Mystic Production, under exclusive license from Nuclear Blast, launches the Classic Blast series with a reissue of BELPHEGOR’s “Pestapokalypse VI” – a cornerstone release in the evolution of extreme black/death metal.
First unleashed in 2006, “Pestapokalypse VI” quickly established itself as one of the most uncompromising and blasphemous records of its era. Driven by relentless blast beats, razor-sharp riffing and provocative, anti-religious themes, the album captures BELPHEGOR at their most ferocious and focused.
Its production strikes a precise balance between raw aggression and sonic clarity, allowing the band’s technical prowess and intensity to shine while preserving a suffocating, oppressive atmosphere.
Regarded as an essential entry in the band’s catalog, “Pestapokalypse VI” remains a benchmark for fans of extreme black/death metal.
Mystic Production brings the album back into the spotlight, reaffirming its status as a genre-defining work within the Classic Blast series.

Since 2009, ARCHSPIRE has aimed to be one thing above all else: extreme. With their upcoming release, ‘TOO FAST TO DIE,’ they’ve once again raised the bar for what extreme music can be.
“We’re like a bit of meth in your cigarette,” says vocalist Oliver Rae Aleron, describing the band’s unhinged live show. “I think people don’t quite know how to describe what they’re hearing.”
In 2025, ARCHSPIRE announced their new drummer, Spencer Moore, marking a shift in the band’s trajectory. New blood brings new influences, and with the first single “Carrion Ladder,” they intended to show exactly how quickly he proved himself.
“I had to step my game up fast to pull off the new material,”Spencer explains. “But once we started tracking, everything felt comfortable and natural.”
Recorded in 2025, the album reunites the band with world-renowned producer Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Khemmis) for the third time. They locked themselves inside his Denver studio for several months, cutting out distractions and dedicating themselves entirely to the record.
‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ follows the critically acclaimed Juno Award-winning ‘Bleed the Future,’ and marks the band’s first fully independent release. Early in the writing process, they chose to crowdfund the album, a strategy they’d used before, but nothing prepared them for the scale of what came next.
They raised nearly $400,000 CAD in 30 days, blowing past their goal in under 24 hours and confirming that independence was the right move.
“I was actually shaking when I pressed launch,” says guitarist Dean Lamb. “We’d never taken on something this big, and all I could think was, ‘man, I hope we don’t mess this up.’”
‘TOO FAST TO DIE’ is set for release on April 10, 2026, and represents a new chapter for ARCHSPIRE. Now fully independent and armed with a revitalized lineup, they’re intent on expanding their already rabid fanbase, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal, and having a great time doing it.
ARCHSPIRE will be hitting the road this Spring on the Long Roads Big Loads Tour alongside special guests Undeath, Crown Magnetar and Mutilation Barbecue. The tour begins April 24th in Calgary, AB before storming across North America and concluding on June 6th in Vancouver, BC. For a full list of dates, please see below.

Cleveland’s unholy denizens of the underground, NUNSLAUGHTER, proudly unleash their new single, “Jesus Fu*king Dies,” off of their upcoming BLKIIBLK debut album, ‘Satanic Chaos Legions,’ set for release on June 26, 2026. “Jesus Fu*king Dies” arrives alongside an official music video, available to view below.
On the new track, vocalist Don of the Dead comments:
“This song germinated with one line from our guitarist, Tormentor, when he asked ‘Did Mary cum when Jesus was conceived?’ I find the whole Gospel absurd but the best part of the story is where ‘Jesus Fu*king Dies.’“
Watch the Music Video for “Jesus Fu*king Dies” HERE
A constant in extreme metal and an unyielding inspiration for generations of black metal and thrash provocateurs, NUNSLAUGHTER’s latest hymnal of brutality kicks off with a call to irreligious arms and doesn’t let go until the bloody end. Tracks like the grinding “Peukharist” or the uncompromising “Unsacrament” batter the senses like the bastard offspring of Slayer and ‘Earth A.D.’-era Misfits, inverting crucifixes while worshipping at the hoof of the ibex.
Having already set fire to the international metal scene with festival appearances across the globe and a European tour on the way, make no mistake: NUNSLAUGHTER’s campaign of world-defilement is just beginning.
On the upcoming album, Don of the Dead shares:
“With BLKIIBLK on our side NUNSLAUGHTER can ram the black horn of Satan down the throats of every metalhead on the planet, spitting fresh venom and blistering hatred directly into the rotting face of Christianity with ‘Satanic Chaos Legions.’“
NUNSLAUGHTER will hit the road this summer for European tour. A full list of dates is below.
NUNSLAUGHTER Live: May 5th – Milwaukee Metal Fest June 26th – PL Szczecin – Hells Bells Festival June 27th – PL Krakow – Club Zascianek June 28th – SK Kosice – Riders Pub June 30th – RO Bucharest – Quantic Club July 1st – HU Budapest – Supersonic / Blue Hell July 2nd – CZ Trutnov – Obscene Extreme Festival July 3rd – DE Friesack – Under the Black Sun Festival July 4th – DE Kassel – Goldgrube July 5th – NL Tilburg – Little Devil July 6th – BE Oostende – Twilight July 7th – BE Antwerp – Antwerp Music City July 8th – DE Rostock – Peter-Weiss-Haus July 9th – DK Fredericia – Metal Magic Festival July 10th – DE Hamburg – Bambi Galore July 11th – DE Torgau – In Flammen Open Air

Limberlost returns with “Babylon (Redux)”, a powerful reimagining of their 2017 track “Babylon,” rebuilt with the band’s current lineup and evolved modern rock sound. The new version captures everything Limberlost has become—bigger guitars, cinematic energy, and emotionally charged vocals, while revisiting a song that feels more relevant now than ever.
“Babylon (Redux)” dives straight into the chaos of today’s social climate, touching on division, media noise, shifting truths, and the tension that defines modern life. Driven by powerful hooks, dynamic instrumentation, and the band’s signature blend of alternative rock and hard rock intensity, the track transforms the original concept into something darker, heavier, and more urgent.
With “Babylon (Redux),” Limberlost proves that some songs aren’t finished, they simply wait for the right moment to rise again.
Backed by their acclaimed new album Beautiful Scars, three SMR Top 50 singles, and 2 award winning videos with over a million views each, Limberlost proves once again that their fire only burns hotter with time.
Upcoming Shows: 7/31 Rock the Glen ….. Glenrock, WY 8/8 Full Throttle Saloon ….. 86th Sturgis Rally 8/10 Full Throttle Saloon ….. 86th Sturgis Rally 8/13 Full Throttle Saloon ….. 86th Sturgis Rally 9/18 Cruisers ….. Stateline, ID 9/26 Rock the Locks Festival ….. Umatilla, OR
Limberlost is a powerhouse American rock band delivering a bold fusion of modern and classic rock with soaring vocals, electrifying guitar riffs, and thunderous rhythms. Known for their anthemic sound, raw energy, and emotionally charged storytelling, they create music that resonates with fans of classic rock legends and contemporary rock revivalists alike. Their songs capture themes of strength, resilience, and empowerment, making them a force in the rock scene. With a commanding stage presence and dynamic compositions, Limberlost is redefining female-fronted rock, bringing authenticity, passion, and rock authority to audiences worldwide.
Limberlost’s rise is backed by Paul Crosby Management, led by Paul Crosby, drummer of the multi-platinum rock band Saliva. His industry expertise and strategic vision have positioned the band for massive success in today’s rock landscape.
Limberlost is known for their captivating female led vocals. Leads Brittany Lauren and Sammie Gorham both classically trained and accomplished opera singers that bring their beauty, power and precision to cut through rock’s sometimes predictable expectations.
Adding to their momentum is the recent addition of Metal Hall of Fame bass player Steve Unger, known for his work with legendary bands Metal Church and Autograph. His veteran stage presence and technical prowess bring a new depth to Limberlost’s already dynamic sound, elevating their live performances and recording capabilities to the next level.
If that’s not enough the addition of Steve’s son Devon Unger on Lead Guitar. Not only can his melodies mesmerize, and his shredding solos make you want to scream “Hell Ya!” but he will have the ladies eating out of his hands.
Wrap it up with Anthony Ciarochi on Keys and Mike Burt (Founder) on drums. Two solid industry veterans that anchor the stage presence and the sound.
Italian modern metal force DUST proudly releases their highly anticipated sophomore album, “Thoughts Of A Falling Man,” available worldwide as from April 3rd, 2026, through Rockshots Records. Marking a decisive evolution in the band’s sound, “Thoughts Of A Falling Man” pushes DUST into heavier, darker, and more introspective territory. The record unfolds as a conceptual near‑death journey, where the protagonist confronts guilt, judgment, and inner demons in a suspended dimension between eternity and oblivion. The result is a visceral, immersive experience that captures the psychological collapse and spiritual limbo at the heart of the album’s narrative. Musically, DUST deliver their most uncompromising work to date, an intense fusion of death metal brutality, groove‑driven heaviness, thrash aggression, and black metal atmosphere. Sharp riffing, tightly controlled dynamics, and a constant sense of tension shape a cohesive and oppressive sonic landscape from start to finish.
Recommended for fans of Parkway Drive, Jinjer, and Trivium.
New album “Thoughts Of A Falling Man” is available from Rockshots Records at the following links:
Track Listing: 1. Intro – 1:49 2. Before Your Awaken – 5:23 3. Death’s Ashes Upon Me – 3:52 4. Contemptus Mundi – 3:58 5. Fragments of Mirror – 4:26 6. Thoughts of a Falling Man – 6:40 7. Bodyless – 3:44 8. The Reaping of the Scythe – 3:56 9. Beyond the Void – 6:06 Album Length: 39:54
