Bio:
Founded in October 2008 by Sardinian singer/guitarist Mario Marras embodied by the insatiable desire to bring back ’80s sound vibe. The name Megahera, in fact, means: MEGA (great) Hera (intended as era) ie the Great Age, the ‘80s.
Megahera born to give hope and support to all those who have seen their dreams crushed during the degenerating advance of the ’90s. Immediately after choosing the band name, Mario started the hunt for the perfect band mates: musicians with the same passion for 80’s Metal & Rock who shared the same ideals.
Megahera started off really well, with a series of dates throughout Sardinia, also known as ”The Infernal Sardinian Tour” and the recording of their first demo Lethal Noise of Violence. Taking inspiration from a variety of 80th bands Megahera managed to create their own blend of NWOBHM and Bay Area Thrash.
Following their first shows and Demo, the band started to gain praises across fans and media alike, being also invited to participate to the ‘ Eventi Metallici Fest 2010 ‘, a competition that has now become a traditional appointment for all metalheads in Sardinia, and saw Megahera win the final session and play alongside Paul Di’Anno (ex-Iron Maiden), who appeared as special guest.
A few months later, Megahera won another contest: the ”Summer Rock Festival”, which allowed them to cross the Italian border, and perform live in London. From that moment on, the band started a series of consecutive live performances, supported and thoroughly appreciated by their fans.
Coinciding with their active touring schedule, Megahera was working hard for the recording of their first album Metal Maniac Attack, which was released in 2011, via My Graveyard Production.
Their debut record, saw the band affirming themselves as “the band who sanctioned the return of the old sound”, against the new currents and the new commercial principles.
Metal Maniac Attack, saw the band’s sound going back to a soundscape that had been lost because of the 90 imbastardmented music.
To promote their debut album the band organised their first Australian tour, ‘Insanity Attack Tour’, in cooperation with Metal Evilution Organizzation (Australia), which saw Megahera performing a series of shows across the globe.
Megahera also found the time to release Leather In London(Ep) during their Australian Tour, via Metal Evilution.
July 2013, the exhibition at the Headbangers Open Air (Brande Hörnerkirschen, Germany), alongside of Praying Mantis,Savage and Metal Church etc.
Few years later: “Condemned to insanity” album. Megahera continue to perform live everywhere.
The band is currently in the recording studio for the realization of the new third album , Stay tuned for more news! MEGAHERA.. THE NEW ERA

Following their acclaimed Bionic Swarm debut album from 2021, Dutch Progressive Death/Thrash Metal outfit CRYPTOSIS continue to push the boundaries of the style with a new digital EP entitled The Silent Call, scheduled for release December 1st, 2023.
The brand-new EP’s title-track “The Silent Call” can be checked out now in a video created by the film Production Company F/53 / https://www.f-53.com here:
Next to the brand-new song that serves as title-track to this release, the EP contains the previously unreleased song “Master of Life” (from the 2021 album sessions) as well as live versions of the album songs “Prospect Of Immortality” and “Transcendence” recorded in Athens, Greece in November 2022 during CRYPTOSIS’ latest European tour.
CRYPTOSIS comment about the new song “The Silent Call” as follows: “”The Silent Call” is a thought-provoking glimpse into a world where the lines between reality and artificial control blur, leaving individuals feeling lost and insignificant in the midst of sprawling, concrete jungles we call cities. A hauntingly introspective track that casts a shadow over our human existence. It’s a sonic journey that invites you to contemplate the complexities of modern life and the eerie silence of the unseen forces shaping our world.” The Silent Call serves not only as a new sign of life by CRYPTOSIS, but also as first warning shot in anticipation of the band’s new studio album effort which is in the works for next year…so better look out!

With remarkable records such as the self-titled Voodoo Circle or Locked & Loaded, Alex Beyrodt’s VOODOO CIRCLE quickly establish themselves as the epitome of quality in classic hard rock. This band has it all: lots of experience featuring members of PRIMAL FEAR, SINNER and PINK CREAM 69, outstanding songwriting skills and musicianship, passion and a sense for great hooks.
It’s obvious that VOODOO CIRCLE have enhanced their classic rock repertoire on the highest level. A German band never before sounded that international, with that much “American Hard Rock“ in their blood. These melodic anthems, cultivated by the powerful voice of David Readman, the tasteful Hammond-sounds by Jimmy Kresic, Mat Sinner’s as usual precise bass foundation and Markus Kullmann’s drumming in best Bonham tradition, appear to come down right from the Olympus of hard rock.
To shorten your wait for a new studio offering to follow in the hopefully not so distant future, on December 1, 2023, VOODOO CIRCLE present their Best Of “15 Years Of Voodoo” via AFM Records, featuring not only highlights of their discography ( Locked & Loaded, Raised on Rock, More Than One Way Home, Whisky Fingers, Voodoo Circle ), but also two previously unreleased tracks! One of them, “Sweet Devotion”, recorded in 2021 during the Locked & Loaded album-era, is now available with a music video, streaming below:
Says Alex Beyrodt:“Sweet Devotion is a typical Voodoo Circle song with all trademarks. David’s voice blows me away every time. I’m glad that the song now has its place on the Best Of album that will be released soon!“
Jimmy Kay and Alan Dixon of The Metal Voice recently spoke to Blackie Lawless of W.A.S.P. in a multi part series interview.
In part 2 Blackie discusses the passing of former W.A.S.P. drummer Steve Riley, the PMRC hearings and free speech, plus gives an update on the progress of new W.A.S.P. album and a whole lot more’
When asked about the passing of former W.A.S.P. Drummer Steve Riley “I wrote a thing for him, the day that it happened because that came as a big shock to all of us because none of us saw that coming. When something like that is so sudden, it catches you flat-footed, there’s no other way to describe it. I lost my dad four years ago this month and in an 18 month period I lost 11 people and not one of them to COVID. It was just you know one thing after another and 11 people in that short period of time. I start thinking to myself what’s going on here? I mean this is a wave that personally I’d never seen before. And to be honest to write eulogies over and over again it gets it’s draining because one of the conclusions I came to and I don’t mean for this to sound insensitive but death sucks. There’s no other way to describe it. I learned and as a writer there’s no words that we have that we can say that we can assemble together to make sense out of those losses. It’s like love, they say love is the most beautiful of all frustrations because there’s no words to describe what it really is. Death is the same way, there are no words that we can assemble or group together that really is going to change what it is but what do you say to someone to comfort them. So like I said in Steve’s case that that caught us all flat-footed, we did not see that coming. I wrote that in that eulogy (Official Statement on social media). One of the things that I said in there is that those songs that he played on Wild Child, Blind in Texas, I Don’t Need No Doctor, those songs cemented our Legacy (W.A.S.P.) and he’s a big part of that.”
When asked if it was a mistake having just him on the album covers, from album two to three “No because that was a conscious decision. What happened Tony Richards (Drummer), was forcibly removed from the band and I don’t really like to use those terms but it was against all of our will. I mean Tony had an alleged drug problem that EMI felt very strongly about. We signed the largest deal in history for any previously unsigned band, it was for $2.5 million we won the lottery overnight. But they had such a huge investment in us they were nervous. They (label) did not feel comfortable and they literally forced our hand to remove him and replace him and that’s where Steve Riley came in. But the problem with us was and Chris (Holmes) and I fought it tooth and nail because we understood how valuable Tony was to us. When Tony was there, we were a real band and we promoted ourselves as such but when Tony was gone we felt like we were mortally wounded and we were no longer the band that we once were. So as a band we made a decision to put me on the next two covers but even that didn’t feel right and if you’ve noticed ever since the band has never been on the cover from that time forward. “
When asked to give an update on the new W.A.S.P. Album “There are a number of subjects that I am looking at right now that are knocking on the door of what we are talking about. We’re pretty far into it right now but when this thing happened (Back Issues) on the tour and I blew a gasket, then all that got put on the back burner. But we’re pretty far into the writing process right now and we’re excited about it. It just looks like we won’t be able to get back to it until after the new year. Nobody makes money making records anymore, so if you’re going to make (New) records now you’re doing it because of your legacy. And if you’re going to do that then you really have to make sure that it’s as strong as it can be because it’s always going to be measured against what you did to begin with. All bands make their bones the first five years they’re together, the first five or six records they make their whole Legacy. Their Legacy is cemented there. It doesn’t mean you can’t make good records later on down the line but everything’s going to be constantly compared to that early stuff. So for it to get an honest review or a fair shake so to speak that new record has to maybe be even better than the original stuff because people have had so many years to romance those older songs in their heads.”

Death metal battalion VITRIOL is proud to reveal that it will be releasing its sophomore full-length, ‘Suffer & Become,’ on January 26, 2024 via Century Media Records! In celebration, the band is now unleashing the emotionally-charged, pummeling first single, “The Flowers of Sadism,” along with a music video! The clip, which was created by Vile Luxe Entertainment, can be found at THIS LOCATION.
VITRIOL guitarist and vocalist Kyle Rasmussen explains of the single’s deeply personal themes, “‘Flowers’ explores the topic of early developmental trauma and the resulting emotional alchemy that can lead to the development of sadistic impulses. While not being an ideal strategy in the presence of healthier alternatives, embracing my more vicious instincts was the key to my psychological and emotional survival at a time when my environment was both hostile and inescapable. It marks the beginning of a complicated journey of seduction by the necessary evils adopted in the pursuit of that survival.”
Pre-orders are now live for ‘Suffer & Become’ HERE. The album will be available digitally as well as in Standard CD Jewelcase, Ltd. Deep Blood Red LP (All ex-US Retail), Orange Crush LP (All US Retail), and Red / Yellow / Black Transp. Splatter LP (Band Exclusive).
The artwork for ‘Suffer & Become’ was created by Dylan Humphries and can be found below along with the tracklist!
“Suffer & Become” track listing:
Shame and its Afterbirth

Nursing from the Mother Wound
The Isolating Lie of Learning Another
Survival’s Careening Inertia
Weaponized Loss
Flood of Predation
Locked in Thine Frothing Wisdom
I am Every Enemy
He Will Fight Savagely

For Portland, Oregon’s VITRIOL, nothing comes easy. Nothing. The title of their second Century Media album, ‘Suffer & Become,’ says it all. “The title really sums it up,” says guitarist and vocalist Kyle Rasmussen. “I pushed things to a point while making this album where it almost became untenable. Things that were supposed to be done in weeks took months. It wasn’t easy, but I think it was suffering well spent.”
At the core of ‘Suffer & Become’ lies a profound sense of extremity and unease. This very essence defines Vitriol as the vanguard in death metal’s evolutionary path—a sonic landscape characterized by its profound darkness, density, and the infusion of nanotechnological precision interwoven with intense, seething emotions. Not easy listening in the slightest. Since forming in 2013, Rasmussen and longtime co-conspirator, bassist, and co-vocalist Adam Roethlisberger have worked with a single-minded vision: to push the genre to its breaking point and invent a new uncompromising paradigm in the process. VITRIOL is a masterclass in pain – and that’s just their jumping-off point.
Recounting VITRIOL’s initial journey into the outer fringes of extremity, Rasmussen is characteristically thoughtful. “I was starving for something that didn’t pull any punches,” says Kyle of VITRIOL’s caustic mission statement, which detonated into the realm of extreme metal with 2013’s ‘Antichrist’ demo. “Death metal was important to me because it speaks to an aggression, a frustration that I had when I was younger. It wasn’t just a sonic connection but an emotional connection, which made music almost a means to an end. What I saw happening in extreme metal at the time was almost a removal of emotion in favor of musicality, that fire, that piss and vinegar spirit. Basically, I wanted something that wanted me dead.”
With 2017’s ‘Pain Will Define Their Death’ EP, VITRIOL took its spot as one of the underground’s most uncompromising exponents, leading them to join forces with Century Media. The resultant album, 2019’s “To Bathe from the Throat of Cowardice,” was nothing short of a crucial next step for the band and the genre itself. Decibel Magazine said, “Vitriol leave no doubt they are one of the best the genre has to offer, with shades of Nile, Hate Eternal, and Anaal Nathrakh frequently peeking through.” Hitting the road that year, at first in Europe with Nile and then in the US with Cattle Decapitation and Atheist, and then Vader before the onset of Covid, VITRIOL was quick to establish themselves as much of an uncompromising force onstage as they are on record.
“Doing ‘Black Seeds of Vengeance’ alongside Karl Sanders [of Nile] onstage in Europe on our very first tour was nothing short of a ‘pinch me’ moment,” Kyle recounts from VITRIOL’s early touring days. “More recently, we were touring with Morbid Angel, and Steve Tucker, who is my favorite Morbid Angel vocalist, came out of his dressing room in a VITRIOL t-shirt and exclaimed that we were one of his favorite new bands! That blew my mind as a fan, first and foremost – a total ‘Holy Fuck!’ moment.”
‘Suffer & Become’ is nothing short of a benchmark for VITRIOL (rounded out by guitarist Daniel Martinez and Matt Kilner). It’s as dense and blackened as anything to erupt from Rasmussen’s vision of sonic disorder. From the onset of the opening track, “Shame and Its Afterbirth,” there’s a new sense of openness, grandeur, and occasional beauty in VITRIOL’s aural arsenal. “I wanted to have an album that had a stark duality to it,” says Kyle. “Very high highs and very low lows. We’re very familiar with the lows but not so much with the triumphant highs. I wanted the album to have more of a sense of optimism to it, both lyrically and musically. I wanted the album to convey a sense of optimism that probably gets lost in the black maelstrom that is the first album.”
Produced by Rasmussen and mixed by Dave Otero (Archspire, Cattle Decapitation), ‘Suffer &
Become’ isn’t merely the sound of VITRIOL upping the ante in death metal’s musical arms race; it is also the sound of salvation for its driving force. “Living in the world of that first album was very difficult for me,” says Rasmussen. “It’s not a nice place. It was very intentionally imbalanced in the same way a horror film is imbalanced. I wanted a healthier world for me to live in, and I believe I achieved that.”
Not that the writing and recording of ‘Suffer & Become’ was anything short of soul-rending. Rasmussen labored over the creation of the album in the studio, on tour in hotel rooms, to the point of painstaking obsessiveness. Kyle is straightforward about the grueling record-making process and its personal impact. “The record feels a bit like a Jungian Dante’s Inferno,” he states. “Plumbing the circles of my personal, psychological, and spiritual hell and then purposely refocusing it so it’s not the unhinged, dark catharsis of the first album. This record is a lot more vulnerable.”
Songs like “Weaponized Loss” or “The Flowers of Sadism” are what Kyle describes as a “dark baptism” in comparison to the absolute darkness of “To Bathe…”. The sound of VITRIOL remains as joyless and dark as ever, but with a glimmer of hope. VITRIOL has taken its trauma-put-to-sound approach to the next level and discovered a new sense of beauty in the blackness. ‘Suffer & Become’ is death metal with a bloody, beating heart.

Metal Blade Records just dropped the reissue of Cleveland, Ohio death metallers 200 STAB WOUNDS debut album, Slave to the Scalpel! The album was originally released in November of 2021 through Maggot Stomp and contains 9 tracks recorded at Bricktop Studios with Andy Nelson and mastered by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege. Metal Blade just released the album on CD, 45 RPM LP Vinyl, and across all digital and streaming platforms.
Excerpt taken from PITCHFORK’s review of Slave to the Scalpel: “There’s nothing subtle about 200 Stab Wounds. The Cleveland quartet plays death metal with all the nuance of a power drill to the temple-an experience they describe in detail on ‘Drilling Your Head,’ the lead single from their debut, Slave to the Scalpel. Alongside their Maggot Stomp labelmates Sanguisugabogg and Inoculation, 200 Stab Wounds are helping to establish Ohio as a new headquarters for brutal, bludgeoning death metal. Slave to the Scalpel demonstrates the band’s outstanding command over the core elements of the sound.”

About the band: Formed in 2019, the Cleveland death metal quartet that Brooklyn Vegan refers to as “Stupidly Heavy” pays homage to old-school death metal in the vein of Cannibal Corpse, Dying Fetus, and Mortician while carving out their own brutal sound in this new wave of death metal starting to boil up in the metal scene.
Cleveland death metallers 200 STAB WOUNDS have begun an epic run of live dates that will find the band rampaging their way across much of the US through the end of the year.
The onstage bedlam begins in November when 200 STAB WOUNDS serves as direct support to Frozen Soul on their North American Assimila-Tour from November 2nd in Atlanta, Georgia through December 2nd in Houston, Texas. Additional support will be provided by Judiciary and Tribal Gaze. After that, 200 STAB WOUNDS heads to Europe to kick off their 2024 touring as a part of labelmates Cattle Decapitation‘s Terrasite Over Europe with Signs of the Swarm and Vomit Forth.
Expect a new full-length studio album from 200 STAB WOUNDS in 2024. More details to be released over the coming months.
