Post-hardcore force Row Of Ashes bring the noise with new album Tide Into Ruin – out June 13th

I will not swallow the lie of progress, the myth of blue skies from sunrise to sunset. I will not chew on broken glass and smile as my ripped and tattered mouth spills blood onto my emaciated chest. I will not cheer the liars, gazing upon them with tear-glazed eyes, whispering to myself ‘I’ve never had it so good’. My eyes will stay open as they strip me of all but my skin and I’ll hide the pills beneath my pillow filled with ashes so that I feel every cut they administer. My life will hurt me to the end […]

DESEKRYPTOR: US death metal duo announce new EP Sarcophagal Corridors on Nuclear Winter Records

DESEKRYPTOR will unleash their new EP Sarcophagal Corridors on May 16th, 2025 via Nuclear Winter Records. Marking a bold shift in their creative approach, the band deconstructed their usual songwriting method by starting with drums instead of riffs. Percussionist P.A. recorded raw, unanchored drum tracks that guitarist E.S. then manipulated and smothered with riffs designed to overpower the rhythms. While the unorthodox process could have resulted in utter chaos, it instead gave birth to some of the most refined and structurally cohesive material the band has produced to date. Sarcophagal Corridors stands as a testament to DESEKRYPTOR’s willingness to experiment […]
