Southern California (Occupied Tongva & Chumash Territories) – NORCVLT returns from the shadowed edge of the underground with a new single, “Antlers Of The New Dawn,” set for release on April 25, 2026 via Red Nebula .
Emerging as a solitary force in modern black metal, NORCVLT is the vision of Tñuu Dau, an Indigenous artist forging a raw and atmospheric sound rooted in identity, spirituality, and resistance. The project name stands for Native Of Rain Cvlt , reflecting both cultural lineage and the storm-laden sonic world the music inhabits.
“Antlers Of The New Dawn” marks the first official glimpse into NORCVLT’s forthcoming second full length album. The track continues the project’s signature blend of cold atmospheric black metal, immersive ambience, and emotionally charged intensity shaped by ancestral perspective and lived experience.

Sound and Influences

NORCVLT moves in the same atmospheric and expressive territory as artists such as Uada, Yaotl Mictlan, Grima, and Agalloch , while maintaining a distinct voice grounded in Indigenous narrative and personal vision. The result is a sound that feels both ancient and forward-moving, like a ritual echo carried through modern distortion.

ETERNAL RETURNS RELEASE NEW OFFICIAL VIDEO FOR “SALVER THE FRAY” — OUT NOW
Extreme Metal Powerhouse Continues Assault From Latest Album Let There Be Sin
India’s extreme metal juggernaut Eternal Returns has unleashed their newest official music video, “Salver the Fray,” now streaming worldwide. The track comes from their latest full-length album Let There Be Sin , released via Brutal Records USA.
Following the impact of the album’s release, “Salver the Fray” arrives as another visually intense statement from the band, pushing their blend of melodic death metal precision and metalcore aggression into a darker, more cinematic space. The video captures the band’s trademark energy with a raw, unfiltered delivery that matches the emotional weight and sonic brutality of the track.
Eternal Returns continues to expand their presence within the global extreme metal scene, building on a foundation of relentless songwriting, technical execution, and emotionally charged heaviness. With each release, the band reinforces their reputation for balancing melody and devastation without compromise.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by Shankul Chavan of Pitchfork Studios (Nashik, India), who also performs guitar duties for the band, the sound remains sharp, punishing, and meticulously controlled while still feeling chaotic where it matters most.
For fans of Thy Art Is Murder, At the Gates, Whitechapel, and Parkway Drive, “Salver the Fray” delivers another hit of modern extreme metal done right, focused, heavy, and built to leave a mark.
ABOUT ETERNAL RETURNS
Hailing from India’s rising extreme metal underground, Eternal Returns has built a reputation on technical ferocity, emotional depth, and relentless live performances. The band continues to push boundaries while gaining momentum on the international stage.
“Salver the Fray” official video is available now on YouTube and all major streaming platforms.
Let There Be Sin is out now via Brutal Records USA.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover)

Video out now | Stream & presave available
Presave and stream: https://www.submithub.com/link/sight-of-emptiness-break-stuff
Stream: https://sightofemptiness.bandcamp.com/track/break-stuff
Costa Rica’s long-running metal force Sight of Emptiness returns with a devastating new take on “Break Stuff” by Limp Bizkit , and this time the message cuts deeper than nostalgia.
The video is out now, and it reframes a late 90s nu metal anthem as something far more personal, far more global, and far more human.
Blending nu metal aggression with groove metal weight, Sight of Emptiness reshapes the track into something that carries both tribute and confrontation. Fans of Deftones , Korn , and Limp Bizkit will recognize the DNA, but the delivery feels sharpened by experience, geography, and lived pressure.
Originally conceived as a passion project celebrating the golden era of heavy music, the release took on deeper emotional weight following the passing of Sam Rivers in 2025. What started as homage evolved into something more grounded, a reflection on impact, legacy, and survival through sound.
Production, mixing, and mastering were handled by Thomas “Plec” Johansson at Bohus Studio in Sweden, bringing clarity and force to a track that balances raw attitude with modern precision.
Sight of Emptiness is no newcomer. With over 20 years in the independent metal underground, five albums, and global touring history across Iceland, Japan, and beyond, the band has shared stages with Testament, In Flames, Arch Enemy, Behemoth, Nightwish, Dimmu Borgir, Dark Tranquillity, and Machine Head. They have also performed at Bloodstock Open Air and became the first Central American band to appear on the 70000 Tons of Metal cruise. At home, they have supported icons including Black Sabbath, Slayer, Megadeth, and Amon Amarth.
About the video

“Break Stuff” is not a nostalgia exercise. It is a reckoning.
The video follows a young Latin American boy pushed to his breaking point, not by a single event, but by the accumulated weight of systems built without his consent. From rigid institutions to invisible hierarchies, his rage is not chaos, it is the inevitable result of pressure with no exit. When he finally watches the symbols of his expected future burn, he does not feel guilt. He feels relief. He runs. He finds a door. On the other side, the band is there mid ritual, as if they had always been waiting.
Directed and produced by XENN (Gavriel Arias), the visual bridges raw live performance and cinematic storytelling. Shot on location in San José, Costa Rica, it builds a grounded surrealism that mirrors the song’s emotional structure: pressure, release, and the eerie silence that follows.
This is not just a cover. It is a reclamation of the genre as a survival language.
This is nu metal not as an import, but as a mirror.
The band shares:
“Seeing Limp Bizkit play our home soil confirmed that recording this track was the right move. The emotions from that live experience reaffirmed the power of these anthems today. It feels fresher and more necessary than ever. It is about catharsis. You get that release through music without actually having to act it out. Why did we do it? Why not? It is a necessary purge.”
Far from imitation, this version of “Break Stuff” channels chaos into meaning, and turns pressure into release.
Release Date: March 25, 2026
Genre: Nu Metal / Groove Metal
Label: Independent

Way back in 2021, Orphan Donor dropped their frantic sophomore album Unraveled. Since then, the Pennsylvania metallic screamo band have not released much music. There was a noisy, guttural one-off single last year called “Vomit In The Cathedral Of Nous,” but until today, that was it. Now a whole new Orphan Donor LP is on…
