Centinex, the Swedish death metal legends, have returned with their most ferocious and uncompromising album yet.
Guts And Glory is a raw, high-energy release that ditches excess and zeroes in on what matters: unrelenting riffs, d-beats, and thrash-infused aggression.
Stripping away atmospheric layers and polished production, Centinex goes back to their roots, blending the ferocity of early death metal with the urgency of punk.
From punishing galloping riffs to blazing d-beat drum patterns, this album is an all-out sonic assault — fast, brutal, and relentless, with no time to spare.
Brace yourselves for a fuzz-fueled cosmic rampage, Italian heavy fuzzers Godzilla Was Too Drunk To Destroy Tokyo have just released their brand-new single and official video “Sasquatch’s Eyes”, offering a mind-melting preview of their forthcoming album Sideral Voivod, set for release September 19, 2025 via Octopus Rising / Argonauta Records. Available on CD, limited edition colored vinyl and digital formats, the album promises a kaleidoscopic collision of stoner grooves, acid-drenched riffs and chaotic sci-fi storytelling.
“Sasquatch’s Eyes” is a wild, groove-heavy trip into the band’s trademark blend of 60s acid rock textures, monolithic fuzz and offbeat rhythmic breakdowns. Laced with hypnotic hooks and otherworldly swagger, the track embodies the raw, untamed energy that has made Godzilla Was Too Drunk To Destroy Tokyo one of the most unique acts in the European underground scene.
The band shares: “‘Sasquatch’s Eyes’ is pure primal vision, a soundtrack for those who’ve stared into the wilderness and felt it staring back. Expect our usual mix of gorilla bass tones, prophetic choruses, and riffs straight from another galaxy, with a touch of paranoia for good measure.”
Formed in 2022 in the small Ligurian village of Calice Ligure, the band is fronted by Sara de Luca (bass destroyer and sonic instigator known as The Evil Lord), alongside Nicola Viola (the octopus-armed drum wizard) and Alessandro “Camu” Camurati (riff-crafting guitar builder). The trio has already taken their high-voltage live assault across Europe and Japan, leaving a wake of crushed stages and blown minds.
Following the buzz around their 2023 releases Atomic Spitfire and Evil Lord, Sideral Voivod pushes their sound even further into interstellar chaos, a hallucinatory ride through doom, psych, sludge and space rock. Fans of L7, Melvins, and The Stooges will feel right at home in Godzilla’s sonic mayhem.
With “To My Only Son”, Swedish death metal legends UNLEASHED unveil one of the most emotionally resonant tracks of their career. Taken from the upcoming album, Fire Upon Your Lands, out this Friday, August 15 via Napalm Records, the song delivers a powerful farewell from father to son — a call to courage, independence, and the strength to carry on when all else fades.
Driven by weighty mid-tempo riffs, solemn melodies, and Johnny Hedlund’s unmistakable growl, the track stands apart as a slow-burning, mournful standout in the band’s otherwise relentless assault. It’s not about glory — it’s about legacy. “To My Only Son” slows only to strike deeper, its haunting melodies and doom-laden atmosphere embodying sorrow and honor in the face of war. A haunting prelude to the firestorm that is Fire Upon Your Lands, this track shows UNLEASHED at their most reflective — and their most commanding.
UNLEASHED on “To My Only Son”: “In Miklagard, with the allied forces – the Varangians, and a well-needed rest, a warrior, who has minutes left to live, writes a letter with his last words to his only son, knowing that they will never meet again. Urging him to be brave and face the world, to become the hero that he can be. And… let go of his father…”
From the very first crushing riffs in “Left for Dead”, as the warriors of Midgard deal with the captured son of White Christ, Fire Upon Your Lands plunges listeners into the chaos of battle. Forged in the fire of unrelenting aggression by mastermind and founder Johnny Hedlund, venomous growls and battle cries set the tone for the neck-breaking masterpiece. Roaring riffs and razor-sharp solos unleash a sonic onslaught while UNLEASHED create a powerful and triumphant tribute to the warriors lost in battle. In the eclipse, they summon the Midgard Warriors with “Hold Your Hammers High!”, an anthemic battle cry that follows the son of Thor into the unknown. Fueled by sheer aggression and grand, warlike melodies, the track stands as a testament to the band’s mastery in crafting Viking battle hymns.
UNLEASHED about the album: “Fire Upon Your Lands is our 15th album in 37 years. It is also a continuation of the storyline from the World of Odalheim, where the Midgard Warriors keep fighting for their way of life against their main enemy “White Christ”. We hope you appreciate this new Blot of 11 songs of pure Viking Death Metal. See you all on the road!”
With production that captures both raw energy and cinematic depth, the new album, Fire Upon Your Lands, proves again that UNLEASHED reign among the masters of death metal. Combining blistering death metal brutality with a timeless heavy metal core, their unrelenting power, storied legacy and unwavering commitment to their craft continue to inspire legions of fans across the world. Prepare for war, raise your hammers and join the battle live!

Wormholedeath is proud to announce the signing of SOUILLÉ, the evocative French one-man instrumental post black metal project, for the release of the deeply cathartic LP “L’odeur du mépris”, set to hit the airwaves on October 10, 2025.
A visceral journey through emotional decay, L’odeur du mépris stands as a raw, wordless manifesto of human anguish. Through a fusion of melancholic melodies and post-black metal atmospheres, Souillé delivers a self-psychoanalysis steeped in existential bitterness—a soundtrack to the quiet collapse of the soul.
Souillé explores themes of loneliness, disdain, and inner torment with striking instrumental precision. This debut LP is not just music—it is the howling echo of a creature wrestling with its suffering, casting a furious gaze upon the world with rage, contempt, and the cold clarity of despair.
“I’m proud to have caught the Wormholedeath team’s attention and to work alongside passionate, driven, and dedicated people,” said Souillé.
1. Qu’étouffent tes fidèles archanges 2. Misérable que je suis 3. Dénégation 4. Sans souillure morale 5. Déluge violacé 6. Sombre lumière

Following previously-released album appetizers, “Candy Cain Murder”, “Starry Eyes”, “Feel the Pain”, the epic album title track and just recently, “Tik Tok (Darkness)”, today,the extraordinary metal collective is premiering a music video for their exceptional, haunting cover version of THE HOOTERS‘ classic “All You Zombies”!
“We built our world on noise and forgot to listen,”Curse Of Cain drummer The Mechanic says. “Now, through Rainbow’s voice, the silence speaks — more clear and piercing than ever. And in that quiet, the reckoning breathes.”
The Timekeeper (guitar) adds: “The clocks are quiet now, but their silence screams. This song is not about the past — it’s a warning written in dusk and shadow. We do not sing for comfort. We sing because time demands it.”Vocalist The Soulkeeper amends: “Some souls drift, weightless in denial. This cover holds a mirror to them all. Wrapped in Rainbow’s voice, it’s a lullaby for the blind — and a requiem for what could have been.”
“For once, the voice is mine alone,”Rainbow reveals. “I sing not just to be heard — but to remember. ‘All You Zombies’ is a hymn for the forgotten, a soft cry beneath a crumbling sky. There’s beauty in the sorrow… if you dare to listen.”
Emerging from the enigmatic depths of their unique dimension, Curse Of Cain redefines what it means to be a band. Shrouded in mystery and driven by an unrelenting force they call Movie Metal, Curse of Cain is more than music, it’s an immersive saga. Their narrative weaves together struggles, victories, and the haunting beauty of a dystopian universe, brought to life by a cast of compelling characters.
With their forthcoming sonic masterpiece, “Achtung!”, Curse Of Cain elevate their storytelling to a new level of intensity. Each track is a chapter, plunging listeners deep into the trials, transformations, and unity of the band’s personas. This album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a declaration of resilience and individuality. Themes of defiance, survival, and self-discovery resonate through every riff, breakdown, and melody.
Curse Of Cain doesn’t just perform music; they transport audiences to another world. Their live shows blur the line between concert and theater, with elaborate costumes, immersive lighting, and gripping storytelling. Fans become part of the narrative, stepping into the Curse Of Cain dimension as the band’s characters invite them to join the journey. It’s not just a show, it’s a portal into a rich, otherworldly experience. The band’s inspiration draws from a dystopian, futuristic world scarred by the Red War of 2076. Here, Cain, a shadowy figure, navigates a shattered society teetering on collapse. His story is told through The Band, a group of misfit antiheroes who serve as both musicians and storytellers. By day, they’re a traveling cover band; by night, they’re operatives fighting against parasitic beings known as the “wrecks,” which infest and manipulate human hosts.
Curse Of Cain’s debut album delves into Cain’s past, revealing the events that shaped him and his enduring fight for survival. With “Achtung!”, the narrative unfolds further, showcasing a turning point in their universe, a battle against chaos, a rise against the darkness.

We are the ones who walk the line between light and shadow, chaos and order,” Curse Of Cain declares. “Through “Achtung!”, we offer a glimpse into our battles and triumphs. This album is not just our story, it’s yours. Together, we defy the darkness.”
With their forthcoming studio album as the next chapter in their epic tale, Curse Of Cain invite you to step into their world, feel the power of their music, and embrace the story of struggle and unity. Welcome to the dimension of Curse Of Cain, and prepare to be transformed!
