CHICAGO THRASH VETERANS BLOODRUNNER STRIP IT ALL BACK WITH “UNPLUGGED LIVE AT WZRD”

Leave a comment


Raw. Intimate. Unfiltered. Bloodrunner return with a release that proves thrash metal doesn’t need distortion to hit hard.

A New Chapter, Fully Exposed 🔥
Chicago thrashers BLOODRUNNER are back — but not the way you expect. With the release of Unplugged Live At WZRD, the long-running Midwest metal force peels back the amps, distortion, and aggression to reveal the beating heart beneath their catalog.

“This album represents a new chapter for Bloodrunner: stripped down, intimate and real,” explains founder, vocalist, and guitarist Neal Rodriguez. And that honesty is felt in every note.

Recorded during the summer of 2025 at Northeastern University’s legendary radio station WZRD, the live session captures Bloodrunner in a raw acoustic setting while simultaneously introducing a new lineup — a bold move for a band that has never been afraid of reinvention.

Thrash Roots, Reinvented ⚡
Formed in 2004 by Neal Rodriguez, Bloodrunner have been a persistent force in the Chicago metal underground for over two decades. From their debut full-length Total Annihilation (2007, remastered and reissued in 2025) to the self-titled EP released in 2023, the band has continually evolved while staying true to their thrash foundation.

Now joined by Tito (bass) and Jeff (drums), Bloodrunner reimagine their songs in an unplugged format — proving that powerful songwriting and emotional weight don’t rely on volume alone. The absence of distortion doesn’t soften the impact; instead, it sharpens it.

“These songs have always had a heart,” Neal shares. “Playing them unplugged lets that shine through in a new way. It’s exciting to share this chapter with our fans.”

Survival, Reinvention, and Relentless Drive 🖤
Bloodrunner’s history is one of persistence. Lineup changes, industry shifts, and long gaps between releases never stopped the project from moving forward. After periods of activity with other bands — including The Upsets — Neal reactivated Bloodrunner in 2020, releasing new material despite setbacks and continued lineup changes.

By 2024, the vision became clear: revisit the past through a new lens. That vision led directly to the unplugged era, with Unplugged Live At WZRD serving as both a statement and a bridge toward the upcoming Bloodrunner Unplugged EP, scheduled for CD release in 2026.

This isn’t nostalgia. It’s survival through reinvention.

🔥 The Browning Ignite a New Era With “Burn This World [EVOLVED]” 💀⚙️

Leave a comment

The Browning have officially announced Burn This World [EVOLVED], a reengineered and weaponized evolution of one of their most defining tracks. This isn’t a simple remix or reissue—it’s a full-scale reconstruction designed to hit harder, move faster, and reflect just how far the band’s cyber-metal assault has progressed.

Known for fusing extreme metal brutality with relentless electronic programming, The Browning use [EVOLVED] as both a statement and a warning. The track revisits familiar foundations while amplifying everything—heavier drops, sharper synth architecture, and a modernized sonic core built for today’s dystopian landscape. It’s the sound of a band refusing stagnation, constantly rewriting their own rulebook.

“Burn This World [EVOLVED]” stands as proof that The Browning are not content to live in past victories. Instead, they continue to adapt, mutate, and push their hybrid sound into more aggressive and future-forward territory—where metal, electronics, and chaos collide at full force.

This evolution isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about dominance.

Degraved Descend into “Spectral Realm of Ruin” — A Brutal Debut from Dark Descent Records 💀

Seattle’s Degraved invades the death metal underground with their full-length debut “Spectral Realm of Ruin,” embracing the grime of ’90s fury and modern sonic decay.

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a1556600276_16.jpg

The Assault Begins

The album dropped on November 14, 2025 via Dark Descent Records and the co-label Me Saco Un Ojo. Dark Descent Records+2Dark Descent Records+2 Degraved’s circuitous path from demos and EPs to this full-blown eruption finds them harnessing the raw energy of early death metal and injecting it with a biting edge. Dark Descent Records+1

https://f4.bcbits.com/img/a2956496807_10.jpg

What to Expect

  • Soundscape: Blast beats, cavernous guitars, snarled vocals soaked in morbidity — Degraved mix furious brutality with eerie atmosphere. Degraved+1
  • Influences: You’ll hear echoes of Morbid Angel, Immolation, and the raw “old school death metal” spirit. Degraved
  • Key tracks: “Pariah of Death & Darkness”, “Sulfuric Embalming” and “Unseen” are standout moments that deliver both speed and menace. Dark Descent Records+1
  • Production: Recorded at their home studio, mixed with the grime intact — no polish kills the character. Degraved

Degraved aren’t reinventing death metal — they’re re-invigorating it. That’s the hook: this is a band that doesn’t care about trends, cares about tearing flesh with riffs. As one review puts it:

💀 Dawn of Ashes Unleash “Reinfecting The Scars” — A Brutal New Remix EP via Metropolis Records

Dawn of Ashes Logo

DAWN OF ASHES Announce Their Next Chapter: Reinfecting the Scars 💀🔥

Dawn of Ashes emerge once more from the void with a devastating new era, officially announcing Reinfecting the Scars, a violent and ambitious expansion of their blackened industrial legacy. A band already synonymous with cinematic horror, electronic brutality, and extreme metal intensity, Dawn of Ashes now returns with a release that digs deeper into their mythology — reopening old wounds only to infect them anew.

Built on the foundation of Infecting the Scars and Scars of the Broken, this new chapter accelerates the band’s evolution. The new material fuses serrated electronics, ritual-heavy atmospheres, and suffocating aggression into a sound engineered for both internal destruction and external domination. This is Dawn of Ashes at their most sharpened, their most emotionally charged, and their most sonically dangerous.

Dawn of Ashes – Infecting the Scars era art

A Resurrection of Fury

For long-time followers, Reinfecting the Scars feels like a resurrection of the darker DOA eras — reimagined through modern production and a more vicious narrative voice. For those newly stepping into their world, this is the perfect initiation: a chance to witness one of industrial metal’s most enduring forces in full, unrestrained form.

Kristof Bathory continues to push the band’s thematic universe into deeper psychological territory. The release explores trauma, spiritual rot, and transformation through darkness — themes that have defined Dawn of Ashes since their inception but now manifest with even greater clarity and intention. Musically, the band drops listeners into a corrupted ritual space: trance-like ambience suddenly exploding into blast-beat violence, mechanical synth strikes, and guttural proclamations from the abyss.

The DOA Ascension

Sonically, fans can expect a perfect storm of industrial metal, aggrotech, atmospheric blackened textures, and hybridized cinematic sound design. DOA’s ability to merge genres without losing identity is on full display here — a further evolution of their signature aesthetic, sharpened by years of performance, experimentation, and spiritual excavation.

As Dawn of Ashes continue to dominate festival stages and underground circles alike, this new release feels like a culmination — and a new beginning. Reinfecting the Scars isn’t nostalgia. It’s transformation. It’s escalation. It’s the next mutation of a band built on blood, nightmares, and visionary sonic violence.

When the scars reopen, the question is simple:
Will you turn away — or lean in closer?

WORST ONES Drop Crushing New Single & Video “Deny Reality” 💀

Philadelphia’s industrial sludge metal insurgents WORST ONES have returned with a brutal new single and video, Deny Reality—a sonic assault that cuts through willful ignorance with venom, distortion, and uncompromising heaviness.

⚡ Claustrophobic & Hypnotic Sound
Deny Reality channels the bleak pulse of Godflesh, the twisted hooks of Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson, and the sample-driven chaos of Skinny Puppy. Built on relentless electronic percussion and skittering hi-hats that slice through layers of noise loops, the track morphs shredded guitars into inhuman fragments. A towering chorus rises above the chaos, before a crushing breakdown drags the listener into sludge-drenched oblivion.

💀 Lyrical Warfare Against Ignorance
At its core, Deny Reality confronts the culture of willful blindness that has metastasized into complicity. With lyrics like “Cast out your empathy, behold your tragedy” and “My nightmares are dreams, you deny reality,” the track attacks the toxic refusal to see truth—an ignorance that sustains violence and accelerates collapse. It’s not an escape—it’s the very engine of destruction.

🎶 Listen Now
Apple Music – Spotify

🔥 Noise as Resistance
The track will also appear on Abolish ICE, a Philadelphia-based compilation featuring 16 local metal, hardcore, and punk bands—including Trunk, L.M.I., Sunrot, Boozewa, SOJI, Detox Meds, and Get Well. Copies are available in exchange for donations to Juntos, a community-led Latine immigrant rights organization. With this, WORST ONES transform their sound into protest—turning distortion into direct action, and noise into a weapon of resistance.

🎛️ Behind the Sound
Deny Reality was written and recorded by Drew Ew and Doppelganga, mixed and mastered by Jared Birdseye, with visuals directed by WORST ONES and Luz Sanchez.

🧠 Circle of Dust Returns with “Neophyte” – A Sonic Frankenstein’s Monster

Klayton of Circle of Dust is back, and he’s stitched together a track that defies convention. “Neophyte” began with a long-forgotten riff—haunting his hard drive for over a decade. Described as having a Trouble / Black Sabbath vibe, the riff carried its own melody and lyrics that Klayton refused to let go.

Though the section bears little resemblance to the rest of the track musically, it makes perfect sense in the mad scientist mind of its creator. “I’ve always enjoyed crafting musical journeys that feel like actual journeys,” Klayton explains. “Consistency be damned—my natural instinct is to mash disparate styles into one cohesive, chaotic whole.”

This is more than a song. It’s a genre-bending odyssey, lovingly described by Klayton as a “tiny song-home” kicked into the world for others to inhabit—even just for a moment.

🗣 “I truly appreciate any of you that have willingly decided to live in one of my musical homes, neophyte or seasoned veteran alike.” – Klayton

🧟 LIK Drop New Single “Morgue Rat” Featuring Linnea Landstedt 💀

Swedish death metal crushers LIK are back with a brand-new single, “Morgue Rat,” taken from their upcoming full-length Necro, out April 18th via Metal Blade Records.

🎥 Watch “Morgue Rat” HERE

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. “It’s about a mortician who can’t keep her hands off the dead,” says vocalist/guitarist Tomas Åkvik. “It’s also our first track ever with clean-ish guitars.”

Previously released video: Watch “War Praise”

🩸 About Necro

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 à 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 sound—raw, brutal, and utterly irresistible.

The album’s cover art was designed by Stockholm tattoo artist Jens Olsson and serves as a visual appetizer for the carnage within.

🧪 Recorded with Pure Necro Intentions

Neco was tracked live in just three days at Necromorbus Studio (NBS) in Söderfors, Sweden, with production wizard Lawrence Mackrory (Meshuggah, Katatonia, Decapitated). Åkvik’s vocals were laid down separately at Rorysound Studios in Uppsala.
Mackrory’s been behind the board for LIK since their 2015 debut Mass Funeral Evocation, and Necro may just be the band’s defining moment.

The album also features guest appearances from Nick Holmes (Paradise Lost, Bloodbath), Lawrence Mackrory himself, and Linnea Landstedt.

Do yourself a favor—check out the original versions… if you want to transform into a total fucking slimebag.”

⚔️ AVENGER OF BLOOD Return to the Frontlines with “Revenge Is My Name” and a New Era of Thrash 💀

Once forged in the fires of the Bay Area thrash scene, AVENGER OF BLOOD has spent the past two decades carving a path of pure sonic devastation. After relocating to Las Vegas following a pair of raw and furious demos, the band scored a deal with JCM Records, unleashing their 2005 debut Complete Annihilation—a scorched-earth statement that quickly earned them global underground recognition.

From there, AVENGER OF BLOOD hit the metal circuit hard, storming festivals like Minneapolis Mayhem, Monsters of Metal, and Northwest Deathfest, and landing a coveted spot on the legendary Speed Kills… Again compilation alongside rising acts like Warbringer, Toxic Holocaust, and Enforcer—a release that helped ignite the modern thrash resurgence.

Their momentum built to a crescendo with the 2008 full-length Death Brigade, issued via Heavy Artillery Records and featuring blistering artwork by the iconic Joe Petagno (Motörhead, Krisiun, Sodom). But the machine hit a snag when founding frontman Eric Greaney and bassist Shawn Loureiro departed, briefly stalling the band’s upward trajectory.

Undeterred, co-founders Shannon Frye and Marc Flores pressed forward, rebuilding the ranks and keeping the flame alive with releases like the Spawn of Evil EP (2012), a split 7” with Witchaven, and the raging On Slaying Ground LP (2016).

Now locked and loaded with their most solid lineup to date—featuring Sal Lalli on vocals, Chris Garcia on guitar, and Corey Sorrenti on bass—AVENGER OF BLOOD is officially back with sharpened teeth and a vendetta to match.

Last year, the band revisited their roots by re-recording their debut as Completely Re-Annihilated, bringing fresh blood to classic cuts and hitting the stage at Blades of Steel Fest alongside legends like Flotsam & Jetsam, Exciter, Vio-lence, and Jag Panzer. They also supported Death Angel and Ruthless on select shows in California and Nevada, signaling their official return to the live battlefield.

Their upcoming full-length Revenge Is My Name is now in the works, with a 2026 release planned—and the band has already begun to unveil what’s next through unrelenting live performances.

The blood is still fresh. The riffs are still lethal. And AVENGER OF BLOOD is here to remind you that thrash never dies—it just gets louder.

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.”
