Next Week’s Washing deliver an impressive blend of post punk urgency and shoegaze atmosphere on All You Fear Is All You Feel. Driven by propulsive rhythms, textured guitars, and a palpable sense of tension, the track effectively captures the anxiety and overstimulation associated with modern life. The band balances intensity with melody, creating a sound that feels both immersive and emotionally resonant. Its thoughtful lyrical themes are reinforced by a dynamic arrangement that mirrors the restless energy at the song’s core. As the closing release from their debut EP, All You Fear Is All You Feel highlights the group’s artistic ambition and establishes them as a promising emerging presence within the contemporary alternative scene.

Massachusetts metal powerhouse FUMING MOUTH has announced their highly anticipated new full-length album, The Ringing Bell, due out July 17th via Triple B Records.
The album marks the first FUMING MOUTH recording to feature drummer Jay Weinberg alongside vocalist/guitarist Mark Whelan, guitarist Pat Merson, and bassist Chris Berg. Recorded at GodCity Studio with Kurt Ballou, The Ringing Bell finds the band pushing their trademark fusion of death metal and hardcore to new extremes, delivering the most powerful and fully realized release of their career.
Today, the band also unveil the album’s lead single and music video, “A Blaze of Nihilism,” offering the first glimpse into the relentless intensity and sharpened songwriting that define the record.
For centuries, the ringing of a bell has signified moments of consequence; warning of danger, marking celebration, calling communities together, or signaling the completion of a difficult journey. The symbolism resonates deeply throughout The Ringing Bell, an album forged through perseverance, transformation, and an unwavering commitment to moving forward.
Since emerging from New England’s underground more than a decade ago, FUMING MOUTH have steadily established themselves as one of heavy music’s most respected and uncompromising bands. What began as a passion project led by Whelan evolved into a globally recognized force through a string of acclaimed releases, relentless touring, and an ever-expanding reputation for combining crushing heaviness with genuine emotional weight.
The Ringing Bell Track List: 1. Cheat Death 2. Self-Exhumed 3. Finally Fearless 4. A Blaze of Nihilism 5. After Oblivion 6. Hidden in the Moor 7. Vivid Revelations 8. Flourishing Flesh 9. The Ringing Bell 10. Barbarian Scourge 11. Respect Mortality
Across The Ringing Bell, the band refine every aspect of their sound. Towering riffs, punishing rhythms, bleak atmosphere, and memorable songwriting collide with a newfound sense of focus and urgency. Weinberg’s explosive performance behind the kit injects fresh energy into the material, while Whelan’s unmistakable vocal ferocity and guitar work drive the album forward with uncompromising intensity.
The result is a record that feels both deeply personal and universally cathartic; an album born from struggle, perseverance, and the determination to emerge stronger from adversity.
In support of The Ringing Bell, FUMING MOUTH will embark on a US tour with SIX FEET UNDER in August, followed by a tour with REVOCATION, DEFEATED SANITY, AND WEEPING in September/October . Tickets are available now at: https://fumingmouth.com/pages/tour

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
RADIANT BLACK’S “THROUGH THE VALLEY OF DECAY” OUT NOW
Stream and purchase: https://radiantblack.bandcamp.com/album/through-the-valley-of-decay
Progressive / Melodic Death Metal duo Radiant Black unleash their most immersive and structured release to date with “Through the Valley of Decay,” out now, June 8th, 2026. The new full-length marks a clear step forward in their evolution, pushing deeper into atmosphere, contrast, and tightly constructed songwriting, anchored by expressive lead guitar work and intricate melodic soloing that continues to define their sound.
Built as a continuous emotional descent, the album moves through shifting layers of melody, intensity, and dynamic guitar interplay. Opening track Ascent sets the tone before diving into the evolving textures of Viridian and First Light , expanding the band’s sonic palette into more experimental and progressive territory while showcasing detailed phrasing and lead passages. Tracks such as Elegy for the Condemned , Between the Faces , and The Witness drive into darker, more aggressive ground, while the closing piece Hall of Voices delivers a reflective and atmospheric finish.
A standout moment arrives with a guest saxophone performance by Hugo Lee on First Light , adding an unexpected layer that pushes the record further into progressive territory.
“Through the Valley of Decay” was produced and mixed independently by guitarist Raphael Meissonnier, with mastering by Dave Otero (Archspire, Cattle Decapitation, Fallujah, The Zenith Passage), delivering a sharp, powerful final sound.
Radiant Black, formed in 2022 by Raphael Meissonnier and vocalist Voiicide, continues to operate outside traditional label systems while steadily building momentum through releases including Epoqualypse (2022), Reborn (2023), and Rituals of Anarchy (2024). Their sound keeps evolving around melodic precision, progressive structure, detailed guitar work, and modern extreme metal intensity.
Production Credits: Music by Raphael Meissonnier Vocals by Voiicide Produced and mixed by Raphael Meissonnier Mastered by Dave Otero Guest musician: Hugo Lee (saxophone on First Light )
Radiant Black continues carving its own path in the underground, delivering a record built for listeners who still value albums as complete experiences rather than disconnected singles.
