Finnish groovy alternative metal band Demon Within is set to release their debut album later in 2026. The first single PC Culture is a fast groove metal bombshell with political lyrics. PC culture raises eyebrows even if it is low-brow. Our goal is to anger everyone equally, so whether you are black, white or blue, this is your song.

LISTEN to the single on all essential streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/demon-within-pc-culture 

— Lyrics by Jami Airikka
— Composed by Otso Turunen & Jami Airikka
— Produced, mixed & mastered by Ian Perring
— ISRC-code: FI3FC2594105
— Single cover by Moira Åkerman

Warning: Explicit lyrics!

“PC culture was born at a time when people started to get offended easily and it started to feel like it was easier to stay silent than to say anything. That’s why the song is about fucking with everyone equally, to make the gap between people that was created during this PC movement disappear. We are all the same retarded cunts in this world.”–Jami Airikka, vocals

“The song started out when our singer screamed his frustration for three minutes. I knew that if I could capture that energy with guitar riffs it would blow people’s socks off (or at least make them blow up). I will let the listener decide, to me this is an interesting combination of groove, trash and alternative metal weirdness.” –Otso Turunen, guitar

Line-up:
Jami Airikka – vocals
Otso Turunen – guitar & vocals
Jonathan Åkerman – guitar
Kristo Rautavuori – drums
Olli Kuure – bass

CREMATE Sign with Wormholedeath, New EP “Ready To Fight” Out This November

Wormholedeath Records proudly welcomes CREMATE, the legendary Athens-based death/thrash metal act, to their roster. The band is set to release their much-anticipated EP Ready To Fight on November 7, 2025, marking a fierce return that bridges their cult 1990s roots with a fresh, modern sonic assault.

Formed in 1991 in Alimos, Athens by high school friends Christos (guitar/vocals) and Leonidas (drums), CREMATE quickly carved out a raw and aggressive niche blending death and thrash metal—drawing inspiration from titans like Kreator and Sodom. Their 1993 demo End of Time garnered international acclaim through critical reviews, radio play, and devoted underground support.

Following lineup changes and relentless live shows praised by Metal Hammer and other media, CREMATE released the 7″ EP Enchanting Black Recess in 1995 via Dark Side Records. However, a full-length album never materialized as the band disbanded soon after.

In 2021, founder Christos reignited CREMATE alongside drummer George and longtime collaborator Akis Pastras (Dexter Ward, Damon Systema, Nightfall). Revisiting their seminal demo, Christos re-envisioned the material by infusing dark synthesized atmospheres, samples, and new arrangements that intensify the band’s signature 90s death/thrash fury.

The result is Ready To Fight, a 4-track EP embodying raw energy through a contemporary production lens. It features three reworked classics—“Another Pain Born” reborn as “Human,” “Die as You Lived” enhanced with haunting violin by Lusty Apricot—and the brand-new title track showcasing a blistering solo from Marios Iliopoulos (Nightrage). Recorded and mixed by Akis Pastras and mastered by George Nerantzis (Abbath, Rotting Christ, Gus G.), the EP delivers an uncompromising fusion of vintage aggression and modern dark textures.

Ready To Fight symbolizes CREMATE’s powerful rebirth, honoring their 1993 cult demo while boldly pushing forward. The EP is a must-listen for fans of authentic death/thrash metal with an atmospheric edge—heavy, relentless, and uniquely dynamic.

Tracklist:

  1. Die As You Lived
  2. Human
  3. Cerebral Pain
  4. Ready To Fight

Award-winning rock legends The Calling are set to share the stage with the legendary Dolly Parton for two unforgettable nights in Las Vegas on December 12 & 13th.

The Calling are preparing to release brand new music in 2026!

Formed in 1999, The Calling quickly ascended the ranks of radio rock with their distinctive blend of catchy melodies and heartfelt lyrics. Their debut album Camino Palmero sold more than 10 million copies worldwide and went Platinum in the U.S. and 50+ countries, catapulting the teen rockers to international fame with hits like “Wherever You Will Go” and “Adrienne,” while touting 7 number one singles worldwide.

With a renewed sense of purpose and creativity, the band is set to unveil their long-awaited new music, promising a sonic journey that will resonate deeply with both loyal fans and newcomers alike. Driven by the powerful, distinct vocals of Alex Band and the masterful instrumentation of guitarist Daniel Damico and Grammy-nominated bassist Dom Liberati, The Calling’s comeback is nothing short of extraordinary. Each note and lyric carry the weight of two decades of growth and experience, resulting in a musical tapestry that is both timeless and contemporary.
