Indiana-based blackened thrash/speed metal practitioners WRAITH will unleash their fiery Descent Into Darkness full-length on November 13th through Prosthetic Records.

With WRAITH, what you see is what you get. Favoring focus and fire over frills and flash, the Indiana quartet – Matt Sokol (vocals, guitar), Jason Schultz (guitar), Chris Petkus (bass), and Mike Szymendera (drums) – summons the speed of old-school thrash through a prism of 21st century extreme metal accelerated at a breakneck pace. The Midwest-bred outfit allows the riffs, solos, furious beats, and haunting lyrics to speak on their behalf, conjuring imagery with the high-octane action of a big-screen historical epic.

After amassing millions of streams, playing to packed houses, and earning critical acclaim from No Clean Singing, MetalSucks, and more, the band delivers their uncompromising and undeniable sixth full-length LP, Descent Into Darkness.

Louisiana metal powerhouse, BRAT, will release its new LP, ‘Manslayer‘, on September 25 via Prosthetic Records. BRAT‘s eagerly awaited sophomore album, ‘Manslayer’, was tracked at Chicago’s Bricktop Recording, produced, engineered, and mixed by Weekend Nachos’ Andy Nelson, and mastered by Brad Boatright (Deadguy, Pig Destroyer, Lathe of Heaven) with maximum weight and minimum mercy. The follow-up to BRAT‘s 2024 debut, ‘Social Grace’, ‘Manslayer’ features 17 tracks of primitive death metal, garroting thrash, and swamp-drenched hardcore for devotees of the darkest reaches of the underground.

In advance of the release of ‘Manslayer’, BRAT drops the retaliatory new track, “Trophy Hunting“, which vocalist Liz Selfish says centers around reactive abuse.

“Carrion Birds On The Ark” is the latest single from self-proclaimed post-skramz architects DREAMWELL. The riotous new hymn comes by way of the band’s Hymns For The Denial Of God full-length, set for release on August 28th via Prosthetic Records.

Cymbals nervously skitter, feedback pinches, and a menacing bassline sets the tempo for “Carrion Birds On The Ark.” Power chords groan beneath vocalist Keziah “KZ” Staska’s possessed delivery of a jarring singalong, “There’s a Virgin Mary water stain in the missing children’s poster.”
