Abaddon Incarnate Returns with Relentless New Single “This Verminous Creation”
Presave / stream: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/abaddonincarnate/this-verminous-creation
Dublin, Ireland – October 31, 2025 – Irish deathgrind legends Abaddon Incarnate are back to remind the world why they’ve been one of Europe’s most ferocious extreme metal forces since 1994. Dropping their latest single, “This Verminous Creation” , the band delivers a vicious, pulverizing dose of grind-infused death metal that will leave fans reeling and new listeners questioning reality.
Taken from their critically acclaimed 2022 album, The Wretched Sermon , “This Verminous Creation” embodies the pinnacle of Abaddon Incarnate’s sonic power. The track showcases the band’s signature ferocity, blending relentless blast beats, razor-sharp riffs, and guttural vocals with the raw intensity that has defined their legacy for over three decades.
Olan Parkinson , original drummer and driving force behind the band’s return, says:


“ The Wretched Sermon sees the pinnacle of this power, as it is an album rich and powerful in tone but never forgetting those barbed wire, disease-riddled grind origins. Vicious, brutal and magnificent.”


Formed in Dublin in 1994, Abaddon Incarnate initially carved their niche under the name Bereaved before rebranding with the release of their third demo, When the Demons Come . With five full-length albums and numerous tours across Europe, South America, Russia, and Australia, the band has cemented their status as pioneers of Irish extreme metal. After lineup shifts in 2024 brought back bassist Cory Annatar and introduced new vocalist David Hynes , Abaddon Incarnate re-emerged stronger than ever as a lean, four-piece unit.
Fans of Nasum, Brutal Truth, Immolation, and Morbid Angel will find familiar brutality and technical prowess woven into the fabric of the single, while newcomers will immediately recognize the band’s ruthless energy and uncompromising vision.
Produced and engineered by Chris Fielding, “This Verminous Creation” is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Bandcamp, and YouTube. Fans can also explore the band’s full discography, tour history, and more at abaddonincarnateofficial.com.

Their sound, simultaneously nostalgic and forward-thinking, resonates with fans of Sepultura, Pantera, and Biohazard alike.

Sight of Emptiness Unleashes Crushing Nu-Metal Tribute with “Break Stuff” (Limp Bizkit Cover)
Costa Rica’s long-reigning metal force, Sight of Emptiness, returns with a powerful and deeply personal release: a reimagined cover of “Break Stuff,” the iconic anthem by Limp Bizkit . Dropping March 25th, this version is more than a tribute. It’s a full-force statement from a band that has spent two decades carving its own path through the global metal underground.
Blending Nu Metal intensity with Groove Metal weight, Sight of Emptiness injects their signature sonic identity into the track while honoring the raw energy that defined an era. Fans of Deftones , Korn , and Limp Bizkit will find themselves right at home in this explosive reinterpretation.
Originally conceived as a passion project celebrating the golden age of late ‘90s and early 2000s metal, the release took on deeper meaning following the passing of Sam Rivers in 2025. What began as homage evolved into a heartfelt, posthumous tribute, honoring Rivers’ influence and the sonic blueprint that continues to inspire generations.
Produced, mixed, and mastered by acclaimed producer Thomas “Plec” Johansson (known for his work with Opeth and Soilwork ) at Bohus Studio in Sweden, the track strikes a rare balance between old-school authenticity and modern precision. The result is a version of “Break Stuff” that feels both nostalgic and urgently relevant.
Sight of Emptiness brings serious pedigree to the table. Over a 20-year independent career, they’ve released five albums, toured globally from Iceland to Japan, and shared stages with heavyweights like Testament , In Flames , Arch Enemy , Behemoth , Nightwish , Dimmu Borgir , Dark Tranquillity , and Machine Head . They’ve ignited crowds at Bloodstock Open Air and made history as the first Central American band to perform on the 70000 Tons of Metal .
On their home turf, they’ve supported legends such as Black Sabbath , Slayer , Megadeth , and Amon Amarth , cementing their status as Costa Rica’s premier metal export.
The band shares:


“Seeing Limp Bizkit play our home soil confirmed that recording this track was the right move. The emotions from that live experience reaffirmed the power of these anthems today—they feel fresher and more necessary than ever. It’s about catharsis. You get that release through music without actually having to act it out. Why did we do it? Why not? It’s a necessary purge.”


Far from a carbon-copy cover, this version of “Break Stuff” channels the chaos, brotherhood, and emotional release that defined a generation—while pushing it forward with modern firepower.

Los Angeles, CA – Rising from the filth and fury of the West Coast underground, Choke Me are set to drop their latest sonic assault, “A Violent Phenomenon,” on May 1, 2026 via Riot Ready Records.
Blending the raw aggression of grindcore, the urgency of hardcore, and the crushing weight of metal, Choke Me deliver a no-frills, DIY-fueled attack that pulls zero punches.

As Staxx Tightsey puts it:
“Relentless, pissed off and punishing metal blended with thoughtful lyrics.”
Fans of Darkest Hour, Magrudergrind, and Punch will find plenty to latch onto here, but Choke Me aren’t just following in anyone’s footsteps. They’re stomping their own path straight through the concrete.
The record was written, recorded, and mixed by Wesley Richards at Riot Ready Records, capturing the band’s raw, unfiltered energy at its source. Mastering was handled by Brad Boatright at Audiosiege, adding the final layer of sonic devastation, while artwork by Matt Worthington visually captures the chaos within.
