  • AN NCS PREMIERE: BLACK CILICE — “INTO THE INNER TEMPLE”

    (written by Islander) In contemplating the discography of the Portuguese black metal band Black Cilice, the word “prolific” leaps to mind. Beginning with their first five(!) demos released in 2009, they’ve released something almost ever year — more demos, many splits, a trio of EPs, and six albums. Now there’s a seventh album on the […]

  • Turnstile Co-Founder Brady Ebert Arrested On Attempted Murder Charge As Details Begin To Surface

    What Led To Brady Ebert’s Arrest And What Do We Actually Know So Far?

    Brady Ebert was arrested March 31 in Maryland and charged with attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault following an alleged March 29 incident, with limited details currently released.

    TL;DR

    • Brady Ebert arrested March 31 in Montgomery County, Maryland
    • Facing attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault charges
    • Alleged incident occurred March 29; warrant issued March 30
    • Initial court appearance took place April 1
    • Ebert has not been part of Turnstile since 2022

    This Story Just Took A Serious Turn — And It’s Bigger Than Music

    You don’t usually see a name tied to one of modern hardcore’s biggest success stories suddenly show up in a case like this.

    As initially reported by Lambgoat, Brady Ebert — a founding member of Turnstile — has been arrested in Montgomery County, Maryland on charges of attempted second-degree murder and first-degree assault, according to law enforcement records and reporting from Lambgoat.

    That alone is enough to stop people mid-scroll. But what’s making this escalate quickly is how little has actually been confirmed beyond the charges themselves.

    The alleged incident is said to have occurred March 29. A warrant followed the next day. By March 31, he was in custody.

    Right now, the gap between confirmed facts and missing context is exactly what’s driving this story forward.

    The Timing Of This Is What Makes It Hard To Ignore

    This didn’t land in a vacuum.

    Ebert’s name had already resurfaced recently after a public fallout involving his most recent project, The S.E.T. (The Self Evident Truth). That situation alone had people revisiting his history with Turnstile.

    Now, with criminal charges involved, the conversation shifts from internal band drama to something far more serious — and far less predictable.

    That shift is why this story isn’t fading quietly.

    The Turnstile Era Still Defines His Public Identity

    Even after leaving Turnstile in 2022, Ebert remains closely tied to the band’s rise.

    He co-founded the group in 2010 alongside Brendan Yates, Franz Lyons, Daniel Fang, and Sean Cullen — helping shape the band’s early identity and sound.

    His guitar work is present across three key records:

    • Nonstop Feeling (2015)
    • Time & Space (2018)
    • Glow On (2021)

    That last album didn’t just expand Turnstile’s reach — it pulled hardcore into a much wider cultural spotlight.

    Which is exactly why his name still carries weight in headlines like this.

    The Quiet Split In 2022 Raises New Questions Today

    At the time, Turnstile’s statement about parting ways with Ebert was calm and minimal.

    No details. No public tension. Just a brief message expressing appreciation and wishing him well.

    In hindsight, that kind of silence stands out more than any dramatic split would have.

    There’s still no confirmed connection between that departure and what’s happening now — but people are clearly re-examining that moment differently.

    The S.E.T. Fallout Added Pressure Before This Broke

    Earlier this year, Ebert was removed from The S.E.T. after posting accusations about his former bandmates.

    Those claims included:

    • Allegations of political positioning
    • Financial disputes tied to his time in Turnstile
    • Statements suggesting legal action involving a restraining order

    The band responded publicly, distancing themselves and ending his involvement.

    That alone had already reignited interest around him.

    This arrest takes that attention and pushes it into an entirely different category.

    What We Still Don’t Know Is Driving The Story

    At this stage, the biggest unanswered question is simple:

    What actually happened on March 29?

    There are no confirmed details about the nature of the incident, any victims involved, or the circumstances leading to the charges.

    Ebert made his initial court appearance April 1, with further proceedings expected.

    Until more information is released, this story sits in a volatile space — where speculation grows faster than verified facts.

    And that’s usually when narratives start forming that are hard to undo later.

    Even without involvement, Turnstile becomes part of this conversation again.

    That’s the reality when a founding member is tied to something this serious.

    The band’s trajectory over the past few years — especially post-Glow On — has been upward in a way most hardcore bands never reach.

    This situation doesn’t erase that.

    But it does complicate how that era gets remembered, especially for newer fans discovering the band now.

  • RETURN TO DARKNESS IGNITES PRAISE WITH “ETERNAL” – ACCLAIMED BY METAL TEMPLE (8/10) – @thebeast

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    RETURN TO DARKNESS IGNITES PRAISE WITH “ETERNAL” – ACCLAIMED BY METAL TEMPLE (8/10)
    Streaming everywhere: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/returntodarkness/eternal
    CD/Digital: https://tribunalrecords.bandcamp.com/album/eternal
    The flames of thrash metal are roaring, and Return to Darkness is right in the middle of the inferno. Their full-length album “Eternal” is not just making noise, it’s earning serious respect across the underground, landing a crushing 8/10 review from Metal Temple and turning heads among diehard metal fans worldwide.
    From the moment opening track “Eternal Chain” hits, Metal Temple describes the experience as immediate and undeniable: “my ears are extra alert… my pleasure meter goes to maximum.” The review praises the band’s ability to craft riffs worthy of the genre’s greats, blending classic influences with a sharp, modern execution that feels both familiar and fresh.
    The momentum doesn’t let up. Tracks like “Pain” and “I Remember” showcase a band firing on all cylinders, delivering structured, well-thought-out thrash that balances aggression with melody and precision. Metal Temple highlights the band’s ability to channel the spirit of the classics without falling into imitation, calling the album “bloody good stuff” and emphasizing that Return to Darkness stands on its own identity.
    Hailing from Rockland County, New York, the band’s story is just as powerful as the music. Originally formed in 1990 as Out of Darkness , the members stepped away after years of frustration, only to return decades later with unfinished business. Re-emerging in 2022 as Return to Darkness , they brought with them experience, hunger, and a renewed sense of purpose that defines every second of “Eternal.”
    The album’s growing impact has not gone unnoticed. Following its independent release, Tribunal Records and Divebomb Records joined forces to bring “Eternal” to a global audience, ensuring this long-awaited thrash assault gets the attention it deserves.
    Produced and engineered by guitarist Jon “J Rod” Ciorciari and mastered by Jamie King, “Eternal” is a testament to perseverance, passion, and the timeless power of heavy music done right.
    If you’re a fan of razor-sharp riffs, commanding vocals, and thrash that actually means something, “Eternal” isn’t just worth your time, it’s required listening.
    Return to Darkness proves one thing loud and clear: real thrash doesn’t fade away… it comes back stronger.
