• Get Your Fix of "Zerotonin" From VICTORIA LIES' New Music Video

  May 6, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Pushing the boundaries of its genre with thought-provoking lyrics, heavy grooves, and graceful technicality, by integrating unexpected elements and focusing on what serves the song rather than individual egos, Calgary, AB metalcore band Victoria Lies always aims to deliver a fresh and compelling sound. Formed in 2023, they have released a series of singles, “Trial By Fire” (May 2024) and “...Ready for it?” (December 2024) to introduce themselves to the Canadian metal scene and beyond. Currently working on their first full-length to be released later in 2025, the quintet has one more standalone single to unveil in preparation for upcoming dates at Gatorfest (Calgary, AB) and Decimate Metal Fest (Millet, AB) (listed below).

  Entitled "Zerotonin", the song is about the feeling you get when drugs stop working. You keep reaching for a high that was once attainable and no longer through the means and chemicals you put into your body, yet you keep doing it because if you stop, it will be much worse.

  The comments on the track:

  "Zerotonin is a play on the word serotonin, only being the opposite of the former. The struggle with watching your body slowly break down while swallowing that next pill, because you might die if you don’t. Recording this song was a very special project for us, as we had recorded it several years ago, but it just fell flat. We did not give this song the love and attention it needed. So when the opportunity came up to go into the studio with our producer and finally give it that injection of passion and attention to detail, we all jumped at the chance. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you!"

  Recommended for Northlane, Bad Omens, Of Mice and Men, August Burns Red, In Flames, "Zerotonin" can be heard at the following links:

• SECRET RULE Unveils New Single / Music Video “Just A Sacrifice” - First Taste of Upcoming 10th Studio Album

  May 2, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Rockshots Records and Secret Rule are thrilled to announce the release of the band's brand new single called "Just A Sacrifice" available on all digital platforms starting today, May 2nd, 2025, and accompanied by a music video. The track offers the first glimpse into the band's highly anticipated tenth studio album, due for release later this year.

  "Just A Sacrifice" is a powerful anthem about the cost of staying true to oneself in a world that demands conformity. Blending heavy guitars, intense vocals, and a bold, wide-open chorus, the song captures both the emotional toll and the inner strength that come with resisting societal pressure.

  “This song is about the price we pay for thinking freely, speaking our truth, and refusing to follow the crowd,” the band comments. “It’s deeply personal but also a quiet political statement.”

  In recent weeks, Secret Rule completed an intense 15-date European tour alongside Temperance and Induction, showcasing their renewed energy and connection with audiences across the continent. The band is now preparing to take part in prestigious summer festivals including Masters of Rock (Czech Republic), Rock Imperium Festival (Spain), and Laurus Nobilis (Portugal).

  Entering 2025 with a refreshed lineup and a renewed artistic vision, Secret Rule is ready to push their sound even further. The upcoming album promises a dynamic and immersive experience fusing the cinematic edge of Within Temptation’s recent work with the raw energy of Falling In Reverse.

  "Just A Sacrifice" marks the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Secret Rule, one built on resilience, individuality, and a sound more powerful than ever.

• DEADWOOD Unleashes Horrifying Deathcore Video “Heretic” As Japan Tour Kicks Off!

  Apr 4, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Montreal, Canada’s deathcore outfit Deadwood has unveiled their most harrowing work to date with “Heretic”, the lead single from their upcoming EP "Rituals of A Dying Light" slated for release later this year. The accompanying video plunges viewers into a nightmarish realm that perfectly complements the band's brutal, fast-paced sonic assault. The single's release coincides with Deadwood's upcoming Japan tour (dates listed below) alongside Humanity's Last Breath and DVRK, further cementing their place in the international extreme metal scene. The comment on the single and what the audience should expect:

  “This is the first song we’ve written for the next EP and one of the ones we’re most proud of: it’s fast, heavy, and technical. We are a very intense show with a very percussive and tight guitar sound. We have a lot of samples between the songs to create a horror movie atmosphere. The fans go back home with a slap in the face. Heretic represents our darkest material yet.”

  The Montreal-based collective, known for its mission to ‘Make Deathcore Angry Again,’ draws inspiration from centuries-old horror stories and myths. The track delivers the uncompromising heaviness and terrifying atmosphere that have become Deadwood's signature since its 2020 formation. The band's unique blend of death metal and hardcore elements reaches new heights of intensity with this release, promising an unforgettable auditory experience for fans who crave pure brutality.

  Following their Japan tour, Deadwood will continue building momentum with performances across several U.S. cities this summer, including a spot at the prestigious Inkarceration Festival in Mansfield, Ohio. They are recommended for fans of Whitechapel, Despised Icon, and Meshuggah.

• THESE CURSED HANDS Conjure An Amalgamation Of Metal Genres In New Video For “Perihelion”

  Mar 28, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Emerging from Portland, OR's thriving metal underground, These Cursed Hands has unveiled a visually stunning new video for “Perihelion”, a track from their conceptual EP “Intelligent (RE)Design”, released in November 2024.

  These Cursed Hands continue to push the boundaries of modern metal, crafting a distinctive sound that seamlessly fuses black, progressive, core, death, and thrash metal elements. Their latest EP weaves a dark narrative of divine beings who, weary of humanity's existence, engineer a cybernetic fungal evolution through possessive spores. The theme draws inspiration from “The Terminator”, “The Last of Us”, and “Resident Evil” while incorporating themes from Norse mythology, Christianity, and Satanism. They comment on the track and the album:

  “Musically this album is a dynamic array of sounds and styles, featuring everything from melodic death and black metal to chunky deathcore and brutal death, with even some more ambient sections to haunt the listener. Perihelion is our most structurally complex song, moving between haunting ambiance, crushing death metal, and deathcore riffs.”

  These Cursed Hands has earned a reputation for their electrifying live performances, featuring programmed lighting, theatrical props, masks, and raw energy that transforms venues into apocalyptic landscapes. Their vocal aggression, earthshaking heaviness, explosive rhythm, and face-melting riffage regularly annihilate whole audiences, leaving only ashen smears where fans once stood. As the sun rises on these scenes of sonic devastation, the few remaining survivors will pull themselves from the rubble and spread the cursed word. They are recommended for fans of The Black Dahlia Murder, Dark Tranquility, and Thy Art is Murder.
