The second studio album by the Finnish melodic death metal band Bloody Moon, entitled Lost & Damned, was released on 31 October 2025 via Inverse Records. The band also released their fourth music video. This time, it’s for the track ‘Rage Metal’, and it’s available below.
The band comments: ” “Lost & Damned” is the result of long and determined work, and musically the most ambitious body of work we’ve created so far. We wanted to build an album that would be more than just the sum of its parts—not merely a collection of songs, but something greater and more meaningful.
The themes of the songs were inspired by real life, human relationships, and personal experiences. We aimed to channel all the emotions we dealt with directly into the songs—raw and unfiltered. Both heavy and beautiful topics walk hand in hand on the album, painting a picture of an individual’s experience of the world.
Recording took about a month in total, though it was done in several separate sessions. We started with the drums and wrapped things up with background choirs and shouts. The songs are guitar-driven, but we gave the catchy choruses more room to shine than ever before.”
German metal outfit Unprocessed have unveiled ‘Head in the Clouds’ featuring guest vocals from Jason Butler of Fever333. The single is released ahead of their new album Angel, released on Halloween 2025 (31st October).
Unprocessed comment on the single “Jason from Fever333 absolutely astonished us with his input on ‘Head in the Clouds’ and what he did is open a whole new universe for Unprocessed. With his rap-like flows and one of the strongest choruses we’ve ever worked with, the song takes an almost nu-metal direction. Combined with one of Manu‘s iconic main riffs, this track one of our favourites on the album. Lyrically, this song follows the idea of being overwhelmed with today’s world, forced to shine and to keep the show going, no matter how you feel. We’re proud of this collaboration and are honoured to be able to work with one of the best frontmen in the scene.”
Jason adds: “Simply put. There are plenty of folks making music out there. Plenty of folks with obvious talent in the guitar oriented spaces. But this track made me feel something the moment I heard a mere clip of it which is why I told Manuel even if they don’t use it, I needed to contribute to it somehow.”
In Germany, the band will embark on an album release week tour of key record stores to celebrate Angel, culminating in a hometown release party in Wiesbaden, at the venue where it all began for the band. All events and details can be found below.
The signing event at Rough Trade Berlin will also see the presentation of the wine collaboration with Schottwein, a local winery close to where Unprocessed are from. There will be a wine tasting of two new wines – an Unprocessed Angel Riesling, and an Unprocessed ‘Deadrosé’ Spatburgunder Rosé wine.

Unprocessed is composed of Manuel Gardner Fernandes (vocals, guitar), David Levy (bass, synths), Christoph Schultz (guitar), and Leon Pfeifer (drums). Their upcoming album Angel marks another bold step in the band’s creative evolution. Expanding their sonic palette with heavier textures and emotive and intimate lyricism that highlights their poppier side. Angel features high-profile guest appearances from Zelli of Paleface Swiss and Jason Aalon Butler of Letlive and Fever 333. These collaborations add new layers of urgency and intensity to a record that explores themes of conflict, duality, and inner transformation.
The band speaks more about the themes of Angel: “This album is more than just a record by four boys from Germany – it’s a light shone upon the unknown, like memories from the afterlife. We explored the concept of “Angel” in various ways: becoming an angel through real-life actions, hearing angels serenade, a fallen angel telling his story and becoming the Antichrist, or seeing someone as an angel through glorification. This concept inspired both the music and the lyrics. While we’re leaning more into a polished metalcore sound, the record still maintains the essence of what makes Unprocessed unique. It features some of the craziest guitar, bass, and drum work we’ve ever showcased as a band. At the same time, we believe it’s more accessible to the broader metal and metalcore audience, with our strongest and catchiest hooks and melodies to date.”
The band’s previous album, …and everything in between (2023), received widespread acclaim for its complex arrangements and specifically heavy compositions. The record launched a major touring cycle which saw the band complete headline shows with many sold out across North America, and Europe, as well as performing their largest shows in China, and venturing into Japan, Thailand, Singapore and Australia for the first time. They also appeared at prominent festivals such as Download (UK), Graspop Metal Meeting (Belgium), Mystic Festival (Poland) and Resurrection Festival (Spain).
In the past two years, Unprocessed have supported major heavy acts including In Flames, TesseracT, August Burns Red, Spiritbox, and Polyphia. Their collaborative work with Polyphia guitarists Tim Henson and Scott LePage on …and everything in between highlighted the potential Unprocessed continues to exhibit amongst the scene’s most exciting guitar focused acts.
Central to Unprocessed’s identity is guitarist and vocalist Manuel Gardner Fernandes, whose playing has garnered international attention across online platforms and beyond. His partnership with Ibanez, including a signature model, and his ongoing guitar clinics around the world, reflect his growing status as one of the leading voices in modern metal guitar.
Unprocessed continue to push their sound forward with each release. Angel presents their most focused and dynamic material to date, offering a deeper look into the extremes of human experience without losing the technical foundations that first set them apart.

ELECTRIC TEMPLE announces the release of their new music video “Am I Damned?”, from their debut album, “High Voltage Salvation”, that was released through Eonian Records.
U.S. based rock band Electric Temple is ready to stake their claim in the classic hard rock/metal community. The up-and-coming band will premier its new video for the single, ‘Am I Damned?‘ Oct. 30th in time for Halloween. The impact is felt from the start by this combination of seasoned musicians as there is some serious rock pedigree in the band – Andrew Freeman (Last in Line, Lynch Mob, Offspring) on vocals, Mike Duda (W.A.S.P.) on bass, Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, Mr. Big, KIX) on drums, and guitarist/songwriter/producer Tony Childs (Shanghai). The track boasts a musical arrangement whose driving guitars, powerhouse vocals and overall instrumentation pays homage to proper old school metal elements similar in sound and style to classic works from the likes of Dio, AC/DC and Ozzy, but with a modern production that gives a fresh and welcomed sonic twist by mix wizard Chris Collier (Korn, Whitesnake, Mick Mars). The song’s dark lyrical theme takes us to a journey within our own human condition, set up nicely from the start by the intro’s heavy guitar riff.

The debut demo from LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT is now streaming in full exclusively at Death Metal Promotion. Out October 31st, 2025 via Nuclear Winter Records, the release marks a new chapter for Milan-based multi-instrumentalist Gabriele Gramaglia. Across its three tracks, the EP channels a feral strain of extreme metal – a raw collision of death, black, and speed metal impulses, wrapped in a dense, punishing production.
LUGUBRIOUS GARMENT emerges as the latest creation of Milan-based multi-instrumentalist and relentless sound explorer Gabriele Gramaglia (Cosmic Putrefaction, Vertebra Atlantis, Turris Eburnea, among others). Conceived in the spring of 2025, the project was born out of an urge to channel a more brutal, ravenous instinct compared to Gramaglia’s other ventures, giving shape to a merciless yet dynamic form of extreme metal.
The first demo, set for release on October 31st, 2025 via Nuclear Winter Records, consists of three tracks forged in a gritty, thick production entirely handled by Gramaglia himself. Across its span, the recording showcases fast, annihilating death metal infused with the raw energy of black and speed metal, a sonic onslaught that balances resolute aggression with moments of unsettling variation.
Adding further intensity to the project, session drummer Claudio Invidia (Defacement, Devoid of Thought) contributes relentless percussion, underpinning a surge of scorching riffs, despairing screams and merciless rhythmic assaults. The result is a wall of sound that makes no compromises, embodying Gramaglia’s vision of feral, unchained heaviness.
Tracklist:
1. Of Vengeful Intransigence 2. Emanations of Impure Deities 3. Eternal Scars and Imperative Backfires
Line-up:
GG: all instruments, vocals Claudio Invidia: session drums

It’s Devil’s Night and as the veil between the living and the dead gets thinner, New Jersey experimental metal collective TOMBS is honoring the somber day with a haunting new music video for the song “Nightland.” The track is taken from the band’s new album, ‘Feral Darkness,’ which was released on October 17 via Redefining Darkness. Watch the video, which was Filmed by Mike Goncalves, Matt Priso, Sera Timms and Drew Murphy, at THIS LOCATION.
Frontman Mike Hill comments, “Nightland is the spiritual center of ‘Feral Darkness,’ expressing the dark heart of the record.”
The band is not only returning with a new label, but also with a new sound! While ‘Feral Darkness’ still embraces TOMBS’ black metal roots, it also explores the band’s gothic, death rock side, creating the band’s darkest and most haunting record to date!
Formed in 2007, New Jersey-based experimental metal outfit TOMBS blends bleak, post-punk minimalism with the ferocious attack of sludge and haunting goth rock. TOMBS have established themselves as an act that’s as committed to consistency as it is to growth, developing smoothly (but never predictably) over the course of their career.
TOMBS Lineup: Mike Hill – guitar / vocals / synth Justin Spaeth – drums / guitar Andrew Murphy – Bass / guitar / vocals Dan Higgins – guitar
Guest Musicians: Sera Timms – vocals on “Nightland” (Black Mare, Black Math Horsemen, Ides of Gemini)
