Following the release of their first single “Revenant” and the announcement of their signing with Octopus Rising, Italian stoner/doom outfit PETROSA are back to unveil “Viper”, the second single taken from their upcoming debut album Roadburn Chronicles, set for release on August 28th, 2026 in CD and Digital format via Octopus Rising, the Argonauta Records imprint dedicated to emerging heavy acts.
“‘Viper’ embodies one of the darkest sides of the album. It’s about the poisonous relationships and destructive instincts that slowly infiltrate our lives, often without us even realizing it. Musically, we wanted the song to feel relentless yet hypnotic, balancing crushing heaviness with an atmosphere that gradually pulls the listener deeper into its world.”
With Roadburn Chronicles, PETROSA deliver the definitive statement of the band’s identity. Produced by Carlo Altobelli at Toxic Basement Studio in Carate Brianza, the album was recorded during an intense eight-day session between November 2024 and January 2025, preserving the raw energy and uncompromising spirit that have become central to the band’s sound.
The record unfolds as an introspective journey through the human condition, exploring themes of sin, self-destruction, personal conflict, disillusionment and the constant tension between darkness and redemption. While deeply rooted in heavy, riff-driven landscapes, Roadburn Chronicles also leaves room for hope, freedom and fleeting moments of light, reflected in the album’s evocative “open road” atmosphere.
Faithful to their self-defined philosophy of “Doom Carved in Stone(r)”, PETROSA merge the expansive groove of stoner rock with the crushing weight of classic doom, crafting songs that are equally immersive, emotional and powerful.
Fans with a keen eye will also discover a hidden detail within the album artwork: the license plate of the blue van featured on the cover bears the exact date of the band’s final day in the recording studio, a subtle tribute to the completion of this important chapter.

Italian progressive metal act GanEden have released the lyric video for “Eva”, a track taken from their concept album Gan Eden.
Musically complex and emotionally charged, “Eva” gives voice to humanity’s first exile, shifting the perspective to the woman who has often been blamed for it. As she questions the authority of her creators and embraces her own freedom, the song challenges the idea that rebellion and knowledge are signs of corruption when they come from a woman. The contrast between being a ‘man’ for a man and being labelled a ‘poison’ or a ‘deception’ as a woman exposes the double standard surrounding Eve’s legacy, transforming her from a symbol of sin into a figure of awareness, strength, and self-determination.
Gan Eden is a progressive metal concept album that reimagines the Genesis narrative, portraying Adam and Eve as genetic experiments created by a higher intelligence and cast out onto Earth. Across the record, both the exiled pair and their creators confront humanity’s darkest flaws, set against atmospheric, powerful soundscapes.
Celldweller Returns with “Respawn,” the second single from his sixth studio album GOD MODE, out now on all major DSPs from FiXT.
Level two begins now. Following the explosive debut of “Fakebreaker” feat. SWARM and REEBZ, Celldweller drops “Respawn,” the second single from his highly anticipated sixth studio album GOD MODE, available today across all major streaming platforms from FiXT.
Built for those who keep showing up even after the system says no, “Respawn” detonates into a relentless collision of guitars, vocals, and Klayton’s signature industrial precision through a metal lens. The lyrics say everything: “I’ve died a thousand times, but I’m still here. Access has been denied, but I’m still here.” Equal parts metal powerhouse and modern rock, this is resilience without sentimentality, from an artist who has never needed permission to return to the playing field.
“Spending my formative years in the 1980’s, gaming systems like the ATARI 2600 (I had the Sears knockoff) and ColecoVision were important and iconic to me. Those memories sparked the concept for my new album GOD MODE, an album revolving around gaming and game culture across different eras, which makes the concept of my next single “Respawn” self-explanatory. I was inspired to throw elements of metal, industrial and punk-rock into a blender to see what would spawn. Lyrically it’s a reminder to myself that even when things seem dire, hopeless, or fatal, I will respawn.” – Klayton (Celldweller)
Rooted in the gaming-influenced world of GOD MODE, “Respawn” captures something every player knows by instinct: every setback is simply another opportunity to rise, rebuild, and return more determined than ever. The album is loading, and the stakes are higher this time.
Fans can stream “Respawn” now on all major DSPs. For the full GOD MODE experience, including bonus tracks and early access to upcoming singles from the album, the GOD MODE Season Pass is available exclusively on EVEN
Forging the sound of electronic-rock for over 20 years, Celldweller has inspired tens of millions of listeners across a global community of fans, content creators, and brands with over 1 billion streams and hundreds of placements in major films, TV shows, and video games. Celldweller’s discography includes the self-titled Celldweller album (2003), Wish Upon a Blackstar (2012), End of an Empire (2015), Offworld (2017), and Satellites (2022). GOD MODE marks his sixth studio album.
Klayton, the multifaceted producer behind Celldweller and owner/founder of the independent record label FiXT, has garnered an intense following across his projects Celldweller, Scandroid, Circle of Dust, and FreqGen. Klayton is also respected and sought after in the media industry, with his music appearing in hundreds of major film, TV, and video game placements including Westworld, Suicide Squad, Jack Reacher, Deadpool, Lucy, John Wick, RoboCop, Pacific Rim, Killer Instinct Season 3, Now You See Me, Dead Rising 3, Call of Duty: Elite, Assassin’s Creed, UFC, and more.

French progressive death metal visionaries EPITAPHE are set to release their highly anticipated third full-length album, “III”, on September 11 through Aesthetic Death (CD + LP) and Gurgling Gore (MC).
Stream the first ‘single’ “Windswept” at THIS LOCATION.
Following the overwhelming acclaim received by “II”, EPITAPHE return with their most ambitious and fully realized work to date. Rather than departing from the artistic path that established the band’s identity, “III” refines, expands and elevates every defining element of its predecessors into a collection of compositions that is both more immersive and more emotionally compelling.
The album pushes the band’s death metal foundation to new extremes, embracing an even harsher, darker and more unforgiving sound without sacrificing the sophistication that has become synonymous with EPITAPHE. Counterbalancing its crushing weight are exquisitely crafted acoustic passages and richly atmospheric interludes that paint vivid sonic landscapes. Once again, at times the distinctive voice of the saxophone plays a central role, adding remarkable depth, warmth and color while further reinforcing the band’s unmistakable musical identity.
Rather than relying on a predictable contrast between moments of aggression and restraint, “III” unfolds with an organic, narrative flow, allowing each composition to evolve naturally and reveal new layers over repeated listens. Every transition serves a purpose, every melody contributes to the wider emotional arc, and every arrangement reflects a meticulous attention to detail. The result is an album of exceptional scope and cohesion, confirming EPITAPHE as one of the most artistically significant acts in today’s extreme metal landscape.
“III” was recorded by James Leonard at Mémoire Mécanique Studio and Pentachrome Wave Studio, before being mixed by James Leonard and mastered by Greg Chandler at Priory Recording Studios. The album artwork features “Spring Frost”, a striking painting by acclaimed Finnish artist Petri Ala-Maunus, perfectly complementing the record’s immersive atmosphere and profound sense of scale.
Dutch black metal solo artist BLACK DOOR is now unveiling yet another haunting, vampiric new single, “Forged by Promethean Fire.” The haunting track is taken from the project’s upcoming sophomore full-length, ‘In the Shadows of a Funerary Gleam,’ due on August 28 via Wolves of Hades. The song can be found at THIS LOCATION.
Additionally, pre-orders for ‘In the Shadows of a Funerary Gleam’ are now live via Wolves of Hades! The USA shop can be found HERE while the EU shop is available HERE.
BLACK DOOR mastermind and multi-instrumentalist Vestibulum comments, “Forging a conclusion out of the melancholic aestheticism I portrayed in this manifestation, ‘Forged by Promethean Fire’ looks ahead into the tempest of time, a future self-created in fiery fervour. The triumphant melodies embrace not only creativity, but also Pandoric curiosity, ridding it from the clutches of patriarchy.”
Following the spectral path unveiled on its debut album, BLACK DOOR returns more fierce and haunting than ever before. ‘In the Shadows of a Funerary Gleam,’ a work steeped in nocturnal mysticism, sepulchral grandeur, and the lingering echoes of eons.
The cover art was created by Grave Bastard and can be found below along with the tracklist.

Following the spectral path unveiled on its debut album, Black Door returns more fierce and
haunting than ever before. ‘In the Shadows of a Funerary Gleam,’ a work steeped in nocturnal mysticism, sepulchral grandeur, and the lingering echoes of eons.
In the ‘Shadows of a Funerary Gleam’ delves further into the dimensions between life and death, nostalgia and oblivion. From the spectral procession of it’s haunting introduction to the Promethean revelations that conclude the album, these compositions unfold as chapters of a singular journey through the funerary mist of forgotten kingdoms inhabited by restless specters
Drawing inspiration from the black legions and vampiric romanticism, Black Door refuses to be confined by simple nostalgia. Beneath its veil of blackened melancholy lies a flame that illuminates both as a beacon and warning; a fading light that guides the listener through stale humid mists, crepuscular awakenings, lamentations of dying ages, and confrontations with powers older than mankind itself. Whether invoking liches wrested from mortality, ancient celestial names whispered from the abyss, or the tragic gift of Promethean fire, Black Door weaves together a mythology of spiritual yearning and cosmic resignation.
To be released by Wolves of Hades on August 28 on LP, CD, MC & Digital, ‘In the Shadows of a Funerary Gleam’ stands as a fully realized expression of the project’s evolving vision, one that balances haunting melody, strife, nocturnal atmosphere, and triumphant darkness with a reverence for the mysterious and the eternal.
