For ÜBERCHRIIST, Apotheosis Begins with a Descent
Apotheosis traditionally means elevation to divine status. On Dæmonic Apotheosis, however, the only path upwards leads straight down. The second full-length from American black metal quartet ÜBERCHRIIST follows that descent across ten tracks and 38 minutes, passing through abyssal waters, tombs, demonic transformation and rites conducted far beneath the surface. The album will be released […] -
Listening Now : Jonny Corralitos – Who Loves The Sun


Jonny Corralitos gives Who Loves The Sun a relaxed, sun-drenched makeover that feels far removed from a straight revival of the original. The familiar melody floats over an easygoing groove, with warm bass, laid-back drums, keys and pedal steel adding plenty of colour around the acoustic guitar. The vocals have a slightly wistful character, while the harmonies and bright brass bring a playful lift that keeps the track moving. A surf-tinged guitar touch adds another layer to the arrangement, giving the whole thing an almost cinematic West Coast feel. It’s mellow without drifting, nostalgic without sounding overly reverent, and packed with those small instrumental details that make repeated listens worthwhile. Corralitos turns the song into an easy, breezy piece of summer psych-pop with just enough groove to keep the sun setting slowly.

LOUDWIRE FEATURES MATT ZANE IN COVERAGE OF ONGOING STATIC-X LAWSUIT
Metal Devastation PR client Matt Zane has been featured by Loudwire in recent coverage of the ongoing legal dispute surrounding his documentary about Wayne Static and Tera Wray.
The coverage comes as Zane continues to defend his position in a lawsuit involving Static-X. Zane has stated that the case seeks more than $1 million and centers in part on disputed ownership of footage he personally filmed while working with the band.
Zane has also maintained that he never signed a work-for-hire agreement transferring ownership of his footage and that his work involved two separate documentary projects, including his own film about Wayne Static and Tera Wray.
In a recent video update, Zane discussed the case, the footage at issue, and his plans to continue moving forward with the documentary.
Metal Devastation PR would like to thank Loudwire for covering the story and providing its readers with an opportunity to learn more about the ongoing case and Zane’s position.
The lawsuit remains ongoing, and the allegations and legal positions of the parties have not been finally determined by the court.

Listening Now : The Bankes Brothers – Aaliyah


The Bankes Brothers bring a warm, guitar-led feel to Aaliyah, balancing folk-rock softness with the open-hearted pull of indie rock. Fingerpicked guitars set the tone, but the song gradually finds its lift in the band’s melodic instincts, with the vocals carrying a sense of genuine closeness rather than oversized drama. There’s a comforting, lived-in quality to the arrangement, especially in the slightly muted guitar tones, while the rhythm keeps everything moving at an easy pace. Aaliyah has that rare quality of feeling personal without becoming overly inward — a song about holding onto someone, distance and uncertainty, but ultimately choosing optimism. The Bankes Brothers keep things simple and let the melody breathe, resulting in a gentle, timeless piece of indie folk-rock that feels equally at home on a quiet evening or with the windows down on a long drive.
