FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
KÜNTSQUÄD Continue Their Reign of Chaos as Satans Cock Keeps Turning Heads Across the Global Metal Underground
Melbourne, Australia : Some albums disappear after release. Others leave a crater.
Australian extreme metal wrecking crew KÜNTSQUÄD continue to build momentum behind their latest full-length, Satans Cock , as the band’s uncompromising blend of death metal, blackened chaos, crust punk, and doom-soaked brutality continues to attract listeners and media attention around the world.
Released through Wormholedeath Records Worldwide , Satans Cock has established itself as one of Australia’s most talked-about underground metal releases. Fueled by crushing riffs, relentless aggression, grotesque satire, and an unapologetic disregard for convention, the album has earned praise from metal publications, radio shows, podcasts, and fans across Europe, North America, Japan, and Australia.
The record climbed to the #1 position on The Heavy Magazine’s Australian charts for two consecutive weeks while drawing attention for its controversial visual presentations, with multiple music videos facing censorship and bans from mainstream platforms due to their graphic and confrontational content.
Rather than backing down, KÜNTSQUÄD have embraced the controversy.
Fronted by guitarist and vocalist Paula VC Damnzal , the Melbourne quartet continues to push extreme metal into uncomfortable territory, blending savage musicianship with dark humor, social commentary, and imagery designed to provoke reactions. Their sound draws influence from death metal, black metal, crust, and doom while refusing to be confined by genre expectations.
Since forming in 2017, KÜNTSQUÄD have built a loyal following through relentless touring across Australia’s east coast and a growing international presence. The band’s uncompromising approach has earned them coverage from respected publications including Decibel , Rock Hard , Legacy , Metalized , Metallurg , and numerous independent media outlets throughout the global metal community.
Their inclusion on Imperative Music Compilation Volume 18 , alongside legendary acts including Deicide and God Dethroned , further cemented the band’s place among today’s rising forces in extreme metal.
Recorded and mastered at Goatsound Studios by Jason Fuller and Jamie Colic, Satans Cock captures everything KÜNTSQUÄD represent: crushing down-tuned riffs, devastating blast beats, filthy grooves, and an atmosphere that balances brutality with bizarre, unfiltered creativity. Combined with the unmistakable artwork of RokArt from Sadistik Exekution , the album stands as a complete artistic statement that refuses to compromise.
With international attention continuing to grow, KÜNTSQUÄD remain focused on expanding their reach, bringing their chaotic live performance to new audiences, and continuing to challenge expectations of what extreme metal can be.
For fans of early Carcass, Last Days of Humanity, Sadistik Exekution, Autopsy, Discharge, and anyone who prefers their metal filthy, fearless, and completely unhinged.

It’s likely that Threatin, the band fronted by Jered Threatin, will go down in history for all the wrong reasons. Back in 2018, a chaotic UK tour made headlines after no one showed up to his shows. It transpired that Threatin had faked a significant online presence to encourage promoters to book his band, and the venues, quite naturally, weren’t happy.
His band members quit, there was legal activity and plenty of mud-slinging, but instead of apologising, Jered turned the situation on its head by insisting the whole thing had been an elaborate set-up – and that the ‘joke’ was actually on us.
“What is Fake News?” he tweeted. “I turned an empty room into an international headline. If you are reading this, you are part of the illusion.”
A year after the cancellations, Threatin returned to London to play a poorly attended and somewhat shambolic show at the Underworld, then ceased activity until the release of Die Young in early 2025. The single and its rather grim video documented Threatin’s experience undergoing emergency open-heart surgery following a series of heart attacks.
Now, it appears that Jered Threatin is on the mend, with a new single, The Shadow Box, out now. The instrumentation has something of the flavour of Ennio Morricone’s The Ecstasy of Gold, so perhaps it’s no surprise that the video appears to show Jered lying dead inside some kind of desert burial box before riding to safety atop a goods train.
The Shadow Box was mastered at Abbey Road in London, and comes from Threatin’s upcoming second album, the appropriately titled The Meaning of It All. No release date has been confirmed.
