DEPHOSPHORUS RELEASE "PLANETOKTONOS"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

The title track from DEPHOSPHORUS' upcoming fifth album, "Planetoktonos", is now streaming in exclusive premiere at Mystification Zine.

A harrowing centerpiece, “Planetoktonos” encapsulates the band’s unique blend of cosmic grindcore and existential vision, channeling both blistering aggression and expansive depth. Lyrically inspired by the The Expanse book series and the concept of planetary annihilation, the track marks a defining moment in the band’s evolution, where intensity, intellect and innovation collide.

Stream "Planetoktonos" HERE. https://mystificationzine.com/2025/06/30/dephosphorus-song-premiere/

"Planetoktonos" will be released on July 18th, 2025. The LP edition will be co-released by 7Degrees Records and Nerve Altar, while Selfmadegod Records will handle the CD version.

DEPHOSPHORUS aims to expand listeners’ consciousness, fostering a vision of a sustainable future where humanity not only survives but thrives in harmony with its biosphere - and even with AI. Much like the anarchic utopia imagined by Iain M. Banks in The Culture books, this future is one where technology and humanity coexist symbiotically.

Their latest effort, “Planetoktonos”, is the band’s fifth full-length release, a ferocious collection of 9 cosmic, menacing tracks that pay tribute to the energy and dynamics of trailblazing acts such as Anodyne, Nasum, Playing Enemy, Breach, Knut, Leviathan and Bolt Thrower.

“Planetoktonos” - a Greek word coined by the band, roughly translating to “Planetkiller”- brings DEPHOSPHORUS closer than ever to their ideal sound. Mindfully forged in the positive atmosphere of Ignite Studio, a rising cornerstone of the local underground scene (home to acts like Antimob, Embrace Of Thorns and Chain Cult), the album was mastered by sonic guru James Plotkin (OLD, Khanate), ensuring every detail hits with impact.

Psychedelic layers are woven into the album’s fabric thanks to electronics mastermind Miltos Schimatariotis, a long- term collaborator and unofficial fifth member of the band. Schimatariotis, owner of Northside Studio, has been instrumental in shaping previous releases such as “Night Sky Transform”, “Ravenous Solemnit” and their collaboration LP with Haapoja.

As always, DEPHOSPHORUS explores science fiction and cosmology through an existential and political lens in both the lyrics and aesthetics of “Planetoktonos”. Several tracks, along with the album’s title and artwork - designed by Graphic No Jutsu (see Planet Of Zeus, Nightrage, etc.) - are inspired by The Expanse novel series by James S.A. Corey, a near-future universe where humanity has colonized the Solar System but faces the unknown consequences of encountering alien intelligence and technology. Other tracks delve into reflections on cosmologic and existential themes, spanning Dyson spheres and the persistence of life to the toxicity of defeatism and the looming threats of rogue AI or superintelligence.

“Planetoktonos” delivers a boundary-pushing sonic journey, sparking the imagination and inviting listeners to explore new dimensions of thought and sound.

Tracklist:

01. Living in a Metastable Universe

02. Hunting for Dyson Spheres

03. Pale Veins

04. After the Holocaust

05. The Triumph of Science and Reason

06. The Kinetics of a Superintelligence Explosion

07. Planetoktonos

08. Calculating Infinity

09. Eternal Bloom

Line-up:

Thanos Mantas – guitars/e-bow/chants

Panos Agoros - vocals

On Sunday 27th July, DEPHOSPHORUS will be returning to Greece's New Long Fest after 11 years, having played their first concert there in 2014. More info at: https://fb.me/e/izItlYxty

https://youtu.be/HNBtGIHT7f0

“A Testament to DIY Spirit and Emotional Honesty”

After years of grinding in the underground, Me And All My Demons represents the culmination of Jawfane’s intense DIY ethic, unfiltered storytelling, and genre-bending sound. Originally self-produced, the EP was re-recorded and finalized in partnership with Exitus Stratagem Records, bringing the band’s vision to life with new power and clarity.

“We are absolutely beyond words for how excited we are to bring our first collection of songs into the world with and through Exitus Stratagem Records,” shares the band. “This record is a personal journey. Sonically, we brought the hammer. Lyrically, we brought a bigger hammer—and we intend to beat out a place in the world for us and our brand of metalcore.”

New Single & Video: “Time Hunts Us All”

Jawfane’s newest single “Time Hunts Us All” is the band’s fastest, most intense track to date—layered with intricate vocal harmonies and crushing rhythms. Thematically, it envisions time as a villain, a reaper chasing down all of us with relentless purpose.

“We pushed ourselves musically,” the band explains. “‘Time Hunts Us All’ is the fastest Jawfane song by a mile, contains the most vocals, and is in a key we don’t use often. It actually started as part of Austin’s audition—he didn’t write the lyrics, but he owns every word of his part. It really shows how collaborative our process is.”

The music video captures Jawfane’s signature blend of chaos and catharsis, delivering a hard-hitting message for anyone who’s ever felt invalidated, unseen, or unheard .

EP Track Listing:

1.Damaged Goods – 3:48

2.Cataclysm (Nightmare) – 2:42

3.Me and All My Demons – 3:46

4.Friends and Enemies – 3:20

5.Time Hunts Us All – 4:01

Total Length: 17:39

About Jawfane

Formed from friendship and forged in fire, Jawfane —Cory Pack (guitar), Jesse Marquez (keyboard), Austin Heipp (vocals), AJ Chacon (drums), and Chase Schumann (bass)—have created a unique musical voice. Their songs pull from real-life experiences, personal battles, and emotional breakthroughs.

Rejecting strict genre boundaries, Jawfane’s sound blends elements of metalcore, post-hardcore, and mathcore with an ever-evolving approach that always stays true to the band’s identity.

  “All of our songs are based in reality—whether it’s something one of us went through, someone we know, or things we needed to say but couldn’t any other way. Me And All My Demons is a reflection of those moments—pain, struggle, catharsis, and ultimately, growth.”

Jawfane’s collaborative writing process frequently blurs traditional roles—bassists write guitar lines, drummers contribute melodies—resulting in music that’s both sonically rich and emotionally authentic.

For Fans Of:

King 810 , Wage War , The Ghost Inside , Norma Jean , Cane Hill

Coming Soon:

Jawfane will be hitting the road this summer to support Me And All My Demons . Tour dates to be announced shortly.

MROME RELEASE "BONEYARD TWIST"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Polish black metal project MROME already released new studio album "Boneyard Twist". Fors fans of 1st wave of black metal.

FFO:  Venom, Hellhammer, Darkthrone and Celtic Frost.

MROME was formed in 1995 by four elements joined in the frenzy of youth under the name Kingdom. They wanted to go there, from where others wish to run. The band recorded several demos and in 2001 their debut album "Transition", the soundtrack to artless rebellion, disillusionment and naive satanism, which was never released. The band disbanded a year later. In 2009, vocalist, guitarist and lyricist Key V decided to continue as MROME. Soon after the original drummer P. and bass player LV's joined the lineup. In 2024 bass player left and the new vocalist/lyricist aT joined.

As they say: „MROME is entirely a studio project focused on creative process and concepts behind the music, lyrics and graphics. We are not a touring band. We are not interested in promoting the band by lame photo sessions and social media. We reap the harvest on scorched soil".

After resuming their activity, the band has released 3 albums so far:

"Noetic Collision on the Roof of Hell" (2018, EEE recordings, USA) contains a strong anti-religious message as a reference to the lagacy of Kingdom,

"Leech Ghetto" (2019, NRA, PL) is lyrically concerned more about prophetic content as greed, war and isolation.

"Barbaric Values" (2022, NRA, PL) is a concept album based upon the moral and ethical conflict between socially imposed conditions and primordial nature of man. 

 

Now, MROME is preparing for relasing new album titled "Boneyard Twist".

It consist of 9 raw tracks recorded live in studio are a kind of return to dark roots of the band from the mid 90's. The music inspired by the first wave black metal is complemented by unpleasant lyrics dealing with grave residents, history, disabilities of body and mind, necromancy and ...monks exploding! 

The music was recorded in a one-day session on November 18, 2023 at Heaven's Sound Studio under the ear of Marcin Piekło, who also worked out the final sound of the album. Vocals were recorded in February 2024 at Piekłoniebo. The author of the painting used on the front cover is Mateusz Gawęda, but all was designed by Ataman Tolovy. 

Album "Boneyard Twist" was released on June 23, 2025 digitally and on tape by NRA. NRA is part of the collective gathering around the Rusty Nails Museum, which is a co-op of spiritually disabled people associated with Piekłoniebo. Tapes are available for purchase on Bandcamp.

AIRBORN RELEASE "LIZARD SECRETS: PART THREE - UTOPIA"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

At the dawn of the millennium a new force was emerging on the Italian metal scene; a band that blended the effervescent energy and uplifting melodies of power metal with the muscular riffs and immersive atmosphere of traditional heavy metal – Airborn. Now after nearly thirty years of fantastic albums and thrilling live performances alongside the likes of Iron Savior, Freedom Call, Fates Warning and many, many more, Airborn are set to release their seventh full length studio album – Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia. The concluding part of a trilogy of albums exploring the challenges of our possible futures through an array of sci-fi stories, Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia is a breathtaking new pinnacle in Airborn’s career, a defining work in their canon of metal.

Airborn announce their new album with ‘Kings Of Melody’, a perfect opening track that sweeps you away into their universe of adventure on thunderous drums, spiralling guitars and unforgettable choruses. There’s no looking back from that point on as the superb voice of Alessio Perardi, with great range and tone, delivering each note with apparent ease, leads us on into the likes of the wonderfully addictive ‘Futuremaker’. It quickly becomes apparent that not only do Airborn possess an innate ability for producing exquisite melodic metal, but they have outdone themselves with this album. Every track has individual characteristics that make it stand out from those around it, make it an event in its own right: be it the classic melodic power metal of first single, ‘Soldiers Of Misfortune’, the dark drama and remarkable guitar work of ‘Skeleton Crew’ or the instantly engaging ‘Magic Bullet’. Mention has to be made of the guitar solos that rampage through …Utopia, lighting up the album in joyous, incendiary fashion, but every single musician here is playing at the peak of their powers. Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia is an absolute resounding triumph! Airborn have never sounded better.

Fighter Records will release Lizard Secrets Part Three – Utopia on September 16th digitally and on CD, complete with the dazzling artwork of Trevor Story whose images have adorned both Lizard Secrets Part One - Land of the Living and Lizard Secrets Part Two - Age of Wonder. For all fans of heavy metal, power metal and melodic metal Airborn have delivered one of the must-have releases of 2025!

AMONG THE BODIES RELEASE NEW TRACK: "MEANT FOR EACH OTHER"

 

PRESS RELEASE:

Denver Colorado's "AMONG THE BODIES"  have returned with their new song "Meant For Each Other".

The band comments, "Our new single is about losing a close friend to a new relationship. The music video tells the story and captures the roller coaster of emotions that come along with it, while also highlighting the personalities of the band members." 

The song's brutal blend of deathcore, hardcore and metalcore is a perfect primer for their upcoming EP Making Sense of Our Decay, which is out on June 27th.

AMONG THE BODIES is:

Raye - drums

Mac - guitar

Keith - vocals

Addison - bass

About AMONG THE BODIES:

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Among the Bodies aren’t afraid of anything—including the liminal space between hardcore, deathcore, death metal, and metalcore, which is where they’re most comfortable. While the riffs may be hard to classify, they aren’t hard to mosh to. Appealing to both the old heads who saw deathcore and metalcore storm the scene and the new generation that embraces experimentation, Among the Bodies’ number-one goal is to keep it heavy while having fun.

Making Sense of Our Decay, their second EP, is a bit of a departure from the first EP, Chaotic Intent, which focused more on technicality and melody. Now, with their revised lineup, Among the Bodies are here to make you forget about genre conventions and lose yourself in the pit. While the subject matter on the EP gets a bit serious, delving into the realities of being an aging metalhead or hardcore kid, it’s all done with a tongue-in-cheek attitude and a love for heavy music reminiscent of the genre’s forefathers. We’re all decaying slowly, so why not have fun while doing it?
