ENDLESS CHAIN RELEASE "NOTHINGNESS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Band: ENDLESS CHAIN

Album: Nothingness

Release Date: November 20, 2026

Country: Finland

Genre: Melodic Death/Gothic Metal

Label: M-Theory Audio

Founded by primary songwriter Timo Mölsä, ENDLESS CHAIN emerged as a deeply personal creative outlet before evolving into their formidable potential within the Finnish metal landscape. Characterized by rich, haunting melodies, crushing riffs, and atmospheric soundscapes, the band seamlessly bridges the gap between melancholic gothic metal and heavy melodic death metal.

On their debut release, ‘Forthcoming Past,’ ENDLESS CHAIN solidified a stable recording and performance lineup confirming vocalists Ville Hovi's (Kill The Romance, Blackstar Halo) and Aki Salonen (Gloria Morti, Nemecic), multi-instrumentalist and producer Aleksanteri Kuosa, and drummer Samuli Mikkonen (Korpiklaani, Profane Omen, Jonne). Together, they have refined a sound that balances dark, emotive storytelling with aggressive, soaring metal instrumentation.

Following up on the success of their 2021 debut album ENDLESS CHAIN returned in 2024 with their sophomore effort, ‘Agony.’ ‘Agony’ expanded the band’s signature atmospheric sound—weaving together heavy, melancholic metal foundations with progressive nuances and intricate gothic structures. Central to the album's identity is the compelling vocal dynamic between Ville Hovi's soaring clean vocals and Aki Salonen’s visceral, harsh growls. The 10-track collection delves deep into human struggle, resilience, and hope amid inner chaos. ‘Agony’ solidified ENDLESS CHAIN’s place in Finnish melodic metal, delivering a deeply emotional and sonic journey through light and shadow.

ENDLESS CHAIN IS:

Aki Salonen – Vocals (growls)

Ville Hovi – Vocals (clean)

Timo Mölsä – Guitar

Aleksanteri Kuosa – Guitar, Bass

Samuli Mikkonen – Drums

LIGHTS TO REMAIN RELEASE NEW SINGLE "INTO THE UNKNOWN"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The Finnish melodic death metal band Lights To Remain are set to release their second album 'Shattered Reality' later in 2027 via Inverse Records. The first single and music video 'Into the Unknown' is unleashed today and it's available here: https://push.fm/fl/lights-to-remain-unknown

Guitarist Eero Kouvo comments:

“Into the Unknown was the first song written by Lights to Remain’s current lineup, so it felt like the natural choice for our first single. It also captures the more melodic side of the album.

The song is about sharing a journey through life with an animal companion. Adopting a rescue animal is a leap into the unknown, but it can also be the beginning of a lifelong bond built on trust, companionship and love.

The music video for “Into the Unknown” was created in collaboration with a local animal shelter Eläinsuojelukeskus Miu, run by Kaakkois-Suomen eläinsuojeluyhdistys ry. Every member of Lights to Remain has pets at home, so supporting animal welfare and giving visibility to the important work done by animal rescue organizations was something we genuinely wanted to be part of. Every animal deserves a loving home.”

BIOGRAPHY:

Lights to Remain brings together the best elements of ’90s melodic death metal and blends them with 2000s metalcore. Their music combines melodic guitar work with rapidly shifting rhythms and powerful, anthemic choruses, creating a sound that is both dynamic and fiercely melodic.

In early 2027, the band will release their new album, Shattered Reality, which explores the struggles we face both within ourselves and in the world around us, as well as the complexities of human and animal relationships. The music video for “Into the Unknown” was created in collaboration with a local animal shelter Eläinsuojelukeskus Miu, highlighting the importance of animal welfare and the work of animal rescue organisations.

Lights to Remain performed at the KVLT Stage at Tuska in summer 2025, and their music has also received airplay on Finnish radio station Radio Rock. Known for their energetic live shows, the band delivers an experience that is impossible to ignore. As the mosh pit erupts and the crowd roars along, the energy in the room becomes almost tangible.

MINENFIELD RELEASE "INSTRUMENTS OF INDUSTRIALIZED WARFARE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

German death metal band Minenfeld released their second full-length, "Instruments of Industrialized Warfare", on October 16th, 2026. The album is available digitally, on CD, LP and cassette, with the CD released by Iconoclasm Conquest and the LP and cassette editions handled by Fucking Kill Records.

Seven years after their first full-length, Minenfeld return with a record firmly rooted in the sound of early '90s death metal. "Instruments of Industrialized Warfare" contains eight original tracks built around crushing riffs and a deliberately raw approach, plus a cover of Hellhammer's "The Third of the Storms".

War remains central to Minenfeld's music, but not as spectacle or glorification. The album focuses on its realities and consequences, while openly rejecting the resurgence of nationalism. The band's own message is direct: "Crush Nationalism!"

The album was recorded in November 2025 at Tonmeisterei Oldenburg by Dave. Mixing and layout were handled by Poison Drinker, with mastering by Patrick W. Engel at Temple Of Disharmony. The artwork was created by Cuero Negro.

VESSELES RELEASE NEW TRACK: "UNTIL THEY ARE DUST (RECLAIMED)"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

"Until They Are Dust (Reclaimed)" is the new single release from the symphonic black metal project, VESSELES. Arriving alongside a music video, the track lands ahead of the forthcoming full length, Home (Reclaimed), scheduled to arrive on March 26, 2027. 

Watch the track here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-9tY4Novmw

"Until They Are Dust (Reclaimed)" now contains the haunting vocal performance of VESSELES' founder Valira. The song is about the growth of one's self confidence, and the empowerment this brings, explored through the narrative of Valira’s demonic origins. In "Until They Are Dust (Reclaimed)," further worldbuilding reveals the origins of 'The Beneath.' The plain is described as “a horrific cursed sludge” that consumes all humans to then birth a new generation of demons.  

VESSELES is an artistic outlet allowing Valira the space to express and explore who they are. Home (Reclaimed) confronts the discomfort and complexity of what 'home' is to someone who is not from this world. Now recorded with their own vocals, Home (Reclaimed) captures fully Valira's origins and purpose. In addition to the vocal performance, the album is filled with piano driven leads, grandiose symphonic compositions, dissonant passages and pained progressions encapsulating their experience. 

Home (Reclaimed) was produced, mixed and mastered by Nick Loiacono at Fang Studios, San Mateo, CA. The album performance was by Valira Nyvran (vocals, guitars, composition, orchestrations, lyrics), Ron Graves (bass) and Nikolas Brön (drums). Special guests include Antonio Giardina (session piano) and The Vicken Studios Orchestra (choir chants on “Eternally Within Us (Reclaimed)”). Album cover artwork is by Mark Erskine. 

About VESSELES:

Founded in 2023, VESSELES is the sonic vessel through which Valira speaks the language of their origins. As composer, orchestrator, and architect, they craft bleak, incantatory soundscapes that fuse serrated guitars with haunted symphonic textures. Their voice, at once seething and spectral, now rises with increasing clarity, layered across both backing and lead roles in studio and on stage. This is not performance. It is possession. Through sound, they cast off the human shell and step fully into their true form: demon, exile, survivor. 

VESSELES unveiled the debut EP I Am A Demon in 2024, a liturgy of identity dysphoria, rage, and revelation. The debut full length offering Home emerged from the shadows at the turn of 2026, a devastating and majestic sophomore release that delves deep into identity, belonging, and the mythos of a demon cast into the human world.

Devised as a personal vessel for Valira, a demon entity discovering their truth through music, VESSELES fuses symphonic black metal with cinematic grandeur and emotional weight. This project is not just about sound; it's about survival, transformation, and reclaiming power in a world that was never built for them.

SLAVA ZIMA RELEASE "SMIAROTNY"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Blistering Black Metal, fused with the sorrow of Doom Metal and the plaintive tones of folk instruments, will transport you to a mind-bending state. Only the flame of change can set your soul free - just as the 'Smiarothy' album can guide your emotions in the right direction.

Released by reknown German label 'Solistitium Records' 

TRACKLIST

1- Nie Znajsci  05:38

2- I Ja Syjdu  05:40

3- Smiarotnaja  04:37

4- Pa-Za Cišynioj  06:24

5- Baharodzica  06:00

6- Ratujcie Vašy Dušy  05:01

7- Varjath  04:54

Slava Zima represents a new interpretation, a new meaning - a fresh sound amidst the multitude. The project was conceived at the dawn of 2021, when the spark of an idea regarding isolation ignited within its creator’s fevered mind. Only a new beginning could serve as the catalyst; amidst the darkness of existence and consciousness, the decision was made to forge an entirely new universe.

Rooted on the edge of the Belarusian marshlands - a realm defined by the legends and folklore of the native soil - Slava Zima took shape and endured from 2021 to 2023. In 2023, the project was joined by the renowned Belarusian vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Andrei Apanovich, marking the formation of an enduring, immortal union between the two musicians. The first album, Viatry ("Winds"), drew inspiration from the works of classic Belarusian folk poets and neoclassical writers. The second album, Harmidar (2025) - accompanied by a music video for the track "Kulamesa" - delivers a sound that is intensely aggressive and heavy; it is a dark, somber work.

Continuing to explore themes of darkness, melancholy, decadence, and oblivion, while weaving in natural motifs through the use of folk instruments, voices, and melodies, the third album promises to surpass all that came before. With professional-grade vocals, recording, and mixing, Slava Zima possesses a distinct, captivating charm. In 2026, the project signed with the label Solistitium Records, opening doors to greater opportunities and wider reach. The new album, Smiarotny ("Mortal"), is set for release in December 2026 across all digital platforms and on Digipak CD.

SAPROBIONTIC RELEASE "OF FIRE AND BLOODSHED"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Of Fire and Bloodshed

Black Lion Records

23 October 2026

Black Lion Records presents German death metal brutes Saprobiontic’s third full-length, Of Fire and Bloodshed, scheduled for October 23 on CD, vinyl, and digital formats.

Formed in 2012, Dresden-based Saprobiontic has undergone several lineup changes throughout the years, with founder Chris remaining the band’s only continuous member. With two critically acclaimed full-lengths under their belt, the German brutal death metallers have appeared at numerous festivals while sharing stages with the likes of Massacre (US), Cryptopsy, Jungle Rot, and Disgorge (US).

Recordings for the new album, Of Fire and Bloodshed, began in April 2025 at Deep Deep Pressure Studios in Austria, with Flo Musil (Agrypnie, Theotoxin) handling the drums and Lukas Haidinger (Profanity, Distaste) serving as sound engineer and producer.

Built on crushing riffs, relentless aggression, and a dark, uncompromising atmosphere, Of Fire and Bloodshed delivers a fierce blend of old-school death metal brutality and modern intensity. Expect ultra-tight drumming packed with furious blast beats, a menacing guitar tone, rumbling bass, plenty of groove, and guttural vocals throughout. The album combines furious, accentuated riffs with body-mutilating shifts, drawing influence from the likes of Suffocation and Cannibal Corpse.

Following the recordings, and with forthcoming shows in mind, the Saprobiontic completed their lineup by recruiting Loppi (Pikodeath) as their new lead vocalist later that year. Loppi also appears as a guest vocalist on the track “Shepherd of Doom.”

KING´S HAMMER RELEASE NEW SINGLE: "BREATHING NEW LIFE"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Back in February of this year Chuck Weatherman released The Color Of The Soul, the debut full length album from his solo death metal project, King's Hammer. Following on from the fierce 2025 EP, To Speak In Tongues, The Color Of The Soul cemented King's Hammer's reputation for delivering raw, powerful, confrontational death metal with its own unique character. The critical response to The Color Of The Soul was overwhelmingly positive with Heaven's Metal Magazine describing it as "a fury of death metal that leaves you begging for more". Now Weatherman is wielding the King's Hammer once more and a new single of unmistakeable, unvarnished ferocity has been unleashed - 'Breathing New Life'. A juddering monster of a track that features a typically domineering vocal performance from Weatherman, mixing bludgeoning beats and wicked harmonic interjections, 'Breathing New Life' builds to a furious, frantic conclusion. The single is available now via Bandcamp and on all major streaming platforms courtesy of Rottweiler Records and Broken Curfew Records, so be ready for the first signs of new life from King's Hammer!

HELGRIND SIGN WITH TIME TO KILL RECORDS

 

PRESS RELEASE:

British thrash metal crew HELGRIND have signed with Time To Kill Records for the release of their new album, "Shadows of Souls".

Featuring ten new tracks, the record captures a band shaped by decades of experience both in the studio and on stages across the UK and Europe, delivering a focused, hard-hitting take on thrash metal. Its tracklist alternates between high-speed assaults and more elaborate compositions, with a notably bleak atmosphere reflecting the troubled times we live in. Meticulous riff work and seasoned performances drive the album, drawing on the classic traditions of American and German thrash while injecting leaner, more direct passages with a punk-inspired edge.

"Shadows of Souls" marks the next chapter in a career that began in 2000 and has seen HELGRIND steadily build their reputation through releases and relentless touring.

Further details about the album, including its release date and first audio previews, will be announced in the coming weeks.

Biography:

Formed in the UK in 2000, HELGRIND emerged during a period when thrash metal was losing ground in the mainstream, developing an aggressive, punk-inflected take on the genre that helped them establish a loyal following across the British and European underground. After several years of live performances, the band released their debut album, "Denial", in 2005, laying the foundations for a career built on relentless riffing, uncompromising energy and a strong connection with their audience.

The group continued to refine their sound with the "Fallen Prophet" EP in 2007 and the second full-length, "Religious Persecution", in 2008, introducing melodic and clean guitar passages alongside their thrash metal foundations. Their third album, "Inquisition", followed in 2010, while "Insurrection", written in 2015, was eventually released in 2021 through Metal Rocka Records after a lengthy delay caused by label disagreements.

Extensive touring has remained central to HELGRIND's history, taking them across the UK and continental Europe through festival appearances and headline shows. Despite the interruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and a serious accident that required vocalist Paula Nelson to relearn how to walk, the band returned to the stage in 2022 and continued to build momentum. In 2024, they recorded their fourth studio album, "Shadows of Souls", a ten-track collection conceived as a fast, heavy and unrelenting statement. New material was road-tested in Germany, Austria and the UK in 2025 and 2026, as the band prepared for their next chapter.

Paula Nelson – Vocals

Simon James Ellis - Lead Guitar
