Finnish melodic death metal force SIGYN has officially joined the ranks of Noble Demon and are now unveiling their brand new single and lyric video “The Crawlers”, taken from the band’s upcoming sophomore full-length album “From Nation To Chaos”, set for release on July 10.

Blending razor-sharp riffing, epic melodies, and relentless energy, “The Crawlers” showcases SIGYN’s trademark sound while also exploring slightly new sonic territory – further underlining the band’s evolving approach to modern melodic death metal.

Speaking about the track, guitarist Markus Suomela reveals:

“The starting point of the song differed from our earlier SIGYN material, and at first I wasn’t sure which direction it would take. However, the orchestration and keyboard parts composed by Valtteri brought exactly the right atmosphere to it, and now the track is one of my favorites on the upcoming album.“

Originally formed in 2008 in Helsinki, SIGYN operate within what can best be described as “Epic Melodeath” – a powerful blend of heavy riffs, fast-paced aggression, and memorable melodies, occasionally enriched with symphonic elements. Drawing inspiration from the early 2000s Finnish metal scene, the band fuses intensity and atmosphere into a modern yet unmistakably classic melodic death metal sound.

Following their debut album “Dehumanized” (2023), which earned a spot in Kaaoszine’s “Top 10 Albums of the Year” list, SIGYN quickly established themselves as one of the rising names in the Finnish extreme metal underground. The album’s single “The Real Me” further expanded their reach, receiving airplay on both Radio Helsinki and Radio Rock.

With “From Nation To Chaos”, SIGYN continue to refine their identity – combining soaring melodies, relentless riffing, and an epic sense of scale that will appeal to fans of Children Of Bodom, Wintersun, Arch Enemy, Nightwish, Behemoth, Dimmu Borgir, and Cradle Of Filth.

Tracklist:

01. A New Nation
02. Blind Prophet
03. Break These Chains
04. Creating My Own Chaos
05. The Crawlers
06. Illusion Of Justice
07. Fallen Monuments
08. I Am Nothing
09. World In Flames

Reflecting on the band’s new chapter with Noble Demon, Markus Suomela comments: “SIGYN is proud to join the Noble Demon family and to take this next step in our journey. It feels like a great home to our music, and we can’t wait to share what we have been working on. Exciting times ahead!“

Noble Demon CEO Patrick Walch adds: “Another Finnish band, yes. We could claim once again ‘it must be something in the water or in the mother’s milk in the land of the thousand lakes’, indeed. So, I can’t help but do it as the Finns would — be sparse with words and suggest you check out SIGYN’s first album single ‘Blind Prophet’, which is already out on all streaming services. Listen for yourself and you’ll understand why there is no way to get around this band in 2026. New album out very soon! Of course on NobleDemon \m/“

“From Nation To Chaos” will be released digitally on July 10 via Noble Demon and is available for pre-save at THIS LOCATION

Death Metal Promotion has confirmed the release date, final lineup, and cover artwork for the compilation Death Metal Tribute to OZZY.

The album will be released digitally on August 7, 2026, featuring 26 DEATH METAL bands from the global extreme metal underground. Bands from Europe, North and South America, and Asia each contribute interpretations of songs originally performed by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.

The idea behind the compilation is simple: to pay tribute to his legacy by taking well-known tracks and pushing them through different interpretations coming from the death metal scene. The result isn’t meant to replicate the originals, but to reinterpret them in a heavier and more aggressive form, underlining how deeply these songs have influenced generations of metal musicians across the entire spectrum of the genre.

Tracklist:

Noveria will release the new album “Becoming After” on August 21 through Scarlet Records.

Built upon Noveria’s unmistakable blend of prog power metal, modern heaviness, grandiose atmospheres, and breathtaking musicianship, “Becoming After” pushes the band into unexplored territory – darker, deeper, yet more alive than ever.

Massive choruses collide with crushing riffs, epic soundscapes meet technical intensity, while passionate vulnerability stands proudly beside pure aggression.

Every riff, every orchestration, every scream and melody carries the weight of real battles lived through the fire and survived with scars turned into strength.

With this new record, and a deeply renewed line-up, Noveria return heavier, more cinematic and emotional, and definitely fearless!

San Diego death grind progenitors CATTLE DECAPITATION are pleased to present their latest video for the song “Dead End Residents” from the band’s critically-adored, 2023-released Terrasite full-length. The video release follows the band’s recent 30 Years Of Inhumanity headlining tour and serves as a final Terrasite visual component before the band heads back to the studio to record their next full-length, slated for a 2027 release.

Comments vocalist Travis Ryan, “We’re now sending Terrasite off to go live with the rest of our discography, so as a going away present for our fans we present to you the ‘Dead End Residents’ official music video that was shot live during our European tour last year as well as some footage from the No Fear For Tomorrow Tour. After the Flatline Fest later this month, we’ll be going into a short hibernation mode to finish writing our next album which we’re already many songs deep into! We hit the studio in January, so we’ll see you sometime next year!“

CATTLE DECAPITATION Live:
6/15/2026 Flatline Fest – Denver, CO

Terrasite crushed Billboard charts upon its first week of release, earning the #2 position on the Current Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Current Independent Albums chart, #4 on the Rock Albums chart and more and appeared on multiple Year End List both stateside and abroad. Decibel Magazine called it, “the next important step for a consistently excellent band,” Metal Injection lauded, “another absolutely stellar release from these guys with lyrics and themes that represent the apex of today’s extreme music,” while Blabbermouth championed, “a phenomenal album that’s well worth the time of extreme metal fans who want to hear a band perpetually push itself.“

The record, which features the artwork by longtime collaborator Wes Benscoter (Vader, Kreator, Bloodbath, Hypocrisy), was produced by Dave Otero (Cephalic Carnage, Allegaeon) and includes Dis Pater of Midnight Odyssey handling piano and synths.

GRIM PROPHECY Unleash New Self-Titled Album with Official Music Video for ‘A Grim Prophecy’

Posted by tarjavirmakari on June 5, 2026

Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: GRIM PROPHECY. Leave a comment

“Grim Prophecy”, the new album by Sardinian thrash/death metal outfit GRIM PROPHECY, is available today on all digital platforms through Volcano Records & Promotion. Accompanying the release is the official music video for ‘A Grim Prophecy’, the track chosen by the band as the manifesto of a work deeply rooted in the darkest corners of the human imagination.

Across nine aggressive and uncompromising tracks of extreme metal, Grim Prophecy unfolds through a narrative journey that intertwines reality and nightmare, dark fantasy visions and reflections on the most disturbing aspects of contemporary society. The lyrics explore themes such as mass manipulation, conspiracies orchestrated by those in power, dark rituals, and the control of the individual, descending into the abyss of madness, murderous instinct, and the self-destructive impulses that dwell within human nature.

Within this framework comes A Grim Prophecy, the single selected to accompany the album’s release. “A cruel destiny, a grim prophecy” stands as the conceptual core of the entire record: a fierce tale exposing what happens behind the scenes of power, where sacrifices, rituals, manipulation, and slavery are used as instruments of control, transforming anger and discomfort into a devastating burst of direct and relentless thrash/death metal. From a musical standpoint, Grim Prophecy forge their identity through an instinctive fusion of technical death metal and high-speed thrash, enriched by a classic heavy metal vein that recalls the legacy of masters such as King Diamond and Black Sabbath while maintaining a modern and distinctive approach. The result is a cohesive and compact album capable of balancing sonic violence, dark atmospheres, and a strong narrative dimension. With Grim Prophecy, the Sardinian band confirms its determination to explore the darkest corners of both the human mind and society, delivering a debut album destined to appeal to old-school thrash and death metal devotees while remaining engaging for listeners seeking more layered and contemporary sounds.
