HAMMER FIGHT are a bunch whiskey-drinkin’, beer guzzlin’ bros who spawned from New Jersey. Today they are pleased to announce their worldwide signing with Napalm Records. HAMMER FIGHT brings a sound that many kids these days may have missed; Hard Rockin’ Metal. Versatile enough to share the stage with the most extreme death metal acts to classic hard rock bands and everything in between, HAMMER FIGHT are ready to make an impression on the today’s heavy music scene.  

Formed in Los Angeles in 2013, 3TEETH quickly became one of the city’s rising stars in both the industrial and metal scenes. Its self-titled debut, released on Toronto’s Artoffact Records, blazed up the charts after Terrorizer Magazine launched a full stream of it last spring. The album peaked at #8 on the iTunes Electronic Music chart, and pre-orders of a limited edition splatter vinyl, which came with a tooth-shaped USB full of remixes and images, sold out quickly.  

The End Records and Music For Nations are pleased to announce the release of Opeth’s Deliverance & Damnation double album to celebrate the band’s 25th anniversary year.  Though originally written and recorded together, the sessions were split and released separately in 2002 and 2003. This historic moment marks the first time the album is presented as a complete piece, to be available in digital and physical formats on January 1, 2016. CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER!  

CANNIBAL CORPSE will kick off 2016 with one of the most bludgeoning death metal tour lineups of the year! The over month-long trek, presented by The Noise, will tear across North America beginning on February 12th and run through March 20th. The band will be joined by fellow Floridian death metal progenitors, Obituary, as direct support, followed by Canada’s Cryptopsy, and Los Angeles’ Abysmal Dawn. Tickets go on sale this Friday, December 11th, at 10:00am local time through all local and national ticket outlets.  

In the smoldering wake of their III LP’s release through The Compound Recs, and widespread US tour actions, Philly hypergrinders DIE CHOKING are ready to hit the East Coast with two bursts of tour dates in preparation for their first European tour in February.  

    On January 29th, West Virginian dark occult rockers Brimstone Coven will release their first full-length album, Black Magic, via Metal Blade Records! Recorded at Andrew D’Cagna’s Sacred Sound Studios in Ohio, Black Magic was mostly written over a year period against a backdrop of candles, incense, solitude, and a thick air of ganja. The resulting record boasts gritty, groovy riffs (a la Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Led Zeppelin) with Pink Floydian psychedelic movements, and three-part vocal harmonies reminiscent of the Mamas and Papas, Yes, and The Byrds. For a preview of Black Magic, the video for the album’s title track can be viewed at: http://www.metalblade.com/brimstonecoven  

Texas Progressive/Melodic Death Metallers FALL will self-release The Insatiable Weakness on January 26, 2016. Technically accomplished and musically magnificent, the album is a tour de force of dual-guitar firepower and unforgettable melodies. Chemistry is key and The Insatiable Weakness is truly greater than the sum of its parts.  

Agonia Records are proud to announce the worldwide signing of Canadian melodic thrash metal powerhouse, THREAT SIGNAL. The band finished recording their long awaited fourth studio album and follow-up to their 2011 self-titled effort. The new album, “Disconnect”, is scheduled for release in the first half of 2016.
