  • SARDONIC WITCHERY Returns With “Under The Sign Of The Trident” – @thebeast

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    SARDONIC WITCHERY Returns With “Under The Sign Of The Trident”

    Digital Release: March 2026 | Physical CD & Cassette: April–May 2026
    Texas-based black metal warlords SARDONIC WITCHERY announce their latest sonic assault, Under The Sign Of The Trident , a fully re-recorded compilation that ignites the flame of raw, underground black thrash metal. This release is both a tribute to their decade-spanning catalog and a sharpened weapon for the future of the cult.
    Forged in 2012 in Porto, Portugal, and relocated to Texas in 2013, SARDONIC WITCHERY has remained a one-man black metal entity led by King Demogorgon , the mastermind behind all vocals, drums, guitars, bass, and lyrical vision. Since 2025, G. Lucis Ruina has joined as a full member, adding razor-sharp production and heightened musical ferocity to the band’s ritualistic arsenal.
    A Rebirth of Blackened Fury

    Under The Sign Of The Trident collects re-recorded tracks from four seminal releases:
    Kult Of The Underground Warrior (2014)
    King Of The Midnight Legions (2017)
    Moonlight Sacrifice Ritual (2020)
    Barbaric Evil Power (2024)
    Alongside the notorious Black Fucking Metal from the 7” EP The Maniac Of Steel (2016), these eight tracks have been reforged in 2026 with intensified occult power, vicious riffing, and ritualistic precision — the foundation for the upcoming live desecrations on the Under The Sign Of The Trident Tour 2026 .
    Live Rituals Across Continents

    The band continues its international conquest, with tour dates spanning:
    United Kingdom
    Mexico
    12 U.S. states , including Maryland Death Fest
    Joining Demogorgon and Ruina in live ceremonies are session members James Siegrist and Daniel Salamanca , bringing chaos and devotion to every stage.
    Underground Integrity

    SARDONIC WITCHERY remains committed to raw, aggressive riffing, Luciferian occultism, witchcraft, and anti-Christian blasphemy — all wrapped in the barbaric spirit of true black metal. Their sound rejects modern polish in favor of primitive intensity, delivering ritualistic fury that honors the early waves of black metal while stamping their own merciless legacy.

  • Death Metal Veterans INCANTATION Turn Their Tour Into A Food Drive Initiative: “Let’s Do Our Part To Help Out Our Local Communities”

    Incantation are using the remaining dates of their North American run for something beyond the music. The death metal lifers have launched a food drive initiative at each remaining stop of the “Praise The Beast North American Tour”, which also features Belphegor, Hate, and Narcotic Wasteland. Donations collected at the door each night will go to local food banks in the cities where the band performs.

    The push came from a personal place. Frontman John McEntee has been open about the band running into hospitality problems on the road — going without meals for several nights when venue food access fell through. That experience, rather than turning inward, prompted him to think bigger: “As a musician, I have had times when things have been tight, including the last few years, so I know how difficult it is to sometimes choose between medical bills and paying for food or housing. I understand this is the life I chose and, in fact, I’m proud of it.”

    “There are others less fortunate who don’t even have the chance to afford food or shelter. So, I decided to have a food drive at the remaining shows on this tour and donate to the local food banks in the venues’ communities.”

    The ask is simple: bring non-perishable goods — cans, dry goods — to the show. McEntee was careful not to make anyone feel pressured about it: “I know times are rough, and if you can’t bring anything, I totally understand. But if you can give, let’s do our part to help out our local communities.”

    He also put out a call for local help with logistics: “We need local people in the cities where we are playing to provide us with contacts for local food banks, or even better, people willing to help us drop off the collected food after the show.”

    The situation that sparked the initiative came up earlier in the tour when the band found themselves without venue hospitality for multiple nights running.

    McEntee addressed it directly: “I know what it’s like, and I don’t want anybody on the face of the Earth to go through this. We have had so many people reach out with help after I made my last post about our hospitality issues, and all of us in the band appreciate all the kind gestures. The more I thought about it, the more I realized there are people in much more dire situations. We will get through our own stuff, but we need to help others. We need to give back. If you are local to these cities and can help us transport the donations, please reach out!”

    Remaining “Praise The Beast North American Tour” dates:

    02/28 – Haltom Theater – Haltom City, TX
    03/01 – Scout Bar – Houston TX
    03/02 – Paper Tiger – San Antonio, TX
    03/03 – The Rosetta Room – Mesa, AZ
    03/06 – Brick By Brick – San Diego CA
    03/07 – DNA Lounge – San Francisco, CA
    03/08 – Goldfield Trading Post – Roseville, CA

  • Listening Now : Numoon – FINAL FORM

    Numoon returns in razor-sharp mode with FINAL FORM, a gritty boom bap cut that hits with both precision and presence. Anchored by dusty drums and a head-nodding groove, the track gives Numoon ample space to flex his animated cadence and layered wordplay.

    His bars unfold cinematically—dense but controlled—balancing underground edge with thoughtful maturity. There’s a confidence here that feels earned, not forced, as if he’s stepping fully into the persona he’s been refining for years. FINAL FORM isn’t just a title; it’s a statement. For real hip hop heads craving substance and flow, Numoon delivers with authority and finesse.

  • PHASERIP Unleashes Debut Full-Length Album Out of Phase – Out Now – @thebeast

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
    PHASERIP Unleashes Debut Full-Length Album Out of Phase – Out Now
    Cross-dimensional, cross-continental metal project PHASERIP announces the release of their debut full-length album, Out of Phase , now available on all major streaming platforms https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/phaserip/out-of-phase
    Blending metal, grunge metal, and alternative metal, PHASERIP crafts a soundscape reminiscent of Faith No More, System of a Down, and Soundgarden, while carving out its own heavy, melodic, and cinematic identity. The album’s narrative follows a man ripped into an alternate reality, exploring themes of isolation, displacement, and identity, perfectly captured by the project’s mascot, ‘Phaser Phil,’ an outsider wandering a distorted mirror of our world.
    PHASERIP is led by Fresno songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jawsh Willis, who performs most guitars, bass, and keyboards. The core lineup spans the globe: drummer Cezary Borawski and vocalist Oscar Klassen record from Poland (Oscar originally from Mexico), forming the backbone of the project’s sonic intensity.
    Out of Phase features an international roster of guest musicians, including Finnish death-metal vocalist Topias Jokipii, Algerian extreme-metal vocalist Redouane Aoumeur, award-winning Japanese guitarist Preston Murdock, Fresno musicians Matthew Banwart and Grayson Nolan, and former bandmates Trevor Bryant, Joey Ayala, and Daniel C. Wallace. Produced and mixed by Facundo at Sweep Blast Studios in Argentina, the album delivers crushing drop-tuned riffs, soaring hooks, and atmospheric storytelling.
    PHASERIP also pays tribute to a personal hero with a cover of Black Sabbath’s “After All (The Dead),” honoring the legendary Ronnie James Dio.
    Jawsh Willis on the release:
    “Out of Phase follows a man who slips into a reality where no one knows him. It’s a metaphor for the way so many of us feel—out of place, unseen, and searching for meaning in a world that doesn’t feel like ours. If you’ve ever woken up in the wrong universe, this album will feel like home.”
    PHASERIP is self-managed, independent, and distributed via DistroKid.
