LANGUISH have today shared a new track, titled Parasite, and an accompanying visualizer via Metal Sucks. The single is the third song to be taken from the Tucson, AZ deathgrind band’s upcoming third full-length, Feeding The Flames Of Annihilation, set for release via Prosthetic Records on October 7. Parasite is yet another pulverising blast of death metal and grind that sets its sights on abusive power structures and capitalist ills.
Speaking on the single release, the band comments: “Parasite is about the blood suckers of our society. Those who take everything we have, who prey on the weak, and profit from misery and suffering. They capitalize on disease and hopelessness, and exploit the basic human desire to live fulfilling lives in peace and happiness. We hope one day they pay for their crimes but in the meantime here is a sick metal song about them dying painfully.”
LANGUISH is a band that has relied on speed to deliver their message in the most caustic and devastating way possible, but conversely, they’ve taken their time to reach the point they’re now at, on the precipice of releasing Feeding The Flames Of Annihilation. World events forced a creative go-slow which granted them time to “hyperfocus” on crafting their latest studio effort.
Although grindcore continues to make up a good deal of the LANGUISH calling card, a considered leaning towards death metal across the twenty five minute runtime has allowed the group room to enunciate their distaste with more clarity, both literally and metaphorically. The world-weariness felt by its authors is colored with rage, disappointment, and a cycle of hitting rock bottom over and over. Inspired by the socialist anthems of Woody Guthrie, taking swipes at landlords, megacorps, and billionaires, with few escaping their scathing sulfur.
The prolonged writing period enabled the vitriol to permeate the bones of each track as they took shape. Old-school influences from the likes of Morbid Angel and Immolation seeped in to inspire additional flourishes as the songs were fleshed out before they were taken to the studio. An expanded drumming palette allowed Zack Hansen to up his technical ability, tying into the sound of a band that has found confidence in taking their time, evolving along the way. Guitarist, Matthew Mutterperl delivers skin-shredding death metal riffs in abundance, as well as creating the visual accompaniment for Feeding The Flames Of Annihilation.
The band self-produced the album at Homewrecker Studios in Tucson with bassist Ryan Bram engineering and mixing, before the album was handed to Brad Boatright at Audiosiege for mastering. A four-year absence hasn’t mellowed LANGUISH any; this new album cranks up the intensity, obliterates expectations, and provides the perfect soundtrack to accompany watching the world around us seemingly implode.
Feeding The Flames Of Annihilation tracklist: 1. Manifesto 2. Last Legs 3. Ripped Remains 4. Parasite 5. Poisoned Chalice 6. Judas Goat 7. The Collector 8. Failed State 9. Feeding The Flames 10. Comply Or Die 11. Corporate Dystopia
VENTED is an international supergroup featuring Sean Zatorsky (Daath, Sinsaenum, ex-Chimaira), Austin D’Amond (Bleed The Sky, ex-Chimaira), Greg Hajer (Omega Diatribe), and Simon C. Bondar (White Tiger).
Their brand new song’s called ‘My Desire’ from the forthcoming full-length debut record ‘Cruelty And Corruption’ takes you back in time to the finest era of groove metal/nu metal with pure sonic aggressiveness, soul squeezing melodies, wall breaker riffs and insane drumming.
Sean Zatorksy (singer) said the following about the new song ‘My Desire’: “My Desire is one of the first songs we wrote, it always felt like it should have been the first single. The song has so much groove, and so much vibe, it appealed to my friends more than any other track. My Desire is about to be myself and push the boundaries of anything I had ever attempted before. Almost an ego death of sorts, push until you can’t push any further, until you achieve the impossible, hold nothing back. Essentially switching up my vocal style to finally be able to showcase something other than just screaming. This song was the beginning of the rest of the album, it set the tone and pace, for my vocals.”
Vented has started to work on their debut record in 2021 originally with the mighty Joey Jordison (ex-Slipknot/Vimic/Sinsaenum) on drums and french music producer HK Krauss (Sinsaenum, Betraying The Martyrs, Dagoba…etc) but due to the unfortunate tragedy, Austin jumped behind the drums to keep Joey’s legacy.
HK Krauss (producer) said the following about the forthcoming record ‘Cruelty And Corruption’:
“When I heard the Vented’s demos for the first time I liked it immediately. It reminds me the bands I was listen to when I was a kid but with this modern touch that makes Vented unique imho. Producing that album was so cool and refreshing because I mixed it in the old fashion way. No overproduced sound. Just music, feelings and punch! My Desire is one of my favorites songs of the album. It got everything I liked in metal music. I truly hope people will enjoy this album as much as I do!”
‘Cruelty And Corruption’ will contains 13 bangers which showscase the rawness and sonic brutality of the band without any compromise!
Towards the end of the year it’s going to get heavy again! The third album by TERRIBLE SICKNESS from Lower Saxony will be called “Flesh for the Insatiable” and will be released on 18 November on Black Sunset/MDD!
You can expect 11 finest blast beat anthems inspired by 90s US death metal, which prove that extreme death metal from German lands has long deserved its own seal of quality.
You can see above a first look at the cover artwork designed by Daniel Bartell, a first taste from the album will be available soon. Until then, you can listen to the 2-track single “Dethroned Immortality”, which was released at the beginning of the year, on Bandcamp. Stay tuned!

About the process of making the song, Juffi reveals: “The midsummer of 2020 I was with a small group of people by a lake in a cottage. A question came up to list three things You could watch forever. One of us said a sleeping child, streaming water and flaming fire. We all agreed and I asked for permission to write a song about these things.”
DAEDRIC returns with a somber official music video for their dark new industrial rock single “Coldharbour.” Continuing where they left off with “Wretched” Daedric pushes into a more cinematic rock direction. Directed by Brittany Davis, the music video contrasts dark and light themes, with an enigmatic, lack-robed wraith figure roaming a gloomy forest and an obscure face singing through folds of white fabric for an overall mysterious and mystical atmosphere.
Featuring the sultry vocals of lead Kristyn Hope with provocative lyrics fused over synthesizers, pulsing drums, and heavy guitars, “Coldharbour” is an ethereal soundscape with an overall somber but fierce atmosphere faceted with intensity till the last cold hard beat. Mixed by heavily sought-after producer Joey Sturgis, known for his work with some of the biggest names in metalcore such as Of Mice & Men, Asking Alexandria, and We Came As Romans “Coldharbour” is the fifth single to be released by the up-and-coming group.
“’Coldharbour’ takes the energy established with ‘Wretched’ and pulls the listener into a whole new cinematic realm,” states Daedric. “The song further establishes Daedric as a multifaceted artist whose genre-bending sound and visual is a force to be reckoned with.”
“Coldharbour” is out now from independent multi-genre label FiXT.
Daedric is an audacious creative venture from Dallas/Fort Worth-based vocalist and artist, Kristyn Hope. Daedric draws inspiration from an eclectic array of sources including David Bowie, Anthony Green of Circa Survive, Sia, and the popular open-world role-playing game series Elder Scrolls, from which the Daedric name is derived. In her own words, “It’s a cool ass name and I like villains.”
As Daedric, Kristyn works closely with producers Geoff Rockwell and Clay Schroeder to develop a mix of contemporary rock and metal, with vocals that range from ethereal to brutal, to forge a powerful sound that is uniquely her own. Kristyn launched the Daedric project in 2021 through a partnership with electronic rock label FiXT. Since launching Daedric has released “Wretched,” “Sepulchre” and “Dawnbreaker,” as well as appearing on an enigmatic metalcore cover of “The Rumbling” from Andromida with each new single showcasing Daedric’s songwriting capabilities and establishing Daedric as a fiery new act to watch.
