FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Casket Kids Unleash “Through Death,” A Blood Soaked Blend Of Metal, Hardcore, And Punk From Upcoming Album Black Miasma
Huntsville, AL – April 24, 2026 – Huntsville’s own underground horror merchants The Casket Kids return with a brand new slab of chaos titled “Through Death,” the second single from their highly anticipated upcoming album Black Miasma.
This time around, the band digs even deeper into the dark side of myth and consequence, delivering a track that warns of the horrors of necromancy, the price of forbidden rites, and what happens when the dead do not stay quiet.
“Through Death” is a fierce fusion of metal, hardcore, and punk energy, built for fans who like their music raw, loud, and a little dangerous. It is the kind of track that does not just play in your speakers, it crawls around in your head after.
“Through Death, They Live!”

That is the band’s own chilling declaration behind the single, and it sets the tone perfectly for what The Casket Kids are building with Black Miasma .
The band continues to sharpen their identity with a sound that pulls from old-school rebellion and horror soaked theatrics, carving out a lane that feels both familiar and twisted in all the right ways.
FFO: The Misfits , Ramones , Black Flag , Pentagram
ABOUT THE BAND

The Casket Kids are:
Christian Youngblood on vocals
Paul “Tokin” Dupont on guitar
Johnny “Decay” Perna on bass
Brennan “Pepper” Persing on drums
Born out of the Huntsville underground, the band has already carved a reputation for blending horror imagery with punk attitude and heavy hitting metal aggression. Their debut album SHI opened the door. Black Miasma looks like the one kicking it off the hinges.
Produced with the same raw intensity that defines their sound, The Casket Kids continue pushing forward without cleaning anything up for comfort. This is grit, distortion, and storytelling with teeth.

“Through Death” is available now on all major streaming platforms

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FALSE MESSIAH RETURNS WITH CINEMATIC NEW SINGLE “SHADOWS OF FAITH”
False Messiah keeps building their dark symphonic world with the release of “Shadows of Faith” , arriving April 22nd, 2026!
False Messiah is a cinematic symphonic dark metal collective known for fusing orchestral drama with modern heavy production and dystopian storytelling. This new single continues the unfolding narrative from previous releases like Iron Sky and Rise of the Seven , all leading toward the upcoming full-length album Seven , due June 19 via Semetery Records.
“Shadows of Faith” digs deeper into the psychological fallout of collapse and betrayal. As belief systems fracture and symbols lose their weight, the track turns inward, exploring how conviction survives when everything familiar falls apart. It is heavy, atmospheric, and emotionally charged, carrying that signature cinematic weight the band has been carving out since day one.
Think sweeping orchestration colliding with modern metal aggression, wrapped in a story that feels both mythic and uncomfortably human.
FOR FANS OF: Nightwish, Within Temptation, Amaranthe, Arch Enemy, Lord of the Lost, Epica, In This Moment
GENRES: Cinematic Metal, Symphonic Metal, Dark Metal, Gothic Thrash, Heavy Metal, Emo Nu Metal
This is not just another release. It is another fracture in the system.

Connecticut crushers 100 Demons have a well-earned rep for being one of history’s heaviest hardcore bands. They come from the same late-’90s scene as Hatebreed, and guitarist Sean Martin has done significant time in both bands. 100 Demons only released two albums, 2000’s Eyes Of The Lord and their 2004 self-titled joint, before going inactive.…
