FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LORD GRYPHUS ANNOUNCE DEBUT ALBUM “SUMMONING THE KING OF DEATH”
Presave & stream: https://lordgryphus.bandcamp.com/album/summoning-the-king-of-death-2
Austin, Texas death metal outfit Lord Gryphus have emerged from the underground with their debut full-length album Summoning the King of Death , set for release on July 17, 2026 . Built on the foundations of early 90s extreme metal, the band delivers a raw, ritual-driven sound that blends crushing aggression with oppressive atmosphere and a deep reverence for death.
Channeling the spirit of genre pioneers like Morbid Angel , Gorefest , Sepultura , Grave , Autopsy , Incantation , and Sinister , Lord Gryphus forge a sound rooted in primitive death metal execution, atmosphere, and confrontation.
The band operates as a three-piece anonymous unit, all masked, drawing from deep roots in the extreme metal underground. Their identity and concept revolve around execution, sacrifice, and ritual devotion to a carrion deity known as Lord Gryphus, inspired by Vultur gryphus , the Andean condor, a symbol tied to death, transcendence, and spiritual power.
Lyrically and thematically, the band confronts colonial violence, cultural erasure, and imposed religion, while honoring ancestral traditions and forgotten histories. The result is a release that is as ideological as it is sonic, built around ritual, resistance, and death as a force of reverence rather than fear.
Summoning the King of Death was recorded at Red Nova Ranch in Bastrop, Texas with Jeff Henson handling tracking, reamping, guitars, and bass. Vocals were recorded and produced by Kike Valderrama at Buziraco’s Lair Studio. The album was mixed and mastered by Andrés Mauricio Gallón at Sound Blast Studios in Armenia, Colombia.
The record includes a cover of Troops of Doom originally by Sepultura, along with guest vocals from Reese Alavi (Creeping Death) and a guitar solo by Mike De León (Flesh Hoarder / Soulfly), adding further weight to its underground impact.
Lord Gryphus will also appear alongside legendary death metal veterans Internal Suffering on select dates of their 30th Anniversary North American tour this July, bringing their ceremonial style of devastation to stages across the southern United States.
Band Statement:
“This album is our declaration of allegiance to death metal in its purest form. Influenced by the savage spirit of the early 90s, Summoning the King of Death delivers raw aggression, ritualistic atmosphere, and a reverence for death that transcends time and culture.”

It has been more than six years since Grimes released Miss Anthropocene, and let me tell you, those six years have been eventful. Grimes has lately been planting seeds for Psy Opera a new album that supposedly will not feature any generative AI. At Coachella earlier this year, she made a surprise appearance onstage with Cobrah, a Swedish artist who, at least according to a press release, comes “Stockholm’s underground fetish scene.” Today, that song is out.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRADHE UNLEASHES NEW ALBUM SIX TIMES OUT NOW

Italian One-Man Melodic Death Metal Project Delivers an Uncompromising Journey Through Humanity’s Darkest Truths

Stream & download https://pradhe.bandcamp.com/album/six-times-hd
Italian melodic death metal project Pradhe has officially released its latest full-length album, Six Times , available now on Bandcamp and YouTube , with streaming services to follow once distribution quality assurance is complete.
Founded in 2022 by multi-instrumentalist Matteo Nunziati , Pradhe is a one-man metal project rooted in melodic death metal while embracing elements of progressive metal, gothic doom, and atmospheric songwriting. Every instrument, vocal performance, programmed drum track, mix, and master on Six Times was crafted entirely by Nunziati, resulting in a deeply personal and uncompromising artistic statement.
While listeners may hear echoes of Insomnium, Opeth, and Dark Tranquillity, Pradhe also draws inspiration from the melancholic atmospheres of Paradise Lost and My Dying Bride. The result is a sound that balances memorable melodies, progressive arrangements, crushing heaviness, and emotional depth.
Reflecting on the creative process behind the album, Nunziati explains:
“Surely the most free of constraints I’ve done ever. Everything can be metal with the right attitude and guitar amplifier.”
Rather than telling one continuous story, Six Times explores the darker realities of modern society through individual snapshots of human behavior. The lyrics confront the erosion of empathy, the pursuit of power, and the everyday decisions that reveal humanity’s capacity for cruelty.
Musically, the album embraces diversity without abandoning its melodic death metal foundation. Blistering riffs and aggressive passages give way to progressive detours, haunting atmospheres, and doom-infused moments that blur the boundaries between multiple styles of heavy music. Throughout the record, Pradhe remains guided by the belief that metal has no creative limitations when driven by strong songwriting.
Adding another layer of authenticity, the album’s cover artwork incorporates a wartime manifest from Belgium. Ambient sounds featured in “Over My Cold Ashes” were created by kyles , with original source credits available through the band’s official website. The lyrics for “No Seasons in Hell” are adapted from biblical scripture.
Raw, introspective, and unafraid to challenge convention, Six Times marks another bold step forward for Pradhe, showcasing the creative freedom of an independent artist driven by passion rather than conformity.
