The spark that ignited Dead Posey was a shared love for rock’s dark heart. Danyell, then immersed in acting and modeling, found her calling one night in Tony’s studio. Already a seasoned musician with Eve 6 and a producer in his own right, Tony witnessed Danyell’s raw talent as she sang Nirvana’s “Come As You Are.” “A newfound passion was unlocked in me,” she recalls, “I knew from that moment in my bones that this is what I was meant to do in life.” They hit the ground running, writing songs that would soon define their unique sound.
Their early “Freak Show EP” era, what they now call Dead Posey 1.0, was a significant milestone, landing them publishing and record deals, along with crucial sync placements. At the time, they believed they had found their soundโa bluesy, garage-rock feel. However, the road ahead held more evolution. As they played live more often, their sound matured, growing harder and more aggressive, embracing darker, synthier rock with heavy guitars. This transformation led to Dead Posey 2.0, where they truly found their stride, blending their favorite influences into a cohesive, powerful force. Playing new songs live before release became a vital part of this evolution, injecting a new level of energy into their recordings.
Early tracks like “Don’t Stop the Devil” became unexpected launching pads, propelling their music into TV and film. These placements were a crucial early boost, providing funding for gear, tours, and merch. “Itโs funny looking back, though,” Danyell muses, “our sound has changed so much since then, and we thought that time was the peak. But in reality, it was just the beginning.” This early success taught them a valuable lesson: constant growth and adaptation are essential to building a solid, sustainable foundation in an ever-changing industry.
Their sound is a potent cocktail of influences, a blend of Marilyn Manson, Garbage, Hole, Nine Inch Nails, Nirvana, and Depeche Mode. They gravitate toward anything with dark energy, industrial textures, raw emotion, classic melodies, and a guitar thrust. It’s an intuitive process, a musical blender where everything goes in, and something uniquely Dead Posey emerges. The Freak Show EP, their debut, remains a special marker of their journey, an “innocent but still polished” snapshot of their early days, even as they’ve creatively moved far beyond it.
Breaking into the competitive music industry as a DIY band presented immense challenges, and they’re still pushing boundaries a decade later. They’ve learned not to rely on fickle industry support, choosing instead to focus on what they can control: creating music they’re passionate about and fostering genuine connections with fans through social media and live shows. Their mantra: “Fluff doesnโt create a sustainable career; itโs the hard work you put in every day when no oneโs watching that truly makes a difference.” Looking back, their advice to their younger selves would be blunt: “Buckle up – this journey is a long, winding road! The blood, sweat, and tears it will take are beyond imagination so be ready.” They’ve been knocked down countless times, but their unwavering love for creating music, performing live, and connecting with their fans always pulls them back up.
A palpable fire ignites Dead Posey’s latest releases. Their current sound is fueled by rebellion, survival, and self-liberation, a visceral response to the chaos of the world. They’re relentlessly pushing through darknessโmentally, emotionally, and sonicallyโemerging stronger with every note. Uninterested in trends, they channel years of frustration, power, and resilience into music that is unapologetically their own, designed to endure.
Current Energy & Headspace
While their sound has evolved, their core songwriting and production process remains collaborative. Danyell brings thematic and lyrical vision, while Tony, a versatile musician, masterfully pulls everything into a cohesive, impactful whole. They’ve always been hands-on, writing and producing every element themselves. A significant recent shift involves road-testing new songs live before finalizing them, allowing them to gauge audience connection and infuse recordings with live energy.
Beyond the music, Dead Posey cultivates an iconic visual aesthetic, an extension of their sound. Every release is an opportunity to expand the Dead Posey universe, telling stories through artwork, photos, and stage attire. They draw inspiration from gritty rock ‘n’ roll, vintage flair, dark surrealism, and classic and modern horror, letting the visuals organically rise from the music itself.
Maintaining creative chemistry amidst constant demands requires discipline. They strive to shut out distractions in the studio, finding inspiration in their creative space. Their shared investment in every aspect of the band keeps them grounded and hungry. It’s a delicate balance of trust, taking necessary breaks, and open communication. Their driving force: “The energy we put into the band is what will keep it thriving.”
In an industry where mental health is paramount, they prioritize staying grounded by focusing on what they can control, often breaking it down into week-by-week chunks. They’ve learned not to chase external validation, instead centering on creating music they love and connecting with their fans. Setting boundaries with industry interactions has become crucial for protecting their energy and mental space. Self-care, even in small ways, is essential for navigating the chaos. This past year, they’ve embraced resilience, learning that growth flourishes in discomfort and uncertainty, leading to greater confidence and personal evolution. Their proudest moments of 2024 include releasing their debut album, Are You In A Cult?, headlining shows in the UK, and playing for their biggest crowd yet at Spain’s Rockland festival.
What Lies Ahead
With their debut full-length album, Are You In A Cult?, recently released, Dead Posey is taking time to let it resonate, focusing on touring and bringing their sonic world to as many fans as possible. While always writing, they’re not rushing into another album, instead considering collabs or special versions of existing songs for later in the year. Their dream collaborations span legends like Lady Gaga, Marilyn Manson, Nine Inch Nails, Depeche Mode, or Garbage, recognizing these artists’ profound influence on Dead Posey’s DNA, but they’re equally open to teaming up with rising acts who share their vibe.
Dead Posey remains a core duo, bringing in talented live musicians for their shows. Their vision and songwriting will always stem from the two of them. Their ultimate goal is to become a headlining act, capable of easily touring small to medium clubs, and from there, building to bucket-list aspirations like headlining festivals and becoming a household name. They’re not waiting for opportunities; they’re building their own solid foundation.
They constantly push boundaries in their sound and performance, aiming for an immersive live experience that transcends mere song delivery, engaging audiences on a deeper level with visuals and raw energy. They refuse to stay stagnant, always striving to surprise themselves and their fans. In a rock, alt, and industrial landscape that often blurs genre lines, Dead Posey stands apart with their raw energy and authenticity, in it for the long haul to build their own path.
Ultimately, Dead Posey hopes to leave a lasting mark by demonstrating that success and a loyal fanbase can be found outside “the club,” even in a constantly shifting social media landscape. They aspire to inspire other artists to trust their instincts and remain true to their vision, even when external pressures push in different directions.

Metal Blade Records is thrilled to welcome Tasmanian death metal behemoths PSYCROPTIC to its esteemed roster for the release of their forthcoming new full-length album. To mark the occasion, the band has just unleashed their new video and single, “Architects Of Extinction.”
PSYCROPTIC stands as Australia’s most globally respected death metal act for a quarter-century. When the history of technical metal is written, PSYCROPTIC will undoubtedly claim a hefty chapter. They carved their path into the underground in the late ’90s and have consistently pushed the genre forward with their dense riff jungles, bursting into powerfully rhythmic grooves and blasts. The profound talent of brothers Joe (guitar) and Dave Haley (drums) anchors their sound. Joe’s esoteric picking style weaves hooks that ensnare listeners, while Dave’s pulsating rhythms provide the backbone. Their level of synchronization is unparalleled, a testament to decades of playing together. The telepathic performance is only matched by the precise contributions of Todd Stern on bass and the charismatic roar of Jason Peppiatt. Like true masters, they make the impossible look impossibly easy.
Guitarist Joe Haley comments on the signing: “Having grown up listening to countless amazing bands on the Metal Blade roster, the label had a big impact on shaping who we are as musicians, essentially becoming an integral part of our creative DNA. From the early days of picking up our instruments to finding our own sound as a band, Metal Blade has always represented the pinnacle of heavy music and a place where groundbreaking artists are created and thrive. So we’re beyond honored to announce that we’re officially joining the Metal Blade family โ a surreal and humbling moment for all of us in PSYCROPTIC. We’re currently in the final stages of finishing our new album, and we can’t wait to share what we’ve been working on. To kick off this awesome new chapter on the right note, we’re dropping our brand-new single, ‘Architects Of Extinction.’ Enjoy.”
Bassist Todd Stern adds, “As PSYCROPTIC prepares to release our ninth full-length studio album, we couldn’t be more excited about the fact that we’ve joined forces with the one and only Metal Blade Records, who will be handling its release. We feel that at this point in our career, both the timing and the fit are seemingly perfect. Metal Blade and its roster have always been exceptional, and we are very grateful and humbled to join such a legendary list of artists that have been part of the label’s family throughout the ages. We are adding the final touches on our next record, but in the meantime we have something savory prepared: a dense, hard-hitting single entitled ‘Architects Of Extinction.’ Get ready for the golden age of Tasmania’s most prolific metal band!”

Most bands take a few albums to find their feet, but PSYCROPTIC’s first two releases were underground classics: The Isle Of Disenchantment (2001, self-released) and The Scepter Of The Ancients (2003, Unique Leader). Vocalist Matthew Chalk and bassist Cameron Grant were part of the first squad who joined the Haleys on their quest for perfection. A relentless touring schedule emerged in Australia, including legendary appearances at Canberra’s Metal For The Brain festival. Normally this would be the high point for an Australian metal band. Two albums out, successful shows, who could ask for more?
Tasmania couldn’t contain them, and as it turned out, neither could Australia. Their first overseas tour was Europe in 2004. Matthew was replaced on vocals by Jason Peppiatt, and PSYCROPTIC went on to record Symbols Of Failure (2006, Neurotic). The band expanded their sound with Ob (Servant) (2008, Nuclear Blast), bringing in ambience and atmosphere, then The Inherited Repression (2012, Nuclear Blast) introduced the powerful neck-cracking grooves that would mark their sound going forward.
It also introduced them to touring the US with their first happening in 2010. This pushed their lust for the road to new levels, smashing audiences and stupefying musicians around the planet. They’re unique among death metal bands in that it’s almost pointless to try and list the festivals and countries they’ve visited, let alone the bands they’ve played with. It can be condensed to “everyone, everywhere.” Official estimates are at forty countries.
PSYCROPTIC solidified their American relationship by signing to Prosthetic Records in 2014, replacing Cameron on bass with US legend Todd Stern in 2015, then releasing their self-titled album in the same year. At this point something indefinable clicked, and the band unleashed As The Kingdom Drowns (2018), a clear step up from their previous work. Divine Council (2022) proved that this wasn’t a new level for the band – it’s a new normal. Origin vocalist Jason Keyser, long considered a part of PSYCROPTIC’s extended family, contributed vocals to Divine Council as well as the upcoming new material. Keyser remains a session and live vocalist on select tours.
Signing to the legendary Metal Blade Records for their forthcoming full-length album โ there is no slowing down. PSYCROPTIC are no longer the local Australian band made good: they are a global powerhouse with a footprint the size of the world, nothing left to prove, and an endless commitment to finding ways to rock you as hard as technically possible.

Critics have lauded the album, with Revolver praising its “blistering attack of ground-fissuring blasts, terror-thrashed guitar melodies and guts-hucking mosh sections.” Metal Injection agreed, calling it “heavy as shit, it’s unrelenting, and it will destroy you.” MetalSucks championed it as “one of WHITECHAPEL’s heaviest offerings since the glory days of The Somatic Defilement and This Is Exile,” adding that it “captures that same raw energy and mouth-frothing rage… but with a new and improved modern twist.” Blabbermouth hailed the band’s “…white-knuckle, weaponized deathcore with brains, brawn, and a point to prove.

Bay Area titans MACHINE HEAD are back with a brutal vengeance. The band just dropped a high-octane music video for โBรNESCRAPERโ, the second single from their upcoming eleventh studio album UNATรNED, and itโs every bit as feral, emotional, and relentless as fans hoped for.
โThis oneโs for those of us with darkness in our heart,โ shares the band. โItโs about love lost, about those who fail at loveโฆ but keep on trying. We scrape our bones to numb the pain.โ
Directed by longtime collaborator Mike Sloat, the video cuts deepโvisually raw and emotionally charged. In addition to the single, the band has also announced a special BรNESCRAPER Edition LP of UNATรNED, limited to just 1,000 copies worldwide and shipping June 17.

New Album ZENITH Out Now via Nuclear Blast Records
Scottish metal juggernauts BLEED FROM WITHIN have unleashed the official visualiser for โViolent Nature,โ the explosive opening track from their brand-new album Zenith, out now via Nuclear Blast Records.
โThis is the best collection of songs we’ve ever put together and a massive step forward for us creatively. Since we released Hands Of Sin last year, weโve worked hard to deliver something that gives purpose to the time weโve dedicatedโand fills a void in modern metal. Here’s to the future.โ
๐งจ Early Praise for Zenith
โRaises the bar for Bleed From Withinโand dares everyone else to match it.โ โ Metal Hammer โBona fide heavyweight contenders.โ โ Kerrang! โTheir smartest, heaviest, and most distinctive album by far.โ โ Blabbermouth
Brutality meets orchestral darkness in this slow-burning tech-death epic
Colorado tech-death force ALLEGAEON has just dropped a brand-new video for โWake Circling Aboveโ, a haunting highlight from their latest album The Ossuary Lens, out now via Metal Blade Records.
Guitarist Michael Stancel sheds light on the songโs cinematic weight:
โEzra wanted something slow and heavy, and I was like, โDONE.โ I drew inspiration from Dimmu Borgir and Septicflesh to build those massive orchestral sections. Itโs probably the most different track on the record, but still packed with classic ALLEGAEON-isms.โ
ALLEGAEONโs seventh full-length marks the return of original vocalist Ezra Haynes, whose presence fuels a brutal rebirth. The Ossuary Lens dives deep into deathโs many formsโeach track a perspective, each riff a reckoning. Itโs the most unified, visceral ALLEGAEON album to date.
Final dates of the Vortex of Violence Tour with Warbringer, Skeletal Remains, and Summoning The Lich:

๐ก๏ธ Death Reborn Through Sound
The Ossuary Lens reunites the band with producer Dave Otero (Flatline Audio), known for capturing the balance of uncompromising ferocity and melodic grandeur that has become the band’s signature.
The album is more than technical fireworksโit’s a soul-splitting descent into mortality, sharpened by Haynes’ raw vocal return and thematic depth.
๐ฌ Praise for The Ossuary Lens
โAbsolutely fucking blistering.โ โ Metal Injection โMaximalist and masterful.โ โ Decibel Magazine โA return to form and evolution in one stroke.โ โ No Clean Singing โSavage and emotionally potent.โ โ Hotel Hobies โBrutal, sophisticated, hypnotic.โ โ The Dark Melody
Swedish death metal crushers LIK are back with a brand-new single, โMorgue Rat,โ taken from their upcoming full-length Necro, out April 18th via Metal Blade Records.
This twisted and groovy slab of horror-metal features guest vocals from Linnea Landstedt (Tyranex, Ice Age) and is inspired by infamous necrophiliac Karen Greenlee. โItโs about a mortician who canโt keep her hands off the dead,โ says vocalist/guitarist Tomas ร kvik. โItโs also our first track ever with clean-ish guitars.โ
With Necro, LIK have created their most intense, punishing, and twistedly cinematic release yet. Drawing from the putrid depths of old-school Swedish death metal ร la Dismember, Entombed, and At The Gates, this record offers ten blood-soaked tracks that are as groovy as they are gruesome. Think zombie flick meets Stockholm soundโraw, brutal, and utterly irresistible.
The albumโs cover art was designed by Stockholm tattoo artist Jens Olsson and serves as a visual appetizer for the carnage within.
๐งช Recorded with Pure Necro Intentions
Neco was tracked live in just three days at Necromorbus Studio (NBS) in Sรถderfors, Sweden, with production wizard Lawrence Mackrory (Meshuggah, Katatonia, Decapitated). ร kvikโs vocals were laid down separately at Rorysound Studios in Uppsala. Mackroryโs been behind the board for LIK since their 2015 debut Mass Funeral Evocation, and Necro may just be the bandโs defining moment.
The album also features guest appearances from Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath), Lawrence Mackrory himself, and Linnea Landstedt.

Progressive death metal boundary-breakers FRACTAL UNIVERSE have dropped a brand-new music video for their latest single โA New Cycleโ โ the third and final preview from their upcoming full-length, The Great Filters, out this Friday, April 4th via M-Theory Audio.
The track dives into the speculative sci-fi concept of directed panspermia โ humanity, teetering on extinction, sends probes filled with primordial life across the cosmos to spark new civilizations. But those civilizations, destined to repeat our same fatal mistakes, find themselves trapped in a never-ending loop of rise and ruin.
Directed by Pauline Colombani (www.c3polette.com), the video is the latest visual chapter following โCausalityโs Gripโ and โThe Seed of Singularity,โ all showcasing FRACTAL UNIVERSEโs signature fusion of progressive technicality and eerie saxophone-laced soundscapes.
๐ง About The Great Filters
Due out April 4, 2025, The Great Filters is FRACTAL UNIVERSEโs most ambitious and intricate album to date. Merging heavy riffs, jazz-influenced melodies, and philosophical storytelling, it delivers a cerebral experience laced with cosmic awe. Recorded at Boundless Production Studios and Fractal Headquarters, the album was mixed and mastered by Flavien Morel (Benighted Soul, Catalyst).

๐งฌ FRACTAL UNIVERSE โ A Legacy of Evolution
Formed in 2015 in Nancy, France, FRACTAL UNIVERSE made their debut with the independent EP Boundaries of Reality before signing to Kolony Records for 2017โs Engram of Decline, a concept record influenced by Nietzsche. They joined Metal Blade Records for 2019โs Rhizomes of Insanity, exploring fragmented human consciousness with technical brilliance. Their critically acclaimed 2021 album The Impassable Horizon tackled themes of determinism and free will, all while integrating saxophone flourishes into their progressive metal palette. Having toured with heavyweights like Obscura, Evergrey, Black Dahlia Murder, and God Dethroned, FRACTAL UNIVERSE continue to carve their place as one of the most innovative acts in modern metal.
French sonic chaos-conductor Gautier Serre, better known as IGORRR, is set to release his fifth full-length album Amen on September 19th via Metal Blade Records. As always, IGORRR defies genre, logic, and expectations, weaving together breakcore, baroque, metal, and absurdism into something that sounds like nothingโand everythingโall at once. The first single, โADHDโ, arrives with a video that’s as demented as it is mesmerizing. Directed by Meat Dept, the visual journey is part therapy session, part brain meltdown, with an AI-glitched aesthetic that takes cringe into addictive territory.
โThis album is darker and more solemn than anything Iโve done before,โ says Serre. โI recorded a real choir in a church, and did deep experimental sound design to create something that truly resonates.โ Despite the somber tone, Amen doesnโt skimp on IGORRRโs trademark absurdity. Tracks like โBlastbeat Falafelโ and โADHDโ serve as sonic palate cleansers, injecting manic energy and unpredictability into the albumโs bleak weight. โThose wild tracks are necessary,โ Gautier explains. โLike a shot of limoncello between courses.โ
๐งฌ The Mind Behind the Mayhem
Gautier describes his process as a constant stream of subconscious composition. โMusic happens even in my sleep,โ he says. โI create concertos in my dreamsโthe challenge is filtering through them to find the ones worth bringing into reality.โ On the new video, he adds: โADHD is kind of autobiographical. It starts in silence and ends in chaos, like a brain spinning out of control but somehow still standing.โ The videoโs collaborators, Meat Dept, also known for IGORRRโs viral โVery Noise,โ blended 3D visuals with AI for a surreal, twisted vibe. โWe leaned into ‘mental cringe’ with aesthetic influences from James Bond to Fantรดmas,โ they say.

Released via Nuclear Blast, the bandโs seventh album is their most ambitious and emotionally devastating effort yet. Produced by Will Putney at Graphic Nature Audio, the record trades fleeting trends for timeless terrorโdelivering ten dense, dynamic tracks that explore everything from planetary collapse to personal despair.

With a reputation for jaw-dropping live performances and soaring post-metal grandeur, the Glasgow-based five-piece is poised to deliver their most immersive run yet.
Fresh off the critical buzz surrounding Voidkindโhailed as โpost-metal album of the decade thus farโ by Metal Hammer UKโDVNE will journey from the UK to Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and back, with additional festival appearances lined up for summer 2025.
Recorded in rural Scottish isolation, Voidkind strips down DVNEโs sonic density while amplifying their emotional impact. Lyrically, the album follows a dream-haunting godlike entity and the generations of followers it seducesโa concept echoed in Felix Abel Klaerโs stunning artwork and the bandโs explosive live execution.

Twenty-five years into their reign, PSYCLON NINE have returned to the abyss with a vengeance. Their latest full-length offering, And Then Oblivion, out March 21, 2025 via Metropolis Records, is a genre-defying sonic invocationโa twisted ritual that fuses blackened industrial, deathcore, ambient, trap, and metal into something altogether untamed and unclean.
Helmed by longtime visionary Nero Bellum, the album shatters expectation with tracks like โCRWLNG FRM CNT T CSKTโ and โI Choose Violence,โ merging visceral textures with apocalyptic production and spine-splintering vocals. Bellum explains,
โI specifically set out to break as many genre limitations as possible, while staying true to the concepts and imagery Psyclon Nine evokes.โ

Out now via Out Of Line Music, rising Australian darkwave duo VOWWS return with the haunting new single โHurt Youโ โ a brooding, sensual exploration of love, memory, and longing. Following the success of their hard-hitting track โBloodโs On Fireโ featuring Josh Freese of Foo Fighters, โHurt Youโ brings a more intimate, melancholic energy while maintaining their signature cinematic edge.
โThis is probably as close as weโll get to an actual love song,โ VOWWS explain. โBut itโs more like a memory of love. A rose-tinted longing… Sometimes these memories change and become their own entity, like an old, flickering movie of the past. That feeling is what the song represents to us.โ
Known for their fearless fusion of industrial, electronica, and alt-rock, VOWWS (Rizz + Matt James) have already captured the attention of legends like Deftones, Gary Numan, Korn, A Perfect Circle, and Billy Corgan. With their upcoming 2025 album, the duo have sharpened their vision further โ collaborating with Billy Howerdel (A Perfect Circle) to bring their sonic storytelling to life.
Beyond music, VOWWS have also made waves in the fashion world, working with Commes des Garรงons, Givenchy, Alyx, and Byredo for live performances and brand compositions, reflecting their multi-dimensional artistic impact.

Canadian alt-metal trailblazer ONI has returned with a soul-piercing new single, “Shouldn’t Feel This Way,” a powerful acoustic ballad that peels back the distortion to reveal raw emotion and heartbreak. Out now on all platforms, the track marks a distinct shift in tone for ONIโshowcasing a softer, more vulnerable side of project founder Jake Oni.
๐ Stream “Shouldnโt Feel This Way”: Click Here
๐ฌ Reflecting on the song, Oni shares:
“‘Shouldnโt Feel This Way’ is about mourning the loss of someone really close to you, and the constant struggle in life to live without feeling lost and alone… It isn’t like anything I have released before. I got to shoot the video on my farm in Canada which is a very important place for me.”
Co-written with John Boecklin, Seth Evans, and Kile Odell, the track follows the recent cover of The Kooks’ “Naive” and ONIโs emotionally charged Genesis EP, setting the stage for a dynamic and deeply personal year in the bandโs evolution.

The Genesis EP (2025) continues that upward trajectory with singles like “Deja Vu,” “Walk Away,” and “Erase” leading the charge.

๐ฏ๏ธ ABOUT CABAL ๐ฏ๏ธ
CABAL are a sonic plague from Denmarkโuncompromising, unrelenting, and unfathomably heavy. Since their 2018 debut, theyโve decimated stages across the globe with their crushing fusion of deathcore, metalcore, industrial noise, and pitch-black atmospheres.
Everything Rots is CABALโs most punishing, personal, and visceral record to date. Rife with bleak themesโdepression, betrayal, trauma, and decayโitโs a mirror to a crumbling world. The band channels real-life experiences into each track with gut-wrenching authenticity and devastating force. ๐
Featuring guest appearances by members of DISTANT, NASTY, TEN56, VISCERA, and AVIANA, this album is a dark hymn for the broken and the cursed.
ZWAREMACHINE is set to drop their electrifying new single and remix EP, Waking The Night, a departure from their signature industrial/EBM sound, featuring the final recorded drumming of Dein Offizier, who tragically passed away in August 2023.
The band was in the midst of writing and recording their upcoming third full-length album when Dein Offizier battled acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Despite this immense loss, ZWAREMACHINE honors his legacy with Waking The Night, a track that embodies both his presence and energy. Known for his booming Surdo drum, commanding stage presence, and infectious humor, Dein Offizier remains irreplaceable. This song is dedicated to his memory.
๐ง The digital Single/Remix EP includes remixes by: โก Darker โก StatiK SeKt โก VV303 โก Planktoon

๐ถ Deep Dive into the Universe of DISEMBODIED TYRANT:
Technical death metal visionaries ALLEGAEON have just dropped their latest single, “The Swarm,” accompanied by a powerful new video, now premiering at Metal Injection. The track is taken from their forthcoming full-length album, The Ossuary Lens, set to be released on April 4th, 2025, via Metal Blade Records.
Guitarist Greg Burgess shares insight into the trackโs origins: “This is a piece written by [guitarist] Michael Stancel. The frantic intro riff was actually written on tour in the UK on a boat in Bristol. I remember filming him playing it so we wouldn’t forget how to play it. The show was sold out and ruled, and then all of our gear got rained on because they had us load out so they could have a disco after the show. Shame!”
Stancel adds: “If I could have set that venue adrift, I would haveโbut at least we got a song out of it.”
The Ossuary Lens: ALLEGAEONโs Most Brutal and Technically Dazzling Album Yet ๐๐ถ
The Ossuary Lens marks ALLEGAEONโs seventh studio album and the highly anticipated return of original vocalist Ezra Haynes, rejoining the band after nearly a decade. The album explores various perspectives on death, delving into themes both philosophical and visceral.
“Each song is a different topic, but thereโs always a perspective of death tied in,” explains Haynes. “Since the entire album revolves around this theme, we felt that โOssuaryโ was a fitting concept, and thus, The Ossuary Lens was born.”
ALLEGAEON Hits the Road with Warbringer for The Vortex of Violence Tour ๐ค๐ฅ
Starting March 18th, 2025, ALLEGAEON will co-headline North America with WARBRINGER, alongside Skeletal Remains and Summoning The Lich. The 26-date tour will take the bands across the US and Canada, wrapping up on April 12th in Los Angeles, CA.
The Ossuary Lens: A Monumental Return for ALLEGAEON ๐ถโก
Produced by Dave Otero at Flatline Audio in Denver, The Ossuary Lens promises to be a career-defining record for ALLEGAEON. Consequence raves about its “brutal intensity and progressive sophistication,” while MetalSucks calls it “a relentless masterclass in technical death metal.”

Their 2022 Great Heathen Tour was another milestone, marking the first time an extreme metal band headlined the iconic Kia Forum in Los Angeles.

Canadian dark pop and gothic rock pioneers, The Birthday Massacre, return with their latest single, “Sleep Tonight”, offering a haunting glimpse into their forthcoming album, “Pathways”, set for release on April 11, 2025, via Metropolis Records.
“Sleep Tonight” is a song about being haunted by our own ghosts, the band shares. Memories and regrets follow us as we try to find comfort. Even the most familiar and safe places can feel sinister as we wrestle with feelings we often bury deep within ourselves.
The songโs dreamlike atmosphere, eerie synth work, and powerful yet melancholic vocals mark a return to the signature storytelling style that has defined the band’s sound for over two decades.
The Birthday Massacre will embark on a 29-date North American tour starting March 28, bringing their cinematic live performances to fans across the continent. Following this, they will head to the UK for a 13-show run beginning on October 24, 2025.
