PAINDEMIC RELEASE DEBUT SINGLE: "FWF"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

PainDemic Unleash Debut Single "FWF" Across All Streaming Platforms Ahead of Full-Length Album McGovney’s House Party

Heavy melodic metal outfit PainDemic have officially released their debut single, "FWF," now available on Spotify and all major digital streaming platforms as of February 27, 2026. The track serves as the first official recording from the project and the opening chapter of their upcoming full-length album, McGovney's House Party , scheduled for Spring 2027 via No Life Till Metal, with early release activity through Gutted Records on Bandcamp.

PainDemic is built on a foundation of deep American metal history and a fresh surge of new energy. The rhythm section features Gary Monardo (bass) alongside drummer Johnnie Tabares, both widely known for their work on landmark recordings with Hirax, including Raging Violence and Hate, Fear and Power . While Tabares is no longer an active member of the band moving forward, his performance remains part of the recorded foundation of this early material.

On vocals, Rob Perkins brings a long and varied history in the underground. In the early 1980s, Perkins performed in Wargod alongside legendary drummer Gene Hoglan and guitarist Michelle Meldrum before later reuniting with Monardo and Tabares in Cold Blood during the late 1980s demo era.

Leading the next generation of the lineup is guitarist Cheyenne Scott, a rising talent awarded the Cliff Burton Scholarship in 2023, named in honor of the late Metallica bassist. The award recognized her early passion for "Creeping Death" and her dedication to developing her craft within the spirit of classic heavy metal.

Production for "FWF" and the upcoming album is handled by legendary producer Bill Metoyer, known for his work with Slayer, Flotsam and Jetsam, Armored Saint, and many other cornerstone acts of the genre. Recording took place at Travis Dickerson Recording Studio in Chatsworth, California, in August 2025, with mixing and mastering completed in December 2025.

Sonically, PainDemic pulls from the roots of classic heavy metal, thrash aggression, and melodic weight, built for listeners who still value grit, songwriting, and raw energy over digital polish.

For fans of Anthrax, Metallica, and Slayer, PainDemic sits right in that lineage where thrash attitude meets heavy metal tradition. Early algorithmic support on Spotify has already linked the project to these cornerstone artists, reinforcing the band's natural placement in the modern heavy metal ecosystem.

The visual identity remains raw and hand-crafted. Band artwork is created by Fae Kington, while the logo was hand-drawn by Dea Monardo, keeping the aesthetic grounded in traditional metal presentation.

With "FWF" now streaming worldwide, PainDemic continues building momentum toward the release of McGovney's House Party , currently in its final writing stages ahead of a Spring 2027 release.

Band Bio

PainDemic is a collision of legacy and evolution. Formed by musicians with roots in the early American metal underground, the band bridges eras of thrash and heavy metal without chasing trends or digital gloss. With members tied to historically significant recordings and a new generation guitarist pushing the sound forward, PainDemic delivers music built on experience, attitude, and pure volume.

Quote

"We didn't build this to sound polished or safe. We built it to feel like a live wire. 'FWF' is just the first shock through the system."  PainDemic

PainDemic is just getting started, and if "FWF" is the warning shot, the full-length album is going to hit a lot harder.

FERALIA RELEASE "ULTIMA REQUIES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Black Metal Promotion is now hosting the exclusive premiere of “Ultima Requies”, the new album from Italian-Swedish black metal entity FERALIA, set for release on June 26, 2026 via ATMF.

The band’s third full-length further expands their distinctive interpretation of the genre, combining raw riffs with a profound sense of introspection. Built around themes of death, memory and ancient symbolism, the album moves between violent eruptions and more immersive, solemn passages, creating a deeply evocative journey through darkness and transcendence. “Ultima Requies” stands as a powerful and uncompromising statement, where intensity and spirituality coexist in a singular vision.

Stream the album at THIS LOCATION.

With this third full-length, FERALIA delve deeper into their singular vision of Black Metal, forging a work that resists easy categorization. “Ultima Requies” is neither rooted in old school orthodoxy nor aligned with the polished tendencies of contemporary production. Instead, it stands as a raw and evocative offering, where abrasive textures and ritualistic atmospheres converge into something austere, immersive and profoundly spiritual.

The sound remains anchored in a sense of the sacred, drawing from arcane and occult dimensions tied to the archaic Roman world. Each composition unfolds as a passage, evoking forgotten rites, liminal states and the tension between life and death, presence and absence.

The artwork of “Ultima Requies” reflects this vision, depicting a reinterpretation of the necromantic ritual of Erichto, the Thessalian witch described in “De Bello Civili” by Lucan. A figure feared even by the gods, Erichto was said to raise fallen soldiers from the battlefield during one of the most turbulent phases of Roman civil war. This imagery embodies the album’s core: a confrontation with death not as an end, but as a threshold to forbidden knowledge.

Following the path opened by “Helios Manifesto” and “Under Stige / Over Dianam”, FERALIA further refine their language, balancing raw intensity with a deeply contemplative undercurrent. The result is an album that feels both immediate and timeless, grounded in the physicality of Black Metal yet reaching toward something intangible and eternal.

Tracklist:

01. Ballata Avernale (8:01)

02. Ver Sacrum (8:50)

03. Pharsalia (9:22)

WARTHRASH RELEASE "NO LIGHT SHALL REMAIN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: WARTHRASH

Album: No Light Shall Remain

Release Date: June 19, 2026

Country: Colombia

Label: Awakening Records

Genre: Death Metal

WARTHRASH’s second full-length album No Light Shall Remain will be released on June 19, 2026 via Awakening Records. The album will be available on CD and digital formats.

Formed in 2005 in Medellín, Colombia, WARTHRASH have gradually moved from their early thrash roots into a heavier and darker sound, incorporating elements of classic death metal while keeping the speed and directness of thrash intact.

The band’s sound draws from classic death metal influences such as DEATH, MORBID ANGEL, ENTOMBED, and DISMEMBER.

On No Light Shall Remain, the band works within that space without overcomplicating it. The material leans on fast, riff-driven structures, occasional blast beats, and mid-tempo sections that give the songs room to breathe. “Culebras Sin Honor” features blazing guitar riffs, grunted vocals, and quick blast beats, while “Oscura Condena” is equally intense with relentless and intense dynamics throughout its runtime. “Undefeated” and “Hand of Doom” have a majestic vibe and a galloping rhythmic groove, with “Hand of Doom” also being Infernal Majesty-inspired.

The band operates as a four-piece, with each member contributing to the writing process, giving the album variation without losing focus. The result is a record that stays consistent in tone without feeling one-dimensional.

Lyrically, the album moves through themes of power, decay, and confrontation, without focusing on a single concept. The atmosphere stays direct, matching the overall sound of the record.

The album was recorded and mastered at Area 51 Studios in Medellín. The production remains clear but avoids over-polishing, maintaining a raw edge. The cover artwork by Felipe Mora follows the same direction, in line with the band’s identity.

Merciless spoke about the album’s writing process:

“The songwriting process for this album had two key elements. First, the addition of myself on second guitar brought new ideas and textures to the band’s sound. Second, we wanted to stay true to our identity while pushing beyond what we had done on our previous EP. We didn’t rush the process at all. We took the time to carefully work on every detail, and we believe that shows in the final result - a solid and well-crafted album.”

On signing with Awakening Records:

“We’re really excited to be working with Awakening Records, especially because we’ve been following their work with Colombian bands for a while now. We truly respect the quality of their releases and the exposure they’ve helped some bands achieve in recent years. Our expectations are to reach new audiences with our music and expand into new markets. We see this album as the beginning of a strong and long-lasting relationship, not only with the label but also with metalheads in Asia and Europe.”

SALLOW MOTH RELEASE NEW SINGLE "BIOHYBRID VIRULENCE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Progressive Death Metal duo, Sallow Moth, in collaboration with No Clean Singing, has premiered "Biohybrid Virulence," the second single from upcoming Willowtip album, Hydrophilous Brood! Stream it below!

nocleansinging.com/2026/06/16/an-ncs-premiere-sallow-moth-biohybrid-virulence/

Hydrophilous Brood takes place in Pamugara, a dimensional nest immersed in a lush world where organisms are rematerialized into new hybrid species after passing through a powerful portal, a highly unpredictable artifact known as the ‘Mossbane Lantern’. Each song has a thematic connection to various artifacts on the previous album (Mossbane Lantern), extrapolating the characteristics and aftereffects of those artifacts within this temperamental environment of a planet.

Musically, Sallow Moth goes hand in hand with the aforementioned lyrical themes of transformation in that the continuous evolution of the project has become a signature feature with each album. This album retains a portion of the genre-shifting approach of previous works, but deliberately exhibits more focus on the intersection of technical death metal and brutal death metal, especially with the addition of a highly skilled drummer in Allen Gingerich. Notable influences on Hydrophilous Brood include Mortal Decay, Wormed, Deeds of Flesh, Cephalic Carnage, and Cynic. 

Hydrophilous Brood is out July 24 on vinyl, CD, and digital formats via Willowtip Records!

SEA SLEEPER RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "LUNAR DEGENERATES"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Heavy, atmospheric, and built for maximum neck damage, SEA SLEEPER return with their new single, “Lunar Degenerates,” the latest preview of their forthcoming sophomore album, Burden of Antlers, set for release on September 18, 2026.

“Lunar Degenerates” captures the band at their most visceral and dynamic, fusing classic crunchy, bang-your-head riffage with the expansive progressive weight that has become a defining part of SEA SLEEPER’s sound. The track also leans into the band’s long-running Mastodon influence, particularly the Crack the Skye-esque textures that have surfaced across both of their albums.

The band calls “Lunar Degenerates” “easily the funnest song on the record to play,” pointing to its high-energy riffs, shifting atmosphere, and explosive return from an ambient passage back into the main riff as one of the song’s standout moments.

With its mix of brute force, spacey atmosphere, and locked-in rhythmic power, “Lunar Degenerates” offers another glimpse into the world of Burden of Antlers, an album that promises to expand SEA SLEEPER’s sonic range while staying rooted in the crushing, riff-forward heaviness that first defined them.

Burden of Antlers arrives September 18, 2026.

About SEA SLEEPER:

With a passion for death and post metal, SEA SLEEPER infuse their heavy sound with an array of genre influences to produce something more dynamically extreme. The band formed in 2019 comprised of Jesse Cooley (guitar/lead vocals), Shane Cooley (drums/vocals), and Nick Kessler (bass/vocals), with Tony Spradlin (lead guitar/vocals) subsequently completing the line-up in 2022. 

The debut EP Nihilism was released independently in 2019, followed by their acclaimed debut album Nostophobia. Released in 2021 via Metal Assault Records, Nostophobia garnered notable recognition achieving #10 album of the year for Noob Heavy and #7 spot for album of the year at GBHBL in 2021, as well as seeing the band become a Top Selling Bandcamp artist in the same year.
