    Warbringer

    Thrash & Speed

    Modern thrash titans WARBRINGER are thrilled to announce their highly anticipated new album, Wrath And Ruin, out March 14, 2025 via Napalm Records. With 20 years of history and millions of cross platform streams in their wake, ‘best of the year’ nods from the likes of Loudwire and Consequence on 2020’s Weapons Of Tomorrow, and now gearing up for a massive European tour with Decapitated and Cryptopsy this spring, WARBRINGER is poised for their next global assault with their seventh full-length studio release.

    On Wrath And Ruin, WARBRINGER continues their furious assault against the powers that be with eight new explosive rippers lyrically focused on inspiring listeners to recognize strength in numbers and actualize their class power. The album features pristine production by Mark Lewis, famous for his work with Cannibal Corpse, Trivium, and The Black Dahlia Murder, mastering by Justin Shturtz (Testament, Sepultura, MachineHead), and album art by the legendary Andreas Marschall, famous for his work with Kreator, Obituary, and In Flames amongst others. 

    Alongside the album announcement, WARBRINGER have unleashed the breakneck speed metal ripper “A Better World”, lambasting ignorant optimism with forked tongue. The track arrives with a high octane official music video.

  • Allegaeon

    Allegaeon

    Metal

    Allegaeon (pronounced: uh-lee-juhn) was formed in 2007. In 2008 they released their 4 song, self-titled EP and quickly gained attention of Metal Blade records.

    July 20th, 2010 brought Allegaeon's debut album Fragments of Form and Function (FOFAF). FOFAF was recorded in Denver at Flatline Audio with Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, and Cattle Decapitation) Metalstorm.net lists Allegaeon's debut album, FOFAF, as the #4 rated death metal album of all time (by the websites rating standards). FOFAF was critically acclaimed by many and catapulted the band out of obscurity and into the ranks of metals elite new bands.

    In January 2012, the band traveled to Southern California and entered the studio with Daniel Castleman to begin work on their follow up record titled Formshifter, which peaked at #29 on the Billboard heatseekers chart. It also marked the last record guitarist Ryan Glisan would do with the band.

    Allegaeon released their third full-length album Elements of the Infinite on June 24, 2014. Once again recorded at Flatline Audio with Dave Otero, the band expanded their classical music side with the addition of orchestral passages. With the added talents of guitarist Michael Stancel, and drummer Brandon Park, the music videos for "1.618" and "Threshold of Perception" showed the bands more fun loving personalities noting "we take the music seriously, but not ourselves". Elements debuted at number 25 on the Hard Rock Billboard chart.

    The band’s latest album Proponent For Sentience, released in 2016, marked the first with vocalist Riley McShane, and included guest appearances from Bjorn "Speed" Strid (Soilwork) and Benjamin Ellis (Scar Symmetry). The album showcased McShane's dynamic vocal range with the first appearances of throat singing, pitch screaming, and clean vocals. Metal Injection reviewed the album at a 9/10, and the album reached number 11 on the US Hard Rock Billboard chart, and number 33 on the US Rock chart.

  • Skeletal Remains

    Skeletal Remains

    Death Metal/Black Metal

    California’s SKELETAL REMAINS are proud to present the successor to 2018’s much-lauded “Devouring Mortality”. On September 11, 2020, the band will release “The Entombment Of Chaos”, their fourth and most accomplished studio album to date. While sticking to their blend of classic death metal from the early 90’s, SKELETAL REMAINS turned influences from Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel etc. into a darker, more consistent opus this time around. “There are a few more songs on seven-string guitar than the last album, making it an overall heavier sounding record. We also wanted to incorporate more aggression and brutality to give the album that extreme edge it needed to top our last three releases. In addition to that, we brought in our good friend Charlie Koryn (Funebrarum, Ascended Dead) on drums to add his own pummeling sound into the mix giving us an end result we’re all extremely proud of.” Formed in 2011, SKELETAL REMAINS released two acclaimed albums on FDA Rekotz and honed their skills on the road, playing an impressive amount of gigs early on in their career. With “Devouring Mortality”, the band took the proverbial next step. Tours with the likes of Obituary, Hatebreed, Municipal Waste, Power Trip, The Black Dahlia Murder, and many more followed, resulting in a loyal following worldwide. Now, the next chapter begins: “We feel this is a huge step up from our previous releases and cannot wait to share it with all fans of Death Metal! We hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!”
  • Summoning The Lich

    Summoning The Lich

    Metal

    Taking inspiration from the best elements of Lord of the Rings, Magic The Gathering, Dungeons & Dragons, and Adventure Time, and wrapping it up in a fantastical death metal parcel, SUMMONING THE LICH has an attention to detail and commitment to storytelling that is second to none. United In Chaos tells the tale of the rise of the Lich and fall of the Kingdom Rodor - and the spread of his wicked influence across the land as his power grows.

    SUMMONING THE LICH's debut album follows a well-received, self-titled demo and live dates alongside heavy-hitters such as Origin, Beneath The Massacre, and several stops on the Summer Slaughter tour. Having honed their craft, they entered Sicktones Studios studio with producer Jack Daniels in Cape Girardeau, Missouri in September 2019. With mastering completed by John Douglass, the result is a technical, abrasive journey through fantasy-driven, modern death metal.

    On United In Chaos, SUMMONING THE LICH haven’t just championed a fantasy world, they’ve created one in their own vision; this release marking merely the first chapter in a trilogy of albums that explores the outer limits of their imaginations. By inserting their storytelling chops into songs crammed with memorable hooks and meaty riffs, SUMMONING THE LICH have invited listeners to roll the dice and join the adventure.
