Funeral Doom Architects Aphonic Threnody Announce New Album Grace My Heart – @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Funeral Doom Architects Aphonic Threnody Announce New Album Grace My Heart
Release Date: August 7th, 2026
Genre: Funeral Doom / Death Doom Metal
For Fans Of: My Dying Bride , Ennui , Pantheist
International funeral doom collective Aphonic Threnody return with their most focused and emotionally devastating statement to date, Grace My Heart , arriving August 7th, 2026 via self-release.
Forged from members of the global extreme metal underground, Aphonic Threnody have long been known for crafting massive, slow-burning compositions that feel less like songs and more like collapsing cathedrals of sound. Across previous releases such as When Death Comes and The Great Hatred , the band built a reputation for blending crushing funeral doom weight with mournful melody, distant choirs, and an overwhelming sense of spiritual decay and transcendence.
With Grace My Heart , that vision is refined into something even more intentional.
This is doom stripped of decoration and left in its purest emotional form.
The album moves through themes of endurance, loss, and spiritual fracture. Each composition unfolds with patience and restraint, allowing heaviness and silence to coexist in equal measure. Moments of crushing distortion are balanced by fragile passages that feel almost suspended in time.
The band comment on the record:
“This album isn’t about despair. It’s about endurance. How grief becomes grace when you allow it to remain.”
Following When Death Comes and The Great Hatred , this new chapter stands as Aphonic Threnody’s most unified and deliberate work to date, a record that leans fully into atmosphere, weight, and emotional truth.

Last Night‘s Keepsake Self-Titled Album Review
Last Night’s Keepsake Self-Titled Album Review
The album opens with “Hello!” This introduction features sound effects reminiscent of an office environment. After this peculiar intro, the album swiftly transitions into “Her Great Escape.” This track unleashes the band’s rock vibes, evoking a strong sense of 90s composition.
The following track, “Addictive Taste,” begins in an atmospheric manner. This song is far more introspective and profound than its predecessor. Jamie Wiltshire’s voice fills the sonic space with a warm and intense timbre.
The third track, “Monster,” introduces Clara Clasen’s vocals. Her feminine touch adds an epic feel to the compositions crafted by Philipp Huemmerich. The song itself is an engaging rock track, infused with nostalgic elements emphasized by the singer’s beautiful vocal quality.
Self Titled Album – Sound and Atmosphere
Next is “Now & Then,” again with Clara on vocals. This is one of my personal favorites. It possesses a touch of psychedelic and slightly dystopian elements, making it particularly intriguing. The rhythm builds steadily, featuring dynamic moments where the song empties before restarting powerfully.
“DAMNATIO MEMORIAE” returns to Jamie Wiltshire’s voice. This track emphasizes a nocturnal vibe, complemented by a refined chord progression. The atmosphere leaves listeners contemplating deeply.
The album concludes with “Piñata Island,” a song that hints at punk and alternative influences, rendering it urgent and interesting. This track serves as a fitting finale to a remarkable album.
Self Titled Album – Performance and Production
The album is a result of collaboration between the three musicians. Philipp Huemmerich’s vision as the architect of this musical project shines through. He effectively identified the ideal elements to translate his ideas into music, resulting in a coherent and impressive album.
Last Night’s Keepsake’s self-titled album showcases the diverse talents of each member. The smooth transitions from rock anthems to introspective ballads allow listeners to experience different emotional layers. From the office ambiance of “Hello!” to the dynamic elements of “Now & Then,” this project captures the essence of modern rock while remembering the past.
The vocal performances stand out significantly throughout the album. Jamie Wiltshire’s warm tone contrasts beautifully with Clara Clasen’s airy yet resonant voice. Together, they create a variety of sonic textures that enrich each song.
The lyrical content also plays a crucial role. Each track presents themes of escape, introspection, and nostalgia. The thoughtful lyrics draw listeners in, prompting reflection on their own experiences.
Last Night’s Keepsake delivers a cool album that blends various influences. From the nostalgic rock elements to the introspective lyrical themes, this album deserves recognition.
Listeners searching for fresh yet familiar sounds will find much to appreciate within this collection. It is a strong debut that highlights the collaborative effort and distinct artistic vision of its creators.
The album reflects the growing synergy among band members, indicating a promising future. Their ability to combine personal influences creates a dynamic musical landscape.
Last Night’s Keepsakes, with a range of engaging tracks, invites listeners to explore the musical journey of this artistic project deeply.

Loneshore – Nothing Left to Deconstruct Review
When one pictures Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, post-metal is probably not among the imagery that readily springs to mind. But the more I think about it, the more the birthplace of Loneshore makes sense. Just as post-metal is often defined by striking contrasts, so is Rio, a city where mountains and beaches coexist alongside favelas and wealthy communities. This diversity is mirrored in Loneshore’s sophomore record, Nothing Left to Deconstruct, which arrives nearly eight years after their 2018 debut, From Presence to Silence. How have the members of Loneshore matured as musicians during this time?
It turns out that Loneshore wasn’t always primarily a post-metal group. From Presence to Silence blended somber, doomy melodeath similar to Eternal Storm with Opethian melodies. Nothing Left to Deconstruct, however, squarely straddles the line between post-metal and Explosions in the Sky-esque post-rock, while adopting Amenra’s silvery-smooth buildups and releases. Loneshore retains some progressive metal, although this time it’s closer to The Ocean, especially during some of the clean-sung passages in “To Stride the Black Earth.” In fact, Luiz Felipe Netto’s clean and harsh vocal styles both cover a wide array of registers. Nothing Left to Deconstruct is no less lush from an instrumental perspective, making it an enjoyable listen from front to back.
Nothing Left to Deconstruct flows like a river, though don’t expect many whitewater rapids. Intro track “Self Oscillations” is like a gentle tributary, its dreamy vocal harmonies, mild guitar notes, and mesmerizing tom drum percussion rolling fluidly into “Straylight.” Loneshore makes good use of three guitarists and a bassist by overlapping their lines together sumptuously (“Parhelion,” “Of Lost Waters”). The 10-minute centerpiece “Birth of a Mountain” features a laid-back recurring melody that rises and falls like a sea of sand dunes. That said, there are sometimes surges of vehemence in the form of blackened snarls and forceful riffs (“Straylight,” “To Stride the Black Earth,” “Parhelion”). Because Loneshore doesn’t overly favor hooks or heaviness, Nothing Left to Deconstruct is a bit of a slow burn, requiring a few complete spins to sink in for me.
As relaxing as Nothing Left to Deconstruct is overall, most of its individual songs last longer than their contents can support. The majority hover around the 8-minute mark, and all of these have lengthy outros that don’t add much. “Of Lost Waters” begins with a pristine and serene post-rock tune, which is diminished by the minute-and-a-half meandering conclusion of “Birth of a Mountain” that came before. Likewise, concluding track “With Nothing We Part” is the most languid and least memorable despite a momentary injection of vitality at the halfway point. On the other hand, “To Stride the Black Earth” is the punchiest and has no noticeable fluff. While the total runtime sits at a fairly reasonable 52 minutes, there is a stronger 40 to 45-minute record lurking within.
It’s not uncommon for artists’ priorities to shift during a lengthy absence; in this case, Loneshore is the better for it. The post/prog metal hybrid Nothing Left to Deconstruct passes by like a pleasant ocean breeze in Rio de Janeiro. It took some time for me to fully appreciate it, but I’m glad I did. The main deficiencies holding back Nothing Left to Deconstruct are a lack of decisive conclusions and a bit of bloat. Nevertheless, if Loneshore continues to develop in this manner, I anticipate great things from album number three.

THUNDERCHIEF Announces New Album With Hatchet, Pike or Morning Star… and Summer 2026 Tour – @thebeast
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
THUNDERCHIEF Announces New Album With Hatchet, Pike or Morning Star… and Summer 2026 Tour
Virginia-based heavy metal/punk outfit THUNDERCHIEF will release its new full-length album, With Hatchet, Pike or Morning Star… , via ASR Records on CD and digital platforms on July 1, 2026. The band will follow the release with a four-week U.S. tour beginning July 6 in support of the album, with additional regional touring planned for October.
Continuing their signature fusion of aggressive metal, raw punk energy, and hard rock influence, With Hatchet, Pike or Morning Star… stands as THUNDERCHIEF’s most focused and direct release to date. Across its runtime, the album delivers a relentless collection of heavy riffs, frantic rhythms, and unsettling lyrical themes, touching on modern social tension, politics, humanity, and the ongoing frustration surrounding concert ticket pricing and music streaming economics.
The band comments: “We are really excited about this album. It hits on everything we like about making music. We pushed ourselves in a few new directions this time, adding elements that weren’t present on earlier records. We’re really stoked on how fans have responded to hearing these songs live.”
Formed in Richmond, Virginia, THUNDERCHIEF has built its identity on a raw and abrasive blend of metal and hardcore punk, balancing weight and urgency in equal measure. This new release expands on that foundation with a sharper focus on momentum, intensity, and groove, while avoiding overproduction or modern studio excess. The album also features a reinterpretation of the 1973 cult classic “Entrance of the Devil” by Zior.
With Hatchet, Pike or Morning Star… will be released July 1, 2026 via ASR Records, followed immediately by a four-week national tour beginning July 6.
