's a mirror held up to the darkest parts of the soul. With themes of drug addiction and suicide, it chronicles Vespucci’s personal battles through an intense fiction-meets-nonfiction lens. From the reflective chaos of “Recovery” to the redemptive blast of “Awake,” each track brings fans closer to their emotional reckoning.

Vespucci comments:

"This EP has the real and raw emotion behind it, unlike some other previous pieces of work, as we were finding our sound. What I want people to take away from this album after listening to it is a personal reflection on oneself. Never straying too far from your path by getting lost in the darkness. Also, realizing other people in this world are dealing with the same pain you might be experiencing, and it’s okay to feel like that, just know there is always a way out back into the light."

The writing process is led by John Hruby and Angelo Vespucci, blending communal riff-building with emotionally charged lyricism. The band’s evolution from high school chaos to mature sonic expression is evident throughout the EP’s structure and themes. Musically, the band channels influences like Reflections, Chelsea Grin, and Lorna Shore, while pulling inspiration from genres such as melodic deathcore and progressive metalcore.

​The chilling album artwork for "Nothing" features a demon forcing a chalice on a resisting figure, a metaphor for battling addiction and the constant struggle to reclaim control. It’s as haunting and visceral as the music it represents.
