ARJEN ANTHONY LUCASSEN offers the soundtrack to humanity’s final days with the apocalyptic solo album Songs No One Will Hear, due on September 12th, 2025 on InsideOutMusic.

The new single from Costa Rican death metal horde MORTUAL, “Skeletal Vortex”, is now streaming in exclusive premiere via Mystification Zine. This is the second offering from the band’s debut album “Altar of Brutality”, out July 4th, 2025 on LP, CD and MC via Nuclear Winter Records.

A frenzied descent into death metal’s most malevolent depths, “Skeletal Vortex” expands on the savage groundwork laid by the album’s first single, delivering a whirlwind of blistering riffs, demonic vocals and relentless percussion. Reaffirming their unholy devotion to the old ways, MORTUAL offer no compromise, only absolute spiritual violence and riff-driven annihilation.

Stream “Skeletal Vortex” HERE.

Spawned in the black rain and pestilent winds of San José, “Altar of Brutality” is a declaration of total spiritual negation: eight impure hymns steeped in decay, fanatic violence and the iconoclastic hunger to desecrate all that is sacred. Carrying forward the cursed legacy of their previous EP “Evil Incarnation”, MORTUAL now reach deeper into the void, channeling a darker, more oppressive sound, dripping with heretical intent and sharpened through years of relentless underground devotion.

This is not a reinvention, but a declaration, a brutal affirmation of death metal’s primal force. With “Altar of Brutality”, MORTUAL summon a vision of spiritual ruin and corporeal decay, wrapped in chains of riffs, blasts and unwavering intensity.

For fans of: Deicide, Mortem, Sadistic Intent, early Monstrosity

Tracklist:

01. Mortuary Rites
02. Necromancy Ritual
03. Divine Monstrosity
04. Dominion of Eternal Blasphemy

Steeped in the magic and mystery of an artist’s life in the Hollywood movie machinery, vintage-futurism storyteller Kelly Deco moves through space and time with imaginary twists on figures we sometimes see in the sky and know in our hearts. The album Constellation was produced by legendary and Grammy award winning music producer Val Garay (Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Kim Carnes, etc.) and released through Deko Entertainment. The album had eleven brand new songs with standout tracks “Automat Girl”, “David Bowie’s Brain”, and “Creature Dreams”. The album also boasts one of the last original artworks by famed artist Ioannis (Deep Purple, Alan Parson, Styx, etc…)

Now Kelly Deco is releasing a brand-new lyric video for “Automat Girl” from Constellation and had this to say about it, “Automat Girl, inspired by the 1920’s Edward Hopper painting, is a slice of Vintage-Futurism set in a not so distant future world.” So, sit back and enjoy the ride on another one of Kelly’s futuristic storytelling journeys.

“Songs with a mix of old 70s rock and futuristic spins on Bowie, Meatloaf, Anthony Newley, and Love. And upon listening to such standout tracks as ‘Destination Fascination,’ ‘Automat Girl,’ ‘Waiting for the Girl, and ‘Creature Dream,’ this goal was impressively obtained.” – Greg Prato – BraveWords
