  • NYC Thrashers ANOTHER DEMON Signs To Ragebreed Records for Re-Release of EP "As Above So Below" ft. Guest James Murphy (Testament, Death, Obituary)

     

    NYC thrash metal outfit Another Demon will officially re‑release their debut EP "As Above So Below" on April 18th, 2026, through Ragebreed Records, with global distribution handled by Earache Records. Originally unveiled independently, the EP now returns with expanded reach and renewed momentum as the band continues its rapid ascent through the East Coast metal ranks.

    Formed in 2023, Another Demon has quickly carved out a reputation for a sound they define in five words: Powerful, Fast, Aggressive, Thrashing, Evil. Their music fuses high‑velocity riffing, death‑tinged precision, and a dark atmospheric edge, an approach that feels instantly familiar to fans of classic thrash while pushing into new territory.

    “We feel like anyone hearing us for the first time will immediately get what we’re about. Another Demon is the kind of band you can feel instantly familiar with and instantly want more,” says guitarist Frank Tosi.

    The EP delivers a layered listening experience, offering both surface‑level adrenaline and a deeper emotional catharsis. The band’s collaborative writing process, built on trading riffs, expanding ideas, and prioritizing results over ego, creates songs that feel cohesive, urgent, and alive.

    A major highlight of "As Above So Below" is “Drawn and Quartered,” featuring a guest solo from legendary guitarist James Murphy (Testament, Death, Obituary), whose presence adds both historic weight and technical ferocity to the record. Across its six tracks, the EP delivers a spectrum of thrash intensity: “Reduced to Ash” erupts with frantic, horror‑driven chaos inspired by The Evil Dead, while “Deaf Gods” channels spiritual collapse and frustration through sharp, unrelenting heaviness. “Skull Vessel” pushes deeper into the band’s darker, riff‑forward territory, and “War March” unfolds as a slow‑burning, cinematic descent, massive, ominous, and ritualistic. The title track, “As Above So Below,” ties the EP together with atmosphere, weight, and precision, capturing the full scope of the band’s vision.

    Another Demon is powered by four musicians deeply rooted in the NY/NJ/CT heavy music scene. Bassist and vocalist Max Capshaw, known for his work with Sick Of It All, H2O, Murphy’s Law, and Burn, brings decades of hardcore pedigree and a commanding presence at the front of the band. Frank Tosi, the EP’s primary songwriter, shapes the group’s modern thrash identity with guitar work that is tight, aggressive, and atmospherically driven. Alongside him, guitarist Jun Takeshita blends 80s thrash with the intensity of Japanese punk and metal, expanding the band’s sonic range with speed, melody, and precision. Behind the kit, Dave English delivers dynamic, powerful drumming that fuels the band’s relentless pace and rhythmic complexity. Together, they forge a sound built on heavy riffing, razor‑sharp execution, and a balance of pure aggression and immersive atmosphere, music that hits hard and stays with you long after the final note fades.

    The tracks on "As Above So Below" were shaped over years of dormancy and renewed creative drive. With a full‑length album currently in development, the band promises an even broader expression of their identity.

    “These songs reflect our influences and personal tastes. The full‑length will show even more of our collective personality—our best, our heaviest, and our most honest work,” adds Tosi.

    Recommended for fans of Slayer, Testament, Exodus, Overkill, and Immortal, "As Above So Below" is available on the following platforms.

  • BURY THE PAST Introduces Its New Era With Their Heaviest Single "Clarity"

     

    Metalcore/Post‑Hardcore outfit Bury the Past has officially dropped their brand‑new single “Clarity,” now available on all major streaming platforms. The track marks a defining moment for the five‑piece Canadian band as they step boldly into a heavier, more modern metal direction.

    Formed through the natural evolution of guitarist Til Dubois’ creative vision, Bury the Past has grown into a powerhouse collective of musicians from across the Gatineau/Quebec scene. With the addition of drummer Mathieu “Fretch” Fréchette (Fractures & Outlines / Soulthief (Upstate Records) & 2025 Wacken Metal Battle Canada National Finalists), the band found the missing piece that would help shape their new sonic identity.

    “Clarity was the first song we wrote together with the latest lineup. It introduced a new drumming style as I joined the band permanently. From fast‑paced verses to slower, heavier sections, the single shows what we’re capable of,” says drummer Mathieu Fréchette.

    Musically and lyrically, “Clarity” is a turning point. The band leans into a more aggressive, modern metalcore sound while keeping the emotional depth and diversity that define their identity. Though heavier than previous releases, the band emphasizes that Bury the Past refuses to be boxed into a single genre; evolution is part of their DNA.

    If fans are expecting more intensity, they won’t be disappointed.

    “Heavy, catchy, emotional, evolving, diverse, that’s how we’d describe our sound. “I think fans are really going to appreciate the new direction. Having Til back on guitar is a major upgrade, and the writing process has never been smoother,” adds Fréchette.

    The band’s lyrics, primarily crafted by vocalist Charles Morin with contributions from Til and Kris, draw from everyday struggles, personal experiences, and the universal challenges humanity faces. The result is music that hits as hard emotionally as it does sonically.

    Bury the Past pulls inspiration from giants like The Ghost Inside, August Burns Red, The Amity Affliction, Alexisonfire, and Parkway Drive, blending metalcore, modern metal, and post‑hardcore into something uniquely their own.

    And while their music is serious, the band’s personality is anything but one‑dimensional. From inside jokes like shouting “Tooteeth” (a reference to Til’s cats) to a lineup spanning ages 20s to 50, Bury the Past is a family built on passion, humor, and a shared love for heavy music.

    With plenty of material already written and waiting for the studio, fans can expect more singles from Bury the Past in the near future.

    “Timing is key, but trust us, there’s a lot more coming,” adds Fréchette.

    Turn it up, dive in, and hear the new era of Bury the Past“Clarity” is streaming now on all major platforms.

  • KARMIAN Unleashes New Concept Album “Horror Vacui” - A Haunting Dive Into the Void of the Human Psyche

     

    Rockshots Records proudly announces the release of Horror Vacui, the new full‑length album from Italian melodic death metal force Karmian, available March 20th. A concept record rooted in true events, "Horror Vacui" marks the band’s most ambitious, introspective, and emotionally charged work to date, a descent into the psychological and existential void behind real acts of murder and moral collapse.

    “Horror Vacui is the darkest and most introspective chapter of our journey. A descent into the psychological and existential void that hides behind real acts of murder and madness,” says the band.



    Recorded, mixed, and mastered at Audiocore Studio by Luca Cocconi and Simone Sighinolfi, the nine tracks on "Horror Vacui" transform true Italian crime cases into harrowing portraits of human fragility, alienation, and the emptiness that breeds violence. Vocalist and lyricist Andrea Bertolazzi approached each story not to sensationalize, but to expose the void beneath the brutality. As he explains:

    “We didn’t want to glorify horror; we wanted to expose its roots. This record is about the emptiness that breeds violence, and the fragile humanity that hides beneath.”


    From the tragic collapse of nurse Sonya Caleffi to the cult‑like spiral of the Beasts of Satan, from the myth‑shrouded Alleghe murders to the disturbing obsessions of Marco Mariolini and Gianfranco Stevanin, each track becomes a psychological study rendered through Karmian’s signature blend of aggression, melody, and narrative depth.

    With "Horror Vacui," Karmian pushes their sound further than ever. The album fuses Swedish‑influenced melodic death metal with cinematic tension, intricate arrangements, and a raw, live‑driven production approach. Every instrument was recorded acoustically without studio trickery, preserving the band’s trademark authenticity.

    “It’s our most mature and intense work to date, melodic death metal meets cinematic tension, raw energy, and psychological storytelling. We wanted the album to leave a lingering sense of inner unease, a discomfort that wounds, but is also exorcised through the act of listening,” adds the band.

    The result is an album meant not just to be heard, but felt, a visceral experience that lingers long after the final note. The band hopes listeners will explore the layers of meaning, the connections to real events, and the emotional weight embedded in every riff and lyric.

    "Horror Vacui" stands as Karmian’s most profound artistic statement, a fusion of philosophy, extreme metal, and psychological exploration. It is a record that challenges, confronts, and compels reflection on the abyss within.

    Recommended for fans of The Haunted, Kataklysm, Heaven Shall Burn, At The Gates, early Dark Tranquillity, and early In Flames, "Horror Vacui" is available now as of March 20th, 2026, through Rockshots Records.
