The two bands will showcase their extreme visual soundscapes on stage: the unmistakable computer metal of MASTER BOOT RECORD, and the giallo-inspired death metal of FULCI. AROTTENBIT will join the tour as special guests on all dates.
MASTER BOOT RECORD (aka MBR) is a Computer Metal project founded in 2016 blending heavy metal with chiptune and demo scene music. Live, MBR deploys a full band alongside Commodore 64, Amiga 500 and a visual voyage into retro computer culture, videogame classics and demo scene legendary productions.
FULCI has been redefining death metal with a unique blend of crushing riffs, cinematic atmospheres, and horror-driven storytelling. Named after the legendary Italian filmmaker and “Godfather of Gore” Lucio Fulci, the band transforms the aesthetics of cult horror into a sonic nightmare, creating albums that feel like soundtracks to blood-soaked films.
AROTTENBIT is an experimental music project founded in 2008 in Milan transforming a Game Boy into a sonic weapon that tears through chiptune, sludge metal, hardcore punk, and techno.

Blending crushing guitars, haunting atmospheres, and immersive sound design, this release brings the blood-soaked legacy of Kain and Raziel to life like never before.
The soundtrack features the all-new original track “Elaleth”, which premiered yesterday at RevolverMag, highlighted by a soaring and emotionally charged guitar solo performance from Matthew Kiichi Heafy of Trivium.

Beyond the core songs, The Dead Shall Rise soundtrack immerses listeners deeper into Nosgoth with exclusive “story-mode” tracks, featuring cinematic musical beds, intricate sound design, and original in-game voice-over dialogue. These atmospheric pieces blur the line between album and experience, placing fans directly inside the world’s crumbling pillars, haunted ruins, and shifting timelines.

Bit Bot serves as the official licensing and partnership arm for this project, which has been developed in direct collaboration with Crystal Dynamics, as the companion soundtrack to the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver – The Dead Shall Rise graphic novel that raised over $1.7 million in crowdfund backing to bring the project to life.

LINKWELLS will release their rousing new single ‘Can’t Chase Yesterday’ on 27th March on Flip Flop Records.
‘Can’t Chase Yesterday‘ is a vibrant anthem about living in the moment, celebrating the power of embracing the present rather than dwelling on the past. With uplifting melodies and reflective lyrics, the song encourages listeners to let go of what’s gone, celebrate today, and welcome new experiences with optimism, openness, and a sense of adventure toward the opportunities the future holds.

No rest for the wicked. Since the release of their latest full-length, The Nothing That Is,FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY has remained in constant motion. Today, the band marks the kickoff of their massive US tour alongside headliners LAMB OF GOD by unleashing a brand-new standalone single: ‘The Wretch.’
Driven by relentless galloping riffs and punishing percussion, ‘The Wretch‘ features the band’s trademark earth-shattering breakdowns balanced by haunting, melodic layers in the chorus. It’s the definitive soundtrack for their return to the stage.
FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY‘s Will Putney states,
“True to our general nature, “The Wretch” is another relatively pessimistic and grim glimpse into our worldly outlook. In a time where nothing seems to be getting any better at home or abroad, we find there can always be a moment of comfort in the thought of burning it all down. We hope this song is that temporary oasis for you as well. Thank you for listening.”

FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY released their seventh studio album The Nothing That Is in 2024, which featured the singles ‘Hostage‘, ‘Savior Of None / Ashes Of All‘, ‘Lower Purpose‘, and ‘Red Horizon‘. Stream/purchase The Nothing That Is at https://ffaa.bfan.link/the-nothing-that-is
FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s acclaimed 2022 album On What the Future Holds was the band’s highest-charting release to date, becoming the first of their six full-lengths to reach the Top 25 of the Billboard 200. But while some musicians would take such an achievement as a cue to duplicate whatever worked last time, or maybe even tailor their sound to boost its commercial appeal, the band – vocalist Joe Badolato, guitarists Will Putney, Patrick Sheridan, and Tim Howley, bassist Peter Spinazola, and drummer Josean Orta – simply continued to evolve along their own path. The Nothing That Is, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY’s seventh and latest album (and third for Nuclear Blast), bears no sign whatsoever of commercial concession or rehashed past glories. Instead, the ten-song album finds the band exploring moodier textures and deeper emotions that add new power and dynamics to their already brutal and complex music, while also completely tuning out the ambient noise of passing musical trends and the expectations of the outside world. Produced by Putney at his Graphic Nature Audio studio in Kinnelon, New Jersey, The Nothing That Is is an album filled with anger, frustration, and crushing despair. Songs like ‘Hostage‘, ‘Red Horizon‘, ‘Lower Purpose‘,and the pummeling title track grapple with the horrors that the human race has unnecessarily inflicted upon the world, while the epic, introspective closer ‘The Silver Sun‘ reflects bitterly upon our uncertain future. Built to be listened to in its entirety in a single sitting, The Nothing That Is flows like the gripping soundtrack to a documentary film of our increasingly dystopian existence. A ringing wake-up call for humanity and a thoroughly intense listening experience, The Nothing That Is brims with both aggression and melody, it’s bracing music is delivered with the confidence of a band that has honed its skills and forged its sense of purpose through fifteen-plus years of all-out live shows. Sufficiently secure of their place in the metal firmament to let their music go wherever feels right for a particular song, FIT FOR AN AUTOPSY have delivered what may well be the greatest album of their career.
Death/Grind outfit Gorerotted have announced the re-issue of their 2000 classic Mutilated In Minutes via Hammerheart Records. The re-issue will be out on 22nd May via the label.
Gorerotted have always thrived on chaos, excess, and a sense of unfiltered fun, but where a band like Pungent Stench often leaned into sleazy groove, Gorerotted pushed further into sheer intensity. Tracks such as ‘Put Your Bits in a Concrete Mix’, ‘Cut Gut, Beaten, Eaten’ and ‘Gagged, Shagged and Bodybagged’ stand out as defining cuts, combining savage energy with undeniably memorable hooks. There is also a strong undercurrent of the twisted black humour associated with Macabre, woven throughout the album’s sharp-edged, chant-like appeal. The result is a record that balances extremity with entertainment, one that delivers the violence and ferocity expected of death metal and grind, while never losing sight of its deliberately irreverent spirit.
Musically, comparisons to early Cannibal Corpse, Exhumed and pre-Whisper SupremacyCryptopsy are valid to a point, but they only tell part of the story. Gorerotted was never simply another extreme metal band trading in gore and heaviness for their own sake. Their sound feels more like a collision of those influences with Macabre, Pungent Stench, and even a touch of Blood Duster, all filtered through the absurd, grotesque energy of early Peter Jackson films and the anarchic humour of Monty Python. It is precisely that combination of brutality, humour, and personality that gives the album its lasting appeal.
Track-list: 1. Hacksore 2. Bed ‘em, Behead ‘em 3. Stab Me Till I Cum 4. Cut, Gut, Beaten, Eaten 5. Corpse Fucking Art 6. Put Your Bits an a Concrete Mix 7. Mutilated in Minutes, Severed in Seconds 8. Gagged, Shagged, Bodybagged 9. Severed, Sawn and Sold as Porn Bonus Tracks: 10. Limb by Limb 11. Carrion Smelling 12. Cut, Gut, Beaten, Eaten (Live in Germany 2002)
Hamburg-based melodic thrash metal powerhouse GODSNAKE have released the official music video for the title track of their upcoming studio album “Inhale The Noise”, which will be unleashed on April 17, 2026 via Massacre Records.
Following the previously released single “Lost & Forgotten”, the title track “Inhale The Noise” represents another explosive chapter of the band’s upcoming record. Packed with razor-sharp riffs, driving rhythms and a massive chorus built to be shouted along to, the song perfectly captures the band’s signature mix of melodic hooks and relentless thrash metal energy.
The band comment: “The title track of our new album ‘Inhale The Noise’ is finally here – and we are damn proud to present you a proper heavy smasher with an ear candy chorus that will stay in your head long after the last note fades. The cherry on top is an absolute masterpiece guitar solo by the one and only Jean Bormann from Rage, who brought an incredible energy and fire to the song.
Music can have such an impact and power if you just let it happen – so turn it up loud, feel the energy and INHALE THE NOISE!”
Produced by GODSNAKE together with Lasse Lammert at LSD Studios (Alestorm, Wind Rose, Gloryhammer), “Inhale The Noise” delivers a massive and modern production which enhances both the aggressive thrash passages and the more melodic and atmospheric moments of the band’s sound.
The album marks an important step forward for GODSNAKE: heavier, sharper and more diverse than ever, while remaining firmly rooted in the band’s powerful blend of melodic thrash metal, memorable hooks and high-energy songwriting.
“Inhale The Noise” will be released in the following formats:
To celebrate the release, GODSNAKE have also confirmed several live shows and festival appearances for spring and summer 2026, including a special album release show in their hometown Hamburg.
GODSNAKE live:
