Rising heavy metal sensation MYSTIC BLADE is thrilled to unveil their latest sonic assault, “Turn the Page”, along with an astonishing lyric video. This powerful track is the second single taken from their highly anticipated album, “The Master Is Inside,” set for release on October 18th, 2024, via Wormholedeath.
“Turn the Page” is more than just a banger—it’s an anthem for anyone who’s ever made mistakes, felt the sting of regret, and needed that reminder to pick themselves back up. The song hits heavy both musically and emotionally, with lyrics that push you to move on from past mistakes and see life as a series of chapters. Mystyc Blade delivers that raw, gut-punch of emotion while still leaving you feeling empowered by the end. This one’s for everyone fighting their own battles.
“The Master Is Inside” is a deeply personal and dynamic album that explores a wide range of emotions and themes. Each of the 11 tracks stands as its narrative, touching on personal experiences, reflections on life and death, storytelling, and even environmental concerns. Musically, it’s a rich fusion of intense riffs, haunting melodies, powerful solos, and a cinematic atmosphere. Tracks like “Pyramids and Mystery,” “Song of Butterflies,” “Forever Alone,” and the title track “The Master Is Inside” carry a cinematic quality—you can close your eyes and visualize the story unfolding like a movie. Overall, it’s a mature and reflective album, centered on resilience, facing inner demons, and finding meaning through struggle.”
This October, Selfmadegod Records will release Apophenia, the devastating seventh studio full-length from long-running Polish death metal technicians DEIVOS, today unveiling the record’s cover art, track listing, and lead single, “Sermon Of Hypocrisy.”
DEIVOS formed in 1997, and in 1999 released their first demo, Praised By Generations. After a few years of silence, in 2003 they released the Hostile Blood EP via Butchery Music, which was enthusiastically received by the underground death metal community. In 2004 the band started writing new songs for their first album, which was eventually recorded in early 2006 at the famous Hertz Studio (Decapitated, Vader); Emanation From Below was released in Poland in November 2006 by Empire Records. Thanks to Metal Mind Productions, the album was released in Europe in January 2008, and then in the USA.
In late 2008, DEIVOS entered the Hertz studio again to record their second album, Gospel Of Maggots. This record gained the attention of the American label Unique Leader Records, who released it in February 2010. Following some lineup changes, the band returned to Hertz Studio in February 2011 to record their third album, Demiurge Of The Void, which was also released by Unique Leader in September 2011.
After a four-year hiatus, DEIVOS signed with Selfmadegod Records to release their devastating album, Theodicy, in February 2015. The band’s next album, Endemic Divine, came two years later, and their sixth album, Casus Belli, was released in November 2019, both also through Selfmadegod Records.
In 2021, DEIVOS and Selfmadegod reissued the band’s oldest releases, and so the Emanation From Below, Hostile Blood, and Praised By Generations were reissued together as a double-disc set.
The past few years have been devoted to creating the seventh DEIVOS album, now revealed as Apophenia, a mesmerizingly demolishing listening experience. The album ruptures forth nine new tracks, void of filler, stacked end-to-end with breakneck transitions and bulldozing passages of technical but not overthought death metal that dismantles everything in its path.
Apophenia was captured across Poland throughout 2023, the drums engineered/recorded by Krzysztof Godycki at Roslyn Studio, the bass recorded at Kamil Home Studio, and the guitars and vocals recorded at Zed Studio where the album was mixed and mastered by Tomek Zalewski at Zed Studio in early 2024. The album’s intros and outros were created by Mścisław except the “Feretory” outro by Head.One.Beatz. Apophenia is completed with cover art by the late Mariusz Lewandowski (Mizmor, Bell Witch, Fuming Mouth), design and layout by Michał Kaczkowski, and photography by Marcin Studziński.
With the album’s lead single, “Sermon Of Hypocrisy,” vocalist Hubert Banach succinctly states, “The song is pretty straightforward about religious hypocrisy and bigotry of the clergy.”

Apophenia will be released on CD and digital platforms October 18th. Watch for preorders and additional previews of the album to be dispatched over the weeks ahead.

Battle-hardened heavy metal warriors GRAND MAGUS have released ‘The Wheel Of Pain‘, which is the second single from their upcoming 10th studio album, Sunraven.
Sunraven will be released on October 18th through Nuclear Blast Records, and conceptually deals with the legendary poem Beowulf, an ancient tale of epic proportions about heroes and monsters, honor and bravery, victory and defeat. In short, themes that have always played an important role in the lyrical concept of GRAND MAGUS.
JB (vocals & guitar) commented: “The album is about Beowulf and Grendel. In essence, Sunraven is Beowulf, and that’s my own invention. But some of the songs are written about and from the perspective of Beowulf, and some of the songs are written about and from the perspective of Grendel, the monster he faces in Denmark. That kind of steered me and carried me through the lyrical process this time. I’ve never done anything like this before. I’ve always been fascinated by that tale. These myths and legends are about all the basic things that we sing about – life, death, glory, dishonour, love, hate, overcoming difficulties, facing impossible opposition and so on.”

What Beetlejuice 2 is About
Don’t worry, we won’t give away too much. But here’s a little sneak peek.

This time, however, she plays the mother of her teenage daughter Astrid, played by Jenna Ortega, who many will recognize from the hit series “Wednesday”. When Astrid discovers a portal to the afterlife in the attic, chaos ensues – and Beetlejuice, played by Michael Keaton, makes his return. Get ready for a wild ghostly comedy that stays true to the humor and uniqueness of the original.

Following the singles “Innocent” and “Saint & Sinner” from Dead End Finland‘s upcoming sixth studio album, the band is now releasing a single called “Adrenaline.”
While the previous single “Saint & Sinner” showcased the band’s more modern style and the album’s first release “Innocent” demonstrated DEF’s ability to write gigantic and grandiose metal ballads, “Adrenaline” represents the band’s more straightforward expression. “Adrenaline” pushes forward like a train. It echoes our earlier work but with our current sound. This represents the “try not to mosh” section of the upcoming album,” rambles Santtu Rosen in his overalls while shoveling chicken shit on his new farm.
Dead End Finland is a melodic metal band from Helsinki founded in 2007. The lineup, which has remained unchanged since the beginning, has enabled the band’s sound to develop into its current rich form. Dead End Finland is difficult to place into any specific genre, and in the songs you can hear tones from classical music to death metal. During the years, the band’s style has become even more bombastic and melodic. The compositions have gained more depth and insight. The upcoming sixth album takes the band in a more modern direction, although Dead End Finland’s recognizable sound and basic elements are still easily heard.
Line-up: Mikko Virtanen – Vocals Santtu Rosén – Guitars & Bass Miska Rajasuo – Drums Jarno Hänninen – Keys
