DROUTH Announces New Album The Teeth of Time – Out May 16th via Eternal Warfare Records 🔥⚔️

New Single “False Grail” Streaming Now! 🎶💀

Portland’s blackened death metal force DROUTH returns this spring with the highly anticipated release of their third full-length album, The Teeth of Time, arriving May 16th via Eternal Warfare Records. Following their critically acclaimed 2020 release Excerpts From a Dread Liturgy, the new record is an unrelenting storm of doom-laden intensity, existential dread, and sonic brutality.

A Manifestation of Torment and Chaos 🖤🔥

DROUTH comments on the upcoming release:
“We are proud to present The Teeth of Time, a culmination of several years of blood, sweat, and pain. It is a nightmare made manifest, and we are both eager to share our creative work and grateful to the many people who helped make it possible.”

To mark the album’s announcement, the band has unveiled “False Grail,” a harrowing preview of the hellscape awaiting listeners within The Teeth of Time. First premiered at Invisible Oranges, the track delivers an ominous, suffocating atmosphere that perfectly sets the tone for the album.

Matt Solis on “False Grail”:

“‘False Grail’ was the last song we wrote before entering the studio. It came together relatively quickly based on ideas that Stikker brought in—he had it well fleshed out, but we expanded the closing doom section to really emphasize the dynamic shift in the song. We also knew we wanted string accompaniment, so we had Eva Vonne from Isenordal add mournful viola layers after tracking was completed.”

Matt Stikker on the Song’s Concept:

“Lyrically, the song is a nightmare reflecting the disconnect between the true and projected self, and the increasing tension between those poles that we all experience. The map is not the territory, but when the map prefigures and gradually dictates the territory, our agency is threatened forever.”

ALLEGAEON Unleashes “The Swarm” Video Ahead of The Ossuary Lens Release + North American Tour Kicks Off Next Week 🎸🔥

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.

🔗 Watch “The Swarm” Now

Guitarist Greg Burgess shares insight into the track’s 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 have—but at least we got a song out of it.”

The Ossuary Lens: ALLEGAEON’s Most Brutal and Technically Dazzling Album Yet 💀🎶

The Ossuary Lens marks ALLEGAEON’s 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 there’s always a perspective of death tied in,” explains Haynes. “Since the entire album revolves around this theme, we felt that ‘Ossuary’ was a fitting concept, and thus, The Ossuary Lens was born.”

SINthetik Messiah Unveils Haunting New EP “The Lost Tribe” 🌿🔮

Louisiana-based tribal industrial project SINthetik Messiah returns with a powerful and immersive new EP, The Lost Tribe, delving into themes of alienation, ancestral pain, and cultural identity. Available exclusively on Bandcamp today, the EP will hit all streaming platforms in April.

A Sonic Journey Through History and Identity 🌎🎶

Created by Cajun songwriter and sound designer Bug Gigabyte, The Lost Tribe blends industrial, electro, dance, rock, and ambient elements to craft a deeply emotional and thought-provoking soundscape. The EP’s two tracks explore historical trauma and personal struggle, rooted in the untold narratives of Louisiana’s indigenous people.

🔹 “Nature’s Magik” captures the anguish and raw energy stemming from the 1706 attack by French soldiers on the Chitimacha people, an event that left a lasting scar on the region’s history.

🔹 “Poison To Our Hearts” addresses the harsh reality of racial exclusion within the Chitimacha Tribe of Louisiana, where members of African descent have been denied recognition for over a century. The song paints a stark picture of injustice, longing, and the painful search for acceptance within one’s own heritage—an issue that continues to define Louisiana’s so-called Lost Tribe.

Exclusive Release on Bandcamp – Streaming Everywhere in April 📲🎧

Hocico Unleashes New Single & Video “The Screen” 💀🎶

📅 Release Date: March 5, 2025
🎧 Label: Out Of Line Music
📺 Watch & Listen Now: The Screen

Mexican electro-industrial pioneers Hocico return with “The Screen,” a scathing new single that takes direct aim at the toxicity of the digital world. Known for their aggressive beats and uncompromising lyrics, Hocico delivers a powerful critique of online cruelty, exposing the cowardice and deception that thrive behind the anonymity of a screen.

🔹 A Brutal Callout of Digital Deception 🔹

“You spit your filth, while you’re unseen” – With “The Screen,” Hocico paints a vivid portrait of the internet’s darker corners, where trolls and keyboard warriors attack from the shadows without facing real consequences. The lyrics cut deep, unmasking the false boldness of those who hide behind their devices, only to crumble when faced with real-world confrontation.

The chorus, “You lie, you dream, you live behind the screen,” encapsulates the disconnect between digital personas and real-life insecurities, a theme vocally charged by Erk Aicrag’s impassioned delivery.

🎹 Classic Hocico Energy with a Modern Edge 🔥

Musically, “The Screen” is pure, unrelenting Hocico – pounding industrial beats, distorted synths, and an intensity that mirrors the song’s scathing message. The track blends the duo’s signature dark electronic style with a modern, urgent sound, ensuring it hits hard for longtime fans and new listeners alike.

🔻 Facing the Reality of the Digital Age 🔻

Hocico doesn’t just create music—they hold a mirror to society, forcing listeners to confront the cruelty lurking behind digital facades. “The Screen” serves as a wake-up call, demanding awareness of how the online world enables false identities and unaccountable aggression.

Blending darkwave, industrial, and black metal, GOST’s sonic world is as eerie as it is electrifying. The Texas-based multi-instrumentalist and producer has been a genre-defying force since the release of “Radio Macabre” (2013) and “Skull” (2013).

Critics Rave About “Prophecy” 🔥📢

🔥 Decibel Magazine – “Hellish blasts of blackened industrial like ‘Death In Bloom’ and ‘Digital Death’ harken back to the digital demonology of 2018’s ‘Possessor.’ While harshness eclipses hooks, mascara traces remain: ‘Widow Song’ enjoys the silence of humanity’s demise.”

🔥 Revolver Magazine – “Bewitching black-metal hisses laid over thumping darkwave synths and thwacking industrial drums. A match made in Hell.”

🔥 Kerrang! – “The world his music inhabits is nocturnal and sinister, bathed in crimson neon; while its electronic beats might point a bony finger in the direction of the dancefloor, the environment it portrays is more ritual than rave…’

🔥 No Clean Singing – “GOST provides both synth and metal purists a focal point to indulge upon with hellish glee. ‘Prophecy’ will no doubt go down as a stylistic staple, an example of how to make immense music of infinite flavors that pulverizes all fortunate enough to be in its wake.”

Encephalon Unleashes “Automaton All Along” – A Haunting Exploration of AI and Identity 🤖🎶

Canadian electro-industrial powerhouse Encephalon returns with their most ambitious and immersive release to date, “Automaton All Along”, available now via Artoffact Records. This gripping concept album delves deep into the intersection of artificial intelligence and human consciousness, weaving a dystopian narrative through pulsating beats, cinematic synthscapes, and raw, evocative lyricism.

⚡ A Journey Through Sound and AI-Driven Dystopia

Formed in Ottawa, Canada, in the mid-2000s, Encephalon—led by Matt Gifford (vocals, programming) and Sam Mainer (keyboards, live drums)—has established itself as a defining force in the global industrial and dark electronic scene. With their signature blend of dark electro, synthpop, and cyberpunk aesthetics, the duo continues to push boundaries, both sonically and conceptually.

Since their breakthrough debut “The Transhuman Condition” (2011) and critically acclaimed follow-ups “Psychogenesis” (2015) and “Echoes” (2021), Encephalon has explored themes of technology, identity, and existential dread.

🚀 “Automaton All Along” marks their boldest statement yet—a dystopian opus that questions what it means to be human in an age where AI and consciousness blur into one. The album’s intricate production, layered sound design, and thought-provoking themes create an experience that lingers long after the music fades.

🎧 For fans of: Front Line Assembly, Nitzer Ebb, The Prodigy, and the cerebral, darker side of electronic music.

THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE Joins Metal Blade Records and Embarks on European Tour with Distant and Enterprise Earth

Metal Blade Records proudly welcomes THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE, the Pennsylvania-based deathcore juggernauts, to its renowned roster. Known for their relentless touring and unyielding sound, the band continues to carve its place among the elite in the deathcore scene.

A Legacy of Crushing Innovation

Formed in 2010, THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE quickly established themselves with their self-released debut album, Know Your Exits, and have since become a staple in the metal community. By 2013, the band had signed with Density Records to release their second album, Invivo [Exvivo], and embarked on tours with heavyweights such as I Declare War, Fit For An Autopsy, Thy Art Is Murder, and Kublai Khan. Their evolution across five more full-lengths earned them Billboard chart placements and critical acclaim worldwide.

Their 2024 release, No Name Graves (via Unique Leader Records), marked a significant milestone in their career. Knotfest described it as “reasserting their position as innovators and leaders in the deathcore genre,” while New Transcendence called it “a cinematic, crushing experience.” No Clean Singing praised its “primal intensity and potent, primitive nihilism,” likening it to acts like Black Tongue and Humanity’s Last Breath, but with a stripped-down, raw approach.

Excitement for the Future

Speaking on their new partnership with Metal Blade Records, the band shared their enthusiasm:
“We are beyond excited to announce that we have signed with the legendary Metal Blade Records. It is an honor to be on the same roster as such iconic acts past and present. Shout out to Ryan Williams and the rest of the Metal Blade team for giving us the opportunity to riff.”

The Origin of Madness Tour

Currently, THE LAST TEN SECONDS OF LIFE is supporting Distant and Enterprise Earth on their European and UK co-headlining tour. Dubbed The Origin of Madness Tour, the trek features support from Harbinger and promises to deliver relentless energy to every city it visits.
