U.S. extreme metal juggernaut Mass Punishment has unleashed the official music video for their track “Enemy Within”, taken from their acclaimed album Proving Grounds Devastation, out now via Wormholedeath Records.

Stream the single: https://orcd.co/enemywithinre – Premiered exclusively by NO CLEAN SINGING

Filmed on a raw, guerrilla-style budget and directed by Marc Petrick, Enemy Within marks the band’s first professionally shot music video. With makeup by Morgan Milos and additional acting talent, the video follows frontman Maverick through an increasingly volatile day, from receiving eviction notices to engaging in street scuffles with extremist protesters. Pushed beyond the edge, he snaps — unleashing brutal revenge in a climactic return to the bar. The final minute reveals a furious, stripped-down band performance, sealing the track’s emotional and sonic devastation.

Formed by guitarist Christopher Milos after returning from combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom, Mass Punishment channels real-life intensity into their unrelenting sound. The band — completed by vocalist Erick, drummer Brian Donat, and bassist Kyle Yannon — blends military precision with underground ferocity.

With influences spanning Pantera, Slayer, Megadeth, Slipknot, and beyond, Mass Punishment is a sonic assault rooted in unity, resistance, and survival. The band name itself — taken from military jargon — underscores their philosophy: “If one of us fails, we all fail.”

They’ve previously shared the stage with GWAR, Emmure, Agnostic Front, and more — earning their place among the next wave of heavy music’s uncompromising voices.

Extreme Management Group (EMG), home to bands like Suffocation, Atheist, Misery Index, and more, has announced their partnership with Metal Band MASS PUNISHMENT.

Mass Punishment is a 4 piece Metalcore/Extreme Metal band based out of New Jersey music designed to inform as well as hit as hard as the facts and events the songs are written about. Current events on a social, political, environmental, economic scale. Of government corruption and depopulation with a population facing death by design and dark hidden agendas.

Mass Punishment is:

• Erick “Maverick” Laurino (Vocals)
• Chris “Axe” Milos (Guitars)
• Ed “Arc Angel” Angel (Bass)

Mass Punishment was established after Chris “Axe” Milos returned to the United States from serving in the Army and fighting on the front lines in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Chris, having played guitar since childhood, had started writing the riffs and lyrics that would soon become the foundation of songs for Mass Punishment to build upon. Erick “Maverick” Laurino and Chris had linked up having knowledge of each other sharing the same goal in mind of creating a metal band that no one had ever heard or seen before. Erick’s strength and integrity is pounded out fiercely and clearly commanding the attention of the listening audience without compromise. Chris and Erick then sought the talent of a bassist. Ed “Arc” Angel joined the camp as the ranking  bass virtuoso. This is an honor for both Ed and the band as a perfect combination of power and precision. Erick & Chris fused with Ed’s ability to perform bass harmonies and lead bass compositions blaze through sonically in the earth shaking sound of Mass Punishment. This would complete the lineup of the band and Mass Punishment would become the focus of the members.

Chris credits James Hetfield of Metallica and Dave Mustaine of Megadeth for the desire to learn to play guitar from childhood. He enjoys listening to Extermination Dismemberment, Behemoth, Thy Art Is Murder, Megadeth and Slayer. Erick’s inspiration to be a vocalist came from Phil Anselmo of Pantera and Burton C Bell of Fear Factory. Some of his current favorites are Machine Head, Beneath The Massacre and Meshuggah. Ed embraces Geezer Butler, D.D. Verni & Pat Bruder as his 3 favorite bass players.  Some current favorites include Hemorrhage, Upon A Burning Body & There Is No Us. He also is influenced by Legends such as Slayer, Megadeth & Fear Factory.

We grew up on the best metal bands of our time. The metal bands that had gone against the grain and fought the norm of society. Those who’ve paved the way and put metal on the map that wouldn’t allow heavy metal to be swept under the carpet. Our music has influence from many bands  such as but not limited to Pantera, Slayer, Fear Factory, Megadeth, Anthrax, Iron Maiden, Korn, Emmure, Slipknot, and Soulfly.

The Name:

Mass Punishment – The form of retaliation whereby a punished group may often have no direct association with the other individuals or groups, or direct control over their actions. Those who Suffer For The Actions Of Another. Christopher had taken the name for a common term used in the military. Christopher says “If one of us fails, we all fail. If one of us is to be punished, we all get punished”.  

Lyrically and musically our songs are of current events, civilization, our societies around the world being divided, conquered and destroyed. The need to unite people and find peace through understanding and compromise or the absolute destruction of us all.

New Music:

“God Less America” This single was recorded at The Bomb Shelter Recording Studio in Jackson  NJ under Producer George Ponds and was released on July 6, 2023. Mixed and Mastered by Charlie Berezansky this song also features Mike Gurnari of MADBALL. The song was inspired by the nightmare of chaos and division that has stricken the US to the core. From the events of September 11, 2001 and the wars that followed to the lockdowns, protests and riots along economic collapse and poor leadership to the top of a corrupt government that has brought us to the brink of civil war.

“Worldwide Genocide” Recorded at The Bomb Shelter Recording Studio with Producer George Pond. Mixed and Mastered by Charlie Berezansky this single is about the world descending into darkness and population control being enforced by entities both elected by the people and those unelected elite. The end of society as we know it. Released December 11, 2023.

“Breaking Point” Recorded at The Bomb Shelter Recording Studio in Jackson, NJ under Producer George Pond. Mixed and Mastered by Producer Eric Rachel at The Dungeon undisclosed in NJ. This single addresses a scene of an unnamed citizen fighting against multiple policemen in a fierce hand to hand confrontation. Who will remain standing, the citizen or the police? Inspired by the mainstream media’s narrative of the rising number of police officers over use of force on the population.  

Mass Punishment released the 1st Full Length album Proving Grounds Devastation on October 11th 2024 available on WormHoleDeath Records. Utilizing recording studios both Bullet Proof Studios in Hazlet NJ and The Bomb Shelter Recording Studio in Jackson NJ under the direction of Producers Eric Rachel and George Pond (bassist of Swim The Current) in efforts to finish the long awaited debut album. The first studio album released by the newly signing international label WormHoleDeath Records. With mixing done by both Eric & George but Mastered by Eric Rachel. The album consists of 17 original tracks. Two of the tracks, Desert Rogue and Infantryman’s Creed, feature Mike Romeo of Symphony X orchestrating a four string quartet. The song “God Less America” is kissed with a soaring solo by NYC’s hardcore band MADBALL guitarist Mike Gunari. Multiple tracks feature George Pond (Swim The Current & Disciples of Verity) lending his talent and technique of the bass as well.  

The 66.69 minute long album encapsulates Christopher Milos’s time in the US Army Infantry and combat operations during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The album ends with the last 4 tracks focusing on what a Soldier is faced with returning home from war and trying to fit back into a society that has disenfranchised him.

Now in 2025, Mass Punishment has signed with Extreme Management Group and says, “we are proud to be punishing everyone worldwide with emg management 2025, cheers!”

Extreme metal force MASS PUNISHMENT unleashes their powerful new single, “Blood Dirt,” today via Wormholedeath. The track serves as a scathing indictment of the Iraq War, raising questions about its true purpose and the devastating consequences.

Blood Dirt was recorded at Trax East and Bullet Proof Studios in NJ by Producer Eric Rachel. George Pond guided additional post-production work at The Bomb Shelter Studio.

The band stated: “This song touches on the wars in the Middle East. More poignantly about Operation Iraqi Freedom and hidden agendas in the underlying reasons for committing the USA to that particular war in the region. A country in peril with the US invading with military might not seen since WWII. Death and destruction lay in the dust trails as the US and coalition forces pushed further into Iraq. “Blood turns the sand to soil”. Was it for Liberating a people from a tyrannical regime? Was it for a taste of revenge from political leaders? Or was it for oil? Listen to the song and make your own determination.”
