IMPERISHABLE to Release Debut Album “Revelation In Purity” on August 29th + Videos for Title Track & ‘Oath of Disgust’ Out Now

Brace for impact as Imperishable, the blistering new project featuring guitarist/vocalist Brian Kingsland (Nile, Enthean), bassist Alex Rush (Olkoth, Enthean), and drum legend Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal, Malevolent Creation) announces the release of their debut album “Revelation In Purity”, out August 29th, 2025 via Everlasting Spew Records.
​
Formed as an outlet for raw, unfiltered aggression outside their legacy bands, Imperishable delivers an unapologetically fierce experience. “Revelation In Purity” is crafted with a sound described in four words: aggressive, dark, evil, and fast. The debut full-length is a relentless display of old-school ethos and modern wrath. Eschewing over-polished production, the album plunges listeners into visceral, analog brutality.

Inspired by death and black metal legends including Morbid Angel, Emperor, Angelcorpse, Zyklon, and Nile, “Revelation In Purity” balances sheer speed and aggression with atmospheric weight and lyrical depth. Though the lyrics lean toward personal strength and confidence, Imperishable welcomes interpretation, mirroring their approach to songwriting as collaborative, ever-evolving, and instinctively intense.

Brian Kingsland (Vocals/Guitar) comments on the album:

“First of all, we’re thrilled to be releasing “Revelation In Purity” on Everlasting Spew Records. They’re a well-respected and renowned underground label that aligns with our musical standards and vision. It’s an honor. This album started with just a few ideas between Alex and me, and has now taken on a life of its own, and we’re damn proud of what we’ve achieved here. It definitely represents where we were at the time. Musically and otherwise. The pandemic, the birth of my son, the loss of immediate family, etc, it’s all in there. It’s an honest record that is a bit more raw and recorded old-school. There’s no quantizing or samples on the drums. Minimal edits across the board. We wanted it to sound good, but not over-polished. A lot of that is in capturing the performance. So, you might not hear every note perfectly, but the conviction is there, and that’s what matters. If this is your thing, you’ll love it. It’s a kick in the teeth.”

Fans can expect more music in the future, but for now, this debut is a definitive statement. “Revelation In Purity” is not just an album, it’s an experience. Raw. Real. Revelatory.

Take a listen to the album’s currently released two singles: the album’s opener, “Oath of Disgust,” and the title track.

Finnish melodic death/doom metal band Serpent God is set to release their debut album ‘Denial’ on October 10th 2025 via Inverse Records.

The third single ‘sermon’ is released today and it’s available on most streaming services: https://push.fm/fl/serpent-god-sermon 

  • Music, lyrics, mixed and mastered by Samu Männikkö
  • Arrangements by Serpent God
  • ISRC: FI3FC2592306
  • Single cover by Heidi Hyvärinen

The band comments:
”Sermon on blood, sermon on death”

“The song is up-beat and has a bit of threatening and eerie feeling to it. Lots of classic 90’s Swedish metal elements as building blocks. Starts with heavy double kicks and heavy riffing, no questions asked. Backing choirs create ritualistic or religious wibes to the song. Life is a one long and painful ritual after all. “Like an iron mask forged in brimstone, finished in the flames of hellfire.”

Denial Track list:

  1. denial
  2. beneath
  3. repent
  4. revelation
  5. alive
  6. sermon
  7. oblivion
  8. keyhole
  9. void

Serpent God is a band formed 2023 in Iisalmi, Finland. The birth is heavily related to Se, josta ei puhuta -band’s writing process; lots of material were created that didn’t fit in the spectrum of Se, josta ei puhuta. In general, the material was more slow-paced and more eerie. However, the mentioned material was also way too good to be deleted, so therefore another output was needed, so Serpent God was born. Different branches grow from a tree with strong roots. Serpent God has its foundation in extreme metal, but there are also heavy influences from post-rock, doom and smaller splashes of more avantgarde sounds. 

Line-up:
Samu Männikkö – Vocals, guitars and keyboards
Juho-Pekka Lappalainen – Bass
Jimi Myöhänen – Drums

INNERWISH return with ‘The Enemy Inside,’ a spine-tingling ride through the shadowy world of espionage, laced with thunderous riffs and an irresistible groove that will burrow deep into your brain. With lyrics inspired by the moral complexities of spy life – most notably portrayed in Steven Spielberg’s “Munich” – the new single fuses classic heavy metal power with cinematic storytelling and an unmistakable nod to metal giants ACCEPT.

Listen to ‘The Enemy Inside’: https://innerwish.rpm.link/enemyPR

“Well, we love ACCEPT,” states the band. “And songs like this one show our love for their characteristic straightforward riffing. Almost in every album of ours, we have a song of that type. Never the same, yet the influence and inspiration is there. What can we do? We love that groovy metal! The lyrics are actually inspired by the movie “Munich” and the life of spies, plus the continuing moral dilemmas occurring through their decisions and acts.”

Now, with ‘The Enemy Inside,’ INNERWISH bring fans a single that bridges the gap between classic and contemporary, blending old-school grooves with a modern edge.

‘The Enemy Inside’ continues the momentum generated by INNERWISH’s critically acclaimed 2024 album “Ash Of Eternal Flame” – an album hailed for its emotional depth, relentless energy, and the band’s signature blend of melody and metal might.

SCORCHING TOMB Sign with Time To Kill Records for Release of Debut Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 24, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: SCORCHING TOMB. Leave a comment

Canada’s SCORCHING TOMB has officially signed to Time To Kill Records for the release of their long-awaited debut album.

After sharpening their blades through a series of well-received EPs and a crushing split, the band is now ready to make a bold statement on a larger scale. Their sound is a feral fusion of raw death metal and metallic hardcore, with zero tolerance for the plastic, overproduced gloss often associated with modern deathcore. Instead, SCORCHING TOMB keeps both feet firmly planted in the filth and fury of old-school death metal and the uncompromising aggression of hardcore at its most hostile. The result is a punishing assault that’s sure to resonate with fans of Skinless, Fulci, Xibalba and Terminal Nation.

More details on the album will be revealed soon.

SCORCHING TOMB emerged from the sewers of Montreal in 2018 with one clear mission: to fuse old-school death metal with modern hardcore in a city ruled by technical death metal. It didn’t take long for the band to make a name for themselves in the underground. Their blend of blistering old-school riffs, crushing mosh parts, and explosive live energy quickly caught the attention of the hardcore scene in particular.

Originally formed by tattoo artist Vincent P.L. (vocals) and guitarist Philippe Leblanc, SCORCHING TOMB has since solidified its most formidable lineup yet with the addition of Miguel Lepage (ex–Blind Witness, ex–Obey the Brave) on bass and Émile Savard (Profane Order, ex–Malebranche) on drums. With this new blood, the band has evolved from a local standout into a fully weaponized force.

Now, the time has come to follow in the footsteps of Cryptopsy, Quo Vadis, and Despised Icon, proving once again that Montreal remains a relentless, unyielding powerhouse in the world of death metal.

Line-up:

Vincent Patrick Lajeunesse – Vocals
Philippe Leblanc :- Guitars, Backing vocals
Miguel Lepage – Bass
Émile Savard – Drums

NAILED TO OBSCURITY Release Video for Title Track ‘Generation Of the Void’ of Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 24, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: NAILED TO OBSCURITY. Leave a comment

NAILED TO OBSCURITY have released a video for the stunning title track of their upcoming fifth studio album, Generation Of The Void, which will be out on September 5th, 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. The song ‘Generation Of The Void‘ features an epic chorus unlike anything in the band’s previous works and it underlines the versatility of the new record along side a potent message about our connection and interaction with each other.

NAILED TO OBSCURITY commented:
“‘Generation Of The Void’ is a mirror held up to a world that feels increasingly disconnected. We tried to capture the overwhelming sense of unease that defines our time, but also the inner battles we all face. It’s a song that grew out of chaos, but from a desire to understand and endure.“

With Generation Of The Void, NAILED TO OBSCURITY have crafted their most mature and expansive album to date. The album reflects the turmoil of the post-pandemic era, the shadows of war in Europe, and the relentless changes affecting all of humanity. Beyond its political and social commentary, the album also dives deep into personal struggles, confronting themes of dark emotions, depression, and fear. Every note, every lyric carries the weight of uncertainty and disillusionment, while no one knows what one will find within the void or beyond.

MÉLANCOLIA Share Third Single ‘Picking Scabs’ from Upcoming Album

Posted by tarjavirmakari on July 24, 2025
Posted in: Int. News, News. Tagged: MÉLANCOLIA. Leave a comment

Melbourne blackened nu-metal force MÉLANCOLIA today reveal their new single ‘Picking Scabs‘, the latest taste of their anticipated sophomore album, ‘random.access.misery’, set for release Friday 29th August via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records.

Arriving hot off the back of a 17-date national tour supporting THY ART IS MURDER, ‘Picking Scabs‘ sees MÉLANCOLIA dive deeper into the world of nu-metal while continuing to blur the edges of metalcore and deathcore. With nods to SLIPKNOT, DJ scratches, ethereal vocal layers, and $UICIDEBOY$-inspired samples, this track stands as their most daring yet. Watch the video here.

‘Picking Scabs‘ follows recent singles ‘ALL_IS_RUST‘ and ‘SPIT!‘, featuring Chris Mackertich of DREGG, both of which signalled an evolution in the band’s sound, introducing new vocal textures and their first-ever guest collaboration. Their new music adds another layer to the dark atmosphere MÉLANCOLIA are becoming known for and were written to be played live, specifically to cater for sing alongs, mosh pits and stage dives.

‘Picking Scabs‘ is streaming everywhere now. random.access.misery will be out everywhere via Nuclear Blast and Greyscale Records on Friday August 29. Pre-order/pre-save ‘random.access.misery‘: https://geni.us/random-access-misery

Stream ‘Picking Scabs‘: https://melancolia.bfan.link/picking-scabs

Picked as one of four “brilliant new metal bands you need to hear” by Metal Hammer in April, the band are primed and ready and unleash their defining new album this August; “We are bringing a fresh sound to an otherwise stale scene, you will not hear what we are doing from anyone else. We are setting the trend as we set the bar for modern heavy music. Love us or hate us, you will fucking remember us.”

Momentum is at an all time high for the band, having toured Australia three times over off the back of HissThroughRottenTeeth‘ and breaking into Europe and the UK twice on tours with SUFFOCATION (US) and INGESTED (UK). The band will join THY ART IS MURDER on a regional lap of Australia this June and July and will debut some of their new music for the very first time.
