FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VESSEL OF LIGHT RETURNS WITH EXPANDED, REMASTERED SELF-TITLED DEBUT VIA NoLifeTilMetal RECORDS

Featuring Dan Lorenzo ( HADES ) and Nathan Opposition ( Ancient VVisdom )
Radio Impact: May 15, 2026 | Worldwide Release: July 3, 2026
NoLifeTilMetal Records is back in the trenches with a serious one, bringing new life to the long-out-of-print debut from Vessel of Light, the collaborative project led by veteran riff master Dan Lorenzo and vocalist Nathan Opposition. What started as a buried European-only release has now been fully remastered, expanded, and rebuilt for a proper global run in 2026.
This isn’t just a reissue. It’s a resurrection.
The self-titled Vessel of Light debut, originally tracked at Brainchild Studios in Cleveland, now returns louder, heavier, and more focused than ever thanks to a fresh remaster from Rob Colwell, whose credits include work with Nevermore , Flotsam and Jetsam , Helstar , King’s X , and Hades.
Lorenzo and Opposition’s chemistry still hits the same way it did on day one, equal parts grit, doom, melody, and that unmistakable old-school heaviness that refuses to age out.
Dan Lorenzo reflects on how it all started:
“I decided to write about the band in NU’s Steppin’ Out magazine and I mailed Nathan Opposition a copy and an old Hades CD. We started talking, no real plan, no expectations. I wasn’t even really playing much guitar at the time. Then he asked if I wanted to write together and it just happened.”
Nathan Opposition adds:
“It started casually, almost jokingly. Then suddenly riffs were coming in nonstop and lyrics just started pouring out. It clicked fast, no overthinking it.”
What followed was more than a project. It became a catalog of releases including Woodshed , Thy Serpent Rise , and Last Ride , building a cult following in underground heavy music circles. But the debut album remained a hidden piece of history, only previously available in a limited European run.
Now it gets the treatment it always deserved.
THE NEW EDITION INCLUDES:

Four bonus tracks
A cover of Black Sabbath’s Wasp / Behind The Wall Of Sleep
Heavyweight crystal clear vinyl pressing (limited to 200 copies)
Two-sided insert with lyrics, rare photos, and new liner notes from Dan Lorenzo
Full remaster by Rob Colwell
Expanded CD edition with updated packaging

For fans of Danzig, Corrosion of Conformity, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Ancient Wisdom, and Patriarchs in Black, this release hits that sweet spot between doom-laced heaviness and raw, riff-driven rock truth.
NoLifeTilMetal Records sums it up best. They are not just reissuing an album, they are correcting history.
Vessel of Light (Remastered & Expanded) arrives July 3, 2026 worldwide. Radio impact begins May 15, 2026.
This one’s built for speakers turned up too loud.

Haken have released their first new music in three years with the track “In A Fever Dream”. The song marks a new chapter for the U.K. progressive metal group, including the band’s first time working with an outside producer.

For the new single, Haken teamed up with George Lever, known for his work with Loathe and Sleep Token. According to the announcement, the collaboration helped shape “some of the most emotionally direct material” in the band’s career so far.

The track also features bassist Bryan Beller, recognized for his work with The Aristocrats, Dethklok, and Joe Satriani.

An official visualizer for “In A Fever Dream”, created by Oli Kember, has also been released alongside the single.

Earlier this year, Haken parted ways with guitarist Charlie Griffiths and bassist Conner Green.

Throughout 2024, Haken toured extensively in support of their latest studio album, Fauna. The band’s “An Evening With” shows featured two sets per night, including a full performance of Fauna followed by additional material pulled from across the group’s catalog.

One of the standout performances from that run took place on September 21, 2024, when Haken returned to London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town. The concert was filmed by Paul Green Productions and later released as Liveforms: An Evening With Haken, with mixing handled by Jens Bogren, whose credits include Between The Buried And Me and Ihsahn.
