• NIGHT'S EDGE Unveils New Video "Shapes in Grey Space II : Soaring" Ahead of New Album Out Aug 21st

  Aug 21, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  With their fourth full-length album, "The World That Never Was," set to drop on August 21st, 2025, Baltimore-based trio NIGHT'S EDGE is unveiling one last visual offering ahead of release day. In collaboration with Ghost Cult Magazine, the band premieres the music video for “Shapes in Grey Space II: Soaring”, the second installment in a three-part suite that closes the album. The two-and-a-half-minute ballad of symphonic alternative metal track unfolds a Twilight Zone-inspired narrative, exploring themes of isolation and the transformative journey of self-discovery it can spark.

  "Soaring is a hardcore banger in ¾, as fancy as it is intense. The sudden pauses and shifts in direction of the music catch you off guard, while the vocals make you feel like you are ascending into the chorus, with mixed feelings of freedom while remaining tethered to reality. The words reflect our inner turmoil of free will versus the outside forces that control us. When writing Soaring, Damian constantly referred to the movie “Chronicle,” a found-footage thriller about teenagers who get superpowers. Not sure how that connects, that is for you to figure out!" adds Brian Haran – Vocals, Bass, Keys, Programming.

  Since forming in 2018, Night’s Edge has undergone several lineup shifts and sonic evolutions, making notable strides since their 2019 debut. Rooted in the Alternative Metal realm yet defying easy classification, their sound blends gothic metal, progressive rock, and nu-metal influences into a heady mix of heaviness and pop sensibility, wrapped in layers of synths and theatrical flair. Their upcoming album, "The World That Never Was," delves into themes of lost identity and the voids we fall into—obsession, rage, and uncertainty. In its closing arc, the album tells a parable: the protagonist wakes in a world where humanity has vanished and is forced to confront their reflection in the silence... or so it appears.

  "We are immensely proud of this album. The World That Never Was has the strongest songwriting that Night’s Edge has ever brought forward, and these powerful songs elevate the three of us as musicians and as a band. It has presented challenges to all of us, as Performers and as writers, and has resulted in a genuine expression of music that is uniquely us. The album flows dramatically from piece to piece, with each song offering something different and contributing a different part from which the whole is built. No two songs sound the same, but every second of the album is unmistakably Night’s Edge. The recording and production process challenged all of us but allowed us to become even more intimate with each song. The lyrical themes that wrap through the album have become hooks in each of our brains, and we feel like each of us left a part of ourselves in this record. The World That Never Was is dense but digestible, complex but immediate, grim but beautiful. It is an album of contrasts, an album of ambition, and Night’s Edge’s most definitive musical statement," says Haran

  "The World That Never Was" follows releases Strangers – LP (2023), Night's Edge - EP (2022), The Darkest Side of Dreams - LP (2020), and Shades of Dusk - LP (2019) and is recommended for fans of Coheed and Cambria, Avantasia, System of a Down, HIM, and Deftones.

• PsyDeathTechProg THE JUDGE THE JUROR's New Single “Heliconian Optivisor” Is Metal Alchemy At Its Finest

  Aug 15, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Edmonton, Canada’s most electrifying new metal force, The Judge The Juror (TJTJ), has dropped their blistering new single, “Heliconian Optivisor,” the first taste of their upcoming conceptual EP, "Primitive Minds," set to release in early fall 2025. This marks the beginning of an ambitious trilogy of EPs that will unfold over the next eight months, each exploring the collapse of the human condition through the band’s self-forged genre: PSYDEATHTECHPROG.
  ​
  A mesmerizing, fast-paced assault of sonic force, “Heliconian Optivisor” dives deep into the psychological tension of viewing the world through distorted lenses, red flags we fail to see until it’s too late. The track blends blistering tech-death precision with psychedelic synths and progressive structures, reflecting the band’s desire to find authentic community without compromising identity.

  “What happens when you realize that you may have been viewing parts of your life through a lens you didn’t create? This song speaks of our human desire to find community and belonging that doesn’t come at the cost of selling our souls to fit in. This sentiment has been an ongoing discussion for the band members, as we try to carve a new, unique, and niche sound. We don’t always know where we fit into the metal scene, but we know we want to be authentic and stay true to what we believe without compromising. This balancing creates a push and pull of emotions that the musical structure of the song builds on,” says David W Frontenac (Vocals/Synth/Programming).​

  ​​

  The first of three conceptually linked EPs, "Primitive Minds" explores the paradox of modern humans trapped in ancient mental frameworks. Lyrically and musically, it’s a psychedelic futurist journey, equal parts brutal and introspective. TJTJ's release plans for the EPs will be Fall 2025 "Primitive Minds", early 2026 "Medieval Institutions", and mid-2026 "Godlike Technologies". Each release will build on the last, culminating in a sweeping narrative about societal collapse, technological alienation, and the search for meaning.

  In addition to unveiling the new single, The Judge The Juror will be hitting the road for an August tour in Alberta and BC with The Hallowed Catharsis & Plague Doctor. Catch them live for one of the most high-energy performances in Western Canada. Expect a barrage of increasingly weird and wonderful proggy tech-death.

  Tour Dates - The Judge The Juror w/ **The Hallowed Catharsis & Plague Doctor​
  Aug 21 - Kelowna, BC - Jackknife Brewing**
  Aug 22 - Kamloops, BC - Bridgeview Theatre** (UGEFEST)

• IN LIMINE Unleashes “Unfollow” ft. George Kollias (Nile): A Ferocious First Glimpse into Debut Album "Inveteratus"

  Aug 14, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Italian extreme metal project IN LIMINE presents “Unfollow”, the long-awaited first single from the upcoming debut album "Inveteratus", set for release in October 2025. With its blend of circular, infectious riffs, ferocious grooves, and unexpectedly melodic vocals, “Unfollow” encapsulates the dynamic contrasts that define IN LIMINE’s sound, a dense, abrasive, and yet surprisingly accessible approach that draws from thrash, death metal, metalcore, and melancholic melodic passages.

  Led by multi-instrumentalist and composer Matteo Galimberti (ex-Cripple Bastards), IN LIMINE was conceived as a studio project driven by deep personal expression and conceptual depth. “Unfollow” introduces listeners to a dystopian world in decline, echoing the broader themes of "Inveteratus" - a term that once meant endurance but now suggests a hardened, irredeemable state. Through its lyrics and sound, the song reflects on moral decay and the loss of critical awareness in a hyper-connected society addicted to conformity and consumerism.

  Featuring throughout the entire album, George Kollias (Nile) delivers blistering yet nuanced drumming that pushes each track far beyond genre conventions, while Laur Lindmäe (Pridian) brings a gripping vocal performance whose wide range adds contrast and emotional impact.

  Recorded across multiple sessions between 2022 and 2024, "Inveteratus" was produced with meticulous attention to detail. All guitars and bass were recorded by Matteo Galimberti and later reamped at Domination Studio by Simone Mularoni, who also handled the mixing and mastering in July 2024. The result is a finely balanced sonic landscape: raw yet articulate, violent yet conceptually refined.

  Thematically, the album explores the cyclical nature of time, transformation, and cultural decline through a symbolic and visual lens. From Greek deities like Kairòs and Kronos to fractured sundials and crumbling clocks, every element - both sonic and visual - contributes to a broader meditation on time, change, and the failure to evolve.

  IN LIMINE’s debut is as thoughtful as it is visceral — a work for fans who seek more than just sonic aggression. For admirers of Death, Slayer, Morbid Angel, and Lamb of God, “Unfollow” is a compelling introduction to a band that refuses to follow trends and instead crafts its threshold.

• VISITANT Unveils Mesmerizing Music Video “Briars” + Michigan Metal Fest + "In the Wake of Flame Tour" (FL/GA/TN/SC/NC) w/ IATT

  Aug 7, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  ​With their debut album “Rubidium” just weeks away from being unleashed on Exitus Stratagem Records on August 22, 2025, blackened death metal collective Visitant presents their third and final pre-release single “Briars” accompanied by a beautiful music video that visualizes the band's immersive dreamscapes. This composition serves as a powerful statement piece, showcasing the full scope of Visitant's ability to craft ritualistic soundscapes that are both aggressive and ethereal. As they put it, “such a beautiful representation of what is to come.”

  The story of a man who, after realizing he’s died, pleads that it wasn’t his time yet, and as his pleas fall on non-existent ears, he comes to discover that everyone will be forgotten in the end. “Briars” exemplifies the band's commitment to creating tasteful juxtapositions between the visceral and the beautiful. The track features the collaborative genius that has defined Visitant's approach: Taylor Tidwell's intricate guitar work, Anthony Lusk-Simone's orchestral arrangements and powerful drumming, Kilian Duarte's prominent bass lines that intensify the forward-pushing experience, and Chelsea Marrow's commanding vocal performance that channels personal experiences transformed into ghost stories.

  The single arrives as Visitant prepares for their live debut at Michigan Metal Fest on August 23rd and "In the Wake of Flame Tour" with Philadelphia’s alchemical blackened death metal force IATT (dates listed below), where they will bring their haunting world to life with what they envision as an intense live experience featuring ‘muted dingy lighting and old house vibes’ that match the atmosphere of their music.

  Visitant has created a debut album that promises to resonate with listeners for years to come. They are recommended listening for fans of Opeth, Naglfar, and Between the Buried and Me.

  Spotify - https://hypeddit.com/visitant/briars​

  Visitant's recording lineup features seasoned musicians from the extreme metal underground: Anthony Lusk-Simone (drums/orchestration) from Abiotic and Lattermath, Kilian Duarte (bass) from Abiotic and Scale the Summit, Taylor Tidwell from Unaligned, and Chelsea Marrow from Voraath, whose vocal work has also been featured in acclaimed video games including DOOM ETERNAL and Senua's Saga: Hellblade II. Thomas Weidick, on guitar, recently joined their live lineup this past June.

• IMPERISHABLE (ft. Nile, Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation, Olkoth members) Forges Raw Fury w/ Debut Album “Revelation In Purity” Out August 29th + New Video For Title Track & "Oath of Disgust"

  Jul 23, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Brace for impact as Imperishable, the blistering new project featuring guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland (Nile, Enthean), bassist Alex Rush (Olkoth, Enthean), and drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation) announces the release of their debut album "Revelation In Purity", out August 29th, 2025 via Everlasting Spew Records.
  ​
  Formed as an outlet for raw, unfiltered aggression outside their legacy bands, Imperishable delivers an unapologetically fierce experience. "Revelation In Purity" is crafted with a sound described in four words: aggressive, dark, evil, and fast. The debut full-length is a relentless display of old-school ethos and modern wrath. Eschewing over-polished production, the album plunges listeners into visceral, analog brutality.

  Inspired by death and black metal legends including Morbid Angel, Emperor, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Nile, "Revelation In Purity" balances sheer speed and aggression with atmospheric weight and lyrical depth. Though the lyrics lean toward personal strength and confidence, Imperishable welcomes interpretation, mirroring their approach to songwriting as collaborative, ever-evolving, and instinctively intense.

  Brian Kingsland (Vocals/Guitar) comments on the album:

  "First of all, we're thrilled to be releasing "Revelation In Purity" on Everlasting Spew Records. They're a well-respected and renowned underground label that aligns with our musical standards and vision. It's an honor. This album started with just a few ideas between Alex and me, and has now taken on a life of its own, and we're damn proud of what we've achieved here. It definitely represents where we were at the time. Musically and otherwise. The pandemic, the birth of my son, the loss of immediate family, etc, it's all in there. It's an honest record that is a bit more raw and recorded old-school. There's no quantizing or samples on the drums. Minimal edits across the board. We wanted it to sound good, but not over-polished. A lot of that is in capturing the performance. So, you might not hear every note perfectly, but the conviction is there, and that's what matters. If this is your thing, you'll love it. It's a kick in the teeth."

  Fans can expect more music in the future, but for now, this debut is a definitive statement. "Revelation In Purity" is not just an album, it’s an experience. Raw. Real. Revelatory.
