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.

1. Of Vengeful Intransigence 2. Emanations of Impure Deities 3. Eternal Scars and Imperative Backfires

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)

After a three-year hiatus, Swedish alternative rock outfit Port Noir make a powerful return with their brand-new single “Redshift”, released today via InsideOutMusic. This marks the band’s first new music since 2022 and their official comeback to the progressive label InsideOutMusic.
Progressive music titans Dream Theater are releasing a new live release on November 28th via their longtime label partner Inside Out Music/Sony Music. Quarantième: Live à Paris documents the iconic lineup of James LaBrie [vocals], John Petrucci [guitar], John Myung [bass], Jordan Rudess [keyboards] and Mike Portnoy’s [drums] sold-out show from Paris, France on their 40th Anniversary headline tour of Europe.

MEGADETH have revealed the full track listing for their self-titled final album that’s due out January 23, 2026. Pre-order the album, via DAVE MUSTAINE’s Tradecraft imprint in partnership with Frontiers Label Group’s new BLKIIBLK label, HERE. The album includes “Tipping Point,” the previously released first single, and a very special bonus track: a reimagined version of “Ride The Lightning,” which MUSTAINE co-wrote with Metallica’s James Hetfield, Cliff Burton, and Lars Ulrich and was the title track from the group’s 1984 album.
“As I come full circle on the career of a lifetime, the decision to include ‘Ride The Lightning,’ a song I co-wrote with James, Lars, and Cliff, was to pay my respects to where my career first started,” MUSTAINE says.
The album’s full track listing is as follows:
Tipping Point I Don’t Care Hey, God?! Let There Be Shred Puppet Parade Another Bad Day Made To Kill Obey The Call I Am War The Last Note Ride The Lightning (Bonus Track)
MEGADETH—Mustaine, Teemu Mäntysaari (Lead, Rhythm, and Acoustic Guitars), James LoMenzo (Bass Guitar) and Dirk Verbeuren (Drums)—released the album’s first single and video for “Tipping Point” in early October. The sonically explosive and lyrically unflinching song launches with a thunderous guitar solo before DAVE’s iconic voice hauntingly kicks in. In the desolate but hopeful accompanying video, directed by Leonardo Liberti, DAVE is locked up in a prison being tortured in extreme fashion, while the band performs in the same lock-up. In the end DAVE perseveres evil and walks away into a new day. Watch the video HERE and listen to the song HERE.
Earlier this year, MUSTAINE revealed in a social post directly shared with his worldwide fanbase and Cyber Army that the forthcoming album will mark the final studio album from MEGADETH, who’ve sold over 50 million records worldwide and received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations). He shared the announcement of the album and tour via his alter ego Vic Rattlehead.
Fans can click HERE to register for early access to exclusive information and offers surrounding the album and all MEGADETH news. In addition, look for the initial run of farewell tour dates to be announced later this year. Also set for next year is a new memoir from MUSTAINE, details of which will be revealed in the coming months.
About Megadeth MEGADETH are always and forever the point of no return for metal. It would be nearly impossible to conceive where heavy music and culture would’ve gone without the band founded, fronted, and fueled by vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, and producer Dave Mustaine. The blast radius of their impact has only magnified since 1983. Thus far, they have sold 50 million records worldwide, received a GRAMMY® Award (with 12 additional nominations), generated billions of streams, notched seven Top 10 entries on the Billboard 200, and enthralled millions of diehard fans in arenas and stadiums across the globe. Their catalog spans indisputable classics such as the platinum Peace Sells… But Who’s Buying? (cited at #8 on Rolling Stone’s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time”), the platinum Rust In Peace, and double-platinum Countdown To Extinction, which captured #2 on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Dystopia notched a Top 3 debut and earned a GRAMMY® Award in the category of “Best Metal Performance” with its title track. They only upped the ferocity with The Sick, The Dying… And The Dead! in 2022. It saw them return to #3, receive a “Best Metal Performance” GRAMMY® Award nomination for “We’ll Be Back,” and incite rave reviews. Their influence can be felt practically everywhere—whether it be Post Malone proudly sporting a tattoo of “So Far, So Good… So What!,” Homer Simpson’s iPod displaying their moniker during an episode, or Showtime’s smash hit series Billions and Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey utilizing MEGADETH in plot points. The band have delivered simultaneously relevant and timeless records in five decades now, setting the pace for the thrash renaissance of the eighties, tearing through the MTV years of the nineties with swagger and style, maintaining their stride in the post-Y2K 2000s, elevating to canonical heights in the social media and streaming era of the 2010s, and unassumingly harnessing the uncertainty and unease of the Post-Pandemic world into their boldest, biggest, and best work yet.
Along the way, MEGADETH extended their influence even further. During 2016, the band entered the spirits world with their very first signature beer À Tout Le Monde followed by Saison 13 in 2019. The brand asserted itself as a player in the beverage space and impressively moved over 15 million pints. Joining forces with Keystone in 2025, they ignite the next phase of Megadeth Beer on the biggest global platform yet.
Beyond his role as a music icon, Dave founded the visionary wine brand HOUSE OF MUSTAINE which uniquely blends music, culture, and fine winemaking. The brand launched with the 2013 Symphony Interrupted Cabernet Sauvignon which was inspired by Dave Mustaine’s groundbreaking collaboration with the San Diego Symphony.
From the dusty heart of Southern Italy, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION return with their new single “Everybody Ought to Love Jesus”, now premiering exclusively on Doomed & Stoned.
The track delves deep into the band’s signature “delta stoner” sound, where the ancestral call of Delta blues collides with the heavy, hypnotic pulse of stoner rock. Reinterpreting the spiritual tradition through distortion, groove, and raw intensity, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION turn sacred lament into a howl of rebellion and redemption.
Formed in 2015, the band began their journey with the self-produced EP “Vol.1,” recorded and mixed by Bari-based sound engineer Andrea Dinapoli. After years of intense live activity — performing at Waves of Doom Fest, Freak Out Stoned Fest, Zolla Fest, Promontorio Music Fest, Rock in Lama, and sharing the stage with notable national and international acts — the band is now ready to present their first full-length album.
Their new record, “Traditional Songs About Life, Death and Rebirth,” will be released on November 21, 2025 via Zann’s Records. Comprising eight tracks, the album pays homage to both early 20th-century blues and the gritty, lysergic stoner rock of the 1990s, reinterpreting the verses and sounds of the past through a modern, raw and punk-driven lens.
Recorded and mixed at REH Studio within MAT Laboratorio Urbano in Terlizzi (BA) by Dario Tatoli, and mastered by Claudio Gruer (Nick Oliveri, Yawning Man, Brant Bjork) at Pisi Studio in Rome, the album marks a major step forward for the band, solidifying a sound that is both personal and immediately recognizable.
With this record, THE APULIAN BLUES FOUNDATION confirm their place as one of the most original and genuine acts in Italy’s contemporary rock scene — delivering a sound that feels both ancient and modern, dusty and visionary.
